Brian Kocourek, Pastor
John
5:26 For as the Father hath
life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
Hebrews 9:14 How
much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered
himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the
living God?
Let us pray, ...
We have been studying paragraph 29
of brother Branham's sermon, The Rising of the Son for
the past 3 services, but before we go further into our reading, let's look again
at brother Branham's thoughts here as we read again paragraph 29 where I wish to take our thoughts from this
evening. 29 "We, as beneficiaries, are to prove
His Life is in us now, the beneficiaries of this Life. The Life... There never was a life lived
like it; He was
the Son of God. And He died and that shut it out; but when He raised again from the
dead on Easter morning, then we, as His servants, are
commissioned by Him to go into all the world and to bring this good news to
every person: that He is a-living. And how can we do it by word only? For it is
written, "The Gospel came not by word only,
but through the power and the manifestation of the Holy Spirit to prove that He
is alive."
Notice that brother Branham is talking
about the Life that was in the first born Son, and that same life that was
passed down to us through the shedding of that Sons life through his blood.
what I would like to do this evening is take it to the next step and examine
the blood, and the Life in the Blood, and then into the nature and
characteristics of that Life which is found in the DNA. Not the chemistry of
the DNA but the law that governs the DNA strand of characteristics. The Law Of
Life which is found in Genesis 1:11 "every seed after its kind".
In Hebrews 9:20
we read, "Saying, This is the
blood of the testament which God hath enjoined
unto you.
Now, this word enjoined means "to order someone to do something; urge strongly; command,
to set as a goal or
purpose for you. " So we see that the blood of the testament is
a purpose or goal that God has purposefully set for us as His sons.
Therefore,
let's begin our study this evening by looking at this fact that Jesus Christ
the Son of God was brought forth as the very blood of God.
Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and
to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to
feed the church of God, which he hath purchased
with his own blood.
Notice
the Apostle Paul speaks of the blood of God is that which purchased the church.
The
Wuest
Translation calls this blood of God "His very own
unique blood".
28 be constantly maintaining a careful watch
over yourselves with a view to guarding yourselves, also do the same with
respect to all the flock in which the Holy Spirit appointed you as spiritual
overseers, shepherding the Church of God which He bought for Himself through
the agency of the Blood, the blood which is His own
unique blood, possessed by Himself alone.
In his sermon,
Possessing gate of the enemy 64-0322 P:19 brother
Branham says concerning this blood, "Now, but when Jesus, the Son of God, virgin born, shed His Blood, the Life that was
in that Blood was God
Itself. The Bible said we are
saved by the Life, the Blood of God, not the blood of a Jew, not the blood of a
Gentile, but the Life of God. God created this Blood cell. Virgin born,
she never knew no man, neither did the egg come from her. I know many of you
people won't believe the egg did. The egg can't be there without a sensation.
What would God do then. See? He created both egg and blood cell.
And that was the
tabernacle of God: holy. "I will not suffer my Holy One to see corruption." That's where the egg come.
"Neither will I
leave His soul in hell." His body was holy. Oh, my. You
know, if you can't believe that, how can you call yourself a Christian?
We're saved by the
Blood of God. That's where my faith is. Not walk out there in
the blood of a prophet, not walk out there in the blood of an ordinary man, or
a teacher, or a theologian; we walk there in the Blood of God. God said so. He
become human being. He changed His strand. He stretched His tent here with us,
and become one of us. He's our Kinsman Redeemer. He had to become kinfolks to
us, 'cause that was the law. God became man and dwelled among us.
Brother
Vayle explained to me about the Body of Jesus, "that body was the body of God and he loaned it
to His Son."
And brother
Branham said the same thing in his sermon Then
Jesus came and called 64-0417 P:35 The blood comes from the male sex. A hen can
lay an egg, but if she hasn't been with the male bird, it won't hatch. It's not
fertile. Fertility comes from the hemoglobin (That's blood.) that's
in the male sex. Always. And a woman's only the egg. And in this
case Jesus was the Blood of God, a created blood Cell. He was neither Jew
nor Gentile; He was God. The Bible said we're saved by the Blood of God,
not Jewish or Gentile, a creative Blood. That's where...If He was a Jew, my
faith is gone. If He was a Gentile, my faith is gone. He was a God. He was
the immortal God manifested in flesh, that He created a blood Cell and made His own body. Amen. That makes devils
tremble and run. That puts him on the move, when you see the real genuine
thing. Praise the Lord. God manifested in the flesh, He is the Blood of God.
