Why Is He Here #6A (Continuation)

Transcript in progress.

Audio is available now.

Heavenly Father, we’re grateful again that you’re in our presence, and we’re in Your Presence, Lord, that it is that which has been ordained, and we are glad that we’re able to see this day.

Back in Your day You said, “Many men looked forward to that day, the prophets did, that prophesied until John and they would have been happy to see that day;” and we believe they did in the Resurrection, and now, Lord, again there is a people is very happy to see this day.

And it’s going to bring about a Resurrection, all that look forward to it, mostly in the grave will come forth and be a part of it. And we’re very, very happy for that.

We cannot thank You enough that You made us aware of it and showed us that we’re a part of it, and we put all this grace back on You, Lord, because You alone have done it, You alone are worthy.

It is nothing of ourselves, we say, “As nothing in our hands we bring, simply to the cross we cling. Rock of ages, cleft for us,” tonight.

There’s nothing of ourselves but You. We’re so happy for that, Lord. We’re tremendously grateful and appreciative.

Now help us with the study of Your Word that Your Name might be glorified in Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.

You may be seated.

Now last Sunday, that is we were going along in our subject matter on message number, six… What are we, C or something like that? Let me see if I can find where we were.

Okay, we’re back on the number six A, yeah. And this would be a continuation of 6A and we’re to the place where in our conclusion last Sunday message we were about to begin placing the Judge’s relationship to the Bride, and to all others in this particular hour.

And we have to do that because Genesis 18:17-25 and 32 are a repeat, that is rather to say they’re a type of what is happening in this day.

So, we’ll just go back to Genesis 18:17 beginning,

Now you’ll notice that Amos is very consistent with this. You know that when the Lord is going to do something secret well, He… He… you know, doesn’t mean that a secret in the sense that, you know this is a big secret of me and you’ve got to try to pry it out.

That… that word, I suppose really, it’s maybe a, kind of a poor translation to what it really is because it doesn’t mean that, that way.

What it means is that it is something that is to be made known but hasn’t been revealed and won’t be revealed until the hour that it’s supposed to transpire, and the prophet is there in order to know it and then he tells us.

And this, of course, is where so many people especially the Pentecostal faith and let’s face it, it’s all over the world, they are so proud that they’re sure God would show them and He wouldn’t need a prophet. It’s the same old… you know, you know, it’s like.

“Brother Vayle, I know you’re a nice guy and I just love you;” and all the time their hand is in my right hip pocket taking my money out, or their right arm is around me with a dagger to get me in the fifth rib.

Oh come on, look, now listen, that’s how they are.

Well, we’re, thank God, we’re… listen, thank God we’re not of that class, and I don’t mean to say that we’re standing here like a bunch of Pharisees and say, “Lord, look at that lousy publican and that poor old woman of the streets, I’m glad I’m not like her.”

Listen, I’m talking about not being spiritually blind, and I’m glad I’m not spiritually bind. I’m glad that I can… I can… I can afford a prophet.

See, I’m going to tell you something, let’s understand this, I’ll get to preaching later on, don’t worry, talk about the message, but you know every week I learn something. I get phone calls. I get letters.

And I want to tell you, the gates of hell are really risen up. But I’m going to tell you, we are smarter than all the gates of hell combined for we have the wisdom of Jesus Christ.

Oh, they rise up and they try to make this doctrine the Presence some far out thing, something that’s not of God. Let me tell you, now let’s get this straight, if you believe in a prophet, you’ve got to believe in God’s Presence.

The very men that say they believe in William Branham are liars and I proclaim it, and I’ll come against the gates of hell because that’s not just my privilege, it’s my reasonable sacrifice.

To deprecate the Presence of God, to say He’s not here is to deny a prophet because there is no prophet outside of God.

“Should I show Abraham the thing I’m going to do?” Certainly, certainly, that’s God. “Oh Lord, You’re so obscure hiding up there in the clouds.”

Yeah, but suddenly they don’t need a prophet. No wonder Jesus said the damnation of hell awaited the scribes and the Pharisees, who under their very noses saw the kingdom of God and denied it.

Yeah, they’re doing the same today. Well anyway, we’re having a good time.

I see my good buddy Greg walked in at the wrong time, he got me slugging away at these guys, he wonders why I’m slugging at anybody here; slugging nobody here.

They’re way out there in the boondocks, a million miles from God and they’re trying to act as though they believe a prophet and there can be no prophet of the stature of William Branham or a Paul or an Elijah or a Moses and not God right there.

Let’s read it.

The Anointed Ones At the End Time  65-0725M

[269]  …you that listen to this tape. You might have thought today…I was trying to say that about myself, being…I was packing this Message. I [have] no more to do with It than nothing, no more than just a voice. And, my voice, even against my better judgment; I wanted to be a trapper. But it’s the will of my Father that I declare to do, and determined to do.

I wasn’t the One that appeared down on the river; I was only one standing there when He appeared.

Then they… then they laugh at the Presence, and they think it’s a false doctrine, they sneer and they call it ridiculous, and they say they believe in William Branham, they’re liars.

Come on, let’s face it, the gloves are off. See, you understand more and more my stand in this message, the gloves are off.

Don’t come around me with a hypocritical, dulcet tones of the serpent, who with one hand offer a sacrifice to God and the other hand club a man down in death. Yeah, makes you think, doesn’t it? Get ready for it, the squeeze is coming on.

“Yeah, shall I hide from my prophet Abraham, mine elect, the thing which I do. Seeing Abraham shall become a great and mighty nation and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him, for I know him he’ll command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord to do justice and judgment. That the Lord may bring upon Abraham that thing which He has spoken of him.”

Well, He said, “I’m going to tell you something,” He said, “I’m not wasting my time with some kind of an ignoramus, a fool. I know Abraham.”

Foreknowledge and predestination. He knows you’re not going to fail. You may bite the bullet, but you’ll make it.

[Brother Vayle sings.]

Oh, how I love Jesus, (sing it,)

Oh, how I love Jesus,

Oh, how I love Jesus, because He first loved me.

And I’ll never forsake Him, I’ll never forsake Him,

I’ll never forsake Him, because He first loved me.

Sure, He foreknew. He knew we were going to sing this song. He knew we were going to get blessed. He knew of my creaky joints if they weren’t so creaky I’d do a Neilson Guy, jump over the pulpit. Only what for?

Better I should praise Him and my heart go out in love to Him, and rejoice in Him who is wonderful. Why He knew! How did He know? Because the Foreknower is the Predestinator, oh, bless God forevermore.

Now, the Lord said, He knew Abraham was going to be what God had spoken of him to be. See?

You get the picture? Foreknowledge, predestination, Logos, thought, Word, thought expressed, a man being the thoughts of God, being the attributes of God, Abraham. And we’re the same as Abraham, there is no difference.

