Spoken Word no. 263
“That great time coming”
Brian Kocourek, Pastor
June 6th, 2011 p.m.
This evening I would
like to continue with the thoughts we spoke on for our Communion service Sunday
night on the subject of Love is the Life of God Expressed. But tonight we are
going to focus on this subject in another way. We are going to look at this
great event that Brother Branham spoke of in The Spoken Word is the Original Seed. Therefore to begin let me read
from paragraphs 201 and 202 for our text..
201
Billy Graham may preach everywhere; Oral Roberts, them godly men may preach
everywhere. The Lord may send me to sow seeds somewhere else (some field), but I believe our nation is sowed down, and
I believe she's ready for the harvest
now. When the Spirit falls and
there becomes a move amongst the people, them denominations will swing
together just as certain as I'm standing in the pulpit. And the
202
I love you. I appreciate you. Maybe I'll be back about Sunday a week. I'm going
down to
So we need to
know what this great time that is coming is for us to have a better
understanding of why brother Branham said we need to keep our focus on the
moving of the Spirit that we might never fail.
From his
letter describing his translation to the other side, we hear brother Neville
read it to the people in Beyond the curtain of time
61-0305 P:25 [Brother Neville continues to read: As I
begin to move from that beautiful, joyful place, as far as my eyes could see,
people were coming towards me to embrace me crying, "My precious
brother." Suddenly I was back on the bed again. I said, "O God, help
me. Never let me compromise with the
Word. Let me stay straight on the Word. I don't care what anyone else does,
Lord. Let me press on to that beautiful, joyful place. "I am more convinced than ever in my life,
that it will take perfect love to enter that place. There was no jealousy, no tiredness, no sickness,
no old age, no death, only supreme
beauty and joy.] (Hallelujah!)[Whatever
you do, lay aside everything else until you get perfect love. Get to where you can love everybody, even
every enemy. No matter if the plane is rocking, the lightning is flashing,
or the guns of the enemy are upon you, these
things do not matter; get perfect love. If you're not saved, accept Jesus
Christ as your Saviour, now. If you have not been baptized in water, be
baptized now. If you have not received the baptism in the Holy Spirit, receive
It now. Press on in that perfect love,
which will take you to that beautiful and joyful place beyond the curtain of
time.] Hallelujah. Glory to God. Amen.[Brother Neville finishes reading the
article about the vision from the Businessman's Voice--Ed.]
Beyond the curtain of time 61-0305 P:21[Brother
Neville continues to read: After this, Hope, my first wife, hugged me and said,
"My precious brother." Then another young woman hugged me, and Hope
turned and hugged the young woman. I said, "I don't understand this. This
is something entirely different from our human love. I don't want to go back to
that old body on the bed." Then a Voice spoke to me, "This is what
you preached that the Holy Ghost is. This
is perfect love. Nothing cannot enter here without it."--Ed.]

From that time 60-0716 P:107 Just
remember. I'll say this, with the faith that I have in that vision, whatever it
was, I'll speak it in the Name of the Lord: Except you have that perfect love, you'll never be there, 'cause
nothing could ever be there without it. Your spirit would be out of place there. It couldn't come;
there'd be no way for it to come. No more then it would be for a grain of corn
to raise up out of the ground without a germ of life in it. No matter how
natural it would look, it could not raise. My friends, you old people, you
young people, you don't know what time you're going to leave. We don't know
that. But let me persuade you as a Christian brother, that one that loves you: Except you are born again, and the Spirit
of God of love comes into your heart, you'll certainly miss that place. Let
me ask you: If God has given me--has given favor between us, and you believe
me, I'm honest. What happened, I don't know. But God in heaven, Who's--Who's
omnipresent and is here now... When I leave this world, heavenly Father, please
let me rest in there until Jesus comes. That's--that's--that'll--that'll be
reward enough for me, if I can just rest at that place, till I see Him come.
