Benefits of the Son of God no. 27

Power to Conceive the Word

Watchnight Service - December 31, 2004

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 15:35 ¶ But some [man] will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? 36 [Thou] fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: 37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other [grain]: (Here Paul tells us it is all like planting and harvesting. He says the body you plant into the ground is not the same as what comes forth out of the ground. He says, that little seed that goes into the ground has in it a life and it is that life that comes forth, up from the ground into manifestation as to what life lay within it. And he recons that to what happens with the human body and in the resurrection He continues: )38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. (Now, this is important for us to see here. Every Seed is given it's own body. Therefore Elect See have one kind of a body that they will come up in and non elect seed also must have another kind of body they will come up in. One incorruptible and the other corruptible. One that is impossible for it to die, while the other very capable of dying.) 39 All flesh [is] not the same flesh: but [there is] one [kind of] flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, [and] another of birds.

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 13:48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

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 23: 29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed [are] the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. If that isn't the condition of the world today, they would rather have a dog or cat, than to mother a child. And remember, the woman in the bible always typed the church. Notice, the Scripture said, and " They will say blessed is the womb that is barren, not "we shall say", but "they will say". They don't want the responsibility that goes with childbearing.

 

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 15:35 - 39 ¶ But some [man] will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? 36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: 37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other [grain]: 38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. 39 All flesh [is] not the same flesh: but [there is] one [kind of] flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, [and] another of birds.

 

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 14:16 but is not the fulfillment itself. But notice verse 15 -17, which the Father of Doxa comes to bring on the fulfillment.

 

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 1: 23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.. The ear is the reciprocal, or the female organ, the mind is the womb of the spirit. The EXTERNAL WORD comes in and becomes internal Life.

 

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 3:17 - 18. Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord [is], there [is] liberty. 18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, [even] as by the Spirit of the Lord.

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)

 

E-35 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.

 4: 20...... These are the Bride who bring forth Life in the Image of the Father.

 

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 13: 12 -13 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these [is] charity.

 

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 1: 22 -23 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, [see that ye] love one another with a pure heart fervently: 23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

 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].