I’m going to tell you something flat. My big toe has the same nourishment the hairs on my head have, the same as my heart, the same as my eyeball, the same nourishment.

See, the body is all one. He knows every single one of us; the hairs of our head are numbered. He knew every one of us.

Now he said,

Now, here’s one fellow here walking in the foreknowledge and predestinating power of God, and God said, “Hey, everything is just right. He’s going to go click, click, click, down the line but I better see these bunch of renegades that got everything all mixed up down here.”

These Sodomites, these Cainites, these Canaanites. He said, “I’m going to go down and look it over.”

He doesn’t have to look us over. We’ve done been looked over.

He’s not going to look at us as though he’s going to choose the apples out and say, “Hey, let’s see if there’s some good ones here, the bad ones here.”

He said, “Hey, them’s all good apples, I know Abraham and his seed,” He said, “by My foreknowledge and My predestinating power,” He said, “there it is.”

He said, “I’ll lose none.”

He said, “But this other bunch I’ll go down and take a look at.”

Well,

Now we’ve got to be very careful here to see the spiritual revelation of astronomical proportions that is here now in this hour that we view in this reading, something going on now.

The 18th chapter, 13 and 14th verses.

Now notice, at the appointed time I will return. Genesis 21:1-4 describes it.

Notice, the speaking and the performance, especially the performance of the speaking was done by visitation of God.

Now first of all, we can set up a type here that is exactly Acts 3:19b-21. So, let’s go back.

We’ll read it because although you know it the same as I do; we can’t let our memories fool us.

That’s far enough. Now, we can make our type lining up with Acts 3:19b-21, the appearing of Elohim, and then the return of our Lord Jesus Christ because that’s what you see: appearing of the Lord and the literal coming or return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

That perfectly types which is God in the form of the Spirit, then God in the form of human flesh on earth.

That would be, Genesis 18: and then chapter 21, where it tells you the promise of the hour is the Son in flesh, then the son comes in flesh in Genesis 21:.

Now Abraham and Sarah here in chapter 21 are changed, which prefigures the Resurrection.

But I see another type here that is fully justified because Brother Branham said, “The church, the shape it is in, the mess it is in could not possibly bring him, Jesus the Christ forth or back in the flesh, only the Bride can do that.”

She is responsible, therefore, indirectly, but by provision of God to bring this Resurrection and the return of Christ. Now she won’t do it of her own self.

So watch, on June 11, 1933 Elohim Appears, the Pillar of Fire in the form of a rainbow came down and was seen by many, many people designating that a prophet is in the land. God in prophet, prophet in God; they are inseparable.

Then in 1946 the Angel sends out the prophet to fulfil Acts 3:19 which is the great healing revival. Then follows the Word restored as in verse 21. And this takes us right to Revelation 10:1 which is the mighty messenger come down with a rainbow.

He is Appearing which He did Appear, and is the same one of… on June 11th, 1933 but now in Revelation 10:1 He Appears with seven mighty angels to be revealed to us signifying that perfection has come. That which is perfect is come which is God which is revealed Word.

So, Revelation 10:1, the mighty messenger coming down. Revelation 5:1, the one with the book in his hand. Revelation 1:12, the one that was standing there as a Judge. And Revelation 22:10-20.

Now let’s take a look at Revelation 22:10-20. So, Revelation 10:1 is Revelation 5:1 is Revelation 1:12 is Revelation 22:10-20. We don’t have to read it all.

Now watch the unsealed book, now watch carefully. And he said unto me, “Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.”

Now what is unsealed and therefore, also consummated? Because you cannot have an unsealing without going into a consummation.

Now the unsealing is not leading us per se, to that which is future and eternal though it is. It is basically a consummation which consummation has to come because everything’s got to die before life comes forth.

So, this has got to die. It’s all down here. That’s consummation. So, the Seals have a consummation.

Now watch!

Now on the one hand it is consummation in a certain direction ends up in the lake of fire. The other is a consummation of a life that cannot be repeated but spins off into eternity. One is destruction, one is life.

Now you notice, you’ve got the same thing here but in a reversed order. Up there he that is unjust is unjust still; he that is filthy is filthy still; righteous, righteous still. Over here it’s the righteous, then the filthy. Without are dogs and so on.

Now he’s telling them that I am the One that was there all through the church ages in the form of the Spirit, and at the end time I am appearing in the form of the Spirit, then appearing in the form of flesh again.

Now that’s at this time, there is still a message going out, there is still the opportunity for people to come in, there is still the Holy Spirit anointed Word but with it the warning, “This time you won’t get away with changing it!”

Now they got away with it the first church age, second church age, third church age, fourth church age, fifth church age, sixth church age, seventh church age, no dice. Because that’s Hebrews 6.

When the prophet goes forth with the Word of God to sow It for the last time, and that’s the message of the Kingdom that goes around the world because the kingdom is here; it’s finished. See? All right.

Now,

The Seventh Seal 63-0324e on page 567.

[326]  It may be the hour now, that this great person that we’re expecting to rise on the scene may rise on the scene.

[327]  Maybe this ministry that I have tried to take to the people back to the Word has laid a foundation; and if it has, I’ll be leaving you for good. There won’t be two of us here at the same time. If it is, he’ll increase, [and] I’ll decrease.

All right. You’ll notice in there we have a second visitation so to speak, just like God said, “All right, I’m here visiting you, I’m plainly visible, I’m amongst you, and Sarah’s going to have a child. Now I’ll tell you what she’s not ready for it yet but there’s going to be a time when I’m going to visit again, that child’s going to come forth.”

In other words, that’s what’s going to bring it forth. Do you follow what I’m saying? Okay.

All right. His ministry that Brother Branham had by the Holy Spirit, Elohim coming down was restoration.

We know that the Bride fell by reason of false doctrine of false revelation of the true Word, where 2 Corinthians 11: said, “She will have another Jesus, another spirit, another word.”

And if you get that far in debt you’re washed out. You might as well declare bankruptcy because you’ve had it.

Today that is all over because she is a virgin restored by the revealed Word because if it was a wrong Jesus, a wrong gospel, a wrong spirit that got her there and today she has a right Spirit, a right Jesus, a right Word, then she’s a virgin again. See? All right.

Today it is all over, she is a virgin. She of this last and final age and she who is, that’s the same Bride, who’s about two thousand years old because that’s… we’re in the two thousandth year is returned to the same identity of her in the first age at the time of Paul when Paul said,   “I have espoused you as a virgin to Christ.”

In other words, she was betrothed to Christ in a virgin condition which was right Jesus, right Spirit, right Word.

But notice, Sarah was also young and she and Abraham were now in the mechanics of reproduction. You know that’s how… that’s how far her faith took her to, when God said, “This time she’s going to have a son.”

