Rising of the Son No 31
The wave sheaf was the first Son that come to
maturity
January 8, 2017
Brian Kocourek, Pastor
This morning we will continue in our study of brother Branham's sermon The Rising of the
Sun (Son). We will pick up at paragraph 33 and read.
33 A Easter
morning, not only did He raise, but His beneficiaries raised with Him.
They were in Christ
at His crucifixion; they were in Him at His resurrection. We are
His beneficiaries, quickened after being dead in darkness, in a darkened world
of unbelief, where churches, and denominations, and so forth had drawn us out;
and there's something in us calling, "Oh, we want God; we're
hungering and thirsting for God." We join the Methodist, Baptist,
Pentecostals, Presbyterians, and what-more, and still there was something
wrong. We just couldn't find it yet. And all of a sudden, while we was groping
in darkness, the
great resurrection came to us in the manifestation of the promised Word of God,
like He was the manifestation of the promise Word of God. "I will not leave His soul in hell, neither
will I suffer my holy One to see corruption." He manifested it, every Word of
God that was promised to Him; He proved it when He raised on the Easter
morning.
34 Now, them
who were once groping in darkness and wondering around: if they should wash
feet on this day, or if they should keep a certain day, or do a certain set of
rules, all those
things passed away. (in other
words the intellectual mental gymnastics all dies right there,) For there was a
glorious resurrection that defied
every manmade thing that man had ever done, every manmade reason.
There had never been to that time a man that could lay his life down and pick
it up again. He defied that scientific proof they had by raising again.
What brother Branham is telling us here is that when
you are born of God, you come to the place where you only want God and what God
wants for you, and you no longer have any desire for the things of man.
Then brother Branham continues, 35 When they say
that Jesus Christ isn't the same yesterday, today, and forever; that His power
isn't the same; that His Gospel isn't the same, when the Bible says It's the
same; God defied every denomination, every creed, and He moved forth in His Holy
Spirit as He promised, and proved it to us that He is alive. We are the benefactors of His
resurrection, quickened after being dead in the world in sin and
trespasses; He has
quickened us together with
Him, raised with Him, now setting in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
His Spirit brings
His same Life again on the earth. If the Spirit of God that
raised up Christ, the body, the anointed body, if the Spirit of God anointed
that body in such a way that when that Seed fell into the earth, He just
wouldn't let Him rest there. No, He quickened Him and raised Him up; that same
Spirit by the same works, by the same power, by the same signs, be in you, It'll also
raise you up.
What he is
telling us here is three fold. First he says it is by that same Spirit. For
Paul said first of all in " Ephesians 2:18 For through him we both (Jesus and us) have access by one Spirit unto the Father. So
it is through Him shedding His own Spirit Life on Calvary that through this
same Spirit Life we have access unto the Father.
And then Paul says in 1 Corinthians 12:13
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles,
whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one
Spirit.
So brother
Branham begins with saying, ; that same
Spirit by the same works, by the same power, by the same signs, be in you, It'll also
raise you up.
Notice, the
same Spirit brings with it the same works by the same power and the same signs
that were in Him are in you. How? By the same Spirit. So what he is telling us
here is that the same Spirit brings the same works, and brings the same power,
and brings the same signs and by that same Spirit will also raise you up as it raised
him up. So we are dealing with the same Life, God-Life.
Now, let's continue at paragraph 36 I'd like to
read a little Scripture here for you. I'd like for you to turn to another
Scripture I got wrote down here. It might help you a little. It's found in the Book
of Leviticus the 23rd chapter, the 9th to
the 11th verse. Listen close, in the law, Levitical law, God speaking to
Moses. Listen. All these things are types now, and we'll stop here for a few
moments to get into this type. 9"And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When
you come into the land which I give unto you, (unto
the place,
the position
that I have given unto you. Now, you speak to the children of Israel, that when
you get to this certain
place that I've promised you I'd take you, when you get there
in this land... (when you have come to the place of my promise for
the age in which you life) Now, speaking natural here, typing the spiritual) and shall reap the harvest thereof, (you have received what I told you) thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the first-fruits of
your harvest unto the priest: 11 And he shall
wave the sheaf before the Lord, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath
the priest shall wave it."
