<TITLE>09. Par 90-101</TITLE>L-90 The Word of God says, in Hebrews, the 4th chapter, that... He says this, "The Word of God is more powerful and sharper than a two-edged sword, cutting to the asunder of the marrow of the bone, and a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." It's the Word! And every time that a prophet came, he come with the Word, and he was the Word for that age. And what did it do? A prophesier who discerned the thoughts that was in the heart.

L-91 It done it in Jesus Christ because He was the fulness of the Word.

L-92   And Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man." The Spirit of God would come upon the earth in a form of human beings, God manifested in human flesh (Amen! Do you see it?), and would do the same thing that God did in human flesh at Sodom. Remember, they were waiting for a promised son. And, right after that, the promised son came. That was the last sign that Sodom and Abraham's group saw before the promised son arrived. Did you notice that? And now the Church spiritual has come to that hour.

L-93 Somebody said, "Brother Branham, did you say 'that was God'?"

L-94 The Bible said, It was God! It don't need no interpreting. He's Elohim. That's what Abraham called Him. Any Bible reader knows that. Elohim, "the all-sufficient One." He was the First, the Last; the Beginning, the End. Elohim! Abraham called Him "Elohim." God (in capital letters in the Hebrew), Elohim; just like in the beginning, "God," Elohim.

L-95 He was Elohim manifested in human flesh, wearing human clothes, eating human's food. Amen! A sign that in the last days that God will appear again among His people in human flesh! Amen! Jesus said, "The works that I do shall you do also. And as it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man." Amen! That don't need no interpreting; it needs manifestation, that's what it needs. Amen. Do you believe that?
Let's bow our heads.

L-96   Our Heavenly Father, we give to You Thy promise tonight that You said these things. You promised them. There's no one can make Your Word live but You. You said, "Let there be light," and there was light. No one has to interpret that, it was manifested.

L-97 As we quoted Isaiah, the prophet, "A virgin shall conceive," she did; doesn't need any manifestation, she did it. That's what happened.

L-98 You said, when He come He'd be born in Bethlehem, "Out of Bethlehem, Judaea. Art thou not the least among all the princes of Judah, of Israel? But out of thee shall come the Ruler of My people."

L-99 The things that He would do, what He would cry at the cross, how He'd be condemned, pierced His feet and His hands; "He was wounded for our transgressions, and bruised for our iniquity; chastisement of our peace upon Him; with His stripes we were healed."

L-100   How that David said, "I'll not leave His soul in hell, neither will I suffer My Holy One to see corruption." And on the third day, before the seventy-two hours could set in to corrupt His body, the Word of God said, "He'll raise up." (They said they stole His body away; they still believe it.) But we believe, Lord, Your Word! It was manifested. Jesus Christ raised up and He said, "I'll... Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world."

L-101 We believe that You're here tonight. We believe that You're just as much Jesus Christ tonight, here, as You ever was. And You're only looking for eyes, arms, legs, mouth, souls, bodies, that You can use to manifest Yourself. God, sanctify us tonight, that we might see the living Jesus Christ living among us. Let Him come! Then will come to pass, like the hunger of those Greeks who came that day, and said, "Sir, we would see Jesus." And they got to see Him. Oh, what a thrill it must have been when they looked upon Him!
