Bro. Lee Vayle

 

13min 30sec…But you know here a couple of kids I think I’ve known
them almost every day of their lives and growing up fine Christians, it
made me think what Brother Branham said “Apply the Token”. And
nobody’s going to miss it. And we see little children growing up and
it would be pitiful…heavens…I mean let’s face it. What a
tremendous loss, and that’s my talking now and I think I speak for the
Lord too. What a tremendous loss it would be not to see all these cute
little kiddies we see running around here; wonderful children come right
to the Millennium. Of course little tiny ones, they’ll make it.
There’s no doubt about it. But as they get older I believe as never
before the Word is fulfilled because Brother Branham really laid it on
the line bring up a child in the way it ought to go and he’ll not
depart. And if he ever does he’ll come on back. So we’ve got a
wonderful promise. I think it’s marvelous.

I know some of you right now you're worried maybe about your children
being older and you say, "Well will they come in?" Just keep your heart
on the Lord.  Now there’s no way we’re going to make the un-elect
elected. But in the last day it’s different. You got to believe that.
You got to believe the last day is different. It’s like the first age
when the apostle Paul said believe and all thy house shall be saved. The
apostle Paul taught the Philippian jailer how to apply the Token, I
believe he did it. I believe he’s going to be like Job, see all his
children there, time to take real heart and faith in the Lord.

 

17 min…How you doing there Heather good to see you…McMann
right…McMann… that’s Irish sort of and a green dress to prove it.
Did you attend the wedding of a pixie? Where the kids? Home? She’s got
cute kids. She’s got a nice husband too. He doesn’t see the Message
but he backs her all the way in what she believes and how she believes.
He’s a very good man in the Lord. You say is he in the Lord?  In this
respect I believe he’ll sure make the second resurrection. Anybody
that’s really sympathetic to the Word but hasn’t been called to the
grace of God I believe that they’ll be literally billions populating
the earth. Because that was the command of God when there was no water
on the earth, so all you fishermen are kind of out of luck. Even the
hunters. When the earth was entirely earth, He said populate it, the
resurrection’s going to do that…be tremendous crowds. I think
that’s why Brother Branham’s vision was so accurate beyond the
curtain of time. He said, "Are all these people"…he said about a
million he figured but you know that could be just an assessment.
We’re not going to hold the man down to figures. You just look at a
density and say hey that could be that. I believe that speaks of the
fact that this age that they’ll be many, many people who never…like
Brother Branham said good people who just never understood and they’ll
be there and I’m glad for that. I’m glad to think that. That gets
you off the hook of this continual grinding of the devil why would God
elect and elect. You know what I mean. Brother Branham said there’s a
natural election there’s a spiritual.

 Well if you didn’t get into the original spiritual which demands a
natural in the sense, you know the configuration of our forms. Then
there’s also the natural coming up where, you know, who knows who’ll
all be there. We praise the Lord that God has not lost anybody. Everyone
that died in Adam will come back in the resurrection. And that’s
wonderful. Makes you feel good, expands your heart and love, makes you
more generous in your sentiments, your outlook, attitudes, gestures,
living, more temperance, settles you down. A lot of us have children we
don’t know where they’re going to come in at. But you know they
could be there. Claim every one of them.

 

22min 45sec…You know, you may think that you know this but nobody
knows it… except the prophet knew it and we better know it or we’re
not going to get out of here. We have turned a corner and you’re
committed to either the great tribulation and the second resurrection…
you got three choices. Now you don’t make them,  but there’s three
there to the White Throne and the lake of fire or getting out of here
which Brother Branham said about the great tribulation. And he believed
the oath of Columbus was formulated by a priest and popes and what have
you on anybody who was a protestant. And if you read it you know it was
pretty monstrous. And he said I would sooner have that perpetuated upon
me than just five minutes in the great tribulation. How committed are
we? Live or die, sink or swim. We’re not to be cynical and we’re not
hopeless and helpless. We’re committed.

And in this committal search the history, two thousand years of history.
Now this is admitted by the religious authors who today…Brother
Branham’s gone almost twenty five years now… so they feel very safe
in coming out with their hog wash and their condemnation which is
preparing them for the burning if we are right. They have said that not
for two thousand years did you see a ministry like Brother Branham’s.
Why? 

 

30min 26sec…Even Elisha died with the sickness where with he was ill,
he had many more miracles than even Elijah did. And Brother Branham said
he had…God had greater success in his ministry than Jesus did than in
his own when he was on earth in the flesh. Greater works than these
shall be done because I…by somebody because I go to my Father.

 

39min…He said it could be maybe a hundred years maybe fifty, twenty
five, maybe tomorrow morning. Of course I knew it wouldn’t be tomorrow
morning so don’t get excited. Many people are going to leave the
Message because the very thing I’m talking to you about. They can’t
stand the waiting. They all want to identify with Noah but not with his
endurance.

I don’t think Noah when he was building the ark was out there winking
with the world, the floozy spirituals. Like Brother Branham said get
under the covenant, get under the blood. So Lula comes by and says
Lillie come out. She said, "We’re having fun."  She said, "No I’m
under the covenant."

