Thanksgiving Day 1987 - Fellowship and Testimonies

Oscar. Oh, there's a little boy too.

Okay, you want to speak to him?

I wish you were here. We have a nice dinner coming up.

Dr.

Cash? Hi, Gene. This is my wife, Gene. It's fine, you.

Today.

Who am I looking at?

Who's the young lady? Olsen? Yes.

It's kind of a dire, indeed.

That's the Brother

Vale's car.

God bless you.

Thank you.

Hey,

how do you

You getting a picture of her? You've

come down in a time when such corruption is in the world. Yet, Lord, you have such love for your little bride that you sent your prophet and called her out by him. Lord, all we can do is sing amazing grace and praise unto you for you alone are worthy of all the glory. Lord, help us to exalt your name in these meetings. Lord, to lift you up high in praise. Father, we ask that your anointing be upon the speaker and upon our ears, Lord, that we may hear that word of life. Father, grant it, we pray, as we commit this service to thee in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. You

may be seated.

Lovely representation from Brother Branham used to sing from the east and the west and from the north and the south. And it's wonderful to see you all, as many as I can see. I saw quite a few of you today coming in. Wonderful to meet some of you, haven't seen for many years. So to know so many folk that come to the service. I think Brother Jack said about 80 came from Beaumont. That's about all we produced. So we might have to go to Beaumont next time. Something must be done about that, isn't that right? And just from all over. We trust the Lord will be blessing you tonight and the messages to come. Now, I'll be having the service tonight and then on Sunday morning and Brother Jack Bell tomorrow night and Brother Sproul at the Saturday afternoon service. Now, the reason there's no Sunday night service, or Saturday night rather, is because this building, this part of the building, is used in part and so we never fit in. So we have a service in the afternoon and that will give you freedom to have a nice time of fellowship, which I know you. all enjoy so very, very much. And then, let me see, I must also mention that Brother Stokely had made arrangements to get some Schofield Bibles, which are pretty well out of print now. I think this is the last printing. They're made in Britain. They're the old type Schofield. Now, there are many people who ordered them, and the order is in today, and we're not aware of whether we can get any more at this particular time or in the future. All you folks that wanted the Bibles, you'll be able to get them from Brother Stokely. He is here tonight and will be with us the rest of the meeting. And then in a little while, Brother White is going to explain some things to you concerning the setup of the building here and the services and the breakfast and the food and some things like that. I think they sort of want to count on it in order to know how many will have breakfast or dinner with us. So that's something we want to look at, and we will tonight. so that you'll be able to have a little... The people here in U2 will have a better leisure time at it. He'll explain those things to you. And we want to say thank you to the Sheraton here. The room is very nice. We thought it was nicer than the Marriott, and the rooms are very nice, and the price is good. If the food's a little bit higher, I think that's not too bad because we make up with the rooms. And anybody coming in, I suppose you ought to have rooms by now if you don't, and you wanted to share with somebody, that's perfectly legitimate because the rooms, as you've been told, are $36 each. And whether there's four in there or 14, I don't think we could get 14 in there. That's a good number. I think we better stop at about, what, 60? So, Tom, how are you doing? Notice you're sitting there in game? All these people growing up, I see so many people, they're all growing up. I don't understand that because I haven't grown up. Yeah,

