Enriched by Christ Needs final proofing Bro. Lee Vayle - Sept. 12,1982 Let us pray. Heavenly Father, we’re so grateful that You’re here today. You have not left us but, You have set Yourself at the head of the Church, in order to raise the dead. And all enemies are being placed under the feet of Jesus, the Christ. Who was a man, like in our form though, different from us, we must admit. And we are grateful that He was. Or, His work would have been in vain. But now His work is completely propitious for us. And we are so happy now, that when all things are placed under Him, all things are placed under us, because we are all one with Him. And have been granted to sit in the throne, even as He has been sat down in His Father’s throne. We are thankful for that this morning, Lord, we know that it is not some pipedream. It is not some promise that cannot be fulfilled, but it is a promise even now being fulfilled. And shall be to the consummation. So, we’re grateful for that. We’re thankful, Lord, that the ends of the earth have come upon us, even the ends of the ages. We know in whom we have believed. We absolutely do, and we have the persuasion that has not been here before, though men felt that were persuaded. We know that persuasion was not of God. It was something that they added to. Which we’re not against, that’s all right for their day. But, this hour when nothing can be added to, and nothing can be taken away from, proven be a vindicated prophet, a messenger, sent from You, with Your own backing. As defined in the Scripture, which we know that; “That which is perfect has come,” [1 Cor13:10] and that ends that. And we’re grateful for it Lord, we don’t have any doubts anymore. We don’t have any worries. We just have this one purpose in life, to recognize the position and privileges we have in You, and to give You glory. With glory, You’re worthy of. Now we look to the study of Your Word, and all things that are said in Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen. You may be seated. 1. Now, I want to just bring to your attention, the fact that Bro. Branham mentioned under the Fourth Seal, that the pale horse, and the rider of him which was death. He mentioned that all things were poured into him, everything was poured into him. And that is true, because in the original Greek, the horse is brindle. Brindle; and brindle is a combination of the white, the red, and the black. He’s a brindle horse. Now, what I am bringing you up to, is the specific quote that Bro. Branham gave me for the Church Age Book. Which was, “There'll be a repeat of all that diabolical cunning, concerning the enemy of our souls, which is Satan.” Because, he is the enemy of the Kingdom. Now, at the same time remember, that all that was poured into the church, which was what was God in Christ, is now in the Church at this hour. completely, as that which has come through seven successive church ages. (And, I showed you on the board back at the other church. How that, that works. Which we’ll do later on, when we get our own little blackboard here.) That it’s all now, in that Capstone. The Holy Spirit Himself is here, Elohim is here. The Almighty One is here. Like, you know, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever.” [Heb13:8] Now, how can that apply to Jesus, the man? There is no way it can, because, He was not the same yesterday, today and forever, because, He was here in human flesh and He died upon Calvary, and rose again in a flesh that is not the same. So, He's not the same. But what he is talking about is, the fact that He said, “I am come in My Father’s name, ” (which is Jesus, Jehovah Savior)” 2. And it is God, who is the same yesterday, and today and forever. In the fact of the revelation through the ages of six thousand years, seven church ages, or seven ages for the old [testament], and seven for the new [testament]. He has never changed. No way shape or form. (Pardon the expression, I shouldn’t say ‘no way, shape or form.’) I was referring to the intrinsic God, Who, in changing His form, did not really change His form, but He, put on a form. Is what He did. So, we’re looking at that fact that, all that was in Him, as in the church. Now, this being the case, there is now a confrontation between Satan and Christ. Even before the enemy is incarnated in a man. [omit comments] This is so serious, this would jar you. And you be ready for it. Now, under the Seventh Seal, Christ comes down to earth, and He in revealing Himself is working in and through a Bride. And this is to bring her into the Resurrection, and into the Rapture, which He will do. Now at this time, there comes into existence, 1 Corinthians 1: 7-8, or we could even go a little further, beginning at verse 4. (4) I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; (5) That in everything ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; Now, notice where the enrichment is. Do you see where the enrichment is? Utterance and knowledge. Now do you see why I scream if a man says, “Presence, presence, presence, I’m sick and tired of presence.” Don’t come to me with that nonsense!! 3. Okay. Listen carefully. Keep your fingers there, I’ll read it for you in; Malachi 3:16. (16) Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. "They that feared the Lord, spake often one to another." Utterance, knowledge, the fear of the Lord, and understood His Name. Why? Because, Elijah turned the hearts of the children back to the fathers. Do you understand what I’m saying? All right, you’re increased and enriched, you’re made rich. Hold your finger there. Revelation 3:16. (16) So then because (you're) lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. (17) Because thou sayest, (they're talking,) I am rich. (They are liars. Only the Bride's rich.) increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not (you're) wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked: You are not enriched in your utterance. You are not enriched in your knowledge. You don’t even know Him. The church fell from its knowledge of the Spirit which is the true God, Jesus, which is the Christ. And the delineation which is the gospel, and the preaching thereof, she's shot. But you’re rich. You’re clothed. Your fornications have been wiped away. The shame of nakedness is a carnal knowledge which is illicit, which is a type of idolatry, and false doctrine. And denominations, you have anointed your eyes, in utterance and all knowledge. Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you. 4. In other words, there is confirmation now. And watch where it goes, so you can come behind and know gifts, anything which God can bestow upon you waiting for the apokalupsis. You’re waiting now for that genuine revelation. The Lord Jesus Christ, we’re not looking down the road. "Who shall confirm you unto the end, that you may be blameless (no guilt, and no fea in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ." [1 Co.1:8] 5. That is going on now. Now, here is the tragic thing I want to warn you of. In the state of this blamelessness, and this state of the knowledge that we have. (Are you listening?) Now, I’m very serious, because I know what I am talking of. This was brought to my attention a while ago, and it’s already coming in phone calls. The devil will slip one over on you. That you will do something that you know you’re not supposed to do, and you’ll have no feeling of guilt. And it will inspire you to become rebellious to the proper conduct in the life of a Christian. And you’re in the devil’s trap. Now, it’s already happened. We are too simplistic here ourselves this morning. And I know that within us, we feel that we can put away certain things, because they border on the line of legality. But, they have nothing to do with grace, because they swing to eternal security. They are both wrong. Neither are Armenianism, or Calvinism are right in the face of legality, or eternal security. So, I am telling you this morning, that if at any time we must be careful, must be careful now. And though it was truly said by a minister, that the deep teaching is fine, but we must not let these other things slip. Although I agree with that, it was the way that it was put, that the deep teaching isn’t the secret. The deep teaching is the secret. But, the warning is to watch out, lest you and I become enticed. 6. To think we can do certain things, that we know are not there to be done. And they will be done, and you won’t have a feeling of guilt. Now this… can come general and widespread to almost anybody who comes in and around this Message, but you will know that you are a true believer, by the fact that you will shun these things. And you must keep yourself fortified by prayer. And it is my purpose, as soon as we get the building done, and we will talk about it. And we want this done in a hurry from now on. I am not here to crack a whip, but I’m telling you, we’re going to get it done. And get it out of our hair. I want everybody to work just a little more harder, just a little more overtime, rather than Bill and Bro. Evans. And Lloyd coming in, the best he can. We’re going to have to get this done because, I want more round table talks with you, and I want more prayer. Because, it’s too late. We’re not looking down the road, fifty thousand miles and fifty thousand years. It’s now. (See?) And I’ve already told you, that I had been aware that a brother made a phone call, and I said, “Yes, my brother, let me tell you, I am aware of it, and it is already happening, and I was going to address our church on it.” And I’m addressing you now. This is part of the tape which may go out. Last week’s will not go out, except you people would want it. And I would suggest that you be wise to hear it again. Because, there are many things in there that have been said, that you ought to know. 7. That may put you right as John said, “This is the Message, which was from the beginning.” [1 Jn 1:1] And anybody that says he loves God, and shies away from the revealed Word, does not even know the love of God. He knows nothing of the things of God. And like Cain, he’ll rise up to destroy you. And my name is being bandied, in a matter of thirty-five to forty miles right from here, because I have taken a stand. And let me tell you, if I am going to get it, you are going to get it. The very fact that you have an association with me, will be very rough on you. Not my association with you, that doesn’t mean anything. Except in one way it does. But I’ve become the target. For one reason. I believe that He is here. For what the prophet said, William Branham would be an unmitigated liar, an egotistical maniac. To have said what he said, if he only meant what has been preached by Pentecost and churches so thoroughly, the Puritans, and those through the ages have always said, “He is here, in the form of the Holy Spirit, leading us and guiding us.” That is not how He is here today, though He is here that way. And has been for two thousand years. Elohim Himself, the Father amongst the children is here. He has taken Headship, to lead us out, and to lead us in. And they deny it. And if you’re not ready for what’s coming, I’m telling you how to get ready. It’s going to require the astuteness that comes, through the revelation of Almighty God. 8. The constant presentation of this Word, of how to submit ourselves to Him, who loves us. And rebuke him who hates us. And the great greatest rebuke Satan will ever have, is just standing with this Word. Because Jesus said, “It is written.” Remember, Satan came at that day to the sinless One, and he said, “Why don’t You do thus, and so? And He said, “It is not right to tempt the Lord, God.” And what I’m talking about this morning is serious, because it becomes a tempting of God. That’s right. And in spite of the Pillar of Fire as Israel marched through, they rose up against God. They wanted their own flesh, their own ways. So, you hear me this morning, and you file that in your mind, and remember we are here at the end time. We’ll talk about things we want done in the building later on, but I wanted to tell you that. Now, we want to go back to the message on, ‘Loving or Loath Him’ And of course, I’m going to cut down what I said last Sunday. I’m going to read however, beginning in the Book of Numbers 11: 4-9, then we’ll go into the body part of the Message in order to give you some thoughts I have. And they will be lengthy, but we’ll try to cut it down. (4) And the mixed multitude that was among them fell a lusting:… 9. Notice, a mixed multitude did not comprise the entire bunch. When we say ‘mixed multitude’ today in a mixture, we talk of it as one lump. But you’ll notice, this does not do it. They have neither part, nor lot with Israel, they were mixed. They were there tagging along. They said, “Don’t you dare try to eliminate me, and make me not a part of this message.” But they weren’t counted. Displeased the Lord. The Lord heard, His anger was kindled. And so on. All right the mixed multitude; (4) … and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat? Now notice, the influence of the mixed multitude. You know, you’ve got to be careful. Bro. Branham said to me privately, “It’s men like (so-and-so) who keep my true ministry from coming out.” You say, “I don’t believe that a true ministry can ever be stopped from a prophet, coming out.” I’ve got news for you. Jesus did not many mighty works, because of unbelief. I’m going to go as far as to tell you with the gift that I have, and I do not aggrandize it, neither do I lay it down and become a fool for somebody, because, I am a fool for Christ. My ministry was short circuited over yonder, that’s why I’ll never go back, even near the building. 