Envy

Last Sunday we focused our thoughts
on brother Branham's statement in pp. 92 of His Message "LOOK" that
he preached right after the Seals were opened. In pp.
92 he said, ""TODAY, EVEN NOW, THE HOLY SPIRIT IS IN THE EARTH
MOVING, SHOWING THINGS; AND PEOPLE RUN FROM IT INSTEAD OF GETTING INTO
IT."
We examined the scriptures and we
saw that Satan has always
used envy as his chief weapon in holding down or suppressing the
Truth.

MATTHEW
ENVY: ENVY SEEKS TO DEPRIVE ANOTHER
OF WHAT HE HAS, WHILE JEALOUSY SEEKS TO HAVE THE SAME,
OR THE SAME SORT OF THING FOR ITSELF.

This week ... pp. 92 - 93.(read)
Now I just want to stop here and
make this comment. If it never was done in the Bible then what would make
people look for it. A false promise From a false
source. It's the same lie told to Eve.
GENESIS
GENESIS 3:1 (read)
Look at that old fox quote scripture
and watch the woman's reply.
GENESIS 2:2-3 (read)
She just repeated what God had told
her head, Adam. But watch this interloper and his slick answer. Notice what he
told her. Watch his nature all the way through.
GENESIS 3:4 - 5 (read)
'YOUR EYES SHALL BE OPENED AND YE
SHALL BE AS GODS"
Isn't that the very reason He was
kicked out of heaven?
EZEKIEL 28:12 - 15 (read)
Now what was that iniquity?
ISAIAH 14: 12 - 15 (read)
Who are those stars and clouds that
he exalted Himself above? Stars and
clouds = SONS OF GOD. REFLECTORS OF HIS GLORY.
JOB 38: 4-7 says...
WHERE WERE YOU BEFORE THE
FOUNDATIONS OF THE WORLD WERE LAID, WHEN THE MORNING STARS SANG TOGETHER AND
ALL THE SONS OF GOD SHOUTED FOR JOY.
REVELATION 1:4 says...
JOHN TO THE SEVEN CHURCHES WHICH ARE

REVELATION 1:7 says...
BEHOLD HE COMETH WITH CLOUDS AND
EVERY EYE SHALL BEHOLD HIM.
REVELATION 1:12A says...
I TURNED TO SEE THE VOICE OF THE ONE
THAT SPAKE TO ME...
REVELATION
HIS HEAD WERE AS IT WERE WHITE LIKE
WOOL, AS WHITE AS SNOW; AND HIS EYES WERE AS A FLAME OF FIRE. AND HIS FEET LIKE
FINE BRASS...
( What does brass signify? ... Judgment! He's Judge!
In REVELATION 3:1 It
calls these seven spirits of God Seven stars
which brother Branham told us in the
Church age Book that these Seven Spirits oF God are
actually the One Spirit of God in seven attributes that come forth into the
world seven times through seven men who reflect the word of God as a star is a
reflection that gives light in the absence of the Son.
In the book of Jude it refers to men
as both stars and clouds and in this reference is speaking of those lost souls
who are clouds without water and are wandering stars which brother branham says are those who wander here and there and never
find stability in this word. He also called them wondering stars because they
are always wondering about this and wondering about that.
GOD'S POWER TO TRANSFORM PP. 242 9
-11 - 65
OH, WANDERING STARS, HOW LONG WILL
YOU WONDER? WANDERING FROM PILLAR TO PLACE. WHY DON'T
YOU COME OVER? HE LONGS TO HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH YOU. HE IS LONGING FOR YOU. HE
WANTS TO TRANSFORM YOU BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND....PP. 314..."WANDERING STARS, NEVER STABLE."
Now notice how Satan's own opinion
of himself he wanted to be above the stars of God. I WILL EXALT MYSELF ABOVE
THE HEIGHTS OF THE CLOUDS. He wanted to be above the very Opinion and
Assessment of God Himself.
LUKE
AND THEN SHALL THEY SEE THE SON OF
MAN COMING IN A CLOUD WITH POWER AND GREAT GLORY (doxa).
And what made up THAT cloud that came to open the Seals? Seven
angels. Seven spirits of the seven messengers which were the seven
spirits of God or the seven attributes of The One True God displaying Himself
in a seven fold mystery. Gods own opinion and assessment, come down with a
SHOUT.
ACTS 1:9 - 10 says...
AND WHEN HE HAD SPOKEN THESE THINGS,
WHILE THEY LOOKED ON HE WAS TAKEN UP; AND A CLOUD RECEIVED HIM OUT OF THEIR
SIGHT. AND WHILE THEY LOOKED STEDFASTLY TOWARD HEAVEN AS HE WENT UP, BEHOLD,
TWO MEN STOOD BY THEM IN WHITE APPAREL; WHICH ALSO SAID, "YE MEN OF
LOOK #14 (pg.3)
And so we see Satan wanting to put
forth the opinion he had of himself above the heights of the clouds or above
even Gods own opinion of Himself reflected by His Stars and in His clouds of
Glory.
JOHN 7:18
HE THAT SPEAKETH OF HIMSELF SEEKETH
HIS OWN DOXA: BUT HE THAT SEEKETH HIS GLORY THAT SENT HIM, THE SAME IS TRUE,
AND NO UNRIGHTEOUSNESS IS IN HIM.
Now notice back in GENESIS how Satan
began to get Eve to look at her own self, and to get her eyes off of the Truth
that God had spoken to her head, Adam.
GENESIS 1:5 (read)
Now look at what he said to her and
how it changed her opinion. She had just reflected God's opinion when she told
the serpent, "YE SHALL NOT EAT OF IT NEITHER SHALL YE TOUCH IT, LEST YE
DIE." Now watch her change of opinion from God's opinion to Satan's
opinion in the next verse.
GENESIS 1:6 (read)...
Now how could something that will
kill you be good for food. She lost her mind when she
lost the mind of Christ. Now the woman always types the church. And so we see
Paul warn the early church that Satan had once again come in the disguise as
ministers of light and had seduced that early church.
II CORINTHIANS 11:1 - 5... (read) by those super apostles.
Another Jesus, another Gospel,
another Spirit. And I am sure that the Jesus, Gospel and Spirit preached by
these super Apostles ha d to be a super Jesus, a super Gospel, and a super
spirit. No suffering involved. Just on top of the mountain all the time.
Yet we see that the Tree of Life was
in the garden with Adam and Eve and the only tree forbidden to eat from was the
serpent. So why did they not eat from the tree of Life in their midst?
GENESIS 2: 7 - 9, 16-17...(READ)...
Now notice that man was told to eat
of every tree except the serpents tree. So why didn't
they run to the tree of Life?
ISAIAH 53: 1 - 6.
He was a tender plant like a root
out of dry ground. And it says we esteemed Him not. Well, He hasn't changed has
He? Doesn't MALACHI 3:6 and HEBREWS 13:8 say He is the same and changes not? So
He must still be despised and rejected and esteemed not. To esteem means to
give the proper value or assessment, in other words, to have the right opinion
of, but He will never receive it from the religious world because of the way he
hides in simplicity.

