The Spirit Manifested Life

Bro. Lee Vayle - July 2, 1978

	Heavenly Father we do come to You tonight and our need is Lord, not
necessarily that we have to have so many things of life that we do want
and do.  We do know You do supply them liberally, but the one thing we
need above, Lord, is that Your Word, because in It we know that we have
Eternal Life. So, we pray that Your Word will guide us and direct us and
show us the things that we ought to know. May Christ be glorified, may
it not be the thoughts of man, or the emotions of man, or what man has,
the prejudices of dogmas or creeds. But may It be solely Your Word,
Lord, and we ask You know to come forth in that respect, and be careful
to give You the praise in Jesus' Name.  Amen. You may be seated.

1.	Now, again tonight I want you to be well aware of the fact that I'm
not going to try to teach you something that you don't know, but we're
going to go into the Word of the Lord. Something which we already know,
but perhaps we'll know It a little bit better.

	The major reason, the message tonight is, 'The Spirit Manifest Life',
which will deal will not exclusively with, but bring into account the
evidence the baptism with the Holy Ghost, is because of what I have seen
happen in the United States, where some brethren have never been able to
accept what Bro. Branham did say was the actual evidence. And because of
that I have seen which I believe in my heart to be things that have
crept in, which are not pertinent to this Message, are not comely
concerning what we believe, and therefore have led to some error.

2.	Now, we're going to begin in the Book of Acts 1:4-5, and then we'll
go to Acts 2:1-4.  And It says:  

		(4) 	And, being assembled together with them, commanded them they 				
	should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the 					
Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.

		(5) 	For John truly baptized with water; but (you should) be baptized 
					with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

	Now, in here we see a comparison where Jesus is using water baptism as
a basis for the baptism with the Holy Ghost. And what I see here is that
even as water baptism is real and cannot be denied, neither can the
baptism with the Holy Ghost be denied, because It is a real experience.

	As the question came one time to Bro. Branham, "Can a person receive
the Holy Spirit and not know It?"

	He said, "Can a woman have a baby and not know it?" He said,
"Certainly, she will know it unless she's anesthetized." So, here we see
that God has given us the legitimate promise which can be translated
into very definite reality, that a person can receive the Holy Spirit.

3.	And in Acts 2:1-4 we see the historical account of how He came.

		(1) 	…when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with
one 					accord in one place.

		(2) 	And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing
mighty 					wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

		(3) 	And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and
it sat 					upon each of them.

		(4) 	And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak
with 					other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

	Now, I'm going to read in a minute or two some quotes from what Bro.
Branham said was the evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Now,
first of all we want to notice that you cannot find the term in the
Bible the evidence of the Holy Spirit, or the evidence of the baptism
with the Holy Spirit. So, when we use the term we are using that term
evidence of the baptism with the Holy Ghost as an expression that comes
from Pentecostal dogma. Wherein they said and believed and you and I
used to know, (no doubt the majority of us) that you can know if you are
filled with the Holy Spirit, and you can know that others are filled
with the Holy Spirit only if you or the people that you know speak with
tongues.

4.	Now, they say that you must speak in tongues as a proof that you have
received the baptism with the Holy Ghost. Now, of course we know where
they got their idea. The idea came from Charles Parham asking three or
four, (whatever it was) young students of Scripture to go through the
Bible and find what the evidence of the baptism with the Holy Ghost was.


	So, they studied the Book of Acts where they found three out of five
cases mentioned that they spake with tongues. And so, they took that as
a pretty good average and they figured that if three out of five cases
they spoke with tongues, then it was to be presupposed that all five
cases spoke with tongues. What they didn’t realize is what I've
already said that this is the historical account of how the Holy Spirit
was given, but it is not what the Scripture teaches to be the Bible
evidence.

5.	Now, we're going to read here then, the quotes that Bro. Branham has
given us. And I feel at perfect liberty to do so, even though the Bible
does not speak of an evidence, per se. But since Bro. Branham said, (and
I believe that you'll concur heartily) "that when the purpose of a thing
is manifested that is the evidence of it." So, if the purpose of the
Holy Ghost is such and such, and that is manifested, and that would
certainly be the evidence. Now, we're going to read the quotes, oh
several of them. 

	One: [The Spoken Word Is The Original Seed 62-0318]    And you might
not think these are not too pertinent, but well get around to them.

[384]  	You can only serve God as you do and believe the servants. (Now,
I'll read 				that again, because it sounds a little difficult.) You can
only serve God as 					you do and believe the servants that God sends.
You can only serve God on 				earth, see, as God’s servants that’s
sent on earth by Divine inspiration 					interpret the Word to you. 

6.	Now, we'll see more of that as we get into Revelation chapter 2.
There's only one evidence of the Holy Spirit that I know of, and that's
the genuine faith in the promised Word of the hour.

	[The Feast Of The Trumpets 64-0719]

[101] 	  Jesus, the Son of God, revealing Himself by the Scriptures,
making the 					Scripture (that has been predestinated to this day, like
it was to that day, 					and all other days) live. And to believe It, is
the evidence of the Holy Spirit. 				Righteousness.   

	Now, you'll notice he uses the terminology 'righteousness'. Now,
righteousness of course is found in 2 Corinthians 5:21, where It
mentions that God…that Jesus was made a sacrifice for sin, "He Who
knew no sin, that we might become the righteousness of God by our union
with Him. "And by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body." [1 Cor
12:13]

	So therefore, the Holy Spirit Himself is our righteousness. And so, the
evidence of righteousness according to what Bro. Branham said, is to
believe the Word that is predestinated to your day, as it was in all
days.

7.	 Another quote:  [The Easter Seal  65-0410]

[132] 	But the real, true quickening Spirit that comes to believer,
quickens him to 				God’s Word, 

	When the quickening took place, they were not afraid to make a witness
of the Message that they believed in you to be the true.

