Expressing Ourselves to Him

PP. 106 <read>

 

AS  LONG AS GOD HOLDS MY HEART STRAIGHT ON THAT WORD,  I'LL  STAY THERE.  In  the mean-time, I GET STRONGER AND MORE IN  LOVE  WITH HIM, EXPRESSING MYSELF TO HIM. I KNOW EVERY BELIEVER IN HERE DOES THE SAME THING?

 

EXPRESSING OURSELVES TO HIM. What a tremendous thought.

 

EXPRESS:  <EX> which means "out" & <PRESS> which means by  force: Literally to press out or force out. To press out or squeeze out. (like juice) 2. to get by pressure; to elicit by force 3. to  put into  Words;  represent by language. 4. to  make  known;  reveal; show. TO EXPRESS ONESELF IS TO STATE ONES THOUGHTS.

 

When His thoughts become our thoughts that's all we can do, is to express ourselves.

 

This thought that brother Branham said here is so tremendous that I  don't  know  where to begin. To EXPRESS is  to  force  out  or squeeze  out.  Well,  if it is forced out through  some  sort  of pressure or squeeze, then it had to be in there to begin with.  I don't  want  to  address this from the topic  of  "the  squeeze," because  you all know what I believe about "the squeeze".  I  be­lieve it will be needed to bring out of us what is already in  us by  Election and Predestination, but, which we on our  own,  have been either too lazy to allow IT to manifest, or perhaps too tied to the things of this world and thus blinded by all the glitter.

 

I  preached  a message years ago about the need for  the  squeeze because  I believe the Bride is too caught up into the things  of this world and it will take the squeeze to really get her  atten­tion.  But  here we see brother Branham use and  expression  that essentially means to press out or force out and we see as I  said  before,  that  in order for it to be squeezed out, it  must  have been in there to begin with.

 

EPHESIANS 1:3 - 12 <READ> Notice how His Opinion plays a  preemi­nent role in our coming into fulfillment.

 

II PETER 1:2 - 4. <READ> Jesus could have walked a victorious Life for not only His thirty three years, but if He had chosen, He could have died an old  man never  having  gone  to the cross. But  with-out  the  tremendous trials  and  persecution that He went through,  and  without  His blood being forced out of His veins, where would we be at today?

 

To  taste  of the sweetness of the apple, to taste of  it's  life blood,  it's juice, it must first be brought through a press  and literally forces it out through the skin so that you may drink.

 

The  Fragrance  of  perfume, true perfume, is  pressed  from  the peddles of certain types of flowers. The pressure is essential in order for you to be blessed with it's fragrance.
