Satans Eden no 40

Faith and the Power of Revelation part 1

April 10, 2022

Brian Kocourek, Pastor

 

2 Corinthians 4:1   Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2  But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.  

 

3  But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:  In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5  For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

 

6  For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.  7  But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

 

2 Corinthians 3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.

 

This morning I would like to continue with our study from Satan’s Eden, this is number 40 in our series from this Message of Brother Branham’s and I would like to continue examining brother Branham’s thoughts from paragraph 

 

19 That deceitfulness of the church of today... See, the son of perdition, the devil, the son of perdition, the devil... Then people worshipping Satan in this day, thinking they're worshipping God... But they're worshipping him through a creed, a manmade denominations and creeds that's brought the people right down to the greatest deception that the world has ever knowed of.

 

No matter how much the Word of God promised for this day, is preached and vindicated, they still won't believe It. They won't believe It. Then why? We wonder why. Why doesn't it... Why won't they believe It, when God said He would do a certain thing, and He does it; and still they turn their back from it, and turn away from it?

 

Just as Eve knew that what God said, God would do; but she turned her back on it to listen to what he had to say. Just remember, in other ages, it's always been the same thing. In every age it's always been that Satan tries to pervert that Word to them, making them see some other age.


20 Look, when Jesus come... See, Satan was in that bunch of Jewish teachers and rabbis and priests, trying to tell them to keep the Law of Moses, when the very Word said, that in that day, the Son of man would be revealed (See?), that He would reveal Himself.

 

So they was trying... As long as they kept them religious and on the Law of Moses... See what he did? He was trying to tell, "That part of the Word is just exactly right, but this man isn't that person." See how deceiving he is? That's that real day of deception.


In Satans Eden pp. 21 brother Branham said, “It's been, and now is, Satan establishing his kingdom in the earth. That's exactly why he's doing it, 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. And that's why Satan's done this. And he's worked through the ministry to do it, as God promised He would do.

 

22 Now, he began by a religious deceit in Eden and has continued ever since, not by setting up a bunch of Communists. Communists has nothing to do with this. It's the church that's where you have to watch. See? It's not the Communists that will deceive the very elected; it's the church that will deceive the very elected. See? It isn't Communists. We know they deny God, and they're antichrist.

 

 Sure they are in principle, but they are not the antichrist. The antichrist is religious, very religious and can quote the Scripture, and make it look so plain, as Satan did back there in the beginning. He quoted everything right down... God has said, "Thou shalt not eat every tree of the garden,"

 

See? Pulled around...She said, "Yes, we may eat of all the trees of the garden, but there's a tree in the midst of the garden that God said not to eat for, not even touch it, because the day we did, that day we'd die."

 

I think that of all subject matter with the exception of understanding the major Bible doctrines of this hour, Godhead, Parousia, Twins and Alpha and Omega, I have spoken more on three minor subjects.

 

One: being the naked condition of the Laodicean people. Not just physical improper dress, but their minds are completely naked in the sense that they are void of all truth, and stripped clean of Holy Ghost thinking.

 

Two:  showing the Blind condition of these same people, Religious yet eyes that see but cannot perceive what they see, and ears that can listen to tapes yet have no clue what they just heard. So the blindness is of the heart, of the understanding. As Paul said in 1 Corinthians 2 no man can understand the things of God except the Spirit of God be in him.

 

Three: showing the mental condition of these people where brother Branham said because they don’t even know their condition, that they are naked and blind, it shows that they are either mentally deficient or they are devil possessed. So let’s read again from this paragraph and see what else Brother Branham has to say here.

 

In his sermon Christ revealed in His own Word  65-0822M  P:114 [159] brother Branham said,  “In the Laodicean age the people were what? Naked (Are they?), blind. What good does light do to a blind man? 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.(

 

Now, notice this mental condition he just mentioned, and yet the apostle Paul told us their minds would be so twisted because there will be more information available in this hour than in any other age, as we read in 2 Tim 3: 4-5

 

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 ...( now brother Branham quoted from this Scripture and then focused on what that denying the power really is.

 

having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof, then brother Branham says, The power of revelation, they don't even believe in it. See?”)...

