Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ; we are pleased to join with fellow Space Cadets around God's unchanging Word.
We present a particularly pertinent and positive feature article this week by contributing author Brother Chibueze Uzoho who pastors our sister Church in Owerri, Nigeria. This is the first part in a series entitled "Authority by Separation." Just as a man wants a 100% wife, Jesus Christ is only marrying 100% Christians. Yet some have one foot in God's unchanging Word and eternal Life, and one foot in the world and Death, proving "the love of God is not in them" (I John 2:15).
Brother Branham said, "angelic spirits stick together," and that "God's Word calls for a total separation from unbelief." Our authority in God's unchanging Word requires us to be 100% Christians, separated from the world and fully consecrated to God's revealed Word for this day. The 50% and 85% Christian is no Christian at all and has no cause to expect the 'third pull' will change them in the atoms and have them "travelling like a thought".
This Newsletter serves those of like precious faith. Whoever will receive the truth is welcome to feed their soul from the waters of the River of Life. Everything here presented should be confirmed personally in your own Bible.

President Trump's Inaugural Address declares War on the Ruling Elite as the Media and Protesters declare War on Him
January 23, 2017 — Obviously the inclusionary message within Trump's speech was totally ignored by these same anti-Trump protesters and the mass media. It's amazing how the "progressive-minded, so inclusive" left, always preaching unity while professing to be staunch anti-globalists, anti-TPP, peace-loving anti-interventionists, can turn dangerously violent, starting riots, and making threats to blow up the White House . . .
The last US president who exercised any real conscience and resolve to shake up the power establishment by acting in the best interests of the American people never made it past his first term in office. And the same criminal operation that took down JFK—key players within the CIA, the CFR and Kennedy administration including his own VP LBJ, those same shadow government rogue elements still remain alive and fully in power today . . . scheming and plotting the demise of President Donald J. Trump . . . Not so veiled threats . . . brashly hyped repeatedly by all six oligarch owned and controlled mega media giants as well as Washington's elite. Clearly many both in and out of the seats of power do want Trump dead.
Last February a NY Times columnist "joked" about ultimately halting Trump's presidential campaign by assassination. Several weeks later conservative talk show host Glenn Beck threatened on the air to repeatedly "stab Trump" . . . CNN has notoriously carried the assassination torch right up to inauguration day . . . subliminally planting the seed to incite other lame brains into MK Ultra violent reaction . . . with so many mentally unstable individuals out there, and mind control techniques utilizing black ops electromagnetic weaponry . . . still smirking, laughing and joking with his fellow cabalist war criminal cronies the Clintons and Obama at the inauguration, just prior to the one man who successfully thwarted the Bush-Clinton-Obama dynasty after near four decades, began outing them as traitors. Suddenly the smirk disappeared . . . Trump's speech was his first shot across the bow . . . directly blaming those in Washington for selling America out to foreign interests, selling off American workers to offshore foreign factories and globalist "free" trade deals . . .
In his inauguration speech Trump laid out a plan to stop the bleeding and reverse the damage, reiterating all his campaign priorities as a nationalist, clearly opposing globalism as his enemy . . . finishing the job that JFK started by abolishing the CIA, Trump most definitely has his work cut out for him. Once he completes that task, he must move on to destroying destructive, enslaving monsters like the Federal Reserve, Homeland Security and the DEA . . . Trump must also normalize relations with Russia (as well with China and Iran), and in partnership . . . eradicate the cabal's proxy ally, the terrorists, "off the face of the earth." Trump needs to revoke all the unconstitutional Obama executive orders as well as dismantle and repeal a number of Obama-passed laws, including reinstating the Smith-Mundt Act to once again hold all the fake MSM accountable for propagating unlawful lies and false propaganda . . .

No Time for Resting
January 24, 2017 — In the global Climate Wars, Trump and Brexit have given us a victory of Waterloo dimensions. But this will be only a temporary setback for the Green Globalists unless they are now ruthlessly disarmed and de-funded. If we rest and relax, we will soon be ground under their green sandals again. We must immediately deny them funds, tax shelters, manpower and legal support.
