Moved With Envy: When Truth Exposes the Heart - 140726

ACTS 17 (2) MOVED WITH ENVY: When Truth Exposes The Heart Scriptures: Acts 17:1-10, Isaiah 1:18, Gen 37:5-11, 1 Samuel 18:5-9, Matthew 27:11-18, John 11:47-48, Philippians 1:15-17, James 3:13-18 Theologically, envy is far more than simply wanting what another person has. It is a sin of the heart that opposes God’s sovereign distribution of His gifts, blessings, and callings. At its deepest level, envy is discontent with God’s providence and resentment toward His grace in another person’s life. SEALS: THIRD PULL: SEVENTH SEAL: SHOUT(THE BRIDE) 137 Whereas, Seals deals with the religious disturbance. See? A Seal is opened, a Message is dropped. And then the church is always so set up in its own political ways, and whatever more, and all of its dignitary. And when that real Message drops down, that messenger goes forth and he shakes them to pieces. That’s right. It’s religious disturbance when a Seal is opened. That’s what’s happened. Yeah. Yes. 138 They get all at ease in Zion. The church gets all settled down, and, “We got it all made.” Just like the church of England, they was all settled down. The Catholic church, all settled down, and along come Luther. There was a religious disturbance. Yes, sir! Sure was! Well, the church went on off, with Zwingli. And from Zwingli, come on down to different ones, and to Calvin. And after a while, the Anglican church settled down, and it was just at ease, and along come Wesley. There was a religious disturbance. That’s right. See, it always denotes a religious disturbance. 63-0318 - "The First Seal" ” Rev. William Marrion Branham The Unexpected Enemy Of Revival Envy Is The Sin That Cannot Rejoice In Another Man’s Blessing The First Martyr Was Created By Envy Joseph’s Dreams Stirred Envy MINISTRY HAD MISUNDERSTOOD IT 65 And every time I get around one of them,that's the way it would be. And I thought, Why does them devils do that? Then the preachers, saying, "That's the devil! That's the devil!" They had me believing it.n And then that night up there when He referred to that, I asked Him, I said, "Well, why is it all them mediums and things like that, and them devil-possessed people, that always tell me about it; and the clergy, my brethren, tell me that it's of the evil spirit?" Now listen to what He said, this One who's hanging over there in the picture. He said, "As it was then, so is it now." And He begin to refer to me, that when the ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ began to take place, the ministers said He was Beelzebub—the devil. But the devils said He was the Son of God, the Holy One of Israel. Devils… And look at Paul and Barnabas when they was up there preaching. The ministers said, "These men turn the world up-side-down.They're evil, they're the devil." And a little old fortuneteller out on the street, recognized that Paul and Barnabas was men of God, said, "They are men of God who tell us the way of life." Is that right? Spiritualists and soothsayers, demon-possessed people… 66 But we get so soured down on theology till we don't know nothing about the Spirit. I hope you love me after this. But that's what it is. I mean Pentecost, too! That's right. Just shouting and dancing around doesn't mean you know anything about the Spirit. It's personal contact, face to face, that's what you need. That's the kind of Church God's fixing to raise up, that's right, when they come together in unity and power, in Spirit. And He referred to that. And He told me how that the ministry misunderstood it, and assured me that the ministry had misunderstood it. And when He told me all about this and how that Jesus… 67 I said, "Well, what about this … … these things that happen to me?” And, you see, He said, "That'll multiply and get greater and greater." And He referred to me,telling me how Jesus did it; how that He come and He was possessed with a power that could foreknow things and tell the woman at the well,claimed not to be a healer, claimed to do those things just as the Father showed Him. I said, "Well, what kind of a spirit would that be?" He said, "It was the Holy Spirit.” Then something there happened inside of me, that I realized that the very thing that I turned my back on was what God brought me here for. And I realized that it was just like those Pharisees in the days gone by, they had misinterpreted the Scripture to me. So from then on I took my own interpretation of it, what the Holy Spirit said. I told Him, "I'd go.” He said, "I will be with you.” 55-0117 - "How The Angel Came To Me, And His Commission" ” Rev.
