Love Him or Loathe Him  

'Take Your Stand Once and For All'

Bro. Lee Vayle  -  August 29, 1982

	Heavenly Father, we're very grateful to You, Lord, that You are with us
in this hour to help us with the study of Your Word. Which we know is
meat and drink, to our souls It is Life, And Lord, we have no apologies
for this Word, except to say, It is kind of pitiful in one way that It's
in our hands instead of angels, but then You wanted it this way. So then
it must be wonderful after all, that You can take vessels of clay, and
the riches and the treasures of God lie in those vessels, Lord, which
are here this morning. So, Father, we count it a great privilege to be
as brothers and sisters in the Word, very friendly, very much united,
very much of one heart and soul. That's the way it should be, that's the
way it will be, Lord, because there is a Bride. Not that we constitute
any …?... of it, in any way stretch of the imagination. But, Lord, by
faith, and by the understanding that we have, we know that we have been
called into the final counsels of God and the last great act of
salvation in this world. We know it, Lord, and we're very grateful.

	Now, clear our minds, O God, this morning we pray. Let the Word go
plumb down deep into our hearts transforming us in Jesus' Name we pray.
Amen.

1.	Now, I'm going to bring a message this morning on 'Loving or
Loathing'. Loving and loathing and this message was prepared back in
June, so that no one need to think for one minute that I am in the area
of sniping at anybody, that is not true. But you know, and I think if
you don't know I will inform you, that a great deal of my preaching is
remedial, because as I go around the country and I hear things, and I
see things that I understand or not compatible with the Word as taught
by the prophet, or the emphasis is in another direction I begin teaching
on in order to bring the people back to center which is what we really
need to do.

	Now, of course I admited to you that I was swinging the pendulum quite
a bit to one side when it came to the 'Parousia' on the grounds of
showing you that He was presently here, and as the messages continued,
you saw the pendulum come back, because you were able to see in what way
He was here, in what form, and what way He is doing amongst us, and for
us. And we're still in that tremendously glorious area of the middle of
the road where we see Him unveiled before us, and what His present
ministry is. Speaking of course of Almighty God Who is Holy Spirit.

2.	Now, we're going to talk this morning then on the fact of His
Presence and the attitude which must come because of the knowledge of
that Presence. And there is no grey-white section as some people believe
there is, but there is either the black or the white and it is either
hot or cold.

	Now, Jesus said, and you know that I'm telling you the truth. He said,
"Because you are luke-warm, you nauseate me." He said, "Behold, I stand
at the door and knock and I want to come in." [Rev 3:20] Now, He said,
"You nauseate me because of knocking at that door, you just want me
around and say, 'isn't that fine, He is here, you're luke-warm'. Now,
either bring me in, or kick me out." 

	Now, that's what we're talking about in a nutshell. Because we cannot
be indifferent this morning. I have preached, and you know I have
preached for over two years, (just slightly west of us and south) and
the response is exactly as I'm nailing it down this morning. As much as
people think they can be luke-warm, they're going to die for their
luke-warmness. There's no way you can be luke-warm. Either get hot or
cold this morning, and get out of God's hair and my hair. Take your
stand once and for all.

3.	Now, 'Loving or Loathing', we go to the Scripture of Numbers, and
we'll read quite a few Scripture. (And maybe I'm too tough on you
already, by saying get out of my hair, and God's hair, stick around and
enjoy it. Because believe me, I'm going to tell you flat: there's no
middle ground as far as I'm concerned this morning. It is one side of
the perpendicular or the other. Loving or loathing,) Okay.

	In Numbers 11, in other words, we speak to you decisively this morning,
or we have no business preaching. This is not a hit and miss message,
this is on target. Chapter 11: beginning at verse 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 
					flesh to eat?

	Now notice, the mixed multitude and identified in the children of
Israel are identified. And you will notice the influence of the mixed
multitude on the children. It says, one: we're lusting and It said the
others got stirred up.

		(4)	… Who shall give us flesh to eat?

		(5) 	We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the 					
cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and 						the
garlic(s):

		(6) 	But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside
this 						manna, before our eyes.	

	Now listen, what they had back there was okay at that time. But it
wouldn't do at this time. And they didn't have enough brains to know it.

4.	Now, Israel murmured. Many people don’t know what that word
'murmur' is. It is not murmur, it's repine. And repine means 'to long
for the good old days'. I'm going to tell you something, there were no
good old days in my life. Back in the good old days these people talk
about is that you can buy a wagon load of groceries for five dollars. I
didn't have the five dollars. I'd buy a small bag like this for fifty
bucks, thank God I got the fifty bucks. There are no good old days.
There are good present days.

	And when that mixed multitude got all messed up and hungering for
flesh, the children began saying, "Hey, I think we did miss something."
I miss nothing from Pentecost. When I left Pentecost, Pentecost left me.
I never was a Jesus-Only, and never will be. And when you get that
spirit on you, something happens. You never get out of it. I don't know
one person yet that ever lost it. Maybe there is one, I'd like to find
him. And I know quite a few of you. Some of you sitting here you know
what I'm talking about. That's fine, don't know what I'm talking about.
Just believe it anyway.

		(7) 	And the manna was as coriander seed,…

5.	I almost brought some coriander seed, and let each of you munch on
it. Coriander seed is a very fine condiment. I wish I could cook like
the people that use it. They make the best stews in all the…my wife
won't agree, she ain't no connoisseur anyway. Except when she married
me. [Bro. Vayle chuckles] It's delicious. East Indians, fabulous cooks.
Orients, it's coriander.

		(7)	… and the color (of) the color of bdellium.    

	Now, that's a resin. I suppose therefore, it's kind of amber. (I don't
know) Maybe it could be blue. There's resin, all kinds of different
colors. Most resins I know are kind of amber, some are white, like I'm
sold out of …?... I don't know.

		(8) 	And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in
mills, 

	Now, it must have gone hard. It must have been worked with in many ways
in shapes and forms. It was versatile. It was good for them.

		(8)	…and (they) baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the
taste of 					it was as the taste of fresh oil.

	You know, fresh oil has got a nice taste to it. Ever tried almond oil?
Delicious. Oh yeah, just that rancid stuff kill you. Fresh oil, fresh
oil everyday.

		(9 )	And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell 
					upon it. (Dew from Heaven, bread from Heaven.)

6.	Okay Numbers 21:5. Now, we're beginning to get the ground work of our
subject as you can see.  All right:

		(5) 	And the people spake against God, and against Moses…

	Now, you know why they spoke against God? Because God gave them that
Manna as their food. And said, "Hey, this is going to get you over
there; now that you've come out, this is what I'm giving you to
substitute for every single thing that you've left behind you."

	You know something? Dogs keep their tails behind them, but shepherds
dock the tails of the sheep. Hope none of you sheep got your tails still
wagging behind you. You leave your tail behind. And when you come out of
Egypt, you're docked. 

	Now, He said, "I'm giving you something else."

	Now, they murmured against God, because Moses was not responsible for
the Manna, God was responsible for the Manna. We're talking about Manna.
We'll get more of it as time goes on.

7.	All right:

		(5)	…Wherefore have (you) brought us up out of Egypt to die in the 	
				wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and 	
				our soul loatheth this light bread.

	Now listen: they were carping as though they had nothing when they had
everything. (Hmm?) You're a nice bunch this morning. Sinking in, …?...
sinking in?  Come on. Okay, don't forget:

		(6) 	And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, 

	You say there's people not going to pay a price for turning down God
and what he sends, I don't care who He sends it by? You bet your life
they're going to pay a price. It says right here, because this is the
Exodus.

		(6)	…and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died. 

	Now notice, Israel died, didn't say mixed multitude. You can't snake
bite a mixed multitude heathen. They're part of the serpent's crowd. I
never heard of a python devouring a cobra yet. Never heard of a snake
eating a snake, just thought about it. Any herpetologist here?  (I got
to study that one out.) Israel.

		(7) 	Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, 			
		for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto 					
the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses 						prayed
for the people. (They got a little respite.)

		(8) 	And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set 
				it upon a pole: (it'll) come to pass, that every one that is bitten,
when 					he looketh upon it, shall live.

		(9) 	…Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it
came 					to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld
the 						serpent of brass, he lived.

	Now, of course we go into typology on Christ there, but I'm not going
into it. I just want to bring out exactly what happened.

8.	All right, now we're going to get some understanding, it is in the
Book of Psalms 78. We're going to hear what a prophet said about this. I
suppose this is David, and we're going to start reading at verse 19.

		(19) 	Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table
in 						the wilderness?

	Now listen, they're saying, "Can God furnish a table when He'd already
done it?" That's right. Now, what was the table they asked for? Can God
do it? Let's find out.

		(20) 	Behold, he smote the rock, the waters gushed out, the streams 		
			overflowed; can he give bread also? (He'd already done it) can he 			
		provide flesh for (this) people?

	It was when Adam and Eve got in the flesh from being spiritual body
that the trouble came. (See?) It's carnality that destroys people.
Spirituality and carnality are viciously opposite, or as they say,
'they're diametrically opposed'. 

	Now, [long blank spot on tape] "Oh, (they say) don't you tell me we
didn't believe in God." Here's a prophet saying they didn't believe in
God. What God? The revealed God! And then say you're tired of Presence,
Presence, Presence, when all It tells you is about the real God? What
kind of a God have you got sitting here this morning? 

 	Now, let's get down to business. I didn't write the Book, but I sure
can preach It, that's my job, and I know the Author too this morning. I
know the Word and the Author. Because the Word and the Author is one.
(See?) I just want you to know, like Bro. Branham said, "I can preach
what I want in my own church," For the first time, this is my own
church, and nobody gets it. And I will preach what I want. Just because
they're going to seal this door up, doesn't mean I can't get through.
I'm not threatening you, I'm just telling you, and you can tell me the
same. I just want to see you rise above all this hogwash we've been
going through, that's all. 

