I'll try to eliminate quite a bit of my notes here and just follow a briefer outline of a message entitled One of His. And in the eighth chapter of Romans, the ninth verse, and just the last part of it, it says, Now,

it says here that those who are of Christ evidently have his spirit, and those who are not of him do not have his spirit. You could say that roughly the people in this world are divided into two groups. One group are His because they have His Spirit, and the other probably are not His because they do not have His Spirit. And I say broadly because you'll notice that it's coming in Matthew 25. Only those who have the oil and the lamp, which is the Holy Spirit, are allowed to go in with Him. It's showing. that only those that are truly of the Lord have the Holy Spirit. And those that do not are not of him, they'll not be in the bride, and they'll have to come up with the white throne judgment. Now, those who are the Lord and those who are not the Lord have not only just the difference, and that is that one has the Holy Spirit and one hasn't, but there is a manifested difference. the two of them. Now, many people like to talk about the person that's full of the Spirit different from the man who's not, and they mention such things as great miracles and great gifts and things like that, but the Bible doesn't say that. The Bible pinpoints the difference over in 1 John, the third chapter, verses 1 and then 9 to 13.

Now right here, you're going to notice that the difference between the sons of God and those who are not of God, the difference is not something visible. You're not going to be able to tell it by the clothes they wear, by what they do, what

they perform, whatever.

supernatural is bible

says that there'll be no more reason to recognize you than there was to recognize jesus christ and he was not recognized now i know that you're thinking he had great miracles and he stood out from the crowd and uh he had many things that were plainly visible to you and me as a criterion whereby they could have known him and i just say you're wrong you're a million miles off your thinking Because the Bible said, had the princes of this world known him, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory. They did not know him. You follow me? Now let's get this straight. I don't teach for the sake of talking. It's too late in the day. They didn't know who he was. They could not know who he was. They were entirely blinded. There was nothing that he did that made them to know the difference. And I don't care what he performed. That difference didn't lie there. The Bible said they did not know him. And they won't know us either. And yet there is something the Christian has to make him different from the other person. There's got to be something manifested. Or how in the world are we ever going to satisfy ourselves? We've got anything, see? All right, let's go to the ninth verse. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin, for his seed remaineth in him, and he cannot sin because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil. Whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. For this is a message you heard in the beginning, that we should love one another, not as Cain was of the wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him, because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. Now it says right here there is a manifested difference. There is something that you have got, the other fellow has not got. It's evidently something that you possess that the world cannot judge by. And yet it's there. Because it says you won't know, and yet there is a knowledgeable difference. Now notice what it says beginning in verse 9. Who said was born of God does not commit sin, for his seed remaineth in him, and he cannot sin because he was born of God. Now it says here categorically that the man was born of God cannot commit sin. Now it says why his seed remains in him. Now let's forget that little part in there, because it doesn't tell us too much. Unless we know what seed is, we'll never understand it. But if we don't understand what that seed is, it still doesn't matter. I want you to leave out that phrase and read it this way. Whosoever is born of God does not commit sin. He cannot sin because he is born of God. Now this tells you the reason the man cannot sin. The reason he cannot sin is because he is not capable of sinning. The reason that a stone does not fly is because it cannot fly. The reason that you and I do not walk on water is because we cannot walk on water. The reason we do not lift a building that's 20 stories high is because we cannot lift a building 20 stories high. The reason a man of God does not sin is because he can't. That's what the Bible teaches. I believe that this man can't sin because I saw him sin. You're a liar. The Word of God is true.

Because we said a while ago, there's nothing you're going to see here. Not something we can put our finger on and say, this is how the man acted. This is what he did and all of those things. It isn't fair. It just isn't there. But this man will not sin because of that seed in him. And this in him, he cannot sin. There's something about him that cannot sin. Now, what in the world sin is, I don't care what it is. Evidently, your idea and my idea is way off the beat from what this Bible is teaching about in this phrase here. See? Now, let's go on. It says in this. The children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil. Right here. Whatever this is. For this man cannot sin. Whatever this person cannot do, and the other one can do.

Now, whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God. Now notice. Whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God. In other words, he hasn't got the Holy Ghost. Right? Because David of the Lord had the Spirit. Is that right? That's our text. And those that are not of the Lord do not have his spirit. Same in ABC. So, therefore, you're full of the Holy Ghost. If you're spirit baptized, spiritual, whatever you want to put it, it positively says here that this fellow here, if he's got it, will not do unrighteously. Neither he that loveth not his brother. Now, it doesn't say about the coming next door, but his brother. Now, who's his brother? According to Hebrews, his brother is one. of the same source that Jesus is. Because he was sanctified and they are sanctified are all of one source. And for this cause he's not ashamed to call them brethren. The brothers are those that are absolutely of God. And if you're of God, it's on one basis. It's your original seed and you receive the Holy Spirit as your proof to you. There's a difference now between you and the fellow that hasn't got the Spirit. Now, let's look at another appearance. It says here, Verse 12, Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. Now, let's go further. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. Now, right here, you've read this a thousand times, but you've missed it. And I know you missed it, because if I missed it after reading every 5 ,000 times, there's no doubt you'd read it 20 ,000 times and not get it. Now when you read this, you think right away that when Cain slew his brother, he did an evil thing. That is not what the Bible says. The Bible says because his work previous to the slaying was evil, then he slew his brother. The slaying of his brother was not the evil work. You follow me? Then why did he kill him? Because his deeds were evil. What did this man do before? I say, what did Cain do before he killed his brother? What did he do before that out of this thing that he did, he killed his brother? You follow me? That Genesis is the fourth chapter. That's

read. Second verse. Second part. Abel was a chief of the sheep, but Cain was a killer of the ground. Now notice they're both in agriculture.

Yeah, both in the same thing.

Two different branches of the same thing. And in process of time it came to pass that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord. And Abel also brought of the persons of his flock, and the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel to his offering. But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell, or down to his boots. And the Lord said to Cain, Why are you mad? Why is your countenance falling? Why are you showing it? Note it now. If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted. If thou doest not well, sin lies at the door, and thou shalt, unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. Now, what happened out of this? The wrong offering brought about the killing of Abel. Is that right? That's right. What was the unrighteous work of Cain? Now, you won't get this by reading the Hebrew. But remember, Jesus quoted the Septuagint. Peter used the Septuagint. Paul used the Septuagint. They all used the Septuagint. I don't care if the Bible was written in the Hebrew. If the Septuagint that they used, which is the Greek, the entire Bible, was accepted in the Greek. That was the language of the day. And here's what it says in the Greek. Thou hast offered right. Yet if thou hast not rightly divided, hast thou not sinned? And do you know Cain did offer right? Can you find in the Bible that an offering of the ground is not right before God? It absolutely is. God demanded offering of the ground. He said, bring me the first fruit. He said, bring me the wave offering. He said, bring me a meal offering. So therefore, what Cain did was right. But he put it in the wrong place. He divided wrong. Blood

should have been applied first. If he had taken the animal with the blood, then he could have used the fruit of the ground. Now what does it say in 2 Timothy 2, chapter verse 15? Study to show thyself approved unto God. A workman that needeth not to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth. Now, when are you going to be ashamed? You're going to be ashamed on that day. What day? The day when it's going to be manifest before all exactly who and what you were. Now, there's only one type of thought we have from this scripture we can go to, and that's exactly what we found in the Greek back here in the book of Genesis, and this is that this man... interpreted the word of God wrong. And his service to God, because it was not, was lined up within the framework of the word God refused him. And this man became unrighteous. He did exactly what his mother did. His mother listened to the interpretation of the word by the enemy instead of by the Holy Spirit who gave it. And God remembers the Holy Spirit he gave him. We told her exactly what she ought to do and told Adam. But they did not do it. It was a wrong interpretation or division of the word of Almighty God. In other words, it was the word without a revelation. And unrighteous is before Almighty God. The unrighteous thing here is to attempt to do anything or to know anything apart from a true revelation of Almighty God. And it was this very unrighteous thing that Cain did that God had to judge that brought him out to be the murderer that he was. See? Now, you notice what I said a while ago? That just what God said, he said, you did right. He said your offering was good. So today, you can see, and this world, as Brother Branham taught us, that there are many things that are going on. They are perfectly good. They are perfectly legitimate. But they will never stand the test before God. I don't care if a little woman here in Pittsburgh, as she claims she's won 30 ,000 souls to Christ, I don't care if she's won 500 ,000 souls to Christ, so -called. I don't care if she went to the graveyard and raised all the dead out of the graveyard. I wouldn't care if she went to every hospital and emptied every hospital and she stood on the strip to the dead. lay hands upon the sick and they shall recover, cast out devils, rule the sick, raise the dead, freely give therefore unto others. I don't care. She quotes every word of Scripture. The Bible says a woman cannot do it.

Therefore, what she has done is unrighteousness. And no matter what comes out of it, it's unrighteous. It won't stand before God. But a person full of the Holy Ghost will never make this mistake.

They're never. Now do you see the difference between the two? They can both be casting our devils. They can both be raising the dead. They can both be praying for the sick. They can both be doing this. They can both be doing that. But there's one of them. It's in that word. He's right with the word of God. He's within the framework. But the other one absolutely is not. That's why as I say in the day of judgment, people have to say, Lord God, we do not cast our devils. And I may prophesy. I may go into work. And he'll say, I never knew you. Because of me, you that work iniquity. Now, the actual act of the person or the thing being done, you cannot say, was a diabolical thing in itself. But notice, it was unrighteousness because it was outside the framework of the Word and God cannot accept it. Now, it says in this are the children of the Word and the children of God and the children of the devil absolutely manifested. You're going to find that there is one that stays within the framework of the Word, and then he says, and they love each other, not like Cain that chose Hitler. Now, notice what Cain did. Cain brought an offering, right? He did exactly the way the Scripture said to do it in that particular case, but not as the Scripture said it according to sequence or chronology. What was it? It was the word out of season. Now, you try to get a word out of season and let it stand before God. It's what Abraham said. Here's a word for you. Would you try and tell it to somebody?

Now, as I said here, this man, Cain, did an exactly right thing, which was to bring an offering up to the ground, but it was in exactly the wrong place. So it was a work of iniquity. It was an unrighteous thing. And out of this unrighteousness comes every other diabolical thing you'll ever lay your hands on. Now, if you don't know just how far this goes, let's just go over here and see what Cain brought to us in John 16 and the second verse.

shall put you out of the synagogue, yea, the time cometh that whosoever killeth you will think that he hath brought a servant. This

murder is going to come out of it. Those two spirits so close, it is brother. Now, this is brother after the flesh. That's why the Bible says, if you're really in this thing, you'll love your brother, but who's your brother? Is my brother somebody that comes along and goes against the word of God and teaches concerning what the prophet says? Now, this is something you've spoken with very well against me there, but I'm going to not hold my punch, guys. I'm defending myself or anybody else that stands up against anybody, and I don't care who anybody is, that says contrary to what William Brannan said. Now, let's get this straight. I don't have anybody here to defend. I don't have a wife. I don't have a child. I don't have a son. I don't have a daughter when it comes to this message. I stand up straight for one thing. I'm not fucking anything. I'm just, that's my Hungarian nature to lay it out extra strong, so don't get rattled on me. There is only one thing we stand for, and that is the word of God that's

delivered to us. and revealed to us by a prophet. Therefore, I have all the love in the world for anybody. The

prophet says, I reserved in myself the right to stand up like the Apostle Paul, who said, I wouldn't have thought they were cut off if God would show them. He dares to try to fool one of God's people by teaching anything but the revealed truth of Almighty God as I vindicate a prophet. It sounds tough, but I can't. And I want the whole world to know where I came from.

