Word Coming To Life

Bro. Lee Vayle – April 19, 1987

	Now as we commit ourselves unto You at this moment, for this little
address we have for the people, Lord, sort of preparatory for another
message, help us Lord God to honor this great day of Your Resurrection
thereby, in a way perhaps we have not understood and honored before, in
Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen. You may be seated. 

	Now this part of the service I might entitle The Quickening Power of
the End Time. The Quickening Power of the End Time. And this morning is
one to do – that is this morning’s message that I’m going to bring
you later – it has to do with the end time wherein the evening time
ripening sun and the evening time ripening rain are bringing forth into
full manifestation, or maturity, a harvest, and from this harvest into a
final disposition, of course at the White Throne of both the holy and
unholy people, who are typed as wheat and tares. 

	Now which mike is sort of giving me a bad time? Put this away? All
right, because it’s kind of hissing up here. Well it’s still doing
it. Is that my teeth or that the equipment? Never had that trouble
before.

	All right. Now we said here that the message I’m going to be dealing
with has to do with the end time, wherein the evening time ripening sun
and the evening time ripening rain are bringing forth into full
manifestation, or maturity, a harvest, and from this harvest into a
final disposition at the White Throne – now you heard what I’m
saying, so put it together – at the White Throne, both the holy and
unholy people, who are typed or called wheat and tares. And this
ripening rain and sun of the evening time is the quickening power, or
has within it the quickening power of the end time, as set forth in Eph
1:17-23, and 1 Corinthians 15, which we will read in a minute. 

	Now it says here,

(17)	That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may
give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of
him:

	And Bro. Branham categorically says that is this, the spirit of wisdom
comes into the Church to make known to the Church by the revelation of
the Holy Spirit, bringing the Church in and revealing what day we’re
living in. Just the same as Gabriel in Dan 8:16 came to Daniel; the Holy
Spirit comes to the Church in the last days to reveal these great deep
spiritual secrets. So this is a special visitation of the Holy Spirit
Himself, as it was in the days of Paul, to William Branham.

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

	Now this is known as the former rain or the teaching rain, watch the
results. Watch what it’s going to do. It’s going to quicken. 

(19)	And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who
believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 

(20)	Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and
set him at his own right hand in heavenly places, 

(21)	Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and
every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in (the
world) which is to come:

(22)	And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be head
over all things to the church, 

	Now that’s to the Bride. Now remember this is concerning His Presence
and this is the putting under all things. Right? 

	Let’s go to 1 Corinthians 15 and see something there that’s going
to be a little bit different, but actually is saying the very same
thing. All right, we’ll look at verse 20, I suppose, about where we
will start, somewhere in that area. All right.

(20)	But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits
of them that slept. 

	Now that’s actually Resurrection body, he’s up there on the
Father’s throne at this time, for since the Seals have been ripped
off, he climbed on the Father’s throne.

(21)	For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of
the dead. (Or from amongst the dead in our case.)

(22)	For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

(23)	But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward
they that are Christ’s at his (presence). 

	Now this was written after the first part of the first Resurrection,
the Old Testament saints are resurrected, they are somewhere. Praise the
Lord for that. Gives us great courage.

(24)	Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to
God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all
authority and power. 

	Now it tells you in this Presence these things are going on. Authority
and power are being put down. Now watch what he’s saying.

(25)	For he must reign, till he put all enemies under his feet. (Right?
And,)

(26)	The last enemy shall be destroyed is death.

	Now what you’re seeing here is the same thing doing two different
things, right? Huh? Now you’re looking at me kind of blank. And so I
want you to get this. Are you His enemies? Who’s His enemy this
morning? Let me see your hands. Nobody? This is not for you then. He’s
here but He’s not doing this to you. What’s He doing to you?
Ephesians, right? Are you still drawing blanks? 

	Oh this is Easter morning, come on, let’s rise with Christ. I don’t
need your shouting; I just want to see your faces. I’m looking at your
faces and I got enough light and I want to see it dawn on you. Surely by
now you understand what is going on. Maybe some preachers don’t know
what’s going on, maybe some congregations. But I pride myself in this
respect in all humility before God, He hath shown me what’s going on,
and I’ve shown you, and you know what’s going on. So there’s
something going on. Quickening power. Quickening power’s going on and
things are happening. And we are not unaware, the apostle Paul says. All
right? 

