11/14/93-2/5/94, Bro. Lee Vayle

30 sec…I was thinking this morning that the word ‘remember’ is in
the Bible and it’s many, many places all through the scripture.
‘Remember’ means to keep in mind or actually keep in mind.
‘Remember’ doesn’t mean to go back and pull something out of your
mind as though every now and then you’re supposed to remember
something. You know, how would you do that if you are remember certain
things currently? Well the Bible speaks in my understanding of the
current. Always keep everything current. 

The scripture says remember now thy creator in the days of thy youth. In
other words you start the processes there and you never forget, and you
extend this into the hour in which we live which is the age of the mind.
Now remember the mind follows the eye, and the eye is the last moving
part. So if you’re looking for anything by way of an evidence or any
manifestation or any particular thing that you might think would be
exceptionally valuable at this particular time, you are in error,
because that’s over. The eye part is over. In other words the prophet
is gone. He’s gone and what we have left is His Word and we are to
keep that always in our minds.

That’s the most important thing is we’re crossing over from this
area to the other area from this place to that place. Now if God were
asking you to pick up hundreds of pounds and go hiking and if He were
asking you to do something physical, you might not be able to do it. But
you are able to keep in mind the revelation that has been brought to us.
You may not know it all; you’re not expected to know it all. 

You’re not able to preach it all. You’re not expected to preach it
all. You’re just supposed to bear in mind that revelation as to what
God has given you in your particular portion and keep it always before
your mind. Why? Because the spirit of man who moves through the mind and
takes it down into the heart where the soul is where the Spirit of God
is. And that’s what the Spirit of God actually uses. Now that may seem
strange to you but that’s true, that’s what He uses. If you were to
ask God Himself  and He were here; what would you say to God… "What do
You use?" And He would say “I use My Word”. There’s nothing
outside of His Word.

Now that same Word indwelt by the Holy Spirit is going to transform us,
to transfigure us, and this is the problem that we’re having today in
all the churches, our church, everywhere. We do not keep in mind that
Word as though that is the paramount thing. So I’m going to have God
apart from His Word. Now if you have God apart from His Word, I’m
going to tell you something, you just judged yourself and you’re going
to the lake of fire. That’s true. 

Now it sounds very difficult for people to receive that and they’d
want to challenge me. Well if you do, you come up here and challenge me
and I’ll say fine you take your seat and both of us come back in two
days. And you’ll be dead within those two days. I’ll have
information like this. Go through the tapes, go through the Bible,
you’re gone. Why? I can give you one reason right now why you don’t
have a prayer outside of what I’m telling you. And any argument you
have is specious (having deceptive attraction or allure; having a false
look of truth or genuineness though lacking true merit) because God and
His Word are one. Rhema Logos, the Jehovah Elohim. You can’t get by.

There’s one conduit. There’s one mediator between man and God, the
man Christ Jesus. There’s one conduit of the Holy Spirit and that is
the Word of Almighty God. The words I speak unto you They are Spirit and
Life. That same One that said that is back here not in a human figure
although there was an incarnation to a very limited degree, very, very
limited you understand that. But there was a complete manifestation in a
Pillar of Fire and thorough a prophet. The same one is saying the Words
that I speak unto you they are Spirit and they are Life and there’s no
life outside of this Message. 

So if you want to end up in immortality or you want to come out of the
grave in this end hour, there’s only one way it can be done and
that’s by that Word so therefore you always keep it in mind. You keep
it in mind. Now you’ve given your last look to the pit from which
you’re digged and the pit of course is the whore harlot church, and
you got in there by reason of what was in the world today. But now that
you’ve got out, you don’t look back there. You go forward with the
Word of God today. Now I know everybody likes to add to the Word and
they want to embellish the Word, I’m going to tell you. It’s fine if
you want to jump scream shout and drown out the sermon. You go ahead and
do it. If you haven’t got that Word, forget it.

17min 45sec…Brother Branham steadfastly declared that the time of
Noah; it wasn’t God bringing destruction upon the earth, it was the
people in Noah’s time doing it. They let off a bunch of these atomic
bombs…started a reaction…just blew things plumb out of cater. Even
blew the earth out of cater. And the earth's getting worse, it’s more
and more like a poor ole pear and it’s just wobbling. God’s got to
bring it back in its right axis in relationship to the sun… especially
s-u-n... Now notice how we’re coming up. We’re coming up in our
relationship to the s-o-n…son of man manifested. And that’s putting
us in direct alignment with the s-o-n. Yup, and bringing us plumb back
to God, bringing us back into our proper orbit. 

