(COMMUNE WITH HIM)
Heb 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Heb 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Heb 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

1 Thank you, Brother Orman, the Lord bless you. Good morning, friends. It's nice to be here in the Tabernacle again this morning. And was just standing back there listening as I come in, and hearing the prophecy go forth in the way of speaking with tongues, with the interpretation. And I said to the folks that that room is full also, so I said, "I don't know; I haven't spoke to this man." That was Brother Higginbotham, if I've got the man right, for a long time; it's been months since I've even shook his hand. But that's exactly what I'm speaking on, what he said this morning, exactly what I'm speaking on. He didn't know it. I didn't know it myself till just awhile ago, what I was going to speak on. And that's just it, what he said right then. So we are happy to know that we are assembled in the Name of the Lord Jesus, and under His protecting wings.
*COMMUNION IS NOT TAKING BREAD, "COMMUNE" MEANS "TALK TO,
COMMUNE BACK, TALK WITH SOMEONE."
ONENESS_ JEFF.IN V-10 N-2 SUNDAY_ 62-0211
2 Now, I see many are standing up, place filled
and jammed, and we just hate to see this. And as soon as we can, we're going to
make it different here, a bigger tabernacle. Now, I want to report from Phoenix
just quickly.
I was here last Sunday night and spoke on the subject of
Communion to the... before the communion service. Communion
is not taking bread, "commune" means "talk to, commune back,
talk with someone."
And now, this morning, if I get a little too lengthy, why, someone change seats with those who are standing up, and it'll be appreciated, let them set down for a little bit. I--I am concerned of this time that we're living in. I am very, very much concerned. When I see the things happening that I see taking place, there's something within me that's stirred. And I am wanting to just take my time and try to...
ONENESS_ JEFF.IN V-10 N-2 SUNDAY_ 62-0211
5 This morning's message I'm speaking on the
subject of "Oneness." And I--I want to take my time and try to make
it just as... lay it out just as perfectly as I know how. And I desire your
prayers as you have gathered.
And now, I want you to turn, if you have a Bible and like to
read with me, to the 1st chapter of Hebrews, first. And I want to read the first three verses of the 1st chapter of
Hebrews, and then Genesis
1:26 and 7 to tie that together. And no man can say anything
that's worth saying unless God helps him say it. And--and that's along the message this
morning too, of the oneness of the people and God.
Now, in Hebrews the
1st chapter we read this.
God, who at sundry times... in divers manners spake in times
past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Hath in this last days spoken unto us through his... by his
Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Who being in the brightness of his glory, and the express
image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he
had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on
high;
And now, over in Genesis
the--the 1st chapter and the 27th, 26th and 27th verse, I read this.
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our
likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the
fowls of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every
creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

8 Now, let's bow our heads just a moment as
we pray. And I'm sure that there's many requests in the audience of this size,
so perhaps we just raise up our hand to God, who has a request, and let him by
this make it known that we have something that we want prayer for. God grant to
each one of you.
Lord, we have assembled under the roof of this Tabernacle,
and we are thankful to have the roof over us today, but our coming together was
for a greater purpose than this. We feel that by the promise of God we have
assembled under the wings of the Almighty. That He, as a hen would cover her
chickens, would protect us from all that we are desiring Him to protect us
from. That He would hover over us, and nourish us, and would give us today our
daily bread, both physically and spiritually, that we might have the sustaining
strength of body to walk about upon the earth, and the sustaining power of the
Holy Spirit to bring the Word of God to a hungry people. And to leave here with
It upon our lips and in our hearts, with such fresh anointing Oil that we'd be
able to tell others of the day that we are living, and the condition of time.
God, we are fully trusting in You. There is no other place left that no one
could go to. We feel as Peter did that day when Jesus said, "Will you go
also?"
He said, "Lord, where would we go? Thou alone has the Words of Eternal Life." And that's why we gather in Your Name this morning, because Thou alone has the Words of Eternal Life. And we pray that You'll make this so real to each of us today that our hearts will burn within us, our souls will be strengthened, our bodies healed, our spirits healed, our souls made anew, created after the fashion that God would have us.
ONENESS_ JEFF.IN V-10 N-2 SUNDAY_ 62-0211
11 Father, I pray that You'll give strength to those who are standing in the rooms and around the walls, and in the vestibule and around. I pray that You give them strength. And knowing this going on tape that'll go to many different nations out into the lands and the tribes of the earth, God, we are trusting wholly in Thee. Just give us the strength and the--the Word and the anointing, that it might be just the way You would have it for this hour. We commit ourselves to Thee now, our listening, our voice, our attention, all that we are we commit to Thee, that Thou would move in us. Work through us and manifest Your great Presence with us. For we ask it in Jesus' Name, Thy Son. Amen.
