Recognising the Supernatural Part of Your Life Pt.2
II CORINTHIANS 4:3
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: (But if it is revealed, it is revealed to them that are saved)
ISAIAH 53:1
1 ¶ Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? (The Revelation of the word is revealed to those who believe the report of the message)
JOHN 16:12-13
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. (Showing you things to come requires a prophetic ministry and a prophetic anointing on an elected people to receive that ministry, and that is exactly the ministry and anointing that we as the bride of Christ are under in this age)
Recognising the Supernatural Part of Your Life
This subject of “Recognising the Supernatural Part of Your Life” we want to look at in conjunction with the message – “God hiding Himself in Simplicity then revealing Himself in the same”, as we began last week.
**This message “God hiding Himself in Simplicity then revealing Himself in the same” was preached by Brother Branham at the beginning of the opening of the seven seals in March 1963, and it was in this message that he actually gives us the key to be able to understand something about what was coming up in the messages of the opening of the seven seals that we would have otherwise failed to understand.
The opening of the seven seals was by far the greatest and most supernatural event of this end time age.

525-3 {3} I'd like to add this, that of all the services I've ever had in my life, I believe this week has been the most glorious time of all my life in services. No matter what I have... I've seen great miracles performed, of course, before in healing services, but this is beyond that.
*It was beyond the 1st and 2nd pull because with the secong pull it revealed the mytery of the person's natural life of who they were and where they lived, and it would help lift their faith when that was revealed, but the third pull would reveal your life in the mytery of the entire bible, and that would lift your faith for a rapture.
GOD.HIDING.HIMSELF.IN.SIMPLICITY.THEN.REVEALING.HIMSELF.IN.THE.SAME_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0317M
17-5 {94} Now, I--I never dawned upon me to something till long late wee hours last night in prayer; I begin to see something. So I--I trust this will be a great time, which I believe it will if the Lord will help us. Now, now, when I said "great time"... Now, I'm going to speak on something about that this morning.
You know what man calls great sometimes is not great, but what God calls great, man calls foolish; and what God calls foolish, man calls great. So let's bear that in mind. Weigh every word.
***This was a very important message that was placed strategically by God at the beginning of the seven seals, because if we don’t understand how God deals in what looks like a simplistic way, then we will miss the greatness of what took place in the seven seals and also miss the great things that God is doing and has done in our own lives because we will miss seeing God in the way of what he calls great and not what we call great.
***If God ever reveals His word to you of the truth of this hour, then that is the greatest thing of what He calls great, but for us (in our minds), we may not think it all that great of what we should think.
170-1 PERGAMEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.5
I wonder if we are sufficiently impressed with the Word in our midst.
GOD.HIDING.HIMSELF.IN.SIMPLICITY.THEN.REVEALING.HIMSELF.IN.THE.SAME_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0317M
25-5 {147} … The very promise of the last days, the very evening Lights that was to shine, we are privileged people to see that. And where the high-polished world, it's hid from them...
Jesus said to God the Father; He said, "It pleased You to hide it from them.
**So God has not performed to the traits of what the crowd would call great in this age, and this is how he hides himself from the crowds and reveals himself to his elect that have ears to hear and eyes to see.
**And so this is what was dawning on Brother Branham that inspired him to preach “God hiding Himself in Simplicity then revealing Himself in the Same”. ***And so if we are to understand how the great things of what God calls great are being accomplished in our lives, then it is very important for us to see that we have also come into this by the humility and the simplicity of the leadership of God in our lives.
**This same supernatural God has brought you into the knowledge of the truth of this hour by such a humble way of leadership in your life that you have hardly been able to detect it, and so because of this we don’t appreciate like we should appreciate of how great and supernatural these events have been in our lives.
***Remember that the message of the hour came to reveal who you really are to yourself – no other age has had that revealed to them, no other age has known who they were at the time of their age, and yet this knowing is what actually produces rapturing faith in this age; it is when you see who you really are by the opening of the word that gives you confidence in your position in Christ for this age.
***The mystery of your life on earth was sealed up in those seven seals waiting to be revealed to you in these last days.
THE.FIRST.SEAL_ JEFF.IN MONDAY_ 63-0318
Oh, it's a great plan until it comes to that last angel. Now, he has no certain mystery, but he gathers up all that's been lost in them other ages, all the truths that wasn't truly revealed yet (See?), as the revelation come. Then he reveals those things in his day. If you want to read it, there it is: A Revelations 10:1 to--1 to about 4. You'll get it. All right. See?
127-3 {68} Takes the Book and... of Seals and breaks them and shows the seventh angel, for this alone, the mysteries of God, is the ministry of the seventh angel. (Look what he is saying here - The ministry of the seventh angel alone is to reveal the mysteries of God that were sealed in the bible by seven seals. His first and second pull ministry of healing was only to attract the attention of the fish for the real purpose of catching the rainbow trout (the elected bride) by the third pull of his ministry. The third pull was the revealing of the mysteries of the bible in order to reveal the names of the elect hidden beneath those mysteries)
… And at the end of the Pentecostal age we are supposed to receive, according to the Word, as God help me tonight to show you through here, that we are to see--receive a messenger that will take all those loose ends out there and reveal the whole secret of God for the rapturing of the Church.
