Faithful Stewards of God’s Mysteries

Good afternoon, fellow ministers in the Mystical Body of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And now, let’s read in First Corinthians, chapter 4, verse 1 to 5, the Scripture that says… Chapter 4, verse 1 and on, of First Corinthians, says:

“Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.

For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.”

May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.

“FAITHFUL STEWARDS OF GOD’S MYSTERIES.”

God has made His messengers of each age and His ministers, all His ministers, stewards of God’s mysteries; the Word in each age comes through the Holy Spirit in each messenger, and from there it spreads to the other ministers, who minister that Word, they take that Word to the people; and thus, the greatest mystery, which is the mystery of God the Father, and of Christ, according to Colossians chapter 2, verses 2 and 3, where it says:

“That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;

In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”

And now, the apostle Paul says in Hebrews, chapter 1, verse 5 and on:

“For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.”

And now, angels are a spirit, in other words, heavenly bodies; and His ministers are a flame of fire.

And now, here we have the fact that these ministering angels are a spirit, and they are a flame of fire. Verse 14 says:

“Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?”

And now God sends forth to minister to those who shall be heirs (those are the members of the Church, that is the Church), He sends ministering spirits to His Church to minister the Word of God for the time in which they are sent¹: they come with the Word of God for that time; and those ministering spirits are those angel-messengers relevant to each age who come in human flesh. Inside those bodies is a ministering spirit, a heavenly body, for each age.

And the ministers of each congregation are also then sent with that ministry; and the different ministries are also already ordained by God; therefore, they are ministering spirits sent by God to minister the Word of God, each one under the ministry that pertains to him. Those ministries come from Heaven, they are from Heaven, to be manifested here on Earth.

The greatest are the ones relevant to each age; and greater than those are the ones relevant to each dispensation; for there are only seven ministering spirits of that type; and therefore, they are seven princes in the heavenly Kingdom, seven spirits of the heavenly Kingdom, who are sent to Earth, each one in the dispensation that pertains to him.

Therefore, the father of a dispensation is the messenger of that dispensation; the father of an age is the messenger of that age; and so on and so forth.

And now, those ministering spirits are faithful stewards of God’s mysteries on Earth, in the Church, and in the midst of the human family.

Just like the faithful and wise steward²: He is a ministering spirit, who is sent to give the Meat in due season in the House of God to all the Family of God, which are the members of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; for the House of God in the New Testament is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ; just like the House of God as a people in the Old Testament is the Hebrew people, which Moses brought out of Egypt by the Spirit of God that was in him.

And now, we are in the New Testament under the New Covenant: covered by the Blood of the New Covenant, which is the Blood of Jesus Christ our Savior. There we have the believers in Christ, inside the Kingdom of God, for they entered through the new birth, they have been born of the Water and of the Spirit (of the preaching of the Gospel of Christ and of the Holy Spirit), and therefore, they have already been restored to Eternal Life; but the physical part doesn’t have immortality yet, the physical part is still mortal, but we have the promise of an adoption.

Just as we received the spiritual adoption and obtained the heavenly body, we will obtain the physical adoption, which will be the redemption of the body, in other words, the transformation, where we will receive a new, eternal, immortal, incorruptible, and glorified body.

Therefore, we have to be fed with the Word of God, so that our faith increases each day, waiting for what God has promised, because He will do just as He has said.³ He cannot do otherwise. Because if He has not said that it will be otherwise, then He cannot do otherwise, He must do according to how it is in His Word.

And now, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the New Testament has been going through different stages or ages, and has already been going into an eternal stage or eternal age, which is the Age of the Cornerstone, which corresponds to the number eight (and the number eight represents eternity). It is the return to the beginning, it is the return to the Garden of Eden, it is the return to Eternal Life. It is the stage where we are prepared to be physically adopted, to be transformed, to receive physical adoption, which is the redemption of the body; that is why it has been said that the Thunders, which is the Voice of Christ in Revelation chapter 10, will give us the Rapturing Faith, the faith for our transformation, the revelation for our transformation.

If the faith, the revelation, for our spiritual transformation and for our spiritual adoption, in order to obtain the new birth, is based on the First Coming of Christ: the faith for the physical transformation is based on the Second Coming of Christ; because the Second Coming of Christ is for our transformation.

And now, the promise made to the Church for the Coming of the Lord is a mystery, of which it has been said that it will be as a thief in the night.⁴

Therefore, the one who will have to see His Coming as a thief in the night is His Church, because He will come for Her, to take Her in the rapture; no one else will understand these mysteries. And if someone else will be able to understand them, that will be the 144,000 Hebrews, 12,000 of each tribe, who, when you see them waking up, and (as we say): “rubbing their eyes,” like we do in the morning sometimes, because we can’t see clearly: rubbing them so that our eyes clear up properly and we can see clearly; well notice, what we are seeing… we are seeing Judaism approach Christianity.