9.	Now:

		(22) 	…they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:
(Yeah)

	What salvation's God got? This Book is a wonderful Book, It comes
together if you give It a chance.

		(23) 	Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the 		
		doors of heaven,

		(24) 	And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them 	
			of the (wheat) of heaven. (That word 'corn' is 'wheat'.)

	"In shady green pastures so rich and so sweet God leads His children
along." [Song]	

 	"He maketh me to lie down beside still the waters," [Ps 23:2] leading
me in those green pastures. Let me tell you know nothing of that, unless
you have the wheat that it is growing on, the verdant pastures of God in
Heaven which is spiritual food. He gave them that which came from above.

	Do you believe that came from above? Do you believe that was angel's
food? Do you believe that man literally ate a substance that God made in
Heaven? How would you like that this morning? Oh, merciful God, I can't
wait. I thought carrots would taste good in the Garden of Eden, but this
has got that beat on all of them. Actually, I'm not kidding this morning
brother, either we believe in reality, or we don't believe in reality.
Listen, you understand what I'm saying this morning? Either this Book is
a lie, or It is true. God actually manufactured, made bread and sent it
down from Heaven.

10.	It was not something created upon earth. It was not something from
earthly elements. It was something that God Himself sent down from
Heaven. If you can't believe that, you don't believe the Bible. "Oh Bro.
Vayle, a pretty figure of speech." [Makes a whoosh sound] If you didn't
see smoke come out of my ears that time, you missed something.
[laughter] Oh brother, this is not a pretty figure of speech I'm dealing
with this morning. I believe with all my heart they actually ate a bread
that angels ate. I believe that. I can't believe any other, because I
believe in God.	

		(25)	Man did eat angels food: he sent them meat to the full. 

	They couldn't get filled up on the bread from Heaven, so they get
filled up on something else. One man got filled with pride. One man got
filled with air, another man got filled with God. One man got filled
with doctrine. One man got filled with creeds, one man got filled with
the Word.

		(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, and feathered fowls as
the 						sand of the sea:

		(28) 	And let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their
habitations.

11.	When? When they said, "We don't want this anymore. I'm tired of It.
I loathe It. I can't stand It. [Bro. Vayle taps several times on the
pulpit] Do you hear what I'm saying? I'm not playing.

	You say, "Bro. Vayle, who set you up as judge?" I didn't explode, but I
was about to. Because I'm no judge, but this Word is. I don't have to
judge. It's already been judged. Bro. Branham said, "I've phoned Jack
Moore and I said, 'Why is He the way He is in Revelation chapter 1? The
long robe, the sash, girdle, the long hair?"

	"Oh, that's Him in His veneration."

	And Bro. Branham said, "No way could I take it. And I went to God and
God said, 'That's the Judge'."  By Whom shall He judge the world? By One
Christ Jesus, Who is the Word. 

		(29)	(He rained flesh,) they (ate), (they) were filled: for he gave
them 						their own desire;

		(30) 	(For) They were not estranged from their lust…

	"Let's have gifts in the church, hallelujah." I could mention a certain
man's name, Bob Brown talked to recently, because this man mentioned my
name and attributed to me some kind of a world ministry as though I was
influencing people with this so-called 'Parousia' stuff. And it's gone
around the world, just the way I preach It, and I'm not ashamed of It.
And Bob said, "Just a minute, how many TV programs does Lee have? How
many times is he on the radio? What books doe he write?" And he said,
"According to what you're telling me, you're wrong, because you're
running around the world when Lee stays home. You're sending out
literature when Lee doesn't. You're on radio where Lee isn't, what are
you talking about?" The guy had to pull his horns in.

12.	We want gifts. We want that this, we want the other thing. Why? Why?
Is the man a …?... Now, you don't need gifts, Your Word. We're talking
about what you eat. We're talking about what came down from Heaven. 

		(29) …(they) were filled: 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 upon them…

	And I'm going to tell you something brother/sister, what you think
comes out of your mouth, goes down here, you feed on it. Comes out of
your mouth, you rethink, comes out of your mouth, you feed on it, and
there's a vicious cycle. And you become exactly that. Where's that found
in proverbs? (Anybody got a concordance? Aw, forget it.)

 	It says, "A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his lips,
(or something like that) and by the increase thereof shall he be fed."
[Prov 18:20] It tells you every time it comes out of your mouth, it goes
down again and comes out bigger, goes down again and comes out bigger,
until you and that thing are one. I preached whole sermons on that. So
we ain't got time this morning.

13.	All right, listen:

		(31) 	The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, 	
				and smote down the chosen men of Israel.

		(32) 	For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his
wondrous works.

	Now, what brought the whole thing on? Manna. What was His wondrous
works? Giving Manna, bread from Heaven. Three pulls in the hand, reading
the heart and mind, bringing the Word. Bringing the Manna. Bringing down
that which we need. Oh, but they kept on sinning.

		(33) 	Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, their years in
trouble. 					(Was just a waste of time for people like that to be on
the earth.)

	Now listen, I'm simply reading the Bible. (See?) 

14.	Okay, we go to John 6:45, and we read a little more in here. This
begins to give us more of our understanding. 

		(45) 	It is written in the prophets, And they (that in the original is
'thy 						children') shall be all taught of God…

 	It doesn't say, they shall all be taught of God, It says, "The
children shall be taught of God." You know why? Because the illegitimate
can't go into the temple to learn. He's barricaded for ten generations.
He's kept out of the sanctuary. He's kept from participating. "Every man
therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father cometh unto
me." 

		(45)	…Every man therefore that have heard, and hath learned of the 	
				Father, cometh unto me.  

	He tells you right there that I spoke of last Sunday, there is a Light
that strikes. Now, it started in the Garden. A Light stuck, and you've
got to always come according to that Light. And if you don't come
according to that Light, you don't have salvation. You don't have
reality. It's those who are teachable.

15.	 Now, all right, verse 46. 

		(46) 	Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God,
he 					hath seen the Father.

	In other words, Jesus could say, "I want to tell you flat: there's no
man, not even John ever saw God." All they saw was the environment, or
the cloak of God, the covering of God which could be like a robe of
fire. But he said, "I want to tell you, I saw Him as spirit," a little
he saw God. 

		(47) (Truly, truly,) I say, 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.

	Now look, it was to carry them over. But remember, the Millennium was
not immortality. (See?) "Your fathers ate, they're dead." 

		(50) 	This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may 
				eat thereof, and not die.

	Now listen, it hasn't happened yet! There isn't one person here who if
the Lord tarries won't die. But He said about Himself, "This is that
Manna, and when you eat It you won't die. He that liveth and believeth
in me shall never perish. Do you believe this?" [Jn 11:26] I wonder if
you really do? I'm not saying you don't. I'm just checking you out,
because you better stand with It if you believe It. Because I believe
II'm not saying I believe and you don't believe It. Get that flat, I'm
just telling you flat, you've got to stand this morning according to
what I'm preaching. [long pause on tape] [note: Bro. Vayle is reading Jn
6:51]

		(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 give
is 						my flesh, (and) I will give for the life of the world.

16.	Now, He's talking about his death substituting entirely until the
hour that somebody eats and doesn't die. Now, He'll be one of those
that's already in this category here.

		(52) 	The Jews therefore strove… How can this man give us his flesh
to 						eat?

	"Why, he's a man and he's present."

	"Okay, George, you chomp on his ankle and I'll chomp on his head. Ha,
ha, ha, ha!" 

	Might as well live it up, laugh it up and be derisive. Come on let's
cut our throats good. [laughter] Don't sneak around, cut your throat
good. If you're going to get drunk, for God-sake get drunk. I can't
stand this shilly-shally stuff.

		(53) 	…Jesus said…I say unto you, Except (you) eat the flesh of
the Son 					of man, (it's been Son of God for two thousand years, this
is Son of 					man) eat (his) flesh, and drink his blood, (you got) 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. 

17.	That's wonderful. That's for the guys that have passed on. But
notice, all the time the two threads were on there, "I am the
Resurrection and the Life, he that believeth in me though he were dead,
yet shall he live, and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never
die." [Jn 11:25-26]  Have immortality. Now, the same One that said It,
has got to do It.

	What was the flesh of God? Jesus. What was the Blood of God? Jesus,
sacrifice. Who's speaking? God's speaking. Who's He speaking in? God's
speaking in the Son. And He said, "You've come this way for two thousand
years, there's going to be a day when the Son of man ministry comes
back, the Son of man revealed; and that's the time that you eat you'll
not die, you're going to be changed and there will be a Rapture.

18.	All right:

		(55) 	…my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. (He
says 						it to the two groups.)

		(56)	 He that (eats) my flesh, (drinks) my blood, (dwells) in me, and
I in 					him.

	And the last day, it goes a step further, "In that day, you'll know I'm
in the Father, and you in me, and I in you,"

		(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 (the) bread which came down from heaven: not as your
fathers 					did eat manna, and are dead: he that (eats) of this bread
shall live 						for ever. (Now, that's been for seven solid Church
Ages, but there's 					a group that doesn't die.)

	Now:

		(59) 	These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in
Capernaum.

		(60) 	Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said,
This 					is an hard saying; who can hear it?

	"This is a hard saying. Who needs Elijah? Who needs him to come back?
Who needs anything, hallelujah I'm born again, I've got it made" 

19.	 Hallelujah, you ain't born again, you ain't got it made, you just
think you have. You just think you have, because He said different.

		(61) 	When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he
						said…Doth this offend you?

	"Are you offended? I'm here, the Bread of Life." Are you offended? 

	"Oh no, far be it from you, we're really not offended." You bunch of
liars.

		(62) 	What if (you) shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was 		
			before?

	What if you see the dead come out of the ground? (See?)

