Quickening Power of the End Time
‘The Word of the Hour Coming to Life’
Brother Lee Vayle - April 19, 1987.
....Now we commit ourselves unto You at this moment, for this little
address we have for the people, Lord; sort of preparatory for another
message. Help us Lord God, to honor this great day of Your resurrection,
thereby in a way perhaps we have not understood in honor before. In
Jesus Name we pray. Amen. You may be seated.
1. Now this part of the service I might entitle, The Quickening Power
of the End Time. The Quickening Power of the End Time. And this morning
is one to do, that is this morning’s message that I’m going to bring
you later. It has to do with the end-time wherein the evening-time
ripening
sun and the evening-time ripening rain, are bringing forth into full
manifestation or maturity, a harvest and from this harvest into a final
disposition, of course at the White Throne, of both the holy and unholy
people, who are typed as wheat and tares.
2. Now, we said here that the message that I’m going to be dealing
with has to do with the end time wherein, the evening time ripening sun,
and the evening time ripening rain are bringing forth into full
manifestation or maturity, ‘a harvest’. And from this harvest into a
final disposition at the White Throne. Now you heard what I’m saying.
So put it together. At the White Throne, both the holy and the unholy
people who are typed, or called; ‘wheat and tares.’ And this
ripening rain and sun of the evening time, is the ‘quickening
power’, or has within it the quickening power of the end time as set
forth in Eph 1:17-23 and 1 Corinthians 15, which we will read in a
minute.
3. Now it says here,
(17) That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may
give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge
of him:
And Bro. Branham categorically says, “That is this; the Spirit of
wisdom comes into the Church, to make known to the Church by the
revelation of the Holy Spirit, bringing the Church in and revealing what
day we are living in.” Just the same as Gabriel in Dan 8:16, came to
Daniel. The Holy Spirit comes to the Church in the last days to reveal
these great deep spiritual secrets. So this is a special visitation of
the Holy Spirit, Himself as it was in the days of Paul to William
Branham.
(18) The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may
know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the
glory of his inheritance in the saints, (Now, this is known as the
former rain or the ‘teaching rain’. Watch the results. Watch
what it’s going to do. It’s going to quicken.)
And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who
believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and
set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and
every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that
which is to come:
(22) And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the
head over all things to the church, (Now, that’s to the Bride. Now
remember this is concerning His Presence and this is the ‘putting
under all things,’ right?)
4 . Let’s go to I Corinthians 15, and see something there, that’s
going to be a little bit different, but actually the same; the
very same thing. All right. We’ll look at verse 20, I suppose, about
where we will start, somewhere in that area. All right.
But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of
them that slept.(Now that’s actually; resurrection body. He’s up
there on the Father’s Throne at this time. For since the seals have
been ripped off; He climbed on the Father’s Throne
(21) For since by man came death, by man came also the
resurrection of the dead. (From amongst the dead in our case.)
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
(23) But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits;
afterward they that are Christ's at his (presence). (Now this was
written after the first part of the first Resurrection. The Old
Testament saints are resurrected, they are somewhere. Praise the
Lord for that. Gives us great courage.)
(24) Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom
to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and
all authority and power. (Now, it tells you in this ‘Presence’
these things are going on. Authority and power are being put down.
Now watch what he’s saying.)
For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
(Right?)
(26) The last enemy shall be destroyed is death.
Now what you’re seeing here is the same thing doing two different
things. Right? You’re looking at me kind of blank. And so I want you
to get this. Are you His enemies? Who is His enemy this morning? Let me
see your hands. Nobody? This is not for you then. He’s here but He’s
not doing this to you. What’s He doing to you? Ephesians, right? Are
you still drawing blanks?
Oh, this is Easter morning, come on, let’s rise with Christ. I
don’t need your shouting. I just want to see your faces. I’m looking
at your faces and I got enough light and I want to see it ‘dawn’ on
you. Surely by now, you understand what is going on. Maybe some
preachers don’t know what’s going on. Maybe some congregations. But
I pride myself, in this respect in all humility before God; He has shown
me what’s going on and I’ve shown you. And you know what’s going
on. So, there’s something going on! Quickening power! Quickening power
is going on and things are happening. And we are not unaware, the
apostle Paul says. All right. Okay.
