ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A GREAT WORLDWIDE REVIVAL?
In the USA the people are crying for a revival, seeing the sin and insanity that is taking place all around the world. Great men are prophesying that God is fixing to do something greater than He ever has, they are looking for a mighty move of God.
However, the scriptures tell us there comes a time that this world will be turned over to their reprobate minds, and God gives them up. Therefore, they do as they please.
SCRIPTURE IS CLEAR
Rom 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
“God gave them up” He ceased to restrain them and gave them over to their own imagination to do as they please. It is the same with the church, in this final age (Laodicea), an age that shuts the door on God (Rev 3:20).
THE GOSPEL AND THE JEWS
Thus, this nation and the church have missed its revival, Elijah has come (Mal 4:5-6), we are waiting for the going home of the Bride of Christ (Rapture and resurrection). The next great supernatural move of God will come by the two Witness of Revelation 11, as this Gospel that has been rejected goes to the Jews, the 144,000, of Rev 7, and Zech 12:10. The Bride of Christ will be at the Marriage Supper, while the Great Tribulation sets in and they receive the Christ of the Word, that was rejected by the Gentile Church in the final age.
WILLIAM BRANHAM
In William Branham’s sermon titled, THE FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS, he said the following: “Now, as soon as this Church (the Bride) is drawed together, She is taken up; and that mystery of the Seventh Seal, or the Seventh Seal, the mystery of going. And the Jews are called by the mystery of the Seventh Trumpet, which is two prophets, Elijah and Moses, and they come back. And there is where the Pentecostals are all mixed up; they're looking for something to happen; the Church is done gone. And that's to the Jews.”
UNQUOTE - Where are we at, are we looking for a greater outpouring and a mighty revival to get us out of the mess we are in? No, it has already come as a message, by a messenger of God’s choice. And it has awakened the Bride (Matt 25:6). Despite all the sin, confusion and insanity around us, our duty now is to stay steady, and keep your lamps trimmed.
I love the following quote. Brother Branham was taken home a few months following this sermon titled, “CHRIST IS REVEALED IN HIS OWN WORD.” The title almost says it all.
QUOTE – “So there can't be no organization left, neither can there be any further advancement than what's going right now, for she'll burn before the day breaks again. The revival is over, across the nation. There ain't going to be no more revivals, big sweeping revivals; this nation will never receive it. You might have an intellectual gathering. But, I mean, a Spiritual revival, we've seen all of it. I hope you're catching it. I'm saying it in such a way that I hope you get it. See? It's over.
“A fine minister said, a while ago, said, ‘Brother Branham, if I could just have the joy of the Lord in my heart!’
“I said, ‘Son, the revival is over.’ See?
“Now the stabilizers has been put on the ship. Great fearful waves are out here before us; but we know, just beyond that wave yonder, we're nearing the shore. See? We're nearing the shore. Just stay stabled. Just stay in the Word. Stay with God. No matter how you feel, what anything else; stay right with the Word. Let it stay stable, when you see all these great big old clouds around us, and storms a coming, and atomic bombs, and everything else they're talking about. But our stabilizer is right straight in the Word. God said it would be here; we'll crest every one of them. Yeah, we'll go right over the top of them. Yes, indeed! They can't sink us. They can't drown us. You put us in the grave; we'll come out again. That's just all there is to it. There ain't no way in the world to keep it down there. We'll crest every one of them, 'cause our great Chief Captain is calling at the other side.”
UNQUOTE – I am so glad the stabilizer has been put in the old ship of Zion. Stay steady.
