Brother Lee Vayle

Let us pray.

Heavenly Father, we’re so glad that by the blood of Jesus Christ shed upon Calvary makes the atonement for this hour so that You can draw nigh unto us in condescending.

Your majesty coming down, we’re grateful for that and we’re happy, Lord, blessed people that we know that we can stand in Your Presence and not be condemned.

And Lord, we’ve already seen the revelation of ourselves unto sin and unto death but we have seen the greater revelation of You who came to, unseen sin and death, and overcome hell and the grave and we know that that’s our portion at this hour. We’ve very happy for it.

We know, Lord, we’re not going by sensation, we’re not going by feeling. We’re not going by experience: we’re going by the Word of God, and we have and are becoming the very experience of the Word of God as the prophet said, “That manifestation for this hour.”

We claim it this afternoon, Lord, we do not turn It aside any longer on our merits because we don’t have any. We’re taking it Lord, on Your merits and we appreciate that very much.

Now help us in the study of Your Word. May we have a blessed time together in all portions, of both services, in Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.

You may be seated.

01

Now I’m sort of in betwixt and between because sometimes I don’t feel like using notes, most of the time I feel like using notes and another thing is coming back from Beaumont I simply can’t get over being tired.

I… it seems like even my memory’s blanking out on me. I get a mental block to try to remember something simple like a name or something, and not that all names are simple, you know me.

Brezhnev is a pretty tough name except I’ve heard it so many times on the radio. But it’s very difficult, I get very, very tired, and so I don’t know what I’m up to this afternoon in physical ways and also, in spiritual ways.

By that I mean that… I’ll explain it to you. Now I’m not being negative but you can’t help but be negative sometimes to express the positive.

I’m appalled at the expressions on people’s faces as I discuss with them God in the prophet and the ways of God.

And I know part of the problem was that they were sitting there saying, “Well, you’re not telling us anything new.” That is not what this message is all about. Not something new. See?

John said, “We’re not here to give you a new message.” It’s that message that was left unrevealed.

And many people in listening to me take all the time I possibly could take in showing them that, “Look, if God is on the scene there has got to be a prophet. And if there’s a prophet, there has got to be God.”

And the battle is engaged at this point that the Presence of God is nothing but a doctrine. Now you see why I’m saying negative. You’ve got to understand I’ve got to be negative to be positive, and the positive thing is they say, “We believe a prophet.”

02

Look, I don’t want to hurt anybody’s faith and I don’t want to be judged of anybody because that’s not my job but if you can’t get this, you don’t believe in a prophet.

You can’t because God’s got to be there. And it’s not something that’s… that’s old hat. It’s something that is getting more and more current because the fight has been engaged, as much as I didn’t want it.

As much as I did not desire, myself I’ve gone to many churches and I’ve preached His Presence in an explanatory and in an exploratory fashion. It has never caused a problem until it went on the land of those who are still in Pentecost. It’s getting bright now.

03

Now this has caused the same problem that when phosphorus hits water. Enough phosphorus and enough water and boom! She’ll blow the place to smithereens.

Now we’ve got the water which is the peoples and we’ve got the phosphorus which is light. “Phos” meaning light, and when it hits the people, boom. Huh?

Now there’s two kinds of water in people. Those people that receive ‘phos’, the light, the phosphorous; they will become iridescent… iridescent and illuminated, and they will glow. See?

There’s a big difference from a glare to a glow. Huh? The prophet said so. The others will blow up.

Now look, I’m sorry but if you teach, you teach. And you can’t help where the chips fly. Now I’m not saying anything against the Beaumont church, get this flat.

I talked to Brother Bell about it. He sat there appalled that the people, that many of them were deadpan.

Look, if you… if He is here and you are privy to Him and His revelations which will put you in a resurrection, you don’t sit here deadpan under my ministry. I don’t care who you are. You better not or you and I are going to have a talk.

There’s a woodshed out there and we haven’t got it quite ready but we’ll be heading for it because listen to me, we… we are in the most glorious moments of church history from the Garden of Eden where those things which have never happened are beginning to happen. See?

04

Now we’re not going by emotion: we are going by revelation. Revelation can bring emotion but revelation per say is not emotion. People are mixed up on this the same as they’re mixed up on repentance. Repentance is not emotion.

Godly sorrow brings repentance but godly sorrow is not repentance. Godly sorrow is godly sorrow; repentance is changing of the mind.

And the least emotion you can have in your mind as you peruse, carefully scrutinize, gaze at fixedly, the Word, the better chance you have for really getting emotionally aroused.

Now, don’t worry, just let me read it here. We’ll get into the scripture in a minute or two. I’m just going to talk a bit and if you feel like asking questions, we’re going to throw everything wide open from now on until I get everybody nearly perfectly oriented to what we’re getting into because remember death is separation from God and disorientation.

Do you hear me? Death is separation and disorientation. We are now back into orientation, by no longer separation but union. See? So I wasn’t too negative; I was jolly well positive.

05

Now, here,

Revelation 5:2

(02) …I saw a strong angel proclaiming [after this book was presented], Who is worthy to open the book, and loose the seals…?

There’s nobody there. Their hearts fell in their boots. Great emotion. Everybody got to weeping. John began a weeping and a crying.

Revelation 5:5-7

(05) [Suddenly] one of the elders [said]…, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, …hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals…

(06) And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and… Lamb as it had been slain, [and so on and so on]…

(07) And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.

Now in here we have before the opening of the Seals a condition of manifested sorrow of deep emotion.

And it didn’t do one bit of good because they could sorrow all they want and sorrow is not what brought forth the Lamb to open the Book.

06

Now there isn’t one of you sitting here today that hasn’t been sorrowful for your sins because you got caught.

It wasn’t that you were too sorry for your sins because sin is a lot of fun under the right conditions. Huh? Come on, we’re not… you know, don’t be Pentecostal on me.

Years ago Pentecostal preacher said, “Why,” he said, “The sinner isn’t happy.”

And I said, “The sinner isn’t happy?” One day I realized he’s hog-happy.

And I thought of all the junk I believed all my life because some stupid big mouth preacher gets up and won’t preach the Word of God.

It says, “The pleasures of sin.” It’s whoopee! You bet your sweet life, sin is fun but it’s getting caught.

07

Now you can only have godly sorrow for sin if the Holy Ghost ever grants you repentance, ever grants you that one thing to make you stop and say, “Look it, it wasn’t any fun. It isn’t any fun. There’s a void down in here. Something’s got be, you know…”

Now this fellow here was sorrowing but it was a useless sorrow. If there’s no man to open the book, there’s no one to look.

You go down to the grave crying, you go to the other side crying, you go right down the line crying and then the Lamb came on the scene and took the book and opened it.

And from that time on there was a jubilee. Heavens erupted, earth erupted. Over what? A Lamb opening the Book.

And when that Lamb opened the Book, John, as Brother Branham said I think in about page 112 in the Seal Book, he said, “John looked behind the curtain of time and in there he saw the Bride, everybody rejoicing.”

Revelation 5:11

(11) And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, …thousands of thousands;

The tremendous huge, a gathering of the people of God as soon as the Seals were opened John was able to see consummation. Do you see consummation? All you’ve ever seen so far is your dreams fall on the ground.

The marriages that started so wonderful; they go sort of potty. Yah sure, nobody’s perfect here, except perfect idiots. We can bypass that perfection, of course, but we’re stuck with it. We can’t bypass it.

08

Look, everything, everything is in itself a perversion. It can’t be helped. Everything is in a state of disorientation but with the opening of the Seals you’re looking at a consummation where God doesn’t only undo that which was wrong but He takes you far beyond what He ever started there in the Garden of Eden because with the Garden of Eden and the fall of man and redemption He had something else in mind that’s a billion times greater.

Now you’re looking at it today. See?

09

Now, so, as we look at this we have got to understand that the emotion, the true emotion can only come after a true revelation. And the true revelation depends on your minds.

Now I know right there is where the Pentecostals and all the rest say, “I don’t believe that.”

Well, I don’t care what they believe; I’m telling you the truth. I don’t care what anybody believes.

If you don’t think that’s right let’s go back to the Book of 2 Corinthians and we’ll read what it says here.

2 Corinthians 3:13-14

(13) And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:

(14) …their minds were blinded:

Their minds were blinded. See? They were consumed with an emotion. What was the emotion that blinded their minds? Way back there when they saw the Pillar of Fire and heard the thunderings and they knew and they had the chance, the opportunity when the very Presence of God.

They said, “No, no, no, no, no.” Why don’t you shut up and look and listen? But it’s always been that way.

So they said, “Okay, Moses you go tell God we don’t want to see anymore or hear anymore. God said, “That’s wonderful. That’s exactly what I’ll do. I’ll listen to them.”

And they set a course in history and that course in history is set until after the Resurrection. See? Those people messed it up.

10

Now our minds get in our way. Now it says right here,

2 Corinthians 3:16-18

(16) Nevertheless when it [will] turn to the Lord,… [What? That’s the mind and the heart but the heart cannot turn to the Lord until the mind turns to the Lord. Now it tells you how it’s going to be done.]

(17) Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

(18) But we all, with [unveiled] face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Now it says that if Brother Branham were here he would take you after the church fell in the ground and begin to come back, he would take you from Luther to Wesley, and Wesley to Pentecost and he would tell you that that was the return of Christ in clouds.

Now you got shocked to death, didn’t you? Did you know the prophet said that? That He’s coming in clouds or clouds of glory and he categorically mentioned that that glory which was… which we know was started back there with Luther began bringing Him into pre-eminence in waves.

And he said, “That Luther knew about and looked for the Pillar of Fire.” I want to know where he got that from history. He said, “Wesley, Calvin…” We know the Pentecostals figured it.

Now was Brother Branham saying the age did or was he saying the man did? What was he saying?

Well, I’ll categorically tell you, he said, “Luther looked for the Pillar of Fire; and Wesley looked for the Pillar of Fire; Calvin looked and these men of God, but only this age sees it.”

So what you are seeing here is the glory which only the Pillar of Fire can bring which is the change from mortality to immortality to the specific copy of Jesus who is the copy of God. God rolled off one copy of Himself that was Jesus.

Now He’s in the process of the New Testament Bride rolling off many copies. That’s right. Everyone is going to be an attribute. Only he Jesus is the fullness of the attributes of God.

The rest of us are partial attributes so that we as the body can form the whole. The same as Jesus in all the attributes being over a space of time.

11

Now, this One in whose image we are to finally come has been coming up from the death of the church which was caused by a false Jesus, a false spirit and a false Word; like three kinds of believers. Not really.

God in a sort of a perfection. Three things. They missed it. They went into the grave. The church went into the grave.

Now it begins to come back. Now how does the church come back? Well, God’s the Resurrection. He’s going to start raising her. So beginning to raise the Christ He starts with justification.

Now that was Christ beginning to appear in the church. That’s the first wave of glory. Under Luther comes the second wave of glory, a cloud of glory.

He is appearing more and more and as Brother Branham said, “The glory of Luther was so far ahead of Catholicism, and the glory of Wesley, Methodism is so far ahead of Lutherans, and Pentecost so far ahead of that. And we are ahead of it all.”

