You Was A Eagle To Begin With Pt. 5



You Was A Eagle To Begin With Part 5Bro. Kenan Williams11/18/202058-1221E THE UNITY OF ONE GOD IN THE ONE CHURCH - JEFF. IN 95 There's what God wants you filled with. He wants you filled with the Holy Ghost, and then you'll be united, what to? A church? No, sir. You'll be united, what to? A creed? No, sir. You'll be united to God. And you and Him will be one, as He and the Father is One. And God's Holy Spirit will live in you. And the same works that the Holy Spirit performed when It was here in the Christ, Jesus, shall be performed in you, for He said He'd do it. Then we are one. Jesus prayed for that.96 In the prayer tonight, our heavenly Master prayed to the Father that we'd be one as He and God is One. And how close were They? God was the Life and Spirit in Him. And if we are one with Him, we will be, Life and Spirit of Him will be in us. Then earthly, carnal, intellectual conception, and creeds, and dogmas will fade out; and a new, generated, borned again, virgin experience of the baptism of the Holy Spirit will take place in the human heart. Then you'll be one; then brother will really be brother; sister will be sister. Your objectives, and your motives, and all that you are, and all that you ever want to be, or try to be, will be for the Kingdom of God, no matter what church you represent, where you go or what you do.97 There is so many people today who says that the Holy Spirit is not real today. While tens of thousands of them, and millions, are saying it's not so, there's that many enjoying the blessings of It. Mostly are poor people, people who's been dejected and rejected by the world, people who's been throwed out of churches because that they believed God to be God; but they have been filled with His Spirit. They are one in purpose; they're one in heart. Who are those people? Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterian, Catholic, Jehovah Witness, orthodox Jew, all together, they become one. Not one to a creed, not one to a denomination, that's the working of the devil through intellectual conceptions, but the working of the Holy Spirit, the Kingdom of God in you.And God sets on the throne of your heart in His control room, controlling your emotions, and controlling your powers, controlling your conceptions, and making you one with Him in fellowship and in love. And God fills you with love. He fills you with power. He fills you with the Spirit. He fills you with His own Divine Nature, and He changes your carnal nature into His Nature. Then, in this, you become a new creation in Christ.100 Then the love, you go out and seemingly the birds sing different. Oh, how different it is when Christ comes, how you can look back and think, "How did I ever stay away from it? How did I ever reject it?" Everything's different. You have no enemies; they all look sweet. You can forgive everything that's ever been done. The bitterest of enemy, you could pray for him on the street, put your arm around him and lift him up; no matter what creed, what denomination he belongs to, he's a creature who Christ died for. That's what God wants you filled with. That's the filling. That's the Kingdom. That's what we're one in.59-0628e - Questions And Answers88.?What difference is there between body, soul, and spirit?The body is the flesh that you look at; that must rot.?It was born by sexual desire of father and mother. It must rot. It’s no good.?Therefore, in the new birth, in the resurrection when—when you’re brought forth again in a new body,?it’ll be God’s creative power that’ll speak like He did to Adam and you’ll come forth.Job said, “I’ll have a desire. He’ll speak and I’ll answer Him.” See??Now, the body is what you look at, the spirit is what controls you,?your soul is the motive of that spirit, or the nature of that spirit. “The?soul?that?sinneth, that soul shall die.”?You’re born in the world with a sinful soul. That is, the nature of your spirit is sinful.?You long for the things of the world.?Then the Holy Ghost comes down and baptizes you and changes the nature of that spirit.?Then the nature that’s left on you is of Heaven.?Then you profess that you are a pilgrim and stranger. Then you are born from above.?You’re from above, you’re a candidate of Heaven, you’re a new creature in Christ Jesus,?with the same body, with the same spirit, only it’s changed.And you are, or, your nature of that spirit is changed from unrighteousness to righteousness.?That’s soul, body, and spirit.60-0925 - That Day On Calvary44 The one great, important thing that Calvary means to us and the world,?is, it settled the sin question, once for all.?Man was found guilty of sin. And sin was a penalty that no man could pay.?The penalty was so great until there wasn’t anyone that could pay the penalty.?I truly believe that God ordained it that way,?that the penalty would be so great that no man could pay it, so He could do it, Himself.?Now, the penalty of sin was death. And we were all born in sin, shaped in iniquity, come to the world, speaking lies.?Therefore there wasn’t none of us that was worthy, or, they could find no one on earth that was worthy.45 ?And sin did not start on the earth. Sin started in Heaven.?Lucifer, the devil, was a condemned creature, for his disobedience, before he ever struck the earth.?Sin began in Heaven, where God put the Angels, and so forth, upon the same basis that He put human beings on;?knowledge, the tree of knowledge, the tree of Life and the tree of knowledge, where man could take his choice.?And when Lucifer was given the preeminences, to make his choice,?he wanted something better than God had. That started the trouble.46? And there was a requirement for sin. The requirement was death. Death was the penalty.?And, that is, we could go into great details of this, because I do not believe that there is but one death.?There is one Life. And I believe a man that has Eternal Life can never die.?And I believe there is a complete annihilation of that soul that sins,?for the Bible said, “The?soul?that?sinneth, it shall surely die.”