Body, Soul, Spirit and Life

Bro. Lee Vayle

June 24, 1987

Shall we pray.  Heavenly Father, we know that You are here, Lord Jesus
Christ, in the form of the Holy Spirit and the Pillar of Fire.  And You
are here to reveal Thyself unto us, to declare Thy great Name, to bring
us into a revelation, Lord, a restoration of Your Word which is vital at
this time, to raise the dead to change mortal to immortality; and then
take a Bride out of here to the Wedding Supper.  We thank You, Lord,
that we know these things.  And You said happy are they who do know
them.  And so we are very privileged, fortunate, blessed people tonight.
 Now as we study your Word, Lord, may You receive honor and glory, may
the Word come forth with clarity and understanding.  And may we know, as
we have not known before, Lord, and may it be such revelation to us,
that it does something within our very souls, oh God, because that’s
what we are looking at tonight.  So we commend ourselves to You in this
hour of teaching.  In Jesus’ Name we pray.  Amen.  You may be seated.

1.	Now, the message tonight is “Body, Soul, Spirit and Life.”  And,
of course, we have been looking at those in the last few messages.  And
I want to read just a couple verses of Scripture for perhaps no other
reason than to simply bring out what we are talking about, in the sense
that it is in the Scriptures.  And we’ll see the--what the mention of
these words in   1 Th 5:23 and Eph 2:4-5.  

	And it says,  [1 Thessalonians 5:]

	 (23)	And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray        
                 		that your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved
blameless                  		unto the coming (or the Presence) of the
Lord Jesus Christ.

  	So that sounds very good--at the time of the Parousia, which will be
the time of the resurrection, the time of the Rapture, the Wedding
Supper; there should be a people who will be sanctified wholly--body,
soul and spirit--absolutely blameless.  Blameless.  No problem there, we
thank God for that unto the Presence of the Lord.

	Then in Eph 2:4 and 5.  

(4)	But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith He      
             		 loved us, 

(5)	When we were dead in sins, hath quickened us (or given us life)     
            together with Christ.  

(6)	And raised us up together, and made us sit in heavenly places       
               		in Christ  Jesus:

Now, Bro. Branham stated that, “Man is a tripartite being.”  Now, he
did not use those exact words, but he used that in the sense of the
exact meaning--“That man is body and soul and spirit.”  And he
placed it in the order which was revealed to him by the Holy Spirit,
that man is body, spirit, and soul. With the spirit being next to the
soul within the body and the soul being the central figure.

2.	Now, man then is a triunity, he is not a trinity.  If he was a
trinity, he would be three  persons.  He is a triunity.  He is one
person which would be a composite of three attributes or constituents,
constituting one man.  So he is triunity of:  a body, a soul, and a
spirit.  And you cannot speak of man as an essential being if one of the
three parts is missing.  Now you must understand that.  He is an
essential being, and every living born person has those three parts. 
And all mankind is born tripartite, even idiots.  Now, you might not
think that, because your theology has kind of been marred over the ages
past, until years a  pretty poor theology today.  But, the fact of the
matter is, that even idiots have a spirit, and a soul as well as a body.
It’s the mind that doesn’t function.  If one part is missing, death
has taken over and he ceases to be a person.

3.	Now we look over here in Job 14:10, get a couple of verses out of
Job.  And we’ll be looking at the 14th chapter, this case the 10th
verse.  

(10)	But man dieth and wasteth away:  yea man giveth up the ghost       
              (that is the spirit), and where is he?

Now with that...  Well, we might as well just make a comment here before
we read on. I’ll read this again. 

(10)	But man dieth, and wasteth away:  yea man giveth up the ghost      
              (or gives up his spirit), and where is he? 

 In other words, you can see the body but the man is gone, really.  So,
he ceases to be a living person.  So we have to be careful here to
realize that when Job talks of this, he is pointing out that in death,
the whole person does not die simply when the body ceases to function
because he says, “Where is he?”

And then in the 12th to 14th verses, the same chapter.  

(12)	So man lieth down, and riseth not:  till the heavens be no more,   
                        they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their
sleep.  

(13)	O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldst keep  
                         me secret, till thy wrath be past, that thou
wouldest appoint me a                         set time, and remember me!
 

(14)	If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed    
                   time will I wait, till my change come.

	

So, here he is talking of the fact that he literally is dead in one area
but he is not dead in the other two areas.  And there will come a time
when the area in which he has ceased to be, will be given back to him;
and then he will be a whole person again.

4.	All right.  In Philippians the 1st chapter, we hear what Paul has to
say about dying, and in the 23rd verse. 

(23)	For I am in a strait betwixt two things, (He said ,”I’ve got a 
                    problem of indecision,”) having a desire to
depart, and to be                         with Christ; which is far
better.  

Now of course, Paul here is telling you the truth of himself, that the
real man, Paul, was simply going to lay down his vessel, his chamber,
his body, his house, and then he would be some place else.  As soon as
there is a cessation of the functioning of one part of the body of the
man himself, there is a change of geography.  That is what we see here.

Just as soon as--like the body could be perfectly healthy and a sudden
blow on the head would cause the body instantly to have a reaction which
would be destructive, the spirit would go first and then the soul would
follow just a little later.  So, there is a change of geography just as
soon as one of the parts is dislocated, put it that way.  The soul and
spirit separate from each other, but both live on.  Now, they separate
from the body and they separate from each other. That’s the soul and
the spirit, but they both live on.  Only the body is inanimate, that’s
the only part of the composite that’s inanimate, and is no longer
recognized as to its functions or part.  But the other two parts are
recognized as to their function and their geography.  The body, the
physical does not have a geography any more.  It is not interesting.

Now, this is seen in the death of Christ who is spoken of as dying.  Yet
we know His spirit went to God and His soul went to Hades (or upper
Sheol) for He said, “Into Thy hands I commend my spirit.”  And it is
said in all the gospels that He died and that He was buried.  

