EPHESIANS
3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge,
that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. 20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding
abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh
(energizes) in us, (and what power is that? He answers it in the next :…) 21 Unto him (Him Who? Him God! And What is God? God is Love, to
Him) [be] glory
in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
JEHOVAH JIREH
57-0106 63 Now, the vine doesn't bear fruit, does it?
Who was He talking to? The church. "I'm the Vine. You are the
branches." The branch is energized
by the life of the Vine; therefore Jesus has no lips tonight on earth, but
mine and yours. He has no eyes but mine and yours. He has no hands but mine and
yours. He energizes us, and we bring forth His Life, as He brings it through
us. Whether it's preaching the Gospel by lip, or it's seeing vision by eye,
whether it's whatever it is, laying hands on the sick, whatever it is, it's
Christ working through the branches of His Church, every office literally
electrified by His Presence.

Many of you ministers here, you wouldn't want to say that you just spitted out
a sermon and stood, popped it off. You'd want to say it come from inspiration.
I believe it. Certainly. Well, it has to come from the Holy Spirit that
energizes you to speak that message. If it isn't, you'll never be successful.
This is Charles Finney, and so forth, and man who copied their sermons out and
when he got up there and preached with the inspiration, the Holy Ghost... The
same sermon he preached the night before, hundreds brought to the altar. See?
There's such a difference. It's got to be by inspired. The Holy Spirit's got to
unctionize in that thing. So is it with healing. There's got to be something
take place through a Divine gift that'll energize the people with the Holy
Spirit to believe.
I THESSALONIANS
2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because,
when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received [it] not
[as] the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually
worketh (effectually energizes) also in you that believe.

