We greet you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And trust your resting in the blessing of the Lord.
And I trust there's no sick amongst us this morning.
That the work of grace has started in your body.
And it will manifest itself in perfect health.
For the scripture teaches us.
Ask and it shall be given you.
Seek and you shall find. Knock and it shall be opened.
For he that asketh receives.
And he that seeketh findeth. And to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
So we see that asking is receiving.
And seeking is finding. And knocking is opening the door.
Now this is what God said. God cannot lie.
And we are accountable to believe it.
God has not given us a choice.
Whereby we as brides can reject it or receive it.
The elect will receive it.
Before we go into the question and answer session shall we pray for one moment.
Gracious Heavenly Father guide our thoughts in our minds at this moment.
then may we be submissive to thy word which has been revealed to us.
And in our submission we pray we may know exactly what to submit to.
We ask these mercies in Jesus' name. Amen.
A
sister asked the question concerning sanctification.
Brother Branham said that our salvation was in three steps.
Justification, sanctification, the baptism with the Holy Ghost.
In justification, our sins are forgiven.
In sanctification, we begin to live a holy life.
Then we are born again when we receive the baptism with the Holy Ghost.
The question now comes concerning sanctification after we have been filled with the Holy Spirit.
This is quite simply answered.
If the Holy Spirit's ministry is to convict us of sin before we are born again, then when he comes in, he will certainly guide us away from sin.
We will be constantly checked by the Holy Spirit as to whether we are right or wrong.
This will not be a matter of our own conscience.
For the Holy Spirit is given to reveal the word to us and lead us into all truth.
So therefore he will lead us away from that which is wrong and lead us into that which is right.
But remember the Spirit of God does not compel you to do things.
He leads you.
Then it will be up to you if you follow or not.
So your sanctification will be by the work of the Holy Spirit
leading you into truth.
And if you will listen to him and not harden your heart nor be fearful to obey him
You will always do that which is right.
It will be as Brother Branham said I always do what I want to do and what I want to do is his will.
And that will is given to us by the teaching of the Holy Spirit
And it will never be against the word of God.
You can see that this will be a life of progress.
And you will be growing up into Christ.
You will never come to a state of perfection in your flesh.
Until the resurrection.
But you will keep growing up into him.
And you will be progressing in all the fruits of the spirit.
Watch the word as the spirit leads you.
And watch your life that you see you are obeying.
We are to go from face to face and from grace to grace looking into the word.
To see the perfect image there.
And then by the light within us. Become more and more like the image we see in the world.
This is not impossible. Let us strive to apprehend that for which we were apprehended. Let us strive to overtake that for which we were overtaken. See, or overcome in a way, you know what I mean, that is trying to, or become what God has already wanted us to become, whichever way you want to put it.
Did they get that? Did they allow them that?
The next
question is, the next question is, Will there be children born on the new earth?
I wonder if this question is stated correctly.
Certainly there will not be children born in the new Jerusalem.
Which will be upon the new earth.
But there is a question about the millennium.
In August of 1964 this question was asked of Brother Branham.
The question was will there be children born in the millennium?
He said that is a very good question.
When you look at it one way the answer is no.
When you look at it another way it seems as if there could be.
If I ever get the answer I will tell you.
You might wonder what he saw that led him to believe there might not be children born.
It is where the scripture states
One shall build and another shall not inhabit.
Can you hear it? Can you get it up? Good. Now, let's get this up here. We can hear it. If this mic can be brought closer. Can we bring this around here in front of us? Let's not take a chance. Let's bring it around here. Can this be brought around? Let's bring it around.
Scripture
in Isaiah says,
One shall build and another shall not inhabit.
One shall plant and another shall not eat the fruit thereof.
This shows that there could not be children.
But other scriptures say a child being 100 years old would die.
In June of 1964, in the city of Topeka, Kansas,
At about 12 .30 a .m.
I was discussing this very question with Brother Branham.
At that time his most firm opinion was that there would not be children born in the millennium.
And the scripture he used was what I just quoted to you.
But let us put it this way now.
Whether they are born or not born in the millennium.
Or in the new heavens and the new earth.
Has nothing to do with us at this time.
So we need not speculate or worry about it.
And just leave it rest. This is the advice that Brother Branham gave us.
Because God gave it to him. In the face of the trumpet.
