The bath of the Christian

Preached on November 18 at Arrah

May the name of the Lord be blessed ! As the brother said, we came in Arrah to support our brother Ebrotie who lost his father. But we are servants of God, preachers of the Word of God. And wherever doors open, we bring the divine Message. It is a matter of listening to the Word of God each day, because the God that we serve is the God of the present… God always speaks to us in the present and in the future. And each day, He has one Word for us. That’s the way we could be sanctified.

This is the manner in which we prepare ourselves to go meet the Lord. Because we have been engaged into a race. We always like to recall that. For those who believe in the evening time Message, the Lord has visited us in this end time. Because at the beginning of the church, the apostle Paul who was mandated by the Lord to bring the light to the nations said that he has betrothed us to Christ like chaste virgins. (2 Corinthiens 11:2). That was at the beginning of the Church. And at the end of the Church, the engagement must end, to let the effective marriage take place. And to put an end to this engagement, and to concretize the marriage, God sent us a prophet in the end time, he is called William Branham. And he came with one Word – he came with one Message – he came with a Power. The Power of God to drive the children God out of slavery. The Power of God to take us out of the religion – out of the doctrinal confusion.

And this Message says : Leave Babylon. Alleluia ! Pay attention brothers and sisters ! This Message says : Leave Babylon ! Babylon is the confusion in the comprehension of the Word of God. The confusion in sin. The confusion in the religion, in the organization, because men always tend to take the place God in the actual Kingdom of God. Men always seek to take the place God. And it creates confusion. However the Lord must marry with this young girl whom He betrothed since the beginning of the Church. Then, He sent this Message, so that we get ready. And the Message, as I repeat, is an invitation to leave Babylon – an invitation to leave sin – an invitation to leave religion – to leave organization – an invitation to leave the hand of men and be placed in the hands of Jesus. An invitation to leave the traditions of men – to leave the precepts of men, the precepts of the false servants of God – the precepts set up by men full of themselves. Men full of their knowledge – full of their imaginations. Men full of their manner of seeing the Kingdom of God.

God has nothing to do with men’s views. He sticks to His views. He sticks to His Word – to His ways of working. And Jesus left us a heritage. That heritage is His Word. The heritage is His Spirit. And the Spirit comes to reveal the Word of God. One cannot understand the Bible without its author. The author of the Bible is the Holy Spirit. Therefore in the Church, let leave room to the Holy Spirit, let it be completely and entirely left to the Holy Spirit who was given, so that the revelation may be received.

The place is not left to what a man of God said. The place is not left to what a servant of God said. Not at all. The place is not even left to what brother Branham said. The place is not left to what brother Frank said. The place is left to the Word of God. And William Branham told us : My ABSOLUTE is the Word of God. Brother Frank told us : “My ABSOLUTE is the Word of God, I am not in the “prophet said” “prophet said”. It is as valid to say that we are not in the “Frank said” “Frank said”. Let us have the courage to hear that too. Brother Frank says “Me Frank, I am not in the prophets said, prophets said, I am in what the Bible says”. We also, following brother Frank say “We are not in the Frank said – Frank said. We are in what the Bible says”. We are in the revelation of the Word of God. As long as brother Branham brings us revelations that enlighten the Word of God, we say Amen ! As long as brother Frank brings us revelations that explain the Bible and remove confusion, we say Amen !

My beloved brothers and sisters, pay attention to the Holy Spirit. Alleluia. Pay attention to the Holy Spirit. The heritage that God gave us here is the Bible and the Holy Spirit. And for the servants of God, the Bible says that they are lamps. Jesus said of John–the–Baptist. (Jean 5:35). A man of God is a lamp. He releases light. Men of God bring light on the Word of God. But it is important to consider the communion between men of God and the one who sends them. This is what I will speak this evening. Because one must never take a man of God for God Himself. And a man of God is always enlightened as long as he remains in communion with God. As long as he lends himself to the voice of the Holy Spirit. As long as he lends himself to the voice of He who sent him. Then, he remains in the communion of the Word. He remains in the revelation of Jesus–Christ. But it may happen here that we men are not in communion with God. That is why there are problems in the Church.