5. John the Baptist spoke of this, what we are seeing today, in Matthew
the 3rd chapter. And we’re in for a nice long session today. So tell
the Holiday Inn to wait our dinners for us. All right. I might not get
to sermon number two, if I don’t; it’s all right. All right.
( 6) And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their
sins.(That’s a lot of folk. In verse 7,)
( 7) But when he (John) saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees
come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers,
who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Hey, you bunch of dirty birds! Who told you to come out of Babylon?
Who’s going to get hit with the 4 x 4? Babylon! Who told you dirty
birds to come out of Babylon? Well you got out here, so you better bring
forth fruit meet for repentance. What’s fruit? Word! Word! What did I
say? (Congregation answers, “Word.”) Did I say right? Well, I
believe you said right, if I didn’t. Because Brother Branham said,
that was what? “Matthew 7.” Right. What’s repentance? Change your
mind. Or is ‘repentance’ a feeling you get. I always like to blast
that. I won’t do it this morning. I’ll be nice and sweet this
morning. Honey, bring me the molasses for my cherry pie.
( 9) And think not to say within yourselves, (I’m Baptist,
Presbyterian, Oh, no, no...) We have Abraham to our father:
(Why Luther. I believe in him. Wesley, I believe in him. I want
to tell you something. I got a lot of, you know, ancestors.)
for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise
up children unto Abraham.
(10) And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the (your)
trees:
Your denominational dogmas and creeds. Well come on, isn’t that
what he said? Bring forth fruit. And they’re in a tree to bring forth
fruit. And this is the first fruit at the end time, right?; the highest
they’ve come to. So I’ll come chop you down, boy. I’m going to
chop your organization down. If you don’t want to get chopped down,
get out of my way! Well, you say, “You’re going to get chopped down
anyway.”
6. Let’s keep reading,
(10) And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees:(leaving
neither root nor branch) therefore every tree which bringeth not
forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Every tenet, every doctrine, laying aside every precept that has a
contamination, except the last message has no contamination, nor ever
will; Hebrews 6. Keep with me. All right. Throw in the fire.
(11) I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that
cometh after me is mightier than I (am), whose shoes I am not
worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and
fire: (Correctly he did so. But watch!)
(12) Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his
floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; (and) he will burn up
the chaff with unquenchable fire
Two things going on at one time. The preparation of the Bride and the
preparation of the non-bride. The preparation of the true fruit, the
preparation of the bad fruit. The true fruit has the true Word. The bad
fruit has the bad word. It’s just that simple. Right?
Who says this message is hard? And I’m a Philadelphia lawyer and I
have to teach preachers instead of little nice folk like you people.
Somebody blew it. Tried getting answers from you. And I don’t think
anybody here is a theologian, I’m not for sure. I’ve been called
one, but I’ve been called even worse than that. All right.
7. Jesus fulfilled Mt 3:11 at the Alpha announcement of ‘Elijah
number 3’.
(11b) “...he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and fire.
And the man who said that; said, I’m not worthy to even talk about
Him, let alone be near Him, but he said, I’m going to tell you what
He’s all about.
All right, then. Mt 3:11 was the Alpha announcement by Elijah number
3, and Jesus must now fulfill Mt 3:12 as the Omega announcement of the
Elijah number 4, because the fire comes in Malachi 4. Not in Malachi 3.
This can be seen in Isaiah 61: verses 1-2; with which we’re very
familiar, we’ve read them many times.
( 1) The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath
anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to
bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and
the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
( 2) To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, (Alpha, Omega) and
the day of vengeance of our God;(yet)to comfort (those) that mourn;
And you will notice, the emphasis is put upon the negative because
that’s what’s going to get it, as to maximum of extension or
magnitude. The Bride in turn will receive the maximum and a little
partial, because She’s a small group. And the big thing is, you’ll
notice here, you are to get your eyes on the vengeance. That’s the big
thing. Every place in Scripture now, you going to hear ‘vengeance and
fire’, ‘vengeance and fire’, ‘vengeance and fire.’ But
remember, there never was a Mount Ebal which is ‘evil’; without
Mount Gerizim which is ‘blessing’. You can never read anything that
is negative without knowing there is a positive. That is in nature,
that’s the way God made it.
