GOD'S.PROVIDED.PLACE.WORSHIP - SHP.LA - V-7 N-4 - 65-1128.1M
Now, verse 4,
notice, "Leave no bread, leave none of the sacrifice," or, take
one from one age to another. Try to
go back and say, "Well, now, we're Lutherans, we want to come up
here," you've got to die to the Lutheran age to be borned in the Wesley
age. You have to die in the Wesley age to be borned in the Pentecostal age. And
you have to die in the Pentecostal age, leave nothing of it left, burn it
with fire, because it's going to be burnt like the stalk that the wheat
comes up out of. The stalk, the denomination, it's got to be burned.
So don't bring your denomination over in the new Message. This is the Word now.
That's what denominated, the stalk; it carried It, that's right; but It come
over into here, then the stalk died. It was a carrier, the denomination, but
the Word goes right on. Yeah, the Word goes right on.
"And you have to die in the Pentecostal age,
leave nothing of it left, burn it with fire, because it's going to be burnt
like the stalk that the wheat comes up out of. The stalk, the
denomination, it's got to be burned. So don't bring your denomination over
in the new Message. This is the Word now."
Now, notice what he is saying here, because he just
got done telling us that the blood which is the name which is the
identification of the Life and this Life identifies what form of sacrifice you
are sacrificing. And So then he tells us that the
Pentecostal sacrifice is dead and rotten and is out of season and all of it
must be buried and forgotten. I think this is the hardest thing for
people to see today because he said, this Word, this sacrifice, came out from
the ranks of Pentecost but is another Sacrifice altogether. And people want to
hold onto their Pentecostal sacrifice which is the fruit offering of your lips.
So they still talk Pentecostal things and they still look back upon Pentecostal
good times and in doing so, they have put aside the true sacrifice of this
hour, The very Appearing of Christ in our Midst, the
True Token, the True Identifier of the Life. Now remember, the blood
represented the Life, of what was being sacrificed on the inside of the home,
right? And it was called the token by God, Right? Then what is our Token today, that is the True identifier of the Life that is in
our sacrifice? It is very Presence of the Holy Ghost among us, right? Then if
The Token was to identify what Life was in the sacrifice, and our sacrifice is
this Message of God, His Shout, then is not the fact that our Token is the Holy
Ghost Himself tell you He is here identifying that His Word also is Life to us?
Then any other sacrifice will never do. It becomes death.
"And you have to die in the Pentecostal age,
leave nothing of it left, burn it with fire, because it's going to be burnt
like the stalk that the wheat comes up out of. The stalk, the
denomination, it's got to be burned. So don't bring your denomination over
in the new Message. This is the Word now."
That means everything must be burned and put out of
our remembrance, including the order of the PENTECOSTAL church service. That is
why brother Branham said when we come into this building we must come in
reverently and prayerfully in worship. He said we come for the Word. He said
keep the song service short and put the emphasis on the Word. He said, the
gifts were to be in order in a little room, and if you can't do this then don't
do it at all. And when brother Branham
preached church order many of the Pentecostal people walked out. But we were
turning a corner and they got left at the turn. We need to rethink these
things. We need to examine these things. What about the songs we sing? Are they
Pentecostal, for another age? Or do they reflect the Great One Among us and the
Message of His Presence and Appearing among us. Our prayer
life, our discussions, our desires. Do they reflect a reality that
anytime now He may call forth the resurrection or do we
still long for this mere existence on earth in these rotten and corruptible
bodies that are so enticed to sin. " And unto
them who look for Him shall He appear the second time, without sin unto
Salvation."
1 Peter 1: 3 - 13 (read &
explain) a last time salvation.
DIAGLOTT II TIMOTHY 4:3-4 For there will be
a time when they will not endure wholesome instruction, but will accumulate
teachers for themselves, according to their own inordinate desires, tickling
their ear. And they will indeed turn away from the hearing of the truth, and be
turned aside to fables.
NIV II TIMOTHY 4:3-4 For the time will come when men
will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they
will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to
hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
KJV II TIMOTHY 4:3-4 For the time will come when they
will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves
teachers, having itching ears. And they shall turn away their ears from the
truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
Anointed Ones pp.140 " And
shall be turned from the Truth and be brought into fables"-dogmas!