This evening, I will speak about that. I will speak about the bath of the Christian. At the beginning, I spoke about marriage between us and the Lord. There is engagement which lasts since seven ages between the Church and the Lord… But marriage has to take place. And the Message came so that we get married. The prophet died, but the pillar of fire that brought this light is in the Church. Brother Branham died… There are brothers who remained there, observing his tomb. They lost the heavenly vision. Their Christian walk stopped. Their spiritual life stopped… Brothers, this is what you become when you take the servant of God for God Himself. The Bible says that the God we adore is jealous God. We men, we are jealous. But the jealousy of God exceeds our jealousy. Retain that brothers ! God does not like to be replaced in our life. A servant of God is a servant of God. And the Lord said that when you are under my service… When you finish the service, say that you are useless servants. Why ? Because God can do without you. God can do without all His servants. Amen !

And the brothers of Jeffersonneville wait that their prophet resuscitate. That will not be the prophet of God any more, because the prophet already finished his work. He is resting with the saints. They, they await something else. Not William Branham, the man sent of God. But the work continuous. Brother Frank worked with brother Barilier during forty years. The call to get out was in the booklets. Brother Branham had not created Assemblies. His assembly was Jeffersonneville. But the call to get out came from his Ministry. It is a Message – an anointing, a power which came from his Ministry. But it was in booklets – in the tapes. It went nowhere. But when brother Frank began the work with brother Barilier … It is in this moment that the assemblies were born everywhere. It is the Ministry of brother Frank and of brother Barilier that displayed the Church of Laodiceans. The Church of Laodiceans cannot exist before the prophet. Retain that brothers ! The Church of Laodiceans – let us say that all the Churches in the ages cannot exist before their Messengers. Because the Messenger sends the Message to the Church.

We cannot say that the Church of Laodiceans existed before brother Branham. I.e. before his Ministry, the Church of Laodiceans existed already. Me I do not believe in that. Because the Message of the angel is addressed to the Church of his generation. The consequence is that : this Message to Laodiceans is directly addressed to us brothers. We applied this Message to denominations. We said that it is about denominations. Revelation 3:14 is the evaluation of Jesus to our faith. The evaluation of Jesus to our Christian life. The evaluation of Jesus to my Christian life, your Christian life. That is what is written in Revelation 3:14. You think that you are rich whereas you are poor. You think that you see whereas you are blind. You think that you are clothed whereas you are naked. It is the soul of the believer that is exposed here brothers. Here, it is about the spiritual man ! Jesus speaks about the spiritual man. Jesus speaks about the spiritual man in the Church of Laodiceans.

How are the spiritual men in the Church of Laodiceans ? How are the believers in the Church of Laodiceans. What kind of Christians do we deal with ? We deal with believers who are seduced by demons – believers who have imaginations in their head – imaginations which have nothing to do with the Word of God – imaginations that they do not want to abandon. And the Bible says this – the Spirit says this : You think that you see, but you do not see. You lost the sight. You are plugged by your own covetousness. You are plugged by your seduction. You think that you are rich. Why you think that you are rich ! Because you received the End Time Message ! Oh, you say to yourself, <<Me, I am not like this believer of the denomination>>. We are not like the Protestants… We are not like the Protestants… the spirit of pride. Pride belongs to the gods of Babylon, please !

The hand of God came with Nebuchadnezzar. He took the Jews from Judah and sent them into deportation. And by the Power of God, all the kingdoms were submitted to Nebuchadnezzar. Nebuchadnezzar reigned. And at a certain time, his heart rose up. He thought that he had conquered all the empires with his own power. And Word came out of Daniel. God said this to him : You think that it is by your own forces that you have succeeded in rising up – that you became a great king – but I will lower you. You’ll go seven years to eat with the animals, then you will understand that there is a king who gives royalty. The spirit of pride comes from Babylon ! The haughty spirit comes from Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon. Pride is Satan himself. It is a sin that came from heaven – an elevation beyond God. Haughty thoughts – arrogant thoughts. And this is the spirit of the Church of Laodiceans.

A Church that received much – a Church that received the knowledge of the Word of God. The mysteries were revealed – the sealed books were revealed under our own eyes. And we have Jesus in knowledge. We have Christ in our thoughts – in our imaginations. But the living person of Christ, His life – His Power – His sanctification – His godliness – His life of prayer – His love – His life of forgiveness – His life of communion with the Father – the wonders, the miracles, all these things that He performed in the Church disappeared amongst us, because our hearts became haughty hearts, hearts of debauchery.

