In The Midst Of All The Silence Friday, October 08, 2010

After reading the chicken and the egg story on YF and the quote of the day, I am moved to share a similar testimony. It is a testimony to the quote of the day today, how this Word has all the answers, and how this Word is the Word of God that reveals the thoughts and intents of the heart.

I will try to just hit the main points. 10 years ago, not long after I heard the Message, I was terribly burdened for my family (my parents and one younger sister). I had a dream about them all and through the dream I felt that they would be saved, and with some other revelations, I testified of it. And I always thought it would be right at the end and my sister would be first. About 2 yrs. later, I had another dream in which I felt that they would be saved, and the Lord confirmed it to me in the Bible the next morning. However, over the years I have seen absolutely no sign of anything from any of them, but those two times are an "absolute" to me--like Brother Branham says you can wind your way back down and know that that was God. I have had my ins and outs and ups and downs and have thought about it many times but seen nothing, and the Lord has not given me anything about it in quite a few years, but I have always thought of Brother Branham’s words, like the quote of the day today:

"When you said, "Mountain, be moved," and it still stands there, you say, "Well, it didn't happen?" Oh, it did happen. When you said, "Mountain, move," maybe one little significant grain of sand turned loose out of the hundreds of billions and billions of tons. One little grain moved, but it's begin to take place. Hold that faith and watch that mountain disappear. Certainly. Thou shall say in thy heart, "Disease, move from my child. Disease, move from my body in the Name of the Lord Jesus," and don't doubt. Right there the good germs take on a new armor and a new weapon, and the enemy begins to back up. He's defeated because Christ, in the drinking of His myrrh at Calvary, defeated the devil and every one of his powers."

Well, a couple of months ago, through a chain of events that I could have never predicted, I became terribly burdened for my sister because of some things that she had become involved in (namely a "church" she had been influenced to go to which teaches the most unbelievable errors) I was almost physically sick about it. I put in a prayer request for her along with my family and for some things for myself, including to have and to know I have the real Holy Spirit, and I applied the Token to her. In trying to keep this shorter, I will just say that I was moved to write to her and I finally settled in comparing the things they teach with scripture upon scripture (which was a truly humbling experience with the Lord to realize how He truly does write His laws upon the fleshly tables of our hearts and to see the Word call out the things that are wrong). Also, during this, I could see my dream might be happening, I thought, so I felt the Lord’s leading, and also the Lord answered my other prayers in a supernatural way. However, the letter was taking so long--there was just no end to it, as Brother Branham always said you could just take one little verse and speak years on it--although it was not my words, just their quote and quoted scripture beside it. I became frustrated and just wanted her to hear the Messages (obviously, but she has rejected it before). So I felt such an urgency to get something to her, but I knew I would never finish the letter and as I listened to the Messages I just would think how if she could just hear this it would be alright, but I know not to force things and God has to do it. So I started to look for a few Messages that I thought would be good and take a break from the other. I pulled up Absolute in PDF and scrolled down and left it without reading it. I went away from the computer to take care of some things and while I was doing that, I felt so confused and frustrated and I prayed to God to help me know what to do. I felt His leading but I did not want to do the wrong thing and I had no idea how to go about this but I had to do something. I knew He could show me, but how? How would I know exactly what to do? I needed more than a feeling and I knew if He was leading it He could show me exactly what to do somehow. So I started going about the house doing this and that and I began thinking about what I know about her and how she must be thinking about things, how she reacts and kind-of getting inside her mind, what she must be feeling, how the Word was getting twisted to her, etc. And then I started trying to identify by remembering how my mind was before I heard the Message and things began to settle on the fact that all the scripture in the world doesn’t do a bit of good if you don’t have respect for it being 100% the Truth- and nothing was going to turn her thinking to that but Brother Branham. If she could just hear one Message I knew from personal experience that God can turn your mind completely around. And then you can grow and God will take care of the rest. But you have to get your picture right first. I kept thinking: "She's got to change her thinking...she's got to change her thinking..." And if God was leading it--this time she would listen and to trust that He works on both ends at the same time and she was in His thinking or He wouldn't have given me those dreams, no matter what it looks like. (These were my thoughts in a nutshell) So I finished my things and went back to the computer and my eyes fell right in the middle of the screen on this paragraph from Absolute 62-1201M:

"Now, the thing you have to do. Here is just a little inside, see. It’s catching her spirit. See? And then you are projecting to her your very thought. See? And you change your thinking. See? Then when it does that, then you can center her on Christ, and from there she can go on. But you’ve got to change her way of thinking, see. She can’t change it herself. She just run in a whirl, and you’ve got to pick that up. Now there is a little something that give you some....Don’t try to study it; don’t do it. Just believe it and go on.”

Praise the Lord. So I knew exactly just what Messages I wanted to send, I didn’t study it, I just did it and she received it with gratitude and said she would read them. There are so many other special things about this but it is already so long. So I am expecting and this is a testimony before it happens that it will happen. When God gets ready to do something, He will do it and the grains of sand really are moving in the midst of all the "silence". He can meet you with this Word about anything. The answer is there, because it is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart and it is Living. God bless you.
