Recognising the Supernatural Part of Your Life
II CORINTHIANS 4:3-7
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. (The god of this world is Satan, and instead of opening the blinded eyes like what Jesus does, he blinds his subjects so they cannot understanding the gospel)
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness (Genesis 1:3), hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. (The light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ – that’s the revealing of the son of man to you and I personally by the light of the word. Like in the beginning in Genesis 1:3, “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” - that coming of the light was showing the seventh seal of the coming of the Lord in type)
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
ISAIAH 53:1
1 ¶ Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? (The arm of the Lord, or we could say “the power of revelation” is made known to those of this age who have first believed the report of the seventh angel’s message. Brother Branham read this scripture for the message God hiding Himself in Simplicity then revealing Himself in the Same - 1965)
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 (the spirit of truth is Christ himself who is the word revealed to you – when you receive the truth by the spiritual revealing of the word of this hour into your heart, you are receiving Christ), he will guide you into all truth (this is the only true evidence of the indwelling spirit, is that you will be guided by God into more and more light as your walk with the Lord goes on in the truth of this hour): 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 - Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?)
Recognising the Supernatural Part of Your Life
- Two services left before we go away for the convention in Tasmania – may we be in prayer for the success of those meetings.
*I would like to look at this subject of “Recognising the Supernatural Part of Your Life” in conjunction with the message – “God hiding Himself in Simplicity then revealing Himself in the same”. Lord willing we will take this is two parts.
**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.
THE.SEVENTH.SEAL_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0324E
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 healing because the healing power of the 1st and 2nd pull was to attract the attention of the people for the main event of the revealing of the word by the same prophetic gift. The same one that was revealing the secrets of the hearts to the people in the second pull was now interpreting the word to the people in the third pull.
*It was the revealing of the word that was actually the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ shining into the hearts of the elect of this age in order to produce a rapturing faith for a body change.
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.
*Like if we were to share with someone of how God had opened up a certain truth of his word to us in a greater way, we may bless others, but we probably wouldn’t impress them all that much like that it was some great supernatural event, but then if one day we saw a powerful and mighty angel appear right in front of us, and he spoke just one small verse of scripture to us, then we would really have something very impressive to tell to all who would give ear, and oh how the glory would flow on account of that event. **But the reality is that if you believe the truth of this hour, then that is by far a greater thing in the eyes of God.
170-1 PERGAMEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.5
I wonder if we are sufficiently impressed with the Word in our midst.
**So we know that this event of the opening of the seven seals in 1965 has gone almost completely unnoticed by all except the elect of God.
And yet how could such a great supernatural event of all the ages since the foundation of the world go so unnoticed by the nominal Church?
***It is because of the way that God has hidden it to them by having it done in such a humble way with no pomp or ceremony or Hollywood act attached to it – that is how he has hidden it from them.
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.
**Hollywood attracts the attention of the people in order for Satan to get his message to his group of the world – like last week, the quote we read concerning Russia, Now, keep your eyes on this, Church: the devil is putting out this propaganda. And it's not--it's not Scripture. It's to confuse the mind of the unlearned, the unspiritual people.
So according to the prophet of God of this generation – the news is all being controlled and engineered by the devil to influence the people of the world for an agenda that will be used to justify new laws in order to tighten the belt of control even further. We saw that happen after 9/11, then we have seen this with covid, and now we will begin to see it again with this crisis. It is all heading toward the mark of the beast.
**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 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)
