So the reality now workers in the temple is here I am the answer to the question I have the answer to the question of the origin of authority the origin of authorities because I received the reality the message of the messenger. I really am not stuck at the door of the office. I'm not just holding him as my prophet, he is my prophet okay why did he, what did he prophesy and then if he's your prophet do you know that this is the time you are also supposed to profess that he was your prophet and you are supposed to be somebody's prophet so what are you doing about it now. Don't get stuck. I believe in my prophet GOD sent a prophet that's very wonderful but you have forgotten that you are supposed to be prophesying you are also a prophet sent by GOD to another person to nations and tongues and languages and multitudes glory to GOD beyond, more than a prophet he was more although he didn't make many prophecies John the Baptist was not really with thousands of prophecies that came to pass he prophesied this it happened he prophesied it happened this is what we are. Sometimes, I was telling one brother, I don't have time to talk about prophecies. There are thousands, you listen to the recorderd tapes, read the books. Don't tell me about prophecies. They are there. We are now talking about the revealed one. The reality that prophetic office pointed us to.
He says look at your clock. It's now end of second pull, beginning of third pull. What is the third pool? The sword of the king. That means the king is here. He is holding the sword. Somebody go and receive this food hallelujah and for you. You are pointing to who he was, more than a prophet. And friends, this is our time. Let me finish, by this he says 30 years after the birth of Jesus there was that prince among the prophets and brother Branham is calling John the Baptist the prince among the prophets. So he was a prince-prophet. Oh my. John the Baptist, I mean, all men knowed he was a prophet from GOD. The forerunner of the coming Christ. Now they didn't all know that.
There is which is predicted again in the last days. So we are going to have a prince of all prophets. Another one, why he identifies the groom, for the bride and there must be an invisible union.
So Jesus said, what would you go to see. A reed shaken by the wind ? I mean, what are we looking for?
We have looked for ministries and ministries have failed us. We have looked for great preachers and great preachers have failed us. We have looked for brothers to trust and brothers have let us down. We have looked for good sisters and they can let you down.
But there is one that will never let you down. And he came down himself. That's why he came down. He knew you would need Him. And that's why he took our battle. He fought so that we are not having our fixation on a man called William Branham. But the man who came, the One who descended, the One was identified, the One was responsible for the continuation of this voice ministry of the Bride. The voice of Christ Himself in the Body, in the Bride body. So what are you looking for. We are not looking for these reed that are shaken by every wind today's, this tomorrow is that you will see that in them if you are looking for great man. John was not that. Amen. And that's why John the Baptist prophesied for only six months. That's what the prophet says. Six months, that was enough. His message was very short what else should we do and he's the greatest of all of them the prince prophet rather even if you had it just two days is enough i you need to experience that before we go home. Blessed but be the name of the Lord. he says he was not just to keep his clothes so and so and matching and this and tell him how he must dress and them of the kind that kisses the babies and staying in king's palaces and talks to public schools and so forth. He was not a warrior, he was not out from the line, I mean, he didn't even know how to handle a to edge this word. So he says they are the kind that does that. But what did you go out to see? A prophet? And now I say, more than a prophet . And then he says, now listen to this great priest coming with a piece of sheep's skin wrapped around him, living off the huts of the woods. Hallelujah! No theological seminary experience behind him. But an experience that he had talked to God. He had it from heaven. And he was born for the purpose. To do it. The Word spoke that he would come yes sir walked out on the banks of Jordan with his feet in the mud don't you think you pharisees to say we have abraham to our father if i tell you God deserves these stones to raise up children to Abraham you know that's what then he says that prince of the prophets the one that had the privilege of introducing the messiah and he saw the sign of the messiah and recognized it as that light fell from heaven isn't that what the prophet saw when he was baptizing the 17th person, you know that, and he says went upon him and he was witness to it. So we see the repeat of that today. So he comes and, says, nobody knows much about him. He was just a man. He was but he was a prophet he was hated, my. And what time did he rise, right in the time of the popularity of Israel when they had all went wildly. And he got it out of there and it was a 'woman hater' inverted, you know, he is inverted, he was a woman hater. Yes sir, she was and he loved the wilderness that was his nature. And then people ought to know, to have known when the Pharaoh came out with that same spirit on him and came out this John not dressed all up like the celebrity as I said last night they kissed the babies and so forth. But this calm man came out of the house for wilderness. A man what was he like? He loved the wilderness. Another thing he did, he hated denomination. Now, he was no compromiser. He's describing John the type that was greater than all prophets, loved the wilderness, was a woman hater, he could not compromise on the world, he wasn't educated. So what are we going to do with this man in this educated age, with scientific examining research for minds that can suck things at the tip of the finger prove this wrong prove that right tick this cross these cans of this let me finish there are so many things but let me leave them he says now as a preacher I don't think that Jesus was a great outstanding forceful preacher. John the Baptist was a preacher but he done no signs at all. He never performed a miracle. This is the prophet speaking but Jesus came by not preaching so forceful as John but there were signs and wonders accompanying him now you look at it jesus is not as forceful but signs and wonders John is so forceful brief time no signs no in the wonders no miracles and no many prophecies but we believe him but heaven declared him as the greatest and the devil in this day is trying to you know blank out the ministry of william runner and trying to point out this and that and that and who are doing those whose whose eyes were once enlightened tested of the good heavenly word preached it carried the evidence and showed others this land is good they have turned against it what is this for to prove to us that unless you go beyond the office of a prophet and take that reality that is beyond that office you are going to fail just one more thing here he says so i want to say this i've never said it before but according to scripture according to what he said 30 years 30 years ago 33 years ago on the river down there in 1933 rather what he said everything has happened just exactly the prophet didn't say it was going to happen he said it has already happened this is the message look away to jesus in other words look away from me look away from the prophet look away to Jesus it's he says it has already happened why did he do this the angel tell him in 1933 as John was sent to forerun the first coming of Jesus so shall your message forerun His second coming. Introduce Jesus to the bride. So he says it has already happened.
