Spoken Word #31

“The Voice is the Judge”

Brian Kocourek

June 22nd, 2008

John Chapter 12 Verse 47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. 48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

This morning I would like to examine some things brother Branham tells us from paragraph  25-27 about the Voice of god being the Judge.    25Now, if you'll be real understanding, or try to be, you'll see why I have took always the stand for the Word of God that I have; because all other things must perish; God is eternal, and His Word is eternal. Now, as you study, and I'll try to speak just as lengthily as I can so that you'll get the words; and I do that for the tapes also, that you must know that this Bible is God's Word.

  26   Now, we know that we're coming to a judgment, that the Voice of God has going to catch up with us somewhere, because it was given to every mortal to hear. Ministers are responsible of taking it, and if this Voice of God has to catch up with every person, then we've... You've got to hear it either here or at the judgment bar. So if the church has the Voice of God, then you must hear the voice of the church as our Roman Catholic people tell us. And when they, in themselves, are so confused indifference in their doctrine (the Roman, the Greek and their different types), then there cannot be any place to have faith because which one is the church?

  27   Is the Roman church right, or is the Greek church right, or is some of the other churches right? Is the Lutherans right? Baptists right? Methodists right? Presbyterians right? or who is right when there is so much difference in them? One is as far as the east from the west from one another, but to my opinion the Voice of God is the Judge. So the Voice of God, and if it's so perfect, it's got to come from some perfect resource, and if men bring it one way and another way with their difference of denominations, then there's no way to set a faith surely in what they're saying.

Now, with these things in mind, we can see that the voice of God is His Prophets, and so we shall look at the office of a prophet and begin to see the sovereignty of God and God’s direct involvement in vindicating His Prophets.

Deuteronomy 18:15 ¶ The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;

Now, this is not just some sort of take it or leave it proposition that God is speaking of here. God tells them through Moses that there is coming a Prophet like Moses that the people had better take notice of and pay close attention to what He has to tell them. He says that you had better hearken to this prophet and this word hearken is the Hebrew word, shama' {shaw-mah'} and means 1) to hear, listen to, obey and give heed.

Now, what do we infer when we say that you need to pay heed to something. What does the word heed mean anyway? It means to pay close attention, careful attention to, and it has a reward associated with it. Can anyone tell me what reward is associated with tasking heed? The answer is your protection.

Now why do you suppose the lord said that the people had better take heed to what this prophet speaks to them? We find the answer in verse 18.

In verse 18 we read, “I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and [I] will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. 19 And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require [it] of him.

In other words, When I send this prophet, he is coming to cause the people to have make a choice. They will be put to the test, and they will have to make a decision. In other words, they are going to have to judge whether they want to or not. And with what judgment they make, they will either be saved or destroyed.

Jesus said, Matthew 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Romans 2:13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. ¹⁴ (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law, ¹⁵ since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.) ¹⁶ This will take place on the day when God will judge men's secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.

Notice, even thus shall it be in the days when the Son of Man is Revealed. That’s about as plain as it gets. He tells you right here, in the days when Lot is sitting in the gate as a judge, a senator, they will be concerned, not with the truth, nor with the Word of God, but their concern will be about planting and building. And why do you plant and build? For the future. And in that day, the Son of Man will be revealed and they will be so focused on business as usual, they will reject the Word afresh, and put it to an open shame.

Amos 3:5 Can a bird fall in a trap upon the earth, where no snare [has been set] for him? shall [one] place a snare in the earth, where there is nothing at all to catch? 6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be disaster in a city, and the LORD hath not done [it]? 7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. 8 The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?

When God sends you a prophet, it is because God wants you to know something. This is the man that you must listen to. And He gives you a choice, you either listen and be saved, or if you choose not to listen, you will be destroyed. Not much of a choice, but I like it that way. Strait to the point. He said, “this is the way, walk ye in it.”

Isaiah 30:18 ¶ And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD [is] a God of judgment: blessed [are] all they that wait for him.

And when God sends His prophets it usually has a two fold reason for this coming. One, to prepare God’s children, to make them ready, to warn them first and then to bring forth judgment. Warning then judgment. The prophet is a judge to bring forth warning first. Then when the warning is not headed, God takes away His Prophet and then sends judgment.

On July 24^th, 1963, After the Seals were opened, Brother Branham preached a Message he called, “WARNING THEN JUDGMENT, GOD DOESN'T CALL MAN TO JUDGMENT WITHOUT FIRST WARNING HIM’

In this message Brother Branham said, “God never even brings judgment upon the earth without first giving the people a warning. God never does nothing without declaring it first what He's going to do. And He gives people a choice, and you can do right or wrong. That's His... See, God can never change His nature. His program can never change from what He started with, because He's infinite and His program and His ideas are all perfect.”

