What A Resurrection This Is

 What A Resurrection This Is

JOHN 11:25-26

²⁵ Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: ²⁶ And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

97) …What a resurrection that that was! And what a resurrection this is, to be quickened from the dead, "to be made alive in Christ Jesus," by God's quickening Power.

ROMANS 6:3-11

³ Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? ⁴Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. ⁵For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: ⁶Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. ⁷For he that is dead is freed from sin. ⁸Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: ⁹Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. ¹⁰For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. ¹¹Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

23) Now, my text this morning, I want to take for a text: It Is The Rising Of The Sun. And for a subject, I want to use, "the quickening Power."

24) Now, you know, you perhaps have been hearing the radio and the different ministers speak. And our noble Brother Neville this morning speaking his Easter subject, on the resurrection. And I thought maybe I would take it a little different path, not to be different, but just to add a little more, maybe in another angle, for you.

65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN

61) Notice, the very Message of the Gospel, Itself, is to prove to the people that He is risen. "Go tell My disciples that I am risen from the dead, and I'll meet with them, to confirm this to them." O God, how in this last day there shall be Light again across the earth! "And I'll prove to My disciples! Go tell them that I am not dead, and I'm not a tradition, but I am a living Christ. I'll meet them. Take this Message to My disciples, that I am risen from the dead," the Gospel, good news.

65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN

62) Hebrews 13:8 said, "He's the same yesterday, today, and forever." We, His beneficiaries, are to prove His Life is in us now, the beneficiaries of this Life. The Life, there never was a life lived like it; He was the Son of God. And He died, and that shut it out; but when He raised again from the dead, on Easter morning, then we, as His servants, are commissioned by Him to go into all the world and to bring this good news to every person, that He is a living. And how can we do it by Word only? For it is written, "The Gospel came not by Word only, but through the power and the manifestation of the Holy Spirit, to prove that He is alive."

65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN

64) "And because I live, ye live also. And I live in you, and the works that I do," John 14:12, "the works that I do will identify Myself in you." What a Message! No wonder, we've had a dark world of theology, but in the evening time there shall come Light again. There will be a resurrection in the evening time. It shall be Light at the evening time.

JOHN 11:23-26

²³Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. ²⁴Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. ²⁵Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: ²⁶And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN

65) Now, the very essence of the Message that was sent, that, "He is risen from the dead," we His beneficiaries, we who share the resurrection with Him, draw benefits from this, by proving to the world that He is alive. We cannot do it by word only. We cannot do it by some tradition of man. We only reflect exactly what we're pointing to. I'm afraid today that too many of us are not getting people to Christ. We're getting them to a church, to a theory. But we must get them to Christ. He is the only One, and the only One that has Life. "He that has the Son has Life."

67 And if the life of a man that's dead be projected in you, you will live the same life he lived.

65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN

74) The darkened world of unbelief, where churches and denominations, and so forth, had drawed us out. And there's something in us calling, "Oh, we want God! We're hungering and thirsting for God." We joined the Methodist, Baptist, Pentecostals, Presbyterians, and whatmore, and still there was something wrong, we just couldn't find It yet. And all of a sudden, while we was groping in darkness, the great resurrection came to us in the manifestation of the promised Word of God.

MALACHI 4:5-6

⁵Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: ⁶And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

LUKE 17:28-30

²⁸Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; ²⁹But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. ³⁰Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

The Wave Sheaf

65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN

81) And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When you... come into the land which I give unto you,...

82) "Unto the place, the position, that I have given unto you. Now you speak to the children of Israel, that when you get to this certain place that I've promised you I'd take you, when you get there in this land." Now speaking natural here, typing the spiritual.

... and shall reap the harvest thereof (you have received what I told you thereof), then you shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.

83) If there would be any holy ritual, it should come forth on the sabbath day, which was the seventh day of the week, which is Saturday. But did you notice, in this memorial, to wave it on the first day of the week?

84) "The sheaf, which was the first of your seed that you planted, when it comes up and ripened, you cut down this sheaf and take it to the priest. And let him take it and wave it before the Lord, for your acception, that you are accepted.

65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN

89) That's why they had to wave that sheaf, for it was the first one that come to maturity. And it was waved as a memorial of thanksgiving to God, believing that the rest of them would come. It was a sign.

65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN

90) And, today, because He was the first Son of God to come to full maturity, to be in God, He was plucked up from the earth and is waved over the people. Oh, what a glorious lesson! By the quickening Power, the first One! Although, He had--He had been typed; and many times, as we'll see later, that He was typed. But this was really the Firstfruit of them that slept. He was waved over the promised Seed that had promise of Life.91) He was waved at the Day of Pentecost, "when there came a sound from Heaven like a waving, mighty rushing wind," and was waved over the people, the pentecostal people that was up at Pentecost, waiting for the Blessing to come. And to be waved again, we realize, in the last day, according to Luke 17:30, in the Son day again, "in the day that the S-o-n of man will be revealed," or waved again over the people.93) Now, Who is the Son of man? "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us." And if all the teaching that we have, and confirmation of the Word of God; by Word of God, by signs, by wonders, we see today, that in the Book of Luke here, that as we just quoted from, or the Luke the 17th chapter and the 30th verse; and Malachi 4, and the different Scriptures that we are acquainted with, that that Word again is waved over the people, that the dead traditions of man is dead, and the Son of God is alive again with the baptism of the Holy Spirit right among us, and is giving us Life.

64-0719M - THE FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS

243) The Holy Spirit has been bound by these denominational rivers, for almost two thousand years, but is to be loosed in the evening time, by the evening-time Message. The Holy Spirit back in the Church again; Christ, Himself, revealed in human flesh, in the evening time.

65-0418M IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN

94) As Christ was the first One to raise, from all the prophets, and so forth; although typed in many places, He was the Firstfruits of those that slept. In the Bride, coming of Christ, coming out of the church, there'll have to be a Sheaf waved again in the last days. Oh, my!

95) Waving of the sheaf! What was the sheaf? The first one that come to mature, the first one that proved it was a wheat, that proved it was a sheaf. Hallelujah! I'm sure you see what I'm talking about. It was waved over the people. And the first time there will come forth, for the Bride age, for a resurrection out of dark denominationalism, will be a Message, that the full maturity of the Word has turned back again in Its full Power, and being waved over the people, by the same signs and wonders that He did back there.

97) "Because I live, ye live also," speaking to His Wife. "Because I live, ye live also." What a resurrection that that was! And what a resurrection this is, to be quickened from the dead, "to be made alive in Christ Jesus," by God's quickening Power.

JOHN 14:18-20

¹⁸ I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. ¹⁹Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. ²⁰At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

63-0728 - CHRIST IS THE MYSTERY OF GOD REVEALED

596) Notice, the vindicated Word in His Body is His very victory and the reason of His death. See, the death, not in the Spirit; when He died, He only died in the flesh. His Spirit went to hell and preached to the souls in prison. That right? His flesh, only, died, then He raised it up again and quickened it. Quicken means "made alive," His flesh, which was His body. And that's the Word. It's been laying dead for years, but It gradually begin to come in the reformation, and now She is standing upon Her feet!

597) Oh, how I wish I had time to go back into Ezekiel, and pull out them "dry bones," and show you. He said, "Can these bones live again?"He said, "Prophesy!"

598) How can prophecy come? Only through the prophet. It's the Word of the Lord. "Hear ye, dry bones, the Word of the Lord!" And sinews, skin come upon them, and they stood up a mighty army, and begin to march towards Zion. Glory to God! That's Him. That's Him, the victory.

65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN

137) So does God. He is that Great Eagle. In His thoughts He knowed He'd have a Church. He knowed He'd have a people. No matter what's cuddled them, no matter what they was hatched out under, He is hunting. He is hunting for His Own. And one day, the story goes, this old eagle flew over the barnyard. She was looking everywhere, and she found him. Oh, for that resurrection, to recognize that he really wasn't a chicken, after all. He was an eagle!

65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN

141) And God knows! Hallelujah! He's got a predestinated, foreordained Church! He knowed He's got sons and daughters, and a Bride, waiting somewhere; when the Holy Spirit begins to fly over it, that wave Sheaf. Oh, my! He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. Not some mythical story, but a reality!

142) No matter how many tried to tell him, "a eagle," he didn't know what a eagle was. Yet, he was a eagle. He would not understood it until he seen something that reflected him, that he reflected, rather.

143) And when we see, not a denomination, not a Ph.D., not a LL.D., not a good neighbor; but a son of God molded in the image of God, with the dynamic Power of God to answer the request of this day, that He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, there ain't no hen going to hold you. He hunts for his Mama. He's an eagle, to begin with. He recognizes. This real eagle recognizes the call of God's Word. Why? He's an eagle. A eagle to a eagle! The Word before the foundation, the Word to the Word! The Word, predestinated, to the Word written for the hour. You realize your position. 

ROMANS 8:10-13

¹⁰And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. ¹¹But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. ¹²Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. ¹³For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN

123) So the Bride must also be flesh of His flesh, and bone of His bone. Then how is this mortal flesh going to become His flesh? We'll get to it in a minute, see. How is it done? How? What is this great transformation? Notice.

65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN

144) This then, this earthly body, is quickened and brought by the quickening Spirit of God to obedience to the Word of God.

65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN

148) What does It do? Now listen, so that you'll know. And this Easter, I want it to mean more to you than any Easter ever did. See? I want you to see it. We know what It done for Him; but I want you to see it, not will, It has done the same for you. See? What does It do? It quickens the mortal body. This mortal body that we live in, It quickens it, in other words, brings it to Life.

149) Now, you who once walked along with a great big cigar in your mouth, and everything, or a bunch of cigarettes; and you women who once had short hair, painted, and carried on, and wore shorts, and things like that; all at once, Something screamed, and you looked down here and It was the Word. See, It quickened your... You said, "No more shorts for me, no more liquor for me, no more lying, no more stealing, no more this, that." See? The Spirit that raised Him from the dead, dwelling in you, will also bring your mortal bodies, the dust of the earth, into subjection. You see? What is it? Subjection to what? Christ. Who is Christ? The Word. Not the theology, but the Word!

65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN

154) But, brother, when you hear that scream, there's Something in you! You're a eagle, to begin with. Why? You are that Seed, that the resurrection of the S-o-n has dawned, and the wave Sheaf upon the earth, to make you recognize that you are a eagle and not a denominational chicken. You see it? Hah!

155) "If the Spirit that raised Him from the dead," the Word, the Dynamic of the Word, "dwells in you, It also quickens your mortal body." Now how we flesh of His flesh and bone of His bone? Because, quickly, while we're yet mortal sinners, mortal, ready to die, these bodies, It quickens that body. What's quicken? "Brings to Life." The spirit that once liked to drink, run around, commit adultery, and all these, it's quickened; why, the thing died, and you are resurrected. It quickens your mortal body.