She said, “Shall me and my lord have sexual pleasure again?” She was well aware that mechanics, that sexual intercourse does not always beget. It is the mechanics but if life is not there, or life is hindered there is no life forthcoming. All the mechanics you want, won’t work.

She still did not get pregnant in the condition she was in and he was in of being turned back to their youthful days. It took a second visitation to her personally and Abraham, so that the true seed of Abraham could now develop and come forth in flesh from her virgin and now awakened womb.

See, she had a virgin womb. There’s no life in it. It had to be awakened. The womb of the Bride is the mind. Elohim is here and has quickened the Word to her so that the dead will soon come forth on this earth.

The Bride, the body of Christ, which is God in human flesh of the Bride is now ready to come forth on this earth. Her spiritual resurrection has already taken place. It is time for the physical.

See, now we do not get changed back to a youthful body except through that visitation of God Himself quickening the Word in us to bring that body forth, because the cells must form around a life and it’s a new life that it forms around. It’s a life of the Word. You see? All right.

This is what is going on now and that’s what is going to bring forth Christ. In other words, make each one of us immortal just like Christ and we shall be exactly like Him except for our original placement.

His original placement was that He was the complete Logos and He came forth in a way through the womb of Mary that brought him here and yet He Himself had to be changed.

Now when we go through these processes we’re going to be identical to Him but our position will be different. The Bible says we’ll be just like Him. All right.

This is going on now. We are virgins. Oh, there are lots of virgins. That make you think, you don’t… I’m not going to say too much. We are virgins.

Oh, there are lots of virgins but only a few have that oil, that Life that takes them and produces the Wedding Supper. See? Oh, there’s lots of virgins.

Brother Branham said, “I hear there’s ten thousand believe this Message. I’ve got to shake them off.” I understand there’s about a quarter million now. I don’t know.

Now this is what I see, and when I see that, I see Matthew 25:1-13.

Now what I’m telling you is that I see that God Himself must deal with this group of people who are all virgins of the Word but this is why Brother Branham preached ‘The Token.’

There were too many who sat there without the Holy Spirit as they’re sitting all through messages without the Holy Spirit, and no effort to seek Him which can only come by repentance which is a complete change of mind.

Water baptism in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ in faith and God does the rest.

Now,

Now listen! This is before Sodom and Gomorrah was finished, kaput, burnt.

Do you follow what I’m saying? It’s a repeat. As it was in the days of Abraham, Sodom and Gomorrah, before it was burnt. God dealing with the election.

Now down here in Sodom is righteous Lot. You say, “I don’t think he’s very righteous.” That’s none of your business.

Brother Branham said, “Maybe Lot was only a copper, a penny and Abraham was a silver dollar. Well,” he said, “there’s lots of room for a penny, as well as a silver dollar.” Okay.

Here we are, this certain period like virgins took their lamps went forth to meet the Bridegroom. Abraham stood there and said, “There’s God, going to go meet Him.” All right.

Five had oil in their lamps and five didn’t. All right, back in Abraham’s day there was Abraham, number one; Sarah was part of him so she doesn’t count.

Down there was Lot and he had a wife and two daughters and they didn’t count because you’re dealing with headships, you’re dealing with types. All right.

Who had the oil? You sure better believe that Lot didn’t; he couldn’t even recognize angels. He couldn’t recognize messengers.

Now if you can’t recognize the messenger; how are you going to recognize God? That’s why I said a while ago, these people who try to tell you and deny the Presence and say they believe in William Branham. They’ve got to be liars.

Now I don’t mean they’re liars because they want to be liars or they’re deliberately lying but something is wrong somewhere; they’ve been deceived because you can’t have a prophet without God or you’re idiots. Idiots! Because it takes God. Bamboozled by some pope or something.

Listen, let’s get the glory back on God. Let’s face it, we’ve got to face the judgment, let’s face it as men and women that’s got some kind of spiritual guts. Not a honkytonk backbone. See? I’m serious, dead serious because she’s closing in. Let her close.

I rebuked one guy last night, and I’ll rebuke two more tonight if they phone me. I don’t suppose they will. You don’t make William Branham and God fools.

See, the Word didn’t contain oil. No life. You can sit under this message like Brother Branham preached.

You say, “Why are you hitting, The Token?” Because I just read part of it before supper. And I understand exactly why I read it. My hand fell on it.

You can say, “Oh, William Branham, prophet. Oh William Branham this. Oh, Word of God this. Oh, Word of God, that.” And die! See?

The life has got to be in this Word, too. Lot knew the same God Abraham knew, all these things but he wasn’t in the elect.

Now you’ve got foolish virgin here, and you’ve got the rest outside, the other ones in between us, I call them.

Now they didn’t have the light in the Word, that’s why denominations are full of foolish virgins. Good Lutherans, saved Lutherans, saved Methodists, saved Pentecostals but they’re not born again. See? It won’t work.

No life. The life has gone out of the Word, their word. The life is in this Word. And you don’t just believe and say, I believe in a prophet. Oh, won’t believe in a prophet and then turn down Almighty God.

Somebody’s sick, sick, sick, sick; the dog has returned to the vomit. Encrusted with the pride of iniquity.

Now we’ve got a prophet. So who needs God? The rest say, “We’ve got God. Who needs a prophet?” These guys say, “We’ve got a prophet, who needs God?”

I got news for you, if you haven’t got the prophet, you haven’t got God. Now if you’ve got the prophet, you have got God. If you have God, you have got the prophet. You can’t separate them. Somebody’s sick.

Now you can see this Word coming together more and more since we started here in August, three months, and understand why the things are being said.

I don’t know at time myself why I say certain things. All I know is that I say them because they’re real, they’re true. It’s God’s Holy Word. Now they come up glaring like seventeen foot figures on billboards, thirty feet high with floodlights on them. See?

Now, so they have to go some… they have to go somewhere. Yes, they’ve got to run. I’ve told you. They can’t stand still for the first Resurrection and here’s why.

They go to try to get something because there’s no life in the Word. We have Brother Branham’s message. There’s not necessarily any life in it. Not necessarily. That’s the mechanics that came forth first. The dynamics have got to hit it before It’s living Word. See?

“Let there be light,” was a Word, but when light came was no longer a word, it’s a reality. So with this. Not just a word, if It begins to live. Yeah.

Oh, they’ll take every excuse they have to get away from It.

Like one fellow will say, “Well, do you have to go to the Greek? Couldn’t you preach it from what Brother Branham said?”

I said, “It’s exactly why I went to the Greek because I saw what he was saying.” Same as Brother Branham did.

Do you realize that if they understood a word we’re teaching here that there would not have been a deity cult? There would not have been a person like Bobby Lambert that had to kill him, I don’t know who.