Now notice VS (6). "WE HAVE
TURNED EVERY MAN TO HIS OWN WAY." That is exactly what brother Branham is
trying to telling us in pp. 93 -98.(read)...
THEY ARE LOOKING FOR BIG THINGS,
SUPER DUPER THINGS TO HAPPEN. Notice in PP. 98, "NOW IF IT ISN'T GOING ON
ALL THE TIME AND WE'RE ON TOP OF THE HOUSE JUMPING AROUND, WE FEEL, "WELL,
WE'LL LEAVE THIS CHURCH. IT'S COOLED OF." WHAT A
NONSENSE."
Then he tells us the people just
can't wait for God to trouble the waters. He said We've
gotten away from the very thing that God told us to LOOK at. And That Is to
Christ and He is the Word.
The Revealed Word of God is our only
hope and stay. NOTHING OUTSIDE THE REVEALED WORD WILL COME TO LIFE. IT CAN'T.
Let's tell the whole story.
JOHN 3;16 -
21 ... (read)
It's not enough that God Raised the dead some seven times in William Branham's
ministry, but that will never do. No, they got to have twenty and seven. And
yet how often are they challenged to bring forth proof. But you come with The
Truth of Thus Saith The Lord, and they will challenge
you as quick as you could spit. And yet the people are so gullible that they
just feed on that nonsense. Show me where the number twenty seven comes up any
where in scripture. God deals in three's and five's and seven's. why would any more than seven be necessary. Seven is
completion.
II THES 2: 8 - 12 (read)...
WUEST....AND THEN SHALL THE LAWLESS
ONE BE DISCLOSED IN HIS TRUE IDENTITY, WHOM THE LORD JESUS SHALL SLAY WITH THE
BREATH OF HIS MOUTH <which is His Word>, AND RENDER INOPERATIVE BY THE
SUDDEN APPEARANCE OF HIS PERSONAL PRESENCE, THE COMING AND PRESENCE OF WHOM THE
MAN OF LAWLESSNESS IS ACCORDING TO THE OPERATION OF SATAN IN A SPHERE OF
MIRACLES DEMONSTRATING POWER AND ATTESTING MIRACLES AND MIRACLES OF STARTLING,
IMPOSING, AMAZEMENT-WAKENING CHARACTER WHICH DECEIVE, AND WHOSE COMING AND
PRESENCE IS IN THE SPHERE OF EVERY KIND OF WICKED DECEPTION GEARED TO THE
GULLIBILITY OF THOSE WHO ARE PERISHING, THIS GULLIBILITY BEING CAUSED BY THE
FACT THAT THEY DID NOT ACCEPT THE LOVE FOR THE TRUTH TO THE END THAT THEY MIGHT
BE SAVED. AND BECAUSE OF THIS GOD SENDS THEM A DELUDING INFLUENCE RESULTING IN
THEIR BELIEVING THE LIE, IN ORDER THAT THEY MIGHT BE JUDGED WHO DID NOT BELIEVE
THE TRUTH BUT TOOK DELIGHT IN WICKEDNESS.
Always numbers. Super duper
churches. The seat of Satan himself.
