The Day of the Master # 1

 

Bro. Lee Vayle   -    June 5, 1983

	Father, we know that those words were said a long time ago in Bethany
after Lazarus had died that if You were here he wouldn't had died.
That's right. Now that You are here he'll come back, and we know that's
this hour there's no doubt about it. That there are those who are not
going to die now that You're here, and there are those who now that
You're here will come up out of the graves. And we're very glad that we
know this to be true, because all Your Word is true. And there comes a
time when it's just not true, but truth is reality, and it's no longer a
prophecy, but it's that Word come into manifestation. And we're already
into part of it, and people don't even recognize it, and we know that
that's wonderful, that's that real secret coming that people haven't
recognized, though it wasn't so secret, because It was manifested. And
It was turned down and now the Light has become darkness, and we know
that is what really happened.

	But, unto us, there's Light in Goshen preparatory for the exit brought
about by that great spiritual death. Satan's got to come down, man's got
to be totally deceived in his total depravity; and we'll be out of here
ready to come back to take over.

	God, we thank You for that. And we're privileged people to be amongst
those who have become privy to the great secrets of God. Like You said
concerning Abraham, "Abraham's My friend and I won't withhold from him
the thing that I'm about to do." [Gen 18:17] And we're friends of God.

	Today now, we know what You're doing and about to do. So we commend
ourselves  to You, Lord, to the solemnity of the hour, the constant and
looking at what is going on that we might be not just familiar with it,
but knows we're known in this hour. We were known way back there to be
those who would be conformed to the image; and now we know that as we're
known. That we are those that are be conformed to the image, and just
waiting for the last little bit of dove-tailing Scripture. Where we're
very privileged therefore we cannot love Thee enough, and cannot praise
Thee enough, but, we just pray You'll accept this now.

	May the sweet flowing Spirit of God move upon us, making our hearts one
in Him Who is that Great One, in Jesus' Name we pray. Amen. You may be
seated.

1.	You noticed that song that was sung was very good little song. It
talked about a unity, and I'm glad that they recognized that creeds and
dogmas' got to go, but I'm always a little fearful that most people (you
know) they always talk about that oneness that they have, because they
come around Jesus. They don't know that they better qualify that
statement of being one with Him. He said, "As I am one with the Father,"
and He was the Word. And we're not talking now simply in terms of
something, a written book, we're talking about a reality. We must always
look at that.

2.	Now, I want to speak on 'The Day of the Master'. The day of the
Master, and the word 'master' is really lord, or the word 'lord' is
really master. And it's also husband, so we're going to be looking at
this little subject in the light of the hour in which we live as a
certain day, that brings into pre-eminence and the dealing of God with
us. And we dealing with God on the same basis.

	Now, that's where people don't understand Bro. Branham, and I don't say
we do all that much either. But, don't understand the Word that he
brought that this Elohim that becomes, is becoming to us and He deals
with us on that basis. And then we don't turn around and deal with Him
on another basis. It's like the husband brings home (you know) a
pot-roast for supper and he wants to have it surrounded (you know) with
the vegetables. And his wife says, "Well," (fap) she says, "meat is
meat."  And so she runs it through the meat grinder and makes hash.

3.	Now look, that's the way people treat God and the things of God. You
see, the Scripture is laid out and if He's this at this point, then you
deal with Him what he is at that point. Then if He's in the role of
something else, then you deal with Him in that role, like Bro. Branham
carefully brought out. And he understood very well that back in the days
of Shakespeare they had no female actresses, they were all male actors.
And of course they would have to pick (you know) a male who would take a
part of a woman. He's have to be (you know) perhaps a little higher
voice, and maybe be not so heavily structured as to being so muscular
and all. So, they might pick a little teenager (you know) like in Europe
today.  They have these all male choirs, they're boys who's voices
haven't changed yet. The Austrian choirs the most famous one, and they
are very popular.

	Well, all right, you go to this play (you see) and you have perhaps
someone that's not that's even pre-teen and playing a part. Well, what
if that person had the mask on to come out and to play the page of the
king and decided he'd like to be a swordsman? One of the knights? Well,
you know how that would fall flat. Well, that he would not only play the
part, but nobody could respond to that lack of character, because a
little page is going to carry (you know) something to the queen on a
cushion or something; it's not a knight dressed in armor.

 	So, you see what I'm talking about. You have to know the role, the
attributes and all that are in the role, what is being brought to our
attention for what reason, and our response. Now, these are things (you
see) that I believe they're Bro. Branham's said, "All the time looking
back and say, hallelujah, what a great day," and they understand it
fairly well. Then they look way down the road and they say, "What a
great day is coming," and they understand it fairly well, but they don't
know what's going on. Now see, this is why we're into the subjects the
way we are, and have been for the last two years.

4.	Now, all right with that in mind we're going to go to Revelation
1:10, and 12-18. And John says here:

		(10) 	I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a
great 						voice, as of a trumpet,

		(12) 	And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being
turned, 					I saw seven golden candlesticks;

		(13) 	And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son
of 						man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about
the paps 					with a golden girdle.

		(14) 	(And) His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as
snow; 					and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

		(15) 	And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a
furnace; and 					his voice as the sound of many waters.

	Now, see, right off the bat here I want you to notice that this isn't
tricky, nor is it a simply beautiful little dissertation, (you know)
like… look, let's face it, we are too poetical at the wrong time. We
are too fanciful at the wrong time. We are not pragmatic enough at the
right time.

	Now, look it, what is being done here is an unfolding of attributes and
roles within the person. See, what you're looking at. All these things
means something, like he said, his seven-fold glory; the garments, the
girdle, the head, the hair, the color, the eyes, the feet, the voice.

		(16)	 …he had in his right hand seven stars: out of his mouth went a
sharp 					twoedged sword: …countenance was as the sun (shining) in
strength.

	Everything that is in there is pertinent to what John saw at that hour,
and for that hour. See? And Bro. Branham tried to bring a lot of it to
us. Not only in Patmos vision, but just time after time.

		(17) 	And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his
right 					hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and
the last:

		(18) 	I am he that liveth, and was dead; behold, I am alive for
evermore, 						Amen; and have the keys of hell and death.

	Now, you know this is back to the incarnation. You got to automatically
know that. See? So, as you seen here, you've seen this building to it.
And there's a certain role, and roles that are involved in this.

5.	Now, you might notice in verse 10, where It says: "I was in the
Spirit…" and trace that back to the margin and you'll see there the
change of the word, "I was in the Spirit" to I "became in the Spirit."
So, it wasn't, I was in the Spirit, I became in the Spirit. John is
catching the picture as we know Elohim becoming. And notice at this time
it's a process of becoming.

	And people don't even know when the say they believe this Message, that
under the Shout you're becoming. So, a Bro. Branham came with the Word.
Hallelujah, he's going to come back with the Word. I don't doubt that
he'll come back with the Word. But, you'll notice that there's something
in here shows a progression, "I was becoming." See?

	In other words, what Elohim says concerning Himself. The Great One Who
becomes. We, the Bride has been in a process of becoming from the
embryonic idea to the full manifestation of a purpose, yeah! A lot of us
transpired, and for the Old Testament Bride it's ended in a Resurrection
which is already completed, and there are immortal people standing
somewhere, though we can't see them.

6.	Now, you got the same thing happening now, it's been through Seven
Church Ages, we're coming to the very end-time. And there's going to be
a becoming into immortality. And people look around…listen, I'm
telling you what's happening. If nobody else will tell it, I'll lift my
voice and scream it. I don't care what anybody says! I'm not interested
in what anybody says! I care less than nothing what anybody says! We've
had a prophet that told us our cells are forming around the Word. When?
Always looking forward, always looking back, say, "Well, hallelujah,
nothing  going on."

	Now, you wonder why I'm nervous and why I'm angry. Yeah, I get sore as
a boil about these things, because these men know better. And they're
not teaching their people anything but building little cruddy kingdoms.

	Now listen, I don't use psychology here, get this flat: now Bro. Evans
one day is going to get very disgusted and I keep saying about burning
this building down. But, I think he know what I'm trying to tell you.
This building means nothing, and our fellowship means nothing. We are
not here as Bro. Branham said,  “For a nice time and joyful time and
fellowship.” We are here for instruction. And if that ever goes by the
board, forget it! You have to be…well, I don't know what I would say.
What you'd have to be to not understand what I'm trying to say here.

	Now, he said, "John became in the Spirit." As a more literal
translation puts It, he said, "I became (John speaking) I became in the
Spirit."

7. 	Now,  this absolutely signifies concerning John himself, that a
change took place in the realm of the Spirit. Now, let's find out, 1
Corinthians 2: (and I'm going to take my time and quit likely before
five pages is up, and we'll go on next Sunday to the next two or three,
whatever it is. I just don't care. When I feel like quitting I'm going
to quit, (all right) which doesn't mean I want to be here too long.)
Okay, watch verse 10.

		(10) 	But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit
						searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

	Now, he tells you, the Spirit of God that is available to certain
people, the category of Paul and of John. Not you and me, is able to
reach way, way, way, way out. Way, way, way back. Way, way up and way,
way down. See? Searching the deep things of God. Now:

		(11) 	For what man (knows) the things of a man, save the spirit of man
						(that's) in him? even so the things of God (knows) no man, but the
						Spirit of God.

	Now, John is telling you, "I left the spirit of man that can deal with
hey I'm hungry. Hey, that fellow needs help. Hey, beautiful view,
beautiful sunrise, beautiful sunset. And the things which are when…
look, men like Edison and inventors. "Hey, I'm going to tap my brain,
going to tap my …" [said arrogantly] Oh, you stupid jerk, your brain
in nothing, it's your spirit. You tap your spirit. And something begins
to move out and something begins to form. And you're tapping out there a
spirit. Not the spirit of God per se, but, what lies out there that your
spirit as a human spirit can contact, and suddenly you know something,
you begin moving in a realm. 

