Heb 6:10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
Heb 6:11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
Heb 6:12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Heb 6:13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
Heb 6:14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
Heb 6:15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
Heb 6:16 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
Heb 6:17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
Heb 6:18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
Heb 6:19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
*BUT GOD GIVE HIM A SIGN, CIRCUMCISED HIM AS A SIGN, A SEAL…. THE HOLY SPIRIT CIRCUMCISES
THE HEART, CUTS AWAY THE THINGS OF THE WORLD
HE.SWORE.BY.HIMSELF_ JEFF.IN V-26 N-11 SUNDAY_ 54-1212
122 Abraham believed God, that's right, and it was imputed to him for
righteousness. But God give him a sign, circumcised him as a sign, a seal. And
Abraham's seed still receives circumcision. They did
all through the age, until the--the moon faded out, the law, and the Son came
in. And when the Son of God come, He circumcised them yet.
And every son of Abraham is circumcised today, not of the flesh, but of the heart. The Holy Spirit circumcises the heart, cuts away the things of the world, and makes you a new creature in Christ Jesus. "Circumcision" is "cut off surplus flesh." Only the males could be circumcised. Only the males was the only ones was in the covenant. And a woman, being married, was brought in. You take... Today, it's... Now, I ain't saying...
*AND HE TOOK UNTO HIM ALL THESE, AND
DIVIDED THEM IN THE MIDST, AND LAID EACH PIECE ONE AGAINST ANOTHER:… BUT THE BIRDS HE DIVIDED NOT.
HE.SWORE.BY.HIMSELF_ JEFF.IN V-26 N-11 SUNDAY_ 54-1212
131
Now, notice, God speaking to Abraham. Now, notice.
And
he said, LORD GOD, wherein shall I know, that I will inherit it?
And he said unto him, Take me a heifer of three
years old, and a--a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old,
and two turtledoves, and a young pigeon.
Here it
goes. Watch it now.
And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the
midst, and laid each piece one against another: (Oh, my. What a--what a meaning this has.)... but the birds he divided not.
Now, he cut the heifer, and the goats, and things apart,
and laid the pieces, one against another one, showing that they'd dovetail from
one dispensation to another. But
the turtledoves, and thing, he didn't divide them. And when the fowls of the
air came down on--on the carcasses, Abraham drove them away.
And
when the sun was gone down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, a horror of
great darkness fell upon him.
And
he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be... strangers in a
land that is not theirs, and they shall serve them; and they shall afflict them
four hundred years:
God
foretelling unto Abraham, that way down in his great-great-great-grandchildren
would sojourn in a strange land four hundred years and would be afflicted:
designated a time, exactly how long it would be.
137- ….. But, oh, my, then when my mind
flops over here to God's promised oath to me, then all that just fades away
then. I just... Everything just seems different. Now, watch. In a good old
age...
But
in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the
Amorites is not yet full.
God, making His promise, God give it to Abraham unconditionally... Now, watch when He said this. Oh, here's a beautiful picture, if we could just have the time to finish it, 'fore we get down to finish this, the picture that God had made up... Look.
*SAME HOLY SPIRIT, SAME THING, JUST
DIFFERENT DISPENSATION.

V-26 N-11 SUNDAY_ 54-1212
140 He said, "Go get me a heifer of three years old." Watch,
three. Everything in the Bible is a three. Three blends to a one. See? Father,
Son, Holy Spirit, not three Gods: One. Faith, hope, and charity, not three
different things, but all the essence of one: love.
Now,
then there was justification, sanctification, the baptism of the Holy Ghost,
not three different dispensations, not three works of grace, but one work in
three different manifestations. Same Holy Spirit was
with Luther, under justification was under Wesley with sanctification; in the
Church now, in the baptism of the Holy Ghost: the same Holy Spirit, not two
Holy Spirits, the same Holy Spirit.
