2. MATTHEW 6:26Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 28And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

3. MATTHEW 6:29And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

4. MATTHEW 6:32(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

5. Leadership: The church will manifest what you believe. What you preach, that's what the believersmanifest. And if there's a person, or group, in the assembly that doesn't want to manifest your message, you know what they'll do? They'll leave!And you may be preaching the word of the hour perfectly.... Anyone that doesn't want to manifest that perfect wordwill leave? And those that want to manifest the perfect word will stay. It’s your place to preach your day!

6. We are the Seed of Abraham. We are the real Israel. This is the Israel that the Angel of Revelation 10 came into to reign. That's who you are, sitting here tonight, the Israel of God. William Branham said it would be a little remnant, a rejected group on earth, but God would come to them directly, and deal with them. That's us. You're that Covenant Group.~Brother Donald Parnell~

7. We are born for a purpose and nothing can take our place. Even if there is impersonations and persecutions, the Word will not fail. We are not only perceptive on what God is doing in our own selves but we are sensitive on what God is working inothers; It is, indeed, a Body ministry in this Revelation Age. And so, we will fulfill our commission. ~Brother Winston Pesito~

8. We are inspired and directed by the Word in our hands. So happy to be able to catch the vision in this day. Our commission is to transition the believers from the Second Coming to the Third Coming of Jesus Christ. "That's all we need to do, is just get into His program, and then other things will take care for themselves." Hallelujah! ~Brother Winston Pesito~

9. ACTS 6:1And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. 2Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.

10. 3 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. 4But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.

11. ACTS 6:5And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch: 6 Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.

12. ACTS 6:7And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith. 8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.

13. HEBREWS 7:8And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.9And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham. 10For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.

14. MALACHI 3:10Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.

15. EPHESIANS 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; EPHESIANS 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

16. They want to come here to the church for the perfecting. See? We get fellowship one with another here at the church, but the perfecting comes between us and God. The Blood of Christ is what perfects us in the Holy Spirit. ~William Branham~

17. It's true that the Word comes to the Prophet, but when the Second Coming started Jesus has disciples with him which later had the work of "Apostle" to reach the people with the revelation of Jesus Christ. The work of Apostle Paul was sent to inform the people of the new gospel. Was the Apostle a Prophet also? William Branham said that the New Testament prophet is a preacher. What is our New Testament (Third Coming) framework on this? 

18. Under the Second Coming, we said that the Head is Christ and the Body is the believers and the 5-fold were the gifts of God to the Body. Is it still the same in this New Testament (Third Testament)? How does it relate to us in this day when the gospel here is the Male and female united? 

19. Speaking about the ministry, Who is the exact head or leader, or who has the direct order for us, when speaking about the Word of the Lord? Universally speaking where will the direct order come from? If its in the Prophet's ministry, how could it be? That’s under the Second Coming. Are all now under Apostleship ministry?

20. The Pastor is the Head of what assembly, locally? Universal? Am I right If I say there is a pastor who has the gift of an evangelist, teacher, apostle, and prophet? How about the pastoral gift? I do understand Ephesians 4:11 prophets but is it right that a Pastor has those gifts of the Five-Fold?  What is the works of these five fold ministries and are they present in one local assembly?

21. I notice that people don’t recognize the prophets', apostles' ministry locally. They do recognize teachers and evangelists. What is the proper addressing of these ministries that is now in this Third Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ? They address as Pastors but they haven't recognize that "ministers" can be Prophets, Evangelists, Apostles, Teachers, as well as Pastors.

22. I read where William Branham was mentioning about Evangelists are to have ahome church, a Pastor. Are the other four ministries present in the Church assembly? Are the four under the Pastor's ministry?

23. In Paul's time He pulled them out of the previous coming as an "individual" into a new coming which later formed a "body"? How was it right? Is it still the same in our time? Did we see a body form in the New Testament of our day and was it right the way we did it?