Now
deal with the questions that are written in English.
Then come back to the others that are written in English.
But before I do so, I
have to ask a question.
One question is on a sheet of paper that has several scriptures written on the back.
And I am taking it for granted these do not constitute questions. Make questions.
I looked them over.
And I could talk on them. And preach a whole sermon on one of them.
If not several.
So I'm just going to set it aside.
Unless you tell me to do something about it.
So it's up to you whoever wrote it. We
have some questions on church order.
And before I begin answering them, I will make a little observation of my own.
It may be that you have not yet had those books translated into Norwegian.
And so therefore you will not know some of the things that Brother Branham said.
But if you will start with the dedication of the new tabernacle you will have a very excellent insight and know how to conduct yourself.
Every church service should be entered with great reverence and silence.
All should quietly take their seats and bow their heads in prayer.
or read the scripture to themselves, this will begin a proper atmosphere for the service.
The first question is, is the church order Brother Branham spoke of,
only to be carried out in the tabernacle as of Jeffersonville or for every congregation within the Messie.
First of all, there is no tape to my knowledge
That Brother Branham says.
This is only for his tabernacle.
And nobody else should follow it.
I am very well acquainted.
With what Brother Branham taught.
Before he even spoke of it.
In his own church.
What he told you on tape is exactly what he told me many years ago. And he said this was what the Scripture required.
He was so anxious to have a church in order.
That he was willing to leave Jeffersonville.
And move to Chicago.
If the Chicago people.
Who had dismissed Brother Boze.
Would ask me to be their pastor.
Then he would come up there.
And with me set the church in order as concerning gifts.
When I first met the prophet I had my own understanding of the gifts of the Spirit.
And you will find it was very close to the prophet.
Here is what I told him.
I would have a very early morning service in order to weed out the lazy ones.
We would come together
Sing and pray.
Dedicate ourselves to the Lord.
Take the Lord's supper.
Open ourselves for leadings of the Holy Spirit and see what came forth in the ministry of gifts.
which would then be judged in private after that service was over we would go to our regular public service and for a short period of time as the service progressed
we would let the people also minister in gifts which this time would be judged publicly.
Then we would continue our service as led by the Lord and go home. And he said, Brother Dale that is very fine.
But that is not how I am led of the Lord.
Or how I see the scripture teaches.
When you have the gifts apart in another service.
That is just fine.
but they must not come into the main service but what you do is this you judge the ministry and the message in the little room and if it is judged as from the Lord
You write it on a piece of paper and you bring it to the pulpit and the pastor reads it in the main service and that is how you do it.
The question now arises
Why did Brother Branham allow it in his own services?
Is it
right now? Why did Brother Branham allow it in his own services?
First of all, many tapes that you hear, first of all, many tapes that you hear,
We're not in his own tabernacle.
Secondly, the tapes you heard from his tabernacle, he was actually not in charge.
The preliminary service was in the hands of a song leader and the assistant pastor.
And when he would come to the platform, that is the time that you would hear messages in tongues or prophecy.
No one is criticizing the authenticity of the gift. No one is criticizing the correctness of the gift as to whether they were genuine.
What it is, is the placing of the gift.
On some tapes you would hear tongues and interpretation. during the altar call.
This would ruin the whole message and the altar call.
Now please listen carefully. Brother Branham was a God -led prophet.
He understood something that you and I really know nothing of.
Except in a very limited way.
I am talking about timing.
Certain things can only be done at a certain time.
And he told brother Neville, let us do nothing about it till the certain time.
Then when it is time to correct the method in which the gifts are used, we will then see if it is a bastard child or not.
When he ordered the correction in the church.
The people would not do as he said.
They went to another church.
And you can tell therefore something is wrong.
Now listen to me. Whether this church order was only for his tabernacle or not I want you to know where I personally take my stand.
I say a bastard child in William Branham's church is a bastard child in anybody's church.
Get your Bibles. Get your tapes. Stand here beside me and prove me wrong.
I am not hard in me.
But I'm fighting for my life.
If I add one word,
it's the tribulation.
It's time to be serious, my brother and my sister.
How many words did Eve say?
Every plague for 6 ,000 years is here for one word.
Are we here to laugh this morning in a joke?
Are we here to hear what other names say?
Or are we here to hear what the prophet said?
