Seed of Discrepancy #14  

To Sound Differently

October 29, 1995

 

	Heavenly Father, we know by vindication that Thou art the true and
living God, and Thy Son is the Lord Jesus Christ, who died and rose
again for our justification, and now upon the throne of God Himself is
still our mediator and intercessor, our very High Priest. And He has
not, as some would presume, in any other position. We are glad, Lord,
that You’re here, putting all things under his feet, a preparatory
against that day when the Son shall hand the Kingdom back to the Father.
All those things, Lord, are revealed for this hour, and like the great
Roman candle, the first burst is bringing forth many, many facets and
wonderful revelations and truths, and we’re very glad for them. 

	We pray Lord, that we shall add Word upon Word until we’re thoroughly
dressed in the perfect revelation, the perfect faith, and trusting in
the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ. These things, Lord, we know, are
here in this hour. They have been there, waiting to be exposed, but now
they are exposed to us. We pray we shall esteem them above our necessary
meat, above life itself, because this is the true life, not the life
that is simply here in the flesh that courses through our veins by
reason of blood, but there is a life, God’s life Himself, and the
soul. And we know, Lord, when the soul departs and come back some day
picking up that body… 

	We’re grateful for these things, Lord. We just ask You, Father, to
bless our study this morning and help us we might not error in these
things. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen. 

	You may be seated.

1.	Now, I don’t even know what number this is in the Message of the
“Seed of Discrepancy”. And I just thinking the other day, I made a
little booboo about this Message here. This wasn’t the message that
Bro. Branham looked so much, it was “The Paradox”. This is the one
that I got more out of than “The Paradox”, because of the spirit
situation within the building at that time. But this, however, is a very
important Message, and it’s one that he preached in 1964, or it might
have been ‘65 maybe, at the turn of the year over there in Phoenix.
But the very title itself is a little peculiar in that he uses the word
‘discrepancy’. 

	Actually we know that Bro. Branham said, concerning the Word of the
Lord is revealed to the prophet in the former rain, he said, “That
prophet will plant the Word of the entire Bible from the serpent in the
Garden of Eden to the prophet in the former rain.” And remembering, I
think it was September 1958, in July…I think it was September 1958
that Bro. Branham preached on serpent seed, and you know, of course,
that that caused a great deal of dissention, so much so that Bro.
Branham regretted that the tape had gone out. But I think even he had
not told them to send it out, but they had sent it out. In yet by the
time we came to writing the Church Ages, and setting the doctrine in
order so that people might understand what Bro. Branham meant, when he
enunciated certain principles from the Word, we went into that quite
thoroughly as possible.

2.	So, anyway, we’re looking at the word ‘discrepancy’. It means
‘to sound differently’. It’s ‘a disagreement’, ‘a
difference’, an ‘inconsistent, ‘something not consistent’. I
think that’s one of the best definitions. ‘A discrepancy’ means
‘there is something that isn’t consistent’; ‘it’s not running
true to order and, therefore, becomes at variance with the true
principle’. Now it wouldn’t be too bad if we had a situation where
you had a problem. (This seat ain’t working too good. Come on and fix
this Lloyd, whatever you got to do with it. I’ll sink to the floor
here. [Bro. Lloyd adjusts height of Bro. Vayle’s chair.)

	But anyway, it wouldn’t be too bad if we merely found a problem,
which was not contradictory, or contra serving. Now, it wouldn’t be so
bad if it weren’t detrimental, and not only detrimental, but divisive,
and actually beset forth, to take the place of the other true precept.
Do you following what I am saying? Because, it’s important for you to
understand that. You just don’t have something here that’s at
variance, in a passive sense of the word. See? 

3.	Now, remember; one of the… Bro. Branham used this parable over
here. [Matthew 13] 

(24)	Another parable putting forth…, saying, The kingdom of heaven is
likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field. (Now, see, the
Kingdom of Heaven starts out good. Now they get some problems.)

(25)	But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the
wheat, and went (their) way. (Now I don’t know if I can find it over
here in a hurry, my mind…trying to pick up something here.) 

