Rising of the Sun #5

Growing to the Fullness of the Resurrection

5/6/1984

	Shall we pray. Heavenly Father, we are very grateful to know You are
here in a way You have not been previously, especially with respect to
manifestation and bringing out that role that now lies within You, that
particular segment which we are going into, which is all the more
revealing of Thyself and Yourself greatly in preeminence and greatly
magnified, Lord. We do ask You to give us in the study of Your Word, may
everything come to that end that You have the preeminence and You have
the glory, the honor, and the worship. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen. 

	You may be seated.

1.	We’re, I believe, at number 5 now in the message of “The Rising
of the Sun”, and we are well aware that this is an Easter message, and
it is about the Resurrection of Jesus. That’s where it started back
there. But, of course, we’re moving up to this hour, and whereas the
Easter rising of Jesus was responsible for Pentecost, which was the
outpouring of the Holy Ghost, and it was there that the mechanics and
dynamics came together…and I’ll just get that on page 30; just read
it to you for a second in there. Page 30 and it said:

[30-4]	But all of a sudden the Dynamics came… Where before the
Dynamics came, they were just mechanics.

	Now, as I was saying that the Resurrection and manifestation at that
time brought forth the waving of the Holy Spirit in the form of the
Pillar of Fire bringing forth a firstfruit, looking down the road to it,
of course, even as He was that great firstfruit, so in this hour there
is another waving of the same Holy Spirit in the Pillar of Fire has come
down and waved Himself over the people and now we are looking for the
complete deliverance and redemption that has been promised to us. 

2.	Now, before we proceed any further, just want to try to get our
thinking lined up as relative to the great Giver of gifts and what lies
in those gifts experientially and what lies in the Giver Himself. Now,
here is what I see a very tragic concept in this hour. People have so
aggrandized, and perhaps rightly so, the baptism with the Holy Ghost,
that they have perhaps not intentionally, but unintentionally, so that
it leaves only a true Bride who will only intentionally give greater
glory to the Baptizer than the baptism. See, this is what we’re
looking at. We are looking at the very presence of God.

	Now, Abraham had a covenant, which was in the flesh, which is what we
compare to the baptism. And that’s fine. But the covenant – even
though let us say it represents, and we might even say was the baptism
– that did not quicken either Sarah or Abraham. It took the special
visitation of God, but remember; that special visitation of the special
quickening to that end was only upon two special people who had a first
special quickening. So, if you’re not specially quickened by the Holy
Ghost, you’ll miss this. Now, if you’re having trouble, listen.
There’s one thing: You haven’t stood this long for nothing; bow your
heart before God and ask the Holy Spirit to come in and believe that He
will come in, because there’s got to be something wrong. Do you follow
what I’m saying?

3.	Now, let’s look. We haven’t read COD pages 19-22 for nothing all
this time. And he says: [Bro. Vayle begins reading from Questions and
Answers COD 64-0823]

	“Now, we say this with reverence,”… I don’t know. Have I got it
with me? I brought my piano like all musicians, I hope. Yes, I brought
my piano. Aha! Let me read it for you.

And we say this with reverence and love and respect. See? As Jesus
Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever, and also that in the last
days, as it was before Lot’s, or in Lot’s time in Sodom, so shall it
be in the day that the Son of man reveals Himself again, revealing
Himself. Now, in this last day the Logos that was upon Jesus—which He
has become from that back to the Pillar of Fire again and has descended
down to the earth…

	Now, He’s here. Now, what is He here for? He is here, of course, as
Bro. Branham said, in order to raise the dead. All right, now.

	The waving of Himself over the people is to a tremendous end. And we
should never ever get our wires crossed but begin to put the preeminence
where preeminence is. Preeminence is not upon the baptism; it’s upon
the Baptizer because without the Baptizer, you can’t have baptism. The
same if God didn’t make a hen, you couldn’t get eggs. It doesn’t
say one thing about God creating eggs. But God created a hen.

4.	All right. The baptism comes forth from the Baptizer. So everybody…
See, it’s logical, then, to understand we should be looking for the
Baptizer, having been sealed in by the Baptism. Why do you think today
that people are running around trying to find their parents? Kids are
adopted by the millions and there’s a spirit upon those kids, “I got
to find out. I got to find out. I got to find them. I got to find
out.” It’s a type in the world. Bro. Branham said the mule doesn’t
know his mammy and his pappy because he’s a cotton-pickin’ mule. But
the horse is a thoroughbred; he’s got his genealogy, and it’s very
strange, there’s only one animal that is a thoroughbred, that’s a
horse. Everything else is purebred. That’s right. I think I know my
biology—zoology. Hey, ain’t that right, Gregg [Sleutz]? Yeah, it’s
the only one. Look it up in your books, or else I was taught wrong,
which I could’ve been, but not when the prophet gives me my thoughts
on that one. All right. 

5.	Now, we’re going to go to page 19 and read in paragraph 4 [also Rom
8:11]

[19-4]	Now if the Spirit of Him…that raised up Jesus from the dead
dwell in you (Now, watch.) If the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus
from the dead dwell in you… 

	That ‘Him’ has an obligation to you. Now, see? Not the Spirit of
Him. You understand what I’m saying? Look, it’s as simple as A-B-C.
I don’t know if we get something any clearer on the board; I don’t
think it can become any clearer than what I’m talking about already
but… All right. Here is God. [Bro. Vayle apparently begins drawing on
the board.] Okay, now He’s Spirit. And Bro. Branham said now, down
through the Bible here we showed you, the Spirit coming down here,
Spirit revealed Word. Okay. Down here, here’s you. Okay. What
happened? God having set forth a Word brings the Spirit down now and you
receive this. Now, what you receive is the Spirit of God, a modicum, but
you don’t receive God per-se; only Jesus did. Now, ‘this’ binds
you into ‘this’. 

	Then, what should I be looking for in everything? If God is consistent,
what should I be looking for? I should be looking for somehow, to come
in direct contact with Him Who gave. That’s the Headship. And you
can’t get people to understand that any more than nothing. They sang
Dr. Simpson’s wonderful song that we put in the Church Age book. Once
it was the Giver, once it was the gift, now it’s the Giver. So,
we’re trying to bring you to the place of understanding what he says
here.

6.	Now, if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells
in you, that modicum, He, that same Spirit, is going to raise you. So,
and that’s to the physical. Then, what is everybody on the other side
waiting for? That Spirit to get them out. Now the Old Testament saints
are already risen. Oh my, the predestined one of course, like seed lay
on the earth.

	So, we go back now to page 15, paragraph 1-3:

[15-1]	The first One... Although He had—He’d been typed in many
times, as we’ll see later…He was typed, (Let’s go to Leviticus
there, bypassing Exodus.) but this is really the Firstfruit of them that
slept. He was waved over the promised seed that had promise of Life…

	That’s the baptism with the Holy Ghost. Now, in type he’s got to be
waved over you to get you out of the ground and change you. That’s why
common sense should’ve taught us, we should have been looking for the
return of Jesus Christ in the form of the Holy Ghost. Not Pentecost! Not
Pentecost! It’s the harvest time. Get a woman impregnated—fap! All
you know is the act. You can’t see the sperm, and you can’t see the
egg. But you try not to see the results nine months later. And you’ll
never turn the baby back to an egg and a sperm again. God in continuity
and nature and people can’t even figure that. How is the church going
to get delivered except by the One that started it?

	See, they should’ve been looking for it. Bro. Branham said it so
truly: Justification gives way to Sanctification; Sanctification gives
way to Baptism; baptism to the Holy Ghost Himself. You see? It’s so
simple.

7.	[15-1]	He was waved over the promised seed that had the promise of
Life…

	Ha! It doesn’t do anybody any good except the Bride can be waved over
back here. Look; let me tell you something. Well…pretty hard to say
certain things because you tip your hand. But just try to keep away from
personalities, we talk about him with burning eyes. That’s supposed to
be Jesus anyway, not William Branham or anybody else. He’s coming back
with eyes that are on fire. On this hand, He’s coming back with great
eyes of love and tenderness. 

8.	Now, what I’m trying to show you is this: People get all carried
away with manifestations and even the dramatic roles and everything that
God is playing, not realizing that God is behind it. So, when you talk
about Prince of Peace, you talk about Judge, you talk about this, you
talk about that, (And I do.) we’re prone to let it be trapped from the
sheer, you know, monolithic, tremendous God. 