It was no loss to anybody that’s a Bride. Let’s be honest. He was seducing people, saying nobody had the Holy Ghost. You wouldn’t have had this Thunder stuff, that there’s no capstone.

The capstone is here. They went out to see Him. They never saw Him. Yeah, there’s nothing in the Word. The Word was gone.

Oh, Luther screamed, “He’s going to come. He’s going to come. He’s going to appear. He’s going to come.”

And He Appears and they say, “What are you talking about out there? What are you talking about out there?”

And the Methodists and the Pentecostals; they got nowhere. They couldn’t see Him. All the time trying to get oil, made no use. You can’t get that oil with that Word back there. The life has gone out of It. I’ll tell you what you’ll do.

You try to grasp a living limb on a dead tree: it won’t work. You can’t put new wine in old bottles: it smashes them. You can’t put a new patch on an old garment: it rips it to pieces.

They want their word anointed to bring forth the Resurrection. It won’t work. There’s no life in it. There’s only one Word of the hour of the Resurrection and that’s the Word that precedes the Resurrection. Pentecost doesn’t have it. Methodists, Lutherans, Catholics: none of them have it.

The hour of the Resurrection is God Himself raises the dead, so the Word of the hour has got to be God Himself like it’s been in every age. God in every single age. Now here He is.

Now,

Who was ready? Those in whom was the living Word. See, the rest don’t get changed. You can’t go to the Wedding Supper without a garment, without being immortalized.

You know you can’t… you can’t go to that Wedding Supper, no way shape and form. You’ve got to be changed. You’ve got to be changed right here on earth.

And when the Bride is changed and standing here they’re going to be saying, “Lord, let us in. We want to come in and get saved. Want to get full of the Holy Ghost. We want to make everything right.” He said, “It’s done too late.”

You missed it. Because you’ve got the Holy Ghost you’re going to be at the Wedding Supper, don’t let anybody ever kid you. You’re sealed in and God does the rest.

Now he said,

You have no idea; he said, “When this is going to take place it’s all over.”

And what’s he talking about? He’s talking about the beholding and the going to meet with Him. Then it’s after you go to the Wedding Supper.

Everybody’s got it figured out you get changed here and then you go to the Wedding Supper and there you meet Him. I’ve got news for you: it doesn’t say that.

It says, “First you come out of Babylon. Then you consort with Him. You behold Him. You sup with Him. You watch Him. You leave your creeds and denominations alone.”

In that hour He changes you, then in that hour of the Resurrection nobody can get saved. You’re speaking to the entirely lost.

Nobody can come in: it’s all over and the Bride’s gone up to meet Him in the air. See? Bible does not say the way people preach it.

Now, here’s there’s only five quickened with the quickened Word, the garments that go in. And notice, in Matthew 25:12 there’s a Judge, he said,

Which is in the vernacular, “I used to know you as my wife. I don’t know you as my wife anymore.” Espoused virgins but no life in the Word: gone on.

Oh, a lot of people say they believe this message. Anybody can say they believe this message, nothing to that. Fap, anybody can do that. I could even say I’m the Prince of Wales.

Now if you want to say, w-h-a-l-e-s, that still doesn’t do any good because I’m too thin for that. I could say I’m the prince of kooks or something, that’s a little bit closer.

All right. Now, with this we go to,

Now what you see here is what ever this is, is the definitive work and sovereign domain of God the Holy Spirit that does this if anything’s going to be done.

Now watch!

Now that’s in Revelation, chapter 5. So Zechariah, chapter 4 goes all the way back to the end time where Christ is revealed as Judge.

Now watch! 9 and 10.

All right. The man with the plummet is the carpenter who is plumbing up the building.

Now the building hasn’t been plumbed for a long time because the building has to go in block by block by the Word of Almighty God. Now when you take a plummet and you’re going to measure this you’ve got to go to the altitude.

In other words, you’ve got to go up. Now you drop that plummet, that plumb line, the gravity will pull it right down and if it doesn’t hit a building or something it’s going to be in the perpendicular.

So, all right. The church has got to get squared up at the end time which is restoration.

Now compare this with,

Brought back with shoutings of grace, grace. Then he mentions the hand of Zerubbabel laid the foundation. His hands will finish it. All right. In other words, Alpha and Omega.

Now, this One here, face as it were the sun, feet as pillars of fire, and the feet are on land and sea. In other words, the original foundation is back on earth. See?

Now, if you’re going to make a plummet to see if that pyramid’s right, you’ve got to go from the headstone to the capstone… I mean, the capstone, not the headstone, the capstone, the headstone is the physical Jesus. You go from the capstone and drop your line right to the foundation.

Now you notice that the feet is the foundation and the head is the last story or the apex, the climax, the peak of the pyramid, that’s formed around this One who is that by whom are all things measured because God will judge this world in righteousness by one Christ Jesus.

So therefore, He Himself becomes the plummet or the measure of the church. Now I hope that gives you some inspiration, you’re thinking where you stand tonight.

The original foundation is back on earth, and with it the headship through grace He couldn’t come any other way. How could he come down here in the church in the mess it was in?

Every last having to die for sins, and the last ones in the worst mess than ever, and they’re supposed to be such the righteousness of God, He can stand amongst them and never die because the body is dead because of sin, and we’re the raunchiest ones of the whole bunch.

We’ve moved the furthest from the perpendicular. So what does He do? He comes down and He is the perpendicular.

Now you’ve gotten back the original foundation, you’ve got the man, the full stature, you’ve got Him standing right there, Holy Ghost Word.

Now original foundation is back on earth and with it the headship, the complete Holy and spirited Word, and the Head here surrounded by the living Bride to bring forth the others, the whole body of the Word is back. The feet have returned to the earth. See?

And with it the head, the whole thing. That which is perfect is come. See? So, now the body must follow the head out of the grave, because He came out of the grave and He is the head.

So now the body has got to follow the head out of the grave, and He is risen and descended and so must we be. That’s what you find in 1 Corinthians 15: on the Resurrection and the Rapture.

So, there he is a Judge of the whole inhabited earth in a final mediation of the Seventh Church Age because that’s exactly what He was in Abraham’s day.

A Sodom and Gomorrah condition and a Bride standing there. Not in that filth but surrounded by the filth, and not a part of the filth.

God coming to her, Appearing and then saying, “I’m going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. I’m going to destroy the world but I’m not going to destroy you. And you’re going to stand here in the process of what is going on. My Presence, and then I’m going to make a return to you.” See?

All right.

So He is here. The Judge of the whole inhabited earth. The Bride will not be destroyed, that’s according to Malachi 4:5-6, according to Malachi 4:1-3. The promise of destruction is there. See?