5.	So, let’s go to Luke the 23rd chapter, that’s the best place to
read, and we’ll take  verse 46, I think.  

(46)	And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into  
                thy hands I commend my spirit:  (Now notice, He said,
speaking                  Himself to the Father, “I am talking to you,
God, and I am dis-                  missing a part of me to you.”  You
follow what I’m saying?   We                     must understand this
because this is very vital.)  Into your hands                     I am
commending my spirit: and having thus said, (what happened?)            
      he gave up the spirit.  (The word “ghost” is fine.  Maybe it
should                         be used continuously instead of spirit in
this particular case.  We                        use the word Holy
Spirit, never Holy Ghost.)  So he gave up the                      
ghost.  (That is, He died.)  

Now, notice the spirit went first, then the soul would go, right?  Now,
you understand what we are saying because this is what Brother Branham
taught.

	All right, with it we read 52 and 53.  

(52)	This man went unto Pilate and begged the body of Jesus. (Now,      
                  Jesus must be somewhere, with His soul dismissed and
His body                     going to be taken away.  Okay?)  

(53)	And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a
sepulchre         that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was
laid.  

Furthermore, in Acts 2:31 it says His soul consequently, according to
the Word and by the will of God, was not left in hell and His body did
not see corruption, both of those, which is very unusual and could not
be done except that He was who He was.

6.	It is very evident that though Jesus was dead, as far as the physical
part was concerned, He was very much alive in the spiritual part.  So
notice this in  1 Pet 3:18-21.  

(18)	For Christ also hath once suffered for sins (Now, that’s him in  
                  the body and the spirit there), the just for the
unjust, that He                     might bring us to God, being put to
death in the flesh, but                       quickened by the Spirit. 

 Now, you’re going to see what happens here.  The Spirit of God came
down quickening His soul.) 

Now watch carefully, and see if you can keep up with me--what I’m
thinking before I tell you.  Now I think you should be able to do that
by now.  At least I’m giving you credit for that.  So just keep
listening.

(19)	By which also He went and preached unto the spirits in prison;     
                   (Now His body is in the tomb and He is preaching in
prison to                    the spirits.) 

(20)	Which sometime were disobedient, (and so on and so on.)

7.	Now, the Scripture I read here in 1 Peter 3, is no different from the
Scripture I will now read to you in the book of Luke, chapter 4 and
verse 44.  

(43)	And He said unto them, I must preach the Kingdom of God to         
              other cities also; for therefore am I sent.  

(44)	And He preached in the synagogues of Galilee.  

Now, here He is preaching the same words identical to the Greek.  He is
preaching in a physical place in a physical body.  Now, the same person
without a body and his spirit given to God is preaching in Hades.  Are
you listening?  Okay that’s good, you keep listening.  Thus, it was
never the physical part of Jesus that was doing the preaching.  It was
the soul of Jesus doing the preaching in both cases.  Now ,do you
believe that?  All right, you should--then you would, because you are
following me.  Okay, so you got your answer what I’m asking you to
look for.

He needed a physical body on earth, but not in sheol.  For spirit beings
can communicate with spirit beings, but it takes a physical, you know,
constituent to speak to others who are sensate by reason of physical
attributes, not spiritual attributes.  Because a spirit can see and hear
and think and everything else. It can’t eat.  He’s sensate in his
own way. See?

Now, he evidently did not even need His own spirit in sheol--unless God
sent it down.  Which he could well have done. For His spirit had gone
back to God.  Also, you will notice it says concerning Him in Isaiah 53,
“He poured out His soul unto death.”  So, what was He giving of
Himself, of a tripartite being?  He was giving His soul.  All right, and
in John He said, and he spoke as the good Shepherd, “That He was
giving His soul for the sheep.”  We read that, remember?

You can now see what I’m driving at.  You must be able to see it.  The
centrality of man, the true man, as Bro. Branham showed us, is the soul.
 That’s what we are looking at.  The body and spirit are adjuncts. 
The body and spirit are adjuncts.  And God will take them into
accountability, but the soul is what designates you.

8.	Let’s go now and read something about this.  We will turn first of
all to 1 Pet 1:22.  

(22)	Seeing you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through   
                       the spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren,
(so something has                  happened to the soul.)   

	[1 Peter 2:] 

(25)	For you were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto      
                  the Shepherd and Bishop of your (spirits and bodies as
well as                   your souls.  Doesn’t say that.  Doesn’t
say that.  Says), Shepherd                   and Bishop of your souls.  

	[1 Peter 4:]  

(19)	Wherefore let them suffer according to the will of God, committing 
                   the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as
unto a faithful                  Creator.  (Creation and soul.  But you
want to watch it, it doesn’t                      say the soul was
created.  But the faithful Creator had something                       
in mind in His entire plan.)  

	2 Peter the 2nd chapter and 14.    

(14)	Having eyes full of adultery, that cannot cease from sin;          
            beguiling unstable souls:  

And where did Satan strike at when it came to Adam and Eve?  He struck
at the soul. We’ll get to that later. Struck at the soul, because he
wanted that out of the way. He wanted to do something about the soul.

Okay.  Let’s compare that with James.  Let’s go back to James the
1st chapter, 5-8.  

(5)	If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all   
                 men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be
given him.

(6)	But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering.  For he that wavereth   
                  is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and
tossed.

(7)	For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the
Lord.

(8)	A double (souled) man is unstable in all his ways.  (Doesn’t say  
             minded, says soul.)  [According to Wycliffe & Young’s’
Translation]

So therefore, you can go back and forth in your soul.  Remember what
Bro. Branham said about what’s in the soul?  The power of what? 
“Choice--back and forth.”  Okay.  Unstable souls--haven’t made the
choice.  Has to do with your stability, has to do with your soul.

9.	All right.  Then we go also to Revelation 6.  We could miss this, but
we’ll... 6:9.  

(9)	And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the    
                  souls of them that were slain for the Word of God,
(Never saw                        the spirits and the bodies, he saw the
souls.)  

	All right.  20th chapter of Revelation and the 4th verse, I think.  

(4)	And I saw thrones, and they that sat upon them, and judgment was    
             given unto them:  and I saw the souls of them that were
beheaded             for the witness of Jesus,  

Doesn’t say the body, doesn’t say the spirit, but it does connect it
with the soul, the body.  It was the soul lost his body, and the body
was lost by way of decapitation.

The soul then is the real you.  Now let us think of ourselves.  First we
notice        

Eccl 12:7.

(7)	Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was:  and the spirit  
                 shall return unto God who gave it. 

