Christ, the Son of the living God

The great revelation that Peter received from the Father in heaven was that Jesus “is the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Matthew 16:15-17
The Old Testament tells us who Messiah will be when he comes.
Yahweh (the Father) said unto my Lord (Messiah) sit thou at my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool. Psalms 110:1
Yahweh in a prophecy through Nathan to David about the Messiah, the seed of David said, “I will be his father, and he shall be my son.” 2 Samuel 7:14
“And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.” Isaiah 11:2.
1. Jesus is Lord not Yahweh, but David’s Lord Messiah – kings were called in the OT ‘my lord the king’
2. He is the Son of Yahweh God
3. the Spirit of Yahweh shall rest upon him and it will give him wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge and the fear of Yahweh

The name Jesus means Yahweh is Salvation. We learn in John 17:11 that Jesus was given the Father’s name. “…keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me…” The name of God has been put in His Son. The covenant name of God to the Jewish nation was Yahweh and now to the New Covenant it is Yahshua – Yahweh is Salvation or as we know in English Jesus.

Preach the Gospel

I have a deep burden in my heart to see the gospel preached here in America amongst and through believers of the end-time message. Here is the reason I have this burden.

I have seen and heard of many people being so disturbed because someone presented them with William Branham and his ministry. They say something like, “the worship William Branham” or “they are exalting a man.” What a reproach this brings upon the word of God!

What happened to following William Branham’s example and preaching the same gospel that he did. Not just a powerless presentation of the powerful ministry of William Branham, but preaching the gospel with signs following. When I say the gospel I mean, the apostolic fathers’ faith, the original faith preached by the apostle Paul. I’m talking about water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, the oneness of the Godhead, the work of the Holy Spirit, the blood of Christ, sanctification of the Spirit, holiness living and salvation by faith alone. The mysteries of the scriptures are important, but people need to hear the original faith and gospel. I am seriously in prayer that the Lord would raise up a generation of brothers that would preach the word and not preach quotes of God’s servant or about the miracles of God’s servant.

As glorious and wonderful as the ministry of brother Branham was we are never called to lift up a man. We are called testify of God’s work, but not before we testify of the real true gospel of the bible and Jesus Christ. My hope is there would be a group of men raised up to preach out of the scriptures and not a bunch of quotes and statements piecemealed together. The gospel (that is the good news that Jesus is Lord and Christ, that he has raised from the dead and that through his name there is remission of sins) comes not in word only but in power and demonstration of the Spirit that faith might be in God and not in the words of men.

My hope is that the saints in America would be revived to this and would go out in our local areas and present the truth we have been restored to in a scriptural means and not as the seven sons of Sceva who said, “we adjure thee in the name of Jesus whom Paul preaches.” Many times that is what we do as we preach, “bro. Branham said this out of the bible and bro. Branham taught that out of the bible.” PREACH THE WORD!

I pray the Lord helps us all!