156) Therefore, your bodies is the temple of the Dynamics, because (why?) from the beginning you are part of the Mechanics. Oh! There is your resurrection. There is the Church in the resurrection, with Him. These bodies right now are quickened. See, you've heard; you believe. It changed you from a denomination to the Word.65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN223) And the Son has got to be revealed again, in the Bride in the last day; the quickening Power has got to come, quicken them out of these dead denominations and creeds, to a living Word of the living God.65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN318) And so is it today, we don't try to be some big person. We don't care what the people say about us. Our name ain't nothing; it's His Name. Our life, it's nothing; it's His Life. It's His Power, not our power. And 5there is only one thing that we love to do, is see Him glorified. And how can it be? When He's glorified in us, by His resurrection that's in us. We see Him represented again as He was, today.319) Did you get that? See, our desire is not to be glorified. Our desire is not some big name. Our desire is not boost some church, or make more in the Sunday school, or try to bring in, hog-tie, push in, offer a picnic party, or bring stars, buttons, or something else like that. That's not our desire. Our desire is to see Him glorified. Glorified, (what?) not with self-pride; but in us, our lives, to prove He is alive and living in us.320 If I can get myself out of the way, so when William Branham not even thought of, and you not even thought of, till we can see Jesus glorified among us. See Him, that's our desire. That's the quick-... gives us the quickening Power. And it gives us joy, to know that we are with Him, both flesh and bone of Him, being the Bride of Him; and seeing His same vindicated methods, proving in us that He is now risen from the dead.65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN323) I just want to see Him manifested. How can you do it, call Him down? No. He is in you. See, He is in you. "Well, then, Lord, if I can get myself out of the way, You can manifest.65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN325) You believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen." --Ed.] We shall rise! In Him we become part of Him, the Easter, the revealed secret of God like it was then, of Life after death. We are now alive, who were once dead in sin and trespasses. The true Easter Seal has broke death from around me, and I'm alive. The Easter Seal, at the beginning, broke the seal of the Roman seal, the Easter Seal, that He was sealed up. And man, when they died, was gone; but He broke the seal and revealed the secret. And now God, by His Holy Spirit, has broke the seal from around our lives, and Christ is revealed as He lives in us, for now we are quickened with Him.EPHESIANS 2:1-51And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 4But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN341) …And the mechanics, by going in; the Dynamics come from Above, the Holy Spirit, and catch them away, Lord. Quicken their mortal body, then we shall hear genuine new tongues, powers of God, love untold, dying grace and living grace; and a resurrected Christ, a Body, a Bride representing Him on earth.GALATIANS 2:2020I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN346) And now, see, now you are already resurrected. When God raised Him up, He raised you. The Son is just now on you, and now you're growing into a blossom Life like He was, to be resurrected completely in that last day. Your potentials, you have now. Why do you know? Your soul changed, didn't it? Your body come in obedience to It, didn't it? In obedience to (what, a church?) the Word, which is the Life, then you are now resurrected from the dead. It is Easter, with Jesus and I. It's Easter, with you and Jesus. And it's Easter, with you, I, and Jesus. We are all... Or, Jesus, you, and I, we are all resurrected together.612Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: 14And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. 15Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. 16For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: 17And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. 18Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. 19If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. I CORINTHIANS 15:20-2620But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 21For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. 24Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 25For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 26The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

What A Resurrection This Is

Sunday, April 5th, 2026

JOHN 11:25-2625 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

Oh, what a glorious lesson! By the quickening Power, the first One! Although, He had--He had been typed; and many times, as we'll see later, that He was typed. But this was really the Firstfruit of them that slept. He was waved over the promised Seed that had promise of Life.91) He was waved at the Day of Pentecost, "when there came a sound from Heaven like a waving, mighty rushing wind," and was waved over the people, the pentecostal people that was up at Pentecost, waiting for the Blessing to come. And to be waved again, we realize, in the last day, according to Luke 17:30, in the Son day again, "in the day that the S-o-n of man will be revealed," or waved again over the people.93) Now, Who is the Son of man? "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us." And if all the teaching that we have, and confirmation of the Word of God; by Word of God, by signs, by wonders, we see today, that in the Book of Luke here, that as we just quoted from, or the Luke the 17th chapter and the 30th verse; and Malachi 4, and the different Scriptures that we are acquainted with, that that Word again is waved over the people, that the dead traditions of man is dead, and the Son of God is alive again with the baptism of the Holy Spirit right among us, and is giving us Life.64-0719M - THE FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS243) The Holy Spirit has been bound by these denominational rivers, for almost two thousand years, but is to be loosed in the evening time, by the evening-time Message. The Holy Spirit back in the Church again; Christ, Himself, revealed in human flesh, in the evening time.65-0418M IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN94) As Christ was the first One to raise, from all the prophets, and so forth; although typed in many places, He was the Firstfruits of those that slept. In the Bride, coming of Christ, coming out of the church, there'll have to be a Sheaf waved again in the last days. Oh, my!95) Waving of the sheaf! What was the sheaf? The first one that come to mature, the first one that proved it was a wheat, that proved it was a sheaf. Hallelujah! I'm sure you see what I'm talking about. It was waved over the people. And the first time there will come forth, for the Bride age, for a resurrection out of dark denominationalism, will be a Message, that the full maturity of the Word has turned back again in Its full Power, and being waved over the people, by the same signs and wonders that He did back there.97) "Because I live, ye live also," speaking to His Wife. "Because I live, ye live also." What a resurrection that that was! And what a resurrection this is, to be quickened from the dead, "to be made alive in Christ Jesus," by God's quickening Power.JOHN 14:18-2018I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 19Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 20At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.63-0728 - CHRIST IS THE MYSTERY OF GOD REVEALED596) Notice, the vindicated Word in His Body is His very victory and the reason of His death. See, the death, not in the Spirit; when He died, He only died in the flesh. His Spirit went to hell and preached to the souls in prison. That right? His flesh, only, died, then He raised it up again and quickened it. Quicken means "made alive," His flesh, which was His body. And that's the Word. It's been laying dead for years, but It gradually begin to come in the reformation, and now She is standing upon Her feet!597) Oh, how I wish I had time to go back into Ezekiel, and pull out them "dry bones," and show you. He said, "Can these bones live again?"He said, "Prophesy!"598) How can prophecy come? Only through the prophet. It's the Word of the Lord. "Hear ye, dry bones, the Word of the Lord!" And sinews, skin come upon them, and they stood up a mighty army, and begin to march towards Zion. Glory to God! That's Him. That's Him, the victory.65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN137) So does God. He is that Great Eagle. In His thoughts He knowed He'd have a Church. He knowed He'd have a people. No matter what's cuddled them, no matter what they was hatched out under, He is hunting. He is hunting for His Own. And one day, the story goes, this old eagle flew over the barnyard. She was looking everywhere, and she found him. Oh, for that resurrection, to recognize that he really wasn't a chicken, after all. He was an eagle!65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN141) And God knows! Hallelujah! He's got a predestinated, foreordained Church! He knowed He's got sons and daughters, and a Bride, waiting somewhere; when the Holy Spirit begins to fly over it, that wave Sheaf. Oh, my! He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. Not some mythical story, but a reality!142) No matter how many tried to tell him, "a eagle," he didn't know what a eagle was. Yet, he was a eagle. He would not understood it until he seen something that reflected him, that he reflected, rather.143) And when we see, not a denomination, not a Ph.D., not a LL.D., not a good neighbor; but a son of God molded in the image of God, with the dynamic Power of God to answer the request of this day, that He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, there ain't no hen going to hold you. He hunts for his Mama. He's an eagle, to begin with. He recognizes. This real eagle recognizes the call of God's Word. Why? He's an eagle. A eagle to a eagle! The Word before the foundation, the Word to the Word! The Word, predestinated, to the Word written for the hour. You realize your position. ROMANS 8:10-1310And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 12Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 13For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN123) So the Bride must also be flesh of His flesh, and bone of His bone. Then how is this mortal flesh going to become His flesh? We'll get to it in a minute, see. How is it done? How? What is this great transformation? Notice.65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN144) This then, this earthly body, is quickened and brought by the quickening Spirit of God to obedience to the Word of God.65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN148) What does It do? Now listen, so that you'll know. And this Easter, I want it to mean more to you than any Easter ever did. See? I want you to see it. We know what It done for Him; but I want you to see it, not will, It has done the same for you. See? What does It do? It quickens the mortal body. This mortal body that we live in, It quickens it, in other words, brings it to Life.149) Now, you who once walked along with a great big cigar in your mouth, and everything, or a bunch of cigarettes; and you women who once had short hair, painted, and carried on, and wore shorts, and things like that; all at once, Something screamed, and you looked down here and It was the Word. See, It quickened your... You said, "No more shorts for me, no more liquor for me, no more lying, no more stealing, no more this, that." See? The Spirit that raised Him from the dead, dwelling in you, will also bring your mortal bodies, the dust of the earth, into subjection. You see? What is it? Subjection to what? Christ. Who is Christ? The Word. Not the theology, but the Word!65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN154) But, brother, when you hear that scream, there's Something in you! You're a eagle, to begin with. Why? You are that Seed, that the resurrection of the S-o-n has dawned, and the wave Sheaf upon the earth, to make you recognize that you are a eagle and not a denominational chicken. You see it? Hah!155 "If the Spirit that raised Him from the dead," the Word, the Dynamic of the Word, "dwells in you, It also quickens your mortal body." Now how we flesh of His flesh and bone of His bone? Because, quickly, while we're yet mortal sinners, mortal, ready to die, these bodies, It quickens that body. What's quicken? "Brings to Life." The spirit that once liked to drink, run around, commit adultery, and all these, it's quickened; why, the thing died, and you are resurrected. It quickens your mortal body.156 Therefore, your bodies is the temple of the Dynamics, because (why?) from the beginning you are part of the Mechanics. Oh! There is your resurrection. There is the Church in the resurrection, with Him. These bodies right now are quickened. See, you've heard; you believe. It changed you from a denomination to the Word.65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN223) And the Son has got to be revealed again, in the Bride in the last day; the quickening Power has got to come, quicken them out of these dead denominations and creeds, to a living Word of the living God.65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN318) And so is it today, we don't try to be some big person. We don't care what the people say about us. Our name ain't nothing; it's His Name. Our life, it's nothing; it's His Life. It's His Power, not our power. And there is only one thing that we love to do, is see Him glorified. And how can it be? When He's glorified in us, by His resurrection that's in us. We see Him represented again as He was, today.319) Did you get that? See, our desire is not to be glorified. Our desire is not some big name. Our desire is not boost some church, or make more in the Sunday school, or try to bring in, hog-tie, push in, offer a picnic party, or bring stars, buttons, or something else like that. That's not our desire. Our desire is to see Him glorified. Glorified, (what?) not with self-pride; but in us, our lives, to prove He is alive and living in us.320 If I can get myself out of the way, so when William Branham not even thought of, and you not even thought of, till we can see Jesus glorified among us. See Him, that's our desire. That's the quick-... gives us the quickening Power. And it gives us joy, to know that we are with Him, both flesh and bone of Him, being the Bride of Him; and seeing His same vindicated methods, proving in us that He is now risen from the dead.65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN323) I just want to see Him manifested. How can you do it, call Him down? No. He is in you. See, He is in you. "Well, then, Lord, if I can get myself out of the way, You can manifest.65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN325) You believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen." --Ed.] We shall rise! In Him we become part of Him, the Easter, the revealed secret of God like it was then, of Life after death. We are now alive, who were once dead in sin and trespasses. The true Easter Seal has broke death from around me, and I'm alive. The Easter Seal, at the beginning, broke the seal of the Roman seal, the Easter Seal, that He was sealed up. And man, when they died, was gone; but He broke the seal and revealed the secret. And now God, by His Holy Spirit, has broke the seal from around our lives, and Christ is revealed as He lives in us, for now we are quickened with Him.EPHESIANS 2:1-51And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 4But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN341) …And the mechanics, by going in; the Dynamics come from Above, the Holy Spirit, and catch them away, Lord. Quicken their mortal body, then we shall hear genuine new tongues, powers of God, love untold, dying grace and living grace; and a resurrected Christ, a Body, a Bride representing Him on earth.GALATIANS 2:2020I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.65-0418M - IT IS THE RISING OF THE SUN346) And now, see, now you are already resurrected.