 

Now, we spoke several times a month ago on this blind condition of the people and we have shown you that the eye-salve that God wants us to apply is a special anointing oil to the eyes of our heart, which means that we must apply this anointing oil to the eyes of our understanding. And that anointing oil is the Holy Ghost Itself.

 

In examining the Scriptures we find that the anointing oil was given for the purpose of sanctifying the one who is anointed by it. We also find that this anointing oil has a certain power to it, the power to know all things, And so we see Faith, which is revelation is the special anointing that comes from God, it has power that allows us to be justified, sanctified, and given a new birth.

 

In fact we find in Scripture that without this anointing oil, This Faith, which is revelation, which makes us Holy, we find according to scripture that without it we could never see God, for “without Faith, which is revelation no man can please God, Heb 11:6. And without the cleansing of the heart by the washing of water by the Word, No man could be cleansed and thus Holy in His Sight. “and without Holiness, no man shall see the Lord. Heb 12:14

 

Therefore we must be able to understand the importance of the eye-salve which is revelation or faith that God has given to us that we might recognize Him and His Presence in this hour. We know also that this eye-salve has power to give sight, to justify, to sanctify, and to give new Life. Therefore, this power of Revelation, this Power of Faith, is a very important thing for us to understand and therefore,  and I would like to continue this morning with examining these thoughts on the power of Revelation.

 

Now, if we believe that Alpha has become Omega, then we should be able to see what has happened in this hour is only a repeat of what happened in Paul’s day. Therefore let’s turn in our Bibles to Acts 26 to see from Paul’s own testimony to King Agrippa how His Life was changed by the Power of Revelation.

 

Acts 26:1-19Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:  I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews:

 

3 Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.  My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;

 

5 Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee. 6 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers: 7  Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.  

 

8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?  I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth. 10  Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them.

 

11 And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities. 12  Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests, 13  At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.

 

14  And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 15  And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.

 

16  But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; 17  Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,

 

18  To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. 19  Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:

 

Now, notice the last few words that Paul quoted Jesus. Now, Jesus said, that they would be turned from the Power of Satan to the Power of God and that this power, this faith, This Revelation that was in Jesus would bring them to a place of Justification, sanctification, and inheritance.

 

Furthermore, this Faith has power as we see its effect that it has on us at the end time.

 

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, and we see the cloud and the seven angels that came to us and opened the seven sealed mysteries of this Bible further revealing what day we are living in.

 

Notice this revealing of Christ, this Revelation, totally changes the way we have perceived things. It takes us from being troubled on every hand to a being at rest. That’s what the promise is. “you who are troubled rest with us”.

 

Just look around you and notice that the people who are the furthest away from God in their thinking, specifically the blue states governors and mayors are the most fearful of everything. And these people then, use what authority they have to completely lock down and totally control everything around them.

 

You may recall in October 2019 through December 2019, we spoke on the conditions at the end time and the end time insanity which would come in the form of an end time neurosis which begins with anxiety, worrying about what might happen, and that worry because you focus on it, leads you into a compulsive behavior trying to prevent what you think might happen.

 

Well, the natural flow of things would have it that your compulsive behavior leads to obsessive behavior where you are totally absorbed in your own crusade to overcome what you think will take place but actually has not taken place as yet. But by seeing the hand writing on the wall, you become obsessed with it.

 

Then your obsession leads to fear, (phobia), and fear (phobia) leads to depression and because you are depressed, your depression leads to distancing yourself from all others, which is disassociation, and disassociation leads total conversion which means you have become a total neurotic, which is insanity.

 

Now, let’s skip ahead to verses 2 Thessalonians 1:10-12 1”When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

 

So Paul tells us here that there will come a time, in the last days, at the revealing of the son of Man, that Christ in that day will be glorified in his saints, and his testimony which are his epistles will be believed in that day. Now, we know this being glorified is to be endoxazo which means the doxa of God will be manifested in our Zoe. That is the breakdown of that word.

 

And of course we know the doxa of god, is his opinions, values, and judgments. Thus he is speaking of the very mind of God in the people at the revelation of Christ. So just look at the power of this revelation.

 

In verse 11  he says, 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 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.

 

Now, this power of Faith not only gives us a living hope, but it also keeps us and preserves us. And without this protective power of faith we could never receive our inheritance which is eternal, because our inheritance would outlast us. And that’s the problem with man.

