The Real You

We pray, Gracious Heavenly Father, we thank you for your presence with us, not only in our hearts and our souls, Lord, but by virtue of the fact that you are here as the head of the church, Lord, to bring all things into subjection for the great kingdom to come. We appreciate that so much, but above all, Lord, we want our own hearts and minds to be brought in subjection to your word, because we know, Lord, since the fall there has been that constant rebellion of the mind. to take your word literally as it was given, Father. And we pray you forgive us. Lord, we know that this generation is the last generation who will bear the brunt of all the sin that's required at your hand to be atoned for, Lord, or to be judged. We know it's a great hour in which you live of total darkness, except for the light appearing, which we believe, Lord, at the end time is total light. And so, Father, we're just commending ourselves to you that you help us to bring our minds into the order of the light and away from darkness where we've used words wrong, Lord, or lightly and not thought your thoughts, Lord, and understood with your understanding upon truth, Lord. Let it be that we will be people of faith this morning, real sons of God, real daughters of God to accept the truth, Lord. and then to just rest in your grace and mercy. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. You may be seated. Now, we're literally on to number 27, which in itself is a wrong terminology because we haven't been preaching 27 messages literally from the actual text of who is this Melchizedek. But there's so many things in there that Brother Branham set forth that we have no alternative. but to actually take up some of the thoughts within this message that he does not necessarily belabor as we feel it must be done. But, of course, he left the charge to the ministers to do that because he said, I do not have the time. So, therefore, we realize, as the word is corrective, then it's up to us to try to correct the understanding of the people and bring it in harmony with what the prophet had in his mind from the mind of Almighty God. So we were looking at some of the words, and especially we were looking at the fact that Brother Branham, on more than one occasion, posed the question or the question, Who am I? Or, Who are you? would be the same thing. Where did I or you come from? What is our purpose of being here? Where are we going? And over a period of time, Brother Branham actually did bring out the answer to those questions. And we are looking at them in the light of some of the words that Brother Branham used, such as we looked at foreknowledge. And we have to remember Brother Branham said, you petty gospels don't like the word predestination. You shun it. So I'll just use the word foreknowledge. So every time Brother Branham used the word foreknowledge, you knew that he was speaking of, especially to people outside of his own particular in -depth ministry, that is, the people that were in -depth with him. He used the word foreknowledge. He was talking to predestination. So if he could do that as a prophet, you're realizing then that foreknowledge actually has to end up in predestination. And you know as well as I do that there is no such thing as a change of species. It's impossible. You can hybridize, but as you hybridize, the life goes out because they actually cannot crossbreed. Now, there's such a thing as mutations. That's allowed within the framework of God. But there's no crossing of seed, a real crossing of species. So what I'm saying here, then, is this. God would have to have a predestination according to what lay in what he actually originated. So you're looking at foreknowledge, and then you're looking at election, because election is in the human race. The seed got mingled. We'll talk about that. And you're looking at predestination so that whatever was in the mind of God as per thought, which we saw was seed, which was soul, which was attribute, which was a concrete positive part of God, not something God thought about. But the term was used in the understanding of expression. Now, you and I can think of a lot of things, but we'll never express them. With God, we are talking about, according to the Word, that which had to become expressed. And Brother Branagh said, we as children of God became expressed in our due season just the same as Jesus, the Son of God, did. And remember, Adam was also the Son of God, but not the Son of God. In the sense of the Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten. So we had to look at the word thought. And we understand what thought means now from Brother Branham. It is not something which is strictly ethereal. Or which is contingent to something else. It is the thing to which all else is contingent. You are looking at the hub. So don't look at the spokes. The spokes come out of the hub. You are looking at hub. See? Now. Brother Branham also used the word you. So we say exactly what is you. The you is the real you, the soul. See? Now, the real you is the you that wants to manifest itself in the depths of its own beginnings from whence it came. Deep calling to deep. The real you of a horse will want to be a 100 % horse. Doesn't mean he's going to be. You may have problems.

The flowers out there want to express the real you. So it is that a child of God or whatever seed that is there, whatever life is there by predetermination will want to come into an expression. So the soul is the real you and the real you wants... and expression according to what is really there, not what obscures now and what can play a part, but what is really there. Now, the soul is what? It is a part of God. Therefore, you are a part of God. The real you is a gene of God. So, therefore, you are a gene of God. You are a seed of God. You are an attribute of God. You are a son of God. You are a son of the Spirit. Not necessarily in terms of regenerated by the Spirit, but literally begotten from the beginning by the Spirit. Because that which is born of Spirit is Spirit. Now, we saw that in John. Let me just go back to the book of John for a second. Because this is something that people just don't want to let come into their consciousness. Because their theology has been wrong. They've been trained wrong. Now it says here, verse 11 of John 1, the gospel. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them he gave the authority, become the sons of God. Even them that believe on his name, which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. They were born of God, and what is God? He is spirit. So therefore, your genesis, your beginnings, in

other words, generics and genetics concerning a Christian are in God. That whatever God himself is, that son would have to come sometime into the perfect image of God in his own degree and placing where God wants him placed. So, that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit. And to be born of God is not the same as being begotten of God. To be born means to issue forth from, because a child is both begotten and born. Before it can be born, he's got to be shaped. Now, a man after God's own heart, David, was shaped in iniquity and conceived in sin. Now, that's hard to understand. Let me tell you something. Believe it. Don't get your noggins all messed up and try to reason the thing. There is no point to reason. Reason is the downfall of the human race. Reasoning is a sin against God. It's a destroyer of faith. And it's plumbed from the devil. And the devil wants nothing more than people to reason. You don't reason with the Scripture because the Scripture is of God. That which is born of the Spirit is Spirit. What comes forth from God can only be Spirit, because that's all that's in God.

So if we were in God in the first place, we have to have a spiritual origin. You say, well, I came from my father. I don't care two bits how you came, for God's sake, shut up.

The point is, we came from God, we're going to get back to God. Because you've never seen a dandelion yet, of which the seed, a proper seed, Didn't produce a dandelion.

There's a metamorphosis. And we are going through a metamorphosis. One of which is death. To the part that God doesn't want.

So therefore a child of God will always be a child of God. A horse will be a child of a horse. And a little old burrow. He's going to be a child of a burrow. But you get him mixed up and you got a jackass.

Most of God's people act like jackasses. And I'm right with you. I'm not criticizing you. I'm talking to myself the same as you as anybody. We are a bunch of nincompoops and jackasses. Because today we have a demonstrated, revealed word of Almighty God. And the prophet said, you are a part of God. And I said, what part? And the prophet said, you, the soul.

