Comments # 22 5/31/89-8/6/89 Bro. Lee Vayle 26 min… (Bro Vayle had been talking about Father’s Day and Mother’s Day how commercialism has taken it all)…But there’s a real Father’s Day. And a real Father’s Day is when we say ‘God be our guide.' And we know there’s only One can do it; that’s Elijah the prophet to turn our hearts by vindication to know we have heard from God and we’re led by God. And you’re not led by some little thing that anybody can duplicate or the devil can duplicate because believe me I want to tell you brother/sister, I say it again, if any Pentecostal or anybody can come in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ with ‘Thus saith the Lord’ the kingdom of God is not only divided, it is shot. I’m so happy today that we got a Mother’s Day and a Father’s Day that is in the scripture that is in the Holy Spirit and the sisters can type the beautiful bride of the Lord Jesus Christ and the men can type the great Lord Jesus Christ Himself as that Groom and coming together on days of Father’s Day; Mother’s Day really understanding what it’s about. Why you can really glorify the Lord. So we got a real Father’s Day here today because we know who our Father is. 27min 31sec…You’re born again this morning, you’re a real father because you sit here with a real typing of God. Every woman that’s a mother sits here absolutely with a real typing of that perfect virgin Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ that brings forth literally. One day it’s going to bring Him down here in flesh. So there you are. Something to rejoice about something to see in all these things as we turn your mind to the Word and away from the crass interpretation and folly of this earth that’s in the churches. Praise God, I’m happy to be independent of everybody but the Lord. The more we get independent of the world and the churches and all these things and get thoroughly dependent upon God through His manifested Word and say Father we recognize You God as our Father. We’re Your children Lord. Guide us oh God. Brother Branham said that in Shalom. Now that you got the peace of God, the revelation, all these things; just keep your eyes on God.   38min 50sec…Now the announcements are fabulous. Wednesday service at 7:30 followed by next Sunday at 10:30 and that’s fabulous. Because the Bible tells us ‘forsake not the assembling of ourselves together and so much the more as we see the day approach”, because there’s a very special blessing in it. And that is as Brother Branham said we don’t come together for fellowship though we do around the Word, we come for correction. And you know what correction is? It means you’re closer and closer to perfect. Every time there’s a correction we take a step upward. We're getting closer and closer to the admission to the Tree of Life. That’s right. Not by works of righteousness which we have done. According to His mercy and grace sending us a prophet with the Word. Pointing us to Mount Horeb and away from Mount Sinai. As Brother Branham said, "If God ever sends His power back in the church it’ll be by grace and not by works." He sent His power back in the church by grace and so we have a vindicated Word and that vindicated Word gives us a perfect faith. And a perfect faith zeroes right back to God right into eternity. You know this is the truth, that’s right this is the truth. Somebody else come along and say, "Well I don’t like that. I like the people to shout and to scream." I know where they stand…it’s to get you excited…. Let me tell you something, if you cannot get excited about a vindicated Message in the right way, forget it. Might as well go home now, drink something stronger than beer and get high. Eat drink and be merry. For your name will get washed out of the Book of Life. People just don’t realize the sobriety of this Message and what it means. So we do though, Lord bless you. 49min…We’re all going on with the Lord and thank God He’s leading us, so we know we’re going on. If He weren’t leading us through the Word, there’s your picture right there, right to the Millennium. We wouldn’t know we're going on. But we are going on and we’re 24 hours closer than we were 24 hours ago. The middle of the week we’ll be 3 days closer. It’s good to begin to count the days. We’ll be over there where we can stop counting the days because we must look up, our redemption draweth nigh.   1hr 1min 35sec…Brother Branham said, "If I am not that man, I’m laying a foundation for the one to come." That’s right, laying a foundation. And he said of course I wasn’t that messenger if that coming one is a man. And he said, "I must decrease that He must increase." What I’m trying to tell you is this. You’ve entered a class that so few have had the privilege to enter into. You’ve seen the foundation of the coming King though now you see Him not yet believing. The heart should be full of joy unspeakable and full of glory. Because we know we’ve met Him. What a tremendous family instinct it should be. You know something? You know the reason why you’re not screaming and crying? Because you’ve been taught different. But if your heart’s screaming and crying, it’s speaking louder in heaven than the multitudes who cry and scream and they know not what they cry and scream because somebody got them excited. One day it may all break forth loose and I hope on this side before we reach the other side. But it won’t be somebody pretending. It won’t be somebody hoping. But it will be everybody knowing and that’s the greatest thing. Brother Branham taught us you can see God in nature, His patterns, like reading a book. I never thought the day would ever come as I’ve told you; I might have a tiny part in it because I’m a very mundane more or less pragmatic type of person. I don’t look back. I don’t look forward. I just stand and look. I don’t think I am missing anything though because God is moving in our midst. God’s fulfilling His Word. And you know something? He’s going to fulfill His Word in us before He fulfills His Word in anything else. I’m sure everything that God said in His Book extraneous to us is all there. But you know what? I’m not too interested in it except God said it and God wants it. I’m interested in you and me, the ultimate of Gods plan. To receive everything else He’s got for us and that’s in this hour.    1hr 6min 21sec…We can’t say we believe in what we believe and hang around in a tepid condition. Either get out and get cold or get in and get hot. And I do not say that to you as a people in a church. I say that of my own soul for all of us. Fervent in spirit towards the Word of God is the ‘in spirit’ today. Fervent for the truth as has been given to us. Burning within us, the mind set afire by it is this hour. Because God said to the Laodicean age either get hot or get cold. You’re making Me vomit. You believe you’re seed? Sure. You believe you are written Word? Sure. Do you believe you’re spoken Word. Better. That’s Logos in Its own individualistic watered down you might say, form, spoken Word. Could the spoken Word from the mouth of God be lukewarm? Could that which come out of God not want to go back to God? Could that which is of God not know the time of the coming? And could that which is of God not be excited? I believe so. Well that’s not the sermon really. That’s some thoughts I want you to have. Take a deep breath. Expel the doubts and fears and take another breath in faith and realize whether we realize it or not, we have passed from faith and hope into knowledge. That’s right. And the Bible does not say faith, hope and knowledge. It says faith hope and love which is God. The predestinating God who is making choice by the Word. Then choice by immortality and choice by a Rapture and a Wedding Supper, a Millennium and a New Jerusalem. Right? Comments 22x_LV Page PAGE 3 of NUMPAGES 3
