THE SHOUT, THE VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL AND THE TRUMP OF GOD

THE SHOUT, THE VOICE OF THE 

ARCHANGEL AND THE TRUMP OF GOD

(Sᴀᴛᴜʀᴅᴀʏ 27ᴛʜ Oᴄᴛᴏʙᴇʀ, 2018 P.M. Bʀᴏ. Vɪɴ A. Dᴀʏᴀʟ)

BRO. JUAN CEDEÑO (Question): The Shout was clearly an event that Bro. Branham fulfilled. 

The Voice of the Archangel and the Trump of God is it something to come or is happening and we are not recognizing it like the men on the road to Emmaus? 

What event identifies the Voice of the Archangel?

[ 

BRO. VIN (Answer): Praise the Lord. God bless you,  brothers. You know, these are some… I must say I really appreciate sitting in your midst and hearing the things, such fine exposition by the Ministers, and especially on a subject that is very important if we have to leave this dimension to get to the Seventh Dimension; to be able to go in the Rapture. And this is actually the core of the Message. We are talking about the Seventh Seal, the Coming of the Lord, (the appearing and the Coming,) and the going away of the Bride.

He has appeared. He has been revealed. We are being gathered. We are receiving a faith and this faith is faith for Rapturing Grace. And you know, approaching subjects like these in the Day when the Seals are taken off the Book, it is necessary to take the laws of interpretation, find your Seed in Genesis, and then you go to Revelation. Because if you find the right Seed in Genesis, it will take you all the way to Revelation. 

And when we’re talking about the Rapture, then we know that the first Rapture was in Genesis and the Last Rapture is in Revelation. And then we had a Rapture between the Old Testament and the New Testament that Bro. Branham called ‘the keystone’ that ties the first two Raptures with the last two Raptures. So if you take that channel, you’ll find that everything could run smoothly. 

You know, sometimes we can read quotations to reinforce the guidelines that were given to us by the Prophet. This is what it is. Bro. Branham didn’t come to explain, Bro. Branham came to reveal. He said, “This Last Day Messenger, he’s not a reformer.” 

The Old Testament Prophet Moses wrote the Old Testament. 

The New Testament Apostle Paul wrote the New Testament. 

Because all the other prophets, they took out of the first five Books that Moses wrote and they developed certain lines of prophecy from those original five Books. Moses 

brought all the doctrine in the Old Testament. 

Apostle Paul brought all the doctrine in the New Testament. 

He was like a Moses. He met the Pillar of Fire. He was caught up into the Third Heaven. He came back with the Word. Think about it. 

Matthew wrote one gospel. 

Mark wrote one, but he really wasn’t one of the apostles; he was Peter’s nephew, and Peter called him, “My son,” which was like his son in the faith. Because Mark was writing about Jesus was lying down and holding the pillow inside the boat and all these things in the midst of the storm. He couldn’t have known this; somebody had to tell him this. And we realized that the great contention between apostle Paul and Barnabas was over Mark. 

Then Luke wrote one gospel and the Book of Acts. 

And John wrote one gospel and three epistles. James, the Lord’s brother, and Jude, they wrote one each: the Book of James and the Book of Jude. And Peter wrote 1st Peter and 2nd Peter: two epistles. Do the math; count them. 

They all walked with Jesus but they saw things and they heard things from other apostles. 

Apostle Paul wrote fourteen  (14) epistles to Seven Churches and he never walked with Jesus in the flesh.

So when you look at the Scriptures, apostle Paul brought all this doctrine. He was the one who spoke about the Rapture. 

The first epistle he wrote was Thessalonians, and in there is the threefold Secret of the Coming of the Lord. 

And in 2nd Thessalonians he continued the same  vision. Because after 1st Thessalonians 4, he began to go into exhortation, you know, telling them, “Prove all things. Hold fast that which is good. Don’t despise prophesying;” exhorting them. And when he started, 2nd Thessalonians 1: Jesus appearing with His mighty angels in flaming fire when He comes to take vengeance upon them who obeyed not the Gospel; when His Name is to be glorified in His saints. That’s right.

So, this what we have seen… We have seen Jesus being revealed from Heaven. 

Romans chapter 1, verse 18, apostle Paul said, “The wrath of God being revealed from Heaven” – Jesus with His mighty angels in flaming fire. 