8.	Fifth:  [This Day This Scripture Is Fulfilled 65-0219]

[146] 	The Holy Ghost is the Word of God in you, that identifies Itself
by accepting 				that Word. Outside of that, it can’t be the Holy
Ghost. If it says it’s the Holy 				Spirit, and denies one Word of
that Bible, it cannot be the Holy Spirit. That’s 				the evidence
whether you believe it or not.  

9.	Token: number six: [Token 63-0901]  

[208] 	The Token agrees with every Word. It has got to, because It is
the Word. It is 				the Life that was in the Word. “My Words are
Spirit and Life,” 

	Again, that's the evidence of the Holy Spirit when God reveals to you
and you see it. "Thus saith the Lord' and accept it. It's what God has
done for you, now there's your evidence.

10. Now, we'll just go to Scripture here and break this down, so that we
will see for ourselves that we're not depending merely upon what
somebody else has said, but what the Holy Spirit has already placed in
the Word of God. We go to John 14:26.

		(26) 	But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will
						send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all
things 						to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

	Now, here we find that the Holy Spirit is definitely given for a
teaching ministry.  

11.	Now, we're going to connect this with John 16: and see It perfectly
beginning at verse 12. He said, 

		(12) 	I have yet many things to say unto you, but (you) cannot bear
them 					now.

	Now, He's made a statement here to the people that is very precise. He
said, "I would like to say many things, but you haven't got what it
takes, so there's simply no use in telling you."

	"Well now, when are we going to be able to take It?"

	"Well, (He said) you'll be able to take It when the Holy Spirit comes."
Because that's what He said in verse 2.

		(13) 	Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you
						into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever
he 						shall hear, that shall he speak: and he (shall show) you things
to 						come.

		(14) 	He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall
(show) 						it unto you.

		(15) 	All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, he
shall 						take of mine, and shall (show) it unto you.

	Now, if you just keep these words in mine here, you will see that the
whole message I bring will dovetail with It. For He is saying here that
"when the Spirit of God is come He will teach you the Spirit of Truth
will guide you into all Truth."

 	Now, that statement is tremendously inclusive of just about anything
in everything that would be incumbent upon a Christian to either do or
produce.  And then He said, "He’ll not speak of Himself. And again He
said, "Whatever He'll hear you that will speak and He will show you
things to come. He shall glorify Me, for He shall receive of Mine and
show It unto you." And then, so I say, as you keep these Scriptures in
mind, you will see that It dovetails with the entire sermon. 

12.	Now, 1 Corinthians 2:9,

		(9) 	But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, …

	Now watch how this dovetails with John 16: because He mentions that
they didn't have what it takes. And then He said when the Holy Spirit
came He would do certain things.

		(9)	…Eye hath not see, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the
heart 					of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love
him.

	That's the same place what Jesus said. Said, "You haven't got what it
takes."

		(10) 	But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: (the literal
fulfillment 					of John is taking place here) for the Spirit searcheth
all things, yea, the 					deep things of God.

		(11) 	For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man
						which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the
					Spirit of God.

	Now, he's telling you here in simple illustration that as birds
understand birds, and animals understand animals, and people understand
people, it's going to take God to understand God. So, don't kid
yourself. You don't have God, you're just finished. Try as hard as you
want, you might feel that you might think that you understand the dog.
But let me tell you flat, there's no one here that can really understand
the dog. You can be as smart as Pavlov and train him, and do this and do
that, but you'll never understand the dog. Now, Albert Pace and Terry
Hoon(?) tells how that there were two dogs, and he had one little tiny
dog, and one a great big old Mastiff, he was a good old Boxer kind of a
dog, could really fight.

	And he said one day a little dog went out of his yard went down the
road, and he got out of his own element. A dog came by and just whipped
the living daylights out of that young dog. So, the young dog went home
and there was a big dog there and said something. And he saw the big dog
and the little dog go down the street, and the big dog whipped the
stuffing's out of the dog that whipped the stuffing's out of the little
dog. Now, you figure that out. You haven't, you haven't got a dog's
spirit. I wouldn't push that too hard on some people of course.
[laughter] You haven't got a bird's spirit. How come sparrow's breed
with sparrows, but a white man will go with a black woman? We should be
birds. 

13.	Now, lets' face it, he's just telling something just flat here, you
on you as people understand people, because you've got human spirits.
Birds have spirits understand birds. Nature goes in continuity, how can
anybody but God know God? Now, if you haven't got God you're finished,
and it lets you know that there's only one way to have God, and that's
by being baptized with the Holy Ghost. And it tells you what will happen
when you do have Him. Then when it happens when you do have Him you have
Him. If it's not happening you don't have Him. We're looking at
evidence, right? As far as I'm concerned this is very simple.

		(12) 	Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the
spirit 						which is of God; that we might know the things that are
freely given 					to us of God.

	Now, It says, "you got to know Him." It doesn't say, "have Him so much
as you've got to know Him." Because if you have Him you got it all,
because He is the Word. And if you have that creative Word you got
everything. The thing would know would be to know how to manifest It,
distribute it and so on.

14.	All right, notice 13,

		(13) 	Which things also we speak, …

	You say, "Paul, you big mouth, you must be telling us something, you've
really got something."

	He said, "Sure (he said) I'm not a big mouth, I knew there was
something." 

	You know, people don't like the idea there's such a thing as God
ordained men in the Ages that really stand as God to the people. They
don't like that. Here's Paul, he said:

		(13) 	Which things also we speak, …

	Of course, he's very polite, he's including these folk here, but he's
not really. If this really the editorial 'we', because Paul never called
a conference with anybody, or for anybody. God called him into
conference and told him what for, and wherein and Paul went out and
preached it. So, this is the editorial 'we' actually. I'll show you in
chapter 14.

		(13) 	Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom 
				(teaches), but which the Holy Ghost (teaches); comparing spiritual 	
				things with spiritual.

	In other words, you don't go outside the Word, and you don't go outside
of God. Hope you caught that. Interesting thought.

		(14) 	But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of
God: 						for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, 
					because they are spiritually discerned.

15.	Now, let's get to 1 Corinthians 14:36-37 to what I want to look at,
and show you it's not the editorial 'we'. 

		(36) 	What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you 			
		only?

