Spoken
Word no 45
“All Scripture must be Fulfilled”
Brian Kocourek
Now, this evening I would like to continue in our
study of brother Branham’s sermon The Spoken Word is the Original Seed, and in
paragraph 35 we
will begin our reading. “Jesus said the
Scriptures must be fulfilled. That is, that all that's written in the Scriptures... Now bear this in mind,
'cause you who are getting the tape now; at the end of these tapes you'll find
I come back to that again, that all
that's in the Scriptures must be fulfilled. Now, let that soak just a minute, class. See? All that's in the Scriptures has got to be fulfilled. Then if God said anything, there you are; It's got to be fulfilled. Or if it
isn't, that's not the Word of God. Then if that isn't the Word of God, then
where are we at? Let's get something that looks like God or anything we want to
do: as the Bible said, "Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die."
See?
Now, notice that He said, “all that God spoke must be fulfilled”.
Not all that you speak or all that I speak, or all that anyone else speaks, but
this vindicated prophet says, “all that God speaks must be fulfilled”.
Now, we know that this is true, so let’s just examine
what things have yet to be fulfilled in this hour.
For starters we must look at the chronology of this
age. So in order to know what must take place in this age let’s turn to the
Word of God.
1
Thessalonians 4:13 But
I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are
asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For
if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in
Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say
unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not
prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a
shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead
in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are
alive and remain shall be caught up together with
them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with
the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with
these words.
Now, we could examine these 5 verses and run them into
a mini series, and we might just do that. But for starters, let’s look at the
main theme here. The Lord shall descend and when He descends three things
happen, (1) a Shout, (2) a Voice, (3) a Trumpet.
So we are looking at the Parousia Ministry of the
Pillar of Fire God’s own pr4esence doing three things. And we could take a mini
series on that too, but we haven’t the time right now.
So we must look at these three things that Paul says
will occur. First of all we have the shout. Now, what is this Shout. The Greek
Word is Kalusma and it means The Lord comes down with a military command. “Stay in Line.”
Now, this Shout is the Message. That’s what Brother
Branham taught us in his Rapture sermon, the Rapture. The Shout is the Message.
That is what he said.
Rapture the 65-1204 P:75 A
"shout," what is a "shout"? It's the Message going forth
first, the living Bread of Life bringing forth the Bride. Now, God has a way of
doing things, and He never changes His policy. He never changes His... He's the
unchanging God. In Amos 3:7 He said He would do nothing on the earth until
first He revealed it to His servants the prophets. And just as certain as He
promised it, He'll do it.
Ok, so we see that the
Shout is the Message and it must come through a prophet vindicated by God. And
then we must know what that message is supposed to do, because God does not
just give us a message for the fun of it.
Rapture the 65-1204 P:93 Therefore,
the Message calls the Bride together.
Rapture the 65-1204 P:82 He
ordained these things to be, and He must send this. The first thing come when
He starts descending from the heaven, there's a shout. What is it? It's a
Message to get the people together. A Message comes forth first. Now,
"Lamp trimming time. Rise and trim your lamps." What watch was that?
The seventh, not the sixth, the seventh. "Behold the Bridegroom cometh.
Rise and trim your lamps." And they did. Some of them found they didn't
even have any oil in their lamp. See? But it's lamp trimming time. It's Malachi
4 time when you come... It's Luke 17. It's Isaiah... All those prophecies that
it can perfectly set in order for this day in the Scriptures, we see it living
right there. There's no...?...
Uniting time and sign 63-0818 P:61 the
church has to unite itself out yonder for, in the nations out there for the
World Council of Churches; and the Bride has to unite Itself under the Word of
God. In order to do that, God has sent down the heavenly sign and things, that
prove to the Church, that hour is...?... Amen.
Ok, so we see that
this Shout is to assemble the people together. Now that has not happened yet.
There is too much division in this Message to say she is assembled together
yet. But it must be fulfilled. Because, God has spoken it by the lips of His
prophets.
