“Seed Life Manifestation”
Brian Kocourek, Pastor
June 19th, 2011 p.m.
The Spoken Word is the original Seed part 2 pp 169 It takes the Spirit of God, the Seed to give Life Eternal. Whew.
My.
And from Spoken word original seed 62-0318M P:125 All
right. And when so, the Bible is manifested again like in the early days of
Christ. See? 'Cause you are a
predestinated seed just like Christ was; and when the rain falls on the
seed, the life produces itself. When the Holy Spirit falls... When It fell on
those seed that Jesus said He chose them when? Before the foundation of the
world. Then they were a predestinated seed. Is that right?
Let us pray, Dear
father we come this morning asking you to help us all to come into the image of
your dear son Jesus. We know as the Apostle Paul said, that when I would to do
good evil is present but we also know that which you have begun in us you will
perform, so we ask that we might step
aside that you might have the pre-eminence in our bodies and in our minds, for
we ask it in Jesus Christ’s name , your obedient and loving son. You may be
seated.
Matthew
13: 10 - 16 And the disciples came, and said unto him,
Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them,
Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven,
but to them it is not given. (to them
who?)
Mark
4: 11-12 And He said unto them, unto you it is given
to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God: but unto them that are without,
all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not
perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they
should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. Now notice that He said two important things here. #1)
There is a certain people who are created with an innate something within them
that allows them to hear and understand, to see and also perceive what they
see. He said, unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the
From
Shalom pp. 34 brother Branham said, The Elected Seed
knows, It's always throughout every age, that they know it."
From C.O.D. pg. 939 He said, And I believe the Predestinated Seed will see
it, and only them will see it."
And from the Message Spoken word is the original Seed pg. 62
He said, If they
don't believe the Word they have no Seed - germ in them. And again
in pg. 45 of that same Message he said, " Every one that
belongs to God will hear God. Just feel led of the Spirit where to go and what
to do, and do that." So you see, there is no getting around it,
God has made some people to receive His Word and all others are not meant to
receive it.
Now, in getting back to Matthew 13: 12 we read "For whosoever hath,
to him shall be given," And if you look up that word hath, you
will find it is the Greek Word spelled, echo
as we would say it. And it means to have or accompany. That is exactly what we
hear as well when we hear an echo. It is the same thing you say being
accompanied by a repeat of itself. And so we read this verse as this way,
"For
whosoever hath, to him shall be given," or shall we say To Him that is made in such a way as to echo back the Word of
God, to him shall be given, (and notice as the Scripture
continues) and he shall have more abundance: Now
why would the person who is made to echo have what is given to him in more
abundance? Because, just as an echo is made off the original and out from the
original, so too it is a repeat of the original. So it will be more of the
same. Therefore more abundant.
Why cry speak 63-0714M P:47 I don't care what you've
done. You might've been religious all your life. You might've lived in the
church. Your father may be a minister, or your husband might be a minister; but
as long as you disobey the Word of God,
it shows there's no Light there. When you see the thing brought out and the
Life of the Holy Spirit, watch It when it strikes others. See what they do. If
It brings it on them... no wonder... What a rebuke to those Pharisees that
called Jesus, when He could perceive their thoughts, he called Him Beelzebub,
and that little prostitute said, "Why,
this Fellow is the Messiah. The Scriptures says He'll do this.” See? That predestinated seed was laying there,
and when the Light struck it, it come to Life. See? You can't keep it down, you can't hide Life. You can take a... Pour
concrete upon a bunch of grass and kill it in the wintertime. The next spring
where is your most grass at? Right around the edge of the concrete, 'cause that
germitized seed under that stone, when the sun begins to shine, you can't hold
it. It'll wiggle its way around through there and come right out at the edge of
that and stick its head up to the glory of God. See, you can't hide life.
John 3:18 He
that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned
already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of
God. 19 And this
is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness
rather than light, because their deeds were evil. (Rather than light, rather
than, the word rather means in a greater measure. You would rather do this than
this. It is used to make a comparison, and so they would rather their darkness
than light. So they reject the light in favor of their darkness. That is why
they can have their religion and still reject the light, the Revealed Word.) 20 For
every one that doeth evil hates
the light, neither will come to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. (they will not come to the light lest
their deeds will be exposed by the light as to their true nature.