10. Because, I may never preach what God laid on my heart to preach to His glory. Which I consider one of the greatest things God ever revealed, I may never do it. Because, my ministry was cut off. I’m telling you this morning, don’t think the mixed multitude cannot influence you. I’ve got a witness of a brother here this morning, and know more than one, that said, "I was in confusion by what went on." I believe that brother is as full of the Holy Ghost as any man I’ve ever met in my life. And is as much one with this Word as any man I expect to meet in my life. But, he was confused. I wasn’t confused. For one reason, I know the Scripture. The only confusion I had, was which way is it going? And what will be done about it? And I walked out. That holds good, to any group of people, I would walk out. Mixed multitude. Don’t think they can’t influence you. You’ll start wanting the same things they wanted. Mixed multitude wanted its own board, to elect its own members. I’ll never get to preaching, so, forget it. I’m talking to you out of my heart to you this morning. Because that’s the only way to talk, you’ll understand. You may say, “Bro. Vayle, let us elect somebody.” You will not elect anybody except the men that I put forward. And you will vote whether you want them, the same as I want them. You got confidence in me or not. I’ll have an elder, I will not have a man that calls himself ‘a pastor’ anywhere near me. Because, nobody…you'll cut my feet off, and if you want that man, remember one thing, Lee Vayle does not stand here ever again. I’m not threatening, I’m just telling you flat. 11. Because you see, I know what a mixed multitude can do. And I’m not accusing anybody. I’m just telling you from my own experience, that this Bible is right. Bro. Branham said, “Many good men, will never believe, because of preachers.” And I'm talking about myself. I’m not talking about you. Mixed multitude. (Yeah) And they shall say, “Who shall give us flesh? (5) We remember the fish, which we (ate) in Egypt freey… ( the cucumbers,) the melons, and the leeks, (and the onions,) and the garlic: Now listen, there isn’t one thing there that I don’t like. Have you ever had quail? I like spruce grouse, and grouse better than quail. But, I don’t like them when they eat pine buds, I like them when they get into the farmer’s wheat and chop down wheat. Oh, they are so delicious. Man, I could just leave you here and go home and find me a quail right now to whomp up. Quail are good too. Yeah, fish. I remember the fish in Canada that came from out of those cold waters. But, don’t try to get me up to Canada to eat fish. Forget it! Ha ha, that’s one place you won’t catch me. Now remember, It says they liked cucumbers. I like them, especially those long green ones, the burpless kind. Mix them with the onions, the leeks, and sour cream. You can’t have cows in the desert, the best you can have is goats. I’ve never heard of sour goat cream yet. 12. What I have heard of, well, I don’t think I’d like. Garlic, I love garlic. Some people, this is spiritual. They want to go back to everything the old organization had. “At least, Bro. Vayle, we had this good feeling.” Well I’ve got a good feeling, without that. All I got to do is, think about Him; and He’s here; and what He is to me. And I’ll grin like Jack Bell’s mule eating buckberries. I can’t help it. (6) But now (is) our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes. Yuck! Logos, logos, logos. Presence, presence, presence. I'm derising what do you expect me to be? Kiss the pope’s toe? You’ve got to be nuts! Might as well play tango with the devil. Nothing against the pope. Got pretty good popes these days, for a change. One guy said of old John XXIII had have been pope, Luther would still be in the church. That’s exactly right. That’s exactly right. The Catholic church will never go back any more than the Protestant’s go back. They’ll look back in history, and admit their mistakes. We better not have any mistakes brother/sister, because, Perfect has come, it’s finished. It’s polished. Can’t add and can’t take. You better be right. Your ball of wax had better be pure wax. (7) And the manna (oh it was delicious, and the) … coriander seed, (I better bring Some of the good stuff, so you can taste it.) and the color … color of bdellium. (don’t know what that is for sure, could be any color, just kind of a resin) (8) …the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, (and) beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil. (9) And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it. (Manna) Numbers 21: 5-9. All right: (5) And the people (spoke) against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have (the two of you) brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there … water; and our soul (loathe) this light bread. Heavy, heavy, heavy, they wanted something heavy. Yeah, something heavy. Too simple for them. Now, you keep this in mind when we get to John. (6) And the LORD sent fiery serpents … (and so on) Let’s go to Psalms 78: Let’s get with what the prophet had to say about it. Here’s a prophet speaking in the voice of God, as to what was there according to what God saw. [correction made] Verse 12. (12) Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. (13) He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; made the waters to stand as an heap. (14) In the daytime led them (by) a cloud…night with a light of fire. (To keep warm at night, cool in the daytime, warm at night.) 13. How you like that? Well, we’re worried about this building right now. Too hot in summer, too cold in winter. They had it made and didn’t even know it. You talk about a bunch of jack rabbits, thinking they were sheep. Could be we have jack rabbits now. How you like that? Clothes don’t wear out. Didn’t even need to take a bath. Still felt good. [inaudible ] armpits, wow! No. No, smelt good. What do people want anyway? (15) He clave the rocks in the wilderness, gave them (to) drink as out of the great depths. (Oh, beautiful, fresh, delicious water. ) (16) …brought streams out of the rock… (made the river to flow.) (17) …they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness. (18) …they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust. (19) …they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness? (20) Behold, he smote the rock, the waters gushed out, the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for (the) people? (21) Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: … Hold your finger there. Going to take some finger exercises this morning. We’re going to go back to Malachi 3:16. (16) Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD … heard (them)… Okay, back here, “and the Lord heard them,” and He was angry. And God said, (17) And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that (serves) him. (18) Then shall (you) return, and discern between … righteous(ness) and the wicked(ness), … 14. For the first time you’ll understand all about Cain and Abel. For the first time you’ll understand about worship. For the first time you’ll really know because, you’ll know right back to the beginnings. Right back where the Tree of Life was, that under certain conditions you could eat and never die. You'll could go into immortality. [Psalms 78:] (21) (He) was wroth: (His anger came up against Israel. Notice, the)… fire kindled against Jacob (the old supplanter, the) anger … came against (the princes of God.) (22) Because they believed not in God, (though they said they did, they lied) trusted not in his salvation: (23) Though he commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven, (24) And had rained down manna upon them …and given them the (wheat) …of heaven. (25) Man (ate) angels' food: he sent them meat to the full. He said, “Well, if you don’t want it, what do you want? I’m going to tell you something, you pull that on God, He’ll give you what you want. And you’ll die for it. The Bible distinctly says that He gave them their desires, but He sent leanness to their souls. I’m going to tell you, you reject the Presence of God, you watch how lean you’re going to get in your soul. You’ll begin trying to work this, or work that apart from His Presence, in other words, you and I if we do not dedicate and consecrate ourselves, (the word is really consecrate) and the word consecrate means 'to come with empty hands', and say, “Lord, will you fill them?” We’ve got an idea consecration, means go to the altar, lean on the altar and say, “O God, I give you my wallet, O God, I give you my purse.” Aw, shaddup! Stupid? Ain’t got nothing. But what I want to do is give you, open your hands. (He-he-he-he-he) Turn them down. Man never changes, unless, God changes them. Okay: (26) He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind. (27) He rained flesh also upon them as dust, feathered fowls like the sand of the sea: (28) …let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations. Remember, down in Egypt he rained lice. Rained flies. (Yep) (29) So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire; (30) They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths, (31) The wrath of God came (on) them… 15. Notice, their meat was in their mouths. Their own denominational hogwash. Their own desires. Their own refusal to talk what God said. Talk about, talk about, we’re making a big mistake. The devil has crept in among us, even though I was warned of God, personally, and I warned you personally. We are all heir to it. We’re talking too much about the negative. He told me, that I would miss this whole thing. But, you see like He brought Eve to Adam, and He said, “Adam, you are going to fall afoul of Me, because of her.” And Adam said, “Beautiful, she's bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh. And she is woman, she's my wife.” And he took her to his breast, and made that imprint there, would never faded. God said the thing to me, “I want your mind continually on the things for the Bride.” And what’s for the Bride, is Him who is the Word. Don’t even look out there at that other church. But, I’ve been doing it. And I expect God in mercy to use a four-by-four on me. To hit me so hard on the back of my head, my brains will splatter. And then hopefully, He’ll pick them up, but what if He doesn’t? We have no right to have the other doctrines in our mouths, or anything else. But it’s the continual understanding and expression of His Presence, the Manna. Which is in the form of the enlivened Word. In which is the Spirit of Almighty God. The wrath of God came upon them and slew the fattest of them, and smote them from the chosen men of Israel. The leaders. Says, “He smote them.” God told me, the day of Annanias and Sapphira had arrived. I don’t know if that is for me, or for somebody else. You say, “Bro. Vayle, you say God tells you a lot of thing.” Why shouldn’t He? Can’t He talk? And can’t I hear? When does the Scripture say: "I the Lord God, deaf and dumb, upon My hand there's not a thumb. Upon my feet is not a toe. I neither do, not do I go, I’m stupid. Nothing lies within My will. You can sit there still, as still, but nothing will I do for you. Because I am deaf and dumb, and blind." Did He? Don’t be ridiculous. He talks. And the voice that John heard, was conversational. The way out is the Word. Because He's indwelling His Word. 16. John 6:45-69, I love the Book of John. The sixth chapter and eighth chapter are really beautiful. Beginning at 45. (45) It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God... Wrong translation. All thy children, the children are always taught of God. God is His own prophet, He is His own messenger which is an apostle, He is His own teacher. He’s His own evangelist. He’s His own pastor, give Him a chance. That this is found in earthen vessels is not to deceive that. Or dislocate, or, set it to one side, because God warned. As Bro., Branham said, “If He’d had sent an angel, they’d had listened, but He sent a man.” And they said, “Who’s Moses?” and Miriam said, “Yeah, I changed his stinking diapers.” He ain’t so hot, if it weren’t for me. And the church says, “Come into my doors, I’ll put your name on my book, and I’ll take you to heaven.” They’ll take you plumb to hell. (Fap!) What nonsense and stupidity. Thy children, the Bride’s children, the children of Sarah, New Jerusalem, not Hagar, shall be taught of God. (45) … Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh (to) me. 17. In other words, He starts right out with the process of letting you know there is a God, and He’s dealing with your heart personally. And that personal voice of the Holy Spirit will bring you right to Jesus, Who died for you. Because He’s the Mediator. He is the Gate. He is the Door. The Father’s name is only in one gate, or one door. (46) Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he (that) is God, (He said, which is of God,) hath seen the Father. You know, Jesus was the only one back there in the theophonic body that actually could see God without a veil. Evidently, that’s the way it was. (47) (Truly, truly), I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. (48) I am that bread of life. (49) Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. (50) This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. 18. Now notice, He says it, “Not die.” Now, they're already dead. They eat this and don’t die the second death. Yes sir, they shall not come into the judgement. "The rest of the dead lived not again for a thousand years. Blessed and holy that have part in the First Resurrection, on such the second death has no power. But they'll be priests of God, and king unto Him eternally." [Rev. 20:5-6] So, He’s telling you, you eat that Manna, you’re going to make out all right. [Heather, note, Bro. Vayle really chops up verse 51, he starts it, then corrects himself] (51) I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. (52) The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? (53) (And) Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except (you) eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, (you) have no life in you. (54) Who (eats) my flesh, and (drinks) my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. Now, notice what He’s saying there. That’s in the First Resurrection. (55) …my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. (56) He that (eats)my flesh, and (drinks) my blood, (dwells) in me, and I in him. (57) As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. (58) This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers (ate) manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live forever. 