Organizational Seed or Word Life Seed

Brian Kocourek, Pastor

April 28, 2010

175 For as Eddie Perronett said, "On Christ the solid Rock I stand; all other grounds is sinking sand." And Christ is the Word. "In the beginning..." And what is it? Every word brings forth... Every seed brings forth of its kind. The denominational seed will bring forth of its kind. The Pentecostal organization will bring forth of its kind. The Baptists will bring forth of its kind. What is it? Organization, constantly, constantly. We're going to show this afternoon, God willing, how them started, and what caused it, and where the Bible said they would, and how they'll end up, exactly what'll be the end.

Notice brother Branham mentions the Pentecostals and the Baptists. I believe he did this because they are the two most prominent forms of Protestantism today, and the Pentecostals represent those Christians with a Pentecostal or gifts oriented belief, and the Baptists represent the evangelicals or fundamentalist Christians. So you have both kinds of seeds Pentecostal and Evangelical and he says both are the same kind of seed, they are Organization Seed.

Now, this ties directly to the parable Jesus told us in MATTHEW 13:24 ¶ Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit,then appeared the tares also. 27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? From whence then, hath it tares? 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

Notice Jesus points out the fact that two very different types of life (seed) will be planted alongside of each other in the same field. The field represents the world, and the sowing is done first by the owner of the field, and then his enemy comes into his field and imitates his sowing, but with a different life (seed).

The facts of this parable are as follows:

1. There is one field that the seed is placed; ie, a woman, we are husbandry,

2. There are two sewers, or sources of seed the owner of the field, and his enemy.

3. There are two seeds sown, identifying two different life forms and natures.

Wheat and tares.

4. The tare seed is an intrusion but is allowed to grow up alongside of the wheat until the harvest, for the sake of the wheat, until the wheat is mature enough to withstand a separation.

5. Separation warfare always

6. There is to be a binding and bundling of these tares.

7. The tares are destined for burning.

8. The Wheat is to be gathered but not bundled and is to be placed in the storehouse of the owner.

Notice the two seeds are allowed to grow up side by side until the time of the harvest. Then a separation is to take place. First there will be a gathering together of the seed, which the enemy sowed. The Tares will begin to gather together first.

Jesus uses the word "deo" in describing this binding together. The word actually means to bind by placing under obligation. Now, this binding is needed in order to control the assembly of tares. And by placing the people under obligations, which take them from the word, we see that organization has bound the people, keeping them from searching further for more light than what is available in their church. This is done through programs… Look at every big church and you will see that the people are not content to come and here the minister preach, but you will find many programs going on in those churches. The larger the congregation, the more programs to keep the people content.

After the tares are bound, Jesus tells us they are then placed into bundles. Now in using the word bundle, Jesus is telling us that there is a certain characteristic concerning the binding together. Although the word for bundle, is a word which can mean "binding," Jesus used two different words in describing the process which is to take place.

He says the reapers will bind them into bundles. He never said into one bundle, but into bundles. Thus we see the word "bundles" further defines the process that these tares must go through, before they are ready for the burning. They are bound first and then bundled. The use of the plural tells us that there will be many different bundles, just as we see there are many different denominations. They are gathered first. This gathering could suggest a very loose coming together, but by adding the word bundle to further define the binding process, Jesus shows us "form and symmetry" and "purpose" will be involved in how they will be presented for the burning.

A bundle is not just a rag-tag collection of sticks thrown together in any old direction. But a bundle suggests to us that all the tares in each bundle will be lined up together, all going in the same direction. Their Union into a bundle or (assembly) will make them, "a more efficient means," by which to burn them all.

And so we see how organization, is the means by which the tares are gathered and assembled together. The church is bound first by a false word, and then by organizing around that false word, they assemble the people into a more efficient, and profitable means by which the whole group can be readied for the burning.

Thus we should see clearly that the False-Vine is the organized church. For organization is what binds them together. Then, if this be so, one of the main attributes of the false vine will be its ability to organize in numbers and thus utilize efficiencies to preach their false Gospel.

Now a bundle does not represent a loose knit organization, but one, which has structure and symmetry. Every stick is heading in the same direction, and they are there for the same purpose, and they must conform to some standard in order to fit within the bundle. Now, let's see if this is not exactly the picture Jesus Himself speaks of concerning the two seeds.