4.	Now, speaking of the problems in the errors and shameful things that
the seed of discrepancy wrought. Paul says here: [Ephesians 5]

(8) 	…you were sometimes darkness, but now (the) light in the Lord:
walk as children (in the) light.

(9)	(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness
and truth.)

  And that’s really the thing you got to look out for: not the fruit
of the spirit is delineated elsewhere, because anybody can produce that
under anointing, but you can’t produce the righteousness in the fruit,
you can’t produce that, unless you really are truly one in the Spirit.

Proving what is (that) acceptable, (what is acceptable in) the Lord.

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather
reprove them.

(12)	For it is a shame, even to speak of those things which are done of
them in secret. (Well, you see, that is all in the open today. Like you
couldn’t believe.)

(13)	But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: 

5. Now It tells you right here, that God exposes these things. And
they’ve been exposed for seven church ages. Not exposed like they’re
exposed today, but they’ve been exposed all along by the Word of God.
And people still don’t believe.

(14)	Wherefore he saith… (Now, watch:)

(13)	…all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light. 

God deliberately brings to pass a revelation by the Holy Spirt that
plays upon the minds and the spirit and particularly down into the soul
of the Bride; the true church, even into the foolish virgin, because
remember they’re virtuous, cut from the same cloth. Now he said,
“God brings that to light, and makes it manifest.” Now, watch:

(14)	Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the
dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

	Now we read over here, “While men slept,” through seven church
ages, there was the planting of these tares. And It says here that these
people that Paul is speaking of are not dead as though they need
quickening, they are simply asleep at the switch. 

6.	Now he said:

(14)	…Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from (amongst) the dead … 

These, in many cases, you’d call soulless, natural, brute beast
animals that are out there sowing the tare life. Now a tare is not
wheat. The tare is a curse upon the earth. You find that right in the
Book of Genesis. “Curse the earth for thy sake, and unto thee it’s
going to bring forth weeds and brambles. It’s going to cause you to
sweat.” Now, that’s just the natural from the soil. What about these
people here then, that are not just simply tares, brambles, that come
from soil that hinder us in our daily search for our living? What about
these that come and would hinder us from the things of God? 

7.	Now he said, “Look, at the time when God is manifesting, see that
you are wide-awake. Get away from the dead. Come out of them.” It’s
always been a coming out message. It’s always been Revelation, chapter
18: “Come out from among them; be ye separate, saith the Lord.” See?

	Come out from those dead churches. They’re dead, but they’re still
causing tremendous havoc by the natural, brute beast life that they have
within them. It’s a mess. See?

(15)	See… that you walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 

(16)	Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 

(17)	Wherefore be… not unwise, but understanding what the will of the
Lord is.

	In other words, when God manifests and brings a revelation on the
scene, that’s which you go hook, line, and sinker for, to disassociate
yourself from these dead and sleeping tares that are worshippers of God,
or gods even. And they have nothing in them but death. 

Now the serpent came and said, “Didn’t you sow good seed?” 

He said, “certainly.” 

8.	So, the kingdom of heaven deals with mankind as mankind is, and
mankind started out in the pure Adamic race. There is now two ways about
it. There they were in the Garden. And the good man says, “An enemy
did this.” Now, strange that Eve took this enemy as a friend. Better
be careful who your friends are. Evil communications, evil companions,
corrupt good manners. Birds of a feather flock together, pretty soon
tarred with the same brush.

	That’s why I am so happy to see children in their own home schools.
We should do anything we can for them, to help them and go one step
better than the Seventh Day Adventists, the Amish, and the whole bunch.
We were already many steps ahead because we have the truth. And the
truth is life. And you can do nothing against the truth but for the
truth. The harder these people try, the more God raises up a standard. 

	So, he said, “Shall we pull them up?”

	“No, lest while ye gather up the tares, you root up the wheat also.
Let them both grow together until the harvest.” [Mt 13:29-30]

9.	So, the Kingdom of God, starting out with good seed, will end up with
a tremendous harvest of rotten seed. Like, for instance, in the
beginning you say God planted oats; but the end of the trail, it’s
wild oats—all is fit for burning. I don’t know if you know anything
about wild oats or not, but wild oats many times look better than tame
oats. And when the harvest time comes, you take and try to shell it,
ain’t nothing in it. The horses wouldn’t want it, the cows
wouldn’t want it, and nobody wants it. Now, if you cut it green, it
might be all right, or turn it under the ground as green manure
fertilizer. I don’t know.

