Christ Is The Mystery Of God Revealed #17

Let us pray.

Heavenly Father, again we count it a great privilege being assembled together in this place in Your Name. We’re grateful, Lord, that You’ve shown Yourself not only in signs and wonders but as the prophet said You’ve allowed Your photograph, Your picture to be taken.

Lord, we are not unaware of these things but we are not aware of them as we ought to be and today we are impressed by them, we’re not impressed as we ought to be.

So help us this morning Lord, to be more sober, sincere, more impressed with Thee in Thy Presence as never before. Lord, help us to be calm, collected within our spirits, bring all our thoughts into obedience in control of Thy Holy Spirit.

Teach us Your Word this morning in order to edify us, to build us up and get us ready, a people prepared, ready for that great day in Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.

You may be seated.

Now, of course, we’re still in Christ is the Mystery of God Revealed, and I believe we’re about on number 18, [17] this morning and I’m going to be very honest with you, I really wish I had made about thirty pages of closely written notes and just read them because we’re going to get into some very difficult material at this particular time.

However, last Wednesday in that part of the message which we read we saw Brother Branham point out that as Jehovah of the Old Testament was Jesus was of the New Testament, making it evident that from Genesis to Revelation there is but one God, so that Jesus was far from being another god, but rather a magnification by revelation of that one God.

Even so there is but one Word of God and what we find is that as Jesus brought a magnification of the revelation of God so the New Testament brings us no new word but a magnified revelation and extended and more comprehensive revelation of that same Word.

So what we’re saying here is we’re well aware that there is one God and there is one body of truth and that one God is revealed from Genesis to Revelation and that Word is one Word from Genesis to Revelation but as there was merely a one substantial thought that God was in the beginning.

In other words, there was nothing outside of God that appears today and it is the same God no matter how many ways He manifests Himself or wish to show Himself.

There is also only one Word, and that Word, of course, even as God continuously brought Himself into revelation and one day clearly as never before in the New Jerusalem, so this Word has progressively been revealed in Its body of truth so that we’re more and more familiar with it.

Now so there is only one God with one Word and I think Ecclesiastics 3, 14 and 15 linked with the thought in Revelation, “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end,” as also in Isaiah, “I am God and there is none beside me.” He says here,

Showing you that there is a definitive body of truth that has been unveiling itself to us by the same God or the same life of God unveiling Himself; so God and His Word are one and you can see this here very clearly.

And this is exactly what we read in Ephesians 4, just a couple verses… it says,

So you see the Oneness then of the… of God and His works and His Word but all magnified, all get constantly before us in a constant flow of revelation.

Now, thus we read how God magnified His Word on keeping the Sabbath which was one day of rest per week. He magnified it to a life of continued rest by the baptism with the Holy Ghost where there isn’t just one day set aside for God but every day is sanctified of God by a sanctified people.

Denominations will not accept a magnified Word. What they want is a changed word, that’s what they want. That’s exactly why denominations form their little tenets and creeds and their little black books and then they say, “This is it,” and they close the book and they turn down new light, and when they turn down new light, of course, their light becomes darkness.

So thus we read on page 60 and… it says,

[60-3]  Now, you can see… the end time Message…

Now the end time Message, of course, is a magnified Word and it is a further revealed God through Christ who is the Holy Spirit, the anointing, no matter what form that One takes and how He chooses to do it which normally He has done it through the prophets and then He literally switched course when He revealed Himself in human flesh.

Then He had to drop back to the prophets once more which most people simply do not consider that to be true which I don’t understand because if the Apostle Paul was not a prophet tell me what in the world was he? I mean you destroy the whole precept.

I mean, you don’t deal with… ignorance and folly. You simply walk around it. You’ve got to be like Wesley.

One day he was walking down the street and a bully confronted him and he said, “I don’t step aside for fools.”

And Wesley said, “I most certainly do.” And he walked right around. So that’s denominations and truth on a head on collision on the road. All right.

[60-3]  Now, you can see… the end time Message—why It’s rejected. Can you? Now, no denomination, but… revelation of His mysteries. See? No denomination, but the revelation. God’s not known by denomination. He’s known by revelation.

So therefore, categorically no denomination is a part or has a part in the mystery of God, the revelation, no denomination. You can wipe your minds clean of it.

You say, “Well, I think my wife belongs to this church and my father’s is so-and-so, and my brothers and sisters and they’re wonderful people.”

Nobody says that they’re not wonderful people, but if you’re going to take sides with that against God’s own way I can tell you where you are today; you’re lost. You’re denominational. You’re just the same. You’re completely out.

You say… You can say what you want but we believe a prophet and how God does things; we got to believe that.

Now, of course, He’s known by revelation. And who gives the revelation? Well, only God knows God, so therefore, only God can tell about God.

I’ve often said it’s very, very simple, the Bible says, “No man knows the same things of man save the spirit of man that’s in him, there-fore, no man knows the things of God save the Spirit of God.”

And you know horses know horses and dogs know dogs and cows know cows and people know people, but people really don’t know cows. They really don’t.

You think you know a lot about them by study but you don’t have the instincts of a cow. If you did you’d smell better, see better, feel better and everything else. You don’t have a spirit of a cow on you; you got a spirit of a man.

That’s why men can pick up women and women pick up men and men pick up men, and women pick up women; there’s a spirit on them. Of course, that spirit goes a little bit beyond human spirit; it goes into a repulsive spirit. All right.

Who gives God… who gives God’s revelation but God Himself? Then to whom and how does the revelation come? It comes to the Bride of Christ through a prophet who is dealing with Almighty God Himself, not face to face except on three different occasions, Moses and Paul and William Branham.

The rest are by visions; the Bible says so. Numbers 12 says: “If that man’s a prophet I’ll give him a dream and a vision and speak to him therein but my servant Moses is not so, with him I speak face to face and even in a form which is visible.” Right? Moses, Paul, William Branham. You got a trinity there of it.

