Satans Eden no 42
The power of Revelation
part 2
April 24, 2022
Brian
Kocourek, Pastor
Amos 8:11 Behold,
the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a
famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:
This Morning I would like to speak
again on a subject we spoke on April 10,2022
concerning the power of Revelation. This will be part 2 of The Power of Revelation. In order to do so we will have to also
continue examining brother Branham’s thoughts from Satan’s Eden.
There is so much in this sermon, that
we have already seen coming forth from just one little paragraph, and therefore,
just as the Shunamite woman’s cruse of oil never went dry during the time of
famine in the days of Elijah, so has God promised to feed us His Spiritual Food in Due Season during this end-time world-wide
famine for the Word of God which we just read the prophecy from Amos 8.
Not only has this Message
represented to us the “cruse of oil”
that Elijah had prayed over for the Shunamite woman, but just one little paragraph
alone is like the one parcel she had left and it became multiplied to last
throughout the drought.
From His sermon, Trying to do God a
service 65-1127B P:88 brother Branham said, “But the Elijah of this day is the Lord Jesus
Christ. He is to come according to Matthew the seventeen--or Luke 17:30.
It... The Son of man is to reveal
Himself among His people: not a man, God. But it'll come through a prophet.
And He never had two major prophets at
the same time, never in the world. See?
And so Our Elijah of this day which
is the Lord Jesus Christ has provided oil for us for the entire last portion of
the Shout which will take us up to the resurrection season where that Shout
becomes the Voice and moves us into resurrection season. Same Word, Same Lord
Jesus Christ, Same God Same Shout, Same Word only fitted for the resurrection
season.
So let’s begin this morning by
reading from paragraph 21
of
Brother Branham’s sermon Satan’s Eden where he said, “It's been, and
now is, Satan establishing his kingdom in the earth.
That's exactly why he's doing it,
And not to get
political on you but the apostle Paul told us in Ephesians 5:13 that “what makes manifest is light.”
Ephesians 4:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful
works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 12 For it is a shame even to speak of those
things which are done of them in secret. 13 But all things that are reproved are made
manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. 14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that
sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. 15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not
as fools, but as wise, 16 Redeeming the time, because the days are
evil. 17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but
understanding what the will of the Lord is.
Therefore
to understand darkness we must have light. The Apostle Paul said in Romans 13: 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore
cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
Therefore, not only does light expose what hides in the darkness,
but light also, by exposing what is in darkness, fortifies us like armor to be
able to deal with what is in darkness.
Sp when brother Branham
says, “It's
been, and now is, Satan establishing his kingdom
in the earth. That's exactly why he's doing it,”…
Therefore let’s
just take a short look at how and who Satan is establishing his Kingdom in the
earth through.
“for he wants to establish his own
kingdom as a businessman that's not a Christian. He will work every scheme he can to make you see something the wrong
way.
If
he's got a purpose and a personal gain in making you doing that, making you see it that way, he will
show you everything he can and keep you off
from the truth of it, because he's
got a feeling only for himself. No matter how much he lies and cheats, and
what evermore, he's got personal gain.
Therefore not to
deviate from the spiritual understanding that Brother Branham is bringing out,
because we will get to that in a few minutes, but Satan is establishing his
kingdom through his children. So who are his children any way?
Well, the answer
has been out there for at least the last 30-40 years. And if you like to do
research, just research the blood lines of those so called world elite families
who attend the annual Bilderberg meetings to plot out their next steps in
solidifying the establishment of Satan’s Eden.
Research
families like the Rothchild’s, Rockefellers, The Queen of England, the Queen of
Denmark, the Bush family, and even Dr. Fauci, Bill Gates, and a whole host of
people who are pushing for a new world order. That is just the Jewish side of
the strain, you know, the Jews who hold the paper. And then so a deep dive into
the Vatican Billions, and you will see both side of the picture.
But this morning
we will not take that deep dive, but Lord Willing we may do so one day, or when
the Resurrection ministry moves us into the Voice, perhaps at that time br.
Branham will preach the trail of the Serpent which he was heading back to
preach in Jeffersonville when he was killed by a drunken Catholic boy in a very
tragic auto accident.
So he continues,
“And that's
why Satan's done this. And he's worked through the ministry to do it, as God
promised He would do.”
So not only do we have the Jewish
Bankers and Wallstreet Jews who own the paper, but we have the Catholic church
who has been collecting the gold of the world for the past 1,600 years.
