READING OF THE WILL

WHERE THERE IS A WILL THERE IS A WAY

EPHESIANS 1:4

» 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:

» 5 † Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

» 6 † To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

» 7 † In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

» 8 † Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;

» 9 † Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

» 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:

» 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:

» 12 † That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

» 13 † In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

» 14 † Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

» 15 † ¶ Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,

» 16 † Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;

» 17 † That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

» 18 † The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints.

« 46 † Let me give you a shocking something. See, "Not all that saith unto Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter in; but the one that doeth the will of My Father." His will is His Word.

« 170 † The other is pregnated by the Word of God and will bring forth the Body, the finished Body of Jesus Christ, which is the Bride. The Body of Christ isn't finished yet. How many knows that? A man and woman is one. And Christ is one Body, the Word. The Bride will have to be the rest of that Body. And the two, together, makes the one Body again. Like Adam was at the beginning: man, his wife, are one. Now, She, the true Bride, so sold out to Him, that She use no mind of Her own. His mind, of course, is His will, and His will is His Word.

» 3 † ¶ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

» 4 † To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

» 5 † Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

GENESIS 1:26

» 26 † ¶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

» 27 † So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

» 28 † And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

3)60-0515E ADOPTION.1_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN AD.1 SUNDAY_

« 99 † Let me, before we go any farther, go back, Genesis 1:26. I'll pick it up Wednesday. When God made man... Before He made man, He called Himself "El," E-l, El; E-l-h, "Elah," "Elohim." The word means, in the Hebrew, "the self-existence," all by Himself. Nothing existed before Him. He was all the existence there ever was, self-existence One: "El, Elah, Elohim," means the "all-sufficient, all-powerful, Almighty, self-existence One." Oh.

« 100 † But in Genesis 2, when He made man, He said, "I am Y-a-h-u, J-u-v-u-h, Yahua, Jehovah. What did it mean? "I am the all-existence One Who has created something off of Myself to be a son of Mine, or a temporary, or an amateur little one of Mine." Oh, glory. Why? He gave man... "Jehovah" means that He gave man to be an amateur god. Because He is Father God, and He made a man an amateur god, so He isn't self-existence any more; He exists with His family. Amen. Elah, Elah, Elohim... Now, now He is Jehovah, "Jehovah" meaning the "One Who exists with His family."

4)61-0117 THE.MESSIAH_ SHREVEPORT.LA TUESDAY_

« E-16 † Now, Isaiah 9:6, we just won't read it, but He was to be the everlasting Father, the mighty God. When God made man in Genesis 1:26, it shows (if you're putting that Scripture down, Genesis 1:26), it shows that God made man to be a god to begin with. Man was made to be a god, a lesser god. He was made in the image and likeness of God. He had hands like God; he had feet like God, eyes, ears, and intelligence like God, his whole fiber, because he was a son of God. And the--Jesus referred to him as god.

5)57-0901E HEBREWS.CHAPTER.FOUR_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN HEB SUNDAY_

230 Was God a man? Certainly. "Let us make man in our own image." What was God? A theophany, a body. And there man was made like that and put over the garden. But there was no man to till the soil, in the senses. Then He created man out of the dust of earth, in the animal life, and that man tilled the soil. And the man fell, by transgression. Correctly. And God, the theophany, come down and was made flesh and dwelt among us, to redeem the man.

« 79 † He was God, the Logos, the Word that went out of God. When, He begin to brood upon the earth, and brought forth marine life. When the Spirit of God, the Logos, the Word, which God said, "Let there be," and there went the Logos, which is the Word. And the Word begin to... 'cause all this was in the Logos; the whole Word of God, the whole Bible, for every age. And as the Logos begin to breathe upon the earth, there come marine life; and building up, the bird life, on up to animal life. And finally there come something in the representation, or looked like the thing that was brewing it, brooding over it, God, a man in the very image of God.

80 That man fell, like the seed has to fall. And then God begin to brood over that, after the fall. He brought up a--a Enoch, He brought up a Elijah, He brought up a Moses, He brought up prophet after prophet, trying to restore that image again. And, finally, upon the earth came the genuine image of God Himself again, which was God, the Logos made flesh and dwelt among us.

81 Now that same Logos has a part, He has got a Bride, and the same Logos, this Word that cannot be tampered with, is brooding over the churches today, trying to bring back the Word to Its full manifestation.

ADAM

7)62-1104M BLASPHEMOUS.NAMES_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN V-3 N-21 SUNDAY_

185 Now, they take the Scripture from back, "And God breathed Breath into his nostrils, and he became a living soul." Now, I want to ask you something. If he was a man, what kind of a breath was he breathing before God breathed His Breath of Life into him? See? What kind of breath? He was a breathing, living man. Well, then, if that be so, then every animal is a living soul, 'cause they breathe a human soul, and our soul, and all together. Then Jesus wouldn't have had to die. The animal sacrifice would have been sufficient. See? So, brother, the argument don't stand.

186 But what God did, He breathed the Breath of Eternal Life, amen, then he become a living soul, a soul that can't die. Now watch now. We're going to get into honey, plumb to your elbows. Notice. "Breathed the Breath of Eternal Life into his nostrils, and he became an Eternal soul." Cause, God breathed, not what nature done, but what God did, breathed the Breath of Life into his nostrils, and he become a living soul.

