Three Basic Principles Of Scripture

 

Bro. Lee Vayle

November 29, 1987

 

Shall we pray.  Gracious Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your
Presence, Lord.  We know You said You’d never leave us nor forsake us.
 We believe that’s the promise, Lord, concerning each individual in
whom the spirit of life is, but we believe at this endtime  It’s even
a greater promise to this Church, the Bride, to whom Bro. Branham said,
“The Pillar of Fire will lead us into the Millennium.”  Lord, we
know that You came down with a shout and we have no record, no
intimation that you ever left us.  Believing that the prophet said,
“You came down, Holy Spirit to set Yourself at the head of the church
in order to raise the dead.”  And You also said, You are the One that
took us up there with the trump, Lord.  

How grateful we are, Lord, that this is all in Your hands, and You are
doing it.  And our identification with You, Lord, is through this Word. 
We’re so grateful to know then that everything that has been
predestinated from Your hand for us is ours today, O God.  And we can
believe it, Lord.  We can walk right into it.  And Father, we thank You
that we believe that we have done that already.  

Now help us in our minds, Lord, in our hearts, our very souls, to be
illuminate in this time.  Take away every doubt, O God, but yet we want
a guard set there by Your Own precious spirit, that nothing will be said
from these lips, Lord, and nothing heard in the ears that shall be
irregular or anything, Lord, contrary, but rather onto edifying.  Now,
Father, may if it’s  necessary, may there be warning.  But above all,
we know that warning is of no value, even as we know problems are no
good, unless somebody’s got an answer.  And warnings are no good
unless somebody’s got a safety device, Lord.  And we believe You have
it today for us.  So we can just concentrate now, and consecrate as
never before and give You the praise.  In Jesus Name.  Amen.  You may be
seated.

1.	Now this morning, I want to bring a little message.  And I can cut it
short or cut it long.  I can take Terry’s jelly beans and...  That’s
what I started already.  Took a little scoop and now we just keep
adding.

The thought this morning is the Three Basic Scriptural Laws that we
could look at.  Now when Bro. Branham preached ‘Christ is Revealed in
His Own Word’, he cautioned us that no man could correctly divide the
Word of God, unless he adhered to three definite principles.

 

	 1. 	He must never misinterpret the Word.  

	 2. 	He must never misplace the Word.  

	 3. 	He must never dislocate the Word.  

And he then proceeded to show how completely one would be deceived if he
refused to follow the specific admonitions; especially expressed in
number 1, where he illustrated that if you make Jesus the Word, you make
three gods.  Now, that may sound strange, but that is absolutely true. 
Because if you make Jesus the Word, then you have three gods, because
the Bible says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word is with
God, and the Word was God.”  

2.	Now, he defined who Jesus was.  He said, Jesus was the fulness of the
attributes of God.  Then why not leave it there?  You see what I mean? 
Bro. Branham so correctly said, (that) “If you make Jesus the Word,
then he said you got three gods.”  Why?  Because “In the beginning
was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”  And if
Jesus is the Word, then Jesus is God and vise versa, back and forth. 
And that’s not so.  See?  

Now you let me stump you, but the point is, it’s very simple.  The God
Almighty, the Creator, simply approached Mary; He had sent a messenger,
and He said, “The Holy Ghost will come upon thee, and the Presence of
God Himself.”  God there created the sperm and the egg.  Now, the
point is, what life did He put in that sperm and egg?  He put a portion
of His Own spirit.  So this was the only begotten and indeed the Son of
God, but it wasn’t God, it was the Son of God.  

3.	Now at the River Jordan, God came into Him.  See?  Now, one day they
said to Jesus,

“Good Master.”

  And He said, “Why do you call me good?  There’s none good but
God.” 

 He denied it.  Then He turned right around and said, “He that has
seen Me, has seen the Father.” 

 Why?  For the simple reason, you cannot see spirit.  And so God had to
have a manifestation and a manifestor.  So He took a little bit of life;
He put some chemistry to it, and the life began to develop the
chemistry.  And what happened?  A son of God.  He’s the image of God. 
An image is not the real thing.  So, but God came in him.  Now, He stood
at the grave side of Lazarus and he wept; that was a man. 

“Lazarus come forth;” that was God.  

“So I can’t figure it.” 

 Who asked you to?  You believe it.  The prophet said,  “If you
misinterpret the Word.”  Now, he said, “If you go ahead then and
misplace the Word, you got Moses preaching Noah’s message.”

 Forget it.  See?  If you dislocate the Word, you take it from the
subject matter and you get all mixed up.  

4.	Now people have misinterpreted. 1 Th 4:16.  They say, absolutely the
rapture is the appearing.  I got news for you.  The appearing is now,
and precedes the rapture.  So, these are the things that Bro. Branham
said.  Now, he then, he showed us, but I am not going to speak on those
things, because he already spoke on them.  

What I’m going to speak on are three principles that I’ve discovered
in Bro. Branham’s teaching.  Now, there are many more, but there are
three that I’ve discovered that I believe give us definite spiritual
knowledge, understanding, confirm the Word of God to us and help us to
be steadfast in this Word of God; the three principles.  And those three
principles of which I speak are these:  

	1. 	The Alpha and Omega principle.

	2. 	The Parallelism of Scripture principle,  

	3.  	The Theorem or vindication principle.  

5.	Now, to begin with, [Number 1] let us take the Alpha and Omega
principle.

	

	And that, of course, is found over in the book of Revelation, as you
well know, and the 1st chapter.  And we start perhaps about, well, it
would be 1-20.  I’m not going to read 1-20.  All I’m going to say is
this:  In verse 8 it says; 

(8)	I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, 

saith the Lord, which is, and was, and which is to come. 

Now look it, let’s face it.  That’s not a metamorphosis.  And
that’s not one beginning and one stopping and one going on.  “This
is the great becoming God.”  I love Bro. Branham’s expression. 
Nobody, but nobody could say what he said and how he said it.  Even his
language which was fritterful--that’s a new word I just coined.  You
know, Kentucky hillbilly-ite, flawless, flawless.  The very word he used
‘becoming’, it’s marvelous in Scripture.  Because it’s God
becoming.  See?  Changing a mask.  Adapting Himself, as it were. 

6.	 Now, notice, I used the term ‘adapting Himself, as it were;’
accommodating Himself to every condition which he foreknew for His
glory.  So you see, watch my language, it’s bizarre, but it’s true
language. I’m careful what I’m saying.  

This great beautiful One that we’re looking to this morning. 

 “I’m Alpha, I’m Omega, I’m the beginning, I’m the ending,
which is and which was and which is to come.” 

 Notice, He says, “Which is now.”  It was way back there and you
missed it. 

 And He said, notice, “I’m the One which is to come.” 

 	Now, watch, you understand what we’re saying.  The people standing
there were looking at ‘which is’, and they didn’t relate to
‘which was’, and they missed it.  Alpha and Omega principle.  You
follow me?  He said if you’d have known Moses, you’d have known Me. 
What about Moses?  

“I was in the burning bush.”  

“ Oh my, really?” 

Notice, some were of Paul, they said, “No way.” 

 I said, “Really?  Hey, this is inspiring.” 

 What did He mean?  The inquiring, righteous mind never hurt anybody. 
It is a questioning, human mind that destroys you.  That’s right. 
Your mind’s a good thing, brother, or God would not have given it to
you.  

 7.	All right.  Come on, we got to get going here. 18:  [Revelation]

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

Now it tells you right here that this one here: Heb13: 8 

	(8)	 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and for ever.

8.	And we go over here just to prove it and we put it together with
Ecclesiastes and I’m sure it’s the 3rd chapter 14 and 15. 

 

I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever:  

nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it:  

(That’s like the Word, revelation) and God doeth it, that 

men should fear him.

  

And that which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already
been;

 and God requires that which is past.

It, when you put Alpha and Omega together with this, the ever unchanging
God with unchanging ways, He is Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and
today, and for ever.  The Jesus   of the New Testament is Jehovah of the
Old Testament.  

9..	I was talking to Roger the other night, and Roger was just thrilled,
running across what Bro. Branham said, he called Him Jehovah Elohim. 
Elohim was the Great One.  El, Elo, the strong one who is bound by an
oath.  The invisible great God, now relating Himself to mankind and the
seven redemptive titles of Jehovah.  Jehovah Elohim.  God came into
human form down here.  Same, yesterday, today and for ever.  

Now, as Bro. Branham gave us the key he explained what he had in mind. 
And he--that we should see what he had in mind like, concerning Alpha
and Omega.  And what we were to see applies specifically and
predominantly to this hour, though the principle runs all through
Scripture and through all ages.  You see, because He’s teaching us in
this hour.  And so therefore Alpha and Omega applies specifically to
this age.  Then if He said it applies specifically, what parts applies? 
The Omega part.  Right?  And of course, there has to be some reference
to the Alpha.  Right?  Because, because he never changes.  See?  And
remember, the revelation is at the end.  It’s the last book.  See? 
And remember, as Bro. Branham said, “If you find it in Revelation, you
got to find it in Genesis, or you’re finding something wrong.”  

10.	Now he said, “If you find it in Genesis and can’t find it in
Revelation, there’s something wrong with your thinking.”  But
that’s all there is to it.  So, he told us when we see the very same
event transpire, or the very same events, whichever, that were in the
beginning, we know that it is the end because Alpha’s Omega.  See?  It
comes full cycle.  It really does.  When Genesis history repeats itself,
it designates the end.  It does because Alpha’s Omega.  Genesis means
beginning.  Revelation means ending.  Why?  Because it’s the seventh
seal.  That which is perfect is come--Revelation--Seventh seal is
revelation.  But of course, it has components.  What are the two
components?  Three components?  God- prophet- us.  Yeah.  It’s that
simple.  

11.	Okay.  Also, if we knew what took place back there, we can look for
it if that’s the hour to see it.  And if we see it, then we know
it’s the time.  

See, that’s what’s wrong with so many people, when they thought that
different ones were Elijah and they weren’t Elijah at all.  They  got
it all mixed up.  Like many, you know, back in 1977, so many people
thought that, well, this was it.  Now ‘77 no doubt was a great year
for some reason or other, but they said to me,  “Well, Bro. Vayle,
what about it?” 

 I said, “No way, because the signs aren’t in.”

  Now that’s what Bro. Branham taught.  I was taught by Bro. Branham;
you were taught by Bro. Branham.  The signs aren’t in so the signs
aren’t in.  That’s not it.  

So, it means that at the endtime there will be conditions that repeat,
that were in the first time.  And you will see what God did about it
back there, you know He’s going to do it here.  That’s exactly. 
What--I know people don’t believe that, but I’m sorry for ‘em. 
That’s the way it is.  

12.	So, let’s take an example.  In Genesis 6, the entire earth was so
corrupt that God had to destroy it by a flood.  At the end, God is going
to destroy the earth by a fire.  So we better go back to Genesis 6 and
pick it up; 1-5.

      It came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face 

of the earth, and daughters were born unto them.

      That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they

were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

Now, I want to tell you something.  I don’t want...  Now look it,
don’t let any sister think I’m reflecting on you.  I am not.  This
is the Bible.  Women are brought into pre-eminence here, and they’re
causing problems.  Eve caused a problem in the Garden of Eden.  Now you
sisters are not causing problems.  I’m just wanting you to type the
church and understand what’s going on.  

13.	I went in the bar the other night there and I wanted to get a drink
of gingerale.  You could see the same girl coming through here, so
there’s no problem.  And you know, I felt sick for that poor little
girl.  I’d no more desire for her than I would have, you know, to
climb off a cliff and just jump in the water.  And I thought, my God,
isn’t it pitiful what men have done to her and this age have done to
that beautiful little girl, dressed so enticingly in the wrong way?  And
all I could do is feel sorry for her.  And you know, I’m not saying,
well, “Vayle is a nice man.”  I’m looking...  Come on, get that
out of your flat heads.  But I had to feel sorry for that woman.  

But I’m trying to show you something here, see?  Now this thing runs
all the way through the Bible.  That’s what Bro. Branham said,  “You
watch the condition women are in, you see the church; you watch where
Israel is, the Jews, and you see the time.” 

14.	Now, you can see it everywhere.  So, we got a little warning here.  

 	And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with

 man, for he is also flesh:  

Now, what is He striving about man?  Over the women.  Right.  What’s
ruined so many things today in the world?  Now, it’s not the sisters
here, just let’s understand please, and be objective.  I am objective
this morning.  I am not being subjective, I’m teaching up here in a
neutral position.  

 	All right, he said, “Their days are going to be shortened.”  Do
you think maybe these short skirts mean we’re shortening the days?  I
hope so.  I hope so.  They’ve about got all their clothes off now.  

    There were giants in the earth in those days; also after that, 

    the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and bear 

                      them children, (and they) became  mighty  men of
old, men                         		          of renown.

    And God saw the wickedness of (the) man (upon) the earth,

    that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was 

                      only continual  evil  (And that’s it.)

 	Now, with that we go to 11 and 13.

    And the earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth 

                       was filled with violence.