Not a cent more for climate conferences—send just one representative whose only power is to "vote no to everything." Rescind or ignore past climate "agreements," de-fund all UN/IPCC activities, remove all green energy subsidies and mandates and halve government funding of the ABC, BBC and all other GreenBC's. Subtract all "climate aid" from foreign aid budgets, divert all climate research funding to weather-proofing infrastructure, and replace green propaganda with hard science in education agendas.
Starved of public funding and propaganda, and with constant fire at their flanks with bullets of truth, the "invincible" green army will soon falter and run. Chase them all the way back to Paris. Give them no rest until their infamous Grab for Global Power called the Paris Climate Treaty is rejected, never to rise again. Full story: carbon-sense.com

Operation Barbarossa II: the Yanks in their Armoured Parade
January 18, 2017 — The recent illegal seizure of investigatory material by Dutch police from Dutch journalists returning from Donetsk once again adds to the evidence that the shoot down of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 with 298 people on board in July 2014 was an action of the Kiev regime with US knowledge. I recently stated in an essay on that subject that it was a Kiev military jet that shot down the airliner, and referred to a Sukhoi 25 being used but I since been shown evidence that it was in fact a Kiev Mig-29 that was used. In any event, the NATO powers have colluded in covering up this fact in order to keep up their propaganda the Russia was behind it.
The situation is grave and the doomsday clock must be knocking on the door of midnight. Many of us have called for the anti-war and peace movements to mobilise but they are nowhere to be seen . . . Full story: journal-neo.org

'Stop Operation Soros' Movement begins in Macedonia
January 19, 2017 — A new initiative, Stop Operation Soros (SOS), dedicated to countering the influence of American billionaire activist George Soros, has been launched in Macedonia . . .
"The Open Society Foundation, operating under the Soros umbrella, used its funding and personnel to support violent processes in Macedonia. It has monopolized the civil society sector, pushing outside any organization which disagrees with the Soros ideology" . . . cooperating with foreign embassies and organizations such as USAID . . .
The Open Society Foundation (OSF) was set up by Hungarian-born Soros between the mid-1980s to early 1990s with the stated aim of helping former Eastern bloc countries transition from communism. However . . . the OSF has also been involved in political activities and Soros publically supported the violent overthrow of the legitimately-elected government in Ukraine during the 'Euromaidan' revolution. This has earned him the ire of Russian authorities, which in 2015 banned Soros and his foundations as a threat to national security.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that 2017 would bring about "the extrusion of George Soros and the forces symbolized by him." Orban has accused Soros of undermining European borders and values by helping facilitate the flow of refugees and asylum seekers from the Middle East and elsewhere . . . Julian Assange also blasted the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, funded by Soros, for focusing "exclusively on negative stories about Russia and former Soviet states."

US may soon face an Apocalyptic Seismic Event
November 4, 2016 — The University of Washington has already presented seismological charts showing a gigantic geological rift that stretches across the central states of the US from north to south, and marks the region of a possible split of the North America continent in two . . . this anomaly was discovered in the 1960’s, when scientists found a strange underground rupture along Lake Superior that would run south. The discovery surprised American scientists back then since there were no mountains in that area. Following studies showed that this anomaly was stretching across the whole continent, resembling in its form and shape the giant cracks in the east of Africa . . . Full story: journal-neo.org

Authority by Separation – Part I
By Chibueze Uzoho © 2017 all rights reserved
"Therefore come out from among them and be separate says the Lord; touch not the unclean thing and I will receive you" (II Corinthians 6:17). God's purpose in separating Christians is to make us a kingdom of priests and kings unto Him. Whereas Aaron and his sons were a type of Christ and His sons, the priests type the born-again elect believers. During the reign of David the priesthood was divided into twenty four courses whose heads signify today's five-fold ministry (Exodus 19:5-6; Leviticus 11:45; I Peter 2:9; Revelation 1:6; I Chronicles 24:1-4; 28:11-13).
A priest is one chosen by God, set apart by His Word and consecrated to serve Him and minister to others. The office of a priest required a holy walk and his consecration to God was signified by a garment prescribed and defined by God. Without these garments the priest was not qualified to perform his duties. The priestly garment is a type of the Baptism of Holy Ghost with which God robes us in New Testament grace. Anyone who lacks it cannot be a Royal Priest (Romans 8:9; Revelation 19:8).
