Does God Ever Change His Mind About His Word? #05

Shall we pray.

Father we herald Your Presence, we witness to It, we know that You didn’t only appear in signs and wonders amongst us, but as Your prophet pointed to the truth that we have scientific evidence, even a picture taken which has been  identified and verified as the only true supernatural picture in existence.

And Lord, we realize it’s gone around the world and no doubt, hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people have seen It and yet, we know it has not turned men to you, neither indeed can it be unless they’re seed, because we know that only the children will recognize the Father, and only Word will recognize Word, and only will the eagles come together around the living Word of God.

The fresh slain meat for the hour, and Father we pray when we enter into that this morning with Your help, with Your blessing Lord, with Your guidance, with Your teaching, all these things Lord, we need from You, and we believe Lord, even as the prophet said, “That when Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden, You never sent a messenger but You, Yourself came.”

And so we believe today that You have descended with the Shout and brought us the true Word and are getting a people ready for the Wedding Supper: getting a people ready that they… that have gone on before without us will not be made perfect.

But all made perfect together having, You having risen with healing in Your Wings to do this. Father, we know this to be true, let it be true to each individual here this morning. Let us all partake with grace and truth in Jesus’ Name, we pray, Amen.

You may be seated.

Now you know we’re in number 5 of Does God Ever Change His Mind About His Word? And Brother Branham, of course, took the story of Balaam who was forbidden by God to go down and prophesy for King Balak, whatever the prophesy would be.

And then when he had the second time given the opportunity for even greater advancement and privileges, if he would only, actually, prostitute his gift ministry. He had wanted to go and God said, “Okay. You can go on down.”

And it brings out an idea here then, God can really change His Mind about His Word. Really the fact of the matter is God did not change His Mind about the Word at all; He just talked about conditions. And conditions have always been in the state of flux.

In fact, you’ll notice that, as I’ve said before, that if you look at the Bible; this is a history book. It’s a book of history of what God said to the people and how they took It or didn’t take It, how they acted and reacted and then you’ll see consequences.

And so, you don’t find that God ever changed His Mind about His Word and this is what we’re going to be looking at throughout this sermon that Brother Branham preached and of course, you’ll notice as in every other sermon, he speaks of vindication, particularly himself, because he is bringing us truth for the end time.

If William Branham is a prophet then he must be established as such. Not by his own testimony or by our acceptation, but it’s got to be God vindicating the man to us and thereby, God vindicating Himself that this is truly the Word of the Lord.

And so Brother Branham talking then, about God ever changing His Mind about His Word, the answer is “No, under no condition has God ever or ever will change His Mind about His Word.” And it’s completely proven in the Scriptures and it’s proven in the history of mankind as God deals with mankind, particularly His sons and then also, with the other seed which is not of God.

So all right now, last week we were especially looking at paragraph 79 which in my layout is page 17, but in yours it might be 16 or 18; I’m not sure. But I think the paragraphing is pretty well, the same.

And in there we notice that Brother Branham made a very definitive statement of doctrine and seeing it is something from the book of Genesis; it will run all the way through the Bible and therefore, all the way through human history as God is dealing with people especially in their relationship to God, their approach and worship of Him and their relationship with God as pertaining especially to God’s favor.

Now let’s read it again.

[79]  But Abel had the right sacrifice.

This is Cain and Abel. And you’ll see their sacrificing in the Presence of God and you will notice now that they’re approaching God and this is the means of approach; how can we get to God? The approach was broken: the communion, the fellowship was broken by sin.

Now, how do we going to get a relationship? And you notice that both of these young men came forward with an understanding, in their own way, of their Son-ship and relationship.

And yet, one was alone the son of Adam and Eve and the other was the son of the serpent and Eve, as the Scripture said, “Eve is the mother of all living.” [Genesis 3:20] But nowhere does it says, that Adam is the father of all living. And it couldn’t possibly be, because Jesus threw that in the Pharisees’ face; their faces.

Okay.

[79]  [And Abel] …but Abel had the right sacrifice. He knew that it was blood that did it, so he brought a lamb. And… God received his offering. And Abel did it by faith, by revelation, no other way; for there was no Bible written.

Now watch the definitive doctrinal statement and remember; does God ever change His Mind about His Word? Now that’s what you are looking at. So as this definitive statement of doctrine comes and this has to do with your passive faith without which you cannot have an active faith.

Now you can say what you want but we’re getting into real hot water here; in deep water. Because unless a definitive revelation of the truth is your portion there is no way that you can be placed as a born again Bride person, it’s absolutely impossible. Now this is what Brother Branham is driving at.

So let’s look at it.

[79]  So you see, the beginning of righteousness is God’s revealed Truth, and the entire Church of the Living God is built upon that.

There isn’t one single solitary member of the true Bride of the true Church of Almighty God of the Lord Jesus Christ of which Jesus Christ is the head; there isn’t one person that is in that elect and predestinated group outside of revealed truth.

Now this is your basic precept that goes all the way back and does God change His Mind about it? In no way. Now it doesn’t matter what somebody else says. See, it doesn’t matter. This is the truth.

Now, this may throw a wet blanket over the majority of people and this no doubt, will cause defiance; this will cause clinics of people to rise up to find out what spiritual health is. They’ll call their synods, their meetings of points, elect their head men and they’ll do their best by some ecumenical process to come to what is the definitive truth.

And it can’t be done that way. It just simply cannot be done because in the beginning here are two people worshipping and one is accepted and the other is not accepted. So, what made the difference?

Now, let’s look at something here. In the beginning you see the beginning of righteousness is God’s revealed truth. Now these people…these two of them, are both sinners. They’re alienated from God. And the alienation at this point, now at this point, is no different from the one to the other.

Abel stands there and Cain stands there. Now, the point is: how come that one of these will receive the definitive revelation which causes him to come and do that which is perfectly correct and the other does not have it?

Well, let’s go as we did last Sunday to Romans the 1st chapter and we look at verses 15 and 16, right in there.

Now, let’s go back to the Garden of Eden: what was it that Abel offered? He offered the sacrificial blood of the sacrificial lamb. Now, before Eve sinned there was no mention of a Savior. Before Adam sinned there was no mention of a Savior.