Right down the line. that anybody says contrary to William Branham says. There is only one place where that man stands, where that woman stands, where that child or anybody else stands, because we don't care who it is. It says in Acts, it's one of your chapters, and in the 30th verse, also of your own self shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Now, the brother there, I don't believe a fine man or a fine woman or a fine this or a fine that, yeah. Oh, excuse me, men preachers. We don't have women preachers, so let's stick to it. I tell you, that brother's a fine brother, and I don't believe that he would go away to suffer. Oh, I know he says different what the prophet said. You don't believe the Bible. You don't believe the Bible. You just say it is. You're as guilty as he is. Because the Bible says they do it to draw away disciples after themselves. So I don't think that's the case. Can you call him Paul Ryan?

I reached out to an organization, nomination, and all these little things, and we think we're smarter than that. We come out.

This is life and death to me. I ain't going nowhere with this message. I've got no place to turn. If this message is not true, as far as I'm concerned, there is no God. It's all just something that takes place. We all got food and stuff to eat. But here is a man with thus said the Lord. Thousands of times never faith. Here is a man who can come back and tell you in faith, if I didn't tell you the truth, I told you lies, I'd be a hypocrite. And you know that's the truth? But no other man can say that. I can't say it. No preacher can say it. If I or anybody else tells you a lie, it's only because we were absolutely mistaken. Abraham could say he was a hypocrite because he had the only ability to get to God and get the answer and bring it back. And then if he said he was a hypocrite. Now if I said I was a hypocrite, you and I would be doing? I'd be saying, you watch these days. You listen in because he's got all the answers.

You follow me? Let's not be taken in by words here and words there. You judge a man's words. You be careful what you hear. The Bible says, you be careful how you hear, you be careful what you hear.

If I tonight, or any man, deliberately says one thing contrary to what the prophet... I say deliberately now, knowing the prophet has said certain things.

...only trying to do one thing, that's to get followers after him, come follow him.

I'm going to tell you something, you never listen to me there. If you find me ever one time wrong or contrary to what the prophet said, you come and tell me, and tell me now. Go ahead, tell me now.

And we'll see if I have said right or you have said right. Whether you thought he said it or I thought he said it. We're going to find out what he said.

They say perverted things. They say off it. He said it because they want to have a following. You've

got three kinds of preachers. You've got the bulldozer. The bulldozer with the Sherman tan. They take you right over. And you've got the politician. And he'll use you. And you've got the sweet, sweet, sweet to the ground you need honey. And you've got the postman's child's liver. He doesn't care what it sounds like or where you're going or he's going. There's just one thing that counts, and that's the word. Not trying to be mean, not trying to be sweet, not trying to be political. Just put that word right down the line. I want to cross those men across America all the time.

Because the bulldozer said recently, he said, Jesus, if you're looking for Jesus, just come back with outstretched hands, arms, and a physical body alone. You want a quota, got it right here in the wall.

He said, here, look, read it for yourself. You're right, you're here. It's over on the mighty Congress preached over here in David's field.

February the 7th, 64. That's when the field's open. God promises he will send Jesus Christ a second time. He will come in a physical form. He will claim his own. There will be a thousand -year millennium reign upon the earth with the redeemed. That's what he promised. That's what we're looking for at Algebra. Those

who went to the land.

We're in the first stage right now. We're through the shelter there. Paul

said in Hebrews 6, any of you seem to think you have missed it. Don't think that way. And

they

all think incredibly in Brandon's day.

They've got to have your father.

They've got to make sure that you know.

Love your

brother? Who is your brother?

The man that tells you a lie? Paul said he was a false apostle.

False teacher. Peter calls him false teacher.

That's why it behooves us to know this word, to hear these tapes, to read those books, and know what he's saying. And stand up and be founded, because it's getting thicker. You know what they call it, a mullet of tawny that they're trying to give us anymore, and I always do what it is, but it's getting thicker by the minute. I know one thing, it's not pure water. It's not the need of the word. What man adds to it takes away to get disciples. When did William Branham ever ask for discipleship? When did the man himself, the vindicated prophet of God, ever said, now you listen to me, because I'm going to do something for you?

He took them right through the word of Almighty God. We

need to stand all as we never have stood before. Because here is exactly what we're taught. He said this is what it was in the beginning. Not back when Jesus was on earth, but it's what Abraham taught. It's beginning of beginning. Go back to Genesis. That's where John's at. And he said there it is in the beginning. He said this man, this man killed and out of his unrighteous work. Now what was his unrighteous work? Beautiful. Beautiful. His spirit so close that I can hear that. Well, here's my lovely flower. Here's my lovely pizza. Here's my lovely apples. My lovely oranges. Here, here's the fruit. Here's all. And he said, see this? And God said, he said, that's exactly right. And he said, you're right, I don't know. You haven't decided yet.

Unrighteousness. Unbelief. How can you and I have faith in Almighty God if our interpretation of the word of God is wrong? So is your interpretation of my interpretation. There isn't any except the prophet taught it. Now, let's go see this if I'm giving you something out of my own mind or what Jesus said himself in John 8. You feel with me? Okay, now, let's go on, see, and find out I'm not as bad as it sounds. Yeah, that's just my way of saying things. But it's too late in the day to mince words. Now, listen, in verse 47, he that is of God heareth God's word. Who's

of God? Those who have the Holy Spirit. Nobody else. You, therefore, hear them not because you are not of God. Now, what's the criterion? Why does that manifest a difference? There's a difference now, he said, between the two of you. Is that right? There's a difference. But what is that difference? It's not something you're going to put your hands on and say, well, I know Catherine Kuhlman simply got to be baptized with the Holy Ghost because, bless God, she's got a great ministry. Bless God, that has nothing to do with it.

She's of God when she shows that she's of God by lining up with that Word, by the correct interpretation and walking within the framework, ministering within the framework. Isn't that what the prophet taught? Now, he that's of God, here is God's Word. If you've got the Holy Ghost, when you hear God, your brother Brian said to hear as you understand. Now, why do you say that? Well, he had to say that because that's what it says in verse 43. Why do you not understand my speech? Even because you cannot hear my words. Now, do you think for one minute that Cain understood what God was saying? He did not. He swore that he did. And because he couldn't get back at God, what happened? He began to tear apart and shit his brother. That

was in the flesh. He was no brother to the spirit. He was only a brother on the ground that came out of the same wound that the other fellow came out of. We're in the same church today. We're in the same mixed up old world. And there's a bride, and there's a foolish virgin, and there's a bunch of others all in one great big melting pot.

Who's your brother?

When he found Cain was all messed up. Did he say, well, Cain, old boy, study with all this. I won't offer any more blood offerings. I'll offer the fruit of the ground like you do. We'll just be listening to each other.

No. Cain, Cain. And no, I'm not saying he said this, but he could have well been something like this. Now listen here, Abel. You know, you know very well that God has shown favor to you because of that stupid blood offering. Now you both worship God's own. And they're both brothers, Alan. Now, tell you what, why don't we sort of play this thing together? You've got an offering. I've got an offering. Oh, I'm sure you've got an offering. You've got an offering. Very beautiful. You know, around the namefold. Let's be real nice and sweet about this thing. Now, tell you what, just lay off of that stuff. Don't

hold it up to me that this is by revelation, this is it, that you've got to go by that word there, and don't marry. Have a nice time together. Now, do you think that Abel said, well, I like that. I think we really got something there. Or did he say, listen here, King, I'm going to tell you something. The reason that God honored me was because of the revelation, which is a complete faith operation. I can't change, and I'm going to tell you now, you're wrong. It

had to be something like that, because it brought the two men in conflict.

Not just saying something simple, and I'll say, well, this fellow offered, and God didn't like it, and this fellow offered, and God did like it. The men were brought into a conflict. Now, King never fought. All he could do was stand right there. with that word and say, brother children.

He could not hear. We cannot understand or hear. Jesus said, why don't you understand my speech? Even because you cannot hear my words. He said, how is it that you can't become a part of it? They could not become a part, those that were trying to listen and those that were just hearing these words casually through the eardrum. They couldn't. They could only become a part on the grounds of revelation. They would become identified just like apostles. became identified with Jesus. They became identified with him by the word. They never became identified by the miracle ministry, although we can talk about that. They never became identified any way but by the interpretation of that word. And they hated Jesus for who he said he was and for how he interpreted that word. And they killed. But those men stood with him for what he was in relationship to the word. See? It had to be that way. Now let's go further. We go to verse 37. I know you're Abraham's seed, but you seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. The

Holy Ghost and the Christ in it, there's a place for that word. Being

one with that word, the revelation. Notice verse 31. Jesus said to those that believe on him, if you continue in my word, then he and my disciples will be. Many people write along, they say, well, you see, if you continue in my word, that means to keep on doing what Jesus said to do. Listen. You can keep on doing what Jesus said to do until you're one million years old and beyond a greater studio to have anybody I know. About

your seven -day dinner. Don't

even use vanilla made with alcohol in a cake. The

alcohol might not burn out. If anybody knows anything, just keep the stuff sitting out there and there's nothing in your room here to take all the alcohol out of it. They'll

go all the way back to the old techniques. And they won't even be poor. You can do everything that Jesus said. Continuing in his word is not doing what Jesus said. That's only part of it. What

he said, how he said to do it, and to whom he said to do it, and where they were to do it. It's not just doing it.

Isn't it strange that Jesus said in that day, in his day, they would circumnavigate the land and sea to turn out a two -fold child of hell? Now what do you think we've got today? The most avid missionaries today, the most deadly sincere, according to the Bible, are turning out two -fold children of hell for their problems. Continuing his word is not just doing his word. There's only one way to continue in his word, and that is through the revelation of Almighty God, because according to King, he was in the word and he got out of the word. Even though what he was doing was in the word.

And Brother Brown said, sure the Bible said cast out devils. Sure it said heal the sick. But he said, supposing God put that on you, can you come up now with my gift of healing and I should take it off? He said, let God fix me to tell me what I should do. Hey, God, that's a fool's idea. That's wrong. Doesn't the Bible say cast out devils? It does say cast out devils. But it doesn't say to cast out devils when God put them to iniquity, or to the sick when God put the disease on them.

Saying with the Word is a different thing entirely. Now, let's see our doctrine on this issue. We'll see it for us. 1 Corinthians 2, verses 9 and 16. As

it is written, I have not seen nor heard, neither in the hearts of man the things that God prepared them to love Him. But, listen, God hath revealed unto us by His Spirit. For

the Spirit searcheth all things good, and each thing to God. For what man knows the things of man, to the spirit of man is in him. Now, you know that's true. Here, a cat doesn't understand a man, and a man doesn't understand a cat.

Formed spirits.

Chickens can't understand ducks, and yet they're both birds.

And a turkey might have a job understanding a chicken. How

in the world could an elephant understand a baby mouse? Man

knows man, but God alone knows God. And the thing about a man, he sure does know the things of man. This is where he gets trapped. He

begins to apply what he knows about a man. and attempts to flatten the spiritual realm when only God can do certain things. Look at Paul. He said, I'd better go down there to Asia Minor. There's a great strong down there. Oh, how they need the Lord. And the Lord gave him a vision and said, no, you're not going there. I don't care how much you think they need you. It's over in Macedonia you're supposed to go.

