Anointed Ones at the End Time #21

His Purpose:

Getting Us to the Tree of Life

May 31, 1987

	Shall we pray. Heavenly Father, again we want to ask You to help us in
this hour, O Lord, of our studies, that we might say those things, Lord,
or teach those things that are absolutely true and correct according to
that which has been revealed and vindicated, Lord, in this last hour.
For surely, Lord, we do not want to add to the gross darkness which is
upon the face of the earth or to cast a snare and a stumbling block to
anyone, Lord, but rather to do all people good. And may those, Lord, who
hear the message this morning, whatsoever form they hear it, on tape or
whatever, Lord, audibly now, may it do them good, O God, and prepare for
that great day, which we know this is an hour of preparation. In the
name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen. 

	You may be seated.

1.	Now, we are continuing this morning, and I trust... I think this is
the last message, number 21, on the “Anointed Ones at the End Time.”
And of course, Bro. Branham was speaking from Matthew 24, and he had
this to say about the fact of the time of the Presence and Elijah: 

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

	Now, I know that we could be prone to be very comfortable at this point
and say, “Well, we’ve got it made…” But if you notice the
language, “That, if it were possible, the very elect would be
deceived.” So, that puts you in a place where you must exercise
discernment if you’ve ever exercised it before. And so you should,
because your senses by now should be exercised unto righteousness so
that you’d know what this is all about. You don’t have to...like as
I told you, a woman out there in Tucson saying, “You should hear Mr.
Swaggart because he’s the closest to Bro. Branham.” 

	How close is ‘close’? to the Lake of Fire? 

2.	Well, let’s look at this thing. We’re not here to bother anybody,
to fight anybody, to throw ungodly punches, but the fact of the matter
is—if there’s a fact in the matter, and there was a prophet
vindicated. Where does it leave these people? I want to ask you. 

	Now, I’m supposed to be a very crude, hardnosed, vulgar individual
because a spade is a spade. Now the Bible says “utterly destroy
them,” all that don’t listen. 

	Now, how does anybody hear God? Through a prophet. Well, what am I
supposed to do about it? How nice is nice? Look, if you want flattery
and I want flattery, this message is not the place to get it. I’m
sorry. It’s not the place to get it. 

	All but the ‘very elect’, not just elect now, but very elect, which
lets you know that the end-time elect are not in any extra special
position. As It says in 1 Thessalonians: “We do not take any
preeminence over anybody,” because we’re the ones standing here that
are supposed to go on living and never die. You don’t take any
preeminence. You’re no hot shot; you’re no big dice, no big wheels,
no big nothing. You’re just ordinary, and this warns you. Can you see
an elect preacher endorsing polygamy? Can you see an elect preacher over
God’s heritage wanting gifts established on the floor? and wanting
false anointed ones to pray for the sick? Can you see a faithful
shepherd opening his pulpit to just anything because he wants to be
nice?

 	We had that in Memphis; blew the whole works [words spoken in opening
prayer by person called to pray by minister overseeing opening portion
of service]. Never so mad in my life; one thing just went one place to
another place. Why? Brother/sister, this is not a time to be nice. This
is a time to be righteous. Niceness doesn’t have a thing to do with
it; the fruit of the spirit will be there, but I want you to find one
word in the Bible that says niceness. I believe we all ought to be nice
in the sense that we’re not necessarily, you know, causing ripples. 

3.	Dr. Price one time preached a sermon, and he preached it on the fact
he went to a great gallery, an art gallery, and he saw two pictures,
both entitled “Peace”. And one was a beautiful pond, like a mill
pond, reflecting beautifully, serenity—everything so calm and so nice.
The next picture down the way somewhere in the building, perhaps beside
it (it could have been right beside it) was a little mother bird sitting
on a nest right by a roaring cataract with the water tumbling. Oh, what
a frenzy of activity. And she sat on those eggs with real peace and
serenity in her eyes; and both were titled “Peace.” And a man
standing there said, “This one is not peace. This is
stagnation,”—speaking of the pond. He said, “This is peace.”
[speaking of the cataract setting].

“When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,

When sorrows like sea billows roll;

Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,

It is well, it is well, with my soul.”

	So, beloved, we are not given to stagnation, and we are not given to
pleasantries, and we are not given to glossing things over, though with
an adversary who will not believe, you had better back-pedal and get out
of there in a hurry. You have no truck and trade with the infidels. To
tell any man twice is sufficient or you denigrate the Gospel of God and
rob It of its strength. One does not have to be foolish and think he is
wise. The very elected: “Behold, I have told you before.”

4. 	So therefore, if at the time of the Presence and Elijah anybody
says, “Now, listen: it would be… What’s the matter with you
people? Can’t you bend a little and just come over here and see
this?”

	“No!” 

	He said, “Well, then, you’re not courteous.”

	Fap! You don’t know what courteous is.

	“You’re stupid. You think you’re smarter than Eve?”

	Shibby-shally, dilly-dally with the devil. You’ve got to be sick.

	He’s in the desert, the secret chamber… Come and hear what our fine
brethren have come together and decided. That’s why I’m not for
preachers’ meetings, period—unless they’re exactly as Brother
Branham said; he said the last thing you do is talk doctrine, if you got
time. You talk mutual problems; how to solve them by the Word; sustain
each other if you’re low; give each other more a buildup. That’s
what he said to preachers; then, if you’ve got time, if…Well, you
see what I’m talking about. All right.

5.	Last Wednesday we noted that in this message we were seeing the
‘omega of the alpha’ doctrine of the two vines, or the twins,
righteousness and unrighteousness, true prophet and false prophets,
etc., that lined up, because this is the end-time Message.

 	Now, of course, you know the two vines. You understand the twins. But
do you remember righteousness and unrighteousness at the time of Cain
and Abel? In other words, you are looking at the refusal of the true
revelation and the continued worship of God in a false revelation which
the theologians call “worship in self-will.” Nice title, very good,
but they didn’t get it right. It’s “Unrighteousness.” Oh, the
devil is careful with the theologians so they don’t get their good
words in there. Oh, worship in self-will, hmm.

