A Perfect Sacrifice

LEVITICUS 22 20 [But] whatsoever hath a

blemish, [that] shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you. 21 And whosoever offereth a

sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD to accomplish [his] vow, or a

freewill offering in beeves or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted;

there shall be no blemish therein.

LEVITICUS 22 22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or

having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them upon

the altar unto the LORD. 23 Either a bullock or a lamb that

hath any thing superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer [for] a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall

not be accepted. 24 Ye shall not offer unto the LORD that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall ye make [any offering thereof] in your land.

HEBREWS 10 14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are

sanctified. 15 [Whereof] the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he

had said before, 16 This [is] the covenant that I will

make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I

write them; 17 And their sins and iniquities

will I remember no more.

HEBREWS 10 18 Now where remission of these [is, there is] no more offering for

sin. 19 Having therefore, brethren,

boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,

20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his

flesh;

HEBREWS.CHAPTER.4_ JEFF.IN HEB SUNDAY_ 57-0901E

The dispensations change with Jesus Christ from the law to grace, from

works unto grace, from something you do to what something God did, upon your own merits or upon His merits; it changed.

HEBREWS.CHAPTER.4_ JEFF.IN HEB SUNDAY_ 57-0901E

163-261 If you profess to be a Christian and have not been that

kind, you're still a sinner, no matter what life you--you've done or how

you try to make yourself. What you do is not accepted. It's what He done. Your own righteousness won't be accepted. If you quit smoking just because you said, "Well, I better quit

smoking because I profess Christianity," God don't accept it. If you quit lusting after women just

because that you're making yourself do it, God don't accept it.

HEBREWS.CHAPTER.4_ JEFF.IN HEB SUNDAY_ 57-0901E

That's something you do; that's works. It's grace that saves you. Has God come to you and taken the

whole thing out of you? That's the next thing.

You say, "I joined church, and so I had to quit these things." God didn't accept that. Nothing you can offer,

He only accepts what Christ give. He gives you Eternal Life and takes it

from you.

FAITH.WITHOUT.WORKS.IS.DEAD_ CLEVELAND.OH TUESDAY_ 50-0822

E-30 "Now, how do we get healed then, Brother Branham?" The first

thing, you cannot be healed... You're just making yourself... If I...?... until in your heart you believe that

you're healed.'Cause now, remember, you can't

play with Satan. He knows whether you believe or not. Don't you try just to make out. You really believe. And now, think, friends, that you would

get down to business with God, He'd come to business with you.

FAITH.WITHOUT.WORKS.IS.DEAD_ CLEVELAND.OH TUESDAY_ 50-0822

Oh, Look, then by faith now you look. He's the High Priest of your

confession. You are healed just by the same merits that you're

saved by. You're saved by the merits of Christ. Is that right? Now, not trust your own merits; there's nothing you can do to be saved, only believe on

Him.

FAITH.WITHOUT.WORKS.IS.DEAD_ CLEVELAND.OH TUESDAY_ 50-0822

I couldn't go to heaven in my righteousness. There'd be people

there...?... in your righteousness. God wouldn't receive it. But He will

receive the righteousness of His Son. And if we believe on Him as the

Scripture says, believe that He is, and will confess Him, He will work

the righteousness in us.

GOD.PERFECTING.HIS.CHURCH_ BINGHAMTON.NY SATURDAY_ 54-1204

E-8 So, we give God praise tonight, to know that the Holy Spirit is in us. Last night, I was teaching of the--the perfection. God Perfecting

His Church, bringing the Church to perfection through the Lord

Jesus Christ. That how we being dead in Christ take on Abraham's seed, are heirs according to the

promise. And we are perfected, not in our own self, not in our own

holiness... My...

GOD.PERFECTING.HIS.CHURCH_ BINGHAMTON.NY SATURDAY_ 54-1204

Someone said to me not long ago, said, "Brother Branham, do you

believe in holiness?"I said, "Yes, sir. Without such, no man

can see God." I said, "But not my holiness, 'cause I have not any. I

believe in His holiness (See?), something that He has done, and

it's that I rest my hopes upon, not on my own merits; I have none. I

rest upon His merits, having this assurance, as He loves me, I love

Him. And the whole thing becomes a love affair.

GOD.PERFECTING.HIS.CHURCH_ BINGHAMTON.NY SATURDAY_ 54-1204

E-9 All--all Christianity is wrapped up in big--one big love affair. Don't

you believe that? See? Without love... Love is the most perfect thing

there is in the Bible. "God is Love. And they that love, are of God," said

John.

