(First activity)
Good morning or great morning to all of you. It is truly a blessing and a great privilege for me to be here in Puerto Rico with each one of you, here early in the morning; Sunday, October 27 of this year 2024, day where we gather to be close to the Lord here in this place. Because He is always with us; but God has provided us this place, where it was prophesied that the Pillar of Fire would be in the midst of the people.
And how is it that the Pillar of Fire is in the midst of the people? Well, in the midst of His instrument and by means of His instrument, as it has been from age to age.
Back in the time of Moses, the Pillar of Fire guided them; and It never departed from the Hebrew people; and It fulfilled what was promised: to introduce them into the promised land. All along the way there were many struggles, but what was the goal? To enter. And they entered! In other words, we do not see the problems there, but we see the victory.
And that same Pillar of Fire, look, was in the midst of the two cherubim there, and from there He said He was going to declare Himself to the people [Exodus 25:22]; but to declare Himself to the people He has to use an instrument.
The same in Solomon’s temple; there we already see something clearer, and such a great revelation there. For it was from the same place that He declared Himself to the children of Israel, to give them through Moses everything pertaining to the Dispensation of the Law; but we see that in Solomon’s temple He adds two cherubim of olive wood [1 Kings 6:23-28, 2 Chronicles 3:10-13]; likewise from there He was to declare Himself to the Hebrew people.
Now, see how all this was showing us what the First Coming and the Second Coming of the Lord would be: that above the Mercy Seat, in the midst of the Two Cherubim, God would be speaking to the people.
He spoke to the Hebrew people in Jesus and through Jesus: the tabernacle of Moses. And in His Second Coming He speaks to the people…, which is represented in the temple of Solomon.
But look, now we see all that, and now God opens our understanding to comprehend how God was going to be carrying out His Work at this time, and what those cherubim symbolized in the time of Moses and in the time of King Solomon.
When you see all that and you understand at this time what is happening, it fills us with rejoicing, happiness, joy, because God is materializing what Solomon’s temple was representing. And if you are seeing that, you are inside the Most Holy Place. You cannot be anywhere else; you are there.
And when he wrote that [WSS] «the Pillar of Fire coming in Jesus was not operating those ministries, but the Pillar of Fire coming to Solomon’s temple (which represents the Second Coming of the Lord), and there the ministries are operating»*; and one can see them today in action; then one can already be enjoying inside the Most Holy Place what is there.
*[Bible Study #453, 6-2/Oct/2024 (Sunday), pp. __-__]: [WSS] «The tabernacle of Moses, the Pillar of Fire coming = the Pillar of Fire coming in Jesus; but It wasn’t with Moses and Elijah, the Two Olive Trees». [WSS] «The temple of Solomon, the Pillar of Fire entered = the Pillar of Fire, the Word, coming in His 2nd Coming of Christ, in the promised land, and 7th millennium, Last Day».
Even if others do not see it, even if others don’t understand it; but the important thing is that you understand it, that you believe it, and that you know who it is that is speaking to you today. After you know that… As the disciples said: “Lord, I do not understand this,” when they left Him…, they all left His side; He turned around: “Well, do you want to leave too?” As we say: “There’s the door, let’s see if you want to leave.” Because, you see, God will still fulfill His promise.
But notice that what Peter answered Him there was representing all the elect in every age, where they can say to the messenger: “But to whom shall we go?, if you have the words of eternal life” [John 6:66-69]. That is: “We do not understand this very much, but I know that this is the Truth and that there is a Program, and you know it. Therefore, we can’t say: ‘Well, let’s see what… who we’re looking for over here.’ No. We see the promises in you and we see that God is carrying out and fulfilling everything! Whether I understand it or not, but I believe it!” And that’s the important thing.
God has taken us out of this kingdom of the gentiles in the spiritual realm, and He has placed us in heavenly places, He has seated us in heavenly places; but watch, that does not stop there: a double portion comes, which is the eternal and glorified body, and to sit on the Throne of David. In other words, there is also a purpose at this time, and that is to sit on the Throne of David, in that literal Kingdom of the Messiah.
Everything that God fulfilled in past ages was what He had spoken that would be the fulfillment of that time. And for this time it was spoken of a change of kingdom; which is in action, in other words, it is in process to reach that moment, where we will enter the promised land of the new body; and we will be, very soon, in that establishment of the Kingdom of the Messiah physically.
We know that there are some processes and stages, which are still missing: the transformation, the rapture, the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; but then we would enter fully into that glorious Millennial Kingdom.
Now, you see, what we are seeing happen in this time is none other than the Third Pull being fulfilled in the midst of the people, and impacting, not only the place with what God promised would be preaching…
Notice, he saw preaching there. And he would tell us: [WSS] “If there is time to make a tour, then we will be giving that tour - those trips.”* And look how it is being fulfilled, in such a simple way, where in every place we go: there is revealed Word, there is preaching and there is teaching for all the people.
