Preparing for the Supernatural
JEREMIAH 9:5-6
5 And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.
6 Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.
The greatest danger is not Covid-19, it is a lack of understanding because of the rejection of the word and the deception of the hour that we are living in.
Even persecution is endurable if it is understandable, but the people of the world are in the midst of deceit because they have refused to know the Lord by the message that he has sent in this last day by a vindicated prophet.
DANIEL 11:32
32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. (Strength comes by the knowledge of the truth, but deception makes a person weak. Eve was deceived, and that deception led her and the human race to weakness and poverty) Truth sets you free, but deception binds you in prison.
JEREMIAH 9:23-24
23 ¶ Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: (Glory = to praise, boast, be boastful)
24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.
Preparing for the Supernatural
It is important for us to realize that as believers of this message, that there has already been many supernatural events that have taken place in our personal lives to bring us to the place of where we are today in the revelation of this hour.
Remember that God does not make a big show of things like we humans often do, and so 99.9 percent of the supernatural things of God take place at a level that is mostly not seen or understood by people because God is dealing in a realm of what it seems so simple and common to us that we miss seeing Him, but as trained believers of this message it is important for us to learn the language of God in these things of how His supernatural hand of providence works in the everyday common events of our lives to lead us to a greater understanding of Himself.
He is divinely involved is every minutest detail of your life for the purpose of bringing you to a full revelation of Himself in this hour.
DANIEL 11:32
32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries (we are living right now in the fulfillment of this – flatteries is like the smooth talk of politicians promising people things to win over the peoples favor – fake news to deceive the people): but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
Notice that exploits are directly connected to a people that know their God – they shall be strong, and they will do exploits.
“Exploit” = a notable or heroic act, an act remarkable for brilliance or daring; a bold deed - a heroic act or an act worthy of praise.

32 Now, if you noticed in the Scripture reading there in the Psalms, it kept saying, "God is my rock." Do you know what a rock represents in the Bible? A rock in the Bible, here, represents "the revelation of God." See, "God is my revelation." He is, see. The revelation of the Word is the rock.
33 Cause, Peter one day when... Jesus had asked the question, "Who does man say I the Son of man am?"
34 And one of them said, "You are... Some of them say you are Moses, or Elijah, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets." But that wasn't the question.
"Who do you say I am?"
35 He, Peter spoke up, these famous words, and said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God."
36 He said, "Blessed art thou, Simon, son of Jonas, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to thee, but My Father which is in Heaven. And upon this rock!" See?
37 And David speaking here, "God is our rock." God is our rock when God has been revealed to us. That becomes a rock, see. God is our rock

144 Do as David did, put your future into His hands. Don't look to anything else, but put your... David said here, he said--said, "My time is in His hands." You notice here in the Psalms where we read it, in 62, "My time is in His hand. He is my rock." What is He? "He is revealed to me. He is the revealed Truth.
“He is the revealed Truth” Not just having the knowledge of the scriptures in the memory of a person’s mind, but it is when that scripture is being lived out and interpreted in your life in this age, then that is the truth revealed – that is the living word again in human flesh just as Jesus was in His day. You are also the truth reveal – the truth revealed is the light of the age.
We saw how that in the ministry of Brother Branham, many exploits were wrought by God through his life because he was the word of Malachi 4 made manifest in this day – and the bride also have their part to continue on in that same ministry of Christ.
So when you begin to see how God has dealt with you over the years, then you can begin to understand the language of how God deals with you, and then you begin to advance in your trust and faith in Him that he will continue to lead you all the way to every promise for this age because He has already been doing that your entire life up to this point.
PHILIPPIANS 1:6
6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
The good work in you is to first bring you to a knowledge of Himself.
Article Extract:
(The Guardian) April 17, 2020 (This is partly abbreviated to save time) — The unspoken truth is that the coronavirus provides a pretext to powerful financial interests and corrupt politicians to precipitate the entire World into a spiral of mass unemployment, bankruptcy and extreme poverty. This is the true picture of what is happening. Poverty is worldwide. While famines are erupting in Third World countries, closer to home, in the richest country on earth, "millions of desperate Americans wait in long crowded lines for handouts. Miles-long lines formed at food banks and unemployment offices across the US over the past week".
In India "food is disappearing . . . in shanty towns, too scared to go out, walking home or trapped in the street crackdowns . . . there have been 106 coronavirus deaths as of today (In India), to put things in perspective 3,000 Indian children starve to death each day. From Mumbai to New York City it's the "Globalization of Poverty." Production is at a standstill, starvation in Asia and Africa, famine in the US. All countries are now Third World countries with "Thirdworldisation" of the so-called high income "developed countries." In Italy people are running out of food. Reports confirm that the Mafia rather than the government "is gaining local support by distributing free food to poor families in quarantine who have run out of cash".
This article is not painting a pretty picture, but this is what we have all known of what has been foretold to us by the scriptures and by the message of the hour, because this is all a result of the rejection of the word in this generation. Look at the suffering that the Jews went through in AD 70 only 37 years after they crucified Christ in AD33. This generation crucified the word by their creeds and dogmas and their rejection of the truth back in the early 1960’s, that’s over 50 years ago.
So as believers of this message, where do we stand in this hour? What is the next thing for us in our maturity and our advancement as a people and as the bride of Christ? God has been preparing us for the supernatural.
