What the Holy Ghost was Given
for no 19
Life Manifested
Life Projected
Pastor, Brian Kocourek
Genesis 1:11 And
God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, and herbs... and seed, and the fruit
tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the
earth: and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herbs and yielded
seed after his kind, and the trees
yielded fruit, whose seed was in itself, after
his kind: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning
were the third day.
Hebrews
1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time
past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in
these last days spoken unto us in Son, whom he hath appointed heir of
all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 Who
being the brightness of his glory,(Doxa)
and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the
word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down
on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4 Being
made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a
more excellent name than they. 5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time,
Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a
Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
Acts 17:
28For in him we live, and move, and have our being; For we are his
offspring.
Let us pray...
Before we go to our
sermon this morning, I would like to read a couple beautiful quotes to you.
Fundamental
foundation for faith 55-0113 P:39 Then unconsciously your faith is there. You don't have to worry
about whether you got faith enough to do this, or faith enough to do that. It's
just there anyhow. You just do it because the Father said so. And
it's the living Word in you, and God's in you, manifesting Himself just like
He was in Christ. You say, "As He was in Christ?" Yes, sir. He
said, "The works
that I do shall you also; even more than this for I go to My Father." Now, that's His Word, Saint John 14:12. He gave that promise. Everyone
will believe that was inspired. And..."So a little while and the world will see Me
no more, yet you shall see Me, for I will be with you until the end of the age of the apostles?" No. "I will be with you, even in you to the end
of the world." Hebrews 13:8 said, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today,
and forever."
Fundamental
foundation for faith 55-0113 P:14 Now, if we could throw ourself completely to God and to His will
and be lost to our own thoughts, and just let the mind of Christ be in us, them
same operations of the Spirit would work through us just as the natural things
does, just the same thing. Because we were first created for that purpose
to control, to rule, and to praise God and to live for God. Now, Jesus said,
"If ye abide in Me
and My Words abide in you, you can ask what you will and it shall be given unto
you. If ye abide in Me and My Word abide in you..."Now, the Father and His Word is
inseparable, 'cause the Word is His Son. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word
was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelled
among us." God and
His Word is inseparable. You cannot have God without having His Word, and when
you have His Word, you have God.
This morning we will continue with the thought we had
last night concerning our coming forth into His image, and showing our Love for
Him by the way we echo and reflect His very God-Life, and God-Love. I believe
we are at the point in this end time race where we are to come more and more
into harmony with our foreordained image that God had in His mind and projected
forth to be manifested in this hour.
Just think of that. we are ordained as sons of God to be
projected forth into manifestation. Just as the Scriptures declares the projection of God into that Body of His
Son, in which that body of the son became the very expressed image of God to
man. For we read in Hebrews 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person...
Now, notice God's Word said Jesus was the “Express Image of His (God's) person", …
Now, the word express
means 1. To set forth, manifest, or show forth. 2. To make known 3. To convey a representation of: 4. To represent 5. To squeeze or press out, 6. To send by special messenger 7. in
Genetics it means a. To
cause (itself) to produce an effect. Used
of a gene: The gene expressed itself. b. To manifest the effects of (a gene): the people who inherit the
gene express it. c. To
manifest (a genetic trait): All in the study expressed the trait or
nature. And it is interesting that
in our dictionary over half the definitions concerning this word “express” have to do with Genetics
expressing an inherited trait or nature.
Now, in Hebrews 1:3
we are told of Jesus in reference to God His Father, that, "he is the express
image of his person, …Jesus is the express image of God, His
Father’s person…
This word “person”
that Jesus is the expressed image of,
speaks of the person of God his Father. Yet in Hebrews 11:1 Paul used the same
Greek word “hupostasis” when he
said “ Now faith is "The
substance” (the hupostasis,
"the Person”) of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen.”
