Boldness to Enter In
HEBREWS 10:19-20
19 ¶ Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us (dedicated for us), through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
In the Old Testament the high priest would go into the Holiest of Holies once a year for the sins of the people, and he would enter that place with a timid attitude because he was afraid of being struck dead if something wasn’t just perfect concerning the law.
But by this new and living way through Christ we can enter with boldness into that place where God dwells, and we can have access to the word, and we can eat the bread that never gets old, and we can have fellowship with God. All these things are available to us in this hour.
JOSHUA 1:1-3
1 ¶ Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,
2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.
3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
Boldness to Enter In
Two parts to redemption – coming out of - and going into.
**Moses was the prophet of that first exodus of a nation out of a nation just like we have had a 3rd exodus prophet call us out of the denominations.
But the problem in the first exodus was that not all that came out went in. So from that we know that it is not enough just to come out of denomination by an Exodus prophet if we then fail to go into the Promised Land for this hour which it the new birth.
THE.THIRD.EXODUS_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-21 SUNDAY_ 63-0630M
262 What did He do, the first exodus? He sent a prophet, anointed with a Pillar of Fire, and He called the people out. That was His first exodus….
265 The second exodus, He brought a Prophet, anointed, which was His Son, God-Prophet. Moses said He would be a Prophet; and had the Pillar of Fire, and done signs and wonders. And that same Prophet said, that, "Whosoever believeth in Me, the works that I do shall he do also."
266 And here He promised the same thing in the exodus in the last days, and He cannot change it.
So these three Exoduses all pattern the same way, because not all that came out with Moses went in with Joshua after Moses went off the scene, and not all that came out under John the Baptists ministry went in with the ministry of Christ after the death of John the Baptist – and so we know by this pattern that not all that have been called out of denominations by Malachi 4’s message will go into Christ in this hour – not because they are not able too, but because of their failing to believe the full word of this hour. They will believe enough to get them out of Egypt, but they just can’t believe all the way to the going in.
148-1 SMYRNAEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.4
… Now those children of Israel left Egypt about two million strong. They all journeyed together, all saw the same miracles of God, all partook of the same manna and water from the smitten rock, all followed the same cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night but ONLY TWO reached the Promised Land. ONLY TWO WERE TRUE OR REAL BELIEVERS. That is correct because the Word tells us that the rest died because of unbelief; and because of unbelief they could not enter in (Hebrews 3:19). Then since that is so, and only TWO ENTERED, then the rest were not true believers. What made the difference? Two stayed with the Word. When the hearts of the ten spies failed at Kadesh Barnea, Joshua and Caleb did not stagger for they believed the Word and said, "We are more than able to take the land." They knew they could because God had said, "I have given you the land." After all those Israelites saw of the power and goodness and deliverance of God they did not enter into rest, which is a type of the Holy Ghost. So you can see right now that very few will ever believe all the way to receiving the Spirit of God.
Over the last couple of weeks we have shown how that the bible reveals to us that Eve was faced with two ways to conceive, that was at the beginning of the bible, and then at the middle of the Bible we saw how two woman (Mary and Elizabeth), that what was different about them was also in the way that they conceived – Elizabeth conceived by sensation with a mixture of unbelief, but Mary conceived without sensation and with a complete faith in the angels message – “Let it be unto me according to thy word”. Then we read the quote:
172-2 PERGAMEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.5
Notice the harmony of the Father and the Son. Jesus never did anything until it was first showed Him by the Father. John 5:19. This harmony is now to exist between the Groom and His bride. He shows her His Word of life. She receives it. She never doubts it (Notice - Joshua and Caleb never doubted Moses message, that is why they went in and the other didn’t). Therefore, nothing can harm her, not even death. For if the seed be planted, the water will raise it up again. Here is the secret of this. The Word is in the bride (as it was in Mary). And we know that that seed that was deposited in Mary was not associated with a carnal sensation showing us that the true baptism of the new birth that comes to us in this hour does not come by a sensation but by the revelation of the word of this hour to the soul by faith without sensation – remember that there is only faith or doubt in the soul, there is no emotional faculty in the soul realm like there is in the spirit realm.
