Spiritual Amnesia – Our Lost Identity Revealed Pt.3
JEREMIAH 1:4-5
4 ¶ Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
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.
Notice here – before Jeremiah was born, God knew who he was and what his purpose and achievement on earth would be.
And so the one thing that this scripture is making clear to us is that we were all known by God before we came into this world, and that God has a purpose on earth for each of us to achieve.
*And out of all the works that we could do on earth, the greatest work that we could ever achieve is to believe on him whom He has sent.
JEREMIAH 18:11-12
11 ¶ Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return ye now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.
12 And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices (a device is an invention that is designed to assist one to be able to satisfy their desires), and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.
*This is certainly a scripture that is showing us something about this age that we are living in right now, because we are living in a time of where every person has turn to their “own devices” (of their smart phones and computers) in order to give them full access to their desires.
*And so we find ourselves in the same condition today as the inhabitants of Jerusalem were back in Jeremiah’s time – and we notice here that they were confessing of themselves that there was no hope for them.
And we are living in a time right now of where many people are also confessing that same thing with all this AI stuff - that there is no hope for us either. Because just like for Judah back in Jeremiah’s day, the people of this day can’t see any way of getting off this pathway of doom that we are on either.
12 And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.
It’s like they had gone past a point of no return of a line of evil that they had crossed – and this is the same condition that we find ourselves in in the world today.
JEREMIAH 18:15
15 Because my people hath forgotten me (when a people forget God, they also forget their own identity of who they were meant to be), they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up;
Notice – that the result of them forgetting God was that they had ceased from walking along a solidly formed highway, and that they were now stumbling along a muddy and rutted pathway like a man that has lost his memory - a man with amnesia.
Spiritual Amnesia – Our Lost Identity Revealed Pt.3
We want to line up these main four scriptures of what we have been speaking on with this subject over the last few weeks.
DANIEL 12:4
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
*Smart phones and computers have been invented as the result of the advancement of the technological that we have seen developing over the past 30 plus years.
**And we can’t deny the fact that all these devices of our modern times are the devices that have given us the connection and the access to all this increase of knowledge of what is being spoken of here of the prophecy of Danial 12:4.
*These modern devices of this scientific age have become our portals that have enabled us to be able to see into other worlds, and of what has given us access into realms of an almost unlimited supply to the fullness of all the information contained in the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
**This tree of the knowledge of good and evil that was in Eden - we now have access to that same tree again, but in a far greater way that no other age has ever had before this time.
REVELATION 9:1-2a
1 ¶ And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
2a And he opened the bottomless pit;
Notice – Revelation 9 begins with the bottomless pit being opened.
REVELATION 10:1-2a
1 ¶ And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
2 a And he had in his hand a little book open:
Notice carefully here – that Revelation chapter 9 begins with the opening of the bottomless pit – and that opening resulted in the advancement of technology of what we saw in WW1 and WW2.
But then from WW2, that technology would continue to advance to a stage of where man would develop devices that would enable the inhabitants of the earth to achieve unlimited access to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
**But then we see in contrast that Revelation chapter 10 is the opening of the word that unlocked the advancement of the revelation of the word of which resulted in the end time gentile bride being able to gain full access to the tree of life - Christ.
*We remember that Eve had full access to both trees in Eden, and so we have now come full circle in that we now have full access to both of those trees again here at this time in Satan’s Eden.
REVELATION 10:4
4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
*God held back access to the secret of what those seven thunders had uttered until this end time age of when He would release that secret information at the same time of when the world would be caught up into this condition of where knowledge was being increased at an incredible rate.
REVELATION 10:7
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
REVELATION 10:10a
10a And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up;
**Eve didn’t eat an apple in the garden of Eden, and John didn’t eat a book in the garden of Satan’s Eden of this hour – what they both ate was a specific teaching that affected their understanding and faith.
When Eve ingested the teaching of the serpent that was contrary to the thoughts and word of God – it changed the way her thinking thought, and then she lost her faith and fellowship with God.
*But when John (who represented the end time gentile bride of this day) ingested the revelation of what God has sent though the ministry of the seventh angel – then his thinking changed also, and his faith and fellowship with God was restored back again to that of what Adam had had with God back in Eden.
**And so it was the exposure to a specific type of revelation and knowledge that made all the difference, because knowledge is power.
Because when a person loses the knowledge of who they are, then the power of their position is also lost to them like what we saw with king Nebuchadnezzar, and so this is what amnesia is. And so one of the antidotes for amnesia is to get the person to walk along familiar pathways that were once known to them, and that will trigger back their lost memory.
That is why that is takes the revealing of the word to bring our memories back to who we were before we came to this earth.