So Faith is "The Person”… Not
a person, not a substance, but The
Person…Then if you do not have that Person how can you have
Faith? For Faith is “The Person”,
faith is “The Substance”…that we
hope for. In 2 John
9 we read, “If you do not have or echo the doctrine of Christ you do not
have or echo God… And therefore, God who is the Holy Ghost, is what
we hope for, He is the substance of what we
hope for, He is the evidence of what we do
not see, taste, feel, smell or hear. Because he is the Invisible, immortal
King. And so we see that Jesus was projected from the mind of God into physical
substance as a person, in order to reflect the very nature of God to a lost and
dying world.
From His
sermon Identification 63-0123 P: 21 Brother Branham said, “But when He seen that His
creation had fallen, now His own loving character molded Himself into the Person of Christ. God's own character of love projected Himself in the man, Christ. As
Paul, speaking here, "Thinking it not robbery, but making himself equal, equal to God,"
rather. See, His own character molded
that kind of a Person. Oh, no one could ever do that but God.”
Branham said about him in, Sirs we would see
Jesus 57-1211 021 Now, Jesus was born for one purpose,
that was for God to manifest Himself through that body. God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. He was a body that was made physical, that men and women
could see what He thought, and His
expressions to the people in His gratefulness. And His attitude towards all mankind, He expressed it
through Christ. Christ seemed to be a dual personality. He
would speak sometimes and they'd scratch their heads; and they didn't
understand Him. He'd speak one thing one time, look like, and something else
another time. What it was, was Jesus speaking, and then Christ speaking. Jesus was the man. Christ was
the God that was in Him. "Not
Me that doeth the works: My Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the work." See? God will not
share His glory with no one.
That is exactly what the Apostle John said in 1 John 1:1 was saying, That which was from
the beginning, (now, what
was in the beginning? Genesis 1:1 in the beginning God... and John 1:1 In the
beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the word was God.) That which was from
the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we
have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; 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) 3 That which we have seen
and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and
truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with
his Son Jesus Christ.
So we saw the literal Source of Life, live itself out among men in the
body of His son. God expressing Himself in His Son. Jesus said, “when you see me you see the Father also."
Why? because he was so one with God that all he did was what the Father showed
Him to do. "The Father worketh and the son worketh hitherto".
In his sermon Christ is identified the same
64-0415 P:26 Brother Branham said He was the manifestation
of God. He was God in Christ,
reconciling the world to Himself. He was
expressing what the Father was in Himself. He said, "I
do always that which pleases the Father. And I and the Father are One. The Father dwells in Me. When you see
Me, you've seen the Father." In other words, He expressed
God, the Spirit so much in Him, that He and the Father, it wasn't
robbery for Him to be the same Person.
Now, you might think, How could two separate beings become one person?
How could another person become the other person? How could that be? Well,
brother Branham always taught us, “if you have the
spirit of Dillinger in you, you will rob banks. If you have the spirit of
Beethoven in you, you will create music. So if you have the Spirit of God in
you, you will do the works of God." Because we are three parts
to our being, and two parts are supernatural while the flesh is just a mask or
vessel for our spirit and soul to dwell in, in order to express the Life in.
Therefore, if we are born again, and God’s very own Life is growing up within
us, then should not that Spirit act out it’s own nature in our flesh? Should
not the very nature of the Life that is taking over our vessel, project that
nature through our vessel?
From his sermon Identification 63-0123 P:65
Brother Branham said, "If you were in that day, what group would you be identified
with? With the prophet with the vindicated Word, although they were in the
minority? Or would you be with the popular opinion folks? "Well, I tell
you; I believe that man's crazy." And the only way that you'd ever know he wasn't crazy is for the same God to
reveal to you the same thing He'd revealed to Moses. And the only way that we'll ever be able to be the images of God, and the
sons of God, is for God to reveal to us, and express Himself through His Word
to us, and us to the world. That's
the only channel, for
Christ was the Image here on earth that you could see God in a man, expressed
Image of God, because God was in Him so much that they were One. And
now when Christ left, He sanctified the church that the church might take His place
and express the Word of God. See? That's the only way it can be done. Oh, my.
