Leadership #11

The Word, Our Leader

A Man Possessed of God 

August 21, 1994

	Shall we pray. Heavenly Father we know that in this message, the last
message that Bro. Branham is preaching on the field, just before it all
winds down with “Communion”, with the little group there in Tucson,
we ask You to help us to recall in our minds what has been previously
said concerning “Leadership”, because we know that this will be the
conclusion of it all. And realizing, then, that as he is leaving the
scene there will be a leadership that he has pointed us to that is going
to take us into the Millennium, which we know he said was the Pillar of
Fire leading us there. 

	So, help us to understand that, Lord, all through the Message, he has
this one understanding in mind, that You, Lord, the One of that Exodus
of which we are looking at, when Moses was there and the Pillar of Fire,
and then Moses taken off the scene, and Joshua leading them, (And our
Joshua is the Holy Spirit.) that we realize we have been commended to
You, Lord. And, let us understand that with all of our hearts, that it
is this great One Himself, God Himself, Elohim, in our midst, leading us
on, having revealed His Word. May we be obedient lambs hearing and
following the voice of this Shepherd and going on in, understanding and
obeying, being, therefore, fully prepared, made really ready. In
Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen. 

	You may be seated.

1.	Now we are on number eleven of “Leadership”, and last Sunday we
were studying paragraphs 146 to 148. And we’ll, of course, be back to
that, based on Bro. Branham’s adamant exhortation that even as the
rich young ruler was confronted by the living Holy Spirit,
God—Jehovah-Elohim in flesh, so are we today. Now that’s quite a
mouthful, but the fact of the matter is: The One in flesh was living
Holy Spirit, God, Jehovah-Elohim, Rhema-Logos, sovereign, in flesh…
And, of course, the flesh was the flesh of His Only-begotten Son. So,
that One was dwelling in the other, and Jesus could say, “He that hath
seen me hath seen the Father; the Father dwelleth in me.”

	Now, that’s not an example or an illustration or an analogy or some
figure of speech. It’s an actual reality.

	People would say, “Well, that’s a split personality. We’ve got
somebody here that says he’s possessed.”

	“He that hath seen me hath seen the Father. I and my Father are one.
The words that I speak are not mine, but my Father’s, which dwells in
me, and the works that I do are not mine, but the Father’s that dwell
in me. I only say what He tells me to say, what I hear from Him. I only
do what He shows me to do.” 

	Bro. Branham expressed that as by visions. And believe me, Jesus did
not pray to himself; He prayed to the Father. It’s a mystery, but
it’s not all that mysterious. It’s what God did. 

2.	So, all right. Bro. Branham’s adamant exhortation that, even as a
rich young ruler was confronted by the living Holy Spirit God,
Jehovah-Elohim, the Rhema-Logos God in flesh, so now today we are
confronted by that same One, that same Person, here in a Pillar of Fire,
having dropped the flesh and gone back to a Pillar of Fire, operating in
and through the prophet Elijah. 

	Now Bro. Branham tells us the Elijah of this hour is not a man; it’s
the Lord Jesus Christ Himself; not man, God. Now, notice what he says,
“Lord Jesus Christ, God.” Well, in case you’re confused, you just
have to stay confused. The fact of the matter is there are many
appellations, many names. But, remember; the Son said, “I came in my
Father’s Name.” So, if you have Jesus Father and Jesus Son, what are
you going to do? Try to make Him one like Bro. Branham said, “He’s
not one like your finger”? Then, why try to make Him one like your
finger? That’s Jesus-Only. That’s a travesty against the true Word
of God. And that One in our midst is not the author or creator of
eternal life, but He Himself the Person, Holy Spirit, is eternal Life,
and the Provider, or Progenitor, or Source, or Birther of it. And you
and I get a portion. 

	Now Bro. Branham was trying to show that congregation that night how
that Headship was here according to Eph 4:15-16, and that Headship came
up through Luther, Wesley, the Pentecostals, (justification,
sanctification, baptism of the Holy Ghost) in restoration of gifts to
the Holy Spirit Himself, as was promised in Eph 1:17, which would bring
us, by making us ready, right into the Rapture and Wedding Supper.

3.	So, all right. Let’s go back to Ephesians 4. And, remember; it’s
Ephesians all over again, and the verses I read… 

(We’re to come to a place) that henceforth (we) be no more children…


	Now, remember; Paul could not teach and give the truth of Melchisedec,
because they were immature children that wanted milk. They couldn’t
handle the truth. So, when the Seals are open at the end time, you find
a maturity the people cannot handle: the understanding of Melchisedec as
brought forth by Bro. Branham. So, he said:

We henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro. 

	Now the tossing to and fro started in the Ephesian age. The seed of
discrepancy, as Bro. Branham said, was already in the church at that
time. And, of course, we know who sowed that seed, and how it came into
the church. Paul explains that in 2 Corinthians 11. 

…and carried about with every wind of doctrine.

	Which means that every doctrine is like a wind that moves upon the
field of wheat and tares. So, every wind comes and causes a ripple,
causes people to sit up and maybe take notice, to take stock again, to
reassess. Well, the age of reassessment is over. The age of the ripple
effect is gone. Either your minds have been thoroughly impregnated by
the Word of the hour through the Holy Spirit, vindicated Word, so there
is no room, and there’s no way another germ, or a seed can get in your
brain, into your mind, into your soul, back into your life… You become
rigid. You become as stony as the stone from whence you are cut. 

	Remember, Jesus in the hour of his temptation simply used the Word that
he had, that he was, to manifest in flesh and was manifesting. First of
all, he was manifesting his own word, which he was that Son. Secondly,
God Himself was manifesting through him, giving him that witness. And he
stood there, and he could not be tempted and tried by any other Word
than the Word, which he was, and he had for those who were a part of
him. And, if you were a part of Christ, you’ve got to be a part of
God. It’s just that simple, because everything was in God to begin
with.

