Shall we pray.

Heavenly Father, we welcome Your Presence through the Holy Spirit this morning. And we beseech You to be kind to us by revealing Your Word, Lord, in a definitive manner which we cannot have outside of Yourself, even though a prophet brought it.

Because, Lord, we know except those are the elective seed that have been renewed by the Holy Spirit, we do not… we are not able to receive. We pray, Lord, believing that we are, that You help us now.

That we know, Lord, it’s something like just putting ourselves out in Your hands, which indeed it really is.

A matter of life and death, live, die, sink or swim, Father, because we don’t want to be off the Word. We want to believe it and we want to understand wherein we stand if that is possible.

We know that some things will remain mysterious to us until it’s after the fact. And we know it’ll soon be after the fact concerning the resurrection, the glorious change to immortality, the catching up and the actual participating, and the Second Coming, meeting You in the air, then Wedding Supper and all those things contingent to it.

But Lord, we know that there are certain things that are given to us here that belong to us, even as the prophet Moses said: The secret things belong unto the Lord, our God, but the Word belongs unto us; that Word given to us and to a thousand generations.

And we believe at the end-time there is a clarification that we are heir to. And we pray that what is to be ours will be given us.

We ask for Your help, Lord, knowing that without You we can do nothing. Even as the prophet said, anybody’s hands can open the book, but only You, Lord, can truly open the Word in the book, revealing them to us.

We ask these mercies in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

You may be seated.

Now, last night we were discussing a letter that a brother wrote me. And he was attempting to find information which would be valuable to him as one who believes in Brother Branham’s message.

And of course, he’s where we all are. There are certain things that we certainly are able to grasp hold of and believe with all of our hearts, just bank on it as vindicated Word.

But some of the nuances or some of those little areas within the mysteries remain mysterious to us even as Brother Branham quoting Scofield and others of that particular ilk mentioned that always there’ll be an element remaining within the mystery.

And of course, if you simply take that back to the Godhead, that in itself is very, very difficult.

Even as Brother Branham said, “I know what I’m saying,” but he said, “Perhaps you’re not getting it because I can’t express it.”

And of course, to me that’s always been kind of like an understatement, because actually you’ll find him as it… many times as it were taking the shortcut which ends up as Jesus Only, rather than to seeing the whole picture that he taught us, particularly as he went into such as “Who is this Melchisedec?”

Now the boy meant… is talking here that he believes the message with all his heart and the three following steps he believes are extant, and he’s part of it.

Repent, number 1, be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. He didn’t use the word ‘Lord’ in there, but it’s all right. He… we just put it all together. And third, receive the Holy Spirit whereby you’re sealed unto the day of your redemption.

And he says in here, In the course of my studies I’ve listened to Brother Branham, Seven Seal series; believe it and the rest of his ministry, that’s the message, with all my heart as to be the truth.

I’m somewhat puzzled the Seven Seal Message. Seeking to find out more about this mysterious seal and the half hour silence which followed, which Brother Branham himself was under and unable to elaborate on.

See, there’s where he’s making his mistake there. Because he… I think he’s been listening to too many people who say the Seventh Seal was not opened, and we simply do not know it. That, of course, is not true.

Because if the Seventh Seal were not open, and they’re Seven Seals on the back of the scrolls, which is scrolls wound up, then you’d say, well, I can see this far and no further. That’s not right.

The scroll would still be tied up if you had… that Seventh Seal was not broken. And remember, Brother Branham categorically states “It’s broken,” and he says, “Who broke it?” And the Lamb broke it.

So, the Seventh Seal has been opened. But there is… that there is a great deal of mystery still retained in it is no great problem, because, as Brother Branham warned us, there would be an element of mystery remaining regardless of what mystery has been broken to us.

Now, I have found that within the message today, there appears to be a split in some of the fundamental teachings. That’s a mild way of putting it.

Mostly in particularly is the fact that some feel that 1963 marked a dispensational change and which precipitated the coming or the Parousia of the Lord.

Now you see, there again the horse is be… is… the cart’s before the horse. It’s actually; the Lord Himself shall descend with a shout, that is the actual Parousia, the Presence.

And it’s not only the Presence, but it’s the Presence in the sense of the ultimate, which Presence began back in 1933 at the River… Ohio River, down at the foot of Springs street in Jeffersonville, on June the 11th as the seventeenth person or convert was being baptized.

And that was an actual ring or rainbow, actually came down as a ring and stood above the prophet and he knowing what… like I guess could have been a rushing wind too, or roar, I don’t know.

But I know he told the people to bow their heads, close their eyes.

And the Spirit of God spoke through him telling the people, “As John the Baptist foreran the first coming, so your message will forerun the second coming.” And that was the Lord coming at that particular time.

But you notice Brother Branham in talking of the time of Luther, Wesley and the Seven Church Age messenger, he brought us to the point where the church had been lying in the ground for that roughly one thousand years, the same as Christ had, now was coming back in a spiritual resurrection.

And he said Christ coming more and more into the church until He assumes headship. And so what you’re looking at here is the actual time from there, that cloud of angels, the picture is taken there with Christ in there, Brother Branham also being caught up as Seven Church Age messenger, you notice it from that time on Brother Branham said Headship is here, Headship has come.

And you remember that the actual headship of the church is Christ. Now we’re not talking of the bodily form, we’re talking of the spiritual.

And remember, Christ Himself has a head which is God. We’ll go into that shortly, but the idea here is that there the change that was precipitated at the very Parousia, the Presence of Almighty God Himself.

And you can see that in the Book of Revelation, the 10th chapter. And it tells you right there, it says here in the 4th verse,

What is the seven message… the Seven Church Age messenger, that because this is written concerning the sevens.

And God does everything in the sevens. And the finishing up is under the Seven Church Age with the seventh messenger.

And it says,

In other words, perfect, had nothing added to it, nothing taken from it, it’s completely whole, it’s exactly as God wants it and there’s nothing anybody’s going to do about it.

Now back in the days of Paul they did plenty about it. They actually went into idolatry. And he called it spiritual fornication.

He said, “You’ve been deceived, even as Eve was deceived.” He said, “So your minds have been contaminated.”

And so therefore the pure Word of God was being contaminated even at the time of Paul. And he warned it was going to get worse and worse and worse.

Now, if they’re off target two thousand years ago, how much off target are they today? So it says in the days of the voice of the Seventh Church Age messenger, the mystery of God should be finished.

It would be absolutely perfect, back to its original form as Paul gave it, no word added, no word taken from it, as God did declare the good news of the gospel by His servants the prophets.

