“Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” [I John 3:1-2]

“And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.” [Galatians 4:6-7]

“If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.” [Colossians 3:1-4]

“Now, sin don't mean go out and drink and carry on again. "Go ye and disbelieve no more." Amen. There you are. You know what I find the greatest trouble with the Pentecostal church today is? Positionally they don't know what they are. You're sons and daughters of God. And a lot of times you're looking for something great to come, but you already got that, the greatest can be given you. Now, we are the sons of God, not we will be, we are now. And we're seated together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, right now. Oh, my. When faith like that gets in the Church, the devil moves away from the Church.”[53-0507 Expectations, Jonesboro AR]

“I'm wondering, today. It's what's happening. Are we really getting the people to God? Are we just getting them to church? We must get them to Christ, where this quickening power. It's good to go to church. Sure. If that's as far as we go, it's not far enough. When you come to church, that's good; but go on to Christ, from the church, because we must receive this quickening power, if we ever expect to be in that general resurrection, because it's the only thing that will ever bring us from the dead. "For if this Spirit that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, It'll also quicken, make, bring to life your mortal bodies." What a promise to us!” [65-0410 The Easter Seal, Phoenix AZ]

“When you cross over that separating line, you become fellow citizens of the Kingdom of God. Oh, my. How good is it? Why, you become a new creature (oh, my), changed from this what you are now. You are now the sons of God. Now, are we sitting together in heavenly places, not, we will be in the Millennium. We are now, right now we're the sons of God. Right now we're sitting together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, not just in the church; we're in Christ Jesus. The resurrected Lord Jesus is here. He's here in His power. He's here in His redemption power. He's here for the exodus. He's here to bring every church member into fellowship with Him. He's here to bring every sinner, no matter how low you are, He's here to bring the power of His resurrection into your life and make you a new creature.” [54-0329 Redemption By Power, Louisville KY]

“Now, God the Father, the Holy Spirit, goes out and gives you an invitation to the Wedding Supper. See? Now, it's up to the Bridegroom, then, to furnish the robes. And He did by His own Life, giving out the Holy Ghost. And you come to the door (Amen.) with your invitation. Jesus said, "I am the Door to the sheepfold." And when you come through Jesus' Name, you receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost (Is that right?), receive the Holy Spirit, then you enter in and you become a member, a member of the family of God: A member. You say, "A member?" Sure. "Will I become a servant?" No, you don't. You become a member. You're not servants. You're sons and daughters. We are now sons and daughters of God, a member of God's family. My, oh, my. I might live in a shack, but I'm of Royal Blood. There you are, a member of the household of God. That's Scripture. That's what the Scripture says. "What manner of love the Father has bestowed on us (See?), that we should be called the sons of God." Oh, my. There they are, the membership.” [54-1006 Law Or Grace, Jeffersonville IN]

Jesus Christ is in the building tonight to perform miracles, but he does it through His Church, His people. "They shall lay their hands on the sick, and they shall recover. In My Name they shall cast out evil spirits." Is that right? The commission's given to the Church. That's what's the matter with the Church today. It--it doesn't know its position. If you knowed positionally who you was and what you are tonight, there wouldn't be a feeble person in here in the next five minutes. That's right. The thing of it is, you're looking off into a Millennium for something to happen, when it's already here. "Now we are the Sons of God." Not we will be, we are right now. When? This night. Right now, this minute we're seated together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, now. Oh, if you'd only recognize that. And the supreme authority that Jesus Christ has given to every believer. Anything you have desire of, need of, only thing you have to do is ask and receive it. "Whatsoever things you desire, when you pray, believe you receive it, it'll be given unto you," St. Mark 11:24. And that's true. "Whatsoever things you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive it. And you shall have it."” [54-0303 Witnesses, Phoenix AZ]

“Say, "Brother Branham, why are you hitting on those things at night?" Is the reason of this. If you can ever get the scare out of the church and let them realize who they are and what they are positionally, healing will be the simplest message to be preached, or anything else. But you're scared. You're afraid. You don't realize that you're sons and daughters of God; and now, not we will be. We are now sons and daughters of God, not way off in the future. And we won't sometime in the future set in heavenly places; now we're seated in heavenly places, right now. And now we are the sons and daughters of God. It does not yet appear what we shall be in the end, but we know we'll see Him, for we'll have a body like His. We'll see Him as He is. But now we are the sons and daughters of God, and the covenant is made to Abraham and to his seed after him. Now, notice. Now, God didn't tell Abraham, "If you'll do this, or if you'll do that." He said, "I have." So the whole covenant is grace altogether and no works about it at all.” [56-1208 Abraham, Brooklyn NY]

“What are we going to need miracles in the Millennium, when we're supernatural beings? See? How are we going to need those thing... Now, the Bible said, "Now are we the sons of God." Not... "Now" is--is now a present tense. "Now are we the sons." Not we will be, we are now. We are this morning; we are this very hour. "Now are we the sons of God, seated together, set together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus now." Right this very minute we're--we're seated together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Every man, by one spirit we're all baptized into one Body, become members of this Body by Holy Spirit baptism. And now, we're seated together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, free from judgment. We can never go to the judgment. How can you be judged twice? By... You... God judged Jesus Christ, and He put our judgment upon Christ, and Christ paid our judgment at Calvary. If we're in Christ, we're secured in Christ. By... How do we get into Christ? "By one Spirit we're all baptized into one body." Is that right?” [53-1213M What Think Ye Of Christ, Chicago IL]

“No wonder He said, "Fear not", for now, notice, we are redeemed by Him, and now risen with Him. That's what Easter means to the people, "risen with Him"! Notice. Now we have His Spirit in us, the abstract deed fully paid. No, you don't say, "Well, I hope I make it." You've already made it. Not, "I will make it." I've already made it. I never made it; He made it for me. See? Not me; Him! "Well, Brother Branham, they say..." I don't care what they say. There He made it, for me. That's all I want, I'm caring about. I just--I just want to see Him manifested. How can you do it, call Him down? No. He is in you. See, He is in you. "Well, then, Lord, if I can get myself out of the way, You can manifest. Myself... How can You do it? Because You ordained it so. 'All that the Father has given Me will come.'" Notice. Glory!” [65-0418M It Is The Rising Of The Sun, Jeffersonville IN]
