Voice of Omnipotence Bro. Lee Vayle June 23, 1976 It's certainly nice to be back here and see all the good folk turn out in spite of all the rain, I realize that it's possible and I hope it didn't happen that some of you could have got stuck out in the mud last night, on the count of the bad road. So, we certainly thank the Lord for the good rain. Seems to me that this is going to be a quite a bad year for a lot of places unless something happens to make up the discrepancy. I understand that pretty well, the Dakota's and Minnesota almost disaster areas, and understand that even here in Western Canada there's much of the land has had not enough moisture. So, we certainly thank the Lord for the rain. I enjoy it very much myself, I like the rain. You know you get kind of sneaky as you get older. You know this business of getting older you know, is quite something. You know, you've got to take all kinds of tonic to feel young, but you sneakier than the young people. And there's nobody ever gives you tonic to get stop getting sneakier. You know, usually I'm the kind of fellow that in the summer time I'm down in Florida sweating my head off, and the winter time up there north of Toronto, or somewhere up here. You know, dying with the cold. That kind of sneaks on you in old age. [Bro. Vayle chuckles] I don't take any special anointing to have to come north or somewhere, but, I sure do feel good to get up there where it's cooler, than down there it's so hot. So, here I am up here and as it gets hot down here, they may not have to close the border. I might just figure the border closed, and stay up here where it's cooler. But you know, you sort of got to forgive that in the older folk, because they don't sort of snap back, if they had to snap at all. Don't seem to snap back so fast, and so…I appreciate this good weather up here, and the fact of the matter is, if I didn't have to be absolutely home the last week in July, I just wouldn't be rushing away to try to get out some commitments that I've sort of gotten myself bottled up in. But, I've enjoyed myself immensely, and I don't think I've had a better time, but …. I've enjoyed, I've preached more than any time to bring the Word of the Lord, never had a better response I’ve had a good time. Shall we bow our heads in prayer. Our dear Lord Jesus in this final night, Lord, closing all too soon and having such a blessed time with Your people here. We just thank You for it, Lord, and we ask You to help us tonight in this message which is quite pro Lord, and I pray that You'll make it very simple to us, because we know even though we don’t see things, it doesn't mean to be difficult. We can see tremendous things in here, where our faith is, and what is going on in this hour. And we can rejoice in it then. Even if we don't understand it, we can stand like Abraham of old until Christ, and the supernatural we're looking for that Word comes forth. Because It's the Word of Omnipotence, and nothing is going to stop It. The devil can't stop It, man can't stop It, and we can't stop It, because It's that Word. And we just thank You, Lord, that this is what will be refused before us tonight is You. And I believe You'll help us, Lord, because You're God. You look upon our infirmities and those things in us which are human, but that can be anointed, Lord. And the greater, Lord, will bless the lesser, so then we've got a confidence and we thank You for it. And just bless the people exceedingly abundant, is all we can ask or think in Jesus' Name. Amen. 1. Now, we're going to read for the text on the 'Voice of Omnipotence ' will go first of all to Amos 3: well, I'll read It first, although you get the Book of Amos, that's hard, and I'll get the Book of Revelation that's easy. You get the hard one and I'll get the easy one. And I'll read the easy one, and then I hope you got the hard one. It said here in Revelation 19:6, (6) And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth. And over in Amos 3:8 (8) The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy? Now, the two verses of Scripture declare that God is Omnipotent, and that He Speaks. To me they must go together. I could not separate them having read the Bible by any means whatsoever. 2. Now, we or rather, you who are here I know, I'm positive that all of us accept the fact that God is Omnipotent . And you know that Bro. Branham taught very strongly on the sovereignty of God. Or God could not be God unless He was Omnipotent . That's the only way the He can be God. For to be God He must be absolute sovereign. That is, He must be an absolute ruler. And this absolute sovereign, He would have to be Omnipotent to be absolute in all of His judgments and decisions. There could not be anyway whatsoever that He could be superseded, overcome, denigrated, denied, or diminished whatsoever. He would be absolutely incomparable inviolate and all alone. That that’s His Omnipotence . Now, this is where too many people make a mistake, the just can't see the sovereignty of God which means that an Omnipotent, all powerful God is ruling and reigning right now. And in absolute control of the universe and all in them is, and most definitely in the affairs of mankind. Now, that the one that people don't want to believe. They believe that God turned man loose, and He turned the devil loose, and He turned Himself loose. And then He put Himself on actual probation as to what man would do with Him. Even when you’ve got to reverse it, but I didn't. (See?) People say, "Well God put man on probation." That's true, but if you don't believe in the sovereignty of God, you are putting God on probation, and he is God in some case. (See?) Sovereignty is where God is absolute, and there is no question, there is no doubt in the face of anything and He is ruling in the affairs of man. 3. Now, this is all according to His plan of redemption. Now you can see sovereignty once you see redemption. If you don't see redemption, you'll never understand sovereignty. But when you put the two together and realize God ruling, and is sovereign in redemption, then we'll get somewhere. Now, let's take a look at sovereignty of Almighty God in quite a few Scripture. And we go first of all to Matthew 13: (the chapter of the parables) and we're going to look at couple verses 31-32. (31) Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven (that's the elevated tower that's around the world, it's a kingdom) is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: (32) Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof. And It shows you the kingdom of heaven is defiled. Right. And God allowed it. Now, they won't stay defiled, but I want you to see a picture here. People say that God is not sovereign. Let me tell you flat, if God is no longer God, King of kings, then He doesn't have a kingdom. Satan has taken over. His own creation was taken over. But I want you to see this that the kingdom is defiled. The mustard seed has grown to have branches which the carnal fowls of the air, all the dirty doctrine, all the foul devils have congregated and they're sitting right in that kingdom, and God is still ruling and reigning and having His will right in it, when everything looks like anything but God is having His way. Now, He tell you right there. (See?) 4. Okay, Daniel (that's a very good Book, tremendous Book, especially in the light of our end time prophet) we look at chapter 4:17 of the Book of Daniel. Now notice: (17) This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever (God) will, and (God sets) up over it the basest of men. Right perfect with Matthew 13: right? Now, It says, "God is setting up those men." He is giving the kingdoms on earth, and His rule and He's doing it. And you think those men aren't in check? Those men are in it, absolute check until you can see even Pharaoh, it was Pharaoh's did by the command of Almighty God. (See?) The decree, it had to be that way. Okay, let's look at [Daniel] 4:34-35, (34) And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, (and) whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation: Remember the wicked basest men are sitting on that throne too, and all those suffering. (35) And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say (to) him, What (are you doing? See?) Now, that's the Word of Almighty God. I know people don't like it, but I'm not worried about people, neither are you, we're concerned about God. 5. Okay, the Book of Proverbs 21:1, (1) The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will. The rivers are run by Him, and the heart of kings are run by Him, even the man will be utilized to do His will. 6. We go back to the Book of Psalms 76:10, (10) Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: (and) the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain. Right there He shows you that the wrath of man is just overruled by the hand of Almighty God. And He lets men in their anger and their indecision and their wrong judgments go ahead and they do anything and everything. And God stands right there watching, and at the right point He just turns it exactly the way it should go. Just puts it right in. 7. All right, let's continue, we got to the Book of Ephesians 1:11, (we ought to remember those things in life brother/sister, do us a lot of good.) It says: (11) In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh (a-double l) things after the counsel of his own will: God does not only have a counsel, which is a foreknowledge, which is a blue-print, but as a successful Builder, He is building absolutely a hundred percent according to that blue-print. (See?) 8. Okay, we go now to the Book of Colossians 1:16-17 (16) For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: (17) And he is before all things, and by him all things (are maintained or kept up running exactly how He wants it.) So, when He said in His Word that that kingdom of heaven was like a mustard seed, planted, and pure fruit, the same as that breath of life was breathed into Adam, and all of this rotten stuff comes creeping in, that's exactly the way God ordained it. And remember, watch your redemption. (See?) Now, I hope you're following now, because you'll never see the attributes of God unfolding in redemption. And understand why God does things unless you see these things. Remember, "God being a Savior, it was necessary for Him to predestinate a sinner, in order to give Himself a reason and purpose of being." You see. Now, you're getting your picture here in the sovereignty of God? 9. Now, Paul understood this perfectly, let's go back to Romans 8:28-31, where we can just take a little look at It, and It says: (28) And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (29) For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Notice, that all things are by Him, and for Him, and to Him. And this is by Him, and for Him, and to Him what's going on of those of us in the beloved. (30) Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. (31) What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? (You see, the will of Almighty God here.) 10. Now, let's go to 1 Corinthians 15:24-26 (24) Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. (25) For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. It tells you right here it is reigning. But certain things are left undone for a purpose. And He's watching it, and it doesn't ever get out of hand. (See?) No sir He's controlling: (26) The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. Now, if God were not Omnipotent, the Book of Revelation could not have been written in past tense. The Book of Revelation is a present Book at this very moment, and intensely so and It was written in the past tense as though it already happened. (See?) . Now, in the Book of Revelation we see God do etching in all the affairs of the universe for two thousand years, according to His Own Counsel He wrote a Book about it before it ever was. That is confirmed Omnipotence, before our eyes. Now, can God write a Book two thousand years before, and then the whole thing come to pass exactly as He said? Put It all in the past tense. 