ONENESS_ JEFF.IN V-10 N-2 SUNDAY_ 62-0211
12 The word "oneness" means "to be one with: oneness, united," And now, this is quite a subject, and it--it deserves a lot more attention than I'm able to give it, and more than most any person on earth could be able to give. But I would like to express to you my opinion of it, and with what God will give us. Now, in this it's teaching doctrine. And to the brethren who may hear this tape, I trust that it will not be an offense, but it will be to cause you to take this very considerably, under consideration, rather, that you would study it prayerfully, carefully, and weigh it out in the balance of God's Word to see whether it be of God or not.
*NOW, THE SPIRIT OF GOD IN THE WORD MAKES THE WORD LIVE ITSELF, ACT ITSELF
OUT.
For I believe that that's the way we should do always: weigh things with the Word, because the Word is the only Thing that will be able to remain. Jesus said, "Both heaven and earth will pass away, but My Word shall not pass away." That's why I believe It, and to believe It to be God's program. I believe that that is the finished work of God wrote out in Word. Therefore, that if anything would be contrary to that Word, it could not be God or God's plan. I believe It is the program. Now, the Spirit of God in the Word makes the Word live Itself, act Itself out. It brings the Word to life like a seed.
*NOW, THAT IS PERFECT ONENESS: GOD AND
HIS CREATION…..THEY WERE SO PERFECT IN HARMONY WITH GOD TILL THEY WERE ONE WITH
GOD.
ONENESS_ JEFF.IN V-10 N-2 SUNDAY_ 62-0211
14 Now, the first man and first
woman in the garden of Eden was in perfect harmony with God, so much that God
could come down at any time He desired and talk lip-to-ear with Adam and Eve. Now, that is perfect oneness: God and His
creation, God speaking lip-to-ear with Adam and Eve. And they were so
perfect in harmony with God till they were one with God. God and His family was one.
Any man and his family, a correct, good, noble, obedient family is one with another: any family. And if there's something in the family that moves them apart, then it's not right; the family's broken somewhere. They should all be one: father with mother, mother with father, children with parent, parent with children, all in agreement. And when you see that, you'll see one lovely picture.
*AND THE ONLY WAY THAT THEY COULD BE ONE
WITH THE FAMILY, OR WITH GOD, WAS BECAUSE GOD'S NATURE WAS IN THEM.
ONENESS_ JEFF.IN V-10 N-2 SUNDAY_ 62-0211
16 That's God's purpose. And His purpose as Father supreme, was to be one with His family, earthly family, Adam and Eve. And the only way that they could be one with the family, or with God, was because God's nature was in them. So that made them with God's nature in them, then with each other and God, they become all one. Isn't that a beautiful picture, God in His family, Father over all, supreme, no death, no sorrow, no heartaches, no nothing, just joy unspeakable: never to be sick, never to have a heartache, just one with God. What a picture. Because the very nature of God was in these people. And therefore, what they did, they followed just in line with God, and God with them made them one.
*JESUS PRAYED THAT THE CHURCH AND HE WOULD BE ONE LIKE HE AND THE FATHER
WERE ONE.
ONENESS_ JEFF.IN V-10 N-2 SUNDAY_ 62-0211
17 Now, Jesus prayed in John the 17th chapter and the 11th verse, to you who put down these Sunday school texts. I have many of them this morning. John 17:11, Jesus prayed that the church and He would be one like He and the Father were one. That the church, we as members of the Body of Christ, would be one together just like He and the Father are one. And at that day we would know that He was in the Father--or Father in Him, and He in us, that together we were one. What a union, a oneness that would be to see God in His church, till every member is just perfectly in harmony with each other and God. That's the church that Jesus is coming for. That's when His prayer will be answered, that we will be one.
*AND IT IS THE ONLY GROUNDS OF FELLOWSHIP THAT GOD HAS EVER LAID DOWN FOR
HIMSELF AND HIS CHURCH…
ONENESS_ JEFF.IN V-10 N-2 SUNDAY_ 62-0211
18 And it is the only grounds of fellowship that God has ever laid down for Himself and His church, is the oneness of Himself in the people. That's the only grounds of fellowship. And the only way that you can have those grounds is by a union to be united with Him forever. Just like when you unite with your husband, the woman to unite with her husband, it is a vow until death. Now, then when you unite with God, it's the same thing that the church united with Christ, it's until death we part. And then if you never sin or do anything wrong, you'll be eternally united with God. And only death can take you away from God, and not physical death, but the sin of death. Sin is death, and that takes you away from God. So to be united with Him in the Spirit of His power is Eternal Life; you're eternally united with God. Oh, I want to get to that after a bit. United eternally with the eternal God, perfectly in harmony with Him, perfectly united together, a church that all, both God and His church is one, united together.