The promise of immortality is there. The promise of Elijah the prophet to turn the hearts back. The Son of man is Judge because the Son of man is here that’s what the Bible said because He is the Son of man judgement is committed unto him.

Then if the Son of man is here again there’s judgment. Now you see you could have crucified him once but you can’t do it anymore. You crucify to yourself.

What’s the crucifixion the world gets? I’ll tell you what, three and a half years tribulation of which Brother Branham said, “I would sooner have the oath of Columbus preformed on me than ten minutes of the great tribulation.”

Yeah, that’s what he said. All right.

The Son of man is Judge and he has promised,

Now he said, I’m going… I’m not going to let Abraham ignorant of what I’m about to do. And Abraham was a prophet.

Now if the Lord is about to descend that is a secret thing. Then there has got to be a prophet to tune us into it. So here’s your big secret.

Now God is going to bring forth Jesus, bring him right off the throne, bring him here at the Wedding Supper, we’re going to be right there with Him.

He’s going to bring the dead forth. He’s going to bring us up forth. He’s going to manifest it. For thus saith the Word of the Lord, Thus Saith the Lord that…

Now what presence? It tells you. It shall not take precedence or be preeminent over those that are asleep.

Now listen! They look at us and they say, “You people that believe in the Presence, you people that talk Parousia, who do you think you are?”

I said, “Nobody, because here’s the Word right here that says, his Presence doesn’t mean we’re anybody. It means that He is everybody.” And yet they’re the ones that worry about His pre-eminence.

The gates of hell. I want to tell you something, I’m going to pour the oil of the Holy Ghost on the gates of hell and watch it burn. I’m not talking about men now, I’m talking about doctrine.

The men get burned that’s their tough luck because I’ve got a job to the saints of God. God didn’t raise me up to be some booby hatch. See?

Of course, they believe He’s just comes down so far. Well, wonderful. Let me just prove it to you that if you believe that way you’re going to hell and you deserve to go to hell. And there’s no booby hatch to get you out of there.

Now listen, “He that ascended what is it but that he also descended,” it’s the same word. Are you going to say Jesus didn’t… that body,…that soul didn’t go down to the lower parts of the earth?

You just say that the soul didn’t go down to the lower parts of the earth because your understanding of ‘descend’ is to just sort of tiddlywink up here into space.

Then how’d the dead come out? How’d those in upper Sheol get out? Go ahead and spit in God’s face. Of course, I’m not talking to you people here, but these tapes get out. Let them get out.

I challenge you, if the prophet said, “The world’s gone crazy except for us.” When people are so stupid that I can stand on this piano and they say, “Brother Vayle is down on the floor.”

I’d say, “Kid, when did you get your eyes tested last or your brain,” because I wouldn’t be descended, I’d be up. Descend, ascend.

Now that shows where your pre-eminence is and my pre-eminence: we ain’t’ got none. We’re the last ones to go up. Last one changed, the last one’s up.

And we missed all the nice things in between where we could have been in that beautiful land of that sweet Spirit. So we ain’t nobody, but we got Somebody. Yes sir.

Now, this is in contradistinction, now this is the just judgment of God because He says, “This is my pronouncement at this time.” Now watch! The same space.

Now he tells you right there what we already know when the saints are gone, wrath comes, but we’re not appointed to wrath. We’re predestinated to be in that happy throng that is changed.

Even now He is Matthew 3:11-12. John looking down the ages.

That’s Malachi 4: That’s your Book of Revelation. That’s your parables. That’s Matthew 25:1-13. That’s the Judge. Why is He doing this? Because He is the Son of man and He has been revealed. Who is this Son of man?

Let’s go to Luke 19: Let’s read some Scripture on the Son of man.

Now He’s the Judge, because He came to seek and save that which was lost. The sheep He will put in His sheepfold: the goats He will turn out. He’s the Son of man. It gives Him every right. Look around some more.

Matthew 9:

Brother Branham turned and he said to man, he said, “You’re sick. You’re so-and-so and so-and-so.” But he said in Topeka, Kanas in ’64. He said, “You’ve been backslidden.” He said, “Your sins are forgiven.”

And the people rose up, the Pentecostals, and those I know that said they believed this Message because a bunch were there. “What is he doing forgiving men’s sins?”

And Brother Branham said, “I caught that,” he said, “you thought I said, ‘I forgive your sins.’” He said, “You wonder why I could tell that man his sins are forgiven; the same voice, the same One that told me he was healed said your sins are forgiven.”

“His sins are forgiven; tell him:” because the Son of man, the Son of man doing the same thing again.

Matthew 12:

The Master of the rest that lies in front of us, and if the master of the Millennium is here, then the Millennium is being ushered in. Hallelujah, certainly it is.

Sure. He’s the Lord of the rest: r-e-s-t. He’s just exactly that because it says over here, in,

The Lord of the Sabbath, the Lord of rest, the Lord of relaxation, the Lord of the Millennium has come on down to usher it in. As what? The Son of man that is revealed.

Let’s go to,

The same life: He’s come to minister. What did Brother Branham say about a Bride? “She ministers back to the husband what he ministers to her.” So here He’s come to minister to us. He’s the Son of man.

Also, we go to,

Well, that didn’t happen. They’re dying, they ate that bread back there. It didn’t do; they’re decayed. Moses ate the same manna and he died; he didn’t make it.

And William Branham ate the same manna that we’re eating, and he died because he’s a prophet, he had to go to the fathers where the prophets are.

But Jesus said, “Somebody’s going to eat and not die.”

And turn down the Word of the hour? And say that you’re full of the Holy Ghost and dwelling in him? Do you see how you and the Father are one? I preached on the reflection and here it is.

He that hath the Holy Spirit in this end time and has this Word in him he’s joined up to the Father, the Son, he’s one with the whole bunch. Absolutely one with God.

Now he’s putting the thing back in our day. Brother Branham said, “Jesus did things… didn’t do things that He had to finish in this hour.”

This is one of them. Giving the Word of the hour which is ‘we shall not die but live’.

See, the Son of man turns Judge and as a quick note, remember, the Judge sets the time or the calendar for His visit and His decisions. The Judge has His own calendar.

He knows who’s going to be brought in and who’s not. He sets the schedule up: He sets everything up. See?

But you can see that over here in Luke 17th chapter, which we read so many times. Now look at it.

Why He said, “You’re not even on my timetable, but… you’ll see it later.”

What is he talking about? When He is in the midst of them and those days repeating, the day of Abraham, the double visitation, the promise and the quickening of the Word.

God’s got to quicken His own Word. God gives His Word, then He makes It come to pass. He breathes on It. “Let there be light.” That was just a word, but light came. See, reality.

Now we don’t have to read that. You can go by it yourself. All right.