Now that's awful hard to accept.

Because we've accepted the devil's lies, the devil's trash. and the devil's temple of worship, which are the organized churches. So we are sons of God. We are sons of His Spirit. We are sons of faith. We're sons of Abraham. We are joint heirs with Jesus Christ, and we are the brethren because the Bible says so. God is our Father, and Jesus Christ is our brother. There is no difference, categorically, except in a measure and a purpose. For God wanted out of him what he didn't want out of us.

So we're looking at the truth. Now, let us watch here and be careful and go back to the soul, which is a part of God, which is called seed. So, we read in Genesis and begin to look at seed because seed is soul. Seed is a part. We want to look at these things and bring them together because they're important. Otherwise, we go off on a tangent. Genesis 3 .50, Now put enmity between thee and the woman, between thy seed and her seed. So evidently the serpent had a seed. And the woman can't have seed, but she's going to get one. So if she's going to get one, as Brother Brown has said so beautifully, when he talked about Matthew 5 and 48, Be ye perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. If God required it, then it's up to God to provide it.

God says he demands a new birth of me. Then let God provide it.

If God says he demands a prophetic utterance of me, let God provide it. Let God provide everything that God demands.

Because I can't do it.

You know, even back in the old days when the first thing women wanted was absolutely a child.

And so, you know, Rachel couldn't have any children. So she went to James and said, I want to have children. I said, who do you think I am? God? He got mad at her. You, with what you've got, don't know you'll be able to produce anything. I

don't care what you've got. So therefore, if God demands it, then God will provide it. That was proven with Abraham.

He demanded the offering of the Son. He said, bring him. And the minute he did, God stepped in and provided. So therefore, if anybody will listen to the will of God, God will provide.

My God shall provide all your needs by rich and glory in Christ Jesus. God so loved us. He spared not his only begotten son, but freely gave him up for us all. How shall he not with him also freely give us all things? That's the trouble. We think we've got a big bore of steel. You don't have to. Faith says God will provide because God said so. God demanded. So therefore he's going to do it. How do you think I, when I went preaching, I told you I quit that one day. How do you think I went back in the field? To stand right there because I knew God would have to provide because I couldn't do it.

God did it. Now he says here, the woman, she hasn't got a seed. God's going to give her one. God's going to remind. It shall bruise thy head and thou shalt bruise his heel. Okay, let's go to Genesis 4 and 25. And Adam knew his wife again and bare a son and called his name Seth. For God said, she hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel. Now you've got a seed. And that's exactly what this person is. In other words, a seed is a source of multiplication, a source of production. All right. With that, we go to Genesis, the third chapter. I'm going to send a seventh chapter. I think what I want.

He said in verse three, also of the fowls, also there by sevens and male and female to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. Now you got it. You got it in the animals. So, therefore, we understand the seed is synonymous with life and the ability to bring forth life by reason of the fact what lies in there.

See? You're going back to life. Now, we

are thrown into animal life just like the rest of everything else is. Now we go to the book of Romans, the ninth chapter. And

we start reading right off the bat. We take Romans 9.

Before we do, let me see. There's a scripture back here I think I want. If it is, I'll read it.

Genesis 9, chapter 9, verse, he said to Noah, Behold, I'll establish my covenant with you and with your seed after you. Now, in Romans we read concerning seed. I say the truth in Christ, I lie not. That's the first verse. My conscience also be witness in the Holy Ghost. I've got great heaviness and continuous sorrow in my heart, for I wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen, according to flesh. who are Israelites, to whom pertaineth the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service of God, the promises, whose of the fathers, and of whom is concerning the flesh, Christ came, who is over all. God bless forever. Amen. In other words, he had to come in a special designated nation, a special designated tribe, be identified. Not as though the word of God had taken none effect, for they are not Israel, which are of Israel. Neither because are they the seed of Abraham are they all the children. But in Isaac shall thy seed be called. Now you're noticing something is being narrowed down here. There's an identification of a certain seed amongst all general seed that is designated as the seed of Abraham, even though it even comes in the whole tribes of Abraham.

So there's a seed within the whole granary of seed.

Okay. That is, they which are the children of flesh. These are not the children of God. But the children of the promise are counted for the seed. Now, that's exactly what John the Apostle said in John 1, who were born out of the will of the flesh and the will of man. In other words, those children are born simply from sexual intercourse because they have a passion. And there are those that plan to have children, which is also based upon sexual passion. See, they're bringing forth. But within it all, no matter how it comes, God has a life in there. That no microscope and no man can follow. Only God himself knows exactly how many are there. Now let's keep reading. For this is the word of promise. At this time will I come and Sarah shall have a son. At what time? The time in her life when she positively could have an egg. The right egg. That it is fertilized by the right sperm. And her condition such that that child could come forth. It could not at any other time. Now you can say what you want. And you can look at a great big miracle God did. But you better go back and understand the great big miracle was already there in the form of a foreknowledge and predestination overtook it. Before the foundation of the world God knew what Isaac would how he'd come and exactly when and where. And as Brother Branham said so categorically, he said a virgin birth is nothing compared to an ordinary birth of a child of God.

You begin to understand that 15 ,000 sperm can grow across the cross -section of one hair. And the male ejaculate could go hundreds of miles into the universe, late end -to -end, and you can't even see him except under a microscope. And realize that God Almighty knows exactly each one is His.

Now you've got to let your mind go. Otherwise you become a foolish Pentecostal, a foolish old God knows what. No proper theology.

Just everything is by chance.

Well, what put in your heart to seek you deep?

No. What put in the heart of Abel to search God and came to turn away? See, you've got to see, you've got to understand Scripture. And not only this, but when Rebekah also had conceived by one, even her father Isaac. Now notice him. For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth. Now how are you going to get works out of anything that isn't there?

So foreknowledge has got to be followed by predestination. Because predestination is nothing but foreknowledge brought out in the open. It says right here, It was said to her, the elder shall serve the younger. Now we talked about birthright this morning and dedication.

Esau should have had it.

See? But the birthright doesn't even go by genealogy. It can switch. As long as it stays within the tribe. As long as it's a seed there. Jacob, have I loved Esau, have I hated? What shall I say then? Unrighteousness with God? God forbid. For he said to Moses, I'll have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and compassion on whom I won't compassionate. So then it's not of him that willeth or him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy. Well, if God's going to show mercy, then how is he going to show it without showing it?