Brother Branham told us that one of the mysteries of this end time age was the Baptism of the Holy Ghost without sensation.
IS.THIS.THE.SIGN.OF.THE.END.SIR_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-11 SUNDAY_ 62-1230E
31-2 ... May I say this with reverence, and not referring to myself, but referring to the Angel of God.
The serpent's seed, that's been a hidden mystery all through the years.
The grace straightened out, not disgrace, but real true grace.
No such a thing as an eternal burning hell. You'll burn for millions of years, but anything that was eternal had never beginning or end, and hell was created. All these mysteries.
The mystery of the baptism of the Holy Ghost without sensation, but the Person of Christ performing in you the same works that He did.

68 …So there is the genuine evidence of the Holy Ghost! He has never told me anything wrong yet. That, "It is the evidence of the Holy Ghost, is he who can believe the Word." You can receive It.
THE.FUTURE.HOME.OF.THE.HEAVENLY.BRIDEGROOM.AND.THE.EARTHLY.BRIDE_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-5 SUNDAY_ 64-0802
195 Now, that's what we was talking the other day, the evidence of the Holy Ghost. See? The evidence of the Holy Ghost is when you can receive the Word; not some system, but have a clear understand.
WHO.DO.YOU.SAY.THIS.IS_ PHOENIX.AZ V-6 N-9 SUNDAY_ 64-1227
218 Is there any here that hasn't received the baptism of the Spirit, yet? Now you say, "Brother Branham, I tell you, I shouted one time." That's very good. "I spoke in tongues once." That's very good, too. But still that ain't what I'm talking about. How can you shout and speak in tongues and deny the Word? The evidence of the Holy Ghost is believing His Word. Always been every age if you can receive the Word. Those priests had Jesus beat a million miles when it come to fruits of the Spirit: gentle, and peaceful, and meek, lowly. He tore up churches, kicked them over; and tore the people out, and called them "snakes in the grass" and everything. See? But He was that Word. He was that Word. That's it: believe God. God is the Word. Believe It.
So Mary represents the church of this end time hour that can receive all the word.
Elizabeth represented the church coming out of the Old Testament because she had the prophet of Malachi 3 just like we have the prophet of Malachi 4.
But Mary represented the church going in because she gave birthed to the fullness of the word by believing the full word.
**Joshua of the Old Testament is the Ephesians of the New.
A.PARADOX_ PHOENIX.AZ V-19 N-1 SUNDAY_ 65-0117
57 Joshua here is a Book, actually, it's a Book of redemption, of the Old Testament. Joshua, we would have to consider it to be that, the Book of redemption. Because, it's, redemption has two parts. Redemption, anywhere, has two parts. That is, it's "out of" and "into." It takes two parts to make redemption, "out of," "into."
58 Moses represented the law which brought them out of Egypt, and, whereas, Joshua represented grace that took them into the Promised Land.
That is why when the message of this day first came out by our exodus prophet, many thought that it was just a bunch of laws of how long to wear your dress, and that you mustn’t wear high heal shoes, and don’t put on makeup and paint your face with red lipstick and green eye liner, and don’t have TV in your home, and all these rules, and to many people being in the message was just about keeping these rules – the law – but during that stage there was very little revelation of the word in their hearts.
JOSHUA 1:1-3
1 ¶ Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,
2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.
Notice that Moses was the prophet that brought them out of the bondage of Egypt, but while Moses was alive they never went in, they just mostly tramped around in the wilderness for 40 years – but it was after Moses had died that they went into the promised land, but now under a continuation of the same ministry of the Holy Spirit through the ministry of Joshua who is a type of the Holy Spirit in the 5 fold ministry of this hour.
***That is why there are still two groups in the message today (Like Elizabeth and Mary) – one group is contented in just following Malachi 4 around in the wilderness, and the other group believes Malachi 4’s message but realises that it is time to go into what he promised, and that it is not just about coming out but it is also about going in.
