13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
Introduction
Introduction
When Moses came to Pharoah and said “Let my people go”, he was relying on the promise made 400 years earlier to Abraham.
God told Abraham “that nation will I judge, and they will come out with great substance”. They were promised a total deliverance.
In Exodus 10, God is fulfilling His Word by plaguing Egypt, but now Pharoah attempts to negotiate.
8 And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve the Lord your God: but who are they that shall go?
9 And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast unto the Lord.
He said “we still believe in Genesis 15:14.” They shall come out with great substance.
If Satan can’t get you to disbelieve the promise in its entirety, he will attempt to negotiate with you.
Which part of the promise are you willing to give up on? None of it.
That’s the way the devil wants a Christian to come. “It’ll be all right for you to join the church, but don’t you never forgive Jones.
You don’t have to give up your smoking, your drinking, your lying, your stealing, your faultfinding, backbiting. You don’t have to give that up. Just join the church.”
But Moses wasn’t a compromiser. He wanted complete deliverance. He said, “We’ll not leave one hoof behind. We’ll take everything that belongs to us, when we go to worship the Lord.”
That’s the way the church ought to be. “We’ll take righteousness. We’ll take holiness. We’ll take the Holy Spirit. We’ll take a unified group when we go to the altar.
We’ll be a real group. We’ll leave nothing behind. We’ll take everything. There won’t be one hoof stay back here.” You know, and people can pray in such a way till the devil will have to give in. 59-0712 - "A Total Deliverance"
We have total deliverance through the blood of Christ.
All Jesus’ works was complete. Everything was complete, total, delivered. He totally delivered the leper from leprosy. He totally delivered the woman with the blood issue, from her issue.
He totally delivered the world from sin, when He died at the day of the atonement. He totally delivered every sin. He delivered the Church.
So there’s no need for us to live underprivileged, people. There’s no need for us to live in a defeated state, because He defeated the devil and took all the principalities and powers, and subdued them under His feet, and they have no legal rights to rule over you.
We are Christians, filled with the Holy Ghost. We don’t have to have the devil dictate to us. Christ delivered us, total deliverance; delivered us from evil, delivered us from sin, delivered us from habits, delivered us from talking, delivered us from blackguard, delivered us from all kinds of smutty things.
He totally delivered us and put us into His holy hands; a complete, total deliverance.
He delivered our sickness. He delivered us from sickness, for we have an abstract deed to that. Hallelujah! “For He was wounded for our transgressions, with His stripes we were healed.” He is our Healer. 59-0712 - "A Total Deliverance"
The same God that promised total deliverance to Abraham promised total deliverance to us.
This is not the age of a partial deliverance, but a total deliverance.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
This deliverance would not come to a helpless, hopeless, group, but to a fully restored Word Bride.
1. We still believe in Restoration
1. We still believe in Restoration
25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, The cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, My great army which I sent among you.
26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God, That hath dealt wondrously with you: And my people shall never be ashamed.
If we were to be restored, what would we be restored to?
3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
What faith is that?
The same One that come down on the Day of Pentecost, is the same Holy Ghost that’s manifested today, from Glory unto Glory, to Glory.
And is back to Its original Seed, with the baptism of the Holy Ghost; with the same signs, same wonders, same baptism; same kind of people, acting the same way, with the same power, the same sensation. It’s from Glory unto Glory.
And the next will be, “Changed from this Glory, into a body like His Own glorious body, where we shall see Him.” 64-0629 - "The Mighty God Unveiled Before Us"
We still believe:
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:
6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, And the heart of the children to their fathers, Lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
Now we are promised, in Malachi 4, by the same system He always did, that we would be restored back to the original Faith.
Oh, oh, my! Back to the original Seed, back to the Seed like it begin on the Day of Pentecost, back to the same Doctrine, Word by Word, power by power, Spirit by S-…the same thing, just exactly like it was back in the beginning, through signs and wonders of the living Presence of Jesus Christ.
After two thousand years, He is still alive. And He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. 63-0731 - "There Is Only One Way Provided By God For Anything"
We still believe in Mark 16.
We still believe in Acts 2.
We still believe:
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
We still believe:
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
That was manifested in our day.
2. We still Believe in Revelation
2. We still Believe in Revelation
We still believe in Revelation 10:1-7.
We believe the Book has been opened.
We still believe that when seven angels formed a cloud on Sunset Mountain, fulfilling Rev 10:1, William Branham was sent back to Tucson to preach the seven seals.
We still believe when the Seventh Angel sounded, the mystery was finished. The book was opened.
The mysteries was in the Seven Seals. When these Seven Seals was opened, that opened up the entire Bible. The Seven Seals; It was sealed with Seven Mysteries, and in these Seven Seals held the entire mystery of It. 63-1110M - "Souls That Are In Prison Now"
But since the opening of those Seven Seals, of them Angels just behind the mountain yonder, This has become a new Book. It’s the things that’s been hid, is being revealed as God promised in Revelation 10, He would do it.
And we are the privileged people that God has chosen, of the earth, that we might see and understand these things; which is not some mythical, fleshly mind of a person trying to make it up.
It’s the Word of God made manifest, proven, that It’s right. Proven, not by science, but by God, that It’s right. 65-0911 - "God's Power To Transform"
Notice, the very day when this messenger…Not when he starts on, but when he begins to declare his Message. See? The First Pull, healing; Second Pull, prophesying; Third Pull, the opening of the Word, the mysteries revealed.
No more, there is no more higher order to reveal the Word, than prophets. But the only way the prophet can be vindicated is by the Word.
And, remember, the Third Pull was the opening of them Seven Seals, to reveal the hidden Truth that’s been sealed in the Word. 65-0725M - "The Anointed Ones At The End Time"
Now this messenger of Malachi 4 and Revelation 10:7 is going to do two things. One: According to Malachi 4 he will turn the hearts of the children to the fathers.
