Faith no 7

Faith or insanity pt 2

June 4, 2017

Brian Kocourek, Pastor

Last night we began by contrasting the words of Jesus in Luke 18:8 with those of God Himself in Deuteronomy 28:28. So let's refresh our minds this morning by reading these for our text again this morning.

Luke 18:8 "I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

And Deuteronomy 28:28 The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:

We followed that with some prophesy from the prophet Jeremiah and from God's end time Prophet William Branham concerning the end time mental condition of the people.

In Jeremiah 51:7 we read, Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD'S hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad. Which means this relationship she has with the nations brings on this insanity.

From his sermon, Invisible union of the bride 65-1125 P:51 Brother branham warned, "The complete total insanity this world will go into right away. It's almost there now. Why, you can see the footsteps of it. There it is. It's marching right out on the street, right down the church pew: total insanity, do things that a human being wouldn't think of doing and being civilized. Look what Hollywood's done to the woman. Look how it's robbed the sacred virtues of the woman. On and on we could go. See, all this she lost. How did she do it? Because there was a subtle instrument called the church, like there was in the garden of Eden. A subtle person, the devil, walked into the church just like he did in the garden of Eden and deceived her into it. She's deceived. The woman thinks... She don't mean to be wrong. Eve didn't mean to do wrong. It wasn't willfully. but she... The Bible said in I Timothy 3, she was deceived. And deceived is not when you willfully do it, it's when you are deceived into doing it."

And from his sermon 18 Christ Revealed In His Own Word pp. 20 he said,  "Men now and people today are in such a neurotic condition, the whole world... ,

So we see this world condition began with neurosis in his day but he prophesied it would escalate to where the entire world would become insane right before the bride is taken out in the rapture.

The dictionary defines insanity as the condition of being insane; a derangement of the mind, it is also known by lunacy, madness, craziness, mania and aberration.

As an end time condition we see that all men will go completely insane with the exception of them who have the mind of Christ. It's effects upon the world will be devastating.

But we are also told that God will take his Bride out of the earth and then what is withholding all things down which is His Holy Spirit in the earth, when he leaves the midst of humanity with his bride, then there will be nothing left to hold back the insanity and keep it in check, and literally all hell will break loose at that point in time.

Leadership 65-1207 P:121 These hideous sights that's coming upon the earth. You can see how the people's moving right into it. It's an insanity. But when that thing strikes, the church will be gone. God, let us be there. That's my prayer to the great supernatural Being that's in this building tonight, the great Christ that still has Eternal Life. I pray Thee, Christ, as I'm here with my eyes open, looking at the church that You've redeemed with Your Blood. God, don't let a one of us be lost. We want to be right with You. So cleanse us, O Lord, from all of our iniquities. Take away our sins and things. We seen You heal our sick, even raise our dead (come back to life through prayer), and we seen all these things happen, Father. Now, bring us back to Life spiritually; bring us back into realization of Eternal Life through Christ Jesus. Grant this, Father. I commit it all to You. In Jesus Christ's Name.

Brother Branham tells us the order is that the Holy spirit Who is now in our midst will leave the midst of humanity and when He does, He will take us with Him, and then we will meet the Son of God, and when God incarnates His Son Once more, then we will crown Him King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Now, let's find this in the Scripture. II Thessalonians 2:5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth [will let], until he be taken out of the way.

Now, this may sound a little confusing to you, so let me read it from the Wuest translation, and you will find the same thing brother Branham is telling us in this quote. That the Holy Ghost Who is now in our midst will at this time leave the earth.

Wuest Translation II Thessalonians 2: 5-7 Do you not remember that while I was still with you I kept on telling you these things? And now you know with a positive assurance that which namely, the departure of the church, the saints being assembled to the Lord, is preventing his being disclosed as to his true identity, in his strategic, appointed time, for the mystery of the aforementioned lawlessness is now operating. Only He, the Holy Spirit, who is holding the lawlessness down, will do so, until He goes out from the midst of humanity. And then shall the lawless one be disclosed in his true identity..etc.

Now, this ties in perfectly with what brother Branham taught us in the Seals.

Now, here is the quote from Brother Branham, FIRST SEAL THE 63-0318 161-3 {301} Notice, and when this Holy Spirit that we have, becomes incarnate to us, the One that's in our midst now in the form of the Holy Ghost, becomes incarnate to us in the Person of Jesus Christ, we'll crown Him King of king...?... That's right. See?

So we see here that this Scripture speaks first of the Saints assembling to the Lord and then it speaks of their departure from the earth. Then, as if in the same breath, Paul also tells us this will happen when the Holy Spirit departs from the midst of humanity. Now, the Holy spirit could not depart from the midst of humanity if He were not here. And if we are to be gathered together to Him first, then when he goes we go, for nowhere in scripture does it speak contrary to this. Nowhere in Scripture does it speak of the Lord leaving at a different time from the earth than the saints leave. So, if we are gathered together unto Him first, then it is He that takes us up from the midst of humanity just like Jesus took Peter James and John up into the Mountain.

