The questions I received up to last night look like it gave me just about a perfect job.

No, they're very fine questions, and everyone I've run across so far are just really fine, but there are some questions I cannot answer, and I'll tell you which ones they are. Did Brother Brown, the speaker, have a lady singing in church? No, he called them in to sing. Is it wrong to wear a culotte? That's a good question. I hate them. That's my personal opinion. I have no revelation on it. You may do what you want. Except for this one thing. We are a corruption from the Russian garment. Women in the 17th century or 18th, I'm not quite sure, wanted to ride horses. So it's adapted from the male Russian garment. Anything adapted from the male garment, I am not happy about. I myself believe it's a perversion. I would not have my wife wear one or my children, except in kid classes and school where women are all together. Because I have no revelation on the subject, you may do what you want. you want by prayer. Now, there's one way to get your own revelation outside of the word of God if you can't find it there. There's no profit in the land. If you are really dedicated to know the truth and what you want to do to please the Lord Jesus Christ, and I mean you really are dedicated, and even though you might love them, it doesn't mean one thing to you. You say, God, I'll obey your word. If you go to bed with that attitude in your mind tonight, Lord, I don't say go. Tomorrow morning, you'll wake up knowing the answer. It's just that simple. I can't stand you. There is no. If you were a proprietor, something that's different, just help yourself out, Brother Vangelis. Thanks for your husband. That's all right. What did Brother Branham teach me? That in capital punishment does not the old peasant keep the life for life. That's absolutely correct. But Brother Branham, going back to the age, that the God did not destroy Cain because Cain destroyed his brother. So therefore, he does not believe in capital punishment as an original precept of Almighty God. I do not recall him saying that he's against the people doing it in this country because he did say, as a couple of Americans, they do not make the penalty fits the crime. But the actual answer is, he did not blame it because going back to the beginning. Is it wrong for little girls to wear slacks in the winter for a warm sock? Brother Brandon hesitated on that question. And he said, well, I guess a little itty -bitty kid wouldn't matter. I agree it wouldn't matter. But just as quick as you can, you better get them out of those slacks. After all, what's warm socks and things? You know, come on, let's face it. When they get big, they're going to take them off and they don't breathe God and go half naked anyway. So I don't know.

You've got to just do the prophecy. You could go up to a little big age, maybe for a couple of days in school, but here's the tragic part of that. Once you get used to it, what are you going to do about it? There's a wrong to trim a little girl's hair. Brother Brown said, well, I guess he wouldn't hurt to cut a little bang. See, there again, not wanting to hurt people's feelings and knowing that if you cut that work, don't put a scissor on the hair. Don't use anything for work, no matter what it is, see? So that's the big thing about it. And the more you ask questions, you see, Brother Brown, when he already lays the thing down in the works, uh he'd like to help you as a sweet brother and do what he could but see if you don't stop the thing you don't get the habit you don't have to break it so it's my own personal opinion is and i'm sure if you need a soft cute person it would be the the same thing look uh the thing to do in life is to do the very best you can and accordance with that word is any and every single inch and then there's no regret bring your child up in the way it ought to go and it'll not be part from if he does you've got a good way of bringing them back but it's pretty hard to start teaching a moral and a precept when you've already had something going wrong for you. See, so the little thing ain't sure that'll do all right. Maybe a little snip of the scissors, but I'm fussing right now about our granddaughters. What right have you got to cut her hair, period? They'll be cutting it for pieces, eh? I'm

not bitter. I just found it tough. My wife can't wear culottes and my granddaughter, as far as I'm concerned, can wear those things, right? She's got nice long hair, otherwise looks lovely, but you know what I mean? What would you do? You know the logic of the answer. Don't fool with it. See? Brother Branham says on tape, the devil is a slicker wearing black patent shoes. Does he mean it's wrong to wear them? No. He's just telling you that he's not out there at the club dressed like a gorilla and going to bang you on the head. He's sweet. He's charming. Patent slippers is just a vernacular. Certainly just a vernacular. You know, you remember Brother Branham died at age 56. Well, let's go on back when patent slippers was a sign of the, you know, the titty -pitty catty -kitty -toe stuff, you know this. That's a smart seductive guy. He just uses vernacular. He didn't call anybody square like the present generation. I guess that's old -fashioned now, too. And cool it, man, and all that kind of stuff. I guess that's old -fashioned, too. I don't know the modern slang. Well, he had to go back to his slang, which was the patent slipper. So, no, nothing wrong with the patent slipper.

Now, regard them. Oh, man, that's a long one. Our testimony services according to the order of the New Testament Church. Not really. It's usually a place where you can grind an ax. The only place that I think Brother Brandon called for a testimony was to get up and give the people a word on what had immediately happened in your life relative to the wonderful power of Almighty God. That's the only time I've ever heard anybody calling anybody to testify. And they give a word on what God had done for them, showing He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. Current, up -to -date, what He's done the last little while. But it's not in order. in the sense that you can stand in one of these services and do it. The only place you could do it would be in a special meeting called for because these meetings are teaching meetings. When you come together as a pastor, that's to teach you. And you sit down and listen while he applies the word. Even with our private ministry in another room and then they support the pastor by the pastor bringing what they said was authenticated by the congregation and you reach it to the people to see if it comes to pass. Follow me? It's on the tape. You can get it. All right. If women should rise to read the Word and testify, I don't know any time any woman would rise to read the Word. I know of no time. That would be the first sneaky step in getting into preaching.

There'd be no place for her to rise and read that Word. Testify as you were called upon as to something current in your life. But to testify, no, never testify to the milkman. The church is not a place to testify, it's a place to learn. Remember, Brother Brown said, you cannot work if God... unless you come according to the messenger you worship. Only according to the messenger. I'm not talking five -fold now. The messenger, the agency. Now, in a small group without a God -called leader should more than one speak during the service. Well, I tell you, you believe this message. All right. Then if you haven't got a pastor or somebody, what you simply do is someone not able. Now, remember, if that person is going to be a speaker in your group, the least he can be is an elder. And elders must be ordained, not by the church elective vote. and not by the church. He must be ordained by someone in authority because that's what the Bible said. Paul said to Timothy Titus, he said, ordain elders, he prayed. It would have to be something that the person wants to do himself. He must be apt to teach. He must have all the qualifications both in Titus and in Timothy. You can read it for yourself. And then someone will ordain him and he can do it. Otherwise, the best thing you can do is to have someone who has a love of the Lord in your heart, that you know is a good, sincere person, and let him lead in prayer. Maybe lead in a song or so, or ask someone else to pray, and a woman could pray. Now, they're wrong. A woman could sing. She might even pitch the song for you. Have you all right? Then push the button to the tape. Right, following? Use the tape, because you keep her in the message, so we're not going to go outside the message. We're going to stick with it. Now, Brother Graham wrote to folk in Connecticut. They were doing their best they could. They never had elders and deacons. They were praying tapes. He said, continue as you are praying until God brings you a pastor. So whatever you're doing, just follow hearing those tapes and teach your church in order in this respect. Brother Brown says, the evidence of the Holy Spirit is believing the word. He also says you must have an experience of the Lord to prove it. No, I didn't say experience of the Lord to prove it. He said you must have an experience. Don't add those words. He didn't put them in there. You see, proof is evidence. Now you're going from evidence to evidence. Your question is wrong, although your heart's right.

See? The evidence is the Holy Ghost. If you have the evidence, then you have the Holy Ghost. But you will have an experience when you have the Holy Spirit. But now remember this, what did Brother Branham say? He said, the Holy Spirit in this age is received without evidence. And he said, don't you get involved with those emotions, jumping up and down and shouting and all those things, although that, in a way, is fine. What did he say? He said, you, being God, you're baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. You... Have hands laid on you. You take a stand at that minute and press into it. Don't turn back. Just keep going on. And it's like a growth. You'll come right into it. You following? Just like Abraham. The day you believed God, that's the day you took your stand. That's the day you crossed over Jordan. And don't turn back. Don't go back over Jordan. Don't build another altar. Just press in. Press in because he said you grow into it. He used many expressions. And I'm using this to show you. And there'll come a day when you realize,

by the Holy Spirit's use of that word in your life, you say, that's it. I am one of those. See? You say, well, I didn't have a great experience. You'll have a shout instead of you. They won't be able to hold you in. See? He also said, can you, can a woman have the baby and not know that she's under anesthetic, maybe? There

is a teaching that the elders and pastors are the same. That's entirely wrong. The elders and pastors are not the same. Brother Branham Canning Lord, he said, the elders and deacons are not part of the fivefold elected ministry. They're not. God does everything in heaven, so therefore he has to add to those five that he laid down, elders and deacons, just like he has to add Eve to betray Adam. There has to be someone to betray the church because a five -fold ministry cannot do it. I'm not saying this to get you to have respect for the five -fold ministry. I'm saying this for you to respect the Word. See? The elders are men who feel that they want to serve God, but they're not pastors, prophets, apostles, teachers, evangelists. So they serve God in the capacity... of taking the activity of very work a pastor can do. But remember, when God told Brother Graham, do the work of evangelist, that's what God said to Timothy. Paul said to Timothy also. But remember, Timothy was not an evangelist, he was a pastor. And he was ordained the elder. The elder's positivity can take the work and do the work of a pastor. Many times the congregation is so large, you need extra help, and so you can ordain the elder to do it. And if the congregation is so large, or he ministers some other place in the city near you, and you cannot attend to his withdrawal, then you can take the time and pay the elder, and that means six people can have the time, five folks plus one, but never the decent. Follow me? There's even the reason he doesn't eat. Now, this is on tape, so if you don't catch too much of them saying, pray the tape over, providing you want to see. Please explain Isaiah 4 and 1. That's where seven men take ahold of skirts of one man. Brother Brown said that happens at the end time. And I believe it does. I believe that women just run back and forth to this man or that man. And women's lives, you know, we're equal and we'll do our own thing. And you do your thing and we'll come together and sleep together and just be man and wife. And then if I like this bird, I'll go to him. End time, rotten, filthy condition. But I think it's also a spiritual application where we find that the churches are all going to go into one great big melting pot with the Pope. Remember, that's just spiritual. The prophet told what I said first. Are the Jews alive now and the spirit of Elijah and Moses will come on them or are they alive? Brother Branham answered that question 64 and he said that's a good one. I wish I knew the answer. So let's put it this way. If they are not absolutely positively Moses and Elijah which he indicated but did not say thus that the Lord they would be they will certainly be two men upon whom is that spirit Elijah and Moses. My own opinion is that Brother Branham leaned toward the fact that they would be alive and Moses I see nothing to stop it. You say, how come? Because God can do what he wants, and it takes care of that. Yes, sir. If you don't believe it, then how come John received the Holy Ghost while he was in his mother's womb?

