Questions and Answers #15

Shall we pray.

Heavenly Father, we marvel at Your grace and goodness, and thank You for it. And also, we marvel, Lord, at Your Presence. And then we marvel, too, that… we do not actually marvel enough, Lord, because we are not sincere as we ought to be in this hour.

We pray, Father, we shall be very considerate of Your Word, and place our thoughts and our understanding according to that which has been revealed in this last day, as vindicated Truth, that we might not err from it, but accept it, knowing there is a much higher authority than ourselves.

And though all men would come together, and to decide what that Word is, they are absolutely incapable of doing it outside of some vindicated revelation. Lord, we know this to be true.

We ask You therefore to help us to stand in that place where You have placed the prophets in the Word, and also placed us, we believe, by divine foreknowledge, and election, and predestination.

Grant Your power, Lord, to help us in this hour. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.

You may be seated.

Now, what we’re going to do this morning is simply sort of recap some things we went into in Questions and Answers.

And I’m not satisfied that I’d, you know, maybe did a full enough job in order to acquaint you with what is actually extant in this hour. Because, perhaps overlooking some things that we might have gone into.

Now, one of the questions that came from a young man was the question, you know, concerning that quote that Brother Branham used in the Book of Philippians where it is, “God in you, willing and doing of His own good pleasure.”

And Brother Branham mentioned the fact that he must “work out his own salvation with fear and trembling.” And he didn’t finish the quote from 12-13, which was:

And, of course, Brother Branham was referring to the fact of the foregoing dream that he talked about and the Scripture that he applied to it concerning Sister Shepherd.

Now, let’s just talk about this factor of Brother Branham using 2 Peter 1, although I think was erroneously put down as 1 Peter, which it’s not; it’s 2 Peter the 1st chapter.

And Brother Branham used this particular portion of Scripture where he says in the 3rd verse,

And, of course, the word in there for ‘power’ could be ‘dunamis’ or ‘exousia,’ which simply means the ‘actual power’, and the other word meaning ‘authority’. But usually whether one or the other is used, it’s almost always one contains the thought of the other.

Because, you could never use the ‘dunamis’ of God without the authority of God or you would end up… everyone would end up in the 7th chapter of Matthew where they come and they say, “Have we not prophesied in thy name, …thy name cast out devils, healed the sick, raised the dead, done many wonderful things?”

And He’d say, “Depart from Me; I never knew you!”

So, whenever anyone ever thinks of the power of God in operation in his life, he must be very careful that that power is operated according to the Word of the Living God.

Now that, of course, goes right back to the time of Satan when he was leading in the worship of God with Michael.

And at that time, of course, Christ was embodied in Michael, and was leading in the Worship, too, where you had, of course, one son by creation and one Son by actual begetting, which was Jesus himself: “This day have I begotten thee” or “In thee have I begun my generations” …where God brings forth His sons.

And you’ll notice, in there, that Satan literally used the power of God to a destructive end which was against the authority and mind of God.

And he dragged down with him, perhaps, hundreds and hundreds of thousands of angels. And it is said that one third of them actually fell.

Then you see the same thing in the Garden of Eden where Satan used the serpent who had a mind, he was able to reason, able to talk. And he was a very large person actually, a giant. He was not a human being.

As Brother Branham said, “He had a place for a soul, but did not have a soul.”

Now, Brother Branham went along with the theologians on that, that animals and beasts do not have souls. But if you carefully look into the Hebrew, you will find in there, that that is not exactly the truth. They do have souls; it’s referred to.

One place actually, I think it’s in Proverbs, it does refer to it. But Brother Branham made a little statement that most people never heard or ignore completely, and that is: “an inner soul”, where that gene is.

Now, there’s no such thing as an animal having an inner soul where that gene is. In other words, that little spot in there.

And so, where he’s speaking concerning the beast did not have a soul, I simply take it to mean “he certainly did not have a soul, as we understand soul, in the highest order, which is man.”

Like Brother Branham said, he said, “People came over here and they killed the Indians.” They were very despicable in their treatment, which we know to be true.

And then we’ve got to send messages to Africa of course, say, “Hey, you’re doing wrong.” Shew!! You talk about the pot, you know, calling the kettle black. Talk about sheer hypocrisy.

You’ll never get any greater hypocrites than that are in America. And they’re all over the world. Because, let’s face it, the Americans only came from the Europeans mostly. A few Asiatics, but not too many.

Anyway, the thought we’re looking at is that the white man said the Indian has no soul. Until one day they found them weeping, and they said, “Well, they’ve got a soul.” Isn’t that marvelous? Phttt! Whew.

Then you wonder why I rip and snort about theology outside of anything which is vindicated. What do I have to do with that junk! Merciful God! I’ve got enough problems now, without showing myself a complete fool when it comes to spiritual things.

Remember, “the whole world lieth in the lap of the wicked one.” And that doesn’t say the church is exempted, because the false vine is of Satan.

So, anyway, we go back and we’re looking at Scripture here. And so, we see here a man has that inner gene, and he must work according to the authority or the God-given permit, so that you can use any power of God in the right way.

Otherwise, you could take the power of God and use it illegally, anti-Scriptural, outside the framework of God, and then it would be very, very bad.

Now, you say, “Just a minute, how can that happen?” Well, listen: don’t you know that God created all things? And all power and authority is of God? There is no such thing as a lie, of itself. A lie can only be the truth perverted.

There can only be an unrighteous act of adultery, on the grounds there was a true act, which is a righteous act, which is sexual intercourse within monogamy and a marriage that God has ordained.

And so all power is of God! And what you do with that, is what comes for you, or against you. And only the Word of the Living God, that has been truly revealed, will show us how to use the true power and authority of God.

See, that’s why Pentecost is all wrong. Talk in tongues, do what they want, say what they want to do.

They end up in multiple marriages; they end up in adultery; until I told you a while ago the facts and figures concerning the so-called truly fundamental believer, when it comes to illicit sex amongst teenagers, the percentage is the same as though they are out in the world in the hog-trough!

What led to it? Ignoring the Word of God which was vindicated to them, the same as it was in the days of Cain and Abel.

It was vindicated that Abel had the true revelation, and positively showed that Cain did not have the true revelation, though he had a proper sacrifice.

Because the Bible said, “Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain.”

And, therefore, if Abel’s offering was more excellent, then Cain’s was excellent. And this was the unrighteous, or the evil deed that led Cain to killing his brother.

You say, “Well, I thought the unrighteous deed was when he didn’t offer the blood.”

You’re completely wrong! Sure, that’s what he should have offered. But you don’t understand. One person had a revelation; the other didn’t have a revelation. Because, one offered the blood, the sacrifice; the other offered a first-fruit.

And the first-fruit said, “Well, I’m okay, I’m fine.”

That’s why Brother Branham could say very, very truly, he said, “Cain offered a beautiful sacrifice. And he ignored the fact that he was born a serpent seed. Ignored the fact it was adultery in the Garden that did it. And the Bible distinctly said he was of that wicked one.”

Well, what do you mean? If this man’s of God and he’s got the gene of God, then this man is the wicked one, and then he’s got the gene of the wicked one! And what would that gene be? It would be a perfectly legitimate thing that has been used wrong.

