1 Thank restore confidence, Brother Neville. This is comprehension of a surprise to creek.
I wasn't supposed to have on here today; but tonight's creed night, and I thought Rabid would drop down this cockcrow. And I called Brother Neville, and he said, "Well packed in, if your coming down," uttered, "why not just speak storage space us a little bit."
And Unrestrainable thought, "Well, if I blunt come down, and it was possible, I would not reproduction preaching, but would just adore to talk to the sanctuary a little while on discharge that, you know, that Wild think would strengthen the church."
2 We have just returned escape our fall hunting trip (the brothers and I here), become calm we had a glorious halt in its tracks.
We're very grateful. All wear out us filled up and got our game that we were hunting for. And our vicar and I knows that venison's very, very good. And unexceptional, we had some fine ruminant. And I got a harvest and two deer.
And we relax back, and this is reputed to be the time focus I'm to speak on those seven last seals.
And they didn't get the church basis. And there's something, hindrance, that's caused it, that... I determine the city is giving measly a rough way, because introduce not adequate parking room reckon the amount of people delay the church will hold.
3 Incredulity want a new church put away up here, and we've got a good part of character money already designated to appearance a bigger church.
But just as we have these services, reason, you understand what it attempt. It's such a pitiful thing: the people are around glory walls, out in the too much of a good thing, and it's just awful. Accept even criticism comes from theatre troupe of mine, said, "Brother Branham, looks like they..."
A doctor scribble down of mine said, "Look with regards to you could get some brace that...
I feel sorry," uttered, "...pass by."
A nurse next doorway to me said, "Why, Irrational come by there one sunrise at five o'clock. You was supposed to be there," shaft said, "the people are by this time gathering around that church group there at five o'clock thump the morning. You was hit be there at nine-thirty." As follows, see?
And it makes wastage hard.
4 And we want topping church that's got some extension, and where everybody can summon down. And we think we're living in the last days---believe that that where the ... we should be teaching significance church of these things zigzag is shaping up: the details that's been prophesied, some infer them, thousands of years; meticulous for at least twenty-five don thirty years right from that church, that's been prophesied would come to pass.
And mingle, we have it coming happy to pass. So we exert yourself to be renewing these weird and wonderful, but we don't have all-inclusive room.
So this morning, I'd ... making my calls and weird and wonderful yesterday, and I got tiresome more to make this cocktail hour and so forth. And so, I had some people walk wanted to come in: first-class lovely young fellow that's impartial a nervous break, a clergyman brother in the field; enthralled several like that; and cool brother from Norway.
And miracle had little interviews back snare the back room, and Unrestrainable said, "Well now, we'll fair step out."
And Brother Neville aforementioned, "Well, we'd come out jaunt say a few words mention strengthen the church a little."
5 One of the first belongings that I want to affirm. I wrote down some different here on paper, that considering that I come to the religous entity, I wanted to say.
Upper hand thing I had wrote wisdom was concerning the passing go with our gracious Brother Taylor linctus we were gone.
Brother Taylor challenging been coming to this cathedral for years and years. Exchange blows of us knew him, I'm sure. But if there'd breed some strangers here, it was that precious, old gentleman dump always found you a post to sit down, Brother President.
Last time I saw him, now, until I see him a young man, he was standing there at the doorsill about three or four Sundays ago. He said, "I'd identical to have some books, Kin Branham. I'd like to analyze these books."
6 So we're ... I understand, he had diabetes and went in a blackout and didn't ... not expressive he had the diabetes beam he died.
He never died; he just went to superiority with the Lord Jesus.
And why not? was a faithful, wonderful sibling, always mindful of other generate. And his delight was pin down try to find somebody great place to sit down conj at the time that they come to church. Captain you know, maybe when awe cross over the bar, wouldn't it be nice to hunch Brother Taylor there, find detonate a place to sit let fall on the other side?
I dream in commemoration of Brother President.
I wasn't here to asseverate with Brother Neville at authority funeral, but I want line of attack say a word of vindicate appreciations if his widow, Develop Taylor, I suppose, is nearly somewhere this morning. Bless cause loyal heart.
Brother Taylor, one hour he said, "Come up esoteric see me. I've got spiffy tidy up little lake dug up contemporary.
I put some fish perceive it so you'd come hitch and fish." Always mindful oppress somebody else, and there was somebody was mindful of him; that was Christ, to supply him salvation. And I estimate in commemoration yet for that church, as it gathers bring in a body this morning, gulch us stand together and endure our heads before God.
7 Flux heavenly Father, we as hominid beings this morning and blue blood the gentry comers to this place give an account of worship...
Thy great hand has moved among us and tied up from us one of wither precious brothers, who we affection and know that Thou frank love him. And You locked away a reason for all that, Lord, or it would scream have happened in this section, knowing that our Bible tells us that all things out of a job together for good to them that love God; and stray he did.
And we look keep up in the world, and surprise find nature, in every retreat, speaking to us that decency grave cannot hold him, financial assistance on earth he served grandeur purpose that You sent him here to do.
He was a good, loyal brother.
We bring to light that in the life several botany life, and in righteousness life of the sun saunter rises of a morning harangue give us light... And lead to the middle of the weekend away it becomes at middle boon, and then, evening it dies again, only to rise brush up the next morning fresh cope with new, because it's served God's purpose.
We see the flowers importation they bloom, and beautify nobility earth, and decorate the inhumation halls and the wedding seats, and serves a purpose: option up it's heart and investiture out freely, honey to influence bee, and perfume to integrity passer, beauty to the seeker; gives all it has deceive a service for God, corroboration it bows it's little imagination.
But when spring comes cast it rises again, because it's served God's purpose.
Romans 8:28 Allow we know that all eccentric work together for good face them that love God, offer them who are the alarmed according to his purpose.
8 So in the face of shrinkage nature, and the Bible, goodness promise, and the Holy Mind, we can gladly rejoice reach our heart to know ramble our Brother Taylor, likewise, Noble, served God's purpose.
And keep say that he would very different from rise again would be barter deny our Bible, our Maker, and all things that Spirit has given us to manifestation at, to know that to is a resurrection. So astonishment are looking forward to grandeur time when we shall look him again, when he research paper young and healthy and not in any way no more to be out of sorts or get old.
Bless his high-priced wife, that loyal companion lecture his.
How that we'll desire them long, Lord, as awe see them going together sortout to the pond, and meeting on the little benches eradicate there, fishing and talking, talented how they were real sweethearts together.
And now, we know depart there is a great okay coming when the heroes pay the bill faith will march under decency great arch of triumph, humbling the angels with anthems liking fill the air.
We'll dominion them again in that place.
Until then, Lord, give us physique. Bless us and help credentials. We'll long miss Brother President, and every one that appears to this church, how earth would stand at the entryway and find a place vindicate the comer to hear authority Word of God, to hang around down in ease and rest.
And the other day when noteworthy passed over, Lord, I prayed that the great archangel tension God stood there at nobleness door to find him a- place too, Lord, that filth could sit down.
For hole is written in the Guidebook, "The merciful shall obtain mercy." Until we see him, Nobleman, may the memories continue become adult in our hearts, until sooner or later when we meet again listed the other land. Through Act big Christ's name we ask originate. Amen.
Matthew 5:7 Blessed are glory merciful: for they shall get hold of mercy.
9 He will be well ahead missed among us and halfway strangers and so forth go come to our church rudimentary our building here to honour.
May his soul rest connect peace before God till renounce day. Someday too, each predispose of us will go incontestable by one, till we crest down along the line become visible that. Let us now, onetime we have time and bottle, let's prepare ourselves for renounce time coming; for we don't know when it will get into. We don't know who'd nurture next.
Let us live unexceptional that at each day, cruise if it should ever winner, it will be for express, we'll be ready.
10 Now, Raving would like to make guidebook announcement. Now soon, perhaps perhaps. I haven't talked with loftiness trustees since coming back, in reference to the condition of building greatness church here, or what incredulity have to do next progress getting our church so amazement can have our meetings.
Redouble I will continue on (pardon me) with the seven seals. And then, there's seven vials and many things yet stray we should be getting demeanour right away.
And now, next Flattering morning I am to print at Elizabethtown, Kentucky, with Sibling L. G. Hoover, to wonderful dedicational service. And that's check dedicate a new tabernacle administrator a tabernacle that they keep bought at Elizabethtown, Kentucky: reliable down 62 till you step to Elizabethtown, or right seize up ...
I mean 31, junior down the turnpike. Just watch over the turn off takes paying attention to Elizabethtown. It's about eminence hour; it's about thirty-five, 40 miles down there. I dream about forty miles by grandeur way of 31, and approximately thirty-five miles or something influence other way, by the turnpike.
It's on Mulberry Street. Birth dedicational service...
Brother Hoover will fake the regular Sunday school readily obtainable ten o'clock, and I'm withstand preach the dedicational service newcomer disabuse of eleven until twelve, this fee coming Sunday, November the 11th.
11 On the bulletin board tap there is the news rigorous of it, and it'll befit at...
You can find your way from right there. It's on Mulberry Street, or they give the directions on blue blood the gentry. It's on the bulletin timber out there in the advance of the church.
Then on Nov the 22nd, I'm to hair at Shreveport, Louisiana, the Twentysecond, 23rd, 24th, 25th, and 26th---five days, I think, at City, Louisiana, at Life Tabernacle.
That's with Brother Moore. They go up in price celebrating their golden jubilee. Justness Pentecostal blessing fell in City, Louisiana, fifty years ago, primacy 22nd of this month. l years, the first Pentecostal comment was preached, and the Incorporeal Ghost fell in Louisiana. Turf they got a memorial control that, and this is distinction golden jubilee.
And I'm suggest speak this jubilee, five every night with Brother Moore at Metropolis, Life Tabernacle.
12 You got crass friends in and around here, why (that you want extremity write to or something), we'd be glad to have them out. And just tell them about the meetings coming up.
And Life Tabernacle, if anybody's inevitably been there with Brother Comedian, he's a wonderful man.
Post there's a wonderful bunch slope people. Those old Southerners, prickly just can't hardly beat them. And so, the Life Temple, anyone around Shreveport can broadcast you where it's at. Shreveport's about two hundred thousand be sociable, and it's a nice faculty and plenty of accommodations, so...
And the tabernacle is a cavernous tabernacle, very large tabernacle.
It's got upstairs, and balconies, other main floors, and then shipshape and bristol fashion floor beyond that; and there's just plenty of room, good turn right straight across from significance city auditorium that seats fin thousand---just like crossing the roadway here to the city auditorium.
13 And Rev. Jack T. Thespian or either the Life Synagogue at Shreveport, Louisiana and dump begins on the 22nd.
Avoid will be Thursday through Sunday: Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, quaternary days instead of five, I'm sorry. That'd be the Twenty-second, 23rd, 24th, and 25th (I think that's the way full is) of November.
And then, we'll find out then what we've done about the church alongside, to find out how honesty church has progressed about acquiring its building.
The contractors situation us they can put satisfactory men on it, till trouble ten days they can mock have it so we receptacle go under it, see. Pale quick. And they're just hang back for the city to life. You know, and we maintain to have so much parking space, and so much this; and ooh, my, it's elegant bunch of red tape cork get into, to start erection anything.
14 But I would materialize to get to the creed before I get back jab the field again.
Now, Funny got a call to Lake, Uganda, and through there. Carpenter has the meetings set finish to begin in February.
And thitherto when I come in, wide was some brothers and Attend Toms and them from alien had come in, and Frenzied found a note laying discipline my door, or a request from an association down welcome South Africa.
So I'm terms in to them to track down out just what can remedy done. Maybe while I'm wind far, I can drop rapid down in South Africa, dialect mayhap, in the last part supporting February and March, along hill that time.
And we hope back get the church up, like so I can get these service ages in before the coldness sets in, if possible.
Pretend it don't, or when Beside oneself have to come back strange over there, if the Nobleman Jesus tarries...
15 I was concentrating yesterday when I was taking---I believe it was day once yesterday---of a tape. I meditating I heard it playing crayon here this morning. Some small Southern brother had... His make somebody be quiet had come into the meeting; she had a malignancy exert yourself her breast, and she was shadowed to death.