 It tells you what happens to you.  And Bro. Branham said, “It was
allowed of God, it was not from God, it was not the Holy Spirit, it was
a spirit.”

	Lk 12:20.  

(20)	...this night shall thy soul be required of thee.  (And He said,   
                “Soul, take thine ease, eat, drink and be merry.” 
He was a                      soulish creature, physical soulish, He
wasn’t spiritual minded.)  

	Mt 10:28.  

(28)	And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill    
              the soul:  (See, there’s where your hope lies in having
a soul that                         is free somehow, somewhere to pick
up a spirit, if necessary, I                  don’t know about that,
but to get a new body.)  fear not them                        which kill
the body but are not able to kill the soul: but rather                  
       fear him who is able to destroy both body and soul in Gehenna.   
                        (The lake of fire.)

Here we see exactly as we saw in Christ--the spirit goes to God, the
body goes to the ground, the soul goes to Sheol.  And also, both body
and soul can be annihilated in the Lake of Fire.  Remember, Bro. Branham
says, “It’ll be given a special body that can endure a long time
before annihilation.”  But, it is not so said of the spirit.  It
doesn’t say that.  

10.	So, what are we looking at?  We are looking at exactly Gen 1:26-28
which is a spirit being.  So let’s go back and look at it.  

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

(27)	So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created   
            he him; male and female created he them.

(28)	And he said, Be fruitful, and multiply... and have dominion.       
           (And then forecast they would be eating later on.)

	In Genesis.  Now, He’s a spirit being.  Now watch in Gen 2:7.

(7)	Then God formed man of the dust of the earth, (now he’s called    
                 “man” here) and breathed into his nostrils the
breath of life; and                  man became a living soul.  

Now, here is where Adam, the spirit-being, is clothed in earth.  A
spirit-being clothed in earth.  And Bro. Branham said, “The breath of
God in Gen 2:7 was the spirit of God.”  So, now here He is in this
body.  He’s got a spirit.  And He’s now called a living soul.

11.	But notice , this spirit...  Now, watch carefully:  this spirit was
given only after the body of Adam came forth from the hand of God.  Then
after God breathed spirit into Adam, was Adam alive in flesh.  This does
not say he was not previously alive without flesh, because he previously
was alive without flesh.  He was a true living spirit-being but
evidently only of one part.  And that one part would have to be soul. 
It was soul.  For it says the flesh part was formed after Adam was
created in the image of God which is spirit.  Now watch, it does not say
he was a dead soul that came to life, or came alive, after the spirit
came there, for he was already commanded of God to take charge and
multiply and he communed with God.  So he was living.  So he was
literally a living soul per se; he was not dead.  See?

	So what we see is this: There is a true entity from God that has been
created in the image of God.  His name is Adam.

Now, a body is made and he is encased in it.  Now, a spirit comes into
him and the flesh becomes alive.  And at this point he is identified as
a living soul; though he was previously living, but he is not called
“living soul” until now.  That is zoe.  Understand.  That’s zoe. 
He becomes a part of creation.  He was already here but he was not a
part of this out here, until he himself took a part of it.

12.	That’s just what Jesus did with you and me.  Now watch.  This is
exactly what Bro. Branham said,  “The baby is not alive, it is only
muscles--jumping muscles and jerking nerves until the baby drops down,
and God gives it a spirit and then and then only has the baby life.” 
That’s right.  The baby is not alive only jumping muscles and nerves,
but as it comes forth, God gives it a spirit.  Now, he said, “The
spirit is not God’s spirit, it’s merely allowed of God.”  Then it
too becomes a living soul. Do you follow why Bro. Branham said what he
said?  

	

And  this now is the reason why he could--(and I never could tell you
before because I didn’t know)--why he could tell the Mormon whose baby
was still-born, “You will see it in Heaven.”  Because, it wasn’t a
living soul, it never got that far.  It was a soul and as a soul has an
entity, showing Bro. Branham teaching the truth of pre-existence, which
the Mormons understood, but not in the truth.  This also tells you that
abortion is wrong.  And it’s actually murder.  Now, you must
understand these things, they’ve been going on.  It’s too bad we
didn’t know these things previously.  Might have done some things more
about it.  

13.	So, we learn conclusively that this soul, this gene of God, comes by
natural election.  And this soul is the real man, the real person Bro.
Branham refers to when he says “You were in God, and you were
eternal.”  Neither the spirit you got at birth, or the Holy Spirit
makes you eternal.  You are already eternal.  Your soul is a gene of
God.  You are a gene of God.  These genes are the lost sons of God. 
They are the lost souls--the souls that must be redeemed and brought
back to God.

See?  That is why the spirit can go back to God, do what He wants with
it.  And the soul can go--the body can even go to gases.  But if the
soul has been redeemed, there is nothing that you’re going to miss. 
See?  That’s why like Bro. Branham said, “When you were back there,
you by-passed your theophany, you by-passed a special spirit form that
Jesus had.”  Therefore, he could remember and say, “Give me the
glory I once shared.”  You and I have no recollection of this.  And
it’s strange, but beautifully true, that one day after the Wedding
Supper, perhaps at New Jerusalem or at the Wedding Supper (I don’t
know), when all tears are wiped away, we will have no remembrance of
this.  See?

14.	This is why it is the soul that is reborn, or quickened by God’s
own Holy Spirit, because it is going to be clothed upon eternally.  An
eternal body is necessary for an eternal spirit.  So here is where we
get soul, spirit, body and zoe.  Without the body, it couldn’t be zoe.
 So you see how God had life in Himself.  And the same way we have life
in ourselves, which is our soul, which can literally take and animate
the physical things like dust, and bring them right into the animate. 
Why?  Because it is creating for itself a house to live in.  And there
wouldn’t be anything here tonight except perfect Adam and Eves,
absolutely beautiful in the beauty and the image of God, except that sin
came in and sin must leave its mark in the physical, because it’s in
the soul.  Even so, is when the soul is redeemed and we come back, it
will be perfectly beautiful physical body, the beauty that God knows
what true beauty is.