Now listen, for I have already told you about this; watch the sequence. 
The earth was corrupt and violence came.  Bro. Branham said, there’s
nothing left in the earth, the body has turned to mush, and therefore
the brain has.  Everybody can prove by natural science that  these hyper
kids, and these criminals and everybody else, you put ‘em on a proper
diet, they begin to smarten up and become decent citizens.  Bro. Branham
believed in living right and eating right.  

15.	Now let’s get a little notice here, brother/sister.  Some of  you
think you can live like hogs, and then be like sheep.  You’re entirely
wrong.  Violence came because there was no nourishment left in the soil.
 The earth was corrupted.  It’s not talking now, brother/sister, 
about people being corrupted and then do  violent things.  It says,
“The earth was corrupted and out of that came people being violent.”
 And the Bible said, “For this reason, I’m going to destroy those
that destroyed the earth.”  And America has done the foremost job in
history to destroy the earth and South America is right behind us.  The
rain forests are going.  Everything conspires to the great tribulation
which is going to come, a lot by natural causes.  Right.  Scientists are
afraid right now.  

16.	All right.  Now, let’s go to Revelation, chapter 17:1-6.  Because,
we’re right here at the endtime.  

      There came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials,

and talked with me, saying , Come hither; I’ll show thee the great    
                    whore that sitteth upon many waters:

      With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication,	

     (Oh, right back to a sex problem, that’s idolatry; false
doctrine; 

Jezebel religion) the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk     
                   with the wine of her fornication.

Now, you have a spiritual ferment coming on as well as a mental
degradation and a spiritual degradation.  You have a spiritual wrong
spiritual ferment.  Yes.  False anointed, the whole bunch getting very
happy; very, very strung out.  They’re drunk.  They’re drunk on
their own inspiration.  

(3)	He carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness:  (You got to
get                   away from all to see it) and I saw a woman sit
upon a scarlet coloured                    beast, full of names of
blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.                (That’s
what Daniel saw.  That’s Babylon.)

      And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour and

decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden

            cup in her hand full of abominations, the filthiness of her 

                        fornication:  (That’s her idolatry, her wrong
doctrine.)

      And upon her forehead was written (this, )MYSTERY,

      BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS

AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

      And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints,

 and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus:  and when I saw her,

 I wondered with great admiration.

17.	Now we know, and you know as well as I do, that there have been some
mighty terrible purges against Christians.  And we’ve seen it through
the ages; and which mostly the Catholic church was in it, predominantly,
but also some Protestants.  And so therefore, the whole church system is
full of the blood of the saints of the martyrs, the great ecumenical
system.  

 	Now let’s understand this, brother/sister, when one company joins
another company, normally it takes on that company’s name and its
liabilities and its assets, because it’s joined up.  When the
Protestants, Catholic get together, they take on each other’s
liabilities, and their assets if they got any, and they’re all one. 
So you’re looking at the ecumenical move right here.

18.	All right.  Now let’s take a look at this church what happens;
Revelation 18.  

      After these things I saw another angel come down from heaven,

having great power; and the earth was lightened with( their) glory.

      And He cried with a mighty voice, strong voice, saying, Babylon

the great is fallen, is fallen, (notice double and) become the 

habitation of devils, and the hold  of every foul spirit, and

the cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 

(Look, they took it all in.  They took it all in.)

Now look, you might think I’m taking a crack at the Catholic church. 
I want you to just hold your peace.  I have books at home and I can
prove to you categorically, wherever the Catholic church is gone, they
have allowed the people that have been converted to them, to maintain
their own type of idolatry.  It’s in South America, it’s in the
Islands, it’s every place.  That’s exactly why you cannot put a new
patch on an old garment.  That’s why the old husband’s got to die,
die, die.  And if you cannot rid your thoughts and your concepts, and if
I cannot, we will not be regenerated; we will not make the rapture.  You
say what you want, I’m telling you the Scripture.  Go any way you
want.  It’s your business.  I’m going this way, you bet your life I
am.  

19.	I think I’m the first one in this message to learn what it is to
denude the mind--sitting under a prophet four and a half hours to get
the answer on one point.  And I’ve got a patience that hardly
anybody’s got in  this world, outside of a saint of God and I’m not
much of a saint at that, but I’m a teacher.  I can wait ten, and
twenty, twenty-five years for one answer.  I’ve done it.  You better
watch your step, brother/sister.  

      All nations (Gentiles) are drunk of the wine of the wrath of

her fornication, (Notice, the inspiration that brings wrath

because of fornication) the kings of the earth have committed

                        fornication with her, and the merchants of the
earth are waxed

rich with the abundance of her delicacies.

20.	America’s constitution forbids the state and the church to go
together.  Why have we entertained the pope of Rome?  And if the
archbishop of Canterbury comes, we’ll entertain him.  You say,
“Well, what it is, we’re just being nice.”  What did God say?  

      Come out of her, my people, 

 Oh you think I should say,  “Come out of her, my people.”

 I said, “Come out of her, my  people.” This is the Judge, and
He’s not kindly disposed towards insolence or obstinacy.

 (4)	 ... (and) be not partakers of her sins, that ye  receive not      
                              	of her plagues.

21.	What is her sin?  The wine of fornication.  A wrong inspiration.  A
wrong understanding.  A wrong entering into the things of God, that’s
where it is.  But everybody  enters into the things of God.  Who
doesn’t?  “In Him we live and move and have our very being.” 
Without Him we have no breath.  Where do you think life comes from?  Who
maintains it?  All things were made by Him and all things consist or are
maintained by Him.  Let’s understand Scripture.  

(5)   	For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath

remembered her iniquities.  (In other words, it’s time for judgment.)

(6)       Reward her even as she rewarded you, double unto her

double according to her works:  in the cup which she hath

filled fill to her double.

     How much she lived gloriously herself, and lived deliciously, so
much

           torment and sorrow give her:  for she saith in her heart, I
sit a queen,

 and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.  

22.	That’s the church system that I talked about that’s with us
today, even this message where the clergy brutalizes the people and
takes everything from them.  Why don’t they give something back for a
change?  Too bad they don’t.  This church has brutalized the people. 
And said,

 “I sit as a queen.”  In other words, “I’m the wife of God, the
King.” 

 That’s what she says.  That’s what she said.  God didn’t say so. 
She said, 

“I’m no widow.” 

 Who is it that liveth?  God lives.  So she said, “I’m not a widow. 
I’m married to 

the one that lives.” 

 She said, “I’m that one.  And I’ll see no sorrow; I won’t go
through the tribulation.”  

Therefore, because she said it, rich increased in goods and don’t lack
a thing.  And that is not the Roman Catholic church.  That is everybody.
 

23.	I’ve got no axe to grind with one church or the other.  I’m just
telling you what the Bible says.  And I want to get out of the whole
stinking mess.  I don’t want a part with it.  I don’t want anything
to have to do with them, what they believe or anything else they commend
or anything else.  I want to be shook and free, period.  You say,
“Well you’re just a loner.”  You bet your sweet life I’m a
loner.  I’ll walk with Jesus down through the valleys.  I’m happy. 
I’ll walk through the hilltops, the high tops, fine and dandy.  And if
by the grace of God, and I mean it, I’m cast into dungeon by the grace
of God, I’ll be happy.  And I’ll be content with my lot.  See?  I
won’t see any sorrow.

     Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and 

mourning, and famine; be utterly burned with fire:  for 

strong is the Lord God that judged her. 

That’s exactly Noah, exactly Noah’s day.  They knew not until the
door was closed.  They saw the ark in building, that they did. 
There’s no doubt about it, they saw it.  They misinterpreted it. 

24.	With that we read Luke 17.  Can you sit here for about three and a
half hours?  That’s nice of you, but I can cut a lot of it.  I’ll
just drop some of it off.  One example is really enough.  But there’s
some interesting material here, I might maybe just get into.  

All right. 26 - 30.

     As it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be in the days of the

Son of man.

     	They ate, they drank, they married wives, given in marriage,

 until the day that Noe entered the ark, (Now I want you to notice

 here, “The day of the Son of man” lasts until the Bride is
completely 

 sealed up and goes) and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

      Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they (ate,) they
drank, 

 they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

(29)	 But that very same day Lot went out of Sodom, (brimstone          
                  		destroyed.)

(30)	 Even thus... in the day of the Son of man is revealed. (Now
notice,                         Sodom is  brought into it, as well as
the flood.)

25.	Now watch, the world was destroyed by water first, then at Sodom the
fire fell.  But today it’s reversed.  Sodom will drown--west coast go
down--then the earth will burn.  But it’s still water and fire. 
Right?  Only this time it’s, instead of fire or water--fire, it’s
well it was water back there and fire and is also this day.  You see 
the water again, you see the fire.  It’s a sequence.  

Now, the Sodom condition of the world tips us off.  Over ten per cent of
the male population of America is homosexual, and that’s under cover
pretty well.  The tip of the iceberg.  What is it there--some are
heterosexual, not too many; many are bisexual.  The whole thing is a
mess.  

26.	Now, it is the endtime.  And I say this because the conditions we
have today are identical to the book of Romans as it was in the days of
the flood.  The 1st chapter of Romans, we read this many, many times;
and it says in verse 18.

      For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all 

ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth

in unrighteousness. 

 Then in other words, they keep it back, they hold it down, they won’t
let it out.  

So therefore, in the time of Noah, with the prophet, they had a
monumental truth.  In the time when you know it of Abraham, they had a
monumental truth, because God Himself was there.  And He was there on
both occasions.  And  that the truth was held down.  It could not get
out.  Now what is holding down the truth today?  When Bro. Branham came
on the scene it was the organization, they held it down.  Now it says,
the wrath of God is come and got to come from heaven.  What came from
heaven?  Water came from heaven.  Fire came from heaven.  Going to be
the same thing.  

)     Because  what that which may be known of God is manifested

manifest in them for God has showed it to them.

)     For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are
clearly

seen, being understood by the things that are made, (and so on.)

 	And it says in 21,

     Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as 

God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, 

                        and their foolish heart was darkened.

27.	I want to ask you a question.  How is it that anybody gets to know
God?  There’s only one answer.  By a prophet.  Now you  can say,
“Well, I got the Holy Ghost.” 

Now listen, fellow, just please simmer down, eh?  You’re going by this
book, when you talk that way.  Because no other book talks that way.  I
want to ask you a question.  Who brought this book?  Who interprets the
book?  Anytime a prophet comes the people know God.  

(22)	Professing themselves to be (soffists) [wise] they became fools.

(23)     Changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made

like corruptible man, four-footed beasts, and everything else. 

(That’s in this hour.)

     Wherefore God gave them up to uncleanness (notice what

happened, uncleanness) lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour

 their own bodies between themselves:

      And changed the truth of God into the lie, worshipped and 

served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed 

for ever (and so on).

28.	You got the same conditions today and the tip-off of the conditions
is the Sodom condition, because the Sodom condition is named here.  That
it says here, 

(26)	(They changed the use of women) into that which was against        
               	nature:

     And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of women, 

burned in their lust (toward men;) men working (with themselves,) 

that which was unseemly, (that’s homosexuality, sodomy) and 

receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which (is)       
                	meet.  

Cure AIDS, something else will hit you.  Get rid of homosexuality, you
got a chance.  And you’re not going to get rid of it.  You’re not
going to get rid of it.  Prepare yourself for more and more of it.  Why?
 Because that’s the Word of God.  Don’t fool with me,
brother/sister.  Some half-baked doctor tell you something.  

The doctors I got to go to, I got to explain my case and you almost tell
them what to do.  They sure don’t mind taking your money.  I went to
one doctor the other day, and he said, “Well, the thing with you is
the trigger points here, we’ll use novocaine and some other things,
and anesthetize it and then he said this will help.”  

And so I helped him, so by after paying two hundred and fifty dollars
for five treatments, I go up Sunday morning, wake up and just as bad as
ever.  I go back and He says, “We made a mistake?”  He said, “We
didn’t hear the rest of the tape.” 

What are my three hundred bucks or so buy with, two hundred and
fifty-three dollars?  What did it buy for him?  I don’t know.  The
baby a new crib?  Daughter a new violin?  Or part of a holiday?  But he
didn’t say, “Here is your money back.” 

 Doctors act like God, nurses act like the Bride of Christ.  I’ve got
a bone to pick with you, you bet your sweet life.  You’re too much
like some preachers I know.  Well, that was enough said on that subject.
 

29.	Now notice, this is the endtime.  Tipped off by the Sodom condition,
which we saw here in the book of Romans.  Exactly like before the flood
it is now.  So it is the endtime.  Now notice, God judged the earth, in
Genesis 6.  Then there was a Sodom judgment.  In other words, God judged
Sodom in Gen 18:25.  And you notice at that time that Abraham said, 

“Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?” 

 So all right, Alpha is Omega.  So the Judge has got to be here because
nobody can judge the earth.  Because why?  Because He is the King of the
earth.  

But the church says, “I am the queen, and I’ll talk for the King.”


 Oh, that’s the way women do it all the time.  They talk for the man. 
Started in the garden of Eden.  Satan came to her and said, “Well
isn’t it so?” 

 She said, “Yes, yes, yes, yes yes.”  