And we found in the Book of Deuteronomy that God spoke to Moses and said, He would send them a prophet and the people had better take heed… We find Peter speak of the same thing in Acts 3:22.

Acts 3:22 22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. 23 And it shall come to pass, [that] every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

Therefore, God has warned us, “take heed to the Message My prophet brings or you will be destroyed.”

Former and Latter Rain 017 Now, God has set, not man, God has set in the church apostles, prophets, teachers, pastors and so forth. God set them in the church. If God put them in there, they're qualified for the job. God wouldn't put a man in a tower, in a position like that that said, "The days of miracles is past." God would not put a man into position like that to be a prophet or seer that would say that Jesus Christ isn't the same yesterday, today, and forever, when the Bible declares Him to be. God would not put a man in a tower there, that would preach a wishy-washy Gospel and not tell the truth and warn the people of the wrath that is to come. He'd put a man in there that would be bold, that would have the--a spirit that seen the oncoming judgment; and regardless of what the people said, he'd warn them anyhow, cry out against it. He doesn't put blind prophets in His tower. He puts prophets, preachers who foresees the coming judgment and warns the people to flee.

Warning then Judgment The prophet is a special man. A prophet is a man of whom the Word of the Lord comes to, because the prophet is so designed life that his subconscious and his first conscious is so close together that he doesn't go to sleep to dream his dream; he sees it when he's wide awake. See? Now, that's something God has to do. See, he sees what's going. A prophet foresees way off (See?) the things that is coming. He sees the cup of God's wrath, full, before it is filled. See? He can say, "THUS SAITH THE LORD. God will destroy this city except you repent." Why? He's an eagle. He rides way in yonder. See? And he looks way off there, and he sees that cup of wrath poured out. That's what the prophets look at. He ain't looking what's going on here; he's looking yonder. He's saying, "It's a-coming." He can go so high till he can see that shade. He said, "The world will be...?... darkness and gross darkness." He's up high enough, the sun's shining now, but he sees that shade coming, and he's--he's--he's saying what he's looking at. It ain't here yet, but it'll sure be here. That's right. It's going to be here, gross darkness upon the people. He knows it's coming, years away, yet he sees it.

Laodicean Church Age 60-1211E 66 037 Now, watch, I get back to Malachi the 4th chapter, again. Now, remember, He said here that before the great and noble, terrible day of the Lord shall come, "I will send to you Elijah the prophet." The 5th verse: But I will send unto you... the prophet... I will send to you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the... [Congregation says, "LORD."--Ed.] Where do we find in the Lord's day? At the end of the age. That's when the world is going to be burned. You remember how we took Him with a white wig on, you know, and His breast, and girded about the paps. You remember that? And we proved by the Bible it wasn't a sabbath day, neither a Sunday; it was the Lord's day. Is that right? And that's the day that He comes as a Judge, and will smite the earth with a curse. Is that right? And I will send to you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:

Now, notice, it is the Judge who comes to smite the earth with a Curse. Therefore, He has to be present to do this. He must be here to smite the earth with the Curse. And what curse are we talking about? The curse God pronounced upon those who will not hearken to His Voice. Deuteronomy 28.

Power of Decision 061 Notice, it wasn't Moses' rod, that was God's judgment rod. That's what He brought the judgments on Egypt with. He brought the judgment. And notice, it was a judgment rod that smote the rock. And it was the judgments of God, "the day you eat of it, that day you die," that smote Christ. Death, smote Christ, God's judgment, and brought life to the perishing people. How beautiful, don't forget it.

Power of Decision Notice, they came to Kadesh Barnea and Kadesh Barnea was, one time, the judgment seat of the world. The place had great big well, big springs. And there was many little springs out from it, a palm grove like, in the desert. What a beautiful place, a type, the great judgment seat of God in--in heaven where God's Word is a law book and there judgment at the White Throne of heaven. And every little spring represented a church where the judgments of God go forth, preaching judgment.

Sudden Secret Going Away of the Church What we need is old fashion, God sent, heaven born preachers who'll tell the truth regardless who it hurts, like John, who said, "The axe is laid to the root of the tree; and every tree that not bringeth forth good fruits is hewn down and cast into the fire." We need preachers, prophets like that who'll bombard and use the judgments of God for ammunition to tear up and--this wicked condition that we're living in. You can never rid sin by patting it on the back. You can never rid sin by educating people. Our programs has become demolished and have failed. There's only one remedy for sin. And that is, Christ is that remedy. And not Christ through intellectual confession, but through the baptism of the Holy Ghost to a new life and a regeneration. That's the only remedy for sin. Only remedy for our nation, it's the only remedy for our Church; it's the only remedy for the people.