Anointed Ones pp.139 Now
notice! These fellows appeared...Oh, you people, don't miss this! These
imposters, impersonators, appeared after the true one had went
first! they come to impersonate. See, they have to!...to pervert the original
Word, vindicated and proved to be the truth!
Anointed Ones pp.44 Jesus
tells you here now in Matthew 24 it would be a sign at the end time. Now, if
this sign is only to be known at the end time, then it'll have to be after the
opening of those Seals. See? It's a sign of the end! That would be, when these
things happens it'll be at the end time. And it'll be a sign, now, so the
Elected will not be confused in these things. You see it? Then it's got to be
revealed, exposed.
Anointed Ones pp.55 "By
revelation Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than that of Cain,
which God testified he was righteous."....sins." He is the revelation of God, the Spirit of God
revealed in human form. If you can't believe that, your
lost.
But Moses the true sent prophet from God, commissioned
by God, he never fussed with them, said, "here,
you can't do that! you can't...." He just let
them alone, just let them go on. They're organizational prophets, but go ahead.
Moses just went right on, listened to God. pp.138
Did Moses fuss at them and say, "Here, here, you
can't do that. I'm the only one's been ordained to do
that. Here, you stop that right now!" He just let them go, let them go on.
Remember, the Bible said, "As, their folly was made manifest, so will
these in the last day be made manifest, "when the bride is raptured and
taken in the sky. pp.153
Why would He let an impersonator rise up to do it and
do the same exactly the genuine Spirit of God done? See, the scripture must be
fulfilled. Notice! He did this so that He would harden the heart of pharaoh and
the Egyptians. To prove that Moses wasn't the only one who had the Word, they could
do everything just the same as Moses could do. And why did God let this thing happen in the
last days? So the same thing as the lying spirit said to Zedicaiah. "How
we going to get Ahab out there to make these things come to pass? "How is He going to get these people trusting in
their churches that He predicted that, in this Laodicean church age?
"Because thou saith thou art rich and have need of nothing. ..." pp.151
Notice! Moses, the true, manifested Word, never said
nothing, just let it go. But he did that so He could harden the Heart of
Pharaoh, deceive pharaoh. He did that very same thing so He could deceive Ahab. pp.154
Notice! Remember, the shuck looks exactly like the
wheat grain. pp.158
Remember, the shuck is exactly like the grain of
wheat's... pp.159
Only the Elected or the predestinated will be able to
detect the difference between them. pp.160
And notice how bold these unbelievers are, or these
make believers ,and unbelievers. My, they're bold!
Look, even as Satan stood right up in the presence of the True Word, and said,
"It's written." Is that right? Why did satan
do that? It's because he didn't know the Word for that...he knew the Word
was fort hat hour, but he doubted this humble little Man being that Word. "If thou be the Son of God. I know the Son of God's
coming, 'cause it said He would do that. And it's written, `He'll give his
Angels charge over thee.'" See? "Prove it to me! Do a miracle! Let me
see you do it." pp.179
How bold they are. pp.180
Look at the last days, it'd be so close it'd deceive
the very Elected if it was possible. Oh, my! The
reason the Elected won't be deceived, you know why? Is because
they are the Word. See? Just like the life that's in the root (I said
awhile ago), it can't deny itself. See? It is the Word and in the season of the
Word. that's right.......
pp.182
That's the reason that Micaiah could say, "All
right, you just wait and see." pp.183
Miacaiah said,"If you return at all, the Lord
hasn't spoken to me." He knowed he had THUS SAITH THE LORD, and his vision
was exactly with THUS SAITH THE LORD, not for some other season, but for
that season! Amen! hallelujah! The season! pp.184
Bold, stand
up and dispute with a Angel. It's been said that
fool's will trod with hobnailed shoes where Angels fear to walk. That's right. pp.185
The reason the Elected, Jesus said, won't be deceived,
because they are the Word. They can't hear nothing
else. they don't know nothing else. That's right!
