Lee Vayle, 3/13/94-5/22/94

5min 50 sec…We can see all these events which are transpiring and you
notice the thing is we are being hit right now. Who is this William
Branham? Why he died a drunkard. Why he was just a hillbilly that got
too big for his britches. Who are these guys telling us these things?
Why you’re just saying nobody’s in but you. They don’t believe
that 8 people made the ark, we do. That’s all, they're just
unbelievers, their believing unbelievers; their believing in the wrong
thing, unbelieving in the real thing… see. Never forget the truth is
as day by day every breath brother/sister every moment we are thinking
and looking at this Word. There is life and transfiguration being
imparted. It is a series of events. It has started; everything is going
on now. It will not quit sweeping until the New Jerusalem. The Lamb on
the throne the Pillar of Fire above the throne and those ordained all
there.

10min 28sec… (Bro Vayle was talking about an Eskimo that just took out
his knife and jabbed it into the stomach of another Eskimo for no
reason… no God, no conscience, nothing.)… What I’m trying to say
is this, if the heathen did everything they did and some places their
still doing it. What will be in a land that totally denied God and they
know better. There is no relevancy so therefore if there is no relevancy
there…there must be the gravitation to the devil. Left right, left
right, good bad, cursing blessing, God, devil, righteousness
unrighteousness you can’t get away from it.

 What do we expect today? This is what horrifies me. I think as nothing
else does as I view the future for people in this hour. They seem so
dispossessed of the rational spiritual reasoning toward God. To cling so
close to every Word and to live It the best you can, giving yourselves
to God, that you might not endanger yourselves and your children.

It’s right in this message this morning. I don’t like to throw wet
water at anybody, dampen people's spirits but I want to keep you always
aware of everything in this hour because that, as you will see in this
message, is that secret. Knowing the hour in which you live, and if you
are aware and put your trust in God for the promise of this hour; not
yesterday, not tomorrow, but this hour and yielding yourself, vessels
unto Him, there is no way that anything can go remiss.

Like Lloyd read it this morning, I’ll likely read the same thing;
it’s in my notes here. There is no Word of God that is void of power,
there is no Word of God that will fail. And we are a part of Him. We
will not fail either. But there’s always that margin in there where
God warns and stresses. Don’t take Me and My Word for granted as
though you can just say, Hey it’s going to happen. It’s going to
happen to me”. That’s not the attitude. That’s your legalists or
far out Calvinistic ungodly perception.

Christians don’t act that way and talk that way. They’re in fear and
trembling and it’s a fear and trembling that’s a good fear and
trembling. Not fear and trembling toward God. It’s knowing we’re all
fallible but He can make us infallible.

24min 28sec…This is where we find so many people and this Message I
believe is inundated with it is they can take the fact of the prophet
knowing something is there and then they begin preaching from conscience
sake. In other words they don’t even understand report and report. You
understand what I’m saying. Because who has believed our report,
that’s a complete manifestation. But what does it report? From whom is
it coming and what does it entail? Well if you’re like Tommy Osborn,
"Oh this is great. This is the Bible, we can do this." Forget it! Judas
can do it. So forget it. The whole point is lost.

28min 56sec…Now in verse 42…never the less among the chief rulers
also many believed on him but because of the Pharisees they did not
confess him lest they should be put out of the synagogue for they loved
the praise of men more than the praise of God. Now hold it right there.
See there, once more you are seeing men who will preach this because of
conscience. Now you say, their conscience was so bad…that’s
absolutely right. They saw it, they couldn’t help but understand
there’s something here that’s tremendous that’s great. But notice
what; they could not leave the synagogue. They could not come out of
their organization because they love the praise of men more than the
praise of God. Yet all the time knowing that something was here. Now you
put in with a bunch of preachers, what have you got? Their so smart that
they’re not going to turn down the things the prophet said. No!
Because there’s a vindication there; but they won’t preach them
according to truth. 

Ask again who came down. The Lamb came down? The Lamb didn’t come
down. The Lamb doesn’t come down until Revelation 19. The Lamb is on
the Fathers Throne. We’ll talk about some of these things today.

But let’s understand this. You’ve got the same thing happening right
today. They love the praises of men more than the praise of God. Oh
yeah, have fellowship be with us. I’ve been all through that muck and
hog wash. You could be the greatest guy in the world in this Message if
you put all the dirt under the carpet and believe anything. “Well, we
believe the prophet. We believe this.”  Do you now? Come on let's find
out. 

They hate to take a stand and I’m going to tell you; you take a stand
for this Word you’ll be crucified. But you know something? Eight
people made the ark .You understand what I’m saying? You get to the
place you got iron in your soul. You say, “Brother Vayle, I don’t
think you should have iron in your soul.” Well you think what you want
I’m going to think what I want. You say what you want; I’m going to
say what I want. If you can’t stand here this morning live die…or as
Brother Branham said,  “sink or drown”, you don’t even know what
I’m talking about.