Luke 21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35  For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36  Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. 37  And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives. 38  And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.

Now in this scripture we are told that the cares of this life or anxiety is actually et as a trap or snare for all who live on the face of this earth. Why? Because just as a trap it doesn't end there. If our focus is on the things of this world, then we will be caught up into these anxieties which are a snare to us. So you see the snare is set for those who do not have their focus on the path. ( I remember when I was a boy, I had watched Tarzan and saw how they set traps for wild animals. So the next time we were playing guns in the woods, I cut a vine and made a noose in it, set a small not in it and cut a notch in a nearby tree to hold it down, then I laid the noose end on a few small sticks to hold it of the ground so as to catch the foot of the bad guys and then I covered the noose end with leaves. I set it on a path in the woods, and I waited for the bad guys to come along. I knew that if they were not paying attention they would get caught in the trap.) And that is exactly what has been set for mankind in this hour. A trap has been set for those whose focus is not upon Christ and His Promises for this end-time. Those who are lazily walking though life without paying attention to the conditions of the hour. Didn't Jesus warn us "if the man of the house had know what hour the thief was coming, he would have prepared his home and he would not have suffered the thief to break in." Our focus should be on standing in the presence of the Son of Man as Jesus tells us here. We should not be concerned with the cares of this life, because they are considered a snare to the real things that God has in store for us. And remember people, every time we see people caught in a trap in the scriptures, they were destroyed.

Notice this next quote from brother Branham concerning insanity in this age. He tells us the first sign of insanity is to have a temper fit, and he even quotes the Mayo Clinic with this diagnosis. I looked up on line and sure enough temper is said to be one of the first indicators in children of the onset of insanity.

In this next quote we will see brother Branham show us how temper is one of the first signs, and we see this everyday on the streets, in the shopping malls and store especially when there are big sales like black Friday.

Questions and answers COD 59-1223 P:55 Jesus said, "Take your leave. But come out of him." Amen. Oh, my. Little bitty Guy like that speaking to that big legion of devils. "Come out of him. You have your leave." And they got into those hogs, and they had fits, run them hogs into fits. And down the way they went to the river and drowned in the river, choked themselves in the river. Isn't that right? Now, when they did... Of course the devils went out of them, 'cause it killed the hogs. It just run them into a fit. They had a fit just like anyone. Did you ever see a person have a temper fit? Well, that's just what it is. That's just them devils. That's what happened to them. You ever see one of them having a temper fit, you say, "Oh, uh-huh, I know what happened in Gadara now." See? That's just exactly. Just a few more come in there, run him completely insane; 'cause the medical doctor will tell you that temper is the first stage of insanity. That's what Mayo says, the first stage of insanity. Brother Pat, that might have been rude. That's the best I know, just unexpected. All right.

Listen brother Branham was talking to Br. Pat Tyler who had been a man that killed a man and was sent to jail because of his anger resulted in murder. So he wasn't holding back none whatsoever to correct the errors and let these people known that you are either being led by the Holt Spirit of the devil.

Concerned and convinced 62-0610E P:13 Now, baptism of the Holy Ghost--moving on for God. Pat Tyler, another bosom friend of mine setting over here. Brother Pat, stand up. You all might know Pat Tyler. Thank you, Brother Pat. God bless you. He was an outlaw, a gunman, killer; God saved him and made a saint out of him; hitchhiking across the country to follow the meetings and things. You know, I think of these people that, where they've come from, I think of Hebrews the 11th chapter: "Were sawed asunder and wandered about in goatskin and sheepskin, of whom the world was not worthy of." They all bear that testimony.

Leadership 65-1207 P:120 Do you love God? Can you feel... Do you realize what I'm trying to tell you? If you can understand this just raise your hands, say, "I understand what you're trying to say." Can you see the insanity of this age? Look how it's gone; there's no even reasons among the people no more. It's gone. Where is our... Even leaders...Look at our President. "If they want Communism, let them have it. Whatever the people wants, let them have it." Where is our Patrick Henrys, our George Washington's? Where is our leaders that can stand for a principle? We haven't got them no more. Where is our churches, our ministers? Will take the people in just on prohibition, or come in join the church and do this, or have a little sensation or something. Where is those men of God, those prophet that stand out and dare to defy all the things of the world? Where is those men of integrity? Where are they at? They're so soft, and through intellectual conceptions and things, till they're not here no more. O God, have mercy upon us.