15.	Here is where we get then body, soul, spirit, zoe or life.  Zoe even
reaching to the physical for immortality.  Zoe was in God and zoe was in
you.  That’s right.  Now watch, when Eve tempted Adam by way of his
flesh, what made the decision to fall?  The decision lay in his soul. 
Why?  Because that was Adam; the soul was Adam.  So, if he made the
decision, it had to be made there.  Animals do not have souls.  Adam and
Eve did.  Now it says, “The day you eat is the day that you die.” 
So, Adam never lived to be 1000, he died.  But did Adam--original Adam
die?  No he did not.  What was his death?  Separation from God.  But did
Adam--original Adam die?  Only in that he was separated from God, but it
was his body that really died, for Adam lived on in upper Sheol awaiting
the first resurrection.  And I believe he’s in it already, somewhere,
I don’t know where they are.  But I believe the scene in heaven in
Revelation tells where they are.

16.	Now, there is a spiritual death called the second death.  And that
is where the soul is annihilated eventually, into Gehenna, an eroding
away of that body which can stand the fires.  Adam does not meet that
penalty because he’s soul.  Why?  Because Adam and Eve did not refuse
the Word of God, but listened to a misinterpretation of it.  Cain
refused absolutely the revelation, even when it was pointed out to him
by God Himself.  Adam and Eve did not refuse a revelation, they
disobeyed a command.  Sure, she got from behind the Word.  The soul of
Adam came from God and fell.  The soul of Cain did not come from God.

It was a hybrid.  He  was hybridized.  And it came from the life of the
serpent mingling the seed with Eve.  So what have you got?  You’ve got
two lives in there.  And when you’ve got the one life, what happened? 
It bred the lower life up to the higher life and therefore a soul came
forth; and it was a hybridized soul.  And there’ll be no such thing,
in my understanding, that hybridized soul will ever be in the presence
of God--it will be annihilated.  “But as in Adam all die, even so all
in Christ are made alive.”

17.	All right.  Now let us go back to Gen 1:11 and 12.

(11)	And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding   
                   seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his
kind, whose seed                              is in itself, upon the
earth:  and it was so.

(12)	And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after    
                        his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose
seed was in itself,                              after his kind:  and
God saw that it was good.  (In other words,                          
this is how God does things.  That’s  just what it says,  “God saw  
                     it was good.”  It simply means this is how God
does  things. God                     saw it was good for us.  It was
good for us.)

	Gen 2: 8 and 9th verses.

(8)	And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there       
                   he put the man whom he had formed.

(9)	And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that     
                is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of
life also in                        the midst of the garden, 

Now it’s a tree.  If it’s a tree it’s going to have fruit.  It’s
got to have something whereby the life can come into a manifestation in
a propagation and multiplication.  It’s got to.  So, the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil was also there.  So therefore it also will
have a life.  And it will have to have a seed in order to bring forth a
manifested propagation of that life.  That’s what you’re looking at.
(Now remember, God said in order the first by deliberately doing Himself
by making a body.)  Now, there’s a Tree of Life in the Garden here
that lets you know that Adam and Eve could have gone up to it and they
could have found a form of propagation which was exactly of God, leading
to immortality.

18.	Okay.  Now, Gen 3:22-24. 

(22)	And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us,     
                     to know good and evil:  and now, lest he put forth
his hand, and                         take also of the tree of life, and
eat, and live for ever:  (In other                        words, the
condition He’s in, become immortal and stay that way                  
          for ever and ever.)

(23)	Therefore the Lord God sent from the garden of Eden, to till the   
             ground from whence he was taken.

(24)	So He drove out the man; and placed at the east of the garden      
                of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned
every                        way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

Now,  here briefly is the story of the seed that carries the life of the
plant or tree which has life in itself.   Now, that’s what you’re
looking at.   It’s not complicated, although to a degree it might be. 
But it’s telling you there is a tree which is emblematic or typical of
life--a stream of life, a life principle or a stream of life.  Okay. 
Likening to a tree.  Then it says there must be a seed that comes forth
in order for that to propagate itself.  And there will be a fruit and
that fruit will bear a seed.  See?  Now, remember that’s exactly what
it says in the Book of Matthew.  We will get to it.

	All right, the tree has a fruit, something you can partake of and
something that identifies the life.  This fruit forms around the seed
that carries the life of the tree.  The fruit does not carry the life. 
It is the seed that carries the life, but the fruit can identify. 
That’s why, “My Word is spirit and life.”  And you can’t get by
it.  The Tree of Life has the fruit encasing the life of the tree in
seed form.  So the life of the tree is in seed form.  No seed, no life,
no fruit.  Good life makes good seed.  Bad life makes bad seed.

19.	Okay, let’s go to Matthew the 12th chapter, 31-42.  Now, this is
when they brought to Him the person that was born that was both dumb and
blind and Christ made him to see.  Then when he saw, the Pharisees said,
“Well that’s the devil.”  And Jesus said, “Okay, you can
blaspheme me now but when the Holy Ghost comes, you blaspheme Him, you
are eternally gone.”

	We’re beginning at verse 31.

(31)	Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy          
             shall be forgiven unto men:  but the blasphemy against the
Holy                   Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

(32)	And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall     
           be forgiven him:  but whosoever speaketh against the Holy
Ghost,                   it’ll never be forgiven him, neither in this
world, neither in the                       world to come.

(33)	Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; (Why?  Because      
            there’s a seed there.  There’s a life there.)  or else
make the tree                   corrupt, and his fruit corrupt:  for the
tree is known by his fruit.

(34)	O generation of vipers, (serpent seed) how can you, being evil,    
             speak good things?  

Now look it, Jesus is not jumping around like a flea on a griddle.  The
human mind doesn’t even, “Duhhhh!”  What’s He talking about? 
He’s talking about these people talking.  Now, He said, “You better
button your lips and shut up, because you speak out of turn, you’re
dead.”  Now, He’s talking therefore of the trees.  And the trees are
doing the talking.  Because, He said, “You’re a bunch of dirty
birds; (He said) you are filthy seed.”  

(34)	O generation of vipers, (you bunch of snakes, you serpent seed,    
                you children of Cain) how can you, being evil, speak
good things?                    for out of the abundance of the heart
the mouth speaketh.   (See,                 that’s your good fruit
now.)  

If you haven’t got the right seed from the right tree, you will never
bring forth the Word of God, you will blaspheme the Holy Ghost.

20.	Oh, I know people don’t believe this.  They’ll never believe
this.  They’re gross.  They’re dead.  They think they are rich,
increased in goods and they got the answers, and they don’t.  See,
they got a form of godliness.  