	And John says, "I left that, and I became into the Spirit of God, and
when I did it begin to open up. And begin seeing the moving of God. It
didn't matter to me about the spirit of man anymore." 

8.	We're to the place and I'm glad we're getting there, and it's not old
age, because I don't feel that old. Although today and last night,
forget it. I feel like I got older than Methuselah even felt like just
before he zzzzz! sighed his last breath. But, that's alright. When I get
up here I feel good.

	But, you see, you get beyond, you get way out there in the realm of the
Spirit of God, and your own spirit is you're not aware anymore. Oh sure,
I can see out here and I can feel out here, somebody took a hot poker I
might jump very desperately away from it, or something like that. But,
those things are inconsequential, and so it is that at this hour
everything is inconsequential, but what is placed before us in this
hour, and at this time for a certain purpose. See? That's why Bro.
Branham said, "Let your mind go." You got to let your mind go. You got
to let your spirit go. You make a complete disconnection, and a disunion
from what is here.

	Now, this man being a prophet could go right into a trance. We don't
have to go into a trance. You don't have to go in a dream. That's
Pentecostal stuff. That's sensational. You don't have…need a trance.
You don't need gifts, you don't need this, you don't need the other
thing. You just need in this hour is 'let your thinking go'. That's all.
Let it go. Stop stereotyping God. Now God can be stereotyped in so far
as certain things are said. But God cannot be stereotyped. How can you
stereotype a God that says, "You cannot be Bride unless you're full of
the Holy Ghost, and you cannot be full of the Holy Ghost unless you
absolutely you repent and are baptized in water and go the route." And
here's John the Baptist in his mother's womb full of the Holy Ghost.
Forget it, don't stereotype God. Let your mind go. Just let it go. And
the more you let it go, the more it's easier on you.

9.	Now, John just let himself go, and he became. In other words,
progressively got deeper and deeper right out there and the Holy Spirit
looked down at this very hour, and He saw this thing here. So, signifies
a change of the spiritual experience away from the spirit of man into
the realm of revelation by the Spirit of God.

	Now, I've had just a tiny bit of that. I don't like to bore you with
it, but the fact is that if I sort of talk about it, it maybe helps me
and helps you too. And something within me becomes…I suddenly become
like I'm aware of something. And when I'm aware of something, I'm not
aware of out here, because that's not what interests me. And if a bee
stung me, perhaps I would (you know) I would have a problem. Understand
what I'm talking about. See? You could get a shock and be pulled away.
But, normally speaking prophets were not out there with your feet in
cast ironed boots that were going to be made hot, neither they sitting
on spikes. They were out there like in a relaxed mood. Like Bro. Branham
says, he said a word like two and two are four. Two and two are four,
two and two are four. Two and two are four, and it suddenly begins to
break.

	And I don't have any two and two are fours. I don't have parables. Bro.
Branham had a parable. Now, it's right on tape. He tells you that. He
wouldn't tell you the words. He wouldn't tell me words, and where nobody
knows, he took them with him. That's great. I'm not the least unhappy he
took his words with him.

10.	But, there is a place of awareness. And when you're in that place of
awareness, these other things just what does it matter? And you can be
cognizant of something going on, but it doesn't matter, because there's
an awareness on the inside that begins to deal with you. And it comes
just like a voice, but it's not a voice. It's no more voice than
nothing. It's a tremendous indelible impression that spells out words.
And those words make you to know things. And the minute that you know
that one thing, as in my case would be in your case that's all. From
that time on you got to go to the Word, and you sit before the Word and
the Lord. And the Lord is the Word, and the Lord in the Word, and the
Word in the Lord, and that in you.

	And you sit there and you begin to think, and there's nothing out there
anymore, because it have to do with what He's telling you. Now, this is
where John was as a prophet. He was right in there where's there's
nothing a man entering any longer. There's nothing of the human mind
entering longer. This is a revelation. I came to be in spirit to the
Lord's Day.

 	Now notice, he's moving even in a time element. Now look, we don't
move out in time elements, that's a prophet. We move in a time element
of what a prophet gave us for this time, you see. I'm always back to
telling you, don't you look back and don't you look forward , get your
nose glued on what is in front of you. 

11.	Like I told you the other night; got a phone call where somebody
said to me, "Well, Bro. Vayle, what signs do you see coming in that you
know?"

	I said, "Well, I don't see any signs coming in, the signs are already
in." Why, I said… 

	He told me, "Don't look at the world church. Don't look out here."

	And I'm telling you what he told me for your good. So, don't do it.
Because it's not going to do you any good, because it doesn't do me any
good. No good at all, it hurts you.

	So, I said, "Well, I'm not interested anymore of what's out there,
although I do admit I look out there the odd time, but I shouldn't do
it."

	But, what it is…he said, "Now you just see what's for the Bride."

	Now, he wouldn't tell me to see what's for the Bride if I wasn't part
of the Bride. Shaah come on, let's face it. Well, people says, "You know
that that thing then that deals with you, how do you know?" I don't know
anything, but, by faith. You see, I just believe the Word, that's all.
If that doesn't work, ain't nothing going to work.

	Now,  say, "Maybe someone's got enough on the ball to make the Word
work." Sure, that's God, but you're not God.

 	Remember, one fellow [Uzzah] one time tried to make a thing work, with
the ark was there and he got killed for his pain. [2 Sam 6:7] And you
know where it went right back to? According to Bro. Branham, it went
right back to the king who didn't bring a prophet, when he should have
brought a prophet to know.

12.	Okay, He came to be in the Spirit to the Lord's Day. John
transported all the way over to the Day of the Lord which was roughly
two thousand years later. This makes this a Book of prophesy. That's why
when It's opened, It says, "Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this
Book for the time is here."

	Now, if people believe that the Seals were broken, you better be seeing
them right here. And you better be seeing everything in this Book that's
pertinent to us. And if you're not, there's something wrong with your
vision. It's either clouded by the veils of creeds and dogmas, too much
wax on the ear drum, you can't hear, it's gotten cold, or too thick lip,
and too thin an ear, because there's too much talk and not enough
listening. That's one of the sad things. There's got to be talk, but
there better be talk from listening. Something is wrong somewhere.

 	Now then, John heard the same Voice in verse 10, that he heard in
verse 8. Now, that's interesting that we should know that. [Revelation
1:]

		(10) 	I was in the Spirit …and heard behind me a great voice, as a
trumpet,

	All right, verse 8 says:

		(8) 	I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the (end), saith the
Lord, 					which is, and which was, which is to come, the Almighty.

	Now, notice what He said in verse 8. That's the same one that he heard
behind him in verse 10, because the Voice said the same thing. "I'm
Alpha and Omega, the first and the last." 

13.	Now, He's telling you something here: John was the one who said, "In
the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was
God," [Jn 1:1] then in the end it's the same One Who was the Word with
God, and the Word is God. (Huh? Huh? Huh?) You get it? Then where are
you standing brother/sister? Right back to where it was in John. Now, we
don't need twelve apostles and a bunch of prophets. It's been told,
Omega. The Omega of John 1:1-3.   

		(1) 	In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and 			
		the Word was God.

		(3) 	All things were made by him; (there's nothing made that (wasn't) 
					made (by him.)

		(4) 	In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

	And Bro. Branham stood right there one day, and though his words were
garbled, he said, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
Elohim." 

	And then instead of saying, "The Word was Elohim," he said, "And Elohim
was the Word." Which is true. He would have said, "In the beginning was
the Word and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim." And he
said, "This is that hour of the destruction of Sodom when Elohim stood
before Abraham." As a friend He let him see Him, and He appeared as a
man. Son of man. He saw like a man.   

	"Oh," they say, "Bro. Branham meant that was he." Was it? Go in any
direction you want. I don't care which direction you go. 

	I look at the salient factors of truth and that was Elohim was there,
and He said, "I'm a friend of Abraham and Abraham is a friend of Mine
and I know that he is going to bring his family up right." He said, "I
know that he's a man that deals right with the Word." In other words,
he's a man that's right, and I'm going to tell him what's going on." And
in that hour came the destruction.

14.	All right, John heard the same Voice of verse 10 that was in verse
8. It was the Voice of Alpha and Omega. The Alpha spoke back there
telling him that I am the Omega. Now notice: Alpha and Omega is in the
Book of Revelation, and to my knowledge I don't know that it's in any
place else. (Where's my concordance?) Ah good, I'll just find out for
you. This is Strongs. You know what they say: they say, "Crude for the
crude, [Cruden's concordance] Young for the young, [Young's concordance]
and Strong for the strong."

	Okay, we're strong this morning. Let me find alpha. This would be
interesting if I can find any alpha here that want to be. (You say, "You
should have looked up ahead of time. I didn't think      ahead of time,
only thought of it now.) [Bro. Vayle searches] Alpha, Rev 1:8 and 11.
Rev 21:6, Rev 22:13, no place else in the Bible.

	So, he says here: this same Alpha that was unveiled is now going to be
Omega, Who will also be unveiled. And at the same time the prophet
taught us the same as John the veil is what unveils. God hidden, and
revealed by what He's hidden in. And I got that over in Luke and I
showed you one time the literal translation, that It doesn't say there
is nothing hidden which shall not be revealed. But It says, "There is
nothing hidden, but which has been for the purpose of being revealed." 
[Lk 8:17] 

	Every parable, every mystery is opened at the end-time. And there
stands the same One that they crucified, because they couldn't take Him
because of His Word. And Bro. Branham came on the scene with the
identical parallel ministry of Jesus Christ when He was here in the
flesh and said, "He will do the same things now, He did there if He's
the same One." 

