<TITLE>02. Par 6-9</TITLE>L-6 Now, in--in Washington, DC I--I... My name is recorded. It makes me... they... What--what nationality I am, who my father and mother was, how much I weighed when I was born, my description, my prints of my thumb. You see, it's the expression to the nation, who I am, and William Branham is--is recorded up there in Washington. That's my--the expression of me to the nation. Now, I... That is my name.
So when God came down from heaven to be king over the earth, He expressed Hisself to His subjects in seven compound redemptive Names. Jehovah-jireh was His first Name. It means "God will provided for Himself a sacrifice." The next compound redemptive Name is Jehovah-rapha, mean "I am the Lord that healeth thee." And on He goes as Jehovah our banner, our peace, our shield, our righteousness. That's what He is to us. So we can't separate those Names. If He's still Jehovah-jireh, He has to be Jehovah-rapha, also. If He's our provided Sacrifice, He has to be our Healer also. So the Names are inseparable.

L-7 When we accept Him as Saviour, we must also accept Him as Healer, as our Peace, as our Shield, as our Banner, all these redemptive Names, God's present attitude is to His people now the same.
Now, I think myself, that God has done just about all that there is to be done. Now, first He put the Old Testament for types. He sent the law, then He sent prophets to back up the law. The law was for the whole nation. The prophet was to show the supernatural. The law was the letter, letter of the law. But the prophet was a supernatural sign. And what He did for Israel, He does for the Church.

L-8 Today the Bible is the letter. It's the--it's the expression of God towards His people. It's the Blueprint where the Church is to be built, the plan of salvation, how to live, how to treat the neighbors, and His promises. Then after that, He sends the Holy Spirit to confirm this Word. In order to do that, He sets in the Church first, apostles, prophets, teachers, and evangelists, all these are for the perfecting of the Church. That's Church offices, not office here on earth, but coming from heaven. Then in the Church, He sends gifts of healing, gifts of prophecy.

L-9 Now, there's a difference between a gift of prophecy, and a prophet. One is a gift of prophecy, and the other one is a prophet. A gift of prophecy must be judged by two or three spiritual men. It can come upon one person tonight, be on another person tomorrow night, and on another one the next night. What it is, is a gift in every local body, a church.
But a prophet is different. They are borned a prophet. And they come up prophets. All that they say must be true, every time, or it cannot be recognized as a prophet in the office. Now, God has done wonderful things for us. He's not willing that any should perish. He wants us all to come home to Him.
We--we don't have much of this world's goods, but we are looking for a City whose Builder and Maker is God. And He so loves us, that's why He does those things for us. He wants you to just believe Him.