How is he going to do without somebody being done by?

Come on, let's understand. Don't be a bunch of dumb bunnies. If you dodge this and I dodge this, we will not get what we're looking for. Let me tell you flat and tell you emphatically. Because you've got to believe what God said, and I've got to believe it. Now, this is a pretty severe test Brother Brandon gives us. Who's got the baptism and who's seed?

That's why you better stay awake in these meetings, kid, because you're not going to get it by yourself. I'll tell you flat. God never raised Drupal. He raised me up in this place here. I'm not trying to fuss with anybody, be anybody, but I'm just telling you flat. You listen, because

this is the truth. I'm preaching what Brother Brown is preaching. I'm nailing it down time after time after time from the Word of God. See? Now, for the Scripture said unto Phil, even for this same purpose have I raised thee up. Now, the purpose of God stands in election.

Election can only come from foreknowledge and

it can only go to predestination. Now that's concerning the true elect and it's also concerning the non -elect. For these of a Pharaoh were not in the thoughts of God to be determined as sons. They were in the thinking of God as was necessary for the forming and the training. the disciplining of, and the maturing of the child of God. For without Pharaoh, there would not have been a Moses. And

without Esau, there would not have been a Jacob. Oh, there'd have been an ambi -pambi guy crudding around like we all do. But it was Esau that made him fall on his knees and grapple with God. That's what's wrong today with the bride. We haven't been pressed enough. If people call this a squeeze, give me 2 ,000 more years in good health with a couple million dollars.

Or maybe 20 million. I might need it for 2 ,000 years. This is no squeeze.

You say, well, my poor brother, my poor sister, my enemies, I, that. What are you talking about?

Still immature babies concerning the word of Almighty God, a part of God. A soul, a seed.

Seeds of God thrive in adversity.

You think they don't? I've had hard -earned adversity. I've had more than most of you. Right on the field. And I look back and I see it was really nothing. To simply... Stand there in adversity, my brother, my sister, is the key to everything in this world, to healing, to everything. People just don't stick to things. That's why God takes them off the earth many times. I've raised you up, that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. In other words, you can never think of Pharaoh, but you think of God, and you can never think of God, but you think of Pharaoh. Therefore, he hath the mercy, and will have mercy on whom he will harden it. Thou wilt then say unto me, Why did he yet find fault? For who resisted his will? Nay, O man, but who are you to reply against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it for this very purpose, Why did you form me for this purpose?

That's for both sides of the question now. Those in the true knowledge of God, the thoughts of God, and those who are raised up in order to mature the thoughts of God. And we're talking of thoughts this morning as you and I, children, an

expression of God.

You say, well, there's a lot of me that doesn't express God. There's a lot of Moses, and there's a lot of David that didn't either. There was only one true expression, and that was Jesus. Are you trying to be Jesus? Are you trying to get to where you don't need a Savior? That's nice of you. Let me know when you get there. Well, sure, see, you'll never come back to service like this again, because you're just going to stink the place up with your rottenness.

Don't you understand where God put us and how he put us? We must understand this. This is the will of God concerning us. We must learn to quit our bellyaching. As Brother Brandon preached that sermon under such grace, why cry? What are you crying in your tears for? And you're brewing over it. Speak to the rock. I

am so disgusted. There's no need for it. Had not the potter powered this over the clay of the same lump to make one vested honor, one dishonored. Now I'm going to tell you, back in the days before the seed intermingled, before the last man, there was Noah, a true human being. Before they corrupted themselves, the sons of God marrying the daughters of men. Every single vessel was a child of God by natural birth. But needed the sacrifice.

And the looking forward to the great son of God. Sure, because Seth was a literal Abel again. He was another seed from the seed of Cain. They weren't the same. And as long as the races never came together, there's no problem. But once they came together, it was purely a matter of God separating, because He always separated.

What if God wanted to show His wrath and make His power known and during much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted for destruction, that He might make known the riches of His glory and the best of mercy which He had aforeprepared? Notice the vessels of wrath fitted themselves, but these vessels of glory were fitted by God. If God demands something, then God must make a way for it. And when God makes a way for it, woe betide those who turn it down. Now the wrong seed will always turn it down. And the true seed may mince around and edge around. But if they're true seed, they'll be confronted.

Because the Bible said God trains every son. Every son.

If you're too proud to humble yourself and get down there and pick in the chicken yard. A waddle through a pig pen sometime, I got news for you. God will throw you like the face first in it, or you'll always be just a mess.

You've got to take things by the horns, just the way the Bible teaches. All right, listen here. The seed was mingled. In other words, the life which brought forth one thing and contradistincts another thing were so close they could mingle, but they could never reproduce themselves.

In other words, every single seed of the serpent and every single one, that has an admixture is going to be destroyed by God.

There's only one going to make, and that's a child of God, a true seed of Almighty God. And they will be the wise and the foolish virgin and nobody else. So we see a seed within a seed, but not two souls. In other words, what am I saying? We see a seed within a seed. We see a lump of clay. And in the lines that God has laid down as a river of life, those two lives are intermingled. And God determines which life is which life and brings it forth how he wants it. But within one lump, as we read here in Abraham, there are the two seeds. And Jesus said to the Pharisees, you are of your father the devil. And they said, we are not born of fornication. In other words, before Eve came to Adam sexually, she was already sexually bound to the serpent who was just a great big giant of a man.

And you read that right in the book of Genesis. There were giants in the land, men of renown, great big fancy, great big guys. And then it says when God's people began mingling with them, they brought forth giants too, proving the line of genetics. And I think at the end, you see these people are so big and tall, they're blaming it on to drinking milk. But you know years ago when America first opened up from the Europeans, our forefathers, don't you know the seats were very much smaller than those? And hips were very narrow? Now you've got everybody spreading out like balloons. What did you do? Sit on fertilizer? What

happened? People are huge. I'm going to tell you something. Adam was no great big six foot five or something. I'm not hitting anybody with this tong. Don't misunderstand me. Please don't misunderstand me. It doesn't say you're a serpent or you're a giant or anything else. I'm just telling you what the flesh is producing. Because it shouldn't do it. See, now you've got almost all entirely serpent seed. It's going to get more and more and more bigger and bigger and bigger. And smarter and smarter and smarter. Yet dumber and dumber and dumber. And weaker and weaker. See? Now, the seed of God in a pure seed. In other words, the life of God in a pure seed. Because we are called seed. We're named that by virtue of the fact of what we were in the beginning, never mind what we look like now. See? The seed of God in a pure seed in a physical form enabled. See? Contrasted to Cain. Now, here where two people look quite a bit alike. But I can tell you one thing, complexion -wise, Cain was not like Abel. He was not. Stature -wise, he was not like Abel. Spiritual -wise, he was not like Abel. He was purely and distinctly a seed of the serpent in a borrowed or a hybridized body. Absolutely. Now, let's go ahead and read that in the book of 1 John, the third chapter. You're starting at 1. Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God. Well, do you mean to tell me God's going to call us a son and say, hey, I'm going to do you a big favor there, kiddo. I'm going to call you a son.