	And they said, "Yes, yes, yes, isn't wonderful, we'll do the same
things too. Hallelujah." They walked right off the scene. And you know
what happened? Jesus began preaching, that's when they killed him. And
when William Branham began preaching the truth, that's when he died. And
when you and I begin preaching the truth, and seeing the truth that's
when we begin to die, and the Life of God begins to take over. Until
you've got that Word, you're dead. I don't care what anybody says.

15.	Look, I'm tired with all the hogwash. Brother/sister, listen, that's
either take this Book and believe It, or throw It in the garbage.
Because, Jesus Christ died upon Calvary. He died as I said last night,
remission of sin. He shed his Blood, he was ripped into three parts, and
cast to the dogs as sit were. His Blood atoned, His flesh atoned, It
ought atoned. But, It says, "This is the condemnation that Light has
come into the world," [Jn 3:19a] in spite of the fact of the Blood. In
spite of fact of the bodies. In spite of the fact of the Resurrection.
In spite of the fact of everything in redemption. You're dead without
Light, because It says so! And why don't they begin to believe it? See?
I preach hard to you, I'm sorry. (If you want to go home, you go home.
Sit here, sit. It's your choice, I'm not being mean.) But, I'm a mean
preacher on tape, I've got to be. Because I'm not going to sell my soul
out to hell, because Jesus died in vain without Light. And if God had of
closed the door after his death, no Light, it would not have atoned.

	This is the condemnation in spite of the fact that Jesus died so there
wouldn't be any condemnation. Believing then is not in the fact that he
died and rose again, that is the precept upon what you believe what was
done. Now, you believe about it, and what is going on now. And he said,
"There's still condemnation because He sent Light and they turned down
the Light." And that's exactly what happened to Jesus. 

	He came, He was the Light of men, He was the Life of men, and when He
began to teach they said, "kill him." And when William Branham stood
there, the same way "they crucified to themselves the Son of God
afresh."  [Heb 6:6] Now, this world is going to end in darkness and
death brother/sister. See? And we're looking at the Judge. We're getting
to it.

16.	Now, He's Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. And you don't
see It anywhere except in Revelation. So the Book of Revelation is a
Book of ending which parallels the beginning, which brings a beginning
and the end together, so what do you care about the middle? Always
looking back. "Oh, this great movement. Look at the great movement. Oh,
look at the great saint Francis of Assisi."

	Now, the Catholic church had saint Francis, wonderful, wonderful. It
also had these other men, wonderful, wonderful. And they had this lovely
sister, wonderful, wonderful. And they had this Madame Guyon in France,
wonderful, wonderful. And they had Evan Roberts, wonderful, wonderful.
Why, who gives a rip?

	I tell you, you say, "Bro. Vayle, you're…"

	Don't Bro. Vayle me. I've got a prophet who said, "It doesn't matter
what happened in the middle, it's what is at the beginning and the end."


	And we're at the end. I listened to Madame Guyon, she was wrong. Oh,
she'll make it, I believe she's full of the Holy Ghost. But she'll never
get immortality the way we're going to get it. Now, Luther had truth,
but he was still wrong in certain places. Wesley had truth, he was wrong
in certain places. Pentecost came, and they're dead. William Branham
came…now what about him? 

	"Oh," they say, "don't give me that." Well fine, I'm not going to give
it to you. Forget it! But, I'll be happy to take your share. [laughter]
The Bible said, "Let no man take thy crown." [Rev 3:11b] It's alright by
me, I'm not going to fuss at anybody. I've always loved sweet things,
and this is sweet to me. I could just scream right now, but there ain't
no use screaming, because you might not scream with me, or you'd start
to run away you get too excited.

17.	All right listen: [raps on the pulpit] The end of it, this is the
end-time. There's the end-time, and there's got to be everything in here
[taps on the Bible] that was in the beginning. In other words, my
brother/sister, go back to the Gospels and you will see it all. The
Gospels have become tremendous Books in this hour, because this is a
continuation of the very One Who was here, but He is here in Spirit.   

	Now, let's watch at this: Revelation 1:1-3.

		(1) 	The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew 
					unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he
sent 					and signified it by his (messenger) unto his servant John:

		(2) 	Who bare record of the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus
Christ, 					and of all things that he saw.

		(3) 	Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this
prophecy, 					and keep those things written therein: the time is at
hand.

18.	All right, this is the prophet. [Revelation] 1:8.

		(8) 	I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the (end), saith the 				
	Lord, which is, and which was, and is to come…(prophet)						
(because, the prophet tells what was, he tells what's wrong, and 					
tells what's coming. Prophet.)

	Okay, verse 10;

		(10) 	I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day… (I became in the Spirit
to the 					Lord's day.) 

	Right down there at the end of the Church Ages. See? He will uncover
when that happens what went at the beginning, what went on in the
middle, and what's here. And He will tell you watch the begging and
watch the end, if it matches, it's over. And it will match.

	"You say, "I wish I was back in that First Church Age." You are honey,
and a whole lot further. [laughter] See, always looking back and wonder,
"Oh, I wish I would…oh I wish…"

	Well, I don't wish at all. Thank God I wasn't there. I used to be very
discouraged as to want and say, "Oh, would be nice in that Sixth Church
Age, "and I'd have this sweet love everybody, what's looove, looove…"
[extends the word love] Oh, merciful God. What love do you mean?

	Now, if you talk about the love of God, I'll be happy for you. But,
come on, I'm hopefully out of the spirit of man into the Spirit of God
when I talk about love. Hopefully, I don't know that I am honey. [Bro.
Vayle chuckles] I don't know that I am, only wish I could say I was.
It'd be so encouraging for you folk, you'd say, "We'll just go and see
Bro. Vayle every day." You'd be so nice, you don't bank on it.
[laughter] No, listen, I used to think the Sixth Age was the age to be
in. Forget it!

19.	Do you know…how would you like to have a 1983 leg, back in 1904.
You wouldn't have a leg would you? Would you like that? Then you
wouldn't like being back in the other Age. You just think you would.

	In other words, you are a Seventh Church Age Bride member. The food
they had back there would kill you. It's got wiggle-tails. The life has
gone out of it, you would never make the Rapture. (Uh?) Always
murmuring, which means repining. (See?) Oh my, it's time to eat the
bread of quietness brother/sister. Thank God we're in this hour.

	Now listen, we saw the prophet. We saw the prophet. Now verse 10. 

		(10) 	I was in the Spirit…(becoming in the Spirit, became in the
Spirit) 						the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great…trumpet,

		(11) 	Saying, (I'm) Alpha and Omega…  

		(12) 	And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being
turned, 					I saw seven golden candlesticks; (and then he describes
exactly who 					he saw.)

	Now listen, prophet, prophet, judge. Right. Prophet, prophet, judge.
Those three phases. Two of a prophet, one a Judge. Now notice, the voice
of the prophet is the same Voice as the Voice of the Judge. Do you get
it? Now listen again: the revelation of Jesus Christ, God gave called it
a prophecy. Verse 8, the Voice said, "I'm Alpha and Omega, the beginning
and the end, which was, and is to come." Prophet.

20.	All right, "I heard a Voice behind me saying, 'I am Alpha and
Omega'." Now, the prophetic Voice is going right to the end. And the
prophetic Voice takes him to a Judge, and It's the same Voice. In other
words, (now listen) a man explaining the law does not have the same
voice that a man has when he gives a verdict concerning the law. Now, do
you follow what I'm saying? It's nowhere near the same voice. You don't
speak the same way. When you are explaining something you simply lay it
out. Now, you can also confirm it, and when you confirm it the voice
takes on greater authority, and decision becomes a required earmark at
that moment. And the minute the decision is necessary, it is a different
voice again. But, it's the same voice. You follow what I'm saying? There
is a difference in the tone, the urgency, the eminency, the whole thing.
Same Voice.

	Now, is the Word of God getting realer and realer to you? If It isn't
brother/sister, I'm sorry for you. See, this is what I say about the
Presence. This is the thing that doesn't bug me, but I watch so closely
and I try not to over step myself to get anybody to think things of me
that are not so, because I don't stand here as any 'superman', I'm as
fallible as anybody. I would might have to go back and correct a lot of
things I say before it's all over. But, there's something in me that
makes me feel that I know whether I know or not that when people preach
on the Presence of God there is something in the manner in the voice
that is different; or it doesn't click. Because the same voice that was
the prophet is the same Voice stepped up in the Judge. There's no
difference. But, the prophet said, "Those eyes of compassion will turn
to fire." Same eyes.

21.	The Voice of the many waters will thunder in judgment, same Voice.
The feet that were there bringing peace are the same ones that bring
judgment. Same feet, same One, but a different role. And so therefore,
the little page-boy that is bearing on the cushion the little things
that the queen wants. He's not a little page-boy over here now. He's
left his job. He's grown up and he's knighted in full armor and he's out
there slashing. Follow me? But it's the same One. John looked down to
this end, then he saw it.

	Now, notice then the voice of the prophet is the same Voice as the
Voice of the Judge. The Voice of both prophet and Judge is one. And John
wasn't a judge. I'm going to tell you something: the minute that any
prophet stood there when the decision had to come forth he was judge.
[raps on the pulpit]  Why? Because, the Word of the prophet and God is
one when it comes to giving It, explaining It, interpreting It, dividing
It, and then making a decision on It.

	How many people today believe that William Branham was the Voice of
God? That William Branham's word and God's Word was one. That what
William Branham said under the anointing was absolutely what God said.
And what he said cannot be changed anymore than God can be changed. And
we had at the beginning and now we have at the end the same irrevocable
premise.

22.	Oh, they get so frightened that Bro. Branham could have made a
mistake. Well, certainly he could, but he didn't. Look, you got to come
to the place sometime brother where we get up there, or we're not going
to make it	

	The woman fell by virtue of the fact she was no longer a virgin. Now,
she's going to get back to being a virgin, she's got to get back to the
place where the bullet went off track, and in the beginning the bullet
wasn't off track. Billy Graham admits we haven't had a return to the
Word, but he acts as though he has the right to preach it as though he
did. That's his business. I'm not Billy Graham, I'm not going to stand
in his way. He doesn't stand in my way, so I certainly wouldn't stand in
his way.

