Spoken Word Is Original Seed; Book 1 #22

Shall we pray.

Heavenly Father, we acknowledge Your Presence and have been Lord, through the Word based upon the fact of manifestation of Your Presence which we realize is the same in the form of the Holy Spirit as it was when you were here in the form of flesh and abode in that temple, in order that there might be a complete redemption through blood for a Bride church and we thank You for that Lord.

We appreciate Your Presence today, knowing that the Pillar of Fire will lead us in to the Millennium, but also Lord, knowing that when You said in Your Scripture, “When He has come, He would teach You all things and lead you into all truth,” and we know Lord, though that was given for the day of Pentecost, yet it did not really begin to mature to the point of reality of truth until that same Pillar of Fire appeared to the apostle Paul, bringing him the revelation.

And now at the end time revealing that which was only spoken and given, but not truly given to the people, as a revelation so we count it Lord, that we are in this end period, and the Holy Spirit Himself is now teaching us all things very truly so.

And by the same token we have become one even as Your own Word has said in that day, we would be one with You even as You are one with the Father and we in each other.

So we thank You for that Lord, and accept it to the best of our ability at this point, trusting our faith will grow Lord, as the Word is revealed more and more to us and we have more and more of that life in us, apart from the life which is normal to people that supernatural life Lord, which is of You.

And may it be even more so this morning even than it was last Wednesday, and increasing as time goes on Lord, until the Resurrection and the immortal changes unto the very Rapture and the Wedding Supper of the Lamb, in Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

You may be seated.

Now we’re at number 22, in The Spoken Word is the Original Seed, and as we continue we must never forget that Brother Branham in this Message which is entitled, The Spoken Word of God and by God, is not only the Word of God but it is by God, is the conceptual root or the source of all that can or will come forth and finally endure in Its fulfillment and manifestation, because what comes forth is predestinated to be exactly that. Because the Word of God cannot return to Him void, or unfulfilled.

Now I hope you’re getting what I read, because these preambles are very necessary in my estimation to consolidating the truth that Brother Branham is giving us in as concise and deliberate a manner as possible.

We must not forget that Brother Branham in this Message which is entitled ‘The Spoken Word is the Original Seed’, you are talking about the Word, he is talking about the Word and we are listening to It, and he is saying that the Spoken Word of God and by God Himself, even as Paul said is a conceptual root.

In other words, is where it all starts, as a source and begins to come forth. And it is the only Word that is going to finally endure. Finally endure. See? To Its fulfillment which is Its manifestation, because what comes forth is predestinated to be exactly that.

What do you mean by exactly that? Exactly what God’s said, because it is the Word of God and cannot return unto Him void, It must be fulfilled. Now there’s something right there, that you have to understand. So we go further.

Thus it is the Word of God spoken which utterance came from His wisdom or foreknowledge that is elected amongst all other words. Now, it’s before all other words, as all preeminence just the same as God Himself. It has that preeminence.

And yet we know that after that Word came, other word sprung up. And the other words became a perversion of the truth. So now we’re looking at it again.

It is the Word of God spoken. In other words, it’s uttered. Which utterance? Spoken Word of God came from one place only, His wisdom, or foreknowledge. It had to be there before It was spoken, and It’s elected.

It’s the chosen amongst all other words, to come to a certain prescribed and unalterable destination, whereas all other words failed to endure, and either wither and die, or cast into the fire.

Now, if you caught the thought I was reading to you, you will notice, that all other words failed to endure. They cannot endure and the Word alone will come to Its certain prescribed and unalterable destination.

In other words, God’s Word will come to pass one hundred percent. It cannot be altered. It cannot be changed. There can be no deviation. There can be nothing added to It to make It better. There can be nothing taken away which would in any way harm It.

It is exactly as It is and nothing can be done about It, because God is behind His Word and He will see to It. And whatever that Word speaks, remember, there’s going to be a manifestation.

And as you think of this, remember, that the Bible is written concerning God and His family. Never mind the things around about you, they’re incidental although consequential to you, they’re simply incidental.

Now to see this plainly, let us go back to Genesis, where Brother Branham took us, but not to this particular Scripture as I’m looking at it.

Now, you notice in this particular concept here, man was made in the image. He’s supposed to come to a certain absolute destination which he must come to, and you realize that this is the spoken Word of God Himself, and at this particular time man is not involved. He’s not even here.

He’s merely starting on his journey from the foreknowledge or the omniscience, the thoughts of God. And God said, “This is what this man has to be.” So there’s no way that you can change this, because these are the spoken Words of God.

Thus there has to be a people predestinated to fulfill this. And of course, you know, you go to the Book of Isaiah, chapter 53, you’ll notice in there that it said,

You’re looking at that seed, spoken Word seed, coming into full manifestation and it can only come in through the Lord Jesus Christ.

Thus the spoken Word of Genesis 1:26, is literally manifested, or literally to be manifested as a people of this caliber. And the caliber, of course, is the image of God with complete dominion and you’re looking at then God and His family of sons which you might call demi-gods.

Because when He spoke this and then started them on the journey, the journey, absolutely has to come to the fulfillment of the reigning and ruling over the earth. And remember, God then blessed them.

In other words, the blessing of God is upon them in order that they reach this complete fulfillment of His spoken Word. And there may be an interruption, but there cannot be a deviation.

Now this is the thing that most people don’t want to receive. They don’t want to receive that this is, absolutely, the predestinating Word of Almighty God which every Word must be fulfilled, completely manifested.