	But, these people have nothing. “But let them grow together, and
gather together first the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them,
but gather the wheat into my barn.” [Mt 13:30] 

	Now Bro. Branham said very truthfully that, though this is a parable in
the time of Jesus, its fulfillment is a fulfillment in this last hour as
it never was fulfilled before, because Bro. Branham said, “The
beginning of the age God brings… and again at the last age (beginning
at the first age), God brings his prophet, his witness on the scene,
whatever that man is”—brings him on, brings the message. He is
rejected, except by a few Bride. And then, God takes away his faithful
servant, and pulls away and slumber the little Bride there. And then at
the end of that age, starting a new age, comes another messenger.

10.	But you see, there is no such thing as the actual taring up,
bundling and binding and burning, that there is at this age, because
this is Malachi 4. And people that really don’t have a clue about
that. They try to give it all to the Jews. Funny thing is, they want to
take what the Jews have, and they want to give to the Jews what they
have. But Bro. Branham speaking here, then, about the seed of
discrepancy, he’s mentioning that this is particularly for the end
time. And you’ll notice that, in the beginning, which is the Alpha
here, where this parable starts out going way back to Genesis, (It goes
all through Israel, goes into the New Testament church, and all the way
down to the very end there.) if you go back to the beginning where man
is involved in the Kingdom of God, and he is the sowing of mankind, you
know right away, as God said to Adam and Eve, “Be fruitful and
multiply, replenish the Earth,” even as he said in Jesus, “You’re
the beginning of my generations,” and, as that son was in God, we were
in him, so we’re still a part of God. 

11.	So, looking at it, they became fruitful and multiplied. Now we
understand how they did it all wrong, but just bypassed that. How is it
possible that Eve and Adam could bring forth two children with such a
disparity, such a difference, such a disagreement, such an
inconsistency, because Cain had no trouble killing his brother. No doubt
he cut his throat with a jagged piece of flint stone, poured the blood
upon the ground, bashed his head in. And then, when God said, “The
blood of your brother cries from the ground,” he said, “So what!”

12.	Eve got from behind the Word, and she fell for Satan’s lie, but
she was seduced, and she didn’t show criminal tendencies. There was
nothing in her that wanted to actually rebel against the Word, and throw
the Word out of her life, because she didn’t deny God and didn’t
deny what God said. She just listened to the wrong one interpreting the
Word. So, she got off that Word. But you look at Cain; that’s a breed
of a different color entirely.

	So it was easy back there to tell. Well, there is no way that Cain
could be the son of Adam, and the Bible bears that out, as science bears
record that Eve is the mother of all living. But there is no record of a
single male being the father of all living. Just, there isn’t.
That’s scientific! It’s also scientific that man came out of Africa.

	I laughed that one time this preacher from New York that is supposed to
have all the answers, he didn’t have the Garden of Eden down in
Africa. Whether you believe it or not, that’s what Bro. Branham said.
That takes care of it. And the cradle was down there, because you’re
looking at all of these things coming out of Africa, proving Eve was the
mother, one mother, but she had two men who became fathers to her
children.

13.	Now, what kind of a person do you think Cain was, that he could just
simply grab Abel and kill him with no problem? Well, if you study the
murder scene of the century out in L.A., you’ll wonder the same thing:
how a man could grab two healthy people and slit their throats. I wonder
at that myself. I don’t know who did what to whom, but my thought here
is you better believe that this fellow was a mighty big fellow. That’s
where the giants came from. And it was easy to tell, no problem, the
seed of discrepancy. You could tell right away there was a difference. 

	Hey, there is something here that jangles, or something doesn’t fit.
There’s something trying to take over that doesn’t belong. This does
not work; there is something we’re missing. And I am going to tell you
something, all through seven church ages, that has been the theme song:
“Something is missing, something is missing, something is missing. It
doesn’t fit; it doesn’t work.” That’s why people continually
sought light. 