Listen! So He is prophet, turning Judge more and more, for the Judge is the consequences or natural outcome of the Word, the natural normal inevitable person. No judge, no enforcement.

You say, “Oh, God will just enforce his Word.” No, He won’t just enforce His Word. You’ve got your types that He came down and told it, then began enforcing it.

And shall not the Judge of all the world do right? And that was the prophet. The prophet looked on the great Prophet as the Judge.

Now the prophet couldn’t make decisions. The decisions were already set by God. See? Word is prophet and prophet is Word. And that sets decision. Out of the prophet comes the judge. Why? Word! See?

And the judge is the consequence, or natural outcome of the Word, the natural, normal, inevitable person. No Word, no judge. No judge, no enforcement.

He has already begun to enforce His Word. Let’s see about that. Now what I’m trying to show you is this the elements of the judge are here now without it going to the perfection of judge.

Like a boy, he’s going to be a man, he’s going to be a husband, he’s going to be a father. Already the seeds are there. See? Now he’s got to grow up.

Now here’s what it says in,

Now he’s already started. The process of enforcement. You say, “How can that be?” Because God’s Word is It’s own enforcer.

“Let there be light.” Light! “Let there be death.” Death! “Let there be life.” Life! “Let the tides rise.” The tide rises. “Let the lamps come down.” The lamps come down. “Let the lamps go up.” The lamps go up.

The prophet’s already judge. That’s why people think we believe in… a second chance at the White Throne. They’re crazy. There’s no second chance. The records are read exactly as they are. And God knew what those records would be.

Said about Abraham. Why He said, “I’m down here with Abraham and I know how Abraham is going to go.”

He said, I’m the Foreknower. I’m the Predestinator. I’ve given Abraham a Word; he’s going to live. The Word is that Sarah is going to bring forth a son by Abraham,” and that types this hour.

The Bride is literally going to bring Jesus Christ down through the process of God in her. God returned to Sarah. They can go through the act. It didn’t matter. It didn’t do any good.

Oh, Abimelech said, “She’s a beautiful girl. I’ll have her for a wife.” He wanted to raise children up by her. So God just stopped it from getting in the act and then He struck all the women’s wombs dead.

Now He said, “So much for you, big boy.” No life there.

But pretty soon a return visitation, what was it? It was life. It was life coming into God’s Word that was said and that life was in her.

And when the life was in her and him quickened; it brought the son, and when the Word of God is quickened in the Bride the dead are going to come out of the ground, we’re going to be changed: it bring forth Jesus Christ. We meet Him in the air. It’s not going to stop God what He’s supposed to do.

Ha, and they don’t believe in the Presence. I’d like to ask them how… they’re going to make to get their change. Who’s going to bring the dead out of the ground? Well, they say, ‘It’s just a normal consequence.”

Well, then how come the Bible distinctly says, “Except for Elijah cometh, I just—phttt!—get rid of the whole bunch of you?” Oh well, that’s just a little figure of speech. Is it now?

Well, ‘born again’ is a figure of speech, and ‘hell’ is a figure of speech, and ‘heaven’ is a figure of speech, and God is a figure of speech. That’s so much for the gates of hell. Yeah. It’s a good thought for Thanksgiving down here.

Once there is Word by the prophet there has to be the Judge. And to the Bride it is not death or even tribulation or purging but it’s Revelation 11:17-19. Now let’s look at her.

So there’s wrath going on down here, and there’s rewards and rejoicing going on here, by the same Judge. One is condemnation, one is rewards and merits.

And the merit to the Bride is this by grace if she learns to get herself out of the way and let Him have a little bit in her life, there’s nothing He won’t do for her because the headstone comes, “Grace, grace,” and when He does He stands there part of the foundation making the whole church one. One unit.

Oh, praise God. It’s just like the anointing oil that poured over Aaron’s head, it went over his whole head and made the whole hair of his head one hair and his beard one hair. Just plastered down. Flowed down over the garments. Yes sir.

John 5:

Why? Because all judgment is given unto him. Why? Because He is the Son of man.

Now listen! Just back in that day you could say anything you want against the Son of man because he hadn’t yet died upon Calvary but the end time when the Son of man appears in the form of the Holy Ghost, one word, you’re finished.

Now listen again.

No way because life from hearing is indestructible. Life that doesn’t hear is destructible. It can be destroyed. All right.

It is now the hour of,

Absolutely guiltless, pronounced so. Now listen, that is absolutely the day of the Lord, the time that He’s Judge. Now listen! You’re going to have to be that way before judgment strikes because the Bride doesn’t have judgment.

It is the hour of Acts 23: …rather, the hour of October 23, 1964, seventeen years after… or seventeen years later, Brother Branham stood there in Colorado after that mighty miracle and he’d kept his word and he said to those three deer, “I’ve kept my word and God said if you’ve kept your word, how much more have I kept Mine.”

And I was talking to Becky last night and I said, “Becky, he didn’t put it on tape. He didn’t tell you but he told me. He said, “Lee, from that moment, he said, I have no sense of guilt.”

And I said, “Becky, I saw on your mother’s face the same thing I saw on your dad’s. She’d come to a place of peace. That she was there where there was no guilt and no fear.”

And she said, “Yes, Lee, she told me shortly before she died.”

I proved that was it because this is just before she died, she’d come to grips with herself and peace with Almighty God, back to where she was years back, the wife of the prophet, getting ready to go off the scene.

I want to tell you brother/sister, there’s great things ahead, there’s great things ahead. Oh yes, just don’t give up the ship.

I know right now you’re in a place because of the grace and Presence of God, you’re uglier than you ever were, you’re rottener than you ever were, in your own thinking you’ve made no strides, you’ve made none but let me tell you, grace, grace, grace, by grace are you saved through faith and that not of yourself: it is a gift of God.

Seventeen years later and God seems to do things in seventeen around Brother Branham. I can say the same thing that one day as the hand came down and turned me around, and I realized in spite of myself but because of Him I’m guiltless before God.

It’s supposed to be that way, my brother, my sister, under the Seventh Seal.

We no longer look back. We don’t look forward but we see Jesus, the prophet judge whose counterpart in the flesh is mediator and intercessor.

That’s Jesus, of the Lamb on the throne who is at this time king designated, because in the form of the Son of man he said, “The kingdom is already here. He’s in the midst of you.”

And He is the designate, the one in the body of that Son of man, the Holy Spirit right here and He said, “The kingdom is here in your midst, in Him is the Resurrection, in Him is my immortality and yours, in Him is the Rapture, the Wedding Supper, in Him is the mighty takeover of this world as we crush the enemy under our feet.”

Now let me tell you something brother/sister, in the original Hebrew it does not say seed as of singular in the woman; it ‘seeds’ plural. It is only ‘seed’ singular to Abraham.