that's true. Now, I've got a little confession to make here tonight. This is the first meeting I've ever been in where I'm under medication. I'm not dopey or groggy, but I take medication twice a week. and the bugs start to die off. And when they start off, you get, I think, all the Herxheimer effect, which the bugs, you know, begin to sort of bother you. And so I'm not at my best on those two days. I never was at my best anyway. Let's face it, you maybe couldn't tell the difference, you know, the way I straggle along here. But usually, you see, I preach on Wednesday, and then I start taking my little supplemental thing that helps me. on Thursday and Fridays, and then I feel pretty good by Saturday to get to the Pope on Sunday. So if I'm not up to scratch tonight, you come and scratch me, eh? Just want to let you know that. So I think that's pretty well all. We'll just take our time as we go along, and anything comes to our attention, we'll be glad to bring it to your attention. So as I say, so happy to see all of you. Saw Terry and Judy come in, and so many different ministers, and we're always happy to see them because... We know that they're doing their best where they're at to fulfill the call that God gave them. And I know you all are trying to do that, too. I never sell a congregation short. Your coming here is because you're devoted to a certain word the Prophet taught, and you believe that we understand that as the Prophet taught it, or he wouldn't be here. And we appreciate that so much. And it means so much to us to know that... There are so many people of the same mind and the same heart, which means coordinating of faith and, you know, love and affection, those things toward God. And whether you know it or not, because the world is in such a kind of a rundown condition, I know in your hearts you know that what Brother Brand spoke of, how that bride was going to be one with the Word. And how that the Lord would enliven and quicken that Word to us. and we would truly be the family of God. And that in itself is a stupendous statement. It's so stupendous that it rocks the human mind. In fact, there's no way the human mind can truly apprehend it. The best you can do is somehow know in your spirit. That's the best you can possibly do, to know these things of God. And I trust in this meeting here, which many people have been praying for, that that will become so real starting tonight, that ere we go to our homes, we'll have... further transformation within our very lives brother sister to be what god wants us to be well i can't preach any longer i'm tired so here we are lloyd the lord bless you my good song leader many of you probably aware we like to sing scripture songs our little group and there's one of them i think probably the majority of you know it's taken out of psalms 118 and it's the 24th verse it's called this is the day It just repeats itself. This is the day. This is the day that the Lord hath made, that the Lord hath made. We will rejoice in it. I think you'll pick it up, but it's taken out of Psalms 118 and the 24th verse. This is the day. One

also that's taken out of Psalm 95. It's Psalm 95, and it's the first through the third verse, and

how it's sing. I'll read you the words because it sort of double backs on the verse just a little bit. O come, let us sing unto the Lord, let us make a joyful noise. O come, let us sing unto the Lord, to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalm. For the Lord is a great God and a great King. O come, let us sing unto the Lord. So it's there, and it uses that, O come, let us sing unto the Lord three different times. I think you'll pick it up. Tom, you better turn it down just a little bit. Okay, so it's Psalm 95, and you'll pick it up. O come, let us sing unto the Lord. It will

be a privilege we have in this end time to be able to sing praise unto Him. Brother Joe White, would you come up and make your announcements? David Hill.

For school and discipline, God's will and spiritual needs. If I'm not making that clear, you might want to raise your hand there and clarify that. Then we have one for Steve Hoffman. Prayer concerning school and spiritual needs as well. And John, is that Hoffman? Hoffman, excuse me, Hoffman. Prayer for employment and spiritual needs and also healing. Then we have, does that say Mary Sue? Where's Lloyd? Is it work, ministry, and healing? I think that's what that says. So these, anyway, the Lord knows these needs. You know, Jesus taught in prayer, he said, your heavenly father knows what you have need of before he asked, but he turned right around and said, let's ask. And we need that point of context. I wonder if we could all stand before the Lord as we take these needs before his throne. Blessed Father, we're grateful that we have access to your many blessings this evening. By the blood of Jesus Christ, we're made nigh this evening, Lord. And our word is standing, Lord, ready to bring healing, to bring any answer to prayer, Lord, any need that would be brought forth this body of believers tonight. Lord, we believe we are true believers. And we come against... Any powers of sin and Satan that would hinder the flow of your blessings to your people. For it's your will that your people be blessed and receive guidance, receive wisdom from on high. And Lord, we ask you meet these needs that have been brought forth before this little assembly this morning. And we believe that it's already been accomplished in Christ Jesus' name this evening. And we stand as one body agreeing as touching these needs. And you promised, Lord, that they would be done. And we see, Lord, the victory with the eye of faith. We see it already done because your word is true and the devil's a liar. And we thank you, Lord, for these meetings tonight. We thank you for the word that we're going to receive and that we're going to hear. And we know that that word is sent for a purpose and it won't return to your void. In Jesus' name we ask your blessing. Amen. And amen. You may be seated.