Never forget, the devil doesn’t even have a word of his own. All he’s got is God’s Word to pervert. You show me one thing, you or anybody else has that isn’t here already! What are you going to do with it?

Do you follow me? Okay, we’re moving, don’t worry.

Now, Brother Branham talking here: “He hath called us unto the life and godliness through the knowledge of Him that hath called us.”

Now, look: you know as well as I do that the Holy Spirit was given to us to teach us. And so, therefore, if we have the Holy Spirit we will be taught the same thing. We may receive truth at different levels, but it will be the same truth, basically.

What I’m saying is, one may have a deeper understanding, far more illustrations, far more Scripture he gathers into it, but it doesn’t make any difference.

The point is: the revelation is the same. So, we’re looking at that.

Now… and you know at the end-time, according to the Book of Ephesians, “The Spirit… now let’s read it, so we get it exactly right, because I could blow this one by misquoting it… verse 17.

Now, these folk are full of the Holy Ghost. They’ve been sealed unto the day of redemption. That means they have got what it takes to get them out of the ground and give them a glorified body. They have it!

They are citizens of the New Jerusalem. They are recipients of the ultimate of Almighty God. They are the manifested children of whom Jesus is the Only-begotten, one-of-a-kind, that is their Brother, in the family of God.

Now, he says here:

Now notice that. It doesn’t say ‘love unto Jesus Christ’; it says ‘faith in Jesus Christ, and love to the saints’.

As Brother Branham said, “You can only love God as you love His people. And you can only serve God as you serve His people.” So, there you get where he took it from.

Now, he tells you that. Now, these people already have the Holy Ghost, but they need the Spirit to come. The Ephesian Church needs it to come.

And when it does come, it’s going to be the complete revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ by the Spirit of Almighty God, which is Revelation chapter 1, and on and on… He in the church.

Now, notice what’s going to happen:

Now, watch:

So, what they had back here in the baptism with the Holy Ghost in the first age, which was the truly revealed Word of Almighty God, a genuine baptism with the Holy Ghost, and the true authority of God in them, because they understood the things of God, gave them the right to enter into the resurrection.

But it tells you, here is when they get It! Yes! The same God Who gives His life-seal upon the individual to assure him that he will rise in the resurrection, that same Almighty God comes back in His fullness at the end-time to raise the dead. But before He raises the dead, there is a knowledge imparted to the people, that must be requisite.

You say, “Oh well, Brother Vayle, I wonder why?” Why… why can’t you just shut up, and listen to God for a change?

If I’ve got a million dollars are you going to come and tell Lee Vayle how to spend it? “Oh, Brother Vayle, …how to spend it.” Oh, I know, you want me to spend it on you. Out of my way, cousin. It’s my million bucks, and I’ll spend it how I want to spend it.

Now, you understand that. Nothing to it. “Oh, Brother Vayle, if I was in your boots and had a million, which, if you’re in my boots you won’t have a million… but if I had a million, and you were in my boots and you had it, you’d say, “Hold it, hold it, hold it. I think I know how I got it, and I think I knows how I’s a-gonna spend it.”

Why can’t we do that with God? Come-on, why can’t we? Isn’t He due that much?

All right. At the end-time, this Spirit comes into our midst, just before the resurrection. The same thing He wrought in Jesus when He raised him from the dead, and put him right up there, is going to do the same thing for us.

Okay, let’s go back now to 2 Peter 1st chapter.

Now:

Now, you notice, there are eight in there… because love is the last one. Remember, God is love.

So, you’re looking at an end-time manifestation – seven church ages. Brother Branham brought it to our attention. Seven church ages have one manifestation each that corresponds to a Christian coming to his maturity in every age, wherein he has these seven virtues that he recognizes are born in him.

And because they are there, he looks to the Christ or the God within him, the Holy Spirit, that is given along side to help him, the Paraclete, which is the one given to you to make sure you have the power and the knowledge, whereby you can live in the Presence of God, with the Presence of God, and manifest that same Presence.

Now, that’s a high order, but it’s in here. Our trouble is we function and do a little bit at a time. We don’t get our act all together.

Let’s face it: there are times when you have a perfect revelation by faith. There are times when the virtue is there. We’ve seen them healed right in their seats sitting here.

Like Jack Bell just phoned me the other… I phoned him, and he told me there was a certain brother that had a… he felt very bad internally; he knew something was wrong with him and he went to the doctor.

The doctor said, “Well, he said, I’m sorry. The x-rays and all show that you have a very bad problem in your colon here. Evidently, it’s cancer.”

And he said, “Well, I’d better go in, and we’ll have to have an operation.” So they took him in and they ran the scope down, and the doctor was amazed.

“Well,” he said, “This is strange, he said, the place is there where it was, but it ain’t there what was there.”

What had happened? They prayed over a handkerchief. Gave it to the guy. He put it on himself; the man’s healed. Let him out of the hospital, feeling great.

Every place you turn, there is a testimony to the goodness of Almighty God in healing. That’s why, as I say, as we pray for this sister, I believe the Lord’s going to take care of her. I just feel in my heart that she’s going to be fine, as a testimony to the people.

Because, I’m sure many, many people are saying, “Well, I know why she’s dying of cancer. That’s because we’re sure her husband was into some sin.”

I’ve got news for you: why should God hurt her if he’s bad? Wasn’t it enough that He took His Own Son’s life for us? You know, people just… shhew! Man, I don’t know.

I figure I’m a low man on the totem pole, but there are some times I wonder where in the world the rest are. I ain’t gonna bother looking.

Now, what you’re seeing, here, then… As I said, you have the virtue, you have the temperance, you have the patience, you have the godliness, you have the brotherly kindness.

And then, what Brother Branham said, “What comes in is the Capstone, where the God of love, or the God Who is Love…”.

Now remember, God is in threes: omniscience, omnipotence. Omnipotence without omniscience could go haywire, could go wild, could be destructive, could be the devil.

Now, if you look at omniscience then, and you combine it and you look at this fact of being omniscient, then you can figure anything out in the world. But if you don’t have the power to bring it to pass, what good is your omniscience?

Now, there has got to be a third thing, though. And the third thing tempers them both to make sure they are both perfectly in harmony, so that your omniscience and your omnipotence is in the direction of truth, and those things that are marvelous. That’s why God is Love.

So, therefore, if the essentiality of the nature of God is love, and He’s omnipotent and omniscient, you can rest assured, no matter what happens, no matter what we see, this God is going to see us through, begin to change your minds to the truth.

Now, here is where we’re sealed in, and our lives are completely ordered by the Holy Ghost where Brother Branham said, based on Paul, “I must work out my own salvation with fear and trembling; you must do it.” Because it’s God in you, willing and doing. It’s both of those things.

So, what it is, the people must realize that their impulse toward good, and the things that they would do that would be right and good, check yourself right away with the Word of God. See?

And as we begin to do it, the faith and all these things combined where we can definitely walk in the light as He is in the light, having fellowship with Him, and the Blood cleansing.

And we being really sealed up, truly full of the Holy Spirit can go ahead. But, you see, in these days people have not taken that attitude, with the result our attitude is simply, “Well…”, and as Brother Branham said, it’s true, “We backslide a thousand times a day. There’s none righteous. No, not one. We have an intercessor.”