66 Would you be with the popular folks who had the popular opinion?
"As long as I belong to church, and maybe because I danced in the Spirit
I'm all right." Maybe, "Because I've spoken with tongues, I'm all
right." Or maybe, "We got a good pastor, and I'm all right."
Now, those things are loyal. I have nothing to say against that. That's true.
But this plan of salvation is an individual affair with you. Speaking in tongues is a gift of
God. Dancing in the Spirit is the Presence and glory of God. But for you to let your character be molded into the image of God, that He
projects Himself, and you are His idol walking on the earth, the expressed
image of Him...Now, would you be willing to do that in the days of
Noah? Or would you have been on the critical side, criticizing both the prophet
and his God-sent message? Now, think of it. Which side would you think, in your
present state now, would you took? Now, be honest,...
So we see that God wants to project His very Life, His very nature into
and through our vessels as He did through His own sons vessel. In fact brother
Branham said that God had a threefold plan, first to project Himself through
His Son, then through His other children, and finally to the place where he can
fellowship with us like he did with Adam back in the garden of Eden before the
fall.
Christ is the mystery 63-0728 P:85 Now,
that's when He can express the preeminences. You see? He's got the man or the
person so that he knows nothing but Christ. You get what I mean? All right.
That's secondly. First, to express Himself
completely: God in Christ. Second, to have the preeminences by this in His
Church (which is His Body, Bride) to... He could have the preeminence to
express Himself through them. All right. And thirdly, to restore the Kingdom to its rightly position that fell by
sin by the first Adam, back to where He walked in the cool of the evening with
His people, talked with them, fellowshipped with them. And now sin and
death had separated them from His Presence and His entire expression.
Christ is the mystery 63-0728 P:179 First, to express Himself in Christ and
then He expressed Himself through the Church, and the same thing, Christ was
the Word. And the church becomes the Word when
it lets the Word go through them. But when they accept the hybrid
denomination, how can the Word go through it? It's grounded; then it causes a
short and blows a fuse. See? But when the current is flowing freely, the Word of God, It expresses Itself. "The
works that I do shall you do also." And in the last days it shall come
to pass, "Behold I send to you Elijah, the prophet,
and he shall turn the hearts of the children back to the faith of the fathers."
180 And in there, there'd be a time come forth when He could express
Himself in Fullness of His Godhead (Deity) through His Church,
have the pre-eminences in this Church. Oh, my. What? The anointed Man, now
the anointed people (oh, my) to
bring back the anointed Bride and the Bridegroom. Anointed by why?
Accepting what Eve turned down (and Adam), coming
back with the anointing of the Word, because He said, "My Word is
Spirit." See? Anointed with the Word. What Eve turned down, He comes back
and we accept.
Shalom 64-011 7
"No Man has seen God at any time, but the only begotten of the Father has
declared Him." See? In other words, God was identified. The Person of God was identified in the Body, the Lord Jesus Christ,
so He was the expressed image of God. Or, God expressing
Himself through an image, see, through an image,
As I Was With Moses 51-0503 E-15 I believe that the Father was in Him, that all the great things
that was the Father's was given unto His Son, all the great blessings and
gifts; for He was just expressed image of the Father. And in Him dwelled all
the richness of God dwelling in Him here, looking up. And He said, "I and My Father are One. My Father dwelleth
in Me." Just what
Jehovah was, Jesus was. He was the expressed image of Him. He was God shaped out here, and all
the powers of God formed into, and put in a human body. He said,
"It's not Me that
doeth the works; it's My Father that dwelleth in Me; He doeth the works."
Now, from The Spoken Word is the Original Seed we see
in paragraph 21 and 22 that brother Branham is telling us that Every Seed must
come forth or express the nature after it’s kind. And we know he is talking about The Son of
God coming forth or being projected as the very the image of His Father. But in
paragraph 23 he tells us that the Word of God keeps going on and on and on, as
if to tell us that God has other seed also that must come forth and be
projected into that same image reflecting that same nature.