	Okay. John the Baptist spoke of this, what we are seeing today, in
Matthew 3. And we’re in for a nice long session today, so tell the
Holiday Inn to wait our dinners for us. All right, I might not get to
sermon number two; if I don’t, it’s all right. All right.

(6)	And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins. (That’s
a lot of folk were. And verse 7,)

(7)	(And) when (John) saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to
his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, (who’s) warned
you to flee from the wrath to come? 

	Hey you bunch of dirty birds, who told you to come out of Babylon?
Who’s going to get hit with the four-by-four? Babylon. Who told you
dirty birds to come out of Babylon? Well you got out here, so you
better…

(8)	Bring forth fruits meet for repentance: 

	What’s fruit? Word. Word. What did I say? [Congregation says,
“Word.”] Did I say right? Well I believe you said right if I
didn’t. Because Bro. Branham said that was what? Matthew 7, right.
What’s repentance? Change of mind? Or is repentance the feeling you
get? I always like to blast that. I won’t do it this morning, I’m
going to be nice and sweet this morning. Honey, bring me the molasses
for my cherry pie.

(9)	And think not to say within yourselves, (I am Baptist, Presbyterian.
Oh, no, no, no,) We have Abraham to our father: (Why Luther, I believe
in him, Wesley, I believe in him, and I’m want to tell you something,
I’ve got a lot of, you know, ancestors.) for I say unto you, that God
is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

(10)	And now also the axe is laid (to) the root of (your) trees: 

	Your denominational dogmas and creeds. Well come on, isn’t that what
he said? Bring forth fruit? And they’re in a tree to bring forth
fruit? And this is the first fruit at the end time, right? The highest
they’ve come to? So I’m going to chop you down, boy. I’m going to
chop your organization down. …?... getting chopped down, get out of my
way. But you see you’re going to get chopped down anyway. 

	Let’s keep reading.

(10)	…axe is laid (to) the root of the trees: (leaving neither root
nor branch.) therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is
hewn down, and cast into the fire. 

	Every tenet, every doctrine, laying aside ever precept that has a
contamination, except the last Message has no contamination nor ever
will, Hebrews 6, keep with me. All right.

(10)	…(thrown in) the fire.

(11)	I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh
after me is mightier than I (am), whose shoes I am not worthy to bear:
he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and fire: (Correctly he did
so, but watch.)

(12)	Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor,
(he’ll) gather his wheat into the garner; (it) will burn up the chaff
with unquenchable fire.

	Two things going on at one time. The preparation of the Bride and the
preparation of the non-bride. The preparation of the true fruit, the
preparation of the bad fruit. The true fruit has the true Word and the
bad fruit has the bad word. It’s just that simple, right? Who says
this Message is hard? And I’m a Philadelphia lawyer and have to teach
preachers instead of little nice folk like you people. Somebody blew it.
…?... getting answers from you, and I don’t think anybody’s here a
theologian. I’m not, for sure. I’ve been called one, but I’ve been
called even worse than that. [Bro. Vayle laughs.] 

	All right, Jesus fulfilled Mt 3:11 at the Alpha announcement of Elijah
#3! “He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost in fire.” 

	And the man who said that says, “I’m not worthy even talk about
Him, let alone be near Him,” but he said, “I’m going to tell you
what He’s all about.”

	All right then, Mt 3:11 was the Alpha announcement by Elijah #3 and
Jesus must now fulfill Mt 3:12 as the Omega announcement of the Elijah
#4. Because the fire comes in Malachi 4. Not in Malachi 3. This can be
seen in Is 61:1-2, with which we’re very familiar, we’ve read them
many times.

(1)	The spirit of the Lord is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me
to preach (the) good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up
the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, the opening of
the prison to them that are bound;

(2)	To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, (Alpha. Omega.) and the
day of the vengeance of our God; (yet) to comfort (those) that mourn;

	And you will notice the emphasis is put upon the negative, because
that’s what’s going to get it, as to maximum of extension or
magnitude, the Bride in turn will receive the maximum in a little
parcel, because she’s a small group. And the big thing is you’ll
notice here, you are to get your eyes on the vengeance. That’s the big
thing. Every place in Scripture now you’re going to hear vengeance and
fire, vengeance and fire, vengeance and fire. But remember there never
was a Mount Ebal, which is evil, without Mount Gerizim, which is
blessing. You can never read anything that is negative without knowing
there is a positive. That is in nature; that’s the way God made it.
“Whose fan is in His hand, thoroughly purge His floor, gather the
wheat into the garner, burn up the chaff.” 

