The Healing Light of His Word Pt.3
JOHN 4:13-26
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly. (Notice – 6 husbands of which none of them had brought a healing to her broken life. Each new husband that came along, no doubt she had hoped that he would be the one that would bring healing to all the scares of what all the previous husbands had left on her life – but we will find out, that it was only when she met the seventh husband, that it was only He who was able to bring her healing, and not just a healing to her life from the outside, but a healing from on the inside of her soul)
19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. (Notice - her first revelation was that God had sent a prophet into the earth – a prophetic ministry)
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. (She begins to talk about her personal beliefs regarding worship – and so the word begins to correct her thinking on that)
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. (Jesus is preaching her a little mini sermon by which He is correcting her thinking to the truth of the word)
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. (this is the soul realm)
*That was the eternal life water that he gave her soul to drink from – it was the revealing of who He was personally to her, but only after she had caught a revelation that there was a prophet in the land, and then also after she had heard the word of truth that had corrected her error, and then after that – “I that speak unto thee am he”
3 stages of levels –
1st pull – Body
2nd pull – Spirit
3rd pull – Soul
The Healing Light of His Word Pt.3
We want to try to pick up from where we left of from last week…
LUKE 1:78-79
78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, (dayspring = the rising of the sun. This visitation of the rising of the SON, we have been witness to in these last days)
79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
There will only be peace when the prince of peace himself rules and reigns from within the heart of man, because this is the reason we don’t live in peace in this current world, is because the nature of man has fallen from what it used to be of the nature of God.
Brother Branham preaches a sermon called “There is a Man Here that can turn on the Light” (29th December 1963). And remember that the word that God sends for the age is the light for the age, and that light for the age has a power within itself give life and to raise up the elected seed for the age.
THERE.IS.A.MAN.HERE.THAT.CAN.TURN.ON.THE.LIGHT_ JEFF.IN V-6 N-1 SUNDAY_ 63-1229M
Don't fear, little Sister, there is a Man here Who can turn on the Light. He can make this Word live.
So this is story here is like the parables of how Jesus also taught – because Christ is the man that can turn on the light, and brother Branham himself is like the big brother, while we are his little sister. And he is telling us not to fear in the darkness of this Laodicean age condition, because there is a man here that is with us of who is able to turn on the light – and He has turned on the light. There is both power in the light, and power in the seed – and the two have been brought together in this hour.
*Because two weeks later, on the Sunday the 12th of January 1964, he preaches the message “Shalom”, and shalom means peace – “peace to the world, a good morning to you, it’s a brand new day, a brand new beginning”, because the SON light has risen - the SON light of the revelation of Himself, and that light of the word has shone in these last days into the hearts of a people who have the ability to hear the voice of God for this day, and that word that has been sent is what is going to bring healing to a fallen world and usher in a new age of peace in the millennium.

79 Sometimes that grain lays in the earth, dormant, all through the--the winter, like seed, winter wheat sowed in the ground. But when that sun gets just right, oh, it's got to live. See? And it can't live without the sun.
And God has made promises for every age and every day. And when the Light gets right, and shines upon that, it'll produce just exactly what the Word said, because He is the Light and the Life.
PSALM 107:20
20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
*In other words - the destructions of a nature of what has been causing man to keep making wars and destroying himself for the past 6000 years – God is going to deliver man from those destructions, because in the Millennium there is going to be piece for a 1000 years with no more wars.
GOD'S.PROVIDED.WAY.OF.DEALING.WITH.SIN_ PHOENIX.AZ FRIDAY_ 54-0305
E-17 ...Soon daylight will come and the Son of Righteous will rise with healing in His wings. This mortal will take on immortality. We'll see Him as He is, and be made like unto His own glorious body, and shall never be sick, or a heartache, or a disappointment.
*And so God is going to send healing to the destructive nature of man by sending His word (the healing light of His Word) in this end time age.
MALACHI 4:2a
2a But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings;
*Three levels of healing. The first pull was for the healing of the body, the second pull for the healing of the spirit, but then there was a third pull of the revealing of Christ Himself (like the woman at the well) for the healing of the SOUL.
INVESTMENTS_ PHOENIX.AZ SATURDAY_ 63-0126
137 And as I preached over at the Central Assemblies, or the First Assembly, the other night, how God's great nature projected Jesus. See, all the rest of the nature was fallen. He couldn't take a prophet, because he was born of sexual desire, and he was a fallen nature. But God, in His love, projected One without sin.
***Notice here how that unbelief of the word (of what took place in Eden) and the fallen nature of man are directly connected together.
