Omega Reflection #01

[Opening prayer missing from recording.]

After you hear me, which would be, my Father hears it. They did not. What I believe to be in this hour.

So, we’re speaking on the Twentieth Century reflection, we’re using First Century Word, in 2 Corinthians 3:1-18; 2 Corinthians 4:1-7;

That’s a lot of reading.

You know, that’s a tremendous statement, this fellow says here, “Look, I’m not sufficient, but I got a God who is.”

Many people are only too happy to say, “I am not sufficient.”

And then, put God in the same category. It’s not fair. It’s not right, it’s not fair. I like Paul.

Now if you wonder what the ministration of righteousness is, it exceeds. You don’t have to actually go very far in your Bibles.

If you’ve got a Schofield, you look at the right-hand corner of the next page, verse 21, “For He has made Him to be sin, it’s a sin offering, for us that knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God, in him.” That’s the great glory, to be reborn.

“For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.”

In other words, don’t try to compare them. Don’t ever get missed up with the law. Don’t ever get into legalism.

And I know you hear me strike these things, and some of you kind of cringe. Look, I’m not here to clobber you. I’m not here to clobber anybody.

God knows I am too broken up, and too near the end of the trail. I’m not interested. I’m trying to declare my soul, and get rid of anything within me set myself free.

So, I don’t have any responsibilities for anybody, that’s all I’m trying to do. Paul sets it out here, there is no way the law has any hope for anybody.

Anything that you would ever do, anything you will ever think, anything you will ever try, will do you no good. It just doesn’t have it.

Whatever it did have, it lost. In the excellence of what is here,

Now, see this shows people, it should make you scream and rejoice, with Paul. What a tremendous hope. What a tremendous hope to have it taken out of our hands.

I keep preaching, I’ve done it for years, this is my only mainstay in this Message; He’s here to do it. Then let Him do it. Now, I can’t yell at you and make you let Him do it. There isn’t anybody can.

No way can they ever see this glory. Because, the veil of legalism is over them. Let me tell you something: If washing of pots and pans; you know blood sacrifice identified under your hand of a small animal; could get you off the hook.

Like David, you were an adulterer and a murderer. And it got you off the hook. Looking forward, how much are you off the hook tonight, if, this has been accomplished? See?

You can’t deal, in any Word that God ever said, anybody was to do, it’s only believe. Faith is your substance. The substanding of any expectation God may put in your heart, of any deep calling to a deep. It’s got to be faith.

And we’re not going to mix up anything either, about faith produces works. Naturally, if you’re born again, you’ve made a change. We’re not getting mixed up in any of these things. Keep the issues clear.

Now, very few people can ever say that. This man was vindicated

In other words, God left that man weak enough to know, that if anything was ever done, he never did it. “I won so many souls to Christ.” Hogwash, you did.

One soul, then was watered, God gave the increase. See? Whereas boasting it’s excluded. Now, I’m going to read the preface of this, which is chapter 2, beginning at verse 14.

Now, you might not be familiar with this passage as to what it actually means. I wouldn’t either, except for the late Dr. Ironside who, preaching some famous sermons on the Book of Romans, brings to our attention, that Paul is likening himself to a great general.

Now, notice he says, “Thanks be unto God, which always causes us to triumph in Christ.”

He said, “Look, I am never defeated. I am a general, and I am coming forth riding upon my white horse, and before me there are slaves that I have taken in my conquest, and they will be set free. And behind me are slaves taken in my conquest, and they will die.”

You get the picture?

Paul, a man standing who knows what he preaches, because, it’s the unadulterated Word.

When he gets up there, and preaches that Word as our own prophet did, and men anointed of God, there are no ‘ifs’, ‘ands’, or ‘buts’.

It is triumphant, and there will be those who receive, and go on to liberty, and there will be those who die in their sins.

Now, Paul is telling these things here in the next chapter. This ministry. And he’s preaching in such a way as he must preach, because, the New Testament has no precedence in mythology.

The precedence is in the Old Testament of law, Moses. Never mind the other prophets because they spoke grace. Moses, did not speak grace, in the complete sense of a perfect description.

He preached it in symbols and signs. Which, were carried out as the dove dying, the heifer dying, the bullock dying, the ram dying, the sacrifices.

Washing of water, pots and pans, all those signified something. So, Paul is using a precedence here, because he cannot go to mythology.

I was surprised to find that the early Christian fathers, went to mythology. They talked about the Phoenix bird, which was supposed to have been born in Egypt, goes into Asia Minor, lived his life and dies. Or rather, just before he dies, he goes back to Egypt.

And there he dies, and is left in rocks. And there’s a worm inside, and the worm goes up and puts on feathers, and comes back to Asia Minor. And they say that’s a picture of the resurrection.

You notice that, the apostle didn’t goof like that. Paul went to the precedent. To the Old Testament here, he’s talking about Moses, and you notice, it’s always a comparison to Moses as the Book of Revelation, they sang the song unto Moses and the Lamb.

Now, let’s read again here. I’m not going to read all the verses, but start with verse 6.

Always triumphing in it. People wonder concerning Brother Branham, was he fake? Was he real? Was he a failure? Was he a success?

He was real, and he was a success. We’re not in some limbo here, as some people want to think.

Now,

Which is the rebirth. Be something unparalleled. Certainly, because you become the righteousness of God, through God Himself.

That’s exactly this Message, when this Message came on the scene, there wasn’t any other Message. Then, don’t bring your hogwash from other religions into this Message.

I’d sooner have a Roman Catholic born into this Message than almost anybody, or a heathen.

Because, when you come out of Pentecost, the way I did, you got to somehow get down in here and divest yourself and purge yourself.

That goes for every Baptist, I won’t mention any more, lest you get mad at me. But, who cares? If you like, be my guest. I’m going someplace, I’m not staying here.

You’re looking at a man that talks as though he knows things. I don’t know much, but, I know a few things.

No man will ever take what God gave me. I’m not a yo-yo on a string either, for anybody. Don’t you ever get that in your mind. I’ve got you guessing. Guess on.

In other words, it doesn’t matter what anybody says, I’ll preach this Message, and go to heaven believing It, or go to hell because I believe wrong. Look it, there is no glory that remains.

You think there will be? The shaking coming on this earth, when every church is ripped from its’ foundation, and every organization burns.

The glory of man that brought only what? Perversion. Man never solves the problem. Man can only create problems. I didn’t make that up. Somebody else made it up. I don’t know who said it, but, it’s sure right though.

Say, “You’ve got plainness of speech.” Now, he said, “Look, not as Moses.,” They put a vail over Moses’ face. Sure. Because, they couldn’t look steadfast, they couldn’t gaze.

To the end, it was abolished. The vail never came off until it was all over. There’s another rending in here however, which, I don’t know that I know that much Greek, to say it’s true.

But, it’s suggested to me by scholars, that they couldn’t stand the thought that, that glory would fade. So, they put a vail over his face, when the glory did fade, they didn’t even know it.

I don’t have that kind of religion tonight, my brother/sister. I never got that from William Branham. I didn’t get that kind of stuff. Yup. This doesn’t fade. No. It doesn’t lose its’ glow, its’ warmth.

Now listen, read further;

All right.

It says, from what you know about Moses, the law, his vail, there is a great lesson I’m going to teach you. And it will be a savor unto life or death, which way you take it. That’s what he tells them.

He said, “You can take this and not die, you can turn it down and die. Now he says, “The lesson lies in looking at the vail over Moses’ face.”

Now, we’re going to go back to,

And you say, “It doesn’t rub off.” And it does rub off. If you’re rubbing against the right one. The Originator.

All right. Moses went into the Light, and the Light went into Moses. Like Brother Branham said, “He went into the Pillar of Fire, and the Pillar of Fire went into him.” But, that wasn’t it at all.

The Light that Moses went into, struck the face of Moses, illuminating it. The Light struck the face of Moses and bounced off, causing the face to glow.

Because, that’s what refection is all about, a light hitting it. The people could not see the Pillar of Fire, it’s Light, apart from Moses.

The Light that struck Moses’ face, the Light struck Moses’ face, and the Light bounced back, so his face glowed.

And the people saw It. It scared them so, Moses put a vail on his face. Now, the Logos was vailed in Moses, and Moses was vailed to the people.

He was God to them. But, he was only one of them, so they couldn’t take it. They couldn’t take it. Even Miriam couldn’t stand him. See?

That Word was veiled in him, and they couldn’t take it. Why? He gave the Word to them, with a vail over his head.

Once he left them, to go back again for the Word afresh, he took the vail off. The same thing happened over and over again.

Now, please watch something here, back in Exodus 34:29-35, which we read. You see, it was Moses with a vail over his face. Exactly right.

Over here in,

Now, in verse 14, it’s the Israelites with the veils on their heart and minds.

Now listen, what is the difference whether you put a gunny-sack over Moses’ head, or, you put a gunny sack over your own head?

You won’t see the light. You don’t receive the light, because blind is blind. No matter how the blinding is done. So, you see it doesn’t matter.

Moses could put a veil over his face, which he had to at that time, because the people could not understand, they did not want it.

They could not receive him, as one amongst them. See? And that’s one of the keys of Brother Branham kept forcing at us, and was showing us.

“The prophet Lord your God raised up of brethren, like unto me.”

One amongst the brethren is never ever taken to. “A prophet is not without honor, save his own country.”

And they couldn’t stand the fact that God is using a man. Israel couldn’t not stand the fact back there, that he was just one of them. Who is this anyway?

Miriam said, “Why I changed his diapers. I’m the one who put him in the river there. I’m the one that got him to Pharaoh’s daughter. I’m the one that got his mother to nurse him. I’m the one that did it all.”

And she prophesied and danced. And banged on her tambourine, climbed up and down, around the Red Sea.

She had a great time, and God gave her leprosy for all her troubles. Because, she spoke against the Lord’s anointed.

But, they couldn’t see it because he was a man. They couldn’t see Jesus, because He was a man. And they couldn’t see William Branham, because he’s a man. And they won’t see you and me, because we’re men.

