When our Lord Jesus Christ was on the earth, His ministry unfolded in three distinct phases<\/strong>, each revealing a deeper dimension of God\u2019s plan for salvation and the calling of His elect.<\/p>\n Jesus began His ministry with a demonstration of divine power<\/strong>\u2014healing the sick, casting out demons, and performing miracles.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd Jesus went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction among the people.\u201d<\/em> These miracles were signs to attract attention and show that God was among them<\/strong>, just as bait attracts fish. But just like in fishing, the big fish (true believers)<\/strong> only come close\u2014they don\u2019t commit immediately. This was the first pull<\/strong>: drawing interest through outward manifestations.<\/p>\n In the second phase, Jesus began to reveal the secrets of people\u2019s hearts<\/strong>, showing that He was not just a prophet, but the Word made flesh<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cCome, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?\u201d<\/em> \u201cBut Jesus on his part did not entrust himself to them… for he himself knew what was in man.\u201d<\/em> This deeper revelation caught the attention of the more sincere seekers\u2014those \u201cbig fish\u201d who were not moved by emotion or miracles alone, but by the supernatural discernment of the Word<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The final phase of Jesus\u2019 ministry was the pure preaching of the Word of God<\/strong>\u2014calling His disciples into maturity and preparing them for the coming of the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n \u201cSanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.\u201d<\/em> \u201cHeaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.\u201d<\/em> Today, the Church is in the Third Pull<\/strong>, a prophetic time where the revealed Word<\/strong>\u2014not signs and wonders\u2014is what prepares the Bride for the Rapture<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Brother William Branham, a prophet to this generation, was visited by the Angel of the Lord and shown a vision of catching big fish<\/strong>. The angel taught him that the same pattern Jesus used is what God is using again in this last day:<\/p>\n \u201cMan shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.\u201d<\/em> The Third Pull is not<\/strong> just another revival or movement\u2014it is God\u2019s final move<\/strong> before the Rapture. It is the call to the Bride<\/strong> of Christ to come out of religious systems and be sanctified by the Word.<\/p>\n Signs are not the goal\u2014they are the invitation. Many were healed by Jesus, but few followed Him to the cross. The true elect are not just looking for miracles\u2014they are looking for truth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cAn evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.\u201d<\/em> In this day, the message is the sign<\/strong>.<\/p>\n We are no longer in the days of only signs and wonders\u2014we are in the hour of the revealed Word<\/strong>, the Third Pull<\/strong>. This is the final preparation<\/strong> of the Bride of Christ before the catching away.<\/p>\n \u201cThen we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.\u201d<\/em> We urge every believer: Press beyond the outer court. Go deeper than emotions and experiences. Hear what the Spirit is saying through the Word today.<\/strong><\/p>\n God bless you richly as you walk in the Light of the Third Pull.<\/strong><\/p>\n1.