So Jesus was already there, while John is also Elijah is also still around.
So those who still remained with John the Baptist but those who saw and had the mystery, followed Jesus. Others will follow later but the message is such that you can actually comfortably remain at the office of the prophet or you can catch by revelation and go beyond more than the prophetic office. So that you stop hearing this hullabaloo that is going on around the prophetic office. Close your ears to this. You are beyond that. You have already left the office. The office has already done its work they appointed you to the man .
So he says it has already happened . Exact, just exactly. I may not do it but this message will introduce Jesus Christ to the world and he says as John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming.
Now listen to this statement is confusing like it appears. Because he says, what he told me has already happened. In other words I have already introduced HIM. But then he says, I may not do it. Same quote. Same place. I may not do it but this message like in Acts 19* can introduce the others letter to him but those who have picked the cue by revelation now they have already seen him just like john the baptist was sent to foerun the first coming. So is this the message to forerun the second coming. And John said, "behold the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world. In other words, it was not the message after John . It was John speaking, introducing the reality when he was still alive. And those who caught it by revelation followed by those who deemed waited until he was dead then they followed okay. So he says it is paralleled in, it's paralleled in it. Everywhere i know it will. The message will go on now in other words how does it parallel i must decrease that's what john is saying," I must decrease, He must increase."
So John the messenger, the office ends. And then the message goes on. What was the message. The Word incarnate, Jesus Christ the Messiah. Because who caught it followed HIM. The message, those who didn't catch it, remain here and calling themselves believers of the prophet's message. But what is the message? Well, we believe the message. But what is the message, now I believe the message, brother.
What is the message system. What is the message, brother, you will stay here or you will fall there. The message will go on. Glory be to GOD. So let me end there. Think I will not finish everything here. But he comes here. Final. And he says, but as soon as Jesus appeared, he had a sign, a pillar of fire, a light above him. Like a dove 🕊️ coming down. A voice saying "this is my beloved son whom I Am well pleased." Notice. And John the Baptist immediately said, I must decrease and He must increase. John presented the believers to Christ . Amen .
And we are told that in the last days that will repeat again. There is going to be a message come forth that will introduce the Messiah to the people and it will be in such a way they will stand. Listen, they will stand dumbfounded like they did it then. But he promised it, dumb founded, where is HE. I've believed. I taught this message is the truth. I believed it is the reality but you are stuck at the office. Go beyond the office more than the prophet. There is something laying beyond there .
And we need Christ standing in this day where there is a lot of forces that are trying to fail people. But there is one promised guarantee that the elected will not be deceived. And when you back in His voice, when you hear His voice saying, "Come up here, leave the church age through the ages, come out of Laodicea. This is where you belong, come to the reality. Take your position in the blood of Christ. Don't get stuck in Laodicea. And we pray, loving heavenly Father, what a time that we are living in, the Lord , we have come as far as believing the message but you are telling us there is a mystery that goes beyond a prophetic office like John the Baptist was, he was more than a prophet and you could not look at so many prophecies that he made not signs, not wonders but he connected all promises, all prophecy to the reality. And He became the greatest, help us Lord to recognize what you want us to be, where you want us to be, what you want us to become, that Lord, we shall be those temples that the dynamics are walking in, the temples that Christ the Zoe is tabernacled and Lord that will be the end result the product of what was introduced by this prophetic office. For you are coming to pick a part of yourself, to take home.
You are not just coming to pick a message believer. May you help us, Lord, to know that time is late and that it is time for the manifestation of the sons of God, the daughters of God and that's the requirement of the hour, may the Holy Spirit, may the person of Christ yourself come and dwell in us, in our hearts by faith. That it will be Christ in us, the hope of glory. And that we shall not console ourselves by false consolation of saying I believe the message, I have received the Word , when we are stuck at just the office. May we go beyond that. May we become what was pointed to us. Lord help us for this is a crucial time. It's a crucial stage that we must go through in order to qualify for the body change. For God , that is what You called us. For I pray LORD GOD at YOUR hand will be stretched out upon YOUR children that You'll bless each and every child of Yours and give them regrets for LORD it's not us. It's You in us, both to will and to perform of Your will and to make it become a reality.
