Christ Revealed in His Own Word #38
The
Predestinated Soul
Sunday Morning,

Brian
Kocourek, Pastor Grace Fellowship
Wednesday night
we read from pp. 23-27 of “Christ
Revealed in His Own Word” where Brother Branham spoke the following thoughts. But down on the inside of that
next realm, the third realm, is the soul; and that's predestinated by God.
There's where the real seed-germ lays,
is in there... no matter what the outside is..
Picking up at PP.
[27] we hear Brother Branham saying, “Today's so confused about the evidence of
the Holy Ghost and so forth. Satan can impersonate any kind of a gift that
God's got, but he cannot bring that
Word, word by word. That's where he failed in the garden of Eden; that's where he's always failed. That's
where them... The tape on false anointed ones.
They can be anointed with the Spirit, speak in tongues, dance, shout,
preach the Gospel, and still a devil. It's
the inside. Now, remember, Jesus
said. "All the Father has given Me, will come to Me. No man can come
except My Father draws him first."
And so we studied
these thoughts here as they are indeed an integral part of his message that is
teaching us that “Christ Is Revealed in
His Own Word!” And so we see him
speak here that satan can impersonate any of the gifts of God but the one thing
he can not do is to bring that Word of God, Word by Word by Word. He went on to
say that that is where satan has always failed is in the bringing forth of the
Word of God. Now since brother Branham told us that the five senses were a gift
from God and satan can impersonate any of the gifts God gives us then in
essence we are being told to never place our confidence in our five senses,
neither the five outer senses or the five inner senses.
From the message
[Super Sense PP 53]he said, “God gave you those senses, but they're given to you as a gift.
And it depends on how you, what you
yield these senses to, will be the way that your life is controlled: the way you yield those five senses,
you're... What you see, what you hear, what you taste, smell, or feel, whatever those senses are yielded to,
they will dominate you. And we are
grateful to God that we have the five senses, but by no means was these five senses given to you to guide you. They were given to you for earthly contact.
But there was given you the sixth sense,
and that sixth sense is--belongs only to
the Christian. And you cannot have
this sixth sense until you become a Christian, is the only way that you can
ever have any more than the five natural senses for the natural person. The sixth sense is better known, to the
Christian, as faith. It's the one
that governs and guides you, and it
is superior to all the other senses. It's a superior to all of the senses, the
other five senses.
We have found in
our study that both God and Satan use the outer senses to affect the Inner man.
The Greatest Battle ever fought is in the realm of the Spirit but it is for
possession of the Soul. Brother Branham said in the message Greatest Battle Ever Fought,
that satan’s objective is to disarm you. If he can get you to think that your
weapon is not enough then you won’t use it. And your weapon is that sixth sense of Faith that only the
believer possesses. Satan is no
different in his strategy than any other super power. The USA was able to get
Russia to reduce it’s arms build up because of a bluff. Ronald Reagan the actor
that he was, was able to bluff Russia into spending billions of dollars that it
didn’t have trying to defend themselves from our STAR WARS project. It was to
be a huge system of satellites that would have lasers in them that would act
like a big safety net. If Russia sent a missile over, it would spot the missile
and shoot it out of the sky with a laser beam. We really didn’t have the
technology to do it, but the bluff worked. And it bankrupted Russia.
Satan himself is
the biggest bluffer there is and if he can get you to not use your Faith, then
he’s got you beat. And remember, in the
beginning it was the bluff he told, the tale that he told that caused 1/3 of
the angels to fall. Remember, [Rev 12:4]
is [ Isa 9:15] And it was a tale which
according to Webster is a story
which is fiction, falsehood or a lie. we find the tail of [Rev 12:4] is the same as found in [Rev 9:19]
Now I want you to
notice here that their power is in their mouth and their tail which tail has a head
or heads. And it causes injury like that which a serpent does. Now, in closer
review we see that these things which hurt through the tale that they tell is
actually a plague of evil spirits that are set loose upon man when the sixth
seal is opened. Let’s back up and read from [Rev 9:13 => 10:1]

23-4 Feast of the
Trumpets (Now notice real close.), under the Sixth Trumpet (Revelations
9:13), under the Sixth Trumpet, note, there was two hundred thousand horsemen
that had been bound in the river of Euphrates was turned loose under the Sixth Trumpet. Now, there's not two hundred
thousand horsemen in the world, but there was two hundred thousand
horsemen. Notice it. (I want you just
jot it down, so you can read it.) They wasn't natural horses. They breathed
fire, and they had breastplates of jasper, and--and they had tails, and the end
of the tail looked like a serpent, a snake's head on the end of it, stinging.
See? It was spiritual horses, spiritual devils, chargers, that had been bound
in Euphrates all these years, supernatural devils. What was it? The old Roman Empire being revived, the
persecution of the Jews. And they'd been bound for nearly two thousand years at
the river Euphrates, can't cross to the promise, a religious sect that was
trying to get to the other side. Euphrates, you know, come through Eden. But
they were bound there, two hundred thousand devils of persecution.