?Not the man; “the?soul?that?sinneth.” So, Satan must surely die, to be completely destroyed.?How I disagree with the universalists that say that Satan will be saved! He sinned, and he’s the originator of sin.?And his soul sinned; and he was a spirit. That spirit shall be totally annihilated, to be nothing left of it.47 ?And when sin struck the earth, back in the beginning,?like a sheet of blackness falling from the heavens, it literally paralyzed the earth.?It throwed every creature, on the earth, and all of God’s creation, in bondage.?Man was under bondage of death, sickness, trouble, sorrows. All nature fell with it.?Sin was an anesthetic that actually paralyzed the earth.?And then we was set here, hopeless, ’cause every creature on earth was subject to it.?And everyone born on earth was subject to it.48 ?So, it had to come from some Place where there was no sin.?It could not come from the earth. One of us could not redeem the other. It had to come from Another.49? Therefore, when man realized that he was separated from his God, he become a wanderer.?They wept. They cried. They toiled.?They wandered about, through the mountains and through the deserts, seeking a City whose builder and maker was God.?For, he knew that if he ever got back in the Presence of God, he could talk it over with Him.?But there was no way back. He become lost. He didn’t know which way to turn,?so he just took out, wandering, trying to find somewhere that he could find a way back to that Place.?Something on the inside of him told him that he come from a Place that was perfect.?There is not a person here in this visible audience, this morning, or in the audience of the magnetic tape,?where it’ll go around the world, there is no one here, or anywhere, but what seeks for that perfection.61-1015M QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS - JEFF. IN 157 Please explain the difference between the spirit and the soul.Well, now that's a hard one. But the first thing you are, a triune being, just like Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is three titles going to one Person, which is Jesus Christ. And you're soul, body, and spirit. But it takes those three to make you. With just one of them, you're not you. It takes the three to make you.Like I said the other day, "This is my hand; this is my finger; this is my nose; this is my eyes; but who's me?" Who is me that this belongs to? It's what's on the inside of me; that's the intelligence.If this eyes, if this hands, if this body stood here just as it is today, yet I could... My body could be here, but me could be gone, what I am. What--whoever I am inside of me has gone on. That's--that's the part--part that is the spirit. The soul is the nature of that spirit, that when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, It does not do nothing... You... It changes or converts your spirit to a different soul. And that soul is a different nature that's on that spirit. So the soul is the nature of your spirit.First you were mean, and evil, and hatred, and malice, and strife; now you're loving, sweet, kind, and--and... See the difference? It's your nature. We could... I'll call it that. It's your soul that's been changed. The old soul died, and the new soul which is the new nature was borned into you. See?160 Your brain is not your intelligence; it's your spirit that's in you is your intelligence. See? Your brain is a bunch of matter and cells and so forth; it has no intelligence in itself. If it did, then as long as it laid there, whether you was dead or alive, it would still operate. See? But it's not--it's not your brain; it is your spirit inside of you. And your soul is the nature of that spirit. That's the soul of the spirit that controls--the spirit that controls the body. See? There you are.Now, I got to hurry, 'cause we're just getting a little bit late. Now, I think that--I hope that takes care of that.61-1231M YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN - JEFF. IN 68 And look, did you know each day something has to die so you can live? Now, to you Seventh-day Adventists that's in our midst, many people say, "I wouldn't shoot a squirrel, Brother Branham. I wouldn't kill a deer, or a rabbit, fish, 'cause I don't believe that we should kill things." My brother, did you know that the vegetables and things that you eat is life also? You have to kill it. And the only way that you can exist in this life, something has to die so you can live by its dead life. Now, if something has to die so you can live by its mortal life here on earth to live mortally, did not Something have to die so that by Its life you could live eternally? Just ask yourself that question. And that One was Christ, 'cause no other one has immortality. The Son only has immortality. And He gives Himself to you by just accepting Him.69 Now, it must die. Now, that don't mean turn a new page now, this new year. You say, "Brother Branham, I've been coming here for a long time. I've been a member of the church. This New Year's I'm going to turn a new page and start new. That don't mean that. Not turn a new page, but actually die and be born again. See? You've got to feel so guilty when you stand in His Presence. Whether you go the Methodist way, or the Baptist way, or whatever way you go, you've got to be so guilty and feel so guilty till you... It'll kill you. That's right. You--it'll kill you. Your worldly life will die right