INTRODUCTIONThis work entitled “Self And Satanic Delusions: Pride, Ambition & Demon Possession – Bethel & G.C.C. Experiences”, consists of a selection of important experiences from many tape recorded sermons of the author. Such experiences and church historical facts date back to the early seventies and they include events of recent years to the present time, 2009.The author chooses to focus upon delusions and their causes, especially since the opening of the seals. The contents of this book prove that at the loosing of the seals, Michael and His angels are here on earth to bring deliverance to the Bride. Because of that great event, Satan and his host of fallen angels were also loosed to combat the revelation of the seals, in a final effort to prevent full redemption-the first resurrection and the rapture.Bethel “The House Of God” and Grace Covenant Church (G.C.C.) of Connecticut, New England, U.S.A. have experienced great activities of demonic battles, arising from false christs and false prophets. Their great efforts to defend the Word, the message and the revelation of the opening of the seals have taught them great lessons which made ministers and believers wiser and better equipped to defeat other attacks of Satan of following years. We are sharing this knowledge to the Bride of Christ. Several of our experiences are documented in this work which vary from each other though similar in nature.Many vicious attacks of the enemy were unsuccessful in causing any major division amongst us for decades, credited to the fact that the Word was preached so forcefully and effectively, and the spirit of antichrist exposed in such a manner, without a shadow of a doubt, making wiser the congregation and producing able ministers of the gospel, to discern and withstand the antichrist spirit.Great lessons can be learned from such experiences of Bethel, to guide, notify and edify message believers, helping them to identify false prophets, false christs and false teachers and the evil ones of Revelation 2: 2, and also, the children of the wicked one. Their cunning craftiness of deception are thoroughly exposed and Satan’s strategies and tactics of deceiving the sincere and honest in heart who love the Lord, His Word and His message. Many have escaped the dragnet of Satan’s deception and his host of demon power, which have infiltrated the message; perverting, changing and planting into the hearts of men and women seeds of discrepancies and damnable heresies. This work is to help both ministers and congregations, making them wiser to false christs and false prophets (Matthew 24: 24) and 200 million demons loosed after the seals (Revelation 9: 16).This work further expresses the Christ-like character of ministers and faithful saints, and how they stood in times of such trials and deadly attacks of Satan. Much can be learnt from their great stand for more than four decades, how they overcame and stood against unbelief and carnal weapons of war.This work does not only show who is a false prophet and false christ, and their tactics of deception, but expresses the great fact of why such men are false prophets, false christs and false teachers. According to Jude, the servant of God, they were born unto this condemnation.Jude 1: 4 <For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. >This work revealed the carnal, unscriptural and satanic attitude and behaviour of unregenerated ministers and make-believers. Such have surpassed the treachery and deceit of Judas Iscariot by leaps and bounds, even to the blasphemy of the Holy Ghost (Hebrews 6: 4-6). Much can be learnt about church uprisings, divisions and heresies, violence and bloodshed that accompany hatred, bitterness and malice. The understandingIII
of such experiences are well able to equip the church in pending or future divisions, thus sparing the church much heartaches, pains and sorrows, and above all, establish peace, harmony and love. Amen!FOREWORDExposition of Damnable Heresies (E.O.D.H.), the publishing arm of Bethel “The House of God”, Grace Covenant Church (G.C.C.) of USA and their faithful ministers are pleased to present to the message-believers, internationally, our latest book entitled: “Self And Satanic Delusions: Pride, Ambition & Demon Possession – Bethel & G.C.C. Experiences.”Exposition of Damnable Heresies (E.O.D.H.), the publishing arm of Bethel “The House of God”, was active in exposing damnable heresies, re-establishing the holiness standards of the message of Malachi 4: 5-6 and the fundamental doctrines of the message since the year 2000. None were able, though several attempted, to defeat the mission of the Lord in exposing many heresies which were injected into the message by false anointed ones, who were loosed immediately after the opening of the seals, to produce false prophets and false christs (Matthew 24: 24).Our books and sermons were made available to approximately one hundred and fifty countries, with great success. Many souls were delivered from that time, including ministers and faithful saints. They are not ashamed to be identified with this ministry of Christ. Many have denounced heretic pastors, apostles, prophets, christs, son of man and eighth messengers by whom they were bound for many years. They now proclaim the true revelation of the message and of the prophet, William Marrion Branham.This ministry and work of the Lord is hated by such heretics. Several arose with vicious attacks, and tried to silence the voice of Christ and His servants, but they were quickly put down. Other famous men are too fearful to respond to the exposition of their false doctrines and damnable heresies, though they were openly challenged by our work and ministers. We firmly believe that such men will be further exposed in this our latest book.We trust that E.O.D.H. book Nineteen-19 will benefit many around the message, internationally, as our previous work of eighteen books, which brought deliverance to many souls in approximately one hundred and fifty countries, and trust that it will serve as a guide to many ministers and saints to examine the doctrines and the ministers who lead them, and if they are found wanting, that they might quickly change their course and return to the purity of the message of Malachi 4: 5-6 and the Bible.May the good Lord bless all our brothers and sisters, and may we qualify for the soon outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the rapture. Amen!E.O.D.H.

