All Deceivableness of Unrighteousness 

Bro. Lee Vayle -  February ?? 1972 

a)	Beautiful day to come to the house of the Lord and worship the Lord
therein. Many things the Lord has left unsaid in His Word, He's just
given us a little idea of the future. And even with the end time prophet
we had very, very little knowledge of what the Millennium and the future
holds for us in the new creation. We just don't know, but I've often
thought how important the Millennium must be in the light of the fact
that even though many will come in, in the White Throne judgment, they
will have missed it, and they won't be part of the Bride.

	It's a great privilege to hear the Word of the Lord and know that at
least we've come this far to try to make our calling and election sure.
We've not turned down the Word of the Lord as so many people have done
in this Age.

b)	Now, on Wednesday night, this last Wednesday, I brought a message on
'Righteousness   and Unrighteousness’ which is one of two messages
relative to the same theme of the church being deceived into the worship
in an antichrist system.

	And so, I want to continue this morning with the message 'All
Deceivableness of Unrighteousness'. And the reading will be found in 2
Thessalonians 2:8-10. And before we read shall we pray once more.

	Heavenly Father, we count it a privilege to be here to worship
together, to study Thy Word, O God, to know what the Word says, and in
many places to apply It to ourselves. Even though in some cases, we can
only apply It by faith that we simply believe It, there's nothing we can
do about It, we just believe It. And so, Lord, we praise You that we
have Your Spirit this morning, and we have the revelation which was
vindicated to go by. And there need not therefore any man stumble or
falter, or have any problems in this area whatsoever. But, Lord, lest
Satan would trick us or deceive us some way, or the thoughts of our mind
get in the way we pray that You will have right away this morning. And
by Your Spirit, Lord, that You would be so gracious  just to take every
spirit in captivity, and every thought and every person's mind about
this Word. The giving of the Word and hearing might be one with Thee, O
God.

	Then, Lord, we know that everything is going to be just fine. So, we
dedicate ourselves to Thee this morning, believing that You've heard and
answered out prayers in Jesus' Name we pray. Amen.

1.	In verse 8, It says:

		(8) 	…then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall 					
consume with the spirit of his mouth, and destroy with the 					
brightness of his coming:	

		(9) 	Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with 				
all power and signs and lying wonders,

		(10) 	And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that 				
perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that 						they
might be saved.

	The tenth verse of course is the text. "And with all deceivableness of
unrighteousness in them that perish, because they receive not the love
of the truth, that they might be saved." 

	Now, there just positively is no language like the language of the
Bible. Many students have marveled at the beauty of It, the history, the
poetry, and the law, the Psalms, all of these things are beautiful. But
as I read this, I marvel again at the language of Scripture, because It
is so descriptive as It says, "All deceivableness of unrighteousness in
them that perish." It somehow makes you feel the awful depth of
rebellion and treachery that has come into the church, wherein it ends
up worshipping the devil. 

2.	Now notice, first of all It speaks of deception. And then It says,
the deception has to do with unrighteousness, there's where the
deception lies. It puts them both together so that this becomes the trap
that leads to the actual worship of Satan by the church. I want you to
notice that carefully what I said; that this Scripture here tells us
what the actual trap is. The end time trap that leads the Christian
church into an antichrist religion, and an antichrist worship system.

	Now, we must get this straight at the very offset that this is the
church. Now, it's not communism as many people would have us believe.
Neither is it a civic or federal, or an international government by
political and military forces. Although that could be involved.  It is
the church in a complete takeover and that's according to the Bible. The
church in a complete takeover and she herself worshipping the devil
through a church system.

3.	Now, listen carefully how: "Just like when the devil got into the
Jews in the days of Jesus." Now, here's your key, that's a direct quote
from Bro. Branham. "Just like when the devil got into those Jews in the
days of Jesus."  And you notice what he said in John 8:44

			(44) 	(You) are of your father the devil, and the lusts (actually
that 					            word is too strong, though it's a good word, it's
pleasures, and 

			            the pleasures) of your father (you) will do. He was a
murderer 					            from the beginning, and abode not in the
truth, because there 					            is no truth in him. When he
speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his 					            own: for he is a
liar, and the father of it.

	Now, this was a religious system when the devil got into those Jews in
the days of Jesus. And is going to repeat again according to what Bro.
Branham taught us.

4.	Now, furthermore, you may also notice it's the church, because of 2
Thessalonians 2:3 it says,

		(3) 	Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not 				
come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of 					sin
be revealed, the son of perdition;

	You will notice there has to be a falling away. And there can be no
falling away until first of all a lofty position has been attained, or
achieved. There can be no falling or away from a point unless the people
have been there in that point to begin with. So, how can there be a
falling away from God as I expressed on Wednesday night, unless first of
all they have been with God, or recognized. In other words, God has
recognized them, and they have recognized Almighty God.

	Now, furthermore you will notice in verse 10, It says:

		(10) 	…that they might be saved.

	Now, there is absolutely no institution in this world given to us
whereby we might be saved outside of the church. Now I speak in the
highest understanding of this word, 'church'. 

5.	Now, we'll got first of all in 1 Corinthians 12:13 it says:

		(13) 	For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether 			
	we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and 						have been
all made to drink into one Spirit.

	Now noticed, we're baptized into one body. And It says, "we've been
made to drink into one Spirit." 

	Now, over in Romans 8:9 (just taking a segment of It, the last half) It
says:

		(9) 	…Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none 					
of his. (See?) 

	Now, with this we run to Ephesians 1:22-23

		(22) 	And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be 					
the head over all things to the church,

		(23) 	Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

	Now, if you belong to Christ, then you're a member of the Church, you
have to be. And if you're a member of the Church, (speaking in the
highest terms now of the Scripture) then you have to belong to Jesus
Christ. 

	So, therefore the only soul saving institution there is, is the Church,
speaking in terms of the true Church. So, therefore you can see that if
this is the instrument of salvation that God has ordained the channel
which He uses, it is this same group that absolutely falls away.

6.	Notice also in 1 Timothy 4:1-3

		(1) 	Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, …

 	Now notice the terminology, he doesn't just speak, he speaks
expressly. And that is, he's pinpointing the very era, or the very time
that this certain thing would take place of which he's speaking.

		(1)	…that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, 				
	giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

	Now, this isn't witchcraft. He's speaking of the church. Now, many
times because we see witchcraft and the denial of those things which are
truly relevant to the Bride originally, from the original Word, we say,
"Well, alright that belongs in a certain group that never had a part."
Now, that's not true. It's speaking that they will depart. 

	Now, you can't depart unless you're in a certain place. Then when you
leave that place, you've gone away. Now, he's speaking right here of
departing from the faith. And there's only one faith and that's the
revealed Word. (See?) '' Now, these groups that people try to place this
on never did have the Word. (See?) Now, he says, his;

		(2)	 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared 					
with a hot iron;

		(3) 	Forbidding to marry, commanding to abstain from meats, 					
which God created to be received with thanksgiving of them 					which
believe and know the truth.  

		(4) 	For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, 			
	if it be received with thanksgiving: (and so on.)

	And now he goes on to say here:

		(5) 	For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

		(6) 	If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou 			
	shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the 				
words of faith…(you see, you can't separate faith from words)				     
      and of good doctrine, (good teaching which) thou hast attained.

	And he goes on and tells him these various things that will be in the
church.

7.	Now, with this also, we read 2 Timothy 3:1-9

		(1) 	This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall 					
come.

	Bro. Branham spoke of the last days as a repeat of all diabolical
cunning. Now notice, It doesn't say that the first days are perilous.
Many people look back on the history of the church in the days when
there was the lion and the ox, the two faces, or the two beasts, the two
living creatures. And in there we see troublous times, and people were
being sacrificed by the thousands. And the most horrible types of
destruction were heaped upon them. But, those were not called perilous
times. (See?) This end time is a perilous time. Perilous times shall
come:

		(2) 	For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, 					
boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, 						unthankful,
unholy,

		(30 	Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, 					
incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

		(40 	Traitors, heady, highminded, (now notice again) lovers of 					
pleasures more than lovers of God;

	Now, that's what Jesus said about these Jews, in chapter 8 of John
verse 44. He said, "The pleasures, or the lusts of your father's you
will do." The word is 'pleasures.’ 

8.	Notice:

		(5) 	Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof:  				
from such turn away.

	Now, the denying the power which is in the Word, because no Word of God
is void of power. The Word of God is creative. See, they've turned away
from that Word. Now, with that thought in mind as you begin to read
verses 2, 3, 4 again, you will see that these words do not describe what
many people think they describe, which is a tremendous outward
appearance of unrighteousness. (See?) Now, keep those words in mind,
because we're dealing with the thought of unrighteousness, and is the
deceivableness therein. (See?)  Now, these words in themselves seem to
be harsh strong words of an outward manifestation of gory sin. But, it's
not so, because It says they've got a form of godliness, so therefore
these words are describing a spiritual condition. Now, never forget that
everything is a substance and shadow. (See?) 