37 If there would be any holy ritual, it should
come forth on the
sabbath day, which was the seventh day of the week, which is
Saturday. But did you notice in this memorial, to wave it on the
first day of the week. The sheaf, which was the first
of your seed that you planted, when it comes up and ripens, you
cut down this sheaf and take it to the priest, and let him take it and wave
it before the Lord for your acceptation, that you are accepted. You have come
with your sheaf, and he's to wave it before the Lord on, not on the sabbath, the seventh day,
but on the first day,
which we call Sunday, S-u-n-d-a-y. 'Course, that's a Roman word, which they
called it the Sunday for the sun gods. But how it is changed. It's not s-u-n
anymore; it's a S-o-n-d-a-y,
the Sonday
that that Corn of wheat, God's first One up from the dead, is to be waved over the
congregation that we are His seed; and that's the first of the Seed of
those that slept, waved upon the first day of the week. On Sunday, He
raised up, waved good-bye, and ascended up on high in the presence of the
people.
38 Notice,
It was the first
Corn of God's wheat that had been raised from the dead: God's
first Corn of wheat, by God's Quickening power. God had quickened His life, raised Him up from the
dead, and He
was the First-fruits of those that slept, the First-fruit. He
was that Sheaf; that's why they had to wave that sheaf, for it was the first
One that come to maturity. And it was waved as a memorial of
thanksgiving to God, believing that the rest of them would come. And it was a sign. And
today, because He
was the first Son of God to come to full maturity to be in God, He was plucked up from the earth
and is waved over the people (Oh, what a glorious lesson.) by the Quickening power.
Have you ever thought what first fruit means? We might also call it the first born, since the first fruit is the first seed
that has come
to maturity. Because that is exactly what Brother Branham
taught.
Brother Branham continues in paragraph 39 "The first One...
Although He'd been typed in many times, as we'll see later that He was typed,
but this is really the
First-fruit of them that slept. He was waved over the
promised seed that had promise
of Life; He was waved at the day of Pentecost,
when there came a sound from heaven like a waving, mighty, rushing wind, and
was waved over the people, the Pentecostal people that was up at Pentecost
waiting for the blessing to come; and to be waved again, we realize, in the last day,
according to Luke 17:30, in the Sonday again, in the days that the S-o-n of man will
be revealed or waved
again over the people.
Notice he said, "in the Sonday
again, in the days that the S-o-n of man will be revealed or waved again over the
people.
Notice he said "waved again."
The Same Son of Man Spirit that was in the Son of God has come back in this hour and has waved Himself over the people in the
form of the same Word that was back in the beginning in the Son of Man ..
Questions and answers COD
64-0823E P:52 291. Some say Brother Branham is the Son of man. I thought
the Pillar of Fire was the Son of man. Am I mistaken? Well, that's a good
question, very good. But I am not the Son of man, but a son of man.
There's quite a difference. Jesus Christ was the Son of man, the Son of God,
the Son of man, the Son of David.
Notice brother Branham lets us know right straight that he is not The Son
of Man, but a son of man revealing The Son of Man which is "Christ the
Word". The Same Christ, the same Anointing that was in the first born Son,
the same Anointing that was in The Logos that came out of God, the same
Anointed Word.
And as we continue in this sermon Rising of
the Sun (Son), brother Branham says, 40 Now, Who is
this Son of man? "In the beginning
was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt
among us." And of all the teaching that we
have and confirmation of the Word of God, by Word of God,
by signs, by wonders, we see today (that in the
Book of Luke here, that as we just quoted from Luke the 17th chapter and 30th verse, and Malachi 4, and the different Scriptures that we are acquainted with,)
that that Word again is waved over the people, that the dead
traditions of man is dead and the Son of God is alive again with the baptism of the Holy
Spirit right among us and is giving us Life.
Notice it is all about imparting Life. He said, "the Son
of God is alive again with the baptism of the
Holy Spirit right among us and is giving us Life.
1 John
5:11-12 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He that hath(echoes) the Son hath (echoes) life; and he that hath (echoes) not the Son of God
hath (echoes) not life.
That is John 5:26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have
life in himself;
We must also
read in 1 John
1: 1-4 that this life was invisible as all life is invisible, but this
Life became visible and we've been able to see it and thus we can declare what
we have seen.