They are seeking something that has to appear in Christianity; and they will say: “This is it!” Or if you want it more clearly: “This is the one we are waiting for!” Because they are waiting for a man to appear in whom the ministry of Elijah will be, and who is proclaiming everlasting peace; those are signs…; and even among some of them, among important rabbis, about how much time more or less (in how much time) they expect the one they are waiting for to appear already.

They are on the lookout and they won’t stop until they find what they are waiting for, for many of them believe —some quietly and others out loud— that what they are waiting for has to be on Earth already: that’s why they are searching for him.

They say that Elijah will introduce the Messiah⁵, therefore, they have to search for Elijah first. That is why they have a chair for him at synagogues, because they expect that on the day of Pesach or Passover, he will appear and sit on that chair; all synagogues are waiting for him. And also in their homes, when they celebrate Passover, they set a chair and a cup of wine as well. Meaning that it is a tradition, because they are waiting for Elijah, and they say that he will sit and drink the cup of wine.

They think that spiritually that happens every Passover, but they’re also waiting for it to happen literally. So, they are on the lookout, and Reverend William Branham tells us that their hopes are about to become a reality.

When will the Gospel return to the Jews? When the Gentile dispensation ends, in other words, when the very last elect has come into the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And how will the Gospel go from the Gentiles to the Jews? He says: “There’s Moses and Elijah.”⁶ The ministry of the Two Olive Trees is the one that is to bring the Gospel from among the Gentiles to the Jews.

As the Jews brought the Gospel to the Gentiles through the ministry of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, the ministry of the Holy Spirit in them, operated by the Spirit, likewise: Moses and Elijah, in other words, the Two Olive Trees, will take It back to the Jews. That aligns with what the Jews are waiting for.

Something major is about to happen in this 21st century in which we are living. For the Jews, there are thirty-something years left to get there, for the sixth millennium to end and to go into the seventh millennium, if we add the two hundred [200] years that the Jewish calendar is missing. Just like the calendar among the Gentiles is missing some years, because it is behind, likewise, the Jewish calendar is missing two hundred years; and they know it.

So, something big is about to happen for the Jews; and something even bigger for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of us who are alive.

The Church will be crowned with the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of us who are alive; and all of that will be under the time of the Third Pull, which Reverend William Branham spoke about, where the power of God will be manifested in all His fullness.⁷

And what we saw manifested partially in Reverend William Branham, which was the greatest manifestation that we have seen in a man on this Earth… we saw more manifestations of God through him than through Saint Paul and through Saint Peter as well; and much more than the other messengers of the different ages. We saw a repetition of what was seen in Jesus. But some didn’t see it, because they were blind. And what can we do? Many didn’t realize it in the days of Jesus either; although they could see with their eyes, they couldn’t see with their heart and with their spirit, they couldn’t understand.

And now, we are getting closer to what has been promised for the end time: we are getting closer to a full manifestation of God’s power through His Spirit in the midst of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which will impact the entire human family, including the Church, including all of Christianity and all the nations, including the Hebrew people. We are getting closer to that moment.

And when Reverend William Branham spoke about the Third Pull, where God’s power will be manifested in all its fullness, he says that he saw that Third Pull manifested in a great Tent or Cathedral.

Therefore, that Tent will appear in some country; and it will have to appear in a country where they believe it with all their heart and start working for it to appear.

And it can’t be in Europe, because the work of Europe in the Mystical Body of Christ was already carried out in past ages; it can’t be in North America either, because that seventh age already ended; and when Reverend William Branham saw the Third Pull unfolding, he says that he heard but he couldn’t understand, because it was in a language that was unknown to him.⁸

All that’s left is Latin America and the Caribbean. And therefore, in some place, some country in Latin America and the Caribbean, that giant Tent or Cathedral will appear, where everything Reverend William Branham saw in vision will be there. And he was in the air seeing everything that was happening there.

And after he saw that the Pillar of Fire moved to that place, later on he also saw everything that was happening: it was a Work of the Holy Spirit, and he saw everything that was happening. And then he asks: “Why there?” he asks the Angel. And the Angel says to him: “It won’t be a public show,”⁹ in other words: “It won’t be something like what you did in your campaigns (or what evangelists did).”

In other words, it will be something very reserved so that there are no impersonations, and also to fulfill: “When you pray, enter into your secret closet, and when you have shut the door, pray to your Father in secret, and He shall reward you openly. Pray to your Father, who sees you, in secret; and He will reward you openly.”¹⁰ And then that will fulfill those words of Christ. See? There is a foundation for it to be done that way; that is where those words will be fulfilled more extensively.