And all men stink, except Jesus. Because He wasn’t that kind of a man. He was not born of sexual desire. Neither was He simply created like Adam and Eve. He was a special product, of the Logos becoming flesh.

For He reduced Himself, God literally, instead of using a light, or taking an angelic body, literally, caused Himself to reduce that manifestation that He wanted, into a sperm and an egg, and let the chemical factory of the woman’s body bring forth Him.

In the likeness of sinful man, but, He wasn’t a sinful man. Never had our full nature, no way. Blind is blind. No matter how the blinding is done.

In verse 15, It says going on right at this very hour; in verse 16, It says nevertheless let the heart cry out for light. Cry out for the need for light, and turn to God, as when under Moses, when they knew what they had wasn’t working.

And needed God as never before. See? Down there, they knew what they had wasn’t working. But, when God sent Moses, they still didn’t believe it would work.

Now, Moses vindicated, they still didn’t believe It. Moses, full of the Word, they still didn’t believe It. But, years down the road, they said, “We sure believe him”, but, they don’t.

Never did, right to this day, the veils are on their minds and their hearts. Then, the veil will fall off, when they begin to turn to the true Word. But, that time is not yet.

Let’s keep reading, 17 and 18. We’ll put it together shortly.

Now, you notice in there It says here now, the Lord is that Spirit, and It tells you plump and plain, God is a Spirit, there’s one God. And we’ve been made free.

There’s no veil on God. God has come into plain view. There is no vail on us. And tonight we’re about to be manifested. God has come into plain view, the prophet said so.

And we are about to be manifested as sons of God, and therefore, come into plain view when manifestation in its’ fullness comes in the resurrection, and this is that hour for it.

There are no creeds and no dogmas. What we have before us is pure God, pure Logos, pure Word. Pure, everything in purity.

Now, they had what we’re talking about here, in the Ephesian church, in the First Age.

Which, as Brother Branham correctly said, “For Paul delineates upon throughout all the Scripture here, that they’re looking for a Resurrection and a Rapture. But, it couldn’t take place, because the Bride wasn’t in.”

Now, at that time, 2 Corinthians 11:4 sets in, where you understand what happens, she lost her virginity. But, in the evening time, it shall be Light.

And “The Sun of righteousness, shall rise with healing in his wings…” Now, It tells you who’s going to do the healing. And it’s a healing of the breach.

The breach, between God and man. It’s going to be healed at the last time, and it’s going to come at the evening time, when it shall be Light.

So, therefore God, will rise with healing upon His people with Light. Now, we talked about Moses, the Light was there and Moses went into the Light, and the Light went into Moses.

And Moses’ face came forth with Light. And they could not stand to look upon him.

Now, in verse 18, It says we’re looking in a mirror. Now, Israel looked at Moses, now watch, as the Light from Moses’ face struck Israel, they turned and ran, and would not look back at Moses.

Now, that’s exactly what happened. Had they gazed at Moses, the same Light that Moses reflected would have struck them, and reflected back and struck Moses, until the Logos and the prophet and Israel was all one great scintillating, reflecting Light.

Now, tell me I’m wrong. You’re wrong.

All they had to do is watch, and light will strike the object, and when it strikes, it bounces. And the same Light from Moses’ face have they stood there, would have begun to strike the people.

And the same Light would had gone to the same Source, making God and the prophet and Israel, one tremendous spiritual, spiritually enlightened people. For the enlightenment was of God.

They’d have walked in the knowledge and the glory of God. And they turned It down. That’s what we’re looking at tonight. The Father, the Logos, and the people, one.

All in the Light as He is in the Light. What fellowship, they turned down. You wonder why there’s not much fellowship?

There never will be, until the Bride’s all in. Or they …?… illumination is requisite, and will that sweet Spirit can come into the Church. And you’ll have fellowship, one with another.

Right now, the desire is to fight, and itchy to fight. The Light is not striking back and forth. For the Light from the Logos on Moses, would have struck everybody in the congregation.

That Light is striking back and forth. They’d have been walking in the Light, and having fellowship. That was under Moses. Nothing compared to this hour, my brother my sister.

Now, listen carefully, stand before a mirror at night, switch off every light in your room, you are there, the mirror is there, but, there is nothing there to be seen.

No light, means no reflection. I don’t care if you have a mirror to look into. No light, no reflection. Now watch carefully again.

Turn on the light, but, turn on a light that does not ray or shine itself upon you. Let me turn on a light in a room, I’ve been doing this all week, I know what I’m talking about. Because, I’ve got to do my exercises.

And in that hall there is a light, and I turn it on and several feet down in the room there is a mirror, and I know what I’m talking about. It’s exactly what you studied in school in physics, minor physics of course.

The light must shine on you before there is an image in the mirror. I see the mirror, but no light is shining on me.

So, I still can’t behold anything. Turn the light on me, the light hits me, hits the mirror, and I’m beholding an image.

Now, the light in my hall, is right about here in the hall, and the mirror is down where Daniel is, and I can stand right here and that light hits me, and in that mirror I see my image very clearly.

I pass that light into the darkened room, my image is blurred. Because, the light is so diffused, there is not a proper image.

Now, that’s physics. You know that as well as I do. So, turn on the light that hits me, hits the mirror and I behold an image. All right.

The mirror is the Word. You stand there to get that Word reflect you. You want your image in the Word.

You want to see yourself in the Word, because, that’s what you’ve been taught, and you’ve been taught right. Because this is God’s Word. If you’re not in there, somehow, forget it. See?

All right. But, if the Light of revelation does not strike you, you won’t ever show in that Word. You aren’t there. Why? If He is Word, we will have to be, or we never were in Him.

Now, just keep that in mind, if you go further down the road, because, I’m not finished by a long shot.

But, if it is the true Spiritual revelation that strikes you, no creeds, no dogmas, no misplacing, no misinterpreting, no veils, you will see Christ form in that Word. We’ll get something very startling out of It.

You’ll see Christ formed in that Word, before your very eyes. And the Light that God reflected off you striking that Word, and that makes you and the Word, and God, all one.

Now, you don’t believe that. You see, here’s where I stand, and I’ve been trying to preach all these years here, for the last two years to you. I’m clearing my record tonight, let’s get this flat.

What I have said, I will stand with. When the true revelation hits any individual, and you’re beholding in that Word, that true revelation that comes off of you into the Word, you and the Word, and God are all one.

More one than you think, because, I’m not through preaching . That makes you with that reflected Word off you, into the image of Christ.

For the image of Christ, is what comes back. Did you hear what I said? Now, you’re… never mind, I’ll read It to you.

2 Corinthians 3:

I am standing before the Word. Unveiled… the Word unveiled. Spiritual revelation, it is the mirror, what you hold up to it, is reflected back.

Now, don’t get any crazy ideas. Just go back to physics class.

You stand there, the Book… Seven Seals have been opened. The Light strikes you. The definitive revelation, with God unveiled, and you unveiled.

Remember, the prophet handling that Sword, rent the veil from top to bottom, and the Holy Spirit is loosed for the first time in two thousand years.

And the Light strikes, and what image comes back? Your image does not come back. If mine came back, I will blow my brains out. I would leave this church tonight, and I would guarantee, I would commit suicide.

I’m going to tell you something: His image comes back, not mine. You see what I’m preaching? I’m trying to get across to you all this time for two solid years now.

Do you understand what I’m saying? I hope you do. I hope you do.

I cannot make you understand. You cannot make yourself understand. There is no way my brother, my sister.

If you were in the beginning with Him, you understand what I am saying, an eaglet screamed, or hearing a scream, it is there, it never comes to a chicken.

Not saying anyone here is a chicken… You stand there, and what image comes back? If yours comes back…

You say, “Well Brother Vayle, you mean to tell me then, that I’m so like Christ?” I never said that.

I’m talking of the glory which excelleth. Something that God did. That in spite of you, when the Light strikes. Him here. That’s how God sees you.

And by faith, you see yourself. You’re under the thralldom of sin, like anybody else. I haven’t got time to preach that sermon. Maybe another time.

Don’t think I don’t have my troubles. Don’t think I don’t sweat day and night because, I put myself in many a trap. But, no one has to trap me, I simply trap myself.

Carelessness, stupidity, wantonness, cupidity, everything in the human way. I find myself under a thralldom. And I find the law that condemns.

But I stand under the reflected Light, of the Shekinah Glory Itself, that shone over the Holy of Holies. That was over the Arc of the Covenant, where Aaron’s rod budded, and the scroll was kept.

And the manna, miracles, vindication, living daily food, life eternal and the Shekinah Light was shining upon it.

There, because of the Blood, we can enter in, through the Blood of Jesus Christ, with the Shekinah Light shining today, and that reflecting off of us brother/sister, goes right back to this Word.

And what comes out? Christ. Made in His image. “If any man be in Christ, he’s a new creation, old things are passed away, all things have become new.”

You’re just waiting now for your redemption of your body, because, you’ve been sealed in by the Holy Ghost. And everything which was in Christ as an attribute, is now in you. See?

Now, Paul said he had that ministry. Man, come by like Brother Branham says, “I’ve got a ministry.” He said, “Those Seven Seals opened to a Bride. Everything to put her in a Rapture.”

Then, stand back and say, “It better do this, it better be that.” Why don’t you just shut up. I’ve got more vindication then all of you put together here. And I’ve got nothing!

Stand beside William Branham, I look like worse than an idiot. Like an unhatched chicken in an egg that’s rotten. Alongside of an eagle that’s raises up over the wind a mile high, and screams in the air.

Now, if you think you’ve got something to touch me meet me after church and tell me what you’ve had in your life. I’m not afraid. I’ll match you, dollar for dollar in the things of Almighty God.

And I’ll come out a million, not a million miles ahead of you, all put together. I’m not lying to you. I’m not boasting, I’m not bluffing.

I’m just trying to make a simple statement, and get it across to you. There’s nobody here, that can produce an image of Christ outside Christ. See? Substitution, identification.

Paul said, “I’ve got this ministry.”

All right, look. One; the Logos came to Paul with the revelation. In 2 Corinthians 2:14-17 he said, “Some will get it, and some won’t get it.”

