MAN SHALL LIVE BY EVERY WORD OF GOD

WORD is thought expressed. The Bible says out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. We realise that the words people use make us know the sort of people they are. Let every man be a liar and God's word only be the truth. When the devil tempted Jesus, He answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.
I AM the Bread of Life
Now, notice (John 1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
See that you do all I command you; do not add to it or take away from it. If you not eat of his body (the Word), you are not part of him.

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. No prophecy of the scripture God is His own interpreter. When He said let there be light, it continues to say and there was light. Jesus said when the Holy Spirit comes, it will lead you into all truth and remind you of all I have told you.

Eve disobeyed just one word of God and that brought about death. Since God does not change, we will also die (eternally seperated from God) if we disbelieve one word of it. Therefore the Bible says in the book of Revelation that anyone who adds or removes a word from the scripture, his part will be taken from the lamb's book of life. We therefore have the choice to either hold on to God's word add or remove and to either live or die. Paul went on to say that: Let God's curse fall on anyone, including us or even an angel from heaven, who preaches a different kind of Good News than the one we preached to you.

Remember when King David failed to follow ALL the instructions on how to carry the ark of God, it brought about death within the camp. God does not bypass His word and do anything. Whatever He has said that He will do. There are countless number of prophecies in the Bible that have been fulfilled and all scripture will compass to pass before the end.

Please do not let anyone decieve you to believe that so long as you attend Church services or pray, you will go to heaven. Jesus is the WORD and He will judge us on that day. I will end with this quote:
"Behold, I am coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy in this book."

God is the Holy Spirit and the Word. Jesus said the Words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and life. So if you reject any of His word, it is a clear indication that you have not recieved the Holy Ghost yet. It does not matter whether you can pray for someone to be healed or speak in tongues or whatever.

Jesus Is Lord

May God bless you.

I SUFFER NOT A WOMAN TO TEACH


Some Reasons for Allowing Women Priests/Ministers
I can understand why so many Christians think that it is ok for women to be priests or ministers in the Church. Among these reasons are:
1. The first person to see Jesus after the resurrection was a woman.
2. Jesus instructed Mary not to hold on to Him but she should go and tell the others about his resurrection.
3. In Christ there is no male or female, free or bond, Jew or Gentile, for all are equal.
4. When Jesus died, the curtain in the temple got torn and so all including women have direct access to God.
5. So many women have won souls for the Lord Jesus.
6. The Samaritan woman went to the city to tell everyone about Jesus.
7. The Holy Spirit was poured on both men and women on the day of Pentecost.
8. In Christ there is no male or female for all are one.

Unfortunately, none of these excuses above allows a woman to be a minister/pastor. God is not the author of confusion and the Bible does not contradict itself. Notwithstanding, from the above references, it is clear that the woman can witness to others.


What The Bible Says
Paul said emphatically concerning this subject, "this is a commandment of the Lord." Jesus stated "obey my command if you love me."

1. To the woman he said,
“I will make your pains in childbearing very severe;
with painful labor you will give birth to children.
Your desire will be for your husband,
and he will rule over you. (Genesis 3:16)

2. Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord. But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. (1 Corinthians 14:34-38 KJV)


3. Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. (1 Timothy 2:11-15 KJV)

4. This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach. (1 Timothy 3:1-2)

5. I believe that the scripture below also has a lesson for us.
Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. (Revelation 2:20)

Again
Some argue that women have to be priest in order for them to be saved. But the scripture says: she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. (1 Timothy 2:11-15 KJV)


Peter said, 'knowing this first, that NO prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. (2 Peter 1:20)
God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar. (Rom 3:4)
Paul said, "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed." (Gal. 1:8)

"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock." (Matthew 7:21-24)

"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." (Matthew 7:13-14)

THE PILLAR OF FIRE PHOTOGRAPHED


We Would See Jesus 58 0612- By William Marrion Branham
 (Please note that this is unedited. They are the words of William Branham himself.)

Look. When He was here on earth, how many knows that that was the Pillar of Fire that followed the children of Israel in the wilderness, that It was Christ, the Angel of the covenant? All right. And how many knows that that was Jesus in Jesus, that same Spirit? Look, when they questioned Him, Saint John 6, calling your^?^attention to it. They said, “You say you’re greater than Abraham?” And said, that, “Why, you’re only fifty years old, yet.”
He said, “Before Abraham was, I AM.” I AM was in the burning bush. Is that right? A Pillar of Fire^When He was here on earth, He said, “I came from God, and I go to God.” Did He say it? And then, if He came from the Pillar of Fire, He returned back to it again.
After His death, burial, and resurrection, Saint Paul was on his road down to Damascus and big bright Light struck in his face and blinded him. None of the rest of them saw It. Paul saw It. It blinded him; he fell on the ground. What is this Pillar of Fire, again? “Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me?”
“Who are You, Lord?”
“I’m Jesus.” Is that right?

E-56 When Peter was in prison, Who was It in that Light, walked before him, opened the door? Surely it was. He returned back to the Pillar of Fire. That was in that day. Here He is the same today. Here’s His picture, even taken by the mechanical eye of the camera. It isn’t psychology. It’s the power and the resurrection of the living Christ, Who remains the same from the Old Testament, New Testament, and today just the same. You say, “Brother Branham, can I depend on that?” The vine will bring forth the same fruit. If that was the Holy Ghost, that Pillar of Fire in Christ that made Him discern spirit and do that, if He’s in us tonight as we say He is, He will do the same or He ain’t the same Christ.
Here He is as millions of the church knows it. Millions of the church people knows it. Now the scientific world knows it. One hangs in Washington, D. C., in the Religious Hall of Art,the only supernatural being was ever photographed in all the world. George J. Lacy of the FBI, Fingerprint and Documents, here in Houston, Texas, examined it. It’s right, and put his own You see the write up on it, on the book. That’s true. Yes, sir. The only

E-57 And in Germany they said they wanted to see if they could take the picture. And they stood there, and we got a great breakfast where them Dutch Reform, and Lutheran, and all kinds of ministers, and they was questioning me. And this German said, “Can I take the pictures?” (At Lausanne.) One of those great big German cameras with the Poloroid. I said, “He might permit it, sir. I do not know. He did in America two or three times.” I said, “He might do it. I don’t know.” So it^And I said, “If He starts^”
He said, “Can I take the picture?”
I said, “It isn’t a flash?”
He said, “No, sir, it isn’t a flash. It’s just a still picture; they don’t have to have a flash.”
I said, “All right, ’cause I don’t want to see a flash, and don’t take pictures while it’s going on, ’cause it’s a Light Itself.”
And so_just then, I felt It coming, I said, “All right, sir. Here He is.” And stood up, I said, “You standing there with that Roman collar on like a priest. I said, “You’re not a priest. You’re a leader of thirty-two thousand communists.”
And he fell across the plat_his table like that. Said, “My God, that’s right, mister.”
I said, “You’re not a German, and neither are you a Swiss, but you’re an Italian.”
Said, “That’s right.”
I said, “The reason you never eat your breakfast is because that you got stomach ulcers.”
He said, “God, have mercy on me.” And right there, God healed him. That big German camera taken the picture just as fast as it could. And that German rushed right down, and put them in the acid, and brought it forth. Here was the Holy Ghost, the Pillar of Fire, coming down. Here’s where It anointed, and here’s where It went back. Fifty thousand received Christ as personal Saviour. Certainly. He remains the same.
