All Deceivableness of Unrighteousness - Rexmont

Rather than to take a fresh subject, I'm going to continue elaborating on what we started with on Friday, coming out of the mysteries, which is the mystery of Nicodemus.

You know, repetition is the first rule of pedagogy, and sometimes the thing has to be said many times, various ways, before it really takes hold. So I want to continue. Friday and also this morning, and my subject will be all deceitfulness of unrighteousness. And our thoughts will be the same, but will be dealt with with different scripture and a little more correlation in order to bring out the subject more decisively than previously. You know, we can never get too much scriptural information because faith, Here's a revelation. And faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. And hearing is understanding. Over in the book of Revelation here, from which I'm not going to read it this minute, but just take a scripture. I

think it's around that 19th chapter, if I can just find it.

Oh, it is here. Sometimes I have a very poor memory. All the time I have a poor memory, but sometimes it is poorer than others. And this could be one of those times when it's much poorer than others. I know it's in the Bible.

I just haven't run across it. How about that? If I started quoting it to you, someone would be able to quote it back to me.

Better send it off a while, Jack. Might be a while getting that.

I want to get it here because if I read it, then I'll be exactly right. And if I'm not exactly right, then I'll have a problem. Oh, yeah, here it is here.

For I testified to every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of his book. If any man should add unto these things, God shall add him to praise, and so on. Now, the Bible says to hear is to understand. Eight chapters of the book of John. Now, this book has been a sealed book. John was told to seal it up so the thunders could not come forth. But to hear it would be to open it. Now, that's what happened. In the 7th verse of Revelation 10, the book was opened, therefore it was opened by revelation. Now, it tells you here that this book can now be heard. The word can be revealed. And it's when this revelation comes that we must be very particular not to add to it or take from it. Now, remember also... In one of these back scriptures here, I just can't put my finger on it. I looked a while, I'd find it, I know. It mentions, feel not up the book. Revelation 10 said, feel it. And then a few chapters down it says, don't you feel it again. So there's a time in there when the book is open. And when that book is open, there can be no feeling of it. The whole thing comes into absolute perfect view. And it's at this time that if you add to it, The plates are added to you. And there's only one time that can happen. And that's at the end time because the plates are the six seals. Three and a half years tribulation. The only time it can happen. And God is not going to bring about a private resurrection to put into the tribulation everybody that ever added to that book. There's only one time. Furthermore, there is only one time. Their name can be taken off the book. And that was in Psalm 69. When they crucified Jesus, he said, take their name off the book. Now, you won't find that in the New Testament. That's Old Testament 69 Psalm. And in Hebrews 6, at the last once for all enlightenment, that's the word of God, which is all of it, the people crucified themselves, the Son of God, afraid. See? Which is to crucify the Word and to turn it down. So we thank the Lord that the book is open. Now, what does that do? Since faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God, then faith comes by a revelation of the Word. So therefore, the greater the revelation, the greater the faith. Now remember, that faith is not basically... to move a mountain. That faith is not basically to raise the dead. That faith is not basically to have great healing campaigns. That faith is basically Noah walked. He not walked with God and was not because God took him. And how can two walk together except they be agreed? And how can you and I be agreed with the word unless our revelation is one with the one that gave it? So therefore, we have an open book for a perfect faith. And that's what Jesus is looking for. Will the Son of Man find faith in the coming? Sure. And the bride, no place else. Why? Because we have the revelation. So we praise the Lord that the more we know the Word, every facet of it. Now, if you were hiring a man for a job, what man would you get? You'd get the man that knew that job as well as he knows his hands. Now, I said this morning, at the end time, people aren't going to know their left hand from their right hand spiritually. In fact, they're so deluded, they believe about themselves exactly what is true. We'll talk about this afternoon. What a shape man's in. You know that? Everybody's sure, and 100 % accept the bride. And the only place she is sure is when she really knows each step of that worship. Well, this much I do know, because it lines up with scriptures after scriptures. half the scriptures, and no one can take you from it. See, up to this point, there's certain things that we don't know yet. One of the great controversies, of course, is the tent. Brother Branham Chattagore, he said about that tent, it slides into the scripture the same as this vision does. What's the vision? That sword in his hand. Somewhere that's in the Bible. When I can put my hand on it, I won't care what anybody thinks about that vision. I believe I'll know it. You might not agree, but this is my stand. It's in there because Brother Branham said it was. I'm understanding. But he said, every vision's in that word. And that was one of it. The sword vision is there. I found it. Because he said that sword was a real sword. It's right in his hand. And he cried in prophecy. He said, bring on your holy vesture with the word of God standing by. And that's absolutely 1 Corinthians 15, which is the investiture of the word of God that can put that person right in that place where he must be in that bride. Everything is in this word, the prophet brought it. And it's going to be revealed and revealed and revealed until there's absolutely no doubt where we stand. No jotting, no tilling. I don't know how you feel, but I am convinced that this bride... will positively stand on a word in such a way nothing will shake her. She'd be like Abraham. You're old, you're white, so forget it. I don't forget anything. He said, if there's anything I forget, I forget everything but that word. And here's where we stand on it. Now, many things haven't come into view yet. They'll be here. They'll be here. Because they are here. He came to reveal all the mysteries. That's right. So I'm confident that before many years, Before any day, there will be a real revelation of all those things and some of the things that you stand in doubt of and don't understand, the word will open and there it will be. And whatever's coming in the resurrection, something's coming. I don't know what it is, but you better believe something is coming there because you can't read the book of John and not know that something is there. Remember that those disciples never recognized Jesus after his first name. They only knew it was Jesus by what he did.

Something I don't want to do. It's in there. You say, well, why don't you guess? I'm not in the guessing business. It's in here. Now, either God will show us ahead of time, or he'll reveal it, and it comes to pass, and we'll say, that's exactly it. Why didn't I see it? Well, it just wasn't time to see it.

But it's all here. So, therefore, there is never any need to trust me. As I said this morning, may God save us from trusting him. I'm a regular trustee. That's why I'm preaching to myself, not you. Let's preach to the worst of the whole world. We don't need to be. We're a little bit overzealous, that's all, because we're so afraid someone will get deceived. Now, we know that the elect cannot be deceived. But remember this. There could not be a judgment if there wasn't some place in there where man's responsible a whole lot more than the election seems to let on. You bet. We are responsible as ministers to teach that word and all, but we shouldn't talk about it. That's the thing. Just let it be. as quiet as we can because people are going to differ, have different ideas. And Brother Dan said that's exactly the way it had to be. He said, if I didn't have those men around me, I would know I didn't have the right ministry. Now we say, well, if I had those men around me, I'm sure I got the wrong one. I'm sorry. I'm very sorry for that kind of thinking. That's out.

That's out. You've got to have these things to perfect us and bring us to the place. As I said this morning or the other night concerning the fact that... One of the hard lessons I learned is don't try to push people ahead. Look at these preacher makers. Oh, boy. If you ever saw a sick thing, it's preacher makers. Now, that doesn't go in a small way. Only that goes in a big way. Theological seminaries, cemeteries. Boy, you talk about a man. These preacher makers. Worst thing in the world. See? There's no place to put. If a man's got a gift. God will make room for him by that gift. What the trouble is, too many people are out of their calling. Sure it's right. I'll tell you, I have so many doors closed to me and no place to go as it were for years, but I held steady and held steady till God put me in that corner where I was supposed to be. And like Brother Branham, I can say I've got more friends now than I ever had and more places to go, more invitations, more everything. Why? Because I had to wait, not put forward. But wait, and that's a hard thing to learn, is doing God a service apart from his will. It is. You know, you get so busy thinking you should do all the good things in this world before. There comes a time, brothers and sisters, when that person has got to rely on God himself. And everything you do will only hinder the kingdom of God. I don't know if Peter's taking up that sword in the wrong place. Wrong sword. Wrong sword in the wrong place. Cut the poor guy's ear off. And a lot of folks cut the guy's ear off, the hearing off, you know. They wield the sword wrong. Oh, it can't be that big. But thank God the book's open. It is open. Amen. Nobody's going to steal it. It's going to get clearer and clearer. And these things, if you don't understand yet, that's how they're going to come into view. A lot of things I don't understand yet. Can't praise them. But you know what? They're there. They're there and they're placeable. And brother Dan said, don't reach and struggle for it. I've often illustrated that years ago. You know, the stream doesn't reach for the light. The camera focuses to the stream. God will not focus to us in the sense that we demand and make him do it. The stream must stay quiet, let God focus, and he's on good time. He's the man that's running the projector. And when we do that, just wait patiently. These things will all come out. That's true. Even some of the hard experiences we go by, if we're just relying on the Lord, that's a hard thing for me to do many times because I'm one of those jittery guys and I often think that maybe I ought to do something about the situation myself. And no one should do anything about a situation except what God wants me to do about it. Oftentimes you've just got to wait, wait, wait. Capturing that period right now may be very... heartbreaking at times, very disconcerting. But if we fight our battles, there's one thing God can't fight them for. Because when he fights, he's going to get all the glory and the honor. And not that we want to take the honor and glory. No, we don't. We just want to get ahead of God. And so, a little nervous. But the Lord's sure good to us all. We thank God for it. And things are going to come clear and clear. So let's not ever doubt and ever worry. Worry just crowds the mind. Just stay very calm and sweet. And God will work everything out in a perfect way for us. All these little things that are hidden right now, they'll come to light. And then we'll know. And then we'll feel so silly that we ever fuss about it. I always get a check when I emphasize too hard a certain thing which is in doubt. Now, each one of us is getting more and more crystallized the way we're going. Now, don't mistake me here. There's no doubt in my mind that you and I and all of us are getting more and more confirmed on the points we believe in. But I say this, there are certain things we'd better watch ourselves on. Now you follow me. Certainly what they are, we don't need to mention because there's only two or three of them, but we've got to wait until that thing comes into view. Now what about if we're all the time waiting for a deer to come through the ticket and we're all hepped up on it, so hepped up on it that... Suddenly we hear a noise and a cow comes through and we kill the cow. Now, that's bad business.

And I'm afraid, for my sake and for others, I always like to hold back, to be careful, because we just don't know something we don't know. What we do know, though, let's major on that, stick with it, and get more and more factors so that they come in life. Then what we don't know comes in. In a short little while, just like a snap, we'll get that revelation that maybe we've been so slow on these revelations, this will just come like that. And we're right, ready to go. Because that bride has got to be in that word 100%. Now, let's turn to 2 Thessalonians again, on this book that's become unsealed. And one of the great unsealings, the great mystery, is the mystery of iniquity. Like we said already,

The devil being worshipped as God through the church system. Okay, 2 Thessalonians 8

-10.