And then the Angel and Reverend William Branham (him being in a spiritual body) went to the little room, where everything was happening, and he saw everything that was happening there; and he says in another…. in one of the messages, that the Angel said to him: “You remember the name you were looking for when you had the dream or Vision of the Tent?”¹¹ In other words, there is a name there, and he was searching for that name.

And in another place, where he speaks about the name (he says), and of the Tent, he says: “It will be the way in which God will declare His Name in a new way;”¹² meaning, if His Name is in a new way, then it’s His New Name.

But all of that is a secret in God’s mind, which is promised to be opened, to be manifested… He also says: “That’s connected to the Seventh Seal.”

And there is an Angel who is the one with the Seventh Seal, the one who was different from the rest, from those who appeared to him in a cloud, and caught him away, and had him with him in that cloud. There were seven, and by taking Reverend William Branham with them, they were then eight: the seven angels of the Church and one who was different from the rest.¹³ And he says that was the one with the Seventh Seal; in other words, the Seventh Seal is connected to that Angel.

Under that Angel, that ministering spirit, everything relevant to that time, to that age, will be manifesting, until everything is crowned with the fulfillment of the Tent Vision and all those wonders that have been promised.

And at that time: the resurrection of the dead and our transformation; and then some days here on Earth, 30 or 40 days, using the new body for the first time already, and we will go with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

All of that will happen and mankind won’t realize it; they won’t understand what will be happening, nor will they realize it, when the elect, the Bride-Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, is caught away with Christ.

So, we are in a very important time in the Divine Program.

As faithful stewards of God’s mysteries: let’s continue taking the Word of God, making known the mystery of salvation through Jesus Christ our Savior; and taking the Word, so that they also receive, not only the faith to obtain salvation and Eternal Life through Jesus Christ, but also obtain the faith to be transformed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

“FAITHFUL STEWARDS OF GOD’S MYSTERIES.”

Let’s be faithful stewards of God’s mysteries, ministers who are present here and those who are connected through the Amazonas satellite or the internet in different countries.

And I appreciate and I am grateful for the support that you have been giving to Puerto Rico for the purchase of the land, the payments, also the purchase of the new auditorium; thank you for your prayers and for everything you have been doing in favor of that work, of that project, that Puerto Rico is carrying out.

And later on, perhaps in other countries, after that one is finished, perhaps in other countries there might also be an opportunity to make a few (if we have time)… If one is enough, then we won’t spend on others, instead we will continue to focus all the effort on the one that is already made, so that all the work is sustained, so that that work is maintained; but if we have time and there are resources, then we will also try to have large places in other countries as well.

If God is not only going to work in one place, but He is going to work in another, then God will also provide in others so that it is carried out. But if one is enough for God, then we will stay with one.

And we will have parabolic antennas to catch the satellite signal. And that way the different congregations will have their screens as big as possible, and spread out, some in the middle of the auditoriums (more than one, of course), so that everyone can see well.

And perhaps from their countries they will be able to see as clearly as those who will be in those activities, because they will also be watching on the screens, just as they will also be watching on the screens in the auditorium that we will have in Puerto Rico.

We have been doing so already. It is common for us to have broadcasts through satellite and internet; so, we have already been practicing, and it is already common for us.

We hope that everybody, well, in all countries, will be ready for those broadcasts. You should have your antennas as soon as possible, while there is time; because in the end… some start running around at the end already.

Like when there is stormy weather, once the winds start already, they go out to get candles, matches and lamps, and panels; and when they arrive: “No, there isn’t anything left anymore.” Why? Because they were negligent, they didn’t get things on time; and then they don’t even have cookies for the children, because they were negligent.

So, they say that forewarned is forearmed; and also in a storm that is forewarned, people do not die.

And also in a feast that is announced, well, no one should arrive late, because the door will close and then no one can enter. As it happened in the parable of the ten virgins: that five of them were not prepared, they had no oil in their lamps, that is, they had not received the Spirit.¹⁴ They thought it was only a matter of saying: “I receive Christ as my Savior,” and that’s it. It was also receiving the Spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit, to have the new birth, and therefore, to have the Wedding Garment.

So, it is required that we have everything on time, because there will come a time when we will no longer be able to obtain things; but if we already have them, it doesn’t matter that later it will be difficult.

Well, we hope for great blessings from God; and for that reason, we must talk about these things, so that they become a reality, so that they materialize for those who hear them and believe them with all their heart, and work for them to become a reality.