And of course She is the Whore of
Revelation 17 and her harlot daughters are the denominational churches and
ministries that oppose this Shout that God Himself came down with which exposes
them by its great light.
Now, let me read from Christ Revealed in his own word where brother
Branham says in pp. [159]. In the Laodicean age the people were what? Naked (Are they?), blind. What good does light do to a blind man?
And of course light represents the Word of God made manifest. When the Word
is manifested, that is what brother Branham termed “light upon the Word.”
Man that can turn on light
63-1229M P:36 So life is only by the Word of God made manifest.
Life comes only by the Word of God made manifest. As long as it is
just in the Book like this, it still can be questioned; but when
it's made manifest, then you see the product of what It spoke of being
manifested; then that is Light
on the Word. See? That's what brings... The Word said so, and then when
it comes to pass, that is Life in Light, Light bringing Life.Light brings life.
Plant the wheat out here, it'll... You put it in a basement, cover it all over,
and it'll never bring forth anything, because it can't; there's no light there.
But as soon as light strikes it, then it'll bring forth life if it's a
germitized seed. That's the same thing it is in the Word. See, the Word
is God, and when the life strikes It, it brings It--Light strikes It, it brings
the Word to life again. Every age has always been that.
If the blind
leads the blind, don't they all fall in the ditch? Naked, blind, and don't know it. Even their
mental faculties are gone, their spiritual faculties of mental--spiritual
understanding. See? Heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasure more than
lovers of God, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, and despisers of
those that are good, having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof,
The power of
revelation, they don't even believe in it. See?”) They
don't believe in such things as prophets, and so... They don't believe in it.
Now, April 10th when we
began this mini-series we examined Hebrews 11 which is commonly known as the Faith
chapter of the Bible and in our examination of this chapter we looked very
closely at each verse and made notation of the different characteristics of
Faith, or the power of Faith, which is the power of Revelation, and we listed
them so that we might see that the Power of Revelation is not just limited to
giving us Spiritual sight, but it is the same power that created the
worlds. And as we have already seen that
the eye salve which is to restore our sight is an anointing oil, and this
anointing oil in the process of giving sight will also sanctify and make Holy
the Believer, for our righteousness is but filthy rags, but we are the
righteousness of God, made that way by the Power of Revelation.
I would love to review Hebrews 11, the entire chapter again, but we do
not have time to go through it all and keep the sermon around an hour, so just
go back and review all the power that is associated with Faith which is a
Revelation.
We also found that the Message, which
is the Shout, is the Revelation of Jesus Christ and it has come forth as a work
of Faith with Power.
2 Thessalonians 1:7 “And to
you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from
heaven with his mighty angels, 8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them
that know not God, and that obey not the
gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9 Who shall be punished with everlasting
destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
Notice
he says of them
that obey not the Gospel are to be isolated from the Glory of His power, which is the Word of
His power. Or His Word made power.
And
of course the Gospel which is the Word of God is the power of God as the
apostle Paul assured us in
Romans
1:16-20. 16 For I
am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God
unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the
Greek. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God
revealed from faith to faith (from revelation to revelation) as it is written, The just shall live by faith. (by revelation) for faith is a revelation, something that is revealed to us.
Rapture the 65-1204 P:40 But to the church, the Bride, the
rapture is a revelation to her. It's revealed to her, that the
revelation, the true Bride of Christ will be waiting for that revelation of
the rapture. Now, it
is a revelation, for the revelation is faith. You cannot have a revelation
without it being faith. Faith is a revelation, because it's
something that's revealed to you.
Faith
is a revelation. Faith is something that has been revealed to you
like it was to Abraham, that could call anything contrary to what had been
revealed to him as though it wasn't so. Now, faith... That's what faith is,
is the revelation of God. The church is built upon a revelation, the whole
entire body.
And as we showed
last week that Faith, Revelation is the word of God made power. Manifested.
And the Apostle
Paul said in Romans
1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven (and
the Lord descends from Heaven with a Shout, so the wrath has to be revealed in
the Shout.) For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven
against all ungodliness and un-right-wise-ness
of men, who hold the truth in un-rightl-wise-ness;
In other words
they hold onto a wrong understanding of God’s Truth. And who got them to
believe the lie? Satan did through his ministers.