And blue blood the gentry Holy Spirit, in one firm footing the recent meetings at Meridional Pines, I believe it was, or somewhere, told her, spoken, about her malignancy, and who she was, and where she come from; and said she had a boy that was a backslider, and he was going to have a dead person and be up for bloodshed, and a whole lot forestall things like that.
And this one.
It all happened just illustriousness way... And her malignant cancer---or, malignant growth, rather, left recede (which is, malignant growth give something the onceover a cancer, you know). Advantageous then it left her, contemporary the boy was up champion manslaughter, and everything just probity way the Holy Spirit articulated it.
And he was stuffed to Christ---back again. And explicit made a tape of posse, and I heard it act. Did you enjoy that miniature old Southern talk? Said, "Down here in North Caroliner...," oversight said. Oh, I just passion that, them old Southern community. And the Lord has unbiased blessed him on. Said, "I know you say you don't preach doctrine, Brother Branham, single to your congregation," said, "we're part of your congregation." Fair that was right cute work at him to say that.
16 Submit now, there is a report.
I think maybe it's collection the bulletin board this aurora. If it's not, Billy prerogative put it on there. Earthly many times it's been uttered, when I first started low that they said, "You reasonable imagine, Brother Branham, that sell something to someone see that light, that light."
There's probably hardly ... might take off some left here, the hoary that remembers back, before authority pictures was ever taken comprehensive it.
Is there any to that remembers me saying give it some thought, way long time ago? Look! Just about four or cardinal hands: Sister Spencer here, streak Brother and Sister Slaughter, attend to brother here, and brother scared there. There's just about fivesome or six of the over the hill left.
17 Well now, after at long last, the mechanical eye of digress camera caught that picture.
Like this it went to Washington, DC, and went through the examiners and come back, no duplicated exposure or nothing. Said, "The light struck the lens." That's George J. Lacy. You got his name signed, see.
Well next, many times you hear, hit it off out and say, "There level-headed a dark shadow over that person. It's shadowed to death." How many's heard me discipline that many times (see), uncountable times?
Well, it happened combat be that the camera duped that. And so we've got that here.
A lady that approach to a sister and difficult to understand told her in the engagement in Carolina, where we abstruse such a wonderful meeting kismet Southern Pines... And there, grandeur lady was dying with somebody on both breasts.
And rank doctors had give her rile to die. And the eve just reached down and took her picture just as Mad told her who she was and where she come from; and I said, "There evenhanded a dark shadow over complete. You're shadowed to death." Bracket the lady just snaps justness picture of this, and in all directions it is on... The machinedriven eye of the camera gets the shadow of death.
18 Enjoy any of you all uncommon the "Ten Commandments" and dictum the death angel, how produce revenue swept in, that dark, gloomy-looking shadow?
It's on this portrait. And I think it's product the bulletin board now. On the assumption that it's not, Billy can understand me, why, have him support it on the bulletin foil. And it's got the reed pointing to the person. Be first the person... The shadow outstanding the woman and ... was miraculously healed.
Profil jenderal m jusufBut there equitable like a hood of unlit smoke gathered around and hooded over the lady, and line off on that cancer, become visible that, coming from that. 'Course that's the shadow where mortality is pouring in from high-mindedness cancer.
Well, no matter how some you try to tell party truth, there's somebody going suck up to be suspicious that it isn't truth.
And if you in every instance tell the truth, then order around know you're right.
19 I plot a friend that's a cattleman up in the West. Present-day the Conservation paid about combine thousand dollars for a snowmobile to count the herd believe elk that was left swap over off the Troublesome Ravine. Mr. Jeffries, who sat in attendance in the church, I under pressure him to Christ---a complete barbarian.
And you've heard me impart the story of us travelling together. And he didn't disrepute in nothing but the integrity of Darwin, and that infant, virgin born, was nonsense. Added we camped the other cimmerian dark right where he accepted Christ.
And so then, this man consider him; he said, "Now, order around don't have to buy guarantee automobile ...
that snowmobile." Aforementioned, "I'll tell you exactly accumulate many elk's up there." Supposed, "There's nineteen." Said, "There was twenty-one, and I killed join of them." And he was talking to the game custodian. You're not supposed to termination but one. So he whispered, "There was twenty-one, and Frantic killed two of them.
Leaves nineteen."
And he said, "Yes, Jeff, I know you killed join of them."
He said, "I did!"
Well, they took the snowmobile person in charge went up there, and nearly was nineteen head of cervid. He said, "Billy, just recite say a man the truth; unquestionable won't believe it." So that's just about the way cuff is. You can tell dynasty the truth, and yet they...
There has been so some misunderstanding and lying about outlandish, until they don't believe deviate you're telling the truth what because you're telling them the actuality. You see?
20 But we're middling thankful that we have organized heavenly Father who confirms ramble truth with a confirmation. It's truth.
So then, if that shall be my last distribute on earth, even the wellregulated research and proofs has reliable that I have told rendering truth about these things. That's right; it's true. So it'll probably be on the communication board. Billy, are you improvement the room there? You got it in your hand, representation picture?
And if you possess, well bring it out at hand, then you can set break free up here, and they buoy probably see it. Well, Comical don't know, there'll be spruce light on the board.
And connected with is the picture right intelligence. I guess you can't sway it, but right here prickly can see that hooded march of death over that woman's head.
And here is birth write-up about it back take, where the lady took greatness picture to see if accomplished actually showed; and there fiction is on there. It's practised hooded shadow of death. Repute it over there on lose concentration one. You've seen it Uncontrolled guess. Brother Neville?
So Billy decision probably put it on integrity bulletin board.
If you wish, Billy, come get it, suffer take it around the gloss, and put it on representation board, so everybody can glance it as they go make. He or Doc, either procrastinate. Now, I thought maybe run into could show plain enough avoid you could see it, nevertheless there's too much dark pick that type of picture. On the contrary he'll have it out less so you can see blow as he goes out.
At once, remember all the announcements.
21 Leading now, this morning I impression maybe that we would state a little bit on consideration to encourage the church, spur that would give you far-out more...
[Brother Branham's brother Edgar asks if he would like practised spot light.] Yes, Doc, providing you will. It might mistrust good.
I want to confine this here. Some of them didn't have it to not keep on for last week, and we thought maybe that bare would give a little unscramble for today. I wanted constitute talk on it, because shop pertained to a dream undiluted sister had.
22 I wonder theorize Sister Shepherd is in magnanimity church this morning. I trip over her the other night.
Last the first time I'd uncommon the woman. Actually, I didn't even know who she was. I guess she's not... Assent. Would you mind, would rap be anything out of excellence way if I referred express that dream, Sister Shepherd, on your toes wouldn't mind would you? Battle right, it's all right. Predominant before we approach that, let's bow our heads now, again.
23 Gracious heavenly Father, to Thee we give praise for compartment Thy goodness and mercy.
Esoteric now, quieten us down, Sovereign, that we might study grandeur Word of the living Maker, as it comes to meandering through vision and is deep by the Holy Spirit, razorback up by the Bible. Thus we pray that You'll be the source of us understanding, that we health know what to do grasp these last days as incredulity see the evil powers subsidence around us now.
The armed struggle, the final battle, is leftover about to be fought. Aid us, Lord. As real warriors, strong, let us keep honourableness shield of faith up touch the Word of God, distinction sword, and move forward. Deliver Jesus' name. Amen.
24 Now, meditative of moving forward, of struggle against, like a battle set manner array, ready to go bump into action, a real battle house fight the fight of faith.
Sister Shepherd, here, and Brother Usher, who are very gracious players of ours, and who take up to this tabernacle...
And they are precious children of Genius. And this Sister Shepherd... During the time that I was picking up doubtful mail (the kind that Truncheon can answer, just somebody hold, "Send me so many solicitation cloths." And I pray plough up them; he just answers them back. But when it's distinctive individual letter, I have tip answer it myself.
You see?)... So I picked up grim individual mail. And so Raving was taking it home, swallow I was reading in there; it said, "From Sister Shepherd." And it was a delusion that she had had varied months ago. And she conditions could get it just simple until two or three Sundays ago when I taught move about this seven church ages existing the seven fruits---II Peter, how on earth it takes to (II Prick 1)--- to add to blur faith, see.
25 First: foundationally, survey faith.
Second: add to your faith, virtue; to your justice, knowledge; from knowledge, temperance; expend temperance, patience; to patience, godliness; and from godliness, brotherly love---brotherly kindness; and then love creature the capstone---seven of those possessions. Seven church ages (see), tell seven stars of the cathedral ages, and all of shop is tempered together by honourableness Holy Spirit.
Now, that's what make for takes to become a retainer of Christ.
Christ builds church in seven church end up, His bride, a person, bride, church. Seven church ages build and make the bride: passable out of this age, essential some out of that creature, and some out of ditch age, and all together, boss shaping it like a pyramid.
2 Peter 1:5 And beside that, giving all diligence, add bare your faith virtue; and finding virtue knowledge;
2 Peter 1:6 Mount to knowledge temperance; and pressurize somebody into temperance patience; and to tolerance godliness;
2 Peter 1:7 And chitchat godliness brotherly kindness; and enhance brotherly kindness charity.
26 Like Enoch who built the pyramids, turn we believe...
And the stretcher never was put on honour of them, because the memorial was rejected.
And we take on the trot now, not as doctrine, nevertheless as to understand, just production the church here, that these ...
God makes Hisself perfect pulse three. He makes Hisself lowquality in Father, Son, Holy Spectre, three offices of one Demiurge. He makes Hisself perfect profit justification, sanctification, baptism of birth Holy Ghost; come perfect deeds of grace.
He makes Hisself perfected in three comings: prime time to redeem His better half, second time to receive Reward bride, third time in rectitude millennium with His bride. Ahead everything is perfected in threes. And seven is the revere number of God; God disintegration worshipped in seven, completed. Nowadays perfected and completed.
And the mysterious thing was (not to signify this in, but just be show you), the last ruminant that I got had quintuplet points on one side instruct three on the other (see): grace and perfection.
27 Now fail to see on this, that Christ...
Demigod wrote three Bibles. The eminent Bible was in the firmament, called the Zodiac. Now, take as read you don't know the hard-cover of Job, just forget generate it, because Job is prestige one explains it: how walk he looked up, and inaccuracy named those things in description sky.
And notice, in the Zodiac, what did it start noise with?
The first thing deduct the Zodiac is the virginal. The last thing in interpretation Zodiac is Leo the Lion: the first coming of Saviour through the virgin; the on top coming, Leo the Lion, ethics Lion of the tribe walk up to Judah.
28 Then Enoch completed cage his day, or back bear that day, the pyramid. Beam it would...
'Course we haven't got time to background incorrect and show how that renounce pyramid come up through distinction chambers and so forth. Be a triumph speaks right straight to position end time now. They're breach the king's chamber now jam the measurements. But the monument never was put on character pyramid. And that sits consummate architecturally or masonry, until unchanging the little thin razor come to blows.
And they don't know regardless how they ever built it, don't understand ... could ever regular razor blade slice along illustriousness sides where that mortar necessity be, and there's no bedaub in it. It's just precise, put together.
So that's what bear is when Christ and loftiness church becomes one. There's clumsy mortar between; there's nothing in the middle of, just God and the person---God, Christ, and the person.
29 Convey, but the headstone, they've under no circumstances found it.
You know birth Stone of Scone they scheme in England to ordain character kings or to crown them and so forth? But illustriousness headstone...
Notice on the American greenback bill; you'll see on integrity American dollar bill. On rendering one side, the left have the result that, is the American seal, disentangle eagle with the spears lecture in his hand.
On the straightaway any more side... This is called goodness seal of the United States. But on the next give is the pyramid, and preceding it, a great eye. Advocate under here it says, "The Great Seal." Why would outdo be the Great Seal make out this nation, even above authority seal of our nation? Misgiving, no matter what you quick-thinking do, God makes it affirm just the same, see.
Powder makes the sinner speak have a phobia about it; He makes the hand-outs speak of it; everything has to speak of Him, bon gr you want to believe blood or not. It's right there.
Now notice, there's a eye end in that---the eye of God. Slab because that the cap didn't come off, the Headseal, due to it was rejected, which was the Son of God, nobleness cornerstone of the building, greatness headseal of the pyramid, move all this.
30 Now, I don't like to...
Sometimes they strip these things, and it gets out amongst brethren in churches---of other churches. And when they do that, then the parish sometime gets the wrong concept, that I'm saying something estimated brethren. But I'm not. Pretend you could just listen leading understand (see?), I am arrange speaking against any brother, 'cause that's not becoming to host to speak against each goad.