HE.SWORE.BY.HIMSELF_ JEFF.IN V-26 N-11 SUNDAY_ 54-1212
142 …..And so is the Church growing on to that perfect day when Jesus shall
come. See? Same Holy Spirit, same thing, just different
dispensation.
*SAME GOD THAT WAS UNDER THAT
DISPENSATION, IS UNDER THIS DISPENSATION, UNDER THAT DISPENSATION, AND WILL BE
THE SAME…
HE.SWORE.BY.HIMSELF_ JEFF.IN V-26 N-11 SUNDAY_ 54-1212
144 Now, in moving of this, look. Take the heifers, the goats, and everything
must be three years old, the three different dispensations: fatherhood,
sonship, Holy Spirit. See? Three years, everything was three years, meant,
Father, Son, Holy Spirit: same God that was under that
dispensation, is under this dispensation, under that dispensation, and will be
the same: Only one God, three dispensations, not three Gods: three
dispensations of the same God.
The same God was in the Pillar of Fire was in Christ Jesus. The same One in Christ Jesus, in you. That's right. God in you the hope of glory. Is that right? The baptism of the Holy Spirit dwelling in the person now, you become what? Sons of God.
***DEITY ITSELF LIVES IN EVERY BELIEVER.
HE.SWORE.BY.HIMSELF_ JEFF.IN V-26 N-11 SUNDAY_ 54-1212
146 When God condescend and overshadowed virgin Mary, He was a Life. And a
Life overshadowed and created a blood Cell around Itself.
Anybody knows now that the blood cell comes from
what? The male. Is that right? The life lays in the blood cell, and the
blood cell is coming from the male, not the female. There's where the life is,
is in the male sperm.
Notice. Then
God Himself come into the womb of virgin Mary and wrapped Hisself in a created
blood Cell. Hallelujah. That's the
reason we have Eternal Life. Then when that blood Cell, because of sin, was pierced with a
sword yonder, and broke, it freed God yonder. And He broke open the blood
Cell, and washed us, and brought us into Himself by the Holy Spirit. There you
are. And now we are sons of God, part of God. Deity
Itself lives in every believer. Every man that's borned of the Spirit of
God is a part of God.
No wonder he believes in the supernatural. No wonder he can believe in anything. Why is it? In him is a portion of God, wrapped up in that mortal body there, where there's sin and everything else, has created this body. But down in there, some work of God alone in regeneration has come down through there by the shedding of His own Blood, and taken away that blood that was in there, as a way, and set it aside, and entered into this sinful man, and put in him a hope that he'd die for It just as freely as he'd stand there. Speak to him. Sure, he believes It.
*HE'S A PART OF GOD. HE'S AN OFFSPRING OF
GOD. HE'S A SON OF GOD, OR A DAUGHTER OF GOD.
HE.SWORE.BY.HIMSELF_ JEFF.IN V-26 N-11 SUNDAY_ 54-1212
151 Jesus said, "These signs shall follow them that believe: in My Name
they shall cast out devils; and speak with new tongues; they'd take up
serpents, or drink deadly things, or lay hands on the sick, they shall
recover." Jesus said that.
Why? He's become a part of Him. Yes, sir. God's on the instance of deliver anything. He'll make a way. When there's no way, He makes a way. And any man that believes in Him, believes the same thing. He has to. He's a part of God. He's an offspring of God. He's a son of God, or a daughter of God. And he can't do nothing else, because God's right with him. He's just a portion of God.
*EVERYTHING THAT GOD WAS IN THE PILLAR OF FIRE, HE EMPTIED INTO THE SON,
JESUS CHRIST.
Look. Everything that God was in the Pillar of Fire, He emptied into the Son, Jesus Christ. In Him dwelt the Fullness of the Godhead bodily. Is that right? The Bible said that God, G-o-d Himself, Jehovah, the Mighty One, the Buckler, the Shield, all His redemptive Names, everything that He was, He emptied into Jesus Christ.
