The Masterpiece 122

Resurrection Faith

April 7th, 2007

Brian Kocourek

 

1. This morning I would like to take some thoughts on the Resurrection since this day we have assembled to Honor the Resurrection of God’s first born Son.

 

2. 1 Thessalonians 4: 13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

 

3. Now, how can these words be a comfort to us if we do not believe them. Therefore these words are not for the unbeliever but for the believer only. And they are not for the Christian world in general but for those who follow the Pillar of fire. For these Words speak of the Lord Himself, God Almighty coming down with a Shout which is a military command, which brother Branham called the Message. And this Shout is to gather together an elect people to a Message that will get them ready for the Voice of the Resurrection.

 

4. Now, Friday night we spoke on the Faith that Jesus had to take Him from Gethsemane to the Cross. And we showed you that there is only One Faith and One Lord, so that Faith is the Revelation of that Lord, for Faith is a Revelation. It is something that has been revealed to you.

 

5. We mentioned how that many people feel we need something more because we hardly have faith for healing much less a resurrection. I showed you how the girl that brother Branham prayed for said she did not have enough faith for her healing, so brother Branham said if I can get you to believe me, then you can have faith that God will hear my prayer. And so we have a people who sit helplessly by not having learned from this Man of God that God indeed hears our prayer.

 

6. Many are waiting for brother Branham to come back so that he will teach us that something greater that will give us Rapturing Faith. But that only shows we do not believe what God has already shown us. God took one man who trusted in Him to demonstrate to the world that with God all things are possible. I believe what that man taught to be “Thus Saith the Lord.” Now if what he taught was from God and Thus, “Thus Saith the Lord,” Then we ought to believe God for not to believe God is to call Him a liar.

 

7. Now, we know that soon the Resurrection will come and whether you are ready for it or not it will happen. But I believe when it does there will be no looking back. In fact several years ago I received a dream from the Lord where I was talking with brother Branham in his home over there in Jeffersonville. I described the entire seen to  brother Vayle the time and he said that is exactly the way it was. In this dream I could feel the presence of God mightily as brother Branham came into the living room to sit down. I was the only one there but there were chairs in a circle as though more were expected. As he sat down there was silence in the room for the space of time which I do not recall but it seemed for several minutes. Then I spoke sheepishly and humbly to brother Branham and I asked him if I could ask him a question. He said, that I may. I asked him, “what will it be like at the time of the resurrection?” And He replied, “It will be like suicide.” I knew instantly that he meant it will be a time where there will be no turning back. Our minds will be made up in such a manner that there will be no second thoughts. We will be prepared to walk forward not knowing what the next step will be.” Then he asked me to greet brother Vayle, and I woke up.

 

8. Now, I believe that dream was from the Lord. My critics may not, but that does not concern me, but what he told me in that dream does. And so as Abraham was asked to start walking toward the land of Promise the Scriptures tell us that he knew not whether he was going to but he knew Who He was walking with.

 

9. Hebrews 11: 8 tells us By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.  

 

10. And if you walk in the light as He is in that Light, then you are walking with Him, and it should not make any difference where you are going. That is what Faith is all about. Walking with Him, and trusting Him. In fact the very evidence that you are believing what He has revealed to you is your walking in that revelation. Especially when no one else knows that you are obeying the hidden voice of God to you. Not hidden to you, but revealed to you what is hidden to them. 

 

11. Now, we read this morning in our text from 1 Thessalonians 4 that we will be caught up together with the resurrected saints and then we shall go together with them to meet the Lord in the air. Them that have gone on before, shall be gathered together with us, and we shall be caught up by the Trump of God and away we go to meet the Lord Jesus, the Son of God in the air, which is a higher dimension than these three dimensions that we now live in.

 

12. 1 Corinthians 15 : 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 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.

 

13. God In Simplicity - 63-0317 1M 58-5  God just speaks and the Rapture will come. It ain't going out there and them Angels come down and shovel out the grave and get out an old dead carcass here. What is it? It is born of sin to begin with - but a new one made in its likeness. If we have this, we will die again. See? Nobody can say, "The graves will open. The dead shall walk out." That may be true, but not open the way you say open. That's right. See? It won't be like that. It'll be a secret, because He said He would come like a thief in the night.

