Subject - The Mystery of the Baptism of the Holy Ghost without Sensation

JOHN 16:12-13

     12   I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. (God knows the seasons of your life to reveal His truth to you – A word is season how good it is)

     13   Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come (A future coming of Truth), he will guide you into all truth (The evidence of the Holy Spirit in your life is that He will guide you into a true understanding of the revealed word for your day. This has been the testimony of every elected believer down through 7 church ages – they all saw their day and its message): for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

Showing you things to come is a prophetic ministry – and we know that we are living in that age now.

REVELATION 4:1

     1     ¶ After this I looked (After the seven church ages had run out at the end of Revelation CH:3), and, behold, a door was opened in heaven (An opened door gives you access to enter into somewhere different): and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

**This opened door was the opening of the word that came by the voice of the seventh angel – and this door was a door that stood between the Laodicean age and the bride age, and so when this door was opened by the revealing of the word in this day, it gave us an entrance from the Laodicean Church Age into a Bride Age dispensation.

REVELATION 10:7

     7   But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

Mary’s Belief

For a subject we want to look at “The Mystery of the Baptism of the Holy Ghost without Sensation” because this was one of the mysteries that we are told would be made known to an end time people by the seventh angel’s message, but yet it’s a very misunderstood subject – so may God help us to see it clearly as taught by the seventh angel’s message.

** In Revelation 4:1, this door that was opened in heaven took place at a junction of time between the Pentecostal age of the Laodicean Church age, and the Bride Age dispensation of the time that we (as believers of this message) are living in right now.

*So since the opening of the seven seals in 1963, it is important that we recognise the junctions in the message of when doctrinal changes took place from a Pentecostal Laodicean Church Age teaching to a Bride Age teaching.

***And so it is very important for us to understand that when Brother Branham started out as a young minister, he didn’t know everything from the beginning. He began his ministry with many things in his understanding that needed to be straightened out by the real truth of the word. And so there were junctions along the way in his ministry of when the real true light of the revelation of this hour was revealed and became clear to him. And that is also our experience as we walk with the Lord in the light of His word.

*And so because of this, when people come into the message from a Pentecostal background, they will naturally bring their Pentecostal understanding over with them, and so they will also need the Lord to straightened out their understanding over a period of time by the truth of hour as they walk along in the light of the message.

**But when they start out in the message, they are looking at the message mostly through their eyes of their Pentecostal background religious world view, and so that is why they are able to find a 1000 quotes in the message that will seemingly allow them to preach a Pentecostal teaching of a Holy Spirit Baptism of a bygone Laodicean age within this new land of the message of the hour – Yet the Prophet tells us in many places in the message that we have to die out to that understanding in order to come into the bride age.

THE.ANOINTED.ONES.AT.THE.END.TIME_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-3 SUNDAY_ 65-0725M

158 …The Life keeps advancing on. But, remember, it's in another stage. It can't remain in that stage. We can't eat the a carrion of some other age. We can't eat Pentecostal a carrion, Methodist, or Baptist. See, it's become a carrion. We have fresh Food, the Word of this hour, …

**The real fact is that in the message of the hour you can find quotes to support almost any false teaching that you could imagine just like what has been done with the bible over time with all the different denominations – and we have seen a lot of it throughout the years, but the true bride will be not be deceived, because she will be guided by the Holy Spirit of the inner teacher that is leading her through all the mine fields of all that is false.

“when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth”

**So we have come to realise that Brother Branham didn’t start out knowing it all at the beginning.

*And the lack of this understanding is what has caused many to become confused over the years with certain teachings of the message, because when we read the message, it is important for us to understand that the revelation of this hour was first a journey of a progressive revelation to the prophet himself as the Lord would reveal certain truth to him along through the seasons and the experiences of his life.

*We all know that he was born a prophet, but the revelation of the word of this hour had to be revealed to him progressively by God, and so as the word came to him, then it corrected any errors of doctrine that he may have had because of his own human understanding. And this is God’s pattern for us also in our own experiences of life as we walk with the truth of this hour.

THE.UNVEILING.OF.GOD_ JEFF.IN V-9 N-1 SUNDAY_ 64-0614M

213   …Watch them tapes as they come down, watch each one, how It's come in more plainer and plainer; if you have ears to hear, see, eyes to see.