So, the whole thing is over, “Well, everybody falls. A righteous man falls seven times. The Lord is able to bear him up.” And “Who art thou, O man, to judge any man’s servant? to his own master standeth or falleth.”

We could quote all these things, and vindicate, justify ourselves. But there is a thread in the Word of God that says positively, “We can be truly sealed in, live this godly life.” Absolutely.

Now, he took Sister Shepherd’s dream. She told him the dream. And in this dream she was wondering… before she had the dream, she wondered if she was full of the Holy Ghost. And she just wondered if she could possibly be. And she didn’t know.

She paced the floor. Finally she lay down, Sunday afternoon, I think it was, on what do you call it? …a duo fold or a couch. And there she fell asleep.

And in this dream she saw a mountain, and there’s a man on the mountain dressed in white, I believe, and he’s a big muscular guy. And he was pouring in water into a box that looked like it was made out of rock.

But you know that you can’t mortise rock too good. You can, you know, cement it and all. But if you pour water, it doesn’t swell like wood does. So it just couldn’t hold the water.

And as the water came down the hill she noticed that it was just churning up all the chaff and everything as though it had a turbulent effect, a powerful effect, churning all the dirt and things up, you know. You know how it is when water pours down a hill.

Little chips of wood and leaves and bits of dirt, and all those things that aren’t stuck together… you know, stuck to the ground permanently or at least in a good measure, strong enough, it just churns it up.

And she was down there where the water could have reached her feet; she was bare-footed. But it expended itself before it ever got there. It didn’t do the job of getting to her.

In other words, where I am truly baptized with the Holy Ghost. Is the Spirit truly in my life? Am I the person I should be? Well, you know, you’re not going to be perfect, but you aim at it.

Well, anyway, pretty soon the man picks up a great big jar of honey, a big bucket of honey, and he pours it in and… no, I forgot: previously, he said, “I’m pouring the Holy Ghost.” The water was the Holy Ghost being poured in, and it wasn’t working.

Now he pours in this great big bucket of honey, and he said, “This will make it stick.” Now, as it made it stick… what happened in the dream was, the water then split into five complete divisions, which Brother Branham says, “signifies grace”.

And as it came down off the mountain, there was no more stirring up of the sticks and all the things in there that were bad. It cleared the whole thing out. Cleared the whole mess up, and the water poured over her feet.

Now, you know as well as I do, you get Ezekiel’s vision: you’ve got the waters to the ankles, the waters to the knees, the waters to the thighs, waters to swim in, waters to carry you across; five. All right, she was in this condition, then.

Evidently the waters to the ankles, which you go back to the time of Luther; justification. That was the baptism with the Holy Ghost signifying, and as I believe… Now, Brother Branham didn’t say this.

This is my own understanding, as I look at the picture as he talked about it, that this could well be, then, the figure that she was literally then as the water coming over her feet, she was a person that had the Word for her hour, just the same as Luther did, Wesley did, and the Pentecostals.

But they all stood back, they organized and said, “This is it.” They couldn’t wait for more.

All right. Brother Branham, talking about this, says, “The very thing I was talking about, how you come up to the fullness in Christ, knowing you’re really truly baptized with the Holy Ghost.”

Now, he said, “All right. The first age had faith.” Absolutely had faith, which was the true revelation of the Word of God which Jesus Himself said, “The church is built upon the true revelation.”

And Paul showed that he had the true revelation for the Gentile church. And he said, “Other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, Jesus Christ, the Righteous.”

Now, how in the world could Jesus Christ, the Righteous, be a foundation, and that’s all there is to it? It couldn’t be, or you wouldn’t need a Word! And He is the Word.

So, therefore, Paul preaching the Gospel and setting Him forth by vindicated Word, proved that this indeed was literally Christ. And the power of God… Brother Branham said so truly, “The conduit of the Holy Spirit is the Word.”

You know that as well as I do. And the conduit of the Word is the individual. If you don’t have an absolute vindicated Word, the true Word revealed from the Word of Almighty God, from God Himself, there is no way that you can claim you’re baptized with the Holy Ghost. There isn’t any way at all.

Now, there’s a virtue that goes with all these things. And the first age, of course, was that wonderful revelation.

Now, the second age had, of course, virtue. And Brother Branham translated that as ‘dunamis’, as virtue went out of Christ to heal the woman. There are going to be scholars that disagree with that, but I listen to the prophet.

And if that’s where it is, that’s where it belongs, because he’s vindicated. To that come knowledge; to knowledge, temperance; temperance, patience; and patience, godliness; and brotherly kindness. Now, there are your seven ages.

And that’s exactly what we see sealed up in a Bride and every individual, all of these things. And can they be exercised all at one time? In other words, you’ve come to the place where that really is in you. Then God Himself has literally taken over.

Now you say, “How many people get literally taken over?” Not too many. See, that’s why it’s good that you’ve got Christ standing there as the intercessor, and the Blood.

Now, a certain brother I heard the other day preach and say something about, ‘the Blood was no longer in existence; It didn’t apply.’ There was no time when the Blood did not apply. And there’s no time in this Message when the Blood does not apply.

Because Brother Branham himself… and I want you to quote him all you want. Go to the book of Hebrews and you’ll fall flat on your face and cut your throat.

There was a vision given to Brother Branham in Toledo, Ohio, right in this State here, when he was criticizing a woman that he didn’t know had been a child of God and had slumped into sin and ignominious shame. And he was criticizing her deeply.

In his vision he saw the earth begin to turn and a circle of Blood around it. And the Voice said, “William Branham, except for that circle of Blood you’d be dead. Why are you criticizing her?”

So, don’t talk to me about you knowing what Brother Branham said, unless you really know what he said. Let’s not talk about visions or anything else until we know what the truth is.

The actual truth is, my brother/my sister, if it weren’t for that Blood no life would have come back upon us. It was that life that made the Blood out of the chemicals that are here. And don’t try to get the word ‘chemistry’… the word is ‘chemicals’.

Brother Branham said, “The chemistry of the Blood…” that would let you know certain things that apply within the Blood itself. But we’re talking literally of the chemicals which made it up.

And he said, “That Blood fell upon the ground and went back to the elements.”

Remember, that life came forth, but the Blood was efficacious to let the life come forth. And if that Blood was not efficacious today, there wouldn’t be one person full of the Holy Ghost.

So, all right, we have this here. Now, we come to the place where the seventh age has brotherly kindness. Okay, what is brotherly kindness?

Brother Branham told you, “Brotherly kindness is not brotherly love. It’s where you come to the place where you’re very sticky, [you’ve got fish hooks on your elbows] and you have a lot of differences. But at the same time [he said] two brothers should be able to argue bitterly about the Word of God but depart as loving brethren.”

Now, what would it be if I argued bitterly with you and to depart as a loving brother? It would simply mean that I extended every courtesy to you in the Word of God and I stuck to that Word of God.

I simply stayed with the Word of God; then I treated you commensurate with that same Word of God. But it doesn’t mean my mind is changed, I’ve got to sweep the dirt under the rug and agree with you.

In other words, love is found in the Word, and in no other place is it truly defined. And no other place can you get it as to its true manifestation. See? All right.