	Unrighteousness—you’re dead! You’re in danger of blaspheming the
Holy Ghost—not just in danger but quite likely walk out of this life
into eternal destruction. We don’t deal with pretty words here.
Righteousness is to worship God according to revelation. And the worship
of God, apart from revelation, though it be ever so wonderful, is
unrighteousness with God. Unrighteousness is not you committing adultery
on your wife, although many will call it that. That is the product of
your unrighteousness. As Bro. Branham said, “Smoking is not sin. It is
the… It is actually the product of unbelief.” The sin is unbelief.
All right.

6.	We noted, then, on Wednesday, the ‘omega’ of the ‘alpha’
which we have seen in this doctrine of the end time. We saw the harvest
of the Tree of Life and the Tree of Death or Knowledge of Good and Evil.
Cain was a good example of good and evil because he took that which was
good and perverted it, making it no longer good. We saw the harvest of
the Tree of Life and the Tree of Death being reaped in this end time in
this race of mankind. You heard what I said. Listen again: in Bro.
Branham’s sermon, “Anointed Ones of the End Time,” we were made
aware of, and therefore, spiritually saw, the harvest of the Tree of
Life—in other words, the truth of it—and the Tree of Death, the
Knowledge of Good and Evil, being reaped in this end time in all
mankind. Now, listen; we’ll go into this thoroughly later on. The Tree
of Life was there for one thing—what was it? Immortality. Immortality.
What it was there for—its purpose, the purpose of God. Whatever that
is, we’ll look at.

	We saw the faithfulness of God made clearly visible by the
faithlessness of man, the faithlessness of man: in other words, man
constantly turning down God for Seven Church Ages in all ages, in that
God, by grace, is allowing man access to the Tree of Life and
immortality, the opening of the Seven Seals in spite of the whole world
going after the beast. All right.

 7.	In a time of utter pollution, utter folly, we see grace and the
message of grace coming to us. We paid special attention to one of the
highlights of the message when we looked in Lk 21:25-28, which has to do
with the picture on the wall to your right—the ring of angels. We want
to talk about it again because I’m a little afraid if I ask you a
question this morning, you might know the answer, but you’d go all
around it until you got to it. So, we’re going to hit it very hard
again. Luke 21:25-28: 

 (25 ) 	And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the
stars: and upon the earth (these do not follow necessarily
chronologically or in any particular sequence) distress of nations, with
perplexity…

	 Ha! You don’t believe that nations aren’t perplexed? Oh, we’ve
being doing our dead level best to get to the Russians. And they
couldn’t even see us, and we knew they were ahead of us. And a little
bird flies a plane in from West Germany. Nobody could spot it, so they
fire the two top guys in Russia. 

	Hallelujah. The Word of God never fails. This world deserves what
it’s going to get, brother/sister; and if you and I get it, just
praise God. I don’t think we’re going to get it, but if we should,
just praise God; we’ve got it coming. Stupid is what stupid does. They
think they can forget God and make some big show of it. Oh, come on!
What if they did bug our embassy? Who needs it? They’ll never catch
this stealth if they get it ready in time. Nobody’s smart anymore;
nobody’s smart. They just think they’re smart. 

(26)	 ...the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

(27) 	 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with
power and...glory.

(28)	And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift
up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

	Now, Bro. Branham categorically said in this message that ring of
angels which formed the wig and the beard of Jesus Christ centrally in
there is what this is talking about. 

8.	Now, what we want to look at is this: Lk 21:27-28.

(27) 	And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with
power and...glory.

(28)	And when these things begin to come to pass, then (you who are not
in this class up here but living amongst it) lift up your heads ( of
course, rejoice) for your redemption draweth nigh.

	Now, categorically, Lk 21:27 was the seven mighty messenger angels all
of whom were embodiments of the Holy Spirit, with Christ in the midst,
appearing out in Arizona near Wilcox. We have the picture of it.

9.	Now, notice carefully, verse 28.

(28)	...look up for your redemption draweth nigh.

	Therefore, this appearance, this appearing of the Son of man, visibly,
as was taken by camera and seen by multitudes, is a sign or a signal to
us that the Tree of Life or Mal 4:2, “the Sun of Righteousness arise
with healing in his wings” ...

	...and 1 Th 15:51: “I shew you a mystery. We shall not all
sleep.”(For we’re all going to be changed into immortality.)

	...and Rev 22:14: to approach the Tree of Life and become immortal.

	...and 1 Cor 15:20-23: which is the presence of the Lord and at that
time the resurrection of the dead.

	...and 1 Th 4:16 which is the descent or the appearing; the Shout,
which is the Message, and so on.

	...and in Jn 5:24-25: which is the Son of man involved in the
resurrection of the dead.

	...and Jn 11:25: which is: those in the graves will come out, and those
now living will never die.

	See. This is going on now and the literal Resurrection and our change
is, according to this verse at that sign, is near.

10.	Now, notice; let’s read a little further. It is so close as to
fulfill Lk 21:29-33.

(29)	…he spake…a parable: Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;

(30)	When they…shoot forth, you see and know of your own selves that
summer is…nigh at hand.

(31)	So likewise you, when you see all these things come to pass…

	But the major one is this one. That’s your sign, because that’s the
evidence of the days of the Son of man. See, that’s telling you what
this has been all about. And we know only after the fact. We do not know
before the fact. We can only surmise before the fact. It is after the
fact we know because God interprets His Word by manifesting It. Now, if
that’s true, that’s true. And you cannot sit around and say,
“Well, let me tell you what’s going to happen.” Now, that’s okay
with a little, tiny gift of prophecy...may get you somewhere. When it
comes to this Word, that’s a different thing entirely. Take notice.

(31)	…the kingdom of God is...at hand.

(32)	Verily I say unto you, (that) This generation shall not pass away,
till all be fulfilled.

	And It tells you, there are some in this generation; at what age, I
don’t know. I don’t know. But this generation cannot pass away until
every single thing be fulfilled, which is the Great Tribulation and the
establishment of the Kingdom of God upon earth in a millennium. 

11.	Now, notice what It says here. This is not a cloud of angels with
Christ that is the Rapture. Now, many people want to make that the
Rapture. They make 1 Th 4:16 the Rapture. It is not the Rapture. It’s
the conditions preceding the Rapture. 

	So, this is not the Rapture. But this signifies that the Rapture is
right in your generation because you cannot go in that Rapture unless
you are immortalized.