The Light that struck Paul, struck them, and they saw themselves in the revealed Word. And God answered back. So, they were manifested Word. Written epistles.

A transformation sets in, now the transformation is in,

That’s the responsibility, someone that comes on the scene and say, “Hey, I want to tell you something, I’m riding forth as a great general. And in my ministry, this ministry there are those that get set free, and there are those that are condemned to eternal destruction.”

William Branham comes by, and he said, “I want to tell you, anyone that believes this Message, is going to make it, the rest go to the lake of fire.” Not, the lake of fire, but, they get destroyed.

But, that’s the description that distinctly says, “Cosmos, will be annihilated.” I don’t care what the fundamentalists says. I’m not interested in his hogwash.

Prophet came by, and gave us the vindicated truth. It’s something for a man to say that. “The Brides’ got everything to put her in a Rapture.”

You know a lot of people don’t believe that. They don’t believe that the Seals did it. What did you do about those Seals, but listen? Why don’t you write a book? Huh?

What would you like to do to justify yourself, to make yourself honorable? How would you like to get changed? Well, change yourself, add a cubit to your stature.

I’m rough tonight. I purposed to do that. I make no apology. I make no apology. And I’ll not be forced into making an apology. Not by anybody.

Tell me, what did you do to bring yourself here on earth? You’ll do the same thing, to become immortal. It was done for you. Now, you were not happy for what was done for you, anymore, than I by being here.

You will be. “For My people, shall never be ashamed.”

People look at us, and they say, “That bunch there.” Brother Branham kept telling us. “That bunch there. That bunch there.” Yes.

Those who have the nerve… What was that word he used? Not temerity… signifies courage, but he had his own word for it.

Stand up, and say, “Yeah.” I stood in the Light, and the Light struck. And I went to the Word. What did you see? I saw Christ. Whose image was it? Christ’s? No, it was yours.

Look in my eyes tonight, and come close to me. Look so close you can see a reflection in my eyes. Whose reflection do you see in my eyes? Your own. Look in this Word.

What comes into your eye? Christ. Reflection, transformation shifting. Why? Because, it was the truth, if the gospel is hid, it’s hid to the lost. The god of this world has blinded them.

“We preached not ourselves, but, Christ Jesus, Lord.”

Our selves your servants for Jesus’ sake, when God commanded the Light to shine out of darkness, has shined into our hearts to give the Life of the knowledge of the glory of God, in the face of Jesus.

Yes, that’s in there, and it hits a mirror, that’s what comes back. Well doesn’t it? You see why I strike legalism? Legalism has do’s and don’ts. Let’s do this, let’s do that.

I told you years ago, I was a kid preacher. My handwriting was beautiful in those days. I practiced fifteen minutes a day. I wrote a very good pal of mine, his name was Jay Kellin.

His landlady saw it and said, “Hey your girlfriend wrote your letter.”

He said, “That ain’t no girlfriend, that’s a boy.”

Well, she said, “No boys write that pretty.” If you practiced fifteen minutes a day like I do, you’d write beautifully, now, I can’t read my own writing.

But, even though I wrote very well, I knew, when I bought a typewriter, and typed sermons, marvelous. Legalism. I’m not saying that there are certain things we must… we should shun.

In the sense, though, hey, we must not do anything. I’m not saying that there isn’t, certain measures of grace. Such as prayer, meditation, fasting once in a while, no more than three days at a crack, unless God really leads you.

Certain things that people can do. But, I’m going to tell you something brother/sister, you’ll never do a thing about this.

See, it’s either going to be done for you, or it’s not going to be done. A transformation sets in.

Now, it could have been a Resurrection and a Rapture, in the day Paul said this, but, it wasn’t time.

All right. Come back to the Twentieth Century. The Logos in Revelation, shined on our prophet. The same Light that struck the prophet, struck us, as it shined from Him.

Where did you get your revelation, if not from a prophet? What I can say about him, because, it’s just talk. But, with him and see, what a difference. But, do you know what made me that way?

Every time when he stood there, I never could understand, until in this hour, that every time that Brother Branham stood there and he said, “We’ll ask Him to come,” and says, “He’s here.” I never saw the Pillar of Fire. But he did.

And suddenly, a hush came on the building. And you wanted to cry. What made you want to? Logos. That Light.

Every time he began, I couldn’t help but cry. There was no way I could stop myself. Sanctified, hallowed Presence of Almighty God.

I’m going to tell you something: we were identified with that One. Same God, that Light that reflected off of Him, hit us, and reflected right to the Word, even Christ.

And we saw we were part of the same revelation. Yep. The same revelation of the prophet, who had the revelation of God. The same Word that came to the prophet, shone on us.

That makes God and the prophet and the children all one. You, are the children of the prophet.

He said, “You, are my kids.” That makes them all one. Children of Light. And in them, can be no darkness at all.

I told you years ago, I was twenty-two years of age preaching. I was outside, in a town, at a little house out of town, on the front lawn, I bemoaned as you’d bemoan, and we still bemoan our carnality.

Our utter disgust for ourselves, unless we’re fools and idiots. “Our knowledge and our flesh, dwelleth no good thing.”

And I told you how I was telling God what a mess I was. And the voice said, “Call that not common or unclean, that God has cleansed.”

And I very sweetly answered back to God, “Thank You, Lord, that’s very lovely, but You see I know myself.” Took forty-five years to get it back.

To stand here and say, “Yes, I know that I’m not afraid in His Presence.” I have no feeling of guilt, when it comes to the Logos. When it comes to Him.

Sure, I’m guilty about myself. I know my mistakes, my fails, my foibles, everything else. Same as you know yours.

But, I want to tell you something brother/sister, there’s got to come a day, because it is that day, as it was in Moses’ day, as it was in Paul’s day, as it is today.

God doing everything in three’s, you’ll notice. That we’ve got to be one, with that One, who came to the one who came to us.

Now, that’s not a conundrum, that’s simply the fact, that we are one with God, who came to the prophet.

Because, it’s the same Word. “That makes it all of Christ,” as Brother Branham said. That makes us the Bride and the Father one, even as the Father and Son are one.

That it, makes it as Jesus said, in John 17:21-23, “That they may be one, as we are one. I in them, Thou in Me,” and all in each other.

As when Moses stood there, and they could have stood until the Light begin growing in a reflection back and forth in a complete glory of God.

Passing from the vertical to the horizontal, until it was one ball of fire as it were, and the glory of Almighty God passing over into a kingdom. But, they turned it down.

That makes this our day, the completed circle of reality. That the Logos was in God, and we were in that Logos. And we are now all manifested. Well, was Moses manifested?

They could’ve been, if they’d of just, said Moses, “Something is going on here, keep that Light shining.” Yeah.

Even a guy stupid as I am, can get in the pulpit and say when I’m through preaching there are three things. One of which will happen to all of you sitting here.

You’ll rejoice and say, “Praise God. I believe Him. I’m going to have the same thing.”

Or, you’ll squint your eyes and say, “Why has it happened to me?” You’ll get scared.

And the third one will say, “Who does He think He is anyway?”

I’m not outside the Word, my brother my sister, to preach this way. I’m not outside the Word at all. I am preaching the Word. And I’m preaching for one reason.

To get you to understand what I am talking about. That I need no further explanation. That neither I need to explain, or have someone explain for me.

Do you understand what I am saying tonight?

Is this coming across? Do you understand? Or, shall I get a mirror up here, so, you’ll understand it more? You’re not stupid here. You are not little babies anymore.

I am talking to adults here. Engineers and trained people, men of intelligence. Get a mirror. Look at it. Turn the light out. Then, turn the light on in the corner, and see how good you feel.

You get a flashlight, turn a spotlight, and turn that light on nobody but you, and watch what turns in the mirror.

And don’t turn your flashlight on the mirror, or, the light will come back from the mirror, and hit you and then reflect.

Now, stand under this Word. “The evening time it shall be Light.” That Light hits you, and this is that Word. What comes back? Christ comes back.

His image formed in you, from glory to glory. It started back there when the church began to rise from the dead under Luther. Justification, sanctification, gifts.

Get out of Pentecost! And anything to do with it! Get into the Light tonight. Stand with one faith.

I’m looking at… don’t worry, …?… I’m not preaching stupid, up here. I’m preaching what I know. See? That makes God and the prophet and the children are one. Making it all of Christ.

Making the end time prayer of Gethsemane come to pass. That makes this in our day, the completed circle.

Simply waiting now, for the manifestation of the first fruits, because, manifested sons has its’ fullness in the Resurrection.

Light has risen in the western sky.

Look at verse 18 again.

We’re not veiled by creeds and dogmas. Oh, brother/sister, let me tell you, when that prophet came on the scene, he said, “I challenge you to bring twenty-four of your worse cases.” Every creed and dogma fell.

When he went to India there, he said, “All right, this man is blind from looking at the sun. He’s a sun-god worshiper, now, you ask your god to heal him. You ask your god to come here.”

Why, there was the strangest quietest bunch you ever heard, before that they chattered like a bunch of chipmunks, chatter, chatter, chatter, like before the great eagle. Because the eagle had seen the vision.

Now he said, “If I pray to my God, in the Name of Jesus, and this man is healed. What happened?” And he was.

I’m going to tell you. At that minute, every creed and dogma and religion, mythological, otherwise, was swept to one side.

And, William Branham came here, with the resurrection ministry of Jesus Christ, Christ doing through him, his flesh.

Let me tell you something: let’s get this flat, God is in the prophets. And if our bodies are temples of the Holy Ghost, then, William Branham was God’s flesh. Whether you want it or not.

But, that didn’t make him Jesus Christ. The instant God said, “I want you, William Branham, you’re My flesh. ”

That did not make Him the Blood of God. It made him borrowed flesh, but, God’s own flesh, sits on the Throne tonight, waiting for him to come back.

We undersell William Branham, too many times. Because, we want to steer too far away. Fap!

That’s what’s wrong with Canada, you’ve got it up there. Though one guy can’t get out of his shell, though he believed this Message, and tried to preach it, but, he’s screwed up in his thinking.

