A Word to the church.

From...  Christ is the Mystery of God Revealed.

William Branham.

Love one another above everything. Love one another. Don't... No matter what the devil tries to say... Now, you're all one great, big, sweet group now, but remember my warning. See? Satan won't let that stay that way.

No, sir. He'll shoot everything, if he has to bring somebody in to make his target. He'll bring some critic or unbeliever in, set him down, and cause him to fellowship with you under the quietness and things. Then he will shoot that guy with some kind of poison stuff, and he'll start through the church with it. Don't you take sides with it. Don't you have nothing to do with anything else. You stay right loving and sweet and kind to one another. Pray for that man that he'll be saved too, or that woman, ever who it is. Just pray for them and stick one with another and stay with your pastor. See? He's the shepherd and you give him respects. He'll lead you through, and--cause, he's ordained of God to do so.

Now, do you remember that? The enemy will come. And when he does, just cling that much closer together. And the one that the Devil is using for an enemy will either get out or come in and be one of you. That's all. Don't never clan among one an--or talk, make yourself clannish; we are one.

I couldn't say, "Left hand, I'm mad at you; I'm going to take you away 'cause you're not a right hand." He's my left hand. I want him to stay there. Even the little tip of my finger, I want it to stay right there, every little part of my body stay right there. And God wants us as a Body of believers to stay right exactly with one another, right it with one another.

And now, you've got tapes on that. You've got tapes on what we believe. You got tapes on discipline in the church: how we behave ourself in the church of God, how we got to come here together and set together in heavenly places. Don't stay home. If God is in your heart, you can't hardly wait for them doors to open out yonder to get in here to fellowship with your brothers. If you don't--don't feel that way, then I tell you, it's time you got to praying, 'cause we're in the last days where the Bible exalted us--exhorted us to--to much more as we see that day approaching, to love one another with Christian love and Divine love, to assemble ourselves together in heavenly places in--in Christ Jesus and love one another. "This will all men know you're My disciples when you have love one for the other."

That's right. Stay right together. If the brother, you think he's a little wrong, or the sister, say, "Lord, don't let me ever have the root of bitterness spring up, 'cause it'll--it'll affect him, and it'll take the Christ right out of my life." That poison acids of malice, and jealousy, and hatred, that'll just take the Holy Spirit right away from you. It'll run Him from the Tabernacle here. It'll kill the Spirit of God or drive it away from here, hurt your pastor; it'll do everything. See? Don't you do that. You just wax that much closer together. Draw up the... Take the buckle, as the brother testified (a minister here the other night) about having a buckle (seeing it in a vision). Just... That buckles on the whole armor of God; just put it on, tighten up, move right up close to one another. Love one another anyhow. Talk nice about one another. Say nice things about one another, and then God will bless you.

God's Law of Reproduction.

From...  Pergamean Church Age.

William Branham.

“Here is what I am trying to say to you. The law of reproduction is that each species brings forth after its own kind, according to Genesis 1:11. Consequently, the children of God will be like their father. In these last days the true church (the bride) will come to the headstone, and she will become a super church, a super race, as she nears him. They in the bride will be so much like him that they will even be in his very image. This is in order to be united with him. They will be one. They will be the very manifestation of the word of the living God. Denominations can’t produce this. Denominations will produce their creeds and their dogmas, mixed with the word. That will make a hybrid product.

The first son, Adam, was the spoken word of God (a seed). He was given a bride in order to reproduce another son of God. But Eve fell by hybridization and therefore she caused Adam to die.

The second Son, Jesus, who was also the spoken word of God (seed), was also given a bride like Adam was. But before Jesus could marry his bride, she also fell. She, like Adam’s wife, was put to the test whether she would believe the word of God and live, or doubt the word and die. When she doubted and left the word, she died.

From a little group of the true seed of the word, God will present Christ with a beloved bride. She will be a virgin of his word because she knows no man-made creeds or dogmas. Through the members of this bride God will fulfill all that he promised would be made manifest in the virgin.

The word of promise came to the virgin, Mary. In Isaiah 9:6 God promised that he would manifest himself someday. Now he acted to fulfill His own word of promise in the virgin. Notice how it was an angel who brought her the message, but that angel’s message was still the word of God. When she accepted the angel’s message to her, God fulfilled all that he promised would happen at that time. Mary’s natural womb types the spiritual womb of the virgin bride today. Just like Mary did, this end-time virgin will say, ‘Be it unto me according to thy word.’ Christ is the head of this bride and they are subject to him in everything. Not only will they love him, they will have his potential.

Notice the harmony of the father and the son. Jesus never did anything until first the father showed him what to do (John 5:19.) This harmony will exist between Jesus and his bride. He shows her his word of life and she receives it. She never doubts it. Nothing can harm her, not even death, for even if that seed is planted in the ground, the water of the spirit will raise it up again. Here is the secret of this. The word is in the bride like it was in Mary. The bride has the mind of Christ and therefore she knows what he wants done with his word. She does it in the name of the Lord, which means she has ‘Thus saith the Lord.’ Then the word germinates by the water of the spirit, and it grows until it fulfils its purpose.

Those in the bride do only his will. No one can make them do otherwise. They have ‘Thus saith the Lord’ or they keep still. They know that it has to be God in them doing the works, fulfilling his own word. He did not complete all his work while in his earthly ministry, so now he works in and through his bride. She knows that. Christ will now fulfill through his bride that work which he left for this specific time.

So let us stand like Joshua and Caleb. Our promise land is coming in sight even as theirs did. The name Joshua means ‘Jehovah saviour.’ The man Joshua, represents the end-time leader who will come to the church even as Paul came as the original leader to the early gentile church. Caleb represents those people who will follow Joshua...”

Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

Isaiah 60:1-2