[Matthew 3:]
(12) Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his
floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; burn up the chaff
8. All right. That is then the Omega. And this of course, lines
perfectly with Acts the 3rd chapter beginning at verse 19 in the middle
of it where Peter is saying,
(19b) When the times of refreshing (when a great healing revival is
going to comes from God.)
And remember the prophet said, “There’s no such thing a genuine
healing revival unless there’s an entirely new message.” So any
Pentecostal sitting here, I don’t want to hurt you, but you done
killed yourself without me saying it, if you don’t get rid of all of
your Pentecostalism. Saying, “I came out of Pentecost.” But you got
Pentecost in you. You’re still doomed. “Who warned you to flee from
the wrath to come”.
I’m not a nasty preacher, I’m a hard hitter but I’m going to
tell you something. This applies to me. I’m not trying to apply it to
you. Well say, I’m going to stand here and just tell you some-thing.
The hardest thing I had in my life was to get Pentecost out of me.
That’s the hardest thing you got; is get the Baptist out of you, the
Methodist out, the Amish out of you, the Mennonite out of you. The
Presbyterian. You ain’t got too much to get out of you kid, but get it
out of you anyway.
You say, “You shouldn’t say that.” I am an old Presbyterian. My
mother was the same religion that Joe Raczkovi’s was; Reformed church.
That’s right. Died in the wool Presbyterian. I mean ‘died’.
D-i-e-d.. Not so much d-y-e-d. Dead in the wool Presbyterian.
(19b) When the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of
the Lord. (Okay. Now that’s not Parousia. That’s all right
though.)
(20) And he shall send Jesus Christ, which (was appointed or
proclaimed in advance unto you) before was preached
unto you:
(21) Whom the heavens must (still keep back) receive until the times
of (restoration) restitution of all things, which God hath spoken
by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began, (is
taken place.)
9. Now what does that mean? Now listen, you get the tapes, I don’t
know. It’s okay by me. But if you’re following my ministry in my own
church, you would hear me bring this up many times. What is a prophet
all about? Not miracles. Not prophesying. No! The Word!! And God puts
His Word in those people’s mouths. Then all right. At the end time
somebody’s got to rise up with the Word of God in his mouth, not just
a word, but the entire Word of that season. For this time, after that
revival! Now come on. I’m not lying to you. I got my chronology right,
brother/sister.
You know something? I’m preaching today relaxed knowing the White
Throne is here now and I’m going to prove it to you before the day is
over. It takes old Jack Bell to get what I want. All I got to do is say
something. He comes right behind me and nails it down with quote after
quote. Nice going Jack, love you. I’ll just keep you right around me,
kid. He gets me out of trouble because I shoot my mouth off. I’ll say,
here’s what the prophet said and this is it. And I think, “Oh boy,
did he really mean it, you know?” Did he really mean it in the sense
that this is not an isolated quote? That this is something that fits in
with all of it. Old Jack picks it right up and he tells me, Hey did you,
you said this. So thank you Brother Bell. Stick around.
10. Okay,
(22) For Moses truly said, the fathers, the prophets shall your Lord
your God raise up like unto me, him you shall hear in all things
whatever he said. It shall come to pass that every soul that will
not hear that prophet shall be destroyed from among the people.
Now that word is ‘utterly destroyed’, which comes only under
Malachi the 4th chapter, does not come under the 3rd chapter. And
remember, after Jesus even died, was crucified by those people there was
a remnant and under the fifth Seal they still come up. So they are not
utterly destroyed because those under the Fifth Seal die without
believing in Jesus the Savior. So that can only refer to one time and
that’s this time, when the Lord Jesus Christ appears on the scene in
the form of the Holy Ghost in a Pillar of Fire, face to face with a
Prophet like Moses and like Paul. Three in history. It’s when it
comes. And at that time they’re destroyed.
