Dear God, the great and mighty God, Who formed all things by the power
of His Spirit, and has brought Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, Who freely
died for we sinners, the Just for the unjust, to reconcile us back into this
marvelous fellowship that we have again with God. As we are taught in the
blessed Word, that we had fellowship with Him before the
foundation of the world, when the morning stars sang together, and the sons of
God shouted for joy, way back before the foundation of the world. How do we
know that that wasn't at the same time that the Lamb was slain; that when God
in His great thinking seen us shouting and rejoicing in our salvation through
Jesus?
And
tonight we're only got a foretaste of that great glory Divine which shall be
revealed at His second coming. All sickness and sorrow will be done away with, then we'll have a body like His Own glorious body, for we
shall see Him as He is. Here as we look at our hands a withering, our hair's
turning gray, and shoulders stooping; we're aware that we are mortals and
headed towards the dust from which our heads are bowed now, and where we come
from. But, Lord God, just as sure as You are God, You
made a promise that we'd be raised up again in the last days, and we believe
it.

God sent, on the day of Pentecost, the Holy Ghost to rule in man's
hearts and rule in his lives. It was not meant for man to rule over man, but we
love to say that.
It's a
very outstanding thing when we can say we belong to such a great organization:
"Are you a Christian?"--that's how I fell upon this text. When I was
at the hospital, and I would ask one, "Are you a Christian?"
"I
belong to such-and-such."
"Are
you a Christian?"
"I
belong to such-and-such."
And the
little nurse came in to the bedside where I was reading the Bible, and she was
a new nurse on the floor, and she said, "How do you do?" She said,
"I believe that you're Rev. Branham here for a--a physical checkup."
I said,
"I am."
And she
said, "May I rub your back, a--a make you feel a little better, with the
alcohol?"
And I
said, "You may do it."
And while
she was rubbing on my back, she said, "What denomination of church do you
belong to?"
And I
said, "Oh, I belong to the oldest denomination that there is."
And she
said, "What denomination is that?"
I said,
"It's the one that was organized before the world was ever
organized."
"Oh,"
she said, "what... I don't believe I know just that..." She said,
"I belong to a certain church. Is it that organization?"
I said,
"No, ma'am. That was only about two hundred years ago, that organization. But this organization started when the morning stars sang
together and the sons of God shouted for joy, "When they seen the coming
of a Saviour to redeem mankind."

So beautifully displayed in the prodigal son. "I was lost."
"This is my son. He was lost and now he's found. He was dead, and he's
alive again. Bring forth the fatted calf, the best robe, a ring and put it on
his finger. And let's..." No wonder when the morning stars
sang together, and the sons of God shouted for joy, when they seen the plan of
salvation, God putting your name on the Book before the foundation of the
world.

Now, the only way that you can be a son or daughter of God... Because you have to be the--have to have Eternal Life... And
there's only one form of Eternal Life, and that's God's Life. Only one form of
Eternal Life, that was God. There to be a
son of God, you had to be in Him always. The gene of your life, spiritual life
tonight, was in God the Father before there was even a molecule. See? And you
are nothing but the manifestation of the gene of Life that was in God as a son
of God. Now, you're expressed, after His Word has come in you to light up this
age.
You are
the--expressing God's Life in you, because you are a son or a daughter of God. Therefore... You get what I mean? See? You are in--you are
now made... You're setting in this church tonight, because your duty is to
express God to this nation, and this people, and this neighborhood where you
associate. Wherever you are, God knew that you would be here,
because you have to be one of His genes or His attributes. You
had to be. If you ever--if you've got Eternal Life, then it
always was Eternal Life. And God before there was a foundation of the
world knew that you would be here. And when the Word--or the water, the washing
of the water of the Word fell upon you, you--it was expressed in a being. Now,
you have fellowship with your Father, God, just as you have with you earthly
father. See? You are citizens of the King, not citizens, but you are children,
sons and daughters of the living God if it be that the Eternal Life dwells in
you.