128-2 {75} And then there's coming forth seven mysterious thunders that's not even written at all. That's right. And I believe that through those seven thunders will be revealed in the last days in order to get the Bride together for rapturing faith; because what we got right now, we--we wouldn't be able to do it (what did we have right then up to that stage? – we had the complete written bible with all the hundreds of bible commentaries written by the greatest minds of the wisdom of man from the man age that would take you 2 or 3 lifetimes to read them all, but all of that put together couldn’t produce rapturing faith for the going away of the church, nor could the first or second pull ministry of the prophet). There's something we've got to step farther; we--we can't have enough faith for Divine healing hardly (under the first and second pull, people still struggled to receive divine healing for their bodies let alone a complete body change). We've got to have enough faith to be changed in a moment and be swept up out of this earth, and we'll find that after a while, the Lord willing, find where it's written.
*We will find were it is written of us in Genesis 18 with Abraham and Sarah’s visitation and body change and the judgment of Sodom in Genesis 19.
*We will find were it is written of our lives in Genesis 24 of Rebekah at the well of water at evening time responding to the Eleazar call, and then following him on a journey to meet her unseen bridegroom.
*We will find were it is written of us in the book of Esther of the choosing of a bride and the destruction of Haman and the resurrection of her people and the promotion of Mordechai.
****All these mysteries of the bible that have been opened to us by the message of this hour is actually the mystery of your life that was sealed up in the word and has laid there since the foundation of the world in order to be revealed to you personally in this day. And so it is only these revealed mysteries of the bible that can reveal yourself to you of who you really are in this day, and that is what gives you rapturing faith.
“We've got to have enough faith to be changed in a moment and be swept up out of this earth, and we'll find that after a while, the Lord willing, find where it's written.”
**So it is the revealing of yourself to yourself by the mystery of the word being revealed that brings you to an awareness of who you really are and your position in the word for this day.
***So it is the opening of the hidden truths of the bible that shows you how that the mystery of your life exactly matches those mysteries revealed in the word.
**The mystery of Rebekah at evening time matches the story of your life in this hour. The mystery of Rahab’s token that came by her receiving the message of the hour matches the story of your life in this hour also, and the choosing of a bride in Esther matches your life, and the mystery of Deborah the forth judge who was under a prophetic eagle anointing and who sat under the palm tree (a type of the Tree of Life restored back again in this hour) matches your life, it reveals the hidden secret of the mystery of your life, on and on we could go – all these mysteries revealed in this hour have been opened to reveal that your life is the matching half of all these mysteries of the bible now revealed.
CHRIST.IS.THE.MYSTERY.OF.GOD.REVEALED_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-7 SUNDAY_ 63-0728
240 The new Birth is Christ, is the revelation. God has revealed to you this great mystery, and that's a new Birth. Now what are you going to do when you get all that group together, where the revelation is perfectly in harmony, and God expressing it through His Word by the same actions, the same things that He did, making the Word manifest! Oh, if the Church only knew its position! It will, one day. Then, the Rapture will go when it knows what it is.
***And so the same one that opened all of these mysteries of the entire bible at the opening of the seven seal is the same one that has to come around the second time under a second ride of a third pull ministry to now open up the mystery of your misunderstood life to you by these same mysteries.
*Remember in our study of Queen Esther, that it was at the second banquet of wine that it was revealed of who she really was, and then what followed that revealing was the destruction of Haman and the resurrection of her people.
**The opening of the seven seals was the mind of Christ connecting to the body – it was the revealing of the names of the elect of each age that were sealed in the bible under those mysteries.
*You cannot have a rapture unless those names are revealed, because this is not the general resurrection at the end of the millennium, this is a called out from among the dead resurrection, the “out resurrection” from among the dead like Lazarus’s name was called out from among all of the other dead people of who were in the graves surrounding him.
**But to have a “called out from among the dead resurrection” you have to first reveal the names of the redeemed sealed in the book of life under these mysteries, and that is why the opening of the seven seals was so important and was such a great event in this day.
**So rapturing faith comes by seeing the mystery of your life reveal in the opening up of these seven seals that were opened in 1963.
***So this message “God in Simplicity” actually applies to your own life in that we mostly go throughout our lives and fail to see the hand of God in the simple everyday events of our lives of how God is directing us in order to open the revelation of Himself to us and to show us our position in the word of this day. *And so this is the supernatural part of your life that God calls great, but yet this is the part that we fail to notice as great because it seems to us to simple for it to be God - and yet this is where God has been hiding himself in our lives all along.
Opening scripture:
JOHN 16:12-13
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth (This is the supernatural part of your life that has been happening throughout your entire lifetime from a little child – God has been watching over you and guiding you to this point of the truth that you have come to understand of the revealing of Himself to you today): for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. (Showing you things to come requires a prophetic ministry – and that’s the ministry that we are under in this age of the eagle anointing. *So the messenger of this age was sent not because of himself, but because of you being here in this age as an elect of God so that you could receive that messenger and his message)
MALACHI 4:5
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
***The truth of the message of this age revealed to you during your lifetime is the greatest supernatural part of what has been taking place all along in your life, but we fail to put the value on this because we are looking at it from the wrong angle of what a human looks at as great.