4.	So, now they’re standing right there, and there’s no wind—no
ripple effect. Now Wednesday night a minister brought us a very stirring
message on this rippling wind that’s in the Branhamites. And it seems
that these preachers don’t want anybody to take a stand, to be
confrontational, or you’re of the devil: the kind old priest syndrome.
I’m not interested in going to hell. I would sooner go to heaven as
mean old Lee Vayle, than go to hell as that sweet priest. Now you can
take your pick. I’m not trying to make you mean. Nobody here can say I
am mean. I’m adamant. And though I say I’m trying to give you a mind
fix—stabilize your mind once and for all, you know I have not
attempted to preach my mind or voice any idea upon you which I have
myself, but it is always going to the prophet vindicated and to the
Bible. In fact I am seeking, and, if I am desperately seeking, why
should I pretend to have arrived? But my seeking concerning what the tie
post is, what the vindication is, what the truth is, is over; it is in
these books, which come from this Book, the Bible. So, there’s a big
difference.

5.	Now, let’s keep reading.

(14)	…by the sleight of men. 

	The word ‘sleight’ is like sleight of hand; the hand is faster than
the eye. In other words they shuffle the cards so fast (and everything
from Bro. Branham’s Message) that you’re left swimming—at best a
dead man’s float. I’m not interested. I have given you principles
that Bro. Branham laid down, such as: Alpha and Omega, the two
vines—which is the parallelism of Scripture, which is blessing and
cursing—and other principles, which, when you use given by the master
prophet, William Branham, who was categorically classed with Moses and
Paul, making a complete three, you are now in a position where the
sleight of men cannot deceive you.

…cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive (you).

	They have one purpose: to deceive you. That’s what the kind old
priest was. That’s what this ecumenical spirit is. 

	You say, “Bro. Vayle, I can’t believe it.” 

	You don’t believe the Bible that says they’re deceived and
deceiving. They themselves are deceived and, therefore, deceiving. And
they want to take you to their camp. There isn’t any camp anymore;
everything is outside the camp. 

But (holding) the truth in love, (Now, remember; love is the Holy Ghost.
You’ll find other Scripture concerning that, too, if you look through
the Bible.) may grow up (Not ‘into’ him, but ‘unto’ him.) in all
things, which is the head, even Christ.

	So, now you’re baptized with the Holy Ghost, and now you must come up
to the Holy Ghost. Now, watch.

From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that
which every joint supplieth.

	So, It tells you the whole body, which came down from Him, must now
come to the place through a resurrection and a perfecting at the end
time, where there is no Word added or taken from, because the womb of
the mind has been completely sealed up, and the Bride is now ready for
the first time in history to be presented to Christ to Whom she is
espoused. And this is all by the Holy Spirit. That’s why He’s here
in the form of a Pillar of Fire: to raise the dead, to change us, and to
take us up to the Wedding Supper, wherein He incarnates Himself in a
reincarnation in that body which is called the Lamb, and we crown Him
‘King of Kings and Lord of Lords’.

6.	 Now It says here:

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

	And Bro. Branham thoroughly explained how that works. That the Bride
went into the ground. Like Christ she went into the dark ages and died,
and she begins to come forth as that Bride tree, where the life was
simply in the roots, (And, remember; He is the root of David, and He’s
the root.) and another branch has to come forth. So, it started to come
forth, a measure in the first part was to Luther. A measure in the
second part was to Wesley. Now, what was the measure of? It had to be
the measure of the Word. Because the Word had to come back, because
there’s where the Bride went off. It wasn’t that the Holy Spirit
wasn’t baptizing people. The Bride of Christ was being built up. What
the trouble was: It was getting off the Word. And you can see here is
where we have to get back is to the unshakeable Word, the tie post. 

7.	So, every part, Luther, Wesley, Pentecostals had theirs—now, the
last part. And there aren’t any more parts. That’s why Paul said in
1 Corinthians 13, “When that which is perfect is come, that’s the
time you don’t see through a glass darkly, but face-to-face!”
Face-to-face with Whom? The same One with Whom Moses was face-to-face,
Paul was face-to-face, and now we are face-to-face, and there’s the
picture! Remember, nobody but Paul was face-to-face. And yet he said,
“If you’ve been taught by Christ!…” To have been taught by Paul
was to have been taught by Christ!—the Holy Ghost! To have been taught
by William Branham is to be taught by the Holy Ghost! 

	And people say, “But Bro. Vayle, I’ve heard from God.” 

	Be careful. All are not prophets. God have pity on such people. And how
would they dare in the face of vindicated Scripture, say, “I heard
from God.” Like you had a private interview, and you’ve got
something special. 

	This woman wrote a big long letter to a man in Sweden. Oh, she
condemned me, which is her privilege. I’m glad she did, because, if
she’d have loved me, something had to be wrong. Because Bro. Branham
couldn’t stand her. Why should I? Every time he saw her he ran. 

	You say, “Who was it?” 

	I’m not here to tell you. So, she writes this big long letter, and
she tells how that God showed her about Foot-washing. I don’t care two
bits what she thought God showed her. She’s the same person who said,
“Now, my brother, you had better get yourself a television, so you can
see Jimmy Swaggert, because he’s the next to Bro. Branham.” A
deviant? I’m trying to think of the words. A sexually deviant pervert?
I’d expect something a little better than that to be representative. A
liar and a thief? My stomach turns just to think of it. 

8.	“Every measure.” And the last measure brings perfection, which
means you can’t put a scratch on it. It’s like I said, for the first
time we are capable of making a perfect sphere, and it can be made in a
space shuttle. The first time…unless they had a space shuttle back in
the days of Noah. This is absolutely unheard of: perfection. Now, if you
could bring that ball bearing or that bowling ball, whatever it is, back
here, and you had one teeny hair on it, as part of it, it’s no longer
perfect. And, if you scratched infinitesimally almost the shellac, or
the urethane, whatever you’re putting on it, then it’s not complete.


	That’s the perfection we have in this Word, whether people believe it
or not. And this is what makes the prepared people ready. This is how
Bro. Branham dressed the Bride with the sword, which is the Word of God;
not this Word of God that people have mutilated, but the Word of God in
here that has been perfectly vindicated as the Word of this hour,
because a lot of this is not our hour. Even as Paul said, “There’s
coming a day when you lay aside the principles of God having become
flesh.” You lay it aside. I’ll read it to you here; and then,
we’ll get back to where I’m at. It’s in Hebrews 6, as we all know
where it’s at.

9.	 And he says:

(1)	Therefore (laying aside) the principles of the (Logos) of Christ,
(Christ having been come, and God having become in human flesh,) let us
go unto perfection; (What perfection? The last church age. When Perfect
is come.) not laying again the foundation of repentance… (Don’t go
back to Luther.) of faith toward God, (Don’t go back to Wesley.
Don’t go back to the Pentecostals.)