My brothers and sisters, here, there are no theories. Observe well the Messages that God addresses to various ages of the Church. It is the evaluation of Jesus Himself on His own Church. It is what Jesus Himself thinks of Christians in our time. It is what is written black on white in Revelation 3:14. Each day we need to meditate this passage, because it is not obsolete…

The pillar of fire walks always in the Church. It has not stopped – It always walks. Often we complain : why is there such confusion among us. No mutual understanding. Not getting along. But read brothers, it is because there is the blindness among us. We are in a time where there is sleepiness. Which biblical evaluation can have him who sleeps – who does not pray – who does not fast. He may fast once or twice in the year. Which spiritual evaluation can have such a Christian ? None ! Brother Branham preached : Why are people tossed up ? Read this preaching. We are spiritually unstable brothers ! Because we do not have communion with God. And this is sad ! I exhort you brothers to repentance, fasting and prayer. I exhort you to enter in communion with God. To understand God, it is necessary to enter in communion with Him. If not, it is not possible. There are no other ways brothers ! We must understand these things. If you want to know the thought of God, enter in communion with Him. There are no other means to get in communion with God but to fast and pray.

As long as you refuse to do that, you will always miss the point brothers ! You will be tossed up. Today somebody says something, you follow it. Tomorrow he says another thing ; you give up the previous point and you embrace this new one. Afterwards, he says another thing again, you cling to it again. You reverse yourself there, you stand here. You push yourself there and you are tossed up and down. A small storm strikes in the Church and you are tossed. Brothers ! People who are tossed will not be raptured ! The rapture is for the conquerors ! For people filled with the Holy Spirit. The rapture is for brothers and sisters filled with the Holy Spirit. For People in whom the Word of God is established. For People in whom the living person of Jesus-Christ is established. The rapture is for them. For People who weigh heavy in the balance of God. Not for men who are as light as this pagan king, No brothers ! [Sons of Nebuchadnezzar].

We were called to the spiritual combat. If we are the elects and we have chosen this way… because we may not choose this way. There are those who did not accept the Message. It does not interest them. But it is said that the Message came to take us into the catching away. Thus for him who adheres into the Message, the objective is the catching away. But brothers, the rapture is for the conquerors. It is for the warriors. It is for the men of war like Joshua. Like Gideon. That is the spirit of the rapture. The spirit of Joshua, the spirit of war… it is for those candidates for the rapture. Their life is war ! The war ! It is a life devoted to war… To spiritual warfare.

But the first thing to do… the first frontline is the prayer. The frontline starts there. To be engaged in the spiritual warfare, requires going to the frontline. Going to the spiritual frontline is required. And the spiritual frontline starts with prayer. The war is held over there. And there are two armies which clash. The army of Jesus and the army of Satan. When you enter there, in the spiritual frontline, you become sensitive to spiritual things. You become sensitive to spiritual warfare. You become sensitive to sanctification. You become sensitive to godliness. You become sensitive to the practice of the Word of God. When you enter the spiritual frontline – through fasting and prayers, you get into true visions, you get into true dreams. Your imaginations disappear. Darkness in your life disappears - your blind eyes open and you can meet the glory of God. You can appreciate the Power of God. You can appreciate the heavenly vision. You can understand what God do. Knowing that the spiritual senses are unclogged through the Power of the Holy Spirit. Today, we have spiritual senses that are clogged, our spiritual ears are blocked. In the age of Laodiceans, the spiritual men – the Christians have their eyes closed. Therefore they do not see. But our spiritual senses must open to see what God do – in order to subscribe to what God is doing.

But brothers ! If we are carnal Christians, i.e. Christians who do not have communion with God – who react upon head blows – who react on the basis of rumor which are terrible demons in the Message – who react on the basis of their imaginations. On the basis of <<I think that, I believe that>>. They do not have any communion with God. And it is like that in the Church. And that does not work for the rapture.

