The Continuing Ministry Of Christ
Godhead, Fellowship#5794
Let us pray.
Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your Presence this morning, knowing as the prophet said that that One who would enter the body of the Lord Jesus Christ went back to being a Pillar of Fire and that same One met Paul on the road to Damascus and He called himself, “Jesus”, which we know to be the truth.
Even as Brother Branham said, “One time he was in great delusion believing that God hated Him and Jesus loved Him and come to find out that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever; that Jehovah of the Old Testament; Jesus of the New.”
And we understand that Lord, and realize the truth of the Word of the continuity, of God who does not change but had His ways of doing things, which ways have been exposed to us and thereby we know even more thoroughly having heard Brother Branham teach on ‘Christ the Mystery of God Revealed’ and bringing forth those truths which are evident. He Himself, pointing out so clearly; how that the Father and Son were One demonstrated in this very hour.
How remarkable Lord, it is to know the… from the Alpha to the Omega and especially we in the hour of the Omega can go right back to the original Seed, seeing it completely fulfilled today, knowing thereby, that is the true revelation.
So we appreciate that this morning and thank You for it, just ask You continue to break to us the Bread of Life that we may know the truth as never before.
Not that we are simply inquisitive and not that we simply want to know but in our knowledge, we have the assurance and rest that they who know their God; not to do exploits, I don’t understand that part Lord, I don’t understand much of Your Scripture but I do know at the end time the prophet face to face we also were face to face waiting for the hour of the incarnation when face to face becomes a great reality to us and we see Him who having not seen we’ve loved and honored and tried to obey it.
Lord, knowing these things here, we’re waiting for You to bring whatever is necessary to our attention and bringing it to a place becomes very real to us and we’re living off of It, we’re living on It and It’s somehow living in and through us.
This is the cry of our hearts Lord, we just pray You’ll help us as we wait upon You, in Jesus’ Name we pray, Amen.
You may be seated.
Now we’ll not be going back to ‘Leadership’ this morning again and again I just want to apologize for last night but it had to be said, I believe in order to make the record straight though for many, many years I’ve been saying the very same thing.
But always there is controversy and I’d like to get rid of all the controversy, so that people understand once and for all where I’m coming from.
Of course, it won’t matter too much; they’ll still have their own thinking and that’s all right by me. I mean, it’s nothing I can do about it.
But we let those things go and before I get into this subject, I’ve been thinking very earnestly concerning the subject of Godhead and the subject of Godhead is actually very, very simple.
We must learn to disregard those things with which we cannot cope concerning God Himself and simply dwell upon those things which we can understand and see set forth in this hour as it has been set forth actually for all the time that God has been dealing with people.
Of course, that dealing with people since the time of Paul, especially in the matter of predestinating of the Gentiles which was known to Israel, known in the Word, but not known as it was then.
And so as we come more and more face to face, more and more entering into the immortality and the second part of the first Resurrection, unto the Rapture and the crowning Him King of kings and Lord of lords, that Spirit that’s in our midst.
We have more and a more of an understanding given to us by the Word.
And there’s a particular word that I’ve often looked at and not particularly been able to come to grips with until actually, you know, shown to us by the Lord, shown us, I believe from the Scripture what has been not hidden in there, but has been set forth there.
And we find that in the Bible; it tells us that in Jesus the fullness of the Godhead dwelt bodily. Now, all the fullness in Him of the Godhead was bodily.
Now to understand that, you have to take the Omega and the Omega is this: what actually is bodily in Him that is of God?
In other words the fullness of God bodily; now it doesn’t say the fullness of God in any other realm: it’s talking of that which is the fullness and It must appear in the body form.
So this is what we are looking at.
So all right, I want to take just a little verse of Scripture and it has to do with the 6th chapter of the Book Hebrews which is a tremendous book and verse 13.
(13) For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
(14) [And] saying, Surely… I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
Now you will notice in here that this is a continuation from the book of Genesis, the 1st chapter, 26 to 28 because God is not a God who changes horses in midstream.
He’s not a God who can back down and say, “Oops, I made a boo-boo.”
See, this is not the Trinitarian dogma where God made man and man failed God and God wrung His hands and said, “Oh, what am I going to do?”
And the Son, who is God the Son said, “Well, Father, send me I’ll take care of it.”
Well, that didn’t take care of it because now the Holy Spirit has to come down, God the Spirit has to come down and do a further work.
This is ridiculous. What kind of a God are you serving? You’re not serving the God of the Hebrews with talk like that.
That’s why the Hebrews said, “You’re not going to cut God up in three parts and give Him to a Jew: forget it.” This is actually blasphemy. This is idolatry. This is that which came from organization.
Now listen, it says right here that God swore by Himself. Do you realize that this same God in Genesis 1:26-28, is the same God that putting it right here to Abraham? He hasn’t changed His Word one little bit. He’s merely indicating bloodlines.
And the multiplication is going to come through them and no Word of God is going to be changed because Christ alone is supreme which we’ll see in this morning’s message.
We’ll get to it; don’t worry. I’m talking about something else; I’m talking about Godhead.
(15) And so, after he had patiently endured, [That’s Abraham.] he obtained the promise.
(16) For men verily swear by the greater:
In other words, you got to swear by something beyond yourself that is completely trustworthy, that is mutually trustworthy or what good is it to have an oath?
An oath is merely apart from reality and integrity, an oath can be a trick. “Oh, I swear. Oh, I swear on my mother’s grave, I would never do it.”
And he’s just thinking of the time he’s going to do it because they’re liars. This is too serious. The whole promise command, ‘be fruitful and multiply’ takes supremacy, take control, is lying here.
Now we’re yet to see that control. We’re going to because it’s vindicated.
Now,
(16) For men verily swear by the greater: …an oath [of] confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
(17) [Now watch!] Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, [interposed himself;]
God actually came down, appeared to Abraham, just like Moses, positively stood there.
Remember outside the tent, stood there as a man. He could see Him. He knew it was God. He came right down and He interposed Himself.
In other words, He made sure that positively nothing of His Word would fail and He guaranteed It to Abraham. That’s why Abraham’s faith was turned loose like a comet or a roman candle.
And we see the faith of Jesus, illustrated in this hour and what God promised in the covenant that He gave to Jesus and thereby gave to us.
We ought to have faith like a Roman candle and knows no bounds and knows no limits.
Now watch!
