Spoken Word is Original Seed; Book 2 #03

Shall we pray.

Heavenly Father, we know that only You can make Your own Word reveal to us and make It live, not as though of Itself It did not have life, because it is Your Word but rather Lord, for the hour and for the reason.

And we know in this day we have a certain hour and a certain reason and we pray Lord, we might be truly illuminated in our hearts and mind by It and know as we have never known before and yea, Lord, know to the perfection that You require of us and that is what we desire.

Teach us Your Word Lord, give us our necessary meat, that we may not starve Lord, but be as those calves of the stall that we may be well fed on the truth, Lord, and It may nurture us, and we draw strength from It Lord, and in turn manifest that even as Brother Branham set It forth which we know It is the truth.

Help us to receive It and in whatever case may be necessary, manifest It also and we give You the praise in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

You may be seated.

Now we’re in number 3 of the 2nd Message of Brother Branham’s ‘Spoken Word is Original Seed.’

And before we proceed studying it, I would say it’s good to again differentiate between the Pentecostal doctrine of latter rain and what Brother Branham is saying in order to understand the teaching rain and the harvest rain, because it seems there’s quite a difference in there.

Now to begin, 1906 started the Laodicean or Pentecostal chaff age, wherein some of the gifts of the Holy Spirit according to chapters 12 and 14 of 1 Corinthians began to be manifested.

And the Pentecostals as the people were called, began using Zechariah 10 along with Joel 2:23-26, to claim these Scriptures were fulfilled in those Pentecostals themselves.

And proved that the gifts of the Spirit had never been removed from the church by God, for reason as Baptist.

And others would say, “That the Scripture having been completed, the Bible now completed and knowing that It is the Word of God there were no reasons for signs any longer to follow the Word as proof of the authority of the canon of Scripture.”

Now, if we go to Zechariah 10 there, which is one of your last books of the Bible.

Now the Scripture you could use with that, but we’re not going to take time, then in Joel the 2nd chapter, and 23.

Now they got the word ‘month’ in there, but that is not true. That is just guessing at it. Under the present understanding of revelation. It says, as it was in the… that would be ‘as it was in the beginning.’

Now Brother Branham came on the scene forty years later in 1946, and you notice the forty years from 1906 to… ‘46, is very significant.

So Brother Branham came on the scene forty years later after 1906. And in 1946 with the gift of healing that surpassed and climaxed the entire age of Laodicea.

So starting in 1906 which has been called the latter rain, the out pouring of the power of Almighty God, the restoration of gifts and they called it the age of restoration spoken of in the Scripture. They misunderstood it.

Brother Branham came on the scene then with a greater ministry than has ever been seen. In fact, the historians have called it the greatest ministry since the time of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Now combined with the prophetic office, that’s the gift of healing, combined with the prophetic office which was based on THUS SAITH THE LORD, plus the gift of discernment; Brother Branham stated, “We have seen the Word of God manifested in power only, but not in revelation.”

In other words, not in its true real meaning; in other words, we have seen to the fact that we really know God is here, God is there, there is a God and He is manifesting that He is God. But we really don’t know who He is as to His intrinsicality and what the Word really says.

Now, that of course, does not sit with those who are well assured that they are the voice of Almighty God by reason of what they can manifest or think they actually know or manifest.

Now he was speaking restoration according to Acts 3:19b-21, which speaks of a great refreshing breath from Almighty God which indicates the actual Presence and the future coming of the Lord.

But it is merely an indicator, because between the time of this great and mighty refreshing and the actual literal coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, which will be the second time, there has to be a restoration of all that spoken by the mouths of the holy prophets which would be the Word of Almighty God.

So he was speaking of restoration according to Acts 3:19b-21, which sets forth that a mighty manifestation of power and true revelation of the Word, precedes the literal second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Now this tremendous healing revival with THUS SAITH THE LORD became the basis for a tremendous acceleration of power gifts, by the people misunderstanding the purpose of why this man was here and they didn’t even bother to come and find out.

They just read their own little thoughts, and their own little ways and said, “Hallelujah! This looks good. We can jump on the bandwagon, grab the ball and watch our smoke.”

That’s why Brother Branham many times came forth against the things that they were doing which were hindering his ministry, literally keeping his true ministry from coming out.

Now, THUS SAITH THE LORD and his tremendous gift of healing brought on an acceleration of other power gifts within the church and the five-fold ministries and in the pew, which were healing, faith and miracles, and some prophecies and things like that, in the Pentecostal realms and it brought forth the Pentecostal latter rain teaching.

Now notice, this acceleration of power and manifestation amongst the charismatic’s brought forth a latter rain teaching that formed their doctrine of Trinity, titled baptisms, falling away, tongues evidence, Rapture, and Appearing, as being one and the same; the second coming of Christ, gifts in the church, women preachers, everything else.

The Pentecostals knew well, that the latter rain in Scripture which is the harvest rain, referred to the end time harvest rain which in turn demanded the Resurrection and Rapture; Israel’s conversion to Christ, anti-Christ, Great Tribulation, the destruction and then the Millennium.

They knew it was to be the end time because it was harvest time and harvest is harvest.

What they did not know because there was no way for them to know outside of a divine intervention, that the Pentecostal era from 1906 with this restoration of gifts was not the exact and ultimate meaning of what the latter rain really was. They merely took it to be a power ministry.

What Brother Branham told us was that the exact revelation and, therefore, the ultimate of this hour was a new message or the teaching rain proven to be a new message by a truly vindicating healing revival.

Which when the seed’s planted by William Branham and the Pentecostals and other Protestant denominations, namely those that follow Billy Graham, would come up into a harvest under the true latter rain or harvest rain which means all seeds are quickened by the Holy Spirit whether they be wheat or tares, to manifest either for or against the Word as given by vindication.

So you’re going to see then that the seeds being people would begin to conform to one of the two patterns. One of the vindicated Word or to the organizational charismatic movement as they came together under one head.

Now this truth is proven by the vision of Hebrews 6. Now Brother Branham talks about that as I mentioned last week.

That the Bible opened up as he wondered what with these Pentecostals; here’s a Pentecostal preacher, a truly fine person, born again, using a gift, and here’s another man, absolutely, a dyed-in-the-wool hypocrite sinner, no more born again than a snake in the grass. And he’s using gifts.

And Brother Branham saw this vision of the earth beginning to turn. As the sun rose, a man in white went forth sowing.

Afterward a man in black furtively began to sow seeds, the earth turned, the next turn showed the wheat and the tares coming up and the heavens turned to brass. There was no rain.

Then they all began to pray, and the tares began crying, “Oh God, send the rain.” And the wheat began crying, “Oh God, send the rain,” See, ask… you for time of rain in the latter rain. And lo, and behold, the rain came.

And the wheat says, “Thank you Lord. Praise the Lord.” And the tares had a hoe-down, praising the Lord and thanking the Lord.

And Brother Branham then began to see that as the rain fell upon the tares and the wheat, they were both anointed, and you couldn’t tell the one from the other, but one was wheat and one was tares.

One was of the sowing and that is the sowing of the Word of God, which was the re-sowing the former rain of this end time, a new message, and the proven message… the message to be proven had a tremendous healing revival which was a tremendous gift of healing and THUS SAITH THE LORD and discernment and these things proving it.