Therefore, the life comes from that germ. And now, by that Blood...
The Apostle
Paul called it the blood of God as we see in Romans
3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation
through faith in His blood, to
declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the
forbearance of God;
And from his
sermon, Show us the Father and it will satisfy
60-0731 P:55 brother Branham said, "Now, if you oneness, twoness, threeness,
fourness, and whatever you are, will just get this in your mind right now, you'd
shake hands and say we're brothers. (Now, what is it that he is
telling us that if we could just get it in our heads it would change the way we
treat one another?)
He goes on to
say, "Look,
God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. Jesus
was the Son of God that God overshadowed Mary, created in the
womb a Blood cell. Now, you've heard people say, "We were saved by
Jewish blood." We could not be saved by Jewish blood. It's just as sinful
as any other blood."We were saved by the blood of Gentile?" No,
sir. We wasn't even saved by human blood. We were saved by the
Blood of God, God's
Blood. The germ of life comes from the blood cell,
and the Blood Cell here came from God the Creator, Who created a Blood Cell
that brought forth the Son of God.
Notice he says
the germ of life comes from the blood cell. The blood cell is not the germ of
life, or the DNA, but it lays within the blood cell. The blood cell is a
wrapping around an invisible Life form of which there is a law of life that
governs that life form, and that is that "every seed will bring forth after its kind."
Now, that is the law that governs the life that lays within the blood cell
which houses it. we will get to this in a later on this evening.
Again brother
Branham said in Show us the father 63-0606 P:67 ...God Almighty, God the Father, overshadowed the virgin
Mary, and created in
her womb a Blood cell which brought forth the Son of God without a
sexual desire. And that
Blood was shed at Calvary. Hallelujah. That is the Blood that I
trust in tonight when there's nothing... "No other fount I know, nothing
but the Blood of Jesus." Therefore, the Blood of God saves us. The Blood of God
brings Jesus Christ in our midst. The Blood of God brings the Holy Ghost, not
the blood of a Jew or a Gentile, but God's own creative Blood. Jesus, the Man, was His Son
that He created Himself, and God tabernacled in that Tabernacle.
And in his
sermon, Deity of Jesus Christ the 49-1225 P:27 he
said, "Therefore, when
Mary, knowing not a man, she was with the Male, God, the Almighty
Jehovah, and He overshadowed her, and God is the Creator that created a
Blood cell in the womb of Mary, knowing no man at all. And that brought
forth the very creative
Blood of God to redeem us from our life coming in here being
born by sexual desire. And then that Blood was drawed out of Immanuel's
veins on Calvary's cross, and today has the same saving, redeeming, holy power
that it did the day the transfusion was made out at Calvary. You believe it?
Amen. Now, that's right. We're redeemed by the Blood of God. The Bible says we are bought by the Blood, and redeemed by God, God's Own Blood.
Now, it is not
the chemistry of the blood that saves us, but the life that lays within the
chemistry.
The scientific evidence of creation is overwhelming when one just looks
into not only the chemical structure of DNA but the very law of Life that
governs that structure.
As brother Branham taught us in the Token, he said it is not the
chemistry but the life within the chemistry.
So too we see this in DNA. There is what is called a DNA chain, which is
made up of substances and compounds made up of amino acids which are bound
together into a DNA strand or chain.
It is not the chemistry itself
that produces the code which forms the eseentiality and intrinsicality of the
DNA chain, but rather it is the code itself which is none other than the law of life God speaks of in Genesis 1:11 that is etched into the DNA that
gives expression to each individual identifiable characteristic. we call these
genes, but what they are is code that was written into each DNA chemical amino
acid and protein that God placed in the seed to begin with.
And what is wonderful is
that these DNA codes are not able within themselves to alter the code within
them. They are fixed as God said in Genesis 1:26 "let every seed bring forth after its kind". And science has only discovered what
God's people have known since the Book of Genesis was written.
Recently science has
taken this one step further and through research has proven that the DNA code
is actually linked to music. When assigned a musical note to each chemical in
the DNA chain they have found there are musical patterns revealing intelligent
design still further.