Priests were to be led by the Word of God and walk in the strict line or righteousness, deviating neither to the left nor to the right. They were to abstain from wine and all alcoholic drinks when they served in the tabernacle of meeting (Leviticus 10:8-10; Ezekiel 44:21). The Aaronic priesthood was abolished on Calvary and dissolved when the Temple was destroyed. When Christ ascended on high to present His Own Blood and cleanse the heavenly sanctuary of the sins of the Old Testament saints He became a priest after the order of Melchizedek (Psalm 110:4; Hebrews 5:5 – 7:28). Since Pentecost all born-again Christians are "kings and priests unto God" (II Corinthians 5:18-21; I Peter 2:9; Revelation 1:6) but with no sacerdotal functions because "the body of Jesus Christ was sacrificed once and for all" (Hebrews 10:4-10). As a priest each Christian is without condemnation in the Presence of God offering the sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving in grateful service from day to day. We are a royal priesthood after the order of Melchizedek because Jesus magnified the Law and made it glorious; and as Eve was "in Adam in the day when they were created" (Genesis 5:2) we were Attributes in the Logos or Word before it was made flesh and dwelt among us (Isaiah 42:21; Matthew 27:46, 50-51; Hebrews 6:19-20).
Brother Branham said, "Jesus, His Name on earth was Redeemer, Jesus. When He was on earth, He was the Redeemer; that's true. But when He conquered death and hell, and overcome them, and ascended on high, He received a new Name. That's the reason they holler the way they do and don't get nothing; it'll be revealed in the thunders" (The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 158:4). Notice Jesus received His new Name about 2,000 years ago. He is Prophet, Priest and King—Melchizedek. Returning home after conquering the Serpent's seed Abram gave Melchizedek tithes of all the spoils of victory and Melchizedek served Abram communion (Genesis 14:17-20). In like manner once the battle against Satan, the rider of the four horses of Revelation 6, is won, our Melchizedek in glorified (once virgin-born) human flesh will serve us communion at the (Gk.) 'bema' or judgment seat when He commends and introduces us to our brethren.
Through our invisible marriage union we are one with Melchizedek—priests and kings, and as His Wife we bear His new Name. Every married woman knows the Name of her Husband which can hardly be kept secret from her; hence the revelation of Seven Thunders has revealed His new Name—our new Name to us.
Brother Branham said, "He redeemed us for a purpose. He bought us for a purpose. We are kings, spiritual kings. Oh, we are going to be kings upon the earth with Him when He sits upon His throne. But now we are spiritual kings and we reign over a spiritual kingdom . . . Spending our lives as a sweet offering unto Him. Worshipping Him in Spirit and in truth; interceding and petitioning. Priests and kings unto God. We are a peculiar people zealous of good works, created in Him to be children like unto our Father; no wonder the world does not appeal to us" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 35:4 – 36:1). As priests our calling for separation is to offer spiritual sacrifices to God. ". . . You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvellous Light" (I Peter 2:5:9). "Through our Lord Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, which is the fruit of lips that confess His Name" (Hebrews 13:15).
Since the denominations rejected the Revelation of Jesus Christ, putting Him without their apostate camps, He has been calling the virgins out to meet Him (Matthew 25:6; Revelation 3:20; 18:4). This is a phase of separation! The end-time Message demands a total separation from denominational unbelief, therefore we minister as priests from without to souls imprisoned within those walled cities, calling out modern Rahab's bound within denominational Jericho's into the liberty of Jesus Christ. Those who refuse the midnight cry are "the total lost".
Since Christ has magnified our priestly calling we willingly abstain from strong drinks and wine except at the Lord's Supper where partaking symbolizes oneness with Him in Word and Spirit. The Old Testament priest was restricted from imbibing wine on the days of his ministry in the tabernacle or temple but as Christians we are always on duty and our priesthood is of a far higher order than the Aaronic priesthood. We enter and remain permanently in His Presence by the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. Our authority comes from our separation as Sampson's strength was drawn from consecration to his Nazarite vow. In our separation we must recognize and understand our true authority. Demons will flee at the exercise of our God-given authority when they see our consecrated life, even as Jairus the leader of the synagogue whose daughter was sick understood the authority of Jesus Christ (Matthew 5:21-43). When we become consecrated like Paul and Brother Branham, demons will know that we are vessels of divinity; men and women of authority (Matthew 9:18-26; Mark 9:23-29; Acts 19:15).