11. Now notice, at that time if they’re going to be destroyed utterly
those that don’t hear, then there’s those that do hear and won’t
be destroyed. Ebal and Gerizim. Gerizim and Ebal. You listen! You can
never hear a curse in God’s Word and not know there’s a blessing.
And you can never hear a blessing and not know there’s a curse.
That’s the law of the parallelism of Scripture given to me by the
Lord. Yes, it’s true. The parallelism of Scripture; you cannot get
away from it. All right!
The end time quickening power of the Resurrection and Rapture has to
separate the wheat and the tares. That’s in Mal 4:1-6. And he says
categorically; “I’m going to come and destroy, but he said, in my
Coming, I am rising upon these people as the Great Avenger and upon you,
I am arising with healing for immortality.” So God is here to bust the
system wide open. To take out the true and destroy the false. And He
says, I’m going to do it by Elijah. Because He said, if Elijah
didn’t come, I’d just destroy everything. But I’m coming and I
won’t destroy everything. I’ll gather my wheat into the garner.
12. Now listen, I’m an old Alberta boy and I got good Saskatchewan
friends here. Bro. Gunther’s here. Bro. Klassen’s here. Pete, he’s
a Klassen there. And I got enough people from Canada to know what I’m
talking about. Now years ago, when we had the old uh, maybe Pete
doesn’t know about this, he’s pretty young. But anyway, here’s the
point when I was a kid we used to have these old thrashing machines and
they didn’t have the short stalk wheat. They had this long stalk
wheat. Why as a kid I could about get lost in it.
So at the end of the season they would build a little granary. And
there would be maybe about twelve feet by eight feet by about eight
feet. And you should see the stack of straw along side that tiny
cubicle. Little tiny granary like that ‘little room’. I’m not
saying this is what it is in the ‘tent vision’. But like the little
teensy room in that huge tent that was blocks and blocks. A little
teensy, weensy place. Could be striking something. How do I know? I just
spit it out when I think of it. But when I was a kid that little teensy,
weensy granary and there’s just a huge amount of straw. That’s
exactly what you’re seeing today, brother/sister. Because if you see
in the literal Rapture, of the literal Rapture; I mean people made
immortal standing here. Not the dead coming out of the ground, but if we
were to see seven hundred out of one billion Christians and never mind
the rest; we’re doing good. Now that’s what’s happening at the
‘end time quickening power’.
13. The ‘end time quickening power’ is Lk 17:26, a separation into
the Rapture itself. And in Matthew 24; it’s a separation of the people
themselves. What is doing this? The quickening power of God striking His
Word. Now with this in mind, ‘harvest now’. What is our mind upon?
Harvest now! Harvest now! You see, you’re still looking down the road.
I’ve got news for you. You that believe the Message have already been
gathered. And you that are going to believe are going to be gathered. So
the harvest is on. The harvest sun and the harvest rain.
14. So with this in mind, a ‘harvest now’; we come to the parable
of Mt 13:24-30, 36-43 wherein I won’t read it to you, you can read it
yourself. Where it tells a sower went forth to sow and a man came behind
sowing the tares. And they said, should we rip them up? And he said, no,
let them grow together. And when they have gone through due process of
the rain and the sun. They’ve gone through the due process up to
maturation; I will separate them and I’ll take everything out and burn
it, that offends me. And I’ve been offended a long time with
cigarettes and drunkenness and brawling and all the filth and all the
junk and all the mess. And I’d only be offended because of the Spirit
of God, otherwise I’d be rolling like a hog with the rest of them. And
so would you.
And don’t tell me that the sinners don’t have pleasure. That old
Pentecostal hogwash; I’ve hit it many a times. They’d say, I was
taught when I was a kid, well the sinner is not having any fun. Ha, ha,
ha! He’s not having any fun? You got to be dopey, sick and my God,
distressed in your mind until you’re an idiot. He loves it. He’s the
pig in the puddle. He’s having a ball. Right, Roger? Sure, it’s the
truth. Anybody that says he didn’t have fun in unrighteousness; he
only means one thing, he was having a ‘whale’ of a good time and God
pricked his conscience and he didn’t like it. You had a ball, baby.