11. Now, let us consider His Voice, that we saw Omnipotence, let's consider His Voice, God's got to talk. Okay, we go to the Book of Genesis 1:3, we begin reading, we'll take several Scripture, and It says here; (3) And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. In verse 6, (6) And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. In verse 9, (9) And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered (into) one place, and (also) let the dry land appear: and it was so. In verse 11, (11) And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed… (and so on.) In verse 14, (14) And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament… (and so on.) In verse 20, (20) And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving… (creation, and so on.) In verse 24, (24) And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature… (and so on.) In verse 26, (26) And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: … (and so on.) Then in [Genesis] 2: verse 16, (16) And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: In Genesis 4: verse 6, (6) And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? And in [Genesis] 6: verse 3. (3) And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, … And in verse 13, (13) And God said (to) Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me;… Now, we can take many more verses where God speaks. So, we don't need to go any further, for we have established two doctrines in the Scripture which we have read. 12. One: God's Voice is the Voice of Omnipotence, by reason of creation, for God said and there was. See, that's exactly over here in the Book of John. We saw just briefly, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." [John 1:1]The same was "In the beginning with God, all things were made by Him, (the Word) and without Him was not anything made that was made." [John 1:3] The Scripture says so. Secondly: We know that the same Voice, (not another voice) deals in the affairs of mankind. We read that in Genesis. (See?) God's Voice of authority is the Voice of Omnipotence. (See?) Creative Word, and the administrative Word is of the same Voice. Because you'll notice that the greater Voice was the same Voice that was administrative in the Garden and in future things down the road. And there is no difference, it is one and the same Voice. The Voice that created is the same Word that maintains that which was created. That's why He's got an 'Administrative Voice'. (See?) Because He's dealing in redemption. He’s dealing in Omnipotent, and He's got to do it, that first time. And there is no schism, and that Voice of His administration is proved with creation. (See?) Yes sir! 13. He always holds it that way. (See?) That Word, that's why Bro. Branham, could say so importantly, "Don't you ever read that Bible without seeing every Word in Jesus Christ in there." He said, "If you don't see It, go over and read It again." Because It's in there. He's in the law He's in the Psalm, He's in the history. He's in the song. He's in the prophet. He's everywhere. (See?) Never changes. (See?) Remember that in administrative Voice, that Voice coming out. You see, if there is no difference, it is the one and same Voice. (See?) And God ruling in affairs, God's judging, God's moving, always in line with what God wants. That tremendous Omnipotent Voice of Almighty God. Every Word, whatever God Speaks is Omnipotent. Whatever He Speaks is Omnipotent. (See?) Because it supersedes then overcomes all else. And though men may denigrate it, and attempt to turn It, that Word will come forth. That must precede It, never change by the rotten, foul birds that lodge in its branches. That verse 13, must have never changed, so the whole world circumnavigated by the Christian religion and defiling the Name of Christ. No sir, that life is never changed. That Word is never changed. (See?) 14. The third: Don't ever think it ever will be, because It won't. It matters not where, or when, or why, or the who, It was spoken, no Word of God is void of power. Listen, Isaiah 55:11. (11) So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing where (un)to I sent it. Whenever when God Speaks, that Word prevails. Don't care if It's taken two thousand years. But just a minute here, It'll prevail. I believe what Bro. Branham said, "When He said, 'Let there be light', it didn't matter if that light came right now, or fifty thousand years later." (See?) The Word of Almighty God. Now, let It Speak It is always creative. Yes sir, because It cannot return void, It has got to do what It was said. And that means that every Word of God is creative. (See?) Not just reforming, creative. (See?) Because He's going to do what It said, and It will do what It says It's got to be creative, because He's got to take the place of something else every single time. And then It speaketh is always creative, because It is always omnipotent, or superseding over anything else. And thus, It will always bear the fruit of His content. It will always bear the fruit of its content, living, creative performing works. (11) So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: (if there is ever a 'Thus saith the Lord') it shall not return unto me void, but It shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. See, the unveiling Word of Almighty God. When God speaks that Word at sometime, and in someplace It must manifest itself whether it be a permit, or a blessing, or a curse, or even a comment. Even a comment, It is always perfect. 15. Hebrews 4: (12) For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (13) Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. And what is it? It's the Word coming to the people and they have to do with Him, and that Word supersedes all other words and can never return to Him void. It will not return void. No sir, the Word of God sent; the Word of God spoken, will not return void. 16. Listen, It cannot return void and no one can present It, not anybody. Because It says over here in the Book of Matthew 16:17-18, which we all know now. It says: (17) …Jesus (said,) Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And that absolutely is by a revelation of Word. Because Peter said, "Thou art the Christ the Son of the living God." [Matthew 16:16] And that was the absolute Word of God in the lips of Peter which came to him and he said it. Here's what Jesus said: (18) And I say (to) thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock (revelation of God the Word) I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (No sir.) Now, let me show you how that Word works here, no matter what comes against It. Here's a case of Bro. Branham with Hattie Wright, (her name is Sis. Hattie Mosher of course for she's married) and she said, "Bro. Branham, that's nothing but exactly right." And he said, "For that saying, you ask what you will and you're going to get it." And she got it. (See?) 17. Now, what about in Windsor, Ontario though, when that Church of Christ man came to him from Detroit and he tried to trick Bro. Branham. And Bro. Branham being so tired and so dull, couldn't catch on until the guy said, "Oh, that's how you do it." "What do you say?" The vision broke, he said, "Sir, you see that man in the gallery, you sat with him, you're a Church of Christ minister, you sat with him in your office and you determined to prove me a fraud, and (he said) you said you lined up all those diseases on you." And the man got so scared, he said, "Sir that's right, I'm sorry," from the balcony. And he turned to the man there and he said, "Sir, all those diseases are on you now." And he said, "Don't, you take them off me." He said, "I didn't put them on you." Discernment, (see?) that Word. Oh yes brother/sister, you can think the armies can push God. You can think Russia can push God. You can think the pope can push God. You can think your own premier can push God. You can think the mayor around you push God. Let me tell you something, you ain't going to push Him nowhere. I don't care what it looks like, they haven't got a prayer, because they haven't got a Word. And every prayer has got to be based on a Word. If there's no Word, there's no prayer. Oh, I know Pentecostal's don't believe that, but I'm not Pentecostal. (See?) 18. Now, without using one verse of Scripture, logic itself must assert that a Sovereign God, God's Word is as sovereign as God Himself. And that's true, you are as good as your word in this respect. There's no use you're going to lick the man next door, unless you can lick him. If you haul off and hit him, he doesn't go down, he knocks you flat, it shows you just what you're as good as your word was. You couldn't lick him, and he flattens you, right? You and me and my words, you and your words just same thing. There's no way about it, and that's exactly true. For God to be a sovereign God, then His Word has got to be Sovereign, or He just isn't sovereign. Because sovereign means in everything. Then, as Bro. Branham said, "The infinite God could look down and tell me, tell me how it's done, tell me how many times that flea would bat its eyebrows, or eyeballs, and how many it would to make an ounce of fat." That's right. That's right. God is one with His Word. Because God is Omnipotent Word. Because when God speaks, that's it. (See?) 19. Now, God is in His Word. That's true. