MATTHEW 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. MATTHEW 5:15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. MATTHEW 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

God’s Agency

62-0729  PERSEVERANT_  VICTORIA.BC  SUNDAY_God always works through agents: men. Man is God's agent always: not creeds, not denominations, but man.

Jesus > My Father (Wordman) worketh hitherto, andI (Fleshman) work.

PERFECT.FAITH_ JEFF.IN V-6 N-11 SUNDAY_ 63-0825E God uses man, and man only. God doesn't use machinery. God doesn't use groups of men. God doesn't use organizations. God uses individuals, always!

Definition of AGENCY

1a : the office or function of an agent (An agent is someone that acts or exerts power)

2: the capacity, condition, or state of acting or of exerting power

Jesus said: this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations…

3: a person or thing through which power is exerted or an end is achieved

THE.QUEEN.OF.SHEBA_ TULSA.OK FRIDAY_ 60-0401E

But in every generation, God has always had His agents. It's got down sometime to merely one, but God always had somebody in every generation that He could lay His finger on, some people that He could put His finger on, and say, "This is My people, and they'll do as I tell them to do."

PERSEVERANT_ DALLAS.TX V-19 N-9 THURSDAY_ 64-0305 13 Now we believe the Bible to be God's infallible Word. We believe that It is the entire revelation of Jesus Christ; revealing Himself in the Old Testament, by the prophets; God making Hisself known through His Son, Christ Jesus, and in Him dwelt the fulness of the Godhead, bodily. He was crucified for our sins; died, buried, rose the third day, ascended into Heaven, and is back here again in the Name of the... In the form of the Holy Spirit, God dwelling... One time, God above us; in Christ, God with us; now God in us.

“God’s Chosen Place of Worship” The agency, that God chose for worship and to be worship through, was man in a Garden of Eden Condition. That’s the agency that God was working His way back to. After the fall, God was working His way back to be worshipped through man. He wanted man to be brought back to a fitted place of worship, with the blessing of Pentecost upon him. God’s chosen place of worship is in the heart of man.

PERSEVERANT_ DALLAS.TX V-19 N-9 THURSDAY_ 64-0305

God does nothing outside of a man being His agent, His helper. 

QUESTION: HOW DOES MAN BECOME GOD’S AGENT AND HIS HELPER?

ANSWER: HE BECOMES THAT BY BEING BORNE AGAIN. THE NEW BIRTH IS WHAT MAKES MAN A PART OF GOD AGENCY. ACCEPT A MAN IS BORN AGAIN; HE CANNOT ENTER INTO GOD’S AGENCY… ACCEPT A MAN IS BORN AGAIN; HE CANNOT BE GOD’S CHOSEN PLACE OF WORSHIP.

THE.SIGN.OF.THIS.TIME_ NY.NY V-18 N-8 WEDNESDAY_ 63-1113 235 Great Creator of heavens and earth, all that I have stood here tonight and said, will be of no account unless You come and prove that it's right. We've heard so much, and people has heard so much. Now one word from You, Father, will make it all right. And we're looking for that.236 Now, we know that You only speak through human lips. You made men Your agency. 

ISAIAH 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

EVERYTHING IS WORKING ACCORDING TO GOD’S PERFECT WILL. GOD’S PERFECT WILL IS FOR EVERY SEED TO BRING FORTH OF ITS OWN KIND.

THE.SIGN.OF.THIS.TIME_ NY.NY V-18 N-8 WEDNESDAY_ 63-1113

One day You were standing, You said, looked upon the harvest and said, "It's ripe," said, "pray the Lord of the harvest that He'll send laborers in His harvest," and You were the Lord of the harvest. But You so connected Your program, You and men together, you do nothing apart from that.

MATTHEW 11:25 ¶ At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

PERSEVERANT_ TOPEKA.KS V-20 N-3 FRIDAY_ 64-061910 When He looked upon the harvest, He was the Lord of the harvest, and He said, "The harvest is ripe, the laborers are few; pray ye the Lord of the harvest, that He may send laborers into His harvest," making Himself with man so bound together that He works only through the agency of man. He chose man to work for Him. He could have chose the sun to preach the Gospel, He could have chose the winds, or the trees, or the stars. But He chose man, veils Himself inside, hides Himself from the unbeliever, reveals Himself to who He will.

MATTHEW 11:26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. 

CHRIST.IS.THE.MYSTERY_ 63-0728191 Notice now, down through the ages, He has been graduallygradually lettingletting this outthis out, , slowlyslowly unfoldingunfolding the mysterythe mystery, , through the prophets and through the types.

WATCHMAN.WHAT.OF.THE.NIGHT_  LAKEPORT.CA  FRIDAY  E-72     What if a man sit here with a long white robe on, and hair hanging way down like this? He might not have looked like that. That's just what the artists painted a picture of; He might look all together different from that. But what if he stood here, and had nail prints in his hands, prints of scars in his forehead, and sit here and said he was the Lord Jesus. You know, right quick I'd tell you he was wrong? That's exactly right. When Jesus comes, time shall be no more. It could not be the Lord Jesus.