If you care to ask the word, just wait a while. You may ask me a question now, right in the bar.
You were. Ask me.
I
get you. How is the condition?
Yes.
How do you mean, what's the condition? Is it good? I'm glad you answered the question. No. No, it's okay. But, my brother, I will answer you personally. You were not listening last night when I brought the very point up. Do you want to have a wrong anointing and be in the wrong field, or would you sooner have a ministry wrong, destroyed so you might be right? Now, let us go on again. Our brother asked the question.
He said he was in the tabernacle for three years.
He said, look at the condition of the tabernacle now since Brother Branham is gone.
I believe he means by this that the tabernacle could be buried dead according to what he believes.
Yes. You got to bring it to me, brother, because you're talking to me. Okay.
Fine.
Yes.
I don't need it.
I know what you're saying. Just to talk to you in Norwegian.
Thank you. I get it. Let me answer your question. I will now say this. My brother, you are telling these people here that the gift of the Spirit made Brother Brannon's ministry. That is the most diabolical thing I have heard in my life. No, you have said it, brother. You said that under Brother Brannan, we had a great and beautiful ministry. And Brother Brannan put the gifts in order. And when Brother Brannan went and the gifts in order, then there was nothing from the Word. You were telling me that the gifts of the Spirit made Brother Brannan. And this is wrong because Brother Brannan constantly complained to me with tears concerning the situation. Now, how are we going to get this across to the people?
Yeah.
Yes, I do. He brought the question up, and so I answered the question, because this is important, for the brother of man, in the unveiling of the mighty God, put church orders under the seven seals, which is the revelation. And this is what we have in America, right today, the same thing. And he is telling me that there can be no liberty apart from the gift, and I do not accept authority, because he is not talking from experience and reality, he is only quoting what he has heard. .
. . . .
Let
us continue.
Brother Brian, he said that he had a message for the Brian under the unveiling of the mighty God.
He stated that church order
was one of the things that God wanted him to bring.
I am not against gifts.
I stated last night and I state again.
Put those gifts in the room where Brother Branham said.
Because if he wanted it, it was for a purpose.
And I would sooner follow that than anything under heaven.
Then judgment comes forth.
And bring it to the pulpit.
Now this is what the prophet said.
And there is no room for argument.
I explained carefully last night.
And perhaps the interpreter did not speak loud enough.
But I brought the very illustrations the prophet gave you.
And showed you how it ties in with the spirit of the age.
Which is brotherly kindness.
The gifts are not a matter of argument.
of whether they are here or there at this moment it is now a matter of the spirit that we are abiding in. Gift can be used. I believe they are amongst us.
The prophet absolutely said as long as the true bride is on this earth there will be a true gift of tongues.
Then according to scripture if there is a true gift of tongues and we are commanded to interpret
There is a true gift of interpretation.
Tongues and interpretation make prophecy.
But remember what prophecy is. Are you ready for it? Now let us not fool.
I am not here to fool in this word.
If you talk to me, talk with the prophet.
Under no condition is prophecy such as this. My little children, hear the word of the Lord. The Lord is coming. Do not fuss among yourselves.
Do not fight among yourselves.
Love each other. Hear my prophet.
That's not prophecy.
Show me one time on any tape.
And I've got the tape. Where there was one prophet.
of showing the future because Brother Branham said it must be predicted Sister Brown Sister Brown your house is by the railway track the train will be derailed tonight
Leave your home. Or you'll be destroyed.
He also said. Names would be named. Names would be named in the congregation.
And the very conditions revealed.
This is what those gifts come to.
So I am not arguing about gifts.
I am talking concerning the use of those gifts.
We want them. But they must be according to the word.
And the prophet revealed it.
Let me tell you something. I have laid down my own spiritual experiences.
And I can bring you hundreds of witnesses if necessary.
That I have stood before the people in a assembly like this.
And I have prophesied. One prophecy alone in West Palm Beach, Florida.
I stood up and boldly declared. I said Churchill is going to get sick.
Churchill. Winston Churchill.
And I declared what would happen.
Within 48 hours he was sick.
And everything I said occurred exactly as I said it.
I knew what was going to happen in Morocco. I knew what would happen in Morocco.
I said a communist -inspired talk would take place.
Within 24 hours it happened.