So, one day that great royal seed and all the seeds are going to come down and eyeball the anti-Christ, the devil.

And I can’t wait for the day when I say, “Satan, I’m going to just ask God to add on sixty trillion more years for one thing you did back here and eighty trillion more years for something down there,” unless He changes me because I’ve got a controversy with the gates of hell, for their vicious clanging and the death that Satan has perpetrated upon the world, I’ve got my controversy and I know you’ve got yours.

And one of the greatest controversies of all is, that he’s the one who made it so we don’t give him the glory. That’s Christ the glory and honour and the love and the wonder that we should do because he has stepped in, but we’re going to get back at him.

And the Bible says that day we’re going to look narrowly upon him and say, “This wasn’t the one that made the world to tremble.”

Yes, that’s the dirty dog, the lowdown little skunk, slimy little jerk, rotten pinhead because that’s all he is, bluff, but he’s milked it to the last inch. He’s taken everything that was good from God and destroyed it by mutilating it and perverting it, but we see Jesus.

Oh yeah, we’re waiting for that day.

It is Romans 8: in this hour. Now listen here’s your Judge.

Now as Judge you’ve got to say that. Yeah, that’s 1 Corinthians 1:7-8. Brother Branham spoke the Judge’s words, what he said, “Little Bride, you didn’t do it at all.”

And pronounce a sentence it is going to fall back on him, Satan who is the one that caused it all.

Now here… here is this judge, as Brother Branham said, “He’s the attorney, he’s the Judge, he’s the Jury: it’s a stacked case,” but it’s a court just the same. This brings on …35-39

Now listen! These are conditions that come up and would say the Judge gave a wrong decision: tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril, sword, sickness, God knows what.

Now that’s the Judge of all the earth speaking. Why? Because He’s judging from His own Word. How could the Word say something and the Judge say different like you’re crud, rotten, stinking, immoral judges in America?

Abused the First Amendment, day and night, and cared nothing.

Do you think for one minute Brother Branham was sarcastic, running off at the mouth as some little two bit jerk that’s trusted with the power of God when that policeman hauled him because he crossed the state line speeding a bit?

And he said, “One of these days…” and he could have been talking to himself for you and me stand before a judge and say, “Just a minute, judge, just before you pass sentence on me, who is that women you were out with last night? I’ll tell you her name.”

No bastard can judge the legitimate. Our judges are illegitimate to the law; they are bastard to the law: our God is truth and legitimate, and His Word is law and He judges by His Word.

And His Word said, “They shall never perish. They’ll never perish. They shall not come in the condemnation. They shall never be judged. But they shall be rewarded. The saints to get their rewards, marvelous grace of Almighty God. Oh yeah.

Be clothed with the words of the Judge himself, over here in the Book of Revelation 1: let’s go back where the Judge is, let’s pin it down, and find out if I’m telling you the truth or some bedtime story.

Stand up. Nothing to be afraid of. What do you have to be afraid of? Brother Branham said, “I saw His face, He could have destroyed a thousand worlds, but” he said, “such compassion.”

Yeah, standing in the church, the light of the world, the light of the church, one day those eyes will blaze; sure, there’ll be the Judge, but not unto condemnation.

That One there that John saw is the One who said, “I am the Resurrection and the life,” He is the good Shephard, and He is calling His sheep by name at this very hour.

And the Scripture said, “The same Word says, to us by the same One who is now Judge, My sheep hear My voice and they follow Me.”

There are those that followed Him into the death, into the grave, and they hear the voice of that Son of God and come forth and there are sheep today who are walking and they hear His voice and they shall not die but they’ll walk into everlasting life and immortality.

There you are brother/sister. The Judge and the Bride.

“What have I to fear? What have I to dread?” Nothing at all. What have I needing besides You? Nothing at all.

Is there anything missing? No, there’s nothing missing. Is there anything made up? No, there’s nothing made up. The same One that’s here that brought the Word.

That’s what Brother Branham said, “The same One that brought the Word to Paul is the same One here revealing the Word.”

And let’s be honest, and the same One is here fulfilling the Word.

And as Brother Branham said, during the Seals, almost fainting away, “Why,” he said, “it’s been Jesus Christ all the time,” and so it has been that great God working in mercy and love and honor. Oh, sure, brother/sister, there’s no fear.

Not even as judge. That word ‘judge’ strikes terror in everybody’s heart because we know we have all failed but I want to tell you something it was Sinai that projected death but it was Calvary in a Resurrection that projected life and that same One stands and says, “I was dead—no animal could say that—and I’m alive.” The animals says, “I’m dead and I stay dead.”

But this One came in an animal form, so-to-speak, your form and mine. And He said, “I was dead but I’m alive forevermore and because I live you shall live also.”

“John was in the Spirit,” the old song says, “on the Lord’s day and heard a voice behind him saying, ‘I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, behold, I live forevermore.’” And that’s exactly right. “Behold, I live, behold, I live, behold, I live forevermore.”

And I’m going to tell you when you and I get in the Spirit we’ll hear that same voice as John which is a conversational voice when men and women begin to talk the great Word of God in this hour and hear the great Word of God, and I tell you, believe me, it is conversation.

I can get up here at times and you know I get sort of carried away, I get ripping and snorting; it doesn’t hurt anybody because you know what I’m talking about. I’m not hitting anybody here and don’t get that idea.

I’m laying her down flat because tapes will go out, don’t worry. They’ll be going out. And I don’t care who hears them. They hear them at their own risk because I don’t send them out.

Yeah, they say splitting churches. Why? How could Jesus split a church? I’m going to tell you something brother/sister, it may be the coming out of the ‘coming out’ for a long time, maybe, the wise are beginning to go in.

You said, “You believe you’re wise?”

Absolutely, you think I’m going to stand up here and be some kind of a jerk and deny my Savior who turned me around, who took my complexes, who took away hell, the measure what Satan gave me, in order… stands me upon a rock and give me the joy of the Lord.

Well, come on, I’m not looking at myself. I’m looking at Him. If you want to look at me, you have a ball, you’ll die in your sins. Look to Him. Look to Jesus now and live.

Oh, brother live, the song says. “Look to Jesus now and live.” It’s the record, absolutely, the record written, hallelujah, look to Jesus now and live.

You can’t live any other way until He taps you by the shoulder and says, “Hey, don’t be afraid.” The prophet said, “I’m not afraid anymore.” Yeah, tapped him on the shoulder.

You say, that’s for a prophet. Is it? Don’t be ridiculous. Moses ate the same manna the people ate. I don’t care if William Branham brought the Word. I’m happy he did. I say, “Brother Branham, God bless you. I’m going to eat it.”

I’m like my sister-in-law, I don’t care who owns it as long as I can use it. I don’t know who brought it. William Branham didn’t bring it. God brought it but God used him. And God uses us. We’re His body.