Remember, Moses wasn't carried away by all their impersonations. Was he?........he stood just as firm as he could stand. he knowed exactly God would take care of it some how, `cause
He promised to. "I'll be with you. I'll not leave you." pp.186
He stayed
right with God. He wasn't carried away by all the things they could do.....He
brought everything; they impersonated him every way right along. He just
stood still. he knowed exactly what-God was on the job. pp.187
Why, they won't be deceived by it, the real believer;
they are predestinated Seed that should stand in the day. pp.188
Notice! Come up to the borderline and quit. pp.195
Going to their home, and when they come up to the
place to cross over, they doubted the Word!........What
happened? They perished
in the wilderness. They stayed right there and organized themselves, and died, every one of
them,........ pp.198
Jesus said, "my sheep
know My Word." "Oh," you say, "hear My
voice." That's His Word. "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by
every Word." See? The predstinated knows this. A strange word or strange
voice, they won't follow. pp.211
"Where the carcase is there will the eagles be
gathered......Where the fresh meat is, the Word of the Season, there the eagles
will gather." But after it's rottened then the
vultures will swarm to it. See, see? See what I mean? When a kill
's made here comes the eagles, but after it lays there and rotten, then
here come the vultures. The eagles won't have nothing
to do with it. Jesus said, "Where the carcase is, where the manna fell,
the night the manna falls fresh, there the eagles will gather for it."
That's the manna for the day. See? pp.214
Notice! But after it gets rotten, maggots get in it, then here comes the vultures. They can't smell it till it
gets rotten. pp.215
Said, "I AM sent me." I AM, not I was, or
will be, I AM, present tense, the Word now. Not the Word that was or Word that
will come, the
Word that's now. pp.219
"For it is impossible for those which were once
enlightened and didn't move on with the Word as it come
to pass... They're dead,
gone. pp.233

65-1128.1M
Now take the
5th and the 6th verse. Notice, "Not..." Now let's take the 5th and
the 6th verse: Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover
within any of the gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee:
178
GOD'S.PROVIDED.PLACE.WORSHIP - SHP.LA - V-7 N-4 - 65-1128.1M
Now remember,
"Not in any of these gates." The Lord permits you to have these
denominations, see, "these gates. "But at
the place which the LORD... God shall choose to place his name in,... That's the Gate,
the only place. Not many, "these gates," but God has a Gate.
180 GOD'S.PROVIDED.PLACE.WORSHIP - 65-1128.1M You say, "Every morning I enter the Methodist
gate." That's the church. "Every morning I go into the Catholic
gate." Uh-huh. Well, the Lord let His people go in and out them gates. God's got people in the Catholic church,
Methodist church, Presbyterian church, all of them, Pentecostals. Sure, but
don't... you don't worship the Lord in that gate. See? But the Lord has a
certain gate. Glory! He has a gate. But at the place which the LORD thy
God... choose to place his name in, there... shall thou sacrifice the passover
at evening,...
181 When did Rebekah find Isaac? When did Eliezer call her
to be the bride? Evening time!
It shall
be Light about the evening time
The way to Glory you will surely find; In that water way is the Light
today, Buried in the precious Name of Jesus Young and old, repent of all your
sins, The Holy Ghost will surely enter in; The evening Lights have come, It is a fact that God and Christ are one.
182 That was the beginning of It, now she stayed right on
into the Bride Light. See what I mean?
183 I
better close here, start again tonight, 'cause I don't want you to leave this,
you see. No, no, it's--it's dinner time. Well, well, I got too many notes wrote
here. Oh, my! How about tonight, would that be better? Huh? Well, you sure? You
want to just try a little further? All right, let's go a little further then,
we will hurry right quick. How's that?
184 Now, go in at the what? "You shall not go into
any gate that the Lord God has given you, but at the gate that the Lord will
put His Name in." Not go into the house of the--of the gate which is
the door. That right? God's going to put His Name at the door,
and you shall not... That's the gate that enters into the place of worship,
the sanctuary. You don't go in there with your sacrifice to any of these gates,
but in the gate that the Lord God chooses to put His Name in. See?
185 Now,
has He did that? Where is that gate? In St. John 10,
Jesus said, "I am the gate, the door. I am the door to the House of
God. I am a door to the sheepfold." Not the goatfold, the sheepfold.
See? "I am the door to the sheepfold. A man may enter into this door,
be safe."
186 And
now we could linger a long time on that. But, to save time, He is the door to
that sheepfold. Now, we want to notice here. The shadows and types are really
in view right here, but I... if I take that page I'd... it's going to hold you
awhile.