You say, “Why?” It has nothing to do with us. We simply are the privileged of being here at the time that He is coming in clouds of glory. See? So that, what…

Are you following me? Now look, I jump very fast from point to point but I try to keep a continuity here.

12

Now we’re talking about this One that’s appearing, so that under Pentecost He comes further still. See? Now then after Pentecost you come all the way.

Now I’ve got to cheat to keep certain things in mind because if you don’t use notes it’s rough. But look, at Pentecost the Pillar of Fire came and came over the building where one hundred and twenty names were.

Now names are names but if it’s a hundred and twenty people don’t ask me. I don’t remember if Brother Branham said exactly if a hundred and twenty people were there or a hundred and twenty names, forget it. Whoever was there was there. All right.

And a tongue of fire came from that cloud and He divided Himself into the people, but He didn’t divide all of Himself into the people because all the people weren’t there.

If a hundred and twenty people could get all the Holy Ghost there was to be given then you and I haven’t got anything and neither has anybody in between that age that died.

And I do not even mean the age that died, I mean that first century because they didn’t live to be a hundred years old. John was the oldest of the whole bunch, ninety some years of age, or ninety-nine he died.

So therefore, He didn’t divide Himself completely but He symbolically set Himself as the One who was there dividing Himself which would take place over roughly two thousand years.

13

Now at that point the One standing there begins dividing Himself, all that there is to divide, attributes.

Now the next generation they received the Holy Ghost and the next generation receive and in every church age there is a measure of the Word and the Holy Spirit which is actually the Holy Spirit in that Word or that Word living by the Holy Spirit, each age gets seven portions and each generation which is a new generation starts every day with a birth of a baby.

Whoever the elect are they will have poured into them for roughly two thousand years until there’s no more to pour. Then if there’s no more to pour then He is standing here again from the feet up.

What was from the head down from the feet up until once more the head stands there?

14

So then, as it says in Zechariah And don’t steal my chair anymore, leave it up here front. Now I won’t have to yell so loud, don’t you leave it for the down bm, but next time bring my chair up here, and leave it here. That’s Br Even’s chair but it’s mine, he done lost it. You want money for it, take it out of the treasury. Can get another just like it. Okay, should have stop the tape but we’ll leave it on the tape. Zechariah 4, now, verse 6.

Zechariah 4:6

(06) …This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.

In other words, there isn’t anything that anybody can do and even the power of the Holy Spirit is completely minimized.

Even the Spirit is stripped of dynamism of force because it’s not by might nor by power and the Holy Spirit has might and He has power.

So therefore, it is neither by those but it is still by the Spirit. All right.

Zechariah 4:7-9

(07) Who art thou, …great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone… with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it. [The headstone comes forth entirely by grace. The message of this hour is the message of grace.]

(08) Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

(09) The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; [and] his hands shall… finish it [also];…

Now in other words, it starts with grace and it ends with grace. It starts with the fullness and it ends with the fullness.

And what was in the feet which is cornerstone is repeated in the head which is capstone which is spiritual.

Now,

Zechariah 4:10

(10) For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; [these] are the eyes of the LORD,…

15

Now it tells you exactly what it says in the Book of Revelation which is over here in chapter 5. Let’s go back and take a look at it.

Now, in the 6th verse,

Revelation 5:6

(06) And… [behold], and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, …and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God [to go] forth [in] all the earth.

Now listen! This explains Zechariah. Who started it? The same One that finishes it. When did it start? On the day of Pentecost. When is it over? At the time the Seals were open and the Seventh Seal runs Its course. See?

Now not all the way, just part of the way because the Seventh Seal goes to the Millennium and down the road. Actually if you want to know chronology the Seventh Seal takes place simultaneously with the end of the Fourth Seal because it’s under the Fourth Seal the Bride is taken away. That’s chronology.

16

Now you can see the One that starts it, ends it. The cornerstone and the capstone is the same. The Fullness stood there dividing Himself and there’s nothing left to divide.

As Brother Branham showed that pyramid Stature of a Perfect Man. Now what was he doing? He was pouring into the Bride that which had to do with the Baptism with the Holy Ghost.

Now here’s where everybody is getting mixed up that’s aligning themselves with what I, perhaps injudiciously and perhaps even maliciously and perhaps very truthfully one hundred percent right, I call “the gates of hell.”

Now you may be startled. That’s fine by me. You just keep your startling under control because I’m now going to read you something.

Psalms 24:3-10

(03) Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? …who shall stand in his holy place?

(04) He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

(05) He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

(06) This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob.

(07) Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be… [lifted] up, …ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. [Behold, I stand at the door and knock. It’s also a picture of the ascent. See?]

(08) Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

(09) Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

(10) Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory.

Now we’re going to crown Him at that time, in our time. He went up there with the resurrected dead from Jerusalem.

They said, “Who is he?” I’ll tell you who he is and he’s with those the gates in where His name is placed. We are the gates where His name is placed.

Then you tell me who the gates of hell are where the name isn’t placed? I’m rough as a cob here. I’m sorry. If you want to get offended, and you think I’m negative that’s your business.

You’re just not part of this party, that’s all. Have a good time, think your own thoughts but I’m throwing a little hallelujah party here today if you’re catching all that I’m saying.

Now see look, it’s time the gloves were off and really off and they’re off because I’m going to show you something here now. All right.

17

Now look, here we are with His Name. Remember, the Bride has His Name and nobody else has that Name and He has placed His Name only in one gate.

Now you say, “Okay, that’s Him who opens the door to all of us.” That’s exactly right but remember, it says in the plural, “gates”.

Lift up your heads, ye people, in whom He’s placed His Name and Brother Branham categorically said, “These people talk about being in Jesus’ Name where two or three are gathered,” he said, “that’s not what it means. It means being in His Name, not I gather in His Name.”

Like we can gather here in the name of Grace Gospel Church. That’s fine. That doesn’t mean a thing. And you can gather in Jesus’ Name and that doesn’t mean a thing but if you are in His Name there’s a difference.

Now that’s how it is to gather, then it says right there, “He has got to be in the midst of you.”

Now there’s a gathering every age but at the end time there’s a gathering, an age, where Brother Branham categorically said, “This is the time of invisible union, the time of the marrying going on, the time of the sealing in, so therefore, it’s the time of the husband picking up that virgin.”

18

Now let’s go back a bit to our thought here. I said, okay this Pillar of Fire that came down, this One who said, “Look…”

Let’s go back to John 14 and let’s read it. Got awful warm in here, you can turn your fire down and open some windows or something because it’s to blustering hot, if you cold now my,my,my you worst shape then I am and l thought I was in a bad shape.

Get a little fresh air in here. Now look, he said here, verse 16,

John 14:16-18

(16) And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

(17) [Now He’s] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. [That’s exactly true. He was dwelling in Jesus. He was dwelling within.]

(18) I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

Now just a minute, did Jesus the man say this or was that God in him? Now Jesus the man did not come back. He hasn’t come back yet.

And he won’t come back until he’s seated on the white horse with the Bride that’s as far as we’re concerned.

He may appear to the Jews, that’s good. Brother Branham said so I’ll leave that with the Jews. This is for us.

Now… how come…

John 14:19-20

(19) …a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. [Now He came back at Pentecost, now let’s watch this.]

(20) [In] that day [you’ll] know that I am in [the] Father, and [you] in me, and I in you.

Now Brother Branham categorically said and it is true, “That was Pentecost. That was this hour and yet to be in the White Throne judgment.” Okay.

19

Now watch! He came back not in human flesh but veiled in a Pillar of Fire and He dropped little flares upon each person and they received a little flame so to speak, the enlightenment, the Spirit of God, each one that was born at Pentecost and this has gone on for two thousand years and now we’re coming back to the place where there is no more.

Do you see what I’m saying? Building from the feet up, the measure has come to where there is no more.

Now I’ll get to the Stature of a Perfect Man pretty soon. Well, we’ll go there right now to the Stature of a Perfect Man. Okay.

Well, let me get it. Ephesians 4th chapter, where he links the Word to the Spirit. Now, He that descended, now watch, let’s read this 9th verse.

Ephesians 4:9

(09) (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

Now all right. How did he go down there? By spirit! His body didn’t go to the lower parts of the earth, his body was right on top of the ground in a cave. Okay. He descended.

Ephesians 4:10

(10) He that descended is the same also that ascended… far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

Yes, by the Spirit He went into hell and preached. By the Spirit He went into upper Sheol and tore the gates asunder and brought them out.

Now it said He went up, spirit, not just body. Then it says He came back.

Ephesians 4:10

(10) He that descended is the same… that ascended…

20

So he came… so Jesus came back in the form of the Holy Spirit. Now you’re dealing with Jesus which is Jehovah Savior. You’re not dealing now with the body.

You’re dealing with Hebrews 13:8, “The same yesterday, today and forever.”

You’re dealing with the One in Revelations. “He which was and is, which is to come.”

Not, “he which was the dead and is alive forevermore.” You’re talking about Elohim in contradistinction to the body.

Now remember, Jesus was not his own Father. I’m accused of preaching two gods. I was accused here and I’m accused all over the country because they don’t know, God can’t be born, God can’t die. See?

They’re the ones that are mixed up. They’re Jesus Only and don’t know it because it isn’t Jesus Only as though Jesus sits there and the spirit goes out of him. He is a man but he’s a very special type man which is a God man because God was his Father.

He had a Father, like Brother Branham said, “Jesus in the spirit form was Melchisedec, Jehovah Savior, and He didn’t have a Father, He didn’t have a mother, He didn’t have beginnings, He didn’t have an end: Jesus had father and mother, and a beginning; he hasn’t got an end.”

21

So let’s look at the picture. This One who in His attributes, those attributes were not a Pillar of Fire and He can be anything He wants to be in His attributes because they’re in there, only God knows how many attributes, He took upon Himself a form and He made Himself a body, “[Lo], a body hast thou prepared for me,” so therefore, the body was here on earth and then God came into him at the River Jordan.

Then in Gethsemane God left him. Then when he died his spirit went back to God and God’s spirit united came down with him and preached to the souls in prison, entered upper Sheol, that is of those that were in Jerusalem because they’re the only ones that came forth. They had to be there.

That’s why Joseph said, “Take my bones back,” and Jacob said, “Take my bones back,” and everybody said, “Listen, bury me right here,” because they knew by revelation that’s where the Resurrection would take place. All right.

22

Now then,

Ephesians 4:11-13

(11) …he gave some, apostles;…

(12) [Paraphrased] [Now he tells you to perfect the saints, the work of the ministry, to build up the body of Christ:]

(13) Till we all come in the unity of the faith,…

Now listen, he’s talking about that One, see? over the ages that is in a position until a certain time.

Like you hire a person to fill a contract, when the contract is over and the job is done, the person is finished.

You don’t pay him anymore wages. You don’t have him there anymore. It’s all over. Now it’s just not quite that simple here but the idea is here.

Ephesians 4:13-16

(13) [Now when you] come in the unity of faith, the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:

(14) That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, [Now listen! It tells you it’s bringing you to a place of maturity. This One that came back as the Holy Ghost is doing a work. Now,] carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

(15) …[holding] the truth in love, …grow up [unto] him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

(16) From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

23

Now it tells you right here, that what He is doing through the ages, He that was there at Pentecost showing that He was going to have a Bride which was His body He gave ministries which delivered the Word which Word would go to the place where no more Word could be delivered, no more full of the Holy Ghost because it was over. See? It was all over.