Adam went right along, “Yes dear, yes dear, yes dear.”  The Judge of
all.  

30.	Let’s go to James, the 5th chapter.  I love the girls, you know I
do.  I’m a lady’s man in that respect.  I’ve got sympathy and love
for them, but God help us.  Look, brother/sister, this is no time to
fool around.  So, husband, you don’t know if you’re going to save
your wife.  And wife, you don’t know if you’re going to save your
husband.  

Okay, listen.  It says in Jas 5: 7th verse. 

(7)       Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. 

(That’s the Presence, the Parousia.)  Behold the husbandman

waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience 

for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.” 

 It tells you right there that the husbandman, and he’s the one that
does the planting and the sowing, all those things, and the nurturing
that we are to wait for His Presence.  Why?  Because that’s the time
of the harvest.  He wants something.  

31.	Listen, every parable in the Bible says when He comes He wants
something.  Give me my money, give me my pounds.  Give me this, give me
that.  He wants something.  Now remember, the patience of God in the
time of Noah.  He’s down here right now and He’s still patient. 
What’s He wanting?  He wants His Own, that’s us, hallelujah.  He’s
right here for the former and the latter rain.  The rain of power,
r-a-i-n, and the rain of teaching, which is information, which is
revelation.  He’s here for it.  “Be you also patient:  stablish your
hearts:  for the literal after the appearing is right at hand.” Now be
careful. 

 In other words, learn to come together, stop complaining and come
together.  In other words, you say, “Well, Bro. Vayle, that’s the
trouble, these people complain.” 

 Then shut up and you stop doing things that make us complain.  I’m
not a bellyacher.  I’m not a complainer.  I fought the good fight of
faith.  But I get sick and tired of people who cause complaints.  I
spoke by divine revelation.  And you know what?  I never thought that
thought before.  

32.	Prophet said, “I want to marry a girl who loves me enough as I
love her.  She’ll mend my shirts and do the washing, cook my meals,
take care of the babies.  She’ll love me as I’ll go out and my hands
will bleed for her.” 

 I can see people bleeding hands for a woman that slops around like a
hog.  Enough said.  And stop doing things that cause people to complain.
 Do unto others as you’d have others do unto you and there’ll be no
more grudging.  Thank you, Bro. Vayle, that was well said. 

 Now it says, “I am going to put it my way--quit doing those things
that cause complaints.”  

Now listen, surely we’re not a people that want to belly-ache over
nothing.  I know we won’t bury the dead horse.  Now I’ll admit to
that.  I’m honest, I think, I hope.  I wish we’d bury the axe, but
not in somebody’s skull.  Stop doing things against each other, stop
being this and stop being that.  Just live a good life before people. 
That’s what I say.  

33.	I’ll never withhold communion from anybody like Bro. Branham,
unless you’re in gross immorality.  Because I want to help you.  And I
cannot help by withholding, because cursed is the man that does
withhold.  But you got to be the judge of your own heart, to say, 

“I can do this or that.”  And when you do, remember, you better do
the things that don’t condemn you.

 “Because happy is the man that condemneth not himself in the things
he allows.”  

Now he doesn’t get just a guilty conscience, but God’s on his tail. 


“All things are lawful, all things are not expedient:  all things are
lawful, I’ll not be brought under the power of any.”   [1 Cor 6:12]

34.	Now, we got to stand here not doing bad  and so there’s no talk
and we’re not fussing either.  We’re all trying to do good, in honor
preferring, going the extra mile.  And taking care of the weak,
upholding the weak, and doing those things that are right until we get a
better order. 

 And it said, “Listen, if you don’t you will be judged, because the
Judge is standing at the door.  Behold, I stand at the door and
knock.” 

 Who’s there?  The Judge

“Oh, I wasn’t expecting the Judge.”  

The Lamb is the Judge.  Oh yeah, He is the Son of man; because He’s
the Son of man, He’s the Judge.  And the Son of man must die.  

“The Lamb came off the mercy seat and sat upon the throne” --Bro.
Branham said so, “Categoricall -took the book out of the hands of Him
on the throne, ripped the seals off and climbed on the throne.”

  That’s Melchisedec--King of Righteousness, King of Peace.  And the
King is the Judge.  And the law of the Medes and Persians alters not. 
God doesn’t change; He’s the Judge.  

35.	“Who’s at the door?”

“ I am.”

 “Who are you?” 

“I’m the Judge. “

 “I expected the Lamb.” 

“ I am the Lamb.”

  “Well, that sort of throws me.  But, hum, I expected Rev 19:1.” 

“ I am Rev 19:1.”

 “Well who arn’t you?”

“ I am everything.  I’m the Rose of Sharon to those that love roses.
 I’m the Mighty God that needs a Mighty God.  I’m the Lily of the
Valley that loves the valleys.” 

  “Sure.”  Why he said,“ I’m the Son of man that needs a
revelation.”     

 “ I’m the mighty God coming down.”

  Thank You for knocking, Lord.  You know what?  Bro. Branham told the
truth, without the prophet you couldn’t have the Bridegroom revealed. 


36.	Now,  Jas 5: 7 - 9 is based upon Gen 3:8 –20, and I’ll tell you
why, I hope.  At least it’s my thinking I’m going to look at. 
Genesis 3.  We got to read it, 8 - 20.  

      And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden 

in the cool of the day:  they hid themselves from the presence of 

the Lord amongst the trees. . .

 You notice at that time the tree of the knowledge of good and evil
wasn’t much good to them and the tree of life  you know, exposed them.
 So let’s just sort of slink into nature some way.  Uh uh.  No. 

     And God called (in fact he came down with a roar of thunder,

     I got that from Jack Bell, recalled that one to me and he roared,) 

    Where art thou?

(Well,) he said, I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid

(to come,) because I was naked; and hid myself.

You know, isn’t that a tragic thing in the Presence of the Lord today
that men can be that way?  You know, John says that, he hopes we won’t
be ashamed at His Appearing, that is the Presence.  This man was
ashamed.  He was naked.  Now, it’s all right to be ashamed to be naked
in revelation and repent and then come and get clothed.  But this poor
fellow knows how he slumped back there.  See, that’s human nature.  

And he said, Who told you you were naked?  (I’m going to tell you 

right today, brother/sister, I didn’t know I was naked.  And Laodicea
is 

naked, just what He told me.  God had to tell me.  I was completely 

fooled.)  hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded you should

not eat?

(12)	And the man said, The woman gave it to me, I ate it.  

(13)	The Lord said, What have you done?  She said, The serpent          
            			beguiled me.

The Lord said unto the serpent, Because you’ve done this,             
                you’re cursed above all cattle, (and so on.)

(15)	There’s enmity between you and the woman, 

(16)	Oh, and I’m going to multiply your sorrow and conception; 

     And unto Adam he said, Because you, listen to your wife instead

of listening to me, (you deviated, so therefore he said, you’re       
                     	going to have to get your food from now on.) 

     (Not the easy way, but from the soil of the earth, the toil, the
thorns 

     and thistles are going to come up, they’re going to bother you.) 


     The sweat of your face, you’re going to earn your living till the
                        	day you die.  And you get right back down there
in the dust.

All right.  The reason I believe this, is because James 5 is dealing
with the brethren, the righteous elect and fulfills Rev 3:20-22. 

 37.	Now reason I said, Jas 5:7 is based upon Gen 3:8-20, is because
James 5 is dealing with the brethren.  My brethren.  The righteous or
the elect.  And who was God dealing with?  The righteous, elect.  In
principle, the son and daughter of God.  And that’s the same as       
   Rev 3:22.  

     (He said), Behold I stand at the door, and knock:  and if any man

hear my voice (today,) I’ll  open the door, I’ll come in and sup
with

him, and he with me.

     And I’ll grant unto him, (of course eat of the tree of life and
so on.  

So which is down there in the Word.)

38.	And in Genesis we see God the Judge appearing to His elect. And
though he has to condemn what they did, he immediately works for their
redemption but denies immortality at that point.  Today we hear Rev
3:15, 18 which is condemnation, but with it Rev 22:10 to 14 which is the
opening of the seals and giving us permission to go to immortality.  

Amen, brother/sister.  Don’t you see we’re here?  We’re not
looking down the road.  I’m not even looking back.  Why should I look
back?  I was there when Bro. Branham preached that series.  And the same
God is again dressing a Bride as He did in Eden.  Not with fig leaves,
no, but he’s covering them according to Mal 4:2, which is the Son of
righteousness rising with healing in his wings.  See?  Which is
according to 1 Corinthians  the 15th chapter and verse 56.  He said we
must put on this vesture; and it’s an inner vesture.  God dressing us.
 And we see how that’s done.  It’s done by a prophet.  We’ll quote
it a little later on.  See?  

This redemption is spoken of, that was given to you, when you’re born
again--the baptism with the Holy Ghost--is the earnest of this
redemption in this hour.  Can’t you see where you’re at,
brother/sister?  Omega.  And if it’s Omega, it’s all over.  You’re
not looking for your redemption, brother/sister, your redemption has
arrived.  

39.	Now, I’m sure you noticed that we covered two points:  Alpha and
Omega, Judgment and Judge.  

And that leads us to number 3--closely related to the other thoughts. 
It was in God’s personal Presence--it was, rather, it was God’s Own
personal Presence that created and formed Adam and Eve.  It was His
personal Presence wherein He came and confronted His own two children
and Satan.  It was His Presence in the form of the Holy Spirit that
pronounced both judgment and redemption and gave them the definite
promise of immortality that He had to withhold until now.  It is the
same Presence today, and in the same Eden fallen condition.  

40.	Now, I want nobody to misunderstand me.  I am not saying we are
literal Eden.  We are not literally in the Millennium, we are in the
Eden condition where man fell over the original sin which was what? 

	“You shall not die.”  Right.  And they’re saying you shall not
die and they’re liars.  

	Because that’s what it says in Revelation.  “I am no widow.  My
husband’s living and I’m alive.”  

	And I can prove it all these children, look at the wonderful things my
husband has done.  And He said, “You’re a liar, you got it by your
fornication, just sold out, you bought it.  You enslave men.”

	  That’s the curse.  The souls of men slaves.  That’s why I lashed
out this morning.  And I felt the meeting go a bit dead.  Well, if
there’s any preachers here, you’re causing that funny spirit,
that’s your business.  It’s White Throne now.  I’m standing for
the truth.  Not to enslave anybody.  What would I do with you?  Fap! 
Preachers say,  “Be loyal to me, listen to me and you’ll make it
through.” 

You listen to me and you’ll die.  Because I’d telling you different
from what I’m telling you this morning, if I was speaking myself. 
This is the Word of God.  I’m doing my best to show you.  

He descended with a shout in 1 Th 4:16, in order to fulfill Eph 1:15-23,
which is God Himself bringing His Own revelation, and bringing
redemption unto immortality right to the Eternal City.  Absolutely.  And
He has exposed Satan.  People don’t realize Satan has already been
exposed and confronted in the form of the spirit.  Why?  Don’t you
understand, brother/sister?  It’s the love of the Truth that we have
and they don’t.  Where do we get it?  We got it from God descending.  

41.	All right.  You got your actual confrontation right now.  I’ve
tried to teach you time after time and people do not realize.  They
fight me on every side because they don’t understand the Parousia. 
They don’t understand the Presence.  They don’t understand what
I’m teaching. 

	 They try to say, “Well, Bro. Vayle believes that He’s already
here.” 

	You bet your life He is.  But He’s not here with the nail prints. 
He’s not here in a physical form.  They don’t understand why He’s
here.  Let me tell you, every single thing has started right now in the
wind up.  The revelation, that the apocalypses, the phanaroo, and the
epiphanea and all the rest of them.  Kind of skips my mind right now. 
But every single thing has started right here now and we’re
progressing in it.  That’s what they don’t understand about my
preaching.  

	And yet Bro. Branham said, “You’re going from the negative to the
positive.”   Then         I ask you, am I preaching right or wrong? 
I’m right, they’re wrong.  

42.	This is still White Throne.  I’m following the prophet.  He said
it’s from the negative to the positive, and it’s more and more and
more, until what looks like a hand, comes to a hand.  In other words,
body fits on body.  Like a woman and a man, marrying, virgins both and
coming together in a physical marriage.  I tell you, when she grasped
him, her breasts make an imprint upon him for life; he makes an imprint
upon her. And we’re coming more and more from the negative into the
positive.  

That’s why you see the world more and more fornicating and going to
hell all the time.  I’ll tell you, I’m--well, personal forget it. 
Satan’s been exposed.  Who did it?  Let’s find out who did it.  You
heard me preach this a dozen times, you heard me a dozen times. 
Haven’t heard me a dozen times?  You’ve maybe heard me a hundred and
fifty times.  I don’t know.  

43.	Listen, it says right here,  2 Thessalonians 1st chapter.

(6)        Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense
tribulation 

 to them that trouble you;  (Absolutely, absolutely.  Why shouldn’t
He?)

(7)        And to you who are troubled rest with us, (under what
conditions? 

 At what time?) when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven 

 with his mighty angels, 

Brother/sister, He was revealed and nobody’s got the answer to it. 
There’s your

picture right there. [Points to the picture of the Pillar of Fire]  

You say,  “Well, I just don’t think those things can happen.”

