11min 50sec…To disagree with the Catholic doctrine has meant not only
eviction but death over the ages. In his letter Palarsic? wrote “it
seems to me that willingly to take a position contrary to clear and
constant church teaching is to put the individuals mind over against
that of the church”, perfectly true, perfectly true, if they were
vindicated. If the church had vindicated teaching, any mind that’s
contrary becomes a true heretic. And after the second admonition you
reject. Now you wonder why we hang very tough in this pulpit and what we
say about discussing the Word, because some of you don’t really
understand the issue behind it. This is life and death.  See now here
he’s perfectly right on his statement. But watch where it takes you.
See. Everything starts true. Then they say we’re still true when they
leave it. No. “What is at issue here is not pastoral insensitivity on
the part of the church, but simply doctrinal consistency”. Doctrinal
consistency. He added, “It does not make much sense for the church to
provide its physicality’s whether physical or journalistic to those
who reject what she teaches”. Now you see where the church is a haven
is only when you stand with the Word.

The early church came against the false apostles. And that’s what John
the revelator, really John the scribe wrote down. He said, "I’ve got
this in your favor that you sure took your stand against those false
apostles." And Brother Branham said “My that was flat”. How did they
take their stand? They simply went to those men and say,  "You apostles,
you’re not saying what Paul said." And that did it. So I enjoy
watching the Roman Catholic Church, because I’m with Brother Branham
that they started as a true Pentecostal church and they had the truth.
Then they let heathenism come in. But notice how they backed their
heathenism with true and proper dictum. There’s nothing wrong with the
principle of enunciation.  It’s, what’s wrong, with them using a
true principle to back their error. 

17min 55sec…God proved His Book, brother/sister and you can say what
you want. Some of you I know you’re not really aflame with it. But if
you’re not, the flame is going to get you. Don’t think you can fool
around and have your excuse and this and that and little tea parties and
be another Roman Catholic Church backed by the press. Because you said
it, it’s going to work. It isn’t going to do it. That’s what
people all over are doing with this Message. Their putting a new patch
on an old garment. [It] doesn’t work. You got to come full circle to
the message of Paul - vindicated! Cause there’s only about 800 brands
preaching the message of Paul so called as though they were vindicated.
But nobody outside of William Branham was vindicated. And who we going
to stand with? So I’m going to stand with William Branham. He said it.
That’s all I need to know. All we need to know.

29min22sec…The next thing without the help of the Lord is difficulty
in swallowing which could happen any time. It hasn’t happened but it
could happen. So you are looking at a man who could be out of the pulpit
for a period of time and maybe at the end of his ministry. So therefore
you’re going to have to get very serious concerning your thoughts
because God does not want this place to close. Now what I can do, I
don’t know. But I have to lay it strictly on the table for you. It is
very serious. I have had the cat scans everything else and it is not a
good prognosis except maybe by way of an operation and I’m not adverse
to that but I’ll be looking at various alternatives. And it means
there’s going to be more of a slacking off than what I wanted and I
realize that I am expendable. I don’t want anybody in this church
thinking, “Well ole Lee, he’s up there suffering and putting on a
show and he’s expendable.” Now listen, I’m going to tell you
something Jesus was expendable for our sins. Paul was expendable.
William Branham was expendable and I am more than expendable. I could be
dead tomorrow morning and good riddance to bad rubbish. So don’t think
I’m saying that. I’m telling you now, hey, you’re going to have to
get serious or you going to have to play tapes or what you’re going to
fall into is a trap. You will then take somebody that you don’t really
want but it’s convenient.

40min 59sec…Now I want to share something with you that crossed my
mind and it’s not in the message this morning so I am going to go to
the book of Revelation and this is something that can go out to the
preachers and the people who get these extra little things that I look
at. In Revelation 5 John is the scribe who sees this tremendous scene in
heaven. And in the hands of the One who’s sitting on the throne in
chapter 4 there is a book sealed on the back side with Seven Seals. And
a strong angel is proclaiming with a loud voice… he’s asking the
question…Who is worthy to open the book and loose the seals thereof?
And no man in heaven, no man in the earth and no man under the
earth…if a man is there…could open the book. And I wept much until
an elder said weep not, the Lion of the tribe of Judah , the Root of
David has prevailed to open the book and loose the seven seals and I
beheld this Lamb. Now just think of that. Let’s go to Revelation 10
and this Mighty One that came down has this little book open cause the
seals are off. And He cries as a lion roars and Seven Thunders utter
their voices and in the uttering of those voices, you notice that they
were sealed up. They were not able to be given at that particular time.

Now in Revelations 22 in verse 10 it says Seal not the sayings of the
prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. And he is that is unjust
is unjust still and so on. Now what I’m looking at here is the fact
that this book that was sealed required the Lamb whose blood was shed
who is the Redeemer. Now believe me there is nothing that God has ever
done that requires a redeemer. So I am thinking that this book that has
been sealed has not been sealed by God but has been sealed by man.  In
other words man has got himself in a pickle. Just like in the Garden of
Eden.

Now the pickle that I suggest that man got himself into is found in
2ndCorinthians, 11thchapter. Where Paul is speaking to the virgin church
and saying I’m jealous over you with a godly jealousy, I’ve espoused
you to one husband that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ
but I found out something about you, you are no longer a virgin.  Now
the virgin’s test in the Old Testament is to bring the cloth of her
virginity which in my understanding, and I can be wrong, is simply that
she has had a menstrual period signifying she is not pregnant when she
comes to her husband. Or even on the wedding night anticipates her
becoming pregnant because the idea was to raise up children. So she is
not carrying somebody else’s seed. And Paul says here your minds are
already and Brother Branham using the same terminology, the mind was
open to become pregnant by the word seed of Satan which is a deception
which is a perversion of the Word and Paul said you are no longer a
chaste virgin. You have been beguiled by the serpent through his
subtlety your minds are corrupted.