Hey, you can say, Lee, I believe you're the son of Rockefeller. I'd say, well, I wish I were if it meant a million dollars or two, but forget it, honey. The blood doesn't show it. I was born into a very poor family. The blood may be rich, but the pocketbook very poor.

You don't flatter me by saying, hey, would you flatter Rockefeller? No, he wouldn't be flattered either. Well, I'm happy he's not and I'm happy I'm not. So you're called the son of God because you are a son of God. And because you are a son of God, therefore the world knoweth us not because it knew not him. And neither knows the son or the father. Beloved, now are we the sons of God. And it hath never yet come into existence to this point what we shall be. But we know that when He shall appear, absolutely that's at this end time, we shall be like Him for we shall see Him as He is. And that is according to 1 Corinthians 13 that tells you when He is here present, that which is perfect is come, we will know as we are known. We are known as the sons of God and we know that we're sons of God or we better know it.

Now you've got to blink your eyes and clear your heart strings and all the muck and junk out of your brain. And say, God, I believe your word. I'm a liar, but you're the truth. And I'm going to be truthful like you. I am a son of God. If you say, I'm a son of God, I'm a son of God. If you like it that way, I like it that way.

What kind of a union do you have outside of that? What kind of marriage union do you have outside of that? If she doesn't like what he likes, you've got a mess.

Now, and every man that hath this hope in him purifies himself, and he is his pure. That is the expectation of taking on the glorified body that will absolutely make you to know and everybody to know you're a son of God. And the world still won't because you'll be invisible to them.

In other words, it's just the end of your hope.

Now, it says here, and every man that has his hope purifies himself, he is pure. Now, how are you going to do that? Well, the Bible, Brother Branham again, if God demanded it, God makes a way for it. So he sends a baptism with the Holy Ghost and burns it all out. You say, Brother, I don't know if God all burned out. Well, God said he did.

The first place, if you're a part of God, how can you sin? We'll find that down here. The second place, if you sin in your flesh, then God's not going to burn it all out. He's burning it out right now by what? The life of the Word that's released within us right now is burning it all out because if we're going to be standing here, a sweep go over us after the dead rise, and suddenly, hey, we'll just walk right through a wall if we want to walk through a wall. I don't care for that myself. I'm not interested. I don't care what happens as long as I get there and it says what's going to happen. I don't look down the road for the happenings. I look now what is. And that's within the person. Okay.

You know that he was manifested to take away our sin and in him is no sin. So he's where he is we are. He was manifested to make us 100 % like him. Whosoever abides in him sin is not. Whosoever sin is has not seen him need to know him. Now Brother Brown told sin is unbelief. Little children, let no man deceive you. He that doeth righteous is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that commits sin is of the devil. Now it tells you right there. The devil sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Now I'm going to ask you a question. Did Adam sin from the beginning? The answer is no. Adam did not sin from the beginning. Adam was not righteous. He was innocent. Jesus is the only righteous one.

See? God put him up to free will. Whosoever is born of God does not commit sin. It tells you that.

For his seed remaineth in him and he cannot sin. The person that's born of God is a seed of God. It tells you right here. And the seed goes along with the nature of what produced it.

You don't believe me? Plant a maple seed and see what happens. Plant a poppy seed and see what happens.

Let's be real smart and chintzy. Let's get some test tubes. Let's take a male sperm, a female egg, put it in a test tube. We'll take the sperm of a horse and the egg of a mare and put it in a test tube and we'll nourish them and see what comes out.

Ain't good change. It's not going to change. It's according to seed. The tree has a form and the light is in the seed to bring forth the form. And remember, the seed was there before the form. Before God took a form, the seed was there.

That life. That life for that, what we call the seed. We put it all together here. Now in this turn of God, a manifestation of the devil. Whosoever doeth not righteousness is not a god, neither he that loveth not his brother. Now that, in other words, tells you that the one will go according to the Bible, the other won't. For this is the message you heard in the beginning, that we should love one another. Not as Cain, who was that wicked one that slew his brother, and wherefore slew him. Because his own works were evil, his brother's righteous. He tried to serve God apart from a living revelation and therefore he killed his brother. Let me tell you that. They may kill us before it's over. I thank God if they do. Let's quit fooling around and be worried about the future. How many days can you be without water? You're dead in 48 hours likely. How many days without food? That's a few days. What's the big deal? I suffered mentally until pain, physical pain could be a treat.

So let's not think about anything negative. So hey, God makes the commandment. He provides the way. God is obvious. That's thus that the Lord from a vindicated prophet, I don't care what you and I think or what we go by, that is a lie from the pit of hell. The prophet is true. Let God be true in every man alive. Now, marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. We know we pass in death the light because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brethren abides in death. Who shall hate his brethren? Here's a murder, and you know no murder has the eternal life abiding in him. Hereby proceed we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us. We ought to lay down our lives for him. He goes on here and he talks about the things which a Christian will bring forth in his life. Why? Because of the spirit of God within him. See? Now, I want to go to Ezekiel, the 18th chapter. Here,

we're going to look at the fourth verse, I suppose. It's the only one we'll look at. Behold, all souls are mine. As the soul of the Father, so also the soul of the Son is mine. The soul that sinneth, it shall die. Now God tells you that He is absolutely over by reason of creation. Every single soul, whether it be that which perishes or that which does not perish. And the difference of the souls is this, that one came from God and one did not. And the vessel in which those souls are, Absolutely doesn't mean very much in the sense of the actual physical itself because it's one lump. But God begins to move on that vessel, though it's one lump. And remember, the animal instincts will be predominant in the vessel because the dominant factors come from the beast. They don't come from God physically. They all come from God, but we're talking now about nature. faculties and those things so therefore if we look at the flesh and we say well that cannot be a god well that's true there comes a time when the flesh betrays itself because it turns on the word of god and says that is not so it walks plum awasement now the bible says that all souls are of god and it says the soul that sins it shall die but it says the soul which is of god which is the seed which is the sun which is the gene which is the attribute which is a part of god does not seen. It is that Christ came and died for and put away sin in the flesh that we can get these bodies back.