Revelation 10:8-11 shows us how to consecrate ourselves in this age. We are commanded, "Go and take the little Book which is open in the hand of Christ, and eat it up." This is the Book of our authority: that authority comes when revelation of the mysteries of the kingdom moves us into separation by consecration in desperation and perseverance to share Enoch's testimony, "that we please God." We should ask and take this little Book from Christ with authority: "Give me the little Book;" it is our birthright and authority to judge this evil age. "For the Word of God [that finished the mystery of God by the revelation of the Seven Thunders] is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart" (Hebrews 4:12).
As God had instructed Joshua, He told Brother Branham "be strong and very courageous": if you get the people to believe you and are sincere when you pray, nothing will stand before your prayer. Yet there are some among us who despise the mysteries and say, "just preach repentance leave the mysteries alone because they bring discord." But Jesus told us, "It is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven but to them it is not given" (Deuteronomy 29:29; Matthew 13:11; II Peter 1:2).
These mysteries in the little Book prepare us for the 'third-pull' which will vindicate our separation and consecration by our translation. If we have obtained the revelation contained in the opening of the Seven Seals, in other words, if we have the Seven Thunders revelation, not intellectual knowledge or the "second handed robe" as the Prophet termed a good memory for the "letter," it should move us to desperation for separation and consecration in experiential reality. If we are truly consecrated, the evidence of separation should begin to manifest in us as individuals such certainty that we are assured it will operate unfailingly during the manifestation of the sons of God once the lever is cranked (Romans 8:19).
Before David slew the giant Goliath he was positive God was in his corner because his personal wilderness experiences testified to provenance. The Prophet said, "David was just a little runt, a little bitty fellow, ruddy-looking, kind of a boy like, little stoop-shouldered, little sheepherder," but his testimonies built faith muscles for the battle with Goliath, "a man of war from his youth," assuring David of God's Presence and victory.
Today Satan is working to steal sovereign authority and responsibility over our soul and transfer the determination of our destiny to a third party through attitudes implanted, controlled and manipulated by the worldly system. His most powerful tool of manipulation and control has been the engaging stranger in the home called 'Television' whereby he enslaves men with eccentric behaviour disseminated by evil spirits transported through this medium. He manipulates and captures men's minds with vulgar television shows that conflict their conscience when they see newscasters, film stars, sportsmen and women as role models. Rather than torturing their imagination with the surreal world of Satan's Eden disseminated via television and social media, they should dedicate those precious hours to transforming them into the stature of the perfect Man for eternal Life in the renewed heavens and earth.
We have THUS SAITH THE LORD on television but the foolish non-elect dispute the Prophet's "Christians should not have a television set in the home." As for the engaging internet and social media, WhatsApp, facebook and Youtube, we ought to be more circumspect and "redeem the time for the days are evil." School children are taught ungodly nonsense such as Darwin's theory of the evolution of species contrary to science and Biblical creation wherein every seed reproduces after its own kind. I am now growing old, but since my youth I have never seen a lizard become a turtle. We must renew our mind in order to be transformed into the sons of God. Paul foretold this malaise saying, "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away" (II Timothy 3:1-5).
Satan is weakening mankind, transferring our sovereign authority to the state, police court, school peer groups, company employees social peer groups, company employers, school and religious organizations so that we tend to depend on these organs for our welfare rather than personal industry and integrity as people separated unto God. We must place absolute dependence on God's Word. Trust and obey it, believe it and simply trust that it will work for us at all times. If it worked for Moses, Elijah and the four Hebrew children in Babylon it will not fail us. If it worked for our Brother Branham it should work for us. Brother Brahman was our example of a separated man under pre-eminence to the Word of God in our age.