你在基督里是谁：一位圣灵——新造的现实

 死人不是你。

新你 = 在基督里。

我们将揭开一项最具革命性的教导。它被称为新造的现实，即你在基督里，此时此地，究竟是谁。在我们继续之前，我需要你明白一件事。你即将发现的，要么会让你彻底得释放，要么会让你深受冒犯。因为这个真理将告诉你，你真正的身份是什么。不是教会所说的你是谁，不是宗教所说的你是谁，也不是你的过去所说的你是谁，而是上帝所说的你是谁。大多数信徒根本不知道自己是谁。他们重生多年，却仍然认为自己只是一个蒙恩得救的罪人。他们仍然像属灵的乞丐一样，在上帝面前卑躬屈膝。*gravel（非正式英语，指使人生气或恼怒）他们仍然为自己的存在而道歉。今天，你在保罗书信中发现了一些改变一切的东西。 他发现，新造的人并非旧人的改良版，也不是罪人改过自新，更不是你过去自我的宗教版本。新造的人是一个全新的物种，前所未有。

哥林多后书 5:17 说：“若有人在基督里，他就是新造的人，旧事已过，都变成新的了。” 希腊原文中的“新造的人”是 katisus，意思是新的物种，新的创造，前所未有的事物。你不是一个翻新的旧造，而是一个全新的创造，存在于新造的现实之中。

他使新造成为可能，使一群新的人类能够坦然无惧地站在神的面前，不再感到内疚、定罪或自卑。请再读一遍：不再感到内疚，不再感到定罪，不再感到自卑。

大多数基督徒甚至无法想象这一点。 他们被教导要保持谦卑，就必须一直背负罪责。他们被告知，认罪意味着每天都要忏悔自己的罪。他们被灌输了一种观念：自己不配、不合格、不值得。但这并非保罗启示的教导。那是感官知识的产物。那是宗教的产物。这并非上帝对你的评价。让我向你展示你重生那一刻所发生的事。这将彻底颠覆你的神学认知。

哥林多后书 5:21 说：“神使那无罪的，替我们成为罪，好叫我们在他里面成为神的义。” 你明白了吗？你并非变得更加义，也并非部分称义。

你成为了神的义。不是你自己的义，不是你挣得的义，也不是你努力追求的义。而是在基督里的神的义。 “耶稣成了我们的义。当你我归入基督时，他就成了我们的义。然后，藉着新造，我们在他里面成了神的义。这不是诗歌，也不是比喻，而是法律上的现实。在天上的法庭上，你被宣告为义。不是因为你做了什么，而是因为他做了什么。现在，让我们来谈谈大多数信徒所不知道的。你不仅仅是罪得赦免，不仅仅是从地狱中得救，你还是与耶稣基督同为后嗣。

罗马书8:17说：“既是儿女，便是后嗣，是神的后嗣，和基督同为后嗣。” “同为后嗣”是什么意思呢？这意味着你继承了耶稣所继承的一切，不多不少，不是更小的份额。“同为”意味着平等的份额。凡属于耶稣基督的，也都属于你。他的权柄、他的能力、他的名、他在父神面前的地位、他通往宝座的道路、他战胜撒旦的胜利，以及他的…… 祂掌管疾病，祂战胜匮乏。“我们是神的后嗣，与基督同作后嗣。我们已经脱离了撒但的权势，进入了父神的圣洁家中。” 但问题在于，大多数信徒头脑中明白这一点，但他们的灵里却不明白。他们可以背诵经文，却无法活出真理。为什么？因为他们从未被教导过我们所说的“我们敢于承认的自我”。教会教导信徒要谦卑，却要否认自己的身份。他们被告知：“不要骄傲。不要自视过高。记住，你不过是一条虫。” 但这是来自地狱的谎言。你不再是虫。你现在是神的儿女。你是新造的人。你在基督里是神的义。除非你敢于承认神所说的你是谁，否则你将永远活在不配拥有的特权之下。

我不知道我们是否真正认识到自己的身份。我不知道我们是否曾想过，我们属于另一个种族。我们是一个全新的物种。那些属于地球的旧事物已经过去。看哪，一切都更新了。请听我说：你不再属于人类，你属于一个全新的种族。一个被造之人的种族，一个被救赎之人的种族，一个义人的种族。

当你重生时，你得到的不仅仅是一种宗教信仰，你得到的是一种全新的生命。神的性情本身就进入了你的灵里。《彼得后书》1:4说：“你们既有神的性情，就得与神的性情有份。” 这意味着你拥有与父神相同的性情。耶稣的生命如今也在你里面。

现在，让我告诉你一些会让大多数基督徒感到震惊的事情：你现在正与基督一同坐在天上。 以弗所书 2:6 说：“他又叫我们与基督耶稣一同复活，一同坐在天上。” 注意这里用的是现在时，不是“将来会坐”，也不是“将来某天会坐”。是“叫我们坐”。“坐”，现在时。这事已经成就了。你无需等到上天才能与基督同坐。你现在就与他同坐。那么，他坐在哪里呢？

以弗所书 1:20-21 告诉我们：“远超过一切执政的、掌权的、有能的、主治的，和一切有名的。” 这意味着你远胜过一切邪灵，远胜过一切疾病，远胜过一切问题，远胜过一切经济危机，远胜过仇敌的一切攻击。我们现在就远胜过一切统治和权柄。他使万物都服在我们的脚下。我们是基督身体在地上的部分。你明白了吗？ 你不在撒旦的脚下，撒旦却在你脚下。你不在环境的掌控之下，环境（罗马书 7:57）在你之下。但大多数信徒并非如此生活。他们活得像受害者，像奴隶，像乞丐。

（罗马书 8:04）为什么？因为他们不知道自己是谁。让我们来谈谈旧人和新人。

因为这正是大多数基督徒感到困惑的地方。罗马书 6:6 说：“因为知道我们的旧人已经与他同钉十字架，使罪身灭绝，叫我们不再作罪的奴仆。” 注意一下时态。不是“正在被钉十字架”，而是“将要被钉十字架”，而是“已经钉十字架”。过去式，已经完成。旧人，罪性，与撒旦联合的灵性死亡的自我，已经与基督一同死在十字架上。那个旧人已经死了，他不再存在了。 当你重生时，你得到的不是一个改过自新的旧人，而是一个全新的人。

让我解释一下：当我们接受耶稣基督为救主，并承认他为我们的主时，我们就成了新造的人。从经验上讲，那个旧人就消失了，在基督里的新人取而代之。旧的你已经死了，新的你已经活了。旧的你是个罪人，新的你是义人。旧的你在灵性上是死的，新的你拥有永生。你需要停止认同那个死人，开始认同这个新人。

现在，关键在于此。首先，约翰福音4章17节说：“他如何，我们在这世上也如何。”请仔细阅读这句话。他如何，我们亦如何。不是他行走在世上时的样子，而是他如今坐在父神右边的样子。荣耀、得胜、凯旋，正如他如此，我们在这世上也如此。耶稣基督身上一切使他美好的特质，都在新造的人身上；我们拥有他所拥有的那种生命，那种对自然的爱，我们也拥有他所拥有的那种爱。想想耶稣在世时是怎样的。他无所畏惧。他战胜了魔鬼。他战胜了疾病。他战胜了匮乏。他一开口，风暴就听从；他一发令，死人就复活。为什么？因为他是神的义。他没有罪的意识。他没有自卑感。他拥有神圣的意识。他与父同心。他知道自己是谁。 如今，祂怎样，你也怎样。你拥有同样的义，同样的权柄，同样的亲近天父的权利，同样的圣灵住在你里面。唯一的区别是，耶稣知道自己是谁，而大多数信徒却不知道。

让我们来谈谈站在天父面前。这是整本圣经中最能带来自由的真理之一。希伯来书4:16说：“所以，我们只管坦然无惧地来到施恩的宝座前，为要得怜恤，蒙恩惠，作随时的帮助。” 坦然无惧，不要胆怯，不要辩解，不要畏缩，要坦然无惧。为什么？因为你是义人。因为耶稣就是你的义。因为你在基督里成了神的义。我们可以像耶稣在世时那样，站在天父面前，因为耶稣就是我们的义。 你可以坦然地站在祂面前，不带一丝愧疚、谴责或自卑感。大多数信徒甚至无法理解这一点。他们觉得自己需要乞求，需要恳求，需要不断提醒上帝自己是多么不配。但这却是对基督已完成救赎工作的亵渎。耶稣的死不是为了让你乞讨，而是为了让你得胜。

罗马书5:17说：“若因一人的过犯，死就因这一人作王，何况那些领受丰盛恩典和义的恩赐的人，岂不更要因耶稣基督一人在生命中作王吗？” 你应该作王，而不是乞求，不是挣扎，也不是勉强生存。你要作王。但如果你不认识自己的尊荣，你就无法作王。如果你把自己看作乞丐，你就无法作王。如果你活在定罪之中，你就无法作王。

 现在，我要揭露仇敌用来捆绑信徒的最大谎言——不配得的谎言。仇敌低语道：“你不配。看看你的过去，看看你的错误，看看你的失败。你怎敢妄想自己能坦然无惧地来到上帝面前？”大多数信徒都认同他的说法。他们说：“你说得对，我不配。我只是一个蒙恩得救的罪人。”

但上帝并非如此说。上帝说，你配得，不是因为你做了什么，而是因为耶稣所成就的。当上帝注视你时，他看不到你的过去，看不到你的错误，看不到你的罪。他看到的是耶稣基督，是义，是他所爱的孩子。

要知道，撒旦无法战胜那位知道自己在基督里是上帝义的人，那位知道耶稣已成为他智慧的人。这样的人，才是真正的主人。

 你之所以是大师，并非因为你完美无缺，而是因为你在基督里，在基督里你得以完全。

希伯来书10:14说：“因为他一次献祭，便叫那得以成圣的人永远完全。”这里说的“完全”并非指现在完全，也并非指将来某一天会完全，而是指永远完全。这工已经完成。你在基督里已经完全。你无需添加任何东西，也无需赚取任何东西。你只需要知道你是谁。

让我们来谈谈你可以坦诚承认的关于你自己的事，因为这才是真正考验的时候。它代表着理论或想法在现实世界中接受检验的时刻。它指的是我们从计划或谈论某事到实际行动的那一刻。

你能说“我在基督里是神的义”吗？还是你内心深处有什么东西在抗拒这句话？

你能说“我是与耶稣同为后嗣的”吗？还是这听起来很傲慢？

你能说“我与基督一同坐在天上，远远超过一切执政的、掌权的”吗？还是这让你觉得狂妄自大？

我一直不敢承认我就是圣经所说的那样。圣经说我得救赎，但我却感受不到救赎。他描述的就是这种挣扎。你知道，圣经上是这么说的，但你没有这种感觉，所以你不敢承认。但感觉与此无关。这与情绪无关。

 这关乎法律的现实。在天上的法庭上，无论你是否觉得自己义，你都是神的义。在天父的心中，无论你是否觉得自己得胜，你都与基督同坐。在永恒的约中，无论你是否觉得自己配得，你都是与耶稣同为后嗣。当你开始承认神所说的你是谁时，你的经历就会开始与神的话语相符。