Rapture the 65-1204 P:89 See,
the first things comes forth is His Message calling the Bride together. ….We're
right there ready now. The only
thing, the church coming out has got to lay before the sun to ripen. The great
combine will come by after while. The wheat will be burned, the stalks, but the
grain will be gathered into it's garner. See?
Notice he says they are ready right there almost ready now, but first she
must lay in the presence to ripen. So here’s our clue. We must lay in this Word
in the Presence to ripen. So the bride must lay in this Word, this Shout to
ripen.
Now, we know that He is here. And we know in the Message “Influence” and
the “Third Exodus” brother Branham said that God in the form of the Pillar of Fire
is here leading us to the Millennium.
Influence 63-1114 P:83 And
if this what we see and know, thousands around the world knows It, science has
testified to It everywhere; the pictures is taken. It's right here now. That is
true, so true. It's right here now. And if It don't bear the same kind of life
It did when It was in the Person
Christ Jesus, if It doesn't do the same thing in His Church, then it's wrong. But if It bears the same life, it's got to be the same Pillar of Fire
that led
Third Exodus 63-0630M P:126 Now,
I want you to notice, this same Pillar
of Fire is leading, the people again to a promised land, the millennium,
where we found under the inspiration of this Sixth Seal, that's never been
taught before, how the earth has to be purified for the millennium. The Pillar Fire is leading them to a
millennium. And notice, the Pillar of Fire that led
But today we have ministers hanging around the message but not really a
part of it. And just like Dathan and Korah they rise up to make themselves on the
same level with the Prophet of this Age.
What a joke. And where’s there vindication. O they say they had a
dream…. Yes and God said they would have a dream and He would test you by their
dreams to see if you are going to chase off after their dreams or stay with His
Word. That’s Deuteronomy 13 brother Parnell. But I don’t have time to get into
that for now. Paul said if they say
anything other than what has already been said they are cursed with a curse. So
chase off after your dreams if you dare, but as for me and my house we shall
stay with “Thus
Saith the Lord”.
Now, from the Third Exodus
63-0630M P:130 brother Branham said, Where did that Pillar of Fire
lead them? Now, remember, Moses was not the Pillar of Fire. He was the anointed
leader under that Pillar of Fire, and the Pillar of Fire only vindicated his
message with signs and wonders. And that Pillar of Fire led them to the land
that God promised them, where He, Himself, would be made flesh among them
someday. Is that right? What did they do? Murmured and squirmed and everything
else to show it was under the blood of an ordinary lamb. But this time (Glory to God.) the Pillar that
we see among us, the Pillar of Fire will lead us to the millennium, where
He will return to His people in that great millennium reign after this exodus,
where we'll live eternally with Him. He always has the Word of the Father,
always proves that It's right.
So we see that this descent of the pillar of fire is the presence of God
among the people, and He comes with a Shout, which is a Message. And within the
three things he does while here, we can break them down even further.
1) He is here to
gather His Elect & claim His Inheritance. That is what we read in the
quote from Brother Branham. He is here to gather the elect together. And we can
see that in the following scriptures. Matthew 3: 11 - 12, 13: 28 -31, 41, 24:31 Mark 13:27, Luke 3:17,
Ephesians 1:10, 2 Thess 2:1
2) He is
here to make ready a prepared people. Luke 1:17 Ephesian 1: 3 - 6, 17 - 21, 1 John
3: 1 - 3, 2 Cor 3: 18,
3) He is
here to save the Elect from deception. Matt 24: 3 - 5, 11, 24, Mark 13: 5-6, Eph 1:
17-18, & 4: 14, 2 Thes: 1: 7 - 12, & 2: 2-3, 10 - 12, 2 John 8 - 10, 1
John 2: 19 - 20, 28, Luke 21: 8, 2 Tim 3: 13, Rev 13: 4 - 10, 14 - 16, 19: 20,
Matt 13: 1- 17 Mark 4: 11 - 12, Luke 8:10, 1 Tim 4: 1 - 2, 2 Tim 3: 1 - 9, 4:
3-4 & 8
4) He is here to save the righteous from perishing. 2 Thess: 1 & 2 ,
13 1 Peter 1: 5,9,10 end time Revelation bringing salvation. 2 Peter 2: 12 - 13
while they feast with you. 3: 9, 1 Thes 5:9, 2 Thes 2: 13Titus 2: 11, Hebrews 2:
1 - 4, Hebrews 9: 28
5) He is here
to seal in the wise Virgins. Matt 25: 1-13, Ephesians 1: 13 - 18, & 4: 30, 1 Peter 1:
3 - 7 She is ordained to
pass the end time Faith test (Faith is a Revelation, there's Only one Faith,
Revelation, The Revelation of Jesus Christ, These ordained to pass the test but
those who fall away from THE Faith, THE Revelation of Jesus Christ are
Reprobate concerning THE Faith, The Revelation.
