Going Backwards

ONENESS PP. 124 - 146 <read
They wanted to go backward at the time of the first Exodus.
So let's look at the second Exodus.
ACTS 15: 1 - 11 <read>
GAL 1: 6 - 13 <read> Paul is letting you know it is not his word but God's - therefore It is vindicated by God Himself.
GAL 2: 1 - 5, 18 - 20 <read>
GAL 3: 1 - 5 <read> Evidently set forth, in other words "Vindicated". So here we sit today, approaching 193. 28 years since God's prophet Messenger went away and have we gone forward or have we gone backward or just stagnated.
I believe people today are going either backward or forward, but as Paul said, they can't just stay in the same spot. I believe the people are going backward in numbers.
Now, we believe that there are certain promises that God has given us for this hour. We are all aware of Mal 4:5-6, Luke 17:30 and Revelations 10: 1-7. But what does it all mean? Where have we gone with these? We can hardly believe enough for healing much less for a rapture.
So, tonight by the Grace of God, I would like to look at this great promise of God and see where we are at and what must happen in order for us to move forward.
EPH 1: 13 - 18 <read> Beyond Baptism.
1 COR 1: 4 - 10 <read>
2 THES 1: 7 - 12 <read> Glorified in His saints! Now we do know by nay many scriptures that God not only wants to Glorify us but He also wants to bring us into His divine Image: The word. <1 JN 3: 1-3, COL 3:4, 2 COR 3:18, ROM 12: 1-2 etc.>
So what is there about this hour that's pulling so many backward. In the desert of Sinai, it was a remembrance of the types of food they had been fond of, the garlic ad the leaks. Notice, food they would eat. Their diet. Isn't it the same thing today?
God calls us His Elect. He tells us that He has chosen us in Him.
EPH 1: 3- 4 <read> We were in Him. Who is He? The Word! JOHN 1: 1.
EK LEKTOS EK = a primary preposition denoting origin. (the point from whence motion or action proceeds) from, - out from.
LEKTOS = legos or logos. It is something that is said, more specifically it is a systematic discourse or a set discourse. It is not a disjointed word but Word that is systematic which means it comes forth out from order and in order. There must be a pattern that it comes forth from.
EPH 1: 5 - 12 <read> That we should be to the praise of His Glory, His Doxa. What then is the Doxa? It is not just the Word as if it is a mere compilation of thoughts, because even satan came to Jesus with the Word. But it is the expressed Assessment or the very Opinion of God that He holds of His own Divine purpose and being.
ISA 28: 8 <read> Why?
ISA 28: 9 - 13 <read> because they go backwards.
EX 16: 14 - 40 <read>This was the Word. The manna was Christ, the Word. He is the bread from Heaven.
2 PETER 2: 21 - 22 <read>
So we see what God thinks of even His own word taken out of season.
Even Paul had commanded those who had been baptized in John's baptism to be baptized over again, yet that was God's word for John's time only some thirty or less years earlier.
In his message "ANOINTED ONES AT THE END TIME" brother Branham said, "The buzzards don't come to the word until it is old and rotten. They can't smell it til it's rotten."
Now, let's see what God says about our moving on with the Word.
HEB 6: 1 <read> Leaving means leaving. AP= off or away from and as a prefix it usually denotes a separation or a departure. HEINI means to go. Together it means to forsake or lay aside, to let go of or to put away, to leave.
REPENTANCE is a change of the mind.
DEAD WORKS = dead, no life in them.
You must be able to move with the Word of God as He vindicates it.
1 PETER 1: 13 <read>
HEB 4: 1 - 11 <read> Now, only those who are the ELECT are also predestined to come full circle with the Word. Others can't.
JOHN 8: 37 - 38, 44 - 45 <read>
MATT 7 : 15 <read> a group who can't comprehend. Look at their nature. Outwardly they have every thing just right. But inwardly they are raveing wolves. Not just wolves but ravening wolves. Mad - fierce!
Everything that you can visually observe on the outside is OK! But it is what is on the inside that really tells. Just like Jesus said of the whited sepulcres. Clean and white on the outside but inside are full of dead men’s bones and dead, dead, dead to the Word.
You do not visually observe the word, you inwardly apprehend it, or comprehend it and know by revelation, the Word.
The scripture says, for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth shall speak.
MATT 7: 15 - 23 <read> wolves, fruit? He's speaking in parables and omly the Elect will understand.
MATT 13: 10 - 17 <read> Echo = hath = reflect
MATT 7: 17 - 18 <read> Corrupt = SAPROS rotten, to degenerate from the original value.
EX 16: The manna turned to worms
MATT 12: 30 - 39 <read> your word will justify you or condemn you.
MATT 7 : 18 <read> Good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit.
EVIL = PONEROS hurtful, evil influence, diseased. The same used in ...
1 JOHN 3: 12 <read>
JOHN 3: 19 <read>
MATT 7: 23 <read> Depart, I never knew you.You that work iniquity. They knew better but refused. Heb 6.
MATT 23: 13 <read>
ROM 1: 18 <read>
Keep from entering what? 2 PETER 1: 10 -11 <read>
MATT 24: 24 <raed> Arise = egeiro, to awaken. applies only to the sleeping. In 1 JOHN 4 he tells us that this antichrist spirit was around, but it was not yet awakened til the end time. Notice how MATT 25 follows immediately after and let's you know also that the virgins were also asleep. Then what awakens everyone? The midnight cry! It awakens all.
This false prophet spirit comes to test all but the very elect.
2 PETER 1 <read> More sure word than visions