The time is at hand. We should learn to follow Christ the revealed Word as our Exemplar at all times—not our culture, class, or family neighbours, or work colleagues. One with God is majority. Jesus said if we have given our vow to Him, we must carry our own cross and meet our obligations as Christians no matter what the world says. Collectivism subverts God's natural laws. Today men have been seduced into following the popular opinion of the crowd. We say, oh that's what everyone is doing; we don't want to be seen as odd balls! Christians are odd balls who "walk not according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience" (Ephesians 2:2). Let us walk as separated ones exercising God-given authority over our lives and households: the rightful authority over children is two parents under God, not the establishment. Authority should end with parents but the world is bent on stealing this away because we lack the knowledge to assert our God-given rights. Some believers have yielded their authority and responsibility to teach God's Word to their children by abandoning them for church and school teachers to seed their innocent minds with pagan myths and traditions like the trinity, Santa Claus, Christmas and Easters, because the believing parents did not sow and cultivate the Good Seed. How many children of Message believers can pray at the age of nine or know and understand the difference between Bible doctrines and that which is peddled by mainstream denominational churches? Sisters have absolved their responsibility as teachers of children (II Timothy 1:5) and must dutifully teach their children in the way they should go so that when they grow up they will not forsake it (Proverbs 22:6). In order to hold the Token over our household we must establish firm rules but exercise their authority in gentleness as we apply Jesus' teaching to be "wise as serpents but harmless as doves" (Matthew 10:6).
The true life should be by the natural law and God's unchanging Word. Sadly we are being unconsciously conditioned or trained by the world system to transfer personal sovereignty. Churchgoers are too lazy to pray for themselves and study but prefer rather to transfer their God given responsibility to their pastor; nonetheless they will be held accountable. They transfer parental responsibility to their nanny and school authorities which is why we have such an avalanche of juvenile delinquency today. But as we know from management studies man can delegate responsibility but not accountability. So we are accountable if we fail to take authority over our flesh and those who live under our roof, and wherever our token can be displayed for Christ's glory. In our separation the exercise of personal authority should be our quiet walk (Matthew 10:16). We should display our Token of separation at all times at home, Church, in the office, farm, factory, market and all public places like the slave who was the son of an African king and maintained his regal dignity and displayed high moral integrity and godly character under all situations.
In our separation we should not be distracted by concern for material necessities because Jesus is able to provide. He knows and cares for our needs; many do not receive what they need because they did not ask, or they asked amiss. When we ask, let us discern what is right and in line with His will expecting an answer. If our spiritual standing is right, we will receive whatsoever we ask. Now I am not drifting into the prosperity Gospel which is senseless and was never a move of the Spirit (Philippians 3:17-19). We must start now to exercise our true authority. We cannot wait until the time of the squeeze and manifestation of the sons of God. Now is separation time, a time to experience a foretaste of the third-pull. Brother Branham said "If God has to push a man into doing his will that is not faith." It is time to familiarize ourselves with the will of God in every thing and in every circumstance and once we feel we have it proceed in faith knowing God will redirect our steps if we are not quite in line with his will. It is unacceptable not to try. If we walk pleasing to the Lord no devil can harm us, not even death. We are the end-time Bride that will not taste death but live for the manifestation of the sons of God and the translation. Let us apply the Word now in every situation.
"Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers. Come out from among them and be ye separate" (II Corinthians 6:14). I fear too many of among us have closer ties to the world and things of the world than they have with the Lord and His Word. Unless we are separated we cannot have the certainty and conviction to speak the Word with authority as there is so much noise in the air we cannot discern the still small voice of the Lord. You might say "Oh Jesus, I have failed so often I am not worthy to continue the race." But Brother Paul admonished us, "Brethren, I do not claim to have already attained to the full stature of the perfect man—the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus which is my aim, but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind I reach out for what lies ahead" (Philippians 3:13-14). Therefore forget your past failures, your past life of unworthiness; forget your mistakes, forget your past hindrances and let us, like Paul, press toward the mark for the prize of high calling of God in Christ. Soon cometh the resurrection earthquake, be ye separated! nl960.htm
A priest is one chosen by God, set apart by His Word and consecrated to serve Him and minister to others. The office of a priest required a holy walk and his consecration to God was signified by a garment prescribed and defined by God. Without these garments the priest was not qualified to perform his duties. The priestly garment is a type of the Baptism of Holy Ghost with which God robes us in New Testament grace. Anyone who lacks it cannot be a Royal Priest (Romans 8:9; Revelation 19:8).