From an excerpt from an article
called, Scientist forced
into a U-Turn By
Jonathan Gray © 2016 all rights reserved.
We read, "Susumo Ono a noted reasearcher in DNA was so
astonished that he took his findings to musicians. And musicians, in turn, were
astonished to hear echoes of Bach, of Schubert, of Mozart in DNA music. Using
the same formula for converting DNA into music, Dr Ono worked backwards and
translated Chopin's funeral march into chemical symbols. It came out cancer! "
The article goes on to
say, "Scientists at Bell
Laboratories conducted studies on the mathematical language in the DNA molecule.
And what did they find? Its mathematical pattern is identical to that of
conversational language."
And the article
continues, "Concerning DNA, Charles
Thaxton states: "A structural identity has been discovered between the
genetic message on DNA and the written messages of a human language."
(Charles Thaxton, "A
New Design Argument," Cosmic Pursuit 1, no. 2, Spring 1998)."
The article continues,
"Hupert Yockey explains: "There
is an identity of structure between DNA (and protein) and written linguistic
messages. Since we know by experience that intelligence produces written
messages, and no other cause is known, the implication, according to the adductive
method, is that intelligent cause produced DNA and protein. The significance of
this result lies in the security of it, for it is much stronger than if the
structures were merely similar. We are not dealing with anything like a
superficial resemblance between DNA and a written text. We are not saying DNA
is like a message. Rather, DNA is a
message. True design thus returns to biology"
(Hubert P. Yockey, "Journal
of Theoretical Biology")."
So not only is the
Message and the messenger one, but the Messenger is actually the expression of
the message. As Jesus declared, "I and my Father are One, because My father indwells me."
John 10:30 I and my Father are one. 31 Then
the Jews took up stones again to stone him. 32 Jesus
answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my
Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? 33 The
Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for
blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written
in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the
scripture cannot be broken; 36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into
the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? 37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe
me not. 38 But if I do, though ye believe not me,
believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. 39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he
escaped out of their hand,
Things that are to be 65-1205 P:16 In other words, "I and My Father are One. My Father is
dwelling in Me, and what you see do, I'm doing, it's not Me; it's My Father that dwelleth in
Me; He doeth the works." God was in Christ reconciling the
world to Himself.
Spiritual food in due season
65-0718E P:34 He was both
human and Divine, He was a man, weeping; but He had to be God to raise the
dead." That's right. And I said, "He was a man, hungry; but He was
God, feeding five thousand with a couple biscuits and five fishes." That's
right. "He was a man sleeping on the back of a boat; but it was God in Him
that could still the waters." For why? He and His Message was one. He said,
"I and
My Father are One. My Father dwelleth in Me." He was the Fullness of the Godhead bodily.
Does God change His mind
65-0427 P:54 Now, watch when Jesus come, watch what He did to
prove Himself to be that Messiah, that Anointed One. One day, after He had
received... The Father had came down and dwelt in Him in the form of a
dove coming down from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am pleased to dwell in."That's
the reason He said, "I and
My Father are One. My Father dwelleth in Me. It's not Me that doeth the works;
it's My Father that dwelleth in Me."John bear record, seeing that
Spirit of God, like a dove, descending. A Voice coming from It, saying, "This is My beloved Son in Whom I'm pleased
to dwell." See, and He dwelt in Him.
Seed not heir with shuck
65-0218 P:48 Notice, in the wombs of Mary was the Seed. But when
the Seed was delivered, It said, "I come to do the will of Him that sent Me.
I and My Father are One. If I do not His works, believe Me not." There was the Seed.
"Which one of you can condemn Me of unbelief? What the Bible's promised
I'd do, I done it. God has verified that through Me." He said.
"Who can tell Me now?" See? But the Seed in Mary, the shuck, it was
close to being that, but it wasn't. It was still in the womb. Notice. And in
the Pentecostal age, through the Lutheran age, through the Wesleyan age, it's
been the same thing through this Pentecostal age. Now, notice, but at the
opening of the Seven Seals, Revelations
10, the full Word is to be born into manifestation again and vindicated
by the Spirit of God in the full strength, as It was when It was here on
earth, manifested in the same way, doing the same things that It did when It
was here on earth. Amen. Hebrews
13:8 said Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. In St. Luke 17:30 Jesus said,
"In the
last days, as it was in the days of Sodom when the Son of man will be revealing
Himself again, it'll be the same thing."