So already this woman is a deceived and fallen woman through the
doctrine which she has and therefore she is not acceptable. And I would
say this that I believe here is the starting of the sealed book. Seven
long church ages have gone by and we haven’t known the truth from 60
A.D. Seven years is all it took for the church to go haywire… didn’t
even take that long. Since that time the book has been sealed. Therefore
it takes a special act of the Redeemer which is Christ to open those
Seals and you will notice that in the Book of Hebrews the 6th chapter
the people crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh which means they
are not willing for the Redeemer in the form of the Holy Spirit to come
down and to open and reveal the Book.

Now you will notice it says…John is saying…don’t let any man close
the Book once it’s open. Therefore a man in heaven opened the Book, a
man on earth opened it to the people and the people have the right today
to close the Book. Now you see where I’m taking you? One Word off and
one Word on. That’s why I preach that there is a passive faith that if
you don’t have it, it doesn’t much matter about your active faith. 

You can be right there in the seventh chapter of the book of Matthew,
false prophets. Matthew 24 with a ministry which is truly real but as
false as the devil himself. Now you will notice it was back in the
garden that this book became starting to be sealed. And he wanted to put
forth his hand and take of immortality. It is under the final unsealing,
the final redemptive act.

Even Brother Branham plays up the place of the redeemer very strongly in
the opening of the Seals. Read The Breach and the continuing series of
the Seals. And you will find it is an absolute act of the great, not
intercessor but the Mediator who comes in between now. That’s why he
can say that this is Jesus Himself in the form of the Holy Ghost
performing the very works that He did when He was here in flesh
vindicating that He was here now to take a Bride out. He said, "My
ministry is to dress a Bride, to get her ready for a presentation". And
it cannot be done any other way and everybody is closing up this Book.
And when you close it up, there is no way you will get to immortality.
This is why the whole world burns.

 It was not God who shut the Book! It was not God who opened the Book!
I’m speaking in the literal sense now of where we have a man up there
who could take the Book out of the hand. And believe it is not God now
shutting the book. Is there anybody this morning here that's starting to
shut that Book? You do, you lost out entirely. That’s why it’s going
to burn. That’s why the foolish virgins will be killed and there
won’t be in my understanding. There cannot be one person standing here
but becomes cannon fodder, atomic bomb fodder and we will walk upon the
ashes of what is called the wicked. Now we get in the message this
morning you’re going to see some things and understand how that is.
But I wanted to share with you as these thoughts come to me and I
believe my thinking is correct of what I said this morning and I leave
it with you and the Lord bless you.

 

1hr 13min 15sec…Now Jesus was born in Israel. Joseph had his bones
taken back. Jacob wanted his body taken back because there’s where the
resurrection was. They are associated with the soil. Jesus was
associated with the soil. Mt Zion is associated with the soil. There is
an association. I want to ask you a question. What brought the soil? The
Word of God. So you don’t put a precedence on creation.

You don’t put the emphasis on the creation. You put the emphasis on
the Creator and you respect creation to the end that God created it. And
you’ll never respect God without the Word. And at this time you can
see Israel is in bad shape. Because as Brother Branham said so clearly,
they are there because of politics. But it doesn’t matter who pulls
the strings, who got them in, they're there. And the days going to come
when they’re going to say blessed is he that cometh in the Name of the
Lord and they’re not going to worry about the land. Because until they
come right back to the Word, it isn’t going to do them any good
because the very land of Israel is going to get burnt over the same as
America and every place else. It’s got to be renewed to bring a Bride
back for a thousand years of further sanctification. So you see they
make a very big mistake. But everybody makes mistakes except for us.
How? By a prophet. You get your revelation right. You get your
priorities right. You understand then how too truly worship in spirit
and in truth and all these other things begin to move in.

Now believe me we do not denigrate God’s creation we are a part of it.
We are a part of the earth. But look if it weren’t for that seed which
brings forth a body from what God dictated commensurate to it we
wouldn’t even have this. But down the road there’s another body from
this, which is truly commensurate with the truly redeemed soul and what
God has in mind. So put your mind on the Lord and understand He’s one
with His Word. Israel hasn’t even got it yet. I’m sorry a lot of our
folk don’t either.

1hr 19min 36sec…Now I tell you why people are lukewarm and cold. They
haven’t taken the Message. Neither have we to the extent we should and
must or we will become red hot and in red hot we’ll be manifesting
different. Our immune system will be built up and believe me we will not
get out of here like Elisha did by dying. We’ll get out of here like
Elijah did without dying. Now I can sympathize with those who are my age
and older and would like to get out of this crack-pot existence. The old
pot is pretty cracked as well as psycho ceramics has set in. That’s
the head part, being fizzle. But I cannot get out of my heart the fact
that that’s not the way to go. Now I may go that way…be fun. But I
got no promise to go that way and you don’t either. Now the point is
this. You can kick yourself all you want about your going but if you
cannot recognize the One in your midst Who's going to take you there.
You ain’t going… you’re not…forget it. You’ve got to make
issues before you get hot or cold. In other words, an issue is to make
you hot or forget it, there isn’t an issue, get cold. But don’t be
puke.