	And I’m using those words the best I can unless you understand, when
you’re dealing with God just deal with God. Let your mind go until you
can go back to the beginning where there was simply God, and all that
has been within Him that He has revealed over 6,000 years in the plan of
redemption. That’s great; that’s fine. We’re happy for it. So,
I’m trying to get you to see a picture, which is a little unclear to
me because it’s too hard to put these things in words. One may see Him
with blazing eyes; one may see Him with calm eyes, but it’s God. Now,
that’s the One we’re trying to get to and you can’t do it. He came
to us.

9.	Now, listen. The thing is, when you know the roles and why He came,
then you’re reconciled. It’s all over. You’ve come to unity
because that’s exactly the way Abraham was: He staggered not at the
promises of God through unbelief, but was strong in faith giving glory
to God. And It said he considered not, thoroughly perceived, his own
body. ‘Thoroughly perceived’ - that means to consider, to analyze
it, to synthesize, and this and that. He didn’t pay any more attention
to his body or Sarah’s than nothing. But he gave glory to God. Why?
Because in the presence of God, he believed God. And his belief of God
was One Who quickens the dead and calleth those things which are not as
though they were. That’s why it’s hard for people to see Romans 8:
We’re already glorified. Why? Because this is the hour, and God
can’t fail. All right.

10.	[15-1]	He waved over us…

	In other words, manifested and proven He is risen as the same
yesterday, today and forever. And what was the yesterday? Don’t take
it back to Pentecost. Take it back to Abraham and Sodom and Gomorrah.
The promise given is going to produce the Son in flesh. He’s going to
be here upon earth with you (See?) through a Bride—through a Bride
Tree. See, the Bride comes from the Groom, and now the Bride brings the
Groom back—using the term loosely; trying to get the picture. That was
the alpha of this omega, making Him the same yesterday, today and
forever. See?

	Now, you had an error started at Pentecost when he was waved, starting
it. Now, you’ve got it waved when He’s finishing it. And when He
finishes it, you’ve got to go back to the Gentiles—Sodom, Gomorrah,
when a whole nation was homosexual. Anne Landers and her crap, quoting
her cruddy authorities of 2 to 4 percent or maybe 10 percent homos and
the homos laugh at her and say, “Come out of your closet, Anne.
We’re all over the country.” 

	And they are the ones who have rightly said that the third sex will be
the number one sex—the unisex. Insects! Crawl back in the woodwork! 

	Don’t get your lines tangled up in days like this. Put your types and
everything where they belong. Get to see where the waving was and what
the waving’s all about. See. He’s not preaching Easter two thousand
years ago. He’s preaching Easter now.

11.	Let’s get another picture while we’re at it. In 1964 in March
the Sixth Seal broke, right? Twenty years later in 1984, the Pope’s in
the same place. There’s that funny twenty again: half an hour of
silence. Maybe its not 21; maybe it’s twenty. I don’t know. But 1984
is a very strong year, and don’t you fool around with ‘84, my
brother/sister. I’m going to tell you, things are quickening. I told
you that, if you’re less honest than me, you’re a crook. I’ve
never been more honest in my life than in this hour—or more truthful. 

	You stick with this Word; this Word will take care of you. Let me tell
you something, brother/sister: get this and get it flat this morning.
The Word made it and the Word teached it! Then stick with the Word!
I’ve got divvies on Rockefeller’s credit card. I’m not going to
pick up one of yours. Phooey! Ain’t none of you can touch a
Rockefeller all together. Give me Rockefeller’s credit card. Then give
me God’s. His credit card is the Word. 

	You say, “Credit card?” 

	Yes, because the word credit means honest, credible – have you heard
the word ‘credible’, ‘confrontation’, coliferation, all those
words? They’re right in the Bible.

12.	You read where Bro. Branham said Russia has found her place. Russia
has found her place. Oh, we hate Russia because we’re sure that Russia
hates us. But you… Why does everybody go to Russia and say, “Oh,
there’s not the crime there. Oh sure there’s a lot of booze, but
there’s not the drugs, there’s not this, there’s not that.” And
they say they want peace and the people do want peace. Then, why do they
want to take a crack at us? Because they’re scared stiff of us,
that’s why, because they know our record, and their record’s not
good either. And they’re going to kill the Whore; they’ve got to
kill her. There’s no way they will not burn her, brother/sister,
because it was the Whore that brought Russia where she was, under the
czars, the Roman Catholics, which was Eastern Orthodox. Remember; Rome
had two legs—Eastern and Western divisions. Sure. Okay.

13.	[15-1]	He was waved at the day of Pentecost, when there came a sound
from heaven like a waving, mighty, rushing wind, and was waved over the
people, the Pentecostal people that was up at Pentecost waiting for the
blessing to come; …to be waved again, we realize, in the last day,
according to Luke 17:30…, not to re-baptize, but to seal in and take
away.

	This is the true baptism, the true Baptizer. This is the one where
there’s no phoney-baloney with it. In other words, what I’m trying
to get across to you is this: There is no false anointing with this one.
You can’t be part in the Word and part out. Forget it. Come on.

[15-1]	…in the days that the S-o-n of man will be revealed or waved
over the people again. (Same Pillar of Fire.) 

[15-2]	Now, Who is this Son of man? “In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made
flesh, and dwelt among us.” 

	He’s telling you. The same God that appeared in flesh is appearing
here in a Pillar of Fire. But not to start a church, but to end a
church: headship to headship.

14.	[15-2]	Now, and of all the teaching that we have and confirmation of
the Word of God, by Word of God, by signs, by wonders, we see today
(…in the Book of Luke here, that as we just quoted from Luke the 17th
chapter and 30th verse, and Malachi 4, and the different Scriptures that
we are acquainted with,) that that Word again is waved over the
people…

	What Word!? God! Now, not the whole Word is this Book. Some has passed
away; some doesn’t belong to us. And he’s not talking about Word per
se; he is talking about Word as God in manifestation—Elohim, the
Almighty. And He hasn’t left one part of it on the throne either. And
he’s not spermatizing either. He’s right down here. See?

[15-2]	(Now.)…and that Word again is waved over the people, that the
dead traditions of man is dead and the Son of God is alive again with
the baptism of the Holy Spirit right among us and is giving us Life.

	All right. The same one at Pentecost is here now, not for Pentecost,
although He can be baptizing with the Holy Ghost and the last few coming
in and keeping... That’s all right, but He’s here for the specific
purpose of Genesis 18: Abraham.

15.	[15-3]	As Christ was the first one to raise from all the prophets
and so forth (although typed in many places, he was the firstfruits of
those that slept), in the Bride coming of Christ…

	Now, what’s He doing? He came down to take the Bride out of
organization. Another mighty Angel that came down, …cried with a loud
voice, “Come out of her my people,” is part of that Shout. And the
Angel is the manifestation of God, because that manifestation becomes a
Messenger to us. As it was with Moses, the Messenger was there in the
Flame of Fire. And he said, “There’s a Message there. Oh,” he
said, “What is the Message? Why doesn’t the bush burn? I’ll find
out what the Message is, why the bush doesn’t burn.” 

	It was a Message to Moses: “The bush is burning, and it’s not
consumed, Moses. Take a look.” 

	“Hey, that’s a Message to me. Ha ha, something is going on.” 

	So therefore, the Pillar of Fire that Bro. Branham…’something is
going on’, caught his attention. “What’s going on?” A Message!
And the great miracles came forth. A Message! What’s going on? The
rest of them missed it. Fap! They put it down to Acts 2:4, and it’s
not Acts 2:4. It’s not starting a church. They’re closing a church.
That’s the whole thing.

16.	[15-3]	…in the Bride coming of Christ, coming out of the church,
there’ll have to be a Sheaf waved again in the last days. Oh, my!

	People say, “Ah, Bro. Branham, poor old boy, he sure flipped his lid
on that one. What is ‘the Bride coming of Christ’? Whoever heard of
‘the Bride coming of Christ’, ‘waving a sheaf’ and telling you
what it means in Lk 17:30?” 

	Come and stand against him. Men died trying it. And they ran out like
whipped, little, puppy dogs when they confronted him on two great
occasions: one in Waterloo, Iowa and one in Chicago. Oh, we’re waiting
for that Resurrection morning, hallelujah. I’m waiting, bless God. I
can’t wait.

	You say, “Bro. Vayle, you’ve got a spirit of vengeance.”