When the Cloud was photographed and turned to the right, the Angels were the wig, and it was the Judge, the One Who comes to take vengeance on the disobedient who obeyed not the Gospel. That is the wrath being revealed from Heaven. 

In Romans 2, Paul said, “God will judge the world by my Gospel.” That is Scripture. Heaven and earth will pass away; It cannot pass away. Paul talked about the appearing of the righteous Judge Who’ll come to judge the quick and the dead. Paul talked about the Blessed and only Potentate, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. In His Own time, He will show who this Blessed and only Potentate is.

Apostle John, caught up into the Third Heaven—caught up into the vision rather, and saw Christ and on His vesture was written: “King of Kings and Lord of Lords.” 

But apostle Paul talked that over thirty years before apostle John started to see the visions – about the Supreme Judge; about King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

So when we see this one, he was the prophet-messenger like Zerubbabel who laid the foundation  stone. And the same Zerubbabel, (because Zerubbabel means Christ,) he would have been the king of Judah. 

But because Israel was under Gentile dominion, the  Babylonian power, and then the Medes and the  Persians, he could not be a king because they were under Gentile dominion. You see? So he was just like a Governor governing Jews: “Go back and build the temple; go and do these things.” 

   But if you look up the name, it’s really a type of  Christ, the One Who laid the foundation stone, and the One Who brought the Headstone with shoutings of grace. And Bro. Branham applied that to apostle Paul and himself: the same one who laid the foundation stone, and the one who has the prophetic capstone ministry to bring the capstone revelation to the Church in the last days.

    And so when we look at apostle Paul’s writings, he put the mystery of the Seventh Seal in there. Jesus never said, “I will come with a Shout, a Voice and a Trump.” Jesus said, “I will come again and I will receive you unto Myself.” But that vision which apostle John saw, which Bro. Branham saw, apostle Paul saw that same vision. 1st Thessalonians 4 and Revelation 10, is the exact same vision.

   Listen to this. What apostle John was doing, John was taken up with the description of the Person: “Oh, His eyes are like a flame of fire. Oh, His feet were like fine brass. Oh, His voice,” you know, and he was giving the whole description. But apostle Paul just said, “The Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a Shout.” When he continues the vision in 2nd Thessalonians 1, he said, “Jesus with His mighty angels in flaming fire." 

   Now think of this. Bro. Branham said in  Is This The Sign Of The End, Sirs?, “If the vision is scriptural, it must be interpreted by the Scripture or be a continuation of the same Scripture.” [1962-1230e - para. 28 –Ed.] He said, “Any true prophet, when he gets a vision, he goes to the Bible to interpret his vision.” [1962-1230e -para. 7 –Ed.] Because there’s nothing in God’s plan that is not in the Bible. Everything concerning God’s plan, God put in this Book. 

   Every Bride who is going to be part of the Bride from the first Age to the last Age, is in the Book. Because where else are you going to see your name? Not in the newspaper; not in a magazine. Your name has to be in the Lamb’s Book of Life. That is not a Book in Heaven; that’s the Bible. In this Day we’re finding out the Bible is called a Title Deed to an inheritance. 

    When the Prophet said, “The Bible has become a new Book to me,” he started to see, “This is a Seven Sealed Book. There are the family members in Here. It has the inheritance. It has the mystery of the Kinsman. It has the mystery of Elohim, Melchisedec and Jesus – the condescension of God.” (Historical Shift : Most users on English Stack Exchange agree that 'condescension', the word's meaning has shifted over time. Historically (such as in 18th- or 19th-century literature), it used to describe a positive or gracious act where a person of high rank voluntarily treated someone of lower rank as an equal. Today, that polite meaning is obsolete, and it only refers to an insulting display of superiority.)

   He started to realize the Bible has two sections.   There is a section where the names could be blotted out. It shows you the first birth: “We were in Adam,” and It shows you the New Birth, the Lamb’s section; where the first birth in your earthly journey, you come to a junction when God intervenes in your life like He intervened in prophet Moses’ life, like He intervened in patriarch Abraham’s life; like He intervened in apostle Peter and their lives. 

    There is a time for all of us, like when He intervened in aposy Paul’s life. They were born on the earth. They didn’t know the Messiah. They had a secular job. Matthew was a tax collector. Peter was a fisherman. They were doing what they were doing. But in the Scripture there was a prophecy of Elijah and the Son of Man, and they happened to be living in the Day when Elijah was going to come on the scene and introduce the Son of Man. And they were going to see this, recognize their day, recognize their Message, and begin to carry that Message of the purpose of the coming of Elijah and the Son of Man. They were even going to be beneficiaries that the God Who was in the Son of Man was going to come into them when it changed from a one man move.