God pulled a double switch and prayed favor. Hallelujah. I'm glad he did. That's why we're elected. I've got no fight with God. Whatever he does is fine. And I'm not just getting old and senile now, but I really think the God of all this world is a just God. He'll do right. And that takes care of it. Now, if a person is falling in this mess, he's dying of sickness, and this day sure can. If so, will they rise when the dead in Christ rise? Absolutely. Don't anybody fool you on that stuff. Elijah. Elijah died with the sickness where he was sick. Right. Is that right? Absolutely. That's what the Bible said. Elijah. Not Elisha, but Elisha died with that sickness. They put him in a pit. And his bones were all that was left. And one day a man died. And then here comes the Philistines or somebody or Midianites. They got so scared they dropped the man in the pit. And when his dead body hit those bones up, he rose. He got to that grave so fast. I wonder what they felt when he came running out of that pit. I wish I'd have been there. But all I told you, you guys didn't scare the baby like me.

I'm not going to talk bull when I could be pretty cowardly. Don't you worry. You can die sick and you can go to heaven well. So you have known. Now, don't worry about that. People are getting a little doctorate going on right now. If you die, it proves you weren't crying. Oh, come on. Who are you trying to kid?

Now, don't fall for that nonsense. Where's the prophecy? Didn't you say it? Then don't add to the word. Here goes your praise. Who wants a bunch of praise?

I'm not listening.

I'm just trying to change your mind. I'm giving you real insight. If you follow this nonsense and add it to the word of God, that'll go you to tribulation. Then if you turn around and take away from what the prophet said, there goes your name. See, we're dedicated to this message. If anything I want in my life is to know exactly what he said, and if I don't know it, at least to say exactly what he said. And stand on it now. My mother's a widow, not needing any help financially. My wife presents me doing with her mother. But all of having shared things with her, I find it difficult to please them both. What should I do? You should spend some time with your mother, but the majority absolutely with your family. If your mother's taking more of your time, and even a greater percentage, then shame on you. Your praise is with your family. You already said she doesn't need your help financially, and that lets you off the hook. If she needs your help financially, then do what you can, but your family comes first, because as Brother Brandon said, you're worse than an infidel if you don't stick with that family. When you took that wife, you left your father and mother, not to abandon them, and not to say, well, come on, mom, talk to you after the resurrection. No. Treat them right. Treat them sweet. When you can go home, go home, but do it only in a proper percentage. And if the wife is crapping at you because you do go home, and you're a good son, stay home. It's just a greedy little thing.

One day the table will be turned on her if the Lord cares, because what you sow, you reap. So certainly... Go home and see your parents and be real sweet and do nice things for them and buy them little gifts and things. Show them you appreciate them. The worst thing in the world is for parents to be broken hearted and greedy, grabby kids. They can't wait for their car to get cold.

Follow me? So go home and see her in a proper proportion. They'll wipe the same way. See your parents. Remember you wives, the Bible does not say you need father and mother. You're the ones that want to speak to the family. So husband, be understanding of the wife. She'll want to go home more than you. Unless we've got some genes to it somewhere.

Okay. You take a pledge given in love and not mean just something. Is it necessary for a young person who's grown up believing the message to have a certain experience to claim as a baptism of the Holy Ghost? We talked about it. Yes, you will have. You will definitely have. But remember this. It's far easier for you as a child to receive this message. Why? Because you have the pure Word of God. And when you've got the pure Word of God, all you've got to do is be baptized in water in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and have hands laid on you and that's it. Where

else is there to go? Your faith is perfect with the Word. You've never heard anything else. Your mind's not all boggled down and spruced up as Brother Barron was, eh? Surely, that would be the day. And laid on you, if you felt nothing happened, said, Glory to God, I am Abraham. He said, I was a father nation. I don't care what it looks like. I don't care what it feels like. I am what he said, and it will be manifested. Just keep on walking with Abraham, it will manifest. God, why? Because that's the Word. Don't go by what you think you heard what somebody said to boggle you down. Ask him where the vindication is. 99 % have me see the blister here in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, may praise. And they try to deinterpret the word of God. Well, you've got to upset the Lord's vindicated prophet. Stand up there and say, I challenge you.

I ain't going to accept no challenge. I'm going to say, yes, sir, yes, sir, yes, sir. As fast as I can talk, I'll say, yes, sir. You gave your sermons on the Godhead. Well, you'd have to write me for them, but I don't have much weight to get in the mouth. Every time we try to turn out tapes, it was machines break down. I got close to $1 ,000. The tape recorder's standing there right now. We somebody else have.

I don't know. Before them, somebody's got them, like both. Anybody's got them. We'll try to help you if we can. Write me a letter. I'll see if I can help you. We are a small group of people without a pastor or any ordained elder, although there are qualifying brothers. We meet in the house. How do we conduct our meetings so as not to violate church order? Well, if you have men that could qualify as elders but they're not elders, you just go right ahead and let somebody open with prayer and maybe read the scripture or take the prayer request and then go ahead and play the tape. I'm not sure that I would advise too many people to attempt to preach under those conditions, but as your group grows, you might possibly, if this person feels he's ready to take authority in the church, that by the word of God, to preach this truthfully and the best of his ability, who's got confidence in him because of his life, witnessing to him, you may have somebody, some past you know, maybe come in and talk with you and ordain this person because I know of no other way to do it. And then he would go ahead and work in your midst. Now, what did you mean that we have become crystallized in our thinking? Well, I mean crystallized is that the people who believe that Brother Bannon has to come back and have a literal change. And I won't argue with them. They're just as... They believe in more than ever. Those who believe in Brother Bannon, the Lord Jesus Christ, believe in more than ever. Now, what I believe, I believe in more than ever. I say as fluid as I can, but I can't deny we're getting crystallized. In other words, that way we were going in 1965... 67 we crystallized in 68 roughly 69 we're crystallizing more and and right down the line we've seen more and more what we believe to be now of course this means only one thing it means that somebody's got to be right but who's to prove he's right that's why you walk in love and help each other all you can as the word haven't means we're more and more firm in the way we believe please explain body soul and spirit born again well that's exactly right you've got a body you've got a spirit you've got a soul Now, when you're born again, and not just anointed, when you're born again, the Spirit of God goes down into your soul, changing your life. Now, if you're not truly born again, the Spirit of God simply anoints your spirit, and you can talk in tongues and manifest gifts, and look like a real genuine Christian, but you won't line up with the Word. Now, I can't say more than that, because this would take a long time. Please explain Brothers Walker's dream. I can't do it.

But if you hear the sermon, know it or not, you will find that Brother Brandon said, Brother Walker's dream and Brother Robertson's vision was the same thing. Now you can take it from there. I can't help you. Does an elder have to be married? Yes, sir. If he is married, does his family have to be following the Lord? Or does he just have to be acting as he does? Well, look, if you can't make your grown children, those that have grown up, you can't make them a big dog. But if that man himself is a real man of God, and he has brought those children up right, and he has departed from his home now, then that's all right. But remember, those kids got his feet under his table. He has got to be the authority in that house. Now he cannot make them be born again. See? He cannot make them genuine Christians. But he can stand for the truth and what is propriety as a Christian. And if he doesn't do that, then he couldn't be an elder. He couldn't be. You follow what I said now? You can't make your kid boring. Nobody can. It's impossible. See?

Of course, God intervened and turned it right around. So that man himself had brought those children up right. See? And while they're in his home, because remember, this is the law as far as I'm concerned, I lay down in my own home. When those children are eating my food and got their feet under my table, they're going to have to go my way between. So I say no television, that's it. As I said, no certain picture shows, that's it. You have an authority. And this is what you would have to do, is that you cannot make anybody do anything in the spiritual line. That's his God. When God comes in there, that desire to do those things. Why does Paul the prophet in this picture say that he is an elder? And also Peter. He's coming to the word elder in the Greek simply means the oldest one in Christ. And you cannot get anybody older in Christ than the apostles. All elders according to the terms of their service to the Lord Jesus Christ. And this is what an elder in the church is. He's a man who is older in Christ. You don't take the newly young converted boy because he's got a lot of zeal. And he seems to have a lot of sense. He hasn't been tested and tried. he must be the older in christ and when he's the older in christ is that he will not be easily fooled by the devil because this is the first thing a man must be able to show he cannot be easily tricked by the devil now it doesn't mean that you cannot be tricked but it means that you're the type that isn't normally naturally tricked you've got a spiritual spiritual understanding now how did jesus how did jesus turn back to the logos and yet remain as a man to intercede forth. Well, let's remember that Jesus was not God because God cannot be born. Remember, Jesus is the beginning of the creation of God. God creating himself in the form of human flesh. Brother Brenner said the sperm and the egg were both created by Almighty God and brought forth the second Adam. The last Adam. The second man, the last Adam. Adam was the first Adam in the flesh. Jesus was the last Adam. There's no more. God made two creations. But remember, the one he made through the sperm and the egg bringing it forth to the woman into an astral birth. That was not God. That was a man. Christ Jesus. Why? Because he was anointed by the Holy Ghost. God came down the river Jordan and absolutely filled him with himself. So the fullness of the Godhead was in Jesus' body. And now then, when Jesus was upon the cross, into thy hands, O God, I commend my spirit. That could have been speaking of just the spirit of man. Commending it. He also cried, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Because God left the sacrifice. God cannot die. God had to identify with the body. And death came by the fact that a body was there and could die. Remember the book of Acts says that he purchased it with his own blood. The blood of God is the Lord Jesus Christ. The sacrificial lamb. Now then, remember the spirit of God left him. It had to. Absolutely need him. God left him hanging upon Calvary. Then he gave up the goat himself. See, God couldn't kill him. Why? Because he was righteous, even hanging upon the cross. So of his own will, he willed to give it all up. So his spirit went back to God. And there he hanged now as a corpse. God raised up that corpse. Walked upon earth for 40 days, seen a man for 40 days. This is where that period of time comes in, 30 to 45 days, Brother Brad speaks of. Because he was upon earth in the resurrection form. We don't know that all those saints were there. We believe they were because when he ascended up on high to take... captive and captive, he was leaving them with him. So he began for the saints to be on earth, 30 to 40 some days, you see. As my brother Brandon said, they knocked him a gift within Green Lake Isle or somewhere. And now, you