Now how can we be sure that this is God’s revelation? By the way God said His revelation would come forth. A prophet would come on the scene with THUS SAITH THE LORD and that takes in all those prophets that deal with the Word.

It would be Moses and Isaiah and different ones, even a man like Samuel who did not bring a Word but could interpret the Word, he by discernment could let people know positively that he was of God.

There is a way that God can be known that it is God who is doing the speaking no matter what form He is using or what He is doing but people don’t want it.

See, denominations have got it closed. They’ve closed it off to say, “You must come by us, and this is what it is.”

And that’s not true. Now anybody knows right today that the whole church system stands in folly because everybody turned down the Pentecostal tongues talkers. Now everybody’s got the Pentecostal tongue talkers.

So now they got to admit they were wrong. The hierarchy’s don’t want to admit they’re wrong but they sort of skirt it because they don’t want to lose the membership because every member at two bits a piece or two hundred dollars a piece is a lot of moola and you don’t want to see that go down the drain. So that’s exactly what you’re looking at. That’s why you’re looking at a bad situation today.

[60-4]  [Now] look, God in His Body—Christ, [all right, which is the Messiah, okay] and Christ [now Holy Spirit] in His Body which is the Bride. [Now he’s telling you something here about this manifestation of God, the revelation coming on down. Okay.] …God… Look, God in His Body [which he says is Christ, which is Messiah, virgin born.]

And Christ now which, remember, is the anointing, the anointing took on a form of flesh, and remember, He dropped that form. We’ll talk about that as time goes on.

And Christ now in His Body which is no longer a physical one member because He’s returned from that to the Pillar of Fire. Do you understand what we’re saying? A lot of people don’t even got this… don’t understand this.

They think I’m preaching two gods or something. How ridiculous can you be? I can show you where Brother Branham absolutely said that the Logos had a conversation with God.

I’ll read it sometime and we’ll go into the depth of that if God ever gives it to me, if He doesn’t I’m stuck. I can’t tell you what I don’t know.

If the flame of fire does not reveal it I can’t tell you what the Pillar of Fire would say, there’s no way. I’ve got no way of knowing. I have to wait on the Lord. All right.

[60-4]  Look, God in His Body [which at that time was the Lord Jesus Christ born of the virgin Mary and now the Christ as we know, not after the flesh but after the spirit, He is indwelling individuals by a portion of His life in those many individuals in a Bride body.]

Oh my! God… manifested in Christ; That’s God living and showing Himself perfectly as to who He is in a human being which is Jesus Christ born of a virgin. Now Christ manifest in a Bride, Christ living and being in a many membered Bride, but just watch that carefully, because there’s a dominate figure within the Bride all the time, seven Church Ages, seven messengers.

[60-4]  And as God took from the body of Adam the woman and she fell, then God has taken [or also then God has taken or in like manner] from the Body of Christ His flesh, His Body, which is His Word, and is bringing a Bride out that won’t fall by denominational creed.

Now Christ is not reproducing people sexually and physically; as Christ was that Word manifested in a human form the Word now must take also human forms of a multi membered body. And so what’s He doing?

As God took and fashioned the Word and the way He wanted it in one human being He’s taking that same Word and fashioning now in many people in a many bodied member which is the Bride so that it says over here; there’s one body but there’s many members, and talking of gifts it says, one hath a tongue, one hath an interpretation, one’s got a prophecy, one’s got this, and one’s got that.

So let’s look back and see some other things that are… there’s one body and many members and they’re all doing different things. And it says here in,

Now you’ve got gifts there and services and you have five-fold ministries all mixed into one showing that the dominate life of the entire Bride is the life of Christ in many offices.

In many ministries from the headship of the prophet right down through the five-fold and the other complementary ministries that complement that five-fold ministry and also, the lives which complement what everyone of us has and everyone’s got to produce a life. There’s got to be fruit, virtue and so on there.

So you see you have many, many things going on in this body where God is manifesting Himself even as He manifested in Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ, he was one faceted all showing forth; this is many faceted concerning membership and the same life coming forth. Okay.

[60-4]  …and is bringing a Bride out that won’t fall by denominational creed.

And you can tell that this is the Bride of Christ because she’s going to identify with the Word. She is a Word Bride because she was thoroughly spoken forth in the Word of God and she’s brought forth by that same Word.

[60-4]  No, sir. But She’s coming back to the pure unadulterated Word of God being manifested.

Okay, the Word of God being manifested. Okay, what is it? Is it the Word of God being manifested? Or is the Word and God being manifested? She’s brought back to the pure unadulterated Word of God, God being manifested.

One: proving that this is the Word of God that’s manifested. Do you follow what I’m saying? There has got to be something here that’s irrevocable and positive that you’re putting your faith upon, that the Bride is not upon creeds and dogmas because there’s something there that is beyond the creed and dogma.

The words of a man will not produce anything but a creed and a dogma but the Word of God will produce a manifestation that it is the life of God.

Now Bride of herself does not do that. That’s a higher order. That’s where you get the prophet comes in there. See?

Now remember, you say, “Well, just a minute there weren’t prophets all down through the ages.” That is true. But there was a little trickle of life that God knew there would be no prophet and He said, “Spare the oil and the wine and don’t you break it off.”

He Himself said, “The bruised reed I will not break, the smoking flax I will not quench until Shiloh comes, until the One of peace comes.” Now we could go into that into two facets.

Remember, every Scripture has at least a compound meaning. My God, I don’t know why people throw away these truths. You tell them something and they go bluey. Right now, “You’re of the devil.”

Brother Branham made the statement and I told you many a times, he said, “Lee, you and I are just alike.”

I said, “What do you mean Brother Branham?”

He said, “I got a little gift of healing nobody wants it, you got a little gift of teaching and nobody wants it.”

I see more and more exactly what he meant. They did not want his gift of healing because it didn’t come the way they wanted it. They wanted to hear him say, “In the Name of Jesus Christ, out, in the Name of Jesus Christ, out,” every single time.