Brother Branham preached <>. Seek this tape and listen very well. Me, I received it from Krefeld… Listen this tape. The title is << God-Called Man>>. The brother spoke about Elijah and Elisha. And in this sermon, the prophet said that the men pray for revival… But how can you have revival without men who commit to God – men who engage with God into fasting, into prayers, men who have experienced Power of God, men who entered in communion with the pillar of fire… How can you have revivals in the Church without such men ! It is not possible brothers ! And we sit down in the Church… we say << Wait God will do !>> But, what God did in the beginning, is what He will do in the end. If in beginning of the Church, God used men who entered in contact with Him through the Power of the Holy Spirit, in the communion through prayer… If God has worked like that in the beginning… He will do the same thing at the end. We cannot await the revival sitting down with crossed arms. Not at all brothers ! Stop doing that. Where is that written in the Bible… that revival is awaited with crossed arms ! <<Not brothers, stop… God will do ! God has His plan…>> Me, I know one thing… The Bible says that we are workmen with the Lord. If God could do without us, He would have done it long time ago. There were a stoppage of three years and half without rain because of the sins of people (1 Kings 17; 18). But when Elijah went up to Mont Carmel with the people… He restored the altar. And the rain had to return. But he could have reasoned in himself saying, but let wait until God brings back the rain… Elijah did not do that. He went to pray. He went to ask God to bring back the rain. And we know what is the rain in the Bible. We await the rain and we do not want to pray for that. (Zacharie 10:1). But this is shameful brothers ! This is shameful ! Elijah went to pray… He prayed… He then sent his servant to look at… And to finish, he told the king to hurry because the rain was coming.

Jesus Himself said that He had come to throw fire on the earth. But before this fire falls down, He told His disciples to go wait in Jerusalem. They entered into the Upper Room where they met to pray….Fire fell down and that was the revival. And that fire spread everywhere in the world. The Upper Room, Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and it went up to the nations. God used men to send this fire everywhere. Paul was an instrument… In 1906… men rose up, particularly two men whom the history speaks about. Their names are written black on white in the history. One is called Bartlemen and another William Seymour. I tell you about the great revival of the 20th century… They had a small community and they prayed much. And they fasted so much that some made fun of them. But they had a burden brothers ! The burden was that the Church was slumbering and sleepy and numb. The works of the Spirit were not there any more. It was their burden. They had become aware of that. But they were men brothers ! They prayed until one day, a sister speaks in tongue somewhere in the community. It was the beginning of the revival…

Today, we speak about the works of the Spirit in the Bible, but we see nothing of all that. There was nothing of all that brothers ! It was the drought ! And they prayed, they fasted, they fasted and one day, a sister spoke in tongue. Thereafter, the Spirit took control of their gatherings – the men did not have place any more. And this revival went everywhere in the world, and it reached us in Ivory Coast. But go back to the beginning and you will see that two – three men spent time to fast and to pray with a community. Then brother Branham raises a question in this preaching [God-Called Man] - it is not brother M’BRA, but brother Branham, the prophet of the age : How do you want a revival without men who commit in this route ?

We know since last year that it is Midnight… But what do you do ? It is Midnight. Read the Bible. What do you do brothers ? “That” is not the Spirit of the rapture. It is not the Spirit of the conquerors. We must change the mentality brothers ! Our mentality must change.

Look at the generation that entered into the country of Canaan. Did they behave as the remainder in the desert ? They got into Canaan in violence. They got into Canaan with violence. Canaan is the promises of God. And in the Bible, there are promises. The baptism of the Spirit is a promise. The gifts of the Spirit are promises. But we cannot enter in possession of our promises without being violent brothers. It is not possible. Lazy Christian, you cannot enter your promises without being violent. Know that it is not possible ! Neither today, nor tomorrow. You cannot enter in the promises of God without being violent, being a combatant Christian, a conquering Christian. It is not possible. Because Jesus Himself, He conquered the world by violence. He came and He attacked the demons in violence. He overcame them. The Bible says that He overcame the demons ; He overcame sin ; He overcame the world. He overcame everything. If He was victorious brothers, it was through spiritual violence, in spiritual combat.

I call you brothers here to spiritual combat. We cannot enter into Canaan without being violent. Because in Canaan, there are giants, the Jebusites and all these giant men… They built strong cities, cities surrounded of large walls. We cannot face them without being violent brothers. Look at the state of the Church, She cannot reach Pentecost without violence, without dedication. The current state of the Church cannot change without spiritual combat, without spiritual violence, without dedication, without fasting, without prayers. We must know it ! We must know these things.

