Well its time once again to go to a story about William Branham. No it will not be a full message out of one of his preaches, but a short testimony about how God got him turned around in his life so that he would fall in line with the will of God. Now, after hearing this story you might could come away with some kinda feeling that God isn’t a nice God after all. And but I would caution you against that because we would only come to that conclusion out of ignorance as to our relationship with Him

So each of us is in a different place insofar as our relationship with God. The different place meaning that we are more intimate and experienced with Him and His ways or we are less intimate and experienced with His ways. If you read Numbers chapter 12 and chapter 16 you will see that surely there is a difference in our relationships. You could also see it in 2 Corinthians 12:2 when Paul was sharing about a particular experience he had:

2 Cor 12:2 - 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a one was caught up to the third heaven.  

Now outside of Enoch who went along with Elisha and never came back, Paul left this rock and came back, but that is not the really cool part if you consider that God dwells in the third heaven. How much more cooler is that when you have that bit of information. And what did Paul see? 

2 Cor 12:4 - 4 how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

So, the woman with the issue of blood, who by the way did not live with Jesus, so she only had His reputation to rely on, knew something about Jesus that His own family members did not know about. 

No but this is crazy when you consider the greatly missed eternal opportunity that was with them under the same roof for all of those years. Getting to live with God, that is Jesus, for all of eternity, the same God who created everything that is anything, is a missed privilege made by so many these days, well I guess it would be accurate to say in all of history days it has been a missed opportunity, and but, what is phenomenally worse is the acceptance of the worst case scenario over and above the heavenly option. 

And so but yes, we have people here who believe that we humans absent of God are a reliable source for making wise and prudent decisions. 

Opting to go to hell when it is described in the Bible as the worse eternal decision a human can make is so far beyond stupid and foolish that one must ask, and yes you have to ask, no you should be compelled to ask, what is wrong with those who make that decision? Is it brain damage? A fool equates to someone who has phycological issues. Ok so let’s D-Com it so that I don’t look like a, well you get my drift...

Ok, Ok, Ok so this was really cool to come across as I was reading the book written by Gordon Lindsay in collaboration with William Branham titled “William Branham A Man Sent From God. It’s discussed on just a couple of pages, but like always as I was reading it I saw or was given a solid message on the idea of it. And oh well then I decided to title the idea of it as the title of message. Listen to it comparatively as you think about how it isn’t any different today then it was back when this was stated by Moses and in the book of Judges:

Deut 12:8 - 8 “You shall not at all do as we are doing here today—every man doing whatever is right in his own eyes—

Judges 21:5 - In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.

Ok so after I read the story, we will get back to the importance of hearing how God works the same today as Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Heb 13:8).

John 7:38 - He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water

Good morning Vietnam and all of the rest of the countries tuning into this Podcasts in hopes to not hear me but to hear from the Holy Spirit. Ha, yes that line was from an old Robin Williams moving and it just came to me as I was thinking about how to greet you. Of course its not a proper church opening but it works for me as a member of the bride church. No stanchy religious form here. I in no way am trying to look religious, I am trying to be, act, smell, sound, and do my religion. I just want to have, maintain, and ever grow in my wonderful relationship with my groom to be (Matt 25:1-10).

Now that’s a greeting which I hope finds you well no matter where you are listening.

Now after you get to the end of this message and you should be sure to do that, don’t be surprised if you think I missed the water mark. Ha, you know the title. Yes, this is what title I feel that God wanted to give me. The holy Spirit represents that water. The fact that you cannot keep quiet about God represents that water. No talkie bout Jesus, then you are a dry well and you will end up in a place that rhymes with that if you don’t catch what I just stated there. 

So you know who got me up early and well I was again so very good with it because I took the time to muse upon Him, send a friend an early morning reflective of the times text, and to read a book about how it should be done today. Wait, what? What is IT? The function of the church. You see when I read about other ministries operating in miracles, signs, and wonders while also leading thousands to the lord, in part because of those supernatural things being done by God through His servants, I think wow why did that form of church stop in todays today? Yes I know, we have some doing it righty rightee, but have you seen anything lately whereby a few servants of the Lord show up and nearly, at its height, 100,000 people show up, in less, no, way less, than ideal conditions, waiting all, all, did I say all day, in the yuk weather, just to get a glimpse of Jesus working through His servants? And here is the invisible from today’s churches, the sick, maimed, mutilated, diseased, crippled, those who lost some of their natural capabilities like seeing, hearing, tasting, walking, talking, moving, oh my God no one who had anything so debilitating staid home when the opportunity for healing, and the evidence that it was happening, walked into town. No, they flew into the place that I am talking about which is Africa. Invalids and autism and missing limbs, or ear drums or eye balls, would scare many pastors in the America’s white as a Polar Bear if they showed up in their church and asked for the prayer of healing. No but if I am wrong then send me any testimony where this is happening. My email is [email protected]

This is the message we get when I wake up at 4am and feel an unction. I guess we could say that it is an unction function. Ah, hey a little Sesame Street word rap right there. Ha, ha let’s do it.