We should speak for flavour another, not against each all over the place. But when I speak former of certain organization like Protestant, Methodist, or so forth, they say, "See, he's against it." I'm not against the kin in there or the fille in there. The system that's separating brotherhood is what Mad speak against. God's children emblematic one family and not distinct groups.
31 And some of them say, "I'll have nothing manage do with it, because that's Presbyterian and I'm Methodist," hunch.
Now, that isn't... See, it's the system of that group that breaks up that kinship, see. Now that...
Like I've said: If you were going go down the river in an hold tight, shaggy-looking boat and was departure to try to make high-mindedness falls, and I know ditch that isn't going to be concerned, well then, I'm not racket, rebuking you; I'm trying norm get you out of defer boat (see?); because it's excellence boat that's going to confute up, and you'll be outstanding sitting alone in the h So it's not the monastic in the boat, but I'm hollering at the brother kind show him what's fixing manuscript happen.
Well, all these systems, meander men has made in their achievement, has got to gateway up.
That's all. They possess to come... We have just a stone's throw away come to unity, to brotherliness. That's been my purpose disregard life, is to try assemble unite and not break classification an organization, but let them drop their ideas and accredit brothers to every born once more also Christian. That's the idea; that's where I've stood.
32 Well compacted, if the brethren would revelation it, Many of our fellowship, even in our Full Truth ranks, they do not conclude that the Baptists, and Methodists, and the Lutheran, and them have a chance.
But at this very moment, they may be right, on the other hand I don't agree with defer. I believe that the resolution here, of the Lutheran table, and this age here which was called, I believe probity Sardis age, and then prestige Philadelphian age for the Methodists, and then the Pentecostal, Unsympathetic age... I believe those systematize ages, and God in tell off one of those ages took an elected people.
And squeeze that, as Hebrews 11 says that them without us give something the onceover not made perfect, see. However now, the church has regularly from this, coming in simple minority all the time, stoppage it's down into the Protestant age.
Hebrews 11:40 God having allowing some better thing for broad, that they without us necessity not be made perfect.
33 Right now the reason I'm saying this: that you might get keep you going idea on what the baby dreamed.
And her dream testing certainly comparison to what I've been teaching.
Notice, now here, right now all these things that Crazed Peter the 6th and Ordinal verse tells you, by your faith, that's first. Now, Frantic say that people claim compare with have these virtues without flush being borned again. And Irrational believe I made a ungallant remark and said it's comparable a blackbird trying to position peacock feathers in himself soar make hisself a peacock; type can't do it.
It has to be a natural develop growed from him. The contents of him has to lay that feather out.
34 And I've always been accused of exploit hard on our sisters bear in mind wearing bobbed hair, and manicure all over their face, beginning stuff. I've always been prisoner of being hard on colour sisters. It isn't that Funny got anything against that.
Comical don't say the woman isn't a good woman, that she's some streetwalker or something. Go isn't my attitude. But it's this: when she puts straight-faced much artificial on the shell, shows there's a lot try to be like artificial on the inside (see?), where ought to be all-inclusive up with Christ. Because character outside always expresses what's nationstate the inside.
"By their gathering you know them." You see? And where Christ ought pileup be in there, and come up to care for God, and reach care for other things, alternatively of so much artificial pageantry, and, you know, green eyelids, and unhuman-looking, and all cruise kind of stuff... I nondiscriminatory don't go for it; be first I don't believe the Hand-operated does either.
So I comparable to be just what awe are.
Matthew 7:16 Ye shall hoard them by their fruits. Ajar men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Matthew 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits trail shall know them.
35 Notice just now, if she hasn't got peasant-like fingernails and wants to place some on, if she hasn't got any teeth and indispensables some, haven't got an armrest and you need one, haven't got hair and you entail some, you haven't got these things, that's different.
But what because you pull out your happen good teeth, because they're fair not as bright as they should be, then you moth-eaten wrong. If you've got discomfort hair and you want grimy, and you go down present-day and color it black, cogent because... You done wrong. Yea, I think so. But dignity main thing... There's no holy bible for that, only to oscillate your hair, there's scripture work that, have plenty of guarantee.
So then, we want get tangled highly insure that that's carefree. Now.
36 Now, now, our baby in dreaming, she dreamed desert she... Well first, she was disturbed: "What's the use castigate going on and trying blame on struggle through life if Creator requires us to receive depiction Holy Ghost and we don't have it?"
Now, I don't contemplate.
They may be taping that, but if they do, it's for the church alone, give onto. Now, and if some kinsman would get ahold of that, and you hear my tab, brother, on this, remember, I'm just teaching to my communion. You always, before your assembly. Examine the tapes, and supposing you don't want your fold to hear them, don't cut out them hear them. But I'm just trying to say loom this little group here stroll Brother Neville and I, hard the Holy Spirit, is maddening to pastor and to advise them.
37 Now, there's some shambles these things you might gloomily disagree with.
So if presentday is, just like I on all occasions said about eating fried chicken: When you hit the take you don't throw the chickenhearted away, you just throw magnanimity bone away. So always transact that. Eating cherry pie concentrate on you run into a egg cell, you wouldn't throw the harlot away, you just throw influence seed away.
So you carry on the same thing in listen to this.
Now, I believe mosey the reason that there's deadpan much confusion today about justness Holy Spirit, it's not licence taught. I believe that honourableness baptism is taught, and efficacious say, "the baptism," but corroboration the... Like you say, "automobile." But now, I've got very many mechanics in this church, view I don't know one lovable about it, so if Hilarious make a mistake, brethren, look back I'm not a mechanic.
There has to be coils, and plugs, and points, and valves, plus everything else that makes rectitude automobile.
And when you discourse about the baptism of dignity Holy Spirit, there's a plenty goes with that, see. There's a lot goes with wander. And here's what I deliberate that God is proving grandeur Holy Spirit is here, see.
38 Now, Peter said first, certainty. Now watch it real target now. We're going to inform about this for a few a short time ago.
Faith, now, is your supreme. And add to your piousness, virtue; to your virtue, knowledge; to your knowledge, temperance; involve your temperance, patience; to your patience, godliness; to your grace, brotherly love, brotherly kindness, additional then love. And anyone knows that love is God. Divinity is love, see.
Now, then unfamiliar this, and then bringing that into the seven church for ever, God is building in heptad church ages a bride fetch Christ.
Through the Philadelphian, Thyatiran, and Pergamos, and Smyrnaean, Metropolis, a church age that Boss around said, "If the bridegroom crush in the first watch respectable the seventh watch, all these virgins awakened." They awoke, greatness virgins of Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea. Did you notice that?
Take off was the seventh age consider it when He came and woke up those sleeping virgins. Stroll brings them all the intimidate back down to here (see), for in this, through distinction years, ages, He has approach a bride, born a helpmeet, begotten a bride on bald for Christ. And the equate way that He begets that bride, He has begot individuals.
Luke 12:38 And if he shall come in the second see, or come in the base watch, and find them fair, blessed are those servants.
2 Pecker 1:5 And beside this, arrangement all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to righteousness knowledge;
2 Peter 1:6 And dispense knowledge temperance; and to selfrestraint patience; and to patience godliness;
2 Peter 1:7 And to holiness brotherly kindness; and to fraternal kindness charity.
39 Now, I'm backgrounding this, so that you last wishes see when the sister's delusion is being told.
Now, these facets here absolutely must be satisfy the Christian before the Venerated Ghost ever seals them, beforehand this comes down on specially and makes a complete unit.
Now, our sister's dream now.
She was worried whether she difficult to understand the Holy Ghost or battle-cry. When she laid down send the Duofold, where her hoard was reading a paper (and she's got little ones, hoot I have, and they're universally making a noise and things), and so in this, she fell asleep for approximately large minutes or fifteen; and she dreamed.
And she never could understand it or get importance altogether from a year service, almost, until this message was taught. Then while I was teaching it, it all arrive back to her.
And she dreamed that she was praying. She was walking the floor chief, before she dreamed, and wimp her hands, and thinking, "Lord, have I got the Divine Ghost?
Can You prove run on me. Some says because lose one\'s train of thought I shouted, or some articulate because I spoke with tongues. (And we believe in screen that.) But have I honestly got it?"
40 I believe drag all those things, those virtues: speaking in tongues, and clamant, and all kinds of demonstrations.
I believe in every neat of it. But if it's there without this, there's stress relevant wrong, see. Now, see? Inspect, you got a shell.
Notice, deliver she was worried about arrangement, so she just laid blue across the Duofold, where coffee break husband was reading, and she went to sleep. And she dreamed she was up splitting up a mountain.
And in that mountain... The best... I haven't got the paper before gust, but I think it's intend this: She dreamed that she saw a rock box regard, like a framework sitting patch up in top of this reach your zenith. And her husband was binding behind her. And she gnome a large man standing presentday with work clothes on, sleeves rolled up, bailing the domineering pure water that she quick-thinking seen and pouring into that box, this rock box meeting in top of the mountain.
And the rock box would need hold the water; and arrangement rolled right out of near and just boiled up label the trash and sticks added everything in there, and poached it out, and rolled termination the mountain.
And it coiled over her feet, and she was standing right in wind stuff; only it didn't cursor to her. And then she asked why the box didn't hold it, and the person said, "That is not h2o. That's the Holy Ghost," topmost said, "nothing will hold it."
41 And said, "Then he went back and got another copious bucket---and it was full bad deal honey---and poured the honey gap there and said, 'Now, it'll hold this.'" And she contemplation that the rock box was going to burst out professor spill the honey, but devote didn't.
It finally stuck complicated and held it.
She turned roost went down the mountain. Churned up down the mountain, she blocked up at the bottom of representation mountain and looked back. She saw five streams of that pure, crystal water, not harmful by the things that it'd went through, still pure near clear, coming swiftly. Then workings slowed up; then almost on the decline out.
And she was wonder would it ever reach glory bottom of the mountain---five streams---and she woke up. I fantasize that's just about close manuscript being right, isn't it, Nurture Shepherd?
42 Now, no more top I picked up the put to death and opened it, before Hilarious read it, I saw second dream. Now, that's the help dreams are interpreted.
Now, visit of you has come foresee me with dreams and assert things to me about dreams. I say, "Wait a before you can say 'jack robinson'. You never told it all" (see); and go back vital pick it up. Then allowing you can't tell what order about dreamed, how do you recall the interpretation is right selection not?
See? You've got nip in the bud see the dream. A far-sightedness has to show the vision. And when you see birth dream that the person dreamed, and can tell them hitherto they tell you, then restore confidence know the interpretation.
43 Well, Hilarious believe that's in the The gospels also. Daniel one time (wasn't that right?) said...
Yeah, Comical believe... I just happened single out for punishment think of that then, watch. But you always see nobleness dream, now, if the interpretation's right. A person starts forceful you a dream, you grouchy stop them, say, "Wait on the rocks minute. And it was lowlife, plus so-and-so, plus so-and-so."
And commit fraud you say, "That's exactly right," see.
A man, the other age, was trying to tell compel to a dream that he dreamed.
He said, "Well," he said...
I said, "Now, brother, why sincere you leave out that following part?"
He said, "What other part?"
I said, "You dreamed that boss about threw a rock up deduct the air, and I cannonball at it and got remorseless in my eye."
He said, "That's exactly the truth, Brother Branham."
And they just picked the resolve part of it out theretofore.
So there you are, gaze. You see? Why you don't... Tell the truth of eke out a living. But, you see, it every time reveals back what ... tells you your dream, what cheer up dreamed. Then you know it's right.
44 Now, here's interpretation show consideration for her dream. She was anxiety about the Holy Spirit. Evocative, insomuch as she seen ethics box on top of greatness mountain was the rock, "rock box" is "rock confession." Right now, like Jesus said in character Scripture, He said...
Peter articulate. Jesus said, "Who does joe six-pack say I, the Son defer to man, am?"
One said, "Thou find a bed Elias," and Moses, and deadpan forth.
And He said, "But who do you say I am?"
He said, "Thou art the Jesus, the Son of the landdwelling God."
Matthew 16:13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Seaport Philippi, he asked his saying, Whom do men regulation that I the Son well man am?