 Well, that’s fine by me.  You tell me what it is.  Tell me what it
is.  

You say, “Bro. Vayle, you’re guessing.”

 No.  Vindicated prophet said so.  

“Well, we don’t believe in prophets.”  

“Well, who do you believe in?” 

(8)       In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, 

     (that’s exactly right) and obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus 
                      	Christ: (Now listen, what about them those that
do obey the                         	gospel? They don’t get this.)

 (9)       Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the  
                  		 presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his
power;

 (10)     When he  shall come to be admired in his saints, and be       
                      	 	admired in all them that believe because our
testimony                            	among you was believed in that
day. (Now what’s he telling                           	you here?
He’s telling you, one people get condemnation,                        
	one people get blessing.  See?)

(11)	Wherefore also we pray (right now listen, this is the time then    
                  this hour, is when the Judge has come and the Truth
has been                      revealed as it says over in the 2nd
chapter.)  

Now it says here.  Verse 10. [2 Thessalonians 2:]  Satan now comes on
the scene.  

 (10)     With all deceivableness and of unrighteousness in them that   
                       	 perish;  because they received not the love of
the truth, that                        	they might be saved. (Now what
time is that?  That’s at the                       	time that--that,
look, this one descends.)  

44.	Now the world is in a condition of wretched, miserable, naked and
blind and don’t know it.  Then somebody’s got to come and wake up
those virgins.  He’s got to wake up the whole show.  And what’s he
going to wake them up for?  They had better get the Truth.  That’s
what’s going to save them.  Now remember those virgins, they didn’t
have oil in their lamps.  That’s Luther, Methodist, the whole bunch
behind us, Pentecostal.  Didn’t have it.  No revelation.  Why?  Their
day is over.  They’re just lip service to a dead word.  It’s all
gone.  With us it’s different.  See?  You’ll never make the rapture
without the Light that’s here today.  Nope.  Can’t do it.  That’s
where you get your oil right there, brother/sister, because you can’t
get any oil without the Word.  

45.	See that’s where Pentecost made it’s great error.  They began
speaking in tongues and having gifts way back in 1906, and they had no
Word with it.  I know what I’m talking about.  I read the books, I was
in it.  Not in 1906, I was born in ‘14.  But I got there when I was
eighteen years old.  Younger than that.  Just going on eighteen.  

Now it says,

(11)	For this (reason,) God will send a strong delusion, that they
should                  		believe the lie: 

 The same one that brought the truth now is going to bring delusion. 
You say,

“When is He going to bring a delusion?”

 By bringing the Truth.  You know a deluded person believes he’s
right.  We knew we were wrong.  We weren’t deluded.  Those that
believe they’re right are deluded, because the Bible said they’re
wrong.  They’re wretched, miserable, blind, naked, don’t have it and
you think you got it.  You know what that is?  That’s insanity.  

46.	You know, that’s like the guy thinking he’s got a million
dollars. He goes around passing out bad cheques, and he’s really
fervent and loving and kind, and he says, “Oh here, take this
check.”  

And the poor guy doesn’t know because he’s insane, he’s got no
money in the bank.  Now he doesn’t mean any harm, but you see, he’s
crazy.  

Now, I’ll tell you what, these people don’t mean any harm either. 
That’s why we got to be careful.  I’m not too careful.  I got to
learn to be more careful.  He comes down and exonerates the Bride by the
washing of water by the Word.  

Now I could go on and on about Alpha and Omega, but look, our time’s
running out fast.

47.	Number 2.  Look at the parallelism of Scripture. 

 That is two lines always running parallel to each other and never
joining, going plumb into eternity.  Let’s look at a few of them. 
That’s over here in Deuteronomy 27.  

Should have called this meeting for 9:00 this morning.  Hate to mumble
in my beard up here, but it’s the truth.  I’m going to get nervous
running out of time.  I don’t like to get nervous.  

All right.  Let’s just read a little bit here.  Deuteronomy 27 and
verse 11.  This is the cursing of mount Ebal and Gerizim the blessing.

(11)	And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,

(12)	These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, (he named
them).

(13)	And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; (and he named
them).

And the Levites shall speak, unto all men of Israel with a loud voice,

 (and they start at mount Ebal, cursing.)

(15)	Cursed be the man that maketh a graven image. 

Cursed be this man, curse that man, (16) curse,  (17) curse,  (18)
curse,  (19) curse,  (20) curse,  (21),  (22),  (23),  (24),  (25), 
(26), curse, curse, curse.

48.	Okay. (Deuteronomy 28)

It’ll come to pass, if thou shalt hearken dilligently unto  the voice

of the Lord thy God, (Now notice, if you listen, the one that comes     
           	down, if you listen, something else will happen to... other
than the                   	curse.  	Okay.  Now I said:  The blessings,
now, get up on  a high               	mountain  and then say this here)
if you diligently hearken to the 		voice of the Lord your God and
observe all His commandments                   	which I command this day
(now notice, Moses is doing it.  God’s 		done it through Moses and now
they’re doing it from Moses.)  And 		the Lord God will set thee on
high above all the nations of the earth: 		(right to the eternal city.)

(2)	And all the blessings shall come upon thee, and overtake thee, (Now 
          notice, they’re going to overtake you.  You won’t be able
to run fast              enough to get away from the blessing of God.  I
proved that, brother/             sister.  I have proved it personaly. 
You bet.  You all the time say,                “Well, I can’t run
fast to get away from the devil.”  You just say,               
“Shut up devil, sit down boy.”  You can’t run fast and get away
from                   God and His blessing.  That’s right.  The Bible
says so.)  These              blessings will overtake thee, and you’ll
hearken to the voice of the              Lord your God.  (You will go
from glory to glory).

(3)	Blessed you’ll be in the city, blessed you’ll be in the field.

 (4)      Blessed,  (5) blessed,  (6) blessed,  (7) blessed. (8)
blessed,  (9) blessed 

           (10) blessed,  (11) blessed, right down the line and  (12)
you’re going to           	get   blessed.

(12)	The Lord open the treasures of heaven give the rain, latter rain
and              	            former. 

 (13)	And the Lord shall make thee the head and not the tail; 

(Oh, you bet your sweet life.  That’s the Bride.)  

49.	Listen, blessing and blessing and blessing and blessing and
blessing; and cursing and cursing and cursing and cursing; and blessing
and blessing, all at the same time.  They run parallel and they never
meet.  The cursed never will come out of purgatory, or any other place
and get to God.  They’re annihilated, because there is no purgatory. 
And the blessed one will never go anywhere but to bliss.  

Let me tell you this flat, brother/sister, in this hour.  And get this
flat, and understand it in this last day.  All your righteousness
amounts to nothing if you sin.  You can have eighty-five years of
righteous living and you step off the board today, you’re gone.  And
you can live eighty-five years as a sinner going to hell and turn to God
and like that you’ll make it.  That’s right.  I’m quoting the
Bible.  Judgment day.  Why?  Because they turned down the Word of the
Lord.

50.	Okay.  Let’s go to Isaiah, chapter 45 to see the parallelism of
Scripture.  Blessing and cursing, blessing and cursing, blessing and
cursing.  Never, never, never, never changes.  Everybody gets all
excited.  That’s why they’re legalists.  That’s why you believe
and falling away, because you see the curse.  And you say, “Oh,
there’s a blessing, and there’s a curse, and there’s the blessing
and there’s the curse, and oh my, I can go to hell, I can live for
Jesus, and I can go to hell, I can get born again, and I can go to
hell.”  You’ve got to be ridiculous.  The parallelism of Scripture,
brother/sister.  Where are we at?  45.

 (7)       And said, I form the light, and create darkness:  I make
peace, and I

 	 create evil:  (that means hard times) I the lord do all these things.
 

Yeah.  As a Scripture, let’s see if He brings a blessing or brings a
curse.  He brings both.  How does He bring both?  You turn down His
Word, so therefore you can’t get what’s behind His Word.  And
there’s no thing negative, except it was first positive.  There is no
power but of God, and there’s nothing evil in itself.  But you turn
down the Word, then you’ve abandoned the things of God.

 51.	Look at Matthew.  This is for this hour.  The 3rd chapter.  Oh, I
like all these Scriptures.  And I think maybe I’d better stop reading
them and just talk a little bit about it so we can go to the next point.
 Matthew,  because that’s the last point that’s important to me this
morning.  Mt 3:11 and 12.  And it says here:

 (11)	 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance:  but he that
cometh 

after me is mightier than I am, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: 

 he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and fire:  (but watch it)

 (12)	 His fan is in his hand, (What’s a fan for?  To separate the
chaff and the

 wheat, the chaff and the wheat, see?) and he’ll thoroughly purge his

 floor, (What for?) to gather wheat in the garner; (Then what?) he’ll
burn 

 the chaff.  

Gathering, burning, gathering, burning, gathering, burning.  So he’s
coming in clouds of angels.  And what’s He going to do?  He’s going
to burn the wicked at His convenience when He brings in the righteous. 
The same one.  Blessing and cursing.  Isaiah 60.  Well, we got one more,
maybe. Isa 61:2 and 3 tells you flat.  The day of atonement, the day of
judgment.  Mal 4:1-6, same thing.  2 Th 1:7, which we read, right down
the line.  

52.	Okay, Bro. Branham preached, “I Indict this Generation”, but he
also preached “The Invisible Union”.  Now if he’d of done
different, he was not that prophet. 

 Oh they said, “Bro. Branham, don’t say those things about our
lovely ladies.  Tell them how to have gifts and be spiritual.”  

He said, “How can I teach them algebra if they don’t know their
ABC’s.” 

I doubt if Bro. Branham ever took one lesson in algebra, but he sure got
it right.  You use letters instead of numbers.  They didn’t know the
ABC’s.  Women cutting their hair, living the way they are.  Speaking
up in church when they have no authority doing the things that’s
commanded unto a man.  

You say, “Well, just a minute now, listen.” 

 Now you ‘just a minute’ me, I’m telling you this brother/sister. 
What is homosexuality?  You know what it is?  Sure you do.  Men with
men, women with women.  Don’t you pull that off.  Woman’s got her
place and man’s got his and there’s no place in Scripture for a
woman to handle the Word of God, period.  You say what you want,
brother/sister.  You’ll answer for it.  This is White Throne.  And I
will be there, ‘cause I’m here now, talking to you people.  You say,
“Bro. Vayle, you arrogate to yourself a great position.”  I don’t,
but I take my responsibility and I’m not afraid to do it.  I’m not
afraid because I got to do it.  

53.	Bro. Branham  preached, “I Indict This Generation”.  He preached
many sermons along that line, and he preached many sermons along the
line of “Invisible Union”.  I imagine just about equal.  Bro.
Branham was the voice in 1 Th 4:16 and with the same word sword, the
same sword that he dressed the Bride, he stripped away the hypocrisy of
the church and he screamed out when the sword’s in hand, he said the
Sword of the King, there’s only one King and that’s God, and
there’s only one Sword, and that’s the Word.  And he said bring on
your holy vesture with the holy Word of God standing by.  

Who in the world ever took a sword and dressed anybody? 

 Well, says the wife, “Honey,” to the great Old Knight, Sir Reg,
Ronald or Regie, what is name was, “Honey, I need a new  dress for the
wedding.” 

 He says, “Come here, my bride,”

 Takes slap, slap, bang, bang, it’s over, now you’re dressed up. 

 She said, “You just cut me to pieces.”  

That was in sheer prophecy.  God speaking through a prophet.  I tell
you, William Branham did not even know what he spoke at that time.  Had
to settle down in his soul.  He told us and he told you.  I think it’s
on tape.  It is on tape.  But he told me personally, because I don’t
know it’s on tape.  Prophets, many times, don’t even know what they
say.  

54.	One occasion he was down there in Beaumont, long before Jack went
down there.  He heard himself say something. 

 Boy, oh boy, said “Lee,” he said, “I thought, I got to thinking,
my God, what did I say?  Said I never said anything like that in my life
before.” 

 He said, “I got home and began thinking, hey, I said exactly
right.” 

 Bro. Branham fulfilled Heb 4:12-13.  Exactly.  That’s by the Word of
God.  He did that to show that he not only had power, but the Judge was
on the scene instructed him.  

55.	Now, notice what it said in the book of Luke.  And we’ve done this
many, many times. 17:  20-30  

 

(20)  	  He was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God

         	  should come, he answered them, The kingdom of God cometh 

  but not with observation:

Now notice right in here, brother/sister, that a people who demand to
know are odious.  They’re odious.  They stink.  They’re vulgar,
crass, and unspiritual.  When’s the kingdom going to come?  And notice
the beauty.  And He is the trickster of the tricksters.

I didn’t quote a wrong quote.  God Himself deceives.  How?  By simply
telling the truth.  

And He said, “The kingdom comes, but you won’t see it, because
it’s something you can’t see.”

 It’s without observation. 

And they said, “Oh boy, can that guy stall, hoo-hoo man.  You talk
about the city slicker from the country, this is the boy.  They didn’t
believe it at all.  And he said,

      Neither shall they say, Lo here! or lo there! for the kingdom of
God

	 is (already amongst you, it’s within, it’s in your midst.) 