But it took weeks for the people to know it was communist inspired. They were genuine prophecy.
But I was wrong.
That was not my ministry.
I should have been back there with the people.
It should have been checked up.
Now understand this, my brethren. Must it be here to inspire you?
Certainly not. Put it where he said.
How can you go wrong?
What do you think it took out of me when I laid down the gifts that I had?
I could discern.
I could discern.
I did it publicly.
The prophet took me aside.
And he said, Lee, you have some real discernment.
But don't do it. So I don't do it. He told me you're no pastor.
So I don't pastor. He told me how to go on the road.
And what I should do. And I've done it. Now I have no argument with anybody.
But you know what the prophet said.
Then do it. Then see if the light will come forward.
My brother and my sister don't let us not use our own thinking.
I told you I would.
And we will have a smaller meeting here.
And he said no.
Now listen to me.
What man will tell any church how to run its affairs?
The pastor.
Brother Branham said the pastor was the supreme authority in the church.
Now let me say to any pastor here.
Put the gifts on the floor if you so desire.
I won't stop you.
I won't come and criticize you.
I'll do nothing to harm you. If this is how you see it. And how you want it. That's fine by me. But I know and you know what the prophet said on the tape.
Now I want to come to one very important point here.
Which would have covered what our brother asked this afternoon, this morning.
And I would have preached it in a sermon.
Now listen very, very carefully.
I am very serious now.
I am not refuting anybody.
Refuting or coming against anybody.
Because this is too serious.
I am going to read in 1 John chapter 4.
And this is not against anybody. Or, 1 John 4.
And this is not against anybody. This is what I preach. Apart from talking about gifts.
It is simply what the prophet said.
And you can see it right here.
Beloved, believe not every spirit.
But try the spirits, whether they are of God.
Because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Now notice what it says.
Don't take your own thoughts.
Just look at the plain word of God.
He said, don't you believe every spirit.
But try the spirit. And make sure that the spirit is of God.
Then he tells the reason these false spirits are there and why they must be tried.
Because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
What is a false prophet?
According to the prophet,
he is a man who is correctly anointed to the gift and the power, but incorrectly anointed to the word.
How many people heard the prophet Satan on a tape?
We have our witnesses.
You understand now?
A spirit. Freedom.
Light.
Vitality.
And yet super. The joy. It can all be there.
But what?
Miracles can be there. Proper prophecy can be there.
But what?
False prophets.
A prophet brings the word.
A real prophet brings the real word.
A false prophet brings the wrong word.
Did Brother Branham say it?
Does the word say it? Then listen. You are not listening to Lee Vale.
If anybody wants to make this personal concerning me, there is a door. I go through it.
Some of you feel I've got a fight to fight.
You are 100 % wrong.
I am not worried about personality.
I don't have a church.
I will not be in your churches.
You can do what you want.
And I can do what I want. But the word will judge me.
Now let us go further.
Hereby know you the Spirit of God.
Now how are we going to know? He tells us how we're going to know.
Every spirit that confesses Jesus Christ is coming to the pleasures of God.
But that's it. Every spirit that confesses Jesus Christ is coming to the pleasures of God.
That sounds very interesting.
So you know what some people do?
When they're sure somebody's full of evil spirits?
They say that the devil's inside the person.
Did Jesus Christ come in the flesh? Did Jesus
Christ come in the flesh? Not is he come, but did Jesus Christ come in the flesh?
Meaning that Jesus, the Messiah, came by the Virgin Mary in flesh.
And the devil is very clever.
He plays right along with their ignorance.
And he will say no. Then everybody reads this scripture wrong.
For it does not say, did he come in the place past him?
But, is he come now in the present tense in the place?
And who did Brother Branham say that was?
In our day, the seventh,
Now hereby know we the Spirit of God.
Hereby know we the Spirit of God. Hereby. Read right here in the Scripture. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God. Verse 2. This is how we know the Spirit of God.
The spirit in the person will confess to Christ in the messenger.
And Christ is the word.
And every spirit that denies it is against Christ.
And a better translation still.
Is not that anti means against. Is not that anti means against.
But it means instead of. So something is substituted.
For the word of God.
Then he says it's all written in the world.
And he said that's all right. You are of God.
And you've overcome all this.
Because greater is he that's in you than in them.
They are of the world. Now what are they going to do?