*• [Message from Sunday’s study, July 21, 2024]: MM 2007-12-22 “Joseph by the well,” [P. 35]: [WSS]We don’t know what that Third Pull and the fulfillment of the Tent Vision will be like, but the important thing is to have a place for God, and: “Here it is, it’s for You,” we dedicate it to God; and if it is the one that was seen, then He is going to use it; and since we also don’t know if the same thing is going to be repeated in different countries... if there is time; if there is no time, well, it will only be in one place; but from one place it will be broadcasted and they will see in every place.
• [Excerpts “The Vision of the Great Tent Cathedral - Vol I,” pp 523-524]:2008-12-20-2 “Words of greeting to the ladies”: [WSS] (…) and for that reason in Puerto Rico they are working on a giant Tent Cathedral; and we hope that there won’t be a need to make another one, we hope that that one will be enough.
And from there it will be broadcasted to other nations; and the same thing that is happening there, we will be seeing it and it will be happening in other nations as well.
For that reason God has allowed all of this scientific and electronic advancement: so that what will be happening in one place can be seen in other nations. That is also what the fulfillment of the Tent Vision will be like: everything will be able to be seen worldwide; and even all the things God will be doing will be repeated in other nations, for those who are tuning in. That's why I’ve always told you to have all the broadcasting equipment ready, so that you are always listening to what is being broadcasted from one place.
Even from some other place they’ll be able to broadcast it to that place, there won’t be a problem, in other words, a tour could be made and everything will be broadcasted to that place, and from there it is broadcasted through the satellites to other nations. See? There won’t be problems in that regard.
I thank God that He allowed us and has allowed us, until today, to be in these countries, where there is a contact —even if it is visible, physical— with the people; and to have that fellowship in the places around the Word; which has been a great blessing for all the places where we go. And as far as God allows us to go, well, we will be there; and sharing with the brethren in the different countries.
As a brother said: “I wanted to go to the Tent, and the Tent came to me.”* In other words, what he means is to be here. Many do not have a visa, or do not have the means to come; but look, one goes there, and for them that is something so great; and they love and appreciate the blessing of one being with them, and sharing even if it is just a few moments, a few moments of fellowship.
*[Study “The final revival,” 20/Aug/2024 (Tuesday), pp. __-__ ]
And the time will come when there will no longer be a need to travel, but we will all be in that eternal and glorified body, where there will be no limitations.
And before he had told us that the time was going to come where - those times where we see Philip being transported: how the Holy Spirit took him here and there [Acts 8:39-40]. And surely, umm, others also went through those experiences, but they’re not recorded there; maybe it was something more marked and there were details in there that they weren’t allowed to write it down. We’ll find out who else was transported.
What I do know is that from this time there will be many who will make history, and who will be in those books written that at the time of the Age of the Cornerstone, at the time of the Coming of the Lord with His Angels, there was a group that also experienced what the disciples experienced.
So, it’s not that we see that there and: “Hey, that’s tremendous!”, but… We make that flesh, because it’s Word; and there was something that represented it - would represent it. If it happened there…, “greater things” He says they would do [John 14:12]. So at this time that’s a sample of what an elect of God with Rapturing Faith will do today.
So, we are going towards that goal: to reach all those promises, which are for us. There is no other group. This is the end time group that has come up to the Age of the Cornerstone, that would receive those promises.
And we were in Santa Cruz, in Bolivia these days; and then we were in Paraguay. And they are truly a people and they are a people that love the Lord, they love His Program, and they are holding on tight to the promises; and they are well aware; although they are far away, they are more attentive (perhaps) of the same people here, that is, of some.
And when one goes and sees that joy and that rejoicing, one sees there the fulfillment of what brother Branham had said: of that revival that would come, where a people were going to receive Him, where a people were going to be prepared; not from - not only the place where He would be operating those ministries, but from and in every place where that ministry would impact.
I have seen with my own eyes how that Word has had an effect on so many people, where it has awakened that Rapturing Faith. Because the goal of God, and ours, of course, is not to stay here; it is to leave, it is to leave here soon.
Because look how that spark of a World War III is already looming; and the Middle East…; any little thing can ignite it. Things have been very heated over there these days. And we hope that God will move everything so that it can be held back and that there will be a mediation there. And there is a mechanism; and when all this is carried out, then we will see how simple it is: how a war can be stopped and how a war can be ignited. God is the one who allows everything. And we hope that this year, at the end of the year, everything will calm down and hold back.
It is a very decisive year, what is left up until December.