(18) [For] by two immutable things, [God and His own Word, uncompromised and sealed by an oath came right down and gave His oath physically in a human form.]
(18) That by two immutable things, [wherein God interposed Himself, intervened Himself in His Word] …it was impossible for God to lie, [In other words, God cannot back out. God can’t back out.] …we might have…strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
Now listen carefully!
(19) Which [earnest expectation] we have as an anchor of the soul, [earnestly expecting for this Word and it’s going to come to pass, don’t you believe for one minute; it won’t. It’s been coming to pass and will finally, eventually come to its perfection.]
(19) Which [earnest manifestation] we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
(20) Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, [Not God now. This is not the Father. This is Jesus who died and rose again has] made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
Now watch!
Brother Branham said, “Melchisedec had neither father nor mother, showing that He, that One was God.” Right? Elohim.
And he said, “He never appeared again until through the body of Jesus.”
So what I’m trying to show you this morning when you talk of the fulness of the Godhead bodily, you must remember that actually everything lies in there and concerns this one man, Jesus, virgin born, who had a preexistence, by whom God created all the worlds and everything else.
The record is right there; don’t try to change it. Just believe it; look at it. And you know that everything that God wanted, He has shown forth, is showing forth, and will show forth in this One and through this One.
So I’m trying to show you, Jesus isn’t God. And there’s no such thing as God the Son and the God the Father. There is God who is the Father.
But don’t even use the term ‘God the Father’, ‘God the Son’, ‘God the Holy Ghost’. You desecrate your own tongue.
You now have a spring or a well of waters that gives forth bitter and sweet. Remember, the Jewish proverb: ‘A half a truth is a whole lie.’ God’s not cut in thirds.
The expression, therefore, ‘bodily’ is exactly what Elohim so desired to do concerning His own omniscience and omnipotence with the essentially of love came forth in Jesus.
That’s why Brother Branham could say, “I thought God hated me and thought Jesus loved me. Come to find out it’s the same person.” Didn’t understand the true revelation.
God never wanted to hurt anybody. You know even the lake of fire was created for the devil and his angels; it wasn’t created for a human being. So all right; keep that in mind.
Now this morning we’re definitely going to talk about that which I know we understand and we here cannot understand how people don’t understand It.
Well, first of all they don’t know who Jesus is so that knocks it for a loop right there. We’re talking about that man Christ Jesus, the Son of Man, Prophet.
And the question comes up and is continued coming up which I can’t understand amongst the Branhamites. God have pity where have they gone?
First of all the question comes: what have they come out of? What have they gone back into?
So that the Jesus-Only people are very smug, as though Brother Branham did not say, which he did say, “I am not Oneness. I’ve even baptized wrong.”
And he said, “We’re not even Trinitarians. Neither do we believe in two gods.”
Then Brother Branham believed in one God. He did not believe in God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost.
He believed in God who is Holy Spirit and the Bible concurs because Jesus said, “God was His Father,” and the Bible said, “The Holy Ghost came upon Mary.”
And as Brother Branham said, “It is not strange for a woman to have two different children by two different men, but it would be very, very strange for a woman to have one child by two men.”
So how could it be God, how could it be the Holy Ghost? They’re two different ones. Makes you wonder; doesn’t it?
Now you can see right now if you looked in my eyes the sparkle and you’ll see I just honestly want to just give you something out of my cynicism and ironical humor.
But I’m not going to because the pulpit is no place for jokes, although I don’t mean a place to joke but I mean to skewer this in fatalistic, satanic, idiotic stuff that’s going around.
What about Jesus, the Son of God, Son of man? Same person. Is he alive? Where is He? What’s He doing?
To begin with in ‘Who is This Melchisedec?’ Brother Branham said, “We came exactly like Jesus except we by-passed our Word or Sprit-body.” which is true.
Now he said, “You were in your father, but he could not have fellowship with you until in holy matrimony through bedding grounds of your mother, you came forth.”
Well, just a minute now, we’re supposed to have come just like Jesus Christ except we by-passed that body. Spirit-Word body; and we came through flesh, Adam and Eve, in order to be tested.
Do you know that Jesus having by-passed it? Ah, ah, only temporarily. He had to come through a woman also. He had to come through a father.
Originally, he had come through the Father, in fact, he was formed of the Father, as Brother Branham said, “Before there was one atom, one ounce of creation, anything created at all, the Light formed.”
And if only God is there, then what form and what was formed from it? See. In other words, there had to be something there which was materialistic in order to supply a form.
And that form was a Light which was the Logos which was absolutely God beginning to manifest Himself and Logos means: ‘that must contain a part of the original’.
And my Bible tells me that Jesus was the essential… was actually the essentiality of God; the exact outraying of His substance.
From that point on, which truly indicates and shows that Jesus’ soul and what a great soul it was, we don’t know the measure, we cannot know the measure, that One stood there and by Him and through Him God created all the universes and everything that there is and that’s where God began to manifest Himself bodily.
Right there in that body which is light and light is substance and don’t think it isn’t. Because if light isn’t substance, how come then if the sun hid its face for what? two days? no one knows yeah we’d all be frozen stiff like mackerels, wouldn’t we?
Only take about two days. Anybody know the exact figures? Wouldn’t take very long: I’d say four days at the most; we’d be all gone.
Light: substance. You can measure it; this substance. You can feel it; it’s substance. God substance: Jesus. Not the light out here.
Not created, gave birth to, body, the fullness of the Godhead, working bodily, but He wasn’t God.
He’s the Son of God and being the first Son He was joint-heirs with His Father. And one-half was already His by virtue of being that Son, the first born. And the first born of any male according to Scripture is his strength. Huh? His continuity.
And if that son died, it would be horrible, for though other sons could carry on and supersede by virtue of the original going, the original one going, it would be devastating to the plan of God. It couldn’t work with God. He lets it work down here but it wouldn’t work with God.
So that Son was created after an endless life, not created in the sense of we talk creation but He was given that, He was the actual effulgence, the outraying of the substance of Almighty God.
Now Brother Branham said, “As every child,” and we’ll take female as well as male, you sons because that’s what the Scripture uses. We just have to leave it with God and that’s what we do.
He said, “You were in your father and your father wanted to have fellowship.”
That’s strange isn’t it? Any father here actually have that desire before a child was born? It’s interesting isn’t it?
That’s this whole trouble with sexual desire, you see. If she’d of had that son in the first place and he’d of taken over.
