From the Dust of the Earth
For the last few weeks I have been rejoicing in what it means to be an expressed thought of God. Think of it!
A part of God expressed! Like Christ was the Fullness of God expressed.
We all will acknowledge that God could not die in His original form as spirit God. We see that He had to make an expression(flesh body) so that it could die. A perfect God in a dying body.
But have you ever thought about yourself on this manner? You are a part of God. An eternal attribute of God. How could that perfect thought of God(you) be lost? Well, the answer is, it couldn't. It could no more be lost than God could die. You had to have a physical expression that could be lost.
One more thing. How could that perfect thought of God bring forth a physical expression that wasn't perfect?
The answer is, it couldn't.
And the prophet said it, not me.
Let's start with Adam.
----------------------------------------------------------------
171-2 PERGAMEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.5
The first son (Adam) was the spoken seed-Word of God. He was given a bride to reproduce himself. That is why the bride was given to him, to reproduce himself; to produce another son of God. But she fell. She fell by hybridization. She caused him to die.
THE.IDENTIFIED.MASTERPIECE.OF.GOD_ YUMA.AZ SATURDAY_ 64-1205
E-66 And when He made His first masterpiece, He put him behind the Word. When He made His second Masterpiece, He was the Word. Amen. He was the Word, not behind the Word; but He was the Word. God never changes His plan. That's exactly what He started off to do His first church with, the Word.
Now, God, the Word, in the beginning He was independent from all other--everything else, all other people. Now, I don't mean to say this to be different. God is a segregationalist. You know that? You talk about integration; God's a segregationalist. He certainly does. He separates His people from the world. He separated Israel, His nation. He's trying to separate His church from the world, but the church wants to go on with the world. But His people is still segregated, segregated to Him. Who's He? The Word.
108-1 EPHESIAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.3
God's intention for His creation, man, is to express His Words. In Genesis, Adam was given the Word to live by. A life lived by the Word would be the Word expressed. That is true is it not? But did Adam live by that Word? No, because he was to live by EVERY Word, and he failed to take heed to every Word.
Then there arose Moses. What a great and mighty man he was. Yet he also failed to live by every Word, and that prophet, the type of the Great Prophet to come, failed in anger to obey the Word.
And there was also David, the great king of Israel, a man after God's own heart. He failed by adultery, when he was tempted.
But eventually, in the fullness of time, there came One, the Head, even Jesus, Who also must be tempted to see if He would live by EVERY Word that proceeded out of the mouth of God. Then was Satan foiled. For here was One Who lived by "It is written," and that Masterpiece of God overcame by reflecting God's Word. Then was this manifested Perfect One given to the cross, as the Perfect Lamb of God for the perfect sacrifice. And on the 'tree' He received the wounds unto death, that we, by Him and because of Him, might eat of the Tree Of Life, and then that Life freely given would enable us to overcome, and express the Word of God.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
We can see here that Adam was the seed Word and NOT YET the expressed attribute of God.
Adam was behind the Word.
Jesus Christ was the Word.
This is the reason Adam fell and Christ couldn't.
Notice that last line in the last quote:
that Life freely given would enable us to overcome, and express the Word of God.
Only that Life could overcome. Only that Life could make the Word live. Only that Life could express that attribute.
Without that Life, Adam fell.
Now let's bring it up to Jesus' time and see who else fell.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
THE.END.TIME.SIGN.SEED_ TIFTON.GA MONDAY_ 62-0319
E-80 The prophet said, "There'll come a day that won't be called day or night, but in the evening time it shall be Light." All you Bible readers know that. What happens? Civilization travels from the east to the west. China is the oldest civilization we have. Civilization begin in the east. It's went with the sun, traveling west. Where's it at now? The west coast. If it goes any farther it's back east again. See what I mean?
The same sun that rises in the east is the same sun that sets in the west, the same s-u-n. And the same S-o-n, Son of God that come to the earth to take a bride on the eastern people... And that bride polluted herself like Eve did, like Jehovah's bride did. That same Son that shines there, that shined there with His same power upon Pentecost, to ripen the seed that He had planted, that same Son is shining now in the western hemisphere. To what? To ripen the seed that's been planted to bring forth a Bride. The evening Light of the Gospel will bring forth a Bride (Amen.) for the Lord Jesus. There's some of the evening seed signs, hundreds of them.