Now, we know that the Prophet comes with the Word of the Lord. But we should also know by now that He also brings the judgment rod of God in his has as well. Even in the Book of Revelations, we find that God sends forth seven angels which are messengers with 7 messages. Each has in his had a trumpet, which is to sound and declare a message, a Gospel trumpet sounding to declare a Message.

The First Seal 63-0318 Here's the plan of it: The first thing happens, there is an announcement in the heavens first. What happened? A Seal is opened. What is that? A mystery is unfolded. See? And when a mystery unfolds, then a trumpet sounds. It declares a war. Or a plague falls, and a church age opened. See? What is the war part? The angel of the Church catches the mystery of God, not fully yet revealed, but when he does, he catches this mystery of God, and then he goes forth to the people (after the mystery has been given to him), goes forth to the people. What does he do out there? He begins to proclaim that message, and what does it start? A war, a spiritual war. 126-5 {65} 034 And then God takes His messenger with the elect of that age, and lays them away asleep, and then He drops a plague upon them who rejected it: a temporary judgment. And then, after that is over, then he goes on, and they denominate, and bring in denominations, and start off with that man's work like of Wesley and all the rest of them, and then it gets all in a scrapple again; and then another mystery comes forth. Then what happens? Another messenger arrives on earth for a church age. See? Then when he arrives, the trumpet sounds. He declares war. See? And then what happens? Finally then he's caught away. And then when he's laid away, then plague falls destroys them. Spiritual death hits the church and she's gone, that group. Then He goes on to another one. Oh, it's a great plan until it comes to that last angel. Now, he has no certain mystery, but he gathers up all that's been lost in them other ages, all the truths that wasn't truly revealed yet (See?), as the revelation come. Then he reveals those things in his day. If you want to read it, there it is: A Revelations 10:1 to--1 to about 4. You'll get it. All right. See?

Expectations But the only person that has a right to say, THUS SAITH THE LORD, is an a vindicated prophet. You never seen anybody judging Isaiah, or Jeremiah, or those people. They were prophets, foreordained and borned in the world to be prophets. And they foresaw the thing by a vision, and then said, "THUS SAITH THE LORD," for the Lord had already said it.

Impersonation of Christianity 57-0120M 020 And now, a gift of knowledge in the Bible is prophecy which goes up and finds out these things that are to come and brings them back down, but they must compare with the Bible, with the Book. If they're out of the Book, then they're not received, because the Judge judges by the Book. You see it? So it must be on the Word. Then the Word that God has spoken before the foundation of the world, it isn't that God speaks and says something to the prophet at that time, it is that the prophet catches what God has already said. For the Word was before the foundation of the world. God spoke the Word, and It's laying way out, stretched out in time. And the prophet goes up and sees the time coming. So it's only a gift of knowledge that he brings down and puts it on the paper.

Door to the heart 58-0302 042 Listen America. I say this, not to individuals, but to America in full: Your hour of judgment is near at hand. You're just as sure this nation will be judged by God. If it isn't so, I'm a false prophet and a liar at the pulpit. Just watch for it; it's coming! Mark it in your books. You say, "Brother Branham said so, in the Name of the Lord." And you're going to see that it's going to be just that way, because God's Bible said so. The other day, I made this statement to you: I said, "If God doesn't judge this nation for it's sin, He's obligated to raise up Sodom and Gomorrah and apologize for sinking them." Certainly. God's obligated. He's just, and He's honest, and He's true, and His judgments are true. And God's no respect of person. And we've weighed in the balances and found wanting. (I wanted to preach on that this week, but it just--the week ain't long enough--on: "Weighed in the balance" and then, "The Handwriting on the Wall.") We're at the end time and our eyes are blind to it.

Will the Church g through the tribulation? 58-0309E Lot went down and become the mayor of the city. And he was a great man among sin. I'd rather not be so popular and be right with God. But Lot was very popular. And he set in the streets in the city gate. He was a judge of what could come in and what could not come in. And there he was, giving his life into fornication, and knowing that in his city such things went on. If that isn't a picture of today and our nation: uncensored programs, all kinds of folly, meanness, devicity... Oh, they could break it up if they wanted to, but they don't want to. And they can't do it, because God said it would be this way. If they could only open their eye and could understand...