现在让我向你展示耶稣与大多数信徒之间的区别。这并非能力上的差异，而是身份上的差异。耶稣知道他是谁。在马太福音12章42节，他说：“有一位比所罗门更大的在这里。”想想这句话的大胆之处。所罗门是以色列历史上最智慧、最富有、最有权势的君王。而耶稣说：“我比所罗门更大。”这不是傲慢，这是真理，这是身份。 这就是认识自己，并且不为此道歉。我不知道我们是否真正认识到自己的身份。我们还没有真正认识到自己在基督里的地位，在神的大家庭中的地位。我们是全能神的儿女。所罗门不过是大卫的儿子。你明白吗？在神的国里，最小的也比所罗门大。因为所罗门拥有的是天然的智慧，而你却拥有基督的心。所罗门拥有的是天然的财富，而你却可以在基督耶稣里享受荣耀的丰富。所罗门是以色列的君王，而你却是神的君王和祭司，藉着耶稣基督在生命中掌权。你并不比耶稣低贱。你在耶稣里。他的一切，你也一样。约翰一书 4:17 又说：“他在世上怎样，我们在这世上也怎样。”

让我们来谈谈内心深处隐藏的人。这被称为重生的灵。彼得前书 3:4 谈到内心深处隐藏的人。这才是真正的你。 不是你的身体，不是你的思想，不是你的情感，而是你的灵。

当你重生时，你的灵被重新创造。它领受了神的性情。它变得义了。它变得有生命了。它与主联合了。《哥林多前书》6:17说：“与主联合的，便是与主成为一灵。” 一灵，不是两个，而是一个。你和耶稣在灵里联合。你们融合了。你们合而为一。你们是一体的。

这真正揭示了我们今天在基督里的身份，揭示了祂所说的我们是谁，揭示了祂在祂伟大的救赎工作中使我们成为什么样的人。内心深处隐藏的人就是新的你，真实的你，永恒的你。这隐藏的人是义的。这隐藏的人是得胜的。这隐藏的人是主宰。但问题是，大多数信徒让外在的人、身体和感官支配了内在的人。 他们让眼见凌驾于神的话语之上，让感觉否定神的话语。这就是为什么他们过着失败的生活，不是因为他们不义，而是因为他们不知道自己是义的。

现在，我们来谈谈“与神性有份”。这是彼得后书1章4节的内容，也是整本圣经中最令人震撼的经文之一。经文说：“因此，神已将又宝贵又极大的应许赐给我们，叫我们既脱离世上从情欲来的败坏，就得与神的性情有份。” 与神的性情有份，不是仰慕者，不是追随者，而是分享者。

这意味着你拥有与神相同的性情。同样的生命，同样的爱，同样的公义，同样的能力。我们实际上是与神性有份。神的生命和本质从葡萄树流淌到枝子上。

想想这意味着什么。你不是试图成为像神一样的人，而是神的性情住在你里面。当圣经说神就是爱，而你是与他性情有份的人时，这意味着你拥有同样的爱的性情。

 圣经说神是光，你是分得祂本性的，这意味着你拥有同样的光。

圣经说神是公义的，你是分得祂本性的，这意味着你也是公义的。这并非关乎更加努力，也并非关乎做得更好，而是关乎你本来的样子。

让我来解读罗马书第八章。因为这一章驳斥了所有定罪的论点。罗马书8:1：“如今，那些在基督耶稣里的人，就不被定罪了。” 完全不被定罪。一点也不。有时也不。完全不被定罪。为什么？因为你完美吗？不。因为耶稣是完美的，而你在祂里面。罗马书8:33-34：“谁能控告神所拣选的人呢？有神称他们为义了。谁能定他们的罪呢？有基督耶稣已经死了，而且复活了。” 谁能控告你？没有人。为什么？因为神已经称你为义。谁能定你的罪？没有人。为什么？因为基督为你而死，为你而复活。

我们现在知道，罪的意识只是仇敌的伪装。我们在基督里是完全的，只是我们自己不知道。我们在基督里是神的义，只是我们自己不知道。仇敌无法在法律上定你的罪，所以他会在精神上动摇你。他会提起你的过去，提醒你过去的失败，他会低声说：“你不够好。”但这是个谎言。你足够好，不是因为你自己，而是因为耶稣基督。

罗马书8章37节说：“然而，靠着爱我们的主，在这一切事上，我们已经得胜有余了。”得胜有余。 不是勉强生存，也不是挣扎求生。而是得胜有余。得胜者是赢得战斗的人，而得胜有余的人甚至无需战斗，因为耶稣基督已经赢得了胜利。你不是在努力争取胜利，而是在巩固耶稣已经赢得的胜利。你不是在努力成为义人，而是在活出你已经拥有的义。你不是在努力赢得神的爱，而是在安息于他已经赐予你的爱中。

现在，让我们来看看耶稣的自信与信徒的怀疑之间的对比。这正是令人信服之处。耶稣在约翰福音14章6节说：“我就是道路、真理、生命；若不藉着我，没有人能到父那里去。” 绝对的自信，毫无犹豫，毫无歉意。我就是道路。

 耶稣在约翰福音8章12节说：“我是世界的光。跟从我的，就不在黑暗里走，必要得着生命的光。”再次强调，这是完全的自信。我是世界的光。 耶稣在约翰福音11章25节说：“复活在我，生命也在我。信我的人，虽然死了，也必复活。”

毫无疑问，我就是复活，生命。耶稣为何如此自信？因为他知道自己是谁。他知道自己的身份。他知道自己的权柄。如今，你也拥有同样的权柄。你拥有同样的身份。你在他里面。但大多数信徒说“我是义人”时，都会感到内疚。他们说“我是得胜的”时，都会感到自负。他们说“我是蒙福的”时，都会感到傲慢。为什么？因为他们被教导要宣告自己所看到的，而不是神所说的话。你看，当耶稣开始公开传道时，他就是神义的彰显。耶稣没有罪的感觉，也没有自卑的感觉。他是超人。他是魔鬼的主宰。他是疾病的主宰。当你…… 我进入基督里，他就成了我们的义。然后，藉着新造，我们在他里面成为神的义。你就是耶稣。不是在未来，不是某一天，而是现在。那使耶稣无所畏惧的义也在你里面。那使耶稣成为主人的权柄也属于你。那使耶稣勇敢的信心也为你预备。但你必须认识它。你必须承认它。你必须活出它。现在，让我们来看看实际应用。你如何活在新造的现实中呢？

第一步，停止承认你不是什么。永远不要再说“我只是个罪人”。你不是罪人，你是义人。永远不要再说我不配，你是配得的。耶稣使你配得。永远不要再说你软弱。《哥林多后书》12:10说：“我什么时候软弱，什么时候就刚强了。”

第二步，开始承认你是什么。大声说出来。我在基督里是神的义。我和耶稣同为后嗣。我与基督一同坐在天上，远远超过一切执政的、掌权的。我有份于神的性情。我是新造的人。旧事已过，一切都变成新的了。

第三步，坦然无惧地站在天父面前。祷告时，不要卑躬屈膝，不要乞求。要坦然无惧地来到祂面前。你有权利在那里。耶稣给了你这个权利。祂的宝血买赎了你与祂相交的权利。 第四步，活出你的本性。你是尊贵的，你是神的儿子，你是主人。别再活得像个受害者，别再像个乞丐，别再表现得像个失败者。靠着爱你的主，你远胜过一切。

第五步，研读保罗书信。福音书向你展现耶稣，而书信则向你展现你在基督里的身份。罗马书、以弗所书、歌罗西书，这些书信将彻底改变你的身份。

让我告诉你最后一个真理，它将永远释放你。把一个双手沾满兄弟鲜血的魔鬼之子带走，改变他的本性。不，不是这样的。是赐予他新的生命，摧毁他原有的家庭地位，让他成为家庭中的儿子。你明白重生的力量吗？神并没有清除你旧的本性，而是彻底摧毁了它。他没有改善你过去的自己。 祂将他钉在十字架上，然后赐予你一个全新的生命，神的性情。你不是一个悔改的罪人，而是一个全新的创造。你不是一个蒙赦免的罪犯，而是一个蒙爱的儿子。你不是一个被拯救的奴隶，而是一个与基督同为后嗣的人。最后，我希望你们明白你们刚刚所学到的真理的力量。这不是励志演讲，也不是积极思考，而是你新造之人身份的法律现实。

当耶稣基督死在十字架上时，祂不仅赦免了你的罪，祂还使你成为义人。祂不仅救你脱离地狱，祂还使你成为与祂同为后嗣的人。祂不仅赐予你永生，祂还赐予你神的性情。你不再是过去的你，不再是你过去所定义的你，也不再是仇敌控告你的那种人。你是一个新造的人，你在基督里拥有神的义。 你与他一同坐在天上。你分享了神的性情。当你开始活出你真正的身份时，一切都会改变。

我们是基督耶稣里的新造之人。我们与神紧密相连。我们分享神的性情。我们里面有神自己的生命。我们身边有伟大的安慰者——圣灵。你并不孤单。你并不软弱。你没有失败。你在基督里。在基督里，你就是神所说的一切。

现在就宣告：“我在基督里是神的义。我是新造的人。旧事已过。”

确立你的身份。宣告你是谁。让世人知道你不再活在你的特权之下。

活在新造的现实中，活在耶稣奇妙的名里，行在得胜中。

你不是乞丐。你是君王。

 你不是受害者，你是胜利者。

你并不软弱，你在主里，倚靠他的大能大力，刚强如刚。行在其中吧。秘密已揭晓，真理已显明。你知道你是谁，活出你的身份。阿门。

 Crucify the flesh and LET GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT LEAD YOU today

Fight to praise God our Heavenly Father every morning , every evening, every night , lift up your hands and look up to Him

TODAY RUN BACK TO GOD. Psalm 37:7 says, “Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him.” “All things under God's arrangements and sovereignty obey natural laws, and if you resolve to let God arrange and dictate everything for you, you should learn to wait, you should learn to seek, and you should learn to submit. This Bible verse does not just tell us that new things are possible if we work hard enough. Isaiah 43:19 tells us that it is always God at work doing something new — in us, around us, through us, for us, and for the benefit of others in our midst. Still, we play an important part. Ephesians 3:19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. --- “The fullness of God” is expressed only in Christ. In union with Christ and through His empowering Spirit, we are complete.

Receiving the Mysterious Reality of the More-Than-A-Prophet Ministry

 🙏🏽 Loving heavenly Father, once again after some time I am here before your children. We know we have been together in the spirit by your anointing and Lord your hand has been upon us and kept us. We cannot be thankful enough but especially to come here and find your children still serving you rejoicing at your word waiting for that grand hour , Lord when our bodies shall be changed. I pray that God you know my weaknesses, my limitations, my tiredness over all this period of time, laboring in the field. I just pray that God you come and touch this body and Lord that you just help me to get out of the way and that you'll be the One to come and become a blessing to your children like you've always done. And bless them, Lord God and bless us together, Lord as you Lord unveil yourself through the 23:42 breaking of the word anoint me and lord speak through these lips of clay that which you ordained to edify, to strengthen and encourage your children. We thank you because we know you have always been there for us. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.

