LORD, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?

And the question is: What about today? Today the seven messengers of the seven ages have already left and seven stages of the Church have already passed, and the last messenger of those seven stages was the Reverend William Branham, who had wonderful experiences, as Saint Paul and Saint Peter had; and he heard the Voice of God, which spoke to him, guided him, and he did the will of God, what God wanted him to do; to such an extent that on one occasion He showed him a Great Tent Cathedral, and he wanted to do it; He showed him in that Tent everything that Christ is going to carry out in the fulfillment of that heavenly vision.
He tried to materialize, because it has to be the messenger in the time that is going to be fulfilled, with the people that will be united to him and the ministers that will be united to him. He had many ministers who loved him and worked in the Work of the Lord, according to how God was directing at that time.
And since the greatest thing, the greatest manifestation in the midst of Christianity, is going to be carried out in the fulfillment of that heavenly vision, he wasn’t rebellious to the heavenly vision; that is why he wanted to materialize, to materialize that vision.
God always uses people to materialize what He has promised, because God doesn’t work if it is not through human beings; just as God doesn’t work if it is not through Christ, and Christ doesn’t work if it is not through His Church. Therefore, in the midst of His Church this heavenly vision will materialize.
(…) And for this end time, there are great blessings for the believers in Christ, in the materialization of the heavenly Vision of The Great Tent Cathedral, where he saw the Pillar of Fire that accompanied him; which had accompanied Moses and which had descended upon Jesus when He was baptized.
He also saw the Angel that accompanied him; he saw inside that Great Tent Cathedral a small wooden room, and he also saw that there was preaching, that there was praying for the sick, people receiving Christ, and so on; but he was in the air. Which shows us that he was higher, in another dimension.
He wanted to go down, put his feet on the ground (as we say), but he stayed up until the moment the Pillar of Fire moved over the little room. And then the Angel was still with brother Branham, and then the Angel and he went to the little room.
There he saw a name or heard a name; that is why the Angel says to him: “Do you remember the name you were looking for when you went – when you had the Tent Vision in the little room, the name you were looking for?” Then there is a very important name there.
Then he says: “What I saw there, I will take with me to the grave.”
Also the Angel told him that that was the Third Pull; and the Third Pull is the stage of the creative Word being spoken; of which an example was given in five cases that Reverend William Branham mentions, where the power of God was manifested by the creative Word being spoken by Reverend William Branham anointed with the Holy Spirit.
The case of the storm, to which he spoke at the Lord’s command and the storm went away.
The case of the resurrection of a little fish.
The case of the storm, that is: it shows absolute power over nature, which the Two Olive Trees, Moses and Elijah, will have.
(…) And now, where do we find ourselves at this time in the trajectory of the Holy Spirit in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the trajectory of the Church of the Lord on this Earth?
We find ourselves in a time parallel to the time of Jesus and His apostles, we find ourselves in an Age of Cornerstone, for which there are great promises. And the promises for the Church, which couldn’t be fulfilled in past ages, such as those of which Saint Paul speaks to us: of the Great Voice of Trumpet or Last Trumpet for the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of the living, of First Corinthians, chapter 15, verses 49 to 58; and First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verses 11 to 18; and Philippians, chapter 3, verses 20 to 21. Those promises will be fulfilled in the Last Day, in the golden stage of the Church, which is the stage of the Cornerstone, Age of the Cornerstone.
(…) The Light, two thousand years ago, arose in the East, in Jerusalem; and for this end time, the evening Light is in the West. That is why when we speak of supper, we speak of the evening time; and the evening time corresponds to the American continent.
And now, for this time there will be people who will not be rebellious to the heavenly vision that Reverend William Branham saw, to which he wasn’t rebellious either; and he wanted to materialize that vision, but it wasn’t for his time; he saw in advance what will happen in the Golden Age of the Church, the Age of the Cornerstone, where there will be ministers and congregations, churches, that will not be rebellious to that heavenly vision.
Reverend William Branham, in 1964 and ‘65 said that there was one thing, a vision that hadn’t yet been fulfilled, and it was the Tent Vision; but it will be fulfilled. And there will be the manifestation of the Third Pull, where Christ will be fully manifested.
That is why the golden stage of the Church, of the Age of the Cornerstone, corresponds to the Most Holy Place of the spiritual Temple of Christ; parallel to the most holy place of the temple built by Solomon and the tabernacle built by Moses.
