Three
Stages of Life

LUKE
23: 29 <read>
If
that isn't the condition of the world today, they would rather
have a
dog or cat, than to mother a child. And
remember, the
woman in the bible always typed the church.
I
JOHN 5:7-8 <read> PRAYER
TODAY I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON A MOTHERS
DAY SUBJECT:
" THREE
STAGES OF LIFE "
Notice, the Scripture said, and " They will say blessed
is the
womb that is barren, not "we shall
say", but "they will say".
They don't want the responsibility that goes with childbearing.
I
JOHN 5:7 - 8 <read>
WATER, BLOOD, AND SPIRIT. 3 stages
of life.
God
is Perfected in three's. The Father, The Word, and the
Holy
Ghost. These are not three, but it says they are one.
3 comings. 3 exodus.
3
pulls.
JUSTIFICATION...SANCTIFICATION...BAPTISM of The Holy
Spirit. The
earth is cleansed three times...The first by water,
the second by
mans fire, and the third by God's Holy fire. ( Faith, Hope, and
Love, these three...) You have in I peter,
Praise, Honor and
Glory which is three stages of our Growth process into Sons. You
have as the Scripture says here, "water, blood
and spirit." Three
stages of Life.
Now in
order for Life to come forth, in the natural, the woman
must receive the seed first. Then the process
begins, then the
life comes forth. CONCEPTION,
TRANSFORMATION, and IDENTIFICATION.
CONCEPTION:
<to take in or receive, to begin life. > A seed being
planted.
Now there are a few things about this Conception that we must
understand, if we are to understand this process of
Life.
1)
The seed that is sewn is not the same as what comes up.
I COR
2) There has got to be an order or law that
governs reproduction
in all life.
Otherwise, conception would bring total chaos.
GEN 1: 11 - 12. Notice, God says it then He
performs it. The
law of God is only
God in action. Word and Power. And "HE WHO
GAVE THE WORD IS HERE TO CONFIRM IT."
3) The seed must bring forth after it's kind. If there is Life
in the seed,
then what life is in that seed is the same life
that will manifest
itself. JOHN 1: 1, 14. I JOHN 1: 1 -
3.
My wife and I knew a
woman that was expecting a child and she
went full
term & then nothing. Just like
some Christians.
They
say they are born again but to what. There's no manifested
life. The
woman saw a transformation within her self, but there
was no
seed in her. No Life in her, yet she could see herself
being transformed, she thought. I think she
was just eating
too much
and she got fat. But oh, how they were
expecting but
nothing
came of it.
Now the Three stages of Life is very important. You
could have
two and have a still born. JOHN 14: 16 - 17 ( This is not com
plete yet) There must be a further fulfillment in order to
bring
forth the Life into manifestation. JOHN 17: 20 - 22.
Now here it says that the Glory or the Doxa
was necessary to
bring on this special identification. "THAT
THEY MAY BE ONE". We
see it again in EPHESIANS 1: 13-14 which is the
same as JOHN
but is
not the fulfillment itself. But notice verse 15 -17, which
the Father of Doxa comes to
bring on the fulfillment.
Brother branham said, the threefold mystery was "
CHRIST WITH
YOU, CHRIST IN YOU AND
CHRIST THROUGH YOU."
The
seed must bring forth after It's kind.
I remember when I was in
worlds largest mall and I stopped at a Zoo that was in there
and
I looked at the monkeys. A man next to me said, "isn't it some
thing to think that we came from them", I looked at him,
and I
said, "you might have but I sure
didn't". My mouth gets me into
trouble sometimes.
SONG OF SOLOMON. 3:1-4
She
saw an identification and received a seed and
conceived. You
can only conceive of the Life of the one you are having
your love
affair with. It is either Christ, or Satan.
I
JOHN 3: 1 - 2
Now
these false ministries that you see on TV and the radio,
the
people come, they see, they hear, but there is no
conception.
WHY?
Because there is no message. And if no message, then no
seed. And if no seed, then there is No life.
"Nothing
outside the revealed word can come to life."
In
the SONG OF SOLOMON, the identification was external. The Life
was manifested to her, but it then came to her
and then in her.
From external to internal. This is the age of the ear, which is
the female. The Word spoken is a projectile, the spora.