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." [John 1:1] So, God was in Him. Because that same One is in the bosom of the Father, the Logos, the complete revelation by Word. And It says, "The only begotten has revealed Him, which is imperative, which exegeted Him, which is to tell by Word, to explain Him, bring Him in view. And that One that was in…is now in His bosom, the Christ came down here and He was shown forth. (See?) Now, He was…"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (See?) God and His Word is the same. God is in His Word. That is what It said, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." And, "All things where made by Him." [John 1:3] Whatever that Word is God. Yes sir. Whatever that Word is, God is, It's Godhead. Why? Because God is going to bring It right to pass. One of those kind of promises, got to get to His Word. (See?) 20. Now, whatever God is, the Word must be. Why? Because It is the attributes of God, and God is made of attributes. It is that which reveals, shows His attributes, reveals Him. So, It is God Himself revealing Himself. How can anybody reveal God, but God? (See?) And that's got to come by Word, and so therefore that Word coming gives us a revelation of God. For, It was with God and It was God. Then if it was with God, and It was God and It came here It's still God, (see?) showing Him forth in His attributes. Now notice, this is Scripture what I've been looking at. And I'm speaking It only, I'm not trying to originate It, I'm not trying to figure It. I'm just saying It. Because there's places in my mind too where it's not crystal clear for the very reason I've got a set by faith like anybody else has got to set by faith. (See?) I'll see so far, you'll see so far, but we believe what the Word says. He is the Word. (See?) 21. Now, if I am putting it right then I can honestly say that if God speaks, then the Word has come. Now listen: then if the Word comes, God has come, and omnipotence has come. Now, that's just the store I’m in. Because we just want to know now if we're on the right track. Now, if God's speaks, then the Word comes. So, that's natural, as God speaks then the Word does, because if God speaks, It's got to be God's Word. He's not going to quote me and quote you. Then if the Word comes, God has come. (See?) Now, that a little tough to follow. It's a little tougher to follow, because we say "That's God, and that's God's Word." But you're not getting the picture. What a man says, is that man. Because he's committed through an action to back up His Word. Why he says to Abraham, "I'm going to punch your nose in." The first thing I'm picking myself off the ground practically. My word's no good. I'm no good. Nothing, you can see one minute God's going to even say one little teeny thing, and that Word not being exactly if He said it. (Uh?) 22. All right, we're beginning understand then. (See?) Now, you see, If God speaks, then the Word comes. Then if the Word comes, God has come. If I tell that sounds like a poke in the nose, and I do, I flatten him. My word means the same thing. And the fact is, if my word has come, I have come because I done it. I got a good friend out east there, that his name is Don Hawkesbury, he's one of the sweetest guys, I really love him. Because my landlord knows about him, I guess the landlord knows those in this Message. And you know it's quite a few, he thinks Don is the best of the works. He's one of the very best. And here's Don gets a good old fashioned boy, nobody's …?... but he's sweet and kind. And one day one guy just got on his nerves, said some dirty filthy things, and came up and telling that Don said, "I wish you hadn't said that, because I got to beat you up." And he stopped, he walked over pummel the guy, just knocked him for a loop. 23. I'm going to tell you one thing, when God's Word came, Don had come. Yes sir! God's Word said, "I'm going do it, It has come and there's not use you fooling, get your dukes up”. And got away with blackmail and he did. Now, this is a pretty lame illustration, but I want you to get the point across what I'm talking about. When the Word comes, Godhead comes. Because He never says one Word, but you better believe He's right there. (See?) You're getting the picture now a little better? Because it's the best I can explain to you. See, I know the human mind doesn't get all these things. But I'm doing my best. Now, let the Word come and God has come. Look, the Omnipotent Word is amongst us, and declaring at that time what omnipotent Word, God is performing and manifesting amongst us. Now, that's not a Philadelphia lawyer. That is a very excellent … definition of it. Let me go over it again: Listen, I said: If God speaks, then the Word comes. Then if the Word comes God has come, and Omnipotence has come, because God is Omnipotent. Let the Word come and God has come, and thus Omnipotence, that's Omnipotent, God is amongst us declaring at that time what Omnipotent Word God is performing, and manifesting amongst us. 24. How are you going to know what God's doing when this Book tells you right here, "The Kingdom of God is like a mustard seed," all messed up? (Uh?) Now, how are you going to know the hour of which you live, and what's going on unless God comes on the scene by His Word and He tells you what He is doing amongst you right now? Then therefore, if that Word comes, then that is God performing, manifested, revealing at that hour what He is doing. (You see?) Now, that's just simple, or as It says in Isaiah 55:11 (11) So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish… But hold it, you got to be ready to back your word up. Then it isn't just words, it's got to be God. Because how is that Word going to explode and come right to pass unless there's something in It? "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." [John 1:1] (11) …it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Then, if this is true what I said, and It's right, let the Word come and Omnipotence has come. (See?) Let the Word come and God has come. But Omnipotence is amongst us declaring at that time what God is performing and manifesting amongst us. (Right!) 25. That's it, the Word of God comes, then It comes with you. Isn't that what I read in Matthew 16: then? "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. Flesh and blood didn't reveal it to you what God was doing." [Matthew 16:16-17] See, the Word is one. Just one, because that Word must explode. It's got to be a reality. (See?) Let there be life, light. Let there be dogs, cat. No, dog. Let there be rain, sunshine. No, rain. (See?) Now listen, what is doing it? God in that Word. And what does that Word become? It's become a vehicle for God. (See?) Now, it could be equally said, "When I come amongst you, I will not return without having fulfilled the purpose of My visitation, but by My Omnipotence bring to pass what I have counseled for you." I'll read it again to you. Listen, it could be equally said, "When I come amongst you, I will not return without having fulfilled the purpose of My visitation, but by My Omnipotence bring to pass what I have counseled for you." In other words, the Word of God declares it, I'm amongst you, I'm filled and don't you ever be otherwise, because it's going to happen whether you believe it or want it, or not. And God has to blaze it out. (See?) Never will it be without Blood. Remember what Amos said, "Oh, when God, speaks there's got to come forth a prophet." [Amos 3:7] (See?) 26. Now, what's the prophet going to do? He's just going to reveal God, and It's the Word. And then that Word explodes as it were, into manifestation, and the reality comes to pass, and only God can do just what’s God. Now, since God's Word contains His very Life of Omnipotence, then that Living Word will perform exactly as It said. "So shall My Word be that goes forth out of My mouth: It shall not return unto me void, it shall accomplish that which I please, and It shall prosper in the thing whereto I send it." [Isaiah 55:11] Now, I'm going to tell you something, God sent His Word and He said, "So and so, and so and so." The devil came right in and he said, "So and so, and so and so." And he said, "Thou shalt believe what God said. Because though God is real, and He's wonderful, I’m much more wonderful. So, I'll just fiddle with this Word down here, and not fiddle with that Word down here." 27. And God's Word keeps going up, and God's Word keeps going up. And you watch him, he’s in a bluff. And God raises a standard, raise that Word right back to it. Raise It back to …?... That's how He raises a standard against the enemy. It's the Word, because that Word won't return void. (See?) God knew He and the Word are one. You want a standard today? You want a standard my brother, my sister when evil is coming to a head, when the voices of hell are coming to a head? When the power of darkness is coming to a head? When the world is falling apart? When judgment is looking you in the eye? There's only one standard, that's the Word of God. because He's that Word that's gone out of My mouth declaring Myself in My provision in that hour. He said, "That Word will not return void, but I'm going to accomplish…whereunto I said according to My purpose." And that's the whole emphasis of the first chapter of the Book of Ephesians, the purpose of Almighty God. Standing, (see?) oh my, how the Word of God in Its corrected form It's just to take us there, because He said He will do it. 28. Now, this is pretty wonderful as far as I'm concerned. But we need to know how is this going to come to us. Well, we all know how it is going to come, it's going to come as according to Deuteronomy 18:19-22, Amos 3:8, 2 Peter 1:21, and Hebrews 1:1. I don't have to read the one in Deuteronomy, because It tells you if you want to go…how the Word of God is going to come, It tells you. It says, "If a man comes and he's got a 'Thus saith the Lord', and the thing comes to pass, you hear him." [Deut 18:22] Well, you know what that man is going to say what God said. And God's right, because that's His Word. Right there, take your hat off, take your shoes off. In other words, God will come. Okay, that's over in Deuteronomy. All right, over here in the Book of Amos which we read, that the Bible speaks of in chapter 3:8 to get It exactly right. It says, (8) The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy? Tells you right there, when God speaks you got to have a prophet. 