 And he said,  “You’re not seeing it and your kind will never see
it.”  

 And you say, “Bro. Vayle, I don’t like that.” 

 Who said you had to like anything God said?  These people didn’t like
it.  

56.	You know, Bro. Branham preached a sermon, wonderful sermon, based on
what you look back in time of Jesus, and you say, 

“Well, if I’d a been there, I’ll tell you what I wouldn’t have
done that.” 

 And he said, “You’re the very one that would have done it, and
you’re doing it now.” 

 Oh yeah,  “I wouldn’t hurt anybody.”

 Just says here the kingdom of God’s already here, and you don’t see
it.  

     And he said to the disciples, (Now listen he put them in the know, 
             	those that were his buddies,) The days will come, when
you’ll               	desire to see one of the days of the Son of man,
and you’ll not                          	see it.  

Now notice, he said, “There’ll come a time when the desire will be
to see the very thing you’re seeing now.” 

Now, watch carefully what he says and where he puts it.Please watch
where he puts it. 

      And they shall say to you, See here; see there:  don’t you
follow them. 

 (Don’t you go after them.)

     For as the light, the light’s under one part of heaven, shines to
the 

other parts; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.  

And that is not simply a flash of light, that’s the moving of light. 
As Bro. Branham

said it so perfectly, “The light that shone in the east now shines in
the west.”  

	But now watch,

     First he must suffer many things, and be rejected of this
generation.

 

Now he tells you, you’ll want to see the days of Son of man, anybody,
everybody will want to see it, but hold it, it’s not going to happen
until He’s dead and risen. 

59.	Now watch where he puts it.  

(26)	And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be in the days of the
                    Son of man.  (What’s the days of Noe? 
Destruction.  Just before                   destruction.)

(27)	They ate, they drank, they... (so on.)

(28)	The days of Lot...

(29)	(Before the fire it was...)

(30)     (Now) even thus  it’ll be in the day when the Son of man is  
                     	revealed. (Now it tells you that.)

	Now, you notice in here categorically as we read on to verses 34-37.

(34)	And I tell you, in that night there’ll be two in the bed; one    
                   			taken, and one left.

(35)	(There’ll be) two women--(two people) grinding; one taken,       
                 		one left.

(36)	There’ll be two in the field; one taken, one left.

And they answered and said, Where, Lord?  And he said, 		             
Where the  body is, there the eagles are gathered. 

  And that word is ‘soma.’  Where is the body?  Now our bodies are
not sematic, except in the sense we heal, and we’re sort of healthy. 
But when you’re looking at the true soma, you are looking at the fact
of the body of Jesus Christ being a perfect and true and whole body,
because it is fed on the perfect and true whole Word of God.  

That’s what’s wrong with our bodies now; we don’t have the proper
food.  If we had the right and proper food and the right way, we’d
just be healthy people, our teeth wouldn’t fall out, our hearts
wouldn’t get bad.  We’d just come to the place to die and we’d
die.  That’s all.  

You say, “What about sin?” 

 Well, sin’s certainly a big help.  You get messing around, venereal
sin’s your big one.  Let’s face it.  You can read it from there,
brother/sister, I don’t have to lecture on that one.  

58.	All right.  Now, this absolutely coincides perfectly with Mt
25:1-13.  And you know the story there--the sleeping virgins.  And
you’ll notice that absolutely the one went in and the others were
taken out into the great tribulation.  Rev 22:10, when the seals are
opened, the righteous are righteous, the filthy are filthy.  Only those
that are righteous go to the Tree of Life, and the rest are called dogs
outside the city.  

So you can see here, brother/sister, the parallelism of Scripture. 
There is no place where God does not bless and curse at the same time. 
So when you read your Bibles and you see a curse, look for the blessing.
 And when you see a curse, it isn’t yours.  No, not yours, it’s
somebody else’s.  See?  And when you see a blessing, you claim it.  

Now if you don’t understand this little, simple law, you will be a
legalist and every time you open your Bible, you’re going to be
afraid.  

Say, “Oh, my God that’s me.”  

You better get born again, brother/sister.  You better get established. 
Because you cannot afford to be that way.  I cannot afford to be that
way.  

Now, in humility, in grace, you see it by the grace of God.  You don’t
vaunt yourself, but brother/sister, we better come to the place where
Paul says, “I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded.”  

Because Abraham was persuaded.  And this is the hour of full persuasion.
 And you can’t get it unless you understand the blessing.  The curse
is not for you.  Condemnation is not for you correction is, but
they’re two different words.  Look in your dictionary.  Condemnation
is not spelled c-o-r-r-e-c-t-i-o-n.  See?  Yes siree.  

Like one kid, he didn’t know what capital punishment was.  

He said, “I believe in capital punishment because from that time on
you do right.” 

He thought if they beat you enough, you’d stop doing wrong.  You just
stop doing.  There’s no capital punishment.

 60.	Number 3 and this is the last one.This is the important one we’re
looking at.  The third one is the Theorem Principle. 

	The Theorem Principle is the vindication principle.  In other words,
vindication is the perfect and only way to have perfect faith.  That’s
right.  No other way.  

Now,  Hebrews the 2nd chapter, verses 1-4, and that is an interpolation.
 Heb 2:1-4 is an interpolation, because verse 14 should be followed by
verse 5.  Right.  It’s just like Rev 10:1-7, an interpolation.  But
you got to leave it there.   [Hebrews 2:]

 	 (1)	Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things 

which we have heard, lest at any time we let them slip.

For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, (messengers) 

and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense 

of reward:

How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at first

 began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them 

that heard him;

God also bearing them witness, with both signs and wonders, 

and divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost.

61.	Okay, 1 John.  I’ll come back to that later and tell you what
it’s all about.  1 John the 1st chapter, and the first three verses or
so.

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which 

your eyes have seen, but you looked upon, and our hands have handled, 

the Word of life:

For the life was manifested and we have seen it, and bear witness,

and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father,

and was manifested unto us:

That which we have seen and heard, we declare unto you,

that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship 

is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

(4)	And these things I write to you, that your joys may be filled, or
full.

62.	Okay, with that 2 Peter 1:

Moreover, I will endeavour that you may be able after my decease 

to have these things always in remembrance.

For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, which were           
         made know unto you by the power and coming of our Lord Jesus   
              Christ, but we were eye-witnesses, we saw the majesty. 

And we received from God the Father honour and glory,( because          
            we heard)such a voice (that) came to him from that excellent
glory,                      and we  heard it say, This is my beloved
Son,  in whom I’m pleased.

(18)	And this voice which we heard from heaven when we were in that     
               		holy mount.  

(19)     (Why, there’s a word even more sure that’s coming to you
than that;                	which we saw and heard, whereunto you better
take heed as unto a          	light, because you’re going to be in a
very dark place, and you better 	take heed, stick with it) until the day
dawn, and the day star arise in 		your heart, 

(20)      Knowing this first, )and get this the truth, that you can’t
get that              		prophecy  by yourself.)  

(21)     (It’s given the way every prophecy is given, because prophecy
		doesn’t come by just anybody:  it only comes by the will of God,		
just like it came in old times; and that’s by prophets.)

63.	All right.  Let me read “The Greatest Battle Ever Fought”, page
27.  Bro. Branham is going to tell you about Elijah.

(And he said) What had (Elijah) done?  (He’d) Cleaned out every
channel.  (He sure did.)  God had chosen him, and anointed--he was
anointed with the Holy Ghost, but it wasn’t he.  He never did anything
till he saw it in a vision.  Elijah said on Mount Carmel, (listen)
“God, I’ve done all this at Your command.  Now let it be known that
Thou art Lord.”  Oh, glory to God!  (In other words, Elijah said,
“Bring on the vindication.”)  

Now watch Bro. Branham.  

I, (Bro. Branham), I, (Bro. Branham) have seen this so many times.  

“What are you trying to tell us?”

 Well, he said, “Just like Elijah, I’m right with Him. “

 “Hoo! (you say,) what a presumptuous person.” 

 Well, hallelujah, somebody’s got to be presumptuous.  I know these
presumptuous people.  They sit there and they say, “Well, I’ve got
the Holy Ghost, too.” 

Well do something for me.  Have a vision, come on.  Give me THUS SAITH
THE LORD.  You’re pretty stupid now, right?  Anybody’s got a big
mouth, but you pay for it.  

(He said,) “I’ve seen this many times, just so many times.”  

“Oh Bro. Branham, but Elijah only said it once.” 

He said, “I’ve said it thousands.”  

Oh, you talk about... what has this guy got?  Man, he’s got an ego. 
It could fill a universe.  

No, he’s a humble sweet guy, I know him.  He’s just telling you a
fact.  

Hey, man, you know what I had for breakfast?  Two soft eggs, a little
softer then wanted, but they tasted good.  Buttered whole wheat toast,
not very good.  And I had a cup of, you know, decaffeinated coffee.  A
little bit of jam.  So I’m just telling you.  Now it’s not quite
that casual with Bro. Branham.  He’s not boasting, he’s just telling
you.  This is a part of his life.  

64.	I’ve seen it many times.  (Talking about himself.)  When you see
the Spirit of God strike in a place and that place get under the
anointing (like Elijah).  If this little group in here this morning
could just take this mind here, and get every doubt out of the way. 
(What mind?  That I’ve seen this thousands of times.)  

Shall we go home, or shall we get the orchestra to play and shall we
dance?  I got you over a barrel.  I’m over one, too. 

 Now let’s look, Bro. Branham.  You’ve seen this so many times.

 Yeah.  I’m going to tell you something, you believe me.  You put your
trust in me, because of that and because of that.  [Points to the
picture of the Pillar of Fire and the picture of the Cloud.] You stand
on that.  

You say, “That’s it.”  That’s it, or you’ll never believe his
message.  You can’t.  Look, you can’t do it.  You can’t do it. 
You know why?  Because you cannot read with implicit faith that this is
the Word of God because you’ve got your own ideas like I’ve had mine
for years.  

65.	I’ve been scared stiff many times to look at a single sermon that
I just didn’t like.  I was so messed up in my mind about “The Statue
of a Perfect Man”, because it spelled of legalism.  And I’d look and
I’d say, well, I don’t have that kind of faith.  Don’t have that
kind of power.  And brotherly kindness, yuck.  And temperance, where art
thou?  I’m like a drunken Methodist who only talks about it; takes the
pledge only to have the fun of breaking it. 

 And I said, “I can’t be this way.”  

You remember years ago I told you time and time again how that I looked
at a three-way mirror once and I saw my nose, and I wouldn’t look
again for thirty years or so.  I thought I was in this three-way mirror.
 I said, “I don’t dare look in that three-way mirror, Bro. Branham,
or I’ll see my nose.”

  Okay, Bro. Guenther.  You don’t know why I said that, but little
Tricia calls him grandpa Vayle for one reason.  She gets Edna
right--it’s Sis. Guenther.  

I was afraid of that three-way mirror. 

Finally I said, “I’m going to look in the mirror.” 

 66.	I had read the sermon entirely wrong.  I was in a certain church. 
No, no, I was under certain conditions.  Well, I’m going to tell you
the truth.  I sat there.  The sermon “Perfect Faith” was heard by me
many times.  Each time I heard it in the atmosphere of that church, I
was condemned, guilty.  Like a legalist blow every single time. 
That’s some years ago.  

A while ago I made my mind up; I think that’s a nice devotional
message.  It’s time the people heard a dose of the message from Bro.
Branham.  I’ll preach it under a different atmosphere of our people
who hear the Word continuously and talk it continuously.  It was not the
sermon I thought it was after hearing it many times.  Everybody’s
heard that series say there never was anything that I preached like
that.  They’re entirely wrong.  It’s just a matter they’re getting
more and more used to the things of God as Bro. Branham taught them.  

Under the anointing he said, under the right anointing (and I hope
it’s here this morning), you’ll understand the power of the third
principle which is the theorem or vindication principle.  You’ll take
it to your heart and never doubt again. 

“ If this group this morning could just take this in mind and get
every doubt out of the way that I am Elijah, and hundreds or many, many
times and thousands of times in vision, I have seen exactly what Elijah
saw in visions, and the proof came out.”

 And he’s talking about himself now and he’s encouraging himself. 
And he said,

“How can you doubt any more?”  

67.	Okay, Jack’s my boy.  I preach it he believes it, but not any more
than me this morning, Jack.  Because this is it.  I believe it.  And
I’ll believe it more, too.  I believe that maybe two per cent.  I’ll
believe it a hundred before it’s over.  Don’t worry.  We’re just
getting on track, brother/sister.  We’re just like the hound dogs that
smelled the scent.  That’s all.  We’re learning.  You thought until
this morning you believed.  You’re going to find out that you believe
a little bit you’re going to believe more.  You got to.  You got to
stand there and grit your teeth.  

William Branham took his own vindication as his faith.  Listen. 

 Now he said, “You people, Lee Vayle especially,  you’ve seen the
dead raised.” 