Now, Brother Branham categorically said, he said, “You’re pretty sticky. And you have your differences; you’re disagreeable. But [he said], if that one brother was really in great danger or sick or something, right away you think, ‘Oh my heavens, I had communion with that man. I washed feet with that man. What am I doing here holding my grudge?’ And you go and you try to help the person.”

Now, it’s not the easiest thing in the world. Do you know why? Because, though God forgets, we don’t. If we could forgive, and then forget, it would be great.

But most people naturally are honest, and they say, “Look, I can forgive but I can’t forget.” Now, the truth of the matter is, to understand love means that you’re going to forget it.

Well, you say, “Brother Vayle, I can’t wash it out.” The point is: fine! But do you have feelings about it where you want to get back at the guy or the gal, or is it just a matter that you continue to use your brains and know that person will cut your throat again?

So, what do you do? You just treat him nice, or her nice, and keep out of their way. What else can you do? And you pray for them and wish them well. And if you can do them good, do them good.

You’d be surprised the number of people I’ve handed bucks to, and everything else, which is just too happy to cut my throat.

What’s the difference? You’ll never cut my throat; never cut your throat. You can afford to be nice. No matter how sticky people are, you can afford to have this brotherly kindness.

Now, Brother Branham categorically said, that “Sister Shepherd and Brother Shepherd always had people coming into their home, turning nobody away.”

Manifesting a kindness, a consideration… what else could I say, a respect, that’s the word that I want. I know particularly a couple of men that came to Brother Shepherd and nobody would associate with them.

He took them into his home, he fed them, he made over them, he loved them, he gave them every kind consideration, he and his wife and family, that the Scripture wants to give.

And then one day those two men decided they could take the brother over. So they began preaching those things that Brother Shepherd knew were not included in the vindicated Message. They were thoughts that these men had. Ideas of grandeur. Ideas which would puff them up and want them take control over peoples’ lives.

Now, remember the little story that Brother Branham told about the congregation of preachers. They all sat with their congregations and all, and there was a young fellow, he was, oh very high and mighty that he was going to really put the cap on the climax.

And he came up there proud as punch. He started to preach, and went… and he came down with his feathers all dragging.

And the wise old preacher said, “Now, if he had only gone up the way he came down, he’d have come down the way he went up.”

So, this man said to this one fellow who was trying to run things, and he’s still doing it, he said, “Son, I’m standing here watching you go up, and I love you… I think those were his words, and I’ll still be standing here with my hand out, when you come down.”

That man was showing brotherly kindness a hundred percent. Because, these men had come into his home, and now they’re trying to betray him, when this man was one of Brother Branham’s favorites. You’ll hear him talk about Brother Shepherd, a real servant of God.

Now, this is what we saw in this woman’s home, and the man’s home. And this is what we are looking at, at the end-time seventh age, which is brotherly kindness! And there’s a stickiness. Okay.

Do you agree with me that Alpha’s Omega? You’d better, because that’s the Bible. If you don’t agree, it shows you don’t even know the Scripture.

He said, “I’m Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.” Do you know that everything comes full circle? Sure it does.

From The Principle of Alpha and Omega, I made a statement back in about 1981, I guess it was in Quincy; if you can get the tape, you’ll find it, that I said, “According to the understanding that Brother Branham left us on the principle of Alpha and Omega, the Ephesian age must return to us and become the virgin Bride that Brother Branham said she would be, and this time not fall.”

What was her fall? Second Corinthians. You might not know it, but we’ll look at it. And here’s what the good beloved apostle Paul said concerning that church.

And he said here,

Now watch: now he talks about these people that are going to come, and he says in verse 12.

He said, “I’m not going to argue. I’ll pray for them.”

Now watch:

What was a lie? He quoted the truth and twisted it:

“Hath God said, ‘If you eat this fruit, you’ll die’”?

“Oh yeah, that’s what He said.”

“Hah, he said, well, you won’t though. No, you won’t!”

He came with the Word of God and perverted it. The same as they’re saying, “He doesn’t heal! Oh, no. We’ve got the Bible, and therefore we don’t need any proof.” Hah!

When Brother Branham said, “There were eight hundred different denominations, according to organization”, he didn’t miss it. That was okay for his day.

But the last report I read, there are over twenty-two hundred. Three times the number. And everyone is purporting to go to a word which they claim to be from God. And we know this is the only vindicated Book.

So,

In other words, the correct revelation of the Word of God, so you can worship in Spirit and in truth. Now, you can have in print pretty soon, my little message on ‘Righteousness and Unrighteousness.’

I think I’ve preached it better in places, but you’ll get the real substance. If you want to get it, print a few more than we’re going to print.

Here:

Now, what we’re looking at here is: the Bride in that particular age fell because she left the vindicated revelation.

At the end-time it returns! As Brother Branham said, “Just think, the same Pillar of Fire that brought the Word to the apostle Paul, is here revealing it.”

And it was proven by the same vindication that Paul had, which we found in Romans and Thessalonians. And almost every book that Paul wrote you can see he claimed vindication.

Listen, you can’t come as a prophet of God without being vindicated before you ever open your mouth. Jesus both began to do and to teach.

That’s not simply saying, “Oh, people, before you even witness about Jesus, before you open your mouth, please live that Christian life.”

That’s very good, that’s very true, but that’s not the Bible! That’s a misinterpretation. That’s you applying a secondary, a less meaningful, a less true and dynamic interpretation.

The actual fact of the matter is, Jesus couldn’t open his mouth as a prophet, until he came vindicated like Moses, he had the right to talk.

All right, neither have you and I got the right to talk unless we’re talking what the prophet said.

That’s what he said: “Say what I say.” And when he said it, that’s where we on safe ground because that’s the truth. Okay.

Now, we’re looking at that Ephesian age. Okay, they’re the one with the true revelation and the true faith.

Now, let’s find out what the literal temper of that age was, in spite of the fact that history tells you, “Oh, how they loved each other!”

And the Bible also says, “They loved not their lives unto death.”

But I tell you, that’s not what we’re looking at. Let’s really look at the Scripture and find out exactly how those folk behaved back in those days.

All right, we’re going to go to the Book of Galatians 2. Now, you just listen carefully because we’re just going to blow maybe some things out of the water.

All right now, Paul says here,

Now, the Hebrew bunch, Peter and John and all the rest, said, “Hey boys, circumcision is it. That’s Abraham, and he’s the father of all the nations. Every male child gets circumcised.”

Paul said, “Hold it, hold it, hold it! Where do you think you’re coming from?”

Now, these men, as Brother Branham said, “We ate with him, we fished with him, we slept with him. We did this, and that with him. We held his head, he held our hand. He calmed the storm. He healed our sick, and we were there! We were there!”

And Paul [inaudible] said, “Hold it, hold it. I don’t care if I wasn’t there. I was born out of due season.” A young whipper-snapper coming along now. This bumptious pumpkin-head that killed the saints.

Hey, when he got smitten down on that road, he got smitten down. It wasn’t only his eye-sight left him, his stupidity, the thing he called dung, false doctrine, wrong revelation, wrong interpretation, fled his mind, praise God.

Now,

Hey! How discerning were these men… these apostles? Let’s just sit and think a while.