Identification
63-0123 23 Now therefore, His loving
character of love, oh, for us, it makes plain John 3:16, "For God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not
perish, but would have Eternal Life." God, projecting Himself, and become man that He might have upon Him
the form of His creation.
Christ is the Mystery 63-0728
45-1 God is not known by education; He's not known by how to
explain it. God is known by simplicity
and of revelation of Jesus Christ in the most illiterate person. See? Not your theology; it's a revelation of
Jesus Christ. "Upon this rock, I'll build My Church." No other
rock's accepted; no other thing's accepted; no other Roman rock; no other
Protestant rock; no other school; no other nothing; but on exactly the revelation of Jesus Christ in a new
birth. He, born in there, and injects His own Life, and your
life is gone, and the Life of Christ is projecting Itself through you with
the pre-eminences to the people that they see the very Life, and
works, and signs and wonders that He did is doing the same thing through you.
Outside of that, the rest of it's not even called to at all.
In Who is this Melchisedec pp. 40 brother
Branham spoke of projecting God Life into His Son and called it en-morphe. And now the Greek word "En morphe" means that he changed His mask. And that's
what God did. It's the same God all the time. God in the form of the
Father, The Spirit, the Pillar of Fire, the same God
was made flesh and dwelt among us: "En morphe,"
brought out so He could be seen.
The Vines Greek Dictionary tells us the meaning
of “en-morphe” is 1) the form by which a person or
thing "strikes the vision";
external appearance. Now, I like that because Faith is The Person,
and Jesus was the exact expression of The Person. And en-morphe is the form by which The Person
strikes the vision…
Now, what does that mean? To strike the vision? Like in a theatre, you
walk in and see a large blank screen, but when the projector is turned on, when
the Light strikes the screen, the image is projected onto the Screen. The light
strikes the wall and the vision that is in the Light strikes the wall
projecting to you the image that was in the light.
And if you walk in the Light
as He is In the Light, then you have fellowship, and fellowship is two fellows
in the same ship, and you and God are walking hand in hand like Enoch did, and
if you are truly walking in the light then
you and he become the self same person… His Vision through the Conduit of His Light
strikes you and you reflect Him, o hallelujah!!!
Then it is no longer you that is living but Christ is living in You. You are crucified to yourself, but nevertheless you are still living, yet
it is not you that is living, but Christ is living and expressing Himself
through you, and the Life that you are now living in your flesh, you are living
by the faith of the Son of God, whose faith is living itself out in your life for
you, in you, and through you…
Colossians 3: 4 "When Christ
who is our Life shall appear, then shall we appear with Him in Glory." So if we appear when He appears, if we
manifest in our true identity when He manifested in His true Identity in this
hour, then he says that we shall appear with Him in Glory, which is the same
Doxa, opinion, values and judgment that
he has. In other words, we are to manifest when he manifests with the same mind
that was in Christ. Then if it is the
same mind, then it will be the same attitude that he had towards His Father’s
Word.
And
in 1 John 3:2 we
see read, 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it
doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear,
we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3 And
every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure."
Then,
if we believe when he appears, that we are to be like Him, wouldn’t that create
an atmosphere around us like he had? It did with brother Branham because he was
a yielded and obedient son. Why then are we not seeing the same thing among the
churches today?
EPHESIANS 3:20
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or
think, according to the power that worketh in us, And that word “worketh”
is translated from the Greek word energeo
{en-erg-eh'-o} and it means "to display one's activity, -- to effectually
work and it speaks of the energies of the one doing the work."
So our own predestination comes forth from God's own
purpose. "being predestinated according to the
purpose of him". God's own purpose in which He worketh all things after the counsel of his own will".