Every child born of sex and it would have been born of sex, would have been a beautiful, beautiful infant.
No crying, no sorrow, no sickness, no cerebral palsy, no doctors coming and performing caesarians, ripping the child and the mother to pieces.
See even doctors committed to do good, don’t do good. It’s not possible. They don’t have it in them. Try as they might. But God’s a good God; He’s different.
So all right.
He wants to have fellowship with you. He wanted to have fellowship; that’s the basis.
Then do you believe that there is any other reason to begin with that we came like Jesus, that God brought forth the Son for any other reason than fellowship?
Well, the point of the matter is let’s look at it in the environment of reasoning: why would He need him? Huh? God’s sufficient of Himself. Why would He need him?
As far as need is concerned and we’re reasoning, concerning I don’t need a brass door knob, I don’t need a gold doorknob, I don’t want a doorknob at all, I like the lever type because of my hand’s not so good anymore.
I’m using human reasoning. Why? It’s the same as: why did God need John the Baptist? See? Nobody can answer.
The answer is: because that was in God. Now, we were in God the same as Jesus. And God brings Him forth for fellowship and that’s true.
What the dialogue was at the time of the bringing forth of the Son; I don’t know and I care less, in the sense, it’s none of my business.
But Brother Branham said, “This Son stood there and like a child before the Father’s throne as he looked over the balustrade, billions of years ago, He began to create.”
And he told how the sun was formed, and a chunk fell off and fell for millions of years until it cooled and made the earth as we know it today and the great glaciers.
And Brother Branham even mentioned, ‘the carving out of the rivers that stand in America here.’ And Brother Branham’s right.
The Father stood back and said, “That’s good. That’s good.” Fellowship.
All right, let’s talk about fellowship. And see if that fellowship was discontinued. Let’s find out if God doesn’t talk anymore of the Son.
Put him in a coma. Phttt. Propped him up against the mercy seat. Somebody’s nuts. And that’s a very gentle expression if you know Lee Vayle.
(01) That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; [The Logos of Zoe. All right, you’re talking about right now the fullness of the Godhead bodily.]
(02) (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested [with] us;)
That’s just what John said in 1st John, the Gospels, “In the beginning was the Word and the word was with God and the Word was God.”
And Brother Branham said, “If you make it at this point the Logos, Jesus, then you’ve got three gods.” So we just believe the prophet. The prophet’s right by the way.
(03) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that [you] …may [also] have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
Now John said, “I’m going to write to you.”
“Well, Brother Vayle, we’ll just take and rip this out for our convenience because if it’s not there anymore, then the rest isn’t there either.”
Who gave the authority to rip anything out?
(04) And these things [we] write unto you, that your joy may be full.
And if I didn’t write them, you wouldn’t have fellowship, they wouldn’t have fellowship, we wouldn’t have fellowship and the joy is limited, terribly so. It’s not full.
(05) This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. [Neither variableness of changing: get that from James.]
(06) If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
And Paul said, “If you live in the spirit; make sure you walk in it.” Now he’s telling you this.
(07) But if we walk in the light,
Now remember, that which makes manifest is light. And in this hour we saw the irrevocable proof even by photograph of God.
And He Himself would have not been made attainable to us, relative to us, or in any way have any association by way of the mind, the soul, the spirit and the body, except by the words of the prophet that were vindicated to fully explain and lead him forth.
So therefore, how much light do these preachers have that are taking away your fellowship with the Father and the Son?
Now I realize that science has proven to a measure that you can go into a room where a person lies in a comatose condition and that person can hear you talk.
And that person will remember; but that’s not everybody. Can you believe for one moment that God… Christ Jesus in a coma?
And now somehow obliquely: hey, I’ve got no idea if I walked into the room of an unconscious person and tried to communicate and I had no evidence of reception, because I was communicating and he was getting the communication. I can’t buy it.
(06) If we say we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
But what if you deny the fellowship? How much Word have you got? I’m asking you the question.
You say, Brother Vayle, are you using a little bit of what they call ‘corollary’ or mathematics. Oh no. oh, no, no. no. no. It’s not just reasoning.
It tells you right here. ‘If we walk in the light as he is in the light we have fellowship one with another.’
If you’re living in this Word and you’re walking in this Word, you’ve come to a consummate, ultimate and dedication; you’re into fellowship with the Father and the Son: your older brother.
Now, who are you going to believe? We’re going to believe a bunch of preachers or we’re going to believe the Word of God?
“Well, you say, “Brother Vayle, you’re a preacher.”
Not that kind, I’m not that kind. See, I believe Brother Branham. His gift was genuine; mine’s genuine, too.
I didn’t ask him to tell me anything. But I’m not going to turn down what he told me and I don’t care who doesn’t like it; that’s their business not mine.
1 Corinthians 1:
(09) God is faithful, by whom [we are]… called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
The word ‘Lord’ means ‘controller’. You think He doesn’t want fellowship? Something’s wrong somewhere.
We go to Philippians, the 2nd chapter, and we look at the 1st verse.
(01) If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit,
And then it steps down to this leading; to you and me, having compassion and mercy from the above: I suggest to you that the people who do not walk in the Spirit and this is talking of ‘walk’; do not have the Light.
They’re not living in the Spirit because it tells you this living in the Spirit should bring forth this walk in the Spirit.
We go to Ephesians, the 3rd chapter, and 1, beginning.
(01) For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
(02) If [you] have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
Prophet doesn’t get anything for himself; neither does the five-fold ministry. If the prophet went around making money and being popular, kick him out. I’ve no time for him.
No, trying to get a crowd or anything else: get rid of him. Get rid of him; he’s no prophet. If he is; he’s a phoney, a false. That goes for the whole five-fold. Every ministry is for the people.
Brother Branham one day with a terrible wound upon his leg, after having prayed for others and they were completely healed, healed miraculously, pulled up his pants and said, “See, I can’t use my gift for myself.”
The funniest thing in all the world is, I’ve tell people certain things and they say, “I just like I’m born-again.”
And all I’ve done is tell them; it hasn’t affected me that way. Until you minister or one of them you don’t have a clue to what this is all about.
But Paul said, “What I have been given is not for myself and yet I will die for It, I’ll expend my last energy, my last penny. If I’m crucified, if I’m frozen, if I’m starved, if I’m neglected, I’m rejected, it doesn’t matter, because he that is greatest of all is servant of all and if God Himself could become a servant, then what about the sons of God?” Couldn’t they serve at least ten percent?