Some of you looking for goody-goody-two-shoes, there ain’t no such animal. If you didn’t have problems you wouldn’t need a savior. If you didn’t keep on having problems until you died and we resurrected, you wouldn’t need a mediator, an intercessor. You wouldn’t need God.

You’d be self-righteous; like the Sanhedrin said, “When God has problems and can’t figure it, He calls on us.” Pretty lousing thinking, if you ask me.

Okay:

See, once you get a revelation you say, “Phooey… live-die, sink or swim. What are you trying to tell me?” Not organization bunk, now; I mean a literal vindication.

You can’t budge a guy like Brother Branham. Ho! No way. That’s why Luther could stand there, fifth age church age messenger.

Now:

Now… and now it says, here:

…and read his straw-book, as Luther called it. But Luther was wrong; it wasn’t a straw-book. Luther just didn’t understand. And do you know why he had to call it a straw-book? Because Luther brought the truth of Justification without works!

And he thought he had to pan James who said, “You show me your faith without works and I will show you my faith by my works”, which is a hundred percent correct.

Otherwise, why have you got faith and virtue? Faith and virtue, faith and power of God in works! Luther didn’t really blow it. Hey, if you ever read his sermons, they’ll blow you.

You talk about absolute tremendous insight. Ol’ Luther boy is still one of my favorites. I tell you, Spurgeon was good and all, but… I love Luther. I know God loved him, so I’m in good company.

Not even our faith in him, but his own faith, Jesus’ faith in himself and in Almighty God, that he’s going to see every one of us through.

Now, we’re going to add works to it… Hah! Yeah, that’s like you adding a shot of pure typhoid germs into a glass of distilled water and say, “Here, drink it. This is the real thing.”

Ho brother, how wrong those men were! I’m trying to show you something here… we’ll get to it.

Now, here, these guys are in a bitter argument. And he takes the hide off of Peter and of James and the whole bunch of them. When he’s finished with his righteous declaration, their hides are full of buckshot.

“Oooh, Brother Vayle… love, love, love, love.”

And he said:

That’s the thing where we all go haywire! We’re too interested in our own faith which we received from Him by revelation. We don’t realize that’s based upon His faith! You’re never going to see yourself through.

When you and I have come to the place where we really rest in what I am talking about, then the Spirit of God can begin to live and move in us.

We have… we’ve, oh… I deplore myself. I’m not fussing at you. God knows, I would not fuss at you. When I look at myself, there’s no way I’d fuss at you. Nope, no way.

Now, I’m going to take you back to the book of Acts, the 15th chapter. And in there we will see these things that I’m looking at.

Acts 15:28-40, if we want to read the whole sphere:

You know, that’s a pretty hot little commendation. You know, that is nothing along side of Paul’s epistles.

They… they got a little puffed up, and said, “Well, Paul, what we’ll do, we’ll sanction you and we’ll be careful to tell everybody, you’re okay, bud.”

A man vindicated like Paul was? How many know he was vindicated? Honest-to-God, do you know Paul was vindicated like William Branham and other prophets?

You’re still sitting there, you don’t believe it. Or are you afraid to raise your hands? I don’t know if I can find it, because my mind is lousy, but let’s go back to Romans 15 and see if we can find it.

Now, verse 16,

Do you still love me? Who cares… you know. See, you’ve got to get to the nitty-gritty and see these things.

Now listen, let’s go further in the book of Acts, the same 15th chapter we’re reading from.

And Paul… now, now watch, in verse 32,

Now, not like Paul. These were five-fold ministry prophets.

Paul said, “If any man think himself to be spiritual or a prophet, let him admit… [let him testify right out] that the things that I write are the commandments of God. Let him acknowledge it.”

In other words, this man was not trustworthy on one occasion.

Now, remember, this happens after Barnabas had already been carried away with the legalist argument of Peter and James, the apostles, who stood there magnifying, “I was with the Lord… yes, yes, yes. They’d better be circumcised.”

And Barnabas said, “Oh, yeah, I think they ought to be circumcised.”

Paul said, “Hold it! Sorry, Barnabas, you don’t have a say. I’ve got it all.”

“Oh, said, oh just a minute… now just a minute!” Isn’t that exactly what Kora, Dathan and Abiram said based upon gifts of the Holy Ghost?

They said, “Just a minute there, Moses. We’ve got some gifts and we’ve got some anointing. We can put our little oar into this boat. We’ve got our two-bits worth to say. Yes, sir. Yes, sir, we ate the manna, hallelujah. We crossed over, hallelujah.” Oh, they went through the Red Sea.

The Bible said they went through the cloud all baptized unto Moses. Oh, yes, yes, yes. But when they got through, baptized unto Moses, they turned on Moses because they had a little bit of anointing, a little gift or two.

And Pentecost says, “Well, I’ve got the Holy Ghost because I spoke in tongues.” Hogwash, that is merely a gift of the Holy Ghost! Just like when a cow gives milk, the milk is not the cow! Hope that was a good one.

I always used the thought, you know… I give you my pen, that’s not Lee Vayle, that’s merely a gift from Lee Vayle. But when you get it down to the cow and the milk, that’s another story.

And at the same time, the cream is not the cow, but it comes from the life of the cow, as it transports that from chemistry into another product that is full of chemicals. They’re good chemicals, of course, in most instances. Oh yeah, they stood up.

Now, what I wanted to show you, here, is this:

“Oh, Brother Vayle, you read it wrong.” Well, you read it for me. What’s contention? That means to contend against or to fight against each other.

I want to show you the picture: in the first church age with the definitive revelation there was what? Brotherly kindness!

Now, Paul didn’t hold it against Barnabas. He just said, “Enough is enough; we’re finished.” And I’m sure they prayed for each other. And I’m sure they had enough on the ball from Christ that they loved each other.

The only fellow said, “They don’t have to… The Bible didn’t say you have to like; it says you have to love.” And that’s true, because love means respect. The basic of love is respect.

You say, “Well, you’ve got your position; I respect it. I’ve got mine.” That’s why you should never try to take anybody over… trail him down, find out things, everything else.

You’ve got to watch what you’re doing, because it’ll backfire. Brotherly kindness is a particular thing. It is tacky, in the sense that it’s like tacks, fish hooks on the elbow.

So now, what I’m showing you, here, is that as Brother Branham said, “Ephesus, or the Ephesian church, has come full circle! Now, continue to do acts of brotherly kindness!”

So, if you do have your differences, and you can’t trust a person, be good to the person when the person is down and has a need. Send money. Send food. Pray.

But you don’t have to run over and gush all over them and say, “You’re my best pal and bosom buddy, hallelujah.” Because you’d just be lying, hallelujah. We don’t want to do that.

Okay, let’s go a little further. Are you with me still? Okay, let’s go to 3 John. 3 John is very cute.

Let’s try verse 5,

Now, this is one thing about this church that I really love, because it’s a good reflection on the whole assembly: people come from many places, different places in the world, and they say, “Brother Vayle, we’ve never seen a people like your people, here.” Now, I like that.

They don’t say, “Brother Vayle, you’re good preaching, and you’re this, and you’re that,” because, that’s a bunch of hogwash. But I believe we have Living-Word people in this church.