I just wanted us to turn to our bibles and I wanted us to start with the book of Matthew chapter 21.  Matthew chapter 21 from verse 23. I think I'll read up to verse 27. And when he came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came out to him, as he was teaching and he said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority? by what authority do we these things and who gave thee this authority and jesus answered and said unto them,  I also will ask you one thing which if you tell me , I in likewise will tell you by what authority i do these things. So in other words the question the answer to the question was in the question that it was going to give them. The baptism of John, whence was it from, heaven or of man.  And they reasoned with themselves saying, if we shall say from heaven, he will say unto us, why did he did he not believe him but if we shall say of men, we fear the people for all hold him as a prophet. Now I want you to mark that statement.   They hold him as a prophet and they answered Jesus and said, "We cannot tell." And he said unto them, "Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things." So there was a statement. And if you'll see in this chapter in verse 12 he speaks again about John the Baptist. He says for John, came unto you in the way of righteousness and you believed him not, but the publicans and the harlots believed him and he when you had seen it repented the note  afterwards that you might be that you might believe him why he brings it again and then at the end of this chapter there is something again strange  in verse 45 and when the chief priests and pharisees had had he had this parable they perceived that he speak of them but when they sought to lay hands on him they feared a multitude. Why? Because they took him for a prophet. So the majority took Jesus for a prophet and they also held John the Baptist for a prophet. May God bless his word and bless you. May be seated. 

I wanted us as we see it to go back to Matthew chapter 11 and see why Jesus points this book back to John the Baptist because in Matthew 11 from verse 2 now when John had in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples and said unto them i mean say it unto him and thou he that should come or do we look for another. Now this is the man who introduced him but we are trying to follow a thought that I want us to follow like a trail through these meetings why did such things happen they were not a mistake they were right in God's purpose and plan. 

 John who introduced Jesus is sending the disciples to inquire whether he's the messiah or they should look for another and Jesus doesn't go on a condemning spree castigating and belittling John  no but he points to the resultant effect or product of what John introduced. And Jesus, that's verse 4 answer and said unto them go and show John again the things which you do hear and see , the blind receive their sight, the lamb walk the lepers are cleansed, the death here the dead are raised up the poor have the gospel preached to them and blessed is he whosoever shall not be offended in me and as   they departed Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: what he went out  into the wilderness to see? a reed shaken with the wind but what went he out for to see, a man clothed in soft raiment behold either way a softer clothing and the king's houses but wait what went he out for to see? a prophet, yeah, and i say unto you and more than a prophet for this is of whom it is written, behold I send my messenger before thy face which shall prepare thy way before thee, verily say unti you among them that are born  of women there has not risen a greater than John the Baptist of all born of women. In other words with only the exception of himself the speaker Jesus Christ and adam the rest John the Baptist was greater than them but I want us to look at how could you compare the ministry of John the Baptist with the minister of Moses if it was in comparison terms of the supernatural, the anointing, the prophecies, the miracles, the signs, and wonders, the demonstration of power. How could John stand a chance to be compared with Moses? How could he even be compared with the righti mean isaiah we've even done here all those prophets if you've got to look at the supernatural, the miraculous, the signs, they were all above John. But why is Jesus saying of all that is born that are born of women no one is greater than John the Baptist. And John the Baptist was so scared down in the spiritual and prophecies. Tell me 10 prophecies, five of them which John the Baptist prophesied he was a prophet yes but what did he prophesy. What did he tell us about the future. And today we believe him to be a prophet and the Bible says he's a prophet. And jesus says he's more than a prophet.   And of all that were born of women, no one can come near to John the Baptist. So there is a mystery there that if God gives me the grace, we could look at. So when you begin to look at this, what is Jesus trying to draw the people's attention to. He says he's more than a prophet. And of alI other born of women. There's not reason a greater than John the  Baptist. Not with his turning that is however the least. He that is the least, or least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than John. So the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than John because those who are born in the kingdom of heaven are not born of women. They are born of the incorruptible seed. And John never became a Christian. He pointed the people to Christ but he never became a christian. And that's why a Christian, the least in the kingdom of Christianity, the kingdom of Christ becomes greater than John because he remained within the confines of the or the dispensation of servant prophets. But we are now in the dispensation of sons and daughters of God. So John when he had a chance to be baptized he never went on to be baptized. He only told Jesus , I have need of you to baptize me, how do you come to me. And Jesus says, fine I understand you, you understand me, let me baptize you, I mean, you baptize me. Servant prophet. That's why the least in the kingdom of heaven, in the kingdom of Christ, in the new dispensation of the new covenant which is the new testament, he becomes the least but in the old testament, all the dispensation those born of women, those upon whom the Holy Spirit came upon not into, no one was greater than John. Now I'm talking about receiving the mysterious reality of them, more than a prophet ministry. More than a prophet. What was that more than a prophet. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Jesus is saying, you went to see whom do, we do, you go, did you go to look for. What did you go to see. What did you go to receive. And of course John the Baptist parallels today, as John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming of Jesus, so shall your message forerun the second coming.

So the question is, what did you got to see. What did he go in the wilderness to receive the word of the king. So what did you go to receive from him. And until you know what you came to the message for,  you have missed it. And that's why there is where people are hitting a snag. They are no longer able to see where they are going. They are in a spiritual fog,  they can't understand, they have lost identity because they came to believe something, they came to believe the message, they came to hear a prophet, they came to believe Malachi 4 but what they receive? What did you go out for to receive?   What is that that you have said you are a believer. You believe what? What have you received? What have you believed? And that's why when they are questioning the authority of Jesus, the question about the source of the authority of Jesus, Jesus puts them back to the one who introduced to him. If you know what his message was, if you knew, if you had received that message, if you knew why you  went to the wilderness, if you had received the reality of why you went to the wilderness, what you were supposed to go and receive, you will not be asking me with that question. So the answer to your question is in the reason why you went into the wilderness but you went to a wilderness, you when you put the effort you went there but you missed it.   So go back to your drawing boards and begin to find out why you went to the wilderness. Then you know why I have this authority. So the authority that I have today begins from there. When you receive the reality of your day's prophet, what his real message is, you get to know this. But if you missed that, you will not understand this. Blessed be the name of the Lord. And you see, the reason many are hitting the snag and I wouldn't want you to reach that spot because it is very dangerous. It is very important for you to know what you have received. I mean, it's good to come here, to be a good believer, to pay tithes and offerings, to be a deacon, to be a trustee, to be a good preacher but you have seen that men have been good preachers and they have failed. You can be a very good preacher. You can be very anointed. You can be very spiritual even, even in the spirit and you have missed it. Because even Judas missed it. Yet he was with the reality but he never got the revelation of what this man was. Who he was. Because brother Branham says what makes John the Baptist stands out is because he was the messenger of the new covenant. God was starting something, and that was the alpha, now we are in the omega, the completion of that new covenant.   When all the loose ends are tied and the fullness of the word is brought. And then you are introduced to him. So the Him, Christ is the step beyond the prophet. So the message that you are supposed to receive is more than, is beyond the prophet. So you are not supposed just to hold him as a prophet. The Sanhedrin knew that the multitudes held John as a prophet. They even held Jesus, took Jesus for a prophet. They accepted him as a prophet until the the Pharisees and Sadducees afraid attitude feared to arrest Jesus because they knew the multitude could stone them because the multitude believed that Jesus was a prophet. And they were even scared to say that the ministry of John the Baptist was of men because they knew men could easily stone them. Men held John as a prophet but they ended with John as a prophet. But John had a ministry,  a mysterious reality beyond the office of a prophet, he was more than a prophet. He brought a message and the message was greater than him and he was supposed to become a thing, immediately he introduces the reality. And that's why he could even begin to doubt what he spoke the other day. And Jesus didn't even think about it. It didn't even matter to him. He couldn't even talk about it. And you look at this man, he has backslidden. John had already finished his work. He had already done his part and whether he was doubting or not, it was not having his business. As far as God was concerned, his work was already done. So you begin to look about his mistakes, his failures, his unbelief, what he's saying at this time about the ministry. That was no problem.  In other words, there was an allowance for John to begin to express doubt over what he introduced.  An allowance and heaven never recognized that heaven recognized one thing John had already identified, introduced their reality and showed them to the world. Here is the man and that's why you find those who hold the messenger of the day as a prophet they hold him as a prophet they put him in a prophetic office and they begin to examine him, look he said this, he said that, he said this, he said that why they hold him as a prophet they end on the prophetic office they are looking at the prophet but brother branham is more than a prophet. his ministry went beyond the prophetic office and every prophet there is another one  for so many errors to blinding those who want to  scientifically and critically look at the ministry lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with  their hearts and that they should repent and i see the heart heal them  why why did God you know i talked with brother Chad one time we

( Watch here )