Look, they could
not pull off the mark of the beast without a false ministry to prepare the minds
of the people for it. And they could not have pulled off injecting 80% of
humanity without the pulpits also pushing it. Because if the pulpits had not
been complicit, and had spoken out against it in unison. It would not have been
as successful as they were. But the pulpits did not speak out, and in fact they
are the ones who encouraged the people to comply with Satan’s Edenic plan to
make all humans hybrid once again.
Romans
1:21 Because
that, when they knew God, (when they ginosko God, when they experientially
knew him, when they saw God in action like Israel did as David
said in Psalm 103: He made known his ways
unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.”
So
because they had known God experientially by seeing the Healing in his wings
which was done before millions of people all around the world, yet “they glorified him
not as God,
They
did not accept God’s Glory, His doxa, His Opinions, Values, and judgments, which
came via His Message, and they did not
accept the message to be God’s Message) neither were thankful;
God
came with healing in his wings for the body and a Message to restore their
hearts back to His Word, which was healing for their soul, and they were not thankful.) “but became vain in
their imaginations,” (that
word is “dialog”-ismos, which means in their dialogue, which means they became
vain in their discussions,) and so their foolish heart became darkened
In
other words the Apostle Paul is saying that in their discussion about the
Message, they said that can’t be God, because it goes against what we have been
taught for hundreds of years as truth. So they turned it down. and they
said, “when God came down and manifested healing to us and even in us, we
believed the one who was being used by God
to do so to be sent from God.
But when he began
to preach doctrine, which means to teach God’s Message, which is The Shout that
God had revealed to him, and he in turn began to preach to the people.
Then in their discussions, in their dialogue, they said, “we can accept the miracles and the healing as being from God, but we
cannot accept the word he is preaching because it is contrary to the teaching
our denomination teaches”.
So
they said in their dialogue, “God was with him when he came healing the
sick, but when he began to teach is doctrine”, God must have left him.
Because what he taught was just too much contrary to what they thought they
knew, and so they turned on him and said that can’t be of God.
22 So, Professing
themselves to be wise, they became fools,
And
so they welcomed in Satan’s Eden instead of God’s Rapture. And in 1956 this
nation and the world turned down God’s Message, which was the Shout that God
came down to declare. And if you like to do research just watch what took place
in this nation after 1956.
Church
attendance hit its peak in 1957 and has steadily decreased ever since. 2021 it
hits its historical low.
By Hannah Frishberg March 30, 2021
For the first time in 80 years, Gallup has found that
less than half of US adults belong to a church, synagogue or mosque. “Americans’
membership in houses of worship continued to decline last year, dropping below
50% for the first time in Gallup’s eight-decade trend,” Gallup reported in a Monday post.
“US church membership was 73% when Gallup first measured it in 1937. Membership numbers dropped to 50% by 2018, and last year
slipped to 47%.
The decline in membership is due to not only a decline in
religious Americans belonging to a church, but also an increase in Americans
who do not follow a religion at all, according to Gallup. “Over the past two
decades, the percentage of Americans who do not identify with any religion has
grown from 8% in 1998-2000 to 13% in 2008-2010 and 21% over the past three years,” the
report added.
The
trend is likely to continue, with Gallup noting that church membership is
“strongly correlated with age.” While 66% of Americans born before 1946 belong
to a church, only 58% of baby boomers do. Meanwhile, membership for Generation
X is 50%, and just 36% for millennials. Available data on adult members of
Generation Z appear to mirror millennial rates of religiosity.
Today there are less than half the churches in America than there was 100 years ago. This
is just one of the startling statistics that reflect the state of the Church in
America today there is no doubt that Christianity in America is changing and we
will need to adapt along with it. There are 250,000 Protestant churches
in America and 80% of them have no growth in attendance or they are showing a
decline.
More than 4000 churches
are forced to close their doors every year because 3,500 people are leaving the
church every day. Most of this decline has taken place since 1950
with a full third of our churches closing the doors for good.
I guess you
could call that the great falling away, if ever there was.
Now
in getting back to what Paul was saying in 2 Thessalonians 1 lets pick up at verse 10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, (Notice I the
hour of His great Parousia Presence when he has descended with a Shout, He says
at that hour His gloy, His opinions, values and judgments will manifest in His
elect ) and to be
admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed)
in that day.
11 Wherefore also we pray always for you,
that our God would count you worthy of this
calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of his
goodness, and the work of faith (revelation) with power: 12 That the name of our
Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in
you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord
Jesus Christ.