Thus we see in this last Pentecostal age, known to Pentecostals as the latter rain, or restoration, they have a partial and therefore, incorrect revelation.

And what they call ‘latter rain’ is merely a manifestation of the power of God’s Word which, therefore, has no effect to bring about the true harvest of the true vine or wheat. Has nothing to do with it. See, many people think it has.

But if you don’t have the former rain, if the teaching has not been changed, the same old tired doctrine, you merely have a harvest of what you are, you have it anyway, but it’s the Holy Spirit end time harvest rain ripening, will ripen the wheat and the tares at the same time.

So ‘the real latter rain’ is the Holy Spirit ripening the grain, the seeds which have been planted and especially the grain of God. So the seeds are all planted, “It’s all over,” Brother Branham says.

They came up and they grew up. They are now ripening. The denominational seed is a hundred percent manifested by rejecting the prophet messenger and message of God, especially the Pentecostals who come against us with their gifts.

Among us who say they believe the end time message, are believers, make-believers, and plain simple liars who are unbelievers, but claim to believe.

Though declaiming against organization, as though it made them right, they are still wrong, or worse than the organized.

Brother Branham said so, “But many come out are worse than those that stay in.” In this hour God will reap the vine of God and then the sickle or sword will reap the false vine of the earth.

That’s stated over here as the destiny of the Lord Jesus Christ by the great prophet John, who was greater than any prophet born of a woman, at least at that particular time, Jesus Himself said so.

That sounds strange but it’s true.

He said, “You better stop your thinking, you better repent, you better change your mind,” because you’re thinking.

See, now notice, the same One that came in those clouds… in 2 Thessalonians, the 1st chapter, that same One… that same fire cleanses the Bride, burns up the chaff.

You notice right in there it says, that that One whose fan is in His hand is going to bring about that judgment.

Chaff is Pentecostal, and will actually be in the forefront of condemning the true believers. Now if you don’t understand that we go back to history.

Who was it that condemned Luther? The group out of which he came. Who was it that condemned the Methodist? The group out of which they came.

Catholics, the Lutherans, to the Wesleyans, the Methodists. Then who was it that played hob with the Pentecostals? The Methodists.

So now who are the ones that are going to turn on and do their best to destroy, to harm or do harm to those of us that believe this message? Pentecostals.

Now you’d have to be sitting in complete ignorance not to know that. And I’m sure you know it and I’m sure you rejoice in the Word of God. Now all right.

Brother Branham has just spoken about the true evidence of the baptism with the Holy Ghost on page 7 which is to receive the Word of the Lord for the hour.

Now he goes back again in that next paragraph which would be paragraph 5 and he goes back to his first sermon.

And he recalls to our minds after he tells us what that true evidence is and he’d been talking about the seed and the rain and so on. All right.

[69-4]  Now, we found out and went on [to say in the last sermon that]… as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, (we talked about that), how that these things would be in the last days.

Which is what I just said. The charismatics are going to have to withstand us, because they’re the only ones that qualify as Jannes and Jambres. They’ve got legitimate gifts.

But the gifts that they have can only deal with elements of the prophetic and cannot deal with the revealed Word of God. They don’t have it.

Now if you go back and look over how that Balaam stood there you will find he was dealing with the elements of the prophetic, but he wasn’t dealing with the pure Word of God, because the Word of God does not come to the phony prophets.

Even though they’re true in the sense of being anointed gift wise. So, all right. He’s talking about Jannes and Jambres.

And he’s talking about Balaam, but Jannes and Jambres particularly were the ones that first withstood Moses. Now remember they had a heathen religion. But remember, so do the Catholics and the Protestants.

Brother Branham said, “Methodist, Baptist, witchcraft.” But he also told us that Rome had the Babylonian religion which was the trinity of God which was, absolutely, idolatry. So, all right.

These people are now anointed. And we have Roman Catholic priests who actually raised the dead; it happened in Indiana. Marvelous prophecies that came to pass.

Then they have the little theologian and her name is Forden, she stands up and she lets everybody know, “Hey, we got the same thing you Pentecostals and Protestants got. But you better make sure of one thing, don’t you mess with our doctrine.”

So you see what Brother Branham is saying is absolutely as clear as the Rocky Mountains in America, and the Andes down there in South America… or the Himalayans, they’re your greatest mountains in the world. You couldn’t miss it.

[69-4]  …Jannes and Jambres [withstanding] Moses,… how… these things would be in the last days. [Same thing.] Now, and the last quotation we had was that God made every seed after its kind;

Now notice, he’s talking about one seed withstanding the other seed, especially talking about people, though the Scripture he gave referred to just seed, period, ‘spora’, or ‘sperma’, it wouldn’t matter too much, but mostly spora. All right.

[69-4]  Now, and the last quotation we had was that God made every seed after its kind; that’s His Seed. [Now he’s talking about His Seed.] Then when He made His Seeds, you see, then when He God made God’s… Man in God’s image, was the seed of His Word.

[Now what is the Seed? A seed is a little instrument that actually carries life.] So God did that. And when we receive the Word of God, then we become God’s Word in our flesh. See?

Okay. We already have a part of the Word. The evidence of being baptized with the Holy Ghost where you get the teacher whereby you will always say, ‘Amen’ to all the Word of God and not be frightened off and not change a Word, you’ll not come and sin.

There’s where you now become God’s Word in your flesh. And that’s exactly what Brother Branham said. “When we receive the Word of God we become the Word of God in our flesh.”

[69-4]  [And he said,] The church should be in that condition.

Now notice what you’re looking at here. You are not looking at a self-transformation. You are looking at an impartation. And the impartation makes you that. See?

Now, let’s just go to 2 Corinthians, the 5th chapter. I will read a little bit there. Well, we can start at verse 14.

Now you see, we wouldn’t be constrained except for the love of God doing it. See, we’d… go in another direction. We go now.

No use living for a dead man, that would be stupid. That’s how they’re doing for Mohammed and Joe Smith, the Mormon and all that idiocy. We’re not living that unto death.

Now you are made that by Him. It has nothing to do with you. It has nothing to do with your thinking. Nothing to do with your acting. Nothing to do with your planning. Nothing to do with you in any way materializing it.

It is absolutely and strictly non conditional to the Bride, to His elect, and Brother Branham said, “The church should be in the condition having received the Word, now become the Word of God in flesh.”

Now right away let’s have more gifts, let’s have more this, let’s have more that, let’s have something else. Why don’t you shut-up and listen for God’s sake?

This is why I have all the trouble with every preacher, “Lee Vayle, has no love. He is as mean as a snake. Oh, that horrible spirit he’s got on the Presence of God.”

What’s their spirit? Their spirit is believing a lie. Soft-peddling. [Inaudible] like men.

“Cursed be the man whose sword doesn’t draw blood.”

You want to be a bunch of mealy mouth hypocrites, go ahead. I’m not saying one thing in defense of Lee Vayle as being a sweet, kind, wonderful, generous, beautiful, happy, glorious, marvelous, overflowing of Christ, Christian. I’m not saying that.

And if you claim it and these birds out there claim it, I want to see it because anybody that doesn’t agree with them has a mean spirit. I’ve never said they had a mean spirit. But they seem to have no trouble coming against the Word.

I told you; I keep telling you, Jesus Christ if he had kept his mouth shut would never have been crucified. If Paul [Peter] had kept his mouth shut; he never would have been crucified.