PATMOS VISION 60-1204E 089 You believe He's a Judge? Let's read Saint John 5:22, right quick, we'll see whether He's a Judge or not. Saint John 5:22: For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment unto the Son: That right? He is the Judge, the Supreme Judge. And John shows that He wasn't in the day of His prophecy, as a prophet, neither was He plumb out into the days of His kingship, but He was in the day of the Lord as a Judge. Now, how many knows that the priest having his girdle, his string around his waistline meant he was in service? Anyone who reads the Testament, who knows the Old Testament, knows that. When a priest is girded around here, he's in service; he's a servant. But He was girded up here: a Judge. 090 Let's read a little farther .... a golden girdle was about the paps. That's right, up around here, He was the Judge.

The Token 63-0901M 26-5 086 Notice God's preparation for that time. Now, as we know that the Bible said, all those things happened for an examples to us... Notice, when God got ready to judge Egypt, first He made a preparation. What did He do at the first time? (He never changes His order.) The first time, when when He made His preparation, He sent a prophet with a message. First thing He done to His people was send a prophet with a message. The next thing He done, to identify this prophet He sent a Pillar of Fire for identification, to identify it. And the third thing He sent was the Token. That's exactly right. The Token... What was the Token mean? Assurance. First, His prophet with the message. He identified Himself among the--with a--with a Pillar of Fire, with His prophet. Then He sent a Token to get under this Blood, that He'd accepted this substitute death in your place; then the Blood was a Token that He looked at you that's heard the message, believed on the Pillar of Fire, and had accepted the substitutionary that He had provided for you. And you were under the Blood of the very chemistry of the Life that went out for you. 26-9 087 My, what a perfect--what a perfect thing that is. See? You're under the Blood. Now, you're under the Spirit, under the Holy Spirit. See, you believe the message of the day. See? You believe the power, the Pillar of Fire. You believe that (See?), and you do. 27-1 088 Now, now, look, just to believe it, is not enough, not to walk around where it's at, isn't enough. See? That's to make yourself worse. "For he that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him it's sin," See? Those borderline believers... Jesus spoke of the same thing, Hebrews the 6th chapter. "For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted of the good Word of God, and the world to come, if they shall fall away, to renew themselves again to repentance; seeing that they crucify to themselves the Son of God, and count the covenant of the Blood, wherewith they were sanctified with (the chemistry there)--sanctified..." It ain't the Token. 27-3 089 The blood's not the Token now, the Life is the Token. The Life could not be there, 'cause it was an animal. The chemistry was the Token. You'd have to have literal blood applied on the door; but now, it's the Holy Spirit. We're coming to it just in a moment to prove that. See? It's the Life that is the Token. Your life is gone, and you are dead, and your life is dead. You are hid in God through Christ, and sealed in there by the Holy Spirit. The mind that was in Christ is in you, and Christ, and the Bible, and the Word is the same. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Then you, and the Word, and God, and Christ are the same. "And if ye abide in Me and My word, you ask what you will, and it'll be done." See?

Deuteronomy 18:15 ¶ The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;

Now, this is not just some sort of take it or leave it proposition that God is speaking of here. God tells them through Moses that there is coming a Prophet like Moses that the people had better take notice of and pay close attention to what He has to tell them. He says that you had better hearken to this prophet and this word hearken is the Hebrew word, shama' and means 1) to hear, listen to, obey and give heed.

Now, what do we infer when we say that you need to pay heed to something. What does the word heed mean anyway? It means to pay close attention, careful attention to, and it has a reward associated with it. Can anyone tell me what reward is associated with tasking heed? The answer is your protection.

Now why do you suppose the lord said that the people had better take heed to what this prophet speaks to them? We find the answer in verse 18.

In verse 18 we read, “I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and [I] will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. 19 And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require [it] of him.

In other words, When I send this prophet, he is coming to cause the people to have make a choice. They will be put to the test, and they will have to make a decision. In other words, they are going to have to judge whether they want to or not. And with what judgment they make, they will either be saved or destroyed.

Jesus said, Matthew 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Deuteronomy speaks of the True prophet who comes to tell you what God wants you to know. This is the man you are to listen to. And what he comes to tell you is not what is already done, and already known, but what is being now forth told. Not what is foretold, but what is forth told, that is the key. What is forth told is already done, but what is happening now, is what is being told forth or forth-told.

In Hebrews 12 we see that God is in His Prophets. The Prophet then is God to the people. When a prophet comes in the name of the Lord it is because He has something to tell you from God. Either you receive what he tells you or you don’t. There are rewards for receiving, and there are rewards for rejecting. Now, no man can receive it lest it be from God for him to do so. God never muddies his water. He does not reveal His Word to unbelievers, or even make believers. His Message is for the believer, and His Message is safety, and protection. Therefore the prophet of God comes for the Elect. It is a Message to them, from God.