	Well, you’ve got a spirit of hell as far as I’m concerned. Because
the word ‘vengeance’ means ‘vindication’ to begin with, and
you’ve got to be vindicated. Let me tell you: you get a kid that puts
his hand in the fire and say, “See, it burns you. Come on, want some
more?” But if the kid goes, “Okay”, he’s a nut. Yeah, I mean a
real nut. Something missing—brain’s gone. Something’s wrong. Do
what you want; I don’t give a rip. I’m not trying to preach tough or
be tough. Just get to the truth. I’m not fooling anymore.

	You see, I believe something gets a hold of you: gravity—the
gravitational Spirit of Almighty God. But it’s a pull up this time.
Quickening, quickening, pulling up, like something pulls up the water,
pulls up the seed. We’ll go into that when we get time. We ain’t
going to get time. Forget it. I just blew my vacation again, except I
just may go away and think it over. No, they can’t believe that. See.

17.	Now, watch. Who is that great Spirit? He is Mechanics and Dynamics.
In other words, Mechanics will be what the prophet saw: Pillar of Fire.
Mechanics will be what we saw in all the mighty manifestation. Then
comes another Mechanics, which leads to the Word, and the Word having
been proven to be living—same One now—is going to raise us from the
dead. These Mechanics and Dynamics…In the beginning was the Word, and
the Word was with God and the Word became flesh. What became flesh? That
mechanics. There He is again, Pillar of Fire. Back to the Pillar of
Fire. Now, what’s He doing? God is Spirit. So, what’s he going to
do? Prove Himself to the people, and when He proves Himself to the
people and the people understand the proof, I don’t care what He said
about this hour, it’s going to happen. And only the elect will know
it.

18.	Now, you’ve got to have both mechanics and dynamics to be the
Bride. You’ve got to have the Word; you’ve got to have the Holy
Spirit baptism, or you’ll never get this. And people turn around and
say, “Well, I believe I’m full of the Holy Ghost. I spoke in
tongues.”

	Ain’t full of nothing. They’re anointed, but no more got the Spirit
of God, the baptism with the Holy Ghost, than nothing. There’s no way.


	Well, they say, “Well, I can’t believe that.” 

	Well, why don’t you believe, then, the Bible? It said Caiaphas
prophesied, and he prophesied the death of Jesus. And unless Caiaphas
was later on born again, he was serpent seed just as sure as you and I
sitting here believing we’re the seed of God. History tries to tell us
Caiaphas was converted. I haven’t the least idea. I’ve got no
record. I’m not going to speak for them. You see, something’s wrong
somewhere…

	You say, “Well, look; that person’s just got to have…”

	Are you trying to tell God, when God says that person don’t got? 

19.	Look, I paid me a price, brother/sister, to spit in God’s face and
make Him a liar. You do what you want. I hope I’ve learned my lesson.
I’d ditch all of you. 

	You say, “Bro. Vayle…”

	Don’t ‘Bro. Vayle’ me. I’m the kind of pastor that can see you
through, because I point you right to Him. Don’t you look at me, or
I’ll cut your little, cotton-pickin’ throats and watch your blood as
it oozes out. You ain’t got no blood in you, if you believe in me.
Fap! Bunch of stones and turnips.

	His Word. Get your eyes on Him. I learned my lesson—I hope. I don’t
know. Made Him a liar and everything else for people. Uh-uh. No, I
don’t want to be that kind of person.

20.	You’ve got to have both to be Bride. First of all, you’ve got to
be seed that came out of the ground. There’s got to be some flesh for
God to work on—cuts you out of one lump. But if you’re the right
kind of seed, the Holy Spirit fell on you. And if the Holy Spirit fell
on you, then the Word of God comes to you. And because you got the Holy
Ghost, the Word is quickened, and you’re one of those who recognize.
You see, he said, “The horse recognizes his mammy and pappy, because
you see he’s got the genes in him.” The old mule goes, “Well, I
don’t know what kind of genes I got. [Bro. Vayle imitates a mule
braying, etc.] I told you about the jackass that’s going to be king of
the jungle, so he puts a lion’s robe on him. So, he opened his mouth
to roar; you know what came out. 

	Well, I’m so glad God made nature the way He made it. Nobody needs to
get fooled anymore; it’s wide open, brother/sister. The veil has been
plumb torn off the creeds and denominations and all that sort of jazz
and junk, you know. It’s all over. I hope you’re getting what I’m
saying. I talk too fast for your good and my good, but look; thoughts
just keeps pouring in. All right.

21.	We’ll go to page 28, paragraphs 2 and 3. We’re going to start
there.

[28-2]	Now, look! You who were once dead in sin and trespasses, and
darkness has He quickened.

	Now, notice that he’s using the very Scripture that Paul used:
alienated by the darkness of your minds. To come into Christ is to come
into Light, L–I–G–H–T, period! Man says he’s born again and he
hasn’t walked in the light—ha! You’re no more born again, knows
about the Blood than nothing. Sure it’s right! That’s the Bible. It
doesn’t matter what you and I think. What’s that got to do with it?
Ha! 

	That’s like you saying, “Bro. Vayle, I don’t think you ought to
eat that chicken.” 

	I’d say, “Shut your mouth. I paid for it. My wife fried it. I’m
eating that chicken. 

	You say, “Well, give me one reason.” 

	“Well, is it a poison…” [Bro. Vayle makes up a word.]

	“What do you know about that chicken?”

	Then don’t try to tell God. You can’t tell me, what chance do they
have to try to tell God? Ha! That’s the joke of the century. That’s
what I told those guys that come around and try to tell me. I said,
“Listen, I can’t even hear from God. I’m too stupid, too stubborn.
Why should I listen to you? Fap!” [Laughter] I haven’t found once
that God ever let me down or told me a lie.

	You know one thing. I’m going to tell you something. God’s got
eagles, not a bunch of crows.

22.	[28-2]	You who were once dead in sin and trespasses, and darkness
has He quickened. By what? His Spirit that raised up Jesus on Easter
morning from the dead. And if It dwells in your mortal bodies, (Now,
watch.) It also quickens, brings to Life, makes it subject to the Word.
(Now he’s talking about today and waived over the people today.) Now,
how can you claim to have that Spirit and throw yourself away from the
Word? You’re quickened by something else.

Come on, come on, come on, brother/sister. What was Eve quickened by to
bring forth Cain? Serpent’s sperm. Then cannot people be quickened by
the devil today? Yes! With the creeds and the dogmas and the hogwash.
And remember; since God is the source of all life, they can be one
hundred percent anointed to miracles and everything else and miss the
Word one hundred percent.

[28-2]	You’re quickened by something else. For It will quicken your
mortal bodies to the Word.

	Why the mortal bodies? Because you got a mind up here you can think
with, that contains a spirit. You got a choice, which pew do you sit in.

23.	[28-2]	For It will quicken your mortal bodies to the Word. Sure It
will! You can’t run without It. You’ll just sputter if you don’t
believe all of It. If you have part gasoline and part water (Yep.) you
ain’t going to go nowhere. See? You’ve got to take it one hundred
percent gasoline. If you don’t, you’re backfiring; you’ve got no
power.

	But they can raise the dead and heal the sick, preach like a house
afire, have thousands lining the altar. Oh, yeah. Live like they came
out of the pocket of God, they’re so sweet, so nice and everything
else. Pentecostal pussy cat, but just stroke the fur the wrong way and
watch where the sweetness goes. Plumb up the smokestack.

[28-3]	“But I’ll believe this, but I don’t believe that.”
Pump-pump-pump-pump. There you go. You ain’t going nowhere. But, oh,
when you take the fullness, let it light up on that! Every Word is
Truth.

	He’s telling you now, you cannot mix the Word of God with one word.
Maybe you don’t understand It. Maybe you don’t live It. Stand there
and admit it. See?

24.	[28-4]	But…notice now, it’s just like a little—a little seed
laying in the ground. Now, potentially you are resurrected. You’re
resurrected when you receive the Holy Spirit in you; you’re
resurrected right then. Your body’s potentially resurrected.

	On what grounds? The sealing of a promise to you. But the promised hour
isn’t yet. In other words, the One that put His Spirit in you is going
to get you out of the ground. Now, if everything goes right in the
present seed, when a woman is impregnated by a man, then naturally
she’s going to have a baby. Now, you don’t know just what that
baby’s going to be; a boy or girl or this and that, and you don’t
know what your body’s going to be, except you’ve got a promise
it’s going to be like His. But you don’t know what His body’s
like. 