*And so the only way that God was able to bring healing to the fallen nature of man in this hour, was by sending the return of the fullness of His word (the Logos) and He has done that by the rising of the SON light on the revealing of truth in this end time age – Christ was the man that could turn on the light, and this SON light of what he was going to turn on was what had been sealed up in the two wings of the Old and New Testament, of which has now been made known to us in this hour through the channel and voice of the ministry of the seventh angel.
DANIEL 12:2-4
2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. (Let me drop this comment in here (a little bit off topic).
This word “contempt”, it means to like look down (figuratively) on something in disgust, to repulse, to abhor and detest something or someone.
*And one of the weaknesses with all of us human’s, is that it is so easy for us to look down on things of what we actually shouldn’t look down on because of the fact that we so often misunderstand the character and intent of a person.
**Let’s say that someone’s intention toward you was to do you good, and of which they actually did do you good, but for some reason you misunderstood their motive and thought that they had purposed evil against you, then as long as you hold to that misunderstanding in your thinking, then you will always feel a level of contempt towards that person because of that misinformation that you have formed in your mind about them.
**And so that is the same way of how that people’s attitude toward God has become, and it’s because of how easy it is for people to misunderstand God, and to think that He is of a bad character, and this is because of how easy it is for a human being to wrongly interpret certain events of our lives of how God allows things to happen in our lives - like how God allowed little Sharon Rose to die while His prophet was begging for Him to spare her life – and so even God’s prophet got very close to walking away from the Lord over how he had misunderstood God. And so if it hadn’t been for something deeper down, he would have held a big chip of contempt on his shoulder against God ever since that time.
**But for many people, and especially people of the world, their misunderstanding and contempt towards God is never corrected, even after this life has ended and they have gone to their graves – and so their contempt towards God is everlasting. And even after they are resurrected again at the second resurrection, many will never come to know the true and loving character of God’s true nature.
3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
*We are now living at the time of the end of when the words that were sealed up at the time of Daniel have been unsealed to us at this time.
And they have been unsealed in order to shine the light of His word and release the healing power that are in His wings for the healing of the soul (the character) of man.
REVELATION 10:4/7
4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
REVELATION 10:7
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished (the revelation of GOD would be made known and fully unveiled), as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
**Notice - Seal it up Danial. Seal it up John. But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, the Sun of righteousness shall arise with healing in his wings - with a light that is rising so brightly that all the previous candle lights of man-made ideas all fade away into insignificance at the rising of the Sun.
ISAIAH 60:1-2
1 ¶ Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
SHALOM_ SIERRA.VISTA.AZ V-13 N-5 SUNDAY_ 64-0112
87 ...Jesus said He was the Light of the world. The Bible said that He is the Word. And the manifested, or the vindicated, Scripture is the Light.
SONG OF SOLOMON 2:10-13
10 My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
11 For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
12 The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;
13 The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
This is the resurrection of the sleeping saints after the cold winter of 2000 years of the seven church ages have passed, like how sleeping beauty was curst by the wicked fairy, and so it would take the return and kiss of the prince to wake her up from her 100-year sleep, and then the fallen kingdom is restored along with all the inhabitants, and then they all lived happily ever after and that was the end of the story. That is why when you get to the end of the book of Ruth, it doesn’t say anything about them dyeing – it’s like they just all lived happily ever after, and it’s the same thing with the book of Esther, there is no mention of their deaths, but it also ends with them living happily ever after.
*Then there is the story of Snow White, and the seven dwarfs. Show White speaks of a spotless bride, and the seven dwarfs are symbolic of the seven church age messengers, and the wicked queen represents the Catholic Church hierarchy.
These stories of “Sleeping Beauty” and “Snow White” are based on versions of these stories that are centuries old, but that all have the same theme – A girl, a curse, a slumber, a prince appearing, and an awakening, and a marriage, and a kingdom restored, and then they all lived happily ever after. This is the story of Adam and Eve in Eden again.
**We know that it had been a night time season for the life of this woman at the well – she needed a prince to appear in her life.
She had had 5 successive broken relationships with men of which each one had come to a heartbreaking end, and now the man that she was currently living with was married to another woman, and so she was in like a double mess.
And so what she needed was to have the sunlight of the healing touch of the great Jehovah to come into her darkened life.
JOHN 4:11-14
11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
JOHN 4:25-26
25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. (This was like an atomic bomb going off in her soul)
**And so we find out here that the way that Jesus gave a drink of this water of eternal life to this woman at the well, was by the revealing of Himself to her of who He was, because she recognized him for who he really was, and that recognizing was at the level of her soul of what she believed.
*And so that was to her the sunrise of a shining upon her life of the SON light with healing in His wings for her life.
*And this healing could only take place because of the revealing light of His word of the revealing of Himself that shone as a truth and a revelation into her soul, of which not only would it bring healing to her soul, but it would quench her spiritual thirst to the point of where she would never thirst again.