Priests were to be led by the Word of God and walk in the strict line or righteousness, deviating neither to the left nor to the right. They were to abstain from wine and all alcoholic drinks when they served in the tabernacle of meeting (Leviticus 10:8-10; Ezekiel 44:21). The Aaronic priesthood was abolished on Calvary and dissolved when the Temple was destroyed. When Christ ascended on high to present His Own Blood and cleanse the heavenly sanctuary of the sins of the Old Testament saints He became a priest after the order of Melchizedek (Psalm 110:4; Hebrews 5:5 – 7:28). Since Pentecost all born-again Christians are "kings and priests unto God" (II Corinthians 5:18-21; I Peter 2:9; Revelation 1:6) but with no sacerdotal functions because "the body of Jesus Christ was sacrificed once and for all" (Hebrews 10:4-10). As a priest each Christian is without condemnation in the Presence of God offering the sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving in grateful service from day to day. We are a royal priesthood after the order of Melchizedek because Jesus magnified the Law and made it glorious; and as Eve was "in Adam in the day when they were created" (Genesis 5:2) we were Attributes in the Logos or Word before it was made flesh and dwelt among us (Isaiah 42:21; Matthew 27:46, 50-51; Hebrews 6:19-20).
Brother Branham said, "Jesus, His Name on earth was Redeemer, Jesus. When He was on earth, He was the Redeemer; that's true. But when He conquered death and hell, and overcome them, and ascended on high, He received a new Name. That's the reason they holler the way they do and don't get nothing; it'll be revealed in the thunders" (The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 158:4). Notice Jesus received His new Name about 2,000 years ago. He is Prophet, Priest and King—Melchizedek. Returning home after conquering the Serpent's seed Abram gave Melchizedek tithes of all the spoils of victory and Melchizedek served Abram communion (Genesis 14:17-20). In like manner once the battle against Satan, the rider of the four horses of Revelation 6, is won, our Melchizedek in glorified (once virgin-born) human flesh will serve us communion at the (Gk.) 'bema' or judgment seat when He commends and introduces us to our brethren. Through our invisible marriage union we are one with Melchizedek—priests and kings, and as His Wife we bear His new Name. Every married woman knows the Name of her Husband which can hardly be kept secret from her; hence the revelation of Seven Thunders has revealed His new Name—our new Name to us.
Brother Branham said, "He redeemed us for a purpose. He bought us for a purpose. We are kings, spiritual kings. Oh, we are going to be kings upon the earth with Him when He sits upon His throne. But now we are spiritual kings and we reign over a spiritual kingdom . . . Spending our lives as a sweet offering unto Him. Worshipping Him in Spirit and in truth; interceding and petitioning. Priests and kings unto God. We are a peculiar people zealous of good works, created in Him to be children like unto our Father; no wonder the world does not appeal to us" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 35:4 – 36:1). As priests our calling for separation is to offer spiritual sacrifices to God. ". . . You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvellous Light" (I Peter 2:5:9). "Through our Lord Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, which is the fruit of lips that confess His Name" (Hebrews 13:15).
Since the denominations rejected the Revelation of Jesus Christ, putting Him without their apostate camps, He has been calling the virgins out to meet Him (Matthew 25:6; Revelation 3:20; 18:4). This is a phase of separation! The end-time Message demands a total separation from denominational unbelief, therefore we minister as priests from without to souls imprisoned within those walled cities, calling out modern Rahab's bound within denominational Jericho's into the liberty of Jesus Christ. Those who refuse the midnight cry are "the total lost".