And this word "worketh" is also
the energeo of God. And it means to show forth (one's) self. Therefore, it is the expression of the one who
is doing the work. It is an effectual fervent effort on behalf
of the one it is directed towards. So you see then it is not you doing the work
at all, but just getting out of the way, and letting Christ live out your life
for you.
Now, you might ask, How can
I get myself out of the picture, that God can live my life for me? Well, first
of All He is the Word, and He is Love. Now, Jesus said My Word is Spirit
and Life. So the Life must be governed by the Spirit and all in accordance to
God’s Word. That is the governing agent or the boundaries that we have in
living this life, is that God’s Word is our conduit, and as long as the life is
living itself out within the conduit of the Word, then we know that it is God-Life.
Our spirit is governed by
The Word. And what governs the Word?
Love, for God is Love. The word without Love is legalistic. Love without the
Word is in danger of lust.
But God is both the Word and
Love. And he is the Life. So our Life molded by his Word, governed by His love.
Paul said in Galatians 5:6 For
in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision;
but faith which worketh by love. Notice, Paul tells us again that our Faith worketh by Love. The word worketh
is the Greek word
energeo and it means energizes. Our Faith is energized by Love.
Personal experience with God 54-072443
Oh, we say, "We have faith. We have love." But if we had love, we'd
have faith, for that is... "Perfect love casteth out all fear." And when fear is gone, faith is perfect.
Notice Paul said our Faith worketh by Love. Therefore we
must first have love in order to bring forth our faith.
Wisdom versus Faith 62-0401 73-2
The disciples had It sowed into them, then the Spirit come to energize the
Word. See? "Not by power, not by might, not by wisdom,
not by understanding, not by this, not by that, but by My Spirit I will
energize My Word. By My Spirit, says the Lord." It's the water of the
Word of faith that energizes the Word of God and makes It work,
I Thessalonians 1:3
Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love,
and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our
Father;
Now notice, Paul speaks of
works OF
faith, and labor OF
love, and patience OF
hope. The word OF shows
possession and means Out
From, and therefore we can read it as your works which spring forth or spring out from your faith (revelation),
and your labor which comes
forth as a result of Love, etc. It is the Love which produces it. Love
then is an energizing power.
Now, in reading from the Wuest
translation, we get a better appreciation for this scripture. 1 Thessalonians 1:4 Wuest "Remembering
unceasingly your works produced and characterized by the Faith which is
yours, and your toil which is motivated and characterized by your divine
and self sacrificial Love, and your patient endurance under trials which
finds it's source in your hope which rests in our Lord Jesus Christ in the
presence of God, even the father."
Notice what
Paul tells the same church at Thessalonica several years later when he writes
to them again. II Thessalonians 1:2 Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord
Jesus Christ. 3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is
meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you
all toward each other aboundeth; Paul said you Faith is Growing and
it is showing in the way you treat each other.
Investments
63-0126 P:84 Jesus Christ was the
expressed Image of God. He was what God through His power projected: a body which was called Son because He
was a man, and He come from God. And He
was so committed to God, till He didn't think it robbery that Him and God being
the same Person. And they were, because God was the Word, and He was the
Word. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God. And there's where God could take His Word
without anything, any
interruption. He was
constantly doing what the Father wanted done. And there the Word could work
through Him there, till...?... Him
and Father was One. And then He took that perfect Life and all of our sins,
and placed it upon that perfect Life and He died that we renegades could die to ourselves and be born of above, and His Word could work through us the works of God.
Now, remember we've read several quotes already where
brother Branham himself is quoting from this same of scripture and says, he thought it not
robbery to be equal with God, to become the
same person…
Now, in order to become the same person, right there it
shows he was not the same person to begin with. After all we read in the book
of Acts 2:36 Therefore let all
the house of Israel know assuredly, that God
hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. So
if God made him Lord and Christ he wasn’t that to begin with.
In his sermon Super Sign pp. 78 Brother Branham said, Now, let me tell you. Anything outside of being born gain will never reach
the Rapture.