You know, it's nice to be... where there's so many brothers and sisters of like precious faith. Amen? Most of you come from churches like ours, I guess, and to see this many people that love the message of the hour and that believe his appearing and understand the revelation of the hour, that to me is, we're in hog heaven tonight, spiritually speaking. But I'd like to read. We're going to sing. Actually, we had... Calls have been called upon to sing something different and that is not what we're gonna do We never get to we get it gets preempted out there and we're gonna sing that the Eleazar song in it and Brother Lloyd came to me and he said, you know, so that's a that's a present tense We're not going to a wedding. He's here Judge has not coming. He's here. All these things are already in motion And I want to read the little passage. And I'm not going to preach tonight. I'm going to sing. But I want to read this. I felt impressed to read Matthew 25. These parables are concerning the days of the Son of Man. That's now.

Not coming. There are many people that don't understand what we understand tonight. But he's here. And with him comes the joy. We're not waiting for the joy over yonder. It's here. It's ours. And he said, Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten. virgins, which took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them. But the wise took oil in their vessels with the lamps. And while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. Notice, at midnight, the cry was made, a shout, or the Eleazar call. When did the Eleazar call go forth? At midnight. It's 11 .59 .59. Dear friends. It's just about.

Fine. If you please. As far as the bride is concerned. She's in. It says. While the bridegroom tarried. They all slumbered and slept. And at midnight. There was a cry made. Behold the bridegroom. Go ye out. To meet him. Then arose the virgins. And trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said. Unto the wise. Give us your oil. Of your oil. Excuse me. For our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so, lest there not be enough for us and you. But go ye rather to them that sell and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came. Amen. You know, Brother Branham said, he said, These high church people, Catholics and Episcopalians and all the different denominations, he said, they're just trying to speak in tongues. That's the fulfillment of that. He said, they're just like those birds. They're going out trying to get the oil, but they don't get it. That's right. Who gets it? The little bride. It's not something we're going to get. We've got it, dear brothers and sisters. This is the wedding. We're going to the supper. That's after the fact. Amen? This is what it is. All right. He said, the virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And there's not enough. But he said, while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage. And the door was shut. Who shut the door? Well, who shut the door in Noah's day? As it was in the days of Noah. What is it? The door was shut. God shuts the door. God shuts the door. Let me finish here. He said, He answered and said, And afterward they came unto him, those other virgins, the foolish, and said, Lord, Lord, open to us. And he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, As Brother Vail explained to us, I used to know he was my bride, but I don't know he's my bride anymore. He has my wife. Watch ye therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of Man cometh. This wedding takes place in the days of the Son of Man. Brother Brown said it's fulfilled. And here's where we are this evening. So the song of Eliezer is for a wedding celebration for the bride. Amen.

We got help tonight? Are you in? Okay.

Wonderful,

wonderful Jesus is to me. Counselor, Prince of Peace, mighty God is he. Saving me, keeping me from all sin and shame. Wonderful is my Redeemer. Praise his name.

Wonderful, wonderful. If

I miss up. You guys just keep right on going. And don't worry about me. Amen. Wonderful. Wonderful.

Sister Betty. Sister Linda. Sister Beth. They come up. Are they seated over there? Okay. They've got a special for us at this time. From

Isaiah. The twelfth chapter. And it's the third and fourth verse. And how it goes is. Therefore with joy. Shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. And in that day. shall ye say praise the lord then it repeats it therefore with joy shall you draw water out of the wells of salvation and in that day shall you say praise the lord it repeats that twice and it's isaiah the 12th chapter in the third and fourth verse and with joy we are drawing at this hour that's for sure not

after the words that you hear come forth it's joy let's sing that again

This

time I can find them.

I did see them out here somewhere. There they are. They've got a special force in Sister Judy.

Praise the Lord. I just really enjoyed being here, especially after last night. I just think

it's been 20 years since the Lord drew me and it was in 1968.