And each time, for the children of God, that sixth dimension is opening up more and more; but notice that for the world that fifth dimension is also opening up; where each time it opens up, the more we must be aware of those spirits of that dimension; not to grab hold of anyone, but to keep that place filled with the presence of God; not to neglect our most holy place, not to let anyone enter there with strange fire.
Watch over your most holy place, take care of it! And how are you going to take care of it? Well, with the Word.
What did He put there in Eden? Those cherubim and that sword to keep them out [Genesis 3:24]. Well, you are already inside and you know how to do it. Do not let anyone enter where the Word is sown, which is the one that is producing in you that revival and that Rapturing Faith.
There is a place… Well, I bring greetings from all the brethren; although you are - you were watching them on the satellite, but everybody: “Send greetings to Puerto Rico. Greetings there, greetings to the brethren.” See?, at some point in time those greetings will be personal, face to face. “Hey, I have been watching you on the screen, but you look better in person.” We will always be united as one people.
And that is something that is bad for the enemy: he does not like to see the people united, and he launches anything to disunite; because that is his way and his form. But since everything is already clearer: we are in a new age and a new dispensation; there everything is clear. Turn on the light and cockroaches and crickets come out*; but you already identify them.
*Study “The Judgment Seat,” 31/Oct/2023 (Tuesday), pp. 14-15: 65-0801M “The God Of This Evil Age,” pp. 17-18, para. 76
In other words, since we understand all these things, we see some movement or something of someone we already know; what we do is [He stomps hard, simulating when an insect is squashed –Ed.] [Everyone laughs]. Ah!, you do it - you have done it at home. It goes out running and one… [He makes another hard stomp –Ed.]. There are bronze Feet that are walking.
And all that is insignificant for us, because we have our eyes, our sight, on heavenly things and on what transcends. That is what we look for and what we are attentive to: those promises.
Look, in the message… (we are going to see here), in this message…
Also, receive greetings from Guatemala, we were there too, it was three weekends; Guatemala…, what was the other place? [Sis. Sara: Chamula] Oh, San Juan Chamula and Puebla. (Whoa! We were out a while…); in the places of San Juan Chamula and Puebla, and then Guatemala.
They have a very beautiful place there in San Juan Chamula, well prepared there; and you could feel an atmosphere like being there at night…, since it is secluded and there’s good weather there too, it’s good there, it’s an enclosed room. And even though the pastor told me that after we left he was going to translate into their languages, because most of the people there understand Tzotzil (Tzotzil? Tzochil?) [Sis: Tzotzil] Tzotzil, and also another language. So, he says: “There are languages that I don’t understand there, but they have to translate it to that language; and then from that language to another language.” But they are happy there, because somehow they have to start learning.
Since the time of brother William, they have been listening and learning some words. And they were sitting there, whether they understood some things or not, and then the pastor was going to translate for them. And they were all happy, there was joy there in the people. They are tribes and different languages, and with their chiefs and everything, in that whole area, but they have received the fulfillment of the Seventh Seal.
Notice how this revelation and this impact to the heart has also reached them, because they are elect. In other words, there is no limit and there is no distance, no boundaries, no barriers, for an elect of God to receive the fulfillment of what God has promised for this time.
“Ah, what…, but what are they going to do with those people who do not know Spanish?” Well, they will be translated; and a time will come when they will fully understand Spanish. That will be the language of the Millennium and of eternity.
Now, it was a Mexican woman who understood in Spanish what he was talking, or something like that. And look, there he was showing us something so tremendous; because she received what she was looking for, but look, she received it in Spanish.*
*[59-1220E - “Identified With Christ”, pp. 6-8, paras.. 26-29] [61-0112 - “Questions And Answers,” pp. 19-20, paras. 123-131]
In other words, everything that was shown in Reverend William Branham, today we are already seeing it fully being fulfilled. The whole life of brother Branham, his family, his wife (whom we love), all of them, reflect, typifies all those stages, which we are going through, in this end time.
And everything goes so fast. Yesterday I was talking to Pito, telling him last night…, that even I myself enjoyed it, because when I was talking to him about the stages that were happening consecutively… We mentioned almost all of them, right, Pito? Almost all of them one after another. And we realize that it is such a fast Work that God is carrying out; and we wish that we do not overlook any of them, but that we are watching and seeing everything that God is fulfilling because it will be in a moment of confusion, in the midst of that squeeze that God takes the Bride.
And everyone is like: “But…” And when they come to see: “Wait a minute! But isn’t there supposed to be a rapture?” So the elect are with… an eye on all those stages, watchful.
Like those who were drinking water, who said: “Wait, there are still so many of them. Send them to drink water.” Water represents the Word. See, apparently it was a physical action there, they were thirsty, because to send them to drink water is because they were thirsty. But they were…, those who were selected were drinking the water and they were watching [Judges 7:4-7].
