God seed alone will be quickened to Life and all other
Seeds will not be quickened to Life but will reject the Word for the season. Not the Word but
the True understanding of it.
God who is rich in mercy
65-0119 P:43 Look what He did, How now we can see how He promised each age a certain
thing to happen. And we find out that it happened just exactly like
it, that He said that He would do, because He's rich in His mercy to always
have mercy to fulfill every Word that He has promised. He has to do it, and
always, in order to stay God. Always He does this: His Word always comes to pass in Its season,
His seed that He has
sowed into the earth. What did He do? He put it here in the Word,
and that's a Seed. And every time the age comes along, that seed ripens
up, and then a reformation comes forth. And He promised it, and
it does that. Now, we did not deserve these things. We did not deserve
these blessings of God, because we had went out after the things of the world,
went in the error of Cain. Cain, building a nice altar and a nice church, and
putting flowers upon it, and thought that's exactly what it was; it was a bunch
of apples, or pears, or pomegranates, or whatever it was that his father and
mother had eat in the garden of Eden that run them out. And so he offered that back to God,
and God rejected it.
Psalms 1:1 Blessed is
the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the
seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree
planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth
forth his fruit in his season; his
leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever
he doeth shall prosper. 4 The
ungodly are not so: but are like the
chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall
not stand in the judgment, nor
sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Notice the
comparison we see in Psalms 1:1-6, the righteous man who is planted
like a tree near the water of Life, and the ungodly who are not.
1 John
3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth
righteousness is righteous,
even as he is righteous.
And
we see in Isaiah
45:19 that righteousness is not only doing what is right but
speaking what is right as well.
Isaiah 45:19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark
place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things
that are right.
Therefore the
only way you can be righteous is because you are born again with a righteous
Life, which is God-Life.
1 John Chapter 2
Verse 29 If ye
know that he is righteous, ye know that every
one that doeth righteousness is born of him. Therefore, you are guaranteed you cannot do what is right
if you are not born of Him.
Because after
all, 1
Corinthians 2 tells us you cannot even understand the things of God
unless you have His Spirit living in you.
1 Corinthians 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man,
save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God
knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God knows. 12 Now we
have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are
freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we
speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost
teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But
the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of
God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he
know them,
because they are spiritually discerned.
Therefore if he
cannot know the things of God then how can he possibly do the things of God.
Let me put it this way, if a man who is not born again cannot know what is
right, then how can he do that which is right. Therefore it is impossible for
him to be righteous.
And in John 3: 19-21 And this is the
condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather
than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth
the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light,
that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
1 Timothy 4: 1-2, Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that
in the latter times some shall depart from The faith,
giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in
hypocrisy; having their conscience
seared with a hot iron;
2 Thessalonians 1: 7-10 And to you who are troubled rest with us,
when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In
flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and
that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus
Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of
the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 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.
Notice, because
they know not they obey not.
In Genesis 1:11 we see the law of Life that says, every seed
must bring forth after it’s kind or nature. Therefore if we are God-Seed we must have God-life,
and will bring forth God fruit.
In John 6:63
Jesus said, “My words
are spirit and they are Life.”
Therefore, you cannot be born again by spirit only, for His words are spirit
and they are life, and show me a man who claims to be born again and denies
this word, and you will see that man fail time after time, for he is not
baptized into the body of Christ but into a temporary birth.
The apostle
Peter said in 1
Peter 1:23 “being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God that liveth
and abideth forever.”
So you see the
new birth must come by the Word of God or the birth you have will be a
corruptible one. That is why we can have 1/3 of the world’s 7 billion people,
who profess to be Christian. Yes, 1 in every three people, 2.3 billion people
today, profess to be Christian, and yet you can look far and wide to try and
find one who truly lives a life that could be deemed as Christ like. Now, I
know there are some, but very few.
And why is that?
Because we have replaced the mission minded church with mega churches. We have
replaced the Word of God with entertainment.
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power (exusia - an ability to make a right decision. And
that decision is) to become or manifest as sons of God, even to them that believe on
his name: And he further
tells us this is not something uou can do on your own, it is a God birth. 13 Which
were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man,
but of God.
The early Church
were called “Christians” by the Romans as a
vulgar term, because they were deemed to be followers of Christ, because they
were “of Christ” or "Christ like".
They lived like Christ, they spoke Like Christ, they acted Like Christ and they
were willing to die like Christ. and you cannot die like Christ until you have
died to self. Jesus had to die to Jesus before he could die for you and me.
But today, in
the churches across America, the average church members look more like
Sodomites than Christ Like.
Where is true
Holiness among the church today? The rate of Divorce among church members is no
different than it is among non church goers. How do you explain that to the
Muslim or Hindu or Buddhist? Look at the divorce rate among Japanese.
