Resurrected ) - Samuel Dale
II TIMOTHY 1:9
9 Who hath saved us, and called [us] with an
holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and
grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
II TIMOTHY 1:10
10 But is now made manifest by the appearing
of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished
death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
EPHESIANS 2:1
1 ¶ And you [hath he quickened], who were
dead in trespasses and sins;
EPHESIANS 2:2
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to
the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the
spirit that now worketh in the children of
disobedience:
EPHESIANS 2:3
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation
in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh
and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
EPHESIANS 2:4
4 ¶ But God, who is rich in mercy, for his
great love wherewith he loved us,
EPHESIANS 2:5
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath
quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
EPHESIANS 2:6
6 And hath raised [us] up together, and made
[us] sit together in heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus:
EPHESIANS 2:7
7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in [his] kindness
toward us through Christ Jesus.

E-11 And it's strange that people, speaking on
Divine healing, that they will not accept it. And they'll accept... How could
you preach salvation for the soul without including Divine
healing, for sickness is an attribute of sin? Before we had any sickness, we
had no sin. Sickness came as the result of sin.
Now, if a big animal had his paw in my side--call it sickness--and
was scratching my side and tearing me to pieces, it isn't necessary just to cut
the animal's paw off. Just knock him in the head. That kills paw and all.
So then, when you kill sin, you kill every attribute of it. See?
So, you... sickness is the result or an attribute of
sin, maybe not your sin, but something you've inherited. And so, when you
preach salvation for the soul, it has to be for the body too. Now, it's the
earnest of our resurrection. If there is no Divine
healing, there is no resurrection, for it's just like the earnest, the same as
the joy of the Lord and the Holy Spirit, is the earnest of our salvation.

E-44 Jesus said that about her in that
generation, how much more today will that queen rise in the generation that
we're living in, and condemn this church-going bunch of people, who would laugh
and call the Spirit of God a mental telepathy or something? Oh, how critical
hours we're living in.
And now, I want you to remember, Jesus promised that the
weak and adulternous generation would receive one
sign, and that would be the sign of the resurrection. The Bible says that.
And what is the resurrection? Jesus Christ, to declare Him to be the same
yesterday, today, and forever, to do the same thing that He did, or to be called
the same thing that He was, the Spirit of God being a unclean thing, which
would condemn the generation of unbelievers, and save the generation that
believed.

E-28 Remember, all prophecy has a compound
meaning. Get in Matthew there, the 3rd chapter, where it said, "Out of
Egypt I've called My son." Run the reference back
to it, you find out He was talking about Jacob, His son. But also, His greater
Son, Jesus, He called out of
Now, we find that in there a wicked and adulterous generation
seeks after a sign, and they'll get it. For the wicked and adulterous
generation will see the sign of the resurrection. "As Jonas
was in the--the whale's belly for three days and nights, so must the Son of man
be in the heart of the earth." Then He'll raise
up. Been two thousand years, and we've got another wicked and adulterous
generation. And they're receiving a sign of the resurrected Christ alive among
us, after nineteen hundred years. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.

THURSDAY_ 64-0618
138 "A wicked and an adulterous generation
will seek after a sign, notice, and they will receive a sign." What? This generation. "For as Jonah was in the belly of the
whale three days and nights, the Son of man must be in the heart of the earth
three days and nights." What sign will that wicked and adulterous
generation receive? The sign of the resurrection.
And today, after two thousand years, we still see Jesus Christ in
the power of His resurrection, standing among us, doing the things that He did
then and promised to do. "A wicked and an adulterous generation will seek
after a sign, always wanting to 'show me this, and if you can do this and do
this.' They'll get it, the sign of the resurrection."
He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, the Word made manifest dwelling
among us. How we should thank God for His great sign.