So there’s going to have to be somebody the caliber of Paul, have a confrontation with Jehovah, that’s Jesus, He says, “I’m Jesus, I’m Jehovah Savior.”

God Himself said, “I am Savior, there is none beside me.” He came down to do it in human flesh, now He comes back at the end and He says here now, “This is going to be completely finished.”

Now, I read 4 and 10 together on purpose… 7 together on purpose, because you then go to Revelation 22:10.

Now, at the end of the book it says,

So therefore, between Revelation 10:4 which was sealed up and Revelation 22:10, it has to be open. And where it says, ‘Seal it up’, it says it’s opened and don’t you dare seal it.

Then how can anybody, if these seven books were opened, how can anybody, Branhamites or anybody declare the book to be sealed? Somebody’s off track. Now it’s open. You can’t seal it.

Now what happens when the book is unsealed? It says the time is at hand. So what time is at hand? The time is at hand literally for the Bride to be taken plumb out and everybody else left in.

And that puts the foolish virgin, as Brother Branham declared in another place, right with the serpent seed. See? They’re categorized now as one lump.

And remember, the foolish virgin will die. And Brother Branham says the church is purged, Israel’s purged, the world is… the earth is purged. Three purging’s under the sixth seal.

Now the sixth seal is already started, see? And literally under that you’re going to have the election, the bringing in the hundred and forty-four thousand, all the cataclysms.

So, it’s under the Seventh Church Age that the seventh seal is broken, that takes in the trumpets, the vials, and everything else that Brother Branham said runs its complete course and shoots off like a Roman candle into eternity.

So therefore you understand the seventh seal is more revelatory than anything else. And you’re dealing with the principle factor of a prophet giving us this Word.

Now,

And notice,

Now remember, Brother Branham categorically declared, he said, “When the son fell into sin by virtue of following his wife, playing Savior,” see? He said, “God Himself came down, He could not trust an angel or a cherubim or a messenger.”

He Himself came down, so today, with the book of redemption open in His hand. Now you got to believe it because the prophet said. It’s vindicated. I believe with all my heart, there’s no problem there.

Now, notice,

See not do His commandments. If you’re stuck with doing His commandments, I’m going to say, what commandment then takes you away from God? The one you didn’t keep.

No man ever lived the Word and no man ever lived… will live the Word outside of Jesus Christ.

Now you show me somebody, and I’ll show you a liar. And I’ll show you a guy that died. Jesus didn’t die, He gave His life.

He said, “No man can take my life, I lay it down.” So therefore, in the accepted sense He did not die.

Listen, Jesus being made a sin for us, He did not become sin, He became a sin offering. Because the word in the Greek for sin offering’s propitiation, and it means just the same as sin and sin offering.

So Jesus Christ thoroughly identified Himself with the sinner and became a sin offering.

Now notice, He said,

So He was there in the garden. Now what happened in the garden? Adam was excluded from immortality. See?

And He said here, “They that washed their robes may have the right to the tree of Life.”

And Adam could not get to it. So now who is here? The One who can take us to the tree of Life Himself, giving us immortality.

Now remember, Adam could not partake. Immortality was already in the Word. It was there to be partaken of. And had he not sinned, he’d have gone on and on in a certain area of just… of sanctification, more and more and more.

See, he got to the place he named all the animals. That was great. He could take care of this and take care of that.

But hey, he never actually really got to where he controlled the world. He was given that privilege. This is yours, comes on take care of it, control it. And he did it by the Holy Ghost.

But he only got to the stage of naming the animals. And when he got finished there was no helpmeet for him, which was one of his own species.

So God gave him Eve in order to multiply himself. To reproduce himself. So it’s a matter then of propagation.

Okay, at that particular time Adam could not partake of the tree of Life. See? Now he was in sin and he couldn’t do it.

But at the end-time, even though we are in sin, it is now time for that propitiation, for that which was submitted to God by Jesus Christ for us to go into effect that he that believeth on me shall never perish.

Do you believe this? Yes, but I can only believe it in the hour where they won’t perish, which is with the opening of the seals. You understand what I’m saying?

So all right. Then every mystery is ended as far as the gospel is concerned under the preaching of this man, this message.

You say, “What about the Jews?” It’s the same message that goes to the Jews. It’s the same Seventh Seal. He covered it. He’s ended the vials; it’s the end of the trumpets.

Are you bugged out? Huh? Or do you understand what I am saying? I’m just telling what the… what I read last night. I can’t lay my hand on it here or I’d do it.

And I don’t have a computer, and if I did I couldn’t work it, so forget it. Maybe I can find it.

All right. I think I found it. Now He said here,

The Seventh Seal 63-0324E 

[555-7] “We must remember that this Seventh Seal is the end of time of all things.” That’s right. The thing’s written in the Seven Seal book. “Sealed up with of the plan of redemption from before the foundation of the world.” Ha-ha! “It every bit ends. It is the end. It’s the end of the struggling world.”

When does it stop struggling? Well, he said so. Well, you say, “Brother Branham is just shooting off a little smoke.” Oh, interesting. 

“It’s the end of struggling nature. It’s the end of everything. It’s the end of the trumpets that belongs under the sixth seal of Israel.”

Isn’t that why Brother Branham couldn’t preach it? “It’s the end of the vials.” Who are they poured out upon? “It’s the end of the earth. It’s the end of time. Time runs out, the Bible says so.”

Now people will wonder about that. Now you know how times runs out in this hour? Because it blends with eternity and is being phased out like the Roman candle.

From this point on there is one set direction and that is New Jerusalem, the heavenly city coming down from a new heaven to a new earth. So what is this going on? That’s what’s going on.

So, if you’re talking about a dispensational change, that’s what we’re talking about. And it’s not a dispensational change, my brother, my sister; it is simply the Word of the God coming to pass. Amen, that’s the way to put it.

Not some hogwash by a bunch of pedantic individuals that came out of the face of a man. Paul himself called that a bunch of manure.

And I don’t see why I should call it any less. And of course, you know I don’t. Why should I?

Now it says here at this particular time they may have the right to the tree of Life. Adam never had it.

Now listen, he had the right according to the plan and purpose of God and predestination which was the ultimate, but he didn’t have it at that time. Course not. He was a candidate for it, but he blew it.

Why do you think we’re going to the Millennium for a thousand years? To learn something. And at the end of the thousand years Brother Branham said, he said the flames are going to go thousand miles high and burn every germ.