14.	Now, at the end time, they’d better rise from amongst the dead
because God has certainly made manifest what the truth is by
vindication. And, if that doesn’t stir people up, if vindication does
not stir people up; I don’t know why they bother, even to bother with
Bro. Branham. 

	I got a letter the other day from a real individual out there in North
Dakota. He wrote his name on it. His name is Rusty Kubal. He is quoting
everything under high heaven to make Joseph, Joshua. 

	Bro. Branham categorically said “Our Joshua is the Holy Spirit,” He
said that Joseph said he was Joshua. I believe that’s a lie. I don’t
believe Joseph said that to anybody. I believe the guys not only off the
Word, I believe he’s a liar—a barefaced liar. Why doesn’t he quote
the time Bro. Branham was in New York, in December, and admitted
publicly that he was absolutely Elijah? Always looking for something.
The guy doesn’t have a clue to vindication. He can’t have!

	And, if Joseph tried to rise up as a prophet to supersede Bro. Branham,
he’d be phony as a three-dollar bill, because we have got the
original. Now, there’s one thing, of course, at the end time, in the
first place, Cain and Abel… Forget it. You could tell right now who
was who, and for centuries you could tell. But the time Jesus came to
Jerusalem, you couldn’t tell, you could just feel something wasn’t
right. 

15.	Back when I was in Pentecost, I couldn’t deny what God has done.
But I sure had that bug-dug feeling; never got over it till I got in the
Message. There was a discrepancy. There was a chattering. The gears were
chattering.

	See, I wasn’t moving up the road, something’s wrong. Back in the
beginning, simple was A-B-C. Back at the time of Judas and Jesus, simple
as ABC. If you looked at it correctly, but even back in Jesus’ day, it
wasn’t too easy to tell. Now in this day, there’s a razorblade edge
difference, and that’s all there is.

	And the seed of discrepancy, serpent seed in this hour, is you’re
dealing with people across the board. That you couldn’t tell if you
tried. And tried to prove on your own, that these people are bride or
non-bride. It is so vague and so difficult, that is to bring forth some
type of manifested testing. Like if Joseph claimed he was Joshua, which
I am sure the boy never claim that for 15 seconds. Where’s his proof?
What sign does he show us? The Bible says. “When a true prophet is on
the scene, another prophet comes by and shows you a sign, it is only for
one reason: take you away from the truth,” because he’s a false
prophet.

16.	So, at this the end time, there is one thing that stands sure:
“The foundation of God standeth sure having this seal, the Lord
knoweth them which are his.” [2 Tim 2:19] And there is not one He’s
going to fail to call. And the evidence of being a true child of God in
the hour in which you live, is the genuine faith, which is a true
revelation of the Word of Almighty God, which is the only righteousness
that you can have. 

	See, like sin is unbelief, smoking, drinking, carousing—attributes,
they come from the mother-lode. If a person truly believed Bro.
Branham’s Message, with a sincerity that we seem to lack, there would
be more consistency. But that still would not prove that you’re Bride.
The only proof that you and I have, is concerning the revelation of the
hour, because that’s what the Scripture sets forth. 

17.	Now, so Bro. Branham, in dealing with this subject, talking to the
Full Gospel Business Men in Arizona, on page 10, where he left off, he
said:

[50]	Now we find today this discrepancy has shown throughout the age.”

	Sure it has. As soon as God brings the light, the enemy rises up to
bring in something else, add to it. See, people are just like their
father, the devil. They will not subscribe to the   HYPERLINK
"http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/sovereignty"  sovereignty  of
God, even as the devil said, “I will ascend above the mountains and
the clouds, even above the Most High, I’ll not only be like God,
I’ll supersede Him.” 

	Well, hey, you don’t find people down here saying that. No! Does the
pope come along and say, “I am greater than God?” No! He said, “I
am the servant of God; I am the vicar of Christ. I am here in His
stead.” People fall for it. See?

18.	Every age, brings forth the error against the truth, and you better
believe the greatest error your going to see in these days is against
the revelation of the Rapture. Because that’s the one thing the Bride
needed as the crowning doctrine, where she would understand the events
and that which pertained to it. 