And when we know them, we have to practice them, because the times of revival are the times of actions. They are not times of simple speeches. Times of simple speeches are finished brothers. The revival calls for concrete actions. The revival calls for concrete actions in the life of each Christian and in the life of the Church. Concrete actions otherwise it is not possible. Read the Bible brothers. Let us return to the Word of God brothers ! Joshua could not take the sword and then enter into Canaan through diplomacy ! How did they make it ? Brothers God has promised us the country – let go-there…

Him who began this war came with a sword. How did he show up ? Read the Bible well. He says : I am the chief of the army of the Lord. Because the land of Canaan was a land of war. In the desert brothers, there was a pillar of fire which went in front of them. They did not even see a person, they did not see a sword, and they did not have a weapon there. In the desert, there was no war because the desert was not the Promised Land. Thus over there, there was no confrontation. They fought Amalek and… then that was all. But the war was in the promised territory. The war was in Canaan. It is over there that the promises are and it is over there that the adversary is installed. Thus the combat is over there, the war is over there. The violent confrontations are over there. It is over there that the sinner perished. Like Achan who perished. It is over there that the compromises lead to death. They made compromise with the people… Gibeonites. The only time where Joshua hold-off violence for diplomacy, they were misled by the adversary.

Brothers, what the Bible says is what count for us.

Imaginations, personal thoughts and points of view made about the revival, all that do not interest me. I do not dwell in this scheme, brothers. And the brothers know my position on that. I am not in this scheme where you dwell in imaginations. Me, I had imaginations. For me the revival, as brother Branham said… because he saw part of the revival. For me it was a matter of a few weeks. We say short instant. Thus, everyone interprets the short instant in his way. Perhaps it is a week, a month or three months. Then God sends the Spirit and then the rapture occurs. Because him brother Branham, saw this portion of the revival. He saw in visions, the portion where the pressure was put on the Church for the rapture… But that stage of the revival is for later time. That comes when the Church has reached a certain power. But the revival does not start there. When the pressure comes on the Church, it means that the revival has been taking place for a long time to the point that the Church started to disturb the world by the testimony of the Bride… because of that, the world sends the pressure. Thus, it is this part that will not last. It is this part that does not take time brothers. Because there, we are very close to the rapture. And the Lord would not let us be persecuted, that men put us to death. Therefore, just the pressure and we are raptured. This is the short instant brothers ! But for the moment, we are not there yet.

Wake-up ! We are not over there yet. Before we get to short instant, we need to fight. We firstly need to fight against the demons that disturb us, against the demons in the Church. We need to fight against sin ; We need to fight against spiritual sleepiness and slumber ; We need to fight against confusion. We need to vigorously condemn the things which do not come from God, those things on which there is no anointing of life… We need to put an end to that ! End to the tradition of men and to human precepts. We are no longer in this stage. We do not want any of that. We do not want any hand of men in the things of God. We do not want any man signature in the things of God. We want the signature of the Holy Spirit. [Amen ! Red.] And the signature of the Holy Spirit is exhortation to combat brothers, [Amen ! Red.] The exhortation to the revival brothers, by fasting, by prayers, by repentance of the life of sin. Alleluia ! [Amen ! Red.] This is what is written here in the Bible.

Brother Branham said that we cannot have revival without devoted men. Go listen to that preaching. Instead of waiting with crossed arms… If we must stay with crossed arms brothers… when we come to the church, then let all sit down and wait until a voice comes from somewhere to preach us. Why do you want men on the pulpit here ? Why do we want to see men on the pulpit here, if we must wait that something occurs… Nothing comes without preaching ! For you to wakeup, you need to be preached the preaching of revival. There is a preaching that is attached to revival. You need to hear that to wakeup. Read the Bible brothers. All is in the Bible… Let us return to the Bible brothers ! And let us put aside our imaginations. Because in this Message, we have a disease ! Which are our own thoughts, our imaginations which have nothing to do with the Word of God. And that kills us. That blocks us – and we do not advance. And we have walked from imaginations to imaginations and from seduction to seduction and we reached a stage where we do not see clearly any more. And we are sitting in the Church… May God assist us – May God help us. I think that I will stop !