*So there were certain Pentecostal doctrines that were corrected as the message advanced by the opening of the mysteries being revealed in this day. But when a person would come out of a Pentecostal church background and into the message, then they would still be able to find hundreds of quotes of the message that would allow them to preach a Pentecostal doctrine concept of the Baptism of the Holy Ghost as a message doctrine… **Yet the prophet clearly tells us that we are not to bring the doctrine of the Pentecostal age over into the new land of the bride age.

THE.INVISIBLE.UNION.OF.THE.BRIDE.OF.CHRIST_ SHP.LA V-2 N-15 THURSDAY_ 65-1125

324   The Word that fell on the Day of Pentecost will not work this day. No, sir. That was for Pentecost. This is for the Bride, going Home of the Bride. We got something different. The Pentecostals represented that, again (Azusa Street represented the first Pentecostal age again). We're in the Bride age. No more than the--the Word of Noah would work in the days of Moses; no more than Moses' law would have worked in the time of Paul here. He tried to tell them, "You are dead to that, and you cannot have that."

**Brother Branham tells us that this mystery of the Baptism of the Holy Ghost without Sensation would be one of mysteries that would be revealed in this last age.

IS.THIS.THE.SIGN.OF.THE.END.SIR_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-11 SUNDAY_ 62-1230E

31-2   That's some of the mysteries that this angel is supposed to wind up, all the mystery--all the mysteries of God... And the other one... May I say this with reverence, and not referring to myself, but referring to the Angel of God.

The serpent's seed, that's been a hidden mystery all through the years.

The grace straightened out, not disgrace, but real true grace.

No such a thing as an eternal burning hell. You'll burn for millions of years, but anything that was eternal had never beginning or end, and hell was created. All these mysteries. (Notice how this seventh angel prophet was sent to straighten out all of these crooked areas of man’s false interpretations of the word.

And now listen to the next mystery that he tells us will be straighten out in this last age.)

The mystery of the baptism of the Holy Ghost without sensation, but the Person of Christ performing in you the same works that He did.

What works did Christ do? – He fulfilled all the scriptures that were written of him for that hour – that was the work that He accomplished.

*And so as the end time bride of this hour, this is what we are also called to accomplish in this day as his body on earth for this hour.

*We are called to fulfil every scripture that has been prophesied of the end the time bride of Christ.

**We are to fulfil the prophecy of Rebekah at the evening time well who meets Eleazar and follows this man all the way to her unseen bridegroom Isaac. This is one of the stories that Christ has been writing in your life because He is the Isaac part, and so there must be the Rebekah part to be fulfilled also.

***We are to fulfil the end time prophecy of Abraham and Sarah meeting the Lord Himself in human flesh again revealing the secrets of the heart.

*We are to fulfil the type of Abigale who was married to a rich but arrogant husband (a type of the Laodicean age condition), but then she came into a new age of a marriage to King David, a type of Christ.

*We are also to fulfil the type of Esther coming into a marriage union after Vashti (a type of the Pentecostal Church) was put away for refusing to come into the presence of the king – she refused to obey his word.

*We are to fulfil the type of Ruth at harvest time who came into a union with Boaz the Lord of the Harvest, and Rahab at the time of judgement with the token on display who married Salmon, on and on we could go...

**All these scriptures must be lived out in this hour by an elected end time people – and so this is the work that Christ is performing in the lives of his elected bride of this day. These are the supernatural stories of prophecy for this day that Christ has been writing into the story of your life – and so this is the third pull ministry of this hour which is the word for this day being interpreted in human flesh again, and this is greater than what the Pentecostal Laodicean age produce, this isn’t just a baptism of the anointing of the Holy Ghost falling on people, but this is the person of Christ fulfilling end time scriptures through an elected people – and so this is where the real supernatural work of God has been taking place amongst the people of God.

**But if you only have a Pentecostal denominational interpretation of what it is to do the works of Jesus by trying to copy some historical event, and you try to bring that idea from the Laodicean age side of the door and over into this bride age side of the door, and you try to mix that old manna of a bygone age in with the truth of the message of the hour, then it won’t be long before you will be encouraging the people to look back to a first or second pull experience of a platform performance of an outward supernatural attraction.