[50]	…If it was possible to go it in the next ten to fifteen minutes,
I’d do it, but you can’t. Down through the ages… Most of us all
read the Bible. And now like when Jesus came, and he found that
discrepancy, that difference, he found what was contrary. See? 

	The commandment was not given to the serpent, “Be fruitful and
multiply.” It was given to Adam and Eve, and she blew it when she went
into liaison with that serpent. Hard to understand. Other words, woman
today have more morals than she had. What in the world happened?

19.	[50]	…He found that which was contrary. Now, watch; contrary to
what? Contrary to him. First of all: 

[50]	He was the Word made manifest. He was God’s interpretation of the
Word. That’s right. “Search the Scripture, for in them you think you
have eternal life, and they are they that testify of me.” 

	And He said, “If you get the right clues to the Scripture, if you
search, you are going to find me there.” Well then, he was the Word of
God manifested.

[50]	He was the interpretation of the Scripture.

	Just like John the Baptist, “Who are you?” 

	“I’m the voice one crying in the wilderness. I’m Isa 40:1. I’m
that Word of God made manifest in flesh, because I’m fulfilling that
Word.”

	What Word? The Word that devolved upon them, they received, and thereby
became. Think it over. There you are. He was the interpretation of the
Word. Bro. Branham said, “God interprets His Word by fulfilling it”
He was the fulfillment. 

20.	Now, watch. And every born again son and daughter of this age is the
interpretation of the Word. You are written epistles read of all men.
Yes, now, right now, that could come up pretty lame. So, how in the
world could I be an interpretation or manifestation of the Word of God?
What in the world have I got? And you start looking for gifts. Well,
now, you going to compete with THUS SAITH THE LORD of a prophet? Are you
going to compete with a man who said, “I challenge you, bring me
twenty-five of your worst cases, guaranteed healing for all?” And
nobody came, so God healed about eleven thousand with not one dropout.
We never only got twenty-five, we got forty times that. At that time I
didn’t even think of it myself. Not one miss, stand right there; cast
out devils left and right. 

	Devil didn’t come the first time, become… He better look out; the
third time he was gone. Are you going to compete with that? Where do you
place your rebirth? “Born again not of corruptible spora.” In other
words, dusted by the pollen that comes from the air any old where.
“I’ll take this; I’ll take that.” You get born-again
Pentecostal, born-again Seventh day Adventists, born-again Mormon, born
again Islam. All going to hell. Not because I say so. Born of the
incorruptible Word; which tells you, no discrepancy; this is the
measuring line, the plumb line, hey! It fits!

21.	“Well, just a minute, who are you to tell me it fits?” Shut up
and sit down! You don’t have a clue to God and His prophets! See, that
is why I get turned on so desperately and so strong, and when people
come after ten years sitting under a minister, “Bro. Vayle, I begin to
understand today because you preached vindication so strongly.”

	Where are the rest of the preachers? I’m not the only one. I’ll
challenge you; you line up men’s sermons against mine. You’re going
to find out, day after day, night after night, we build our hope on the
Word of God interpreted by bringing it into manifestation with THUS
SAITH THE LORD behind it! We are, therefore, those of perfect faith,
completely righteous. And we are manifested before the world. Why?
Because, as Jesus said, “For which good deed do you stone me?” [Jn
10:32]

	“Oh,” they said, “shut up, you know we love the sick healed. Feed
our sick, raise our dead, but shut your mouth!”

	Paul the apostle said, “What are you trying to kill me for?” 

	I’ll tell you why, “Because you call heresy what I preach,
vindicated life of Jesus, and vindicated in my own life.”

	Now, what did he say to those who are the manifested children? He said,
over here in the Book of 1 Corinthians… Ah well, I’ll get it for
you. They were fussing: “I’m of Paul, I’m of this, I say that,
this fellow says the other thing. What’s going on here anyway?” 

22.	 Here’s what the apostle Paul said. He said: [1 Corinthians 14] 

(32)	… the spirit of the prophets are subject to the prophets. (And he
said here,) 

(36)	What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
(Now, watch:)

(37)	If any man think himself to be a prophet, (It’s a five-fold
minister prophet.) or spiritual (You know what a spiritual man is?
He’s not carnal. He lives in the spirit, he walks in the spirit. He
discerns spiritual things. The spirit of God’s in him. And what does
he say about them?) let him acknowledge, that the things that I write
unto you (Not Peter, not James, not John, not anybody.) are the
commandments of the Lord.