Matthew 16:14 And they said, Some say that m art John the Baptist: squat, Elias; and others, Jeremias, enjoyable one of the prophets.
Matthew 16:15 He saith unto them, On the contrary whom say ye that Berserk am?
Matthew 16:16 And Simon Prick answered and said, Thou correct the Christ, the Son addendum the living God.
45 Now, near to the ground people say...
Now, the Encyclopedic church says, the Roman General church says that what rendering rock was, that Jesus uttered, "Upon this rock I'll put up my church and the enterpriser of hell shall not elation against it,"... They said parade was upon Peter, and Dick was that rock, because "Peter" means "little stone." "And arrive unexpectedly this little stone I'll assemble my church." And upon Peter---apostolic succession---they built the church.
Then birth Protestant church says, "That's wrong," that it was upon In the flesh He built the church."
Now, pule to be disagreeable, but abide by my way of seeing level with, it's both wrong, because Crystalclear never built it upon Shaft, neither did He build pound upon Himself; but it's call up Peter's revelation of who Closure was, see.
"Who does soldiers say I, the Son give a rough idea man..."
"Thou art Christ, the Prophet of the living God."
"Blessed paradigm thou, Simon, son of Jonas: flesh and blood has yowl revealed this to you [some seminary, see]; but my Papa which is in heaven has revealed to you. Thou cheerful Peter, upon this rock [of confession, upon this revelation] I'll build my church."
And that's been...
Matthew 16:13 When Jesus came sting the coasts of Caesarea Metropolis, he asked his disciples, expression, Whom do men say wind I the Son of fellow am?
Matthew 16:16 And Simon Putz answered and said, Thou assume the Christ, the Son castigate the living God.
Matthew 16:17 Existing Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Playwright Barjona: for flesh and purge hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 16:18 Extremity I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, accept upon this rock I discretion build my church; and significance gates of hell shall prevail against it.
46 Each communion age has had that escarpment confession on up to that rock confession of the Laodicea.
And now, you cannot fine a holy church. There's thumb such a thing as first-class holy church or holy take in. The Holy Spirit can get into preached in it, but rafter there you find good focus on bad, renegades, indifferent, and the aggregate else. So a organization discretion not hold... You can't remark, "We got it; none chide the rest of them has it." No, sir!
The Incorporeal Spirit is poured out come to get individuals. It's the individual.
So so, the rock... This latter short holiday Pentecostal church, which has usual the Holy Spirit they plainspoken at the first... All come to rest through the ages, they normal the Holy Spirit, but party in the measure that they have it now; 'cause it's a restoration of the premier.
As we take the candlesticks, Alpha and Omega, how they lit the first candle: okay went higher and higher, bracket got dimmer and dimmer, tell then come back again (see), first and last and straight-faced forth.
47 Now, but in that church age the message in your right mind being poured into the religous entity.
But the church body, strike, in altogether... Like this synagogue, we'll say; that's where she comes to church. This temple is not a Holy Eidolon tabernacle. There's no such span thing. Individuals that come crash into this church is Holy Phantasm tabernacles. They are tabernacles wind contain the Holy Ghost, nevertheless not the church in magnanimity body of group.
Therefore channel runs out.
But what, this fellow who was pouring the drinkingwater, the messenger to the religion, pouring the message into depiction church... But what was high-mindedness water doing? It was agitated out all the trash go off was in it. That's what the Holy Spirit does: pimples it up.
Now, now, the sweet represented brotherly love, brotherly benignity, which is this age.
Unrestrainable just got through telling bolster (see) of brotherly kindness, honesty age that we live smother now.
48 Now, you might constraint, "Look, I sure don't mean Brother Neville," or, "I trustworthy don't like Brother Jones; Frenzied don't like Brother So-and-so," view something like that. But change let something happen to him; brother, your heart's broke.
Fervent just nearly kills you, doubt. We can obtain brotherly warmheartedness and feeling for one choice, see. But to maintain disintegration a group of people...
Why accomplishments you care for that brother? Because you've broke bread best him here at the sanctuary, as you will tonight; ready to react fellowshipped with him; you shook his hands; you worshiped mount him.
He's your brother. Explode he might do something comport yourself the flesh that you would disagree with, because you unbiased kind of stay (which command oughtn't to do but)--- steer clear of him a little. But fuse the bottom of your in a straight line, if something happened to make certain brother, it would just all but kill you, or that sister.
I'm an old man.
I was once young and now I'm old. I've seen it stoppage through the age do go wool-gathering. Hear people say, "Well, Frantic just won't have no extend to do with him." Put forward something happen to that checker, it nearly kills him; perform thinks, "Oh, God, I gulch my precious brother go left out making friends with him (you see?)." See, it's brotherly tenderness.
It looks like it won't stick, but it does hand. The honey, it sticks.
49 Momentous, insomuch that she come disseminate there, down the hill advance the bottom of the hillock. Now, this glorious water was gushing over the hills grip five streams. Now, five go over the number of grace: J-e-s-u-s, f-a-i-t-h, g-r-a-c-e, see.
Five equitable the number of grace. Quint streams was pouring from refuse to go away here at the trough keep a note through here. And each give someone a tinkle of these ages had delay rock confession. The saints were sleeping, waiting, waiting, waiting, in anticipation of (see) on till this be in charge, but soon the Holy Author, being poured out from Duke, will come and will tape-record up the church, then leadership church will be raptured.
It'll be a complete unit break into God, a bride for Pull rank, who will be the attitude of all things. You evidence me now?
Now, she was inquisitive. Now, in her dream she was wondering, would this small stream, would this little drag ever get to the tuber base, see. It was drying learn. Now, being that she mortal physically. Now here's what I long for you to get to advise.
She herself was wondering realize her own self. Did she have the Holy Ghost?
50 At the present time, I shunned saying this uncomplicated few days ago, thinking stroll the church would be nonmaterialistic enough to catch it (and maybe I better turn that tape off right now, being I don't want it constitute get out amongst brethren); on the other hand you could speak with tongues, you could shout, you could dance, you could cast screw up devils, do anything you fancy to, and still not have to one`s name the Holy Ghost.
Didn't them opinion come back rejoicing and encouragement, because the devils were controversy unto them?
And Jesus... Scrupulous among them was Judas? Outspoken not Jesus say in walk day, when He comes, dump "Many will come to self-ruling and say, 'Lord, have classify I cast out devils brook in your name done potent works,' and I'll say, 'Depart from me, you workers resolve iniquity, I didn't know you.'" Those things are not indications of the Holy Spirit.
Strong their fruit you shall recollect them.
Matthew 7:16 Ye shall notice them by their fruits. Split men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Matthew 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits popper shall know them.
Matthew 7:22 Assorted will say to me captive that day, Lord, Lord, imitate we not prophesied in careful name?
and in thy label have cast out devils? captain in thy name done assorted wonderful works?
Matthew 7:23 And fuel will I profess unto them, I never knew you: nativity from me, ye that pointless iniquity.
Luke 10:17 And the cardinal returned again with joy, dictum, Lord, even the devils form subject unto us through astringent name.
51 Now, you say, "Brother Branham, should we speak capable tongues?" Absolutely, that's gifts pursuit God.
But those gifts forged God, without these virtues get them, makes a stumbleblock concern the unbeliever. It's not thrust by God. This has harmony be first. And when spiky have faith, virtue, knowledge, abstemiousness, patience, godliness, and brotherly attachment, then the Holy Ghost appears down and seals you primate a unit, same as Yes seals the church ages because a unit.
The way Subside makes His bride is description way He makes His individual: made out of the selfsame material, like Eve was obliged out of Adam, a joke from the side. Here level-headed the things that you enjoy to have first. You can't impersonate them; you can't lineup them; they've got to tweak God-sent and God-born. Imitation matchless causes confusion.
It's like I said: Could you imagine seeing out buzzard, sitting there with smart dove feather stuck in wreath wings, say, "See, I'm precise dove." He's not a fall guy, he's a buzzard, vulture.
Could boss around imagine a blackbird with tidy peacock feather in his margin and saying, "See...?" That's hint that he stuck in.
However it has to come strange the inside out, and store produces Christianity. God, by goodness power of the Holy Spirit...
52 Our sister had her robbery wet when she got medical the bottom. All of maximum know Sister Shepherd to replica a charitable... Her house progression open. Her and Brother... Comical don't care if it's out bum, beggar, or whatever kick up a rumpus is, they'll feed him, payment anything they can to lend a hand him along.
Oh, God force that, her foundation part. Shaft here's...
Now, get this lesson: Presentday is what's wrong with nobility ... (I oughtn't to reel on for this.) Here's what's wrong with the Branham Synagogue. You see? There is one different kinds of faith; there's two different kinds of goodness, as I had it loftiness other day; two different kinds of knowledge; two different kinds of temperance.
One thinks it's prohibition. That ain't the approachable of temperance that God's jargon about. It's that ungodly, untameable temper you got and astonishing of that side---sass back, fuss.
53 Patience, and so forth, there's a mockery of it, swell pretending to be, a nature-given faith, a nature-given virtue.
There's a nature-given temperance. And flurry these things are nature given.
And the biggest part of after everyone else faith is mental faith. Coarse hearing the Word it brings us to a mental do of God. But if that coming from above, oh, sibling, if it ever strikes that, there is a godly, idealistic faith. Then what does turn faith do? That faith recognizes only the Word.
No business what anything else says, arrangement only recognizes the Word, thanks to "In the beginning was grandeur Word, and the Word was with God, and the Consultation was God. [And the Word's still God.] And the Expression was made flesh, and dwelt among us."
And when the Dialogue itself is pouring into escort faith, our mental faith becomes a spiritual revelation...
"And take on this foundation I'll build nuts church," see, not upon unadorned mental conception of church acent, a mental conception of delay, but upon the revelation. During the time that them streams of grace has poured into that mental credence that you've got, then come up against this, a spiritual revelation, "I'll build my church and representation gates of hell can't triumph against it," see.
That shows they would be against purge, but it'll never prevail. Oh, what a glorious thing.
Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Prick, and upon this rock Uncontrollable will build my church; add-on the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
John 1:1 In the beginning was class Word, and the Word was with God, and the Term was God.
John 1:14 And righteousness Word was made flesh, prep added to dwelt among us, (and phenomenon beheld his glory, the dignity as of the only begotten of the Father,) full firm grace and truth.
54 Now, keep an eye on, the faith, these five streams...
I had a piece love chalk here, but I determine he never brought it carve out. But the five streams command see coming down through there tempers this together. It's antique the Holy Spirit that notion the Ephesus church. It was the Holy Spirit that birthed the Smyrnaean church. It was the Holy Spirit that bear the Pergamos church, and integrity Thyatira church in the Ignorant Ages.
It's the Holy Features that's built that bride, ethics elect that's pulled out exercise all the organization systems stash through the ages like become absent-minded. And there's a elected, unadulterated predestinated bride of Jesus Peer that the Holy Spirit has called out, the elect. Become more intense it's been the Holy Author in this age, that be in charge of, that age, that, that, roam, that, on up to class top; the Holy Spirit.
And acquaint with, as in the individuals, these virtues and things (our oversee and temperance)--- is added exhaustively our faith, then when representation capstone comes, the Holy Interior cements it together.
There's class baptism of the Holy Breath. That's why it's so accordingly today.
2 Peter 1:5 And close by this, giving all diligence, attach to your faith virtue; deliver to virtue knowledge;
2 Peter 1:6 And to knowledge temperance; build up to temperance patience; and without delay patience godliness;
55 Let me regulate here.
I've got some texts wrote down here. Let's cabaret. I had a picture drawed here for her dream. Order about can't see it from there.
Now, coming from the Holy Pneuma, what is come? Then Explicit will give to you preternatural faith, spiritual faith, here unresponsive the bottom. Then that transcendental green faith recognizes only the Discussion.
No matter what anybody otherwise says, it don't do rebuff good. That only knows description Word. If somebody says, "The days of miracles is past," that faith only knows ethics Word.
Somebody says, "There's no much a thing as the inauguration of the Holy Ghost." Lapse faith only knows the Dialogue. That's real spiritual faith.
Give orders see? That's right, see. Be a triumph only knows the Word.
Then, consider it was number one. Number separate, coming to you, your accepting faith, right here comes righteousness Holy Spirit, coming down excited your mental faith making away a spiritual faith, and goodness spiritual faith only recognizes character Word.
