Comments #30 4/28/91-06/29/91 Bro. Lee Vayle 8min 15sec…You know I think my little thoughts as I go along. And I was thinking of all you people but I don’t mention all your names. And I was thinking this week that there’s some of you sitting here whose parents will never be known to you some way, way down the road in the New Jerusalem in the air when God makes all things new. That’s startling but the point is…how is it that you know what your parents don’t know… some of you. How is it that you’ve come when all the pleading and all the talking in the world would never persuade your parents your brothers and sisters or anybody else to come? What is it? What made you different? Look back on your lives when you were children and reared in Christian homes. Did your parents at that time really teach you the truth? And the answer is no. Why now do you have the truth? Brother Branham said as a man looks for a woman with character to have for His Bride, God is looking for a Bride today with such character that she will stand and listen to the Message and go into the water of separation and be thoroughly sanctified unto God by His Word. For you are a peculiar people, a chosen people unto God. And the word peculiar is a circle with a dot in the middle. It means that you are completely surrounded by Him and you are that one in the middle, that you are God’s choosing. You are God’s building. You are God’s definitive…you may say out pouring of Himself, His children, His all. And you have to realize that. And you cannot vary from it and you cannot ask God questions. Say well, "Why not my parents? Why not my brothers and sisters? Why not even my children?" Of one lump… one lump of clay, God made a separation whose bodies or which body would be the temple of the Holy Ghost; fully depend upon the seed coming forth. As you are not responsible for your birth, you are not responsible for your rebirth. What part you had in your physical birth? You had none except you were there in that little form of life. And God requires only one thing today from the Bride and that is to listen to that Word be filled with the Holy Spirit and to believe that Word and to walk in whatever obedience there is to that Word and that obedience is not that which causes you to be born or places you. That obedience is simply a naturalness as Brother Branham said, "You will find as time goes on it’ll be more and more natural." And so I was thinking of you people and realizing more than ever the foreknowing, the electing and the predestinating power of God is in our midst as never before and we are actually that which has been ordained. My sheep hear my voice and a stranger’s voice they will not hear. And in the last day no matter what happens we know this one thing, there is a Bride in whom…in each one…and the entirety also…is the mind which is the womb. And that mind and that womb is thoroughly shut up to every single thing, every other word, until it is truly as the apostle said and Brother Branham said paraphrasing the apostles, live or die sink or swim. There is no place else to go. Why? Because we are predestinated to go the way that we are going. We’ll never change it. We can change a few things round about us. Oh we can get a little promise here a little promise there. We’ll talk about that this morning in Brother Branham’s message. Let me tell you one thing. You cannot change your destiny. There is no way. It is good to be shut up to God. It is good to know we have no other place to turn. The world has no other place to turn than their destiny. What a tragic thing that is. But you and I are shut up to God if so be we’re children…and we believe we are on the grounds of a vindicated Word. So the Lord bless you. Take your stand with the apostles. With the old saints and with the new saints and especially Brother Branham, the prophet who knew as he said concerning the predestinating power of God. Not only did God know how many fleas there’d be, how many times they’d bat their eye balls, how many it’d take to make a pound of tallow. He said I was predestinated to be in this pulpit this morning preaching and you also before the foundation of the world known only to God were predestinated to listen…to hear me. How many heard the Word? Nobody knows. But they are those who do hear and they have been predestinated. Now that ought to take away all fear. I hope it does giving us more peace more comfort more of the things of God making us more at rest, more of a fellowship with Him and with each other. 21min 15sec… So the very Presence of the Lord when Brother Branham had a gift of healing, he was commissioned to take that and before he died…which was of course before he died…he told me that he said Lee I haven’t got one of these gifts missing. He said their all nine there. And many a time you heard him say on a tape, he said what if I took the disease off you and it wasn’t supposed to be taken off at that time. See… no gift is used at the discretion of the holder of it. He may press his faith and then come in the last Day of Judgment and say Lord did I not prophesy did we not cast our devils. Did we not heal? Did we not so and so? He said I never knew you. Always the scripture must be used within the context or framework of the scripture. You simply can’t take anything and run with it. 25min41sec…It was the Europeans that came here with their religion that stunk…right! They’ll try to tell you different but I’m going to...you look at those old timers around the constitution… now there’s atheists and everything else there. There was no such thing as a true American rebirth of the Word. Never has been until this hour…Oh no. they see everything but the vitality of the Word. 26min 20sec…But every time you read these articles remember they don’t understand 1Thessalonians 4:16 which to them is the Rapture. It is not the Rapture. It is the events leading to the Rapture. Because even the trumpet call is the assembling together in order to come…be taken up by that Spirit’s that’s in our midst for the incarnation when we crown Him King of Kings. We’re the only people that are wise in this hour. You say well…people say “Hey you just arrogate yourself too much.” Hogwash what are you thinking about? Can a man here that can produce the Living Word of God and these guys can’t produce anything except the scraping of an ass head which people are starving on boiling and trying to get some food. As Brother Branham said it’s thinner than the broth made with the shadow of a chicken that starved to death. Then try to tell us we don’t have a right to stand up for Truth. Say, "You’re brain washing us." They're trying to brain wash us. Come on. Get on your toes child. We’re not unaware of the wiles of the devil. The word wiles means methods. We’re not unaware. We can give back to the devil his own lie. 1hr 7min 17sec… (Bro Vayle reading from an article) The most powerful man in Europe is a devout catholic who recently addressed the group of catholic bishops at (?). He rules the commission with an iron fist and the commission rules Europe. The stage is nearly set for the emergence of the antichrist. See they want the loaves and fishes. Now remember the first thing that the devil did to Jesus was he said… now if you are the son of God, command these stones be made bread. What’s he saying? He’s saying give us the food. That’s the first thing… the antichrist will come. He’s going to make sure the people get something to eat…right? 1hr 22min 7sec…Nice to see our friends coming in. and you might not realize this but this is totally representative of the eagles gathering together for the Wedding Supper. There was a man that went to the Wedding Supper he didn’t have a garment on. And they said friend how did you get in here without that garment on? Well he said I just walked in because I liked the crowd…I thought was pretty nice. He said cast him out into outer darkness which is the great tribulation. Brother Branham said that was the person or persons that set amongst us who do not believe, do not intend to believe or just merely kidding themselves perhaps; so… Wedding Supper…and those who like fresh Word of the Lord.