	Now, it is not the Second Coming. It is absolutely not Christ coming
back to this earth. Absolutely not! So, it is not the Second Coming. It
is not the Rapture. It is not the descent to the earth. It is none of
those things. What is it? It is a sign that the resurrection of the
righteous is in this hour, as well as our change to immortality. Now,
that’s what this is all about. And that’s what I want you to
understand. It is not the Rapture. It is not the Second Coming. It is
not your immortality. It is the sign of it, the evidence that this is
that hour.

12.	 Now, do you think the world’s going to pay any attention to that?
Hogwash! Look; based on what we know of Scripture, what man always does
with the things of God, let’s ask ourselves the question. The wise men
that came to seek out the Christ, and the scribes, and no doubt the
Pharisees, could say to those wise men, “Well, I tell you where he is.
He’s got to be down there in Bethlehem or Judea because that’s
exactly where he’s supposed to be born.” 

	Oh, they knew that. But how convenient it was to forget that they
directed the wise men there and they themselves turned down the one that
was born there, who was King of the Jews.

	Now, they were one people in one place. They were studiously looking
for these things. You show me Christianity in one place studiously
looking with all the pooled resources of their knowledge. Hogwash!
You’ve got hundreds of organizations, cults, and sects, and God knows
what (And we’re one of them.) all pulling in every different
direction, no more pooling our knowledge than nothing. The only thing
they’re pooling these days is their ecumenical bliss, which is going
to lead them right into complete destruction because, to become
ecumenical, they must give away more and more and more until they give
everything away and they’ve got nothing but damnation. You know that
as well as I do. That’s the truth.

	 It is a sign that the resurrection of the righteous is in this hour as
well as our change into immortality. The Son of man coming in clouds of
glory is the witness to the hour of the Son of man being revealed. This
is part of the revelation of the Son of man. So, make no mistake about
it: this is the Appearing. This is the Appearing. This is Christ coming
more and more and more into visibility until He’s seen by a
photograph. Here...over here the same thing. [Bro. Vayle points to both
pictures.] This is the Appearing that Bro. Branham spoke of.

13. Here is where we differ from all the other believers who call
themselves Christians. The Appearing is not the Rapture. They say it is,
but it isn’t. The Appearing is a space of time before the Rapture. And
this signifies you are in that space of time now getting ready. And the
only readiness, wherein you are not ready, is the revealed Word of
almighty God.

	 When you begin to examine what Bro. Branham set forth as to conduct
and order, he set forth very, very little. There was little to correct,
but the Word needed correction very desperately. It is only by
understanding this, this space of time before the Resurrection (your
change and mine) and the Rapture... It is only by understanding the true
Appearing... (And this is part of it; this is what we see visibly.) I
say it’s only by understanding this that we can fathom Eph 1:17-23.
And we all know exactly what that is. That’s when the Spirit of God
comes into the Church to give a revelation of the knowledge of Him, to
open the eyes of our hearts, our souls, to know certain information that
we must know relative to the hope of His calling, the riches of the
glory of His inheritance. And at that same time the power of God is
loosed to bring about a Resurrection. So therefore, this is a sign of
the approaching Resurrection...absolutely cannot be changed. 

14.	To understand this, is to understand Rev 10:1-7 where the mighty
messenger comes down with a rainbow. The same One that you saw in
Revelation 4 and 5, sitting on the throne with a rainbow over His head,
came down on earth, God Himself, to speak to a prophet, to speak upon
earth because the Thunders were upon earth and to bring forth the truth
at the end time where everything runs out. 

	You have to see this to see Lk 17:20-30 because It speaks of the
kingdom of God. The two go together. It is the Appearing. It is the days
of the Son of man revealed upon earth. They came and said, “When’s
the Kingdom going to come?” And He said, “The Kingdom is going to
come, but you won’t be able to see it.” There’ll be plenty of
evidence, but you can’t figure it. No, you won’t be able to do it.

15.	Now, look; back there theology and nationalism was a great stumbling
block. Today it is head knowledge. It’s your scientists and the whole
aggregate of so-called facts that they try to marshal to destroy the
truth. He said the Kingdom of God is in the midst of you. He said the
days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of
man and you, this generation, shall not see it because they’re going
to see him die and rise again, but they won’t see Him come back in a
ministry. 

	And they say, “See here or see there.” Don’t bother going looking
because you will have already seen it and understood it. So, when you
see and understand, you don’t go looking. So therefore, if any of your
brothers and sisters in this church or any of your friends in this
Message are out there looking for something, you better believe this:
they don’t know this Message. They’re not part of it. And if any of
you people here today, you’ve got a wandering spirit, you’ve got to
run around and taste this and that, you better forget coming here
because I can’t do you any good, because you won’t believe me. 

16.	You say, “You’ve got to hear Bro. Vayle.” 

	No, you don’t got to hear me, but you better sit somewhere. Get your
roots planted down because I’m not pastoring jack rabbits. Sheep
follow a shepherd. Until I give you cause to just stop listening, you
better be here listening because that’s the only way I can be
responsible for you. On Judgment Day I will be responsible whether I
want to or not. Don’t go looking here and there. Now, if you’re not
satisfied, you better go looking. It’s more than your privilege.
I’ll help you do it; pay your bus fare or anything else you want.
I’m not being facetious; I’m just telling you the truth. You want
it, I’ll help you, but you’ve got to settle down. You don’t go
running here and running there, turn on your TV—if you’ve got
one—and say, “Hey, I’m going to look at Swaggart. I’m going to
look at this and the other thing.” 

	They haven’t got a thing for you, brother/sister, except death. If
that wasn’t the truth you, wouldn’t be here. You’d be someplace
else where it’s far more academic and far more pleasurable. See.
Don’t follow.

	Tells you right here, you look for light; the same light in Israel.
What was the light? Well, what was the light? In Him was life and the
life was the light of men.

17.	So, we go back to 1 John 1, and in there He says:

(1)	That which was from the beginning which we have heard, (You can’t
hear spirits.) ...which our eyes have seen, (You cannot see spirits.)
which we have looked upon, (You can’t look upon spirits.) (which) our
hands have handled, (You can’t handle spirits.) of the Word of Life.

(2)	For the life was manifested…

	Now, in Him was life (I’ll be preaching on that again, just so I
won’t say much this morning.) and that life was spirit, just as Adam
and Eve were. So God fabricated from protein, from the elements of the
earth, that body that could manifest them, and because it was simply the
clothing and the formulation of material from that spirit, that was
Adam, that was Eve. So therefore, when you saw Jesus, you saw Him, Who
is God. If you do not believe that ‘I am’, you are dead, dead, dead.