That's what we are looking at. Now, the soul will die, but there is eternal life in the soul of the believer. And Brother Branagh said, you will find one day, the day that you're born again, you'll look back and realize you never got eternal life at that time. You always had eternal life. Now, brother, sister, we haven't got that far in this message yet.

Therefore, we must constantly keep in mind these things that Brother Branham taught us and go over them and over them and over them. Now, remember what we read in 1 John 3. And as we do, we can go back to the last book before the book of Revelation. In that book of Revelation, we're looking at the book of Jude. We can start maybe at verse 5. I will therefore put you in remembrance that though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. Now he didn't destroy them that believed. He destroyed them that didn't believe. Now why didn't a certain bunch believe? It wasn't in them to believe.

It just wasn't with them. They couldn't make it.

And the angels which kept not their first estate but left their own habitation, he hath reserved an everlasting change unto darkness, unto the judgment of the great day. Even the Sodom and Gomorrah, and cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh. are set forth for an example suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. All right, now down in the gate of Sodom sat a man called Lot. And the whole city of Sodom, that's where you get the word sodomy and sodomite, having to do with homosexuality. Now, the whole city was turned to it.

Now evidently they were completely bisexual as well as within there was homosexual. Because there are no doubt people were being born. But like he'd come into the place where there'd be no more family, that was their way of birth control, their licentious pleasures, whatever they wanted. But you know, all that down there was not bisexual and homosexual.

He was purely heterosexual, as proven by the fact he even had his own daughters, which was allowed at that particular time because the race was not as degenerated as it is today. So there's your Sodom and Gomorrah. So now the world's gone completely homosexual. They talk of the third sex. Now, God has judged them. But there will be a people who live on who are truly heterosexual. They are not the filth that this is. But that's what the land was completely full of. Now, was it giving themselves over to fornication? Strange flesh are set forth in the example of suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Now, what you see there is the people who absolutely showed what they were. Now, there's where the churches are so smart, eh? They're going ahead and they're allowing these people to even be ordained and join the church. If a homosexual turns to God and is born again, but Paul says, such were some of you. That's true. Because the filthiness of sin and the depth of sin is not measured. Anybody can get into it. A sheep as well as a goat or as well as a dog and a hog. But I tell you, if they're eagle at all, when the cry comes, there'll be a turning to God. So what I want to look at is, again, you cannot look at the flesh.

You've got to look and remember this. This flesh does not have a predestination of being filthy. It has a predestination of being righteous. It may go through the muck and the mire of the filth. But as Brother Granite said, Mr. Lilly, pushing his way up to the bottom of the pool, to the muck, the slime, and the mire, comes up as a beautiful flower. And Jesus, as Solomon, in all his glory, was not, you know, robed. and arrayed like this one. But he said, your day is coming. Likewise, these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, speak evil of dignities. Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil, disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring arraying accusation, but said the Lord rebuked him. Listen, these are homosexuals and perverts doing this.

Who is telling the government, we're going to do what we want to do and you better provide cure for us because we're going to remain homosexual. That's the way we like it. Ha! they'll soon be dead. They don't last too long. And those that think they get away that find out now the disease can be hidden for 11 years not five and a half like they thought it's 11 years now.

And there's a certain mouse there's a certain louse and a mite that can bite you and it carries AIDS. Now what if your cat gets it and spits on you? You're like little kitties around the place and pretty soon maybe without God's protection. That's cat saliva. And you would still think you hadn't washed your hands. You wrote it on your mouth.

Don't fool with God, brother or sister. It doesn't pay. And it starts right here in believing what the prophet said because that's the test. The test is believing the word which alone has the power to release what is in it because brother Branham said if God demanded it, then God must make a way for it.

Now, if you turn down the way that God made a way for it, where are you going to be?

See why I say this, church? You've got to build upon nothing but word. Your feelings toward each other don't mean this much.

It's what about this word. You get the word right. Your feelings have it right. Your attitude's right. And you'll find you're sweet and kind and generous and moving down the line. You can turn the cheek. But don't walk up and say, now hit me the next time. You've got to be a jackass.

Say, look, bud, I know you.

Oh, yeah, not fools. I've never made a bunch of fools. The pew for years has thought, except that isn't a penny -costing legalist. The legalistic pew, the Pentecostal, Nazarene, Methodist, and that bunch, and they're a bunch of birds, black birds, maybe red wings on them. Catholics are also legalists, except the priests have forced them to respect them. But I'm going to tell you something. You get out here, how much respect is there for a pulpit? Let me tell you something that's more than my brother and my sister. You better respect what's here because I'm telling you God's truth. I never ask for anything from any of you. But I'm going to tell you this, if we don't understand what the prophet said and inculcate it into our very mental understanding and down into our being where it responds, and understand what a son and a gene and a thought and an attribute is, there's a part of God. And know what the scripture says. How are you going to be? How am I going to be? In an end time message, which gathers the saints of God, previous to the resurrection, which brings about a resurrection, which in turn brings about a rapture. Shout voice trumpet. You can't do it. You can be ever such a good father, ever such a good mother. But if you don't, you and I don't devote ourselves to this, I'm going to tell you about this history. I'm honest with you. I never get up here and tell an idea. Except on the grounds of a gift. I could never tell you the things I'm telling you.

Can't do it.

You've got to know these things here. We've got to come to them. Now listen to what these people do. They speak evil of those things which they know not.

You can't speak evil of the things which you really know.

Therefore, if you ever get to the place, and I get to the place where we know we are sons of God, watch evil speaking depart from amongst us.

Some of you listen, and listen real good, because I'm telling it real good. The dedication, it's all on the tape, but I read you better hit it over again.

It's all part of you. But they, but what they know naturally is brute beasts, and those things they corrupt themselves. Woe unto them. They've gone the way of Cain. Flowers are prettier and nicer than blood.

I'll take this part of the Bible and leave the rest. Remember

Brother Brown has said one word. It's

got to start in doctrine, brother, sister. Because if you don't know doctrine, you don't know the rest. If you can't read the blueprint or follow instructions by virtue of an understanding in your mind of how to read the instructions of that prefabricated home, you'll end up. There may be a lot of stuff in the basement that should belong on the ceiling.