 

14. He's already told us this, the Rapture, then judgments will strike - sins, plagues, sickness, and everything. The people will cry for death to take them from the judgment. "Lord, why is this judgment upon us when You said that there would be a Rapture first?"

 

15. He will say, "It's already come, and you didn't know it." God hiding Himself in simplicity. Oh, my!

 

16. All right. "It's already happened and you knew it not." Why don't believers believe the simple signs of His coming? They're expecting all this things that's spoke of by the Scripture, and the moon is going to go down in the middle - the sun in the middle of the day, and there's going to be all kinds of things... Why don't believers believe the simple signs of His coming? They're expecting the--a--all this things that's spoke of by the Scripture, and--and the moon's going to go down in the middle of--the sun in the middle of the day, and there's going to be all kinds of things.

 

17. Oh, if we just had... I got the notes wrote here on it (See?), to show what them things are, and we'll get it on the breaking of these Seals this week anyhow. See, see? There it is, just where it's already passed and you didn't know it. See? See if it is. If the Angel of the Lord will break them Seals forth to us... Remember, it's sealed with them seven mysterious thunders. See?

 

18. Now, why can't people believe the simple simplicity of a humble bunch of people and the Voice of the signs of God? Why can't they believe it? Just like it always been. The true Word of God being made manifest. They're too smart and too educated to believe the simple form of the written Word. They want to put their own interpretation to it. "It don't mean this." "It don't mean that." It DOES mean that.

 

19. Listen. May I say this right quick now? Even the visions that God gives here at the place, it's so misunderstood. That's the reason you hear me on the tapes say, "Say what the tapes say. Say what the visions say."

 

 

 

 

20. Seven Church Ages - 54-0512  "Behold He cometh with clouds." Now, let me stop here just a moment. Clouds doesn't mean that He's coming on a big thunderhead as mama, bless her heart - she's sitting here somewhere. I remember her voice, she used to set and tell me, said, He's coming on a great big cloud, gonna raise someday and God's gonna come on.  Now the Cloud that He's coming is, if we just had the time to get this back, and get the real background and the whole thing.

 

21. Now the Cloud He's coming in is not a cloud, like a thunderhead, but it's a Cloud of Glory He's coming in. See? Now, when Jesus was overshadowed by God on Mount Transfiguration, Clouds overshadowed Him and His raiment. See? And when Elijah would come down, a cloud come down and received him up, not a not a thunderhead, but a Cloud of Glory. His great glorious Presence will strike the earth. He cometh in Clouds! Oh, I love that.

 

22. Clouds, there'll be wave after wave of His Glory will come across the earth - and the resurrection of the saints shall come. That blessed Holy Spirit that's lived in their hearts and they're dried with their corpse laying there and the pierced veins over their cheeks and things like that and they're placed back in the graveyard. A great wave of that same Spirit and a sshhewww, wave after wave - He that was last will be the first. He that was first will be last. I'm kinda see that way...that's the order of the resurrection. I won't know nobody in the generation before me or the generation after me. I'll know those in the generation with me. Every generation will come successfully right as it went down.

 

23. They which were last will be first. Sure, that's me. See? I'll know my people, the next time my dad and his people, my grandfather and his people, on down like that, wave after wave after wave after wave. And the saints will rise from everywhere. Won't that be wonderful, Amen.  That makes the old people feel young again, yes. Now notice closely, for I come to you in a Cloud, and every eye shall see Him, no matter how far back they died, they'll see Him.

 

24. Mother's Day 59-0510M 81 And as the light begins to spread we'll know as we're known; we'll understand. And we'll remember our acquaintance and the ones that's been there. And there'll be many there that we didn't even think would be there, for you know it's at that time that I believe that the bread that we have cast upon the human troubled waters will return to us, on that day. When we see the effects of our testimony on people that we didn't understand their actions towards it, will probably be there. What a day that will be! And then the seeds that we sowed not even thinking what they would do, but here they are. They brought forth precious fruits and we'll see them on that day.

 

25. Now, before we go on to talk about this coming resurrection, let me just say that when God Himself came down in this hour he did not hide Himself from mankind. The whole world knows of this coming because the Message was not performed in a corner of the world in some obscure place.