Leadership 65-1207 P:119 O God, let me go, Lord. Don't leave me behind, Jesus. Let me go with You, Father. I don't want to stay here on this earth to watch these tribulations coming on. I don't want to stay here in this insanity. I don't want to stand here when hideous sights, the people losing their mind. We look at men trying to act like beasts and look like beasts; (and that was back in 1965. What about today when they tattoo themselves like lizards and cut their tongues to look like lizards, and pierce their flesh like the pagan priests who cut themselves and pierced themselves in the days of Elijah) and the women trying to look like animals, with the paints on their face. Knowing that these things are predicted to happen, that the thing will, they'll go so insane till locusts will rise up with hair like women to haunt the women, and teeth like lions, and things that You've said; the mental condition of the people will be completely gone. We see it in the making right now, Lord. Help us. Restore us to the sane mind of Christ Jesus our Lord. O great Leader of Eternal Life, we accept Your promise tonight, Father. I plead for this people. I plead for every one of them, in the Name of Jesus Christ, Lord. I pray that Christ the Son of God will come into the hearts of every one of us, Lord, and mold us and make us into new creatures in Jesus Christ. Grant it, Lord God. We love You. And we want our dispositions, our change to come into us, that we can be Your children, feel of Your Spirit moving in our hearts, Lord, tendering us and bringing us to realization of this insane age that we're living in. Grant it, God. When we see young women so caught up in the web of the Devil, young men, perverted minds, children, dope addicts, cigarette smoking, drinking, immoral, Satan's Eden. God, it taken You six thousand years, according to the Bible, to build an Eden. And You put Your son and his wife in there (his bride) to rule over it. And Satan come around and perverted it; he's got six thousand years, and he's built his own intellectual Eden through science, and education, and so-called intelligence, and he's built it into a mess of death. O God, take us back to Eden again, Lord, where there's no death, where there's no sorrow. Grant it, Lord. We stand humbly, waiting for the Second Adam to come for His Bride. Make us part of Him, Father. We pray in Jesus' Name. Amen.

In 2007 there were over 230 million drug addicts in the world, and more than 20 million in the USA. So what is it today? I would think more than double that figure. It is doubling unto her double, don't you see we are at the end time. There won't be another generation to come.

Baptism of the holy spirit 58-0928M P:61 And then this young generation running around smoking, drinking, and everything, how do you expect another generation to exist? The reason we got sin, the juvenile delinquency now, the reason we got little girls on the street, and little boys is because their mothers and daddies did what they did in the bygone age. And the reason we still got preachers who'll stand for truth, the reason we still got some old fashion girls is because they had old fashion parents back behind them. That's exactly right. We still got preachers that stands uncompromising with any denomination or the Word is because that we had old fashion preachers in the back stood right on the same grounds. Yes.

God's provided place of worship 65-0425 P:77 Look at this teenage insane. Why, we had a... I told you the other day, they was taking an analysis there of the schools in Arizona where I live, and eighty percent of the children in school is mentally retarded. What will their children be? We can't have another generation. We're at the end. Jesus said these things would come. Look at all the televisions and things getting these fictitious things in order. It'll come a time, I predict, that people will be completely totally insane; the world will be. The Bible speaks of such hideous sights as they show in movies today of some prehistoric creature's age, that's lived in the earth for so many thousands and millions of years, hatch and come forth to some... That's just a minor thing to what's going to happen. When hell is opened and the Devil comes out with all of his mysterious things, of women--or locusts with hair like women, and teeth like lions. Why, the world will be completely, totally insane. It's not but just about one degree from it now.

Notice he said, When hell is opened and the Devil comes out... and even the people all over the world are concerned over CERN because they are trying to open a portal to another dimension, which is that fifth dimension where all sinners go. That is hell, where Satan and his angels live. That's the next dimension. we already live in three Time space and matter and then the fourth is radio and television waves, that's the ether dimension, and then the fifth is where the souls in prison reside, and the 6th is where the saints are waiting and the seventh is where God himself resides. As you know the top scientists working at Cern are Hindus who believe in Shiva the goddess of death. And they have a statue of shiva on location at the CERN facility in Geneva. Last year when I was in Geneva preaching I went to CERN to try to take a picture for myself by this statue but we could not get in because of security.

On the CERN website they say, " Extra dimensions

"As far as we know, we live in four dimensions, three of space and one of time. But experimentalists at the Large Hadron Collider are looking for evidence that the universe contains more than that. The existence of extra dimensions could explain some puzzling properties of the universe."

You can go online and watch these crazy cloud formations occur as the CERN is ramped up and putting our extreme energy into the underground circle of electronic rails that makes up CERN.