9.	Now, only in this world do we have a shadow. And that's the best we
can use in order to attain to any knowledge of a substance. Now, these
words then will be literally describing the true substance which is a
spiritual impact. So, keep that in mind, these words have a spiritual
connotation.

		(6)	For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead 					
captive silly women… (Miss Baptist, Miss Presbyterian, Miss 				
One-ness, Miss Two-ness, Miss Three-ness and so on, lead 						away with
diverse pleasures. See?) 

	Now remember, the pleasure is a spiritual form of worship. You hold on
to that, see? Now. now watch: 

		(7) 	Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of 					
the truth.

	Now, what has got to do then with lovers of their own selves.? 
Covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, " [2 Timothy 3:2] how do you
ever do that and come to a knowledge of the truth? You don't. What
you're doing is you're seeking a worship form to reach God and all of
these things are in there, and they're related to us in the shadow form
which many people just think, "oh these are…this is the mafia or some
bunch of terrible criminals that are doing terrible…" No, no don't,
it's the church, perilous times. (See?) 

10.	Now:

		(8) 	Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these 						also
resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate 						concerning the
faith.

	See, there you got it, it's a spiritual picture of what God looks down
at the end time church and sees their utter perfidy and rottenness. But,
they're going on seeking God and never coming to the truth. When the
real thing comes along they withstand the vindicated office of the
prophet. Just like Jannes and Jambres, hail fellow well met, and God
looks down just like Jesus did.

	Now remember, He said "You tithe of mint and anise and cumin, (He said)
these things you ought to do, but not leave the weightier matters
undone." [Matthew 23:23] Then He cursed them for believing contrary to
the revealed truth. (See?) And to them they were fornicators, murders
and rotten.  We've got the same thing right here. And you watch them
going down the street, they're not robbing the bank, and holding up the
drug store. No, nice bunch of people. You see what picture we're trying
to drive at. You've got to see this, or you will never under-stand the
antichrist system. And you'll never understand why Bro. Branham loved
the people in it, but hated the system. (See?) 

	Now, perilous days are coming, and remember, it's in the perilous days
that Jannes and Jambres take the authority and leadership. They're the
front boys for old Pharaoh. Now, he's got a bunch of front boys for the
Pharaoh system right today. Now, you understand that, you haven't been
in the Message that long to not to see it. 

11.	 All right, we might go a little further here to 1 John 2:18-19.

		(18) 	Little children, it is the last time: and as (you) have heard 		
			that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; 				
whereby we know that it is the last time.

		(19) 	They went out from us, …

	There you are, what did they go out from? They went out from reality on
the grounds of their own unreality. They differed in the revelation of
the Word. That's exactly why they always go out. (See?) 

	Now notice:

		(19)	… (they no doubt would have continued with us,) but they 					
went out, that they might be made manifest that they were 						not all
of us.

	The manifestation then is the departure from the truth. It is not those
vile things that we read here as though they were truly vile things
being committed, it's the spirit behind it. (See?) You follow it now?
Let's get a bird's eye view how God looks upon this thing. Now, if you
don't get the bird's eye view how God looks, you'll never understand
where the prophet said,            "I indict this generation."   Because
this generation coming closes to the real thing there ever was, which is
a unity and dynamism in the Holy Ghost, but it lacks the revelation. You
follow me? Just get the picture, see.

12.	Now, notice also it said they went out with their own word and ways
of worship, and what does John call them? He calls them antichrist.
Okay, 2 Corinthians 11:2-3 It says:

		(2) 	(But) I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: (I've) 					
espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as 						a chaste
virgin to Christ. (Not just a virgin, but a chaste 						virgin, see?) 

		(3) 	But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve 					
through his subtilty, (now notice now) so your minds should 					be
corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. (See?) 

	Now, this is the danger, the corruption of the processes of spiritual
learning. And there is no spiritual learning apart from the illuminated
Word which the mind receives. Because remember, salvation is by faith.
"Enoch walked with God by faith and was not, because the Lord took him."
[Genesis 5:24] And two cannot walk together unless they be agreed.
(See?) 

	You've got the very same statement in, 'The Spoken Word is the Original
Seed' [62-03-18] that the Bride becomes so much the Word in order to
approach unto Him, order to be united with Him. She's got to unite first
of all with the Word in order to unite with Him in the Marriage Supper.
(See?) 

13.	Now, notice also Matthew 13: 24. I just want to trace this through
and show you it is the church, and how God looks down upon this church. 

		(24) 	Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom 				
of heaven…

	Now, notice what we're talking about. "The kingdom of heaven." Now, out
of this comes just about a filthy a connotation as you want to get. And
He's talking about the kingdom of heaven. Not Joe's pool room, or some
filthy politician trying to set up a utopia. Now:  

		(24)	…(it’s) likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his 					
field:

		(25) 	(And) while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares 					
among the wheat, and went his way.

		(26) 	(And) when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth 					
fruit, then appeared the tares also.

		(27) 	So, the servants of the householder came and said unto him, 				
Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence 					then
hath it tares?

		(28) 	(And) he said…An enemy hath done this. The servants said, 				
(then giving their little thought on the subject and how to 					
correct it,) Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

		(29) 	…he said, (by no means,) lest while (you) gather up the tares,
					(you) root up also the wheat with them.

		(30) 	Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of 			
		harvest (I'll) say to the reapers, Gather (you) together first the 			
	tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: … may the 						binding
is to the end that they may be burned, though they 						will not be
burned at the time that they're bound) but gather 					the wheat (in) my
barn.

15.	All right:

		(31) 	Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom 				
of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, 					and
sowed in his field:

		(32) 	Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, 		
		(that grain of mustard, remember, like that faith the original 				
revealed Word) it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh 					a tree,
so that the birds (and that's always a dirty connation, 						foul
birds) of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

	A worldwide system of Christianity full of rotten foul doctrine. You
can't get away for it.

		(33) 	( And) another parable… (you think that was enough) The 					
kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman 						took, and hid
in three measures of meal, till the whole was 						leavened.

	Now, this is exactly why Bro. Branham had the vision of the woman who
was his mother, but wasn't his mother. Of the man who was his father,
but wasn't his father, because he was born in it. The whole system from
center to circumference at the end time is absolutely such a mess, that
Jesus has got to…He's got to put in His Word, "Except I send Elijah, I
will come and destroy utterly the whole bunch, from center to
circumference."  And what is it? It is a spiritual filthiness. It's not
a physical filthiness. Although look, there's always going to be that
group around too. But remember, the emphasis is on the spiritual
filthiness, because here's where the peril lies, keep that in mind. You
follow me?

16.	Okay, Revelation 18:1-5

		(1) 	And after these things I saw another angel come down from 				
heaven, having great power; the earth was lightened with his 					glory.

		(2) 	And he cried mightily with a strong voice…Babylon the great 			
	is fallen, is fallen, and become the habitation of devils, ...

	 Now notice, he didn't say it was fallen, fallen and has been wiped off
the map, it's a spiritual falling. (See?) Why? Because it is the
habitation, it's not because it's been destroyed and annihilated, it's
still existing, but it fell from something. (See?) Everything falls from
something. You can't fall, unless first of all you've had a foundation,
or you always were in the state of falling. Right? Okay,

		(2)	…and the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul 					
spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

		(3) 	For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her 					
fornication, (spiritual, denominational-ization of themselves) 					and
the kings of the earth have committed fornication with 						her, and
the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through 						the abundance of
her delicacies.

		(4) 	And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out 						of
her…

 	They're right in there, (see?) and the peril is, that people at the
end time don't even know they're part of this antichrist system unless
they get out. (See?) Alright, you just can't change that if you tried.
Notice:

		(4)	…Come out of her my people, (and) be not partakers of her 				
sins, and that (you) receive not of her plagues. (Great 					
Tribulation.)

		(5) 	For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath 					
remembered her iniquities.

	Now, remember that word 'remember' in there, doesn't mean that God
closed His eyes and went to sleep, and suddenly went, "Hey, I remember
something I forgot." No! It means, 'it's time for judgment'. Every time
you see that word 'remember', you find right in there, God's going to do
something about the situation that has now come to the place that
demands some- thing be done about a situation. Now, it's the world
church system that demands that God acts. And He's showing us how the
church got into this system. 

17.  Let's go to Jeremiah 3: and also see what He said about it. This is
a very rough one right over here Jeremiah 3:1-3. 

		(1)	They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, 				
and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? 						shall
not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played 						the harlot
with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the 					LORD.

	Why? Because at the end time God's got a group that won't die. (See?) 

		(2) 	Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and see where thou 					
hast not been lien with. In the ways hast thou sat for them, 						as
the Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the 						land
with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness.

		(3) 	Therefore, the showers have been withholden, and there hath 				
been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore's forehead, thou 					
refusedst to be ashamed.

	Do you think for one minute that you can get a man to be ashamed of his
organization? He's happy and proud of it. They're absolutely enamored by
what's going on, because now it seems that God has vindicated these
organizations by the presence of His power amongst them. That's right,
they're proud, because they feel vindicated, because they've got the
'charismatical' (that's a beautiful word) the charismatic manifestation.
And some say, "The charismatic manifestation in depth." (Oh, brother,
pull-picture, pull-put, and have pity, just talking to myself, thinking
out loud.)