They wanted him to operate it. That was to the world. He took the gift of healing to the world. When it came back the world was shut out and he brought it to a Bride, it was under discernment and under the care of Almighty God, under a proper ministry within the church and he was rebuked as a sideshow minstrel because he had not done it.

I can see exactly why they turned down the gift, the same as they turned down mine. They don’t want… me to point to Christ all the time. They don’t want to believe the truth of His Presence. They don’t understand the Appearing and they don’t want it.

Well, I’m not alarmed about it. I just say, Praise God for fulfilled Word. But it will kill you; but just the same, it’s good to get killed. It’s good to understand a little bit of death. It’s not nice for the time being.

[60-4]  But She’s coming back… the… unadulterated Word of God being manifested.

God being manifested Himself and proving manifestation according to this Word and that is what the Bride is eating on and living on.

And you turn down this for your mess of potage and you run around with your feelings hurt and your run around with your ideas.

I’m going to tell you something, brother/sister, if you can’t stand up for this Word and live with this Word I’m going to tell you right now you are not going to make it.

Now if you’re Bride you’re going to make it because you’re going to stand with it. We’ll get to that in just a minute.

[60-4]  Now I hope every man that hears this tape and every women will understand that. See? She’s the second Eve, but She’s not breaking and spoiling Her skirts of purity and holiness to Her Husband. She’ll stay with this Word regardless [whatever the squeeze might be, he’s going to talk about that, and] what anybody says.

Now right now we’re in a great form of debate because we got a Word and nobody can… prove the Word that’s already proven. That’s where the false prophets come in. They try to prove this Word that’s been proven as they got another proof.

There’s where your Frisbee’s and your Grants and all these men come in and I’m not afraid to mention names, Leroy Jenkins, because they stuck their neck out and they’re in the public. It’s in the paper that they have now superseded Brother Branham and they are the ones.

And you’d be surprised what people rise up with nothing at all except big mouths and people fall for them. I know what I’m talking about because I get the letters and all those things shoved at me which doesn’t mean I read them all, I just take one little quick peek, that’s it, you know.

[60-4]  Now you can have all the ecumenical moves you want to and all the affiliations. [See?]

[60-5]  Now and they’re going to bring a persecution on pretty soon and shut up all the churches. [You’ll] see that. [Okay.]

Let’s just swing over here on page 79 because we simply got to take our time on these things, reading.

[79-1]  Notice, in this last days, Lucifer is doing the same thing. Can you see it? [talking about denominations.] The devil is doing the same thing, building up a hybrid… church—a hybrid, by hybrid members, hybrid by knowledge instead of the Word, by intellectual man instead of borned again man, building an intellectual kingdom that will outshine Christ’s little itty bitty flock.

…What is it that did that?—fallen angels. The Bible said it was fallen angels who listened to Lucifer instead of Christ, who they once belonged to. [Now remember, they were Christ’s angels but they fell listening to Lucifer.] Is that right?

[79-2]  Now listen close. Fallen angels. What kind of angels?—Luther, Wesley, Catholic, Pentecostals who kept not their first estate like the angels did and has fallen into organizations like Lucifer’s main hold at Nicaea.

And what have they done?—organized a great ecumenical association of ministers to make an image unto the beast [as the Bible said] and building a Christian economy that’ll close the doors of this church and others like it. See Lucifer at his work?

And you know as well as I do the United States government contrary to the law, and our congressman, they have defiled the Constitution; there’s no Constitution left.

The government has turned over the billions of dollars which they take in taxes and raise here and give it… and now given it and said “The Catholic Church working with some nice little Protestants, of course, will now take care of the welfare, the benefits going around the world.”

Now UNICEF was doing all this junk and we know it was Communist inspired. Now it’s funny how United States pulled out of it finally but they haven’t pulled out of this other stuff and they’re not going to because they’re stuck.

The minute we elected a Roman Catholic president we showed the world that we are pagan with the rest. How can we dare to send missionaries anywhere?

Like Brother Branham said, and people sitting in the church and I’ve known them, voted Democrat, and said they believed this message.

If they’d of believed this message they would have sat on their hands. Just better just let the world take the world. Just get out of politics. There’s no place in politics. You can’t mix this with… and you’ll never mix this message with politics or denomination; won’t work.

[79-2]  See Lucifer at his work? I’m trying to bring you the threefold revelation, a mystery of God. What did they do?—sold out to reasonings of wisdom and education like Eve did, fallen angels did.

Okay.

[60-5]  The… churches like this who are not in denominations, they’ll use them for storehouses then. And if any man goes and [offers] a prayer for anybody else that [doesn’t] belong to the ecumenical movement, will be shot on the spot. It’s already in the works. Now that Lutheran minister, the head of it, said so.

And you may wonder is that correct; that’s absolutely correct. That was said way back, way back before Kenny Goff died and Kenny was the outstanding you might say middleman between Communism and what’s… what was going on because he had connections behind the Iron Curtain, all over the world and he knew things that… well, let’s face it.

Matthews went down from the New York… not the Journal but the other one, and he went down into Cuba and he came back and told the people in America, and sold the CIA, and sold Congress that Mr. Castro was just a real nice fellow and he was not just liberal… he was just a liberal person but he was not Communist and everything would be fine if you let him go ahead and take over and kick Batista out which they did.

And Kenny Goff said, “The man is nothing but an illegitimate son of eleven different children by the man Castro, they’re all communists.”

He named every single one and told the liaison. And why did he know and the CIA didn’t know and America didn’t know?

Come on, you got a bunch of crooks and liars in there as phony as three dollar bills led by the servants of hell. What was Bellis doing in there? Big Roman Catholic, the whole bunch of them.

Just look around, you just don’t let it bother you; that’s all you can know what is going on but the whole thing stinks. The whole thing is a mess. See?

At that time, at that particular time Kenny Goff was well in touch with the articles of the ecumenical move that said, “All right if you give aid and comfort in a time of exigency of any kind and you’re not ordained to do so by that council of churches as a minister they’ll shoot you.”