Paul said in Ephesians 5:13 But all things that
are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest
is light.) John 3:21 But he that doeth truth (not talks it, lives it. Brother Branham said don’t preach
me a sermon, show me a sermon,.) he that doeth truth
cometh to the light, that his deeds
may be made manifest, that they are wrought
in God.
And that means they have their source in God, because John tells us in1 John 2:29 If ye know that He (God) is righteous, ye
know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him. And again in 1 John 3:7 he
says “Little
children, let no man deceive you: he
that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.” Not him that talks the word is righteous, but
he that doeth the word, he that walks in the light, not him that talks the
light.
And talk is cheap, because anyone can say the right thing, but it takes the Light upon the seed to bring the seed to life, to manifestation.
Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works,
which God hath before ordained that we
should walk in them.
Man that can turn on light 63-1229M P:36 All
life... 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.
Notice in Ephesians 4 Paul tells us that we are to
walk in it, Ephesians 4:1 I
therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, (He says you’ve go to
walk it, w.a.l.k. worthy of it. As becometh or in an appropriate manner. It
means to live it, live what you preach. Live the life. There is a life that we
are called to. It’s not a profession from your mouth, but a confession from
your Life. So how do you live it?)
2 With
all lowliness (that means with all humbleness of mind. Not proud and
doting about things you know not. But humbly, reverently, in all humility.) and meekness, (which is
gentleness) with longsuffering, (that
means with patience and) forbearing one
another in love; (That
means being able to put up with, or enduring one another. Now, look, there is
too much self edification among the believers today and not enough humility,
patience and forbearance with one another.) Notice the reason why. He says, 3 Endeavouring (that means to make an effort) to keep the unity
of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
So why do we see so much cloak and dagger backhanded
dealings between brethren. Why so much bitterness? Why so much kingdom
building? Why so much self centeredness in this Message?
4 There
is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. So if there is one body, and one Spirit and One Hope
of your calling, then why so many camps? Huh? That shows right there they are
wrong. You don’t build a defense around the Word. You are not God! God is
supposed to be our shield and buckler, we are not to be His shield and buckler.
The King James quotes the Apostle Paul as saying he is
set for the defense of the gospel, but again the translators used the wrong
word when they translated apologia. Apology is not a defense, it is a clearing
of self.
Philippians
1:17 But
the other of love, knowing that I am
set for the defense of the gospel.
Not defense as in getting ready to fight for the Gospel. That is so Catholic and
so Muslim in spirit. That is what John and James said when they wanted to send
fire down from heaven to devour the city that rejected them and would not hear
them. And Jesus said, “You don’t know what Kind of Spirit you have on you”. No,
sir, the word apologia means to clear or explain, not fight, but explain it,
bring it out more clearly so they might understand. Why would Paul be speaking of
Love and then say I am set for the defense of the Gospel as though he is ready
to fight it out with anyone who disbelieves?
Notice in Philippians 1: 7 Even as it is meet for me to think this of
you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my
grace. Not defense like a battle but in the clearing up and confirmation
of the Gospel.
So let’s continue reading about how we are to walk in
the Word, to live it. 7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift
of Christ. 8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up
on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
So we are all given Grace, and it is according to the
measure given to each one as how much we will receive. So there can not be any
big ones and little ones in this message. There is only One Lord, which means
one who is master of all.
9 (Now
that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower
parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the
same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And
he gave some, apostles; and some,
prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Notice now, He gave some to be Apostles, Prophets,
Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers. These are not self appointed men who are to
rule over you! These are gifts to the church ands they are )12 For
the perfecting of the saints, (for
the maturing of the church. So if the gift just tears up the church, the
people, all the time, that is not a gift from God. And the gift is) for the work of the
ministry, for the edifying (building
up, not tearing down) of the body of Christ: (so these boys down in that little island in the Gulf
of Mexico who think it is their duty to set the Ministers straight, are not
from God. They use the Word like a Sword but the Sword in the wrong hands kills
and destroys. But God’s Sword in the Hands of His prophet gave life, for it
discerned down to the very inner heart of man, and set them free to hear and to
walk in the light.)