And now watch. I've seen it work. And to think that if you'll get into that
contact with God, it becomes till it isn't your voice anymore. It's not your
thought anymore. It becomes God's thought and God's voice. You are just a vine,
or just a branch. He's the Vine. And if His Spirit that goes in and energizes,
as long as you can get yourself out of the way, He will fill it up. And then
you can be a witness just like Noah's ark was a witness, like Jesus was a
witness of God. He become so full of God, till him and God was One. God dwelt
in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself, the very expression.
JAMES 5:14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and
let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him
up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16 Confess [your] faults one to another, and
pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual (Energizing) fervent
prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
ARROW OF GOD'S DELIVERANCE 56-0801 19
Why, the reason Moses failed in the first place... Here's what was the matter. It was the lack of having what the burning
bush had. That's right. And what's
our failure today, is lack having
what the Holy Spirit has. And the Holy Spirit has all good things for us.
And if we receive the Holy Spirit, then all things are possible; and not only
possible, but promised to us. Jesus said, "Ask the Father anything in My
Name, I'll do it. If ye abide in me and My word's in you, ask what you will,
it'll be given to you." See? When we step into the Light of God's Word, with the unction of the Holy
Spirit to shine the Light on It, brother, the impossible becomes little things
then. God asks us to believe His Word. He
sends the Holy Spirit to energize that Word when He falls into It. When the
Word's being preached and the Holy Spirit brings the Word, He energizes that and flashes the same Light of God's blessed
promise. God said, "I have remembered My promise to Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob, and I'm sending you down there to do it."
See? Then when God's Word, His promise becomes enlightened by the Presence of
the Angel of the Lord, stop Moses now; he's on his road. And God always keeps
His promise.
FUNDAMENTAL
FOUNDATION FOR FAITH 55-0113 25 What did Christ redeem us for? Did you
ever think what He redeemed us for? Why didn't He just make you the atonement
and say now, "There's no need of giving them deep powers.
There's no need in making this man a son of God. There's no need in doing that.
I will just ask him to believe it and write his name in the Book of heaven and
that'll settle it." But He gave us these redeemed
blessings that we might operate the work
of God, by the energy of the Holy Spirit. In
Ephesians 1: 19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his
power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
Ephesians 3: 7 Whereof
I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me
by the effectual working of his
power.
Ephesians 4: 16 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.
Philippians 3: 21 Who
shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious
body, according to the working
whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
INNER
MAN 53-1212 6 And I was just thinking. We are God's
fruit bearers. And I believe in
Colossians 1: 29 Whereunto
I also labour, striving according to his working,
which worketh in me mightily. Notice
Paul’s Words, STRIVING he says he’s striving according to His Working,… and how
many say that if you do such you are just a legalist? They say you are off on a
works campaign…No I am off doing what God has told me to do. He wants to borrow
my body, and use my body to manifest Himself in His Sons. The Message was not
just for William Bram to live it and proclaim it, it is for all sons to reflect
their Father. The Bible tells us that we
are sons, but we do not know who we are and that is the sad facts of the church
today. They don’t know who they are. But when he shall appear we shall be like
Him because we see Him as he really is. So if you see Him it is supposed to
make you to be like Him. We are to be conformed to the image of our eldest
brother and he didn’t just talk the word he lived it to it’s fullest.
Colossians 2: 12 Buried
with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of
the operation of God, who hath
raised him from the dead.
1 Corinthians 16: 9 For
a great door and effectual is opened
unto me, and there are many adversaries.
TESTIMONY OF A
TRUE WITNESS 61-1105 191 A sheep's not asked to bear wool. He's not
asked to manufacture some wool this year. If he's a sheep, he'll have wool,
because he's a sheep. He don't have to say, "Well, now I believe I'm a
sheep, so I better hurry up around here, I got to get some wool for the
master." He don't have to worry about that. As long as he's a sheep, he'll
bear wool. He don't have to manufacture it. You don't have to manufacture no
self-made piety, and, "I, I've got... Now I shouldn't do this; I know I'm
a Christian." Oh, brother, trying to save itself by itself, by its own
human efforts, yet, sincere. What's the matter is weak pulpits, weak schools,
weak seminaries. That's what's the matter: teaching man's theology. They
give... You say today, the strength of a Christian, they just... "Are you
a Christian?" "Oh, I'm Methodist." "Are you a
Christian?" "Oh, I'm Baptist." Now, that's the strength of
Christianity. How different. Hallelujah. How different from that first Church.
They had none of these things to say. But they
had been filled with an energy, a power of the Holy Ghost, that had set
them free from sin and death. They wasn't nominal. They had a love of God burning in their hearts, that sent them to death.
O, I like that. It didn’t send them to bingo parties,
It didn’t send them to Sunday school picnics. It sent them to their death, and
they were willing to go wherever the Holy Spirit said go.
Philemon 1: 6 That the communication of thy faith may
become effectual by the
acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
WE
WOULD SEE JESUS 58-0523 31
Oh, if this group tonight, of you people here from
And if that same thing
isn’t happening today. Jesus told us the parable of the ten talents, and he
said the first one got one talent but he buried it, but the one who got ten
talents had invested his and got back another ten, and so when the Lord
returned he took away that which the first group had gotten and gave it to
those who had invested it wisely. So I ask the question, you who have had the
doctrine of Christ for 20 – 30 years? What have you done with it? Have you
buried it in the ground expecting the show the Lord of the Harvest that you
still have it? Or have you taken it to others and invested it in the sons of
God so that you might give back to God greater than that which you had
received?
QUEEN OF SHEBA
60-0110 76 If the first bunch of people... He's the Vine (John
15), and
we are the branches. Now, the vine does not bear fruit. The branch bears fruit as it's energized by
the vine. And if the first branch out of that vine produced a church that
wrote a book of Acts, the second branch will do the same thing. Every branch that comes out of that vine
will be energized by the same life that's in the vine. Amen.
And let me say this…If your life is not reflecting the Word of God as
the furst church did, then you haven’t got what they had. I don’t care what
theology you have, he’s not coming for those who have a right theology, he’s
coming for those who are reflecting his Word for the Hour in which they live.
Hebrews 4: 12 For
the word of God is quick, and powerful,
energes and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the
dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a
discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
PERGAMEAN
CHURCH AGE - CAB CPT 5 176-1 The seed Word is energized by the
Spirit. Now. let me repeat that…. The seed Word is energized
by God’s Spirit, by His Presence, and if your life is not energized around this
Word for this Season, then you don’t have it. You might quote it, but he’s not
coming for a bunch of people who can quote it. He’s coming for those who are
reflecting and manifesting what he said would be the word for the Hour.
JESUS CHRIST THE SAME 58-0214
47 You have to know it by the Spirit. Flesh
cannot do those things. What is it? The vine, the branches, the same life that was in the vine comes through His branches. He
feeds the branch through His vine. That's how He declares Himself to be the
same yesterday, and forever, for He said, "I'm the Vine." The Holy Spirit now, Christ in Spirit form in you, energizing
you with His Spirit to believe God, and He's everything that He does, He
manifests Himself just like He did in the Bible times. "The
works that I do, shall you also. A little while, and the world won't see Me no
more (How many knows He said that? That's the unbeliever.), yet
ye shall Me (the believer), for I ('I,' personal pronoun), I'll be with you, even in you, to the
end of the world." Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever.
"The works that I do, shall you do also."
Matthew 14: 2 And
said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead;
and therefore mighty works do shew forth
themselves in him.
Mark
Faith
cometh by hearing 54-0320 P:104 It
isn’t a show. It's the Holy Spirit
preaching the Gospel, confirming the
Word that has been preached before. See? The Word that was preached before, the Holy Spirit's here confirming that to
be the truth. Now, what could I do? What can I say? I say this, my friend,
to every one of you in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, that every person in
here was healed when Jesus died at
Romans 7: 5 For
when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth
fruit unto death.
1 Corinthians 12: 11 But
all these worketh that one and the
selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
1 Corinthians 12: 6 And
there are diversities of operations,energema but it is the same God which worketh energeo all in all.
2 Corinthians 1: 6 And
whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same
sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your
consolation and salvation.
2 Corinthians
Why 60-0309 P:71 Don't
doubt. Don't have a doubt now, if you doubt one bit that you're not going to
receive what you come for, it won't do you one bit of good. See? You've got to
come believing. But right now, in the Presence of God, in the Presence of the Holy Ghost, that's here to confirm the Word,
come because that you know He's here, and you
know that He will give you the desire of your heart. That's what He's here for is to give the desire of your heart.
Will you come? That's good.
Token the 64-0208 P:76 He
Himself is the Word. He is here to
confirm everything He said. He's here to confirm every promise that He made.
If the people could just only see it once, Lord, that it isn't something that
we could guess about; it's something we
must know, Lord.
Galatians 2: 8 (For
he that wrought effectually in Peter
to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the
Gentiles:)
Galatians 3: 5 He
therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or
by the hearing of faith?
Galatians 5: 6 For
in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision;
but faith which worketh by love.
From that time 62-0713 P:2 The
main thing that we try to do is to let people see that Christ is not dead, that
He is alive. And if we can just see, the
One Who made us all these grand promises is here to confirm those promises...