	The editorial 'we' was back there, Paul was speaking of Paul of himself
in the first person and softening it. But here he lets them know the
Word never came out of you, the Word came unto you and I'm that one that
brought It. Now, he said, 

		(37) 	(Listen) if any man think himself to be a prophet, (it is a
prophet 						to whom the Word comes. That's a major prophet. If he's a
minor 						prophet, he can never be a part from the Word.) or
spiritual, (that 						is full of the Holy Ghost) let him acknowledge
that the things that 						I write unto you are the commandments of the
Lord. (See?)

16.	Okay, 1 John 2: and here's another man, beginning at verse 18.

		(18) 	Little children, it is the last time: as (you) have heard that
antichrist 					shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby
we know 					that it is the last time.

	Who's an antichrist? A man' that's got a false spirit on him. He's a
false prophet, he's got the wrong Word.

		(19) 	They went out from us, they were not of us; if they had been of
us, 						they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out,
that 					they might be made manifest they were not all of us.

	In other words, we weren't a complete unit. We didn't all have the Holy
Spirit.

		(20) 	But (you that stayed with the Word) have an unction from the
Holy 					One, and (you) know all things.

	Now, did they really know everything? No, they did not know everything.
No man would know all things. What it is, the unction is the potential,
so that everything can be known that is necessary to the individual and
fallen in line for the individual. Consequently, the whole church. Just
what do you think my thumb knows? I'd hate to ask it. It wouldn't answer
me anyway. What do my toes know? But there's an intelligence that keeps
the whole body as a unit and it all knows, is what he's saying here. All
right. 

		(21) 	I have not written unto you because (you) know not the truth,
(it's 						been laid out before you) but because (you) know it, and no
lie is 						of the truth.

		(22) 	Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He
is 						antichrist, that (denies) the Father and the Son.

		(23) 	Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: …
(I'm 						going to leave that print out there, that somebody else put
in, I'm 						not interested.)   

		(24) 	Let that therefore abide in you, which (you)have heard from the 
					beginning. (And see, he's using the identical words to what Jesus 	
				is using over there in chapter 15, as well as in 17 and so on.) If
that 					which (you) have heard from the beginning shall remain in you,
						(you) also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.

17.	Now, he's pinning it down to words. He's pinning Eternal Life down
to Word. He's not pinning it down to something else. "Search the
Scripture, for in them you think you have Eternal Life, and they are
they which testify of Me." [John 5:39] And that is the truth. For the
Word is Spirit and Life. Now:   

		(25) 	…this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal
life.

	That's just what I said from verse 24 to 25. Eternal Life is there. The
Word in the person is Eternal Life. Eternal Life is the Word.

		(26) 	These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce
you.

	So, I'm giving you a warning:

		(27) 	But the anointing which (you) have received of him abideth in
you, 					and (you) need not that any man teach you: … 

	No man can teach anybody, there's no living person. If I were up here
so full of the Holy Ghost, I'd scintillate like a million-watt bulb,
there's isn't one person could catch one word I was saying in the Holy
Ghost, unless you had the Holy Ghost to catch it. I'm sorry. It just
doesn't work from father to son, or teacher to pupil. Or individual to
individual. The best you can get is a smattering of a carnal letter. But
to know the Word of God is impossible. (See?) You got to have the Holy
Spirit. 

		(27)	…(no) man (can) teach you: but as the same anointing (teaches) 
					you of all things, and is (the) truth, and no lie, even as it hath
taught 					you, (you) shall abide in him.

	And what if he hasn't taught you? You can't abide in Him. There it is.

		(28) 	…little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we
may 						have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

	And what's he talking about? The anointing of the Word of Almighty God
the Reality of what the Holy Spirit can bring to that Word in the
person. And he said, "That is your Eternal Life, that is your safeguard,
that is what we're looking for, that is what we want. (See?) Thank God
that is what we have.

18.	Now, this has continued in all Seven Church Ages. It has never
ceased. It cannot cease. We go to Revelation 2:7. Now, first of all read
verse 1.

		(1) 	Unto the (messenger) of the church (which is in) Ephesus write; 	
				These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right
hand, … 

	Who is He? That's Jesus. Where is He? He is in the Bride. How long is
he in the Bride? Seven Church Ages. Because the Seven Candlesticks are
the Seven Churches, are the Seven Ages. And the Seven Stars are the
messenger in the right hand. Seven Church Ages, seven messengers, and
the Son of Man His Voice is in that Bride continuously.  Because John
turned to see the Voice. And when he turned to see the Voice, he saw the
outward manifestation which was a Bride. So, the Bride is the Word of
God in every Age. ["Amen"] Thank you, don't be afraid to say "amen" once
in a while. Usually I don't want it, because it just disturbs people.
But I appreciate you're catching on. Now, that’s what the Son of man
revealed in human flesh is the Bride in every Age. (See?) 

19.	Now,

		(1) 	Unto the (messenger) of the church of Ephesus… These things
saith 					he that (holds) the seven stars in his right hand, who
(walks) in the 						midst of the seven golden candlesticks;

	Then in verse 7,

		(7) 	He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the 
					churches; …

	Now, how does anybody hear from God? The individual person does not
hear from God, it's a messenger that hears from God, and then the people
in whom is the Holy Ghost, they will listen to that Word, and every Word
is 'Amen' to the individual, and no man is teaching, but the Spirit
inside is collecting It. (See?) So therefore, the Holy Spirit is
incarnated seven times in every age, in specific individuals and
incarnated in the rest of the members of the body. Even as the mind
controls the body, so the incarnation of the major messenger is as it
were, our minds. Where Paul said, "We have the mind of Christ." 

	This goes on for Seven Ages, because in every Age it's the same thing
unto the messenger to the church which is in.  "Then he that hath an
ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying." But God is giving the Word
to only one individual. And that individual is as Bro. Branham said, in
our guide that Peter was the incarnation of the Holy Spirit to
Cornelius. And we in our turn become the same thing in a lesser form, as
we spread the good Word of Almighty God.