An notice, this Five-Fold gift to the church is to
bring the people not only to maturity, and not only to build up the church, but
there is to be a fruit that it produces if it is from God.
John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should
remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it
you. So you can not get away from the fact that God has a certain fruit that
he has ordained for us to manifest in ourselves.
13 Till
we all come in the unity of The faith, (that means we are to come into THE unity concerning
the Revelation of Jesus Christ) and of the knowledge
of the Son of God, (So without a knowledge of the son of God,
how can you arrive at The Unity of the reelatio of Jesus Christ. Then I want
you to notice that these five gifts to the church are to bring the people) unto a perfect man, (not a perfect
child, but man, m.a.n. A perfect man, a mature man, one that has come) unto the measure (Metron, the limited
portion) of the stature (maturity of
character) of the
fullness (or fulfilling
or completion) of
Christ: So you see,
he starts with talking to us that we must walk in humility, with one purpose of
mind, and that is to help one another to come to the place where we reflect the
maturity of Christ, even though we have it with a limited portion, whereas he
had with without Measure.
So notice then that he is speaking of a condition
which gets us ready for adoption. For if you will notice his next thought he
says, 14 That we henceforth be no more children, (NO more children who can be) tossed to and fro, and carried about with every
wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they
lie in wait to deceive; (No sir, once you have come to maturity in Christ and you know your
position in the body of Christ, no man can again come along and use fear to
control you like a little child. And if that fruit is not being presented from
a man who claims to be part of the five-fold gift of God to the church, then
that preacher is not placed in the church by God as God’s gift to the church.
But they are promoters of self, self-seekers, or as Jesus called them
hirelings.)
But notice how these
five-fold gifts will speak to the people God has given them to speak to. 15 But
speaking the truth in love, (so that the people) may grow up into him in all things, which is
the head, even Christ: (You don’t treat your kids like a bunch of soldiers. You don’t berate and
belittle your children to make them grow up. You love them, and correct them,
but you do not destroy them to build them up. The army might do that, but their
job is to make a killing machine out of the young men. God is not in the
business of making killing machines. Well, the Catholic god or the Muslim god
might be, but not the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said, when they strike you
on the cheek give them the other cheek. He never said strike back.
God never told anyone
“an eye for an
eye”. That was the Jews who killed Jesus.
But Jesus said contrary to that in Matthew 5:38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but
whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take
away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. 41 And
whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 42 Give
to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou
away. 43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou
shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44 But
I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them
that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 That ye may be the children of your Father which
is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and
sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For
if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans
the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only,
what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be
ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Now, let’s go back to what Paul was saying about the
five-fold gift of God in Ephesians 4: 15 But speaking the
truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 6 From
whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every
joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every
part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk,
in the vanity of their mind, (So he has told us how
to walk, and how the five-fold will teach with love at the main core of the
how, and then he tells us how we should not walk. ) that ye henceforth
walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, 18 Having
the understanding darkened, (and if the understanding is darkened, then it had
some light at some time, but through its walk it closed itself off to the light
somehow.) 18 Having
the understanding darkened,
being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: (so what brought in this darkness is their lack of understanding, and
because they are blind to the truth, they then shut off what light there is and
this produces death, for the life goes out when the darkness comes upon them
because of the hardness of their hearts. The word translated for blindness also
means stupidity, callousness and hardness. And I have seen all over the world
ministers who are so callous towards the people, so hard hearted that it just
shows their stupidity.)
19 Who
being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all
uncleanness with greediness. 20 But ye have not so learned Christ; (In other words, this is those who are not ordained to
be conformed to the image of the first born son, so do not use these men for
your example.) 21 If
so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is
corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24 And
that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and
true holiness. 25 Wherefore
putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor:
for we are members one of another. 26 Be ye angry, and sin not (in other words, it is ok to be angry when the need is
right for it, but learn to control your anger that you do not sin with your
mouth or actions. Learn to control the old man with the new man. And here is a
very good rule to live by…Paul says, ) let not the sun go
down upon your wrath: 27 Neither
give place to the devil.