19. Now, He’s telling you right there, in the two voices of the two resurrections. There is one resurrection that the remaining people on earth, absolutely eating that bread will never die. This is the same as in John 11:26. “And he believeth in me though he were dead, yet shall he live He that believeth in Me, shall never perish.” There’s two groups of people there, and two groups of people here. (See?) Now, there comes a time when the Word inspired, or inspirited, or filled by the Holy Ghost. That’s your baptism with the Holy Ghost, will get you out of the grave. But there’s another time, when that same Word, for a different hour, “He that liveth shall never die.” [Jn 11:26] Will absolutely cause you that you will not die. Now, as far as I’m concerned, I’m anxious to cross over, because I know I’m going to get away from it all. Oh, Glory to God. You talk about peace of mind, and body and heart, and soul. I just want to get away from it all. Because I live under the diabolical tension of all the ages, come down upon us. I live right today with the lusts of my father’s for all these generations, of six thousand years of my parents are in me. The same as, in you. And with it, I have all of my own problems that I have compounded. And I know there is a land beyond the river, if I can just get out of this dimension, I’ll explode in waves of glory. And I want to get out of here. Because I’m going to be the same Lee Vayle. Now, I’m not trying to be the apostle Paul, any more as David, or somebody else, or William Branham, or God knows who. 20. I don’t understand why people want to be somebody else, anymore. In the light of the fact that we can just cross over, and be ourselves. I want to be me. You know that old song says: ‘I Want To Be Me’ well, I want to be me. I don’t want to be somebody else and cross over there. Who needs it? (Fap!) Wouldn’t that be great, I should be here all this time, and then be somebody else? Hogwash! You guys still have your complexes, I don’t have any complexes anymore. Do you follow what I’m saying? He's dead in one part of my brain, he turns out. You say, "Well how did He do it?" I care less. Look, all of a sudden there’s a beautiful diamond here of ten carets, and I could sell it for a million dollars or two, do you think I care less how it got here? Oh, I might wonder, especially in an uncut form or something. Not that somebody dropped it here that previously owned it. And even then, he might have a hard job getting it from me. [laughter] You see, why do I give a rip? (See?) But, He did it. He took away that complex. 21. All right. (60) Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? All right, He’s here, you’re not going to die. Who can hear it? (61) When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples...he said, Doth this offend you? (They were offended.) (62) What and if (he) shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? 21. You know something? You and I have never seen the Pillar of Fire. Well, the day we’re changed, and then it’s not necessary going to be here any longer. What if suddenly that Pillar of Fire starts whirling amongst us? It’s already whirling now. Every single Bride is being drawn into the cyclotron, of the Atom Changer. Now you think we won’t see it? I believe we will. See It go up. No, don’t stand there and say, “I missed it.” You ain’t going to miss it. They'll take you right off after Him. You'll be pulled up, don’t worry. Bro. Branham mentioned that chariot of Fire, coming down to get you. But anyway, what if we saw Him taken up? Why not? Why not? (63) It is the spirit that (quickens); the flesh (doesn’t profit anything): Now, you see where’s all your praying, and all your fasting, and everything else going when you talk about this? But when you talk about something else, then praying and fasting is legitimate. There is nothing you and I can do about certain things, except believe. The certain things that you and I can do contingent with various aspects of our lives, we do. But what people don’t understand, what I am preaching is this: He is here to do what you cannot do, though you beg and you cry, you sob, you’re willing to go kill for it, you’re willing to die for it. It doesn’t do you any good unless you’re elected, He’s going to do it for you. 22. Now, you see, that’s what we’re talking about. Then people deliberately, don’t want to understand. Some say, they deliberately don’t want to, and I mean it. Do you know why? Because they fight it. Now, when you fight a thing that is deliberate, if you don’t understand, sit back and watch. I told you, the people would get three reactions, and four from the way I preach. Now, I’m not….look it, let’s get this flat: I’m just about finished on the road, I don’t even want to go back on the road. And I’m just about finished preaching to you people, I don’t want to preach anymore. You know what? I got nothing against you. But you see, for me to say these things, I don't know what to say, I don’t want to talk about me. But I can’t talk about you because, I don’t know what’s happened to you. How would you like to be like Eleazer? “Oh, Lord God of my master Abraham, I don’t know you, but I do know that he knows you.” Don’t you think he’d like to know God, like Abraham knew Him? Well look, the only man that could talk like Abraham, was Abraham. The best Eleazer could do is say, [end of side one] “Ah…” But, he said, “You know, funny thing she got pregnant anyway” Yeah, that turn back to be young again. Now he said, “I can tell you about those two people and their, wonderful son. Because I am out here to get a bride for him, (but he said) Ah man, (he said) I wish I could tell you about the one that did it all, but, I can’t do it.” That’s what I’m telling you. I can’t tell you anything. Any of what happens in my own life, if it’s God. I can’t prove it, but, I’m telling you this. 23. Now, you see why, I’d just sooner not preach anymore. I’m going to be that mule gone to pasture, eating those buckberries. [laughter] I’m going to sit and grin. “Oh God, get me off the hook just one year.” That’s all I’ve asked God. “Is get me off the hook.” I don’t mean to die yet, just get me off the hook where I can breathe one breath once more. And I’m going to look through that window and just grin. Put a little green tree in the back yard, so the red birds can come and eat the seeds. That God will give me the money to provide for the birds. Now, of course that’s not going to happen. But I wish it could. (63) (Now,) the spirit … quickeneth; the flesh (doesn’t profit): the words that I speak … they are spirit, and they are life. Do you believe that? Yet people don’t believe that. “Oh” they say, “Well, Bro. Branham, Bro. Vayle, brother this, Bro. Sproule, brother, other brother, that believe this Message and you stand on a vindicated Word.” You’re saying that, but that’s not the same. It’s the same Word. And of it’s God’s Word, that Word is alive. (See?) 24. Okay. Chinese have chopsticks. Where in the world did they come from? Chopsticks to pick up rice? Oh, why not get a fork? They take the bowl, and whirl it in a little ball. Whirl it in a little ball then, slurppp. (Fap!) Italians want to take a spaghetti, [makes eating noise] why, I just take my knife and fork, slash, slash. It tastes every bit as good, and it tastes better to me, because, I just love to just pour my food down. And I…[makes slurping sounds] Where did those ideas come from? Let me tell you something. Those ideas were no longer ideas, or words, when they became a reality. But they’re pretty dumb in my books. When God said, “Let there be light.” There was light. Now, there’s a Word for this hour that is no longer Word, it is Light. And it’s not some dumb idea. It is God in Reality. Logos. “Well, we heard too much of Logos.” I wonder. I don’t know. My wife and I have had some tough times, but I tell you, we’re so close, I don’t know how she is going to do without me, and I without her. Now, I think maybe she could be along better getting by without me, but I could get by without her. Now, you say, “I don’t think that’s really true.” But it is really true. Because, God could never manifest Himself, outside of a Bride. But the Bride can’t get along without Him either. See, I don’t understand people. I don’t understand people. Did you get too much of my wife? When? I don’t understand that. I don't understand. Marriage has been good for me. Marriage has been very, very good for me, still good for me. This is good for me. This is a union, an invisible union with the Word. It’s very good for me. I haven’t got a bit of trouble. Except myself. I don’t understand how people look at this. And they don’t understand that in the flesh there is nothing. It's everything is in God. But God is going to work it in the flesh. He didn’t say, there would be a utility, in the flesh. He didn’t say that, let’s face it, it’s never going to come to a place, what He said has got anything in itself to bring it to a place. Except chaos. But you let that Spirit invade that flesh, it becomes a temple unto God. 25. Now, God’s temple is Himself amongst the people. There is Light. There are some of you that don’t believe He said. Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not. Sure He knew from the beginning. There's several beginnings in that one. Who should betray Him? (65) …Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except … given of my Father. (66) From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. Now, from that time on… now listen: when the Word that He spoke was Spirit and Life. (See?) That’s the time they went back. They always go back, from the Word of the hour. The Lutherans went back, the minute Wesley came with the Word. The Wesleyans went back, the minute Pentecost came. And Pentecost became the chaff and died, when the wheat-buds of the Bride of this Message formed, because the Life was in whatever is the Word of the hour, which is the Bride. For she is the Son of man manifested in flesh, in every age. Went back. (66) … and (they) walked no more with him. (67) (And) Jesus (said)…, Will ye also go away? 26. Now, here’s the acid test. You say you believe this, now comes the showdown with the nitty gritty, when God begins moving from the phenomena of calling out, into the phenomenon of calling in. Now, anybody can come out. But everybody can’t go in. For there’s a mixed multitude with Israel. And all Israel is not Israel. Some are Jacob supplanter, and some are princes, and the whole bunch are just get sort of messed up. Because as long as you're in the flesh, you’ve got a problem. I’ve got a problem. Will you go back? (68) …(Now here) Simon (said), Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou (alone) hast the words (not miracle, not power, words) of eternal life. We’re hearing what will give us eternality. In the realm in which we want to proceed, because we already have a bit of eternality, which we’re born with if we don’t get back to God, we’ll go to the lake of fire. Now, God can’t annihilate Himself. Uh, uh. No, can’t annihilate that seed. He’s got to redeem it. Or let it set there for billions of years, until eternity rolls by. And eternity never rolls by. You’ve got the words of eternal life. (69) And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. (70) Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? Bro. Branham categorically said, “I know who my Judas is.” Judas says, “Yeah” He knew who should betray Him. 27. All right. So, that’s the background. We get into the thoughts that we tried last Sunday, we started with Number one; the number one thought we’re drawing from the Scripture we read is; Numbers 11:4. (4) And the mixed multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us (meat) to eat? Now you see, God wasn’t doing it. And they wanted it. Here is where faith can force the hand of God, or constant demand of bombardment, can force the hand of God and it will kill you. Prayer is not you forcing God. Prayer is you getting under the force of God. So, that God can work His will in you. It’s a big difference. The mixed multitude that come out of Egypt. Was comprised a few times of the believers. In other words, the whole group had three kinds of believers. Make-believers, unbelievers and true-believers. Israel coming out by the prophet and Pillar of Fire. To go into Canaan’s land, is the type of what had come out of Babylon by the prophet with the Pillar of Fire, to go up to the Wedding Supper, and then, into the Millennium. 28. It was the make-believers who knew something was there, but could not place it. That caused the death from that which is below. And they took that which was from below, which was the flesh of the quail, over that which was from above, which was the Manna. Now, we read over here in the Book of James, the third and fourth chapters, how that there is something that is certainly from below. And, there is that, which is from above. And, they got confused in it. All right. This man James is saying, verse nine, the tongue is unruly, [James 3: 9-11] (9) Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. (10) Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. (11) Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter (water)? Now remember, God heard their murmurings and destroyed them. And God hears a people at the end time, and loves them. Now, let’s understand it. Now, that’s not hard to understand is it? Now come on, listen very carefully. Jog your mind, because I’m responsible for you. But, my responsibility ends if you don’t listen. Now, you’ve got to listen. You understood what I said? It was their murmuring, and their talking that brought condemnation, so it is their speaking at the end time that brings commendation. 