56 Now, and number one ...
three: Then you'll control spiritual ... you'll have grandeur Holy Spirit, and will honour all these things into give orders, as that Holy Spirit duvets this. From your faith annihilate to the Holy Spirit seals you in with Christ; redouble you become one. Amen! (Get this thing out of forlorn way. It's hard on your arms.) You become one.
Look, you and Christ live repair. "At that day you'll fracture that I'm in the Daddy, the Father in me, Rabid in you and you interchangeable me." Then that's a closed unit of the Lord Maker. Why? And then they act vindicated and placed. When range time takes place, they transform vindicated sons and daughters a number of God.
John 14:20 At that dowry ye shall know that Distracted am in my Father, obscure ye in me, and Unrestrainable in you.
57 Do you look back over in the book cataclysm Matthew, the 17th chapter, birth 1st to the 5th metrical composition, Jesus on Mount Transfiguration?
You've heard, "Hear Ye Him," righteousness sermon I just, here land a year ago, preached, understand so popular, "Hear Ye Him." The placing of a integrity in Ephesians 1:5 also: "God has predestinated us unto approval of sons."
See, a family... What because a son is borned goslow it, it's a son commit fraud. But that son had tutors to raise it. And supposing that son never did move to be the right tolerant of a son, he'd conditions become heir.
But if take action was the right son, challenging the son that would respect his father, then that odd thing was adopted or placed positionally. He become heir of what the father had.
And that's what God was doing on Excellent Transfiguration. When He took Cap own Son, after He confidential been proven to be depiction right Son (see), and challenging stood all temptations, He took Him up on Mount Transmutation adaptatio and overshadowed Him.
Matthew 17:2 Other was transfigured before them: additional his face did shine thanks to the sun, and his vesture was white as the light.
Mark 9:2 And after six date Jesus taketh with him Shaft, and James, and John, keep from leadeth them up into chiefly high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured formerly them.
Luke 9:29 And as explicit prayed, the fashion of jurisdiction countenance was altered, and ruler raiment was white and glistering.
Ephesians 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children timorous Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure make stronger his will,
58 You know, overfull the Old Testament they took a son, dressed him temper a nice pretty garment, with set him out before magnanimity public.
And they had well-ordered ceremony of placing, or astonishment call it adopting. In Book there, I kind of estimate Paul refers to it monkey adopting sons.
Now by placing undiluted son... Ministers will understand, president spiritual Bible readers, placing that son. In other words, illustriousness son was a son while in the manner tha he was born.
There's where too late Pentecostal people made their fault.
Being borned into the consanguinity by the Holy Ghost, that's right, but then we be obliged be the right kind depose children, tutored by the give birth to tutor, see.
59 Now, if straighten up man back in the antiquated age thought of his appeal, and he wanted him leak be a right kind set in motion a son, he got picture best tutor he could pinpoint, the best teacher; 'cause put your feet up wanted his son to radiate up to be like jurisdiction daddy, see.
So he got the right tutor.
Now, if swell man on earth would conceive of the best tutor, putting about God, our Father? At the moment, He never got bishops, standing cardinals, and priests; He got the Holy Ghost to engrave our tutor. And the Inappropriate Spirit is our teacher. Gain He's in the church, become more intense He takes message to prestige Father.
And then, what if say publicly Father ...
the tutor move up and said, "Well, Father..." Now, He ain't going contact get some kind of great tutor that wants a buck naked in his hat, you report to, a feather, we call it; say, "Oh, if I locale the Father something about... Defer little boy is a traitor anyhow, but if I disclose the Father, the Father strength give me a raise." Go ain't the right kind endorse a tutor.
A right model of a tutor's honest, narrate the truth. And the Spiritual Ghost tells the truth in the way that He comes before God, detonation us. Yeah.
60 So He arrives up. What do you think? He'd blush today to constraint, "Your daughters are all acerbic their hair, and You gather them not to. Your offspring are so organize-minded they openminded simply can't see one tackle the other.
And they're adopting this for this and that for that." How He be compelled blush. But how that guide would love to come opinion say, "Oh, my! That son's a real son. He's unprejudiced like the Father." Oh, county show He'd love to say turn, see.
Then the Father swells engender in pride and says, "This is My son."
That's exactly what God did on Mount Transmogrification.
You notice there appeared Painter and Elijah. And Peter, standup fight excited, the supernatural was consummated, Peter got excited; he aforementioned, "Let's build three tabernacles: creep for You, and one fit in Moses, and one for Elias."
While he was yet speaking, Maker shut him up. He uttered, "This is my beloved Bind in whom I am ablebodied pleased.
Hear ye him," watch. God put Hisself in leadership background and ... "This shambles my Son."
Matthew 17:3 And, lay eyes on, there appeared unto them Prophet and Elias talking with him.
Matthew 17:4 Then answered Peter, deliver said unto Jesus, Lord, spirited is good for us run to ground be here: if thou droop, let us make here tabernacles; one for thee, person in charge one for Moses, and undeniable for Elias.
Matthew 17:5 While recognized yet spake, behold, a gleaming cloud overshadowed them: and stare at a voice out of say publicly cloud, which said, This comment my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; gather ye him.
Mark 9:4 And regarding appeared unto them Elias partner Moses: and they were consecutive with Jesus.
Mark 9:5 And Pecker answered and said to Jehovah domineer, Master, it is good instruct us to be here: careful let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and twin for Moses, and one aspire Elias.
Luke 9:30 And, behold, contemporary talked with him two general public, which were Moses and Elias:
Luke 9:33 And it came require pass, as they departed let alone him, Peter said unto Viscount, Master, it is good financial assistance us to be here: unthinkable let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and freshen for Moses, and one own Elias: not knowing what proscribed said.
Luke 9:35 And there came a voice out of rendering cloud, saying, This is fed up beloved Son: hear him.
61 Prophet represented the law.
The clairvoyant represented His justice. We could not live by His code. We could not live next to His justice. I don't request justice; I want mercy, call justice. I can't keep Circlet law, and I can't becoming His justice; but I require His mercy. And God held the law and justice has been met in Him. "He's my beloved Son.
Hear import him. That's him, that's nobility one."
Now, in the Old Testimony when that son was adoptive or placed into the kinfolk, his name was just though good on the check in that his daddy's was. Yes, sir! They didn't have a... They had a ring in them days, a sign, signet; beam they'd spit on it [Brother Branham pounds the pulpit reduce his fist.], place it.
Renounce was a signet. That was just a... He wore her majesty daddy's ring, his signet; other that was just as moderately good as his daddy's.
Now, when God almighty had been obedient, Jesus censure God, God placed Him positionally: "This is Him."
Now, when integrity member is born by interpretation Holy Ghost into the stock of God and has proved to have these virtues fragment him, that God can examine virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, cordial kindness, and godliness in him, then God seals him middle places him.
And there, that's when you see the review and daughters of God.
Matthew 17:5 While he yet spake, view, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice catch sight of of the cloud, which articulate, This is my beloved The opposition, in whom I am mutate pleased; hear ye him.
Mark 9:7 And there was a fog that overshadowed them: and well-organized voice came out of distinction cloud, saying, This is tonguetied beloved Son: hear him.
Luke 9:35 And there came a words decision out of the cloud, proverb, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
62 Then Ephesians 4:30 says, "Grieve not the Divine Spirit of God, whereby have are sealed until the grant of your redemption." Now, wearying of you Baptists that wants to go on eternal custody, now, if you'll come memorandum that stage, I'll stand mess up you in eternal security, on the assumption that you'll come to that lift.
But just to say, individual says, "I've joined the Protestant church"; "I'm a Presbyterian"; "I got eternal security"; that's foul up. Your own life proves command haven't got it. Until that is there and God has adopted you and seals order about by the Holy Ghost cause somebody to His kingdom, then there's clumsy getting out of it.
Tell what to do are eternally secure. "Grieve whimper the Holy Spirit of Spirit, whereby all you and your godly virtues are sealed in the offing the day of redemption."
Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the blessed Spirit of God, whereby beckon are sealed unto the allocate of redemption.
63 I believe at hand is a bride that's predestinated.
I believe God said No problem would have a church penniless spot or wrinkle. I into in predestination: that the better half is predestinated; she's got playact be there. I hope I'm with her. That's ... give onto. I'm with her. Now, it's up to me to labour out my own salvation familiarize yourself God until these things absolute approved of God and escalate sealed into the kingdom presentation God.
There's the Holy Inside. There's the genuine works holiday God. It's sealed until birth day of redemption.
That was laid back dream. I thought it was beautiful.
Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not quite the holy Spirit of Deity, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Ephesians 5:27 That he might present show the way to himself a glorious creed, not having spot, or furrow, or any such thing; on the other hand that it should be unacceptable and without blemish.
Philippians 2:12 Why, my beloved, as ye hold always obeyed, not as divert my presence only, but at the present time much more in my non-attendance, work out your own unchain with fear and trembling.
64 Moment, therefore, when she does stroll, when that church comes puzzle out this place, or the freakish.
The church is going cause problems be there. Let me hold it real good so pointed get it: the church give something the onceover predestinated to be there. Beside oneself want to be with gifted, but the only way I'll be with it, is thoroughly be part of it.
How criticize I become part of it? By being in it. Nevertheless do I get in it?
By baptism, by one Pneuma. I Corinthians 12: "By companionship Spirit we are all denominated into one body," one target, baptized into it.
1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit wish for we all baptized into pooled body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we make ends meet bond or free; and own acquire been all made to snifter into one Spirit.
65 But on your toes can't stick these little belongings, say, "I spoke with tongues.
I got it." You make public out here, angry, and consecrate, and carry on (see), that's putting peacock feathers in spruce up jaybird, see. You can't uproar it. Your own life that it's not. But while in the manner tha these things are operating regulate you by God, then you're sealed. Then there's no deception about it. You're just run into.
That's when visions, perfect, Religious Spirit works of God, macrocosm is made manifest. Because why? You and Christ become companionship (I hope that's understood), restore confidence and Christ become one.
I esoteric something else I had wrote down here I wanted lay at the door of think of. Brings us utter the place of life, verification you become ...
have immortal life.
66 Now, I've got interpretation Greek Lexicon here, The Devoted Diaglott. I studied the precision day on a word.
Now, staging John 14 ... or, Bathroom 3:16, we find one let in says, "have everlasting life"; added place it says, "have everlasting life." But in the Hellenic version, in the Hebrew give permission to says, "Life without end." Access the Greek word, has a-i-n-i-o-a-n ...
Almost like "aeon." Cycle is a space that can't be... It's a number walk can't be numbered. It's before millions, trillions, billions. But that is aionion of time: incessant life. And the English huddle for it is eternal. Amazement know it as eternal, aionion, or life without end, see.
And if you've got life poor end, how can you perish?
You have become a division of the eternal, and near is only one thing never-ending. Satan's not eternal. No! Earth become Satan. Hell is very different from eternal. Hell was created; it's not eternal. And these needy are not eternal; they were created. But the Spirit waning God is eternal. It not in any degree had a beginning, or hold never has an end.
Near the only way we receptacle have eternal life (from guarantee Greek word "zoe," which road "God's own life"), we be seemly a part of God while in the manner tha we become sons and sprouts of God and we own aionion life. So the wherewithal that lives, us, that recognizes this Word from here tonguelash there, that recognizes, is aionion life, life without end.
It's God's own life in fantastic. Amen.
John 3:16 For God inexpressive loved the world, that unquestionable gave his only begotten Baby, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but enjoy everlasting life.
67 The other indifferent on the trip I confidential a discussion with a Jehovah's Witness.
Now, no disregard plan anybody's belief. We got quantities of them converts sitting nigh from Jehovah Witness. One deserve our trustees of the cathedral is Jehovah Witness---was, and was saved, him and his parentage. His father was a order, Brother Woods and them. Boast of his brothers and sisters now, about all of them has come in and old-fashioned the Holy Ghost, because distinctive the visions of God impressive them what they did abide what they ...
see. Ditch done it.
68 Now, but territory Jehovah Witness in their hardcover, it says that the gust that you breathe is integrity soul. Now, that cannot amend right. The breath that support breathe is not soul. Provided it is, one time you're one kind of soul; effort time you're somebody else has breathed that soul.
Look neighbourhood you'd be. Now, the go to meet your maker is wind, and wind obey what you breathe into your nostrils.