It is
interesting that 20 years ago the divorce rates in Muslim countries was so low that
they did not even show results. But today many countries are adopting western
practices, and that include divorce, and it is on the rise in every country. Muslims
in the United States have a 31% divorce rate. But places like China is still less
than 1%, and the rate of divorce
in India is about 1.3% compared
to 50% in the UK and the USA.
So the USA and
UK have the worst divorce rates in the world. Why? Israel only has 1.5% yet
America has more than 50%. So we must ask the question, Why?
I'll tell you
why, because in 1956 William Branham
prophesied that America would reject the Gospel. And that year Billy Graham,
William Branham and Oral Roberts canceled their international campaigns to
evangelize America and this nation rejected it. What's next? Deuteronomy 28
tells us to reject the Voice of God brings judgment.
And why is the
divorce rate escalating out of control? It is a sign to show that the great
divorcement is about to take place. “I used to know you as my wife but I do not know you as my
wife any longer, and God will spew her out of his mouth.”
From his
sermon Making a way 56-0304 P:12 he
said, I just feel that we haven't
got much time now. And I'll predict it. I don't say this is the Lord saying
this now, I'm predicting that this year
America will receive Christ or reject Christ. See? I believe this will be
the turning point, that America will go in. We'll have a revival in this day,
or we won't have a revival. And I
believe that this is the year that America will make it's decision.
Divine love 56-0826 P:15 When I predicted six months ago that this was the closing year for
America, and we'll see whether it is according to the Gospel or not. This is the time when she's gone. It's
either going up or down this year. That's right. Now, you young children, I
want you to bring you a piece of paper and write it in the flyleaf of your
Bible that when Brother Branham's done passed on perhaps, you see whether I was
right or wrong. See? And you'll know whether the Lord still speaks or not. See?
60 years ago we
had real Christians in this Country, and yet they rejected the Word made
manifest when it came. So where are the real Christians today?
83 percent of
Americans profess to be Christians, but I don't think they understand what a
Christian is? A Christian is someone who is Christ-like, born of the Spirit of
God by God’s Word. Peter said there are two kinds of new birth. A corruptible one by a corruptible seed, and an incorruptible one by the Word of God. Now,
what birth have you? How were you born again? What seed did you receive? Word
seed or organizational seed?
If you have
Eternal Life, then you have God’s own life living in you because there is only
one Eternal Life and that would be God’s own life. He is the great Eternal
One. And if you have a Life that is not
a reflection of His Life, then your life is not Eternal, for the law of
reproduction says in Genesis 1:11 “every seed will bring forth after it’s kind”.
Therefore if you
have Eternal Life you did not just get it, but always had it. It’s eternal, and
so then where did it come from? It had to come from God Himself, who is the
eternal One.
The problem
today is that the church Is not answering the crucial questions of life. “where
did we come from, why are we here and where are we going?”
Instead of
teaching a relationship with God as our Father and His Son Jesus as our eldest
brother and thus our Kinsman redeemer, they fill the people with a lot of
programs to keep them busy, and preach a lot of social issues which have
nothing to do with our salvation, nor anything to do with our relationship with
our Father.
But the Apostle
Paul told us where we come from in the book of Ephesians.
Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual
blessings in heavenly places in Christ: So notice now,
where do our blessings come from? From God. Where do we receive them? In
Christ.
4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, (when did he
choose you and I? Before the foundations of the world.
Where were we when he chose us? IN him!!!
We were in Him. Then if we were in Him we were
a part of him before the very creation took place. And if we were a part of
Him, and He is the Word? Then we must be a part of the Word, if we are His
Seed. For his Seed is the Word which the Son of Man
went forth sowing.)
Now, remember
Jesus told a parable of the Son of Man and how he went forth sowing seed.
In Matthew
13:36 we read, Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house:
and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares
of the field. 37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the
Son of man; 38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children
of the kingdom;
Now notice that
the seed that the son of Man sowed are said to be the children of Kingdom. In
other words, the children of God. but the tares are the children of the wicked one; 39 The enemy that sowed
them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the
angels.
Now, in the Book
of Luke Jesus also explained this parable as following: Luke 8: 9 And his disciples
asked him, saying, What might this parable be? 10 And
he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the
kingdom of God: but to others in
parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
Notice,
Jesus said He spoke in parables so that certain ones would have an
understanding but all others would not be able to understand. Now, I didn’t say
that He did.
He
also said that in Matthew 13: 10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why
speakest thou unto them in parables? 11 He
answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you
to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. 12 For
whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but
whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. 13 Therefore
speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not;
and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 14 And in them is
fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and
shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
And
again in Mark 4:
10 And when he was
alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.