Notice we are told that this work of faith is with Power. That speaks
of the power of revelation. And in Luke 21:27 we are told that when He comes in a
Cloud it will be with Great Power and Glory. Therefore it must be the Power of Revelation for it is the
greatest power that is given to the believer.
Luke 21:27 And then shall they
see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 And when these things
begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your
redemption draweth nigh.
Now, you might ask. What kind of
power does Faith have? Well, we know that through
Faith we receive Spiritual sight, right? Therefore through Faith we are justified, sanctified and given new
birth. Therefore Faith has within it the
power of Life itself. And not just life but Eternal Life.
But beyond that, we know that
through the exercise of Faith we have seen many people healed from whatever
ailments they’ve had, whether it was a tumor, or cancer, or leukemia, or
misaligned body joints, or a broken back, or broken bones, or paralysis, or
hearing loss, or gang green.
And beyond this we’ve been made
partakers and eye witnesses to what the effectual prayer of a righteous man can do,
James 5:16-18
16 Confess
your faults one to another, and pray one for
another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man
availeth much. 17 Elias was a man subject to like passions
as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on
the earth by the space of three years and six months. 18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave
rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
And we’ve seen this power of Faith
in action ourselves turn the weather condition which not only had an effect
upon your lives, but millions of others who knew nothing about yet, received
the blessings as well, And We’ve seen nature turned upside down, and the laws
of physics made of no effect.
Therefore we find the power of Revelation has the Power to heal; and the power to save; the power to sustain; and the
power to raise from the dead and make alive; the power to give new birth; and the power to discern; and power
over the elements; and power over
nature; as well as the power to
create. (“squirrels”)
And yet brother Branham said, “they don’t even believe in the Power of Revelation.” What an indictment, when the very God
of Heaven has descended with a Shout and has performed miracle after miracle
and yet they still wander in their own unbelief. No wonder they are lost. They
couldn’t find their way if they were given clear and implicit instructions.
Why? Because they have a mental deficiency, and they are devil possessed. That’s Laodicea.
187-235 QA Image of the
Beast 54-0515 The
church was built upon the Divine
revelation of God. "Flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, Peter, but My Father
which is in heaven has revealed it to you. And upon this rock (spiritual revelation of the Word of God) I'll build My church, and the
gates of hell will never prevail against it." ...
when the church of God
moves on in the power of the inspiration,
she'll move right on and on and on and on, and no denomination stop it; nothing
in the world will stop it. "Upon this rock I'll build
My church, and the gates of hell cannot prevail against it": spiritual, revealed truth.
E-13 I Know My Redeemer
Liveth 58-0406S God's purpose can never be defeated. There is nothing can defeat it. So how happy ought we to be
today, resting upon that beautiful revelation
of the Word of the living God,
that there is neither things present nor things that can come; there's no
sickness, no sorrow, no death, no perils, nor nothing can separate us from the
purpose of the living God.
What God has imagined in His mind, what God has purposed in His
heart to bring to pass, there is no demon, there's no power, there is nothing
can ever separate God's great immortal inter--eternal plan. It must be as God
has said.
82 Discernment of the
Spirit 60-0308 It's all right, but flesh and blood has not revealed this to you. It's not a intellectual
conception of how you can make your speech, how you must bow yourself, how
or what great thing you must do here on earth. That isn't what it is. It isn't
build a great thing or do a great thing. What it is a revelation of the Word of
God. He was the Word. "In the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made
manifest and dwelt among us."
46-4 The Absolute 62-1230M
Watch the words now. "Blessed are thou, Simon,
son of Jonas; flesh and blood has not revealed this to you (You never learned it by some priest; you never learned it by some
seminary.), but My Father which is in
heaven has revealed it to you. And upon this rock (spiritual revelation of
the Word), I'll build My Church,
and the gates of hell cannot prevail against It."
E-47 God Keeps His Word
57-0407M Way down in Egypt God said, "I
have given you that land and all that's in it."
Now, He never just said, "I'm going
to pick you up, take you up there, and set you down." They had to fight for every inch of ground
they had. God when commanding Joshua there, He said, "Be of good courage. Be not afraid; neither be thou dismayed for the
Lord thy God is with thee wheresoever thou goest." The Lord thy God is with thee, wheresoever thou
goest.