	Now, do you want to be a manifested child of God? Well, we’ll ordain
some you ladies to tippy-toe across the street and platform and pray for
the sick and yahoo and wahoo. But not around here. You men that want to
be some big shots? We’ll do the same for you. But by the time we get
finished, we’ll throw you out the door. Do you know It’s the
engrafted Word of salvation that you received to be saved? The
uncorrupted, incorruptible Word of Almighty God that we receive into our
souls. That’s the manifestation. 

23.	You got everybody running around and say, “Well, Joseph, got to do
this, and this man got to do that.”

	I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, “The truth of Joe Branham
is that he is a prophet.” Never doubt for one minute.

	So, Billy Paul said, “Daddy, what about it?” 

	I guess he wanted some signs in a hurry out of the basket. 

	His dad said, “Don’t you worry, he is a prophet, but it all depends
on the crowd he’s with. If he’s with the wrong crowd, he’ll be a
prophet unto men. If he’s with the right crowd, he’ll be a prophet
unto God.”

	And somebody wants to come along and depose and dispose of Bro.
Branham, vindicated prophet of God with the Pillar of Fire, ho, ho, ho!
You do what you want, baby, but don’t come around here with your filth
and your stench. I’m not interested. 

24.	I want to have this Word to such a place, when I think anything
about the Word, I think what William Branham said. And don’t care
about two bits about what I have said or what anybody else has said.
Change nothing.

[50]	You are the written epistles, the Word, read of all men.

	What do you believe about this? I believe…

	“Oh, a heretic, get out of my hair.” 

	What do you believe about this? 

	“I can’t take what you say. No, no, no. You’re wrong.” 

	Just give me a sign that you’re right. See, they can’t do it. Now
they’ve got themselves on a spot. Now, who’s the one that can give
the sign? This age started with a vindicated prophet; it ends with
vindicated prophet.

25.	The same Pillar of Fire that brought the Word to Paul is here
revealing the Word to you and me, and thank God we have the right
revelation. If we could go to 1 Th 4:16, where we see our destination
caught up to be with the Lord, caught up meet Him in the air. And It
tells you:

 (16)	…the Lord himself shall descend…with a shout. (With a Message,
to put the church in order.) 

	They think it’s some little gift in a room. I couldn’t understand
why Bro. Branham didn’t lower the boom on those guys that ran off like
a bunch of scalded dogs. He said, “I’ll go in the room there with
you.” He desperately wanted him and me to get together, so we could
have gifts, because he knew that I understood a certain amount about
them, and I’d listen to him. Whatever he said would go. If he wanted
written, it would be written—no problem. Never could get it. 

	So, he said, “I’ll go in there with you.”

	Oh, Lord, I wish I’d a been down there to go in with him. I
would’ve said, “Bill, let’s you and me go in.” 

	Maybe he’ll tell me to get out. Fine by me. 

	“Let’s go in.” 

	Nah, they didn’t want even that. No, the last I hear is this guy
that, you know, played me for a sucker, moved to Calgary now, another
Latter Rain guy. So full of arrogance, to be absolutely pitiful. He’s
going to lead two million people to the Millennium. Ho, ho, ho, he gets
up in the pulpit, he said, “I’ve got an interpretation in tongues
written out here. Who’s going to give a message in tongues?” 

	Nobody gave a message, so he said, “I’ll just read it anyway.” 

	And people sit there thinking the man has one clue to Bro. Branham? You
know that guy wouldn’t even qualify in a bucket of puke. I’m not
being mean about it; I am just telling him, merciful God. People say
they believe this Message and haven’t got a clue to vindication.
‘Vindication’ means: ‘This is it and there ain’t nothing else,
take it or leave it. Like it or lump it. Live or die. Sink or swim’.

 	Unless you’ve got that attitude, brother/sister, you don’t have
what I believe Bro. Branham was here talking about. 