That action, may God allow us to understand it completely, what it is to take the Water and watch everywhere, with the Sword there, watchful.
And those warriors are us, those warriors are those of this time, who are taking the revelation of the Seventh Seal and are fulfilling what he said: “When these things begin to come to pass, stand up, lift up your heads because your redemption is at hand.” [Luke 21:28] Look to the things above.
Now look, in this message: “THE WORD MADE FLESH AT THE LAST DAY,” which was from 2008, our brother William tells us there:
THE WORD MADE FLESH AT THE LAST DAY (Ministers’ Meeting) Dr. William Soto Santiago Saturday, July 5, 2008 Cali, Valle del Cauca, Colombia
Elijah will be there; the ministry will also appear - besides the ministry of Elijah, He will manifest the ministry of Moses and also the ministry of Jesus, which are the ministries promised to be repeated at the Last Day; and because it was the Angel of the Covenant that operated them in Moses, in Elijah and in Jesus, He will operate them again at the Last Day.
We will have in our midst at the Last Day the Word made flesh promised for the Last Day and the works that have been promised that God will do at the Last Day, and we will be hand in hand supporting all those divine projects that are promised to be carried out by the Word made flesh at the Last Day.
And we will see the Tent Cathedral appear ([JBP] there it is) [He points to the Tent –Ed.], we will see the preaching that will be there…
[JBP] And there is preaching. Therefore automatically the question that the person would ask themselves (which we talked about before) now, is already answered; because if there is preaching there has to be a preacher.
[WSS] … we will see the callings appear, we will see the part of prayer for the sick appear; we will see all those things…
JBPThere is a place where he wrote the phases, stages of the fulfillment of the Tent Vision, and everything that entails that Third Pull in each fulfillment. Everything is there detailed. And the times, and what has to be talked about and what has to be carried out, and what has to be mentioned and everything pertaining to the fulfillment of each stage.
There are things that are only going to be left and you will only see the result, and not the way; you will not know how. Remember, everything comes by the spoken Word.
Now, if we will see preachings (we are seeing it) and we will see countless events that will take place, then we already know in which stage we are at; and we are watching all of them as they are being fulfilled.
God has extended His mercy at this time.
And last night while I was studying, He was taking me through some places where there I grasped and understood more clearly what is the mercy of Moses and Elijah.
Do not spurn God’s mercy at this time, because it is the last time.
He was saying there: [WMB] “They had spurned the mercy of God for the last time.” [The Seals, “The Sixth Seal,” pp. 424-425, paras. 360-362] When he was talking about that, there was no more opportunity. But if you’re being told: “Don’t spurn it,” it’s because it is still there! Don’t wait until you get to that time and hear those words.
I think that is what you told me back in Bolivia, that you realized and said: “Hey, now I see what mercy is”; and not only for Bolivia, but for all of Latin America. Wherever there is a chosen one, there is mercy.
Remember that the Blood is the Sign, it is the Holy Spirit; and it is in the midst of His people, in the midst of His Church. There is a place where it says that it “is the Bride.” But how is it there? Remember there is a Mercy Seat.
And see, the place where it was sprinkled… We would already enter there to… to a place where he wrote, in “REVELATION, CHAPTER 4, PART 2.” It is in the unedited book of “THE AGES” also; but there in the booklets he wrote everything related to that Mercy Seat*. Which we are seeing the mystery of that new Mercy Seat more and more open, and how God’s mercy has been extended to the Latin American people at this time.
*[Bible Study #273, 15/Jan/2023 (Sunday), pp. 23-24 / Bible Study #328, 28/July/2023 (Friday), p. 46: 61-0101 – “Revelation, Chapter Four Part II,” p. 40, para. 229 - [WSS] «Throne». [WSS] «Moses and Elijah». [WSS] «another Mercy Seat is coming».]
It was already for us to enter the Millennium, but for the sake of the elect and for the love of the elect He has deferred the wrath.
As I told you one time: I was about to leave with him; to leave, but… Notice, free will is always in each person. If the person is selfish: “Pff, I’m leaving! Why would I suffer and go through everything I’m going to go through?” And after hearing everything I heard that was going to happen to that instrument, it was something to run away from; humanly it was like saying: “No, I don’t… if you give me the choice, the easiest thing to do is to go and leave.”
But look at those words that Jesus spoke there, in the fulfillment of His First Coming, and He says: “Unless the Corn of Wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains alone.” [John 12:24] Then, what is it worth…? But He had free will; even God had free will.
But you see, the love for the people is expressed through this action, and here we are! And we are full of joy, of rejoicing; because not just one is going to go, but all the elect are going!, and none of them will enter the great tribulation. We will all go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb!; all those who have loved His Coming, those who wait - have waited for His Coming and love His Coming.