Since Rome has taken up the gifts of the spirit and manifested as this priest did in London. I forget his name, but I can get it. It’s on a tape, I preached it.

And he stood there and he said, “My, what a twist. Here the Pentecostals are coming to be prayed for by a Roman Catholic priest. We used to come to you.”

Now the Pentecostals have killed themselves by their tongues evidence, so every Roman Catholic who still kisses the pope’s toe and hails the Virgin Mary, somehow has to be born again. Somehow has to be full of the Holy Ghost.

Now what’s going to happen to the foolish virgin when she’s here and she opens her mouth? She’s going to die for opening her mouth. And we’re going to be gone.

Why was Brother Branham hated? Because he opened his stupid fat Kentucky mouth. If he’d of had the brains of a politician, he’d of grinned, “Brethren…” Come on.

The same man distinctly said, “How can anyone with all the light, sees all the light, believes all the light, have any fellowship with the man who only believes part of it?” Sweep it under the rug. Forget it. Forget it!

Even your flesh can be at rest when you believe this message, and It’s struck home to you, by God Himself.

When we receive the Word of God then we become God’s Word in our flesh, and they say, “Yes, Brother Vayle, that’s true, now you have what it takes in order that these things I can use and develop.”

Now isn’t that nice. I take a God given seed which God Himself created, which God Himself is behind, and it is a yellow corn seed, and I put the seed in the ground and everything is there for the seed like we are God’s husbandry, and the seed says, “Now watch me go to work, and I’ll show you a thing or two.” Horse feathers!

[69-4]  The Church should be in that condition. [What? To receive the Word.]

[69-5]  Now, then after He made man in His Own image- “In the image of God made he him… created he him…” Now after He did this (Now, don’t miss this.), after God made,

…His man in His Own image by His Own spoken Word, now that was the perfect man, but where the fall came, was when He took from him a byproduct and made him a bride.

That’s where the trouble is now. If you were spiritual, you’ve already caught it. See, see? It wasn’t Adam that got in trouble. It wasn’t Adam that doubted the Word; it was his bride that doubted the Word. And it isn’t Jesus that’s doubting the Word, for He was the Word; it’s His bride.

Now he’s trying to show you something there in a type. Adam, the spoken Word Seed child of God, created, formed, and then given a part of God, breathed in his nostrils the breath of lives, and man became that living soul. We see every single thing that God did.

Now John, 1 John confirms this. So let’s just not knock Brother Branham on the head, and say, “Now Brother Branham hold it right there because I got a lot of Scripture.” Why don’t you shut-up? Yeah. All right. Verse 9,

Now what caused the birth? Well, say the man caused his birth. Well, isn’t that great. If you’d of caused your birth, I can tell you one thing here, that Garry wouldn’t be getting bald, he’d of made sure that Garry had lots of hair.

And you’d better believe I’d of had a better system for my head, too. And Bruce is getting his hair shot. And Russ has just about got his gone. And Al and Norm sitting there ain’t got nothing to write home about.

The rest of you birds are going to lose yours, too likely. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could have something to do with it? Why not? If you’re a seed? Every person tonight was in your father, not in your mother. The mother was the bedding ground. That’s where you were.

Now it says right here, that whatsoever is born of God cannot sin, whatsoever, whosoever. Because why? There’s a seed there.

So Brother Branham says right here his revelation concerning Adam was, “It wasn’t becoming to God to have a son that would fall so, therefore, he took a by-product from him. There’s a step down. There’s a difference.”

I know it’s pretty hard to look at this but let’s go a little further. He said here,

[69-5]  …it was his bride that doubted the Word. And it isn’t Jesus that is doubting the Word, for He was the Word…; it’s His bride.

Now Eve wasn’t in that category. Now I know everybody wants to put her there. And I know that people want to just make the Scripture all mess up.

So let’s go to Romans 5, and start messing it up. And I can go to the Bible right and prove Brother Branham didn’t know what he was saying, hallelujah.”

Jump up and down and speak in tongues, as though that makes it really authentic. Ha, ha, ha, phooey, yeah. Verse 12,

“Aha, there it is right there, I’m telling you the truth, boy, oh boy. Brother Branham blew it, yup, yup.” If Brother Branham blows it, then Paul blew it.

“Because Paul doesn’t even know what he’s talking about, and he talks out of both sides of his mouth and he’s an idiot. And for all the claiming that he was vindicated, he wasn’t. Was just a fluke of nature somewhere.”

Let’s find out if that’s true.

Let’s go to,

What has eating apples got to do with bearing a baby? The only thing that she can have to bear a baby is the human male sperm or she ain’t going to get pregnant, period.

Whether it starts by natural sexual intercourse or goes through a test tube or something else, she hasn’t got a prayer.

So when two homosexual women get together, two lesbians are going to have a family, they still got to have a man somewhere.

It’s got to be a monkey in the tree somewhere. Because she can’t get pregnant by herself, neither can two males.

You see, Paul doesn’t contradict himself. People just don’t know what he’s talking about, trying to pit Scripture against Scripture.

The fact of the matter was this, Adam was absolutely, not deceived, he was not fooled. What he did he did knowing a hundred percent what he was doing which was he took Eve, already pregnant by somebody else and took her as his wife and protected her and the child that would now be in her womb by his sperm.

He knew exactly what he was doing and in that way he was obeying a commandment of God, in a wrong way. But he positively knew the Word of Almighty God and those things.

I can’t explain it anymore than that. You just sit around and listen to what Brother Branham said and we’ll go from there.

[70-1]  There’s where the hybridizing comes: didn’t come through Adam.

It certainly did not come through Adam, the child born of him, Abel, was absolutely a son of God, and he never was in error.

He knew the Word of God completely and obeyed It, went right to the sacrifice, where his filthy half-brother, and he wasn’t really his brother because he was serpent seed. See, the children are in the father’s loins. Whose loins were you in?

[70-1]  There’s where the hybridizing comes in: didn’t come through Adam. Shame on you who don’t see that. It’s not Adam’s fault. He had nothing to do with it. If death come by Adam, then it came by God.

Now watch the prophet go into high gear and explain Paul. There’s your mystery, how can you say in Romans and deny it over there in Timothy?

It tells you: “If death came by Adam then it came by God, because he is a Word child of God where there’s life, not death.”

And the command was keep living and multiply, propagate, bring more life. Never said bring death. There’s no Word for it. So then, therefore, there’s another word here somewhere.

[70-1]  Death came by crossbreeding. Death can’t come by God’s Word.

Certainly, it can’t come by God’s Word. It lives and abides forever. How can living, abiding Word die? How can God die? He stands behind His Word to perform It. All things were made by Him and maintained by Him which is by the Word.

[70-1]  Death can’t come by God’s Word. Death comes by crossbreeding It through denominations and creed. Instead of Christ, …instead of the Word… dogma. It doesn’t come by the Word. [That’s death doesn’t.] The Word is Life.

Jesus said, “My words are Life,” and the Spirit quickens that Word and makes It Life. [What’s he talking about? Brings it forth in the hour of his manifestation.]

To crossbreed It, there’s where the death comes from. And if Adam, being God’s Word, His spoken Word, His original Seed (for He was the first, then by creation), then His second Adam was also by creation, spoken Word. You follow?

