9/11/88-12/04/88, Bro. Lee Vayle

 

3min 34sec… Now you’ll notice what’s happened in these meetings.
We have consistently preached the doctrine of the vindication theorem
but always going back to the Word. And recently you’ll notice how
it’s been Godhead, Godhead, Godhead, strong emphasis on the Lord. Now
there’s never a time when you can ever preach Christ too much. In His
disincarnation; in His incarnation no matter how you look at it. Now
there can be if you go Jesus Only. You know you get a whole eastern
religion because it is an eastern religion it is not a western…
completely dominated by a cup full of cayenne pepper. And I’ve never
seen a hotter crowd in my life than Jesus Only. They really can rip
things up. Now you just take a tablespoon full of cayenne pepper and
that’ll rip you up. So I’m trying to give you a spiritual picture
here as Brother Branham said, you put it in balance. Everything comes in
balance and that’s what we want to see in this church here is a
balance. Where you get complete justification, the complete
sanctification, the baptism. Understanding these things and especially
there’s a revelation at the end time that tells us Paul praying that
the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him come into
the church which will bring about a Resurrection and Rapture.

It’s tremendously, tremendously important to know these things. As
Brother Branham said, "You’ve got to give the right thing back to
God". And he was preaching on the names of the son; Son of David, Son of
Man, Son of God. Letting us know that there is no response from God
unless there is the accurate and true understanding of that Word. Now
you say just a minute what about those ones that are false and get
anointed. They get everything here, but at the White Throne it is said,
"I never knew you".  So many people don’t realize that God and His
Word are synonymous. The old Jewish Memra was a paraphrase of God. When
you'd say the Word in the prophet; God is in the prophet. If God is in
the prophet, the Word is in the prophet. If God is in this church, the
Word is in this church. If the Word is in this church, God is in this
church. And the understanding at the end time is marvelous really. 

  

6min 30sec…It’s the same with this Message. We do not go overboard
you must never go overboard. People go overboard on healing. They run to
seed on it. They grab this they grab that, but when you’re talking
about Christ and His Word, you’re talking of a wholeness. You’re
talking of a unity; and that unity, now watch I’m saying this, listen
now, if that Word is in us, in us people here, if it's in us, we will be
producing it because it will be producing us. I want to ask you one
question. What produced you in the beginning? The soul which came from
God. You feed that soul, it will bring forth like Brother Branham said.
The Holy Spirit upon a human body is the closest thing to a theophonic
form… the complete being under control. We’ve been talking about
that. I feel good in my soul knowing that God is moving as I’ve never
seen Him in over 50 some years.     

 

14min 25sec… And then on Wednesday again and we’re continuing in our
studies of Melchisedec, trying to cover more ground than we had been
covering and always finding ourselves going back over the same ground.
And there’s a purpose for it, there’s a mighty big reason for it.
For the repetition, because we’ll talk about that in the services…I
get into the message itself. 

 

19min36sec… Brother Branham told my good friend Harold Marconda, when
Harold told him he said, “I’m moving to Tucson for the Word” and
Brother Branham just whirled on him and he said “That’s all you
better move for”. So you better be sure that you believe this is the
place for the Word. If you’re going to move here and that’s
something you got to gauge. I believe we do teach the Word here, but
nobody has any evidence of vindication. 

 

46min 35sec…On Saturday we will be continuing what we were dealing
with in Melchisedec, not a word by word study as we have been doing. And
reading the Message verbatim and then lining it with other scripture and
other Messages Brother Branham brought.

But we been dwelling on words that we have failed to understand many
times what Brother Branham said because his vocabulary was so different
from ours as to the actual meaning of those words in the light of his
understanding, by divine revelation. Whereas we would take those words
and we would view them and we would receive them in the light of our
teaching… if we had any… or simply in the light of what would be a
normal knowledge gained by those very words.