But then, see, if you love His Coming, it is because He already loved you long ago: from before the foundation of the world. And He also displays that love through that instrument; and there: love at first sight. It is already a fusion that can never be separated.
We have not yet fully understood that mystery of the Seventh Seal, and it is a great thing! But when we fully understand what God is carrying out today, there we will see so many things and understand so many things, in which…: “No wonder!,” we can say: “But look at what great love, you were all the time with us!, and He has given us all that You have given us; and now we understand the reason of things.”
Many times to remain still is the best thing to do, and let everything flow and walk; and not to try to stop something they are doing against the Work of God, because it can spoil something, some fulfillment, or “take their water” too. It is better to stay still, and let the Word be the one to do the work and the effect for which these stages are happening, both actions as well as (notice) even wars.
God allows certain things… But I remember he always told me: [WSS] “Don’t worry, there are four angels holding back, let no wind blow.” In other words, that World War III, which is the third “woe”: “Behold, the first is past.” [Revelation 9:12] “The second is past; the third woe is coming soon,” that is World War III [Revelation 11:14].
In the book of Quotations there is a place where he writes something like that too. Which, it is about to happen; but as long as we are here, it is not going to happen.
This year is an election year not only here in Puerto Rico, but in the United States. And from the way everything looks, if it is the time for certain prophecies to be fulfilled, because we are already days away from that election in the United States, where we will see if the fulfillment of that vision…; which brother Branham speaks in the book of The Ages, that a woman arose in North America. He says, [WMB] “It may be the Catholic church or it may be a woman.”* But see, if it is fulfilled there, it will be fulfilled in all areas, in all that; and even then, the time is short. But let's hope it will happen.
*[The Ages, p. ]
Everything will depend on the chosen ones, because everything moves in the Divine Program because of the elect; how they are in the Divine Program: there God allows or does not allow, and lengthens or shortens. We want it to be shortened already so that everything is fulfilled and we can leave. But we can say: “That way anyone goes through…” If there are still trials and struggles, then we will also pass with perfect.
In other words, whatever is in the Divine Program, we say to Him: “Lord, if we have to go through certain things, we will go through them with Your help; just that You be with me.” And we receive those words, where He said: “Be strong and courageous.” So: We are not going to faint, we are not going to fear, but we are going to strive to reach the goal.
JBP[WSS] … all these things we shall see appearing. And the time will also come when we shall see the dead in Christ appearing, who will be resurrected and the living who will be transformed.
JBP*[56-0224 “Jehovah-Jireh,” p. 19, paras. 49-50]
You can’t say: “No, the Tent is there, and let’s get it all started.” There is a work that is taking place first; because if not, all those who were there then God would have to give them the promise as well.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*Matthew 24:45
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
[JBP] That’s in the great tribulation.
JBPLook [WMB] “In the seven years of plenty, there’s the ages,” brother Branham says. But then in the Age of the Cornerstone, there’s seven years of scarcity; but there’s a place where he says: [WMB] “But there’s hidden Manna there.”In other words, there’s Food stored up; which Joseph stored up there for those seven years of scarcity that were coming.
I wish, I ask the Lord and I have told Him: that He fulfills everything in this time, according to those times. Because look, if it is a Jewish Age and God worked in the midst of the gentiles the same time He worked with the Hebrew people: 1954 years, then everything focuses on and places us in the dates where we are, and everything that would be missing would not be a lot. But this does not mean that this is so, but we wish it to be that way, that this remaining time is a time in which we can see how much time we have left to make the preparations.
Because look, that girl knew the time she was going to leave, even though she was under more and more pressure from her cousins (the denominations), and the mockery and the criticism and everything, it was more and more pressure; she kept waiting there: “He is going to come and he said he was going to take me.” In other words, she already knew the moment, she knew the time.
So, the tighter the situation, the closer we are. In that time of squeeze, he says: [WMB] “When that persecution comes, don’t be afraid.”* Don’t be afraid! If you have the Pillar of Fire in the midst of the people, why should you be afraid? Why should you be frightened? If God is with us, who (hehe!) who can be against us? No one! No one against God’s chosen ones. Therefore, we will come to see with our own eyes and understand when it is going to be.
*[63-1229M - “There is a Man Here that can Turn on the Light,” p. 50, para. 279]
He says that it will not even miss by a minute: He will not miss, He will not fail. It is not that we want to know when it is so that we can shut ourselves up and not continue working or carrying out our commitments. No, rather it is… we look and observe everything, and we keep it there and we know how much time we have left, so that we can make more of an effort.