	When Charlie Cox wondered about whether he could shoot some squirrels
in the Millennium because it’s so much fun doing it down here, Bro.
Branham said, “Now, look; if you changed a hog to a man”, he said,
“that would be so many million times better than a hog.” The poor
hog couldn’t take it. “Now,” he said, When you get a person in the
Millennium—Resurrection, he said, “It’s so many millions of times
greater than what you got now, why,” he said, “you can’t even
think of it.” Hahaha, try to make serpent seed out of that one! I’m
going to tell you: it ain’t going to happen.

25.	[28-5]	Look at a little seed plant in the ground. It has to drink
from His fountain, the waters that pours down. And as it drinks, it
pushes up toward Him, coming more like the likeness of the seed that
went into the ground. See? The church came that way.

	Now, he doesn’t tell about one single individual going through a
series through seven church ages. It’s the church that went through
it. Well, he said church; I’m not reading here what he didn’t say.
The church went into the ground.

[28-5]	The church come that way: through justification, sanctification,
baptism of the Holy Ghost, now in the blossom.

	There’s a full flower of it. Now, when he says blossom, don’t get
carried away: wheat doesn’t have a blossom; it does and it doesn’t.
The shuck and the wheat—you know. Spy with my little eye bit.  He’s
talking about a plant coming up. So, the blossom is the final stage. Of
course, it does go to seed, but this is what we’re looking at. We’re
looking at the beauty of the whole thing that we couldn’t see that you
can only see and understand when the flower is there. That is a rose.

26.	I was going through Texas one time—just going through. I was out
west, and I was going through with Jack Bell, and I spied a field and
said, “Hey, I see something,”—you know, spy with my little eye
bit. And I said, “Now, that thing out there, believe me the form of
that thing looks just like a thistle. Well, I missed my guess if those
flowers aren’t rose flowers— single rose.” And I said, “Jack, I
want to go and look at those flowers out there.”

	And sure enough, it was a thistle plant. Now, you see, if there
hadn’t been a flower there, I’d know it was a thistle plant right
off the bat. I looked at the flower, and it wasn’t a rose, it just
looked like a rose. This wasn’t a rose. You see, that’s the time
that you really can see what it really is, is when it comes to the place
where you don’t have to guess anymore because it could be something
other than what you think until it comes to the final stage. Well,
that’s what Bro. Branham was saying here. It’s come to the seed now.

27.	[29-0]	The Spirit of God come through that. (Now, he said…
Notice.) The Spirit of God come through that.

Now, let’s watch this.

[28-5]	Look at a little seed plant in the ground. It has to drink from
His fountain, the waters that pours down. And as it drinks, it pushes up
toward Him, coming more like the likeness of the seed that went into the
ground. See? The church came that way: through justification,
sanctification, baptism of the Holy Ghost, now in the blossom. See? The
Spirit of God come through that.

	Where did you ever hear language like that? See? Where did you ever
hear it? You don’t. Starts with head; goes back to head. Starts with
Pentecost; goes back. To what? Pillar of Fire. Pentecost was not the
blossom. Pentecost was the seed that first got watered. And the original
watering started pushing the church toward that: Pillar of Fire again! A
portion of every age and Word, until It’s returned to fullness.
Everything that came from the head, where everything was, is now in the
church. There’s only one thing left and that’s head. The Head comes
down: stature of a perfect man. We saw that.

28.	[29-0]	And the spirit of the world has come through the antichrist
the same way and now blossoming out in a great union of churches.

	Antichrist is doing the same thing. It’s in the blossom stage. The
Bride is gathered; the churches are gathered.

[29-0]	See? The whole thing... And the individual comes that way.

	What did he mean, ‘individual’? They come by the moving of the Holy
Spirit. They never had what it took in Luther’s time, nor in
Wesley’s time, or in Pentecost’s time, it’s only in this time. So
we come this way. We’re part of it. Don’t try to put yourself back
in Pentecost in Seven Church Ages. It ain’t going to work. Won’t
work. You’ve got to put what’s in this hour for now. Now, watch.

29.	[29-0]	Everything works on the same scale…

	What do you mean scale? God’s got one plan. Now there’s two
cosmoses, but there’s one plan. There’s two worlds. One is God’s
order; the other is Satan’s order. But God is even over Satan’s
order. And he’s putting ministers and everything else in there. So,
Satan can only run it as God lets him run it. Now, you see that’s
exactly what we’re looking at. The Church is exactly run—the
Bride—by God, and the world is exactly run by Satan as God lets him
run it. You got no two different ways. 

	But notice, he uses the word ‘scale’. Now a scale weighs
things—very good. But also the word ‘scale’ means ‘to ascend and
descend’. And so God’s scale goes up, and Satan’s scales go down.
They’re descending. The world system is going to end in an antichrist
man. Ours is going to end in the Wedding Supper, where God incarnates
Himself for His glory and for ours.

[29-0]	Now, everything works on the same scale of God, ‘cause He’s
the same yesterday, today, and forever.

	So therefore, as the Word produces Christ in flesh, there’ll be an
antichrist produced in flesh. 

30.	[29-1]	Notice. On your way growing to the fullness of the
resurrection, led by the Spirit.

	“Growing...” Oh, come on! That’s what they’ve been doing since
the day of Pentecost. I wasn’t back there. But I’m a part of that
growth. Now, if I can recognize the previous growth, which Bro. Branham
did in the church ages under the Seals, I’ll be placed in the present
growth. That’s Joshua. That’s Ephesus. 

	Now, listen. Don’t try too hard to get this. Just let your thinking
go like I let mine go. You’ve got to come to the place where your
thinking is no good to you. It doesn’t do you a bit of good. You just
got to let it go. Now I know I preach terribly hard, and I bear down on
you so bad that I make it rough on some of you. I don’t mean to,
because I don’t mean to be too rough on people. I’m rough on
principle, but then again maybe that’s not so good either.

31.	[29-1]	Now, on your way growing to the fullness of the resurrection,
led by the Spirit.

	Now, he said ‘fullness of the resurrection’. Why? Because we
potentially had it back from the day of Pentecost, my brother/sister.
And it’s coming more and more and more and more into view. Now we are
finally in the hour of it. See? And there’s a growth. Now, in our
understanding here, when he speaks of the word ‘growth’ you will
understand this: that the Resurrection is in process now as it was
through six previous church ages, but the six previous church ages did
not bring the Processor—only brought Him now: Judge, with vindication;
the Message gathering the people; the One Whose Voice said, “Come out
of her my people,” though He used the voice of a man, like It just
says here. This is the one that Bro. Branham… This was not all of what
was written. The whole thing should’ve been here when God spoke
through Bro. Branham. 

32.	[Bro. Vayle quotes from a short excerpt from “Looking at the
Unseen”, preached on April 10, 1959.

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 gave the promise. Bro. Branham
has nothing to do with this. I have surrendered his life to me.
(That’s what He said. God surrendered Bro. Branham’s own life to
Him.) I’m using his spirit. I’m talking through his lips. That’s
me. I’m the Lord.

	I guess that’s pretty well the contained…what goes before it and
after it is interesting, too, to a degree. God actually spoke through
this prophet here. All right. Now, that was the great Processor Himself
with the channel.

33.	[29-1] 	As the sun (s-u-n) pulls that little plant that’s drinking
from God’s fountain, just keeps... See? It can only drink from one
thing. You pour oil down on that little seed one time; kills it.
That’s right. …stagnated water, old water that ain’t no good,
that’s contaminated; it’ll stunt the growth; (Is that what he said
in Matthew, stunting the growth? Sure.) it won’t bear fruit. Is that
right? But you pour real good, soft rainwater (Amen!) (Now, what’s the
rain? The rain that cometh oft from heaven is the Word.) no manmade
chemicals (no creeds, no dogmas) in it, just let it come from the
heavens above, (Well, the Pillar of Fire came from heaven above. He is
the Word, and He’s going to talk to us—reduced Himself to speech as
it were.) and watch that little plant. There’s no water will grow that
like that rainwater. You put chlorine and stuff in it like you try to
dose it up with, and the first thing you know it kills the plant. (Sure
does. Kills the fish and everything else. Kills you, too.)

[29-2]	That’s what’s the matter today. They try to give them waters
from the denominational fountain, (Broken Cisterns – he preached that,
too.) and it stunts the growth. See? But let him have the......