(don’t give him living quarters
in your home. Do not make the devil comfortable in your home.) 28 Let him that stole
steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which
is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. 29 Let no corrupt (worthless or rotten) communication proceed out of your mouth, (watch
what kind of jokes you pass on, and cut out the gossip) but that which is good to the use of edifying,
that it may minister grace unto the hearers. 30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the
day of redemption. (Now,
how do you not grieve the Holy Spirit? Become a yielded vessel unto him) 31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: (In other words, just shut up. If you haven’t got
something good to say then don’t open your big mouth.)
Now, get out your pen and paper because I want you to
write this down. You want to know what a mature Christian in the limited
portion of the maturity of character in the completion of Christ will show as
fruits of his or her life. Just one little
you need to memorize.) 32 And be ye (1) kind one to another, (2) tenderhearted, (3) forgiving
one another, even as
(and when the words even as they mean in the same way as) God for Christ's sake hath (Past tense) forgiven you.
Brother Branham in our opening statement was
referring to the seed, and if you have that seed then you will have the same
nature as the original Seed which means that you can not help the nature that
is in you. And so when the light strikes the seed, it must come to life.
Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly
places in Christ: 4 According
as he hath chosen us in him before the
foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame (that means completely justified) before him in love: 5 Having predestinated
us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to
the good pleasure of his will,
And
then let’s skip to verse Ephesians 1:11 In whom also we have
obtained an inheritance, being
predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after
the counsel of his own will: So our predestination is according to
His will, not yours.
So that takes us to Romans
8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the
image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Romans 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he
also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified,
them he also glorified.
1 Corinthians 2:7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery,
even the hidden wisdom, which God
ordained before the world unto our glory:
Acts 13:48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were
glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
From his sermon, Awakening Jesus 63-0117 P:27 Br.
Branham said, Let me stop a minute on this and explain
something. Seeds that fall in the earth, if they're germitized, they grow when
the sun strikes it, moisture, conditions. But if they're not germitized, the
sun could shine on them, they'd just rot away the same. There's nothing happens.
We are germitized. Our names were called, put on the Lamb's Book of Life before
the foundation of the world. No matter how religious we are, that has not one
thing to do with it. Sometimes it's
against us. Notice Jesus. We know now He was Messiah. And when He come and
showed Himself Messiah upon religious people: Pharisees, Sadducees, all from,
priests from the lineage of Aaron. For hundreds times hundreds of years their
great-great-great-great-great-great-great (way back) grandfathers were priests,
studying the Word, studying the prophets. And the prophets plainly spoke of
this. But when Jesus come and performed that, they was as blind as a bat. Religious to the dot, smart, intelligent,
intellectual as they could be, far beyond one of us today, trained in the
Word, raised from a child, and when the real truth splashed across in front of
them and that Light shone, they said, "This man... We can't figure that
out, so he must be a devil, Beelzebub. He has a great powerful mind. He can
read the mind of the people." A telepathist we'd call it today. They
didn't understand.
29
But now look. One day over at Sychar, a little city of
31
It must've been John, a young fellow, you know, thinking fast. Must've been him
that said, "Just think of it. The One that could take five biscuits and
two fish and feed five thousand (Amen.), the One that knows the secret of the
heart. He's with us in the ship. We've got Him right here. Brethren, you're
testifying," he might've said, "But the One that we're thinking
about, He's right here with us." That's the same thing right now, the One
that we preach about, the One that we talk about... What good is a God of Moses
if He isn't the same God today? The One that we talk about is here with us. Oh,
what a thing to think about.
32
And then (You see?), also they were on a dangerous lake. And what a--a feeling
of security, while sailing the--the tornadoed lake, to know that One laid with
them on the ship. How secure you can be. When the seas are troubled, when
they're not troubled, just don't make a bit of difference. As long as you know He's laying right there, what difference does it
make? Let come, let go what may, doesn't make a bit of difference. It's
there, I know it. You say, "I... Bless the Lord." Doctors say you're
going to die with a cancer, just say, "Glory to God. Quick trip home,
maybe." See, and they don't mind.