Presence of God unrecognized
64-0618 P:6 Now, in the days of the prophets, what happened? They
did the same thing. They didn't recognize them till they had done come,
ministry had finished, took out of that the elected, and then after they were
gone they recognized that there had been a prophet among them. Jesus, He came
to the earth that... Endowed within Him was the Father, God. "I and My Father
are One. My Father dwelleth in Me. It's not Me that doeth the works, but My
Father. And if I do not the works of My Father, believe Me not." Now, if
you notice, when He came, about one, one ninetieth of the world knew that He
was even on earth at that time, and yet the Saviour of the world. And then they
never recognized Who He was, even the church, or no one else, hardly, until
they had crucified Him, buried, and rose on the third day, before they ever
knowed Who He was.
Now, think
about that. he was the Word made flesh, the Message and the Messenger were one,
and so they rejected the Messenger because they rejected the Message, because
he and the Message were one. Same thing today with William Branham, and same
thing today with the elect Seed of God who have become the very blood of God by
the Spirit.
Unveiling of God 64-0614M
P:129 Jesus said, "Search the Scriptures, you think you have... You
believe in God, believe also in Me. If I do not the works of My Father, then
don't believe Me. But if I do do the works, I and My Father are One. When you
see Me, you have seen the Father."And when you see the Word made manifest, you see the Father
God, because the Word is the Father; the Word is God. And the Word made manifest is God Himself
taking His Own Word and manifesting It among believers. Nothing can make It live but
believers, just believers. It's not... It won't...
That is why
brother Branham said in his sermon, Show us the Father 50-0819 P:23 You're the blood of
your father and mother. But being born again, you become the Blood of God, the
Blood of Christ cleansing us.
Now,
it is with this thought that I would like to move onto point number 2 where we began showing
Christmas Morning that the Christmas Message is Imparting Life. God imparted
His own Life into His Son and His son by shedding his blood, His Life on
Calvary, the very blood and thus the very life that manifested itself in him,
was released upon the church to bring forth other sons, and thus released the
Life of God that was in the son to come back on sons.
And
we have thoroughly established that Jesus was the blood of God and that in that
Blood housed the very Life and nature of God's DNA.
Now,
this evening we are making another turn so stay with me, as we are going to and
show you that the very Life that was in Christ Jesus the first born son of God
comes into sons, and that makes us as brother Branham stated, by "being born again, you become the Blood of God,".
Now,
he is not talking about the chemistry of the blood but the very life that the
chemistry of the blood contains.
Token the 63-0901M P:39 Now, the blood
is the chemistry of the life, but the life is something different from the
blood. But the life
is in the blood.
Therefore, as
science has proven, that the DNA is a musical chord, or a musical melody, and
it is a mathematical equation, and it is a language, and thus it is a Message
making the Messenger and the Message one.
Then if we
become the very blood of God by the Spirit, we become the very Message of God
to mankind just as the first born son was God's Message to mankind, so too we
saw that His Messenger became His Message to mankind, and now the elect bride
must become that last manifestation of the message of God itself.
Paradox 64-0418B P:60 For instance,
what if I had the jurisdiction over you as God had over everything? And I'd
say, "Well, I'll tell you what. Anybody looks at that light's going to
die. Like, take the tree." And the first thing you know, this brother
setting here this would look at that. I feel sorry for him. I don't want him to
die. So I will have Terry here to... That wouldn't be right. No. Well now if
I'd have my own son to do it? That wouldn't be right. There's only one way I
can be just, and that's take his place. And God could not take a human's place,
being His Spirit. So God created a blood cell which was His own Son, Jesus
Christ. And God came in and lived in there, and lived, identified
Himself in Christ. That was God Emmanuel. Jesus said, "I and My Father are One. My Father dwells
in Me," (See?), God in Christ reconciling the world. Jesus was
the Body, the Tabernacle, God was the Spirit that lived in Him.
Show Us The Father It'll Satisfy
56-0422 E-36 Now, it's many times it's been said that no man can see God at anytime,
the Bible said so. But the
only begotten of the Father has declared Him. Philip,
here was very inquisitive; he wanted to see the Father. Says here He said,
"I've been so long with you, Philip, and you don't know Me?"