11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of
the kingdom of God: but unto them
that are without, (that word without
was translated from the Greek word EXO which means on the ones on the outside.)
all these
things are done in parables: 12 That
seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not
understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their
sins should be forgiven them. 13 And he said unto
them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know
all parables? 14 The sower soweth the word.
So you see the Word of God was spoken by
Jesus in parables to confound those whom it was not meant for. Now, that may
sound strange but the evidence that you are correctly born again by the word of
God and have been quickened to Life by the Spirit of God in His Word is that when
you hear the Word of God it is alive to you, and you are alive in it.
And you see the Word for the day and
hour in which you were ordained to live.
Now, in getting back to Jesus parable in
Mark 4:11
Jesus said, Now the parable is
this: The seed is the word of God. 12 Those by the way side
are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of
their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. 13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear,
receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe,
and in time of temptation fall away. 14 And that which fell
among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked
with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no
fruit to perfection. 15 But that on the good
ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep
it, and bring forth fruit
with patience.
So you see there
are different responses that people have concerning their hearing the Word of
God just like each plant has a different response to how much sun light they
can receive. And we know that every seed has a season in which it can come to
germination. We have summer wheat and winter wheat and spring wheat etc. And there
is a seed for every season.
Now, in getting
back to what the Apostle Paul said in Ephesians we had just read where God had
chosen us in Him before the foundations of the world, and blessed us with all
spiritual blessings while we were in Christ.
Now, the only
way we could have been in him is to be in his thinking. That is what Jesus said
in his Prayer to His Father in John 17. 20 Neither
pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21 That they all may be
one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee,
that they also may be one in us: that the world may
believe that thou hast sent me. 22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have
given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
Well
what is this Glory? Because we see that this glory is what will make us one
with God as Jesus and God were one. Well that word glory was translated from
the Greek word Doxa which means the opinion, the assessment or value, and the
judgment. So we see that Jesus received God’s Values, His Opinions, and His Judgment’s
and that made Him one with His Father. And He says here that He gave to us what
God had given to Him, His Own word. And that word, those opinions, assessments,
and judgments will make us One with God and Christ even as It made the Son of
God one with His Father. )
Now, in getting
back to
Ephesians 1:4 “that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Now, notice this
next statement here. 5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by
Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, (predestinated us, What did he do? He said God
predestinated us to be adopted. Not adopted as the world knows adoption today.
But adopted according to Paul in Galatians chapter 4 is that we are
already sons, but until we have the mind of the Father we are not adoptable
or ready to be placed as sons. So you see God’s whole
purpose is to give us His
own mind, but the world doesn’t want God’s mind. He said in His own
word, “Let the
Mind that was in Christ be in You,” but they do not want the mind of
Christ. They’d rather have their own mind,
and with that they will most surely perish, for “there is a way which seems right unto man but
that way is the way of death.”
Let’s
be real plain here. It was not the prostitute nor was it the drunkard that
crucified Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The Bible tells us in Luke 23:33 “there they crucified Him”. There,
…where? Jerusalem, the most holy city in the world.
They,…Who? The Sanhedrin
council made up of Pharisees, Sadducees, Priests and the High
Priest, the most holy people on earth. Crucified,
… what? The most severe form of capital punishment, Him, the Most Holy person that ever Lived,
The Word of God made flesh in the form of God’s own Son. The very Messiah that
all Israel longed to see his day. But when he came according to the very Bible
they claimed to believe, they crucified him because he didn’t come according to
their interpretation of God’s Word. So, There, They,
Crucified, Him. So it’s the most religious people who oppose
God’s Word. Any system that places a period after what they believe stops
moving forward right there. That’s when they die right there. Spiritually.
Paul
said in Ephesians
1: 6 To the praise of the glory of his grace,
wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. There
you are. You don’t make yourself accepted. It’s not you choosing Him, it’s His
choosing you. I’ve always said the Baptists have it all backwards. They believe
it’s your choice that is your salvation.
But
what good is your choice if He did not choose you before the foundations of the
world. In John 15:16 Jesus said, Ye
have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit,
and [that] your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father
in my name, he may give it you.
Now,
we ought to stop right here and rest our case. Either this is
meant for all believers or it is not. If it is not, then
all believers are not expected to bring forth fruit, and all
believers are not entitled to ask the Father in the name of Jesus and expect to
receive what they ask for. But Jesus told us that we did
not choose Him first, He chose us, and our love toward him, and
acceptance of Him, is only in response to His choice.
In I John 4:19, we hear John tell us, "We love him, because he first
loved us." Now, either this is true or it is not. Then if
this is not true, we must rip it out of our Bible. And if this passage is in
error, then what else is in error. If we believe God wrote the Word, that His
Bible is the Un-adulterated Word of God, then we must accept what it tells us.
Scripture does not fight scripture.