I KINGS 17:1-9
1 ¶ And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. (Notice - This man had power to control the weather – have we seen a man in this age that God also gave him power to control the weather? – so we see history repeating itself again, so this is a prophecy of this age because look at who was alive at the time of that Elijah, there was an Ahab (a backslidden president), with a Jezebel as a wife (a type of the catholic church) with her false pagan priests, and then there was Elijah with a ministry of the power of the spoken word that could speak to storms and control the weather)
2 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
3 Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. (This was a supernatural event that God use to sustain this prophetic ministry. He was the one who carried within him the word for that hour, but it was because of the sin of this man Ahab and the nation under him that caused this famine and this economic crisis event to take place on the entire nation – look at who is being hit the worst out of all the nations with this Covid 19, and then look at whose nation this story in the bible is showing us in prophecy form – it is America)
5 So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook. (Bread, meat, and water – that is all you really need for survival, and of course you need shelter, naturally and also spiritually – under His wings)
7 And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.
8 ¶ And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
9 Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a (Very wealthy businessman?) widow woman there to sustain thee. (She was commanded by God to sustained this man, but how did that command appear to her – there was something placed in her heart by God to receive this man just like God has put the same thing in our hearts to receive the Elijah of this day)
If I was God, then according to my natural thinking I would have probably chosen to send Elijah to someone with plenty of financial means – the last person I would have chosen would have been a widow woman with no money who along with her son were both about to starve to death – how was she going to sustain him?
**Look at the condition that the rejection of the word had cause upon innocent people.
I KINGS 17:10-16
10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks (Notice that she was doing what she needed to do right up to the time of when it looked like everything had failed – that is what we are to do also, just keep going on being faithful and doing and knowing that God has promised that he will never leave us nor forsake us even if it means like the 3 Hebrew children in Babylon, being literally cast into the fire): and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
11 And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.
12 And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die. (Look at the judgement - Starvation of innocent people and children because of a nation’s rejection of the word of God)
13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.
14 For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.
15 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days. (Notice that during this time of economic crisis and financial loss, and when everyone else was starving and dying, she fed not only herself and her son but also her entire house because of her obedience to the saying of Elijah (a woman that her past denominational husband was dead). God sent to her Elijah the prophet and she came into contact with his ministry and that was a supernatural event within itself as we have read in the scriptures – God arranged all of that, and then the words of that prophet (with the Elijah anointing upon him), when she obeyed those words, then the supernatural that had worked on the prophet now worked on her and ushered her into a higher realm of provision and means – a supernatural realm of means and supply)
16 And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.
**Now we need to learn something from this story of the ways of God in order to see how God is showing us how that He will also deal with us in this age, and how he will also deal with us in our personal lives, because often His will is not to bring us into a greater wealth of a financial security within the monetary system of this corrupt world (in order to sustain us), because we would just learn to trust and rely more and have more confidence in the natural realm of riches and monetary financial power – but in this hour, God is wanting for us to learn to operate by a realm that is higher and far more secure and reliable than any and all of the financial systems of the world.
REVELATION 3:17-18
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
350-1 LAODICEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.9
"Buy of Me, gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich."
Now these people had plenty of gold, but it was the wrong kind. It was that gold that bought men's lives and destroyed them. It was the gold that warped and twisted human character, for its love was the root of all evil.
351-3 LAODICEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.9
"You had better come before it is too late," saith the Lord, "and buy of Me gold tried in the fire and then you will be truly rich." Are we getting it? Listen to me, "Naked (physically) we came into the world, but naked (spiritually) we will NOT leave it." Oh no, we are going to take something with us. What that something is, is ALL we can take with us, nothing less and nothing more. So we had better be real careful now to see that we take something that will make us right before God. So, then, what will we take with us? We will take our CHARACTER, brother, that is what we will take with us. Now what kind of character will you take with you? Will it be like HIS Whose character was molded by suffering in the fiery furnace of affliction, or will it be the softness of this character-less Laodicean people? It is up to each one of us, for in that day every man will bear his own burden.
Notice - First the ravens feed Elijah (that is not natural, that is definitely supernatural), then this same Elijah who had entered into that higher realm of a supernatural system of provision as we have also see take place in this hour by the Elijah spirit of this day in his ministry – “How many squirrels do you need”?, these things in the message are showing us something far greater than just interesting stories in the message because God is trying to show us a greater realm than that of the current monetary system, because one day that will all fail us and we will need to go to a higher system of provision and survival – so God is preparing us now for that supernatural realm.
MATTHEW 14:14-21
14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick. (We have also seen this take place again in our generation)
15 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place (notice, just like Elijah was in a desert place), and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. (Victuals is food, and the idea was for the people to use their own money to buy food – this was the natural realm financial system thinking and reasoning of the disciples)
16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. (It seemed to the disciples like he was a bit crazy, but if you think in the realm of this higher system then you can understand what Jesus realm of thinking was, He was not thinking in earthly limitation thinking of dollars and pennies, he was thinking and operating in another monetary system of a supernatural realm while the disciples were wondering how much bread they could buy with the limited funds that they had)
17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
18 He said, Bring them hither to me.
19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
So with our story of Elijah, after his time in the wilderness, God then leads him to a widow woman’s house where there is no money or means – that is not normal of what we would think - this is a mystery in the bible that has been opened up to us at this time concerning these last days.
MATTHEW 6:30-34
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
***So first the ravens feed Elijah because God wanted to teach him about a higher realm of the supernatural provision, and then when that was done, then God wanted him to share that third pull spoken word power realm secret with a widow woman whose denominational husband had died and now she finds herself in a world of economic disaster.
It often takes desperation to usher us into a higher realm of thinking and a higher realm of provision because unfortunately as believers we have become so dependent and trusting in a man-made financial system (that is actually very fragile) and we have come to subconsciously believe in the mighty dollar so much that God has to smash that thing in order to focus our thinking to begin to believe in a higher system of the supernatural.
Opening scripture:
JEREMIAH 9:23-24
23 ¶ Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:
24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.
This widow woman came to know the Lord through the ministry of Elijah in a way that she never knew him before – and that was in the realm of a supernatural provision.
**God has also been preparing us for all these years to enter into this realm of the supernatural also.