1 John 1:1-4 "That which was from the beginning,
which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked
upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; 2 (For the life
was manifested, (became visible
in all its attributes and characteristics) and we have seen it, and bear
witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, (that's John 5:26) and was manifested
unto us;)
3 That which we have seen and heard
declare we unto you, that ye also may have
fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is
with the Father, and with his Son
Jesus Christ. 4 And
these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
Notice we read
also in John 1:
14 we read, "and the Word (remember,
Jesus told us in John 6:63 "My Words are spirit and they are Life." And so
this Word which is the very essence of God Life) was made flesh
(became from invisible to visible) and dwelt among us."
Therefore if you will notice we are
dealing with God-Life. And then if it was God-Life which was imparted into His Only
Begotten Son, then It would have to be the same God-Life
which is also imparted to all of God's Sons.
Now as we examine this God-Life, let's go back to the very beginning
of the Book of Beginnings. We begin by watching the
Spirit of God hover over the earth and we first hear Him speak
in Genesis 1:3-9.
The first time He speaks, we see light coming forth, , that
takes place in verse 3.
1 In the beginning God created the heaven
and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and
darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the
Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw
the light, that it was good: and God divided the
light from the darkness. 5 And
God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and
the morning were the first day.
And we know that Light is the Son of God
since the sun and moon and stars are not created until verse 14.
From brother Branham in his sermon Attitude And Who
Is God? 50-0815 018 There He puts the first Bible. Oh, back in the days of--
ancient days, they looked at those things. Today, He's got His Bible wrote
here. But He wrote It in the heavens, that man would look up and realize that
Jehovah the Creator lived above. And then I can see Him, He looked at that...I
can see Him speak to this world hanging there as an icicle, whatever it was,
way away. And He moved it over here. I can see this little Light go out. Now, we got two now. The Father, and out of the
Father came the Light, the Son.
So we see that the first time God spoke,
His Word brought forth the Son of God as the Light. And of course the Son of God is called in Scripture,
"the Light of the World".
John 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the
light of the world.
Again we hear Jesus
tells us in John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not
walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life
In fact Jesus Himself tells us that he
is the Light of the world, but whoever follows him
shall have the Light of Life. Then he tells us in Matthew 5 we
are the light of the world. Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set
on an hill cannot be hid.
We also know that light is an essential
element needed to sustain Life. And in getting back to Genesis 1, The next time we hear God
speak it has to do with water.
Water also is a needed element to sustain Life. After He speaks of light and
water, He then speaks of Life itself
and He establishes the law of Life or the law of reproduction in verse 11.
We now see all the elements needed to
bring forth and sustain life. Light, Water and a carrier of Life, called a
seed. And God planted every seed in the earth at this time by speaking His Word
as we again see in 2 Peter 3:5-7 where Peter tells us God did all
this by His Word.
2 Peter 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of,
that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of
the water and in the water: 6 Whereby
the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7 But
the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word
are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition
of ungodly men.
Blasphemous Names 62-1104M 33-3 The Church is the mystical Body of
Christ, born of the breath of God.
Did you get it? The Church of God is born of the breath of God. God breathed breath into the
nostrils, spiritually, of Adam, and he became a living soul.
Did you know the Pentecostals, or the true Pentecostal Church is born of the breath of God? Let me read you
something just a minute, just on that. Let me see just a minute. St. John, I believe, is where I'm going to,
and we'll find out whether the Church of God is or not. St. John...
Let's see, I believe that's about 16,
19, 20. All right, Here, I believe we'll have it right here. All
right. Let me read you and see whether the
Church is born of the breath of God or not, like Adam was in the beginning.
Watch. "And the same day at evening,
being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut and the disciples
were assembled for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst of them, and said unto them,
Peace be unto you. And when he had so said, he shewed... them his hands and his
side. Were... Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord, And Jesus- -And
then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father has sent me,...
so send I you. Watch. The Father that sent Him went
in Him. And Jesus, when He sends a disciple, He goes in him. Same one
sent...?... And when he had said this, he breathed on them,
and said... Receive ye the Holy Ghost:..."
(Church born of the breath of God.)
34-1
When this statue is molded itself up there in a condition, God's breath
breathes upon them, "Receive the Holy Ghost."
Then you are a son of God. You can
join anything you want to, but you're born into the Church of the living God, born by the breath of God. God breathed upon them and said,
"Receive ye
[Brother Branham makes a breathing sound--Ed.] the Holy Ghost." Oh, my, there you are. Not
"Come and join, put your name on there," and with your soup suppers
and all that goes with it. You join a lodge. You can join a Methodist lodge,
Baptist lodge, Presbyterian lodge, Catholic lodge, or a Pentecostal lodge,
anything you want to join, but you're joining a lodge. But when you become
a child of God, you're born by the breath of God. Amen. Better
leave it alone right there now. All right.
