Amen and AmenThis is exactly what we need in this day👏👏👏 May God richly bless you our Pastors and all the saints Waiting Patiently for part 2 part 3 which ever way the Lord leadeth we will tune in always.Shalom!!!
Now we can see that Jesus Christ is revealing Himself through the ages by His Spirit in the messengers. They are as Moses was to the children of Israel. As he had the revelation for his day, so each messenger had God’s revelation and ministry for that day. Thus when we see that the messengers are in His hand, we see the Lord identifying Himself with these men and granting them His power. It is not enough that He has associated Himself with the whole church, which we saw when He was seen standing amongst the seven golden lampstands. Nor is it even enough that we see the five fold ministry of Ephesians four (apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists, pastors). For in each age the church goes astray, and it is not just the laity but the clergy group - shepherds are wrong as well as sheep. Then God brings Himself on the scene as the Chief Shepherd in the ministries of these seven men to lead His people back to the truth and the abundant power of that truth. God is in His people - all of His people, for if any man has not the Spirit of Christ he is none of His. And He is the Word. That would be the Word recognized in the people. But He has placed a special leadership in these men of His own choosing and through the determined counsel of His own will. They appear once in each age. It is the same Spirit in them. What a far cry is this from the heresy of Rome. They have a man of their own choosing - one after the other - none producing the power of God - none abiding in the Word of God - each one differing from the one before him and adding what he desires as though he were God. God is not in it. But He is in His messenger and he who would have the fulness of God would follow the messenger as the messenger is a follower of the Lord by His Word.

128 Now the question comes up out in the wilderness. Here’s where it brings…See, now, I want you to watch, my brethren. Now remember, these people enjoyed them blessings. They enjoyed the preaching of this prophet, this anointed one. They believed him. They followed him. But there arose up in the wilderness, one by the name of-of Dathan, and one by the name of Korah. And they said, “This has got to be a one-man affair. Moses thinks he’s the only one God’s called.” 129 That one-man Message, they didn’t want It. No, they didn’t want It. And God never did deal but with one person at a time. It’s always a one-man Message. When did ever He deal with the people, outside of just one person? It’s an individual. It ain’t a group. You’re responsible to God, each one of you. You say, “Oh, I believe It.” You just…What you do, you just entertain It. You entertain a thought. 130 Here’s a woman standing here. I’m a young man, waiting to get married. She meets my specification every way. She’s a lovely Christian: she looks like one, she dresses like one, she acts like one, she lives like one. I’ll admit she’d make me a good wife. But she isn’t mine till I take her for mine. That’s the way the Message is. You can sympathize with It and say, “It’s right.” But you’ve got to take It yourself to become part of It. Then you and the Message become one. Then the anointing’s with you, as it is with the others. 64-1227 - "Who Do You Say This Is?" Rev. William Marrion Branham

355. Dearly beloved: (Let’s see.) About the Scripture of Ephesians 4:11 through 13, do we all (Let’s see.)-do we get all the perfecting of saints through the tapes, or should we be here, where the gifts of the Spirit are operating and the different offices of the church, to help perfect us? Our hearts have believed all the Word of the Lord. 219 Now this person is from Oregon. Now, my dear…I believe I know who it is. See? It’s…Oh, yes, I do, I certainly do. Your-your boy…If the person’s here, I know you’re…If you’re not, it might’ve been last Sunday. See? This might’ve come in from last Sunday’s. But your-your son flies conservation, see, and it’s…he controls…He’s…I think he’s the one that invited me over to go elk hunting with you over in Oregon, where…And I think this is right. Now, I know this person by letter by…and so… No! They want to come here to the church for the perfecting. See? That we-we get fellowship one with another here at the church, but the perfecting comes between us and God. The Blood of Christ is what perfects us in the Holy Spirit. 220 Now, in the church says, “…has the gifts operating.” Now, we do not have too many of the gifts operating here, but we have some of them. We have the gift of tongues, and-and the gift of prophecy (two or three of them). 221 I think our Brother Higginbotham here, ever where he’s at, he’s got a gift of speaking in tongues. And we got our Brother Junior Jackson with us, and he speaks with tongues. And then we got two or three of them interprets. Brother Neville here also, our pastor, speaks with tongues and sometimes prophesies, and the Lord brings upon him… 222 Just the other day he said something. He called upon a phone in a house where I was at, that he prophesied over a person, told them that a drunken man would…there’d be a great change in him right away or something like that. And the man has come out of the Alcoholics Anonymous, still an alcoholic, and for sixty-eight days hasn’t even touched alcohol, or no medicine for it, or anything. That was Brother Neville prophesying over them. 223 So we are…We have some of the gifts operating among us, and we’ll be very glad to fellowship with any of you, that has a way, that you’re working, or wants to come and fellowship with us, anything we can do, we’re very happy about it. See? But now the perfecting belongs to Christ. 64-0830M - "Questions And Answers #3" Rev. William Marrion Branham