Delusion is the condition of being deluded; a false belief or opinion; belief in something contrary to facts or reality resulting from deception; a misconception or mental disorder.”This subject is based upon Satan’s delusions in the religious realms, though the whole world is deluded by Satan through billions of delusions in the natural realm. In the spiritual realm, religions and organizations are in the biggest delusion that the world has ever seen or experienced. Such great delusions of both realms; natural and religious, lead to the World Council of Churches (W.C.C.) and Rome. There will be a one-world government and a one-world church consisting of all peoples, nations, tongues and languages. A law of genocide will be established to kill all those who refuse to accept, support and be subject to such delusion.Revelation 13:15 <And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.>Malachi 4:5-6, Elijah the prophet, was sent of God with a message, and the seven seals were revealed by Christ the Lamb to redeem the elect from such international delusion:Revelation 13: 8 <And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.>The church embraced the message of hope and deliverance of Malachi 4:5-6, Revelation 10:7, but all have not escaped the dragnet of satanic delusions. Many went the way of Korah, Abiram and Dathan, whoX
murmured against Moses. Self, ambition and pride have resulted in such delusions and demon possession. Such men have followed the same pattern of false christs and false prophets of religions and organizations.HOW ART THE MIGHTY FALLEN?I	  preached	  a	  message	  some	  time	  ago,	  around	  1982.	  	  The	  name	  of	  the	  message	  was	  “How	  art	  the	  mighty	   fallen?”	  It	  was	  a	  question.	  It	  answered	  a	  question	  of	  how	  a	  man	  or	  a	  woman	  that	  is	  mighty	  in	  God’s	  Word	  and	   power	   can	   fall.	   This	   message	   is	   not	   only	   for	   the	   Church	   here,	   but	   it	   is	   for	   everywhere,	   as	   a	   warning	   and	   self-­‐ examination.	  I	  will	  be	  candid	  with	  you.	  What	  I	  am	  trying	  to	  get	  over	  to	  the	  congregation	  this	  evening	  is	  how	  a	   man	  or	  a	  people	  could	  get	  into	  satanic	  delusions;	  there	  must	  be	  a	  reason.	  Now, we preached much about satanic delusions, we preached much about the antichrist, we preached much about cults and isms, we preached a lot about what transpired in our midst, and we concluded by the past messages that we had an intervention here of a very wicked spirit; Satan, the devil, giving out a ministry of Satan to delude the Church. God’s Word came and exposed that and delivered your souls. Those who are still bound want to be bound. Those who want to go free will look away to Jesus, look away to the Word of God, and be delivered.This raises a question in everybody’s mind, and that is, how can a man with a wonderful personality, a loving person, a zealous person, a man that lived out a testimony, a man that found favor in the sight of this Ministry to put him in charge of a congregation, a person in whom the congregation has confidence; how can such a person get into a delusion? That is a good question. There must be a reason, and the reason must be a scriptural one. I am trying to show you from the scriptures, how such a thing happens, how it happened in times past, and whenever that happens, what is the cause of such a thing happeningIf you give your heart to the Word of God, you are going to learn a lesson, not only for yourself, but for everybody who you will come in contact with. Now, certain things happen in the House of God that everybody might learn. If these things had never happened, there may not have been a need for me to preach what I am preaching, to edify the rest of the body. However, I will remind you that when you do wrong, and the Word of God is preached, it will reflect upon your wrongdoing. Also, you cannot help but identify the person with their wrong, it is just common sense.Now, the Bible says:Ephesians 5:13 <But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.>Light, which is revelation, shines forth upon the darkness, and then when it shines it reveals what was standing in the dark. So whatsoever doth make manifest is light.If you are coming into a dark building for the first time, then you cannot see where the pulpit is, you do not know where the benches or other things are. Now, what makes manifest everything is the light. The light shines, then you look around and you say, “The pulpit is over there, the benches are over there, the organ is over there, the piano is over there, the speaker is over there, and that’s the door.” Now, whatsoever doth make manifest is light. So you just shine the light, and everything that is darkness will be exposed immediately.WHY PEOPLE GET INTO DELUSIONS – FALL AWAYNow, there is a scriptural reason why people could get into delusions of Satan. There is a scriptural reason why a person can become a false prophet and make a cult. There are reasons why people could walk with the Word of Life, preach the Word of Life, stand firm for it, and then after a long time turn around and be deluded, and walk away from it. Brother Paul correcting the Church in Galatia said:XI
Galatians 3: 1 <O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?>Now, that was a group which started to walk with all the truth. Paul was preaching the son of man, he was preaching one God, he was preaching how to be born again, he was preaching the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and those people heard and believed. Afterwards they let some man come and bewitch them. He said, “Who had bewitched you?” The Bible said, take heed that no man steal your crown. If you enter the Kingdom of God, you will have to hear the truth from a man, and if you are to be deceived, you will be deceived by a man, or you give yourself to a spirit of delusion.Before a man is born again and the seed of life planted in him, he must meet certain conditions. The condition of his heart must be right. It must be right for that seed of life to be sown. Brother Bob preached a message called “Conditioning the Heart to receive Divine Revelation.” Now, that is just common sense. If you are going to plant a seed, you must condition the soil. Then the seed is planted and brings forth after its kind.If it takes a certain condition of the heart to plant the seed of life, then if a seed of discrepancy is to be planted in a man’s heart, certain conditions must also be met. In nature, there are seeds that will only grow in certain countries because the conditions are right, and there are seeds that cannot grow in certain countries because the conditions are not right. Likewise, whereas one man will contact a certain spirit, be anointed by an evil spirit and be used of Satan, another man could be standing right there with him and not contact that spirit nor be anointed of the devil. It depends upon the heart’s condition.Thus this problem goes deeper than what we explained. I am explaining tonight why somebody would accept Satan’s ministry. I want to put that in the Word and show why. Now, I had been in this way for a long time and I have never accepted any such seed. I know men that are in the way for a long time, heard great revelations; men who heard every message that I preached for the past years. Messages that they missed, they got the tapes and listened to them. They never got into that state and condition.CONDITION OF THE HEART FOR SEED OF SATANWhat I am proving to you is that it happens to certain people, and it does not happen to others, so there must be a reason. I could bring apple seeds to this country, prepare the soil in the best way, and plant them. They may grow, but they cannot bring forth fruits. That is why we do not see any apple trees in the Caribbean here, even because the condition of the soil and the weather pattern is not right. It is just not right. Whereas if you go abroad where the condition is just right, and plant that seed, it would bear apples right in your yard.Before one falls into satanic delusion and is given a ministry of Satan, and goes about to establish it, there is a certain heart condition that is present, just as certain that before a man is born again there is a certain heart condition that he must meet. The reason that you accept the Word of God, is to tell you how to prepare your heart. Yes. That is why Jesus said;<No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.>That plough turns up the soil and gets it right. It pulls out the stones. It gets it ready for the seed. But here a man puts his hand to the plough and he is digging up the soil, and is working on that soil to get the seed planted, and then he looks back to the world.The reason he was looking back is that he had something else in mind. If you are to be born again then the condition of the heart must be right. That’s a separate message in itself. The condition of the heart must be right. And there might be some little things in your life that you must remove by God’s grace. But you must want to remove them, you must want to give them up, you must be surrendered in order for the Lord to plant that seed in your heart. Now, that is why you listen to the tapes, that is why you read the Bible, that is why you sit under the Word of God. Hearing the Word of God will help you to understand what is that thing that you must remove. It might be a lazy attitude, which Brother Branham came against. He spoke of desperation.XII