23.	Revelation 1:4-7.

		(4) 	John to the seven churches which (be) in Asia: Grace be unto you,
						and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come;
					and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; 

	That tells you, Seven Church Ages, seven measures of Word, seven
spirits of seven measures spirits of Almighty God. Seven is perfection.
You say, "then it's all there." No, it's all finished. The perfection
means 'conclusion'. This is the hour of perfection.

	Well, if somebody read perfection the way the be perfection, then it
means then there's nothing left, and God must have died Himself. Do you
know God is just getting things in shape? How nice, after all these
years. How nice, getting things in shape.

		(5) 	And from (Jesus)..., who is the faithful witness…

	Now, It says, there's two there. There's One on the Throne, and there's
One behind the Throne. Yet, people say Jesus Christ is God. How can He
be? And yet He is. You say, "How is He?" I'll explain sometime when I go
into it. Show you how He's His Own High Priest. How He's His Own
Mediator. How He's His Own sacrifice. How He was everything. How He
says, "I'm all of It.” And He is. I'll show you how to the best of my
knowledge. I won't make a very good job, because look, what do you take
me for? I'm neither a prophet, nor much of anything else. And what I am,
I'm desperately lazy.  

		(5) 	And Jesus…the faithful witness; the first begotten (from
amongst) 						the dead, the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him
that loved us, 					and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

24.	Now, there's salutations coming from both. And then over here He's
one. See? You can worship Jesus as God. Because God is an object of
worship. They took Him by feet and said, "My Lord and my God." 

	He didn't kick them away and say, "Hey, don't do that."

	But one day they said, "Good master…"

	"Why do you call me good? There's none good but God. [Mk 10:18] Are you
calling me God? What do you see in me?" That stumped them. It wasn't
sarcasm either, it was just a very good answer. He wanted to read their
hearts.

		(5)	…Unto him that loved us…

		(6) 	And... made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; (see? 	
				unto) him be glory and dominion for ever…  

		(7) 	Behold, he (comes) with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and 
					they (that) pierced him: (the) kindreds of the earth shall wail
because 					of him…

	Now, when is that going to be? That's not until after the…(what do
you call it?) Great Tribulation as far as I can figure that one.

25.	All right, so we look here: these verses in Revelation
1:4-7…[portion missing] Did you catch it? Hath given Him authority to
put into effect the judgment which has been given by the Judge. (See?)
Because, He is Son of man, so 4-7 gives way to John 5:27, and
desperately (and I use this word 'desperately' with the understanding
the finality of doom.) 

	Revelation 19:11, 

		(11) 	And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that
sat 					upon him was called Faithful and True, (not like the Son of man
now, 					Faithful and True) and in righteousness he judge and make war.

		(12) 	…eyes as a flame of fire, (the white hair of the Judge has
given way 					to head of the King, he's got) crowns; (on him) and he
had a name…					that no man knew…  

		(13)	…vesture dipped in blood…  

		(14) 	…the armies (follow) him…(and He's on a tour of death,
executing His 					judgment. See?)  

	Lamb or priest, to judge, to king. But, hold it, over here he's
prophet. Prophet, Judge to King. See?

	Now listen, there can never be any decisions, or verdicts unless there
is a Word to go by. No course or plan of action is right or wrong,
unless a previous Word, or standard has already been put in motion, or
enunciated.  No decision or declaration of an allotment, or meting out
of merit, or disfavor, reward or punishment can be proffered, or
extended without a former Word basis. And that basis a truly revealed
Word. A standard, a plumb line, a guide, a rule, even unto principles
and method which are known as precepts and examples. And remember, the
precept is in the Word and the examples are all ready written, so we
know and have seen demonstrated the very Word of God before our eyes.
Therefore, we have a perfect standard for judgment. Right? (Uh?)   

26.	"If I had not done the works that no other man did, they had not
sinned. But, now they both seen and hated both me and my Father." [Jn
15:24] He laid it on the line and He gave a judgment. And the answer is:
they hate me.

	Now, people say, "Now, just a minute, that ministry of Bro. Branham we
love." Why that voice said Tommy Osborn…I don't want…I'm not against
Tommy Osborn, forget it, but he's the guy that said it. I'm going to
quote him. And he said, "The voice said to me that's the way they did it
in the Bible, you can do it." And that's all he got out of it.

	And as I sat there, something inside of me said, "If you ever listen to
any man, this is the man to listen to."

	Well, you say, "You're not Tommy Osborn." That's right, thank God I'm
not Tommy Osborn. Not trying to denigrate him, but I'm glad I'm not,
because he's a Trinitarian. We got a fight on our hands right there,
he's got three gods to do things. I've got one God is going to do it
all. And it's very strange that Bro. Branham's one God to do what there
three gods couldn't. [laughter] That's true, I'm not kidding, and I
don't mean that for a joke, but it's actually the fact, I want to see
them, when did they have 'Thus Saith the Lord'? 

 In fact, I happened to know that a certain man and we happened to be
speaking about him, wrote a book and it's about what happened in Cuba
when he went down there. And he puts in his book as though the great
miracle happened under him when it happened under his partner. Looks
like three gods don't make you tell you the truth anymore than one God
does. Or, that's chicanery in my books, that's a little bit deceit.
We've all used it, so we're happy to forgive, that we might be forgiven
also. But, come on, it's not right.

27.	 I've often told you folk, look, there's no such thing as a man full
of the Holy Ghost that tells out-right lies. Hand in the cookie jar,
sure. But I want to tell you something: God doesn't even like a hand in
the cookie jar. Because, Bro. Branham was pressed beyond measure when he
slipped outside and said, "Tell him I'm outside." He was outside, but he
wasn't outside of call, and getting the telephone. Hand in the cookie
jar. And God said, "No way." So, I want to clear the record on that one.

	As I say, "Look, I can forgive the hand in the cookie jar." God does
too. You pay for it. But, abject lying is a sign that you didn't have
the Holy Ghost in the first place. That's where it came from, Cain
brother, the devil. We Christians do not tell absolute perversions.
There's no way. I don't care how good it would make you look, or anybody
else. And remember, flattery is not sincere…well no… they say what,
"Imitation is a form of the sincerest type of flattery." Flattery is
never sincere, it's a lie. Exaggeration is a lie.

	A lady said to Mr. Moody, "Oh brother Moody, I've got such a time (she
said) with exaggeration." 

	He said, "Madam just call it lying, just call it lying." And he walked
on. [laughter] No, brother/sister, we don't have to extend ourselves to
say anything at all anymore, just stay with the Word, because there It
is. [points to the Pillar of Fire picture]

28.	Look, when we have this tremendous force right now in our midst and
for us, what in the world do we worry about anything else? What do we
worry about truth or lies anymore. Just tell the truth and go with the
truth. You're going to get there.

	You say, "Bro. Vayle, it looks shaky." Well, take a look at Abraham,
there's your example. How do you think he felt one minute before he was
changed? Worse than he ever felt, except for the glory ways in his soul.
And the inner man was being renewed, and the other man was being wasted.
I'll tell you…[gives loud whistle] one like that, there's he's
changed. Bless God.

	One day it's the same thing with you and me. Getting worse and worse.
(Don't feel bad there Alison, I can feel your back getting worse
(phfft!) forget it! One day you'll get it back like a saw-log.) Sure, I
got back troubles too. It wasn't my back troubles, it's what I did in
the past. [Bro. Vayle chuckles] They come up to haunt me. Okay, I just
have to tell the truth for everybody, to make you understand.

29.	 All right listen: no allotment, no decision, no declaration, no
meeting out of merit, or disfavor, reward or punishment can be
proffered, can be brought into effect until first of all there is an
active something which will call precept and example laid out before us
that says, "Listen, you can't miss this if you tried, this is what tells
you and that's going to judge you."

	That's why the Word of God distinctly says, "By your word you'll be
justified, and by your word you're condemned." [Mt 12:37] Because that's
exactly what the Word of God does. It justifies or condemns.  Sorry, but
that's it.

	Alpha is always the prophet. Omega is always the prophet turned judge.
God is always His Own Prophet. God is always His Own Judge. And listen,
God is also and always has been His Own Executor. (Uh-huh) The same One
of Revelation 1:12-16, is the identical One. Understand now, of
Revelation 5:1, and Revelation 10:7, and coming back in the incarnated
form Revelation 19:11. And He's been crowned King of kings, and Lord of
lords, the One that wasn't completely into His Kingship. The Judge is
here my brother, my sister. And as we are going from as it were, from
cell to cell, and portion to portion, spiritual to the physical, so He
is doing likewise, because we are in the image of God, and therefore
we'll follow the pattern of God, the One Who becomes. And we're
becoming, hallelujah. Yep, you believe that? You really believe it? 

	See, I get so disturbed at times, because I don't know who believes
anything anymore. And I got to stand up here like a fool and say, "Well,
look it, I believe it, and I wonder if anybody else believes it? Come
on, Bro. Branham said, "If you can believe it, anybody can believe it."
And that's the truth.

30.	All right, He always was, therefore, He always is Own, and was His
Own Executor. He said, "I'm coming down to see if the cries right what's
in my ears, (He said) that's why Sodom stinks." Homosexuality brought it
on, and homosexuality is bringing it on right now. The first thing He
says, "When the Bride is made up, without are dogs, male prostitutes."
And stinking America has women judges and women everything. 

	And they say, "Well, the homosexual's are." What for? To get a vote.
Let me tell you: you believe in homosexuality, you've give it one inch,
and you lost your vote with God. You're going to hell and you'll burn
with it. Smarten up, "such were some of you," the Scripture said. [1 Cor
6:11] But, you're not anymore, you're washed, you've been made clean.