The prophet comes forth as a judge and the people judge it true or false, and they will be held accountable for their judgment.

In 2 Cor 3:1Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? Paul asks us to discern, “Where does he come from?” “Who sent me?” And if God sent me, then what need of support do I need from a bunch of people? Paul eye-balled the people here and told them right out. And brother Branham did the same thing when he challenged those ministers up in Chicago. Later he said to brother Vayle, “Lee, the first man to come up and challenge me, would have been carried out feet first.”

Paul then said, his sufficiency comes from God. And he went on to say, if they stumbled and fell when the law was given, what about when the full Word is brought into view and declared openly.

Vindication is what we are speaking about. And vindication is actually God manifesting Himself in a measure which can be apprehended and understood. Jesus said, “They have both seen Me and My Father, therefore their sin remaineth.”

In verse 10-12 Paul tells us that we must forget the past, forget that which does not excel, and focus on what excels. When God has moved on, forget that which was left behind, and move on with the Word. In 1 Cor 13 he said, there was a time when we spoke as a child because we thought as a child, but when we come to full maturity, we put away from us the things we did and spoke as children. It’s not that those things were wrong when we did them, but they are wrong for us now. Talking like a young child is cute for a young child, but not for a grown person, or even a young adult.

Verses 13-18, therefore we don’t look back. Moses was a good man, and He was sent by God for the day he lived, but his message will never work again. It’s a one time shot and it’s over. Miss it in the day it’s given and you’ve missed it altogether. This is not Moses day, but the Lord’s Day, and we should be focused on that. Paul turned down the peoples commendation, he did not need it to know where he stood with God. Because God stood with him. Backed him up. Vindicated him to be the man who had it right. Who understood what God had done in that hour.

2 Cor 12:1-18, 1  It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. 2  I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. 3  And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) 4  How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. 5  Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities. 6  For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me. 7  And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 8  For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. 9  And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10  Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. 11  I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing. 12  Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds. (He was a vindicated man and yet he could not commend himself to them.) 13  For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong. 14  Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. 15  And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved. 16  But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile. 17  Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you? 18  I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?

Align 2 Cor 11 and Matt 7 and Deut 18, and we see how God works. He did not need the commendation or approval of the people because he knew where he stood and who stood with him. He had God with Him vindicating him to the people.

Romans 9 14-17, Moses was vindicated before pharaoh, and yet we know by what Paul tells us here, that God raised up pharaoh to bring about a show-down. Pharaoh said hogwash to God and His Words. 18-19, Pharaoh only played out the part he was ordained to play out. 20-23, God has had a Word for the elect, and yet when the lost hear it they turn it down. Why? Because it wasn’t meant for them. Paul says, what right have you to judge God? He’s sovereign, and no one tells Him what to do and how to do it.

When you stand with this word and find yourself going to the word for all your answers, then you are found standing with God, for He is the Word. You’re testimony proves that you approve.

God said to Cain, “Why are you so wroth? Why are you so mad at me? ‘you have rightly offered, but you have not rightly divided. And Cain said, I can’t hear it, I won’t take it. You have no right, I don’t like what you are doing.

Jesus said, “If I had not done these works you would have no sin, but because you have seen therefore your sin remaineth. For I came not of my own but the Father which sent me, He it is which you both hear and reject. These people then who do not approve of Moses, Paul and William Branham show that they don’t approve of God.

Paul placed himself upon Deut 18 and so did the other Apostles. Men can not approve or disapprove except on the grounds that we are seed and see God Himself in manifestation of Deut 18.

Romans 8:28-39 esp. 38-39 I am persuaded that nothing can separate me…When People went to brother Branham to tell him what others were saying about his family, he said, “forget it, God must have known that I needed that or He would not have allowed it to happen.” For all things are to work together for our Good, and if it wasn’t for my good it would not have happened.

John 14:11 Jesus said, believe me for the works sake, believe me for the vindication sake. Then why can’t they look at it and believe it? Jesus said, Moses spoke of me! Where? Deut 18!

Hebrews 4:12 “when you see God descend from the heavens, stand before groups of men, and declare Himself as ever He did, that is God in His Prophet.

1Cor 13:8-9 When the perfect is come the part is to be done away with. Then why do the people go back to the part.

1 John 3: 1-2 You have got to see Him as He is, not as He was. That is how you get your change.

1 Cor “what came the word out from you, or did it come to you only!

All we can do is what Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice and follow, no other will they follow.”