20.	Now, at the end of the Seventh Church Age preparatory for the
Resurrection, the greatest illumination of the Age has come. We go over
here to the Book of Ephesians, (I could skip this, but I won't do it.)
[Chapter 1:] beginning at verse 15 to those who are sealed in:

		(15) 	Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus,
and 						love unto all the saints,

		(16) 	Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my 		
			prayers;

		(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:

	Now, what's going to happen at the end time? I'll tell you, and show
you it's the end time.

		(17)	… give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the
knowledge 					of him:

		(18) 	The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that (you) may
						know what is the hope of his calling, the riches of the glory of
his 						inheritance in the saints,

	Now notice, it takes a definitive spirit to do it. No man of himself
can know this. At the end time the spirit assumes another office, and
that office is the office of revelation in a specific way, that He will
reveal Christ. And then It says here at that time: 

		(19) 	…what is the exceeding greatness of (the) power (of the
resurrection) 					to (us) who believe, (is manifested) … 

	Which means the Resurrection takes place at this time a specific
fantastic illumination. So therefore, you can see putting the Scripture
together, and for what the prophet said. That everything depends upon
the Holy Spirit coming into recognition in the individuals and to the
individuals to accomplish anything of the plan of Almighty God. (I
couldn't repeat that if I tried, so I hope you caught it.) Should have
written it down.  

21.	Let me read what the prophet said. [The Spoken Word is the Original
Seed 62-0318]

[384] 	You can only serve God as you do, and believe the servants that
God sends. 				You can only serve God on earth (see) as God's servants
that's sent on earth 				by Divine inspiration interprets the Word to
you. 

	In other words, if there wasn't someone to interpret the Word of God to
us, a literal incarnation of the Holy Spirit in every Church Age, nobody
could worship and serve God, period! And that's exactly what the Bible
says whether you believe it or not. (See?) 

	Now, that's just not a vindicated prophet having said it. If you have
the Holy Spirit you can understand and see what even what I am saying up
here, as I take you to Scripture by Scripture. There is nobody can
worship and serve God outside of the baptism with the Holy Ghost, and
the baptism with the Holy Ghost brings a definitive revelation that
makes it possible, without the revelation, it can't be possible. You
cannot worship or serve God. It simply cannot be done. (See?) Now, I
hope we're in agreement up to this point.

22.	Now, I believe however, that there are many people and I have spoken
a little bit prefacing a Message of some that I know, who are a little
confused if not more than a little confused concerning evidence and the
manifestation, or working of the Holy Spirit in a spirit filled life.

	They cannot separate as to their uniqueness and then present them in a
unified form. In other words, they do not have the analytical ability
which the Holy Ghost would certainly have to give you. And if you have
the Holy Ghost you certainly would have to have the analytical ability
in order to separate what we're talking about. Which is the evidence and
the manifestation of the Spirit as He comes forth uniquely in
performances and in services and so on in individual's life. Then
separated in our understanding we put them together in our daily lives
and walk before God.

23.	Now, to look at the evidence only is like recognizing a person only
by his faith and not the whole personality. That's why a marriage goes
on the rocks, because some stupid boy goes by and sees a pretty girl,
and wow, that does it. If you would have stuck around her long enough
you would have found he wouldn't take her out in a cow pasture and throw
her in a river. Just about anyway. 

	I'm trying to make a point here whether you like it or not. Simply
looking at the evidence of the baptism with the Holy Ghost and leaving
It sit there. Is too much like people recognizing somebody by their
face.  And the face is not the whole personality. Is not the whole
person.  But the face is a point of recognition.

	Now, if I had something up here, I don't really need it, [Bro. Vayle
demonstrates] if I had up here like a sheet, hanging up here, and I was
a certain individual, which I know of very well in the United States and
you know by name also. And you were a group of soldiers sitting here,
and suddenly a man in uniform behind this cloth so you cannot see him,
the arm shoots out. Aw, right away you begin to guess who is he? 

24.	Now, one fellow says, "I can tell by the way he holds his hand out,
(left hand there) curls those fingers, raises the two in a 'V' and I can
tell those battle fatigues, that's Eisenhower, absolutely. Fine, the
right hands shoots out, this time a little different. 

	"Oh, (they say) that's got to be Ike, nobody but Ike does that." 

	The right foot shoots out, "Hey, look at the way the pants are." 

	He had a certain way the crease was, that's got to be Ike. 			

	The left foot shoots out, "Oh, (they say) we're convinced it's Ike."  

	No doubt but the head comes out. "Oh, (they say) look the way the
shoulders are stooped." The cloth fits his shoulders, his body. The size
of the man. "It's got to be Ike."

	What if the face doesn't come out? "Oh, what about it?" You see
everything else, are you sure? And the face comes out, like that. What
if it was General Patton? 

	"Well, what about it?" 

25.	The face identifies. You say, "Bro. Vayle, I believe there's a
better identification."

	If you mean a finger print, yes, but not a hand that does work. If you
want to reduce it further than a face, I've heard where people tried
plastic surgery, burning their fingers and trying every conceivable way
to eradicate the print, you can't do it, except you cut it off or maim
it, way down where the print can't come back.

	But I'm going to stick to the face as the point of identification. But
the face is not all there is to it. But the face identifies, and that's
what we're talking about, evidence whether a person really has the Holy
Spirit or not. You just don't stop the air as I say with the person and
accept his face and say, "That's all there is to it."  There's more than
that to it. But there's a point of evidence or identification.

 	So, here's what I'm trying to say to you, though dynamic works of
manifestation, of the Holy Spirit are not the evidence. Those
manifestations must be amongst us. I not only identify the Spirit. but
expect out workings and manifestations from Him if He is me. I don't
only identify the Spirit filled person, but I expect manifestation from
Him.

26.	Now, let's go to Matthew 24:24 to make It very clear. This is going
to happen at the end time.

		(24) 	...there shall arise false Christs, (even lying) prophets, and
shall (show) 					great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were
possible, they shall 					deceive the very (elected.)