(2)	(Don’t go back to the doctrines) of resurrection of the dead, (and
all these things that were sort of moot lying there. They weren’t
clear and perfect, but we’ve gone on to perfection. And Paul says,) 

             (3)	(We’ll do it,) if God permit(s).

	And God would not permit! He only permitted now. Show me one place
where Paul said he was able to open the Seven Seals. Now show me one
place in Bro. Branham’s sermons, where Bro. Branham categorically said
the Seven Seals aren’t open. He said the Seventh Seal wasn’t open to
the public. Well, I have news for you; nothing was open to the public.
Bro. Branham categorically said, “The Seven Seals were Revelation
10.1.” If that’s not open, tell me, why did he tell all about it? 

	“Well, what he did, you see, Bro. Vayle, he just really closed the
Seventh Seal by saying those things.”

	No wonder some asked “Where is the Lamb?” 

	And one said, “Well, he’s gone back to dust.” 

	You have an attorney whose lying in the graveyard dust, and you go to
the judge and say, “My attorney has gone to dust, but I have this
attorney.” 

	The judge would wave for the bailiff and the sheriff, “Take him away.
Take him away.” 

	You’re going to tell me that Jesus my mediator, my intercessor is
gone to dust? Or is simply lying comatose upon the Mercy Seat? Well, he
said at the end time, “I could vomit them out.” Maybe this is a
Roman vomitorium—big feast. He’s in here, and you lie down and eat
so much; you get someone to tickle your throat, until you vomit. Is he
lying on the mercy seat, like a Roman? Old Nero with hummingbirds’
tongues and delicacies? 

	I’m going to play it right to the end. They’re the ones that made
the statement. I never made the statement. I can tell you flat where He
is. He’s on His Father’s throne. What’s He doing? Everything He
ever did. Don’t you know He’s got to still mediate to get the
hundred and forty-four thousand in? Wouldn’t it be nice to have one
turn to dust to get a hundred and forty-four thousand in? The poor Jews
are sunk. They’ve got it so bad now, now there not a Jew going to come
in. You wonder why I get sarcastic and virtually, really nasty in my
preaching? It’s because maybe just one of you might think foolishly,
and you better be exposed now, before the white light of God shines upon
us all, because it will. 

10.	Now, listen: perfection… What’s he talking about? When God
Himself comes to take over. And I’m going to tell you something; God
Himself has come to take over. And it wasn’t a beautiful pure Bride so
wonderful He just couldn’t wait to get to her. He had to come now and
do something for her, which was dress her, because she’s wretched and
miserable and blind and literally naked! The prepared one was not ready!
So, the same One that came down in Eden, that started redemption, came
down now to finish it. Isn’t that logical? Well, it doesn’t have to
be logical. It’s absolutely scriptural.

11.	Now It says here: [Ephesians 4]

(16)	…every joint supplying.

	Every joint! What’s the last joint? I think it’s your neck. Right?
I don’t have any joints past here. Any joints here? Who studied
physiology? My merciful heaven, there must be somebody here. Robert, you
studied physiology. Any joints up here? I don’t know some, what is it,
jaw joint maybe? Well that’s taken care of. That’s head. Before you
get here. I don’t know any joint past the neck that isn’t in the
head. I just don’t know any joints past my neck that doesn’t go into
the head. Because, you see, when you go to head, you’re not talking
body. You’re talking what the body came from. Now the jaw and the
tongue and all belongs to the head. 

12.	Now the edifying must come to that place by the Holy Ghost. Now I
know everybody wants to talk about love, but you forget one thing. In
the stature of a perfect man there are eight components, not seven. The
seventh in the seventh age is what? Brotherly kindness, right? And
brotherly kindness is stickiness where you got fishhooks on your elbow.
Now they wonder why it is that we cannot tolerate this stuff, because
we’ve got fishhooks on our elbow, when it comes to this Word. I’ve
got news for you, I am part of the Seventh Age, and I’m sticky, but
still have brotherly kindness.

13.	So, we’re talking about God Who is love, Who has come down here,
and He is that Person. Now, what is that Person? That Person is Eph
1:17, that Paul speaks of.

(17)	The God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, (Now the
only God we know is the Father of Jesus Christ.) may give unto you the
spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him (Himself).

	Now, only God can declare Himself, because there’s nobody else can
declare God. How can you declare a God Who you cannot see? Unless He
makes Himself manifest somehow, you’re out of luck. So therefore, God
Himself is doing this, and it proves it, because, when He’s finished
doing what He’s doing to a Bride, His exceeding greatness of power,
wherein He raised Christ from the dead, is going to raise the dead from
the ground and the Bride living, bring the dead out of the ground, put
them right here. The Bride here is changed; that’s by the voice. The
next thing is the trumpet that takes us up. 

	So, that’s what Bro. Branham is telling them. Turn yourself over to
that leadership: our Leader, our Joshua, Who is the Holy Spirit Himself,
the Lord Jesus Christ. That means Elohim, God, Himself. 

14.	Now, by mentioning the Lutherans, Methodists, Pentecostals as
example of all religious organizations, he showed that now there was
absolutely no means whereby one can come into a relationship with God
for worship and service, except by a prophet, where God literally
fulfills His Own Word by His Own anointing upon that prophet, so once
again it is known! “I am not doing the works, but my Father is doing
the works through me.” 

	That’s not hard to understand, when every Pentecostal, and I suppose
almost every other so-called Protestant and even Catholic, or those that
call themselves Christians, don’t have any problem identifying
themselves with God. Anybody can do that, but the thing is: Can you
identify with the Word? Because without Word identification, you’re
just fooling yourself that you’re identifying with God. We’re right
back in the old day, over thirty years ago, when Sis. Riley, (I’m
mentioning her name, because she’s dead now. She’s lovely sweet
lady.) felt she had her mission to help preachers and ran around telling
them about the anointing of gifts and things.

	And she said, “Bro. Vayle, the big trouble is we should center on
Jesus Christ. It’s that Word that’s causing all the trouble. Forget
the Word, and just come to Jesus.” 

	I said, “Hold it. You’re wrong. The trouble is they have left the
Word.” 

	See, that’s the church. That’s not the Bride.

15.	All right. We’re going to go back to [paragraph] 146 on page 21.
[“Leadership” – December 7, 1965.]

[146]	This young fellow had done the same thing. 