	All right? That is then the Omega. And this of course lines perfectly
with Acts 3, beginning at verse 19, in the middle of it, where Peter is
saying,

(19)	…when times of refreshing (when a great healing revival is going
to come from God.)

	And remember the prophet said there is no such thing as a genuine
healing revival unless there’s an entirely new Message. So any
Pentecostal sitting here, I don’t want to hurt you, but you done
killed yourself without me saying it, if you don’t get rid of all of
your Pentecostalism, saying, “I came out of Pentecost,” but you’ve
got Pentecost in you, you’re still doomed. “Who warned you to flee
from the wrath to come?” 

	I’m not a nasty preacher, I’m a hard hitter, but I’m going to
tell you something. This applies to me. I’m not trying to apply it to
you, say, “Well I’m going to stand here and just tell you
something.” The hardest thing I had in my life was to get Pentecost
out of me. That’s the hardest thing you’ve got is get the Baptist
out of you, the Methodist out of you, the Amish out of you, the
Mennonite out of you. The Presbyterian. You ain’t got too much to get
out of you kid, but get it out of you anyway. “See, you shouldn’t
say that!” I am an old Presbyterian. My mother was the same religion
that Joe Rascovy’s was. Reform church. That’s right. Dyed in the
wool Presbyterian. I mean died, d-i-e-d. Not so much d-y-e-d. Dead in
the wool Presbyterian. 

…when times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
(Okay, now that’s not Parousia. That’s all right though.)

And he shall send Jesus Christ, which was (appointed or proclaimed in
advance) unto you:

Whom the heaven(s) must (still keep back) until the (restoration) of all
things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets
since the world began (has taken place).

	Now what does that mean? Now… listen, you get the tapes, I don’t
know, it’s okay by me. But if you’re following my ministry in my own
church, you would hear me bring this up many times. What is a prophet
all about? Not miracles, not prophesying, no! The Word! And God puts His
Word in those people’s mouths! Then all right, at the end time
somebody’s got to rise up with the Word of God in his mouth! Not just
a word but the entire Word of that season! For this time after that
revival! 

	Now come on, I’m not lying to you. I’ve got my chronology right,
brother/sister. You know something? I’m preaching today relaxed,
knowing the White Throne is here now, and I’m going to prove it to you
before the day’s over. Takes old Jack Bell to get what I want. All I
got to do is just say something; he comes right behind me, and nails it
down with quote after quote. Nice going, Jack, love you, I’ll just
keep you right around me kid. He gets me out of trouble, because I shoot
my mouth off. I’ll say, “Here’s what the prophet said, and this is
it.” And I think, “Oh boy, did he really mean it?” You know;
right, did he really mean in the sense that this is not an isolated
quote, that this is something that fits in with all of it? Old Jack
picks it right up and he tells me, “Hey did …?..., he said this.”
So thank you, Bro. Bell, stick around. 

	Okay.

For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God
raise up… like unto me; him (you) shall hear in all things (whatever
he said).

…it (will) come to pass, that every soul, (that) will not hear that
prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

	Now that word is ‘utterly destroyed’, which comes only under
Malachi 4, does not come under the 3rd chapter. And remember, after
Jesus even died, was crucified by those people, there was a remnant, and
under the Fifth Seal they still come up. So they’re not utterly
destroyed, because those under the Fifth Seal die without believing in
Jesus the Savior. 

	So that can only refer to one time and that’s this time. When the
Lord Jesus Christ appears on the scene, in the form of the Holy Ghost,
in a Pillar of Fire, face to face with a prophet like Moses and like
Paul. Three in history. That’s when it comes. And at that time
they’re destroyed. 

	Now notice at that time. If they’re going to be destroyed utterly,
those that don’t hear, then there’s those that do hear and won’t
be destroyed. Ebal and Gerizim. Gerizim and Ebal. Listen, you can never
hear a curse in God’s Word and not know there’s a blessing. And you
can never hear a blessing and not know there’s a curse. That’s the
law of the parallelism of Scripture, given to me by the Lord. Yes it’s
true, the parallelism of Scripture, you cannot get away from it.