29. Okay, let's go to 2 Peter now, chapter 1:21 (21) For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: … Oh, certainly not. Certainly not. Oh, why listen, that’s the Word of Almighty God showing Himself, reduced to a creature form which is Word. God standing amongst the folk by Living Word. Word that produces Itself. Was in Itself has the entire power to produce Itself. Certainly. As Bro. Branham said, “Plant an orange seed. Every orange that's going to come forth from that tree, is already in that seed." Not one less, and not one more. Now, here's a prophet, he can't speak by himself by the will of man, (21) …but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. Then, who was doing the prophecy in that man? The Holy Ghost was doing the prophecy in that man. (See?) And whose Word was it? God's Word, that Word God. Because the Word in God cannot be separated. Say, "Thus saith the Lord, tomorrow morning at this time there's going to be as much …?... in the place, that a man said. And they said, "Oh, boy, what's he going to do? Open the windows of heaven let's call it" Yeah, yeah, yeah, you simpleton, how are you going to, when all you do is look on it. And that's all you will get for looking and you'll die. 30. Let me tell you something, that Word absolutely produces Itself. You tell me Word produce Itself, I say, "No, it's God!" You can't disassociate the Word from God. A man's word from Him is that one. That's where, "In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things made by Him. All things maintained by Him, and the Word became flesh." [John 1:] It had to be, because that's the way God was doing it by a prophet. (You see?) 31. Okay, let's go back to Hebrews now, chapter 1:1 (1) God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers (in) the prophets, (not by the prophets, but in the prophets, you see?) He was in the prophets by the Holy Ghost. God was in there right down the line there. Now, God was actually in the prophets by His Holy Spirit. But what was that Spirit? The Living Word. The Living Word. 32. Now, let's get a picture. Revelation 5:6 (6) And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne… Now, in the midst of the throne, the supreme authority and power unveiled, throne …?... on. (6) …in the midst of the elders… All the wisdom, all the …?..., all the perfection mine could bring forth in God's creative being shall bring forth. (6) …stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. Listen, I can read that in the Greek perfectly this way: "Having seven horns, even seven eyes, which seven eyes are the seven Spirits of God." Now, that's man, listen, the authority is the 'horn', the power, and the power of God is sent forth in seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits which were seven men in the flesh. To bring the Word of God to every Age. And you show me one Age that wasn't fulfilled one hundred percent according to that Word. In spite of that little snuff and even what that adds up to. (See?) It’s all up to men. (See?) Man, nobody at this hour, it takes men to do it. Men identified as the Holy Ghost to the people. Yes sir. More the results there for one minute. God in flesh, God with a skin on, is not little silly thing of Bro. Branham's, but just keep it where it belongs. (See?) Now, here we see then the Living Word, God's Omnipotent Himself coming down with the Word. Then God the Word was in the prophet and God revealed Himself to the extent of the Word for that hour, or a Message. (See?) God revealed Himself, God showing Himself, God producing His Life in authority in that hour as to what He said would be in that hour. (See?) Yes sir. 33. Now, thus God was in the midst of the people and then in the people who receive the Word which came forth to them. (See?) Now, let's take a look at that. Now, we went from the prophet to bring us a messenger, he went to the people. Now, we're going to go to the Book of Titus. Now, we're going to take a look at chapter 1, verse 3. (3) But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour; Now, here's a little interpretation: (3) But in his own private and strategic season, He made known His Word in a proclamation with which I was entrusted in accordance with the commandment of God. You'll find Bro. Branham literally says that, I think on page 60 of [Trying to Do God a Service Without It Being God’s Will 65-11-27] Now, It says right here: "But in his own private and strategic season, He made know His Word in a proclamation with which I was entrusted in accordance with the commandment of God." Now, you know right there if you study your Bible there were certain things that those men said in the Word that was not for that hour. Either, because they couldn't take It, or it wasn't the time. So therefore, God was not going to act beyond Himself to what the Word was. So, He sent the exact Word for that hour in that exact Message. And that exact Message came right to pass, and nobody could stop it, because it was God. Because God and His Word is one. When God speaks brother/sister that's God. Yes sir. That's exactly true. 34. Now, this illuminates Hebrews 1:1-2, we look at It: (1) God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers (in) the prophets, (2) Hath in these last days spoken unto us (in) his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, … That's the whole Word, He administers the whole Word responsible for speaking in tongues. to come. Bring forth that Word, that's the same as God, God does that, that's fine, that's it, [claps hands] that's God. No doubt, 'Thus Saith the Lord', never fails. Can't fail. God's Holy Word never fails, because God is that Word. Yes sir, the Word came out of Him. What comes out of God, but God. Remember, He's inviolate. He doesn't have bowels and things like you and I have. He's not a created being, He's God. If that Word comes out of God, He's God. God opens His mouth, that Word comes forth, that's God absolutely. It's going to do it. (See?) Because only that can come out of Him. Now, the full revelation, the full Word, full God, for fullness of all time and eternity, all of it. The one form of God in which He could indwell fully a man, (the others were only a part of it) the one way that God could indwell a man is what? By Word. All the Word in Him. See, He can handle it. No problem, He can handle that. 35. Now, the others were only part. The people before Him looked toward Him, and we all looked back and God's Word is all fulfilled in Him. God has spoken to us in the Son. (See?) Why? Because the whole Word is in Him, all things made by Him. All things maintained by Him. And He is the One giving the Messages showing His Word, what He's doing, what He's wants, and what will happen in every single hour, and nothing can stop Him. And remember, in redemption Scripture says, "Whom He foreknew He predestinated. Then He called, then He justified, then He glorified. What do you say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? [Romans 8:29-31] Why do I care about your mustard seed getting corrupted? But why care about the big church organization? You think that's going to stop God? It's not going to stop God at all. (See?) Now listen, brother/sister, to understand this is where we get our victory … (See?) …of sluffing things off like a duck sheds water. But you can't do it, until you understand this. You got to…listen, where you got to see where Bro. Branham said. When old Shimel came out there and cursed David. David said, "Let him curse, God told me to." "You mean to say that God that fellow to do that?" Yes, God told him. (See?) 36. Who was it that raised up Pharaoh? God raised up Pharaoh. Who raised up Herod? The faces of men, God raised him up. Who killed John the Baptist? Somebody that God raised up, the faces of men and put him on that throne. He fills that tree out there full of those foul birds. …?... And all the while God Word's going on, and on to completion, and it never could turn it otherwise, because it's God. (See?) Never can prophecy. All this was in the Son, that's why It's the Son of man revealed, It's all in Him. And if there's anything about God whatsoever then can be revealed and given by Itself, It’s in that Son. Every bit of it. (See?) Now, it's all there. Now that God was in the prophets, a little Word here, a little Word there, but remember, that whole Word is Jesus Christ Himself. He was by measure of His Spirit in this One and here, then suddenly He's got His Own body and all of God came into Him. Body's in Christ. (See?) So, we don't ever need to look anywhere but to Him. (See?) He gives that One that will give us the full revelation. Now, God became Word incarnate. All the attributes, all the Word was in Him. 37. Now, in Deuteronomy 18:20-22, which we read the other night sets forth the earmark of where the Voice of Omnipotence is. It is in a vindicated ministry of the Word. God vindicates a man for our hour in whom is the Word lest it happens as in 1 Corinthians 4:15. Let's go back to It and take a look at It, that this could happen. Now: (15) For though (you) have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet (you) have not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. Yes sir, you can have ten thousand preachers roughly, and preach the same Gospel that Paul preached, you did that, maybe not perfect like he did. And he said to his people, "You got ten thousand instructors without the Word, remember one thing, I have begotten all of you through that Word that I brought you." Maybe you don’t understand that. They don't understand there's a Message in every Age. And you've got to come by that Word of the hour, because that is God in that Word and it’s accomplished, and when you put It in line with redemption, then here is where redemption comes in by the Living Word of God of that hour. Not the dead age, not the First Age, not the Second Age, not the Third, not the Fourth, not Five, not Six, but Seven. Got to be Seven, because they all die. See, God's no longer in that Age, it's a fresh, fresh Manna. It's a fresh Word. But you see, It's the same Word progressing, and coming up to a climax. A finale, with all the wrath of man, and all that man has done is going to be lost. That mustard seed tree is going to be chopped down, and every single foul bird driven out. And only the Bride is going to come in. (See?) God's doing it. 38. Now, He is the One that brings the Word also. Let's go to 1 Corinthians 14:36, Paul the apostle vindicating himself again, which is perfectly alright. (36) What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? They never had the Word, it was the man that brought the Word. And they all got to come according to the Word that the man brought. It's a funny thing right today, I don't understand how people always size me like Bro. Branham and take his place. You've got guys running around just drumming up thunders, this man’s a thunder, that guy's a thunder, and they're appointing seven thunders, or course they're one of them, they're really the head-thunder. I tell you, they sound more like a rumbling stomach to me than any kind of a thunder, I guess. Talk about nonsense. Oh how, they haven't even learned here what it says, and the apostle Paul. (See?) God using a man, one messenger every single Age, to bring forth His vindicated Word. 39. Now, 1 Corinthians 2:4-5. I'm doing this awful fast, but it's okay, you'll get some of It. (4) And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: (5) That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. Now, in other words God vindicating His Word, that It was the Word of God and you were standing in that Word. Now, how are you going to stand except God's in that Word? You can't do it! God's in His …?... See, the gates of hell won't be there. Now watch, once the revelation was given and the entire Word set forth, God sealed It. Revelation 22:18-19. And He said, "Don't add a Word, don't take a Word." Right? But in order to reveal the Word of the hour to the Bride, for it'll be two thousand years and building according to the Book He wrote in the past tense, before it was ever started. He gave Seven Church Age messengers, each with the revelation of Christ the Word. Revelation 2:1, "Unto the messenger which is in the church of Ephesus…he that walks in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks that has the seven stars, and so on." In other words, It was the revelation of Him Who is that Word. You see, every single time without one miss. Each time it was back to Christ Who is the Word and a true revelation manifested of God. Every single time, every single time. Always the Word came forth brother/sister, and that was God, because God alone can save, but you're saved by the Word. 40. Why? Because God spoke It. Like I said a while ago, a fellow is going to hit you, and he hits you. He wasn't the Word. You've got to see the same thing. Absolutely that Word brother/sister, that Word is not void of power. Why? Because God is in that Word. You see, and it's Omnipotent Word. It cannot fail. (See?) Now, but for the end time, God predestinated the Seven messengers to be a prophet, a God given prophet who would bring the last revelation of the Word. He will be the last one to reveal the Son of man, because Son of man was Seven Church Ages, Seven Stars, Seven Spirits, Seven horns, the whole thing. And each time going to reveal the Son of man. (See?) Who is our Redeemer. 