Invisible union of the bride 65-1125 P:50 But now, look what Hollywood has took the virtuous things from our women. I'm setting here looking at a dear old woman, Sister Schrader. Many of the women here, that and Sister Moore over here, the older women that remembers a few years ago, if their mother or even them, would have walked out on the street the way some of these women walk today (church members), they'd have locked the woman up for being insane. She forgot to put on her skirt. Well, if it was insane then, it's insane now. Well, look, the whole world proves it's insane. Look at the murders and things that's going on now in the world (See?): insanity. The whole thing is coming to fulfill Revelations; we may get to it this week, where those hideous things... Them's not natural; that's spiritual things that makes people scream to the rocks and the mountains and everything else to fall on them.

Spiritual things? The opening up of another dimension, the fifth dimension perhaps?

Knoweth it not 65-0815 P:31 Well, if it was sin and wrong then, it's the same thing; but the people has growed into insanity.

Notice they have grown into insanity.

Knoweth it not 65-0815 P:29 And if this woman... Now, she'd say, "Now, wait just a minute, Mr. Branham. I'll give you to understand, I am no prostitute." My sister, maybe if you'd be took before a Bible, put your hands upon It in the Presence of God and swear an oath that you'd been just as true to your husband as you could be. Your body belongs to your husband, but your soul belongs to God. There is a evil spirit that's anointing you. If you're not, then you're... I can prove that you're totally insane. What would've happened to your grandmother if she'd have walked down the street with them shorts on? They'd have put her in the insane institution; she come out without her dress on. There's something wrong with her mind. If it was so then, it's so now. So it throws the whole world into insanity. The whole thing's insane. And it's so gradually crept in till the people don't know it.

Knoweth it not 65-0815 P:32 Let me prophesy something to you just before it comes to pass. The whole world is groping in insanity, and will get worse, and worse, and worse until it'll be a bunch of maniacs, and it's almost that way now.

Serpent's seed 58-0928E P:13 So look here, if their mother was a chorus girl, and... Their grandmother, and her mother was a flapper, what's she today? A rock-and-roll striptease. What's her children going to be? And you say, "Does God do that?" Yes, sir. God visits the iniquity of the children, the generation, even to fourteen generations. And if Christ come to magnify it, we'd say a hundred generations or five-hundred generations. Why, He said, "Them of old... You've heard them say, them of old times, 'Thou shalt not kill. I say you, who's ever angry with his brother without a cause has killed already.' You've heard them said, them of old times, 'Thou shalt not commit adultery.' But I say that who looks upon a woman to lust after her has committed adultery already." He made it. What is magnify? Make it many times bigger. And if under the law it was fourteen generations, how long will it take the same thing today?

You sisters here and those who are watching this and, I've seen all over FaceBook years ago sister right in this message posing no different than these flappers did back in the 20's. Stay off Face Book. Don't you know its a tool of the devil to draw you away from Christ? Don't you know it was funded seed money by the NSA and the NSA and CIA both claim it is their best source of Humint? Human intelligence gathering?

Why would sisters post those awful suggestive pictures of themselves in various poses so the world could see? The Bible says without holiness no man will see God and that includes women too. And you young men, Why do you fashion after the world with goat tees? Satan is represented as a goat and a goat tee is named after the hair on the goats chin? Why did brother Branham preach so hard against that beatnik spirit in the 60's?

Why are we not a denomination? 58-0927 P:54 Listen, you young people today. I don't know whether you come to this church, or where you come, you young boys and girls. Did you realize, the things that you're doing, if there is another generation, your children will be judged for what you do? Haven't you no respect or decency? You girls that's out here wearing these little old shorts and things around, you know, that's reflecting on your daughter. Did you know your grand mammy was a flapper, and your mammy a chorus girl, and that's the reason you're a striptease today? It's certainly. What will your children be? Yes, sir. God said He'd visit the iniquity of the parents upon the children and their children, to three and four generations.

When their eyes were opened 64-0312 P:29 My, testing Jack Ruby the other day for insanity; they're still doing it. The whole world's insane. Sure, the man's crazy. No man can shoot another without being crazy. The whole world's crazy. Certainly it is. The farmer, he's crazy to the businessman; the businessman's crazy to the farmer. Who is crazy? The whole group is. There's only one sane thing, and that's Jesus Christ, the Son of God. And His Gospel has the answer to everything. Our books of psychology, and all these things, are nonsense. If it's contrary to this Word, throw it all away. God's Word is right, and all others are wrong. You see these things. No wonder the world's become drenched in blood. No wonder the things are the way they are now. We don't, it's just every time... Wonder if Oswald, that murdered our president, wonder if he'd have got an insane test. I doubt it. But you see, how can a man run in and shoot another man, and take his life, and go on? Well, I'm in Texas. I'll just stop on that. But let me tell you something. Every... The Lord will take care of it all someday at His coming. Notice. You have no right to take any man's life. No sir. God's the only One has right to take life. It's true.

Why 61-0413 P:12 Anybody that's real spiritual is, science says, is just one stage away from insanity from the world. So it's the human mind trying to cope with that mind there (You see?), you don't realize. No one will ever know on this side of eternity what it means.

