signs in

this hour lord we know also by the same evidence that you manifested in the physical you are here amongst us that you did come down to lead us this hour into the great millennium the days which are beyond father we just pray that we might really appreciate your honor and glory help us lord as we study this morning the things we're praying about lord to not just deeply impress them upon our minds though we need to have that but to be a part of our very lives right down in our souls from that soul the life of this

We're

still into the message of Brother Branham delivering back in 63 on Christ as a mystery of God revealed.

Of course, we understand by using his sermons, we are pretty well falling in line with what everybody else has done through the ages. The time of Luther, they took what Luther said pretty well verbatim, and they taught from it, the same with Wesley, and Pentecost went through the same. Well, we're a departure, of course, in that we believe that God sent a prophet in the last hour. as the book of Hebrews tells us, that God will speak once more from heaven. And also, from the book of Revelation, where the thunders which John saw upon earth had to be revealed. And of course, there's no Bible student that understands that someone has to do that. And of course, many people would love to feel that they had done it, even Dowie back in his day felt that he was Elijah, which was to come. But in spite of all the various men who came and are gone, And we're not Elijah. There has to be one. And we believe, of course, that we understand who that man was. And, of course, that's up for argument. Many people will not see that. And you'll understand more of that as we go into this portion of the message that Brother Brandon preached on Christ as a mystery of God revealed. Now, from the title of this message alone, that is, Christ as a mystery of God revealed, it is evident that the Messiah, which is Christ, came to fully reveal God to us so that God would be made known to us and His great purpose or purposes fulfilled for us and in us. Now that's exactly true. Because He did not come just to manifest God. Nature can manifest God. What does it tell you? What does it do for you? Well, it does a lot. It tells a lot. But it doesn't get the real revelation of God because the trouble with nature, as I've said so many times, nature can be wonderfully beautiful and wonderfully cruel. I think I told you, I couldn't have been drowned, but it was somebody else back, an English poet, who used to love to go out on the lake. It was simply beautiful, it was marvelous. He wrote a poem of this very beautiful lake, of how lovely it was. But one day a friend of his, out boating, a storm came up suddenly and the man was drowned. And he wrote a very foreboding poem concerning that lake. So you can't tell from nature. The God that sent beautiful sunshine and almost perfect weather, say, around Vancouver Island, British Columbia, sent a hurricane down here, you know, the west coast, east coast, rather, and wiped us pretty well all out. And you say, well, who does that? Well, God is behind nature, creating it. Remember, there are forces of evil. The devil takes the things of God, and he perverts them, he uses them wrong. And man takes the things of God, and he uses them wrong. So you cannot simply tell God by nature, nor can you tell God by his purposes, I mean tell God about his purposes, without some definitive revelation by God himself. So when we say the title of this message is evident that Messiah or the Christ came to fully reveal God to us, true, he that has seen me has seen the Father. so that God would be made known to us. Have you known me so long and I'm not knowing the Father? And his great purpose or purposes, why did he come? Why did he do it? Fulfilled for us and then in us. Are you following? All right. Now before Christ came in the flesh and by his blood redeemed us, every type of shadow pointed to him and he doing what, you know, every shadow pointed. He fulfilling every word concerning himself that was in the type and shadow. Now the Holy Scripture given by the Spirit of God as this spirit indwelt the prophets spoke and wrote of Jesus the Christ. So you got an Old Testament here that's full of types and shadows and full of tremendous amount of material all pointing to Jesus Christ. So let's just read a little bit about that in Hebrews, the first chapter, to get our understanding perfectly lined up. God, who in many parts and in many manners, in many parts, in many ways, many manners, spoke in time past unto the fathers in the prophets. So you can see here that God was all the time speaking in the prophets up until the time of Jesus Christ when God himself became the great prophet. by procuring for himself a body through the Virgin Mary, in whom this God dwelt, hath in these last days spoken unto us, not by his Son, but in Son, that's in the office of Sonship, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the world. In other words, he became a son through this form of a mask or the costume for the drama.

He manifested himself very, very perfectly. Now, we go to 1 Peter to get the other understanding. And the first chapter, verses 10 to 12, and it says, Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you. Now, it tells you God was in the prophets prophesying. Now, it tells you these prophets themselves many times did not understand what was going on through them. Searching water what manner of time the Spirit of Christ, which was in them, did signify when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glory that should follow. Now the Psalms are full of it, and so is Isaiah and other books, Zechariah, almost every single book starting with Genesis. As a type or a shadow or a distinct statement concerning Christ and his redemptor work through suffering upon Calvary and rising in a resurrection. and standing at the right hand of the majesty on higher city in order to be a mediator and intercessor so you can see here that the spirit of god witnessed uh positively in the prophets what was going to be then god himself came and fulfilled it which explained or interpreted what the prophets wrote and made it made it available to us Now this great advent of God, we're talking about 2 ,000 years ago, dwelling amongst men in the form of a man, that's God dwelling amongst men in the form of a man, so that he could bring to pass his great purposes, did not end the fulfillment of his eternal purposes at that time only, but opened a further door to even greater revelation and greater fulfillment. Now you see, here again we're looking at something that most people cannot look at. And that is they cannot believe that there is a true unfolding, continuing, and greater revelation. They simply feel that, well, what we know and what we feel we have known back there is fine. But, you know, if they'd only look at history, they would find absolutely that the church went into a decline. And as Brother Branham said, it literally went into the graveyard of theology and the world also. through the dark ages of the Roman Catholic Church. But under Luther, it began to come back. And then it began to come back even more under Wesley and even more under Pentecost. Now, many people argued against Pentecost, but their argument had been fallacious because they're all accepting Pentecostals. How can you put down the most virile, vital group in the whole world? You can't do it. And the churches have been inundated from their hierarchy down in the speaking of tongues and the gifts of the Holy Ghost. until you know neopentecost as yourself, which are Roman Catholic, which are gifts the Pope's ring, say a prayer to the Virgin Mary, and speak in tongues genuine gifts, and raise the sick as Father O 'Connor did up there in Notre Dame, and his cohort with him, when two young men were stricken down by a car on the campus grounds, one was killed, the other's legs were broken, they there mangled, they laid hands on and prayed, and the boy, like my elbow here, let's say he's lying like this, prone, and suddenly, with his... as the heels of the fulcrum with no knee bending and no help rose up straight as a die and walked off the other boy rose up from the dead and still will claim the pope headship speak to the virgin mary claim intercessory power of the saints with your entirety idolatry not realizing that judas himself was anointed by god to raise the dead by a genuine gift and he himself was the devil of that strange theology i'm sorry for you just don't know your battles but at the time you did

and realize what you came out of. All right, so there is an unfolding revelation, which we're going to read here, and we'll take you to it and show you. Because believe me, I'm not fooling. See, we can take everything by Scripture and show you. All right, there's the great appointment. Now, bear this in mind to see this point. The first half of the first resurrection is over. What I'm saying is this. The Old Testament saints have had their resurrection. Abel, right on down.

