“He is the first fruits of the resurrection.” Is that right? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] Watch. Then, what is He? “He is the Head of the Body, which is His Church, Bride.” Uh-huh. Then, the Bride-Body must follow the Head, for it is part of His resurrection and part of the mystery. It’s impossible for it not to go. Oh, my! It’s part of God’s mystery, how God revealed Himself here and raised It up by the Word, so He reveals the Church and raising It up by the same Word. It’s a part of His threefold mystery.

As the Head was took from the grave, so must the Body follow Him back to Eden. Where, the Head of the family, the Man, the Bridegroom; the Bride being the Body of the Bridegroom, must follow, the Bride, because that’s the Head. And the Head is revealed, and come back with Eternal Life; and the Body must follow that, because it is Husband and Wife again. Amen! And as long as you’re pregnated with the same Word, which is His Body; you’ve took His Body, become in Him, when you took the Word. Not the creed; the Word! Oh, my!

Quote: So on this Third Phase, we are changing over from the Testimony of Jesus to the Spirit of Prophesy. We are going to ‘Thus saith the Lord’ or you keep still. Then you shall see the real Fivefold, because the real Fivefold, they will have ‘Thus saith the Lord’. They’ll speak by direct Inspiration from an open channel from Heaven. And three phases must place the Fivefold under direct Inspiration. By an open channel from Heaven will we hear the Voice of God direct from Heaven. And this Fivefold Ministry will minister to your needs, they’ll speak to your needs, they’ll speak to the demons in your soul, because they’ll have the Intelligence of Hebrews 4:12.

Your faith has got to be anointed. And so the people like the Dynamics, they love the feeling, but they can’t take the Word. So God in His Wisdom disguised Charity the Headstone as the Word, and that’s your place of trying. God is trying you if you can take the Word, if you can take every Word of that Headstone. And the Headstone enmorphes Itself, It disguises Itself in seasons to try your faith. So in this season the Headstone is here as a Revelation of the Fivefold Ministry to try your faith. So you better take it. Identify the Headstone, that the Headstone has been here as an Apostolic Ministry.

It’s the Headstone just disguised. And the people could take it if you preach it as Charity. When it’s now preached as an Apostolic Ministry, they reject that one. But in spite of the Headstone Revelation, because the Prophetic, the Apostolic, all came form what? The Headstone. This Ministry is the Headstone Ministry. So now we are in a trying phase, God trying your faith. So don’t give up, say amen to every Word in this season. That is your blessing. Say amen to every spoken Word, that is your blessing. That is your blessing brother. So you can’t reject one Word. He’s been trying the Bride, changing the forms which the Headstone has been coming. But the Headstone has been here, disguised, that was your whole trial. God was trying you on the Word. Take the Word. Take every Word that comes out of that Headstone, then you shall be sealed, you shall be blessed, you shall be anointed, you shall be born again. Because it’s the Word of God. So now do you know what we’re trying here, what we’re tying to do, that the Holy Ghost is doing a work. Trying the Bride on the Word and that’s been the greatest test. Not a man, not a man, don’t get it mixed up. It has been the Headstone, God enmorphes Himself, changes Himself. Comes down an Apostolic Ministry, changes, disguises Himself. Some get stumbled. Is that a man? That is not a man. That is still the Headstone speaking out, the Ministry of Jesus Christ. Amen. Praise God. Amen. So God trying and trying, by the Word. You may be seated. Amen.

Now Brother Branham was given the Ministry of Jesus Christ . May 7th, 1946 in Three Pulls and then He was adopt... an Angel came and Seven Angels came on the end and he was adopted. So I hope you understand it. But that’s the difference... there’s a difference between the Prophet and the Bride. Now here’s the Bride. We don’t get the Ministry of Jesus Christ like that, Brother Branham was given it. But the Holy Spirit has to be here for us to be molded into this image and then we are given the Ministry of Jesus Christ to catch the Headstone when we are adopted, not before ministers.
So power without character is satanic. So the revelation laying up here is that on the Third Phase is that Virtue is the outlet for the Guide to began the born again Son Spiritual experience. And He will take you into a place of trying. I been telling you this for thirty some years. Trying, tutored, child trained and the Holy Spirit Himself is a Tutor coming in as
a Guide with Virtue and leads you all the way to Charity. And that’ll be Charity as Charity; the tremendous victory in the Love Divine.The Dynamics to our Mechanics when Charity is Charity. But when Charity is disguised as Virtue, it’s forming you into the Word image. And you pray for the sick and they get healed sometimes. But when you’re adopted you command the devils to come out, that’s the difference.

I believe gifts are wonderful, and we need them and respect them. But I believe the time is coming when it’s going to be on a higher standard than that. Why, “After all these things is done away, that which is love will endure forever.” See? It’s the love of God. We’ll just—we’ll just be standing, preaching like this, or talking, and just the love will just settle over the building. Whew! My!