But I wanted to read passages… I think it does not matter to read them any more… I wanted to speak about sanctification. I will briefly speak about it and then I will stop. The title of the preaching is : the bath of the Christian… it is about sanctification. I use simple terms. The sanctification we deal with is the bath of the Christian. When we said that a Christian gets sanctify, we mean that he bathes. Take it simple. Let go quickly. The Christian washes himself and the Bible says that we are virgins. We are going to the marriage with the Lord our Spouse. Because we have been betrothed since the beginning. Thus, we must be ready to get into this marriage. And to get ready means to wash. In this world, when you go to marriage … if a brother is getting married in this church, look at the bride that day. The sister would bath herself as never before ! She bathes herself… she cleanse herself… she puts the best perfumes, all the clothes are new and she goes to the marriage. And those who accompany her to the feast – them also bath so clean and they dress as never before. Because it is a serious ceremony. It happens once in life…

Then, it is the same thing brothers ! We are going to a marriage with the Lord. Therefore we must bath ourselves. In other words, we must sanctify ourselves. And in these times in this moment that we are brothers, our sanctification must be more rigorous. Alleluia ! Because the bible says that without sanctification, no one shall see the Lord. And the Bible says that we must be sanctified : body - soul and spirit. (2 Thessaloniciens 5:23) And I would like to insist on the sanctification of the soul. Because it is over there that everything happens. And the Bible says that the soul that sins is the one that will perish. Because the soul is the spiritual man. It is our soul which goes in the presence of God. And in the rapture, our soul will put on a new body – a spiritual body. And it is this soul which goes in the presence of God. But before the soul put on the spiritual body, it must be found clean for the marriage – that soul must be cleansed !

Just as the physical body is maintained, the spiritual body needs to be maintained also – and the spiritual body which must be maintained is the soul, because it is in the soul that sins are placed. Sins that men commit are in their soul. And the Bible says that unclean things come from the heart. Adulteries, impudicity, lies, robbery, fornication and all these kind of things… All that comes from the heart and the heart of the man is in his soul. I speak about spiritual heart… I do not speak about the heart which a surgeon can operate in the hospital. That is the heart of the body. The day that this heart stops beating, you died…

Man has a spiritual heart - also that spiritual heart is the one that gets the new birth. The surgeons can operate your heart… If you are sick, you can even get a transplantation to get the heart of someone else. In this moment, you get a new heart – but you are not born again. Amen ! Therefore, I speak about the spiritual heart. The spiritual man has a spiritual heart. And it is this spiritual heart which gets to new birth.

Now, I would like to specify that there are several levels of sanctification. The Bible said in Hebrews 10:10 that we were sanctified once for all. That means that the Lord came to the cross… He shed His blood and He forgave our sins. The forgiveness of sins by the blood of the Lord is the first level of sanctification. And this kind of sanctification leads to justification. (Hebr 13:11-13). Do you understand ? You are pagan, you lived in the sin. When you come to Christ, and you repent of your sins – the Lord forgives you. He removes your sin through His blood. There, you are sanctified. That’s why the Bible says that the Lord went to the cross ; He suffered so that we get sanctified… i.e. so that we get justified. This sanctification is accomplished for all the Christians ! He who comes to Jesus obtains this sanctification. It is the forgiveness of works and past sins.

Now, there is another level of sanctification… When you come to Christ, the new birth takes place in you, i.e., the Word of God has regenerated you ; there too, the Bible says that you were sanctified. This level of sanctification is also accomplished for all the Christians. (1 Peter 1: 22-23). That means that your heart has changed its standing. It passed from the heart of sin to the heart which can reach holiness. That is why the Lord said to the disciples that the Word that you have heard has made you holly, because they were regenerated by this Word. Thus these two levels sanctifications are done for all Christians when they come to faith. It is on this basis that they can have life in Christ.

Now, there is sanctification that the Christian must undertake every day. The problem lays here. To sanctify yourself each day – to sanctify your heart each day, The problem lays here. The combat is here. This is what is difficult for the Christians. I would like to let you know that sanctification is also done in both directions. I just said that the Lord has achieved a work at the cross. You come to faith, you are born again, and the Word has sanctified you. This sanctification… is from God Himself who accomplish it for us… Listen carefully. There we say : the Lord sanctified us. Now, God says that He will be sanctified by those who approach Him. 1And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not. 2And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD. 3Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the LORD spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace. (Lévitique 10:1-3).

The Lord says : I will be sanctified in those who approach me. It looks as though God needed us to sanctify Him. Is it right ! But we know that God does not need our sanctification. But sanctification is done in a reciprocal way. God sanctified us by the blood of Jesus. He sanctified us by the new birth. Now we brothers… we need to sanctify God and His name by our life. That is why He says here that : I will be sanctified in those who approach me. That wants to say that when God comes to us, He must find us clean. That our interior life is clean, it is in this way that we sanctify Him ! If His Spirit is in us and we live in debauchery brothers ! We do not sanctify the Lord and His Spirit is not sanctified in us.