18.	Now, that we see so many Scriptures that point to the fact that this
is the church, we cannot but agree that it is the church system of
Christianity. Because that's what the Bible deals with. It's the church
system of Christianity that will lead the world into universal worship
by an antichrist system. For Satan has deceived them into thinking that
they are actually worshipping God, and are approved of Him. See, they're
fooled. They really believe that they are approved. They say, "Fine,
it's just wonderful and we're doing great things."

	Right today, you can go over there to Russia, they tell me Dr, Gugenvue
was telling me that the scientists, the physicists are going to Russia
and they say there's a real dynamic revival of religion going on amongst
the people over there. Well now, how dynamic is it if they don't know
the truth? (See?) What good is it if they don't know the truth? They'll
never be in the First Resurrection. (See?) Because they can't be in the
Bride apart from what is set forth as the truth.

19.	Now, the story is told of a lady and her husband. They were both
doctors, and they were working in their apartment one day, and the lady
said to her husband, she said, "You know, the communist, the head of our
party tells us there is no God."

	He said, "That's exactly right. That's the way they say it, that's the
way we believe it."

	She said, "Well, it's very strange if there's no God to create things,
how is it that all these wonderful things that have been made?" 

	"Now, (he said) shut up, the place might be bugged, we've got good
salaries, we're respected so lay off it."

	And she said, "Well, I don't know that I can do that exactly, because
(she said) just take my thumb now.  Now, what is the rest of my hand
without my thumb? See, how it works, it does things so beautifully, I
grasp…" and she told the things that it did. 

	And he said, "Look, (he said) there's nothing."

	"Then, (she said) nothing made my thumb, then I'll worship nothing."

 	Now, you see this sounds good. And people people's hearts rejoiced
that men are being turned toward God. But, what if it's their God of
their imagination and not the God of truth? What if their worship is by
precepts and theory and not by revealed truth? (See?) This is the thing
that stumbles the average man. This is the thing that stumbles the
church. This is the thing that stumbles everybody, and they are not
willing to believe that it must be according to truth. Just what Jesus
said to the woman at the well.

20.	Now then, because we have this in our minds, and I know we can see
clearly here from Scripture exactly that this is the church in an
apostate condition, we're ready to look at those words over here in the
Book of 2 Thessalonians, and we'll start with the word,
'deceivableness'. Now, this come from the word 'deceit, or deception',
dome kind of deceit.

	And if you look it up in the Greek, you'll find the root meaning is
'delusion'. Because a deceived person is a deluded person. Now, delusion
means, 'to believe' something that is contrary to reality, and thereby
be deceived. Let's listen again: delusion means, 'to believe'. Not do,
but believe something that is contrary to reality and thereby the person
is deceived.

	Now, delusion is a bad thing. But there are degrees of delusion. You
can be fooled by various things that come your way, like a little deal
that someone made, sell you on a house, or car, or something, and
that’s bad. But, that's not half as bad as you being deceived that
non- edible mushrooms are edible, eat the mushrooms and die. You can
lose your house, that's bad, but that's not too bad. But when you're
dead that finishes it.

21.	Now, at the end time there is a delusion that brings the church to
its death. This end time deception (in the church) if we enter it, there
is no recovery, because the Bible said, "If you take the mark of the
beast and you worship, you will go to the lake of fire and be eternally
lost. The church will perish just like Egypt perished when God called
Israel out of Egypt.

	In Revelation 18: 4-5, which I read, the Bible says, "Come out of her
my people, and be not partaker of her sin that you receive not of her
plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered
her iniquity." In other words, God is now going to destroy spiritual
Egypt, because of their sin. And He says, "Come out of her my people."

22.	Again, in the Book of Hebrews 6: it tells you it'll be too late if
you turn down the end time revelation. In verses 4 and 6, It says:

		(4) 	For it is impossible for those who were once (for all) 					
enlightened, …

	And notice what happens with this enlightenment. Not in any other age
does this occur, but in the end time age.

		(4)	… (they taste) the heavenly gift, (they partake) of the Holy 			
		Ghost,

		(5) 	(They) tasted the good word of God, (they taste) the powers 				
of the world to come, (and they still fall away.)

	Not if they shall fall away, It says, "Having fallen away." You can
have every bit of this, and not be saved. You can have every bit of this
and be in the antichrist church system, and be as lost as lost can be.
You can have this and operate in this realm apart from the revealed Word
Almighty God, which revealed Word brings this to pass. But, turning down
the source of reality you die in the system. Remember, it's the
enlightenment that brings this. Remember, until Bro. Branham came on the
scene, this was not here. After he came on the scene, it was here, but
the turn down the Word, (the enlightenment) Paul says, "You are not even
saved."

	In other words, they could come up at the White Throne judgment and be
condemned to the lake of fire according to Matthew 24. Now listen, it
would be too late then to learn the truth. It is then death. The last
plague in Egypt was death, so will it now be spiritual death. The church
and all systems go to their death, and the sacrifice that they believed
in, is to no avail. (See?) Everybody is talking about a sacrifice.
They're putting their hopes upon a Blood covenant. But remember, that
covenant is annulled when they turned down the Word. 

23.	Now, if we had time we could go back to the Book of Isaiah here,
(let me see, maybe It's chapter 28, somewhere in that realm, just check
It) Isaiah. Now, in [Isaiah] 28: It says: 

		(15) 	Because (you) said, We have made a covenant with death, 					
and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing 						scourge
shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for 						we have made
lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we 					hid ourselves:

		(16) 	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for 			
	a foundation stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a 					
sure foundation: …

	Now, It tells you in the Book of Peter that this foundation stone is
the Word. (See?) And there is no covenant of God unless there is a
merging of the mind. There is no covenant and no agreement in this earth
unless there comes a merging of the mind. Then, how can you have a
covenant whereby you take within yourself the ability to get the value
out of this covenant, unless there's a merging of the mind. The covenant
is null and void, and therefore the purchase will not obtain. (See?) He
said, "I've annulled it."

	On every hand you can see by the Word of Almighty God that he said here
in verse 18.

		(18) 	…our covenant with death shall be disannulled, and you’re 		
			agreement with hell shall not stand; (and) when the over-					
flowing scourge shall pass through, (you will go) down 						(with) it. 

24.	Tells you right there. You can claim all you want about a Blood
sacrifice. And you can claim all you want about a rebirth. And you can
claim all you want about a power ministry. It says right here, "It's
annulled on the ground that you turned down the stone, which is a stone
event, which is that Word." Just what It says in the Book of Hebrews.
They came out of Egypt, they went through the desert; they went through
the Red sea; their clothes did not wear out; their shoes did not wear
out; nobody got sick; everything was wonderful; they ate the heavenly
food. And remember, they loathed it, they liked everything else but
that.

	Now, what happened? The covenant by blood which took them out, did not
take them in, because the Word preached was not mixed with faith and
them that heard it. Or in other words, they turned down the Word, but
they grabbed everything else. It's going to happen again. (See?) Now
listen, I've said it'll be too late then. (See?) All systems will go to
the death. The sacrifice in Egypt availed nothing other than great
wonders. That's all it'll avail.

 	Now listen, the original deception brought death, just like the last
deception brings death. Now, what was that original deception? Eve was
deceived in the Garden of Eden. Now, let's look at that, because this is
where we go to check out deception. Because we're talking about,  the
deceivableness of unrighteousness that caused people to come into this
system, and love it, and swear by it and praise it, act within it, and
still die. Okay.

25.	Now, what about Eve? She believed something that's contrary to
truth. That's exactly what? Because that's what delusion is, deception.
To believe something contrary to truth. Now notice please, this woman is
not possessed by a devil. See, I know when you talk about antichrist,
and you talk about those devils, everybody's got an idea, that it means,
everybody but them. And as long as they think that the know a little bit
of Word, and they claim that they've got the Holy Ghost, and they've got
a little bit of manifestation, and they live a little better life, they
say, "Well, hallelujah, I'm saved by the Blood, my faith in Jesus
Christ, everything is just A-1." 

	Now listen, remember original deception went back to Eve, the woman who
types the church, typing all of it, Bride and all. Right? All right, now
what…let's take a picture of her; is she possessed by a devil?  No,
she is not possessed by a devil. So, wipe that out of your mind. Is she
some mentally broken down creature? No! She is not, she has each of her
senses, so wipe that out. Is she some retarded creature, or some
sub-creation that need a further evolvement?  No! She's at the peak, so
wipe that out of your mind. She's perfect. She's a fine wonderful
person, very reasonable, very unassuming. 

26. This is why Bro. Branham could teach, "I do not hate the people, I
love them, but I hate the system." It's not the people, it's the system.
(See?) You can't put your finger on Eve. You put your finger on Eve at
the time of her deception, you prove what you've got in your mind. You
don't even know this Message. You just sit here and think you do. So,
what Bro. Branham said, "We'll all go crazy before it's over." Sure they
will, before it's over. We're not talking about being over, we're
talking about the trap. (See?) Where the two spirits are so close, that
except for a depth in revelation given to the elect, all but the Very
Elect would be deceived. 