Now, remember what I said awhile ago, there’s no Word like this. So we go to,

So here is a word that is not spoken by God. Now watch the Word spoken by God in contradistinction to the word not spoken by God. All right.

Let’s go to Revelation, because that’s where you’re going to see the Omega of the Alpha, and you go to Revelation, chapter 20, and you begin reading at verse 4.

Now, where does image, worship and beast worship start? It starts by listening to one Word off, where Satan begins to meddle with the Word. And just like God, he’s got to use people.

Now notice in there, these who did not have the Word of God perverted to them, because that’s what you’re looking at. For the witness of Jesus, the seed that should have come to Eve, but did not come through sin, the witness to Him, the resurrected Son of Almighty God, and the Word. And you notice they are reigning and ruling.

Now let’s read on.

Now you notice, there’s another death thrown in here. They go through the first death which is a mortal dying, because you expire here, but you go on, to a form of a spirit form. Then you come back in the Resurrection and you have two kinds of bodies. There could be three kinds, I’m not positive.

Because we know the Bride has a body exactly like His, wise virgin. Whether the foolish virgin get a body exactly like that, as they’re given life; I cannot say, I doubt it very, very, much but they will be given a commensurate to their glory, and remember, the stars, the sun and moon speak of a glory.

So you’d have number one, the great glory of Almighty God, and the Pillar of Fire. You have the Lamb upon the Throne which is the glory manifesting now in a human body.

And you have the Bride there, and the 144,000. There again the 144,000 are not true, they are virgins, but they are not wise virgins as far as we know, and yet they could be a hundred percent within there.

I don’ t know all the ramifications, but I do know according to Paul, 15th chapter of 1 Corinthians, he uses the stars, and he uses the moon, and the sun, and he says, “So also, is the Resurrection.” So, okay. You’ve got a gradation.

Now the Bride has bodies glorious like unto Him, but remember, they will not be comparable in the sense of the ultimate. That is not possible. So… you looking at this, you’re looking at what we’re seeing here now at the end time.

Now, we’re talking about that second death. And that is where the people have bodies commensurate to the Lake of Fire, where they could be for thousands of years, or millions of years, or they could be annihilated instantly; I don’t know.

Brother Branham has not just suggested, not just intimated but as far as I know, made an exact statement concerning there would be a time that they would be there.

You link that to the Bible, that would then be according to what they have done which is despot to the spirit of grace what they have done turning the Word of God aside, what they have done like Pharaoh, and Stalin and Hitler and all of these guys, the Genghis Khan’s, and they’re just a few of them, they’re just the ones in history that look big.

If you really want to get to the sleaze balls, you get the guys like Bertrand Russell, the great British philosopher, liar, sleazeball, sleazebag, whose the guy that initiated, companionate marriage which is now called ‘shacking up’. Do you know it came from Bertrand Russell? Oh, you’re learning if you didn’t know it before.

And what about the great Mr. Clinton? What about Canada? How many years was the great Mackenzie King, the Prime Minister, utterly controlled by spiritism? If you thought Ronald Reagan was being controlled by his wife, was controlled by a spirit, what are you going to do about Canada now?

How many years was Mackenzie King, the Prime Minister, controlled by spirits? And during that Liberal time, who was the big shot in Immigration? A Roman Catholic priest, bringing in all the Catholics.

Now, my question is; who’s going to get more time in the Lake of Fire? Hitler or one of those boys? Well, I’m just bringing the question up. But I want you to look at it, see what we’re looking at here; they’re going to be annihilated.

Now watch what it says here,

Now that’s what I’m looking at. The Word of the Lord only endures. Now this is the reason why Brother Branham is bringing this message of Spoken Word is Original Seed, because only those who are in the original are going to be the fulfillment of this Word.

Because this Word is not only spoken about but speaks into existence those people he’s talking about, when He said, “Be fruitful and multiply, and subject the earth unto you and rule and reign over it.”

Now, let’s go to the 11th verse of the same chapter,

Annihilation. So, we’re looking at this Word in the light of Its reality and not in the light of a denominational dogma and what anybody thinks.

Like Brother Branham said in the light of his revelation which was vindicated, “You ain’t got a think coming.” Now it’s not only bad English, but it really sounds horrible to those who’d like to think that they can think and they can barter with God. Can’t do it.

Let’s look at 21,

They’re afraid to come to the Word, they don’t believe It when they do come near It, and they’re abominated.

False religion typified by women wearing men’s clothes.

“Did you know a woman wearing men’s clothes, that’s as bad as murder? It’s worse.” “Why I can’t believe that.

Hey, you don’t have to believe anything. I’m not here to persuade anybody. I’m talking to those that do believe. Won’t offend anybody, but I believe in a vindicated prophet and he said it. As far as I’m concerned everything else is just guess work. This is not guess work any longer.

You see, in contradistinction the Word of God alone is inviolable, unalterable, must become in a reality of manifestation according to the reality that is in It which is God. It can’t fail.

There will be a people. And there will be another people. There will be those that will be annihilated, and those that will go on and on and on in the eternity of God.

Now notice carefully that all words, all words are judged by the Word, the Sword.

We go to,

Now I would hate to wait until the White Throne to have that proven to me. I would sooner believe it now and be a part of that which is elect, but let me tell you this, if I have not been born to it, I will never get there.

In order to further see the point of predestination which the prophet emphasized and most people reject, let us just quickly go back to Ephesians, the 1st chapter, 3 to 6. And it said,

You know what that placing of children really means? The stacking of cordwood? Just like you stack cordwood: in plain English, your will is not involved, it is the will of God that is everything and you couldn’t escape if you tried.