	In other words he was listening to his organization; he was listening
to what his priests said. When he was confronted by God, him believing
in one God, knowing the ancient scriptures, but now that he was
confronted—not with organization, Bro. Branham says, but with God,
Whom organization said they represented and were in God’s pocket,
being that through which you must come in order to worship and serve
God—he turned down God for the organizations. 

	That’s the same as people right today are receiving gifts instead of
the Holy Ghost. They’re turning down the true baptism with the Holy
Ghost, which is without sensation, but piling Word upon Word upon Word,
until you’re filled with the Holy Ghost, (That’s the true baptism.)
and that Word has fully taken over: some this measure, some in that
measure, but one day there’s going to be a full measure, when the Holy
Spirit takes over completely and changes every corpuscle and atom in our
bodies. Don’t you worry. And just before that, you’re going to find
those ten people all in one place, Bro. Branham spoke of, when they have
that one thought of one accord, which means the true revelation has
really come into the Bride, fully and perfectly. Then, there is going to
be a Rapture.

16.	Now he says here:

[146]	This young fellow had done the same thing. Moses wrote those
commandments. But, you see, the same God that wrote the commandment by
His prophets, was the same one that prophesied the day would come,
“I’ll raise up a prophet like unto me. It’ll come to pass that all
those that don’t hear Him will be cut off,” and that’s irrevocably
in the Scripture according to that literal translation. Now, notice:
back in the denominational shuck and tassels. That’s your Lutheran
age, your Wesleyian age, and your Pentecostal age, all in there. And
he’s quoting from Acts 3:19 to about 22. And we read that the other
day. They must go on to Life. 

	In other words, what people don’t understand, and it is difficult to
understand… But all you’ve got to do is let your thinking go. And
that’s all I’ve got to do, is to understand that Bro. Branham was
telling us that there were carriers of this life, even as Paul said in
Ephesians, which come through a ministry, and must one day be perfect in
order for the head to come upon it, because He will not come upon the
imperfect! Not just the concluding, but the polished unto a perfect
finish, where adding a scratch, or taking out by a scratch, is no longer
perfect. In other words you see the point; you can neither add nor take
a word. And, as Bro. Branham said, that is not just per se taking one
word and fooling with it; it’s literally changing the truth. Because I
can take a double negative and bring it to a positive! Not just in
algebra; you can do that in English. You know, it’s not good grammar,
but it will be all right.

17.	 Now:

[146]	They must go on to Life. Now, hold that thought in mind. They must
go on to Life. And today, don’t say, “I’m Pentecost. I belong to
this. I belong to that.” Now, that’s interpolated; so, let me go
over this again.

[146]	“I’ll raise up a prophet likened unto me. It’ll come to pass
that all that don’t hear Him will be cut off;” back in the
denominational shucks and tassels. And Pentecostals and so on. They must
go on to Life. You’ve got to accept the person of Christ, eternal
Life.

	These people don’t know there’s a cut off! Lutherans said,
“We’re it.” And out of all that came out Lutheranism: “We’re
it.” 

	Then came Wesley: “We’re it,” and all that came out them. 

	And they didn’t realize that everyone came out of Rome! So, they had
the seeds of death in them! The Pentecostals came: “We’re it; this
is it; we’ve got it.” Uh-uh. Uh-uh. The seed of death is in
Pentecost. 

	How do we know? Because there was no vindication, and Paul was
vindicated! And he said, “It’s already got the seeds of death in
it!” He said, “You’re already a prostitute!” 

	Now, if you’re a prostitute spiritually, and you come all down
through the ages from the Roman Catholic Church, the Dark Ages, where
life is coming back into the church, and yet death is increasing of
pace, because you and your daughters are going to go to the Lake of Fire
and second death, which they are. And now they’re caught in
fornication, which is really adultery, because she’s espoused to her
husband, and she’s unfaithful, just as though they had come together!
All right. 

18.	Bring it down to this age. Adultery, adultery, adultery. Death,
death, death. That’s why you’ve got AIDS. That’s why. Don’t go
looking around at the fact of people committing adultery. That’s just
the outward thing; that’s what they did back in the garden! You get
off this Word, you will go to adultery—all kinds of corruption.
You’ll be perfectly healthy and have HIV, too. But those little kids
in the London hospital, the Lancet [some media source] says they must
have got it through some instruments in the hospital. What if they
didn’t? What if it’s visiting the sins of the parents to the third
and fourth generation? 

	Oh, let science look in their test tubes. I’m looking in my Bible.
I’ve got no problem. So, I’ll look in my Bible. Why did you find God
saying, “Destroy utterly the Canaanite, the bunch of homosexuals”? 

	“Oh, you mustn’t say that. You’re a terrible person.” I’m
just saying what the Bible said. In the meantime I’m happy and thank
Him for His Word and the revelation, because I know where all this stuff
is coming from, and so do you.

19.	Now, listen.

[146]	Don’t say, “I’m Pentecostal.” Forget it. You’ve got to
go to Life. 

ē truth, that you’ve got to get your mind thoroughly repentant of all
theological premises. You might not even know what the word eschatology
means, but I can tell you right now, you know more about the future from
Bro. Branham than any theologian outside of those who studied under him,
if indeed there be theologians. 

20.	[146]	They must go to Life. You’ve got to accept the Person
Christ, eternal Life. Eternal Life, Christ, Elohim, Almighty God, Who is
Holy Spirit confronts every one of us! Don’t forget it. (Now, jump the
next paragraph.)

[148]	Now, that Life (Rhema, Logos, Holy Spirit, God in a Pillar of
Fire, Jehovah-Elohim) is present tonight. That’s right. The Holy
Spirit… (Now, watch.) The Holy Spirit is here, which is Christ in
Spirit form; His Spirit, the anointing, is here.

	He’s telling you, the Lamb is not here! Who was in the Lamb is here!
Who was in the Lamb? God. Who was the Rock that followed Israel? Elohim.
Who was the cloud by day and the fire by night? Elohim. Look in your
Bibles; go to your Old Testament. What you’re looking at here in the
Word, as I’ve said before, is Christ, which is Christos, which is the
Greek, which is merely the same word ‘Meshiah’, which is Messiah.
God always was the Messiah. 

	“Well, I choose to believe Jesus was.” 