have not told that question up to now Moses was  married to Zipporah the median artist when did he marry the Ethiopian human wasn't Miriam right to complain wasn't Miriam legally right, morally right when did the Moses married this Ethiopian human who told him to does the Bible say anything about it but Miriam when he saw the mistake when she saw the mistake together with her brother Aaron and they spoke about it, God was silent. So we don't know. God is dealing between Moses, between him and Moses about the issue of marrying the Ethiopian woman. We don't know, we don't know whether Zipporah had died or not, the Bible doesn't mention but he married an Ethiopian woman, this was the medianity human and Miriam is complaining and Aaron is complaining. So biblically, scripturally according to the law, they are right. This is an error and this is a prophet. And this is an office and if he makes an error, we have a right to point it out. No right to point out. God came down and said, can't you fear God. Why was God protecting the error of Moses? Can't we go back and look at that carefully. Why would God defend Abraham for telling a lie? And he makes Abimelech  to pay a fine for taking the away the prophet's wife. Why would God do that? There was a confidence between the two.  He had a message and the Abraham's message was to Sarah, the church. And make no mistake about that. He has a lot of errors and he kept telling lies but God never looked at them. And he's like he had immunity. Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD does not impute. So how does that scripture work unless that man is given the opportunity to do something wrong. And who are you today, to question God why. The other one is giving him, you know, that privilege which I'm not children, I don't know.  I don't know God's deal. My work was to receive the message, not to examine the messenger. Remember my robins you remember the ravens.  You are not supposed to ask who whether they have sterilized they are big so not they are just commanded to bring you food, just receive the food and eat. No question. Where are you getting them sandwiches from? Did you sterilize your beaks?  I have commanded the raven to feed you. So they'll be bringing you food. Why didn't you send a dove, God, why did you decide to send an uncleaning bird. Don't ask me questions . You needed a food.  Are we going to tell God he was wrong to send this one, he was supposed to send who, what did he go to the wilderness look for. Mr Perfect? He, no, he was not Mr Perfect, he was to introduce Mr Perfect, Christ Jesus, but he was not Mr Perfect. So don't begin to look at the introducer to be Mr Perfect. He introduced Mr Perfect to you, look at the One he introduced to you. So we are in a dangerous age, where people are pointing you to the messenger. They hold him, are holding on him, they are making him accountable to that office, we shall begin to say maybe tomorrow who, who is the culprit and who is the victim. Are you the believer who is the victim of the preacher or the preacher is also the victim, You can say, oh okay pastor chad, you preached the word, I mean I believed okay but I also didn't call myself to preach, I was also saying what to preach the gospel so who is wrong who has a case  i was warned to me if i don't preach the word the gospel and want you if you don't believe there gospel so if i preach it hard and it hurts you and say well that pastor has a problem okay i wouldn't have had a problem with you if I was not sent.  So are we going to turn and blame God? No. How can we, how dare we. So here we are, do we blame the vessel he said oh he blamed the sender and why did the center continue using the scent and he knows the scent has got a lot of problems well according to God's big plan he's not interested so much in the weaknesses of the scent but he's interested in the purpose of the scent the message that he gave the messenger so there is a more than a prophet reality in other words when John questions Jesus doesn't condemn Jesus, doesn't even speak anything   negative, he only magnifies what that office has done says I am the reality, if you are doubting, go and tell John what you see and what you hear. John introduced this many have ended all John that's why even Herod and his wife killed John because they held John responsible for what he preached. Now I'm not going to hold brother Branham I'm responsible for what he preached although he said I am responsible  as long as he was God his voice he's not responsible for the message he was a pipe,  he was a vessel, he was a channel that God used neither am I going to question the  message based on the weakness of the messenger, that's not my business, that's God's business. My business is to receive the reality, going beyond the office of a prophet. Why? let's look at this critically. Those who held, who took Jesus for a prophet, later on denied him and condemned him and said "crucify him", do you know that even Herod who killed John the Baptist, the Bible says he had him gradually and didn't want even to harm him, but just to please his wife, had put John in prison until a convenient they came but Herod was not intending to kill John, he took him for a prophet,  he believed John was a prophet but the one who believed John to be a prophet, kill the Jew when circumstances came, when a convenient day came, amen. A day of convenience when another voice rises up to be vindictive to pin him, he must die that voice must be dealt with he killed him so whoever ended with holding John only as a prophet that didn't benefit him, the multitudes took him for a prophet, the multitudes took Jesus for a prophet but it's a multitude to say crucify him. So we have to know what we went for in this message. What did you go to see, to receive and if you have believed, what did you believe, what is the message, so when Jesus went into the temple there was authority felt and today Jesus comes into the temple, which is temple, the temple of his body, the body of the bride and the authority this must be displayed and then the question begins to come where did you get this authority because the reality of what John introduced is now manifested in flesh, he's walking on two feet. And that's the answer i remember one brother was asking me, brother Abraham, I had so and so tell me you prayed for him and God healed him the instant you just prayed for him on the phone. I said what's wrong. So okay I wanted to ask you, brother Abraham, what are you becoming in this time are you another prophet. Are you another special brother to arise in the message. I said come on, what why are you asking me that. I have never one day claimed that I'm a prophet, I've never come here that I'm coming from Uganda to come here and to prophesy about people, discern people. No, I'm a preacher. When you are questioning about the authority this ministry was it of William Branham or was it from heaven where do we derive our authority is it from a man okay the minister of that man was it a man of God was it that he was trained was it because he was a good trader or rather a good speaker fine polished fine character the man were accepted around the world supported by the denominational structures no who gave him authority the commission of an angel who sent the  angel who was the angel if you shall get the people to believe you if you shall be sincere and get the people to believe you nothing shall stand before you not even  cancer. Where did the message come from, where did the commission come from, what was the source of the authority and he that receives a prophet in the name of the prophet received as a prophet said what and you know this is my time that's why I stand here. and I have the privilege to step into the shoes of the supreme command as I was with Moses so will I be with you, as I was with Elijah, so will I be with you, you are in the time of Elisha who gave you this authority. Blessed be the name of the Lord . Then I mean there is that question that there is that let me call it a vacuum that someone is not supposed to step there you are not supposed to say I mean one brother was telling me I was preaching somewhere and then he was telling me for us we don't believe in supernatural, I said well that means you don't even believe in God because God is financial because I mean I believe in the spiritual God so he's not just spanish or by title he's exponential by action that is what he is and I'm not about here to talk about dead religion I said brother you see these things you know We have the Word you are you know it's not about this and that i said what about the Word , the Word made flesh what does it do, you mean Jesus was not the Word.    I think Jesus was the Word made flesh he was the anointed one and what did he do he was not a backup unless we shall watch a man moving around looking down in the face of demons  he was anointed wherever he went demons was screaming he was not running away from demons and

Lord, Set My Heart on Fire for You Again

 Seigneur, embrase à nouveau mon cœur pour toi.

主啊，求你再次点燃我心中对你的爱火 

Heavenly Father, I thank you for this moment and the new day you have graciously given me. 

 I thank you for waking me and allowing me to stand in this moment to breathe, think, reflect, and come before you again. 

 I thank you for this timely word and for insisting on my life and the state of my heart. 

Thank you for not leaving me to myself or allowing me to remain in dryness without confronting me with your truth. 

You have seen my coldness and lukewarmness and know this is not what I should be. 

Yet despite all this, you have not turned me away, abandoned me, or shut the door against me. Instead, you have drawn near, spoken, and called me again. 

Lord, I thank you for your mercy and patience. 

I thank you because your love has remained steady even when my heart has not.

Père céleste, je te remercie pour cet instant et pour cette nouvelle journée que tu m'as si gracieusement offerte.

Je te remercie de m'avoir réveillé et de me permettre de prendre ce temps pour respirer, réfléchir, méditer et me présenter à nouveau devant toi.

Je te remercie pour cette parole opportune et pour ton attention portée à ma vie et à l'état de mon cœur.

Merci de ne pas m'avoir abandonné à moi-même ni de m'avoir laissé dans l'aridité spirituelle sans me confronter à ta vérité.

Tu as vu ma froideur et ma tiédeur et tu sais que je ne devrais pas être ainsi.

Pourtant, malgré tout cela, tu ne m'as ni repoussé, ni abandonné, ni fermé la porte. Au contraire, tu t'es approché, tu m'as parlé et tu m'as appelé de nouveau.

Seigneur, je te remercie pour ta miséricorde et ta patience.

Je te remercie car ton amour est resté inébranlable même lorsque mon cœur a vacillé.

天父，我感谢您赐予我此刻和新的一天。

我感谢您唤醒我，让我此刻得以呼吸、思考、反省，并再次来到您面前。

我感谢您及时赐予我的话语，感谢您如此关注我的生命和我的内心。

感谢您没有让我孤单，也没有让我一直处于干涸的状态，而是用您的真理来面对我。

您看到了我的冷漠和不冷不热，也知道这并非我应有的状态。

然而，尽管如此，您并没有离弃我、抛弃我，也没有对我关上大门。相反，您亲近我，向我说话，再次呼唤我。

主啊，我感谢您的怜悯和耐心。

我感谢您，因为即使我的心动摇，您的爱也始终如一。

 Father, I admit this moment that everything you said in this devotional touched me deeply. 

 It reached parts of my heart I have ignored for too long. It woke up places inside me that I thought I could keep overlooking, those places I tried to pretend were still alive even though they had already started to grow cold. 

I remember what it felt like to be on fire for you. I remember being filled with your love, waking up hungry for your presence, longing to spend time with you, and feeling joy just because I belonged to you. 

 I remember when prayer felt alive, worship felt real, and your word moved something deep inside me. 

 But now, Lord, when I look within, I can't find that same fire of love l once had. 

Père, je dois avouer que tout ce que tu as dit dans cette méditation m'a profondément touché.

Ces paroles ont touché des parties de mon cœur que j'avais trop longtemps ignorées. Elles ont réveillé en moi des aspects que je pensais pouvoir continuer d'ignorer, ces parties que je m'efforçais de faire croire vivantes alors qu'elles commençaient déjà à se refroidir.

Je me souviens de cette flamme qui brûlait en toi. Je me souviens d'être empli de ton amour, de me réveiller avec une soif de ta présence, de désirer ardemment passer du temps avec toi et de ressentir une joie immense simplement parce que je t'appartenais.

Je me souviens de l'époque où la prière prenait vie, où l'adoration était authentique et où ta parole émouvait quelque chose de profond en moi.

Mais maintenant, Seigneur, quand je regarde en moi, je ne retrouve plus cette même flamme d'amour qui m'animait autrefois.

父啊，我承认，此刻您在这篇灵修文章中所说的一切都深深触动了我。

它触及了我内心深处那些我长期以来忽略的地方。它唤醒了我内心深处那些我以为可以继续忽略的地方，那些我试图假装仍然鲜活，却早已开始冷却的地方。

我记得曾经对您充满热情的感觉。我记得被您的爱充满，醒来就渴望您的同在，渴望与您相处，仅仅因为我属于您就感到无比喜乐。

我记得那时祷告充满生命力，敬拜真切，您的话语深深触动了我的内心。

但是现在，主啊，当我审视内心时，我再也找不到曾经拥有的那份爱的火焰了。

 I can't find the love that used to fill me, the love that used to draw me close to you. 

 I confess that I have gotten too comfortable with this lukewarmness. I let it stay for too long. I let it settle in my heart until it started to feel normal. 

I admit my heart has grown cold. I tried to ignore it, Lord. I tried to act like everything was fine. I kept going through the motions while avoiding the truth inside. 

But now I see it clearly. My eyes are open. I can't deny the state of my heart before you anymore. 

Please forgive me, Lord, for letting it go on this long, for letting this condition continue and for accepting as normal what should have troubled me. 

Forgive me for every time l ignored the warning signs. Forgive me for every time I chose comfort instead of being set apart.

Je ne retrouve plus l'amour qui m'animait autrefois, l'amour qui me rapprochait de toi.

Je confesse m'être trop habituée à cette tiédeur. Je l'ai laissée s'installer trop longtemps. Je l'ai laissée s'enraciner dans mon cœur jusqu'à ce qu'elle me paraisse normale.

J'admets que mon cœur s'est refroidi. J'ai essayé de l'ignorer, Seigneur. J'ai essayé de faire comme si de rien n'était. J'ai continué à agir machinalement, fuyant la vérité qui était en moi.

Mais maintenant, je vois clair. Mes yeux sont ouverts. Je ne peux plus nier l'état de mon cœur devant toi.

Pardonne-moi, Seigneur, d'avoir laissé les choses perdurer si longtemps, d'avoir laissé cet état se perpétuer et d'avoir accepté comme normal ce qui aurait dû me troubler.

Pardonne-moi d'avoir ignoré tous les signes avant-coureurs. Pardonne-moi d'avoir choisi le confort plutôt que de me séparer de toi.

我找不到曾经充满我内心的爱，找不到曾经让我靠近你的爱。

我承认，我已经习惯了这种冷淡。我让它持续了太久。我让它在我心中安顿下来，直到它开始变得习以为常。

我承认我的心已经变得冰冷。主啊，我试图忽略它。我试图假装一切都很好。我机械地重复着一切，却逃避着内心的真相。

但现在我看得清清楚楚。我的双眼睁开了。我再也无法在你面前否认我内心的状态。

主啊，请原谅我，原谅我让这一切持续了这么久，原谅我让这种状态持续下去，原谅我把本应令我不安的事情视为理所当然。

请原谅我每一次忽视警告信号。请原谅我每一次选择安逸而不是与神分别。

 I ask this moment, Lord, that you help me root out this lukewarmness. Help me root out this dryness. 

 Let the parts in me that have gone dry come alive. 

Father God, I ask that you breathe upon me again. Help me to come back to being on fire for you. 

 Lord, set my heart on fire again. Set my life on fire again for you. Let me happily make time to fellowship with you. 

Help me to long for your word, for those moments of fellowship we used to have. 

Also, Lord, let the things that matter to you matter to me from now on. 

Let the things that move your kingdom forward fill my heart.  Fill me with zeal for your house. And help me, Lord, to seek first your kingdom. 

 Help me to always be mindful of it. 

Not as a second thought, but as a dominant thought.

Seigneur, je te prie en ce moment de me débarrasser de cette tiédeur. Aide-moi à dissiper cette aridité.

Que les parties de moi qui se sont desséchées reprennent vie.