Two: He will reveal the mysteries of the seven thunders in Revelation 10 which are the revelations contained in the seven seals. It will be these Divinely revealed “mystery-truths” that literally turn the hearts of the children to the Pentecostal fathers. An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages (9 - The Laodicean Church Age)
We still believe the Book has been opened. If the Book is opened, we will not leave here a weak, cast off sinful, dirty Bride.
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
We still believe in a perfect, sinless Bride, not one Word failing anywhere.
We still believe He is the Word. So when a Spirit-born, Spirit-filled man in faith takes that Word into his heart and places it upon his lips, why that is the same as Deity speaking.
We still believe that a man can live so close to God, till the devil don’t know what to do with him.
3. We still believe in the Old Time Religion
3. We still believe in the Old Time Religion
We still believe in a good, old-fashioned, sky-blue, sin-killing religion.
We still believe that we need preaching that makes Heaven high, and hell hot, gun-barrel straight.
We still believe the Blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all unrighteousness. We become sons and daughters of God by confessing our sins and accepting this Blood, no matter what church you belong to. And we believe that with all of our heart. 54-0404E - "God Has A Provided Way"
We still believe in screaming, shouting and speaking in tongues.
You say “we don’t want that”. That’s because you’re a modern church.
Neither does the modern church want any of these here, screaming, shouting, tongues-speaking, Acts 2:38 young’ns around her.
She don’t want any of them whooping, and crying, and screaming, “Amen! Hallelujah!” Why, such a child would immediately put her out of her denomination.
They had one like that in one of the churches, why, they’d throw her out right quick. “Why you letting such stuff as this go along?”
But she don’t want none of them screaming, hollering, blabbering, Acts 2:38, miserable creatures that she thinks they are. It would certainly embarrass her. It would ruin her and her educated, ethical, scientific society church that she belonged to here.
She can’t have it. So she don’t want to be pregnated with the Word, because that’s the only kind that the Word can bring forth.
Born of the Spirit of God, it has the Spirit of God in it. No intellectual church-join and creed-going, bobbed hair, painted face; there’s no such a thing as that in all of It.
You don’t find that in the Word of God. You find an old-fashion, sanctified, Holy Ghost-filled child, born of the Spirit of God, screaming, hollering, shouting, praising God. 65-1125 - "The Invisible Union Of The Bride Of Christ"
I’ve heard it said that Bro. Branham only said that at Bro. Moore’s church to make the pentecostals happy.
That is just another attempt to negotiate.
Let my people go, and believe all the Word.
Listen to this He preached at Jeffersonville:
And, today, the scientific theory of the modern so-called religious groups has tried to prove that this blessed Thing that we have, called the Holy Spirit, is only emotion. See, it just don’t stand up according to their scientific theory.
Well, I would like to ask them this, what makes them change? What makes the drunkard stop drinking? What makes the prostitute cease her evil life?
What makes the cancer and the—the diseases depart from the people, and the deaf, dumb, and blind, and the dead to raise up? Explain that. Is that emotion? It has emotion with it, certainly.
Anything that’s alive has emotion, and anything that doesn’t have emotion is dead. Excuse the expression, but I think we ought to bury some of our emotionless religion then, because it’s dead.
It has no emotion to it. Any religion that has not emotion should be buried, uh-huh, because, It is emotional!
Jesus, when He entered the city, the children and all of them, all of His friends, crying, “Hosanna! Him that cometh in the Name of the Lord!”
And those religionists of that day couldn’t stand it, it was too emotional. He said, “If they hold their peace, the rocks will immediately cry out.” See? Something must cry out, because life was there. 62-0603 - "The End-Time Evangelism"
We still believe in fellowship among believers.
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
Paul never limited this to one church.
When you have opportunity, assemble.
At Tucson Tabernacle:
Bro. Branham talked about how he used to have to go to Jeffersonville and let everyone listen in on the telephone hookup:
Well, we don’t have to do that no more. God gives me a Message, I can walk right here to the pulpit and preach it, and feel free to do it.
And I believe, by that, that God Almighty will bless you if you will just stand by this church now, this group of people.
Not only that, but let’s go out and see if we can’t get others to come in. See, let’s speak to others everywhere, speak to them about our church and what it means.
What our church…We’re here. We want you to come, bring in strangers, and I’m sure it will be good for all of us. See? We have a building, which we are thankful for. We’re thankful for this place, to gather together.
But, “Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands, see, ‘For Heaven is My throne, and earth is My footstool; and where is the place of My rest? But a body has Thou prepared Me.’”
And we are a Body of Christ. So as we move from one building to another building, I believe, in bringing our Messages, and we’ll come down and have healing services.
And anything the Lord reveals to us to do, we’ll have it right here in the church, until it swells out so big you’ll have to take it somewhere else, and somewhere else, until Jesus comes. 65-1121 - "What House Will You Build Me?"
I guarantee you all the folks who don’t believe in prayer lines would suddenly believe in doing them again if Bro. Branham was here.
Jesus is here. He never left.
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. 63-0728 - "Christ Is The Mystery Of God Revealed"
We may not be able to bring the Bride together around the world, but we can do our part in our area to see a total deliverance.
Conclusion
Conclusion
Don’t compromise on any promise of the Word.
We still believe in eating the entire book.
8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
That Word has to come to pass, It’s God’s Word! Plant It in your heart, if you want to go in a Rapture. If you want to be Christians genuine, place this Word.
As I believe it was Ezekiel, God said, “Take that scroll and eat it up,” that the prophet and the Word would become the same. And every promise in there has to manifest itself, because it’s God’s original Seed. 65-0911 - "God's Power To Transform"
