Benefits of the Son of God no. 27
Power to Conceive the Word
Watchnight Service -
Rev. Brian Kocourek
The twenty sixth benefit or promise of God to us
concerning our believing in His Son is that we are given power to conceive the
Word of God. We find for our text the story of How Mary conceived Life by
believing the promise given to her that is found in Luke chapter 1.
Luke 1: 35 And the angel answered and said
unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest
shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing
which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
Let us pray… Father we have come to thee tonight in
the name of your beloved Son Jesus Christ because that is the name you have
taught us to come to you in, and that is also the name we have ben instructed
in which to pray.
We know that your son inherited that name and we as
sons also have or will inherit that name as well. Then it only makes sense to
come to you in that name because that is your name that we as sons are to
inherit. And now Father we have read from thy Word how that Mary believed the
Words you spoke to her and upon believing those Words she conceived Life,
eternal Life into her womb which Life was the Life of your only begotten Son.
We see here Lord a divine principle that we ourselves wish to receive in that
when we receive your promises we too shall conceive
eternal Life within us. Help us to understand this principle
Lord, and may it bear fruit in the lives we live for we ask it in Jesus
Christ/s name, amen.
PHILIPPIANS
3:20 For our
conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord
Jesus Christ: 21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to
the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
Modern events made clear by prophecy
65-1206 P:35 When a baby is conceived in the womb of a
mother, when that one cell goes in there, another cell builds on top of that.
It's not one cell of a human, the next of a dog, and the next of a cat, and the
next of something else; it's absolutely, straightly, human being. And when a
man's borned of the Spirit of God, he don't inject
anything into his life; It's
unadulterated Word of God vindicated for that hour. He takes the full Word
of God; he don't put no creeds, nothing else into It.
It's purely unadulterated God's Word made manifest among us.
Way
back the 62-1123 P:89 Now, we don't have to be smart; we don't
have to be educated. We have to believe. We have to
humble ourselves and empty ourselves for God to manifest Hisself
through us. Empty up yourself; get
yourself out of the way. The biggest
enemy you have is yourself. Now, you believe God. Do you
do it? Now, if God, our Father, which is the Holy Ghost... The Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ is the Holy Ghost. We know that. "That which is
conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost." And if that Holy Spirit can come into you and I, and perform the very life
that Christ lived, where's your place of doubt?
You
must be born again 61-1231M P:63 What do you do with a baby soon
as it's born? Wash him. Is that right? And as soon as a man has died to himself
and's born of God, he's washed by the
water of the Word. Amen. If It says, "Jesus'
Name," you say "Jesus' Name"; says, "You must be born
again," you say the same thing. Ever what God says, you're washed by that
water of the Word. Amen. Now, you're
ready now for life. You're ready to start out now. Now, you're born anew,
born in the family of God with a new parent. Yes, sir. Your tutors used to
be... Now you got tutors that is now; you got a new Parent. You can't be born without having a parents. So if you're born in
the brotherhood of a church, that's what you got. If you're born in a creed,
there you are. But if you're born in
God, conceived in His Word, you got a new Parent; that's God, ready to make
His Word known among us, with you, speak It through you. Oh, a new Parent, that Parent is God. He's ready to take His Word now that He's
already spoke, and lay It in you and make It come to
life. See? Now, you have your training now. You're ready to go into
training now, child-training. That's the hard part, when you think you ought to
do this, and the Word cuts you around and shows you something else. "Why,
they believe that over..." That don't make any difference what they
believe. Here's what God said. You must
be about the Father's business. Now you're getting
born again. Now you're getting right, getting straightened out. You have a
new Parent.
Mark
of the beast 56-0715 P:50 What is it by a mother? The little egg lays
there. The little seed lays there waiting for the male. And as soon as the male
germ comes... The male germ rushes quick. And what is it? A blood cell. It opens itself. Oh, God, can you hear, understand
what I mean? God, let it, it opens itself, and around this
forms a little pocket of blood. On the inside of this puts this little
egg to life, and in there begins to come forth. In there brings life.We are conceived by the Holy Ghost. The
Spirit of God comes into our hearts, brings a new Person Christ Jesus; old
things die. And if you reject to hear it and just keep... "Well, my
preacher said this, that, or the other." And you refuse to have life, you become sterile. Then you come to a
place where you can't have no more children. You're sterile. You're in
reproach. You can't have children. And if you grieve the Spirit of God too many
times, you are sealed. You don't hear It
no more.First
time you hear it, oh, my, you let your hair grow out. You act like ladies. You
didn't wear these things. You act like a lady; you act like a man. You kept
your house in order; you done those things. But then all at once It begin to move around. What was it? You never let the life
come in and go to work. You died prematurely. That's right.