	All right, the end time quickening power of the Resurrection and
Rapture has to separate the wheat and the tares. That’s in Mal 4:1-6.
And He says categorically, “I’m going to come and destroy.” But He
said, “In My coming I am rising upon these people as the great
Avenger. And upon you I am arising with healing for immortality.” So
God is here to bust the system wide open. To take out the true and
destroy the false. And He says, “I’m going to do it by Elijah.”
Because He said, “If Elijah didn’t come, I’d just destroy
everything. But I’m coming and I won’t destroy everything. I’ll
gather My wheat into the garner.” 

	Now listen, I’m an old Alberta boy, and I’ve got good Saskatchewan
friends here. Bro. Gunther’s here, and Bro. Klassen’s here, and
we’ve got Pete, he’s a Klassen there. And I’ve got enough people
from Canada to know what I’m talking about. Now years ago when we had
the old… maybe Pete doesn’t know about this, he’s pretty young.
But anyway, here’s the point. When I was a kid, we used to have these
old threshing machines, and they didn’t have this short stalk wheat,
they had this long stalk wheat. Why when I was a kid, I’d get about
lost in it. And so at the end of the season, they would build a little
granary. And there would be maybe about what? Twelve feet by eight feet
by about eight feet? And you should see the stack of straw alongside
that tiny cubicle. Little tiny granary, like that little room. I’m not
saying this is what it is in the tent vision, but like the little teensy
room in that huge tent that was blocks and blocks, a little teensy
weensy place. Could be striking something, how do I know? I just spit it
out when I think of it. But when I was a kid, that little teensy weensy
granary, and there’s just a huge amount of straw! 

	That’s exactly what you’re seeing today, brother/sister, because if
you see in the literal Rapture, now the literal Rapture, I mean people
made immortal standing here, not the dead coming out of the ground, but
if we were to see seven hundred out of one billion Christians, and never
mind the rest, we’re doing good. 

	Now that’s what’s happening at the end time quickening power. The
end time quickening power is Lk 17:26, the separation into the Rapture
itself, and in Matthew 24 it’s the separation of the people
themselves. What is doing this? The quickening power of God striking His
Word.

	Now with this in mind, harvest now, what is our mind upon? Harvest now.
Harvest now. You see, you’re still looking down the road. I’ve got
news for you; you that believe the Message have already been gathered.
And you that are going to believe are going to be gathered, so the
harvest is on. The harvest sun and the harvest rain. 

	So with this in mind, harvest now, we come to the parable of Mt
13:24-30, 36-43, where – and I won’t read it to you, you can read it
to yourself – where it tells the sower went forth to sow and a man
came behind sowing the tares. And they said, “Shall we rip them up?”


	He said, “No, let them grow together. And when they’ve gone through
due process of the rain and the sun, they’ve gone through the due
process up to maturation, I will separate them, and I will take
everything out and burn it that offends me.” 

	And I’ve been offended a long time with cigarettes and drunkenness
and brawling and all the filth and all the junk and all the mess. And
I’d only be offended because of the Spirit of God; otherwise I’d be
rolling like a hog with the rest of them. And so would you, and don’t
tell me that the sinners don’t have pleasure. That old Pentecostal
hogwash, I’ve hit it many a time. They’d say, “I was taught when I
was a kid, well the sinner’s not having any fun.” Ha, ha, ha. He’s
not having any fun? You’ve got to be… Don’t be sick and my God
distressed in your mind until you’re an idiot. He loves it. He’s a
pig in the puddle, he’s having a ball. Right, Roger? Sure it’s the
truth. Anybody that says he didn’t have fun in unrighteousness, he
only means one thing, he was having a whale of a good time and God
pricked his consciousness and he didn’t like it. You had a ball baby,
let’s face it. I never saw a sheep that couldn’t interest himself in
everything that was sheepish but dirty. In other words he could act just
like a hog, except he didn’t go all the way in the puddle. I could
prove that by illustrations I’ve seen on farms and everything else.
He’s going to take out the offending things.

	Now then listen to me. Here’s what I’m going to show you, to help
you. Gen 3:17-18. This is what we got in mind. 17-18.