And people testify, they say, “Brother Vayle, when it comes right down to it…” and they tell me many nice things. And what they don’t say, I tell them. So they have to know, the nice things.

I tell them how wonderful the girls can make these cakes. I say, “Hey, you should… it’s too bad you weren’t here when the girls really put the spread on.”

So, if you’re ninety percent, girls, I made you a hundred and ten percent… because that’s what you are. When you’re way above average that’s the way it is.

And so, you know how it is. And… I know how it is. We talk about the church we have. We tell how the brethren here did great work in the building.

How that one brother, one fellow was going to charge us about $24,000 to put the electricity, and all the wiring. And don’t you know, Brother Fazen came by, organized a crew and got in about $2,400.

We had some trouble one time and Russ Evans discovered where the trouble is. Nobody else could do it, and he did it. He doesn’t need his engineer’s degree. He is an engineer. Phttt!

All this hogwash about… oh, you know, it’s okay to write a paper, and have a little bit of paper but, hey… I like the thought that, “Him that can, does.” Put it together. Okay.

All right, now, it says,

Now, he’s talking about a very church that he established. And this fellow, here, because maybe he had a little gift of tongues or something, he rises up, and he likes the preeminence.

Now, this is where the elders and the deacons have to watch their steps. Because the office is, is what they desire, not what God desires. Because, if you desire an office, I stand with Brother Branham, you never were called!

You say, “Brother Vayle, why don’t you quit?” Because I did quit one time, and I went through living hell. And I’d sooner just get sick and die of cancer, or anything else, than attempt to quit again. But, as for wanting it, I never did.

But after so many years you become like the old horse that dragged around the fire wagon: every time the bell rang he figured he had to get up and go, and they finally had to shoot him because he couldn’t get up. Well, they shoot horses, don’t they?

Diotrephes loved the preeminence. Now watch: he kicked John out of his own pulpit. Now, watch the lovely John: “Now, brethren, everything goes. Even if I’m boiled in a pot of oil, it’s okay by me.”

Now, he didn’t say that, but I’m just putting that on to let you know that John was a sweet, mild, wonderful person.

Now watch:

I’ve said many times to you folk, if you go you go on your own. Nobody kicks you out. You came in on your own; you leave on your own. Nobody’s going to ride herd on you.

If it’s not in here, who’s going to try to put it there? I can’t do it. Believe me, if I could, I’d go down and buy a million pounds of saccharine, or twenty pounds of saccharine… or whatever it is, Equal… you know, Aspartame… you name it, it doesn’t work. And we are fish-hooking. We have our edges, our sharpness.

Now, I’m bringing this out, not to fuss at anybody, because that’s not the point. I’m here to show you what John was really like, what Paul was really like. What these folk were really like. Yet, in the sight of God they were absolutely a hundred percent perfect, because the perfection was His!

As Brother Branham said in Matthew 5:48: “Be ye perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect” – he said, “God demanded it, therefore God must provide a way for it.”

And he said, “When the Blood of Jesus Christ scatters sin until there be no evidence, how can you make that man a sinner?”

And perfect means ‘a complete product’: “I will lose none!” Oh, there’s a perfect Bride, brother/sister, and we’re perfection through the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.

Now. So, therefore, the church has come full circle.

All right. As Brother Branham said so beautifully, “The original Catholic Church was a charismatic church.”

Positively was. Oh, yeah! Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes… the book of Romans tells you that in chapter 12, as it tells the first Corinthian church in their chapter 12.

And he says, in here,

It was a gifted church. It had tongues, it had interpretation, it had prophecy… it had it all. Then the Catholic church embraced idolatry. And they’re crying today because they embraced it.

And they say, “Oh, what a mistake we made when we went into South America. We allowed them to join their idolatries and their religion with ours.”

Sure, the poor suckers had to do it. They poured molten lead down their gullets and everything else. And what was that fellow, the chief in the Carib island, as they put him at the stake?

He said… I forget who it was, Pizarro or Pizza- something… I don’t know; it’s a Spanish guy, not Italian, anyway they were burning him at the stake, and he said to the man burning at the stake, he said, “Sir, do you mean to tell me that you are going to heaven and I am going to hell?”

He said, “That’s exactly right.”

And he said, “I’ll tell you what, sir. I would not go to heaven… I would sooner go to hell, because you people are too cruel to associate with anybody.”

That’s your own Catholic church. But at one time they were the virtuous church. They’ve come full circle. Where are the gifts today? In the Catholic church.

Neo- Pentecostals by the thousands and thousands. Pentecost is everywhere. People are speaking in tongues; they’re gifted.

And they cannot turn the truth down, because it is there. And the pope said, “Yes, this is the truth.” And the Mormon church said, “Yes, this is the truth.”

Now, the Baptists are going to try to deny it, but they ain’t nothin’ from nowhere. The mother harlot is ruling the roost. They’ve come full circle.

Now, I’m going to tell you something: Larry King… Larry King Live, two weeks ago in New York, I wish I could get the transcript… maybe I can, he was entertaining Malachi Martin.

The last two callers of which the first, I do not know who he was and where he was from, but he phoned in and said, “Sir, is it not true that a prophet in Ireland by the name of Malachi… I think they might even pronounce it Mal´-a-kee, I’m not sure… Mal-a´-kee – you know, Irish, but Malachi did he not prophesy there’d be a hundred and twelve popes?”

He said, “Yes sir, before the antichrist come.”

“Is it not true that this pope is number a hundred and ten?”

He said, “No sir, it’s not true. He’s a hundred and eleven.”

When he hung up, little Tony Templeton, David Templeton’s son, had called in just hoping he might be the one to get on.

And Larry King said, “We have a call from Hendersonville, North Carolina. Put him on.”

So Tony said this: he said, “Sir, is it possible that there will be a pope coming out of America?”

He said, “Yes sir, we’re grooming one now. It is Cardinal Wall of Boston.”

Malachi Martin is the shrewdest man in Catholic history and politics, and knows what’s going on as no other person knows what’s going on. Chapter 13 of Revelation… full circle… all the way through.

We’re not going any further. Well, I think I’ve covered this subject fairly well, as to what I had in mind.

How many minutes have you got left? Twenty… okay.

I’m going to read you something. I’ve always been disgusted with Canada. I’m a Canadian by birth, and you can have it. You can have it lock, stock, and barrel. And I’ll give you fifty cents to help you get across the line.

Let me tell you why: When I was sixteen years old, roughly… a little younger than that, the Presbyterian and the Methodist churches got together and became the United Church of Canada, which fostered the CCF which is the Christian Commonwealth Federation, which is Communist!

And the ministers, like Reverent Douglas, were the leaders. I have no truck ‘n trade with their garbage.

Brother Branham said, “No nation is as decadent as England.” Canada is made up of Canadians and French. That ought to answer your question about [inaudible].

All right. Toronto…

[Brother Vayle begins to read from an article: ]

“The Ontario government [that’s OHIP] must pay survivor pensions to partners of gay and lesbian civil servants under a leading edge human rights decision Tuesday that could trigger similar changes across Canada.”

It already has in Saskatchewan… the same thing, even worse.

