Comments #21 4/30/89-5/14/89 Bro. Lee Vayle Start… Isaiah 62:1 For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest until the righteous thereof go forth as brightness and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. That’s today that we are studying under Shalom if you catch it. And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness; (that’s Matthew 12) and all the kings thy glory. And thou shall be called by a new name which the mouth of the Lord shall name. That’s under the Seven Seals which is under the Seven Thunders. Thou shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. That’s Malachi 3:16. Thou shall no more be termed forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate but thou shall be called Heph-zi-bah and thy land Beulah: which means merry for the Lord delighteth in thee and thy land shall be married. This is the Millennium. For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: You’re back to the land that every man’s got a part of it; and as the bride groom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee. I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silence. Malachi 3:16. And give him no rest till he establish and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth Gandhi is not on the right trail. The pacifist is not on the right trail. The politician is not on the right trail. There’s only one person on the right trail and that’s the Bride that listens to Malachi 3 and Malachi 4 and understands that there is a Word. And the Bible says don’t give God any peace until He brings to pass upon this earth the Millennium. You say, "How do I keep God and His holy angels and those things that’s He’s instituted, give them no peace till He accomplish?" By talking this Message one to another. Your Friday night meetings are important. Everything you think and do is very important. Because here’s how you get established…God help us if we could ever and we will get to this place. There will be a Bride that gets to this place. Somebody’s going to get there. If we’re not, somebody’s going to get there. It's very important for you to keep up your conversation, your talking one to another. Don’t be afraid to do it. And if you got any questions by all means put the questions down and bring them to me. I’ll answer your questions the very best I can. If I can’t, then I’ll tell you. But you see there’s a lot depends on this. You see brother/sister even though God is completely sovereign, within the sovereignty there has to be a people with whom God is sovereignly dealing. So that in His dealings with them and their reciprocation toward Him and their identification, He will bring to pass the glorious promises that are in His Word. Even as God said in a meeting through speaking in tongues and interpretations which tongues were interpreted being French, by the interpreter from the U.N., and French lady in Louisiana. It said because of Brother Branham’s choice which was already sovereignly in the hands of God; but he identifying with it, He said a large portion of heaven awaits you and will bring these things to pass. Do you understand what I’m saying? There is a participation which is not only involuntarily. The involuntary part is already there by sovereignty, the same as faith which is passive. All of these things wait for the activity which is an embracing and a confessing for they embraced and they confessed. Confessing is saying the same thing somebody else has already said. Oh Lord help you; God help us all. I need help up here. You need help down there. But listen, this is the truth of what I’m telling you. There is nothing else outside of what I’m saying because I’m quoting directly from the prophet who is vindicated. What does that mean anyway? The church is so riddled and shot full of antibiotics, shot so full of poison. There’s nothing left. God give us massive shots of the Word. For in the Word is Life. He said, the Words I speak are Spirit and Life and the same One that came down in Revelations 10:1, speaks in Hebrews 12 just at the time of immortality…Millennium…eternality…all those things. Well I’m going to quit because that’s pretty long announcements. I’ve just announced you, concerning the things of the Kingdom. I hope you understand. Some of you won’t understand because, hey you don’t understand this kind of preaching. You’re welcome to sit around and listen and understand. It’s up to you entirely. But I have no fear, no problems as far as He is concerned and I have literally no problems as far as I am concerned understanding what He said by divine revelation. Why? Because it’s never failed to this point. It’s always been backed by a Word of God. 14min46sec…Now he’s talking about you showing your faith by your works. There is a work element that is required by God and Brother Branham spoke about it. Now, last night I mentioned…not casually…but strong as I could…look, stop looking at each other for works and manifestations. Get with the Word and understand that each person that believes the Word that Brother Branham brought…Brother Branham didn’t bring it, God brought it…the channel was William Branham. 