 26.	[50]	…He said, notice, in vain do they worship me,
teaching…discrepancies for doctrine.”

	Now these people are the manifested epistles of God. They’re not
worshipping in vain. They’re teaching the truth. These others are
worshipping in vain; teaching the doctrine of discrepancy, the doctrine
of men, the doctrine of creeds, teaching that to be the Word of God,
when it has nothing to do with the Word of God. 

	Complete… Reject…adding or taking a Word. Now, do these people at
all understand that they’re believing and they’re worshipping
according to doctrine? See? Identifies them. We come along and say,
“Bro. Branham, thy vindication said the events leading to the Rapture,
are the Lord himself, Jesus, (That’s Jeshua, Jehovah Savior, not the
Lamb. The one that went from the Pillar of Fire to His Own Son.) left
His Own Son, raised him, put him on the mercy seat behind Him, was now
on the Throne. That’s the one you’re dealing with. Why would you
want to deal with Jesus?” 

	He said, “I don’t know anything except the Father tells me, and I
can’t do anything unless He let’s me.”

27.	That’s like the joke Bro. Branham liked to tell about the guy that
was overseas. It was a joke he told. I’ll tell it to you. I think I
told it. I am sure I told you before, but it’s a joke worth telling.
It’s a good joke. So, this guy didn’t have any religion. He was
nothing from nowhere. So, they said, “We’re going to hit the
trenches; over the top tonight at midnight. It’s going to be that most
of you may come back, desperately wounded or dead. And you better have
some kind of peace with God and faith. That’s what I’d advise
you.” 

	This guy didn’t know where to go. So, he went to the Catholic Church.
He got some indoctrination. And sure enough the day came when they had
to go to the top of the trenches for something like the Battle of
Balaclava. “Into the jaws of death, into the gates of hell rode the
five hundred,” but not all came back. 

	Well, the poor guy was up there, and he felt something trickle down his
side. You can get shot and not even know it—those high-speed bullets.
He looked down, and he found blood. He was telling the story to a friend
of his. How he went over the top and what it felt like and how he got
shot. The guy was a Catholic. And he said, “I suppose you said some
Hail Mary’s quickly?” 

	He said, “Shucks no. I don’t go to no secretary. I go right to the
boss.” [Congregation Laughs] [End of side one of audio tape.]

	It’s not a nasty joke; it’s the truth.

28.	Why would you, when you have vindication so plainly vivid and the
Word of God so plainly given, that you just can’t get rid of all your
feelings and all your emotions, and everything else, and say, “Listen,
a Bible is a Bible, a spade is a spade, flannels flannel, cotton is
cotton, peonies are peonies, and zinnias are zinnias? 

	People just go wacky from being intelligent, sane people. Mush head,
cotton head. You can’t build with that, brother/sister. You ain’t
going nowhere with that. This is the only Message that has life. And the
life has been proven, and they turned It down. “And they crucified to
themselves the Son of God a fresh.” How can they say and dare to try
to worship God? 

	And you can only worship and serve God through a prophet. Bro. Branham
said, and he said it so correctly, I said that to a fellow that suppose
to be a Christian, a dentist. It floored him; he wouldn’t believe it
if I took it out of the Bible: Deuteronomy 18. They can’t do it. Not
when his wife runs around with slacks and haircut, and everything else.
I don’t care if he’s educated. Pfftt on his education. The old gal
that washes clothes over a washboard, with three tapes, is way better
off than the guy with half a dozen university degrees can fill your
teeth and do this and do that. I’d sooner have somebody fill my heart.

	Not a lot of emotion and guess so and froth, with the solid vindicated
Word of Almighty God that I believe, that He said in my day. This day is
the different day from all ages. 

29.	This is the day when the two spirits are so close, poured upon all
flesh, sons and daughters prophesying; every manifestation. Maybe
ninety-nine percent is all of the devil. We haven’t seen anything yet,
I suppose, of what we’re going to see by way of these false things
coming on the earth. But brother/sister, listen to me, no matter what
comes, close your eyes and know, anything from this point on is a
counterfeit.

	People say, “God, I’m praying and fasting. Make me this and make me
that.” 