41. Now, this man according to Matthew 17:11 was to be a prophet in the mold of Elijah and he's sets forth Acts 3:19-24, that his ministry would be proven by a mighty miracle ministry of Almighty God. Then he would be that one who would bring all the Word, the full revelation of It. And remember, we showed you the other night that the Melchisedec revelation in the Book of Hebrews was not made known, It was only set forth. Then I cannot tell you, because you're not fit to repeat It. Yet people tell me we're not maturing. Do you realize the right tonight, connect, because Melchisedec's ministry is right here proving that we are mature enough, when we saw It, we caught It? You say, "Bro. Vayle, do you see a mature?" According to Lee Vayle I am anything, but mature. But according to God's Word, I am mature, because I caught It. He said, "It's too hard for me to tell about this man." But William Branham preached on, and identified It by the Word of God for you, take it just where you were according to the prophet, and we're mature. "Oh, we're having a dream." Well then be a dream. Why don’t you have a dream? Have it your own way, but the Word of God says you're mature. Said, "You're not any longer, when you get [blank spot on tape] …I hope you're catching something. You catch what you want. I don’t mean to rude, but remember, Bro. Vayle doesn't tell anybody anything, you have to admit. He's got a mess of pottage and he knows who's eating. And if you want some you get your own. I've taken the lid off what I see. If you like what I got, bless you, it's there for you. If you don't like it, praise God, I just put the lid back. What you want, I ain't nobody from nowhere. (See?) Don't anybody get an idea, I’m not trying to tell anybody any kind of a thing. I get burned up when anybody tries make me an authority. I am not an authority. I'm a preacher, and a very poor one at that. 42. Now, listen this fellow here is set forth in Acts 3:19-24. Thus, you will see, see first that the restoration ministry is given great pre-eminence in that he is numbered with Moses, (that's Acts 3:19-24) Jesus and Samuel, and Elijah. Four, which means deliverance. Now, but second, (and this is very important) the very spirit of all of them will be in this Elijah. Let me explain it by this: The Spirit pertains to the ministry. It's the same Spirit as It was in Seven Church Ages, showing it seven different times, in seven different ways by the Word, you've got four great men with tremendous ministries. And every single manifestation in those ministries come forth in this man. Now, (right, okay) notice first: Moses was both historian and revealer of present and future Word. Because Moses revealed the past fulfilled Word, which nobody knew anything about. It had been lost. He had to reach back by the Holy Ghost and write the Book of Genesis. Then when he got through he took them where they were, and then took them on to their stopping place, which was Christ. Right? Because when the Christ came, we're finished, turned Him down, right? 43. Okay, now Jesus did not bring the Word as did Moses, but He was vindicated by His ministry. And He set the record straight proving that He was the One of Whom the Scripture, or Moses spake the Living Word. Now, that same Spirit tells you the same thing today. (See?) Okay, now just keep following. Now, this proceeded to open the way for the ushering in of the kingdom under the Gospel of the reality of a sacrifice which was no longer a type but a fulfillment. (See?) And we saw that back there. Because Moses had nothing but fights, (see?) then Jesus came and fulfilled it. Now, that’s Moses ministry leads right up to Christ. Now, Samuel's ministry we have great discerning and correcting, and warning what is wrong with organization. Trying to get them back to the Spirit of God by the prophet. (Right?) And an Elijah we have the nature of the man, and the showdown in a Jezebel system. (See?) All of this is a part of restoration… 44. Now listen, thus our prophet could reach into the past, he took the history book and by the Holy Ghost he took every single Church Age messenger and placed all of it, then he reached into the present, then he looked down the road by seven visions right to the future. Right to America being destroyed by the atomic bomb. Listen, also, he was I mentioned that Moses he was an extraordinary leader . Now, once it was established that Omnipotence spoke of this prophet, that same Word of Omnipotence came to the people. In other words, he went behind the Pillar of Fire, and the Pillar of Fire came into him and he went to the people, and the Word was veiled in the prophet. Now, once the Word was delivered to the prophets, or unveiled, and came into the view of the people, that finished that ministry at that time. What if the Word was. Now, the Voice of Omnipotent and the Word of Omnipotent are one and the same. Certainly, the Word and the Voice is the same thing. Now, as it had to stay behind the veil, (which It did) and It can't change, It must now hide behind the veil, a creature form, because that's what It was, and watch, (see?) get the picture straight, God in the Pillar of Fire came to the prophet. The Pillar of Fire come to the prophet, the Word of God now veiled in him, he's got to go to the people and that Word coming out of him, It's got to be veiled again. (See?) God cannot remain unveiled. He can't. Then where is the Word going to go? Nowhere, to the people. Now, who is It going to go to? "He that hath an ear let him hear." [Revelation 2:7] Who's listening? Those who are listening to the prophet! As John said, "He that's of God hears us, and if you don't hear me you're not of God." Now, Bro. Branham said, "It's the same thing in every Church Age messenger, he that heareth me is of God, and he that does not hear me is not of God." Then where does that Word go? Where's it veiled? It's veiled in the listener. Now, that's where It is. 45. Now listen, thus It came to be veiled in the Bride. It lodged in her mind, and became the Word of God of the hour to this time. It was the Message of the hour. (See?) And what was that Message? Well, I'll tell you what the Message was, it's over here in the Book of Revelation, (I'm just going to …let’s just make this a quick one) the 3rd chapter. (14) And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; Now, what is 'Amen?" He's the One who winds it up. What's the Word say? "He's that's the same yesterday, today and forever, [Heb 13:8] and had never changed. He's doing the same thing right now, he must have been a creation of God. God creating Himself in the form of human flesh and about to bring them all out just right. There He is, the end time. 46. Now: (15) I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would (you) cold or hot. Now, if Bro. Branham ministry didn't manifest that, you tell me what did? You listen brother/sister. Here is a messenger come with a Message, and then they just looked at it, and just hummed and hawed. "Hey, that's a great ministry, yes that man's of God. Yes, there's no doubt, because only God could do. I'll tell you what, you just tell us what to do, Hallelujah." Oh, he's not, he's telling you to listen. He's telling you to listen. To veil the Word, but they kicked the Word out. Now watch: They were never hot or cold, they were lukewarm. They could tell It was God, but they didn't know which way the wind was blowing. Sure, there's no way of knowing. 47. Now, He said, (16) …because (you're) neither cold nor hot, (you're lukewarm) I will spue (you) out of my mouth. In other words, you will no longer speak for Me ever, because you've turned Me down. The Word of God's not in you, is It? The prophet spoke for God, he was the mouth of God. (See?) Now, what was in the mouth of God really? It was that Word coming forth. Now, He said, "I'll spew you out, because you can't be My mouth piece." (17) (You say,) I am rich, increased with goods, and need of nothing; and (don't know you're) wretched, miserable, poor, (naked,) blind… Now, see what the Message is. (18) I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, (you may) be rich; white raiment, (you may) be clothed, the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; anoint (your) eyes with eyesalve, that (you may) see. (It's really go and get eye-salve, because you don't have it, you just think you have.) Now: (19) As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Now, the Message at the end time is a Message of repentance, it's a change the mind. In other words, it shall leave the old message and get a brand new one. Open your mind and get a new Message. And it starts with this: your day is over, you need the Word. But they don't what that, you know that as well as I do. 48. Now: (20) …I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, …and will sup with him, and he with me. (Now, sure they don't want.) (21) To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, as I overcame, and set down with my Father in his throne. (22) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. Now, He says right here at the end time, I'm winding the whole thing up. The Word of God at the end time is an absolute wind up, and the beginning of the creation of God has to manifest Himself that He is the 'Amen', That He is the faithful One, "yesterday, today and forever." And He stands right here in His ministry of the Word, the Word revealed by the promise comes the Amen. I see It, and I hope …?.... It's no longer down the road, it's now! Because we're already in It by the Message that came, because He does all three in descending the Stone cut without hands, is coming right down now. As proof at this very hour. Now He said, "Change your mind, change your mind." (See?) get away from it. But of course, they won't do it. 49. Now look it, over here in Acts 3:21, let's take a look at It. All right, now: (21) Whom the heaven must receive until the times of (restoration) of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. It tells you right here, that Jesus Christ in flesh must remain there until the whole Word of God concerning Him has been opened at the end time. It’s been absolutely restored. Now