	If a homosexual is all right, he wouldn't need that. But we need it too
of course. But the point is, God has condemned it utterly. And
homosexuality is a curse of this hour, it's a Sodom condition. It's a
Canaanite condition. He said, "Rid the land of the Canaanite's, the
homosexuals. Go and take it over." [Num 33:52] You know what homosexual
represent? These preachers and these people who are off the Word. Filth.
God always was His Own Executor.

	"Thus," He said, or, you can put it this way, (I've seen it in the Old
Testament,) "Has He not said, and shall He not bring it to pass." [Isa
46:11b] Prophet, Judge, Executor. Executioner if you want to call it
that. One who executes is own word.

31.	Now, let us never fool ourselves into the false hope that God will
ever satisfy anybody, or anything but His Own Word. Now listen, I'm
going to read it again. Let us never fool ourselves into the false hope
that Eve started with. And everybody has to (sort of) just somehow hope,
but we must never delude ourselves with the false hope that God will
ever satisfy anybody, or anything but His Own Word. 

	Now you see, well people say, "Bro. Vayle, what you got to do is go
behind the spirit of it." What do you think God is, if He's not Spirit?
A box car running down the track or something? Yeah, people want every
little gimmick in the book. "Oh, get me out of this. Oh see, I didn't
mean this, I didn't mean that."

	Fellow was out there working one day picking up sticks on the Sabbath,
and the  Word of the Lord was, "You shall not do one single solitary
thing on that day."

	So, he picked up the sticks and they said, "Well, isn't that all
right?" He wanted to the beans he didn't cook yesterday.

	So, they said, "Well, I really don't know the answer. There could be an
exception, but I don't know, [Bro. Vayle searches for the right wording]
put him in quarantine." 

	And waited next day, and the prophet goes to the Lord, and he said,
"Now Lord, here is the Word."

32.	And the same One that gave the Word was God, and God then turned
Judge, He said, "You  got to destroy the man." And then he [the prophet]
said, "Now, (he said) but now you got to stone him." He said, "because I
have told you what to do." But remember, he said, "This is something as
you as a people must do."

	And you say, "Well, look Bro. Vayle, I, I, just couldn't do it."

	Oh, who's going to come back with Him and destroy all the antichrist
and his bunch down here? "Well," you say, "that's us." Well, tell me how
are you going to do it, if you couldn't take…if you can't stand up and
be counted?

	"Oh, oh see, we're too nice to argue if necessary." Or too nice for
this or that. Look, I'm not trying to make us blood thirsty, I'm the
least blood thirsty person in the world, though I sound like the worse
one believe me. I don't even want to give a mosquito part of my blood.
I'm not interested in seeing my bloodshed, or anybody's bloodshed. It
makes me sick to see theirs, makes me sick to see mine, I'm not
interested. But, I'm going to tell you something, we're going to come
back and destroy with Him.

	You see, Paul was getting us trained for. He said, "Can't you judge in
the church?" He said, "Don't you know you'll judge saints?" And when you
judge, you'll have to pronounce a sentence. Because the prophet
distinctly said, he said, "What good is a law if there's no penalty?" 

	Why should we work if there's no wages? Why should we serve God if
there's no Resurrection? You say, "Well, Bro. Vayle, here's a beautiful
thing, you see, even if we don't have a resurrection." You see, you died
right there in my books, get out of here. You stopped short. I'm not
interested in you. You showed what you were, get out before I throw you
out. (Got arthritis, I can't do it this morning, wait till next week.)
[laughter]  

33.	You know what I'm doing, I'm not telling you these things as though
I'm going to do them. I'm telling you what my attitude is, because that
is my attitude, and that is the Word of God, because Paul said, "If we
do not have a resurrection, we are of all men most miserable." [1 Cor
15:19]

	"Oh but Paul, you're going to go to that lovely place over there, where
the people are with those beautiful little spirit bodies, and oh it's so
wonderful, and it's so beautiful."

	He says, "Shut up!" 

	That's intermediate, "I'm becoming and I'm not stopping in the process
of becoming 'till I become."

	"Well Paul, oh, oh, just couldn't be happy."

	He said. "If I stop there I'm of all men most miserable, because I've
got my sights on the Resurrection, and He told me so."

	You say, "What's so great about a resurrection?"

	Why don't you ask him. You're an unbeliever. I want to clear the house,
in five minutes and burn it down. I got to say these things, it keeps
you on your toes. You see, I'm not kidding brother/sister. 

34.	Listen, I know that that I'm not boasting, and neither am I kidding.
I'm trying to tell you something is happening in here. Has begun to
happen. I am not interested in anymore in these other things. I have got
to have what He said or FORGET IT! Because If I can't have that, I won't
have the other.

	When does a woman put her gloves and her hat and her veil on; she's
going to go to church and look real pretty, and her shoes after her
dress and all is on? When do men put their shoes on? If they're smart,
before they try to put their pants on, so they'll get their feet through
their pant legs. When do you put your raincoat on? On top when it's
raining. Oh, why don't you just go out in your shorts…men in the rain,
and go to church? 

	You say, "Oh, I wouldn't feel fully dressed."

	Neither will you feel dressed until you're in the Resurrection. (Haw!)
Oh, I could talk on that, but I get into attributes I'm not going to get
out of attributes. I'm going to let that go.

35.	All right, listen now: the Word of God, or 'Thus Saith the Lord'
cannot pass away, be put on a shelf, or in any way disregarded not one
jot, one tittle. All will be accounted for and fulfilled.

	And Abraham said, "Lord, (he said) I love that boy that I got by Hagar.
You know, look Lord,  I, know that maybe he's not really what we both
wanted, but he's such a cute little fellow." Snakes are pretty cute too
when they're tiny. I don't know if I'm going to really believe that or
not. [Bro. Vayle chuckles] …because the fear that I got of snakes and
their eggs...yuck!

	But you know, he said, "Now Lord, (he said) why don't we just let this
Ishmael live."

	He said, "That's not good enough, because that's what I said. We got to
have Isaac."

	"Yeah, but…" he said, even Sarah said that it was (you know) we ought
to do that."

	"Well," He said, "I don't care what Sarah said." See?

	Everybody's got the idea from the Garden up, that you can put things on
the shelf, but God says, "You cannot disregard one jot, or one tittle,
all will be accounted for and fulfilled." And that goes on both sides
which is the positive and the negative.

36.	Now remember, he told me and I'm telling you what he told me by
doubly deep impression, never mind the negative. Hit the positive!
Remember the old song said, "Accentuate the positive?" I want to tell
you something: the world's smarter. The Bible said the world's smarter
than the bunch of Saints are. He said, "You're a bunch of dumb do-do's
and boobs along side of those guys that their smarten up.

	He said, "Be wise as those serpents, but as harmless as doves". [Mt
10:16b] And we reversed it. We got it, "wise as doves and harmless as
serpents," the church did. Goes for both sides.

	Man does not want to believe that. Man has never wanted to believe
that. Always, it has been, "Oh God really doesn't mean that." And that
started way back there in the woman who types the church.

	Now remember, Adam was the son of God according to this plan down here
on earth. Not 'the' Son of God from the beginning. But, Adam was the son
of God. Bible said…let me see if that's right or not. I don't want to
misquote to you here. Did He say he was 'a' son of God, or did He say he
was 'the' son of God.  All right, It says right here: Now, I want to go
back to the Book of Luke, and It says, "Who was the son of God." [Lk
3:38] But it's interpolated: "And therefore (It says) Adam was of God."
And that makes It better still.

 	Okay, so what came out of him was the woman who fell. Took him with
her. All right, that's type. We came out of Christ, what have we done?
Well, never mind, what's He done for us? Anybody knows what we've done.
Come on, we've botched up, messed up, so hallelujah the remedy's on. The
remedy is about to be completely effective, and bring us back to the
original

37.	Okay, Genesis 2:16-17.

		(16) 	…God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden
(you 					may) freely eat: (Now listen, he must have told his wife, but
she didn't 					believe him.)

		(17) 	But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, (you shall)
not eat 					of it: in the day (you eat) thereof (you) die.

	Now, that's exactly what was said. Now, Genesis 3:1-7. [Paraphrased] 

		The serpent came by, and he said, "Say, (he said) little lady, is it a
fact that 				God said that all of those trees are not available to you
for food?" 

		And she said, "That's exactly so," she told the little old serpent.
"Shouldn't talk 				to you." She said, "Get out of here boy."

	But, she engaged him in a conversation. Ho, ho, man listen, there
wouldn't be any seduction if the woman would have said, "Get out of here
boy, you talk to my father." Of course he might have been as bad as the
guys, who God knows these days of lousy bunch of perverted incest,
everything else, I wouldn't know what happened. Normally speaking the
woman didn't talk to anybody but (you know) she said, "Get out of here
till you talk to my father," would have been alright, but she messed up
here. Because see, Adam was her father. She came out of him. Also, [he]
would be her brother, be the spouse. Yeah, nothing wrong with that. All
Scripture, beautiful. We're going in type. Okay?

38.		Well, she began talking and he said, "We can't even touch it unless
we die."

		And he said, "Come on, now (he said) you won't surely die. Didn't God
tell 				you that you're going to replenish the earth?"

		"Yeah, well He told me that."

		"Then how are you going to die?"

	Oh, that's a figure of speech. That doesn't mean what It says, anybody
knows that. Bro. Branham said, "Bible means what It says, and says what
It means."

		This old devil came by and he said, "Now, (he said) come on now (he
said) 				how's that going to be? But, (he said) did He tell you how
life would be 					propagated?" 

		She said, "Of course not."