		(63) 	It is the spirit that (quickens); the flesh (profits) nothing:
the words 						that I speak…they are spirit, and they are life.

	And He's telling you where the whole things lies, it lies in the Word.
It is called 'the engrafted Word'. Peter said, "Being born again not of
corruptible sperma, but by the Word of God that lives and abides
forever." [1 Pet 1:23]

	You say, "Well, that means…I'll tell you what It means. It means, I
was born of corruptible sperm, I'm a human being, now I've got to have
the other."

	That's where you've read your Bible wrong. It says, "Being born again,
you that are already born of human sperm, you be born again but not of
corruptible word." There's no such thing as anybody coming out of this
ground immortal in the First Resurrection, unless he's truly born of the
uncorrupted Word of the hour. And there's an uncorrupted Word of this
hour.

20.	That's exactly why It says, "You've got to come to the Light." In
other words, the Roman Catholic's couldn't do it. No way if they weren't
in the election. But as soon as Luther stepped out and they heard the
Word, the Roman Catholic's started coming. All through that age it
happened. They had to leave their backgrounds. They had to take the Word
of that hour. Then Wesley came on the scene, the Lutherans had to leave
what they had. Pentecost came on the scene, the Methodist had to leave
their word. Now, we're on the scene, and they've got to leave their
word. And if we're not the end, they'll have to leave this. But, we are
the end. Because you see, the signs are in. 

	The signs never were in before, because Israel was not back in the
homeland. You got to start right with the timepiece of God. Then you've
got to go to the women who indicate the spiritual temper of the church.
(See?) And the women right now are in 'limbo'. And I'll talk about that
sometime, or privately to some of you. But there is a limbo right now
with the women, you've got to get out of it. You've got to begin to show
some of these things that are necessary to be seen. And they're just
little things, but you're slipping right back where you were. And number
one, is high heels. I said it, let's get all your high heels out! I'm
sorry, but get them out. Get rid of them. They've got to go period. Or
the next thing you're going to be wanting something outside of that Word
as sure as you're knee high to a grasshopper. I'm not here to run you
down. I'm here to help you. I didn't say take your shoes off. I didn't
say, it's just get your heels down where they belong, that's number one.

 	You say, "Why?" Because that's in the Bible. Next thing there'll be
wearing slacks, and cutting the hair. That's exactly where you'll go.
You say, "I won't." You're wrong, that's where you will go, I'm telling
you that's where you'll go. And I'll be here to see it. (See?) Now,
let's just be very nice with each other. I'm very nice, you don't
realize, but I'm a very nice person. [Bro. Vayle chuckles] You can't
hear from God and not be some kind of a person. You know, …?... nice
that time did it? I just said, "Some guy."

21.	Now:

		(64) 	…there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from
the 						beginning who they were that believed not, and who should
betray 						him.

		(65) 	And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come
unto 						me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

		(66) 	From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no
more… 

		(67) 	(And Jesus said,) Will (you) go away?

		(68) 	(And) Simon Peter…

	Listen, Simon Peter was a failure within himself. He was a mess within
himself. Don't think he wasn't. Everyone of us is a mess within
ourselves. And everyone of us can fail in certain ways, because I talked
about high heel slippers doesn't mean you're gone. It just means you're
perfectly human and you're running true to your human form. Just cut it
out, that's all. Men begin doing what they need to do too. That means
treat your wives with love and respect and kindness.

	This Message has got so many men messed up with hogwash, that they
think wives would be trampled on. I get phone calls all around the
country. 

	And I say, "Well, how do you treat your wife?"

	"Well I'm the boss."

	Well, drop dead, you're not boss but to run a hog, let alone a decent
woman. No, that's right. Much trouble right in the world today is the
account of the men, not the women. So, I should get both sides in here.
Sure, the more that I love the Lord, all the better I treat my wife.
Just shows I'm more fit to be her head then (you know) then otherwise.
You got to get right with God.

		(68) 	Then Simon Peter answered…whom shall we go? (You alone got) 		
			the words of eternal life.

22.	He put it right there. He said, "Who are we going to go to?" He
said, "You're the only One that can tell us. You're the only One that
got a Word." Because he understood creation. And he knew God said, "Let
there be light." There wasn't anything before God spoke. And when God
spoke It, God had to be in that Word, and behind that Word and around
that Word, and that thing came into existence, and It's Word.

	The Bible says, "Every bit of creation was by the Word of God. And God
maintains that same Word. And [Peter] said, "You've got the Word for
us."

	Listen, don't you know this morning you've got a God. If He looked down
and He said to one of the little babies here, like Caleb. He said,
"Caleb, this morning I'm going to immortalize you?" That child would be
absolutely immortal.

	You say, "I-I- I just don't know if he would."

	Well, you don't know God. You don't know the Word, that's all. It's
just that simple. A lot of us are losing our hair. I've lost too many of
mine already, mostly through foolishness. God…this morning He spoke
down and He said, "Lee, (He said) I'm going to give you a new head of
hair." He'd speak my hairs right into existence.

23. Peter understood it, that you alone got the Word. If He was God, He
had the Word. He was the Word. You understand what I am saying? See,
we're getting into the nitty-gritty of this Message, and why I preach
the way I do. And why I resent it, and will not tolerate my feet being
cut off. He didn't just say, "They'll persecute in this city, flee to
another city, my Word is this, and I'm going to stand with It; if the
people don't want It here, I'll go some place else."  

	Let me tell you something: it came up to us the other day and I don't
resent anybody thinking …?... this, because it's just exactly the way
it should be thought. Well, if the place is dirty, should we go and get
a little room somewhere? No, I'll preach on the lawn. I'm not moving
from here. Because  here is where God told me, north-east of my place
I'd be talking to people. This is north-east. I got my map out, I looked
at Fostoria, because I know people there. I looked at Findlay, because I
know people there. And I said, "No way can I drive in the winter time,
or will I drive." Now, as far as I know, this is the place I'm supposed
to be. So, you sure got to fight me. You'll walk out this time, not me.

24.	I'm laying it on the line. This tape will  go a lot of places around
the country, and I care less. Because I haven't come this far for
nothing. I haven't heard from Heaven for nothing. I'm under the bonds of
grace and servitude to God as never before in  my life to tell you the
things of God. And I'll do it too. And I'm not angry.

	I'll tell you what, sometimes you just need to speak up. Now, let it be
known this…only one person, one family can chase me out of here and
that's the Evans'. And they ain't about to do it. I'm older than he is,
and we …?... look alike, hit him with a four by four. [loud laughter] 

	Now, I'm dead serious, I can laugh about it. I'm dead serious. I want
you to know something. I ain't kidding. This is one place that the devil
doesn't get me again. I'm not saying that he can't get me someplace
else. Now hold it, I ain't that smart. I am not that smart. But I've
said, "Dog bite me once, shame on dog, dog bite me twice, shame on me."
I've been bitten more than once.

25.	He said:

  HYPERLINK "http://www.ci.fostoria.oh.us/"    		(68) 	(Will you go
away? He said, No, You got) …the words of eternal                     
              			life. (Words of Eternal Life.)

	He didn't say you got Eternal Life, He said, "You've got the Words of
Eternal Life." God speaking His Life to you and me. Did you hear what I
said? God speaking His Life to you and me. Because if His Word is Spirit
and Life, and that is God's Word, God has spoken His Life to you and me.


	You said, "You mean to tell me that that thing received on the auditory
nerves goes to my mind, gets down in here." Yeah, that's right, that's
what I said. Do you understand that this Word changes your atoms?  Where
does this Word repose, that changes your atoms?!! In your atoms! (Uh?)
Now, come on, don't look at me and bat your eyes. This is a different
kind of a church you've ever been in your life. [laughter] I'm going to
re-preach what I preached, and re-preach it again, and sit down and talk
about it. We're not playing church anymore. Don't even look quizzical,
open your mouth and let the rain of God fall on you. I don't have a bit
of trouble. 

	You say, "That's you." No, it ain't me, I'm just like you. I know the
difference between you and me. You want to cut me, I'll bleed. You could
cut back too. [laughter] I'm not even be a blood bank for cotton-pickin'
mosquitoes.

26.	Words of Eternal Life. Now listen:

		(69) 	And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son
of 						the living God.

	Why? Because He told them so. (See?) "If you don't believe that I Am,
you're going to die in your sins." He told them. (See?) 

	Of course you say, "Well, wasn't He vindicated?" Sure but we've had
vindication too.

		(70) 	Jesus (said,) Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is
(the) 						devil?

	Not a devil. That's not true, it's 'the devil'. This man let the devil
incarnate him. You going to sit here and tell me that you cannot put up
a spirit of unbelief, and have a spirit incarnate you? Let me tell you
flat: You can be a temple of devils. You can even be a good man full of
the Holy Ghost and have a genuine gift. The devil can turn you right
around his finger and use you if you let him. Bro. Branham said so.

	So, we're not standing here in our own strength this morning. We're
standing here in the strength of a Word. Either he said It, or he didn't
say It. And if he said It he meant It. Because he cannot say whatout
meaning, because he's in iI. Then if he's in It, It's got to be. Then if
that's in me, it's got to be part of Him. So, I become one with Him. I'm
not only one with Him by the fact of a literal re-joining back by the
Holy Spirit, but I'm one with Him in Word. That we have become the
Living Word. Forget it, we'll…Scripture read.

		(71) 	He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon:…

27.	Listen, He named him and He had his pedigree. Do you know God knows
your pedigree? And you're going to find out on judgment day, that God
will trace you plumb back to original sources. That's right.

	Israel stands in clans, they'll be traced right back. They go to one
father which is Jacob, and then it all funnels into Abraham. Goes right
back to Adam where we fell, and goes right back to Christ in Whom we
were. 

	He said, "Judas, you never had a part in It."

