Ephesians #05a

Heavenly Father, we thank You tonight that this is becoming more and more real, and more and more settled in our hearts and in our minds that Jesus is here. That there is a Presence here that is not in the sense as It once was a minute form, that Spirit in each one, but now the Logos Himself here revealing God. And declaring Himself to be the full manifestation, in the fullness as ever He was which is wonderful, and we’re grateful for it.

And we thank You that it has come to the place that now we do believe. Because we are passing rapidly from the realm of faith to the realm of knowledge, which is not only fine in the mechanical, but is getting deep into the spiritual for which we are eternally grateful.

Now, Father, calm us all down with the rest of the Seventh Seal, and the relaxation that lies there under, and exposed to our view at this time that we may meditate upon Your Word, and may It be real to us.

May It come right, O God, so that It will be not just inspirational, but foundational, and completely edifying to the purpose to which It was given. So, we consecrate ourselves now at this moment to the Word in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Now, certainly nice to be here with you tonight, and I don’t know that we’ll have the Table of the Lord every Saturday night instead of Sunday. But you know, it is certainly Scriptural that the sun should be down. It should be dark when that commemoration is celebrated amongst us.

So if we do not set the time back later on Sunday, once a month it is certainly good to come together at least on a Saturday and there’s no definitive need as far as I know to put it on the commemoration of the Lord’s Resurrection.

Although, that’s fine, perhaps it might even be better than on Saturday night. But we know the Lord did not die on either Saturday, or Sunday. Within the three days would put it no doubt on the Friday afternoon that He died.

Now, we’re going to be continuing tonight on Ephesians 1:15-23, and recap or re-teaching… put something across to the people there concerning the Message. And they were those who had contact with Brother Branham, or at least had heard his Messages.

And I remember, one man there was familiar with the English language, maybe not the way I spoke it, but he was familiar with it. And the interpreter was doing pretty good because he was very familiar also as many people are in Holland.

And I remember trying to get a certain thing across concerning the Rapture, and this one man who understood English, perhaps not as well as the interpreter, he kept shaking his head and saying, “No.”

And I was doing my best to put it in many different ways, and finally the interpreter said, “Aw, forget it.”

And I said, “No.”

And I tried one more time then the man broke out in a big smile. He finally got it. Well, it just was that I wasn’t able to reach him on the level that he was in the English language which was nowhere near proficient as mine, because mine is highly proficient when I really care to use it.

And so what I’m saying tonight is that if we are looking at a certain subject which we are, and we’re studying that subject, I will start out with seeing something; and I’ll teach it, I’m not afraid to teach it. And I’ll be honest, I’ve said it before, I know I’m not getting it quite right.

That doesn’t bother me at all, because the Word always corrects the error. I go back and I re-teach it. And something slants in and I get a little thing out of the way. Maybe as many as five different, or six different times.

Or maybe, up to three years. I’ve waited three years to five years to get a thing just right. And then I say, “I’m satisfied, I got it just the way I want it.”

Well, that’s what we’re doing with this subject of the Presence of the Lord, and dealing with Scripture that is very strong in this doctrine and looking at each facet I try to take as much as I can find in all the Scripture concerning every phrase, and sometimes every word, in order to give myself and you the best understanding possible.

So that we’re constantly walking with a familiar air and spirit in this subject. So, that’s why we’re going over it again tonight.

Now, I’m reading.

So, we’re looking at the title of this Spirit. This one particular title: ‘The Spirit of Wisdom’. Now it’s positively understood by us here who believe this Message, that this Spirit that comes into the Church and reveals Himself has to be the Logos. For It is the Logos that reveals God.

Now the Scriptures says that, “In the beginning was the Logos. The Logos was with God. The Logos was God.” And then It says, “The Logos became flesh.” And then It says, “The only begotten, (that is the Logos,) Who is in the bosom of the Father, He has revealed Him.”

So, It is the Logos. That makes that Spirit of which we speak the Spirit of God. That’s another appellation, or Holy Spirit, or Christ. It is the same One, dealing with us by expressing Himself which is actually a revelation of Himself.

Because the thing expressed must bring into view the thing itself. As we’ve already quoted in John, we go back to John 1, concerning what we are dealing with.

Now, that’s absolutely taking us to,

So, we’re dealing with the familiar Spirit of God in the Scripture. Then It says, “And that One,” from Genesis 1, and so on…

So, this is what we are looking at.

All right, also, we go a little further so that we might understand how this is done. How God is brought into view, or delineated, or expressed.

Now with that… now keep that in mind what we read. Now we go to the Book of Galatians 1:11-24, and we bring It more up to date.

He said, “What I’m telling you, Christ taught me and you can take It, or leave It, Christ taught me.”

Now notice, though time lapsed of a sinful living condition to the day when he is redeemed.

Now, in Ephesians 4, watch this carefully, which I believe speaks entirely of this hour when the Holy Spirit… visits the Church to bring us to that perfect measure, that stature, when it’s all done. Beginning is verse 20.

Now, It mentions here the wholesome truth which was in Jesus that the Holy Spirit brought. And Paul says, “You have been taught by Christ.” And he’s already told them in Galatians that what he taught them was what God taught him. So therefore, if they heard Paul, they heard Christ.

Now, compare this with 1 Corinthians 2:1-5, and you’ll get the picture beautifully.

Now, you notice he is giving what is here the oracular account, or the account of the oracular word, (like an oracle of God,) given to him. Just Word by Word. Then in 11 to 14.

Now, what’s he talking about? “When I came to you brethren, I came not with excellency of speech, but I was in fear and trembling. And my speech and preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of Spirit and power.

That your faith should not stand with men, but in the power of God.” Now, he tells you that.

Now, you notice in here that Paul is not laying the emphasis on the individuals who are baptized with the Holy Ghost, or born again, and able to receive the Word of God, which indeed is in there. But he is actually emphasizing the fact of how the Word of God came to him which he delivered to them.

Now, for years, I have taken the non scriptural, non spiritual attitude of John 14, and also 16. And also 1 Corinthians 2 here, concerning the fact that if a man is full of the Holy Ghost he is able to receive a revelation from God.

That is only partial, and a partial truth is a lie. He cannot receive a revelation from God, except second handed.

For Paul said, “If any man think himself to be a prophet or spiritual full of the Holy Ghost, let him acknowledge the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.”

And here we see the scriptural understanding of how a revelation from the Logos comes to the Church, it’s got to come through somebody, not the church, but a part of the Church. The Church will be heirs to whatever person, or whatever measure is designated to deal with the Logos.

Now, no man can deny that this is exactly God’s Own unchanging way of expressing Himself, or revealing Himself, or making Himself known to the people. God coming into view as to what may be known of Him.

In other words, God has a very special way of making Himself known. First of all, to him who will be the one who makes known, God to the people. Because God does not deal with the people per se. Let’s trace that out. Now remember, Brother Branham was very strong on this. And we’re going to be very strong on this tonight.

Exodus 3:1. This is a long study tonight maybe.