I JOHN 3:1 ¶ Behold, what manner of love the Father hath
bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore
the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 2 Beloved,
now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we
know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as
he is. 3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he
is pure. 4 ¶ Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is
the transgression of the law.
WHO IS THIS
MELCHISEDEC 65-0221E 78Then
when a man is borned again from heaven, he becomes a spirit babe in Christ. And
then when this robe of flesh is dropped, there is a natural body, theophany, a
body not made with hands, neither born of a woman, that we go to. Then that body
returns back and picks up the glorified body. That's
the reason Jesus went to hell when he died and preached to the souls that were
in prison. Turned back into that theophany... Oh, marvelous. Thank God.
II Corinthians 5:1 "If this earthly body be dissolved
(this earthly tabernacle), we have another one." See, we have bypassed
that to come straight from God, the attribute, to be flesh
to be tempted and tested by sin like Adam did. But when testing of His Word is
over, then we are taken up to this body that was prepared for us before the
foundation of the world. It is the Word there that we skipped to come right
around down here to be tempted and tested. If we'd have come through that,
there'd have been no temptation; we'd knowed all things. That's the reason
Jesus knowed all things, 'cause He was Word before He was flesh.
Then we become the Word. Here we are formed to
the Word image to be a partaker of the Word, feed on the Word, by being
predestinated since the beginning. You see, that
little spark of life that you had in you from the beginning when you started
your journey... Many of you can remember it. You joined this church and joined
that church, and try this and that; nothing satisfied.
That's right. But one day you just recognized it. Right.
There are three things that Brother Branham
states in this paragraph that I would like to examine by the Word of God. In
these three statements we have the entire life cycle of the Elect Son or
Daughter of God played out. In fact his fist statement
before he lays out the process of the life cycle, defines what that life cycle
is all about. He says, Then when a man is born again from heaven, he becomes a spirit
babe in Christ. So then we see that he will
be speaking of that spiritual babe and the life cycle that it must go through
in order for it to enter into that eternal kingdom, just as he already spoke of
the physical life cycle of the natural baby in order for it to come forth into
the kingdom of this world.
Now Brother Branham uses the word the word a spirit babe which suggests to us that what we
have gone through in the natural cycle of life, we must also go through in the
spiritual cycle of life. Now, just before he said these words
he said the same thing. He said, "Think of a
little baby". (So he is asking us to
picture in our minds a little baby. Then he begins to explain about the process
or life cycle that this little baby must go through in the natural.) He says, You can take a woman, no matter how evil she is, when she is
pregnant and fixing to be mother, watch before that baby's born; I don't care
how cruel the woman is, she gets real kind. There's something about her seems
godly, to see a little mother fixing to become mother by the baby. Why is it?
That little body... Now, it's not alive yet. See the only thing it is, is just
flesh and muscles. That little jumping, that's just muscles jerking. But when
it comes forth from the womb, God breathes the breath of life into it, and then
he screams out. See, just as sure as there is a natural body being formed,
there is a spiritual body to receive it as soon as it gets here.
So we see that brother Branham is painting a picture by
words of the life cycle that we must go through in order to be born again. He
says it is like a physical birth in the sense that without the Spirit entering
the child it would be born stillbirth, and dead. And the same is true of this
body without a new birth. You can be an elect Seed child of God but until you
receive that Spirit from above, you might just as well be a pile of jumping
nerves and muscles. He tells us, at the point of birth the spirit of the child
is waiting to enter the child, and thus it's presence there, waiting to enter
that body, creates an atmosphere for the mother to live in, creating an
atmosphere of expectation, or we could call it a welcoming spirit.