And from God has a
provided way 62-0728 P:75 he said, When He seen Simon and called
his name, and told him, "Your name is Simon. You're the son of
Jonas," that predestined seed of God come to life that quick. When Philip
went and got Nathanael and brought him up there, He said, "Behold an
Israelite indeed, in whom there's no guile." He said, "Rabbi, when
did You know me?" Said, "Before Philip called you, when you were
under the tree, I knew you." He said, "Rabbi, You're the Son of God,
the King of
From the sermon Rising of the sun 65-0418M P:25 Now,
and then not only that, He sent word to His disciples, His believing,
"Fear not, for I am He that was dead and is alive again forevermore. And I
have the keys to death and hell; I've already conquered it." Don't fear anymore, for every foreordained,
predestinated Seed of God shall come to Life when that Light spreads across the
earth of the glorious Gospel. In every age it'll bring forth the crop that God
ordains it to do.
And from Shalom 64-0119 P:44 There
stood Judas, Light shining up here, but back in his heart was dark seed. When
the showdown come, the darkness showed. Here was a little old woman all blacked
out up here in front, but down here was a predestinated seed. And when the
Light come, It scattered the darkness, and it showed forth. "We
know Messiah's coming, and when He does, He'll show us these things."
Jesus said, "I am He.” But Judas doubted It, yet supposed to be walking in the Light. See, the
Light up here doesn't matter; it's the Light down here that counts. The Light
up here will walk and fellowship, and everything else; but when the real power
of God comes in, it can't come back to this dead seed; it'll reflect off in a
denomination. But when It's back down here, a genuine, predestinated seed, when
that Light comes down here, shows all the darkness away from you, and puts you
in fellowship with Christ. He was the One Who gave you Life before the
foundation of the world, otherwise you'll never see It. It's what God said.
Greater than Solomon is here
62-0628 P:27 I think of that little woman that we spoke
of last night, the little prostitute. How that little woman, standing there in
the condition that she was, five husbands and living with the sixth one, and
what a horrible shape that poor little woman was in; and yet, you know, she actually knowed more about God than a
big bunch of the clergy of this United States. She sure did. She knowed
more about it than the high priest and them of her day, for they said,
"That's a devil." But as soon
as that eternal Light shone upon that predestinated seed, it come to life right
quick. They saw it. They recognized
it right quick. And look at the shape she was in. There was plenty big
churches in her day, plenty of them. She didn't go to any of them. She just
waited, because she seen there was something.
Once more 63-1117 P:5 Is
there any seeds of life, predestinated to be in the Book of Life that the Lamb
died for? If they're there, we feel, that when the Gospel Light strikes, they'll see It right quick, because
they are predestined to that.
Christ is the mystery 63-0728
P:11 And I said, "Now, the only stereoscope
that I have is the Bible (See?) for the soul." And I said, "I'm going
to give you the test." I said, "
Abraham and his seed 61-0416
P:26 But, you see, Abraham not being nothing
himself, he was called by election. Then
if Abraham was called by election then his seed after him has to be called by
election. That's right. Jesus said, "No man can come to Me except My
Father draws him first. And all that the Father hath given Me, will come to
Me." That's the reason you just preach the Gospel in its plainness, yet the elected sheep of God would hear
that, and catch it right quick, and they'll believe that the baptism of the
Holy Ghost where others will walk away and make fun of it, because they were
elected to hear it. That's all, see? So you see now, why that the Church
itself is an elected pre-elected by God. Now, let me take the Word out of I Thessalonians the 1st chapter there
were it said, "Predestinated."
Now that's not a good word to use before people, because predestinated is a...
It would be better if we used it like this: that it was by foreknowledge, God
by His foreknowledge could predestinate to His own glory. See?
Matthew 13: 20 But he that received the seed into stony
places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; 21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a
while: for when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, by and
by he is offended. 22 He
also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the
care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he
becometh unfruitful. 23 But
he that received seed into the good
ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth,
some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that
heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath (echoes) everlasting life, and shall
not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
Now,
if you all recall, God has set upon us in this hour His divine covenants. The
light must strike the rain to bring into manifestation the rainbow. And we know
the rainbow represents the Covenants of God brought into manifestation by the
light of His Glorious presence. And when the light strikes the rain the rainbow
comes into view, and when the Light strikes the doctrine of
Christ, then all the divine promises of God concerning His Son come into view
as well. In Deuteronomy God tells us that His doctrine shall fall as
the rain, so God likens His Doctrine to the rain. Now, you can not have a
rainbow without having light strike the rain. So light upon the doctrine will
bring into manifestation all the divine promises of God to us in this hour.