“Let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.” Do not think that because you are there: “Ah, I am not going to continue preparing and feeding myself.” Something may come along that you least expect and it may shake you: “Oh, but you didn’t say you were so cocky?” We must be steadfast in the Word, because what is going to come is going to be hard, I have told you: it is going to be hard, it is going to be hard; but see, the courageous ones are the ones that are going to persevere, that is when you will know what caliber you are.
It has been announced that a squeeze is coming, and it is going to come strong. Therefore, “forewarned (as we say) is forearmed.”
Watch and keep your eyes always on the Ark.
You see, the Ark was taken from the Hebrew people to the gentiles in the time of Saul and David; and then it was returned from the gentiles to the Hebrews. And look, the Ark is the Word, it is in the midst of the gentiles, there they wanted to make new denominational chariots to carry it, and that is not the way. At this time they have tried to make denominational chariots to take it to Israel, and that is not the way.
Look at the movement that there was for brother Branham to go to Israel, but it was under a dispensation that was not the dispensation where the Ark was going to return to Israel, the Word. But at this time the Word is going to come to Israel, through a prophet.
Because the Ark is always supposed to be carried on the shoulders of the priests; and that represents… See there, when it speaks of the little wooden room, where was it that He rested? There in the soul, in that little wooden room that was shown in the Vision. Already physically we see the place. The Spirit of the Lord would return to Israel in a man.
Now all of this is what is unfolding until God fulfills that promise, which is before the great tribulation. With them, everything is very ahead of schedule; and when you least expect it, we are going to say: “But how did it happen? What happened? When was that?” God is fulfilling everything as if it were all at the same time. And we don’t talk about things so that they don’t start to… to get creative…, especially the ministers, and harm the people as well.
But the elect of God knows that since the Pillar of Fire is in the midst of the people, there is no problem as to what God is carrying out and would be carrying out.
So, with confidence we are going to be safe, but watching everything, because we are in a change of kingdom where the enemy of God, which is the devil, will not want to let go; and that goes from you as an individual: he will not let go just like that, he still has ground there to work: the mind, that is the strongest battle there is.
When that is removed and God allows that not to happen anymore, then we will see a Philip at work again. As long as you continue to have that struggle here [in your mind]: “I still have some left, Lord. Help me a little more, I am getting there! You have no more ground in me! I am conquering this! I have conquered this, I have conquered that.” And still you see him trying to get in there, and on and on and on, both in thoughts and in actions; and you are also gaining ground and he is losing ground.
There are others that it is the other way around: the devil is gaining ground in that person’s life and that is why you can see that anger, rage, hatred are increasing in those people; but in the chosen one it is the other way around; meaning, it is the right way [Laughter]; it is the other way around for them.
We are gaining ground in us: from this fallen, sinful body, that because of what happened in the Garden of Eden, well, we are in all these situations, but we are gaining ground and we are conquering our own promised land.
This promised land is the one He is going to transform. Therefore, first conquer your land so that God will give you the promised land of the new body completely. Conquer day by day. What did you conquer today, of your land? Ha! “Today I conquered this territory, I have just a little bit more to go.”
Once you have conquered all that. “Well, Lord, now I am ready to enter those treasures, that promised land. Let me walk in them because I have already conquered what I had to conquer. Now it is Your turn.” But do your part, you are not going to leave everything to Him.
You are a brave person and you were sent to see the fruits there. And you have been like Joshua and Caleb: “They are good,” you have brought them, they are in the Word; taste them. [Laughter]. And they are good.
Now, there are times when He has been about to work certain things, but notice, the people have to be in line. That is why in that portion where brother Branham spoke, paragraph…, paragraph 49, I think it is from the book of Quotations:[WMB] “Give me a church…” In other words, when he speaks like that, that entails so much and involves so much, that we have broken it down here a little bit with what we have talked about.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[54-0103E - “Questions And Answers #2,” p. 38, para. 203]
49 - “203 Oh, brother, give me a Church full of the Holy Ghost.”
[JBP] If it is “full,” it has to be completely full; it cannot be half, or ¾, or ⅞, or 15/16. It has to be completely full.
49 - “[203] God will do in one year what all theologists failed to do in two thousand years. You wait till the anointing of the Church really strikes home ([JBP] here [in the heart], it has to strike there) to that faithful little remnant ([JBP] now, what faith? That Rapturing Faith). After the doors of the Gentiles is closed ([JBP] and it’s already closed. What was going to happen next?), oh, God will anoint a Church then. ‘He who is filthy, let him be filthy still. He who is righteous let him be righteous still, and he who is holy let him be holy still.’ And God will anoint the Church with the Power of God, and things will be taking place.”
JBPAnd when we are seeing all this marked more and more each time, then we will be able to say: “I conquered my land! And now I am seeing the results. Help me, Lord, to continue conquering this land, because I want this land to be completely Yours, so that You can manifest Yourself, so that You can work”; because until then, He cannot work in you. He goes aside… Remember that the Holy Spirit (we have spoken in previous Studies) is shy.