Hallelujah for Jesus, isn’t that nice? Right back to doing God a service by killing. Do you think that’s not going on? It’s been going on as Brother Branham said, “It’s just been under the cover just waiting for the cover to be taken off.”

You can let your lives go by and sleep if all you want all you want just don’t be concerning these things but I’m telling you they’re right there. That’s why Brother Branham said, “A hundred years from now, twenty five, ten, maybe yet tomorrow morning.”

You know why? Because this thing is not solemn in people’s hearts. One day I got to preach on some of these things. This is one reason why I would to God I had more pastoral substance in me because I see all the needs but I’ve got ministry around… people don’t even…

Look it, they don’t even know why the prophet was here and what’s going on. By the time they should be men living lives, they’re so mixed up it’s pitiful. They don’t know where responsibility goes, what’s real, what’s dedicated and what’s pure sentimental hogwash. See?

[60-5]  You can read it right here in your magazine. [That’s true, you could read it. That’s right.]

[61-1]  It doesn’t make any difference what they say, that Church will stand true in this Light. [What light? What is the light? What Christ is and what He is doing this hour and what He is shedding forth by revelation of His Word.] She’s already proved it back yonder, [that’s the time when Christ was the light and the church is the cornerstone.]

That’s when He came as the mighty Baptizer with the Holy Ghost to give… to get a Bride a people so He could send a messenger to them.

So He came down the mighty Pillar of Fire and began moving over the people and gave of Himself a little tiny infinitesimal bit like the sperm of a male, baptized him into a body, then that same Pillar of Fire did not come to Peter, did not come to John, did not come to Matthew, did not come to any twelve apostles, of the original twelve, of the eleven standing; He came to the Apostle Paul.

There He brought the Word as the cornerstone. Now the same Pillar of Fire is here as capstone bringing that same Word revealing It. They had a virgin church then; they’ve got a virgin church now but as that church fell, went into the ground, example; the Lord Jesus Christ, this church today will not do it.

[61-1]  She’s already proved it back yonder, and She’ll do it again in the face of everything.

Remember that for… our first early church that Paul had under his control, the Ephesian age that John later pastored.

Why he said, “There’s a bunch of people came by and… you told them what they were, false apostles. Oh,… that sure went over like a lead balloon.”

How did they know they were false apostles? They weren’t saying what Paul said. See? Not Peter, not James, not John; that’s fine, but not saying what Paul said. Paul said, “My gospel.”

We’ll read that later on in Romans 16 if we ever get there. Now,

[61-1]  She’s already proved it back yonder, and She’ll do it again in the face of everything. It’s the Word of God. [She’ll do it in the face of people rising up against her, of the false prophets of unjust criticism and every… and pressure. See?] And all ecumenical movements and everything else will be gone. She’s going to be there without spot or wrinkle. Right. She’ll stand there.

In other words, she’ll stand there alive and waiting for the Resurrection and be a part of it. See?

Now we go to 1 John, a little bit because we’re very much in love with this portion of Scripture and we look at the verses 5 to 7.

Now everybody as I say, fuss, fuss, fuss. I got a letter the other day, a lovely woman, “Is the blood off the mercy seat? Has the blood gone to the Word? Where is the blood? Where is the blood?”

It tells you here no matter where that blood is if you have this light it avails, so quit your horsing around and your conjectures which are foolish, keeping you back from further revealed truth and depths of things in Almighty God.

Remember this, my brother/sister, let me get to it this morning, and I’m not pleading for myself, I’m pleading for this Word here, let us understand why we preach the way we preach.

Over here in of Ephesians, rather, the 1st chapter, for the end time:

This is a personal knowledge that you are receiving at the end time, there is one God, His Name is the Lord Jesus Christ. The Name of the Father and the Son is the same Name. “I came in my Father’s Name.” So let’s not be abusing our imagination or our thinking.

Now,

You are not getting the preeminence anymore. You are not having any say anymore. You are not in the revelation anymore. God is all of it receiving the preeminence because we’re back to headship as Brother Branham said, “Headship has come.” What’s to stop it from coming?

Everything that was poured into Him from God was poured into the Bride that the Bride is supposed to have, now it’s over because this is the end time revelation, that which in part is finished, we’ve got the whole of it.

And the days of the voice of the seventh church age messenger when he’ll begin to sound the mystery of God as He has declared the good news unto His prophets shall be finished which means it’s going to run out which means it’s perfected.

What is it? It’s that Mighty One that came down opened the Seals. What were the Seals? Christ revealed. See? People should understand a few things by now.

All right, so therefore, God backs His Word, and of course, at this time the Word is the Bride, she’s the manifestation.

[61-2]  Notice, God manifested Himself in His Body—Christ. [That’s the Messiah. That was in flesh two thousand years ago.] Now, you see the threefold beautiful thing? Christ in His Body—the Church, [That’s now. It’s been for two thousand years but watch what today.] vindicating His promised Word like God did through Christ.

He never did it until this hour. Now He vindicated Paul but he didn’t do it; Paul never had the return ministry of Christ. Everybody says Brother Branham’s got to come back in a return ministry. That’s fine.

Say what you want to say but Daddy Bosworth pulled my coattail in 1953 and he said, “See, Brother Vayle, I’ve prayed for the ministry of Christ to return to this earth for forty years and there it is in that man.” We’ve already had the return ministry of Christ.

If Brother Branham’s going to have a return ministry I don’t understand it or know about it. I know he’s going to come back and if he parallels the ministry of Christ then it will be exactly as Christ did reveal the things of the kingdom of God. But why stick your neck out?

We learn after the fact. We knew the Shout after the fact. We’ll know the Resurrection after the fact. We’ll know our change after the fact. We’ll know the catching up after the fact.

We’ll know the Wedding Supper after the fact because God interprets His Word by manifesting It. Then it takes someone to explain it, so you learn after the fact.