Therefore there are three things I want to point out here this
morning that Brother Branham is laying out for us to understand, and they are:
#1) Brother Branham said, we bypassed our
theophany (Our Word Body) in order to come to the
world to be tested by the Word. See, we have
bypassed that to come straight from God, the attribute, to be flesh to be tempted and tested by sin like Adam did. That
is the state we are in here in this flesh. He then shows how it all begins in
the womb, …
#2) Then he speaks of our journey back to
the image of the Son. How that a little spark of Light starts us on our road
back to the image we were ordained to be manifesting. You see, that little spark of life
that you had in you from the beginning when you started your journey... Many of
you can remember it. You joined this church and joined that church,
and try this and that; nothing satisfied. That's right. But one day you
just recognized it.
#3) He said, when this robe of flesh is dropped, there is a natural body,
theophany, a body not made with hands, neither born of a woman, that we go to.
Then that body returns back and picks up the glorified
body. Then that body returns back and picks up the
glorified body. Then we become the Word. Here we are formed to the Word
image to be a partaker of the Word, feed on the Word, by being predestinated
since the beginning.
Now the apostle Paul tells us the same thing: I Corinthians
Now, pay close attention to this next verse. 40 [There
are] also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: (Notice he is
identifying two different kinds of bodies. There are earthly bodies and
heavenly bodies. Then he speaks of the heavenly.) but the
glory (That word is doxa, and it speaks of this celestial being or body is
capable of having a glory, of having an opinion, assessment and judgment, which
is the same word Jesus used and which God speaks of the Elect only receiving.) but the
glory of the celestial [is] one, and the terrestrial [is] another
(Heteros, meaning; of a
different nature altogether).
Now, the King James version translators injected the
word glory here, in speaking of the terrestrial, but it is nowhere to be found
in the original. In fact the literal translation is
this: There are bodies made for celestial beings which are capable of
reflecting God's glory, and there are bodies made for the earth which are not,
for they have another nature within them, a nature which in no way reflects
God's Glory.
Paul continues by saying; 41 [There is]
one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the
stars: for [one] star differeth from [another] star in glory. 42 So also [is]
the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in
incorruption: 43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in
weakness; it is raised in power: 44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a
spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 45 And
so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living
soul; the last Adam [was made] a quickening spirit. 46 Howbeit that [was] not
first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which
is spiritual. (Now why would Paul make this distinction the way he does. The reason is
because that is the way it is. That is why brother Branham can say, we bypassed
out theophany. Because Paul said it. Paul distinctly tells us the natural man
comes first and then the spirit man. And that is the order of the resurrection.
The man is given a body in this earth for the testing of the Word. If there is
no word in him it simply goes back to the dust from
which it came. However, if that Body had received the Spirit of God by the new
birth, then that person receives there spirit body
when their soul leaves the body of the dust.) 47 The first
man [is] of the earth, earthy: the second man [is] the Lord from heaven. (Thus
Paul is making a distinction between the earth bound man and the Elect Son or
Daughter of God. He continues to clarify this by saying, )48 As [is]
the earthy(earthbound), such [are] they also that are earthy (earthbound): and as [is]
the heavenly, such [are] they also that are heavenly. Therefore you can see Paul
letting us know that there will be two groups of people. Those who are made
only for the earth and that is there final destination,
canon fodder so to speak. Ashes for the regeneration of the earth. But notice
the other group are made for a heavenly purpose, and he continues to tell us
the cycle of life of these by not only saying and as [is]
the heavenly, such [are] they also that are heavenly. (But notice Paul
clarifies this group by saying that they are the ones who will receive a
change.)49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we
shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
In other words, although while here on earth we have
what appears to be a earthly appearance, yet we have a
change coming. Notice verse 50. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and
blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit
incorruption. (Paul is telling us we can not stay in this earthly condition to inherit
the kingdom of God. And yet if we are ordained to inherit it, then something
must happen to the appearance we have. And that thing which must happen is that
we must be changed in our bodies.) 51 ¶ Behold,
I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, And now Paul will begin to tell us how that change will take place. 52 In a
moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall
sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [must] put on
immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and
this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the
saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where
[is] thy sting? O grave, where [is] thy victory? 56 The sting of death [is]
sin; and the strength of sin [is] the law. 57 But thanks [be] to God, which
giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 ¶ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye
stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye
know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
Now, the life cycle has been presented to us. We are
born into this world for testing of the Word. Only the elect of God are given something within them that will receive that Word
because only the Elect Seed are ordained to be able to understand the Word and
to believe it.