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:
Ephesians 1: 20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at
his own right hand in the heavenly places,
Ephesians 2: 2 Wherein

prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

Spoken word original seed 62-0318E P:175 Notice,
what harmony. Jesus never did anything until seen of the Father or the Father
showed Him first: (Harmony between God and Christ. See? John 5:19) So will the Bride, and He shows Her His Word of Life (He shows Her), and she receives It. She never doubts it. Nothing
can harm Her, not even death; for if the Seed be planted, the water will raise
it up again. Amen. (Now, I got a great big "Hallelujah.") Here is the secret: the Word is in the Bride and the mind of
Christ to know what He wants done with the Word, and She does it in His Name. She has THUS SAITH THE LORD. Then it is germitized; so the Holy Spirit waters it until it is grown
and serves its purpose. They do
only His will. (Amen. I'll believe that.) No one can persuade them
different. They have THUS SAITH THE
LORD, or they keep still. Then they will do the works of God. For it is
Himself in them, continuing His Word to fulfill as He did complete in His day.
All things when He was here--He did not complete all when He was here, for it
was not time yet.
Philippians 2: 13 For
it is God which worketh in you both
to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Colossians 1: 29 Whereunto
I also labour, striving according to his working,
which worketh in me mightily.
Proving His Word 64-0816 P:105 He
proves all of His Words, all of His Words. Just think of it, all of His Words.
And you were His Word. He was the
Word, and you were part of His Word. And that's
the reason you're sent here to confirm your place in life. I don't
think you got that. See? He is the Word. Now, you get it? He was in the feet in
Luther; in the thighs in Wesley; in the shoulders in Pentecost. See what I
mean? He is the Head. You have a part that joins that together, this hour that
we're living now: not the feet part, not the thigh part, not the shoulder part,
but the neck part. Is that right? It joins to the head. That's the part of the
body. Those that are asleep in Jesus will God bring with Him. The trumpet of
God shall sound, and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Is that right? See, you become a part of that Word; you become
a part of Him. And you take His Name to recognize it (See?) you're placed
in there, baptized into His Name into His Body, "By one Spirit we're all
baptized in one Body," into here, just exactly like the same position. He
never changes His way. If... How many believes the early church is in Him?
Let's see; how many believes it? How were they baptized? All right. See? He's
unchangeable God. We proved that. We could stay here till
1 Thessalonians 2: 13 For
this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the
word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as
it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually
worketh also in you that believe.
Jesus Christ the same 63-0604 P:71 He
is here in the form of the Holy Spirit. And He's only here to confirm what He's already promised. He's here
making His Word manifest.
2 Thessalonians 2: 7 For
the mystery of iniquity doth already work:
only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
God's provided way 64-0206E P:2 Now,
there's been all kinds of ministries. God in this last days, I believe, has
give us everything He's got in His Book. Everything that He's promised, we've
seen. And still, it seems like that people can't grasp it. Those who are
ordained to grasp it, will grasp it: only
those. It blinds one, opens the eyes of another. Remember, we believe that
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He is not dead, but
alive forevermore. And He's here tonight. We are in His Presence tonight. And He's here to confirm and make good any
promise that He made for this day. And He's the same yesterday, today, and
forever.
James 5: 16 Confess
your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.
The effectual fervent prayer of a