Let’s face it. I never saw a sheep that couldn’t interest himself in
everything that was ‘sheepish’ but dirty. In other words, he could
act just like a hog except he didn’t go all the way in the puddle. I
could prove that by illustrations I’ve seen on farms and everything
else.
15. He’s going to take out the offending things. Now, then listen to
me. Here’s what I’m going to show you to help you. Gen the 3:17,18.
This is what we got in mind. 17 to 18.
(17) And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the
voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I
commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the
ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days
of thy life;
(18) Thorns also and thistles shall it (sprout. Now, you say the King
James Version says, ‘bring forth’. I don’t care if it does.
It says ‘sprout’. I got a reason for saying that. I’m going
to say what the prophet said, “The seeds were already there.”
So when the earth
brought forth what did it do. It sprouted ‘em. Funny they
couldn’t sprout before that though, could they? Sprouted.); and
thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
(19) In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou
return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust
thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.(Thorns also, and
thistles shall it sprout, shall it bring forth into full maturity.
Yes sir. That’s what it’s going to do.)
16. Let’s see how it’s done. Gen 2:5-6.
(5) And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and
every herb of the field before it grew: (Ha ha,
one was put in the earth and one was already there to
grow. Ha ha! Preach it Bro. Vayle. People catch on if they listen
to the prophet long enough.) for the Lord God had not caused it to
rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
( 6) But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole
face of (it.)
So we see the sun and the rain was predestinated to bring forth the
seed that was already there. So all right. We have a seed that is
already here. And it’s got to come forth to maturity.
17. Let’s read in Zechariah and see some more things about the rain.
Zechariah chapter 10. I love the Scripture what Brother Branham gave us.
It is just delicious. Just delicious!
( 1) Ask ye of the Lord rain in the time of the latter rain; so the
Lord shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to
every one grass in the field.
Why do you want rain? To bring forth a harvest. Right? All right!
18. Hosea. That’s a nice little book way back here. I think that
follows Daniel. Never could get these little tiny books straight in my
mind. Hos 6:1-3.
( 1) Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and he
will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. (All right,
the curse is hit. The negative hit us. Now they say, bring on the
positive.)
( 2) After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise
us up, and we shall live in his sight.
( 3) Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going
forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come
unto us as the rain,
His appearing unto us in the process of the binding of the tares and
the binding of the wheat. In the process of administering the curse and
ministering the blessing, His Presence is going to be called ‘rain’.
Latter and former rain. And the former rain is the ‘teaching rain’
and the latter rain is the ‘power rain’.
19. And Bro. Branham had to go to the Hebrew for that. Wasn’t it
strange God didn’t say prophet? I’m going to tell you something.
That Word is, means ‘teaching rain’. God let the prophet go to the
Hebrew. Hum. He must have been pretty human after all, eh? I just want
to get your thinking unkooked. If you’re one of those kooked up
thinkers, brother/sister, let us get unkooked this morning. We don’t
have time for junk. We don’t have time for this hogwash.
Man, years ago said, “I know Bro. Branham was not the prophet of
God.”
“I said, how do you know?”
“He said, because he told us to keep our eyes closed while he prayed
and cast out devils.”
I said, “Where’d you get that from?”
Kid came to me. I don’t know if he was wet behind the ears or he was
still you know, like a polliwog in the pool. I got through preaching
down in Florida, Miami. He and I shook hands. He said,
“I don’t believe in notes.”
“I said, you don’t?”
He said, “No.”
“Some preacher show you?”
He said, “No.”
I said, “Here’s my Bible, prove it.”
He said, “I sure don’t believe in concordances.”
“Here’s another one, prove it. You in trouble, son, you don’t
believe what I’m saying, do you?”
He said, “No.”
I said, “I paid for this soapbox; get your own soapbox.”
You say, “Bro. Vayle, you should of talked and been nice.” Why
don’t you talk and be nice? I did exactly right. At least I think I
did. Why would I owe the man an apology like that?
20. Rain. Joel the 2nd chapter, 18 to 32.
(18) Then will the Lord be jealous for his land, (now watch this.