 

Men out-live their inheritance by being foolish, and not understanding how it was created in the first place, and then kept for him. So most men who’ve worked hard to lay up for their children, by the third generation much of what was created in terms of wealth is wasted and lost forever, because the same principles that created it were not kept alive in the family.

 

But with God, He promised us an “inheritance that is incorruptible and that fadeth not away.” Now man himself fades away and all that he has in his earthly possession fades away. “The moth eateth and the rust corrupteth and man to whom the inheritance is given perishes himself.

 

But we are promised an inheritance that will never fade away, and therefore we too must be kept by this same power from fading away,  that we might receive an inheritance that will last eternally and we along with it.  So we are looking at this power of Faith, the Power of Revelation that brother Branham said the people today do not believe in.

 

Now, as I said this faith which is a revelation has a power which we have seen in operation throughout the years but which we understand very little about. 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 a 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 ailment they’ve had. I’ve seen tumors removed from a man’s chest, I’ve seen cancers depart from a brother in the church years back, and even my own sister.

 

I’ve witnessed the power of faith and witnessed how it took a man who was paralyzed and he was able to walk again. I’ve seen a little girl with leukemia made whole and given an opportunity to live a complete life that she might live it for Christ. I’ve seen a babies hip that was born out of joint come together, and I’ve seen the power of faith heal my own back that had been broken in two places suddenly made whole.

 

We are witnesses to the power of Faith in our everyday lives and we have personally witnessed many times the power of Faith not only in the healing our bodies, but in the power to control nature, weather, storms, heat waves, turning of tornadoes, drought, and so many, many testimonies of what God will do if we have faith to believe Him and His Word.  

 

And beyond that we have also witnessed what the effectual fervent prayer of a rightly-wise  man can do even as we read about Elijah praying for rain and it rained, we have see the power of Faith for our very own selves and we have seen the power of faith turn the weather condition, and give hot water through pipes which had no heat nor source of heat.

 

We’ve seen nature turned upside down and the laws of physic made of no effect by this thing called the power of Faith. And now in the Faith chapter of Hebrews, chapter 11 we see that the very worlds which we live were created by Faith. So no one can tell me that Faith does not have power. Faith itself is the releasing of the power of God Himself, the Great Creator. [Hebrews 11:3]

 

Now, I would like to stop for a moment this morning and just look at the power of Faith, and to do so let’s examine the Faith Chapter in Hebrews which is chapter 11, and we will close by reading each verse to see how power was displayed in each of the examples that are shown to us of how Faith produced something by this power.

 

Hebrews 11:1  Now faith (by Revelation and the power of Revelation) is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Here we see that Faith is not a philosophy, but is actually a substance and Faith. Revelation itself is actually an evidence.

 

Hebrews 11:2 For by it (by Revelation and the power of Revelation) the elders obtained a good report. By it the elders obtained something. And that something led to other something’s, for that something was a good report, and a good report lead others who to also believe because of that report. So you see the power of life in that power of faith, that power of revelation.

 

Hebrews 11:3 Through faith (through Revelation and the power of Revelation)we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Notice that God Himself even created the worlds using this power of Faith. So if God had to use it, what about us?

 

4  By faith (by Revelation and the power of Revelation)Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. The power of faith  makes us rightly wise and gives us an understanding which goes beyond mere mortal reasoning.

 

In I John 2:20 we read, But ye have an unction (anointing) from the Holy One, and as a result of this anointing, ye know all things. 

 

Now let’s read verse 1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

 

And the apostle Paul speaks of this anointing which comes by God revealing His Word to us in 1 Corinthians 2:10  But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

 

11  For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God knows.  So in verse 12 Paul tells us that in order to know, God then will give us His Spirit and when we have his spirit we will understand the things of God.

 

12  Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but we have received the spirit which is of God; in order that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13  Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. You see God gives us his Spirit in order for us to know the things of  God.


14  But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15  But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16  For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. He that is spirit filled also judges all things by Gods Word.

 

Now, back to Hebrews 11:5  By faith Enoch was translated (by Revelation enock was translated, caught up to be with God) that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. If revelation produced a translation or catching away for Enoch, then what will produce ours at the last trump? If revelation brought forth a translation and a Rapture for Enoch, then it must do so for us as well. The power of revelation.