Now, It tells you right here that God appeared out of a flame that was in a bush that didn’t burn. Now, that’s how God appeared. It was a physical attribute that God had made for Himself and He put It in that bush.

Now, if you can’t pick something now tonight, you don’t know this Message. You’re way off in never-never land. Get with it. I’m just telling you flat. By now you people should be perceptive to pick these things up just I pick them up here in the Word. I’m seeing a direct parallel to this hour.

For God said, “I will do something.” But didn’t tell him how’s He’s going to do it. You hear what I said? I don’t mean to be rough, but you know I’ve got to shout and blast off if I get something like this. You know, if you all sat up around me I wouldn’t be so rough with you maybe.

I’m never mean to anybody face to face, unless you deserve it. But when you sit there, I blast you. And I don’t mean to blast you as a people. I blast what you call a principle. But can’t you see this, what is going on?

The unchanging God, with the unchanging ways which we’ll go more and more into it. And of the time of oppression, you think you’re going to get out of here before a squeeze? I’ve got news for you, cream-puff, you better get used to it.

Now,

Deuteronomy 18:15. Now we’re leading up to how it’s done.

Now, It doesn’t tell you the full requirement there. Later on It says utter destruction.

Now, they can tell you a hundred and one other things and they’ll mess you up for your life. That’s what’s false prophets are all about in the last day, right here. They don’t have ‘Thus saith the Lord’. They have no proof of their authenticity, or their authority.

But they conger up their own, and in the minds of the people this is accepted, because they see a phenomena. But you’re warned of that in chapter 15. “When a man comes with a sign or a wonder and is genuine, and he takes you away, (See?) that man should be destroyed.”

Let’s go back to the Book of Acts 26:12. And we’re going to go full circle now. Full circle from burning bush right back to the burning bush.

Now, with this understanding how God brings Himself into view, or expresses, or reveals Himself. And we have seen It through the Scripture, so that It follows right to this present hour.

Thus Revelation 10:1-7 comes as no surprise. For there we see the same Logos come down.

And It says, right here then at the time of the Logos, and there must be a special purpose for Him there will be a prophet, and this is what we’re talking about. How the Word of God comes, somebody has got to bring It. Somebody’s got to bring It from God Himself in order to inform the Church, and if the Church is truly born again.

Now we know every church has got three kinds of believers: make believers, believers, and unbelievers.

Now, let us say there was a vast field or a great gathering, a congregation of all the three types and stood there before God’s ordained messenger of the hour; the believers would believe absolutely, because they’re full of the Holy Ghost, and they would take what the messenger said, because they know how God operates and how He works.

The trouble is, people just think they know how God operates and how he works. But they don’t believe that He does.

Now, as I said: Thus Revelation 10:1-7 comes as no surprise, and certainly fulfills Hebrews 12:25-29.

That’s when the cup of iniquity is absolutely filled up. And that hour comes when there is a juncture, then God Himself must speak from heaven.

Now, you can say want you want, and I know that the people are confused, because It says in Hebrews 1, that God speaks in the Son, so therefore, they say, “The Son is now the third person of the Trinity, or He’s something up there, sitting there and He can’t talk anymore.” Hogwash!

God never did speak per se in a human vessel, it was God in the human vessel. See? Now He speaketh.

That’s right. The heavens weren’t reeling and rolling back in those days. They’re going to. Because after this speaking comes the Great Tribulation. You follow me? Where does that take you in your mind right away? Matthew 24, right? Luke 17, right? What are we talking about? ‘Parousia’, the Logos. See? Now:

So, you’ve got God speaking. You’ve got the Logos. You’ve got the tribulation. You’ve got the end of the tribulation, God dealing in fire. Where does that put you? Puts you right back. “What will be the sign of Your Presence?” All right. We see it.

Now, Ephesians 1:17-18. We go back and look at It.

This is categorically a prophetic promise previous to the Resurrection and Rapture, that the Logos will come into the Church for the purpose of two-fold enlightenment, which will bring the personal wisdom, and personal knowledge of God to the Church.

Now, verses 19 and 21 prove that this is prior to the Resurrection and therefore the Rapture. Now he says, “Not only will the Spirit come, that’s the thing to come with revelation, but:”

So now, you connect the Scripture together. Revelation 10:1-7. Hebrews 12:25-29. Matthew 24:3,4,5, – 23-26. And now you combine this. And you see positively the Logos comes reveals Himself, causes a Resurrection.

Causes a Rapture. Brings on the Tribulation. Brings on the final judgment and the earth is burnt. Now you can’t get away from it. You don’t have to know much about eschatology to figure that one.

Now, this is prior to the Resurrection. And also 1 Corinthians 13:9-12 demands it.

Now, just a minute. Just a minute. Who prophesies in part? Some little gifted person in the church gets up and says, “Praise the Lord, there’s going to be an earthquake.” Well, he might not even say that. He might be more animated, more to the point. “Hallelujah, bless God, I see an earthquake coming soon!” Maybe it comes. That’s not what he’s talking about.

Paul talks at every single prophet had a part of the gospel that he was responsible for. The Book written in sixteen hundred years by forty different authors. All full of the Holy Ghost in writing that which pertains to that very hour. Now, he said:

Seven Church Ages with seven distinct revelations. Seven periods of history it’s over! That’s the Seventh Church Age messenger. Hold your finger there.

Let me go back and show It to you.

If it’s going to be finished, it has got to have been done in parts. Right? Certainly, it has got to have been done in parts. Because the finishing is way down with the Seventh Church Age messenger.

It’s in part’s. God adding the Spirit. It’s in part’s. God adding the Word. It’s in part’s. It’s going to be finished. What God had declared. Now, perfect is come. The completed. The fullness.

Now, as Brother Branham said, “Who is perfect but God. And what is God but that Word.” And that is absolutely true in this hour. The Logos Himself comes in order to reveal, and to bring about that which is at this very hour that we’re looking at.

Now watch: In other words, he’s talking about full maturity, and you do not indulge in what was formerly to those Seven Church Ages, but you’re walking in a new light, which is not a new light, apart from that light which is found through those Ages. But it is the fullness of it.

In other words, the revelation is complete and in depth. And when you look at the picture that man is going to become immortal, what kind of a thing is it that God is doing in this hour? Well, certainly something He couldn’t do in any other hour.

Now, that categorically says at the last time, at the last day that God will prove to you that He knows you and can read you like a book without opening the covers, because He knows what’s in the covers. And at the same time It says you’ll know God reciprocally.

“The people shall know their God and do exploits, and He shall have one name.” There’s lots of Old Testament Scripture on this, but I’m not going into it, because it’ll make the message far too long.

All right. 1 Corinthians 9 demands it, because there is no way that a revelation can come to the Church outside of the predestinated way that God has determined to bring it. And He says at the end time, He admonishes us something that the people have never thought of, nor believe what happened, that the Logos would come again as He came to Paul.

Now that’s the thing that’s a mystery here in that Presence.