No matter what it is, how hard it is, how great the obstacle is,
that doesn't matter. If it's down through the valley of the shadow of death,
the Lord thy God is with thee wheresoever thou goest. Oh, how Joshua could call Israel together
and say, "Stand here and watch the glory of God." God is with His
Word. God made the promise. God said
to Joshua, "Every place that the soles of your foot set, that yours. That's give
to you." Amen.
If it's for salvation,
if it's for Divine healing, if it's for more blessings, if it's for peace, if
it's for anything, it's God promise, make footprints. Amen. "Every place that the sole
of your foot sets, that have I given you for a possession." God promised it, God keeps His Word. God's Word is everlasting
truth. I believe it; you believe it. Brothers, it's time for us to make
footprints.
We can't stay right
here in this same camp; the fire's a moving on. Let's move on from glory to
glory, from Bible
experience to Bible experience. Let's unfold and open up our
hearts, raise up our hands to God, keep sane. Stay in the Bible; don't get
outside of that; stay right there. Follow...
We've got the prophet
of God; we've got the Word of God, and we've got the Angel of God. He's a
leading this Church just exactly like He led in them days. That's exactly
right. The Word of God is before us, and the Prophet of God is the Holy Spirit;
the Angel of God is leading the Church. We're moving in the Pillar of Fire, in
the glory of God, setting together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
Now we are sons and
daughters of God, and the great
revelation of the Word of the Holy Spirit sinks it into the hearts and bringing
forth the trees of salvation, righteous living, love, joy, peace, long-suffering, goodness,
gentleness, patience. Sure it is. It just
only won't happen to a Branham Tabernacle, or to another tabernacle; it happens to individuals.
If the whole Branham Tabernacle gets together in that one
accord, the whole thing will be moving in one big unit for God. But if there's
only one in that Branham Tabernacle moving like that, God will move with that
one. And only one way to do it; that's
fall in line with it, march right on. Blessed be the Name of the Lord. God
keeps His Word. Why those fellows said,
"We can't do that. We can't have a revival over there.
Everything's against us." Oh, my. "The Amorites are there, and
oh, the Herites, and all those are all walled up; we look like grasshoppers." But little old
Joshua, about forty years old, beating hisself in the chest and Caleb saying...
Caleb standing there saying... Caleb said, "You know what? We are more than able to
do it." Oh, brother, a
little bitty hook nosed Jew standing there, bouncing up-and-down, saying,
"We're more than able. We're not only able, but we're more than
able." Why? God said so. That settles it.
55 Palmerworm, Locust and
Caterpillar 59-0823 The other day I was talking, and we were
thinking of Scripture. I said, "Why
can't people see that?" I said, "There it is," and I happened to think. I don't care
how clear it is, how much the Scripture teaches it, you'll never be able to see
it until God Himself shows it to you. I don't care
how clear it is.
And the whole Bible is built, and the whole Church of the living
God is built upon a spiritual revelation of the
Word. Why did Abel offer a more excellent sacrifice than Cain?
Why didn't Abel follow Cain? He had the most beautiful church? But it was revealed to him. When Jesus came
from Mount Transfiguration, and they... Said, "Who does man say I the Son of man am?"
"One said 'Elias,' and one said You're the prophet, and so
forth."
He said, "But who do you say I am?" Peter said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." He said, "Blessed art thou, Simon, the son of Jonas, for
flesh and blood never revealed this to you.
You never learned it with some books, or by some seminary, or some station of
manmade scheme. But My Father in heaven
has revealed that to you, and upon this rock I'll build My Church, and the
gates of hell cannot prevail against it."
There you are: spiritual revelation of the Word of God.
E-64 Identification
63-0123 But now, looky here. What it is, is the spiritual revelation of the Word of
God, that everything else is wrong
but that Word, and you believe it. He was the Word, and He is the Word, and
He'll always be the Word. And when God
can open that channel, then He can flow freely through that sanctified
body.
And we showed you how the apostle
Paul told us it will be that way. That when God comes down he will show us how
everything outside His word is wrong. “Let every mans word
be a lie, and mine be true saith the Lord.”
306 Harvest Time 64-1212 By revelation of the Word, God's Word before It was even written,
"Abel by faith offered unto
God a more excellent sacrifice than that of Cain, which testified that he was
righteous," the Word reflecting Itself through him
by his offering.
74 Communion 62-0204 We see that the astronomers are predicting,
sometime in this early part or the first part of the month, beginning on the
second or the fifth, or somewhere along this month, the Indian astronomers
predict the world to blow to pieces. And the American newspapers make fun of
it. I do not believe the world's going to blow to pieces, but I do say it's
wrong to make fun of it.