(17)	And (said) unto Adam… Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice
of thy wife, and eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying,
Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow
shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

(18)	Thorns also and thistles shall it (sprout)…

	Now you say, “The King James version says bring forth.” I don’t
care if it does. It says sprout. I got a reason for saying that. I’m
going to say what the prophet said. The seeds were already there. So
when the earth brought forth, what did it do? It sprouted them. Funny
they couldn’t sprout before that though, could they? Sprouted. 

…thou shalt eat (of) the herb of the field;

In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat (thy) bread, till thou return
(to) the ground; out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and dust
(thou) shalt return.

(18)	Thorns also and thistles shall it (sprout)… 

	Shall it bring forth into full maturity. Yes sir, that’s what it’s
going to do. Let’s see how it’s done. Gen 2:5-6. 

(5)	And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every
herb of the field before it grew: 

	Hah-hah. One was put in the earth and one was already there to grow.
Ah-hah. Preach it Bro. Vayle; people catch on if they listen to the
prophet long enough.

(5)	…for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and
there was not a man to till the ground.

(6)	But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face
of (it). 

	So we see the sun and the rain was predestinated to bring forth the
seed that was already there. So all right, we have a seed that is
already here, and it’s got to come forth to maturity. Let’s read in
Zechariah and see some more things about the rain. Zechariah 10. I love
the Scripture what Bro. Branham gave us. It is just delicious. Just
delicious. 

(1)	Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD
shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one
grass in the field.

	Why do you want rain? To bring forth the harvest. Right? 

	All right, Hosea. That’s a nice little book way back here. I think
that follows Daniel. Never could get these little tiny books straight in
my mind. Hos 6:1-3.

(1)	Come, let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will
heal us; he hath smitten, he will bind us up. (All right, the curse is
hit, the negative hit us, now they say, “Bring on the positive.”)

(2)	After two days (he’ll) revive us: in the third day (he’ll) raise
us up, and we shall live in his sight.

(3)	Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going
forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the
rain… 

	His appearing unto us in the process of the binding of the tares and
the binding of the wheat. In the process of adminstering the curse and
ministering the blessing His Presence is going to be called “rain”,
latter and former rain. And the former rain is the teaching rain and the
latter rain is the power rain. And Bro. Branham had to go to the Hebrew
for that. Wasn’t it strange God didn’t say, “Prophet I’m going
to tell you something. That word, that means teaching rain.” God let
the prophet go to the Hebrew. Hmm, he must have been pretty human after
all, hey? 

	I just want to get your thinking unkooked. If you’re one of those
kooked up thinkers, brother/sister, let’s get unkooked this morning.
We don’t have time for junk. Don’t have for this hogwash. A man
years ago said, “I know Bro. Branham was not the prophet of God.” 

	I said, “How do you know?” 

	He said, “Because he told us to keep our eyes closed while he
prayed.” And cast out devils. 

	I said, “Where’d you get that from?” 

	Kid came to me, I don’t know if he was wet behind the ears, or if he
was still, you know, like a pollywog in the pool. I got through
preaching down in Florida, Miami.. …?... shook hands and he said, “I
don’t believe in notes.” 

	I said, “You don’t?” 

	He said, “No. Preachers shouldn’t use notes.” 

	I said, “Here’s my Bible, prove it.” 

	Well he said, “I sure don’t believe in concordances.” 

	So I said, “Here’s another one, prove it. You know what the trouble
with you is son? You don’t believe what I’m saying, do you?” 

	He said, “No.” 

	I said, “I paid for this soapbox, get your own soapbox.” 

	You say, “Bro. Vayle, you should have talked and been nice.” Why
don’t you talk and be nice? I did exactly right. At least I think I
did. Why would I want a man apology like that? 

	Rain. Joel 2:18-32.

Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, 

	Now watch this. 

(18)	…the LORD (will) be jealous for his land, and pity his people. 

	Said, “Now, now, now, now, that’s wrong emphasis. The Lord shall be
jealous for His people and then pity His land.” He didn’t say that. 

	Now I’d say it. You bet. I’d have good reason to say it too.
Because when I’m redeemed and you’re redeemed, the whole world gets
redeemed. But at this point, I believe this is the point where the Lord
says, “If I don’t send Elijah, I’ve had it with everybody! Land
I’m sorry for you. Oh boy, what they’ve done to you.”

	Say, “I don’t think God would talk as though the earth were
animated.” 