ACTS
This morning we are going to read from
paragraph 115 of brother Branham's sermon on "Who
is this Melchisedec". I am only going to read the first
half of the paragraph because it speaks of one specific thought and the thought
then is expanded in the second half of the paragraph. In fact
the person who transcribed this should have broken this paragraph into two because
there are two distinct thoughts laid out in it. But to keep the continuity of
thought, we will only read from the first half of this paragraph, and we will
move onto the second half in another sermon to come Lord Willing next week.
WHO IS THIS
MELCHISEDEC 65-0221E 115
Everything's in three. The natural birth's in three.
What's the first thing happens to the woman having a baby? What breaks first?
Water. What breaks next? Blood. What's the next process? Life: Water,
blood, spirit. What happens to the plant? Rots. What's the first thing? Stalk.
What's the next? Tassel. What's the next? Shuck. Then the grain comes out of
that, just the three stages of it till it gets to the grain. That's
exactly. God vindicates that. That's always been right; God vindicates it to be
true. Show plainly the predestinated is the only one that's considered in
redemption. Did you get it? Let me say that again. The predestinated is
the only one that's considered in redemption. People might be making like,
think they are, but the real redemption is those that are predestinated.
Because the very word "redeem" means "to bring back."
Is that right? To redeem is something... To redeem anything is bring it back
to its original place. Hallelujah. So
it's only the predestinated will be brought back, because the others didn't
come from there. See? Bring back...
LUKE
I JOHN 5:7-8 For there are three that
bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three
are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the
water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. 9 If we receive the witness
of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he
hath testified of his Son.
Notice, water, blood and spirit which are three stages of life. And God is Perfected in three's. The Father, The
Word, and the Holy Ghost. These are not three, but it says they are one.
There are also three comings. The first to
bleed and die, the secodn we meet him in the air and the third he comes with
his saints. Then there are three exoduses under the Pillar of Fire, where God
takes us out from and then there is a wandering in the wilderness of sin, and
finally an entering into. And then there are three pulls.
In redemption we have three stages of Life
of the believer. First there is justification, then sanctification and finally
the baptism of the aHoly Spirit.
The earth is cleansed three times...The
first by water, the second by man’s fire, and the third by God's Holy fire.
Then we have the process whereby our faith
moves into action which paul states as Faith, Hope, and Love, these three, and
tells us the greatest of these is love.
Then in I Peter he mentions Praise, Honor
and Glory which are the three stages of our Growth process into Sons. You have
as the Scripture says here, "water, blood and spirit." Three stages
of Life.
Now in order for
Life to come forth, in the natural, the woman must receive the seed first. Then
the process begins, then the life comes forth. CONCEPTION, TRANSFORMATION, and
IDENTIFICATION. CONCEPTION: <to take
in or receive, to begin life. > A seed being planted.
Now there are a few things about this
Conception that we must understand, if we are to
understand this process of Life.
1) The seed that is sewn is not the same as
what comes up.
I COR
2) There has got to be an order or law that
governs reproduction in all life. Otherwise, conception would bring total
chaos.
GEN 1: 11 -
12. And God said,
Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, [and] the fruit tree
yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed [is] in itself, upon the earth: and
it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, [and] herb yielding seed after
his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed [was] in itself, after his
kind: and God saw that [it was] good.
Notice, God says it then He performs it. The
law of God is only God in action. Word and Power. And "HE WHO GAVE THE
WORD IS HERE TO CONFIRM IT."
3) The
seed must bring forth after it's kind. If there is Life in the seed, then what
life is in that seed is the same life that will manifest itself.
JOHN 1: 1, ¶ In the beginning was
the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 14. And the Word was
made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the
only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
I JOHN 1: 1 ¶ That which was from the beginning, which we have
heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our
hands have handled, of the Word of life; 2 For the life was manifested, and we
have seen [it], and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which
was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) 3That which we have seen and
heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly
our fellowship [is] with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
Years ago I heard
of a a woman who thought she was expecting a child, and she seemed to have all
the symptoms, and seemed to be carrying the child to full term & then
nothing. Just like some Christians. They say they are born again but to what.
There's no manifested life. The woman saw a transformation within her self, but there was no seed in her. No Life in her, yet
she could see herself being transformed, she thought. I think she was just
eating too much and she got fat. But oh, how they were
expecting but nothing came of it.