“But God being a Savior it was necessary He would predestinate a man who would require salvation in order to give Himself reason and purpose of being.” Now, this morning, listen to me, don’t matter how I cut the thing back and forth, it’s all Scripture.

But the toughest thing that you’ve got to face whether you know it or not in this hour is to be let in on the secrets of God that have been vindicated. And this is something that Irenaeus said and Brother Branham not knowing it, preached on Deep Calleth to the Deep and he said if there’s a deep in here; there’s a deep out there to answer.

So man in here needs a Savior, there’s got to be a Savior out there. But the question is this: did man’s fall make God a Savior or was He always a Savior? Now if you can’t see past that, you… you are wickedly outside the Gospel, because He always was a Savior. He can’t change. See?

And the Word about Him cannot change because there’s a Rhema-Logos God. The same as there is a Spirit Word. You cannot have a Word that is not Spirit and you cannot have Spirit that isn’t Word. You cannot have Rhema without Logos and you cannot have Logos without Rhema. You understand what I am saying? Anybody got a question?

Hey, might as well stop here and be real chummy because I feel real chummy today, I got all my good friends here from far and near and you folk I’ve had with me all the time and you’ve proved yourself to be most excellent. You can butt in anytime you want; if you don’t understand. See?

When you look at Logos, you are merely looking at the expression of what was there and what was there had to be a blueprint. You understand? And a blueprint is full of information, circuitry and every minute detail.

So if anybody thinks Rhema is apart from Logos like some of these people running around the country trying to make a name for themselves, when Brother Branham categorically just like the Bible, made Rhema and Logos the same thing, and the Spirit and the Word the same; there’s something wrong somewhere.

See, all right, now let’s get back here then if you’re with me, okay.

Now watch, there was no Savior mentioned at the time of the fact of the Garden when they could of gone right to the Tree of Life. Because the Tree of Life standing there signified not the sacrifice but the entering into immortality which was the high plan of God when the people had propagated themselves which means all the sons of God were there now.

Yup, and be ready for immortality. And Savior is not mentioned. But as soon as they sinned, He came down and shed the blood of a lamb. And listen, even before it was done, He said to the women, “Your seed will bruise the serpent’s head for what he did.” [Genesis 3:15]

All right, now therefore, at this particular time when Adam and Eve were in the Garden, they were innocent but they weren’t righteous. Now they were righteous to the degree they’d done nothing wrong. See.

But the point is they were simply innocent. Because remember, Christ Himself is our righteousness and notice Brother Branham said, “This is the beginning of righteousness.”

And Paul says, “That righteousness is revealed in the Gospel of Christ and Christ was back there in the Garden in type, but in full Spirit waiting for the day when He would come forth and die upon Calvary’s cross.”

So what I’m trying to show you is this: the Gospel of Christ goes right back to the Garden of Eden. It’s the same as Brother Branham, and people thought he mistakenly called the Jews ‘Christians’.

Hogwash, the Jews are Christians because the word ‘Christian’ comes from ‘Christos’ which is the same as ‘Messiah’ in the Hebrew. So if you want to know the truth, brother/sister, we are messiahites or messiahanic believers.

So if you want to throw the word ‘christos’ off and ‘Christian’ you do a very good service to yourself and fully identify yourself with the core of the Bible from the first man Adam and every child of the Living God.

So he says right in here,

In other words, without the truth of the Rhema which lay in the Logos as we know it, and you can’t get away from It; there isn’t any righteousness. Now is it sinking in?

Because this is the big thing with us see, I saw this as soon as I recognized Brother Branham as the prophet and heard his sermons on the basis of who and what he was, and you can go back with me some of you sitting here that heard me twenty-five years ago roughly; you know that I preached on righteousness and unrighteousness as the foundation stone of Brother Branham’s entire reality, necessity and anything God was doing.

And it went right back to one thing: we’re talking about it this morning, and it says right here,

So therefore, notice that righteousness is a revelation and faith itself is a revelation so therefore, you’re talking about Christ Himself, revealing to you the righteousness of God which you are a part of.

And if it’s not correctly revealed as we find the illustration here in Cain and in Abel, there is no way no matter how you sacrifice or what you do or how you go to the Word without It you are not a part of It.

And the word ‘just’ means ‘justified’ which means ‘as you didn’t even do it at all’.

So now listen, this throws it all back to what you’re looking at. God being a Savior; He had to predestinate you and me in order to give Himself a reason and purpose of Being within that role. God being righteousness: He had to predestinate a people who would require that, in order to give Himself reason and purpose of Being.

So therefore, when you come right down to the ultimate of God, the New Jerusalem is the reason and purpose of God’s being, with the Millennium being thrown in for further sanctification. Oh God, if we only had an understanding of one tenth of one percent of what I am saying based on the prophet, the Word of the Living God, we’d be screaming.

We’d be screaming this morning. We wouldn’t care who saw us or who heard us and if they didn’t scream with us we’d know they’re dead. I’m not here for screaming but the point is because I’m teaching. What I want to get across the reality that we’re talking about this morning.

This is not some little cooked up thing and we’re here to just hear a little bit of Word and have a nice time and have a little dinner and go home and say, “Wasn’t that nice?”  This is better than nice. See?

What I said a while ago, when you begin to get in these mysteries here, we’re talking about; it becomes so cut and dried that people think this church is deader than a door nail.

I’m going to tell you something: we are the most lively people in the world. Maybe we don’t express it enough to their satisfaction but let me show you something here.

Cain made such a ‘to do’; he even killed his brother. So your ‘to do’ doesn’t mean nothing, unless you have the revelation, then it means everything to you.

You know where meekness comes from? Right out of the Spirit and the Spirit comes out of the Word; because the Word and the Spirit mean the same thing. Yeah, come on, let’s relax this morning and understand it. See, I know, I know there’s, I know you and I, we got our starts in here because we’re afraid to turn loose.

We’re a little afraid we might make an error. How can you make an error when the prophet equated Spirit and Word right together; the measure of the Spirit is the measure of the Word? And if the Word is the conduit and the Spirit gave It; it’s like God producing His own Son when the light came forth, born from Him.