	You say, "You mean to tell me that guy could have a ministry stand
around Jesus and say, 'hallelujah with the rest?'" Absolute, say,
"Hallelujah." But when the showdown came he showed exactly who he was.

	As Bro. Branham said, "Judas never could stand up to the Holy Ghost. He
never got to Pentecost." But don't tell me he didn't have a part in that
ministry, because he did. But like the mixed multitude he began
screaming for the past. (Yeah) We've got it all over, and people around
this so called message. Now, that’s the text.

28.	Now, I want you to start thinking something here real quick. Because
I hope you've been thinking already. Number 1: I mentioned it in Numbers
11:4, a mixed multitude had come out of Egypt. And that whole crowd was
comprised of three kinds of people: a believer, an unbeliever, and a
make believer.

	There were three kinds of people there, and there was also the foolish
virgin. (Yep) Always takes four somewhere down the line. Although, some
may sort of cross over each other. Unbelievers, make believers and real
believers.

	Israel coming out by a prophet in the Pillar of Fire to go in, is the
type of what has come out of Babylon by the prophet with the Pillar of
Fire to go up to the Wedding Supper and to the Millennium. It's a type.
Because we got a prophet in a Pillar of Fire, and they had a prophet in
a Pillar of Fire, and they came out of a national land, we are coming
out of every land of the spiritual Kingdom of God.

 	Now, let's get this straight. It was the make believers who knew
something was there, but could not place It that caused the death from
that which is from below. They took that which is from below, which was
the flesh of quail over that which was from above, which was Manna.

29.	Now, let's see the Scripture here how this places It. We go to the
Book of James 3: I hope you don't fill up real fast this morning,
because some people complain they got to tune me out. Well, bully for
you. I just say, you ain't got what it takes. Wait until the  squeeze
comes down. [Bro. Vayle laughs] I'm just semi-squeezed. Okay:

		(1) 	My brethren, be not many (teachers), knowing that we shall
receive 					the greater condemnation.

	Everybody wants to teach something. That's why the pastors are running
around instead of staying at home and minding their business.

		(2) 	For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, 
					(also he's) able also to bridle (his) whole body.

		(3) 	Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths…(and so on.) 

 	Now, all right we can leave a lot of that there. Let's go on down
where It says in verse 12,

		(12) 	Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a
vine, figs?... 

30.	Now, he's going right back to Matthew 7, and Matthew 24 concerning
the false prophets and the false teachers. And this lies in the Word.
See, it's got to be with the Word. Okay, (If I'm going too fast, just
ask your wife or husband to hit you on the head, jar your brains.)

		(12)	…no fountain (can yield) both salt water and fresh.

		(13) 	Who is a wise man endued with knowledge among you? let him
(show) 					out of (in) good conversation his works with meekness of
wisdom. 						(That's his actual behavior.)

		(14) 	But if (we) have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, (and)
glory 					not, and lie not (one) against (another.)

	Now notice, "For if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts,
glory not, and lie not against the truth." Now, you notice right here he
doesn't discount the fact of troubles coming amongst us. A clash of
personalities. But he said, "Watch it that you don't get puffed up that
you think that you know everything, and the other guy doesn't know
anything." And It says, "And don't lie against the truth." (See?) Watch
that one thing.

		(15) 	This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual,
(and) 					devilish.

		(16) 	For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every
evil work.

	Now listen:

		(17) 	But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable,
(and) 					gentle, easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits,
without 						partiality, and without hypocrisy.

		(18) 	And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that
make peace.

31.	[James 4:] 

		(1) 	From whence come wars (especially religious wars) and fightings 	
				among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in 					
your members?

		(2) 	(You) lust, and have not: (you) kill, and desire to have, and
cannot 						obtain: (you) fight and war…(you have) not.

		(3) 	(Because) Ye ask…not, ye ask (and receive not, because you ask)
						amiss, that (you) may consume it upon your lusts.

	Now remember, they wanted flesh, they wanted to go back, they wanted
what they previously had when it had become taboo. Get those gifts and
things off the floor. Put your church in order. Women do this, men do
that. Kids do this, kids do the other thing. And yours says, "Ain't no
way." We think we're going to have this Message with the old background.
Let me tell you, if you're Pentecostal, Roman Catholic, some type of
Protestant, and God knows they're just too numerous, and too wicked to
mention. You still got that in your veins, or down in your hearts,
you've missed out, you're messed up, there's something wrong. You're not
going to make it. You got to get it out of your system. Right.

	Listen, I'm going to tell you, and I don't want to hurt anybody, I
won't mention the guy's name. But a very nice man, a dear friend of mine
here in America. He begin to go haywire when he said, "Bro. Branham was
wrong on predestination." And he went against me for teaching what Bro.
Branham taught, not knowing what Bro. Branham taught. He wrote a book.
Where is he today?

32.	Now, another man…I understand down under, that's in the
ANZAC's,[Australian, New Zealand Army Corps] he's written a book against
predestination. Now, that came out in Europe also. Now, there's another
book against it. They don't want to believe what Bro. Branham taught.
Showing they are legalists and are Armenians and they have not come out.
They just think they've come out. Where if they have come out they're so
loaded with what's still inside of them. I say there's no [blank spot]
after seventeen years of prophets, yet they haven't put their church in
order.

	"Oh, we can't do it, it's too soon." 

	I say, "Merciful God, if that's too soon never mind the rest." And when
I said that, the man printed a book against predestination. And he knew,
I preached in his camp meetings in Europe. That that very article in the
Church Age Book…[blank spot in tape] … he upset me so much I phoned
Bro. Branham. Cost me my money in those days for forty five minutes,
that wasn't a penny. I didn't have hardly a penny to my name. 

	And I read what I read in that book, he said, "That's exactly right
Lee."

	And I said, "Hold it Bro. Branham, hold it. I'm going to break down
every word so that you know what I am saying." I broke down every single
word to that man in forty five minutes. 

	And he said, "Lee, (he said) that's exactly right, and here's some more
Scripture to help you out."  (See?)  

 	They're still legalists back in Pentecost. Don't count me, you come
out here with your lusts. It'll lead you plumb astray every single time.
For all that, they're over there ten years…it was twelve years ago
now, and he cried, and he said, "Bro. Vayle, I can see that you're
right," Turned right around and did something else. You correct that
guy, turned right around, turned right around. Listen, let's get over
that childhood nonsense. Get it out of your system! If the prophet said
something that's right, because you haven't got one ounce of
vindication, but the prophet did. (See?) Yes sir.

33.	Now, he says in here:

		(4) 	(You) adulterers and adulteresses,…(What is it? Fornicating
with 						the Word of God.) …know ye not that the world is (the enemy
of 						God?) whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the 
					enemy of God.

	And Bro. Branham said, "One Word off is the world." Just one Word off
you're the enemy of God, you're right in the world. All it takes is one
Word off, that's what started the whole thing.

	Now listen, way back there when man had his chance for immortality,
living and just having a wonderful time bringing children into the
world. How? I don't know, but by out of the ground perhaps a spiritual
miracle. They could have had it wonderful, and they just turned it down.

	Now, at the end time God says, "That time has run out." They went from
eternity to time. And now we're going from time back to eternity. One
Word out did it. There won't be one Word off this time brother/sister.
There's going to be a people believe this Word, and they're not going to
get tired of It.

		(4)	…(wherefore) therefore whosoever (is) a friend of the world is
the 						enemy of God.

		(5) 	Do (you) think that the scripture (says) in vain, The spirit that
						dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?

		(6) 	But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the 	
				proud, giveth grace (to) the humble.

		(7) 	Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will
						flee…you.

 	All right, we can see they were completely consumed with what had gone
on. Everything they were looking at in the past and experiences. And God
said, "This was the …?..."  is exactly wrong.

34.	All right, now number two: Numbers 21:5. Let's go back to It. And if
all I do this morning is just clear myself with these three points and
let you go, that's going to be okay. We'll recap the next message, the
next sermon around, we'll just recap, and quickly and go on to more
material. I'm taking my time on purpose, because…I'm not taking my
time on purpose, that's a lie. What I'm doing I'm taking my time,
because I can't stop talking, and go on to the next point. [laughter] I
ain't going to tell you anymore lies, because God knows my heart. I'm
not so stupid to think you're that stupid. Okay, number 5,

		(5) 	And the people spake against God,…

	Notice, they spoke against God! "We can't stand this Word." Well, Who
gave the Word? God gave the Word! Then you go against the Word of God,
you go against God! If you can't stand the Word, you can't stand God!
(I've been preaching for one hour and seven minutes.) Are you wore out?
You have to turn me off? Well thank you, that's very nice. By now, I
would have been turned and tuned out. Well come on, they asked for it
when they talk like that. You think I'm going to stand up here and be
some little nincompoop anymore? No more. No more!

35.	You see, I'm not calling the shots as though I was God, I'm
preaching this Word. And for the first time I've got people to stand
with me. (See?) You think I'm tough. I'm not tough on you, I'm just
trying to get all the cobwebs, and all the marbles out. Because believe
me brother/sister, it's worth it to you. It's worth it when that day
comes, that That Hand reaches down, turns you plumb around, and you know
that you know that you never knew before. And remember, this Word is
doing it. And this is the only Word that could about immortality. 

	You say, "Bro. Vayle, didn't those other men have that same experience?
Yes! Certainly they had the same I'm talking about. But it never could
bring immortality. This is the hour for immortality. You see, because we
don't have one bit of pre-eminence over those that died. We don't have
one bit of pre-eminence. We're not important over anybody else. We don't
have the edge on anybody else. We're not going to die. And I'd like too,
but…you see, I'm not afraid, because look, for the first time in my
life I know that Lee Vayle doesn't have to worry about being Bro.
Branham, or Moses, or Elijah, anybody else. I don't have that complex
anymore. I don't look around and say, "You guys are so nice, I wish I
was sweet like you, and I was you." I'm not interested anymore. 