29. Then what in the world are they saying? All right. One group is fully amenable to the Word of God, and says the Word of God, and those are the results thereof. And they're patiently waiting. Remember, I preached on the time of the Resurrection. Ephraim will not wait for the first born to come out of the ground. People right today cannot wait for that First Resurrection. Oh, they say, “Bro. Branham's got to come back. This has got to happen. That has got to happen. We will do this, and do that.” Just shut up will you, just shut up. Because, out of that mouth is coming speculations. Pure speculation. And God is not interested in your speculation, and my speculation. For, who shall teach Him? “What, came the Word of God out of you, or, did it come to you only? If any man thinks he’s full of the Holy Ghost, they are a prophet, let him say what I say,” said the apostle Paul. [1 Cor 14: 36-37] Now, there’s a group that’s condemned, there’s a group that is commended. All right. Okay. (11) (Does the) fountain (bring) forth sweet and bitter (water at the same time)? (Same place?) (12) Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. Now that’s Matthew 7: That’s the false prophet. 30. Let’s go back to Matthew 7: These are the guys with signs and wonders, but they are off the Word. Verse 15. (15) Beware of false prophets, (they will) come to you in sheep's clothing, but (inside they're) ravening wolves. 30. They have every physical aspect of being a wonderful Christian. But they’re off the Word. “What’s this stuff about the Presence of God? Is Lee Vayle starting something and going around the world, with this thing about the Presence of God?” (Fap!) No, Lee Vayle hasn’t gone around the world. How many places did Lee Vayle go last year? Let’s figure it out. Last year I went where? Jack Bell’s; Buffalo; Toronto; across to Columbus. I went around the world? Where have I been this year? Jack Bell’s; Bob Brown; Toronto; Buffalo; Erie; Columbus; that’s the number of man, I petered out. How many weeks all, together? Well I loafed down south, so you can’t call that any more. But down south, and Jack Bell’s church, I preached what? Well I preached one, two, three, four, I preached six times at Jack Bell’s; at a meeting (that's the year before last.) This year I preached, what? Wednesday, and Sunday, I guess, at Bob Brown’s, I didn’t do too much preaching. Count the number of times, how much have I preached? Hardly any. Okay. Now, this has to do with the Word. [James 3:13] (13) Who is a wise… and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good (behavior) his works with meekness of wisdom. (14) But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. Now notice, watch it, because the first sign that occurs with any dissention, that pegs who is right, that man will tell lies. Now, I’ll ask you a question. You see why I left the church? All I needed to know, once more, lies were being told, so I walked out. Forget it. I’m not wasting my time. Don’t tell me to. Don’t say, “Oh Bro. Vayle be nice.” You be nice, you go to hell. [laughter] Sure, don’t tell me to be a jackass. I preached this years ago, from Ephesians and warned you, that the first evidence of a man off the Word, is a lie. That’s back in the Book of Genesis. (Ah, it’s horrible not to get to preaching, supposed to be preach in the middle of it.) 31. Okay. Isaiah 63: 8. (8) (And) he said, Surely, they are my people, children that (will) not lie: so he was their Savior. The first thing God saves you from is the lie of the devil. Then you never lie again either. I’m talking about a premeditated lie, not some little lie with your hand in the cookie jar. Or some little answer, “Oh yeah, I think you’re a brother.” And you want to say it quickly, and get out of His Presence, because you know down in your heart he’s a skunk. [laughter] Look, I’m not up here as some legalist trying to tell you, ‘goody, goody, gum drops,’ and my, you hold your mouth just so all you can eat is little gooey tea. [inaudible] Open on me that rutabaga. Swallow cabbage. Open your mouth wide and God will fill it. I’m giving you Scripture. You don’t think I’m just kidding you? I’m not kidding you. I’m telling you some things that are worthwhile [James 3:] (15) This wisdom (descended) not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. Hold your finger there. Go back to Genesis. [omit comments] Okay verse 24, chapter 1. (24) And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind… Okay. That’s not what happened to Adam. Earth didn’t bring him forth. God brought him forth and put him in earth. What was the …?... of wisdom of Cain? To take the Word of God without revelation, and attempt to worship and live thereby. And then he told a lie. And he became a murderer. 32. All right. [James 3:16-17] (16) For … envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. Now I know you’re going to say, “Just a minute Bro. Vayle, you don’t understand. What it is, you guys are all messed up, and therefore, this has come.” You don’t understand. Eve got off of one Word, and this is where it came from. These are symptoms of unbelief. These are attributes of sin. Sin is unbelief. (17) But the wisdom (which) is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. That’s the Word of God. That’s the Manna that came down from Heaven. Not the manna of the people that live on the creeds and dogmas and the old religion of the leeks and the cucumbers. Don’t you understand my brother/sister, when the life goes out of the Word, it is finished. When it is fulfilled, the life has gone out of the Word. "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but not one word of Mine shall pass until it is fulfilled." [Mt 24:35] 33. And when it was fulfilled under Luther, it’s gone. Under Wesley, it’s gone. It was fulfilled under Catholicism, it’s gone. They had their place. But they were here first. That’s why they are the deadest. Every Protestant church came out of Catholicism. And they're dead too, they had their places. Now the Catholic church looks back and says, “Oh, if Pope John had been there instead of Leo and Tetzel, Luther never would have left the church.” That’s exactly what they said in the days of Jesus. “If we had been there, they would not have killed the prophets.” And He said, “You’re the same corruption they are.” And he says the same thing today to the Protestants. Where are the Smiths’ and the Campbells’ under the Christian church, and under the Baptist church? Where’s the Wesley’s and the Fletcher's, and the Wesleyan church, Methodist church. They’re gone, and born again. There will be large numbers that were in the Catholic church I believe will be in the First Resurrection. But they’re gone. Pentecost is gone. And I’ll tell you, if this isn’t the end, we’ll be gone. Life always goes out. And it starts at the root, and it starts moving up. Life in the seed, notice the grain out there. You never saw that corn yellow, and the leaves until down below. You never saw the wheat yellow at the top, you saw it yellow at the bottom. The life going up, up, up. And then you saw it form. And, the very seed that went in the ground, came back in a multiplied form. And listen, if Israel is in the homeland, this is the hour of the resurrection. That is why that Word is being fulfilled today. But, the life is out of everything, but those that are standing here in a certain message, you talk a certain way. 34. I don’t care what anybody says, this Bible says it. Now, you don’t have to believe it. You see I want it at meetings, I wanted a meeting on Sunday, then get together on Wednesday, and get together on Friday and say, “Hey, we really got it this week.” Then go on to the next point. I’m tired of talking to people, and watch their eyes glaze over, their eyes drop to their face to avert me. I’m tired of people hearing give me the wrong Word back. And say, ‘Bro. Vayle…” Oh, come on, come on, we’re at the end of the age, my brother/sister, either you know the Word, or you don’t know the Word. We know God, or we don’t know God. I’m tired quiz, because I want their face to light up. Halloween's coming honey. I want them jack-o-lanterns. Do you understand? With a candle inside. Oh, you say, “Bro. Vayle, I understand, that the pumpkin is the head with everything scooped out and just a light inside.” Yes, you’ve got it honey. Sweet pumpkin heads this morning. Your brains are gone, and there’s been a candle lit inside of you. Called the light of God. Oh, that makes me feel good. That makes me feel very good. Yes sir…I’ve got shoes to set my feet a dancing. " I’m shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace." [Eph 6:15] Yes sir. 35. All right. Now, [James 4:] (1) From whence come wars and fightings among you? (Do they not come from) even of your lusts that war in your members? That’s what was in Israel. What was it? Turn down God. Turn down the Word. I don’t care what comes out of that. (See?) Kill the snake. You won’t have any more snake bites. [not clear audio] Look, Bro. Evans said, [omit comments] (Quote, this makes me feel very good. Don't worry Bro. Evans, there are those who don't believe that you've got anything.) [laughter] I said, "Bro. Evans, the other day, look it, (I said) there are those who think you're a fool for trusting me, there are those who think I'm a fool for trusting you, let's try to be fools for Christ's sake, [laughter] and join in our folly." Join in our folly. "Now look, (he said) look, if you fall into adultery, we’ll pick you up, dust you off, set you on your feet, and help you. But, if you get off that Word, forget it.” That’s what we’re talking about this morning. You wonder why my patience has run out? Why do you give me one reason to have patience with that which is off the Word? If Adam had looked Eve in the eye and said, “Look, I love you, you’re a part of me. But I’ve got to leave you.” And he couldn’t do it. And he lost everything. The man that carried life, put it in that carrier, and blew it. But he didn’t, because God brought it back. (2) (You) lust, and have not: (you) kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: (you) fight and war, ye have not, because ye ask not. (3) Ye ask, and receive not, because (you) ask amiss, (you) may consume it upon your lusts. 36. Notice right there, He said, “Look, back there in the wilderness, why didn’t you go to God, and say, 'Lord, go to the prophet, and say, hey, I’m having a problem? Now, I know there’s something to this, because I’ve seen it. I know there’s something here. I’m having a problem. What can we do about it'?” No, they just went on their own. They didn’t care about God and the revelation, the prophet standing there proving everything. Now notice, He said, “You adulterers and adulteresses.” Now, that’s what He called them. Now, they weren’t out there committing physical adultery. They were doing those things which were typed in the physical wrong relationship. (4) … know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? … And Bro. Branham, said, “One Word off is the world.” That’s exactly right. What else is it but cosmos? Otherwise why is It: "Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." Then, Give us this day our daily bread." [Mt 6:10-11] What daily bread? Quail, onions, leeks, garlic. "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God." [Mt 4:4] This is that bread that came down. Give us this day, seven days; Seven Church Ages. Give us the Word of the hour where Christ is alive. 37. Now listen, this bypasses the resurrection, honey. This is why my revelation of passing over there is so acute and so keen, that I don’t have any fear. I just want to get there, because I don’t even think of death. Now listen, you don’t think the devil will let me get by with that statement. Oh, he’ll try to bug me. Just bug him right back. Preach all the harder. All right. It says here. [James 4:] (5) Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? In other words, don’t you know that if you’re truly born again, there’s something in you that comes against that? Then why are you playing footsie with it? You made a marriage vow. Then why are you looking after other women, to have intercourse with them? And mess up, that’s what He’s said here. Invisible union going on by the Word. Sure. Oh, Manna sent from heaven. 