I’ll try to show you something a little later on, and if God helps me. I don’t know if He’ll help me or not, but I’m praying He will, then I can show you what’s in my mind and my heart and you’ll understand. But it’s terribly hard to express it, unless the Holy Ghost helps me.

In my office I can sit there and I can know it. Here it’s a different story. Now you follow me so far?

All right, listen: It is the wisdom of God, for this is the Spirit of God. He will reveal the things of God. That’s what is said what He will do. Now, that doesn’t mean that He’s going to reveal God, that is in another verse. This is ‘the things of God’. See? And It tells you only the Holy Ghost filled ones will get it.

Now, this should give us an understanding of what God’s wisdom is, or is like. Now, the word in the Greek is ‘sophia’. Now listen: It is definitely a product of the mind. Now It says here, “A spirit of wisdom.” Now It doesn’t say It’s a wise spirit but that’s true.

It says, “It’s a spirit of wisdom.” In other words, that life which lies within that which is wisdom. Now, just hold it there, and I’ll get back to it later.

Now, it is definitely a product of the mind, and don’t miss that. Quickly realize that wisdom is issuing forth amongst us from the mind of God and we are now privy to omniscience which contains foreknowledge. We have never been allowed to know so clear and fully the secret things as now.

Now that’s Scripture, because it’s a fullness of revelation. And if you don’t know more now that you’re thirty and forty years old then when you were a kid of sixteen, you’re nuts, spiritually speaking. You’re mentally delinquent. You’ve wasted your life.

Could the Spirit of God coming up in the Church revealing Himself now be delinquent, that he cannot reveal Himself more than He ever did? In this hour, I care not what anybody says about the first Church Age. We are the first Church Age restored, or grafted back to come to this fullness and we don’t even read the New Testament, except we read It for this moment.

You do not read It down the road. You do not read It as though It were back there two thousand years ago, you read It as though It were written for this hour, because the Spirit of God is revealing, the Logos is revealing what He wrote two thousand years ago.

Therefore, It is for today, and is better than ever, because we’ve got history to go by. I’ll bring it up later too.

Now, It is amongst us taking us step by step, this Spirit of the mind of God the omniscience, the knowledge. That which resides in Him. That very Life of It, motivating factor, revealing factor. That’s what It is. It’s here amongst us taking us step by step.

Now, oh, we’re going to get a beautiful portion of Scripture here. This is back in Isaiah 28:5, and this is a tremendous Scripture. I’d like to read the whole chapter, but I’m not going to do it.

We’ll get into that when I show you the name.

In other words, they don’t have a definitive true revelation from God. And they’ve got their theology and their stimulation from their creeds and their dogmas, their organizations, their hierarchy. And they spew it out and makes a table full of vomit. Now:

In other words, Pentecostal dogma and creeds. And gifts and charismatic movements have no part in this, because this is not the hour of gifts. It’s the hour of God. Not God giving something and doing something apart from Himself, but God Himself. Sure, there’s a difference.

All right, now listen:

Yes! In the hand writing on the wall as in the days of Belshazzar, judgment, judgment, judgment. But they took it to be a sign. “We’ve got God. We speak in tongues. Hallelujah.” that’s from the pit of hell.

Why should a man hear stammering tongues, go away saying, “You’re a bunch of fools.” They only hear that which they understand, because understanding is hearing.

Let me tell you something flat. When the prophet came with the Word of God, that’s when gifts flourished. Not the gifts flourished, watch the Word flourished more and more for what was:

And that’s exactly right! Many false prophets with signs and wonders does deceive everybody but the Elect.

God laying the foundation all over again. Going to get a Bride out of here. Yes, because the rest went down to death, but these are going into life. All right.

Brother Branham said, “I’d sooner have my intestines open up with sulfuric acid poured in there, and everything that the Roman Catholics are supposed to have said to do to the Protestants, (he said,) than have one minute in the Great Tribulation.”

You do what you want about it. People think it’s too big of a price to pay to learn these things. Then stay home. I’m not talking to you. Send the tapes out for God’s sake around the world, any place else you want, I care less. A little petty excuse anything at all. Get away from the Word. Get away from the Word. See where your refuge lies.

“Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

Let me hid myself in Thee.

Let the water and the blood,

From Thy wounded side that flowed…”

That’s where it’s going to be brother/sister, where the Word is. Because the bleeding Word which is now the risen Word’s amongst us. Sure.

Sin is overflowing. Immorality, everything’s overflowing. There’ll be no place to hide from the wrath of Almighty God. Listen, that’s this hour brother/sister.

All right, wisdom. That’s what we’re talking about right here. That Spirit. You talk about mighty salvation wrought in the arm of God made bare. But they crucified Him the second time. Same as the first time.

All right. Wisdom is the product of the mind. Thus it must be predominately as it were, theoretical as opposed to practical when taken in a certain definitive, or descriptive sense. Now it isn’t theoretical as though it’s simply a theory. And it isn’t something practical as though it’s simply practical.

I said those terms are used in a certain sense, [The recording jumps back to paragraph 24 due to the turning of the tape], but not in a full sense. It is not that it is not inspirited, or living thought. That’s why I said theoretical, is not inspirited of living thought and the Word is. But we’re using terms to help ourselves perhaps.

It is not that per se, but to get an understanding at this point. Let us call it original thought that was on the Blueprint, or in the Blueprint in the beginning. And if It has not been activated already, It will be at some time and we are receiving It and a revelation of It.

Now, we’re looking at it. This is what we’re looking at, this product of the mind is that which is coming forth from omniscience and it would certainly have to do with foreknowledge, because that’s what it’s all about as concerning you and me.

Now, let’s just begin recouping as I went and showed you Moses, back to there in Exodus. And then took you on to show you how the Spirit would move in order to bring the people the things of God.

Now, we’ll get a Scriptural illustration of what we’re looking at. Moses wrote the first five Books of the Bible. That’s true. But until Moses’ spiritual ministry blossomed, God by His Spirit had been already working wondrously, but there was no written record.

So the Spirit of wisdom of God begins to reveal the plan of God which has already been activated and already covered maybe twenty five hundred years before Moses. You follow what I said?

Moses wasn’t the beginning of the plan. It was already going on. Moses wasn’t the beginning of the Word as we know It in Genesis. No way. It was there hundreds of years ahead of him. But he got the revelation of what it all was. You follow me?

Then it reveals from that point when He goes to Moses in the bush, reveals from that point on now, on about the same purpose of God, getting Israel into the land of Promise and rest. Now, God had already said four hundred years before, “I’m going to get you out of there.”

Nobody knew about it. Or word of mouth, nobody really understood. It revealed the hour and the Word of God. It was God amongst the people, and they knowing Him by the Word. Now, that’s what happened historically to Moses.

So wisdom is correct insight, or revelation into the true nature of the things of God, that’s what it is, it’s a correct insight, wisdom is, or revelation, that’s how it comes, (by revelation,) into the true nature of the things of God.

We recognize this as the foreknowledge which is the wisdom of God, because it has to have been there for it to be spoken of.