(35)	A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth    
                good things, (that’s going to be the soul, don’t you
worry) an                       evil man out of the evil treasure
bringeth forth evil things.

(36)     But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, 
                      they shall give account thereof in the day of
judgment.  

In other words, before you tell anybody anything, you better know what
you believe and where you stand and why you are saying it, or shut up. 
Get out.  That’s why Bro. Branham said, “Don’t discuss doctrine,
take them to your pastor for the doctrine.”  (You’re safe up here,
because I hear what’s going on.)  Many people don’t know.  They are
talking, talking, talking--and they’re talking too much.  You can’t
guess.

(37) 	 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou  
               shalt be condemned.  

Now remember Paul says,  “I want--the word is parhesia--which is
boldness or freedom of speech on the day of judgment.  I want to be able
to stand there.”  When Bro. Branham was up there in that vision, or
whatever he was in, that dimension, he said “I preach what Paul
preached.”  And they screamed, “We’re banking on that,” or
we’re depending on that.  See?  That’s what you’re looking at. 
So, watch what we are talking about here.  We’re talking about the
tree; we are talking about a seed; we are talking about a life.  So,
good seed makes wheat; bad seed makes tares.  Bad seed makes bad fruit;
good seed makes good fruit.

21.	Okay?  Now remember Matthew 12 is preached after the warning in
Matthew 7.  Now, let’s go back to Matthew 7.  

(15)	Beware of false prophets.  (Now what are prophets about?  Word. 
Prophets purport to receive a revelation from God concerning His        
          Word and Himself.  Now, they are false) which come unto you in
           sheep’s clothing, (In other words, they have every one of
the                     trappings of a Christian.)  inwardly (within the
soul) they are                    ravening wolves.  

I want to ask you.  When Cain killed Abel, who is Cain?  Is he the body,
is he the spirit, or is he the soul?  He’s the soul.  The spirit’s
entirely apart from him.  And what’s in him already made a body which
will come up in the resurrection fit for the lake of Fire.  Abel’s
body already had within it, by the gene of God, what will fit him for
the resurrection of eternal life.

22.	Now,

(16)	You know them by their fruits.  Do men gather grapes of thorns,    
            or figs of thistles?  (Now right here he is talking about
animals               producing fruit.  You think an animal would
produce wool or a                 skin.)  

(17)	 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt  
               tree bringeth forth evil fruit.  (Now He’s talking
about false                    prophets. So therefore the fruit will be
the fruit of their lips.)

(18) 	A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt
tree            bring forth good fruit.  

(19)	 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and   
               cast into the fire.  (Why?  Because, He wants to get rid
of the life                     that is in the seed that’s manifested
on a fruit basis.  See?)  

(20) 	Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.  

(21) 	Not every one that saith, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom
                    of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father
which is in                heaven. (In other words, everybody that comes
in the name of                     the Lord is not necessarily a child
of God.  Everyone that has                miracles is not so.)

Look what’s going on now with the Bakker’s and the Falwell’s.  I
think Falwell’s a bigger skunk than Bakker.  And it’s going to be
proven.  Yes sir.  Illegitimate Baptist if there ever was one.  Shows
exactly what he was.  Running to so-call help a man to take everything
he had.  You talk about a bunch of thieves.  We’re getting pretty
close to where the government’s going to say, “Okay, preachers,
police yourselves.”  We don’t want to do it, you even got to watch
out.  Doctors, you--you police yourself, lawyers you police yourself,
teachers you police yourself; now preachers you do it.  There’s a big
union coming up and it’s right outside the door.  It’s not far off,
brother/sister.  One of these days, zip, and the covers right off. 
Because, they’re not going to stand for this, don’t worry.  And the
church won’t stand for I, because the Roman Catholic church is in bad
shape, too.  They’re all in bad shape.  See?

23.	Now he said here, “They’re even going to do wonders.”  But
He’s talking about what is said.  So, that’s what we’re looking at
here.  We’re looking at that life.  And that life is a seed--spirit
and life.  See?  Christ mentions that.  The sower went forth to sow; He
sowed the Word.  You put the two together--that’s what we are looking
at.  See?

Now, so we find that good seed brings forth good fruit.  Now remember,
you are not looking at manifestation.  You are not looking at nice,
nice; fine, fine; good, good, lovely, lovely; although that’s fine. 
Wolves in sheep clothing signifies that every manifestation, except
what’s from the inside which is manifested by words, is what you are
looking at.  See?  Now what kind of  word did Cain have?  Interpretation
on his own by the devil.  And that’s what brought him forth, and
brought him forth by Eve, because the human race had to be defiled.

Now Christ is the firstfruit.  “In the beginning was the Word.  The
Word was with God.  And the Word was made flesh.”  So firstly, in
there you see a life.  You see a seed and you see a Word coming forth,
indicating and vindicating that He was the life of God manifested. 
Positively.  He is the good fruit.  (End of side 1).  

24.	Now, we having the same life as Jesus, over here in Hebrews, we
showed you that last week, or whatever time it was.  The 2nd chapter. 
Let’s look at it.  

(9)	But we see Jesus, (we) who was made a little lower than the angels  
                  for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and
honour; that he               by the grace of God should taste death for
every (son.)  

(10)	 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all   
                   things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the
captain of              their salvation perfect through sufferings.  

Now watch. “That He by the grace of God should taste death for every
man.  For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all
things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their
salvation perfect through sufferings.”  

25.	Now Paul, in every other book, says God created the worlds by Christ
Jesus.  Right here he said God alone did it.  There’s your great
mystery, the tough one:  How that God always was in Christ doing these
things.  God always in the anointing.  But it was God.  Jesus the man
never did one miracle, never prophesied one thing that came to pass.  No
sir.  God was in Christ.

Now, this one here, God makes the captain of our salvation perfect
through sufferings.  

(11)	For both He that sanctifieth, and they who are sanctified are all  
                of one:  (Now the sanctification comes in Christ).  for
which cause                 He is not ashamed to call them brethren,
(that’s Jesus.) 

(12)	Saying I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of   
           the church will I sing praise unto thee.  

(13) 	 And, again, I will put my trust in Him.  And again, Behold I and 
                    the children which God hath given me.  