Brother Branham said from the Christ revealed in His own Word 65-0822M P:58 Notice, just as soon as it was organized, it died. Now, just see if that isn't right. Look back through the pages of history. Every time it organized it died right there; there never was no more to it. It become a--a worshipper of the god of this world. It went off into organisms, and organizations, and denominations, and illusions. A bunch of Rickys got into there and put their own objections into it, or injected their own thoughts, rather, into it. And what did it happen? It become a mess. Going to head up in the god of this world where they'll enthrone Satan himself, thinking that they're having a great world leader to bring them peace.

So we see that when any church organizes that shows the Life has left it. The word organization means A group united by a common purpose or interest: · association · club · confederation And isn’t that what brother Branham said most churches today were? He called them social clubs.

From His sermon called Seed not heir with shuck 65-0218 P:65 Brother Branham was talking about how that Sarah tried to make the promise happen by giving her concubine to Abraham, thinking that would fulfill the promise that God had made to Abraham. And that is how carnal believers always think. They do not trust for God to work out His Promises, because they really do not trust His Word. So they try to work them out for themselves and in doing so they always miss the promise.

That is what Brother Branham was saying in this sermon, Seed not heir with shuck 65-0218 P:65 How true it is, Sarah trying to get the promises all fulfilled (You see?), in a great, like the church today, a great revival in our time by what? By a perverted promise. How are you going to do it when God never did bless organizations. He never did use an organization. When a message went forth, and they organized, it died right there. I challenge any historian to show me where it ever raised again. It died right there and stayed right there. God just moved right on out of that carrier into another one, right on out of the Lutheran into the Methodist, right on out of the Methodist into the Pentecostals. Now, He's moved right on out of the Pentecostals into the Seed, because it has to be the Seed. You can't beat nature. There's no nothing else there for it to happen but the Seed. So the Seed will produce Itself, He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, the same Pillar of Fire, showing the same signs, the same power, the same God, the same miracles, the same things. Vindicated the Word and the Bible just exactly, He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. He's leading tonight. God help us to see it and believe it. Sure.

Again from his message Jehovah Jireh 61-0209 P:48 He said, What happened to Luther as soon as Luther saw the Pillar of Fire? Why, he followed It. But what did he do? After Luther's day, they organized a church called Lutheran. Then it died right there on the organization, 'cause it's just like the Catholic church. Then, the first thing you know, along come Wesley. The Pillar of Fire moved right out of the organization and went on. Wesley saw it, and away he went after it. And as soon as the first round died out, they organized it, called it the Wesleyan Methodist, or the Methodist church. When they organized it, it died right there. Then the Pentecostal seen it, going out, not from justification, under Luther, and sanctification under Wesley, but they saw the baptism of the Holy Ghost, back to the original blessing. Here they went after it (Oh, my.), went out and begin to speak with tongues and the power of God working through them. But what did they do? Organized it. It died right there. But now the Pillar of Fire is moving out. It's moving again. It'll never... 49 Never one time did an organization ever rise up that didn't die and never come back again. I challenge any historian.

And so you see, the minute men begin to talk of organizing the Message, right there they die. And the Pillar of Fire will move right on. And those who gravitate to organization this message will die spiritually and miss the Rapture. It will all be over very soon so be very careful not to organize what God is doing. Just let go and let God finish what He began. Now, let’s follow through with what brother Branham is saying here so you can see attributes and characteristics of organization.

Brother Branham continues, Jehovah Jireh 61-0209 P:49 49 I'll ask that man, or any other man, to ever show me one time that a church ever organized, but it didn't die and stay dead. It never did rise again in the history of the churches of the world: never did.

To organize is death, and to organize is no different than to denominate. To do so is to die spiritually. Even Jesus taught us that. He said those that organize are to be gathered for the burning. YOU don’t burn fresh green things. You burn old dried out things, whether wood or stalks, or husks, or whatever. Green shows life, and it does not burn easy. But that which is old and dried out burns quickly.

In his parable of the sower in MATTHEW 13:24 Jesus is quick to point out that there are two seeds, and one gravitates to the Word while the other towards organization.