Adoption
or placing 60-0522E P:48 It's
been so much to me since that what happened to me, I don't know. When I think
there, when I stood there for those few joyful moments, and thought,
"There's no tomorrow." There was no yesterday; there's no sickness;
there's no sorrow. There's no little bit of happiness, then a whole lot of
happiness; it's all happiness. Oh, my. Oh, when I stood there, and I said,
"What is this?" That Voice said, "This is perfect love, and everything that you ever loved and everything
that ever loved you is here with you now." "And you'll present us
to the Lord Jesus when He comes, as trophies of your ministry." I seen
those beautiful women standing there, all grabbing me and screaming, "My
precious, darling brother." Seen those man with that shaggy hair around their
neck here, running, grabbing me, and saying, "Our darling brother." And
I thought, "What does this mean?" He said, "They're your
people." I said, "My people? There couldn't be that many Branhams;
there's millions..."He said, "They're your converts." Hallelujah.
"They are your converts. They're the ones that..." Said, "You
see that one standing there?" The most beautiful woman I ever seen...
Said, "She was a past ninety years old when you led her to God. No wonder
she's crying, 'My darling brother.'" Said, "She'll never be old no
more. She's passed from that. She's in the splendor of youth. She's standing
here. She can't drink a cold drink of water; she don't need it. She can't lay
down and sleep, 'cause she don't get tired. There's no tomorrow, no yesterday,
nor nothing. We're in eternity now. But some glorious day the Son of God shall
come, and you will be judged according to the Word that you preached to
them." Oh, brother, I said, "Will Paul have to bring his group?"
"Yes, sir."I said, "I
preached It just exactly like Paul said It. I never divvied; I never took into any church creeds or anything
else. I stayed the same." And
all of them screamed with one accord, "We know that. We're resting with assurance." Said, "You will present us
to Him, and then we'll all go back to earth again to live forever." Oh,
my.
Adoption
or placing 60-0522E P:51 I
said, "O Lord, that's what I'm here at the church for, trying to set the
church in order," telling you, brother and sister, there's only one thing that can enter that; that's perfect love.
Not because you're loyal to the Branham Tabernacle, or the Methodist church, or
Baptist church, them's all right; you should be. But, oh, friends, you've
got... Not because you spoke with tongues, danced in the Spirit, because you
cast out devils, or moved mountains with faith. That all's all right, for
that's all right, but still unless that
real perfect love is in there. That was where perfect... [Blank spot on
tape--Ed.]
Adoption
or placing 60-0522E P:53 THUS SAITH THE LORD, it'll take perfect
love to put you in that place, for that's all there was there.
No matter how many, how much religious demonstrations, how many good deeds you
done, or whatever you done, that won't count nothing on that day. It'll take perfect love. So whatever you
do, you lay aside everything else, until you are just so filled with the love
of God, till you can love those who hate you. I'm just, as I said this
morning, I was made... My whole makeup
is grace. A lot of people say, "Now, you scratch my back, and I'll
scratch yours. Yeah, you do something for me, and I'll do something for
you." That's not grace. Grace is,
if your back is itching, I'll scratch it anyhow, whether you scratch mine or
not; you slap me on the face, and
say, "my back needs itching, needs scratching," I'll scratch it.
See? That's it; do something. I don't believe in works; I believe that works is love. Works is, works is the manifestation that grace has taken place. I don't live
true to my wife because I believe she'd divorce me if I didn't; I live true to
her because I love her.
Love 58-0313 P:20 And
as he rushed out on the platform, I didn't know him. And he let out a great big
scream, and he set his teeth together, and his eyes pushed back. And he stared
walking towards me. And he said, "You hypocrite. You snake in the
grass," he said, "upon this platform, posing yourself as a servant of
God. You're nothing but a hypocrite." Everyone kept still. About that
time, two little policemen that I had led to Christ back in the dressing room
run out to grab him. And I motioned to them. I said, "This is not a flesh
and blood affair." But the strange thing was, that when the man went up
there, I wasn't afraid. Now, perfect love casts out fear, and that's the reason
people won't take God at His Word for healing. They don't love Him well enough,
because you're scared He won't keep His Word. That's the reason that people
fear somebody else will say something against them if they receive the Holy
Spirit. They're afraid somebody will laugh and make fun. But when love comes
in...