The Lord we shall rejoice in the Lord is doing which is marvelously done. But it's done according to YOUR will and purpose. Have mercy upon us and transform us and bring us to that stage. Pray that all You'lI bless, the pastor here, your servant and all the preachers here, all the deacons here, all the trustees, all they believe us. LORD that this will be put right. Maybe LORD, I have not brought it in the right way. YOU are ever LORD GOD it up Yourself and make Your children to catch the revelation of what YOU wanted.
I committed them into YOUR hands, as Your servant, have YOUR way with us, LORD, for the hour is late. What shall we say, Lord. We don't want to be caught off guard. We want to be found ready. We want to be found what You want us to be and that we rejoice when You take us home as the finished product of Your master plan, granted the Father we ask it in Jesus's name, amen. Amen. May GOD bless you, Amen.
THE MEASAGE IS get out from the denominationalism and GET BACK TO THE WORD. CONTENT FOR THE FAITH ONCE DELIVERED UNTO THE SAINTS.
*Acts 19
Paul in Ephesus
19:¹ While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus. There he found some disciples ² and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?”
They answered, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
³ So Paul asked, “Then what baptism did you receive?”
“John’s baptism,” they replied.
⁴ Paul said, “John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus.” ⁵ On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. ⁶ When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied. ⁷ There were about twelve men in all.
⁸ Paul entered the synagogue and spoke boldly there for three months, arguing persuasively about the kingdom of God. ⁹ But some of them became obstinate; they refused to believe and publicly maligned the Way. So Paul left them. He took the disciples with him and had discussions daily in the lecture hall of Tyrannus. ¹⁰ This went on for two years, so that all the Jews and Greeks who lived in the province of Asia heard the word of the Lord.
¹¹ God did extraordinary miracles through Paul, ¹² so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them.
¹³ Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed. They would say, “In the name of the Jesus whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out.” ¹⁴ Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this. ¹⁵ One day the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know about, but who are you?” ¹⁶ Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding.
¹⁷ When this became known to the Jews and Greeks living in Ephesus, they were all seized with fear, and the name of the Lord Jesus was held in high honor. ¹⁸ Many of those who believed now came and openly confessed what they had done. ¹⁹ A number who had practiced sorcery brought their scrolls together and burned them publicly. When they calculated the value of the scrolls, the total came to fifty thousand drachmas. ²⁰ In this way the word of the Lord spread widely and grew in power.
²¹ After all this had happened, Paul decided to go to Jerusalem, passing through Macedonia and Achaia. “After I have been there,” he said, “I must visit Rome also.” ²² He sent two of his helpers, Timothy and Erastus, to Macedonia, while he stayed in the province of Asia a little longer.
The Riot in Ephesus
²³ About that time there arose a great disturbance about the Way. ²⁴ A silversmith named Demetrius, who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought in a lot of business for the craftsmen there. ²⁵ He called them together, along with the workers in related trades, and said: “You know, my friends, that we receive a good income from this business. ²⁶ And you see and hear how this fellow Paul has convinced and led astray large numbers of people here in Ephesus and in practically the whole province of Asia. He says that gods made by human hands are no gods at all. ²⁷ There is danger not only that our trade will lose its good name, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be discredited; and the goddess herself, who is worshiped throughout the province of Asia and the world, will be robbed of her divine majesty.”
²⁸ When they heard this, they were furious and began shouting: “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!” ²⁹ Soon the whole city was in an uproar. The people seized Gaius and Aristarchus, Paul’s traveling companions from Macedonia, and all of them rushed into the theater together. ³⁰ Paul wanted to appear before the crowd, but the disciples would not let him. ³¹ Even some of the officials of the province, friends of Paul, sent him a message begging him not to venture into the theater.
³² The assembly was in confusion: Some were shouting one thing, some another. Most of the people did not even know why they were there. ³³ The Jews in the crowd pushed Alexander to the front, and they shouted instructions to him. He motioned for silence in order to make a defense before the people. ³⁴ But when they realized he was a Jew, they all shouted in unison for about two hours: “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
³⁵ The city clerk quieted the crowd and said: “Fellow Ephesians, doesn’t all the world know that the city of Ephesus is the guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of her image, which fell from heaven? ³⁶ Therefore, since these facts are undeniable, you ought to calm down and not do anything rash. ³⁷ You have brought these men here, though they have neither robbed temples nor blasphemed our goddess. ³⁸ If, then, Demetrius and his fellow craftsmen have a grievance against anybody, the courts are open and there are proconsuls. They can press charges. ³⁹ If there is anything further you want to bring up, it must be settled in a legal assembly. ⁴⁰ As it is, we are in danger of being charged with rioting because of what happened today. In that case we would not be able to account for this commotion, since there is no reason for it.” ⁴¹ After he had said this, he dismissed the assembly.