 

 

 

26. God showed Himself present to the entire world through the ministry of His end-time prophet, William Branham, and through this man,  traveled around the world seven times and in this ministry God made known His personal presence in a way which has not been seen since the Lord Jesus Christ embodied the fullness of the Godhead.

 

27. Now, many miss Him by the way that He comes, but He does come according to His Scripture. And the first time He come they missed Him because they were so indoctrinated into their own church theology that when God incarnated His only Begotten Son the very people who claimed to Worship the One and True God killed the very expression of that God when He came into His Son. He said why do you want to stone me, because I say I am the Son of God. And by saying He was the Son of God, they said He was making Himself God, but He was not. They said he was making Himself God, not Him. He only claimed to be the Son of God, and He said the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He seeth the Father doing, that doeth the Son Likewise. 

 

28. And so He was dependant upon God to show Him a vision of what was to be done or said, and He as an obedient son did whatsoever God willed for Him to do. He said, Not my will be done but the Will of Him that sent me. You see when God chooses a servant to use and declare Himself through, the people always have missed the representation of God in earth because of the vessel God has chosen. Jesus Himself said, “which one of the prophets have they not slain”. Jesus said those words himself to the most religious of the religious, the Pharisees.

 

29. Now, William Branham said “my ministry is to declare Him, that He is here. There are two things in this statement. Number one he said, “My ministry is to declare Him, that is one statement. And a declaration is a revealing by words, there fore the Shout is the Message. The second thing is he sad, “My ministry is number one, to declare Him”, and “that He is here”. So to declare the invisible to make Him visible is what the end-time ministry of the Elijah prophet was all about.

 

30. Now what if He, God is here but no one knows it. You see God is invisible, and unless there is something that strikes the vision the vision will continue to be unseen. That is enmorphe. It means something strikes the vision, making the vision visible.

 

31. So God wanting to make Himself known, made himself visible by vindicating His personal Presence. He vindicated His personal presence by performing an Epiphanaea. A Shining forth. The supernatural signs and wonders the3n declared his presence before al. Now, William Branham said the entire new Testament speaks of this hour.

 

32. There are several words I would like to cover this morning because unless you understand what God has done in this hour, unless you have heard the shout and the shout has become alive to you, you will not hear the Voice which is the resurrection.

 

33. You see the Bibles speaks of a Parousia of Christ. That is the Appearing of the Lord Jesus Christ in the form of the Pillar of Fire which is to take place before the actual 2nd Coming. 

 

34. William Branham taught that there is a difference between the Appearing and Coming, He said the Appearing is now, the Lord Himself has been Appearing in these meetings in the form of the Pillar of Fire making Himself known.

 

35. Now if you do not understand this difference then you will not understand the day in which you are living, and the ministry of God to your day.

 

36. Now, what if He appeared and no one knew it. What if God descended in His personal Presence but no one perceived what was taking place. Then that presence, would do them no good.

 

37. So God in order to show Himself Present, manifested Himself in what the Scripture calls an Epiphanea, which is shining forth. The miracles and supernatural demonstration were not the end all purpose of God in this hour, but they were a tool that GOD used to show forth His very presence among man.  

 

38. So God came down in the form of the Pillar of Fire over the Ohio River in 1933 where hundreds of people not only saw it, but the news papers declared it.

 

39. Then once God got the attention of the people he began to unveil Himself. This unveiling is known in Scripture as the great Apokolupsis, or Unveiling of God  As God then began to unveil Himself he made known to man His very nature and attributes by manifesting in His true character. That is what the Scripture calls the Phaneroo of God. And it takes this Phaneroo of God to the people for the people to manifest what they are.

 

40. John told us in 1 John 3:2  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.

 

41. Now, this making manifest in his true character brings on a certain confidence that we have in our relationship with the Father. And in 1 John 2: 28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. And this word confidence was translated from the Greek word Parrhesia which means a certain boldness in the very presence of God because we know and understand our relationship with the Father because we understand the relationship that He had with His first born Son, Jesus. And if Jesus was God’s firstborn son then that tells us that  there are other sons in this family as well. And John said we are already sons, but it just doesn’t appear to us to be so, but When God will appear, when He shall Phaneroo, when he shall declare Himself in His trueness of Character, then something happens to us that we shall not only see Him, but we shall also see or understand who we are as His sons.