And the white horse doctrine went around, and me turning to my brother Abe and saying, Brother, I've left everything. I want nothing but the truth. And who happened to come along? Brother Vail. And I still remember the little house meeting we had in Vancouver, and he was sitting on a chair there, and he just said, there was a woman, keep asking questions, says, now don't think questions, or else you'll miss what I'm saying. And I believe that's the truth. He's been a real help through my spiritual walk. And I just thank the Lord for his ministry and the five -fold ministry in this day. I'd just like to sing a song. My wife and I wrote. They just sang a song about here comes the bride. And I guess the marriage has taken place and it's going on. And we'd just like to sing about that too.

They've gone into the marriage.

Of

course, I'd like to teach you, taken out of Psalms 86. I hope this is not trying to teach you too many. But when you're hearing the word, you can't get too much of it. There's Psalm 86, and it's the 10th, 11th, 12th verse. For thou art great, and doest wondrous things. Thou art God alone. Teach me thy way, O Lord. I will walk in thy truth. Unite my heart to fear thy name. I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart. And I will glorify thy name forevermore. As Psalms 86, it's the 10th, 11th, 12th verse.

Brother Bill. Well,

it's nice to be here tonight and greet you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I was just thinking, though, that, you know, it's good to level with people, you know, if you've got a kind of a beef or something. And I just want to say to you folk. You might not know this, but you've given preachers like me and Jack Bell and Terry Sproul and every other preacher here a terrible complex. Because when we look around and see such lovely people we're surrounded by, we want to crawl back in the woodwork. But you know, it's nice to be surrounded by people that are lovely and godly, kind and generous, and who back us up. Because Andrew Carnegie said that the reason he was successful was he surrounded himself with men better than he himself. And their input made him what he was. You might not know that, but you people make this meaning. It's your faith when you come here causes everything to happen. And without your faith, nothing happens. Brother Branham said his gift operated because you operated. The last time I saw that gift operate was in Lima, Ohio. It had not operated five years previously, and I never saw it operate afterward. But the faith of the people. caused that gift to operate there were 50 marvelous miracles in 50 minutes so my beef isn't really bad it's just that i envy you and we feel like crawling back in the woodwork but there's no woodwork to crawl back into so we're here and we thank you for your love and your kindness appreciate you so very very much now you heard that alarm go off it was a fire alarm but it was a false alarm There was a false alarm many years ago when Dowie was persuaded he was Elijah. The bells of heaven weren't ringing, it was just an earthly false alarm. But this last alarm was not a false alarm. Now, that little old dingle -dongle up there, that thing going, you know, telling you that something's going on, says there's a fire going on. Now, Brother Branham, the greatest battle ever fought, he talked about the flu, F -L -U. And the flue is a chimney. And you know how to get the chimney going real good, drawing? By a little fire in there. And this is risky, but you know it's still the truth. If you want to clean your chimney out, and it's full of corrosion, build that fire a bit too high. She'll clean the chimney, and she'll clean you too. Hallelujah. I like to hear a good fire alarm from God, and we're hearing it to clean all the flues out. until there the channel is perfectly clear for the word now to come back and we become word express christians everything is for a purpose even me standing here so all right little announcement or something or other now tomorrow tonight first of all of course brother jack's going to bring us a message and jack bell is the boy that i told you about he's not such a boy anymore but he's he's a he's a boy yet you know alongside of me He's the fellow that when I preach it, he's the guy that believes it.