Now at that time there would be a people who were absolutely mature who could not be shaken by doctrine which the first church age was shaken by doctrine, and from that time on there has always been a perverted Jesus, a perverted spirit, and a perverted Word.

Not that they really were, it was in their minds. And that perversion made the Word of God void so It couldn’t be fulfilled.

And the Word of God, now I know what you’re thinking, you say, “Well, how do we ever get by?” You just keep listening. See?

The Word of God is the promise of the Resurrection. And there can’t be one until you get back to that Word.

So therefore, when this Word, the church lay in that ground dying the same as Jesus died, buried in the ground.

He first started to come forth in a spiritual Resurrection and appearing amongst us in the first wave of glory which was the Holy Spirit Word getting us back to where we would come to maturity.

Now come on, what’s maturity? There’s nothing to it. I take a beautiful original seed of wheat and I put it in the ground and I let… properly fertilize it and I water it with the right water and the sun comes out and it goes up, up, up, up, up and pretty soon I’ve got a lot of exactly what I buried.

What I buried in a single form comes forth in the same form multiplied; that’s maturity. See? All right.

24

You come to maturity at the time Melchisedec visits this earth and He’s already done it. See? At the time that Elohim appears to the elect, at the time that a prophet stands here in order to reveal Him.

Now what I’m trying to show you here is, over seven church ages we have had the Baptism with the Holy Ghost. And what has the Baptism with the Holy Ghost done? I’ll tell you what it’s done. Let’s look at the Scripture.

Let’s go to the Book of Galatians… this I… Now okay, let’s start at the 5th chapter. Now he’s taken the allegory in the 4th chapter.

Abraham had two sons and as Terry brought out, God said, “Take thy son, thine only son.”

You say, “Well, the other was a son.” Don’t you spit in God’s face. Don’t be a fool.

You say, “Well, that’s Abraham’s seed. I’ll join that.” You go ahead.

You be an Ishmaelite if you want. That’s already been said. I never heard such a radical thing in my life and such a demeaning thing.

I’m ain’t going to take myself to Ishmael, hogwash, even if I was I wouldn’t recognize him. Phttt! I’ve got more brains than that.

You just say, “Well…” They say, the cop comes by and says, “Who robbed the store?” “I did. I did.” You’re too busy running down the block if you’ve got an ounce of brains. Ishmael, my foot.

Galatians 5:1

(01) Stand fast therefore [now, but this allegory. All right.]

25

“Many more are the children of she that is desolated than she that hath a husband.”

Galatians 4:28

(28) Now…, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.

Now Isaac was a child of promise but Ishmael was not. So now you’ve got a promise, the promised seed and that goes to Isaiah 53, “He shall see his seed. He shall prolong his days.”

In other words, He’s going to see his seed in the Resurrection and He’ll be prolonged which means many children. Adam has been prolonged. The serpent has been prolonged.

Now God is going to be prolonged. Oh, that’s nice. That’s just not very nice, that’s fantastic.

Think, we’re going to be in the place where true seed doesn’t have all these stupid coverings on, and everything malicious and rotten and inbred sin and everything.

We’re going to be the true seed. Hallelujah, I can’t wait but I suppose I’ve got to wait. But I’m going to tell you I’m here under protest.

That’s why every baby comes in the world crying: they’re here under protest and they never stop howling to get out of it. I’m not going to stop howling either. All right.

26

It says right here,

Galatians 4:30

(30) Cast out the bondwoman and her son: [they are not going to be in the Resurrection unto eternal life in the Millennium. There’s no way. Now he said to them.]

Galatians 5:1

(01) Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

What yoke of bondage? The minds cluttered up, mixing law and grace. Now you watch what’s happening right against this message right today. They don’t know what I’m saying and I’m going to show it to you.

Now you keep this tape and you better study this tape so I’m not wasting my time. I don’t care if none of you make it and I don’t make it either. We are going to know the truth, bless God.

And we’re going to stand back and know somewhere there’s a Bride that understands what we’re talking about. You bet, let’s just have what’s real amongst us, brother/sister.

Let’s have what’s real or let’s not have it. Who needs it? Fap! Come on.

Galatians 5:2-3

(02) Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

(03) For I testify again to every man that is [crucified] circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

Because the law said circumcision; grace said baptism with the Holy Ghost, a free gift. Just repent, change your mind and God grants you that, and you get baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and God says, “I do the rest.”

What more do you want for your nickel? Why we’re get to… we’re in debt to trillions of years of hell fire and damnation.

We’re in debt to it and He said, “Look, I’ll just do it for you.” The headstone the same as the foundation.

Grace, grace, grace: not law, law, law and works, works, works.

27

Now listen! I’ve got every right to say what I want in this pulpit and I’m saying her too. And when our… finally when our little, little old laws are drawn up here it’s going to be where I’ve got the right to say anything I want to say under guidance.

I’m not hitting anybody. I’m just telling you because this tape will go out and boy, she’s going to go out.

Like minded, that you look this thing right in the face to say that’s right. You won’t go by emotion.

We want a hoop-di-do hip-hurrah spirit, we want to run, we want to dance, we want to talk in tongues, we want all that emotion.

Now Paul said, “Hold it. I’m appealing to your minds.” That you begin to say, “Just a minute. The law was until John, grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.”

Colossians says, “The law is finished.”

Let’s go look at Colossians 2, I’ll get back here. Oh, we got all day. Listen, you wished you’d brought your, you can be glad they didn’t bring me the chair but I might be fool you anyway, you bunch.

Colossians 2:9-13

(09) For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. [That’s the fullness of the bodily, all the attributes that can form a body were there.]

(10) And [you] are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: [All right.]

(11) In whom… ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: [his cutting off]

(12) Buried with him in baptism, wherein… ye are [also] risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, [that] hath raised him from the dead.

(13) And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all [your] trespasses;

Now if you’re truly forgiven you’re quickened. Can’t help it. That’s why a lot of people aren’t forgiven. They don’t send their sins on beforehand. They keep them.

Now listen!

Colossians 2:14

(14) Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, [that] was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to [the] cross;

28

Now listen! The legalist, the Seventh Day Adventist, the Pentecostal, they’ll all tell you, “This means, oh, the terrible thing of washing the pots and washing the pans and doing this, and doing that.”

Listen to me, oh, I’m going to be nasty. No, I don’t want to be nasty. I don’t know how to say this. I don’t know how to say this. You listen. I’ll try to phrase this so I’m as nice as possible.

How would you like to live under a condition-and this is a wild age in which you live where men and women are both prone to sexual exploits that are not only titillating in the flesh but they are terribly ungodly because the intensity of the titillation and that which is being pleasure has gone to the place that even hell would vomit, but you knew today all you had to do was take a little lamb, cut its throat, sprinkle its blood and wash a few pots and pans-how’d you feel? Say, real good.

David lusted and killed and brought forth a bastard baby which God let die because both he and she were married. That’s the only true bastard there is, you’ve got to have two living couples and they get together the wrong way.

Read it yourself. I’ve got it right in the back of my Bible here written, copied out so people… can answer your questions.

29

Now listen! The washing of pots and pans was not against you, it was for you. What was against you? The Ten Commandments.

God blotted out everything that was against us and took it out of the way through the death of Jesus Christ, and when He did He didn’t leave the desire in there to go out and take another man’s wife.

He put a desire in there to live pure, as Brother Branham said, “To have your wives and live with them.” And I don’t find that too hard myself. I find it the best life under God’s high heaven.

I agree with the prophet when he said, “If a man could… God could give a better… a better gift than a wife He would have given it, there’s nothing that will ever touch it.” You see what I’m saying?

30

Let’s go back to Galatians 5, now so we can get a little further here. I want you to see what we’re saying here all along.

Now, he said here:

Galatians 5:10-11

(10) I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.

(11) And I, brethren, if I… preach circumcision, why do I… suffer persecution? [this] then is the offence of the cross ceased.

Now he said there comes a time when you stand with what the cross actually accomplished and what is yours through the baptism with the Holy Ghost and you will suffer at the hands of religious people.

Now the cross blotted out the handwriting against us. It took away everything that was against us which was the Ten Commandments and the moral offenses and all those things went.

And when you begin to talk about grace, people rise up because they don’t understand grace. They only understand works and that’s not good. He said,

Galatians 5:12

(12) I would they were… cut off which trouble you.

What does the word “cut off” mean? Emasculated, castrated. Why? Because they got the wrong seed. The Bride was impregnated with the wrong seed to begin with right after Pentecost.

Wrong Jesus, wrong word, wrong spirit, not that they were wrong. They were perverted in their understanding. They couldn’t see clear anymore.

Galatians 5:15

(15) …if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed with one another.

And it tells you religious dog fights are the order of the day. Everybody said, “Well, with this is the last day message how come there’s fighting among you?” “How come there isn’t? You’ve got to be crazy.” If there’s no fighting you know jolly well everybody’s dead. Sure.

Let’s get down where the nitty gritty is, come on. You’re not on the other side of the Resurrection, you’re right here in the worst time of all.

Galatians 5:16

(16) This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.

What’s he talking about? The rebirth as against this, I don’t care what you do, I don’t care what happens, the cross blotted out and made a way that you and I could be full of the Holy Ghost so we can be absolutely pure by the blood.

Couldn’t put a finger on you because sin is scattered. See?

31

Be ye holy you vessels, or ye that bear the vessels of the Lord. The vessels are to be holy unto God. Now God purifies those vessels through the blood. See?

What was against us is what lies in here, our desires which have been perverted. There was a desire for Adam and Eve to bring forth children but not by sex. Now with the perversion, all people want is sex.

And when you think the situation over what a baby does to a woman, what it does in a household, you wonder, you say, I could even forego sex to get rid of that stuff. If it weren’t for sexual desire children would not be born.

Now there was a desire of sex which was pure sex which wasn’t physical intercourse. It was intercourse with each other through the Spirit unto God who would bring life in through the male and female with God and then God would provide a body.

Man provided the body. It got out of order. So God has to provide the Holy Spirit to bring him back. A blood sacrifice.

Now at the end time God will provide the body. So God does everything. We’re not going to have these same bodies, don’t kid yourself.

We’ll look like we are but we’re going to have different bodies. Phew, you bet your life. Oh man, don’t talk about that, except talk the right way.

Now hold your finger there.

32

Let’s go to… let’s go to Ephesians, no pardon me, hold your finger there and go back, go back to Romans. All right.

In,

Romans 8:2,8-9

(02) For the law… of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has [made me] free from the law of sin and of death. [Now it says in verse 8,]

(08) So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

(09) But [you] are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be… the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. [Now then what’s He going to be like? He’s going to be like this.]

33

Now watch!

Galatians 5:16

(16) This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and [you] shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

Now how are you going to walk in the Spirit if you’re not in the Spirit to begin with? Paul said, “If you live in the Spirit, then walk in the Spirit.”

Showing you that you can be absolutely born again and can conform to the Word of God from the inner life that lies within you. Sure there’ll be trouble but you can overcome.

Now watch!