		"Well," he said, "now listen, if God wants you to propagate and Adam
and 				He hasn't told you how, but He must be able to tell you how, or
He wouldn't 				tell you what. So (he said) I'll just tell you how, then
you'll know what and 				how, and you'll be just like God."

		And she said, "Hallelujah I like that."  She was shot right there.

39.	Genesis 5:5.

		(5) 	…all the days (of) Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty
years: and 					he died.

	Now, alright listen: started in Genesis in 2:16-17. That is, that it
really doesn't matter. It was further denied that it did matter in
Genesis 3:1-7. And look what happened Genesis 5:5, it happened, he died.
Doesn't say when she died, but I believe likely died  a whole lot
earlier. 

	Look at our time, our age where it started, and where it is going. It
was prophesied in Revelation 2:4-5. Let's take a look at It. John saw
this, he saw what was happening.

		(4) 	Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, (that you have) left 	
				(your) first love.

		(5) 	Remember therefore from whence (you've) fallen, and repent, and
do 					(your) first works; or I will come quickly, and remove (your)
candlestick 					out of his place, except thou repent.

	I meant absolutely that it lost its location, it lost its union, it had
nothing more to do with Christ. Yeah! Age number one, then number two
did the same thing. So therefore, by the Age of number one expiring, He
only had six left. Age number two went by, He had five left. That's
right. You get down to Age number seven, He's got one left. 

	And what happens? They black out. What's He got left? Well, he's got
the tiniest handful you ever saw and He doesn't have a church. It's all
gone. Bride. See? He's reduced, He's reduced to almost a nothingness at
the end-time. His body is decimated. Like we spoke last night, pulled in
three direction. The soul went one place, the spirit went one place, and
the body went another place, decimated, pulled apart, rejected, He had
nothing left, except solid destitution. Died. 

40.	The church is getting the same way. Christ had no body. Christ
without a body, stand at the door and knock, "Is anybody around here,
(he said)  let me in?" Yeah, that's the way He stood. Right back to
where he was, nothing left. Rejected. 

	Haw, you know Bro. Branham's own tabernacle rejected Him. "Well," you
say, "do you say they're rejecting now?" I don't know if they are, and
that's not my business. But I know they kicked Him out. They had a bunch
of Pentecostal's in there. And they said, "We've got tongues,
interpretations, we've got revelation that you're supposed to go home
right now and lead your father to Jesus Christ."

	"Well," he said, "I think I know my father pretty good, and I don't
think he's sober, and I don't think he'll come to the Lord."

	"Well," they said, "you trying to disbelieve God, you go home and tell
him it's time to come to God."

	So, he went…jumped in his little old car and he went home and he
talked to his dad. And he said, "Dad, (he said) we had a message from
God tonight you're supposed to come to the Lord."

	And he said, "Let me tell you something, (he said) Charlie Branham does
a lot of things he shouldn't do, but one thing he doesn't come to God
drunk." And he's …?...

	He went home, and Bro. Branham, went down to the church, and they said,
"You're wrong, you get out of the church. You just leave the church, get
out of here, you didn't believe God you fouled everything up."

	So, he said, "Maybe I did." 

	He went to his car to get in and the Voice said, "You go back and tell
them to get out." He kicked them out.

	"Oh," you say, "brother, I can't believe that." [said in a horrified
way] You going to make me a liar? [laughter]  You better come out
slugging. Too many people know that story.

41.	All right, see? Now, look where this church is started. "You've left
your first love." [Rev 2:4] What was that love? That had to be the
Logos, because there's no way they could love outside the revelation.

	Well, how could somebody write here it is love that…not that we love
God, but He loved us? How would you know that if somebody didn't tell
you? They left the revelation. They left it, it's just down the drain
now. So, when they leave the Word, they leave God. 

	People don't want to believe that, they say, "Well, now if I left the
Word here, what does it matter?" You left God. Then God leaves you. Come
on, we're at the end-time brother/sister. See, I'm not preaching any
longer down the road. I'm telling you what's happened if you've got ears
to hear. Because, my message is not down the road, it's not back there,
it's here! Every time somebody turns down this Message, they're gone. I
don't care what anybody says. 

	You say you don't care? Certainly I don't care, because I've heard from
God. You say, "How have you heard from God?" I heard a prophet. The Word
of the prophet and the Word of God is one. The judgment of the prophet
which turned Judge, is one with God.

42.	And one day old Samuel stood there, and he said, "The Word of the
Lord came to you Saul," and he said, "You get Agag and that horrible
bunch of guys that ripped our women with children and everything else,
and you take all those beasts and you kill them, and then you kill the
king."

	Saul went down there and the people say, "Hey," he said, "wouldn't
these lovely fat animals make a nice sacrifice to God?" Which means they
could put their hands in and get the nice flesh out of the pot, and eat
like a bunch of hogs. (Yeah.) That's what they wanted.

	So, old king Saul he brings all the herd up, and Samuel said, "What's
is this I hear the lowing of cattle? What's going on, what's going on,
what's going on?"

	Well, Samuel was…why he was completely (what would you say) folded.
He couldn't         be-e-e-lieve [drags the word] that they heard from
God and did that. Then he saw Agag standing there. And he said, "What's
this bird doing here?" 

	And Agag said, (I think he said,) "Maybe the bitterness of death is
over, he'll spare me."

	And he [Samuel] said, "Why didn't you kill him?" He said, "Give me your
sword, I'll do the job." Prophet, Judge, Executioner. Took over the
leaderships. Stood right there like God.

	Now, you say, "Bro. Vayle, that was back in the old days, and the old
days (you know) was so different, back in the old days, and you see, we
had an evolving Gospel and…" Shut up!" Let me read you something.
Bunch of Pentecostal who-done-its. 

43.	Let's get it to it. [Acts 3:19-24]

 		"When times of refreshing shall come from the Presences of the Lord. 
				Even He shall send Jesus Christ, which was appointed, or proclaimed 
				in advance to you. Whom the heavens must retain until the
restoration 					of all things, which God spoke by the mouth of His holy
prophets since 					the world began. For Moses truly said unto the
fathers, A prophet shall 					the Lord your God raise up and your
brethren like unto me; and him you'll 					hear in all things." (Now,
here's a repeat of the Spirit of God in this hour.)                     
             		"It'll come to pass, that every soul, will not hear that
prophet, will be 					destroyed from among the people." (There's got to
be prophet rise up that 					brings utmost judgment.) "Yea, and all the
prophets from Samuel…" 					(right in this hour.)

	You say He's not going to cut the antichrist to pieces? You say we're
going to pull a Saul deal? Be like the armies of Saul? There's wasn't
one general say, "Hey, Saul, hold it old boy, I know you're king, but
you're wrong."

	You got a bunch of pastors run around the world, the tell everybody,
"Oh, follow your pastor, he'll see you through." See you where, heaven
or hell? Preach such cheap junk and say, "Oh, you got to have a church
to go to, and a pastor to pay your tithes."

	When have I asked you for your money? You want it back, I'll see you
get it back. I'm not running down pastor's, neither am I standing with
pastor's anymore who got one thing on their mind, 'power'.  

	I've got one thing on my mind, His power, wonder-working power, in the
wonderful Christ. And I don't love Him half enough. (Yeah.) It started
way back there in that Church Age. 

44.	It was disbelieved in Acts 20:25-30. 

	(I'm not going to get to page 5, but I'm going to let you go, because I
can repeat this in a nutshell. Very big nutshell. You've never seen a
coconut shell this big next Sunday coming up, [laughter] but it's
alright. You stick around, you seem to like it. You're the nicest people
in all the world. I don't know anybody like you. You're too much like
God, and my wife and I can't stand it. [more laughter] You know, I'm
getting the guilt complex Peter. Dianne treats you too good, you'll know
what I mean. You get a guilt complex every time. Women are that, they
just…run, they just kill you will love and kindness and food. What can
you do against it? You're stuck. Which is a very nice way to be stuck.)

	Okay, "She'll do you good all the days of her life." [Prov 31:12] Yep,
that's the Bible, that's what the Bible says, that's what they are.

45.	Okay, Acts 20:25-30, and he called those elders in and he said:

		(28) 	Take heed (of) yourselves, and (unto) all the flock, over the
which 						the Holy Ghost made you overseers, (that you) feed the
church of 						God, which he purchased with his own blood.

		(29) 	For I know this, that after my departing grievous wolves (come)
in 						among you, not sparing the flock.

		(30) 	(And) of your own selves…(What did they feel like when he said
						that?) 

	He said, "There's men sitting among you right now, (he said) that you
thought were full of the Holy Ghost, that they got your vote, the
appointment, you voted them in as pastors and everything else; and a
true elder that's an elder in age and in experience, and in ministry is
next to the Holy Ghost." Period! Quote, William Branham.

	That's why I don't step down from my office any longer. I'm not pushed
around by anybody. There'd be head on war with any man challenges the
Word of Almighty God. I did it years ago, and I'd do it again. I argued,
threw a man the keys, he said, "You're preaching eternal security,
you're going to wreck the church.'

	I said, "Alright, here's the keys, you preach." He looked at me
stunned. I said, "I mean it, take them, you preach." I said, "I've got
hard enough hearing from God, without trying to hear from you too." Came
back next week and apologized. But, he showed what he was down the road.
I'm no authority, but I'm going to tell you what, there's authority in
this Word here.

	If I'm proven wrong, that's fine. Until that time, I'm right. And I'll
take full responsibility for what I say, and what goes on here. And I
mean it, because I've got to stand before God anyway, either true or
false. So I might as well be ready. There's only one thing that can
clear me, do I preach what William Branham preached? Because there's
only one thing cleared him, and yet Paul said, "My Gospel will judge
this world."

		And if William Branham preached Paul's Gospel, he is scot free.
Because look, we are neither judge, nor executioner. For God said, "I
stand behind My Word to perform it," [Ez 12:28] but He lets men give it.
So, we're free if we stay there.