hear the church age tape, not the church age book. You will find brother Brandon said that he was behind the throne on the mediatorial intercessory throne or seat as the mediator bringing them in and the intercessor keeping them in. And in Revelation 5, he came from the midst of the throne. and took the book out of the hand of him sitting upon the throne. Now remember, the body is not the Holy Ghost. The body is trained by God, formed by God. So what is it then? Brother Branham said, he changed his mask. God went back to being a pillar of fire. Now our identification is with the Lord Jesus Christ. And only can we get to God through him because he's a human being. And he, a man, Christ Jesus the man, lives to make intercession. Now if this man, that has not yet descended to earth. But God can come and go as a pillar of fire. And if he wanted to come 20 times, there is no problem. And

this is where I understand Brother Grant's teaching on the Godhead. He never said one thing about there not being, in my understanding, he never said one word about there not being a literal, absolute, physical return of the Lord Jesus Christ. In fact, he did say the physical return is what we're looking for now. I forget what tape it's on, but I have my notes at home, and I've got the actual quote written down. several quotes written down as to where he talks about his physical return. But remember, when you talk about God, you must take the statement Brother Brown said, Jesus was not God, but he was God. He wasn't God when he was born. God can't be born. God can't die. God hasn't got a physical body.

He hasn't. He's God. He's spirit. See? But he changes his mass. Terror of fire. Clouds. Rock. Friendly rock. Water coming out of the rock. Those, of course, symbolize him. Remember, that cloud was really that terror of fire. was real, and that's the body was real. Remember he appeared to Abraham? So, when you talk about Jesus turning back, you're speaking in terms of God having identified himself with Jesus, your Lord and your God. Like they said, my Lord and my God. And he didn't say don't say that. He was the Lord and God. He was. He is.

And down right here, he came down to the pillar of fire. But he set to come back in the body of the Lord Jesus Christ for the wedding supper of the Lamb. He will appear to the Jews the same way. They scream out, this is our God. He'll save us. You know what I believe they see? The pillar of fire. Because Brother Brown said in the tape, he said, Jesus appeared to the Jews in a symbol. And I don't think any other symbol could be. Now, I'm not saying I'm right here. But my literal understanding, my understanding is that I can't quote Brother Brown. I don't know. When they scream, this is our God. He'll save us. They're so happy with the pillar of fire. Everybody repulsed and destroyed. That's 144 ,000. Those virgins. given us, attends the Bride, our Satan, then I believe that if he steps out of the pillar of fire and stands there as a man. And they said, what's going on? Then he just turned his palms and they see the nail print. And they said, oh my, oh my, did he say this to kill us? And they began getting very frightened like when Joseph revealed himself to his brethren. They made known who he was. And he said, no, he said, if it were to get to him and that they kept him at home, he doesn't say what I think he's going to say.

And they said, oh, don't worry, I've got him in the house of my friends. And that's when they go to the shock of mourning. And remember, there are two atonements. One is blood and one is mourning. They turn down the blood so they go through the mourning. And what does he do? He comforts those that mourn. It's all right. Those that scream in the morning, he goes, you see? So this is, I understand, this will take a long, long time and very careful notes to try to trace it one point at a time. But I do not have any thought in my mind. at this time that there is no such thing as an intercessor called Jesus, the man, the man Christ Jesus. But God simply changed his man. As Brother Branham said in the Take Your Church, Take, Take, he is there behind the throne on the seat of intercession, the seat of his mediatorial ministry.

Now, explain

the terrible heaven's hour work. Well, as far as I know, Brother Branham mentioned that in the heaven's hour, that word is going on, it goes on to the end of time, and God is dealing with and doing the... same thing for the people all through the ages. And it doesn't matter that if you come in at the very tail end or knowledge, you'll just be a part of that bride, a part of every place that God has placed you. What is Samson's out of the shadow? I'm not going to take some shadows. I don't know. What is David's out of the shadow? Brother Brandon mentioned it in there that as David read it, that foreshadowing Christ overcoming Satan also could be a foreshadowing of the bride dealing with the end time great superstructure of the ecumenical moves, staying clear of it. and then coming back to take over. In fact, I'm not going to inspect the channel. You've got to forgive me. They explain Daniel 44, who were these kings in the days of these kings, the Son of God, who set the kingdom on earth. Those kings are Babylon, and Reda, Persia, and Greece, and Roman Empire. And it's in the astro -historical day of those four years, which will be

revised by him, you know, the sword that had almost destroyed, he received it, as Romans have taught,

that God inserted,

and that can be taken out. So that's the days of those kings. Now, if you don't have time to do that, well, that's just all right here. Now, if you just bring Luke 20, 27, there'll

be no children, and then still no children, and seven brothers hammer, and no children. You know what that could be? That could be two to have two, one, three wives at one time. That's great, right? Those brothers were married. They have to do

absolutely the same things in there because they got them right from their father. You know, the Levi was in the loins of his great -great -grandfather, Abraham. That's where he was. Every single one of those boys had the same genes. But God, by selection, directs the correct... firm to the correct day so therefore the brother could take the widow would not be the one who committed the act of procreation it would absolutely be the son of his dead brother that's why God killed Onan for withdrawing and filling the seat on the ground because Onan knew the son was not his to be his brother and that sounds very crazy everybody but us because we believe the word and love the Lord and we understand it Because the genes come on down. Now remember, every child actually has to be in two people. Two, two, two written receptacles. Adam and the serpent. There's no other place they work. Notice. It's like I plant a lemon seed or a pear seed. Every single one, every single lemon, every single orange, every single apple, every single pear is already in the original seed. Or where is it? Well, that's all there is to it. It's in the genes. And there's got to be spiritual election. That's why God has to keep from destroying Israel. Of course, they could have all been in Moses.

The mixed multitude were carriers. Brother Graham said so. They were carriers that brought forth the elect of Almighty God. All right, 1 Corinthians 14 and 32. Now, I can't do it too long on that. You either caught what I said and believe it, or you didn't catch it, or you don't believe it. One or two. Which is all right. The spirit of the prophet is such a prophet. Brother Graham has discussed that many times. He said, you don't have to jump up and down and disrupt the meeting. He said, your spirit's subject to you. God made you think and jump. God made you get up. No, sir, God didn't. You got up because you wanted to get up. Maybe the spirit of God was so near to you and you didn't let your mind go to get a revelation, so you just thought, well, I've got to do something. So jump up and jump up and jump up. No. Not good. Your spirit's subject to you. It doesn't say the spirit of God is subject to you. It says your spirit is a prophet. Your own spirit's subject to you. Isn't that what Brother Brown said? You've got a free moral agency? Writing your spirit into one place is free to make a choice. Is that right? And you can make a choice to follow church order or not. Right? Okay, regarding tithes, it's just different than offerings and so on. Well, the tithe is different from the offering because the tithe is categorically set down in the Word of God and reinforced by thus that the Lord of the Prophets goes to the ministry. The pastors are responsible for collecting the tithe. But remember, the tithe goes to the ministry, not the minister. So therefore, if you abundance the people in one church to obtain tithe, And this pastor himself is obligated to collect those tithes with the authority in the church, with the Jews and the deacons, and their set of tithes, and what he does not need in the sense of his personal usage. And remember, some preachers should be very grabby and want 50 million bucks a year for their use because they're great users. So come on, let's go down the line. Brother Brown took 100 bucks for himself. I don't say the preacher does that because he had to have a spending account. He never would have got by 100 dollars, let's face it. He had to have some kind of a spending account when he did that. So let's go to the Bible, right? That's a great daguerreotype. All right. There were 12 tribes, took care of one tribe, right? They're two tribes in the middle, is that correct? And 12 tribes around them, three on each side, lying off single -team soil. Man. Now, they were guarding, of course, Israel, looking inside toward the Ark of the Covenant, backing up the word. So therefore, 12 tribes took care of one tribe, and every single person was a tithe payer, right? So therefore, 12 times took care of one tribe. 12 times take care of one family. You say, why should the preacher get 20 % more than the average member of the congregation? Ask the preacher. He'll tell you. Who has more people come to his house than anybody else? Who takes care of the welfare of the saints more than he? Who's the first man calling somebody sick and he finds that the kids got cold so they don't have food and fuel in the house? The preacher. He's got to have at least 20 % above the average congregation. No doubt about it. Now, how does he get more? He's got to get more by giving.

