9/8/93-11/7/93, Bro. Lee Vayle

18min 30sec…I simply can’t understand where people are coming from
when they just want to…"Well,  let's just all get together and be nice
and it’s alright. It's alright, you know we’re all believing the
same Message."

Well I want to ask you a question. In the time of the crossover can
anybody tell me that Moses, Joshua, Caleb, those under 20, Korah,
Dathan, Abiram; ate any other manna than one common manna? Well
there’s your answer. If you’re not willing to see the price that’s
paid for this Word; total separation from unbelief, to fight every ounce
of your own inner energy that wants to lead you astray, to dedicate
yourself thoroughly to it and stand up; I think there’s a lot of
misunderstanding about this Word at the end time. I don’t believe
people really believe it’s going to carry over eight people in the
ark. They think Noah had either bunk beds in there stretched inside,
outside and over the top or double beds which ever you want to prefer.
In my books there’s either 8 bunks or 4 double beds and that’s all. 

19min 58sec… A peculiar people…the word ‘peculiar’ in the Greek
is a circle with a little dot in the middle which means ‘utterly
surrounded’ like Job was by God. It doesn’t mean their nuttier than
fruit cakes. The point of the matter is the only people with the same
mind are those who actually understand the Word of the hour.

28min… But you can’t open a box of cornflakes…really that’s the
truth. You cannot open a page of paper. You cannot turn anywhere but you
will see every indication if it isn’t over, my God I hope it is. I
don’t want to…well I don’t think I’ll have to because I’m on
the way out. But you young people, what are you facing but your flesh
rotting on your bones? What are you facing in life on this earth? We'll
talk about it as we hit Genesis this morning. But you know it’s
terribly serious.   If there ever was a time for youth to remember its
Creator, it’s now. 

It doesn’t say remember your God that you worship. Remember now thy
Creator. Huh? Right! They’ve gone to atheism. They can’t prove
anything. When it comes to evolution the Darwinian Theory and all, the
Ingersol’s and all these flat headed idiots that think they know
something, although Darwin did repent. You know the fact is one and one
no longer make two, they hypothesize. How would you like to be in the
place where the churches are this morning? They hypothesize. They got a
synthetic religion. You know something? It’s true, that nylon
doesn’t burn but it sure melts. A little a gooey lump. Anything
synthetic is a bad, bad situation. Remember now thy Creator. Right? So
this is the hour to begin opening our minds to the Creator. That’s
what Brother Branham…did you know that Brother Branham was a real
naturalist. He wasn’t exactly a Solomon. But he was a most
entertaining person to be around. I remember one time we took a little
kind of walk in the woods…it wasn’t much of a woods. Telephone poles
were there and he described the different wires how they worked. And
then he talked about the bears and different things in the woods. And he
was a great, what you might call a ‘great appreciator’ of the
Creator. And you know it’s a lack of that appreciation that makes men
go against creation. 

And when you go against creation, you come to the place of exalted
insanity. Like king Knuth… wouldn’t he that dumb Dane that they said
‘why you’re so great you can control the universe’. He went down
and he told the tide to stop rolling in. I’d like to have been there.
It’s recorded; we’ll see it on the big screen of God if that really
happened. He never stopped anything. You can’t even stop a mosquito
sneaking up behind you. Huh? Remember now thy Creator. 

39min 25sec (Bro. Vayle speaking at Eden Keller’s baptism) And the
Judge says, "Listen, all you got to do is believe the vindicated Word,
be baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ; you don’t have one
problem about sins any longer. And because of that, remember in Hebrews
10 the spirit answers to the blood. What happens? The doors open for the
Holy Ghost to come in. The laying on of hands in water as far as I’m
concerned is exactly all that is necessary; although hands themselves
are not necessary to receive either the Holy Ghost or healing. It’s
something that God does. It’s been promised us it’s been confirmed
by the Word, demonstrated by vindication and all Eden has to do is
believe positively. If the sins are taken care of, (and they are!) just
can’t doubt that and the Holy Spirit can come into my life. Now the
Holy Spirit coming into your life is marvelous and you’ll notice a
little bit here in the book of Ephesians and it’s the 5th chapter
which is the great chapter on the Bride.

And it tells you here now, those that are baptized in water and have
opened the door for the Holy Spirit and as Brother Branham said you do
two things God’s got to do the third which is repent and be baptized.
You just receive the Holy Spirit without evidence, without sensation,
nothing…but then watch what happens in the 18th verse.  And be not
drunk with wine wherein is excess…but the Greek says, but ye being
filled with the spirit…Word upon Word because the conduit of the Holy
Spirit is the Word. 

Now watch, speaking to yourselves in psalms, in hymns, in spiritual
songs, singing making and melody in your heart to the Lord, giving
thanks always for all things unto God, even the Father in the name of
the Lord Jesus Christ and submitting yourselves to that Word. Now that
tells you right  there what Brother Branham said piling Word upon Word
until it’s not just a baptism with the Holy Ghost, it’s a person
truly filled all the way with the Spirit walking and moving and living
in the Spirit. Now watch what you do… speaking to yourselves in psalms
and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart
to the Lord giving thanks always for all things unto God who is your
Father in the Name of Jesus. Now that’s the secret.

You say, "Will it work? Well if it doesn’t work, why is it in the
Bible? Say “Well, will it work for me?” If it doesn’t then God’s
a liar. So always the integrity of God is at stake and this is what
always blows my mind. How can people doubt a prophet who comes in the
Name of the Lord; and God backs that man up?

