Circular October 2013
Many “message believers” only speak about things that happened at the time of the prophet, but not about what God is doing today. This is an outright deception of the people of God. What God did in the past was the preparation for what He is doing now.
Those who cannot believe that there is a continuation after the ministry of Brother Branham, which leads into the completion, are bypassing it in contempt. The following Word is fulfilled with them: “Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.” (Acts 13:41).
Often enough, Brother Branham said with varying word choice, “People are talking about what God has done, waiting for what He is going to do, but bypassing what He is presently doing.”
In addition to that, there is the doctrine that the prophet will return to complete his ministry in the tent. This is also deception of the faithful. Only those who are connected to what God is presently doing can truly recognize what God has done and will witness it when the Lord rises up and completes His work of redemption Himself, just as He completed His work of creation.
“For the Lord shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.” (Isa 28:21).
“For thus saith the Lord of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land …” (Hag 2:6).
“Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.” (Heb 12:26).
Thank God for the calling and commission of the promised prophet for this time. What the Lord said in Mt 10:40-41 is for ever valid: “He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward …” Our hearts have been returned to the original faith of the apostles and prophets. Amen. The Bride of Christ will be a pure Word-Bride, just as the Bridegroom was the Word made flesh. Brother Branham saw that the Bride was out of step temporarily and behaved very shamefully, but then she was brought back into step again. This is happening now with all those who surrender themselves completely to Christ, the Head of the Church.
“And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.” (Rev 19:8).
“And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.” (Mt 25:10).
