Prayer

Don’t say “you’re a moron” say “you’re gonna make it”.

Not just a self help theory or positive thinking, but based on the reality of who you are and where you are.

Don’t you want to be in that city?

1 Corinthians 2:9 KJV 1900
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
407 Well, it isn’t perfect; it’s beyond perfect. It’s not sublime; it’s beyond sublime.
There is no name can…You can’t think…There ain’t no words in the vocabulary to say it. You’ve just arrived, that’s all. 63-0322 - The Fifth Seal
How do you get there from here?
You are going to make it because:

1. You are Chosen from the Beginning.

2 Thessalonians 2:13 KJV 1900
But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
2 Thessalonians 2:14 KJV 1900
Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

How do you know that you are chosen?

How did the disciples know?

John 17:12 KJV 1900
While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

a. They were called by Jesus Himself.

b. They responded to that call.

c. They went to the upper room.

239 Look at where Judas came. Judas’ spirit climbed into the Gospel, up to the place of Pentecost.
But when it come to the time for his baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ, and these other things that goes with the baptism of the Holy Ghost, he walked out. He showed his colors. 63-1124E - Three Kinds Of Believers
109 Look at Judas Iscariot, walked right with the Church, and professed Christ.
He done everything the rest of them did, went out and even cast out devils, and come back rejoicing, with them.
But when it come to the place at Pentecost, to receive Eternal Life, he showed his colors.
110 And that’s where it comes today. The devil lets you have all the church joining you want to.
But when it comes to the time that you receive the Holy Ghost, he’ll just holler, “It’s a bunch of holy-rollers,” or something.
He don’t want nothing to do with That. And Judas and his system can follow right up to that hour.
Cause, that’s where Judas deceived that world, up to that spot, but he couldn’t do it there. That’s the Elected right there.
Now, he can come that close, but he can’t come the rest the way. Because, if he would, he would be your brother then, so he can’t do that.
63-1115 - The World Is Falling Apart
Peter was not Judas, he went on to the upper room.

2. You are Sealed by the Holy Ghost.

Ephesians 4:30 KJV 1900
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
250 You’re sealed in there, you’re beneath the Blood. You don’t go out no more.
And then what are you? God’s son in God’s family, sealed in by the Holy Spirit.
The devil couldn’t get you if he had to; for you are dead, your old husband part is dead; and you are buried, and your life is hid in God through Christ, and sealed by the Holy Ghost.
See? How is he going to get you? How you going to get out? You’re there! Glory!  65-1128M - God's Only Provided Place Of Worship
Ephesians 1:3 KJV 1900
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
Ephesians 1:4 KJV 1900
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Ephesians 1:5 KJV 1900
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Ephesians 1:6 KJV 1900
To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
Ephesians 1:7 KJV 1900
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Ephesians 1:8 KJV 1900
Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
Ephesians 1:9 KJV 1900
Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
Ephesians 1:10 KJV 1900
That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
Ephesians 1:11 KJV 1900
In 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 1:12 KJV 1900
That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
Ephesians 1:13 KJV 1900
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Ephesians 1:14 KJV 1900
Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

By giving me the Holy Ghost He has placed within me His guarantee that I’m gonna make it.

He won’t lose His down payment. His Credit is perfect. He makes good investments.

Why would God invest in you unless He had a purpose for you?

Why would He build on something that has no foundation?

Luke 6:46 KJV 1900
And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
Luke 6:47 KJV 1900
Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
Luke 6:48 KJV 1900
He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
Luke 6:49 KJV 1900
But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.

What is the foundation?

2 Timothy 2:19 KJV 1900
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
251 Then a new creation, not to a denomination but to the Word. You’re a creation of the Word.
Because the foundation stone was laid in you before the foundation of the world, predestinated to be sons and daughters of God. 65-1128M - God's Only Provided Place Of Worship

You receiving the Token in it’s fulness guarantees your passage to that land.

Abraham was 75 when He left for Caanan. for nearly 25 years he journeyed, but at the age of 99, God gave him the seal of circumcision.

The seal was not for God’s sake, but for Abraham’s.

