SATAN HATES TO BE EXPOSED, HE IS THE LOVER OF NIGHT 76 The doctors take instruments and try to find what's wrong. They can't do it. We can't tell. But then the Holy Spirit comes out and reveals what he is, and exposes him. See? That's what the Word of God is. It is a Light that shines in darkness.
And when you take a noise in the room, it sounds mysterious; a bunch of something working, and you don't know what it is. Turn on the light, quickly… Crickets, roaches, they're—they are children of the darkness. And when the light flashes, they scatter away.
"They went out from us because they wasn't of us," the Bible said. See? They cannot live in the Light of the world… For, the God of Heaven has sent His Light in this last days, that He might lighten the path for His children, that they might not walk in darkness and stumble, but they might walk in the Light of the shining of Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever. Amen!
65-0801M - The God Of This Evil Age
Rev. William Marrion Branham 120 Now, "Blessed," the Word, the announcement of the blessing, on the 3rd verse, "to them that read or hear its mysteries."
Make… the carnal mind shuns it, because the carnal mind knows not a thing about it. No wonder the carnal mind doesn't know it, because it's Satan in that carnal mind. And Satan is exposed, and Satan does not want himself exposed.
You notice how horrible it is for Satan when he thinks he's going to be exposed? Watch in one of the services. Watch the action of the people. You watch out, on the meeting. Just before Satan is going to be exposed, over a certain person, you'd see their face changing. You see, they don't know what to think. All at once, the Holy Spirit comes down and exposes that devil. Oh! He hates that kind of a meeting. That's the reason we've had such a battle, because the Word of God exposes the devil. See? It tells what he is.
122 Like you say, "This woman setting here," under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, say, "her name is Miss Jones. She come from So-and-so." What does that do? It picks up her spirit, brings it up to a place.
"How do you know me? That man doesn't know me, so it must be some spirit. What kind of a spirit is it?"
"It's the Spirit of God."
"How? What's the matter with me?"
"You have tuberculosis, cancer," whatever it is, "but THUS SAITH THE LORD… "
"Oh!" Oh, how Satan hates that, because It exposes him.
Now, the carnal mind looks on, says, "Mind-reading, mental telepathy." They don't know. It's foolish to them.
But to those who know what It is, oh, what a blessing! What is it? A revelation. A revelation of who? Of the man on the pulpit? Of Jesus Christ in this last church age, revealing Himself like He promised He would do. See?
It's a revelation, see, and Satan hates that. My, how he hates it! He's exposed, exposes his plan. Satan hates the Revelation and Genesis, I got wrote down here. That is exactly true.
Now, why does he hate a revelation? Why is he so against revelation? Is because that the entire canon of God's Word and God's Church is solemnly built upon revelation.
It'll never be through a—a school, no matter how many fine seminaries we have. They are way back in the dimmed age. The Bible and the Church is absolutely a revelation.
60-1204M - The Revelation Of Jesus Christ
Rev. William Marrion Branham Let me just put in a word here from my own ministry, if you don't mind. You all know that this gift in my life is supernatural. It is a gift whereby the Holy Spirit is able to discern diseases, and the thoughts of men's hearts, and other hidden things that only God could know and then reveal to me. I wish you could stand with me and see the faces of people when Satan knows he is going to be exposed.
Now, it isn't the people that I am talking about. It is that Satan has got a hold in their lives through sin, indifference, and disease. But you should see their faces. Satan knows he is going to be exposed, and the most peculiar changes come over the peoples' countenances. Satan is afraid. He knows that the Spirit of God is about to let the people know of his works. That is why he hates these meetings so much. When names are called and diseases revealed, Satan hates it. Now what is this? It is not mind reading, it is not telepathy, nor is it witchcraft. It is a REVELATION by the Holy Ghost. That is the only way I can know it. Of course the carnal mind will call it anything but the Holy Ghost.
An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages (CAB Ch 1 - The Revelation Of Jesus Christ)
Rev. William Marrion Branham WHEN DEMONS CAN GET YOU TO LOVE TO WALK IN THE NIGHT THEN HE POSSESSED YOU, CAUSE IT IS DEMONS POSSESSED CREATURES THAT WALK IN THE NIGHT, THEREFORE THOSE WHO PROWL AT NIGHT AROUND ARE EVIL 9 But this… As they—the evening went on, the young women speaking of what was going to take place. Then the young men gathering at the tavern and after while—after getting drinking and the modern, would be today, the rock-and-roll parties, and sin got on its way.
Somehow it's strange, when it gets dark, demons possessed creatures begin to move. I seen in a magazine here sometime ago, that some movie star said that night was made to live in. Night is made to sleep. And if you'll notice, you people here at the desert, it's your serpents and scorpions and snakes and lizards that crawl at nighttime, spiders and evil. Those who prowl at night around is evil. Night is very evil because it's darkness. And thanks be to God that there is a Light that we can see to walk in. And people who walk in darkness are blind, not knowing where they're going. But the children of the Light know because they're walking in the Light. And Jesus is that Light. "I am the Light, the Truth, the Life, the Way."