MATTHEW 13:24 ¶ Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? From whence then, hath it tares? 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

Now if we are interested in the facts of this parable we see the following:

1. There is one field that the seed is placed; ie, a woman, we are husbandry,

2. There are two sewers, or sources of seed the owner of the field, and his enemy.

3. There are two seeds sown, identifying two different life forms and natures. Wheat and tares.

4. The tare seed is an intrusion but is allowed to grow up alongside of the wheat until the harvest, for the sake of the wheat, until the wheat is mature enough to withstand a separation.

5. Separation the warfare always Brings this

6. There is to be a binding and bundling of these tares.

7. The tares are destined for burning.

8. The Wheat is to be gathered but not bundled and is to be placed in the storehouse of the owner.

Notice two seeds are allowed to grow up side by side until the time of the harvest. Then a separation is to take place. First there will be a gathering together of the seed, which the enemy sowed. The Tares will begin to gather together first.

Jesus uses the word "deo" in describing this binding together. The word actually means “to bind by placing under obligation.” Now, this binding is needed in order to control the assembly of tares. And by placing the people under “obligation, or binding them through fear”, takes the people from having a focus on the Word, and turns them towards organization. So we see from this parable that organization binds the people, keeping them from searching further for more light than what is available in their church. This is done through programs. Look at every big church and you will see that the people are not content to come and hear the minister preach, but you will find many programs going on in those churches. The larger the congregation, the more programs to keep the people content.

He says the reapers will bind them into bundles. He never said into one bundle, but into bundles. Thus we see the word "bundles" further defines the process that these tares must go through, before they are ready for the burning. They are bound first and then bundled. The use of the plural tells us that there will be many different bundles, just as we see there are many different denominations. They are gathered first. This gathering could suggest a very loose coming together, but by adding the word bundle to further define the binding process, Jesus shows us "form and symmetry" and "purpose" will be involved in how they will be presented for the burning.

A bundle is not just a rag-tag collection of sticks thrown together in any old direction. But a bundle suggests to us that all the tares in each bundle will be lined up together, all going in the same direction, all the same value, measure or purpose. Their Union into a bundle or (assembly) will make them, "a more efficient means," by which to burn them all.

And so we see how organization is the means by which the tares are gathered and assembled together. The church is bound first by a false word, and then by organizing around that false word, they assemble the people into a more efficient, and profitable means by which the whole group can be readied for the burning. And thus when they have captured the minds of the people through fear or organization, they cause the people to receive in their mind a certain assessment, or a certain valuation, and that valuation or assessment is denomination. Thus we should see clearly that the False-Vine is the organized church. For organization is what binds them together. Then, if this be so, one of the main attributes of the false vine will be its ability to organize in numbers and thus utilize efficiencies to preach their false Gospel.

In paragraph 118 Lean not to Thy Own Understanding 65-0120, brother Branham said, You know, the Bible said you can believe a lie and be damned by it. See? That's exactly the truth. They form, no matter what the Word of God says, they lean to their own understanding. They lean on it; they believe it; they think it's the Truth. You can keep believing a lie over and over and over till it's the truth to you. That's right. But how do we know whether it's Truth or not? God proved it's Truth, 'cause it's in His Word and He a-vindicates It. He does His own interpretation of It. How do the get to this? They do it by their culture, their education, of their understandings of the degree of doctor's degree, and so forth, that they have come from some certain seminary and learned these things.

You’ve got to have light to have life. And in John 8:12Jesus said, Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. And again in John 1: 4 we read, In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

MAN THAT CAN TURN ON LIGHT 63-1229M 74 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 Light strikes It, it brings the Word to life again. Every age has always been that.

How else could we Manifest with Him. He is the Word. Then we must become a perfect reflection of that same word in order to manifest as He Manifests. "IN HIM WAS LIFE AND THE LIFE WAS THE LIGHT OF MEN". Notice that he said, “the Life is the Light of men, His Life is His Light or Word. If He then is our Life, our Life must come from His Word. Then When His word shall manifest Itself, our Life must also manifest the same thing. Then as Paul said, it is not really our life but His Life in us that is manifesting. Jesus said, MY WORDS ARE SPIRIT AND THEY ARE LIFE. Then what is manifesting? It can only be His Word.

Now, we are in the Spring time, and that is the season for resurrection. Notice how Life comes up in a sort of resurrection like the sap that comes up in the spring time, is a sort of resurrection, and the tree comes back to life again after remaining dormant throughout the winter burial. He says this life begin to come up in Luther, then on into Wesley’s Message and then on into Pentecost’s Message and now it comes back to Seed again Word again at the end-time. But then he contrasts the cycle of Life with death showing that when the life leaves anything it must die. And he tells us the clue that it is dead is that it denominates or organizes.