Galatians 5:17-20

(17) …the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: [They’re fighting each other all the time.] and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things… [you] would.

(18) But if [you’re] led of the Spirit, [you’re] not under the law. [In other words, you come to the place of recognition and recognition brings deliverance. See? That’s the thing.]

(19) Now the works of the flesh are manifest, …Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness. [Notice that, a whole bunch of mess which has to do with sexual perversion. Then next.]

(20) Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

Now notice, from the sexual they go into satanic worship, completely off the Word, idolatry, false gods, the whole bit-into hatreds, variance, emulations, wrath, strife-that’s personal things-seditions and heresies, against their own nations.

They’re not worth a plug nickel to God. They’re not worth a plug nickel to each other. They’re not worth a plug nickel to the community, completely bankrupt.

Galatians 5:21

(21) Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of which I tell you before, as [I’ve] …told you in times past,… they [that] do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. [Why? Because if you’re born again you won’t do them. All right.]

34

Now watch!

Galatians 5:22

(22) But the fruit of the Spirit…

Now notice, one is called works, the other is fruit. Fruit is what is in the tree and comes forth with proper fertilization and water and sun.

Works is what you exercise to do. Fruit is a growth from a life. Works is something which is produced through an energy or a strength. You’re doing it.

Now he says here,

Galatians 5:22-23

(22) …the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

(23) Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Now it tells you that’s character. Do you follow what I said? That is character. Now if we had our blackboard here which we don’t have we could do something.

35

We’re going to go to 1 Peter, is what I think I want. If it’s not 1 Peter, it’s 1 Peter, no, 2 Peter 1st chapter. Okay. Now here’s the pyramid Brother Branham talked about for seven church ages.

Now verse… 3,

2 Peter 1:3-4

(03) According [to the] divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the true knowledge of him that hath called… [to] glory and [to] virtue: [Now there’s the life that Paul speaks of.]

(04) Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

In other words, it tells you, you that are born again you absolutely begin having the divine nature flow through you, through that which you’re birthed into as an individual and through every church age until as the prophet said, “You are entirely sealed in by the Holy Spirit individually in the church.”

2 Peter 1:5

(05) [Now] …beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue;…

So all right, first of all there’s faith. Number two is virtue. Number three is knowledge. Number four is temperance. Number five is patience. Number six is godliness. Number seven is brotherly kindness. And eight which goes beyond seven is Christ which is love which is God Himself.

Now you will notice, that every one of those pertain to character.

For seven solid church ages, let’s understand this, through the baptism with the Holy Ghost, there has been the divine proliferation and manifestation of character. Seven ages. That’s right.

36

Now what people don’t understand in this message when I speak of the fact that Brother Branham said, “It is not character. It is not fruit. It is not nearness to God. It is not obedience. It is not gifts.”

Every single one of them that I mentioned is due to the baptism with the Holy Ghost. We do not repudiate them. We believe in them.

What I’m trying to say is this that is not what we’re talking about, because when the Holy Spirit came at Pentecost He came to start redemption and He stood there in His entirety and nobody had anything. Right!

I don’t care if the blood was shed. It just meant detriment to them. It just meant they’d have to trample him under his foot. It meant they’d answer to God, having crucified Him.

Now not just the law coming down on them but God Himself giving grace coming down on them. How would they escape the damnation of hell?

Now He started doing something when He stood there to divide Himself. Now for seven ages He’s divided Himself and He’s done it through the fruit of the Spirit and through manifestation.

37

Now let’s take a look at the 12th chapter of 1 Corinthians and get the picture exactly right.

1 Corinthians 12:1-2

(01) Now concerning [the] spiritual… [the charismatic] brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

(02) [You] know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.

In other words, they used to prostrate themselves before those idols thinking that God would come into the idols and making a communication and so on.

1 Corinthians 12:3-4

(03) Wherefore [ye that understand], that no [man] speaking by the Spirit of God [calls] “Jesus is accursed” and no [man] can say, “Jesus is Lord,” [but] by the Holy Ghost.

(04) Now there are [diversities] of gifts, but the same Spirit.

The Spirit of God gives gifts. Okay. Different operations. Manifestation given to the prophet. One is given the spirit of wisdom and so on and so on.

Now, I want to find something here if I can find it. All right, the 12th chapter, yeah verse 12.

1 Corinthians 12:12-13

(12) For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.

(13) For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body,…

The baptism with the Holy Ghost gives you manifestation, not just the life and character. So nobody says, “Look, gifts are gone.” They’re put the shelf as it were. The age is over for it because it’s transpired.

But they’re still here, God didn’t take away anything. So we have been taken out… in the Holy Ghost is oneness with God.

“He that is joined of the Lord is of one spirit.” That’s the baptism of the Holy Ghost, you’re personal.

38

Now obedience, sure, how can you… how can there be obedience without the Holy Ghost because it’s God in you willing and doing His good pleasure. That’s the baptism of the Holy Ghost. See?

Gifts, baptism of the Holy Ghost. See. Nearness to God. Well, how to you get nearer? Except the spirit lust against the flesh, and puts the flesh down. More consecration. See?

These things we do not dis-annul, whatever is in the baptism with the Holy Ghost to the individual has never been annulled. It’s never taken away.

Now I’ve explained this on tape after tape and yet I get a word back that a man himself confesses that he heard my tape negatively which means he deliberately choose to twist my words.

Now let him twist my words today because we’ll see he gets the tape, see if he doesn’t. Let him twist my words today.

Let me tell you flat when you are born again you have character. If you’re genuinely born again there will be gifts. He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever. There’ll be nearness. There’ll be every one of those things but that’s not what we’re talking about.

We’re talking about a time when the baptism with the Holy Ghost literally runs out. Now that will shock the britches off, but the prophet said so.

Now I’m sorry for them but they’re going to get naked. It’s their fault they’re naked, not mine. Let’s get that flat.

39

Ephesians the 1st chapter, it says here, in the 12th verse concerning what put you into the eternities.

Ephesians 1:12-14

(12) That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

(13) In whom ye also [hoped], [that word is ‘hope’ not “trusted”] after that [you] heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that [you] believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise.

(14) [Now notice, you were sealed after you believed] which is the earnest of our inheritance, until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

In other words, there comes a time when redemption runs out. That is concerning you and me standing here in the spirit, physical bodies. We’re waiting for the redemption now of our body.

And there cannot be one body redeemed out of the soil until the last elected member comes in, baptized with the Holy Ghost and child trained. Now, that’s what we’re looking at.

And Brother Branham categorically said, “The Baptism with the Holy Ghost is temporary.”

Now they say they believe a prophet, let’s find out if they believe a prophet. I don’t ask you to believe me. Believe the prophet, he said so. I wouldn’t have stumbled on that by myself.

Don’t think for one minute I’m quoting Lee Vayle as though Lee Vayle found it. I’m quoting from the prophet. Like waves of glory and the whole thing.

Now here we are Christ coming into headship on waves of glory. This is the greatest thing. Pentecost has run out. Why go back to it? Under them was trinity.

Under them was a false understanding of Godhead, of God Himself, of who Jesus is and what the Word is. Then why go back to part of it? Because it’s what took them off. Now you’ve got to get the picture perfect. Okay.

40

Now he tells you here,

Ephesians 1:14

(14) Which is the earnest [the down payment] …until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

Now waves of glory. He’s on waves of glory coming in the church. What was the last great wave of glory be? What it was in the beginning, manifest in human flesh. Jesus in Bride form. That’s right. That’s exactly what it is.

There’s going to be a Bride standing right here changed and she’s going to have the mind of Christ. She’s going to absolutely one with that Word the way they were in the beginning.

As Brother Branham said, “Return to original Pentecost.”

I’m all for returning to original Pentecost where the Spirit of God was there complete Elohim dividing Himself.

Now there comes a time when the Great One stands again and He doesn’t divide Himself because division is over.

41

Now then, the Baptism with the Holy Ghost at this point brings you to where they were originally. No man had character, no man had anything.

He saw a manifestation of the real thing, then when the Holy Spirit came back they had to be baptized with the Holy Ghost to even understand what was happening.

And He stood there starting to divide Himself and at the end time when the division is fully over then there’s nothing more and He stands there again.

Because you see what He was there pouring into is now completely full, so therefore, having been completely poured into He stands here at the end time complete in a little tiny Bride at the end time and He’s amongst us, out in the midst of us.

42

Now this is what these people I say positively choose to misunderstand in my preaching. And if you’ve misunderstood to this point let me tell you today you are without excuse because I’ll give you a chance to ask questions, and I don’t care if it’s male or female, boy or girl because I’m not too much interested in church order where women have to keep their mouths shut or not.

I’m getting off the hook and I mean it. Because this is a deliberate perversion of what I teach and I’m going to tell you again it wasn’t character that the disciples had when He stood there, although they had the best character of anybody. It wasn’t nearness to God. It wasn’t gifts.

It wasn’t anything but it’s when He stood there it started and when it’s all over, it’s all poured in He stands there again to finish it.

Now that’s your Alpha and Omega and you can’t change it because God never trusted anybody to start redemption in the Garden. He came to the Garden and did it Himself, and now He is here to do it again.

When it came time to deliver Israel, He did it Himself. See, when it came time to deliver Abraham to bring the son on the scene, prefigured in Sodom and Gomorrah, He Himself came. He didn’t send somebody else.

43

When God wanted to redeem mankind through blood He came Himself in a body that He formed for Himself which became the blood of God because the attributes were there and the Attributor is not the attributes.

But without the Attributor there are not attributes and the attributes explain, determine, and show who the Attributor is. Yeah, you’re just beginning to understand Logos, aren’t you?

I thought you one time heard a sermon that was going to finish Logos for everybody. We have just begun. I’m not negative. I’m positive.

You challenge me I’m negative, I’ll skin you alive and hang your hide on that wall because I’m positive. I know where I stand. I know where I stand.

I read my twenty-five pages of notes just this morning on the Logos, and it threw me to read them what I wrote under inspiration. I kid you not, I’m not boasting. I know where I stand.

It’s too late in the day not to know where you stand my beloved brother and sister. If you don’t know where you stand I feel sorry for you. You better repent. There’s a Holy Spirit waiting to baptize you.

44

Brother Branham screamed out in ’65, I think it was or was it ’64 when he preached ‘The Token’. And in that Token he said, “Luther and Wesley waited for that Pillar of Fire.”

‘End Time Evangelism’ when Mr. Matson Bose sitting there knowing he was going in the foreign field, and Brother Branham said, “I’m going, too.” He let Mr. Bose know exactly what end time evangelism was. Read it.

Or we’ll get the book and read it together or get a bunch of books and let the tape go on. Let’s find out what it is. It’s not what people think it is. It’s this hour the gospel of the kingdom.

Elohim is here. If He started it He’s got to end it. Now He’s ending this church age by His Presence and there’s no more to be poured in. Seven church ages, seven messages.

45

Now the next thing to come then after that Word went forth would have to be God Himself which is love.

All right. Let’s go and take a look at the Word.

We go to 1 Corinthians chapter 13. Now it says here in the 9th verse.

1 Corinthians 13:9-10

(09) For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

(10) But when that which is perfect is come, …that which is in part shall be done away.