 …Comes where the dew drops of mercy are bright;

Shine all around me by day and by night,

Jesus the Light of the world.

Then you’ve got it then!

We’ll walk in the Light, that beautiful Light,

Comes where the dew drops of mercy are bright,

Just shine all around me...

Take these manmade fountains away from me. “No other fount I know,
nothing but the Blood of Jesus.” 

	Why? Because that alone cleanses—the Bride is made perfect by… 
People say, “Well, just think, brother, I got the Holy Ghost.” Now,
hold it. If you weren’t perfect, the Holy Ghost wouldn’t have come
in. Got to be without blemish, without spot. Get your thinking right,
brother/sister. 

	You say, “Bro. Vayle, the thing is, you haven’t learned this new
math. You see, 2 comes before 1.” 

	That’s what Cain thought and went to hell for it. That’s where your
new math is from, too. I know sevens are there for one reason: because
God’s does everything in sevens. You can make things work, but they
found that the new math wasn’t as hot as they thought it was.
Something like the metric system: no use trying to pull it on me because
I’m not interested. So, don’t give me your manmade blood either.

34.	[29-2]	That’s all the fountain I want to know. Let the Word dwell
in me, Lord; water It by Thy Spirit.

	Now, that’s a different thing. Spirit waters it. Look; the seed was
there in the first place. The Blood cleanses; you’re made perfect
before God. Righteous. Justified. Knows nothing against you. Holy Ghost
comes in on those grounds. See? All right.

[29-3]	Notice. Now, if that Spirit that raised up Jesus from the grave
dwells in you, (Now, watch.) you potentially have Life…

	That’s why he said, You Lutherans potentially had the Holy Ghost.

	“Oh my, did the Lutherans not have the Holy Ghost.”

	Oh, come on. How could they be Bride and not be born again?

35.	You know, you say, “Bro. Vayle, why are you so rough when you
preach, and we can tell by your voice.” 

	Sure you can tell by my voice. Because, look; this is what’s still
going on, and they still stand there. They got their messed up theology,
but not from a prophet. 

	“Luther did not have the Holy Ghost…” 

	Hogwash! Wesley couldn’t hold a candle to him. I don’t care if he
made mistakes; everybody makes mistakes. You talk about a man that had
something: Luther. Read his books, and ou’ll find out what he had.
See?

36.	“…potentially…”He’s talking about Life Himself. You and I
have a modicum. We have the spark that’s going to get us there, on the
grounds that it is what He recognizes to bring up your bodies. You can
be full of the Holy Ghost brother/sister, two-thirds as much as Jesus
Christ, (And you know, I’m lying right there. There ain’t no way,
but I just want to exaggerate a point.) it would still take God to raise
you. That’s what I’m trying to get across. That’s the thing you
want to understand. You see?

	Now, watch.

[29-3]	…potentially you have Life, led by the Spirit to quicken the
Word to you to believe It. The little thing keeps pushing up as it grows
to that.

	I had a note here on my page, I guess, I don’t know what it was.
Doesn’t matter; can’t see it.

[30-1]	Notice. At Pentecost their bodies were quickened to a new Life. 

	Now, watch. He’s going back in a type to bring you today to how you
will be quickened in your hour to what you’re believing to. Now, the
majority of the same things, except one thing: this is finishing off.
There comes an hour when the reaper catches up with the sower. Now, if
the reaper catches up with the sower, who is the sower? The Son of man.
Who’s the reaper? The Son of man. Whew! Glory! We’re going to get
off this earth pretty soon. Ain’t going to hold me down here boy. Tell
you what: Ain’t no use trying to do it, because I made up my mind
I’m going. I don’t worry about Lee Vayle or anybody else. That’s
the craziest thing of any place I’ve been in my life. And you’ll
never explain the Seventh Seal, but I believe this is it.

37.	Pentecost said years ago, “Better felt than ‘telt’.”

	I ain’t going by my feelings at all. Phooey on feelings. Oh, I like
to feel good—certainly. Who doesn’t? I like to taste good, too, you
know, cheesecake with strawberries on top. I’m going to be like that
black boy. Two black boys got in a fight. One guy said something nasty.
He said, “Listen, buddy. I’m going to make you eat your words.” 

	“Oh, you going to make me eat my words.” he said. 

	“Yeah.”

	“Oh”, he said, “Good! Watermelon, fried chicken, bananas, cream
pie.” And he says, “Ice cream by the gallon. You’re going to give
me words to eat? Well, start doing it.” [Laughter]

	That’s what a brother thought. Real good talking about heaven. I’m
going there. Can’t wait. O Resurrection, glory to God. I can’t wait.
He said, “pest house? Who needs a pest house? I’m talking about a
real house,” he said. 

	Oh, yeah!

38.	[30-1]	Now, notice these people in their day. They were cowards.

	You know, there’s a lot of people bluffing. We ain’t bluffing. A
lot of people in this Message think I’m bluffing. I ain’t bluffing.
Never in my life have I been prepared to face the music as I’m
prepared now. And listen; I’m letting you know something. And don’t
think I’m bold and gracious or anything. I am a jerk standing up here
and a coward by myself, and I hate to face the music, normally, but I am
ready to face it if I have to. I don’t know; I don’t like the
thought, but I’m ready. That means, if I’ve got to die, I’ve got
to die; and if I’ve got to go to hell, I’ve got to go to hell.
I’ve got no assurance of hell; I’ve got a lot of heaven. I’ve got
no assurance of dying; I’ve got a lot of assurance of getting out of
here without dying, but I could die. 

	But you see these people…something happened. Now, he doesn’t talk
of any other age, though they had it, but not like the first age and the
last age, because the first and the last age are really one with the
interpolation of five others. That’s right, because he said another
Ephesus. Right? So, Lee Vayle was right years ago when he began
preaching that.

39.	See, once you get the Message, I don’t see where you make any
boners. It’s not like we’re trying to stand here in ourselves and
say, “Look, hey, God’s God.” You know what I mean. We’re looking
at God today, brother. We’re not looking at some crack like Dr. Howard
Carter, the great Pentecostal man from Great Britain years ago—very
wonderful person and artist. He would sit down to teach because he was
getting up in years a bit. He said, “Christ sat down to teach, so I
thought maybe I’ll do the same thing. I’m not trying to be like Him
but, you know,” he said, “if he did it, I think that’s a good
idea.” 

	So everybody got relaxed and it was beautiful. Then he told how it was
he went to one of these factories, you know, where they did hand pottery
work. And he said that he watched them put it on the wheel and how they
did this and how they did the figures on it by hand, and they did the
painting, and they baked it, and they did this, and they baked it, and
back and forth. And then, he said “He went one place to a factory,
and, they just…” why he said, “what they did, they took a thing
and they went whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.” He said, “Bible school and
denominations, that wasn’t God.” 

	Well, we’re at the end time. It’s not a whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
We’re dealing with the Master Craftsman. And then he told how that
when they beat… They used to beat the gold; you beat the brass it’ll
break. He said, “You beat the gold, it doesn’t break. You beat it
right down; you beat the flaws out.” 

	You know, like Bro. Branham talked about the Indians doing that:
beating the slag… What do you call that—the dross—and get the junk
out of that stuff there. And then he said, “In the last work,” he
said, “they took…” he said, “They have to have an artisan who
could do fine needlework.” And he said, “That’s that little
needlework that people give you, you know, when the end…if you’re a
real Christian,” you know, what do you call it? Acupuncture.” 

	My wife, she needles me; she’s an acupuncturist. It isn’t my wife;
it’s other people. [Laughter]

40.	All right. Notice in here, at the end time:

[30-3]	Now see. They were cowards.

	You say, “Well, just a minute Bro. Vayle. Does that mean that Jesus
from that point on said, ‘If they persecute you in this city, don’t
flee to the other.’”

	Naw. You run for your life. Peter didn’t say, “Well, angel of God
come open that prison. But you know they put me in here, I better wait
the morning. They can cut my head off.” I don’t hear Paul say,
“Listen you birds, I’m ready to die. Hallelujah! You kill me, but I
appeal to Rome.” 

	Fap! A lot of kooks in this world, kid. They don’t all live where
moss grows on them either. All over the world. Yeah.

41.	[30-3]	Quickened. Notice. But they had the mechanics. See? 