Because you wouldn’t want to escape, therefore, you wouldn’t try anyway, because there’s a deep calling to a deep. But just like cordwood. See, the placing of sons is not that you come up to God and say, “Here I am, Lord, take me.”

“Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee…” So he’s telling you here, it’s all a matter of grace and as Brother Branham said, “You don’t have a think coming.”

But isn’t it pitiful, so many people want… they think they have a think coming and they don’t have it coming. It is a matter of grace.

So, he says here, having…

Now you notice in this here, that you are not taking aside the fact that Adam and Eve were the progenitors of the human race which was God’s own race. But notice it has to come by Him.

Now let’s go right back to Genesis. In the wisdom of Almighty God…

Turns right around and says, “Now, look here, you’re going to reign and rule in the earth, but here’s the point, this is how it is done.” And the Alpha includes this statement that God made way back there. All right.

We were looking at Ephesians, the 1st chapter, 3 to 6 which is the fulfillment of Genesis 1:26, so therefore, we see that when God said, “Let them have dominion…” this allowance on the part of God, absolutely, was predicated or foreknown, predestinated, upon the seed which is Christ, as I just mentioned here.

Thus we see that the predestination of man to reigning over the earth was the predestination of Jesus. And here is the mystery as to why Brother Branham kept saying, “The seed which Eve should have borne was Christ.”

And it is true, because that is the only way the Bride will ever reign and rule. And remember, this is not a substitute, this is not an overhaul of the Word of God.

This is not those Trinitarians saying, “God, oh God great, and God powerful. He made man. And oh, the devil came in there, and he upset God’s plan and so the three gods got together and the Father God said, ‘Oh, who will go and take care of this terrible mess?’ And number two god which is the Son said, ‘Oh, I will go down and do it’.” That’s an overhaul job. Huh?

Can’t you see the fallacy of anything outside of predestination? Can’t you see a God doing flip flops? Can’t you see a God like Bill Clinton making a lot of promises and then as soon as the gay group comes up, or another group, he backs off, he runs around, he jumps?

Oh, come on. I couldn’t believe that if you paid me a million dollars.

Had Eve obeyed the Word, then had Christ come forth, all the rest would have come full, fully like him, and the ruling would have been fulfilled.

But with interrupting the plan of God, we have to wait for the fulfillment of both halves of the out Resurrection for all the foreknown and elect to reach or attain to their predestination of ruling and reigning. Now you see that’s a mystery that Paul took right back to Genesis, and Brother Branham explained it.

Now going back to the beginning before Eve got off the Word and consequently Adam joined her, we find both Adam and Eve at their entering into and inhabiting Eden, now watch this carefully, I want to go back over it.

Now going back to the beginning where Eve got off the Word. Now she’s here with Adam, they’re not off the Word. So there’s this space in here, now they get off the Word. Now you listen to me carefully, because this means an awful lot.

Going back to the beginning before Eve got off the Word and consequently Adam joined her, we find both Adam and Eve at that interim period, where they were at that particular time, See? between life and death.

They were believers of the Word and Spirit. Now that’s what they were. They were believers of the Word and the Spirit. And it must be so at the end because Alpha is Omega.

Now just a minute, we’re looking at the entire complex of sin now, so there’s got to come a time, an interim before you go into this righteousness. Understand what I’m saying? All right, let’s go to Revelation, the 22nd chapter and see it. There’s an interim. And you’ll notice in verse 10.

What time is at hand? That book opened, because it said, “Seal it not.” It’s opened… Revelation 10:4 says, “Seal it.” Revelation 22:10 says, “Don’t seal it.” So it’s opened. There’s an interim time. Now watch!

So something has happened. There’s a period in there. Now that period I spoke of is when Adam and Eve and the Word and the Spirit were one. Huh? Christ, the Bride, one Spirit, one Word. They’re standing there. Now, they’re in the balance.

Do we go on and bear the seed and fulfill this or do we flop to the side of unrighteousness and go through this? Now in spite of an interruption, the Word must be fulfilled, because It’s predestinated and that predestination is according to the seed of God that It’s predestinated.

They are Word seeds. They got to come forth reigning and ruling. So there is a period there.

Now, it was this particular interim that was the door between the Tree of Life and the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil, or of life and death where they were one with the Spirit and Word. So it must be today. Right? You’ve got to come back to where there is a neutral area.

Now Brother Branham said in 1956, “America missed its chance. I will no longer pray for her. She is condemned.” Now there had to be a neutral spot in there. “Choose you this day whom you will serve. Who is on the Lord’s side?” Are you choosing life or death?

That’s when the Word came forth concerning the entering into the Millennium. Make your choice now. Right there. Pillar of Fire manifested. They blew it. So it must be today. And this elect lady Eve is now the New Jerusalem in her final stages going into the Millennium.

Brother Branham brings this out on page 42. We’ll look at it subsequently. So as we go on we shall very shortly see how Genesis 3:17-19.

Now let’s go in there. We are talking about Word. We are talking about seed. We are talking about a planting. We are talking about a maturing, a harvest, a ripening.

Now, let’s go to,

A wrong voice: a voice contrary to God’s voice. That’s why Brother Branham said when John was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day, he heard a voice behind him, and the Bible said he looked around to see the voice. You can’t see a voice. You hear a voice.

So Brother Branham told us what it was. John turned to see if it was a scriptural voice. And if it wasn’t scriptural, forget it. I’m not interested. He listened to the voice of his wife and ate of the tree.