I have to laugh, but this is the truth, and it kind of hurts. But I can't crawl back in the woodwork because there's no time. But he's the kid that believes it. I got to admire that, I do. But we're coming, you know. I was born ahead of Jack in the little troublous time, and he got born in this good time where he could get a hold of Brother Brian's message. without all that corrosion that I had to get rid of. So he's going to speak tonight. Tomorrow, Brother Terry Sproul is at 1 .30. The meeting will start. And Brother Sproul will tell you about a trip to Israel that's planned because so many people are asking him. It's just best he explain that trip to Israel. Some of you might even care to go. And that would be wonderful. Now, Sunday morning at 10 o 'clock, we're back to me out of the woodwork again. And I'm preaching on some principles in the Word. And trust the Lord will bless us together. It's meant to be a blessing. I hope it is. Now, the third thing is, well, we'll make the fourth thing the third thing. A lot of folk are already on a tape list, but not a third of you people here, hardly a quarter of you. And I'm not asking you to be on our tape list. But to those on the tape list, you'll automatically get these tapes. But you who would like to have this series, because it's an open series, and your pastors are here and so on, they don't mind that, I'm sure. You just leave your name and address with Brother White back there that you want the tapes. The tapes are not expensive. They're good tapes. They're $2 apiece to have them shipped out, because that's pretty well what they cost, or a little bit more. That doesn't matter. So that takes care of the tapes for the services. Brother Stokely is like most of us. We've used the Scofield Bible. Brother Branham used it. And what it is, it's not a better Bible. In fact, it might be an inferior Bible to some other Bibles. But you remember where things are on certain pages. And you just don't get, you know, used to any other Bible. They've been terribly, terribly hard to get until the old edition is pretty well out of press. And so Brother Stokely found a man who could get these from England, and some of you ordered them already, and so they're here tonight, and you can pick them up. They're $60 a piece, of course. They're a little better than this Bible, which I myself use. It's a little better. This is a real good one, and you pay for the whole bit, but it's better than even the one I use. Now, there may be some extra ones left over, I don't know. And also, it may be that some of you want to get that particular Bible. This is not a sales pitch, because who cares whether you do it or not? I mean, they cost 60 bucks, you get them for 60 bucks. It's just that simple. But the thing is, they're hard to get, and if you're used to a school field like I am, you will not change to a Thompson chain or anything else, because you're lazy. Well, you're not lazy, you're stupid. Like, you know, like I am. You're forgetful. Who wants to learn where things are in the, you know? What do you want to learn it over for? You know, you don't teach an old dog new tricks unless, you know, poor dog. So these Bibles are available. That's what it's all about. I'm not going to change. I've got two extra on hand myself. I had them for years at home. I bought five, I think four or five one time because I knew if I lived. Hey, you know what happened? My Bible was getting so old, I was praying, oh, please don't let me start a new Bible. This is I can't find anything anymore because the pages stick together and you know began falling from the parties old boy that Joe Ratzke you know He's a nice hung nice fella. He's Hungarian. He's like all the other song years. They're crazy And he says I gotta be like his dad. It'd be 85 years old Imagine he says he's my friend. I supposed to be 85 years old to please him How many Bibles could I wear out? I told you his friends like him who he's enemies He's a lovely brother. I appreciate it. God spared him for this hour. He sure did. But what if I lived by 85? Well, there's my sales pitch. You want to buy more? They're available to you. So, the Lord bless you richly. I think we're going to have some more song service and some praying. And before we have some preaching. All right, come on. I love you anyway. See, it's true.

I'll just sing one more little chorus. But it's one you all know. Turn your eyes upon Jesus. I think Brother Jack has got a... Special he'll even do for us. We

want to get him up here too. So let's sing a little chorus of turn your eyes upon Jesus. Look into his wonderful face. Turn your

eyes upon Jesus. Turn your eyes upon Jesus. Turn your eyes upon Jesus.

Amen. Sing it one more time. Let's sing it together.

Shall

we just pray? Our kind and gracious Heavenly Father, we're so thankful to be gathered here this evening with those of like precious faith, those we love and know they're the bride of Jesus Christ. Lord, we believe that that's true. We just love them and we love you, Father. We ask you tonight now to take any doubts, any unbelief, frustrations, fear. Father, may every one of our spiritual channels be open. that the word of God would supersede everything else, Lord, and that every sick person that is needy here tonight could be healed, and revelation would just pour forth, Father, and that we would just be lifted up in the most holy faith this evening. Forgive our sins and our transgressions, Lord, if we've thought anything or said anything to displease you. Forgive us, Lord, and forgive the people, and may we just together tonight receive the exceeding abundant, for we ask it in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. You may be seated. The Lord bless you real good. You know, I hope I can live up to that compliment Brother Vail said, because I don't think there would be a greater compliment that a person could have paid to him and that he believed God. You know, Abraham had that, and when his commentary was wrote, Brother Branham spoke about him, and he said his mistakes and all the things down through life, what we'd call failures,