This word “Supernatural” according to the dictionary means: a manifestation or event attributed to some force beyond scientific understanding or the laws of nature.
When we all get to the other side, the supernatural will be the natural.
**So the supernatural part in your life can go unnoticed to you if you do not understand this message “God hiding Himself in Simplicity then revealing Himself in the same”, because the greatest supernatural thing that you will ever encounter in your life is God revealing his word to you; not speaking in tongues, or having a spiritual dream, or seeing some great miracle of healing, but the greatest thing is the revealing of the word of this hour to you.
****And that is why the third pull of the revealing of the word was far greater than the revealing of the secrets of the hearts of the second pull, but to the general public, it looked like a far less of a show and an attraction to the people.

20-3 {113} It is strange to think how that God does such a thing as that. God will hide Himself in something so simple that'll cause the wise to miss it a million miles and then turn right back around in that, some simple thing in the simplicity of His way of working and reveal Hisself right out again.
MATTHEW 11:25-26
25 ¶ At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
GOD.HIDING.HIMSELF.IN.SIMPLICITY.THEN.REVEALING.HIMSELF.IN.THE.SAME_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0317M
29-2 {167} …Oh, my, what a God He is, unfolding Himself in simplicity.
GOD.HIDING.HIMSELF.IN.SIMPLICITY.THEN.REVEALING.HIMSELF.IN.THE.SAME_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0317M
45-6 {296} Now, God was hiding Himself in the simplicity of a baby, hiding Himself in the simplicity of a--a common family, God. And the ecclesiastics and the great men, the mind, the genius, and the--and the--all of them, the Herods and so forth of that day, and the Neros, and they all overlooked it: God hiding in simplicity.
The word “Simplicity”, we know that brother Branham is not meaning that the word of the hour is simple, but that God brings you into a knowledge of the truth of the revelation of the hour in a way that it just looks like common simple everyday life of every day events of natural life – in other words, God hides the greatest supernatural events of your life in amongst what appears to be the most simple and natural events of your life – but that is where he hides himself and reveals Himself in the same.
Think of how you first came into contact with the message of the hour – for most of us it just seemed like it was like a luck thing, but it is totally impossible for this to be a luck thing – this is the supernatural at work at the highest level in your life, but at the time it just seem so simple that we failed to notice the supernatural path that God was leading us on.
“The word of this hour that has been revealed to you during your lifetime is the supernatural part, but we miss giving this the value that it deserves.
THE.SECOND.SEAL_ JEFF.IN TUESDAY_ 63-0319
180-1 {21} Now, last evening as we always like in teaching on the--on the Seals, we have--teach it the same way you do on the--on the--the church ages. And... When we got finished with teaching the church age, the last time when I drawed them out here on the--on the pulpit on a board, how many remembers what took place? He came right down, went right back there on the wall in a Light and drawed it off Himself, right there on the wall before us all. The Angel of the Lord stood right here before several hundred people. And now, He's--He's doing something real supernatural now too. And so we're just expecting great things. We don't know... Do you like to just wait for that--that great anticipation, just don't know what's going to happen next, you know, just--just waiting?
QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS.ON.THE.SEALS_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0324M
468-1 {76} Now, but, you see, you can't say those things; best to just leave it alone. And you remember the third pull; it said, "Don't tell nobody." What did I say was that... How many remembers that? Oh, sure. Remember standing there trying to lace that eyelet in that little shoe in the vision? He said, "You can't teach Pentecostal babies supernatural things." (Notice here that supernatural things is to do with the revealing of the word, in other words, you can’t teach Pentecostal babies the things of the opening of the word for this age because only the elect have the capacity to see these things of the word teaching of this age)
And I said this will be the third pull and it will not be known, so help me, by the grace of God. Now, now, we're--we're right down at the end time now. Won't be too long until mercy seat will be judgment seat.
THE.SEVENTH.SEAL_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0324E
530-2 {35} May I just pass this to you. When the supernatural comes in, that's the mind of Christ. You become so far away from your own thinking till in your own mind... I... This... you... I... Don't--don't let me try to explain that, because I can't. See? I couldn't do it. There's nobody could do it.
***The same God that opened the word of this hour to his Prophet is the same God that has to reveal it to you as you listen to the voice of seventh angel.
THE.SEVENTH.SEAL_ JEFF.IN MONDAY_ 63-0324E
577-2 {401} And now, we are grateful to God for what He has showed us. I've been setting in the room up there for eight days, and the message that I have just got through explaining to you, many of you here will understand, and I promise that there was something going on, spiritual, all the time, that I was sure you were missing it, and here's what it is: It's the absolute a-vindication of this interpretation of the Scriptures being sent of God, because before we even went into it, and I left to go west, the Lord showed me a vision one day about ten o'clock one morning, and I come and explained it here that I had seen it, didn't know what it was; it was a constellation of seven Angels. We'll remember that. You'll get it on the tape, called, "What Time Is It, Sir?" Well now, that is exactly what you're seeing now.