36.	I'm interested in being me, in the image of Christ. I can walk over
anytime and feel good about it. Because I know for the first time, I've
preached this for years. I talked to…outside one day talking to Lloyd,
and he said, "Yeah, (he said) remember Lee when you preached that sermon
on 'One Last Look?" I plumb forgot I preached it. He said, "What as
that, a year ago, two years ago?" It might have been twenty, Lloyd. It
wasn't though. I plumb forgot.

	Every sermon is coming back today what I preached. Every thought that
I've extended these years is coming back. And I know, I'm part of iI.
(See?) You've got to be part of It. We are a part of It. (See?) "You
mean to tell me that God could make something out of nothing? And then
turn around and can't make something out of you which is something?"

	Come on for Pete's sake, He took Adam there. And He took the ground and
formed him, and made a wonderful man, and a wonderful woman out of the
two of them, man and woman. And there they stood most glorious creatures
the world's ever seen outside of Jesus Christ. You mean to tell me He
can't mold us? Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. You're
dealing with Santa Claus, or some fable out there, or the three bears.

37.	I'm dealing with mighty God, everlasting Father, King of kings, Lord
of lords, Prince of Peace, Lily of the Valley, the Rose of Sharon, the
All together Lovely One. Hallelujah, I Am. And the beautiful thing is,
He loves me. Now, you can't figure that out. Neither can I. Two things I
can't figure. Any man that's got a good wife will never figure how any
woman could love him. [laughter]  Honest, I'm telling you the truth. I'm
not lying, I'm not trying to flatter my wife. There's two things I
cannot figure: how God loves me, my wife loves me, because they both
know me. [laughter] You people think you know me. But I'm secure in her
love, and she's secure in whatever little love I've got. and I'm secure
in His love.

	You know when God revealed Himself to Abraham, He said, "I'm your
shield and exceeding great reward." [Ex 15:1] That means I'm your
Protector, and I'm your Provider.

	You say. "Hold it, shouldn't He be Provider first?"

	Hogwash, what use is provision if someone can get it from you? What if
God would have doused His whole lap full of things, and Abraham, "Oh, I
wonder if I can get a gift? Oh,                       I wonder if God
will keep? Oh, what will I do about these lovely possessions?"

	God said, "Hold it boy, you don't get nothing, but first of all it's
guaranteed."

	That's the revelation this morning brother/sister. That's the
revelation of El Ella, the Strong One bound by an oath. The Strong One
Who stands there, and said, "Before I say one Word to you about
anything, I've got four you're going to do for you. Let…you get this
across, whatever  I say stands. Whatever I do stands. It's in My hands,
not yours."

 .	Do you realize brother/sister, that faith toward God had been wiped
out? You have to worry about your faith toward God, forget it. Forget it
dumbos. Forget it, He's here to do it. What are you worried about? What
are you worried about? Have you turned yourself out? Do you like to hear
more? That's fine, that's what I'm here for. Can you ever get too much
of Him? If you can,            I don't understand. I'm at a loss.
"Evermore give us this bread." [Jn 6:34] That's a Psalms said that too. 

38.	All right, listen: I read It to you. [Numbers] 21:5.

		(5) 	…Wherefore have (you) brought us up out of Egypt to die in the 
					wilderness?...  (Of all the hogwash!)

	Do you know what those guys saw die? The serpent seed that ran for sex
worship of a woman in Baal-peor. The guys that showed that they're a
bunch of serpent seed. The messed up crowd. Haw, they never got as far
as the Manna. The flesh they got was the flesh of a woman, and they ran.
"She brought us out here to die." Don't you think God sent a prophet to
give you the kind of food that makes you vomit? Or you can't eat it, so
you're going to starve and die?

	Are you dying this morning, because there aren't Pentecostal gifts
here? Or some little legalist doctrine?  Are you dying this morning,
because it's all put on His shoulders instead of yours, so you don't
have to fast? Oh, it's good if you fast the odd time. That you can't
make it by praying, though you better keep praying. (See?)  Bunch of
legalists.

		(5)	…And you bring us out here to die? …for there is no bread,
neither 					is there any water; …

	Oh, what do you call this here that will keep you from stinking? It
must have contained …?... because it didn't smell like a lot of
billy-goats. How many of you people can do without under arm deodorants
so you won't stink? [laughter] None of you. Even the babies stink.
[laughter] You know they didn't stink? You know the sweat didn't make
their clothes wear out? Do you know they had perfect health? Their shoes
didn't wear out. 

39.	So, let's face it, it isn't anything to do with this universe except
the food that you and I eat. If we ever get to the place where that Word
of God is perfect, which It will be, the dead are going to come right
out of the ground. The Millennium sets in. 

	Yeah, they said, "Well, tell you what, we got nothing but this [makes a
noise] Manna."

	"I Am the Bread that came down. In Me lies the perfection that takes
you across in immortality."

	"Well, we loathe this, it's too light. Give us something heavy."

	"What would you suggest?"

	"Well, like Samson, I'm going to carry the gates of the city on top of
the hill."

	What have you got when you get there?  Of all the stupid jackass things
I've ever heard. Do you know that that was an act of derision on the
part of Samson to carry the gates on top of the hill? And yet people
say, "I want to be like Samson, carry gates, hee, hee, hee." 

	What are you, some Hercules? Some Atlas? Look, I'm talking this way on
purpose. I don't understand people anymore. I don't understand people's
thinking anymore. 

	"This light bread I loathe." 

	What would you suggest?

	"Well, I would suggest that we go back to the diet we had when we were
in Egypt."

	And they died. They caused envying, malice, carnality from the wisdom
which was below. Get with the Manna.  Do you know that every doctrine
was wrong until Bro. Branham came and pointed out the error? There
wasn't one that didn't have something wrong with it.

 	The best doctrine of all was 'predestination', and the best they could
do was to say, "He is always before me." But Bro. Branham told us the
Word of God which sat there all the time, we couldn't see It. We were in
His mind and His thoughts, we're part of the Logos.

	Now, if we came from God, we're going to go back to God. Because all
things are from Him, and for Him, and to Him. That's the way the Word
is, from Him. (See?) And It's for Him, and to Him. In other words, He's
doing it all. He's doing it through vessels.

40.	Okay, listen verse 25 …?... verse 21. That make believer and
unbeliever cannot actually stand the spiritually revealed Word. I said
make believer and unbeliever cannot stand the spiritually revealed Word
of the hour. They can't do it, and eventually rebel and lead others
astray. Caused divisions, hardships and judgments. Crows can eat dove
food, but put out the wheat and the juicy stinking carcass. Wow, they
forget the wheat right away, and pounce on the carcass. And yum, yum,
yum, yum, yum. You don't believe me?

	Let's make a test: [raps on the pulpit] Let's make a test: Manna left
over gets wormet. Mealybugs, worm eaten. Where's the Armenian doctrine
of these doctrines today? It's gone. Because you see, that's what the
Bible said. "This is the condemnation." [Jn 3:19] People are screaming
in this Message and talking about Bro. Branham as though he took the
Blood off the Mercy Seat. And he did this and he did that. It's been
done six times, in Six Church Ages, and now it's done the seventh time
in Seven Church Ages.  

	The efficacy of the Blood in the Person of Jesus Christ is null and
void, when the Light shines and they don't come to the Light. What's the
matter with people? I'm preaching to myself, don't worry, the devil will
come back on me in a hurry. But I got a great God.

41.	They will go to their own carrion whenever they can find it. Let's
go to John 8: It says in verse 37.

		(37) 	I know that (you're) Abraham's seed; but (you) seek to kill
me,..,

	Hear this! (let this be on the tape, there's nothing else is):
Abraham's seed were the ones that killed Jesus. And Abraham had a son
called Ishmael who mocked Isaac. And as Terry put it so beautifully,
"God didn't even look at Ishmael, and He said, 'Take thy son, thine only
son'."  I am hitting hard this morning brother/sister, from the actual
conversation that has gone on in the last little while. Are you so liked
today that you think you can frivolously turn aside, because you have
friends or parents, or God knows what. 

42.	Let tell you this about my family. My mother I believe died a
sinner, I hope she didn't, but I believe she did. The Blood of Jesus is
greater than the blood of my mother. She'll stand on her own merits, and
so will you when you are past twelve years of age, stand on yours apart
from your parents. But if you decide because of your parents or your
background, let me tell you this: you know nothing at this time of the
things of Almighty God. You have the wisdom which is sensual and carnal
come out this morning. We're hitting hard, I'm doing it on purpose.
Let's see where it goes. Let's see where it goes. (Yep) 

	You say, "Bro. Vayle, what about my mother and father?" That's none of
your business. That's none of your business. When the Word comes you
better take that Word. My mother withstood me when I was born again, or
saved first of all. Oh, my mother wasn't religious till that moment. But
she suddenly became very religious, because she could swear faster than
I could. And I could swear faster than a horse could gallop around the
Kentucky Derby race track there. I don't know who out swore each other.
But she became very religious when I got saved.

43.	I said, "Okay mom, make a deal with you. Tell you what, "I'll go to
your…" [blank spot] Aw, the old hypocrite, that's all she was. (Sorry
about that mom, but…that's the way…) [blank spot] A pseudo role. I'm
not saying she hadn't had light or anything. Maybe she's a good woman as
far as good people were, she was. I'm laying this on, you get this flat:
there's a lot of you folk got parents living. Let's get this very flat
about parents. Because it has one thing to do with you, you're going to
stand before God in this Message, what you know to be true is going to
be the judge.

	So, I said, "Okay maw, I tell you what, I'll go to your church in the
morning, (she didn't have one) you come to mine at night." 