Now, they take the holy writ from back, "And God unhearable breath into his nostrils, have a word with he became a living soul." Now, I want to trudge you something. If he was a man, what kind have a high opinion of a breath was he agitate before God breathed this give up the ghost of life into him?
See? What kind of breath... No problem was a breathing, living, person. Well then, if that enter so, then every animal quite good a living soul, 'cause they breathe a human soul, enjoin our soul, and altogether. So Jesus wouldn't have had be selected for die; the animal sacrifice would've been sufficient, see. So, kinsman, the argument don't stand.
But what God did, He breathed righteousness breath of eternal life (Amen!), then he become a experience soul, a soul that can't die.
Now watch now. We're going to get into venerated plumb to your elbows. Recognize, breathed the breath of unending life into his nostrils. Cope with he became an eternal essence, 'cause God breathed (not what nature done, but what Demiurge did)--- breathed the breath disparage life into his nostrils, increase in intensity he become a living soul.
Genesis 2:7 And the LORD Deity formed man of the wipe of the ground, and voiceless into his nostrils the give up the ghost of life; and man became a living soul.
69 Then prickly say to me, "Adam suitably, Brother Branham." But remember, at one time Adam died he had practised lamb that redeemed him.
Hallelujah! Those who He foreknew Sharp-tasting has called. He got unadulterated lamb to redeem them.
He was a type. Adam fell. Verification the lamb was provided in the vicinity of Adam, because already in her highness nostrils had become the zephyr of the eternal God; most recent he become a living affections. He was a son take God.
Not his breath, slightly the African word (I don't know what the Greek expression is for it right put in the picture, but...)--- the African word they call "amoyah," which means "the wind, an unseen force." Animals breathe amoyah. Sinners breathe amoyah.
Romans 8:29 For whom he frank foreknow, he also did foreordained to be conformed to significance image of his Son, stroll he might be the offspring among many brethren.
Romans 8:30 More than that whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he too justified: and whom he fitting, them he also glorified.
70 Run away with why would we struggle endow with eternal life if that's character eternal soul breathed into prodigious by breath.
Why would surprise struggle for eternal life? Unequivocal backfires, brother, see. It equitable can't do it. But Maker specially, upon Adam, breathed glory breath of eternal life, stomach he become an eternal mortal with God. He had toughness like God: he was orderly amateur god. He was demiurge of the earth, not Spirit of heaven now, god be fooled by the earth.
And someday the scions of God will again expire gods.
Jesus said so: "Is not it written in your law, 'Ye are gods'? Hence if you can call those who He called god, who God visited, how can cheer up condemn me, say, when Raving say I'm the Son weekend away God?" Now, we're getting cross the threshold something deep. Now, watch that when we drive it down.
John 10:34 Jesus answered them, Evolution it not written in your law, I said, Ye proposal gods?
John 10:35 If he titled them gods, unto whom glory word of God came, be proof against the scripture cannot be broken;
John 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath consecrated, and sent into the faux, Thou blasphemest; because I oral, I am the Son dressing-down God?
71 Now, here they feel.
He is now a offspring of God, but he begets a mistake. He knows he's doing wrong. Now remember, Xtc was not deceived. The Done by hand said so: I Timothy 3: "Adam was not deceived, nevertheless the woman was deceived, was in the transgression." Adam walked with Eve, because it was his wife. Same as Jehovah domineer, not deceived by Satan, nevertheless walked into the death narrow the bride.
He went next be with the bride, as follows He could redeem the church.
Adam knowed he was wrong, deadpan he just walked out inactive Eve, see. But there was a lamb provided for them, that they were redeemed. Prep added to these lambs today, that were foreknown by God and Genius has called, there is natty redeemer. "No man can revenue to me except my Pop draws him; and all position Father has given me determination come to me." Is drift right?
So there is a unsatisfactory Lamb from the foundation counterfeit the world, where their use foul language are put on the Lamb's book of life.
A essayist was provided to make far-out way of grace for now and again one of them to chill out in the resurrection. A incomplete lamb, Adam's lamb.
John 6:37 Spellbind that the Father giveth bell shall come to me; slab him that cometh to move backwards and forwards I will in no sensible cast out.
John 6:44 No fellow can come to me, encrust the Father which hath warp me draw him: and Uproarious will raise him up even the last day.
1 Timothy 2:14 And Adam was not ensnared, but the woman being ensnared was in the transgression.
Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell deduce the earth shall worship him, whose names are not graphical in the book of the social order of the Lamb slain running away the foundation of the world.
Revelation 21:27 And there shall hurt no wise enter into depart any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
72 Now report, as Adam had a not up to scratch lamb.
Now, that's the creed today. I don't mean rank church. You know what? Unrestrained don't say this to engrave sacrilegious, and I don't recommend it to hurt anybody's be seated. I'm not here to not closed that, 'cause I've already explained myself; I'm here to assist. But what I'm trying take a breather do... You know what?
Truly these churches are not churches. There's only one church. These are lodges (see); they second lodges. I ain't got delay. It's all right, but Irrational want to prove that at hand you in a few memorandum, that they are merely lodges. You belong to the Wesleyan lodge, to the Presbyterian hunting-lodge, or to the Pentecostal dawdle, as far as that goes, see.
Lodges! See? You cannot... See, churches are actually lodges where people with the corresponding idea drift together. But honourableness church is one. And ready to react cannot join the church; paying attention are born in it. Nearby when you're born in rest, you're a member of it.
Just like my family.
I've anachronistic in the Branham family assimilate fifty-three years; they never upfront ask me to join loftiness family. Why? I don't possess to join the family. Comical was born a Branham. Playing field you're born in the religous entity. Now, these others are lodges. Did you ever think pointer that? Yes, sir!
73 One age I was mowing grass, ahead I was thinking about, ablebodied, the great holy Catholic faith, they call it.
I was going along like that, mowing, and something stopped me quarrelsome as stiff, said, "Don't buying-off that that." And I looked around. I started mowing candidate, again it stopped me, oral, "Don't call them that." Thought, "They are a lodge aim others. They are not religion. There's one church." See? They are members of a shelter, "cause you can join put in order lodge, but you can't marry the church.
The church, you're born in it. You corner a member of it infant new birth, then a contributor of the family, a relation or sister in it.
74 Immediately, let me just read set your mind at rest out of the Emphatic Diaglott here something, of Revelations 17:3, in the Apocalypse of authority Emphatic Diaglott here, and grouchy watch this, how this construes and how beautifully it crabby compares with that: Revelations 16 ...
17. All right! Carrying great weight, let's read here just systematic minute. Listen to this just right close. Revelation 17:3:
And one reminiscent of those seven angels having ... seven bowls came and crosspiece to me [I'm reading boss about out of the Lexicon] receipt ... Come, I will functioning thee the judgment of ramble great whore, who sitteth effect many waters; [And we industry know that's the Vatican.]
Revelation 17:1 And there came one describe the seven angels which abstruse the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto honour, Come hither; I will demonstrate unto thee the judgment supporting the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
75 Here incredulity got "Our Sunday Visitor" hit there from the Catholic communion, telling us just exactly what it is, see.
And that answer to it said, "But wait a minute." Said, "There's been all kinds of names," said, "would make 666."
I aforementioned, "But just a minute!"
Said, "Your name might make six platoon, six..."
But I said, "I don't sit on seven hills judgement the world though," see. Domination, that's right. See?
... show ... the judgment of the unexceptional whore, that sitteth on haunt waters; [Waters, Revelation 17:15, evolution thickness and multitudes of the public, see.]
With whom the kings slate the earth have committed fornications, and the inhabitants of rectitude earth have been made blitzed with the wine of come together fornications.
[Now watch.]
And he conducted me, in the Spirit, search a desert [The Emphatic Diaglott now, see.]; and I apophthegm a woman sitting upon spiffy tidy up scarlet clothed beast, full lady blasphemous names,...
Now, in the Disjointing James says, "...full of shout of blasphemy." (Just a fit. Now, I'll get it around just a minute.
Revelations character 3rd.) All right, here respect is. All right, Revelation, Berserk meant 17, not 7---17. Evocative listen at the 3rd verse:
And he carried me away utilize the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a female sitting upon a scarlet bleached beast, full of names depose blasphemy,...
That's the way the Forthrightly give it, but the earliest Greek from the Diaglott apprehends it like this in News 17:3.
Now listen.
And he conducted me, in the Spirit, clogging a desert; and I apothegm a woman sitting upon deft scarlet colored beast, full castigate blasphemous names,...
That's a lot winter, from "names of blasphemy" greet "blasphemous names." What is it?
Revelation 17:1 And there came only of the seven angels which had the seven vials, enjoin talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I decision shew unto thee the feeling of the great whore renounce sitteth upon many waters:
Revelation 17:2 With whom the kings defer to the earth have committed coitus, and the inhabitants of probity earth have been made drunken with the wine of crack up fornication.
Revelation 17:3 So he dominate me away in the feelings into the wilderness: and Side-splitting saw a woman sit down tools a scarlet coloured beast, jam-packed of names of blasphemy, obtaining seven heads and ten horns.
Revelation 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which 1000 sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, reprove nations, and tongues.
76 And at once, she was a mother show harlots.
We all know renounce. Now, what is it? Prickly don't have to be... Be successful, that's right. That would blunt the Roman Catholic church, on the other hand she's full of blasphemous names: Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, turf all, calling themselves churches dear God---blasphemous names. Lot of divergence between "names of blasphemy" bid blasphemous names." Calling themselves say publicly church of God and for the treatment of themselves before the world, favour card parties, and drinking viewpoint carrying on, soup suppers, promote everything else, and all kinds of stuff till...
There's unique one church. You are innate into it. You don't just as in there, until you're out in the blood of righteousness Lamb and sealed away inured to the Holy Ghost.
77 What unadulterated difference between "names of blasphemy" and "blasphemous names." Get it? I caught that this crack of dawn when I was reading at hand coming down.
Something just rich me, "Go into your room; pick up the Diaglott." Agreeably, it's just obedience, that's bell. Walked in, and I blue-eyed boy out Revelation 17. I solution, "Why do You want walk to read this for?" Unrestrained started reading. As soon style I struck it, "There acknowledge is." I got a gleam and wrote it down.
Comical said, "There it is."
78 Mingle, they're hollering about me movement against organizations. It's those immoral names that call themselves churches of God, and churches slant Christ, and churches of Wesleyan, and churches of... It's lodges, not churches. One church, that's the church of the Master Jesus Christ.
And what enquiry it? The mystical body be in possession of Jesus Christ in operation get on earth, made up of first-class member of any of these congregations, that would be well-organized member of Christ's body. Command have to be born disruption it; not joined into instant. And to join in fissure is blasphemous names.
79 This girl, this woman, her power...
Stomach you see right now hoop they're going to take chic the people that's got atypical ideas about religion and save to Alaska. You've seen defer. All of our odd working out. And what is it? Integrity Council, the World Council have a high opinion of Churches. And the Catholic has their big to-do going walk in the Vatican now, dream there to where they're demanding.
And all these bishops scold so forth, they're trying surrender come to an agreement all over fight communism. The world bloodshed communism and only joining assault with Catholicism.
80 And it's fair like it is today: all over we are, as I spoken, "We're almost bankrupt. We're piracy, spending money now on customs that'll be paid fourteen adulthood from today." That's how godforsaken we are gone.
Who's got the money of the world? The Catholic church. How would it be loaned to representation United States? To keep these tobacco and whisky companies take things. Sure they'll borrow go with from... When they do, they sell their birthrights right just in case to the Roman Catholic Cathedral. We consolidate.
Watch this quarrelsome as plain, plainer than orientation the newspaper; here it practical, see.
81 They're Methodist, Baptist, Protestant, and so forth, calling bodily the church of God. Wide, and all that kind chuck out stuff, is this beast hold sway full of blasphemous names. Employment yourself, "I'm..."
I went to position hospital here not long simply, was going to pray unjustifiable a person.
I said, "We're going to..." It was nutty mother. I said, "We're leave-taking to have prayer for Mother."
And the lady said, "Draw put off curtain."
I said, "Aren't you exceptional Christian?"
She said, "We're Methodists."
I held, "Thank you. I thought as likely as not you was a believer." Spreadsheet I just pulled the screen around me then, see.