THE MASTERPIECE 64-0705 138 How many ever seen a seed of wheat start to grow? What's the first little thing? It's just exactly like the seed, but it's the husk. See the three stages? Stalk, tassel or the pollen, then the husk. And then, out of the husk comes the original seed. Not a seed, it was the Life of the seed growing through this to come to the seed. Amen, amen. Do you see it? What is it? A resurrection, coming back to a Masterpiece again, like the one that went in. Pentecost came out of the Wesley, because Wesley was an organization. Pentecost come out as no organization and then turned to one. It had to, to make the husk. The true Word of Life on it was on its way then to the original grain through these stages: through the stalk, then into the pollen; from the pollen into the husk; and from the husk it made seed. No... Stalk, tassel, husk.

Again we find him carrying this thought of God Life as it comes up through the different stages of the church. And each stage of this planting of the Lord is identified with a Message that swept the world. That was the Life of God sweeping up all the predestinated seeds of God laying out there.

Now in this next paragraph I do not know how you could make it any more plain than what brother Branham is telling us here.

140 Living, they produced in their early revival a holder of a certain portion of the seed Life; but when they organized, the Life moved out of it. That's proved by all history. Never an organization ever done a thing after it organized. It was dead. That's right. Watch, the life's traveling on now. It's moving on. Notice. What they have done, all these have done, is proved by history just exactly the way the church has come, never to be useful to Him again. Organization is laid on the shelf. There never has been in all the history of church after it organized, but what it died. And the organization died and never did raise again. Can't you see it? Men who are blind, open your eyes. Nature and the Word coordinating together and proving it right here that this is the Truth, that it is the Truth: That Life leaves the stalk to make the tassel; from the tassel it makes the husk; and from the husk it goes into the original again. Notice, never again to be useful to Him.

Now, I don’t know how much more clear any person could say it than what Brother Branham is telling us right here. ONCE a Move of God Organizes it is NEVER AGAIN USEFUL TO GOD!!! Every denomination began with some truth, but when they begin to organize that truth that is the minute the life went out of it. He said, they produced in their early revival a holder of a certain portion of the seed Life; but when they organized, the Life moved out of it.

I hope that you people who hear this sermon or read it on the internet catch what brother Branham is saying here. Do not try to organize this Message. The minute you do, the Life of God will move out of what you are trying to organize.

Now, what does it mean to organize the Message? Because that is really what we do not want to do. I do not believe there is anyone who wishes to organize themselves right out of the Life of the Word. But they do it any how, not really understanding what they are doing.

In order to better understand what it means to organize let’s read what the dictionary tells us:

Organize: 1. To put together into an orderly, functional, structured whole.

Now, there is nothing wrong with structure or with order, or with making things functional. Therefore, so far what we read concerning to organize does not sound like anything that would be too awful that God would be displeased with it. But let’s read on, because the definitions become a little more definitive.

2. a. To arrange in a coherent form; systematize: organized her thoughts before speaking.

Now, again there is nothing wrong with presenting the doctrine of the Message in a coherent fashion. And to do that you must systematize or place it together in an orderly fashion in order to make the presentation of it more easily understood.

b. To arrange in a desired pattern or structure: again there is nothing here that would cause the life of God to take flight, because even Jesus own Life was ordered a right, and set the pattern for all other sons to follow. But this next definition begins to give some clarity on the danger of organizing.

3. To arrange systematically for harmonious or united action: then it gives some examples of this organizing to form a union: organize a strike.

4. a. To establish as an organization: organize a club. b. To induce (employees) to form or join a labor union. c. To induce the employees of (a business or an industry) to form or join a union: organize a factory. To develop into or assume an organic structure.

So what we see here is an evolution from a harmless attempt to present the Message in an orderly fashion so that people can better understand it, to a place that where it actually organizes the people into an harmonious union that at binds the people to a core value of beliefs and excludes others who do not hold to those beliefs.