  John the Baptist was one man. Jesus was one Man. But what followed them is a many-membered Body. That’s right. There is no more one-man Scripture for Gentiles. In the days of the voice of the Seventh Angel when he: personal pronoun, singular, masculine – one man. In the days of the voice of the Seventh Angel when he, not them, not she; he – one man.

   And so, when we look and we see this… Bro.  Branham was looking back in the Bible and he  preached the message The Rapture. [1965-1204 –Ed.] He didn’t talk about this Rapture alone. He talked about — he said, “There are five Raptures,” and he went to Genesis. What was he doing? Using Bible principle. He’s a Prophet; he must go to the Scripture. He must prove what he was saying by the Word because he came to reveal, and the Rapture is a revelation only for the Bride. Because you have to be born again and then grow up into Christ and be formed in the Word image, and then experience the change to go in the Rapture.

    So when we look and see, son of man’s ministry is always Shout, Voice and Trump. Son of man is always Shout, Voice and Trump. Genesis 18-21… Do you agree that Genesis 17 is the Pentecostal Age? I could go back in Genesis earlier and start from Ephesus. Eve was in Adam unexpressed while Adam walked in the Garden. When Jesus walked on the earth, we were in Him unexpressed. We had time and season to be expressed. “It is not good that the Second Adam should be alone; I will make Him an help.” 

    The same way God took the bride out of the first  Adam, God took the Bride out of the Second Adam. And the same way God built the bride from the feet up to the head and then brought her, a Church without spot and without wrinkle, and God performed the marriage between the head (Christ Jesus) and the body (Bride-Church), between the bridegroom and the bride, it’s the same thing happening in this Hour – uniting time and sign.

    While God is forming the Bride, He knows the time is going to come for the uniting time when He has Her completed. He can’t marry the feet and the rest of the Bride is missing. He can’t marry the feet and the thighs and the abdomen and rest of the Bride is missing. He has to have the whole Bride. He’s not marrying a piece of the Bride. All the members make up the Body and the Body is the Bride, the true Church, and Christ is the Head of the Body, and we are the members of the Body. And in each Age, a portion of the names that were chosen in Christ were manifested, and then a next Age. 

Because no one person lived in Seven Ages. A portion of the names were in each Age. We’re at the last portion of the names. That’s right. 

   And that’s why the Head didn’t appear in Luther’s   time. The Head could not appear in Wesley’s time,  because the Head is to come and take the Headship over the Body. Because when you come to the Seed, all the Life is in the Seed, the entirety of the Word. It takes the entirety of the Word and the entirety of the Life to make the Seed. And Christ was the Seed. And when the Seed fell in the ground and died and was to bring forth a Harvest, the Husbandman cannot reap it until it comes back in the same image like the first One. So when 

Christ is reproduced in His people then He’s going to come. And that’s why the Head appeared.

   Shout, Voice and Trump are not like, “Well, Bro.  Branham had the Shout; he died and went so the Shout is done.” Who could claim that the Shout is over? What gathered you? You came in the Message after Bro. Branham died because the Shout continues on in the Bride. 

   Bro. Branham didn’t come to Peru. Which church  did Bro. Branham start in Peru? God had men here  who went out, who began to preach, and the preaching, is the ‘Shout’ Message. They’re introducing the Prophet, Elijah, the son of man, and these things, without seeing themselves fully (that’s right,) because you’re growing in the Word. And then when you start to see yourself, it begins to move now into another phase. The Shout doesn’t disappear out of you. 

    When you meet sinners, because they’re elected unto salvation, they get attracted but they haven’t got the New Birth, so you pull the ‘Shout’ out and you begin to show them what God had done in this Day. You begin to say, “Separate from organization. Come out of her, my people!” That’s right. You begin to bring them and let them see who the Messenger was. 

   When Jesus came, he was preaching who John the Baptist was: “What went you out to see? A reed shaken with the wind? A man in fine raiment?” He said, “I say unto you, this is My messenger I’ve sent before My face.” He began to show to them that this was a prophet and more than a prophet. “He is the greatest man born of a woman.” 