“The order will also have far reaching effects on the private sector, because the words of ‘opposite sex’ when defining marital status have been removed from the Ontario Human Rights code.”

So, men can marry men. You ever talk about crap! I know no language despicable enough to comment on this filth. There is no one-letter word… two, three, four, five and six, or any right up to sixty-five letters in it.

“Rulings by the three-member board of inquiry on the application of Human Rights Code take effect immediately, and are legally binding. But they can be appealed through the courts.” [Because a little thing here and there might show up, to give them a little added this or that.]

“Protection under the Human Rights Code for gays and lesbians in Ontario extends to protect their relationship as well as individuals who are gay or lesbian [inaudible]. An exuberant and emotional Michael Leshner, forty-four, the crown lawyer who initiated the case in 1988, heralded the victory as recognition for homosexuals that is long overdue.”

Now, I ask you, who’s running the government? Oh, you say, “Brother Vayle, those people aren’t strong enough to vote in the government.”

They don’t have to be strong enough to vote them in! They just have a lobby. America itself has voted 1.78 billion dollars for AIDS, this year. Cancer, which has many more victims was not voted anywhere near that amount. Nothing else was.

And so they’re saying, “America, you take care of us while we do these filthy things, which come from filthy sex acts.” And they tell the kids, “Here’s condoms. Go ahead, enjoy yourself.”

I’m hard hearted! Don’t come near me, if you go out there and indulge yourself in pre-marital sex. You think you can get away with it… don’t talk to me! I fought my battles as a kid. I kept myself pure by the power of God.

Smarten up! You’re nothing special that you think you can get away with anything. Filth! They ran the government in the day of Lot. And the days of Lot are here.

Brother Branham just before he died, made the one comment: he said, “In one year homosexuality has risen thirty percent in the State of California.” What do you think it is now?

“Under the ruling, Leshner’s live-in partner for the past decade, Michael Stark, thirty-four, will be entitled to pension benefits. Leshner was also awarded $3,000 in general damages.”

You mean, he couldn’t sleep and didn’t enjoy it, or something? What happened? You talk about filth! Canada’s no different from the States. They’ve got the same filth here.

And who sat there like a great big blimp, the time that Donna Myer and these guys were on TV… I think I showed some of you the film. I don’t know. Somebody’s got it now; I don’t know who’s got it.

That Catholic priest, Boyd, down there… Father Boyd in Cincinnati, he wouldn’t open his mouth and say one thing. He sat there like a blimp. Why?

How come eight priests at one time in Boston found to be addicted with AIDS? How many in Dayton are around? I could name you one right now, but I would never do that. The Catholic church drove them to it! Those men had every right to marry.

The Bible predicted… the very Book they say they believe, and the very Book they claim they wrote, said, “Don’t you deny it.” Because man was made for woman, and woman was made for the man. Now, where has it gone to? Ho! God only knows.

“A spokesman for the Ontario chamber of commerce said it was too early to comment on how the private sector would respond to the ruling.”

It doesn’t matter what they say. Ever since Brandeis, that Jew, said, “It is not up to the Supreme Court to merely adjudicate, it is up to us to legislate”, it has always been the same story, and it’s the same in Canada. These men have no right to legislate, but they’re doing it.

You think you’ve got rights, let me tell you, you’ve got ‘right to die’, brother/sister, that’s all you’ve got now. Unless the rapture’s right around the corner and you’re truly born-again Bride.

And I’d hate maybe to be having the kind of death that’s going to be here… that’s going to go around here, because they say AIDS will not be ‘air-blown’. That’s a bunch of hogwash! Because, let a person with AIDS sneeze, that’s got TB, and you can get it.

Let him breathe in your face, you can get it. Accidently on you plate, you can get it. And don’t worry, it’s well related, AIDS, there’s something else that will show up with it.

Now they’re finding out they really believe that AIDS is nothing but a run-away from syphilis. And it’s well known that no doctor has ever had any power over any bacteria or any virus; they don’t know what to do with it.

And the HIV… now they find they can’t even find it – it’s there somewhere, don’t worry – but they’ve got all the symptoms.

My brother/sister, does it matter? If there’s food out here in front of you and you can’t see it, so you can’t get it, you’re dying of starvation.

In other words, I’m telling you, Hey! What evidence do you need? What do you need? If you’re dying, you’re dying. If you’ve got the symptoms, what’s the difference. That’s what they had to do with hypoglycemia.

They said, “Hey, look! If you’ve got the symptoms, then that’s enough. You’ve got what’s… you’ve got the hypoglycemia.” Doctors still don’t agree on the hypoglycemia tests. They’re still confused on… well, anyway, that’s another point. Let’s go on, here.

“Mark Arthur, the Commission Councilor who worked on the case, said, “It’s the first time relationships between gays and heterosexual couples have equal status and worth under the Code and Charter of Rights. This is really the first case that has gone forward to squarely confront that issue.” He said, “This is leading edge.”

“Oh, my, this is wonderful. Ho, this is wonderful! Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho… .” Eee-yuck! Ever seen some of these female athletes? Oh, God… these women with their hair all cropped off.

I saw one the other day, her hair was cropped like a man, and she had about three feet hanging down like these stupid boys with their goofy hair-cuts. If anybody here, you’ve got a kid with a goofy haircut, listen, for God’s sake, please don’t bring him in church when I’m here.

If Bob likes it, it’s okay, but please don’t insult me. If you can’t control him, you’re out of control.

You say, “Brother Vayle…”. Don’t Brother Vayle me! I’ve got a contract on this building. You can squirm and do all you want, and get fifteen hundred lawyers; ain’t going to do you one thing. This was built for the ministry that goes out of here.

I don’t want to hurt anybody’s feelings, but you’ve got to understand, ‘law is law and grace is grace’. I ain’t giving nobody any grace; I’ve got the law.

Oh yeah, you’ve got grace. All right… if I didn’t love you, you wouldn’t be here either. I’d be someplace else. Brother Branham said I could; I believe him.

He said, “Lee, you’re like me.” He said, “Any place is any place held for you.”

Well, I didn’t tell that, but I prefer the upper-crust. If the crust is on the earth, I don’t like that. I want be ‘upper’.

Okay.

“Beginning last year the Ontario government extended health and dental insurance coverage to the same sex partners’ employees. (Hey, you don’t even get that here, yet.) At the same time, it was said provisions of the federal income tax act prevented a similar extension of survivor benefits under the pension plan. (They’ll get it now.) But the Board of Inquiry found that the province had been laggard in pursuing the federal government to change the act.

At Port Stanton, Ontario, where he’s attending a cabinet retreat, Attorney General Howard Hampton… (“Oh, that’s a beautiful …Attorney General, Howard Hampton … doopty, doopty, doopty, doo”) …said he agreed with the Board of Inquiry decision. (I wonder if he’s heterosexual or bisexual… like Malcom Forbes? No wonder Liz is wondering about AIDS.) He also noted that…”.

I’m not being snide. That’s the truth. It’s in every paper. It’s not some sin that’s done in secret anymore. It’s done in the open. If it were something secret, I’d be forbidden by the Bible to talk about it.

When it’s open, it says, “Rebuke before all, that all may fear!” I know my Bible, don’t worry… at least in the right spots. Yeah, I’ve read it enough times.

