<TITLE>07. Par -</TITLE>L-20-57 Now, notice man... God knew in the beginning that He was going to have men and women, and He knew that the Saviour would be here; He'd have to bring Jesus, and He'd be crucified. And Jesus told the disciples when He was here on earth, that He knew them even before the foundation of the world, before the world ever come into existence.
And God said also, or Paul speaking in Galatians, said that He ordained us and called us in Him before the world was ever formed. Think of that. That God... Anybody like to hear what the Scripture says about that, raise your hands, if you would, right along with the question. Get with me in Galatians the 1st chapter. Looky here. I don't mean in Galatians; I mean Ephesians. Listen closely now what God said; Ephesians 1.
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Jesus Christ.
Grace be unto you, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Now, here it is; notice:
According as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world,...
Whew. That's pretty good. Isn't it? That's not pretty good, that's real good. Before there was a foundation of the world, God knew Orman Neville and knew that he'd preach the Gospel. Isn't that wonderful? "Has chose..." Why, he's a member of the church, and God knew He was going to have that church. And he said, Paul was speaking to the church of Ephesus, said, "He has chosen us in Him." Now, we're all the members of the Body of Christ. Is that right? And God, before the world was ever formed, chose you and I in Him before the world was ever formed. Whew. My, isn't that wonderful?

L-21-61 Now, the first man, now, He made the first man in His image, and we're returning back to that image (That's right.), to our first created image.
When God created me, William Branham, I was before the foundation of the world; He made my being, my spirit. I wasn't conscious of anything as far as I know of, but the... I was there. Oh, I--I don't believe you're getting it. But now, just a minute, Jesus told the disciples that He knew them before the foundation of the world; and Paul said here that He chose us in Him before the world began. Now, there was some part of me, Orman Neville, and the rest of you all here, that's in Christ Jesus before the world ever began. And here's to my analysis of that.
I think that the people today that are possessed with this Spirit, or the spirit, a part of these angelic beings, spirits which rotated off of God, that never fell in the beginning and resisted the devil's lie in heaven...

L-21-63 And two thirds of the earth is in sin, and more than that, which two thirds of the angels was kicked out. And those demon spirits come into people and habitate their body. See what I mean? They're demons that once... They was once existed and they come into the people and give them a nature. Jesus cast seven of them out of Mary Magdalene: Pride, boast (big people, you see?), unclean, filthy, vulgarity, emulations, strife, all these things. See?
Them was spirits that was made up back there when God began to make man off of there in His Own image, created those supernatural beings, those spirits...