Quote W.M.B.: 99 Oh, church, rise and shake yourself. Pinch your conscience; wake yourself up in this hour. We must be desperate or perish. There's coming forth something from the Lord. I know it as THUS SAITH THE LORD. There's coming forth something, and we better get desperate. It's between life and death. It'll pass through us and we won't see it. (Desperation 63-0901E).Our subject is not based upon preparing the heart for the seed of life. Our message this evening is of a deeper sense, explaining how a man who is in good standing and whom people look up to, could receive a ministry of Satan and a seed of discrepancy and bring it to the House of God. Don’t you think that is very interesting? [Congregation says, “Amen!”] Very interesting. The answer is very simple, and is summed up in one thing. Hear what Jesus said:Mark 8:34 <...Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and followme.>Do you think Jesus just said that or He played with words? Our Lord never played with words. My beloved, in order for a man to receive Eternal Life and to even be a disciple or be called a follower of the Lord Jesus, Jesus set down that condition. He said, “...Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself,and take up his cross, and follow me.”SEEK NOTHING - EVERYBODY WANTS TO BECOME SOME GREAT PERSONQuote: 47 "Brother Branham... we just received the Holy Ghost, shall we now seek for gifts for our ministry?" I said, "Don't do it. Let it alone."... "Don't seek nothing. God's got anything for you He'll give it to you." See? "And just let Him take care of that." I said, "Then you get some of these times like we...have today that everybody's wanting to do this and do that and become some great person. Look what we got into with it...Instead of trying to be great, we ought to be trying to find out how little we can get. See? Then God can use us. (Perfect Strength By Perfect Weakness 61-1119).HUMAN ABILITY- LAY IT ASIDEQuote: 53	So as long as we're trying in ourselves and depending on our own abilities, and so forth, why, we'll do nothing. But when we get to a place where we know we're nothing, then God can use us... Now, remember this, and especially you young preachers, and lay members alike. There's one thing that we've got to master if we expect to fulfill God's desire in our life; that is, we have to master the thought of human ability. If we ever get to a spot where we think that we can do it with our own intelligence and our own abilities, we've got to master that in such a way that we can get rid of the thing and lay it aside so that God can use us. That's right. And make a complete surrender. We cannot use one ability. We've got to make a complete surrender. And to come to God, you've got to surrender to Him both soul, body, and spirit. Everything that you are has to be surrendered to God in order that He can work His will in you and in me. (Perfect Strength By Perfect Weakness 61-1119).NO ABILITY USABLE TO GODQuote: 59	We mustn't trust the ability of ourselves or any man. We must completely yield to God. No ability, I don't care whose it is, will never be usable in the sight of God. God has to get all of our abilities out of us before He can achieve His purpose. If He's got something for us to do, and as long as we feel that we're doing a pretty good job out of it, then we'll never be able to be used of God. (Perfect Strength By Perfect Weakness 61-1119).GET OUT OF YOURSELFQuote: 79 If you're ready to forget that you're a somebody and become a nobody, then God can use you and make a somebody out of you. See? But you've got to forget that you're so important. There's many of us; many of us do that in our lives... Some people, as soon as they become Christians, they become arrogant,XIII
indifferent (That's right.) when they're just taking a vice versa the path. They're going backwards instead of forward... More you can get out of yourself, more room you've got for the Holy Spirit to come in. Like Elijah told Jehoshaphat and them, said, "Dig this place full of ditches. Deeper you dig, the more room you're going to have for water." And the more of our own selves, of the own rubbish of our own abilities that we can throw out of us, the more room there'll be to be filled by the Spirit of God. (Perfect Strength By Perfect Weakness 61- 1119).BECOME NOTHING NOT A KNOW IT ALLQuote: 92	I hope...that gets down deep to us, both here and the tape world too, that you realize that you've got to become nothing: not a know-it-all, not a great somebody, but a nobody. You got to come dust. You've got to get to a place that you know that you're nothing. And don't never rise above it, for as soon as you rise above it, you rise above God. You've got to keep yourself in the dust and on the road to Damascus. You've got to keep yourself off your high horses. And that's for everywhere, here and in the tape world. (Perfect Strength By Perfect Weakness 61-1119).GREATEST ENEMY W.M.B. - KEEPS GOD OUTQuote: And when I get everything out of me, then God can come in. But as long as I got some of myself there, then God can't get in."There, that's it; we smother Him out. We drive Him away with our... From the poorest of us to the richest of us, from the least to the greatest, we keep God out of our lives because of our ownselves. I've often said, "The greatest enemy I got is William Branham." He's the one that gets in God's way. He's the one that gets lazy. He's the one that gets to a place sometimes where he thinks he can do something about it, and when he does, that shoves God right out of the picture. But when I can get rid of that guy, when I can get to a place that he's out of the way, then God can come over and do things that William Branham knows nothing about. That's when God can use you...He can use anybody when we get out of the way. But as long as we got ourselves in the way, then we cannot. (Perfect Strength By Perfect Weakness 61-1119).LOSS SELF EVERY MANQuote: 104	That's what we have to do today. That's what I need. That's what every man needs, is a loss of himself, loss of his ability, loss of what he is, that he might have a complete yielding to the Holy Spirit. (Perfect Strength By Perfect Weakness 61-1119).TOO STRONG HEADED - KNOW TO MUCHQuote: 121	The case is, with us, that, not that we are too weak, the case is we're too strong. We're just too strong...we're too strong-headed. That's right. We're too strong in our head. We know too much. God wants to get that out of us. That's right. We're too strong; we're too strong to yield to Him. ...we yield to ourselves. (Perfect Strength By Perfect Weakness 61-1119).When Jesus took up his cross, He carried it to Calvary, and He was crucified upon it. My beloved, that cross is to crucify self. As Jesus was crucified on Calvary, so self must be crucified, on the cross, spiritually, in order for you to gain Eternal Life.Mark 8:35 <For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.>DIE BEFORE YOU CAN BE BORN AGAINXIV
