1/1/86 to 12/14/86

3min… You know we are living in a day of extreme mysticism… is what
we could call it…very peculiar things. I might not touch this in this
morning but then again I may repeat it. But it just has to do with
healing, just healing alone. Everybody seems to require healing, we all
need healing. And Brother Branham said that he'd like to see that sweet
Spirit of Christ come into the church, the gifts as it were put on the
shelf and everybody be healed. He always prayed that everybody be
healed. Of course that’s a perfect parallel to the ministry of Christ
when he was on earth when there was everybody in meetings healed. I saw
that in Brother Branham’s meetings where he prayed for them and there
wasn’t one that was missed, but let’s just look at this business of
healing and what we see today.

Here is a group of people that are called false prophets and they are on
the scene with genuine gifts of healing and genuine gifts of prophesy
and those ministries which you cannot deny come from God. For many
people say well tongues are of the devil. Tongues are not of the devil
unless it is the devil speaking in tongues. Healing is not of the devil,
there is no way that healing can be of the devil, no way. And prophesy
can be of the devil if you’re going to use a soothsayer, but a genuine
gift of prophesy could be used. And we see a man like Judas; he was born
to that particular end. And God said concerning him…Jesus said,  it
was God in him saying, he said one of you is diablos, one of you is the
devil. And yet he was commissioned to heal the sick to cast out devils
and do many things under an anointing.  Now what I’m trying to drive
at is this, we need healing and healing is of God.  But these men by
genuine gifts and genuine healings; trick the people so therefore
healing is a trick. You follow what I’m saying? So you keep that in
mind it’s a thought that’ll blow your mind. And nobody but us will
understand that. It isn’t that the healing itself is not real, but
brother/sister, when a real thing is used to a deceiving end, then you
have the ultimate of deception. It’s no longer as Brother Branham said
the greatest lie is 99% truth. It is where you see something that is a
100% in itself then used in a manner to take people from the Word which
is exactly what it says in Deuteronomy the 13th chapter. They come with
a sign and a wonder to take you from the Lord. How can we know then what
is the truth? Deuteronomy 18 THUS SAITH THE LORD. So here we have now
the whole plan of God laid bare to be a complete snare to everybody that
everything of God is a complete snare…right? Unless it is ordained to
you through the channels that God ordained that you as an ordained
person by an ordained revelation receive that light and then you know.
So you see how deceitful deception is in this hour? It’s exactly what
I want you to see, God Himself sending strong delusion. So here we are
today as never before to understand that we are a peculiar people. If
what we understand when the prophet is right and I don’t believe that
I’m distending what he said. I merely explain what I understand him to
have said. Of course this always causes trouble with everybody but us.
As Brother Branham said, "They reject my gift, they’ll reject your
gift."  And if you haven’t seen by now, why, what I have is
rejected…if you haven’t seen that…can’t understand it, I don’t
know how many more years I'll have to be with you. It wouldn’t do any
good anyway because you wouldn’t understand. But you've got to
understand these things because this is what it’s all based upon.
It’s based upon genuine gifts all across the board… genuine gifts.
Except in that area where it becomes strictly false because one Word
off. Satan was a genuine prophet until he took that one Word off. Balaam
came on the scene, he was genuine, he went off. And so that’s what
we’re looking at this morning. We’re looking at the ultimate of
deception. And so you keep all these things in mind as you require God
for healing and you come right down to what I told you Brother Branham
said, you take this Message for your healing. And if it comes out of
this Message you know you have the genuine right across the board. If it
doesn’t come out of it, you are in the realm of the great delusion of
God. Why? Because God would have to send strong delusion to believe that
lie because they turned down His manifested Truth even denying or saying
no to the Lord that bought them. Now this is specifically what I wanted
to tell you. This could have gone on a tape, it doesn’t matter. But I
just wanted to let you know that you understand as we speak of these
things that there is a great mystery and the mystery was not known until
this hour, what we’re into. And therefore this is the greatest…as
Brother Branham …the greatest deception that’s ever been known. And
people can say, "Yes it is the Bible, but it’s the wrong man that’s
doing it. Oh yeah, we believe what Lee Vayle says about Presence but you
see it’s that terrible spirit he’s got." Is that a fact? When have I
lied about you? When have I asked you for money? When have I done one
thing off the record? You can’t put your finger on it. I’ve been a
little critical at times, a little sharp. The prophet himself brought
that clean over the pulpit but he said Lee’s a very fine
brother…bosom friend of mine, a little sharp on the trigger. Then he
sort of apologized for it, kind of skimmed it over. Yes I am. I admit it
no problem there. But to be personal, no, we stay with the Word of God. 
So the Lord bless you now and keep you in a good frame of mind to just
keep in this Word, keep your mind right on it, zeroing in. It’s a hard
thing for me to explain to you how it’s done but I can stand here all
day, I can not tell you how a gift operates. There is no way, I can not
tell you.  But I want to tell you one thing; it has to operate
functionally through your mind because God must use your mind. Deep down
in the soul there is a life in there that comes out thought the spirit.
And the mind and the spirit are one together. The mind is that
functional part that brings into a manifestation…not necessarily a
visible manifestation …but it is a mental manifestation to you; like
you seeing something and then that something…I don’t understand it
but all I know is it is suddenly there and there it stands and you know
what that Word says.  I’m not a prophet but I can see where the
prophet could be face to face with God and God talk with that man. And
you couldn’t sway him if you tried because he knows that he is right,
there’s nothing can change it. For as he was vindicated, we are not
vindicated, we need no vindication. We need strictly to stand with that
Word. 