	Well, I choose to believe you’re wrong. It was God in Christ that
made him the manifested evidence and the purveyor of the Messianic
deliverance. But, didn’t he say, “My words are His words; my deeds
are His deeds”? and “What are you looking at”? “He that has seen
me hath seen the Father.” Yet, he said, “No man can see God and
live.” 

21.	Bro. Branham put the truth to this generation. He said, “When God
sent Moses down to deliver Israel, He went with them, and He not only
appeared in signs and wonders and miracles, He Himself appeared in a
Pillar of Fire upon Mount Sinai, so today, and we have His picture.”
And there it is. [Bro. Vayle points to the picture of the Pillar of Fire
with Bro. Branham.] That’s just one of them. Just one of them.
What’s so hard about that? What did he mean, “He that hath seen me
hath seen the Father?” “You’re looking at me, aren’t you? Same
thing.” Those are Bro. Branham’s own words.

	Oh, that makes them run and take cover, doesn’t it? But, you see,
when they come against us, rather, when the powerful wind of the Holy
Ghost brought that one to us, we said, “Hallelujah, I like that!”
The rest of them ran for cover, and some said, “Well, he really
didn’t mean what he said, you know.” 

	Like one person wants to be a real mouthpiece for Bro. Branham, and you
ask him, “Was Bro. Branham God to the people?” 

	“Well, the Bible says he was ‘as God’ to the people.” ‘As
God’ to the people. 

	‘As God’ to the people? I want to ask you a question: Which is the
stronger? ‘As God’ to the people, or ‘God to the people’? Now
some majored in English and what have you, haven’t you? Tell me, which
is the stronger? ‘As God’, or ‘God to the people’? 

	God to the people. Right. Because, if he’s just ‘as God’ you
might neglect the message. He’s either God to the people, or he is not
God to the people. All right.

22.	Now he says we are confronted with God Himself at this hour.
There’s our Leader! And the question is: how come, if that’s so, we
don’t know it? How come? Now, let me go over it again. All right? 

	This young fellow turned down God Himself in the form of human flesh.
Now you know something? That was no different from turning down the
Pillar of Fire by night and the Cloud by day. That was no different from
turning down the manna that fell. That was no different. I’ve said it
irreverently: If God chose to use a brass doorknob, that’s His
business. You better respect that brass doorknob; that’s God to you.
You better know it. 

	So, there was God in human flesh according to the very prophet that
they said they believed! “A prophet like unto me.” And Moses was
able to confront God, because he was not like other prophets who had
dreams and visions, but God appeared to him apparently—visibly. Now,
that visible God manifested Himself to John as He indwelt the Lord Jesus
Christ, that human body, and we call him Lord Jesus Christ, the
man—Son of God. 

23.	Now Jesus, absolutely, fully identified and authenticated, stood
like Moses. This boy should have known that. The priests knew it. Sure
they knew it. But they couldn’t receive it at that time under those
conditions, because, though they knew Messiah was coming, they
misunderstood how He would come, and to what intent and purpose. And
they chose their own understanding above vindication. And here’s this
young man. And here it is right today. This without a doubt is Matthew
12. We’ve read It time and time and time and time again, and this is
another time we’re going to read It again. 

(15)	But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great
multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;

(16)	And charged them that they should not make him known:

(17)	That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet
(Isaiah), saying, 

(18)	Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul
is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he’ll shew
judgment to the Gentiles.

	Now, listen. They were forbidden to make Him known, because it would
have had a negative deleterious effect or something God didn’t want,
when it came to this portion of Scripture referring to the Gentiles!
This is part of the Seventh Seal! This is your great mystery that Bro.
Branham put under Matthew 4. And Matthew 4 is fine, because Matthew 4
says the same thing, but not like this says it in Matthew 12.

(13)	And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon
the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nehphthalim:

(14)	That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet,
saying…

	He was outside the bounds of Israel evidently! He was there! But,
don’t tell the Gentiles! Don’t let them know this is the One
that’s coming to them, too!

	“Oh,” they say, “Bro. Vayle, that happened when Paul brought
Him.” 

	That did not happen when Paul brought Him. See? Just part of it
happened when Paul brought Him.

24.	Watch what happens here when Paul doesn’t bring Him. [Matthew 12]

(18)	Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul
is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he’ll shew
judgment to the Gentiles. (Now, watch.)

(19)	He shall not strive, (but one sure did.) He shall not cry; (but he
sure did.) A man shall not hear his voice in the streets. (Read Jn
7:37-39; you’ll find different. But, watch the difference.)

(20)	A bruised reed shall he not break, (the) smoking flax (he will) not
quench, (Uh-uh, don’t destroy the oil and wine. Don’t destroy a
little bit of life, just let it keep burning, let it keep smudging, let
it keep going. Because He is going to breathe upon it. And the flame is
going to come back! And there’ll be no more ripples. There’s going
to be a Bride standing there! And He’s going to what?) …send forth
judgment unto victory (—to a Gentile Bride, not defeat).

	Now I’m preaching you the Bible. Pick up any treatise on Scripture;
go to the second hand store; search the libraries of the world! You
won’t find what I’m saying in there. Because this is under the
Seals. This is the end-time revelation, when He comes back in the form
of the Holy Spirit to bind up! He rejected Israel, but He’s making
sure we’re going in.

	Now you can scream ‘Hallelujah’ and ‘Amen’. I don’t have to
pull it out of you. I know you’re listening. And another thing: You
don’t need to say ‘amen’ to me, because I don’t know if you’re
getting what I’m saying. 

25.	Now he said, watch what he puts in here, the little interpolation.
[Paragraph 147]

[147]	There are the leaders, (You see?) that had such a hold on that
young man, “Well, we belong to this, and we belong to that.”

	“Look, you’re not going to let these lovely people down that
brought you to the Lord, are you? That put these churches up here and
did all of these things, and my, without them, where would you be? Now
you just can’t leave us.”

	Well, you’re looking at a renegade. I never did have much trouble
with leaving.

[147]	 What a fatal thing to reject the leadership of eternal Life!

	Now, let’s face it; eternal Life of itself outside of a person could
not be leadership. Right? Certainly that’s right. And outside of a
person who can give leadership according to the explicit, which always
must be in words, fully understood, perceived, to be acted upon, or to
be cherished and understood as doctrine, how could you possibly have it?
So therefore, if we are going to be under the leadership of eternal
Life, which God alone having eternal Life, then He must speak the words
of eternal Life! And the words that He speaks are spirit and life. See?
It all comes together. All right. Let’s just stop here. 