	In other words, if this thing is so absolutely close at the end time
except for the grace of Almighty God through His foreknowledge which
brings about a predestination, there wouldn't be one person getting it.
That's how close it is. Now you show me…alright, if you don't get it
let me ask you this question: where did Bro. Branham get the anger of
the people instead of the praise? By the fact of the interpretation of
the Word. (See?) So, let's keep it in mind.

27.	She is a fine wonderful person, very reasonable, very unassuming,
but in spite of that she is deceived. Which means, that her believing is
wrong. (See?) 

	Oh…that lady is deceived. She thinks that color is pink.

	Oh boy, she's got to be color blind, it's green.

	Oh no, that's not it at all, it's her believing in spiritual matters
that condemns her. It's her believing of that Word at the end time. Fine
lovely person, oh yes, don't you ever think other than that. (See?) Her
believing is wrong. This is the starting place of the whole problem of
death. The whole problem of death starts right here, wrong believing.

	Now, never mind what she did, everybody gets involved there. But never
mind what she did, because that has nothing to do with it at this point.
What she did is the consequence of her believing of being deceived. If
her believing had been right, she would never have gone wrong. She never
would have sinned. Or in other words, nothing would have come into the
opening, to the open. (See?) 

28.	Now, what she did was an attribute or manifestation, or outcome of
her mental attitude toward the truth, which is the Word of God revealed.
(See?) The serpent said she would not die if she partook of the
forbidden fruit; Eve believed the word of the serpent, she believed the
devil's interpretation, she disbelieved the Word of God, that is
deception. Do you get it? Deception is dis-believing the Word of God.
Deception is being taken in by something other than that Word. Deception
is placing your life in the hands of something other than the revealed
Word. (See?) That's where she got fooled.

	Now listen, and try to get this: in all history there never was, nor
could there ever be another be lie greater than this one. There never
could be a greater lie than this one. People think different, but
they're wrong. Because it caused the fall of the entire race of the born
ones of God. Right. Those living seeds which were in Him before the
foundation of the world, everyone of them coming to birth was death
doomed by this deception. Still holds. There is no lie, or deception
like this one. 

29.	And remember, the lie is to repeat at the end time. It will deceive
every single person, unless God does something to prevent it, 2
Thessalonians 2:11

		(11) 	And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, 					
that they should believe (the) lie:

	Doesn't say the devil sends delusion, It says God will send delusion.
It says, God will blind their eyes just like in the days of Elijah when
the Syrians were blinded with their eyes wide open they looked at it,
and couldn't see it. And went right to the trap, where they could have
been absolutely destroyed, but it wasn't the time. Later on, they were
destroyed. (See?) 

30.	Matthew 24:24, notice what It says there, tremendous Scripture in
the light of what we're learning.

		(24) 	For there shall arise false Christ's, (even lying) prophets, …

	You say, "Why do you change that word from 'and' to 'even.? Because of
the Greek ‘kai’ and also be translated 'even', and in this case it
should be. Because Bro. Branham said, "The false Christ's and lying
prophets is one and the same thing. 

 		(24)	and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if 					
it were possible, they shall deceive … 

	They shall make the Very Elect of God believe that which is contrary to
truth, But, it can't be done. So, everybody else believes that which is
contrary to truth. And how can you worship God, except it be about the
truth? Remember what Bro. Branham said just like the devil's gotten in
those Jews back there. And they said, "We're going to worship anyway,
bless God." And they killed the very fount, or source of all worship.
They're going to do the very same thing right today.

31.	Now, deception brought the fall. In other words, is a first
deception brought the original fall. They brought the fall, so the last
lie, seals all the fallen ones into the harvest of death. There'd be
nobody make that First Resurrection outside of the Bride, and then the
144,000 don't die, they go into the Millennium. Nobody else. There's
nobody else can make it, they wait for the Second Resurrection.

	Notice also, this worship of Satan wherein people think they are
reaching God, comes to us in a certain way. 2 Thessalonians again, check
It out, 2: 9-10.

		(9) 	…whose coming is after the working of Satan with all 					
power and signs and lying wonders, 

	Tells you right there, manifestation, manifestation, manifestation. And
there has never been manifestation brother/sister outside of the Bride
until this end time. You check your history. The churches did not have
manifestation except under a real anointing. But, now at the end time
you are going to have manifestation…you just can't believe it. Bro.
Branham said that after he was gone, "you watch these false anointed
ones would rise up." And brother you look at them. The funny thing is,
they're all riding on his coat tails. And I can't figure that, because
the last man's coat tails I want to ride on is William Branham, because
he was the biggest flop of the works. You know why? Because they all
hated him. Then why join up with a fellow you hate?

	You know what? Because he was the pinnacle that God used for power, and
because they depend upon power and not the revealed Word, they've got to
associate themselves with him. You talk about a mixed-up mess, confusion
and all but the Elect being deceived. We're in it right now, because you
throw your hands and say, "Oh, what's going on." And if you didn't have
the Holy Ghost and know these things what would you do? You'd almost
walk off and say, "Forget it." Drive you crazy. (See?)  You can
see…you know that.

32.	Now listen, It says here: they're going to have this power, and then
It says:

		(10)	…with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that 					
perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that 						they
might be saved.

	Now, It tells you right here that Satan works in a certain pattern. Now
what was that pattern? To get the real gist of it, you got to go back to
the Garden of Eden. What did Satan do to destroy Eve?  He took a smart
and beautiful sensuous subtle creature to turn Eve from the truth to
reasoning. That's right, the rottenest act in all history. The most
deceitful and unrighteous act in all the world that took place in the
Garden of Eden is repeating at the end time. 

	Woman which represents the church, (now listen) was deceived by
brilliant wisdom. Remember, the last face before the eagle, (which is
turned down) is the face of a man signifying wisdom. Remember, man is
the most cunning of all. There was only one beast that could out cunning
the cunning man, and that was a serpent. And now the serpent and man is
mixed. So, you've got a tremendous mixture of animal and man. (See?)
Right where we are today.

33.	Now, woman which represents the church was deceived by brilliant
wisdom. Now listen, and was made to believe that life, eternal life, can
come apart from the seed of Eternal Life which is the Word.  God said,
"You believe me and live. If you don't you'll die." And she believed
that she could have Eternal Life apart from the seed of Eternal Life
which is the Word. Now, get that because that's what the prophet taught.
You can talk all you want about Eternal Life, but if you don't go word
by word by this Message, you have got something wrong with you, and the
whoring womb will bring death. You getting your picture?

	Remember, the prophet said, "If you want to know something, go back to
Genesis." Find out what It says there. You don't look at the back of the
Book, don't look at the middle of the Book, you start at the first and
go to the back by the middle. And there's no such thing as a stick
having two ends unless it's got a middle. Don't get this Bible until you
go to the beginning of the stick then you go to the end of the stick.
Ever walk up and down a teeter totter for fun? Lucky thing there's
something in the middle to hold you. You walk up at one end, until you
walk down the other end. But, what it is, you're walking in the whole
thing.

34.	Now, if you want to be in the truth you've got to go back to the
beginning to see what the end is, because remember Alpha is Omega.
That's why Revelation is Genesis. Everything in Revelation is right back
there. Bro. Branham said concerning the Seven Seals, (and I haven't take
time yet to do it, and maybe I'll finally get the ambition if I get
inspired, something's got to happen, because I have no ambitions) but he
said that Seventh Seal was in Genesis.

	Then if It's in Genesis It's in Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers,
Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, right to Revelation. (See?) Not just one
Seal, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, but the Seventh Seal is there. (See?)


35. Now, looking at that original Book, the Book of Genesis, or
beginning, she thought that she could have eternal life apart form that
Word. Now where does that leave you? Look brother/ sister, in spite of
the fact that God slew an animal and prolonged their life they still
died. Then you don't talk about knowing God through a sacrifice, and
saying, "I was born again, hallelujah I believe in the Blood." You can't
do it. Now, for the sake of everybody I'd like to say they can. I’d
like to say with Paul, I could wish myself accursed for my brethren’s
sake, say "I don't believe that you can be truly born again and not, and
absolutely wish that you can go to hell, and the be annihilated if it
would do a bunch of people some good. But it won't work! There isn't
anything that's going to work outside of that Word, because, you see it
shows it in the Bible here. And look, God can't change. 

 	Eve was wrong, she was seduced. That's where she was deceived. She
thought that Eternal Life was hers apart from the Word, she left the
Word. Notice, she had to cast aside the Word first, before she could
sin. Bro. Branham said it. Well, that's true, you know that as well as I
do. Only then, she could sin. Isn't that exactly what happened and we
know will happen again according to 2 Corinthians 11:2-3. He said, "You
are a chaste virgin just like Eve. But I'm afraid that you are going to
be beguiled."  And that word in the Hebrew is absolutely physical and
moral and spiritual, mental, you're going to lose it all. (See?) 