38. Number two: Numbers 21:5. (5) And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have (you) brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness?... Now, they’re saying right now, they come in, and they said to me. “Well Bro. Vayle, your meetings are dead.” I don’t find them dead. I can go to Pentecostal meetings and walk out nauseated. I shouldn’t, but maybe I can. They can walk into this dead meeting where Lloyd is leading a song service, and I’ll start to cry. Now I was going to tell you what is …?... now. Now Lloyd, get up and say, "Now, tell you what folks, let’s all clap. Clap, clap, clap. Let’s all run. Run, run, run. Let’s all throw our hands up. (You do it.) Let’s all scream." (You do it.) Tell them to cry Lloyd. Pass the onions? Little tear-gas? Tell them to cry? Tell them to soften their hearts before God. Just tell them. Won’t work. Won’t work. You’re dead. “Your meetings are dead Bro. Vayle.” Years ago in Lima, when I was trying to set the church in order for a certain man on gifts of the Holy Ghost. Because Bro. Branham had taught me well, not only on tapes, but with private interviews, yes, with private interviews. Well he said, “Bro. Vayle, (he said) the meeting would be dead.” I said, "You trying to tell me, Bro. Branham’s meetings were dead without the gift?" He blew it. He blew it. I not trying to get rid of gifts or anything else, set them in order. “Your meetings are dead.” Well, what would you like? Ha"! We want this in Pentecost." A new patch on an old garment. Wine in old goatskins. See what I’m talking about? That’s what I did. Quite a controversy with God. The controversy with God is, Lord there is no such thing as you really fulfilling your Word of the hour. What it is, the Word has always been there and, blah, blah, blah, blah. Shout, shout, shout. Mock, mock, mock. Haven’t got enough brains to shut up. But they know there’s a Word for the hour. But they want to deny It. You know why? Because they, “Oh we always had Him. We’ve always had Him. We’ve always had Him.” Have you really? Well maybe, but not in this way. They got mad at God. 39. All right. The make-believer, the unbeliever, cannot actually stand the spiritually revealed food of the hour. Eventually, they will rebel and lead others astray. They will cause division, and hardship, and judgement. As Jesus said, to them, “There is no place in you for My Word.” But, you’re standing here as though you’ve got a part in It. And you’re fussing, when you ought to just go down the road …?..., and leave Me alone. Now notice, those Pharisees could not leave Him alone. They knew something was there. And they said, “What are you?” “Well.” He said, “I told you.” “Na, na, na, na, na, we don’t take that.” “Well, (He said) if I'm going to deny what I say, then I’m a liar just like you. Where does that put Me?” That’s what He told them, told them flat. “Oh,” they said, “Now, just a minute.” He said, “Now you just a minute. I want to tell you something.” He said, “You cannot hear My Word, there is no understanding in you, because there’s nothing in you to get it.” Mixed multitude. Israel is not Israel. He says, “I know you’re Abraham’s seed. But you seek to kill me.” And He said, “You’re not Abraham’s children.” Ishmael, Abraham’s seed. But not child. Though He was in the loins of Abraham. 40. Let me tell you something, there were billions in the loins of Abraham. With the male ejaculate of the sperm, so small, 15,000 goes across the diameter of one hair. It’ll go miles into space if laid end to end. Of one male, male ejaculate. But only one, reaches the proper egg, at the right time of the proper one, to bring forth a child of God. God’s computer-like mind, that is really amazing. Now listen, crows will eat dove food, but when the smell of a rotten rabbit, reaches their little bitsy nostrils, the dove food… Presence, Presence, Presence. And I’m not saying anybody’s a crow, or anything else. I’m just saying the action and reaction that comes out, and it can happen in a mixed multitude. It can happen to Israel, it happen to anybody. So you watch your step. You can sit here and say, “We have heard, enough of the Logos.” Have you? When His knowledge alone will transform you, you’re telling me you don’t care for the First Resurrection. You don’t care to be in the Bride. You tell Him exactly what’s in your heart. Because you can’t help yourself. Any more than, I can help myself. Now, if you’re silent, that’s your tough luck. I told you, I’m in one place that I can preach, this place here. Until the Evans’ get mad, and they’ll get mad. I’ll give him five thousand dollars to bulldoze it down and set it on fire. It's yours, I guarantee it, put it in the bank for you. Not fooling. Not fooling. You think I am, you’re wrong. 41. Jesus in; John 6:60. (60) Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? (That’s about eating the bread.) (61) … Jesus (said, alright, I know your murmuring, I know they're murmuring out there, does) this offend you? He said, “What if I follow it up, right down the line?” (66) From that time many of his disciples went back… They couldn’t take it. But those that stayed with Him, because they said, "This is that Word." And all He gave them was a Word, based upon a vindication. Now, He didn’t say, “Look, I’m going to stand here and prove this thing that I said.” He just said it, and, they believed it. John 15: 24. (24) If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. People say, “I don’t hate Him.” But the Bible says you do. (See?) John 10: 33. (33) The Jews (said), … we (are going to) stone (you); (and He said, For what good works do you stone me?) (He said, we don’t stone you for Good works; (but you,) being a man, (makes yourself) God. (That’s blasphemy) Well, what is a prophet anyway, but God to the people. And if a prophet was God to the people, what would God in human flesh be? He’d be a man too. Because that’s all He could be. He’s got to be in somebody. 42. Now, back at Numbers 16:1-3, we saw the princes rise up against Moses. Notice the leaders. Who came against Bro. Branham at the end time? The same as the Sanhedren did, the leaders of the congregations came against him. Here is seen the repudiation of the Message, and the messenger. (See?) They couldn’t take it. Jesus said to them, He said, “I and My Father are one.” Absolutely. Now, remember John 3:16-21 says categorically, that there is no such thing as a savior, outside of a revelation of coming to the light. [omit comments] Now, go into 1 John, remember John runs all the way through from the Gospel, to the Book of Revelation. You can’t change It if you tried. Is, one man with one voice, the Voice of Almighty God. And here’s what He says. 1 John 3:11 (11) (And) this is the message that (you) heard from the beginning… Now, that’s what he said. Now, he’s not talking to disciples, he’s talking to you and me. And he said: (11) For this is the message that (you) heard from the beginning, (now) that (you) should love one another. 43. Everyone said, “Wonderful, now we’ll love each other.” Then I should love the devil. Then I should love Cain. Then when someone wants to come in, I’ll say, “Here I am, come and kill me, I’m here, come and kill me.” “When they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another.” [Mt 10:23] You know we’ve got such kooky religion amongst us, be clouding your minds (that it's pitiful) everything you read today, you translate from Bro. Branham’s Message, and this Word, from your past experiences, which is a bunch of hogwash. How come Jesus didn’t let Himself get pushed over the brow of the hill? How come He escaped out of their hands? Until one certain hour. “Here I am, here I am, here I am, come and get Me.” Did He say it? Hogwash! (11) …(now) that (you) love one another. Now It says. (12) Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. Now listen here. It is a religious war, and it has always been a spiritual war. Every physical war, is nothing but a spiritual war, come to head. Now, it says right here, that Cain’s works were unrighteous, they were evil. What was that evil work, that made him mad at Abel, whose work was righteous? Worshiping God, is what is was. Why did they kill Christ? Because He worshiped God in a manner that Israel didn’t want. Why did they kill Paul? Because, He worshiped God in a manner they did like. And both said they worshiped God. And Jesus said, “I know you’re Abraham’s seed, but you’re not his children.” Who is My Father? Who is My mother? Who is My brother? Who is My sister? 44. Do you understand what I am saying? When you get to love, you better understand, what you’re talking about. Not, some wishy-washy hogwash, because God Almighty hated Cain. And, He hated Esau. Oh, I’m better than God, because you see I going to love my enemies.” What on enemits are you talking about? You better understand exactly what He's saying here. So you’ll know which way to act. Now, He’s telling you right here, the Message in the beginning is this: there is a Message, and that Message gave a revelation. And the revelation caused a division. And the man that was wrong, though he looked right, killed the man that was right. Now what’s love? Love of the Word. Enough love where this man, would die for the Word. And Abel stood right there, and he said, “The revelation says blood before first fruits. I’m sorry.” And Cain said, “It is first fruit, regardless.” Because there is a resurrection and a I will be in it. And Abel said, “Yes, but without the blood, it’s a resurrection unto condemnation.” And he [Cain] said, “Who is condemned? I have no guilt, I have no condemnation. I am all right.” He turned down the blood, and, when his brother stood there, he killed his brother because God accept it. The Pillar of Fire must have come down and eaten up the offering, which is what It would do. And Cain stood there, and he was condemned. 45. So, let’s put our priorities exactly right. Love, when you’re dealing in love here, you are not dealing in a wishy-washy sentimental thing. You are standing with that Word, and that love, from God, will drive you to your death. But I’ll tell you one thing: the man that kills you, you will not curse him. That’s all. The man that abuses you, you may have to turn your other cheek. Let me tell you something. I’m going to tell you again. And the man that could be in this room this morning, is not here to verify what I’m saying. And I told you before, I was in my study, when Bro. Richardson was here last year, (last year July about) I was down there before the Lord God, and a voice spoke out to me and said, “You are going to take all the blame. You will write the letters and make the phone calls to the preachers that excoriated you, because of the past of Ray Bingaman.” I named the name, and, I care less. You do what you want. I went upstairs, and I cried, I was so upset. I said to Bro. Richardson, I said, “Yeah Lee Vayle, the dirty dog, the illegitimate.” He’s to blame, yeah. Though I’m not to blame, but I’ll write the letters. I’ll make the phone call. I went downstairs to write that letter, and a voice said, “That’s not the end of it, he’ll fire another letter right back, for another apology. And you’ll apologize the second time.” Gene Petrie came by. I showed Gene the letter, and I said, “He’ll fire another letter back for another apology.” I’ve got the letters in my desk. I’ve got witnesses. I’m not lying to you. And the letter came back, I wrote the second apology which I didn’t need to apologize, because I had done no wrong. But I took the place of the illegitimate, for a man that ripped me up one side and down the other, when you can't even talk to an elder, you entreat him as a brother. And the voice said to me, “You know what it is now,” when that letter came back, and I wrote the second letter. “You know what it is now, to go the extra mile.” 46. Now, you hear this.: He said, “I made you a instrument of judgment in My hands.” I’m telling you that this morning, to let you to know, if it were you, how are you going to react? If you act right, you will take the low place when people turn on you, they'll turn on you and this Message. And they’ve done it already. Cain and Abel were twins, now get this flat. I’m not talking about Pentecost or anything down the road, I’m talking about now. I care less what goes on in denominations, I care only one thing. Everybody that says they believe Bro. Branham’s Message, does not believe, or he believes in his own way. Now, I’ve paid a price to stand alone. And I’ve paid a price that none of you altogether have ever paid, that’s why I’m not understood in the churches around here, because I paid my price, and, no one else has. I left my wife months at a time, without sexual intercourse or anything else. That was the least of the worries. The big worry was what is she doing, and what are any of the kids getting around that table? Where am I going to go trusting God, step at a step? A meeting I had with Bro. Branham, though this was after the kids were away from home, and we were on the road together. My motel bill was thirty- six dollars, my offering was thirty-three dollars, and thirty-three cents. I have stood there with no food if necessary, and no place to go, and I stood there, and I stood there. You can get jobs, you can do many things. But you never stood where I stood. Now, that’s why I say, “Don’t anybody, talk back to me.” Because, when you’ve stood where I stood, you talk back, in the meantime you keep quiet and listen, and I won’t have even one preacher wet behind the ears. I did what God said. Do you understand what I am saying? 47. You’ll get it. You better know what love is. You're standing with this Word. Because, if you love the Lord your God, with all your heart today, you will love the Word, with all your heart. I’m not saying you'll avail every bit of it. I’m not saying that. But. you’ll try a lot of obedience here. But, now look it, he picked up a rock and killed him. And if you think I wasn’t killed that day after that phone call? You don’t know what death is. I said, “You don’t give me a church, don’t give me anything to make me illegitimate.” All I got was a big sneer. But, the same man later said, “Lee Vayle is the same old guy, he’s going ahead of what happened to you.” Keep your roses, and give them to somebody else, I’m not interested. Not vindictive, just not interested. See, you’re going to pay a price, kid. That’s what these meetings here in this house are all about. I can’t preach in somebody else’s place. I’m talking to you. And I’m not waiting for the crowd to get bitter, before I talk. Those that miss, miss. If they’re out playing horseshoes, or something else. Some little game, tiddley-winks. That’s their business, I’m talking to you, you’re here. Next Sunday, I start moving on. No meeting this Wednesday again, because the place is a mess. Next Sunday, I start moving on. And I start moving into the points of; why is He here? But this lets you know something. That we’re not fooling, and there’s a reality. And I’m not trying to produce anything here, except the Word. Which God Almighty has enlivened. And He said, [1 John 3:] (13) (Brethren) Marvel not, … if the world hates you. (14) We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 48. All right. What do you think of that? What’s the earmark? Worship? What caused the first fuss here? [end of side two] How can I preach one, two Gods, when I know there is only one God. One’s a man. Do you know why the man thinks I’m preaching two God? Because, he’s Jesus only. That’s all. Now, the next comes along, “I’m preaching too much of Him.” That is, if you don’t see Him, you don’t get changed. And you don’t see Him, unless you’re told. Because, hearing is seeing Him. Bro. Branham said, “I tell you, what your natural eyes don’t see, but, mine see by vision, I came.” And when he told me, I saw It. Face to face with Christ, my Savior, face to face what bliss it’s going to be. No, it’s bliss now. (See?) I’m not defending myself, I’m telling you reasons why. Look, I can defend myself, don’t worry. 