 

51min 15sec…In simple dedication let me read to you. A house in itself
does not make a home. That’s not simply a cliché. That’s been said
by many people a house in itself does not make a home. Neither do
parents and off spring necessarily of themselves make a family. And a
congregation does not necessarily make a body. Thus a congregation and a
building does not necessarily make a church… concerning us. Except
those who attend have one mind as in Ephesians 1:17-18, “the spirit of
wisdom and revelation and knowledge of him” come into the church and
instruct the people. We cannot pass the first test of God as to whether
we can even begin to call ourselves a church.

We speak in terms of the highest order… the church of the Lord Jesus
Christ of whom He is the Head. The true doctrine as identified with
Christ is the Bridal call… 2nd Thessalonians 2 and 1… as Paul said
by our gathering together in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ or by the
Lord Jesus Christ. So the true doctrine as identified with Christ is the
Bridal call of 2ndThessalonians 2:1 which came from 2nd Thessalonians
1:7-10, the descent of the Lord Jesus Christ in the midst of the seven
angels. And this is the descent of Christ in the Shout, 1Thessalonians
4:16. So we are identified in the Bridal call by the gift of the Holy
Ghost in this last hour bringing us a Message which is already been
given. However this Message Bridal call of Matthew 25 which we have
already received, cannot stand only as being accepted that it has come
through a vindicated prophet. But it must be accepted as a revealed
faith that this Word is the conduit of the Holy Ghost. And that by this
Living Word will come forth a renewed mind and a transformed life and a
transfigured body that meets the Lord in the air at the Wedding Supper.
This is our expectation and why we have no other thought but the Word
the prophet gave us.

These people who are part of the Bridal call are of the order of
Melchisedec, whose service to God is actually from God but to others
especially of the household of faith.  And their love from God and of
God is displayed to the brethren with such fervor that the sweet Spirit
of Christ will come into the body and all souls and diseases will be
healed. And will make a people in the image of Christ, one with him and
the Father and with each other so that God becomes all and in all. Now
that sounds like a high order but I’m looking for that. I can look for
nothing less. It can easily be seen that our dedication, is not of a
building as though God would dwell in houses made with hands. It is a
dedication of a body of people who are grateful that God has given them
this place of worship. And since God lives or dwells in His own Word it
is not seemly to fill the church walls with scripture and then leave the
walls of our hearts barren of that same Word. It is only seemly and
praiseworthy to God that we become living epistles read and known of all
men that we are of God.

 And that God which we are known of and know, is not that God of dogma
and creed and organization and a trinity, but literally unknown God as
when they didn’t recognize Him and refused to recognize Him in the
days of Jesus. And Paul declared Him to be unknown in his day. Let it be
known that we worship the God of vindication by manifestation. Who spake
in and through a prophet and we believe in that God and that God only
Who gave us this Word that reveals this God. And this Word stands in
contradistinction to all other word by our belief and we believe that
nothing outside this Word can come to life. 

We are therefore in the eyes of all men heretics, and belong to a cult.
The world says that. But the Word of God says we belong as a virgin
Bride to Jesus Christ. Thus we dedicate ourselves and this building to
God through the Lord Jesus Christ with this purpose in mind. We shall
not; we cannot abandon this Word. You do what you want. But this is what
that church stands for whether you attend or not. And whether you attend
and stand here in hypocrisy, hope so, guess so, we cannot change what we
have said. We shall not, we cannot abandon this Word but instead we have
abandoned ourselves to it. And live or die as Brother Branham said,
“Live or die, sink or swim”, come what may, our faith in God knows
only one door. That is the vindicated and revealed Word by which God
judges all men even Christ Jesus His own Word. Brother Bell would you
pray? 