**And then all you will do is bring confusion into this message and attract the attention of people of what the first and second pull did in Brother Branham’s ministry, but we know that the first and second pull ministry of stage performances and big crowds has now passed, because we are now living in the bride age of the third pull of the prophet’s ministry of where the Spirit of Christ is now dealing privately with His bride under a supernatural administration of the revealing of Himself by the opening of the word, and of the which there is no public show involved.

…All these mysteries. The mystery of the baptism of the Holy Ghost without sensation, but the Person of Christ performing in you the same works that He did.

**So we want to look a little deeper into this mystery as taught by the message of the hour, and see it proven in the word as a bible truth.

______________

**We know that the Old Testament begins with a woman conceiving (Eve), and the New Testament also begins with a woman conceiving (Mary) – but we notice that there was a difference in the way they conceived – and so there is a mystery that lays in here for this last age that was to be fully revealed by the seventh angel’s message, and there must also be a people on earth at the end time who are able to come into the full understanding of these things.

**In Eden, when Eve doubted the word of God of the message for her day, we know that her doubt in the word of God produced a conception by a false union that brought sin and death into the world – and we are also taught by the message that her conception was associated with a sensation of the flesh. **But when Mary believed the word of the Angel of the message that she received for her hour, then her belief in the angel’s message opened up a channel that would also produce a conception in her womb just like Eve, but the difference was that Mary’s conception came without sensation.

MATTHEW 5:44-45

     44   But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

     45   That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

In the message “Anointed Ones at the End Time – 1965”, Brother Branham tells us that this rain represents the genuine Baptism of the Holy Ghost that can fall on both the just and the unjust (the wheat and the thistles). And so this was a teaching that was a great shock to the Pentecostal world of which the prophet was mostly preaching to, because it seemed so contrary to what the Pentecostal church had always taught and believed – they made such a major point of this Baptism of the Holy Spirit, and now they are being told that it will fall on both sinner and saint alike, and so this was such a great contrast to their Pentecostal understanding of being the third work of grace.

**And so in 1965 there was this junction of truth that was being sent by God to correct this Pentecostal error of understanding, and so all of a sudden Brother Branham seems to change the concept of what we always thought was the ultimate security of when a person received the Baptism of the Holy Ghost Anointing, then that sealed them unto the day of their redemption - but then from around July 1965, Brother Branham begins to make statements about the Baptism of the Holy Ghost that seems almost completely the opposite to what he had taught up to that time.

BROKEN.CISTERNS_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-13 SUNDAY_ 64-0726E

100     Notice, we find today that people... There's many people just can't believe It, even Spirit-filled people. (Notice what he is saying here, that even spirit filled people can’t believe the true word of this hour) I'm going to give you one that'll choke you. The baptism of the Holy Ghost don't mean you're going in, not at all, not on that, don't have anything to do with your soul. That's the baptism, see.

****Notice this junction of truth of the word here of how that Brother Branham’s own understanding had begun to see with a crystal clear understanding that there was difference between the “Anointing” of the Holy Ghost on the spirit of a person, and the “Person” of the Holy Ghost of the revelation of the word for their day in a person’s soul.

****The Person of the Holy Ghost is the revelation of the word for your day which comes by the Spirit of God leading you progressively into the full word for your hour, and this is in contrast to the Pentecostal understanding of the Anointing of the Holy Ghost rain that comes by and is recognised by the association with a feeling and a sensation.

****One is the baptism of the anointing of the Holy Ghost that anoints your human spirit, and the other is the word of the person of the Holy Spirit Himself revealing the truth of this hour to your soul by leading you into the truth for your day without the sensation of the anointing of the Holy Ghost on your human spirit, one is a baptism of the Holy Spirit on your human spirit, and the other is the baptism of the person of the word by a revelation in your soul – do you see the difference?

***And so the language change of the concept from a Pentecostal age thinking of the baptism of the Holy Ghost to a bride age thinking of the word being revealed by the spirit of God.

*Let us make this very clear – you do not need the baptism of the Holy Ghost to be saved and go to heaven, because we know that the foolish virgins never received the Holy Ghost baptism of the oil in their lamps and yet they are saved.

*The souls under the altar of the Jews in the fifth seal in Revelation 6 are saved and they never received the Holy Spirit Baptism.