 

42. And once you see Him, you can not help but to know and understand who you are and your relationship with Him. And the same God that raised up our Lord Jesus from the dead will raise up all that sleep in Christ in a very short while.

 

 

43. Now, this seeing Him as He truly is, allows us to know Him, not only with our intellectually understanding, an understanding from the mind, but we know Him in an experiential way which is the Ginosko of God that is spoken of in Scriptures. receive His very thoughts that he has for us. It means to know Him in an experiential manner as Mary had known no man yet conceived of the Holy Ghost. She had experienced in her flesh no man.

 

44. Now, once we have experienced the Presence of God in this manner and have received the Shout which is the declaration of Who He is and Why He is here, then we begin to receive the very mind of God.

 

45. Now, a son can not be adopted until he has the mind of the Father. When God took Jesus up on the Mount of Transfiguration to adopt Him, He said, “This is my Beloved son, IN Whom, I am pleased to dwell, Hear Ye Him.”

 

46. Paul told us that no man can understand the thoughts of God unless the spirit of God is in Him. So God has come to Give us of His Spirit by the receiving of his Word, which Jesus said My words are spirit and they are truth. And in receiving the Shout which is the end-time Message it brings sons into relationship with the Father as we saw in Jesus Christ the first born among many brothers as the Apostle Paul said in Romans 8.

 

47. Romans 8: 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

 

48. And the receiving the very mind of God is the Glory in which we are to glorified with as Jesus said in His Prayer to the Father and in which we see in 2 Thessalonians 1.

 

49. 2 Thessalonians 1: 10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. 11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power: 12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

50. Now, this word glorified was translated from the Greek word Doxa and it means the opinion, assessment and judgment. So you see it speaks of the very mind of God coming into the people in that hour. And notice Paul tells us that this is to come in the hour when The Gospel He preached, His testimony would be believed in that day. And William Branham told us that He only preached what Paul Preached.

 

51. So you see this is the hour that Paul’s testimony is to be believed. And now let me just say a few words about the next phase of what God is about to do.

 

52. We know that the same God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ raised up His own Son and will raise up all sons, except for those who do not sleep. And we have a promise of being raised up if we believe the God who also raised up Jesus from the dead. Now to believe this you must believe that God raised up Jesus. Jesus did not raise up Himself. There are 18 verses of Scripture that tell us that God raised up His Son Jesus.

53. Romans Chapter  4: 24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

 

54. Now, in closing I just want to read for you a few things brother Branham said about the resurrection since this is the next phase of what God is in the process of Doing, and this concerns us here because one day soon we will see our loved ones back again but this time in a young body that is commensurate with a restored body.

 

55. Mother's Day 59-0510M  86 As that great light begins to spread all - as we begin to look around, and the great circle will be getting and greater and greater; it's all just reflecting the approach of Jesus. And after while, as the song said, And I shall we see Jesus at last. He will be waiting for me,  Jesus so kind and true,  On His beautiful Throne, He'll welcome me Home  After this day is through.  Then as we see Him...and we'll not be as we are now. We'll know how to love Him more. We'll not stand back with a little fear, because we'll be like Him. He'll be more of a relative to us than He is now. We'll understand Him better, because we're so far away in the mortal bodies. Then we'll have a body like His glorious body. We'll know how to worship Him.

 

56. And when we see what the Presence of His Being has done to us, changed us, the old back young, all the deformed straightened out, oh, we'll understand then why His power healed us. The questions that's been in our mind, "How can He do it? What would this?" somehow, mysteriously, they'll all fade away. The knots that's been tied in the back of our minds, "Will it be this? How could it be?" somehow, or another, majestic fingers will just untangle, unravel those knots, and it'll all fade into the one big crown of love.

 

57. Jehovah Jireh #1 - 62-0705 And then, remember, if we go before He comes, we will be up and in His Presence, or, raised before the others are changed. "The trumpet of the Lord shall sound, the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we which alive and remain shall be changed in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, and be caught up together with them, to meet the Lord in the air." Look at the order of the resurrection. See, God knows that we long to see our loved ones. And if we got there to meet Him first, we'd be looking around to see if mother or dad and the rest of them was there. But see how, the Holy Spirit in His wisdom? We meet one another first, and then when we get there and sing "Amazing Grace," that's when there's going to be a time of worship.