	I think He does! Because He’s jealous for His land. Of course you
could say, “Well Bro. Vayle, that really means His people, because
we’re God’s husbandry.” 

	That’s right, I admit that, but I’m not going to say that. I’m
going to let you say that. I’ll say it with you to a degree. I won’t
be that nasty. Lord…

(19)	Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will
send you corn, and wine, and oil, (now that’s good, because that’s
going to get out of the land.) and (you’ll) be satisfied therewith:
and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:

(20)	But I will remove far from you the northern army, and will drive
him into a land barren and desolate, (and) his face toward the east sea,
and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up,
and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.

(21)	Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great
things. (O land.)

(22)	Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: 

	Huh? This is the day when the Lord’s going to destroy those that
destroy the earth. Remember the stories of early America where they said
the passenger pigeons filled the skies? My mother tells when she first
went to Alberta, back in the turn of the twentieth century, there’s a
little old lake there somewhere in Southern Alberta, and she said the
ducks and geese came in, they literally blackened the skies, and you
could literally sneak up and about hit them with a club. Foxes roamed
the prairies. When I was a kid, the bluebirds were by the hundreds. The
meadowlarks sang day and night. The robins came in. Where are they
today? 

	People look around and say, “Well, you know, we’re the important
things.” Take a gander at this Scripture here, brother/sister. Take a
good look this morning. I want you to know something. I’ve been
preaching the Zoe of God. Some of you folk didn’t come out Saturday
afternoon, you missed it. I knew I had to give it a double shot. And
I’m not through yet. I’m preaching the Zoe of God from this
Scripture here, life. As it was in God, in man, in animals, and in
plants. Or what does it say? Now that oil is not oil out of the ground,
that’s olive oil. 

(22)	Be not afraid, beasts of the field: the pastures of the wilderness
(they) do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit… 

	Oh praise God; the very top branch is under William Branham. God put
forth another branch. Uh-huh. Put a branch forth in Luther, right.
Didn’t work. Put a branch forth in Wesley, didn’t root. Put a branch
forth in Pentecost, didn’t work. But he put a branch forth in William
Branham, it did work. If it didn’t work you wouldn’t be here,
you’d be back there with the Nazarenes, making love to a corpse.

(22)	…the fig tree and the vine yield their strength.

(23)	Be glad then, ye children of Zion, (going to bring us back to a
renewed world,) and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you
the former rain moderately, (you had a touch of the teaching rain one
day. One day, church, you had a touch of it,) and he will cause to come
down for you the rain, former rain, latter rain (as he did) in the
first. 

	Not first month, but He did in the first. Back to the Ephesian church,
brother/sister! Who needs a second sermon anyway? I’ll just keep going
on. I like this, don’t you?

(24)	And the floors shall be full of wheat, (God’s floors! This is
judgment! This is quickening power! This is what’s happening? See?
This is a result.) and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.
(Don’t you destroy the wine and the oil. Seventh Seal.)

(25)	And I will restore (unto) you the years that the locust hath eaten,
cankerworm… palmerworm, (caterpillar, what is it? All the same bug in
different stages, four stages.) my great army (that) I sent among you.

(26)	And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name
of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people
shall never be ashamed.

(27)	And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, that I am…
your God, and none else: 

	This is now in the Presence, the time of the former and latter rain, He
says He’s here and yet people deny it, and say, “He’s here, so
what?” Can’t tell the difference between the baptism and the
Baptizer! Huh? 

	I won’t have an example here. I could have said, “Now I want one of
you men to stand up with your son.” And I’d say, “Son, are you the
father? Father are you the son? What’s going on here?” Anybody that
can’t tell the son from the father, especially if the kids only two
years old, has got to be an insane person. 

	Well if you can’t tell the baptism from the Baptizer, what’s going
on with you? A lot of preachers ?can?. Some theologians can, but they
can’t place it. I can prove that, I’ll take you to any Bible
bookstore, and go to Eph 1:17, and they’ll say, “Hey, this ain’t
the baptism.” They already got it in 13 and 14. But you talk to people
in Pentecost. 

	What did you come out of? I won’t ask you. But you got a job, because
you’re the ones that boasted in the baptism with the Holy Ghost, and
now the One that’s come in our midst and showed Himself, and had His
picture taken, and gave us Word for Word, and then can’t say
“amen” to that Word and say they got a part of Him? When Bro.
Branham said, “The Token of this hour is the Lord Jesus Christ
Himself”? 