But the true Church, all over the world, has shaped down to a place that there’s come a ministry among It, just exactly like the ministry of Jesus Christ. Now what they got? They got the thing in condition. Now what’s the next thing? This rejected Stone, of the pyramid, cut out of the mountain (without what?) without hands. God sent It. Do you see it? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] The rejected One, the rejected Stone, is the head of This; is the head, the capstone. And the very One that they’ve rejected, through the Gentile age, is Christ. And Christ was not cut and put in here as a vicar, or son of God, or some great dignitary in the church. He is the Holy Spirit. And the cap of the pyramid will be Christ coming. Do you see it? [“Amen.”]

Now, because that they’re in shape, (See where I got this shaped here like the pyramid, the rising of the saints?) makes the march into Glory. You understand it now? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] Christ, the Headstone, the rejected Stone, the all-seeing Eye, coming exactly like the Bible said. And Daniel said he watched this Gentile age until a Stone come out of the mountain, that wasn’t cut with hands. They have never put a capstone on that pyramid. [Brother Branham knocks on the pulpit two times.] It wasn’t cut by man’s hands. It’s God’s hand that cut the Stone. You see it? [“Amen.”] And what did It do? It hit the image right smack in the feet, and broke it to pieces, ground it into powder. Hallelujah! What happened at that time, the coming of that Stone? [Brother Branham knocks on the pulpit four times.] Up went the Church into Glory, at the Rapture, ’cause it ended the Gentile dispensation. God ended it up; the coming of that Stone.

Where are we at, sirs? What's all of this about? I'm asking you. The other angels was messengers, men of the earth. But this Angel... This said, to the angel of the church of Laodicea; to the angel of the church of Ephesus, messengers of the earth (See?), men, messengers, prophets, and so forth to the church. But this One didn't come from the earth; He come down from heaven, because the mystery's all finished. And when the mystery's finished, the Angel said, "Time shall be no more," and seven thunders throwed their voices out.
What if it is something to let us know how to enter in to the rapturing faith. Is it? Will we run and leap over walls? Is there something fixing to happen, and these old marred, vile bodies are going to be changed? Can I live to see it, O Lord? Is it so close that I'll see it? Is this the generation? Sirs, my brethren, what time is it? Where are we at?"

Is this the mystery, of the Thunders, that will bring back the Headstone? You know, the pyramid never was capped. The Headstone is yet to come. It’s been rejected. Could it be, brethren, sisters? Or, is this that Third Pull that He told me, three or four years ago? The First Pull, you remember what happened? I tried to explain It. He said, “Don’t do that.”  The Second Pull, He said, “Don’t try.” And I pulled, anyhow. You remember? [Congregation says, “Yes.”—Ed.] All of you remember. It’s on tape and everything. And then He said, “Now there’s a Third Pull coming, but don’t try to explain It.” You see how I approached This, tonight? I don’t know. But, I feel duty bound, to my church, to say something. You draw your own conclusion.

Now, will this be the mystery that would open up, that would bring Christ, bring a Power to the Church? See? We’ve already…  We believe in repentance, being baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ. We believe in receiving the Holy Ghost. We have signs, wonders, miracles, speaking in tongues, and the things that the early Church had. And, frankly, there’s been more done, right here, than is wrote in the Book of Acts, in this one little group of people, this little bitty ministry of ours here. What about the world over? See? More than is wrote in the Book of Acts, same kind! The raising of the dead! Remember, there was only about three people raised, of dead, by Jesus Christ. And we have on record, doctors’ record, five. See?  “Works that I do, more than this shall you do.” I know the King James says “greater,” but you couldn’t do nothing greater. More of it! He was in one Person then; He’s in the whole Church now. See? “More than this shall you do, for I go unto My Father.”

If this is the Third Pull, then there is a great ministry lying ahead. I don’t know. I can’t say. I—I don’t know.

So understand Church that a Joseph Perfection seed is to come to fruition with Joseph’s Seven Colour Rainbow Coat. An Adopted Son of God with the Pillar of Fire veiled, what is that? That’s God’s Grace to the Eleventh Hour Workers in the very hour of judgement. Notice he shall bring forth the Headstone, Capstone, Joseph Perfection Capstone. And just continuing with the quote,

The Ministry of Christ must be here to catch the Headstone. So the Prophet is gone but we’ve got to bring the Ministry back here and place it. Now watch, let’s watch Jesus. He had the fullness of the Holy Ghost at the Jordan River then He went into the wilderness to be tested because God cannot give you the Power until you are tested. So His character had to be tested and He defeated the devil by the Word. ‘It is written. It is written. It is written. It is written.’

So now… So now Luke 4:14,amen (let me just read this other part here, hang on one second…OK) So now Luke 4:14, Jesus returned in Power, but before the Power the season of the Acceptable Year of the Lord had to be identified before He could use that Power. And it is the same thing for the Bride today. The season must be identified right in the Day of Vengeance, which the Bride herself must take. What season are you speaking about Brother Coleman? Brother Branham said that there would come another Year of Jubilee. That is the season that must be identified