God wants it done his way. Now it says, no man knows the things of God except God, just like only a man knows the things of the name. Now in verse 12, we have not received the spirit, but the spirit which is of God. Now notice, we have received. God's Holy Spirit in order that we may know the things that are freely given to us of God. That we may know God's grace. Because anything free is grace. Yet we may know the full mercies of God. Which are what? All outlined in this Word. We may know these things. Notice Paul says, which things also we speak. Now notice, these things we're talking about are not deeds.

It's in words. We

may have a revelation on God's Word. Everything

in the Bible that you and I can get our hands on. has to be reduced to word and a revelation on that word. If you follow me, this is where Cain said it. God said, now bring an offering to the ground, bring an offering to blood. So Abel brought the blood and Cain brought the offering. He said, well, that's great. We're going to work as partners. You bring the blood and I'll bring the grain. All right. Both bring the blood.

Here's God's grace. The deep things of God's kingdom are being brought to you and they're being brought by this word, bring the blood and then bring the grace. This is it. I'll bring the blood and I'll bring the grace. and changed it, and all that, two methods, I'll bring you there.

One had a revelation, one didn't.

The things that are given to us of God, everything is reduced to a revelation.

Absolutely everything comes by revelation, which is Word. I don't care what God's got for you. All

depends upon the Word. Why? Because the Word of God alone is brought into manifestation.

Was there a new Jerusalem before all the bride was in? No, sir, and there's still not a new Jerusalem at this minute. There is not. When

the bride is all in, and a thousand years are over, there will be a new Jerusalem come down. Why? Because the bride will be caught up off the earth, so the earth can be completely brought to gases and then renovated and will be caught up to the very heavens of Almighty God, the very soul, and then new Jerusalem is going to come on down. Why? Because there's a word concerning it.

The full revelation is going to come because there's a word concerning it. Everything is reduced to a word. See? Now, notice, which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teaches, comparing spirits with spirits. There it is. The whole thing has got to be a revelation. You dare not begin to try to follow this word without a complete spiritual revelation. I'm going to do something. I'm going to be a preacher. I'm going to do this. Oh, no, you better be sure that you are. How can this man get up in the pulpit and they say, well, you know the preachers have failed. God's ministry failed, so we're going to take over. We're going to win more souls. We're going to make them two -fold children and have what they're going to do. When did God say the ministry failed? How can a clean tree bring forth an unclean fruit? How can God stay in one place? He's raised up a five -fold ministry to bring the bride to perfection. Has God lied? No, sir. God's got those faithful five -fold men, and they will bring this bride to the place he said he is. Let anybody try. Otherwise, they'll have their bride. She'll be called a whore.

And the toughest of the worst, the toughest in a 6 ,000 -year period.

Gracious, rotten, as if she's got a brown star with her little paper frozen under her, and her buttocks bare, and her richest cap, and her rock and roll is all she produces.

He's the one who says we're in truth and goodness, don't you think?

In the day when the full revelation of all the, listen to me, in the day when the full revelation of all the mysteries of God and Christ is fully revealed, they'll crucify the Son of Man and affect the second man. Because

they don't compare spirit with spirit.

Just examine your own heart. I've been away from organization so long, this couldn't possibly apply. Maybe it doesn't apply to me, but just think of that. If you've been around organization the last five or so many years, or six, ten, eight, nine, ten years, and somehow, some of you are thinking, well, you know, they sure did it right back there. You kind of think now, who could do it? The good thing he did.

We always thought so much about prayer meetings, didn't we? How come Brother Cranmer didn't think so much about prayer meetings? He said prayer meetings on the call. How come he said prayer meetings started here and started there? It was the first step to destroying your church. Well, Brother Cranmer, we're praying. Oh, are you? All right, say, God, we're praying. I know you're praying. I admit you're praying, Cranmer. Let

the church come together when there's a problem. Let them all come. I

sound kind of foolish, don't I? A million miles from what we used to be. Let's follow the prophet of God.

Sure, pray. Pray in a closet. Place

after place where women's prayer meeting was the most diabolical thing this side of hell, not only this side here. The women got together for one purpose. And here's a testifying church. And they would say, Oh, we thank God for our prayer meeting. We thank God for our prayer meeting. Did they? Yeah. One of the women took advantage.

Want to pray? Pray in your prayer box. Now, I admit, I could go very wrong here myself. It's very easy.

It's talking in tongues. It's the same as anything. The minute you get out of scripture order, there's

a need that's come together. She

said, Brother Bill, is that? I mean, if someone says, I want to pray, can you pray with me? No, that's fine. That's no praying. That's just someone's problem. You don't pray. Pray through, that's it.

That's a brother's report. This is report. If you're falling and talking about me, you just can't get outside of divine order. Now, I know right away that you're doing so much more and you're doing so much good. I don't see where you are right now. Back to the old thing we were talking about. You're not comparing spiritual to spiritual. You're taking the other measure. And I'm not saying you are the preacher. I'm just using that you as a principle now because we're all in it. We were just taking the physical kind of thing and we're making a wrong thing out of it. So I like this better. But what have I done? What have I done wrong? What's going to stand to test the judgment day? What's going to hold up when he judges? Let alone say who's he going to judge by? The Methodist? The Brethren? The United Church? The Baptist, the Pentecostal, he's going to get by the word. Christ is there. So what does he say? So we've got to compare spiritual with spiritual. We don't begin to say, well, I like this, I like that. Remember how it was, I said a while ago, they're all talking in tongues down in Paul's day, and they're all talking in tongues today. Well, what's wrong with that? Well, brother, baby, you're so mean. We're out out there shooting pool. Pool

comes out of it.

You don't, you don't beat about it. But you see, when King took the offering in the wrong place. And I said, these brothers, what's to stop you shooting fool later on? See, if it happens, what's the shooting fool to send them? What about the little girl down south that they said, well, it's about time our daughter talks and comes back to Holy River. So she talks and comes. And she hasn't stopped messing with every man that's carrying up the line of duty. It

didn't come out of that. It didn't come out of it. Murder came out of taking an offering out of place. Why

did this prostitution come out of it? Why did all our mess come out of it? Why is Christ outside the church today? Because they... They deliberately misinterpreted, misplaced. How did Brother Vance know there were five things you couldn't do? He said, you don't dare misplace it. And you don't dare put it in there. How do you put it in there? In the wrong period of time? I forget many of the students who were there. You remember yourself. What was the type of mystery God gave you? I think you think three or four places in there. And Larkin said the same thing. I don't know if it was Brother Branham or Brother Branham corroborating Larkin, but those things are absolutely like any Bible student would have you. Don't misquote. Don't misplay. And don't misinterpret.

What are you doing? We're coming right back to one thing. A reveal word of Almighty God. Now that's the place to start. But

you see, brother, there. We've got all these things going. Put them all to one side and just get to what that word says. And hold your nose to the ground so I'm killed. He simply falls on that one. He just holds it like that.

We're just too lethal and too fancy possible and too everything yet. We're still looking to think we can bring the ladder ring on. We can't do it. We can't bring anything on. Ladies and gentlemen, face it, we're blood

coming, and there's only one way to be, and that's in the eye.

You go by instructions, and that's all you need to know. You don't bury one bit from the blueprint. As God said to Moses, see thou make all things according to the plan that I showed you now. The blueprint. We were stuck with that blueprint. We're

looking for this great thing and that great thing to come. Don't you worry about that. You can't bring it. Fix with that word. That's all we need to know. That's all we need to have is a revelation. As Brother Brannon said, had Cain had the revelation, but he didn't. Abel had it. And because of that revelation, he did what? He killed a son of God. I wonder how many people today are literally destroyed by organization, misinterpretation, all these things. As Brother Brannon said, the Roman Catholic Church is liable for the billions of souls on this earth. Do you follow me? It's taking the word of God within the spiritual context of the word by revelation. Not by anything else, people. Anything else. I have a poor fellow down there in Birmingham. He's a wonderful friend of mine. I love him sincerely. But you know, you could never tell him that these men of God, these men today, they call themselves men of God. And I just realized the other day, after Brother Bill came in his magazine, and now Mr. Allen, they tend to call himself Elijah. You say to Christ, I never knew that Elijah died drunk. He

didn't die at all. He just caught up in a whirlwind. But here's a man calling himself Elijah. He had a good buddy down there in Birmingham, Alabama. And he believed just because people can go and get healed of great diseases, a man to pray for has got to be a God. And what about you?

Another man just over here in Columbus was so enamored with these men, who tried to seduce the young women in the congregation, after he rapped on their door until he almost broke the door down on them. When he found it, he said, well, don't tell my wife. In other words,

he would put poison in his wife's breakfast food and call it God. He

said it didn't matter to him what a man did. He had the signs and wonders.

It matters a lot. Because I don't care what a man can show. The Bible said here, something caused this man's pain to go off deep. What was it? That unrighteous thing that he did. He tried to serve God. Apart from the revelation that words couldn't do it. Now, the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God. That's right there. He's never done anything wrong. Paul said, I received it not of man. Fresh and blood did not reveal it to me. He said, no, it was a revelation of Jesus Christ himself. He said, they're foolishness unto him. Neither can he know them. Because it takes spirit to discern. To discern is to judge between. You've

got to know how to judge. The

spirit judges all things, yet he himself is judged to know man. It tells you right there. As Brother Brown said, when you've got the Holy Ghost, you've got a built -in filter. You know which way the wind blows. You know which way it blows.

They're not fools. Now, some of us were fools because we were trained in the way we were going so thoroughly. We were blind to it. You

weren't paying for it. I was. It didn't happen. I received the Holy Ghost. It's a very funny thing to say. I was glad I received the Holy Ghost, but I was horrified also because I knew something was wrong. So

deep in creeds and dogmas and the pollution of man's teaching to nullify and destroy the Word of God that I had no hope of getting anywhere as long

as I maintained those creeds and dogmas. Creeds

and dogmas. No more synagogues, no more this, no more that. Now we can go back and if he's out of building, build it because it says here, if he's a spiritual, can judge all things and yet nobody can judge him. Now, Now, here's your evidence right here. See? Cain does something. Abel does something. Bring it up to date. Here's a man does something. Another man does something. And now then, we're going to do the judging. You

didn't pick this thing wrong. Nothing

picked me. Which man has the revelation? It

took more to stay here all night long to see it back and forth enough. There's nothing that you can tell me and I can tell you. But here's the thing. If we've all got the Holy Ghost, the strangest thing happens. We'll all see the same thing. We'll all stand for that thing. But the Holy Ghost hasn't got two minds. If two people claim they've got the Holy Ghost and they both say different things, then either one or both do not have the Holy Ghost. Evidence

of having the Holy Spirit. You've got to watch very carefully because it says the evidence, the reason the Spirit of God was given was to lead you into all truth through a correct and proper division of God's Word. You couldn't think. The seed's in you. What seed? Spoken Word. Written in you. There was a place in there for that Word and the Word was there. Then the light did it. And every time the light hit at that word, it said, Amen. It just broke up more word, more word, more word, until he became a word being. That's why we're waiting for the body now. It's going to be a complete word body. It should be a body of truth, not just a body of Christ. He's the body of the word, because Christ is the word. He is the truth. How can we have headship? How can Christ be here, except for the perfect revelation of his word? He couldn't be, but he is here. He descended by the Spirit, by the Spirit, by the prophet's spirit. And Brother Brant said, I'm not riding the midnight trail saying he's coming. He's already come. He wasn't in his body. That was a pillar of fire. That wasn't William Branham who stood upon an almond tree. Whoever told you that nonsense? That wasn't William Branham. It was Jesus Christ himself. William Branham never came down from heaven. He

was here in America coming out of India. Why don't you think what the prophet said? The prophet said he was Jesus Christ. He proved he was Jesus Christ. He said, see that little book in the hand there in that fourth chapter, fifth chapter? It's down here in the book. That

book was not read. It was meant to be read. It was not read. The opening of those fields and the... The description by the prophet was the reading of that book. For in Isaiah 29 it says, Give the book to the learned. He said, I can't do it. I can't do it. Give it to the ignorant. He said, I'm unlearned. I can't do it. Who are you going to give it to? Give it right back to God. That's the pillar of power from God. He

himself is judging no man.