34-2
God's Life is also then in you.
Jesus said (just a minute)--Jesus said, "I am the Vine; ye are the branch."
Now look. What was their fuss with Jesus? Their fuss with Jesus, because He was
a Man making Himself God. He was God. God was in Christ. See? And He told them; He said,
"Don't look at Me. It's not Me;
it's My Father, and He dwells in Me."
See? Now, they was looking at that little body that was born of Mary. See? That wasn't God; that was the Son of God, but God was in that body.
It was God. He said, "If I
do not the works of My Father then condemn Me. But which one of you can condemn
Me of sin (unbelief of the Word)?
Which word has God spoke that hasn't been fulfilled in Me? (Sin is
unbelief.) Which one of you accuse Me of
sin? (Sin is unbelief.) Show Me. If I do not the works of My Father, then don't believe Me. But if I
do the works of My... though you can't believe Me, believe the works that I do for
they testify." Otherwise, "The Father's in Me,
testifying of Himself," 'cause God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself.
You get it? Well now, the same life that's in the vine
is also in the branch. How are you going to join in that? You
can't.
41 As Christ was the first One to raise from all the
prophets and so forth (although typed in many places, He was the Firstfruits of those that slept), in the Bride
coming of Christ, coming out of the church, there'll have to be a Sheaf
waved again in the last days. Oh, my. Waving of the sheaf, what was the
sheaf? The first one
that come to mature, the first one that proved it was a wheat
that proved it was a sheaf. Hallelujah. I'm sure you see what I'm talking
about. It was waved over the people, and the first time there will come
forth for the Bride age, for a resurrection out of dark
denominationalism, will
be a Message that the full maturity of the Word has turned back again in Its
full power and being waved over the people by the same signs and
wonders that He did back there.
42 "Because I live, ye live also," speaking to His Wife. "Because I live, ye live also." What a
resurrection that that was. And what a resurrection this is: to
be quickened from the dead, to
be made alive in Christ Jesus by God's Quickening Power. He was
waved to them; the
Word, which He was, was waved back to them on the day
of Pentecost, the Word made manifest. Now... And as I say, He's to be
waved again in the last day.
43 Now, for
instance, you say, "Well now, wait a minute, Brother Branham. I know a
church that..." Well, I do too. See? But now, for instance, what if we
were going to go back to Tucson this afternoon, now, and each one of us was
going to go in a big Cadillac, brand new; and all of the seats were made out of
doeskin (softest of the leather, soft and easy to set in); and the floorboards
was plush; the steering wheel were nickel-plated and had diamond studs all over
it; and the engine was mechanically tested to be exactly the right engine; and
the wheels all had bearings and greased up; and the tires were all
puncture-proof and blow-out free, that all had been tested scientifically. They
had been pushed off the assembly line, both of them, and both of them filled up
with gasoline. That's the running power, the gasoline, because in it is the
octane. But now, when you're going to start them, although both of them look
just alike, but there's one of them don't have any spark, any firing power. "Well,"
you say, "the power is in the gasoline, Brother Branham." But I don't
care how much power is in the gasoline, unless there's a spark there to manifest that power,
unless there's a power there to confirm that that's gasoline, it just might
as well be water.
44 Until... No matter how much theologians claim,
how well you got your church set, how much education you got, how much like the
Bible, until that wave Sheaf, until the Holy Spirit comes upon
that person to quicken that Word (The gasoline represents the Word;
It's the Truth.); but without the Spirit it won't move. We've put too much stress on the
mechanics and nothing on the dynamics. It needs the dynamic power of
God, the
resurrection power of Jesus Christ upon the church to manifest and to bring to
pass that this is gasoline. It might be in a gasoline can; it
could still be water. See? But the only proof of it is put the Life on it, and it'll prove
whether it's gasoline or not.
45 And when you try to put the Holy Spirit in a
denomination, you're as much as trying... You can get a splutter; you'll ruin
your engine by getting it full of carbon. But oh, I'm so glad that there is a
ten thousand octane power, the Word of God and the Holy Ghost to light It up and to resurrect the
power of God into a man's life, or a woman's life, or into a
church, that shoved that Cadillac down the road yonder under dynamic power of
the Holy Ghost, which came back and was waved over the people at the day of
Pentecost, making Him the same yesterday, today, and forever.