26.	The word ‘person’, of course, comes from two words, which are
French and Latin. I don’t know whether the Latin came from the
French… I imagine the French came from the Latin; it’s person and
persona. Now, literally it means ‘a facemask used by actors, and hence
a character, a person’. So, what we’re looking at here… And Bro.
Branham talks about a person, and Bro. Branham was the one that
originated the term ‘role’! And a role always has a character,
something to bring forth something in such a way that you can perceive.

	So, all right. This word ‘person’ means, actually, ‘character’,
and a role is involved. It also means ‘a human being, especially as
distinguished from all lower forms of life’. And the word ‘person’
goes on to the word ‘impersonate’. You’ll find that in your
dictionary. It just goes on to it. It means ‘to represent in the form
of a person’, ‘to personify’, ‘embody as he impersonates the
spirit of the people’, ‘to act the part of’, ‘take the character
of’.

	Well, let’s just talk about this then, and go back two thousand years
at the time of the Lord Jesus Christ, when He was upon earth here, the
Father indwelling the Son. “This is my beloved Son, and I, the Father,
am pleased to dwell in him.” Now, neither the Father nor the Son were
impersonating each other, or someone or something else, as to their
individuality and separateness. In other words the Father was the
Father, and the Son was the Son. We’re talking of individuals.

27.	Now, let’s go to the point where one is revealing the other. The
Son is now revealing the Father insofar as the works manifested
completely prove that the works are of God, because man cannot do them.
And the works prove that the words have to be of God, because the works
are only there to prove that it’s the Word of God. So, now we have the
Son in his own person, playing the role of God the Father to the people.
And the Father is definitely in him in His Own complete personality and
substance and everything else, in His Own Godhood, Almighty God, before
there was one atom, one speck of stardust, one breath of wind, one
nothing. This One has come on down in His plans right to the place where
He’s indwelling this Son. You see?

	Now, absolutely, the Father indwelt the Son, and yet they had a
separateness, and though the two roles were there simultaneously, as
were the two persons, they still were not one like my finger’s one.
There is a oneness that you and I can apprehend by Scripture, which
simply says, “He that is joined to the Lord is one spirit.” One
spirit being.

	Now, you look at me, you certainly can’t see God, except I declare to
you I’m full of the Holy Ghost and can prove it by believing the Word
of the hour. And, if you don’t believe as I believe, you can say,
“Well, then you’re not full of the Holy Ghost. I’m full of the
Holy Ghost.” 

	Then we both got to wait and find out who’s got the Holy Ghost. No
problem. That’s why the foundation of God standeth sure having this
seal, the Lord knoweth them which are His. Not I’m this clique, and
I’m that clique, I follow this guy, I follow Lee Vayle… You follow
Lee Vayle, you’re in trouble. 

28.	Now the Son was the physical body and manifested himself, but the
Father also manifested Himself through the Son. 

	You say, “Hey just a minute now. We’ve got this… This is really
bad. We’ve got dual personalities here.” 

	Don’t you know the Father actually spoke through the mouth of Jesus?
True. 

	“Thy words were altogether in my tongue. You moved my tongue, and I
heard myself talk.” 

	Oh, you talk about a paradox. How many heard that tape, where that
strange kind of voice speaks through Bro. Branham on the tape, and says,
“This is not Bro. Branham speaking. This is the Lord Jesus Christ.”
How many heard that? Let’s get that tape and play it. Find the place
and play it, so everybody hears it. [The following is that portion from
59-0410  “Looking at the Unseen”_ LOS ANGELES CA _FRIDAY_E-60:]

“Praise Him with all your heart, get up out of your chairs,
everywhere. Be well and healed in the Name of Jesus Christ. God bless
you, brother; step out of there and go on home. Make you well.

While you're standing on your feet and praising God, how many wants--you
that raised your hands awhile ago, believes that God will hear my prayer
for your salvation of your soul? Come walking down here now as we sing,
"I will praise Him, I will praise Him." Come on, walk right down the
aisles here now, right down to receive Jesus. Keep your hands up; keep
looking at the unseen, that little pulsation in your heart. Come moving
right on down.

Is He pulsating to you?”

“I'm the Lord that raised up Christ from the grave.

I'm the One that sent the Holy Ghost.

I'm the One that give the promise.

Brother Branham has nothing to do in this...I have.

He's surrendered his life to me.

I'm talking through his lips.

That's me; I'm the Lord.”

“Come down.

Everyone now while we sing, come right on down.

I will praise Him, I will praise Him,

Praise the Lamb for sinners slain; (Come right on. Come on, all.)

Give Him glory all ye people...”

       “Oh, horrors, horrors. Oh, that proves, Bro. Branham,
you’re of the devil, when you said that, because God doesn’t do
things like that!” 

	Who said? Who said? Some deceiving organization? God doesn’t have
much use for big mouths. He gave us brains, and He gave us a mouth. But
there’s two things I know that God hates about mouth and brains.
Number one: the mouth that goes into gear without the brain being in
gear, and two, the brain being in a wrong gear, puts the mouth in gear.
I don’t know which is worse. 

29.	I told you I was going to read John 14. So, I’m going to read John
14. And in John 14, It categorically says:

(11)	Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else
believe me for the very works’ sake. (See? Now he said:)

(12)	Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works
that I do… 

	There’s some special person going to believe, and he’ll do the very
same works that Jesus is doing by God Himself! And they’ll be greater
than what came forth at that particular ministry!

	Now I know right there someone would say, “Just a minute. John said,
‘All the libraries in the world could not contain the books of the
things Jesus did,’ so don’t let anybody tell me anything about
William Branham having greater works. The whole church in all the ages,
and all that sort of stuff, that’s what it is.”

	Well, that isn’t what it is, because It says, ‘he’. It didn’t
say ‘it’ or ‘she’, as it would in the church. It says ‘he’
(singular pronoun, male).

30.	Now Jesus always pointed everyone to God, Who was his Father, yet he
could not and did not neglect to point out his own role! Right? Right.
That’s paragraph 148.

[148]	Now, that Life is present tonight. That’s right. (That same Life
that was back there in the Lord Jesus Christ. Now,) The Holy Spirit is
here, which is Christ in Spirit form; His Spirit, is here now.

