Scripture: 2 Peter 1:1-3
Series: June 2015
God has given us divine power according to the scripture in the book of 2nd Peter. That power entitles us to the divinely revealed mystery truths of God which are indeed the reason why God had to send us a Prophet in this day. For the ministry of Malachi 4 came to do 2 things: 1)Turn the hearts of the children to the fathers and 2)reveal the mystery truths of the thunders contained in the seven seals. This two fold purpose of end time Elijah’s ministry can be summed up in this one statement: the revelation of the mystery truths is what turns the hearts of the children to the fathers. There is a connection between the two purposes of Malachi 4’s ministry. When we have had these divinely revealed mystery truths which turns our hearts to the Pentecostal fathers, then we begin to operate beyond church spirits. We begin to operate above the pastoral spirits. We are not influenced from things around us. In fact, we are guided and controlled by the supernatural, with the Holy Ghost as the driver in our lives. Indeed, we become zombies in a spiritual sense, operated and directed by the sovereignty of the Holy Ghost. After the resurrection of Christ on the 3rd day, the disciples heard that the Lord Jesus Christ is risen. The good news was not enough for the disciples when the women told them of the empty tomb. Although they heard the Word, (and faith comes by hearing), they still wanted to witness the evidence, they wanted to handle the Word in flesh. They wanted more than the news, they wanted the vindication thereof in flesh. And in our day, we have seen the same evidence of the resurrection again in the form of the ministry of the a Son of Man revealing the Son of Man. For Elijah in our day was a special man with a commission, and instructed from an early age not to drink, smoke or defile his body. The same things which Christ did in his earthly ministry were rehearsed by the son of man ministry of our day. For instance, Christ went to the well to meet the Samaritan woman after dismissing his church. And while at the well, the Lord Jesus Christ revealed Himself fully to the woman in very direct terms. When the woman asked, Are you the messiah? Christ responded, I am he that speaks to you. It was direct, it was to the point. Yet when he talked to the disciples it was just in parables and hidden speeches. The point is that Christ makes himself known to the gentile church. For indeed the Samaritan woman speaks of the gentile church, as she was not of the same people as those to whom Christ came. Christ came to his own (Jews) and they refused to accept him. That is when he decided to go to the gentiles. And the Prophet William Branham displayed the same scene once again in the Token Message. As he stood under the anointing of discernment, the supernatural light, that angelic being repeatedly picked coloured (black) people from the congregation, by passing white people who are in the same racial likeness as the Prophet and the prophet challenged the white people during that service. This was just a replay of the drama of the meeting with the Samaritan woman at the well. When we have obtained like precious faith as the Pentecostal fathers we know that we are restored. And these are the products of restoration: like Peter, our shadows should be able to get the sick healed while Annanias and Saphiras characters who lie to the Holy Ghost die in the sanctuary. We will be in perfect fellowship with one another, and able to love one another despite doctrinal differences. For it is not doctrine which separates brotherhood, but a bad spirit. A good spirit will always lead the believer to the right doctrine, which explains why the Prophet preferred a man with the right spirit and wrong doctrine in comparison to the one with the right doctrine and the wrong spirit. As Moses wrote in the law that a man should not lie with a beast, the Prophet in our day came and told us that we have nothing to do with the beast system. For in the garden of Eden it was the case of mankind and beast kingdoms but today’s Eve will not be deceived into committing adultery with the beast system because the system has already been exposed. Like Moses who displayed the blood on the doorposts in Egypt, it is high time we displayed the life of Christ in our lives. In the first exodus, the issue was not the lamb but the blood from the lamb. The lamb itself is not the token but is associated with it just as the characteristics. And the children of Israel had to apply the blood and let it stay on dislay in the open. Now is the time for us to display that blood, which is the life. And the literal blood of Christ for us is not sufficient for us, but the life that is contained in the blood is what we need for transformation. The life of Christ in us is what will make us sufficiently impressed with the Message of the Hour. It will make us stand in the hour of trial. When tormentors wielding AK47 rifles confront us with death, we should be able to stand for our faith. When the squeeze comes, we will not sell out, though some will betray as they have already shown such signs through their behaviour and conduct. Let us not be like Lot who joined up with the World Council of Churches in Sodom which gagged his mouth so he could not preach against homosexuality. Lot was a backslidden Message believer who was living in compromise. We must be Abraham, the father of faith, who received a visitation from God with a two-fold purpose. God wanted to give him a change of body through the coming of the promised son and also reveal to him the things that he was about to do. There we see, in type, end time Elijah’s ministry of boosting faith for body change and revealing hidden mysteries of God. No wonder Abraham is called the father of nations. He granted salvation to Lot whose name was not even written in the book. It was Abraham’s intercession which caused Lot to receive that salvation. Lot received salvation, not redemption. For salvation only took him out of the city but did not give him a body change. Redemption, on the other hand, comes with a body change, as happened with father Abraham. Therefore as priests before God, we can intercede for our loved ones and they receive salvation. Their names can be written in the book of life as others are removed from the same book. We must discern how the devil operates. The same devil who said the Lord Jesus Christ is a drunk and glutton is the same one operating in religious leaders like the Cardinal who said Christ did not mean what He said about the second coming. The Cardinal said Christ was drunk when He said those words. At a spiritual level, we believe in wine and being drunk, for wine is the stimulation of revelation that comes from the Word of God. And as God turned water into wine at the wedding in Cana, so are the waters of the Word (Bible) transformed for us into that stimulation of revelation. And as drunks, we are carefree and love everybody. A drunk man does not notice your shoes, car, or assets when he is drunk, he will just hug and love you. We must avoid living with discontent. We must be happy always. For the serpent was not happy with his own wife, that is why he lusted after Eve and committed adultery with her. This is the same as the beast today, which is not satisfied with its own virgins (nuns) but wants the Bride of Christ (virgin church). Already we can see the desire of the beast in wanting a virgin church, it keeps its women unmarried and veils them with white. The Message of the Hour is not a religion but a relationship. When Adam fell, he swapped relationship with God for a fig-leaf religion as a covering. But God wanted a relationship with him. That is why he called out to him in the Garden. It was not that God did not know where Adam was, but he was no longer in his spiritual position where he should be. And God does not call Eve, but only Adam. For Eve is represented in Adam. She had representation already, in the same way that we have our representation in Christ Jesus in the hour of judgement. Let us not hide in the trees of the garden like Adam. A tree speaks of a man. Let us no hide behind characters, behind personalities, behind people or church leaders. Let us not hide behind the pastor. Let us not hide behind the prophet. Let us have a relationship with God directly. We are thankful for the thunders, which is the Word of God which thundered in Genesis after the fall as God gave judgement to Adam, Eve and the serpent. Yet we see that even in the hour of judgement, God still a door open for us. God did not leave Adam with no faith after pronouncing judgement on humanity. God made a prophecy that the seed of the woman will bruise the head of the serpent and Adam lived with a longing to see that prophecy come to pass (Genesis 3:16).