Quote W.M.B.: 67	... And it'll never be until every person that professes to be a Christian will forget his own ability and yield hisself to God. Then God can achieve His purpose by sending, not a revival, but, brother, what He needs to do first is send a killing (That's right.) so we can revive. You have to die before you can be born again,... He needs a killing of ourselves. This Tabernacle needs a killing, and me with it. All of us, we need a killing so that we can be revived in a new life, a new hold, a new hope, a new experience. (Perfect Strength By Perfect Weakness 61-1119).SELF, PRIDE AND AMBITIONNow, the answer is very simple. I am going to scripturally prove what is involved that causes a man to get into such condition. The word is ‘self.’ Don’t disagree with me. I can prove that from Genesis to Revelation. That is why Jesus said to His disciple that you will have to “deny your self, take up your cross and follow me.” Is it important? [Congregation says, “Amen!”]Now, the answer to what I said is “self that was never crucified.” To be born again, is to deny self; just the opposite. Failing to deny self, you are an open target for the enemy. Your heart is going to be prepared to receive that seed of discrepancy. It is already prepared because you were born like that.You know we were born selfish people; fighting to have the biggest piece, the front seat of the car, the best place on the bed, and the biggest candy. We live in the same world. You know what I am talking about. Failing to deny self, the heart’s condition is ready to receive something that will exalt you. You don’t have to go about to prepare the heart, we were born with that heart’s condition to receive a spirit of self-exaltation. If we did not come to the Word, that would be our ambition. We would try to be a scientist, we would try to have a bigger television, and we would seek to have a bigger education. We would try to be better looking, and we would try to have more clothes than the next fellow. Now, nobody had to teach us those things. No, we were born like that.When someone claims to be a Christian, and you see them seeking after those natural things more than eternal life, it goes to show that they are not denying self, and if they are not denying self, they are not born again, and they would never be born again, until they deny self. They are still longing for the things of the world, more than eternal life, the Bible says:I John 2:15 <Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. >If you go out for the extravagant things of the world, let me tell you something beloved, the real middle line on that is that a Christian needs the necessities of life, but he seeks the kingdom first.There is a difference of the wants of this life, and the necessities of this life. The middle line between the ‘wants’ and the necessities of life is that a man goes down the middle of the road, and only wants enough to survive until Jesus comes. True Christian parents will also provide an inheritance for their family. That’s a good lesson for the church. Now, anybody you see grabbing for more than the necessities of life, doesn’t have Eternal Life. Not only don’t have it, but they are not seeking it with their whole heart. They are not fulfilling the scripture that says; “Mind not high things.”Matthew 6:33 <But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.>Matthew 6:32 <...for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.>Yes, the necessities of life.The point that I was emphasizing is on ‘self’. Nobody had to teach us to be selfish. No, no, we were born with that. Now, why were we born with it? Even because we were born by ‘the fall’, and we inherited a fallen nature. That fallen nature is the nature of Satan. Yes, that spirit is a worldly spirit. Now, this lesson is very, very, very, simple. If you will gain Eternal life, Jesus said, “Deny yourself.” Failing to deny self, ‘self’ would live on. Self is something that wants to be exalted, wants to be lifted up; self wants to be in the picture alone.XV
I could teach a great lesson on ‘self.’ Do you know what selfishness is? It is a terrible thing. Two pieces of meat are on that plate, and self is so selfish that you want the better piece. You may take the smaller piece because of table manners, but ‘self’ desires the bigger piece. Self is greed, lust, carnal desires. When Jesus spoke about self, He covered a vast area. Yes. Now, ‘self’ is ambition, ‘self’ is ambitious. Why do you think a man would risk his life to climb up the highest mountain, where no man had ever climbed before? Do you know that is ‘self?’ Now, He tried to climb up there to show that he is the first man to do so. He wants his name go down in history books as the first man who climbed the Himalaya Mountain.SELF ABILITY, PRIDE AND AMBITION WE WANT TO TELL HOW BIG WE AREQuote W.M.B.: 42	We want to tell how big we are, how great we are...get that out of our mind... And that's what we come to church for, is to find out where our faults is, and the things that we might better ourselves by. ... We must come to find our weaknesses, find our bad places and ...see how little we are, and put our trust in Somebody that's strong. (Perfect Strength By Perfect Weakness 61-1119).Quote: 69 we got to get away from that, that human ability. We got to get to a place where we can surrender our souls and lives, even to the housewife, to the farmer, to the mechanic, or whoever we are, we got to surrender completely to God and know that "we are nothing." Then let God start from there. Then He starts moving, working. (Perfect Strength By Perfect Weakness 61-1119).Quote: 110	God passes those who thinks they're something to take somebody that don't know nothing to order to work His purpose in their life...God said to Paul, "My strength is perfect in your weakness. My strength becomes more perfect as you become more weaker. More you can yield to Me the better I can use you. The more you can forget about your education, the more you can forget about your denomination, the more you can forget about your stuff and yield yourself to Me, the more I can use you. (Perfect Strength By Perfect Weakness 61-1119).Quote: 153 He couldn't use it then, ...neither can He use it now. God cannot use our natural abilities. We've got to get ourselves and our abilities out of the way and surrender to the will and power of God. Say, "Well, brother, I can preach." He can't use that as long as you can preach...I can do this. I can do that." You can't do nothing. Well, then God can't use it. But if you'll yield yourself to God and let Him do it... You say, "Well, Brother Branham, I know. I'm a teacher." Well, as long as you're the teacher, why, He won't getvery far. But the Holy Spirit is our Teacher. (Perfect Strength By Perfect Weakness 61-1119).Quote: 164	You come, say,..."Oh, I belong to the biggest church there is in the country... I'm this, Lord. Oh, I'm a Pentecostal. I... Glory to God. I just received the Holy Ghost the other night. Hallelujah. You're going to make me to do so-and-so." God can't use a bit of that. No. Whenever you get licked and realize you're licked, and then come on back and humble yourself. Get weak, find out you're human. And there's none of your intellectuals can do to... Human weaknesses will never be used of God; God by the human weaknesses pours Himself into you, then He uses Himself. You just become an instrument. Certainly. You've got to get yourself out of the way. (Perfect Strength By Perfect Weakness 61-1119).Quote: 216	Confess our weaknesses. Throw off your Doctor of Divinity. Throw off your know-it-all, your membership. Strip yourself before God, spiritually speaking, and call yourself unworthy. Then God can go to using you. Just don't say it from your mouth, bring it from your heart. (Perfect Strength By Perfect Weakness 61-1119).Quote: 60 That's what's happened to the--the Methodists; that's what's happened to the Baptists; that's what's happened to the Nazarene, to the Pilgrim Holiness, to the Pentecostal: lifted up, self-willed, self-XVI
centered, pride, that you can't tell nothing to. God can't find a way to get into their hearts. It's because they become so know-it-all that nobody can tell them anything. And by building themself around reasoning with brethren, they build themselves around their creed. And when they do, they leave God in the back. (Influence Of Another 62-1013).Quote: 22 It seems like that when man gets to the place that he feels that he's self-sufficient, sin begins to take ahold of him. The church, the nation, the individual, that feels that he doesn't need any help from outside, sin begins to reign in him. That is true. And we would notice too, that when people begin to feel that superior feeling, usually sin sets in and cankers them. (Handwriting On The Wall 58-0108).OVERCOME SELF AND PRIDEQuote: E-33 Let's go over to the Revelation. Jesus said Himself, "He that overcometh, I will give him the morning star." The Bible said that. What is it? A overcomer, one that's overcome the world, overcome self, overcome pride. "I'll make him the morning star." What does it to do? "I'll shine him up and set him up there that I can... by My oncoming power will reflect My own Presence (Hallelujah.) in the darkness. (Former And Latter Rain 60-0303).Quote: 81 And I've always found out that the man that humbles himself is the man that God exalts. When you take a person with his chest out, knows everything, and you can't tell him nothing, and he is arrogant, and--and, well, that--that's the person that never gets anywhere. But you take that person that humbles themselves and walks