    Why was Jesus doing that? Because if they didn’t see John the Baptist, they couldn’t understand Him. They had to see John the Baptist first to understand Him. And if they had to go to the Holy Ghost, they had to understand John the Baptist and Jesus, because this is the continuity of the plan of God. You don’t get the Holy Ghost without seeing the Son of Man. And to be certain that is the Son of Man, you have to see Elijah (ministry) who introduced Him.

   So the Shout goes on. The Shout is in the Bride  because it’s a revelation. As Bro. Branham said, “You don’t say spring stops here and summer starts here. It’s like a lap over. One fades into the next.” Those of us who have come to this realization, we still preach Elijah has come, we still preach where the Son of Man is revealed, but the real emphasis is in the Bride part now, because this is the part they have to recognize. 

  Because the Shout was Eliezer, the Shout was John the Baptist, the Shout was Jesus, the Son of Man, Isaac. You see? But Rebekah, she knew who Eliezer was; she knew who Isaac was. She knew she was not Eliezer and she was not Isaac. She knew that because Isaac sent Eliezer, she was called. She knew what she was dressed in, Eliezer received that from Isaac. Because Christ gave the Prophet the Word! The Prophet had no Word. The only Revealer of the Word is the Holy Spirit. Only the Holy Spirit reveals the Word. He’s the Spirit of Truth. Let me show you.

   Bro. Branham was caught up in the midst of Seven Angels: “Go back and open the Seals for God!” He came back east, set the tabernacle and was going into the Seals. And going to preach The First Seal [1963-0318 –Ed.], he was going to preach, “The White Horse Rider is the Holy Ghost,” after meeting Seven Angels; after the King’s Sword. And the Angel had to come down and say, “You have that wrong. Fix that now.” Do you understand?

   You see, we have to read a little closer. We have to  get into the experience of the Prophet. We saw the   Prophet, but behind the Prophet was the Unseen One – Christ. He was just the mask. The Shout was Christ in the Prophet. Because the Son of Man in this Day is not the corporal body; it’s God in human flesh. Because Genesis 18 was God in a man, not God in Jesus. Jesus wasn’t born yet. And when Jesus was teaching, He pointed them back to the Day of Sodom. “As it was in that Day” – a day like Sodom. We have the setting. Bro. John was explaining just now the pressure, the two angels blinding the people from the door. Christ is the  Door. That’s right. And they were blinding them.

    And when we look and we see how this Day…  Because Son of Man came three times: in the beginning of the Bible, in the middle of the Bible and at the end of the Bible. Son of Man came to Abraham, Son of Man came to Abraham’s natural seed, and Son of Man came to the royal Seed in the last days. That’s what I was preaching this morning: The Son Of Man And His End Time Sign Seed – the Harvest of the sons, the Super Race, the manifested sons, the people in His image; the spoken Seed Word Bride. [2018-1027m –Ed.] This is the 

How Fast Is A Blink Of An Eye?

How Fast Is A Blink Of An Eye 👁️?

The average person blinks every 4 seconds – that is about 15 times per minute, or over 20,000 times a day, depending on how long the person stays awake. Each blink lasts about a tenth of a second, which isn't a lot of time. But it is enough to clean and lubricate the surface of the eye.

TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read)

One blink lasts about a tenth of a second, and an average person can blink over 20,000 times per day.

Blink and Rest

Blinking protects the eyes from bright lights and irritants such as propanethial S-oxide (the tear inducing substance in onions). Scientists have found that blinking also helps the brain get a much-needed break.

Researchers in Japan monitored the brain activity of 10 volunteers using fMRI machines. When they compared the results, the researchers found that participants blinked at the same time when they were watching a TV show. The researchers further tested their hypothesis and discovered that contrary to popular belief, blinking is not a random action but a predictable one. People who are watching a movie or attending a meeting will blink at the same time.

The researchers also discovered that when people blink, areas of the brain associated with wakeful rest activate. It turns out all the fluttering is the brain's way of getting some rest so it can process surrounding information.

Excesive Blinking

Some people blink more than 20 times per minute. Several factors such as problems with the eyelids, ingrown eyelashes, a scratch on the cornea, infections, insufficient tear production or needing glasses can cause excessive blinking. An eye doctor will diagnose the problem and find a treatment, which may include the use of glasses, eye drops or ointments.

A few individuals who are too stressed or bored can develop a blinking tic (voluntary excessive blinking), but that can disappear within a few weeks or months. People also tend to blink more during stressful situations and less when they are concentrating, for example, when reading a book or playing video games.