“No, don’t make William Branham God.” He’s not even ‘as’ God. Isn’t he? Isn’t he as God, then, you tell me, what is? Fap, on that, crudded-up theology.

If Moses wasn’t God to the people, tell me who was? They couldn’t even get to the God that they talked about. And when they saw the light reflected, on the face of the prophet, they ran.

They couldn’t stand still, for the Light to begin moving back and forth, and the symphonic power of Almighty God.

Oooh, brother/sister, I’m waiting for that day. If I don’t make it, who cares? No problem, I’ll get it anyway, he told me. I’ve got no problem.

Now listen, verse 18 is the last look at the Twentieth Century. For the first time in two thousand years, the creeds, the veils of creeds and dogmas, have been ripped asunder.

Blind eyes in Laodicea, have been anointed. The Light struck, and we went to the Word, and are now, in the process of immortality. As we have born the image of the earthy, we are in process. “Vayle, you stink.”

You wait until I haven’t had a bath for a few months, I’ll really smell some good odors. Come test me some time, just to who I am. Phfft! What have you got to offer?

“Brother Vayle, if we saw this, and that, and the other thing.” Start naming them. Go ahead, come on.

You’re sitting there, I’m up here, I’m making a challenge tonight. Bring up the blackboard, list things down what you’re looking for. And I’ll show you, it’s been in every age. And they didn’t get it.

Do you understand what I’m saying? Brother Branham had the power of life and death.

I saw him go ashen white, back and forth like this. I’ll tell you, I can’t even do it. Swaying back and forth. Suddenly he shook himself, and he said, “I give you your life.” 2 Corinthians 2: made public.

Do you hear what I’m telling you Christian friend, tonight? You’ll not be looking in my eyes much longer. I’m tired of playing games.

Let me tell you now, we are in process, if you don’t believe it, that’s your business. That’s your business. If you choose to have faith in yourself, that’s your business.

I don’t have any faith in Lee Vayle. I don’t have any faith in you either. You have nothing to tell me. You have nothing to give me. I’ve nothing to tell you. I have nothing to give you. It’s been told, it’s been given.

Paul said, “I’m that great general.” Alpha is Omega, another great general comes by, and says, “I’m the Savior of life unto life, and death unto death.”

He said, “I am with this Word.” People don’t like that. “Why, he’s only a man.” That’s right. Because, it’s back to Moses. …?… Cruddy little jerk. …?…

They said about Jesus, “Who is he anyways, some kind of a bum, for all we know.” Who’s William Branham? I hope you’re beginning to see what the prophet preached, if you’ve never seen it before.

You say, “Why?” Because, I see it, as I’ve never seen it before. Little phraseology that didn’t mean much means everything to me today. Blind eyes in Laodicea, have been anointed, the Light struck and went to the Word, and the process now is immortality.

“As we have born the image of the earthy.” That’s true. The image of the earthy.

And Eve was taken from man, after all other in the Kingdom of God had been formed, and formed her so she might fall. Because, it was not complimentary to God, that a son should fall.

And God said to Adam, “You’re going to leave Me, because of her.” Because of sex, and sex opened the door, to every sin. And everybody is born in sin. You’ve got the image.

But let me tell you, something is happening. While this old image, for us who are getting older are going down to death, there is a new image that is being formed.

And as I live here, and I have no reason to believe at this point that I will die, though I’d like to get out of here.

Because, I’m not too happy with… life’s never have been that happy, so I think it’s a great wonderful thing. But it is really. Let me tell you something: something is going on.

We are in the process of the image of the heavenlies. It is not tomorrow. Yeah, I know you’re thinking I’m wrong.

Because, you say, “Brother Vayle, the resurrection is tomorrow.”

I’m not interested in the resurrection. What God does to bring them out of the grave, he does in the Bride because, it is the Bride that brings about the Resurrection.

Not that she’ll call them out of the grave, don’t mistake me there. I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about Shout! Message, living.

The vindicated prophet, the identified Life, the Logos. Striking, through vindication. The people checking their eye. And that swirling Light begins to strike.

Hitting, men and women, and they stand there before me, and they look… they look just the same as Abraham did, that time perhaps it was night when he went to bed.

And, the last look he had of his wife, she was old and wizened, and she looked at him, and he was old and wizened.

The next morning, they were back to the dew of their youth, when they were first married, perhaps nineteen and sixteen. Nobody saw the change, but it was going on.

The very minute that great One had said, “This is that year.” And something began to happen.

Let me tell you something brother/sister, something is going on. The creation of that heavenly image, it is not tomorrow, it is now. I want to read to you.

The Unveiling of God 64 06 14

[209]  So, …in the old denominational [age, the] traditional veil has been rent, from the Word of God, so It can be manifested! You see what I mean? The tradition says, “All these things are past.” Let It soak a little bit, “The things are past.”

But in this last day, that traditional veil has been rent apart, and here stands the Pillar of Fire. …Here He is, manifesting the Word for this day. The veil is rent. 

Now, the world, still they don’t believe It. No matter what, they don’t see it. They don’t see It. …It wasn’t sent to them.

Now people are going to stand and say, “That’s not grace, that’s not love, that’s not nice.” Shut-up! Don’t you ever quote …?…. I’m a savor, of death unto death, and life unto life. 

[210]  Remember, the Son of God was not revealed to Sodom; two messengers (were). That’s right. 

[211]  But, this, God Himself in human flesh was revealed to Abraham, the Elected. And watch what He done to reveal Himself. And now Abraham knew, when He knew what was in Sarah’s thought behind Him, …called Him Elohim! Thy servant…

[220]  The old saying, “The days of miracles is past.” The walls is torn down! Jehovah still stands in full view, manifesting His Word, the unveiled One. That’s right. Notice. 

[221]  The Gentile church…

All right. Let me tell you something: suppose God stood before a mirror, what Light would be hitting Him, to hit the mirror to bring Him back? His Own Light. You understand now?

If His Light hits you, what’s going to come back? Don’t, don’t… don’t… listen, don’t try to get worked up. Don’t try to figure things, don’t try to… to say, “Oh we’re going to have a better church here, by doing so and so.” Elect your boards.

Come on, who gives a rip? I don’t care. Put up the seats and put in plush pews. Get on your plan and try some other things. Ain’t, going to work kiddo.

Set things in order until, everybody is tippy toe, this, that. Go ahead! How’d you get here? I asked you, how’d you get here?

Did you bring yourself into existence? Where’d the baby come from? How are you going get here? I’m tired, I’m nervous. It’s over. You’re hitting, and you’re getting the brunt.

I wish to God, they were all here. I’m cleaning my skirts for the last time. Do you understand what I am saying? I don’t need anybody to explain, I am looking at you tonight, all of you.

I’m looking all of you in the eye. Do you understand what I am saying? Do you understand what I am saying? If you aren’t… if you don’t, ask me a question. Because, it’s over.

I don’t look for Brother Branham to come back and open the Seventh Seal. I don’t say he couldn’t.

But, he said, “They’re open.”

[221]  Notice. The Gentile church has also been blinded from the veil, after it’s been tore off and showed God, the ecclesiastical veil. How? By veiling the Word in human being again…

Who is this Moses? Who is this Jesus? Who is this William Branham? Do you know that the Pentecostal UPC in Minneapolis, American Bible Institute, has a special class to defame William Branham?

I may tangle with one, or persons, pretty soon, down there in Cincinnati. I feel sorry for them if I do. He’s never met him, he’s never heard him, so what does he know? What does he know?

You know the kind of men that traveled with Brother Branham? One is an internationally known pervert, a homosexual.

Another, famous charismatic man, had all the …?… his own wife, had him traced by detectives. And Brother Branham one night said in Canada. “Shame on you, for sleeping with that blonde last night.”

He said, “Branham I’ll have you mind your own business. I’ll do what I want.”

And listen to a garbage piece like that, about a man of God. Yes, he was only a man. Yeah. He was only a man. I’m glad God became a man.

Let me shock your little puritanical sensibilities. If I told you why I admired Brother Branham so much, I told you already. But never told you the details.

Because, he was a man. …?… He wasn’t teensy, weensy, nicey, nicey. But, he was nice. He opened car doors for ladies. He helped his wife. He helped everybody, loved everybody. Yeah. God’s Word, in a human being. Oh, they hate that! But, if you’re born again, what’s it to you?

[221]  …That’s exactly what Israel failed to see. If there’d been some Angel or something, [they might’ve] believed it. But not being it could not be an Angel, it would have to be a man. Amen.

God can’t break His Word. In the last days, it has to be the same things again. (See?)What blinded Israel? That Man. “You’re a man making Yourself God.”

What do you think of Paul? “I’m the savor of life unto life, and death unto death.” And William Branham… I saw him; stood there and said, “I have the power of life and death.” 

Don’t tell me he couldn’t use it honey-child. You don’t know him, like I know him. Don’t tell me, I was too close to him. I don’t need to see squirrels created .

You just tell me how you can wrap yourself twice around a cord like this, and me watching it, and that cord suddenly is no longer wrapped around him.

You tell me how it’s done. I don’t need to see squirrels, why do I need to see squirrels created for? I saw something just as great. I saw greater things too.

[221]  That’s what they killed him for. They did it, because the Message came through a Man, and not an Angel. See? God can’t change His way, change His Word. He said He changed not. See? Notice, promised! And the Gentiles are just as blinded…, as Israel was because, (what?) the veil. God veiled in a human being, (God) blinded Israel. 

Notice, as ever blinded one. [It’s always blinded one, what’s he trying to say] One, It will blind; the other, It will reveal the Truth. It’ll close the eyes of some, and open the eyes of others. [We in Him.]

Now listen, this is the part that I’m going after.

[242]  We in Him! Then we, being in Him, we are still veiled to the religionists and professors of the world…

Now, let’s face it, we’re actually, veiled ourselves, by our thinking, when we don’t let our thinking go and see this. Do you follow what I said? 