	What mechanics? They had a promise. They had a promise of the Holy
Spirit, and that promise was just as good in this sense: with life or
without life in the people because it was life in God and God can’t
fail, and the Word was already planted for that hour. So, there had to
be somebody to get It. All right.

[30-3]	…they were…standing…there, saying, “Oh, I’m afraid of
those people out there. I’m afraid to go out and make a claim,
‘cause, oh, all of them…bishops and things out there. Oh, I’m
afraid to. Those priests and things, I’m afraid to make the claim,
afraid I’d say I believed on Him. Oh, I just can’t do that.” You
see? 

[30-4]	But all of a sudden the Dynamics come. Yes. And what did It do? 

	It not only filled their spirit inside, …It quickened their
mechanics. Their bodies were quickened. They were no more cowards. (Now,
Peter was crucified upside down, and Paul had his head cut off.) They
went right out to face the people. …“You men of Judaea and you that
dwell in Jerusalem!” Where before the Dynamics come, they were just
mechanics.

	What’s the mechanics? The mechanics is the seed that came in a piece
of dirt. That’s clay, like you and me, but nonetheless, sons of God.
Now, the hour of promise: you shall receive the Holy Ghost. And they
did. And it had an effect.

42.	[30-4]	“Ye men of Jerusalem, let this be known unto you and
hearken to my words, these are not drunk as you suppose. I’m one of
them. This is that. I’ll show you what it is; It’s the Scripture.
This is that!” (And I always said, “If this ain’t that, let me
keep this until that comes along.” Bro. Branham said that. Well,
‘this’ is that.)

[30-5]	“No! This is that that was spoken of by the prophet Joel,
‘…It’ll come to pass in the l-a-s-t days, saith God, I’ll
pour…my Spirit upon all flesh.’” See, the Dynamics come to the
mechanics. They weren’t afraid any more.

	Now, let me tell you something. In many, many places, you’ll find
Bro. Branham says the last days are the last two days. But you will find
a place where he hinges it right to this hour, like I’ve done ever
since he’s been off the scene. I wondered for years, “Have I got a
right to say this.” 

	I know I’ve got a right to say that because the sun and the moon have
not turned to blood even yet. But it’s on its way. And then I found
where Bro. Branham said it. Okay.

43.	[30-5]	“No. This is that that was spoken of by the prophet Joel,
‘It’ll come to pass in the last days… Now, 

[30-6]	Some of you people that are afraid... (Now, watch now.) Some of
you people that are afraid that some woman will laugh at you for having
long hair, or quit wearing makeup. Some of you men that are afraid your
organization will throw you out when you baptize your congregation in
the Scriptural baptism (That’s Lord Jesus Christ.), you need to close
yourself in the upper room till the Dynamics come. That’s right.

	What’s he saying? You ain’t got it. Because if you do have it, and
you’re in need of correction, you’ll be corrected.

[30-7]	It changed them; It quickened them; It made them different. (Ah,
that’s it right there: different.) They were a changed people from
then on. It quickened them from an old life of being a coward to like
the Lion of the tribe of Judah.

	In the end time He roars like a lion, but He’s an eagle. So
therefore, you’re not afraid to be an eagle. You’re not afraid of
serpent seed.

44.	“And you, my sister, believe in serpent seed, that that animal
that had something to do with Eve and got her pregnant. Oh, ho, ho, ho,
you…” 

	“No, you…” 

	That fellow was so gorgeous; he didn’t have any trouble with her at
all. And the same women are more anxious to jump in bed with a man than
they are to turn their car into a driveway almost. I get a little bitter
about women; I don’t mean to be. I’m not really. But it’s got to
the place where it’s all over, because women aren’t women any longer
hardly anywhere. And men are hardly men anymore. And I’m not trying to
talk about macho men who flex their muscles and act like a bunch of
jerks. I’m talking about real men: courteous, kind and understanding,
and women that are ladies. I know men had a lot to do with it: the
serpent was a man. He didn’t have female organs. Don’t worry. Men
are a lot to blame, but I’m going to tell you something: a man brought
us back to God. Not a woman. A woman has nothing to do with it, and I
speak that as part of the bride of Jesus Christ. 

45.	There’s something horribly wrong. People simply can’t talk about
anything anymore, but you got to be some kind of a jerk to the world.
But that’s what it pays to be an eagle; that’s the price it costs.
You’re not afraid to stand on what you believe. 

	They say, “What do you believe?” 

	I laugh and say, “A little bit of everything.” I say, “Oh,
we’ve got some Seventh Day Adventists in us, but we don’t worship on
Saturday, because we don’t believe in any eternal hell. We’ve got a
little Jehovah Witness, too, because we believe in Presence. Not like
they do, of course, because they were wrong. And we’re regular
Baptists because we do believe in eternal security, except one thing: we
are secure and they’re not. And we do believe in falling away, you
see, because some never got there to fall away in the first place. They
always were. We believe in everything, but we believe it right.”
[Laughter] By that time, either they’re laughing and they know that
I’m not going to get serious… But I was. Sure. Don’t know what
they believe. They can do what they want. Later if they want to talk,
then we do get serious.

46.	[30-7]	…the Lion of the tribe of Judah. They…faced martyrdom,
nailed to crosses, crucified upside down, burnt, throwed in the lion’s
den, no more cowards—but death had no victory over them; the Dynamics
was in the mechanics.

	You see, they could die and be martyred because…and every one
could’ve been. Resurrection’s down the road, but we’re going to be
glorified right here. We’re not going to go to resurrection; this is
the hour for both. See?

[31-1]	Now, listen; here’s another thing for proof. It so quickened
them in such a way till you know what? They were lifted up in heavenly
places, …their mortal bodies…so quickened till their language
changed. It quickened their language. That’s what the Bible says.
…mortal bodies being quickened, …language…quickened;
…thoughts…quickened; …spirits…quickened; …lives quickened;
they were quickened altogether.

	In other words, there wasn’t one part that wasn’t quickened. It did
a whole job on the whole man.

47.	[31-1]	They tried to talk and couldn’t…

	Now, that would be nice if that happened. But you know, we’ve got a
new language, too. When you talk Branham-ese you ain’t talking
fundamental-ese. [Laughter] And when you believe Branham, you don’t
believe fundamental. We can take anything the Catholics got; show them
where they went off. Yep. 

	Oh, I know people who say, “Just a minute, you mean William Branham.
You just wouldn’t dare; you wouldn’t dare. But are you legally
responsible for the people?” 

	Ah yes. If I’m wrong, I’ll be judged instead of them. Now the
shoe’s on the other foot. Because they’re going to be judged for
what they taught, too, but they duck. 

	Now you say, “Bro. Vayle, would you be willing to be responsible for
what in the pulpit you preach.” 

	Why do you think I’m here? I am, whether I want to be or not. 

	“How do you know you’re right?”

	Nobody knows he’s right. You weren’t there and came back. William
Branham, he’s over there somewhere. Will he come back? I hope so. Who
knows? But you see, faith is where you believe in the unseen, because
you had something to do with the substance of it over there already.
Your one part here is waiting to catch up, and at this hour it is
already come to meet you. That’s right. Oh yeah, brother/sister,
I’ve got no worries; let them worry. They want to worry about me,
wonderful. They can pray; it’s going to do them no good. All right.

48.	[31-2]	If the Spirit that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in
you, (hallelujah.) It will quicken your mortal bodies in this hour.
It’ll make you do things you didn’t do before! (Sure does.) They
were full of the quickening Power then. See? Your body isn’t subject
to sin any more—the desires... One might say, “Come on out here.” 

[31-3]	You say, “Shut your mouth.”

[31-4]	“Oh, we got the biggest...”

[31-5]	“Shut your mouth!” Ah, you’re a eagle to say that!

	I didn’t ever… Bro. Branham said to this lady, “Shut up and sit
down.” 

	Now he’s using language like me. Now, I didn’t catch it from him.
He must’ve heard me somewhere. [Bro. Vayle and congregation laugh.]

49.	[31-6]	Did you ever see how independent an old eagle walks?

	You ever notice those birds? Man, I’ll tell you what. They can just
take a dog and just claw his insides out. I’ll tell you what:
they’re rough. Not that you go around, you know, bothering people.
It’s just that, you know, hey, I know what I’m doing and where I’m
going.

[31-6]	He don’t hop like a vulture…to every dead and all the carrion
laying on the ground. No, sir. He walks proud. Like saying, “Shut your
mouth.”