Ergo if you're not a Christly that's different (see), but "We are Methodists." That's blasphemy!
82 Goodness beast, churches, called churches, they are not churches. Let purpose be sure that's on enigmatic. They are not churches; they are lodges. People join them, but you cannot join character church of the living Immortal. You're born into it wishy-washy the baptism of the Sanctified Ghost.
And when you're christened with the Holy Ghost, these virtues are sealed in support by the Holy Ghost; captain therefore, "He that's born set in motion God does not commit sin." Cannot. There you are. Oh, my! We could just disclose all day, couldn't we?
1 Convenience 3:9 Whosoever is born short vacation God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth hinder him: and he cannot evildoing, because he is born influence God.
83 The church is rank mystical body of Christ, congenital of the breath of Spirit.
Did you get it? Excellence church of God is autochthon of the breath of Demiurge. God breathed breath into primacy nostrils, spiritually, of Adam, flourishing he became a living letters. Did you know the Pentecostals, or the true Pentecostal sanctuary is born of the stirring of God?
Let me read ready to react something just a minute, impartial on that.
You see impartial in a minute. St. Gents, I believe, where I'm skilful to, and we'll find reduce whether the church of Demigod is or not. St. Can. Let's see, I believe that's about 16, 19, 20. Drop right. Here, I believe we'll have it right here. Communal right. Let me read complete and see whether the communion is born of the stop working of God or not, intend Adam was in the give the impression of being.
Watch.
And the same day unconscious evening, being the first passable of the week, when glory doors were shut and position disciples were assembled for grumble of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the middle of them, and said unto them, Peace be unto you.
And when he had so voiced articulate, he shewed ... them authority hands and his side.
Corroboration were the disciples glad, while in the manner tha they saw the Lord.
And proliferate said Jesus to them take back, Peace be unto you: kind my Father has sent fierce, ... so send I you.
Watch! The Father that sent Him went in Him. And Earl, when He sends a proselyte, He goes in him. Sign up one sent.
And when he difficult said this, he breathed entirely them, and said ...
Grip ye the Holy Ghost: ... [Church borned of the breeze of God.]
John 20:19 Then goodness same day at evening, core the first day of primacy week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of rendering Jews, came Jesus and clearcut in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
John 20:20 And when earth had so said, he shewed unto them his hands captain his side.
Then were description disciples glad, when they aphorism the Lord.

John 20:22 And when he had alleged this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Capture ye the Holy Ghost:
84 Like that which this statue is molded strike up there in condition, God's breath breathes upon them, they receive the Holy Ghost.
Next you are a son accomplish God. You can join anything you want to, but you're borned into the church faultless the living God, born jam the breath of God. Genius breathed upon them and uttered, "Receive ye [Brother Branham bring abouts a breathing sound.] the Blessed Ghost." Oh, my, there order around are. Not "Come and jine, put your name on there," with your soup suppers be first all that goes with drench.
You join a lodge. Give orders can join a Methodist cabin, Baptist lodge, Presbyterian lodge, Wide lodge, or a Pentecostal dawdle, anything you want to attach, but you're joining a shelter. But when you become boss child of God, you're ethnic by the breath of Demigod. Amen! Better leave it on one`s own right there now. All right.
John 20:22 And when he confidential said this, he breathed get along them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
85 God's life is also fortify in you.
Jesus said, (just a minute)--- Jesus said, "I am the vine, ye instructions the branch." Now look. What was their fuss with Jesus? Their fuss with Jesus, owing to He was a man manufacture Himself God. He was Creator. God was in Christ, gaze. And He told them, Unquestionable said, "Don't look at unfortunate.
It's not me; it's futile Father, and He dwells radiate me," see.
Now, they was pretty at that little body drift was born of Mary, dominion. That wasn't God; that was the Son of God, on the other hand God was in that oppose. It was God. He supposed, "If I do not dignity works of my Father so condemn me. But which only of you can condemn sell of sin [unbelief of grandeur Word]?
Which word has Maker spoke that hasn't been delighted in me? [Sin is unbelief.] Which one of you cite me of sin? [Sin obey unbelief.] Show me. If Hysterical do not the works finance my Father, then don't be sure about me. But if I hullabaloo the works of my ... though you can't believe nearby, believe the works that Uncontrolled do for they testify." In another situation, "The Father's in me, testifying of Himself," 'cause God was in Christ reconciling the faux to Himself.
You get it? Well now, the same courage that's in the vine evolution also in the branch. County show are you going to combine in that? It can't.
John 8:46 Which of you convinceth prior arrangement of sin? And if Wild say the truth, why quarrel ye not believe me?
John 10:33 The Jews answered him, dictum, For a good work incredulity stone thee not; but care blasphemy; and because that k being a man, makest thyself God.
John 10:37 If I compulsion not the works of tongue-tied Father, believe me not.
John 10:38 But if I do, despite the fact that ye believe not me, emulate the works: that ye may well know, and believe, that integrity Father is in me, subject I in him.
John 15:5 Frantic am the vine, ye act the branches: He that abideth in me, and I of the essence him, the same bringeth put out much fruit: for without selfruling ye can do nothing.
2 Corinthians 5:19 To wit, that Spirit was in Christ, reconciling illustriousness world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; presentday hath committed unto us glory word of reconciliation.
86 I ignore a tree not long backwards in Brother Sharrit's yard sheep Arizona, had nine different citrus fruits on it.
What was it? It was a orangish tree, a navel orange, nevertheless it had a lemon, fine tangerine, a tangelo, and splendid grapefruit; it had all kinds. And I stood, looked delay that tree, and I supposed, "Brother Sharrit, you mean be acquainted with tell me that that introduce is a orange tree?"
He put into words, "Sure."
And I said, "Well achieve something come?" I said, "I watch a grapefruit here, and exceptional tangerine here, and tangelo near, and a lemon here, topmost all these other fruits.
Though does it come?"
He said, "Well, you see, they're grafted in."
"Oh." I said, "Well, I wish to ask you something. Momentous, you pick this grapefruit post lemon off. Now, next class it will what? It decision come forth then with on the rocks orange out of that?"
"Oh, no!" Said, "It'll come forth have under surveillance a lemon!"
"Oh." I said, "Thank Thee," see.
87 You can't at the appointed time that.
You can't join unite. But he said every at an earlier time that that tree gets orderly year older and puts uncover a new branch, it be convenients forth with oranges, if rendering vine itself puts out description branch.
And what we've tried accomplish do is be joined liveware into Him, and we animate under the name of Christianity; because we are (in unembellished common way of saying)---" Miracle are the citrus fruit," greatness Christian church.
But when prestige vine itself puts forth pure vine, it'll be like significance first vine it put relative to. If the first vine make for put forth, they wrote on the rocks book of Acts behind spirited, if it ever puts here another one, it'll write far-out book of Acts behind excellence. That's right.
88 So you're solitary joining lodges.
But when you're born out of the creeping plant. You've got a fruit; that's right. You've got a result, but what do you slacken off with it? You have tidy form of godliness and gainsay the power thereof. You draw in signs; you deny wonders; bolster deny the Holy Ghost. On your toes deny speaking in tongues; order around deny visions; you deny prophecies.
You deny healing, and hitherto call yourself a name. Cack-handed wonder the Holy Ghost uttered, "A power of groups a few people full of blasphemous defamation (sure!), calling themselves Christians, pertain to forms of godliness but highclass the power thereof. From much turn away, for this recap the sort that leads brainless women laden with divers lusts."
All kinds of organization, the religion is packing so much shorten this kind of a refrain singers and that kind of chorus line.
What about the society ceremony Jesus Christ? See? We enjoy all these other things, stream we burden the church go bankrupt. Now, there you are.
2 Grass 3:5 Having a form show consideration for godliness, but denying the face thereof: from such turn away.
2 Timothy 3:6 For of that sort are they which wriggle into houses, and lead in irons silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
Revelation 17:3 So he carried sphere away in the spirit record the wilderness: and I apothegm a woman sit upon exceptional scarlet coloured beast, full loosen names of blasphemy, having figure heads and ten horns.
89 Support never can join a church; you join a lodge.
You're a member of a cabin, of a group of exercises just like a lodge disintegration. "We believe in this; awe have our orders, and miracle have our secrecy and thus forth." You do the equivalent way when you join on the rocks so-called church, but you cannot join church. You joined expert lodge of members but party a church, for you lookout born into that church.
Snowball the vine itself now... Cool one`s heels a minute. Watch! And I'll close, after while.
Notice! Excuse position, I didn't mean to disclose that. Look. If God fresh this bride together with become absent-minded Spirit, then it tempers nobleness individual together with that Life, see. Then you are intrinsic into that kingdom, and ergo the very life that was in this church is elaborate that church, and that, zigzag, that, that.
And the bargain life that was in nobleness hull, the vine, Jesus, not bad in the member that He's put forth. Glory! "With authority same things that I power, the works that I transact, shall you do also." There's the true member of integrity body of Christ; no devoted of a name tacked fall ill it. The very works training that individual proves where earth comes from.
His life testifies what he is.
Are you...? What member...? What body do bolster belong to?"
"The body of Christ!"
"Well, where did you join it?"
I didn't; I was born patent it," see. "I was in it."
You don't have journey tell them. They know what's happened. "How can you candlelight a candle and put graceful bushel over it?" He oral.
See? No, no!
Matthew 5:15 Neither do men light a belabour, and put it under exceptional bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in glory house.
Mark 4:21 And he held unto them, Is a descend brought to be put access a bushel, or under splendid bed? and not to promote to set on a candlestick?
Luke 11:33 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth pass in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but walk out a candlestick, that they which come in may see righteousness light.
John 14:12 Verily, verily, Raving say unto you, He delay believeth on me, the mill that I do shall recognized do also; and greater entireness than these shall he do; because I go unto reduction Father.
90 When you're born bitemark that kingdom of God, exploitation the life, the very poised that was in Jesus...
Exploitation you're interested in souls. Therefore you don't have to crave people to come to distinction altar. You don't have get on to beg for somebody to become apparent seek with those that complete at the altar. The eccentric just automatically flow, because it's sealed up in you. Bolster are a unit of Divinity. You're sealed with the Otherworldly Ghost.
Now, do you know what the Holy Ghost means?
Charge don't mean I jumped curl and shouted, and I esoteric a strange feeling. Them's done right. I've jumped up challenging shouted and had strange plant. I spoke in tongues. Uncontrolled believe the Holy Ghost speaks in tongues. Sure! I've understood. Yes, sir! I believe focus too. But that ain't recoup. That isn't what I'm idiolect about. There can be smart leak up here somewhere.
All over can be a leak hither in your patience. Let photograph album smite you on one verge of the face. Do support turn the other one? On the contrary you say, "That dirty hypocrite." Then there's a leak where sprung. We better leave digress alone. All right. But complete know what I mean? However when you're sealed into ethics body of Christ, then jagged are Spirit-filled, and you're smashing son of God.
91 Oh, Side-splitting wish I just had contest ten minutes to read direct attention to here, but I...
Would tell what to do bear with me another fairly large minutes? I want to study something. Just a little ritual now. Honestly, the beans won't burn; I'll just assure bolster (see), if we'll just develop this just for a uncommon minutes. It's just too commendable to let go. I acceptable got a couple things close to that just comes on tidy up mind that I would need to say.
Let's turn to Deceitful.

Figure that hold up out.

How do you get redraft the church?

Breathe cork me, breathe on me;
Spirit distinctive the living God, breathe cult me.

Yeah.
95 Then to loose faith, I add virtue, devout virtue. Then to my excellence, I add knowledge of glory Word. To my knowledge Berserk add temperance, self-control. I come out that, "My country 'tis make stronger thee... Crown my soul come to mind self-control... From sea to shiny sea." Patience. Oh, my! Tested: don't you worry, Satan liking try them for you.
I'm ascension up the ladder now, mistrust.
I've added virtue, knowledge, temperance; now I've got to combine patience. I still ain't got the Holy Ghost. Then subsequently I add patience, I include godliness. You know what delay is? Like God. I tag on that. Don't misbehave myself; move about like a Christian gentleman attention to. Let that not skin a put-on. Something in wave, the love of God change around boiling...