What more do you want? Relax, still not relaxed, I can understand why we’re so nervous, and our nerves are brought on by stupidity. There’s nothing to be nervous about. Get rid of it. Now let’s keep looking at this.

Now I read it, didn’t I? Showed you: I’m not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, right from the Garden. Abel wasn’t ashamed; Cain was. Cain was ashamed of the true revelation.

That’s why Brother Branham preached, Ashamed of Him and ended right up, ashamed of His Word because you can’t separate Rhema and Logos. You can’t separate Spirit and Word. Now am I giving you a mind fix this morning? If I’m not; I’m failing in my job.

You know Ron’s got a wife and she’s a sweet girl, but she says, I yell too loud. If she were here, she’d understand why I’m yelling loud. I don’t blame her saying that, my own granddaughter said that.

She said, Grandad, [inaudible]. Oh, I got… she was preaching one day as a little tiny kid, she screamed out; Grandma said, “O, don’t scream like that.” Well, she said, “I got to; because that’s the way Grandpa preaches.”

After hearing Brother Branham’s tape for days and days, a long time, one long day Alison hearing tapes and she finally quit and Mary said, “Oh, that’s enough, thank you; that’s enough about God and Jesus,” she said, “that’s enough God.”

People are that way, see? They don’t understand what the excitement’s about. See. They don’t understand where the… where the pressure is and we without meaning to try to put a dynamic in our preaching and our manner, our voices when the dynamics are not in there; they’re in the Word.

And if you have the Word, which Brother Branham called the mechanics, you got to have the dynamics or you wouldn’t have the true mechanics. That’s why it makes me laugh, not laugh; I get a little disgusted.

These preachers say, “Well, you see now, we believe in the Presence but you see, what was always the Truth, Lee Vayle had the wrong spirit.” How can I have the wrong spirit and know the mechanics, the way I know the mechanics?

Now I don’t say I have a good spirit when I preach sometimes because I do bop heads, but you can’t accuse me here of doing that. I hope to God; I’ve bopped your hearts and minds with them.

Now listen, we’ve read it right here and showed you, he was back there in the Garden. Now listen, so therefore, starting right here it shows you that God cannot change His mind about His Word; if He could change His mind then His first thought wasn’t correct.

If He changes His action then His first action wasn’t correct.  But the Bible disagrees; God’s own Word says, I don’t change My mind and I don’t change My actions. What I said, stands; and what I’ve done will always be done. Now He can change little things in between, but He will never change His Word.

See, Balaam went down to curse them; no dice. Go down twenty times. So when Balaam couldn’t curse them he rose up and tried to fight Israel and he died fighting Israel. You know the world is going to die fighting us.

They haven’t really turned loose on us, I don’t know what’s going to happen, but there’s something coming, let it come by the grace of God if we’re his children; we are not going to fall by famine, or peril or sword, we are not going to because He said, we wouldn’t.

Now you see when I say here, all these deep secrets that look so cut and dry, you’d begin to wonder. You say, “Where does it go to? Where does it go?” It’s coming to the place where this ‘cut and dry’ means; it is ‘cut and dry’. It’s out of your hands.

In other words, we have stepped over the perpendicular; we have stepped over the center of gravity until either God will catch us up or the devil’s going to take us down. Because ain’t none of you if you’ve got one ounce of this Message in you can suddenly stand back and say, “Well, I’m back to the old perpendicular.”

What’s your old perpendicular? Methodist, Baptist, Pentecostal; Phttt, hey, I’ve been through the Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, the Pentecostals, oh Lord, even some British Israel. Phttt. Which one would I go back to? It’s all heresy and hearsay.

Okay, he says here from the beginning of righteousness,

[79]  …you see, the beginning of righteousness is God’s revealed Truth, and the entire Church of the Living God is built upon that.

Then he quotes from Matthew 16 but I just read over here in Romans and took you back to the Garden. Now I’m going to take you way over here to the Book of 1 John, the 3rd chapter and notice what it says in verse 9.

Now it tells you right there what Brother Branham said: “There’s a day coming when you’ll find out you always were saved.” Now it says right here, he cannot commit sin because he is born of God.

Now right in the beginning here, he’s going right back to Cain and Abel where Brother Branham took us. And Brother Branham by divine vindication, THUS SAITH THE LORD, proven thousands of times and if anybody can talk about it, I can because I’m the only man living around here who’s really with the prophet, they’re all dying off; I’ll likely be here to witness.

Yup, don’t try to get rid of me too quick. It’s your business whatever you do. But you know you can’t fight God?

Right here Brother Branham took us back right where John takes us, right back to Cain and Abel.

But I want you to do one thing: I want you to be smart and get rid of the interpolation. Because the interpolations mess you up every single time. Now what is the interpolation? The interpolation is ‘neither he that loveth not his brother.’

Forget it. That’s an interpolation. What is the doctrine? Doctrine don’t have interpolations. Right? You bet I’m right.

Now what is he telling you? Exactly what Brother Branham says here. That in the revelation and in the revelation of the gospel alone, do you have righteousness set forth to you because God is his own Word; He is the Rhema-Logos.

He will never manifest in you and me as His righteousness unless there is a definitive revelation that this is the Word of God. Now why did Cain kill his brother? Because his sacrifice of worship was evil.

Now why didn’t he love his brother? He couldn’t… jealousy, “Who do you think you are anyway? Well, you’re the only one that got a corner on God. What do you know anyway?” Notice, they’re all belligerent. The big sneer. The big put down.

And if that doesn’t do it; they’ll kill you. We could be killed some of us. Oh, God, give us strength to stand up there and get killed. For that’s all that matters anyway: standing with the Word of the Lord. We don’t stand with It: how is It going to stand with us?

Now, so you see what we’re talking about.

[79]  Now, [let’s go back, and] by faith, by revelation, no other way; for there was no Bible written.

It wasn’t written down. So therefore, it had to come by revelation. Now listen then, if it was by revelation to begin with before it was written down, it had to be somewhere there in God and it takes a revelation, no matter if it is written down. Huh? Absolutely. Because if It starts that way that’s the way It’s got to keep on going. See?

Now, let’s go a little further, we go to 1 Peter, and we read it before, the 1st chapter, verse 22.