And yesterday I said it, every mosquito, too, and I’ll hold some of them. Talk about being vindictive. I never offered myself as a Red Cross blood bank to a bunch of mosquitoes. Them and bed bugs. Shee! Swell up, scratch, scratch.

I don’t expect to see another mosquito. If I do you’ll have his proboscis broken off. Ha! I’m vindictive. If you don’t think I am and a mosquito should come on the screen and poke their noses in I take my little, you know little hair puller tweezers, I’d grab ‘em by the nose and pull the nose off.

Say, “Go on now.” Say, “Brother Vayle, you’re sadistic.” Never said I wasn’t.

I’m telling you. You see what I’m trying to get? What Brother Branham said? He gave us the key. The Millennium is a further place of sanctification, of growing up into Christ.

And what we have here is the basic to the whole thing. Do you realize at this time we’re crowned by love?

God Himself has come down to enhance it and to bring it to pass. Oh, come on. You turn aside from this Word, Rhema/Logos, you’re in trouble.

And it says, “May enter into the gates to the city.”

What city? Ho, it takes you right from immortality in one thousand years right to the city itself where the Pillar of Fire is above the throne, the Lamb is on the throne, the Bride is there and all the glory to be brought in. See what you’re looking at?

You are looking at not dispensations, you’re looking at roles and processes within the Word of the roles portraying that Word and coming to a consummation. And He just folds the book here and drops it in our laps.

So all right. That takes care of that.

What is number… what is 1963? 1963 is the breaking of the Seals where God Himself actually stepped into the church as headship, revealing the mysteries, bringing about those things in this hour which we must have to bring us to immortality. Even previous to that will be the opening of the graves.

Now if you want to understand more about it, it’s simply go over here to the book of Ephesians. And Brother Branham brought this out in “Daniel Seventieth Week”.

Now Paul mentions here that the people full of the Holy Ghost, there was going to come a day,

It tells you right there the Spirit of God is going to come into the church and it’s going to bring about a resurrection.

But previous to it, it is going to bring about a fountain of knowledge from God Himself. God Himself revealing Himself. Now how does He do it?

See there’s where the minds get all fogged up and these big mouth guys come around and they try to make you think it’s by some education. Well, forget it. God never did reveal Himself by education.

The apostle Paul cut that to ribbons. He said my education was manure. A bunch of dung heads. If you want to know what your brain’s producing?

I could say some very fruitful things about that, but I won’t bother. If you can’t figure ‘em out yourself, what I’m thinking of, you… dead, you’ve got no sense of humor, no nothing.

You stand back and laugh at yourself after what Paul said. Pooh, manure. Hoo-hoo-hoo. I knew something stunk. Something rotten in Denmark? No, it’s up here.

That’s what God thinks. Not even fit to step in. If you’re lucky, it could back to the soil. That’s what it does. The body goes back to soil.

So if that’s what God thinks, so don’t try to think any better. God then made another statement. He called it vomit. Hoo, lovely dish of vomit. That’s your creeds and dogmas. You want to stick with your old line of thinking?

This kid’s got to bust out of it. He’s busted out of it to a great degree, but he has two fundamental expressions which, of course, they’ll go away.

And he’s a fine boy; I’ve got no problem there. I’m just laying this on the line there.

The Parousia… no, it doesn’t precipitate to Parousia. The Parousia precipitates it. If it weren’t for His Presence it wouldn’t be open.

Now, this meaning that the church is now in the Rapture cycle. Absolutely.

And the Holy Spirit Presence has been replaced by God the Father’s Presence, Logos, which occurs before we meet Jesus in the air at the time of the Rapture. Now that’s basically correct.

Now let’s just take a peek at this thought here. We’re talking about God, we’re talking about Father.

Now, before God could be God, He would have to be an object, which means He’s an object of worship. He would have to have something there to worship Him.

All right. Now before there was a speck of stardust, before there was anything except God dwelling in gross darkness.

Which means the impenetrable God, nothing to see; no way anybody could figure it, if there was somebody there to figure it.

The only figure would be God Himself, and any configuration would come from God according to the figure.

Brother Branham said, “A light formed.”

Now the light forming wasn’t created. It would have to form from what was already there. And remember the Hebrew for create and form are two different words; and make is also. So we got to be careful.

So Brother Branham saying “The light formed”, I take it to mean exactly the Scripture. Then what did it form from? It tells you in the book of Hebrews exactly what Brother Branham said.

What is the difference between God and Jesus? There isn’t any difference except a time element. One had a beginning. Now that was not flesh; that was not molecules, corpuscles. You’re going back…

Now let’s read it. In the book of Hebrews. See Brother Branham makes one succinct statement that just, hey, that just puts the cap on the climax. Nobody else would do it better.

It says here.

Hebrews, Chapter One 57-0821

[86]  “Who in the last days has spoken unto us in Son.”

See? In Son, not in His Son, but in Son. Actually in God manifesting a Son. Now that is a dispensation in that particular sense.

And Brother Branham had used it, a dispensation. “By all whom also he appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the ages; Who being the effulgence, the outraying of His glory, the expression of his substance.”

Only one of a kind. Only begotten Son who is able to say, restore to me, give me back the glory I had with you in the beginning, which says in the Word, “Being in the form of God he thought it not a thing to be grasped and retained, being equal with God,” to stay exactly as He was.

Because the Jews understood, if you’re a son you’re equal with God; the rights of the firstborn. He laid it aside.

Now, what I’m trying to get back to is this: In the beginning God… Why does it say “In the beginning God?” Because at that particular time there was, Jesus came forth as the Son, when they wanted to worship Him, he said worship God.

You know, directed it right back. That’s the One. That… and that is the Father. Creator. At that time He was the Father, he didn’t create anything. He allowed the creation all to come through Jesus.

Now what I’m trying to say is this: The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the deep. Now why does it say that? Why does it not simply say the Spirit moved upon the face of the deep?

Because we know positively that the book of Genesis is written by a man, and he having written it, it was in relationship to the people whose God he was to them.

So therefore the… He is saying, the God that you are worshipping, the God that made us, our God is Spirit and was in that particular form that he moved upon the face of the water.

Now, from that point on you will find everything is set in order for these human beings that came from Adam, and then also from the serpent. Heaven forbid we should not tell the whole truth.

They must now look toward Him who is God. It is not as though there were two spirits by any stretch of the imagination.

There is one God who is Spirit, and in His dynamic roles He does many things of which He appears in…

As Brother Branham said, He’s Judge in one place, He’s a prophet in another place, He’s His own prophet, He’s came as Melchisedec, many, many roles that He borrowed.