But the priest was not meant to live in luxury. Now, what do you do with the balance of it? You disseminate it for the ministry. That's what it's for. See? You say, then why don't the preachers use more? Well, look, we're all in the same boat. You can give, I can give, everybody can give. Now, I'm not saying, you're not saying this is upset the Lord, but I'm quoting you what Brother Graham said about the tithe for the ministry. You're going to say, for that, I'm giving you a tithe to help you understand that there could be times a minister needs more than an average person needs. But you're going to have to follow this thing up yourself. But I say what the prophet said, the tithe is for the ministry. And this is what's wrong in a lot of places, a lot of people don't love, because that they're not stand up. They don't have the help, and they should have the help. But on the other hand, neither do I endorse a bunch of people standing around ready to jump on a preacher or his church that does have a lot of money on hand and teaching day and night that they feel they're preachers and somebody ought to break down and tell you something. Get out and prove you're a preacher. Nobody stood behind you as a tiger and said, when I went down the road not knowing where I was going, I had no money to get there, but I got there. And I've done it more than once. It proved you got something. Because even an elder who's doing, to be honest, he's doing full -time service, he can't have a plug nickel. But if that man is an elder, and he's doing a full -time job in that church, the Bible essentially says he's worthy of double honor and goes on to say, thou shalt not smuggle the off the credit off the corn, so that makes you know that you put him on salary. What does it tell his time? Because it goes to ministry. The tithe is the minister. Now, there's many questions in here that say, can I use it on a building? You cannot use it on a building. Brother Brown said it cannot go to widow. It cannot go to orphan. He said, if I have 25 cents that God tithed in my pocket and I was starving, I said I'll buy a loaf of bread. Now, that's putting it strong. He didn't bore that 25 cents if he was hungry. Then you pay back 20 % more. God said add a nickel to it. Give him 30 cents now. He said, well, that's God taking usury. Well, he's a smart dinner man. Just pat him on the back and say, I like it. that kind of a man's already done. Don't fuck. Just say, praise God, do it. Now, this was quite a long subject, but I don't want to take all the passes. But look, there's many, many cases. And if you drop another book, you can get some of the posts there, too. But you'll find that there is no great secret concerning Brother Graham as absolutely orthodox and fundamental on seeking a child. He could have been a super -duper Seventh -day Adventist or a Pentecostal on this subject. Not the other subject, but on this subject. He could have been one of their best men. It's just simply orthodox, the teaching. There's no great secret about it. And if you want an orphan, do it as an orphan. And remember, Paul the Apostle said more than one thing. He told them, do not forget those that have a need. And remember what is an orphan. See? And this is what I do myself, and I advise you to do it. Until I give a time. All right, give a time. You say, I don't make much money. Look it, I was only getting $45 a week and less when I still paid 20%. I tried to serve God by serving Brother Bram and me. I got an offering. Where my offering was in that week? $33, about 33 cents. What was I in motel? $6 a night for six nights. $36. Add the food. Add the cost of literally 2 ,000 miles to drive there and to get home. You can add it all up. I went in the hole. How much? Figure it out.

Doesn't mean a thing. He'll deal with it tomorrow. Because God cares. I'm going behind. There'll come a day when you'll come out on top. You don't care, God. He didn't lie to you. I had people so concerned that I had to feed the trucks in a million dollars because I said, I don't worry. I got a name. Old brother Bill's got a lot of money. He's got a name. No, I give my 20 % to start with. Then more than any of this. I've got a name. Ever seen God have a crop feeder? You know, there's a good joke about the farmer. Faith, hope, and charity grab the farmer. In spring, he plants in faith. All summer, he hopes. In winter, he lives on charity. But that's not God. That's not God. When you plant the way God says, set their dreams, the droughts can come. You press and you hit it, and you still get to set their dreams.

Okay.

All right. Praise the Lord. Now, we believe this bright message. I've heard some people say, I've heard from people who say they read the message. It's being said we must return to great signs and wonders and miracles like the prophet was here. We must fast and pray. All right, do you want to fast? Do you really want to fast? Then don't do it more than three days.

Brother Brannan's categories he stated. You must not fast except in very short periods of three days at the maximum.

Franklin Hall is right on the tape. He told me personally, so therefore I'll take the duty. He went to Franklin Hall and said, do not publish those. books on fasting or you would destroy people. And it did. They got in that prayer closet fasting and praying and they literally forced the hand of God and look where we are today. Keep away from us unless it's short past. Pray. Pray all the time. Make your life be an attitude of prayer. What's prayer for? Gimme, gimme, gimme? No, sir. As Brother Branham said it, I've said it many times and say it again. Prayer is not a hidden prayer. Anyway, prayer is to get you and me in a place where we're amenable to the will of Almighty God. thy will be done. And remember, the will of God is not only to suffer, but to glorify Him. So when you get the whole will, you with meekness will see God shine forth in your life because you prayed to get to that place. Don't try to force Him. Now, what about signs and wonders and miracles? Brother Brad said, hold it right there. The big thing you think you're looking for is going to go to the Jews under Elijah and Moses. Would the bride have thus said the Lord? Surely will. She will do thus said the Lord. She'll have a ministry. She's just like breathing and sleeping. It's going to be natural. And I don't think they thought that the Lord left fire upon them. Now look, I'm not saying it couldn't happen. And I've got no hope for it to happen.

I'm not saying it couldn't. Maybe someone will do it. You say, well, the creative word is in the bride. I believe it will. You say, well, we all create. I have a least or foggiest idea.

What am I doing? I'm willing to wait for what he wants me to do. And I'll know when he wants me to do it, and I'll do it. In the meantime, brother, sister, looking for the cross that may come in won't be. I'm going to feed on the old corn until the new corn comes.

See, I'm going to feed on this word. I'm going to do what he's been telling me to do. I'm going to keep my faith. And when God changes a thing, I want to be in that thing. But I won't be in that thing looking way down the road and listening to turns down here. You remember what the prophet said, and I stand with him. They're all the time looking back. They're all the time looking forward, but they don't know what's going on. Get wise today, brother, sister. Find out from what he taught. What's going on now? And stick with it. You say, well, brother, today we want to see God working in me. Why don't you stop working? You

just think I ought to be healed more. No matter what you're saying, you get down and pray.

Don't go standing up with your mouth open and this and that and the other thing. Just hear words after the prophet brought you back. Right? If I wanted to see something done, I'd just do what the prophet said. You got a real problem, call the church. Get down on your knees. Prowl through. You'll get an answer. Sure. Best if the person's on his toes for God. If he courts the person living wickedly, then... You've got to get that person to make this thing right. I'd like to know what time of the day it was in 24 hours that the Lord suffered me, sir. At night. But why? I don't know. I don't know if he did it at night or not. I can't remember. But usually they put them together to have it at night. What time of night? Midnight? Midnight time? Just nighttime. See? I'm supposed to make it nice if you wait till the sun goes down. That would be logical. Dark outside. At nighttime. Alright. What is the position of a woman whose husband asks her to do things in their person like they're doing things? Don't do it. Don't do it.

No, sir. Don't you dare do it. You don't have a thing to do with it. No, sir. Not one thing. Your husband, your obedience, your husband only is in the Lord. And there are three things he cannot compel you to do. He cannot compel you to stop praying, to stop going to church, and walking with the Lord Jesus Christ by the word. If he drives it and tries to force you, you have to leave him. Did I say that right? I hope so. You say, well, he's content to live with me. Not if he tries to make you a ranch sinner. You've got to take your stand. That's right. You cannot live for your husband if he would tell you to rob a bank or do some rotten, filthy thing. If he asked you to do something which is sexually unclean, you have no right to comply to it. In fact, Brother Branham, in the tenderest words he could, so no one in the appendix screamed out against him. And we ourselves wondered what it was all about. So personally ask the source closest to him, why are you reading this? And if you can't guess who I'm talking about, you just don't know anything. And the answer came back, what I'm giving you now, that he knew by vision what some men were doing in their personal lives of their wives, and he saved it. So the answer is no, absolutely no.

Right? Right? You've got to take a sin and submit as unto the Lord.

This word is so full of... rotten filthy uncleanness that's your mind mind mind there's no place you can turn anymore what you see now don't try to be too puritanical about this stuff because if you do you get in trouble like

a personal witness i'll have to let my hair down and tell a little about this i talked to brother brandon one day and you know i carp a lot because i guess i'm that kind of fish i just go back out and then the carp i cut i was very disgusted one day I saw that knock on your brother's back and I said, this thing is sure a stinking rotten mess and I wish I'd rather. And I was talking along the line of, I forget my exact words, I'll try to recall them for you to make it sensible. Now that's not a fact. I think of the relationships of overdoing sex or something. I can't recall these exact words. And he whirled on me and he said, if you're a married man, it's all right for you. Oh, I said, brother Branham, I'm not talking about overindulgence in my life. What I'm talking about is the fact that every billboard got it, every TV screen, every theater market. Every book, everything, set, set, set, 14 ,000 miles high, until you can't get away. You can't look anywhere. You can't think anywhere about it. What did I say to you? I'm against that, too. It's just that other thing, though, you watch. In other words, some of you might get an idea that you're some sweet little queen goddess because you're not your husband. You're wrong.

And some men say, well, I'm so perky now, I don't touch her either. You're wrong. You'll get trapped if you're not careful. Now, listen, I was 50 years old when you told me I'm 57 now. Now, if you told that to a 15 -year -old man, what's he going to say to a 25 and a 26 and a 21 and a 19 that's married? You get married just to turn around and think you're some kind of a person different than anybody else? See? Now, certainly the debt is undefined, but of course you've got to watch how you use that, too. You follow me now? Look, we're in the middle of the road, people, not down in some ditch or some in Quagmire or some mess or someplace else. If we're anything at all, God's done something for us. You ought to have at least some type of honor and integrity. and actually good common sense. Because God has not given us the spirit of fear and of insanity, but a sound mind. So let's not push these things. We have people right today who are messed up because of wrong teaching along this line. Now, I hope you understand how I do this. I do this to help you. Not to try to glorify any subject because we're sick of the whole stinking mess. We don't want to be too mad when we're taken out of it. Now, both are teaching to me and obey the message, but he is not even overcome. Who said he's not even overcome these things?

You've got to be kidding.