18min…But they that are Christ’s have crucified the lusts and the affections there of. Now the word affections doesn’t mean, oh my sympathies and my loves and all that. It means lusts and affections things that affect you; aches and pains and old age and sickness and problems and lack of money or too much money or this or that. Poor Brother Branham was afflicted as a child. He had no friends. Everybody said, "That drunken bum’s son, we’ll have nothing to do with him". Then he got afflicted with too many friends. The afflictions of the righteous are many, in other words exactly what affects you. Now notice when it came to that, Abraham denied his afflictions, what was wrong with him and what was wrong with his wife, what was wrong with anybody. 29min33sec…There are a few instructions given her as she is a wife and a mother, in 1Peter the 3rd chapter which you've read many times. Likewise you wives, be in subjection to your own husbands. Now how far does that subjection go? Look at it. That if any obey not the word. So it's not the husband, it's the Word. And it's not the Word that says, "Wives do everything your husband's say." Because they could be dogs. Be in subjection to your own husband that if any obey not the Word they also may without the Word be won by the behavior of the wives. Then the wife is to so live in the Word being in Christ, that’s her obedience. And she can obey her husband in any other thing as long as it is not against the scripture. I am a little weary of preachers. I’m more than weary of preachers who want to split families, everything else. Let me tell you this, you people, you honor your mother, you honor your father; [or] you will not have a long life. I cannot see anybody going into long life in the Millennium if you are wrong with your parents. Now the point is this. If your parents are horrible people, you can still be good and nice and kind providing and everything else. But you simply don’t go their way. Watch this here. You must be in the Word. A sister must be in the Word. Be in Christ or you’ll never be in the Word. The same as the man will never be in the Word unless he’s in Christ. 40min…You know you young married couples as your children are growing up especially …say in the age of Lloyd and Dave here; you will hear your children say things that they pick up in this Message that are utterly fantastic. Already they have overcome their battle of Armageddon. They don’t have to unlearn a bunch of junk; wood, hay, stubble, creeds, dogmas and tenants. They are brought up on a true Word of God. What a tremendous thing. And the mothers have a fantastic place in it. Don’t sell yourself short. 48min…And what are you supposed to do? You are to gird your loins. Now that was fine for a physical journey. But the spiritual journey is gird up the loins of your mind when repentance has been granted to us. Finally the change of the mind never to be changed again. The Armageddon battle of the mind. You see how scripture lines up every type and every shadow. I don’t care where you turn this Message is perfect. We might not be a perfect people but we got a perfect God and a perfect Word with a perfect understanding and therefore we’re going to be there. That’s why everything in this church is to an end; the dedication of this little baby. We’ll get to it. Now it tells you right here that you are going to be girded for it and we are girded and we’re going to eat in haste. In other words it tells you to gobble up what you are getting. (Bro Vayle says sleepily) “Well I can come to church; or I can do this and this about the Message”. I am glad that there are at least certain people in this church who are so avid for the Word of God to absolutely grab it and to guzzle! I like those words…and to serf (?) it that if I stood up here as a cigar store wooden Indian, God would perform a miracle and make me do something to satisfy your needs. And if I didn’t have that kind of church I would leave. And if Jesus Christ doesn’t have that kind of church, they’re going to get left. I’m laying it on thick but that’s the purpose of the meeting today as in every meeting. 1hr 9min 56sec…So it’s wonderful what God is doing. Sweet Spirit of Christ is going to do what Brother Branham said, and just remember that. I’m not here to tell you that the Son of man is in the church, the Bride and we’re going to do big things. Hogwash. We’re going to receive big things and what we do with them we'll be accountable to God. Just as the world was accountable to God when Brother Branham did the great things that God had set before him. 1hr 11min…I hope I can do something in return because life is a two way street, never forget that as long as you live. Life is a two-way street. Don’t ask for anything you’re not willing to take and give to somebody else. Brother Branham said every gift was for somebody else and I can tell you right now and be honest with you and this may sound very, very crazy coming from me. I know the doctrine, this is all that saves me. But there are people sitting in this congregation who know better what I have taught than I myself know it on the grounds I can’t remember.