Okay, and John the Baptist would be included in that. All right. They've had it. They have resurrected bodies, but they are not back on earth in the millennium. They have reaped from his coming what was theirs, and they'll be placed there. See? So from Pentecost on, there has been an increasing revelation to this very hour and in this very hour. And that's true. The revelation became greater at Pentecost. Though it faded, went down, it's got to come back. Because I will restore, set the Lord. And restoration is guaranteed in Acts, the third chapter. you can't get away with it now we look back to the days of his flesh as the old testament looked forward to it in other words it able to see what god had procured for us and from that point get the unfolding revelation that was set forth you see because look at let's face it there's got to be revelation in this hour because we believe we're approaching the hour of the resurrection because this was back in our homeland all right The purpose of God is still being fulfilled. That

portion was fulfilled back there to that day. And when Jesus rose, he brought him out of the ground with him. But there's another half of the first resurrection coming up. And besides that, there's immortality to be gained by a few people who won't die, which is unheard of. Never happened in history. John says so, but it's about to happen. And today we expect to see the purpose of God finalized, our redemption, when that spirit... that is amongst us, is made incarnate to us, and we crown him King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Now, in the last portion of the message, we saw Brother Branham dealing with the revelation of Jesus Christ on the basis of predestination, that only the predestinated seed will receive a predestinated revelation. Now, that's hate. That's hate.

And it went to seed. People carried it too far. They became antinomianists, which means you don't need a means of salvation. You're like a hard -shelled Baptist, and I've got nothing against you. You're a great people. But they say we have a hole. If you're going to be right, if you're going to be a part of the kingdom, a part of the planning, you are going to get there regardless of anything you do or have to do. Now, that's true, but it's not all the way true. You

must accept the means, and there must be the definitive rebirth. You must be born again.

Predestination does not obviate the rebirth. It embraces the rebirth.

well that's what it's all about being placed there all right now we're going to go to page 50 and i read paragraph 2 concerning what i just said that brother brano said concerning this revelation that we are looking at tremendous revelation he said you cannot receive it unless you're predestinated to receive it now that makes a lot of sense because going through the ages god was building a church from the foundation to the top they had to be predestinated to those levels that's just logical Because God is using the human instrumentality of being born into the kingdom. This pyramid that makes his church, that makes his body, his bride, the Lord Jesus Christ. Now, speaking of this predestination, that's the only way you'll know him today, by revelation. The only way you'll get the threefold revelation of God is for the Holy Ghost. And he stops there. And he could have said it's for the Holy Ghost to give it in. Or he could just tell you the truth. Because he could say which is the truth. God gives it to me and I give it to you. You know, I know people don't like that. I don't much care what people like. Let's go to Scripture. I like the Scripture. Because this is the whole thought we have in mind. The 13th chapter of the book of Acts. Now, looking way down the road. He said this at Pentecost. He says it now. That's right after Pentecost. Paul in about 1945. In 1845. Now, verse 39 concerning Jesus. And by him all the believer justified from all things from which he could not be justified by the law of Moses. Beware, therefore, lest that come upon you which is spoken of in the prophets. Now, beware, it comes upon you. It doesn't say it has come upon you. It's a future tense. This will apply to us, too. Behold, you despisers, and wander and perish. They turned down Christ. For I work a work in your days, a work which you shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you. Now, what man can declare anything from God? It's got to be a prophet. If

there's a prophet that comes on the scene, you better watch it. Now, Gentiles don't believe in prophets.

That's why the majority of 5 billion Gentiles are going to die. They'll

burn upon earth like chaff. It's double. And there's no way out. They don't believe it.

Matthew 23, 34. Behold, I send unto you prophets and wise men and scribes.

Well, he doesn't do it anymore. Who says he doesn't do it anymore?

I'd like one person to answer my challenge. Show me one place in the Bible where God says I will not have a Gentile prophet. And

I can show you you're not even a Gentile. You're too dumb to be a Gentile even. The Jews wouldn't take you. I don't know where you stand.

It's too pitiful. Where are you going to put Enoch? He was a prophet. Where are you going to put Noah? He was a prophet.

Jew and Gentile, that's all you know. He's a human race. He

made a one in Christ, having broken down the middle wall of partition by death and resurrection. Jew and Gentile. Some

man says you can't have a Gentile prophet. What's he talking about? You

can have Gentile false prophets. You can have a Gentile true prophet. Boy, there's no such thing as a false prophet.

There's something wrong with men's reasoning. They're blackened. But you see, they can't take it because they're not predestinated. God giving a threefold revelation. And the only way they can ever be, that's to you, is that you're predestinated to see it. Now that's both the prophet and the people. We'll

see that too. If he doesn't, you'll never see it. If you're not predestinated to see it, you'll never see it because that light can flash and you'll go away and make fun of it and explain it away by some intellectual conception when the very God himself is manifesting himself and proving it. Now right today, the Gentile world is fundamentally in an appearing. And they call the appearing... The rapture, that's when he appears. That's a lie. Now, let's get that flat -eyed Bible for it. I'm teaching over and over because, let's face it, repetition never hurts you. It does you good because until you know repetition and understand you can't get on fire. Unless you've got fuel, you cannot get on fire. I said, unless you've got fuel, you can't get on fire. And the fuel is the word of God dynamized by the Holy Ghost. You got thrown, it'll ping, ping, ping. You haven't got the word dynamics.

There's a difference. John says here, 1 John 3 and 2, Beloved, now are we the sons of God. And it hath not ever yet come into existence what we shall be, but we know that when he shall appear, and that word appear means to manifest himself undeniably that that is the Christ. You may go a little further by what undeniable is. In his true character, when he'll do that, we should be like him because we're going to see him as he is. In other words, you've got to see him first by revelation to get your change. Then you go up and see him. But everybody says we're going to get our change. Then we're going to see him. I've got news for you. John does not say that. It says when he shall appear, that means to be made visible, completely manifest in his true character. That's the time you're going to be like him. When Christ, who is our light, shall appear, then shall we appear with him in glory. And the word then does not mean subsequent. It means contention with. How

do you know he appeared?

Matthew 12. I

sell a hard case up here. I know I do.

My voice and my answer won't convince anybody.

You're not meant to see it. You won't see it. But I'll tell you one thing. I'll meet you in judgment day. Not that I want to do that for one minute. I'm not interested. I have no ax to grind.

But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from fence and great multitudes followed him and he healed them all and charged them that he should not make him known that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet saying, Behold my servant whom I have chosen. Isaiah said more than one thing. He said they're going to turn him down flat. They'll be blind and they can't even see. So better remember when you're reading this. Isaiah didn't just say this. Behold my servant whom I have chosen. My beloved in whom my soul is well pleased. I put my spirit upon him. He didn't just say that. He said they're going to be blind. That they can't see. And they're going to kill the flesh. The very God in human flesh that they worship. So put that in there.

You saw my head up here. That's just part of me. If

I just had suspended. I'll

take it down here. Make a joke of it. That's a form of a bust.

all the way to the ground. Why

just look at this one part here when there's other parts? Look

at the whole picture. He

shall show judgment to the Gentiles. When did he do it?