	Then people say, “Well I got the Token.” You ain’t got that
Token. You’d be God incarnate. William Branham was the one that had
Him in him. You and I, because we got a little bit of His life, say,
“Amen, that’s the prophet, Malachi 4. That is Elijah done come.
Those are the words of a man that man’s words can never do; that
man’s got God and God’s got that man.” And that man stand and say
with five thousand people, “Every spirit in this building under my
control,” and prove it. We’re talking about something pretty big
here.

(27)	And (you’ll) know that I am in the midst of Israel, (and) I am
the LORD your God, and none else: (to recognize God and God only.) and
my people shall never be ashamed.

	Yep. Do you know this is the day when shame goes by the board? Why?
Because you’re not naked anymore, you’re clothed with His Word. You
see? You shall know.

(28)	…it shall come to pass afterward, (it’ll come to pass not
afterward, but it will come to pass at the latter time. I’ll) pour my
spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters prophesy, your
old men dream dreams, your young men see visions: 

	“But at that day My prophet, who speaks face to face with Me, and
sees Me in a form, he won’t have visions and dreams like these people
have,” though he’s entitled to and once in a while does have them.
But he’ll come and give you the Word like Moses and Paul gave from a
face to face visitation while the rest have their dreams and their
visions and their prophecies and their gifts and all, but we stand with
the Word vindicated prophet! Praise, you better praise God. You say,
“Bro. Vayle I had a dream.” 

	One sweet old guy in California… you got lots of time? I hope you do.
I’m in no hurry. Old fellow… sweet in California, nice old guy, he
said, “Well you know Bro. Vayle, I love Bro. Branham, but you know,”
he said, “I had some visions myself.” 

	And I could have said, “Oh God, brother, let’s you and I pool our
resources and see what you had! Compare with what I had!” 

	Listen, I’ve waked up in the darkness of night and seen a vision just
like I’m looking you people in Technicolor and heard a voice say
exactly what would come to pass and it came to pass. I’ve had dreams
in Technicolor that came to pass. Time after time I prophesied! And
I’ve said things, it’s come to pass, and some of you congregation
know it, and it will continue to come to pass! I’ve got nothing! I
could simply qualify with those out there in the world, with their
vision, their dreams. I listened to a man that spoke face to face with
God! When I say exactly what he said, that constitutes me a prophet in
my own right, because Aaron was a prophet and he was God to Pharaoh, the
same as Moses was prophet and God to Aaron. Trickle down economy but the
economy is of God. Nothing’s going to stop it. 

	He said, “Upon my servants. My men and my women.” 

	They’re not going to have a bunch of dreams and visions and things to
come and say, “Well I got this and I got that, hallelujah.” 

	Because when Bro. Branham preached The Anointed Ones At The End Time,
he said, “Ain’t nobody got nothing but me.” 

	“Oh, but Bro. Branham, I’ve got something.” 

	Then prove it by listening! And say amen to every Word till it takes
the skin off us. And if he says something to you personally, have the
guts to back it, stand and say, “I stand with the prophet.” A lot of
people wanted me to back down what the prophet told me personally. I
ain’t backing down anymore. I haven’t paid much of a price, but I
guess I’ll pay more for it. But I’m not backing down. 

	Said, “See, Lee, you and I are just alike. That’s [There’s] just
one little thing.” 

	“What do you mean Bro. Branham?” 

	He said, “I got a little gift of healing nobody wants it. You got a
little gift of teaching and nobody wants it.” 

	I could explain that, I just leave it to you; you do what you want with
it. You say, “Well I don’t think the prophet meant it.” Then he
didn’t mean anything else either, because I didn’t ask him to say a
thing. We were just sitting there yarning, so to speak. I’m not going
to back away from it. I don’t like the vessel any more than you do. In
fact I don’t like it half as much as you do, because you’re not
around it. The only reason I got a fan club is my wife. And she’s part
of me, so that ruined her. 

	All right. He said, “After this,” he said, “there’ll be signs
and wonders, the great tribulation comes on.” 

	Now all right, now listen. It has taken both the latter rain and the
former rain to quicken the wheat and the tares. Do you follow? Say,
“Well Bro. Vayle, what do you mean?” I mean what Bro. Branham said.
We get the baptism with the Holy Ghost, the tares get the anointing. 