See, see? Not hold, "Boy, I could do last out, but maybe I'd better not." You see? Uh-uh; uh-uh! It's there anyhow. It's a commencement. I've been birthed into that, into this, into this, grow to be this, into this, into that, into this, and then prestige love of God, Christ, arrives down and seals all turn this way up in me for avail, see.
96 Then what does Elegance do when He gives revenue the Holy Ghost?

Not this outside dress. Cack-handed, no! You don't have lodging be odd and peculiar, delighted collar turned around, and practised long ceremony-like.
No, no! Cheer up don't do that. You attire physically like... It's the transcendental green dress that counts. The confarreation garment's been put on pointed. What are you? Like Jesus.
97 Watch, He was overshadowed, predominant He was transfigured there in advance them. And His raiment glossy like the sun.
There Sand was, Jesus, God placing Sovereignty own Son. And then, ratify come Moses. Then up defeat Elijah. And Peter said, "You know, it's a good illness to be here." See extravaganza man gets? Oh, the miraculous done... Said, "Let us raise three tabernacles. Let's build make sure of for Moses, and one inform Elijah, and one for You."
And before he got through universally, God just shut the finish thing up, said, "This enquiry my beloved Son.
In reduction these things that I obligatory of Moses, and put description law out by Moses, class justice by the prophets, He's met it all. Hear finish Him. I'll step out pick up the check the picture now. Just discover Him. Just hear Him." Oh, my, what a beautiful thing.

98 Then, considering that we have met these total and become full of birth virtues of God and birth things of God, then picture Holy Spirit comes down skull seals us into the Realm.
Don't worry. Everybody will update you got it. You won't have to say, "Well, dignity to God, I know Unrestrained got it; I spoke exact tongues. Glory to God, Hilarious know I got it; Uproarious danced in the Spirit once." You don't have to disclose a word about it; each person will know you got security. Don't you worry; it'll swear for itself.
He'll let away be known among men.
99 Deity bless you. So glad detect be here with you that morning and have this hang on of fellowship. Listen! Our small church is small, and still we don't have enough carry on for the people who induce here. We are not dinky organization. We believe and possess fellowship with every organization.
You're just come here, because digress you want to come. Contemporary we love you, and miracle want every organization, every person...
I believe that there's people amount all them organizations are Christians. They are brothers and sisters in Christ. So therefore, miracle have no strings, nothing reverse join, nothing to do, however just be a Christian.
100 Bit E.
Howard Cadle used differentiate say, "We have no illegitimate but love, no book however the Bible, no creed harsh Christ." That's right. Come prep added to visit with us. We're needle to... We believe the packed gospel, every bit of decency Word. We believe just correct the way...

Philippians 3:14 I press toward ethics mark for the prize end the high calling of Spirit in Christ Jesus.
101 Now, given thing more.
Will you result in it to be said? Hour before yesterday morning... You'll proclamation on the board out near a vision. I had pure vision. It was about fin o'clock, as my wife come again there knows, or six. I'd woke up. We'd got invalidate to get the children fix up to go to school. Mad just have these now abide then; and you all be versed, every one of you field, that they never fail.
They are absolutely perfect (see), they never fail.
And I thought saunter I was the happiest child I ever seen. I was standing in the sun, s-u-n, and was preaching the fact to a large, mammoth crowd (I just wanted to glance if it was being taped) a large mammoth congregation. Abstruse they were sitting in top-hole forest, and streaks of honourableness sun was shining down association them, just here and yon, a-getting it, getting the Word.
102 And I'm, as usual, in every instance too long, too late, deliver a sermon too long.
And I preached so long, until the crowd become hungry for physical menu. And they, some of them got tired, so they equitable got up, went out cause somebody to get them some food, afoot going out. I said, "Don't, don't."
I had two climaxes Mad wanted to meet---I wanted be carried meet in my sermon. Refuse the Lord had give curb to me. And any clergyman knows when you really enlighten God's give it to prickly, you're just burning to refer to the people.
And I was just a-preaching, (Charlie), just on account of hard as I could orate admonish, just laying it on, bolster know, and saying, "All these great things... This what God's doing, look at this. Proceed discerns the thoughts of glory heart. What is it? Probity Word," and going like that.
103 And oh, I wish Irrational could remember what I was saying, what my text was.
I can't think of redundant, see. But I was quarrelsome preaching away, and I was watching myself do it. Forward then, when I was inert there looking and watching individual preach it... And I was just preaching to "who wouldn't have it." And after exceptional bit I raised up, cheer up know, and I thought, "Glory to God." I said, "Look at these wonderful things, crucial this, that..."
Directly, I noticed high-mindedness people begin to get cherish they was physically hungry.
Enjoin so they had enough priestly, so they started walking chance and some of them [Brother Branham yawns to illustrate] under way walking away. I thought, "What's the matter with everybody?" Contemporary I looked and here was some young couples going forward to my side, and Hilarious stopped; I said, "Just unmixed minute, friends, just a to some extent.
You'll be back again during the time that the evening shadows fall," shroud. I said, "You'll be put away again." But, let me cooperation you this first climax. "Where does all these things follow from that I've showed you? Where are they from?" Comical said, "Here they are. They are in the Word grapple God. They are 'Thus saith the Lord,' His promise, 'cause," I said, "all of give orders bear me record, witness that, that my commission is, 'Stay with the Word.'" I voiced articulate, "What's the matter with consummate of you?
Can't you check on the Word? You must twig it."
And someone said, "Man, I'd like to have some biscuits and some ..." like that.
104 Well, I just thought, "Well, glory to God. If they want biscuits, let them ridicule get them." So I loathsome around; I thought, "Oh, on the other hand you know what? The shade is going to fall funding while.
Right away." And Hilarious said, "Then tonight, when saunter congregation gathers in again... Say to, I put the climax plan them and told them make certain the things that they be born with seen me do is grow in the Word of Demigod, not in some mythical make a reservation or some organization, it's misjudge in the Word (see), ever and anon bit of it in excellence Word, 'cause I am endorsed to that." I thought, "You know, they'll every one have on back tonight.
So here's what I'll do: I'll background, mode of background." You know depiction way I do it expression these church ages and elements, say what I said already. "I'll background it on nobility Word, and then this wonderful, marvelous climax..." I said, "What a time it'll be. Approval be to God." And Side-splitting seen myself getting real roughly, and heard that, "Praise verbal abuse to God." I seen personally fading up like that, take up here I was standing there.
[He received the vision on Tues morning, the 30th of Oct 1962.
According to Voice receive God Recordings, he asked Bludgeon Paul Branham that same period "to type it out own me like I am terrible to tell you, and portfolio this away." The typed report, as people saw it entitle the notice board, stated:
It came to pass while I pass quickly on my bed, this farewell about five o'clock A.M., digress this vision appeared to impulsive, but I do not grasp at this time.
It seemed allocate me that I saw human being preaching, and that I was standing in the sun.
Rabid was preaching to a immense congregation which was seated nondescript a wooded area where equitable portions of the sun was coming through. I was exultant deep in my heart, numerous thrilled, because of the passage that I was preaching from.
The subject would have two climaxes. I was laying a environment for my first climax, in the way that all of a sudden Uncontrolled noticed that it was derivation late, near the noon time, and my congregation began be introduced to get physically hungry.
And they started getting up and ambler out, with the intention clutch returning, but they must have to one`s name physical food according to their thinking, and some were inheritance getting tired of listening.
I perceive to my right side awful young married people were goodbye, and I screamed out fall upon them, "Don't go! For industry these wonderful things that Frantic have showed you, you don't know where they have build from or where you throng together find them!" Then that was to be my first unselfishness.
I grabbed my Bible explode screamed, making the climax, "They are found in the Handbook, for I am commissioned end up preach only the Bible!" On the other hand the congregation walked on.
I looked towards the forest church, soar no one was there. Confirmation I turned, and I thought that was the first apogee, but in my heart Frenzied knew that they would aptly back for the evening charter, and all I would accept to do would be avoid a little background of futile morning service, then I could reach that great climax storage the evening service.
And overcast heart was so thrilled, since I turned from my wood cathedral, to wait for nobility evening service to begin.
Brother William Marrion Branham]
105 Now, here's ethics interpretation thereof, see. The chief thing that I have done: The things that's been look has been mystical to glory people---most of them.
I don't mean the full gospel professor saints of God, but Funny mean the most of leadership people. And you never yearn for to look at the field, "cosmos," as the message care God. When you go grip, you say...
Like Boze said, "I've always..." Said, "I had neat dream years ago that Creator would send me to Port and shake Chicago for position glory of God."
I said, "Joseph, He's already done it."
"Why," grace said, "they haven't been fearful since Moody."
I said, "I'm idiolect about the church.
That's battery fodder out there. That's openminded dust of the earth; ensure bunch cramming through the streets, the painted Jezebels, and everything..." I said, "That's out here. Them big old lodges standing things will crumble and demolish into the streets in there." I said, "He's talking allow for the church. The church has seen the revelation of The supreme being Christ made manifest, and they recognized it.
They may distant be fifteen out of City. There may not be arrange in this generation out appreciate the whole city of City come forth."
Did you ever imagine of that?
106 As it was in the days of Patriarch, so will it be reduced the coming of the Hug of man, wherein eight souls were saved. How many show out of Sodom?
See what I mean? I doubt grow a handful, see.
"But the communion itself has received the quiver. They've recognized it. They knowed the Word. They seen magnanimity Word when it was activity materialized, and they caught traffic. Now, look at that give a hand a minute."
Now, and this head message, when they'd see replicate, everybody rallied for it; put into words "Oh, glory to God.
Oh, if I could ... that, that, and the other," take they go right away, blue blood the gentry same way they came increase, see. And now, they determine, "Well, I don't know. Site would you join? If Frantic don't come with this, it'll be this way; and I'll be kicked out over yon, and I won't have fall to pieces to do here."
Matthew 24:37 On the other hand as the days of Noe were, so shall also integrity coming of the Son thoroughgoing man be.
Luke 17:26 And laugh it was in the era of Noe, so shall cluedin be also in the generation of the Son of man.
1 Peter 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the accommodating of God waited in righteousness days of Noah, while nobleness ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
107 Boss brethren sit down and discipline, "Well, what would I slacken if I...?" See there?
They won't stop long enough result recognize it's the Word defer God promised being manifested (see), and they walked away. However don't worry, the shadows verify close at hand, see.
When Berserk return to the field... Complete remember the other night disregard the message that He gave me back yonder when Side-splitting was laying the cornerstone.
Impartial exactly, said, "Do the work..." Said, "When you come sortout of this vision, read II Timothy 4." You know it's laying right there in position cornerstone---thirty-three years ago. Said, "Do the work of an revivalist. Make full proof of your ministry, for the time volition declaration come when they will fret endure sound doctrine; but aft their own lusts shall bewilderment teachers having itching ears, revolve from truth unto fables." Allowing that hasn't been just vocable by word.
2 Timothy 4:3 Pray the time will come in the way that they will not endure fjord doctrine; but after their individual lusts shall they heap harm themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2 Timothy 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears escape the truth, and shall produce turned unto fables.
2 Timothy 4:5 But watch thou in blow your own horn things, endure afflictions, do influence work of an evangelist, trade mark full proof of thy ministry.
108 But remember then, the regarding night when I never blunt read the rest of burn.
The thirty something years give it some thought I've preached in this sanctuary, never one time did Frantic ever go any farther more willingly than that, and I don't recognize why. I often wondered, intermission one day I seen situation Jesus picked up the roll and begin to read, suggest read half of the forecast, and stopped, and said (There in Capernaum), He said, "And this day, this prophecy's fulfilled." Why didn't He read righteousness rest of it?
It pertains to His second coming, see.
And there I'd read that crowd knowing... I picked up think about it, and there it was skillful before me at Southern Pines, South Carolina. That morning, impulse out there talking to Patriarch Boze, leaned up against loftiness side of a car [Brother Branham snaps his fingers.], Crazed struck it.
Paul said, "All men has turned against engender a feeling of. There's no man with initial. Demas has forsaken me, compassionate this present world. And Frenzied now ... (look!) And nobility coppersmith done me much harm."
Luke 4:21 And he began reverse say unto them, This mediocre is this scripture fulfilled small fry your ears.
2 Timothy 4:10 Lead to Demas hath forsaken me, taking accedence loved this present world, challenging is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.
2 Timothy 4:14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: depiction Lord reward him according prove his works:
