Fifteen Bride Elements September 4, 1983 Fifteen (15) Bride elements that lie in her consciousness and form her as to her true character beyond the simple principle of conduct, which you must never discard. 1. She recognizes the true servants of God. Only ones that serve God are in the will of God, the Word of God. She will recognize who William Branham is. A true servant has earmarks and is not a sheep in wolf’s clothing. She stays with the Word. She will go the way that costs her something. 2. She has a doctrine, and the doctrine is the Word without creeds. The doctrine enables her to speak a certain way—His Word. She lost her mind and got the mind of Jesus Christ. He hears His Bride—which were thoughts manifested (just like "Let there be light, and there was light"). 3. She knows the hour in which we live—the Appearing and the Coming. She knows the hour, and Bro. Branham always stressed the hour, the epical season. Now we are in a season within a season—the Day of The Lord. She knows what is going on, because she knows who Elijah is. She knows the hour. She understands the Appearing and the Coming—head returns to Head—the Appearing amongst us in signs and wonders; and she understands that Spirit that was veiled in one instance by the Pillar of Fire for the prophet, having revelation for us, was the same Spirit, which was the Son of man in Spirit form, performing the miracles so that the prophet revealed the Son of man and, at the same time, brought the former rain; and they're together. The Appearing was going to bring on the Coming. 4. She knows the true baptism. She knows it's the evidence of the Word—nothing else. 5. She knows the greater glory—waves of glory. Wesley greater than Luther, Pentecost greater than Wesley, and this glory greater than all. And she knows this greater glory bring us to the Resurrection and an immortal form as we're caught away in a rapture. She understands the Epiphaneia. She knows it's the shining upon. She knows what it‘s all about, because she knows that's how He is to the Gentiles. She understands ‘Alpha and Omega’—all the principles the prophet laid down. She knows them. She understands the greater glory, which will never fail, when the reflection from the prophet was Christ, and we're the mirror. And the strange thing was, these mirrors showed Christ; no longer the man. The man was out of the picture. There's no great ones amongst us. The great One is here. Greater glory—Headship is here. That which is Perfect is come. 6. She understands the falling away. Falling away from what? Revealed truth, our own interpretations, not saying what He said. At Exodus time, change one word and you're gone. 7. She can tell who is righteous and who is unrighteous, because they know righteousness from unrighteousness. 8. She knows the call to discern what is hers in the last hour. She doesn't look at what's going on in the world or at the church (Forget it.) and just sees what is for her. What's for her is the Word, the promise of God in this hour. She doesn't know anything else. She understands the baptism, the gifts. She knows every thing in this hour, because she can discern. You see, she’s at the point of discerning, of separating, of knowing. 9. She knows Sodom and Gomorrah—placing them correctly with the two witnesses, Roberts and Graham; and she knows that once more the preaching of the cross blinds. The Blood doesn't suffice without the Light. She understands Hebrews 6. She knows it's burning time; and, when burning time is there, she knows that He is there with the fan in His hand separating for the burning; and the One that is separating now, the Judge, Who is gathering the wheat into the garner, will one day bring the dead out of the ground. And all wheat will stand there and will be changed, and He will take us up. And the same One will drop His fan and turn to the burning. Oh yeah, the Judge becomes the Executioner, the Executor. The Bride knows these things. 10. She assembles in His Name. She knows His Name, and when she meets in His Name, she is not of those who think that they meet in His name because they say Jesus' Name. She meets in His Name, because she has His Name. She knows that she's Mrs. Jesus. 11. She knows it is time to discern that, though it is the time for Sodom, for fire and for flood, there is a great day here—a greater day here—a greater One here; for the same Elohim that spoke to Abraham, the righteous Judge, is here; and the sentence and verdict are in our favor, as in Genesis 19 and 1 Th 4:16, 5:9, where It says you were not ordained unto wrath, and she knows that she will not have the wrath applied to her. She does not go through the Great Tribulation. She knows that she escapes, because she knows there is Mt. Ebal pronouncing curses, but there's Mt. Gerizim uttering one Word of blessing, and all the curses fall down. It took one Jesus to come and destroy every power of hell. 12. She knows it is time to discern who the true and living God is and to be baptized correctly. Yes, she knows Him. She knows the great Revelation of the hour. She knows, who He is, to be baptized in His Name, the name of The Lord Jesus Christ. She knows what it stands for. 13. She knows that the time of the former rain and latter rain is falling together. 14. She knows the mystery of the Rapture. 15. Conduct—clean living. The point is this: All these qualifications of discernment are at this hour in this Bride and shows she is worthy of the table of the Lord. Two prayers to be prayed: (1) “God, either you deliver me, or I deliver myself from these sins, because I lay them down.” Pray, and keep your eyes open toward God, and believe as you hear the prophet; and you say, (2) “Lord, the other discerning the body lies in Your hands; and, unless You help me…” (And You had better mean it, because there's nothing you can do but mean it, because you cannot give yourself a revelation. There's no way you can do it. You've got to come through the prophet, hopefully the Holy Spirit in you.) …And you say, "Lord, the Word of the season has been opened by the prophet. All other is finished. Give me this day my daily bread—the day of Your Appearing, the day of Your Coming, the Day of the Lord. Give me the bread of revelation of this hour, O God, as it came through the prophet." There's nothing else you can do but stand back and wait. That entitles you to stand up and preach your sermon, "He died. He died. He died. And I'm living, because He died." See, every time you preach that sermon, you’re judging yourself: “Do I believe this? This? Yes, I believe it. I am marching Zion.”
