But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Introduction.
Introduction.
Bro. Wayne took his text last Friday from this scripture, and read the quote from It is the Rising of the Son that we will deal with tonight, in a slightly different way.
After his introduction Bro. Branham goes to Leviticus to show a type.
The Old Testament is a shadow of the New Testament.
Leviticus 23:10 (KJV 1900)
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you,
82 “Unto the place, the position, that I have given unto you.
Now you speak to the children of Israel, that when you get to this certain place that I’ve promised you I’d take you, when you get there in this land.” Now speaking natural here, typing the spiritual.
This Message is not just a deliverance Message but it is a positioning Message.
Bro. Branham taught us that Ephesians paralleled Joshua. Joshua placed Israel, Ephesians places the church.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
Bro. Branham taught were in Him when He walked the earth. “The Word was made flesh, you walked with Him, you suffered with Him, and you died with Him. You was buried with Him. And now you are risen with Him, manifested attributes of God, setting in Heavenly places; already raised, resurrected to new Life, and setting in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”
When we are in heavenly places we are placed together.
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Now, just not out anywhere, but in Heavenly places. We are assembled in “Heavenly,” it means that the position of the believer.
That, if I’m prayed up, you’re prayed up, or the church is prayed up, and we’re ready for the Message, and we have assembled ourselves together as saints,
called out, baptized with the Holy Ghost, filled with God’s blessings, called, elected, set together in Heavenly places now, we are Heavenlies in our souls.
Our spirits has brought us into a Heavenly atmosphere. Oh, brother! There you are, a Heavenly atmosphere!
Oh, what could happen tonight, if we would be sitting here in a Heavenly atmosphere, and the Holy Spirit moving over every heart that’s been regenerated and become a new creature in Christ Jesus?
All sins under the Blood, in perfect worship, with our hands up to God and our hearts lifted, setting in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus, worshipping together in the Heavenly places.
Did you ever set in one? Oh, I have set till I would weep for joy and say, “God, never let me leave here.” Just Heavenly places in Christ Jesus! 60-0515E - Adoption #1
Why are churches dead and cold? The promises are never preached. They don’t know who they are or what they own.
You can’t sit together in heavenly places unless your souls are lifted up together by the Word.
After the Church takes Its position, we’re called to the adoption of sons, by the Holy Spirit.
And when each man takes his position, what God has called him to do, and stand to the end of the road, going after the lost.
(Abraham and Lot)
First, Paul takes all the scare out of it, so now, “If you’re called, if you’re not just worked up in your mind by some kind of theology, if you’re really born of the Spirit,
then God predestinated you before the foundation of the world, put your name on the Lamb’s Book of Life, and now we come together to sit in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
A holy people, a holy nation, a peculiar people, royal priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices unto God, that is, the fruits of our lips giving praise to His Name.”
People come in and say, “Them people are crazy.” Sure they are; the wisdom of God is foolish to man, and the wisdom of man is foolish to God. They’re contrary, one to the other.
But a real Spirit-filled church, full of power of God, sitting together in Heavenly places, offering spiritual sacrifices, praises of God,
the Holy Spirit moving among them, discerning sin and calling out the things that’s among them that’s wrong, straightened out and making it flat and level.
Because why? Always in the Presence of God is that bloody Sacrifice. 60-0522E - Adoption #4
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
…and shall reap the harvest thereof (you have received what I told you thereof),
65-0418M - It Is The Rising Of The Sun
(Manifested Word)
And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the selfsame day.
And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
The manifestation of the promise comes to its maturity.
…When the little baby Christ was born, three stars went together and made the one morning star, that reflected the Coming of a infant Christ, a perfect One.
(Bro. Branham sees on the news that 5 stars are in line with the earth.)
What’s five? A number of grace. Every time those stars come, then something happens on earth. What taken place? Five stars fell in. What was it? An introducing of what?
(Earthquakes, floods, etc.)
What’s happened? An infant Church, hallelujah, a Bride, infancy, that the power of God has begin to fall on Her, She is taking form, a Bride for this Bridegroom.
What happened now? It’s the Church of the living God coming together under the Word of God, and the astronomic heaven is announcing Her approach.
Friends, the Church is coming forth. God is going to have a Church without spot or wrinkle, and She is predestinated, God said so, He would have It, that makes it right.
Who is a member? I don’t know. I’m trusting to be myself, I’m trusting you are a member. But He is going to have a Body without spot or wrinkle.
As God in His Word made manifest in a Man, a perfect Man, so is God and His Word coming again, and making Himself manifested in a Bride.
Not will do like Eve did, hybreed It to something else, but the unadulterated Word of God will be borned into that Church, and She will stand like Jesus Christ did, with His Spirit anointing in His Word.
Amen. I believe it’s the announcement now.
(East to West)
The same sun that rises in the east is the same sun that sets in the west, the same s-u-n.