Then shall that wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the Spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming. Even him whose coming is after the working of Satan, with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness and indemnity, because they receive not the love of the truth. that they might be saved. Now, there's no language as the language of the Bible. There is no language as pictorial. Actually, the word is devastating in its power of description. Notice those words in the text. All deceivableness of unrighteousness. All deceivableness of unrighteousness. Just hearing them. does something to you. It makes you feel the awful depth of treachery of a rebellious church that ends up in worshiping the devil and brings it all unto God. It's a fantastic phrase. All deceitfulness of unrighteousness. Something in here, the end time, that makes people absolutely sure they're worshiping God.

Here's the man in. Here's the king on the throne. And what it is? They're worshiping the devil, actually believing it's God. All deceivableness of unrighteousness. How can the church do this terrible thing? Where did it all begin? What is the history behind it? Now, notice, first of all, it speaks of deception. Then it speaks of unrighteousness. It puts them both together. So that this becomes the trap that leads to the actual worship of Satan by the church. Now let's get this straight. This is the church. It is not communism. It is not a civic or a federal or an international government by force or by politics. It is the church in a complete takeover and she herself is worshiping the devil. to a church system, as Brother Branham said, just like when the devil got into those Jews in the days of Jesus.

Did you hear that said? That's what he said. Just like when the devil got in those Jews. Now listen, you know that was the only church system God even looked on. There wasn't any other church system. Nothing else. This was the whole thing. God had no respect down in Corinth or down in Ephesus or over there in Ireland or any place in the world. There was just no place but Israel. And here that system was so set up that they actually thought they were worshipping God and they killed the very God that is manifest in flesh because that was God manifest in flesh and took to death the very Jehovah in flesh that they said they worshipped. See? And he said, you are of your father the devil, and the works of your father you do. He was a liar and a murderer from the beginning, and he said, you are fulfilling that right now. Here they were, claiming to worship God, and were actually the pawns of the devil, and their worship didn't mean a thing, in vain you worship me, because it was directed towards a world system. It's the church. Now notice what verse 3 says. Let no man deceive you, for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first. And also in verse 10, it says, that day might be saved. Now, it's the church that has to fall away, and the church is the only institution whereby you can come into a thing. And be saved. Now I'm using that in the best sense of the word. I'm using the church here now. As the true body of Christ. Because remember the Bible says. The church is the body of Christ. And the church is filled by Christ. So I'm using it in the true sense of the word. If you are born again. There's only one place you can end up. And that is in the church. See. Where your salvation is. Now let's take a look at that. In 1st Corinthians chapter 12 and verse 13.

For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body. What body? The body of the Lord Jesus Christ. What body? The church. By one Spirit are we baptized into it. Now, compare that with Romans 8 and 9, the last habit. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is not of his. So therefore, if you have the Spirit of Christ, you are of him and you are in the church. And if you're not in that church, you're not born again. And if you are born again, you are in that church. Now you see, this is that thing that God put here on the earth that's going to fall. See? Until he's got to call a bride out of it. Ephesians, the first chapter,

verses 22 to 23, it

says, And hath put all things under his feet, Jesus' feet, and gave Jesus. to be the head over all things to the church, the church which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all and in all. See, this is what God meant as the one soul -saving institution in the world which would be the true church of Jesus Christ. See, and since this fall.

Where's your safety now, see? There isn't any. Notice also it's the church. We go to 1 Timothy.

See, many people don't think of the church. They say communism. That's not true. 1 Timothy 4, verse 2 and 3 verses. Now the Spirit speaketh expressing. In the latter times, some shall depart from the faith. What faith? The Word. There's no faith apart from the Word.

You look up that word faith and believe in the Bible. To believe means to put credit in a spoken word apart from any physical evidence.

Right. Look how fortunate we are today that God sent a man vindicated. What pity God took upon this sin -cursed world. He could have just sent his word and said, I'll judge you by it because you're not believing. But you know what he did? He sent a vindicated prophet so we know exactly the revelation of that word. What mercy God gave to us. Now, they'll depart from the faith and do what? Give him heed to seducing spirits. What did John call those spirits? The spirit of error, he said. Wasn't it? Wrong word. The doctrine of devil. What

does God call a perverted word? What does God call a thing that is apart from a true revelation? The doctrine of devil. Then who are you worshiping if you've got a devilish doctrine?

The answer is evident. The devil. Can anybody deny that and say I worship God though I've got a devilish doctrine? What insanity. But this age is insane. Make them don't even know. Now, speaking lies in apostasy. Weapon, sheep, clothing.

Hypocrite. Speaking lies. What's a hypocrite? He's a fellow that wears a mask. He's pretending he's something he's not. So what does he do? He pretends he's a Christian. He pretends he's got something real. But what has he got? He hasn't got the word. He's got a doctrine of devils. But he acts as though he were a Christian. You hear what I said? No wonder my spirit gets hard when I keep bugging the people. What's the day in which she lives? Well, for some meany -mouthed, sweet -talking guy. I'm going to say it again. I'll say it a million times more if I have to. Eve was not raped. She wasn't raped. She's seduced. She wanted to do what she did. She liked the idea. She was sweet -talked, flattered, lied to her until she was only too happy to come running. My lover, my sweetheart, and her husband out there.

Doctrine of devils. What doctrine did the devil feed her that day? The word of God perverted. See where we stand? Don't say we worship God when we're outside of his word. There's no mystery anymore to this thing at the end time. It's crystal clear.

Now, he's forbidding to marry, to abstain from him which God hath created, to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. You

won't be deceived if you believe and know the truth. Remember, knowledge of the believing depends upon knowledge of truth. In fact, as I told you before, that word K in the Greek should be translated even many more times than N. So therefore, receive the thanksgiving of them which gain even knowing the truth.

You really don't know the truth if you switch a thousand times in what it's all about. Okay? We must not be deceived. All right. Remember, also, the 18th chapter in

verse 8. I tell you, he will avenge in speedily. Somebody once said that this word avenge means restore. I looked it up in the Greek. It doesn't say that. But I like the idea anyway. I'll restore them speedily. Amen. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? Not when he comes to put his feet in the Mount of Olives, he sure won't. When

he's in the air, that's the only faith he'll find. Why? Because of the end time polluted word. See? God will not accept a man's faith unless it's built upon a revelation, and faith is a revelation. See? Now that's proof. Brother Branham taught in the church ages, and he put in the church age book. He said, if you ever get a revelation that by his stripes you're healed, you don't need to worry, it's all over. When you get a revelation, you've got the Holy Ghost, it's all over. I remember that's how I maintained. When I received that revelation, it was all over. I didn't care what they did. Roll me over a barrel and I had to fall. Put me through the fiery furnace. That didn't matter. It was over. I knew it. That was it. It's a revelation. Now, also with that, we turn to 2 Timothy, the

third chapter, 1 to 9. Know this, that also, know also this, that in the last days, D -A -Y -S. Now, what days are those? In the last days, said Peter. I'm going to pour my spirit upon every double -edged sword so that your son and your daughter's father's eyes, your own men's eyes, and your young men's eyes, nothing older than him, and upon my men's servants, and upon my women's servants, I'll pour my spirit those last perilous days when the anointing of God is upon everybody and everything. You say, how can that be? It's God anointed a jackass to talk in tongues. And he'll anoint a natural brute beast of the end time to talk in tongues and get visions and dreams and everything else. Paratimes are going to come. What are those paratimes? Men should be lovers of their own selves. Right off the bat it tells you. Now listen. Men shall be lovers of their own selves. Hold your finger there one second.

Turn back to Acts 20.

Paul speaking. Also of your own selves shall men arise. seeking perverse things to draw away disciples after them. What

does it say? They love their own selves, not the Word. Oh, I love the prophet. Take the people to the prophet.

Why not? The prophet and the message are the same thing. There's no such thing as a messenger without a message. And there's no such thing as a... Okay, no such thing as a messenger without a message. No such thing as a messenger without a messenger. It's the same thing. And the word more is... In the Hebrew for former reign, it's teacher or teaching. And

if Paul could say my gospel and Moses' law, then we can say Brian's message. Nothing

wrong with it. Something wrong with it, the devil doesn't believe it. Loving themselves. Covetous. What's a covetous person? He wants something you've got. What do these men do? They draw disciples to themselves.

There's only one way you can disciple anybody, and that's by the word of God if you want them in Christ. If you want them for yourself, then leave off the word. How about a bolster? Ha! Very bold. Don't think I haven't got a revelation, too. Or don't think, or they tell you, if you listen to anybody, listen to me because I've got the real revelation. Oh, boy, you can see why I'm getting a little bit hard on that kid, indeed. I hear so many preachers running around the country saying, oh, they've got it, they've got it, they've got it all.

There's not one of them vindicated. I can't tell you that I know something. And you listen to me. That's the foolish thing in the world. Directing men's lives and putting into them.

Blasphemers. Disobedient to parents. Unthankful. Unholy. Without natural affection. Truth -breaker. False accuser. Incontinent. Fear. Despise of those of the good. Traitor. Heady. high -minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God. Who is God? He's the Word. Having a form of godliness. So these are not atheistic, communistic traitors to the homeland. These are traitors in the church, traitors to Jesus Christ, posing as spiritual godly people. They've got only a form of it, denying the power thereof. From such... Turn away. And that's right. They do deny the power of the word to transform the believer right now by putting on the inner vestiture. See, I got it. They haven't got it. They're naked. They're unclothed. And God says they must be clothed. See? They turn from the power of God. From section 8. For of this sort are they which creep in the houses and leave captive silly women. Who are the women? The churches. I'm not talking just now about women that are silly. They'll send you down with a bunch of silly men, too. Men are the silly things that are led by silly women. These are churches led away with divers' luck. Pleasure. Divers' pleasure. Lots of pleasure. Now, they'll prove it to you. Ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. See? Now, as Janice and Jambres with good Moses told you, these also resist the truth. Men of corrupt minds. That's what Paul said they'd be. The mind would be corrupted. How? Through subtlety, through deceit, wooing away, winning away from that Word of God, which alone is able to bring you unto salvation. There's a push in redemption. Remember, we're all waiting for redemption of the body, and there's only one way to get redemption. That's through restoration by the revealed Word of Almighty God. No other way. There isn't any other way. Christ the mystery of God revealed. Read those three ways that Brother Brannish says. Now listen. As Janice and Jambres with Moses. Who was Moses? The man with the word. Who were these men? Men of power.

But away from the word. So do these resist truth. What resists truth? These men at the end time. Men of corrupt mind. Corrupt how? By the mind receiving the word other than the prophet's word. Now it says here. Reprobate concerning faith. That's what we're teaching. This is why you need that word. You are reprobate concerning faith if your faith is not based upon a true revelation.