	Now, It says that light was the light of men; what they handled, what
they saw, what they looked upon, what they listened to. In other words,
that visible man, what He did and what He said was light. So therefore,
if God should desire to repeat the days of the Son of man, all He needs
is a body. Who will be the body? “Well I,” said the great
ecumenical, president pope. 

	Drop dead. You’re twice dead now, plucked up by the roots for even
suggesting it. Let God send His man. What will that man be? A prophet.
So, that’s what we’re looking at.

18.	See, this is exactly what we see here. Let’s go back to Luke 17
again because we were reading It. We don’t have to keep reading It,
but we… This is a favorite portion of Scripture because, you see, this
is life. This is where we’re living.

	All right. The light come to the earth, the same manifestation.
That’s why Bro. Branham continually said, if He’s the same
yesterday, today and forever, He will now do in the form of the Holy
Spirit, here in this building, what He did when He was here in the flesh
on this earth, and it was done every single time. That’s why I said
this morning, you don’t need to worry about healing, a special
message, a special anything; this is your healing. All you’ve got to
do is believe It. This is the greatest thing in the world. You’ve got
the greatest demonstration to base your faith on that the world’s ever
seen.

	Now It says, He’s going to suffer and be rejected in this generation.
So, it’s another generation that’s going to see this repeat. “God
in human form,” as the prophet said: God in a prophet; God using
another body. See? Okay. 

19.	What’s it going to be like? ...the days of Noah. That’s when it
comes back. ...the days of Lot. That’s when it comes back. Just before
fire and brimstone hit. That’s when it comes back. And at that time
there will be a separation. Number one: in Matthew 24 by the Word;
number two: by a rapture. So therefore, this here is separating time.
Here is the Judge. Here is the King. He said, “I’m going to gather
my own.” This is the great gathering for the exodus, and it’s done
the way God always does it; He does it by a prophet. 

	Don’t let your minds go into a funk at this time and weasel out on
you because that word ‘prophet’. You’re thinking too much of men
like William Branham. God is His Own prophet; Jesus was a prophet. The
prophet died upon Calvary. The same One is immortal up there. He’s
just a multiplicity of offices, and the great office is the great
prophet. But we’ve been taught so much about Savior, Savior, wham,
whlam, this that and the other thing, that we have gotten a very weak
revelation of the Lamb and the Savior (Right!) because we don’t
understand ‘prophet’. And you’ve got to understand more than just
Savior and this and that because let me tell you, It says at the end
time, when the Spirit comes into the Church to tell the Church, the
question is this, who will be the voice of the Spirit? There you are.

20.	So, this is Resurrection vindication right around the corner. Right
in this minute it’s coming out. So, never forget what we’re looking
at. This is not the Rapture; this is not the Second Coming. This
precedes the Rapture. This is Christ coming more and more to His Church
for a total rejection, so that if you’re in the church, you’re lost.
You’re one of them. 

	Oh, the Pentecostals sing “I’m so Glad that I Am One of Them.” I
sung it as a kid; we sing it now in the right way. But they sing it;
they’re one of the ecumenical boys and don’t even know it. They’re
caterwauling and claiming, but they don’t have a part in it. They got
the Roman Catholic baptism, my brother/sister. And the oneness got an
erroneous understanding; they’re Jesus-Only. But there’s a Bride
somewhere that’s got the truth. By His grace, we’re part of It.
That’s point number one.

21.	Another high point in this Message is the ‘alpha and omega’ of
the Seventh Seal revelation because it’s got to have an ‘alpha’ if
there’s going to be an ‘omega’. You cannot find something in
Revelation that is not in Genesis. Now, that’s that. Now, let’s
understand that because you can’t add or take from. It is the ‘alpha
and omega’ of the Seventh Seal under which the Seven Thunders is; the
Seven Thunders and the Seven Seals. 

22.	Notice the Scripture. So, let us go back to It: Genesis 3. A lot of
this is repeat, but additional, because we want to nail it down because,
if I don’t feel happy about something that isn’t nailed down,
we’re going to just...I’m going to preach until I’m happy. And
that means, if you’re unhappy, that’s your tough luck because by
this time you should really be thoroughly understanding. I don’t want
to be hard on anybody; that’s just the way I say things.

	Look, Gen 3:22...begin:

(22)	And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to
know good and evil; ...now lest he put forth his hand, and take also of
the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

(23) 	Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden (He
put him right out of the government of God.) to till the ground from
whence he was taken (He wasn’t taken out of the ground of Eden.
Let’s get that flat, because this is God’s headquarters. Only Jesus
was the Lord of heaven. You bet).

(24)	So he drove the man out; and he placed at the east of the garden of
Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the
way of the tree of life (which meant he could not get near there).

	Now, look here. We’ve got to understand something here. From this
Scripture we realize one hundred percent that the purpose or reason that
God had the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden was to bestow
immortality. Right? Right! Anybody not see that? It’s clear as a bell.
It says It right here. Why, he said, if he gets to that Tree of Life,
he’ll become immortal. So, the Tree of Life was placed there so that
he could become immortal. 

	So now, it’s removed from that time slot to another time slot.
Because you have got to admit, even by reasoning...and reasoning is not
fallacious. It’s not fallacious if you are spiritual-minded. Man was
always meant to live forever in a beautiful state of eating and drinking
and building and sowing and reaping and loving every split second for
trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions to infinity of
seconds. 

23.	You ever found a time when you hated to go to sleep, it was just so
great? or hated to wake up because it was just so great? or didn’t
want to quit eating because it was just so great? You just didn’t want
to stop something? Well, this is going to be everything beyond your
imagination, or your capability of even suggesting something to yourself
now, that’s going to go on and on, and you’ll never get enough.
There won’t be any shoofly pie and apple pan dowdy. That’s about all
the world thinks of and all the world is going to get.