Now the Three stages of Life is very important. You could have two and have a still born.
JOHN 14: 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give
you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit
of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither
knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and
shall be in you. 18 ¶ I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. ( This is not complete yet) There must be a further
fulfillment in order to bring forth the Life into manifestation. JOHN 17: 20 - 22. ¶ Neither pray I for these alone, but for them
also which shall believe on me through their word; 21 That they all may be one;
as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us:
that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22 And the glory which thou
gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
Now here it says that the Glory or the Doxa
was necessary to bring on this special identification. "THAT THEY MAY BE
ONE". We see it again in EPHESIANS 1: 13-14 which
is the same as JOHN
Brother Branham said, the threefold mystery
was "CHRIST WITH YOU, CHRIST IN YOU AND CHRIST
THROUGH YOU."
The seed must bring forth after
It's kind.
I remember when I was in Edmonton, I was walking
through the worlds largest mall and I stopped at a Zoo
that was in there and I looked at the monkeys. A man next to me said,
"isn't it something to think that we came from them", I looked at
him, and I said, "you might have but I sure didn't". My mouth gets me
into trouble sometimes.
SONG OF SOLOMON. 3:1-4 ¶ By night
on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
2 I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways
I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not. 3 The
watchmen that go about the city found me: [to whom I said], Saw ye him whom my
soul loveth? 4 [It was] but a little that I passed from them, but I found him
whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought
him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.
She saw an identification and received a
seed and conceived. You can only conceive of the Life of the one you are having
your love affair with. It is either Christ, or Satan.
COL 3:4 When Christ, [who is] our
life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
I JOHN 3: 1 – 2 ¶ Behold, what
manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the
sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not,
because it knew him not. 2 Beloved, now are we the
sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that,
when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
Now these false ministries that you
see on TV and the radio, the people come, they see, they hear, but there is no conception.
WHY? Because there is no message. And if no message, then no seed. And if no
seed, then there is No life.
"Nothing outside the
revealed word can come to life."
In the SONG OF SOLOMON, the identification
was external. The Life was manifested to her, but it then came to her and then
in her. From external to internal. This is the age of the ear, which is the
female. The Word spoken is a projectile, the spora.
I PETER
Our Mt. Carmel showdown is when the rapture
takes place. That will be our complete identification. That will tell whether you
really conceived or not. or whether you went through a term birth but really
had nothing there.
The woman has a sort of seed that must come in contact with the male to be quickened. The church
like the woman can't bring forth life on her own.
The Word is the seed that brings to life. I PETER 1:3 It is He
that brings to Life. But just as the same spirit that is upon the N.O.W. group,
they don't want a man. They think they are self sufficient. Women type the
church. A woman can't produce life on their own. It takes the man. A woman that
tries to bring forth a child by coming together with another woman, is nothing
but a perversion. And so is it when the church tries to bring forth life. They
can't do it. They are only producing a perversion.
It takes the Lord Himself to bring the new
birth. JUSTIFICATION made a way for SANCTIFICATION which MADE A WAY FOR THE
BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST, which made a way for the BAPTIZER HIMSELF to become
identified among us.
ABRAHAM: God's appearing made a way for the
arrival of the promised son.
Now let's examine what takes place after CONCEPTION.
The next stage is transformation. This is the part that woman really hate. They
don't mind the conception part. But they do not like the transformation part
because it calls for sacrifice on her part. I JOHN
3: 3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth
himself, even as he is pure. What hope?
WOMAN: At first
she is not aware that she has conceived: She feels lousy, she looks in the
mirror, looks lousy, feels sick. I thought when I was born again, I would
become sinless. I see more that I hate about myself now than ever before. A
time of inner turmoil takes place.
EVE: Before she could commit her act,
physically, she had to do it mentally, which is spiritually. So too we receive a
change spiritually before we receive our change physically.
II COR
ROM 12:1-3 ¶ I
beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your
bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your
reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed
by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and
acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 3 For I say, through the grace given unto
me, to every man that is among you, not to think [of himself] more highly than
he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every
man the measure of faith. The transformation begins by the renewing
of the mind.
ROMANS 8: 5-6 For
they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that
are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded [is]
death; but to be spiritually minded [is] life and peace.