The Lord will be jealous for his land) and
pity his people.
Say, na, na, na, that’s wrong emphasis. The Lord shall be jealous for
his people and then pity his land. He didn’t say that. Now, I’d say
it. You bet. I’d have good reason to say it, too. Because when I’m
redeemed and you’re redeemed; the whole world gets redeemed. But at
this point, I believe this is the point where the Lord says, if I
don’t send Elijah, I’ve had it with every-body. Land, I’m sorry
for you. Oh boy, what they’ve done to you. Say, “I don’t think God
would talk as though the earth were animated.” I think He does.
Because He’s jealous for His land. Course, you could say, “Well Bro.
Vayle, that really means ‘his people’ because we’re God’s
husbandry.” Yeah, that’s right. I admit that. But I’m not going to
say that. I’m going to let you say that. I’ll say it with you to a
little degree. I won’t be that nasty. Lord ..
(19) Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I
will send you corn, and wine, and oil, (Now that’s good because
that’s going to get out of the land,) and you’ll be satisfied
therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the
heathen:
(20) But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will
drive him into a land barren and desolate, with
his face toward the east sea, and his hinder
part toward the utmost sea, and his stink
shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath
done great things.
(21) Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do
great things, (O land.)
(22) Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field:
Huh? This is the day when the Lord is going to destroy those who’s
going to destroy the earth. Remember the story that was early America
where they said the passenger pigeons filled the skies. My mother tells
when she first went to Alberta in the turn of the Twentieth Century,
there’s a little old lake there somewhere, in southern Alberta, she
said the ducks and geese came in they literally blacken the skies. You
could literally sneak up and hit them with a club. Foxes roamed the
prairies. When I was a kid the blue birds were by the hundreds. The
meadowlarks sang day and night. The robins came in. Where are they
today? People look around and say, “Well, you know, we’re the
important things.”
21. Take a gander at this Scripture here, brother/sister. Take a good
look this morning. I want you to know something this morning. I’ve
been preaching the Zoe of God. Some of you people didn’t come out
Saturday afternoon, you missed it. I knew I had to give it a double
shot, and I’m not through yet. I’m preaching the Zoe of God, from
this Scripture here, ‘Life’, as it was in God, in man, in animals
and in plants.
Oh, what does it say? Now that oil is not oil out of the ground.
That’s olive oil.
(22) Be not afraid, beasts of the field: for the pastures of the
wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, (Oh praise
God, the very top
branches under William Branham. God put forth another branch. Put
a branch forth in Luther. Right? Didn’t work. Put a branch forth
in
Westley, didn’t root. Put a branch forth in Pentecost, didn’t
work.
But He put a branch forth in William Branham, and it did work.
If it didn’t work, you wouldn’t be here. You’d be back there
with the
Nazarenes, making love to a corpse.) the fig tree and the vine do
yield their strength.
(23) Be glad then, ye children of Zion, (Going to bring us back to a
renewed
world,) and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the
former rain moderately, (You had a touch of the teaching rain one
day,
one day church you had a touch of it,) and he will cause to come
down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain (as He
did)in the first. (Not first month, but He did the first. Back to
the Ephesians church brother/sister.)
I like this, don’t you?
(24) And the floors shall be full of wheat, (God’s floors. This
is judgment. This
is quickening power. This is what’s happening. See? This is the
result,)
and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil(s). (Don’t you
destroy the
wine and the oil.
(25) ( Seventh Seal hour) restored unto you the years that the
locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, (palmerworm, caterpillar, what
is it? All the same bug in different stages. Four stages) my great
army (that) I sent among you.
(26) And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the
name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you:
and my people shall never be ashamed.
(27) And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, that I
am your God, and none else:
22. This is now in the presence, the time of the former and latter
rain, He says, “He’s here,” and yet people deny it, and say,
“He’s here, so what?” Can’t tell the difference between the
baptism and the Baptizer. Huh? I could have an example here, I could of
said, “Now, I want one of you men to stand up with your son, and say,
‘Son are you the father and father are you the son? What’s going on
here? Anybody that can’t tell the son from the father, especially if
the kid is only two years old is got to be an insane person. But if you
can tell the baptism from the Baptizer, what’s going on with you. A
lot of preachers can. Some theologians can, but they can’t place Him.