 

6  But without faith (without revelation) it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Faith never says, I know God can do it but will He do it for me. That is not Revelation. Without revelation we cannot please God, so in a positive sense it tells us that Faith not only pleases God, but the Power of Faith also allows us to believe and not the other way around.

 

 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. The power of revelation has power to warn us of things coming in the future. It warned us well in advance that the germ warfare was coming and not to go along with the narrative and get poisoned. Revelation in God’s word is what warned us, hallelujah, and it has sustaining power.

 

That is called applying the token, applying the revelation to our daily life. Some people believe that the tapes themselves is the token. Brother Branham never preached that. What good is the tape to someone without the Holy Ghost? If you have no revelation of what is on those tapes then what good can they do.

 

One brother actually said, “I don’t care what’s on those tapes, I believe them anyhow.” How can you believe something you don’t even know what it is? How anyone claim to believe the Message and “I do not care what is on those tapes.” It’s not the tape itself, the tape I just man made materials.

 

On those tapes is the Instruction from the lord who descended with a shout. To say that “you could care less what is on it,” shows you are not interested in the Voice, only the tape itself, the materials in it, and you must not have any revelation of what God had His prophet instruct us. .

 

Remember, we read for our text from Satans Eden pp. 21 where brother Branham said, “It's been, and now is, Satan establishing his kingdom in the earth. That's exactly why he's doing it, 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. And that's why Satan's done this. And he's worked through the ministry to do it, as God promised He would do.

 

8  By faith  ((by Revelation and the power of Revelation)) Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. The power of faith calls us and directs us to our inheritance



9  By faith ((by Revelation and the power of Revelation)) he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: ]  The power of Faith keeps and preserves you and it keeps alive the hope that it gives you.

 

10  For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. By the power of Faith and revelation we are able to see the works of God and the things which He has done for us. He knew what to look for.

 

11  Through faith (through Revelation and the power of Revelation) ) also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised. It gives us strength and ability to receive New Life and a new birth even when our flesh does not look like it wants to cooperate or is too weak to cooperate.


12  Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable. And through the power of Faith and revelation it brings forth a multiplication of the blessings which  we receive through it.


13  These all died in faith, (in Revelation and by the power of Revelation) not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. by Revelation and the power of Revelation) keeps us going and persuades and brings forth a confession which is an ability to say the same thing. And you could never say the same thing unless you had an understanding  of the thing you were talking about.


14  For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. Revelation and the power of Revelation keeps you focused.


15  And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. If they had taken their eyes from Faith (from Revelation and the power of Revelation), the power would have left.


16  But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. Revelation and the power of Revelation brings them to  the place of not being ashamed and God wanting to identify and lay claim to them.


17  By faith (by Revelation and the power of Revelation) Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, It carries you through the trials and testings.


18  Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: And Revelation and the power of Revelation brings a purpose and focus to our tests.


19  Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure. And Revelation and the power of Revelation doesn’t even look at the test but at the promise showing the strength of the power.


20  By faith (by Revelation and the power of Revelation) Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. Revelation and the power of Revelation allows for us to see things to come and to accept already the blessings of those things  not yet come to pass.


21  By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff. Revelation and the power of Revelation allows us to bless and worship God.

22  By faith (by Revelation and the power of Revelation) Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones. Revelation and the power of Revelation directs us for our future. Why did He want His bones sent back to the Promised land?


23  By faith (by Revelation and the power of Revelation) Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment. Notice again how they just knew and foresaw things to come by Revelation and the power of Revelation. Revelation and the power of Revelation therefore gives us direction and insight.

 

24  By faith (by Revelation and the power of Revelation) Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; Revelation and the power of Revelation brings forth a true identity, and helps us to manifest in our true identity.


25  Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;  Again we see how Revelation and the power of Revelation gives us power to look past the tests


26  Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. (Revelation and the power of Revelation brings us respect for God’s plans


27  By faith (Revelation and the power of Revelation) he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. Revelation and the power of Revelation brings us to the place of having no fear.


28  Through (by Revelation and the power of Revelation) faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. Revelation and the power of Revelation gives us power to keep the commands of God.


29  By faith (by Revelation and the power of Revelation) they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned. Revelation and the power of Revelation conquers the laws of physics and of nature, and allows us to walk contrary to those  laws in keeping God’s Word.