Not Enough Tears 😭 

Dry eye is a condition that affects 30 millions Americans, and it's the number one reason people see an ophthalmologist. When someone has dry eye, they don't produce enough tears to lubricate and clean the eyeball, which leads to excessive blinking, itchiness and redness. Over-the-counter artificial tears can ease the arid sensation, but sometimes dry eye means there is an underlying health problem.

People with lupus, rosacea, arthritis and other autoimmune conditions usually have dry eyes. As people age, tear production diminishes and dryness becomes a problem; in fact, most people over the age of 50 need artificial tears to lubricate their eyes.

Mites, microscopic bugs that cling to eyelashes and feed on sebum, also cause dry eye and therefore excessive blinking. Although this sounds like the stuff of nightmares, getting rid of them is easy. Most eye doctors recommend applying warm washcloths over the eyes and massaging the eyelids.

In rare cases, prescription and over-the-counter drugs can cause dry eye. If this is the case, the easiest solution is speaking with the doctor who prescribed the medication so that they can recommend a treatment for dry eye or prescribe a different medication that does not have dry eye as a side effect.

The Godhead has thrown up two big problems

 The Godhead has thrown up two big problems

Problem 1.

If God consists of three separate Persons, then God loses His name because you cannot find one name for three Persons.

This problem cannot be solved. Trinitarians ignore the issue and are unconcerned about the fact that their God does not have a name.

But, the third Commandment tells us that God has got a name and we must not take the name of God in vain.

EXODUS 20:7 "Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain."

One meaning of this is that we must not use the name of God as a swear word.

Sinners, when hurt or frustrated, freely swear by saying, "Jesus Christ" as they know that is God’s name.

No sinner ever swears "in the name of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost". Sinners know that it is not a name.

The ultimate irony. Sinners know the name of God, but church-goers do not.

Problem 2.

The big problem is to explain how "Jesus" is the name of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

The big mistake was to describe God in terms of Persons.

The Bible never uses the word "Persons" when speaking about God.

The Bible never shows us a picture of three Persons sitting on a throne in Heaven.

But the Bible does say God was "manifest" in the flesh.

I TIMOTHY 3:16 "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory."

Manifesting Himself means the invisible God was showing Himself in a body that could be seen.

God cannot be seen because God is a Spirit.

JOHN 4:24 "God is a Spirit:"

JOHN 1:18 "No man hath seen God at any time".

God is not a man.

NUMBERS 23:19 "God is not a man,"

This is the problem. Jesus is God, but the Man Jesus is not God.

How do we reconcile these two statements?

In the Old Testament the supernatural God called Himself the Father (never "God the Father") and was manifest ABOVE the Israelites. He appeared as a supernatural Pillar of Fire or a Pillar of Cloud or as the Angel of the Lord.

The Israelites called Him LORD. God appeared in a supernatural spirit body. You can call this a celestial body or a theophany.

Father always meant the supernatural God.

As the Father, the supernatural God had many names. Jehovah. Elohim. Adonai. El. Elah. I AM. Jealous.

EXODUS 34:14 "For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:"

These many names were not actually names, because God is supposed to have one name.

"Jealous" is actually a characteristic of God.

He wants to be supreme. He does not want competition.

In reality, these Old Testament names describe God’s character, which has many facets.

"I AM" is not a name. It is an unapologetic statement of eternal self-existence.

Thus, the Old Testament Israelites preferred not to use a name for God.

They were known as the nation that worshipped a God Who had no name.

Samson’s parents asked for the name of the Angel of the Lord. They knew that this Angel was God. But God’s name was secret in the Old Testament.

JUDGES 13:18 "And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret?"

JUDGES 13:22 "And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God."

Jacob met God and asked unsuccessfully what His name was.

GENESIS 32:24 "And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day."

Jacob wrestled with God in the form of a man. God just picked up a handful of earth and made a body for Himself. After dealing with Jacob, God let the body return to being a handful of earth as the Spirit of God returned to Heaven.

GENESIS 32:29 "And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there."

Jacob asked God for His name. This was a great secret in the Old Testament.

God merely replied, "Why do you ask?"

Obviously, God’s name was a great secret that God was unlikely to disclose.

GENESIS 32:30 "And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved."

The name of God, when He was manifest as the Father above the Israelites, was a great mystery that nobody knew.