46.	Now, he said, he said, "You people (he said) listen, I'm going to
tell you, I hate to tell you, but I'm going to tell you right now, (he
said) there's men amongst us right now, they're going to rise up,
they're nothing but grievous wolves, and they will not spare the flock."
[Acts 20:29]

	Why do preachers break up homes and everything else plumb around the
country? You say, "This Message?" This Message it started back there and
It'll end the same way." [raps on pulpit]  What do you expect, if He's
Alpha and Omega? You think they won't come in to destroy? Like grievous
wolves? Gobble the flock? Eat the fat thereof? Preacher's better go on a
skinny program. (Yeah, yeah.) I won't shock your ears don't worry, you
can hear things by yourself pretty soon what's going on. One of these
days we're going to be branded like you've never believed. God, get me
out of here before that day. I don't think He'll answer my prayer, but I
sure hope He does. I sure hope He does, or there's some little rock I
can crawl into, or rug I can crawl into, or some little hole, I can pull
the hole in after me. Because, I'll be branded. Every rotten filthy
thing under heaven will fall back under my head, though I've kept myself
clean from those things. God has kept me, I'll be branded, you'll be
branded too. Can't help it.

46.	He said, "They're going to speak perverted things, they going to
draw away disciples after themselves. Therefore watch, remember by the
space of three years I ceased not to warn you." [Acts 20:30-31] 

	He said, "I'm going to tell you something, (he said) get this flat, I'm
free from all blood from this point on."

	William Branham died free from the blood of all men. I want to die the
same way, if I'm going to die. I don't know. I don't know. He said, "I
covet no man's apparel, silver, or anything else. No way. I work for my
own living, I did everything I could." But he said, "I'm going to tell
you something: you can't get by it, there's no way we can miss it."

47.	It's over here in 2 Corinthians 11: He said, "I'm free from the
blood of all men." He said, I've preached a virgin message, and if the
Bride isn't virgin, it's not my fault. Because (he said) I married her
as a virgin to Christ, by a virgin Word." And he said, "At this hour
having left the first love, she has left the true knowledge of Jesus;
the true knowledge of the Word, the true knowledge of the Spirit of
Almighty God."

	She was so confused in three points, she had the wrong Jesus; the wrong
God; and the wrong Word already. What do you think this Age has, my
brother, my sister to commend her? [raps on pulpit] 

	The hounds of hell are not only on her heels and overtake her and rend
her. And the evil vultures of spirits will take over her entire body and
she'll be the house of Ca-in, the Vatican. She'll be the house of hell.
Bro. Branham said, "Give way house of hell." But only a Bride can come
out of a house of hell looking miserable and all. But, those bars will
not give way to anybody but a Bride that comes out. Because, they're
firmly imprisoned in there, and he said, "I've espoused you, I married
you." [2 Cor 11:2] 

	But, what did she become from a virgin? She became what she was over
here in Revelation 17:  Listen, this is the church. That's why he said,
don't even bother looking at her, what are you going to get out of her? 

48.	What do I care looking what the pope is going to do? Already told
you first hand, handsome looking cardinals, bishops, or somebody. Very,
very handsome distinguished man on a morning broadcast (I don't know
where it was, someplace in a motel,) turned the news on, and here was
this man telling them, they said, "Well sir, is it true the pope is
going to fly into Poland?"

	He said, "No way, what are you talking about?"

	"Well," they said, "he's Polish, and he could go in there try to stop
the Commies or something." 

	He said, "What are you talking about? They're legates in there, are in
touch with our legate and it's already settled. As long as the pope does
not make derogatory remarks and throw a lot of stuff against the
Communists, they won't invade the nation." They're afraid of the pope's
tongue. I'm heard of the pope's nose, this is ridiculous. Pope's nose,
and pope's tongue? I guess so. 

	And they said, "As long as he doesn't berate us, (the Communist said,)
we won't go in." And they haven't gone into Poland yet. Because the
legate is there.

	And people said, "Well, the pope says he's going to fly in. Will there
be this, will there be that." No, if he flies in, it'll be, "Ring around
the rosie, pocket full of posie'," he said, "I'll have a good time."
Because, "who can make war with the beast." [Rev 13:4b] 

49.	What do I care about the church system, their clap-trap and
balderdash? What do I care where they're going? I've been pronounced
'Bride' by a prophet of God. Yes! By the rule of the Book, I've been
declared a Bride. And what do I worry about the Hagar's, and preachers
wanting their Hagar's, let them have them, it shows what they got.

	If I'm a woman in the sight of God, per se, as a virgin, then I only
want Him. If I want a flock of women around me, means just one thing, I
haven't got Him. I don't have a meek and submissive spirit. I got a
whorish spirit on me. A whore-mongering spirit, (that's a word) preach
everything under God's high heaven and call it God. We're back in
Revelation 17:1-5.

	And the angel of heaven came and talked to him, and he said, "I want to
show you the judgment of the great whore that sits upon many waters.
She's over all the people. And on her forehead was  a name written,
'Mystery, Babylon the great mother of harlots'.

	Yeah, fornicating with evil out there dropping her Protestant babies
around the place, a bunch of illegitimates. And the illegitimates
running around, "Oh, we left mother." Every baby leaves its mother, you
idiot! But, you came from momma.

	"Oh," they say, "No Bro. Vayle…" Don't Bro. Vayle me. 

	One day Jesus said to the Pharisees, He said, "You claim your father's
were right to kill the prophets, and you're their children, you'd have
killed them too, you bunch of birds. You came from your father, what do
you expect?" 

	"Why," they said, "You're of your father the devil. Oh, (they said)
what are you talking about?"

	He said, "I'm talking about you and me."

	They couldn't take it.

50.	Okay, [Revelation 17] verse 6.

		(6) 	And I saw the woman (drunk) with the blood of the saints, with
the 					blood of the martyrs of Jesus: when I saw her, I wondered with 
					great admiration. (She got all cleaned up now.)

	"Oh, if pope John XXIII had only been pope instead of Leo and Tetzel,
Luther would not have left the church." Hogwash! 

	"Oh, if my baby had not been born with a club-foot, he'd a been a pole
vaulter." Sure, but he's born with a club-foot. Oh God have pity. "If my
cat had been born a dog, I'd have a dog." Sure. [laughter]

	Yeah, If Leo had only been John, he wouldn't have left. Hogwash! Leo
was Leo, and Luther was Luther, hallelujah, the same as Cain was not
Abel, and Abel was not Cain. Oh, glory to God. Phooey on their nonsense.

51.	Revelation 18:5-8.

		(5) 	For her sins have reached unto heaven, God (remembers) her 					
(iniquity).

		(6) 	Reward her even as she rewarded you, (she's killed you) double
unto 					her double…

	God says, "Go down and get even with her."

	"Oh, I can't do that. I can't do that, I can't do that, I'm too nice."

	You won't be kid, at the right time. I'm pretty nasty right now, I got
to admit. See look, don't look, I keep warning: don't look at me, you
can listen to what I say, because what I'm telling you is the truth.
But, maybe not in the spirit in what I say at a time, but once you begin
to understand this flat, He said, "You reward her double." You kill her
and watch her be thrown in and you demand it.

	I want to ask you a question, let's get this straight: wouldn't you
just love to really stand there and see the devil get his, and any
spirit that's trouble you? "Oh," you say, "yes." Well, who do you think
these human beings are kids of? (Uh?) I'm going to tell you something
brother/sister: if you don't want to get mosquito bit, you spray every
pond and slough and running water even, or you're going to get mosquito
bit.

	Bro. Branham said, "He's going to even clean the air a thousand miles
up of every germ." Now, if we can't be susceptible to germs, what's He
cleaning it for? Because He doesn't want it.

	You say, "Bro. Vayle, the thing is this you know, I got something on my
feet if I walk in cow manure, then my feet don't smell. Would you like
to walk in cow manure if I gave you a bottle of it?" Shows somebody's
thinking isn't right. I shouldn't preach this way, I'm too cotton-pickin
carnal. I would use the word 'pragmatic' is what I would use you know to
get by with it. But, I might as well be honest, because honesty is the
order of my day and I'm honest with you. I'm going to quit now instead
of going to page five, because I'm not going to take any more time.
Except I want to read this little bit in here.

52.	Now, make no mistake about it, Revelation 2:4-5, which I read, is
the same sorry church that ends up in the Church Ages in Revelation
3:14-17, when they say to me, He said, "You're luke-warm, I wish you
were hot or cold, I'm going to get rid of you, because you say, 'I'm
rich, increased in goods and need nothing', and don't even know that
you're wretched." You're bank account's gone. You're destitute, I'm not
with you anymore. It's finished, snafu, it's all over.

	"Well," you say, "hallelujah, He's with us, glory to God. We're getting
the Holy Ghost, we're speaking in tongues, we're having a wonderful
time."

	And He said, "It's all wrong." He said, "You're miserable."

	"Oh," they say, "we're not miserable, we're having a wonderful time." 

	He said, "You're poor."

	"Oh," they say, "no!"

	He said, "You're blind." And He said, "You're naked. You're caught in
your adulteries. You've been exposed where you came from, and you're
doing what your rotten mother did. And you're getting back with her to
do it more than ever, because you found it's a lot of fun to have a
hierarchy and a bunch of preachers running things." 

	And I watch them. I like to watch these preachers, (you know) they're
dressed a certain way, and they're so decorous. That means (you know)
what you call, they've got the ability to be nice which I don't have, I
don't have decorum. I suppose I should be like the person that said,
"You're very uncouth." 

	"Well," he said, "let's go to the store and get some 'couth'." Well, I
guess I should go to the store and get some 'decorum', but, it's
something on the inside, and fap, I lost it. I'm not too…  [blank
spot] 

53.	This church here is caught in her whoredoms. She's naked. Listen,
the word 'nakedness', It says in here, "I counsel to buy me of gold…"
and so on. "And raiment, that you be clothed, that the shame of thy
nakedness do not appear." [Rev 3:18] The shame of nakedness is being
caught in sexual illicit intercourse.

