Testimony from above

The Pillar of Fire upon Bro. L. Lifese • Veracruz, Mexico

This picture was taken during meetings held by brother Leonard LIFESE during his missionary journey in Central America (Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador). We can see clearly and distinctly the pillar of Fire above the head of brother Leonard LIFESE. The pillar of Fire we can see here is exactly the same pillar of Fire we can see on the picture of the prophet of God William Branham.

We can say that the testimony of God is greater than the testimony of men. It is the Lord Himself who confirms His messengers, He Himself bears testimony of his servants :

"The Pharisees therefore said to Him, You bear record of Yourself; Your record is not true.

Jesus answered and said to them, Though I bear record of Myself, yet My record is true : for I know from where I came, and where I go; but you cannot tell from where I come, and where I go. You judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

And yet if I judge, My judgment is true : for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent Me. It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.

I am one that bear witness of Myself, and the Father that sent Me bears witness of Me"

We can bear witness of ourselves, but the most important is the testimony that the Lord Himself bears and confirms the one He has sent and acts in you as he said :"And the Father Himself, which has sent Me, hath borne witness of Me." John 5: 37.

And yet the Lord said: "As thou hast sent Me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world ." John 17: 18.

The Word of God brings even more clarity through these verses: "And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be damned.

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In My name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues:

They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God and they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. " Mark 16: 15-20

The Lord Who sent us a powerful prophet with a powerful message to the bride of Christ, confirms those he has sent to preach the same Word, for to preach the message in its accuracy, we must have the same Spirit which was upon the prophet and be led by the same God who led the prophet, then we are sure that it is the pure Word of God, the end time message.

"And they answered Joshua, saying, All that you command us we will do, and wherever you send us, we will go. According as we hearkened to Moses in all things, so we will hearkened to you: only the LORD your God be with you, as He was with Moses.

Whosoever he be that does rebel against your commandment, and will not hearken to your words in all that you command him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage." Joshua 1: 16-18

In reality that is what every true child of God should require today. A true messenger from God will not bring new doctrines or imaginations; he will preach the same Word preached by the prophets and apostles; and he will stand only on the Holy Scriptures and do only the task entrusted him. The same God Who was with Moses, was with Joshua, the same pillar of Fire that was upon Moses, was

the same pillar of Fire that was upon Joshua, but what is extraordinary is to see the perfection of God.

The pillar of Fire that was upon Moses made him a prophet of God, and the same pillar of Fire that was upon Moses, was the same that was upon Joshua, but did not made Joshua a prophet. Joshua had his calling and he had to perform his task according to his calling, but he should have the same inspiration that Moses had had, to be led by the same God who led Moses in order to remain in the same line as Moses was. He couldn’t lead the people in his own direction; he had to keep him in line, in the continuity, in order to be able to say: "I have preached as Moses preached."

Not that I have only repeated what Moses said, no, I also experienced what Moses had experienced, I received the same revelation that he had received, I was led by the same Spirit which led him, I have baptized as he baptized. I have been not a parrot but I have experienced supernatural things, and recognized that this man was a true man of God and that the foundation he laid was the real foundation on which we must build. Not to lay another foundation but to continue building on this foundation. There was a Paul and there was also a Peter and a John, all living in the same period, all apostles of God. They were all in harmony, preaching the same Word of God being led by the same pillar of Fire. God has brought us back to the biblical foundation; the apostolic ministry must also be manifested among us.

It is not the one who recommend himself but the one who God recommends. God confirms His messengers (apostles).

It is the time of decision.