…See, our Glory that we have and enjoying, we are still veiled to them outsiders. They think we are “crazy, a nut.” See? See? That’s right. But we who are in Him in Christ, [baptized] into Him, we are partakers of this Glory. See? But not on the outside; you’re still looking in, denying It.

[243]  So now we are invited into Him, to be partakers of all that He is. We’re invited into Him, which is hid to unbelievers, by the veil of human flesh… [And that’s what gets us, and that’s what bugs us. See?]

In other words, he’s telling us, I don’t care how deep they look at you, they simply never will see the Christ. You can’t approximate Him.

And if we try to, we’re going to muff it. Because, I want to ask you a question: If you were back in that day, how would you feel if He walked into your temple and threw your nice guys out, and beat them out with a rope,.., a whip made out of rope, and boy did it sting.

You just get yourself blistered with those tiny bits of hemp in there. And you’ll know what a real blister is. And don’t tell me they were a bunch of scallywags, and robbers and thieves. They weren’t cheating the people.

It is said in the Word of God; “if you live too far to bring your sacrifice, you sell it, and buy another one.”

You make the proper money change. And that’s what they were, doing God a service without His will.

Because, here was the Son ready to die upon the Cross and take away all these things away, and they said, “This is the gate to heaven.”

How would you feel if someone came and ripped up the pews, and did all those things. Unless you had a spiritual insight from somebody up on high, or somebody, somewhere.

You’d just take a club, and you blast in and say, “Hey, hey, …hey, hey you could use a whip, we can use a whip.”

And Jesus used a whip , and they used a whip on Him. I couldn’t take it. No way. I’d say, “What are you looking for?”

Let me get it down to nitty-gritty. I’ll tell you what you’re looking for. We’re looking for the Word of promise for this hour, and it’s in Christ. That’s what you’re looking for. It’s what God said.

And now, let’s keep reading here.

[243]  …They know that Glory, they read of It, It’s in the Word here, “of Glory of God” and things like that, it’s just a word to them. [now watch] To us, it’s a manifestation! See? It is no more a word; it’s a reality! Amen.!

Now, that’s what I’ve been trying to get across to you. But, I didn’t want to say it, I wanted him to say it. Because, you’ll take it from William Branham, when you won’t take it from me perhaps.

Now listen:

[244]  God said, “Let these be light,” that was the word. But now there is light. It ain’t the word; it’s the light. See… [what I mean?] 

[245]  Now it isn’t just written Word to us, it’s reality. 

You see what I’m saying? We’re here, we’ve arrived. I don’t care how you feel. Doesn’t matter how I feel. That has nothing to do with it.

Look it, did God phone you up, back in 1933? July 10, and said, “Tomorrow at three o’clock, the seventeenth person being baptized by Brother Branham, I’m going to come down.” He didn’t?

Well golly, I can’t figure God out. For not being so nice to these guys. Because, He should’ve.

I want to ask you a question: Did He ever, ever call you up and let you know anything? Did he ever ask you advice? He hasn’t asked me either, so don’t feel bad. Many times, I ask Him, He won’t even talk to me. That’s my fault, that’s not His.

He said, “Nobody knows that day or hour.” The Lord descended with a Shout. Not said to be His voice, but the voice of somebody else. And Sis. Meda, I told you last year, she told me.

I said, “Sis. Meda, did you see that?”

She said, “No, I didn’t I always did what he told me to do. I bowed my head, but she said when it’s over I said, “Bill, you know, that was your voice I heard.”

Who said, “As John the Baptist foreran the first coming, so …your Message shall forerun.”

He used William Branham’s voice, but in the first person, God was speaking. Or was it a voice from Heaven, imitating perfectly the prophet’s voice? You know God can imitate anything.

He could imitate if He wanted to, a snowflake falling, even on a bonfire. He doesn’t imitate, He simply does. What if God’s voice to the people was William Branham. It certainly was.

And It still is reality. See? This is what I believe. In my own feeble way, in my banality, vulgarity, messed up humanity. It’s not a written Word anymore. It’s real.

Once, it was the Word, It’s not the Word anymore. Look, doctor give me a piece of paper, and it said, “Take this to the druggist.” I give it to the druggist, he gave me medicine. Not word anymore, it’s reality.

Every mystery runs out. Word runs out. But, every Word, in the beginning in God, must have an ending in God. As God manifested because, an Alpha and Omega, I said it here, I do it there. Reality. Reality.

[245]  Now it isn’t just a written Word to us, it’s a reality. We are in Him. Now we’re enjoying [Him]. Now we behold Him. Now we see Him, the Word. Manifesting Himself. It’s hid, out there, because (why?) It’s veiled in human flesh…. [It’s still veiled.] 

[249]  We’re inside of Christ. Now, as then, all true believers see Him, the Word of promise of this day, openly manifested. [But listen, how do you see Him? Because the light struck you.]

Brother/sister, let me ask you a question: when all Israel, at Jerusalem saw Jesus on the great day of the feast. What good did it do them? twelve only, perhaps, and one of those is the devil.

Look, what do you really want to see? Little kid says, “I want to go to the circus and see the elephant.” Now, if that kid’s got any ‘bedunkem’ at all, he doesn’t want to just see an elephant, he wants to see himself riding the elephant.

I’m going to tell you something brother/sister, I don’t want to see Jesus, just to be seeing Him, I want to see Him, because I’m a part of Him. Or I don’t want to see Him. That’s what we’re talking about tonight.

You know, He can be seen and He is seen, He’s seen through manifestation proving He’s there. And He’s seen by revelation in the Word, as the Spirit reveals It.

[245]  We’re inside… Now, as then, all true believers see Him, the Word of promise of this day,…

See, they missed it there. The world doesn’t see it. What is the Word of promise in this day? “For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a Shout.” The gates of hell against the revelation.

Now listen, that’s what I’m going through, and you’ll be going through it. And I’m bucking. I admit it, I’m bucking. I get anxious, and I am anxious. I’m getting angry and I am angry. I’ll be honest. I’m not kidding you any.

If I thought I went through hell a year ago, I’m going through double hell right now. I’m just simply telling you, so don’t step on my tail, please. I warned you, before God, I’m not kidding you.

Because, it’ll happen up one side of you and down the other. Because, you’re looking at Lee Vayle. And he ain’t nothing but nothing. It’s come to the place where he’s ready to explode all over the place.

So, don’t try anything. I’m not going to try anything either, by the grace of God. I’m trying hard to keep myself down.

I’ve only got one hope, that’s looking at the Word of promise. He’s here. And if anybody is going to do anything, He’s going to do it, or it’s not going to be done. It’s openly manifested.

Brother Branham said, “Moses’ message, wouldn’t do when Jesus came, any more than, Noah’s message would’ve been when Moses came.”

Remember a few Sunday’s ago, I took you to back and showed you there was a message that Paul preached, ‘Christ, Him Crucified?’ That’s over. He’s risen amongst us, to raise the dead. Oh yeah, that’s a big difference.

Brother/sister, you want to go back, that’s fine. See? I’m not arguing with you.

I’m preaching in desperation, that you’re going to catch what I’m saying. Even if it’s just mechanical, because, the mechanics have got to come before the dynamics. Prove it! You bet I’ll prove it!

Let there be light! That’s mechanics; light came, that was dynamics. …?… Getting charged up now. Glad I came to preach. Wasn’t going to, but I’m glad I came. Worth a million dollars, just to see something stirring within.

The Light that fell off of Moses’ face, but they said, “Put a veil on your face, man can’t take it, put a veil on.”

Listen legalist: put a veil on. Now, don’t you dare come around here with that nonsense! Bring It across, before the wrath of God hits you.

[249]  Now, as then, all true believers see Him, the Word of promise of this day, openly manifested. That’s a big word if you can get it.

What’s open? What’s William Branham got? What different …?… What’s this, what’s that? Oh, it’s very simple honey, he had “Thus Saith the Lord.”

“Oh well brother, I’m sure many Pentecostal’s have it.” Well, I’m sure, no Pentecostal has it. God’s not a fool, I’m not a fool, and you’re not a fool.

When he said that prophet comes in the name of the Lord, the thing comes to pass. You hear him.

Then if anyone on a street corner, can preach a street corner message, and has ‘This Saith the Lord’ from a chintzy, short-skirted, bobbed-haired floosy woman preacher. Then God’s so ‘goofed- up.’ Don’t bug me, if I’m ‘goofed-up.’

“Suffer not a woman to preach.” A woman gets a vision of Christ, she goes preaching.

Whew brother. I know, my wife’s got a cousin in Norway, you know their word for ‘fruit’ in Norway, is ‘frukt’. So, we had an interpreter that day, all he talked about was ‘frukt.’ Phfft.

So, I talked about prophets. Got back at him. Because, he followed a woman preacher. Apostolic faith, dishonorable woman preacher. True believers, in that Word see God openly.

When the veil’s rent, God stands open for you, manifested. See? God manifests in order to do this, our old denominational veil, must be rent again.

You say, “Brother Vayle, you preach tough, but, I have to admit, you’re right. But, I’m having trouble.”

Just keep ripping at the old veil honey, what do you think I’m doing? You don’t think for one minute, that I’m completely out of danger interpreting what the prophet said in light of what I used to know.

Oh, I wish to God, I’d been some goofed-up Roman Catholic, with no knowledge of anything, a Greek Orthodox. Or, a heathen out in the sticks. Rather than come to this Message.

Interpreting everything, in the light of my present knowledge. That’s all anybody can do, unless God gets ahold of you. It’s hard. You got to keep picking away. Just keep hammering.

There’s a flaming sword my brother/sister at our disposal tonight, in the prophetic Message. To keep ripping at that old veil. To keep ripping at it. Grace will stand, but neither eternal security or legalism will stand. No way.

The veil’s rent and God stands openly before you manifested. Now He said so. Was that man, using a figure of speech? No! No sir! No sir! We said, “Now we behold him.” We behold him.

[250]  In order to do this, our denominational, traditional veil must be rent again. In order to really see what It is, you’ve got to come out from among that stuff. See?