171-3 PERGAMEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.5
The second Son (Jesus), also a spoken Seed-Word of God was given a bride like as was Adam. But before He could marry her, she also had fallen. She, like Adam's wife, was put to the test whether she would believe the Word of God and live, or doubt the Word and die. She doubted. She left the Word. She died.
----------------------------------------------------------------
- that bride polluted herself like Eve did, like Jehovah's bride did. (that eastern Bride)
- before He could marry her, she also had fallen.
She fell because He had not married her. Once He marries her, she has His Life to overcome 'completely' with.
Meaning the bringing forth of the Rapture(body change).
In every age there was an anointing to the Bride to make her stand behind the Word for that hour. Sort of like Boaz dropping handsfull on purpose through his servants(prophets) until he woke one night to find Ruth fully submitted and lying at His feet! She was covered in his garment(Word). Handfulls on purpose had prepared Ruth for that moment just as handfulls on purpose prepared a Bride for this day. But what happened next?
Boaz claimed her! She became his wife! Hallelujah! No more did she have to glean in the field! She was seated at the Master's table to feast!
Is that not where we are now?

THE.IDENTIFIED.MASTERPIECE.OF.GOD_ YUMA.AZ SATURDAY_ 64-1205
E-71 Now, if I'm going to be a real genuine American, if I'm going to be a true citizen of this nation, I have to be identified with it. I have to be all she ever was, right or wrong; I have to be all she is, right or wrong; ALL SHE EVER WILL BE, right or wrong. I have to be identified with this nation if I'm going to be an American. Is that right? In her glory or her shame, freedom or flame, whatever she is, I must be the maker of her immortality. I must stand as a unit. Everything she is, I am. Everything she ever was, I am. All she ever will be, I must be partakers of her. That's right. Just think of it for a few minutes.
---------------------------------------------------------------
That part of the Bride that came in down through the ages identified themselves with that part of the Word. By standing behind it they were sealed into ALL of the Word's potential. But since the Full Word had not been revealed yet, they could not come to that full potential.
That potential is THE expression of the 'thought of you' that God had before time began. The marriage of God!
Brother and sister, when did this begin to happen? This marriage of God?

IS.YOUR.LIFE.WORTHY.OF.THE.GOSPEL_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-5 SUNDAY_ 63-0630E
65 Didn't Jesus said the virgins went out to meet Christ? Some of them fell asleep the first watch, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, to the seventh watch. But in the seventh watch, then came forth the sound, "Behold the Bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet Him." And the ones that was sleeping, awakened; all the age back to Pentecost woke up. See, from the seventh age, the seventh church age, all the way back through woke up; and these that were in this church age a-living, they were changed, and they went in. And at the very time they went in, the sleeping virgin come and said, "We want to buy some of your oil."
But they said, "We just got enough for ourself. Go to them that sell it." And while they were trying to receive this oil, the Bridegroom came. There has never been a time in the history of the world that the Episcopalians, Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians... The papers are full; the religious papers are praising God that those sleeping virgins are now trying to receive Pentecost, trying to receive the Holy Ghost. And don't the people realize that it will not happen, according to the Word of God?
While they were trying to come back, the Bridegroom come and took away the Bride, and they were cast into outer darkness for judgment because they rejected their invitation. All peoples are bidden to come. God in every age has sent out His Light, and It's been rejected. And now, today is no different from any other day.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Behold the Bridegroom cometh! Bro. Branham said that is the seventh angels' message. Have we heard the seventh angels' message? Then the Bride through all the ages is awakened. Not until this age could they be awakened! Because not until this day has the marriage come!
Now, I've said all this to lay a background for answering our first question. What was actually lost?

THE.INVISIBLE.UNION.OF.THE.BRIDE.OF.CHRIST_ SHP.LA V-2 N-15 THURSDAY_ 65-1125
30-1 Life is a sacred thing to God, and it's recorded in a Book. God's the Author of Life. Do you believe that? Our natural life here we have here is just a perversion. It really should be the right Life to begin with. But it's perverted by the natural birth.