Two occasions I saw the dead raised, but on both occasions it could be
disputed.  Now, here I’m going to be crass, vulgar, ignorant, mean,
dirty dog Vayle.  Bro. Jack Moore, I believe Gordon Lindsay, Ernie
Baxter (you get the picture?) were there in Finland when the little boy
was hopelessly killed.  Dead, dead, dead.  His boots knocked off and his
bones crunched.  Dead. 

 In the vision the book said, “He’s going to live.” 

 And Bro. Branham said, “If he doesn’t rise chase me out of
Finland.”  

68.	Do any of those men believe that?  And that I ask you a question,
I’m not condemning anybody.  You might think I am.  That’s your
business.  Think what you want.  I care less, except I’m a little bit
hurt.  I’ll get over it.  One good dinner, double chocolate desert
with Ruth and Dave, of course, sitting there licking his chops...?... 
Might get fat.  I’ll forget it.  I’ll pass on and talk to somebody
else.  I’ll look in the three-way mirror again and say, “Hey,
that’s a pretty good nose, kid.  Getting prettier all the time.” 
It’ll look more like the Lord, though, because I’m looking in the
Word.  

“You’ve seen the dead raised, the lame walk, the blind see, the deaf
hear?”  

Oh, have I seen it.  You better believe I’ve seen it, brother/sister. 
And then Bro. Branham is talking about himself and to himself, though to
us, “How can I doubt it?”  How can I doubt it?  I saw Bro. Branham,
you know a cord like this, saw it wrapped around, how we going to get it
wrapped around..?...  Anyway, two or three times around?  I pulled on
it, hoping that maybe, maybe, maybe...  It did maybe.  It dropped right
around his ankles.  O God.  If you’re in danger of falling or
something, would you sooner have the cord around your ankles or around
your hips?  I’d sooner have around my hips.  How do you stop a horse
from running and lasso a calf?  Around the neck?  He’s going to drag
you plumb hopeless.  Get him by the foot.  I never blinked an eye.  The
cord was by his feet.  

You say, “Brother, I just got...” 

 Well, be my guest and doubt it.  I saw it, I cannot doubt it. 

 You say, “Bro. Vayle, you winked.” 

 Ha!  You wink, the devil got in your eye, kid.  You ain’t nothing but
a goat coming around here and pretending you’re a saint of God.  I’m
going to tell you something, he said I believe it. 

69.	Now listen, 

“The angel of the Lord, even His picture hanging there, that’s got
science stumped everywhere.”   That’s got stumped everywhere. 

What does he do?  Stay right with the Word.  Amen!  Cuts every devil. 
Yes it does.  And we’re belly-aching about the devil.  And we can’t
believe that man why...?  “That’s unusual.”  Now what do you
expect?  What do you expect?  You’ve been screaming for years, “Give
us something unusual.”  

You’re like the guy screeching, “I want some new type of dish, I
want some new type of dish.”  So he’s brings in liver sauteed  with
a lovely cream sauce, which I don’t know I’d like myself, but it
sounds pretty good at this point. 

 And the guy said, “Hum, I thought you wanted something unusual.”

 “Yeah, but not this.  Give us a sign.” 

 “I gave you one.”  

“But not that.”  

What do you believe this morning?  Let me get this straight,
brother/sister, what I’m trying to tell you now, Bro. Branham had
faith in his own vindication and in his vindication that’s what he
went from.  That was his springboard.  

70.	“Now, the ministering Spirits sent from the Presence of God (and
he’s talking about himself, because he’s a minister), and he’s
anointed as a speaker of God’s Word, and stay with the Word, and God
confirms the Word with signs following.”.  

Showing Heb 13:8, but notice this, a prophet does not have signs
following when it comes to vindication.  He has the signs ahead of him
that prove what he’s going to say is right.  And that’s a big
difference.  Because you can be false anointed and every sign follow
you.  But you better have the signs ahead of you.

How could we, (in other words, you and me), how could we doubt, when
He’s both scientifically and materially and spiritually, and every way
that can be proved, He’s proved to be here. 

“Oh God.  Tabernacle, whole bunch, Bro. Vayle’s wrong.” 

 This, this, the raising the dead, the miracles proved he is here.  What
kind of here?  The kind of here, he wasn’t here before.  Because
nobody needed any vindication to prove that he was here as the baptism. 
No, I won’t say, that’s alright.  No use anyway.  What’s the
matter?  It’s in our minds.  We won’t open our minds and say... we
say, 

“Well, I don’t know, but it could be.  It couldn’t be it is.” 

 It was.  That’s why we’re nuts here, brother/sister.  

71.	Now listen, we see that Bro. Branham was perfectly vindicated in his
own mind. 

 Dr. Davis said, “You, a grade school kid with not even grade school,
you are going to go before kings and the world?  You are going to do
it?” 

Bro. Branham said,  “Yes, that’s what He said.” 

Well, I’m going to tell you something.  I would sooner believe  Dr.
Davis and call Bro. Branham a nut unless he had some kind of evidence he
was going to do it.  

I am now going to jump over the piano.  Ha-ha-ha!  I can’t even jump
one foot.  I’m tangle foot.  I should be tangle tongued.  I wouldn’t
talk so loud and so much.  But I’m tangle foot.  I never could jump
for a hill of beans and I never will.  I’m not ‘Jack be nimble’, I
kick the candlestick over.  I couldn’t jump over the candle.  So you
think I’m going to tell you now I’m going to jump over a piano?  Oh,
I’ll sit down and play a lovely rhapsody.  I don’t even know what a
rhapsody is.  I read about it.  

So Bro. Branham said, “I’m going to stand before kings.” 

 And hasn’t even been through school.  He doesn’t know any kings to
stand before.  And if he did, how’s he going to get there? 

 “Well, I’m Bro. Branham and I’m going to stand before kings.” 

 Oh, you are?  Out!  How many must try to get to the White House?  All
kinds of nuts.  Out!  Throw them in jail.  Maybe he’s the pussy cat. 
“Pussy cat persuaded, I’ve been to London to see the Queen. 

“ What did you there?”

“ I frightened a mouse from under her chair.”  

You see how stupid that man would be?  

This is not facetious remarks I’m saying.  I’m trying to pin us down
this morning, brother/sister, to get serious and know where we stand
because we’ll not get off the ground, we’ll go no further until this
breaks on our hearts.  This is real, real, real.  And I’m only five
per cent there, as far as I know.  That’s the trouble.  And  I’m
naming my sins.  

72.	See, Bro. Branham was perfectly vindicated in his own mind from what
happened.  He came to the place where he knew who he was and what his
ministry was.  He stood like Jesus over here in Mt 12:22-37.  Oh, I
spoiled it.  I’ve got several bags of jelly beans today.  Terry,
it’s your fault.  You taught me.  I’m a very good student.  22-37.  

 (22)	And they brought him one possessed with a devil, blind, and       
               	dumb:  and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and
dumb 		both spake and saw.

(23)	And all the people were amazed, and said, Hallelujah, is this the 	
		son of David?

(24)	The Pharisees, (Hogwash, what are you trying to tell here you bird	
 brains? You don’t know the Scripture.)  This fellow (here) casts 		
out devils, by just one person, that’s the devil himself. 

We’ll tell you the truth of this whole thing.  They’re doing it
right now with Bro. Branham.

(25)	And Jesus knew their thoughts, he said, Every kingdom, (Listen 	   
            every kingdom, listen every kingdom.  You’re dealing with
a                        kingdom.  Don’t go looking around.  You keep
your eyes straight.                       You’re not dealing with a
person, you’re dealing with a kingdom.                       Is it God
or not?  See?)  brought to desolation, it’s divided against           
           itself; every city or house divided shall not stand:  (Shall
not stand.)

(26)	If Satan cast out Satan, he’s divided, he’s shot, he’s
finished.  

(27)     (Now listen) if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, (and they were
doing                      	it) by whom do your children cast them out? 
therefore you be the                   	judge.

(28)      But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the
kingdom of 		God is come to you.  

The kingdom of God will be there and they won’t even know it and
recognize it. But those who know the Word of God, the seed, the elect,
they will see it and they will  know it.

      Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil
his                  	 goods,  except he first bind the strong man?
(There’s your faith. 			 Let your faith go  this morning) then He will
spoil his house. (But			 if you keep your faith,  you’re all right.)

      He that is not with me is against me; (there you are,) he that
gathereth

 not (against)me scattereth abroad.

      (Therefore) I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall

 be forgiven unto men:  but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost 

 shall not be forgiven men.

(32)	Whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it will be 	     
              forgiven him:  (Remember, the Son of man today is not
Jesus in                    flesh, it’s the Holy Ghost.)  

73.	Bro. Branham said, “The Son of man is in the form of the Holy
Ghost.”  Do you believe that?  All right.  That’s part of you.
Blaspheme against that, you’re gone.  

You say, “Bro. Vayle, I just can’t believe that I’d go to the lake
of fire then.” 

 You believe what you want, child.  Go ahead.  No one’s going to try
to force you into anything.  Nobody.  

Don’t you know God didn’t force Adam say, 

“Now Adam, I want to stand right there and you’ll not touch that
tree of death.  No, 	no.  I’ll beat you with a club, you bet your
sweet life.  Now, tell you what Adam, look 	at the beautiful fruit and
all of it, and I’ll tell you what, don’t go near that, and I’ll 
give you all this nice stuff here.” 

 He said, “There they are, take your choice.” 

74.	Then something came by that allowed a choice to be made and he
flunked the test.  Alpha’s Omega.  I don’t want to hurt your
feelings, but that’s all there is to it, brother/sister.  I’m in the
same boat.  Come on, kid, come on, I’m in the same boat you are.  I
don’t point my finger at anybody.  

      ...speaking against the Son of man, (forgiven, against the Holy
Ghost,

no way.)  not this world, nor the world to come.  

Now listen, White Throne. You did it here, it’s over.  All it is
it’s just burnt up at that time.  

      Either make the tree good, his fruit good; or make the tree
corrupt,

 and his fruit corrupt:  for the tree is known by his fruit. 

 What was the fruit they were bringing forth?  Against the Word of God,
with  their mouth.  Their Word was wrong.

      O generation of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good
things? 

 They couldn’t admit to Christ if they tried, they couldn’t admit to
Christ if they tried, neither can these people admit to that and to
that, [Points to the pictures on the wall] even if they tried.  So this
morning don’t try, but give yourself a break just the same.  Sit there
and say, O God, wipe it all away this hindering, if it’s hindering
somewhere, because it’s just not the thing to have.

(35)	(Out of a good heart, out of an evil heart, Cain and Abel.)

      I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they

            shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.  

            (And Bro. Branham said,  “We’re going through it
now.”)

75.	This is based on Mt 12:15-21.  This is concerning Jesus Christ
Himself in the days of His flesh, which Isaiah said in verse 17,
concerning him and the Gentiles.

Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom 

my soul is well pleased:  I’ll put my spirit upon him, (and after
that,

some down the road) he shall show judgment to the Gentiles.  

(He shall come with vindication.  He shall show what is right.)  

(And at that time) he shall not strive (because he did strive when      
             he was in his flesh.  He strove so bitterly he took ropes
and he                     knotted and he whipped the daylights out of
them.  Threw them out                         of the temple.) (And it
says,) he shall not cry in the streets.  (On the                        
   great day of the feast,he cried, if any man thirst, let him come to
me                   and drink.)

The bruised reed he shall not break, (he broke it, he said it’s all   
                     over.) The smoking flax he quenched, (he doesn’t
do it today.                           You can’t hear him.  He just
comes like light.  Do what you want                         with it.)

And in his name (only the name) shall the Gentiles trust. (What’s     
                His name?  Lord Jesus Christ, to get baptized in it. 
You bear it.)  

That is why he spoke squirrels into existence and knew if God gave him a
vision he could go to the graveyard and raise George Washington or
Abraham Lincoln. 

You say, “Just a minute.”  You . . .  and I would be sorry messes to
be Mary and Martha.  Oh God, stinking in the grave four days, and
dissolutioned.  Bro. Branham said,  “The nose falling in.”  You know
what heat can do to the body.  Oh my.  Up here in the north you let a
skunk die on the road, he just lays there for days.  Down south he
pretty soon he puffs up and he disintegrates.  Heat.  He was puffing up
and disintegrating.  

And one said, “ Even now Lord, even now Lord, I wonder if that’s
so.” 

 Hoo-hoo-hoo.  That’s a lot of hogwash.  Well, you see they were
simple little ignorant people.  Thank God for ignorance.  Even now,
Lord, Lord, if you had been here but that’s all right, you’re here
now.  Oh, I want to be like her.  You weren’t here before but you’re
here now.  It’s okay.  Hallelujah, now is the time to see Lazarus come
forth.  The voice.  That’s right.  

76.	He said I’d go to the graveyard and raise the dead.  He put
fantastic faith in the two supernatural pictures.  They sealed it all
off and capped the ministry of vindication and made him know as did
Moses, Elijah, Paul and Jesus and all the prophets that his Word could
not be confuted.  You can confute, but you can’t confute, you might
refute, just talk and argue.  But you can’t confute it, can’t prove
it wrong.  But tell me what that is, tell what that is.  You know
something?  The man that was there ought to know.  He fulfilled Rev
10:7, 22:10-14, that’s the opening of the seals.  He brought us to the
revelation of the Tree of Life, and the next step to immortality.  He
told us that he had given us, what He’d given us by divine revelation
through the Pillar of Fire that all we needed, we had now to put us in
the rapture.  He was utterly satisfied that it was so.  