	And John says, "We should not be shamed in His Presence." Don't be
caught in this hour of His Presence with your creeds and your dogmas,
your idolatry. Because, if you are; right to the Tribulation, Lake of
Fire. Now, I'm sorry, but that's the Bible. I'm not sorry for this
reason: if I believe in God, I've got to believe in God all the way, or
I've got to quit. I'm sorry. 

	One day there was a man that went into Israel, the Promised Land, his
name was Achan, and he had in his heart something that shouldn't have
been there, no doubt he had some of that seed from the mixed multitude,
and he saw Babylonian garment, he saw wedges of silver and gold and he
put it away and he hid it. The camp fell into disrepute with God in
Israel, in pain because of sin of this one man because of one sin, all
sin, if one member perish, (or feel faint rather,) or sick, all are
suffering. It's one body, they walked in as a body.

	And Israel began to fall by the wayside, and Joshua said, "Hold it,
there's sin in the camp somewhere, (he said) because this is not the way
it should be, we came and sanctified and something happened." 

	They brought in Achan, he was finally taken and his household and he
[Joshua] said, "Give glory to God and (he said) confess your sin." And
when he did, the whole house was destroyed.

54.	Now, you say, "What kind of a God would do that?" Listen, don't you
understand Jehovah of the Old is Jesus of the New? I'm not preaching a
God of vengeance. And look it, don't you understand what I'm telling you
He is here, and the chips are down; and we've got a bunch of fence
sitters around the country. 

	Where ever the winds blow they go this way and that way. I thank God
He's calling me off the field once and for all! I hope I don't have to
take one more meeting, I come back and I'm sicker and feel rottener than
ever. When I leave this pulpit, I'll be right back where I was, feeling
rottener than ever. That's why I tell you people that as much as I'm not
going to do it, I'm not going to have seven services a week. Not just to
feel good, no way. But, I'm going to tell you brother/sister, the chips
are down.

	The Judge in the time of the former and latter-rain is standing at the
door. "Behold, I the prophet [raps on the pulpit] stand at the door as
Judge. It's in the earth now. And when I decide to execute and it
already started in 1964 of March 27, '64, when the earthquake hit
Alaska, and the judgments of God struck the earth.

 	You say, "What am I going to do Bro. Vayle?" Believe, only believe
that's all you can do. Because, He stands behind His Word to perform It.

55.	That's enough for this morning, I'm not going to go any further than
that. See? How are you going to get a Resurrection Rapture right now out
of this mess? See, the church will never have a Resurrection and a
Rapture. It's finished! Only the Bride will have It.

	You cannot get clean from unclean, you cannot get good from bad. You've
got to go back to clean, to get clean, and good to get good. There's
going to be a Bride, she's got to get right back, and she's going to get
back, and judgment is going to fall. That's exactly what it's all about.
He's here. The great Prophet was here and He had a reflector called
William Branham. The great Judge is still here, with the Word that was
laid out. And He's already started to move, coming into the kingship,
the Great Executor. And when He moves out of this earth and takes us
with Him, that Spirit will be going up and the devil's spirit coming on
down. And He will incarnate Himself, and present us to Him, and we'll
crown Him King of kings, and Lord of lords.

	And you watch, the three and a half years of tribulation. Will we be
saying, "Lord, don't do it to those folk down there?" Look, I'm not
vengeful, I'm just telling you, it's over, it's changed. You can't stop
it. 

56.	Noah preached a hundred and twenty years and got in that ark. The
minute that he got in that ark the door was closed by God Himself. I'm
not taking mercy from anybody, because it's not mine to give. And I'm
not giving Word to anybody, because It's not mine to give. I'm not
judging anybody, because it's not mine to do. I'm simply doing my best
to say what has already been said, that as a prophet was a reflector, by
the grace of God I am the echoer of a prophet. Now, let's see where it
goes. See where it goes.

	There wasn't one word said to Abraham about judgment, just
commendation. Said. "Listen, Abraham's a good boy, I'm going to see that
he brings forth that son in flesh." The Bride will bring Him down to
earth my brother/sister. The Bride [raps hard on pulpit] will bring Him
down to earth, not your rotten stinking church out there; the cesspool
of iniquity.

	Can a good thing come out of an unclean thing? NO! Can Christ come down
here with pollution? NO! "Cursed is he who's sword does not draw blood."
[Jer 48:10] No vengeance, that's His. I preach hard and tough, but I
don't feel one bad spirit in me going out to hurt anybody. I don't,
that's before God. I wouldn't lie to you anymore, than Bro. Branham felt
terribly good when I read to you those passages how He's going to come
back and destroy. "Hallelujah," he says. Why? Because he puts it on Him.
Not the destruction, the honor and the glory, the crowned King, nobody
stands in His way, but nobody.  Oh yes, we're learning to learn about
God brother/sister. That's what it's all about. And we become thoroughly
known.

	Time's up, let's rise. (Preached five minutes of overtime at least.)

	Heavenly Father, we again thank and praise You for Your love, mercy and
honor which You have bestowed upon us in this late and last hour, Lord,
by bringing Yourself on the scene, and a prophet, Lord, vindicated by
You to let us know that You also are vindicated to us, that this is the
Word of this hour. And we know that judgment struck the earth. The
judgments of God are in the earth. We know that, Lord, it started with
that earthquake, the prophet said so. We are believers, Lord God. If
this was Your prophet, Lord, then we can say one thing, we know that You
know, that we are believers to the best of our human ability. For we
know that we're still a carnal state in many ways. We want to believe,
Lord, as never before.

	We're coming more and more to that place, Lord, we are by grace and
it's got to be by You. Until, Lord, one day we come to that finality of
that tremendous experience of You, Yourself give as You gave to Sarah
and Abraham, that they could be changed back to bring a son upon earth.

	Lord, I'm laying it all upon You. As a prophet said, just laying it all
back on You. That if there's any glory and honor, if there's anything,
my God, that's ever manifested it's going to be because of You, Lord.
Because of You, and not anything in ourselves, as of ourselves, no way,
shape, or form.

	We couldn't even come to You, Lord, except we had something in the
beginning handed down. We couldn't come, Lord, except You drew us. We
couldn't repent unless You granted, we couldn't have faith unless You
gave it, Lord. There is nothing, nothing, nothing. We put it all on You.
O God, can there come that day, please, rapidly, when it's all wrapped
up in You. And there's no more of this rottenness around our heart,
there's no more need for circumcision of heart and mind. There's no more
need for anything of what we hate so desperately, and so thoroughly, and
yet we got to go through it until it's all brought back to where it
should be, Lord. I can't wait for that day. God in Heaven, it's so
tempting, at the same time it's so frustrating that we almost want to
blow this place up and ourselves with it, if we know that it just got us
there a little faster. But, maybe it would, but it wouldn't do us any
good in the long run. We want You to it all, Lord, if we got to take a
hand in it this late. I guess we don't have nothing in the first place.

	So, Father God, we commend ourselves to you and help us now as the
prophet said, that he consecrate himself. Help us to consecrate
ourselves to the Word. No matter what it costs in the other lines and
other forms. We want that, Lord. 

	Now, we just thank You again for Your goodness to us. Your Presence,
Your love, Your mercy, and the lovely people we have with us today,
Lord. We thank You for people coming from afar. They're going home
today, Lord, we pray that they'll enjoy fellowship as they go out to eat
with each other, whatever they do in homes and so on. And as they go
home may there be safety provided for them, grace, Lord, right down the
line and us who stay here. May we, Lord, be ready in some way, anyway we
can do to help them if they want to come back, and do come back, opened
arms, and love, and anything we can do, Lord, for each other. Because,
we know pretty soon it'll be too late to do anything as we're separated.
Not to go to You, but we could be separated one from another over the
trouble that's going to come upon the earth.

	And then we know also, Lord, when it's over, how are we going to lay up
anymore further treasure if we spurn the opportunity. Oh God, we look
back and we just wonder what we're all about. If there ever was a time,
Lord, we got to have faith in  You. We do have faith in You, Lord. Is,
You've got to do it, Lord, everything that's going to be done, You've
got to do, or we're just going to get further and further in the old
muck and mire, worse and worse, Lord. You have got to do it, we're
looking at You now, Lord, in Whose Presence we stand. 

	We look at you and then we say: "You are our King, You are our
champion, you are our Priest. You are a Judge, You're everything, Lord
God, You're our Advocate, You're the great Executor of everything. You
do it, Lord, You do it, O God, You do it. You do it. Even giving us a
heart that stand back, and in proper faith see that You do it"

	 Lord, let all the glory and honor be upon You. And where we fail,
Lord, in cleansing, or anything make it up, O God, because we are come
to the place where if It isn't You, It isn't going to be done that much
we know, Lord. There isn't even going to think of it anymore in any
other terms. I can't do it. I'm finished, O God, washed up completely
gone without You.	Lord God, completely gone. You've got to do it, Lord,
we're trusting, we're trusting the best we can, Lord.

	We know it's not too hot in ourselves, but, Father, we've got something
that says, what started is going to be finished. And we believe it will.
So, be with us in all things, and all ways, we know that You're worthy,
we're unworthy, but You're worthy. We give You praise and give You glory
in Jesus' Name we pray. Amen

	Let's sing that song, "We'll walk in the Light." Because that's what is
brother/sister. I don't care what lies out there, if there's no Light on
the subject, there's no way we're going to get anywhere. It's the Blood
of Jesus Christ only cleanses us. While we're in that Light, we've got
everything working for us today. There's nothing …?... us, no way,
shape and form, if we just have…keep in mind that Light.