I
PETER 1: 23. The ear is the reciprocal, or the
female organ,
the mind is the womb of the spirit.
The
EXTERNAL WORD comes in and becomes internal Life.
Our mt.
will be our complete identification. That will tell whether you
really conceived or not. or whether
you went through a term birth
but really had nothing there. This woman I was telling
you about
felt movement, she felt life. But when life is ended it
goes back
to gases. and the doctor found no
life there so you figure out
what she had.
I
JOHN 3: 1-3 <read>
The woman has a sort of seed that must come in contact with the
male to be quickened. The church like the woman can't
bring forth
life on her own.
I
PETER 1:23
The Word is the seed that brings to life. I PETER 1:3 It
is He
that brings to Life.
But just as the same spirit that is upon the N.O.W. group, they
don't want a man. They think they are self sufficient.
Women type
the church. A woman can't produce life on their own. It takes
the
man. A woman that tries to bring forth a child by
coming together
with another woman, is nothing but a perversion. And so is it
when the church tries to bring forth life. They can't do
it. They
are only producing a perversion.
It takes the Lord Himself to bring the new birth. JUSTIFICATION
made a way for SANCTIFICATION which MADE A WAY FOR THE
BAPTISM OF
THE HOLY GHOST, which made a way for the BAPTIZER
HIMSELF to
become identified among us.
ABRAHAM:
God's appearing made a way for the arrival of the prom
ised son.
Now
let's examine what takes place after CONCEPTION.
The next stage is transformation. This is the part
that woman
really hate. They don't mind the conception part. But they
do not
like the transformation part because it calls for
sacrifice on
her part. I JOHN 3: 3 <What hope?>
WOMAN:
At first she is not aware that she
has conceived: She
feels lousy, she looks in the mirror, looks lousy, feels
sick. I
thought when I was born again, I would become sinless.
I see more
that I hate about myself now than ever before. A time of inner
turmoil takes place.
EVE:
Before she could commit her act, physically, she had to
do
it mentally, which is spiritually. So too
we receive a change
spiritually before we receive our change physically.
II COR
ROM
12:1-2
The
transformation begins by the renewing of the mind.
ROMANS
8: 5-6
She
conceives, then she goes through a transitional period
where
she feels lousy. But there is something happening
inside of her.
I remember one time brother Vayle came to Mpls and I brought
a
friend. He went home that night and as he prayed about what He
heard , he got sick. So he thought that it was God warning
him to
stay away. My goodness, can you imagine a woman who
marries a man
and she conceives and when she starts to feel sick she
says, I
need to get away from this man, he's making me sick. Don't you
know that when you come to the Lord and Conceive of
His Life, It
causes you to have heart ache and inner turmoil and all
sorts of
nausea about yourself. Why? Because something is about to take
place. Something is coming alive in you and it's displacing
other
parts of you. It's pushing out the old man.
ROMANS
8:5-6 <read>
She who is aware of the birth prepares herself. A woman who
smokes and drinks when she finds out she is expecting, she
stops
her smoking, her drinking, she prepares herself. She brings her
whole body to nurture that. The very camel that Rebecca watered
is the very thing that packed her home.
In the
3rd or 4th seal Brother Branham said, "the very seed she
is watering will take her on out of here."
If the
woman has any motherhood in her, her whole life becomes
dedicated to bringing forth that life that is in her. I JN 3:3
When the conception occurs, the first thing that forms is the
head and the spinal cord. Then later on, the body and the limbs.
Then as cell is added upon cell, the fingers and
toes begin to
appear. The characteristics of the father are
beginning to come
forth in finer detail as the life within you grows. It
comes more
into the image of The Father as IT comes closer to the
birth. AS
THE NEGATIVE COMES CLOSER TO THE POSITIVE
, THE MORE LIKE THE
POSITIVE IT BECOMES. (the
shadow). I JOHN 3:2
It's
begins drawing forth. "DRAW ME AND WE SHALL RUN AFTER
THEE,
FOR THE KING HAS DRAWN ME INTO HIS CHAMBERS."
JUST
LIKE THE LILLY, THE SON DRAWING IT UP. <explain>
Becoming
more apparent all the time who the Father is. GAL 4:19
When people see her coming they don't know what is happening to
her, until she becomes to a place that it shows in her
flesh.