So I’m warning you. It’s going to be very easy for many of you to
just get very indifferent. You got your marriage, your children. (Bro
Vayle makes snoring sound and talks in a sleepy voice while saying the
next) Oh I should get up and go to church but (snores) I actually should
do something about the Word, you know how it is. Yeah I know exactly how
it is. I know exactly because the prophet said he had one worry that the
cares of this life would take over God’s people. Take them right away
from the Word of God. You know when you consider that the beast didn’t
have much trouble persuading Eve, we ought not to be too high minded and
think we’re so secure. So I hope you come out fighting from now on.
Fight your indifferences. Fight your appetites. Fight the pleasures of
sin, above all fight your minds and know of a surety; that the Life in
this Word will quicken your mind, will quicken your souls, will
eventually quicken your bodies. 

 

52min54sec…There’s going to be a time then that the power of God
will come into the church. And Brother Branham said it will not be by
works it’s going to be by grace when God brings it back. So you see
the power of God is going to come into the church to the extent that
it’s going to bring about a resurrection. It’s going to bring about
immortality it’s going to bring about a rapture.

And notice at that time he said put on the whole armor of God that you
may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Now he already
spoke of that. And he spoke of it in terms of the Holy Ghost coming upon
the earth, Christ coming back in the form of the Holy Ghost, putting the
church in divine order to the extent that at the end time there is going
to be a church that will not be tossed to and fro and carried about by
every wind of doctrine.

Now the wiles of the devil is the wind of doctrine which means he takes
you off the rock and gives you wind for your foundation. See so it will
never work. Now that kind of a church that’s pregnant with wind only
brings forth wind. It can never bring forth the child. In other words,
God coming back in flesh, can’t do it. Nope; but the church has got to
come to a place (and I’m using scripture and I’m saying these
things). I’m not making up a kind of a phony illustration, this is
what the Bible actually teaches.

Now it tells you here there’s coming a time when the full power of God
is in our midst, protected against the wiles of the devil. We won’t be
wrestling against flesh and blood. That's all finished but against
principalities against powers against the rulers of the darkness of this
world against spiritual wickedness in high places. Now that actually is
the antithesis of Hebrews 6. Paul speaking of the end time fantastic
ministry the Holy Ghost looses among us so that we can have a definitive
revelation and an understanding. Now that’s the most important thing.

Let’s keep on moving. And he says here, take the whole armor of God
that you may be able to stand in the evil day. That’s this day right
here. Behold I come and the earth is going to burn. And having done all
to stand…notice that, live die sink or swim this is it…see. Standing
therefore your loins girded about with truth…now remember Levi was in
the loins of his grandfather so this is speaking in terms of here, not
the loins that are physical but the loins of the mind being girded up
with truth, we’re not going to be pushed here and there. Having the
breast plate of righteousness in other words that again is something
given us at the end time when it’s the apex. Your feet shod with the
preparation of the gospel of peace… going to get out of here cross
over. Now watch. Here's what I’m driving at. Above all taking the
shield of faith where with you’re able to quench all the fiery darts
of the wicked…now what is a shield for? A shield is a preparatory
instrument so when something is coming against you, you can receive the
brunt of it so that you get a jolt but you don’t get knocked down or
an annihilation.

Now the thing is this, what is that shield of faith? Faith is a
revelation, positively a revelation. Now then what is that revelation at
the end time going to do for us in the measure of a shield of faith? Ok
it’s right over here in the book of 1st Corinthians the 15th chapter;
God having come down to set His church in order and the great mystery
now that climaxes and caps the whole thing of the Shout, God coming
down, putting the church in order, everything under the feet of Jesus
Christ and now He says ‘Hey! I want to show you something. The dead
are going to be raised incorruptible and we are going to be changed
because now is the hour of the kingdom. In a moment in the twinkling of
an eye, at the last trump for the trumpet shall sound. That’s the
shout. The dead’s raised incorruptible and we’ll be changed this
corruptibility will put on incorruptibility then what? Death is
swallowed up in victory…oh death where is your sting.

The fiery dart of death is stopped by the shield of faith. What is your
revelation today? Have you got the genuine revelation brother/sister
that can absolutely fend off death and stand here and say I know that my
redeemer liveth and at this point I’m living. And if I don’t make it
because of my age or something, there’s somebody here that’s going
to make it because they fit in that category. The fiery dart of the
enemy of death is put to one side. 

 

59min13sec…Now you got a revelation his morning brother sister that
you can quench every dart of the enemy, every single one. You got the
helmet of salvation. That protects the mind up here; the brain doesn’t
get jolted and carried away.  You got the sword of the spirit. It’s a
double edged sword proven to you by discernment; never ever made a
mistake. So the saint of God is perfectly equipped today. You say I’m
looking for something else. You don’t belong in this church. I’m
sorry you’re not one of us. You have a sick religion. You have got a
Pentecostal doctrine. And I can tell you, you’re not standing.
You’re either sitting or rolling around in the hog pen. That’s an
awful thing to say to folks isn’t it? You see it doesn’t apply to
you here. That’s just to let you know where you stand. We’re using
the negative to show the positive. 

????????... How about your daughter? She come next time maybe? Well,
keep praying for her. That's good. Don't push them. Just believe for
them. As you know, one little drop of honey will catch more flies than a
barrel of vinegar. 

1hr17min48sec…There’s going to have to be people standing on earth
here somewhere that just isn’t sick; even if it’s only five minutes
before the rapture.