Now especially it says, “Thorns also and thistles, it shall bring forth to thee.” Now just a minute, they weren’t there previously. As Brother Branham said, “How they got there we might not know but they were there.”

And remember, they could not come forth until a certain time, relative to the rejection of the Word. Huh? Now they were other seeds. You saw the Garden of Eden bearing the herbs, the vegetables, the fruits.

You saw everything propitious, they didn’t even need clothes, because there was nothing to harm them, and nothing could. There’s nothing there to harm, that couldn’t harm them. Now, it says right here, the earth is going to bring it forth. All right.

Let’s go to the Book of Hebrews again, the 6th chapter, which is the end time. “Let’s go on to perfection,” they couldn’t do it, because it wasn’t time. Now what at the time of perfection, conclusion, finishing, polishing off, all over, can’t add a Word, can’t take a Word.

No, it tells you right there at the end time this is going to happen. They are literally going to crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh and according to the Book of Romans, I think it’s the 1st chapter, maybe the 4th verse; He’s the Son of God according to the power of the Resurrection.

So you see right here, they’re going to see the Son of God revealed in the power of the Resurrection, and they’re going to say, “We don’t want Him. We’re not interested.” That’s the 12th chapter of the Book of Matthew.

Now,

All right. Let’s go to the Book, now, of Matthew. Now we’re not playing with Scripture, we’re taking it Scripture by Scripture as I see this coming out. In the Book of Matthew, chapter 3, John said,

Now think not to say. What is repentance? A change of mind where your thinking is. John is trying to get them to repent.

Now he said, “Don’t think to say within yourselves, when the manifestation of God comes to you, don’t have any thoughts on the subject concerning what you are brought up in.”

Put them all to one side like Paul said, “I count them but dung, or manure,” and look at what is there now. Now you can’t get the church to do this. I couldn’t get some people sitting here some time ago to do this. I don’t have any hope of converting the world.

I just hope to God I got enough in my heart and enough of God that I’m getting it myself. I’m scrambling for manna. I never found where I’m supposed to pick manna for you and you pick manna for me. We better pick it for ourselves and make sure we’re loaded up for this day.

All right, now listen to me.

Now you can see what you’re looking at right here is the fact that if it is not a predestinated Word of God, and a predestinated seed, it’s going to bring forth that which is contrary to the Word of God, it’s going to bring forth that which it said. It will bear its own fruit and it is going to be destroyed.

Now, I want you to just think of something here. And that is, because of that fall, in Genesis 3 we read in the verse 18 there,

And connecting that to Hebrews 6, you find here that the people are spoken of as God’s husbandry, as a field.

Now the point is this; what has been planted in your earth because you’re part of the earth. What is planted in here? Remember, your body can be a temple of the Holy Ghost and house the Word, making you and that Word one, absolutely.

Like Brother Branham said, three times the Word of God’s fulfilled, in that you’ll know, I’m in the Father and you in Me, and I in you. Happened at Pentecost, happens today, happens at the White Throne. The interim period right there is the same thing you’re looking at.

Now, the thing is, what is in you of the Word of God and if it’s the truly revealed Word of God you are going to bring forth as it says in Hebrews here, the 6th chapter, that manifestation that the Word should bring forth in the individual which is number one: a hundred percent standing with the Word.

Then that Word will come forth and bear you to your destination as you bore that Word. Now, I want you to just hold this in mind, we’re going to go back to Romans, the 1st chapter, we’ve read this many, many times. We’re going to read it again. All this goes together, so just hang in here with me. All right.

What about today? Atheism? Your kids can’t learn about God in school. They can’t pray. They can’t do anything. The only science classes, and so-called, are what the government wants, what the teachers want.

They don’t care two bits about what the parents want, or any kind of a believer wants, they’ve got to learn about evolution, oh, that is correct. You can’t. That’s it. Now watch!

I want to ask you a question. What did this? You say, “Sex.” No, you’re wrong. Going off the Word did it. And it involves sex.

Now I want to ask you a question. How do you get cancer? Well, everybody has got a cancer cell in them. When the right door is open, you got cancer.

How do you get TB? Everybody has got a TB cell. Right. So the right door is open, the crisscrosses cannot come, open the door, get TB. Right? You got to be living a certain way.

I ask you a question. Where does AIDS come from? It’s already in you. Where does syphilis come from? It’s already there to mutate. It’s all there. You open the door. That’s why as I said awhile ago, they can’t find where syphilis came from.

Oh, they said, “Like Columbus and people brought it from America, and took it to Europe.” That’s a lie. They finally found out, nobody knows where it come from. I’m telling you where it come from.

The seed is in the soil, like the briars and the tares; to tear you down, and every evil thing in this world is already in people ready to come forth and that’s why they can’t find where syphilis came from.

Because the law of God says, “You start doing this, and you watch what happens in your bodies. You will have this thing.” Now it’s mutated to the point.

And I got the little thing at my home I’m going to run it through to see if it’s… my friend said it was. If it is I’ll bring it to you and play it for you. Where they found seventy children right now in America, and the interview was in Chicago.

They cannot find how this boy has AIDS because his parents are clean. He is clean. There’s nobody around him that is not clean. He never had needles, never had drugs, never had a transfusion. Seventy right now, they got AIDS. Where did they get it? Right here, but I’m telling you.

Listen, brother/sister, there’s no big mystery if you just believe the Word of Almighty God.

Now all of these are going to burn. Every briar, every thistle, and that’s what Brother Branham said, “There’ll be flames leave this earth, jumping a thousand miles high to cleanse every germ off of it.”