(14)	Forasmuch then as the children of (God by-pass their theophonic    
                body and) partake of flesh and blood, he (laid aside his
glory and                    came down and became also flesh and blood,)
(but not like ours--                    He wasn’t serpent seed or a
thing to do with it.  It was the creative                 power of God
that brought forth that blood in there.  See?) that                
through death He might bring to nothing him that had the power          
           of death, that is, the devil; (The power of death means the
one                 wherein lies death and deception and destruction. 
God doesn’t                     have that in Him.  There’s life in
Him.  See?)

26.	All right.  Here you see then we are of the same source.  Now,
He’s the great seed.  We are little seeds.  See?  Christ is the seed
of God, the Bible teaches that.  And He bore fruit, He fulfilled the
Word.  We are seeds also, and we will bear the true fruit of the Word
which is the testimony to the revelation of it.

We will not be one bit different from the rest of those out there.  In
fact Bro. Branham said,  “The love of the Christian Scientist will put
us in the shade a thousand times.”  And he said,  “The mule will
outwork the horse any day.  And the false anointed will look a thousand
times better than the true anointed.”  So don’t start looking for
anything but what you are looking for here.  Because, if you are looking
beyond that, you are still messed up in your souls.  Your minds
haven’t been straightened out.  Now, I don’t want to yell at you,
but look, I stand in doubt sometimes about people.  Because it’s so
simple, I don’t think they’re getting it.  Because I marvel
myself--can this be it?  This is it.  If you’ve got a creative life,
it will create.  If you’re a bamboozer at heart, you’ll bamboozle. 
If you got a licentious  rotten spirit upon you, that’s what you’ll
go for.  But there’s hope for you in Christ.

Sure, there’ll be a fight.  But you’ll never be fooled on this Word
beause that’s the crux of it.  “In the beginning was the Word.” 
See?  In other words, God at that time began to express Himself.

27.	Now, what we’re looking at here is, we come to the time of our
expression, because God wants to express Himself in us.  We are seed
also and we bear the true fruit of the Word.  Absolutely.  The
differentiation lies, as we have spoken, in Matthew 7, and in Matthew
12.  And don’t try to take it any other direction.  If you do you’re
going to get messed up.  Why?  Because that’s the direction Jesus took
it and He’s here now in the form of the Pillar of Fire; and talked to
a prophet, did the same thing and said the same thing.  I knew Bro.
Branham would have to come to Matthew 7 long before he preached it. 
There’s no way he cannot tell us--that is the Word test.  And he did
it under false anointing.

You say that you think you’re way ahead of the prophet?  I’m way
ahead of nobody.  But when he gives me a precept, my God, I should be
able to know what the precept means.  I don’t need Bro. Branham here
every minute.  His work is over, his work was done.  As soon as he
brought something to our attention, the Holy Ghost can step right in and
give us point after point after point.  He is not here to break
everything down.  Don’t understand some preachers and some people,
don’t want to do anything but play tapes, or this or that or the other
thing.  He said, “Break it down.”  I’d feel terrible at the White
Throne day, if I held back something from you people that I thought was
vital to you.  And the vitality lies here.  This is what has been
restored.  See?

28.	It was the wrong word that took Eve away in Genesis 3.  It was the
wrong word that took the Bride away--in 2 Corinthians 11.  The only way
to get her back is by the right Word.  Look, if you’re missing your
teeth and you want to chew, you’d better get new teeth.  Well I’ll
go down, bless God, my ankle hurts, I get a wooden leg.  If you can eat
meat with a wooden leg, be my guest, hallelujah!  I’ll fit you up with
earrings.  That might help you, too.  You see how stupid you can get
when you start getting off the word.  Just bring her right back into
nature here, everything runs in continuity.  See?

Before there was that soul which is spirit life, what was before it? 
God’s great eternal life and His what?  Omniscience.  Now, He begins
to move into it.  So I hope you’re beginning to see these things.  I
know I like Bro. Branham said, “You can’t express it all too great,
but I’m doing my best.”

29.	All right.  Let’s try to close off in a little while here by going
to go back to Genesis the 3rd chapter and 23-24.   

(23)	Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the Garden of Eden,     
                to till the ground from whence he was taken.  

In other words, you’re out here working all the time in this milieu
out here.  Because you weren’t taken from the Garden of Eden your body
was not taken from the righteous government of God, the soul was, but
the body wasn’t. See?  

	Now,

(24)	So He drove out the man; and He placed at the east of the Garden   
                    of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned
every way,                    to keep the way of the tree of life.  

All right.  Eden was now guarded so man can’t have another Eden, or
God’s government on earth, until the two parts of the first
resurrection are over, until it’s time for immortality, for the last
kingdom is set forth in Dan 2:44, 45.  For it says, “At the end of the
4th kingdom the stone made without hands comes down from the mountain
and crushes everything.”

So that’s what we’re looking at.  Now, that’s this hour now;
restored Babylon.

30.	Okay, let’s go to 1 Cor 15:38.  Because, that’s where we talk
about the present hour of the seed--that’s when the Presence is on. 
All right, 38.   Let’s read first 37.

(37)	And that which thou sowest, thou sow not that body which shall     
             be, but bare grain, 

Now what you’re looking at here is a bare grain containing a life. 
See?  And unless you ever saw the body that’s in that grain, that that
grain produces, you could not identify the grain.  See?  That’s why we
can only identify Christ, not even by the Pillar of Fire, but by the
works.  What’s a Pillar of Fire?  Doesn’t tell you anything, just
scares you.  See?  Have to talk to you and tell you something.  Now you
sow not the body, but it bare grain.

(37)	... it may chance of wheat, or some other grain:

(38)	But God gives it a body as it had pleased him, and to every seed   
                 His own body.  

Now ,notice what he says here.  He switches from grain to seed.  The
ripening grain lies in the sun.  You and I are lying in the Presence of
God.  Why?  Because, there is a seed in us; and the seed is the seed of
God.  It’s the gene of God.  It’s the soul.  Now, notice what I
said:  grain--seed--body.  Now you’re looked at now as...  Because
you’re looking to resurrection, Now, try to follow me--you are looking
for a glorified body.  You are now not a body, you are a grain; and in
the grain is a seed, is a soul that has been duly fertilized by God. 
And Bro. Branham said, if any seed is duly fertilized, all it takes is
sun and rain.  All right now, the seed of God and the life of God has
come upon it, making your soul entirely of God.