Then you say to me, "Adam died, Brother Branham."

« 187 † But remember, before Adam died, he had a lamb that redeemed him. Hallelujah! "Those who He foreknew, He has called." He got a lamb to redeem them. He was a type. Adam fell. Then the lamb was provided for Adam, because already in his nostrils had become the Breath of the Eternal God, and he become a living soul. He was a son of God.

8)61-0611 REVELATION.CHAPTER.FIVE.1_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN ROJC 717-746 SUNDAY_

But he's forfeit the... and Adam forfeit the title deed to it, to this, all this stuff that we own, Eternal Life and the inheriting of the earth.

9)61-0618 REVELATION.CHAPTER.FIVE.2_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN ROJC 747-793 SUNDAY_

« 161 † Now, our Kinsman is handed the seven-sealed Book of redemption from the original Owner. The original Owner... When we lost it at the garden of Eden, through Adam, it went back to the original Owner. But there's been a poacher on the land, a squatter, and that's Satan; he come over, he's a poacher. This earth don't belong to him; belongs to God. But he's a poacher, a squatter. Man, how I could say something right now, but I better not. Is the title deed of our redemption, this seven-sealed Book. It's the title deed. You wait till we get into those Seals!

« 140 † But one day He rose from There, come forth. Where was the Book at? It was still in the abstract Owner, God Almighty. And John looked around, and he wept, because there was no man even worthy to look on the Book and, especially, open the Seals, to reveal what the hidden mystery was.

141 The mysteries was in the Seven Seals. When these Seven Seals was opened, that opened up the entire Bible. The Seven Seals; It was sealed with Seven Mysteries, and in these Seven Seals held the entire mystery of It. And it was the Book of Redemption, New Testament.

142 Not the Old. It only proclaimed for the New Testament. "They have been made... cannot be made perfect without us," Hebrews 11. See? See? Now, the redemption only come when the Redeemer died. And they were potentially under the blood of lambs, not the Redeemer; hadn't been redeemed yet, until the Redeemer came.

OLD TESTAMENT

HEBREWS 11:37

» 37 † They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;

» 38 † (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth

» 39 † And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise

» 40 † God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

HEBREWS 9:11

» 11 † But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;

» 12 † Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

» 13 † For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:

» 14 † How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

» 15 † ¶ And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

» 16 † For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

» 17 † For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

NEW TESTAMENT

11)60-0522M ADOPTION.3_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN AD.3 SUNDAY_

« 177 † Inheritance by predestination. I inherited something. What inheritance? There had to be somebody leave me an inheritance. Why, you say, "Jesus left you an inheritance." Beg your pardon? Jesus never left me an inheritance; Jesus never left you an inheritance; He only came down and paid for your inheritance, brought you to your inheritance. But your name was put on the Lamb's Book of Life before the foundation of the world. God give you your inheritance. Your inheritance was first. Jesus only come... A lot... Here's the way they try to make it, "God said, 'Well, there's a lot of people lost; I don't want them... be saved, so I'll send Jesus down and perhaps maybe He'll... somebody feel sorry, and know what I've done and--and get saved.'" Oh, mercy. I wouldn't run my office like that, even as poor as I do run it sometimes then. I wouldn't do it like that. How about God?

« 178 † God, by His foreknowledge, seen exactly who would be saved and who wouldn't be saved. He sent Jesus to save those that He had already chosen. Didn't Paul say five verses behind this, that He chose us in Him before there even was a world? That's our inheritance. God chose us, and let Jesus come and pay the price. The what? His shedding of His Blood, that no sin would be accounted to us.

12)61-0618 REVELATION.CHAPTER.FIVE.2_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN ROJC 747-793 SUNDAY_

He breaks the seals, reveals, gives us His inheritance to His people. He gives the inheritance that He inherited, becoming Kinsman Redeemer, and freely gives it out to us. It all belonged to Him. He was the One Who redeemed. But instead of keeping it Hisself, He gives it back to the people. That's His love for us. Oh!

13)61-0730M GABRIEL'S.INSTRUCTIONS.TO.DANIEL_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN DA 1-44 SUNDAY_

« 56 † Now, we find that He was our Kinsman Redeemer, and He took the Book out of the hand of the original Owner. It is a title deed to redemption. We found that. You remember the study? It's a title deed of redemption. It's an abstract deed with it, that God required life for death in the garden of Eden; then Jesus the righteous One died and took a title deed, and was able to break the Seals, reveal what was in them, and give the inheritance that belonged to Him to His people. Eternal Life that He inherited by doing that, He passed His own Life back out at Calvary, and divided it among us by the Holy Ghost. Amen. No man has never been able to come--to even think of the love that that was, what He done.

-EARNEST OF OUR INHERITANCE CAME AT PENTICOST

MALACHI 4:5

» 5 † Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:

» 6 † And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

14) « 327-1 † LAODICEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.9

Now this messenger of Malachi 4 and Revelation 10:7 is going to do two things. One: According to Malachi 4 he will turn the hearts of the children to the fathers. Two: He will reveal the mysteries of the seven thunders in Revelation 10 which are the revelations contained in the seven seals. It will be these Divinely revealed 'mystery-truths' that literally turn the hearts of the children to the Pentecostal fathers. Exactly so.