Now what does it tell you there? The same that John says, “If you’re one of the brethren through revealed Word, being born of the Life in that Word, you will love your brother.”

I’ve preached it for years here, waiting for the day God would give me help to back it up. Quoting from Brother Branham, never knew he took Easter Seal: he said, “If you’re all one with each other in the Word you can’t help but love each other.”

I preached it here and you know it; ten solid sermons and I knew I was right. Maybe I wasn’t right in my spirit, dirty old Vayle in his rotten spirit, funny he gets the Word so correct, isn’t it? How come I’m not a bastard to the Word if I’m a bastard to that nice spirit you want?

Time after time I lied at you or pulled a deal on you; you can’t do it. You can’t do it. I’ll stand here in my meanness; not trying to vindicate myself, but I can tell you I know this Message and this Word. I take it back and forth.

Paul mentions ‘unfeigned love’ which means ‘hypocritical love’. In other words, your love and mine is not the true fruit of the Spirit in the depth of the reality apart from an anointing, unless it’s one with this Word.

Now let’s get this straight here Grace Gospel Church, I am telling you what the apostle Paul said, I’m telling you what Peter said, and I’m telling you that you know William Branham vindicated by God and there’s the picture said: if you really have this Word you will love each other.

We’ve seen a lot of stuff gone, years gone by, supposed to be love, don’t tell me it’s love because I know better. Get your lips tuned up with your heart; and your heart with God. I’m not trying to be mean; I’m just telling you the truth because I’ve stood with this.

Until you’ve stood as long as I have; you listen. You know it doesn’t cost very much, at the end of the road it will seem nothing. I look back now; anything I’ve gone through is less than nothing compared to what we have in this hour.

But I want to tell you God owes no man anything. And he told us the same thing. Love… Paul said, “Owe no man anything but to love.” [Romans 13:8] Which simply means; if you’re going to do anything, sacrifice for somebody, stand aside. Do what you can.

Now we’re reading in here; and it says,

It shows absolutely that Cain was of the corruptible seed. Come on now. John talks about seed. One is the seed of the serpent; the devil. One is the seed of God. One is a corruptible and one is an incorruptible.

So therefore, the true child of God that is the seed will always go to the incorruptible revealed Word of Almighty God, because just as soon as you add to that Word, It is corrupted. It’s finished, it’s all over.

Now we read in John: didn’t we? About the fact that which is born of God does not commit sin because his seed remaineth in him.

Now let’s go back to the Book of Psalms 65, and the 65th Psalm, I hope it is, and if it’s not then it’s another one. 65 and 4, and we read.

In other words, you’re not home till you’re back in the Bride because that’s the house of God. Now it tells you right here,

In other words, God did not cause Cain to approach. He only caused Abel to approach. Seed lies in election. And love lies in election. When Israel began to complain against God in the 3rd chapter of the Book of Malachi: God said, “Your words are stout against me, saying, wherein hast thou loved us?” [Malachi 3:13]

And he said, “Herein have a loved you. Jacob have I loved and Esau have I hated.” [Romans 9:13]

And the Bible distinctly said, “Before the children were born and neither having done good or evil, that the election of God and the calling, the foreknowledge, predestination would stand good. He said, I love one and hate the other.” [Romans 9: 11]

And they had not done one thing, so therefore, the whole program of salvation lies in God at His own discretion. You got it right here. Other than seed, which is designated in the body, the temple, the New Jerusalem; they cannot receive the definitive revelation except for that little elect group.

That’s why you got the foolish virgin and the wise; the foolish at the end time, they never had the Word, and so the oil had leaked out. And by the time they ran scurrying around for the Word; it was too late. Brother Branham categorically said, “When they’ve preached this Message, denominations will; it will be too late.”

And Rome has already said, categorically set forth from Rome itself, “Jesus Christ is here.” And I’ve been preaching that from 1977 every single message; this year I’ve got fifty-six this morning now, an hour and a half each time, 81 a year, that’s a hundred and twenty hours.

This year it’s ninety hours will be coming up. Hundreds of hours, hundreds of tapes; I’ve done nothing but scream His Presence, the vindicated prophet and God’s vindicated Word. So Rome is taking it up now. How close is the time?

How soon will they have all the genomes all established? It won’t be very long because so many big companies working now with computers, they even solved a problem no man could solve with banks of computers, as they said, it could not be done.

And one man put banks of computers in a row, I don’t know, and then he relayed, he got a bunch doing this and a bunch doing that, got the answer, there it was. What was that? Do you know anything about that Peter? Rich, do you know?

I’m not smart enough like you guys but I read about it, but I don’t retain those things in my mind. I only know that this question could not be solved, but it was: banks and banks of computers.

“They’ve come…,” Brother Branham said, “they’ve come so close to the place where they can define life and actually almost produce it.” Now they’re trying to tell you, as long as there is protein, life will come. Ha, ha, ha.

In other words, as long as I’ve got bills, cash will come. Let’s go on a spending spree. Well, as I say, if you’re going to be a jackass, be a good one.

You know, Aesop’s Fable, when the jackass decided he was going to take the world over, the animal world. They said, “There’s nobody great as the king and that’s the lion.”

So he got a lion’s skin and he put it on himself and all the animals listened until the jackass opened his mouth: he tried to roar and all he… “Hee-haw, Hee-haw.” And they knew who he was; so much for organized religion. That is strange that Balaam’s jackass knew more than the whole bunch of them put together.

All right, you cannot move anywhere in the Scripture but what you find there is no sacrifice, there is no offering, there is no anything, but what positively is based upon a revelation and this is proven in the Garden of Eden, so therefore, it cannot change under any circumstances, because God cannot change His mind because God and His Mind is one thing.

Isn’t the first thing we say about God that He is omniscient? Right. Why do we put omniscience above omnipotence? Because omnipotence without omniscience is very, very scary, but omniscience with anything at all to back it up is fantastic, but if it hasn’t got a thing to back it up then it’s like a jellyfish.

All right, the 3rd chapter of John:

Now listen, let’s find the explanation of the ‘not believing in the name of the only begotten Son of God’. Now watch it; they’ve got to be in apposition. Because it says right here, ‘he that believeth not is condemned already because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God’.

