Every Little Detail of Your Life Pt.2
EPHESIANS 1:11
11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: (Notice carefully here – He worketh ALL THINGS after the counsel of His own will – everything that He allows to happen in your life is by the counsel of His own will)
PSALM 37:23-24
23 The steps of a good man are ordered (“ordered” = to be set up - to be firmly established) by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
Your steps are the details of the pathway of your life.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
Adam fell, King David fell, Solomon fell, Samson fell, Moses fell, they all fell, because that is just the way that man is, because man was born with a fallen nature inside of him, but God didn’t cast any of these men away, but he held them up with His hand - yet we know that they all suffered for their mistakes, because whatsoever a man sows, that is what he must also reap.
And so when we sin and fail God in this life, then we will pay for our mistakes in this life – but that has nothing to do with our salvation or our eternal position of what God had ordained for us to inherit in the future kingdom.
ISAIAH 41:13
13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
PSALM 139:17-18
17 ¶ How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
ECCLESIASTES 3:1-2
1 ¶ To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die;
God knows the exact time of your birth and the exact time of your death – and He also knows about every event of every passing second of your life between your birthday and your death day.
Every Little Detail of Your Life Pt.2
**God is at all times in full control of every little detail of your life, both of when it would seem to us that everything is going right, and also when we are convinced that everything is going wrong.
*And we know this because when we look back in the bible at the lives of many of the ones who have lived out their lives before us, we can see how that God has worked everything out right in the end, and so we can have confidence that he will also do it for us. Many of them failed, but in all of their failure, it was God’s grace that was revealed to them, and it was His hand that held them.
*It certainly all looked like it was going wrong for Joseph, and it certainly looked like it was all going wrong for Job, but we know that it was actually all going right for them, because all of what seemed wrong actually worked out for their good in the end - because everything in life has to ultimately serves God’s eternal purpose.
EPHESIANS 1:9-11
9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: (The mystery of His will is to bring you to that great position and reality of eternal life and joy of what He thought of you to be before the foundation of the world)
10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: (That is what is going on now – we are being gathered together by the unveiling of God that has taken place in this hour, both on this side and on the other side)
11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: (Notice here again – He worketh ALL THINGS after the counsel of His own will, and “All Things” mean “ALL THINGS”)
ROMANS 8:28
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
**One of the most fascinating things that we have as the evidence of the truth of the scriptures is to do with prophecy – of how God is able to foreknow and foretell the future just the same as He knows the events that have taken place in the past.
And this is actually one of the great questions that has baffled man and philosophers for thousands of years, why can’t we remember the future in the same way that we can remember the past? But God does, and that is why He can tell us of our end from the beginning.
*God was able to reveal to Joseph his end from the beginning.
God also knew about every detail of Brother Branham’s life millions of years before he was even born, and we know this because he had had mountain peaks shaped into the exact pattern of his life - from the beginning of his life right to the very end. And it has been told of our end also, in all the stories of the bible.
We had that quote from Soren Kierkegaard from last week:
“Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forward.”
**It seems to us that we are locked into this one-way flow of time of which we can only learn about the outcome of our lives by looking backwards over our lives – but God knows the full and complete story of our lives of earth from the beginning all the way to the end.
ECCLESIASTES 3:1-2 Opening scripture…
1 ¶ To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die;
JEREMIAH 1:5
5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
***If you are a message believer in this age, then that is only because God had exactly planned for you to be born into this age and arranged the pathway of your life so that you would come into contact with the ministry and message of the seventh angel of Revelation 10:7.
*And the purpose for your meeting the seventh angel was so that that ministry could introduce you to the seventh seal (Christ) himself of Revelation 10:1.
**We know that Rebekah had to be on earth at the same time of Eleazer in order for Eleazer to introduce Rebekah to Isaac and Isaac to Rebekah, because it was Rebekah that lifted her eyes at the evening time and said “who is this man coming towards us” and he said, “it is my master.”
***And so that story in the bible is a prophecy of your life in this hour.
**Remember our little talk from Wednesday night - Hell was opened up in Revelation 9:1 under the Fifth Trumpet which was WW1, and Heaven was opened up in Revelation 10:1 by a mighty angel coming down.
**And so we have the opening of Hell in Revelation 9, and the opening of Heaven in Revelation 10, because when the enemy came in like a flood in Revelation 9, then the Lord came down in Revelation 10 with the revealed word to put it into the hearts of the end time bride as the standard against this flood - because the secret is that the word is in the Bride as it was in Mary.
**The womb is sealed by the seed so that no other seed can enter in. And this is the purpose that God has had you born into this age for.
*That is why we find that Revelation chapter 9 and 10 parallels the book of Ruth, because Revelation 9 is the 5th and 6th trumpet which is WW1 and WW2 which causes the Jews to go back to their homeland which is Ruth and Naomi going back to Bethlehem – it’s the same story.
And Revelation 10:1 is Boaz (which is Christ) coming to His head reaper of Revelation 10:7 (the seventh angel) that will introduce Ruth the gentile bride (Revelation 10:8-11) to Boaz.