Now, Adam was not deceived, but His bride was deceived. [Quoting Timothy.]  Christ today is not deceived. The Word is not deceiving. It’s the bride that’s doing the deceiving by the Word. [See, changing It.] You see it?

[70-2]  Now, God gave him a bride: a type of the second Adam. He gave the first Adam a bride; she fell. He gave the second Adam, Christ, a bride; she fell. That’s exactly right. Why? She is not the original; she is a byproduct.

Then we are a byproduct also, because if she was in Adam, we were in Christ; follow your type.

The bride today is a by-product. See, she calls herself the bride. But what she is, she’s made up of the material of organization, not of the Word, so much…

Word in it to make it kind of a by-product to make it hypocritical. Eve believed most of the Word, but she doubted one part of It. Today she can’t even get… Matthew 28:19 straight with Acts 2:38.

[What’s that? Baptized in the Name of Father, Son and Holy Ghost, then baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.] See? It confuses her. That’s just one little piece of hundreds of others.

[70-3]  Now, the bride of Adam [Eve] was a type of the second Adam’s bride, Now, …Adam’s bride could not wait. God had told Adam and Eve,…

He told them to multiply, not her and the serpent. She just ran around mucking around. How do you like them apples? Brother Branham called her, “The prostitute Eve.” Oh, shocking, shocking, shocking!

Hey, why didn’t they get mad at him like they get mad at me? “Oh, I love Brother Branham.” Oh, I teach him exactly. Why don’t you love me? He told me they wouldn’t. I’m happy.

You say, “Brother Vayle, you got a funny kind of happiness.” I told you I got a funny kind of love, funny kind of happiness; it comes from God. You like your kind; I like my kind. You know, I kid you not. Yeah.

[70-3]  God told Adam and Eve, “Multiply and replenish the earth.” [See, like Adam and Eve they just couldn’t wait for that right seed to come and all.] “Multiply and replenish the earth.” It was an oncoming thing- a promise. [Actually, it was a command and a promise, too, involved in there.]

Now watch! Listen to this. These people that want you to believe that soon as you’re engaged to a girl, you’ve asked her to marry, you’ve got to marry her, or if you don’t marry her, you’re already married and you can’t marry somebody else. Watch what he says!

[70-3]  She was not his wife as yet, because he had never lived with her.

What about those that make her a wife and don’t marry her? You see, why everything is so messed up ever since that fall with sex.

The Bride of Christ is not yet His Wife; the wedding supper is to take place. Get it? Notice, oh this is rich.

Now people won’t think this is rich. Say, “Brother Branham you’re smacking your spiritual chops and licking your spiritual lips. Your spiritual gastric juices are flowing.”

Now listen! Can you get excited with him?

…oh, this is rich. She got in a hurry, and what did she do? -She crossed her seed.

What he is saying is just too rich for people’s poor weak watered down blood, they can’t take these red corpuscles that carry oxygen and life, too many white cells. You’re going to get leukemia and die. You can’t handle it. Your stomach so queasy, you just couldn’t take the manna. Okay.

[70-3]  …Oh, this is rich, [Notice this is rich. I’ve got to belabor this because I have my horrible sense of irony and sarcasm here.] she got in a hurry, and what did she do?-

She crossed her seed. She mingled it with the serpent’s seed; and when she did,… What did she bring forth? She brought a child of death, [and a killer, too,] she perverted every child after that.

Every child was imprinted. Yup. She passed something on. You get gonorrhoeic, you pass it on. Syphilis, you pass it on. “Hast thou sown the seed you’ve sown?” Pass it on. You sure do. “It will not be for you alone,” you passed it on.

Watch it wander down the years. Watch it destroy, bring a flood of tears. Yeah, ‘till in hell the thing appears, finally burnt up. You’ll pass it on, don’t worry. Where in the world are we? Yeah, replenish the earth.

[70-3]  She mingled it with serpent seed; she perverted every child after that. And when the church of Jesus Christ was perverted in the time of Rome, after her virgin birth, and was given to Christ at Pentecost.

What did she do? She crossed herself with Roman dogmas. And the Protestant church has done the same thing. She can’t wait.

And they can’t wait now to show God and everybody that they’re right and they’ll kill to do it.

[71-1]  A woman engaged to a fine, young, clean man, and before they come together, what’s she done? She is found pregnant by somebody else. Then her own seed which is betrothed, her own body which is betrothed to her boyfriend, her engaged husband, is found full of the seed of another man. What a disgrace. That’s exactly what Adam found.

[71-2]  That’s what Christ has found. [That’s 2 Corinthians 11.] Couldn’t wait. That’s what’s the matter is with people today. They can’t wait for the real Holy Spirit to take the church… [the church’s] …position.

What’s the real Holy Spirit? The Lord Himself descend from heaven with a Shout, with the message, which is a Word of command and subjection and remember the woman is subject to the husband.

So if Christ comes down with the Word of subjection; it’s to His wife. And when she gets the Word of subjection and believes It, she is now in church order. Because her husband is her head.

I’ve been preaching that. That’s what 1 Corinthians is all about. “Oh, Lee Vayle’s a liar; he’s got his own message. He left, he… you know, blah, blah, blah, blah.” They all say so.

Now they hate The Church Age Book; they’re doing their best to get rid of it. Yeah. The book that’s done the most work for this message; can’t stand anymore, because now it’s a family affair, they’ve got a dynasty.

Oh, I could be real talented, show you my talent with satire at this moment but we’ll just bypass it. We’ll bypass it.

[71-2]  That’s what Christ found. [2 Corinthians 11.] Couldn’t wait: that’s what’s the matter with… people today. They can’t wait for the real Holy Spirit to take the Church’s position. [Or take it to the position. See.]

They’ve got to manufacture something, work up something– initial evidence, speaking in tongues–get more members in the church, all kinds of tommyrot instead of waiting upon the Lord for the real manifestation of the resurrection of Christ making Himself known among the people.

[What did what already took place in Matthew 12. It’s already done.] She can’t wait.

All right. Let me see if we got anything over here. Let’s turn to page 58 and see the fourth one, maybe, one, two, three, four.

“Nothing can harm her not even death, for if the seed be planted, the water will raise it up again. Here is the secret, the Word is in the Bride and the mind of Christ to know what he wants done with the Word and she does it in His name. She has THUS SAITH THE LORD.”

So… they couldn’t wait for what was to be there. They couldn’t wait for the prophet to come. For the Bride to have its headship manifested.

[71-3]  What did she do? She went out and become [pregnant by denominationalism or] pregnated with denominationalism. First was the Assemblies of God; then come the Oneness, then come what [ever] more after that.

Now, the so-called bride is pregnated with all kinds of tommyrot, it’s a disgrace. The women today won’t pay a bit more attention to what God’s Word says than nothing in the world, neither will the men, or even the preachers. Then call that a bride!

[71-4]  What is it? She’s impregnated. Christ’s bride has become pregnant with the world: dressing like the world, acting like the world, and big churches, It shows what she is.

Now he’s talking of the Laodicean picture; there’s no doubt about it, until it says, “Come out of her, my people.”

[71-4]  She’s of the devil. That’s what Satan did in… the first place, was try to build a big beautiful kingdom in the heaven and was kicked out for it, excommunicated from heaven. That’s why Christ’s modern bride is… kicked out, because she’s excommunicated from God, because she is a whore and not a virgin. It’s deep, but I hope you get it.