sweetly. (Humble Thyself 63-0714e).COME TO CROSS OF SELF-DENIALQuote: E-17 Did you notice? Abel, when he offered the more excellent sacrifice (in which God testified that he was righteous), Abel slew his lamb on the rock, and Abel died on the same rock with his lamb. And every believer that comes to Christ must come to the same cross of self-denial, and die there with the Lamb, with his Lamb. Die out to own thoughts; die out to your own mental thinking. Just take what the Holy Spirit says in your heart, then live for Christ. (Christ 55-0221).Quote: 356 Get empty, friends. Get weak. Deny your own ability. You out in radio--not radio, but out in--that hear these tapes, wherever they come, empty yourselves out. Pour yourselves out upon God's altar as a sacrifice. Let the Angel come with a coal of Fire, fill that vessel with the power of Almighty God and get... Then He'll make you strong; He'll give you grace to stand. (Perfect Strength 61-1119).Quote: 340 That's the need of today. That's what we need today, is the empty vessels (Yes, sir.) so God can fill them up. And you cannot take them... (I got to bypass a lot here.) God cannot use them as long as they're already filled up. If you're full of theological training, God can't use you. God's got to have empty vessels so He can fill them. (Perfect Strength 61-1119).BEFORE BAPTISM REPENT FOR WORLDLY AMBITIONQuote: 80 Tonight, we're going to baptize, just in a few minutes, people here in the room that's here to be baptized. And if there's any desire in your heart that you want--have any great worldly ambitions, repent of them right now. Tell God you're sorry that you wanted to be some great worldly person. Say, "Lord, my complete ambition is to be like Jesus. Come meekly, humbly. (Identified With Christ 59-1220e).Quote: 15-3 See, he knowed to wait on the Lord. And there's where so many people today bring a reproach upon the Word. They go out with an ambition. How many revivals have been left flat because of aXVII
thing like that, because the evangelist doesn't wait to see what the Lord's got to say? (Paul A Prisoner Of Christ 63-0717).Quote: 16-6 God always has to take any man that will serve Him truly, to be His prisoner. A man has to surrender every ambition he's got, everything that he is, every--everything: his life, soul, body, will, ambitions, and everything else, and become a complete--a prisoner to Christ, Who is the Word, to serve God. (Paul A Prisoner Of Christ 63-0717).Now, self and pride go hand in hand. Off-springs from self and pride are envy, and his brother ‘jealousy’, and coming out of that is hate, malice, bitterness and all manner of sins and iniquities. So, failing to deny self makes you an open target for the enemy.HOW JUDAS FELLWe have a man here in the scriptures, whom I will cite as a witness. His name is Judas. Now, Judas Iscariot was called by Jesus Christ; he had a true gift. Judas went out and preached the son of man in His first coming, and he had a wonderful personality.I could prove that in the Word, that he had a great, unquestionable testimony, before the apostles, insomuch that when Jesus said, “One of you will betray me”, not one of the apostles asked if it was Judas. They preferred to blame themselves, instead of challenging such a wonderful testimony, and asked, “Is it I?” Nobody knew who would be the deceiver of the Word itself. It takes only the Word of God to point out that evil spirit. It takes the Word of God, to point out that antichrist spirit of the devil or you will be deceived. He had a wonderful testimony, his life was shining, he was baptized in Jesus’ name, he preached the coming of the Lord, revealed as the son of man from an intellectual view point; he was not born again. He worked signs and wonders. Yes sir!Judas was anointed by a genuine anointing, but it was a seventh day anointing, and not the Bride age anointing. His personality was a wonderful one. You ask, “What is the part in Judas that got him in trouble?” Exactly what I said before: ‘self.’ It could be covered by miracles and signs; self could be covered by a righteous life. The Bible said Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.II Corinthians 11:14 <And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.>Now, hold that word ‘self.’ That is the key and the condition of the heart that causes a man to be devil possessed and go out with a ministry.Here is a man in the Bible, he had a wonderful testimony, the man had a wonderful personality, the man even had a true gift, the man had signs and wonders, he was preaching the coming of the Lord, not only that, but he was chosen by the Lord, and the Lord trusted him to carry the money bag.JUDATARIAN GROUP MORE TREACHEROUSQuote W.M.B.: 103 “Now, remember, there's church carnal back there under the Esau, the Pharisees and Sadducees. But watch this guy who thinks himself just a... He'll go along with the Message for a while, but he just don't want to put his hands too much on it. See them spirits? Jesus said, "It'll be so close to the real thing, it'll deceive the very elected,"...See, it'll deceive.... not just the carnal church.... We got now the Judatarian group, which is far more treacherous... coming right up into the very hands of the blessing.... Jesus said that type would be there at that day. "Many will come and say, 'Lord, have not I prophesied (preached)? Have not I cast out devils in Your Name?'" Jesus said, "I didn't even know you, you worker ofXVIII
iniquity." ...We're coming to making the hundredth millionth's of a hair, right down to the sharp edge of theGospel, sharper than a two-edged sword, cutting even to the asunder of the bone, and a Discerner... of the thoughts of the mind." (Hear Recognize act on Word 60-0221).We are coming down to a millionth of a hairline of deception, more deceiving than Judas, in the last days. Think of taking one strand of hair and splitting it down lengthwise to a million pieces, and you will get the idea of deception.He said there will arise a Judatarian group, right around the message. That Judatarian group had been in action a long time.Quote: 67 Now, there is another group that always hangs around, and that's the make-believer. Now, that make-believer is considered the hypocrite.Now, let's take a make-believer. It was Judas. He was the make-believer. And the make-believer hangs on and on, trying to find some way that they can get something on it... That's Judatarian.That's the unbelievers, the make-believers, and the believers. Them three still exist everywhere across the world. They've always have, and they always will. Now, think of it tonight, here and on this tape to those that'll hear. Them three classes is setting; they are three classes of those people always gathered. (Go awake Jesus 63- 1130E).Now, under his righteousness, and his testimony, and his personality, and his works and his preaching was hidden “self” in Judas. Judas was full of ‘self’ but the apostles and the disciples could not see that in the man, but the Word looked out there and saw that in that man’s heart. My beloved, get rid of self, deny self, preachers that will listen to this tape. It is a dangerous thing to handle the Word of God, and have self, pride, ambition, lust and desires that are not in accordance with God’s Word. Now, we should obey the master and “deny self.”MILLIONS OF FALSE PROPHETS – SELF – W.M.B. REJECTEDBecause people never heeded that advice to deny self, we have millions of false prophets on the earth today, claiming to preach from the Bible but they are establishing themselves.Millions of people rejected William Branham, as Elijah the prophet, and publicly denied him. Do you know why? Because they are not Elijah, and wanted to be Elijah. That is why they rejected Elijah the prophet, because each of them has ‘self’ down in them. It would have been all right if one of them was Elijah, but not William Branham. Self is a dangerous, negative element.Now, from that word that Jesus used: ‘self,’ you could take it back to the modern language today and say, ambition. You may not find that word in the Bible. No, no, no. You would find the word “pride” in the Bible. But when Jesus spoke of ‘self’, He referred to that evil nature and evil desires. Its ambitions. It’s a dangerous thing to be ambitious! The only ambition a Christian should have is to gain eternal life. That’s my highest ambition.Matthew 6:33 <But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.>Judas Iscariot had a faith ministry, raising the dead, healing the sick, and was anointed by the Holy Ghost too. That condition of the heart was right for Satan to come and in-dwell his heart. The Bible said:Luke 22:3 <Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.>Now, the apostles’ heart’s condition was right and the Holy Ghost came down in them, on the day of Pentecost, but the heart of Judas Iscariot was always right to receive the devil; ‘self’ did that. Before a demon could come down inside of you and live, guide and motivate you; you have to meet a certain heart’s condition.XIX