listen, let me ask you a question: what did Moses do? Did exactly this. What did Jesus do? He did exactly this. What's this end time man to do? Exactly this. In other words, he's going to declare the Word of the hour and tie It all together, filling in every loose spot, showing what was missed out, what was messed up, and bring it all right here. And Christ Himself standing there, proving it that He was that Word all the time. Omnipotent Word. Christ in the Church, the seven stars, seven Spirits manifested in human flesh. Always with a veil on It, and now at the end time the Bride is the veil of the Word of God. Yes sir, the Bride is the veil of the Word of God. Now there she is. 50. Now, listen to this…born of sex. We know that don't have to show it. We are at the end of the Seven Thunders. We are in Revelation 10:1-7. See, no doubt about it we're at the very end time. Now, the vindicated Word of Omnipotence, Christ the mind of the Bride and possesses it. Now, it would have to according to Hebrews 6: and Revelation 3: because It says categorically that the people who turn this ministry down, partaking of it. Like those men who say, "All those things that Bro. Branham did, we can do it too." A voice said, "You can do it." It says, "Because they will not stick with that Word, they will never have another chance." Same thing I mentioned over here in…Acts, It says right here, "And when they don't listen they are to be destroyed." Every single thing showed here brother/sister, that that Message turned down is turned down God…God demonstrated right there. (See?) That turned down the Word, is to turn down Almighty God. But the Bride has that Word, and we know that there’s something in your mind. Because the word repentance says, "change your mind." And remember, only that Bride has the changed mind. Only one, see? We're identifying right down the line. 51. Now, the vindicated Word of Omnipotence…now I always keep my thought in mind. The vindicated Word of Omnipotence, remember, the Word that anybody else is preaching is not that Omnipotent Word, it is merely a word about the Omnipotent Word, but It's not the Omnipotent Word. No siree. It is not, It is merely about It, is a dissertation but is not It. It's like somebody painting a picture about Jesus, but it's not Jesus. Otherwise, the picture you want to see Him. But look the end time there's many preachers preaching about the Word, but they're not preaching the Word. (See?) Now, this vindicated Word of Omnipotence strikes the mind and possess it according to Hebrews 6:6. By faith and the Holy Spirit it becomes the life of the soul. See, because It's the Holy Ghost. This vindicated ministry and Message of Omnipotence was given to the defeat every one of our senses, and whatever attributes lie within the spirit and soul of man which would deny the reality of the Living Word. I stand there right tonight, I know there was a vindicated prophet, possible and I don't care what else there is. I know he's right. You can have anything else and throw it in the sewer, don't even bother me. Don't talk to me, I am nothing, I'm as bigoted as they come. I'm as hard hearted and hard headed as they come. I have no message but this Message. Whether I've got it right or wrong, It's a vindicated Word and I am not in anything else. 52. Now listen, this is why this Word was vindicated given, to defeat everyone of our sins. Oh, we come along and say, "Oh, this is truly fine fellowship." I said, "Hallelujah," Let the little green men come, and I'll say, "Too late old boy, I done saw the prophet," Now, I mean it. I don't care, "Oh, look at this lady, she's dead now, what a ministry, hallelujah." Sorry I've done solved the problem, I'm sorry. You say, "Oh Bro. Vayle, you're funny." You think I'm somebody. I ain't nobody, I hope you recognize that, because you're dreaming of somebody. You're in with this at this point when you like it at hand. But a lot of guys think if they can dumb me on and get me on their side it'll do something. That's the stupidest thing in all the world. You know…that's the truth. People think there's something there, but there's nothing there. I only stand with one thing, there was a vindicated prophet living that Word, who restored and proved It to you. Whether I've got it right or wrong, it doesn't mean one thing. It means one thing, It's God's Word that's going to come forth, because It can't fail. (See?) Now, I believe I've got it right, or I wouldn't be preaching this hard. But the point is, I don't it. Right? So, don't let my heart preach to get you one way or the other. 53. Now, this ministry and message of Omnipotence was given to defeat everyone of our senses, and whatever attributes lie within the spirit and soul of man which was denied the reality of the living Word, because this is the only Word that was ever backed up for two thousand years. The only one, read your history books. I've had the church father's in my hand, I've got them now in my home. I've got big volumes of history. I've even had the Catholic encyclopedia. There is no place where a ministry like this ever was for two thousand solid years. Even Daniel is in it, who could have the vision, who could tell people their dreams. And they didn't even tell the person, “If you find one psychiatrist, one person who can tell you what your dream was when you forgot.” I just challenge you, you’ll never do it. Only Omniscience would do it, and It was the Word of God. Omniscient Word in William Branham with what he said. With whom…all things were naked, and revealed open to the eyes of Him with Whom you have to do. That wasn't William Branham, the was the Holy Spirit. That was that Word discerning right there, came right down and did It. in here. Now listen, that was given what, to defeat every single thing within it, until we stand back as we're His children. One thing I know, there's one thing I know, God Omnipotent Word that's …?... showing Himself blazing His Reality across the sky. Showing that He's the Lily of the Valley, the Rose of Sharon, the all together lovely. Yes sir. And we stand with Him. I don't care what comes by. Let people understand that they won't have to say Bro. Vayle be on our side, or that fellow is supposed to know something. No, brother/sister that's the most foolish thing in the world. Foolish thing in the world. It's the vindicated Message. 54. Now, let's look at this a moment and see this. All around us there are those who so sure they have the correct revelation. They're all over the world, foolish virgin. But, to which of them did God send and prove it by God speaking back to them? Only Bro. Branham with 'Thus saith the Lord'. You see, God only spoke back to William Branham like He spoke back to Jesus. And nobody spoke back to Paul. Spoke back to these great men, the great prophets, (see?) God only spoke back. Now, where is their vindication? Their vindication simply lies in them taking Scripture, and then their own strength, try to show that by their minds they have got something. Then what about when God speaks back? Well, forget your education. That's where your PhD's and DD's and all this junk go to. Now here, only William Branham had 'Thus saith the Lord', that take care of to whom shall we listen? Who has the Voice of God? Well, the prophet that God sent them. Now, but there was also the ministry that none other man had. He had that. It proves the Presence of Christ. It proved Him to be Hebrews 13:8, "the same yesterday, today and forever." Now, the ministry shows that. Now, here you've got God answering back. So, we've got a great ministry. 55. Now, the vindication of the Word, (now listen) the vindication of the Word and His Presence to act, is the thing. Now watch, the vindication of the Word and His Presence to act, is the thing. Now, Bro. Branham always said, "Vindicated Word, vindicated Word, vindicated Word." Now, I'm going to ask you a question: Who acted in that Word? Where was He? Then the vindicated Word and His Presence, (see?) to act, manifest, it's the same thing. So, William Branham said, "Vindicated Word," he is telling you that Jesus was right here doing it. And He was, because how are you going to have it any other way? (See?) Now, Omnipotence has Spoken, Matthew 28:18. Here It is: (18) And Jesus came (and said,) All power is given unto me heaven and in earth. He said, "I'm the Omnipotent One, I'm God, I've got It." Every single thing delegated is no longer delegated apart from Him. I stand here, I am that One. And It was, because God Almighty knew was indwelling Him. He had it all. Everything but… Now, the Thunders have thundered, God has Appeared in mighty signs and wonders, He has revealed Himself by the Word, having proved that It was He. Because vindicated Word is He acted. He does, see? It is time to place them together, to realize they are one, It is the same God. It is time to realize that He is even now indwelling us so that we are no more what we once were. Now look, you're no longer Pentecostal, you and I. Oh, I'm so glad about that one. 56. You know something? Way back in October 17, 1935, (I think is was) I was full of the Holy Ghost, received the Holy Ghost. Now, it was cold as all get out, in Calgary, oh it was a cold, bitter, night. And then the snow was blowing gently, and you know how the light poles in those days the light …used to light up like a soft beam from heaven. And I came out there so happy just dancing on the inside, and not outside of me, but inside of me, worshipping God. And I said, "Hallelujah, I'm full of the Holy Ghost, (and I said) but I'm one of those guys." I knew them. Something in my soul could not identify. I'm not trying to be mean I'm just telling you, you've had your experience, and I had mine, that night. And I could not identify. And you know brother/sister this is the only Message that I feel like I can identify with. I can't identify with anybody else. I've never been able to identify. I was always a renegade, I couldn't stand this hierarchal authority when he had to bow down to them, and they tell you the will of God. I've always been rebellious in that nonsense. 