Perfect love casts out
all fear
1
John 4
: 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because
fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
Divine love and sovereign grace 56-0814
P:15 And now, I'm a conservationist and of
wildlife and so forth, and dealt with wildlife. My mother's a half Cherokee
Indian, and I--I just love the wild so till I study God. My first study of God
was through nature, watching what He did in nature, how He watches and what He
does. And there’s one of the greatest hindrance that there is in the church
today, and right here at
Love 56-0726 P:32 We
put so much stress on the evidence of the Holy Ghost. The Methodist said you
have to shout ‘fore you got It. A lot of Methodist shouted and didn’t have It.
The Pentecostal said speak with tongues when you got it. A lot of them spoke in
tongues and didn’t have It. That’s right. But, brother, when you come to a place where you got love, it never will fail.
That’s right. If my wife trusted me because I give her ten dollars every time I
left, well, brother, that wouldn’t be very much sign I loved her. I’d be right
or true. But when she knows that I love her, when I know she loves me, then
there’s a perfect trust between each other. No worry at all. Then when you got perfect love of God in
your heart, you don’t question God about anything. When the Bible said, “I’m
the Lord that heals all thy diseases,” you say, “Amen, Lord, that’s right. That’s
me.” ”Tarry in the city of
Book of Exodus 1 55-1005 P:48 If
He’s Almighty God, He does all things. If He can’t do all things, He’s not
Almighty God. So I believe Him to be Almighty God. So I commit myself to Him,
my soul to Him, my body to Him, my living to Him, my breathing to Him, my dying
to Him, my resurrection to Him, and some glorious day, He will come.[Blank spot
on tape—Ed.]… But while He’s in the coming, and His Church is in the making, I
want to stand in the breach with my arms out and claim his resurrected power,
that He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever, and His power has never
ceased, and never will fail. He’s the same all the way around. Amen. I love Him, and I want you to love Him.
I want you to believe Him. Perfect love
casts out all fear. If you love Him with the right kind of a heart, you won’t
have one speck of fear whether you keep His Word or not.
Expectations
and what love is 54-0228A P:45 Like I was telling a lady this
morning, when you go to fry your meat for breakfast, and a big bunch of grease
pops up on your hand, the first thing you... just scares you to death. You grab
your hand and "Where is the Unguentine?" just as quick as you can.
That's the reason it burns you. That's what makes... The scare is what... I can
prove that. It's the scare that burns you.You got the Holy Ghost, it's
operating in your body. Well, when that old snake grabbed a hold of Paul's
hand, there was not a bit of scare. He looked at it like that, shook it off in
the fire, and went on, and got some more sticks. It didn't scare him. See, if
you're not scared...Jesus said, "Why did you fear?" Peter come walking
on the water, doing fine until he seen the waves were contrary, then he got
scared and begin to sink. Jesus come, picked him up, said, "Why did you
fear, oh ye of little faith?" Fear, you're scared it won't happen. Don't
have one bit of fear; move forward. God said so; that settles it. 46 And
you can’t do that until you have love.
Perfect love casts out all fear. If
I want to contribute anything to my success in the ministry amongst people, is
this: I’ll admit I’ve had to butcher up meetings because I just couldn’t set it
and … routine, like ministers do. And many times I’ve had to promise this, and
take this back, and do this, and do that. Because God will make me do it. But
if there’s one thing, is because that I
have loved people. And people knows that.
You take a little baby three months old, he ne… he don’t know nothing. He’s got
a mind, but it isn’t developed. He don’t know who, or nothing. The doctors say
they can see a light, might see your hand, but they can only follow it. And he
will just be kicking his little heels, and screaming to the top of his voice.