Since Christ has magnified our priestly calling we willingly abstain from strong drinks and wine except at the Lord's Supper where partaking symbolizes oneness with Him in Word and Spirit. The Old Testament priest was restricted from imbibing wine on the days of his ministry in the tabernacle or temple but as Christians we are always on duty and our priesthood is of a far higher order than the Aaronic priesthood. We enter and remain permanently in His Presence by the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. Our authority comes from our separation as Sampson's strength was drawn from consecration to his Nazarite vow. In our separation we must recognize and understand our true authority. Demons will flee at the exercise of our God-given authority when they see our consecrated life, even as Jairus the leader of the synagogue whose daughter was sick understood the authority of Jesus Christ (Matthew 5:21-43). When we become consecrated like Paul and Brother Branham, demons will know that we are vessels of divinity; men and women of authority (Matthew 9:18-26; Mark 9:23-29; Acts 19:15).
Revelation 10:8-11 shows us how to consecrate ourselves in this age. We are commanded, "Go and take the little Book which is open in the hand of Christ, and eat it up." This is the Book of our authority: that authority comes when revelation of the mysteries of the kingdom moves us into separation by consecration in desperation and perseverance to share Enoch's testimony, "that we please God." We should ask and take this little Book from Christ with authority: "Give me the little Book;" it is our birthright and authority to judge this evil age. "For the Word of God [that finished the mystery of God by the revelation of the Seven Thunders] is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart" (Hebrews 4:12).
As God had instructed Joshua, He told Brother Branham "be strong and very courageous": if you get the people to believe you and are sincere when you pray, nothing will stand before your prayer. Yet there are some among us who despise the mysteries and say, "just preach repentance leave the mysteries alone because they bring discord." But Jesus told us, "It is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven but to them it is not given" (Deuteronomy 29:29; Matthew 13:11; II Peter 1:2).
These mysteries in the little Book prepare us for the 'third-pull' which will vindicate our separation and consecration by our translation. If we have obtained the revelation contained in the opening of the Seven Seals, in other words, if we have the Seven Thunders revelation, not intellectual knowledge or the "second handed robe" as the Prophet termed a good memory for the "letter," it should move us to desperation for separation and consecration in experiential reality. If we are truly consecrated, the evidence of separation should begin to manifest in us as individuals such certainty that we are assured it will operate unfailingly during the manifestation of the sons of God once the lever is cranked (Romans 8:19).
Before David slew the giant Goliath he was positive God was in his corner because his personal wilderness experiences testified to provenance. The Prophet said, "David was just a little runt, a little bitty fellow, ruddy-looking, kind of a boy like, little stoop-shouldered, little sheepherder," but his testimonies built faith muscles for the battle with Goliath, "a man of war from his youth," assuring David of God's Presence and victory.
Today Satan is working to steal sovereign authority and responsibility over our soul and transfer the determination of our destiny to a third party through attitudes implanted, controlled and manipulated by the worldly system. His most powerful tool of manipulation and control has been the engaging stranger in the home called 'Television' whereby he enslaves men with eccentric behaviour disseminated by evil spirits transported through this medium. He manipulates and captures men's minds with vulgar television shows that conflict their conscience when they see newscasters, film stars, sportsmen and women as role models. Rather than torturing their imagination with the surreal world of Satan's Eden disseminated via television and social media, they should dedicate those precious hours to transforming them into the stature of the perfect Man for eternal Life in the renewed heavens and earth.
We have THUS SAITH THE LORD on television but the foolish non-elect dispute the Prophet's "Christians should not have a television set in the home." As for the engaging internet and social media, WhatsApp, facebook and Youtube, we ought to be more circumspect and "redeem the time for the days are evil." School children are taught ungodly nonsense such as Darwin's theory of the evolution of species contrary to science and Biblical creation wherein every seed reproduces after its own kind. I am now growing old, but since my youth I have never seen a lizard become a turtle. We must renew our mind in order to be transformed into the sons of God. Paul foretold this malaise saying, "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away" (II Timothy 3:1-5).
Satan is weakening mankind, transferring our sovereign authority to the state, police court, school peer groups, company employees social peer groups, company employers, school and religious organizations so that we tend to depend on these organs for our welfare rather than personal industry and integrity as people separated unto God. We must place absolute dependence on God's Word. Trust and obey it, believe it and simply trust that it will work for us at all times. If it worked for Moses, Elijah and the four Hebrew children in Babylon it will not fail us. If it worked for our Brother Branham it should work for us. Brother Brahman was our example of a separated man under pre-eminence to the Word of God in our age.