19min 50 sec…You know the evening and the morning were the first day
and we’ve had a lot of that. In other words, dark coming to light. And
now we’ve got darkness coming to light and there isn’t any end. What
we’re coming to now is immortal. That means no death to the physical
and it’s eternal. No death to the spiritual the whole thing is right
here before us. I hope we never lose track of that. I hope we don’t
lose track of that. It’s not any longer ‘there dawns to me a bright
tomorrow’ it’s here. Today is tomorrow, time and eternity have
blended. Paul warns us that there’s nobody going to cross over so
let’s understand this flat. It’s my job to exhort as a little
pastoral thing I do now and then. Nobody’s going to cross over if you
keep in mind anything but the covenant promise of this hour. 

That’s what happened to Israel. They looked back and they filled their
minds with Egypt the garlic and the leek. Remember that’s the same as
Pentecostals now looking back. And the Bible distinctly says they had
every opportunity to put that in their minds and go back and there were
those that did. And out of twelve major giants; stalwart men of Israel
hand-picked that went in to spy out the land, only two came back out of
ten. That’s the best count you could get out of ten ministers, two
would be faithful to God and give you the truth. Twenty percent is a
pretty big percentage though under some conditions. It said they did not
keep in mind and you know what happened? Joshua could not give them
rest. That man could not do a thing for them. And that man was
commissioned by God who said ‘I’m going to go with you and take you
in’. Think it over folks. There it is right on the wall. What you
going to do about it? This is not some little puerile question that
doesn’t need to be answered. This is life or death this morning. Yes
sir. Beautiful day out there, signifies a beautiful day ahead of us. A
little bit of wind out there could signify the mighty rushing wind that
came at Pentecost. Tell me when it stopped rushing. People just got out
of its draft, that’s all. Just walked away from it. 

23min 45sec…So we appreciate you all and love you all and just say
these things that you keep in mind. You keep in mind. Because what you
keep in mind you will talk about. What you talk about will go down into
your heart and there it will take root. And the next time you say it
because you get more and more use to it, it will become more powerful.
Right. And then, hey look, everything in the world is tending toward
power. But the world’s power isn’t going to work.

30min…Last Sunday mentioning about the weather how bright the sun was
shining there this Sunday morning and typing how that we got a nice day
dawning. I’m looking out and I see the snow falling and I wonder if
you realize that snow is mentioned in three distinct areas in the Bible.
Starting back in the book of Exodus and then to Numbers you find where
they first mention the snow is that…it’s the same time leprosy’s
mentioned where Moses puts his hand  within his bosom and pulls his hand
out as white as leprosy. Now you realize that the man was right handed.
He would go to the left side signifying the heart is desperately wicked.
And out of the heart comes all the diseases and everything that are upon
the face of the earth today and mankind. 

And the second time leprosy’s mentioned is when Miriam exalted herself
against the prophet. And leprosy is a disease wherein your body rots
while you’re standing on your feet. That ring a bell? Alright two
mentions of leprosy, two mentions of snow and we’re talking about
snow, as white as snow. Moses' hand was white as snow with leprosy;
Miriam was as white as snow with leprosy. That makes you to think too if
you want to start thinking the two spirits at the end time are so close.
Which is which? 

Now you’ll understand why I said that when I tell you about the second
mention of snow. The second mention of snow is found in Psalms 51:7,
Isaiah 1:18 and David in his penitent prayer of having done the terrible
deed he did wherein he sowed, he would reap the rest of his life even
though God had forgiven him. He said wash me and I shall be whiter than
snow. And Isaiah 1:18 though your sins be as scarlet they shall be as
white as snow… the blood of Jesus Christ cleansing all sin. Brother
Branham made the cogent remark of course that came down to him from
other people who knew; and that is if you look through a red glass upon
a piece of cloth that is red, the cloth will turn white. So now you have
a tremendous revelation of the righteousness of God by the shed blood of
Jesus Christ wherein we are whiter than snow.

Then the third mention of snow classifying it; is where you come to
Matthew 28:3 and Mark 9:3 and Revelation 1:4. And in there you’ll
notice the garment of Jesus even the other two glistened whiter than
snow which signifies the dazzling sun shining down upon the snow and
without a revelation it blinds you. Nobody can stand the sun reflecting
off the snow without glasses for too long or you become snow blind you
can literally destroy your eyesight. How many people today have had
their eyesight destroyed by looking at that which they could not stand.
They looked at it too long. Nothing went into the heart into the soul to
do them good and now it becomes an avenging sword.

The Word of God that was sent to heal on one side will exacerbate and
make more violent and problematic the very sins that beset the world
today. In Revelation 1:4 you notice his garments were white as snow and
his hair as white as wool. Signifying again that One, the Pillar of
Fire. You got His picture the Pillar of Fire. You don’t see the One in
the Pillar of Fire of course that’s impossible. 

No man has seen or ever will see. But we see Him in our midst today as
snow. And you’ll notice again the connotation there is once more the
‘washing’. And in the washing you see the Bride in Ephesians the 5th
chapter being washed by the water of the Word and you notice she comes
forth in Revelations chapter 22 after reading verse 10 about where it
says “seal not the sayings of the prophesy of this book for the time
is at hand”. When you go over there at the very last chapter when the
book is unsealed it said “blessed are they who wash their robes.” 