There's a strange thing going around the country. Some preachers preach that the woman makes it by the man. She doesn't need to pray anymore. Here's a tape. Read about it. She's got a husband message. That makes it. Just a portion. That's wrong.

Now she may believe it. She may be sweet and sincere. She may be the best wife in the world. But just supposing that is not what the word of God really says, then her faith is reprobate.

You think God would take a reprobate faith? No more than he would reprobate men.

This is in the church. Not a bunch of commas, not a bunch of reds. Okay? But they shall proceed no further, for their folly shall be made manifest unto all, as was Janice and Jambert. In other words, The true bride will still make her exodus and they'll be there with their snakes.

They'll still be there. There's signs and wonders and their power. But the bride will be gone. Why? Because she does not have reprobate faith. Now, there's only two kinds of faith. Elected faith and reprobate faith.

She'll have elected faith. Enoch walked with God and was not. Now, let's go a little further. Let's go to 1 John, 2nd chapter, 18 and 19. Little children, it's the last time. There again, same period of time. As you have heard Antichrist shall come. He said you've heard he will come. Listen here, little children. Even now there are many Antichrists, many right now, waiting for the day of the great big one. Lost to the devils now. One day the big one will get here. Whereby we know it's the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us. For if they had been of us, they no doubt would have continued with us. But they went out. That they might be made manifest. They were not of us. The very same thing he says in 1 John 3 here. They would not stick with that word. Why? They wanted their own camp, their own glory, their own ideas, their own following.

Not the Bible, brothers and sisters. Now listen. These are antichrists because they didn't stay with the word. To stay with the word. It's what we want. 2 Corinthians 11, chapter 2 and 3. I'm jealous of you that God needs jealousy. For I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin of Christ. But I fear that I won't be able to make the grave, said Paul, because before Eliezer gets Rebecca to Isaac, some wolf in sheep clothing... may come galloping across the desert and make cheap sides at her with broken contention. And she spread her back those eyelids and the first thing she saw. Now

that's exactly right. I fear lest enemy as the serpent beguile thee through his subtlety so your mind should be corrupted. What's going to be corrupted? The mind. Not her moral. Her mind. Her thinking. Her understanding. And thereby revelation. Because remember, you cannot receive anything from God by revelation until first of all you take the thing that God's handing you. If you take them up to your prophet Elijah, then you're on a good way to understanding about him. But you'll never understand about him until first of all you take him. Then when it comes to his message, you've got to take his message and then you'll understand it. You've got to receive the thing first. You can't build a wall up. See? Now. Here is where we stand. The mind received the wrong word, and therefore she would be corrected. Now also, that's the church thing. Let's go to Matthew 13.

It's taken a while to prove it's the church, but this is necessary to do it. So many people are mixed up on this. A lot of folks know it is the church, but they don't know the proof. We want the proof. Okay. Matthew 13, 24. Another parable putting forth unto himself. The king of heaven is likened unto a man who sowed good seed in the field. While men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. And when the blade was sprung up and dropped forth, it then appeared to tares also. Now you know the parable. Verse 31. Another parable put on them, saying, The king of heaven is likened to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field, which is least of all seeds. When it is grown, it is the greatest among herds. And becomes a tree. So the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches. Now that's Babylon. With every foul bird in the branches. Now this is the kingdom of God. And remember the church makes the kingdom. This is the church. All God's got to work with. A dirty mess. Wrong trance in it. Foul birds in the branches. Then he says another terrible state. The king of heaven is like a woman who took three measures of meal, 11 until the whole was 11. Now, you know as well as I do, that's the Trinitarian doctrine and dogma of the Roman Catholic Church. And one day the church is going to be nothing but the absolute Trinitarian dogma. There'll be nobody else that believes it. They'll believe the whole thing. Why? Because the mark of the beast... is in the forehead and the hand, and that mark in the forehead means that you will believe exactly what that church says, and you'll do what that church tells you to do. The whole church, the bride will be gone, see? The bride will be gone. She'll be one great big Trinitarian mess of heaven. In other words, the whole church will be an absolute sin and darkness. It's

the church, brother, sister. Okay. Revelation 18, 1 to 5.

Another, after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power, and the earth was lighted with his glory. He cried with a mighty voice, strong voice, saying, Babylon the greatest fallen is fallen, and become the habitation of devils, the hold of every foul spirit, and the cage of every unclean and hateful bird. And all the nations have drunk up the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her. And the mercy of the earth will wax rich to the abundant delicacy. And I heard another voice then saying, Come out of her, my people. Come out of the church. Rot the mist the church is in. Be not partakers of her sins. That you receive not her praise. Now remember, God judges every generation at the last generation.

Like he saves up his wrath. Then he pours it out at the end time. That's right. So at the end time, come out of her because she's the hold of every foul bird. And when you come out of her, there's nothing left but tears and leaven and foul birds. The whole thing's a mess. Nothing left. Get away, men. For her sins have reached unto heaven and God has remembered her in exceed. Reward her even as she rewarded you and doubled unto her double according words in the cup. which he hath filled to her double. In other words, at the end time, God is going to pour out all the wrath of all the ages. Now, remember, he poured out a couple of wrath upon Israel. Remember that? In their great tribulation, when Titus came and he was scattered? But this time, the whole world gets it. It will be true and Gentile. His brother, Branson, and that sixth field, the earth is purged, the church is purged, and Israel is purged. It's going to be a complete clean -up job. Now, This is the church. Now that we can see so many scriptures pointing to the fact that this is the church, we cannot but agree. It is the church system of Christianity, not the Muslim. No, not the Hindu, not the Taoist, not the philosopher. It's the Christian church that will lead to a universal worship of Satan who has deceived them into thinking that he is God. and that they're actually worshiping God. Now, listen. You say, what about the atheistic countries? Brother Banner said there aren't many atheists. Russia is run by a little group of people. And I talked to Dr. Bruggenbueh last summer over in Switzerland. He said that many Christian businessmen who are scientists have gone to Russia. And in Russia, the astrophysicists have got a revival of religion amongst them because they say there has got to be a God. Now, right away, everybody rejoices. And they say, oh, that's what Judy Dixon said. Oh, my. They're going to turn to God. Sure they are. Sure they are. To walk right to the trap of the devil.

Oh, I know that sounds pessimistic. But if I become a pessimist, believe in the word of God, then bring on the sour grapes. Because

I'm going to stick with the word of God. There is no place in the Bible that says there's going to be a worldwide revival. It says there's going to be a worldwide turning. to the devil that they think is God. Now, brothers and sisters, if I've got to lose my mind to such a place that I'm going to believe the devil is God, well, please liquidate me now. Get me out of the picture now. I

know that's foreign to people's thinking, but remember that's what God said is going to happen. And remember, he's the one who said it, who said concerning Adam, for this cause only shall the man leave father and mother. And the father and mother of Adam was God. And he left God to the woman and told God to do the people, see, leave God for the church. Because

they do this in the church system. Because God said, I'm on the outside. I stand at the doorknob. And if any man hear my voice, come out of her. And they will not do it. Why? Because they're married to the church. They're happy having their fornication. And there it always is. Now, we are ready to look at the first word. This is the church. All deceitfulness of unrighteousness within the church. Boy, some place to have it. I think that was the mafia, Nettie, or the underground, who cuts plants. What they say about it, I don't know what about it. I've never been to one. Or Russia somewhere, but it's not. It's the church. Okay. Second Thessalonians again.

Second chapter. Now. All deceivableness. All of it. Now, what does deceivableness mean? It simply means deceit or deception. Some kind of deceit. In the Greek, it means delusion. Because a deceived person is a deluded person.

Now, you know, that sounds kind of funny, doesn't it? If you see what happens, we all hate those hard words. If you owe that brother or sister a deceit. No, they're deluded. Well, now, Brother Bill, I wouldn't say that quite so hard because I think that's very unfair. I would just say deceived. Well, my dear little honey child, the word deceived in the Bible is deluded.

They're deluded. He said, that makes them some kind of a nut. I don't care what it makes them. Either you or me. Let God be true and every man a liar.

You see how quick you can get fooled by the devil? Oh, I wouldn't put it that way. That's what the devil's doing. Oh, you'll die twice. I wouldn't put it that way, honey.

Delusion. means to believe something that is contrary to reality and thereby be deceived. It's to believe something contrary to reality. A man that is deluded has less reality. He can't stand reality. That's why he gets deluded.

So, delusion means to believe. Believe. Delusion means to believe. It's in the mind.

It's not out there. It's in here in the mind. What's out there is right. It's what's in here is not right about what's out there.

Now, Paul dropped the word. It was out there. See? What was in their mind was wrong about what was out there, which was Paul's word. Now, had they put the word in their mind, what was in the mind would have been real without what was out there that was real. See? You see? Now,

Now, delusion's a bad thing, but there are degrees and consequences of delusion. In some cases, you just get by with a bad experience. I might illustrate it this way.

Supposing many years ago, when a lot of boys and girls were smokers, you had a $20 bill, and the guy said, Hey, let me see that bill. It's worth more. I don't think it looks right. You don't? No, and I know counterfeit money, and I see it, and I want to tell you that counterfeit. Well, the guy convinces you it's counterfeit, and he convinces everything. You always said you wanted to light a cigar with a $20 bill. Go on ahead. So, you light the $20 bill, light the cigar, and he laughs. He said, ha, ha, good joke on you. I took you. That was a real $20 bill. I wouldn't know fake if I saw. Now you see you're deluded. But that's not too bad. It only cost you $20 to find out.

But what about if you're deluded today, such as when you went out there to pick mushrooms? and you thought they were good, but they were poisonous, and somebody died.

A delusion can be very, very, very, very serious. One time it'll cost you something, see?

Another time it'll cost you everything. Now, at the end time, delusion means death, and there is no recovery. This end time deception of the church. will end up with people taking them out with him and worshiping him, and then they'll be eternally off. The church will perish, just like the Egyptians perished, when God called Israel out of Egypt. Remember that in 18 .5 Revelation? Come out of her, my people, and be not partaken of sin, lest you take her plague. What was the last plague? Death. Death. Absolute death because God is going to destroy them to destroy the earth. And we're going to walk upon the ashes of the wicked. So therefore, at the end time, if we are deceived, there is no hope. Hebrews 6.

End time message. Listen. For it is impossible. Verse 4. It is impossible. As the Greek commentary states, this word does not suggest its heart. This word does not say it's almost impossible. It doesn't say this is critical. It says it is absolutely impossible.

Nothing you can do. Nothing God can do. Nothing you can do. And nothing God will do.