20min 34sec…One little grain of mustard seed faith in one area can
develop and develop until much more comes in. The Word of God is like a
pie its central. Everything in that pie is cut right through the center
which is Christ. Take one doctrine I don’t care who you are and they
can’t deny this; take one doctrine in the Bible and you milk that
doctrine to its extreme limit, you’ll have every other doctrine before
it’s over. You can’t help it, it’s like the ocean water, one drop
and you got the whole thing. 

21min 43sec…In the meantime I want to say how much I have enjoyed
being with you and what a privilege it is to have you. You don’t
really know, I don’t  think, what a privilege it is in my heart and my
mind and to the people here to have you come in here to share your love
and your Christianity, the Spirit of God with us which is a tremendous
thing. And nobody can tell you it, but just do your best to express it
and you believe it because that’s the way its meant from a believing
heart. I wouldn’t tell you this if I didn’t know from my heart and
understand that that’s exactly how I feel. And it’s a tremendous
thing to have you come. It’s a tremendous responsibility. But I trust
in God who made me to this end. There’s been too many indications from
the prophet…in my own life that I was ordained to this end just so
many indications made, I can’t turn it aside. I don’t believe for
one minute I’ll lead you astray or tell you a thing that’s wrong.
But if I do, I’ll have somehow come right behind you and that thing
will be corrected. But I’ve never found one thing I’ve said as
I’ve thought off my own head and off the cuff, that I haven’t found
in those tapes somewhere. Not one thing. And so I believe by the grace
of God we’re not learning anything that is wrong. I got to stand in
the judgment for you and that’s a pretty serious thing but you know
I’m not worried about that. Because I believe that we have the
knowledge, the correct understanding of the Word of God. If I didn’t
believe that I’d go somewhere else. I'd try it.  But you can’t get
through because I believe a certain thing. Nobody can do that. Like many
preachers today who want to keep quoting, "You need a pastor to go to
church and pay your tithes that’ll see you through." I’m with Harold
(Marconda), if any pastor can guarantee to see me through, I’ll quit
preaching now and go sit under him. No brother/sister that’s not the
Word of God that’s a gimmick. Ordained to see you through - that means
he's commanded, he's got a job. Not to pilfer you or not to work on you
but he’s got a job there and I look at [it] that way. 