The first life or your first union, you were joined in at birth by nature. A natural act, a natural human being associated, man and woman together, associated together in sexual affair which brought your first life here, and that's associated with sin and death.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Born a natural birth. This was not the expression of the attribute of God. Remember, that will be perfect. Sexual affair brought your first life. This was outside God's perfect will. It was permitted in order to express His perfect will.
-----------------------------------------------------------
IDENTIFICATION_ TULARE.CA V-22 N-14 SUNDAY_ 64-0216
77 Look, to show it's the ones that He thought of, His thoughts is the Christian of today, the thoughts before the foundation of the world. Now, remember, man, when he was borned in sin, shaped in iniquity, comes to the world speaking lies. Is that right? There's nothing in him at all. So you see, if he was in God's thoughts when he come to the world, he's come in God's thoughts at the beginning to display His attribute. You follow me? Then Jesus came to break the clouds back so that attribute could display itself. He is God's expressed Word. Now, nothing else could be manifested. Other characters had all fallen. Then you see, what did Jesus come to bring back those characters? No. No, they were borned in sin, shaped in iniquity.
He came as a Redeemer. And to "redeem" anything, is "to bring it back (Amen.), bring it back." It was God's thoughts. You... Think, little you, little me, no one in the world could take my place. Nobody can take yours. You, being a Christian and filled with the Spirit, God, in before the foundation of the world, seen you, and knowed every feature that you got. See? And Jesus come to bring you back. That's what Jesus was here for, the Redeemer, the human body: to bring you back. That had to come to be a human as a Redeemer to display His attributes as Saviour, come to redeem you and bring you back from where you come from. You were...
THE.FUTURE.HOME.OF.THE.HEAVENLY.BRIDEGROOM.AND.THE.EARTHLY.BRIDE_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-5 SUNDAY_ 64-0802
49-1 Look, them hands designed this for His Beloved and--Bride: designed in tenderly love for His Bride. Remember that the Holy Ghost descended on Jesus, which Jesus was a part of the earth. Why? The germ of God, the Life of God was designed in the womb of a woman (That right?), which was the earth. All right. And then the Life of God came in, so He was the beginning of the creation of God. See? And then that Blood of God, that was there by that germ, when it was shed at Calvary, dropped back upon the earth. What for? To redeem the earth. Now, it's been justified; it's been sanctified, called and claimed; and now it's to receive its baptism of fire, and be cleansed for Jesus and His Bride. And you are these other parts that's drawed out of this earth--the earth. You are part of the earth, your body. Your soul is part of God, a attribute of God, displayed here on earth in a body. The body's to be redeemed. Now the soul's redeemed, because it was in sin. So God come down by process of justification, sanctification, baptism of the Holy Ghost, and redeemed your soul. And you, being part of the earth, it's redeemed by it. You're in the process now, it's growing on.
------------------------------------------------------------
May these quotes strike deep and hew you out! Your earthly expression was not your true expression! Creation is what was lost! Not the Eternal! That Eternal attribute could never be lost! Do you see it?! Creation had been perverted not the Eternal attribute!
YOU CANNOT PERVERT GOD!
YOU CANNOT LOSE GOD!
YOU CANNOT KILL GOD!
And God come and scooped up a little bit of creation, called His name Jesus, and by His own Life caused it to live absolutely perfect. He redeemed creation! To do what with? To express that perfect thought of His attribute as He saw it before the foundations! Halleluiah!
-----------------------------------------------------------
THE.FUTURE.HOME.OF.THE.HEAVENLY.BRIDEGROOM.AND.THE.EARTHLY.BRIDE_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-5 SUNDAY_ 64-0802
36-3 The fullness of time has come, after time has been fulfilled. Sin is gone, after the world's baptism--after the world's baptism makes it a fit place: no sickness, no germs, no thorns, no thistles, no death, no sorrow, no heartaches, no old age, nothing to represent death, nothing wrong: all right; nothing natural: eternal. THEN His attribute is expressed, because it was there first to begin with. That's what He thought.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Do you see it? When time is fulfilled, sin is gone and nothing natural is left, then the Eternal is expressed! No more natural soul of man that was corrupted long ago. When that is gone, then Life is expressed.
If you are an eternal attribute awakened in this age then you will express the sinless nature that it is. For you HAVE NEVER SINNED! You cannot sin! You are made perfect by His Life and THIS body is following suit! It's being transformed!