Yes, I am speaking about the ministry. Judas did all of those things, but the devil came and entered him. Now, Satan could not have entered Judas until that heart’s condition was right.DEMON POSSESSION NOT BY ACCIDENTNow, such demon possessions, like I talked about, does not happen by accident, they come by pre- meditation of the wrong things. I will say that again. I said, such demon possession of these spirits that were exposed here does not come by accident, it comes by pre-meditation of the wrong things. Now, as a Christian, you don’t be just walking down the road and one of these cultish spirits; or spirits of interpretation or antichrist, just get ahold of you on the side of the road. No sir! I walked in darkness, I walked amongst all kinds of demon power, I met all kinds of demon possessed men and not one of them ever grabbed me. They never came down into my heart. Do you know why? I do not have the heart’s condition to entertain demons. What I am saying beloved, is that you must have a certain condition of the heart for a demon to strive. You also must have a certain condition of the heart for the Holy Ghost to strive, just as certain as there are certain physical conditions in our system where germs strive; and there are certain conditions that you can meet as a human being, so that germs cannot strive in your system.AIDS DON’T JUMP OUT OF BUSHESNow, people who get AIDS cannot be walking on the side of the road and pick up AIDS. AIDS doesn’t jump out of the bushes and catch anyone. No! They have to meet certain conditions, and when they meet those conditions, the AIDS virus comes inside of them; and when they get it they could pass it on to somebody else. However, this spirit that is trying to take the church down the broad way of destruction is worst than the AIDS virus. It is worst than the AIDS virus!Now, it has been proven by medical science that germs will strive in an unbalanced alkaline system; a system that is made up of eating what we have today as modern foods of roti, rice, meat, chicken etc. But then it is also proven that the same germs that will strive in an alkaline system cannot strive as well in an acidic system. That is why I take vinegar. That is why Doctor Jarvis of Vermont, USA wrote that book on apple cider vinegar, saying that the modern foods that we eat today; almost every thing is alkaline based, and the human race got away from the acids that we used to take through the fruits that we used to eat, and through the cultivation of non-hybrid foods. So now, in order to balance this alkaline he recommended apple cider vinegar to make your system acidic, because germs do not strive as well in an acidic system.This whole religious world has a spiritual alkaline system, but Malachi 4, Revelation 10: 7 brought the acid of God’s Word to make your system acidic so that demon power cannot strive in your system. I want a spiritually acidic system with so much acid in there, that from the time that demon power smells it from outside; they have to flee.Plaque is hard like concrete. The dentist must drill it out, under enough pressure. But just that acid pulls that out. The Doctor said, if that could do so on the teeth, then that acid goes down and destroys the stones in the bladder and the kidneys. It destroys arthritis in your knees and your joints! My beloved, if the Word of God could bring you out of organization, it could also get you born again, and it could carry you to the Token. Is that right? [Congregation says, “Yes! Amen!] Besides that, every evil appetite in your life can be destroyed by making your spiritual system acidic by the Word of God.The spiritual system of Judas was just right to entertain the devil himself. That is summed up in one thing and that is self. He heard all the preaching of Jesus, he saw all the signs and wonders, and he was close to the Lord, but yet he was not willing to adjust his self to receive the Holy Ghost. No! He loved self.XX
A lot of sincerity could be confessed by the mouth. Men speak more sincerity by their mouths than they have in their hearts. Do not follow the words of men or the actions of men. Let a man manifest what is in the heart, and then you would know that man. Now, if there is self down in a man, covered up by works, signs and wonders, he will manifest it. Follow God’s Word in a man.EVANGELISTS - FULL OF SELFNow, the modern evangelists are full of self; they manifested that by rejecting William Branham; they manifested that by heaping up millions of dollars from the churches. Is that a manifestation of self? [Congregation says, “Amen!”] They could cry over the radio and the television, behave as nice as they want to, have the softest voice, and manifest righteousness; the life that they manifest speaks louder than their voices. Jesus said:Matthew 15:8 <This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.>Because of a lack of self denial and humility, this proud generation is ordained to condemnation and a fiery burning-Malachi 4:1-2, it has caused them to reject the message of God by W.M. Branham; Elijah the prophet. Thousands of preachers are awaiting their burning. Most of them heard the prophet and his message, saw the mighty signs, wonders and miracles demonstrated by the Spirit, and rejected it to build a name and a kingdom of their own. They sold the Word of God for money even like Judas. They are modern Judases.Now, all the words of our Lord are very wonderful and true. Judas was drawing nigh with his lips but his heart was far from the Lord.	We could speak a lot of things, but the Lord really looks down in the heart. Man looketh upon the outward appearance but God looks upon the heart. A man deceives other men by the outward appearance. The eleven apostles were deceived by Judas’ outward appearance, insomuch that not one of them asked if Judas was the betrayer. They considered Judas higher than themselves in order to have asked that question: “Is it I Lord?” Not one of them asked: “Is it Judas?” Now, Judas was that betrayer. He was that one who was going to sell out the Lord.Matthew 7:21 <Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.>Now, words are nothing. Let me see what you are living. In time you will manifest what you have down in your heart! I say it is a time-tested Bride; in time you will manifest who you are. Judas followed for many years, and when he got accustomed with Jesus, with the miracles and signs and the preaching, out of his heart was manifested self. I am giving you a living example. I am talking about the Bible; a living Bible experience; this man was around the Lord. How many are persuaded that Judas never gave up “self?” [Congregation says, “Amen!”] Now, if you never denied self and keep following the Lord Jesus, somewhere down the road that self will be manifested!Now, Judas had “self” covered over by works of righteousness; miracles and signs and preaching the coming of the Lord. Self was hidden inside of Judas Iscariot’s heart where the apostles could not have seen it, but Jesus saw that and said:John 6:70 <...Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?>Now, the heart of Judas Iscariot was just right for that devil to come in. Now, your heart must be in a certain condition for the Holy Ghost to come in. Likewise, a man’s heart must be in a certain condition for the devil or a demon to come in there. A certain heart’s condition must be met to receive the Word of God, and a certain heart’s condition must be met to turn down the Word of God! That is what I am trying to say.I am saying that don’t matter how much revelation we claim to have, how much we talk about Brother Branham, how much we talk about revelation, how much we could preach, how much we could sing; if we have not denied self and you are following the Lord, that self is going to get you into trouble. That self will manifest itself somewhere down the line. Now, we have the picture painted.XXI