187 All right, notice, this brings in perfect view, Jesus
Christ. For all the Old Testament is type of Him, all the feasts, all the
worships, and everything. Now, I've got wrote down here, under these line of
Scriptures, "Explain it." There's where it'd take a long time.
Explain how all the feasts... Even the meal offering was a type of Christ.
Let's just take that one
188 One time there was a--a school called the school of
the ministers, or school of prophets, they trained up an educated prophet. And
there was a genuine, God-called prophet one time went up to visit them. They
were going to show the old prophet a little courtesy, so one of them went out
and picked a big bunch of what he thought to be peas; but they were poison
gourds, and he was going to feed them all on that.
189 Oh! How many seminary lapfuls have we had! See? Right. They're cooking up something. See? They got Methodist
lapfuls, Baptist lapfuls, Pentecostal lapfuls. But,
you see, they are the second growth, the kind that can be pruned off the tree.
See, not in the main Vine. Bearing lemons, grapefruits, and so
forth; not oranges, but professing to be citrus.
190 Notice again. Now, in this--in this,
when Elijah come around and looked at them, and seen that it was poison gourds
that would kill every one of them, they said, "Alas, we got death in the
pot!"
191 He
said, "Bring me a handful of meal." And he
throwed meal into it, he said, "Now it's all right, eat what you
want." It changed death to life. 192 And
the meal offering that was given to... Christ, He was the Meal
offering, and the meal offering must be ground with a certain
burr that made every little chunk of meal the same, shows that He's the
same yesterday, today, and forever. He's the same thing to put in your
denomination and it'll live, the Word! Christ is the Word,
all the types of everything: the tabernacle, the--the--the shewbread,
everything. The broken kosher under the plate was His broken body, that
the Jews can't explain yet why they do it. See? And all these other things
typed Him.
193 GOD'S.PROVIDED.PLACE.WORSHIP - SHP.LA - V-7 N-4 -
65-1128.1M
Now, then, Him
in view, we see now all denominations and creeds left behind; for He is the
pure, unchangeable Word of God, which is the unleavened bread, St. John 1.
That's right, He's the unleavened Bread. So you add this, or add that, it's a
leavened added to that what's already been originally give for you.
194 Looky here. What's killing the race today? They take
and hybrid things. And when you hybrid it, you kill it. "Oh, it looks more pretty." Sure! Hybrid corn: corn flakes, all
the other cereals that comes out of corn. Hybrid corn: great, big, nice long
stalks, and great big ears, look like twice as good as the other. But it's
death! Science even has found that out. See? Don't cross it, it'll kill
you.
195 Now,
here, let me show you. The other day I was watering some flowers in my yard.
And the lady had some hybrid flowers that was in a
little pot here, a little planter beside the house. We have to water them things at least three times a week, or four, or they'll
die. And there stood the original plant out in the yard. It hasn't rained there
for six month, just as dry... If it rains, in ten minutes you can blow dust.
But that little fellow laying out there, just prettier
and brighter than the hybrid was with all the water. You keep that water off of
him, he will die. But where did he get his water? And another thing, you have
to go all along spraying them every day or two, to keep the lice off of him.
They don't, the lice will eat him up, he's so tender
and soft. But there ain't a louse that'll get on that original. No, no! He will
crawl up to him and crawl away. He's original! See what the hybreeding has
done?
196 That's the same thing in the church. They're trying to mix the denomination with the Word,
to make the... try to make the Word say what the denomination says. And
when you do that, you have to spray them, and baby them, and--and give them
gold stars to come to Sunday school, and everything else. That's right. When, a
genuine, borned-again Christian, borned with the Word of God, he's rugged,
can't kill him. The lice and things of the world don't bother him. He's a eagle, he flies plumb a-past it. See, soars in the
heavenly. See? It is true. Nothing...
197 Notice. Now, we must
understand that here, the denomination, creeds, and anything that's added of
the a-leavened bread cannot mix with the unleavened bread. And the Bible
foreshadows here in the sacrament, of going into the worship, that no
unleavened can be taken with you, and God will receive it.198 You say, "I'm Methodist." Right there you die!
"I'm Pentecostal's." You die! 199 I am of Christ. That's
right. You've got to stand on something. That's right. You're--you're standing
on something.