He never went and did it. He

shall not strive nor cry. Strive nor cry. Did he do that back in Israel? He sure did. Raise his voice in the street? He sure did. Did he break the brews reed? He sure did. Did he quench the smoking flax? He sure did. But he doesn't do this to the Gentiles. Show me when the Gentiles had a rod to stand on.

for two thousand years and now the rod is broken and the smoking flack showing the the oil is all but gone and the scripture said don't you dare touch that oil in that wine that little bit that's left so he's got to come to the gentiles and do this how is he going to do it if he doesn't raise his voice nor strive how is he going to do it he's got to do it by the holy ghost in somebody else to the gentiles But people turn this down. Oh, that was back. Listen, that was not back.

Jesus Christ is saying yesterday and today and forever and for a certain hour. That's exactly what it is. What do you want with it? You tell me the answer.

All these verses. 1

-17.

Pathesize when it comes to Revelation 10 -1 -7.

Luke 17 -30. The

word's never been restored.

He's a tired old man. He's younger than I am. Let's

keep reading. If you're not predestinated to see it, you'll never see it because that light will flash and go away and you'll make fun of it. And explain it away by some intellectual conception when the very God himself is manifesting himself and proving it. Let's go to John 8. Very

interesting. John 8, 38 and 43. I speak that which I have seen with my father and you do that which you've seen with your father. A complete disclaimer of ownership. Jesus said, God is my father. In a way, he's nobody else's father. And your father is the devil. Why

do you not? understand my speech even because you cannot hear my word you are of your father the devil and the pleasures of your father you'll do he was a murder of the beginning you

show me any one time the devil murdered anybody the

beginning murderer was cain he

come from if adam was his father then god's a liar because

the genealogy should have gone through cain being the elder it

would have been the genealogy he was killed so who sired cain the serpent did

Being so close to a human being, the seed could mingle.

The Jews themselves understood that. If you can't listen, you'll understand that the Jews understood that. Now listen to what the Jews said. Verse 39, the answer is that Abraham is our father. Jesus said, if you're Abraham's children, you do the works of Abraham, but now you seek to kill me. A man that told you the truth, which I have heard of God, this did not Abraham. You do the deeds of your father. And they said to him, we be not born of fornication.

What was the act of fornication?

Even the serpent. Because though she was Adam's wife, he had not yet touched her sexually. She

was his ordained wife. But not physically where union takes place. You go to court of law and try to say, this is my wife and you haven't touched her sexually. They'll

know your marriage certificate. You haven't got a marriage. It's

a word of fornication to me right in the garden. They

could trace themselves to Abraham. They could, from there on, the genealogy categorically said, you are a son of Adam, which was a son of God. Amen.

Christ's daughter made alive. We're not born of fornication. They understood serpents. See, the book of Yemema tells you that. The tale moved. He copulated with the serpent and brought forth Cain. I

don't know so much. You're a good rabbi once, so I'll do you good. You're

fundamentally dead people. There's a code called Protestants, or God knows what, or Christians. Jesus said of God, were your father you to love me, for I proceeded forth and came from God. Neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Now, I'm going to tell you something, but let's be very careful now. Those Pharisees were of their father, the devil, and the spirit they had was the spirit of the enemy. And the spirit of the enemy, the devil spirit, made claim to Jesus Christ. They made claim to Jesus Christ because they said, you are mad, a Samaritan, and you have a devil. When they saw the very works of God and heard the word of God, they said, that is the devil. They themselves of the devil said, that is the devil. You understand what I'm saying? You don't. You think you're getting it. Oh, you are getting it. But you're not getting it deep enough because you're not thinking far enough ahead or I'd have caught it. You better start thinking to yourself right now and people around about you to say, I believe what you believe. Better

examine yourselves this morning. Where do you stand in the faith? I'm

afraid to touch it. It

borders right down to this church and what we stand for.

They say, oh, you people, we don't deny what you claim in the doctrine. But you've got a bad spirit. Let's check that bad spirit out shortly. We're going to get to it. I don't hope so. We're not going to. Get off the ground this morning, Harvey. That's all right. Now we go to page 52, talking

about predestination. The prophet predestinated, the people predestinated to get a revelation from God. He speaks to John the Baptist again. And you know that John the Baptist was a predestinated seed because the book of Isaiah said so and the book of Malachi said so and the angel came and said so. And you have to admit it that he was predestinated. And you got to admit one more thing about John the Baptist. He got what nobody else got, which was the baptism with the Holy Ghost before he was born. And that'll let you know that God can do anything, anytime he wants, any way he wants it. And we ought to shut up and listen and find out if it is God. Say, well, that's a devil. That's a devil. That's a devil. Is that a fact? You may be of the devil. Witnessing to God. Place

your church membership in your genealogy, what you think you believe. A

lot more places than anybody here has ever been spiritually speaking. You see and know these things. Books and the whole bit. A

person's got to be careful. Now listen, talking to John the Baptist, God said to John the Baptist, go on out there. And when you see this one, the Messiah, there'll be a sign coming from heaven like a light. The Holy Spirit in the form of a devil. Come down. That'll be he when you see him. God

had to tell the prophets or the prophets could tell the people. When has God ever changed? The

book of Revelation indicating the seals and the thunders. Somebody's got to come and do it. You can't leave it to happen. You've got to leave it to God. How did God do things? Moses

learned his ways, but Israel saw his works. They saw the works of Jesus Christ. Never learned the ways.

What about this generation? Then

goes the Apostle Paul. The Apostle Paul

had

God reveal himself to him. He was another predestinated seed. Paul mentions that himself. Now you notice that concerning

Paul, Brother Brandon says, he might have said when he was out to destroy the Christians, if I can get a hold of that bunch, I'll tear them to pieces because I'm Dr. Saul. I came up under Gamaliel. And you know, Jax, I came up from the Moody Bible Institute. Or some others did you? In other words, I'm a scholar. I know what I'm talking about. I'll tear that bunch of holy rollers to pieces. Now notice, all the time religion rises against religion, and this is the study of religion and spirituality. And religion is a pseudo -spirituality, and Christianity, if it's true Christianity, is a true spirituality. All right. Many of the Catholics did those Protestant martyrs, 68 million. And that's just maybe a few, some of them, not all. That's just stuff.

They wipe out whole cities. was it wiped out a bunch of Huguenots in St. Valentine's Eve. People

still remain Catholics knowing that.

Knowledge ought to turn every Catholic into a Protestant protesting the old Catholic church and cleaning it up. Not a token cleaning up, but a real cleaning up.

Because you see, the spirit goes to a certain word. If you got a wrong word, you got a wrong spirit.

God will never anoint anything but the true mechanics. And if we're wrong here this morning, we're not going to see the light of the first resurrection. Let's just be honest, brothers and sisters. Be honest like William Branagh was. If we're not right, there's a right out there somewhere. We're just nodding. I'm sorry. At

least we got enough on the ball of the white throne judgment. He'll say, well, at least you saw something, so you can come over here. You don't have to be there so long. Now, that's not purgatory. That's annihilation I'm talking about. Don't get that in your head. I'm going to live in purgatory. You're going to want to get cleansed. You want no way of shaving for them.