Because something's fixing to happen one of these days,
something similar to that, when the five planets, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus, and
so forth comes into their... They never
have did it. Oh, they claim maybe twenty-five thousand years ago, but who
was back there to know it? I predict
that this has a spiritual application. I believe it's the coming in of the
issue of God, that the great revelation of the Word will be opened during this
time.
Remember, they claim it
was three stars came into the orbit when Jesus was born. And this is five,
and five is grace, the number of grace.
Three is the number of perfection. Five is the number of grace: J-e-s-u-s,
g-r-a-c-e, f-a-i-t-h, so forth, number of grace. God ever sends His power to the church, it'll be His grace; it won't be
the obedience of the people.
And Isaiah said in the 40th chapter, how to cry to Jerusalem, that her warfare was over,
yet she was guilty of idolatry, but it was God's grace that was sending it. God
sends anything to us, it'll be His grace and not our merits. So it may mean something. I predict that there will be a change.
I don't know what it'll be, but I believe it's fixing to happen. We're right on
the eve of it now.
Sure that was in 1962 and the very
next year 1963 came the revelation of the seven seals.
288-1 {64} The Fourth Seal 63-0321 Now, the power of revelation brings stimulation to the believer,
for the power of wine, natural wine is to stimulate. See? It's to bring a person that's all slumped down to a
stimulation. See, see?
Well then, now there's a power of the revelation of the
Word gives stimulation of joy to the believer, stimulation of
satisfaction, the stimulation that it's vindicated, it's proved. It's
called in the Scripture, as we want to refer to it, as new wine. We always
refer to it like that as "These are drunk on new wine," (See?), all
right, or spiritual wine. I think the best interpretation would be--would be on
spiritual wine.
41 His Unfailing Words of
Promise 64-0120 Each
age has had its allotment of Word to be fulfilled. God always sends a
prophet. The Word comes to the prophet, the
written Word, a Discerner of the thoughts of the heart. Did you always notice? The prophet, being that he knowed that
he was a prophet, is because that the Word of God discerns the thought that's
in the heart, foretells things, forth-teller and teller-forth.
Did you ever take the dictionary, the old Hebrew dictionary, and
see what the word "seer" means? It's the one that has the Divine
revelation of the written Word. And how it's vindicated, he foresees things
that he foretells, and they come to pass.
Now, how does that type in with the Scripture? Just exactly.
"If there be one among you, who's spiritual or a prophet, I the Lord
will make Myself known to him, speak to him in visions. And if these things
comes to pass, then it's God. If they don't come to pass, then don't hear him;
don't fear him at all, but just ignore it."
But God's Word is always right.
Therefore, that's how they knew of the man that was speaking, whether he had the right revelation of the
Word or not. The Divine Word that's written, is because he had the Word of the Lord come to him.
Now, we stay there; we place ourselves
and our confidence upon this Word.
25-1 It is the Rising of
the Sun 65-0418M Upon this Rock I'll build My church; the gates of hell can't prevail
against It. And I give unto thee the keys. Whatever you bind on earth, I'll bind
it in heaven; what you loose on earth...'"
That's that Divine revelation of the
Word made flesh. If it was flesh in that day by the Son, the Groom, it's of
flesh today by the Bride.
164 God of this Evil Age 65-0801M As She is part of the
Groom, true to Him in every point, waiting the Wedding, uniting, not at the
ecumenical council, but in the sky, the wedding supper. She has been given
(This is for our own church.) She has been given and revealed to Her the Seven Sealed mysteries of the Bible.
She sees the folly of the deceiver, so very close to the Truth
that almost deceive the Elected; She sees it.
She… See the two opposing spirits
at work in this evil age? Can you see it? Each very religious, Cain and Abel, spirits again coming to their
heads, still same as they started: one worshipping by beauty, and by knowledge,
and by education, and by science, and by ethics; and the other one by faith of
the revelation of the Word of God. Both of them is standing right in this
building this morning. That's right.
E-40 What does it take to
make a Christian Life? 57-0113 May you take me to record this morning,
friend. There isn't enough power in all hell can ever defeat the purpose of
God. God will do it anyhow.
23-3 Invisible Union of
the Bride 65-1125 You can't be virtuous to Christ,
the Word of God, and serve a manmade denomination at the same time.