Now what is in apposition below is also an explanation because anything in apposition explains it. Right? Oh, come on. If anything in apposition did not explain it; then you’re just twice as dumb to begin with. Now you got two conundrums. See?

So if I put in there the roan [the horse]: you very seldom talk of anything ‘roan’ except the horse or the ‘sorrel’ or the ‘chestnut’. But if I was a little leery about you knowing what a roan was and a chestnut and a sorrel; I’d put horse, one and the same thing. But if you don’t know ‘horse’; now you’re twice as dumb.

My God, what’s chestnut? What’s horse? Chestnuts are a nut off a tree. Hoi-oi-oi. What’s a horse? What’s a horse? What’s a horse? No one is supposed to illuminate the other. Right? Give it an emphasis. So what are you looking at?

So therefore, people turn down the Light concerning the event, the deed, the person. And so let us understand this quite correctly, there can be no sacrifice for you and me which is efficient even though God Himself ordained it, perpetrated it perfectly, unless we accept the Life that goes with It.

Even as it says over in the Book of Hebrews, “He that turned down Moses’ law even after the shedding of the blood, there remained no more sacrifice for sin, because he trampled underfoot the blood of the covenant.” [Hebrews 10:28, 29]

So therefore, in this age if God should bring a man on the scene like Paul, then the blood of the covenant is trampled underfoot. You do what you want about it. I’m reading the Bible and telling you what the Bible says. You just can’t say, “Well, the blood of Jesus, the blood of Jesus.”

The world said the world is going to get together on the power of Jesus. Oh, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Lovely Jesus. Forget it. One can come in his own name and be received when they turn down the One that came in his Father’s Name. Don’t you be too happy about any name.

What am I trying to tell you? I’m trying to show you the Word of God; that the Name of Jesus Christ, or the Name of God is thoroughly revealed by revelation. It is the revelation. Name of God is the Word revealed. That’s kind of a far off statement; but it’s a good one just the same.

All right. Let’s go to 2 Timothy, and in 2 Timothy, 2nd chapter, and verse… that’s not what I want, well, turn over, we’ll get the right one. Okay, lights gone out. See where I’m at. All right. Oh, here it is, here. 2 Timothy, 3rd chapter,

Now, here is where we see what the Word of God positively means to us. Now, in the same… 2 Timothy, the 2nd chapter, verse 15,

Now over here it tells you, “All scripture given by inspiration.” [2 Timothy 3:16] Now if the inspiration of God gave it and you don’t have the inspiration of God; you’re out of luck and its proper doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in order that you may come to that perfection.

In other words, anything you do from this time on having come under this category is going to be acceptable. Now this wasn’t the way it was with Cain… but, see watch.

Cain offered a beautiful sacrifice but it didn’t do. The Scripture distinctly said in the Septuagint, ‘Thou hast offered right but if thou hast not correctly divided; hast thou not sinned.”

So you can be worshipping God and doing your best; a hundred percent, and be a hundred percent off base. Why? The adding of one word or taking away of one word throws you plumb out into darkness.

In other words, you and I do not have a prayer of getting anything from God unless we say, “Look this book is original. It cannot be changed.” They said to Brother Branham, “Why, hey, what about those Thunders? You could even write a book.”

He said, “Just a minute,” he said, “those seven Thunders are already in there because you can’t add or take from It.”

And that’s a hundred percent right. Because the same Book of Revelation that talks of the Thunders sealed up under the Seven Seals; the same Book at the very end says, “Don’t add or take a word.” Oh, the prophet was a hundred percent with the Word of God.

Notice it says,

The wrong division of the Word is what? Profane and vain babblings. What is a vain babbling? Vain means ‘it doesn’t work’, if you do it uselessly. And it’s nothing but a babbling, chattering of a brook.

Eve added a word; Cain took away. Next, next, next, until there’s nothing left, until the seed is completely run out and there is no Word. God won’t stand behind that. He said, “You’ve made void My commandments and my promises by your traditions.”

Now watch,

Do you think for one minute that, that hasn’t happened in this hour? Like somebody said, “Well, Brother Vayle, we understand you believe the resurrection is over.”

“Where did you get that nonsense?” I’m here, ain’t I? Sensible way to answer a guy like that, you know.

But it says, now watch, is spite of all of these things.

Which means that you know better to do it and you won’t do it; we’re right back to Psalms. [65:4] ‘Blessed is the man whom thou choosest and causest to approach unto thee’.

All of this is by election and only the elect will understand. There I say again, you’re right back to ‘the cut and dry’. What is wrong with ‘cut and dry’? You think it wasn’t ‘cut and dry’ in God’s mind before the foundation of the world, a speck of stardust.

Oh, come on, it was cut and dry. God Himself is cut and dry. God has limitations and His Word describes His own limitations which means His description. Come on. When are people going to grow up and understand truth and adhere to It the way Brother Branham said It?

Now all right, we took this and let’s read on because our time’s gone.

[79]  [Now he said,] …you see, the beginning of righteousness is God’s revealed Truth, and the entire Church of the Living God is built upon that.

[80]  Jesus, one day, coming off the mount, said to His disciples, “Who do men say that I, the Son of man, am?”

One said, “You’re Moses,” …the other…said “You’re Elijah, one said, Jeremias, …one of the prophets.”… “But who do you say that I am?”

[81]  That’s when the apostle Peter, inspired of God; [in other words, watch.] That’s when the apostle Peter, inspired of God, quickened by the Spirit.

Those are two phrases in apposition: ‘inspired of God’ means he’s ‘quickened by the Spirit’. It’s got to be revelation. …made that tremendous statement: “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God.”

[82]  Notice the statement: “Blessed art thou, Simon, son of [bar] Jonas (son of Jonas), flesh and blood has not revealed…unto you; My…Father in Heaven has revealed this to you. You are Simon; and upon this rock…” What rock? Now, the Catholics say…, “Upon Peter, the little rock, the (little stone).” And the Protestants say, “Upon Christ, the Rock.” Not to be different, but it was upon the revelation that Peter had Who He was. “No man can come to Me,” said Jesus, “except My Father draw him; and all the Father [gave] Me will come to [Him.]”