I can prove that. I’ll take you to any Bible book store and go to
chapter 1 of the book of Ephesians, verse 17, and they’ll say, “Hey,
this ain’t the baptism, we’ve already got it, in 13 and 14. But you
talk to people in Pentecost, Would you? Come on, I won’t ask you. But
you’ve got a job, because you’re the ones that boasted in the
baptism with the Holy Ghost. And now the One that’s come in our midst
and showed Himself, and had His picture taken, and gave us Word for
Word. And then can’t say, “Amen,” to that Word. And say that they
got a part of Him.
23. When Bro. Branham said, “The token of this hour is the Lord Jesus
Christ Himself.” And people say, “Well I got the token.” You
ain’t got that token, you’d be God incarnate. William Branham was
the one that had Him... You and I, because we’ve got a little bit of
His life, say, “Amen, that’s the prophet, Malachi 4. That is Elijah
done come.” Those are the words of a man, that man’s words can never
do that man’s got God, and God’s got that man. That man stand to
say but five thousand people say, “Let every spirit in this building
under My control,” and prove it. We’re talking about something
pretty big here.
(27) And you’ll know that I am in the midst of Israel, that I
am your God, and none else: (To recognize God, and God only,)
and my people shall never be ashamed.
Yep! Do you know that this is the day that shame goes by the board?
You’re not. Why? Because you’re not naked anymore, you’re clothed
in His Word. You see?
(28) (You shall know) come to pass afterward, (It’ll come to pass,
not afterward. It’ll come to pass at the latter time.) I’ll
pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your
daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your
young men shall see visions:
But at that day my prophet who speaks face to face with Me, and sees
Me in a form, He won’t have visions and dreams, like these people
have, though he’s entitle to them once in a while, does have them. But
he’ll come and give you the Word like Moses and Paul gave them... face
to face visitation, while the rest have their dreams and their visions
and their prophesies, and their gifts and all. But we stand with the
Word vindicated prophet. (Amen. You better praise God.)
24. You say, “Bro. Vayle, I had a dream.” One sweet old guy in
California, nice old guy said, “Well you know Bro. Vayle, I love Bro.
Branham, but you know,” he said, “I had some visions myself.
And I could of said, “Oh God, brother, let’s you and I pool our
resources and see what you had, compared with what I had.” Listen,
I’ve wakened up in the darkness of night and seen a vision just like
I’m looking at you people in technicolor and heard a voice and say
exactly what would come to pass, and it came to pass. I’ve had dreams
in techinicolor that came to pass. Time after time I prophesied and
I’ve said things that’s come to pass, and some of you congregation
know, and it’ll continue to come to pass. I’ve got nothing. I could
simply qualify with those out there in the world with your vision and
your dreams. I listened to a man that spoke face to face with God.
What I say exactly what he said, that constitutes me a prophet in my
own rite, because Aaron was a prophet, and he was God to pharaoh, the
same as Moses was prophet and God to Aaron. Trickle down economy, but
the economy is of God. Nothing is going to stop it. He said, “Upon my
servants, My men and My women. They’re not going to have a bunch of
dreams and visions and things to come.”
You say, “Well I got this, I got that. Hallelujah.” Because when
Bro. Branham preached ‘The Anointed Ones at the End Time’, he said,
“Ain’t nobody got nothing but me.”
“Ohhhh! But Bro. Branham, I’ve got something.”
Then prove it by listening. And say, “Amen,” to every word that
takes the skin off of us. Maybe he says something to your personal
habits, and the guts to back it. I stand with the prophet.
Well, if you want me to back down with what the prophet told me
personally. I ain’t backing down anymore. Haven’t paid much of a
price, but I guess I’ll pay more for it. But I’m not backing down.
Say, “Lee, you and I are just alike. There’s just one little
thing...”
“What do you mean Bro. Branham?”
He said, “I got a little gift of healing, nobody wants it, and
you’ve got a little gift of teaching and nobody wants it.”