He careth for you 60-0301 P:25 But he's still the same damnable thing that sends men's soul to hell, and young people to the insane institution; and has got an age up here of rock-and-roll idiots and beatniks, and juvenile delinquency, till it's become insanity. Even till our schools can't touch them; we lost twenty thousand teachers last year. Why? They're searching for something. They're looking for it, and the church has failed to give it to them. The reason they do that, because they were made that way to search.

Johns Hopkins Psychiatrist: Transgender is ‘Mental Disorder;' Sex Change ‘Biologically Impossible’

(CNSNews.com) --  Dr. Paul R. McHugh, the former psychiatrist-in-chief for Johns Hopkins Hospital and its current Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry, said that transgenderism is a “mental disorder” that merits treatment, that sex change is “biologically impossible,” and that people who promote sexual reassignment surgery are collaborating with and promoting a mental disorder.

So has the LGBT community opened their minds to Scientific Truth. No way, they want to sue the university over the study.

GBT Group Threatens Johns Hopkins Over Study on Homosexuality, Transgender

In a remarkable case of agenda politics eclipsing science, America’s largest LGBT group has threatened harm to Johns Hopkins University if it doesn’t censor the scientific findings of leading scholars on the origins of homosexuality and transgenderism.

In a recent major study titled “Sexuality and Gender: Findings from the Biological, Psychological, and Social Sciences,” researchers from Johns Hopkins found that there is virtually no scientific evidence that people are born gay or transgender.

He Careth for you 60-0301 P:23 And sometimes to be popular, they'll watch television and on the streets, and smoking, the lowest thing that women has done in the twentieth century, when women started smoking cigarettes. That's the greatest fifth columnist this nation ever had. It breaks morals; it sends these institutions out here full of insanity people; it sends the hospitals full of tubercular, cancer cases, and everything developing from it, and yet they do it to get comfort. God gave us something to comfort us: the Holy Spirit, God's Comforter. These things are only substitute that'll finally lead to a place rioting, and cheating, and stealing, and doing things wrong.

Hear recognize act on word 60-0221 P:98 Education's at the end. Juvenile delinquency is at the end. Children, there ain't no hopes for children; they done gone insane. You can't have no education. You can't go down here at the school and have, get a kid with education. He's a twofold child more of hell when he comes out than he is when he goes in. Let the teacher say something about it; he'll get killed; they'll form a little cluck and go out there and shoot the teacher, take him out and string him up. We lost two thousand teachers. Oh, wait a minute, I believe, twenty thousand teachers, this last year. I don't blame them. I wouldn't want to do it either. Now, they got signs up every time, "Give college education to these kids." They do need it, but the Devil's got them. The Devil's got them. And it's not only just normal to go out and be mean and take a gate off and hang it up in a tree on Halloween night, or do some little meanness like kids used to do, or take a farmer's buggy and set it out in the road, not like that; but they're insane. They do things that's insanity; shoot you, kill you, and murder you, poison you, anything. That's the next generation.

Now, I could give you loads and loads of articles showing exactly what brother Branham said, but I think we are all aware of the mental condition of the millennial generation. It's off the charts where sanity is concerned. and all I can say to you Millennial's that are listening to this around the world, Don't call yourself that. Call yourself sons and daughters of God. Stay clear of all that political identity insanity like global warming and LGBT tolerance. You've been lied to about those things. Those are lies. There is no evidence of Global warming.

1. The Climate-gate scandal proved that key data involving man-made climate change was manipulated.  In 2009, the public discovered emails from the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit exposing how scientists who have been enormously influential in promoting the concept of man-made climate change actually attempted to cook the books to obtain results that served their narrative that the planet was heating at a dangerous trend due to higher levels of carbon dioxide.

2. NASA may have also been involved in manipulating data to serve the narrative of man-made climate change. The Washington Times reported in 2009: "Under pressure in 2007, NASA recalculated its data and found that 1934, not 1998, was the hottest year in its records for the contiguous 48 states. NASA later changed that data again, and now 1998 and 2006 are tied for first, with 1934 slightly cooler."

3. NASA also declared 2014 to be the hottest year on record – despite the fact that they were only 38 percent sure about it. The latter fact was left out of their press release at the time, as well as the fact that 2014 was supposedly hotter than the previous hottest year, 2010, by 0.02C – well within the margin of error of 0.1C that scientists tend to adhere by.

4. There is no evidence that the Earth has been warming in recent years. As The Daily Caller highlights, a recent peer-reviewed study concluded that when accounting for El Ninos and La Ninas – which are the "the fluctuations in temperature between the ocean and atmosphere in the east-central Equatorial Pacific" that "occur on average every two to seven years," according to NOAA – there has been a flat-line temperature trend since 1997. In fact, the study found that the El Ninos and La Ninas disproved the existence of the Tropical Hot Spot, which the Environmental Protection Agency claimed as evidence of carbon dioxide supposedly warming the atmosphere.