Said, "When you see Me you see My Father."
In other words,
(notice when brother
ubranham uses the word "In other words" he is going to explain how
this can be that you could see the Father when you see him. ) you see the Father
express Himself through the Son. Him and
the Father were one in
the sense that His
Father was dwelling in Him, not
Him doing the works; He was a Son, Himself, the immortal, virgin born, Son
of God. And then in Him was dwelling the God, the Father, expressing Himself to the world, His attitude towards the people. See? Well, that's how
Christ and God were one. God was in
Christ reconciling the world to Himself.
Now, He said, "When you see Me, you see the Father, and
why do you say, 'Show us the Father?'
Sir we would see Jesus
62-0724 P:49 And Jesus said in Saint John the 1st chapter, also
in the 10th chapter and the 37th verse He said, "If I do not the
works of My Father, then don't believe Me." In other words, what the Father had expressed
that He was, if He didn't do that, then don't believe Him. That's
only sensible. See? And in Saint John 5:39, said, "Search the Scriptures; for in Them you
think you have Eternal Life: and They are They that testify of me." In other words, He
was the living Word. He was God's Word made manifest. Oh, how I like to get
into that: God's Word made manifest, in other words, made known: God's
Word made known. In
other words, He was the One that God lived in to make His Word known.
Christ expressed
what the Word talked. Amen. There you are. Christ was the expression of the
Word that was wrote. Christ expressed it. No wonder He said to
those Pharisees, religious leaders of His day, He said, "You hypocrites," said,
"if the sun sets clear, you say it's going to be pretty tomorrow. If it's
red and lowering, you say it'd be foul weather." Said, "You can discern
the face of the skies; but the sign of the time you cannot discern. For if you
had known Me, you would've known My day." See? They had religion, oh, my,
plenty of it. But they failed to see Him as the Messiah, because...
Identification 63-0123 P:46 Look to Him,
all the ends of the world, and live. And the only way you can... His sinless
nature expressed the Word of God so much that He and the Word was One. He
said so. "I and
My Father are One. I do always that what pleases the... I and My Father are
just One." He was so perfect in the image of God until He and God was the expressed
same thing. He was the flesh, the Son, that expressed the deity of God.
So that made Him deity in a man, in order to redeem a man. See? He and the Word was One.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God. And the Word was
made flesh..." So He and the Word became one, that the Word could express, and
could show to the world that Example of what man should be.
Token the 63-0901M P:93 "When I
see the Blood," that's the Token, and the Token here is not... 'cause what
did... He had to see the actual chemistry, because the life had gone, had gone
from it. It was an animal. But here it's His Own Life that was in the Blood,
and the chemistry was only a signal, or sign of sanctification. But the Life Itself is the Token.
For without the circumcision, without the Token, you're not even in the
covenant. The whole thing works together. If you say you're circumcised to
the Word, and It only, then you'll believe the Word. If you believe the Word, then
the Token's got to come. For He said, "Repent, and be
baptized everyone of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins,
and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." There you are. Oh, my.
Sir we would see Jesus
62-0724 P:49 And Jesus said in Saint John the 1st chapter, also
in the 10th chapter and the 37th verse He said, "If I do not the
works of My Father, then don't believe Me." In other words, what the Father had expressed
that He was, if He didn't do that, then don't believe Him. That's
only sensible. See? And in Saint John 5:39, said, "Search the Scriptures; for in Them you
think you have Eternal Life: and They are They that testify of me." In other words, He
was the living Word. He was God's Word made manifest. Oh, how I like to get
into that: God's Word made manifest, in other words, made known: God's
Word made known. In
other words, He was the One that God lived in to make His Word known.
Christ expressed
what the Word talked. Amen. There you are. Christ was the expression of the
Word that was wrote. Christ expressed it. No wonder He said to
those Pharisees, religious leaders of His day, He said, "You hypocrites," said,
"if the sun sets clear, you say it's going to be pretty tomorrow. If it's
red and lowering, you say it'd be foul weather." Said, "You can discern
the face of the skies; but the sign of the time you cannot discern. For if you
had known Me, you would've known My day." See? They had religion, oh, my,
plenty of it. But they failed to see Him as the Messiah, because...