*AND THE OUTSIDE SHIELD OF THE CELL
ITSELF… BUT THAT WAS THE BODY, THE LORD JESUS. INSIDE OF THAT WAS GOD HIMSELF
HE.SWORE.BY.HIMSELF_ JEFF.IN V-26 N-11 SUNDAY_ 54-1212
154 And Jesus Christ formed from a blood cell. And
the outside shield of the cell itself, which is billions times billions smaller
than a human eye could see, but that was the body, the Lord Jesus. Inside of
that was God Himself, wrapped Himself around the blood Cell in order to take
His own Blood and to spill His own Blood, or--or give It freely, that
we, through the breaking of that blood Cell to our mortal, when It breaks, and
our life leaves from here to go out through the redemption of--of the Blood
that God required, we can be brought into that Body and become a part of God
Himself as a son of God.
Brother, if you can digest that, it'll sure do you good. I wish I had some way to just--just show you what it is. Just think of God, Jehovah, coming down into the womb of a woman, overshadowed. Come down in the, down to Spirit, and He's in there. What is He? He's the Creator Himself. He made the very woman in the womb that He was in right then. God made Himself little, come down and got into this blood Cell. And He begin to build something around Him. What was it?
*BUT WE HAVE A PORTION OF HIS SPIRIT IN
US, AND THEN IT ACTS LIKE HIM.
NEW.MINISTRY.WILLIAM.BRANHAM_ LA.CA MONDAY_ 59-0406
E-38
Now, that's the way
that High Priest acted in the days gone by when He was here on earth. If He is that same High Priest tonight, the
only thing you have to do is touch Him, and He will act the same way He did
then, if you'll touch Him with that kind of a touch. Do you believe then?
Certainly He will.
Now, here's what did it. Now, we have the Spirit by measure. And Christ had It without measure.
We... Just like taking a spoonful of the water out of the ocean, He had the
whole ocean. But the same chemicals that's in the--the spoonful is in the whole
ocean, but not as much of it.
So that's the way a Christian is. We're nothing to compare with Him. But we have a portion of His Spirit in us, and then It acts like Him. That's what makes us love people, and try to help people, and do good, is because that Spirit of Christ in us.
IF
THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST IS IN THE CHURCH, IT SHOULD BE DOING THE WORKS OF CHRIST
E-15 Now that's... I know that sounds
strange. But it's truth, just the same. Now, if He is
the same yesterday, today, and forever, He's got to be the same in principle,
the same in power, all but the corporal body. That corporal body sets at
the right hand of God. But the Holy Spirit is back here to manifest Jesus in
every way that He lived. You're on a... You said, "The works that I do
shall you also. A little while and the world will see Me no more. Yet, ye shall see Me for I (a personal pronoun) will be with
you to the end of the world." Christ in us.
Then if--if the Spirit of Christ is in the Church, It should be doing the works of Christ; because God set that body aside, the Lord Jesus, His Son. And it was a sanctified virgin born body, that through His Blood, He might redeem us, who were borned after sexual desire and in corruption; that we might be cleansed, not by ourselves or through our own good works, but through His grace we are cleansed from our sins. Because He is that Offering laying there constantly atoning for our sins--we who have confessed faith in Him.
WE.WOULD.SEE.JESUS_ SAN.JOSE.CA WEDNESDAY_ 59-0422
E-16
Therefore, we are cleansed by His Blood, so that His
Spirit lives in the Church manifesting Itself, moving among the members. "The works that
I do shall ye also." I know the
translation there is "greater" than this in the King James, but I
believe the right translation would be "more" than this shall you do,
for there could hardly be greater. He raised the dead, and stopped nature, and
He did everything. "More" it'd be a universal, all around the world
in the Church at the same time; where God was manifested in one Person, Jesus,
now, It's manifested in the Church universal, around.
Now, then that great Spirit... If I said the Spirit of God was in me, I would be doing the works of God. Jesus said, "If I do not the works of My Father, then believe Me not."