That was where He appeared, where the light of the Shekinah, the Pillar of Fire, was; it was the place where only the high priest could enter, and it was where the hidden manna was and Aaron’s rod that budded and the tablets of the Law. It was the most important place.
And if you look at the temple that Solomon built, for the east side was the outer court, and for the west side was the most holy place.
And so it is that Christ has been building His spiritual Temple, His Church. It began in Jerusalem, in the East; He moved from Israel to Asia Minor with Saint Paul; then He moved to Europe with five messengers; and then He moved from Europe to North America with Reverend William Branham.
And now the big secret is: Where has the Holy Spirit, Christ, moved to in the midst of His Church, in His Work, in His trajectory?
He who knows where the Holy Spirit has moved to after Europe, would realize that He went to North America; and from there would come the Message for the whole Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, and there the seventh Church age would be fulfilled.
And he who knows where the Holy Spirit has moved to after North America, will know what age we are in and the promises relevant to our time, and what is the Message relevant to that Age of Cornerstone; and he will be waiting for the promises that the revealed Word will be making known to us, which will be the same ones that are in the Bible.
There can be no contradiction. They are also amplified in the messages of Reverend William Branham, through whom the Holy Spirit spoke to the Church.
Therefore, we are not rebels to the heavenly vision that God showed to Reverend William Branham. We believe those visions and we work towards their fulfillment every day of our lives, until we are transformed.
Not only until we see the Tent Vision fulfilled, but until we are transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
After that, how will the work be carried out when we are transformed? We will see that when we have the new body.
TEACHERS AND CHILDREN WORKING UNDER GOD’S PERFECT WILL

Therefore, all the people who will be kings and priests and judges in the Millennial Kingdom of Christ, have to be taught in the Divine Program; to know, know and serve Christ all the days of our life in the perfect will of God, to then be adopted, to be transformed; and from then on to be physically eternal also, and to have all the power of God manifested in us; but always keeping the divine order.
In other words, during the time when we already have the new body, each person will not do what he wants to do, but will be under the direction of God, under the order relevant to that phase of each elect; for that time we will be more obedient and we will be more within the will of God.
Any person who doesn’t understand these things, could say: “When I am transformed I will have all the power and I will do whatever I want to do.” No, there will be a direction.
And that direction will come from the Throne of Christ for the whole Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in that glorious Millennial Kingdom of Christ; because Christ is the Bridegroom and the Church is the Bride in the Millennial Kingdom; Christ is the King and the Church is the Queen.
And the Queen, the Bride, can’t do what she wants; the Bride is obedient to her Husband (as all wives must be).
Now, we can see that already as children they can know these things; and already the girls understand that when they grow up and get married, they will be obedient, they will be subject to their husbands, and they will work together with their husbands in the Work of Christ; and they will marry a person, a young man, believer in Christ.
They are not going to make an unequal yoke, as unfortunately some people have done, and that hasn’t been in the will of God; therefore, they have to abide by the different problems that come to them. And pray to God, and pray for the husband; not to leave him; but, since they got into the problem, pray for the husband so that Christ may save him, so that Christ may have mercy on him and also bless him.
Saint Paul says: “What do you know, woman, if you can save your husband?” That is, if the love and mercy of God manifested towards you, it can also reach your husband, and God have mercy on your husband as well.
It also says that it is important that they remain united to their husbands, if they married husbands who were not believers, so that the children may be holy.
Now, if the problem is very big in the marriage, you have to discuss it later with the minister. But the recommendation is that they stay married, because, Saint Paul says that the woman, if she separates or if she gets divorced, she can’t remarry; the man is still responsible for that woman. God will hold a man accountable for his wife, even if he is divorced.
So young people should know what their responsibility is when they fall in love and plan to marry.
Well, all these things are important to know so that we walk in the perfect will of God all the days of our life. In permissive there will always be problems, in permissiveness we will not be pleasing God fully, but only in part.
Well, it is very important to know these things; and you, teachers, it is very important for you to know these things.
Now, any marital situation, that corresponds to the minister to take care of; you should not be commenting with each other.
Marriage, people shouldn’t be talking to other people, but go directly to the minister, so that they can see how to solve any marriage problem.
We all want to serve Christ in the perfect will of God. So don’t keep the problems, but solve the problems; and may Christ have mercy on all of you and also on me.
In order for you to have a broader picture, it is good that you get the message of Reverend William Branham: “Marriage and Divorce,” and there you will have more detailed information about marriage and the divine laws for marriage.