“It never started on any day. You wasn’t saved on any day. You was always saved. Amen.
Jesus just come to redeem that; but you was saved, from the beginning, because you had Eternal Life, to begin with.
233 A trout fish can never be a gar or a tadpole. He might be in the same water with him, but he was, from the beginning, a trout.
The net only caught him, see, but he was that from the beginning.
64-0802 - The Future Home Of The Heavenly Bridegroom And The Earthly Bride

3. You have Reached the Point of No Return.

Abraham receives the Seal of circumcision in Chapter 17, but in Chapter 18 he receives his last sign.
167 Now we find that his royal Seed is, travels the same journey, that’s, Bride of Christ travels the same journey that Abraham did.
And the last sign that Abraham seen, before the promised son came, was when God was manifested in a human body, and two Angels came down. 65-0427 - Does God Change His Mind?
Genesis 18:9 KJV 1900
And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
Genesis 18:10 KJV 1900
And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.
Genesis 18:11 KJV 1900
Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
Genesis 18:12 KJV 1900
Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
Genesis 18:13 KJV 1900
And the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?
Genesis 18:14 KJV 1900
Is any thing too hard for the Lord? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.
Genesis 18:15 KJV 1900
Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
Genesis 18:16 KJV 1900
And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
Genesis 18:17 KJV 1900
And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;

(Third Pull)

Genesis 18:18 KJV 1900
Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
Genesis 18:19 KJV 1900
For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

The 2nd Pull was the last sign.

286 In the days of Sodom, the First Pull was the righteous Lot. And the Bible said, “The sins of Sodom vexed his righteous soul daily,” how them women acted and done.
289 Then they sent another messengers, two of them, and they went down. That was His Second Pull for Lot…for Sodom.
290 But look at that One that went last, there’s more and more mercy. It was all over then, all over at that time.
(Sodom crossed the line between mercy and judgment. So did Abraham, going the other way.)
That third Messenger that went down there, the Third Pull, what was He? What kind of a ministry did He have?
He set with the elected, and told them what was taking place behind Him. That right?
But when He stepped off into Babylon, or into Sodom, He wanted to find…
291 Even Abraham, crying, “If I could find fifty righteous?” On down to “ten righteous?”
God said, “Yes, find ten righteous.”
292 Let me tell you something, sister, just a minute. You might be old-fashioned, but you got something these sex queens hasn’t got.
You’ve got something that she can never have. Right. You might be old-fashioned in your dressing, dress up like a lady.
They might say, “Look at that old holy-roller.” Don’t you worry. She’s got something that that little old sex queen, that’s got all the world looking at her out there, she hasn’t got it.
She can never have it. She is lost, Eternally. She is doomed. See? She’s never…You got moral; you got virtue. She’s got nothing.
She’s got a bait that traps the lost souls into hell. The blind walks into it. Now, you’ve got something.
293 You know, you might not be even on a church book, but it might be your righteous life that’s holding the wrath of God from the world today.
The world won’t believe it. You woman that’s called holy-roller, you little man that don’t hardly know anything, but you cry to God, day and night, for the sins of the country, you might be the one that’s holding off the wrath.
“If I can find ten, I’ll spare it. If I can find ten!” “As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be.” See what I mean?
294 Not, “If I can find ten Methodists, if I can find ten Baptists, if I can find ten Pentecostals, if I can find ten athletes, if I can find ten senators, if I can find ten ministers.”
295 But, “If I can find ten righteous!” There is One righteous, that’s Christ. Christ living in One, them ten, see, “I’ll spare it.”
63-1110M - Souls That Are In Prison Now

If turning away the Holy Ghost means you are sealed in darkness, what does crossing into the Holy ghost mean?

Bro. Branham preaches the Rapture from Psalm 27.

Psalm 27:5 KJV 1900
For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: In the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; He shall set me up upon a rock.

He ends with verse 5. Look at verse 6.

Psalm 27:6 KJV 1900
And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: Therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.

David says, I’m chosen, I’m sealed, I’ve crossed the line. I’m gonna make it.

Once the Third Pull has been revealed to you, you have reached the point of no return, you’re hidden in the mystery of His coming. You’re gonna make it.

Conclusion.

Bro. Bobby and Rev 21:4

Revelation 21:4 KJV 1900
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Though I have suffered
In many a way,
I cried for healing
Both night and day;
But faith wasn’t forgotten
By the Father above,
He gave me His sign
On the wings of a dove.