Père céleste, je te demande de souffler à nouveau sur moi. Aide-moi à raviver la flamme de ton amour pour moi.

Seigneur, embrase à nouveau mon cœur. Embrase à nouveau ma vie pour toi. Permets-moi de trouver avec joie le temps de communier avec toi.

Aide-moi à désirer ardemment ta parole, à retrouver ces moments de communion que nous partagions autrefois.

Seigneur, fais que ce qui compte pour toi compte aussi pour moi désormais.

Que ce qui fait avancer ton royaume emplisse mon cœur. Remplis-moi de zèle pour ta maison. Et aide-moi, Seigneur, à chercher d'abord ton royaume.

Aide-moi à toujours y penser.

Non pas comme une pensée secondaire, mais comme une pensée dominante.

主啊，此刻我祈求您帮助我根除这冷淡，根除这枯竭。

愿我里面枯竭的部分重新焕发生机。

天父，我祈求您再次吹拂我，帮助我重新燃起对您炽热的热情。

主啊，求您再次点燃我的心，再次点燃我的生命，让我乐意抽出时间与您相交。

求您帮助我渴望您的话语，渴望我们曾经拥有的那些相交的时光。

主啊，愿从今以后，您所看重的事，我也看重。

愿那些推进您国度的事充满我的心，让我对您的殿宇充满热忱。主啊，求您帮助我，首先寻求您的国。

求您帮助我时刻牢记它，

不是把它当作次要的想法，而是把它当作我最重要的想法。

Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, I also ask that you help me see what caused me to grow cold and lukewarm in the past. 

Help me identify the roots, not just the symptoms. 

Help me see what has sapped your fire from my heart. The things I have indulged in that hollowed me out little by little. Show me the habits, compromises, distractions, environments,  and relationships that weakened my hunger for you.  And Father, if these things are not in me, but in my environment, help me see them clearly. Remove every blindness, excuse and confusion. 

 Help me see them so I can avoid or remove them from my life completely. 

Where my strength is not enough to resist these vices. Where I am not strong enough to say no. 

Father, I pray you strengthen me. Help me resist and not fall back into the patterns that brought me here. 

Père, au nom de Jésus-Christ, je te demande aussi de m'aider à comprendre ce qui m'a rendu froid et tiède par le passé.

Aide-moi à identifier les racines, et non seulement les symptômes.

Aide-moi à voir ce qui a éteint ta flamme dans mon cœur. Les choses auxquelles je me suis adonné et qui m'ont peu à peu vidé de mon énergie. Montre-moi les habitudes, les compromis, les distractions, les environnements et les relations qui ont affaibli ma soif de toi. Et Père, si ces choses ne sont pas en moi, mais dans mon environnement, aide-moi à les voir clairement. Dissipe tout aveuglement, toute excuse et toute confusion.

Aide-moi à les voir afin que je puisse les éviter ou les éliminer complètement de ma vie.

Là où ma force est insuffisante pour résister à ces vices. Là où je n'ai pas la force de dire non.

Père, je te prie de me fortifier. Aide-moi à résister et à ne pas retomber dans les schémas qui m'ont conduit ici.

天父，奉耶稣基督的名，我也祈求您帮助我看清过去是什么让我变得冷淡、不冷不热。

求您帮助我找到根源，而不仅仅是症状。

求您帮助我看清是什么耗尽了我心中对您的热情。我沉溺于哪些事物，一点一点地掏空了我？求您让我看到那些削弱了我对您渴慕的习惯、妥协、干扰、环境和人际关系。天父，如果这些不是在我里面，而是在我的环境中，求您帮助我看清它们。求您除去我的一切盲目、借口和困惑。

求您帮助我看清它们，使我能避免或彻底地从我的生活中清除它们。

在我力量不足以抵挡这些恶习的时候。在我力量不足以说“不”的时候。

天父，我祈求您赐予我力量。帮助我抵挡它们，不再重蹈覆辙，回到那些把我带到如今境地的模式中。

I pray you take me by the hand and lead me through every weak, tempting and vulnerable place so I can live always on fire for you. 

Teach me to protect what you are restoring in me. Teach me to walk with vigilance and remain near to you. And Father, I also pray for the grace to maintain this new fire within. 

I ask for the grace to not just be on fire for today, but the grace to be on fire for you continuously. 

 To live with a heart that is always alive for you. A heart that pants after you. 

Every moment in your presence from now on is blessedness.  My heart hears your word clearly and it blesses me. My mind is renewed as I come  to your word and by it I become transformed. Thank you heavenly Father for listening to me today. 

 I'm grateful for the renewed passion in my heart and for removing the coldness and dryness I felt. 

Thank you for freeing me from what was holding me back. I know my journey with you isn't over. 

Thank you for restoring me and bringing me close again. Today is a new beginning in Jesus' name. 

 Amen. 

**Respected reader,  I hope you are blessed. We pray that all the blessings in this prayer be upon you in Jesus' name. If you need any special prayer, please let us know in the comments section. We would love to pray for you. May the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you now and always.

Je te prie de me prendre par la main et de me guider à travers chaque faiblesse, chaque tentation et chaque vulnérabilité, afin que je vive toujours avec ferveur pour toi.

Apprends-moi à protéger ce que tu restaures en moi. Apprends-moi à marcher avec vigilance et à demeurer près de toi. Et Père, je te prie aussi pour la grâce d'entretenir cette flamme nouvelle en moi.

Je te demande la grâce non seulement d'être fervent aujourd'hui, mais la grâce de l'être continuellement pour toi.

De vivre avec un cœur toujours vibrant pour toi. Un cœur qui aspire à toi.

Chaque instant passé en ta présence, désormais, est une bénédiction. Mon cœur entend clairement ta parole et elle me bénit. Mon esprit est renouvelé lorsque je me tourne vers ta parole et, par elle, je suis transformé. Merci, Père céleste, de m'avoir écouté aujourd'hui.

Je suis reconnaissant pour la passion renouvelée dans mon cœur et pour avoir dissipé la froideur et l'aridité que je ressentais.

Merci de m'avoir libéré de ce qui me retenait. Je sais que mon chemin avec toi n'est pas terminé. 

Merci de m'avoir restauré et de m'avoir rapproché de toi. Aujourd'hui est un nouveau départ au nom de Jésus.

Amen.

Before we pray together, let's read and meditate on Revelation 3: 15-16. 

It says, "I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth."

This scripture begins to feel like a frightening reality in our lives. Deep within it feels as though we are dying on the vine. Today's message is different. It's a call, a prayer, and a cry all at once. 

 It is particularly personal to me because I have lived it. I have lived that fire in God. And I have also seen what the coldness feels like. 

I have also stayed in the in between that lukewarm place that God hates. 

 The funny thing is while I was in that lukewarm state, I thought everything was fine.

Avant de prier ensemble, lisons et méditons sur Apocalypse 3:15-16.

Il est dit : « Je connais tes œuvres ; je sais que tu n’es ni froid ni bouillant. Je voudrais que tu sois l’un ou l’autre ! C’est pourquoi, puisque tu es tiède, ni froid ni bouillant, je vais te vomir de ma bouche. »

Ce passage des Écritures résonne comme une réalité effrayante dans nos vies. Au fond de nous, nous avons l’impression de dépérir. Le message d’aujourd’hui est différent. C’est un appel, une prière et un cri, tout à la fois.

Il me touche particulièrement car je l’ai vécu. J’ai connu cette flamme en Dieu. Et j’ai aussi ressenti la froideur.

J’ai également séjourné dans cette tiédeur que Dieu déteste.

Le plus étrange, c’est que, dans cet état de tiédeur, je pensais que tout allait bien. 

在我们一起祷告之前，让我们先阅读并默想启示录3:15-16。

经文说：“我知道你的行为，你既不冷也不热。我巴不得你或冷或热！你既如温水，也不冷也不热，所以我必从我口中把你吐出去。”

这段经文开始让我们感到恐惧，仿佛是我们生命中一个可怕的现实。内心深处，我们感觉自己就像被钉在葡萄树上等死。今天的信息有所不同。它既是呼召，又是祷告，也是呐喊。

对我而言，这尤其感同身受，因为我曾亲身经历过。我曾体验过神那炽热的火焰，也曾感受过冰冷的滋味。

我也曾徘徊在神所憎恶的不冷不热的状态中。

可笑的是，当我处于这种不冷不热的状态时，我却以为一切都很好。

But it wasn't. I wasn't fine. In fact, that lukewarm in between is one of the most dangerous places a believer can fall into. 

 There is deception in it because you feel that you are so involved, you are growing and then one day you find that you are not growing. 

There is nothing scarier than thinking there is fire within you only to find that all you have is motion. All you are is busy. You do not have the Lord with you. You do not have a relationship, a walk with him. 

You are just busy. 

So what is your heart saying this moment? When was the last time you sat down with God? 

When was the last time you felt that love for God, that fire of God surging within you? When was the last time you felt you were in his presence? 

When was the last time you felt you missed that presence because you had not fellowshipped with him in a while?

Mais ce n'était pas le cas. Je n'allais pas bien. En fait, cette tiédeur est l'un des pièges les plus dangereux pour un croyant.

Il y a de l'illusion, car on a l'impression d'être très impliqué, de progresser, et puis un jour, on se rend compte qu'on ne progresse plus.

Il n'y a rien de plus effrayant que de croire qu'une flamme brûle en soi, pour finalement découvrir qu'il n'y a que de l'agitation. On est simplement occupé. Le Seigneur n'est pas avec nous. On n'a pas de relation, pas de cheminement avec lui.

On est juste occupé.

Alors, que dit votre cœur en ce moment ? Quand avez-vous pris le temps de vous asseoir avec Dieu pour la dernière fois ?

Quand avez-vous ressenti pour la dernière fois cet amour pour Dieu, cette flamme divine qui brûle en vous ? Quand avez-vous eu le sentiment d'être en sa présence pour la dernière fois ?

Quand avez-vous ressenti pour la dernière fois le manque de sa présence, parce que vous n'aviez pas communié avec lui depuis longtemps ?

但事实并非如此。我并不好。实际上，这种不冷不热的状态是信徒最容易陷入的危险境地之一。

这里面充满了欺骗，因为你感觉自己全身心投入，不断成长，但有一天你却发现自己根本没有成长。

没有什么比以为自己内心充满热情，结果却发现只有忙碌更可怕的了。你只是在忙碌。你没有与主同在。你没有与他建立关系，没有与他同行。

你只是在忙碌。

那么，此刻你的内心在诉说什么？你上一次与神亲近是什么时候？

你上一次感受到对神的爱，感受到神在你心中燃烧的热情是什么时候？你上一次感受到自己与他同在是什么时候？

你上一次因为很久没有与他交通而感到想念他的同在是什么时候？

Believer, where is your fire? 

Where is your heart that once panted after God? 

One of the telling signs through which we know that our hearts are still with God is when that panting is still there. 

There is no such thing as mature love in Christ. No matter the type of love, panting must be involved because this fellowship we have with our Maker is a love story. 

Love is the key and love doesn't grow cold except it's dying. According to the contemplations in Psalms 42:1, "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God." 

This is the way our souls must keep panting after the Lord, panting for him. But if we no longer feel that longing, if we no longer feel that fire, then something is wrong. Something is terribly wrong within. 

Croyant, où est ta flamme ?

Où est ton cœur qui haletait après Dieu ?

L'un des signes révélateurs qui nous permettent de savoir que nos cœurs sont toujours auprès de Dieu est la persistance de cette flamme.