there. You've got to reckon yourself so guilty in the Presence of God until your worldly life dies right there. The sin question's over for you when you're standing in His Presence. When you look like that, you're sure to live, because you die. And the only way you can live again is to be--die first so you can live again.Now, you see what I'm coming to, don't you (See that?), what the birth is, the new birth. First, to die, in order to be born again... And if you still got the things of the world in you, you're not born again. And how you going to claim to be born again and still with the things of the world hanging on you? See? How can you do it?71 Young Christian the other day, bunch of people... I don't say they're not. But in looking at some pictures, Christian women, Christian men, all lovable around one another in bathing suits, in a-swimming. See? It's just... They said, "That's real love." That's real filth. It's not love. Love is expressed different from that.72 Our souls are placed by faith on His brass altar, God's judgment, and our offering is consumed. Now remember, when Elijah, under those brass skies, laid the offering of God upon the altar, the offering was consumed. Baal could not consume his offering. I don't want to say this, but I must say it. And when you go to a church, and accept their creeds, and their forms of baptisms, and the offering that you supposingly yourself to lay upon there, you might get up shivering, speaking in tongues, running all over the floor, or you might get up weeping. But if that offering has been received by God, it's consumed; the world is dead to you. You're gone, for we reckon ourselves dead and buried. We are dead and our... We are hid in Christ, hid in Christ. And besides that, then after that we're dead, and buried, and hid in Christ, then we're sealed with the Holy Spirit.73 You see what I mean now? You are dead. Our souls are placed upon His Divine judgment; that's brass. When our souls is placed upon a altar of Divine judgment, what was the penalty? Death. And when you lay yourself upon the altar of God, which is pronounced death upon the sinner, how can you raise from there, alive in sin, if God accepted the sacrifice? Is it clear now? You die. You actually are consumed, and you're petrified. There's no more left to you but just this form that you're standing in, like the brass serpent, like Christ was when they took Him dead and cold off the cross. You're dead. 'Cause why? You're on God's altar of judgment. What is His judgment? When the Judge has passed His sentence. What is the sentence of His penalty? Death. And when you place your soul upon His altar of judgment, it's death to you. Now, you get it?74 Oh, you might get up from there and do anything; you might dance in the Spirit; you might cry like a--like anybody would cry; you might run up and down the floors; you might join every church; you might do anything you want to (I'm talking to Pentecostals now), and go right back out and defile a man's wife, break up a man's home, some of you women. You'll go right back no matter how much the Word comes to you to do right and things, you won't recognize It. You'll never let your hair grow, women, or that. You'll never dress right. You'll still be just exactly like the world, because you're not dead to the world yet; you're alive with it.Some of you men will never quit drinking, smoking. You'll never quit lusting after foul women immorally dressed, when you see them on the street, instead of turning your back, walking away. You'll still lust right on just the same. Because why? You're alive with the world yet. But when that sacrifice has been received, you're dead. That's right. You hear what I mean? You understand what I'm talking about?76 Now, your soul is laid upon that altar of God's brass judgment, then God receives the sac... Now, it shows that you haven't received it yet, if it does... If--if you're still alive in the world, God's never took it. Now, you people talking about getting the Holy Ghost and how you have to wait so long, here you are. Until God receives that sacrifice, until it's laid on His judgments there, until His judgment has actually killed your senses... You might say, "Well, I'm going to turn a new page." That ain't it. "Well, I know I used to smoke; I'm going to quit smoking." That still isn't it. Until God receives that sacrifice on His brass altar, His altar of judgment... What is His judgment? Death. That's the penalty. The soul that sinneth that remains in that, shall die. I don't care what you done.Jesus said, "Many will come to Me in that day, and say, 'Lord, haven't I done this and done that?' He'd say, 'Depart from Me, you workers of iniquity.'" See?79 When that sacrifice is received by the fire, and it goes up like that, and the smoke goes up, you rise with your sacrifice into the heavenlies, and you're sealed away from the things of the world then. Our soul's on His altar.What are you done then, after you have been died, then what are you to do? Then you are conceived anew. You are conceived anew. You was first conceived in iniquity. Now, you're conceived in something new. What is it? The living Word. Oh, that changes it now, doesn't it? Now, we're through the struggle, after seeing what you got to do. Now, what happens? You're conceived anew in the living Word. What is it? The Word becomes alive in you. You begin to see things different. Where once you couldn't see that, now you do see it. There's something different now: makes all the Scriptures come together, makes everything dovetail just right. Then now something's begin to happen. Now, you die to your own thinking; now you're conceived, because we are washed by the water of the Word. Is that right? ................