You’ll never do it; they’ll keep pulling that veil before you, every time, “Oh, there is nothing to That.” But here It is written, and here It is manifest,…

In other words, he’s telling you flat, God backed him up. You show me where God backed these other people up? He doesn’t back me up. I don’t need backing up. Great Caesar’s ghost, why do I need backing up?

If I preach what he preached, and he was backed up, that’s enough. If you proved a theorem, you don’t have to write on your test, “I’m going to prove the theorem, so I can prove this question.”

You say, “Theorem number nine, proves this.” And you go on. What’s that got to do with this? Everything. It’s a proven thing. The prophet said it.

[251]  Now, what if a fellow who refuses to see the sun, and say, “Oh there I know God said, “Let there be light, but there’s no such thing,” [I’m going to the basement] I’m going to refuse to see… the guy’s crazy. There’s something wrong with him. 

[252]  …Something is wrong with the man or woman who can see the promise of God see It manifested, and then refused to believe It. Because, the denomination pulled the veil down…

You say, “how could they be that stupid?” Let me tell you something. What’s this buddy, this friend of mine, I don’t remember his name anymore.

Very handsome man in Corpus Christi, very lovely, lovely person. Very lovely person. He will categorically tell you, he’s never seen a miracle.

His own wife with TB, one Sunday morning, reached out when Oral Roberts prayed and touched the TV, and she didn’t have tuberculosis, from that time on.

He said, “I’ve never seen a miracle.” How do you figure? Now, look it, I’m holding a book up. Would you all like to say tonight, “I…, when I put it away, I never saw that book.”

Well, you say, “Brother Vayle, that’s crazy.” That’s what the prophet is saying.

They’ve got to be crazy. Insanity has already struck, and if insanity has struck so has Glory struck. So, has sanity struck. If death has struck, so has life struck.

Man, listen, you can’t… listen, you can’t buy those tares for the burning, and not see the wheat garnered in the garner. It’s impossible brother/sister. It’s impossible, the guys crazy, there’s something wrong.

There is something is wrong with the man or woman who can see the promise of God manifested, and then refused to believe It. It’s because, the denomination pulls the veil down… 

[253]  In order to do this, our denominational traditional veils must be broke, by God’s Spirit of Fire and Sword, which is His Word. Always His Word, is His Sword. See?

And He took His Sword that day, full of Fire, and ripped that veil from top to bottom. He does the same thing with the Sword today! Not “my creed, my book of creeds, my- my catechism.” [Not that, not that, see what he says]

But the Sword of the Lord, see rips the veil down, and you see God standing in plain view, manifested in His Word…

But, you’re looking into it. Oh, brother. Wouldn’t I love to write a check for a hundred dollars, and see that check come back one million? Well sure, I’m not stupid.

Sure, I’d like that. I wouldn’t say I’d spend it on myself. I don’t know what I’d do. I really don’t want to know to be truthful to you. But, I speak in terms of illustration.

To keep ripping at that old veil. You just keep ripping at it. Grace will stand; but neither eternal security, and legalism will stand. No way.

The veil’s rent and God stands openly before you manifested. Now he, said so. Was that man using a figure of speech? No! No sir! No sir. He said, “Now we behold Him.” We behold Him. We are a part of Him.

We are that living Word made manifest. Where else, is It living? Down amongst the hot-heads in Hoboken? The Hottentots of Africa?

The scurvy atheists of this world? That’s right. How can a man possibly talk about himself being a part of the Bride, and not see this?

Remember, It has nothing to do with you, as though you produced it.

[253]  …[Now] the Sword of the Lord, see, rips the veil down, and [God the revealed Word] you see standing in plain view, manifest His Word. What a glorious view to look at! See? All right. God’s Holy Spirit and Fire, His Sword, rips it. The Word rips the denominational veil.

[254]  [What] if you just said, “the Word,” and the Word don’t work? What good would the Sword be here, and say, “It can’t rip”? …it won’t rip? 

[255]  But when you lay that Sword of God up there and watch her rip, she is… she is held by an ordained hand sent to do so. See, rips it open, and there He is. There it shows God plainly in view, the great Jehovah… 

Then if He is in plain view, let’s get this; He’s here. And if He is here and can stand us, now see everybody comes out of legal background in this whole church. I don’t know about Brother Evans, were you Baptist?

Well my God, your legalism, your eternal security is likely cruddy anyway. Or it wasn’t worth a plug nickel.

So really, you’re some kind of a stupid legalist, when it comes right down to it. Some kind of a bad thing there.

But, you see, listen brother/sister, this is the thing that people simply can’t understand. The Presence of God, and in that Presence, is human filth.

Let me get this flat. That is not true, I do not go for what they call ‘the complete depravity of man.’

Because, God then would then take pigs and make them sheep. And dogs and make them sheep. They are sheep that have gone astray.

And He came to redeem His own. But, let me tell you, those unredeemed sheep are separated from God. And they’ve got to get back to God.

And a blood sacrifice lays there. And God could come down in the camp of Israel, and He just stand there, and could watch them.

And Balak said, “Balaam, come on down, and curse them.” And he did his best, but only blessings came out.

Balak said, “Go on down and see their dirty parts, go on around the backyard.” We’ve got a problem in our house.

The front door is always locked, the back door is always open. You catch us, all the time, I’ll tell you. “So, go on to the back door.” That’s where you’ll catch us, the back door.

So, he went down to the back yard, the back door, and he said, “I can see enough going on down there.”

“Balaam, he said, you could curse them a thousand times.” Balaam said, “I think I agree with you.” Got up there to curse them, but, nothing came out but blessings.

God stood there with Sarah, and with Abraham. Sarah lied in the face of Almighty God. You think she got away with it? That’s right, she did. Except, God let Abraham go down the road, and make her tell another lie.

Don’t fool with God. But look, it’s grace. How can God be here today amongst us? If you don’t believe that, you don’t believe this Message. And you won’t have any trouble, because the gates of hell will not be against you.

My brother, my sister, if you don’t understand what the prophet said, be of good cheer, nobody’s going to bug you. You’ve got it made. Where are the gates of hell? He said, “Where?”

“Where is it against?”

And he said, “What city?” It’s not the revelation, that He is the Son of God. Even a Turk might be convinced that he was.

And he’s a Mohammedan of some description. They’re not against that. They’re against the revelation that He’s here.

And I can understand why. Denominate, veil. My …?… What if He said the Word? It won’t work. Not, down here. That’s His Word made manifest.

Now listen, God manifest in full view. 

[255]  There it shows God plainly in view, the great Jehovah. That is His Word made manifest, the portion that’s promised [today]. Do you get It?… See? 

Now, some people think Brother Branham was supposed to have taken the Book of Genesis, and go all the way to the Book of Revelation, and make a complete companion. It wasn’t; It was the Word for this hour. See? That’s what it was.

…(Now) When the Sword, promise of today, in this day, what’s supposed to be, and God takes His Sword and rips down the denominational veil and pulls it back, and manifests Himself and shows that He is there, still that same Pillar of Fire.

Notice, that is the Word made manifest for today’s promises. 

Okay:

[261]  And when you see the Word made manifest, you see the Father, God, because the Word is the Father. The Word is God.

And the Word, made manifest, is God Himself taking His Own Word and manifesting It among believers. Nothing can make It live but believers, just believers.

Now, let’s go back and read again.

[243]  So now we are invited into Him, to be partakers of all that He is. …which is hid to unbelievers, by the veil of human flesh. See? [the veil] …that Glory, they read of It, [It’s] in the Word here, “of the Glory of God” and things like that, it’s just a word to them. To us,…

It’s appeared before us. And that word ‘manifest’ means; absolutely proved what it is, in its own genuine character. So, that you know what it is, then there’s no mistake.

…It is no more a word; it’s reality!… 

All right, Brother Branham started preaching a Message. In its affecting the Bride, would bring the dead out of the ground because, they’d be ready to come up. Which would produce an immortality.

Now, the point is this: That Word, was preached, and since It was manifested, that it was that Word of this hour. It is no more a Word preached, it is a Reality, that Word now, in a Bride, is changing her, to the last glory.

Which will be humanity living, and not dying, in the image of Christ. It’s going on now. See? It’s no more Word, it’s a Reality.

“Well, Brother Vayle, I don’t see it that way. You see, I’m waiting for that day.” I’m not. I’m not waiting for that day. Why wait for what’s already here?

Bible says, “You with patience, wait for it.” If you don’t see it, but, the minute you see it, who needs it? That’s why I’m so excited.

“The long, long night is past, the morning has broke at last, and hushed the dreadful wail and fearing the blast. The more the distant hill. Our life approaching fast.” Immortality. The Holy Ghost is come.

I did a little bit of license with that beautiful chorus. “The Comforter is Come.” He’s here. And that’s it, that’s what it’s all about. Shadows have given way to substance.

In the day of the Voice of the Seventh Messenger, every mystery is perfected. “For that which is Perfect, has come.” It is the hour of 1 Corinthians 15:51, It is now immortality. It is running apace.

Now bear me out. Time is running out. Can there possibly be time beyond 1986? Forty years after Israel became a nation, 1946. The latter rain fell in 1906. I don’t know, but we’re getting awful close.

I know as me, all of us long to get out of this sin cursed pestilential world. But, if we don’t, it’s going to be better than ever. But remember, it’s no longer He that is coming, but He that is here. The change is in process.

The Seventh Seal is opened, the Light has struck. And It’s reverberating, pulsating rays have formed the perfect circle of the Logos, and the prophet, and the Bride, and the Son.

I’m talking of the Son, who is on the Throne now, as the head of the Bride, humanly speaking.

And also by reason of identification with God. Because, there is nothing that is denied Him. That Bride in all, are completely one tonight.

Now I know that seems like a staggering statement. That could merely be illustrative or hopeful, but in my books, it is genuine. Never more will we be fragmented. There is no organization can follow It.

He who said, “I am the Reality has risen amongst us, with healing in His wings.” Yesterday is gone. Do not look back. There is no tomorrow, do not look ahead. For, time has run out.

And you know that’s ‘Thus saith’ what Brother Branham said. Let the Light strike you, and gaze into the Word.