Now it tells you. What did you have in part? You had the Word in part. You had the Presence in part. You had your redemption in part because in your soul in your spirit was justified but your body wasn’t.

For the body is dead because of sin but the spirit is life because of righteousness. Part. Now this is the hour when there’s no more parts. I don’t care what the Greeks say, they don’t bug me one way or the other. Greek or no Greek.

1 Corinthians 13:10

(10) But when that which is perfect is come,…

What is perfect? It is finished, consummated, polished off; it’s all over. So therefore, if you add, it’s marred, if you take away, it’s marred.

You got to start over again. Merciful heavens, you’ve got to start over again? Ya, that’s right.

46

You know the potter Jeremiah was a prophet. God said, “You go down and see the potter down there,” and the potter was making things and you know how it is.

I saw a potter do this myself and he put the clay on the wheel and he puts the old pedal, zoob zoob, zoob a little old stick in his hand and he molds a lovely vessel and he said, “That looks beautifully symmetrical doesn’t it.

Oh,” he said, “that looks fine.” And he took a wire, cattle string wire, and he cut the vessel in two and it was crooked as a dog’s hind leg. Look inside of a man, he’s shot. All right.

Jeremiah say, “Hey, this thing’s a mess.” He said, “Start all over again.”

We ain’t going to start over again, brother/sister, God doesn’t do foolish things. You and I can do foolish things.

Oh, we started all over seven church ages, and we came up with Roman Catholics and Greek Orthodox and Lutherans, and Wesleyans and God knows what, Seventh Day Adventists, and Jehovah Witnesses, and Pentecostals, and at the end the great Hodge podge all poured into one.

Everybody talking in tongues and kissing each other. One lady, oh merciful heaven, pshew. You talk an illegitimate house of prostitution. That’s why they’re called harlots.

The church had become a house of prostitution. And anybody can go and get his carnality satisfied with the doctrine.

47

Oh, brother/sister, what are we eating today? I want to ask you a question. Every table full of vomit or do we got something real for a change?

1 Corinthians 13:9

(09) …we know in part, …we prophesy in part.

But what about when there’s no more prophesy left? There’s no more Word left? That’s it.

For when Elijah comes if he does come and we’re here when he comes and he’s got to come so somebody’s got to be here when he comes. It’s going to burn, burn, burn. It’s all over, right?

“Ah, we don’t want that. Let’s start over. Another ten thousand years.” Now come on, see? See where your trap goes?

See, we’re not here to fool with somebody says, “Well, I’m Greek and I can read this and I’m this and I can do this.”

48

Like one fellow he said his character is impeccable. He said my family’s all saved he said. That made him somebody? Some of Brother Branham’s family weren’t.

So let’s dig Brother Branham out and spit on his bones, “Get out of here, you dirty jerk you, you said you’re Elijah the prophet. You’re nothing but a bum. Why before you went away you said your kids weren’t saved. So out, William Branham. Out!”

See where you’re going? See that’s where you’re going. See your tongue will get you every single time. You’ll stand up and be somebody. You ain’t nothing. Now that He’s here we’re less than nothing when it comes the reflections from Sinai.

Sinners in the hand of an angry God. It’s a good thing He’s not our judge. He’s our attorney. Then He turns around being our attorney and steps in the judge’s seat and said, “Well, being the attorney,” he said, “I can’t do anything else but defend you, then to let you go.”

You talk about scattering. Right to glory. Oh yeah. I always have loved dessert because I’ve got a sweet tooth. Wish I had a sweet heart. Ha, ha, ha, that’s coming and I’m not talking about my wife, I’ve already had her. All right.

1 Corinthians 13:9-10

(09) For we know in part, …prophesy in part.

(10) …that which is perfect is come, then that… in part shall be done away.

It’s finished. It’s gone. The Word of God does not cease until Its fulfilled. It doesn’t pass away. Six church ages have passed away and seven is on the verge. See? Under the seventh seal.

49

Now he said,

1 Corinthians 13:11

(11) When I was a child, I [spoke] as a child, I understood as a child,… but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

Now listen! Let’s watch now carefully what manhood is. Putting away childish things.

The 11th and 12th chapter of 1 Corinthians, actually right through from 1 Corinthians 1 to chapter 12 he’s telling you that’s childish things.

“I am Presbyterian. I am a Greek. I am a bohunk.” Who knows?

Brother Branham said, “In the day of the great rider on the range they just look for the blood tag.”

They didn’t care if it was Hereford, or Shorthorn or Angus, or what it was. They looked for the blood tag. It was a pure line. These people are funny.

50

Now listen! Childish things, fooling with gifts. Now I’m not saying everybody that has gifts is fooling with them.

I’m just saying they’re fooling with them according to the prophet, because when he set the church in order he said to Brother Neville, it’s on tape, it’s in the books, in Church Order, he said, “We’ll find out if it’s a bastard child. And it is if it can’t take correction.”

And those people up and left Branham Tabernacle and they went someplace else and I hope this is just a gossip but they say the women there are cutting their hair and wearing slacks now.

You don’t fool around, brother/sister. You don’t fool around. You put away childish things. What are childish things? If and everything but is that Word? See?

Now you’re not fooling around anymore. Now you become a man and at this time you don’t see through a glass darkly but you see a face.

Now if anybody ever been himself face to face with himself, oh once in a while when you know, you examine your conscience, “I faced up to myself.” This is not talking about that. This is when that which is Perfect is come you look in His face.

You’re looking at the revealed Word of God which as Brother Branham said, “Just to think the same Pillar of Fire that revealed the Word to Paul is here… I mean gave the Word to Paul, is here revealing it.”

Now just hold our thought right here because I’m going back to Pentecost. You tell me that that’s Pentecost. It wasn’t. You know why if it is then we got a body ministry and anybody can receive the Word.

And the Word was not given till after Pentecost to the Apostle Paul. This book, this was written after Pentecost. Paul had the revelation for the Gentiles and it wasn’t at Pentecost.

It was the One who was dividing Himself that stood with Paul that gave the revelation and the same One that divided Himself over seven ages with character and gifts and closeness and obedience and all these things is here once more revealing the Word.

51

Now it says right here, “When you see that,” and you’re not guessing anymore, “that means the Seals are open.” But when the book was sealed they handed it to the man and said, “Hey read this.”

Let me see if I can find this in the Book of Isaiah. I don’t know. Did I give that to you the other night?

About chapter 28 or so, somewhere… let me see if I can find it. I can see 25 there, that looks good but that’s not what I want.

And I can see here, yeah, I see also the spirit of judgment is upon the people, all tables are full of vomit.

In verse 9 of 28, it says,

Isaiah 28:9-11

(09) [To] whom shall he teach knowledge? And… [to] make to understand doctrine? Them that are weaned from the… breasts.

(10) For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept;… [and so on…]

(11) For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.

In other words, with derision. The Word of the Lord comes as derision because they just don’t believe it. They say, “Well, come on, that can’t be it. That can’t be it. That can’t be it.”

And they go right back to character and all of these other things which we admit are it under the baptism with the Holy Ghost but the baptism with the Holy Ghost did not bring the Word. A prophet in the Presence of Elohim brought the Word.

Now you’ve got to have the same thing again. And if He ever comes in fullness, see, and we’ve had the baptism for two thousand years.

If He ever comes in fullness it’s only for one reason: Word. Why? Because that’s why He came to begin with. “In the beginning was the Word.” There’s no other reason.

52

Now I’ve got to find it here. Oh yeah, 29th chapter,

Isaiah 29:18

(18) And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.

That’s not the one I wanted but that’s going to happen. I shouldn’t write this down anyway with a big, big, you know, something to mark it.

But anyway the idea is that they hand the book to the man and he said, “Look,” he said, “I can’t read this.”

“Well, tell us what it is.” He said, “I’m uneducated.”

Nobody can open the book. So what happens? At the end time the book is opened by the Lamb. Now that’s the time the redemption runs out.

So the Baptism with the Holy Ghost has run out. See? But at the same time He’s poured everything in till there’s nothing more so you got the stature of a perfect man.

You got Christ standing there one more time. And He which was the cornerstone is now the capstone. So therefore, where are the feet? They’re on the ground.

Now what’s on the ground? The foundation. So now you’ve got it perfect from the feet to the head. Solid Word. Now with solid Word there’ll be a Bride that’s solid Word. See?

And now you’ve got it where like having come from the feet it’s reproduced itself in the head, Word upon Word, Word upon Word, doctrine upon doctrine, precept upon precept, line upon line, here a little, there a little, until there’s no more left.

When there’s no more left He stands here. How else could it be? Because He’s pouring Himself in. Now we’ve got Him standing here, right back to Word, right back to Logos.

Now how’d He come in the beginning? Not at Pentecost, brother/sister, no way shape and form. No way, because at Pentecost He did not pour Himself out as the Word revealed.

It was the Baptism with the Holy Ghost that when the Word came they’d know right away, this is it. This is it. This is it.

Now you tell me people got the Holy Ghost and turn down the Word of the hour. There’s no way. So they’ve got themselves in a bind.

53

Now they’re talking about character and no Holy Ghost. Now they’re talking about Oneness and no Holy Ghost. Now they’re talking about gifts and there’s no Holy Ghost. The prophet said so.

Now I just challenge them to tell me I’m not preaching what the prophet preached. They can go negative all they want. Let them be negative. Let them be negative but don’t anyone around here try it.

You say, “What will you do, Brother Vayle?” I’ll skin you alive. You might have thought the snake would be the only one to change his… Well, I’m not going to skin you but I’ll just tell you that. See, look. All right.

54

Now we were back here… where are we back here? We see… now we got through… we got through for a bit of this… I want to try to find my place now. We got through quite a bit of this in Corinthians and we were over here in Galatians.

Now let’s just go back in Galatians and see if there’s anything I want to see here. Yeah.

Now he said,

Galatians 5:22-24

(22) …the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering [and so on,]

(23) …[and] temperance: [and all these things] against such there is no law.

(24) And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and [the] lusts [thereof].

We don’t deny it. And if there ever should be a time on earth when there is character it should be now in contradistinction to what is out there in this world. So let us understand this one thing, the character had better be of God.

Now Brother Branham said, “Find a Bride of such character that she’ll stand still and listen to the Word.” Now there’s character.

He said, “Find that Bride,” he said, “of such character she’ll stand still in the waters of separation until she’s got those robes.”

Because the Bible said, “You wash your robes,” back in Revelation 22. Now Brother Branham showed what character was.

55

Now look it, let’s face it, we all know this, if God has given us eternal life by the baptism with the Holy Ghost and He has, if that seed that was in that woman at the well came to life, see, by the anointed Word that came to her and there was no seed in the Pharisees so that the Word could… so the Word of life could anoint it and brother/sister, we have the same thing today being seed because we are sons, God sent forth His spirit in our hearts whereby we cry, Abba Father.

Now if that’s the case we will be producing that which is set forth here plus the fact, now I know where I was now. Just got to go back to Ephesians, the 4th chapter. I don’t need too much of it. Verse 15.

Ephesians 4:15-16

(15) …[holding] the truth in love, …[growing] up [unto] him in all things, [not into Him but you’re growing up unto Him] in all things, which is the head, [see the body is coming up]…

(16) From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted [that means every measure is finished, the increase is over]…

56

Okay, back to 1 Corinthians again, 13th chapter, now.