When
the woman doesn't understand what she is going through,
she
doesn't feel comfortable with anybody else, and she doesn't feel
comfortable with herself either.
When she finally understands what is happening, then she should
be able to deal with it. Oh, you may still
have your mourning
sickness. You may still go through the pains and
uneasiness, (I
used to tell my wife that it was all in her head, but she
said,
no way, it's in here.)
I
won't deny that you may feel lousy, but just remember, Life
is ¨
coming forth. You may feel like you are the
lousiest Christian ¨
that ever walked the earth, but just remember, Life
is coming ¨
forth. Stick with it. Don't abort.
MARK
4: 13 - 15, These are those that miscarriage.
4: 16 - 17, These
are they which abort.
4: 18 - 19, These
are they which still birth.
Image of the
Father.
Where there is a birth, something had to die. There is a
move
ment. Your body doesn't do what it used to do. There's
a trans
forming power that has taken over. It's bringing forth a manifes
tation in your flesh that at first is not so noticeable, but
as
the development comes forth more and more, it becomes
apparent to
everyone just what is happening.
GAL
4:19
He
never said it would be painless. The pain is until when?
I
have actually heard women say that a good reason for having
an
abortion was that they did not want stretch
marks. Others abort
because the transformation is more than they can bear. But let's
see what Paul said about that. II COR
4: 8 10.
Others don't want to be inconvenienced. Others
think it will
cramp there lifestyle. You know these are the same
reasons people
abort there walk with God. They want a religion of convenience.
One which won't cramp
their lifestyle. One which won't cause too
much pain. One which will let them live any old way they choose.
But you know abortions not only kill
the Life that is being
brought forth, it also puts a mark upon the one allowing it
to
happen.
MATT
24 : 3 - 8 <NIV> ALL THESE ARE THE BEGINNING OF
BIRTH PAINS.
Now don't be expecting an easy time of it. Birth
pains come
harder and harder and with less time in
between. Faster and
faster, harder and harder until the birth comes.
II
COR
AND
WE, WHO WITH UNVEILED FACES ALL REFLECT THE LORD'S GLORY, ARE
BEING TRANSFORMED INTO HIS LIKENESS WITH EVER INCREASING GLORY,
WHICH COMES FROM THE
LORD, WHO IS THE SPIRIT.
JOHN
3: 1 -7
If
you sow to the flesh you shall reap from the flesh. If you sow
to the Spirit you shall reap from the Spirit.
We move from the second stage of Life into the third which
is
IDENTIFICATION.
I
COR
Moving
more and more into the face, Love himself.
That transformation brings us into an identification. We shall
know as we are known.
I
PET 1:3
LET
THE GOD AND FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST BE EULOGIZED, WHO
IMPELLED BY HIS ABUNDANT MERCY CAUSED US
TO BE BORN AGAIN SO THAT
WE HAVE A HOPE WHICH IS ALIVE, THIS
LIVING HOPE HAVING BEEN MADE
ACTUAL THROUGH THE INTERMEDIATE INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE
RESURREC
TION OF JESUS CHRIST OUT FROM AMONG THOSE
WHO ARE DEAD, RESULTING
IN AN INHERITANCE, IMPERISHABLE AND
UNDEFILED, AND THAT DOES NOT
FADE AWAY...
I
PETER
HAVING PURIFIED YOUR SOULS BY MEANS OF YOUR OBEDIENCE
TO THE
TRUTH, RESULTING
IN NOT AN ASSUMED BUT A GENUINE AFFECTION AND
FONDNESS FOR THE BRETHREN, AN AFFECTION
AND FONDNESS THAT SPRINGS
FROM YOUR HEARTS BY REASON OF THE
PLEASURE YOU TAKE IN THEM; FROM
THE HEART LOVE EACH OTHER WITH AN INTENSE
RECIPROCAL LOVE THAT
SPRINGS
PRECIOUSNESS OF THE BRETHREN, AND WHICH
IS DIVINELY SELF SACRIFI
CIAL IN ITS ESSENCE, HAVING BEEN BEGOTTEN
AGAIN NOT OF PERISHABLE
SEED BUT OF IMPERISHABLE, THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD WHICH LIVES AND
ABIDES."