And the promise of this hour will be quickened to you, and in you, and you will not face death but live. That’s right.

There’s a promise for this hour, that Jesus Himself made, when He was on earth in human flesh. And He could not fulfill it. No way. Until He returned back to being Holy Spirit.

For He said, “He the liveth and believeth in Me, shall never die.” That could not happen until this hour.

Now listen carefully, what stuck you? The Light that God shone on the prophet, and reflected from him to us. But, actually and really, what is that Light? Let’s take a look at that Light. Let’s take our time.

All right, listen.

How can you be outside that Word? I don’t care what you produce. You can be kinder than the kind old priest, and make Jesus look like some sick upstart. Going into the temple and beating everybody up.

And that’s what Israel had with Moses, when he stood there with God before him. Now, he wasn’t God, he was God to the people. But, God was there.

And that Light reflecting back. See? Like wheels within wheels. Living Fire, moving. Like Brother Branham said, “Cecil B. De Mille, must have been moved by the Holy Ghost, to get that Pillar of Fire just right.”

Listen, you get that amongst the people, the reflected Light from that prophet going back and forth, back and forth. Oh God, if the people had ever listened to William Branham.

Had they ever even admitted who he was. My wife and I looked for that. How we heard him say it in Florida, “If you only believed who I am, you’ll be healed.” We never could find the tape again. Then just the other day, I heard him on the tape.

How could… listen… the word of a man doesn’t heal, the promise of a man doesn’t heal. A man identifying himself doesn’t heal. God heals! He was telling me, if you believe I’m the one that was sent.

And we never caught on, because that was back in 1953. My heavens, now, it took me nine years later to really begin to realize, we always knew he was somebody. Never thought to find out. Walking in the Light. Fellowship, the Blood standing there. Hmm.

Say, “Brother Vayle, this church wants real fellowship.”

Don’t you think I know that? I’m preaching my understanding; you do what you want. You really want it, and lie in the Presence of the Son.

He said, “Lie.”

“But, Brother Vayle, we’re going to run.”

Hop to it, start running. Just don’t come running to my door, I’ll boot you out. I’ll tell you right now, don’t get on my phone, I’ll tell you to ‘shut up.’ See? I’m not kidding.

Sorry boys and girls, that’s the way the cookie crumbles. The ball bounces. In that Light.

Remember back, more than two years ago, I told you in a series of messages, this church would either change, go back or go forward, and I started with the vertical to the horizontal. Now, you’re not being foreign shot? You’ve had some crusty times.

I’m going to tell you something, the hairy times aren’t over yet, because, you’re not dead my brother/sister, you’re still living. You’ve got the axe to fall. You’ve got troubles to come.

Brother Branham said how to deal with them. Scripture here, tells us how. Fellowship, the Blood of Jesus Christ cleanses.

There’s nobody digging it up. If we say we have no sin, we make Him a liar. Truth’s not in it, I guess we deceive ourselves. …?… …?… And so on.

Now the same One, said:

And then It said, “The Light became flesh. The life became flesh. The Word became flesh.” Word; Life; Light. He became flesh, then He went back to being a Light on the Damascus road. That Light was Christ.

You’re with me? Okay. Colossians, hope I’m not boring you to death, getting you all to a place where you can’t hear, and can’t understand. I hope not.

Listen,

“When Christ, Who is our Light, when Christ Who is our Life, when Christ Who is our Word. When Christ Who is the Logos, shall appear.”

[verse 5 paraphrased] Be made absolutely manifest in His true character, exactly Who He is. Then, we shall also be made manifest, in our true character, exactly who we are. For He shall come down, and set Himself at Head of the Church. Raise the dead, and change us.

I want to ask you a question: is He here? Sure He’s here, or Brother Branham lied. Well the camera lied. Everybody’s a liar. Then God must lie, because He proved He was here.

Now, I’m not messed up, we’re not messed up. Somebody else is messed up. We’re not messed up. He’s here. He appears as a Light. Well, didn’t He?

What did the camera catch? The Light. “Supernatural Being,” as George Lacey said. He’s absolutely right.

He appears as a Light, proving who He is, manifesting who He is. Our life is here because, the Light is here. And that Light is our life.

And at that time that He is manifested, we are manifested. I think you’re getting the picture, I might be getting redundant by now.

Ephesians 5:

Now listen, Cain brought something to God that was in God’s Word. He brought a first fruit offering. And the Scriptures called it an excellent sacrifice.

But, Abel’s was more excellent. And Abel’s was according to faith by revelation. He didn’t take time to prove anything out. “Study to show thyself approved unto God.” Cain wouldn’t do it. He lost out.

All right, the Word is our Light. Have no fellowship with unfruitful works of darkness, but reprove them.

“It’s a shame you speak of those things done by them in secret. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light.” I want to ask you, “When did that Light come?”

It came way back in the days of Moses. It came before then, it came at the time of Abraham. came before then, cane back at the Garden of Eden. That Light kept coming.

That Light one day turned to flesh, then It went back to being a Light again. And that Light came down the First Church Age to Paul, set the Church in order, and set the ministry in there that could have brought about a Rapture.

But, it was not time, and the church went downhill. Now, that Light Appears again. Do you know what that Light is here for? To reprove. To cause people to get in synch. It’s manifested.

And whatever makes manifest is Light. Now, I must ask you something: Did you see the Light? You say, “No, I never saw the Light.”

How could you see the light? No way, only a glare, the prophet said, “You could see a flare, a reflection. Therefore, nobody but the prophet, could see the Light.

Now just a minute. What did you see? Because you had to see something. Because something was made manifest.

How was God made manifest to you, the prophet stood and said, “Thus Saith the Lord,” and It came to pass. The Light struck.

Now listen,

Now, he’s telling you here. Listen, once you were dark. You weren’t qualified as Bride. You weren’t recognized as part of that Word. You had that little seed in there.

And when the Light struck, He said here, “You became washed by the water of the Word.” And you became genuine Bride.

Now, brother/sister, I’m doing my best to cut it down in every way, shape and form that I can. That you might understand, that what is going on is not a myth, is not a dream.

If you choose to interpret it that way, and hang it out in the future here somewhere, that is your option. I do not believe it.

To me, I believe as in;

In other words, there hasn’t been one resurrected person among us at this point. And one change, that we know then when He shall Appear, when absolutely He shall prove Who He is, and that He is on the scene.

That’s the hour we’re going to be like Him. Because, we see Him as He is. Now, the Scripture says right there, that we are beholding him. In this hour of manifestation, this is the witness to our souls.

Because, we see Him, we’re being changed. But notice, that Light became flesh in John 1:14, it went back to the Light. And that Light has struck again.

Now watch, I want to show you something else here, and then I’m going to close, because time has run out on us.

I want to show you this here, listen carefully: Whatever is held up to a mirror, is what is reflected back, that is in the natural. That’s the natural. I hold up my hand, my hand comes back.

Like Brother Branham said, “A shadow.” If there’s a light out here, and my hand is here up to the wall… why he said, “You never see a big shadow like an elephant, turned out it was a little spindly man.” No way.

Shadow and substance must come together, that’s true. But, we’re talking about a mirror. Hold my hand up, and you see a hand. All right, now, what is reflected back, is what that mirror sees. See?

A light has struck that hand, that light goes to that mirror, and it throws that thing back into an image.

All right. You go to the Word now. And you’re not seed. And you sit on the platform and see William Branham come in there, in Spokane, and you see a huge great big fellow that’s broken up every meeting in the country.

He’s a demoniac, cops cannot handle him, nobody can handle him, and as he began rushing towards the platform, going to tear Brother Branham asunder, spitting and hurling anathemas at him.

The cops are running, the preachers are running over benches, and Brother Branham stands there, and tells the cops to “Stay away.” The man looks him in the eye, and begins spitting and hissing like a snake.

And then Brother Branham says, “Because you have challenged the servant of the Most, High God, you shall fall across my feet.”

And the man began weaving like a snake, I talked to people that were there, said it looked just like this. And he sunk right across Brother Branham’s feet. They had to pull the man off of Brother Branham’s feet.

Now listen carefully. Light struck. And the Trinitarians’ sat there, and a voice said, “That’s the way it’s done in the Bible. You can do it too.” And he took it to the Word.

And the Word came back Trinitarian. With signs and wonders and miracles, the false anointed. Yep. Hold up a trinity, you’ll see a trinity, but it won’t make the Rapture. For the person held up a glare of a denomination.

Had the right voice been there, the voice would’ve said, “Hold it, you’re a Trinitarian.”

How come a man that believes in one God, comes on the scene and does this… the same man was asked a few years ago by a former partner, and he said, “I hear you’re going to be baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,” then he said, “Dillard, you know I don’t go for that nonsense.”

All right. Hold up Matthew 28: without a revelation. Can you get back Acts 2: 37-39. Oh sure, but misinterpreted. And completely phony false anointing.

Brother Branham said, “Even believe in three gods, and claim to be full of the Holy Ghost.” Speaking in tongues as evidence of being born again, which is righteousness.

Let’s find out what the prophet said about that one.

‘Feast of the Trumpets 64-07-19’

 [101]  Hadn’t had it through the age. See that perfect continuity of the Scripture? Here we live in it. The mysteries: even of the baptism in the Name of Jesus, the Lord Jesus,

…and away from the Oneness idea, and these other things, how the Holy Spirit has moved that in and showed it perfectly; and the true baptism of the Holy Spirit, the Token, and everything, and placed it; and how He placed every reformer, and everything just exactly, and see right before our eyes.

…And it’s not in a corner; it’s world known. Jesus, the Son of God revealing Himself by the Scriptures, making that Scripture, that had been predestinated to this day (like it was in that day, and all other days) live. And to believe It is the evidence of the Holy Spirit. 

And he screams out; “Righteousness!” And you say you’re full of the Holy Ghost? And say different from a prophet? “Moses, put that veil on your face.”

Kill him… away with William Branham. That rotten false prophet. God, smeared him across the road. He had it coming.”

Well, cheer up, our day’s coming. What light struck that person who preached error? “It must have been the dark light of an evil spirit.” What light was that?