46 There was the first Sheaf come up from all the
prophets which was the Son of God, the King of all prophets. There
has been churches, churches, brides, brides, churches, brides, brides, but
there's got to come One. Hallelujah. There has to come a real Bride. There must come One that's not
only got the mechanics, but the Dynamics of It, makes that church live, move in
the power of His resurrection. Until we come to that
place, until we find that place, what good does it do to polish the
hubs? What good does it do to give her a face-lift or a simonize job, when
there's no Dynamics in it? No matter how much the mechanics prove to be right, there's got to be a
Dynamics to make it work. That's what He proved. Hallelujah.
That's what Easter proved. He wasn't only the Word, but He was God Himself,
the Dynamics in the Word, that made the body of Jesus Christ, cold, stiff,
and dead in the grave, shake
into Life and rise again, and roll away the stone.
47 "I am He that was dead," so dead till the sun said He was
dead; the moon said He was dead; the stars said He was dead; all nature said He
was dead. And now, the whole world has to recognize that He's alive again.
He was not only the Mechanics (God's Word), He was the Dynamics to prove It. And if
He, being the Groom,
the Bride has to come forth, 'cause It's part of Him. And It can only be the manifestation
of the fulfilling of all of revelations and the others that spoke of the Bride.
And It can only
manifest... And if it does something different from the
Groom, it isn't the Bride, because She's flesh of His flesh, bone of
His bone, Life of His Life, power of His power. She is Him. As man and woman are
one, and woman taken from his side, She has taken His Spirit (the
feminish Spirit from Him), the flesh from His side, made both mechanics and Dynamics,
the Wife, the Spirit of Him and the flesh of Him and put it together and made
mechanics and Dynamics.
48 Until the church or the people... All these
Easter bunnies, and ceremonies, and big churches, and finery will fail and pass
away, until that
church becomes both Dynamics and Mechanics, and the Spirit of God that moved Him
to do the things that He did, if He hit on sixteen cylinders, so will the Bride.
Amen. For He said in John 14:12, "He that believeth on Me, the works that I
do shall he do also, I'll give him a charge of My Dynamics in his mechanics,
that the world will not be able to withstand it, and I'll raise him up again at the last
day."That's
the Easter message: the Dynamics and the mechanics together. The mechanics without the
Dynamics, no good; neither is the Dynamics without the mechanics.
You can scream and shout and jump up and down all you want to, and deny this
Word; it won't do any good. You're just cranking around the pistons got spark
there to fire, but no gasoline to fire it by. It'll only work as they come together.
Amen. So one will set still and the other one'll go up; that's
the only thing there is to it. Yet they both might look like, both claim
to be churches, both claim to be brides, but one has mechanics and Dynamics.
It brings it to pass.
But what He said is the Truth. It just won't move, no matter how good the
mechanics is, until the Dynamics come. When the Dynamics come, that Fire
is made to connect with that octane in the gasoline. And when that explodes it,
it causes a combustion, and that combustion moves every motion, every move,
for He is the same yesterday, today, and
forever. That's the resurrection; that's the real power of
God: mechanics with the Dynamics.
Brother Branham said something very similar in his
sermon God's provided place of worship 65-0425 P:47 "And that's
what's the matter with the church today. We're full of theology, without any dynamics in it. That's right.
See? In other words, you've got to have the spark to the gasoline, or the
gasoline is not even as good as water, as long as it hasn't got the spark to
fire it. So that's the way. No matter how well we're taught, how well we'll believe, and how
much of the Bible that we say is true, and we believe it all
true; it's got to be
the dynamics has
got to be there, the spark, to set that Word afire and make it
start rolling. It's got to have that. If you don't, the church sets still, the
car sets still, you'll set still. But no matter how much you say, "I
sympathize. I believe every Word of That." You've got to have something
to spark that off to make that one hundred octane go to firing, and the big
Church of God go to moving on. It's got to take the dynamics with the mechanics. Nothing wrong with the
mechanics, but lacking dynamics. And I think that's what's the matter
with the church today; we're lacking that dynamical power to press this Word and
make It live for this day. "
Now, back to Rising of the Son pp. 49 Notice. It's
the Spirit that quickens; It's the spark that fires. It's not the gas that
fires; it's the spark that fires the gas. See? "You can do nothing without Me, but with Me you can do all
things. As (He is the Word; It's the Father
living) Father sent Me, so send I you. As the Father has fired Me and pushed Me into everything, I do only that which is pleasing to God. Now, as He sent Me, so
send I you with this same mechanics. And it
takes the same Dynamics to operate it. And these
signs shall follow them that claim to have the mechanics. The Dynamics will take its
place."