	 We’re going to have something eternal because you see we were
basically a part of God, and that will never be satisfied until you
basically get exactly what God gave Jesus the Christ, which was a
glorified, perfect body. You can’t, brother/sister. You can’t stop
short of it, and this is what we’re looking at: the purpose of God.
And it got sealed up under the Seventh Seal when God came down like a
thunderbolt and said, “Adam, where are you?” Cut the whole thing
back. Put it completely under lock and key, but did not throw the key
away because He said, “I’ve got the key of life and death. And I
control the gates of hell.” Sure did. 

24.	Okay, let’s go then to the purpose of God. We go to the Book of
Ephesians (and I won’t worry about taking all the message this morning
because I’m not going to cover it). Ephesians 1:3. 

(1)	Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath
blessed us with all spiritual blessings in (the heavenlies) in Christ.

(2)	According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the
world, that we should be holy and without blame before him. In love

(3)	Having predestinated us (who was in Him to a physical being.
Predestination deals with the physical. Foreknowledge deals with the
blueprint; election deals with the material. Predestination puts it
together and delivers it). In love having predestinated us unto the
adoption of children…

	Now, a lot of people don’t understand anything about the Greek. They
want to tell you we were poor little children out in the world, our
father was the devil, but God came by and adopted us. ...a lot of
hogwash! You ever heard such junk? It means you’re going to be placed
where you’re supposed to be placed. Where? In the Garden
immortal...because that was the purpose of God. The purpose of God was
Adam to get to the Tree, and he blew it. Right? Right! Right? Okay,
that’s good. Glad you’re getting it. 

25.	(5) 	Having predestinated us unto the (placing) of children by Jesus
Christ (unto) himself; (and by himself) according to the good pleasure
of his will,

(6)	To the praise of the glory of his grace,wherein he hath made us
accepted in the beloved. 

 (7)	In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of
sins, according to the riches of his grace. 

This is the history of how you get there, having fallen. That’s all.

(8)	Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence.

	And there’s a great big wisdom in our day that comes up in verse 17.
And if you leave that out, you ain’t got ‘all wisdom’. If you
leave that out, you ain’t going to make it. If you leave that out, no
dead are going to come out of the ground for this age or any other age
since the others rose up, and there won’t be any complete family or
anything else. 

26.	So, “wisdom and prudence...”

(9)	Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his
good pleasure which he...purposed in himself.

	Now, the mystery is what? Not the mystery of ‘we’re going to be
immortal; that we’re going to take of the Tree of Life.’ The mystery
is ‘how we’re going to be able to do it? How is it going to be
done?’” As Bro. Branham said, “We know ‘what’; we don’t know
‘how’,” on a tape. 

(10)	That in the dispensation of the fulness of times… (Well, he’s
got a timeset? What’s he going to do?)…gather together in one all
things in Christ both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even
in him:

	In other words, there’s going to come the perfect climax of God’s
divine blueprint. Yep. 

(11)	In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated
according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the 
counsel of his own will.

	In other words now, there’s something in here, in the purpose of God,
which was to get us to the Tree of Life. It’s going to go beyond it:
things that are in His Own counsel not yet revealed. In other words,
we’ve got a revelation to a stopping place, which is a jumping off
place, and we’re getting there. And this is what it’s all about,
right there...“The Anointed Ones at the End Time”, so you don’t
get euchred out of what you got coming to you...so nobody can entice
you.

(12)	And we should be to the place of glory, who first (hoped in) him. 

27.	Now, let’s go to, let’s go to Ephesians 3, and in there we read
verses 8-12, I do believe. 

(8) 	Unto me, who am less that the least of all saints, is this grace
given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches
of Christ;

(9) 	And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery,
which from before times eternal hath been hid in God, who created all
things by Jesus Christ:

(10)	To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in
heavenly places might be made known by the church the manifold wisdom of
God...

	He tells you right here God is going to do something in the Bride
that’s going to let everything that ever was and will be know exactly
what God had in his mind and what He wanted. Now, that’s yours and
mine. And this lets you know that you’re getting mighty close,
brother/sister—mighty close. ...because your redemption is a part of
purpose. Redemption is not purpose. Purpose transcends redemption—your
redemption, brother/sister. You don’t get just changed to sit there
just like a bunch of loonies, “All is done.” Man, you’re just
getting started. This is a little training period. And this is a little
faith period (See.) to let you know. All right. 

	What God had in mind was to get this fantastic glorified family. See.

28.	Now, let your minds go, and I’m not going to preach it. Zoe. Let
your minds go. Zoe. See. Okay. Now, having read Genesis and this, then,
is 1 Cor 15:51.

(51)	Behold, I shew you a mystery; we’ll not all sleep, we’re all
going to be changed.

(52)	In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump; for the
trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we
shall be changed. 

	In other words, what stopped with Adam is now available. That’s what
God wanted for Adam to get him to the place where he would take him
further. But Adam blew it. But God, in allowing it, which gives Him the
opportunity to show forth what He can and will do, in and through and
for mankind, and mankind allowing it and going through it, God will now
give him what man could not imagine if he lived a trillion years to
figure it out. So you see, you’re just really getting into the purpose
now. Because why? The Tree of Life is here for the first time in the two
thousand years. Actually, to get where we’re going and where the Tree
wants us, six thousand years... Because it was the Tree of Life that
raised those dead but couldn’t make the present immortal. Oh, it could
have, had it wanted it. But it would have spoiled it, and God’s not in
the spoiling business. 

29.	So, what’s He doing now? He is giving us the Tree of Life that we
can avail ourselves by eating this Word. Eating. You’re not living on
the words of a man; you’re living or eating on the body Word of the
Lord Jesus Christ Himself. And it’s putting on an inner garment
wherein you are changing in the very structure, I would say “of your
soul” particularly, and your spirit—mind-renewing; feeding more and
more until the atoms have come to a place where they not only can
change, they must change. You can say what you want, but that’s what
It says. “Look up, your redemption draweth nigh.” “This generation
shall not pass away.” 

	You say, “Well, I think maybe somebody else ought to have it.” 

	You better start smartening up. You’re the ones that’s going to
have it. And to try and pass it on as though you were humble is not
humble at all. You’re stupid! And notice I said that quietly and
nicely. It doesn’t... It doesn’t go here. Okay

30.	(52)	… for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised
incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

(53)	For this corruptiblity must put on incorruptibility, and this
mortal must put on immortality. 

(54)	...(at that time) death is swallowed in a victory.

(55)	O death, where is your sting? O death, where is your victory? 

(56)	The sting of death is sin. 