Well, that’s true, because the divorce takes place in Matthew 25 and in 2 Thessalonians, the 2nd chapter.

[72-1]  Adam’s bride could not wait, but she mingled her seed illegally. We are supposed to believe God’s Word and that alone!

Just leave It alone; that’s all there is to It. Don’t add. Don’t take. Don’t surmise. Don’t presume. Wait. Just believe It and wait. That’s what Eve didn’t do.

[72-2]  Now, brethren, here and on the tape, do you see why I am contending for that Word, word by word. [See, that’s what I say right there, Paul contended for the Word, he was set for the defence of the gospel.]

[72-2]  Now, brethren, here and on the tape, do you see why I am contending for that Word, word by word. I’ve told you I believe that It is God’s Truth. God’s protected that Bible.

Now see, that’s the most marvelous thing of all, that we know that this Word is correct. This Bible because It’s vindicated by the fact that Brother Branham believing It and taking from It, God answers back to It. See?

Now, God’s protected that Bible. He’s got to judge the world by something: through Christ [Jesus] which is the Word, and this Word was made flesh to become Jesus Christ.

Paul said, “He’d judges the world by my gospel.”

…I’m just letting it soak in. Remember, the Word. And now He finds her all messed up. You think He’d marry such a thing as that? Never. He’s holy.

Now, let me see if I can do something here, without getting out of order, and fouling us up as to the continuity of this Message. All right.

Let’s go to Exodus, chapter 20, now here is where God gives the Ten Commandments.

Now I am the God that did something to get your attention and prove that you were under some kind of a God, theistic power, because it’s been demonstrated to you.

Now I admit He says, “You saw me in a Pillar of Fire. Now I’m that One that vindicated Myself to you. You don’t know Me. You hardly know anything about Me, but you saw My mighty works and you know somebody is behind them. I’m that God and don’t you ever dare let that slip, that you saw Me vindicated to you and whether you know My Name or anything about me, you remember I am that God.”

All right.

You get what I’m saying? “And beside me there isn’t any other and for you to suggest anything existing apart from Me who did these signs and wonders, you’re finished.” Right, Pete? That’s simple, eh. Couldn’t have it any simpler than that.

Think so, Russ? You’re a smart man, lots of degrees, if you want to put them on paper. What about it? Now let it sink in. All right.

Now look what he’s saying here. The people that get out of line with vindication they’re finished. See? Now, anything else is idolatry.

So if you’re sitting here and you’re confused and you’ve only got one thing to say, like Elisha, “Where is the Lord God of Elijah?” Like Eliezer, “Oh Lord God of my Father Abraham.”

If you’re wondering whether I’m preaching one or two gods like some people, that haven’t come in out of the rain yet or whatever, all you got to say is, “Oh Lord God, of William Branham, You’re the One I’m talking to.”

They can’t even do that, they’re so smart. What happens; they start bowing down to strange gods. And it gets passed onto their children.

Because when Israel did not recognize God and they began to look at a prophet who could truly prophesy, Balaam, they ran right into sexual sins of adultery.

Now let’s get this flat. After the third and fourth generation of them that hate, their love is sexual and the first thing you find they’re going to be bound down and destroyed by sexual sins, because that’s exactly what happens and if you don’t believe me, read again please, read again.

The 1st chapter of Romans and the Book of Jude and you will see that the denial of God brings about sexual sins and perversions which will wipe out the earth. And it’s happened right today, and it happens every time.

If you want to know when everything is going to get really wiped out about that date, you go back to Mr. Bertrand Russell the great wonderful philosopher out of England that everybody adores, who was the first guy that believed in shacking up. And he called it ‘companion in marriage’, so if it didn’t work, bounce her and get somebody else.

And look at the state of Norway and Sweden, the college kids, and kids come home, they shack up in bed and momma brings them tea and toast and coffee to revive their spirits so they can go at it again the same night, and everything is hunky dory. They’re supposed to be spiritual Protestants.

They would put a Roman Catholic convent in an adventry, or whatever you call them, where the monks are one door, and the nuns are the next and they got a tunnel between; they put them to shame. But at least the Catholics try to do it in secret and the Protestants are out there doing it in the street.

Brother Branham talked about Billy Graham taking his wife in the park in London, because that’s what’s going on; the most despicable illegitimate country in the world. I’m just telling you what the Bible says. Lest you do what you want with it. Of them that hate me.

How do you hate God? You refuse His introduction to you. You refuse His currying favour with you. So you’re a whore. You can’t stand a decent man.

Now, this says you hate Him when you don’t accept vindication. “Oh, Brother Vayle, Brother Vayle…” I’m glad you challenge me. Oh, I just love challenges.

See, I know what the prophet said whether you do or not. That goes for the tapes and anybody else that doesn’t even hear my voice.

Jesus said in John 15:22 “If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not sinned, but now they have no cloak for their sin. He that hateth me, hateth my Father also,” and he tells you how it is done.

“If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, vindicated, they had not sinned, but now they’ve both seen and hated both me and my Father.”

You want to hate God? Deny His vindication. Deny His Presence. “Oh, I love Him, Brother Vayle.”

I got news for you. I love God in a way they will never love God, and I can back my boast by the Bible. They haven’t got a clue to what I’m talking about. I’ve preached this for years.

You people really believe the Bible? I guess you do or you wouldn’t sit under my teaching, I can tell you that.

Of course you can say, “I sit under Brother Vayle, he claims to preach Brother Branham, but he doesn’t.” You show me where I’m off the Bible, come on. Can’t do it.

Yeah, you can pull the trick. “That’s two souls, I don’t agree with it.” You don’t have to agree with me any time. Who asked you to? You got some backbone; you’re sitting here.

Exodus 20:

See, because the devil can’t heal. Yeah. That’s why it was a great healing revival.

You see why millions are going to go to the lake of fire in this last end time, because every member of the Church of Christ that really believes Church of Christ believes the devil heals.

You say, “Brother Vayle.” Hey, don’t brother me. Come up here and give me a sign that I’m off the Word. This Bible’s a lie, give me a sign.

Why you can’t even chew tobacco and spit, you can’t even stand tobacco to spit it? Your mouth isn’t tough enough, even to chew tobacco, then how can it handle the Word of God? Not you people here.

Now he’s talking about a name. This is our relationship to God. What about a name? What about a name? What about a name? Let’s go back to Exodus.

We go back to Exodus, if I can finally get there, from there and here we got Moses, and Moses goes to the burning bush. And God says, “Go on down there, and tell about Me.”

“Why,” he said, “I don’t even know about who You are and what’s Your Name. They’ll say, ‘What’s His Name?’ What am I going to say?”

“Well,” He said, “I’m the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”

He said, “That doesn’t tell anything about it.”

He said, “I am that I am. I am the self-existing One. And there’s none beside Me.”

Now what happened in our day? Elohim came down and He’s still here. So now the guy… and now listen, I will bring from my home, I know I’ve got it there somewhere, who preached the Presence, named it, wrote it, now sneers at the Parousia.

Shall I call him by name? His name’s on the material. I’ll bring it, if I can just remember and find it. Who’s here? If He’s not here; where’s He gone? How do you know He’s gone? If He did go? The prophet didn’t say He went.

He said, “The Pillar of Fire will lead you into the Millennium. The same One that stands with the Word is here to raise the dead.” He doesn’t go back. He’s not some yo-yo on a string.

Came down with the shout, went back. Came down to raise the dead, went back. Came down to pick us up, went back. Ha, hogwash!

He does all three in descending: one descent. The same One that saw the apostle Paul. Yeah. So I got two gods and they’re Jesus-Only.

Brother Branham said, “Jesus-Only isn’t it.” He said, “Trinity’s not it. We stand in between.”

How do you stand between? You make Jesus his own father; you get rid of the Son; don’t you? Or you get rid of the Father, one of the two. Isn’t that strange, they believe the picture.

The Roman Catholic heathen Babylonian picture, the woman and the son, Nimrod’s wife, Semiramis, I guess her name was, and this little feller, whatever his name was, and it says, the child, or the son, or the child, is the husband of the mother. He’s his own father.

Brother Branham said, “That’s not so.” All right, I don’t know where people are coming from. Personally I’ll just let that one go… See, okay. Now where in the world was I? Oh yeah. He said here,

[72-2]  Now brethren, here and on the tape, do you see why I am contending for that Word, word by word. I’ve told you I believe this is God’s Truth. [Absolutely.] God’s protected that Bible.

Oh, they say, “I don’t know about that.” The Pentecostals try to say because we talk in tongues and got gifts and things, it’s been through the ages, which is true. And those signs follow the Word and believe me if they follow the Word that’s a mighty good Word.

But can you identify the One behind It? Now, we’re to identification. And that is vindication. And vindication speaks before there is even a Word to prove it is the Word, then if it is the Word then the signs will follow.

And we got the perfect picture. This is the unrelenting, indomitable Word of Almighty God that prevails with God Himself, because it’s God in print, if you want to put it the simple way, Brother Branham put it.

[72-2]  He’s got to judge the world by something—through Jesus Christ which is the Word, and this Word was made flesh to become Jesus Christ…

Paul said the same thing, “Judge the world by one Christ Jesus and judge the world by my gospel.” And it’s been done already.

…I’m just letting it soak in. Remember, the Word. And now He finds her all messed up. You think he’s marry such a thing as that? Never. He’s holy.

[In other words, perfectly compatible with the perfect Word, everything is perfect.] She couldn’t wait. Illegal, that’s what Adam found. [See, she wouldn’t stay legal. You’re only legal with the Word.] …that’s what Adam found.

[72-3]  Now, brethren, sister, look back. If you look at a shadow of anything, it’s the very expression of the real image that’s coming. So, you see, Adam had to find the wife pregnant. And she said, “The serpent beguiled me.”

[72-4]  Now, …I’m going to take it both ways just… a few minutes, and the Lord willing (See?), show you that it’s impossible for it to be anything else.

[72-5]  Now, Adam’s bride could not wait, but she went forward first. That’s the way today, the bride today. She wants to manufacture something. “Glory to God,” she’s got to work it up on the platform. [Have you ever seen them do it? Oh boy.] She’s got to have everything. See? What is she doing? She’s… manufacturing something.

[72-6]  [Now] …look where it’s going. You can see there’s nothing to it; it’s a phony. Exactly right.

What’s he talking about? Pentecostal Laodicean church age. Charismatic, the whole system is one.

See, look. You’ve got to have this end time church play out everything in exact contradistinction to what the Bride is doing but it’s got to be illegal.

Everything in the Word she’s supposed to manifest, she will manifest. And if the Pentecostals don’t do it, the Catholics will do it. And if the Baptists don’t do it, you better believe the Presbyterians will come along and help them.

It’s got to manifest itself. The seed’s been sown. She’s a phony baloney. She’s pretending and she’s manifesting. She’s manufacturing. That’s where Pentecost gets all haywire.

“We’ve got the gifts, haven’t we? Aren’t gifts of God? Well, Amen, is in the Word, then we’re in the Word, we’re okay, we got it.” It doesn’t say that. It says the exact opposite.

Judas was there doing the same things that the rest were doing and don’t think for one minute Judas was saying, “Hey, you fellow, come, come, come here, I’m with those eleven birds over there, but that phony baloney from Galilee, that thinks he’s Messiah, I want to tell you something, he’s phony.”

He was saying, “Listen, that’s the Messiah. Hey, look what he’s doing. Nobody can do that but Messiah.” Oh, he led the gang for awhile. He had the money, too. Golden calf scheme.

Come on, people, he raised the dead; everything else in Jesus’ Name. Catholic priests are doing it right now. Look where it’s going. You can see there’s nothing to it. It’s a phony. It’s exactly right.

[72-6]  If it wasn’t, this world would be… [Now listen!] If it wasn’t, this world would be aflame with the power of God;

[If the Pentecostal charismatic’s were right, the world would be aflame,] the church would be on fire; The dead would be raised and all kinds of things would be taking place. But what did she get sowed up with before Christ could get to her, before He got to her to plant His Own seed?

[Now he’s talking right about the end time.] What did she have? Weed seed, [You can go back… to the back, the age of Paul, this age, I don’t care where you take it, because remember there’s a re-sowing, Brother Branham himself, admitted it’s Deuteronomy, twice spoken, twice given.]

What did she have? Weed seed, [W-e-e-d s-e-e-d,] the world, denominational seed. That’s the reason why she’s reaping her harvest right now. I hope you don’t–make you upset, and I hope it gets right down to the place where I’ll trust that God has given it to you. See?

Now in other words, he’s talking about the charismatic chaff and what is going on today. And remember the end result started way back there in Paul’s age.

They got off of track on the wrong spirit, the wrong Word, and the wrong Jesus. How far can you be off? And all in the Name of the Lord, they don’t even know.

[72-7]  And she’s mingled her seed illegally, illegal to the Word. What was she trying to find? (Now, listen close.) What was she after? Wisdom, wisdom. …that’s what she’s done today.

She’s sent her preachers away to schools, incubated them out on a machine, psychology, all kinds of stuff that… not even in the Bible. And she’s incubating her eggs.

…And when she’s done, she’s brought out a product of a bunch of people that compromise anything and refuse the very message of God, not knowing what she’s doing.

That’s what Revelations says, absolutely, they will not come in here.

[73-1]  She’s ignorant of it. [Now listen! That’s where everybody is, but remember ignorance is winked at when you listen, as it was in the days of John the Baptist. She’s ignorant] She doesn’t believe it–she doesn’t think she’s wrong.

Neither did Eve think she was wrong. Eve thought she was right. And if that was a type, and this is the anti-type, it’ll have to work the same way the type did. Now, to me that’s just two times two equal four.

Now what’s Brother Branham saying? He’s telling you right here that the church that doesn’t have the true Word is going to bring forth the anti-Christ while the Bride that turns to the Word coming out is going to bring forth Christ manifest in flesh and that’s exactly a hundred percent true.

Because he said, “When that Spirit that’s amongst us becomes incarnate to us, we’ll crown Him King of kings, and Lord of lords, and that’s just before the burning.”

You cannot get away from this, brother/sister; it’s a hundred percent true with the Word of Almighty God. She was ignorant of it.

Now let me show you something right here that you may understand what I’m saying and never forget this as long as you live, and I believe you know it, I don’t think I have to tell you, but I’ll tell you again, here’s concerning John the Baptist, and this is the prophecy of the angel.

“For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink, and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost even from his mother’s womb. And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.”