How is anybody going to know? Now, Jesus said the words are simple. The words are simple. You can memorize them by now. How many of you can give me seven, at least, synonyms? If I say, who are you? Can you just say, well, that's rhetoric. That's me, first of all. That's soul. That's seed. That's germ. Well, that's another we throw in there. See, that's attribute. That's son. Right on down the line. Son of faith. Son of spirit. Son of Abraham.

Heir. Name ten of them.

Where does it strike? Woe to them, they have gone the way of Cain, and run greedily after the heir of Balaam for a reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah. Spots before your feasts of love, when they feasted you, feeding themselves without fear, clouds without water, carried about of winds and trees, whose fruit withered, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots. In other words, it withers to the place where there's no chance of fruit anymore. Once this message hit, And that people do not receive the cleansing power of the Holy Ghost within this message.

There's no chance. Let me read you something. Listen, I'm saying a lot of things here that really count. And I know I'm saying them kind of in a way that's not a great deal of continuity. But let's just get something back here in the book of Corinthians. I think it's in 2 Corinthians. I'm almost positive. Now here's the Apostle Paul. And he says in 1 Corinthians 21 -22, Now he which stableth us with you is Christ, and hath anointed us with God, who hath also sealed us, and given us the earnest of the Spirit in his heart. Our heart. Paul says, I am both sealed and baptized with the Holy Ghost.

Paul the apostle was sealed before he was born again.

He had an encounter with God face to face, and was stricken on the earth like a dead man. The heat was so strong, it seared his eyeballs and his eyelids. Little scales of burnt flesh hung there. God said to Ananias, that is a chosen, sealed vessel of mine. Seated he gets baptized right and gets the Holy Ghost. William Branham, prophet of God, the same thing, the great sealer here. Sealing in a church. Sealed in a man. What about a brine?

Away with our frivolous thoughts of tomorrow. And our grandiose plans of what might come.

Better to know what has come.

Oh, I call God for record upon your soul. I'm a vindicated man. Whatever

God wants, God gets. Whatever God demands, he's got a way for it. When he said Elijah's got to come, that was his demand. That was his provision. Whatever God's demands are upon you and me, brother, sister, there is a provision.

Now that's the thing to look up to and to understand. Going back now to

This little book here.

We never ever seem to get finished, but that's all right. We're not supposed to finish it anyway. But God finished it. Now he said, These people are raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame, wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness. Wherever there are stars, all right. Enoch also the seven men and prophesied these things. Behold, the Lord come with ten thousand of these saints to execute judgment. And so on and so on. Right on. There are 25 verses. We won't read them all. Now listen. That's you. We're talking about you. You. See. But to what now the question is this. Now that we have understood who the you are, what the thought is, understanding these things at least to a degree through a mechanical knowledge, which we must have. And that knowledge must never be applied to that which it wasn't intended to be implied. It must not be rested as to its place. In the scripture and as to its place in history. The word of God must always be within the framework of God. And we must understand ourselves as sons of God within the framework of the body. And that doesn't mean we're Pentecostal trying to get gifts among us. Or somebody said you're a foot. You're a hand. You're a this. You're a that. You're a that is a bunch of lies. And some of you know what I'm talking about from your past experience at Pentecost. It is nothing but a lie from the pit of hell. There's nothing to it. Don't ever fool with it. It's not that God couldn't do it, but God isn't doing it. The prophet showed us that. And his last caution was before he departed was just live good, godly lives.

And apply yourself to this word because his one fear was we wouldn't apply ourselves. Now that we know the you which is deceived. I want to ask this question. But to what degree is the personality advanced at the time a spiritual body was there that could have received us?

But it didn't. We bypassed it. What degree in our maturity, what degree in our, that's a good word, growth, where were we? In what condition at that time? We could have had that body, but didn't.

Job 38 says, Where were you when all the sons of God came together and shouted for joy?

Well, something must have been going on that they were far enough advanced in order to enjoy it or to shout about it. Whatever

spark had

flamed from this original? I don't know.

Historically, That's concerning time. We're looking at time. Time has been going on progressively with the stream of God or the stream of the life of God. Now try to follow me because this isn't too easy, but it's not too hard. Historically speaking, time has been going on. And in that time of history, the life stream or the God life stream, the Zoe of God stream, has been intermingling with all so -called human life. And God calls forth his own in his own time. And though the vessels be earthen and therefore subject to all temptation and sin, there is a treasure unto glory and honor in that vessel. And God deals with what's in that vessel, that earth, that treasure in earthen vessels to

his glory.

And if that treasure is in there, then that earthen vessel. will be unto honor and glory at some time, even to the extent of glorification. All sons of every kind are now one lump, one flesh, and one blood. That's why he said it's easier for God to just start right over with a virgin birth and say, hey, let's do it this way, than to have his encyclopedic computerized mind with trillions of, well, they're megabytes.

There's no limit.

You talk about a dossier being taken out of Washington, D .C. in 20 seconds, and they can do it. God already knew it trillions of years ago. It

is nothing after the fact with God, brother, sister. Everything is before the fact with God. That's true. You've got to understand that in light of our missions. So in the light of physical time, it is almost too much to believe that we could be informed personalities with prehistoric knowledge. and then be reduced to a position of no memory of that period and come into a life of struggle through sperm and egg and life growth to get back where we were.

Now that sounds utterly stupid to begin with.

And if it's true, it sounds a bit nutty. God said it would. I was back there with no remembrance of it. Now somehow I leave that.

Bypass. the theophonic form in which I could have appeared, visible, invisible, and done my term of duty, if such there was, in whatever theater God placed me. But now it's all laid aside so

that God now takes that away, like Moses puts the hand before the eye, sends us down here via sperm and ink, because there's got to be some instrument. Then get back where we lived. But if one recalls the words of Jesus, I came forth out of God and I go back to God. And glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory I had with thee before the world began. And remember the prophet said, we come the same way.

Right? Then we see that the doctrine of devils that teaches reincarnation. is based on a reality, but goes off the dead end into terrible delusion for

their idea of pre -existence, of

some stature, is what they're hoping to gain. We already have it in the deep calling to the deep. The deep calling to the deep is not saying, I used to live once. I'm going to keep on coming back till I learn my lesson. The deep calling to the deep is God, I came from you, I am a part of you, and I will get back to everything of you in a full state of your comprehension, not mine. We don't understand it. Now, to recall Hebrews 5, 5 to 11 and parallel it with Hebrews 12, 3 to 11 is what we must do.

Now this is the you. Why oh you and me.