Then don’t stick your nose into something you don’t know about. Wait till you get the fact. That’s as simple as a-b-c, the prophet taught it.

I got to get up here all steamed up yelling and screaming, waving, thinking I’m getting emphatic. Fap, it’s no more going in your head or your heart than pig’s tails are unless you’re elect anyways.

So what am I wasting my breath for? Especially my energy; I’ve been pretty low. I could use something else, like eating ice cream and pie which I’m… finally relax you a little bit.

The message is to the elect. If you’re going to fuss and fool with a lot of things instead of getting down to business with Almighty God, because your husband, your wife, or your kids or this or that pull you away, you ain’t got too much.

I remember my wife’s daddy, he backslid on account of the kids. Well, I tell you what I’m going to be honest with you; I’ll see my kids in hell by the grace of God before I backslide.

I’m not saying that boasting; I’m saying, my God have pity on me that anybody should ever get in my way, my wife, my mother, my father, my children, you or anybody else.

I learned my lesson years ago on that, people got in my way. Don’t fuss, brother/sister, don’t you be so foolish. It’s all over and you don’t even know it.

Suddenly, it’s just like suddenly a woman in travail; all the time you’re hearing that women don’t even know they’re pregnant because they’re so big and fat and suddenly they got a baby.

Doctors didn’t even notice; that’s the sign of the times. They’re so anesthetized by the things of this world they can’t even tell they’re pregnant or anything else. It’s a sign going on. It’s not so terrible but there’s enough of them. All right.

[61-2]  …God manifested Himself in His Body—Christ. Now, you see the… beautiful thing? Christ in His Body—the Church, vindicating His promised Word like God did through Christ. “Who can condemn Me of sin? [Now he’s drawing an example here what happened in the days of Jesus Christ looking forward to this hour.]

“Who can condemn Me of sin? If I do not the works of the Father, then where… have I failed? Now you fellows say that you are doing it, [Sadducees, Pharisees, Essenes and scribes and so on] you denominations—now… show Me.

Show Me where I’ve failed to be the Messiah. Show where I’ve failed in one Sign that God said the Messiah would do, that I haven’t fulfilled that He said.”

Jesus said, “Search the Scriptures and in them which you think you see eternal life you will find me, and Moses spoke of me.” Now he said, “I am in there and I’ve done it all.” You see?

Now who could refute that great prophet because He was His own prophet? Then who can refute that prophet today if he comes on the scene because the man is nothing; it is God in the man. Remember, that’s exactly what the Bible says.

Now let’s read it. So let’s just take a look at the Scripture and we want to read it over here in Hebrews 1 and it says,

Now I hope you get me in my emphasis. I emphasize the prophets and they’re not worth a nickel alongside of God. It’s God! In the prophets. God! In Christ.

You got a bunch today that want to throw the prophet so hard and so wide they admit Christ out of the picture entirely.

That’s where you get your deity cult from. That’s where you get people continually looking back all the time.

They don’t believe Brother Branham said, “The Lord Himself shall descend from heaven, Jesus does all three in descending, and the Shout is a message.”

I want to ask you a question. Did Brother Branham or did he not say “I was not the One that appeared down on the river, I was only one standing there when He appeared?”

I want to ask you. Who came down? I want to ask you. Who makes the prophet? God! makes the prophet. Every one of those prophets died, my brother/sister, even Jesus died but God doesn’t die. God was in Christ!

Reconciling the world unto Himself. God! In the prophets. That same modicum of God in you and me is… perchance that little bit of life lives there to recognize that God every single time.

Isn’t it strange as the Scripture says, “The ass knoweth its masters crib but my people do not know Me? The birds of the air know their paths but they don’t know my path. They don’t know my ways.

The foxes have holes, the birds have nests but the Son of man has got no home. What house will ye build Me? Not all my hands made this,… you stiff-necked and hard of heart you always resist the Holy Ghost.”

The people resisted God… resist God every single time in every turn in their lives, the lives of prophets and everything that God ever wants to do and it’s always plain done, “God ain’t He nice, God ain’t’ He nice.” God!

It’s not some little mockingbird song, some little sparrow, some little robin; it’s the eagle screaming, it’s the lion roaring, the suffering calf, brother/sister, that day that Jesus was just that momentarily. We’re the suffering calves.

He was the face of man; he could match any man down at any time. He said, “I am,” they fell backwards. You and I have that face too but it won’t get us there. What gets us there is the league, is a lion and the eagle, and they’re definitely one.

God manifested in the two highest forms of animal and bird life which we barely type. We don’t type at all really; we’re just thrown in there because God loves us.

[61-2]  Show Me where I’ve failed…

[61-3]  Now Christ said, “The works that I do shall you do also” See… the same God. [We’re back to…Ecclesiastes again. What He does He does forever; He can’t change Him or His works.]… see, the same God.… ”The works that I do… you’ll do also, more than this, for I go to My Father.”

The Church will be a little longer in Light. See? Vindicating His promised Word as God did His promises in [the Body of Christ], so is Christ doing His same works in Christ’s Body—the Church.

That’s exactly right. He is doing it in there because Brother Branham was in the same body you and I are in but you and I don’t do it.

Let’s go back to Romans and see it. Let’s watch it again.

Every one members one of another, so I am a part of William Branham, William Branham is a part of me, you are a part of William Branham and he is a part of you because every single one has the same Holy Spirit making one body. And so therefore, let’s go to,

So he’s trying to tell you what it is, and the body is made up of all the ministries, everything; it’s cohesive. It’s coherent. It has one life. It has one mind.

And if God chooses to make one the super eye so the body is full of life that’s exactly like… that’s exactly what God wants, and the foot stands back and tries to carry the ball, and the hand stands around and tries to carry the ball.

And always you’re going to find the same thing you get a five-fold minister someplace where God is working someone’s going to rise up and try to carry the ball, someone’s always… they’re not going to try to run interference.