1 Corinthians 13:11

(11) When I was a child, I [spoke] as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

Now the manhood part here is seeing face to face, okay, the full Word of Almighty God.

57

All right, 2 Corinthians the 3rd chapter: it tells you in verse 18,

2 Corinthians 3:18

(18) But we all, with [unveiled] face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord,…

Now what face to face is it? His Face to your face. Now that’s not baptism of the Holy Ghost, my brother/sister, no way shape and form. No way shape and form. Because that’s the baptism with the Holy Ghost is Christ in you your hope of glory; this is Christ amongst you.

Now what are you doing with open or unveiled face? You are seeing Him who is the Word and you are being changed from glory to glory.

Now when did that start? It started under Luther, began growing under Wesley because we’re growing up to a place of immortality. We’re growing to the place where nobody gets the Holy Ghost anymore.

You’re getting to a place where the Holy Ghost Himself stands there, Elohim. Absolutely, we’re getting to that place and you can’t deny it because the Bible said so.

58

Now Galatians again, all right. It says in,

Galatians 4:1-7

(01) Now I say, …the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;

(02) …[he] is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.

(03) Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:

(04) But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

(05) To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. [Now notice, this is the baptism of the Holy Ghost.]

(06) And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, [whereby you cry], Abba, Father.

(07) [Therefore you are] no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through [Jesus] Christ.

Now Brother Branham brought that out and showed you that when the Son which is a genuine son goes through his training, positively is manifested to be that son then that’s the adoption, that’s the ceremony and this goes plumb into the Resurrection.

The fullness of the adoption goes into the Resurrection, every single age has the manifested sons but at the end time there is a group standing here that doesn’t die.

59

Now let’s see those things, sons, in Romans the 8th chapter: Now he said here verse 14,

Romans 8:14-17

(14) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. [Now it tells you right there you’re full of the Holy Ghost.]

(15) For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but [we] have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, [Father], Father. [Now it tells you right there, under this adoption there comes the freedom from fear.]

(16) The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

(17) And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; [Now it tells you right there if you are there under this adoption there comes the freedom from fear.] so be that we suffer with him, that we may be… glorified…

In other words, that’s child training. Child training of Hebrews 12 that Paul wrote.

Romans 8:18

(18) For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

He’s talking about glory. Now the glory started back in Wesley’s age and Luther’s, coming up, up. The greater glory is going to be now.

That’s why it says the Father of glory. The Father of the manifesting of him who is an image.

Romans 8:17-19

(17) And if children, then heirs; …joint-heirs with Christ: [and so on]… [To be]… glorified [with him].

(18) For I reckon that the sufferings… are not… to be compared with the glory which [will] be revealed…

(19) For the earnest expectation of… [creation waits] for the manifestation of the sons of God.

Now it tells you right there what we’re looking for. We’re looking for the completed manifestation on the grounds that nature is going to conform once we have conformed. See?

Now, okay. I wish I really knew this Bible, I can halfway quote verses but I can’t do anything else other than just halfway quote them. Okay.

60

I think we can get it here. Verse 18 again, the 3rd chapter of,

2 Corinthians 3:18

(18) …we all, with open face [unveiled face] beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord,

Now that’s this which coming in. Now remember, it’s a face to face, perfection has come, the fullness is here. Every single person has got the Holy Ghost or is in the last little edge of receiving the Holy Ghost.

It doesn’t matter because nobody knows when the last one’s in, the last one is child trained.

2 Corinthians 3:18

(18) …[they] are changed into the same image from glory to glory,… as by the Spirit of the Lord.

It started back there and now it’s to the place where all in all is here. It’s completely finished. We’re waiting for the manifestation which means we’re going to be changed.

61

Now, it tells you,

2 Corinthians 4:3-4

(03) But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to [those] that are lost:

(04) In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Now right now Christ who is the image of God should shine. Now what is that doing?

Now the image of God means a complete copy, so the presses are beginning to roll at this point, when the image becomes clear, when Christ is fully revealed in His Word, when the Seals are off, when darkness is over, when childhood is over, when manhood comes, when the church is in order, all of these things is going to be done by the Spirit of God as we become unveiled from creeds and dogmas, and the Word becomes plain, then that Word with the life of God begins to work in this flesh until this flesh begins to conform to that image.

62

I finally remember where the verse is.

Romans 12:1-2

(01) I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God,… ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable [sacrifice].

(02) And be not conformed to this world: [All right. Are you ready for it?] but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, [transfigured.]

All right. Now how many of you people are ready to present your bodies today to be transformed? You say, “Brother Vayle, I’d like it but I don’t know if this is the hour.”

See, you’re not going to make it. You’re going to sit here and not make it. You’ve got hopes. You’ve got dreams. You’ve got ambitions.

You want a little more fun like the bunch in Tucson kept saying, “Well, we better get married because the Rapture is going to take place.”

And I told them right to their faces, I said, “You bunch up here, if the Rapture takes place you’ll be trying to grab a woman on the way up.” I told my wife that about her coffee, I’m worse than she is now.

I said, “Momma, let’s face it, when you’re on your way up in the Rapture you’re going to want another last cup of coffee.” I was just kidding. I’m serious. Where do you stand this morning? This afternoon?

By the transforming of your mind, that’s what we’re talking about. We’re not talking about Pentecost, my brother, my sister. You had better have had your personal Pentecost. But let me tell you something. That’s not going to get you there.

This is, because Pentecost had nothing when that Pillar of Fire appeared and began splitting Itself amongst the people and it takes that same One, brother/sister, to bring about a Resurrection.

63

Now it says,

Romans 12:1-2

(01) I beseech you, …present your bodies [alive, not dead and in the ground. They couldn’t do that till this hour,] which is… reasonable…

(02) …be not conformed to [the] world [system]:

Now let’s get this flat, are you ready for it? In the Garden of Eden it was religion. It was religion and it’s always been religion. It’s always been spiritual warfare. It’s always been God against Satan, and Satan against God.

And now it’s come to the place the church against Bride. “Come out of her, my people.”

And when they come out there comes a mixed multitude amongst them. Boy, do they stir us all up, especially the hornet’s nest that I got inside of me just waiting for one poke and the hornets to come buzzing out.

You say, “Lee Vayle, you don’t have it.” I’m set for the defense of the gospel, bird. Let’s get that flat.

You can sit around and pick your nose if you want or pretend you’re a peaceful man but if that’s all you got, shame on you as far as I am concerned.

I don’t want to start a fight but I tell you Brother Branham said, “It’s time when the gloves are off.

And if this message is not worth fighting for and explaining it and doing your dead level best to let the saints of God, the Bride of Jesus Christ know where they stand then I might as well step down and go someplace else.

The only reason I’m not someplace else I guess is I might as well admit the truth I can’t quite make it. Not that I want to leave or anything else. There’s only so much strength that I got and that’s all I’ve got.

64

Now listen!

Romans 12:2

(02) And be not conformed… but be… transformed by the renewing of your mind,

That is literally change your… from the caterpillar to the butterfly, go through the process of metamorphosis which is exactly what it says over here in 2 Corinthians. See? Change.

That word ‘change’ is transform. It’s the same word in Matthew concerning Christ, and Moses, and Elijah transfigured. All right.

65

At the end time when the church is set in order and only a prophet can do it, when the same Pillar of Fire returns revealing the same Word that is the end of Pentecost, but the fruit of Pentecost does not die.

It’s just we keep on telling people, “Look it, character is not what is going to give you the transformed body,” because Abraham, the type was transformed to youth in spite of him being a liar, and making his wife lie. And he even lied after he was transformed.

Now that’s not stretching the type. I’m not putting that as a type. We’re going to go to the Millennium changed and lie.

I’m just telling you don’t get any ideas that even though you’ve been born again and you’ve got character that’s going to do it because the prophet specified the character to stand still and hear a message. See? All right.

66

Be transformed, be transfigured, and it tells you through the mind. Now let’s go back to 2 Corinthians again. So we’re going to look at this thing. We don’t want to fool ourselves.

Okay. Let’s just get her here. I might go a little later on something else.

2 Corinthians 3:18

(18) …we all, with open face [unveiled face] beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord,…

All right. Who’s the glory of the Lord? We know that Christ Himself is beholding Christ, the Anointed are changed into His very image. He’s the very out-raying of God. And we become the out-raying of God.

Now how was He the out-raying of God? In the flesh, my brother/sister, in the flesh, the attributes. Right?

67

Now what attributes is He revealing today which He didn’t reveal previously and He couldn’t through a Bride though He manifested them on earth: “I am the Resurrection and the Life. And he that liveth and believeth in me shall never perish.”

He said, “You believe this,” therefore, you present your bodies a living sacrifice for this hour.

And when you do you’re through with organization. You’re through with every creed and dogma, and the squeeze and the pressure will come down. Don’t worry.

You’ll get squeezed on every side. You will be deliberately misunderstood, just like I am. And if you’re a part of this you will be, too.

So where is it going to place you with your father, your mother, your sister, your brother, your in-laws, where’s it going to place you? Now, where is it going to place you with your kids that you love?

If you’ve got the guts to stand up today and say like I have, “I don’t have a wife anymore. I don’t have a father, a mother, a sister, brother or children anymore. It comes to one thing that’s where I stand.”

You can say what you want, and you do what you want, but I’ve thrown down the gloves this afternoon and challenge you, where do you stand?

68

“Oh, but my dear father.” What if your father was a drunken, no-good bum liar? Huh? What if he’s like Charlie Branham was? His dad booted him out for presenting his religion.

His friends turned him down, and when they found out he had something that no man had and even the historians say, “Not for two thousand years has a man come on the scene like William Branham.” Those that should have known better spit in his face and walked off.

And the Jesus Only, now let’s get this flat, the Jesus Only bunch and I think UPC is that bunch, made no hesitation in saying, “If he’d have been Elijah, he’d have come to us and thank God that false prophet is dead.”

Where do you stand today? Just little insight that you might know yourself. Where’s your father? Where’s your mother today? Where’s your priest? Where’s your pastor? Where’s this?

I’m not asking you to stand with me. Forget it. I should need you to stand with me? And you should need me to stand with you? Stand with Him.

69

It’s the swelling of the Jordan, my brother/sister that takes place. Elisha was right behind Elijah and when Elijah struck the water with the mantle, the waters separated, and Elisha tippy-tippy-toed over. He didn’t do one thing except walk over. It was Elijah did it. Elijah is here today.

Brother Branham said, “The Lord Jesus Christ Himself.” Not a bunch of people at Pentecost. Not someone standing up and voicing some opinion whether the prophet was right or saying something.

It was taking every Word the prophet said as Paul said, he said, “Did the Word of God come to you people from Pentecost?”

Now he said, “You’ve had your private Pentecost.” He said, “Each one of you. There isn’t a prophet among you no doubt, and if there’s a prophet let him acknowledge that I’m telling the truth. And if there’s spiritual people, truly people born again amongst you, although you have a mixed multitude here,” he said.

He said, “Some follow Peter,” and they sure did. Some followed Apollos, and they sure did. And some followed Paul.