		(25) 	Behold, I have told you before. 

	Genuine signs and wonders, speaking in tongues and prophecy. Raising
the dead and healing the sick will be right here, and those same people
if you're going to go by anything outside the face to identify. They are
just as much full of the Holy Ghost anybody else is. Judas is just as
much elected as anybody is. Because when the command was given, "heal
the sick and raise the dead," he healed the sick and raised the dead.
(See?) So therefore, we must understand we do expect great works amongst
us. But there must be a point of identification. And the identification
is always, "is that person in the Word of the hour."

37.	Now, let me tell you something, this Word for this hour could not
have happened in any other Age but this Age. And the only reason it
happened it the first Age, because Alpha is Omega. What was back there
happens again. So, when He commissioned the twelve and sent them out,
and Judas was of the devil. Jesus said, "One of you is diabolos."  [Joh,
6:70] He never said one of you is of the devil, or one of you has a
devil. He said, "One of you is diabolos," which is, one of you is the
devil. And Judas is the original incarnation of Satan when it comes to a
total taken over person, for the devil possessed him. Satan himself. Not
some sub-devil, not some super devil, but the devil himself. And he was
literally using the power of Almighty God, at the time the sick were
being healed. I don't say he was full of the devil at that time, but he
was not one of the elected, and he did not have the Word of Almighty
God.  

38.	Korah, Dathan and Abiram were another picture. God destroyed them,
but here was the true prophet Moses. Here's another picture, Balaam
stood there, and his prophecy is still coming to pass after about four
thousand years. But Balaam was not truly a true prophet. He was truly a
prophet. Now you go back here where Jesus said, "I told you before." Is
Matthew 7: where He told them. And here's what He said:

		(15) 	Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing,
						but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

	Sheep on the outside, devils on the inside. Sheep on the outside,
wolves on the inside. Apples on the outside, brambles on the inside.
Healthy on the outside, rotten on the inside. Christ on the outside,
devil on the inside. Now, you do what you want with it, but that's the
Bible. And if you want to dispute It, you just might as well leave now,
go on home. I can't do you a bit of good. You're only going to get
madder, because I'm going to keep on saying it, because this is what the
Word of God said. Tells you right here. See, I told you before He said.

39.	 Now, He said, 

		(18) 	A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, a corrupt tree
(cannot) bring 					forth good fruit.

	Well, what's got to be down in there? The Word has got to down in
there. 

		(22)	(Look it, He said,) Many will (come and) say…Lord, have we not 
					prophesied in thy name? (can't deny it) have (we) cast out devils? 
					(can't deny it, have we) done many wonderful works? (Can't deny
it.)

		(23) 	And… (he Said) I never knew you: …(never were in the
election.)  

	So, mighty signs and wonders can be the order of the day, but the
person can be as phony as a three-dollar bill. So, they're going to keep
the face behind the screen, and you're going to put the leg and the hand
out here doing wonderful works.  "Hallelujah, that's got to be God.
Hallelujah, that's got to be God." Give him the Word test and find out.

	Now, the miracles are of God, but the person is not of God, because
we're talking what's the evidence of the man being full of the Holy
Ghost? Now, I know that people don't understand, but look it, it's
simple as a-b-c. All power is of God, and the devil has no power but
God's power which is perverted, prostituted, mutilated and messed up. 

40.	I've told you many of time, I think I've told you many times, any
congregation in America,           I can stand right here, and I got a
hand that can form a fist, or a hand that can help. Now, you're at a
river here and the river is raging, and you're holding on to a little
branch and you say, "Bro. Vayle, help me." And I look at you and I don't
like you. I can go 'pow'! And with the strength of my arm, I can sock
you right in the face and throw you in the torrent and you'll die. And
the same strength can grab you and say, "Come my brother." 

	You understand what I'm saying now?  That's what we're talking about.
You can have Christ on the outside and a devil on the inside, so to
speak. You can have men performing miracle after miracle. Gigantic
ministries, and be as phony as a three-dollar bill. I'm not here to
mention names, but I'm here to talk about the Bible.

41.	All right, now because of that we don't stand to one side and say,
"Hey, we don't need miracles." But don't say, "Who needs healing, bless
God we got the Holy Ghost. We got the Word, so hallelujah, we're just
not going to worry." Well, you better start worrying, because you got
ministries. Now, the Book of Mark chapter 16 tells us specifically, He
said, "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel."  

	Bro. Branham said, "He didn't say, 'Teach it, (he said) preach It'."
And preaching is the Word of God in power and demonstration. " 

		(16)	He that believeth (should be) baptized… he that believeth not
be 						damned.

		(17) 	And these signs (will) follow them that believe; In my name
(you're 					going to) cast out devils; (in my name (they'll) they speak
with new 					tongues;

		(18) 	(You'll) take up serpents; if they drink any deadly thing, it
(won't) hurt 					(you); (if you) lay hands on the sick, they shall
recover.

		(19)	(And then He said, I'm going back to heaven, now you take over.)

	And He sent the Holy Ghost in order to give them the Word of God
whereby, they with that Word and power vested in them could properly
worship and serve God, without which they could not do it. If they have
been given simply enduement of power, or dunamis without the revelatory
concept to the Holy Ghost, it would not work. (See?)

42.	So, we do expect it. James 5:14 still exists. "Call the elders, let
them lay hand on you. Anoint you with oil and you shall be healed. And
if you've done any sinning it's going to be forgiven."

	Why is this so? Because the same God that never changes His Name. That
is, never changes Himself, or His attributes, is the One that said over
in Exodus 15: 26 exactly Who He was. 

		(26) 	And (It) said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of
the LORD 					thy God, and wilt do that which is right…and wilt give
ear to his 						commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put
none of these diseases 					upon thee, which I have brought upon the
Egyptians: for I am the LORD 					that healeth thee.

	And remember, healing is the children's bread. There should not be a
dearth amongst us of healings, it's our own fault. And if a person goes
to see on evidence and does not realize there's a spirit manifestation
utilized amongst us, then you'll just go that way.