Notice how
many times brother Branham says here, "In
other words" because he is trying to get across to us
that God, being the Invisible Word, Message of Life, the DNA Code, and when the
messenger says nothing or expresses nothing but what the Code says, what the Message
says, the Invisible Word says, then that messenger becomes one with the Message
and thus an expression of the Message. And that Message is engrafted into their
DNA or they never could be one with that Word.
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. 30 Moreover
whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also
justified: and whom he justified, them he
also glorified.
"He also glorified"
doxazo, God
already pre placed within us His Doxa in
our Zoe. He predestined us to be "Written epistles known and read of all men." The reason you could believe
and walk in the light as He is in the light is because he placed His own
Message of God-Life into you Genes, your DNA, and it was always there but it
took the baptism of the Holy Spirit to help you to realize you have always been
the son of The King.
Colossians 3:3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with
Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, (shall phaneroo,
shall manifest in his true Character) then shall ye also appear
(phaneroo, shall manifest in your true character) with him in glory. (with him, united in
Him in the same glory, the same doxa, the same opinions and values and
judgments, the same Message). Making you the blood of God through the same
Spirit.
Token the 63-0901M P:49 What a hour
that we're now living. Oh, a blood identified the believer, because that the
life had gone out, could not come back, so he had to have a
chemistry. He had to have it like a paint, a blood, a chemistry that showed
that life went from it. Now, the very Spirit Itself is the Token. The Holy Spirit Itself is the
Token, not the Blood. The Blood was shed at Calvary, that is
true, but the Blood, as far as it is, went back into the elements from which it
come, from the food that He lived on. But you see, inside that Blood cell was a
Life that started the blood cell to moving. If it wasn't, the chemistry had no Life in it
itself; and therefore it could not move. But when the
Life come into the chemistry of the blood, it formed a cell. It formed its own cell, then
cell after cell. And it become a Man, and that Man was God Emmanuel in flesh.
But when that Life returned back the chemistry went to it. But the Token is
the Holy Ghost upon the church, that they see Christ.
Questions and answers COD
64-0830E P:35 When you're born again, you're not born of physical,
like the baby was; but what's happened, the spiritual birth has come to you.
And while this spiritual birth is growing into your heart, of God, there
is a physical or a celestial body growing to receive that spirit.
And when the life leaves this body, it goes to that body. Just as when the body
is presented to the earth, the spirit comes in, and when the spirit goes out
of the body, there is a body waiting. "For we know that after this earthly
tabernacle be dissolved, we have one already waiting." See?
That's it, the spiritual body of the people.
That is why
brother Branham said in Explaining healing and
Jairus 54-0216 P:37 The devil's just trying to scare you out of something. He's
trying to put something off somewhere else, say, "Some of these days
you'll be this." You are now. Now, we're sons of God. Now, we're seated together in
heavenly places. Now, we have all powers in heavens and the earth. See? Now, we
have it. Not in the millennium, we won't need it then. We got it now. We're... Right
now we are the sons of God. "It does
not appear what we shall be, but we know we'll be like Him." What you are here is a reflection of what you are somewhere else.
"Those who He called, He justifies." Is that right? "Those
who He justified, He has glorified." Already in the Presence of the
Father, we have a glorified body. Whew! Wasn't that deep? All
right. We'll find out whether it's right or not. "If this earthly tabernacle be dissolved, we have one already
waiting." Is that right? That's right. So
right now, and what
we are here, is a reflection of what we are somewhere else. So
if your deeds are evil, you know where it comes from. You know where your
other body's a waiting.
Identification 64-0216 P:28 a reflection. You've
got to be identified. And if you are, and you were in God's thinking at
the beginning (See?), and was His reflection here on earth, you'll bear
record of the heavenly. And as He bore record of the heavenly also, and
when He raised up from the grave, and was given a body, we, when we raise
up, will have a body like His own glorious body. The resurrection is sure.
It's a guarantee. And we have the earnest of it now, as the Holy Spirit
comes in and identifies us as God's redeemed person. Amen. When you receive
the Holy Ghost you're sealed till the journey's over.
World is falling apart
63-1115 P:71 Oh, if we are the sons and daughters of the King, the King of kings, let's
conduct our character as Christians. That's right. ...You're a
daughter of God. You're a son of God. Let's act like God. We are the children of
God; we know that we're sons and daughters of the King. Let our character
reflect His Presence, no matter how rough it gets.