(03) How that by revelation [God gave it to me for you.] …he made known unto me the mystery; afore (as I wrote afore in [a] few words,
(04) Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
(05) Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
In other words, an addenda, a further revelation of the same thing.
(06) That the Gentiles should be fellow-heirs, …of the same body and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
(07) Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God [Ephesians 4] given unto me by the effectual working of his power. [The Holy Ghost Himself.]
(08) Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
(09) And to make all… see what is the fellowship of the mystery,
How can you be in fellowship of a mystery, unless there’s a fellowship to be a part of?
And if there’s a mystery and you’re into it then you’re a part of the fellowship. And what’s the mystery in the beginning. It’s Christ. So the fellowship again is with that One.
(09) And to make all… see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: [Didn’t say Jesus did the creating, as though that man did it. God did it; Elohim-Jehovah.]
(10) To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be [made] known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
The manifold wisdom of God, listen, is a fellowship. That’s hard to realize in this rotten stinking world here where everybody cuts everybody’s throat.
You don’t dare trust anybody because all you see is a bunch of liars and hound dogs all your life. Hard to see a person live up to his word and treat you right. Strange, isn’t it?
The manifold wisdom of God: the fellowship.
(11) According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: [that’s as soon as he was formed and came forth that was already there.]
(12) In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. [Not our faith but His own faith and the contract He made with the Father.]
(13) Where[of] I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
(14) [And] for this cause I bow my knee unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
(15) Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, [we have a fellowship.]
Tell me when it was broken? Tell me who took it away? Tell me whose thinking supersedes the vindication of Paul and the vindication of William Branham?
William Branham who said, “Your father wanted to have fellowship with you when you were still in him.”
And you know something; it’s a strange thing but true, Fathers have fellowship with their sons; mothers with their daughters; fathers with their sons; mothers with their sons.
Why? We’re predestinated and those that don’t; there’s some problems in there. Of course, many times kids don’t understand what fellowship is but it shouldn’t be that bad.
Ephesians 3:
(16) That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by [the] Spirit in the inner man;
(17) …Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that [you], being rooted and grounded in love,
(18) May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
(19) And to know the love of [God], which passeth knowledge, that [you] might be filled with all the fulness of God.
Notice that, what fulness of God? The fulness of this fellowship that’s talked about, we may enter and have communion.
As Brother Branham said, “What’s fellowship? Two men in a ship talking to each other.” Yeah.
(20) Now unto him that is able to do… abundantly above all that we [can] ask or think according to the power that worketh in us,
(21) Unto him… Unto him be glory in the church by [Jesus Christ] throughout all ages, world without end.
Now listen, what is the end of this? The end of this is the Father above the throne and the Son on the throne and the Bride in attendants below in New Jerusalem, and all the other children on the outside and there’s no need for light.
Because the Lamb is the Light thereof: everything in perfect order. That’s fellowship. That’s what God wanted. God wanted a family.
And now we got preachers want to put Him to sleep or put Him in dust or prop Him up on some place.
Haven’t they read what the prophet said concerning this One of whom we speak this morning?
Notice also in speaking in like terms of fellowship because it’s the same term pretty well. We’re called partakers or partners or fellow-sharers with him.
Doesn’t say ‘have been’: doesn’t say ‘will be’ and doesn’t say ‘there’s a cut-off’; it says, “We are.”
Ephesians 3:16, I read it.
(16) That he would grant you, according to the riches…
[I got the wrong one there.]
(06) That the Gentiles should be fellow-heirs, and of the same body and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
Notice the word there ‘partakers’. An actual partaker, an actual heir, into everything that Christ stands for that God allowed and gave Him authority and power of being.
In,
(10) That [you may] walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, [In other words, your walk, be the living in the spirit.] being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
You know how to increase in the knowledge of God? Start doing good works. As I said many a times, those that cannot handle the unrighteous mammon, don’t do right by it; you’ll never get the true riches. Forget it.
I find people lots of places cutting off tithing and all. Don’t believe anymore. You’re going here… listen, I don’t want your stinking money. I’m just telling you the Word of God.
If you think I need money; look at my bank account. I don’t need money. You think I wouldn’t give every cent for my wife and me to feel like twenty years younger? Won’t work, so we’re just going to leave it in the bank.
Let’s get a lot of things straight this morning. This is kind of a pastoral message, so I might as well let it sink in.
Colossians 1:
(11) Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; [Oh, that’s a honey… I could take a long morning on that.]
(12) Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
(13) Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and… translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
In order, to have this fellowship; this partaking together. What did Brother Branham say?
He said, “The woman gives her husband the food that he brought.” Right? “Feed the Christ within you.” Huh?
Did he say it or did he not say it? Well, he said, I’m telling you. How are you going to feed the Christ within you? By the very Word He Himself gives: spiritual food in due season.
(14) In whom we have redemption through his blood, …the forgiveness of sins: [Verse 12 especially. Partakers means ‘sharers’; to share in it.]
Hebrews the 3rd chapter, and in verse 1.
(01) Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, [Tell me, is there something in here to suggest that this stops? The fellowship stops, the partaking stops?] [14th verse.]
(14) For we are made [companions] of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
What’s your confidence? Vindicated Word! Yet there are people sitting under preachers, say they believe this Message; haven’t got a clue to vindication.
What are they sitting under and why? You can’t sit under my ministry one sermon and not know where you stand with the vindicated prophet or you don’t have the Spirit of God.
What spirit you have is not my business, that’s up to you and the Lord.
Hebrews 6:
(04) For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
Now that’s… you can have all of that as a wrong seed and reject the Word, but still have all of this as a true seed because there’s two things mentioned there.
There’s two things mentioned, and he tells you ‘herbs and tares, briars’, they’re called. Devilish things, speaking of a tri-unity, a trinity, the Trinitarians hate the Oneness, now all the Trinitarians and William Branham, ninety-five percent are gone Oneness, Jesus-Only. And they hate us.
And you can’t even show and listen to your tapes; we do not believe in two gods; there is one God who had a His only begotten Son. “Oh, you’re preaching two gods, you’re preaching two gods.”
Those are roses. “Oh, no, Brother Vayle, they’re carnations. They’re carnations because I say so.” I can get upset.
I want to ask you one question; what about a God of wrath who’s standing right now? ‘Thou shalt not bear the name of the Lord thy God in vain.’