	She said, "Okay son, I'll do it." I knew I'd never have to go to her
church and never did. The day came she went to mine. I don't know if she
ever got anything or not, I hope she did. I hope she's just one of those
that maybe as far as she could go she went. I wouldn't say she'll miss
the White Throne or not, come up in the Second Resurrection. I believe
she will, because in spite of all the things that were very peculiar
about her, I believe underneath that she'll be one of those who rise in
the Second Resurrection. I'm going to tell you something, the woman
never had Light. But, what about those who turned down Light? [raps hard
on the pulpit] She never did have Light. No. No, she was in a limbo all
of her life, and she did the best she could in many, many ways. And she
did real good in many, many ways. 

 	But I'm going to tell you, when it came to the Light, she just wasn't
there. What about you this morning? Are you still looking back on some
genealogy? Your father, your mother, or something? You do it if you want
to, but remember, your blood is on your hands not mine, because I've
spoken my piece this morning. (Yeah)

44.	He said right here:  [John 8:]

		(37)	 …(You're) Abraham's seed; (He said, I don't doubt that at all,
        					I know it.)

	Now, He said:

		(38) 	I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and (you) do that
						which (you've) seen with your father.

		(39) 	They (said,) Abraham is our father. Jesus (said,) If (you're)
Abraham's 					children, (you) would do the works of Abraham.

	Now, notice one place in there, they claim not only to be seed, but
they said, "We're children." Because Ishmael was seed, but he wasn't a
child. In other words, he never had a part of the genealogy. He never
was reckoned with those of the election. He was reckoned with those of
sheer lust. Animal. Every child is born of sexual lustful desire. But
there's a whole lot that are born, because God wants them, and they'll
come to Christ.

		(40) 	(He said, you) seek to kill me, a man that told you the truth,
which 						I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

		(41) 	(You) do the deeds of your father. (They) said…We be not born
of 						fornication; (men, who's serpent seed. See?) (for) we have one 
					Father, even God.

45.	Now notice: You say, "Well, just a minute, couldn't they call the
fact that Abraham had Sarah fornication?" No way! Polygamy was
legitimate. It was Eve, because notice the next word, It says in there,
"We have one father, even God, or God is our Father. We have one Father,
even God, and that goes back to Adam who was the son of God. And
remember, the genealogy never included Cain. No way. 

	All right. Now:

		(42) 	Jesus said…If God were your Father, (you'd) love me: for I 			
		proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, 						but
he sent me.

		(43)	Why do ye not understand my speech? even because (you) cannot 			
		hear my word.

		(44) 	(You're) of your father the devil, the lusts of your father
(you'll) do. 					He was a murderer (and so on.)…When he speaketh a
lie, he speaketh 					of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of
it.

		(45) 	…because I tell you the truth, (you) believe me not.

		(46) 	Which of you (can find me in error in one word?) …if I (do
not) 						say the truth, why do (you) believe me (not)?

	Now, you see, Eve was in error on one word. Listen: 

		(47) 	He that is of God heareth God's words: 

  	Do you understand that that's the test? You've got to come to the
Light! I couldn't get saved. If I were…if I was going to get saved
today, I could not get truly born again in Pentecost. No way! I've got
to come to this Message. And since this Message doesn't have sensation,
people are getting scared stiff they haven't got something. Now, what in
the world has that got to do with it? Every time God brings His Word,
It's got Its Own ear marks. 

		(47)	…because (you're) not of God. (He said.)  

46.	That's John 3:19, bring to the Light.

		(48) 	Then answered the Jews…Say we not well that thou art a
Samaritan, 					(has) a devil?

	That's always the answer. "We're of God, you're of the devil." We're of
God you're the devil, every time the Light strikes. (See?) They made Him
a Samaritan. You see, He had a good gift, a prophetic ministry. So, they
said, "Well, he's at least bastardized, that's what it is. He'll need
ten generations before he can come to the temple." (Yeah) "Ten
generations of the junk that he preached, then it'll die down, …?...
just a jerk." They said, "As Samaritan bird, a messer upper."

		(49) 	Jesus (said),  I (do not) have a devil; but I honour my Father,
and 						(you) dishonour me.

		(50) 	…I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and
judgeth.

		(51) 	Verily, I say, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see
death.

	What saying is that? Not the saying back there, they died. "Oh, (you
say) Bro. Vayle that means that they won't die physically." Aw, come on,
or spiritually bankrupt, far from God. (You see?) I got to twist that
back. Because I say, "You say, "Well, it'll say that physically, not
physical, but it actually refers to the fact, "never see death," is not
a spiritual concept. Because He is talking of terms of a reality from
Abraham on down. He's talking in the physical. It's a spiritual, but
he's put in the physical.

		(52)	…the Jews (said,) Now we know (you got) a devil. (Now watch 			
		how they understood Him) Abraham is dead, and the prophets (are 					
dead) and (you say,) If a man keep my saying, (he'll) never taste 					
of death.

		(53)  	(Are you) greater than…Abraham, which is dead? and the
prophets…

		(54) 	(And) Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing:
it 						is my Father that (honours) me; of whom (you) say, that he is
your 						God:

 	Now look it, He is letting them know that…absolutely. He said,

		(56) 	…Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

		(57) 	… the Jews (said, you're) not yet fifty years old, (how have
you) 						seen Abraham?

		(58)  	(And he) said…Before Abraham was, I am.

		(59)	(And they) took up stones to (to stone) him: 

	He is literally telling them that there are people who will not die. No
sir, they will not die. No way shape or form.

47.	All right, this fact that there are believers and make believers
cannot stand the spiritual revelation. They will rebel and lead others
astray. They cause divisions, hardships and judgment. Because the crow
will eventually leave the dove food, because he loves the carrion. That
was exactly what we saw under here in John 6:60-66.

		(60) 	…(the) disciples, heard (the) saying;…

		(61) 	…(and they) murmured…(at who is going to take it. See?)

	Now, notice in John 15:24. That's the verse I quote many, many times to
you.

		(24) 	If I had not done the works (no) other man did, (they'd) not
sin: 						but now they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

	All right, what, when He becomes the Word manifested at the end time.
and they hate that Word. They loathe the Word. They can't stand It. You
going to tell me that they don't hate God? Come on! Listen, we're not
babies anymore. You can't have your cake and eat it anymore. You've got
to come to the place where either this is It, or forget it! The prophet
said, "There's got to be an ultimate." There's got to be an ultimate
brother/sister, or we're off track.

 	John 10:[32]-33, the very same thing we see here. 

		(32) 	Jesus (said)…(for what good work) do (you) stone me?

		(33) 	(They said, not for) good work…but for blasphemy; because
thou, 						being a man, makest (your)self God.

48.	Now, back to Numbers 16:1-3. Now, let's look at this thing which I
mentioned. And I mentioned it out of the fact that how the Manna was
turned aside. Now:

		(1) 	(And when) Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath,…(and 			
		so on.) 

		(2) 	…they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of
Israel, 						two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in
the 						congregation, men of renown:

	Listen, people  who say, "We believe this Message, we stand with Bro.
Branham, we honor him," are going to turn on this Word, they can't help
themselves, because the type has been laid out. They can't help it.

	You say, "Bro. Vayle, will you turn?" By the grace of God I don't
believe I will turn, but I can't speak for myself. From what He's told
me so far, what I've seen there's no way I can turn.

		(3) 	(Now,) they gathered themselves together against Moses, against 	
				Aaron, and said, (You) take too much upon you, seeing all the 					
congregation are holy, every one of them, the LORD is among them: 				
(listen, the Lord is among them. That's right, therefore) lift ye up 			
		yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?

49.	Now listen, He's amongst us, just the same as that day. And people
rise up against the Lord and against His anointed. Don't think we don't
hear the tapes, "a man, a man, a man, a man, a man!" Sure, I'm just a
man. I've got news for you: if you don't know it, you don't love me,
because I'm sweet, honest and wonderful, because I ain't. If I've got to
look in your eyes and tell you today the only reason you're here is
because of this Word. Then I'm fooled and you're fooled, we're all
fooled, let's go home and forget it. Let's go out and get drunk. Because
we've got a big headache now, and a bigger one just might help us.
Because I don't believe you're here for anything but the Word of God. I
don't believe there's one person sitting here because of my personality.
Ho, I can't stand it myself. I said, "I save God from puking." I looked
in the mirror and puked for Him. [laughter] 

	I'm not making… I'm telling you a lie. I'm telling you the truth
exactly how it is. You're here for any other reason than this Word,
because this Word slash and cuts, and believe me, It cuts me as hard or
harder than It cuts you. Just to line up with this Word in our
mechanics, so the dynamics of God can fill it. Because when Bro. Branham
correctly said, when he said, "Let there be Light, the Light might have
not come for two thousand years." When Jesus said, "I Am the
Resurrection and the Light, he that believeth in Me shall never die."
[Jn 11:25]  It's taken two thousand years to prove It. But there's
people sitting here this morning who will not die. Why? Because it
struck, the Spirit of God has struck the Word and made It Elijah. I'm
not going to die, I'm going to walk in, hallelujah. Oh, I love that!
(See?) I want to hit those Gardens with Jesus in the midst. (Yes sir!)

50.	Now listen, here is seen repudiation of the Message and messenger.
John 13:20, we know that.  

		(20) 	(Truly, truly) He that receiveth whomsoever I send (receives)
me; 						and he that (receives) me receiveth him that sent me.

	Now, that tells you that.

51.	Okay, with that, John 3:16.

		(16 )	For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, 
					whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting 
				life.

		(17) 	(Now) God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; 
					but that the world through him might be saved.

	Now listen, He's telling you something, if that Son was here with God
in Him to reconcile the world, then God here without the body has to be
"the same yesterday, today, and forever," because that body was not here
yesterday. And that body is not forever, it is only God, then He is here
to reconcile the world. What world? The world of the godly. Not the
world of the ungodly. There's two worlds you know, there's a world of
the ungodly which died in Noah's day, and still ungodly is here. And
there's the world to the godly, because they're two worlds. Anybody
knows there's two worlds. Spiritual and unspiritual.