E-90 "I am the Resurrection and Life,"
and I'm in Him. God proved by raising Him up, He will raise me too. I'm already setting in heavenly places, resurrected.
It's true as far as God's concerned. "Those who He foreknew, He called.
Those who He called, He justified. Those who He has justified, He hath
glorified." Amen. Right now, in a--in a stage of
glorification, setting in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, in a glorified
state, with a power of the resurrection in us has changed us from a sinner to a
Christian. Whew. Nothing uncertain about that, no
uncertainty.
"How do you know?" It's living in me. How do you know?
It's in you. Amen. That's the reason these things are taking place. Nothing uncertain
about it: we've passed from death unto Life because we're alive. "He that
was dead, though he believeth in Me, yet shall he
live. And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die." All that
believes in Him and comes to Him, "I'll give him Eternal Life."
Right now, we have Eternal Life and will be raised up at the last days. Whew.
My, that's it. Nothing uncertain about that. No, it's
already done.

126 Now, we are resurrected today. Why can we
have such a time over the things of God? Because we're
resurrected. "Those who He foreknew, He called; those who He
called, He justified; those who He justified, He has glorified." Then we
are now resurrected. We are resurrected from the inside out, not from the
outside in. Oh, do you notice, not sealed out this way, but sealed in. Oh, my,
if the church could just see it. See, we're not sealed out; we're sealed in.
Them days, when sin was--was abomination before God, and there was no appropriation
to take it away, we were sealed away from it. Now, when that ripped in two, and
that seal was broke by a sin-offering being made from us, now we're baptized
inside and sealed inside. We are resurrected. We are now resurrected, already
resurrected. How do you know? The Bible said so. Amen. We are now resurrected.
We are now raised with Him in spiritual resurrection. What does the
word "quickened" mean? "Quickened" means
"resurrection." That's right. We're already resurrected right now,
setting together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, enjoying the Easter Seal.
Amen. That's God's true
Easter Seal. How are we? By one Spirit baptized into the Body, and sealed
eternally. We are now raised spiritually. What did we raise
from? From a life of sin; we were once sinners and loved the things of the
world.

E-57 Now, today, that's the refuge that we have.
Look what happens. When we are recognized... He was our substitutionary
death. When we realize it's not our righteousness but His, and when we accept
Him as a personal Saviour, then we go to the grave
with Him in baptism, and we die with Him. If you don't, you shouldn't be
buried.
So when you're dead to the--and confess your sins, and
call yourself a sinner, and ask for mercy, and are buried with Christ in
baptism, we are also risen with Him in the resurrection.
And now being raised from sin (Hallelujah. Now, I
feel religious, brother.), being raised from the dead in the likeness of his
resurrection, we are raised up from the life of sin, and setting with Him in
heavenly places in Christ Jesus, filled with the Holy Ghost, with the evidence
of Eternal Life that we are already raised up from the dead. Our souls are
alive tonight with Christ, because sin is beneath us and we've raised from there, which is the earnest of our resurrection.
Amen.

E-5 And so... But in a group like this it's the
closest place to heaven that there is on earth. When here we are setting
together this morning, we are already dead; that job's done over. And we
are--we are buried. That's right, all buried. And then we are...
not only that, but we are risen again. We're raised and in Christ in His
resurrection. We're part of it. And now we're assembling together in
heavenly places in Christ Jesus. See? We are in Him by baptism. See? By one
Spirit all baptized in one body, and here we are now assembled, the body of the
Lord Jesus.

days up at
Look where we were. Look where we are. Amen. See, we
were once down there. Now, we're up here, already holding the evidence that we
are dead and buried in Christ, and raised again in the resurrection, and
setting tonight with Him in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Oh, my. Every
devil, every sickness, every disease, everything is conquered by Him. He's that
mighty conqueror. You don't have to conquer anymore. It's already conquered.
We're already dead. We're already risen (Amen.), already raised
from the dead.
How many in here feels that way tonight? Just look here. Already
raised from the dead, you once were dead in doubt, trespasses, doubted the Word
of God, doubted It to be true.

E-68 Oh, we can remember Jesus in His grace, that He lifted us up and promised it, that even now,
right now... We don't have to be earthbound. See, we're not earthbound now;
we're heaven-bound. We're already dead. Our lives are hid in Him,
through Christ, and we're raised with Him, not... We're not--we're not dead
with Him; we're raised with Him, and we're setting in heavenly places,
remembering Him: setting in heavenly places.
"When, Brother Branham?" Right
now. Yes. We won't be raised with Him--we're already raised with Him.
This is the firstfruits of our resurrection, passed from
death unto Life and alive forevermore, setting in heavenly places in Christ
Jesus, already raised with Him from the dead. Yes. What a glorious
thing it is to be setting in heavenly places with--with Jesus Christ, the Son
of God. Yes, sir.
We can remember Him now, and all of His promises that He made us
while we're setting right here now.

