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."
2 Peter 1: 1 - 15 Established in the present truth. The truth
that you now have. The Message of the Hour.

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.
EMPHASIZED BIBLE BY
II TIMOTHY 4:3-4 For there will be a season when
the healthful teaching they
will not endure,
But according to their own covetings will unto themselves heap up teachers. Because
they have an itching ear, and from the Truth indeed, their ear will turn away, While unto stories they will
turn themselves aside.
NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION
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
AMPLIFIED VERSION
II TIMOTHY 4:3-4 For the time is coming when
people will not tolerate nor will they endure sound doctrine and wholesome
instruction, but having ears itching for
something pleasing and gratifying , they will gather to themselves one teacher
after another to a considerable number, chosen to satisfy their own liking and
to foster the errors they already hold. And these people will turn aside from
hearing the Truth They will fall away and deviate from the Truth and they shall
wander off in to myths and man-made fictions.

Truth and be brought into fables"-dogmas!
NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION
HOSEA 4: 6-10 My people are destroyed
from a lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, I also will
reject you as my priests; Because you have ignored the law of
your God I also will ignore your children. (no Token for you) The
more the priests increased, the more they sinned against me; they exchanged
their Glory for something disgraceful. ( in other words, They exchanged
Truth for fables). They feed on the sins
of my people and set their hearts on their iniquity. (
And iniquity the bible tells us is "he that knoweth to do right and
does not do it, to him it is iniquity.) And
it will be: like people , like priests. I will punish both of
them for their deeds. They will eat but they shall not have enough; they
will engage in prostitution but not increase, because they have deserted the
Lord to give themselves over to prostitution, which is the mixing of the old wine and new wine which in itself
takes away the understanding of my people.
Notice here how God calls the mixing of the old and
new wine an idolatrous thing which he calls whoredom or prostitution. And
notice even further how he tells us that the mixing of old and new wine will
cause one to lose their understanding.
You see, God wants us to be transformed by the RE-NEW-ING of our mind.
That word is re-NEW, as in NEW, not old but NEW. NEW
thoughts, NEW mind. Let THIS MIND be in you.

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.
In other words, just because God allows them, doesn't
put His stamp of approval on them. This gets
back to perfect will verses permissive will. You see all these denominations
began with a truth. Each held to a certain Truth that they saw from the
scripture and held on firm to that Truth. But where they went off is that they
did not go on with the rest of what God had to offer.
"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.