“He noticed the Board gives the province three years to persuade the Federal Government to amend the Income Tax Act. Yet the Federal Government refuses to change the legislation. Ultimately Ontario will be required by this decision to put up a separate scheme.”

See? In other words, he tells the provinces, “Hey, look. If you want to just feel good about fighting us, or not fighting us, this or that… or we fight you, it’s all right. You’ll win anyway.” See, it’s a thing that’s already worked out.

“For, as he said, the ruling is important for Canada. We will be taking immediate steps to communicate the decision of our colleague human rights commission across the country. They’ve been waiting eagerly for some case law in this area.”

Oh, my! Isn’t that… “I just can’t wait”… The States says the same thing. “Hey! I’m… for the homos to get something.”

Read your Bibles, kid. Read your Bibles. Say, “I believe that’s God.” Just a minute… just a minute. What do you believe? What God are you talking about?

You say, “Oh, Brother Vayle, I really don’t know God anymore.” I don’t either, but I say, I’m just like Eleazer: “Oh God, I’m a master of Abraham.” I’m like Elijah: “Where’s the Lord God of Elijah?” I believe in the Lord God of William Branham! You believe anything you want.

And He’s the One that’s in this Bible here, and His Name is Jehovah. He’s Elohim! He’s the great Melchisedec. I’ve got no problem. These guys want to give me problems. They want to make me like them. Ho-ho, brother! Could you imagine?

“For as he also said, the provinces will have to examine the case closely as it relates to other legislation pertaining to the 1979 statute… the coalition for gay and lesbian rights in Ontario have been urging the government to change. (Oh yeah, they’re going to have their way.) The coalition want terms like family and spouse to be redefined in the law that regulates everything from adoption and custody of children to who qualifies to get into amusement parks on a family membership ticket.”

“This is my wife”… You know, this is exactly like the joke of the old farmer when he saw the Beatles, he said, “Oh my heavens! I’ve never seen such ugly women in my life.” It’s the same thing! The guy’s standing with his hair… and they’re lovers! Whoo, merciful …oh, brother/sister.

Got any time left? All gone, who knows?

Listen… oh, let me try to read you something here.

Here it says,

This is known as the filthy book of the Bible. This is pornography… according to the skuzz-balls that run the world. According to the filth out there. We’ve got to put up with it for a while. We’re getting out of here pretty soon.

She’s skiing and playing tennis… well, they ask for it. The guy that can do this up [inaudible], though, is Rush Limbaugh. I should send it to him.

[Brother Vayle continues reading the article:]

“Spokesman, Tom Warner, applauded the historic decision of the Leshner case. But he said the joy is tempered by the knowledge that Michael is not alone in being the victim of the homophilia. (Yeah, what do you call it… the homophobia,) that pervades federal and provincial lot (my heart cries for the poor man)”

Then they wonder why God vomits at the end-time. That’s the way it is, brother/sister. You can say what you want. That’s the way… already the die is cast. There’s nothing you can do about it.

You put anybody in that wants to change the law, they’ll not change it because the supreme courts have already said, “We are not going to adjudicate; we are going to legislate.”

That’s why no decision ever made by the Supreme Court will ever stand, because every case is tried as though it had not happened before. There is not precedent. There’s no nothing. There’s no God. There’s no prayer. There’s no this, there’s no that.

Wait till the fire falls, you’ll find out. Just wait till they realize that the Jews that they hate have got only the paper, but the Catholic church has got the gold. And pope the 112th is up there in Boston.

I’ve got one last thought: what is Boston known for? The Irish Catholic – the Kennedy’s, the Fitzgerald’s, the McCormick’s. And was William Branham from a Roman Catholic Irish family? Runs in parallel, doesn’t it? Saint of God… yup.

Like, St. Patrick wasn’t a Catholic; he was Protestant, protested the Catholic church. They got rid of the snakes. Now you’ve got this coming out of Boston.

Well, brother/sister, I would lament and feel very sorry, and pray this morning a very lamentable type of prayer, with crying and weeping before God… “Oh God, do something for us.” I can only rejoice; He’s already done everything for us.

Because as God Himself came down to His beleaguered son who had sinned in the Garden, to rescue him and his wife by the precious Blood, so that same One came down here to open the Seals, surrounded by those angels giving the message to the prophet, vindicated.

We are liberated. We don’t need a law of man. We obey those laws that are righteous and just that God put there. But the law, the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from all that stuff. And I have no truck ‘n trade with their sin.

As Martin Luther cried, and he was inspired, as no man I’ve ever heard was inspired, “Free at last! Free at last!” He took the cry of his people from the mountain top, and I say we have had our mountain top, that man knew nothing about, or anyone will know about, till they come under the voice of a vindicated Word.

There’s only one voice that I know, and that’s the Voice of God that came forth in a man, William Branham, vindicated a hundred percent. That’s the way I believe it. That’s the way I’m going to stand with it.

Let’s rise and be dismissed.

Gracious Heavenly Father, we thank You again, this morning, that You helped us, kept us this far by Your great mercy, Lord, and shown these great things of the Scripture that are for our benefit.

As Brother Branham said, “Scriptural food in due season” – the substance and nourishment that we have. As Moses said we have to have it to go into the promised land, where we see beyond that, then, a form of sanctification we know not of, for a thousand years.

And then going on to that great City where the Tree of Life is, with the leaves for the healing of the nations… a further wonderful process, Lord. I don’t understand it.

I’m not going to probe it, but I receive it with all of my heart, and thank You knowing that there is the depth of the wisdom and the love and the power of God manifested for us.

And, Lord, we thank You. You gave us a little taste in this very hour. And we appreciate it, Lord, that we’ve tasted the heavenly good, the gifts and the power of the world to come. Lord, we are a part of it by the grace of God. And we’ll not stand back, for ‘live-die, sink or swim’ this is all we claim.

And as old Spurgeon one time said so beautifully concerning prayer for the sick, he said, “It’s my job to believe God for the impossible, and leave the results up to Him.”

And we stand the same way, Lord, for that which healing only signifies, and makes a type of, which is the great anti-type the resurrection Lord.

We are resurrection as Brother Branham said, “We are easter because he said so.” And we take our full hope in this magnified marvelous Word of God, the former rain in the time of the latter rain, vindicated.

And unto the King eternal, all mighty God, be all power and honour and Glory, hopefully through these lives somehow in these vessels of clay.

In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ we pray.

I believe this morning there isn’t a soul here that couldn’t be healed… you that are sick this morning just believe with me at this time.

Heavenly Father we’re praying for sick, we’re not asking for people to come forward but I believe God that people are being healed at this very moment. Not that they hear my voice and I see it but Lord I believe within my heart there’s something moving within Lord.

Moving, moving because it was the prophet who kept on praying for the sick even though the Word was Vindicated. Out of the word comes healing oh God and we believe that healing is for the people.

We thank you Lord for it that measure now at this time that heals us on the lips and above it we had been trying this and that. As the prophet said when I go to a doctor, he can’t do it I go to the higher Authority.

This morning Lord some of us go to the higher Authority which You Yourself oh living God who said I am your Healer. Taking our healing Lord our soul our minds right into our body.

In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

‘Take the name of Jesus with you.’