me.>MINISTRY GETS COMMONJesus said: Mark 8:34 <...Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow	   I	  am	  saying	  that	  Judas,	  under	  all	  those	  conditions,	  he	  never	  denied	  self!	  Because	  he	  never	  denied	  self,	   he	  was	  going	  to	  get	  into	  trouble.	  Self	  is	  going	  to	  get	  you	  into	  trouble!	  Judas	  Iscariot	  got	  accustomed	  with	  the	   son	  of	  man,	  got	  accustomed	  with	  the	  ministry	  and	  got	  accustomed	  with	  the	  preaching.	  Now,	  self	  was	  going	  to	   be	  deceitful	  enough	  to	  manifest	  itself.	  Time	  does	  it.	  You	  get	  accustomed	  with	  the	  revelation,	  and	  you	  will	  get	   brave	  enough	  to	  manifest	  “self.”	  	  From	   the	   day	   that	   God	   chose	   Judas,	   that	   selfishness	   was	   in	   him.	   Judas	   was	   born	   with	   it,	   but	   he	   never	   denied	  self.	  Now,	  “self”	  is	  the	  condition	  of	  the	  heart	  that	  gets	  people	  into	  trouble,	  later	  on,	  to	  accept	  a	  devil’s	   ministry	   and	   to	   turn	   down	   the	   revelation	   of	   Christ.	   The	   Lord	   does	   certain	   things	   in	   order	   that	   “self”	   will	   be	   manifested.	  Jesus	  gave	  Judas	  the	  money	  bag;	  that	  was	  in	  order	  to	  manifest	  self.	  Jesus	  knew	  all	  along,	  the	  man	   that	   He	   chose.	   He	   gave	   him	   the	   money	   bag	   for	   a	   certain	   purpose.	   He	   was	   going	   to	   manifest	   self	   by	   stealing	   what	  was	  in	  the	  money	  bag!	  The	  money	  may	  not	  have	  been	  much	  that	  he	  stole,	  but	  the	  condition	  of	  the	  heart	   that	  he	  expressed	  was	  more	  detrimental	  to	  his	  soul.	  Let	  us	  say	  that	  he	  stole	  five	  cents;	  it	  expressed	  self.	  Jesus	   was	  his	  pastor.	  He	  looked	  around	  and	  he	  felt	  that	  too	  much	  money	  in	  the	  church	  was	  used	  up	  on	  Jesus.	  Now,	   do	  you	  see	  where	  that	  spirit	  is?	  That’s	  the	  spirit	  of	  Judas;	  that’s	  the	  spirit	  of	  the	  devil.	  And	  the	  other	  disciples	   were	  carried	  away	  by	  that	  saying	  of	  Judas.	  Now,	  what	  did	  it?	  Self!	  	  Look at what self is going to do to him. Because of it he was ambitious. Self is ambition! Self is pride! Self is the sin of the heart. It doesn’t matter what you do, it is going to have to leak out somewhere. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. When you don’t think that you are exposing yourself, you are exposing yourself.So	   now,	   this	   bad	   spirit	   that	   was	   around	   Jesus	   said	   that	   this	   ointment	   could	   have	   been	   sold	   and	   given	   to	   the	   poor.	   That	   showed	   how	   much	   he	   loved	   Jesus.	   Do	   you	   know	   that	   expressed	   envy?	   Envy	   is	   in	   self.	   Do	   you	   know	   that	   expressed	   jealousy?	   Jealousy	   is	   in	   self.	   Do	   you	   know	   that	   expressed	   hatred?	   Hatred	   is	   in	   self.	   Do	   you	   know	   that	   expressed	   ambition?	   Ambition	   is	   in	   self.	   	   Do	   you	   know	   that	   expressed	   self	   exaltation?	   Self	   exaltation	   is	   in	   self.	   That	   is	   why	   Jesus	   said,	   “Deny	   yourself,	   take	   up	   your	   cross,	   and	   follow	   me.”	   	   When	   you	   deny	   yourself	   and	   take	   up	   your	   cross,	   you	   are	   going	   to	   crucify	   self.	   In	   order	   to	   get	   the	   baptism	   of	   the	   Holy	   Ghost,	  you	  have	  to	  crucify	  self.	  Jesus	  did	  not	  carry	  His	  cross	  just	  for	  nothing.	  He	  was	  going	  to	  be	  crucified	  on	  it.	   He	   said,	   “...take	   up	   your	   cross...”	   (you	   have	   a	   cross	   too),	   “...and	   follow	   me.”	   Now,	   that	   self-­‐crucifixion	   is	   very	   important.	   Now,	   if	   you	   do	   not	   have	   a	   self-­‐crucifixion,	   you	   are	   an	   open	   target	   for	   the	   enemy,	   because	   the	   condition	   of	   your	   heart	   is	   just	   right	   to	   receive	   everything	   that	   the	   devil	   wants	   to	   put	   in	   there.	   He	   will	   deceive	   you,	  because	  down	  in	  your	  heart	  you	  don’t	  have	  any	  revelation.	  Now, that is only one thing that was recorded in scripture (concerning the ointment). What about the other things he was constantly pointing out to the apostles and the disciples. He found fault when Jesus preached; tried to find some wrong thing that he thought that Jesus was doing. What does that express? That expressed that Judas was trying to elevate himself above the son of man.Imagine that Jesus was bringing the message of the kingdom, and “He did not know how to spend the church money?” When that “self” wants to be exalted, it will find every carnal weapon to fight; and the weapons of Judas were carnal, earthly, sensual and devilish; trying to fight the master by a carnal weapon because he knew that he could not show or prove that Jesus was not the Messiah, so he tried to use a carnal weapon.“I caught him now!” Now, that was in Judas’ heart all along: self-exaltation and pride. When he thought he had a point, he called it out. Every little fault that these false prophets could point out, they would do it. TheyXXII
say, “Do you know how much tithes is collected here?” Now, the real sheep pays his tithes unto the Lord. He feels that if he has his soul in the hands of the man of God, then what is his money? The money is a carnal thing. Now, that is how a sheep thinks.Anytime a spirit starts speaking like that, it is a devil that came from hell; and whether it’s a lay member or a preacher, they have self down inside of them. That spirit was here in the days of Brother Branham. Brother Lambert said that a man gave Brother Branham a new brand motor car, and Brother Branham never used that car until three years after. Brother Branham would go and shoot targets, and do you know what those Judas spirits started saying? “Imagine how much money he has wasted on shooting targets!” Brother Branham said that the Lord sent him down at Brother Jackson to take a rest.SELF MAKES YOU JEALOUS AND ENVIOUSA man who appreciates God’s Word, he is blind to those things because he loves God’s servant. If he was here I would take off my shirt and give it to Brother Branham; I will remain hungry and let him eat my food if he needed it. I am trying to show you that self that was in Judas.Oh my, listen to me; this is the Bible! Now, the reason that Judas complained was because that self was in him. He thought that he ought to have had that glory and he was not getting it. “Well, I am equal with this Jesus; I could preach just like him; I could sing just like him, I could do miracles just like Him. These people are giving him too much honour and glory, and my ministry is not recognized as it should be recognized.” All along he was feeling that way but he did not have a point to harp upon. When he thought he had a real concrete point and the ointment was being used, then he spoke out before everybody. The whole house was filled with people. He tried to embarrass Jesus. He thought he really had a point, but Jesus knew this fellow all the time. He said, “This ointment could have been sold; what a waste, what a waste, what a waste! Something like this? If it was His head I would still have some consideration! But look at the waste on His feet! Do you mean to say they have to honor this man so much that they put ointment on his feet?” Now, self makes you jealous, self makes you envious, self makes you ambitious, self makes you think that you should have that. I will tell you the truth; a man of God doesn’t care for any of those things. If a man is built up right, whenever you say any good thing about him, he knows how to give God that glory.When you follow a man of God, after a certain time so much confidence is built up in that man of God, that his wishes are your command. You say, “Wishes are your command?” I remember David once was fighting and he was really tired and he was speaking to himself. He said, “I wish I had a drink from the brook of Bethlehem”, and three of his main soldiers heard him, and though he never asked them to do such a thing, they cut through fifteen miles of Philistines army, forth and back, to get that water and bring it to David. David was so built up, he knew how to give that glory to God, and he took the water, poured it out upon a rock and gave the glory to God. The wishes of the man of God become a commandment to those that are yielded to God. And that woman was so yielded, that she took that ointment and anointed our Lord’s feet; expensive ointment. But a man who was not yielded found fault.There is a certain heart’s condition to have the seed of God planted, and you must meet that certain condition. The condition for that seed to be planted is; “deny self, take up your cross and follow Jesus.” Deny self! When we fail to deny self and go through life following Jesus with that self in us, then we are an open target for the enemy and our heart’s condition is ready for Satan to deceive us and for Satan to take his abode.Now, the subject that I am trying to prove is how men get deluded by Satan, and how it is they could accept Satan’s delusion. How? It is because of a certain heart’s condition. I said that there is a certain condition that germs will strive in, and there are certain conditions of the body that germs cannot strive in! One condition of the body germs will strive in and breed rapidly; and if you make your system acidic, germs cannot strive. That acid is the Word of God; you have to pass the acid test.XXIII