	So, again we have a duality. We have a prophet in whom this Spirit is,
which is Almighty God, giving him the works, which everybody knows has
to be of God, vindicating the man is of God, pointing to the words,
which that people have to have to get them ready! Or they’re not going
to get out of here, because they’re just like John the Baptist’s
groups. So, all right.

31.	Bro. Branham spoke of roles, and there are two roles in this person.
But you will notice the role of the Son in death, and the shedding of
His Blood could not take place, until God left him. Now, remember; Jesus
had his own role. The Son learned obedience by the things that he
suffered. The Son was born; he was circumcised; he grew in grace and in
knowledge of the grace of God; he grew in the stature and favor with God
and man. That’s what he did.

	All right. The same one, at the wedding of Canna, listened to his
mother. Now he didn’t have to listen. He was permitted to listen.

	“They’ve got a problem.”

	He said, “I don’t need you to tell me about the problem. What do I
have to do with you?”

	So, now we’ve got Mary telling Jesus, “Why don’t you do something
for these people?”

	Well, that’s great. Even the Catholic version of the wedding of Canna
is twisted. They have Jesus literally obeying Mary. So now, after all
hundreds of years of tradition, they got it figured out.

	“We’ll just talk to Mary, and Mary will talk to him.”

	So, they start talking to Mary, and they get a female devil answering
back: No problem; only the thing is, it’s a male devil. Actually
they’re sexless. Or they’re like Satan, who’s a male. So, where
are they today? All right. Go on.

32.	The person the ruler rejected, as seen in John 14, and made manifest
by himself, God proved who it was. Today the person, as seen in Matthew
12 and Ephesians 1, 1 Th 4:16, 2 Th 1:7-10, which is all Rev 10:1-7,
God, His Own Prophet, with the man of His choosing, also called a
prophet… And William Branham had his role, and God had His role, and
they’re absolutely individual and separate, and yet One met within the
other. 

	Now, notice in number one, person, it is the Father in the Son, as in
Hebrews 1. And It tells you God in Son. Number two: it is the Holy
Spirit, Jehovah-Elohim in and through the prophet. And though the work
in John 14, and Matthew 12 are identical, and by the Father, we now have
ourselves confronted with Jn 14:10-11, the Father in that Son back
there, doing the works, saying the words. Now we find 14:12, the very
works he’s doing, identical to 11, “The Father in me doing the works
and doing the speaking,” the Word, or, as Bro. Branham says, Christ
the Word, or, as Jesus would phrase it today, and since he is not here,
(Now we’re talking about the one on the throne.) Bro. Branham phrases
it ‘Messiah of the Word’, or ‘described in the Word’, or ‘the
Word Messiah’, the ‘One fulfilling the Word’. If the Word is being
fulfilled (And it is.) then it has to be God Almighty doing It. And you
can call It Christ, because that’s the anointing; Messiah is doing It.

33.	Now there is no way that you can prove that works being done have to
distinctly be in this mold, unless there’s a Word for it, and that
Word is Deuteronomy 18, in contradistinction to Deuteronomy 13, and
embellished in Matthew 24, based upon Matthew 7, and right on down the
line, as found in the Book of Acts 2, where Peter is talking about the
end time, just before the Great Tribulation, when anybody and everybody
can be anointed a thousand times a day by the Holy Ghost, thinking
they’ve got the baptism, speaking in tongues, raising the dead and
everything else, and yet they are of the devil: false anointed, just
like Judas. And this brings us right to the antichrist, which is in 2
Thessalonians 2. 

	Now you see, I could stand here and preach a whole sermon just on
those. Put it together yourselves. You’ve been hearing me preach for
ten solid years. If you don’t know those Scriptures today, I bet your
kids can tell you. I bet I got twins sitting here that can tell you.
Huh? These girls, they’re sharp. Even Johanna will tell me. See, kids
listen. They’re sponges. And, you know, that’s the best sponge in
the world we have right in our people today. And you know the time comes
when the Squeeze come on, they’re going to just bring forth pure Word
and pure honey and get in that Rapture, bless God—take off with the
Holy Spirit.

34.	Now, if it is proven to be the Word, then it has to be the Spirit of
Christ! It’s got to be the anointing, got to be of God. For, how do
you get it otherwise? There isn’t any way to get it! Of course, people
don’t believe that. 

	Therefore, as Bro. Branham says, the Word, or the Christ, Who is the
doctrine, the truth of the God of the truth, (And God is the truth.) is
here. That Word, in other words the embodiment, that Word now in a human
body, brought forth through God Himself, (And we have a prophet.)
that’s the Leader that Bro. Branham was referring to. “Look,” he
said, “the manifestation proves it’s of God, period.” Now,
speaking in tongues and prophesying, that’s of God, too. No problem.
Those things are of God. They can be gifts entirely out of order. But,
when you’re talking of what is truly God, you’re talking of “THUS
SAITH THE LORD” and what follows premised upon that. Then, that which
comes forth is the Word of Almighty God. And these people did not have
it. 

	So, all right. Now, to receive… First of all, that Word is the Leader
to us, because our Leader is here making it live. The living Word of God
is being made to live by God Himself. And that’s proven all the way by
Scripture, and you cannot gainsay it, except to your destruction. Now,
to receive that proves you are seed, s-e-e-d, and now can be filled to
the full measure of the Holy Spirit. Contrary is antichrist and the seed
of the antichrist.

35.	Now, let’s just look at something here. Bro. Branham is talking
here in paragraph 146, and he said: 

[146]	You’ve got to accept the Person Christ; you’ve got to accept
that which is eternal Life. 

	Now you must accept that Person, eternal Life. We see, then, from what
Bro. Branham was teaching (And I’ve gone over it already.) that what
has gone through these ages, we have seen as a progression and that,
finally, Bro. Branham has been the last messenger, the prophet, Rev
10:7. There is a progression to accepting that person. Justification
gave way to sanctification, sanctification to baptism, and gifts to the
Holy Spirit Himself. 

36.	Now, let’s go to Hebrews 12, because that’s the chapter of the
New Jerusalem. But I’m not going to use that particular portion. Now:

(1)	Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud
of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so
easily beset us, (which is unbelief,) let us run with patience the race
that is set before us, 

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; (Now, remember;
Jesus is Jehovah-Savior. He’s also this one that came in his
Father’s Name.) who for the joy that was set before him endured the
cross, despising the shame, and is (now) set down at the right hand of
God.