You say, “Brother Branham made it up.” He spoke under the anointing of the Holy Ghost. Not just because Lee Vayle says so, because he’s backed by Almighty God.

Now, we have looked at predestination. And in predestination we looked at the Word of God in its complete fulfillment, because God is behind it. But every plant that God has not planted shall be rooted up.

We saw the end of that which was not the Word of God or the Word of God perverted, which no longer is the Word of God. It becomes creeds and dogmas of man. Now we’re at the end time and harvest. This all must be manifested.

So Brother Branham is going to tell us about and reveal the teaching ministry and tell us how two more seeds are in the earth bearing bumper crops.

So we’re going to start back now reading to you on page 42, all right paragraph 3.

[42-3]  …So believers of the Word and Spirit must be One. You get it? …Believers, and the Lord, and the Spirit are absolutely One. You don’t do your own thinking; you don’t use your own mind. Isn’t that wonderful?

Now right there, he said, “Isn’t that great.” Now they say, “You mean I ain’t got a think coming?” You know people that talk that way are like the car that Henry Ford made.

And the Model T said, “Henry, ain’t you glad I’m here, because actually I produced myself. Well, without my contribution Henry, you’d be nothing.” I just don’t understand people. I’m telling you honestly.

Now Brother Branham is right. “Isn’t that wonderful?” You can cease from your own thinking. Your questions, your fears, your doubts, your problems, you can have rest.

[42-3]  The mind that’s in Christ is in you, see? The mind’s in Christ… and you will take the Word just like He did, because He was the Word.

Now He’s the only begotten, the great Word; we are little chips of stone. Like He said to Peter, “You’ve got the revelation which is the big rock, and you’re a little pebble, a little chunk of it.” All right.

[42-3]  And if the mind of Christ is in you, you are the Word. You are God’s living Word, representatives of Him here on earth–That’s right– continuing the work. The church should be that way.

Right away the Pentecostal mind instantly goes to works. And they think of gifts and things that they can produce, as though that is it. That is not it.

I would sooner take the Baptist who goes to the Word a whole lot quicker than the Pentecostals go to the Word, and I would like to be like the Catholic, at least he claims he does, to believe the pope, and he calls himself the representative of Christ which he certainly is not.

But there is such a thing as God sending prophets who do represent Him and I would sooner go that way than anything in all the world; that my thinking might be like His.

You are the living Word of God representatives here. Now watch!

[42-4]  And when so, the Bible is manifested again like in the early days of the disciples, just like the disciples. The Bible is living again in you.

Now watch right there. He said at the time you see the Bible carried back to the beginning and remember you don’t dare just go back to Pentecost and think you can sit there.

You got to go to Paul because he was the vindicated prophet and apostle to the Gentiles. And it was confirmed by God that he was. Now you go back there and Brother Branham says,

[42-4]  And when so, the Bible is manifested again like in the early days of the disciples, just like the disciples. The Bible is living in you [again].

Now we are come to the interim period where Adam and Eve are sitting fresh in this Garden. And the decision is made. Which way will you go? Will you go with the seed and follow the Word? Or will you go off the Word and go here into error?

And consequently, into degradation and complete destruction, because the earth is going to burn and everybody and everything on it. Now Brother Branham sets that period, and that period is the interim period. Now what is the interim period?

The Bible manifested again like in the early days of the disciples and remember, men like Lindsey, Gordon Lindsey, and those other men in the Pentecostal era back in 1900, particularly in ‘46, but even previous, they’re the ones who said, “Bible days are here again,” based on Brother Branham’s ministry, and wrote a book, A Man Sent from God.

But they repudiated that the minute that Brother Branham came with the Word which the Word alone is what counts and especially the true revelation.

And so Brother Branham says, “So today you are looking at me and my ministry.” The same man that said when they asked him, “What did Jesus mean when He said, ‘He that has seen Me has seen the Father’.”

He said, “You’re looking at me, aren’t you? Same thing.” What, you believe that Brother Branham said he was Jesus Christ? Don’t be ridiculous. He was just quoting from Hebrews, God in the prophets.

God in Moses, God in the apostle Paul. God to the people on the grounds that what God indicated, and God designated, and God performed, but do you think you get people to believe it? Not at all.

[42-6]  All right. And when so, the Bible is manifested again like in the early days of Christ.

Now watch where he’s putting it now; the appearing of the Son of man or the appearing of Christ, the Son of man ministry, according to the 12th chapter of the Book of Matthew.

[42-6]  See? Because you are a predestinated seed just like Christ was; and when the rain falls on the seed, the life produces itself.

Same prophet said, “All you need is a properly germitized seed, in the properly fertilized ground, let the sun and the rain come you will have that product.”

[42-6]  …you are a predestinated seed just like Christ was;…

And remember, he said, “The only difference between your coming and His was, you by-passed the form, the theophonic form,” as he called it, “which is a spirit-body or a Word-body which was produced actually by the spirit of Almighty God…

…the life itself there, and where Jesus said, ‘Restore me the glory I had in the beginning with You,’ positively said, ‘There’s no difference except you by-passed that, that’s why you can’t remember these things’.”

[42-6]  …and when the rain falls on the seed, the life produces itself. When the Holy Spirit falls… When It fell on those seeds that Jesus said that He chose them when? Before the foundation of the world. Then they were predestinated seed. [That’s absolutely true.]

Then here they haul themselves up in the upper room, these seeds, the Word, and the Word was laying on there [or in them you see,] without Life in it. [Already to take shape, but couldn’t until the water hit it.]