Unless there is a germ of Life inside
you, you'll perish. You cannot rise up again." And so I hope you will
understand why I constantly bring these things to you attention. Because after
all we will all have to give account of
what we have done with this great Message that God has Given to us. Every one of us, both small and great, will have to give
an account for what we have done in our bodies.
Contending For The Faith
(55-0220 E-49 Then notice, Jesus said as soon as the
this was done. He said to them... Listen at His words,
Now, then the question you surely must be thinking by this time, is then how do I become so one with God that
His life comes into me to take over my life? How can I get out of the
way so that His life lives itself out in me?
The only way you can do that is by His grace.
Romans 5:1 Therefore
being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 By whom also we have access by faith (notice that revelation also gives us access) into this grace
(so what is this grace) wherein we stand and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only so,
but we glory (that’s not doxa, it’s kauchomai meaning to boast) in tribulations
also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4 And
patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5 And hope
maketh not ashamed; because the love
of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto
us.
Christ is the
mystery 63-0728 P:124 The new birth is Christ, is a revelation.
God has revealed to you this great mystery, and that's the new birth. Now, what are you going to do when you get all
that group together, where the
revelation is perfectly in harmony, and God expressing it through His Word by the same
actions, the same things that He did, making the Word manifest?
Oh, if the Church only knew its
position. It will one day. Then, the rapture will go when it knows what it is.
Now, notice. You say, "Brother Branham, but that ain't..." Oh, yes,
it is, too. It is the Truth.
Christ is the
mystery 63-0728 P:12 Look,
Christ in you makes Him
the center of Life of the revelation. See? Christ's
Life in you makes Him the center of the revelation. Christ in the
Bible, makes the Bible a complete revelation of Christ. Christ in you
makes you the complete revelation of the whole thing. See, what
God's trying to do? What is the new
birth then? You say, "Well, Brother Branham, what is the new birth?" It is the revelation of Jesus Christ personally to you.
Amen. See? Not you joined a church, you shook a hand; you done something
different; you said a creed; you promised to live by a code of rules; but Christ, the Bible... He is the Word that
was revealed to you. And no matter what anybody says, what takes place,
it's Christ. Pastor, priest, whatever it might be... It's Christ in you. That is the revelation that the Church was built
upon.
1 Corinthians
So you see, God wants to place his mind, his thoughts in you, so
that you will live.
Contending
for the faith 55-0220E P:66 Jesus
said, "Except a man be
born again, he cannot see the Kingdom." You
can't understand it. It's a mystic, mythical thing until you're born again.
There the very Life of God comes in you. Everlasting, Eternal Life,
Zoe, God's own Life comes in you, and
then you're a part of God. You're a Son of God or a daughter of God. And then you see as God sees. You believe as God believes.
And how is that
possible? Because you have the mind of Christ, because you have the spirit of
God in you.
Behold I stand at the door 58-0617 P:2 We
become so earth bound with our finite way of thinking to His great, infinite
mind till we just get one, little course set up, and we feel like we're just
going fine; but if we could only look and see as God sees,
how much different things would look and be to us.
That is why Jesus prayed as
he did in John 17. He said, In John
Therefore it is very apparent that we are one by
receiving the same Word which bring us into the same Glory or same mind as the
Father. And the glory which thou gavest me I have
given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
HARVEST
TIME 641212 87 034 Jesus said, "That they might be one, Father, as You and I
are one." Not for
some man to be over something, it never will work; one denomination wants to
take over the other, and one man over the other. But that you might be
one with God, like Christ and God was one; that's what the prayer is.
That... He was the
Word, and Jesus prayed that we might be the Word, reflecting Him.
That's His prayer to be answered. See how Satan scruples it up in the carnal
mind? But that wasn't Jesus' prayer, at all, that we might all congregate
together and all have a certain creed and so forth. Every time they do it, they
go further and further from God. He wants us to be one with God, and God is the Word. Each individual in his heart must be that one with God.