57. I'm going to tell you something: if God speaks to anybody for me, that might be mighty fine, I want to hear Him myself. I learned years ago, if there's nobody can pray for Lee Vayle, like Lee Vayle can pray for Lee Vayle. I'm going to ask you to quit, every one of you, for I get real serious. I want to do my own praying. Because I know I'm going to be doing it right. At least I'll be sure to speak it, and I will speak it. I couldn't stand all that nonsense. Never could stand it. Knew something was wrong. (See?) See what it is, you can't have that old message, because you're changed. You see? Remember my brother/sister, the truth of the matter is this, that that life that was original, kept going on, and what was left behind was not the real thing. The crow was not the real thing. The dove was the real thing. The wolf was not the real thing, the lamb was the real thing. Now, then if we have that nature as developed, how can we identify with the carrion of what the life was passed through? Yes sir. I don't want a piece of rotten beef. It's okay with me, but I'm no heathen. No wonder he's a rotten skunk, I won't do it. 58. Now listen, it is time to realize that He is even now the Word indwelling us, so that we are no more what we once were. Now, "He that a sheep hears My Voice and follows." [John 10:27] Remember, what was the Voice? The Word. What is the Word but God. And he that has the Word has God. You pile Word upon Word in order to come to full maturity, that's why the Five-Fold ministry brings the people right to Christ. Now, please don't look at a Five-Fold ministry as though they've got something. It's nothing in themselves, It's the Word. It's the Word. (See?) Don't ever look at a man as though he's anybody, because he's nothing. But you look at the Word. Now, Abram was no longer Abram, but neither was Sarai, Sarai, but Abram was Abraham, and Sarai, Sarah. Now, you say, "Well, just a minute now, what's he talking about?" I'm talking about the vindicated Word of the hour in the Melchisedec Priesthood, that said, "Listen the Son comes and gets out." This is the day. And of course, poor old Sarah she was all mixed up on herself. She thought she had something here, something there, she didn't. All she had to do was believe. So, she thought I’ll get my handmaid, God rebuked her. But Abraham wasn't snorting around, he was standing with that Word, I am what God said. (See?) And when she said under rebuke, and he by faith, (and remember, she was joined to him so God couldn't do a thing about it) and said, "I am what You said, this is that hour, [snaps fingers] they were that. 59. You see, and Bro. Branham said, I don't call you saints anymore, I call you Bride." And remember, Bride is the final, because it's the woman with the man that brings forth the child, because that's what marriage is for. "Be fruitful and multiply, to bring forth." [Genesis 1:28] (See?) And it's in this hour when she realizes (see?) that this is the hour of the summoning to the marriage supper. And she has been invited, she has heard that Word, then she knows that that Omnipotent Word grows in her. She is the veil of the Word of God, the prophet, no longer is the veil. She's just an ordinary veil like you and me once the Word is delivered. You see? But the Word is veiled in the Bride, and she becomes that veil. Now, how can the end time and vindicated full revelation of the mysteries, which is actually thunders, (see?) be a part of us, and we not bring forth that very Word which is Omnipotent God. Now how can we be a part of that, because we're veiling it now, how can it be, and we not bring forth the Word, because It says, "So shall My Words be that goeth forth out of My mouth, It shall not turn unto Me Void, but It shall accomplish that which I've pleased, and It shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent It." [Isaiah 55:11] Now, what's he sending a last day Message for? To get a Bride ready to be in the Rapture. Now, how in the world is God's Word in that Bride going to fail? It can't fail, because it's Omnipotent. (See?) 60. Now remember your kingdom. The little mustard seed that grew and took in the whole world and was just as messy as messy can be, but in there was the life. And God said, "It's going to be what I say in spite of the mess, And He wants people to realize that no matter what things look like, He's sovereign. And when that sovereign Word falls in a Bride, and she is part of that system, which she is, she's compelled by disassociating herself from the creeds and the dogmas, but she still made a difference. That's her one difference. She has come out and had a spiritual resurrection only from creeds and dogmas. Now, that Word is in her. And you tell me that Word is not going to bring forth that Word, has got to bring forth. Amen. So, she's got to bring forth where It is. And remember, the conditions have nothing to do with it. Because the Kingdom of Heaven is like to a man, who's kind of that, "Oh what hope, oh what faith. Oh, how great, oh how perfectly revealed. Mess, mess, mess, mess, mess. And all around, mess, mess, mess, mess, mess throughout. But it's the Word that's going to do it. See, It's got to do it, because His Word cannot return void. On every hand, it looks like It was voided. But He warned you, He said it's not void, it looks like it. Abraham doesn't look like Abraham, but is Abraham. At the end time the Bride might not look like a Bride, but she is a Bride. (See?) Now, that's where we've got to understand what I'm trying to drive at tonight. (See?) Now, how can the end time and vindicated full revelation of the mystery which is the Thunders actually be a part of us, and we not bring forth that very Word which is Omnipotent God? 61. Okay, Revelation 10:6. How is it going to he? Now: (6) And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: Now remember, God raised His hand to Abraham and swore by Himself concerning His seed. Now the seed runs out, because Jesus was the Royal Seed, and there's no longer flesh to prolong…cause there's no longer seed to prolong His days here in a Bride. And it's time now that they all come together at the Wedding Supper. So now He is called Bridegroom instead of mediator, and so on which He has been, Son of man, and so therefore that has run out. It's over. Election is over. Now, who brought that mystery? William Branham was the man that was used. Now, if we don’t know election as well at this very minute, but it is in this generation, now Bro. Branham brought it. Now who listens? The Bride. And where is the Word? In the Bride. All right then, how is God going to do it today? If it's on …?... 62. Now, you see what I'm trying to show you, just like the Blood of the Cross. The Blood of the Cross is separate from you and me. Jesus was not you and me. He was separate. He took our place. The guiltless stands with the guilty. Now, you've got the same thing with the Word. It's something that you and I did not provide talking, "What is the Word of God come out of you, or did it come to you only?" [I Corinthians 14:36] Well, he said, "Did it come to you?" He said, "…?..." Then act that way. What are you? You acknowledge the authority of where It came from. Which is not by calling William Branham, but the vindication of Jesus Christ, which was He Himself acting right there, showing who He is. Oh, my brother/sister, I don't know what else we're waiting for. You look down one of these great things, I want that…look it, I want lots of great things too, but just let me tell you, let me know that I am God's husbandry. His Word is in here, I've got no worries, because it's His Word and not mine. It' s His will and not mind. It's what He said and not mine. And He said, "That Word wouldn't fail." My word will fail, your word will fail, but His Word will not fail. It' going to bring forth what He said. 63. Now, Bro. Branham said, put it this way according to Isaiah 55:11. "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth." Until the messenger of the Church which is Laodicea, "These things saith the Amen the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God. I know thy works." [Revelation 3:14-15a] There's the Message coming down. All right, how did he do here? It came by the mouth of a prophet, I heard It, and you heard It. What happened? We believed It. And where did It go? We went into It. And what's It going to do? It's going to come forth. What's going to come forth? Christ the Living Word. What is It? "The Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning and creation of God." Oh brother/sister, if that doesn't make a Word God, I don't know what is. Not you and I to be faithful, not you and I just amen, we can't finish things. It's not you and I aren’t a creation of God. We can't have a resurrection, It's that Word. Now, He said, "I'm a proved to you I'm right here amongst you, I'm manifested. Then if that Word's vindicated, then It's Christ Himself. (You follow me?) It's perfect. 64. Now, the very word 'planted' in human vessels, must bring forth itself in that vessel, Because the Word of God says, "You don't have to plant, you can't of bare grain, the wheat." And of course, you saw the body come forth. What from? It's must have been the seed. Well look, if you've got the seed of God in you, properly fertilized in the right ground, how is it going to fail? That's one thing Bro. Branham said, "Look it, if I've got a proper germatized seed and the ground is fertilized all it needs is sun and rain." How is it going to be? (See?) Sitting in faith, resting like Ruth, composed, knowing…look it's in His hands. Now, the very word 'planted' in human vessels must bring forth itself in that vessel, because it cannot return void. It has to get a Bride ready to be presented to Jesus Christ. Sure. Now, God has a living Word and physically, or manifested It in a living Bride. For we are His body and He is the Truth, so we are a part of that Truth, because It's all Word. It's a Word body, It's a Truth body, we're part of It. You see, that's where the human mind doesn't want to stop and give way to God. Bro. Branham said, "Let your own thinking go." Let your own thinking go. What thinking? Your own thinking. Your own decisions, your own conclusions. What's people do? Let them go, don't think of anymore. 65. Like he said to Sis. Murray that came to him at the end of the Seals. He just couldn't get away, he thought he could get away, he couldn't do it. And she was driving up from Tennessee, from down around …?... that area there. And she got there out the front door she just sat in the car. Bro. Branham saw it, and said, "I'll just do like Gideon." And she dying of cancer in the last stage. And Bro. Branham had to come back, he went out front, and came and rolled down the window. He said, "How do you do?" And she began talking. And he said, "Yes, you're dying of cancer, last stage, (he said) that's why God kept me evidently." And he prayed for her, and he said, "Now, Sis. Murray don't ever, ever let that thought come to your mind one more time, destroy that thought." She destroyed the thought of cancer, she's a living perfect picture of health. Now, brother/sister that what we're trying to get across tonight. It's the Word of God is Omnipotent. Why? Because God is Omnipotent. (See?) That's right. And He said here, "When I send that Word, and that Word has to do what I said, then you know the Word Itself does not do what…it's the person himself. Therefore, Christ that Word amongst us receiving Itself and that Word blazing out, you say, "That's God." Now, how in the world can this Message of the end time, which is life and redemption, miss? Can't miss. It cannot do it. 66. Now, we are His body. At the end time that Bride will be so one with God, that she will be the very Word. She'll be one with that Word, she'll be the Word. She will be so like Him, that Christ the Word must bring her to the wedding feast. Because she's got to marry in the family. Abraham married his sister, in the family. (See?) You got the same thing. Jacob had to marry within the family. Now, she has got to be Word to bring her to the marriage feast, because you cannot breed outside of the seed. First, must come to seed. Then how could Christ have a Bride that is not Word? That's why she is coming to Him, a Word Bride. She's seeing Him. Now listen, brother/sister, the prophet made the statement, (now listen to it) since Luther, the seed that fell into the earth has come to life and is manifested in justification, sanctification, baptism, and now 'Incarnate Word Believer'. Now, we saw the Incarnated Word, because he stood here in the Melchisedec Priesthood, proving who He was, and the Word coming right to pass. That It was Christ manifesting Himself. 