43.	There's an old preacher I think I told you about back in Calgary
many years ago. Laurie Reynolds, he and his wife were simply dynamite.
When you went there, people receiving the Holy Spirit, (as we understood
it back in those days) and I believe they genuinely being filled and
they'd be healed left and right. And I said, "Bro. Reynolds, I want to
ask you a question, how is it, (I said) that your church gets all kinds
of healings when the church down the road the preacher that believes in
the same thing doesn't get it?" 

	And he said, "Son, let me tell you something, you get what you preach
for. We preach for people to get the baptism with the Holy Ghost, and to
get healed and they do." And that man said a whole mouth full, he was
right. Because the Word of God is especially sets forth that those
things are to be amongst us. And they can, and will be amongst us, if we
let that sweet Spirit of Christ blow over us and get in the proper
position where we ought to be.

44.	Now, this tells us why Bro. Branham hit the Baptist at one time,
because they had no signs, and slug the Pentecostal's next time, and
they did have the signs. He could say, the Baptist is, and you don't
even believe in divine healing, and deny the power of the Holy Ghost to
perform miracles, when they’ve got the evidence here? You take the old
upper-cut, the old left-hand jab and a right hand cross, and smack him
down every time. And turn around and say, "You Pentecostal's, you think
you've got the Holy Ghost, because you speak in tongues and seen
miracles." 

	Well you say, "The guy talks out of both corners of his mouth." He'd be
a champion watermelon eater. Eat this side, spit seeds out that side and
talk through his mouth the same time. No, he wasn't any kind of a
hypocrite and a watermelon eater. He wasn't dealing in anything of
duplicity. He's just telling the truth. There ought to be signs amongst
us, there must be signs amongst us. But that's not the evidence of the
baptism with the Holy Ghost. The evidence of the baptism is believing
the Word for the hour, and the Spirit manifested life. If you've got the
Spirit will be manifesting and there will be signs and wonders amongst
us. Why shouldn't there be? God's not dead.

45.	 Secondly, though soul wining is not the evidence, yet we can and
must win souls. For if man is indeed identified and Spirit filled, he
will certainly try to win souls. We take one look at a little Scripture
over here used by many people. It's the Book of Acts 1:8.  And in here
is what Jesus is saying:   

		(8) 	But (you) shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come 
					upon you: and (you, and the word here is 'dunamis', too and you) 		
			shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, 				
	and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

	And He said, "Right here, (He said) when you are full of the Holy Ghost
you will be a witness unto Me. You'll be missionaries. You'll be out
there, winning souls."

46.	Now, let's go to the Book of Galatians 4: (and I’m not going to
read the whole portion of Scripture, verses 19-31, because it is not
necessary.) For you yourself already know what it is, it's the allegory
concerning the two Jerusalem's.  

	Now, one is Sinai, Mount Sinai in Arabia, which is typical of Jerusalem
on earth. The other is Mount Zion, which is New Jerusalem. Now, here is
what this man of God says right here. Now, verse 27,

		(27) 	For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break
forth 						and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate (that's
Hagar, the desolate) 				hath many more children than she which hath an
husband.

	And the one husband is Sarah, and she had one which was a child of
promise. Now, there can be millions of children born of the flesh into a
spiritual, religious realm. 

47.	Now, let me tell you what that is: that's over here is 1 Peter 1:23,
we've gone over this many times. 

		(23) 	Being born again, not of corruptible seed, (not of corruptible
sperma) 					but of incorruptible, (sperma, which is) the word of God,
which (lives) 					and (abides) forever.

	The same thing that John said, "wherein is Eternal Life." [John 17:3]
It's in that Word. Now, Peter says here, "Get born again, but be careful
of what you're born again." Because you can be born again of the
corruptible word, and you can be born again of the incorruptible Word,
and there will be absolutely no difference as to an outward evidence.
Now, what do you mean? Very simple, when a person get's born again he
changes. Now, a person used to drink, doesn't drink anymore.   If he
used to smoke, he doesn't smoke anymore. He used to cuss, doesn't cuss
anymore, he becomes a moral person, he goes to the Word of God in at
least a certain measure. 

48.	All right, I can get the same thing from a doctor. A fellow comes in
and he's been a high handed rough living old coot, and now the doctor
says, "I've taken your blood pressure, I've given it a complete analysis
and I want to tell you, if you lose your temper one more time, you're
gone. If you take you take one more drink you're gone, one more smoke
you're gone."

	The fellow says, "Oh doc. you don't you don't mean that."

	He said, "I mean it."

	"Well, (he said) I'm a new man."

	He doesn't take one more drink, he doesn't smoke one more cigarette,
doesn't lose his temper one more time. Doesn't smack his wife one more
time. He's a model. Is he born again? Sure, psychologically. I know
people and you know people. I've got neighbors, and I want to tell you,
being sweet and kind that man beats me a million ways, actually, he was
born that way. I wasn't. Maybe not a million ways, I could be
exaggerating, but I want to get the truth across to you.

	You know people the same as I do they positively do manifest like real
Christians. Are they born again? They're born again, but what seed are
they born of? (See?)

49.	Here's a bunch of Catholics speaking in tongues. Doing a good job
too, genuine tongues. The pope himself said, "Look, (he said) I
absolutely decree and I request, (he said, literally command) that my
priests receive the Holy Spirit and they talk in tongues." But they say,
"Hail Mary." They kiss the pope's finger, or his toe, whatever it is
they do. They count their beads, their rosaries. They take the place of
Almighty God. Pure antichrist. 

	I told you about when I was over in England last year ago October.
Peter Richards was at a meeting, (Pentecostal meeting) with the Full
Gospel Business Men there. And here's a lovely Roman Catholic priest
praying for the sick. Great ministry. And he said, "My, what a switch,
what a switch, (he said) a Roman Catholic priest praying for sick
Pentecostal's when it used to be the other way." He just smiled, he
said, "Why don't you come home to mother?" They were already there and
didn't know it. Sure.