The time is at hand. We should learn to follow Christ the revealed Word as our Exemplar at all times—not our culture, class, or family neighbours, or work colleagues. One with God is majority. Jesus said if we have given our vow to Him, we must carry our own cross and meet our obligations as Christians no matter what the world says. Collectivism subverts God's natural laws. Today men have been seduced into following the popular opinion of the crowd. We say, oh that's what everyone is doing; we don't want to be seen as odd balls! Christians are odd balls who "walk not according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience" (Ephesians 2:2). Let us walk as separated ones exercising God-given authority over our lives and households: the rightful authority over children is two parents under God, not the establishment. Authority should end with parents but the world is bent on stealing this away because we lack the knowledge to assert our God-given rights. Some believers have yielded their authority and responsibility to teach God's Word to their children by abandoning them for church and school teachers to seed their innocent minds with pagan myths and traditions like the trinity, Santa Claus, Christmas and Easters, because the believing parents did not sow and cultivate the Good Seed. How many children of Message believers can pray at the age of nine or know and understand the difference between Bible doctrines and that which is peddled by mainstream denominational churches? Sisters have absolved their responsibility as teachers of children (II Timothy 1:5) and must dutifully teach their children in the way they should go so that when they grow up they will not forsake it (Proverbs 22:6). In order to hold the Token over our household we must establish firm rules but exercise their authority in gentleness as we apply Jesus' teaching to be "wise as serpents but harmless as doves" (Matthew 10:6).
The true life should be by the natural law and God's unchanging Word. Sadly we are being unconsciously conditioned or trained by the world system to transfer personal sovereignty. Churchgoers are too lazy to pray for themselves and study but prefer rather to transfer their God given responsibility to their pastor; nonetheless they will be held accountable. They transfer parental responsibility to their nanny and school authorities which is why we have such an avalanche of juvenile delinquency today. But as we know from management studies man can delegate responsibility but not accountability. So we are accountable if we fail to take authority over our flesh and those who live under our roof, and wherever our token can be displayed for Christ's glory. In our separation the exercise of personal authority should be our quiet walk (Matthew 10:16). We should display our Token of separation at all times at home, Church, in the office, farm, factory, market and all public places like the slave who was the son of an African king and maintained his regal dignity and displayed high moral integrity and godly character under all situations.
In our separation we should not be distracted by concern for material necessities because Jesus is able to provide. He knows and cares for our needs; many do not receive what they need because they did not ask, or they asked amiss. When we ask, let us discern what is right and in line with His will expecting an answer. If our spiritual standing is right, we will receive whatsoever we ask. Now I am not drifting into the prosperity Gospel which is senseless and was never a move of the Spirit (Philippians 3:17-19). We must start now to exercise our true authority. We cannot wait until the time of the squeeze and manifestation of the sons of God. Now is separation time, a time to experience a foretaste of the third-pull. Brother Branham said "If God has to push a man into doing his will that is not faith." It is time to familiarize ourselves with the will of God in every thing and in every circumstance and once we feel we have it proceed in faith knowing God will redirect our steps if we are not quite in line with his will. It is unacceptable not to try. If we walk pleasing to the Lord no devil can harm us, not even death. We are the end-time Bride that will not taste death but live for the manifestation of the sons of God and the translation. Let us apply the Word now in every situation.
"Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers. Come out from among them and be ye separate" (II Corinthians 6:14). I fear too many of among us have closer ties to the world and things of the world than they have with the Lord and His Word. Unless we are separated we cannot have the certainty and conviction to speak the Word with authority as there is so much noise in the air we cannot discern the still small voice of the Lord. You might say "Oh Jesus, I have failed so often I am not worthy to continue the race." But Brother Paul admonished us, "Brethren, I do not claim to have already attained to the full stature of the perfect man—the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus which is my aim, but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind I reach out for what lies ahead" (Philippians 3:13-14). Therefore forget your past failures, your past life of unworthiness; forget your mistakes, forget your past hindrances and let us, like Paul, press toward the mark for the prize of high calling of God in Christ. Soon cometh the resurrection earthquake, be ye separated! nl960.htm