And throw that together with Psalms 65:4 which I read: “Blessed is the man whom Thou choosest and causest to approach unto Thee,” of such is the New Jerusalem.

“Thou (art the) Christ, the Son of the Living God.”

[83]  “Blessed art thou, Simon, son of Jonas, flesh and blood has not [notice he is repeating] has not revealed this to you, but My Father which is in Heaven. And upon this rock I’ll build My Church, and the gates of hell cannot prevail against it,” Spiritual[ly] revealed Word of God.

In other words, what is the ‘rock’ of the Church? Spiritually revealed Word of God.

Now notice, what I read over here in Timothy.

Now Paul did not say for him to study somebody else. He said, “You study me. You make sure that you’re interpreting every single thing according to what I said. I am your guide”, he said, “because you have many instructors, one thousand or so, but only one Father in the Gospel; I have begotten you,” and he said, “my son, Timothy.”

Now he said, “Study to shew yourself approved.” In other words, you take what I gave you and thereby, you can take the whole Word of God and divide It; you won’t have any trouble.

Just don’t throw your own thoughts in by saying, “Well, isn’t it true that that the Book of Zechariah says this must happen and that must happen? And Brother Branham bypassed it.”

Shut your mouth, filth pot. I wouldn’t call you anymore than sewage. Don’t even talk to me. I don’t want you in my house. Say, “Just get out of here.” What have I got to do with the devil?

And the guys that scream the loudest are the rottenest. They’re liars, they’re whoremongers, they’re thieves, beat their wives down and everybody else. Yeah, I know what I’m talking about: don’t tell me. And don’t call my bluff because I can name, names.

I’m just in a sweet mood this morning. You don’t think so? Why do you think I got you laughing this morning? I got to lower the boom on the Word. And don’t think it doesn’t hit me, if this Word doesn’t hit me; forget it, I’m not interested. I want to get polished up.

Listen, ‘shew yourself right… not to be ashamed’. Notice, you won’t be ashamed now, and notice, remember, ashamed at His Presence is in John, chapter 2, 1st John. Not be ashamed at His Presence.

How many people are going to be ashamed in His Presence right now? What ‘ashamed’ mean? They’re caught naked. They’re caught in their harlotries, their adulteries. They’re caught in Laodicea: wretched, miserable, naked, blind. And that word ‘wretched’ means ‘begging as a beggar’. Oh, rich and increased in goods.

I knew a guy who during the Depression time he was wooing this little… poor little old lady that had some money, she had a few bucks, and he needed her dough desperately, so he was telling her what a great man he was and how much possessions he had, but he was short of cash.

He was always short of cash; he got all her money and went on to someone else. You’ve got short changing artists in the church; don’t think you don’t have. Right? Gentlemen, thank you, that’s right.

Now watch,

Now you see, we’re looking at right here; he said, I’m building my church upon the spiritually revealed Word of God, that’s true, and these people here are not upon the spiritually revealed Word of God, but they’re right in there. And every time you’ll notice they will take you off the Word. That’s their job.

Now this fellow Hymenaeus and Philetus, they are a couple of elders or deacons for all I know, at least somebody in the church that figures they should be somebody, running around telling the congregation.

Now Paul said, they’ve erred concerning the truth, saying the resurrection is over and overthrowed the faith of some. Some of you say, “What… what do this anyway.” They don’t understand vindication. Go back and check it with the prophet. See.

Now, now watch.

So instead of you all pulling this way and that way; just say, Lord, you know if I’m yours or not. I’m just going to stick with what the prophet said. And if he said one thing, I’m just going to believe it like he said it. If he said another thing, I’m going to see where they come together.

Because if he said one thing here and one thing there, it’s like the Word of the Lord; it doesn’t change, it’s a circumstance over here, that’s not over here. But the Word itself doesn’t change. And these people get an idea that the Word can change. Circumstances don’t change the Word. Because Brother Branham showing you, you’re going to get through It.

How much time we got? Twenty minutes, all right.

Now I’m going to tell you something; people don’t like the idea of you and me going to this Word. I wonder if I got a little letter here, somewhere, I’m going to read you a letter here. Now just don’t get fooled by this letter, pretty… pretty, pretty nice in certain spots. Now the guy that wrote this is completely out in left field.

[Start of letter. Brother Vayle’s comments are without quotation marks.]

“Dear Beloved Brother Lee Vayle,”

That ought to tell you something right there. That’s the truth; it should. Always get suspicious. Beware of Greeks bearing gifts.

“Blessings in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Many years ago the Lord let me meet you in Norway.”

That’s quite possible.

“Now recently a brother from Norway just some two or three days from time of writing, a brother in Norway had told me a vision about you which he had one and a half or two months ago concerning you. That you must have… that must have been around the first part of May this year.”

I don’t even know where I was at that time.

“To start with the brother personally, has never met you personally, but had heard about you, maybe from you on tapes, I guess.”

Oh, he did alright. And he heard about me.

“Since this vision is a serious thing, he told me it should not be spread any further unless you yourself confirm it to be the truth or not. Anyhow, you know if you had such a kind of experience as this brother saw in the vision. And the reality itself will tell you if this has already happened or not.”

“Therefore, it is before you to let the truth confirm the vision if you had such an experience or not. The motive of writing to you is not to withhold anything that would be the truth from God, from you because that would not be real agape love, because the love God demonstrated through the prophet has always been correctly corrective. (Ho, ho.) where it is necessary.”

Very nice guy.

“So, the motive of writing you is brotherly love and to avoid rumors.”

Just keep listening.

“What this brother in Norway saw… his name is Johnny Rostead, (whatever, was this:) in the middle part of May around more or less he saw there was a light come up from Carthage, Mississippi to your place, to you, Brother Lee Vayle.”

Evidently he didn’t get my place. He couldn’t say anyway.

“And that light hit or shook you from your feet. While at the same time came down from heaven a light that the upper part of your body came down and your feet came up.”

In other words, they stood me on my head. I never had the vision. So this vision is patently false.