And it tells you right there, he shall turn the children of Israel to the Lord their God, they don’t even know Him.

“And he shall go before the Lord God of Israel in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the father’s to the children, even the disobedient to the wisdom of the just.”

And the word ‘disobedient’ means ‘an ignorant people that don’t know what it means’. To the wisdom of the just, that means ‘God will reveal it through a prophet.’

And what does it say? “To make ready a people already prepared for the Lord” They’re already His vessels, but they’re not ready to meet Him.

So therefore, Brother Branham comes on the scene to make the elect Bride ready. How does he do it? Exactly like John the Baptist. Points them to Jesus Christ, and like Moses, he’s vindicated.

Listen! You got to go right down the line with Elijah and get all these types in there and you’ll see the whole truth.

[73-2]  Now, notice, what happened to Eve’s children? The first one… born… Now if God said, “Multiply (to his bride, Adam’s bride) and replenish–multiply and replenish the earth,” that was God’s commission; and she would’ve done it, and he… wouldn’t…? themselves together. But what happened? When Adam got ready to come to her, she was already a mother. See what I mean?

Now what Brother Branham is doing here, he’s putting God in on the commandment. This is where they got all haywire. They went ahead. They didn’t listen.

And had they listened, the children could have been born properly. There never would have been all this serpent seed.

They would have lived out their lives until the time of the immortality which would have taken them to a higher plain of sanctification, and on and on. But they blew it. But all right, God knew all about it.

It was… foreknown, and predestinated, in order that all the attributes of God would come out because as Irenaeus said it so perfectly, “God being a Savior, it was necessary to predestinate a man, a sinner, who would require salvation to give God the reason and purpose of being.”

See what I mean? See, God wasn’t in it. God was in His Word and in the command, but not how they did it and at what time they did it.

There’s a timing for all these things. That’s why people can’t let go of sex. They don’t care about the timing of the woman’s nature, any more, forget it.

Even the Bible, the woman’s cleansing, if the man comes with a woman after a cleansing, she’s ideal to get pregnant. People think that’s a means of birth control. You better watch your cycles and find out.

See, they can’t disobey the command of God. “Be fruitful and multiply.” I don’t care if it was done wrong.

I don’t care how it is, those children will be born, God will bring them through and take them right to the New Jerusalem.

Don’t you get fussing about God and worrying about God. You just worry about one thing, “Am I believing? Am I listening to the prophet?”

[73-2]  See when Adam got ready to come to her, she was already a mother. [See, she blew the whole thing.]

[73-3]  Now, the same thing has happened to Christ’s church, Christ’s bride. Now, we’re going back farther than that in a minute. Notice, in this bride, what did she do then?

Her first child come forth; it was a bastard child, …full of death and caused death. [He killed his brother.] And everyone since then is death. Now, you see it had to be sex. Why do you die if it wasn’t sex?

Now that’s the truth because he’s telling you something. You’re supposed to bring forth life, but these kids are dying. So something is wrong with the sex; can’t be wrong with the people. They’re commissioned, they’re fully fortified, they’re able, everything is there to do it, and keep on living.

Can’t you understand what he’s saying here? The act itself was done wrong. And this threw the whole circuitry and everything plumb out, because they’ve brought in the hybridization.

And it had a backfire effect, until you see little kids right today, you can’t… I’ll bring the film if I remember, and show it right here in the church, seventy-nine little kids, we see the girl in Chicago, there’s no way that girl has HIV but she’s got it. What’s happening now with the Indians out West?

And even back East, some people? They’re dying; their breath is being choked out, about twenty people dead, they’re calling in… the witch… not the witchdoctors, but the shamans, shamans, the medicine men.

Maybe that’s the thing that Joe had on Friday night. Thought it was something else. Fellow died in North Carolina. See, nobody can even find out people are dying.

What did it? They weren’t meant to die. In other words, there was the Word there of life, and what happened? They crossed It up by changing It. He said, “Don’t you dare add and don’t you take.”

That’s what was said in Moses, that’s the same thing that happened back in the Garden, they changed It. You don’t find God giving a new Word at any time. He merely elaborates, explains It more thoroughly, so you get It better.

[73-2]  Why would you die, if it wasn’t sex?

That’s the truth because that was supposed to do it. Now they’re dying in the multiplication, so there’s something wrong with it. Not that it’s a dirty thing; it’s just they messed up on it.

[73-2]  When God gives a commission which… When God give a commission which cannot perish… God’s Word’s Eternal. It cannot fail. When He said, “Multiply and replenish the earth,” that was God’s eternal purpose.

To carry it out you cannot die, because it’s His Word. You have to live. And if that child would’ve… been brought forth right, there would have been no death; but she couldn’t wait. See?

Romans 7, just a little bit of reading here. I’m not saying this is perfect with the Scripture but with this, but let’s look at it a minute.

The same thing now says, you go right ahead here, it says, sexual, it said bringing forth in birth is all right. There’s got to be something wrong that it didn’t come forth.

It tells you right there, it was a commandment for life, but this thing in her being a by-product and what she was, she was seduced by Satan, and so she blew it. It became death. Tells you right there.

You say, “Well, I don’t think it does.” Well, fine and dandy, I think it does. I think my exegesis is completely perfect with the Word.

Wasn’t there a command for life? Then why wasn’t it life? Blew it! Something was in Eve. Satan tricked her. See. Couldn’t wait.

[73-4]  That’s what’s the matter today. You want some kind of a phony makeup with screaming, jumping, speaking in tongues, or something, instead of waiting for the real Word of God to be made manifest… [in the Bible.]

That’s what happened. Oh, jumping up and down, THUS SAITH THE LORD, and this means that and the other thing, and women can preach, and wear this and men can do that and do this. All a bunch of fat-headed liars.

The kind that takes the Word of God is God’s true Bride, bringing forth children. They can’t die. A child the Bride brings forth on the Word cannot die, because It’s the Word. Amen. Do you get it?

And that’s true; they don’t die. Only the second death gets them, they just go on to the place where they’re going to live forever and ever in a different frame. They don’t die. They just pass on to this body. What are you talking about?

That child can’t die because he’s a Word child; he’s a seed [See?] …seed child; he’s an eternal child. Hallelujah. 

[74-1]  That’s exactly what Christ was–a spoken eternal Child. Didn’t have to die, but He did it in order to pay the debt. That’s the only way it could be paid. Nobody else could do it; they were all… born… they were all sexual born after the devil, his plan. You got it now?

Now this is very correct. So we see again that the command given Adam and Eve could not have been followed correctly. You see? Something was wrong. Didn’t follow the plan.

In other words, they didn’t stay within the framework of the Word of God. You got to stay within the framework; you just can’t put it here and put it there. See? Something was wrong.

What time we got? Five minutes. Okay. We’re going to put a little mark here for Sunday and let it go at that, maybe a little back tracking on that to catch us up.

I hope you begin to see some of these things that Brother Branham is bringing here and if you’re spiritual minded, and everyone of us is being born again, we can either go to the Word of God and see It for ourselves, or have somebody else show us and we will see It.

Now that’s what a five-fold ministry is all about. I know you got those who don’t believe in a five-fold ministry, and I know Brother Branham before he died, told Sam Connelly.

And Sam told different men, Brother Branham said, “Brother Sam, there aren’t that many [holding up five fingers] of true five-fold ministers.”