70

He said, “Forget it, follow Jesus.” He said, “I didn’t die for you. He said, “Did I ask you to be baptized in my name?” See? He said, “Shame on such nonsense.”

And he turned around and said, “But I’ll tell you one thing,” he said, “if any true gifts among, any true gifts, and any truly gifted person, let’s get down to where truly baptized with the Holy Ghost, they will admit,” he said, “that what I say is the commandment of God.”

He said, “Not what you say, or what anybody else says, but what I say.” He said, “I am the authority.” Now where did he get it? Pillar of Fire.

And he said, “The same One here,” Brother Branham said, “that gave the Word is revealing It.”

That did not happen at Pentecost. And it did not happen when Paul was filled with the Holy Ghost. It happened after Paul was there and because he was a prophet.

And let me tell you flat, William Branham though full of the Holy Ghost and the William Branham had a mind that went blip, blip, blip, blip, blip, conscious and unconscious, and he could see visions and go into a trance and though his mouth was made a special to say special words.

I don’t know about that he himself said it was a dream. Maybe it was… There he was, like Jeremiah in his mother’s womb completely formed in a special way to be a prophet, and I say to William Branham, “Ha, prophecy, old boy, prophecy. Have a vision for me, Brother Branham.”

He comes right back, “You have a dream for me, Brother Vayle.” Prophet and me are no different. No different at all, no different at all. It takes God.

71

And if God isn’t there I don’t care how well a prophet is made, any more than if you don’t have gasoline in your car, I don’t care if you got a beautiful, what do they call the nicest Rolls Royce? I don’t think they’re so tremendous anyway. I don’t like Jaguars or anything else. I don’t know what I like in a car. Fap.

Go back thirty years ago, or forty, some of those cute little old cars they had, you know, like the old Nash, had the rumble seat, that’s the prettiest car I’ve ever seen in my life.

Or one of those old Hudson’s with a nose like that, you know, it was way longer than that. Why you could put a tractor inside the nose of that thing. But you have no gas in it so it sits there. Yeah, sure.

And you’ve got an airplane but somebody stole the sparkplug and a thousand savages are racing towards you, in one of these wild Western sort of deals, but this is for real.

“Oh, you’ve got an airplane, why don’t you go somewhere? You go out somewhere. You’re a pilot, why don’t you go somewhere?” Sorry, no sparkplug.

That’s exactly the way the prophet is without God. He ain’t going nowhere either. Now that’s the way Paul was.

And William Branham, prophet of God that could say he was the prophet of God stood and he said, “How wonderful to know that the same One who gave the Word to Paul is here revealing It.”

And why is He here? He is here because you are full of the Holy Ghost, because you’ve had your Pentecost, and we’ve returned to original Pentecost, original where the real God that gave His life for two thousand years, a little modicum to each one, is standing here right now to say, “Look it; it’s Resurrection time.”

The same One that they saw back there is the same One we see. It’s the same One that changed their lives through revelation, is the same One now changing our lives through revelation. But people don’t want to stand up and say…

72

Let’s read it in Hebrews. Come on, let’s find out what’s incumbent upon us in Hebrews. Oh, it’s only, what? a quarter past three.

We’ve got two and a half hours to go out before it’s communion. I ain’t going to preach for two and half hours though because I’ve news for you.

Hebrews 6:1

(01) Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on to perfection;

Now hold it. You’ve got to leave something. What are they? Not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works in the faith towards God.

That means right at this point there’s no more doctrine of dead works and faith. Forget it. No preaching. It says so. Not even faith towards God won’t work.

Repentance won’t work. Why? Because it says perfection, forget it. I read my Bible right as far as I know, maybe these guys read it better than I do.

73

But I don’t believe because Brother Branham said this… When William Branham went out he had a vision. Remember?

The Book kept running, opening up in the 6th chapter, and in the vision he saw a man in a white go out, and the man in white was throwing seed all around the place.

Then a man in black followed behind him, sowing more seeds, and this was Hebrews 6, not Matthew 13, the final sowing. You leave it all.

Why? The tables are full of vomit. This is misunderstood. The laying the foundation of repentance is misunderstood. It’s all gone. Faith towards God, all gone. Doctrines of baptism and the laying on of hands, all gone.

And the Resurrection of the dead, now hold it, we’re not even resurrected. The Resurrection hasn’t even taken place. Says, forget it. Why? Because you won’t need it. Perfection has come.

Now what does that mean? Very good, let’s find out.

1 Corinthians 15:20-23

(20) But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept.

(21) For since by man came death, by man came… resurrection of the dead.

(22) For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ… all… made alive.

(23) But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his [Presence].

Now it tells you right there when He’s present, the… dead come up. All right.

74

Let’s find out about it. 1 Thessalonians chapter 4: We’ll get back to Hebrews again. 1 Thessalonians chapter 4: Paul speaking here concerning the living and the dead. Verse 13.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-14

(13) …I [don’t want] you to be ignorant,… concerning them which are asleep,… [Now he said to those that are going to be at the time of the Resurrection.]

(14) …if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring [forth] with him.

In other words, God’s going to bring forth the dead just like He brought forth Jesus, glorified resurrected body. Transfigured, now He’s going to do it. It says He’s going to do it.

1 Thessalonians 4:15-16

(15) For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the [Presence] of the Lord shall not [take pre-eminence over them that] are asleep.

(16) For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout,…

Now the very One that’s going to bring them out of the grave is going to do our changing.

Now Brother Branham said, “It was the message.” Is that right? Okay.

75

Let’s go back to 2 Corinthians, see, you’ve just got to keep going back and forth until not that your mind gets weary and you just say, “I just turn Brother Vayle off, or I just stop thinking.” You better think today because this may be your last chance.

See, a little while ago I told you, I’m not guessing as far as I know something is on the verge of happening and I keep holding back and holding back as though I can stem a tide.

Now what I’m trying to tell you is this I started when I am preaching when he said to me, “Listen, he didn’t only come to die, because his death didn’t do it, he had to go down and get them.”

Now that’s the turning towards the Resurrection, my brother, my sister. And if you’re in doubt as to what I’m been trying to tell you the last few weeks, I’m trying to tell you this, as far as I know whatever talks to me is letting me know that the corner has been turned.

How long I don’t know but we’re into the Resurrection period, somehow before God I believe it. There’s something personal here for me which I don’t understand myself but He gives… that any gift I have is for the people.

76

Now listen! It tells you here we all with unveiled faces beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord are changed, transfigured, the Lord descending with a shout transfigured by the Word. That’s not Pentecost.

The Word came after Pentecost to the Gentiles, but if you’re truly original Pentecost show me where they had the gifts in meetings and out of order.

Show me where they had anything but that Life and that’s all they depended on. Let’s get back to original Pentecost.

Not the Pentecostal stuff we’ve seen through the ages, let’s get back to the original when He stood there and it was the Giver of Life Himself starting the whole thing and they didn’t even have the Word.

The best Peter could do was stand up and declare that that One that died according to the Old Testament was that One that was risen. But it took Paul to come along and lay the whole thing out. That’s not Pentecost.

Now they won’t get what I’m saying. I think if they hear this tape fifty times they’re not going to get it, I might as well shut my mouth. But I ain’t shutting my mouth. I’m not about to.

77

Let’s go back to Thessalonians again.

1 Thessalonians 4:16

(16) For the Lord… descend… with a shout,… [Now that’s not said to be the voice either. That is literal voice; it isn’t. It’s Elijah.]… the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Now it says there is no pre-eminence given to the people standing here. Why? Because the same One that raises them is the same One that’s got to do something with His Word. “Lazarus, come forth.”

Bring the name of very single star that lies there, and everyone will come forth to shine in this glory with glorified bodies and that same Voice that starts in a shout is bringing us face to face with Him who stands there.

1 Thessalonians 4:16

(16) …the Lord himself shall descend from heaven…

Oh, they want to put that in the physical return when He stands up there. But Brother Branham said, “It was the shout.” And he said, “The shout was the message.”

Now listen and let’s get this flat, if it’s the physical return and He’s up there, is He going to take a megaphone and shout a message, “Hey, this is the message, oh Bride. This is your Jesus up here and he is giving a message?”

Oh come on, let’s get down to where it’s… see how stupid it is?

78

I want to hear their answer. They choose to misunderstand what I preach. They deliberately choose to misunderstand. Now let’s get this flat, I want them to tell me how it’s done.

Brother Branham said, “It was His message.” Then is William Branham going to come back in the midair and he is really Jesus Christ? He said he wasn’t now.

Now if a prophet really is Jesus Christ and he lies to you, who needs him? If he tells one lie, he’ll tell another. But I didn’t know Jesus Christ could be born of Charlie and Ella Branham, because if He could be then you could take this kind of a man and not only kill him in a car wreck, you could crucify him. What good would his blood do? Somebody’s messed up and we’re not messed up.

1 Thessalonians 4:16

(16) …the Lord himself shall descend from heaven…

Come on down with a message, and that word ‘shout’ is ‘kalusma’ which is a military command. Well, let’s go a little further.

79

Let’s go to 1 Corinthians 15: and the military command,

1 Corinthians 15:23-27

(23) …[and] they that are Christ’s at his coming…[Presence]

(24) Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to the God, even the Father; …put down… all authority and power. [And He’s present; He’s got to do this.]

(25) For he must reign, ..until he hath put all enemies under his feet. [Now you better be careful what person you’re talking about here? And check with your Psalms. Let’s read a little further.]

(26) The last enemy that shall be [put under his feet is] destroyed is death.

(27) For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is [left out] which did put all things under him.

So is God saying, “I’m putting all things under myself, except myself?”

No, Jesus right now, great high priest, Melchisedec, he climbed on his Father’s throne and God says, “Starting right now with my Presence that I’m here to raise the dead I’m going to start to put all things under your feet. This is your hour of pre-eminence.”

The marriage supper, the Bride, the whole thing. When everything turns loose and starts screaming and nothing can stop it because the Lamb is on Mount Zion so to speak spiritually.

80

Now listen!

1 Corinthians 15:27-28

(27) …he hath put [on what he said he has left out] which did put all things under him.

(28) And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also… [be subject, in other words, subdued isn’t right.] the Son… himself unto him [who] put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

That word is still from the shout which is military command which means in a military order. The commander of the Host of Israel stands here to lead us over.

And when He does He brings up each one in its own order, the seventh church age comes up first to be with us.

As Brother Branham said, “You can’t recognize any other age.” John looked and he couldn’t recognize anybody here because that wasn’t his age that he saw.

When number six comes up, and five, four, three, two, one, but before that we have to give Him pre-eminence, before that we’ve got to see Him face to face so we can begin to get our change.

Before that He has a Word for us, and that Word of life in our bodies causes the cells when they already are starting through revelation, so when they come up the atoms in our bodies begin to change around the living Word of God when we have our own Resurrection, so to speak.

Tell me, does that take place up there? That takes place here. Oh yeah.

81

When He’s up there, my brother, my sister, in the air so to speak, it’s all over. The One that’s in our midst now will become incarnated to us when He goes up just ahead of us lifting us up and taking us, and there is that body that he slipped into to reincarnate Himself and become King of kings and Lord of lords.