49. Number three: The number two showed you how hate started, and how love started. Number three, John 6:54-58, we’re going back to the Gospel. I’m not against the emotion of love and all those things. I’m trying to show you here, there’s something in here, that you and I have, that no one else has, on the grounds of a revelation of Almighty God. And it goes right back to the Garden. You can’t talk of love, unless you go back to the beginning. And you see where it all starts. That’s why it tells you that people at the end time are talking a certain way. And you’ll not be comfortable with anybody that talks that certain way. You’ll have more and more in your home. Though you never thought I’d be encouraged that the day I’d be preaching my wife’s sermons, I’d be beginning to preach her sermon. Nobody else around. Well, she’s not getting hurt by it really. Except, she’s a little deaf and I’ve got to yell loud. John 6: 54. (54) Whoso (eats) my flesh, and (drinks) my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. (55) For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. (56) He that (eats) my flesh, and (drinks) my blood, (dwells) in me, and I in him. (57) As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. (58) This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that (eats)of this bread shall live forever. Now, He’s told you two things, the same as He told you in John 11: There are those who will die having eaten, and be raised again, and there are those who eat at a certain time, they won’t die. Now, get used to immortality. Do you know, there’s a book written by Dr. Lamb, ‘Get used to Immortality’, because he thinks he’s going to get a pill and live for a hundred years. Phooey on your pills. Reducing God to a pill? That guy’s a pill.( See?) 50. All right. Now, What I said is in background. We took that last week. [omit comments] Now, all this is back ground for the subject of: Can we be born again, and, loathe Christ being revealed to us? Can we lose our appetite for the revelation of Him, and His Presence, and the Spiritual ingesting of it, or substitute something else for it? Can we view and peruse something other than that? Living One amongst us, and esteem the substitute to be greater than, the One in whom are all things. Can we be fooled? That the part is greater than the whole. Can His gifts and His goodness, and outweigh Himself from Whom all things proceed? And, the answer is: Yes! The answer is yes! "For when they knew God is God, they glorified Him not as God. [Rom 1:21] And, one day, they turned to filthy animals, and said, “This is my god.” And, when they were let out of Israel, with the Pillar of Fire, and the prophet, and the mighty works of Almighty God, the thunderings, and the roarings. And they saw God, as people had never seen God. And a group before, they said, “Make us calves, to get us back to Egypt.” It's okay to be done? Yes! It has been done, and it’s being done. It has been done for six thousand years, and being done now. Let us not be so smug as to think it’s seeds are not amongst our churches, ready to blossom at the first watering of One rising amongst us. You say, “Amongst us?” How else should it come? For the Scripture shows us in Numbers 16: absolutely they were there, according to Korah, Dathan and Abiram. And in Acts 20:22-31, Paul called the elders and he said, “Amongst you sitting here, shall rise up perfidy, and perfidious people, who will deceive the one’s they minister to.” Don’t be afraid to look at ourselves, and judge ourselves. That’s true. 51. Remember what James says, “There is a wisdom from below, that won’t work.” [James 3:15] But there is a wisdom from above, which is the Word of God, which is God, Himself. And remember the Spirit of wisdom comes into the Church in this hour. And they say, “Who needs it?” That’s what they’re saying, “Who needs it? So, what?” They don’t understand. But we have to understand. Now these words I have spoken so far, are not to arouse suspicion, or to point a finger, but to teach what I feel. And not only feel, but know, that there is a very grave danger, to get an overload. Through the constant reiterations the fullness of the Holy Spirit is here. That the same Jesus, in Spirit form is here. That the Messiah who is Christ, Who is Logos, is here. The constant pointing to Him, and the delineating of Him, has already turned some people who are called ‘last-day believers’ aside, they can’t take it. As one man said, “I tune Lee Vayle out.” Are you tuning me out this morning? Go ahead, you’re the loser. That’s your tough luck, not mine. You say, “You’re mean.” Why should I be mean? What makes you think I’m mean, when I warn you and exhort. Bro. Branham said, “I pry their mouths open, and pour in the medicine, they spit it back in my face.” 52. I’m not having as good of luck as he had. Or good results you might say. You see? The attitude being, “He is here. So what?” Now, that is tragic. For they might not even know, It has happened. (Yeah) Let me ask you, did the Corinthians realize they were already in the death grip of 2 Corinthians 11:4, they were no longer a virgin? Do you know that the doctrine of the Resurrection was preached amongst the Corinthians, and was denied. And Bro. Branham stood there, and he said, “I tell you He's here." I am not riding the midnight trail screaming He's coming, He’s already come, and when that scream a Shout, because when men scream, they shout. And the Shout is: that One that came down. The Lord Himself descend from heaven with a Shout. That's 1 Thessalonians 4:16. But in Revelation 10:1-7, He came down, that’s the Shout. He’s here. (See?) Let me ask you. Did the Corinthians know it? No, they did not. And in Hebrews 2:1, It puts it clearly. Now, notice in, Hebrews 2:1. All right. (1) Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. That means, flow by un-noticed. They talk about two ships passing in the dark. Let me tell you something, man has to be in darkness to miss this passing of Jesus. They sung, “Jesus is passing this way. Jesus is passing this way.” Let me tell you, He is not passing this way, He is here. They’re letting it slip. Sure. They’re missing it. What about those sleeping virgins? Did they miss it, or, did they not? They did, but, oh the tragedy if one should let the revelation slip away, or, lose an appetite for it. What if they lose an appetite? 53. Let’s go to Hebrews. Beginning at 6:1. (1) (Leaving) Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto Perfection… Now he said, "You have got to leave something to get there." You’ve got to leave something behind. Now you say, “Just a minute, do I leave the principles of the doctrines of Christ, behind?” Absolutely, you leave it behind if God said, “Leave it behind.” Well you say, “My goodness me, how can I do this? That’s deserting the Word. That’s doing this.” He said, “Just keep quiet, and listen.” You see? Okay, now watch: (1) … let us go on unto Perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Now, it tells you right there, that repentance towards dead works, there comes a time when it's gone. Here comes a time when faith towards God is gone. Now listen, he’s talking in terms of a certain hour of perfection. Look it: when your bill is paid, you no longer send in monthly payments. You know, I belong to the AARP the Prudential Life Insurance Company, we’ve got it for us old boys, need a little help, me and my wife. Okay. I bought one policy, then they said, “Here’s another policy.” And they said, “Don’t send anymore payments until …” So I don’t. Now, I’m going to go to a third policy. And they say, “Don’t send anymore payments until …” So I stopped. So therefore, when Number two policy comes, I don’t pay premiums on Number one. (They’re about $6.95). Number two premiums are up to about $15.25. Number three, is going to be $32.55 for each one of us, that’s $62.50 a month for my insurance policy. It pays every single thing that Medicare doesn’t pay, so I care less. As long as I’ve got the money for everything. 54. But, you see what I’m telling you. When this quits, you do something else. But you don’t do it until a certain hour. Now It says this, when perfection comes, something stops. Now, a faith toward God. In other words, you can’t have faith towards God for this. The doctors won’t do it. What is laying on…the doctrine of baptism…the laying on of hands, eternal judgement, resurrection, eternal judgement. Now, It tells you that this won’t do it. So don’t try to make them do it. Now, It doesn’t say that these things die, and they go away. Or, they’re entirely useless where they don’t have a principle in the place. But, It says, "At this time it doesn’t work." Oh yeah, I’ve been going to the dentist for years, oh the best (I just pretend.) the best dentist in all the world. When nobody could save my tooth, he said, “Hogwash, I’ve lost just about all them now.” But, oh that dentist was so good. Hey, he was marvelous, he had the answer to everything in my mouth. But, one day I got appendicitis, so I ran to my dentist. And he said, “Son, it feels like a toothache, but, it ain’t.” See, what the dentist done to you. Now, the dentist will do me good to get a toothache again. The dentist will do me good, and I want my dentist sitting there. But this, I’m going to tell you: I want a surgeon that knows how to do appendectomies, because I have appendicitis, Right? “That, which is perfect is come.” [1 Cor 13:10] Doesn’t say the dentist is gone. It says you can’t use the dentist at this time. 55. See? That’s what we’re saying. None of these things, now they’re all legitimate, they’re necessary. You have to have them, they’re extant. But, it won’t work. Won’t work. Now, “That which is perfect is come.” “Now, he said, “this we will do if God permit.” [Heb 6:3] What if God didn’t permit? Then, you just keep on with these. And you don’t dare look for a time. You don’t dare say this is the time, unless it is the time. Now then, do you see why I preach what I preach? And my feet get cutoff by preachers don’t know what I’m talking about. And why I’m going to preach here, with an elder. You bet your sweet life. There will be nobody using me on a string for a yo-yo. Nobody’s saying, “Well, Bro. Vayle you’re not a pastor, the authority has to come from a pastor.” But, usually is a pastor. I’m say, “You're a prostitute.” I’ve got a lovely wife, I said to my wife, “Dear, let's get his one thing. “You’ve never sleep with any man but me, but tonight, I can get two hundred bucks for your services.” Don’t tell me, I’m not telling the truth, don't try to prostitute me. Because I’m not your yo-yo. I’m explaining this morning, not fussing, I’m explaining this morning. …?... should be here to get the explanation, of why Lee Valye ticks the way he ticks, and why things will go the way they go. And they’re going to have to go this way, because they will not go any other way. I just walk off the field… good-bye. I go look out my window, by the grace of God, pray for the people. Say one more Word…forget it. Now, either William Branham lied, or, he didn’t lie, when he said, "Where my gift lay, this we'll do if God permit." But, God did not permit, but there comes a time when God must permit. 56. Now listen, and He tells you the hour. "It’s impossible for those who were once for all enlightened." [Heb 6:4] It comes at the time of the once for all enlightenment, which means, the people in Paul's day were not enlightened. It wasn’t that He couldn’t. It wasn’t that He didn’t. But, they couldn’t get it, because it wasn’t the hour. Oh, you go to the secretary, and you say, “Hey, my pension check is due, the September check is due I know, (no, the August check is due) on September 1st, but you know I’m short of cash, I would like to have it July 1st. And he said, "Well, you may like it, but, you ain’t going to get it. " Now, the reason I act this way because, people think they can smart off with God. Once, the last time enlightened. Now, your pension check is already there sitting, but you can’t have it. A once for all enlightenment, and they’ll taste the heavenly gift. They’ll be partakers of the Holy Ghost. They’ll taste the good Word of God. They’ll see the power of the world to come. And they’ll fall away. And there’s no way to get back. Why? Because, they wouldn’t come to the light. There’s no more light. You see why Bro. Branham preached the way he did? And I preach the way I am. Every man in this Message has to preach this way? I don’t care who he is, he’s got to preach this way. 57. It says, “Not if they shall fall away,” [Heb 6:6] says, have been fallen away, they can never be renewed to repentance. Now notice, notice, Hebrews 6: (1) …not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, a nd of faith toward God, Oh, they say, “You see Bro. Vayle, that was laid, and therefore you don’t lay it again.” Don’t be an ass. Wake up this morning. This is to Gentiles, to Hebrews, to the whole body. He’s telling you something. Now listen, this great One, verse 10 of chapter 5 in Hebrews. (10) Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec. (11) Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing (you're) dull of hearing. (12) For when for the time (you) ought to be teachers, (you) have need that one teach you again have which be the first principles of the oracles of (Christ); and (have) become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. (13) …every one that (uses) milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: (that’s about Cain and Abel) he is a (baby). (14) …(has) strong meat (belongs) to them that are of full age,… 58. The church does not come to full age, until the last one's in. Paul could not give them the revelation of Melchezidec, though he had it, and, if he taught them, they couldn’t get it. Because, it wasn’t time. And it’s at the time of Melchezidec, God comes down. At the end of the age. God comes down before Sodom, and Gomorrah. God comes down. That’s the time when all of this happens. That’s the time when everybody can be anointed. There’s no church that’s not anointed. But, there’s only one with the Word. That’s your enlightenment. (You see?) Now, it tells you right here, when that once time enlightenment comes, there’ll be no more faith towards God. There’ll be no more repentance left. There’ll be nothing but child training. And there’s nothing you can do about it. Because, God’s going to do it. God doesn’t say, you don’t pray. You do pray. Doesn’t say there can’t be gifts. But, they’ve got to be in order. Doesn’t say you can’t witness and testify. But get this flat. One day, no one will come in. And they'll go through the motions. And they’ll look like Christians. I’ll look wonderful. Why? Because, there’s just false anointed among them. And, they’ll say “Hallelujah, your life will be changed.” And the life isn’t changed at all, by the seed of Almighty God. It’s changed by a false seed. Any church can make good proselyte, for believers. And they’ll be fine people. But the Church of God, has a Word. (I forgot to bring that quote again this morning, about ‘walking in the light’…should have got it.) 59. All right. 