*The ones in Matthew 25 who are given eternal life on account of their doing good to the bride, they never received the Holy Spirit baptism but yet are saved.

And then on top of this understanding, the prophet of this generation teaches us that you can actually receive the genuine baptism of the anointing of Holy Ghost and then go on to be lost – but you can’t receive the word for your age and be lost.

LEADERSHIP_ COVINA.CA V-7 N-7 TUESDAY_ 65-1207

162     … and the outward expressions shows exactly what's on the inside. See? The cocklebur... Many of you think, "I got the baptism of the Holy Ghost, I'm going to Heaven." That don't mean one thing that you're going to Heaven. No, sir. You can have the baptism of the Holy Ghost every hour in your life, and still be lost and go to hell. The Bible says so. Uh-huh, that's exactly right.

**So he is now beginning to make statements like this because he is seeing this with a greater clarity than he had ever seen it before, that the genuine Holy Spirit rain falling on someone is just that – it is just an anointing that can fall on a person’s human spirit, but it does not change the seed of what that person is inside their soul.
*And so that is why you could have this true baptism of the Holy Ghost every hour in your life in your human spirit realm, and still be lost.

***But when that same Holy Spirit reveals the word for your day to you, then that word is the person Himself coming into you – the very person of the word and eternal life Himself.

***We know by the serpent seed teaching that the way human beings are conceived is connected to unbelief of the word of God.

Eve’s unbelief resulted in a method of conception that involved the sensation of man’s involvement - just like we know that denominations has been involved with the Church woman in the same way.

***So the method of our conception of how we came into the womb of our mothers has always been the same since the first woman (Eve) conceived by her unbelief of the word, and so this is why that Jesus said that you must be born again, not by a flesh experience conception, but by a faith revelation experience conception of the word, because that was the true conception that you bypassed in the beginning.

**You bypassed the spoken word of God and came into directly into flesh by the wrong method of conception by a woman’s unbelief of the word of God.

***And so we want to look quickly at “Mary’s Belief” as opposed to Eve and Elisabeth’s doubt and look at how the manifestation of that came out in the way their conceptions took place, because we know that both Eve and Elisabeth’s conception came by sensation, but Mary’s conception had no sensation attached to it whatsoever, but her conception came by a revelation of the word of God by the hearing of a message from an angel and by her response of faith to that message of “Let it be unto me according to thy word.

***And so that is why we have to believe in a conception of the word in this hour that is different to a Pentecostal age teaching of just an anointing on your spirit, because this was Mary’s belief?

LUKE 1:26-38

     26     ¶ And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,

     27   To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. (Notice how this angel came from an eternal realm and down to a geographical location on earth at a specific time in history and to a specific woman – in other words there was no guess work involved, and neither is there any guess work involved with the seventh angel’s message coming specifically to you as an individual in this day)

     28   And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

     29   And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

     30   And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. (Our visitation from an angel in this age has only come to us by the favour of God also)

     31   And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. (Look at what the message of this angel was connected with – a teaching about a conception in the womb of a woman. And that is why the seventh angel’s message is also connected with the teaching about a conception in the womb of a woman in this day)

     32   He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

     33   And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

     34   Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? (Notice her first and only question – because for 4000 years every woman had conceived by only one way, the human race knew of no other method of conception, but now Mary was being asked to believe in a conception by a way that had never happened to a woman before that time)

     35   And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

     36   And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age (Notice carfully, two woman mentioned here together (Mary and Elisabeth), and Elisabeth’s conception (like Eve’s) came by a sensation of the flesh between a man and a woman, but the contrast we see here is that Mary’s conception came without sensation – and we know that Elisabeth represents the Laodicean Pentecostal age of this generation because John the Baptist who was the forerunner of the first coming of Christ came out of Elisabeth’s womb just as Brother Branham (the forerunner of Christ’s second coming) came out of the Pentecostal age womb of this 7th Laodicean age – and that is why Elisabeth (being the older woman) conceived first, and Mary is the younger woman that conceives last, because the bride age comes after the Pentecostal age): and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.

     37   For with God nothing shall be impossible.

     38   And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

***We could imagine Eve saying to the serpent (after that she had received his message of unbelief against the word of God) “be it unto me according to thy word”, and Mary said to the angel of the true message “be it unto me according to thy word” – and so the conception that followed these two woman was based upon the message that they received and believed – and what followed their belief was that Eve’s conception came by a sensation, but Mary’s conception came without sensation.