Then why are you doing it? Well, that means to curse. I beg your pardon, it doesn’t mean to curse. It means ‘to take’ and ‘to carry’.
You say, “I’m a legate, I’m an ambassador, I’m a son of God, I’m a child of God, I speak with tongues, I’m full of the Holy Ghost, I’m this.” You’re a liar and the truth is not in you. All right.
Hebrews 12:
(01) Wherefore seeing we… are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin [that] …easily besets us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
We’re encompassed. Not only that, we go to the… 18th verse, I guess what we wanted here, I might have this wrong, I might have this right.
I want Hebrews 12, we’ll just leave that one there because actually it’s found in the rest of the Scripture there.
Where that we are called sons and we must endure chastening and the… brother… and the scripture mentions of entering into the fellowship of his sufferings.
Tell me isn’t there suffering going on now for the Word’s sake? Aren’t you maligned because you believe the truth?
Remember, brother/sister, you cannot be criticized for your good deeds. They will lie about your good deeds.
You are criticized and maligned; will be killed for what you believe. ‘Because life and death is in the power of the tongue.’
And if you speak life in your tongue, they will want to kill you. And if you speak death in your tongue; they’ll glorify you and make you alive; strange world we’re living in.
Let’s go to, 2 Peter, and in,
(04) Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature…
Now just a minute, do you mean to tell me with this great last glowing Message, where the Word is revealed as it never was revealed, where we’re coming to a place we’ve never come to before; that suddenly we’re not partakers? Huh?
Let’s look at it again.
(04) Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Do you realize… what’s being said here? The same words were said by Brother Branham in the twentieth century.
Twentieth Century Prophet, William Branham, Elijah: he said, “How do you get dressed?” Specially by not saying what the world is saying.
So you want to get dressed in corruptible things? And you talk about believing William Branham, you talk about being Bride, there’s something wrong somewhere.
Where’s fellowship with a comatose? That’s which is gone back to the dust? That which is propped up or prone upon a mercy seat? And all that hogwash.
Notice also, he’s Mediator. Now in Timothy, 1 Timothy and it’s the 2nd chapter and the 5th verse.
(05) For there is one God, and [there is] one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
(06) Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
Tell me when the testimony ceases. It’s not going to cease during the Great Tribulation because they’re going to gnaw their tongues in pain and curse the Lamb.
And say, “Who will save us from the wrath of the Lamb?”
As Paul said, “They preach Christ for contention and some because they love Him, whether for contention or not, thank God He’s being preached.”
Tell me when that ceases. Tell me when you don’t have a hearing Jesus. Because if you don’t have a hearing Jesus, you don’t have a hearing God.
Because let me tell you something, he is Mediator only because by virtue of Him being the Redeemer and the word ‘redeemer’ or ‘mediator’ rather, means ‘inter-communicator’ and ‘reconciler’.
Inter-communicator: reconciler. You mean we don’t have Him?
We look at Romans, the 3rd chapter, and in the 3rd chapter and in verse 24, it says,
(24) Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in [Jesus Christ]:
Now remember, He’s Intercessor, Mediator, rather, on the grounds that He is Redeemer.
Had He not redeemed He could not mediate for those sons who are in sin where the blood give them peer-ship with Jesus and the ability to face God face to face.
As God said to Job, “Face me like a man.”
In Hebrews, the 9th chapter, and in verses 16, beginning.
(16) For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the [man who made out the will].
(17) For a [will] is [not] of force [till] after men are dead: otherwise it is no strength at all while the [man lives because he could change the will.]
What about the fact that he died, made the will secure, then rose again to put it in effect?
(18) Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
(19) For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people… and [they sprinkled with] hyssop, and…blood [and so on.] [And, they almost…] [Verse 22]
(22) …almost all things… [of] the law [are] purged [by] blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission [of sin].
(23) It was… necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens… be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
(24) For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, [There He is again. That’s Melchisedec.] which are the figures of the true; …into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
(25) Nor yet… [as though] he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy place every year with blood of others;
(26) For then must be often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now [since] …the end of the world hath… appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
(27) …as it is appointed unto [man] once to die, …after [that] the judgment:
(28) So Christ… once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
When did He quit the ministry? Who set the ministry aside? You talk of taking out of the book.
Can you envision people doing such as that? Oh, they’ll tell you they don’t, we just misunderstand. Well, I’ve got news for you, I understand very well. Oh, yes, I understand very, very well.
Let’s go to the book of Acts,
(32) This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
(33) Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, …having received… the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
You mean to tell me there’s no Holy Ghost falling? How can you know? You don’t know.
In Philippians, the 2nd chapter, these verses we’re bringing up concerning, what He’s supposed to be doing. Who said He was ever changed? See?
Well, He’s on His Father’s throne. That doesn’t change anything.
How are the Jews going to come in? What, they don’t need any blood? What are you talking about?
The bruised reed He doesn’t break for the Gentiles but for the Jews he annihilates, the smoking flax he doesn’t quench for the Gentiles but for the Jews he does.
They don’t have anything without Him; that’s why they’re where they’re at. And the few souls under the altar, in the Fifth Seal, only by predestination, in order that there might be a Seed at this end time; there has to be carriers for the hundred and forty-four thousand.
And He’s going to appear to them, and show the hands and the feet. Tell me whose theologian, which one took away His office? I’m going to ask you a question.
Which one gave them their offices? Not being rude; I simply want to know some answers because I’m very unclear as to what they think they’re doing.
We said we talked about,
(05) Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
(06) Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: [or prize to be retained.]
(07) But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and… made in the likeness of men:
(08) And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
(09) Wherefore God… hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
(10) That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth,…
(11) …every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Tell me, is that at the White Throne only? My Bible says that, “The head of the woman is man, and the head of the man is Christ, the head of the church is Christ, the head of the body.”
And one day that body is going to rise to meet a man in whom God will reincarnate Himself at the Wedding Supper. He’s inter-communicator, He’s reconciler.
In Hebrews, the 8th chapter, and in verse 6.
(06) But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much [more is he] the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
When did it change? Who said it’s ever going to change? I thought he had an unchanging priesthood. Tell me where it was thrown out.
The 9th chapter, the 15th verse. Oh, they may have some arguments; I wouldn’t doubt that.
(15) And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
As long as there is a predestinated One and I don’t care who and what he is and where he is, based upon His death He’s Mediator, you and I are not going to change it.
In 12: and in 24, it tells you,
(24) And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things… of Abel.