He appeared as a cloud, He appeared as a water, He appeared as a rock, as a whirlwind. Many, many ways.

So, we’re looking at this thought here then. Now, the meaning it now in the church the Rapture cycle, the Holy Spirit Presence has been replaced by God the Father.

Now that is not true. Holy Spirit is Holy Spirit, it is the Father. You say, “How do you know?” Because it tells you in the gospels. This One born of you is the Son of God, and the Spirit shall come upon you.

As Brother Branham said, “Any woman can have sons by two different men, but there’s no such a thing as a son having two different fathers.”

So make up your mind, is God His Father, is the Holy Spirit His Father? The answer is God who is Holy Spirit is His Father. That’s just plain understanding.

So what you’re looking at here in this particular instance, as Brother Branham said, “Just think, the same Pillar of Fire that came to Paul to bring the Word, is now here revealing the Word.

And what did that Pillar of Fire say to Paul? I am Jehovah Savior. He didn’t say that I am Jesus sitting on the throne. I’m that One. He said, “Why do you persecute me?”

Now what was the persecution all about? The persecution was all about the fact that God ordained within Himself that He’d come down inhabit a human form, the becoming God. God creating Himself in the form of human flesh.

Started way back there at the time of Adam. Predated that by actually the light forming. God manifesting Himself. God bringing His family to birth and bringing out.

So what you’re looking at here is actually found over here in the Book of Revelation and in the 5th chapter.

See, there’s no man worthy, nobody could live it, nobody was the Word, all of the Word. Adam wasn’t. Only one, that’s Jesus. God poured into Him bodily.

Now, “I wept much…” Now,

And there’s something right there. Root and offspring of David? How can this be the father and son at the same time?

“The Father dwelleth in me doeth the works.” Yet at the same time God created all things by Christ Jesus. Seeing your picture.

Now notice it says, “The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David.”

David has a root, then David is the blossom. Whatever came out, whatever David came from had to be from God. That’s why he is a man after God’s own heart.

Here’s the one now that came through the tribe of David. So what is he talking about? He’s talking about the Father within the Son. God coming down the River Jordan. See? Prevailed. He’s going to open the book.

And, of course, he ripped the seals off and handed the book back to the Father. Now watch what happens.

And verse, chapter 10:1

So the same One that was in Revelation 5:1, is the same One that came down in Revelation 10:1, and it is absolutely not the One who was able to open the seals.

He wasn’t able to… that’s a different One. The One that opened the seals, Brother Branham said truly is the One that climbed upon the Father’s throne.

Because in chapter 3 it says here,

So you see the One that came down here is the One that was John saw after the Bride was taken up. Said it’s all over for the church ages now, the Bride is caught up, the scene is in heaven, and what do you see in heaven?

You see in heaven here the one sitting upon the throne, chapter 5, and the one that came down, they are identical. Who is it? It is certainly not the man Christ Jesus. It is not He. Who is it? It’s God Himself.

And you’ll find here that’s what Paul says in the Book of Ephesians which is Spirit, God comes down Himself in order to reveal Himself and to make Himself known to the people.

Now, let’s go back to Revelation, chapter 1.

And in here…

And, going up to the 4th verse.

You’ll notice right in here that you have the picture of the literal coming of Jesus Christ Himself where Brother Branham said, “That Spirit that’s in our midst becomes incarnate to us, crown Him King of King and Lord of Lords,” and so on.

Now we’re going on down here though to the place where the voice speaks to him, he turned to see the voice.

And notice the voice is as a trumpet… and the days of the seventh church age messenger when he shall begin to sound. Definitely there is the voice of one. Brother Branham said a trumpet calls the battle.

Now we just leave that sit because that’s not important. But what is important is that,

Now what we’re looking at here in my understanding is simply this: You are not looking at the Lord Jesus Christ Himself; you are not looking at the man.

Now Brother Branham asked Jack Moore, “What do you think it is?” He said, “That’s Christ in His glorified form.”

And Brother Branham said it did not cut with him at all. And so he prayed to the Lord, and the Lord came back with the answer, “This is the Judge.” This is the Judge.

Now, to… we’re understanding then we are seeing the Judge.

Now watch the wording. One like unto the Son of Man. They tell me the actual Greek does not say “One like unto the Son of man, but one like unto a Son of man.”

Okay, this is the One that he sees in the midst of the church.

Now, with that in mind, we’ll take 1 Thessalonians, the 4th chapter, because all of these come together. There’s no way you can separate them.

Verse 16.

Now Brother Branham said Jesus does all three in descending, and he’s not talking about the man Christ Jesus, he’s talking about Jehovah Himself.

Why? Because only God can raise the dead. That’s His relationship to man in Jehovah complex titles.

So all right, we see Him there, the One who has come on down.

Now, with that we are going to turn to the Book of Luke. And the 17th chapter, we’re going to read.

And it says here, in the 17th chapter verse 20.

The word ‘within’ would have a double meaning there. Brother Branham told us that all Scripture has a double compound meaning.

And one of the meanings definitely is in the midst of you and one is within you.

So therefore the acknowledgment would be the kingdom of God in you is responding to the kingdom of God in the midst of you, and you would be the only ones that could see it because you are already a part of that kingdom.

And that’s the truth. You see the compound meaning. There’s no way you can get away from it. Only the elect can see it. If you came from God, and you’re a part of God, you’re going to see it. If you’re not, you won’t.

Then He tells the disciples concerning this very thing he’s talking about.

And Brother Branham categorically said the same light that rose in the east comes to the west. And he tells you what it is: it is revelation.

Because see, it’s got to be because it says here, “Lo here! lo, there!” There’s no use running because you can’t see it when you’re looking for it. The Son of man doesn’t reveal Himself, you’re out of luck.

You say, “I don’t like that kind of a God.” Well, that’s fine by me, you don’t have to like Him. No problem. God’s God.

If He can’t do what He wants, He’s not God. He’s got to listen to you and me, He’s not God, we’re God. You see what happens when you begin letting your own thinking take over? You can’t do it.

Now listen,

Now the word ‘generation’ does not simply mean the people at that time, it means the peculiar kind of people.

And they can go on for thousands of years and be the same generation. Why? Because generation means beginning, and what you begin you spawn and spawn and spawn and spawn from the beginning.

And this was a mixed multitude. Serpent seed and God knows what else. Three kinds of believers. And I said this is going to go on and on.

Now watch. Now you’re going to pinpoint it. To what group? This bunch that goes on and on and on. From the ark, only one perfect man left Noah, he died.