You say, “My, I think He ought to have done better.” I’m glad He didn’t. I’m glad He didn’t. I’m glad He takes the beggars off the dunghill and makes them princes.

If you’re already a prince, He just throws you on the dunghill, “Bye, bye, Charlie.” No Charlies here; I’ve got you right there. If a Charlie comes in I’ll have to change my words.

Like the other night I said… I’d laugh the other morning, I said, I was kidding about, you know, the whiskers under the nose.

I wouldn’t take and shave it off, as though you’ve got to shave your whiskers off. I make a little funny remark or something about liking to it and then you’ve got to know what’s behind my thinking.

People don’t shave your moustache or anything until… you say, “Brother Vayle, what did you mean?” Because things like that aren’t important to me: I could tell you why but I won’t bother. You know, it’s just little funny things.

But the Lord bless you. I trust you begin to see, look, “Behold, the Judge standeth at the door.”

At the very time of the former and later rain, He standeth at the door. See, don’t be worried. Don’t need to hold grudges.

You say, “Brother Vayle you hold some grudges.” Sort of. I’m not perfect. Just a perfect jackass.

The only perfection that I’ve got is the realm of the complete far out gunk. I don’t claim anything other than Him. I tell you what I learned one thing, if He doesn’t do it ain’t going to get done.

I’m tired of looking at me to do it because it ain’t going to get done anyway. How are you going to climb to heaven? Well, you can’t… you can’t add a cubit to your stature.

You can’t take really one wrinkle off your face and make it stick; it’ll come back. I don’t care what you do it’s going to go to the ground unless God does it.

“Except the Lord build the house they labour in vain that build it. Except the Lord watch the city, the watchman watched but in vain.”

You might as well learn, the younger you can learn the better. You’re all younger than me. You might as well start learning now. Don’t wait till you’re fifty, sixty years of age to find these goodies out. Find them now.

Why I’d sooner find them out at sixty-eight than never at all. Certainly I’m not… I’m not complaining, I’m just telling you, all these years down the road  I’m telling you it’s been worthwhile.

Oh yeah, one of these days I’m just going to jump on the gates of hell and swing that’s all. Pour the oil on and watch them. Hey, that’s the way to do it. Pour the oil of God and watch them stop squeaking.

Let’s rise.

Heavenly Father, we’re grateful again as we say for Your kindness, Your mercy, Your love, all these things that You’ve given us, Lord, a time of fellowship together to see You here, You stand here just like You stood in Abraham’s day and You weren’t fully revealed as that Judge until the fire came but Abraham stood there and said, “Will not the judge of all the earth do right?” and You sure did do right. You took care of wise and foolish virgins.

You took care of everybody, Lord, and You’re taking care of everybody right now. And we believe, O God, in mercy and grace that just absolutely there’s… it’s in Your hand, and what… He that hath begun a good work will perform until the day of the Lord Jesus Christ.

We know You’re here to do it, Lord, absolutely we know that. And we’re so happy to just see this Message more and more a part of us, O God, and in spite of us because Lord, Your faith and Your belief is paramount to ours and we are no match for Thee and Thy grace, into Thy hands we commend ourselves, blessed Savior.

Oh Savior, Shepherd lead us, be our protection, be our head, be our everything. We’re just… we give up, Lord, we give up, we give up to You and it’s good. We love You.

We bless Your Name, we marvel at Your grace. We marvel at Your goodness, O God, mighty God, wonderful, wonderful God, we praise Thee, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Lord, be with us all, we know that we go different directions, some of us go down to Beaumont, go here and there, some on the road, Lord, doing this and that, but we pray, Lord, be with every one of us and may the richness and grace of God be here and be there, and may good be constantly done, O Lord, as we know it shall be, O blessed be Your holy name.

How can we even speak to You, Lord, there’s such a depth running within our soul to magnify Thy great Name until choking screams could hardly do it, Lord, deep calling unto deep.

Lord, there’s only one thing we know that could be the answer You’ve got to change us… no more as it is like David when he said, “He cannot come to me but I can go to Him.”

Lord, we’re sitting on the fence as it were tonight, we don’t know if we’ll go to them or they’re going to come to us but it’s sure like they’re going to come to us, Lord, and that’s tremendous, tremendous things.

That’s the way it is, Lord, You’ll keep us and You’ll help us and we get a little scary sometime, a little eerie, we’re worried about future things but we know that there’s nothing to really worry about for You said, “Fear not.”

You’re the One, Lord, that reached down Your hand like John and raised him and took him out of the stupor of death with himself wherein in Your Presence filling him with the Holy Ghost.

What was he? He had to fall whatever was there in front of him, we don’t understand it all, but said it was the prophet. Maybe that refers to Son of man again in this hour as prophet, I don’t know.

But we hear the same words, “Fear not, fear not.” No, no need to be afraid of You, no need to be afraid of messenger. We just look to You, O God.

Now heavenly Father, we commend ourselves to you, hopefully as we’ve never commended ourselves to You before in Your grace, Your mercy, Your love, Your kindness, all these things which we’re so grateful we can do it.

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

The Lord bless you.

Let’s just sing, oh, we’ll sing, “We’ll walk in the light,” because you know that’s what it’s all about, walking in the light.

You know many people walk in their light which is you know is the word that sheds abroad on their path they’re walking in and that’s where their faith is.

Well, our faith is that we’re just going to walk into immortality and by the grace of God, and their faith is they’ve got to do something about it. Well, that’s fine by me.

I don’t know how they’re pull their selves up by the bootstraps. I’ve heard of people try to do it, but I tell you what I know it can’t be done. In fact I wouldn’t even try to borrow an escalator or elevator, or the fireman’s ladder or somebody’s cherry picker and try to get there.

It wouldn’t do you a bit of good but if you just trust Him, see, He’s already been up there, back and going back, see, He has no trouble going back and forth. See, He knows the way.

So if you just… you just latch unto Him tonight with everything you’ve got. You just… you know you just grab Him and say, “Lord, where You’re going I’m going too.” Why, He’ll say, “Well, come on.” That’s right.

Now that’s the light we’re walking in. I don’t know, people can walk any light they want and that’s fine by me. If you want to walk in the light and you’re going to pray yourself there, or fast yourself there or give yourself; that’s good. You try it.

Of course, you’re not going to try it you know better because you know jolly well, I can tell you one thing I don’t believe there’s anybody in this room that can actually jump high enough to stand still to even go through this roof here.

And I think the tallest man here is Norman and I think he has got about two and a half feet to go, not quite. I don’t believe… I don’t believe he could do it.

No look, forget it. You just take hold of Him and He’ll take you. Right? Okay, we’re going to walk in the light. That does it. That’s where your faith is.
