53-0325 ISRAEL.AND.THE.CHURCH.1

176 Now, the Holy Spirit was poured out, and they rejected It. And when the Jews rejected It, the Gentiles received It, which was a type of the Bride. He said He would call a people out of the Gentiles for His Name.

That little girl setting back there, used to be a Broy, but she's a Branham now; she's my wife.

And the--the Bride of Jesus Christ will be Mrs. Jesus Christ, (Hallelujah.) baptized in His Spirit, in His Name, filled with His power, robed in His righteousness. Hallelujah. There she is. And now notice, that was the Gentile Bride.

54-0514 THE.SEAL.OF.GOD

245 That don't sound like some kind of ritualistic baccalaureate service to me. That sounds like an old fashion, Holy Ghost outpouring to me. Them people had been somewhere; they knew what to do when they seen the Lamb setting on the throne.

And one of the elders... said unto me, What are these that are arrayed in white robes? and whence cometh they?

Now, you know there were Jews, but where'd these come from? "All kindreds, tongues, and nations." Watch.

And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest... (No, I just don't know.)... And he said unto me, These are they... (They'd had...?... I guess. All right.)... These are they which come up out of great tribulation,... (called "holy-roller," made fun of, persecuted, laughed at)... come up out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb... (Watch!)

... they are before the throne of God... (Where does the wife stay? Where does the queen stay? That's the Bride, the Gentile Bride.)... and they serve him day and night in the temple:... (My wife serves me at the house day and night. See? That's the Bride of Jesus; that's the Gentile Bride.)

THE BRIDE AND CHRIST ARE BLOOD RELATED.

59-0418 A.TIME.OF.DECISION

E-40 Wonder why that Rebekah came before any of the other girls. Did you know that Rebekah and Isaac was blood relation? Cousins. And the Bride of Jesus Christ is blood relation to Him: a Blood bought Bride. No wonder she was led by the Spirit. There was a connection coming together. There was a union coming together.

That's the reason I think today that the borned again, the--the Holy Ghost filled people is connected with God and are led by the Spirit of God. That's why they act so peculiar to the people. They've made their decisions. They're going to go on out; regardless if the rest of them don't go out, they're going anyhow. I like that.

Don't care if this one walks or that one walks, I'm going to walk anyhow. I don't care whether this one... of what they say, I don't... They call me anything they want to, I'm going anyhow. Why? The Life is in the Blood. And the Life is in the Church, the Christian that's borned again by the Spirit of God. That's the Spirit of Life, Blood relation to Christ. The Spirit of Christ in the Blood of Christ leading a child of Christ, the seed of Abraham. That's why they move peculiarly. That's why the world thinks so strange of them.

And the Bride of Jesus Christ is sanctified through the Blood of Christ, and an open vessel for the Holy Spirit to speak to. No wonder She'll come to the Waters of Life. "He that heareth, let him come to the waters of Life freely."

"The Bride said, 'Come.'"

"He that's a thirst, let him come."

"Blessed are ye when you hunger and thirst for righteousness, for you shall be filled." It's a promise of the Father.

61-0217 THE.MARK.OF.THE.BEAST.AND.THE.SEAL.OF.GOD.2

E-27 Oh, living under the Holy Spirit... Remember, Seth got his wife... God must've give him his wife; he stayed with God. And now the believer that will stay with the Bible, and stay with God, then he will, the true church will be the Bride of Jesus Christ. The other will have a bride of the world, just anything; we found that last night.

61-0226 JEHOVAH.JIREH

E-49 Now, what was God saying? That through Abraham's Seed which come Isaac, through Isaac come Jesus... And now, at Calvary... When He was here on earth, He was Emmanuel, God with us. But at Calvary God tore Him apart. He tore Him apart, and He raised up the body, and set it on His own right hand, and sent the Spirit that was in the body back down upon the church to continue the works that it did in there. There's the covenant confirmed.

So the church that goes to be the Bride of Jesus Christ will be baptized into that same Spirit, with the same signs, same wonders. Same Holy Spirit was upon Him will be in the church. It's got to be exactly the same.

61-0317 ABRAHAM'S.GRACE.COVENANT

We are the Bride of Christ. I say that reverently, hoping we are, believing we are: by faith we are. The Bride of Jesus Christ will have to have the same Spirit in it, that the other part of the contract had when It was here on earth. You see what I mean? God confirmed it.

Then the same life that was in Jesus will be in His church, and the church will be doing the same things that Jesus did. "He that believeth in Me the works that I do shall he do also." Then how could a unbeliever see the works of God and call it "Beelzebub, mental telepathy, or...?" See the works of our Lord. How... if... if... Oh, smart, educated, sure, but a million miles away from the things of God. See?

THE ONES THAT COMMIT SPIRITUAL ADULTERY.

62-0318 THE.SPOKEN.WORD.IS.THE.ORIGINAL.SEED

88-3      That's how adultery--that's how adultery is committed spiritually. When you, knowing better by the Word of God, by the intercourse of the mind, take in a lie of the devil against the Word of God: that's exactly what Eve done. With a spiritual intercourse first that come by believing Satan's lie into the womb of her mind, that polluted her soul, set death in the soul; then the natural act taken place. And that's the only way that a woman ever can commit adultery against her husband, is to first let some man talk her into it and then receive another man that's not her husband. Then she's committed adultery. And when the Bride of Jesus Christ lets man-made creeds and dogmas take the place of the Word of God, she is committing adultery.