For those who were once for all in the kingdom and have tasted the heavenly gifts partook of the Holy Ghost taste the good word of God and the powers will come. Not if they shall fall away. Having fallen away, it's absolutely impossible to renew them again to repent when that jubilee sounds and they say, I love my master. I want to be a slave. And that fellow takes you to that doorpost and shoves that all to your ear. There is nothing that will get your freedom again. You've heard for the last time and turn it down. It's finished.

Never to be in that bride. Never to be in that millennium. Never to make the first resurrection. It is impossible.

It is too late to learn. Too late to come to knowledge of the truth. It's over. Now, it will be too late then to learn the truth. It is death. The last plague in Egypt was physical death. So now it is spiritual death. The church in all systems goes to their death and the sacrifice that they believed in, even the sacrifice of Christ, will avail nothing. Now remember, there was a sacrifice in Egypt. Right? And absolute tremendous signs and wonders were performed in Egypt and out of Egypt. And neither the sacrifice nor the signs and the wonders took them in because they did not believe the word of God.

Now, this is to help your faith. If you believe that word, you can start feeling real good. Not smug, but real good. Lift up your heads, you gates, and don't be too slow to lift them up. Let the word, the Lord of glory, enter in. Now, the original deception brought death, just like this last day's deception brings death. It's over here in Genesis, the third chapter, in verse 13.

Back to the beginning. That's where we always got to go.

And the Lord said to the woman, What is this thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. She partook. Now then, the word beguile means defeat. Eve was defeated. Right. Eve was defeated. Now, let's digress here. We've come this far. Let's stop a minute and let's remember this, that Eve is a picture of the church because she was the first bride given to the first man. Now remember, Jesus is the last Adam, the second man. The first had a bride. The second has a bride. So let's look at this first bride. Now, trace your history. Genesis 1, 26 and 27.

God said, let's make man in our image. After our likeness. Let them have to be in order to fish the sea. Fowl of the air. Cattle over the earth. Creeping things. So God created man in his own image. In the image of God created he. Him, male and female. created ye then. Here we find a spiritual creation with the male and female as one. She has no identity of her own and she is hidden away in Adam as an unrevealed attribute. Remember, she does not have a name. And

what's this business of people, I'm Methodist, I'm Baptist, I'm Pentecostal, hogwash. You take your husband's name, Christ, there's no other name. She did not have a name except his name. God did not even look at her. He looked at Adam. She was the unrevealed attribute. It was easy. Notice next. Genesis 2 and 7. And Lord God formed man of the dust of the earth and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. And man became a living soul. Notice. The dual spiritual creature is now put into one body of Christ. One body. Not two.

Now, verse 16 proves they're one. The Lord God commanded the man saying of every tree of the garden, thou mayest free me. He was filling him in one body of the flesh. This whole spiritual creation was now placed in one body of flesh. But remember, God still had to breathe into that man the breath of life. In spite of the fact, That Adam was in him.

Just like Brother Brown said. The woman bears a child. There is a spirit body waiting. To take over.

Now remember also. The Bible said. In here. Man became a living soul. That in the Hebrew is plural.

All were in Adam. Everything in Adam. Eve was in Adam. All progeny of God. To come on this earth. Were in him. Now. Let's keep going. Just one. Then. In Genesis 2. 21 to 23, the Lord God called that he seek to fall on Adam. He slept. He took one of his ribs, closed up the flesh instead thereof. And the ribs, which the Lord God had taken from man, made a woman and brought her to the man. Now listen. And Adam said, this is now bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh. She shall be called woman because she was taken out of the man. Taken out of him. God now separated into two bodies with two separate personalities. but with all the feminine attributes placed in him for the special purpose of bringing forth the same original life. It was in both of them. Now, let's look at Ephesians 5 for the mystery.

Beginning at 23. For the husband is the head of the woman, even as Christ is head of the church, and he is the savior of the body. Therefore, as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husband, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church and gave himself rich, that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of the water of the blood, that he might present it to himself a glorious church without any spot or wrinkle, or any such thing, that it should be holy without blemish. So ought men to love their own wives, their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever hates his own flesh, but nourished and cherished it, even as the Lord of the church. For he are members of his body, and especially his own. For this cause shall a man be his father and mother, and they too should be joined unto his wife. and to be joined in Christ. And they too should be one flag. But this is a great mystery that I speak concerning Christ and the church. Now, notice quickly over here, Ephesians 1, 3 to 4. Blessed be the golden father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heaven and in the face of Christ, according as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world. that we should be holy and without blame before him, in love, having predestined us. Now, you'll notice where the brag was. She was preexistent in Christ, the same as he was preexistent in Adam. Now, in him, she was preexistent and foreknown in Christ. And those preexistent and foreknown seeds were in him. and notice where they went when they were separated from him. They went into their own separate bodies just like he went into her separate body. But remember, she was still a part of Adam. See? Definitely was. She was what was in Adam. But she was put in a separate body. That's what our destiny is. In Christ, a priest's destiny was to come down here, As the manifested word of God. Because the thoughts of God. Become words. When they are expressed. And we were in the mind of God. And the thoughts of God. And became expressed in flesh. That brother Branham said. I had a son in me. But he never became expressed. Until through that proper order. In which God saved my life. And then I could have fellowship. Now this brings us even with ease. And this brings us right up where Eve was. As she was an enemy. One creation with him pre -existing. Then put into one body. Then of course she was separated into a second body. And this is where her fall came. She was defeated by the serpent. Right. And she could not be defeated as long as she was in the one body of that flesh. She could not be deceived while she was in one body of the Spirit. But when she was outside of it, she was deceived. Now, brother, sister, get her back into that one body. She can't be deceived. You get that bride back in one body, she can't be deceived. But you get her away from that body, she is deceived. She can be. That's where Eve went. And that's where the church is today. See? It got away from the body of truth. And until it gets back to that body of truth, it lies in a state of deception. Now, notice about Eve.

She believes something that is contrary to the truth. So, therefore, she is deluded. Now, this woman, deluded, is not possessed by a devil. She is not mentally broken down. She is not insane. She is not some retarded creature or some sub -creature that needs a further evolution. She is a perfect, wonderful specimen of mankind. A fine and beautiful person. Reasonable and unassuming. But she is deceived in spite of that. Now you see, that's the way the people are. How can I be deceived? I'm a child of God. I'm a Christian. I know what I'm doing. Oh yeah? What about the end times? Wretched, miserable, naked, poor, blind. Don't know it.

If he could get deceived, what about us? I speak now of people, not of the bride. Now, she is deceived in spite of the fact of what she is. Now listen, this means that her believing is wrong. Right? Now it's taken you a long time to get there. But I do it on purpose. I want to cover all the territory I can so there's no little bit sticking out missing. Her believing is wrong. And this is the starting place of the whole problem of death.

Right. The starting point of the whole problem of death is wrong believing.

Right. Now that's pretty simple, but it's true. Brother Branham said there's only one sin and that's unbelief. Unbelief is a matter of choice. And by that I mean there is something really you can believe and there's something wrong that you can believe also. And when you believe the wrong thing, you just believe the right thing. And when you believe the right thing, you just believe the wrong thing. See? It's that simple. Now, her believing is wrong. Now, never mind what she did.

Always this is what bugs people. What did she do? What did she do? Now, I don't care what she did. Now, we know what she did. But I don't care what she did. See? At this point, at this point, what she did hasn't got a thing to do with it. What she did... is the consequences of her believing. Brother Bassett, if you believed a thing, you wouldn't act like that, would you? See? What she did is the consequence of her believing or her being deceived, believing that which is contrary to reality. See? And now remember Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. In the deep, that word is reality. I am the way, the reality, and the way.

And it's in this age that we achieve reality. Now, if her believing had been right, she never would have gone wrong. She never would have sinned. See? Now notice that. If she was right, she never would have sinned. Now that boggles the mind down right there, see? Sure does. Always boggles the mind. The human mind does not want to receive an absolute fundamental truth of the word of God. Your faith is your righteousness. And

if Abraham hath rubbed the glory, sure he does, but not before God. Not by word. Or it's written, Abraham believed God and it was counted to him for righteousness. Now, as long as he believed God correctly, He was absolutely righteous.

Nothing wrong with her. Now, what he did was an attitude or a manifestation or an outcome of her mental attitude toward the truth, which is the word of God. And that's what Brother Brown told himself. Now, the serpent said she would not die if she partook of the forbidden truth. She believed the word of the serpent. She disbelieved God's word. That is deception. Now listen. She thought she was hearing God's word explained.

She wasn't. She took it to be. She died. So if we take something other than the word of God, our faith is same. Now listen and try to get this. Not that we're not, but we try a little harder. In all history, there never was nor could there be another lie greater than this one because it caused the fall. of the entire race of the born ones of God. That's right. All the predestinated sons of God died because of this lie.

The lie caused it. That's right. Nothing else. See? Now we know that truth in Romans 5. Those living things which were in him, Christ, every son was destined by his deception before that son. came on the scene. We were born dead. As Brother Branner said, we've come into this world speaking lies. Everyone was doomed by this deception. There is no lie or deception like it.

Do you follow me? There isn't anything like this. Now, there again, we boggle down. Well, now, you see, Brother Dale, I know a lot of great deceptions, and I'm just trying to think of those terrible things out there to deceive the poor public. And now you come along and say it's gibberish. It's just one word. Now that doesn't make sense. No, it doesn't, but it makes eternal life. You read it, you're jumping for dollars and cents to join the crowd. It

doesn't make sense to people. The human mind bothers at this. They don't tell, I'm not telling anybody. If I believe this to be the sacred word of Almighty God, I've got to believe what it says. And I know by this that this is the lie that eschewed every single born one of Almighty God. And

not only that, but brought death and corruption to the whole human race. What did it? This one lie. This one deception. Now, there is no lie or deception like it. This is the lie. All other lies. spawn out of it. All sin spawns out of it. Now, in the actual Greek of 2 Thessalonians, the true Greek revelation, translation says, they believe two lies. There's only one two lies. And that is the lie that the devil perpetrated upon him where he changed one word of the Bible. Argue. One premise. Argue. One thing that God says. And remember, this lie is to repeat at the end time. It will deceive every single person unless God does something to prevent it. As it says here in 2 Thessalonians, the second chapter, verse 11. And for this cause, God shall send them a strong vision. What cause? Because they believed the lie. They

received not the truth. They wouldn't take it. Matthew 24, 24. All but the very elect shall be deceived. Now listen, it doesn't say elect, it says the very elect.

Something that no other race or generation in the seven church ages could come up against.

Something very special at the end time. Now, as the first deception brought the fall, so the last lie sealed all the fallen ones into the harvest of death.