And this wisdom of God is lying in wait, (now listen,) this wisdom of God, (that’s why I said theoretical,) but It’s not just theoretical It’s Blueprint. Living dynamic blue print. But it’s lying there as a determiner of every action to be taken with a view to what already lies in the plan.

Now that’s wisdom. It tells you what God intends to do. And the God Spirit in that Word will do it. See?

It’s an activator. It’s a determiner of what lies within the plan. Are you getting understand now what Logos is? It’s not just the thought expressed, but the thought is in the expression. See? Spirit of wisdom. Wisdom doesn’t stand without a Spirit. It’s inspirited, living what lies within It. The Spirit activates.

That’s God Himself. That’s why that Word is God. Do you follow me? See? You stick around. Everything gets clearer. It’s breaking clearer tonight, if you can only grasp what I’m saying. Because I’ve never said things like this before in my ministry.

Now, God by His Spirit revealed all His plans and works previous to Moses, (that hour) and brought it right up to Moses day. Now then, it was proven to be the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob Who was now giving His Own counsel or wisdom to Moses. Well, what spirit did we prove, is this Logos here doing this? Same thing.

Now, that counsel went on (that God gave Moses,) about fifteen hundred years up until Jesus. God was in Jesus, and Jesus by God’s Spirit went back and showed all that God had done by Moses and the prophets for fifteen hundred years that related to Him and His hour, as God did to Moses.

Do you follow me? No change in the pattern. No change.

Then after Jesus’ death and resurrection down came the Holy Spirit and It’s on the twelve apostles of which Paul was number twelve. And the Spirit revealed all the way back to Genesis and through the law, and also revealed in Jesus His day and Himself, and declared the wisdom and foreknowledge of God to the Gentiles.

For God had blinded Israel, and turned to the Gentiles. Now, you’ve got this Spirit going all the way back. Paul goes right through Genesis, Exodus takes the whole Bible right down. But I want to cue you in.

You tell me one New Testament authority outside of Jesus who said one word about Elijah. Just sit and think about it. Don’t think very long, we want to go on now.

Now, Holy Ghost comes down. Now today, It says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, and forever.” The Logos has to come amongst us to get us ready to cross over into the Millennium and turn the gospel back to Israel.

There’s a change. Something different is going to happen. As Brother Branham said, “We’re turning a corner.” Only a prophet can turn a corner. Not true. Only God can turn a corner, and a prophet will be there. A great change is in the making, and even time is running out. Revelation 10:7.

So, again we have the Spirit of wisdom Who reveals the great plan and mind of God, and goes back about two thousand years, and even more, as Brother Branham went all the way back to Genesis, even four thousand years back. Marriage and divorce in the beginning it was not so.

Serpent seed, the whole thing planting the seed of the entire Bible. He shows us what He has done by the Church Ages revealed and the Seals, and now through the Seals the revelation, Spirit of wisdom, what He is starting to do to wind it all up and reveal what is present and also ahead for the Bride.

Aw, someone could say, “Well hey, we got it here.”

No, you haven’t, because there’s a change. And there’s a promise of the Spirit Himself to come before the Resurrection. Then don’t smart off. Now, I talk hard this way, because I don’t want anybody under the sound of my voice to ever have second thoughts like some people do.

“Oh, could it be different?” No, it could not be different! No way! This is what it says, “If you don’t like it, that’s fine. You weren’t meant to like it in the first place.”

Now, I preach hard, I preach tough. I’m sorry. But look it, I taught school long enough when my language was perfect and my ways were commendable to know this: you can make them laugh, they’ll remember.

You can repeat it, (I can’t be here forever,) or you can hit them so hard they don’t dare forget. I prefer to hit you so hard, you don’t dare forget but I have my doubts.

It is a juncture, God has to have a prophet. But what good is a prophet without God? Nothing! Both have to be here. Both are here, wisdom of God so requires it. So, we are at the hour of,

All right, It tells you right here, there is going to be a revival break out. A fresh breath blow across the land revival-wise. It was a healing revival. It was also charismatic, which we did not particularly need, but it is there.

And It says, “At that time He is going to send Jesus Christ back to earth.” God is going to do it. But he said even before that, “after the revival there will be a period of restoration of the Word of Almighty God.”

I ask you, who’s going to do it? What theologian? What pope? What congress? What elder? What synod? What hierarchy? What seminary? None! No way! No way.

Because It says at this hour before He comes to take over this earth. The heaven’s got to hold Him back. He’s got to sit there until there’s a complete restoration.

God has had His final say, and everything is now restored to where He can have a Rapture on the grounds, or a Resurrection on the grounds that He has set forth in His Word, or He can do at the turn of this juncture, at this age, what He wishes to do, for something must be done.

For He Himself has already said, “If Elijah doesn’t come I’ll simply destroy the whole thing.”

Like He said to Moses, “Moses, stand aside, I’ll kill them and I’ll start over.”

And Moses said, “I can’t step aside, You’ll have to take me with them. Because they’re part of me and I’m part of them.”

Now, do you think for one minute that God, Jesus Christ, is going to stand aside, let the wrath of God fall upon a church that is absolutely out of the way there isn’t any hope for? Because you can talk about the Blood all you want and being sealed and on.

I’ll show you that doesn’t work as time goes on. It ain’t going to work on this case, because you’re dealing with something different. See, people don’t want to believe that. They don’t want to believe in God juncture. They don’t want to do those things that are in the Scripture.

We’ll keep reading:

Now listen: Who’s going to restore? Elijah restores. Who’s going to be the prophet? God is His Own prophet. God does His Own speaking. How? In the Logos. How does He do it? He does it through a prophet. The sounding board, the Voice of One standing near. So He tells you Elijah is going to come.

During that period, Elijah must be manifested. He must be responsible for the Word which God Himself will bring. Even as Paul was responsible which God Himself brought. It does not change. I know the world says there’s no more prophets. The world is a bunch of liars.

Who cares about them? They’re like the weather prophets. For the more science they get, the lousier they tell the weather. I’m not kidding you. The lousier they tell the weather, the more the theologian’s know, the lousier they know the Bible. They get colder by degrees as Dr. Buckmann said.

Now listen, let’s watch this.

Restoration, or true history of the Word comes under Elijah, the restorer. Then notice 22.

As It says, “Remember Him that speaketh from heaven.” And that’s at that time, the earth is shaken down, the fire is consuming. That’s the same time here. Because when that Son comes from heaven to take His ministry and home upon the earth.

That is Revelations 19:6, when He comes in flames of fire, saints upon white horses and He’s just destroying the world as the atomic bombs crush everything; His Own sacred holy fire sweeps in, cleans away all the debris, all the atomic, affects every germ, every bug, every rotten thing under high heaven.

And the Saints come marching in. Praise God. You won’t need bug-zappers in those days. Hallelujah.

Yes, sir. Notice of that.

Now:

That was not Jesus in the day of His flesh, that is Jesus the Son of Man revealed, prophetic ministry. That is Christ Who is in the prophets, come on down. And when you turn Him down there is nothing but destruction.