5. The left likes to claim that 97 percent of scientists support the concept of man-made climate change. It's likely closer to 43 percent. The 97 percent myth stems from a variety of flawed studies, as the Daily Wire explained here. On the other hand, the PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency conducted a survey in 2015 that found that only 43 percent of scientists believe in man-made climate change, which is far from a consensus. 

6. The amount of Arctic sea ice has become quite high. Data from the Danish Meteorological Institute shows that the "average [ice] extent over the month [of September] is one of the highest in the last decade," according to Paul Homewood. This runs directly counter to the predictions of the climate change models. 

7. Money from the federal government and leftist organizations fuel a lot of misinformation from man-made global warming alarmists.  Climate change alarmism is an extremely lucrative industry. All in all, there have been over $32.5 billion of federal government grants that have funded climate change research from 1989-2009, far more than any research funded by the oil industry. National Review reports:

8. It is patently absurd to link Hurricane Matthew to climate change. Not just because of the aforementioned reasons, but because as Marco Morano points out at Climate Depot, "The data show for the last 10 years we have had an unusual drought of land falling major hurricanes (Category 3 and higher) on the continental U.S." "That’s right, no major hurricanes have made landfall for over a decade," Morano continued. "This is the longest such drought on record."

Look, all these things which the world is looking at, LGBTism, Global warming, The Paris climate summit, these are all scams to get tax payer money. They are all distractions and lies by the devil and his minions to get your young minds in a mess. Stay away from that stuff. It's all lies. There's only one thing you should have your mind on and that is Christ. Get ready for the rapture or you will stay behind for tribulation.

What is the Holy Ghost 59-1216 P:78 What is Christ? What is the Holy Ghost? It's not something people laugh at. It is something people laugh at, but it ain't to the believer. To the unbeliever... I wished I had a long two or three weeks; I'd like to take tomorrow night and tell you what It is to the unbeliever. Let me just run through just a moment of time. It's a laughing stock; It's a snare; It's a stumbling block; It's death; It's eternal separation from God. I just can't think of the things that It is to the unbeliever. Remember, the same rain that the unbeliever made fun of was the same rain that saved Noah and his family. See? The same Spirit (Holy Ghost) that people are making fun of and says is crazy, and a bunch of nuts, "It's insanity," it's the same thing that'll rapture the church and take it up at the last days, will bring judgment upon the unbelievers. That's right. That's what the Holy Ghost is. Blessed are they (May I say this in the sincerity of my heart.)--blessed are they that do hunger and thirst for It, for they shall be filled.

Discerning body of Lord 59-0812 P:26 Rightly discerning, rightly dividing... Whiskey, alcohol, why, they say that it's harmful. All over your television screen, all over every billboard, in your newspaper is a big cans of beer with lovely young women drinking it. They show you when they start. Look at them a little later from that. It fills their mind with poison toxin. Its increase of insanity is terrible. It causes immorality among the young. And even the churches today are preaching and practicing, many of them, "drink moderately." You know that's the truth. Telling their young folks at home and the parents, "Let your children drink. They're going to drink anyhow, so just teach them to drink moderately." The Bible condemns it. It's not right. God help a man with no more discernment than that, or a church. Can't discern the right from the wrong.

And we got churches right in this message that preach it's ok to have a drink with your meal. It's not ok, I have shown you many times where brother Branham calls it attributes of unbelief. Stay away from such as that. Without Holiness no man shall see God. Oh, they say, "some do and some don't" as though that makes it right to do. Then they say brother so and so did it, so it must be ok. Let me tell you something , brother so and so if he did do it, will have to answer to God for doing it because God's prophet said, Stay away from that stuff.

God's provided way 59-0415A P:43 Now, you take, many times, people who climb some other way will have that disgraceful name. Say, "That's a bunch of holy-rollers." Did you know that's what the apostles was called? Do you know, John the Baptist was declared a wild man? Did you know Jesus Christ was declared by the Sanhedrin Council an insane Man? "Now we know you're mad." "Mad" means "insanity." You know all the apostles was declared insane? But I like what Paul said, "In the way that's called heresy, so worship I the God of our fathers." Oh, because he'd been robed in that same righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ. That's what it is today, friend. So many people are trying to get in, but they're not taking God's provided entrance. And if you go any other way besides Jesus Christ... And when the apostles come into Jesus Christ, when the early Church came into Jesus Christ, they received the baptism of the Holy Ghost. It made them a different people. It made them act different, live different. Their whole life was motivated different. They had different motives. They had different objectives. Everything was different when they come into Christ.