E-40 And now today after two thousand years, we
still stand with the earnest of our salvation, the evidence, to look down and
see where we were once unbelievers, where we were once dead in sin and
trespasses, and now we've raised with Him in the
resurrection. We died with Him; we raised
with Him; and we are setting tonight in heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
already raised with Him in the resurrection (Amen.), with everything under our
feet (Amen.): sickness, death, hell, all done destroyed by our great Warrior,
at Whose right hand we stand by. Amen.
What's the scare? No wonder one of them come and said,
"Death, where is your sting? Grave, where is your victory? Thanks be to God Who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
I've fought a good fight. I've finished the course. I've kept the faith. And
there's a crown laid up for me that the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me
at that day: not only me, but all those who love His appearing." Amen.
What if He'd have lived in this day? I can't stay with my text tonight somehow.
FROM.THAT.TIME_ SPOKANE.WA FRIDAY_
62-0713
E-26 Now, even to this day, that same Holy
Spirit that has lifted us up from a life of sin where we once live... And we've
already dead in Christ, buried, and raised with Him in His resurrection, and
setting now in heavenly places with Him (Amen.), watching Him work among us.
Why? Why ain't I out yonder amongst the
denominations? Because it's those that are dead and buried in Him, and raised with Him in His resurrection... And now, not we
will be, we are now in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, looking back to where
we once come from: a direct evidence that we received part of it because we are
dead, and our life is hid in God through Christ, and already raised again in
the resurrection with Him. Amen. Oh, my.
Like an old colored sister said... Excuse me, my colored friend.
I'm going to put it the way she did. She was very southern. She said,
"Wells, I wants to make a testimony tonight,
doctor."
"All right. Go ahead, sister."
She said, "I want to say this. I hain't
what I ought to be," and she said, "I hain't
what I want to be. But there's one thing sure. I ain't
what I used to be." Yes, sir. She knowed
that she had raised up somewhere. Amen.

WHO.IS.THIS.MELCHISEDEC_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-10
SUNDAY_ 65-0221E
70 Before the foundation of the world his
Name's put on the Lamb's Book of Life. Then from that He become the Word, the theophany, that could appear, disappear; and then He become
flesh and returned back again, resurrected that same body in a glorified condition. But you bypassed the
theophany and become flesh-man to be tempted by sin.
And then "if this earthly tabernacle is dissolved, we have one already
waiting." We have not yet the bodies. But look, when this body receives
the Spirit of God, the Immortal Life inside of you, it throws this body in
subjection to God. Hallelujah.
"He that's born of God doth not commit sin; he cannot
sin." Romans 8:1. "There is therefore now no condemnation to them
that are in Christ Jesus; they walk not after the flesh, but after the
Spirit." There you are. See, that throws your body subject. You don't have
to say, "Oh, if I could just quit drinking, if I could just..." Just
get in Christ; it's all gone. See, see? Because your body is subject to the
Spirit, it's no more subject to the things of the world; they're dead. They are
dead; your sins are buried in baptism; and you are a new creation in Christ.
And your body becoming subject to the Spirit, try to live a right kind of
life...
FAITH_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_
61-0813
E-1 When you've got to use faith in God to make
it work. See? So you got your own resurrection inside of you.
Your resurrection lays inside of
you, in your spirit. Now you know, when Jesus died on the cross, His soul
descended into hell and preached to the souls that were in prison,
that repented not in long suffering in the days of Noah. His body went
into the grave. But before He died, He committed His Spirit into the hands of
God: "Into the hands... Into Thy hands commend My Spirit." So you
see, His Spirit went to God; His Soul went to hell; His body went to the grave.
Now, that Spirit that was in Him was the Spirit of God. And that Spirit in
sundry times and divers manners anointed the prophets
to bring the message to the people. In the last days through Christ, and now in
these days here through the Gospel...