It's contrary to the Word. Paul said here. "Where about?" Romans 7. Neither can you bare God's sons of His Word
to this illegitimate denominational group. You cannot do it. In your incubator
you cannot bring forth a Word son of God. I'm speaking to the church.
But still you claim to be
very religious. So was Cain, the
prostitute Eve's, son: very religious, built altars, and offered sacrifice, and
paid his tithes, and done everything that any other religious man would do; but
he failed to keep that Word. He failed
to have the revelation. And the
revelation is the only thing: the revelation of the Word.
What is a revelation? Jesus said, "Upon this Rock I'll
build My church, and the gates of hell can't prevail against it." Faith is a revelation, because faith has been revealed to you. Abel, by faith offered by revelation
(faith) offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than that of Cain.
70 The Rapture 65-1204 Cain and Abel didn't have a Bible to read, but it was revealed to Abel by faith, which is
a revelation. Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than that of
Cain, which God testified that he was righteous. When Jesus was asked here in Matthew 16:17 and 18...
We haven't time to read it, but if you want to write it down. He
said, "Who does man say I, the Son of man, am?" One of them said,
"You're Moses, Elias, or
someone." He said, "But who do you say I am?" He said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." He said, "Blessed art thou, Simon, son of Jonas, for flesh and blood has not
revealed this to you; My Father which is in heaven has revealed this to you.
Upon this rock..."
The spiritual
revelation of Who God is, Who Jesus is, and He is the revelation of God, God
made in flesh and revealed to the world. He was in the world; God was in Christ
reconciling the world to Himself, revealing what God was in a body of flesh. "Thou art the Christ, the
Anointed One, the Son of God."
He said, "Flesh and blood never
revealed this to you, but My Father which is in heaven has revealed this to
you. Upon this rock, I'll build My church
(the revelation of the Word in It's
season)--I'll build My church and
the gates of hell cannot prevail against it."
The Book of the
Revelation is the last Book of the Bible. It's sealed to unbelievers. In there the Bible says in the 22nd
chapter, "Whosoever shall take one word from It or add one word to It, I'll
take his part from the Book of Life."
We realize that then It was altogether given for believers.
And it opens the Book of
Revelation and reveals Who the Author of this entire Book is (He's to look
upon as Alpha and Omega, from Genesis to Revelations, Jesus Christ just the
same right straight through), and reveals His complete mystery of Himself and
His plans for His church ages that's to come, and was sealed in there by seven
seals.
Now, the Book was written, but then remember, It was sealed with
seven seals. And these seven seals was not to be opened, Revelations 10, until the sounding of the last earthly angel on earth, Revelations 10:7. See? "And in the days of the sounding of the last angel's Message, seventh
angel, the mystery of God should be finished in that age." That's... And that's the age that we're living
in. We all know we're
living the Laodicea age. There will never be another age to it; it can't be.
So we're living in the Laodicea age, and these seven seals
that's held that Book is a mystery to people, should be open at that day.
That's what He promised. Now, it won't be nothing outside the Word, because you
can't add to the Word or take from the Word. It's got to remain always the
Word. But the revelation is to reveal
the Truth of It, what It is, to make It fit with the rest of the Scripture.
And then God vindicates that to be the Truth.
309 Harvest Time 64-1212 Riches, Laodicea, great name, great person,
rich. "But dead, and naked, and don't know it." That's what the
church age ended in. But she denies the
Word. To make Matthew 24:24 real to her, she
tries to move in with a lot of noise, and a lot of this, and a lot of social
standings, and things like this, trying to say, "Well, we got power. Glory
to God. Hallelujah. We got power."
Having a form of
godliness, but denying the power thereof,
so
close that it would deceive the very elected... How can a man dance in the Spirit and speak in tongues, and deny
the Word of God being the Truth, and be the Holy Ghost? It just can't be
done. Every Word... God says one thing, that's just
exactly what He means. Don't interpret It no other way. The
Bible says that It's of no private interpretation.
Say it the way He said It.
E-50 Identification
63-0123 We are
invited to shape our own character to His by His grace. We are invited
(Think of it.) to become characters like
His, if we're ready to lay our character down and the molding that we had:
"heady,
high-minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God, false accusers and
incontinent, despisers of those that are trying to do right, having a form of
godliness and denying the power of the Word"...
How can God come into
a place like that when they deny the Word?
When He watches over His Word to
vindicate It, to make it come to pass, and the Word is pushed out, how
can He identify Himself with something like that?.”
Let us pray…