Now, the same thing is this: If you are a son of God, and if
I am a son of God, or a daughter of God, we were in God at the beginning. And
when Jesus became the Fullness of the Word, then we were in Him, germ form.
When He was crucified, we was crucified in His body.
When He rose from the dead, we rose with Him. And now, since we
have recognized it, now we set together with Him in
heavenly places in Christ Jesus. See? For He...
We, if we are sons and daughters of God, we are God's
children; then we're attributes of God. Then we were--got
Eternal Life. And God is the only Eternal Life there is. Then we were in
Him from the beginning. And when Jesus became all that Word, then we were part
of Him then. Amen. There you are. When that's in there, there's
no devil, no powers, no nothing can ever move it. That's the tie post of the
soul.
You can
be anointed out here in this spirit, and desire, and do all these other things,
but when it comes to this tie post to that Word, you'll never move from there.
It'll hold right steady and true to that Word as it can be. Outside of that,
regardless of what you do, you're still lost.

Now, if you were in His thinking at the beginning, if you've got Eternal
Life, there's only one form of Eternal Life, Eternal Life had no beginning and
it has no ending. So if you have Eternal Life, you
were an attribute of God's thinking before there was anything but Him.
Your
form, your shape, and what you're in now, is just a negative, when you come up
to the--around twenty, twenty-two years old. You were a negative, and death
develops the picture to the positive, that when this earthly tabernacle be dissolved, we have one already waiting. See?

And now we find that the antichrist, in the last day will deceive all
that dwells upon the earth, whose names were not written in the Lamb's Book of
Life from the foundation of the world. Your name was put in God's Book before
the Lamb was slain. When His program was laid out, the whole thing, you were
recognized in that program because you got Eternal Life. The word
eternal, never did begin and neither can it end, and you are an attribute of
God's thinking before the world was ever created. That's the only way you can
have Eternal Life. And that Life, that He was thinking of
you, is in you now. There's no way to separate it. It's in there to
stay.

Like, in the beginning, God was not even God. He was the great eternal.
And in there was attributes. Attributes was His
thoughts. And then it become a Word
like this. And a word expressed... Well, a thought expressed is a word. A word
expressed is a thought. And then, remember, if you ever was
in God's thinking, you'll always be there. If you've got Eternal Life, you are
the expression or the attribute of His thought for this age. If
not, you...
There's only one Eternal Life, and it always existed. And you in His
mind existed before there was a world. That's the reason He said He chose you
before the foundation of the world. It isn't what we think, what somebody else thinks; it's
what God eternal... You always was
(See?) in His thinking. It was in Him to be man. That's the reason that Christ
was the expressed image. See?

But one day God called him. That's what made the difference, when God
made the call. And that's the way it is to any life. It takes God. It isn't
what you do; it's what God does. See? You say, "I sought God; I
sought God." You're mistaken. No man seeks God; God seeks the man. See?
It's not you seeking God; it's God seeking you. Jesus said, "You haven't
chose me; but I chose you." See?
So you're chose before the foundation of the world, or you wasn't chose at all. He just come
to redeem that name. And all whose names were not on that Lamb's Book of Life before the
foundation of the world is the only ones going to be
there anyhow. See? You were chose in Him before
the foundation of the world. When the Lamb was chosen, then you were chosen
with Him, before the foundation... And you're, as I said last night, an
attribute of God's thinking. They... That's the only way you can be eternal and
only form of Eternal Life. There's only one form of Eternal Life, and that's
God. So that's all. He is the one that's eternal.

Heavens and earth have met. God and man is

See, yet you was borned in sin, but God had
that attribute, and here you expressed yourself here on earth, and He comes
down and gets you. See you're back here; here's where you belong. See, see? Sin's lost its power.
Amen. That's right. The desire of sin has done gone from your heart when the
Holy Spirit comes in. You are a restored person. And then when the earth is
restored by the same thing, there can be no more cursing, no more storms, no more
winds, no more taphoons--typhoons, rather; you're
reconciled. Man and God has met.