All of a sudden there came a sound from heaven as the water began to gush down. And it actually filled all the house… they were sitting. And the seeds begin to grow. …and they began to manifest themselves, the Word of God being manifested.

Now, in the light of the fact that they knew that Bible days had returned, and they knew that Brother Branham had a ministry that was vindicated as nobody else had.

This brought about as Brother Branham called the revival from the Presence of God, which was a tremendous healing revival, of which, he said, “There cannot be a genuine healing revival unless there’s a brand new message, because God does not vindicate the same tired old message.” Can’t do it. Can’t do it.

All right.

Now we’re getting into the place… how many minutes we got? Twenty-five. We’ll just read here a bit and quit.

Now this great ministry that Brother Branham had begin to sweep the world, and brought forth many, many people of which there were two kinds.

Those that believed in the power of God from on high which were Pentecostals and those that they could get induced to believe as they did in the other denominations, and then you get the kind like Billy Graham, they’re strictly denominational and they just talk word, word, word as though they have it all.

And there’s no proof they got It right, anymore than the Pentecostals say they got it right, because they got a few gifts of the Spirit.

Now Brother Branham talks about this and he says,

[43-1]  All right. Why then has the great revival fires let up? [L-e-t. Why have they diminished?]

[Why aren’t we having what we used to have?] “In spite of the fact,” he says, “I’m telling you about the original seed, getting back to original Word, and I’m vindicated here to prove through Almighty God that this is the truth, being a prophet.” All right.

[43-2]  …Now, I… have got to call names. I won’t do it after this, unless God tells me to. But I’ve got to call names. I’ve got to say things that I don’t want to say, but in order to make this clear…

You see now where we’re getting to, the reason I’ve done what I have done. I believe this is the Word. And I believe that Christ has a church, and the church is the field… [the husbandry, the field.] [We’ll get to that after awhile.] …and you’ve got to get the Word in the field before the Spirit can ever do anything.

Now that’s what he’s telling you right there. Hey look, you’ve got to get this seed right. This Word right, or it isn’t going to come forth according to what God said. But as soon as you get it right, no problem.

[43-3]  Why then have the revival fires let up? You don’t hear any… much more about Billy Graham, the great evangelists. Oral Roberts is not burning the country up like he used to. My meetings are not even heard of. There’s just three. [But he just mentions two. So he’s the third one.] What’s the matter?

Now, we’re going to get some real deep teaching. I’m going to have to just use it now, and if this tape should fall into the hands of Billy Graham, Oral Roberts, I want you to know, my brethren, I’m not disregarding you; I’m taking myself, if you notice, in there as your fellow brother in the Gospel.

And I think after this you’ll have a better understanding, brethren, of why I have done what I’ve done. And I hope that I find grace in the sight of God and before you, in being honest and truthful and tell you the reasons why.

[43-4]  Billy Graham… The world was burning here not long ago with Billy Graham. You seldom hear of it now. He’s still going, but what’s the matter? Oral Roberts, was …just burning the earth up: dying down.

Tommy Osborn, all… godly men. What’s happened? Believing that God called me for a ministry, what’s happened to mine? Now, here’s going to answer some questions. What happened?

Now remember, in 1962, he said, “My ministry is to declare that He is here.”

[43-5]  You say, “Brother Branham, yours is deadest of all of them.” …that’s true. That is right. Billy Graham’s more heard of than I am, and Billy’s more heard of than Oral. Oral’s more heard of in one day than I am in six months. Tommy Osborn, Tommy Hicks, all godly men, they’re more heard of than I am.

So as far as that turns, mine’s farther away than all of them. What happened? “Brother Branham, you saying that–that you… telling us that you actually believe the Word and everything, well what’s happened to you then? What’s taken place?” That’s what we want to know.

[44-1]  All right, put it down in your minds now. Pull down the umbrella, shake the rain off, open up your heart just a minute, and listen. Remember the Bible… in Genesis the first chapter we read to base our thoughts for the day, is every seed after its kind.

It will have to bring forth after its kind. That’s right. Every seed will have to bring forth. And remember, the earth is full of seeds and the rain makes it bring forth after its kind.

And it doesn’t matter if it’s a weed seed, a briar or anything else, or a turnip. Now you’re talking about people. What’s sown in you? What has been sown in you? What do you have in you to receive what is sown today by preaching? Now that’s the secret.

Now that’s what Jesus said. He said, “You don’t believe my Word, because there’s no place in you for My Word.

Now listen! There’s only one tiny place, either for the Word or against the Word. Can’t sit on the fence. I know a lot of folk have tried it; you can’t get away with it around here. It won’t work.

[44-2]  I believe it is near the harvest time. And he preached a whole sermon on that. Flashing Red Lights. Don’t you believe it? You all agree with that. We are near the harvest time. Now, the seeds have been planted. That’s what’s the matter with us.

The seeds have been planted. Oh, God, I wish you could see what passed before me then. [See, this is a man with visions.] The seeds have been planted. Remember, there is a planting time; then there has to be a harvest time. They know they said so.

[44-3]  All right. Now, there have been three different kinds of seeds planted: A denominational: Billy Graham; he was the head planter. Oral Roberts for the [Pentecostals…] The Pentecostal seed’s have been planted. (I’m talking about organization now.) …then the Word’s been planted.

[That’s the third one. Who did it come from? Brother Branham.] Now, you’ll have to understand, folks. I… am not saying this any more unless God tells me. I want you to get this good and clear. Three seeds… [t-h-r-e-e seeds have] been planted. That’s the reason the planting is just about over (See?), all over.

