OCTOBER 16TH, 2019 – TELIGI/ GUNTUR – ANDHRA PRADESH
Today is one of the few days where we can gather some loose ends together, because we’ll leave for the service by around 5 this evening. The drive takes us about 40 km away from the city to a small town called Teligi in a more rural area, where Pastor Jacob established a church with about 200 people. Every congregation we visited during this trip, we always feel at home, because the believers are most happy, friendly and even though it is our first time meeting them, we feel the kindred Spirit among the believers.
Brother Vin begins by mentioning that he preached 22 services since we came to India beginning of October and he introduces Brother Wycliffe, a real friend and associate who came all the way from Kenya to help him ministering for the remaining time in Andhra Pradesh.
But the SPECIAL ONE is the Unseen One, the One Who delivers, heals, supplies every need, and reveals the Word of the Bible. It takes the Author of the Word to reveal It to our hearts and raise our level of awareness. Where should we live in this hour? What kind of church should we be? It’s not just coming to church, because Seven Thunders were to wake up the Bride to be the super church!
That’s why God sent a prophet to reveal the Hidden Truths laying in the Bible. When that Message sounded we would know Who God is, the Age we are living in, the time and season and God’s program, our position in the Body of Christ, the mystery of our lives hidden in the Book. This Book is like a family album, where you can find your picture, and then you can have confidence that God has chosen you.
The Title of tonight’s service is QUICKENED AND RAISED UP TO LIVE IN THE REALM OF REVELATION AND VISION and the Scripture is 2. Kings 6; a time of war and disturbance, and how Elisha with the Spirit of Elijah uncovered the scheme of the enemy in the hour, when the greatest battle ever was fought, so the people could walk in the light, in victory. These are the ministers in this Hour.
Brother Vin lays out the drama of the situation in 2. Kings, and how Gehazi got so frantic when he saw the enemy surrounding the city, because he was living in the humanistic realm, influenced by the things he saw with his eyes. But Elisha was calm and when he prayed, his servant was able to see the unseen things, all the angels surrounding them.
The Prophet is teaching us in the Message The Ark:
Now, there’s three elements that people live in. First, is the humanistic. Second, is Divine revelation. And, third, vision. Now this, like in prayer, when you pray for anyone, in humanistic, we say, “Well, I-I hope you’ll get well. See, I-I’m hoping. I’m believing with you, trying to use all the faith I can.” that’s human.Second, is Divine revelation, when something is revealed you. You just know, in your heart, it’s going to happen, yet, there’s nothing but just the revelation. And third, is a vision. Course, that’s THUS SAITH THE LORD. That’s perfectly positive.
What a service! Time and space won’t allow me to write it all here, but I just want to mention, that Brother Vin also relates to the story, that Brother Branham tells, from the widow and the bank drafts, that her son sent faithfully every month from India for her and that she thought they were just nice pictures, that she put them to mark her favourite Scriptures in her Bible, but she didn’t know the real value. This is to teach us that we have such riches in Christ and many times we live unconscious and underprivileged.
The Son is a sacrificial man; He secured all the redemptive blessings, and you have it, but you have the wrong concept of it, because you cannot conceptualize the love and sacrifice of the Son, to live in the realm, where all things are supplied for you.
We are placed in the days after Elijah, in the time of the persecution of the church, but are we walking conscious of the authority that all Heaven is behind us? The Alpha church was the Bride Tree, that’s what we are called to be, not ‘I am in the Message.” We are the church, Eternal attributes, chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world. The secret to our success is to surrender our lives.