That’s what we’ve shown you, absolutely the Presence here, then there comes the Resurrection. Then there comes the Rapture. Then there comes the Great Tribulation. Then there comes the final judgment after Armageddon. Then the world explodes as it were. Bride come on down take over.

Yea listen. Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after. Now listen: Samuel was a long time after Moses. So it’s not Moses this time doing it, it’s Elijah, the Spirit of God in Elijah being the historian.

Who is Samuel? He’s the great discerner. Not a Word prophet, but a discerner. Who was the Word prophet? Moses was just a spirit, but Elijah’s doing it.

You get Moses and Elijah together, you’ve got every single thing you’ve ever needed. Because you get that Spirit that was in the two of them, and you’ve got the Word in Its perfection delivered. And you’ve got the manifestation that proves who, what, how, where, and the rest of it.

Four spirits there at that time whether you want to believe it or not; Jesus, Moses, Elijah, Samuel, all manifesting. They have spoken of these days. In other words, they’ve foretold them, each one of those was there indicating something to the future.

You go back, and you’ll see every single prophet pointed to this hour. Even Balaam did, and he’s a phony. Yes sir. You think it wouldn’t take a prophet? Okay.

Now, isn’t that exactly this Spirit, or Logos in Ephesians 1:17-18? Because it is based on John 1:1-3, 14 and 18, no doubt about it.

Proving It was Elohim, the final great creator that which came out of Him, doing those creative acts manifesting.

Now we find what is it manifested in flesh. Now he goes back to the bosom of the Father. Now, how does He get manifested in flesh again? By coming down, the Logos, and speaking through the individual Logos going into Him.

Him to Logos, put it anyway you want, I care less, and I care little as long as it is done. God was in the prophets, it’s good enough for me. Logos is in William Branham good enough for me. And Moses went into the Logos, that takes both of it. There’s your Scripture all the way through. God manifested in human flesh.

Oh, and the people don’t like that. But you like to think you will be. Well, come on. Don’t you believe in the Resurrection and the Rapture? Well fap, if you can’t see you’re going to be manifested in a… God manifested in human flesh. Him manifested in you, you don’t know your Bible.

What do you think gives you the glorified body? Not your seed. Not human seed. God’s seed! Still love me? What’s the difference, who cares? If I just scare you that’s better still.

Now listen: one cannot doubt that this wisdom is actually the foreknowledge of God, or His infinite knowledge known as omniscience. Now listen carefully: all knowledge lies in God. He is in Himself a reservoir of knowledge, and it is infinite, as It says in,

Therefore, God Himself is in His thoughts. And when those thoughts are expressed, it is God expressed. So therefore when you hear the Word of a prophet, you are seeing God. That’s what It said, “For the Lord appeared again to Samuel in Shiloh, for the Lord revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the Word of the Lord.”

That is why Jesus is the Logos, and It’s called Christ the wisdom of God. Same thing right today. He is here expressing the wisdom of God, right now. Also remember, that Spirit is life and breath. That is exactly what It is. That Spirit in the Bible of wisdom is life and breath.

So, this Spirit is the very life, or begetter of wisdom, the Logos of God. See? Every way we prove it. So we look at Scripture concerning this wisdom, and as we do, we admonish again to remember that Logos when It is not specifically Jesus the man of flesh.

It cannot have an impact on the church unless It comes by God’s ordained way, a messenger. No way can the Logos get to the Church outside of a messenger. Oh I know, people like to think it can.

I’ve seen sweet dear old brother’s that talk about Brother Branham. “Oh, I knew Brother Branham. But you see Brother Vayle, God has given me a vision.”

I could just tear my hair and say, “For God’s sake, shut up man and listen to me. I’ve had visions just like I’m looking at you.” And I couldn’t even dare to spit on William Branham’s shoes to shine them. When it comes to spiritual integrity what he had before God and what I’ve got.

I’m so sick and tired of dear dotty old grandfathers, and these sleazy little kids that run around. I’m sick and tired of the whole thing. They didn’t know stature when they saw it, and they care less. But they talk about themselves.

My God, I prophesied, things come right to pass. I’ve got proof. You know I’ll tell you things out of the blue they come to pass and I’m not even prophesying. I have nothing that has anything to do with this. Nothing, nothing, nothing. Except to listen.

No, God’s ordained way as a Messenger, and that messenger of the end-time will be a prophet apostle as was Paul. We saw that in Revelation 10:1-7, for the same Pillar of Fire comes down. What for? For the same revelation to change the juncture, bring it on. Another lap we’re hitting, the Message goes back to the Jews.

The Millennium’s coming on, times running out. Why my heavens, there has to be something like this happen. For now we see the agent’s. The agent’s, Logos and prophet. Now we must discern the way in which the innate knowledge of that Spirit of wisdom comes to us.

It is as we said in 1 Corinthians 1:14. Now we’ve read It. We don’t have to go over It again. But we do. We will read what I quoted to you a while ago. Where Paul says in,

Now he said, “Let’s get this flat: did you provide the Word of God, or was It provided for you? Now, based upon 1 Corinthians 2, there is no way they could of provided the Word for themselves anymore than those disciples could of broken those two loaves and fishes, and then given to the multitudes.

No way, it took God to do it. As Brother Branham said, “When He stood there by the grave side of Lazarus and wept, He was a man. But when He cried ‘Lazarus, come forth’, He was more than a man.”

That wasn’t a man at all, let’s face it. It was God used a voice of a man. All right.

Which things we speak, Paul and the editorial we, not in words which men would utter by their wisdom, but God gave His Own Word’s.

So, now we recognize the agent’s, and we recognize the process of transference. The agents are Logos and a prophet. And transference is the Logos talking to the prophet, and the prophet talking to us.

Now, we look into what is transferred as per revelation. Let the mind of God as the wisdom of the hour be exposed. This is the age for it. For Alpha is Omega. And we go back to the original of,

Now, Paul says here, “There’s no man living can judge him. But he’ll stand back and judge everybody else. No way!

As Brother Branham said, “The prophet cannot be judged.” Why? Because he’s proven to be a prophet. Now he says, “I’ve got the mind of Christ.” Yep!

Listen. We go to,

And oh how the church needs this: for she has fallen from 2 Corinthians 11. Now here where people don’t understand you’ve left your first love. 2 Corinthians 11. In the first age she was a fallen woman.

Yes sir, a fallen bride, espoused. But she broke her marriage vows. He didn’t get back to her quick enough, so she got fooling around with somebody. The old seducer. Here’s what he did.

For what It means I don’t know, except It just means this one thing: they had a phony spirit. They had a phony Jesus. They had a phony gospel. Three in one phony, you can’t beat that. They had a corrupted Godhead. A corrupted gospel.

A corrupted worship. And she had come from a virgin of the Word to the depravity of Revelation 3:17-18. Now, that’s where she went. You can’t say she didn’t, because she did.

Now listen. Up here comes this messenger to the Laodicean’s. He says to the messenger to the Laodicean church:

These are her creeds and her dogmas and her pagan worship. Any theologian, I don’t care where he comes from, understands that fornication, adultery speaks of the introduction of paganism into Christianity.