That's the question. They've got an earmark. They've got somebody to tell them.
How are we going to tell them? It says right here. Therefore speak they of the world and the world hears them.
Now notice what John says.
He is repeating exactly what Jesus says.
How brazen can you get? How bold can you be?
Here is John. He is an apostle. But he is not Jesus.
Jesus says. But he dares to say what Jesus said. He says, we are of God.
And he that knows God hears me.
How would you like to have somebody stand up here like that?
Wouldn't the church world kill him?
dream out.
How they would hate him. But John stood right there.
And he said, let me tell you something. Christ the word is come in my flesh.
I am God with the
You hear me, you hear God.
You don't hear me, you don't hear God.
I know we the spirit of truth and of error.
Now they're listening to me, brothers and sisters.
If you have not caught it, catch it now. You have not tried your spirit. I agree.
It is.
If you try the spirit by the word.
Read it. Read it here.
I don't argue. Because people think I'm a fighter. I'm fighting for my life.
One word, please. One word off death.
The seventh church's message.
According to Acts 3.
Had the combined ministry.
In the Holy Ghost. Who is one spirit. Moses. Jesus. Elijah. Samuel. Read it to yourself. Read it to yourself. Acts 3 19 -26.
And in Acts 3 .19 it says he would appear amongst us.
And Christ did. And Christ did. We showed you that last night.
Now then we try the spirit by the word according to John.
All right, now listen. Listen to me. Go back to the anointed ones of the end times.
July 25, 1965.
And Brother Branham told us. They are anointed by the Holy Ghost. They are correctly anointed by the Spirit.
The signs and wonders are genuine.
Absolutely of God. But give them the word yes. And they fail. Now listen again.
I am not saying this personally.
Because you can be in ignorance the way I was in ignorance.
I was doing wrong things.
I was taught wrong. I believed the evidence of the Holy Ghost was speaking in tongues.
I was wrong. But the split tension, the prophet said what the true evidence was.
My heart screamed out rejoicing and I said that's it.
When the prophet said how to put the church in order and said we would do it together.
I went to Chicago. But they didn't want me. And I didn't want a pastor anyway.
But Brother Branham wanted the church to be an example.
And for him I would have done it.
Anything he said was fine by me.
And as a child follows a father.
His father raises his foot way up in the air.
I want to raise my foot in the air too.
I want to follow him. I'm doing a pretty poor job.
I'm very embarrassed about what my attempts are. I'm embarrassed about my attempts. I try. I'm not what I want to be. But I want to be like him.
And he told us when the false apostles came when the false apostles came in the Ephesian age
The people said, your fault.
Because you don't say what Paul says.
And no doubt there were some good men amongst them.
And they would say, what did Paul say?
And when they were told what Paul said,
they would say, oh, I'm glad to hear that.
That's the way it should be.
There were some disciples down in Ephesus one time.
They knew the baptism of John.
And Paul went down there. And he knew something was missing. And he said, something's missing here.
And they said, oh my, what is it? Tell us, please.
And when Paul told them, they said, isn't that wonderful?
And that's how we're going to do it.
This is what my attitude is.
But don't ask me to back away from it.
I'm going to do my best to say exactly what he says.
And my brother and my sister are listening.
If I have to leave the ministry, be covered.
Thank you. You'll be right. I'll do it. My life is dependent on you.
Second question. On this sheet of paper. Does the coming of the perfect word does the coming of the perfect word put aside the spiritual gift? Yes, put aside the spiritual gift. I'll try to read it to you because it's a little difficult. Does the coming of the perfect word make void the spiritual gifts.
Does the prophet say in the perfect word that every local church has nine spiritual gifts? Do all local churches have nine spiritual gifts? To answer the first part,
There is a statement that Brother Branham made.
But be very careful how you use that statement.
Because here is how he put it to the best of my knowledge.
He was hopeful that there would be such a spiritual wave amongst the people.
Such great love and understanding.
Such a forgiving spirit.
And such a lifting up of each other.
That's the gift of the Spirit. Could be put on the shelf as it were. Could be as it were put on the shelf. Put it one side.
Put it side like on the shelf. Put it in storage.
And the word of God move amongst us.
So just everywhere the gracious things of God will be done.
So the answer is simple.
Those gifts will be in operation.