31.	Now you’re considered a grain.  Now, if you were to die this grain
evaporates, disintegrates.  And the life in there, called a seed, will
bring forth another plant.  So that’s what you’re looking at right
now.  You are looking for all those that went down and the seed left the
grain, so to speak, so a new body can come up.  Now, we are in a grain
and in this grain now has got to come forth a new body.  “In a moment
in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump,” a sweep goes over us
after the second part of the first resurrection takes place and we see
these people come out of the ground or come out before us.

So, you see what you’re looking at.  You are now in the sight of God a
grain, not a body, though you do have a body.  But you’re looking
forward now to the body, which is the body of the resurrection.  And
that is formed around the life that is within you by the rain and the
sun, by the constant looking at this Word to see the Christ that is to
be revealed.  And when every creed and dogma is gone and you begin to
see what the prophet taught, and I believe what we’re teaching here
and understanding here, then you are coming to the place where you will
put on the same glorious body that He put on, because His was changed. 
He said, handle me and see, a spirit hath not flesh and bone, didn’t
say flesh and blood, now He said flesh and bone.  You will not have
blood, you won’t need it.  See?  Won’t need heat and cold and all
that kind of stuff.

32.	All right, now,  [I Corinthians 15:]

(39)	All flesh is not the same flesh:

	Then He says here,

(42)	It is sown also as a resurrection of the dead.  It is sown in      
            corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

(43)	It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in
weakness;                it is raised in power:

(44)	It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.  There   
                             is a natural body, there is a spiritual
body.

(45)	And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul;   
                the last Adam was a quickening spirit. 

 Why?  ,d, united to God.  And now we have within us what will bring us
the glorified body, which we didn’t have before, because Adam messed
it up.  No one in Adam could come forth, no way, shape and form they
couldn’t come forth.  They’d be disembodied men; women.  But now
under Christ we can have it.

	Okay,

(47)	The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord  
                   from Heaven.  (That’s right, Adam was made outside
the Garden.                 Christ was made in the Garden.  Oh sure.)

(48)	As is the earthy, such are they that are earthy:  and as the
heavenly,                such are they that are heavenly.  

(49)	(And so therefore) as we have borne the image of the earthy, we    
              shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

33.	You see right now this grain is in the image, has brought forth the
image of the earthy.  But now it’s going to bring forth in the true
image.  In other words, it’s going to be an exact image of Christ; not
Jesus Christ, but an image; lots of little Christ's, so to speak, but in
His image.  We won’t be on the throne up there, sitting up there and
He’s on  the throne.  We’ll be before the throne.  See?

(50)	Now I say, brethren, flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom    
             of God; neither corruption incorruption.  (See, now he’s
telling                you, you’re going to have to get rid of the
blood.)

(51)	But I show you a mystery; We shall not all (have to die,) but      
          we’re all going to get changed,

(52)	In a moment, (in the atoms, suddenly,) twinkling of an eye,)at the 
                 last age message:)  (And now listen, he warns you) for
the trumpet                shall sound,

  Oh, nobody believes the trumpet of Rev 10:7 is sounding.  No.  They
know it’s in the Bible; they know Elijah’s got to come.  But they
don’t believe it.  “Oh, they don’t care about that; they’re
denying it.”  Oh, who needs the end time trumpet, who needs it? 
Listen, I’m going to tell you, this trumpet here is not the 7th
trumpet under the vials, or under the great plagues, under the 6th seal,
it’s certainly not.  It is another one.  Because we better be out of
here by that time. 

(53)	(It’s under that, that )corruptibility puts on incorruptibility; 
                   and mortal, immortality.  

It’s under the end-time messenger, brother/sister.  And what is that
man?  He is a prophet.  What does he got to do with? Word!  What does
that Word got to do--the word of immortality at this point?  And if you
weren’t seed, if you didn’t have the right soul, you’d never get
it.

(54)	So when this corruptibility shall have put on incorruptibility, and
this mortal put on immortality, then it’ll be brought to pass the
saying that, Death is swallowed up in victory.

(55)	O death where is thy sting?  O death where is thy victory?

(56)	The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. 

 What is the law?  “Appointed unto man once to die and after that the
judgment.” That law is gone, set aside in Christ Jesus.

Now, from the other message and this one, I hope we are receiving a
deeper revelation of where we came from and who we are, and the hour and
events of this present generation.

34.	It is time to see 2 Cor 3:18 in the light of a true seed life in the
grain, that is about to bring forth that body that shall be even an
immortal one.  Let’s just take a look at it.  2 Corinthians the 3rd
chapter, now it tells you right here at the hour, the end formed the
grain.  And remember we’re looking for a body.  So, we’re not
looking at this body.  This body we don’t want.  So, we are reduced to
a grain; and the grain lying in the sun.  Watch it lie in the sun:

(17)	Now the Lord is that spirit, and where the spirit of the Lord is,  
              there is liberty.  (The prophet’s got to cut away all
the veils.)

(18)	But we all, with open face (unveiled) beholding as in a glass the  
               glory of the Lord ,

Now, you know, as well as I do, when you look in a mirror, what you see
is yourself.  But, you are looking in the mirror of the Word.  So
therefore, now you see yourself fully identified with Christ.  Now,
that’s the beautiful part of it.  And that’s the hard part too.)

(18)	... and are changed into the same image from glory to glory,       
                     		by the Spirit of the Lord.  

Now, that couldn’t happen, brother/sister, under the baptism with the
Holy Ghost, let’s face it.  There’s no way.  It’s got to happen
when He Himself came down, just as He did in human flesh.  It’s the
same thing, cutting away all of this, so that we seeing Him, and
that’s Ephesians 1, will go to the glory.  And there is a ministry
that does it.

35.	Okay, just a second on that.  Ephesians 1:

(17)	(But) the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory,       
                  may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation
in the                 knowledge of Him.

(18)	The eyes of your understanding being enlightened... (Now,          
                how’s He going to do it?  Cut down every creed and
dogma                       and remove every veil by the Spirit) and at
that time you will                     know the hope of His calling.