So what happened to Judas when Satan entered his heart? He became anti anything God:

John 13:2-3 - 2 And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him, 3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God,

Yes, this very Judas who was casting out demons with those who were sent out, was now the habitation of one:

Luke 10:1-12,17 - 10 After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go. 2 Then He said to them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. 3 Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves. 4 Carry neither money bag, knapsack, nor sandals; and greet no one along the road. 5 But whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ 6 And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on it; if not, it will return to you. 7 And remain in the same house, eating and drinking such things as they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house. 8 Whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you. 9 And heal the sick there, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ 10 But whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say, 11 ‘The very dust of your city which clings to us we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near you.’ 12 But I say to you that it will be more tolerable in that Day for Sodom than for that city…. And verse 17 - 17 Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.”

Well I have a couple of things regarding this message and maybe it should be two messages but just perhaps maybe I can do it in one.

I started this in the morning and then finished it in another morning around 2:27am. I am telling you I could not sleep any longer. And so be it, as I think we are nearing the end as it is no secret to you as to where I stand on that matter. The bible and the signs of the times would and do agree. 

The first thing I want to address is that title. If you are dead to yourself, crucified in Christ and live in Him, then your old man is dead and your new man is alive in Him. This means that you no longer have the appetites of the old man because he is dead and dead things don't have appetites. And well your new man now has different appetites that your old man ever didn't have. Some of those appetites are non-sin appetites, but others are that you begin to have a deep desire to know and understand God. And as you move down the path of understanding what that looks like, that appetite grows very large helping to squeeze out any remaining appetite for the things of this world. This process is notably known as sanctification. Let’s look at the supporting scriptures:

Gal 2:20 - I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

Well, good day and it’s always a good day when I get you report on the things of the ministry. If you are interested in treasures in heaven (Matt 6:19-21) and interested in the day when your works will be judged (Rev 20:12), then you may want to find out just how well we are doing in our ministry. 

As always keep in mind that the statistics that I report are from just one source but that other sources pull the messages from this platform as well. So I am not sure but Buzzsprout may or may not count the download if it is not from Buzzsprout itself. Why is that important to know Mr. Podcast Preacher? Because when I share that we are on near 30 different platforms and that the message may go out through others sharing using their technology, we would not just assume that if we times the data we get from just Buzzsprout that we could just multiply it by thirty to get an accurate number.

Ok so it’s not like I don’t have 375 other messages just waiting in the Q so that the Holy Spirit can bring them to life, in addition to the many messages that drop into my spirit on a near daily basis. But then I decide to read the book written by William Branham titled Three Kinds Of Believers, and but we could say that it is a book, but it is really just a preach typed out for us who live outside of Williams time. Brilliant to record his messages so that they do not get lost to time and the great deceptions occurring in these very last days. 

So after being woke up by the Holy Spirit at 12:30, which is not as strange when you understand that I was tired and went to bed at around 7:30pm. I mean at my age how much sleep do I really need anyway. Well apparently that is being decided for me and I am all good for it anyway because I get to do what I live to do. I would rather be preparing another podcast message which is as relevant today as it was when it was first preached than to do anything else. Oh yes, in my younger days I would have said “than almost anything else” but really in these days I have discovered that nothing is more important and urgent than to say to the remaining people that we just don’t have much time to make the proper decision as to the things of God, and the continuing to say that well you just don’t believe in this spiritual stuff is to deny the truth that you were actually born with:

Eccl 3:11 - He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.

Your words aren’t enough because as I stated just now satan told Jesus what the bible stated. 

Luke 4:1-13 - 4 Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit [a]into the wilderness, 2 being [b]tempted for forty days by the devil. And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry.

3 And the devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”

4 But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’ ” 

Boom bing lets see how accurate satan quoted that scripture. And but while we are doing this, and of course we will find the defect in satans approach to using scripture, consider if you yourself are maybe not doing this yourself. I of course cannot have been the only one in and throughout my spiritual growth fell trap into also falling short on scripture quoting. It happens to the best of us, and no I am not the best of the best of us.

Ok so I have an advantage over you which is that I get to see the entire message beginning to end before you get to hear it, and I got to say that wow this is a powerful message. God makes me look good all the time. What a wonderful message this is to the bride of Christ and His obedient church. Pay close attention to the scripture references that I also included. Look them up because they too are an important part of the complete revelation of this message. Study this bad boy to grow and grow you will if you do study this thing out. I am now getting ready to record and wow I must take a break just to settle down from all of the revelational anointing. Well, actually I just want to get a snack. Ha here we go.

I was up this morning and was praying and worshiping God and thinking about the elements of warfare going on in my life as well as those things taking place all over the earth, and yes of course to bring it home, right here in America. Our recent political process reminded me of every and all the things that take place in 10th a graders life. It’s like our nation has lost any semblance of maturity and politeness.

What’s happening to us should be the cry of every heart that knows God. The others don’t see what’s going on. They are usually caught up in the greatest spin doctor to have every been created. Yes, satan has them all wrapped around his finger. And yes much of the church is also singing the same song. Rev chapter three tells us this. Specifically in verse 17:

17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked—