24-1 Feast of
the Trumpets And notice what
happens under that Sixth Trumpet. They were turned loose on the Jews, the
persecution of the Jews. Supernatural devils, nearly two thousand years, then
loosed by Stalin, Hitler, upon the
Jews. You say, "Well, that isn't
Roman." It's the same spirit that
done the same things it did to the Christians in the old pagan Roman days
(Now, watch the natural Israel and the spiritual Church now, as we separate it
here.) turned loose on the Jews.
25-3 Feast of
the Trumpets
Two thousand years,
this spirit through the Roman people, the Roman church, could not move. But
that same spirit, coming up first down there into Mussolini in Rome, the
dictator... You know the seven things
He showed me in '33 would come to pass? Five of them's already passed. Doctor
Lee Vayle's writing a book on it there now. See? Five things perfectly, and
just two more things to happen. Said it'd happen just before the coming. Here
we are right at the end now, and look
like that sixth thing's moving right up. See? Perfectly, exactly, even the
wars and how they'd happen exactly on the dot, and not one time did it
miss. Listen folks, we ought to take
inventory every hour. We don't know where we're standing--real close.
26-2 Feast of the Trumpets
Now, now, he loosed upon... Under
that Sixth Seal, these two hundred thousand spiritual demons, started in Rome,
Germany--Hitler. Notice, over in
the Bible where they received--never--they received power as kings, but wasn't
crowned. A dictator's not a crowned
king, just receive power as a king.
Oh, the Spirit of
God is moving through me now (you know?) just saying something; I don't know
how to say it, nor what to say and maybe I'd better not.
Now notice, he is
speaking of these spirit’s being loosed upon the earth and then he jumps to
dictators. First Musolini in Rome because that is where these spirits of hell
are from. Then onto Germany and Hitler, then Stalin in Russia, and then where
would you guess? Now remember, these men were not kings, but they received
crowns as kings. I don’t say this for
doctrine, but each of these men received power to rule as kings, yet they were
not kings. Now what I want to show you
next is how this thing, these spirit’s of hell, that deceive are coming forth
at this end-time and look at the damage they have already done. But what did
Brother Branham prophecy would happen to America? He said we too would have
someone who would be a strong ruler or a dictator. And do you know what He said
about this person? Let me read it.
12 LIFE 57-0602
You know, the women's on the
increase here in the nation, though. You know, that's what we're thinking
about. You see? There's... I think it's--it's about three to five, three out of
five children that's born, three of them are girls. And the women are getting
bigger, the men are getting smaller. Women are taking over, 'course that's just
the trend of the prophecy of the day, that this
nation is a woman's nation. It'll be run by a woman. And remember,
third--1933, I saw that come in a
vision, a great powerful woman will take over the whole nation someday. That's
exactly right, before the end time, before total annihilation.

136 Why are we not a Denomination? 58-0927 And
I said, "Remember, in that day, before the end time comes, before the end
time comes, that a woman... Now, you all keep this wrote down. There'll be a great powerful woman raise
up, either be President, or dictator, or some great powerful woman in
this United States. And she'll sink under the influence of women. Now,
you remember; that's THUS SAITH THE LORD."
Are you aware
that when Jennifer Flowers went public about her affair with Bill Clinton
before the Election, that in order to
counter her attack he made an agreement with Hillary that if she stood by him he would let her run domestic affairs?
To run Domestic affairs means to run this nation and she has made a shambles of
it. Her influence has sunk this nation into a depth of rottenness and
immorality that this nation will never recover from. Just watch and see if that
isn’t the Truth.
49 Laodicean Church Age 60-1211E But there'll be a powerful woman. Now,
remember, this is on tape too. A
powerful woman, great woman, she'll either be President, or it'll be a
woman representing the Catholic church (which I think it is) will take over
here someday and she'll rule this
country. This nation is a woman's nation. Flag was made by a woman; it's
number thirteen. She started out, thirteen stars, thirteen stripes, thirteen
colonies. Everything's thirteen, thirteen, thirteen, right on down. Thirteen
stars on her silver dollar now. Everything's a thirteen. It's number thirteen,
and appears in the 13th chapter of Revelation: completely thirteen. Everything is "woman, woman, woman,
woman, woman," right on down. And
she took over all the offices. She's
took over Hollywood. She's took over the nation. She's took over the offices.
She's took over everything there is; equal rights with the man, votes with the
man, cusses like a man, drinks like a man, anything else. And the--just bait
for the Catholic church, for the worship of a woman. They're already
worshipping a woman anyhow. She's
the best... An immoral woman is the best bait the Devil ever had. She's worse
than all the barrooms that ever was. She can send more souls to hell than all
the barrooms in the country. That's right.
E-93 Why
61-0128 I'm not Democrat nor Republican;
I'm a Christian; so I don't mention these things. But I picked up an old book
there that the Lord had gave me a vision in 1933 when I just first become a
minister, going down to the Baptist Tabernacle. And He gave me a vision that
morning, ... I seen a powerful woman
stand up to the United States. You can write this down if you do so--it's
going to happen. I don't know... She's on her road now. Exactly. And she took over. And then I seen the
United States just like something had burnt it over hit it, and just something,
blowed up rocks and things.