30  By faith (by Revelation and the power of Revelation) the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days. Revelation and the power of Revelation gives you peace which could not be had otherwise in your situation or circumstances.


31  By faith (by Revelation and the power of Revelation) the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace. Revelation and the power of Revelation will keep you from perishing, and will bring you peace. John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.


32  And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:  Revelation and the power of Revelation gave Gedeon the strength and courage to fight a fight no one wanted to help in.

 

Revelation and the power of Revelation gave Barak was given strength for deliverance of his people. Revelation and the power of Revelation gave Sampson, the strength and ability to stand alone against the enemy.

 

Revelation and the power of Revelation gave Jephtha the power to perseverance and restoration of his right position after being rejected he came back as their king.

 

Revelation and the power of Revelation gave David although a rejected king, yet he loved Revelation and the power of Revelation and it given him great power to slay the enemy.

 

Through Revelation and the power of Revelation Samuel was able to walk alone and never waver in his commitment toward God


33  Who through faith (by revelation, and the power of revelation, for with it they) subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, All of this was done through the power of revelation.


34  (by revelation, and look at the power of revelation, for with it they) Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. Again, all of this was done through the power of revelation.


35  Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: Revelation and the power of Revelation raises the dead, endures hardships, and keeps you focused.


36  And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: Revelation and the power of Revelation keeps you focused through all your trials.


37  They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; Revelation and the power of Revelation keeps you focused through rejection, hate crimes, and torment.


38  (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. Revelation and the power of Revelation energized them to keep moving forward


39  And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: Revelation and the power of Revelation  gave them Energy to keep moving forward regardless of the present circumstances.


40  God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

Revelation and the power of Revelation provides us an assurance of our end from the beginning.

 

Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, Revelation and the power of Revelation is given to us as well.

 

Hebrews 12: Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Revelation and the power of Revelation will keep us focused as well

 

We see in the Book of Romans that Faith and the power of revelation is the Supreme Gift of God,

 

Romans 5:2Therefore being justified by faith, (by Revelation and the power of Revelation) we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:  By whom also we have access by faith (by Revelation and the power of Revelation) into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4  And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5  And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

 

Romans 4:16 Therefore it is of faith, (by Revelation and the power of Revelation)  that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith (by Revelation and the power of Revelation) of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

 

We can’t say we believe and therefore we have Faith, for Faith is a Revelation, and believing is just being able to read.

 

Token the 63-0901M P:103 Don't just come this far, say, "I believe the message." You obey the message. Come into Christ. You say, "Oh, I believe every word you said, Brother Branham."That's good. but that's just being able to read. Take the Message; take it into your heart, that you must have the Token, the very Life that was in Christ, be in you. "When I see that, I will pass over you."

 

Romans 5:3-5 “And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;  And patience, experience; and experience, hope:  And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

 

So without faith and the power of revelation we could never be justified, and if never justified, then how could we be sanctified, and if never sanctified, then how could it ever be possible that God would place His Holy Spirit in an unholy vessel.

 

In fact Brother Branham told us that God will never place His Spirit in an unholy vessel.  So we see then this hope makes us not ashamed. And the reason we are not ashamed is because we have been justified which came by Faith which is a revelation.

 

This revelation opened up to us and gave access to us of the Grace of God, which then brings us into a peaceful relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ who is the Judge. This Peace with God then brings us into a life which is dedicated and consecrated and is sanctified which then opens the door for the indwelling of God’s Spirit which is Holy.

 

Luke 21:27  And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

How shall we se it? By Faith and the power of revelation we will not only see him coming with this power of revelation, but we will see that He comes with His great doxa. And not only by faith do we see it, but by faith we received it.

 

And never forget, Hebrews 11: 1 tells us that Faith is the substance, The Greek word is hupostasis but in Hebrews 1:3 we are told what that substance or hupostasis is.  Who being the brightness of his (God’s) glory, (God’ doxa) and the express image of his person, (God’s hupostasis) and upholding all things by the word of his power, (God’s Power which is the power of Gods Revelation) when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

 

So seeing God created the world by the power of Revelation in His own Word, and has given us the power of revelation, creative power and through that creative power of revelation we have seen what all those believers who were mentioned in Hebrews 11 used that power to create for themselves.

 

Let us pray…