***And so when the revelation of your lost identity is revealed to you by the opening up of the mysteries of the book that was opened in Revelation 10, then that is a very powerful revelation that is able to unlock your true identity to yourself - it is the thing that is able to restore back your lost memory back to you of what God knew you to be before you were even born into this world - of what He has purposed you to be from the beginning.
We read this quote last week…
THE.FIRST.SEAL_ JEFF.IN MONDAY_ 63-0318
142-1 {166} … but when he started to write those other seven thunders, he said, "Don't write it." He'd been commissioned to write everything he seen. But when these seven thunders over in Revelations 10 uttered, he said, "Don't write them at all." They're mysteries. We don't know what they are yet; but my opinion they'll be revealed right away. And when it do, it'll give faith for that rapturing grace for that Church to move out. We just move through everything that we know of; through all the dispensations we've watched everything. We've seen the mysteries of God. We've seen the appearing of the--of the great gathering together of the Bride in the last days, but yet there's something in there that we just can't lighten ourself with. There's something another. But I imagine when them mysteries begins to come forth... God said, "Hold it back now. Wait a minute. I'll reveal it in that day. Don't write it at all, John, 'cause they'll stagger over it. Just let--let it go. (See?) But I'll reveal it in that day when it has need to done."
**There is a truth that God sends across the pathway of a person’s life that has been designed by God to give a certain type of sound that is able to activate the elected gene that is inside of that person in order to awaken the potentials of what they have in them.
**This voice is a message that God sends across our pathway that contains a certain type of teaching of the truth for this hour that God has designed to awaken us so that we will begin to see and to become convinced of who we really are.
*And so it is by this gene of God that the elect of this age are able to manifest their full attribute of what God intended for them to be for this age.
*Luther came with the gene of God within him to live out and manifest the attribute of the part of the word that he was for his age.
*Wesley came with the gene of God within him to be able to manifest and live out the attribute of the part of the word that he was for his age.
*And so God design each person for their own age and for a certain task just like Jeremiah was designed by God for the age that he was sent to.
JEREMIAH 1:4-5 Opening scripture…
4 ¶ Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
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.
**When we were born into this world from our mother’s womb, as the elected of God we were born with two natures within us at the same time.
*Our first nature we inherited from our natural lineage side of our family line of ancestors, but then the message of the hour teaches us that we also came with another nature of the gene seed of God from our heavenly ancestry of the eternal thoughts of God.
*But our problem was that when we were born, it was our first human ancestry nature that was activated and developed, because our other nature that had been placed there by God from our birth was to lay dormant within us until it was able to be activated by the truth of the message for our day.
*And so this other seed gene from God that was on the inside of us was only able to be quickened and activated by the voice and truth of the seventh angel’s message, and that is when we began to realise that our names were written in the Lamb’s section of the book of life - and from then on we began to consciously live under the mystery of the prophecy of who we are for this hour as we matured in our understanding of who we really were as dictated by the mind of God before we came to this earth.
COMMUNION_ TUCSON.AZ V-8 N-4 SUNDAY_ 65-1212
44 Like in the Book here, and the spot there we was talking about the--the two Books being One, the Book of Life. The first Book of life coming up, was when you were born, that was your natural birth. See? But then one time, way back down in there, there was a little grain of Life as I was explaining to some of the young sisters at the house this afternoon. See, there's a little grain of Life laying there, that you wonder, "Where did It come from? What--what these strange things?"
45 I was saying this, taking for myself, like you was going to say, "William Branham, well, forty years ago, the William Branham, it isn't the same one tonight." If somebody back there would say, "William Branham, he was a rank rascal," see, because I was born of Charles and Ella Branham. In their nature I was a sinner, I came to the world, a liar, and all the habits of the world laid right in me. But down in there, too, was another Nature present, see, predestinated, was in there by God. In this same body, see, two natures in there.
46 Well, I only catered to one. As it growed, I gooed as a baby, "Dad-da." First thing you know, I become a liar, become everything else that's a sinner, because I raised up that way. But down in there was a little speck of Life all the time.
**Last week we spoke about how that it was the scream of the mother eagle’s voice that woke up the gene of what the eaglet was born with – because the eagle scream didn’t turn a chicken into an eagle, the eagle scream only revealed the true gene that was already there in the eaglet.
**This is why we should never try to force somebody to conform to a certain behaviour and then call that the lived voice, because acting something out of trying to live a good life of good morals is not the evidence of that gene, because some people can even fool themselves by being able to live a very good moral life, because some people have the ability to actually attain to that by natural discipline – and so that cannot be it.
**But the real evidence of the elect of this age is those who can recognise the voice of the eagle scream of the truth of the word for this hour.
379-1 A.RESUME.OF.THE.AGES - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.10
But what about the true seed? It will happen just as we have said. The people of God are being made ready by the Word of Truth from the messenger to this age.