6) He’s here
to separate chaff from wheat. Matt: 3:11-12, 7: 15-23, 13: 24-30, 36-43, 47-49, 25:1-11, 2 Thes 1: 7
- 12 , 2: 3, 10 - 12, 1 Tim 4: 1, Hebrews 6, 1 John 2: 19 - 21, 28, 2 groups,
Luke 17: 26 - 37, 2 Cor 4: 3-6, 11: 1-4, Gal 1: 6, 2 Tim 3: 1 - 9, 4: 3-4, 8
7) He’s here
to raise dead. 1 Thes 4: 15 - 18, 1 Cor 15: all Ephesians 1: 17 - 23, Gal 2:
1, Acts 1: 9-11, Matt 27: 51-53, Col 3: 4, Deut 30:3, Luke 20: 36
children of resurrection, John 11: 24-25, Acts 24: 15, 21, Rom 6: 5, Phil 3: 10-11, 2
Tim 2: 18, Rev 20: 5
8) He is
here to change the living. [1 Thes 4:15-18, I Cor 15: all, 2 John 3: 1 - 3, 2 Cor 3: 18, Roman 12:
1-2, Col 3: 4, 1 Cor 13: 9 - 12, 2 Thes 1: 7, 10-12, Acts 3: 19-21, 1 Peter 1:
7 -9, 13, 2 Peter 1: 1-4, 10-12, 1 Cor 1: 4 - 10, Matt 24: 30 ]
9) He’s here to put us in a rapture. 1 Thes 4: 15-18 A
transformation and change.
10) He is here to Glorify His saints. And this Word Glorify comes from the Greek
word Doxa which means the opinion, Values and judgment of God. So he is here to
place his mind in his Elect. 2 Thes 1: 7, 10-12, 2: 14, 2 Cor 3: 9-10,
18, 4:6, 1 John 3: 1-3, 1 Cor 1: 4-10, 13: 9-12, Rom 12: 1-2, Matt 16: 27,

8: 18, 9:4,23, 1 Cor 2: 7, 15:43, Eph 1: 14, 17-18, Phil 4: 19, 1 Peter 1: 7, 8,11,21,
4: 13-14, 5: 1, 4, 10, 5: 10-11, Col 1: 27 why should there be this
hope of Glory? 3:
4, 1 Thes 2: 12, 1 Tim 3: 16, Heb 1: 3, 2: 7,9,10, Jude 1: 24
11) He is
here As Judge to Judge the Living and the dead. (Investigating Judgment as a
Judge!) [ Rev 3: 14-21, James 5: 7-9, John 12: 48, Matt
3: 12, 7: 15-23, 13: 24-30, 36-43, 47-49, 25: 1-11, 2: Thes 1: 7-10]
Now, brother Branham said he does three things in his
descent. So we see that under the shout we have all these events to take place
and many of them are already in the process of being completed.
Now, then what’s next… Well, at the end of the Shout
we are to have a Squeeze. The judgments are already in the earth, so they have
already begun. Brother Branham picked up the stone and threw it into the air
and said the judgments are now in the earth. But though they are already in the
earth they have not fully manifested themselves in their entirety.
