The Coming Plagues

 

Lev 26 : 21 " And if ye walk contrary unto Me, and will not hearken unto Me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins."          Let's pray.....

 

Wednesday night we read the following pp. 70 and we examined this thought in light of peoples beliefs as far as religion is concerned. This morning I would like to also examine this thought in light of the people period. Or more specifically, the person and their own nature. The unregenerate person. The one who has not been born again. And we shall contrast this to the one who has been born again.

 

 70 GOD'S.PROVIDED.PLACE.WORSHIP - SHP.LA - V-7 N-4 - 65-1128.1M

  So, you see, as long as there's something in the human heart a-calling for something, there's got to be something out there to respond, to satisfy that call.

 

Now Wednesday night we also read  pp. 71 where brother Branham used an illustration of a woman who had died. But before she did she had a craving for onions. And if she didn't eat onions, her body would have certain reactions. But to satisfy this craving and to eliminate these certain reactions, she had to eat onions. Then when she died, the autopsy revealed that a certain growth in her was calling out for onions. And when they would put pieces of onions in a dish that contained parts of the growth, the onions would be dissolved over night. So it became apparent that this growth lived off of onions. There was something in the onions, some chemical or element that sustained it's life. And then brother Branham remarks, "if there had been no onions, there would have been no growth"

 

Then he said in pp. 73 that the same thing is true for someone who has a longing in their human heart for Methodist or Baptist of Presbyterian or Catholic. In other words, there could be no Methodist church if there were no people that had a Methodist hunger. And there would be no Baptist if there were no people who had a Baptist appetite.  So we can not blame these different religions on the men who serve in the ministry of these organizations because if there were no people who had it in their heart to believe Methodist, there would be no Methodist church to serve in. If there wasn't  something in the peoples hearts calling out for Methodist or Baptist or whatever, then there wouldn't be a Methodist Church or a Baptist Church or whatever.

  Well, each church takes his... their own ideas. Some of them won't admit it, but they do it by their action. Your action speaks louder than your words. It's just a... In otherwise, they're just more of a hypocrite than the Catholic is. The Catholic confesses it right out, "I believe that this is the only thing," but they won't do that. They hide it, but their actions prove what they're thinking. See?   

 

And that is what we want to focus on today.  The people have their own ideas about  the Word of God and even about their own condition before God. They truly know their spiritual condition but they try to hide it from others, and would want you to believe other wise.

 

131  WHY?  HOT.SPRINGS.AR  V-20 N-8  63-0626

  Our number one, heart disease, doesn't, the main thing that kills the people today. It's number one, sin disease. And sin is unbelief. Unbelief in what? The Bible. That's right. Yes, it's the number-one, sin disease, that kills the people today, both spiritually and... And that'll make them kill them physically, of course, 'cause they already can prove that man that holds grudges, and women who fuss and stew, and fight and argue, they die. It'll cause cancer, fungus, everything else will set in, ulcers.  See, you were made to be happy and free. You were made to live like children before your Father, and--and know that He makes every day, everything work right for you each day. Yes, sir.

 

"Their Actions prove what they are thinking!"  That is the key. He said    "as long as there's something in the human heart a-calling for something, there's got to be something out there to respond, to satisfy that call."

 

He's talking about the inner nature calling out. He gave an illustration of a woman that had an inner life within her that was calling out for something and it caused her body to manifest this calling. It needed onions to live and so she ate onions. Now how did it get her to eat onions? It caused her body to itch in her head and other discomforts. Then when she ate onions it would not itch again for a while. So it trained her to do certain activities which she didn't normally do herself. Therefore this growth or life that was in her caused her through the manipulation of her body to become servant to it.

 

Now we have all dealt with this type of life in one form or another. And it is called evil spirits. These spirits, which are evil will look around for a vessel to enter and they begin to manipulate that vessel to do it's bidding and it's will.

 

Mark 5: 1 - 19 (read)   Notice how these evils spirits went in and took over the man and then the pigs. Just like these viruses that are abounding today. Like Ebola Zaire and Ebola Marburg and Ebola Sudan. They enter the host and then take over. They virtually take over every fiber of the persons body and transform it into a pile of rotten flesh. A hot stew of morbid blood and tissue.