139-1 SMYRNAEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.4
Putting these verses together we see that there is only one group of people, and that a very special group of people who are able to hear what the Spirit says in each age. It is one special group that receives the revelation for each age. That group is of God, because the group that cannot hear is not of God. (John 8:42-44.) The group that can and does hear what the Spirit is saying and receives the revelation thereof is that group described in I Corinthians 2:6-16. They are the ones who have the Spirit of God. They are the ones that are born of God. They are baptized into the body of the Lord Jesus Christ by His Spirit. They are baptized with the Holy Ghost.
THE.FUTURE.HOME.OF.THE.HEAVENLY.BRIDEGROOM.AND.THE.EARTHLY.BRIDE_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-5 SUNDAY_ 64-0802
195 …The evidence of the Holy Ghost is when you can receive the Word; not some system, but have a clear understand.
**This is why that perfect faith is when you understand your position in Christ – of what He has made you of your potentials.
Jesus could have perfect faith only because He knew who He was. He knew His picture in the bible from Genesis to Malachi.
And so in this hour, it is the divinely revealed mystery truths from the opened book that is showing us our picture in the book (the bible).
*And so the opening of these Seven Seals that came to us through the message of the hour – it was designed by God to show to us how to prepare for great translation faith by revealing to us our true identity, because it is that revelation (of who we are) that is going to release a faith upon us that will cause us to be changed from mortal to immortal at the last trump.
**Jesus turned on the Light by making Himself known in the scripture. That is how He turned on the Light.
Because they all thought he was Joseph and Mary’s son. But when He started to take the scriptures and prove that He was the manifestation of those scriptures, then the light for that day was turned on because the word manifested is the light for the age.
**And so those who are fulfilling the word for this hour are those who have the nature of God within them in gene form from birth, because without this gene from God, it would be impossible for you to fulfil the promises of the scriptures for your age, because the bride is a part of the bridegroom in that she is the other half of the Chinese laundry ticket. Because Ruth was the other half of the story of Boaz.
**And so the end time gentile bride of this hour is life of His life, spirit of His spirit, and word of His word.
Because God put the gene in you that would cause you to respond to the message of your day and then designed your life’s pathway coordinates to come into contact with that message.
*This is why that the bride of this hour is able to express the eternal attribute of God for her season, because she is under the same power of the prophecy relating to her just as the promised word of the Old Testament was expressed and fulfilled in Christ in the season of His earthy journey.
We read this quote last week…
THE.THIRD.SEAL_ JEFF.IN WEDNESDAY_ 63-0320
253-2 {182} …The--the Bride hasn't had a revival yet. See? There's been no revival there, no manifestation of God to stir the Bride yet. See? We're looking for it. It will take those seven unknown thunders back there to wake her up again. He will send it. He promised it.
*** “Wake up” means that you are able to see the mystery of your life written in the bible - of how that you were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world.
William Branham came to see his part and name written in the bible – and we are also to see out part of how that we have been associated with his ministry in this hour, and are in fact now the continuation of the prophecy of these scriptures being unfolded along the journey of our own lives.
**Rebekah meets Eliezer at the well – but then the story goes on from Eliezer’s work and service to the marriage between Isaac and Rebekah.
**Ruth meets the head reaper at harvest time – but then the story doesn’t end with the head reapers work and service in Ruth chapter 2 – the story continues on with Ruth and Boaz in chapter 3 and 4.
**Esther grows up with Mordecai – but then her story continues on unto the full redemption of her people.
EPHESIANS 1:3-4
3 ¶ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
**In this hour, we are to become conscious of the scriptures that are written of us in the bible of what God had written in mystery form of what He had always thought of us to be in His eternal thinking – and so this is the secret that God is trying to get us all to see in this hour, of the mystery of our true identity of who we really are and of how that we were always a part of God.
*And that is why that we have come into a season at this time of where there is a Man here right now who can turn on the light – to shine the light upon the revelation of your true identity.
*And so just as brother Branham had to fulfil all the scriptures that were prophesied of him, we are also doing the same thing of fulfilling the word in our own lives of the continuation of all those prophecies that were associated with his ministry – and this is where we left off last week...
REVELATION 10:4
4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
REVELATION 10:7
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
REVELATION 10:10a
10a And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up;
**And so we know for sure that this is the time of when this great book that was sealed up would be opened, and all those names that were sealed up in mystery form in that book would be revealed and made known to each of us in this hour – and this is what the third pull ministry was all about. It was sent by God to reveal to you your lost identity of who you really are.
**And so this is what we are striving for in this hour - is to see the true origin of ourselves. And this is to become a personal revelation for each of us in this hour, and that is what the third pull ministry of the message is designed by God to do for us.
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…