The same as a bastard child, was when a Hebrew man who took a woman who is not a Hebrew and had a child by her; that child was a bastard.

The original bastard comes from that. There’s the mess she’s in. He had a counsel for her. And that counsel was repent in verse 19. And repent means ‘have a change of mind’, get back to where you were. How are you going to get back? Who’s going to tell us?

Billy Graham himself admitted there’s one thing that has not been restored. The Word has not been restored. Billy Graham knows that. Why doesn’t he tell people? You know why? He’s scared to.

They’ll say, “Why you restore it.” He’d call a great synod wouldn’t he? He’s trying to restore it and hasn’t got a university? Not a university. Hogwash. Oh, brother/sister, I’d sooner go to a barnyard.

Okay, let’s go a little deeper now in this subject considering wisdom. We go to Ephesians 1:8. This may sound a bit cluttered, don’t worry, it’ll all come together. If it doesn’t, don’t matter, you’ll get it later. I’m just happy I’m getting part of It myself.

Now, without reading the context we look at two words only for a moment.

One: Wisdom.

Two: Prudence. We compare them.

Wisdom: is the body of thought, or insight resident and latent within the Spirit. Such body of thought being the immutable counsel of God. Which He counsel within and by Himself from which all must spring forth in its proper order.

That’s what It said. I read that over here in Romans. Everything in Him. Everything in its place. Everything right.

All right. Prudence is ‘Phro-ne-sis’. The root word is ‘phrone’ which means ‘mind’. Phro-ne-sis is right use of the mind. Prudence.

So verse 8 lets us know that God has literally overflowed toward us. He reserved not one iota of His capacity, but expended His entire recourses of omniscience, and expended it in accordance with that same concept so there’d be no failure and it all being of God. In other words, the life of omniscience is omnipotence. Do you follow?

What it is. Prudence. This is wisdom. He said God overflowed toward us. He abounded toward us. Overflowed toward us in all wisdom. Reserved not one iota of His great capacity. His omniscience, you see? Then He expended it according to the plan. See?

Notice: Prudence. God moving in His Word within the frame-work of the Word. That’s why Brother Branham put the Church in order like Paul and said, “I don’t care what you do you’ve got to do it according to God.”

Listen: Cain was right according to the Bible. He took a first-fruit offering, but it was out of place. He should have had the blood offering first. The Bible said, “Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice.” If Abel’s offering was more excellent, Cain’s was excellent. Bible says so.

That’s like people say, and it’s only too true, “If you’ve got a very fine conscience you’ll never fit in this Message until you learn otherwise.” And by that, I mean this: You will say, I’m going to do right for the sake of right.” No such thing!

Proper motivation has got to go behind it. You’ve got to be led of God. Lots of things Jesus did didn’t look very right. Their rights was lead by God. Being right for the sake of right is not the answer. It’s just like here, wisdom, what good is it without prudence? Wisdom, what good is it without bringing it to pass? See? All right.

No wonder Brother Branham preached doing “Doing God a Service Apart from His Will”, and how true spiritual Church Order is a must for this hour. Not just gifts in a little room. But true spiritual order.

And that true spiritual order said, “Oh, for that spirit, sweet spirit of love to come amongst us until the gifts (as it were) are put on the shelf.”

People fuss this way and fuss that way about gifts. Forget it! Get bathed down before God, get the right spirit in you. Get the spirit where you want do something for somebody. Get the spirit where you’d love to do something for somebody.

Get the spiritual love to do something for somebody the way God ordains it. Not to say you can come back and say you’re a nice fellow. So what! Ain’t none of you nice. Look, I’m the dirtiest one of the works. At least I’ve got enough brains to admit it. Don’t pretend. Don’t pretend, we’re ninety nine percent phony.

Listen: you know old Bernard Shaw has had more rectitude than all of us put together? Went down the street with a fellow one day, (I forget who it was,) some great author like he was, (some dramatist, or somebody) and a crippled man sitting there and Shaw gave him a fairly good sum of money.

And the man commended Shaw. And he said, “Aw shut up, I did that for self gratification. I’m superior to the man.” He had more on the ball than most Christians. Most Christians you know… well, why belabor the point. Doing God a service [Inaudible].

Now, we go to the context, or the 8th verse is 3-12.

Now, I think we’ve read It slow enough, or at least you’ve absorbed It. That was the point. In these Scriptures we saw, there runs a parallel of wisdom and prudence. Two lines of revelation. One: the mind full of the foreknown saints and their destination. And two: how to get them there. Or how God’s going to do it.

In other words, the plan and the plan effective. Or the plan effected. However you put it, it’s right both ways. He tells what He has planned for them and then consistent with the plan He fulfills it. He tells how He fulfills it. The working of the plan is part of the plan, or the plan in action.

That’s Logos, just like It. Living Word. The motivation is love and grace. God is love, and therefore, full of grace. That’s natural. Love and grace bring forth wisdom and prudence.

Now, let’s go over that again. God had a great purpose in mind. This is wisdom. The Blueprint taken from His omniscience, His perfect thinking. He planned to have sons with par positions, complementary to them and Himself. That’s wisdom.

He set about doing it, (now listen,) He set about doing It up to a point where He could bring it all up to a Resurrection. You get that? That’s what it is. He sets it up to the point of a Resurrection. This becomes the crucial of all history. I don’t care what anybody says. This is the crucial part. This is prudence.

You can see that is so in,

I said he brought It all up to the point of the Resurrection. Because that’s where it breaks, or fails to break. That’s where all the rest goes, or it won’t go.

Now, we come to a great mystery, a great revelation, a great aspect of wisdom (the theatrical if you like, or the Blueprint,) and for that the Spirit of wisdom which reveals the mind of God for this hour comes on the scene. Now look, I’ve made a statement. I made a blank statement.

I said we’ve come to a great mystery, a great revelation, a great aspect of wisdom. For that Spirit of wisdom which reveals the mind of God for this hour comes on the scene. And It said, “I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ may give you the Spirit of wisdom.”

Now, there’s a mystery right there. There’s got to be, because anybody says, “Hey look, I want to tell you something. I got the Holy Ghost, I’ve got it made.” Now catch what I’m saying. It is,

Now, that ends this picture. But, a mystery pops up. And that mystery is a Spirit of wisdom and revelation that’s got to come on the scene before the Resurrection.

Now listen:

But, that does not mean that the bodies will automatically rise and the living be changed at just any point. No way. It just guarantees it is to happen. That’s all. That’s all. That’s what the guarantee’s good for.

Guarantee the pump won’t break, but the car will fall apart. I’m talking about the tire pump, you never use it. That’s what it is, just a guarantee.

The Resurrection and the change of the living takes God to do it. Not just having the Holy Ghost. Not just being seen, takes God. And God is going to do it and does it, and then that is living Word, the wisdom, the prudence.

God revealing and fulfilling His Word for the hour of the Resurrection and the change. Here we see the prudence of God, sealing them in to receive what He has preached. But the same prudence becomes the wisdom of God, this Resurrection, something must happen.