But He must be sanctified in us. This is what is difficult for the Christians. We are going to a marriage, we must sanctify ourselves – we must bath ourselves – each one, just as a woman must cleanse herself. Alleluia ! And what serves as water to bath us ? The Bible says that it is the Word of God. It is the Word which serves as water to wash ourselves ! But can a man bath properly just with water ? I ask the question to all of us brothers ! When you go for a good shower, do you use only water ? Not ! [The brother asks the question to a sister who answers you need to take soap and also a sponge].

In this Message, we bath ourselves only with water. That is the reason that we are not clean. The End Time Message Christians bath only with water. Therefore they are not clean. They go in the shower only with water. And they spread it on the body everywhere and the bath is finished… the first day, you will be a little bit clean… two, three days later, it is dirt… We have the Word – the Word – the Word – the revelations – the revelations – the thunders – the seals - Revelation – Daniel – the beasts – the Word – the Word. We believe in the Ministry of the faithful and careful servant. We have the Word – the Word – and the Christians of the Message bath themselves without soap and without sponge. They are washed only with water and they are not clean. And the proof that we are not clean is the sleep and slumber… The SOAP is what ! It is the PRAYER… the SPONGE is what ! It is the FASTING. When you bath, you bath with water, with soap and also with a sponge to be clean. There are even those who add products into the bath to smell good. Perfumes are also used – these are thanksgivings… When you do all that, you got a good bath, you are clean.

We received the Message, but no fasting, no prayers… Hence no good bath. Look in the Church brothers ! I don’t need to inform you… sin is well established among us ! Debauchery is well established among us. When we get dreams and visions on the Church, it does not look good ! It is not good ! And we do not wash ourselves ! You here ! We the men here ! Who can accept that his wife sleeps in his bed without washing herself ? Who can accept that ? And you sisters here ! Who among you can accept that her husband sleeps in the marital bed without washing himself ! And we are going to marry without bathing as it should… Let bath ourselves brothers ! We are going to the marriage… let bath ourselves brothers ! It is for a serious marriage… Let wash ourselves. Let bath with soap – good soap – let use expensive soaps, the best soap. Let use efficient sponges to clean…

I will tell you a story brothers ! I went to Belgium last year. When I left, my wife advised me to take my sponge, but I thought it was not worth. I thought that there would be some in the hotel. I left without sponge. At the hotel, there was no sponge. There were small soaps for the bath. But that did not wash me well… I had problems… I went into the supermarkets to buy a sponge… I did not find any… Thus the morning when I wakeup, I run the water and I rub myself with soap… But that did not wash me well. Some days afterwards, I felt that my body was not clean – it was dirty. It was a problem. When I exceeded one week, I came to Brussels to a brother’s home… But when his wife saw me, she had pity for me. My body was looking very bad. I had started to have layers of dirt on my body – all that mixed with the cold, but I had no way. I was very dirty. I did not wash… Then I went to bath at the brother’s home. In the shower, I found a sponge… When I rubbed, all my body was black with dirt. Because several days have gone that I did not wash myself seriously. You cannot wash yourself without a sponge ! The SPONGE plays the role of fasting… you cannot get sanctified without fasting. Your soul cannot be clean without fasting brothers !

Brothers, the Word of God is not enough to sanctify us… Spiritual exercises are also required. How can you put the Holy Spirit in action in your life without fasting and prayer ? It is not possible. We must be practicing Christians. In this Message, we are too theoretical. The Bible says that there are demons who leave only by fasting and by prayer. And in fact demons cause us to sin … let cleanse ourselves brothers and sisters ! Because we are going to a marriage. Not only with water, but with soap – good soap – with quite hard sponges to rub ourselves – to rub to remove the impurities and filths. To remove debauchery… May the name of the Lord be blessed !

You have the example of Esther… They were put on a certain place. The eunuch gave only the products – and the virgins had to bath themselves… But there are virgins who do not know how to bath themselves ! They bath but they always do not smell good. And the king, when he spends the night with a virgin, he draws conclusions… And to finish, he retained only one. There are Christians who do not know how to wash themselves. They are children… because in the Church, there are children… they do not know how to bath… We are young girls let bath ourselves… let prepare ourselves because the marriage is coming… And those who will be in the marriage are those who will be clean. May the name of the Lord be blessed and may glory be to Him.