[31-7]	“Oh, here’s a good dinner over here.” (That’s what the
crow says.)

[31-8]	“Not for me, he said. I’m the one that’s got out of the
chicken pen. My desires have changed; my appetite is different…

	You know something? Poor old Jeremiah, the Lord said, “You got to
mingle your bread with manure.” It was supposed to be human manure. 

	“Oh, Lord,” he said, “Not that.”

	“Well,” He said, “I’ll lower it a bit.”

	See, the prophet knew by type that you can’t fool with the Word.
Every Word had to count. Some people, they don’t mind eating the…
You know, chickens, they’ll follow a horse and a cow to pick the oats
that are nicely swollen up through part of the process of digestion. You
know, this isn’t too bad when you understand the weed sprouted grain.
And the first stage in the stomach, the fermentation of that grain comes
out through whole through the cow and the horse and the chicken comes
along and picks it up. That’s okay for chickens, but not eagles. I
don’t need pre-digested food, you know, through organizations and
creeds. I got mine straight from the prophet, bless God—right from the
mouth of God, because he is the mouth of God. 

50.	Remember, God says to the Laodicean Church, “I’m spewing you out
of my mouth. In other words, your headship is gone. You’re finished.
I’m here to be the Head, and I brought a prophet to talk with me. And
I’m talking through a prophet now, and you listen.” 

	Church says, “Forget it.” 

	“Well, that’s fine, I forget you, too.” 

	The book gets closed. Well, I’m telling you: the Bible says, “If a
man is froward with me, I’m froward with him. If he treats me lightly,
I’ll treat him lightly.” Yes, sir! He said to Job, “Where were you
when I laid the foundations?” He said, “Shut up and sit down.” 

	And we’re in a period where God says, “Shut up and sit down.” I
wish we recognized it.

51.	[31-9]	Oh, when He raised up Christ from the grave, dwelling in you,
…quickened your mortal bodies unto His Presence. You recognize It;
(the Presence) you are no longer a scavenger; you’re an eagle. You
don’t want the things of the world. (That’s the carrion: the creeds
and dogmas.) You’re a son and daughter of God. You’re feasting at a
fountain that the world knows nothing about; you’re drinking…, the
world knows nothing about, but you know about. You’re eating hidden
Manna that the world never even knew… about, for you’re an eagle;
you’re quickened up…where you can get to It.

	What about the hidden manna? Revelation 2:17:

(17) 	He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna,
will I give…a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which
no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

	Bro. Branham put a lot of those under the Thunders – the new name
under the Thunders and all – that wasn’t in the seventh church age.
These things here that were the mysteries were under the Thunders. And
under the Thunders they have come forth, my brother/sister. The hidden
manna has come out. Hidden from even before the foundation of the world.
Who got it? You and I got it. Never had it back there in the first
church age. No way – Paul said it had to come. Paul would’ve only
been privy to the final revelation had he lived. He knew it was there,
and it was going to come, and Bro. Branham was the one that came with
it. Humble little fellow—fooled everybody. 

52.	Oh, listen. You want to fool people: you can either be a William
Branham, calm and sweet, staying in the background, or you could be a
Muhammad Ali, shoot your face off until people don’t even really know
what you are. He was the clown that made the money, and he laughed all
the way to the bank. And he’s still laughing. And now you get him
serious; he says, “Sure, I put on an act.” And now the big smart
guys were suckered by Muhammad Ali, a punch drunk boxer, because
that’s what he is, now punch drunk. Notice how he slurs and everything
else. And William Branham was a boxer, too, and he just backed away,
backed away, he backed away. But he was better than Muhammad Ali; he
could fly like a butterfly and more than stung like a bee. Muhammad Ali
could pulverize one man in the ring, but William Branham stood there and
took as many as a million—if necessary—spirits under his control for
the glory of God, and you couldn’t move. Not one thought that wasn’t
revealed if he had to have it.

	Everything’s a type, brother/sister…everything around the world. I
don’t fool with it. Why should I? I got too much… My joy is in the
Word. The Lord told me to keep off that stuff anyway. I don’t want to
disobey Him. All right.

53.	He say’s here: [32-0] “You can’t get It down here; you get it
up here.”

	In other words, you got to be in the higher atmospheres. All right.
What is he really saying: “You can’t get it down here, you get it up
here.” Okay, we go to John 8:23. Here he’s speaking to those
Pharisees, serpent seed, the whole bunch.

(23) 	And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye
are of this world; I am not of this world.

	So, what is beneath? Creeds and dogmas, manmade organization. What’s
from above? What Bro. Branham brought us. It will quicken you.

54.	[32-1]	And what did they do? They spoke in other languages. The
Bible said they did. They spoke in every tongue under heaven. Could you
imagine that? Them old mortal bodies that’s in there say, “Well, I
don’t know now whether I can believe this or not.” All at once, they
were so quickened till the bravery of the Lion of the tribe of Judah
fell over them over that waving Sheaf. Oh, that Eagle come to call Its
own. And they loved not their lives…

	I had the same experience. I told you, sitting there under the Rapture
tape sermon. “Oh, Bro. Branham, I don’t know if I can believe it.”
Suddenly, what happened? You tell me. It quickened. The Quickener was
there, inside and outside. 

	“When was he ever wrong?” 

	“The Shout’s the Message; glory to God.” It’s been that way
ever since. You don’t fool with this stuff. All right.

55.	There was the Lion Sheaf; this is the Eagle Sheaf. After seven
church ages, with a prophet on the scene, it should be a million times
easier to believe than at any time that Jesus was literally there in the
flesh. And since the atmosphere was so much against Jesus in His day and
supposed to be so much for Him in this day, how come they’re missing
it? Wrong atmosphere. Wrong rain. Wrong seed. Wrong everything.

	Notice. Back there the Lion was the alpha; today, it is the Eagle, the
omega. He is one and the same, but different parts in the drama as is
necessary, for one is a sower and one is a reaper. One was where a lion
roared, and they sat up and took notice—that’s the Gentiles did. The
next time it was ‘as a lion roaring’, but he came appealing strictly
to a Word, and the mind was so clouded and defogged, the simplicity went
over their heads.

56.	[32-1]	And there’s going to be more who’ll give their life’s
blood. 

	Now Bro. Branham is taking a piece of a song here, from the first age
how they were martyred.

	For this Holy Ghost Gospel and Its crimson flood. 

	Will they martyr again? Not necessarily, but there’ll be a martyrdom
that you’ll commit yourself by going to the Word, because the minute
you do, you’re finished. The squeeze hasn’t come down yet. Praise
God, let it come down. Somehow there’ll be amazing grace. There has to
be, brother/sister. Don’t worry about that day; just take the day in
its stride. If He gives us meat in due season, we’ll be strong enough
to rise above it all.

[32-2]	There the Son has got to be revealed again in the Bride in the
last days,…

	Now, was he revealed in the Bride in the first day? Yes. Now, they were
talking in tongues which were known, staggering around under the power,
and the man who was given the charge to reveal it said, “I’ll tell
you what’s going on.” Paradox. And those that believed It; they got
It. Now, the end time is the same way. They don’t believe; they
won’t get it.

57.	[32-2]	…a quickening Power has got to come, quicken out of these
dead denominations (That wasn’t back there at Pentecost.) and creeds
to a living Word of the living God. (They only had part of the Word back
there.) It quickens them to new Life.

	Something they never had before. People going to walk into immortality.
Listen, do you know that’s really something? You know what? I don’t
remember a time in my life outside of being a tiny, tiny, little kid,
when I woke up every morning refreshed. I’ve always battled my body,
not just because I’m lazy. I’m lazy. Make no mistake about it. But I
think even my eyelashes are tired. [Laughter] I remember years ago a
preacher commented. He said, “I’ve got this book in my house. If you
can get the energy, come up and get it.” And he didn’t know how
desperately tired I always was. I always have been tired. Now, I always
work and I still work, but desperately tired. I don’t know what it is.
I was born tired. I don’t know. 

	I’m waiting for the day. I told my mother when I was about 12; I
said, “Ma, I’m waiting for day when I die.” I said, “The time
when my body just goes [Bro. Vayle makes a ‘poof/poot’ sound.] on
me. I know I’ll feel good for the first time.” Oh, she got mad. I
hope she found out that was right when she died. You know, you’re
bound to feel good, ha ha ha, ha, if you’ve got any feelings at all.
What do you think Abraham felt like that morning? “What’s going
on?” Oh my! You know, we could stand here till it happened, and you
ain’t going to know any different until it does happen. Let’s keep
moving. Let’s keep moving.