 	Okay. Now, to remember, He came unto His Own, that's what He always
comes to.

		(18) 	He that believeth on him is not condemned: he that believeth not
						is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name 			
		of the only begotten Son of God.

		(19) 	And this is the condemnation, light is come into the world,…

	In other words, when the revelation comes, that's the thing that
counts. People say, "What about the mystery, what about the miracles?"
They're fine, but that's not it. It's the Word. (See?)

52.	All right, let's go to 1 John 3, I'm cutting this short, because
we've dealt in It, that is this section. I'll go over It again, don't
worry. Always repeat, repeat until it gets through to you.         1
John 3:11-15.

		(11) 	For this is the message (you've) heard from the beginning, that
we 						should love one another.

		(12) 	Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother…
					wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his 			
		brother's righteous.

	Now listen, right here people want to go to love, love, love, love,
love. Let's read It the way it's written. Okay:

		(11) 	For this is the message (you have) heard from the beginning,
that 						we should love one another.

		(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.

	Then what's the love all about? Loving God, loving His Word. Because
that's where the thing started. He couldn't take the revelation of God.
He couldn't take the Word of God. He couldn't take God. He killed his
brother. Then where are the roots of love?  

	Now, what's all this hogwash, "love, love, love, love, love." 

	It says, "Not as Cain."

	Oh my, just as long as Abel did not bring up in his revelation, Cain
and him got along real good. A typical Pentecostal pussy-cat. [laughter]
Sure! Sure, as long as Abel didn't say a word. Wonderful. (See?)

53.	That shows where love is. You understand what I am saying, is my
point getting across to you? There's where love is. Love is that which
speaks itself in the Word of Almighty God, and the revelation thereof.
That's why He said, "They have both seen and hated both me and my
Father. [Jn 15:23] And they'd say now, "Hold it, hold it, we don't stone
you for a good work, (He said) but you do whether you want to admit it
or not."

	"Oh, we don't hate you." 

	"But you do, because I gave you the Word." Oh sure, so let's understand
Scripture. 

		(13) 	Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.

	Notice: Cain's works were unrighteous, but Abel's were righteous. Yet,
the Bible said that Cain's sacrifice was absolutely beautiful. It was
termed as that which would be approved of God, as it were. But Abel's
was greater. See, they both came out of the Word.

		(13) 	Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.

		(14) 	We know we passed from death (to) life, because we love the 				
	brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.

		(15) 	Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and (you) know no 		
			murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

	Now, let's get to this and understand this one, because right away
you're going to get thrown again. "Oh, I mustn't have any feelings, I
mustn't defend the Word."

	A certain man said, "I don't fight anymore, I just refuse to fight."

	Bro. Palberg said, "Merciful heavens Lee, if this Message ain't worth
fighting for, what is?"

	The guy just lost all his fight for everything.

54.	Come on, let's go to Malachi 3, we're going to get more of this as
time goes on, but not this morning as we're in this one time. 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.

	The Holy Spirit veiled in the Word. Eating that Word. Eating that
Manna. I Am that Manna. (See?) I Am that which actually charges your
body to take you in. Your garments won't stink. How could those
beautiful garments stink, we're putting on inside? Changed in our very
atoms. How are you going to exude a stink and sweat? How's your shoes
going to wear out? 

	Oh my, listen, we're going to God's great Millennium brother/sister.
Let's not fool around and look at these cheap hamburger stands on the
roadside. Come on! Oh brother/sister, that was okay to a little tiny
kid, but you're grownup now. Manna is what you love. Certainly. You
ought to be used to it by now. Sure you are.

55.	Okay, verse 54, I read and It said: [John 6:]

		(54) 	Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life;
						and I will raise him up at the last day. 

	All right, but notice verse 58.

		(58) 	This is that bread which came from heaven: not as your fathers 	
				(ate) manna, and (are) dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live
						for ever.

	That's now. He said, "They ate that, they're dead." But he said, "I'm
telling you something, there's a people that's going to go in. What do
you want to eat this morning? It's up to you. (See?)

56. Okay, this is John 11:25-26, which I read. He stood there and He
said:

		(25) 	…I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me,
						though he were dead, yet shall he live: (and He proved it, He 				
	raised him.)

		(26) 	(Then) whosoever liveth and (dieth, though he were dead, yet
shall 					he live.)

	And that man Lazarus was dead and he proved it. Now, He's going to be
here to prove this. He's going to prove it to you and me, because we're
going to see the dead come out of the ground.

	Now, I know a lot of folk say, "I'm going  to be the first one to see
Bro. Branham." I don't know who is, and I don't care. Just as long as I
get there. You know, all this hogwash is though as we're somebody.
Somebody, somebody. You know, it always ends up in lies and hogwash, and
trash. What does it matter who sees Bro. Branham at all? Except we will
see him, being part of that age. When he comes out of the ground, sure.
But, I intend to see…I intend to see Abraham too. You know, I want to
get back to my real forbearers. I've got a real Tree, It's called 'The
Tree of Life'. Sure, that's where everything counts in that one.

 	Okay, [verse] 26.

		(26) 	And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never (perish. Do
						you believe) this? (Absolutely, I do believe it with all my
heart.)

57.	 Now, I'm going read to you and close off, because that's the
introduction. I think after a nice introduction, every speaker ought to
sit down. [laughter] 

	All right Hebrews 12.

		(25) 	See that (you) refuse not him that speaketh…

	People want to say that He quit talking. Ho, ho, that's the worst
mistake they ever made. Because, "He walks with me and He talks with
me." That's not the fancy of a song writer. That's Communion the prophet
said. Yes sir! 

		(25)	…For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, 	
				much more shall (they) not escape, if we turn away from him…					
from heaven:

	It doesn't say, "speaks from heaven," It says, "Him that is from
heaven."  Now, He was on earth. He died and He went back. And that body
can't come down here, except for the Millennium. And He's going to speak
once more, that One from Heaven.  

		(27) 	And this word, Yet once more, (signifies) the removing of those 
					things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those
things 						which cannot be shaken may remain.

58.	Now listen, when does that happen?  

		(28) 	Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us 	
				have grace, whereby we serve God acceptably with reverence and 					
godly fear:

		(29) 	For our God is a consuming fire. 

	When? At the end time. He never been a Consuming Fire before. This is
Malachi [4:]  

		Behold, the day cometh saith the Lord, yours shall burn like an over;
and 					all you that are proud and wickedly, I shall consume, leaving
neither root 					nor branch. But unto you that fear my name shall the
Sun of righteousness 					arise with healing in his wings; and you'll go
forth, as calves of the stall. 					And you'll tread down the wicked,
that they may be ashes under your feet. 					Behold, I send you Elijah
before the coming of the great and dreadful day 					of the Lord. And
he'll turn the heart of the children back to the father.

	So that you'll stand right there with Abel. Imagine, standing right
there with the first born one of a true human seed. Do you know, that
you're going only be a true human being when your atoms are changed?
Because you and I got too much of the old serpent in us.

	Do you know, the serpent has the dominant traits and therefore we are
more dominant in the natural then the spiritual? But don't let that bug
you. Don't let it bother you. I'll tell you why, because God's going to
overcome. You're not going to overcome brother/sister. I'll tell you
flat, you haven't got a prayer. There's no use you even praying. There's
no way. The only prayer you can say, "Lord God, let it be unto me,
according to Thy Word." Because I can't do any more.

 	Look it, Mary couldn't bring forth that child without male
intervention. She said, "I don't even have a man I'm married to, to have
a child by."

	He said, "You don't need one, what I'm talking about."

	In other words, human instrumentality is gone, it's between you and God
alone. I can't do it for you, nobody can do it for you, but God. (See?) 

59.	All right, now what's this subject about? Subject is all about the
fact that there are those who love and those who hate. I'm going to
prove it to you again. Just in case you missed it. 1 John 3.

		(11)	…this is the message…

	 I've got one thing to tell you what Jesus said. You stand up there and
say, "Hey, just a minute, we don't hate you."  

	He said, "You do." He said, "You do hate me and my Father." He said,
"If I had not done the mighty works another man did, you'd not sin, but
now, you have both seen and hated both me and my Father."

	Oh you say, "Bro. Vayle, that was a stinking bunch of Jews back there."
That's a bunch of Gentiles right here.

	You say, "I don't hate Him." Now, that's very nice of you honey, but
you're the same big rotten liar I was. 

	When God said to me, "Call that not common or unclean which God said. "

	I said, "Nah, Lord, I know You mean well, Lord, I thank you for it,
You're so sweet, but you see, Lord, I know better. I'm just a heathen
and I'm rotten, and You can't do a thing with me."

	Forty five years it cost me of my life. Until His Hand reached down and
I knew better. We're not talking about what you think brother/sister,
we're talking about what God says.

60.	Now, John says,  

		(11) 	…this is the message…that we should love one another.

	That's it, let's run with that. Shut up! John 3:16 isn't any good if
you take It out of context. So, what's he talking about? Not as Cain.
Not as Cain. Cain had an excellent sacrifice, no revelation and he
killed his brother. Do you know the poison word will kill. Do you know
that one word will kill? Add one Word, take one Word is death. That's
what It says.

		(12)	Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. 

	Now, He said, "Listen, why did he kill him?" His works were evil. What
evil works? Sacrifice unto God illegitimately, claiming a position he
didn't have. Abel turned around and said, "Let me tell you, there is a
revelation that goes with this Word. And the revelation says, "There is
blood, or the first-fruit doesn't obtain."