*CHRIST PROMISED TO BE IN US, AS THE
FATHER WAS IN CHRIST.
E-45 Then,
another thing. After she has taken all these vows and so forth, and the
ceremony's been said... Like my wife's name was Broy before she was married.
Now, she's no longer a Broy; she's Branham. Now, she isn't no more Broy; she's
Branham. And when you come into Christ, you're no more of the
world; you are of Christ. You care not then for the things of the world.
They're dead to you. "For he that loves the world, or the things of the
world, the love of God's not even in him."
So (You see?), you can't be a
artificial Christian. You can be a artificial professed Christian, but you can't be a
Christian to become...?... until Christ injects Himself by the baptism of the
Holy Ghost into you. Then you're connected with Him, and
you're no longer twain; you are one. Christ promised to be in us, as the Father
was in Christ. "I and My Father are One. You and I are One,"
(See?) Christ in us.
THE.MARRIAGE.OF.THE.LAMB_ PHOENIX.AZ SUNDAY_ 62-0121E
E-46 All that God was He poured into
Christ; and all that Christ was, He poured into the church to continue the work
of the Gospel. Then we become, not by artificial name, but by a reality of the
Holy Spirit of Life, connecting us into Christ. Then, through the power of His
resurrection, we are raised from the dead things of the world and setting with
Him in heavenly places. Amen. I like that.
Tonight, we're setting in heavenly
places in Christ Jesus (See?), resurrected with Him, died to the things of the
world, and took on Christ. And when we take on Christ, then the world is dead.
Then we no more care for the world. The world is dead to us, and we're... And
it's dead to us, and we're dead to it.
You're a different person, different
personality, because you are a new creation: creation, not the same creation
polished up, not a--a man that's turned a new leaf, but a man that's died and
been borned again, and become a new creation in Christ Jesus. And the Spirit of the
living God lives in the person.
Now, just like the woman that's no more Broy, she's a Branham, and she goes by that name. And the church is no more of the world, but it's in the Name of Christ she is. She's connected with Him by His own Life.
THIS
IS GOD'S GREAT MYSTERY OF LOVE EXPRESSED, THAT GOD AND MAN BECAME ONE.
470 So He can do whatever He wants to. He can create. He can do anything.
He's God. The very same God, that creative Life, you see, that's in you, can...
You're a prisoner; you can't speak it till He says speak it. But, when you
spoke, it's God's Word. He's vindicated it to be so. Everything else is right,
and He knows, when that's spoke, it's got to be so. See?
471 Moses took
his rod, and said, "Let there come frogs," 'cause God said, "Let
there come frogs." He just transmitted it on out. That's right. And frogs
was in everything, everywhere was frogs. Where did they come from? Nobody
knows. They wasn't there before. But the Creator, God, working through a man,
created things, a living species.
472 The very God
that made the first frog can make the second frog. He makes all frogs. Oh, my!
You see what I mean? Made the first squirrel, makes the second squirrel, make
any squirrel; can make squirrels where there is no squirrels. He can do
anything He wants to! He is God! He is God! His Life! Oh, my! When I think of
it, makes me shiver! Uh-huh.
CHRIST.IS.THE.MYSTERY.OF.GOD.REVEALED_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-7 SUNDAY_ 63-0728
473 Oh, to live with Him, going Home
with Him, to live with Him! Going Home with Him to live with Him forever,
having Eternal Life!
474 This is God's great
mystery of love expressed, that God and man became one.
See? The
whole thing is God and man, one. God and man was one, there; and
God and man is one, here. See? What is it? Being filled with His Spirit, Him
having the preeminences. That was God's achievement, that's God purpose to do
that: that He might be in Christ; and Christ in us; and all of us together,
one. The Holy Spirit, same thing; It revealed it to Christ,
reveals it here; the supernatural creative Power. Oh, my!