But God was never called "God the Father" in the Old Testament.

Trinitarians cannot explain why.

The truth is that Jesus is the supernatural God, Who is the Father, made flesh.

Jesus never revealed His name in the Old Testament when He was manifest as a supernatural Spirit that lived in a theophany or spirit-body called a Pillar of Cloud or Pillar of Fire or the spirit-body of the Angel of the Lord.

JOHN 1:14 "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."

Then came a big change.

The supernatural Father (the Old Testament God) decided to fully live inside a human body, the body of Jesus.

COLOSSIANS 2:9 "For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily."

JOHN 14:10 "Believest thou not that I am in the Father"

[Jesus was fully in the will of the invisible Father God],

"and the Father in me?"

[The supernatural Father, Who is Spirit, fully dwelled inside the human body of Jesus]

"the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works."

For the first time, the supernatural Father Who dwelled in the Man Jesus Christ, is called "God the Father".

God was never called "God the Father" in the Old Testament.

Jesus, as a Man, is not God. But because the fulness of God dwells in Jesus, that is what makes Him God.

NUMBERS 23:19 "God is not a man,"

God has not got flesh and bone like a man.

Thus, you can never say "God the Son". That would mean that God has flesh and bone.

The body of flesh and bone that God dwells in is called the "Son of God".

But there is one important qualification.

The Man, the Son of God, has to be totally obedient to the indwelling supernatural Father.

Jesus is our role model.

We cannot be sons and daughters of God unless a portion of God dwells in us and we are totally obedient to His Will and leading.

But, while Jesus lived on earth, the manifestation of God changed subtly.

The human Nature of God developed from Child to Adult. God developed His Humanity.

You are everything that is in you.

Jesus is God because the fulness of God dwelled inside Him.

All of God dwelled in one Man.

This was the second manifestation of God. God revealing Himself in the Man Jesus.

Man Jesus.

The invisible Spirit of God revealing Himself by the speech and behaviour of the only Man that God fully dwelled in.

Emmanuel, God with us.

But the supernatural Father Who demands perfection was now merged with His human Son Who understands us, because the Son is human too and understands us fellow humans.

COLOSSIANS 3:17 "And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him."

"God and the Father".

What is the difference between God and the Father?

The Father is still the supernatural Spirit.

But the fullness of the Godhead dwells in Christ. So, God is now a combination of the supernatural and the human. In Christ, God manifests a human nature that merges with the divine nature of the supernatural Spirit.

On the other hand, the Father still remains the appropriate supernatural Spirit.

As an example, you have a subconscious mind or spirit that keeps you breathing when you sleep. Call the subconscious "father". You also have a conscious mind that you can call "son".

You do not have two minds. Your mind has two ways of manifesting itself.

You control your conscious mind but your subconscious mind, in its own time, suddenly recalls facts that you had forgotten. Your subconscious mind suddenly argues with you through your conscience when you deviate from the straight and narrow.

As the Son, Jesus was manifest as the man-God.

Both human and supernatural manifestations in the body of one Man. The Son of God.

Never called "God the Son" because God, Who is a Spirit, has no flesh.

In Christ, we have the merging of the supernatural Spirit with the perfect human spirit or nature.

The "Son" represents God "coming down" to our level.

That is a reason for His baptism in the River Jordan.

(Jordan means "coming down" or descending).

JOHN 3:34 "For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him."

The second manifestation of God was allowing the fulness of both God’s human and supernatural powers and wisdom to be compacted inside one Man, Jesus.

As the Son, this is the only time that God took on a clear-cut name.

The many names of God in the Old Testament fell away and are not mentioned in the New Testament.

The supernatural God was called I AM in Moses’ day.

EXODUS 3:14 "And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you."

Jesus said, before Abraham was, I AM.

He did not refer to God the Father, He refered to Himself.

JOHN 8:58 "Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am."

That simply means that Jesus is the supernatural God that appeared to Moses because that supernatural God, the Father, dwelled in Him.

The third manifestation of God was very unexpected

The combined human and supernatural Spirit of God was then going to be manifested in human beings down on earth, while God stayed in Heaven.

God would send a portion of His Holy Spirit to come down (Jordan) into the hearts of the believers. The Book of Acts saw God splitting up the Spirit that He projected down to earth into about 120 tongues of fire as a public demonstration that the New Testament church was being launched by God.