Seeds must be planted before the rain falls (Is that right?) or otherwise the Spirit. [In otherwise before the Spirit comes now, to bring it to a harvest. See?] Now, you’re going to disagree there, but hold on just a minute.

Seeds must be planted and then the rain falls to [tape faded out] Is that right? …Is there anybody in here that understands Hebrew, knows Hebrew words? All right, you look it up if you want to.

[45-1]  Now, we’re hearing so much, and so many organizations and everything else talking about we’re in the latter rain. Nonsense. No such a thing.

Now remember, he also made a statement, “The latter rain started back in 1906,” designating the Pentecostal movement.

Where we going to see here, a difference again in designation of terms wherein there can be a compound meaning and we’ll have to swing over to this with our definitive thinking as never before, concerning the latter rain.

All right. There’s a latter rain. Because remember you’re supposed to receive the former rain at the time of the latter rain, and that’s the time that the reaper catches up with the sower.

See, the harvester catches up with the one that is sowing. A quick short work and it’s all over. That’s where you get Hebrews 6: that sudden tremendous move of God, the rain that falleth oft from heaven. That Word of God that is there, that God Himself waters and brings forth. Okay.

We’re hearing about the latter rain.

[45-1]  Nonsense. No such a thing. [Now…] Something’s happening. I can… see it just passing before me. It’s done caught the Spirit. See? Amen. I know this is Truth; it’s THUS SAITH THE LORD. A vision, see, just moving and coming… Can’t hardly get—it down here.

Every time I look; I see it just moving up in front of me and breaking off, and move this way, and that way. I’ve been trying to watch some fellows down there. [Why? To get his mind off the vision. Trying to get concentrating.] Look away somewhere else…

[45-2]  All right, let’s go back and try it again… [All right.]

[45-3]  I believe that it is near the harvest time. The seeds have been planted. Denominational seeds of the churches such as the Evangelicals, like Baptist, and Presbyterian, and Lutherans.

And the Pentecostal seeds have been planted into the Pentecostal organization, by great men like Oral Roberts, Tommy Hicks, Tommy Osborn, great men of God. See? And I believe that the Word of God has been planted unadulterated away from any of these organizations. That’s what’s the matter.

In other words, the great manifestations are all over because those manifestations were to attract the people to what Word they had.

And Brother Branham attracted the true seed believers; Graham attracted the denominational and Roberts and those men attracted the Pentecostals. And remember, there’s one on the Word and two off the Word.

[45-4]  Now, The seed plant must have water before it can grow. It must have water to fall before the seed that’s been planted can grow.

[45-5]  Now, “Well,” you say, “Brother Branham, there’s been… our…” Now, I know, that’s right. Catching your thought right now (You see?); you couldn’t hide [if you tried.] All right, so be careful what you’re thinking.

[45-6]  Now, the seed must be planted, then it must have water in order to grow. Now, you say, “Well, Brother Branham (I’m going to express your thoughts on there.), we’ve had the water.” So be it.

That’s correct. You have had the water. Did you ever plant cabbage, or anything, or seeds, or something like that, like usually… they haven’t any water and you just pour a little water on it. 

In other words, he’s telling you right here; you can make a lot of things work. And you can make it look mighty good, and you can say, “I got the real thing.” But it isn’t.

See, people can operate gifts and a lot of things, and operate big meetings on psychology, and pulling on heart strings and everything else but it doesn’t mean they got it. They’re just pouring water on the cabbage. Man’s doing it.

In other words, he’s telling you there’s something real. Number one: the Word. Number two: the Holy Spirit. And there’s going to be a people, a believer that’s Word and Spirit believer. You’ve got to get back to it. Now the Bible evidence proves that Brother Branham had the proper seed.

[45-7]  All right, now wait, but what did we have in that planting time? -the former rain. “Oh,” you say, “Brother Branham, nonsense.” …just wait a minute. You take the word “former” in Joel 2 and look at it and see… the Hebrew word… If you want to write it down, it’s m-o-u-r-e-h, moureh, and get the Hebrew word and interpret and see what “moureh” means: “teaching.”

The teaching rain has gone forth. The denominational rain has gone forth. “A million more in forty four,” Baptists, So-and-so, So-and-so, members in the church. Oral Roberts, and those brothers with the Pentecostal move [and he calls the economic, which they are, the money, the golden calf] —or the great Pentecostal move, and moved up into the millions.

[Now what’s he talking about? Millions of people or dollars? I’m not sure. It could be both. Because you remember, they got the golden calf scheme.] See? That’s right. And the Seed has gone forth, the Word, for the minority– the group.

So you got Word and you got mutilated Word, creeds and dogmas.

[46-1]  Now, watch. …remember the word “moureh,” means “teaching, the former rain.” It says “the moureh rain, the teaching rain,” teaching rain went forth.

[46-2]  Billy Graham has struck the world. The Pentecostals struck the world, and the Word has struck the world. Now, what’s the matter now? She’s now waiting for the latter rain. That’s when she produces her fruit. Oh, I hope you get it.

In other words, “there’s just one thing people are waiting for,” as Brother Branham said, “is the dynamics to fall on the mechanics.” And if you don’t have the right mechanics, you’re going to blow up. You’ll die here on earth.

Now see, that’s what people are waiting for. And this is where they don’t understand Brother Branham’s message and my teaching his message because they won’t listen to him; they don’t listen to me. I’m not telling anybody should listen; that’s their business.