I'm a scar. I know I'm talking, but I'll tear that bunch of holy roads to pieces. And I tell you, great holy father, that's a high priest. You just give me permission to go there, and I'll arrest every one of those noisemakers down there. All this divine healing stuff, we'll stop it. You

know why? Look at it. Your AMA even wants to stop a naturopath from practicing. And they're determined to take over the chiropractors. How? By getting therapists in their office to learn adjustments. The

old spell, the chiropractors, the doctors can have their way. And the FDA will see that you get poison instead of fresh foods and vegetables. They're going to radiate your food in a way there's no way to destroy it. And they don't have to put the thing on the labels even, so that's fine. I

killed a man. I get thrown in jail and they stretch my neck for it.

As long as you're licensed by the government, the church, it's okay. It controls the government now. Don't think it doesn't. It'll rise up tomorrow and throw this government just like that. Don't think the church can't do it, because it can, but it's doing it pretty soon on these days.

So Paul put the high priest's credential in his pocket, and he said, I'm on my way down that road. And that day, about 11 o 'clock in the day, a light shone on his face, and he fell to the earth. Now, what did that light say? It wasn't a light that said nothing. Just wham! Well,

you see, Paul, you've got high blood pressure. And if your blood rises, suddenly wham! You see sparks before your eyes. It's like a blue and plump in your eye.

Hardening the arteries does that, old boy. No problem. But the voice identified himself and said, I'm Jehovah's Savior.

Or Paul would not have known. When

Moses saw the burning bush, he would not have known. So

someone could open the book of Revelation. He got to know first.

Predestinated. Then you and I would have to be predestinated. Now if William Brannan wasn't that one, there would be one coming. And we're not predestinated. And he was not predestinated. Just foreknown. spoken of, somebody else is going to be. You better believe it, because that's the way God does it. That's the way God does it. You've got to abide by it. We can't tell God what to do.

Paul was struck down. He was stricken.

St. Augustine, the

one that said, Paul was raging against God, so God struck him down and subdued him. Ought not the church therefore do the same to the heretics that rage against her? I

think my landlord, Louis Stack, Mary and him and old Bachelorette Nazarene, whatever he was, here was that, when he saw the scenes from Vietnam and the priests egging, The people aren't. He was redemptive with rage. He didn't have a fierce weapon. He didn't have a fierce knock in the road. And the Protestants, let's find out if there's spirits amongst us. The Protestants and Catholics both. Let's go to the 13th chapter of the book of Revelation. Let's read some scripture. We've got all time to read. We're going to get out of here in time. Don't worry. I'm going to take my time. Two paragraphs this morning. Fine. Two paragraphs. We've got lots of time. That's all we have. We've got eternity ahead of us. All right. 11th verse of Revelation 13. Now beheld another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, spoke like a dragon.

And he exercised all the power of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and them that dwell therein to worship the first beast whose deadly wound was healed. So what was that? That was a great papal, Roman Empire, the papal situation. The Roman Empire, they came back under the Pope, under the papal dogma. And he doeth great wonders, so he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth, and the sight of men, and deceives them that dwell on the earth by means of those miracles which had power to do in the sight of the beast, saying to them, that round the earth that they should make an image to the beast which had the wound by the sword and did live. And he had power to give life to the image of the beast. The image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as did not worship the image of the beast should be killed. What

do you think of that?

Last time, then people talk of a great revival where millions are going to come into Christ. How can they lie about the word of God? He said fewer are going to come in. As it was in the days of Noah, eight people. And they claimed there was five billion on earth at that time. Yes. statistically i read it 50 years ago and the statistician said there would be 5 billion on earth at the time of the old a lot more space too though we only got one sixth of land they had solution

more with it more aids coming sins

brother sister absolutely tight idolatry they don't love god the word they don't love him they love everything else and so therefore they will fall more and more into sexual sins they're

not going to stop it they're going to just do their best to find a way to get around it so they can go right ahead you think those homos are going to stop well they're scared of you They'll be right back. Don't worry. Our

little spirits, you're not going to shake them. No way to shake them for them. They'll go somewhere. They'll reverse disease. Worst thing of all, they stop messing with each other. Then they start messing with the... Well, the bisexuals come in on it. Then you've got the heterosexuals. They'll be picked up next. Spread like wildfire. You understand what I'm talking about? Because you're not going to stop the spirit. It's going to work itself out sexually somewhere, somehow. It's

claimed that they got social disease, the first syphilis disease. Syphilis from where

men used them. The Bible speaks to that. It's a natural use. You think it's not going to sweep the world? You've got another guest coming. It's already here. They're not covering up figures. They always have covered up figures. Show me the government hasn't lied. It's always lied. Always will lie. All

those people are going to be those who are truly born again. Maybe you find it hard to speak up. Now listen. He calls with all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand or their foreheads. that no man might buy or sell save he that had the mark or the name of the beast or the number of his name. It tells you right there. Now, that's the same spirit.

You join us or you'll die. We've got all the food. We've got this. We've got that. You're going to join us to live. You want to live. Now, we're lovely people. If you want to commit suicide, that's your problem. But you can come with us. But you're cut off. The same spirit.

I'm talking about Paul the Great's daily spirit. See, why? Why? Why did this happen? He was a predestinated seed, and God said, I've chosen him, and I'm going to show him what great things he'll suffer for my name's sake. I'll send with the Gentiles, disgrace him in every way there can be. He'll be disgraced, but he'll bear my name. Now, having the prophets all suffered, Matthew

23. Behold, I send to you prophets and wise men of scribes, and some of you shall kill and crucify. Didn't say they had to help me, some of you shall kill and crucify. And some will scourge your synagogues and persecute city to city. For judgment of all. It doesn't

say in the book of Revelation. Judges are going to fall in the great horror. And they're hard of dawn. The Bible says so. Okay. What if we have a prophet in this hour then? Will he suffer? He certainly will. What about the people of God? There'll be a measure of suffering there too. What about Elijah? If he comes, same thing. God said he would. Paul went down there and he got all his ecclesiastical stuff cut off of him. Down on the back side of the desert.

Prophets always get away by themselves. They don't go with the crowd. They can't. There's no way. the theology kind of come from schools there's no way well

listen if their theology could come from a school then god would have to be the head of that school for sure having demonstrated he was the head and anybody that didn't go there ought to die and should die god

never dealt with anybody in the school never will moses is the great prophet whose name is linked with the lamb in the book of revelation he did not go to school he had to go to the back side of the desert for 40 solid years and be there everything was knocked on him Paul had to do the same thing. He said, all my high learning I called dumb manure.

Exactly what it was. Horrible

thing. Now, let's get into this. In the backside of the desert, three years and a half down in Arabia, until he learned the word, and the word became he, and he became a prisoner. Now watch. He learned the word, and the word became he. In other words, the man and the message was one. His life was that word, and the word was his life. He was imbued. With a living doctrine.

Christ is that word. Now. And he became a prisoner. Now watch. We're going to read this next little bit together. Here he came back in chains of love. All my seminary experience is gone. I'm a prisoner of Jesus Christ. Amen. Philemon my brother. I'm a prisoner of Jesus Christ. I can only speak and say what he tells me. Every prophet agrees with that. God needs prisoners today that will. Imprison themselves to his will, to his word. That's what Paul was, a prisoner to the word. No matter how much doctrine of intellectually he had learned, he had to know God by revelation. Yes, sir. The intellectual went all the way out of the business then when revelation came. Upon this rock, the church is built. Now let's go back. Here he come back. He came back in chains of love. Now, love of what? Whom

was he a prisoner? To the one that says, I am Jehovah. What was he imprisoned to? The message that God gave him.