They’re going to try to interfere with you. Now, come on, look I’m talking sense, I’m talking the truth and you know what I’m talking about. If you don’t you might as well go home now; I’m wasting my time.

Well, stick around we’ll send a tape out. I don’t want to be sarcastic but I want to get the thing across to you, brother/sister.

He says here,

[61-3]  Vindicating His promised Word as God did His promises in Christ’s Body, so is Christ doing His same works in Christ’s Body—the Church. See? Now, making His mystery known to His Bride Tree here in the last day, bringing forth the fruits that were in the Tree at the beginning.

Now you notice that Brother Branham has switched from the word ‘Bride’ and ‘Body’, the Body to Bride Tree. There’s a reason for it and we’ll see more of this as we go along but just remember he’s putting a word in there. Now he says, as it was in the beginning.

Now this is John 14:12 so we’ll go and read it. That’s what he’s been reading and giving us all along and let’s take a look at this thing here and remember this has to do with identification which Brother Branham skips. He doesn’t use this too much but he does use it sometime.

Now Jesus said that. That’s what Jesus said to those people that were in the know, that ate with him and slept with him, that fished with him, that went around with him and talked with him and rode the boat with him, trod the path with him, got aside with him.

You know what I’m driving at? You don’t get it you know expect by revelation. You don’t know him after the flesh. You can’t know him. Now they should have known better.

That’s from now on. From this point on you know that this is the Father revealed. God manifest in human flesh was Christ Messiah, one Person.

And Phillip said, “Hey, pull Him out of the bag. You can do anything. What you want to keep Him out front?”

Phillip took this as hey, isn’t it great? This guy can do anything. We’ve always wanted to know that tricky thing, the mystery of that One there we call God Jehovah.

Now how will He do it? Will he pull Him out of a gunny sack? Well come on. Will he make Him materialize? What’s he got up his sleeve?

Now if you think I’m just kidding you, you just look at this the way it is written. You start thinking. What else could it mean? He wanted a production. Right? Produce God!

Put your money where your mouth is. Good old, you know, Missouri, good old Missouri mule; seeing is believing.

Who’s talking? Jesus. Who’s Jesus? The Father. Now Jesus is not His own Father. He’s not His own Father. Let’s keep reading. Don’t be Jesus Only people, as God’s His own Father, come on, that’s paganism.

That’s right from the trinity doctrine of paganism where the baby sitting on the mother’s knee, she’s got a halo and he’s got a halo and it says… the child is the husband of the mother. Read Hyssop’s, Two Babylon’s.

Then how are you going to know who he is? Because he’s going to do the very works that the Father did in him; that being the same Spirit. Do you understand? That’s the way it is.

[61-3]  Now, making His mystery known to His Bride Tree here in the last days, bringing forth the fruits that were in the Tree at the beginning.

Just think, the same Pillar of Fire that brought the Word… that’s the same One that Paul said, “Who are you? And He said, “I am Jesus.”

That same One that brought the revelation is today bringing the same revelation into manifestation and clarification through revelation and proving that it is the same One by the same works because that’s exactly what Peter said.

“The One that you killed and crucified God has raised and had made him both Lord and Christ and shed forth this which you now see and hear and that was the Holy Ghost and it was the Holy Ghost that did the works.”

But remember, when you’re talking about works there are specific and sporadic. Mark 16 is sporadic. John 14:12 is specific because this only one will do. Mark 16 anybody can do, false anointing and the whole crew. If you don’t believe it you check the prophet.

There again we see Alpha and Omega. We see the cornerstone becoming the headstone because as the cornerstone He was with Paul vindicating Himself but now remember, this is the coming back prefacing the capstone in flesh which that did not do at that time.

That was merely setting a Bride up as we showed you in the pyramid. Now it’s coming back for the pyramid. Now remember, the cornerstone is the same material as the headstone and so is the whole Bride the same material. See?

[61-4]  Watch… [Now he’s going to talk about the tree a little more.] Watch, the tree puts forth a branch—a Lutheran. What did it do? [That’s that Lutheran branch.] When the tree started coming up, here came the fruit coming up with it. What happened?—they denominated.

So the Pruner came by (the Father, or the Husbandman) [That’s going back to the—what is that?—the 13th chapter of John of the vine. It’s not 15, I don’t think it is? Where is it? I guess it’s 15.

Oh yeah, the 15th chapter of the vine. Yeah.] So the Pruner that came by (the… Husbandman, the Father) and cuts if off, [cut if off] saying, “It’s dead.” Up came the Wesleyans; it did fine coming up. What did it do? The fruit went right back into the tree again, so He cut off the branch… dead.

The fruit there really is life. The fruit itself does not go back into the branch; it is the life that takes the fruit back with it. So when he’s saying that, what it was manifested for that hour as the Word of truth, it just drew back. It was gone.

Now watch the life come out and put out another little branch there.

[61-5]  Show me one… church… [Now this is Reformation leading up to restoration] Show me one… church… I want to know. I’ve got thirty-three years of church history… [whatever that means I haven’t got a clue. He might have really said, “I’ve been studying church history for thirty-three years.” I don’t know.]

Show me one time, one place, where any church every organized that didn’t die on the spot. [True.] Show me one place they ever rose again outside of… numbers and things—not a real revival. See? It’s not there. Not till she’s all gone. [In other words, the denominations are finished.]

[62-1]  So what did her Husbandman do?—came by and pruned it. See? It brought forth denominational fruit [lemons on an orange tree],

It should have brought forth oranges because it was living off the life. “In Him we live and move and have our being.” The same water, the same sun that waters the wheat is watering the tares.

There could not be a false church except for a true church and they’re drawing on the same mercy, the same grace of Almighty God; they’re drawing on the same revelation but the revelation is now perverted.

[62-1]  …so He pruned it off,… brought it forth, kept up… But where is the heart of the tree?—right in the middle. And He’s pruned them all down, till it got right in the top… He’s got a Seed down here in the root.