In other words, we’re going now to the Blueprint. God revealing and fulfilling His Word for the hour of the Resurrection and the change. We need to know what God says about the Resurrection so It will happen.

God revealing and fulfilling His Word waiting for all these changes, resurrection, living changed, millennium, gospel to the Jews, tribulation, all of these things. Time running out. It’s all in there.

Now, let’s go over to Ephesians 1:15-18 again.

That the very thing of which we’re speaking now which is a mystery, which is a revelation. Which is something that has to happen at this point, or you don’t get this. Now I know people say, “Brother Vayle, don’t…” Don’t Brother Vayle me, “Except I send Elijah I just burn the whole thing up.” Drop dead, I believe the Bible.

Now, if you haven’t come that far brother/sister, it’s about time you smartened up and you better receive the Holy Ghost. Because, I’m going to tell you flat, that’s your trouble. Because you simply don’t believe God, and He says I’m going to have to send him.

Now, he’s not talking to the Jews there. No way. Because the Jews do go through the Great Tribulation, and the 144,000 die. That’s for the Gentiles. There’s a Jew/Gentile church.

Now:

That’s how he comes to know, lets you know that you’re a part of the Resurrection, because the same one standing there, and only God can do it, raise the dead.

Now, it took a revelation so you’ll be reborn of your status before God. Now, it’ll take a revelation before you’re reborn out of the earth, which earth we are. Now, I didn’t write the Book, I’m just telling you about it. You do what you want with it.

Go home confused and crying blubber, quit the whole thing, be my guest. I’ve got no trouble. God’s no fool, He said He’ll do it, He’ll do it. If he ain’t doing it now, He’ll do it later. Let’s get this flat: if William Branham wasn’t Elijah, there’s still one coming, and I’m getting in on it in this respect. I know a few things.

Whether it doesn’t end good or not, who cares? At least I’m ahead of some of you. As I’ve said before, “If this isn’t right, well great merciful heaven, we’re the closest.”

You say, “What does that count in the White Throne Judgment?” You bet it does. It’ll count plenty. I’ll count plenty.

Now listen. I’m trying to show you something here, those verses 15-18 are followed by 19 and 20 and detail the revelation of the Resurrection. The revelation of Him, the revelation of the Resurrection. Verses 15-18, speak of the presence of a spirit of revelation. Verses 19 and 20, is the Resurrection Itself. Now, hold on to your thinking now, do you follow me?

Now if Alpha… listen, at Alpha God raised the dead. Matthew 27:52-53, the dead bodies of the Saints come out of the grave when Jesus came out. Act 2:22-24, Peter says that God raised Jesus Christ. Now, that takes care of the Resurrection. Right? Alpha is Omega.

But, where has God ever changed the group of living to immortality? Where’s the Alpha for that? Haven’t got one. Thus we have to have a first time revelation or plan, or wisdom for it. There’s got to be something for it. There’s got to be something to produce it.

The Baptism with the Holy Ghost per se won’t do it. I’m saying per se. Without it you aint’ going to be part of it, I can tell you that much. But it’s not a per se, otherwise this wouldn’t be here.

And 1 John 3:2 says,

Now, he tells you there must be then the Spirit of wisdom and the revelation of the knowledge of Him that you’ve got to come to, to get your change. Now, the dead don’t need that. No way. But it’s got to be done by the same person.

So, a revelation has to proceed it. Then can come the implementation. Now, according to 1 John 3:2, the wisdom, or plan theoretical is the Presence and beholding that Presence. The plan in effect is the Presence Itself. It lays it out. It is the Seventh Seal of Revelation 10:1-7, pure and simple.

So, there’s a messenger and the Seventh Church Age is a prophet, and he has a visitation of Almighty God the Logos, that comes down in order to bring about a juncture. To bring about that which has never yet ever occurred, it’s going to take God Himself to intervene.

Why? Because nothing was done here in the first place. Nothing was done for it. I’ll prove it to you.

Paul said, “Behold I show you a mystery, we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.” And then he tells how that mystery takes place. It is through an inner in-vesture. It’s a vestment. And it’s a investiture. Like when the Bride is dressed in Her beautiful robe, she investiture as a Bride. See? Adorned for her husband.

Now, watch this: The prudence or implementation, (now watch,) the implementation, the prudence that brings you and me standing here into immortality is in Revelation 22:10-14.

Now therefore, between Revelation 10:4 and Revelation 22:10, the Book becomes unsealed. Now what happened at that time?

That is at that Appearing, the revealing, the Apokalupsis, when the Saints of God are blameless, justified, they cannot possibly be judged. I’m not going to hit what I’ve got in mind for this, this minute.

You come back on a Wednesday night about… every night and don’t miss the fourth one down the road. And I’ll just show you the whole thing lying out here.

Now listen:

Now listen. Notice, Revelation 22:14 right to the Tree of Life is not Revelation 2:7. No way! Let’s take a look at It.

That’s not that one. No sir. Revelation 22:10-14, is Revelation 10:1-7. Time runs out for the gospel. All things in conclusion.

Revelation 22:10-14, is also, (watch it now,) Philippians 3:10-11.

Watch the prudence. Watch how it’s done. Verse 20.

In other words, the Resurrection, though preformed by Him is fine. He could call from Heaven, but when you get this here, comes to the Saints living, He’s got to come down to do it. It says right here, coming from Heaven. Coming down to do it, see?

All right. Let’s keep reading, and Philippians 3:20-21 is 2 Corinthians 3:15-18. Now we’re used to this one. But let’s just keep moving awhile.

The first Age wasn’t sufficient to get there. The second portion couldn’t get you there. He wasn’t completely formed and coming up through the church, line upon line, precept upon precept, measure, measure. He was not. But at the end-time He is.

Now, by the Spirit you can go from glory to glory to the image of the Lord. Who’s the image of God? Jesus. Who’s in God’s image to begin with? We were. Adam. Eve broke it. She got the beast in there. He wasn’t made in the image of God. We’re beast. We’re part man, we’re animal.

We’re part God knows what. All the messed up thing. But He is different. He’s the Logos become flesh. We’re going to become the same thing. Now you see, He’s here so that we can behold Him, notice the same thing.

Now watch:

Every Scripture being fulfilled by Paul. Paul standing there saying, “I am handling life and death it’s in my power. Now he said:

Not the church. Paul! Church didn’t have it to give. And talk about the Catholic church, the Baptist, the Methodist. The church doesn’t have it. The Word, foreordained given by a man of this caliber.

Now he said, “All I’ve got is the Word in this vessel and God will do what I say, because God told me to say It.”

It tells you that. Paul said the same thing in Philippians.

And he says,

Now, it’s explained, here it is: the Spirit of wisdom and revelation has come into the Church to bring the Church into the Light of the revelation. The Light of the Truth of the Resurrection. Revealing the hour the Church is living in. Revealing the deep secrets of God, revealing God Himself.