  And what’s the hope of His calling? What was He called for?  To
bring forth many sons and you will be a part of it as part of the
adoption, part of the manifestation.  It’s all here right in our laps,
brother/sister, there’s no place else to look for it.  He’s going to
bring forth that body, even the immortal one.

Now, so therefore, as we have read in 1 Cor 15:37, 38, we are now sowing
our grain bodies to death, and then a resurrection.  Other people
they’re dying all around here, we are sowing ours to what?  Just the
past age.  Sowing it, just letting it ready to let it go.  And out of it
will come forth the new one.  See?  People sing that song, “This robe
of flesh will drop and rise.”  You aren’t going to drop it at all,
not in my understanding, you’re going to get changed right now,
standing here.  Disembodied spirits aren’t going to go up there.  No. 
You’re going to be fully clothed.  You’re going to be there. 

36.	So here we see tonight, the best I can teach it under the conditions
which I teach, which means I am not a prophet; you can see Body, Soul,
Spirit, Zoe.  Now, what am I trying to bring you to, always with Zoe? 
The fact is, you and I, according to the truth of the Word of God,
cannot look for any other true eventuality or true goal, or true end or
attainment, other than what God has set forth.  Which is to be here
under new and perfect geographical conditions, spiritual conditions, and
we ourselves a part of it.  And if you have any hope other than that,
there is something wrong with your--with your salvation.  And I realize
there’s something wrong with all of our salvation at this point,
because we haven’t gone far enough and deep enough.  But if you
realize, as Bro. Branham said, they are anxious to get back here. 
Therefore, our anxiety is not to go there.  Our anxiety is to get them
back here, and we with them.  And that’s in this hour.

37.	So we’re looking for it, brother/sister, I am looking for it.  I
see the changes come, coming faster and faster.  I’m convinced that
every year is a great memorial year.  But strange, I feel that ‘87,
just about half gone now, is a big year for some reason, for some
description.  What I have been told, (and I could have been told the
truth, I don’t know, for the person himself doesn’t know for sure,
just knows what has been said) but I can see that the Catholic Church is
pulling a sneak attack on the banks.  And if what I hear is true,
you’ll be back on the gold standard and won’t even know it.  The
Catholic Church will own it all.  You won’t move, you won’t go one
way.  

I’ll tell you...did you know a prophet was coming?  Did you know him
when you saw him?  Did you understand the events that took place?  No. 
You only learned after the fact.  And always we learn after the fact,
and that is perfectly legitimate. I have no problem with it as long as
we learn.  And if we are fortified, it doesn’t matter how many things
we learn after the fact, as long as we are fortified in the inner man
that we can cope with all of these things.

But it certainly, I know this--that things are happening.  This did not
happen in vain.  We must begin to elevate our sights, raise our
spiritual perceptions, which would be, as Bro. Branham said, grain
ripening in the sun.  Why?  Because, we’re called grain now.  Do you
know why?  Because there’s a life there coming into a new body.  You
don’t look at bodies any more.  I hope you’re past that stage.  I
hope I am too.  Wouldn’t it be nice to see everybody as grain.

38.	Right now you can tell me--well you say, “There he is he’s
losing his hair, most of his upper teeth are just about all gone, slaps
in some chompers.”  Right. “When he gets thin his nose gets more
pronounced. All these things, you can tell his eyesight’s failing,
wears glasses, hears pretty good; but we know he’s going downhill.” 
Looking at the body.  Why not look at a grain for a change?  I’m not
talking about me, I’m talking about all of us now, knowing that in the
grain is a life.  And the more that you dry out of this grain, the more
that life has to be ready for its true planting which is going to
be...not that we leave this bodies, like that life coming to this new
body as they come out of the earth.  Or what do you know?  Just that’s
the expression.

Bro. Branham said, “God is going to create again--not by sex but an
act of creation, take the… calcium, the potash, and he used petroleum,
cosmic light.”  I don’t know what’s all in there; but he--he
likely did know what he was talking about what’s in there. God will
create again.

But in here now, drying out.  See?  That means squeezing all this other
life away so that life will bring forth its body.  It’s not going to
bring forth supermen.  Kids, don’t ever think, little children,
you’re going to be super, super, super.  That’s latter rain,
Pentecostal hogwash.  You will be super, super, super race but not the
way the theologian and the believers out there have it pegged.  Because
Bro. Branham said,  “It was a super, super, super race approaching
unto Christ.”  It’s going on now.

The Lord bless you.  Let’s rise and be dismissed.     

Gracious Heavenly Father, we thank You again for Your kindness and mercy
to us to bring us together to see this Word which, Lord, we know it
exhilarates us in one way, another way we know it has not exhilarated us
enough.  But, Lord, we know this, putting all the--the life together in
Your Word, getting closer and plainer and plainer, one of these days,
Lord, whatever we have set our hearts to buy, the life of the Holy
Spirit leading and guiding us, is going to come into full revelation. 
And that which does not, Lord, then we do not need, because we’ll need
it, if we do need it, in another area.

And we thank You, Lord, for this which You have given us.  For now we
know that we have this, Lord, and it is being manifest in us by reason
of revelation.  And one day, Lord, we know we’re going to see the dead
come up before us, and they will be telling us those things of the other
side.  Be so happy to get back here in a glorified form; Eden forming on
earth as it is right now under the 7th seal.  Thunders will all come
forth, Lord.  

Oh God, how wonderful it is!  Help us, Lord, to just revel in this as
our life, Lord, and until it’s absolutely contagious.  And we, Lord,
as one golden grain in one garner, recognize one head, loving Him; and
His love setting us on fire to love Him back as never before, and to
love each other, walking in the light, the Blood cleansing.  And then
getting out of here.

Father, we know this is that hour.  And we say, lord, humbly and
sincerely, with little bit of longing in our hearts that make us wonder.
 We can’t prove anything that we are that.  But we can say with the
prophet, “We know if we are not Bride, there is a Bride out there
somewhere.”  And by the grace of God, there’s no way we’ll stand
in the way, because nobody’s going to do it anyway.  But help us to be
such, Lord, that no one can say well, you were a hindrance to me.  We
want to clear that all up--get all things ironed out, everything ready
for the great Wedding Supper.

And 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. 

 ‘Take the Name of Jesus with you.’