spoke of. God didn't even write it when Paul wrote the epistle to the Hebrews. He just said, Abraham, believe God. And it was counted to him for righteousness. And so I believe this is the hour when we have one thing to do, and that's believe a vindicated message. And that message is going to bring us all into immortality and off this earth one of these mornings. And I just believe that with all of my heart. So we're not up here to say anything else, but just like Abraham being strong in faith, he just gave glory to God, knowing that what God had said he was going to perform. So this song that I want to try to sing tonight is concerning a story of a woman, and she didn't have no condemnation of the Lord. And that same Jesus is here tonight in the form of the Holy Spirit. And this is called Neither Do I Condemn Thee, Go and Sin No More. I don't have electric guitar, so I don't know if you can hear this. I hope you can. Can you hear it over there? Can you hear it over there? Not that you need to hear me so much, but so I can hear it. All right. By

the proud worshiper, scorned for her sin, was the poor wonder rudely brought in. Scribes came and Pharisees eager to see what a meek Nazarene's verdict would be. Neither do I condemn thee, precious words divine, falling from the lips of mercy like the sweetest chime. Wonderful words of Jesus, sing them o 'er and o 'er. Neither do I condemn thee, go and sin no more. They told of her wandering. Marking each flaw. Spoke of her punishment. Quoting the law. Said he unheedingly. Head bending low. Riding up on the ground. Sadly and slow. Still cried the Pharisees. Pray master say. What shall we do with her? What does thou say? Speck he rebukingly. Let the first stone come. From the sinless hand and from that alone. Neither do I condemn thee, precious words divine. Falling from lips of mercy like the sweetest chime. Wonderful words of Jesus, sing them o 'er and o 'er. Neither do I condemn thee, go and sin no more. His

blushing red with shame turned each about. And from his presence sadly walked out. Then saw he standing there head bending low. She whom the world despised saw her tears flow. Spake he most tenderly pray woman pray. As thou accusers none nay master nay. Neither do I condemn thee so sick and sore. Go far I pardon thee. Go and sin no more. Neither do I condemn thee. Precious words divine. Falling from the lips of mercy. Like the sweetest chime. Wonderful words of Jesus. Sing them o 'er and o 'er. Neither do I condemn thee. Go and sin no more.