The prophet says he's here in chains of love. All right. Let's go to Hebrews, the first chapter. And

we go to the ninth verse. And it says here concerning Jesus. But we see Jesus. Now, Paul was a prisoner to Jehovah. Who are you? Who are you, Lord? I'm Jesus.

Who was made of the Lord and the angels for the suffering of death. Beg your pardon. Ninth verse of the first chapter.

All right. But thou hast loved righteousness and hated iniquity. Therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oily gladness above thy fellows. Now this was the one with the perfect love for righteousness and the perfect hatred for iniquity. You cannot understand God unless you understand love and hatred and know what it's all about. And the hatred is not what you think it is. But you've got to know what iniquity is. And I've taught it many, many times. We go to 1 John, in

the third chapter, and beginning at verse 11. And this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. And remember, the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost.

Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one. Tells you right there who was the wicked one. Adam was not the wicked one. God was not the wicked one. Who was the wicked one? The serpent was the wicked one. So close to a man.

Far more beautiful than Adam. That's

where the giants came from. Not angels having intercourse. How can angels have intercourse? Fallen devils can make people have intercourse. Every by and way under God's high heaven. Even blame it on to God.

Angels procreate

ejaculating sperm.

Monks and monasteries fooling nuns and stupid women.

All that tripe to the Bible and call it God. Fascinated by these stupid books you read. Okay,

an honest king was that wicked one that slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him?

Because his own works were evil and his brother's righteous. The evil work was not killing his brother. The evil work preceded the killing of his brother. It was an evil work. An iniquitous work. Cain, Abel's work was righteous.

Understand. Now, let's go back here to the third chapter, I think it is, of the book of Genesis.

No, it's the fourth verse. Because it's Cain later on. The Lord said in the fourth chapter in the sixth verse. The Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth, and why is thy countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted. And if thou doest not well, so sin offering lies at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. And the Septuagint, it says, and the Greek had a very literal translation. It says, If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted. Thou hast rightly offered, but thou hast not rightly divided. And the scripture in Timothy says you've got to divide the word of God correctly. And that's what's entirely wrong. People don't know what the Bible says. They're trying to figure it themselves, not waiting for God to send the man that's ordained to figure it. Not figure it, but to be in the figuration of God to tell you what God means. They had it partly right. Pentecostals, every age has had it. Right through the Catholic Church, they've had it partly right. Certain people. But at the end of time, there's got to be a restoration. And people are blind. They say, oh, I just don't believe that. They don't believe it.

All right, listen. What then was the righteous act of evil? The righteous act was by divine revelation the blood must be shed. That was the word. The divine revelation placed the first fruit after the blood offering. You offer first fruit when you're righteous enough to do it. To give back to God something.

Baptize in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and filled with the Holy Ghost. Now you can begin to offer back to God something which you cannot do before. And the blood is not efficacious unless you are baptized with the Holy Ghost. It's not that it's not efficacious per se, but to you it's not.

Let me read it to you, if I can find it. I always have trouble finding it. 10th chapter of the book of Hebrews. 4 by 1 offering, verse 14. He hath perfected for every them that are sanctified. That's by the blood, making you perfectly separated. Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us, which tells you if the blood has been applied, and you're perfectly set apart by the blood. And baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Ghost will fall upon you. That's exactly what it did in the book of Acts. And

don't change it to somebody's dogman creeds. It'll

be without sensation, without some sign. But you'll know when you begin to believe this word and this word begins to work in you. The word working in you mightily is what God wants because the word and the spirit are now together. You're a conduit of the whole thing. And the word in you is a conduit of the life that comes from God. You get the conduit of the word. See? Energized by the life of the Holy Ghost in you as a conduit for the whole thing. You represent Jesus Christ. Your body can learn to get out of the way. You

really want to know that.

So there you are. Now, let's go to, I read it here. In Hebrews 1 and 9. You get the picture because I don't want to lose the picture. It's too important. It says concerning Jesus the Christ himself. But unto the Son he said, Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever. A sepulcher of thy kingdom. Notice what the testimony. Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever. A sepulcher of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness and iniquity. Therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed the Holy God. You've got two gods like this sort of speaking there. The Lord said to my Lord.

Showing us the supreme power that's vested in the Son through Almighty God. Now, he said, Thou hast loved righteousness. and hated iniquity. What did God love? God loved the revelation of his word which people believed and abided in. And what did he hate? The revelation given and people turning it down and going their own way.

9th chapter on

predestination.

Not of works, but of him that calleth. It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger, as it is written, Jacob hath loved, and Esau hath hated. What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. Go right there and go back to Romans, the first chapter. Romans,

right? Let's put it together. Verse 18. For the wrath, no. Verse 16. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. It is the power of God unto salvation for every one that believeth to the Jew, first also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith, as it is written, the just shall live by faith. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who hold down the truth and unrighteousness. Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them. In other words, there's something in there that's going to make a discernment. They've got the ability to look out there and know if it's God or not if they want to get down to issues on. In other words, this is a natural thing. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead. They're without excuse. So what is it? Because when they knew God, they glorified him not as God. Now notice it says they knew him. So he must have had a manifestation presented to them that was beyond nature and beyond creation. Because you cannot know God from creation. All you know, there is a God. But what kind of a God? Like somebody midnight bangs on your door. It's pitch dark out there. And you're stupid enough to open the door. And suddenly, you can't see the person. is it an enemy or somebody's there we've

got to make himself visible oh thank god it's you got

to give a sign something's got to happen people don't believe that that's the bible the

living god now and but became vain in their reasonings and the foolish heart was darkened so you know over here when it says what should we say is there unrighteousness with god the answer is no because god had plainly laid it out before everybody that

this was not done in the corner when you got a man like William Branham, wherein 30 ,000 people were saved at one time in South Africa. And they took truckloads and truckloads of wheelchairs and crutches and sticks and what have you, prostheses of various kinds, down the main street. Seven truckloads.

Ministry nowhere he could stand back and say, I guarantee. Well, nobody could guarantee. And all the churches stood back. I'm going to say one thing. If that wasn't God in evidence, it sure came close. And

what will it be when he does come into evidence? greater than ever, and they'll turn it down worse, because it seems they could take the pitiful things, the inconsequential, those that prove nothing but a man's intellect, hogwash on your intellect.

The so -called smart men are usually insane to begin with.

Kids out of the crib that can do mathematics at the age of four usually end up cripples. Not

many mighty does God choose, not many great, not many anything. It doesn't mean he chooses idiots and empties insanities, he chooses to get his converts. God

doesn't pick that up. He chooses it.

Complex, conceit things.

Is there unrighteousness within God? In other words, does God himself depart from his own word? Does God now officiate and do things opposite to his word?