Now he saw one like unto the Son of man in the seven golden candlesticks. Right?

And remember, that real Son of man that stood up there, that said the Father is in me and I’m in Him, and He doeth the works, he took the book from the Father’s hand, ripped the seals off, handed it back, climbed on the throne, that One came down that was on the throne.

And John turned around and saw one like a Son of man. Now what Son of man? Vindicated prophet. And in Matthew 12 he tells you he’s got to do for the Gentiles what he did for Israel.

It tells you, only this time He doesn’t raise His voice in the street because He’s not a human body to do it. God manifest in human flesh at the end-time is in His prophet and in the Bride. And the prophet does it, the hand does it, the Bride does it.

Now they ate, they drank, and so on. So what you’re looking at here is what Revelation tells you. When John turned he saw that One. See?

Now, in the third church age, he said,

Now to him that overcometh… overcomes what? The inertia to open the door. The inertia to listen to Him.

How many Israel listened to him? For the ages they… barely a handful listened. So don’t think… How many listened to Paul? Barely a handful.

Oh say, “Great crowd, great crowd.” Ah shut up, there’s was billions out there. Drop in the bucket. A gnat in your eyeball. Less than a gnat. Wasn’t a camel.

Now,

Now he’s telling you at that particular time He’s sitting on the Father’s Throne. What are we listening to?

We’re listening then to God, not in the form of that Son that came down and died upon Calvary, we’re listening now to the days of the Son of man, which is God once more in the role of Son of man where He’s doing the works.

Do you follow what I’m saying? Because that’s what is taking place here.

Now He’s saying, “If you listen to me, we’ll have fellowship, and in listening to me in fellowship, you won’t be an overcomer. What are you going to overcome? The world of flesh and the devil. Where did it all start? Off the Word.

So how are you going to overcome? You can only overcome by the Word of God. They overcame the anti-Christ by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony.

And what is their testimony? Their testimony is the eating and drinking with Christ.

And Brother Branham spoke on “Spiritual Food in due Season”, which was the message which only the Holy Ghost can come by.

So here you see your picture. We have God Himself who is Holy Spirit has come down at the end-time, and He’s done exactly what He did through Jesus Christ in the flesh in the days of Israel, and He brought the message.

Now what is the message to the church age that you’ve got to overcome?

Okay, here’s what it is. You’ve got to recognize, because,

Now this is the Alpha who says I’m the Omega. And notice, this is the Alpha, beginning of the creation of God.

And it’s the end-time message, so therefore goes to Revelation 22 again, “I am Alpha and Omega.”

Hey, what do you mean? It started with nothing but the Holy Ghost and it ends with nothing but the Holy Ghost. It starts with God, it ends with nothing but God.

And notice, He’s the Amen; He’s the truth; He’s the finisher.

Now you listen to the people today, they’re red hot to get the gospel out. But it’s a trinitarian gospel. It’s a lie from the devil.

Now, keep reading.

Everybody wants to be red hot, but their red hot is in the wrong manner. And the actual truth is, they’re only lukewarm and don’t even know it. See?

Why are they lukewarm? Because they’ve got it in mixture of truth. Because thou…

Now watch.

What is the true gold? Because you are not born of corruptible seed, you are not redeemed with corruptible things, but by the precious blood of Jesus that tells you right here they don’t have the blood.

But they think they got the blood. Come on, read Peter. Put your Bible together. The Bible doesn’t run in fifteen thousand directions.

I told you once you see fire, that’s at the end-time. Once you see blood, everything gold and everything else refers… falls right back on it. See, we run in Scripture. We run in doctrine, doctrine that runs in straight lines.

So all right.

Now what’s gold tried in the fire? You get it right down to the truth of the matter is, you see how God puts His own Word to the test, puts His own blood to the test.

He puts it by revelation, by the prophet. You might not have caught that but it’s true.

Now listen, that’s the message that He brings to the end-time and tells you on these conditions of your repentance, because you are wretched, miserable, naked, and blind.

He’s talking to the church now. The elect are in there. When they hear that they come out and sup with Him. Those are the ones that’ll sit with Him in His throne.

They’ve always been the overcomer. And remember, the blood of the Lamb has nothing to do with any Word but the Word of God.

Because grace and truth came by Jesus Christ, and you can never separate grace from truth.

Go to John 3:16, 17, 18, you’ll find it. Why do people’s sin remain? Because they won’t come to the light.

Why does the world groan in darkness? Because light come from the east came to the west. They won’t take it.

And that which makes manifest is light and was proven absolutely by what nature this spirit is amongst us by the works that He did, which are the same works that Jesus did when He was here in the flesh, because God was in Him.

Then what was in William Branham? What is in this day? Now, you cannot fellowship with Him in any other way, neither can you overcome.

Now let’s go back again to the tree of Life.

All right, it says here, “Blessed are they that wash their garments.” What do you mean ‘wash their garments’? Wash their mind of all the crud that’s in there.

Get rid of all the manure that’s in there by denominational teaching and doctrines and all that hogwash. Get rid of it. Boot it out.

Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus, who thought it not a prize to be grasped and retained. Get your thinking down to where it’s the thinking of God through the prophet, not that junk that you’ve been inseminated with.

Hardly anybody in this message can talk Brother Branham’s language. They won’t let their thinking go.

I learned that before he died. He had me over a barrel. I knew I wasn’t thinking what he was thinking, I just thought I was. You think you’ve got the thoughts of God and don’t, you’re in trouble.

See that’s why Rhema/Logos is one and the same. If you’ve got real Rhema, you’ll have real Logos, real explanation, real delineation, real understanding.

See, now he says right here,

Take that back to, the Book of Peter and you’ll find that is this hour in which we live, of which they had a taste of on Mount Transfiguration, “This is my beloved Son, hear him.” An Epiphany.

Take it back there, you’ll see it. Rises in your heart. In other words, this hour is greater even than that hour.

That hour didn’t bring forth immortality in the group of people standing there. Just brought the dead up.

This is going to have maybe five hundred people, eight hundred, who knows, standing here and the whole world is going to be changed over into life immortal. See? The Spirit and the Bride say come, and so on.

So what we’re looking at here as I see in this particular thing that Brother… the brother’s talking about, we see Matthew, the 24th chapter and verse 28.

Brother Branham categorically said that this is the Word separating the people from the churches.

The message then that you sup and commune with Jesus,… with Almighty God, put it that way, who’s now standing for the Son, He had to anyway, there never was any time He didn’t, because God’s in all things that One that we see has vindicated His Word and He’s calling out the true eagles of God by the Word.

They are gathered around Him, and the Word becomes their tie post.

But over in the Book of Luke, in chapter 17… And I’m quoting Brother Branham now, so if you believe Brother Branham you got to believe me, because I’m just quoting the man. I didn’t make this up.

One fellow in Canada thought I did. He did… he didn’t read the… he didn’t know what Brother Branham said.

And over here; where does he put it here now? The day it rains… yeah, the day it rained brimstone, it was all over,

Now Brother Branham absolutely differentiated the two. And he said this was the Rapture. In other words, the separation by the Word was over there already in the Book of Matthew.

Now remember this. It isn’t only the Word of God that separates the Bride from the world, it is the Word of God perverted that separates the world church from the Bride.

There’s a hundred percent separation in Matthew 24. Now there’s a hundred percent leaving in Luke 17, where they’re gathered right unto Christ.

When Brother Branham said when that Spirit that’s amongst us becomes incarnate to it. Now tell me what Spirit became incarnate?

God Almighty Himself. The Father dwelleth in Him. We’re going to crown Him King of Kings and Lord of Lords, that’ll be the Son of God, the Son of man, the Son of David, the altogether lovely, rose of Sharon, lily of the valley, and so on.

All right. Therefore my question is such that in my search for the truth I was wondering what your stand is on the matter as one who personally knew Brother Branham?

Doesn’t mean one thing what my person–my personal dealing with Brother Branham, because we did not discuss this. We discussed other things, but not this one.

In my own personal life as I stated earlier, I feel as though I’ve been saved. Good. But have been, not reached the ceiling spoken of by Brother Branham.

If in fact there has been this dispensational change whereby we have entered a new relationship with God, the Father in a soul to soul context, then what are the signs, if any, that God received our sacrifice?

There isn’t any signs. The only sign is that you’re full of the Holy Ghost because you believe the Word without changing any of it. That’s all. There isn’t any other sign. No feelings, no emotion, no nothing.

How do you come to where you want to get? Piling Word upon Word, piling Word upon Word, Word upon Word because the Word of light… the Word is the conduit of the Holy Ghost.

You want more Holy Ghost; you want more Word. And the more Word you have that displaces the word in your mind, the more Holy Ghost you’re going to have coming on right down through your being.

The more Word you have in there which is alivened by the Holy Ghost, the more you’ll see the signs amongst you that you really want. Sick being healed, everything else.

God doesn’t say well now, now that I brought this great sign of the prophet, there’s no more healing? No way, shape and form.

Brother Branham prayed for the sick all the time, all the time, all the time. But remember, he said it is your faith that draws it out of me. It is your faith that makes the gift work.

Like I said, I can come to you people here, at least most of you, and you begin pulling on the Word so strong that if I was a brass door knob, I’d have to speak up and say something.

Just use… it’s the same faith you use for healing. You got the elders or somebody praying for the sick, just use the same faith. Just pull it out.

I told you, I used to turn… make Brother Branham turn around when he got used to me pulling on him. He didn’t have anything for me, but I could sure pull him. Just concentrate, I want something.

Yes sir, I believe he’s the man that got it and I can have something out of here. One time he did say something about me, but that’s just some little thing.

When he met me at the door, that was all I needed for a lifetime and eternity.

But you see, you operate these things, you actually pull them. You’re the ones that make it work. We saw that in Lima, when the gift of healing operated for the first time in five years, and the last time as far as I know and never operated again that way.

Fifty miracles in fifty minutes. Why? Because they were taught to believe this man was the one that had the ability that he said he had that God had given him.

Now I said, “God, what sign do we have?” You don’t need sign. The only sign is you believe the Word.

Now, let me just talk about this Word. How many minutes have we got? Oh we got good time. We won’t need all that.

We’re going to go to the Book of Romans here. Now, Paul the apostle has come to the Romans who were pagans, superstitious, ignorant, anything but enlightened. Now he enlightens them.

And because of the Roman’s stand against the Jews, I would say this is primarily the reason that Paul had to bring him the truth of Israel in order to let these people know what was what with Israel, and what was what with them, and bring it to them in the light of the sovereignty of God who does all things.

And nobody can tell Him what to do, when to do it, how to do it, or not to do it. He does what He wants. Nebuchadnezzar found that out to his own hurt, and yet to his edification.

Now he says here that this people Israel that had so much from God, didn’t respond. And the question would be then, well hey, isn’t the Word of God big enough for response?

And Paul says,

In other words, a pulling out from a pulling out. Right back there you see separation. Not Abraham only now, no, no, no, it’s got to come to Isaac.

You can’t say, “Well, just a minute, I came from Abraham, I mean Adam, and that’s going to make me perfect seed of God.”

No, no, there’s a pulling out of that too. You got wise and foolish virgin. Separation. Now you got serpent seed thrown in, too.

Now,

Now that’s just a blank statement. A blank, unqualified statement from God, and He does what He wants to do. He explains it.

He said, don’t get alarmed. He said, there’s a group within a group and a group outside.

I know a dear woman years ago when I was preaching on this, years ago, on election. She just went to pieces. Of course she said, “I just couldn’t take it.”

You know the woman could not have been born again. I don’t care how nice she was. And she was very lovely. There’s no way. You can’t turn down the Word of God and say you’re born again. Come on now.

Even a little penguin knows its mother and it come from an egg. And the calf sure knows its mammy. That’s what God said.

He said the oxen knoweth its crib and the birds of the air their pathway. He said, my people don’t know.

Hoo–wee, you talk about a bunch. Why, he said, “I–I bought the best land I could, I took out all the rocks, I fertilized it and then I put in good grapes,” he said, “good vines, and all I’m getting is sour grapes.”

He said, “ho man”, he said, “is this the way it should be?” No, all Israel’s not Israel. Don’t talk back to God.

Listen to what He tells you and you believe it. God forbid, there’s no unrighteousness with God. God is perfectly right. He’s honorable, He’s right.

Romans 9:

In other words, THUS SAITH THE LORD takes precedence over every single thing that you and I think we believe or don’t believe. Forget it.

Now that’s the battle of the mind. And that’s coming to sup with Jesus at the end-time, to reign and rule with Him.

Because there are going to be a group of people walk right out of here standing on their two feet never having died. The rest will come up. Don’t worry.

Now he said to Moses,

Now this is that church of Rome. Understand that when Paul got there, they’d already expect Junia and Julius. They were against the Jews.

