Bro. Lee Vayle

 

12min 37sec…Brother Branham categorically said and he was a prophet
vindicated by God that you only serve God by serving others… and you
can only serve yourself by serving others. Because it’s not just a
matter of do unto others as you would have others do unto you. But how
do you expect people or someone sometime, somewhere or God to do
anything for you, if you’re not doing for others? This is where women
fail so greatly to understand they aren’t called to women’s lib and
to a billion things that they’d like to do, to serve in capacities
they weren’t called to, but the simple serving of the home where God
put them. I‘m not against women being outside the home in many areas
but don’t get me wrong.

You’ve known me well enough to know that I’m not talking about that.
But I’m simply talking about many times a simple service, a glass of
cold water, entertaining strangers which could be actual messenger’s
even angelic beings; Abraham and Sarah slaughtering a calf and preparing
for God Himself. Many people forget that some mundane things, the humble
things of life that we deal with continually and consistently that
therein so many times we want relief. God has actually glamorized them
so that a kind word and a glass of water does not lose its effect.

How much more then the woman who seems to be delegated and relegated to
such a position finds herself in the blessed position that God puts
people, when He said that one is greatest of all who is servant of all.
I believe that Mary Majors qualified for the beatitudes blessed are the
meek. She was merciful. She was not arrogant or domineering. In fact she
seemed very hesitant to ever want her way, to ever suggest anything,
taking a very lowly place. Her interests were of a pure heart and she
stood for the Word of faith when truth was assailed and when it was
assailed. And there was no one there to minister to her she stood her
ground alone with the tapes and whatever help she could get because she
wouldn’t compromise.

She followed after love and was content for the Lord to judge and to
give her guidance and not take matters in her own hands. She stood with
the Word. And let me just say this for this congregation and anyone that
hears this tape because this tape will go out, it’s all being put on
tape. Let me say this for those that do not understand. The Jehovah of
the Old Testament is the Jesus on the new. And many people are very
confused because God said unto a people, go out into the land and
destroy utterly every woman and every child and every man let not one
live. You will destroy them as the avenging angel.

They said but now Jesus said no longer an eye for an eye or a tooth for
a tooth; if your enemy hates you love him and do good. Why? Because God
has stopped a people from judging and from doing in retribution of what
must be done. And God says, "I’ll lift the whole load." “Vengeance
is mine, saith the Lord,. I will repay.” The God who said an eye for
an eye and a tooth for a tooth is the same God and He hasn’t changed
brother/sister. It’s so hard to learn to let things go by. So hard to
learn to just let things drift because God will take care of it all. 

 

19min 17sec… A man drove 2200 miles and asked me a certain question.
And one question was directed to the understanding about Brother Branham
coming back. I said, "Well if he doesn’t come back, ain’t none of us
going to come back."  You say, "Well Brother Vayle, I go beyond that. I
go beyond the prophet. I go straight to God."  You’re a liar; I’m
sorry but you’re just a liar. Because you don’t believe the prophet
in the first place.  You say, "My! Do you mean to say I’d stick my
neck out to fail the complete grace of God because of a man?" Let me ask
you a question honey, Who wrote this Bible? Wasn’t a man wrote it, yet
men did. 

 

 

27min 56sec…  And those today I don’t know how many there are but
there are those who are taking the glamour of Hollywood and they will
live together in what they call, not even companionate marriages anymore
or trial marriages, not even called that. But they simply live together
as boyfriend and girlfriend and they have no problem in the community
and with the law and with the nation or with anybody of bringing forth
children.

It’s not to say that those children are illegitimate. But it is to say
this. Those children would not be accepted of God. How could you bring a
child for dedication? Now in spite of all the divorce in spite of all
the problems, Christ still loves those little children and would bless
them and would help them. But their coming forth is basic to an actual
marriage that God laid out. Now we know any little child could die and
the blood of Jesus Christ no matter what the conditions as Brother
Branham said would positively put them in paradise. But what if they
grow up? Where is the security of any child born under those conditions?
Not that election couldn’t possibly hold but Brother Branham said I
would not believe for one minute an illegitimate child could possibly be
in the Bride. Now we know of course an illegitimate child is definitely
where two parents that are married, one of each one gets together and I
know of cases and you know of cases. The man is fooled he said it is not
my child, the woman says it is and vice-versa; that is a true
illegitimate child. The others are not, but we’re looking at the
picture here.

 

56min…I’d like to talk a little bit and just read something that I
won’t tell you where I got it from and then I’ll tell you when I
read it, and I want to show you something here. It says, "Prayer cannot
change the unalterable truth." That’s right. Now I think Columbus is
the capital of Ohio, and if I was going to write a paper in grade 4 and
I tried to make it St. Paris, all the praying in the world will never
change the fact that it’s not St. Paris. That’s right.

Prayer cannot change the unalterable truth. Nor can prayer alone give us
an understanding of truth. Now that’s right, that’s 100%. You know
who wrote that? Mary Baker Eddy, but she didn’t finish writing.
Let’s read the rest now, "But prayer coupled with the fervent habitual
desire to know and do the will of God will bring us into all truth."
Lies… won’t work. Jesus categorically said there’s no place in you
for the Word. There’s no way you’ll get a revelation. They came to
him and said, "What must we do to do the works of God?" He said, "To do
the works of God is to believe on him whom He has sent." I want you to
look these things over.

Now then people are very happy to announce and to sing, “Holy Spirit
you are welcome in this place”, but don’t bring us anything about
William Branham’s Message. How welcome is the Holy Ghost? I trust
we’re a people who…what we’re trying to do in these services over
the last 7 years I’ve been with you plugging as hard as I can longer
than that. There is only one thing that counts and that is the revealed
Word of Almighty God, which has been vindicated. That is the conduit of
the Holy Spirit and outside of that, God is not welcome in anyplace
where His Word is either in a state of remission, a state of fading out
or it has been altered by lies and creeds and dogmas. God…they can say
anything they want about making God welcome. But when they turn away His
Word, what kind of a welcome is that?

So you see so many things are very clever and the fundamentalist why he
would laugh at that lap that up and say why Mary Baker Eddy she
couldn’t have been half bad at all. She was an insane woman who tried
to burn down her neighbor’s house and the woman in it. I don’t think
that’s a very good recommendation. No matter how wise some of these
things sound, it is always good to know the Word of God said, "If Satan
has transformed himself into an angel of light. It is no mystery. It’s
not something you should even (be) puzzled about that he’s got a lot
of people running around with the same line of lies that he hads." 

 

1hour 9min…Any doctrine that comes into the church…now you can have
your own ideas, but you keep it to yourself. But if your hearts right
between God and me you will have to resign your deaconship, if you
believe anything apart from what I teach. Now that’s because I have to
be that way or there’ll be division and problems in the church. Either
you listen to me or you don’t. Now I’m not the assured voice of
Almighty God but I know where I stand in this Message.