 	You study the history, I know some of you have as I have. God back and
look at some of those great men in the Roman Catholic church and not too
many years ago. They come out shining as saints, because they've had
spiritual experiences. How can they be born again and off the Word?
Making their church the door of entrance instead of Jesus Christ. 

50.	Listen, brother/sister, soul winning is a must, but great numbers of
souls do not mean people are genuinely born again. Let's go to 1
Corinthians 6:9-11.

		(9) 	Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of
						God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor
adulterers, 					nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

		(10) 	Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor
extortioners, 					shall inherit the kingdom of God.

	Now listen, did you hear what I read? It says here, "Don't be deceived,
fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, effeminate, homosexuals, thieves,
covetous, drunkards, revilers, extortioners, thinking of God."  But It
says; 

		(11) 	And such were some of you: …

	We got the church today so messed up saying, "Should homosexuals be in
the pulpit?" No! They shouldn't be in any pulpit, that's a pulpit of
hell and the devil. And they're not born again. There won't be a
homosexual then, and they can’t get in the pulpit. I don't care if
they had a million souls saved they all looked genuine, I'm going to
tell you flat, as far as the Bible's concerned I believe I can say
honestly every last one will go to that Lake of Fire! 

		(11) 	And such were some of you: …

	Ever seen a homosexual delivered? I have, they can be delivered. They
can be delivered! 

51.	A woman came to me couldn't stand her husband. She had two children
by him and couldn't stand him. Every now and then he would shackle the
woman. She became desperate one morning. God delivered her, she was no
more a homosexual. (See?) Lutheran church, Methodist, whole bunch of
hogwash from the pit of hell. Trying to tell you, "Yes, we'll love the
homosexuals and bring them in the pulpit."  We'll love them, but…

	I like Anita Bryant, God bless her. Drink all the orange juice you can.
Especially Anita's brand.  Be like the hundreds of thousands who wrote
letters and showed these gay societies and the filth aren't going to run
this nation, or any nation. Let the people of God stand up for the Word
of God. Let them come to the Cross of Jesus Christ. Let them come to the
fountain of Blood. Let them get baptized with the Holy Ghost. They'll
not be homosexual any longer. They won't even be fighting somebody’s
inordinate disgusting passion. I've dealt with homosexuals, I'm not mad,
I'm just telling you flat. They can get saved. God can save a nut like
me, I trust then, He can save anybody, that's just put here, their carte
blanche. It says, 

		(11) 	…such were some of you: (the entire gamut, the entire
category, 						extortioners, revilers, miserable, rotten. But now He
says, you're) 						sanctified, justified in the name of the Lord Jesus,
and by the Spirit 					of our God.

	Full of the Holy Ghost. (See?) That's what we're looking at. We're
looking tonight at the fact that people can be saved, they must be saved
as long a Jesus Christ does not come for the last elected one, or we
don't know it, we should be out there casting the net. 

52.	The Book of Ephesians 4:15-16, It says, 

		(15) 	But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all
things, 						which is the head, even Christ:

		(16) 	From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by 
				that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working
					in the measure of every part, maketh increase the body the edifying
					of itself in love.

	This is the last day message, this is the end time growing up into
Christ, and they're still souls to be saved. And I'll tell you flat, the
greatest joy I have is seeing people who come out of raw heathenism get
a true salvation and full of the Holy Ghost; and they understand this
Message just like nothing. Everybody else stumbles around looking at
their former theology and can't take this, and can't take that. And they
sit and just say, "Pile it on, pile it on." They don't have a bit of
trouble. Oh, I like that. (Yeah) 

53	Proverbs 11:30, let's find out what It says.   

		 (30) 	…he that winneth souls is wise.  

	Now, hold that in mind, and we're going to go right to the Book of
Daniel and we're going to go right to the last chapter, and we're going
hear exactly what is said to a people in the very end time, and we'll
take the first 4 verses.

		(1) 	And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which 	
				(stands) for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time 	
				of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that 
					same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every 		
			one that shall be found written in the book.

		(2) 	And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall
(arise, 						and) some to everlasting life, and some to shame and
everlasting 						contempt.

		(3) 	And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the
firmament; 					and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars
for ever and ever.

	The last chapter, for the last Age commends, not only commends and not
only requests, but commands as a penalty, loss of rewards and position,
if you don't win souls. Soul must be won to the Lord Jesus Christ.

54.	 Thirdly, we're going to look at fruit, and this is the same as the
rest. We go to Galatians                       5:22-23, and here is what
It says:

		(22) 	But the fruit of (these) Spirit is love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, 						gentleness, goodness, faith,

		(23) 	Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 

	Doesn't say one thing about teaching. Doesn't say a thing about
knowledge. In other words, you could have all this fruit and no
knowledge. Just kind of a quiet person raised amongst the Hindus. How
come India is a graveyard of missionaries? Because the missionaries went
there and they saw what would be a higher form of Christianity what they
saw over here.

	I had a couple of buddies go over there. The one fellow Baptist
preacher. We though he's full of the Holy Ghost. We found out he wasn't,
because he couldn't take it when he got there. He came back eulogizing
Hinduism. And the man he was with was formerly a Baptist preacher. He
quit the seminary, gone into business. He went over there, and he came
back completely turned around. He said, "My God, they show more without
God than we show with God, they got to have more somewhere, something's
wrong somewhere."  Something was wrong somewhere, it wasn't wrong what
he got. Yes sir, a graveyard of preachers.

55.	I don't care how beautiful people are, and they should be beautiful,
this is not the evidence. Let me show you over here in 2 Corinthians
6:6. 

		(6) 	By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the 
					Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,

	There is a genuine love and there's a feigned love, and you can't tell
the difference on the surface. Love is love whether it's of God, the
fruit of the Spirit, or something else. I'm not talking about carnality
now. 

56.	Let's prove it. 1 Peter 1:22, another Scripture, the verse preceding
the one I read a while ago.

		(22) 	Seeing (you) have purified your souls in obeying the truth
through 						the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, …

	In other words, there can be a feigned love, an imitation love, a
put-on love. It'll look just as good as the other.