58min 43sec…I don’t know what Roger would have preached but I’m
sure glad he preached this. And as he said we have no ax to grind. We
don’t have any ax to grind with anybody, but if you got an open mind
you’ll see if something is true. These things don’t happen just by
chance brother/sister. Nothing is by chance. Everything is by God. So
the Lord bless you. You won’t be the same since you came here. You
haven’t got a chance of being the same. You can’t do it. Just as
you’re just an hour and a half to two hours older something has
happened within you. It happens in your mind, it happens in your cells,
you can’t help it. What you can help is this though; as Roger said to
make that decision that the mind is open, much more open and freer to
receive a Word of God. Don’t close your mind. The closed mind
is...what is it? Its the sign of senility. Nobody wants to be senile any
age. Keep your hearts and minds open. That’s the mark of a reality of
a real person. The Lord bless you. 

 

1hr 3min 50sec…And he said that to Fred as he said to sister Hattie,
her name is Mosier of course that she said the right word. Now as far as
saying the right word is concerned, I am of the opinion that even
thinking the right thing will bring it to you. Now for a long time
I’ve been talking about healing from this Message as Brother Branham
said take this Message for your healing. And  as I was going down the
road a few weeks ago and I can tell you exactly where it was, it was on
47 going east into Bellefontaine. I pretty well can know the exact
place. 

I was thinking of the fact that, “Jesus”, Brother Branham said,
“was those Seals”; and then the scripture says, “They crucify to
themselves the Son of God afresh”, which means that somehow Christ the
Word though they cannot get their hands on the Logos, but as Brother
Branham said,“Christ is the Word”; and he brought it down pretty
less to the Rhema, which is the true revelation that comes forth in this
hour, though it be mechanical, it definitely then is enlivened by the
Holy Ghost. And thinking along that line how that once more the life of
Christ, the life coming out of the Word is shed. And thinking in terms
of the healing and the power of God at Pentecost and the power that
followed, I became very, very enthused in my thinking of what a fine
thing it would be to tell you people that and I have had no pain in this
wrist  which was driving me crazy.

 Now what I am going to tell you about that is simply this. That is how
God answers prayer and that’s how you take this Message for your
healing. Now let me tell you. If I had kept in mind the other problems I
had, not the arthritis in here which is like a spur in there. Literally
was…well little Martha would come and you know I love her and it got
to the place I wondered if I could pick her up again because the wrist
was getting increasingly worse. Now had I kept in mind the other
problems which I don’t know what they are. I’ve gone to two
specialists and the last specialist, Dr. (????)…he’s the same one
that Lloyd is going to; he’s making checks on him.

He said, “Man there’s nothing wrong with you.” He said,
“You’re in good shape as a 27 year old person.” And he said,
“You’re in way better health and condition than I’m in.” I said,
“Well what did you think about the blood?”“Well”, he said,
“it’s got to be…the only thing I can see; seeing there’s no
diabetes in your family whatsoever, it could be the way the sugar and
the hemoglobin are reacting and you could get something like that.” So
he said, “That’s all there is to it. You don’t have to see me
anymore.” So I said, “Thank you doctor, I hope you have as good a
health as I have”, ‘cause he told me he didn’t have it. Alright
the other test showed allergic to mildew, that’s where I had the dread
Candida, the yeast condition. Now if I had at that time been bringing
that to the Lord, I would have been healed of that.

Now Brother Pete has a testimony literally identical. The night I
preached on Perfect Faith, he said within himself… he was about ready
to say, “Well Brother Vayle you going to pray for the sick?”, and
just then I said, “Don’t worry I’ll be praying for the sick.”
Pete went home and tested his healing. He shouldn’t a done it. He’s
still doing it; drinking gallons of coffee that would kill a dog.
You’re still good shape…see…good shape feels great. Listen, this
Message heals. Keep it in mind. Keep it upper in your mind because there
is power in the Message that Brother Branham brings. That man didn’t
lie. You just believe it and receive it and begin moving in that realm.
And these things will happen. I have held my heart out and my faith out,
you know, that the Spirit of Christ comes in this building in a
sweetness where the sick are healed there’s no feeble one amongst us.