**And that is why in this age you must never teach that people must feel a sensation as an evidence that they have received the revelation of the word of this hour.

**The new birth consists of Justification, Sanctification and the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, but the prophet is telling us that in this age the Baptism of the Holy Ghost of this age doesn’t come by a sensation but by the spirit of God leading you into a genuine revelation of the word of where that word becomes a faith in your heart.

**He is never doing away with the anointing of the Holy Ghost, but he is trying to show us that if that is all you have (just an anointing on your spirit realm) then that is insufficient in this bride age, because if you have the wrong teaching of the word in your heart, then you will eventually become a false anointed one at the end time.

***We all believe in the power of God and the Baptism of the Holy Ghost anointing – no one is ever doing away with that, but we are not to make the anointing of the spirit our sole object and focus, because that was the old Pentecostal Laodicean age teaching, but we are to make the revelation of the word of this hour our object and focus. ****The emphasis in this hour has moved from the rain to the seed.

***So the same question of what Mary asked is also the same question of what many in the message ask, “How can this be without a sensation”?

**As message believers, we know that the historical events of this visitation of the angel to Mary have repeated themselves again in this day on a personal level in our own lives because of the visitation of the angel of Revelation 10:7 appearing to us in this hour.

*And we also know for certain that there has been a conception take place within the people of God that have received the word of the ministry of this seventh angel.

*But the conception of the word that has taken place within the people of God in this hour has not looked like what we saw manifested on April 9th 1906 at 312 Azusa Street Los Angeles when the Holy Spirit poured himself out on the people in an acts like Pentecostal anointing of the restoration of the gifts.

The Laodicean age opened with that outpouring like the first age did, but this Bride Age opened with a door being opened in heaven of the opening of the word by the message of the seventh Angel.

***That is why you cannot connect any notable public manifestation of the Holy Spirit outpouring in a sensational like way like Azusa street (that opened up the Pentecostal age) upon the opening up of the bride age, because the bride age did not open with a public show – The Bride age didn’t open up with the “Anointing” of the Holy Spirit like at Azusa street being released on a people, it opened by the revelation of the word being release on an elected people. Because when that same anointing of Azusa Street finally falls on the end time bride that has had the word planted within them over all these years, then that is what will start the going home faith for the rapture.

**So Mary had to believe in something different to all of the previous woman that had ever come before her for the past 4000 years since Eve, and Mary’s belief was connected with the way that a woman conceived life by receiving seed, and so she had to believe that she would receive seed and conceive life without knowing the sensation of a man in contrast to what Eve and Elisabeth had experienced, and so this was one of the mysteries that was to be made known in these last days.

**When talking with Brother Branham in a vision, the Holy Spirit called the Pentecostal people babies.

And so when the mysteries of God began to be made known through his ministry, we see that Brother Branham was trying to teach these Pentecostal babies the deeper things of God when all they wanted to do was to feel the anointing of the Holy Spirit and have supernatural platform performance acts that attracted the big crowds.

****As message believers we believe in the anointing of the Holy Spirit too, but our stimulation is to come from drinking the wine of the revelation of the revealed word of the person of Christ Himself being revealed to you in this hour.

 

BEING.LED.OF.THE.HOLY.SPIRIT_ MINNEAPOLIS.MN SUNDAY_ 56-0219

E-16   He said, "You're using the wrong end of the string." And I looked down on the floor and there laid the, truly, there laid the--the string, oh, went out to a nice eighth of an inch and taped down real nice. And He said, "You can't teach Pentecostal babies supernatural things." Said, "You'll cause carnal impersonations."

**Notice how the Angel called supernatural things the deeper teachings of the word.

**Babies try to copy what they see, they try to impersonate and act out what they see others doing, they are attracted to things that rattle and shake and make lots of noise, they are impressed with stage performances – and so the Holy Spirit was identifying the maturity level of the Church of the Laodicean age – but we are not in a baby age any more because we have crossed over through the door that has been opened in this hour.