And the same S-o-n, Son of God that come to the earth to take a bride on the eastern people, and that bride polluted herself like Eve did, like Jehovah’s bride did,
that same Son that shines there, that shined there with His same power upon Pentecost, to ripen the Seed that He had planted, that same Son is shining now in the western hemisphere.
To what? Ripen the Seed that has been planted to bring forth a Bride.
The evening Light of the Gospel will bring forth a Bride, amen, for the Lord Jesus. 62-0319 - The End-Time Sign Seed
(Zechariah 14:7)
Now when Truth comes forth, what’s happen? Not the shuck; but the Life goes right out from the shuck, right into the grain, the real true Life.
The organization stands there, dies, just like it has done in every age, it does the same. You come out of that, fifty years ago, and went right back into it again!
But real Life follows the grain, we’re at the end time, brethren.
What did it pull away for? So that it would bring the grain in presence of the Son, to ripen the grain to a golden ripen for the Master.
Why has it pulled away? So, it causes heartaches, tears, that they don’t lay before the s-u-n, but the S-o-n, to be ripened to the true full Gospel, to manifest everything that Jesus Christ promised in the Bible.
There is raising up a Body today among the people. And there will be no more organizations, it goes right out into rich Laodicea. 64-1221 - Why It Had To Be Shepherd
I believe we have Truth. I’m satisfied of that. I believe the wheat is, absolutely, the shuck is pulling away from it. You know.
But the wheat has to lay in the Presence of the Son, to ripen.
And that’s what we’re here for, friend, stay in the Presence of the Son till our little group of people here, till it becomes so ripe to Christ, it become bread on His table.
65-0217 - A Man Running From The Presence Of The Lord
(People say they are laying in the presence of the Son but they don’t have a mature crop. the seed doesn’t look like what went into the ground.)
Pentecost will only sheltered the Message, give It an open door until It gets scattered, and then the shuck will pull away, and the wheat will lay in the Presence of the Son, see, to ripen.
There won’t be any denomination, just remember. ...There’s never been a revival but about three years after the revival they started a denomination on it.
And this last great miracle move of God in this last days, it’s went twenty years; and it’s a million miles from a denomination, going further away all the time; the shuck’s pulling away, no cooperation, no nothing with It.
Always it pulls away from It. There can’t be no more, it’s a wheat now. But we’re plenty green. Uh-huh. That’s right.
(What will laying in the sun do? The greenness is not miracles signs and wonders)
Have to lay in the Presence of the Son to be mellowed up, that’s all of it. Plenty green; we haven’t got the sincerity, the sacredness,
the thing we ought to have in our midst, to know that the Spirit of the living God, moving in His Word and showing us the things, yet. 65-1127B - Trying To Do God A Service Without It Being God's Will
Think how long this been going on, twenty-something years, and no organization. Why? It’s the Seed, coming, forming under the husk, like this.
Laying out, now it’s got to lay in the Presence of the Son, to ripen into the glorious grain like the One that went into the first.
The real Church that went down, first, is coming right back up through the stalk, to come out, another Church, when the combine comes to pick It up.
The Life that went down in Luther, the Life that went down in the Methodist, the Life that went down in the Pentecostal, will come into the grain.
It’ll all go right into the grain, and go out, forming the perfect Body of Jesus Christ.
65-1205 - Things That Are To Be
The thing that’s the matter with the Message today, is, those who obtain It in their hearts must lay in the Presence of the Son, to get ripened.
You can pick up the Message, and then let the Son bake all the greenness out of you, see, making matured Christians. See what I mean?
God is coming soon, to receive His Church, and we must have that type of Christians for Him to receive. The wheat has got to get ripe. 65-0822M - Christ Is Revealed In His Own Word
I believe the church is beginning to hear the Message, and begin to understand. But, friends, listen, we’ve got to lay in the Presence of the Son, we’ve got to be ripened.
Our faith isn’t ripe. Intellectually we’re hearing the Message that God has give us, and seeing the signs that He showed us, and proving it by the Bible, it’s there, but, oh, how the church needs to lay in His Presence till it tenders up, you know, and gets sweet in the Spirit so that it can bathe down.
Sometimes in speaking the Message, you get harsh, have to break it in like that, because you’ve got to clinch a nail to make it hold. But when the Church once gets It, the Elected is called out and separated, then in the Presence of God, I know it’ll be something like the people was There when It takes Its Rapture. 65-1128M - God's Only Provided Place Of Worship
What was there was Perfect Love.
All 7 virtues, all 9 spiritual gifts, all the fruits of the Spirit, everything that was promised must come to it’s full purpose and maturity, and then we go home.
Conclusion.
Conclusion.
And he shall wave the sheaf before the Lord, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
The Wave Sheaf has been accepted for you.
Christ in this age has been accepted for you, now it’s time for the rest of the field to ripen and become bread on His table.