She conceives, then she goes through a
transitional period where she feels lousy. But there is something happening
inside of her. I remember one time brother Vayle came to Minneapolis Minnesota
and I brought a friend. He went home that night and as he prayed about what He heard , he got sick. So he thought
that it was God warning him to stay away. My goodness, can you imagine a woman
who marries a man and she conceives and when she
starts to feel sick she says, I need to get away from this man, he's making me
sick. Don't you know that when you come to the Lord and Conceive of His Life, It causes you to have heart ache and inner turmoil and all
sorts of nausea about yourself. Why? Because something is about to take place.
Something is coming alive in you and it's displacing other parts of you. It's
pushing out the old man.
She who is aware of the birth prepares
herself. A woman who smokes and drinks when she finds out she is expecting, she
stops her smoking, her drinking, she prepares herself. She brings her whole
body to nurture that. The very camel that Rebecca watered is the very thing
that packed her home.
In the 3rd or 4th seal Brother Branham
said, "the very seed she is watering will take her on out of here."
If the woman has any motherhood in her, her
whole life becomes dedicated to bringing forth that life that is in her. That’s
the puifying we see in I JN 3:3
When the conception occurs, the first thing
that forms is the head and the spinal cord. Then later on,
the body and the limbs. Then as cell is added upon cell, the fingers and toes begin
to appear. The characteristics of the father are beginning to come forth in
finer detail as the life within you grows. It comes more into the image of The
Father as IT comes closer to the birth. AS THE NEGATIVE COMES CLOSER TO THE POSITIVE , THE MORE LIKE THE POSITIVE IT BECOMES. (the shadow).
I JOHN 3:2
It's begins drawing forth. "DRAW ME
AND WE SHALL RUN AFTER THEE, FOR THE KING HAS DRAWN ME INTO HIS CHAMBERS."
JUST LIKE THE LILLY, THE SON DRAWING IT UP.
<explain>
Becoming more apparent all the time who the
Father is. GAL 4:19
When people see her coming
they don't know what is happening to her, until she becomes to a place that it
shows in her flesh. When the woman doesn't understand what she is going
through, she doesn't feel comfortable with anybody else, and she doesn't feel
comfortable with herself either.
When she finally understands what is
happening, then she should be able to deal with it. Oh, you may still have your
mourning sickness. You may still go through the pains and uneasiness, and I
won't deny that you may feel lousy, but just remember, Life is coming forth.
You may feel like you are the lousiest Christian that ever walked the earth,
but just remember, Life is coming forth. Stick with it. Don't abort.
MARK 4:1 ¶ And
he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was
gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in
the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land. 2 And he taught
them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine, 3 Hearken;
Behold, there went out a sower to sow: 4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some
fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came
and devoured it up. 5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much
earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: 6 But
when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered
away. 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and
it yielded no fruit. 8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that
sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and
some an hundred. 9 And he said unto them, He that hath
ears to hear, let him hear. 10 And when he was alone, they that were about him
with the twelve asked of him the parable. 11 And he said unto them, Unto you it
is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without,
all [these] things are done in parables: 12 That seeing they may see, and not
perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they
should be converted, and [their] sins should be forgiven them. 13 And he said
unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will
ye know all parables? 14 The sower soweth the word. 15 And these are they by
the way side, where the word is sown; but when they
have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in
their hearts. (This is an aborted life because satan does this to the life of the
word in this person) 16 And these are they likewise which are
sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive
it with gladness; 17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a
time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake,
immediately they are offended. (This is the still born child who hear and receive with joy but then
when the Word is preached that calls forth for them to bear the cross of the
Word, they get offended. )18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, 19 And the cares of this
world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering
in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. (This is the Laodicean bunch who love the
cares of this world more than they love God's Word which calls for a total
separation from unbelief and the things of this world.) 20
And these are they which are sown on good ground; such
as hear the word, and receive [it], and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold,
some sixty, and some an hundred. (This is the Elect seed Gene of God who are ordained to receive the
change in the body)

EXPLAINING HEALING AND JAIRUS 54-0216 You are now. Now, we're sons of
God. Now, we're seated together in heavenly places. Now, we have all powers in
heavens and the earth. See? Now, we have it. Not in the millennium, we won't
need it then. We got it now.
We're... Right now we are the sons of God. "It
does not appear what we shall be, but we know we'll be like Him." What you are here is a reflection of what you are somewhere else.