Would it be,
you think, advisable in here, to say that God then, in order to--to proclaim
this, has to send a prophet in order to inject this, make this real again, show
the people the hour we're living in? Because if they only see it in the hour past, then there's no hope
for the church. The
church must see it in the present tense. So God sends His prophet to
manifest, present tense of it. You see? And then, after it's over, then
history is. Now, you might inject that,
Brother Lee. I don't know whether that's any good or not, but it's just--just a
thought right here. Thanks a lot.
KING JAMES VERSION
I TIMOTHY 3:1-2
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that
in the latter times some shall depart
from The Faith, giving heed
to seducing Spirits and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having
their conscience seared with a hot iron.
( Remember, there is only "One Lord
and only One Faith.") Ephesians 4
AMPLIFIED VERSION
I TIMOTHY 3:1-2 But the Holy Spirit distinctly and
expressly declares that in the latter times some will turn away from The Faith,(abandoning it) by giving attention to
deluding and seducing spirits and doctrines that demons teach. Through hypocrisy and pretensions of liars whose consciences are
seared. ( cauterized)
Now notice here that their consciences are seared.
They are cauterized. Now when you want to stop the blood you must cauterize the
wound. And the Life is in the blood. Therefore, these cut off the flow of the
blood or the life blood of God which is His Word, by stifling that Word.
Allowing men who have been proven to be liars to teach any way and then hearing
what these men have to say knowing full well that they have been caught in
lies.
Romans 1: 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all
ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who
hold the Truth in unrighteousness; (these hold down the Truth,
they suppress it. ) That is another way to stop the flow of blood. You use a
tunicate.) The trouble is the Word of God which is the True Doctrine of God is
God Breathed. It is the Life of God that He breathes into us. And what they
don't realize is that they have put the tunicate on their own necks.
2 Timothy 3: 16 All scripture
is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training
in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every
good work.
Now another thing about these men is that it said
their conscience have become seared.
Romans 1: 18 - For the wrath of God is revealed from
heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who hold the Truth in unrighteousness; For that
which is known about God is evident to them and made plain in their inner
consciousness, because God Himself has shown it to them. For ever since the
creation of the world His invisible nature and attributes, that is, His Eternal
power and Divinity have been made intelligible and clearly discernible in and
through the things that have been made - His handiwork's.
So men are without excuse - altogether without defense or justification. (Read
Psalm 19) 21 Because when they knew and recognized Him as The
God, they did not honor and Glorify Him as God, or give Him thanks. But instead
they became futile and Godless in their thinking - with vain imaginings,
foolish reasoning and stupid speculations - and their senseless minds were
darkened. Claiming to be wise they became fools - professing themselves to be
smart, they made simpletons of themselves.......28 And so, since they do not see fit to acknowledge God or
approve of Him or even consider Him worth the knowing, God gave them over to a
base and condemned mind to do things not proper or decent but loathsome; Until
they were filled - permeated and
saturated with every kind of unrighteousness, iniquity, grasping and covetous
greed and malice. They become full of envy and jealousy, murder, strife,
deceit, and treachery, ill will and cruel ways. They become secret backbiters
and gossipers, Slanderers, hateful to and hating God, full of insolence,
arrogance and boasting; inventors of new forms of evil, disobedient and
undutiful to parents. They are without understanding, conscienceless and
faithless, heartless and loveless and merciless. Though they are fully aware of
God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve to die, they not
only do them themselves but they also approve and applaud others who practice
such things.
Brothers and sisters, when you hold down the truth,
you are suppressing the life flow of Gods very Life to you. Then all that is
left is to begin rotting. And this last scripture shows you the process of
death that sets in when the truth is suppressed. Just like gang green that sets
in when the blood is restricted and kept away from one of your limbs. You cut
off the life blood and you limbs will rot. Your blood carries with it oxygen
and nutrition to the different parts of your body, but if you suppress and hold
down that blood by applying a tunicate, it will cut off the oxygen and
nutrition to that part of your body and then death sets in.
Now remember, the Word of God is God breathed. It is
the oxygen and nutrition that every fiber of our body needs. Brother Branham
said,
"When Word is piled upon word upon word, it will take a hold of every
fiber of you body." But if you hold down the Truth, then it cannot
reach every
fiber of your body to take it over and bring forth the change. From SHOW
US THE FATHER & ATTITUDE
AND WHO IS GOD brother Branham said, "God will make your body to obey
your confession." He said if your confession is that you are a
drunkard, your body will want to take a drink. But if your confession is that
you are a son or daughter of God then your body will act like one because He is
the High-priest of our confession. He said, "
Before you can be healed you have to confess it
first, you have to believe that you are healed, and then when you believe that
you are healed, then God makes your body obey your confession."
So those who don't even care one way or the other,
they are only vacillating in their thinking and a double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
We are not dealing with a God who has given us a hope
so. We are dealing with a God who is the Father of all Life. In Him was Life
and the Life is the Light of man. This Life is the light, it is the
understanding and knowledge of how to live and have our beings in subjection to
Life.

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 pass-over at evening,...
Remember we said the blood is the name. It is the
identifier of all our attributes and characteristics. It is the door to our
DNA. It is the identification of the Life we possess. Our very nature is
scribed into the alchemy of our blood.
And you can't mix your blood type with another or you will die. You must
have the same blood type.

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...

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.
