We are needy people, we are an inferior race, because of the fall of our parents in the garden of Eden, 6,000 years ago. Time does not change that, nor does it advance our own abilities to return to that glorious place mankind fell from.
Thanks be to God, that He provided away for His people to be restored back to that which we lost, by Jesus Christ, 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
THE NEW CREATION
The NEW CREATION is God dealing with the soul of those that are His from the beginning. A soul that came from God by predestination, and redeemed back to its original condition for redemption.
However, we still live in this inferior flesh that has not been restored back and will not be until we receive a NEW BODY at the Resurrection. Until then... God has provided what we need for our encouragement, edification and perfection (maturity, spiritual growth).
We all know, the Spirit is willing, even though the flesh is weak. Therefore, as we assemble together, which believers do, according to Scripture (Heb10:25); I believe the LORD will give to His Church exactly what they need as a needy people.
GOD IS BIG ENOUGH TO USE IMPERFECT MEN, WITH PERFECT GIFT
God is a big God, and therefore He is more than able, to speak through imperfect vessels, if yielded to Him, the things to help and strengthen those whom He has chosen.
Brother Branham prayed; "May the people realize that this is the heart of their pastor, to try to bring in everything, and every gift, and everything they can, that's honored by God, that it might help their congregation to see and to believe, and grow. Grant it, Father." - 64-0318 SIR WE WOULD SEE JESUS