No, nobody denies character, nobody denies gifts; nobody denies anything. It is these people who willfully, willfully and I mean, willfully because it is willful.

You say, “Brother Vayle, I don’t believe that.” You don’t believe the Bible. You’re too nice. I love you but you’re too nice.

Where it says, “If we sin willfully after we’ve heard the knowledge of the truth,” so you see your niceness didn’t pay off. There’s a time to be nice. God’s nice.

He’s sweet, He’s love, but the same prophet said, “The One that is here in mercy and grace turns that throne into judgment and when He appears again and He’s appearing now it will be in judgment on those nations that forgot God.”

Yeah, willful, back to Hebrews 6.

82

Listen to me, it says, Resurrection and eternal judgment. We won’t be in that either. Eternal judgment means the final judgment, no recourse, lake of fire, or “Come my blessed, on my right hand, inherit the kingdom.” No recourse!

You know, you don’t like to go to a sale that says, “As is,” and find you were took. You don’t like the sale or the contract that says, “No recourse,” then you won’t like this either, so get right today. Because there’s no recourse. Eternal judgment.

“This will we do if God permit.” What if God didn’t permit? He didn’t permit. What’s He going to finish? At the last enlightenment, they’ll taste the heavenly gift like they did the grapes of Eschol.

They actually found themselves in a position of the realization through experience of that immortality in the Millennium and they did, yeah.

“Taste the heavenly gift, partake of the Holy Ghost, taste the good Word of God, the powers of the world to come, having fallen away there’s no more chance to ever change your mind.”

Okay, turn me off if you want to turn me off. I’m going to needle you in a nice way because you see I’m not negative, I’m positive. I’m positively right. You bet your life.

You better say, Amen because I am right. I kid you not. “But even unto this day when Moses is read the veil is upon the heart.” Why? Because their minds were blinded.

83

“Now the Lord is that spirit where the spirit of the Lord is there is liberty but we all with open face beholding as in the glass the glory of the Lord are changed into the same image.”

See, it all comes together. My, it’s hard to find these things here, I’m missing it.

“If they shall fall away they cannot change their minds because they’ve crucified the Son of God, put him in an open shame.”

We all with open face unveiled face through the changing of the mind. Huh? Come on, come on, are you convinced? Look, if you’re not you better get convinced now.

“Be conformed not to this world but transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

Now you see God’s got to do it for them to get them out of the ground. God’s got to do it for us. But these people turn away, they turned away.

Now it says, it says here, having fallen away there’s no more chance ever to change your mind. And remember the message to Laodicea is change your mind.

Now how can you change your mind except He’s there to change it? Well, you’re to the place where you don’t even believe in the Resurrection anymore for you.

84

When Brother Branham preached ‘Marriage and Divorce’ I went away because I was confused and I said, “So what?”

That sure wasn’t for Lee Vayle I can tell you flat because he’s married; he ain’t going to get divorced. That’s why these guys are all messed up and muddled up.

Oh, I’m going to tell you something Resurrection’s not for me either by the grace of God although certainly I would like to have both to get out of here.

You might as well get that flat and if I can without jumping off a building. You know what it is.

When you know what’s over there, the grass is greener, the skies are bluer and everything is the way that it should be in the first place, why do you want to stick around here? Come on.

Now you say, well, Vayle, you’re kind of down in the dumps and you’re morbid like because you think you’ve seen it all. Look, I haven’t seen nothing yet but I’m going to.

So what I really want to see, the rest of the stuff, forget it. Tickets around the world, look I’ve had them, you can have it. Anybody want you it, you tell them you’re Lee Vayle, and you can get tickets.

When you get there, play the tapes. I don’t care what you do. That’s the truth but… he said, “You don’t have to go to Africa.” I want to go to Africa. Not lots of time to go to New Zealand. I think I’ll see it on the way up.

85

Look it! It says here, “No more repentance. They’ve crucified the Son of God afresh. Now for the earth that drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it.”

Now we’re earth. Bring forth briars, sickness, disease, bad eyesight, bad hearing, bad everything, rotten nerves, indigestion, stomach problems, liver, gallstones, you name it, filth, sin, degradation, crime, corruption, anarchy, that’s all it is.

“It’s a bunch of filth and corruption,” Brother Branham said.

Now this earth that drinks in that rain because the mind is a part of it, see the spirit is part of the mind, drinking it in, it’s a little bit of an allegory, you might say, a little bit of a simile or something there. All right.

86

Seven ages, seven rains. Now it says here, what’s it going to do? Bring forth briars, or is it going to bring forth herbs? Something for which you were made in the first place.

What were you made for in the first place? His image! Adam was in the image of God. Broke the image. Now we’re going back. Now it says right here how it’s going to be done. The Word’s going to do it.

Now listen! We’ve had a lousy Word for almost two thousand years, a misapprehension of Jesus, misapprehension of God, misapprehension of Word.

The Bride is the loser in all three counts. Get her back to her virginity. Get her back to the Word. Sure.

All right. Let’s find out.

87

Oh, I’m going to let you go right away now. How long have I been preaching? Oh, don’t even ask that question. Pass the plate the second time. Open the door or do something.

You’re going to kill me here before it’s over. I have a bad enough time going down to Beaumont and dying down there without coming home and dying.

Listen! “When times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord, even he shall send Jesus which was appointed, proclaimed in advance unto you, but the heavens got to hold him till the restoration of all things spoken by the mouths of all the holy prophets.”

Now what was spoken by the prophet Paul? “The virgin’s fallen.” What was said by John? “You’ve left your first love,” she’s got to come back and she will come back.

“I will restore,” saith the Lord. I’m going to restore her. See? When she’s restored, there comes the Rapture. So there you are.

88

Now if I’ve confused you then you’re meant to be confused. If I’ve helped you, then you’re meant to be helped.

So it took a long time but I want you to see this, brother/sister, the Baptism with the Holy Ghost is the answer to a changed life to the character, to the gifts, to everything that’s in that Word but it is not the answer to the Resurrection.

It is a stepping stone to it. The answer is God has to do it when it runs out, and the baptism with the Holy Ghost runs out.

As Irenaeus said, “When the last child of God is, the last seed is brought in, they’ve come in,” and Brother Branham added correctly, “When the last one is brought in and child trained,” because they’ve got to be child trained.

Now where is the child training coming from? He’s got to become a man. How does he become a man? By seeing Him face to face, by putting aside all these things of the past and coming up to the present and when you’re man enough to stand up and say, “Look, Lord, here’s my body.”

Not like these bunch of kooks that put on fancy gowns like the Seventh Day Adventists or the rest who got up on some hilltop and they said, “Now He’ll come tonight.”

No, it’s presenting your body now, it’s before the cock crows you’re ready to go. I’m a part of it. Presenting your body now.

If it’s ten years down the road, presenting it now. If I miss even this and go into the death I know I’m going to come up again. But it’s now at this hour, you present yourself.

You can’t present yourself with your creeds and your dogmas and looking back all the time and wondering about this and wondering about that. Present your bodies today for glorification, I mean really present them because only one thing going to change you and see where that takes you.

To see where that takes you because the rest doesn’t take you there, this will if anything’s going to take you. The other won’t do it, my brother, my sister.

I don’t care because seven ages or almost seven have gone down and died so the baptism and the blood didn’t do it. It will get them out of the ground.

Only in this way that it makes them candidates to be brought up. They don’t come out by themselves, only God raises the dead.

And Paul said to Agrippa, “Listen to me, I stand here in jeopardy. I’m hated because I believe God raises the dead.” Stand up in this hour, the hour of the Resurrection, that’s what it’s all about.

Come on, let’s rise.

Gracious heavenly Father, we know of ourselves we’re not only nothing, we’d be less than nothing but it’s because of You, Your Presence, O God, we know that we just absolutely are standing in the last hour. I might not be here, Lord. I know that.

I understand that, absolutely, but I know I’m in that hour because Your own Word has said, “When you see this happen and that happen, you know that at that hour is near, you know that absolutely this is that day, this is that hour,” and Father we know that generation shall not pass away. How can a generation pass away if there really was Elijah?

Merciful God, if there’s a shout yet to come, if there’s this, if there’s that, we don’t understand, something has been said wrong somewhere if the prophet meant only that there was a shout yet to come, then we’re wrong. I don’t know how it’s going to come. I’m completely confused.

I’m already gone, but Lord, whatever said at that time through him the supernatural when that rainbow appeared, and I believe that was absolutely Logos, Elohim in a form to be discerned and seen, saying through his lips, “Your message shall forerun that absolute second coming even if John personally did it, it will take your message,” and now the message is doing it, if that’s the shout.

If this isn’t it then we’d just be in utter confusion because what would come? What would come to supersede? Well, we believe this is it, Lord.

We believe You’re here. And we present our bodies a living sacrifice, absolutely, Lord, these are our bodies and You can have them to change them. You can have them Lord, to change them. We’d like to be changed anyway.

We’re changing as it is and it is going down to the grave, so Father, the other change will be so much better if we had an ounce of common sense. Not that we got it, but we can have revelation and that will do it.

So help us as we present our bodies as a living sacrifice, knowing that Resurrection is coming but we won’t be in it on the grounds that we die, and eternal judgment we’re not going to be in it either, we’ll be a part of it sitting in that throne by the grace of Almighty God.

And Lord, help us to when we do take off the gloves to take them off in a way that isn’t out to get anybody’s blood which it isn’t, not out to get anybody’s blood today but I’ve got to stand for the truth, Lord.

I don’t believe that I’ve been virulently to anybody and being malicious or been derogatory or anything else, not that I can’t feel anything like that nor do I feel like crowing over something as though I was a crowing rooster, or something stupid. I don’t feel like that at all either, Lord.

But I believe what I’ve said and hope I’ve said it in such a way that if there’s a record the record is clear, that we don’t deny anything that is attributed to the baptism with the Holy Ghost but we refuse to attribute to the baptism with the Holy Ghost which is what we have of You when You Yourself Lord will be here to raise the dead.

I will not take that credit from You. I will not take that glory from You, Lord. I’ll stand here and believe You’re here to raise the dead and to see Brother Branham come out of the grave and see Daddy Bosworth.

I believe he’ll be a part, if not this, the sixth, whatever it is. There will be those come out and then we’ll stand here and what a jubilee’s going on and pretty soon all over the earth they’re coming out and then pretty soon we’re changed and we’ll meet You in the air. Whatever that means but we know that we believe absolutely that that’s what we’re into in this hour.

So Father, I just pray that everyone here in divine Presence will go into a state of repentance in this hour, the renewing of the mind. The last opportunity to stand with It today and realize that here we go, we’re standing with that Word, and when that Word goes, we go with It.

Oh, blessed be the name of the Lord. Let the Word come to life, and that Word of the hour come to life in every single one of us and we shall not die but live. Yes, Lord, we appreciate that for today and we thank You for Your goodness, Your mercy.

Now Lord, as we just separate for a little while and then come together again for the emblems that signify Your death till You come and we take it anew in the Millennium, Lord, may it be a time of rejoicing and a reality.

Father, we believe it. We’ll not step aside from reality. We believe that which is perfect has come.

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

Let’s just consider ourselves dismissed and we’ll get back here after a while for communion service, so the Lord bless you.