24min34sec…We’ve been dealing with the strictly doctrinal and
that’s not bad because remember Brother Branham said Christ is the
Seals and Christ is the doctrine. And you have to have a knowledge that
comes from Him and that knowledge is imparted by the Holy Spirit and it
is very evident that the knowledge imparted by the Spirit is the great
thing that God wants done. And at this particular hour it’s not so
much obeying the Word although that’s very very necessary but
obedience to a Word will not get you anywhere, it’s the life of the
Word released in you and that constitutes an obedience that’s far
superior to any obedience that any men have to do this or do that or
other things. See it’s just like the washing of pots and pans did a
good thing for you because…you know…it typed Christ and you’re
suppose to do these various things, that was fine. Well what would
happen in the life of a person who had the Christ that… all this you
were just looking forward to?  Then that’s what we’re looking at
today in this hour. We’re looking at the fact of the Word…the power
of the life of the Word being released in us and folks if that’s not
done, you’re not going to get out of here and I’m not going to get
out of here. Because I don’t care what you and I do with the Word of
God which is fine; it’s what the Word of God does with us. Because
many a man wants to run and he’s disqualified. Many a man wills but
God wants. Many a man wants but God negates. 

31min 09sec…Now let’s go back to Saturday night. I took on
Stewardship. I’ve had just maybe one or two questions. Brother Joe
phoned me we talked a bit about that. But I haven’t had anybody ask
any questions. Now that’s fine but I want you to ask questions. I
covered in 90 minutes which would take roughly 12 to 16 hours preaching
because I didn’t even begin to cover it. I want you to thoroughly
understand where I’m coming from and where we are to go in the realm
of the Spirit in these things. Because believe me it is important as I
stressed. And you can not just sit here and think well I was up late
last night I go ho-hum today. I want you to listen to me and let this go
into your mind down into your heart. What I said was important. We are
getting our training now for the Millennium. You may not think so my
brother/sister but you are wrong in your thinking; I’m telling you the
truth. This is your training ground. Israel was trained to go in under a
prophet and the Word and the Bible distinctly says this great Word that
you have is going to find you in good stead and keep you in that kingdom
there. Now we’re different alright because we’re getting
immortality. But don’t you begin to think vague unspiritual thoughts
about your immortality just because you will be immortal. There’s a
lot going on down here and most people don’t realize that. They
don’t realize that what you’re getting now is where Adam failed; he
got his revelation cut off. He got away from the realm of obedience
under headship of God. We are back under Headship or Brother Branham
lied to us. So therefore what we’re getting today is serious training.
In which is involved in the motivations of our hearts and our minds. So
when I speak this way, I want you to know I’m not just up here talking
as a preacher talks and say, "Well, he’s just preaching and he’s
just bringing something". No, I’m talking about living things that are
eternal to this hour. We’re not talking of anything that is not vital.


48 min… Almost every church I’m in and I haven’t been in too many
but I’ve been in enough to know that immediately I leave that
church’s pulpit having worked with those people continuously the
church dies. And I’m going to tell you why the church dies. I preach
hard, I preach fast and I don’t repeat myself. I start out and I keep
moving, moving, moving and then you move with me. When I first went on
the field the people were 10 years behind me. It got to 4 years it got
to 2 years it got to 4 months to 2 months and right now at this time the
churches like you people are right level in what is being taught. Now if
somebody can not follow me in this pulpit but attempts to do what I am
doing it’ll become a fiasco and a failure because I’ll come back in
6 to 8 weeks…you’re different. But in a normal church and I’m not
boasting I come back 6 to 8 weeks later and I can no more get your
attention than nothing because you’ve learned to go vacant. You just
come to church and sat there, went in one ear and out the other and you
weren’t being fed or something, you weren’t being dynamically
helped. Now I’m not saying nobody can follow me. I’m just saying
what you need and I need is a type of preacher who is not like me. Who
deals with the devotional, the inspirational as I used to on the field
preaching faith. When people’s faith were lifted to the extent,
they’d leave their wheel chairs. They left the meetings healed not
even knowing it where prayers were answered day and night. I do not
extend my energies in that department anymore and I hope you follow me.
But there are men who are in the positive element. And they maintain
that positive element.  

55min 38 sec… Oh I forgot to tell you one thing didn’t I or did I
tell you? Did anyone know that Mel read a book on earthquakes in America
and the safest place in  the whole America  is just 50 miles north of
Dayton just about where we are. Same thing ???? you know why? There’s
bedrock down there. And you know what that represents? The Word of God.
So maybe we can say hey we’re typed.