He who has

known

the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him. But we have the mind of Christ. How do we have the mind of Christ? By the Holy Spirit. He knows all things. He's the Holy Spirit. He's got him. He's got the mind of God. He takes the things of God and shows them unto you. But how? Through the process of maturation. You cannot bear them now.

How be when he has come? As the latter rain is falling on us, there'll be more and more of a revelation, more and more of a revelation.

Now, see, there you are. Now, I

talked about it already, but let's get it again just in case we didn't link it up close enough. 1

Corinthians 14. 36, 37. What? Came the word of God out from you or came it unto you only? If any man thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I read unto you are the commands of the Lord. Now, you can tell right here that Paul and his day had a fuck going on amongst the people right there. Two groups of people.

One said one thing, one said another. And Paul said, look, he said, put your church in order. Get those gifts out of the major assembly and put them all in a room. He said, when you people are going to come together and you are going to enter into a gift ministry, then he said, every single one of you go to a separate room together and there, he said, the gifts and all are judged.

Now, then he said, he said, all right now, he said, if any man here is a prophet, can't be the prophet. Now, I just said think, didn't say what. You need to get carried away. A fellow the other day said he was a prophet. Oh, brother, he was so badly fooled by a guy a few weeks ago that if he's a prophet, and really, I don't know what I am. I'm a 747 airplane made by Boeing. But he could not be a prophet. When

people are easily deceived,

being deceived, brother, sister, is not being gullible. It's

forbearance. until correction is administered. And if they don't take it,

Brother Brown was loving. He was forbearing while his church would not correct. He said to Brother Neville, we will leave it be until we correct them, and then we'll see if it's a bastard child or not. He let them go on and on. You couldn't get a service going without somebody talking in tongues and trying to interpret. And the interpretation, you know as well as I do, was not apropos. There was nothing. It's a fame of the people. When he corrected, it was a bad. Now, what do you mean? Well, honey, it's okay. You just come to our church and talk in terms like you feel, and you do all that while you're going on, and in fact, it'll be real. You just say what the prophet didn't say, and say off it, and that's lovely. We love that. Now, is that what you're talking about? Is this right? No. Are you kidding? Brother,

I'm just a little man in the church. Well, thank God. Where's the big fella? There's no big guy.

There's no holy man, big fella, monkey. Brother Brannigan, he said, if I tell you in the States, according to the Word, he said, you come to me. He

didn't say, just let me go on talking. You

come to me. That's what Paul did. Now, he said, listen, you see, I'm going to tell you something. He said, we're divided right now what the truth is by revelation, and I've got the revelation. Now, he said, you say different from me. Now, I'm going to put you right in that spot. The Word of God come to you or to the Samadhi. Who got this revelation anyway?

I like that. That's the 2 Corinthians, the 11th chapter, and verse 2. I'm jealous of you with a godly jealousy that I've espoused you to one husband, that I may present you a chaste virgin to Christ, that I fear, lest any means, as a serpent devour his instability, you may go out and begin to drink beer. Robert

Banks taught

somebody in the jockey to be a man. I didn't say that. How

could he say that if John has the Holy Ghost in him, and he said, let's go back to the beginning to see where the difference is.

Now, remember, when Eve came to Adam, she was what? A soul -growing, beautiful woman. Is that right? She never came out of his rib. Now, little rib, I'll put you over here and give you some injections and minerals and tattoo to the dirt and we'll just watch you grow and grow. And Adam would say, Hey, I think you're getting something there. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. And she'd say, Hey, something's forming there.

No. She was absolutely blossomed. Right? Exactly. So was the bride born at Pentecost.

blossom, mature, beautiful woman. She was a virgin. And you don't go talking about virgins with any explicit design except for marriage. And they're not proud of your old kids either. In those days, they'd be 16 and upward, fully trained and ready for marriage.

Now, he said concerning this virgin, he was worried about her mind. You've

got time to go to the ballpark and play hanky -panky with the ballplayers. No

problem there. She wasn't going down to the beer parlor sitting on the beer stool and playing with the boys on the bar. She

might be picking up some pornographic literature.

She could have her mind appeasing. And she wouldn't be burdened at all. She'd have a horny mind.

Did he teach this bride? He taught her the revelation. Is that what he said over here? He said, I marvel you're so soon removed from him that called you unto the grace of Christ unto another gospel, which is not another, but there be some that trouble you with perverts. the gospel of Christ.

Perverting the gospel of Christ is to bring forth a pervert. If the word has been perverted to her, then she herself is perverted. He said before, say so I now, if any man preach any other gospel unto you, then you have received already, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men or God? He

doesn't have to go to God and say, Lord, back me up, do this, do that. That was already done. Do I seek to please men? If I please men, I should not be the servant of Christ, but I certify you brethren. The gospel that was preached to me is not after man, neither I received it in man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. He

gave her an absolute revelation, and she was what? A virgin. But if she received something else, she would no longer be a virgin.

Now, what did Paul bring to the church? Paul brought, this is what he brought. All right.

Let's go to John. First John. You

still with me? Oh, I'm a tough customer of you. You'll get to seeing this in a little while if you haven't seen it already. I want to nail it down to you. John 1, John 2 and 18. Little children, it is the last time. There ain't going to be no more time after this. There's no more time than after the gospel you're looking for. Now, you have heard that Antichrist shall come. Even so, there are many Antichrists. Now, Antichrist needs to take the place of. It doesn't mean just again he needs to take the place of. Whereby we know to that time, listen, they went out from us, but they were not of us. If they had been of us, they no doubt would have continued with us. But they went out. That they might be made manifest, they were not all of us. Now remember, what did they go out about? The Word. But you have an unction from the Holy One and you know all things. Don't say you can do all things. It says you know all things. Why? Because the Holy Spirit is Almighty God. And if you have Almighty God, then you know all things by the Spirit. Now you'll never know all that the Spirit knows. But you'll know all you need to know.

I have not written unto you because you know not the truth, but because you know it, and no lie is of the truth.

Now, what was the original lie? You shall not surely die. Yes, they did. Who

is a liar that he denies Jesus is the Christ? He is Antichrist and not the Father and Son. Who shall deny the Son the same as not the Father? That's sure the truth. Let that bear to abide in you which you heard from the beginning. What beginning? Well, we mentioned that over here in the third chapter. See, that goes right back to Genesis. If you have that which you heard in the beginning, shall remain in you, so ye shall also continue in the Son and in the Father. And notice that. If you go back to the original, before there's no fall, when you were put under probation of that word, redeemed by the Holy Ghost, He said, you'll never do anything but continue.

Can't do it. That's the way the bride is. If the bride would have stayed with that virgin word, she never would have got off base. Now here is exactly where people do not agree with us. We are so different from every other student of theology. Listen, it's as wide as east is from the west, how we believe. Because we believe it is a matter of revelation, and they believe it is a matter of works.

Because they don't care who interprets what anymore. Matthew and Demetrius loved the Baptists, the Baptists loved the Catholics, the Catholics loved the Pentecostals, and Pentecostals are going to get them all. Brother Brown said, you know, they'll get them all in 50 minutes with society. Found out the other day a daughter was telling us in Lima. Catholic priests down there, and all these little dear, darling flocks, or not all, but a bunch of them speaking in tongues and having a great time with the charismatic manifestation. And we're all Mary's faithful. That's her Catholic friend. She said, you know, I'm so confused. 20 years ago, what they taught us was all wrong is all right now. Then he taught us, done got them all. So

you have a little post. There's handwritings on the wall. This one of Brittany retired at age 75. He's already cut the boat down, and he's going to stop the curia boarding when they're 80. 75, and he's going to talk to a liberal, and the liberal will put an American pope in the dust, and you watch your thing. In the next 18 months, maybe less than that, this fellow could die. And if he does, maybe a cook will be in some meal. Very liberal man, very well done. Raised more money for taxes than anybody in the world. That's a big guy. So who knows? We're right in the verge of it, see? Just coming to it. Now, and this is the promise that he has promised us, even life eternal. What for? On what ground? Your promise is like eternal. You're full of the Holy Ghost, and you prove it by abiding in the Word. Now, listen, let's go through this. These things are written unto you concerning them to seduce you. He said, now they, what are they going to do? They're going to seduce you. Now, what happened to me? She was seduced. What happened to the virgin? She was seduced. What did she seduce? She was seduced in her mind.

Somebody told her what the prophet didn't say.

Now, verse 27. But the anointing which you have received of God abides in you, and you need not any man teach you. So no man can cheat you. You've got to build and build it.

So he said, look, Brother Brannon, to stand up and perform every miracle under high heaven. He said, they bring you 24 of your worst cases. I'll guarantee healing. And they said, wasn't that great? And then said, there's one God and his name is Jesus. They said, blasphemer. Yeah, oh, lousy one. He said, get out. Couldn't take you if you're a

phantom, baby. They didn't care about that stuff at all. Yet, Deuteron, he's full of it. Any man comes to you in the name of the Lord, that stuff's at the Lord. And the thing comes to pass, the Bible says, you fear him and you hear him. They didn't care. They had no fear. Didn't bother them any. They had a good insulator. Dog wash.

Don't tell me any worse they had. I don't care if this man just said, well, I believe the word, Brother Bill. I don't go for gifts. And then his best friend said to him now, hey, I hear you're going to get baptized in the Lord Jesus Christ. And he said, Bill, if you know me better than that, I don't go for them. That's all. Did you know that for getting him a thing of spinkledine or something like that, That was Luther's right -hand man, that he all but persuaded Luther that there was one God, and his name was Lord Jesus Christ, and watered baptism, and that name was correct. And Luther finally said, I can see your point, that I have no revelation on it, but I can see either way is correct if you want me to go in.

But the same anointing teaches you all things.

Jesus said he shall lead you into all truth, and

there's no lie, and even as it has taught you, you shall abide in him. He's teaching you, leading you into truth. Not

doing now. Not doing. Let's get this straight. The simplicity of this thing is what hog time and making everybody that I know around the country, except those that stick with this word, they're all but curling their toes. They just don't know what to do about this. Oh, let's do this. Let's do that. This great thing. That great thing. Listen, it says, stay with the word. That's

the big deal of getting a woman pregnant. Pimple acts and she becomes pregnant. From that time on, let the pregnancy work itself out. But they can't do that with this word, don't they? Oh, no, that's different. No, no, no. I

can't believe that this second family was going to give a harvest. God said, I'm going to give a harvest. In the first. The first of the harvest. The first time the harvest ever came at the phone, just like that. I can't

believe that. But I do believe. I do believe. I believe this word is going to come absolutely. This word is going to come forth. I believe this word that's in the good ground is going to come forth.