You think because I have a temper, I've got to go kill somebody? I

don't care how much he says he likes this and likes that. I'm certain he's made to that end. But if he's filthy, absolutely ridiculous. Huh? You see what he can't help himself? He better have something cast on him. I don't mean to be tough and hard up here, but come on, let's face this thing. You just can't do certain things. That's all there is to it. You just can't.

Even if you say, well, the guy's brother needs help. That's fine. We need help. Then let's have help. Bring the thing right up with a pastor or somebody, and let's get help on him. Well, you're not going to help anybody this time. We both believe in messaging. We want that dirty, rotten thing here to still turn an old sound into sorcery. Now, I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings here, so let's face this thing. Let's get down to brass tacks. See? Like this old horsefly wants to grab me there. The devil wants to grab me in another thing here, too. Now, come on, Corrie, swap that thing. I

have to swap them myself. I'm not too good at using both. Using my eyes, watching these notes here. Now, say, you explain Acts 13, 2 -3. What's Acts 13, 2 -3? Oh, that's about Paul and Barnabas. Now it says here, as they ministered and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, separate you, Paul, and Barnabas for the work I've called in. And when they fasted and prayed, they made hands and said, wait, that's right, they fasted and prayed. How long? Day and night for six years? Or three months? Or forty days? No, they just fasted and prayed, Jerry.

Just because they fasted and prayed doesn't mean, oh, I think it was forty days. Doesn't mean forty days. Well, I think it was six weeks. Wasn't six weeks. Well, I think it was maybe eighteen days. Wasn't eighteen days. They just fasted and prayed. Now, they could have done it many days by intermittent fasting and praying. But you see what they were doing? They did fast and they did pray. And it's fine to fast and it's fine to pray. And it's fine to pray and fast at the same time. Now, what brought the answer here? Do you think for one minute that these people had gifts and said, Paul, you and Barnabas are called? Why, they knew they were called long ago.

It was just that the Holy Spirit met the church military and the gifts ministered in the church. And so the whole church came together to that meeting where the gifts were manifested. And they said, don't you know it came out in our meeting today? And amongst us, that the Holy Spirit said that Paul and Barnabas are to be separated through prayer and fasting and were to send them away. And you know what? The Holy Spirit and the people said, yes, I believe that's right. They brought it before the whole church, and they said, Paul and Barnabas, you're here. Are you called? They said, you bet we are. Thanks for the confirmation. It says everybody's heart is eased now, and it shows the glory of God. Lay hands on it. We'll go. Sherman, what else could it be?

You've got to have your own call. This is what's messed everything up the last few years. Now, you know very well it's the false spirit that told men to go preaching because the same spirit... Told women to go preaching. How would you like to be told to go preaching by somebody who told a woman to go preaching?

Oh, Kevin, spare me. And I do need spare me. It's a little bit going too fast. Okay, I hope I had caught your thought there on that. If I didn't catch your thought, you try to see me later. All right, 1 Corinthians 13, 1 and 2. Though I speak with tongues of men and angels and have not loved, I become a sounding brass singing cymbal, have not brought to understand all mysteries, perhaps brought to understand so on. Now listen, what's he saying here? Look, as far as I recall, Brother Branham said, that Kelvin was not a real Christian. He

had nobody doing the doctrine of election. I don't think any better than Kelvin. His works are still absolute standard. He's 45 volumes. I have some myself. I don't read them. But if I wanted to read them, I'm sure I would find that Mr. Kelvin had it down absolutely beautifully.

Now, I wouldn't want to un -Christianize him, but I have to take statements of a higher authority. And there is such a thing as you and me. If we were not elect, we could absolutely know what somebody taught us and let it work. and understand it, and put it together in a wonderful way, with anointing upon us, and this is entirely. What Paul is saying here, you cannot have a revelation from God, and be in the bride, unless it is absolutely real to you by the Spirit.

Spiritually real to you, it's been revealed by the Holy Ghost, not simply a man's teaching, but it's a real revelation here, where the Word falls in line, and you're building your faith upon it, then that's all right. But remember, I had an experience just like this. I was in New York State, and I was going to a certain church, and there a boy came in there whose life always was below par. Well, don't you know that boy is smart? And I tell you, he's reading smart. And when I would preach there and preach some of the things that I would consider a little difficult to ask for, he'd ask them just like that. Man, he could take that message back the way I taught it and just bring everything that took me a long time to get the revelation on based on what the prophet said. He could get it just like that. Where is he today? He's going to ask the Christian. He never did show one bit of love to his wife. He never treated her as any kind. She was a sweet girl, did her best to live with him, loved him, did everything she could to help him. But every now and then he ran off and left her. Today he's messed up, gone off with the women and all. When you talk about knowing that word, sure you knew that word. Why? Because it came never. He could grasp it. He was good. But I'll tell you one thing. Now you can really check a lot of these things out. You just let that person attempt to really set it forth.

way you know it should be, and though you'll go down that line, there's something missing. The spirit in that man is not the same as in the man that originally taught it. Just go to the man that taught him. See? Just go to the person that taught him. As

the both talk, one doesn't have what the other has. Now look, I can outline my sermon notes if I want to, word by word, and make them pretty perfect so that I can get a scholar to understand it. And he can say, Brother Bale, I follow you. And if you didn't hear it, you You hear him preach and hear me preach. You're going to find one big difference, because to me it's pure revelation. To the other fellow, he simply got taught it. Now, so therefore, if it isn't pure revelation, there's something... I'm trying to get a little illustration here to help you. Now, that dear brother, that poor kid, begins to deal with people based on what I have taught him.

I could stand up there, not trying to say I've got something he's got nothing to do, just trying to illustrate things. Take those same things, and you will know. that there is something between me and that word spoken, where that word is a part of me and I'm part of that word. When it comes to the other person, there's a word there, and he's there, and there's a big division between the two. You follow me? See, that's how you could be. That's what, I guess, Brother Sir was trying to get across. There's a lot of people who say they're in the message, but the message is not in him. By that, you get to say a lot of things that are there. They knew the prophets and find the scriptures and all those things, but when it comes right down to it, And as we said, they're talking a lot of things, but not that word. See? Just sit down and just go back and forth and walk. That's it. Now, that sure sounded good. But what is mission? See? Can I talk with a tongue -in -hand angel? Sure. Have an audience? Yes, sure. Guys, if you don't have it here, you've got to say, we've got men who say they believe Brother Branham said he keeps his message. Well,

I'm glad they do. And the best they can. But when they put themselves forward as messengers and angels and got that and that and put Brother Branham aside. And call it dead men. I just don't know that they really bleed. All right, about the baptism of the Holy Ghost. It's a separate experience we have to have. From what I understand from the spoken word, it's bleeding the whole world to see it, too. I'll read the message with all my heart, but I'm confused now because one brother, Cal, told of his experience seeking the Holy Ghost. I want all there is to have. All right, now you're going to list a man's experience? Well, let's go to die. All right? You weren't here when I told you. Brother Branham and I were talking for four and one -half hours on the baptism of the Holy Ghost. And see, there's no dreams

of fall or what.

Now, I knew that I was not understanding what he talked about when he referred to the baptism of the Holy Ghost because he said it so many ways I knew I was confused. And I knew that if I was confused, a whole lot more was confused. And I'm not being proud of saying that. But if you're around as much as I was and it was confused, there's a whole lot of you weren't around and you could be quite more confused than I was. I said, Brother Brown, do you mean this? He said, no, you haven't done it. Go through it again. Well, I said, you know, from my mental understanding, of what I used to believe was the baptism and the rebirth. And he said, no, you haven't done it yet. Finally, after four and a half, I said, are you trying to tell me that the baptism was the Holy Ghost and the rebirth is the thinking? He said, now you've got a dog. So I tapped him and I said, hold it right there. What are you going to do with your experiences? He said, what experiences? I said, you know what your experiences are. I said, do yourself something to declare. It was that voice poking out of your tongue out of that cross of life that changed your life. And then

tell that your body is entering into your very spirit. I caught him at the back of the Holy Ghost. What are you going to do about that? And who's world on me is your brother? Go by experience. We go by the word itself.

Go by your brother if you want his experience. I'm not saying he's a bad boy. Boy no doubt has a good experience.

You can go by his experience. Brother Graham couldn't go by his. He

screamed out at me and I said, you think he laughed through the wet noodles? I'm going to carry you right now. He really laughed at that wet noodles.

He was the authority putting me in my place. Like, Paul, what came the word of God? I didn't care the word of God. I didn't do it. Who are you talking to? You're talking to prophecy. You watch your piece of news. You know, I thought Brother Brown was real sweet one time. I was ahead of him one time. You know, you catch the spirit and get a little ahead, so I wrote him an omen. Then he wrote back on that, hold your teeth. The time is not yet, now that isn't that sweet. I looked up the word hold your teeth, he sucked them out and got out of my ministry.

You know,

sometimes people like him in authority. I'm talking from the viewpoint of absolute knowledge of the situation. You don't go by experience. You go by what the prophet taught. And I already told you this morning what it is. You'll find it on any day. And if you want to find it, read it to them. You did with those tapes from 1963 on. Now remember, the seven seals were not fully open just in one week. It's because there's no division of the seven seals. It's not in your Bible. It's not in the symbols. It's a half -off, right? It's revelation. In Matthew 24, there's no seven seal there. Is there? No. He told us. Revelation. When that seven seal broke, seven thunders, right? And Brother Brown said, those seven thunders, that's what those seven seals were all about. Now remember, you had to go back to Arizona, right? And God told you to go to what for? The seven fields, right? What did you come back with? Marriage and divorce.

Now you know that's the truth. If I had my notes, I'd show you. When I told that to Johnny Paul, he said, sure, you're right. He told me you had to go back for marriage and divorce. Why? For the bloody naught of your sins. You're forgiven. Then you go to Michigan to do your bride? We said marriage and divorce is great. He told you it's amazing. Marriage and divorce is the same for you folks that got married and hitched your eyes and married somebody else. Forget it. What's in the breeze? You don't think I sat there just to hear him talk to you?