	It is appointed unto man once to die. Why? Because of sin. But now he
can’t die. Well, who did it? Judge...told you about it. Judge proved
it. See, you are looking at a proven thesis. That’s why you don’t
run. You don’t add; you don’t take. I know that everybody doesn’t
teach it. There’s... God has sent prophets, wise men, scribes. He sent
a prophet with the Word; He sent a five-fold ministry to delineate and
give it to you. And He sent those that can simply just quote what the
prophet said or simply read it. But, it’s good enough. But I tell you,
you can have what you need, and you’re getting it. 

31.	This then, is also Rev 22:10. Now, listen. Let’s look at It: Rev
22:10. That’s where we start.

(10)	And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this
book: for the time is at hand.

	Now, the Book was sealed up in Rev 10:4. So, here it’s unsealed. See.
Okay. Now, only God can unseal the Book. See, not at this time, when
It’s unsealed. Now, what was sealed up in the Garden? The Tree of
Life. What does the breaking of a seal do? It looses what’s under it.

	 Brother Branham said, “Christ was those Seals.”

	Not the Seven Seals written on the Book, it’s what was contained
therein. So, God loosed Himself from the obligation of keeping people
from immortality. So now, God and man have an obligation, which is
eternal, to get to the Tree. God’s got to get us to the Tree, and
we’ve got to see we get to the Tree, because this is the hour. How are
you going to do it? Well, you’ve got to have somebody help you. How
has God ever done it? The prophet. People simply will not believe that.
That’s why I said a while ago, if you denigrate Jesus Christ to the
place of a Lamb or a Shepherd or a Savior or a this or a that and say
“but not prophet,” you’re gone. You’re finished. I’m just
telling you the truth. You’re finished, because that’s what they did
in Israel; they would not receive him as the prophet that Moses spoke
of. 

	Well, they said, “The guys got a pretty fair gimmick. He’s linked
up with something. But is he that man? No, he is not that prophet.”

32.	Now, listen to me, brother/sister. You get your Bibles out when you
get home and you trace everything through that you can, and I’m going
to tell you what you’re going to find before you trace it through.
You’re going to go back, and you’re going to find the seed of the
woman in Genesis 4, I believe it is, or 3. You’re going to find it
there. From that time on, it’s going to be prophet, prophet, prophet,
prophet. You look for yourself. You’ll find a little smidgen, a hint
now and then, when God reveals Himself to the people that He is Jehovah,
complete—every facet of redemption lies in Him. You’ll find many
things, but, brother/sister, the key is prophet, for He is the prophet
Messiah. He is the prophet Savior. He is the prophet Lamb. And He is the
prophet right now; God is His Own prophet. And remember; the prophet has
everything to do with Judge. And remember; prophet is Son of man. It’s
linked to the human race, period. The things that Bro. Branham taught us
were not in vain. It’s just been a long time getting to us.

 33.	(11)	(At this time,) He that’s unjust (will remain unjust.) He
that is filthy (cannot be cleansed.) He that is righteous (cannot be
unrighteous. No way, no shape or form.) He that is holy (cannot ever get
unholy).

	It’s over; it’s done; it’s finished. That’s it. That’s White
Throne! Urgency. Nobody wants to believe urgency. Dilly-dally,
shilly-shally, it won’t work. 

	Now, He said that at this time you better look out because “I’m
going to come pretty quick one of these days. Yep. I’ll be coming in
the Rapture. I’ll be descending down there, and the Spirit that’s in
the midst of you now will become incarnate to you.” And He’ll take
you up there before the incarnation. And when he’s incarnate, you’ll
crown Him King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Now, He said:

(13)	 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and
last. (And I’m trying to show you something here.)

	Go back to the Book of Genesis and see where the Tree of Life is and
what it’s all about. It’s immortality. God wants to get you there.
From that point God will take you anywhere. 

34.	Now, notice:

(14)	Blessed are they that (wash their robes,) that they may have the
right to the tree of life, and enter in through the gates into the city.


(15)	(Because) without (there’s nothing but dogs.)

	That’s male prostitutes; that’s your bunch of preachers. You notice
that Jimmy, that they say that this guy Jimmy Bakker had a procurer.
They got about three-quarter million dollars here for procuring. Put all
the preachers together that procure—pimps. Pimp preachers. Baker’s
take is fiddlesticks alongside of the billions the church has taken in
for years for being procurers for the harlot systems. Take a good look
at it brother, sister. 

35.	There’s nothing today that doesn’t type. There’s nothing in
your newspapers that doesn’t type. Check your own lives. Come on, get
personal this morning. I dare you to be personal with yourselves. Check
your own lives; find out. No problem; it’s there. You might come up
with some pretty swill things: s-w-i-l-l. You might come up with some
pretty swell, s-w-e-l-l, things, too. You may look back and you wonder
how God allows you to have a heart that you didn’t have before because
you sowed for it. And you sowed in a way that you didn’t even know
that you sowed. 

	I can tolerate things today that never could I take them before. And I
look back and I see their roots in a little simple thing; a little
kindness done somewhere and it begin to come back. You know what? A
mushroom can lift literally a ton of concrete to get to the sun. A life
lies in there that is blessed of God, that any object can be lifted if
you just let yourself go. I’m trying to teach you over a long period
of time some of these things. I want you to know them because your life
depends upon them. The very things that you want in this life will come
to you if you sow; but, you’ve got to sow right. 

	A number of years ago there was a friend of mine, his brother married a
woman who was an alcoholic. They had a terrible existence.

	 And he said to his brother, he said, “Hobson, I sure wish I had a
wife like yours.”

	“Well,” he said, “I tell you one thing; I didn’t get mine on a
barstool.”

	I’m just letting that go as a little illustration, brother/sister.
There’s a lot to life here. There’s a lot that you can get outside
that are sorcerers, whoremongers, murderers, idolaters. “Whosoever
loveth and maketh a lie,’ they’re the worst of the works. 

36.	And he said:

(16)	 I Jesus have sent mine (prophet) to testify unto you these things
in the churches (because the prophet had talked to John).