EVER.PRESENT.WATER_ JEFF.IN V-14 N-6 SUNDAY_ 61-0723M

152 When you are saved, God gives you faith to rise from the muck of the

earth. Your faith overcomes the things of the world. What is your faith? Your faith is that act that God has did in you to make you a son of God. You quit your lying, you quit your stealing, you

quit your drinking, because your faith rises you up above it. Amen. If you don't do it, you don't have any faith. "And by faith are you saved, and that

through grace."

EVER.PRESENT.WATER_ JEFF.IN V-14 N-6 SUNDAY_ 61-0723M

As much as your faith will be released, that's how much power you can have,

because in you dwells the power to make heavens and earth. God dwells in you, and you are sons and daughters of

God. Amen. There you are. But it's your faith. Jesus said, "According to

your faith, be it unto you. If thou canst believe, all things are possible. Verily, I

say unto you, if you say unto this mountain, 'Be moved,' and don't doubt, but believe that what you have said..."

And only way you can have fellowship, as your love perfects.

That my theme is "love covers it all."

But where there is love, it is perfect.

WATER.FROM.THE.ROCK_ PHOENIX.AZ THURSDAY_ 55-0224

Even after four thousand, yes, nearly six-thousand years, man's still trying

to cover his own sins by his own merits.

He will quit eating meat. And he will keep all kinds of days, and--and, oh, he will--he will tear hisself down. He

will try every thing that he can to save hisself, when it's so simple that even a fool couldn't fail to find it. That's right. The Bible said

so.

MESSAGE.OF.GRACE_ JEFF.IN V-13 N-3 SUNDAY_ 61-0827

105 When I think of Abraham, of all the mistakes that he made, and Moses and his mistakes, but when

Abraham's commentary was written, when the Divine commentary was

written, when Paul wrote Abraham's commentary, he never mentioned

one thing about Abraham's unbelief, no, no, never was even

accounted to him. He said, "Abraham staggered not at the promise of God

through unbelief, but was strong, giving praise to God."

MESSAGE.OF.GRACE_ JEFF.IN V-13 N-3 SUNDAY_ 61-0827

My humble prayer is, before the grace of God that's here this

morning: I hope mine's wrote like that, that He won't see my

mistakes. That when my commentary is written, my obituary, that it won't be read out that I made mistakes and done wrong, but He'll only see the things that I tried to do

for Him. May they just become... What does that?

MESSAGE.OF.GRACE_ JEFF.IN V-13 N-3 SUNDAY_ 61-0827

He'll take the grace of God that I believe in. And that's where I'm solely trusting. For upon my own

merits I could no more go in, none of the rest, but upon the grace of God I'm depending. Yes, it's grace that

I'm depending on.

REMEMBERING.THE.LORD_ JEFF.IN V-13 N-2 SUNDAY_ 62-1209

89 But, oh, I'd like to say something. If I can forget what I was

and remember what He is, if I can remember Jesus, if I can remember Him at the cross, if I can remember

what He done for me, and I can remember the hour that He washed away my sins, and give me the Holy Spirit to guide me, then I'm lifted

above everything that holds this earth. I'm lifted above every earthly thing into heavenly places in Christ Jesus, where I can fellowship with

Him.

REMEMBERING.THE.LORD_ JEFF.IN V-13 N-2 SUNDAY_ 62-1209

There in His Presence, forgetting what I ever was, forgetting all my sins and everything, because they're in the sea of forgetfulness, forgetting

all my past, forgetting everything, and remember that He made me His Own by His Own death... He took my place. And I that had not a right to go nowhere but to hell, He took my place and lifted me from

hell.

REMEMBERING.THE.LORD_ JEFF.IN V-13 N-2 SUNDAY_ 62-1209

He went there for me. And He lifted me up by His grace abundance,

until now we are sons and daughters of God, and we set in heavenly

places in Christ Jesus, ever rejoicing and remembering Him Who brought us safe thus far. And with pulsating

faith in our souls pressing us, and by grace He'll take me on.

REMEMBERING.THE.LORD_ JEFF.IN V-13 N-2 SUNDAY_ 62-1209

91 Remember Jesus. When the barrel gets empty at the house, and there's no more flour, remember Jesus. When the doctor says there's no more chance, remember Jesus. When the Devil is

tempting you; as we sing our dismissing song, "When temptations around us gather, breathe that holy Name in

prayer."Remembering Jesus, remembering that He will come again, the same Jesus that was taken away from us will return again in like manner as we have seen Him go

into heaven. Remember, He will return for those of His Own.