I’m pretty sure because this is in 60 AD. Had real trouble there. That’s where organization started. That’s where the Catholic church is. The whole mess. See?

Now watch how man comes back against God and attempts to pervert the Scripture which is based upon the will of God Himself, which is God’s own revelation of Himself as to His personality, His nature, His working, and everything else.

Now see, “Thou wilt then say unto me, Why doth God find fault? Who has resisted his will?” Nobody has. So we’re scot free. Now watch.

Now you wait till the White Throne, you’re going to find it. Now how are you going to argue?

Now, did you hear what I read, those last two verses?

Did you hear what I read? You understand what I read? Okay, listen to it again. He does this thing, he makes this thing last out, see?

Now who is going to go through the suffering? That’s us. We’re going to go through the promise.

Now, let’s go now and you should know where I’m going. You’re well educated, but I wonder if you’re going to know where I’m going. Well, I’ll tell you because I don’t think you’re going to get it. 2 Thessalonians, chapter 1:

What am I trying to tell you? I’m trying to tell you we’ve come full circuit.

Because this is that hour that Paul is speaking of, the manifestation which comes by accepting or rejecting the revealed Word, and you are in danger because it’s cut and dried.

It’s a cut and dried gospel in the hands of God and He does what He wants. Your apt to say well, if that’s what there is I’m going to walk away from it and you can get cold in your hearts because you cannot respond to the fact of the sovereignty of God.

You understand what I’m saying?

People say, “Well, I want a lot of joy, I want a lot of this, I want a lot of that.” What you want is a lot of this Word that says listen, put your own thinking to one side, God’s doing this.

And I believe the very gospel of Paul that has been absolutely revealed to us in this time, the same Pillar of Fire that brought it is here revealing it. I see it.

And he said right here, I’m picking who I want to pick. Yeah. Now, question comes up, “Well, has he picked me?” I’ve just told you hundred times, if not a thousand.

I followed Brother Branham to the ‘T’. It’s this message that Paul brought. And when he broke behind the curtain of time in a vision, he said, “You’ll be judged by what you’ve preached.”

And he said, “I’ve preached what Paul preached.” And they screamed, “We’re resting on that.”

“You that are troubled rest with us…” He’s already come down.

I want to tell you, somebody’s going to be glorified in His saints before he destroys the wicked because that’s why He came down. You just get thrown here by these interpolations.

That’s why people get thrown by the interpolation of over there in the 10th chapter of Revelation.

They can’t hook it with the 5th chapter and they can’t take it back to the 3rd chapter which is the Seven Church Age, which is the Seven Church Age mystery messenger when it all runs out.

And he comes in here and he preaches a perfect predestination of cut and dried. And the people say, “I can’t take that.”

And he said, there’s no such thing as a manifestation, there is no such thing as a feeling. They say, “I can’t take that.”

Well, I got news you’re going to take it because you could have the fires of hell burning on your feet too, and you’ll take that. What are you going to do about it?

“Well, Brother Vayle, that’s nasty.” Well you better cuss at Paul then, don’t cuss at me. You better talk to God because there’s a message vindicated.

Now what came under the Seventh Seal? The Seventh Seal was God vindicating Himself to a prophet. God vindicating the prophet to us that we may have the Word of this hour. And we’re supping.

And Brother Branham said, “We’re eating just fine,” he said. “Spiritual Food in due Season.” People can’t take it.

Oh, you’re different, you’ve made yourself different. Hogwash. They tried to say Lee Vayle wrote The Church Age book. I never wrote the book.

Brother Branham wanted me to write it. I wouldn’t do it. He said you can put your name on it, and put all your degrees.

I said I don’t have any, except good, bad, good, mean, bad, worse and worse. Why? Because it wasn’t my theology.

I didn’t know about the Lamb’s book of life, I didn’t know about a true baptism of the Holy Ghost, I didn’t know about a proper Rapture, I didn’t know about the seals and these things.

How could I then put my name to a book? It was his doctrine, not mine. Never had a thing to do with the doctrine.

I never understood serpent seed. I knew it was there because I’d read a little of the excerpt here and there, but I had no idea how it had to be serpent seed, there had to be a genuine seed. No more my doctrine than nothing.

Jesus Himself said, this doctrine is not my own. The doctrine we’re looking at today is so cut and dried it can blow you plumb out of the water into the desert and finish you.

And people are leaving this message all over for this and that and the other thing. And I’ll tell you what it’s all about. They can’t take the fact of the true sovereignty of God.

It is cut and dried from before the foundation of the world. The trouble the people of God, they can’t see it that way. They cannot give, they haven’t got the humility. They haven’t got the humility.

Satan lost his humility because he sealed up the sum of wisdom in perfection. And he’s still manifesting it. And pe… he wasn’t humbled.

He fell by reason of pride and so the church falls by reason of pride. They cannot acquiesce to God’s cut and dried Word.

How many can do it this morning? That’s a toughie. I’ll tell you why they’re blowing up. They can’t take it.

They can’t take it the way He gave it. They got to put their own thoughts, their own ideas, this, that and the other thing. I’ve seen it.

You’ve seen it time after time. I brought to your attention in the pulpit here. Not that I got all the answers, but I believe I got a few answers. I believe I know a couple of things. I sure don’t know everything.

I don’t know them like the prophet, I just do my best with it. But I want to tell you something, these seals are right and they come right from here because he said so. Slid right in.

So there it is. So, does God accept us? No, only if we were accepted in Christ before there was a molecule. You couldn’t be in Christ unless you’re in God first because He poured it into Him.

Well there’s a mystery there. Who cares if there’s a mystery? So long as it’s the truth, I don’t care.

If I could suddenly wave my wand, if I had one, to make parts of my car work, do you think I wouldn’t wave my wand? Then let’s wave the wand to God’s Word.

Let’s just believe it. That’s all, just believe it.

I think my air condition got a forty thousand miles on the Cadillac and the air condition went. Shows you what a bunch of junk General Motors puts out. Cadillac is cattle wreck. A dog buggy.

Got a solid body, that’s all that I’m interested in. Why would it go out in forty thousand? You think I could just wave my wand?

Want to tell you something. I’m talking about the Word of God. This cures everything right here. Just believe it.

Now it’s not going to cure your stupid car and your horses and things but it’s going to take care of them down the road because it’s going to take care of you and put you where you should be.

Cut and dried, you bet, it’s all been lined up. It was written before the foundation of the world. It’s being brought in right now. People don’t want that, no, no, no. They’ll say “no, no, no, our church, our church…”

Who cares about your church? Fap! I’d like to see this place burn down, soon as we get out of here. Put your trust in the living God.