When did the blood loose its power? When did Jesus loose his office? To reconcile or to be a reconciler.
We go to Ephesians, the 2nd chapter, now some of these we might have read previously and we get up to 2 and 16.
(16) …that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
In Colossians 1, and in 20.
(20) And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things [on] earth, or things in heaven. [Tell me, when the ministry of reconciliation is completed and done over with?]
Let’s go to Romans, the 5th chapter and the 10th verse. And notice what it says here,
(10) For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
The great Reconciler! How can you enter into the much more, like the Roman candle of Revelation 7 without him? I would like to know. I want some answers please.
In 2 Corinthians, the 5th chapter, we read where the apostle Paul is teaching 18 and 19.
(18) [For] all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and… given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
(19) To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses… and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
When did we stop it? When did we have the right to say nobody else can come in? When did we have any rights to say anything? Except what He told us to say.
Hebrews, the 2nd chapter and verse 17.
You say, “I don’t think those men are saying that.” Well, they better shut-up then until they say it right.
(17) Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be… merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
That word there is really ‘propitiation’. For without propitiation there would be no reconciliation whatsoever.
He is intercessor; that means ‘to entreat’. That means ‘to entreat’, ‘to intercede’.
We go to… Brother Branham said over here in ‘Things That are to Be,’ …Jesus [sits] On the right hand of God tonight, ever living to make intercessions on our confession of what we believe His Word to be the Truth.
Fellowship, mediating, reconciling, dressing, fitted for the kingdom, living in the Spirit, walking in the Spirit, living in the Light, walking in the Light, having fellowship and the Blood cleansing.
So, let us see what the Word says and we have many Scripture for it and as we go to Scripture we go to the Book of Hebrews and we’ll try to read as quickly as we can.
And we go to 3 which we read a little bit of, 1-6.
(01) Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our [con]fession, [Jesus Christ]; [that’s what I read right here.]
(02) Who was faithful to him [who] appointed him, as also Moses was… in all his house.
(03) For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
(04) For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.
(05) And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
(06) But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house we are, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of [Him of] the hope firm unto the end. [In other words, the same confession; staying with the same Word.]
Hebrews 4:
(14) Seeing [we] then… we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, [Not God the Son.] let us hold fast our [con]fession.
(15) For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like… we are, yet without sin.
(16) Let us… come boldly …to the throne of grace, …[to] obtain mercy, and find grace… [and] help in [every] time of need.
And Brother Branham said, “If you will confess what God said about those conditions; God will make your body obey those conditions.”
On what condition? You got to confess you’re in heaven; you confess you’re down here, you got a fellowship, partaker, you got a mediator, you got an entreator, you got One that stands with you, and understand perfectly because He went through it, too.
The 5th chapter,
(01) For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
(02) Who can have compassion on the ignorant, [Compassion, see?] and on them that are out of the way; for… he himself also is compassed with infirmity. [And if it weren’t for his compassion in this hour; we as ignorant would be destroyed with those out there.]
(03) And be reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
(04) And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, [even] was Aaron.
(05) So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my son, [this] …day have I begotten thee.
(06) …he… also [said] in another place, Thou art a priest…
Now he’s embellishing the thing about the Son. And remember, he could not have been the Son unless He taken away… priest glorified state to one side and come down and taken up flesh.
(06) Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
(07) Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
Now he didn’t say he was dying on the cross; what is this all about? Soul went down to Hades. And God raised him from the dead.
(08) Though he were a son, yet learned he obedience by the things… he suffered;
(09) And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
(10) Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
We go to chapter 6, and beginning at verse 13 which we read already here.
(13) …God made promise… he could swear by [none other]… [So we don’t have to read that again.]
Now we go into the 7th chapter, then we could read verses… I will not read it.
What I am going to do is read 25 again and we got to leave the context alone.
(25) Wherefore he is able… to save… also… save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
Now if He ever needed to be an intercession… interceder for the uttermost; it’s today when the Laodicean age is rich, increased in goods, naked and blind.
And they say, “Why, we’re dressed up in the robes of glory, hallelujah. We got on the wonderful robes of Almighty God. We’re increased in goods, we don’t lack anything. Look at us. Look at us.”
Eat vomit and don’t know it. Yum, yum, that’s good. That’s great. Dogs and the vomit; I can understand pigs in the wallow.
If they ever need an intercessor; they need one at this particular time. And it says right here, positively, ‘that perfection could not come by Levitical priesthood, it could only come through the order of Melchisedec.’
Which we know that priesthood did come through and we have it today.
Now, we could go… let’s read… Well, I could read on 26.
(26) For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
(27) Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first [of] his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
(28) For the law [made]… For the law men high priests… For the law maketh men high priest which have infirmity; but the word of [an] oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for ever.
(01) Now… the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty… [on high]; [He can be on his Father’s throne right now if he’s on the right hand then what about now? He’s on it and He’s still the same person.]
(02) A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, …not man.
(03) [And] every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: [there]fore it is… necess[ary] that his man… also [have somewhat] to offer.
(04) For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: [Now this priest is not on earth. He had to be risen from the dead and taken up there.]
(05) Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: …See, saith he, …thou make all things according to the pattern [I] shewed… thee in the mount.
(06) But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry,…
Now the excellent ministry which is greater is a Melchisedec ministry; the priesthood and its higher than the heavens.
In other words, there’s no authority beyond it. Because the word ‘heaven’ means ‘a high place’ ‘a place of authority’ ‘supremacy’. There’s no greater authority.
Have we lost our authority in heaven? Has He lost control? Has He been put down to one side? Did God raise Him up to put Him down to put Him up again?
In other words, we got a yo-yo religion. I think something smells not in Denmark but in the Branhamite message. Not in William Branham.
(06) …mediator of a better covenant, …established upon better promises.
(07) For if that first covenant had been faultless, then… no place [should] have been [found] for the second.
(08) [But] finding fault with them, he [said], Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: [give him a priesthood, entirely different.]
Let’s go to 9:11 to 15 because time is running out.
(11) But Christ be… come an high priest of good things to come, …being come an high priest of good things to come, [and] by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
(12) Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
(13) For if the blood of bulls and… goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
(14) How much more shall the blood of [Jesus] Christ, …of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit, offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
I want to ask you a question. Are we here to serve God and worship God? Oh, of course not, it’s all over.
That’s like that two soul stuff; you didn’t do it. Oh, but you did. You’ll find out you did it. Someone’s perverting Scripture here.