And it will come like the day of Pentecost.
When they were prophesying and speaking in tongues.
And the people heard it.
Peter never said these are gifts.
He said this is the word of God spoken by Joel. He's coming to pass right now.
Now what if you and I called it a gift? What if you and I call it a gift? It's exactly the same thing. I can have two names for my hands. Sometimes in America we call it a paw. Like the bears got a paw? No. What if I wanted to shake hands?
And I said, give me your paw.
Or give me your hand.
So I see the same thing here.
It will be a higher order.
In the perfect way. As Brother Branham said. You will have the word. You will be one with the word. And you will make a move.
Even though you've got the word.
And you're one.
But don't try to put away spiritual manifestation.
Don't try to put away the power of God.
I cannot find. where Brother Bran said, they're all gone.
And you just sit around and don't expect God to move.
And if something does move, it's not a God. He never said that. We do what he told us to do. Do not blaspheme the Holy Ghost.
Ministries are of the Spirit of God.
They are not of the devil. But be careful also.
Do not blaspheme the Word. Do not blaspheme the Word. Because Paul said a man did that. Paul said that people could do it. Stand by the word. Have the grace among you.
Worship the Lord in spirit and in truth.
Enjoy your freedom. Nothing will bind you. And what the prophet said will not bind you.
I blame the whole thing on. To a misunderstanding.
And. That the.
Morning right today if I had a hat. To do what Brother Branham said he would do.
Go right in with the people in that room.
Open my heart to God. Make sure to clear from all sin and indifference.
Look with love upon my brothers and sisters. And then scream in my heart to God.
God, I'm here for one reason.
help my brothers and sisters. And it's got to be in a supernatural way.
It's got to be through gifts of the Spirit.
Lord, what will I do unless something comes forth?
And I wait and believe on Him.
Then it's got to come.
I challenge every pastor in here to do it.
And every man and woman to seek God to see what God will do.
Let us not live below our privileges or use some difference to split.
Let us have what the word said that the prophet said for us.
Will all nine gifts be in one church?
I cannot answer that question as to what the prophet said.
I can go only by one statement.
He said you may prophesy once and never again.
On that condition.
It could be in the lifetime of that church.
That every gift could be manifested sometime or other.
But I don't know. I am just drawing a conclusion.
Showing it might be possible.
But I don't know a quote at this time.
If anybody knows one, I'll be glad to hear it.
But
did he say in manifestation?
Yeah. See, there is, as our brother said, Brother Branham said, every local church has nine spiritual gifts.
But I do not know from what he said in other places,
that this would be continuous so that you could depend upon it.
But then according to the prophet at one time or other as the people believe God then they most certainly should be manifested.
Then set your sights higher than ever.
I'm sorry we've finished as far as we've got.
And if we have time we could possibly finish some more.
But do not feel bad.
Because you have a difference here amongst yourselves.
We have the same thing all over the world as far as I know.
And we are still brothers.
And we are still sisters.
And we can disagree without being disagreeable.
And we can still sing the little song.
Thank God I'm one of them.
And it doesn't matter which one you are.
As long as you believe the prophet.
Because God will show you right if there is any error. For Paul said we'd be led so. So do not worry.
Go as you feel led according to this word.
You take your stand. I take mine. I'll not try to convince you.
You'd have an awful job trying to convince me.
But we can walk in peace together.
We're still eating cherry pie.
Don't throw the pie out.
Because you find one seed.
Neither do I put any brother and sister out.
Because I never brought them in. But we disagree.
That's okay. That will sharpen you up.
And if you've got a right spirit, that means a right air about you.
Then God will instruct us right.
So the Lord bless you. When I say this, I say it from my heart. I love you. And I wouldn't see one of you hurt. And if I can help you, I will.
But I expect you to stand with the word you believe.
Just as hard as you can. And I'll do the same thing. But we won't make a great issue of it.
We will state the cases we see in.
Dear Lord
Jesus Christ.
There was contention between Paul and Peter.
And between Paul and Barnabas. History is full of it.
And we know that this can happen.
And it has happened. And it will happen. So let us have the right spirit as it does happen.
Not trying to persuade men.
Not trying to persuade God.
But hopefully. Standing with God. In our full persuasion. As we advance in the kingdom.
For that honor and glory. And for our own preservation.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
