Doubt
Breaks Unity

Doubt breaks unity. To disbelieve breaks
fellowship.
Now, look. We as human beings, not even speaking about Chris
tians. Human beings in general, we find fellowship with
those who
have the same purpose or beliefs that we do. We
find comfort in
having others around us who believe the same
things. It doesn't
matter whether you are a conservative or a liberal.
When you are
around others who think like you and talk
like you there is a
certain comfort level we receive from that.
God
is no different. He said in John 15, " If you love me
you'll
receive Me and My Words." That's fellowship.
FELLOWSHIP: Webster...companionship,
friendly association, a
mutual sharing. A group of people
with the same interests. So we
see that the word here has to do with
a togetherness, a
commonality of sorts. And believe it or not most fellowship is
involved around principles.
Look at the Right to Lifers. They gather together around a
cer
tain
principle, and so do abortion rights people. Wars
are not
fought over real estate as much as over
principles. Principles
are what control us whether we believe in God or not.
And without
principles there can be no control. Complete anarchy
is all that
would result.
So you
see, when brother Branham said, that the minute
you
disbelieve God's Word you break fellowship with
Him. remember,
Jesus said, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he" and He
also said, "For out of the heart the mouth
speaketh."
So you
can see the importance of what we say and how it affects
our fellowship. A husband that throws slams at his
wife or a wife
that throws slams at her husband, it only ends
in a broken fel
lowship. A broken harmony. So it shouldn't ever be done. Now as
human being we make our share of mistakes. I'll be the
first one
to admit that. The scripture tells me that I was
born by sexual
desire, therefore it also says, I
"was born in sin, shaped in
iniquity and came to this world speaking lies."
Now, that's nothing to brag about, but so did you, so we
are in
the same boat together. And as brother Bosworth
used to say,
Fellowship is two fellows in the same ship. In other words,
they
have a lot in common. With every wave that beats upon that boat,
they feel the same pain, the same fear.
With every ray of sun
that beats down upon them they feel the
same thirst. They are
together, Live..die..sink..or swim. Together. And I believe that
is the way the Bride of Christ is tonight. We
are in this thing
together with Christ as head of our homes and His
divine presence
in full control of our ship. Where He goes we
go, what He says,
we say, what we see Him do we do. Oneness.
And
when He departs from this earth we shall leave with Him.
2 Thes 2 : 7 Wuest
" Only He (The Holy Spirit) who is holding (the
lawlessness)
down, (will do so) until He goes out
from the midst (of
humanity).
Now
we see that He has come down as we read in 1 Thes 4: 16 with
a shout, voice and trumpet. And during this time of His Presence
among us we know thoroughly by many infutable
scriptures and by a
vindicated
prophet, that He is here to
gather in His elect into
the fellowship of His Son. He has come as the Spirit of Wisdom
and Revelation in the Knowledge of the Father and thus by
this
knowledge that He is giving to us through His end time message
he
is restoring the hearts of His children back to the
fellowship we
had in Him before the foundations of the world.
1
THES 4: 15 - 18...
Ephesians
1: 3 - 4...
Now this fellowship comes, or shall we say is restored by His
Word.
1
JOHN 1: 1-3 ...
This Word brings forth His Life because Jesus said in JOHN 6:63
"My Words are Spirit and they are
Life."
We
see in Romans that we are to receive our transformation by the
renewing of our minds.
ROMANS 12: 1 - 2...
This transformation is to come because we begin to see just Who
it is that has come down. 1 JOHN 3: 2 ...1 COR
We
see that we were called to the fellowship of His dear Son,
so
therefore He has come down to reveal to us what He revealed
to
Jesus His Only Begotten
Son. 1 COR 1: 8 - 10...
Now,
we see here by this scripture that in order to maintain
the
fellowship that He has called us to we must all say
the same
thing. And what is it we must say...
1
JOHN 1: 7...
Jesus
said in His Word to us
"If you confess me before man then
I'll confess you before my Father".
This Word confess is the
Greek Word HOMO-LOGOS which means to say
the same thing.
So in
looking at brother Branham's statement, we
see that
fellowship is based upon having the same
confession. Saying the
same thing. Believing the same thing.
That is why John said "try
the spirits". Give them the Word test.
If
they don't say what this Bible says, then don't believe
them.
Didn't Jesus say to the Apostles after His own resurrection
and
after He appeared to them and found them in unbelief, " O
fools
and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have
spoken."
We
must believe all to enter into Divine fellowship with Him.
Well, you say, I'm only human, how can I be expected to
believe
all that He said, I don't even know all that He said.
Well, first of all believe all of what you do know, and
then go
find out what He has said. Jesus said, "If
we be any otherwise
minded, God would reveal it unto us"
Deut
29: 29 ...And in this hour we find that God Himself has come
down and has opened the Seals and with it the entire Book
has
been revealed. So it is all for our taking. The things revealed
belong unto us.
James 1: 2 - 8, 13 - 15
Now you just can't afford to waver. If God said it, He alone
is
obligated to bring it to pass. ECCL 3: 14 - 15
Romans 14: 23
4.
To lay aside or question God's Word shows nature is not the
same. Separates us from His Presence and fellowship. pp. 36

Satan will offer anything to distract. Anything contrary to
God's vindicated Word is Satan's kingdom. pp.