36.	Now, let's prove it to be the truth. Acts 20:25, Paul said, 

		(25) 	…behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone 					
preaching the kingdom of God, … (the kingdom of Heaven, 					the same
thing, sowing of the seed, planting tares, (see?) 						casting net,
trees, now you) shall see my face no more.

		(26) 	Wherefore I take you to record this day, (make a record) that 		
		I am pure from the blood of all men.

	Why? 

		(27) 	(Because) I have not shunned to declare unto you all the 					
counsel of God.

	In other words, God sitting there advising you, and telling you as a
good lawyer, as a good advocate exactly what you've got to do to make
it. And Paul said, "I have been an ambassador to this very dictum
[pronouncement] of Almighty God which will put you there. That's how
you're free from the blood of all men, sticking with the Word. Otherwise
don't you see you're guilty of the blood of men. You follow me? I hope
you're getting this. May God help us to see it. Because Bro. Branham
said, "The simplicity is going to go over our heads." It's just too
simple. (See?)  You know everything is based upon law. Everything is
based upon Word. (See?) 

37.	Now, Paul is giving forth the wisdom of Almighty God. And this is
going to get us free from our blood, and the blood of anybody else if we
have the revealed Word, we are now free from the blood of all men.
That's why Moses was free, see, getting that Word.

	Notice now, verse 28 

		(28) 	Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, 					
over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, 						to feed the
church of God, (how do you feed? You feed by 						Word) which he hath
purchased with his own blood. (Christ 					is the Blood of God, Jesus
Christ.)

	Now, He purchased the whole world. But how many are going to make it?
They can't make it by the Blood unless they have the Word. (See?)  Now:

		(29) 	For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous 					
wolves (Jesus described them, they're wolves in sheep 						clothing.
They act like it, they look like it, they pretend 						they are, they)
enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 						(See?) 

		(30) 	Also of your own selves shall men arise, …

	Who is he talking to? Elders, not the pastor, not the teachers, not the
evangelists, not the apostles, not the prophets, but the elders. People
who want to preach and don't have a true calling, but they've got a good
life that consistent so they're allowed to preach. And remember, the
elder must be apt to teach. And what are they going to do? They're going
to rise and speak perverse things. Perverted things, they're going to
take the Word and twist It and change It, and put another meaning upon
It. And what are they going to do? 

		(30	… (they are going) to draw away disciples after them(selves).

38.	There is only one way that you and I can be a true disciple of
Christ, and that's to follow, believe in, the revealed Word of God.
(See?) It's dangerous to be in the pulpit. I wish I could get out of it,
but I trust God that I'll say the right thing. And I pray in my heart
I'll say the right thing. And if I do say the wrong thing, He'll correct
me and I've got to come back and tell you. (See?) Why? Because I don't
want you following me. If you try to follow me, I'll take a ten foot two
by four, and knock your block off, because that's what you deserve.
Don't you dare follow a man. If you've got some kind of spirit on you,
and say, "This guy, that guy," you're a phony as a three-dollar bill.
Smarten up! Stay with the Word!  (See?) Don't make a personality color
issues. (See?) 

39.	I'm not even a William Branham, I'm of the Word. He was a eunuch.
Sure, he was Eliezer. He's not my Bridegroom. Oh, some of you deity guys
if you're here, you may think so, but you…go ahead have it that way.
Don't ask me to do it. God doesn’t send a man like the apostle Paul
and these prophets say to make love to you and then find yourselves. He
sent him on ahead to bring him a Bride.  (See?) That's Paul says here,
"You're perverted." Don't listen to perverted things, or you'll be
perverted.  See, remember, it was the true Seed Word of God in Adam and
Eve. Now, Eve was the one that fell, but when that other word got mixed
it brought forth a Cain. (See?) Now, we don't fool with the Word of God.
(See?) 

		(30)	…of your own selves men arise, speaking (perverted) things,				
 (and) draw away disciples after (themselves.)

	Why does anybody want to change this Word? There's only one reason, a
man wouldn't stand with Bro. Branham a hundred percent with every word
he said, was to get his own following. You show me where Bro. Branham
ever invited a man to go to his church even. Didn't do it. You take the
man, analyze point him by point, he was absolutely a dedicated servant
of God, a real eunuch in the sight of God, he had no seed of his own to
sow, he brought the Word, the Word of God to the Bride, and they're
planting that seed, he'll be able to present it to Christ. The very
thing that Paul did, he did. We believe that. (See?) 

40.	Now listen, watch carefully in the Garden, Eve thought that she
could have God, (now listen,) she thought that she could have God and
faith in God and unbelief in His Word at the same time. Right? And she
died for it. You know that's a statement we ought to memorize. Not
because I say it, because it's the truth. She absolutely thought that
she could have God and faith in God at the same time that she had
unbelief in His Word.

	That's exactly what they're doing today. And listen, that's the
deception. You get the picture? That’s the deception. (See?) You
follow me? I'm taking this as carefully as I can, and going over and
over as many angles as I can to show you, this is the deception. This is
where the fooling is, the gifts and the miracles, and all the rest would
be fine, they'd be wonderful, it would be marvelous to have the altar
calls. It would be great to have worship. It would be great to have it
all, but they're lost because they missed this point. Here's where
they're deceived. They're not deceived in any other place. You follow
me?

	Not deceived because they go to the altar and get cleaned up, and have
kind of experience. They're not deceived there, it's here they're
deceived. You getting it? Otherwise, why did Bro. Branham come? 

41.	Look, Bro. Branham is one of the most loving men I ever met in my
life. But, I want to tell you something: I've met other loving men. He
had the great for this day, yet I've seem other men with a great power.
He was dedicated. But I've seen other men dedicated, but there's nobody
had the revealed Word outside of William Branham. I feel real good there
without shouting.  I better spare my throat. You can shout for me. And
they will do it again, for "Thus it is written, and thus they will die,"
because God and unbelief in the revealed Word of the day cannot go to
together. Why? Because He said, "You've fallen, you departed."

	Now, isn't that just…isn't that the truth? Then if you've departed,
or you've fallen you're not going together. Right? Man, that is so clear
to me, I'm ready to just start to preaching. Because I like these clear
things. These muddy things you've got to (you know) sort of snoop around
fifteen different angles. My, I've preaching that way too sometimes, but
that's hard.

42.	Listen, here's what Jesus said in John 15:22

		(22) 	If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had 					
sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.

	That's a Laodicean Church Age. And if you're going to go to Him for a
garment which He said you got to go, then you've got to have the Word.
God's speaking to you. Not a man anymore, but God. (See?) Pillar of
Fire. 

43. All right,  John 9:41, okay listen: here's where the blind man got
healed, remember?

		(41) 	Jesus said… If (you) were blind, (you) should have no sin:				
 	but now (you) say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth. 

	Let any man come against the Word of God revealed in Its day to
contradict It, He says, "I'm seeing…" The Bible says, "You're blind
and your sin remains." 

	If you even just say, "Look, I don't understand it, but I'm too smart
to go against It." You have hopes in the Second Resurrection. But the
minute that you add one word, or take away you have hurt yourself,
perhaps not irrevocably. Because the Bible says, "If you add, you'll
have the plagues, but if you take away your name goes out of the Book."
[Revelation 22:19a] So, I'm not going to try to twist the Word of God, I
just say the way It said it. There must be degrees in here somewhere.
But, brother/sister, the evidence is absolutely perfect, the way the
prophet taught it.  The minute this Age says, "We see, there is no more
sacrifice, because the sin remains. What's the sacrifice to do? Take
away sin. Christ died to absolutely divorce sin from us, so that
iniquity could not be imputed to us. (See?) 

44.	All right, notice the next word, now that's your deceit. Notice the
next word, 'unrighteousness'. Now, listen to what we have to watch when
he contemplates this Word. The word 'unrighteous-ness' seems so strong
and harsh, that we instantly spell it out as stealing, assaulting,
lying, killing, hard bare sin. Not so. (Huh?) These acts of killing,
marauding, mugging, robbing, they don’t deceive anybody. People run
from that kind, but the Bible says, "they run into this kind."  They
don't run from it, they run to it, because why, they love it, it's a
part of them. There's nothing there,  to make them fear. See, you follow
me? 

	This unrighteousness is not what the human mind calls unrighteousness.
It's tricky, because you don't run from it, you run into it. (See?) This
is not the bellow of rage by a charging bull, but the soft voice of
seduction that promises life, love and beauty while it injects the
poison of death. See? It is a trap to lure the church her death, by
making her feel that God is going to fulfill His Word to her, while she
takes the pathway of perversion. That's exactly what happened to Eve.
You can't put a finger on her. (See?) The trap to lure the church to its
death by making her feel that God is going to fulfill His Word of
promise to her, while she takes the pathway of perversion. That's
exactly what took place in the Garden.

45.	Notice what Eve did, she acted to bring life, (now listen carefully)
she acted to bring life which was according to a promise of God, but
which action of how to do it was not according to the revelation of God.
For she was given to Adam to reproduce himself. 

	Now, let's go to Genesis 2:18-20, and get a little picture there.

		(18) 	And…God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; 			
	I will make him (singular) an help meet for him.

