Living by faith

We all have questions most times, yes? About those things that God actually asks us to do, yet they seem so unrealistic or unnecessary. Ever thought of this? => 

Matthew 5:38-40 (AKJV)

38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 

39 but I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 

40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.

I have too many times. But it's the thinking that undoes it. Faith in God's word makes you do His will so naturally, no thinking. 

That person, group, friend, enemy etc that just does ill to you and they think they are so right and righteous, pray for them. I've seen peeps try to explain themselves (from the social media circle to pulpits and etc) when they think they've been wrongly accused, judged or assumed; but doesn't that just make it worse? 

Remember this song?

This does it. It makes me feel so great. After all, many people talk so ill about Christ yet He doesn't even seem to bother.

Psalm 37:13 (AKJV)

13 The Lord shall laugh at him (the wicked) : for he seeth that his day is coming.

So, like Abraham, let's live by faith.

By their fruit ...

Making The Valley Full Of Ditches_ 56-0728

Show me your company, I'll tell you who you are. Let me walk into your house. Let me see what's laying over on the table. Let me see how that Bible's marked up. Let me see where it's all "True Stories." Let me listen to what kind of music you're playing on your radio. Let me see what kind of pictures you got in your house. I'll tell you what you're made out of. Yes, sir. That's what your soul's a feeding on. Regardless of what your testimony is, your fruits prove what you are. That's right. Oh, it's the truth. Your soul feeds on something. And whatever the characteristic of your soul is, that's what it'll--it'll show forth. That's the reason Jesus said, "By their fruit you shall know them."

SINS? BLEACHED!!

"Oh, isn't He wonderful? Now, now with our confession, our belief, our confession of our sins, believing that all of our sins is in the sea of forgetfulness. He that will confess his sins, God is just to omit them. See? They're in the sea of the Blood of Jesus Christ, never to be remembered no more. How many of you women know what BLEACH is? All of you. Now, let's just take a great big washtub full of Clorox, that's one bleach, a great big tubfull of Clorox. And then you're going to take a little eyedropper, and you got one drop of black ink in that eyedropper, that's your SINS. Stand right up over the tub, and squeeze it down, then look down in the tub and find it. What become of it? What become of the ink? When it struck that bleach, it was so powerful it just took the coloring right out of it, it can never be no more. What is it? It's gone, it's eternally lost. What is it? The INK itself becomes Clorox. That's the Blood of Jesus Christ to every CONFESSED sin. What is it? It's forgotten, it's DONE, it's finished, it's omitted, it's divorced, it's put AWAY. It can never be remembered against you no more."

ZEAL FOR HIS WORD!!

"When a man is converted, his eyes are set towards Calvary. There's an enthusiasm rises with that birth, and sets the soul afire, and takes all the differences away, and the isms, and comes straight to Calvary and recognizes Christ, with a burning love and zeal for the lost and fallen world." 

(~William Marrion Branham, We Would See Jesus/ 57-0516)

WHY I'M SO HOMESICK:

Friends; we'll need no sun there, for the Lamb in the midst of the City shall be the Light. The sun will never go down in that City, And it never will, because Christ will be that Light, the anointed One. And the King will come and take His throne for one thousand years to reign.

I'm homeward bound!! :). You ask me why I'm happy? I feel the pull! I'm going up friends. D'ya feel it? He's not coming as a thief. Not to His Bride. Let's go on rejoicing down here! Take a Bible! All these confirm the same Promise!! My!

James 2:5 New King James Version (NKJV)

5 Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?

Matthew 25:34 New King James Version (NKJV)

34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

Hebrews 11:16 New King James Version (NKJV)

16 But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.

James 1:12 New King James Version (NKJV)

12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

Isaiah 65:17 New King James Version (NKJV)

17            “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth;
And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind.

Isaiah 64:4 New King James Version (NKJV)

4 For since the beginning of the world
Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear,
Nor has the eye seen any God besides You,
Who acts for the one who waits for Him.

Psalm 31:19 New King James Version (NKJV)

19 Oh, how great is Your goodness,
Which You have laid up for those who fear You,
Which You have prepared for those who trust in You
In the presence of the sons of men!

1 Corinthians 2:9 New King James Version (NKJV)

9 But as it is written:
“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”[a]

I CAN'T EVEN BREATHE! I'M SO EXCITED. RIGHT HERE IN THE BIBLE, AND SO REAL, YOU CAN SEE IT WITH YOUR NOSE :). 
WAIT, ELIEZER, TELL ME MORE:

The Rapture

Preached on Saturday, 4th December 1965 at the Ramada Inn in Yuma, Arizona, U.S.A. (1 hour and 44 minutes) 

32 Now, we are warned, as in the doctrine of this in the last days will be scorned at. If you would... Let's just read that just a minute. It's in II Peter the 3rd chapter. Let's read just a moment on this, the 3rd chapter and the 3rd and 4th verses. Let's see if this isn't right.
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lust,
And saying, Where is the promise of his coming?... since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
For this they willingly are ignorant of, that is by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and the--and in the water:
Whereby the world that... was, being overflowed with water, perished:

33 Now, we see that the reason that this subject is so lightened at, is because that the prophet here has said that in this last days these scoffers would come saying these things. See? It's predicted. The reason the people are acting today the way they're acting... Why, you certainly are expecting it, because the Bible said that: "In the last days they'd be heady, high minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, despisers of those that are good, having a form of godliness and denying the power thereof; from such turn away." Can we look for a impersonation of Truth? Certainly.

191 Oh, my. I remember just my last message in California where I thought I'd never go back again, when I predicted Los Angeles will go beneath the ocean. And THUS SAITH THE LORD, it will. She's done; she's washed; she's finished. What hour? I don't know when, but it will be sunk. Right after that the earthquakes begin to jerk and bound.
You remember, many of you men standing right there, that rock that day when that Angel came down there and that Light and Fire falling from the heaven around the rock when we was standing there, rocks flinging out of the mountain, and falling across there. And she blasted three times hard; I said, "Judgment will strike the west coast." Two days after that Alaska almost sunk.

Friends, this Message of the Hour I make noise about here. the message as He came to William Branham is to bring you back to the Apostolic Faith and it is in this Faith, the only Faith, whereby you must be established and grounded.


"Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth"  (2 Pet.1:10-12).

The Unchangeable God

34 And we notice, people change. It's got so that people today are not friendly like they used to be. I don't know whether you notice it out here or not, but we sure notice it back in the South and East. People are changing, year by year. They're too much of a hurry. They just got to hurry up and get this done. And run down the road, ninety miles an hour, bumper-to-bumper, and stop in a beer joint and drink, couple hours, 'fore they go home. It's change, in a hurry. Where they going?

35 You notice, most the women today has wash machines, and electric ironers, and push button dishwashers, and everything like that; and yet they got less time to pray than they ever had.
36 You know, Susanna Wesley had seventeen children. And she, with them seventeen children, packing the water from a spring, and washing on her hands. And yet she could find two or three hours, a day, to pray with her children, with seventeen little fellows. And out of there come a John and a Charles.
37 That's what's the matter today, reason our schools are letting down, no ministers coming in, young men interested. We have need some more, a praying fathers and mothers is what we need, to make our schools fill up. Young men's heart burning with zeal to take the Gospel is what we need. But things are changing.
44 But we find out that the churches change and the people changes. The roads changes. The scenes changes. The politics changes.
45 But there's one thing that does not change, that's God. He remains the same. "I am God, and I change not." No matter how long it is, God has never changed one bit, and He cannot change. What a place! The reason He cannot change is because God is infinite, and anything that's infinite cannot change.