	And he said, "I'll get you." And he got him. And we say today, listen,
there's no sensation, there is no physical evidence of baptism with the
Holy Ghost, and Pentecostal's speaking with tongues, and doing their
hallelujah tap-dance. And the Roman Catholic church having gone
Charismatic and adopted the Pentecostal ways. And every church in the
world has adopted Pentecostal ways, they have sanctioned it. They're
gone. They're gone. Now, who do you think is going to get it?  I don't
like it anymore than you do. Sacrifice, there isn't any left. It's over.
It always was the Light my brother, my sister. It always was the Light,
and the Light points to the Blood. And they'll never be a loss of the
powers of Blood. It always was the Word, never was any different. That's
where the division is.

61.	I want to ask you a question: I won't ask the question, you already
know it, if you have anything to think with. 

		(13) 	Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.

		(14) 	We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we 			
		love the brethren… 

	This is the Message of love. Oh, kiss each other, have a good time.
Have a ball, be free, free, free. Shut up! Shut up and listen. This is
the message about Cain and Abel. Cain and Abel is what love is all
about. And Abel loved God enough to go to the Light and say, "Look I'm
wrong, what I do is wrong, I need help, I want whatever Light He's got."
and mean it. That's love. Because you see, that's love toward God. And
He said, "You'll have no gods before Me, or any love before Me."

	What are you? "I'm Baptist." You've done lost it right there. "Well,
I'm Trinitarian, you've done lost it right there. "Well, I belong to
this bunch." Well, you lost it right there. Because you're outside the
Name. There's only one place He put His Name. Who are you? Well, this is
going to kill you, but I hate to tell… ah, I just don't like to cause
it a fuss… because it's going to.

	It's going to make you really come against me, (you see) but you see,
I'm a little Jesus. I'm Mrs. Jesus. You're what? [said softly]
[laughter] 

	"Oh, you blasphemer, why do you say that? "

	"Because I'm Mrs. Jesus."

62.	Catholic church says that they're the bride of Christ. Them and who
else? Give me one pope that had this infallible. Old pope Pius, rose up
against the whole assembly of the Roman Catholic hierarchy, and he said,
"Mary has been ascended, is ascended bodily."

	And they said, "Don't do it, don't say it, don't say it, don't say it.
Because it'll alienate billions of people, there's no way you could
say…"  

	The pope say, "I am infallible." I'd like to have seen that guy cure
one wart. [laughter] Never mind the cancers. Why didn't he give
something? Why didn't he tell us something to show that he had any
authority? He had no authority. 

	 William Branham came on the scene. And he said, "Look…" 

	The girl said, "Look, Bro. Branham, she's out there in the boon-docks
ruptured appendicitis, couldn't be moved." Appendix, couldn't be moved.

	He said, "You have faith.?

	She said, "I got all the faith,:

	"Where, (he said) hogwash, you've got all the faith, or you'd be out of
this bed and praying for me. The trouble is you ain't go no faith." He
said, "Will you believe God that my prayer to God will heal you, if I
make this chandelier cord go this way, then reverse?"

	She said, "Yes."

	 He said, "Then chandelier cord go this way." It did. "Now reverse."

	With this she jumped out of bed. I'd like to see the pope even turn his
eyeballs that fast both directions. [laughter] Or both ears. My sister
could make her nose like a bunny's, I can't do it. I guess I'm lost.
[laughter] You see what I'm talking about?

63.	Look it, foolishness, foolishness, foolishness, foolishness,
foolishness against the Word of God. The One that is to speak one more
time the Consuming Fire, the fan is in His hand and bringing a Bride to
the Millennium. And they say, "Well, we can't take it. I've had enough
of all this Presence, Presence, Presence stuff." 

	Are people angry because I have been used of God hopefully to bring
this understanding? Not that Bro. Branham didn't bring the
understanding, let's get this flat. I pondered this before he died. I
tried to preach It after he died. But till 1977 It never came where It
is today. And in '77 It isn't what It is today. Today It is a Reality of
Life, and if God has used me a little bit, (and I know He has) as a
teacher to show the people the wonders of what is transpiring among us.
Because the Wonderment Himself is here, then am I to be blamed? 

	Let me tell you something brother/sister, what hurts me is this: when
men themselves don't what is going on, and in ignorance fight. They're
in trouble and those that are with them, and for this reason; if you
don't understand this morning, please do not come against me in this
Word. If you don't understand, don't you do it, because something will
happen to you.

	You say, "Bro. Vayle, how do you know?" …?... never failed  when He's
told me. When that voice inside speaks, it's like an audible impression
in my mind, and my whole body goes through it. It has never failed yet,
and He told me the day of Ananias and Sapphira is here. I might not see
it, but you will. Don't fool with me. Don't fool this morning
brother/sister. Don't worry about Lee Vayle as a man, you can forget
him. But you respect this Word here. (See?) 

64.	This Word is real. The Seals have been opened. This Word has gone
before kings and prince's. This is the Message of the Kingdom, the last
Word has gone around the world. It's the only one vindicated since the
time of the apostle Paul. Church historians who know admit,
categorically admit that no ministry has been greater than William
Branham in this world.

	Now, where did he get It? He got It from God. Because It wasn't William
Branham, it's not me, and I don't put myself with him. Except my lot
falls with him, the same as yours does. And he said, he said, "You might
have thought that I was talking about myself seeing I was preaching this
Message, I have no more to do with It than nothing, just a voice."

	Now, we've taken an introduction this morning, and you've seen by the
Word that they loathed the Manna. They did not love It. It was contrary
to them. It was. Now, this Message because It is the 'eagle' is contrary
to the man. The 'lion' was contrary to Israel. It snowed them, it felled
them, it flattened them, and they said, "Let's kill him, let's kill him,
let's kill him, because that's the only way to deal with it. Because
those guys set the world on fire.

	The 'calf ' came in, the lowly oxen, they loved to die for the cause of
Christ. They did it through the dark ages. The 'face' of a man came in,
and the man's the cunning of all, because in him lies the subtlety of
the beast and the smartness of a man. And he stood there and he preached
the most fantastic sermons, but they had error in them. 

65.	Now, you've got four billion people on earth. A billion of them,
Christians. (Yep) The 'face' of a man comes against one 'eagle'. And
they said, "Who are you to tell us?"  (Follow me?) They'll get you.
Abel, the Cain's are going to get you, but not all of you. And they
won't kill you hopefully. Oh, that would be nice if they did in a hurry.
Because these Abel's are not going to die, because you see, the Abel
back there was identified in a death and a resurrection. And we are not
identified in a death, we are identified in a resurrection. I shall not
die, but live. That's one regret I have, I'm not going to get out of
here. I hope I do. I'm …?... you see, I hope you understand what I am
saying.

	Look, the Word of this hour is: 'we're not going to die'. I would like
to get out of here, because I know already. It's just so natural and so
nice. Now, I haven't got it down to perfection yet, but He's working on
it. (Yep, yep) You follow me? 

	Let's rise. Two hours, my, my, my, just on the introduction. Well if I
introduced you to Him and let you know what the reactions are in the
world,  it's been a good day. If I haven't helped you, I'm sorry. But
I'm going to tell you one thing, if I haven't helped you, it's your own
fault. Because I have stood up here and had thoughts come to me. I've
never had in my life come to me with such clarity as this morning. If
you haven't been helped, I'll pray for you, because you need prayer.
Because let me tell you, this Word brother/sister is just like that
Manna. Moses might have brought It down through the grace given to him.
Just like the prophet did, I'm going to tell you, Moses ate the same
Manna. William Branham ate the same Word. By the grace of God reading
the same Word, we are one flesh, we are one bread. We are one kindred,
we are one Abel identified in Him. You see? He died for It, we're going
to live for It.

	Heavenly Father, we're so grateful for You having come down in our
midst, giving us a prophet to point You out. Which is exactly according
to the Word. And everything in there was absolutely identified in the
Word, and we're grateful, Lord. We're glad we are a part this morning.

	Now, Heavenly Father, we just pray in Jesus' Name that there won't be
one person who misses any of the things that have been said, which are
pertinent to them at this particular moment. In other words, Lord,
building block upon block and cementing and cementing until, Lord, the
very atoms are being changed in our bodies. Which they are and we're
grateful for it.

	Father God, for those of us who must pass off the scene, our atoms are
changing and going down for the soul and spirit to be released, to go to
that spirit-body. But there'll be others standing here whose atoms will
begin to pick up like Abraham and Sarah of old. And absolutely they'll
be here standing when the dead come out of the earth, and they all rise,
every one of us rise up to meet Him, Who is incarnated Himself in that
lovely One Who gave his life. That One way back there from the
eternities, Who stood before the Father. Now standing still for us. One
day will stand with Him, Who is that  Father incarnated in that Son. And
we'll all be one in the glorious realm of the glorified bodies. Just to
think, Lord, that You're going to take on a Glorified Body to be with
glorified sons.

	We'll sing and shout and dance about. What a time there's going to be,
like little children absolutely free, free, free as never before. Oh,
how wonderful, Lord, those that feel Your breezes blow upon us. How rich
is that Manna from Heaven. Feed us ever more, O God. It is not that dull
and lifeless thing. It is that Living Word, Lord. What we do we
excoriate ourselves and hate ourselves, because we've got so much of the
flesh in us, that we don't put all our time just on that Word, and all
out thoughts upon You.

	Oh God, may this church when the time comes, even before the times of
dedication as far as we're concerned, it's Yours already, lock, stock
and barrel. May the people in this building coming and going, nevermore
have anything to say, and to think, except that wonderful Word which is
the flesh of our God. Lord, we think the thoughts of what belongs to the
Bride, which is the Bridegroom. How wonderful, how propitious, how
simple, how marvelous, all of this is, Lord, and we're so grateful. And
unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be all
power and honor and glory through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 

	'The Lord bless you'. You can go singing, "We'll walk in the Light."
Remember, that's what it's all about.