 

58. Invisible Union - 65-1125 There will come forth a resurrection day which the first will be last, and they which are last will be first. The old prophets will come breaking forth first, and they see that procession going marching up in the air, and we which are alive and remain shall not hinder them which are asleep, for the Trumpet of God shall sound, the dead in Christ shall rise first, and we will fall right in line with them going in! Hallelujah! All down through the age of Luther, Wesley, Methodist, Presbyterian, on down to the last age who receive the Word in their age.

 

 

 

 

 

59. Uniting Time & Sign - 63-0818  We find that now the time comes when the Trumpet sounds, and those sleeping saints back there that could not be made perfect without us (there's many of those Hebrew brethren), and when they come together, they unite with the living ones. The Church uniting with the Word, then the Church and the Word uniting together, being come one. The dead saints with the living saints uniting together to be one; and all going together to unite with Christ yonder, for the Wedding Supper of the Lamb.  And to think of us standing, (in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, when the world won't know what's going on), but all of a sudden, you'll see appear before you, your loved ones that's gone on has come to unite with you again. And we'll be changed in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye; and be caught up, together, to meet our Lord in the air.  Let's get ready Let's get ready for this midnight cry. It's coming in a hour when you think not. There'll be a cry, not amongst the unbelieving world; it'll be a secret.

 

60. How Can I Overcome - 63-0825 1M  Sooner or later we're going to have to give each other up. But that won't hurt the rapture now. See? No. They come first then. Them are privileged that's gone on. They come first, See, we which are alive and remain to the coming of the Lord will not hinder or prevent those that are asleep. The trumpet of God shall sound, and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then when our eyes behold our loved ones, then we'll be changed in a moment in a twinkling of an eye, and with them shall be caught up together.

 

61. Going Beyond The Camp - 64-0719 2E  And you know, we'll be caught up together to meet the Lord in the air. Think of it! Missing people, they can't see you no more, but you're getting together with the rest of the group. "They which are alive and remain to the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (or `hinder,' the word is) those which are asleep." Not dead, no, Christians don't die. They're just taking a little rest (see?); that's all. Oh, my! "And the trump of God shall sound, and the dead in Christ shall rise first, appear to many.." And all at once you happen to stand and look, and "Well, there's a brother..." And you know it ain't long. In a few minutes we'll be changed in a moment in a twinkling of an eye, and together with them be missing on earth, caught up to meet the Lord in the air.

 

62. Questions & Answers - 64-0823 1M  Then you believe that Jesus Christ is that Word, and that Word is made flesh now among us, fulfilling exactly what He said He would do in this age.

 

63.  Now, the first thing happens when we're resurrected ... The ones which are a-living will just still remain ... The resurrection will set in first, the resurrection of those that are asleep. There'll be a wakening time, and those which are asleep in the dust now ... will be awakened first, and they'll - these corruptible bodies will put on incorruption in the rapturing grace of the Lord. And then we'll all get together. And when they begin to get together, then we which are alive and remain shall be changed. These mortal bodies will not see death, but just of a sudden, there'll be like a sweep go over us, and you're changed. You're turned back like Abraham was, from an old man to a young man, from an old woman to a young woman. What's this sudden change? And after while you're traveling like a thought, and you can see those then who are already resurrected. Oh, what a hour! Then we'll gather with them and then be caught up with them to meet the Lord in the air.  Yes, the Church will all be together, but after, after the resurrection and the rapture has set in.

 

64.  Questions & Answers - 64-0823 1M Now, my dear friend. See? Now, I think here that you got a good statement. Yes, sir! Yes, sir! Now, that would be so. You said, "Brother Branham..." In other words, here's what I'm... I don't think that it's... I can... I believe I... Not polishing up what you said, but I believe I can make it a little clearer to people. See? You are believing, because of the Spoken Words and things like that that He said about. And all of you here witnessed the squirrels and all these other things that's been done. But did you notice, that was Sovereignly given! I never asked Him, "Lord, let me do this, speak these things in like that, do these things there." I never asked Him that. He by His own Divine will came to me and said, "You go do this."

 

65.  Questions & Answers - 64-0823 1M  The time of the rapture will be the awakening of the dead and the get together with the living, for the rapture to take place.  And Jesus can not come until a church, a body of believers and the ministry that He once...?... will have to be the same as it was then to... And then, that brings... "Them without us is not made perfect," Paul said, Hebrews 11. "Without us they cannot be perfected." They must have this ministry to raise up the Lutheran, Wesleys, and all them down through their ages.