[46-2]  She’s now waiting for the latter rain. Then when she produces her fruit… Oh, I hope you get it.

[46-3]  Then the kind of seed you have planted in your field will be the kind of crop you will reap. If the denominations wants more members, that’s what they’re going to get. That’s what they have gotten. The Pentecostals want more Pentecostals; that’s what they’re going to get. …right.

But the Word’s going to produce sons and daughters of God. That’s coming too. Watch, look at that great latter rain supposed to be done, how they would run over the walls, and leap over, and how they’d be an army coming. [Now he said that’s the Bride in Joel.] Just wait a minute. The kind of crop you’ll get is the kind of seed you put in your field.

[46-4]All right. The two denominational kinds… You understand? The two denominational kinds will unite together to go to Sodom. But the Word will stay with the elected, the Royal Seed. Jesus said, “As it was in the days of Sodom, so… it be in the days of the coming of the Son of man.”

Two angels went down, two anointed ministers, went down to Sodom to try to bring out a man that was backslidden (had a little speck of God about him), and his wife, his bride you know what happened to her; she was disgraced. And look at his daughters… look at what it hatched [incest, you see] hatched out after they got out. …there’s always a “hair in the biscuit.”

You know that’s right. Excuse that expression, but you know, a gaggy thing, [it wants to make you gag on it, you know.] It always was; so we know now. Now, you can’t deny God’s Word. But here was One that stayed with Abraham that gave a sign. [That gave a sign.] Is that right?

This is as far as we’re going to go, but I hope you begin to see some things now in predestination. Everything is going to come to whatever Word is there. And where’s the one Word going to go? Right to New Jerusalem. Where’s the rest going to go? To the lake of fire.

Well, first of all, it will go to the White Throne, to see if it will go to the lake of fire, whether it’s allowed in, because you’re going to have foolish virgin’s there. So, all right. That’s what you’re looking at here.

We’ll go into this Wednesday night. This is getting good reading, because I can take you right back to Ephesians, chapter 1, and there you will see the utter wisdom of God and the revealed Word brings you right to the Resurrection. What’s doing it? The Spirit of God.

And what is here now? The same One that came here to bring the Word is here right now to anoint It and put us in a Resurrection and get us out of here. Come on. That’s exactly what it’s all about. But you dare and get off this Word, one Word you’re out.

Say, only believe, means the truth and that’s it.

Let’s rise and be dismissed.

Heavenly Father, we thank You for the fact that we have in this last day, something which brings the Word of God to a beautiful understanding, something Lord, that we are well aware of, that we do not resist, that we concur, and we admit to.

At least in the understanding that here is something that we can look at and know there is someone talking back even as John turned to see if it was a scriptural voice. We believe Lord, we have been in the same position and are in that same position to look at a Word which has been vindicated, true to us.

The same Word the apostle Paul has said, “One day the world is going to be judged by my gospel through Christ Jesus.”

The same one who said those at the end time are going to be taken out of here, given a special treatment, Resurrection power, go to the Wedding Supper on the grounds of the same Word being believed and not a perverted Word which was already perverted at the time of the Corinthians, when the people had already been impregnated with the false understanding.

So Lord, we believe we know where we stand on the true mechanics of the Word and believing Lord, that we are receiving truth, which are the true mechanics, we believe, Lord God in heaven, that the true dynamics also being here will activate that very Word of God bringing us together into that position of oneness.

And surely Lord, that fulfills the Word that You have said way back there roughly two thousand years ago, and there will be a Bride that is placed, and a Bride taken away.

Father in heaven, we know that we can bend our minds towards this, if we so desire, bringing our minds into captivity to the Word of Almighty God because we know It is true.

Help us Lord, to see the burden of responsibility in this particular area, can and does lie upon us to the extent that we know It is true, therefore, bringing our minds under It, and that can be done.

Because that certainly shows forth our faith in You Lord, which is true, which we have said Lord, and we hope it is not simply a saying of our mouth: live, die, sink and swim, we don’t have a think coming.

Lord, if it’s true, then our minds, it is wonderful, because then our minds are suffused with the Word of God, the door having been opened to It.

Help Your people Lord, to receive this to such an extent that day by day, they’ll walk in the glow and the wonderment of It.

And even bodies brought in subjection, Lord God, we know that is what really counts; it’s not a healing ministry, as though someone were walking amongst us to heal because we know the great Healer is here and the healing lies in that Word Lord, even as You sent Your Word to heal them.

Let it be also amongst us Lord, Your healing and the progression thereof in our bodies because the life therein is within us.

Grant us Lord, that we may diligently seek as never before, and hearing Your Voice and Your admonition within us, encourage us on and on with such strident tones as it were, not the slight calling of the whisper of the wind or a dove, but strident calls Lord, urging us on to the end Lord, that we might never lag, or never stay behind but move on.

Even as Brother Branham already mentioned this invincible army leaping over walls. That’s what a Bride is, getting caught away. So Father, help us as this end hour.

We know Lord, to even ask You to help us is redundant except in the sense that we may say, Lord, as it has been said before, as the man who said “I believe, help my unbelief.”

And in these things Lord, also, we ask them, that we be so encouraged somehow not asking for anymore than we got but just that life within it. So encourage us Lord, to now be avid seekers of further power of that life released in us until the very day we’re caught away.

Be with Your people, therefore, and help them in their understanding in their minds to know that the grace of God is with them and upon them and they are a part of Your host Lord, which whether the people can number or not, we know that You do number and know all their names and bring them forth.

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

‘Take the Name of Jesus with you.’