"Those who He called, He justifies." Is that
right? "Those who He justified, He has glorified." Already in the
Presence of the Father, we have a glorified body. Whew! Wasn't that deep?
All right. We'll find out whether it's right or not. "If this earthly
tabernacle be dissolved, we have one already waiting." Is that right?
That's right. So right now, and what we are there, is a reflection. Here, what we are here, is a
reflection of what we are somewhere else. So
if your deeds are evil, you know where it comes from. You know where your other
body's a waiting.
MARK 4: 13 - 15, These are those that miscarriage.
4: 16 - 17, These are they which abort.
4: 18 - 19, These are they which still birth.
Where there is a birth, something had to
die. There is a movement. Your body doesn't do what it used to do. There's a transforming
power that has taken over. It's bringing forth a manifestation in your flesh
that at first is not so noticeable, but as the development comes forth more and
more, it becomes apparent to everyone just what is happening.
GAL 4:19 ¶ My
little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in
you,
He never said it would be painless. The
pain is until when? I have actually heard women say
that a good reason for having an abortion was that they did not want stretch
marks. Others abort because the transformation is more than they can bear. But let's
see what Paul said about that. II COR 4: 8 10. [We are] troubled on every side, yet not distressed; [we are]
perplexed, but not in despair; 9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but
not destroyed; 10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus,
that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
Others don't want to be
inconvenienced. Others think it will cramp there
lifestyle. You know these are the same reasons people abort there walk with
God. They want a religion of convenience. One which won't cramp their
lifestyle. One which won't cause too much pain. One which will let them live
any old way they choose. But you know abortions not only kill the Life that is being
brought forth, it also puts a mark upon the one
allowing it to happen.
MATT 24 : 3 - 8 <NIV> Jesus left the temple and was walking
away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. 2 "Do you see all these
things?" he asked. "I tell you the truth, not one stone here will be
left on another; every one will be thrown down." 3 As Jesus was sitting on
the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. "Tell us," they said, "when will this happen, and what will
be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?" 4 Jesus answered:
"Watch out that no one deceives you. 5
For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive
many. 6 You will hear of
wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are
not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against
nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in
various places. 8 All these
are the beginning of birth pains.
Now don't be expecting an easy time of it. Birth
pains come harder and harder and with less time in between. Faster and faster, harder and harder until the birth comes.
II COR 3: 18 <NIV> And we,
who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s Glory, are being transformed
into His Likeness with ever increasing Glory, which comes from the Lord, who is
the Spirit.
JOHN 3: 1 -7 ¶ There
was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2 The same
came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a
teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except
God be with him. 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto
thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the
kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a
man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's
womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and [of] the Spirit, he cannot
enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and
that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
If you sow to the flesh you shall reap from
the flesh. If you sow to the Spirit you shall reap
from the Spirit. We move from the second stage of Life into the third which is
IDENTIFICATION.
I COR
Moving more and more into the face, Love
himself.
That transformation brings us into an
identification. We shall know as we are known.
COL 3: 4 When
Christ who is our Life shall appear, (the word appear was taken from the Greek word
phaneroo – which means to mainfest in ones true character, and notice when He,
Christ who is said to be our very life, and when he shall manifest in his true
character) then
shall we also appear (and that is the same word phaneroo which means
we shall also manifest in our true charater) with him in Glory(and this word glory was
translated from the Greek word doxa which is the opinion, estimation and
judgment of God) Therefore if Christ appears and He is the Word then we by that
same Life and same word shall also appear in our true character, the character
that is true to that Word and that Life..
I PET 1:3 Let the
God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ be eulogized, who impelled by his
abundant mercy caused us to be born again so that we have hope which is alive,
This living hope having been made actual through the internediate
instrumentality of the resurrection of Jesus Christ out from among those who
are dead, resulting in an inheritance imperishable and undefuiled, and that
does not fade away.
I PETER
ROMANS
8: 18 - 25 For I reckon that the sufferings
of this present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which
shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth
for the manifestation of the sons of God. 20 For the creature was made subject
to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected [the same] in
hope, 21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage
of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know
that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 23
And not only [they], but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the
Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, [to
wit], the redemption of our body. 24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is
seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope
for? 25 But if we hope for that we see not, [then] do we with patience wait for
[it].