Right. As that first lie brought death, so this last lie seals you in to

death. Right. Seals them in. Why? They won't escape if you turn this word down to sin. Notice also, this worship of Satan, wherein people think they're reaching God, comes to us in a certain way. Verses 9 and 10. Whose coming is after the working of Satan, with all power and signs and lying wonders. And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them to tarry. See how he did it. It's the same pattern he pulled off in Eden. Why? Because it's Eli after the working of Satan. Now, how did Satan work the first deal? Now, remember, brother and sister, the fellow said this. He said, if I get bitten the first time by the crook, it's his fault. But if I get bit the same way by the same crook a second time, it's my fault. Right? All right. We've got a warning here. This deception of the end time is going to pattern exactly after the first lie by Satan. Now, how'd he do it? He took a smart and beautiful, sensuous, pleasure -loving creature to turn him from truth to human reasoning.

Right. Smart, beautiful, pleasure -loving creature. The rottenest act in all history. The most deceitful and unrighteous act in all the world took place in Eden and will repeat. Once more, the church is going to be deceived by a smart cookie. Smart, beautiful, clever, animalistic person. Woman which represents the church was deceived by brilliant wisdom. Right. the seed of wisdom, and made to believe that life, eternal life, can come apart from the seed of eternal life, which is the Word. Right. She was made to believe that life could come apart from the seed of eternal life, which is that Word. She was made to believe it. Brother, she produced it.

Remember, brother, sister, there is one book of life. It has two branches, lamb life and life. And remember, life is counterfeited from lamb life. So the first life was lamb life, and she should have stuck with lamb life, which was worse.

Didn't do it. I'll explain. Just get me down. She had to cast away the word first before she could sin. Only then could she sin.

Right. Isn't that exactly what Paul said would happen again? In the verses I read to you in 2 Corinthians and Acts 20, certainly, remember, he said, I am free from the blood of all men because I have not failed to declare to you the whole word of God. So it is, my brother, my sister, we have that whole word of God. We have that revelation. How in the world could we have sinned? Now, he thought, listen now, he thought he could have God and unbelief at the same time. And he died for it. That's right. She actually thought she could have God and her unbelief at the same time. She died for it. They're trying to do the same thing right today. And Satan is telling the same line. We're all one.

Sure, same line. Now, they will do it again. For thus it is written, and thus it will be, because God and unbelief in the revealed words cannot go together. They died then, they'll die now. Right. That's exactly why they'll die. Because God and unbelief cannot go together. Unbelief and eternal life cannot go together because of he that believeth my word shall not perish. Not the word. Brother Ballantyne said it that. Not the word. The word. Now God did say to believe the word. But you know why he said it? He said because no man hath done the works that I did. And he said, this is why they're going to carry it. He said, if any man had done the work, it would be different. But he said, no man did what I did. And that led them to the word, they turned it out. Now listen, it's over here in John 15, 22. I didn't quote it right, but I'll quote it now. Read this, this is.

If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not sinned. Now notice this one. Better still. If I had not come and... spoken unto them. They had not sinned, but now they have no cloak for their sin. What was it that took away the cloak of Eve? What was it that took away that covering she had? God's word was spoken to her and she wouldn't believe it.

Jesus Christ came and brought his word in his day and they wouldn't take it. So now they have no cloak. William Branham came and who was it that made this church naked? William Branham by the word of God stripped this church and showed she was naked. Alright? Listen to John 9 .41. Go back to it. Jesus said, If you were blind, you should have no sin, but now you say we see, therefore your sin remaineth. I thought they had a sacrifice.

I thought they had a lamb. Don't

talk about a lamb and don't talk about an intercessor. Don't talk about a mediator. You're wasting your time.

Because God and unbelief and His indicated word don't go together.

That's right. Talk all you want about it. Claim all you want. Talk in all the tongues you want. Scream all you want. Rejoice all you want. Have a ball. Win a thousand souls just like you.

Sure. But unbelief in God won't go together. There's no sacrifice remaining.

There's no sacrifice remaining. There's nothing left to man that turns that word down. I know this is hard to realize, but we're dealing in a hard time. Remember, it's all deceivableness.

Remember at the end time. We've got to be those that understand every trick in the enemy. Of which the first one is deceit. Because everything else comes out of us. Now, notice also. We won't read it. Revelation 22, 18 and 19. Add a word. Take away. Bring condemnation. Now, that's deceit. Deceitfulness. The next word is unrighteousness. Now, we

have to watch when we contemplate this word. Unrighteousness. Because it seems so strong. Now, you know what it means to you, you know? It means killing, lying, gouging, assaulting, bare, hard, knocked down, vile, rough sin of the gutter, of the street. You know what I mean? Sure, but listen.

That kind of unrighteousness is not deceiving. That doesn't deceive anybody. A guy kill a man? Boy, what's that? You're not deceived. That doesn't fool you. A guy rob a bank. That doesn't fool you. A guy go out there mugging, assaulting, robbing, gouging, kicking, maiming. That says nothing there. That's nothing. That doesn't deceive you. People run from that kind of right unrighteousness. You see? But what we're talking about, they run into it. Run

into it. Don't tell me anybody is indecent and has one half announced to bring... They want to run into some wild crowd and beat up old ladies and grab their purses and name people and live like the devil. Everybody's done that. And look at these folk in the marching against the wall. We have no business being in that war. We understand that.

How come they don't understand how Mr. Rogers and Mr. Nixon and all the rest of these fellows that call themselves statesmen. Rogers went where? Egypt. Then to Israel. And then to Rome.

that Pope's high face if it's got to do with us. He doesn't have one soldier over there in Israel. He doesn't have one battalion over there. That hypocrite and crook. And then run to that arse, enemy of Jesus Christ.

That's what people don't understand right there. They don't even try to figure it out. That half an ounce of brains that wonder, what are we sending men over there to the Pope for? Who's he anyway? Forget

it. But no, they send men over there and they lick his boots. You know why? Because his brother Branagh said one word from the Pope. And the Catholics fight or don't fight. They vote or don't vote. But nobody seems to know what's even going on. That's the kind of unrighteousness we're talking about. And that's what defeats people. See? This is not the rage of a bellowing, charging bull we're talking about. It's the trap that lures the church to her death. See? Making her feel that God is going to fulfill his word to her while she takes the path of perversion. Won't work. God's going to give her millennia. God's going to give her rapture. It's exactly what happened to Eve. It's the same thing. She, by unrighteousness. Now, notice what he did. She acted to bring life, which was according to the promise of God. Now watch it. She acted to bring life, which to bring life is according to the promise of God, but which... acts and she did was not according to the revelation of the word.

God said go be proof of multiply. Right. He told them to do it. But they did it wrong. Now notice the penalty. The penalty of doing what was wrong although they believed they were acting on the commandment. You see? Now that's hard to understand. Right there. God gives a commandment. Well let's all do it. No, sir. God gives the commandment. Get it done. No, sir.

No, sir. There's a time to do it. There's a place to do it. God gave the commandment. Now, look at the penalty that he got into by doing an action which could have been a blessing. As Brother Branham said, to obey God is life. And how come obedience to God in this case brought death? Just like Cain and Abel. Now, Genesis 3, 14 and 19.

The Lord God said to the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed. Who was cursed next? Cain. Serpentine. Verse 15. I'll put enmity between thee and the woman, between thy seed and her seed. If thou bruise thy head, thou shalt bruise his heel. And the woman said, I'll greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception. In sorrow shalt thou bring forth children, and thy desire is to be to thy husband, and he to rule over thee. Now her desire was not to her husband originally. Her desire was to the serpent.

See what we're saying here. Obeying in a wrong manner because of unbelief brought death.

She wanted to fulfill the word of God. There was a command to do it. But in spite of that, because of a wrong action, she brought death. Now let's prove it. Genesis 1, 26 to 27. The

Lord God said, let's make manner in it. And he did. So on.

He made them male and female. In verse 28 he said, he blessed them. be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the face of the earth. Now watch. This commandment to bring forth life was given to them while they were yet one spirit creation. The

command was given while neither one was in the body of the flesh. They were both spiritual creations. Male and female in one spirit creation. Thus, when placed in the flesh, the command was not to multiply by the flesh, but by the spirit, because that's when the command was given and how it was to be done.

They were to bring forth through the spirit of God out of the ground.

See? That's what they're supposed to do. Because that's when the command was given. In the spirit form. And was to be obeyed upon a spiritual premise. Even though they had within them. The very power to bring forth children sexually. They were not to do it. They were to act together spiritually. Like Christ matured. Not sexually. Even though they had the physical means to do it. Exactly what the church has been doing now through the ages. And is doing right today. They are bringing forth children. unto themselves, not by Christ the Word, but their giving birth to corruptible children through the corrupted Word, which Peter warns us we should not be doing. For Peter says, being born again, not of corruptible seed, but by the Word of God in trouble, which lives and abides forever. The church is bringing forth children unto herself. through her creed and her dogmas, and she's bringing forth the same bastard child type that he brought forth. That's exactly where the curse is. And remember, brother Fisher, that bastard was cursed.

That's exactly why Peter said at the end time, sure you've cast out devils, sure you've healed the sick, sure you've raised it, he's taught to me you'll curse it. Is it working or not? Remember,

God can only curse that which has been brought about in the wrong way. Now, religious, or spiritual experience outside the word of God will condemn the church to do it the last time. I'll prove it again. Remember Hebrew 6. Let's go back again. I don't want anybody fuzzy on this because if you're fuzzy then I want it to be your fault, not mine.