57.	Let's go to Romans 12:9

		(9) 	Let love be without… (hypocrisy. The word dissimulation is
pocrisy.) 					Let love be without (hypocrisy.) 

	In other words, it could be a pure case of seduction. You can show all
kinds of love to get your point. (See?) Genuine love and a phony love.
But love is not the evidence. Bro. Branham mentioned, Christian Science
and he's true. They'll manifest more love then many a Christian will
ever manifest. He talked about the kind old priest who was so good,
who'd help the family in difficulties. Settled their problems, given
them financial aid. But he was one of the people that renegade Jesus
cast out of the temple and beat him up doing it. Now, I want to know how
you can ever reconcile love with a sock in the jaw, or whip on the back?
Now, Jesus didn't sock him on the jaw, but he whipped him on the back.

58.	Now, you enough people here, you're old enough to know a little bit
about farming.  Some of you kids will know the first thing about, but
your parents do anyway. What we used to do is use binder twine in order
to make the [hay] bundles. Now, you know that a rope burn, or a twine
burn is about as dirty a burn as you can get. Now, you just image Jesus
taken binder twine and making sure the thing was really a 'cat of nine',
one nice lash deal, and then He goes whap across the arm, then He pulls
the rope like this, and you just see that skin tear off.  You've got one
of the prettiest burns you've ever seen. How much love did He show then?

	How much love did He show when He healed one person and bypassed
hundreds? How much love did He show when He raised just a few dead, and
bypassed thousands? Now you see, you're getting into a place now where
you're soul winning, and your fruit, and your manifestations goes plumb
down the drain.  If you're talking about the evidence of the Holy Ghost,
because Jesus was the Holy Ghost in flesh, all of It. But people forget,
He's the Word. Then if you're going to have the Holy Ghost, the true
Holy Ghost, He's got to be Word, and that which comes out of the Word.
So, here we get evidence and manifestation neatly analyzed, and
synthesized if you only understand It.

59.	Now, consider worship and service. How could anybody do either one,
because He said, "They that worship Me, must worship me in Spirit and in
Truth." Now, He said there's got to be worship. Remember, there's coming
a day when every knee is going to bow, and every tongue is going to
confess to the glory of God that Jesus is the Christ. But it will not be
by the Holy Spirit. It'll be by a compulsion. I want you to notice
though there is a compulsion here that there must be a worship. And He
said, "They that worship must do it in Spirit and in Truth." [John 4:23]

	Now, where are you going to get it?  You're going to get It by the Holy
Spirit Himself, Who is the Life of that Word, and He bringing that Word
to us, will cause that Word to be manifested. And any manifestation
outside of that Word of God, or the Holy Spirit working outside of that
Word, cannot be an evidence of that person being baptized with the Holy
Ghost. So, I don’t care if he's got all the love in the world looks
like. And I don't care if he's winning all the souls in the world looks
like. And I don't care if he's got all the power looks like. If that man
is not in accord with the Word of the hour, as brought by the servant of
the Age, that person cannot be baptized with the Holy Ghost. I know
that's hard. But I'm sorry, I did not write the Bible. (See?)

 	How can one worship and serve God? It's as Bro. Branham said, "You can
only worship and serve God on earth, see, as God's servants sent on
earth by Divine inspiration and interpret the Word to you." There's no
other way. There's no other way to worship and serve God.

60.	Now remember, God Himself has always been in manifestation. I think
here is where people don't understand. Let's go back to the Book of
Romans 1:18. Now, It says:

		(18) 	For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all
ungodliness 					and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in
unrighteousness;

	In other words, they do not give respect for that Spirit given Word.
Now listen:

		(19) 	Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for 
					God hath shewed it unto them.

	How has God done it?  God always manifesting.

		(20) 	For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world
are 						clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made,
even 						his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without
excuse:

	So therefore, God in nature and God in human beings has been constantly
manifesting Himself. So therefore, there can be a conscious deliberate,
continuous, manifestation of Almighty God in what appears to be soul
winning, and fruit, and worship, and service, and manifestation and
everything else. But the person himself is not born of God. Because you
see, the rest is a manifestation.

61.	It's as Bro. Branham said, "If I give you my pen, I do not give you
myself. I give you my pen as a gift." Many people can have gifts of the
Holy Ghost, and not have the baptism with the Holy Ghost. There's where
Pentecost made its great mistake. They said, "Well, how can anybody
speak in tongues, they don't have the Holy Ghost?" Because it's a gift!
It's an anointing, not the Holy Spirit Himself. If that were the case,
anybody healed then have the Holy Ghost automatically.  

	You could go through Oral Roberts prayer line. Bro. Branham if he were
here, or A.A. Allen if he were here, anybody at all, and then you have
an anointing. If the Spirit of God healed you, you'd say, "I've got the
Holy Ghost, hallelujah." No, you don't have the Holy Ghost, hallelujah.
A gift of healing was in operation, and you got healed. The evidence my
brother/sister is definitive. But there's manifestation. (See?) 

62.	 Now, let's bring it all together, (hopefully) 2 Peter 1:1-12

		(1) 	Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them
that 						have obtained like precious faith with us through the
righteousness 						of God and our (Lord) Jesus Christ:

	Now remember, Christ is the righteousness of God, the power of God.
He's been baptized with the Holy Ghost through the work of Jesus.

		(2) 	Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge 				
	of God, and of our Lord (Jesus Christ),

		(3) 	According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that 
					pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that 
					called us to glory and virtue:

	And It says, "All the things of God are available to us through the
knowledge of Him, through the revelatory power of the Holy Ghost." There
is nothing that God cannot, and will not do through us, and for us and
to us. Now:

		(4) 	Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: 
				that by these (we) might be partakers of the divine nature, having 	
				escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

		(5) 	And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue;
virtue 					knowledge;

		(6) 	And to knowledge temperance; temperance patience; patience 					
godliness;