67. Now, we receive what He said, the Message of the hour. Now then, what are we? Incarnate Word believer. The Word of God made human flesh again, starting with the prophet. (See?) The beginning of the creation of God. If He's the beginning, who's the ending? We are! And you know something, the Bride who's down is the first one to get their bodies. See, the whole thing bears out, we know where we stand. (See?) Brother/sister look, I'm telling you flat, again I say, if I may go to the lake of fire and be blotted out quickly by the grace of God, I'm standing with this Word there, [raps hard on pulpit] and I'm not ashamed, it's the truth. I'll go to hell preaching the truth, then go to heaven without It. Now, I know that's impossible, I make my stand right there. You can see that this lines up with every verses of Scripture, you can't miss it. Sure, simplicity goes over our heads. I know some of this sounds kind of hard tonight, but it isn't really hard, I'm just trying to let you know flat, that if you saw Jesus Christ in action and He came here to see what He wanted that He Himself would be fulfilled in the people in redemption, that’s all I’m telling you, I’m taking a long time to tell you. Now, you think I’ve got reality, I ain't smart. But I can tell a fish from a chicken. That's all I need to know. 68. Now listen, read It again, this Luther, the seed that fell into the ground has come to life and is manifested in justification, sanctification, baptism, and now incarnate Word believer. Luther, Wesley, Pentecost and now incarnate Word absolutely, certainly. (Right?) For the flesh of the Resurrection, the redeemed flesh must appear, and with it at the end time a living proof that is so far off from the natural to see a spiritual minded by the Living Word. In other words, she believes what God says no matter what. (See?) Just like Abraham. She in her flesh at the end time is in incarnate Word, for she must be so to make the Rapture, because flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. She's got to be changed right here while she's standing here. The Melchisedec Priesthood is to take her living, (we saw Melchisedec in human flesh showed right here He was standing) unveiled to Who He was because He's Melchisedec. And He couldn't be Melchisedec until He rose from the dead, because He was from the tribe of Judah, and only priests could come from the tribe of Judah. So, there's an entirely new atmosphere now brother/sister. See, He is no longer the Lamb that died, He is the Lamb Who rose and has taken His rightful place mediating His Own Blood, the executor of His Own will, and He stands here tonight at the end time in maturity. 69. Okay, let's read It, listen, [Hebrews] 5:10 (10) Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec. (11) Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing (you) are dull of hearing. (12) For the time (you) ought to be teachers, (you) have need that (some)one teach you again… (that's exactly what happened under Hebrews 6:6) which (is) the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong… (playing with kids, jumping up and down, sensation.) (13) For every one that useth milk is (unskilled) in the word…(he doesn't know what he's talking about, can't do anything with it) in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. (14) But strong meat (belongs) to them (who) are of full age, Who's the full age? When you get to the heaven, full age. The Bride at the end time is the full age, and she comes to William Branham's revelation of Melchisedec, because he said, "All the mysteries must be revealed, that are written in Word, but you don't understand them." And he said, "Melchisedec is one of them." And he showed you the sign, and showed you all about it. Showed you right here in Melchisedec. (See?) Who took his own blood behind the veil, so that we could come in. Now, He's showing the way to Eternal Life, to walk right in with Him. Now, we're not walking alone brother/sister. No siree. Right by Melchisedec Priesthood, the Living God proving He's taking us right in, past the veil into Eternal Life. No longer the Tree of Life standing there and we can't get to It, but walking right with God Himself, right to Presence of Almighty God. Yes sir! 70. Now, with this understanding, go back and read Melchisedec. Go back and see the mighty God unveiled, come and see these things, you'll see them right here. Here you'll, "Oh I know with all my heart Melchisedec." Maybe I do. Yes sir, High Priest, His Own Blood proved amongst us, manifesting His Own Word, which is the vindication with Jesus Christ, proven Who He was. Blasting across the skies for all to see. (See?) Now, (yeah) now what's the Bride got? She walked right in. (See?) Now, here's where we get it, brother/sister, this is the relaxation under your Seventh Seal. This is that thing. Yes sir, I believe this is the rapturing faith as far as I'm concerned, that's what I'm believing. You believe what you want, I'll believe what I want. Now, there is just one word of admonition like the lily, keep pushing up and pressing on. Stay with the Word, drop all else, no matter how pleasing or how increasing. Stir up the mind with the Word and exclude all else. The 'pearl of great price' is worth the discipline of guarding the mind continually. And don't get caught up in fantasy. 71. Remember, what I have preached through here in this church and other churches around the country, I have absolutely proved 'Thus saith the Lord' from the prophet who was vindicated by God. We're not dealing with a myth, tonight. We're not dealing out here. We'll just do this, we'll do that. How do this, how it… I'm not interested, unless He wants me to have part. What I'm interested… listen brother/sister, I want to be right with Melchisedec, be taken right into the Presence of God. I want to be one with that which is proven. Christ the Word manifesting Himself, and that Word in you, that He’s fulfilled, you will not return to Him void. But, It will fulfill. What's It going to fulfill? Take me right past the veil, of sending past human flesh into the immortality of Almighty God. Brother/sister, let's not deceive ourselves. It's been proven, it's proven that He's the faithful witness. Yes sir, that He's the 'Amen' finish it. That's He's the beginning of the creation of God. Remember, hearing him telling that Seventh Church Age is going to come up first as that beginning of the last part of the First Resurrection. Oh my, it's so beautiful…listen, you talk about life…listen, I'm going to tell you something, the cry of my heart is, "Oh Vayle, you got to be something out there, why haven't you got a life to live up to that revelation?" I may never get it. One thing I'll stand on, I believe what I said, is the truth. I believe it. You believe what you want. I'm not trying to convince, but, I believe it. 72. Now, this treasure hidden in a field is all that it's worthwhile. Nothing will compare with that Word where It alone has Life, and will produce Life. Bro. Branham said, "Nothing but this Message have life in It." Again, he said concerning spiritual food in due season, concerning that season that you planted and everything. He said, "The life is in the Seed." And he said, "It will come up." Why do you keep on saying, "I the Lord have planted and watered it day and night, lest any man pluck it out of My Father's hand?" [John 10:28] I'll tell you why, because He knew what He planted, God was going to take care of him. God will look after it. As he said in the 'Rapture' tape, "Thus it has been spoken, and thus it shall be." Yes, brother/sister, Omnipotent, God the Word has possessed the Bride, and she will come forth through Him into His glory like Him, perfect with Him forever. Certainly. The Seed of the Rapture, which is the Shout has been sown. He's started to come down. 73. Now listen, He's started to come, but what for? A Bride. (Right?) What Bride? The Bride Who revealed Himself to. Because remember, let's read It now, 1 John 3:3 (2) Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it (has never) yet (come into existence) what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; (we'll) see him as he is. In other words, we're going to see Him in His Melchisedec ministry. You're going to see Him exactly as He is living. You're going to see Him and you're going to know Him. You're going to know Him by His Voice, and you're going to say, "That's It." And that's how you get your change to be caught up, in both. But nobody else sees it that way, they all read this way. Here's how they put it, listen: "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it hasn't appeared what we shall be: but we know that we're going to get changed, and we're going to get caught up to see Him as He is when He Appears." Doesn't say… Doesn't say, “He takes you when He Appears, you've got to see Him as He is. And then you're going to get changed, get caught up.” 74. Now, listen, now listen, is it all coming together? Brother/sister, this is so simple that it is absolutely just ridiculous. Really, listen: "When the times of refreshing shall come from the Presence of the Lord." [Act 3:19b] The word 'presence' it that part of anything visible. God will be visible amongst us just before Jesus comes back in His flesh. He was made visible once, by the mighty works that He did. And who was He visible I ask? Melchisedec, the same yesterday, ... the risen priest mediating His Own Blood, coming back as the 'Amen'. . The …?... Hebrews 13:8. And then the king that prays to God, "I am He who died, and am alive." Oh, and taking us out, and here we are standing here and our own group comes up. Brother/sister, look, what more is there? What more is there? To really come to this job, or something? Oh, I just want to be joyful person. I'm not a goat. I want to be a door mat in the house of the Lord, that people can walk on. I tell you, I've never seen anybody walk around. I don't think anybody want to one of these Japanese masseuses, that walk on your back. Mind you, she's pretty young. Now, I wouldn't want that enough. But I would love anything that He wanted. I'm not lying, I'm not trying to be humble. I'm just telling you the one that I saw, that one I saw, I want Him, I do. Now, He might not want me, that's fine. He doesn't want me, that's alright, but I want Him. [messages continues inaudibly] Voice of Omnipotence (0576) Page PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 1