He would have said, now you folks have been married and divorced and remarried. I got a sermon for you, brother there. You haven't been that way. And brother Perry Green and brother Gunson, you boys, so stay out of it. Why don't you listen to me?

Boy, that's what I know he's talking about. One man says, I got it. You and I have got some more life. Oh,

brother, you talk about carnality. Marriage and divorce wasn't for something you couldn't get married. That's not the unforgettable thing. That's what I mean.

Good morning. Anyway, anyway, that's your point. Mary's divorced. She's part of the seven seas. So you don't go by experience? You go by the word of God? And you open up to us the word of God? 63 on, he crept to the earth. Somebody go, Brother Brannon told me way back there in that Hebrew series that the baptism of the Holy Ghost and the rebirth were two different experiences. If William Brannon himself had not made errors, then there wouldn't be the six, the seven seas opening to correct them.

There have been nothing to correct. So he said I used to believe the law was the evidence. God showed me a vision. It's not. Was it correct that he was

a human? Some people get so carried away with the utter nonsense of their own private interpretation that they think part of them did make a mistake. He said he did make a mistake. He used to call the white horse riders in Jesus Christ. In one place he called him Antichrist. So he was so mixed up he didn't know which way he was going. And God showed him. The

Bible told us this is how it would be. And he's the prophet to correct. So when you're corrected, you've got to be corrected first yourself. Christ must first suffer.

Understand? Right? How could any prophet then, if he himself were not first corrected, give up the correction? Here,

you go back to where he's gone. Just keep right with it, sister. Brother, I wrote that letter. Just keep right with it. Just like I said, Brother Brown said, when you get baptized in that water, and you come out of that water, hands are laid on you, you believe, and you keep right on going. Just like Abraham. You walk right into it. Mine upon mine, present upon present.

Oh, this is hard on the mind. Oh, this is hard enough. We go all to pieces because we can't be paid to talk to us. Oh, my. Oh, my. I can't stand my hair. I'm not being sarcastic about the one who wrote this. I'm being sarcastic about us. I don't miss anybody writing anything to that. Listen, I know how you feel. Don't think for one minute I don't. I tell you, that's why God keeps screaming out, not to help you any more than helping me. Oh, it's so much good to keep screaming out, stay with that word. Stay with that word. Don't go by experiment. It'll pay us.

I hope the word will come out of it and

watch what happens. You stand with that. What did Brother Brannon say about that poor guy that came crawling to him one day just to cry? Brother Brannon, I don't have it. He said, mine, mine, I don't have it. He said, my wife was a good woman and I thought she was good and I thought I wasn't doing too bad. So he did smoke and drink and sort of crowds around and, you know, he did everything people like people do and had a pretty good business. And one day she goes up and gets paid. And her life changed and she won't go to dances anymore and this and that. And now she went to Penny Cross and came back talking and comes in. And she said, she's full of the Holy Ghost and everything's wonderful. And he said, one day I got a tract. And he said, I read that tract. And I said, you know, he said, well, smoking and drinking anymore. I wasn't doing things like I used to do anymore. And yes, I went to church. And I heard Billy Graham preach it. He said, come to the altar. And he said, you get it. And I went up there and he said, I just said, did he get it? He said, went to Pentecost. And then he said, seen God speak in tongues. He said, he did. He said, did he get it? And he went through the whole camp. The brother answered, hold it, brother. He said, what did you say about the time you said you read that tract? Well, he said, I. I quit smoking and drinking. He said, quit what? He said, you go all the way down and begin loving the Lord. Well, he said, what does it have to make you do that?

Break the time again? Well, he said, there's something to think about. He said, yeah, I do. He said, you must have got a pen or why would you do that? See? The thing is this. If you keep on and positively must go where God said because you're on that word. If you don't try to get an experience and bring the word out of it, maybe that's what people are doing. But what did Brother Brown do? He went right back to the story. And they said, now God. We'll correct it all from what you say, even every experience, because that doesn't mean a thing unless it's one out of your word, right? Brother Spencer, listen. If you know, Brother Graham told a little story about the 4F, the farmers, you know, the boys club and all. They've got some scientists that made a grain of wheat. And that grain of wheat that they made, ersatz, was nicer and everything than the grain of wheat that was made by natural means. So they said, how are we going to tell the difference? We just put them in the ground. There'll be life in one and not in the other. So stick with the word. Stick with the word. Amen. Nothing but the word. Just stay with it. That'll do it. Now, that's the best I can do. Is it wrong for girls to have their hair tied in the middle and hangings in their faces just like hippies? Well, I'll tell you. What would make a girl want to have her hair hanging in her face?

You mean like down here? That wouldn't be bad. But you bring it around like that kind of peek -a -boo sexy thing that came out of Hollywood years ago? Oh, great. I've

just got to say this one thing. If you yourself believe you look like a hippie,

Oh, mother, you've

got trouble. You've got trouble. I can't say it's wrong to park your hair in the middle and let it hang down. But if you're identifying yourself with a hippie, I sure wouldn't do it. But just to say to park it in the middle and hang it down, I can't say that's wrong.

I've got no authority from the prophet of the world to say it's wrong. Look, if you've got a right spirit in you, if you want to serve the Lord Jesus Christ, and you don't look like the world doing it or something like a... so far out that's pitiful. It'll be coming without being, you know, pushing yourself up. It'll attract attention and all that. See, to be becoming doesn't mean to attract attention. Everybody attracts attention. But if you've got dignity, this is the thing that counts. If you have decorum, that's what counts. But to be solely and gone, that's like a person flogging with education.

That's not it. See, be simple and let your dignity and your character make a break.

Now there you are. I've got a mission to do your hair up. Look, I don't believe you cared that about your hairdo. As long as it wasn't some great big fancy thing that makes everybody... Yes,

you're right. I'm kidding with you. What's wrong with a girl's hair now? I ain't wrong with it. I'll

say one thing, bud. Some look good doing it. Some don't look so good. I would try to do my hair to where I would look sweet and nice. Let's face it. Let's be honest. You're not going to win a beauty contest anyway because you wouldn't have the nerve to anyone. So

just try to look nice. If you're married for your husband, and if you're not married, look nice for Jesus, and don't try to attract a man by your looks or you're in trouble, sister. That's right. Brother Graham said, when the poor boy runs off, when the poor girl runs off, and some kind of a Greek god has just come to some kind of a sex assembly, he said, sex queen, forget it. Don't do it. You'll miss your life on it. I'll tell you what. If you're young and you're considering marriage, which no doubt you are, just be as sincere as you can be. And you boys, don't go looking for every girl to run around with. Because I tell you, one of those girls you're going to marry could be the wrong one. You'd be terrible, and don't try to have a lot of girlfriends. I've seen them experience. I'd attach to as many girls as anybody else did. I wouldn't do it, because I knew that one day, one of those girls could trick me for something else, and I'd marry the wrong one, I'll tell you. There's nobody got the forbearance and love and tolerance my wife got, and anybody else would have had me. I'd have been the man. I'm sure glad for her. There's a French proverb that says, to have a happy marriage, one of them must have a great capacity to love. And the other must have a great capacity to be loved. I've got the capacity to be loved. And so we've got a beautiful marriage. Now see, I'm telling you some truth. And you sound awfully funny. Although this is because of those comical things. That's a good point to it. See, you be careful who you go with. Because you'll be trapped just like that. Now remember, when you're trapped, if you are, the Bible says, you've got to marry her and you cannot divorce her. And she turns out to be a skunk and a witch. and runs with a dozen men down the road, the Bible says you're stuck. You keep your hands off her, you're married. Don't you go with your name, girl. You, girl, don't go with your name, boy. Because they might not respect you one little bit. And remember, even plus the deep. They'll say, honey, we're going to get married. A liar. He was married right there. But you're the one that bears the shame. Huh? Come on now, smarten up before it's too late. We've got so many people right now, young kids, that hope they have to come and try to get married. What in the name of common sense is Mary trying to do to the rapture? I know what it is. I can tell you right now, but it won't be quite that vulgar. You know, you can tell, so you just read my vulgar mind.

That's right atomic power and so on. That's what Brother Brown said. He'll never be here. All right. Now, please explain Mark 9, 43 to 44. In the light of no eternal hell, our death is the death of Gehenna. The worm dies not and the fire is not quit. Where do you find your worms in the lake of fire? That's the city dump. Gehenna's the city dump. How do you find... Any place that finds an end to eternal life we want to hand off. It's symbolic language. It's a big jump. Listen, it's better to absolutely cripple yourself. A woman may have a talent to be an actress. She may have everything in her life to make her the most wonderful actress in this world. Take that talent and tell it. Unless you can use it for God to destroy it. Enter into eternal life with one of your hands. Listen. You're going upon the city jump where your whole life goes down the drain. And you're standing in the white stone judgment. That's what I'm talking about. I'm talking here about... eternal hell, fire, all that kind of thing, a bunch of nonsense to preach or drink. Why, if you've already got eternal life, who needs Jesus? All you need is cleansing. God will get cleansed.

Heaven doesn't have it. So then there's no such thing as two kinds of eternal life, right? There's only one, and that's Christ. And you've got to be born again, right from here. So then how can a sinner go to hell and suffer again? The city of Gehenna is. That word in the Greek is soul, I think. What happens if a man calls to God and won't preach? That's

stone judging. What a terrible thing to do. Acts 2, 17, 18. The women are not to have anything to say about the word. All right, that's right. That's what it is. Acts 2. I really explained that the other night, but you didn't catch it. Maybe the person wasn't here, or you couldn't associate it. All right. It shall come to pass, the

last day shall come, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy. Now, of course, that's going to happen in the closing evening. And upon my men and women's servants, and upon my men's servants, I'll pour my spirit, and they shall prophesy. Now, of course, that word doesn't fit in any degree with the English word. Many times Brother Brandon said, you do call it preaching. But if you take this back to the book of Revelation, the 19th chapter, you'll be able to see it. He said, I am that fellow servant of the presence that has the testimony of Jesus. Worship God for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. In other words, every truly born again member in the body of Christ will have the true word of God in him. But it doesn't make you a preacher. You don't have to witness to anybody. And the word is brought up, have no fear, to be like Priscilla, who was with Aquila when they took Paul at the side, and they both talked to him and witnessed whatever word she used with her husband was the correct, indeed, word of God. But she wasn't preaching, she was just witnessing. Now, you know, you cannot witness without the word of God. It's impossible. If you just can't do it, what would you witness? Some mist, some tree, some coat, some folding table? You've got no witness outside the room. See, so women can testify. And they will be testifying. They will be witnessing. You can tell the milkman. You can tell the breadman. You can tell the grocer. You can tell the gardener. You can tell anybody you want. Long as you do it in love.