Like a tree that’s planted by the rivers of water (he takes God’s Laws and love in his heart)—and he shall be like a tree (Psalms 1) planted by the rivers of water; his leaves shall not wither; in his season he’ll bear his fruit. And here it is right here… [That means now at this time.] And where does the fruit ripen at quickly?

That’s why he’s talking about a tree because it’s fruit. And we are what? First-fruits? First-fruits can be part of your wheat crop, part of your oat, part of your barley, part of a lot of things, but we’re talking about tree.

Why? Because there was a tree in the Garden of Eden. So, we’re talking about trees. Do you follow me? Jesus went from bushes to trees, from animals to bushes to trees. You get like a mixed metaphor.

See there’s different ways of bringing it out. Just like he goes from chaff to wheat… chaff to tare, talks about tares, talks about chaff. See, you just got to watch what the metaphor is at that particular time.

At the top of the tree. At the top of the tree is the final growth. That’s our final growth. The ones that reaching closest to heaven. Right, getting closer to the dimension, that’s the last age Bride. Amen.

[62-1]  Why does the fruit ripen quickly at the top? The light is on it. Amen! That’s right. And we’re right in the top of the tree in this last days,…

I like the way he said ‘this last days’. It should be ‘these last days’ but it’s ‘this last days’ showing a period of time in the day when the Son of man is revealed is a period of time and we are in the time of the day of the Lord but that time of the great penalty and the judgment is put to one side.

Just like at the day of the Lord in Jesus Christ; he could have done two things but he did one which was bring justice and bring redemption. Later on coming back he’s going to do the other which is set in motion now which is the judgment.

Let’s watch this.

[62-1]  Why? The lights on it. Amen! That’s right… in the top of the tree in this last days, [under the Seventh Seal] He’s bringing forth a Bride Tree.

Now this is what the Tree was planted for to get to this place to redeem the entire tree. They without us cannot be made perfect.

And we’re coming to the place where the evening life will bring forth immortality which they couldn’t get of the Tree in the Garden that did bring immortality because God stopped it.

Now harvest light, that’s the light we’re in. Now remember, the light that rises in the East, the sun, or the light is the same that’s in the West. The light that’s… harvest, the harvest light that your crops, now they’re really… the light’s almost over as far as the crops are concerned here because they’re ripe.

It’s the same light but remember it’s the angle at which the sun is set and the earth turns that makes a difference between the first light and the last light or the spring light and the harvest light or the growing light and the harvest light.

Now as the earth has gone on its… it’s progressed and God has revealed Himself to this time, the end time light is going to bring forth a crop which it could not bring forth before because the Bride was not placed and God was not placed in their proper relationship.

Now are you all ears? Then somebody that understands my preaching please tell me what chapter I covered that in. Have you all sitting there stuck? You shouldn’t be by now.

Not one of you men, chapter 15 of 1 Corinthians, setting the church in order spiritually beginning at the Presence. That’s what He’s come down to do. We are now in relationship.

And that light, and you will notice, will bring forth weeds as it has never brought forth weeds at any other time of the year because the conditions are perfect for it.

And the dandelion that wanted to grow this high to bring forth fruit you’ll see a little swiggly bud down here bringing forth and it’s ripening.

And the sunflowers we got them in our backyard. They matured all year long as the birds kicked them out of the feeder. One came from last year. Nice, right away matured. Then we got some like this and they’re maturing right now; wouldn’t do it at any other time of the year.

There’s a fantastic growth, ecumenical move amongst the tares and there’s a fantastic dying out of the chaff, there’s a fantastic drying out of the Bride when the harvest light shines and the former rain falls at the time of the latter rain.

And I’ve said many a time, I’ve looked out my window, I don’t know the first thing about agronomy but I know this one thing, I looked out my window and I can see the golden grain around me and it’s not golden at all but right toward the time when that grain is supposed to be ripening and a rain comes right after that rain that wheat begins to ripen as it never did before.

You can see it a beautiful gold. It’s plump and beautiful. God’s got everything in His season and there’s a season down here. All right.

The time of harvest light, is life and death. That’s right. So the harvest sun brings life and it brings death. The life goes into the seed for the next time around and there isn’t any next time round.

And remember, the last plague of Egypt was death and this plague is spiritual death.

“I will kill her children with death.” Spiritual death which means the lake of fire, neither root nor branch after the Elijah ministry is over and the last foolish virgin is killed off.

I believe that’s the way it will be because they’ll come up in the second… the White Throne judgment. There won’t be any of them. Why? Because they’re nothing but tares. That’s now…

I’m going to read, pretty pitiful. I want to read right through to page 64 here before I start talking. You know, I don’t think I want to go into this because we have an half an hour left and there is no way I’m going to do anything more than just read.

So I’m going to do something I usually don’t do. You could either quit now, one hour, or I’ll give you an opportunity to ask some questions of what I’ve already said.

Last Sunday, last Wednesday I didn’t bring out as clearly as I wanted to how the first coming… how John the Baptist, number three Elijah and number four, also was in Isaiah 40. I’ll go into that another time to clear that up so you’ll get a little better understanding.

But always, every now and then I make a statements that perhaps don’t come through too clear and I did put you on the spot this morning I said by now you should know chapter I’m talking to and I’m not going to take that back because you should.

You should know if you’re following at all. That there is a church order far beyond a little room with gifts put in order. You should know true ministries. You should understand where the Word is.

You should know what God is doing because Brother Branham said, “When that Bride is placed, when she knows what her place is, when she knows who she is,” he said, “it would only take ten people thinking those same thoughts;”

And I don’t care where those ten people are. They’ll be in one place, not in one room maybe, but they’ll be in one Bride and then he said, “she’ll be gone.”

I put great stock on what the prophet taught. I do not put great stock upon conduct. We have always had conduct and even the Bible says, “Those ignorant except they know there is a God know there is a conduct.”

And Brother Branham said, “The heathen puts us all to shame by their conduct.”