ACTS 1:15 "And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)"

ACTS 2:3 "And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them."

COLOSSIANS 1:27 "To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:"

JOHN 15:5 "I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing."

The secret of success for a Christian is to have the Holy Spirit of Christ controlling his or her life from within.

PHILIPPIANS 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."

The indwelling Spirit of Christ enables us to do what has to be done to fulfill God's Will.

PHILIPPIANS 2:13 "For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure."

Our hidden strength comes from the fact that it is that portion of God’s Spirit in us which gives us the will and the desire to do what God wants done.

God’s Spirit wants to be in full control of us.

As the Holy Spirit, God would be manifest IN the hearts and lives of His church. The people are the church.

(Historians have never found a building just used for worship that was built before AD 220. The Jewish Temple was destroyed in AD 70).

God in us has a very important application for us.

The portion of the Holy Spirit that comes into your heart brings with it both a portion of the supernatural Spirit (God the Father) as well as the portion that is the proper human spirit (the Son of God) that God wants you to be.

Then, that portion of God can be manifest in the speech and behaviour of your physical body.

For you to be totally subject to the will of God, it is then necessary for you to die to yourself.

I CORINTHIANS 15:31 "I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily."

God’s ways are not our ways.

Our thinking, however clever, can never reveal God’s Will for our lives.

ISAIAH 55:9 "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."

We have to die to our own ideas and ambitions if we are to find God’s Will in our lives.

The three Manifestations of God are: The Father is ABOVE us, the Son is WITH us, and the Holy Spirit is IN us.

The Holy Spirit never has a name in the Bible.

Lord is not a name, it is a title.

Baptism represents death, burial, and resurrection

ROMANS 6:3 "Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?"

A corpse is laid on its back and covered with earth in the grave.

This is acted out by lowering the person backwards into the water until they are covered in water.

ROMANS 6:4 "Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life."

Then the person who acts as if he or she is dead, because eyes are closed and there is no breathing, is then raised up out of the water. This represents the resurrection from the dead.

ROMANS 6:5 "For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:"

A person is only buried once, not three times. Some Trinitarians baptize three times for Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. That does not represent an actual burial.

People are not buried by having soil sprinkled over their heads.

Sprinkling water onto a person's head does not baptize them.

"The church at one time practiced immersion. This was up to the thirteenth century. The Council of Ravenna, in 1311, changed the form from immersion to pouring."

(Roman Catholics. Our Faith and the Facts, p. 399).

Our English word "baptism" is from the Greek word "baptisma" and means "immersion, submersion, and emergence"

Thayer's Greek-English Lexicon, p. 94 Let us look at an example of water baptism.

ACTS 8:38 "And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.".

:39 "And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing."

They would not both go down into the water if Philip was just going to sprinkle some water over his head.

Baptism represents the death, burial, and resurrection of the Man Jesus.

God the Father is a Spirit. He cannot be killed and buried.

If the Father is a separate Person, then He never died and never got buried. Thus, He has got nothing to do with our water baptism.

The same applies to the Holy Spirit. If He is a separate Person, then He never died nor was buried. Thus, the Holy Spirit has nothing to do with our water baptism.

Even worse. The Holy Spirit never has a name given to Him in the Bible. Why?

The Holy Spirit is the Father of Jesus.

MATTHEW 1:20 "But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost."

The man who places the seed of life in a woman’s womb is the father of that child.

Thus, the Holy Ghost is the Father of Jesus.

It was the Holy Ghost Who spoke when He descended and rested on Jesus after His water baptism. Saying, Thou art my beloved Son.

Just like Jesus, sitting on the Mercy Seat in Heaven, projected His Holy Spirit to look like a bright Light as He spoke to Saul on the road to Damascus.

The Holy Spirit supernaturally created the Seed of Eternal Life in Mary’s womb.

The Holy Spirit then indwelt that Seed and the Fetus that formed so that God could become a Man.

LUKE 2:11 "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."

The Baby Jesus was born as Lord. Christ means the Anointed One.

Jesus was born as the Anointed One. The anointing of the indwelling Holy Spirit.

At His water baptism, Jesus received an outer anointing that was visible to the prophet John.

This happened in order to indicate that His ministry was starting. Jesus, as the Son, was Emmanuel, God with us.

Similarly, the Holy Spirit was physically manifest as an outer visible anointing of tongues of fire on the Day of Pentecost.