Well, here comes some kind woman, comes along passing him, say, “Well, well,
dear.” He just kicks right on. He don’t know who the woman is. He don’t know
nobody.
47
But let that mother walk up, just put her hands on him. That settles it. Now,
he don't know his mother. But his little spirit knows there's something about
that spirit there, that nothing else can inject that mother love to him, no
matter how much the other person loves. It ain't the mother's love. Is that
right? And she lays her hands on him, he will dry up. See, he's ready. Because
that mother, there is a love about her, that goes to the baby, that the baby's
little spirit recognizes that that's a love that no other love is. No wonder He
ordained us to lay hands on the sick. Take a horse when he's all bothered,
jumping and jerking. You western people ought to know that. You just let the
master walk into the stall and probably say, "Whoa, boy," lay his
hands on him, he quieten right down. See, it's love.
48 And when we love
God with all of our hearts, souls, and minds, and we love one another as
ourselves, our neighbors as ourselves, the people can actually feel that. You
can't put it on. You can't make a belief, 'cause they'll know it. I believe
49 Now, that's what we need
today in
50 But let that happen one
time among the heathen, and the whole country will come to God. Every one of
them will sweep right into the
51 What good does it going
to do anyhow, for you to get all peeved up about things? Just love them anyhow.
Love everybody, 'cause they're the purchased of the Blood of Jesus Christ.
Whether they're sinners, or saints, they're... And then--then you'll be able to
win them to God because they'll realize that you really love them. See? That's
what we need today, don't you think so? Yes, sir. A man come to me here not
long ago, a very fine man; he said, "Brother Branham, I come to you to ask
how to get saved." He said, "I've been trying for several years to get
saved." I said, "Yes." He said, "Well, I... There was a
very prominent speaker, Mr. Billy Graham." Said, "Do you know
him?" I said, "I know of him." I said, "A very fine
man." He said, "Well, I went to his meeting and he said, 'All that
wanted to accept Christ and be saved, raise up their hands.'"
52 Said, "Brother
Branham, I raised my hand just as high as I could." Said, "I stood
up, and they had prayer for me." And said, "Wasn't nothing
different." And said, "Then I went down to a place where they had
a--an old fashion tent meeting, called old-time religion." And said,
"They told me I had to get happy enough to shout." And said, "I
prayed in there till I shouted." He said, "But when I come back out, I
was crying and shouting," but said, "it didn't help me." Said,
"I went to another prominent man's meeting," which we're all
acquainted with, said, "he told me I'd have to stay in there until I got
happy and shout and spoke in tongues." Said, "I did." But said,
"It didn't help me." Said, "What do you say?"
53 I said, "Brother,
every one of them told you truth...?... every one." That's right. I said,
"I believe you can raise up your hands, accept Christ, get happy and
shout, and speaking in tongues. All of those things I believe is the truth. But
brother, that's not what you're after. See, you're after the accepting of
Christ." The accepting of Christ isn't raising up your hands, or these
things, it's accepting a Person into the heart, and then the attributes comes
out. First, get things first: Christ in the heart and It'll bear record. I
said, "Like smoking, drinking, gambling, committing adultery, those things
are not sin." Then I said that one night and a good old Methodist mother
raised up. I said, "It's no sin to drink, not sin to smoke, gamble." She
raised up, she said, "Then preacher, would you tell me what sin is?" I
said, "Unbelief." That's right. I said, "The reason you drink,
smoke, and carry on like that is because you are an unbeliever. That's the
attributes of unbelief causes that. If you are a Christian, you don't do it.
And just because you quit drinking, smoking, chewing, and--and committing
adultery, that doesn't mean you're a Christian. You can do that yourself."
That's right. All right. But the main thing is accepting the Person of Christ
Jesus. Amen. Then It brings forth Its fruit.

That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one
another, as he gave us commandment.
1 John 2:
5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God
perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
Must be the right kind of love

15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.
If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in
peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

are we in this world.
1 John 4:12 No man hath seen God at any
time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in
us.