		(19) 	And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast 						of
the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them 						unto Adam
to see what he would call them: and whatsoever 					Adam called every
living creature, that was the name thereof. 					(Remember, they were
all made in pairs.)

		(20) 	And Adam gave names to all cattle, to the fowl of the air, and 	
			to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found 					an
help meet for him.

	Now, they were given to multiply and to reproduce themselves so they
could have an image. Now, Eve was given to Adam for the very same thing.
(See?) But how…and she was supposed to reproduce with him, in order to
bring forth children. Now, that was a command of God. Which is Bro.
Branham said, "To obey the command of God, should have brought life, but
behold, it brought death." Now, what did he bring death? Because she
didn't act within framework of the Word of how to do it.

46.	Now, let's prove it, we'll go to Genesis 3:14-19, and herein you'll
find the penalty. God penalizing. 

		(14) 	…the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast 					
done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, above every beast 					of
the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou 					eat
all the days of thy life:

		(15) 	(I'll) put enmity between thee and the woman, (not notice) 					
between thy seed, and her seed; Now, how do you get seed?) 					it shall
bruise thy head, thou shalt bruise his heel.

		(16) 	Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow 					
and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; 					and
thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over 					thee.

		(17) 	And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the 				
voice of thy wife, (see, church member listening to what your 				
spiritual head tells, instead of the Word of God. Going to happen 				
to you. See?) …which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt 					not eat
of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt 					thou
(live) all the days of thy life;

		(18) 	Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth… (and so on.)

	Now listen, you noticed what He said to the woman, he said to the
woman, "I'll greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception.

47.	Now listen, if you don't understand and see that this woman had a
wrong sex act to bring forth children instead of doing it the way God
wanted to do, which was a spiritual way, then you're saying to me this
morning, if I put my hand in the meat grinder my toes will call off.
You're saying if I pour sulfuric acid in my mouth I'll go blind. You're
saying if someone pokes my eyes out, I won't hear anymore. Because you
have got to suit the penalty to where the adverse action took place. And
there's only one way that children are born and that's through sex. And
so therefore, He cursed that, and that's how it came. Anybody knows
that. She's the tree. 

	So, He says, "I'll fix the conception up, you'll be multiplying and
you'll have a lot of trouble." Oh my God have pity. What if he ate roast
beef, what would He have done to her? (See?) How ridiculous can people
get?  She evidently went right ahead to see the promise of God given to
her was fulfilled to bring forth unto Adam. The penalty proves that she
worked outside the frame work. Now, what we're saying is this: obeying
in a wrong manner, because of unbelief brought death. (See?) 

48.	Now, let's prove what I said, Genesis 1:26-27.  Now:

		(26) 	And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our 					
likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the 					
sea…fowl of the air, over the cattle, over all the earth, over 					
every creeping thing that (creeps) upon the earth.

		(27) 	So God created man (singular) in his own image, in the 					
image of God created he him; male and female created he 						them. (In
one spiritual entity, Adam.)

		(28)	 And God blessed them, (one spiritual creation) and said 					
unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, …				
(but when He put them in a body, He said prune the earth. 						Take
care of the earth.)

	It was while they were one spiritual creation they were told to
multiply. So therefore, the multiplication was not to be by the flesh,
but by the spirit together through the power of God vested in them. They
would act together, but not sexually. Even though they had the physical
means to do it. Women preachers, can be more dedicated than men. More
spiritually anointed, more alert, more everything, and go to hell and
the whole congregation with them preaching the Word of God. Sure, God
said you can't preach. I don't care how good she is. Oh sure, little
lady in town.  Now whether this news reporter defamed this little lady
that had this great healing meeting, I don't know or not, she's got the
biggest in the world I guess. Business men are all flocking after her
anyway. Oh my, does that sound good for them.

49.	Do you know what she said in Toronto? As least she's supposed to
have said, she said, the men wouldn't do it, so, God had to call her.
That's the Business Men said too one time, they said the preachers
wouldn't do it, so we got to do it. You bunch…don't think these people
that follow Bro. Branham, don't think they're not in our midst too. 

	They tell every ordained five-fold ministry brother to shut his mouth
up, while their mouth reminds me of one of those revolving doors caught
in a whirlwind. Some even go around kind of squealing like a cat when a
funny light crosses their faith. I'm not trying to run anybody down,
let's face this thing, come on, bring it out in the open. What's the
matter? 

	Do you think Paul would stand back with that kind of hogwash? Too many
people got hoof and mouth disease, instead of a touch of Almighty God by
the revealed Word. It started back there in the Garden. Sure, you can
bring forth life. She brought it, she proved it. God didn't want it that
way. God's way was by the Spirit. Together by the Holy Ghost it would
have brought children out of the ground. Now, God has to kill them, put
them back in the ground, He'll bring them out of the ground. You know
that's the truth. And those that stand here and have their bodies
changed, he won't tolerate the Kingdom of God. Right! Flesh and blood
cannot inherit the Kingdom of God, and a son of God isn't flesh and
blood. Then if you begin to procreate by flesh and blood, then you got
flesh and blood. (See?) 

50. Now listen, they had the physical means to do it that way. Exactly
what the church has been doing through the Ages, and is doing right now.
Bringing forth children unto themselves and not to Christ the Word. They
are giving birth by corruptible seed to the corrupted children. That's
why God cursed Cain. Peter said, "Being born again not of corruptible
seed, but of the incorruptible by the Word of God which lives and abides
forever," proving you can come either way. That's why at this end time
and through the Ages, you can see these fine beautiful people that
almost are perfect identification to the Word, but they miss the
revelation, and they're lost. (See?) True. Religious or spiritual
experience outside of the revealed Word will fail. (See?) 

	You say, "Look at the experience you've got today." You say, "Is it all
going to fail?" It's got to fail brother/sister, or this Book is a lie.

51.	Now, in the beginning when they were one in spirit the command was
given so the promise of life is spiritual, not physical. Oh, how we love
our big churches today. Oh, we've got our altar calls, and oh the
people…you know, that's the biggest lie in the world. You know what
brings your churches full of people? Sunday School. You want a big
church, get a Sunday School. Get your buses out, bring the kids in. Drag
them up through those, through the processes of Sunday School until they
believe just what you believe. They'll get an experience so called.
Sure, little Daniel will be a sweet little boy, and Johnny be a sweet
little boy. Sure, you can get them at the altar, made a two-fold child
of hell worse than you are.

	Every single person knows that if he knows anything about spiritual
things that the minute any church comes top heavy with Sunday School
it's already backslidden, you show me then a group that's not
backslidden. Challenge you. God down the street here and you'll see all
the buses all lined up around the place bringing in the kids. Oh my, you
want a bunch of gum chewing, gum throwing, you go ahead and have them.
Sunday School is okay if you do it right. You ain't got a couple of baby
sitters take care while the others are in class listening. (See?) 

	You've got to stay with the Word. God doesn't save people by a little
illustration here, illustration there, He saves them by the Word. See,
it's the Word that brings the life, because that's where the life is.
And if they don't have that Word, and they've got something perverted,
then they are under curse children. Because that's what Cain was. (See?)


52.	Now notice, what God wants done must be done in God's own way.
'Church Order'. (See?) God didn't say, "Throw the gifts out, (He said)
put them in order."  Where did Bro. Branham say, "Throw away anything?"
He said, "All the good you keep." 

	Isn't that what the Bible says, "The man had the net, he threw out the
bad and kept the good." We don't throw justification, sanctification and
those things. But, you've to put them through the test. And then if the
day is there that they have ceased, you stay with what hasn't ceased.
For what's the fresh Manna? How many put the church in order? They
should.

53.	Now, I'm going to repeat what I said Wednesday night. Let's see
exactly this unrighteous thing we're talking about, where deception
comes. That people are running into. They want it, they love it. 1 John
3:7, 

		(7) 	Little children, let no man deceive you: (now, right here is 				
	the Garden of Eden. Deception, see?) he that doeth 							righteousness
is righteous, even as he (Jesus) is righteous.

	Now, It says:

		(8) 	He that (commits) sin is of the devil; … (all right, there’s 
					your picture) for the devil sinneth from the beginning…					
(What beginning? This beginning. What we're talking about, 					has to
do with man, in unrighteousness.) …For this purpose 					the Son of
God was manifested, that he might (undo) the 						works of the devil.
(That he may get us right out of this 						miserable mess we're in.)

		(9)	Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed 				
remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of 						God.

	Tells you right here, if you're born of God there's something you will
not do. You won't do, because you can't do it. I like that, I won't do
it, because I can't do it. (See?)   

		(10) 	In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of 		
		the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, 				
neither he that loveth not his brother.

	In other words, it shows you if you don't have this you can't even love
your brother. Oh, you say you do and you may make a good stab at it, so
to speak, but it's feigned love, it's not the real McCoy. No, I don't
care what anybody says.

54.	Now listen, verse 11

		(11) 	For this is the message that (you) heard from (Genesis)…

	That's the only beginning we got that we know anything about. He said,
"Where were you when I formed all these stars and by the stardust and
all? He said where were you?" [Job 38:]   Say, "Forget it, I wasn't
anywhere just keep talking." Now, he illustrates:

		(12) 	Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his 					
brother. … (and why did he kill him? Because his own 						works were
unrighteous. That's what it is, evil, unrighteous)						…and his
brother's (were) righteous. 