It's going to bring forth itself. That means it's kind of there. Everything is propitious. Everything is just right. God doesn't make mistakes. As this has taught you, no lie. You're going to abide in him. Now, let's go to John, which is the fourth chapter. And read this here. Verses 40. You are a God with a children. You've got the Holy Ghost with a children. You have overcome them. What's that? The seducers. Because greater is he that's in you than he that's in the world. Now, what's that great one doing to you? That great one is teaching. And Brother Branham said that great one is to come. What's that great one going to do? He's going to keep that word you're bringing in the full revelation. He's

greater than those that's in the world that stop disanointing in the world. Not that we hold it disanointing. I'm just that little superficial one. Now listen. They are of the world. Therefore speak they of the world and the world hear them. Is the Roman Catholic Church hearing the Pentecostals? You bet. Are the Methodists hearing the Baptists? You bet. Are they all hearing each other? You bet. Did they hear the prophets? No.

Will they hear the prophet? No. Now listen. Verse 6. We are of God. He that is here is God. Knoweth God. Heareth I.

Now John can look those people right in the face like Paul did, and he said, I'm going to let you know if you know God or not. If you'll hear me, you're

listening to me, not somebody else who says you're of God. Boy, isn't that a mouthful? What kind of a man would get up here and say a thing like that? He said, I know you're of God because you're listening to me.

I didn't say, I know you're of God because I'm going to teach you how to have these gifts. He taught sweet ladies how to have this. He said, I don't know their ABC. Tell them to stop cutting their hair off, no more bangs, no more pants, and no more straps, and no more this, and to come under the beat of your husband, and stop trying to run things and do this and that. And they said, oh, we can't take that.

But they said, we're a God. They weren't a God because they didn't hear him.

I've got the Holy Ghost. Have you? Prove it. You've got two million folks out there who say two million different things to you on the same verse of Scripture. How can anybody have the Holy Ghost with two million people? Have the Holy Ghost and say two million different things? Or let's say, what do you think the Holy Ghost really means? They said, well, let's take a vote on it. Open God, we're going to judge. So he's going to get off the throne. Answer

that question, we've got to run and check with him. Even the psychiatrist can't help it. Listen, he that is not of God, heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. He's all telling you whether you've got the truth or you've got error, because you're going to have to line up with somebody that's got the real positive revelation. And remember, he said, what came the word of God? Until it came the word of God out of you. And John said the same thing. Now,

we know in Paul's view, that was sure great. Of course, a lot of things are flipped sometimes. But it is. Now, John

said, he that heareth us, heareth God. He said, if you're a God, you're going to hear us. Let's find out then if this is true. Revelation, the first chapter, verse

10. I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day and heard behind me a great voice of the trumpet. And, verse 12, I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks. Now you notice that his attention was taken not by the one he turned to see, the voice he turned to see, but he saw the candlestick. And this is all you're going to see of Jesus Christ for seven church ages. You're going to see nothing but a bride. And in that bride there's a voice. And if you look long enough, you're going to see that that voice is the Lord Jesus Christ himself. Because the seven candlesticks are the seven church ages, and the seven stars are the seven messengers. And he was holding in his right hand those seven stars. In other words, the seven stars are the revealed authority of God in the seven church ages. So that's what the right hand is. The seven eyes, the seven horns, the seven spirits are all indicative of the power of God in the bride. And it manifests itself where? Chapter 2, verse 1. Unto the messenger of the church, which is in Ephesus' right. And in verse 7. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. This happened seven times in seven ages. God redeeming himself by his word, which is the full revelation of power of Almighty God, in the bride, to the bride, by seven church -age messengers.

Notice the revelation 10 and 13. But in the days of voice, the seven church -age messenger, and he should begin to sound. Notice he's got a trumpet. And what was it that John turned to hear? He turned to hear the trumpet, the message. The mystery of God should be consummated and pivoted as God has declared the gospel by his servants, the prophets. The complete gospel message and gospel church, the bride, will be finished in the seventh church age. Now, everybody knows that. That's as true as ABC. Now, when is this going to take place? What will it be? First Corinthians, the 15th chapter, 51 to 53. Now, I'll show you a mystery. We are not all asleep. We shall all be changed in a moment. In the kingdom of God is the last trump, for the trumpets will sound, and the dead shall be raised in struggle, and we shall be changed. Notice what's going to happen? That those that died and corrupted are going to come up, and they'll never corrupt again, and we're going to be changed as we stand here. We're not that. This corruptible must put an incorruptible. What's he talking about now? The bride standing there. Not the ones that are coming out of the grave. This mortal puts an immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruptibility, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the same written. Death is swallowed but not destroyed. Merely swallowed as a wild animal is caught in the net of an animal catcher. That's right in the Greek. I never knew it was there when God shows like an animal catcher catching a mad dog. Right in the Greek.

Watch how it happens. The bride in the last trump. Now he that is a God, here is God's word. Now what's God's word for the end time? Now look, I've preached too many sermons on these things. You ought to know these by heart the same as I do. It's all chapter Hebrew. Right? Okay. It says here, verse 25, See that you refuse not him to speak it. For if they escape not who refuse him to speak on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven. Where is the head of that mighty messenger? His head is what? Like the sun, right? He's in the clouds, yet he's seated on earth. So what are you going to hear? You're going to hear from heaven. He has not descended as the Lamb.

It's the Word. Whose voice then shook the earth? Sure did. When he cried out a loud voice, the whole world shook. Now this time, he's going to shake everything that can be shaken. One end -time message that brings in all the Jews and all the Gentiles, all the elect of all ages, into one great bride in the millennium. Is that right? The 144 ,000 are not the bride. This ends it. This ends it. That kingdom of Daniel, the fourth chapter, And over there, in Matthew 17, and in Luke 9, and in Mark 9, the kingdom of the Son of Man, the kingdom of God, all of those, Revelation 20, it's all coming to pass when they're all going to be on this morning. And the 144 ,000 is not a part of it.

They're merely heads, like the souls under the altar. They come and serve the bride, but they're not brides. They're allowed to come in. Only that will be part of that.

Sure, they're part of the kingdom in that way. But I was thinking in terms of the bride and the groom.

Those things which can't be swear for, we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved. At this time, the only ones that will not be moved are what? The bride. And those that come in to serve the bride. Everything else is gone. That's why I believe with Brother Branham it's a honeymoon on earth. I cannot look for children to be born. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. And the kingdom of God is the kingdom of the Son. Matthew 16, 28 is the same as Mark 9 and Luke 9. Kingdom of God, kingdom of the Son of Man on earth, the same thing. 1 Corinthians 15, same thing. You've got to be changed to green. God

speaking. Now, what is that speaking? That speaking, of course, as I mentioned, is the Lord Jesus Christ himself by the Spirit, by the messenger. And if you don't hear then, you're not a part. Now, what makes the difference? The difference lies in what? Hearing the word of God and identifying with that word for your day. Now, the true bride is the one in which is the revealed word. The Holy Spirit baptized one. That's the one that belongs to God. He is the one in which is the word revealed, which is Christ revealed. But how to prove who has that word? Now you see how to prove who's got that word. Well, let's remember this. That Alpha and Omega, Jesus is Alpha and Omega. If he's Alpha, he's got to be Omega.

But remember, Alpha has got to duplicate Omega. Now, if the bride is the body of Jesus Christ on earth, her alpha must be her omega, and her omega must be alpha. So therefore, if she was once a virgin, the word, she has got to return to it. What goes in between? It's still bride. But remember, alpha is not beta. Alpha is omega. So the bride in 7 -6 was not alpha, alpha, alpha, alpha, alpha, alpha, alpha. No, sir. It was alpha. And through here, in five successive steps, one, two, three, four, five, then back to Alpha, which is Omega. Same with Jesus. He came here in the flesh. He's got to return to being what? Omega. He said that where I am, there you may be also. He said it to a group of people in the flesh, but he never said that he was that Omega, see, during those other ages. He wasn't. Why? Because he became the Holy Spirit. Now he's a descending word. She's got to go back to being Omega, Alpha, which is Omega of the flesh. Come

and do it. Go to Brian. She's got to return to being that. Now, what was she then? Notice how she was Alpha in the beginning and what made her Alpha in the beginning. The same thing will make her Omega, which is Alpha. She's got to go back to where she was. Let's go to Brian. We've got to go back to Pentecost. You following? All right. Second Corinthians, the 10th chapter. I hope I'm not giving you too much of what I'm sitting here. Because it's very, very simple reading. Notice in verse 18. For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth. Now, how do you know who God commended? Okay,

let's read on. Paul, now, inserts it. A sort of sarcastic way. A sort of a humble apology. Good to God you could bear with me a little in folly. Be a little foolish with me. But bear with me. Very seriously, I'm jealous over you with a godly jealousy. That you fall for Paul. I've espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. So she's got to go back to being a virgin. That fear lest the enemy, as a serpent, be guileless to his fertility. So your mind should be corrupted from the sense that it is in Christ. Now, if the bride ever returns to this, will she ever run the risk of being corrupted? No! No! No!

Absolutely not. There's no risk. Falls

in the form of rain? It won't do. She'll be absolutely... This is a case of pure election. The very election is on now. Not just election, the very election is on now. Now,

verse 4. He that cometh, preach another Jesus, whom we have not preached. Sure that is. Second member of the Godhead. Who? He's the first member, the only member. If you receive another spirit, there's only one spirit. It's the spirit of God, Jesus. Whether which you receive or another gospel, which you have not accepted, you might well bear with it. For I suppose I was not a wit behind the very chiefest apostle. Now listen. But though I be rude in speech, what's he saying? I couldn't lay it out for you like a great teacher line upon line and a little bit here and there until you put it down 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. No.

He said, I wasn't a great man to come and teach you like you'd like to be taught and lay it out like a Falkenstein or a Plato or some great therapy or some great tragedy or some great professor, Ph .D. and LLD and all that sort of nonsense. Sure, I was reading speech, but not in knowledge. He said, I knew it, but I couldn't put it across to you. What do you think of a man like that? I want to tell you one thing. Will anybody here tell me that you have read all the book of Ephesians and understand the first of it? Nobody here. There wouldn't be one of us there to say, well, I've even got that first sentence exactly right.

Paul was a pretty dumb teacher, wasn't he? According to the word, he sure was.

According to his own self, he was a man. He couldn't beat for the plug nickel. But right here, he said, I'm reading speech. I guess what they're called. I'm like Moses. Sometimes.

That's what they said. Why, the guy wrote, oh, boy, can he write great big long letters that sort of scare the pants off you. When he comes face to face, he sort of can't say nothing. Stutters around, stammers, and backs off. William Brown was the same way. If

you'd have had a man come on the theme of William Brown, he was a great teacher. He laid it on the line, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three. Oh, boy, can that guy teach you? He wouldn't have been the one.

He said, sure, he said, I'm rude and sweet. But he said, not in all. He said, you just try and prove me wrong one point. He couldn't do either. No,

sir. Now, let's read on further now. In that verse 6 especially, see? Now, watch that last part. But we have been thoroughly made manifest among you in all things.

Now, he said, did I ever at one time ever show you any weakness whereby you could put your finger on me and say, this could not be the one? Or did I ever fail? Or did William Brannan ever fail and don't set the Lord either?

Let me prove this out now. Let's go to 2 Corinthians. It's the same chapter now. Beginning at verse 11, 12 to 15. Wherefore, because I love you not, God knoweth. For what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasions and end the desire occasion, that when they glory, they may be found even as leads. He said, all right. He said, if they're going to glory in me, they're going to pull away disciples. They're going to say something off it. He said, let them stand up and let them be vindicated. Because remember what he said over here in that 18th verse of chapter 10. for not he that commendeth himself is approved, but he whom the Lord commendeth. Now, come on, stand up and be counted, he said. Anybody can talk. Anybody can talk. But he said, you get God to stand up for you like he did with Moses. You get God to back you up. Now, that's a different story entirely. Like Brother Brown, if the picture of Bob was a stand -in fact, he couldn't do it, so he ran like a dog. Well, that's good, Joe, because Bob would call him dumb dog. See? Now, listen. But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasions, and then to desire occasions, that when they grow, they may be found even as we. Now, if they're going to boast, you should let them produce it. For such are false apostles, deceitful surfers, that they transform themselves into apostles of Christ. Oh, yes, they'll stand right alongside of me, said Paul. And that's as though they were very chummy with me, and they know my message. And, oh, yes, we

can toss that one off.