	Don’t understand everything, but there it is. So, we’re looking at
that. All right. Now, listen; we’re looking at that seal that was
clamped on immortality, and believe me, when it did, that seal sealed
everything. See. All right. It was one man, Adam, who had the only true
revelation of God’s Word when sin entered. Listen carefully. There was
only one man, and that was Adam, ordained of God, who had God’s true
revelation of the Word when sin entered. And when the twins came to
light, Cain and Abel, only one had a true revelation—not any more, and
there will only be one man at the end with the true revelation of
Malachi 4. That’s all. He’s Alpha and Omega. Isn’t He? Okay.
How’s he going to end the age? 

	He started the age that blotted out the Tree of Life: one man, and he
blew it. At the end, then, there’ll have to be one man who won’t
blow it. And Bro. Branham said, “I will take to my grave.” And he
did. Whatever... That’s his business; but he never blew it. Listen
carefully. It is just like Noah in the flood: only one man had the
revelation. The rest had to seek to it. And he was the only
‘perfect’ man, which means ‘genetically perfect’—the only true
human being. 

37.	So, before this hour comes, there has to be one man and one man
alone with the true revelation that is a true servant who understands
the true Blood and the true Spirit, the true Word, even as Abraham: one
man—one man—stood there just before the fire fell. Because that’s
why Bro. Branham said there’s only one major prophet. And everybody
gets thrown by the fact that there was somebody else on the scene. What
I think Bro. Branham should have said, let’s face it; there is only
one who is ever entrusted with a Word like this, because he himself
said, Moses, Paul, William Branham. And you study Scripture; there is
always one person who has the preeminence. When he went up there in the
vision or transported...and I don’t know how, (That’s his business
and God’s business.) the Voice said to him, “You were meant to be a
leader.” And he was. There’s got to be leadership.

	Thus the great mystery of Elijah comes into view as to restoration: one
person. It took only one man in the presence of God, (Right?) in the
presence of God, to dislocate it all; so therefore, it will take only
one man in the presence of God to relocate and restore. Well, come on.
Latter Rain, they’ve got a… Well, they’ve got what we don’t
have, thank God. The proof of his ministry is vindication. He alone was
vindicated. His Word to the Bride alone stands. 

38.	Ephesians 3:10:

(10)	To the intent that now unto the principalites and powers in the
heavenly places…

	That’s the ‘elevated’ places: your great theologians, the people
that are smart, and all of those things. 

(10)	…by the church (will be made known,) the manifold wisdom of God. 

	Not these people here, but a little tiny group who looks like a flat
tire. Compare that with Eph 1:17.

(17)	…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:

(18)	(To the intent your eyes as souls were) enlightened; that you may
know the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his
inheritance in the saints...

	 ...to the end that you may be, to know—and that’s physically
know—the power of the Resurrection: you, yourself, changed and taken
up to glory. How many people are going to do it? You tell me. 

	Therefore, anything, then, that follows this Elijah ministry is false.
It is counterfeit and not of God, no matter how good it looks or who
brings it. 

39.	Galatians 1:6.

(6)	I marvel that you are so soon removed from him that called you into
the gospel of Christ unto another gospel:

(7) 	Which is not another (In other words, there’s only one gospel, so
forget what you call a gospel. It’s not even recognized. God had
disrespect to Cain, though it was a very wonderful offering.) but there
be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

(8)	But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto
you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

(9)	As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other
gospel unto you than that you have received, let him be accursed. 

	So, Paul said, “Let me be accursed if I come and bring you something
else.” 

	See, you cannot add or take from it. 

40.	Now, listen; they will say in one group who claim to believe our
prophet, William Branham, especially from Europe: “Did he cover this?
How come he left this out? Why did he not explain this or put this
together this way? After all, you see, we can read the Bible, too. “

	 The big shot from Germany that said that—well, almost identical to
that—he criticized Bro. Branham. He’s got his PhD now at London
University; piled higher and deeper. That’s all it is. The hogwash of
man’s intellect... What’s it going to do for him? ...preaching
polygamy; living in sin. Let me tell you something, brother/sister: Go
out and start a religion like that. You can get any number. Talk in
tongues to justify yourself. That’s been done, too; the Way
organization came out of Ohio. You don’t die of cirrhosis of the liver
without drinking usually. Check the records. You foster sin. Go open a
route somewhere; go with the ecumenicals. You’ll have a following.

41.	How long will we be together? I don’t know. I said many a time
back yonder, I said, “We’ve got ninety-two seats. By tomorrow
morning they could go ninety-two different directions, but by the grace
of God they won’t.” We’ve got a hundred and some here now; by the
grace of God they won’t. I don’t know. But people don’t want to
hew the line to what Bro. Branham taught in this message. I can’t
understand it.

	 Others will say, “He left … He, he, he left out some things, and
we’re here to put them in. We have fresh manna.” 

	This kid from Virginia wrote me, right at the very beginning of the
tape. He let us know that Bro. Branham was off the scene, and, you know,
there’s something they were picking up. So, his good buddy went back
to Barnes. Barnes has been dead. His notes aren’t all that great. I
gave mine away; well, they might be in the office. I don’t know.
Barnes, I think I gave them away, but I don’t know. What’s for us?
It’s dead manna! Brother/sister, they say they’ve got fresh manna.
Don’t you believe it. 

	They say, “We have the Word for this hour.” 

	They don’t have the Word for this hour because they pervert It. 

42.	All right. As usual, I’m going to just stop there because our
time’s gone; as far as I’m concerned it’s gone anyway. And I
don’t have time to take the last point, which is: position the prophet
where God put him...and make sure you keep him there. Not as though
I’m warning anybody. That’s for all of us.

	See, brother/sister, we’ve got something that’s too deep and too
wonderful to just let go by the board. We’ve got something that’s
not casual anymore. It’s life. And Bro. Branham brought out that
beautiful part of the psalm, where he said, “My soul pants after thee,
oh God, as the hart pants after the water brook.” And he said, “The
wounded deer that’s been wounded by the wild dogs, if he can just get
to where the water is, he will live.” And that’s where we are today,
brother/sister. We are there; we are in the pavilion of God if we place
ourselves there by grace believing we are fully elect to let Him cover
us in the day of the destruction He preached concerning the Rapture. 

43.	We are living in critical time. But the critical time, my
brother/sister, I believe it’s going over everybody’s heads; because
we are looking at every single solitary thing but the truth. And that is
this: there was a couple of lovely people in the Garden of Eden. They
were fine, fine people. She walked one day on her own, away from her
husband who had the Word of God for her. She had a very handsome
enticing person who looked just like a man, who could talk and converse
with everything else. He simply seduced her, and she fell for the
seduction—the blandishments of it all. 