	Now, look at it. You’re looking at the fact that Jesus, this one that
is the complete embodiment of what Bro. Branham said, “Eve should have
borne this Seed!”… And he would have gone through all the testings
and all the trials that set before mankind, and he’d have come forth a
hundred percent victorious, as he came forth in this particular
Scripture that is set forth here. Now she didn’t have that seed; she
gave way. And you know as well as I do that seed must bring forth what
lies within it. And, what lay within the promise of eternal Life, and
completely governing the world for Almighty God, was only performed in
Jesus the Christ. And he doing it brings us into that relationship, his
relationship of him being Seed, so that we also share in that glory, we
also being seed! Now I hope you understand, because that’s what Bro.
Branham brought out in “Spoken Word Is the Original Seed”. You
can’t get away from it.

37.	Now he’s the author and the finisher of our faith. The word
‘author’ of course, means ‘leader’. Now, let’s look at this
thing. We’re at the end time. How can this one be our Leader? The way
he was the Leader back there! God did it! There’s never been a change.
You can talk about Jesus suffering; that’s true. He suffered. You can
talk about him overcoming temptation. That’s also true. He did it! And
you can understand his human body was just as tempted physically,
sexually, in every other way as anybody else’s! If there’d have been
ice cream in his day, and he shouldn’t have had ice cream, he’d no
doubt would have wanted to lick a tub full of it. He didn’t bend to
it. You’re looking at a man possessed by God. You’re looking at a
person here, who is the true leader and originator, taking us on to
perfection. Now he lived the life, which was perfect and blameless; he
shed His Blood, which perfects the Bride. We’re looking to him, and
we’re seeing everything that God did through him and in him and by
him. And it’s ours.

	Now, let’s get the picture. He is that perfector. In other words, he
sits there as intercessor. God at this time can come down and gave us
the same status that He gave Jesus, but in him there’s no sin. He says
to the Bride, (Now, listen.) “In you there is no sin. You’re the
perfect, righteous Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ. You didn’t even do
it.” 

38.	Now, where is he? On the throne. See, you’re looking today at our
elder brother. We’re looking at him in every aspect of God in life,
that’s the family of God, and we’re seeing here that he is the
Author and the Finisher. And, notice what It says: He sat down at the
right hand of God. That’s been changed. He’s on the throne of God
waiting for us! That’s why Bro. Branham said, “When He died, I was
there paying for my sins on Calvary. When He rose, I rose with Him.”
And the truth is, when He climbed on his Father’s throne, then we had
to climb on with him! Do you understand? I’m not talking of you in
your mixed up body, soul, and spirit. I’m talking of you! You! of whom
Bro. Branham says, “My eyes, my nose, my ears, who’s me?” Your
ears, your nose, your eyes, your hair, your this, who’s you? You! were
in your Father’s loins! You! were a gene of God, a part of God!
We’re talking about you. 

	And, when God said, “I’ve begotten all my generations in you, the
author and finisher of the faith,” we can see every single thing bound
up in him, and that’s where it is. And he’s the perfect revealer and
manifestor of Almighty God in flesh, the entire price has been paid.
We’re now in the clear. And, as I say, if we rose with him, a part of
him, in heavenly places with him, the full identification goes to the
throne! How can he miss what he was foreknown, elected, and
predestinated for? How can we miss what we were in like manner
foreknown, elected, predestinated. And, even as the Scripture said
concerning this rough journey on earth, “As in Adam all die, in
identical manner everyone will come alive in Christ in their own
order.” 

39.	Now you talk about predestination, and they turned down
predestination. And, remember; Bro. Branham started with predestination!
So, are they going to look to that Leader? No! Why? They’ve got their
own leader! They’ve got their own god! And they got him out of here
with the twist! With the ripple effect of the breeze blowing and the
cunning interlopers; they’ve sat with us, and they’ll continue! Who
knows who’s who? 

	Now, that life is present tonight? No! It’s present this morning! At
12:25 on the dot, according to that clock. The Holy Spirit is here. Bro.
Branham said He was: the Pillar of Fire to lead us to the Millennium.
But, before then, there must be that Word. As there was a Word that
fitted Israel to go into the promise land, we also have to have that
Word fitting us to go into the Promised Land. Now there’s your perfect
type and your perfect everything. All right.

40.	Well, another thought here, besides eternal life, is immortality,
which actually the word ‘Zoe’ has to do with all life. There’s
going to be a perfect restoration and glorification for every single
thing that God has done for us, starting with us, because that’s where
the bad thing came; that’s where the good thing’s got to start. So,
here we’re looking at it. And we’re soon going into immortality and
into the Rapture with those who are resurrected.

	Now, that’s as far as we’re going to go because our time’s run
out. We’re into a position now where we can move on, and go with the
next page, which we’ve been a long time. But, you see, when you cover
certain portions which are so tremendously important to keep looking at,
and viewing, and bringing it to our attention, until it begins to glow
and becomes real within us, and we understand, becoming life to us, the
food in due season… This is the last message Bro. Branham preached,
and who knows, what we preach today and other days, may go into the
hands of somebody who could benefit thereby.

	Well, the Lord bless you. 

	Let’s rise and be dismissed.

	Heavenly Father, again we thank You for the time You gave us together,
of looking at Your Word and further examining It to the extent we
believe that by the influence of Your Own Spirit, our lives are being
changed, because our minds are having ripped away from them the layers
and layers of unbelief of creeds, and dogmas, and tenets, and things of
men, which are not only not edifying, but they’re absolutely
detrimental and life defying, leading to fatality, as Bro. Branham said,

	And so, Father, we pray that, as we look to You, Elohim-Jehovah, in our
midst today, the great Rhema-Logos God, we are happy to know that
You’ve brought Yourself down to our level again, whereby we may be
raised to Your level, Your level which You have desired for us within
Yourself. And we appreciate that, knowing we’re going from grace to
grace and light to light, until it’s a fullness of light, walking in
the light as John said. Lord, let it be the Blood cleansing this
morning—every one of us—and the stripes of Jesus healing us, God
Himself showing us the peace that You have toward us, and we toward You,
and the joy and the power of the Resurrection in our midst, as Bro.
Branham said, “We are Easter.”

	Unto Thee we give the honor and the glory and great praise, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.