So when brother Branham says, you become the Blood of God, he is not talking about the chemistry, he is
talking about the Life that the chemistry formed around, and the Life that is
in you by the new birth has to form a Word body around that Life as well. That
is why brother Vayle always said, "get your eyes off the vessel, and get your eyes on the God
who is using that Vessel."
It's all about
the God, and God-Life,
1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit (By One Word,
One Life, "for my words are spirit and they are
Life" Jesus said,) For by one Spirit (One
Word, One Spirit, One Life) 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.
One body he
said. I don't know what you believe, but as for me, he said by one Spirit I've
been baptized into one body, and that one Body, the body of
Christ has already taken its punishment for sin on Calvary's cross, and I was
there, and now I am setting in heavenly places in Christ.
Ephesians 2:18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
Acts 17:28 For in him we live, and move,
and have (possess) our being; as certain also of your own
poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
And
if we are his offspring that means we have sprung off from Him. Then he is our
source of Life, and
Therefore
this brings us to point number 2) That in that Blood, in that chemistry was
the literal Life of God and the chemistry of that blood cell was infused
then with the very DNA of God, His every
attribute and characteristic that made God who He was. That Jesus Christ the
first born was so much an expression of God, that in Him he was the essentiality
and intrinsic-ality of all that God is.
Hebrews 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers
manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath
in these last days spoken unto us in Son,
whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person,
and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself
purged our sins, sat down on the
right hand of the Majesty on high; 4 Being made so much better than the angels, (showing it was not angels God
spoke to in Genesis
1:26) as he hath by inheritance
obtained a more excellent name than they. (He said I come in my Fathers name, showing he
received his Father's name by inheritance) 5 For unto which of the angels said he at any
time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten
thee? And again, I will be to him a Father,
and he shall be to me a Son?
Possessing gate of the enemy
64-0322 P:19 Now, but when Jesus, the Son of God, virgin born,
shed His Blood, the Life that was in that Blood was God Itself. That Life was eternal Life and there is only one form of eternal and that
is God, therefore it had to be God's own Life in His Son.
Token the 64-0308 P:16 He created both
egg and Blood. That's exactly what He was. "We handled God," the
Bible said. I Timothy 3:16, "Without controversy great is the mystery
of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh. We handled Him with our hands." That body was God.
Certainly was. He was
God all over, in a form of a human being.
Now, we must
balance this with the statement also from brother Branham where he said,
God's gifts always find place
63-1222 P:50 Now, notice.
And after then the wise men identifying Him what He would be, and we find
through the Scripture that's exactly what it was: Deity in service for death.
What for? Deity in service to God for death. Jesus was Deity in service for
death to redeem the world. But what did the world do to it? They refused it.
They rejected it. Why? Some of them, a big part of them, did that because this:
because He did die. They said, "He couldn't be Deity and die." The man, the body was not Deity,
but Deity was in
the body. This body has to perish. The very Christ that's in you
is the only thing that can raise you up. That's Deity, God in you.
So the deity
itself is the life, but the chemistry or vessel is a created being and as a
created being it has to perish, for if it had a beginning it surely must have
an end. So we are not looking at the vessel, the body, the chemistry itself
when we refer to the blood, but we are looking at the Spirit, the Life, the
very nature in Him and in you.
And this takes
us to point number 3) Jesus Christ was
so much in the image of the Father, that he did not come to express son, He
came to declare the Father.
Jesus himself said in John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son,
which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared
him. And the word declare means to express forth. To
bring forth by expression. It was translated from the Greek word
exe-geomai and we know the
first part of that word which ie exe, or the root word ex
means to deapart from "to exit
or to bring forth," and then placing that before the root
word genomai which speaks of genetics or the genes themselves,
tells us that to declare the Father was to express the attributes and characteristics
which make up the Father. Therefore we are looking at the statement Jesus made
as being thus, "God is Spirit,
therefore He is invisible, and no man
has ever seen Him at any time, but the only
begotten (uniquely begotten) Son, which is in the
bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. He
hathm expressed the Father by manifesting and showing forth his attributes and characteristics to the
people.
That was the purpose of the son of God
coming into the world, not to receive Life, for He was with the Father before
the world was framed, but to receive a body that could express the Father in a
visible form that man might know god through an experiential knowing.