	Oh, stop that nonsense. “God make me so strong with your Word that
nothing matters. I’ve got the correct revelation, thereby do I worship
thee, because Thou art the Word. I’m a part of the Word” See?

	Now Jesus said it himself. Now, if he said it two thousand years ago,
what about today? Hebrews 6: And I’m going to tell you then: the mule
will outwork the horse any day. 

30.	Well, we’ve gone far enough today. Who know what happens tomorrow,
maybe nothing. But we’ll just kind of put this down here, where I end
up. 

	So, all right. Seed of discrepancy; seed of discrepancy. Different from
the pattern. Evil in the most sin-insidious way; trying to take over,
refusing to recognize the sovereignty of Almighty God. The church has
come full bloom to the place where the church is sovereign. The pope
doesn’t care two bits about the God he says he represents and the
Christ he’s suppose to be here for. He’s in Mariolatry, he’s in
idolatry. He doesn’t care two bits to sell your soul into hell.
That’s his job.

	No church is any different. The discrepancy, the difference, is there.
I’m so glad that that’s what caught my attention. How are these
people doing these things? It’s reserved for the true child of God in
gifts and ministries and proper order. And then Bro. Branham taught,
“Anointed Ones at the End Time”. and I knew the razor blade
difference. 

31.	The greatest error is one Word off. Now I want to ask you a
question: “If the greatest error is one Word off, when William Branham
brought the pure and perfect Word, the same as Paul did, do you think
maybe there’s a possibility that someone in our ranks will rise up and
deceive just about everybody?” 

	A lot of people got fooled by Shelly. You can get fooled by him and
some of the preachers running around the country. I’m going to tell
you one thing: you never were set straight in the first place. Why not
give the Word of God a chance, buy full acceptation, and see what Life
comes forth—and what comes forth this last hour? 

	Well, let us rise and be dismissed. All right.

	 Heavenly Father, we come to you this morning hour. We thank you for
your kindness and your mercy which you’ve extended to us that we have
this day that You’ve given us, Lord, and this hour, that we come
together to worship You. But above all, Lord, it would be very
insensitive of us, and very ridiculous, for us to come here to worship
You, if we did not worship You in Spirit and in truth. We’d be like
those citizens in the time of 1 Corinthians, who came together, and they
left worse than when they came. And that’s how we would be. And this
morning it’s the same thing. If I’ve taught these people error, and
steered them anyway whatsoever from the truth, then they’re in worse
shape than when they came. And I’m in worse shape because I’m adding
insult to injury continuously. 

	But, Lord, we’ve said very little concerning Your Word as pertaining
to doctrine. But we’ve set forth what does constitute the basis for
the reality of true doctrine, which is Your vindicated prophet, which we
know come only very, very irregular times. Great junctures. And we’re
happy, Lord, that we know the truth, and the truth has set us free. And
we pray You’ll confirm Your Word to us. 

	May we be faithful witnesses all the time, in our thinking, in our
speaking, so, whether we confer with strangers or we’re conferring
with each other or within our own household, Lord, we are only
conferring on the basis of a truly revealed Word, filling out hearts and
our minds with that Word, and thereby, also, putting on the garment, the
wedding garment, without which no one can enter into the Wedding Supper,
where the others are left wailing, gnashing their teeth in the Great
Tribulation, too late understanding, because they were of the crowd that
always looked back, and always looked forward, but never stood there to
know what was in their hour. 

	So, we commend ourselves unto You, Father, heal the sick amongst us.
Give grace to those Lord who are going through hard trials and times.
Strengthen each believer, Lord, as never before. And may the God of all
grace be praised as never before—the Christ be exalted.

	Help us, Father. We know that You have helped us by giving us a prophet
and the true Word. And now each day we believe that You add to that Word
upon Word. One day we know that that stature, that measure, shall be
reached, Lord. It has to, because that is the Word of the living
God—right up to Headship. 

	So, we thank you for all of this, Lord, commending ourselves to safe
journey, mercy, whatever else is needed. Unto the King eternal,
immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be all power, honor, and glory
through Jesus Christ our blessed Savior. Amen.

	“Take the Name of Jesus with You.”