	Now the spirit is the last thing that the baby gets. So it comes from
its mother’s womb, invades the body, and becomes a channel for the
nature of the soul to be produced in the body. And so therefore it is
not body, soul and spirit, it is soul and body and spirit, with the
spirit sort of anointing on the outside somehow, and that’s where the
Spirit of God gets to anoint the human spirit, and the spirit of God
then is blocked and doesn’t get down into the soul. And so therefore
the tares are anointed, and they can be anointed even to the extent that
they can get this Message of Bro. Branham’s technically correct, but
they will never get the real Revelation of down inside. And you can talk
this and you can talk that, and you like a hundred percent you’re one
of them, but you ain’t! Because Paul said, “Though I have all
knowledge and know all mysteries,” he said, “I’m not one of them
until I’m full of the Holy Ghost.” And Bro. Branham equated love to
the Holy Ghost, so I’m going to do the same thing.

	All right, see it takes both the latter and the former rain to quicken
the wheat and the tares. So we see how and why Bro. Branham preached The
Anointed Ones At The End Time, from which I’m going to take my text
when I do start preaching. And it is from this Message I get my sermon
this morning when I speak on the Word of the hour coming to life. Or
fulfillment or manifestation or actually the quickening or responding to
the harvest. 

	So let’s respond to the harvest in the Book of Revelation 19, and
I’m going to sit down, before I do I’m going to call on the
Brooks’, a couple of my favorite gospel... they’re not my favorite
gospel singers, they’re a couple of my favorite children. Brooksy used
to get under my skin for awhile, but when he came all the way with the
Message, he’s got so a part of me that if he tried to get away now
I’d, you know, hit him with a four-by-four and just hold him down. And
he didn’t know that till this morning, but he knows it now. So you get
ready to be part of us Brooksy. And of course, lovely wife there,
she’s a good kid. How she stuck with him, I don’t know, but… feel
so sorry for these women. Something like feeling sorry for the Lord,
what kind of a Bride did He get? Oh He loves …?... that covers a
multitude of sins, Bible says, right? 

	Okay, let me read out of the 19th chapter before they sing first. 7-9.
Now this is for us.

(7)	Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage
of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

(8)	And to her was granted that she should be arrayed…

	Oh my, beautifully. I like to see the women come out Easter morning
honouring His resurrection with new dresses and even nice jewelery. Bro.
Branham said they’re fine, as long as you don’t look like you had a
magnet on when you walk through a ten cent store. And he said, “You
men ought to dress nice. If you dress nice for anybody, dress nice for
the Lord.” Did I say something about a red carnation, somebody give me
this? I don’t remember saying about a red… thanks anyway. I’ll say
it next week too if it’s going to get me a red carnation. 

	And she was… oh she was beautiful. And the Bible said she was pretty
within and without. [End of side one.] Man, make a man just go through
the ceiling. What do you think when Isaac saw Rebekah? Man those jewels.
She was so pretty, alabaster skin like you know. The incense, the
perfume, mmmm, didn’t smell like a camel at all. Oh he said, “Oh
my,” he said, “I used to think a lot about women but wow! I never
knew there was one like this.” Now you don’t think that’s true, I
got news for you, that is true. That’s true. She was beautiful. 

…(and) the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

And he (said), Write, Blessed are they (that) are called (to) the
marriage supper of the Lamb. And he (said), These are the true sayings
of God. 

	This is a Marriage Supper in 19th chapter. Now let’s look at 17-19.

And I saw an angel standing in the sun; 

	And he said, “Hey there’s a big supper going to go on. Yep,
there’s a supper here that’s going to rival, or going to not rival
but it’s going to be in contradistinction to the Wedding Supper!”  

(17)	…(So he said,) to the fowls that fly in the midst of (the)
heaven(s), (that’s the air up here, the middle heavens,) Come and
gather yourselves unto the (great) supper of the great God; 

	And you can eat the carrion. You can eat what’s left of this cosmos
and this perverted zoe. So you can have it. This is yours. 

	Now I hope you understand a little bit now about quickening power. You
understand? You understand what’s going on? All right, that’s
lovely. Where are the Brooks’? Ah, come on. So you can sing, and then
I’ll get back and preach a little sermon. I’ll just read my notes
and you can go home. [End of message.]