	In other words, Cain did an unrighteous thing, and Abel did a righteous
thing. And then because it was righteous God approved it, and the other
was disapproved because it was unrighteous and then Cain got mad and
killed his brother. He slew him because he had done an unrighteous
thing. The killing was not unrighteous, it was the thing that he did was
unrighteous that lead to the hating and the killing. 

55.	All right, let's find it, Genesis 4:2, okay:

		(2)	…Cain a tiller of the (soil, and Abel kept the sheep.)

		(3) 	…in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of 					
the fruit of the ground an offering… (he began to worship 						God.) 

		(4) 	And Abel, also (worshipped God and he) brought the 					
(offering) of (the) flock and the fat thereof. And the LORD 						had
respect unto Abel and to his (worship.)  

		(5) 	But unto Cain and to his (worship) he had (no) respect (at					
all, He said forget it, you're not worshipping Me at all.) And 					Cain
was very (angry, and oh, boy do they get mad when 						you tell them
that.)  

	You talk about the way, Bro. Branham said that toad swelled up, anyway,
he puffed up) (I just changed my language, he puffed up) they ain't
nothing to what these people go through.  

		(6) 	And the LORD said (why are you mad? Why do you take 						that as
an affront, why are you insulted?)

	Now listen, the King James version here does not do the justice to
what's in this actual verse.  

		(7) 	If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? …if thou doest 
				not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, 
				and thou shalt rule over him.

	That is not the real meaning. I'll tell you frankly, I'll prove it to
you. The Septuagint says this: "Thou has offered right to Cain." Did He?
He sure did. The first fruits, is an offering unto God, and you cannot
worship God unless you are first fruit. And unless you understand the 
Resurrection, (or part of It) you don't have a part in It. So, when he
gave the first fruit offering, the offering itself was absolutely right.
He offered right. Now, what does God say? "Yet, thou has not rightly
divided, hath thou not sinned?" 

56.	Let's prove that that's right, 2 Timothy 2:15. See, the whole
Bible's got to verify it. If I make a statement and can't prove it by
one or two places in the Bible, then you don't listen to me. See, I'm
not a prophet. (See?) Not that I want to be, don't ever think I do.

		(15) 	Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that 					
needeth not to be ashamed, (why?) rightly dividing the word 					of
truth.

	Supposing I don't divide that Word right? Then I'm disapproved, I'm
ashamed. Now, you argue with God. Don't argue with me, I'm not about to
argue. And you know what you'll find? God won't argue either. He
wouldn't argue with Cain. He said, "You offered right, sure, your
tongues you spoke in was good, sure, sure, no problem. You pray for the
sick, no problem. No. You had a passion for souls, no problem. You
didn't divide that Word, problem. Can't have you, won't take you."
(See?) 

57.	Let me go further, Hebrews 11:4, 

		(4) 	…Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than 					
Cain, … (then Cain's sacrifice was excellent, or Abel's could 					not
be more excellent.)

	What was the unrighteous thing that Cain did? He attempted to worship
God apart from the correct revelation of the Word of God, and his faith
was not only vain but reprobate. Then he turned to murder his brother.
Had his brother said to Cain, "Buddy, I'm with you on that word, he said
'shake'." Take you right down by a double vanilla, throw a couple of
cherries on top and a chocolate dip. Sure, sure, any day, every time.
"Shake my hand, join my church, glory to God you're one of us." Not me
buddy.

	Abel said, "Look, the sacrifice by blood is first, because no matter
what you do with God, it says within the framework of the Word, or God
rejects it."

	And Cain says, "Then I'll get rid of God, I'll kill you, then He can
accept me, or else." 

	And that's what denominations do. They're out to exterminate. They
propagate apart from the Word of God and bring forth their bastards and
claim their children. But as Bro. Branham said, "Bro. Neville, wait
until we teach on the gifts and set the church in order, and then we'll
know if it's a bastard child, or not."  He said it, I didn't. But, I'm
going to repeat it, because I think anything he said is worth repeating.


58.	Without the right division of the Word our faith is vain, it is
reprobate no matter how           hard we believe, for Jesus said, "In
vain do they worship Me, for having for doctrine the commandments of
men." [Matthew 15:9]

	Or as Bro. Branham said, "Jesus came according to the Word, but not
according to their interpretation of the Word and it's happening again."
It was not their doing that he condemned, but their believing. Once they
had turned down the Word of the hour they were lost. No matter what they
did, they would perish, let them repent all they want. I kind of lashed
out on that last Wednesday, I'm going to hit it again. 

	I don't care what person tries to tell you repentance is other than
what the Bible said, you better shy clear. I don't care if he comes here
in the sweetest forty-eight hours out of twenty-four is. And I don't
care how he tells you what his theory of repentance is, the Bible does
not have a theory, It has a Word. 

59.	Repentance is to change your mind. Cain would not change his mind.
Eve did change her mind. (See?) Now, you can repent a hundred times and
keep changing your mind, and changing your mind, and change your mind,
but unless you change your mind to the Word of God you have not truly
repented unto Eternal Life, you are still lost.

	You say, "Bro. Vayle, I sorrowed for my sins, I repented." You lie,
sorrow is not repentance. The Bible says, "That godly sorrow works
repentance." [2 Corinthians 7:10] Your sorrow is to lead you to it. Yet,
how many people have sorrowed because they're wrong in the Word? Like
the latter rain who grab everything they can and want new revelation,
the happily skip their way to damnation. Coming the closest to what the
world would call reality. Bro. Branham himself said so, so don't worry,
and yet they're the furthest off. Not condemning anybody, because you
didn't hear me mention names. I mentioned that which covered.

60.	Israel died for not believing Who He was. John 8:24, says this:

		(24) 	I said therefore unto you, that (you) shall die in your sins: 		
			if (you) believe not that I am… (not he, but I am, you) shall 				
die in your sins.

	How about those who don't believe right today that Jesus is Jehovah.
The simply think that He's one third of a trinity. The human heart with
his so-called compassion is so apt to go the wrong way. But Jesus stuck
with the Word until It came to what looked like literal abuse in casting
out the money changer, kicking their tables over while they screamed and
scrambled, and fled ki-yi-ing like whipped dogs as he applied the
knotted twine to their backs.

61.	Now, let's get back to 2 Thessalonians 2:9 I don't think that people
would call that love. Bro. Branham said, "Those old Rabbi's showed a lot
more love than Jesus, so-called."

 	2 Thessalonians 2: 9-10, It says:

		(9)	 …whose coming is after the working of Satan with all 					
power and signs and lying wonders,

		(10) 	And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that 				
perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that 						they
might be (damned.) 

	Where does all deceivableness of unrighteousness take place? In them
that perish. They're dead. All deceivableness. All diabolical cunning.
Every trick and argument in the Bible and out of the Bible to take you
away from the prophet's 'Thus Saith the Lord'. Everything that anybody
else can supply in your own minds can supply to take you away. All
deceivableness, all diabolical cunning will take place at the end time.
Perilous days, (see?) in them that perish.

62.	Notice, not him singular, but them, plural. Not the antichrist, but
the people who are deceived by them. Death is in the church, and it
brings forth the prince of death, and it crowns death thinking it is
life, but it's not. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil is right
back in the church. And remember, in the beginning there was only one
knowledge, and it was pure, and became perverted by a smart creature
called Satan using a beast. So, at the end time the same thing will
appear.

	Now, what did they die? Because they receive not the love of the truth.
You know folk, if you love the truth, you might not understand it all,
God knows I sure don't, I've been trying. But if you love it, that's the
thing that counts. If you love what the prophet said. If you love what
the prophet did. And especially you love how he did it. Because you see,
there's two things, it's not got to be only what, it's got to be how.
The word is not just 'what', it's 'how'. And it's also 'where' as you
can also see. You can't mishandle, you can't wrest it, you can't
misinterpret it. (See?) God to stay in the framework.

63.	Now, it's the love of that truth. Now, ask yourself this question:
where did this great deceiver come from? He comes out of them, the
church. (See?) He is one of them, the church. 

	Now listen, just like Judas came out of the Jews and acted like he was
one with Christ. Now listen, where did Judas go to get his authority?
Where do you go to get yours? Oh, they hate that, Bro. Branham said,
Bro. Branham said, Bro. Branham said. Sure, he said he had 'Thus Saith
the Lord'.  Think I'm going to listen to you?  Haw, oh listen, if I
could have Rockefeller's unlimited money if he's still got it, you think
I'm going to worry about a guy with two-bits? [twenty-five cents] You
say, "Well, two-bits is money." Sure, but who needs two-bits, I can get
my hands on billions.

	I don't care if a man raised the dead, has a great ministry. I saw a
man with 'Thus Saith the Lord'. I saw a man challenge him, "I challenge
you bring me twenty-four of your worse cases,  I guarantee healing." 
Three billion people can't do that. So, what should I leave what I know
what is good to get something I'm not so sure of? 