63-0623E THE.FLASHING.RED.LIGHT.OF.THE.SIGN.OF.ING

148    And we see these signs, and yet they go on doing it. Tell her it's wrong, see what she says. Bull-headed! That's exactly what Eve done. Eve knowed better than to do that. Did she? She had the Word of God. Said, "The day you eat thereof, that day you die." Well, why did she do it? She wanted her own way. And why will women cut their hair; why will women wear these clothes, and the Bible saying that that's just exactly what they're supposed to do? And the thing that they're doing, they're all condemned. Exactly. But why does she do it? She's got her own self. Yes, sir. She is going to have her own way. And the church says nothing about it. And the church is supposed to be the Bride of Jesus Christ, and say nothing about it?

63-0630M THE.THIRD.EXODUS

112 The iniquity wasn't full yet, of the Amorites, so they had to linger and wait before the exodus. But when the Amorites got their iniquity filled, then there come a spiritual exodus, or natural exodus, to lead the people to a natural land, where a natural Amorite had once dwelt, called that their land.

113 And the iniquity of the Amorite denomination has called themselves "the Church," so long, till their iniquity is about fulfilled.

114 There's coming an exodus, where God will show who is who; where the Church Itself, the Bride of Jesus Christ, will be exodus-ed out, into the Land that's promised. "In My Father's House are many mansions, in this place." You don't have to go There and fight like they did. It's already prepared. If this earthly tabernacle dwelling be dissolved, we have one already waiting, "That where I am, there ye will be also." The great exodus at hand!

63-0804A ONCE.MORE

78 And if the Church can overcome, she will stop saying, "I am Methodist, Baptist, and Presbyterian." When she can overcome her creeds and the world that's drawed her in there, she'll come back to the Bride of Jesus Christ, Mrs. Jesus Christ. Amen.

What a sad sight, as we see Samson standing there!

63-0818 THE.UNITING.TIME.AND.SIGN

115 The thing I've been teaching to you here, is telling you these signs and different things happening, I haven't got time to do it now; will in another message, the Lord willing. But there's one little thing yet lacking in the Church. And we want that, to get to that, and I'm right on the edge of it now. See? We want to get to that, if... you got to do it. If you don't do it, that's just all. You must do it. For looky, the uniting time is at hand, for God is getting the Church together to be a--a Rapture to go to the wedding for the Great Union: when God and man will unite for Eternity, when creatures of time unite with the Eternal.

116 It was once done in the form of the Son of man on earth. And He had to give His Life to bring about a power, to unite other men with this same Power, for the Bride of Jesus Christ. And now the Church is uniting Itself to the Body of Christ. It's got Itself free, cut away from every little fetter, getting Itself ready; getting together, union among them; oh, a love and joy, and the Holy Spirit moving among them. Oh, my, what a time!

63-0825M HOW.CAN.I.OVERCOME

I believe that the church goes through the Tribulation period, church organization, but the Bride does not. Would you choose a woman you had to purify before you married her? See? Christ's Bride is chosen, and She is Elected. And She is God's Bride, the Bride of Jesus Christ.

64-0305 PERSEVERANT

71  We find out the fire is ready, the nations are ready, the evangelists has gone to their places, and every gift is set in order. No wonder we should be persistent! No wonder we should be perseverant! We've got a goal to achieve for God, that's, call out the Bride of Jesus Christ from all denominations, from all people, a separated people for God.

65-0725M THE.ANOINTED.ONES.AT.THE.END.TIME

224 Remember, you couldn't feed a Lutheran, back in them days (you can now), Catholic a carrion. No, sir. He had fresh meat. That was that church age.

You couldn't feed Methodist, Lutheran message. Oh, no, he didn't want that a carrion. It's rotten. See, the Life had done left it and went into something else. That's the old stalk that's dead, back there. The Life is moving on.

Neither can you feed the Bride of Jesus Christ Pentecostalism. No, indeedy! Maggot-blowed organizations; nothing doing! No, no!

For the promise is, "And before that great and terrible day shall come, I'll send unto you Elijah the prophet. He will restore the hearts of the children back to the Faith of the fathers again." "All these promises had been made in the Bible, I will do it, and there the eagles will gather." "All that the Father has given to Me will come to Me." See?

65-1031M POWER.OF.TRANSFORMATION

300 And whatever Christ was, I am. What He is, I am. O God! If He is considered a fanatic, so must I be. If He was a--a Beelzebub, by His works of His Spirit, I am too. Whatever He was, I am. Whatever He was, you are.

301 We must be the makers of her immortality, her freedom or her fame, her glory or her shame.

302 We must be that. We must be the Church, the Bride of Jesus Christ. I lived with Him on the earth, when He lived. I died with Him when He died. I rose with Him when He rose. I'm assembled and am seated with Him now in Heavenly places, because I'm part of Him. Wherever He is, there I am. "Where My servant is, there will I be also."

65-1205 THINGS.THAT.ARE.TO.BE

36 You see, the whole--whole program, the whole Church, is built upon Divine revelation. Jesus said, in Saint Matthew, the 16th chapter, "Flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father which is in Heaven has revealed this to you." What was it? A revelation of who He was. "And upon this Rock, I'll build My Church, and the gates of hell can't prevail against It." See?

The revelation of Jesus Christ in this hour; not what He was in another hour! What He was now, the Bible expresses. It's growing in the Bride, to the full stature. Therefore, if the corn of wheat, of Christ, had to fall in the ground, so did the Bride have to fall in the ground, through the dark ages. Any grain that goes in the ground must die, or it can't produce itself, reproduce itself. And the great Church that He established on the Day of Pentecost, by the sending of the Holy Ghost, had to suffer martyrdom and go into the dirt, into the earth in the dark age, to bring forth again in the age of Luther, and come on out to the full stature of the Bride of Jesus Christ for this last day.