You come forth then with a perfect righteousness which is not only
imputed but is actually granted and made known at this time that the
Bride has washed her garments and she stands there in the glistening
white robes absolutely made perfect along with those who have gone on
before us. And so no matter where you turn in nature I just want to ask
you one thing. Can you find anything in nature that’s not in the Word
of God? No it’s right there because God shows Himself and His whole
plan but it must be revealed to us. So when you go out and see the snow
and it kind of bites you, be happy, it's a perfect picture all through
the Bible.      

41min 15sec…I’ve heard good reports that you been hearing some good
sermons of Brother Branham’s which of course is what we base
everything on. And you are remarking that you’re understanding so many
things that Brother Branham has been saying because you’ve learned
well on the various principles that are here. Now remember those
principles are just as unchanging as God. I realize that many people
would hesitate to believe that principles would be unchanging as God but
I’m talking about the Word. And so what I’m saying is there's the
correct division of the Word based on certain rules that God Himself has
laid down because that’s within God Himself. And so when you deal with
what is manifestly proven to be various guidelines and various helps,
then you’re going to be always right. 

You know the Bible speaks of helps and governments and when you have
those helps and governments set within the church, I could hardly
believe…and we’ll hear that tonight especially…you won’t hear
those words but you’ll hear it if we get time. I could hardly believe
for one moment that anybody would be helped outside of the direct appeal
to the Word of God. I could hardly believe that. I know many people
would love to believe they're being helped and many people would love to
believe their helping.

But all you got to remember is in the Garden of Eden; Eve got a lot of
help. She got it right from the devil. And Adam got a lot of help; he
got it right from Eve and we’re still paying for it. So helps and
governments can’t be outside the Word. 

How desperately earnest we should be in this hour to stay with this
Word. Not change one iota for our own convenient thinking;
self-aggrandizement; the puffed up mind that wants to know what nobody
else knows…but I know. You know, I sure hope that Paul had a stronger
stomach than I’ve got. Because I just get queasy talking about what he
already talked about. About those people that get puffed up and think
they know something on their own. 

1hr 8min 36sec…People are optimistic many times and have their faith
in the wrong place, see. The frost came cut down Luther. The frost came
cut down Wesley. The frost came and cut down the Pentecostals. But I got
news for you. This is not going to be cut down. I want you to know that
because this is what this Message is all about. You don’t have to look
for somebody else or something else. 

If you’re not content with this then you tell me or go to your Bible
or tell God what you want. Tell God He made a mistake in that man right
there, just can’t be done. No man was infallible outside of that man.
There’s no man to come and follow the three; Moses, Paul, William
Branham. The only one that can come is number 4 and that is that Pillar
of Fire embodied, that Spirit’s that in our midst, incarnated in the
body that we know as Jesus. God said He raised the body, put him on that
throne. 

Now we’re going to meet him in the air and crown that one…not
William Branham now; No! No! No!…crown Elohim, Jehovah Elohim in the
form of man King of kings and Lord of lords. We’ll come right back
with Him on this earth and set up a kingdom. Now listen that is Thus
Saith the Lord. You say,  “Brother Vayle, aren’t you afraid of
that?”  Hey, what have I got to lose? I believe it. Shouldn’t I
testify to what I believe? You know if you’re ashamed of your wife or
ashamed of your husband, you better divorce right now. Get out of the
picture. She doesn’t need you and you don’t need her and vice versa.
We’re in a marriage. We’re in a marriage this morning, a contract.

You know what a contract is? It’s a bunch of words put together that
have got to come to pass. Got to be listened to, got to be adhered to.
Right? Do you believe the blood secured the contract? Made a way for it?
You believe the Holy Ghost came down and settled on us and said ‘this
is the way it is’. You believe you’re a part of what you saw? You
got to get there folks this morning; you don’t have another choice. If
you've got another choice then there’s another savior besides God,
there’s another Word besides His Word. There can’t be. How can you
have a vindication of two separate Words? See, so I just thought I had
better tell you that this morning because out here pretty soon you’re
going to maybe see some things come up. That’ just natural spring, the
frost can get it. But this is different with us. Easter symbolizes what?
Spring the resurrection. 

1hr 16min But it’s a good day coming, a good day coming. And you might
say the sooner the better… that’s true it is, I agree. But you never
want to force the hand of God. You start trying to force the hand of the
Lord, things multiply. Trying to force God’s hand is to get your eyes
on trying to make something work that isn’t supposed to work before a
time. And it just brings sorrows later down the road like the Bible said
when God’s hand was forced by Israel.  They said,  “Can God supply
meat? Can God supply a table? Can God do this? Can God do that?” They
begin forcing His hands and the Bible says He granted their request but
sent leanness to their souls.