Looks like a guy with a million dollars paying the $2 debt. Look at him.

Satan himself was transformed to an angel of light. What

Satan transformed to? An angel of light. Comes in shining on you, being his rain. Tells you a bit of news. Now you listen to me. First is vindication. Doesn't say the prophet said. Why do you buy? We're all better businessmen than to go down and buy apples with rotten apples in them.

My man, I get a pair of shoes and that leather doesn't hold up. I'm ready to go right down now and say, listen, here's a little buckler. We got him. He told me, I'll give you a pair of shoes.

I was out

there at Tucson. They don't pass the plate either. I said, how come you don't pass the plate? The prophet never took an offering for himself, and it was for somebody else. I don't want money. You know I turn your money down. The money doesn't mean one thing to me. I

give money back. Some places I preach, I won't get the blood in there. I

also took one fellow aside as a dozen dozen, said in the prophet's case, that if he gave the money to ministers, how

come your pastor sends money around the world for tickets and conferences and that? Some little boys down in Kentucky, little boys I know, need money. I can't support everybody. I do my best to support and give all I can. But I can't support all these guys. If I gave all the money I had for you and gave some more, I would still have to go begging to supply underneath. But you know, something's wrong. Something's wrong with the Church of God. Oh, they say they believe the prophets. Then a couple of big churches, there may be a few of them, sitting there on piles of money, do what they want to do with it. Well, some of the pastors where the money's coming from are almost starving.

Brother Brannan said, I give it to ministry. Not

you people here. No, I'm just illustrating here. Don't worry. You're not guilty. You don't have to pay. Just start passing. It's being said. It's that simple. So, well, said one brother, it's massive organization. Sorry. Yeah, well, their smacker's not the way the prophet's smacker was. The prophet wasn't an organization. He passed the police. Something wrong with your smacker. It was garbage. What

did he do? He said, do it, do it. This is something anybody can do. The prophet said, don't you dare use your fork and left hand anymore. You put your fork in your right hand. And he said, all right, I like to put my fork in my left hand. But I don't do it. So I put my fork in my left hand. I learned to use my left hand. Yeah, I didn't end up chopping off that pole. But punching the horn there was the only way. That's the only way the prophet did it. I'm getting off this. I just want to illustrate the point. Sure, that's all. You've got no problem with it. You follow. I can take you to church where they don't do it.

Right down the line we go with these things. Now, listen, he said, this is no mystery here. For it is no great thing that these ministers also be transformed. Now, that word transformed is metamorphosis. They go through a process. And in the process, they come out acting like the real thing. All I see here, they are transformed into metamorphosis. Whose end shall be according to their work. What work?

They're generous. They had a transformation. What's their work? The same as Cain. Say what God said. What the prophet said. Now remember, this end time prophet is going to tell you everything that God ever told all of these prophets. And remember, there's only one prophet. That's God himself. He's in that garden. The homeless is going to be brought to life. So they said, what about them seven thunders? Well, he said, that's what those seven thunders were all about. Looking

for seven thunders. I believe he had it. I don't know. Maybe I'm the most mixed up guy in the world. And if I'm not teaching what he said, and he said that I won't be taken until my work's finished, and he said if I'm taken, I won't be back. Now, he meant that the foolish and he's alive.

And he wasn't going to bribe. In the ministry, he could have gone and turned to a good guy and I'd talk to him. He would have done it. He said, you hear what's on those tapes. Now, the man either is a confessed truthful prophet or he's a confessed liar.

That's what I got. He didn't have any conversation with me. I got off that tape. The

other brand wasn't a rock. People can make them anything they want. That's their food and meat. That's their business. I'll be a bad about it. Sure, I'll be a bad about it. I'd be a terrible about it. I want to stick to this word. The guy knew what he was. An honest man.

Who then shall be according to their works. What is their work? Deceiving.

Isn't that what that 11th chapter is all about? It's all about that. The bride won't be a virgin anymore because her mind is her womb and

she's got some wrong seed in there.

Just like Evelyn brought forth an animal man. You ever heard these strange stories that circulate in these stupid magazines or newspapers that come out of New York? Well, thank heaven, I think they finally started changing their stupidity. But for a while you say, a woman gave birth to a monkey.

And how this woman in Brazil is on a bear or snake at the same time she had a baby. That could be a little on the ball for the person who's eating everything. Oh, brother, I can't swallow it anyway.

There's no such thing. But there was in the beginning, when Eve bore an animal man, and his name was Cain. Do you think the bride is going to produce the Lord Jesus Christ and not be pure bride? No, because she's got these 100 % words within to produce Christ, if she will, in a complete manifestation here on earth, because the bride's going to be standing here before that rite. And it's going to be what? The complete body of the Lord Jesus Christ standing on earth, waiting to be caught up as a bride. Remember, she is only called a bride now. What she really is is a body. She doesn't change her gender really until the very minute of that resurrection beginning of the rapture. Then she's a true bride. She's 100 % the virtuous bride of Christ completely. She's getting through so many. Now, so far so good. In

1 Corinthians now, see, I've got the 11 and 12, the 15th verse now. 1 Corinthians now, the

second chapter. And it's four to six verses. Four to six.

All right. And my speech and my preaching, notice, was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and power. He said, I never talked to you. I never came sweet -talking you or with philosophy to drown you with the deluge of verbiage. No, I didn't do that, he said. I didn't come and overwhelm you with my speech. He said, everything I told you, I backed up in the demonstration and power of the Holy Ghost, which is what? Simple, thus says the Lord.

Yes, your faith should not stand in the rudiments, but in the power of God. He said, so when you believe the revelation I gave you, when you believe word by word what I said, and you said word by word what I said until the revelation came to you, he said, then you have faith.

There's where your faith is, in the Word. Because that's what faith is, it's believing God.

Now let's go back to the garden again. Two men said they believed God. And God said, you're wrong. And he surely was wrong by destroying the one that God loved. And always the devil will turn on the bride. Always it's going to be that way. He'll try to seduce you like me or kill you, one of the two. He can't get you by seduction like he got Eve to a bump you off.

When it came time for Abel, it couldn't be seduced.

That's why I know that he said, Abel, sit up against me. But

you just don't walk on the field until you bang on the head.

One man stood up for the revelation.

Why do you think they destroyed Polycarp and those men? It wasn't because they did good things. That's what they said about Jesus. They said, it's not because you did good things we want to kill you. He said, it was because you made yourself God. You forgave sin. You brought a revelation if you were the son of God. You can't take it. What you said is what did it. Now, if you just deny, well, he said, if I deny, I'll be like you.

So, this proves who has the word of God. This proves who has the truth, who has the revelation. Now, at the end time, according to the Bible, There are going to be two kinds of prophets. They will both have signs and wonders, and they will both have a message. You

know as well as I do, there's only going to be one way the false ones get a message, and that is, they're going to do what they did to Paul, which is teach contrary to what Paul taught. Is that right? Absolutely. Because if they start teaching their own dump, which would be so far from what the prophet taught, you say, holy boy, goodbye. Nice to know you. And you treat them as a real clear duck.

But let Satan come and say, has God truly said? Did the prophet really say? Yes,

that's it. Look at Brother Brannan's vision about the women beyond the curtain of time. What was it? About 18, 19 -year -old girls. Where was their hair? Right to the hip. Is that right? So a preacher comes along. I won't mention his name. He's not around here saying dog. But he said, now he said, every woman's got to let her hair right down to her hip, he said. Don't do your hair up at all. Yet Brother Brannan said, you women that complain about being too hot with your hair, he said, he said, how come? He said, doing your hair on top of your head. It's the best way to get food, I know of.

Now, why try to make the prophet say that the hair's got to be down here? The prophet said, do it up once off. He said, God bless you. I don't care how you do it. All I know is the Bible says don't cut it. Now,

why come along and try to tell that woman, that's your hair down here? Then he said now, about skirts. He didn't say, put your skirt down your ankle. He said, neatly dressed, and they must be below the knee.

Women that came to the message wearing granny skirts for it. Here's

a dozen. Look at it. It's this great. In the days of the Old Testament, up until I was a kid, the ankle was the sex symbol, right? Now, you know that. We're not babies here. When I was about 10 years old or so, the knee became the sex symbol. And from that place on, there isn't any symbol. It's the real thing. What

am I telling you about? The thing is, at every age, it was covered. So therefore, in this end time age here, when the world is way up here, you keep yours where it was for your age, which is Christ, which is down below the knee. Don't put it down to your ankle. It's out. That's out. That's on for the call. That ankle doesn't mean a thing anymore, technically, as far as the body's concerned. Now, when the world's all plumbed to hell, let them go. We can't stop them. Women can keep their skirts below them. But not down to an ankle, though. You're right back to the world, just like men. Long

hair and all. I have nothing to say against them. As far as men are concerned, if their hair's the trouble, it's cut hair, I realize that. But it's the spirit behind it. And what they're doing it for, they're doing it for what? You're a cat.

together down opposite Canada not long ago. I went in and got a pair of pajamas. They're a nice heavy kind made by Harvey Wood or Kenwood. No, it's some of something else. I forget. It's a very good brand in Canada. And I was very happy with it because they're nice and heavy. She got the pajamas. So I went home and I thought I better try the tops on because they look like they're a little small. And the tops weren't bad. I thought, that's good. They won't shrink. They're fine. And I inadvertently picked up the bottom and something caught my eye and I turned them over. And there was no flies in the front. And I didn't have time to take them back because there was other things. I had to take them back because these are unisex again because I won't wear them. They're for married females. Anytime there's anything for a male or a female, spit on them and burn them. Why long hair for men is unisex. I

don't understand them and I don't understand men anymore. It's so sticky. It's falsehood. Don't even talk about it. That's why that hair can't be down here because it's unisex. Today you can go down the street and you can drive your car and you cannot tell whether it's a male or a female behind that steering wheel. That's right.

Nothing wrong with that, it's just very easy.

Janice and Jamboree.

Jamboree is a prophet.

Moses was received by Janice and Jamboree, so it will be at the end time. So there will be a prophet of the word, and there will be many who are against the word. And they will take what? They will take the prophet's message to distort it. They don't need to change it, or to do anything about the message of the word, the fundamentals, they're already finished. About those guys, there's only one message they're going to try to destroy, and that's the prophet. The end time prophet. Now, why does God send an end time prophet?

A prophet is a man who brings the word that you're supposed to hear. So when the word is brought by the prophet, what else is necessary? Nothing. Notice what it says in 1 Corinthians 12, verses 27 to 30. Now, you're the body of Christ and members in particular. And God sent their apostles, prophets, and teachers, and miracles, and helps, and elements, and diversity of tongues, and so on and so on. And look what he says over here in 1 Corinthians 14 and 37. If a man thinks himself to be a proper spiritual, let him acknowledge... But the things that I read unto you are the commandments of the Lord. So therefore, as Paul was above the fivefold ministry, and every member of the body of Christ is sitting in order, so shall the end -time prophet be.

