With our minds racing from the morning’s service and the deep revelations the prophet brought to our attention, Brother Branham slows down a little for the evening service.
He takes his text from Hebrews 13:10-14.
10 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.
11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
We can only imagine how tired he must have been after the deep message this morning, then interviews all day. But thankfully, he found the strength to preach the evening service and the tape recording will forever be a blessing to God’s people.
Here are a few highlights from Going Beyond The Camp.
And I expect, and do believe, that I'll always live with you. I believe that this is the shortest space that we have, while we stand together like this. We will be together in Eternity.
And, after all, we want the will of the Lord. Sometime the will of the Lord is contrary to our desires. But, still, if we want the will of the Lord, it's just as precious to know that the evil will befall us, if it is the will of the Lord. Whether it be good or evil, it's the will of the Lord that we want done.
And therefore, God's people, and His prophets, and His--His messengers through the age, that carried His Message from the Word, has been considered fools, to the outside.
As I look and preach across the nation, and watch the people, I--I am fully persuaded that the people are not getting to Christ. And I believe that it's the enemy that's throwed this hindrance. Because, the reason I believe this, He is not the object that they have been pointed to. They have either been pointed to a--a--a dogma, or a doctrine, or a party, or experience, or a sensation, or something like that, instead of being pointed to Christ, the Word.
I don't want to hurt anyone's feeling. But, back and forth, across the nation, I have condemned women wearing short hair. That's the Bible. I've condemned women wearing shorts, using makeups. And every year it gets worse. It shows that there is another finger, somewhere, pointing them some other way. And they're not getting through to Christ.
Jesus suffered without the gates, that He might sanctify His people with His Own Blood. Sanctification, comes from a Greek word, compound, which means, "cleaned, and set aside for service." And when God cleans His people with the Blood of Jesus, He cleans them from the filth of the world and sets them aside for service.
When we go beyond our own sound barrier, into the Word of God, then it's unlimited what God can do with a man that's ready to go beyond the camp, the camp of man, that is.
Sometimes God asks us to do foolish things, to our own thinking. And if you ever leave the camp of your own reason, that's the place you'll find God.
Now, brother, sister, do you know that each one of you all must sacrifice? You must be God's sacrifice; sacrifice the things of the world, sacrifice your own pleasures of this world, sacrifice the things of the world?
Jesus of the New Testament was Jehovah of the Old. Exactly right!