“You then got a tremendous grieve in your heart and afterwards quoting the words the brother told me in Norwegian translated. Afterwards, Lee Vayle…”

Now watch,

“In his intellectual hard carnal nature, Brother Lee Vayle, you went to the message to test if this experience was from God.”

Did Cain check his? Did this guy check his? Where would I go except to the prophet to find out? Now I want you to listen; this is the thing that goes on… now this fellow doesn’t cut any ice, he’s maybe got two or three people around him, but I’ll tell you about him.

It’s one of those terribly dysfunctional things in this world, but I’m reading it to let you know that if we have some definite word from God, we had better go by it. I don’t care who it came from. The very thing that God told Brother Branham was not: Bill Branham, you forerun… it says, the Message.

Now it’s the Message of His Presence and the Presence is a judging Presence.

“Now you went to the Message to find some pinpoint to prove that it was not of God, that experience. That was as far as it was told me and this here brother here tried his very best to actually translate it for you. Myself, I don’t know if this happened to you or not. But if it has I would counsel you not to use the Message with self in any way.”

“The greatest enemy is self.” The prophet said.

“To disprove something that could be from God and not just because it might hurt self or supersede what self can understand to describe it is from the devil.”

Well, if it wasn’t from God: where was it from? Well, it could be from himself. And if it’s from himself, where is he sitting? Now remember, the Judgment, the White Throne, the wicked are scattered as the chaff, only the righteous stand.

“Now what if it’s from God and you can’t anyhow find it in some Messages? Maybe God hides it from you. My thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways not… the Scripture said.”

I thought we had a face to face today in the Word is revealed. Now you watch where this guy is going.

“So it behooves us to be careful otherwise self will bring a person to call the Holy Ghost manifesting himself a devil and then the Holy Ghost is blasphemed and such person is finished.”

Now you see, he loves me so he’s going to try to scare the pants out of me. Now you’re talking to a tough old buzzard when you talk to Lee Vayle. Because back in Pentecost there were two women who loved to lay hands on and prophesy.

And one women was a self-righteous pinhead and the other was a self-righteous, what she was flathead. And the first one loved me so much she was going to have me win millions of souls in the world; and the other one hated my guts because she wanted to be someone, she was condemning me to hell. And I sat there laughing over both of them.

Yeah, the one woman got this right; worldwide I am known but not a soul winner. I teach a little bit and they don’t like it.

“It may be a vision from God or not depends on if you had such like experience.”

I never had it.

“I cannot take stand to that, maybe you had such a kind of experience or not.”

In other words, he’s saying well, I really believe you had it but I’m not going to trust you to say you did.

“To let you know that Carthage, Mississippi, there’s a brother, Odell Fredricks.”

[Start of comments regarding Odell Fredricks.]

That’s exactly right. Now you told me how I told about Brother Hancock, I knew this Odell Fredricks was prophesying at home and bringing it into the church. And after I found out from different people phoning me, and I say, Brother Hancock, “I want to warn you that this is against church order.”

Well he said, “Brother Vayle, you don’t understand.”

“Brother Hancock, I do understand. And I want to ask a question. When this man comes to church does he bring his prophecy to church having previously had the prophecy before he came? Can he get to church.”

“Yes, that’s what he does.”

I said, “Brother Branham said, ‘He’s to bring it to church say it there and get it judged’.”

He said, “Brother Vayle, you don’t understand.”

“The trouble is, you don’t understand.” I said, “My brother, I’m not here to fuss at you but know this when this turns on you and it brings you a headache and people concern, remember what I told you.”

This man, Hancock, then wrote letters because Odell plays the guitar and God gave him an eight inch pick whereby he plays the guitar and it perfects the Bride. I’m not lying to you. Hancock wrote a letter telling the people and I had one of them that this man would perfect the Bride.

Then when he was called on it; he denied writing it, but it’s in his own writing. Now he turned this man loose with this stupidity. I run across these people all the time. Not all the time but enough time. If anything comes their way: “Oh, I supersede Brother Branham. I’m the great one.”

Laurie was the apostle, a guy out in Chicago, Mitch would know his name, but I forget his name, he was a real sweet guy. Because somebody had a Polaroid camera that leaked some light and here was the dove of fire. My, my, the great apostle.

Let me tell you something, ain’t nobody but William Branham and his Message. And if you think I supersede him you are crazier than a hoot owl or a loon. Because they pulled that on me years ago and said, “Brother Vayle, if anyone’s qualified, you have been around Brother Branham, wrote the books, you take his place.”

I say, “Who are you kidding?”

“Well,” they said, “Brother Vayle, you’re a teacher of the teachers and the preachers now.”

And I said, “Who are you kidding?”

Let me tell you something; I said, if I had my head in the sand all these years, my rear end is so full of buckshot now, I couldn’t walk under water now, you think I’ll pull my head up now and have them shoot it off.

This is full of all the stupid quotes, how this man is to be somebody, he hasn’t had one THUS SAITH THE LORD, or anything and if he did I wouldn’t believe it because Balaam followed Moses and he died fighting the Truth.

[End of Brother Vayle’s comment.]

Now he said,

“Let me know if that… to let you know that Brother Odell Fredricks who really has the Lord Jesus Christ visibly before him day and night on his right side.”

Who said so?

“And I’ve watched what God spoke to him personally over several years to come to see exactly to pass.”

That’s not the Word I get from the people that know him.

“Beside I found a brother in the message reflected so much the nature of Christ as that brother.”

The nature of Christ; to go against the Word of God, to supersede the Word, to say Elijah… somebody’s going to come after Elijah? I thought Elijah made the Rapture all by himself up there. What is he talking about? See. Now he says here,

“I went there to find out myself; maybe you haven’t and just rely on rumors.”

I don’t rely on rumors; I talked to the man that put him forward. No ministry but a great calling as Brother Branham said in Israel the church… is to find all these insane quotes here.

“Adding a little quote booklet from the prophet, please let me know if there’s truth in the vision, brother, that you really had.” [End of letter]

I won’t bother answering his letter. I get them all the time. Not all the time but enough of the time. They’re kind of petering out. Why do these people come to me, either to destroy me or get their approbation? What is it? Do you think it’s maybe possible that I know a little bit of the Word of God? It just might be.