**And so Ruth was born and came on the scene at that specific time for that purpose – and this explains the mystery of our lives for this hour.
Because this is why you and I had to be born into this age – because the prophecy of all those scriptures had to have flesh to land into and be lived out through in this age.
**Isaiah 7:14 (a virgin shall conceive) had to have Mary’s flesh to land on because she was the one predestinated to manifest that scripture, and so God had to have Mary born into the exact season of time for that scripture and her life to connect together at exactly the right moment in history.
*And we can even go further than this, because not only did God have you born into this age, but He also had to have you born by the union of specific parents that he had also planned their lives in a certain way, and their parents lives also, all the way back through your entire ancestry in order to give you the right “ting” of the bell. Like how the bell maker mixes just the right amount of metal at the casting foundry in order for the bell to make the right sound.
**And so God had you birth into the world on an exact certain day, and even right down to the very minute of that day, and also at a specific location on earth so that your birth would line up with the timing and the angle of different constellations of the stars of the heavens that God had designed to be in their exact positions in the heavens of which He had arranged for them to be there all the way back from the beginning of time for that very moment of your birth so that they would influence your life – this is what the bible teaches us.
JOB 38:31-33
31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? (these are star constellations)
33 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?
That is why the Magi knew that Jesus was on earth and were He was born on earth – by the stars. Stars are given by God for leadership, because that is what the seven stars were in Christ’s right hand in Revelation chapter 1 – and the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and in this last age, we have been born under that seventh angel star, and that star is influencing our lives and guiding our lives to Bethlehem.
**And then after your birth, then God design for you to be raised within a certain culture and by certain parents that came with different personality traits (both good and bad) that you would also inherit some of those traits from your natural parents both good and bad.
**And so every minute detail of all that you are and ever would be was all preplanned and pre-ordained and orchestrated by the hand of God.

149 His Word is just like a great symphony. How many of you ever heard a symphony? Well, everybody has. Now remember, a symphony is when music is played in a drama. I think I have that right, a symphony. "Peter and the Wolf," you remember that, the old story how they used to... I've heard that, how they take the drums and make the--the little woodpecker pecking, and Peter going out, and the growling of the wolf, and the tooting of the horns; a symphony.
150 Now, if you don't understand a symphony, it's a big bunch of racket to you, if you don't understand it. You've got to understand what it is. It's all done by signs and motions, but it acts out a drama in this symphony. Now, we notice, the only one that understands a symphony is the composer and those who are interesting in knowing it, knows its changes, knows what takes place.
151 The composer knows every move, from the end to the beginning, from the beginning to the end. Did you know that? The one who wrote it up, he composes this, he knows every little junction.
The word “orchestrate” means to carefully plan and organize a series of complex events or situations to achieve a specific goal and outcome.
***And so we can be certain that throughout the journey of our lives, that God had already planned every single event of our life from way back in our ancestry right down to our parents and even to the very minute of our entrance into this world, and then God would watch over every detail of our lives and all the experiences that we would go through in order to form us into the exact vessel that He had had in his great eternal mind for the eternal purpose that He has for your existence.
PSALM 139:16-18
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
17 ¶ How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
The number of God’s precious thoughts about you is more than the number of the sand of the entire world
***God wants us to have confidence that as we go down throughout the journey of our lives, that He is in control of every little detail of our lives, and that He is using each and every event and detail of our lives to shape us and to form us into the exact vessel that He has had in His great eternal thoughts for us to be.
***And so God has designed all of our experiences in life for this very purpose of moulding our character for that great eternal life of where we are to go to after this life is over – and that is why that nothing ever happens to us by chance.

145 …Nothing happens by chance; everything is ordained of God. No matter what happens, all things are going to work together for good.
*They tell us that the universe is around 13.8 billion years old, and in comparison to your lifetime on earth (of say 75 years), if you do the math and proportionately divide your lifetime of 75 years into 13.8 billion years, then 1 second of your life would equal around 5.83 years.
In other words – over all the time of the creation of the universe of 13.8 billion years, God would have had 5 years and 10 months just to think about and plan just one single second of your life, and then another 5 years and 10 months to plan the next single second of your life, and so on.
*And so God has had plenty of time to think about and plan and orchestrate every little detail of your life – But then God is in the eternal realm.
*If we were to expand this scale out, then 1 minute of your life = 350 years. Since the big bang, God would have had that time span of literally 350 years to plan just one minute of your life.
1 Hour = 21,000 years
1 Day = 504,000 years
1 Year = 184 million years
God has had 184 million years to plan just one year of your life – and that’s why, if His eye is one the sparrow, then I know He watches me.
Last week we spoke about the song that was written by Joseph H. Gilmore in 1862 during the American Civil War –
He leadeth me, He leadeth me, by His own hand He leadeth me. His faithful follower I would be, for by his hand he leadeth me.
Sometimes mid scenes of deepest gloom,
sometimes where Eden's flowers bloom,
by waters calm, o'er troubled sea,
still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me.