It's impossible for those who were once enlightened and with enlightenment take the heavenly gifts, partake of the Holy Ghost. take the good word of God, the powers of the world to come, have them fallen away, they will never be renewed to repentance again. See? Why? Because they're outside the word of God when they need it. And I don't care what they perform. And today, brothers and sisters, the church is absolutely full of what we're talking about. Now remember, The first church began to fall. Then it fell. And fell and fell. So the fourth church age, the dark ages, there was hardly anything left. Right? Now, what happened the fifth age? Luther arose on the scene. Right? Refuted by the Catholic Church. Now then, after Luther went, the church went into organization and it began to persecute the Methodist church that rose up under Wesley. Then what happened? Then the Westians, after Westians, organized and they became a great people. Now watch. Too late, the Lutherans took Luther's message. That's what the people did. By the time the Lutheran message was in full swing, Luther was dead. Their children were simply nominal Christians believing in a creed and dogma. The next thing happened to the Westians. Now, at the end time, Under the restoration of gifts. This is the great foolish. People know. That you cannot really speak. A genuine tongue. Except by the Holy Ghost. Now I know the devil can talk in some speech. But we're talking about good people now. That want us to occur the devil. God be he will. Now that we also know. That the gifts of the Holy Ghost. Are resident in the Holy Spirit. So therefore. As you could easily be a Lutheran. Dead as a doornail. You could be a Methodist. Dead as a doornail. You could be a bastard. Dead as a doornail. When it comes to Pentecost, they say, now we've got you right there. Because, you see, you've got to have the Holy Ghost for sure if you're going to have any of those gifts and gifts. That's where they're wrong. Because the Bible says at the end time, I'll pour the Spirit upon anybody and everybody and you can all be doomed. You see, they say, well now, we cannot be proved. But there is your strong delusion. God, Sending delusion. That they believe the lie. Because they turn down the truth. Men and women. Acting under the power of the Holy Ghost. Bringing forth the same thing. So the church. Even in Pentecost. Is bringing forth. Under a corrupt word. Children. That are born by a creed and a dogma. Who have power and signs and wonders. Genuine by the Holy Ghost. But they themselves. Are in total. unbelief. As Brother Branham said, we have seen the Word of God manifested in power, but it has not been manifested in revelation. Now, Brother, Sister, if you see the Word of God in power, it will do you no more good than seeing a tree out there. No more good. Do you no more good than looking at God's creation? Won't be any good. See? Why? Because it doesn't tell you things. You have got to have the Word of God in you. In order to be a part of the kingdom. Now then, this morning, I mentioned concerning what Cain and Abel did. Which was the unrighteous act. Cain sacrificed the first fruit offering out of place. Brother Brandon said you can't rest the scripture. You can't misinterpret. You can't misplace it. That's true. That's what the Bible teaches. If you do not rightly divide, the Bible says it's iniquity. Now so it is. When this man came, rest of the scriptures, he gave the first fruit offering in the wrong place. Both of those offerings were absolutely correct. But only one reached God because it was by revelation, by the right to dividing of the word. Now, that's the same thing that he did. See, the very same thing. He divided the word of God long. He attempted to bring forth the commandment of God in a wrong way. Now, remember that the devil was a theologian. That's right, he was the first theologian. And he tried to teach Eve that word.

And she listened to him. And she was wrong there. And if it was wrong then, it's got to be wrong now. See? Now, notice also about Cain and Abel. They were both serving and worshiping God, and one was worshiping God according to his own understanding, to his own liking, and he did what he felt was pleasing to God, and he defied God because he said, I'm doing what I know to be right as far as I am concerned. Now, what does the Bible say about that? The Bible says at the end time, They take pleasure in unrighteousness. They take pleasure. King, in his misdivided words, took his treasure in him. And so, in this very day in which we live, people are still taking treasure in worshiping God. Now, if you don't believe it, you can start reading testimony. You go ahead. Go to your fundamentalist. And he'll tell you he knows when he was born again. That's right. He'll tell you who knows when he accepted the Lord Jesus Christ and how God delivered him from sin and made him a new creature. He'll tell you how he's baptized in water in the name of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. And he'll go to his death defending his Roman Catholic dogma. Right. He'll die for it. When the Roman Catholics had published a recent article and they laughed at the Protestants and said, you Protestants make us laugh. You claim to be protesting. He said, what are you protesting? He said, you know that you're all baptized in a Roman Catholic dogma, which is Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, because the early church baptized only in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Where's the protestant? Paul himself said, he said, you protestant diabetes.

Why, he said, to the Christian church, he said, you turn the other cheek. He said, if a man smites you, you turn the other cheek. If a man abuses you, you let him abuse you. If a man takes what you've got, you say, go ahead and take some more. And when he came to come to that word, he said, you back right away. He said, you act like Christians. You try to look like Christians. You talk with tongues. But he said, on the showdown of the word, he said, you stand against me because I try to push the Christian order. Now, where do they stand? They stand outside the ark of Satan. Even as Jesus said, in vain do you worship me, having for teaching the commandments of man. What were they doing in that day? They were misinterpreting the word of God. As Brother Brown said, Jesus came according to the word. but not according to their interpretation of the word. He didn't condemn their doings. He never condemned what they were doing. He condemned their believing. Because once a man turns down the word of the hour, there's nothing left but death. Now let's go back to 2 Thessalonians chapter 9 and 10 again.

Now notice. With all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that tarry, because they receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And with this cause, at least you have a strong delusion and so on. Now, let's ask ourselves the question. Where does it place all the seal books of unrighteousness? It places it in them that carry it. Now notice, it does not say in him, the Antichrist. It says in them that carry it. Not the Antichrist.

Yes, in the church. That's right. Unrighteousness brings death. Unbelief. Death in the church and it brings forth the prince of death and they crown him thinking he's life. Death in the church. Unbelief. And it brings forth the prince of death, Satan, and crowns him thinking it is life. Now where does death come from? The knowledge of good and evil. Now

what's the knowledge of evil? First of all, there's no such thing as evil. You know that as well as I do. God never made evil. Nothing in itself is wrong. Nothing. There's nothing today that's wrong in itself. I don't care what it is. The vulture that kills other birds and all, there's nothing wrong in that thing whatsoever. Not the way God made it. It's the perversion. The knowledge of good and evil. There is no knowledge of itself that is evil. It's what you do with it.

That's the whole thing. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil is nothing but the word of God perverted. It's the truth and the good thing of God that is used wrong. And therefore death is in the church at the end time. And that death is the perversion that started way back with that lie. See? Now, the people have death in them. Now look, death cannot bring forth life. Only life can bring forth life. So what does the church bring forth? The church brings forth the prince of life and crowns death as though he were life. And they say he is the prince of life when he is the prince of death. Now, then my brother, my sister, how does he is that church? It wants... 100 % disease. How? His brother Branham said, to all diabolical cunning, the greatest lie the devil ever put to any man, which was at the end time, just like with Eve, to make righteousness and unrighteousness, life and death, so close, the true spirit so close, unless somebody came by with a revelation, every single one of us would die in the trap. There would be one person left. Nobody. Not because I say so, but because God said so. He said, if I don't send Elijah to the prophet to restore, I'll come and destroy utterly the whole earth. And that means there wouldn't be a resurrection. Right. There wouldn't be a rapture. There wouldn't be a millennium. There wouldn't be a kingdom of God. There wouldn't be anything. See? Because there's got to be a huddle. Now you ask yourself this question. Where did the Antichrist come from? He comes from him. He comes out of him. The church. The Christians. So -called. He is one of them. The church. Now listen. Just like Judas came out of the Jews, but answered like he was one with Christ, so does the antichrist. Now listen. Where did Judas get his authority? Not from Christ. Not in the church. Notice. He went right to the Sanhedrin and the head... of the manifested wicked religion of their day. Follow me? The church produces the Antichrist and he comes out of them because they leave the vindicated truth. And where's their authority?

Where's their authority? They have their own authority. They don't have God's authority anymore. Remember the Bible says, but they those that have the rule over you, who teach you the word of God, where's the priest's authority? In the word, he's got no authority. He's got no power.

He's like that piece in Brother Berenstead. He's got a little old piece in about two by four stands up there, about four feet, five inches tall, great big glove on, blows the whistle, and a five -ton truck comes rolling into a hall. Not because the guy's big enough to stop him, but that hand signifies authority, that uniform.

Now, do the people get their authority from the end time? You know where it is? On a creed and a dogma, a perversion of the word of Almighty God. And that's exactly where the Roman Catholic Church and the organization stand today. They don't stand there, my brother and my sister, because they've got billions of dollars. The Roman Catholic Church, $168 billion in gold, as Brother Bannon said, does not stand on anything other than the fact that they have perverted the word of God and sucked him in by it. What about your church? Do you think they earned that money that they've got? Do you think they have done it? No. What have they got it by? They have filled up by a tree and a dogma their own kingdom on earth, Satan's paradise. And they've had for 2 ,000 years in the church ages.

Satan's had a kingdom going for 6 ,000 years. What's it filled on? It's filled on a perverted word. There is not one thing that's built...

There's their authority.

Remember when Brother Brannon went to the Catholic Church to preach? He said, by what authority? He said, I do it by the authority of the word of God. And the priest said, he said, he said, God is in the church. Brother Brandon said, I disagree with you. God is in the word. He said, we're not here to argue. Brother Brandon said, I don't believe in arguing. I believe I can give a reason though, because the Bible says, come let us read together. He said, was that girl baptized? What baptism? Brother Brown said, Christian baptism. He said, what do you mean? He said, I mean in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. The priest said, we used to baptize that way, but we got a waivement. He said, we baptize in Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Brother Brown said, if you used to be baptized that way, why don't you still do it? Why? Because the authority is the church. What did Brother Brown say in that sermon, the ultimate? He said, everybody's got to have an ultimate. He said, before his own church. He said, your church has got to have an ultimate. He said, I am that ultimate truth. And my ultimate is the word of God. You're depending on me. And God is dependent before the word. And he said, you're depending on me for the answer. And God is depending on me to give you the right answer. There is an ultimate. And the ultimate is the foundation. Because a building will never survive without a foundation. Now, what brings forth this antichrist? The foundation, their ultimate, is the perverted word of almighty God through satanic. A misconception of that word. But our church is built upon the authority of the word of Almighty God. See? Two authorities. And they said to Jesus, by what authority do you do this thing? And he said, I'll tell you that. If you tell me what authority, John the Baptist baptizes. And they said, well, we say he's a prophet. And then we've got to give an answer there. If he says no, he'll get mad. He'll say, no, no. He's not going to tell you anything.

And you know right today, the same thing is the same mystery. Christ has not told that foolish church. The truth is ignored. Oh, they had a chance to get it, but they turned it down. Now, where is their foundation? Thinking stance and authority of a perverted word. Now, the Bible says every plant that God has in plant is going to be drugged up, thrown up. Everything that doesn't have a foundation, he said, I'm going to shake it down. Why? Because it doesn't have the proper foundation. See, the church produces the antichrist. Now, the people themselves produce the beast because they refuse the word of God which God revealed by vindication. And then they go to worship in what they call God anyway. And that is exactly what is prophesied in the book of Ezekiel, chapter 27, 3 to 4, and 28, 2 to 9. See? It is the beast theology, beast

theology, settling in the hearts of natural -brewed beasts, just like Eve and Cain. They said, we're going to do it our own way. And they take the provided word and the provided power, and they pervert them to their own end. Well, don't they?

What does the priest, what does the Pope say? Jesus gave the case to Peter. Peter was the first Pope. And he said, whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven. I am Peter's successor, so therefore you are his.

Right? And you know what? They built a church for 2 ,000 years on. And the Protestants have built their church in the same way. Why? Because the whore has daughters. And I want to tell you one thing. If you want to learn a lot of new tricks, you go to the harlot's daughter. Don't go to the harlot. The

Protestants built the enemy.