Beginning at verse 5. So also Christ glorified not himself to me to high priest but he that said unto thou art my son today have I begotten thee. He said in another place thou art a priest from Matthew order Melchizedek. Now God said it so it had to happen.

He said that's what you are. Who in the days of flesh when he offered up prayers and supplication with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death and was hurt and then he feared though he were son yet he learned to be beaten by the things he suffered. and being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all that obey him, and called of God and high priest after Odom and Chesed. Now, here is one with a pre -existence.

That's it.

Okay? And what's in here? Crying out to God. All right? Hebrews 12, 3 to 11. Consider him that endures his condemnation against himself, that you be worried and faint in your mind. You have not resisted unto blood, striving, and sin, and have you forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you, unto children, My son, despise not thou that chasten the Lord, nor faint when you are rebuked him. Why? Because you looked at Jesus, the author of the whole thing. So now, what are you looking at? You are looking at categorically. You yourself identified with Jesus Christ, who had to get rid of, literally put aside, knowing, and He did it. to put aside and come down here. You and I could not have done that. So it was just blotted out.

Where were you? What were you? Now then, let us learn this. If Jesus had total recall, which he evidently did, and his history is Hebrews 5, 5 to 11, and 12, 1 to 2, enduring unto blood, then add to it Luke 2, 4 to 7. Now let's go and look at Luke 2.

Now we're talking about this one who said, I am a prefigure of history. I

saw Satan fall. I was there with Abraham. Ask me one question about eternity and I'll tell you. Now, here's what it says. And it came to pass. Oh, beg your pardon. Luke 2, 4. And Joseph went up to Galilee, a city in Nazareth, called Bethlehem, so on. Be taxed with Mary as a thousand -wife draped with child. It was there she heard delivery was accomplished. She brought forth her firstborn son, wrapped in swaddling clothes, laid in a manger. There was no room there in the inn. Swing back to Matthew 2,

13 to 15. When they were departed, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph and James, saying, Arise, take the young child and his mother and feed Egypt, and be thou there till I bring thee word, for Herod will seek to kill the young child. When he rose he took the young child his mother and by night went to Egypt that there might And was there till the death of Herod that it might be fulfilled spoken by the Lord by the prophets saying out of Egypt ever called my son Matthew 2 19 to 23 Herod was dead the angel appeared to a dream Joseph in a dream saying rise go back to Israel the man's dead so he rose and took the child of Israel He said now don't go back to the Galilee said you go over there Don't go to Judea. You're to go to Galilee. She went to town, little town called Nazareth. Now let's swing back to the book of Luke again.

41 to 52.

His parents were under Jerusalem every year at the Feast of Passover. He was 12 years of age, under Jerusalem, the custom of the feast. When the days were fulfilled as they returned, the child tarried behind. And Joseph's mother didn't know it. They supposing he was with the company, went certain number days journey. And they couldn't find him, so they came back and found him in the temple asking questions and answering questions. They were all astonished at his understanding. She said, why did you do this to me and your father? He said, I must be about my father's business. Why did you come looking for me?

Now here is somebody who said, I was there in the beginning.

Now I ask you a question, do you really believe that? Now it's easy to say amen, but do you really believe it? That's another picture entirely.

Not some Trinitarian hogwash of God like a fountain spewing up the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost. But this one was the Son who was the actual image of God. And an image is not the real thing.

But this image was not sculpted with hands. This image was what naturally came forth as a woman naturally gives childbirth.

So God at a certain time definitely brought forth. He came out of God. A full -fledged personality. Can you let that just settle in your minds this morning? A full -fledged personality had that ability.

Now we see him after Matthew, the fourth chapter. He's full of the Holy Ghost, becomes a full tabernacle of God. Then he goes out and resists the devil. Yet in Matthew 26, he prays to God, if possible, let this cup pass from me.

Now, if you don't know what I'm saying, I'm giving you a picture of pre -existence in a human body. And so, therefore, if you feel you've got trouble, be my guest. Sit down and cry. Tear your hair. Slobber. I don't care what you do. Just don't deny it.

Do what you want. You tell me I'm wrong. I say, you're a liar. I'm at the White Throne today. I've got to meet you. I have read the Bible.

You say, well, there's two persons there. How about there being four then?

How about five or six? Any number you want. Let's find out what Philippians said.

2 and 5. Let this mind be also in Christ, who being in the form of God, thought it not a prize to be grasped and retained, equal with God. But he emptied himself, made himself an orification, and took on him the form of a servant, was made in the likeness of men, and being found in fashion, as a man humbled himself, became a being unto death.

Glorify me with the glory I had with you in the beginning. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? I don't pretend to understand it all, but I've got the scripture here so I can believe it. Pre -existence. Let the mind receive this, as we say, meditate upon it until it becomes a part of us. It becomes not dogma. Dogma is the authoritative doctrine of men.

Authority of doctrine by men. It's a good word, dog, maw. Dog is a dog, which is a male prostitute, and maw is a mother.

Are you the result? of a male prostitute this morning by believing the creeds that other people have taught you, like your Trinitarianism, your falling away, hating election, foreknowledge, and predestination, refusing to believe in a preexistence which is laid down by God, which the prophet vindicated, refusing to take these things because, oh no, it doesn't work. Well, you know what dogs bring forth. Dogs,

prostitutes,

type of the homosexual.

Brother Brandon said the church does not want the speaking in tongues and the slobbering and the crying to bring forth a child into this world, a child of God. No, they've gone to homosexuality where they know there can be no children. And everybody's a child of God. Talk about it. It becomes doctrine, dogma, or dogmatic faith. A dogmatic faith is that which is without vindicated proof. They merely say it. So they write books and say, Brother Branham is wrong. And God was so good and so shrewd and so smart, so wise. He never let the confrontation evolve and mature.

Because the confrontation, they'd have died. And then they'd have said, the Lord, he is God, the God of William Branham. But it couldn't be that way. God sent him for us who are believers. We do not become believers, Brother Sitchin. We are believers. That's a big difference, you know. It becomes not dogma to believe this truth, but true principle of doctrine making it dynamic faith of full persuasion and assurance as it was with Abraham before the promised son came in the flesh. That faith and persuasion came through the presence or the peruse of God, the sealing, like Paul had, like Abraham had. Before the son came, there was a sealing to receive the son.