And this proves that he himself is neither a prophet, apostle, nor a teacher, nor a pastor, nor a evangelist, who does their work sometimes, but he's a prophet messenger. Because if he were simply a fivefold minister, then he'd be Nicolaitan, who's trying to put the church in order, or trying to tell us what to do. Thanks for watching. agreed to do this. He's going to be just like the apostle Paul put the church in order. And remember, in the unveiling of the mighty God, Brother Branham put church order with the seven seals opening. Just like he put marriage and divorce. See? Now remember, both of these people have the word of God in power. Right. The word of God in power. Like I say, anyone who can prove the word of God is true by manifestation. But what was the truth? What is the interpretation thereof? So listen, as Moses was the greatest, as Paul was the greatest, As Elijah was the greatest, so the end time Elijah will be the greatest by vindication. Or as Brother Branham said, or Jesus said rather, if I had not done the mighty works that more than man did, he said then you'd not sin. But he alone could do those mighty works. So therefore, we have a ministry at the end time in Acts 3 and 21. For it says the heavens must receive Jesus until the restoration of all things. which God has spoken about in the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you, of your brethren like unto me. That's right. And listen, Jesus was raised up like unto Moses, and now there's going to be an end time prophet raised up like unto Jesus. It's got to be. Because, I'll tell you why, listen, yea, in all the prophets, from Samuel, and those that follow after. As many as have spoken, likewise, they are told of these days. What these days? The first coming and the second coming. These days include both. When Jesus came as a sacrificial lamb, and when he comes back here to finish the work on earth, he didn't do it when he was here and he fled. Because the Bible said he was a messenger sent to proclaim the acceptance of the Lord, and also to announce the day of the vengeance of our God. And he never announced that day when he was on earth, so he had to come back. As what? A prophet.

Which he did. through the ministry of Brother Brown, right before our very eyes. And so, therefore, let me tell you tonight, Jesus can come at any time. And to whom will he come? The virgin of his word. And what is the evidence of being one of his brides? Who is that bride? They are they who hear the word, the understanding.

In other words, they coordinate everything Brother Brown has said with that word. His message becomes a key to the open Bible, not mysteries and this and that. That word. That word. They who believe, because remember, faith is a revelation, and Enoch walked with God, and you can't walk unless two be agreed, and you cannot be agreed unless you're one with that word, and you'll only get that word of the Spirit. They who identify in that word, which is Christ. So there is your evidence. It is not character, Brother Bannon said. Now, one tape he really lashes out. He said a great theologian came to this week, and he said, Brother Bannon, we're waiting for character. Now, let's see truth about it. Yeah, I wasn't in the great theologian kingdom that week. This was the great theologian king that week. And he was being very rough but very wonderful to me by letting me think there was somebody else, but it wasn't. I was the one to think. And he said, it is not character. You can produce character without the baptism with the Holy Ghost. What about the fact that man goes to the altar and he comes away? And he says to a Hindu, well, he says, you know, I'm so glad for Jesus Christ. Will you come again? He said, I'm so glad for Jesus. He said, what for? Well, he saved my soul. I

was a terrible drunkard. I was a terrible scavenger. I was a terrible criminal. I spent oh so many, many years being a profligate, wayward person. I was a terrible sinner. And he said, what happened? Well, Jesus saved me. The Holy Spirit saved me. God redeemed my life. I'm born again.

I'm holy again. I was 45. I've waited 45 years to get God. I've always had God. I've never drunk. I've never swore. I've never gambled. I've always been seen.

Where's your evidence now? You haven't got it.

Christian scientists, they don't even believe Jesus was a virgin born. He was a man like you and me. We can all be Christ. And yet, if you listen to them, change their lives completely. I am the very God to change their lives. You know why? Because repentance is a change of mind. And if I come to God as a miserable, broken down, no good, vulnerable sinner, and my mind will certainly change. to be an upstanding citizen. I will be an upstanding citizen regardless of Almighty God.

Are your proofs are gone? You have no proof that you're born again except you didn't do that. Charity? Where's charity? Look at the man that had the Holy Ghost broken the first person's days at 500 wide. Sure. Looking down there, he saw it eating cake in a van. Why didn't he go to one of these 500? No doubt they had to wait, you know, great lengths of time to have him as a husband. Oh, he couldn't bother. No. With 499 when he was waiting there, he couldn't bother. He had to have her. So he does, literally, because, of course, he couldn't deny the king.

Now he messes her up. So he begins shouting lies. He plays the hypocrite. And then he gets him kicked. And then he's the prophet's son. And he said, oh, King David, a terrible thing. He said, you know, a terrible thing. What was it? What was it? He's a talented priest. He said, you know, he said, there's a terrible thing to buy. A man, he said, oh, a rich man. He had hundreds of sheep. He had, oh, what a flock. He said, he was rich. And he had a friend come by. And his neighbor was one little lamb that he kept in his boobies. You know, David should have called on the gibbon. The lamb's in his big head. And he said, he fed the lamb and kept it warm in his boobies. And he loved that man. And he nourished that lamb. That lamb was everything he had. And he grew up into a lovely sheep. A beautiful sheep. You sheep. And he said, that year that wicked man did, he took that neighbor's little lamb and fed it to the man. He said, I'll kill you. That man deserves it. He was up there. Now he's showing real character. He's a girl, I mean. Now where's the character?

Let's go further. What about Elijah? Let's talk about love of

the Holy Ghost. Love is a criterion. Is it? Your idea? Or God? Let's talk about love as a criterion. That poor Elijah. Fifty men and a captain came by and said, Oh, thou man of God, come down. He said, If I'm a man of God, let the fire come down just like you guys.

Okay,

another fifty come by for the captain. And he said, Oh, thou man of God, come down. He said, If I be a man of God, let the fire come down. He said, If I be a man of God, let

the fire come down. He said, Oh, man of God, we know you're a man of God. Ain't

nobody trying to be big shot now. He comes right under that word. Now, here's the right, and we get the double force now. A bunch of little kids, little know -nothing kids. Now, the Bible doesn't go for little know -nothing kids. That's modern psychology. That's how it is. That's wrong. Little kids. Kids can talk, but not a beat. Now, you can't make kids do certain things. It's just a matter of trying to make them do things. There's got to be a proper understanding and be a clear understanding. Now, these little kids out there praying, they said, oh, you bald head, you look fine now. Then he said, some bigger kid mouthed off, a bunch of little gaffers began spawning and mouthing off teeth. And so he said, boy, you should just fix those kids and see if she bears mouth. He wrote about 46 of them. What

about Rapunzel Paul? He wrote the 13th chapter, 1 Corinthians, and he got in a fight with Barnabas over John Mark, and it says the contention was so hot, he said, they fought and parted. They were no longer friends. They were really wrong again. What

about when Paul said, over there, In one

place, I would die for my kinsmen according to prayer. Another place, he said, I would to God they were dead.

One was blind and one wasn't. One had to take, the other didn't. I don't care what the Pentecostals are doing. I don't care what the Methodists are doing. I don't care what the Baptists or the Catholics or anybody is doing. I don't have a thing for them. But I do care.

When I hear people who say, well, I know this message as well as anybody does in the instance of love with the evidence of the Holy Ghost.

I do have a chair. When Brother Brannon said, just show your token. But maybe you've been talking about something secret you can't show.

You read me loud and clear. You

think I'm wrong. Then fill your Bible with letters because Paul said, I wish they were crossed. I

don't care if they're a piece of game. That doesn't bother me. I've got no disciples to make. I've got no faith to take anybody. And if anybody tried to call me, it would be bloody murder. I'd expect it would be just pure murder, but I wouldn't call it. I'm interested in wanting to know if it's worth it. And that's all that I've got in the hope of you. Not that you love me or anybody loves me. That's immaterial. It doesn't mean one thing. But I've said it, I've got truth. And

as long as I've got truth, I will stick with this word of Almighty God. Because Brother Sister of Love is the evidence. Why did Brother Dan say it was not? And why did he say, let's compare that kind old priest to Jesus, that new man?

You see what it is. Yes, I see it.

Reduction, not race.

Is

it make any difference if I'm gonna kill a man? If I just slowly pull the trigger, or I suddenly pull the trigger, or I lock his head off with a sword, or I hit him with a club, death is death.

Poison is administered quickly, and it's always the same.

Quickly, or with a club, or with politics. I don't care if a bulldozer hits you, or you're sucked in by politics, or you're sucked in by the names of all of them. It makes no difference. You're sucked in by the names of

all of them. Now we don't want to hear the evidence on that. We don't want to hear the evidence. He said, am I right or am I wrong? Go ahead. Tell your brother Brandon to take it. He said, he's the man that said it. You think I would have believed this years ago? Why, we fought to a stance in a room this size and for it. West Palm Beach, Great Kentucky, where there was a Viking motel. He said, lead you to the roof. And Brother Brandon said it was love. And I said it was faith. He said, it can't be come to tussling. It can be taken. And I said, Brother Brandon, are you trying to tell me love cannot be taken? He said, I'm telling you it cannot be taken. Now, will you write to Brother Brandon?

What do you think is the highest form of love? Wouldn't it be to give yourself in vets and others again? As I go down, the Bible says that I give my body burns and have not love. But

it says right there you can take it because it'll look like it and it's not where you're not because you've gotten it. But in 1964, he mentions when Brother Bale and I had that talk, and he said it was tongue, and I said it was love, but he said the evidence understands.

This is what I've been speaking on all night. This is that evidence. My brethren, my sisters in the universe, as God is my judgment, I can say nothing more than what I honestly see by his messages, having sought some blessing right. If this is not it, if there is something other than a former rain and a latter rain falling on us, then I am remiss in it. I have been a liar. I have deceived you.

And I have made you my defense. And I'm not going to do it. You have become my defense.

Now you make up your mind.

said what the evidence is. I

have shown you from the beginning. Let's go to the first. Is it power?

Can it be power? He

had God in his hand. Didn't God place Moses in his own hand and said, Moses, I'm placing your hand. But he said, Moses, don't strike that rock the second time. Moses did. Power is not the evidence.

You could betray God. You could sin, and God said, Moses, for this you, for having glorified yourself, be... yourself before the people. That's what he said. You are not sanctified. That means you glorified yourself. That's what Brother Brann said in the end. He said, now you're going to die for it. What about Judas? What about the devil?

The Bible says he was anointed chair of the temple. What was he anointed for?

That's the question in the August of 54. Did Brother Brann and a person have to do so with the Holy Ghost and have a genuine gift or something like that and the devil could take and use that gift? No, he said, that's a very good thing.

I can't remember his exact answer.

My own opinion is this. that the devil can take anybody who's not born yet, but has the anointing on him, and use that very gift,

not pass. It is Christ in you, identified by your faith in the revealed Word. So

stay with the Word. For that is what we saw in 1 Corinthians, the second chapter, 15

and 16. But he that is spiritual judges all things. Now what's the thing? That it can be brought forth by the Word. Yet he himself is judged of no man. Now,

who does Paul withstand then? Those that were contrarian to the Word. He said often, and

persisted in saying often things.

Here is why Brother Brannan said, All we could do is to love each other and stick with this Word. But believe me, love is not crossing over or bypassing the errors. It is standing up for the Word. Now, if I'm wrong on that, then I'm wrong entirely. I misunderstood. I don't know why Brother Brannan bothers me. And why he preached the heart in some cases. Why those who got away from the sovereignty of God, as we taught in the first day's book, that it's a foreordained and decreed act of Almighty God, and he called his own people in that church, he said, you've got to be a cult. This is the last year I taught this. He said, you've developed into a cult because you've turned down the sovereignty of God. It's taught exactly word by word. You'll get it in Israel and Egypt. You haven't played the tape yet? You have the theory.