The Pope is going to take it over. Absolutely. See, they go their way. Carnal is mixed with spiritual. That's right.

Proving they are devoid of the Holy Ghost. 1 Corinthians chapter 2.

Story takes a long one. This is one of those things. I'm more sorry than you. I couldn't mind. Your ears don't get as tired as my throat. I hope you do. Your ears get as tired as my throat. I'm going to start praying for you. You might have to pray for me so my throat will get tired quicker. All right, listen. Carnal is mixed with spiritual, proving they are devoid of the Holy Spirit. Verse 10, chapter 2, verse 10. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things in the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of man, so the Spirit of man is in him. Even so, the things of God knoweth no member of the Spirit of God. Now we have received not the Spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God, that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Now, which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teaches, comparing spiritual to spiritual, but the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God. They are foolishness unto him, neither can he know them, because they're spiritual things. All the spiritual things of God, the Word of God. All right, listen, let's prove it today.

I'm a Pentecostal. I talk with Christ. I got the Holy Ghost in my tongue. Now then, I run across a little Catholic nun. She's a theologian. And I find out, bless God, in one of these seminaries, she has talked in tongues, had a rich experience in Christ. And I say to her now, sister, first mistake right there. I understand that you're born again. Hold the Holy Ghost. She's like, yes, sir, brother Dale. That's her mistake right there.

Send him the flag. Esther, I'll tell you what. I received the Holy Ghost in your tongue. Howdy. I'll say, that's great. Hey, that's great. You received the Holy Ghost and spoke in tongue. I'll ready him. Eyes up. And I'm ready for a great surprise and something thrilling. And I say, well, well, well. That's wonderful. So you don't go and confess your sin to peace anymore. Oh, but I do confess my sin to peace.

You confess your sin to the priest. And you got the holy book? Oh, yes. It made it richer. It made it easier. Now when I confess, hallelujah, it's great. I really feel great. Oh, yes. I'm ready for that tonight.

The word of God tells me that you don't call any man father, and you don't get forgiveness of sins except by Jesus Christ, the intercessor. Now you, I didn't yell at that guy. I got the Holy Episcopal John. He got the Holy Episcopal John. So he's got the Holy Ghost, and I've got the Holy Ghost. And I say, well, I'll look at this. Now, of course, though, you don't believe the Pope can calibrate it. Why, yes, I do. I want to tell you the dogma, the riches of our cradle. It's been there to my heart. Oh, how I love the words in the Scripture.

I thought we already had the words. Here's the way folks are giving them. No man can add to it or take from it or change it, eh? See now. That doesn't sound right, but let's see now. If you've got the Holy Ghost in spoken tongue, and I've got the Holy Ghost spoken tongue, now if I've got the Holy Ghost in spoken tongue, and I've got the real Holy Ghost, then she must have the real Holy Ghost in her tongue.

Do you

think you and I maybe could sit down and have communion? Well, what do you mean? Would you like to come to the altar while my priest gets a wafer on your tongue and drinks the wine himself? How do you quite have that in mind, figure? My thought was that maybe we could sit down and take some of that bread and break it in and you have a cup of wine and have a little sip of wine and, oh, why would you do that?

Wouldn't you have the priest consecrated to have the real body threatened? Well, now, uh -uh. I just don't know that that is the real body of Christ. I always took it to be symbolic. You're pretty nervous right now. And you're beginning to wonder about this thing. They say, well, the thing is this, though. Well, there's only one way to think about it. I've got the Holy Ghost and I know I've got the Holy Ghost. And then he gets Holy Ghost. I know he's got the Holy Ghost. So what's the difference?

Carnal and spiritual don't mix. Nobody hasn't got the Holy Ghost. And I don't speak this reverently. And my shouting doesn't mean I'm going to change anything for one minute. But I want you to get this, brother, sister, and get it straight. If anybody here or anywhere else tries to compare a physical, carnal thing with that Word of God, you've lost your marbles right now. You're insane with that last thing, sir. You sit with the Word of God, period. And if any man deviates from this revealed Word, it absolutely shows he or she has not got the Holy Ghost. You might have anointing. But if he's baptized into the body of Jesus Christ, Brother Vanna said, give them that word test, and they cannot stay with that word, word by word. As many a man says he believes the word of God, but he doesn't. Now see what it says at the end time. Matthew 24, 24, 25, you read it. Matthew 7, you read it. But did you read Psalms 68 and 18? If you didn't, let's read it. You can look the other up yourself. This I want to read. 68 and 18, listen. Thou hast ascended on high. Thou hast led captives to be captives. Thou hast received gifts from men. That's right. What were those gifts from men? This was the fivefold ministry who bring the word of God, who teach it in order to bring the bride to perfection. But listen, the rest of that verse. For the rebellious also. That word rebellion in the Hebrew is the same word in the Greek that means apostasy. For the apostate also, he has received gifts that the Lord might draw among them. What was those gifts? According to number 16, they were gifts of prophecy and manifestation that maybe were miracles and signs and wonders. Now the Bible distinctly says that there will be ministry at the end time outside the true bride of Christ. In the rebellion, in the apostate. Yeah.

Apostate people with manifestations and signs and wonders. Now let's go somewhere. Turn to me now to 1 Corinthians, the 12th chapter.

You see, you can just go on and on and on and find material in this subject. There's no ending to it. Thousands of verses in the Bible. Now listen. 1 Corinthians 12. Reading at 27. Now you are the body of Christ and members in particular. And God has set in the church. First apostle. Secondary prophet. Thirdly, teachers. After that miracle. Then gifts of healing. Government. The verse again. Now listen. It tells you right here. It begins to bring the five whole ministries. One, two, three. And it stops at four. Doesn't mention. And doesn't mention five. Then with outnumbering. They don't number these. It says miracles. Healing. And so on. They are ministries of power. But they are not in the five -fold ministry. Right? They're simply gifts. And only in the five -fold ministry is the church brought to perfection. Not gifts. What do you got today? You've got men with gifts running all over the world stealing the perfect and they're not a part of the five -fold ministry. And

they don't perfect the church. They don't add to the church. The Bible said the rebellious have gifts. Now what if a lot of folks you know just suddenly have a lot of gifts? I

really got you. They're the ones who really believe this message.

Yeah?

Give them the word, Jeff. I said give them the word, Jeff.

Give them the word, Jeff. Because right now you've got more people believing in some great big super duper thing and they shouldn't be doing it because Brother Branham said those super duper things are going to come at the time of the two witnesses.

Now the bride...

But remember, the rebellious are the ones that have gifts. And God warned us that you don't go with those gifts apart from the ministry. It was the gifts that fooled Israel before they went into the promised land, having made the exodus. Who says those gifts will not appear again to fool all but the very elect? He's done it already.

Stay with that word. Now, I'm not saying that we won't have healings. We will. But what did the prophet teach us in church order? He said, when you have a problem, call the church together and let them pray.

See? Now, he never ever said that a gift ministry would be a public demonstration. Even God rebuked him for letting his syndicated ministry that led to the word become too public. Right? Come on, you know it's the truth. He said you made a public spectacle.

Even the prophet went too far. Where do those gifts belong? Right back in there.

What's the Bible ministry? To perfect you. And remember, there is no perfection outside of that word. Because the perfected are those who have the revelation of God. And you know what revelation of God is? Faith. You know what faith is? Righteousness. Lines up. Not miracles. Now, I'm not against miracles. I'm for them. But I'm going to do it the way the prophet said. And if I cannot have something... which is in line with the word of God, brother, sister, I don't want it. Otherwise, I'm just like you. The devil said, he didn't tell you to go ahead and populate earth. He said, he sure did. Did he tell you how to do it? No. Well, he said, I'll be glad if you did. But he did. All right. The Bible said, heal the sick, raise the dead. You've got gifts among you. What did he say? Put in order.

Now, what are the thought of order? We'll be right back. Now listen,

many will come in that day and say, Lord, Lord. Have you not prophesied in thy name? And he'll say, I'm going to say to you like I said to Cain. Cain, you offered well. Excellent sacrifice. I won't take it. And the Lord, I did those mighty works. I know, that was wonderful. I appreciate you taking your time. But he taught me to do the work iniquity.

One with that word, there is a deception. And we are in the hour of it. Now, the whole thing becomes completely perverted without one word correctly understood except by the bride. There will not be any service or worship that is accepted by God except in the bride. You believe that? Right. You're right. Well, Brother Dale, don't you think preaching like that, that you sort of put yourself apart and us people apart and make you look pretty raw? Well, thank you for thinking that. I thought the same thing about Brother Brown for a while. I thought, I love Brother Brown. But he is getting a little bit too, too, too. Because it sounds like he's the only one. And he was. And

he's got like a thing when it gets that clear. And

you know the truth? This is a fact. Serious, brothers and sisters. God cannot accept the worship of anybody but Abraham.

Why would he turn him down? He was going to come and say, Lord, Lord, over to us. I used to know he was my wife, but I don't know he's my wife anymore. Divorced. Do you think you'd take a divorced wife in yet? When you've got your own pretty little new wife with you? They say, look, honey, you had your day. They hand the door. They say, double lock it. Call the cops. And they curse them again. Oh, but honey, I didn't mean to leave you. I love you. He said, look, that's over. Goodbye.

You don't think God's going to fool around with this other man?

No. He won't accept the worship. He said, that day is coming. It's certain. Now, we are at the end time. It is almost too late even now. But I don't say it's too late. It's just almost too late. We need to test every word we say and every thought we think and everything we do by that word. which was revealed with vindication, and stick with it until every member, no matter where he is, begins to walk alone with God as did Enoch. That's right. We shall not surely die, but be chained for the rapture, is the deceived faith of millions, while millions more cry out to the earth, peace is coming on earth, and the reign of God is starting, for we are all blood. That's exactly the same. Even amongst Pentecost. Pentecost is a deal. They have stopped looking for the Lord Jesus Christ. They say we're going to walk into the millennium and rebuild this whole earth. Peace on earth to men. I thought that was a Catholic dogma. People claiming full of the Holy Ghost. Pentecostals are thinking the same thing. Now, it is all but over. The truth has been vindicated and the people not the lie. They take plagiarism. You say, brother, put your church in order. He said, got it. He said, look, I can't see the thing of the spirit the way you've got it.

One man told me that in the house. He said, brother, I simply can't believe what you think. I said, the prophet thought it. What he said, I don't think he meant it that way. I said, why not? Well, he said, you just can't have the spirit here, he said, without these other things. I said, are you trying to tell me that brother Branagh's church was dead?