Where is He King of Jews 58-1221M P:30 A good friend of mine called me a few days ago, and was talking to a person who studies psychology and the mind. And this person had read my book, and they said, "If he is a spiritual man, do you know that there is just one little thread between deep spiritual people and insanity?" And the person was rather alarmed. I said, "Don't think that strange. Our Lord was called crazy; all of His disciples were called crazy; and all that worshipped Him was called crazy. 'In the way that's called heresy,' said the great Paul, 'so worship I the God of my fathers.'" They are not crazy. But the world, the preaching of the Gospel is foolishness to those that perish; but it pleased God through this foolishness to save those who would believe.

Then Jesus came 57-0407E P:48 There you are. There you are. What is it? It's neurotics; it's mentally. And the doctors claim that nine out of every ten Americans is suffering with mental deficiency. Even the psychiatrists that's supposed to be mental interpreters, they are going wild and insane. They're hooking them by the great cuffs in the insane institution. Insanity is on the move. Rape is on the move. Whiskey is on the move. Sin is on the move. Debauchery is on the move. There's no way to stop it. Communism is sweeping in like a flood. There's no way to stop it because they're in the government and everywhere else.

Of course they are. Bernie Sanders was a professed communist, and Hillary was a secret communist. And all liberalism today is nothing but communism with a different name to it. But it's all just political lies from Satan.

Painted face Jezebel 56-1005 P:40 Why, here the day I met a bunch of women who was having a prayer meeting, shouting and speaking in tongues with shorts on, smoking cigarettes: Pentecostals. God have mercy. It's backslidden sinners is exactly what it is. I'm not judge, but, "By their fruits you shall know them."Do you realize it's insanity? Do you realize there's only one time in the Bible that anyone ever stripped their clothes off, and that was a devil possessed person? Do you realize that all this stuff that's going on today, these rock-and-roll parties that you all are attending, up in them places, when they go so frantic and get in such a maneuver, the Presley and them, till young ladies take their underneath clothes off and throw them up on the platform for him to autograph, and call that civilization, when they send dozens of them to the insane asylum afterward? And our radio programs and everything nearly you hear is full of that chaos? It's the devil like a roaring lion. And they're bringing that same thing, with boogie-woogie and everything into the church. Way in the Hottentots of Africa, that same mournful sound... When I seen them stand there, and the witch doctors, and they'd go, and them sounds. Heathens with paint over their face, and the young women would dance out there till they'd...?... sex parties and everything else. And America in it has reached the top of civilization and swinging backwards and going into heathens again, painting and rocking, and-rolling thus, and--and even calling themselves church members. Amen. Many a time... They had one here in Canada not long ago. And I think they sent ten kids in two days after that, to the insane institution. Sure. You better settle down to the old fashion Gospel and come back to Christ. Certainly they had. Draw the lines between right and wrong.

Testimony 63-1128M P:34 Let me tell you something. Real spiritual minds is one step from insanity. Did you know that? A scientific research will tell you that. Here you are down here slow and slumpy; and then you come up a little more spiritual; then you're about like this; then you go to like a dull axe; and then to a honed razor. Now you know which side you would fall on there. If a man tries to lift hisself up there, he's sure to go on the wrong side. If God lifts him up there, he's far above the average person. There's where visions and things break through. There's where the Kingdom of God is. Poets, prophets, and all were considered neurotics.

World again falling apart 63-1127 P:95 And another night, a roadhouse man, up for rackets and everything, just walked right in and jumped before the Texas police force with over a hundred and something standing there, walked right in; and everybody looking at him, pulled his gun out and shot a man in cold-blooded murder, and walk out. He'll plead insane, and go free. Right in our city, a man walked right into a garage the other day, in a little syndicate, and took a man that was a car dealer. He didn't like him; he just pulled out a gun and shot him, four or five times. And he said he was insane; they let him go. If it's insanity pleaded for that man, then also Oswald had a chance, should've had a chance to plead insane. What is it though? You see where it's at, the whole thing's a big bunch of corruption. The whole thing's guilty, and the whole world stands guilty, and the church stands guilty before God. Amen. No wonder we're falling apart. Let us pray.

Super sign 62-0708 P:31 Brother, we're at the age of insanity, that everything's become so super. We're just human beings. And they want a super race. Hitler said that Germany was the super race. Stalin said that Russians was a super race. Something wrong somewhere.

Oneness 62-0211 P:32 You see, why does the nation, why does this nation let the people be deceived? That oughtn't to be allowed to be said like that. That ought to be against the law. About the modern cigarette advertisement, what a disgrace, "Not a cough in a carload," all kind of... Well, that oughtn't to be allowed. What is it doing? It's deceiving. There's death in every one of them. There's death in the drinking of whiskey: rape, murder, insanity in the bottle. But yet we're allowed to put it on our programs and advertise it as "The kind that grandfather drank. More joy out of life," certain kinds of beverages of beer and alcohol. What is it? It's deceiving. It's placing something before the public to kill themselves with. And we're allowed to do it.