[83]  And upon this rock I’ll build My Church…

Paul said, ‘You come to me, Timothy.”

I don’t consider myself a ‘Timothy’; that would be a little bit too presumptuous. I don’t aspire to that.

But I do go to Brother Branham to see what he said about what God said, because that’s exactly what Paul said to Timothy: you check what I say about what God has already said because listen, I can read it to you, where he tells him, Titus and Timothy; how to follow him completely.

[84]  Notice, Abel by faith in God offered a more excellent sacrifice. And the carnal believer thought that it was the works of his own hands… and his fruits and his beautiful offering that he brought, that God would recognize, and it made a clash.

Now listen, talking up here in paragraph 78. No, back here,

[78]  It started at the beginning, [there they both were] the natural and the spiritual… Yet Cain and Abel worshipped the same God. They… built the same kind of altars, …they both did, they both worshipped the same God at the same church, same altar. But Cain by carnal reasoning brought… the fruits of the land and laid them upon the altar as a sacrifice, thinking that surely… this would be answer to God for an atonement. So he must’ve brought in, as people think… apples, that Adam and Eve took… caused the sin,

Now, hold it right there. We’re going back to the beginning. Does God change His Mind? Now what started in these people’s minds? They never attributed the reality of the original sin to the truth about it.

Brother Branham categorically says, that Abel [Cain?] denied being the seed of the serpent. Evidently Eve herself denied it because she said, “I’ve gotten me a man from the Lord.” [Genesis 4:1]

Now listen carefully and get my understanding what I’m driving to, with this statement I’m finished, because our time’s up anyway. Brother Branham said, “The prophet, the former rain prophet in the latter rain plants the seed of the entire Bible from serpent seed to the prophet in the latter rain.”

In other words, if you are not correct on serpent seed; understand what I’m saying? You’re too nice. You still believe what these stupid women believe; they represent the church. I do not talk to my sisters here because you know that I love you. You know that to be a truth. And if you say different, you’re a liar and I’ll pin your nose in it because I’ve got my integrity.

They think with some… because it’s a serpent or a beast that it’s some big four-footed hum, hump, elephant; raped her or something. He was more of a man than Adam was; that’s where your giants came from. You get rid of serpent seed truth; you don’t have a clue to the rest of the Bible.

You cannot understand the sower and the seed, you cannot understand election, you cannot understand foreknowledge, you cannot understand predestination, you cannot understand seed, you are going nowhere; you are in error.

But if you accept it, and understand that Eve was the mother of all living but Adam was not the father of all living and begin to see the truth of the prophet by vindication brought to us you will begin to see ‘seed’.

And within seed you will see that you were in the Father and by natural means He brought you down here, therefore, you cannot sin, you could never disbelieve Him. But you turn on that doctrine and get some idea that God by foreknowledge and election somehow saw you there and you turned into seed, you have missed it. You either were or you weren’t.

Now I’ve covered that the second time, third time, fourth time, maybe hundredth time in this church, let’s get this flat and look you all in the eye. I want to get you all, every single person. I’m before God and the White Throne.

When I understood seed; everything opened up from the prophet to me. I wrote and I saw what I couldn’t write and see before, when I understood Baptism with the Holy Ghost it’s the ‘rebirth of the seed’. If you and I are outside of this Word, the revelation of the prophet gave, where are we going? because it’s the only thing that has been vindicated.

Nothing else; it’s all talk, talk, talk, it’s vain babblings. This bunch says this and that bunch says this, and that bunch says something else and get them all together it’s a cacophony [disharmony] of babbling. But the Bride is the voice of many waters: rest, peace and beauty because everyone is in divine order of the smooth flowing of God, the river and the water of life.

Well, what’s that? Three more paragraphs: four.

Let’s rise and be dismissed. We’ll move faster from now on because we’ve laid the whole thing before you.

Heavenly Father, again we want to thank You for Your kindness, the lovely people that You get us to be around in these meetings, we appreciate them so much, we love them dearly, and would only want the very best for every single person Lord, if we were ninety-nine percent serpent seed here, how could we not want the best for everybody and ourselves included, making a hundred percent, journey to the New Jerusalem, the living temple of the Living God, waiting for resurrection and immortality, hallelujah.

What a marvelous delight it is Lord, how we thank You for this, in the Name of Jesus Christ.

Now, Lord God, we pray as we go, fellowship one another, others like our dear brothers and sisters go down the road, we want very safe travelling mercies for them and also others going down the road, several here this morning, may they just have a marvelous time in the power and love of the Word; the Spirit of God moving them, as one of the sounds of voices as the sound of many waters.

Many… all one beautiful river of life, the Bride; one beautiful tabernacle, one beautiful sanctuary,  one beautiful temple, one beautiful body, all Lord, made up of the divine elect, and knowing that which is born of God cannot sin, no way, because the seed remaineth in him. Species don’t change; hallelujah!

No, they cannot become us and we cannot become them. By the Grace of God we can become Lord, what you predestinated for us and we will become what You predestinated. And You Yourself know everyone, You called all the sheep by name like the stars, You put them out at night and bring them in the morning; so to speak.

You go before us, all of these things preordained and we a part of the predestination.

Lord, heal the sick amongst us because that’s their heritage. Spread Your healing wings over everyone here because that’s immortality.

Rise upon us, oh God, we pray, in a way that we can… we can comprehend because You did it already, but I mean Lord, let our spirits reach out this morning to You and our souls rejoice in God our Savior, as we understand the same hovering that Mary understood, when her spirit rejoiced in God the Savior, knowing she would bring forth that One, knowing there’s a Bride going to bring him down to Earth.

How marvelous it is, because He wouldn’t come without us and we will not come without Him.

So Lord, our whole hope is bound up in You today and we appreciate it and we’re glad that it is, the foundation of God standing sure, having this seal You know who are yours, Lord; we don’t have to worry about it, guess about it, fuss about it, fret about it, anything Lord, we just need to realize just what the prophet said, that starting the seed of the entire Bible; serpent seed to the prophet in the latter rain, that former rain prophet bringing us the truth.

Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God be all power and honor and glory through Jesus Christ our Savior, Amen.

‘Take the Name of Jesus with you.’