-----------------------------------------------------------
POWER.OF.TRANSFORMATION_ PRESCOTT.AZ V-17 N-1 SUNDAY_ 65-1031M
282 Look at you in here. How many's had that experience? Every one of us. We've had that experience. Because It was spoke; It was believed; and the Word came forth and fell into the bed of the heart; and there It growed right out of it. See?
Transforming yourself, His Holy Spirit transforms the seed Word into ITS LIKENESS. Like if a pear tree brings forth a pear, apple tree a apple, things like that, His Word will bring forth sons and daughters of God. That's what It's supposed to do.
THE.INVISIBLE.UNION.OF.THE.BRIDE.OF.CHRIST_ SHP.LA V-2 N-15 THURSDAY_ 65-1125
45-7 All at once we heard something from the top of the hill, a voice come down through the loud speaker said, "All things are ready."
Then this man, standing right there by the side of me, said, "Let the fire fall."
Here it comes pouring down across that mountain, a glacier of fire and blazes a licking, a sight to behold.
Brother, let's get all things ready, for one of these days, the fire's going to fall. We're going up. Now, let's get ready for the fire-falling time.
We're in the last days. We all know that. And we're ready for the coming of the Lord. The thing to do is separate yourself from all sin. Separate yourself from anything that pertains to the world. Don't love the world or the things of the world. Let no man, by his creed, deceive you. You stay right straight in the promise of God, the Word of God; and that Word, if It's the Word, for this day, God vindicates It so. If He doesn't, it's not the Word for this day. The Word that fell on the day of Pentecost will not work this day. No, sir, that was for Pentecost. This is for the Bride: going home of the Bride. We got something different. The Pentecostals represented that again. We're in the Bride age. No more than the Word of Noah would worked in the days of Moses. No more than Moses' law would've worked in the time of Paul, here. He tried to tell them, "You're dead to that. And you cannot have that."
TRYING.TO.DO.GOD.A.SERVICE.WITHOUT.IT.BEING.GOD'S.WILL_ SHP.LA V-7 N-2 SATURDAY_ 65-1127B
216 Now, let us see what happened when God in His time and age and His prophets are not considered, just depend on theology, priests, denominationalism like we do today. Now, closely. It all gets messed up. If the true Spirit of God there, It'll direct it into the Word; not just one place in the Word, the entire Word for the entire age. See? The day of Pentecost, the Spirit directed it right into That, to Joel 2:38. See? The day of Luther, It directed it right into That; Wesley; in this last Pentecostal move; but this is another age; this is the calling out of the Bride. Not two thousand years ago at Pentecost, or the repeat, or the return. Pentecost...
THINGS.THAT.ARE.TO.BE_ RIALTO.CA V-4 N-6 SUNDAY_ 65-1205
32 Now, the only way that you can be a son or daughter of God... Because you have to be the--have to have Eternal Life... And there's only one form of Eternal Life, and that's God's Life. Only one form of Eternal Life, that was God. There to be a son of God, you had to be in Him always. The gene of your life, spiritual life tonight, was in God the Father before there was even a molecule. See? And you are nothing but the manifestation of the gene of Life that was in God as a son of God. Now, you're expressed, after His Word has come in you to light up this age. You are the--expressing God's Life in you, because you are a son or a daughter of God. Therefore... You get what I mean? See? You are in--you are now made... You're setting in this church tonight, because your duty is to express God to this nation, and this people, and this neighborhood where you associate. Wherever you are, God knew that you would be here, because you have to be one of His genes or His attributes. You had to be. If you ever--if you've got Eternal Life, then it always was Eternal Life. And God before there was a foundation of the world knew that you would be here. And when the Word--or the water, the washing of the water of the Word fell upon you, you--it was expressed in a being. Now, you have fellowship with your Father, God, just as you have with you earthly father. See? You are citizens of the King, not citizens, but you are children, sons and daughters of the living God if it be that the Eternal Life dwells in you.
----------------------------------------------------------
His Spirit is here, loosed from creeds and dogmas that had it bound for 2000 years. The prophet said so. The prophet also said just above that this Word today is for the going home of the Bride!
If that's what this Word is for and His Spirit is here to vindicate it, then what is happening all around you?
A marriage is taking place! A rapture is taking place! Wake up, little Bride. The Groom is making Himself known!