Audio letter to Lee Vayle 64-0500 P:30 This
earthquake here when the... I'm saying something now I oughtn't to be saying.
But like up there on the mountain the other day when we was up there. And that
rock, when the air come down and started the whirlwind, little did they know
that went straight on that way, going north and went right there and struck.
That's what caused that place, that to happen in
Who do you say this is? 64-1227 P:78 Stand
there and see a whirlwind come out of the sky. It blew a mountain half in two,
standing there where we was at; cut the top of trees off and things like that.
And a blast of Word come out and shook there three times, said, "Watch it
go to the west coast." Went right over there and shook down
So you see the importance of having the right
understanding of the Word. And that is what the doctrine of Christ is all
about. And the evidence that you are born again is that you will understand the
Doctrine, and therefore like the wise virgins yo9u will be ready to receive Him
when he is present. Not like the foolish virgins who were not ready, the Elect
will be ready.
Now, what then is next? Well, we have got to be
gathered together first, and I believe that the parable of the NET showed us that
when that Net was thrown out into all the world it was to gather together the
elect from the four corners of the world to the Doctrine of Christ, for Christ
is the doctrine. And what NET can do that but one NET that can reach into all
the world and that is the Inter-NET. Hallelujah.
Then what? Then the Squeeze will come, and it is
already beginning. Deuteronomy 28 blessing and cursing. And the world is now
under a curse for turning down Christ the Word.
Deuteronomy 28:15 But
it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy
God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command
thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake
thee: 16 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt
thou be in the field. 17 Cursed
shall be thy basket and thy store. 18 Cursed
shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of
thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. 19 Cursed
shalt thou be when
thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
27 The
LORD will smite thee with the botch of
OTHER
NATIONS SHALL ARISE ABOVE THEE 43 The stranger that is within thee shall
get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.
32 Thy
sons and thy daughters shall be given unto
another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with
longing for them all the day long: and there
shall be no might in thine hand.33 The
fruit of thy land, and all thy labors, shall
a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only
oppressed and crushed alway:
FAMINE 38 Thou
shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall
consume it.39 Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of
the wine, nor gather the grapes;
for the worms shall eat them. 41 Thou shalt beget sons and
daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into
captivity. 42 All thy trees and fruit of thy land
shall the locust consume.
ECONOMIC PERIL 44 He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend
to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.
ENEMIES
WITHIN THE GATE 45 Moreover
all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake
thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of
the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which
he commanded thee:46 And they shall be upon thee for a sign and
for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.47 Because
thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness,
and with gladness of heart, for the
abundance of all things; 48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD
shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in
want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of
iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee. 49 The
LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand; 50 A nation of fierce countenance, which
shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the
young: 51 And he shall
eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed:
which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or
the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have
destroyed thee.52 And he
shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come
down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land,
which the LORD thy God hath given thee.53 And thou
shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy
daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the
straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee: 54 So that the man that is
tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother,
and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave:55 So that he will not give to any of
them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing
left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.56 The tender and delicate
woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the
ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the
husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her
daughter,57 And toward her young one that cometh out from
between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall
eat them for want of all things secretly in the
siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee
in thy gates. 58 If thou
wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book,
that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD
THY GOD;
PLAGUES 59 Then
the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore
sicknesses, and of long continuance. 60 Moreover
he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.61 Also every
sickness, and every plague, which is not written
in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee,
until thou be destroyed.
THY LIFE
SHALL HANG IN DOUBT 66 And
thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none
assurance of thy life: 67 In
the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say,
Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt
fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
Now, that’s a squeeze, and it begins with economics and
then turns to religious persecution shutting down the churches. We all know
brother Branham predicted a squeeze upon the church. And the word squeeze
suggests To press hard on or together; compress, To exert pressure on, To
oppress with burdensome demands., To force, To exert pressure. 3. To force one's way, ,.Financial
pressure caused by shortages or narrowing economic margins…So we see
there is to be some pressures come upon the church. Whether that be through
financial hardship or political pressure, only time will tell.