That the prophet said, the Lord forgiver of all her adulteries and fornications. creeds and dogmas and traditions of men, and said that she is forgiven, she's justified, she's a virtuous bride of Jesus Christ. And, brother, sister, I'm going to tell you, the devil says, or any critics or anybody else says, we know what God said. Now, tonight, we want to turn in our Bibles to the Numbers, the 13th chapter, and I'll just be about 45 minutes with you, 35 maybe. Maybe a little longer, but it won't be too long and we'd like to take a little subject tonight because We believe that we're getting right down to the end time To where there's the dead's fixing to come out of the ground and there must be excitement over yonder tonight, too they without us can't be made perfect and and Here they are urging us on to believe like never before and I believe this bride is doing that And, you know, the scripture says it's appointed unto man once to die and after that the judgment. But I'm so grateful tonight that the judge has come down and he has declared the bride righteous. He's exonerated her. And like what Brother Vale said about that, you know, it's appointed unto man once to die and that the judgment. But here the bride is judged and we don't die. It's just a reversal. And that's exactly what Abraham done by believe in God. He reversed the conditions of the Garden of Eden. Isn't that right? Death and everything else. Believe God. Walks right over. And that's what we're doing in this hour. Believe in God. And so I appreciate every one of you. You know, somebody asked me if, he said, Brother Bill, do you really have 70 people up here? And that's true. Greatest bunch of people in the world outside of your church. And if you pastors up here, you'd say the same thing. Would Beaumont Tabernacle stand up? Now, somebody's going to say, now, he's just proud, and he just wants to show them off. That's the truth. Go ahead. Don't sit there. Stand up. Yeah. I may have said that wrong. Thank you. There may be 80 of them, but what it is up here in Ohio, see, they love your pastors so much. So they just love to be here around you and all these pastors. Now, there's so many here. I saw Brother Erickson in. Different people, some from Norway, and if I start mentioning names, I'd leave somebody out and feel bad, but it just thrills my heart to be here with the people of God. So the Lord richly bless you. We love you with all of our heart. Now, Numbers 13, let's read about the 30th verse in the beginning, and we're going to be speaking tonight on the subject of a guaranteed permission. And this will make more sense to you in a moment. And we're going to be speaking a lot about the power of decision and the result of the decision you make, which I believe most of us have made that decision because I, for one, am sold out, brother, sister. If this that we're into now, preaching now, is wrong, I'm finished. I'll tell you right now, I'm committed. As Peter said, when Jesus said, do you want to go away too? He said, Lord, where would we go? Thou has the words of eternal life. And I'm committed in this hour to this message of the presence of the Lord being here. The minister of Jesus Christ returned to this earth. I believe Brother Branham introduced us to the word. The bride know her mate, the revealed word of God. And I believe we know him. And I believe he knows us. So we want to speak on guaranteed possession tonight. Numbers 13 and 30, And Caleb stilled the people before Moses and said, Let us go up at once and possess it, for we are well able to overcome it. And the man that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we. And they brought up an evil report of the land. Now watch their confession. You've been through this much. Which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The Lord, though which... Through the land through which we have gone to search it is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof and all the people that we saw in it are men a great stature and There we saw the Giants the son of Anak which came of the Giants and we were in our own sight Just now I want you to let this soak we were in our own sight the way they saw themselves How do you see yourself tonight? Do we see ourselves as what the Prophet said we were believers? Do we know our position is Satan challenged you up here even to? The authority he did Jesus, the authority of who he was. He said, if thou be the son of God, command these stones to be made bread. Well, brother, sister, I'm going to tell you, how many times have you been challenged in this message on the authority of who are you? You see, who are you? And don't worry, he'll tell you you're not bride. And if you start listening to him and you open that channel in your armor and you begin to listen to those doubts and fears and things that he'll throw in there, I'm going to tell you something. You'll sound just about like these spies. And they said, oh, boy, we're in our own sight. We're just grasshoppers. We're nothing. I'm not going to say that, brother, sister. I believe we're bright. I believe I'm bright. See, all right, and so we were in their sight. Otherwise, the way they saw themselves is the way that the enemy saw them also. Now, you talk about there's power in a confession then, certainly. Now, over in the book of Hebrews, very familiar scripture to all of you. In the book of Hebrews. And let's look at this tonight.

I can tell I'm getting to be grandpa. I put these contacts in, and I can see it far off, but I don't see too good close. And I get them out, and I can see close, and I can't see it far off. It gets a person in a terrible situation. Can't wear your glasses, and I hate them too. So one thing left is preach this word until I totally get a new body, get healed, and everything else. All right, Hebrews 6. Let's read here about 12 verses. And now therefore leaving the principle of the doctrine of Christ. Let us go on to perfection. All right. We come in here to a complete finishing off. A perfection that we have arrived at. This is the last stage we're here. Then said not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works. And a faith toward God of the doctrine of baptisms. Laying on a hands and of resurrection of the dead. And eternal judgment. Verse 3 notes real close. And this we will do if God permit. Now, we've been through that many times. God did not permit it in the days of Paul because all the bride wouldn't hear. But in this end time, remember, brother, sister, there is a permission that comes at this end time to where the bride goes on to perfection. She walks to the tree of life. She gets changed standing on her feet without dying, and God has permitted it. That wouldn't happen in Paul's day because he said, I want to know him and the power of his resurrection. But it wasn't time to know him that way. But oh, praise God. In this hour, not only is this end time message come to bring the dead out of the ground, but to change the living and give us rapturing faith. And he said it's laying in the opening of the seals and the thunders that's revealed. And so we believe that. For he said here, for it's impossible for those who are once enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the world to come. Having fallen away is actually what it says. To renew them again unto repentance. They won't change their mind because it's a once -for -all message. This is the last time. See, and notice, seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh and put him to an open shame. All right, they're going to turn this word down, and they're going to crucify to themselves the Son of God. Notice, and for the earth which strengtheth in the rain, it cometh oft upon it and bringeth forth herbs. I feel better. It's much better.