Divine love 57-0305 P:12 The
Bible said, "That God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten
Son." Now, God's love to the world, and God is love. And when God
projected Himself to the world to save the world, there could be nothing else
but sovereign grace to produce a Saviour. When God loves, something has to
operate. And God so loved the world that a Divine Saviour appeared; His grace
provided that Saviour. It was because of His love that brought forth this
Saviour. Now, in the day that we're
living and in all days, we were born to be sons and daughters of God. We are offspring of God. And being offspring of God,
there's something about us that believes God. There's something in
you that calls out for something.
Look
63-0428 P:56 Pharaoh
did not have this potential. He was offered it, but refused it. And when he
refused it then he couldn't focus. No man, after he's turned down the Word of
God, can ever focus himself into it, because you refused the Word that brings
you into relationship with Christ. That's right. So...But Moses looked out of
this window. He believed it. Why? Moses looked by faith. That's how Moses
looked. Now, listen real close to this remark. Faith... Now, don't forget to
get this now. Faith is designed to see
what God wills and wants. There is no knowledge that can do that. Faith alone is designed and give to the
human race to find out what the will of God is. And you take your faith
that you've got and it don't focus with the Word, then leave it alone, you got
the wrong faith. But when your God given
faith focus you with the Word of God, you're directly in line and zeroed.
Oh, my. God help us this hour, great hour that we live in. Faith, designed to
see what God wants. How do you see it? Through the camera of His Word, His
promise. This is a full revelation of Jesus Christ.
Why cry
speak 63-0714M P:65 Now,
watch what takes place now. Moses saw this by a vision and Pharaoh said that,
"This is great." God said, "It's an abomination." So God...
Moses chose what God said. Now,
notice, faith sees what God wants you to
see. See? Faith sees what God sees,
and reasoning and senses see what the world wants you to see. Notice,
reasoning. "Why, it's only human sense; it's only--only reason it's this.
This is... Well, ain't this just as good." See? That's just exactly when
you use those senses which is contrary to the Word (See?), then that's what the
world wants you to see. But faith don't look at that; faith looks what God said. See, see? You cast down reasons.
Isaiah 42: 19 Who
is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as
he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD'S servant?
The NIV says, Who is blind like my servant, and deaf like the Messenger I
send? Who is blind like the one that is
committed to me, blind like the servant of the Lord? You have seen many
things but have paid no attention, your ears are open, but you hear nothing. You
Pleased the Lord for the sake or righteousness, to make His law great and
glorious.
Total deliverance 59-0712 pp.
55-56 Jesus was completely, totally man. He could cry like a
man, He could eat like a man; He could become like a man. He was completely,
totally man in His physical being. And in His Spirit, He was completely,
totally God, so He made His flesh submissive to the Spirit that
was IN Him. You see, He was tempted in all manners like we
are. He was man, not an Angel. He was a man. He had desires and temptations
just like we do. The Bible said He did. He was a man, not an Angel above temptation.
Hebrews 1 said that He was...
Hebrews 1:4 said He was made lower than the Angels. He was man, completely man, that God took a complete man to bring
total deliverance; and He filled Him
with His Spirit; the Holy Ghost was in Him without measure. And He was
tempted like we were. And He was
completely God. He proved it when He raised the dead, when He stopped
nature, the roaring seas and the mighty winds. When He spoke to the trees, and
so forth, they obeyed Him. He was God
inside. And He could've been man, for He
was Man, but He totally and completely delivered Himself as a Man into the
hands of God for the service of God. And He is our example. 56 We
are men and women. We're also Christians. If
He's our example, let us completely deliver ourselves into the hands of the
Holy Ghost, that we might be subjects of the
Jesus was so committed
to his Father, that he did nothing, but what God showed him to do., he spoke
nothing but what God commanded him to speak, he taught no doctrine but what
doctrine God instructed him to teach and he did not do his own will, but the
will of Him that sent him.