58.	[32-2]	…revealed in the Bride again in the last days, a quickening
Power has got to come…

[32-3]	Notice! …they was so quickened in that quickening Power, now,
I... (Listen…now; I’m trying to show you.) The quickening power
wasn’t only in their soul, but It was all over them. It... Not only
the Dynamics come in to quicken, but It quickened the mechanics. You see
what I mean? They were so quickened till their tongues began to speak in
another language. (So do ours, now. No more the old theology.) …so
quickened by the power of the resurrection of Christ, …they laid their
hands... They were so quickened by the…power, till when they laid
their hands upon the sick, they got well. It quickens your mortal
bodies. They were healed by laying on of hands.

	Now, Bro. Branham that’s the genuine healing revival because it
points to something. Now, what about this? What about when you’re
quickened according to Eph 1:17-23? Where are you? Then you’re in
Ephesians 4. It’s all over. And you know what, at that time in
Ephesians 4 when you come there… Never get tired of Ephesians 4,
because why should I? That’s my book. Bro. Branham said it was, so
bless God. Let’s bless God.

59.	Now he said, Eph 4:17:

(17) 	This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth
walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,

(18) 	Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life
of God through the ignorance that’s in them, because of the blindness
of their heart:

(19) 	Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto
lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

(20) 	But ye have not so learned Christ;

(21)	If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as
the truth is in Jesus.

	Put it off. He tells you. Quickened. How would you like to go back to
your old churches? Goodbye, honey, it was nice knowing you. I don’t
know if it was or not. I’ll be courteous. You couldn’t go back to
your old church. Fap! My mother was a good cook, but I’m going to tell
you something: I ate food in Norway and Sweden – shee wow!, just bring
on them elastic pants. [Laughter] No, listen brother/sister, I left
Pentecost and it’s left me. In other words, I don’t have any taste
anymore. You know, little kids are perverted because they’re given
sugar and all that junk. Everybody’s perverted; we is un-perverted,
‘cause we’re converted. Now, let’s believe it, bless God. I’m
not telling you bedtime stories. It’s the truth.

60.	[32-4]	(Now) And the Spirit quickened their fellowship together with
God, till they also were so quickened in the presence of God…

	Let me tell you something, brother/sister. The presence of God in
Christ in you and in the whole Bride is not the presence of the One Who
was in the Pillar of Fire that we’re going to face in the body of
Jesus Christ. Don’t let anybody ever tell you any different. No, no,
no, no. Fifty billion converted, full of the Holy Ghost, would never
make Him. Look; I’m going to tell you something: It’s going to be
nice. Like Bro. Branham said, “God is so good to us because He
knows,” you know, “what we are.” 

61.	Even in the Resurrection, He lets us get away with it. He said,
“All right. From down here on earth you’re going to see each other
for so many days, so many hours.” And you’re going to love each
other and say, “Hey, did this one make it? I thank God.” And
you’re going to love each other, and then, when it’s time to go up,
you won’t even think of each other. Every eye will be on Him. 

	Well now, I tell you, I’m not going to forego the time down here,
because He wants it. But it ain’t going to be nothing to that time
when we see Him—knowing we’ve got it made in that area. See? Oh, he
said:

[32-4]	…in the presence of God, until when a person dies, their soul
just had gone off, they called him back to life again. 

	That’s what we know right here. Oh, if old Bill Dauch was one of the
elect of God… I believe he was. I know Bro. Branham sure was. Oh man,
just no time at all until we’re going to see him on this earth. This
generation’s going to see him; I’m going to see him walking on the
earth. And if I don’t, I’m going to come back and walk with him.
That’s the way I’ve got it all figured out. There can’t be any
doubt there. I don’t believe for one minute I’m going to miss it.
Even if I just stick around to pour water on somebody’s hands, I’m
going to be there. That’s good—don’t even have to turn on the tap
even. See.

62.	[32-5]	That’s right. Quickened... Not only was His resurrection
for Himself, but for whosoever will…

	He didn’t wave Himself to prove Himself. When did God need
vindication? Fap! We needed faith – rapturing faith. Amen. Listen.

[32-5]	…to this predestinated seed…laying there quickened, quickens
their mortal body; …laid hands on the sick; they recovered. They
prayed, and in the Spirit they saw visions…

	What opened the door to the Gentiles? Visions! Man named Cornelius come
with a sheet led down from heaven. What closes this hour? A prophet with
visions—greater than Daniel, no doubt—maybe the greatest prophet
that ever lived. Oh yeah. Don’t sell it short, brother/sister. 

63.	We’re going to close it. What does It say in Ephesians here? It
says that the Spirit of wisdom and revelation comes into the church,
bringing the church and revealing what day we’re living in, just the
same as Gabriel came to Daniel, the great visionary. Daniel had one
vision: he could tell one king one dream the man had forgotten. Bro.
Branham told dozens of them. Stood right there when Paul Boyd in
Waterloo, Iowa came in. They were having breakfast. Brother Branham
shook his hand. He said, “Bro. Branham, you got a minute? I don’t
want to bother you.” 

	He said, “Oh sure Paul. I got a minute.” 

	He said, “I want to tell you a dream.”

	He said, “No Paul, I’ll tell you your dream.” 

	He told him his dream. Yeah, those things are real—and no quack
either. Anybody can come later on, you know. I don’t want to hurt
anybody’s feelings. Anybody can come later on, you know, and do things
like… You’ve got counterfeits. But you could never have a
counterfeit without a genuine. Amen. Listen, that’s right.

64.	[33-0]	…quickens their mortal body. [Bro. Vayle considers time and
material covered.] Quickened their mortal bodies; and if It comes into
you, if it be so—now, you can say it’s so, but if it be so—these
signs follows them. See? And It quickens your mortal body; It’ll
quicken you.

	Now, remember; he said the Spirit coming up through a Bride. Didn’t
say some big shot coming up, “Bless God, bless God, oh gonna have
great miracles, hallelujah. And we all going to do great and mighty
works, bless God. And that’s how it goes, hallelujah…”

	‘Hallelujah,’ that’s wrong. Now, if it weren’t for my clowning
you wouldn’t get it. Because even Bro. Branham was made a side show
according to God in the ministry. He said the Spirit comes up through
the Church. When it came to headship, it meant one thing: prophet,
prophet, prophet, prophet. He saw it all, and the Seed’s run out.
Yeah. If it hasn’t, it soon will. 

	Now, if you can’t see that, you don’t see nothing. You’re still
back in Pentecost in the sixth age. You don’t know seven blows it.
It’s the fan that separates. Didn’t say to start something; it says
‘separate’. He comes up through the church, and He’s here.
Headship—waved over the people to know what’s going on. They said,
“Hey what’s going on down the road. Hey, what’s happened back
there?” 

	Hey, He’s here. Amen.

	Let’s rise.

	Heavenly Father, we’re grateful again for Your love, mercy and grace,
Your goodness Lord. I can begin to see how the prophet, no way could
want to taper off because everything flows and flows and flows, and
it’s all so wrapped up in the one moment, Mal 4:6 and Lk 17:30, back
there in Matthew 4 and 12 also, and all of these things coming to
pass—Revelation 10:1-7. Seeing them all Lord God, everything,
there’s just no way, no way of escape, the Scripture all here before
us. 

	Now, forgetting those things which are behind and immediately
captivated by that which lies right under our noses, so to speak, and
seeing it right here, Lord, and we a part of it. And the only reason we
know is because we are a part of it by understanding it, knowing what is
going on. And that’s exactly right, Lord, we know that, we believe
that. And if we’re wrong, then praise be to God anyway. There’s a
Bride out there somewhere. That’s right. Because we know we’re this
much right, that Lord, you do have a Bride. 

	And Father God, we just look for more humility in Your Presence. We
know that You were so humble that You came all the way down. Help us to
go all the way down to lose every thought and every control of ourselves
until absolutely You have control of us and You have us in subservience,
and that’s what we want. And we know it’s not an abject
subservience; it’s the glorious subservience of serving the mighty
God, the everlasting Father, the King of Kings, the Altogether One. 

	Heavenly Father, bless each one. Don’t let one person in this
building miss it, Lord. Don’t let any…[Audio recording ends.]