Now, we are
looking at Satan’s ability to bluff. And look at what Bill and Hillary have
done. They have escaped the American peoples judgment on White Water, Nanny
Gate, Insider trading, Travel gate, infidelity, paganism in the white house
where pagan phallic symbols were hung up for Christmas ornaments. They are
abortionists, which is murder. They are thieves, stealing from the public
trough and feeding themselves on public money. White water cost the tax payers
millions. Which of the ten commandments have they not broken?
·
Thou shalt have no other Gods before Me. ( I think this
is self explanatory) These people are heathen in their beliefs who only use God
for convenience sake to get votes. they are morally deficient and godless.
Having a form of Godliness but they deny the Word thereof.
·
Thou shalt not make or worship any grave images ( Hillary’s Christmas tree was full of
heathen phallic Symbols and gods of
sexual proclivety.
·
Thou shalt not take God’s name in vain. we hear it all the time from both of their lips.
Remember the
Sabbath to keep it holy. They might go to church but then golfing or what ever
other activity they do. Adultery included.
·
Thou shalt honor thy Father and thy Mother. She never speaks of her father, and her book “It takes a
Village” denies parental rights. She has publicly called for children’s rights
to sue their parents and if the child has a gripe against the parent that a
federal judge should be called in to mediate a decision on the child’s behalf.
What her parents never gave her and what she needed was not mediation on her
behalf, but a stick on her behind.

·
Thou shalt not kill What about the millions of babies
that he is in favor of killing in the womb. He vetoed the partial birth
abortion bill where the baby can still have it’s brain sucked out even after
the baby has partially left the mothers womb. The bill would have outlawed this
homicide.
·
Thou shalt not commit adultery. Jesus said
seventy times seven, but they may be higher than that?
·
Thou shalt not steal what about the highest tax hike
in the nations history?
·
Thou shalt not bear false witness, What about the
continuous denial after denial of wrong doing.
·
Thou shalt not
covet thy neighbors wife nor his goods. High taxation, and adultery are just a
few things to name here.
Notice that
brother Branham said it is not what is on the outside that counts, but what is
on the inside. Character does matter. But look, I’ll confess what Brother
Branham said, I’m not a Republican or Democrat, I’m a Christian. And there is
no help for this nation, she is gone, she is ruined, and it came to a Women’s
nation by a woman. But let’s face it,
this nation has been preparing herself for this ruination for years. Now we are still talking about Christ
Revealed in His Own Word, but did you know that you and I are also revealed by
our own word? Jesus said, “out of the abundance of the heart the mouth
speaketh.” And when this nation
rejected this Message, she rejected Christ and salvation and the only thing now
left is the last vision which is total destruction. And just as she has prepared for her downfall, she is now
preparing for her destruction.
E-16 Preparation 53-1111 I believe that the people are in the preparation of the last great destruction
this world will ever know. I believe we're at the end. You can speak to people;
you could put a Billy Graham in every city in the United States; they'd drink
whiskey and smoke cigarettes and laugh at you and everything else just the
same. They are in the spirit of the last days. And God cannot send destruction before the people are in the spirit for
destruction. God never did destroy anything. Man always destroys himself.
77 Cruelty of Sin 53-0403 "There
is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof is the ways of
death." And every man that's
unregenerated of God, will go that way of destruction. You can't help it. Your own soul guides you. If you're
borned again, you're bound to go up. If you're not born again, you've got to go
down. Just your own soul will do it. Just like a magic wand that would open a
door or somewhere; if you haven't got the wand, the door won't open. And if
you're not borned again, you're just rejected automatically; that's all. Now...
E-56 Testimony of Raising Dead Boy 53-1203 So brother, we're
living in a terrible age. We're living in time when men ought to get right with
God, and seek God, 'cause the hour's
coming when destruction is just as sure to strike as I'm standing in this
pulpit. We are bound to get it. How
can we escape it, friends, if we're neglecting God and treating God the way we
are? How can we do it, when the folks going down through the city, and the
city officials drinking whiskey to celebrate Christmas and things like that?
How can you expect God to do anything different than to destroy places? Isn't
that right? The whole nation's polluted
everywhere. The whole world is polluted. That's right. Only one thing left,
that's the coming of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the only hope in the world
that we have. Flee to Him tonight.
133 Just One More Time Lord 63-0120E You fathers, you mothers, are you ready to establish
an altar in your house, and take that television out? Are you ready to take
that deck of cards off the table? Them
comic books that your children's reading, preparing their little mind for a
blast that the Devil's going to give them. Are you ready to establish the
old family altar again? Or do you just want to continue on the way you are? If
you want to continue on, you're not in condition of coming yet; but I pray that
you're like Samson, you see the price and you're ready, "Lord, let me die
with them." He knowed if God
answered his prayer, what was going to cost. Many people, I've seen them right
since I've been here, come up to the altar, and the Holy Spirit come to them,
and they don't want to die. They want to stay alive in the world. You can't
serve two gods at the same time. Are you ready to forsake everything to serve
God? Listen at him cry, "Lord, only this once more."