And he that would hinder one person against that stand, you better watch
where you are because you’ll go with those that are drowning. Well
that’s just a word of advice and a word of warning. You got to stand
like you never stood before. Because we’ve only begun to see some of
these things begin to take place.

31min 55sec…They didn’t want to be put out of fellowship. They loved
the praise of men more than the praise of God. Now what is the praise of
God? Huh? What is the praise of God? To see It and stand with it. You
want praise of God or do you want praise of men? You just mention who
you set under here their going to hate your guts like they hate mine.
Now if you want to be praised, you go someplace else. I can tell you
several places to go. You’ll be a hail fellow, well met plumb around
the world, no problem. You get a couple of liars running around the
world preaching; you find them preaching anything but what Brother
Branham said. 

Even one guy runs around the world, he’s the great teacher burning
light to Europe. I wished I’d saved his sermon and played it for you.
Some guy had some crazy dream and he compared it to Brother Branham’s
“Thus Saith The Lord.” You tell me, has that man got something for
you? I want to know, has he got something for you? Some of you doubting
it? I’ll try to get the tape and play it for you. 

36min 04sec…I am come a light into the world and whosoever believeth
on me shall not abide in darkness. I’m come a light into the world,
What’s he talking about? The vindication up here, talking about the
report, God’s Word being fulfilled.

38min 57sec…Now men go back in their minds and say that’s ok for
that day but have we got the spiritual values within us that brings this
right to the Omega? Say that’s my day in which I live. I’m going to
tell you something. If people in this Message believed that, they
wouldn’t be running here and running there and wondering this and
wondering that. That’s why hearts are still disturbed and wondering is
this it.

Look you got to come to the place live die, swim or drown, or sink or
swim is what the world calls it. You got to come to the place where
there’s a dedication. Now we have seen the Alpha in the Word of God
here and we have seen the Omega. And from this moment there is no way to
ever change our minds again. Say, “Well Brother Vayle, if I get to
that place it could be that I’m going to draw my hand back. I got news
for you; there comes a day when you couldn’t draw your hand back if
you tried. Cause let me tell you something. We have come to the place of
stepping over a precipice and once you get your foot so far over the
precipice, gravity takes over. You bet it does. There’s a point of the
perpendicular and you get past that one place, there’s no way you can
hold back. You can flap your arms and kick all you want, but you’re
not going to get back. And when you get to that place there’s only one
thing, you’re going to go up or you’re going to go down. 

41min 8sec… Now one thought before I set down and I’ll come back a
little later on. I want you to notice Jesus said, He that seeth me hath
seen the Father. Now if that’s the case he that hath seen me hath seen
the Father;  what about today if you should see the Father? Have you not
also seen the Son? Now let that sink in this morning. Huh? The days of
the Son of man. Who’s doing it? God in the form of the Holy Spirit.
And who are you seeing in the midst of the church this morning for 7
church ages. Say it again; he that hath seen me hath seen the Father.
You believe that? Doesn’t matter if you believe it or not, point is
it’s true. Brother Branham said you’re looking at me aren’t you. 

1hr 6min 45sec…What kind of peaked my interest this morning was the
fact that he said see those licks of fire…all nine gifts and you
haven’t lost one of them. Now my point this morning is this, as we get
along with this Message it becomes more and more mechanical, it becomes
more and more a matter of erudition on the grounds that the Holy Spirit
is not given with sensation or any type of manifestation. It’s piling
Word upon Word and of course we’ll all be accused of being just
experts in the mechanics and we just have a mental revelation, we just
have this and that. I ask you a question? If Brother Branham had so
much, how come he got discouraged? If he had so much which he certainly
did, where was his right to ever be down in questioning? 

So I’m bringing to your attention this; that as we look back and the
ministry of Brother Branham everything was so marvelous and our
initiation into the mysteries of God in this end hour which is the
complete full revelation of all ages going now to the maximum reality. I
realize that there’s many times a letdown. We’re in a plateau. And
the plateau from the final step from the natural and mortal to the
supernatural immortal can be a very, very dangerous place. I want to ask
you a question? What have you lost? Could somebody hand out some paper
this morning so we can begin writing it down? I could give you a little
time to think it over. What have you lost? Nothing. Nothing’s missing.


If the prophet had everything, all nine gifts and they weren’t even in
use; particularly the gift of healing which you and I had to pull out of
him, make it work… gift of miracles lay there. Tongues,
interpretation, prophesy, wisdom, knowledge, you know. All of those
things lay there. What did he lose? Nothing? What was missing? Nothing.
Why was he grumbling? Why do you and I grumble?  We’re human. We’re
natural; haven’t lost a thing.  His wife said, “Bill you’ve lost a
lot of hair.”  He said, “I haven’t lost a one. Pray tell me, where
are they? Where were they in the beginning?” He said, “They were
right there.”  You know, it should make a person feel like screaming.