77.	He wasn’t satisfied that we were satisfied.  Come on.  We’re
satisfied because we sat around and said, “Yes Bro.Branham.” 

 He was satisfied because of what he had.  He didn’t care two bits
what we had.  What did I contribute to Bro. Branham except trouble? 
What did you contribute?  Nothing.  You weren’t even there.  I
didn’t have a thing to do with this.  That’s why I get such a pain
in my stomach, spiritually speaking, when people say about,  “You
know, Bro. Vayle, Bro. Branham’s a great man but...”    Fap!  You
what?  You what?  

I could even wrestle, arm wrestle some of you gals, I mean some of you
men, bad to go to women, and I’ve been sick a long time.  Lost my
muscles.  Got the nerve to stand up against a prophet and say,  “Well,
I had something.”  He never had a bit of that!  [Pointing to the
picture of the Pillar of Fire] Nobody has.

  You never judge a prophet.  Anybody knows that by Scripture.  When it
comes home it’s a different story.  See?  Based upon his own personal
vindication which is exactly what Moses did and Paul did, and Jesus did,
and the apostles did.  We can now if we desire, receive Heb13:8, the
Christ revealed seals, just as confidently as did Abraham look for it
and receive the promised Son and the city that has foundations and each
and every promise that God is granted to supply our needs. 

 78.	That which is perfect would never have been fulfilled apart from
the vindication of Deuteronomy 18, because who would believe a man
simply saying, “It is now fulfilled.”  Let’s have some proof.  

Hey, you know, we’ve had a terrible job this last while, trying to get
a piece of property for me to bargain on.  Because we were going to be
dead sure, when we finally put the last dollar on it, that was ours,
period.  And so what do we do?  We had the title search, and we paid a
man for it.  We paid a lawyer for it.  We paid this guy for it, and the
guy to survey it.  And then finally, we took an insurance policy, if
anything went haywire, we’d come out on top.  

That’s the prophet William Branham.  Anybody can talk.  I can talk up
a storm.  Yappedy-yap, nothing doing.  And I do it.  William Branham
could not come on the scene and say these things unless he was
vindicated.  He’d be a complete foo, because he knew he’d be
challenged.  And he stood there and took the challenge.  

And a man came, spitting across, that great big crazy guy, he said,
“I’m just going to... you snake in the grass, I’m going to destroy
you.” 

 And he could have done it.  And Bill Branham stood right there.  The
cops came rushing, he said, “Leave him alone.” 

 He said, “Satan, because you challenged the servant of the most high
God,” he said, “In the name of Jesus Christ you will fall across my
feet.”

  And the man just spun and weaving, weaving he fell right on Bro.
Branham’s feet.  They had to pull him off.  Men died for their folly
around him.  

79.	I wish you could have looked in his eyes the way I did, that day.
Time and time again I’ll tell you.  I sat there made a little joke
with Bro. Branham.  You know,  I’m a goofy nut.  But you better watch,
I’m serious underneath.  That’s a facade.  The left hand compliment.


“ So how are you doing, Bro. Vayle?” 

 “Fine, Bro. Branham.” 

 How do you...?...?  Oh, great, but not like yours.  “You got ‘em
all fooled.”  And I’m just meaning the exact opposite.  You never
fooled anybody, you’re the great man of God.  Brother, he swung, went
plumb into a trance, and looked at me, stared at me.  Stared cold ice. 
And I sat there.  He breathed deeply and went back, didn’t say one
word.  Didn’t have to.  I no more fooling in his presence.  

Try it sometime.  Think of Jesus, never mind a prophet.  Nope.  I
learned a hard lesson an easy way.  It is this vindication that makes us
know that his ministry proceeded, or  precedes the second coming of
Jesus in the flesh, because he was vindicated in public to back up his
personal statements.  The greater works of Jn 14:12 have been seen by
us.  And today we come to Jn 15:24 where he said,

(24)	If I have not done the works which no other man did, they had      
               		not sinned, but now 	they both see and hated both me
and my                     		father.

80.	Now listen, brother/sister.  Listen to that verse.  Why, I
…couldn’t possibly be in the category of hating God.  I love God,
but I can’t take it.  You hate Him.  I know I’m stunning you.  I
know I’m stunning you.  It’s not human reasoning.  “They both seen
 and hated both me and my father.”  

 	You see why I preach love the way I do?  It separates the elect from
the non-elect, establishes Mal 3:18.  They know righteousness from
wickedness and those that serve God and those that don’t.  It opens up
Rev 22:10-14, the opening of seals.  Separating the righteous from the
wicked.  Absolutely.  

Mt 24:24 reveals who they are.  It is perfectly clear that this mighty
vindication principle separates major and minor truth.  The great truth
is a message that will make us ready for the rapture just like John and
put us in there.  The minor truth is the gift of healing Bro. Branham
took to the world.  

Bro. Branham said,  “My ministry is to pray for the sick.”  He also
said, “My ministry is to declare that He is here.”  “As John the
Baptist foreran the first coming, so your message foreruns the second
coming.”  He never separated them. 

 He said, “Oh, if that sweet Spirit of Truth comes--Christ come more
and more into the church, until the gifts as it were were put on the
shelf.”  And he said, “Everybody gets healed.”  I’m looking for
it.  You bet I am.  With this vindicated ministry there was nothing left
to be proven.  It is now only a matter of accepting it and using it.  

81.	Now listen, now watch carefully.  And using it exactly as the
student applies the theorem to solve a problem that is based on a
theorem.  This is a theorem principle; the  vindication principle.  Once
the Pythagorean theorem is proved, you never prove it again; you just
use it.  Say that’s it.  You apply it.  And as you apply it, every
other question based on a theorem--and none in the Bible is based on any
other theorem than this--every problem is solved.  Did you hear what I
said?  

Now listen.  This is not geometry.  This is God’s Word.  The
vindication or theorem principle, the vindication principle, prove the
entire Word of God which is Heb 13:8 bringing automatically, as we
accept this, Mk 16 and every other promise, because there’s only one
theorem.  Do you believe?  Then there’s, how much do you believe?  Can
you base your life on it?  

“Well, I think maybe, Bro. Vayle, I ought to look in the Word about
that.” 

 What do think women are preaching this morning?  Something out of the
horseshoe throwers manual or something?  Readers Digest?  I don’t
think so.  It is now a matter of accepting it and using it exactly as
the student applies the theorem to solve a problem that’s based on the
theorem.  And once you get this first theorem there are no other
theorems.  God proves, or what God has proven, can now be applied to any
problem that has a Scriptural promise as we find over here in the book
of Romans the 8th chapter, 28.  

82.	(28)	We know that all things work together for good to them that    
                    	love God, to them who are the called, (and so on.) 


	And right on down.  

(33)	Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s elect?  It is God		
	that justifieth.  

(32)	He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all,		
how shall he not with him also give us all things freely?  

(35)	Who separates us from the love of Jesus Christ? (Is there going to 
	          be) tribulation, distress or famine, (can anything do it? 
No.)  

(36)	... we can be killed all the day long; (that’s okay, too) we are
sheep                        for the slaughter (that’s okay, too.)  

(37)	... (why, we’re more than conquerors.  

(38)	For (I have) been persuaded, 

“Well, it doesn’t say anything about you and me being persuaded;
hasn’t said a thing about you and me there.”  

He’s lying.  You  prove to me that that’s you.  Haw!  You’re a
liar.  Paul said here, “Though, we know.”  Is that the editorial we?
 No.  That’s the people of Paul. 

“Aw Paul, how do we know?”

 Because I know.  

“Well, just a minute.”

  Just don’t ‘just a minute’ me.  I never came in Word only, I
came in the power of God.  I never came preaching you wisdom, saying
Amen, just right instead of Amen.  I came to you proving it.  

83.	You think I’m a fool, that I’d come here and stick my neck out? 
Be chased off with some butterfly nut.  What are you talking about,
listen to me.  I’m telling you.  Uncle Sam tells you and he’s a
liar.  The IRS tells and they are crooks.  Newspaper men telling their
bunch of hogwash, if there ever was one.  Infantile, miserable brains,
they editorialize, they never report.  They can’t report.  Where’s
your doctors?  Where’s your lawyers?  They’ve all sold out for a
dollar bill.  

They came to Bro. Branham with a million and a half dollar check
certified.  

Said, “Take it away.” 

 A man sent him,  1500 dollars,  1500 dollars.  He said, “What’s
this money for?”  

“Oh, come on, that’s  1500 dollars.  I’ll do a little Swaggart
dance for a couple million.”  Yeah.  

Paul said, “What shall we say to these things?”  

Well, God was for Paul and Paul came to us, hallelujah

 	“So I think Bro. Vayle, I should have some great spiritual
experience.”

	  Yes, I predict, let’s take that back.  I can’t predict, but I
agree, yes, you should have  a great spiritual experience.  Hallelujah! 
That says,  “Bro. Branham, I’m with you:”  There’s your
spiritual experience.  That’s what Terry was getting the wind of the
other day on the series. 

84.	 Paul said, “Not I, but Christ.  I’ve been crucified, because
nevertheless live not I, but Christ lives in me:  the life I now live by
the flesh, the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, the
revelation I have right now I got from Him, I stand by it.”  

“Then Bro. Vayle, you don’t have a mind of your own.”

  “That’s perfectly right.  I don’t have a mind of mine own.”  

“You mean you’re taken over?”

 “I’ve been taken over.” 

“ I wish I were”

See, this is that spiritual experience, Terry, we’re looking at. 
Nothing can separate us.  

Bro. Branham said (in universe,) “God in his universe, the right
mental attitude toward any divine promise will bring it to pass.” 

 The right mental attitude is to receive it and say, “THUS SAITH THE
LORD.”  How?  Based on vindication and nothing else.  Not on
anybody’s creeds and dogmas, not on Strong’s theology, or Joseph
Parker’s brilliant sermons.  Or even the great and wonderful preachers
back in the days of the Puritans, Spurgeons, the rest of them.  The
vindicated ministry proves this to be the truth.  

85.	Now, I’m going back to reading, and I finished, finally.  Finally,
when I get through talking about what I read.  First I’m going to read
1 John.  Now look at the presumption of   Jn 1:1

That which was from the beginning, which we have seen,

(Note, now get your eyes on me said John, I have seen. 

Yes indeed I have)   which we have heard, (Now listen to him,

I’ve got a limb to the eternal God.  Oh yes I have.)  I looked on     
                  	Him, (I saw Him, absolutely I saw Him, make no
mistake.)  My                            	hands handled Him (Yes, come
take my hand, come and take the                   	hand that had the
hand.)  

(Because I’m going to tell you,) the life was manifested. (Now John   
                  is not that sweet apostle of love you think he is.
Because wait till I                  get ahold of...?..., I’ll skin
him alive.  So he said,) and the life was                  manifested. 
(What are you going to do about it? Are you going to                    
  call me a liar?  Then you tell me?)  We’ve seen it. (I can feel the 
                     people sitting there kind of cold.)  I handled, I
saw it. (I’m telling                     you the truth.)  I’m
bearing witness, (and in doing it I am showing                  you,
listen I am showing you.  Yeah, I am showing you.)  

I don’t see nothing.  Exactly right.  Before I knew Bro. Branham
preached it, I said,

“Bro. Branham, the people that call you Deity, on judgment day will be
better off than those who branded you as not the prophet of God, because
at least they saw something when the others saw nothing.” 

 He said, “Exactly right, Bro. Vayle.” 

 Personal contact with the prophet.  It’s like picking up something. 
I picked up the fact that he wasn’t Jesus Christ, too.  

One man said to him, “ Bro. Branham, when people talk like that way, I
get like I want to worship you.”

 I said to the kid, “I get mad.” 

 I thought, well hey, maybe I’m nuts, better talk to the prophet. I
said, “Bro. Branham, this kid he said that, you know, he wants to fall
down like the rest of ‘em.”  I said, “Bro. Branham, I get mad.” 

 He said, “So you should.” 

 I went, “Goody, goody.”  

86.	You seen something here.  Wouldn’t matter to him.  I could have
gone sh-sh with those other guys.  What they did to the man.  See, I’m
not nice.  See what I’m showing you?  Listen, I’m showing you
eternal life.  Oh God.  John?  Are you all right?  Oh yeah. 

(2)     . . which was with the Father, and was manifested;

(And the things) we have seen, (we are declaring, fully explaining

and bringing into view by words and showing you that you can

have the same fellowship I got(  and truly our fellowship is with

the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. (And I’m telling you, 

that you can be happy just like me.)  

Now you’ve heard my sermon.  Can you translate it to William Branham? 
Brother, listen to me, I want to tell you something, the prophet says,
“No prophet for two thousand years, (was about two thousand years)
spoke face to face with God, as did Moses from the time of Paul until
now.”