 That don't mean one thing to God. It's no more than a doctor saying you got cancer, its advanced stage. And that don't have nothing to do with the disease. That's just naming it. It's a devil, cancer. If you'd say, "That's a dove. That's a buzzard. That's a... some sort of a vulture." That ain't got anything to do with what... the disease. That don't cure it. That don't kill it. Just says what it is.

 

4 HEBREWS.CHAPTER.3 - JEFF.IN - HEB 87-120 - 57-0901.1M

" There's no more Gospel that America will receive. Oh, you get a few straggling now and then; but just as the Gospel, it's over. And you can't even preach to them, can't talk to them. They won't believe nothing. See? They just  got their own hard-headed ideas, and they're set, and the next thing's for this nation is  judgment. She's going to have it, too. It may be through depression, it may be through an atomic bomb, it may be through a great plague, a disease or something; but she's ready. It's a-coming; thousands times thousands will fall."

 " One day, the Bible says, that things will break out on this earth and diseases and things, and all the people will be  plagued, till the flesh shall rot on them and so forth. But the Bible says, "Don't you come near any of those who has the Seal of God in their forehead. And the Seal of God is the baptism of the Holy Ghost."

  "We see the newspapers and the oncoming storm! When you go home tonight, do me one favor, don't go to bed till you read  Revelations the 8th chapter. You see the oncoming plagues and storms, that they'll hit the earth, and thunders and lightnings are going to shake the heavens. Woes are going to pass over the nation. Man will rot in their flesh. Diseases will strike them, the doctors knows nothing about."

 

    88 ADOPTION.OR.PLACING -- JEFF.IN -- AD.PT.4 -- 60-0522.2E

  "You think cancer's something? The Bible said there's coming a time when men will rot right in their flesh, and the buzzards will eat off of carcasses before they even die. Cancer's a toothache to what's a coming. But, remember, that horrible thing was forbidden in that day to touch those who had the Seal of God. That's what we're striving for now, to get in and be positionally placed into the Kingdom of God before these horrible plagues strike. Oh, how good! The dispensation of time, fullness of time, the inheritance. How was our inheritance given to us, through what? Predestina­tion. Predestination is foreknowledge. How did God know He could trust you to be a preacher? His foreknowledge. "Not he that willeth or he that runneth, or he... It's God that showeth mercy." That's right. Predestination, He knew what was in you. He knowed what was in you before you even come on the earth. He knowed what was in you before there was an earth for you to come on. That's--that's Him. That's the infinite God, the infinite. We're finite; we can only think finite."

  "The same thing they're doing right now. Their atomic bombs and things that these smart scientists and things will--will destroy the whole race. They got fallout right now that's just--you just burn your eyes out, give you cancer, everything. They turned enough of it loose in the ocean; they can't even find it no more. When it gets loose it'll destroy the whole world, they say. People will burn up in their own flesh. No wonder the Bible said, "And the fowls of the air will eat upon the captain's flesh," and so forth--rot from fallout and everything else."

 " How we thank Thee, that in this great hour, that when all hopes of mortal life has finished... Atomic bombs are laying in the hangers, hydrogen bombs, sickness and diseases, germ warfare... O God, and everything the way it is, knowing that the Bible said that man would actually rot in their flesh... But that Angel was given commission, "Don't you touch any of those! Don't you come near those who has the wine and the oil. Don't touch those who has the seal of God upon their forehead." And we realize that the baptism of the Holy Ghost is the seal of God. For it is written in Ephesians 4:30 "Grieve not the holy Spirit of God whereby you're sealed until the day of your redemp­tion." Lord God, seal this church tonight. Those who are wanting the seal of the Holy Spirit, kiss away every fear, Lord, and seal them with Thy Seal of the Spirit in their hearts, that they'll come forth as newborn babes, crying, "Abba, Father". Grant it, Lord. I commit them to Thee in the Name of Jesus, Thy Son."

Now,  not all spirits manifest themselves by entering into your body as some type of sickness. Some just enter in and help you in your unbelief. Some are called seducing spirit's. Now seduction is not rape. Seduction is being able to get you to do something by changing your will and making you think otherwise by deceiving you into the act.