 

66.  Questions & Answers - 64-0823 1M  And then shall he send his angels, and ... gather together his elect from the four winds, and the utmost parts of the earth to the uttermost parts of heaven. That's talking of the resurrection, the translation, going up. He will send forth His angels to gather. Did you ever think what the angels are? Huh? Messengers. He will gather them together, congregate them together (see?), bringing them, bind them together from the utmost parts of the earth to the utmost parts of Heaven, the Word that was been made manifest on earth. See? Get it? The Word's been spoken; here It's manifested.

 

67.  Easter Seal - 65-0410  And now, if that same Spirit that was upon Him to be the Redeemer in that age, that we have accepted... Now, the promise of in this last days what would take place, if you become part of that Word, you are redeemed with Him, because the same Spirit that dwelt in Christ is dwelling in you, quickening your life to this age. And it will also in the end time quicken your mortal bodies, resurrect them, bring them up again. That takes the gloom away when we look at it in that, and that's the truth.  Romans here, Paul has proved it to us. See? "If the Spirit that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, it will also quicken your mortal bodies." This is the same Spirit that raised Him up that quickened the true believer to Eternal Life. The Spirit that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells into the believer, quickens the believer to Eternal Life.

 

68.  Rising of the Sun - 65-0418 1M  50-6And now (see?), now you are already resurrected. When God raised Him up, He raised you; the Son is just now on you. And now you're growing into a blossom Life like He was, to be resurrected completely in that last day. Your potentials you have now. Why do you know? Your soul changed, didn't it? Your body come in obedience to It, didn't it? Into obedience to what? A Church? The Word, which is the Life. Then you are now resurrected from the dead.  You potentially have the Earnest, the waiting. Now, when you get the Dynamics, you have been quickened from mortal to immortality. It makes the whole body come subject to the Word. It'll make you act different, look different, live different; It'll just make you different.  Then (notice now, as we close; notice this) notice, it's just like a little seed laying in the ground. Now, potentially, you are resurrected. You're resurrected when you receive the Holy Spirit in you; you're resurrected right then. Your body's potentially resurrected.

 

69.  Questions & Answers - 64-0823 1M   Now, the Bible said ... And if you call me a prophet, I don't say I am; but if you call me that, remember, I'm saying to you in the name of a prophet (see?) - in the name of a prophet, the resurrection and rapture will be general all over the entire world! No matter where you're at, when that hour comes, you'll be caught up to meet Him! That's all! There's nothing going to stop you, no matter where you are. And I only hope that I'm there, one of them. I just only trust and hope in God that I'll be one of them and each one of you will be in the - in the same.

I believe, maybe if the Lord permits, this is a little group of It. Maybe another little group in Asia, one down in Germany, one down somewhere else. When I seen a vision of the Bride the other night, They was made up from the international. See? So the Bride won't be gathered from one place, It'll be gathered from all over the world.

 

71. Letting Off the Pressure 62-0518  Can't you see we're at the end time? It's all over. The next thing will be a sweep of getting that little group together, and in a month or so she'll be gone - as soon as she's gathered together. We're at the end; there's no hopes left anywhere. Run to Christ, people!

 

72. I Know - 60-0417 1S  And if Job by a vision could stand so firmly upon a promise, how much more ought we to do, after Christ has raised from the dead and become the First Fruits of those that slept, and sent back the Holy Spirit as a seal of promise, upon us, that we too shall live. "Because, I live, you live also!" Seeing His great Presence among us, working, doing the same signs and wonders that He did on earth, giving us a hope. And we come to the resurrection, and then remain on our ash heaps? Let's get off the ash heap today, with a new vision, with a new Power, with a new determination that we see God in His Power. We see the resurrection of the things coming. 

 

Sow e see that we already have the promise, and therefore already have the Faith that is needed for the resurrection. All is needed is for a God’s timing and or acceptance of what He has already provided by His eternal Promise to us. That’s Ephesians 1: 3-4 Predestinated unto the adoption of Children by Jesus Christ to Himself, to the praises of His Own Will who fist Trusted in God.

 

Let’s bow our heads in prayer.