All right, he says here: This being the case… No, he said, Now they said… Now there’s a communication which is outlined in Romans the 8th chapter… Now there, then somebody’s talking about something I don’t know anything about here.

He said here: If we have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear we see the spirit of adoption whereby we cry Abba Father. That’s true.

We recognize the Presence of Almighty God in an understanding. In faith we have that revelation, we know what we’re talking about. “Thou art the Christ” and so on. Brother Branham showed us.

That’s true, and this is what the adoption is, but I want to tell you the fullness of the adoption comes into in–in the manifestation in the first resurrection, in the resurrection.

So don’t put too much on this, just understand this. Because God qualified us, we are thoroughly qualified for whatever and anything comes, but you have got to use your active faith the same as anybody else in order to re… some of the… receive some of the promises of God such as healing and provision and those things that are found in the Word. You got to use it.

But we do cry, “Our Father,” because we know who our Father is. Christ is in the midst of the church and by His grace we sing praises unto Almighty God through Him.

I don’t take this verse where some people put it. They’re trying to put a… something special on this.

There is something special there, this is the hour of adoption, that’s true, but it goes right into the resurrection under the Seventh Seal. I just leave it be.

And I tell you why… another reason I leave it be, and that is this: There are many people right today under a… there’s false but they’re correctly anointed, but not to the Word.

They are getting thousands of more answers to prayers than we are. But if you’re talking about a real distinct fellowship, that’s right, in this hour we are the only ones who have the genuine baptism with the Holy Ghost.

We are the only ones that are truly sealed in as a unit in a church to Almighty God, And we have our fellowship with Him, and we can cry, “Our Father,” because we know who our Father is.

And Brother Branham categorically stated concerning the mule horse the mule, he said he doesn’t know who his pappy and mammy are. He doesn’t have a pedigree.

He said we are the horses of God, so to speak, we have the pedigree.

And so there’s what you’re looking at more than anything else. This being the case, Brother Branham’s early statement about receiving the statement in lieu of God acknowledging a ceiling has elected son and daughter change in regard… No there’s change in you.

If you’re not full of the Holy Ghost, if you’ve not been baptized with the Holy Spirit, you’re not a part of His. You got to be in the church.

The only way you get in the church is through Jesus Christ, water baptism with the Holy Ghost, because that’s what it is.

And if so, what are the signs and manifestation, the course of salvation unto spiritual Parousia. The spiritual Parousia, that terminology’s fine, but I don’t even use it.

The fact is that God Himself came down. He is here in the form of the Holy Spirit. He is here the same Pillar of Fire is leading us to the Millennium, the same Spirit is going to be re-incarnated in Jesus Christ.

He’s going to take us up there, make… crown Him King of king and Lord of lords. I don’t–I don’t go beyond that. I’m not interested in connotations; I’m interested only what Brother Branham said.

And some of what he says here, I cannot see as distinctly related to Brother Branham what he said. I see it related to what people teach about what Brother Branham said.

I don’t teach it that way, I’m sorry. Naw. It either is or it isn’t. No halfway house. I’m not part of a son of God, I’m all a son of God. This body, hundred percent of God is going come back in the resurrection to prove it.

See? So all right. I’ve done my best to answer his question, taken a lot of time. We’ll have to send him a tape.

Okay, let’s rise and be dismissed.

Gracious Heavenly Father, we thank You again for Your kindness to us in that You have taken us into Your Word, Lord. And we believe that we have seen different things in here that are good for us to see.

How that these things have been worked out according to what Brother Branham said, and what we ourselves have seen as those things that are after the fact.

And Lord, we know that as much as we have seen things, as Brother Branham said, just once would be enough to turn a whole nation to God. America’s seen it hundreds of times, if not thousands and doesn’t believe it.

We recognize the fact that ‘blessed are those who have not seen and still believe’. They have the record and they know that the record is true because it lines absolutely with the Scripture. And there is an answer in their hearts that this indeed is the Word of God, the Word of life.

And so we appreciate that Father, and we thank You for the opportunity You have given us as we believe to be a part of it.

As Brother Branham himself said, “In that day you’ll know that I’m in the Father and You in me and I in You.”

And that was this hour at this very time, even as it shall be again as it was once at the day of Pentecost, looking forward to the great White Throne. Seeing within it. Then there is a progression.

And Lord God, we realize that it is progression all the way. And we realize men have never lived up to your progression, men have never taken it, but only the very elect have seen it.

And as we seen the… see this great progression, that God Himself creating Himself in the form of human flesh, coming right up to the end and seeing the great plan of the Fatherhood, all the sons gathered around the only Begotten Son.

To see the culmination, the New Jerusalem, the new heavens and the new earth. To know that it’s going on right now. This is started and it’s speeding up until it reaching to the Millennium. It just like overnight.

Oh yes, more and more and more into the realm of the completeness of not only what you have produced Yourself Lord, but as it were, into Your own Spirit those… that as it were vibrations, we come to the high level of the negative now to the positive more and more and more. As the prophet said, sanctification ever going on.

We appreciate that, Lord, and we take comfort today that though we haven’t arrived down where we want to arrive, we’re going to rise. But it takes this process.

Help us to stand with Your Word as Paul brought it at the–at that time, and now it’s brought right at this very time again.

“Who are you, O man, to reply against God?” O Lord, they have done it in this hour and we know it is true, they’ve turned their back upon it. Relegated the Word of life to the–to the things of the enemy, Lord.

And now the tares and the wheat are in full harvest and the… And Brother Branham said the combines are coming, the flashing red lights of judgment are here, I indict this generation.

All of these things, Lord, are right here in our midst and we know them to be true that You are here in Your judgment, and yet in Your vindication for Bride. And Lord, whatever You say is right. We know that.

One day, if we don’t believe it in our hearts and actually testify it here now, one day we’re going to be forced to.

And Lord, I don’t want to be forced to anything. No, I don’t, nor do the people here. Because You said, “My sheep hear my voice, and they follow me. And I lead them into green pastures.”

Oh, it’s a blessed harmony, Lord, of the dove leading the lambs. Not a driven force and a driven factor. But Lord, it’s You in all Your graces.

Help us to receive it this morning. God help us to receive it in Spirit and in Truth which it indeed is and has been revealed to us, until there’s no way we have any other thoughts but those thoughts which are of You, and in the proper Spirit of it all.

And we give You the praise in Jesus Name because You’re worthy. Amen and Amen.