En Christ, l'amour n'est jamais totalement parfait. Quel que soit le type d'amour, il doit toujours être accompagné d'un ardent désir, car cette communion avec notre Créateur est une histoire d'amour.

L'amour est la clé, et l'amour ne se refroidit que lorsqu'il meurt. Comme le dit le Psaume 42.1 : « Comme une biche soupire après des courants d'eau, ainsi mon âme soupire après toi, ô Dieu ! »

C'est ainsi que nos âmes doivent sans cesse soupirer après le Seigneur, soupirer après lui. Mais si nous ne ressentons plus ce désir ardent, si nous ne sentons plus cette flamme, alors quelque chose ne va pas. Quelque chose de profondément mauvais se passe en nous.

信徒啊，你的热情在哪里？

你那颗曾经渴慕神的心在哪里？

我们判断自己是否仍然与神同在的一个明显标志，就是那份渴慕之情是否依然存在。

在基督里，没有所谓的成熟之爱。无论是什么类型的爱，都必然包含渴慕之情，因为我们与造物主之间的团契本身就是一个爱的故事。

爱是关键，爱不会冷却，除非它正在消亡。正如诗篇42篇1节所说：“我的神啊，我的心切慕你，如鹿切慕溪水。”

我们的灵魂必须如此，不断地渴慕主，渴慕他。但如果我们不再感受到那份渴望，不再感受到那份热情，那么就出了问题。我们的内心出了大问题。

When the fire of the Lord burns within a man, there is really no doubt that such a man is in love and has been set on fire for the Lord. 

The fire within announces itself. It announces itself in action, in thought, in words, even in relationships. There is that hunger to pray, to study, to live for him. 

We must ask ourselves some very honest questions this moment. Do you still feel all of this? If not,   maybe it's time for you to cry out then. An intervention is critically needed. 

And praise God, intervention is on offer. Our God is forever offering that. 

For everyone that feels cold or that feels lukewarm, I'd like you to know that the fire of the Lord is still available. 

God still supplies fire. He still requires hearts that feel down and out.

Quand le feu du Seigneur brûle en un homme, il ne fait aucun doute que cet homme est amoureux et ardent pour le Seigneur.

Ce feu intérieur se manifeste. Il se manifeste par les actes, les pensées, les paroles, et même dans les relations. Il y a cette soif de prier, d'étudier, de vivre pour lui.

Nous devons nous poser des questions sincères en ce moment. Ressentez-vous encore tout cela ? Si ce n'est pas le cas, il est peut-être temps de crier votre détresse. Une intervention est absolument nécessaire.

Et gloire à Dieu, l'intervention est possible. Notre Dieu l'offre sans cesse.

À tous ceux qui ont froid ou qui sont tièdes, sachez que le feu du Seigneur est toujours présent.

Dieu pourvoit toujours à nos besoins. Il a toujours besoin des cœurs abattus et désespérés.

当主的火焰在人心中燃烧时，毫无疑问，这样的人是深爱着主，并且已被主点燃了热情。

这内在的火焰会显露出来。它会体现在行动、思想、言语，甚至人际关系中。你会渴望祷告、学习、为祂而活。

此刻，我们必须扪心自问：你是否仍然感受到这一切？如果不再感受到，或许是时候向神呼求了。你迫切需要神的介入。

感谢神，祂的介入随时待命。我们的神永远都在提供这样的帮助。

对于所有感到冷漠或不冷不热的人，我想让你们知道，主的火焰依然存在。

神仍然赐予火焰。祂仍然需要那些感到沮丧和绝望的心灵。

Hearts that feel like they are dying on the vine. hearts that feel cold or lukewarm. 

The Bible says in Ezekiel 37:2-6, ² He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. ³ He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I said, “Sovereign Lord, you alone know.” ⁴ Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! ⁵ This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath[a] enter you, and you will come to life. ⁶ I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’”. 

 The God that is in the business of raising dry bones also raises dead hearts.

Des cœurs qui se sentent mourir sur la vigne. Des cœurs froids ou tièdes.

La Bible dit dans Ézéchiel 37:2-6 : « Il me fit passer au milieu d’eux, et je vis une grande quantité d’ossements sur le sol de la vallée, des ossements très secs. Il me demanda : « Fils de l’homme, ces ossements peuvent-ils revivre ? » Je répondis : « Seigneur Éternel, toi seul le sais. » Il me dit alors : « Prophétise sur ces ossements et dis-leur : Ossements desséchés, écoutez la parole du Seigneur ! Voici ce que dit le Seigneur Éternel à ces ossements : Je ferai entrer en vous un souffle de vie, et vous revivrez. Je vous donnerai des tendons, je ferai croître sur vous de la chair, je vous recouvrirai de peau, je mettrai en vous un souffle de vie, et vous revivrez. Alors vous saurez que je suis le Seigneur. » »

 Le Dieu qui ressuscite les ossements desséchés ressuscite aussi les cœurs morts.

感觉像是在葡萄树上枯萎的心，感觉冰冷或温吞的心。

圣经以西结书37:2-6记载：² 他领我在他们中间走来走去，我看见谷底有许多骸骨，极其枯干。³ 他问我：“人子啊，这些骸骨能复活吗？” 我说：“主耶和华啊，只有你知道。”⁴ 他又对我说：“你要向这些骸骨发预言说：‘枯骨啊，要听耶和华的话！⁵ 主耶和华如此说：我必使气息进入你们里面，你们就要活了。⁶ 我必给你们加上筋，使你们长出肉来，又将皮遮盖你们，我必将气息放在你们里面，你们就要活了。你们就知道我是耶和华。’”

 那位能使枯骨复生的神，也能使死人的心复活。

 In fact, God is willing and waiting right now to breathe life into any dying heart that comes to him. If you feel dry, if you feel cold now, hear the word of the Lord today. You will be on fire again. You will live again. 

However, in that living, I also want us to consider something critical this moment because I think it will help us to build a more sustained and consistent walk with God.  It is necessary for us to know how we came to this state.  When I first felt like I needed God's fire, it was a period when I started being too busy and I wasn't keeping up with my consecrations. 

A period where I let myself indulge in things that stole my fire.  We all lose our fire, our hotness, our zeal for the Lord for different reasons. 

You may be losing it for any of the reasons I have stated above. 

You may be losing it because you have not been paying attention as you should. You have not had time for God. 

 It may be due to you taking in things that the Holy Spirit cannot coexist with into you. It may even be due to being in the wrong church. The point is, whatever it is, I believe you must pinpoint it. 

 Sometimes getting that fire back isn't the problem. It's keeping it. Will you be able to keep it this time or will this cycle repeat itself? 

Make it a point to find out why your heart has gone cold. That way growth can be continuous. And above all, check your consecrations and connections. 

Your prayer life, word life, worship, relationships, check them all. But first, this moment,  we celebrate this first victory of you knowing there is the need for a change. 

That there is the need for the Lord to set your heart on fire again. And we press on from there. 

I would like for you to make that cry to the Lord. Now, it's a cry for hearts that need to be on fire again. Hearts that need to come to know the Lord Jesus Christ again and know what loving him is like. 

Hearts that need to be renewed. 

 If you are ready to say that prayer this moment, then let's pray together. ( Scroll up ) 

En réalité, Dieu est prêt et attend dès maintenant pour insuffler la vie à tout cœur mourant qui s'approche de lui. Si vous vous sentez aride, si vous avez froid en ce moment, écoutez la parole du Seigneur aujourd'hui. Votre flamme s'allumera à nouveau. Vous revivrez.

Cependant, dans cette renaissance, j'aimerais aussi que nous considérions un point crucial en ce moment, car je pense qu'il nous aidera à bâtir une relation plus soutenue et plus constante avec Dieu. Il est nécessaire que nous comprenions comment nous en sommes arrivés là. Lorsque j'ai ressenti pour la première fois le besoin de la flamme de Dieu, c'était une période où j'étais débordé et où je négligeais mes consécrations.

Une période où je me suis laissé aller à des choses qui ont éteint ma flamme. Nous perdons tous notre flamme, notre ardeur, notre zèle pour le Seigneur pour différentes raisons.

Vous la perdez peut-être pour l'une des raisons que j'ai mentionnées plus haut.

Vous la perdez peut-être parce que vous n'avez pas été assez attentif. Vous n'avez pas pris le temps pour Dieu.

 Cela peut être dû au fait que vous intégrez en vous des choses avec lesquelles le Saint-Esprit ne peut coexister. Cela peut même être dû au fait que vous fréquentez la mauvaise église. L'important, c'est que, quoi qu'il en soit, je crois qu'il est essentiel d'en identifier la cause.

Parfois, le problème n'est pas de raviver la flamme, mais de la maintenir. Serez-vous capable de la garder cette fois-ci ou ce cycle se répétera-t-il ?

Efforcez-vous de découvrir pourquoi votre cœur s'est refroidi. Ainsi, la croissance spirituelle pourra être continue. Et surtout, examinez vos consécrations et vos relations.

Votre vie de prière, votre étude de la Parole, votre adoration, vos relations, examinez tout. Mais d'abord, en ce moment, célébrons cette première victoire : vous avez compris la nécessité d'un changement.

Vous avez besoin que le Seigneur embrase à nouveau votre cœur. Et nous poursuivons notre chemin à partir de là.

Je vous invite à adresser cet appel au Seigneur. Un appel pour les cœurs qui ont besoin de retrouver la flamme. Des cœurs qui ont besoin de redécouvrir le Seigneur Jésus-Christ et de savoir ce que signifie l'aimer.

Des cœurs qui ont besoin d'être renouvelés.

Si vous êtes prêt·e à faire cette prière maintenant, prions ensemble. (Faites défiler vers le haut)

事实上，上帝此刻正乐意并等待着，将生命的气息吹入任何来到他面前的垂死之心。如果你感到干涸，如果你感到寒冷，今天就聆听主的话语吧。你将再次燃起火焰，你将再次获得新生。

然而，在重获新生的同时，我也想让我们思考一个至关重要的问题，因为我认为这将帮助我们与上帝建立更持久、更稳定的关系。我们必须明白自己是如何走到今天这一步的。当我第一次感到自己需要上帝的火焰时，正值我忙于奔波，疏于灵修之时。

那段时间，我放纵自己，沉溺于那些夺走我生命之火的事物。我们每个人都会因为不同的原因而失去对主的热情、热忱和渴望。

你可能正因为上述任何原因而失去它。

你可能正因为没有像应该的那样专注，没有时间亲近上帝而失去它。 

这可能是因为你吸收了圣灵无法与之共存的事物。甚至可能是因为你身处错误的教会。关键在于，无论是什么，我相信你必须找出原因。

有时，重燃那份热情并非难事，难的是如何保持它。这一次你能保持住吗？还是会重蹈覆辙？

务必找出你内心冷漠的原因。这样，你的成长才能持续不断。最重要的是，检查你的奉献和人际关系。

你的祷告生活、读经生活、敬拜、人际关系，都要检查。但首先，此刻，我们庆祝你意识到需要改变的第一个胜利。

你需要主再次点燃你心中的火焰。我们以此为起点继续前行。

我希望你向主发出呼求。这是为那些需要再次燃起火焰的心灵发出的呼求。 那些需要重新认识主耶稣基督，并体验爱祂之爱的心灵。

那些需要更新的心灵。

如果你此刻准备好做这个祷告，那么让我们一起祷告。（向上滑动）