Certainly not. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, but people will not trace it through the Bible.

that I might show my power in thee, and my name might be declared throughout all the earth. Now you tell me that Pharaoh did not have an opportunity when he saw the works of God and his own magicians failed. You show me where Israel didn't have the opportunity when Elijah stood there with the 400 prophets of Baal and called their hand and killed a whole bunch of them, showed the power of God, and they still turned to idolatry. You

show me Jesus Christ. He failed too.

Stood right there in the presence of these men that knew Moses and knew the word of God. He said he's got a devil. Why? Because he didn't agree. The

most horrible thing in this world, brother, sister, is the first step of hate. In fact, disagreement. One comes from the other. First to the other. I'm not quite sure. That doesn't mean to agree with folly, to line up with take a false word.

I'm talking about the disagreements in people's life where they simply can't say, well, you see it your way and I'll see it my way. But they're not going to do it because Abel was killed because of a disagreement. Over what?

You know what? It'll split families, destroy

brother and sister, father and mother.

Too often.

Now, I was going to read you in John 17. You're

kidding. This is not too disjointed. All right. Let's look at that 17th chapter in the fourth verse. I have glorified thee on earth. How? I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. What was the work? It was the word of God that God had outlined for him. So Paul was as a predestinated seed in the footsteps of Jesus Christ. He hated iniquity. he could not stand what was against the gospel but he didn't murder anybody from that time on he had a spirit of compassion and understanding a spirit to win people he was winsome not loathsome anymore he was loathsome he thought he was winsome oh that's that's that perverted kind of love now let's look at this again here he comes back in chains of love love of what love of the person love of the word

Now, Brother Bannon says here, God needs prisoners today to imprison themselves to his will, to his word. So where does love come from? It's got to come from that word. It's got to spring from that word. First of all, the love of God absolutely cannot be placed outside of the word. Now, you know what I'm talking about. He said, if Abraham was your father, you'd love me. You'd know that God was my father. But they hated him because they had a different word. Now, if they had his word, they'd have loved him. They'd have loved the Father, and they'd have loved each other. Now, they had all kinds of love outside of that, but it didn't cut with God. It was iniquity. I

don't care how rabid it is to be a real whirlwind of terrible, atrocious living. That

person could show some love, some kindness. We call love. We call kindness. That's good. I'm all for it. But we're not talking about that this morning. We're talking about the love of God shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost. How can you love God and hate that word that's been delivered, proven by God to be the word for this hour? Go

back in your own minds again. The

same word, misunderstood. And

you know what? He loved his own interpretation so much he could kill for it.

And notice he was the first liar after his father. His father the serpent lied, then he lied. When God said, where is your brother? He said, how do I know? That jerk just runs around all the time with those crazy revelations. He thought there's somewhere. He said, I know, said God. His blood is crying right now. Listen, dare to say that in the face of God. Do you understand me, people, as far as what I'm saying? You

read your Bibles, you look at this, you hear me preach, but it goes over your head, it doesn't become real to you. This is the real warfare you're in.

Prisoners of love, loving

the Logos.

God himself expressed in God his spirit with only two major attributes, omnipotence and omniscience. That covers everything, everything, everything. It doesn't leave one thing out.

Because if you've got the ability to do it, you know what you want done. That's everything.

God being spirit could do it. Manifested all that in the form of Jesus Christ, who brought the revealed word, told the people all about himself. What was going on? He said, I got to die. They said, no, we don't accept the death of anybody for a nation. We offer lambs and goats because God forbade it. We give our children to fire and shed blood and all. He said, but hold, he said, here's something different. I said, we don't care about that. That's just mystical something. Who knows? Who knows? Who knows? This is what we believe.

And certain

men which came down from Judea taught the brethren and said, except you be circumcised after the manner of Moses, you cannot be saved. Who said so? Well,

they said so. Who are they? I'd like to know. False prophets, false apostles. When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension or disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas and certain other of them should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question. They were stood the very man that had the authority, Paul. Because he said if any man is a prophet or thinks himself to be or spiritual, full of the Holy Ghost, let him acknowledge that to man... The things that I write unto you are the commandments of God, a vindicated prophet. He said he was. And being brought on their way by the church, they passed Ephesus and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles, and caused great joy to all the brethren. And when they were come to Jerusalem, they received the church of the apostles and elders. They declared all the things that God had done with them. But there rose up certain sects of Pharisees which believed, saying, now notice, they were made believers, partly believers. They're going to flaunt their big, they're not a big Pharisee. Well, I came from this school. I came from that school. I'm a PhD. Listen, I'll tell you, I believe this William Brown, I'm a prophet of God, too. But I'll tell you what it's all about. I got my PhD. Sure, I know that, too. I

mean, that stuff that Paul called manure, which is piled high and deeper. That's your brains. That's where they are. Come out of the brains. Which believes saying that it was needful to circumcise them and to command them to keep the law of Moses. You tell me they understood anything of grace? Oh, boy.

They claim to be believers in the Pentecostal hour. of the fresh falling of the Holy Spirit, the endowed and endued apostles. You

think we're not going to have that amongst us? And

we will not be rent by the outside and inside. I want to tell you something. You haven't been hearing me preach. You're nice people, but there's something wrong with you. You've got cotton in your ears or something. If

you're not, if you're not hated, some are not a mark. You can't be worth anything.

And when there had been so much as beauty, Peter rose up and said, Men and brethren, you know how that a good while ago God made choice among us that the Gentiles be... The Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel and believe. And God which knoweth the hearts, bear them when it's given them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us. And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. Now wherefore? Therefore why tempt you, God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? But we believe that through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, we shall be saved even as they. Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring, What miracles and wonders God hath wrought among the Gentiles by them. And after they held their peace, James answered, saying, Men of bread, and how can we meet? Simeon had declared how God did first visit the Gentiles to take out a people for his name's sake. And this agreed the words of Proverbs written. After this, I'll return and build again the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down. Now, who's going to build the tabernacle? Not after all the Gentiles come in. That's not it. It's being built now. And I'll build again the rooms where I've set it up. He's turned to the Gentiles.

We've got King David. As

the do of men might seek after the Lord and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doth do with all these things. known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. They

kept on talking to you. Wherefore, my sentence is, we trouble not, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God. But that we write in them, that they abstain from pollution of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. Now, I'd like you to find out exactly where the Bible says the Gentiles are to abstain from things strangled or from blood. But

they said that's the way it is.

Now, there's the danger of preachers getting together right there. If

they start adding, they'll add.