And he told about the Shanghai people in Africa and so on. And I’m not going to worry about fruit. I’m not going to worry about virtue. Anybody knows that’s there or you haven’t got it in the first place. You’re worse than a heathen.

And I’m not going to talk about gifts for the simple reason they’re only complementary to ministries and you can see a lot of false people are exercising gifts and they haven’t got the least clue of what’s going on and they don’t’ want to know either and they cover up with a gift.

I’m talking about a revelation of Him who is that Word and that came by him showing Himself and proving who He was which was the interpretation of Ephesians 1:17, 18, or 17 and particularly 18.

Then when the prophet came and explained it we accepted it and knew it after the fact. That’s why everything we’re teaching now is after the fact and does not project to the future expect to the extent that after the fact determines the future. And what is that future?

The future is immortality with the Resurrection and caught up, everything that after the fact is the Shout, and Brother Branham being the historian like Moses could go back, take the first five books of the Bible.

Take Genesis in particular and lead right up to Exodus and put the whole thing right out there in a form and everything is in those first five books and now at the end time comes and we haven’t hit the Seventh Seal yet, Genesis but we’re going to hit it in here.

And that’s exactly why I don’t want to move on.

So now I’ve given you an opportunity. Anybody got any questions? I hope I haven’t scared you. I’m not as mean as I sound, you know. Little dogs always bark big. It’s the only defense they got. All right.

What’s your question?

[Someone asks the question:] “…is Isaiah… pertains to Brother Branham?”

Brother Vayle says, No, it pertains to two but I’ll check it out. I’ll show you… like Brother Branham does always does this, he took… in Revelation and he showed the Judge and he projected Him right on down through the White Throne.

And when you get into any portion of Scripture you’re always going to find that compound meaning and the constant projection because you don’t cut a thing off, it’s projection goes down. Jesus was projected to what he was in the Book of Isaiah 61.

And we’ll just take a look at it here. Let’s go back to Isaiah 61 to know what we’re saying.

He’s projected plumb down there but He cut off here, and always you’ll find in Scripture the projection and the cutting off until there’s a fulfillment. And you can find… the Elijah’s in Isaiah 40 in my understanding and also in Malachi 3 and in Malachi 4.

The coming suddenly to his temple where Brother Branham said the twelve year old boy appeared is the same thing who appeared down at the river? It was a sudden appearing. There’s your mystery. So there’s something in there.

If I’d of had my notes made clearer that Wednesday night I wouldn’t have been so unclear on it, so I’m unclear on it. Anything else? Okay.

We’ll make this a short one this morning, so the Lord bless you and this is phenomenal within itself but there’s no way I can go beyond what I’m doing because just one paragraph here would take too long.

So let’s rise at this time to be dismissed. Appreciate you all coming and the Lord love you, take good care of you. Keep praying. Keep sincere.

Remember, we’re moving on, brother/sister, you may not realize that but there’s a growth. There is a growth.

You look at nature and then you look at yourself and you say well, I’m apart from nature. You are entirely wrong. You are one hundred percent with nature because every illustration is there.

Heavenly Father, we want to thank You for the time we’ve had together with You this morning, Lord, trusting that things are clearer than ever before and You Lord, are more the central preeminent One in our thinking and our lives.

And Lord, I know You’re bringing us there in spite of ourselves. We know that and if it were dependent upon us we’d never get it done, this lukewarm age Father, pulls here and pulls there.

And it just looks like somebody got hold of a knitted sweater and the person started walking and pretty soon there’s no sweater.

Everything just all undone and that’s… but Lord, You could take that same old wool like the potter took the clay and just bring forth a new pot unto Your honor and for Your glory.

And you can take, Lord God, this Word that’s been so mutilated like that… but like that old violin battered and encrusted and worn and yet the hand of the Master violinist take it and bring forth the beauty of the that Word Lord.

Getting rid of all men’s creeds and dogmas, all misunderstandings and all wrong understandings, all these things, Lord, until that Word comes forth in Its pure beauty and Its glory.

Father, I just pray for every single one here. Lord, there’s not one of us that knows within ourselves that we absolutely are Bride because we can prove anything but Lord.

We know within ourselves by the fact that we have received this Word and do receive It, hunger and long for It and long for the revelation and for the correction and long especially for the life that’s got to come out of this Word, oh God, the conduit Lord.

You gave a conduit for Your Word and Lord, You gave a conduit to Your Word and Father, we’ve got to be that conduit, that vessel Lord, afore prepared unto glory.

Somebody’s got to be in by grace we believe that every single person here that has the… if he has Your representation as the prophet said, there isn’t one of us going to miss it.

So Father, help us all to have that representation in Jesus Christ our Lord by being filled with the Holy Ghost. And Lord, we can know that we can know.

So help us Lord, help every single one. Heal the sick among us, oh God, spur us on. Help us. Lead, guide and direct us, and bring us back safely again into Your Presence, oh God, into a time of blessing and fellowship as never before.

Pray for those Lord, who aren’t here, couldn’t be here this morning for various reasons but Lord, You know all about it.

You know those reasons whether they’re pertinent or impertinent and we know Lord, that’s true, but You know all about it. Just pray Lord, that each one of us will humbly seek Your face as never before.

Help me especially Lord, because there’s so many things that burden at this time, so many things to come across, oh God, till it’s almost would that we had a thousand tongues to say a thousand different things at one time for a thousand different people as it were, oh Lord, because there’s so much, oh God, so much, so much, so much, and yet people need so much.

So help Your people Lord, help them, oh God, because they need help. They’re sheep; they’re tenderhearted, they love You.

And Lord, we know we love each other and we’re trying to walk in the light having fellowship with the blood cleansing.

Lord God, be merciful to us in such a way Lord, that we recognize Your mercy as never before and believe You as never before just walking in that light.

So Father, we commend ourselves to You in the Holy Name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

We’ll sing, ‘Take the Name of Jesus with you.’