We don’t stand around with our arms folded, saying: “Well, let everybody else work, I’m not going to work. I want to see if it’s true. When it happens, I’ll do something.” When it happens, he is not going to do anything; because if he didn’t believe, then he has no right to receive a blessing.

There is always a time to work and a time to receive rewards.

Well, let’s be faithful stewards of God’s mysteries at this end time.

The Tent Vision and what happens there is one of the mysteries of God pertaining to this end time. And since it involves the full manifestation of the power of God, what we saw partially manifested in Reverend William Branham will be manifested in all its fullness; that means that many promises that correspond to the end time will be fulfilled there.

Therefore, let’s be stewards of God’s mysteries; and work on them with all our hearts, so that the ones that have not been fulfilled yet become a reality.

And onward working in all the Work of God, also working in this construction project of this new auditorium in Puerto Rico; working with your prayers and also working in all the ways in which one works in the Work of the Lord.

And ministering to the people these mysteries of the Kingdom of God, these mysteries of God, making known to the people that these mysteries which are promised to be fulfilled and opened to the people at the end time, are already about to be fulfilled in all their fullness.

Why do we work on this project of a large auditorium? Because we believe God’s promise. If I didn’t believe in God’s promise, then the one that we have would be more than enough, for the moment; but since there is a promise of a large auditorium and a large multitude,¹⁵ well, we must have a place for that multitude and for that manifestation of God. Every minister would like for it to be in his country, but it has to be fulfilled in some country.

Reverend William Branham tried for it to be in his country, because he was the messenger of that age, and that age corresponded to that country.

The messenger of an age can only act in favor of his age according to everything that corresponds to his time; and well, he mainly does it in his country: the age opens in his country and from there it spreads to other places.

So, we trust that someone has the ministry of the Last Day; and, of course, they will try to have it in their own country. So, we are going to know when that Tent Vision is fulfilled and those signs and wonders are being seen, and also altar call; when that is being seen, then we will all say: “Look at where it was! Look at how it would be! Look at how simple it is!”

And some will say: “And I didn’t do anything in favor of that; I didn’t believe it.” Why? Because he didn’t believe it. But perhaps the other will say: “But I did believe it! And I worked for that fulfillment, for that Work that was promised.”

Others will say: “Look, I didn’t know where it was going to be.” But others will say: “I did know, I was sure.”

Some will say: “Oh, I didn’t know who the messenger for this end time was.” But others will say: “Well, I did know! And I did stand hand in hand with him.”

So, let’s be stewards, like every messenger for his age and like the messenger of the end time must also be.

“FAITHFUL STEWARDS OF GOD’S MYSTERIES,” taking them to all human beings: taking the Gospel of Christ and all the mysteries contained in It, and all the mysteries relevant to this end time.

May God bless you and keep you, and may God continue to use you all and me as well; and soon may His Church be completed. And soon may that great auditorium also appear, which was described as a great Tent or Cathedral, where God’s Glory was being manifested.

Well, remember that a person always starts walking when he is almost a year old, some earlier, others who are lazier later; and anyone might say: “See? How is he ever going to walk, if he gets up and falls?” He may get up and fall; but if you were able to walk, children will also be able to walk; that’s how it’s always been.

Anyone may think: “Someone is going to walk forward with the fulfillment of a Tent or Cathedral.” Has he begun to take steps, his first steps, from the beginning, and will he take steps properly, at the end? In other words, will he take the step that will fulfill that promise? Remember that an adult can’t say: “I just started walking.” No! He began since he was small, and now he is walking, and now he walks a lot better; but he started walking.

If a person waits to be – waits until they are 15 or 20 years old to walk, by then they won’t walk; their bones will have already developed in such a way that prevents them from walking. During childhood is when they start adjusting as they walk, to gain stability. At first, they don’t have it, they fall; it’s like the part that comes together hasn’t done so properly yet; but once they stabilize: then they have balance and they know how to walk already, and continue walking in life.

So, we have been walking for many years. I would say… Some would say: “It’s already been almost fifteen years or twenty years.” Others would say: “No, it’s been about more than twenty-five.” Others would say: “No, it’s been much longer.” And if we ask those from Ponce, they would already say: “Since about ‘64 or ‘65.” So, we’ve been walking together for a long time, and we will reach the goal.

Here in Cayey we began with a tent, and I trust that our work on Earth, here in Cayey, will end in a Tent; and from there, well, to Heaven.

May God bless and keep you; and we will see each other tomorrow, God willing, in tomorrow’s Sunday morning activity.

May God bless each of you, ministers in different countries; and we will see each other tomorrow, in the activity, in which we expect great blessings from God.

May God bless you and keep you all.

I leave Reverend José Benjamín Pérez with you to continue.

God bless you.