Seed of
discrepancy 65-0118 P:36 Notice
that they're now being gathered together for the burning. Did you notice, Jesus
said, "First, gather them together,
bundle them, and then put all the bundles in one pile, and I'll burn them."
There's a little bundle called Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Lutheran,
they're all gathering together in the World Council of Churches. What is it?
"Gather them first."
Hallelujah. Did you notice, He gathers
the tares first, gets them away from the wheat, separates them, "Gather
them together and burn them." They're all to be burned with the
judgments of God, for sowing discrepancy among the people, things that they...
Having a form of godliness and denying the power thereof, denying the Word, just to hold up some religious rights of some
dogma that somebody's injected in, trying to put in the Word of God. It won't
work. It's a discrepancy.

Jews united themselves against Jesus, as their Messiah. Therefore, we see what
happened. We see the same thing now: Communism uniting to destroy the church,
after the church has united in the World
Council of Churches and trying to destroy the Message, the Word of God.
They tried to get rid of It. The only thing they can do is draw themselves a
council, because that they are separated; a little group here, the Methodists,
and Baptists, and Lutherans, and Presbyterians, Church of Christ, and so forth
like that. They can't do nothing, 'cause this one will be against this one, this
one be against the other one; their doctrine is just as much difference as the
east is from the west. See, they can't do it. But once together under one big
head, they got it. They got it then.

will follow this union of churches. All denominations will be forced into
it: all of them. If they don't, there'll be a horrible boycott. Nearly every
one of them today has not knowingly joined that World Council of Churches,
selling their birthrights: Protestant brethren with the mother Catholic of
What
shall I do with Jesus 63-1124M P:57 Now,
He's tried today, or just has been tried, and on trial for a world system to be
formed of what's called The Council of churches, to form in the World Council
of Church. Now, and what have they done? They have voted that they will
absolutely unite themselves together and have a council of churches. And in
this council of churches... That all churches must belong to this council, or
if they don't, you're not even allowed
to preach. You're not even allowed
to have a prayer for the sick. And your
church could be used for anything they want to use it for. If they want to
store boxes in it, or ammunition, or whatever they want to do, you have no
control of it at all. You either belong to The Council of Churches or you don't
belong at all. And that's the system, that's being formed here in the
Jesus came and called 64-0213 P:59 Now,
I'm going to say something here. I... It's not a doctrine; I'm just
prophesying. You know what's happened? It's going to come to a place soon, mark
my word, that all denominations are going to have to join the ecumenical
council. If they don't, they can't have the support of the council. Therefore, there'll be a boycott that
nobody can go to these churches or go to any churches. Unless you have a
mark from your own church you cannot buy
or sell. You see it. Just as it was, so is it going to be again, a mark
unto the beast. And the church shall realize, and that's spiritual people. And
you Pentecostal people anyhow, are recognizing it. You begin to feel it. When
your churches... Many of your organizations of the Pentecost, and I don't have
to call your name, but you know right now they're coming into it. They've done
witnessed that they were. And when you do that, what are you going to have to
be? You're going to have to forfeit your evangelical teaching of the baptism of
the Holy Ghost. You going to have to forfeit your doctrine of the Bible. And
the members is not going to stand for it. Real
born again Christians will die first. They're warned by the Word. They know
this thing's coming. Yes, sir.
Oneness 62-0211 P:105 This
thing of this Council of Churches is nothing else in the world but a stir of the foolish virgin, to be left
here on the earth for a picking for the antichrist. But the real
Choosing of a bride 65-0429E P:62 The
true church of Christ, the Bride, is so sold out to Him and His promised Word, till the very mind that's in Christ is in
you. … But you young people remember that you heard a minister say that,
that it'll finally wind up that that is the mark of the Beast. When she forms
that World Council of Churches, and she'll give birth to her son the
antichrist.