That is what every false doctrine has done that has crept up in any move of God. And that is what has even happened in this message with movements like the Thunders group, and the Two Souls Group, the Tapes only group, etc. And notice when they do that the Life of the word leaves them and they begin to establish among themselves a hierarchy of men in which if you do not listen to them you are considered out of it altogether. And when the people reach that state they are on their way into organization.

So you see there is a real danger anytime you try to improve on what God has given by inspiration. The danger comes when people try to organize any move of God. And the reason they organize a move of God is because they are not satisfied with the way God presented it to begin with? And they try to then fashion it into what they feel is a better way of presenting it. They end up taking a Life altering word, and make it into a works oriented Word.

Just look at any place where God has had a truly anointed pastor or teacher, and when that man leaves the scene, the people try to hold to what He brought them, and pretty soon they begin to organize it into a set of rules taught by the sleight of man. And then the word becomes to them rule on rule, rule on rule, precept on precept, precept on precept, a little here and a little there and then they fall back into what they came out of which was works. And if you think I am wrong in saying this just read the NIV translation of Isaiah chapter 28.

ISAIAH 28:8 All the tables are covered with vomit and there is not a spot without filth. Now, what is vomit but food from another day that has become mixed up in man, and then regurgitated.

⁹ "Who is it he is trying to teach? To whom is he explaining his Message? To children weaned from their milk, to those just taken from the breast? No, I don’t think so, because the Apostle Paul said when you should be teachers you have need of milk. No, those on milk see things a little differently. Paul said when I was a child I thought as a Child therefore I spoke as a child and acted in a childish manner, but when I became a man I must put away childish thinking which results in childish talk and childish actions. So the word of the Lord to them becomes,

¹⁰ For it is: Do and do, do and do, rule on rule, rule on rule; a little here, a little there."

Notice their perception of the Word reverts to legalism, does and don’t.

¹¹ Very well then, with foreign lips and strange tongues God will speak to this people, So if God will speak to this people, then what they will hear will be “Thus Saith the Lord”, and this is the rest that God has for His Elect. The elect rests on “Thus Saith the Lord”.

¹² to whom he said, "This is the resting place, let the weary rest"; and, "This is the place of repose", but they would not listen. Ah, so we have a prophet that knocked on the pulpit while He was preaching on the Seventh Seal and He said while knocking on that pulpit, “It’s relaxation time under the Seventh Seal.” PP 83-84 seventh Seal. And notice what we are told here in Isaiah. This Foreign tongue will bring rest but the people will not listen, and thus if they do not listen they will not enter into this rest but will revert to works. And that is what we read in the next verse of Isaiah.

¹³ So then, the word of the LORD to them will become: Do and do, do and do, rule on rule, rule on rule; a little here, a little there, so that they will go and fall backward, be injured and snared and captured.

The wording could not be more clear and perfect here. We are told that because they will not listen to the Voice of the Lord, they then will refuse the rest and will enter into works. Do and do, and rule on top of rule. And so we see a very clear indication of a people who leave the Life of the word that sets a man free from works, and enters Him into rest, but when they leave that word, they always revert back to works. Now, it does not say that they knowingly leave the word of God for works. No one does that. But it says, ¹³ So then, the word of the LORD to them will become: Do and do, do and do, rule on rule, rule on rule; a little here, a little there, so that they will go and fall backward, be injured and snared and captured.

You see the Word of the Lord to them becomes works. In other words, they begin to try to do it for themselves because the Life of the Word is gone from them when they refuse the rest that God has given us by entering into Jesus Christ the same yesterday today and forever.

Therefore just watch any move of God and when the ministry God was using goes off the scene many of those who followed that ministry will begin to try to hold onto what was taught but in doing so they will organizes it and when the Life goes out, and the rest is gone, the works will always follow.

Instead of preaching the Life that is in the Word, the sermons will become focused on dress, and conduct and clothesline theology, and pretty soon the people will be eyeing one another and looking for fault in one another and then they will begin to separate into clicks and clans, and once that has happened that work is about gone spiritually. Oh, they may end up with more people than the ministry that stays with the word, but that is no surprise because the Apostle Paul said in Galatians 4:27 “many more are the children of the desolate than she which has a husband”. And she which has a husband is a Bride.

You know I can’t read this verse of Scripture enough in warning you about what is happening in this Message even today.