1 Cor. 13: [10] [correction] (10) …that which is perfect is come, (we used to know in part, but we don’t know in part any more. And Paul says, there’s a part here. But when protection comes, everything stands still. There’s no more to learn. When those Seals were opened, that One came down, and it’s all over. I’m not saying people can’t be born again, I not saying you can’t have faith towards God. I’m just telling you something. That won’t work anymore to put you in the resurrection. Because, this is the hour. “He that liveth and believeth in me, shall never perish.” [Jn 11:26] Back to the Tree of Life. Righteousness, known from unrighteousness. He that serves God, from him that doesn’t serve God. And a people talking a certain language to each other, that God hears, and He says, “Aha! There’s My Bride!” 60. So, I see a sweet little girl. Well, she’s got to be pretty as a picture. Just really nice, and I just ask the wife I’m going to marry.” And like Cole Porter, sing a song, when I'm going to tell them, (and, they’ll never believe me) that I’m the man, one day, whose wife you’ll be. They'll never believe me. That from this great big wide world, you’ve chosen me. )See?) And the man sings that. Jesus sings it to His Bride. The Bride, sings back. She says, “Well, He may loves me so much. But, I think really, I’m in dutch. If I tell Him the truth from my heart, because, I don’t think He’s so smart He’s not so lovely and brave. Oh, no. In fact He’s kind of naïve, mispronunciation there, and you see, I’m in love with the boy down the street.” Ha, ha. If my wife had’ve talked about her old boyfriends, I’d have killed her. I'd of walked out flat. I’m not interested in her interest in anybody else but me. We even have fights there, because she’s so nice to people, she loves everybody, she kills herself, she’d kill herself for you folks. And I say, “Don’t you do it anymore, girl. You’re too old, and I’m too old. You take care of me, or as God as my judge, you’re going to have another war on your hands. And we have wars over that one thing. She’s going to be nice to me, but, she’ll be nice to you. She better be nice above all, and everything to me, and her word. Now, she can cuss at me, but, she never does. That’s right, she never fusses with me. I fuss a little at her, too much entirely, because I’m a dirty dog. And, she’s not. (See?) I tell you the truth. (See?) I just will not tolerate, neither does God tolerate, people talking about this and about that, when every eye should be on Him, and His Presence. And repeating the glories and the wonders of Him, who is here, with that solemnity, and that sobriety. And that seriousness, call it what you will, in the divine Presence of God. They talk a certain way. Oh, yeah. (See?) Perfection has come. And yet, the appetite is gone. 61. Let’s go to Philippians 2:5-11.[omit comments] (5) Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: (6) Who, being in the form of God, thought it not (a prize to be grasped, and retained) to be equal with God: (in other words, stay in that area, the golden Pillar of Fire) (7) But made himself of no reputation, (oh brother, if that doesn’t smack you and me down) took upon him the form of a servant, made in the likeness of men: (doesn’t say He was made as man, made in the likeness He had His own flesh, not ours.) (8) And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. (9) Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: (10) That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and under the earth; (11) And every tongue (that) should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Now notice, it’s placing the Son in the proper perspective of the Father, it doesn’t say they are two gods, it says that there is one God. (See?) Now listen, that absolute condition that's laid down here, where God indwelt a man of His making, and choosing for redemption purposes. He chose Adam for proliferation, purposes. But He chose Jesus for redemptive purposes. To bring them all back. "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all are made alive." [1 Cor. 15:22] 62. Now, that’s the same One spoken of in John, and he uses the Word. “And the Word was with God” Now let me take you to that, because I want to read it to you the way it should be written, in order to disabuse your mind. [John 1:1-2] (1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (2) The same was in the beginning with God. Now, people say, “In the beginning was the Word. And the Word, was with God, and the Word was God.” Just read it with all the bumps and grinds, out of it. Just read it simply: (1) In the beginning was (God), (that’s right) in the beginning was (God). In the beginning was the Word, (which is God) … Don’t try to make a big deal of it. Just believe what It says. Because that's what It says. So, you know, what He is trying to do, is to describe something, and get something across by means of words, because we can’t apprehend them any other way. Now; (3) All things were made by him; … Take that back to the Book of Exodus. He made all things, take that back to Isaiah. He made all things. Now, the Gnosis who want more than one God, and remember, they’re the original idolaters that brought about the trinity in the first century. They said, “This One, by whom God created all things, because there was nothing around Him that He could see, He suddenly, thought that He was alone, and He said, “I am God alone”. And a female voice sounded, “Liar, hypocrite, You, are not alone.” There’s where your trinity came from. Oh, brother/sister, now, that’s the records, I’m not lying to you. That’s in the manuscripts that were found. 63. You get the book yourself, I read it. Yup, that One is God. Watch again, this same One, Ephesians 1: we’ve gone over it many, many times. It tells you right there in verse 15, go down to 17; (17) That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of (Himself) 64. Now, what is that? God’s own Spirit now, will be quickened in you, by the One that stands amongst us. So, that you will now receive the revelation, that even the Spirit of God in you, could not give in any other age. This could not be quickened to, (I don’t care if It’s the Spirit of God, the same Holy Ghost in every born-again believer from day one to now) could not be quickened by God, until this hour. Think it over. Let your denominations go my brother/sister. If you don’t let them go, you’re not going to follow Bro. Branham, you’re not going to follow me, because we’re preaching the same Word. It took me a long time to understand Bro. Branham putting a Word in each Age, and all. I understand it perfectly today, as perfectly as I can at this point. Doesn’t cause me one bit of trouble, because this is the truth. No problem at all to understanding that. Now, here He is today, amongst us. With the revelation. And it’s a superior revelation, which will do what no other revelation did. Because the knowledge has a profound effect upon the knower, to bring him into the resurrection. We influence the dead, without saying “Come out of the grave.” We stand there in a certain time, God says, “I’ve heard enough. The record is closed. They are ready. Come out.” We get changed, we go up. Now, that’s just too easy for people to believe. “Oh, Bro Vayle, how are you going to change yourself? Will you pray all night?" Come on, pray all night with me. And I'll laugh in your face by tomorrow morning. Because, I’ll be awake, you’ll be snoring on the ground. 65. Sure, I’m not kidding you. I can stay awake. The only time I ever blacked out in my life, driving a car, because, I had some pills, and I suddenly blacked out, with my pills. I don't back out. I can go twenty-six hours, and I won’t black out. Should I go thirty? I’d hate to do it, but, I think I could do it, even at my age. I’m not going to do it for you, not any more than cutting your throat, spilling your own blood will give you any righteousness. It won’t do it, just condemn you. Colosians 3:4 (4) (Beautiful), When Christ, who is our life, shall (be made manifested, to exactly who He is) then shall (you) also (be manifested) with him in glory. In other words, you’ll know exactly when we are face to face we know as we’re known. (See?) The hour has been proven in which we live, what Word. The hour that says I’m going to separate the righteous from the wicked. I’m going to take them in a Rapture. They’re never going to die. They are going to live, that’s the hour they know as they are known. Yes sir, we’re known as Bride. Now, any man that kills his wife, he ain’t a husband, he’s just a killer. 66. Remember, 1 John 3:2 (2) Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear shall be: we know that, when he shall appear, (we'll) be like him; for we shall see him as he is. It tells you categorically, you’ve got to see Him here in the appearing, or you’ll never be changed to go up there, where He is. That’s in the flesh, to the Wedding Supper. No way. Okay. That’s that One that speaks from heaven, for the last time. The Consuming Fire, the Pillar of Fire, coming on down. Speaking for the last time, we receive our kingdom. This is that hour, we come right back here and take over. [omit comments] All right, listen. It says here about Christ and anti-Christ, then shall that wicked be revealed. “…Whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His Presence.” [2 Th 2:8] Now, all the time I used to think, what is present up there, Revelation 19: we’re present with Him on those white horses. And the blast of the sword comes out of His mouth, and they all fall dead, and burnt up down here. But, I made a mistake. Anti-Christ, ain’t there. His Present. So, what happens? We all come down. And Jesus walks right up and eyeballs the anti-Christ. Hey, what a tremendous day. Are you with me? Is there any glamour in your souls this morning? Is there any joy? Is there something here that makes you rejoice, and we’re going to on our white horses, and we’re going to eyeball him too. Yeah. You say, “I don’t think I want to kill anybody.” You will on that day. You will on that day. His sword and, your sword, you’ll tramp on their ashes. You squeamish? Now, you better be squeamish, if you’ve got someone in mind. You’re a dirty dog, if you’ve got someone in mind. I don’t have anybody in mind. [laughter] I’m just happy we can do it. I’m happy there’s victory. I’m happy I can be a part of Him. Sure, I’m a part of this Word. And if I’m a part of this Word, I’ve got to be manifested. (Right?) Okay. I brought that to your attention, because I never did it before. I thought that was too good to go by. And it was. 67. Okay. Never forget 2 Corinthians 3:18, It is His image reflected on us, that we reflect back, so that God, and the prophet, and the Word, and we, are all one. (Yep) All Logos. How is it done? It’s done through the ministry of a prophet and the faithful preaching of that Word. And most people say that Word. (See?) Okay. It’s Malachi 3: 16-18 which I quoted you. He’s going to hear us speaking a certain way. And He’s going to say, “They are my jewels. They’re My Bride, and the only ones that know righteousness from wickedness. They’re the only ones with that understanding of true love. The only ones that have really got it.” Because, how can you have love toward any man, if you don’t have that love toward God first? How’s he going to have love toward the Word, and not have love toward God? Works both ways. He tells it’s going to be done by Malachi 4:1-6 ‘the great and dreadful day of the Lord,’ is held in abeyance. He is here and He could draw His sword and smite, but He’s here with mercy and love. 68. But, Elijah stand there with the Word. And as that Word goes forth, God stands there in abeyance, until the Word has run its’ course. Then comes the sword, because the Bride's gone. The righteous not perish with the wicked. (See?) Now, as I preached, I can never give Him enough pre-eminence, although we are to do that. No life of mine can show Him, but if the Words in my lips are indeed the revelation of Him, then that ministry of the Spirit within me, gifting me, brings Him into plain view. As the prophet said, “Now, we behold Him.” What difference if Bro. Branham says it, or I say it, or, it’s on a movie screen, coming out of a sound box? Because, the voice of the prophet, is the Voice of God. No prophet, no God. Prophet must be a God. Oh, people want to separate them. They say, “Well hallelujah, you see Bro Vayle those great prophets, God was way up in the heavens somewhere, and the prophet was down here.” Aw, shut up, your mouth, you don’t know nothing about this thing at all. God was right there. Just that simple. If He wasn’t, then He destroys the whole picture, because that’s how it was with Moses, that’s how it is with Abraham, that’s how it was in the garden, God was His own prophet. And He came way down, and He searched through the bushes and He said, “Adam where are you?’ Well, he said, “I hate to tell You, but I’m hiding.” “What are you hiding for?” Well, he said, “I am naked.” Well, He said, “Who told you, you were naked?” “Well,” he said, “It was this way, (he said) we just didn’t do right here.” The prophet said, “Now we behold Him.” Now I hope you saw the Scripture come together. Israel out of Egypt, to go into Palestine, the Promised Land, loathed the manna, couldn’t stand the same food day after day. Pining for the old food. Their excitement. Their garlic breath. 69. You know, I used to work in the BC Elections, in Canada, (now, don’t think that I was throwing off on any race. Because, I’m not throwing off on any race) But, you know the Ukrainians, ate garlic. And they would come to that ticket office to get tickets, and in one blast... (You know, I never saw that show you know, about the ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’, where the light come out, and everybody melts) Well that’s what happened to my face …I just whew. Just melt down. Do you know something? I’ve got an idea today though, when that man went home and kissed his wife, and she with her garlic breath, it was pretty sweet. (Yeah) You either loved garlic, I think both of you get used to it. 70. Pretty nice. You get used to your creeds and dogmas. That’s all you want to eat, and you don’t mind everybody eating it with you. You share breath, so to speak. (You know) You have your conversation. Now, you see, they couldn’t stand, that new food every day, they wanted some of the old. They didn’t like the fresh taste of oil. Do you realize, the fresh taste of oil means, that God is anointing every day, because, oil stands for the revealed Word, by the Spirit? It’s actually the Holy Ghost. But, He comes in the form of a Word. He’s got it. He wouldn't know otherwise. Then came the true Manna from heaven, even Jesus. They couldn’t stand His revelation of Himself, so they killed Him. Today, He is here again. Yes, the same yesterday, today and forever. The Son of man revealed at the end time. The fullness is here. Elohim is here. All in all is here. And, I said, in Him is everything. In Columbus and I said, “In Him was the resurrection. In Him is the Millennium.” What are you looking down the road for? He's here, therefore it’s there. And then some man says, “Does Bro. Branham really believe we’re in the Millennium?” That’s a preacher! Forget preachers once and for all. I’m sick and tired of it. I’ve come to the place where I believe that Bro. Branham did tell old Sam whatcha-call-em, out there, “That there is not that many five-fold ministers.” I’m not saying that I’m one of them, but I sure am. Or else, Bro. Branham lied. 71. No man’s going to come by and say, “I see a Flame of Fire, over your head, called the Spirit of prophecy. And have that I’m identified in the Word of God, and I’m going to go out and saying I ain't got nothing. I do have something. I have Him, and, He’s here. And He has me. I wish I could say He had all of me, I can’t say that. You have my testimony. I’ve got nothing to say about myself. But, about Him, I’ll say everything He's wonderful. All in all, is here. They say, "We loathe it." Can’t stand to talk about Him. Can’t you? Why not? Why not? Any excuse to stay home from church, anything at all. Doesn’t matter. Can’t stand to hear about me. How long are you going to stick around? You won’t make me mad. You do what you want. I’m throwing down the gauntlet, same as Jesus did, the same as every man’s got to throw down the gauntlet. What do you want? Because, you’re not going to get anything, but just talk about Him. And He’s here, that’s all I know. I don’t want anything else. I don't want to know anything else. Why should I? (See?) Satan, is a pretty powerful foe. Turn you and me around with his finger, any day he wants. But, he can’t turn that Word, brother/sister. When you and I become that Word in our flesh, how’s he going to turn us? You and I become that Word in our flesh, he said, “God’s going to do the turning. And, God’s going to do the making.” Not saying we won’t suffer, or won’t have bad times. 72. Not saying that. But we will, but it's alright, we’re safe and secure in Him Who is all together. (I’m just about on the dot) Elohim is here, the All in all is here, what else can we do but thank but think, and speak of Him. What else is there to think of? They say, "Well, so what?" I say, Well, what else is there?" What else is there? I don’t understand their thinking. We are consumed with the love of Him by the knowledge of Him. Like the Songs of Solomon, my soul loves Him. Like the psalmist said, “My heart pants after Him.” How then can I loathe Him, who is the Word? How can I loathe the thoughts of Logos, Who is my God. All I can say is ever more, feed me on this bread of the revelation of the knowledge of Him. Until I am become that Word, in human flesh. How can people say, “They are tired.” You see why I was angry the night I preached on the ‘[Omega] Reflection’ Aug. 15, 1982? Said, “I’ll not be a yo-yo, I’ll not have my feet cutoff. You didn’t know what I was saying, but stopped from preaching on the glory of God. 73. Let me tell you, the glory of God. Do you know that God is the God of the atom? Say, what's …?... mean Peter? [Peter responds…inaudible] That is an inter-relationship with the whole unit. And weight is what we actually weigh. Now, weight of an atom, and a …?..., is a very, very minute thing. You know that God, is the God of that? That God stands here that weighed everything, in the balance. That’s the Judge. I wanted to tell you about Him, I don’t know if I can. I don’t know. Someone’s going to answer if I can’t. Because, I have been inflamed for weeks, you know that. From my home to you Russ, you know what I was talking about. Bill, I talked to you, you know what I’m talking about. Different ones sat there in my home, when I spoke, but, my feet were cutoff. [BV raps on the pulpit] Never again. You telling me ministries, you tell me, that this great program of God, cannot be nullified to a certain degree. Let me tell you this brother/sister, it’s dangerous to stand in the way of a ministry. They stood in the way of Bro. Branham. As I stand here without fear or contradiction, the prophet told me, “You’re the only living man that ever put him forward, that ever worked with him.” Said, “No other man did.” That’s right. Why? Because I would not allow my name …?... to stand around him. I did my best to help him. And I’m going to stand here and tell you today, I’m not proud, and, I’m not angry. I’m just saying this, there’s nobody going to get in my way from now on, because, nobody will be around me. There’ll be nobody come by and say, “Bro. Vayle, I’ll work with you, or would you work with me?” In honor I preferred every man that came by, the first one that came by and said, “Bro. Vayle, I’m a pastor, let me know.” He knew I'd bring the people to him. I said, “I’ll work with you.” The day came when he rose up and said, “Bro. Vayle’s in false doctrine.” No way. No way. You can’t have a testimony the spirit is the testimony of Jesus, and be in false doctrine. Now I want to ask you. Where are the lies going around the world today? Now, I’m pinning these things down. It’s on a tape. I care less. You may delete that part, it’s alright by me, the tape goes out. 74. But I want you to know something. You may be here this morning, thinking I’m fooling. But I am not fooling. I'm not fooling, it’s down to the ground, down to the wire. Down to the wire, and I want it that way. I want to rise to the occasion, as a faithful servant of Almighty God. But I will not stand for anymore tom-foolery. (See?) It’s just over. You went through too many battles, and too much sacrifice, and suffering too, what you went through. And they’ll say a lot of things about you, but, get this flat: all they can do is talk. All they can do is talk, because we stood with this Word. I don’t care, you can commit adultery if you want to, or anything else. We’ll pick you up and dust you off, but you leave this Word, you’re shot. Now, I may sound funny to some of you, are not quite maybe up as in the field where we are after all these years, of knowing what we’re talking about. In the last two years, knowing as I have never known in my life, what the things of God are. But, I want you to know this, you may read the shell of Lee Vayle, you may look and say, “That guy’s completely out of this world.” That’s fine by me. But you know what’s down in here. And what comes by that channel. And I’ve never failed to tell you, when you’re sincere, I’ve never held one thing back from you yet. Not one thing. And I don’t intend to. So, that’s how we’re working from now on. No service this Wednesday. Next Sunday morning we’re going to start right in, going back over; "Why He is here'? And we’ll try to bring together many points. And teach those very carefully, as to why He's here. You will hear some things that are being re-taught. And you’ll begin to understand why I taught them. 75. Because, many times things are not come together even for me. Now look, I preach the sermons, I know I am right. And I’m right on tap, now again, you think I’m boasting. Look, and I’m not trying to aspire confidence, I’m telling you, “I believe, if you don’t. I’m sorry.” I believe, that’s why I preach the way I preach. Because I believe. I can’t be changed, unless something hits me over the head again. I just can’t change it. I know, what the prophet said is right in this Word, and I have found it time after time, and I’m going preach on it. There’s no way I’ll change it, but as I told you. There’s many things that I preach, and I don’t fully understand, and suddenly, it just breaks through. And, I say, “Hey, now I know why I preached that two years ago.” Now I know why I preached it four years ago. But now I know why I preached it just a few days ago. See, the time gap is coming closer and closer together. All right, let’s just go to pray, you remain seated. Heavenly Father, we thank You now for Your wondrous Word of life, and truth that has been given us. And, Lord, we do know that we do not loathe this Manna. Lord, in fact, we are under great conviction, and almost one of desperation, to the extent that we don’t know what to do with ourselves. Because, we are not satisfied within ourselves, that we are grasping and maintaining and bringing the life from it as we know It lies there. How could even if we are ten thousand people standing here, how could we ever exhaust one Word, such as when You said, “Let there be light.” It could be going on for six billion years, for all we know, let alone six thousand. Could be six trillions of years. There’s no arguing any point there. But, is there anybody that could apprehend it all? Is there anyone that could absorb it all? But know, Lord, it is a fact that the light being requisite at certain times, and certain areas, we can utilize it. And we believe that is the truth. And there is this wondrous revealed Word at this moment, which is coming clearer and clearer. And, Lord, You must forgive us if we are hasty and a little bit nervous, unsteady in spots, because it is not Your will, to just drop a little chunk into our hearts and minds. And yet, we would like it that way. But we know that the big chunk is to come. When we would become immortal, there’s so many more things to be revealed. So, Lord, just may we understand this, that that Manna that came down, and there was enough for those who gathered little, and for those that gathered too much. It didn’t do them any good anyway. Lord, may we realize, give us this day our daily bread. And, Lord, this was our daily bread. Maybe an accumulation for a weekend Sabbath, where it had to keep. Maybe it was, I don’t know. Bu, Lord, give us evermore, day by day, break now the bread of life, dear Lord to me, as Thou didst break the bread by Galilee. That’s what we want, Lord. Healings and these things are wonderful, we need some of that too. And Your prophet would say, “That sweet Spirit would come into the Church, and, coming into the Church it would be like healing gifts put on the shelf.” And everywhere, people were getting healed. Witnessing an onslaught of life against death. Overcoming it all, so men would not even die, and the dead would come out of the grave. And we know that’s about upon us, Lord. So, we can all take courage that oh, just around the corner, there’s going to be such wonderful healings. It is worth waiting for. Such wonderful everything is worth waiting for. Because, we have it now, already sown unto us. For the prophet said, “Thus it is said, and this it shall be.” These things we thank you, Lord, thank You, Lord, for grace and mercy. Again, Lord, if I’ve been too rough in spots, saying things that are perhaps not too nice to say. Forgive me, Lord God. Help me learn to temper the people to take the way it should be taken. Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be all power, and honor, and wisdom through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