*Dr. Jose B. Perez*[56-0219 - "Being Led Of The Holy Spirit," pp. 33-34, para. 101]
40 - “[101] Look at me just a moment.”
JBP40 - “[101] Look at me just for a moment. Disturbance in the audience…?…I’ll be glad when I get my little room to myself. They’ll only hear through a microphone then.”
JBPNow, how will that be? Well, we are going to see as the stages go by; because there are already things that are being fulfilled and maybe we do not realize that they have already been fulfilled in certain - in a certain way; and when it is already fully - that being fulfilled, we are already at the end. But it has already been fulfilled in a certain way.
It is already common for us to receive an audio. We rather already say: “Did he upload an audio? Didn’t he upload a video?” Although there are videos too, but… “Is there audio today?” “There is audio.” “Hear His Voice”; it’s always the Voice. But first you have identified Him and you know whose Voice it is.
Everything is going to lead to these stages that we talked about briefly, where there is preaching, there is calling, there is prayer for the sick, and there are all those things that were seen there.
Now everything is going to develop in a way that maybe we don’t realize, because look: there has already been preaching, calling. Where you have been called? Well, if Revelation 4 says: “Come up hither,” there was a call there. Therefore, be alert, because things may be happening and we do not realize it.
How many have not had their spiritual eyes opened by God? They have been healed. In other words, certain things may already be fulfilled for the elect and we don’t realize it; all that. And then, physically they will take place. As simple as that.
And there I already told you, which we have to go back, because I am going to read what was said there. It is not that I did not want to say many things, but that:
— [JBP] “Didn’t you tell me to say that?”
— [W] “It’s just that you said it and didn’t realize it. But it was Me who told you to - to do it that way.”
There are going to be surprises for many, where there will be that uncontrollable crying of those people, who will probably say: “But why didn’t you tell us or didn’t you talk to us openly of…?” It’s just that if… Well, it would be like giving it away.
But the chosen ones don’t need any of those things, but they believe what God promised, and when they see it fulfilled: “This is it.” And then: “Ah, phew!, I knew it.” Now the one who does not, who talked like a madman and continued to attack on down, when later he sees: “But why didn’t he tell us? If he had told us, I would have believed.” Anyone would like that.
Well. But there are going to be many, many surprises; much disappointment for the person himself with himself.
Do not disappoint your soul.
Well, may God bless you and keep you. For me it is a - always a joy and a privilege to share these little moments with you on this Sunday, which we take out to come here, to have fellowship around the Word; and preparing ourselves for what is to come, because we want to be instruments of the Lord in all that God will be carrying out, not only in this place, but in all places as well.
Be prepared because what is coming is something great for us, something great for the Lord’s Church and those promises are ours.
So, now we speak them and we see all that we have received, what we are receiving and what will come - and what will come, but aware that the road to the Throne is hard, it is difficult; it has not been painted as a road of roses to anyone, but knowing those things and knowing that in the end we will obtain the victory, well, we walk with faith.
It makes us sad, it gives us… “I feel resentment, a…,” as humans, but we know that there is a goal and that we are going to reach it and we are going to achieve it.
So do not be discouraged by anything, but rather hold on to the Word and keep going forward. And we talk about it every time because these are the realities that we go through in the daily life; and although what God is doing is something glorious, there are also situations and there are stages that fill us with… besides joy, well, sadness. But on the other hand we see God fulfilling everything, and: “Well, this had to happen; so whether you understand it or not, we move forward.”
And the goal that He has at this time is to take His Bride; and She has already said “yes.” In other words, with that, everything is already set. The Supper is already waiting for us there, and everything is ready; what remains is to go and check that everything is alright —and we already know who is going there—, to verify the last guests. But look, there is a trip to the seventh dimension; there, remember that is where the Supper is prepared.
But, notice, when He was crucified and went to the fifth dimension, then He ascended to the Father…
Now, there are some events that will take place, because He comes from the seventh dimension and goes down to the sixth dimension; in other words, there is a work that He will do first in those three and a half days; besides passing through the sixth dimension, He will go to the seventh dimension.
He always enters the Most Holy Place, and from there, then, He works towards the other dimensions. Because it will be a time when the Mystical Body of Christ will be entering an eternal stage physically as well; therefore, it is a new Work and a new labor that is going to be carried out from then on. What God will be carrying out is something great!
Then they will be judged, and then they will return to Earth; three and a half days, that’s it. But that will be at that specific time, not at the time the people want. No one could touch Moses until the corresponding Work was done.
Well, may God bless you and keep you all.