Why would he stand up for us?

Now, why did he say love? And don't let anybody come in. He said, don't let him come in. You

hear what he said? Let him come in.

And I said, doesn't say those coming into the parent body now, coming into the body of Christ because they talk too well. It says somebody come in. He said, get off your feet. I said, what you doing, kid? You don't plan up over it. Certainly not. You face it up. It's the spirit of Christ.

Those that have something, they can be taught. I do a lot of talking, but I can listen for hours. I might not be as good as I can, maybe. Hour after hour, otherwise I'd rather get in the midst of something else this time.

They don't come standing up here just saying, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me,

me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me.

For on one occasion he said, every vision fulfilled but the ten visions, and maybe that was fulfilled he didn't know. But putting that to one side, he's still in doubt. Could he come back? He will be back in the resurrection. There's no doubt about it. I don't believe a private resurrection like he's going to be like that because I don't believe that. I don't see that. If I can find some scripture, then I can take a strong stand. But I'm showing you these things where you can't put your finger down. One, two, three, black is black and white is white. Then you don't fuss because you can't make anybody wrong. He can't make you wrong. It's in your own heart to write before God, and the rapture will indicate who was right. See? That's what I'm talking about here now. That's why I said no man can judge you, and you can judge no man, but you yourself are judging all things. If I really got the Holy Ghost, if you really got the Holy Ghost, we will know exactly what's coming through, and we'll stand with that word.

Now there's a question of need, I say. Do the vision Brother Brannan has. Or something here or something there. As I say, you don't fuss about it. You don't argue about it. You just leave it. And that's where you just love each other.

You just love each other. Of course, when someone comes in and says, I've got three things. Brother Brannan would go around the world. He

said, you made a vow. And the only reason they can leave is over the ministry of the word that one or the other leaves because they

desire to go. and you can't hold it. Then the word says, speak, speak. You

find that Brother Graham is caught blocking. In the prophets, he knew from God what certain people can do. He

made his pronouncement, and he stayed with that 100%. Where the word is still not in full view, what does that 7th seal all about? Well, there's a dozen forces in the 7th seal. For instance, Revelation 10, 1 to 7, Brother Graham said this.

It's saying, come in Christ the 7th seal. That's what they say. You can come to one further because the word is in there.

We're now getting ready for the bull. It

actually comes down.

We'll be there. We'll be there at some point. We'll see off any bodies that they're going to do. Ours has got to wait their turn to come on down to into us. There

are certain things we can't care. This is where we have no right to have any commitment of this or whatsoever, nor should anybody at any time ever take such a strong stand as to influence people away from one to the other. No, sir. We get there with each other and love each other, but it's being done right today. don't you know something on some of these things we don't understand that's where we're having our basis on but when it comes to something the prophet said categorically one two three and then somebody says also then my brother and my sister don't tell me the brother that says just ignore it how can you why am i why am i giving this opportunity if i'm to do this then it'll raise my voice and the first thing i've got to find out what is that it's home for people well i don't agree so i'll just eliminate that i'll talk about it again but this man says well i don't see that's all i'm going to do what do you want me to do it wouldn't matter if you want

I gave everything in 1964 to follow this message. I mean, I gave it all. So there was a $45 fee that I was averaging. I gave it all. I have nothing but it. So I just said, brother Dan, come with me. Get you that gift. This might have been hard because I'm not the chief of staff or whatever, but God knows my heart. I gave everything. There's no problem with me. I'm one with this word the best I can. I know you are too. I don't minimize you when I say I am just because I made that particular move. And because I'm in a particular place, that doesn't make me one bit different to you. I've been given a job to listen and to speak. You've been given a job to believe, not to hear. If I'm off that word, you can right now.

Here you say, this is on faith. I'm not afraid. I won't need to take back one thing I said tonight. God is my judge. As far as I know, I have told you point by point by point that the prophet said, there is no certain heaven. And this is. that he had the Holy Ghost. In other words, there is no physical manifestation any more than there was in the first place. Do you believe that word, the Word of God? Are you told to stand

up and know that it's true, that I am your sister and I am your brother, but fall on your back, that this is the Word of God because you've been dedicated to God? And I'll not be turned one iota from it. I'll not be taken in by anyone. I

am concerned to leave my brother and my sister. He said about the man that found a treasure in the sea. Dirt isn't the night that means the worst. A fan will blow on your eye. Sometimes a thousand things get over it. The earth is just about as dirty as the things you eat. If there is a treasure in it, I don't mind you scrubbing it. I don't mind digging it, maybe. In other words, I'm telling you, pump and clean it. Maybe a lot of times, if you've got to reach for a tooth in the condition, it certainly looks like a pretty rough area. It's just that if you reach for that tooth, you've got it. There is. There's a manifestation. God said there's a manifestation in those that are God and those that aren't. There's a difference. We've got the Holy Ghost and those who aren't. We've got to go right back to the beginning. Because Cain was of the wicked one and Abel was of Adam who was of God. Now what was that difference? One stayed right with that word in that frame. They didn't say, well, it's okay if I go along here and I'm doing this thing. No. One doesn't cover up the other way. Get to that word. You follow me, man? Get to the word first. Hold to that word. Let everything else go by. Character. Yes, we should have character. When I stand up here, have I ever told any of you men to go find another woman, go and get married, even to leave your husband and run off and have something? Ever told you to cut your hair or nothing? No, I've never told you that. I've hammered character like anybody would hammer character. I've never told you to be unlovely or unkind. Never once have I told you people couldn't be real. Never once have I gone against the word of God. but i'm going to stick to what he said but if

you had all the rest of it and don't stay with this word you'll never be in the genealogy of anything you can't even see now he said look if you've got the holy ghost if you are of him you got all of those then you cannot there's

no fear there you know no problem and no man's going to fool you what's

all the fuss about you're

obligated to stand with this word sure god's going to say what he's going to say when do you ever fail The purpose of God stands in legend. But who ever said, who ever said, well, don't preach the gospel anymore?

But who ever said, we're not going to stop teaching, warning the church? Who ever said we weren't to look out? Who ever said we weren't to stand up for it? Didn't Brother Brown say, shame the wind?

Well, the Lord blames us a lot of times, but I'm sorry, that's my way of doing things. I try to cover it all. I trust it has been covered. You understand perfectly what I've been saying tonight, that this is the evidence. If you stand

out at the end of this service, then we can study your word together. Laying out, O God, the best we can, what the prophet taught. Knowing, Lord Jesus, that so many, many things that

ourselves and used to do must lay aside. And we think, Lord, that it would be so good to have so many things we used to have in a way that when we have all those things we have, where would that be? Now, we don't want to put anything aside, Lord, which was according to your word. We want to retain that. Every day. Help your people here, Lord. to be the healings of the body because we know that you said i'm the lord of unity also we know lord god may your people rely upon you to be led day by day when there's problems we know lord that you've never seen speaking to people i know lord that it's not according to how some people want it where they want someone to prophesy or to pray and get them a revelation i know lord that if we used to do that and we did have great success but i know lord that that's not what you want if you're able to speak to your people and to lead them into guidance. You're able, Lord God, to do everything that your word said that you would do and you will do it. And you'll do it, Lord, as the people will come within the same work of that word, Lord, and receive it by revelation as the prophet gave it to them. Oh, gracious Heavenly Father, help us to take a lesson as the prophet taught us in the world that people that make cigarettes, they've got to fill them. We call the thinking man, fill them. Lord, we've got a thinking mind, children. And that's the fear to bring the word to our mind as given by revelation. Oh, God. So simple. So simple. Your prophet said the people would know. Lord, I know your people here have heard your voice. Now, dear Jesus, help your people, I pray, to always stand up for that word and to never let it pass over as though anyone could just say what he or she wanted, and that would be all right. No, that was the word of God with unsullied hands, with unsullied minds, and put that word first. Such a departure, Lord, we have from the old past, the old failed teaching, denomination, or trapped, bigoted, independent, like, Lord, I was for so long. Independent, but independently wrong. Now, Lord, tonight we all want to be independent of the world and 100 % dependent upon you and knowing you, standing with this word 100 % and doing it, O God, with the revelation of the Spirit in our lives. Now, Lord, bless each one here tonight. We pray for each one, Lord, that's heard this word, haven't wanted to offend anybody, hope you have. No one's been offended, but hope you can edify, Lord, and build up to stand with it, O God. There's no moving. Where would they move, Lord?

Not toward anybody's table of vomit. No, sir. Lord, if I brought vomit to people, never let this people drink from my table for one minute. No, sir. Lord, what would I gain from them? What would they gain from me? What would I do with them or they with me? Lord, no, sir. For

such integrity, O Christ, we will stand with Peter, said, if any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God. Lord,

tonight, may that be in every heart, satisfied,

only. with that which is birth. Lord, grant it to me. Now, Father, give your people good rest. Know this holiday season, Lord, is no more holiday than working in a salt mine of severity. Just more education, more bills, and more running, and more everything, and more of the spirit of the world, O God, all around about us. May there be a true spirit of remembering that Christ was born, that under us a child was born, and that the Son was given. And that government is upon his shoulder. I mean, his name is Counselor. And the mighty God, he is wonderful. He's picked the peace everlasting far. And one day, Lord, pretty soon, he's going to be David sitting on that throne. Or maybe you realize that. But above all, maybe you realize today that he is the living word descended amongst us. Oh, Jesus. Jesus. Well, here once was that word that you put on your own flesh. It would be so flattering, Lord, if you would put on our place.

You, the Word, would indwell us. It

could be your courage,

our pure mind tonight. It might be there, but it shouldn't be. So that there'll not be one seed of the Word.

Lord, may it be so closed up, so fully impregnated by the revealed Word of Almighty God. The

cross that we've

put is marked. It sends us, Lord, from the island which we live, He says, and the streets and the billboards. Everything in life, Lord, is so full of that. Which is emotional.

God in the morning. That Lord is. All of that. Be clear. With this strength. Jesus. And everything we need. At this moment. Every moment of the day. We might walk. Circumstantially. Redeeming the time. Because. Abiding in the present truth. And Lord. Taking strength and comfort. Known. The simplicity. And then brought forward. The whole world. That the bride is going to be with you. Oh Jesus. Reduce us. To this.

God granted. That we. Believe him. As dear children. Our heavenly father. who has led us by vindication and with the truth. All

who trade in measure are each one a divine presence. Every man, woman, every child. May there be a new touch, a new inspiration by the wine of the revelation of the word of God by the Spirit coursing through each one to say, Oh, what I see! How I thank God! I'm more than that. Lord, I know that's the way it's got to be unless it's just in the preaching service and I can't believe it. I don't believe it's just in the preaching service, Lord. I believe what was said is the truth. I didn't change one word in your word, Lord, to mine own. If it was just exactly as you put it there, it went right back to the beginning. Trace it as the prophet said. Father, I'm standing. If I've said one thing, Lord, that's wrong. I haven't meant to. If you can show me, Lord, Amy, I'll come right back and trace it as carefully as I can. If

people, Lord, heard something wrong, maybe they couldn't get to the point of using it. And they've got it wrong. I say, Lord, it's good faith.

It's here. It's that faith. So just bring it right out. Bring it out. Father, we

wait upon you. Whatever exercise or service may come to you. Pray, O God, that it shall all be glory and grace and eternal welfare and good to these people here because they're yours. And we love them, Lord. And we've got faith in them, O God, that they're going to go all the way. In the name of Jesus, the Lord bless you. Amen.