God's power to transform 65-0911 P:78 Let me tell you about you Arizonans here. You seen that analysis the other day of schools, didn't you? Eighty percent of the children in Arizona schools are suffering with mental deficiency, sixty-seven percent of them was by looking at television. How about that? You better use your shotgun. See? Now, don't let the Devil spray you with that. No, sir. Now, people, as I said, people act like they don't have to come to judgment. These boys and girls, they had some Indian family, and whole lot of stuff. I think a fellow named Mr. Pool is the head of it. And if I ever seen a modern mockery of hymns, it was way they handled it; a bunch of Rickies standing there, shaking their hands up-and-down.

Choosing of a bride 65-0429E P:65 If you'd tell a man or woman on the street that was stark naked, and tell them they were naked, and they say, "Tend to your own business," why, there's a mental deficiency there somewhere; there's something went wrong with their mind. And when you can read the Word of God how that people should do, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost that we have today, and people... Why, they look at you as if you were crazy. You tell them you got--they got to be born again; they got to believe the Bible. They say, "That was a Jewish fable for years ago. Our church has the way." Wretched, miserable, blind, naked, and don't even know it. What a...

One in a million 65-0424 P:23 And Brother Shakarian now just made a--a real statement just now about what he thought about these days that we're--we're living in. I truly believe that with all my heart, that we're living just at the closing time, just in a--just in the evening shadows. The sun is far advanced. And when we see things taking place the way they are today, why, it's hard telling what another generation would bring. A few days ago...Just let me give you a little inside something. They made an analysis throughout Arizona, where I live; of all the schools. They gave the children, unknowingly to them, a mental test. And guess what? Including high schools and--and grammar schools, there was eighty percent of the children suffering with mental deficiency. Seventy percent of them was television watchers. See, the evils has just slipped up on us and we don't... You wonder why it comes. You can hear the Voice of God screaming out against it, and yet here we--we find ourself webbed into it.

Going beyond the camp 64-0719E P:28 Where is the stopping place? Some man or woman at my age, I might ask you this. What if my mother or your mother about fifty years ago walked out on the street with one of these pair of shorts, or bikinis, ever what you call it on? The law would've picked them up immediately and put them in the insane institution. A lady left the house without her top clothes on, and she should be in the institution, because mentally there's something wrong. And if it was mentally to do a thing like that then, it certainly is a sign that something's went insane. It's still a mental deficiency. Going beyond reason, filth...

Hebrews Chapter 6 57-0908E P:64 That's the reason when God begin to manifest Hisself, they said, "Nonsense, we don't want nothing to do with that." They don't know God. They've never seen It. They can't understand It, because there's a different life in there. He doesn't know... Cocklebur doesn't know what the wheat's a doing. He's a different life. That's the way it is with a Christian, to the carnal believer, the confessor, who goes out and confesses, "Oh, yes, I'm a Christian," a big cigar in his mouth like a dehorned Texas steer. A woman with her shorts on, say, "Oh, yes, I'm a member of the church. Sure, I am." Your fruits prove that you're nothing but carnal. That's right. Certainly, it is. There's only one thing to allow for that: that's either mental deficiency or a spirit of lust on you. That's right.

Hebrews Chapter 4 57-0901E P:18 So, you see, Brother Wood said to me, "What do you allow for that, Brother Branham?"I said, "It's either mental deficiency or devil possession." There's only two things to make it. A decent, clean woman won't wear those things unless she's devil possessed. That's exactly the truth. Now, a pilgrim that's on his road to heaven, he lives in a different atmosphere. You don't have to worry about him looking at her. He'll turn his head if he's got God in his heart, for he's living in an atmosphere that's a million miles from those things. That's right. You don't want to be guilty of that stuff at the judgment. So he turns his head and say, "God, have mercy on the woman," and on he goes. We're in our journey. We're on our way to Canaan's land. We're on our way to that eternal and blessful rest that God has given us. And in the journey, we're tempted. We're tempted of all kinds of things, but yet be tempted without sinning.

Then Jesus came 57-0407E P:48 There you are. There you are. What is it? It's neurotics; it's mentally. And the doctors claim that nine out of every ten Americans is suffering with mental deficiency. Even the psychiatrists that's supposed to be mental interpreters, they are going wild and insane. They're hooking them by the great cuffs in the insane institution. Insanity is on the move. Rape is on the move. Whiskey is on the move. Sin is on the move. Debauchery is on the move. There's no way to stop it. Communism is sweeping in like a flood. There's no way to stop it because they're in the government and everywhere else.

Let us pray