The original voice that said, “Hey, have you thought upon this, that God, surely say that there’s a tree here you shouldn’t eat?”

“Why, she said, certainly, would you care to talk about it?”

He said, “That’s what I’m here for.” Cain had an accurate and true sacrifice, but a false revelation.

I can quote;

And have a hundred percent erroneous revelation of it. I can quote Acts 2:37-39 and have a hundred percent erroneous revelation of It.

But, I’m going to tell you something: You better believe that First Church Age, wasn’t fooled by false apostles and false prophets, and false teachers. Bible says so.

And you’d better believe the last Age isn’t either. It must have been a dark light of an evil spirit.

As the Bible says, “How great is thy darkness, when the light becomes dark?”

Why, even those who claim to be Christ’s own, and they make Him Beelzebub. That’s right. What light struck them to go to the Word, and find Satan healing the sick, and casting out devils?

It’s interesting, isn’t it? It could go on. But listen, we don’t care so much about them because, I just want to show you how it works there too, you see.

But, hold up that Spiritually revealed Word tonight, and let your Light, which is His Light, His life, His Spirit, shine on that Word.

And flesh will become Word, and Word will become flesh until the glory of the Lord fills the earth.

Now, we’ve been here a long time, and I’m sorry to have kept you so late. But, tomorrow I go to Cincinnati, from there, go on to Beaumont, over to Fort Walton Beach, maybe come home, I don’t know. I imagine I’ll be back.

But, I didn’t want to be away any longer than I’ve been away, which is quite some time now. Mostly preaching round and about. But, I want the record absolutely clear tonight, and I’ve done my best.

If I haven’t explained it, I’m sorry. If it’s over your heads, I’m sorry. I mean it sincerely. Because, I don’t know what else to say, unless you want the opportune of coming together, and I’m not forcing this on anybody.

Because, I’m not really interested. Sitting with everyone around the table, which means you can sit there, and I’ll come in and stand before you. You can ask any questions you want.

This church, I have preached to more than any other. If anyone should know what I see, which I am convinced I see right.

But, you might be convinced I don’t see right. That is your privilege. But, at least this church should know, what I believe.

So, that no one will ever leave here and spread any word, that I believe in two gods, because, I do not believe for one minute, that Jesus the flesh, is God because, He is not God.

For God is the Father, of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Who, is that Melchisedec high priest, sitting on that Throne now, with the full office. And God now, is putting all things under his feet.

All in Him. So that He can take unto Himself this Bride, which is not just washed in His Blood.

But, this Bride is washed in the water of the Word, of this hour without spot or without blemish. So, that standing in His Presence according to 1 Corinthians1:7-8.

She is blameless, you can’t put a finger on her. God will not receive a charge against her.

As Brother Branham said, “Little Bride, you didn’t even do it.” There’s coming a day when it all falls back on Satan. I’m not talking about scapegoat, that would make Satan part of redemption. Forget it.

I’m talking about when the just desserts, after the White Throne, fall. I’m talking in terms that I believe that He is here. This God, that you can call Jehovah, Elohim, the Logos, call Him what you want.

They’re appellations in order to designate His efficiency within His official realm. And what He is doing, and why He is doing it, and how He does it. They all lie within there. It’s just that He is here now.

And He is fully responsible for the final work of redemption. That it is His descent, and through the voice of the prophet, a Message which literally is gathering a Bride unto Him.

According to 2 Thessalonians 2:1 that, that mighty angelic visitation, was the hour of the Seventh Seal.

Where we come into a rest. Which doesn’t have one thing to do with how you feel out here. It’s the certain knowledge that this is it, and I’m a part of It.

And I no longer see myself exposed in this Word under the law, but under grace I look and I see the light reflecting Him.

And my very image begins to change, because, I’m not going to stay mortal, I’m going to be immortal. Have I made myself clear? Not that it really matters. But I just want to know.

I didn’t say to you, “Do you know that you’re a part of It?” I will not ask you that question. That’s between you and God. That’s nothing, I have anything to do with.

Preaching on a revelation of faith, I cannot give you faith anymore than preaching on salvation, can I give you salvation.

But I can tell you something brother/sister, there isn’t one person ordained of God, who cannot lay out the mechanics.

I have preached mechanics tonight from the viewpoint of what the prophet taught, unveiled to us. Not that I like to make God mechanical, I’m not saying that.

What I’m saying, is more or less, is the fact of the blueprint. But, the manifestation has conclusively proven that God is here doing something. What is He doing?

Now, the question is this: that’s your question to yourself, the same as mine, to me. “Knowing the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are His.”

Can you… this is a hypothetical, this is rhetorical, I don’t need a nod, I don’t need an eyebrow raised, I need nothing.

But, it is the question that comes. Am I satisfied that I am fully identified, that the Light has struck, and in there, my image is lost, because it is His image.

“For as I have borne the image of the earthy, I shall… bear the image of the heavenly,”

These words brother/sister are not little platitudes. They are not guess so, they are not hope so, they are not maybe so.

For as the Scripture says, “As in Adam all die, even so in identical manner, shall all be made alive in Christ.” Not one son lost.

As It said, “For as I have borne the image of the earthy… And I bear, oh God, how I bear it, and how I hate it.

“I shall bear the image of the heavenly.”

My Brother Branham has gone on. He did not leave this earth to become a spirit that floats around in some atmosphere, he went to a body, a spirit body, in the heavens, that can feel and touch.

Rejoice and handle, but cannot eat or drink, that’s coming later. There is no place tonight where there is not Reality.

Brother/sister listen, they had Seven Church Ages, but, at the end of this Age, He is here, to raise the dead and to change us. And I believe It.

And I believe I’m a part of It. I believe I’m part of It, in spite of myself. And that’s putting it just the way I mean it. For, I died in Adam, I didn’t have a thing to do with it. I was made alive in Christ, I didn’t have a thing to do either.

Brother Branham said, “You had a free moral agency.” That’s only on the grounds that a little eagle can hear the big eagle.

He had the chance to spring back and flap his wings. He screamed back and flapped his wings, and suddenly, he was sailing, borne on the currents of the heavenly.

Brother/sister, don’t be afraid to scream out your faith in this Word tonight. Remember, the camel that old Rebekah gave water to, was the camel that took her home.

Don’t fail to feed yourself on this Word of faith tonight, if all you can do is… look you wouldn’t even have to go beyond this.

Brother Branham said, “You could be this much in and make it that much in, and never make it.”

In other words, it’s not the depth as though you can quote It all, and know It all, it’s something you can pin yourself on tonight. 

You say, “Look, I can identify, with that.” I can’t take every Word here, and say “I know it all.” I can’t take everything he said, and say, “I know it all. I don’t know it all.

But, there are certain things in here I take and I identify, and I’ll tell you something: I stand and it’s doing the job. Yep. I’ve not become a paragon of virtue, and I don’t look to be.

Because he said, “It wasn’t virtue.”

That’s why I can’t understand people preaching virtues as thunders. Because, all the virtues I’ve seen, thunders about as loud as a mouse can squeak, out in the Sahara Desert, ten miles from everybody.

And that’s being complimentary. I mean it too, I’m not kidding.

It’s not character, we’ve got enough character to kill each other tonight. That’s a beautiful thought. Not character, it’s not obedience either.

He said it wasn’t. That’s one quote I know what it is. I don’t know where that quote’s from, I just remember it. See? It’s not getting closer to God.

This Age is farther from God. But, God’s closer to us. Huh? Poor little old sheep in the ditch. Can’t get out.

“Well little sheep, if I was you, I’d get the farmer, to get me out.”

He said, “If I get the farmer to get me out, then I’d be out.”

Poor little old me in the ditch, down here in blind Laodicea. All messed up in my thinking. Thinking I’m rich and don’t need a thing. My Lord, I’m pitiful, wretched, miserable, in debt up to my eyeballs, and don’t even know it.

Credit cards have run out. Oh yeah. Yeah. What about it? “I’m going to come get you.” See, that’s grace. Yeah, I could keep you to midnight.

You’ve got Foot washing, Communion, good time, everything’s wonderful. I’ve done my best to clear my heart. My soul, my mind. I’ve got no axe to grind with anybody.

I just want to know where I stand. To me, this is the Message of grace, to you, it might be hogwash. I don’t know. But, I’ve said it. God, bless you. And I can’t take it back.

Let’s rise.

Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your patience. You’ve been patient, and I know maybe even more so than the people. Because, I may not have said everything the way that I should have said it.

I might even have said too much in most places, and not enough in one or two places, it could’ve been much better. But, I will not apologize, Lord, for what I believe at this moment, because, I cannot apologize, Lord, because I believe that it is Life.

I believe, Lord, God, that the power of life and death came in, the same as it came with Moses. The power of life and death, the last plague that struck Egypt spiritually, is taking this place.

The world, the whole world, not just America, spiritual death. Blind Laodicea, Lord, I know that. But, I know, Lord, there never was a time, that Life wasn’t there also.

And there is Life here at this moment. And I believe It’s been manifested in this hour, Lord, and I’m depending on Life.

Father God, I know that because I believe this, so many times it’s easy to take it as though I have an axe to grind. And I apologize for that.

I don’t mean it to be an axe to grind either. With You, or for myself, or with the people. Either here, or out in the world, or anyplace else.

I apologize for those expressions and feelings and things that come forth, which would make it that. Because, it isn’t that at all. It’s the Sword of God, in the hand of Him who is Life and Light, and we a part of that.

And if anything should be humbling, and softening, anything should be melting, bringing us down, think of the love, good graces, it should be that.

So, Lord God, we just pray that You’ll forgive us, which You do anyway. You don’t hold a thing against us. But You’ve given us wisdom by insight to know we could do better.

And, Lord, grant a measure of strength to do much, much, much better, than we’ve ever done before, Lord. Not that we want to shine in anyway. That’s not it.

But, that we might please You. That’s the thing, Lord. In any way, shape or form we could say, “Do that, which would please You.” That’s what we want.

And it doesn’t matter, it sure doesn’t matter to anybody else, because…