I hope this is not going over your head. Just begin thinking of those seven seals and Christ is the seal. Begin thinking what was opened, what brought, what can bring healing for us except the ribbon Christ wants more, the life of the word pouring forth. This message for our healing, this message for everything. Nothing but it. Notice Abraham, the prophet, saw and believed and Sarah, the wife, was shocked into faith by the dynamics of Hebrews 4 and 12 as he read her heart. The bride needs the shock treatment to clear her mind of dogma and make the mind free from all man -made creeds and accept the true word of Almighty God. Now, how much time we got?

Forget it. I can't go through two pages in ten minutes. We'll stop right here. Whenever we get back to it, we'll get right back to the thought. We'll read the last. We'll read this little portion I read to you. And we'll go right into the fact of the revelation of St. Paul of the seed bringing forth a body. And we will see the word of the prophet a million times correct that there was a body waiting for us and there is a body waiting for us. But nobody knows that but William Branham and the people that stand under his ministry. They'll put that into the money and they'll put it everywhere. But I will show you conclusively the prophet never lied. It's just our lack of perception because we take a thing but we don't believe it. I'm going to just make it so simple we can go home. How many women can take a recipe and still botch your cake up? My wife would be the first one to say, leave your talking about me now. Don't be that way in public. I'll

tell you something. Other women can take a recipe, and there's no botch. And they both do the same thing, the same way. You

know why? Because one person doesn't really believe in being a good cook to the extent that that's where it all lies. There's

something in them. Listen, let me tell you something. Anybody that's a classical music player,

can sit down at a piano that is nothing but metal and wood and plastic. Ivory doesn't obtain anymore, you can't get it, so they got the plastic. And a bit of felt and things like that. And if you are a Roger Williams,

you can bring a tone out of that piano. And he's not classic, but just any. The thought of his work, because he has one of the greatest touches as far as I'm concerned in this world. Now they say the same thing about this Dane. Borgia. Known to have one of the greatest touches the world's ever heard. And you get some mechanical player that may be even more mechanically inclined than a Rubinstein. Yeah. Or a Franz Liszt. Or someone modern like some of these great players. And I'm not too familiar with them because my mind goes back to the old -timers because I've got their records. But you've got Schifra from Hungary that plays Liszt. That man. mechanically better than Shifra, will never do with that dead piece of junk what Shifra does. What is it? It's been proven it lies in the spirit of the man. It does not lie in the inanimate. But the powerful spirit of that man can bring something out of that piano and out of that organ that the greatest mechanic in the world can't do. Bless that spirit there. So this was making your cake.

This was making anything. The Spirit of God gives us the right to believe this word and to see this word brought into the depth of an understanding and forced down through those channels into the soul until every time Pavlov's bell is rung, the dog salivates. Every time God's bell is rung or the trumpet is sounded, we look up like the eagles scream to us. And every time we hear the word attribute, we know we're a part of God. And this is what must fill the vessel unto glory, brother, sister.

I'm not telling you the truth. I missed what Brother Branham had to say. I don't know what he said and I don't even know why he said it. Have

a good time. Hope you enjoyed it. Mr. Ears are tickled because you heard things you maybe wasn't here for any other place except a goofy dump like this. I

don't believe that for one minute. I can't believe it. I may not believe it the way I want to believe it. And I may not believe it like I'm going to believe it. But

I got enough of something to know. I like what I'm teaching.

If it merely intrigues, it's the best intriguer ever because it answers all these questions that have been mucking around for years. Transmigration. Reincarnation. Flappanty. Poof. Come on. It answers the questions of nature. It answers everything we need to know.

Just got to believe it. That's right and be dismissed.

Gracious Heavenly Father, we thank you again for your love and your kindness that you extended toward us, Lord. We're very grateful. Especially grateful, Lord, to come together and just talk about these things that you have given us through the prophet. He opened doors. He opened avenues and channels, Lord. And what he said we know to be the truth, he didn't call us these things for nothing. Father, we just say one thing. We don't understand a lot of things. We don't know a lot of things. But the closest we know, at least, Lord, at this time is this. We saw something that nobody else had. And there was something there, Lord, that somebody answered to. Because we know there's no way that he could do of himself. And if he did of himself, then that puts the whole thing, Lord, into whatever... I don't know. I've got no way. Because nobody else could do it. But we see, Lord, a parallel we believe in the way that we see with Jesus. As the prophet told us, his words did what no other man's words did. And that's why we stand, Lord, on this and we say that our mind, O God, needs a greater renewing. We need the baseball bat of your love, your corrective love. This word of God filled with the Holy Spirit just whap us right across the mind. And as it crossed these eyeballs and these ears and round the mouth and round the heart, just whap us real good, Lord, to knock every bit of unbelief and everything out of there that doesn't belong there at this particular time. So that, Lord, if we are having problems, you help us to get rid of these problems by just burning them right out of us, O God. Burn them right out, Lord, so there's more and more room for the Holy Spirit. And I know, Father, you haven't taken anything away from us. When we saw the prophet's life, we saw him to the very day. He was harassed by problems. He was burdened by the fact people would not listen. He was overcome by the fact of your visitation with him, O God. Such a visitation, Lord, that even a dumb bunny like me could see it on his face, Lord, and know that something had happened. God in heaven, I know that that man sure must have been under restraint. But I know, Lord, you're not under restraint. No way, because you're dealing with us. as we ought to be dealt with. And you're not bothered. You're not provoked. You just told us to smarten up and get relaxed. Now, Father, this morning, I pray the relaxing power of the Lord Jesus Christ through this message delivered to us. This last call, Lord, when you are gathering your people, as Paul prayed by the gathering of the Lord Jesus Christ, which Brother Branham said was the message. Let that relaxation come upon our hearts and minds and souls. To such an extent, Lord, Such relaxation that everything that is not magnetized to the Word of God slides right off into the abyss to be burned and cast out as refuge, as Paul said, as dung. Help us, Lord, and that which is magnetized to it, Lord, I pray will now take us right this place and ruthlessly drive out every thought that doesn't stand with the Word. Grant it, Lord, this morning because there are people here that... I know I have doubts and fears. We all do. I know there are people here that need healing. They need this. They need that. There's no doubt about it. People, Lord, looking for their children to come in, which we believe there will be those yet coming in. God, we're looking. So help us, Lord, at this time now to have reached by the grace of Almighty God a plateau. The prophet spoke up to Brother Hickerson. When you're down here, I'm up here. But when I'm gone, you'll be up here, Father. We take that to mean to be absolutely the truth of God. So unto thee we ascribe the honor and glory now, Lord. May your name be magnified. May all saints of light walk in the light with the blood cleansing and the fellowship sweeter every day. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Take the name in Jesus' name.