50 Paul
said, "The
Gospel came to us not in word only (through gasoline only), but through spark also to make It move." There
you are. It came to us in that manner. It's the same Spirit that raised Him
up that quickened the true believer to Eternal Life. Now, remember,
potentially now, watch (as we are getting out of our time). Notice, the same
Spirit... Now, Romans
8:1... Now, let's just read that again in Romans 8:1, and we'll see what that says. All right. And not Romans--I
mean 8:11, I'm sorry: in
Romans 8:11 now... But if... (There's the
problem; there's this catch.) But if the Spirit of him... (God, the Holy Spirit)... that
raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you,...
Now, there you are: if the Bridegroom's Spirit dwells in
the Bride.
Now, this takes us full circle to what brother Branham began with where he
was looking at
Leviticus 23:9-12 Where Christ was a type of the wave sheaf offering, and
I would like to take the last few minutes of this study to examine closer his words
where he said, The sheaf, which was
the first of your seed that you planted, when it comes up and ripens, you cut down this
sheaf and take it to the priest, and let him take it and wave it before the
Lord for your acceptation, that you are accepted.
That is why it is waved over the people. The first Son to come to full maturity,
His Life, His Spirit was pulled from His Body, and waved over the people that we
also might receive inheritance as fully mature sons and daughters of God.
God's
first One up from the dead, is to be waved over the congregation that we are His
seed; and that's the first of the Seed of those that slept,
Notice these most beautiful words here in paragraph
38 Notice,
It was the first
Corn of God's wheat that had been raised from the dead: God's
first Corn of wheat, by God's Quickening power. God had quickened His life, raised Him up from the
dead, and He
was the First-fruits of those that slept,
the First-fruit. He was that Sheaf; that's why they
had to wave that sheaf, for it was the first One that come to maturity. And it
was waved as a memorial of thanksgiving to God, believing that the rest of them would come.
And it was a sign. And today, because He was the first Son of God to come to full
maturity to be in God, He was plucked up from the earth and is waved over the
people (Oh, what a glorious lesson.) by the Quickening power.
Look, God didn't separate that Spirit from His Son while he was young and
not fully mature. But God waited until that Spirit had matured in that spoken Word
Body, and then when that Spirit was fully Mature, then God took from His body to
bring that same mature Spirit back upon other sons. That is the purpose of the wave
sheaf, waving it over the people showing that God accepted that Spirit, that life,
God has already accepted that and it was waved as an offering to God. He said, "When I be lifted up I
will draw all men, to me", "When I am lifted up as a wave sheaf offering
unto the Lord, I will draw all my brothers
and sisters to me". And God sent back that same Spirit and is proving
it by the very same works that He did being done in you, and the very same signs
that he performed being performed in you, showing it's the same Spirit, the very
same Life.
And
if God accepted that Life in him, and brought him up to the mountain and before
witnesses adopted His Son, and placed him, and said I have placed my Word in Him,
"Hear ye Him", then he must do the same in the Omega because the Alpha
must become Omega. And he has shown us the same in this hour to be the same and
he changes not, he took another son of man, not "The Son of Man", but
"a son of man" who came to reveal "The Son of Man", And the
same God that took up His first born up to the mountain and placed his Word in Him,
has in this hour taken another son up to the mountain in this Omega season and placed
the Sword of His Word in his hand. Adoption time, the placing of sons. And so that
son also was taken from us that we as the rest of the sons might step into our son-ship
and realize that "if the Same Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell
in us, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken our mortal bodies
by His Spirit that dwelleth in us. "for it was the
first One that come to maturity. And it was waved as
a memorial of thanksgiving to God, believing that the rest of them would come.
And it was a sign. And today, because He was the first Son of God to come to full
maturity to be in God, He was plucked up from the earth and is waved over the
people (Oh, what a glorious lesson.) by the Quickening power.
Let us pray...