WATCHMAN.WHAT.OF.THE.NIGHT_  LAKEPORT.CA  FRIDAY But then, if He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, how could He be here? In the form of the Holy Spirit, where He sanctified us, to move into us, and to perform His works through us, 'cause that's His agents. "The works that I do shall you also."

IF YOU HAVE BEEN BORN AGAIN, THEN YOU ARE GOD’S AGENT CARRYING OUT HIS WORKS, AND THAT’S WHAT MAKES CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND FOREVER. HE USES HIS AGENTS TO CARRY OUT HIS WORKS. GOD DOES IT THAT WAY, BECAUSE IT’S HIS WAY OF DOING THINGS.

MATTHEW 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. CHRIST IS THE MYSTERY OF GOD REVEALED THROUGH SONSHIP.

NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW WHO THE FATHER IS, ACCEPT A SON OR A DAUGHTER OF GOD, IN THE THIRD COMING REVEALS HIM.

JOHN 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

IF YOU HAVE ENTERED INTO THE BOSOM OF THE FATHER AS A SON OR DAUGHTER, THEN YOU CAN DECLARE OR EXPRESS WHO GOD IS.

CHRIST.IS.REVEALED.IN.HIS.OWN.WORD_ JEFF.IN V-4 N-10 SUNDAY_ 65-0822M17 Now, and my text this morning is: "Christ Is Revealed In His Own Word." Now, where I come to the conclusion to talk on this was, because that... Knowing that what we say we mustn't just say because we're gathered together to just haphazardly speak on anything, but it's something that will help stabilize the people, for we are going to pass through dangerous, treacherous waters. We're already sailing through them. And sometimes, I guess it's with you like it is with me, that seems like that so much of it, it's such a scary.

333-3 LAODICEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.9"These things saith the Faithful and True Witness." Now I want to show you what I find in the thought of "faithful". You know we often talk about a great unchanging God, Whose Word does not change. And when we speak of Him after that manner we often get a view of Him that makes Him seem very impersonal. It is as though God made the whole universe and all the laws that pertain to it and then stood back and became a great impersonal God. It is as though God made a way of salvation for lost mankind, that way being the cross, and then when the death of Christ has atoned for our sins, and His resurrection gave us an open door to Him, God just folded His arms and stood back. It is as if we majored in believing in a great Creator, Who having created, lost personal interest in His creation. Now I say that is how too many people are apt to think. But that is wrong thinking, for God is GOVERNING IN THE AFFAIRS OF MEN RIGHT NOW. HE IS BOTH CREATOR AND SUSTAINER.

Colossians 1:16-17. "For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers; all things were created by Him, and for Him: And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist.“

He is a Sovereign God. By His own counsel He purposed the plan of the salvation of His own elect which He foreknew. The Son died upon the cross to establish the means of Salvation and the Holy Spirit carefully executes the will of the Father. He is working all things at this moment according to the purpose of His own will.

GOD IS A VERY PERSONAL BEING, NOT IMPERSONAL…

He is right in the midst of it all. He is in the midst of His church. This great Creator, Saviour-God is faithfully working amongst His own right now as the great Shepherd of the sheep. His very existence is for His own. He loves them and cares for them. His eye is ever upon them. When the Word says that "your lives are hid with Christ in God" it means exactly what it says. Oh, I am so glad that my God abides faithful. He is true to Himself, He won't lie. He is true to the Word, He will back it up. He is true to us, He will lose none of us, but raise us up in the last day. I am glad that I am resting in His faithfulness.

“Ending the Second and Opening the Third Testament”

We are living, walking, writing and manifesting our Testament that opened to us at the opening of the seals. This Testament was opened by Jesus Christ through the redeemed body of a lamb; the last major prophet of the Seven Church Ages.  Paul prophesied and said Christ would reveal himself from heaven in such a manner. He said, “Rest with us until Jesus Christ reveals himself from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire”. It happened on Sunset Mountain. His words were sure prophecy of Jesus revealing himself completely in the Second Testament of Seven Angels.

Then His entry into the earth was made through the prophet William Branham by the opening of the Seals. Now in this “New Testament” Jesus is being glorified in his Saints while judging the world in the White Wig.  If a Testament is ending, if a book is being sealed up and closed, then God must be moving on into another manifestation. We believe this is not the “same” book of Acts. This is “Another” book of Acts. We are not established by history, we are the “I Am”.

59-0301M  STRAIT.IS.THE.GATE_  JEFFERSONVILLE.IN  CH 35-66  SUNDAY_ That was the biggest obstacle that they had to climb over, was how Him being Man yet made Himself God. They could not see how God could dwell in human flesh. And in all ages, in all times, God has always dwelt in man. Man is God's agent . In every generation God speaks to His people through human lips. He always chooses someone or something that He can use.