For Moses of old time, in every city, them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath day. Then pleased that the apostles and the elders and the whole church to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas, namely Judas, surnamed Barsabbas, and Silas, chief among the brethren. And they wrote letters by them after this man. The apostles and the elders and the brethren send greetings unto the brethren, which are of the Gentiles and the Antiochans. I'm not saying it's bad to abstain from that. I'm just saying watch what people do. For as much as we have heard the certain which went out from you have troubled you with words, went out from us, have troubled you with words, subverting your souls. Notice, subverting your souls. Notice how they said it. You must be circumcised to keep the law to whom we gave no such commandment. They said we didn't give any. But they went out from us and we didn't send them out to tell that. I wonder if they hadn't been sending anybody out outside the Holy Ghost. I'm not saying the Holy Ghost wasn't there helping to send people out. But I'm letting you know the trouble came in at the very first. And if you read history, you will find that in the first church age, before the apostles had even died off, according to, I don't know if it's true, but according to history, they were fighting over infant baptism. Yes,

one word on, one word off. I'm laying it out where the prophet laid it out to help you understand. It's dangerous. It seemed good to us being assembled in one accord to send chosen men adieu with our beloved brother, beloved Barnes and Ball. Men who have hazarded their lives for the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we have also sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same thing from our mouth. For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost to do us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these things necessary. Now, I don't know how they got the mind of the Holy Ghost, but it's very possible they did. But it's very possible, we'll show you, there could be some that not perfect the mind of Christ. Now watch. That you abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication, for which you keep yourselves, you'll do well, fare you well. Now that's not much to put upon the people. But now let's go a little further, and let's go to Galatians. the um let's see second

chapter and uh we'll read there and paul was speaking and he said 14 years after in jerusalem but barnum took titus with me went up in revelation and spoke to them the things of the gospel which i preach among the gentiles but privately them which her reputation has been it means i should run ahead with them but neither titus was with me being a greek was compelled to be circumcised and then that because of false bread and underwear is brought in now paul's telling the story that it happened who came in practice was by order of liberty which we had in christ that they might bring us into bondage. Now, you see, they tried to get 14 years after Paul received the revelation, he went to Jerusalem, and a bunch of Judaizers was already mixed with the people. In other words, they reverted back to their old religion, the same as this bunch, called Branhamites, will go back to Pentecost. The

man phoned me and told me, a certain brother I esteem very, very highly has gone, he's put church order out of his church. Feet and tongues, I guess, from the floor and everything else. It's not supposed to be. That's mayhem. That's habit. Where are they going?

Pentecost is a... Pentecostal God. And that because of false brethren unawares brought in. Now notice, false brethren. So there's true brethren and false brethren who came in privately to spy on our liberty, which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us back into bondage. The Church Age book goes into that very thoroughly. To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour. What were they subject to? Chains of love. Dare

to say you loved anybody with the love of God unless you were right in that word.

Now, I know there's motivation, brother, sister. Understand that perfectly. We're not talking strictly in the lines of mechanical. We're talking in lines of the mechanical. It's really of God. God's obligated to use that as a conduit of the Holy Ghost. Then you as the super outlet. Because

what's in your soul comes through your spirit and dominates your flesh.

Now, you've got to be subject to the word inwardly and obedience too. But what good is inward subjugation if you've got the wrong mechanics? You follow what I'm saying? It's so hard for people to understand. They think I don't believe in love. Look, I believe in mushy love, almost prostituted love. Just get loving for God's sake. Do something nice. We're

not talking to just nice people. We need to be nice. We're talking concerning a reality where the wrong division blows it and puts a spirit on you that makes you misunderstand entirely. So I love God, I worship, I do this, and then kill. And

they're coming to you.

Pentecostals has brought in ecumenism. They're all speaking in tongues. I have nothing against those brothers. God bless them. It's fine by me what they do. Just don't do it

just like I don't want to. You have to close us up first. God will give us strength, I suppose so.

But of those who seem to be somewhat, what if so ever they were, it makes no matter to me. God accepts no man's person. I

like them apples.

Paul wasn't a rough customer. For they who seem to be somewhat in comforts added nothing to me. But contrary wise, when they saw the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of circumcision was at Peter. And that simply means he went to the Jews and stayed with them, though the door was open to the Gentiles. Paul left the Jews and went to the Gentiles, period. For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles. That explains what I just said.

And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me in Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the heathen and to the uncircumcision, to the circumcision. Only they would that we should remember the poor. Now this time they don't say about the blood and the strangling and all those things, do they? Which also is what we do. But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face.

Oh, Paul, you

dared to stand up to your brother. What a horrible spirit you got,

Paul, because I've had double barrels of that.

By letter, by telephone, by any of everything else. I have a spirit of hell because I dare to believe in what I preach here. And if I would say I am wrong and you're right, I'd soon have a spirit of God. But they can lie and say everything they want and they've got a nice spirit. Is that so? The

gloves are off, eh?

Backing up. I

want to ask one question that

you figure from there, brother, sister. Believe

exactly then what spirit is motivating them with the claims of what they say. Just

because somebody thinks he's as nice as Jesus Christ doesn't necessarily mean that I think he's that. Just

because some of you men think you're God's gift to women doesn't mean your wife thinks that. Vice versa. I hope nobody here fits that description. Because that's worse than fornication. That's adultery.

I was stood feet because he's believing. For before that certain came from James. Now listen. He ate with the Gentiles. But when they were come. That bunch came down. He withdrew and separated himself. Fearing them would drop the circumcision. I'm

just telling you. Come on Gary. We're all human beings. But we're doing far worse than this. But I want you to know. There's something here. Somebody's got to have backbone. Somebody's got to get to a place. And I don't think it was just William Branham. I think you and I must come to some place too. The other Jews assembled likewise with him. In so much that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. That was the end of Barnabas.

Paul said, I can't stand to quit. He said, John, Mark, quit. He said, you quit. He said, forget it. What

can two walk together except to be agreed? There was a valid quote in that maybe. Can a man who believes in all the word of God have unity with them who just believe part of the word of God? God wants separators. He

had it right there, boy.

But when I saw that they walked not uprightly, Jesus was anointed above all men because he loved uprightness. According to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, if thou being a Jew, Livers after the man are Gentiles and not as do the Jews. Why do you compel the Gentiles to live as do the Jews? Now

here's a man that went back on the revelation temporarily. John went back on his revelation temporarily. He said, are you really the Christ? There

could be ups and downs and swings and moves amongst us.

That's right, I don't deny that. But there's got to be a tie post somewhere. Let's

go to 1 Corinthians 10.

Now here's what Paul said when

he talks about idolatry and the eating of things sacrificed to idols.

wherefore verse 14 my dearly beloved free idolatry i speak as a wise man judge what you say what i say the cup of blessing which he blessed is it not the community the blood of christ the bread which he break is it not the community the blood of body of jesus christ in other words you go through a formula you go through a ceremony you go to your right that means something you do the same with idols for we being many are one bread and one body we're all partakers that one bread behold his staff the flesh are they not they which eat the sacrifice partake of the order what what what say i then that the idol is anything Or that which is offered in sacrifice to the idols and everything? No. The idol doesn't exist. There's no gods there. There's no sacrifice there. But I say, the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice the devils and not to God. And I would not that you should have fellowship with devils. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and cup of devils. You can't be partakers of the Lord's table and tables of devils. Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we strong in hate? There were some people doing things that were after the abomination. as the Roman Catholic Church does right now.

Their whole setup is wrong, and the Protestants are the same boat. Now watch. All things are lawful for me. All things are not expedient. All things are lawful, but all things do not edify. Let no man seek his own, but every man another's. Whatever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake. In other words, in the butcher shop, where they take the sacrificed animals, who are offered to God, and they cut them up and sell them. For conscience sake, don't ask questions. Just buy the meat and eat it.

Did Paul talk like that? What do you think he's saying?