John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might
know thee the only true God, and
Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 4 I have glorified thee
on the earth: I have finished the work
which thou gavest me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee
before the world was. 6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou
gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they
have kept thy word.
7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast
given me are of thee. 8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have
received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have
believed that thou didst send me.
18 As thou hast sent me into
the world, (as means in the same way, so Jesus is
saying in the
same way you sent me into the world, I will send them into the world.
And brother Branham
said in his sermon, Time
tested faith 58-0530 P:57 Jesus was the
body, the Son of God; God dwelt in Christ. Now, Jesus said Himself, "The Son can do nothing in Himself," Saint John 5:19, "but what He sees the Father doing, that
doeth the Son likewise." Did you ever read that? Then He didn't do
nothing, till Father God showed Him a vision on what to do. Now, you see
the Bible's infallible, the... Jesus said, "The Scriptures cannot be broken." Jesus
said that. Now, and then if Jesus said, "I can do nothing until the Father shows Me
first what to do. The Father worketh; I worketh hitherto." In
other words, He
acted out in drama what the Father showed Him to do. Watch each
case, every time you find it the same way, unless that was the people's faith. Now,
now we notice this. Then again, we find He said, "As the Father hath sent Me, so send I you." Now, the Father that sent Him was
with Him and in Him. The Father that sent Him, went with Him and in Him.
Well, the Jesus that
sends us, goes with us and in us. See? So Jesus shows us what
to do.
18 As thou hast sent me into the
world, even so (or in the same way) have I also sent
them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify
myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. 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 (the
doxa, the opinions, values, and judgments) which thou gavest me I
have given them; that they may be one,
even as we are one: 23 I in them, and thou in
me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou
hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. 24 Father, I will that
they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold
my glory, which thou hast given me:
for thou lovedst me before the
foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father, the
world hath not known thee: but I have
known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. 26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and
will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I
in them.
John 12:27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I
say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this
hour.
Body Celestial-Body Terrestrial
P:43Questions and Answers 64-0830E 1156-58 This is a dying spirit in a dying body; but now, you can't be in two bodies at one time, but there can be
two natures in you at one time. Now, the nature of the Spirit of the Lord... When
you're born again, you're not born of physical, like the baby was; but what's
happened, the spiritual
birth has come to you. And while this spiritual birth is growing
into your heart, of God, there
is a physical or a celestial body growing to receive that spirit. And when the life
leaves this body, it goes to that body. Just as when the body is presented
to the earth, the spirit comes in, and when the spirit goes out of the body,
there is a body waiting. "For we
know that after this earthly tabernacle be dissolved, we have one already
waiting."
See? That's it, the
spiritual body of the people. Brother Branham.. 1157-Q-383 383.
Dear Brother Branham, what is the difference when Jesus breathed on the
disciples and said, "Receive ye the Holy Ghost," and when they had to go to the upper room to tarry? It was a
promise He gave them, breathed upon them His promise, said, "Receive ye the Holy Ghost." It was a promise. They
went to the upper room to wait for the promise to be fulfilled. The same thing
is when we lay hands upon you to be healed, then you go on about your business
waiting for the promise to be fulfilled.
Now, we know the new birth speaks of, as
Jesus said here, He that is born of The Spirit
(the Holy Spirit) must be spirit, for every seed must
bring forth after its kind, or it's nature. Then if you have been
born again by the Spirit of the Living God, you will receive the very nature
of the Living God into your being. And then if your Father is Holy, for
He is called the Holy Spirit, then if you
have received His seed Life, His Holy Seed Life, therefore His nature in your
mortal being will, no, must then be Holy and cannot help but to live Holy.

What
Distinguishes the Father from the Son is that the Son did not know all things.
He said, "No man knoweth the time or season, except the Father".
From QA HEBREWS PART 1 57-0925 233-145 Now, the oneness
teaching of the oneness church, I certainly disagree with them, thinking that Jesus is one like
your finger's one. He had to have a Father. If He didn't, how
could He be His own father? And if His Father was a man like the
Trinitarian says, then He was born a illegitimate birth with two fathers. So
you see, you're both wrong by arguing. See? But the truth of it is, that
both Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, is one Personality. God dwelling in a
tabernacle of flesh to take sin from the world... That's exactly right, "God with us."