Now you can say what you want. You say, “Well, did anybody…” Gene will say, “Did anybody hear Brother Branham say it or is it on a tape?”

But Brother Branham did tell me emphatically and I’m telling you again, he said, “Lee, you and I are just alike.”

And I said, “Brother Branham, what do you mean by that?”

And he said, “Well, Lee, I got a little gift of healing nobody wants and you got a little gift of teaching and nobody wants it.”

Now, how little it was, is very true, it’s very, very little, I admit that. And the nobody wants it, is almost an exaggeration. It’s hard to find anybody. Now if he had a real gift of healing, I believe I got a real gift of teaching.

And I haven’t lied to you for one minute, not trying to make merchandise of you. In fact, I’ve been made merchandise of. We had a preacher come right here, and he did here what he couldn’t do down south because nobody there to do it to.

So I have to stand up and pay his bills and everything else. Now they’ve left because they say, “They don’t believe our doctrine.” That’s fine, that’s true. My doctrine says, “Thou shalt not steal.”

I’m just laying things out and telling you flat. I’ve tried to stand here as a servant of God. I don’t know how much longer I can do it or what it’s all going to entail. But I’ve never lied to you and I have no profit in lying. Nothing to lie about, nothing to lie for.

And I believe this Word of God comes to me from Brother Branham a hundred percent, take it right back and forth the Word and show you things, that you need to know. Now if you think that is boasting to some, that’s fine by me, because hey, I don’t even need an audience.

I told you, I need my wife’s chandelier, she can sit there, preach to the chandelier. You all follow what I’m saying? It’s exactly true. No boasting. No nothing. Just telling you straight simple facts.

I’ve been in the hands of God and know what I mean to say it. My times are in His hands without a doubt. So why aren’t you doing so and so? I’m doing what I’m supposed to be doing.

See, it’s always this confusion, “Why aren’t you doing something else? Why aren’t you so and so?”

Why that’s what they said about Brother Branham, they said about Jesus Christ, and if you’ve got any brains tonight, you will know they’re saying about every single one of you sitting here, “When are you going to smarten up?” Forgive me, if I sound hard, I don’t mean that as a bad way.

I only mean to say, “Are you listening?” And are you getting the understanding? You are despised and rejected. You ain’t nothing from nowhere. They look down their noses; just mention my name and watch what happens. Yeah. Well, good luck.

Let’s rise and be dismissed. I don’t find it bad at all to tell you the truth. If this is the squeeze and everything else, as I say again, “Give me a thousand years and good health,” we can take it.

Let’s pray.

Heavenly Father, we love You tonight, and we know we do. We’ve seen that by Scripture. We don’t have to doubt anymore.

Because we know positively, that You are God, the God of William Branham; the One that answered back, that he talked to, You talked to him, was manifested, Your picture taken, the Pillar of Fire, and the things that You did and are doing now Lord, all we can say is, “Oh God, we are so weak in faith and we are so pitiful in this hour, except for You.”

Help us Lord, to never even try to add anything at all, but just stand amazed in the Presence, Your Presence, with respect that You are God and we believe You and in there we love and we have nobody else but You, that we can honestly say, as You came to Moses, said, “I’m the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”

And You appeared on Mount… there with Elijah of old, and showed You were the God of Elijah, You were that One, the same One that was, therefore, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and Moses.

And the same One proved Himself to the apostle Paul when he was ignorant and far from truth and even no doubt had contributed in someway by his unbelief and all, to the death of Jesus Christ, crucified Him and then Stephen’s death.

We see that Lord, now we see in our end time the prophet stand up and say, “The same One that came to Paul in the Pillar of Fire there in the desert of Arabia, spoke and gave the Word is here revealing It.” And we see that as this book as Brother Branham said.

And Lord, tonight we’re not going to try to lie to You and lie to the people, at least we know we can’t lie to You. We could lie to the people as we pray, but we’re not going to do that.

We know one thing, we know Lord, this has got to be true whether we really believe it or not, we… know that this It and how rich, and how deep and how pervasive and how sold out and how wonderful It pulsates within our very being to the extent that we live and breathe and emanate It and everything is It.

I can’t say that Lord. All I know is when I’m up here, I teach and I go back and forth and I show these things.

And if it’s only a mechanical thing and it’s not really real as It ought to be, I’m still satisfied that I’m standing on holy ground in this respect, that I’m seeing this.

And Lord, what You do with that Word in me, I trust it’s not up to me under any consideration but it’s up to You to quicken It and make It such as even as Brother Branham said to even receive It.

And I believe that’s to countenance It, to look at It, and say, “Yes, I can take that over anything else. I believe that. That’s mine. That’s what I’m looking at.”

I believe that becomes, makes us the Word of God in our flesh and we’re waiting for the transfiguration, those things that take place.

Lord, far be it for me to lie to You or lie to this people to make anybody think that I am so into this to such and such a depth that I’ve come up to the prophet’s stature.

I haven’t come up to anything, Lord, even to his toenail, in this respect Lord, as far as I know, and yet in there Lord, I believe is that portion that is vital to me and what I am doing, and to the people here, Lord, and I can stand on that, I believe, and that portion whatever You have designed and given Lord, and I just take it and bring that and then I’m satisfied with that Lord.

And I believe the people here are of the same mind, in the same frame to be thinking in that particular way, I trust it is, oh God. And I trust by that we’ll come Lord, to the… safety, the refuge, of… the hollow of Your hand, the hiding in the Rock.

Now beside the still waters, partaking of the spiritual food in due season, growing up. Knowing Lord, that goodness and mercy follows us, even as he passes through troubled times, the valley of the shadow of death, we’ll come out on the other side in the pure sunshine of God, even standing here, not waiting for death and a Resurrection.

Knowing the mercy and goodness of God, knowing these things Lord, knowing Your sweetness, Your wonderment, and how You’ve showed us things, Lord, in a way that… how can we say anything, but what Lord, it’s You, it’s You.

You’re the God of William Branham, the God of Paul, the same God of the Lord Jesus Christ, the One that came and indwelt Him, the same One of Elijah, Samuel, Moses, right down there.

The One that walked in the cool of the evening in the Garden of Eden, making way now for the Tree of Life. These things Lord, what else can we say? This is it. This is the depth of a calling.

This is the moving, the energy, the life, this is everything, and Father, we just thank You for It and look forward Lord, to that… Ezekiel’s river, Lord, flowing from the Eastern Gate.

Waters no longer to the ankles, to the knee, to the hips, waters not just to swim in, but waters to carry us over Lord. I believe that, somehow that’s… that’s the way it is. It’s got to be.

Thus we can say with Brother Branham as never before with an understanding and meaning in our hearts, “If we’re not Bride, there is a Bride out there somewhere, there’s got to be something out there, and by the grace of God, yes, by your grace, Lord, we won’t stand in her way.”

And by Your same grace Lord, putting everything behind us, moving with an eye single to glory Lord, not worrying anymore as we toil up the hill, even if it’s Calvary Hill, going later to Mount Zion Lord, looking at the snakes, not worrying about popping them any longer, not worrying about this one, that one, but just going on Lord, and the triumphant which is in Christ, not in ourselves.

Now unto the King Eternal, Immortal, Invisible, the only wise God be all power, honor and glory, through Jesus Christ our Savior, Amen.

‘Take the Name of Jesus with you.’