I could explain that, I just leave it with you, you can do what you
want with it.
You say, “Well I don’t think the prophet meant it.”
Then he didn’t mean anything else either, because I didn’t ask him
to see to see a thing. You’re just sitting yarning so to speak. I’m
not going to back away for it. I don’t like the vessel any more than
you do. In fact, I don’t like it half as much as you do, because
you’re not around it. The only reason I’ve got a fan club is my
wife, and she’s part of me, so that ruined her.
25. All right. He said, “After his, (he said) there’ll be signs
and wonders and the great tribulation comes o. All right. Now listen, It
has taken both the latter rain and the former rain to quicken the wheat
and tares. Do you follow? So, Bro. Vayle, “What do you mean?” I
mean what Bro. Branham said. “We get the baptism with the Holy Ghost,
the tares get the anointing.”
Now, the spirit is the last thing that the baby gets. So it comes from
its mother’s womb, invades the body, and becomes the channel for the
nature of the soul to be produced in the body. And so therefore it is
not a body, soul and spirit; it is soul and body and spirit. What the
spirit sort of anointing on the outside somehow and that’s where the
Spirit of God gets to anoint the human spirit, and the Spirit of God
then is blocked and doesn’t get down into the soul. And so therefore,
the tares are anointed, and they can be anointed even to the extent that
they can get this Message of Bro. Branham’s technically correct, but
they’ll never get the real revelation of down inside. And you can talk
this, and you can talk that, and you’re like a hundred percent like
you’re one of them, but you ain’t. Because Paul said, “Though I
have all knowledge and know all mysteries, (he said) I’m not one of
them, until I’m full of the Holy Ghost.” Bro. Branham equated love
to the Holy Ghost. I’m going to do the same thing.
26. All right. It’s takes both the latter and the former rain to
quicken the wheat and the tares. So, we see how and why Bro. Branham
preached ‘The Anointed Ones at the End Time’, from which I’m going
to take my text when I do start preaching. And it is from this Message
I get my sermon this morning, when I speak on, ‘The Word of the Hour
Coming to Life’, or fulfillment or manifestation, or actually the
quickening, or responding to the harvest. So let’s respond to the
harvest in the Book of Revelation, chapter 19: 7-9. Now this for us.
[Bro. Vayle mentions Bro. Brooks for a few moments]
(7) Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him, for the
marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself
ready.
(8) And to her was granted that she should be arrayed...
Oh my, beautifully. I like to see the women come out Easter morning
honoring His Resurrection in new dresses even nice jewelry. Bro. Branham
said, “There fine, as long as you don’t look like you’ve had a
magnet on when you walked through a ten-cent store.” And he said,
“You men ought to dress nice. And if you dress nice for anybody, you
dress nice for the Lord.”
Oh, she was beautiful and the Bible said , “She was pretty within,
and without.” What do you think when Isaac saw Rebekah. Man those
Jews... she was so pretty, alabaster skin like, you know. The incense of
perfume, [Bro. Vayle drawing in air through the nose ] umm... didn’t
smell like a camel at all. [Congregational laughter] He said, “Oh my,
I use to think a lot about women, but wow, I never knew there was one
like this.” Now, you don’t think that’s true? I got news for you,
that is true. That’s true she was beautiful.
(8) ... (and) the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
(9) And he said, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the
marriage supper of the Lamb. And he said... These are the true
sayings of God.
This is a marriage supper in 19th chapter. Now, let’s look at 17 and
19.
(17) And I saw an angel standing in the sun: and (he said, “Hey
there’s a big supper going to on.” Yep!)
There’s a supper here that’s going to (rival or to, not rival, but
it’s going to) be in contra- distinction to the Wedding Supper. So he
said to the fowls that fly in the midst of the heavens, (that the air up
here, the middle heavens,) “Come and gather yourselves unto the great
supper of the great God, and you can eat the carrion.” You can eat
what’s left of this cosmos, and this perverted zoe. You can have it.
This is yours.
27. Now, I hope you understand a little bit now about ‘Quickening
Power’. You understand? You understand what’s going on? All right.
That’s lovely.