After the death of Moses it was then time to go in, and so we know that after the death of William Branham it is also time for us to go in to the fullness of the word.
3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, (from the serpent seed all the way down to the opening of the seven seals and the future home of the heavenly bridegroom and the earthly bride – all the boarders of our promised land have been told to us in this hour) all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
This word courage is also the word boldness
Boldness (Greek word) parrhesia {par-rhay-see'-ah}
2) free and fearless confidence, cheerful courage, boldness, assurance
Opening scripture:
HEBREWS 10:19
19 ¶ Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
This scripture is dealing with going into what is promised for this hour, and brother Branham used this scripture of HEBREWS 10:19 as his text in all these sermons:

LAW.OR.GRACE_ JEFF.IN V-26 N-7 WEDNESDAY_ 54-1006
131 …..
Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
By a new and living way,... (not the old law)... when he has reconciled for the... through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
And having an high priest over the house of God;
Let us draw nigh with a true heart and with full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from... evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that has promised.)
133 That just takes it all out. Oh, my. I like this, but I guess we have to close. But when we walk up before God, let's not go, saying, "Well now, I just wonder if everything's all right. I--I..." Are you a Christian? "Well, I--I hope I am." That's no way to come.
Brother, believe the story. Accept it and be born again. Then walk up with pure faith, knowing this, that God has promised and God can't lie. "God promised me Eternal Life if I believed on His Son, Jesus Christ. I believed it; and He give me Eternal Life."
135 I made many mistakes, still make them, will always make them. But when I make them, the Holy Spirit tells me that's wrong. Then I repent right there, "Lord, forgive me. Didn't mean to do it. You help me now." And I walk right on, the same thing. 'Cause, just no sooner than it goes from my lips, "If we confess our sins, He's just to forgive them." Is that right? Hallelujah.
The devil say, "You know what? I'll tell you. You was supposed to go do a certain thing. You didn't do it. Uh-huh, you sinned, didn't you?"
I say, "I confessed it."
"Well, I tell you..."
"No, don't talk to me. No, sir. I have perfect faith in He Who told me. If I confess my wrongs, He'd forgive me. So I confessed it. Just go on away from me. I don't care nothing about you anyhow, so just keep moving on."
Walk boldly right on into it. If death lays there, that's all right; move right on into it with a perfect faith that God has promised that He'd raise you up at the last days. Yes, sir.
WHY.ARE.PEOPLE.SO.TOSSED.ABOUT_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-14 SUNDAY_ 56-0101
10-1 I was saying somewhere, maybe here a few nights ago, I wanted to preach so bad, I preached to my wife in bed till twelve o'clock, just telling her of how glorious Jesus was. A text come in my heart. It kept burning me so great till I just couldn't rest with it. And I just said, "Honey, I want to preach to you a little while." And she roused up; by grace she listened.
I said, "The Christian faith is based solidly upon rest. That's right. A Christian is not tossed about. A Christian doesn't run from place to place. A Christian doesn't fuss, and fume, and worry about things. A Christian rests. It's all over. It's all finished for the believer at Calvary. That's right. Oh, sickness may come and disappointments; but the Christian's at rest knowing this, that God's able to keep that which He has performed, knowing that no matter what the thing is, or how it looks, there's neither sickness, sorrow, death; there's neither starvation or anything that can separate us from the love of God that's in Jesus Christ. We're at rest. Just let the old ship toss any way she wants to; the anchor holds.
***Our Promised Land is to be able to rest by revelation in every word promised of God for this hour. When God reveals his word to your heart, then that’s what brings you into that rest.
***Our promised land is the revelation of this hour.
And so now is the time that we are to be of good courage, and we are to be strong and courageous, and we are to enter into this land of the fullness of the word with boldness, because this is what God has called us to in this hour.
**Boldness is not pride; boldness is a free and fearless confidence, a cheerful courage and assurance.
JOSHUA 1:9
9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