⁹ "Who is it he is trying to teach? To whom is he explaining his Message? To children weaned from their milk, to those just taken from the breast? I don’t think so!!! ¹⁰ For (to them) it is: Do and do, do and do, rule on rule, rule on rule; a little here, a little there."¹¹ Very well then, with foreign lips and strange tongues God will speak to this people, ¹² to whom he said, "This is the resting place, let the weary rest"; and, "This is the place of repose", but they would not listen. So then, the word of the LORD to them will become: Do and do, do and do, rule on rule, rule on rule; a little here, a little there, so that they will go and fall backward, be injured and snared and captured.

And in every age after every revival, once the people move away from the Light God sent to them, and move backwards into works programs, the Life leave s them and God moves on with His Light. Paul tells us in Ephesians chapter 4 and verse 17 that when they loose what understanding they have of the Word the Life of God leaves them as well.

EPHESIANS 4:18 Having the understanding darkened, they become alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

So because their hearts are blind, and they are willfully ignorant as they move away from what understanding they did have they actually are shutting off the Life of God from themselves. In essence they are waling away from the fountain of Life. There is never any reason to quit preaching the doctrine to revert to works, for Christ is the doctrine. If you preach Christ the hearts of the people will be filled with Life and there will be no need to preach a clothesline religion. Fill a person with God life and God will live through them.

And it does not matter what you do to clean up your life, if you are not born again it is not even acceptable to God any way. All that kind of righteousness is as filthy rags. That is what He said.

So it has to be doctrine. Because if you focus on the Doctrine of Christ you have God period. And John said, he that hath the son hath life. And the word hath was translated from the Greek word echo, and so He that echoes the son echoes Life, and He that echoes the doctrine of Christ echoes God Himself. So as the Life moves on the doctrine of Christ will continue to be taught by those that have been faithfully taught themselves. And When a church stops teaching the doctrine and begins to focus on rules and order and do and do, it has lost it’s first love and have left the doctrine of Christ and when they do that they no longer echo or reflect Life, nor do they echo or reflect God, and God is Life.

The Apostle Paul said in Colossians 3:4 “When Christ who is our Life shall phaneroo, (to manifest Himself in His True character), so shall we phaneroo (manifest in our true character) with him in glory (and we know this doxa is the opinion, judgment and assessment of God.) Therefore, when Christ who is our Life appears, our life shall manifest in it’s true character as well, which we know was ordained to have the very mind of Christ in us.

From Anointed ones at end time 65-0725M P:168 Brother Branham said, Now, you go back and try to live again... What if that life took back down... You think that Life would ever talk--go back after that old shuck's dried up, ever go back and live in it again? It never does. "For it is impossible for those which were once enlightened and didn't move on with the Word as it come to pass..." They're dead, gone. "And the thorns and thistles which is nigh unto rejection, whose end is to be burned..." Is that right? Now, hurrying just as quick as I can.

1 John 1: 2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)

Dead men don’t grow. They don’t manifest life either. And they certainly can not change either.

The apostle Paul said in 2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Now the apostle Paul told us here that when we look into the mirror of the Word we are changed into the Image that we see in the Word which is Christ Who is our light. And then he tells us we are changed from image to image and from glory to glory, from doxa to doxa, which is the opinion, assessment and Judgment of God. So he tells us that we are changed into the image of Christ who is our light and we are changed from one opinion to another and to another and to another until we come into the mind of God.

Therefore the Life moves on and those walking in the light continue to walk in the Light as He is in the light. They don’t look back, because anyone driving while looking through a rear view mirror will crack up eventually.

Let’s bow our heads and our hearts in a word of prayer.

Dear Father we have seen much evidence today that your word will always continue to move on for all life must continue to move, for to stop is evidence that it is not more living but dead. Help us Father to never be caught in the trap of organization, for we know organization is the way of death. And we know that satan is the author of organization, for he tried to created a union in heaven and he tried to organize the angels against Your word Father, and for it he lost his position in heaven as a leader in the Worship of Thee Oh, Loving God and Father.

Therefore, Father we just ask that you would always keep your Word fresh upon our hearts and minds, and may the Life that is in Your Word for this Hour be always opened to us in our ears and hearts and minds. And may we receive our nourishment and strength from the Life that is in Your Word, for we ask it in Jesus Christy’s name and as He asked it in His prayer to Thee, may we Father be one with Thee as you are One with Your Son Jesus. Amen.