Like Gabriel came to Daniel, so the Spirit comes into the Church. So there we see it, the great mystery of the hour, Christ here to raise the dead, but only after His revelation to the Bride. That’s it. That’s what it’s all about. His Appearing to the Bride that She may be ready for the great event.

Brother/sister, they without us cannot be made perfect. That is have a change to immortality. We are here for our share. And as they were guaranteed, so now are we. “For it is appointed unto man once to die, and after that the judgment.” True. That’s over there in Hebrews 9:27.

Maybe we ought to read something else there. “So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many, and unto them that’ll look for Him shall He be unveiled, shall God appear the second time without sin unto salvation.”

I look at that to mean this one thing, “It is appointed unto man once to die.” Everybody has to die. The Scripture distinctly says, “Even concerning the Holy Ghost.”

Let’s read It and prove what I said about Holy Ghost. It’s the Spirit that guaranteed to get you out of the grave. It didn’t tell anything more than that though. Because you’re going to make it. When?

It tells you, He’s got to be there to do it. But what about those living ones? I tell you, He’s going to appear this last time and there’ll be no sin in the picture at all. Men will stand here on this earth before they’re physically changed, they will stand there righteous, holy, perfect.

There’ll be no sin, they’ll be justified as they stand there to walk into eternal life. It will not be appointed unto them once to die for death will be swallowed. And who’s going to do it? There’s only one person can do it. God can say, “Stand back, you won’t touch one of them.”

The time of the Resurrection brother/sister, the time of the adoption. We’ll go into them another time. What does It say here, “Who dares lay any charges to God’s elect? Who dares bring me into court? Who dares lay a charge? There’s God that justifies.

At the Appearing in 1 Corinthians 1:8, It tells you we’ll be blameless. Which means not even a charge can be levied. I want to ask you, I’ve asked you many times, how could the Logos stand here without Jesus sitting there for you and me? No way.

No way, until we get to that place Jesus cannot leave the Throne which is now the Mercy Throne, He’s sitting with the Father. No way, no way. So what does it? The Logos comes down, and says, “I’m going to do it, I’m going to take over.”

There you are brother/sister, the requirements have been met by God Himself. So let us go to the Wedding Supper adorned as the Bride for Her Husband, because that is what this is all about at the end-time.

I didn’t want to sound like a Philadelphia lawyer, sometimes I can’t help looking into things which seems a little more intricate, than what maybe someone would say, “Well, I don’t think they should be that intricate.”

But brother/sister, there’s so many things in Scripture that unless you weigh deep as you possibly can with the help of God, you’ll bypass a thousand facets that’ll open up the mercy and grace of Almighty God.

So, I hope you begin to understand what we’re talking about. This must be in the Church or there cannot be a Resurrection. There cannot be a change in the Bride. There is no way. This is what God said. This is the Blueprint, and He’s told us the Blueprint.

Now, with what I’ve said tonight and so far in these messages, you begin to read and hear the sermons of Brother Branham preached and you will find the unsearchable riches that only an end time prophet could bring in those sermons.

And now when you break it down you can see all the more, and you can see why there’s the invisible union. You can see this, you can see that. You can see many things you couldn’t see before, because it’s broken down.

The Lord bless you. Remember we have Communion the Lord’s table. No closed communicants here. Everybody’s welcome. Everybody washes feet. Everybody takes the Supper of the Lord. Everybody is one. I do the best myself to manifest my vertical to the horizontal.

I have a gift in the Holy Ghost and I don’t claim anything else. And you understand, I can be a very terrible person, but you know, the gifts are without repentance. The gifts and callings.

Now, I take what I have, this is why I like these meetings. I like you to sit closer even. I like people to come in, because it inspires me to give you what lies within me from Him out into the horizontal. If you are not here and I cannot preach, I have nothing for anybody I become merely something locked up within me.

So, I’m glad you’re here and I’m doing my best to help you. We haven’t had questions and answers yet, but we will have. But I’m holding off for one reason, I’ll be saying many, many things before I’m finished. They will answer a lot of your questions, and then by that time I doubt if I’ll be able to answer your questions.

Guess that’s it. But we’re trying to put everything here today into the horizontal. Whatever you have, whatever you can do, whatever is in your nature towards Christ, begin doing it one toward another.

So we take Communion the cup tonight and the bread as we are one. We wash feet, it is a part of our worship. It is a part of our love. You follow me? It is what we can do, and from now on we will do more. We will expand ourselves.

Remember, there is nothing in this world brother that holds us down, it’s what’s inside of us that holds us down. Yet people complained to Paul, and they said, “Paul, you put restrictions here, and you’ve done this, and we’ve been confined.”

And he said, “Listen, I want to tell you something, big men are big inside, not big outside. Little men are little inside, not little outside.” He said, “I haven’t done one thing, and God hasn’t done one thing, put you in a straight jacket, the trouble is, you will not get going inside.” See?

That’s good, eh? Could preach a whole sermon on that, but the nut shell is there. Okay, let’s rise.

Heavenly Father, Father of Glory, Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, Present with us tonight, Present with the Bride, no doubt, no way, just the way it is. Nobody is going to change. And we thank You.

It is so wonderful, Lord, that even if we weren’t Bride which by the grace of God we believe we are that. We can be the friend of the Bride Groom standing by. The friend of the Bride, that would be wonderful too. Just to think that we can look at this even, and we haven’t looked, Lord, as a passing fancy, it is what the prophet said it is.

Stand by and look, keep looking at this for in the vision was a pure white marble looking within which had not yet been exposed or revealed. Look at this, for the revelation is coming. And I believe, Lord, we have it.

And I do not believe, Lord, that we are unique or smug in any way within ourselves, nor would we be that way with You even, but we could be unique within the fact that You are here, and we’re looking at You, and we’re going to get changed.

Now Lord, I know You being here does the change anyway. The righteous are righteous, the filthy are filthy, there’ll be a change. The righteous will be such as they’ve never known righteous, and the filthy will be filthy as they’ve never know filthy is.

Without, You said are dogs, what a terrible indictment. Worse thing anybody could say about anybody. That’s true. But the righteous will go to the Tree of Life, their robes have been washed. Washed in the waters of separation. Brought into the Marriage Supper, what a wonderful thing.

Here we stand tonight, Lord, and here we are to partake of these emblems. How wonderful that’s going to be. Making us one. And then washing feet, Lord, putting the vertical into the horizontal. Reaching out, not towards You now, we’re expecting You ourselves in our places with each other. But now, reaching out and loving and respecting each other who is placed in You.

Lord, let this be symbolic. Wash away our thoughts from now on, Lord, our memories, even the good ones that don’t have a proper place with us in this hour. Far more than the bad ones, who must have no place in this hour.

God, if we could open our hearts and minds to Your wisdom, to that holy revelation, how much more to open the mind to a more pure mind. For You said by the apostle Paul, “If we live in the Spirit, walk in it.” And that’s good advice tonight.

Lord, as we reach out to live, we also reach out equally that we might walk. So be with us in the continuing service and then tomorrow. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.

The Lord bless you.