In
Deuteronomy 7:6, we
read, "For thou art an holy people unto
the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above
all people that are upon the face of the earth. 7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor
choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: 8 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the
oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you
out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen,
from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
Again
we see that it was not our choosing but God's choosing that is involved here.
In
Proverbs 14:12, we read, ¶ There is a way which seemeth right
unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
This
scripture tells us that man will try to choose what seems right, or the way
that he believes to be the right way, but man's choice will always lead to the
way of death. Therefore, even in our choosing, we need a God who will watch
over our choices, and help us to make the right choice.
In
Philippians 3:15 we
read, ¶ Let
us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye
be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
In
the following scriptures we find God is actively involved with His elect.
Psalms 1:6 The Lord knoweth
(yada = to
watch over with active participation) the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall
perish. (a’bad = left to ones
self)
Psalms 37:23 The steps of a [good] man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth
in his way.
Here
we find the Hebrew word "Kuwn" used for "ordered",
and means to set up or establish, to prepare or arrange.
Therefore we see the hand of God actively involved in the steps of a good man
or righteous man.
In Proverbs 16:9 we
read, ¶ A man's heart deviseth his way:
but the LORD directeth his steps. Here
we find that although a man may contemplate and even plan his way, yet God has
the ultimate say so and will direct the very footsteps of that man. Jonah was a
classic example of this. The Lord told Him to do such and such and when Jonah
had what he thought was a better plan, God just took over the situation and
produced exactly what He intended to produce. Jonah had no choice, or at least
his choice meant nothing to what God wanted done.
In
Jeremiah 1:5 we read, Before I
formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the
womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Jeremiah could not get away from it if he
tried. For this very reason he was born.
We
also find in the book of ACTS 13:48, And when the Gentiles heard this, they
were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained
to eternal life believed.
If
we are to believe this scripture, then we must acknowledge that all who are
ordained to Eternal Life will believe. Then those who are not ordained to Life will not believe,
and there is your evidence of election.
I Corinthians 2:7 But we
speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God
ordained before the world unto our glory:
Ephesians 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of
the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to
himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Now,
if God had a word which He ordained before the world began, and if that word
was to produce Glory in a chosen people, or a people of God's
choosing, then there had to be a people in God's mind before the
world began who would at the right season believe this predestinated Word, and
receive the glory it was ordained to produce.
Now,
just as there are those who were ordained to glory and to eternal Life, we also
find those who were ordained to condemnation.
Jude 1:4 For
there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to
this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into
lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
The
Apostle Paul shoots the theory that speaks of free moral agency as the root
cause for election to pieces in Romans 9:11 For the children being not yet born, neither
having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might
stand, not of works, but of him that calleth; 12 It was said unto her, The
elder shall serve the younger. 13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. (Look, the guy didn't stand a chance top begin with, he was born
cursed, and hated.)
Then Paul says, 14 ¶What
shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness (un-right-wise-ness) with God? (and his answer is) God
forbid. 15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will
have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I
will have compassion. 16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth,
but of God that sheweth mercy. 17 For the scripture saith
unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might
shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the
earth. 18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will
he hardeneth. 19 Thou wilt say then
unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? 20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest
against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou
made me thus? 21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to
make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonor?
Paul
makes it very clear that our election is not up to you or I, but it's entirely
up to God. He even goes so far to say, So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of
God that sheweth mercy. Now, if "it is not him that willeth", then
your will and my will have nothing to do with our election at all. It is God
who either chooses to show mercy or not. Therefore, if your will has nothing to
do with your being elect, then neither does your choice for your choice is but
a reflection of your will. You will and then you choose.
Well,
let’s just continue on our reading or we will never get through. Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his
blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 8 Wherein he hath abounded
toward us in all wisdom and prudence; 9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his
good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of
times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are
in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 11 In
whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all
things after the counsel of his own will: (so
you can’t get away from the fact that God has either predestinated you or he
hasn’t. And if he hasn’t then I do not care how much you study the word of God,
you’ll never get it unless you are ordained to understand it.)
Acts
13:48 says, “as many as were ordained to Eternal Life
believed.” As many. That means either you were or you weren’t. and
if you were ordained to eternal Life you will believe, because if you were
ordained to Eternal Life you can’t help but believe. God ordained you to it.
12 That we should be to the praise of his
glory, who first trusted in Christ. 13 In whom ye also trusted,
after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom
also after that ye believed, ye were
sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, (Notice,
not when you believed, but after you believed. And you believed after you heard
the Word of truth…) 14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the
purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. (So
the word of God seals us in until the redemption of the body is complete.
There’s your season.) 15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your
faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making
mention of you in my prayers;
17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the
Father of glory, may give unto you the
spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
Now
notice here that it is God’s intension to give you the Spirit of wisdom and
revelation in the Knowledge of Himself. Why?
18
That The
eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope
of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the
saints,