THE SPIRIT WAS PART OF ADAM, FOR HE WAS BOTH MAN AND WOMAN,
FEM--SPIRITUALLY SPEAKING BOTH MASCULINE AND FEMINISH.
ONENESS_ JEFF.IN V-10 N-2 SUNDAY_ 62-0211
19 And if you'll notice how that Eve was united with Adam; she become part of him. God, did you notice in Genesis 1:27, He created man male and female, created He them. Now, the man was a--a--both male and female when it come to being in the spirit of feminish and masculine. Then God took from his side a--a rib. Did you notice, the body part was a byproduct, but not the spirit? The body part of the woman was a byproduct; after the creation had been finished, God took from the side of Adam a rib and made a woman. But not the spirit, the spirit was part of Adam, for he was both man and woman, fem--spiritually speaking both masculine and feminish.
WE ARE IN HIS LIKENESS,
IN HIS UNITY, IN THE PERFECT IMAGE OF THE LIVING GOD, BECAUSE WE BECOME SONS
AND DAUGHTERS
ONENESS_ JEFF.IN V-10 N-2 SUNDAY_ 62-0211
20 Now, don't you see the great picture? We in flesh are different. We're like a byproduct, a created being by holy wedlock. But in Spirit we are sons and daughters, not some other spirit, but the Spirit of the living God. We are in His likeness, in His unity, in the perfect image of the living God, because we become sons and daughters; not separated, but the same Spirit, the same God, the same Person, joined in wedlock to the eternal. See how God planned it that we should be, not a different, but Him, not some other being of some other tribe, but a real union and offspring of the Almighty done by a holy union. Now, the body comes from mother and father, but the Spirit come from God, God separating Himself as Adam was separated.
JOINED IN HEAVENLY
WEDLOCK TO THE ETERNAL GOD, PART OF HIM, PART OF GOD...
ONENESS_ JEFF.IN V-10 N-2 SUNDAY_ 62-0211
21 On the day of Pentecost we find
the Holy Spirit, the Pillar of Fire, separating Itself and setting upon each
member of that church: God putting Hisself together. Then with that group of people
together, what does it do? Brings back
the unified Body of the Lord Jesus. Coming together...
And today in this great
separation that we're living in, denominational differences and things, what a
pity, what a disgrace.
23 Joined in heavenly wedlock to the eternal God, part of Him, part of God... In flesh I become Branham because of my father, Branham. You become part of your father and mother, but in spirit we become... When union with God is part of God... That's the reason that the spirit cannot die. "He that believeth on Me has Everlasting Life. And in the image that he is here on earth, and in his likeness, I'll raise him up in the last days." Not a spirit being, for we'll have a body like God's glorious Body, the glorified Body of the Lord Jesus, raised up in that Image.
*BELIEVING IN HIM, YOU CANNOT BELIEVE IN
HIM UNTIL YOU COME IN HIM, OR, HE COMES IN YOU…
ONENESS_ JEFF.IN V-10 N-2 SUNDAY_ 62-0211
24 Jesus said, going to the grave of Lazarus, "I
am the Resurrection and Life. He that believeth in Me, though he be dead, yet
shall he live. And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die." "Believeth
in Me, not on Me, but in Me." Being in Him, believing. "If ye abide in Me and My Words in you." In Him, believing... Oh, my. I hope the Holy
Spirit gets that right down to you.
Now, you're the little flock; that's why through the week, praying and asking God, I chose this text to show you where we stand. Believing in Him, you cannot believe in Him until you come in Him, or, He comes in you, then you're believing in Him, then you have Eternal Life. You're believing on Him until you receive Eternal Life, then Eternal Life is God's Life in you, then you're believing in Him.
GOD IN CHRIST, CHRIST
IN THE CHURCH
"Ye in
Me, I in you, that they might be one, Father, even as You and I are one." God in Christ, Christ
in the church... See? "Just
as We are One, so they be One." Then
how can you be one? "If ye abide in Me, My Word's in you..." See,
abide... "My Word's in you, then ask what you will." For it isn't you no more, it's the Word that's in you, and the Word is
God.
Eph 5:1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
Eph 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
Eph 5:3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
Eph 5:4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
Eph 5:5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
Eph 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
Eph 5:7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
Eph 5:8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
Eph 5:9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
Eph 5:10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
Eph 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
Eph 5:12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
Eph 5:13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
Eph 5:14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
Eph 5:15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
Eph 5:16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Eph 5:17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
Eph 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
Eph 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
Eph 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Eph 5:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
Eph 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
Eph 5:24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
Eph 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Eph 5:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
Eph 5:29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
Eph 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
Eph 5:31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
Eph 5:32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
Eph 5:33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