And this month of October is almost gone, and there are only a few days left: 4 days; and we are already entering November, December and the year is already gone. Already, this month of October, God has given us great blessings and a lot of revealed Word. And November is already going to fly by. And December, maybe, sometime too. But it is part of what He told me to do; and up to where He tells me: “Up to here,” well, up to there I will reach in certain things that are being carried out.
And in San Juan Chamula it was a place - one of the places… and in Puebla or it was in Guatemala, where… I already saw that more marked in Bolivia. Something is moving in the people that God wants to already fulfill.
But, notice, it is the Word that is discerning and doing and carrying everything out. There are things that it is not good to talk about, but to leave them alone, and let Him be the one who works in everything; and that everything that has to be fulfilled in the midst of the Church is fulfilled and it is not something manufactured; it will be something sincere from the heart.
Well. Hey, and… it’s Charlie’s birthday, Carlos, it’s his birthday: may God bless you, Carlos, keep you, and continue using you greatly in the Work of God. You… you thought you were going to get away? I saw you here in between, and it was his birthday today. And to all those who are having a birthday, too: God bless you in what is left of this month, these days; and those who have a birthday between now and December: may God bless you too. We wish that the year we celebrate our birthday be the year of our transformation, the year in which God also fulfills all the promises that He has for us.
Each one conquer and continue to conquer your promised land, because therein lies the key: The more you conquer that battle in the mind and in actions and in your life, the more God will carry out in you all that He has to fulfill with you.
Overcome! Overcome every bit and every speck, every grain of that land; because we are land. By overcoming this, if in the few you are faithful, He will make you ruler over many things: in the new eternal and glorified body.
“CONQUERING OUR PROMISED LAND.”
It has been a privilege, a great blessing to be able to share with you these words like this…, brother Branham said: [WMB] “Broken,” meaning, in different topics. But God speaks to us many things there, perhaps broken up on the daily or as we speak daily, where we understand, perhaps, things that are not spoken like that, more, uhh…, in a more bureaucratic way, how is it? [Bro: Formal] Formal, formal.
So, we always take advantage of these moments to talk about these everyday things, the common things; and then we meditate on all that.
And rather what we say to the Lord is to help us to continue, because those promises are for us. We always say: “There is no other people, there is no other time.” This is the last time and it is our turn; so let us continue to conquer all those promises that are ours. No one is going to take from you what is yours; fight, work, strive for what is yours!
The promised land is ours and we will conquer it, totally! It is a promise, He has promised it.
So, today in the Bible Study, may God speak to us all that He wants us to hear, and may all that Word be incarnated; and also in the message we will be hearing from Dr. William Soto Santiago, who brought us all these revelations, which are news, Good Tidings, for what we are seeing now.
And all of that, when we read it, we can take any message from any year and we see what he was talking about: “This is referring to this time. This is referring to me. This is referring to that ministry that we have in our midst. This is not talking about himself.” Because the same thing happened to the eunuch, who said: “But is he talking here about himself or someone else?”
Many have that same dilemma today, when they read the messages of brother Branham; and the followers of brother Branham say: “No, he is talking about himself.” The followers of our brother William say: “No, he is talking about himself.” But the followers of brother Branham, of our brother William and the fulfillment of the Seventh Seal at this time, they say: “He is talking about that Angel that was different from the rest, that we have him today in the midst of the people”; they take all that: “He is talking about only one. He is talking about the fulfillment of the Coming of the Son of Man with His Angels.”
Philip when he explained to him and said: “Look, he is speaking of this Man of God”; and so he explained to him everything he was reading from Isaiah; up to that point he would say: “Everything is being fulfilled in Isaiah,” or “everything was fulfilled.” Isaiah was talking about the One who was to come.
And so it has happened to many during this time.“But he says that it is already happening, that, that, that, that! In that time everything happened, everything has already been opened, everything has already been given, and he is talking about him.” Ah, but to us, when God opened to us - He has opened up the whole picture, and the Holy Spirit has spoken to your heart and has said: “He is speaking of this one whom I have raised up in the midst of the people: one of your brothers.”
And when we see all that: oh!, predestination, divine election, choice: that you can see, you can understand, and you're not tangled up with the ball of yarn in the… there tangled up, but you're already higher up. And you look down and you see all those with those balls of thread there trying to untangle it, and they get more tangled.
And you can say: “Wow! Truly I am more than blessed, that You have allowed me to see, that You have healed my spiritual eyes, which were blind, and now I can see clearly. I have already conquered a small part and a large part of the promised land with the help of the Lord.”
Well, may God bless you and keep you. And until a few moments, God willing, where we will be in the activity at 10:00 in the morning.
Enjoy your breakfast, and we'll see you again in an hour or two, or three hours here.
May God bless and keep you all. See you all.