He told me that; that’s on a tape.“You say  Moses, Paul, William
Branham?”  Yep.  You say I...hey!  That’s to make you feel good.  

You’re not dealing with tripe and hogwash and some metaphysical junk,
Hindu mysticism, or theological theoretical posturing.  He said look,
“Face to face I talk to the Pillar of Fire.”  He said, “Honest
before God, that sword was in my hand, literal sword was there. 
Squirrels were created.  I left, my body was caught up over yonder. 
Seven mighty angels picked me up.  One a day came in my room and
talked.”  

I’m telling you this for your own good.  I’m showing you eternal
life. 

 You say, “Just a minute.  I can take a lot, but not that.” 

 You just missed eternal life.  This is not yesterday’s age, brother,
this is not Pentecostal anymore, this is not Luther, this is not Wesley,
this is now.  This is the hour.  What was manifested, he said I
manifested to you, now I’m going to explain it to you, that you can
have fellowship with us.  Yeah.  

87.	Bro. Branham categorically said to Bro. Hickerson, and I’m so glad
he showed me.  “Let’s pretend this,--can you see this top here,
(Bro. Branham said,) Hick, you’re here now, I’m up here, when I go
off the scene, you’re up here.”  We’re having fellowship with
William Branham if you believe him.  

“There is a deep settled peace in my soul, There’s a deep settled
peace in my soul, Though the billows of doubt ‘round me roll,
There’s a deep settled peace in my soul.”

 Got to come some place, brother/sister.  I’m not rejecting my faith
in God, I’m seeing the faith that is in God by vindication,
brother/sister.  I’ve known the prophet since 1953.  I’ve read,
I’ve preached, I wrote the books.  It’s just beginning to break. 
How long will it take?  I don’t know.  But I won’t be alarmed if
time goes on for a long time yet.  Yet tomorrow, I wouldn’t be
surprised if he comes, because this is all that’s necessary.  I
don’t know one thing he said that’s needed.  Always looking forward,
always looking back.  Not knowing what’s going on.  

88.	Read Hebrews [2:]

Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things          
             which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them
slip.  

“Oh, I didn’t see anything.”  

“But you heard it.” 

 “Yeah, but there’s a lot of things I hear.” 

 That’s what Paul said.  A lot of voices. “I’ve got the voice,”
he said.  Yeah.  Oh, he was a tough cookie.  

Barnabas, you know, God, listen, do you understand the Scripture?  The
Word said, “The Holy Ghost said, separate me Saul and Barnabas to the
work I have called him.”

Oh, they said, “Hallelujah.”

  They laid on hands, they had a Pentecostal hoe down. I believe it was
wonderful.  They go to Jerusalem.  And Barnabas gets sucked in and Paul
says, “Out.”  

“Bro. Vayle, now, that’s not love.”  

That is love.  He couldn’t afford to jeopardize the body of Christ by
a traitor.  

You say, “Well, well, I believe Bro. Vayle, the man had the Holy
Ghost.” 

I’m not going to doubt anything about what he had or didn’t have. 
I’m just telling you what happened.  I’m just telling you the truth.
 What am I supposed to do?  Tell you something different?  

Am I suppose to say, “Well that really was a mistake in the Bible. “

 It wasn’t the way it happened.  That’s the way it did happen.  So
I’m telling you what we heard.  And don’t let it slip, he said, 
“Don’t let it slip.” 

 Hey, that means the Word of God is slippery?  Yeah, it’s slippery. 
Wait a minute.  Put it in a little box in your mind up here.  Put it on
your hands.

89.	  Now listen, that peculiar Word.  

For if the word spoken by angels was  steadfast, (Blessing,

cursing, blessing cursing, vindication.  Alpha-Omega.) Every 

transgression and disobedience received a just recompense               
             	of reward;

How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; (Now		 listen,
listen what He’s saying.  How are we going to escape                  
        what has been told us?  Yeah.  How are you going to escape?)    
                           which at first began to be spoken by the
Lord, and was                           confirmed unto us by them that
heard him;

Bro. Branham absolutely confirmed what God told him.  What’s the
matter with us?  You know what?  It’s time to get serious.  And you
know something?  The Word is overtaking us.  We fooled around, played
around, done a lot of things, but it’s overcoming us, brother/sister. 
I’m glad it is, because I am that kind of a jerk, I’m glad that Bro.
Branham could open my mouth, squeeze my jaws and pour the medicine in. 
By the grace of God I don’t want to spit it out.  “Was confirmed by
them that heard.”

God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders,             
              and divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost. . .

 	Now it said, listen right here, if you believe and I believe what has
been told us and is vindicated, these things  will come to pass. 
Hebrews 13 will bring about Mark 16.  

90.	Now I’m going to close.  I told you, it’s my last little jelly
bean.  I’m being facetious, but it’s the truth.  I have prayed for
sick many times.  Over the years, back many years ago, I had fantastic
results for a person of my statue, which is very limited.  I did
everything I could to help the sick.  But I never learned to simply
stand still and say God said it.  I believe by the grace of God, and
I’m taking my stand this morning that it can be done and it will be
done that I can learn to stand and pray for the sick without one
feeling, without one emotion.  I’ve got to do it somehow.  And know
that He’s done it.  Not the third pull.  It’s just me praying for
sick.  

Now your part, I’m looking at.  And I’ll be preaching in our church
and I’ll be looking at the thoughts of Bro. Branham.  Where can I lead
the people and help them, that they may know with me, and we together
one with Him, so that you’ll be healed?

91.	Under the third pull I sat there.  I knew it and I didn’t know it.
 I believed it and I didn’t believe it.  I didn’t know what to do. 
I didn’t know what to expect.  And Bro. Branham categorically said,
what I’m saying today and I could have read out of “Perfect
Faith”.  

He said, “Look, the spoken word created squirrels.” 

 It can’t fail.  Whatever I say is the Word of God it will be, nothing
will stop it.  Tonight I’m going to pray for you in that way.  The
third pull went right into action.  My question is:  How many got
healed?  Every single one got healed.  Where was the manifestation?  I
don’t know and I don’t care.  They could have lost it later down the
road.  

But I’m telling you, brother/sister, we have not been on the verge of
anything, we have been in the midst of everything and not recognized
like the Pharisees and the Scribes when he said the kingdom of God is in
the middle of you, and it’s here, there, here, there, (here this,) 
and you’re missing exactly. 

 Now, he said, “The Pillar of Fire’s here to lead us to the
millenieum.”  

God has not left us as some people try to put Him on a yo-yo.  He came
down, he went up, he came down. Look He’s here and he came down and
He’s first brought the Shout and He’s going to raise the dead.  And
I stand on this, brother/sister.  We can move forward, and by the grace
of God we will move.  I don’t know how I’m going to do it.  I
don’t know what’s going to be done.  But I’m looking to see in
this Word what He taught us.  This is God’s Word the man brought and
it’s going to happen to Lee Vayle somehow, someway it’s going to
happen to Lee Vayle.  And it’s going to happen to people that are
around me.  

You say, “Aren’t you shooting high?”  I dare not shoot lesser than
that.  

I count not the people I pastor as my people, I count them as the people
of God and I’m responsible.  Now I use a vulgar expression and my
people know it, as I call them mine in the sense I minister to them. 
And you know, too.  I have never failed to spill my guts in hope to help
somebody.  I don’t know that people have been as faithful to me as
I’ve been to them.  But by the grace of God I will be faithful
somehow.  I don’t know how. 

When He said, “All things are ready, come to the feast,” He meant
it.  

You’ll leave here with something this morning, brother/sister.  What
it is I don’t really know.  What you do with it I don’t really know.
 I don’t know.  But Terry’s right.  The winds have shifted.  Oh,
it’s the same wind, but once that thought with Bro. Branham, “Do or
die, sink or swim,” this is it.  It really is live or die, sink or
swim, this is it.  It has got to be.  I have got to accept as he
accepted.  I will not be he, I will not think as he thought, as a
prophet that is, but I will think the thoughts that he thought.  I will
not do what he did.  I’m not interested.  I just want the fellowship
with him in eternal life; but I’m guaranteed under the right
conditions and we’ve got the conditions today, brother/sister.  God
help us as never before.  

93.	Let’s rise to be dismissed.  I’ve kept you a long time, I’m
sorry, but I’m not sorry.  There’s no use being sorry, it could be
our last meeting, I don’t know.  I’m not planning any, I’ll be
honest with you.  I never said I wouldn’t attend a meeting if somebody
else had it.  It would be up to the Lord.  I’m lazy, number 1.  Many
times I’m uncomfortable.  I think that’s the real reason.  But I
feel so good in the pulpit, so at home and so right if I could try to
help somebody.  So I don’t know.  But I love you all.  

I thank you for your prayers.  Without your prayers, I don’t think
I’d be here.  No way.  The greatest thing anybody can do for somebody
else is to pray in faith.  I appreciate that.  I appreciate your love. 
I really do.  I pray for many people by name.  Many people I just pray
for geographically.  I say the ladies in Virginia, the sister out there
in Arizona.  I say the two...but know them in my heart.  I kind of pray
around the world, I don’t know if it’s efficacious or not, but I
pray.  Because I know that people pray for me and they love this Word.  

94.	The testimony today it has always been, Bro. Vayle, when you preach
you never talk about yourself.  You always point to the prophet of the
Lord Jesus Christ.  I don’t think I can be very wrong if I do that.  I
don’t think I can be too far in error.  If I’m wrong, you pray the
Lord will help me, as I pray the Lord might help you, too.  

But today we know the key as we’ve never known before.  It all lies in
the vindicated prophet.  You can trust what he said.  You don’t have
to have any fear.  I told you, I’ve had fears, I don’t have any fear
anymore about it.  I just read it and I notice, hey, it’s not what I
thought it was.  He never came for any curse.  He came for blessing.  We
are the blessed as he was the blessed.  We knew the prophet.  The very
fact that I stand here, having known the prophet as I did, it rubs off
on you whether you believe it or not.  In other words, if you believe
him, and you believe what I’m telling you about him, you’re part of
it. 

 	You say, “Where does that leave God?” 

 	It leaves Him where He always was.  He always had prophets in the
Word.  

	Let’s bow our heads.

Heavenly Father, we love You this morning.  We thank You for Your Son,
the Lord Jesus Christ who gave His life for us and shed His Blood.  And
is now, right on the throne as the prophet said, “He tore the seals
off the book and climbed on the throne.”  And now, Lord, we know that
You’re here and Your very Presence, You’re bringing the church into
shape, putting all things under the feet of Jesus Christ except
Yourself.  And above all, You’re bringing us under the feet of the
Lord Jesus Christ, because He’s our head.  Lord, it’s the strangest
thing that You should say, “We’re under His feet,” and yet we’re
going to marry Him. 

 It’s such a blessed thing to know that really we are under His
complete dominion to such an extent that He wants to marry us and be
with us.  And we love that.  We want to be under the feet because under
the head, the feet are under the head.  Under that body, what
magnanimous love has been extended to us.  

Father, I pray this morning that every single one of us should get away
from every creed and dogma and every college and every university and
every single thing, Lord God, which has raised its voice against this
message, against Your way.  I’m not worried, Lord, about the message. 
It’s hard to understand for some folk, but I am worried about people
not realizing that You have always done things the way You did them and
You always will.  And this is the way.  And Lord, if we’ve been fooled
by the devil, he’s done a lousy job, because hardly anybody’s
fooled.  

So Lord, we know it’s You.  We know it’s You.  It’s all happened
like it did back when You were in flesh, when You came in the flesh of
the prophet.  And now, Lord, living in our flesh and living amongst us
by the great Pillar of Fire, we’re just asking this one thing:  Help
us, Lord, to receive this vindication and what Bro. Branham brought us. 
Just THUS SAITH THE LORD, and get happy like John.  And John had
Polycarp and my, was he happy.  Lord, we can be Polycarps.  Absolutely,
and I’m standing on it this morning.  And I feel good about it, Lord. 
To believe that we can identify ourselves and have been identified by
You and now with each other.  

When the people go to their homes, Lord, by plane, whatever, go with
them, bear with them, Lord, bring us back together maybe some time,
hopefully, Lord, at least seeing each other, praying for each other.  In
dreams  maybe even in whatever it takes, Lord, in our thoughts, in our
minds, just rejoicing in this thing now.  That we’re all a great part
of it, Lord, and all going on maturing, ripening in the Presence of God.


Help us to take every thought away from our minds now concerning our
brothers.  There is no more grudging, Lord, by the fact that we won’t
do anything to make them grudge and we know they’re our brothers, they
won’t do anything to make us grudge.  Oh Lord, It’s coming Lord. 
It’s not coming, it’s here.  God help us to get on the band wagon.  

So Father in heaven, we just not going to pray all day, we’re just
going to thank You now for Your love and Your mercy, for strength and
all.  You always do so good for us, Lord, and You overdo it.  It’s
just too tremendous.  We  just can’t wait, Lord for more of it.  Now
unto the King, Eternal, Immortal, Invisible, we give all the honor and
all the glory and all the power and all the dominion be Yours, Lord.  In
Jesus Christ Name.  Amen. 

 ‘Take the Name of Jesus with you’.