Don't try to keep talking. You say, but the word of God, my brother, says so and so. And the vindicated father would be approved. That doesn't make you a preacher. The spirit of God has got to be on you if you're a child of God. You've got to have a testimony to choose the Christ as your child of God. What else have you got to choose? And where do you get it? Revealed word. We're not trying to bog women down so they can't see anything. Just be careful how you say it. What do you say? Is it wrong to wear a hairpiece? Brother Bannon said no. Is it wrong to use the right spirit? Should a person claim to believe the message and have a television at home? Well, Brother Bannon said this and he answered the question very, very carefully. If a television is wrong, then so is the radio, so is the newspaper, so is everything else. Now, here's the point. It's the use of that television set. But how do people use it?

Well, well, as I said about cutting those girls' hair and wearing those slacks. Why bother having something that's going to bring in bodies? Take it out the door. Take it out the door and get rid of it. You can do that when you're home only when your son is there. He has his little portable TV set. He can have as he wants. When he goes, his set goes with him. If his set doesn't go, it goes locked up in the back alley where we have a little cat crawl in our attic. It goes locked up there and there it sits. There's certainly nothing wrong with seeing certain things on television. What's wrong with seeing the coronation of the queen? That's going to be something to think about. I'm not against that. He's his brother Graham. That's why he says, then your kid's radio will go too. It was not. What it is, the fact is that it's a huge deal. But why bother having the thing when you can get the same thing some place else or who needs it anyway? You know, so why comfort yourself? Just get rid of the thing and leave it all your life in there. I'm a freak. See, now, I wouldn't give him a person if he had a television set and used it the right way, but I personally don't want one because I don't need to see things I'd enjoy seeing anyway. It's just like every now and then I see a good movie advertised and I say, Cromwell. Cromwell was a pyramid dictator of England. They tell me that it's absolutely a thing. I'll never see it, forget it.

Once in a while, the real good travelogue comes, and I saw African safari. If you could see it, there's nothing wrong with it. It's the most fabulous picture you ever saw. Alaska safari? You might be like me. Who needs it, forget it? If you ain't, I'm not going to condemn you. I was condemned. You went into a place, a restaurant, where they serve beer on one side and food on the other. I don't worry about that. If I'm hungry, I don't mind going ahead and eating your dinner, but I'm going to the stove. I'm not going to take their beer. They can keep their beer and pour it on the ground. Or their hot dogs and whatever they want to do. Just don't bring it around them because they keep their fingers up. Not being versus your faith. I never did that. I didn't do anything. But, uh, see if he says this. See if you don't know. See if you don't know.

Now, don't take the shotgun and ask the leader. Because that's dangerous. He didn't know that when he said it. And, of course, God is protecting him and doing it. So that's dangerous. Don't do it. I

won't do that, son. Give it back to him. He's got half the bread we need.

Help him out, son, because they've got new drugs. Is a spiritual youth tied for such worth? No, we discovered Jesus Christ. Is a woman to be found in the church only concerning the discussion of the doctrine? She has nothing to say about what is right in the church. She only adheres to what is right. How much did a woman witness a neighbor? As much as her neighbor's contented, don't get it mocked at. What

is she doing? Be in the word. What else can you tell? What about the fellow who told a joke last night? No, you can't tell a man. Hey, did you hear the church tell that? Well, no, you can't tell a man. Hey, did you got a great problem? You're not mad? Well, you could, but don't tell. Go to the word. What else can you do?

If you haven't got a thing to do, that person reads the word, word, word, word. What a beautiful testimony. My, my, I sure like that. Like Brother Cameron said, the woman said, you both don't teach us much. I hope that's my only trouble, sister. I hope that's my only trouble. If God and Jesus are the same person, why is Christ your advocate? Well, remember this, that it's the man that's the advocate. I preach actively. The man knows what he's doing when he prays. He

prays all the time.

So you've got carried away. I hope I didn't do that, but that's my problem sometimes. All right, you have an advocate in one place. Why? Because you do have, you need one. Over here in three and nine, you don't need one. Why? Because you can't do anything in this particular facet, which would require one.

Let me try to put it this way. Let me figure something out here in my mind real quick. I

don't need my own private airplane because I can't fly, and I just don't need an airplane, period, a private airplane. Now, I may need somebody else's airplane. But really, I don't need my pilot airplane. So I'm going to have one. That's the way this verse says. I can't sin. I don't need an advocate. What would I need an advocate for if I can't sin? So there's something here that I can't do. See God's word. If I'm here, I have God's word.

The Apostle Paul was God's in it. And one day, he went down and talked this up. So Paul said, my sweet dear brother, over... And Barnabas said, yes, and a couple of thrown in for good measure. They did not. Paul said, look here, we're not going to take John because he let me down. And Barnabas said, now, my dear sweet brother, who has let you down except God? We ought to take him. Some people let him down, but when this fellow let me down and went home to mother, that's it. And Barnabas said, now, cut, cut, Paul, you think we're going to let you down? Be kind. He said, look, Barnabas, I'll take no more of that fat. You're younger than me? I'm just pretending to be. And the Bible said that that got wet. It's so hot that they said, okay, goodbye, goodbye. They both need an advocate real bad at that moment. That

was right. They're not going to go to hell for it. It's not done to get both things. What about a priest who committed adultery? Oh, you

took that out of the book, preacher. Looks like God dropped your knees, you see. Maybe

you have what you think.

Because by your words you justify and by your words you condemn. So therefore use the word of God to justify. If a priest who committed adultery, they thought for this. Are you going to kick it off saying no more ministry? Who are you?

I just want to put this on the table this morning. Because I've dealt already with two cases of adultery in the church, and I have been surprised how people who call themselves Christians react. As

a result, we've just started a great big club. In fact, three great big clubs if not four. And when

some preacher up there does the gall to say the mission, maybe one of you brethren was caught in the same thing. We

can deal with that preacher. We

can answer him.

But he better come clean. I said he better come clean. And

he shouldn't even have raised his muff before the audience because he didn't raise his muff before the audience. He said it's not a man's way. They both said he hadn't raised his muff. But the band didn't say bring the thing before the church and have a great big muff -raising session. He said if you've done this miserable thing, you go to the couples involved. Then it cleaned up. But it's always somebody in the group that gets a hold of something. Oh, my. Although they did tell you to see and don't.

I'm talking about it. That's what this means. in a couple of cases.

One case turned out real good. Got the people quiet down. One

case, a preacher's salary. I said, listen, when a guy works for a business man for a year, he's got maybe three weeks coming with salary. Give him time for these three weeks and help him out. It'll help your soul. It'll help his too. And if anything ever happens in the future where somebody needs somebody, they'll know where to go. They'll come to you. They did it. But it's just a vision. I'm not the kindest person in the world. I wish I was. I wish I was. Which

is part of all and everything.

When it comes to us as elect of God, this is one place where you are the righteousness of God himself, through Jesus Christ the Word. And you don't need anything because you already got everything. All right, now, is there scripture evidence for the statement Brother Brandon made concerning the faith walking? Yes, it is. I said that you've seen it for 40 days.

up to his overall authority and power. So therefore, there is scripture evidence. Yes, there is a theory to die. But remember, David, remember, though they saw the dead body, Christ himself was not recognized through his physical form because the book of Luke, I think it is, no more, said that he was changed, his actual form was changed, that they could not through his physical form. I'm not saying we're going to not recognize the brethren in Christ to rise except through what they do. But it could be that way. I don't know. Brother

Ben said, if you see somebody coming up the wall, Don't be afraid. He said, just open this thing. Hi, Grandpa. I'm glad you're here. Take a little quick. No, you might not say, glory to God. I'm glad now I'm on my way to you.

Well, there could be the lake of fire right now. I suppose there is. I mean, you don't know. But there is a place kind of like Brother Brannon said. He said, where they're falling, falling, falling. A place of kind of limbo, you might say. Kind of darkness. I don't know too much. Explain the Godhead. I did the best I could in a few minutes. Explain what's in the seal and what is in the seal. I don't understand that. Exactly. The seal of the Holy Spirit is what you really want to be sealed in and have the Holy Ghost in you. I really don't know if you would or not, but that is some emotion. But the name that his brother granted doesn't come by emotion, any particular type of physical evidence. I've explained it many times, so you just have to just breathe, brother, with citrus all in your heart, and remember, faith absolutely will bring you right into this kingdom. Now, what have I got here? Can I answer these? Am

I mixed up here or not? I think there were some more questions. The time's about gone anyway. I answered that one. I answered this one. Oh, here's some here. I don't know. Did I put them there? Let me see. I'm sure down there. Down

here. We didn't let them fall on the floor. These are all gone. These are all gone. And these are gone here. Oh, here. We've got a few over here. All right. Is it wrong for girls to wear shorts underneath their dress? Can I explain that? No, ma 'am. It's all right. You don't even need to wear a dress. If you're just a bunch of girls in your family room together, your shorts are fine. Of course, if there's a man leading the class, then that's another question. Brother Brown's own advice for his own family was that if they're all girls together doing physical ed, that is all right. Our culottes, well, we talked about that. I said, I can't say that, says the Lord. Is it wrong? I got that one too. Is it right or wrong to wear a little hairpiece if your own hair is long? If it helps to put it up decently, what's the difference? I mean, look at here. That's the thing that I put glue on my hair. When I wash my hair, I... Where's pompadour, Southie? And I drew it down. Now, believe me, if I didn't grease this thing down, I'd have to shave it all off. Now, would you like me to come and hold my hair all like this and look at a man? I wouldn't like your wife to look at me like this either. I want my wife to look at me like this either. Brother Brown said it. If it's not for arrogance and pride to look smiley -smiley, is that your heart's right? It's a little airpiece to help you.