Someone is desperately perverting the Scripture that we are reading and I certainly don’t believe that it is we here today. We’re serving God.
“They could [shall] be mine,” saith the Lord of Hosts, speaking of these people who talk to each other, “in the day when I make up my jewels and I will spare them as a man spareth his own son that serves him. And you shall be turned again and discern between the righteous and wicked and between those that serve him and those who don’t.” Huh?
Certainly if you’re not serving Him in this Message you don’t have a high priest, don’t even talk about it. How can you have?
The Blood doesn’t work without the Word and the Word doesn’t work without the Blood. And if you don’t have a Word why have you got a high priest?
The high priest was to make up the necessity and disparity between the perfect and the imperfect or God and His children.
And the disparity always lies in a word, whether that Word is believed or walked in or not.
(15) And for this cause he is [a] mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
And if you don’t have that; you don’t have an eternal inheritance. So he that doesn’t have the Son doesn’t have the Father; neither he that doesn’t have the Father, doesn’t have the Son. Let’s face it.
Let’s go to 10:
(11) And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sin…:
(12) But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
There it is again. In other words, Brother Branham said, “God doesn’t have a hand.” But that purports authority and power.
Now remember the word ‘Lord’ in the New Testament means ‘controller’ ‘one in control’. Who’s in control? Somebody comatose? Gone back to dust? Propped up in a corner somewhere?
I wonder if anybody really understands the exaltation of Jesus Christ? If you consider the Pentecostal age and what is in it; I have never seen such malnutrition outside of the Roman Catholic Dark Age of the Fourth Church Age.
And I think even some of their great ones that were truly born of Almighty God and stood there as a witness had a whole lot more to what I see today because no age is spoken of as this age.
Perilous times, wretched, miserable, blind, and Jesus outside of his own church: you can’t find that in the Fourth Church Age. Something certainly, radically wrong.
Hebrews 10:
(12) But this man after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
(13) From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. [And it’s going on now.]
(14) For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
That’s what Brother Branham said, “The Blood perfects the Bride.”
In other words, there’s no recourse from that time on if you’re Bride; that does it. You will not get away from God; you’ll make it, you’ll be there.
But when rewards are handed out; it might be another story, right? The presentation.
(14) For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
(15) Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness… for after that he had said before,
(16) This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days,… I will put my laws in… their heart…, and in their minds will I write them;
How are you going to do that except by the Holy Ghost? It tells you right here; if you really are a child of God and the Blood has cleansed you; there is no way you will not be full of the Holy Ghost. There’s no way you will not come in.
All right.
Now then, with 10… 11, we’re reading on a little further.
(17) And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
(18) Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
(19) Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
(20) By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; [Now remember, when you take off the veil, what have you got? God—plumb God—because God was in Christ. See?]
(21) And having an high priest over the house of God; [whose house we are.]
(22) Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. [That’s Ephesians 5 at this end time.]
(23) Let us hold fast the [con]fession of our faith without wavering; (for… faithful [is he] that promised;) [Saying the same things out of the same time getting dressed—not for a carnival—the Great Wedding Supper.]
(24) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
That means to excite to paroxysms. To show that it works. It pays to serve God.
Not like these Pentecostals say, “Oh, bless God, I gave ten dollars and God gave a hundred back.” That’s a lot of hogwash, although it is true.
You can euchre God into that position by His Word, but that’s not the spirit that I work with.
The spirit is one of anticipation, looking to do good, trying to do good, actually doing good, giving your substance, of your penury; knowing that God will more than give it back because you’re relying on His Word.
I hope I can get you to understand that; we’re not… this is not some kind of a gimmick we’re talking about. May God help us to get to the real life of the Word and Its here.
(24) …let us consider one another to [excite to paroxysm, to get them moving.]
This is where people think let them scream, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, scream, scream, oh, good heavens, please don’t pull that on me.
I like what old Horace King said years ago, he said, “I’m going to tell you something, Vayle,” he said, “you Pentecostals, your screaming and lying because your lives are full of sin; it’s a cover-up.”
Oh, God, did he blast my soul. Here’s a guy with more Holy Ghost and insight, not having spoken in tongues than the guy who did. Because I didn’t want insight; I wanted a cover-up.
Hallelujah, Jesus. Never mind the Word, never mind believing, never mind doing. Hallelujah, Jesus. Oh, such legalists though, condemned everybody.
And those that believe in eternal security they were going plumb to hell. Oh, we had that a lovely lie, we’re Trinitarians and we spoke in tongues, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now if you would have been in Pentecost like I was you ought to get your hide burned right now with the way I am talking to you: if your hides not burning… you’re dead.
I know Pentecost; I know what it’s all about and don’t tell me I don’t. Never did have the Word, never did believe It and their women have contributed to homosexuality.
Don’t look at me, look at the Bible: chapter 1 of Romans. You can read and I can read. They held down the truth and went into perversion: rotten scum, brute beasts, animals.
All right.
(25) Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
(26) For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sin…,
(27) But a… fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
Come on. 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10. Right? You’re not very enthusiastic.
Have I dampened your ardor this morning? It’s the only hope I got. It’s the only hope I got. My hope’s not just built upon the blood.
My hope is built upon what the blood had to come for because they went off of the Word and no sins are purged without blood.
And… why must you get purged? Because you and I went against the Word. Oh yes, and if we talk about the blood after vindication; don’t even talk about it. Don’t even talk about it? You’re going to die.
Hebrews 10:
(28) He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or [at the most] three witnesses:
And what is the witness of this hour? God Himself, there’s His picture and a vindicated prophet and a THUS SAITH THE LORD.
Malachi 4, right? ‘Leaving neither root nor branch.’
(29) Of how much [a] sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy [of], …trodden under foot the Son of God, and… counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite [un]to the Spirit of grace?
Here’s the manifestation of the fullness of God in a human body. God Himself manifested proving that God was there.
He dies upon Calvary; He rises again, puts His blood… well I don’t know if it’s on the mercy seat or what as Brother Branham said one place, “It fell on the ground went back to the elements.”
Blood shed that’s all the matters. Heaven’s purified everything. Here He is, here’s this One. And they all talk about loving Him, hallelujah, hallelujah.
And they’re trampling Him underfoot, the same as the Church of Christ hates God and His Son because they deny healing.