God's covenant comes into manifestation because of the light upon the doctrine,
and it is presented to those who are walking in the light and the rain or the
doctrine.
For
the Scripture tells us, "John 1:4 In him was life; and
the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness
comprehended it not." and we know that when that light strikes
it brings illumination. For the Apostle Paul said in Ephesians 5:13, that which makes manifest is light. And
the Apostle Peter told us when that Light strikes, it would illuminate the dark
places and the hidden mysteries would be revealed. II PETER 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy;
whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark
place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: And
yet the world continues in darkness concerning the Creator who gave them
natural light, because they have turned down the Light of His Glorious Gospel.
In fact the Apostle Paul said, II CORINTHIANS 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them
that are lost: 4 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.
Indictment
pg. 4 He said, "And, today, by the light of the Gospel
reflecting from a Light, a Pillar of Fire visibly among us.." And so we see that this is what the Appearing is all
about. The Law of Reproduction needs Light to bring into manifestation the Seed
Gene.
Now when we think of any seed we
automatically think of the manifestation of that seed. In other words, when I
say wheat you think in terms of golden grain. And this is as I said, what the
Appearing is all about. The Pillar of Fire is here to bring into manifestation
the Sons of God according to Romans 8. We showed that in nature the life that is in a seed,
once it is planted and the light strikes it, the life in a seed begins its
journey towards manifestation of itself. In other words, towards an expression
of what Life and Nature is intrinsically in that seed. Now, we know that until
the light strikes the seed, the seed will not manifest the innate nature of the
life that lays within it. So it takes the Light to manifest the Life. In fact
the apostle Paul said, in Ephesians chapter 5, "what makes manifest is
Light", and we know that Christ is the Light of the world, and JOHN 1:3 tells us, All
things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life;
and the life was the light of men. 5 ¶ And the light
shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
So we see that it takes the presence of the Pillar of
Fire to bring the Seed of God to life. Why? Because that seed is God's word,
but as brother Branham said, unless the light strikes it, it will stay dormant.
No life expression as a result. But when the Light strikes it, that seed can
not help but to come alive. Why? Because Light makes manifest.
Look, when the Pillar of Fire come into Moses presence, it
sparked him to Life. He became a different man altogether. When the
Light of God's Glorious presence came into the Presence of the Apostle Paul, he
became alive to the Word. And the word seed came alive in Him. When the
Pillar of Fire came into the Presence of William Branham, what happened? He came alive to the
Word, and the word Life came alive in Him. Up to that point when the
pillar of fire came into the presence of these men, they all three would be
murderers. Moses killed a man. Paul killed and persecuted the Christians, and
William Branham had it not been for the sovereign Grace of God would have
killed those three boys when he was beaten by them as a young child.
And notice until the Pillar of Fire came
into their presence, they were all just men, born in sin, shaped in iniquity,
and come to the world speaking lies. But then the Light struck them and that
predestinated seed that had laid dormant in them became quickened and made
alive. The Apostle Paul said, Ephesians 2: 1 And you hath he quickened, who
were dead in trespasses and sins; and this same Apostle said in Colossians 3: 4 When Christ, who is
our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

Sure. Others will just go right over the top of it. They believe in their
system, and that's just the way it's always... Like it was in the days of Noah,
they believed the same thing. Those who are predestinated to Eternal Life, they
got it. "No man can come to Me," said Jesus, "except My Father
draws
him.
And all the Father hath given Me will come."

that Pillar of Fire hanging there, and the signs and wonders that promised, the

has always been the minority. See? "Fear not little, little flock,
it's your Father's good will to give you the Kingdom."

called of the Father, had been given... The life had been given from the
foundation of the world. And as soon as that Light flashed across her... No
matter how much ecclesiastical training had been seen, they was blind to it;
but when that Light of God flashed
across that little woman, she saw it.