Jehovah Jireh 3 64-0404 P:10 They
heard another earthquake taking place down there, and they said... Shaking the
countries again... And I thought, "What is this? You know, it was done on
Good Friday. You know, nineteen hundred years ago on Good Friday, the church
rejected Jesus Christ, and a earthquake shook the world all over. And they've
rejected Him again in the Laodicean age as the Bible said they would do: had
Him on the outside. This ecumenical move of the Council of Churches is exactly
what they're doing. They're forfeiting
all their evangelical teachings and things. How can two walk together
unless they be agreed? Well, you can't do it. That won't work with real genuine Christians. They'll never receive
it. No, sir. A born again Christian will never go in a trap like that. It's
just like putting a duck in a cage. They know he's headed for the slaughter.
You'll never drive him into that. So a real born again Christian will stay away
from that.
Notice he said the
council of churches is driving them to flee their teaching, and if the council
of Message churches isn’t doing the same thing, because they won’t have nothing
to do with the doctrine William Branham taught yet they claim to believe he is
God’s prophet.
Seed of discrepancy 65-0118 P:37 He
said, "When God speaks, who can but prophecy." He predicted judgment
upon that generation and said, "The very God that you claim to serve will

Council of Churches... And you're going to have to go into it. You can't stay
out of it. You're either going to be individually get out of it, or you're
going into it. There ain't going to be no middle ground. It'll be the mark of the beast. No man could buy or sell, except he that has the mark, or has got
the discrepancy. Now, stay out of it. Get out of it. Flee it. Stay away from
it. The God that they claim they're serving will destroy them.
Church order COD 63-1226 P:6 And
remember, God is looking to me to see that I stay in the Word. And I'm looking to you to see that you carry
out the Word (See, see?) in this church. And keep it spiritual, for
remember, all the forces of the dark kingdom of Satan will be turned against
you as you begin to grow in the Lord.
And you must be soldiers, not just fresh recruits. You're aged soldiers now,
and been trained to fight. And Satan will come among you, cause you to dispute
with one another if he can. Turn him down just immediately; you're brethren;
and it's the enemy. And we're here to hold a standard in this evening Light
time, that when the world is darkened and the whole church kingdom is going
into the Council of Churches... And pretty
soon they'll try to tack a sign on this door here, "Closed!" And then we're going to have to meet other
places, 'cause they'll certainly close these churches one of these days if
we don't take the mark of the beast. And we're depending on staying true to God
till death sets us free, and that's what we intend to do.
Look away to Jesus 63-1229E P:16 So
now, I am going to say something to you now, that I haven't said all along. And
that is, the thing that we have looked forward to for so long, or at least many
years, four or five years or maybe longer, the
third pull has now been vindicated, and I'm sure you all know what it is. Now,
remember, there'll never be any impersonation of that, 'cause it can't be. It
cannot be. Now, it's in existence, and I have--I am warned of this, that soon,
right at this time now, it's just happened, so it could identify its presence
among you. See? But it will not be used in a great way, until this council
begins to tighten up. And when it does, when that does... The Pentecostals and so forth can almost impersonate anything could be
done, but when that time comes, when the squeeze comes down, then you'll see
what you have seen temporarily, be manifested in the fullness of its power.
See...?... see?
End time evangelism 62-0603 P:112 Peter
had a sword. He pulled that sword was going to cut the high priest's ears off,
and things like that; he did it. But when it come to real Christian courage, he
didn't have it. He backed up and denied Him. Is that right? He could cut the
high priest's ear off with his sword, sure, he knew how to handle it. But when it come to the squeeze and time to
stand on the Word of God, he didn't have the courage, and even denied he knew
Jesus. That's where it is today.
We got courage to build buildings and put millions of dollars in them. We got
courage to put pipe organs, and plush seats, and everything, and go out and
proselyte from place to place, and make the Methodists come Baptists, and so
forth, back and forth like that. But when
it comes to Christian courage to accept the Word and the message of God, and
stand there on it, we are few. So what good's your stones without a stone
mason again? That right?

time when the SHOUT blends into the VOICE which is the time of the resurrection
and we will talk about that Sunday morning.