	And now today, we’ve got the very same thing: the Garden of Eden all
over again. They look at the Tree of the Knowledge, and “It’s
beautiful to look at,” and, “Why, it’s good for food; this is
wonderful.” And the Tree of Life stands there as a root out of dry
ground. And there’s no beauty that they want Him. And they say, “You
bunch of cults.” 

44.	That’s all. Well, praise God! Praise God. If I’m presenting this
Message in such a way that you want it because of sheer eloquence and
sheer brilliance and sheer beauty and sheer wonder, there’s something
‘sheerly’ wrong with my ‘sheer’ delivery. There is, my
brother/sister, because it isn’t that way except to the elect. The
true Jesus does not look very beautiful to anybody outside the true
Bride. And the true Bride does not look very beautiful to anybody but
Jesus Christ. And let us say the fact that has been said before,
that’s only too true, though a man said it: (And men often say the
truth.) “Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder” and false beauty is
only skin deep. True beauty is down in the heart. 

45.	How is it that some people can look at some person whose features
are the most irregular, and there’s nothing there that would commend
that person to any type of excitement when it comes to the natural when
you’re looking for something beautiful in a person. And yet there’s
something there that cannot be produced except by a soul that is in
touch with God or a mighty element that is apart from man. It comes
right down again to the picture that Dr. Price said. One was the
millpond that was glass before the burnished sun; not a leaf of the tree
moved—silence. But the roaring cataract…and just beside it where the
spray could touch the little mother bird, the roaring thunder,
dissidence, discord, yet her eye was peace. There was something real.
And the man said, “That is stagnation. That is peace.” “This is
beauty; the other is corruption.” 

46.	David one day sat alone, and he looked around, and he said, “I saw
the great man out there, the sinner, that great warrior against us,
merchant man (or whatever he was), a polluter of the things of God, a
despoiler. And he flourished like the green bay tree.” And he said,
“I was very sad in my heart until one day I considered the end of the
wicked.” And he said, “I wouldn’t go there for anything. I’d
just be a doorkeeper in the house of my Lord, than dwell in the tents of
those wicked.”

	Have you heard what that Fahd’s son? They go out and they hunt in the
desert. And they’ve got tents, three tents that cover acres. That’s
what he’s talking about? The billions the Arabs have...or one kid
could have a million bucks a week just to spend...three big airplanes
any time he wants it--jumbo jets. 

	And David saw those birds out there, and he said, “My!” he said.
“I got pretty envious. I got pretty distressed.” He said, “I began
getting myself worked up.” But he said, “I sat back one day. I began
to meditate, and I saw what their end is.” 

47.	Now, brother/sister, that’s what we’re looking at. We’re
looking at the end of the purpose of God in this hour and the Message
come forth: “Watch out. Watch out!” You’re not as smart as you
think you are because Eve in innocence and the pristine purity of
knowing only one thing, the things of God, the enemy came right in and
said, “Hey, let me tell you all about it.” And she died; and the
world died with her.

	Tonight we’re going to live because He lives and He’s living in our
midst. I believe when we sing “He’s Here”, I believe He’s here
with all my heart.

	Let’s rise and be dismissed.

	Heavenly Father, we know this is truth, oh God; truth in the inner man.
We know it’s your truth; it was demonstrated to us. And Lord, here we
are hungering, not for another Message, but for a reality that comes
from this Message in our hearts so that we are so at home with it and it
with us, that we’re walking and talking with the Lord of Glory; He’s
molding our lives, and we are happy to see our lives molded; He is
leading us minute by minute, and we’re happy to be lead. Somehow,
Lord, we just cannot cease hungering to be what the prophet said
concerning himself. He said, “I always do what I want; I always want
to please Him.” Now, Lord, help us to just not come to the place of
the want, because I suppose we’re there and even past that. Help us
now, Lord, to be to the doing of It. And we know there’s the happiest
place in all the world to know Your Voice and to walk step with step and
step-by-step in faith sometime when we simply know Your Word and say I
believe this is exactly the way to walk because the Word said so; then
we hear the voice behind us saying, “That’s right; this is the way.
Walk ye therein. Just keep walking.”

	So, Lord, we know really what it’s all about. We’ve got life
within. We’ve got leadership behind, before and all around us if
we’d only recognize it. Father, we’re not serious enough; we’re
not sober enough. What’s going to happen to make us that way? Will it
be something like a thunderbolt bringing us to our senses? some
cataclysmic thing, oh God? some disorder which could be tragic amongst
us, Lord God? What is it? I don’t know. Sooner, Lord, all of us would
say with that One who wrote the Scripture. “If you’re going to
chasten us, chasten us in mercy. Bring us up, but not in wrath, oh
God.” Not because we have to have something to be whipped for, Lord,
or whipped around, oh God. But help us be sweet, dear, obedient children
to just want more and more and more, oh God. 

	Take the world out of our hearts and our minds. Take the throb of the
universe away, Lord. Get us in touch with Him who is Logos, with Him who
is the true Zoe set in this cosmos which He owns because He made it,
until we’re an integral living, throbbing part of that Kingdom, oh
God—not just a part, but a living, throbbing part Father. And Lord,
maybe there’s a big price to pay, and we’re sort of looking out of
our eyes corner-wise hoping you don’t hear us or do something about
it. Father, take it all away; whatever’s wrong take it all away. God,
strip it all away somehow, as the prophet said, that old nature be
annihilated. 

	We’re asking this, Lord, not just because we want it, not to do
something with it, Lord, to be somebody, but actually, Lord, to know
that we’re just one with You in this walking and talking, and some
things are coming out the way You want them to come out, and we’re
serving You and others as You’d like it to be. That’s what we’re
thinking about. And we’ll give You the honor and glory. 

	Go with us, Lord, and may as the prophet always said, “Take this
Message for your healing. May there not be one feeble or sick one among
us,” oh God. May we begin to believe that as never before and, in
love, see it in every single person until that sweet spirit manifests
moment by moment, day by day because Lord we’re going on. We’re
going higher and higher, by the spirit of God, transformed by that Word.
We give You glory in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

	“Take the Name of Jesus with You.”