**We are living in a time when the bride is to come to a full perfection of maturity in order to bring the resurrection.

**So Mary conceived without knowing a man – and this was so hard for people to believe this, of how a woman could conceive without sensation, and it was so hard to believe that even Joseph her own husband couldn’t believe her testimony, and even many people in this message who should know better still find it very hard to believe – many are still like Zacharias and Elizabeth, and that is why you will find both of these groups in the message, because these two woman that were associated with the messenger of the first coming of Christ and so will also be associated with the second coming of Christ.

**And so you will always have people in this message who will be looking for a sensation in this hour to give them a conception and a birth, and this is an area that has produce a lot of confusion in the message for many years – but for Mary to bring forth Christ the word for that hour, Mary’s belief had to be a greater belief than Elizabeth’s level of belief in order to birth the word into flesh for that hour.

This is what the message of the hour teaches us…

MARY'S.BELIEF_ LA.CA THURSDAY_ 59-0409

And as she saw this great Angel, It startled the little virgin, and she stopped. And He came close to her and saluted her. And He gave her a message. That was a hard message for that child to believe, for she wasn't nothing but a--a girl. And He gave her something to believe, that was more outstanding and hard to believe than anything He'd ever give to anyone.

E-12   Six months before that He'd met Zacharias the priest at the temple. And he was an aged man, and had read the Scriptures, and had taught the Scriptures. And because that he was old and his wife was barren, the Angel, same Angel, told him that after the days of his ministration at the altar, waving the incense over the people's prayer, that when he went home, his wife would conceive and bear a child. And that preacher questioned the Angel. "How can it be? I'm old, and my wife is old."

He had plenty of examples in the Bible. There had been Hannah at the temple, that had Samuel the prophet after she was old. And there had been Sarah, who brought forth Isaac after she was nearly a hundred years old.

**Elisabeth types the Pentecostal church age of 1906 because she was the older woman, and the forerunner (John the Baptist) came out of her womb just as brother Branham came out of the Pentecostal womb of the Laodicean age. And Elisabeth’s conception came by the sensation of the flesh as we saw in the Azusa street pouring out of the Spirit of God in 1906 – but Mary whose conception came after Elisabeth’s conception was a conception that had no sensation of the flesh connected to that conception – so we are being shown by the seventh angel a mystery of this end time hour of the baptism of the Holy Ghost that comes without sensation but by the revelation of the word by the Holy Spirit leading your life into the truth of this hour.

And here this little woman had to believe something that had never happened: a woman having a baby without knowing any man. She said, "How shall these things be, my Lord?"

I PETER 1:23

     23   Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

The new birth of this bride age hour comes by the seed of the revealing of the word of this hour. That is why only the elect of God can be truly born again, because they are the only ones with the capacity to receive the word for their age.

140-1   SMYRNAEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.4

To further bring out what we have just said, and to also use a Scripture that should be borne in mind as we talk about who it is that is baptized with the Holy Ghost, see what Jesus says in John 6:45,

"It is written in the prophets, And they shall All be taught of God."

But turn to Isaiah 54:13 whence this is taken and it reads,

"And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord."

The ALL of God are the CHILDREN of God. Thus it is that the evidence of being a true child of God, (he whom the Spirit has come upon and in-dwells) is again set forth as one taught the Word by the Holy Ghost.

143-2   SMYRNAEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.4

In every age, (and every age is the age of the Holy Ghost for the true believer)--I say, in every age the evidence was the same. Those who had the Spirit, the Teacher, heard the Word, and that Spirit in them took the Word and taught it (revealed it) to them; and they were of the group that heard the messenger and his message and took it and lived it.

The works that Christ did by fulfilling every word prophesied of him for that hour, you will live out the word prophesied for this hour.

155-1   SMYRNAEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.4

Now we have been constantly saying that the true evidence of being baptized with the Holy Ghost is for the believer to receive the Word for the age in which he lives.

**Any religion without emotion is dead, and so as human beings we love to feel the spirit of God move in our lives – and God knows that, and He blesses us with those experiences, but the real truth about God is that the bible didn’t say that in the beginning was a feeling, and the feeling was with God, and the feeling was God, but it said that “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God” – and so the genuine thing is to be able to receive the word for your age - to be able to agree with it, because Jesus said that the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and life, because if you are able to agree with the word, then that is the evidence of the spirit that you have inside of you – and that is the real evidence of the new birth in this hour.