My own attitude is this. I know today's Brother Brown. It's worth all the men I know reading this thing to me and love the Lord. Your wife's not trying to win a beauty contest. You don't mind her trying to look nice and all. That's fine. But I hope we're at the age now where looks don't mean it. There's reality somewhere without this thing. I never was free, and I don't think I ever tried to look free. It's just I do like nice things, and they don't do it. I'm about ready to go back and get a pair of overalls. You know, you're not so old anyway. By the time you get a 40 -piece suit, you're sure you're going to go through it anyway. I mean, you're stuck anyway, so why fool with it? The white rider beat a dead horse.

No, he's carrying it. Who are the ones who have to go through the great tribulation? Everybody but the man. Gone. That's the foolish virgins, the Jews, and all the rest. Are they Christians who love the Lord and denominate? Yes, there are those who love the Lord, and they haven't got the whole word, and some of them weren't ordained to it. They'll come up in the white throne judgment, and they'll come in. That's all right. But there are people who write today, and they denominate them, and then when they come against the end time market of Jesus, I believe they'll escape. I believe they'll die for it. But remember, brother, sister, don't fool with it. And don't have sympathy with it. If the prophet said, come out of earth, a vindicated prophet. And at the end time, let it get out of there. And don't fool with it. And have any sweet little laugh. I know you don't, but I'm trying to get this across to you. Don't have this, but I think that's all right to be a sweet little pass. Or a sweet little pass again, because if it's lovely folks, listen, you say, come out of it. Come out of it, or you're gone. Remember, the last praise is what? Fearless.

Last praise is for what? Last fear is your death out here. And life in the bride, then screams into Christ. I

tell you, I've got such a sweet love in my heart, and I'm so gentle. I wouldn't dare say anything to him. If I don't say a thing to condemn somebody, I don't say one thing to save anybody either. Huh? Is that right? If I don't say a word that will condemn somebody, then I save somebody. You know, I said the other day that Brother Brown did not come to bring confusion with the word. He did in the bride. The

sister calls all the confusion in the world. Not in the bride. No, sir. No. oh, don't anybody try to tell me that. We're a mixed multitude. But that bride is one with that word and there's no confusion. She's resting, resting, resting in the face of Christ himself that the very word is on. No, he would say, well, brother, I'm still confused because you don't understand certain things. Certainly I'm not confused. There's a question here in the 12th chapter of Revelation. Somebody asked me, then you must have put that paper aside as I mean to. And they want me to talk about it. I'm not going to do it because I can't. You know as much as I do about what the prophet said. I can't, Jenny. I have a burden in my loved ones. Great burden. They believe with all their hearts that they are born again, but cannot see this message. Is there any hope for them seeing the Holy Spirit? I'm going to knock the after answer. Sure there's hope. They're going to find out too late. Just say, hey, maul a drink.

They're already so far from their rebirth. They're a part of that anti -Christ system acting as though they had virtues and were one of Christ. You say, Brother Dale, how will I know which one? You don't, Brother David. I know you've got a burden, but you're still not like revenge. When the old friend jumped by, he said, God, what is it? He said, I'm going to tell you, darling. There's two manner of people there. I love one, and I hate the other.

You know how I felt so bad? He did his dead level best to prophesy his son, Esau, into the king.

Paul said, I could be a crook, and could I feel such a way that God would take just me? I'm one person. Oh, God, do something great, Lord. God said, no.

He said, Brother Hilton, I could give up on your sin. No, you believe God. Brother Graham said, well, apply the token. your faith. Now, how can you apply the Holy Ghost to 10? The token today, as what it was always was, is the Holy Ghost revealed by the Word. And the 10 losers and the Holy Spirit in the justification, right? And 10 methodisms, magnification. A few years ago, restored gifts. Now what? The full measure of the Word. Hey, I lost some of these questions. Some of them are just a question now. Oh, man, I messed up. I'm sorry. Well, I always was a messy preacher. I'm sorry.

Discuss this one. Discuss that one.

Now, what does this man do if he's got a desperate wife, and she calls him everything and calls a message everything, but he brings this message, what will he do? He doesn't know, sir, not as long as he's content to live with that man, he's got to live with her. She's just like a loving husband, and to go to your loving wife and do everything you can by example and prayer to win her to Christ, because if she turns down that work, then don't bother her. Brother Brown said, two times, that's sufficient. That means your wife, although in a wording season now and then, you might just bring some little thing in like an illustration.

I've heard some of the most lame excuses in my life of what a man can do to divorce his wife. I've even been whipped to it by preachers who say they believe this message when I say that she's content to live with him even if he is a wicked, insulting person who is stuck with her. Well, I don't quite see it that way that Brother Graham didn't say so -and -so and so -and -so. The word of God said so -and -so.

And I never saw William Graham to return against the commandment of God yet.

Now, if he wants to leave you, let her go. And then can I remarry? I didn't say that. The Bible says, take me. The bride will have thus said the Lord. Would this mean through the prophet again? No, that's in the bride. He's not the old bride. Or if it was, if not, would God have to speak face to face with the bride? No, Brother Brown said, they have the word and they know what to do with the word and that is thus said the Lord. See, have the word, become with it in order to approach unto him. In order to be united with him, then they've got thus said the Lord. In other words, it's like natural, normal breathing as far as I'm concerned. Now they might say, God set the law. I don't know. I'm not saying he will anymore. To me, I'm content to bring this. We have God set the law. Because we have the word and know what to do with it. And the word is God set the law. And the word comes to pass, so that is.

Whether it comes by vision, it comes by a voice, or anything else, it'll be there. You won't need to worry. Brown

said,

We got the next one. He's very happy. That'll do. No, that's fine, Lord. That's fine. He said, but you said three. Now, where's the third? Now, God suggested. Is that your brother's answer? Is that the Lord? No, but that was the Lord. I can't explain it yet. As though I've got the answers that I don't know. I'm just trying to go around this and show you that don't get excited and don't get a lot of ideas. If you're a bride and I'm a bride and I'm using the word is in the sense of since we are, right? Then it'll be there and we'll be there and it'll be there. And if we're there, then it's nothing to do together. So that's it there. Follow me? The reason I teach this way is because, look, there's too much in my estimation going around where people are getting excited on doing.

Please get to where God's folks are saying you would teach through more than one at one time. Well, I don't quite know what you mean there, but if you mean that God would have more than one person say the same thing like a prophet, then this would be redundancy on the part of God. But let's face it. There could be a meaning, a call. on the side where gifts are operating, where there would be two people saying the same thing unknown to each other. In other words, one might come forth in a prophecy, or in a, well, like, not such a Lord, but some more such a thing is going to happen, and then lo and behold, that might have been actually under the prophecy. And later on, someone speaks in tongues, and the tongues not interpreted, but understood. Literally understood like it wasn't in Brother Brown's meeting out in California. Maybe in French, or German, or Dutch, or something, see? Now, herein comes, though understood by one person, the very same message could come forth. And then, lo and behold, a third person says, The interpretation is the same as the prophecy. And that third person says, And I'm going to tell you that's right, because I understood it. Now, if you mean that, that's how it should be. But I don't think for one minute that there's any such thing as two people. It's

possible for someone to know a certain doctrine before Brother Grant's book. Sure. And

there's no question. Right?

Now, let's just pretend that there's a seven -year tribulation. There's not a three -and -a -half. But let's pretend there was, right? Let's just pretend. Now, this is on tape so everybody understands. It's only three -and -a -half. Let's pretend it's seven. Now, and why? Because everybody but us believes it's seven. So let's pretend it's seven. Well, there's no correction there, is there? Nothing to correct. I didn't say it. Not only one person said it. Hundreds said it. But the hundreds we know said it wrong. That's got to be corrected. There's not seven. They're saying that. Right? So that's what I mean. Now, there's something else about it. What about it? Brother Brown said, Christ is our righteousness. Now, that's been said by a million people. All through the ages. That doesn't mean correction. A hundred should say that. A thousand should say it. Perfectly good. When it comes to correction, when it comes to that word, thus saith the Lord. One. Anybody else? Now, I don't know all what the person had, but I'm trying to say this. I'm trying to move that into your question.

Now,

there's just one thing I missed here. And I don't know. I'm going to take a look at it and see if I know the answer. Then I'll talk about it. If I don't, I can't help you. All right.

In Romans, the seventh chapter, verses 15 and 23, you'll find in here that Brother Brannan explained this back again to the very thing we talked about on the law of faith. Now, if you are a real believer in Jesus Christ, one of your acts, you will never, ever have any war with the word of God. You believe it, you receive it, and you absolutely stand in it. But in the sense... of the fat are in here, like the weed seed planted in a concalibur. Supposing the weed seed was planted in a concalibur, then the weed seed will still come forth and bear the plant it's supposed to use, though it's in the concalibur. Now, with us, we

act on faith. Having us a spirit, we can say yes or no. And here is where the battle starts up.

Just like your tongue's interpretation on the floor, you put it where the prophet said you put it, or you're

with the last service of

Christ. Absolutely. Then my Lord and my God, they'll take that step of faith this morning. And we know to come sing on the altar. They want it. They want it. If the devil is cast out of an old song, it's

just one. Don't

be afraid. My brother says, Master,

let's kill. We

like crying sometimes in that. I'm talking about something you get involved in and you hate it. You

don't want anymore. If

you just come by us on this side and pass us that way, we'll pray for you to keep coming.