As Jesus said, “If had not done the works no other man did, they had not sinned but now they’ve both seen and hated both me and my Father.”
They talk about love and God says they hate Him because they love the god of their imaginations; that’s all they love.
Now we reading,
(30) For [you] know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
2 Thessalonians, there it is again.
(31) It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
They’re already in God’s hand who’s here. Oh, you say they’re in the devil’s hands, oh yes, they are but God’s here and His hands bigger than the devil’s hands. He’s coming to take back and take over.
(31) It is a fearful thing to fall…
(32) But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after [you] were [enlightened and so on. Well, let’s keep reading.]
(33) Partly, [while you are] made a gazingstock… by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, [while you are] companions of them [Oh, there again, you’re] companions of them that were so used.
I tell you, if you’re mine companion you’ll be hated. “Oh, Vayle, preaches two gods. Don’t talk to me, I know he’s preaching two gods, I’m right, he’s wrong. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.”
Here’s the Bible, son, here’s what Brother Branham said. One hundred pages. Ha.
I ask you a question. If you had an employee that acted like that on the job that you gave him; what would you do to him?
[Someone says, “Fire him.”]
Yeah, you would. And that’s what’s just going to happen to and the word ‘fire’ has a double meaning in this particular time.
(34) [Companions;] [that] joyfully [took] the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.
(35) Cast not away therefore your confidence, [Saying the same thing again.] which hath great recompence of reward.
(36) For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
(37) For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
Now hold it; that is Acts the 3rd chapter. That after the great healing revival, the manifested Presence, the Word must be restored or Jesus Himself cannot come down to be incarnated by God.
This particular time patience is required. And they’re all falling away, running back to Pentecost.
Have we got five minutes? We got enough time.
For the just shall live by faith.
Now listen,
(38) …[and] if any man draw back, my soul [will] have no pleasure in him. [“Live, die, sink, swim: you’re stuck.” said God.]
(39) But we are not of them [that] draw back… to perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
Now brother/sister, let’s look at Omega. Omega is the Lamb upon the throne. What is lamb? Sacrifice.
The sacrifice is on the throne; the wounds are there. The scars are there. The Mediator is there. The Intercessor is there. He is on the throne and the Pillar of Fire above the throne.
Never a time when we don’t see Jesus, Son of God, Son of man, standing between sons of God and God Himself and the only One with authority, the only One given control, according to some preachers is now out of control and doesn’t have control. I defy their theology.
At no time do we ever see Jesus not standing between the sons of God and God Himself. The only One given authority that’s exactly what the Bible teaches in Colossians.
And by that Word alone and the Word is sovereign; the sovereignty of God revealed. And Jesus stands sovereign in complete oneness and obedience and that is how He is ‘Christ the Mystery of God Revealed’.
And that is how at the end time we see Him in this hour bringing us as we’re read many times in Hebrews 16 to 29; we are now called Bride, Zion, New Jerusalem.
And he that speaketh from heaven has spoken and we have heard those words, there is no doubt about it. And the Bible says at that time ‘our God is a consuming fire.’
And you have 2 Thessalonians, the 1st chapter again. And I say to you if you do not have Jesus in these offices that God has set forth, you do not have him bodily the fullness of God.
You do not have him here, as the Bible said, I suggest to you, not just suggest but go back to the time of Paul, he said, “Already the virgin mind has been seduced—not raped—seduced, she wanted it.”
She’s no longer a virgin. She has another Jesus, another spirit, another word. If this isn’t Omega, I don’t know what Alpha is.
Well, that’s all I have to say this morning. Somebody’s off the Word and when they get together and talk as they did in Canada, they’re holding meetings and having as they have now and they’re Jesus-Only, denying the Father, making the Father the Son. Something is wrong somewhere.
Why don’t they go over ‘Who is This Melchisedec’? one more time and ask God to help them.
Because you must enter those… this with the same heart you enter the Bible, for the heart that wants to learn, that has no thoughts of its own, or doesn’t want any; it simply… wants to know, “What is truth?”
And waits for the truth by the Spirit of God to bring it to their consciousness, to their spirits, and to their souls and finally to immortality.
Let’s rise and be dismissed.
Heavenly Father, we thank You again for the time we have together, even though this is another time that we do not particularly enjoy and have any great love for on the grounds that it seems so negative and it seems… it makes us wonder; what in the world is going on?
When we have so much joy and just, simulation and going to reading what the prophet said and just going word by word, like we have been doing in ‘Leadership.’
And yet Father, I do not believe that time has been wasted, if I’ve said things I shouldn’t have said, I pray You forgive me Lord, it should not be that way. It should be saying the things that are right at all times and the right spirit.
And not to condemn men but condemn that which is wrong which started way back there in the Garden, to take away from the tree of life bringing in unbelief and going into the realm of the enemy.
Father, we’re tired of the enemy. We want to partake of that Tree of Life. We do with all of our hearts.
We know that it’s here today for the taking thereof and will never add or take a Word but will stand right with the Word, especially that which is of this hour because that’s what we’re committed to.
Even as Paul was and every born-again child must be, in the measure, in the hour in which it is.
So Father, help us in all these things to be truly committed to Your Word and not believe and entertain those things that are running around where people speculate. But just believe what the prophet said.
Lord, you know that he said it in enough places that no one should even need to take a moment with the things which are set forth here this morning concerning what has been said which is the truth, which is from your Word and we stand with It.
Knowing then that our fellowship is with the Father and the Son and we are living in the Spirit, help us, now God to walk in the Spirit, move in It.
To not just live in that light growing but walk with the light and the blood cleansing and the fellowship all consuming more and more.
Oh what a fellowship day it’s going to be, all because our fellowship is in Him, the one and only great Son of God who died and rose again and is now at the right hand of the Majesty on high.
There in control, there the authority, there Lord, the one with whom we deal to deal with You and You deal with us by dealing with him.
How wonderful to know that a satisfactory arrangement has been made, that a quick claim made upon us concerning our sins and those things that are so vital to our salvation, just asking us Lord, for a deeper filling of the Holy Spirit by the Word to be more consummate in our walk toward You and our conscience in everything until we are as Brother Branham, able to say, “We always do what we want; we always want to please You and live in a great measure of doing the same thing.”
Heal the sick amongst us, we pray Lord, and help us to be more dedicated in all things. We give You the glory.
Now unto the King eternal, immortal, the only wise God be all power, honor, and glory through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
‘Take the Name of Jesus with you.’