I said, I never felt more anointing or more anything in my life than that man preached. And that's what he preached. What he said, I guess maybe you got a point there. But he never took the point. Right back in the same disorder of Pentecost. Now look, remember this and get it clear. We are not against these things the scripture says. We do not make mock of them. But remember, it has got to be according to the word. This is where we stand. And people don't understand.

Too late. They'll understand that there was a little bride that had that word.

When the world begins to realize, those people that are sincere, the foolish persons, begin to realize, admit that where do you think we're going to turn? Where are we going to turn? Where are we going to turn? There's only one place we can turn and say, what was it we missed? What was it that was wrong? Where did we go wrong? You know what the answer's going to be? Wasn't there a little fella called William Branham that claimed that he was a prophet?

And didn't he tell us just the way it would be?

And they'll say, where do you get that literature? Where do you get the case?

Too late, they'll believe the word. That it's too late to make the rapture. It's been finished. But brother, sister, not too late for them to miss the mouth of the Lord. I

believe many are going to miss it. They'll die for it.

What if you and I were that group?

I'd say this, if you and I were to miss it somehow, we still have with us today that revealed word. If there's not one of us, if we would have to pay a price in the days to come, we'd have to miss out. We could forfeit our lives. Maybe it would be hard. But, brother, sister, I believe this word is the prophet brought. It is the last page of life in the midst of death. And no matter when someone believes, whether it be now or later, it will still be his passport, even though he believes too late for the bride, it will still be his passport to coming in at the right time. May we never forget that. And because of that, Get this word out.

God never told us to light a candle and put it under a bush. He never told us that we were to put and take these lights and hide them somewhere. But his command to this day is to bring to all the world and preach the gospel. Too

late I learned that Brother Brannon preached the sermon not of disgust but something like Christ when he wondered at people's hardness of heart. He wondered why men had not risen up to keep this message to the world.

When hundreds of others are rising up to take away the perverted word, thinking they're doing God a service and have pleasure in it, putting their hope and their joy in that which will bring death, where are the men today who will rise up and take out the word of God which is death?

We don't have today just the privilege of being smug, although I don't like using that word. You can get a little smug. It's not ours to have a privilege to say we've got this word and we're right to guess you're wrong or that could be absolutely true. What a tragic thing it would be for us to be right. And then teach somebody else in the family.

Right?

There's a five -fold ministry. And I believe it is. Where are our evangelists? About everybody I talk that used to be an evangelist has gone to teaching. I don't believe that God changes a horse, a red horse to a black horse or vice versa. Now I speak of ministry. When did God change an evangelist to be an evangelist? He said a prophet was always a prophet. And I believe a teacher is always a teacher. An evangelist is always an evangelist. that it seems for a fleeting moment all we had was Brother Brown and his advantage is profit and the whole thing. Where are our advantages? Where are they today willing to go and pray for Jesus Christ? I'm not the advantage. There never was one. Don't count me in on it. I don't have the ministry. I can't do it and I won't do it. But

for years and years and years I always taught that the first and the alpha and the omega of my ministry is that, Brother Sister, I marvel. I marvel there are pastors and there are teachers. At least we've got those. And if you've got those, there's got to be evangelists, there's got to be a prophet, there's got to be apostles, wherever.

You say, is there going to be a prophet? You better bank on it. Jesus Christ carries little Joseph as a prophet. But remember, he is not a word prophet as his dad was. He is simply a five -year -old minister prophet. As Paul said, if any man's a prophet, let him live to what I say is the truth. And Brother Branagh said, if my son Joseph preaches, he'll preach this very man. A prophet's leader. Where are those evangelists? Where are the people who take this through that?

Let the sea fall upon the sidewalk. Let the vultures take it. That's all right. It's got to happen to some of us. Let the wall refuse to let the green come up. It's got to happen to some of us. Let the weeds choke us up. It's got to happen to some of us. But brother, sister, there's good ground up there. I've been for 36 years. Where are those men that are doing it? I'm not giving a missionary all the call. Don't worry. I don't do it. You've got to be sent to God for this. You've got to know you've got to go. But there's something everybody can do. We can be a Grace Collins. Who's Grace Collins? Grace Collins will be sent out more than anybody in this ministry.

Wore out tape machine after tape machine. She sent them out of Florida. She didn't preach it. Another wrong woman making tapes and send them and praying over them and writing a note. I hope you hear this and love it. If you need more tapes, write back. That's a good ministry. Woman or man. Let this word get us. Is that right? Let's get on fire to get this word out there.

That's what the prophet said. Young men, young women, older, young. You and I have got a calling today. And that's to fill the place that God put us. And if we're word members of this body, there is one thing that we've got for the mountain today, so to speak. And that's that word. Amen. God bless you. Grace of

eternal father. We ask you, Lord, that not one word of this word we preach in these few days go to the ground. Not one word, O God, but every word be full of life of the Spirit of God to keep us ever mindful of the days in which we live. Terrible days. Terrible days, Lord, in which we live. All deceivers, unrighteousness. Lord Satan once more perpetrating upon the people all diabolical cunning. Not flagrant manifestation. As the world seems to think is embodied in communism. But right in the church. The insidious spirit of perversion. Not got black and white. But like that white horse rider. So deceitful. Going amongst the people. God protect us we pray today. Lord fill every life we pray with the Holy Ghost. Let every home Lord apply the token. Let everybody oh God. Become a servant of the word in this last hour. To bend forward feebly, though it might be some gospel call to somebody. Some witness, O Lord. Because we believe at this end time that any word ought to go out. Even though it be like pure snow in his days. Thank God that he ain't rising. But the word went out. Lord, like Paul. who was guiltless of the blood of all men because he had not come to declare the full word of God. I pray that this people who have the end time revelation may be set on fire with a burning zeal to show forth Christ amongst the nations. I pray, Lord, for my own life that I won't be chirping at any time at all nor consider any cause, any infirmity of body or ability to disdain everything which smacks of the carnal. of this world and to go forth in the strength which Jesus can give in a dedication to the complete authority to Christ. Lord, as that prophet who wept and hung on to the dead, when he answered those questions, Lord, you don't let me go down. My name go down in the talk of this day.

Lord, we who loved him and loved that word, help us to keep him still speaking, go dead, because we're bringing forth the true word of the true prophet Jesus. Lord, if we fail today, forgive us of our sins. Cleanse us of our iniquities. Fill us anew with your spirit, oh God. Help us to go forth in the name of Jesus Christ our Savior. We're praying right now. I've never ever wanted to see men go forth and preach this word. I don't know your heart and you don't know mine. There may be someone here that says, Brother Bill, I really believe I've been called to preach that word. To get out and serve God. But I've had fear. Listen, brother, sister. I've gone down that road not knowing where I'd be going with nothing to get there. And I've got there. And I've laid everything on that altar more than one time. Sacrifice it all. To help them preach this word. And I want to tell you it's the best of things. God did it. And you've been scared. Let me say this one thing. Put away your fear now. You've been called to God. Don't you be afraid to sacrifice your job or anything else you've got. Because remember, brother, sister. If you think paying a price is great to serve God, you'll pay a bigger price not for this. I'll tell you that in my experience, though I quit preaching for a while, it's just about costing my life. Dying to feed you the pituitary gland. Nerves racked and hoping for death even by suicide. Don't fool yourself, brothers and sisters. If you've had a call in your life, don't you turn that call aside. You get ready to serve God with all your heart. I won't ask you to raise your hand. That's not my business if you think you're hot. Be examined in your heart now. And know this, brother and sister. This yoke is easy. It'll burn his life. Oh, I know it's not being part of time. No testing for the time seems joyous. Seems a little hard. But remember, God has made a way that you can bear it. He can heal it. You'll see it that time. You know how? By bearing it. The yoke is easy. The burden is light. Take off that yoke. Take off that burden. You wish you put it back on.

I like what Brother Branham said. When I was a child of a drunkard, they walked in every side of the street. I had to go up and try to make people talk to me. He said, now I've got to run from them. He said, my name was hated. And now it's loved.

Paul's throwing a single cell of glory. There is a way. Oh, sometimes it seems hard. We get disgusted. I know it's not what brought us with ourselves. But Brother says there's something in Jesus Christ that makes it worthwhile.

Amen. You answer your own heart. I can't do it.

I'm naughty boasting. I'm being very honest and sincere now.

A while ago we'd been jumping up and down and hollering and talking in tongues and screaming. We don't do that anymore. We just go very steady listening to that word. You've got to call. You keep that call. What about a sister? She can be a good mother. That's her call. A good wife. That's her call. If there's a brother, God might have called to go preaching. A sister, you go with him. Not the priest. But you go with him because you're part of him. You've got a ministry, all right. You've got a ministry to be kind and loving to him. When he comes home, you've got to sort of take away the burnt ashes of his life. Well, he's been burning out there in the world because you're with him.

It took two men to hold up the hands of Moses, Aaron, and Hur. But I believe a woman can hold up the hands of men too. It makes you a better person. My

Jesus.

We go

forth. We know that we're out there to serve you, Lord. We know that we're caught in you. But too many times we're not caught because we're hiding in you. You're our high power and our defense. You're everything we need. And the reproaches don't fall upon us but upon you. And the cares of this world, Lord, don't fall upon us but upon you. We fail to realize it too many times.

Help us, O God. We won't fail to realize it.

Aware of it.

That our joy and our rejoicing shall cause to be in Christ. Now, Lord God, as we go to our homes, I'm going many miles. Be with them, I pray to Jesus. Give them a safe journey down the road. But above all, Lord, give each one of us a safe journey into our mansion in glory. And a safe journey, Lord, as we travel in love. Oh, God, help us, we pray today, to take off our differences and to quit our planning, Lord, in our divisions, oh God. Help us, Jesus, we pray.

Lord, take us immune to the poison and the darkness. Give us wisdom, O God. Understanding us.

Promote us in thy kingdom, O Christ. Through meekness and love and reverence.

Jesus, be merciful today. Hear our prayer.

Because you know, Lord, that we don't need it so badly. Give us health, we love, O Christ, this afternoon. Jesus

said, forgive them, they know not what they do.

And coming back from the resurrection, walk those six miles down the road with two disciples who didn't even know us. Lord, it may be that some of the blessings that we're critical of may be some of the choices of the very bride of Jesus Christ. Help us, Lord, to esteem each other and to love. To show all manner of grace, comfort, and patience that

one day, Lord,

in this day of nervousness,

Lord, give each heart grace and comfort. Let's ask Him.

May the love of God keep each one of us. If

not meet on this side of the veil, Lord, we meet

on that side. Not one of us missing, but every one of us there at that great day in the love of God. If we ask for Jesus' sake, because he's worthy of glory. Amen. Sing that song as we go till we meet.