 	I can produce the same thing that the produce, all but raise the dead.
I've seen blind healed, deaf hear and everything else. Cancers healed,
cripples, everything else. I've see all that. I've had my two-bits worth
too. But my two-bits has some alloy in it. My Jesus said come for the
gold, so hallelujah here I come.

64.	Where did Judas go for His authority?  (See?) To the organization.
Our authority is in the Voice of the Son of man revealing messengers, of
which the end time was Bro. Branham. The church produces the antichrist,
and he comes up out of them, because they leave the Word. There could
not be an antichrist system brother/sister, as much as you might think
there would be, except for the end time prophet. The people themselves
produced the beast, because they refused the Word which God revealed by
vindication, and then they go and worship what they call God anyway.
There's your beast theology, read it yourself in Genesis, Thessalonians,
Peter, Isaiah, Bible's full of it, Ezekiel, It's all full of it. Just
like even Cain they do it their own way.

	Now listen, how? They take the provided Word and the provided power and
they pervert the mode to their own ends. Carnal is mixed with spiritual,
and thereby devoid of the Holy Ghost, because the Bible says, "You
cannot compare spiritual and carnal." And when they do it, it proves
like Judas they don't have the Holy Ghost, because Judas acted with
Caiaphas to save the nation when God wanted the nation saved, but
through the Blood of Jesus Christ, not by organization.

65	So, we see we are at the end time. Matthew 24:25, being fulfilled,
which was false Christ's, even lying prophet showing signs and wonders,
which would deceive if able, even the Very Elect. But notice, He said,
"Behold, I told you before."  Where did He tell them before? Matthew 7: 
Notice what He said in Matthew 7:

		(15) 	Beware of false prophets, which come to you in (sheep) 					
clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

	They act like the real five-fold ministry, but they don't stay with the
Word.

		(16) 	(You) shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes 				
of thorns, or figs of thistles?

	Now, he goes from a sheep and a wolf, right to a tree. And what is the
fruit of the tree? There's two trees, Eternal Life, and the knowledge of
good and evil. And It says right here:

		(17)  	(A tree cannot bring forth evil fruit if it's good, and neither
						can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.) 

	Now remember, God never made anything corrupt. There is not one thing
today in this earth that's corrupt by itself. It's what you do with it.
And at the end time they pervert the Word of God, which was vindicated
to the people that It was the Word of God. And Deity was identified as
to Who He was, and they still turned. The dog to its vomit, and the sow
to the wallow. 

66.	Psalms 68:18, now notice, It says:

		(18) 	Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: 			
	thou hast received gifts for men; …

	And right there Paul stopped, and he said, "The five-fold ministry who
use the Word of God will bring the Bride to perfection." But notice in
the next sentence the great prophet said:

		(18)	… yea, for the rebellious also, …(he received gifts.)

	Now, the word 'rebellious' in the Hebrew is translated to the Greek,
it's 'apostate'. And there's no apostasy until the Seventh Age when the
last Message comes forth and they fall away. And when Bro. Branham came
and they turned down the Word of the hour, they all got gifts.

67.	Now, let's find out about gifts, 1 Corinthians 12:27  (just a little
bird's eye view, because we're going fast now. I try to make every
moment count, except when I throw something in between I'm looking for
Scripture.) So, I hope you're catching everything I'm saying. Now
listen: verse 27

		(27) 	…(You) are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 				
	(Everyone different.)

		(28) 	And God hath set some (members) in the church, first apostles, 	
			(second) prophets, (third) teachers, …

	And he stops numbering, or he would have had to say, forth,
evangelists, fifth, pastors. That would have closed it. Without
numbering at all, therefore giving no authority within the church at
all. Right? You missed it, you said, "right." We go over it again. 

	There is no such thing as authority within the church outside of the
five-fold ministry, or which the pastor is the supreme authority within
the local assembly. Paul said, "Obey those that have the rule over you,
who teach to you the Word of God." [Hebrews 13:7] And the rule is in the
five-fold elective ministry. Then God in order to let the church fall
let two other men come in. Elders and deacons who wanted to teach and
preach and help, but their qualification was not the ordained ministry
of God, but they had character qualities and abilities which would get
them by. In there lies the danger, because these are the ones that
stumble the church and bring her to her death. Read your Bibles. When
you read them have a little faith. 

68.	All right listen, he doesn't number anymore, because the number
falls off. Now, he says, "After that comes what?"  

		(28) 	…prophets, (he said) …miracles, gifts of healings, helps, 		
			governments, (and so on.)

	Now, what did they do? They tried to rule the church by gift ministry.
And a man with a gift ministry now invades the pulpit and he says, "This
is my authentication that I'm called of God and you listen." Wrong,
wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong!  That's Matthew 24:24.

	I don't care if the pastor has one sign ever. Although he's bound to
have something to pastor.  He'll be with that Word, because that's what
counts. And if that pastor is true to that Word, and you are true to
that Word, together you will see everything in your midst that you need.
(See?) 

	Now, what have they done, they've made these men with ministries those
that are trying to lead the Bride. Phoenix has more than its share. Of
course, I don't suggest you move one up here to even it out. 

69.	The gifts are not even numbered. So, at the end time the whole thing
becomes one perverted body without one word correctly understood, except
by the Bride. Therefore, there won't be any service, or worship that is
accepted by God except from the Bride. "In vain do you worship Me having
for teaching the doctrines of men." [Matthew 15:9] We are at the end
time. It is almost too late even now. We need to test every word we say,
and every thought we think, and everything we do by the Word which was
revealed by vindication and stick with it until every member, no matter
where he is, begins to walk with God as did Enoch. 

	The great lie has gone forth. The ecumenical move will soon produce
their messiah who will lead them to the pit. That's right. We shall not
surely die, but be changed for the Rapture, is the deceived faith of
millions. Right! That's what Isaiah said, "they're deceived." While
millions more cry out, (that's your Catholics and all, see?) peace is
coming to earth, and the reign of God is starting for we are all
brothers. But, it is all over, the prophet said, "I do not even pray for
America." The truth has been vindicated and the people want the lie, and
will produce the liar and will be destroyed by the very power, the beast
that they create. There you are, right today it's so close.

70.	Don't say they're not worshipping. Don't say they're not living good
lives. Don't say they're not evangelical, they are. Oh yes. Don't tell
me they don’t have some of the Word, they do. Don't tell me they're
out there brawling, (although some so live pretty punk lives) no, they
just look like sheep. Sure, just look like them, but they're wolves.
Yeah. I never knew a wolf ever be-getting anything but wolves. They tell
me you can't trust a dog being bred to a wolf, even generations later
something will come out. That's that police dog. For some reason or
other, he may destroy a baby, or turn on his own master. Yet most police
dogs are beautiful kind sweet animals, but they can be killers.
Perversion. Keep the wolf a wolf, keep the dog a dog. Keep the Bride,
Bride.

	There's only one way you can do brother/sister, and that for the Spirit
of God to come into each life, and each life will know it, as he lines
up with that Word. Remember, it's not for you to produce, it's for you
to believe and receive. And then whatever you attempt to produce whether
it be in a service, or a worship it must be with that Word.

	God forbid brother/sister we open our minds to anything other to what
the prophet said. I've got my library lined with books. I've got lovely
brand new books sitting there, many are expensive volumes. I don't open
one of them, except once in a blue moon, to just check a word in the
Greek, or see something. I want to look something up. Why? Because those
books are not vindicated. Those books don't belong to my hour. I've got
a prophet for the vindicated Word. 

	Let men deny that he was for this day, try to give him to somebody
else, or denounce him, that doesn't bother me any. That's their problem
not mine. They'll fail, I won't fail. Because you see, the Word spoke of
such a man. And then when I see such a man, I know God wouldn't deceive
me, so if I turn away there's only one person trying to deceive me and
that's the devil.

	Remember, they raised him up, because they have left the truth. Any
moment of any hour, of any day, of any week, of any month, then who
knows but it's this year you will see the ecumenical forces come
together. Because the pope hinted, yea he more than hinted, he said, "It
will take a force to unite." And he's a man that can force it. All your
lovely friends out here, they're nice people. 

	The Bible calls them: "Without natural affection, truce breakers,
heady, high-minded, traitors, lovers themselves, pleasures." [2 Timothy
3:] They love their form of worship. To some people who say they are in
this Message, I'm simply a dead theologian. If you people believe that,
I'll never come to your pulpit again. If you cannot be thrilled by the
Word of God, but you've got a tambourine that's stomping time, if that's
what you want, don't call Bro. Vayle. Bro. Green made a terrible
mistake, because I'm not your man. 

	If you can't be thrilled by the wine of revelation, that Word of God
you're not my kind of a disciple. Because there's only one thrill that I
know now, the other didn't do any good. This is going to get me there.
Why? Because it's truth. The other could fall either direction, but this
only goes one place, right back to the heart of God. So, I feel real
good now, now I feel we could shout, but not before. Praise the Lord,
shall we rise and be dismissed.

	All right, let's sing a little song: 'I love Him, I love Him, because
He first loved me.'
