It’s Tuesday evening and the close of the meetings. Not only did we see wonderful things during these services 50 years ago, but we are receiving reports from around the world about how countless people have been deeply impacted while listening during our 50-year Jubilee. Why wouldn’t we see great things? The same Holy Spirit is with us today that was here when Brother Branham brought us the Message! Continue to expect great things, because God is delivering!
17 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.
20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.
21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
He is alive! It’s not a God that was, It’s a God that is. Not a “I was” or “I will be,” but “I AM.”
And when the Holy Spirit comes upon us and makes us new creatures, then He can lead us. But we try to live the same old life, it won’t work! It just won’t work.
No matter how much we think it’s right, it’s got to be according to the Word of the Lord or it’s in vain.
You’re a gene, a spiritual gene out of your Heavenly Father, a part of God’s Word. That be so, as I’ve said, then you was with Jesus when He was here because He was the Word: you suffered with Him, died with Him, buried with Him, and rose with Him, and now setting in Heavenly places in Him!
No matter how good you are, what you quit doing, what you start doing, you’ve got to accept the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ. And then when you do that, He is the Word, and then your life fits right in the Word and It manifests Itself to this age that you’re living in.
Now the shuck has to pull away, give the Wheat a chance to lay before the Son, to ripen; the Message coming right back into the Church again, forming the Body of Jesus Christ just like the first original One that went into the ground.
It’s getting harvest time. This is not Luther’s age, this is not Pentecost age, this is the Bride age.
We’ve turned a corner! We’re looking towards Heaven, watching for the coming; the Cap on the Pyramid, as we would say, His coming back! The Church must be resurrected soon, and we must get ready.
“I’ll raise up a Prophet likened unto me. And it’ll come to pass that all that don’t hear Him will be cut off”
You’ve got to come to one thing to believe: you’re either going to believe God, you’re going to believe your church, you’re going to believe the world, you’re..You cannot mix it together. And you can’t hold to them old things that the other church before you did. You’ve got to take the Message of the hour.
Your physical contacts the physical. Your spiritual contacts the spiritual. But inside of that you’ve got a soul, and that soul is that gene that come from God.
How thankful you should be, church! How you should straighten yourself up from these things! How you should be on fire for God! That your eyes beholds what you see, your ears hears the things you see. Leadership!
Because It’s pure, holiness, unadulterated Word of God! There is a thinking man’s Filter. And church member, I advise you to use That one.
The leadership is the Holy Spirit, friend. It leads you and guides you into all Truth, when He the Holy Ghost is come. Now think of that.
And O church, wake up! Can’t you see the same thing tonight? The hour that’s been promised is on us. Esteem the reproach of Jesus Christ greater riches than all the fellowship of anything; if it takes father and mother, church, anything else. Follow the leadership of the Spirit!
It might cost you everything you got. It might cost you your home, It might cost you your friendship, It might cost you your stitch-and-sew party, It might cost you your place at the Kiwanis. It might. I don’t know what It’ll cost you, but It’ll cost everything that’s worldly or pertains to the world. You’ll have to separate yourself from everything that’s worldly. You’ll have to do it.
And if the Word of God is in you from foreordination of God, in you, “My sheep hear My Voice. They know My hour. A stranger they won’t follow.” See? It’s got to be that first.
What do you look like? What are you following? What have we done? You must choose your leader. Choose today. You choose Life or death. Your choice will determine your Eternal destination, what you choose. Remember, Jesus said, “Follow Me.” And you’re invited tonight to do so. And to follow Him to Eternal Life you must come on His terms, that’s right, the Word. Not upon the creed, not upon the public opinion, not upon what anybody else thinks about It, but on what God said about It.