45min 52sec…We all know that attrition took place and always does take
place every age. Those of us that are going on, when we’re gone
there’s nobody going to take our places. It can’t be because the
seed runs out. What holds for this church, I don’t know. Brother
Branham said before the rapture they’d be closing doors. What are you
going to do then? You’ll have to take your tapes out and play them. 

49min…We fortify ourselves with prayer as Brother Branham said, prayer
is never…a people like us attempting to have God change His mind. But
prayer is to get us to change our mind. Also some of you don’t have a
back ground of what was called ‘the old power ministry’. And the
‘old power ministry’ of course is the Pentecostal attitude and
outlook in prayer and you just pound away until you get God to do
something for you and that’s dangerous. The psalms are full of the
fact where God did great things for His people…God just did them. And
then people wanted their way. Like they said can God prepare a table in
the wildernesses? So they began hammering away at God to send them
quail. Now he didn’t want them to eat quail and leeks and garlic’s
and things He wanted them to have manna. Oh they pounded away until they
got what they wanted. The Bible said ‘He sent leanness to their
souls’. 

Now that tells what I’ve been preaching for a long time, that if we
don’t handle the unrighteous mammon, we’ll never handle the
spiritual. So that's why preachers have a grave yard; money, popularity,
women. People think that Brother Branham lied that these things don’t
run their courses. I got news for you. What is all our studies about in
Spoken Word’s The Original Seed, two complete series and End Time Seed
Sign. So remember that, look around you, the flowers are dying.
They’re not nearly as pretty as they once were. There’s a few little
bits of color but the vines are sort of spreading themselves out there.
You know that the use of the vine is over. The beauty that was once
there is gone but it’s a seed time. Seed time again getting ready for
a harvest. Everything in the earth shall pass away but there’s one
thing that will not pass away and that is that Word of God That’s
right. Now it’s got to be the Word for the season. That’s right. So
we have a Word for this season which will not pass away and we’re
talking now of individuals in whom is that Word. So we trust we
understand these things that we’re dedicated to them.

52min 43sec… I trust we never come to the place where this Word
becomes ho-hum, becomes prosaic(common place, dull), becomes such that
we can…oh…take it or leave it. If we ever get to the place where we
fail to have that cry in our hearts - I want those doors to open! I want
to come together. I won’t miss an opportunity.

If you’re not in that place you’re in bad shape this morning. You
need to examine your hearts and you need to pray until that fullness of
that Spirit is there that this is everything. I trust this church is a
church that is in that position. If it isn’t, well it’s just another
manifestation of seed. You know I hang tough and I preach tough but
look; I didn’t write the Bible. I’m not responsible for any
vindication. I’m only responsible for one thing and that is to preach
it. Paul himself said if I preach this gospel which I know to be
vindicated and become disobedient, I myself could become a castaway,
disapproved. And in every house there are vessels that are approved unto
honor and there are those that are not approved unto honor.

Where are we? Brother Branham said give yourself the Word test. So
that’s what these meetings are always about. You say, “Brother
Vayle, will you ever change your theme?” Why? Why? Why do I want to
tell my body to be happy with a dish of macaroni, not even bother
putting any cheese on it or anything else, and tell my body, “Hey!
Body you respond with perfect health. And the body says, “No way, no
way.” There’s nothing there. The body said you give me what my body
needs and I’ll respond. 

You think any dead are going to come out of the graves except they had
the Word for their hour, stand approved before God? You think that you
and I are going to stand here while they come out if there isn’t
something in these bodies that respond. Resurrection isn’t just giving
you and me a body, no, no, no. There’s going to be a resurrection of
people who don’t want the body they get and they’re going to go to
the lake of fire and suffer in that body. That’s true. Now people
don’t want to hear preaching like this. I got news for you, like it or
lump it. Live, die, sink, swim. Sovereignty of God. Blessed are they who
hear, who’s eyes have seen and they understand this hour in which we
live and they place themselves on the side where God is. God is always
with His Word.

So remember that as we go to preaching this morning. Just saves me
giving a more elaborate introduction to the message, catch us up on some
thoughts to help you to perceive and a perceiving which is understanding
and blessed are you because you come to that place where even greater
men have wanted to come and couldn’t come. Where the very prophets
have brought this Word forth, could not stand in this hour. I want to
tell you something they’ll be standing here seeing it fulfilled as
Brother Branham said, “You think of that person you love, (that would
be a godly person of course) someone like Brother Branham; (He] said,
“You begin thinking of them sweet terms of love, sweet spirit fills
the building because that person’s spirit is drawing nigh.” Strange
for a man to say things like that. Strange but true. I have to believe
it. My former teaching would deny it. Say, “Well, you’re communing
with the saints. You’re a lousy spiritualist.” Hold it. Vindication
my brother/sister does not have a denial. [You say],”Well that changes
my concept.” That’s what repentance is!

1hr 10min 32sec…Brother Branham preached a sermon on Presumption. The
world’s presuming everything, but we don’t presume we know the
truth. We’re not walking in presumption. He said presumption is when a
man wants to walk in a territory that’s unfamiliar or actually
forbidden. He said we’re fools. Angels fear to tread…men rush in
with hob nailed boots. Man has not learned to tread softly before God