For the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. So you're blessed in Jesus' name and claim it for God. Because you don't know. If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be not disposed to go, and ye be disposed to go, whatever is said before you eat, asking no question for conscience's sake. Don't bug yourself over those things. If any man say this is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that showed it, and for conscience's sake. For the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. In other words, if they prostitute it, then you leave it. So I can't eat that because my brother doesn't understand. More

conforming to a word to save somebody's conscience, to help him. But in this hour, you're full grown. Even

Paul had a rebuke. You're still children. You ought to be teachers. And

men right now come right behind me in this pulpit. I'm not talking about Brother Clark. I'm talking about you men.

Come right behind me. Be able to teach the very things I'm teaching with an understanding that people,

you go up there and tell others. Whether

you've been taught right or wrong, you should be.

be here if you didn't believe I was right. See? Conscience, I say, not that no, but the other. For why is my liberty judged by another man's conscience? Dude, because I want to be, you know, nice. That's real love right there. Sacrifice, would you know you could. That's bearing and forbearing. Not that you have to, but you go ahead and do. That's the extra mile, turning the cheek, those things. For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that which I give thanks? I don't

care who is offered to. Offer the devil's all you want. I buy it down here and I take it home. Bless the name of the Lord because God gave it. The devil didn't give it. The devil just prostitutes it. I take it home, cook and eat it. They

didn't say that at the conference in Jerusalem.

I want to ask you a question. Who had the mind of God? Several men or one man? It's right there. Breaks it down and shows you. It

shows you not to be skittish and not how to assault smart anything, but shows you how the word within the framework always works out. Get it outside. You've got a bunch of perversion every time. Wherefore, therefore ye, or drink. Whether they're free to drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. Give none offense, neither to the Jew, nor the Gentile, nor the church of God. Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved. Well, how could you come and kowtow to anybody, and get anybody, not just anybody, what they believe, and back away all the time, and get anybody saved? They'd say, well, that bird there, he isn't convinced in his own mind what he's got. In fact, I'm more convinced in my mind than he is. So who needs his? Sister,

we're not here to lay eggs. especially no hint can bring out. Let's take a look at what 1 Peter says. You get 1

Peter 1 and 23. Now it says here, in order 22, seeing you have purified your souls and obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, that ye love one another with a pure heart firmly. Now it tells you right there, you obeyed the truth. What truth? The truth of the revealed word in that hour when you got baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and full of the Holy Ghost. Now with that, you have the unfeigned love of brethren. And you love fervently. Why? You're born again. Not of corruptible seed. But of incorruptible. There's a corruptible seed you can be born of. Because

you've got reality. The

real joy.

Understand. You

get a mule and a horse breeding together. They'll show the hybrid qualities every single time. Brother Brandon said we're thoroughbreds. We've got one line coming from God. Listen. Uncorruptible by the word of God which lives in the Bight River. Which word lives in the Bight River? The true revealed. on the tolerated word of Almighty God. As the church is built upon that, brother, sister, and she's rock hard, she doesn't deviate one little split second from it. While we move a little bit here and there, because the revelation gets more complete, we move back more and more in dead center. One of these days there's going to be a bride that knows the word of God, knows who she is and what's her place. As we've tried to teach here, as the prophet taught us, vindicated by God, there's going to be a bride. And I say again, if we're not bride, there's a bride out there somewhere, brother, sister. So tread gently and softly. But as you do stay with that word, you

deviate. It shows that something is missing somewhere. Look, they hated Paul for one thing, not the way he lived. He didn't wash pans. But they couldn't

see me wrong in one word. Tell me one word. And they said, oh, it isn't your words. Would you just shut up and listen to us? Because

the very words indicate that what I speak is from the one who speaks. Because

for Abraham's children, they were of the devil themselves. And they branded Jesus of it. They

couldn't even tell their own spirit.

talk about deception, the razor end of the last day, the two spirits. I'm not trying to put anybody down. I'm trying to show you something. It

doesn't mind me as a person or my life. I'll

stand just where I stand on that word. That's where it goes. I have a word that I hid in my heart. I might not sin against it. Why? Because there's a life coming back. And it's not what people tell you that life is. The

bride can get out of here, but the grace of God is right.

Heavenly Father, always taking so much time, but you know, Lord, what have we got in eternity? Time, time, time, and time. And we don't take enough time even now coming together to study your word, word by word. Say it too fast, people can't get it. Say it too hard at times, it shocks people. I don't like that too much. It would be nicer if we could just take maybe 25 minutes on each little word. Trace it through kindly with a dozen to one illustration. But Lord, I don't think we could do better than going into your word like we try to do this morning. Scripture by scripture and chapter by chapter. And it's your word, Lord, we read. I trust that it was opened to us this morning by your spirit. helping us, oh God, to know where we stand. This is the last hour of judgments in the land, Lord. So much, oh God. So much, Lord, just so much. How can we know it all? But we can know what we're supposed to know. How can we live it all? By your Spirit. As Paul said, I've been crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live. Yet not I, but Christ lives in me. It's going to take your faith, Lord, to do as Paul said it took. So help us this morning, Lord, to learn to get out of the way. Be absolutely bound over and sold over to you, Lord, whatever that word wants. We want to know the revelation, and we want to live it moment by moment. Oh, God, as the prophet so solemnly said back there in the Old Testament and in the New also, quoting that our breath is in your hands, and in you we live and move and have our brain. And as another one said, there's one step betwixt me and death. There isn't anybody here who couldn't step off a curb and get hit by a bus or something and get killed. It wouldn't matter. One step in the wrong direction, fall off a cliff. Just one step, Lord. We realize these things, Father. We need to be more serious, sober about the word which has been revealed to this hour, not to make it a toy or a plaything or something mental. Some word gives us some kind of preeminence, but God, if it doesn't give you all the preeminence and show it in, we know there's something. It just isn't the Holy Spirit, or at least not in the measure of His free will in our lives as it ought to be. So forgive us, O God, we humbly plead. All of us this morning in our hearts and our minds, Lord, ask you to forgive us of every single sin and help us now to walk in righteousness, dividing your word, and to enjoy this life, Lord, in a spirit of relaxation and peace and goodness, knowing, Lord, that you never made us in vain, Lord. You didn't make us here to be in the thrall of the enemy and under the power of darkness, but you made us to be sons of God and joint heirs with Jesus Christ. And Lord, you never said that was just for the money. You said it started here. Liberate your people, I pray this morning, oh God, to really know righteousness from unrighteousness. Him who serves God and him who doesn't. To really know the difference. And then walk in that light as you're in the light. Having fellowship one with another in the blood of Jesus. Father, that's what it's all about in my mind. I'm wrong. And Lord, I can't understand anything much about anything if I'm wrong there. And I don't know that the people would either, Lord. I know we've been... yearning and yearning for this freedom, O God, this restoration, Lord, this getting back to Eden. In the fallen state, we're reaching forth our hand with immortality, and then it's all got to be restored because creation's waiting for it. Father, we know that. Just give us, Lord, more humility, more grace this morning. At least we might say, help us to get rid of that which hinders your love.

Help us, Lord, to just realize they're all dead and gone. Father, this morning, renew us as we've never been renewed before. for you the praise and the honor and glory because we ask it in the lord bless you we just go sing