FAILURE TO DENY SELF - TARGET OF SATANYes, Judas Iscariot’s heart was just right. “Do you mean a man preached revelation, a man left the world, a man worked signs and wonders and a man is gifted; do you mean to say that the condition of his heart was just right for Satan to come and possess him at the end?” Yes! That was the condition that Judas Iscariot met in order for him to be a dwelling place for Satan. Jesus preached; “deny your self.” He failed to deny self! Failing to deny self, he became yielded to the devil. The time you yield to self, you are yielding to the devil.SELF PREVENTS NEW BIRTH & TOKENSatan found an abode in Judas, though he was anointed. He was anointed by a seventh day anointing, not the Bride age anointing. Jesus said, “He that will come after me, let him take up his cross and follow me.” When you refuse to deny self and purge it out of your system, you are a target of the enemy. You have the right base, you have the right heart; you have met the right condition for the devil to deceive you and for the devil to take you away. Anytime you keep self within your soul, it hinders you from receiving divine revelation, but it does not hinder you from receiving an intellectual understanding, because Satan deals with the intellect but God deals with the heart.Now, self prevents you from receiving a divine revelation, self prevents you from being born again, and self prevents you from getting the token. I am proving to you that Judas kept “self.” He never had a self-denial, and because he never had self-denial, he had no revelation, he was never born again, and he never made it up to Pentecost. This is a most marvelous revelation, even telling you how to be born again, telling you how to get a divine revelation, and also telling you about loving the world.I John 2:15 <Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.>Now, if you are a Christian and have not denied self, then you have all kinds of ambitions: you would want to be a scientist or some other professional person. I am saying that a real Christian who denied self only wants the necessities of life, not the wants of life, not the things of the world, they don’t think about a big education and they don’t think about going away from the Word to study. They don’t think about a big mansion on earth; they don’t think about the most expensive motorcar. They only want the necessities of life.You say, “I have been following this Word for several years and I am sure that I am not born again.” There is something hindering your birth. The thing that is hindering your birth is self. Now, Judas followed for three and a half years and he never got a revelation. There was something hindering his birth. I am saying that it was “self.” I am saying that he was never born again. What was hindering him was “self.” He never made it up to Pentecost. Something hindered him and that was self. It was manifested in money.That is why Jesus said, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.” If you want to get born again you have to deny your self. Jesus said, “...whosoever humble himself shall be exalted.” It goes with these other scriptures:Isaiah 28:9 <Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.>Matthew 11:25 <...thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.>In other words, you become like a child and deny self. Now, that is the plan of God to be born again, that’s the abc’s, of the born again experience, and Judas Iscariot came to a place where he was a perfect abode for Satan. When he sold out the Word, Satan entered Judas Iscariot. Now, do you see how dangerous “self” is? Now, “self” will hinder you from receiving a divine revelation; self will hinder you from being born again; self will hinder you from receiving the baptism of the Holy Ghost; the final outpouring of the Spirit for rapturing power (Church age pages 377-380).XXIV
SPIRITS OF DELUSIONS ARE NOT ACCIDENTALThe danger of self is if a spirit passes around to self-exalt you, you will grab ahold of it without even knowing it; you will grab ahold of it as God, because the condition of your heart is not right. Why it did not grab me? I am saying that we do not pick up these insanity spirits, these cult spirits, these delusion spirits, these spirits of antichrist, these spirits of false interpretations, accidentally! You do not pass on the side of the road and they accidentally jump on you! You must have a certain heart’s condition. Once that heart’s condition is present, and that spirit attacks, you will accept it, whereas another man’s heart’s condition is not right for it and he cannot accept that spirit. From the time it comes to him it bounces off, and that man smiles.Now, these antichrist spirits of delusion cannot be taken up by any man, any boy and any girl, just by accident. They come by premeditation of self, ambition, lust and desires; that is how they come. That is why one man could be affected by them, and another man is not affected. That is why Peter was not a proper abode for Satan, and you never heard that the devil entered Simon Peter. No, no, no! We read in one place where Satan anointed him and Jesus said, “Get thee behind me Satan.” He never grumbled at Jesus, because his soul was built up right. When Jesus drove the spirit away from Peter, he never fought back. He stayed very cool, and Jesus did that in public. When He exposed Judas that never stopped Judas. No sir! He said, “One of you will betray me.” He said, “The one to whom I give this sop, he is the one that will betray me. What thou hast to do, go and do quickly,” In other words, if you are going to betray me go ahead and do it quickly. Those who have to follow you, let them follow quickly. If you are turning into a traitor, go ahead and do it quickly; the kingdom of God will stand.I wish that you will understand this lesson by the spirit that I am giving it to you; it will teach you a lot of things for many days to come. You should not take things for granted. Never judge a man on the surface. Not because a man could pray; not because a man could act sincere; not because a man could preach; not because he has works of righteousness. No sir! My beloved, all those things could cover self. I will say this here, if you have missed the whole message: self is the bedding ground for demons. Self is the bedding ground for demons! Yes, ambition. You show me a Christian that has all kinds of worldly ambitions, and I will show you a bedding ground for the devil; a bedding ground for pride; a bedding ground for lust and a bedding ground for all kinds of worldly desires.I John 2:15 <... If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.>	  Now,	   bear	   a	   little	   patience;	   I	   am	   going	   to	   climb	   a	   little	   higher	   after	   awhile	   and	   triple	   prove	   this.	   Now,	   I	   am	  answering	  a	  question	  in	  this	  message	  that	  I	  asked	  in	  my	  preaching,	  and	  that	  is,	  “How	  is	  it	  that	  after	  a	  man	   hears	   God’s	   revelation	   for	   so	   many	   years,	   he	   could	   fall	   to	   satanic	   delusions?”	   The	   answer	   is	   very	   simple;	   he	   has	   to	   meet	   a	   certain	   heart’s	   condition,	   and	   that	   is,	   he	   never	   denied	   self;	   self	   is	   still	   in	   him.	   That’s	   the	   only	   thing	   that	   the	   devil	   could	   use;	   the	   evil	   nature	   that	   is	   in	   man.	   And	   in	   order	   to	   follow	   Jesus	   and	   come	   out	   right,	   you	   have	   to	   deny	   self;	   to	   be	   born	   again	   you	   have	   to	   deny	   self.	   	   	   Let	   me	   warn	   you	   as	   a	   congregation	   and	   wherever	  this	  tape	  may	  go;	  that	  self	  will	  hinder	  you	  from	  receiving	  divine	  revelation;	  self	  will	  cause	  you	  not	  to	   be	  born	  again;	  self	  will	  cause	  you	  not	  to	  get	  the	  baptism	  of	  the	  Holy	  Ghost!	  Yes.	  That	  is	  why	  I	  preach	  the	  way	   that	  I	  preach	  because	  I	  want	  the	  individual	  to	  deny	  self	  and	  empty	  out.	  We	  are	  full	  of	  self!	  Empty	  out!	  Yes,	  self	   is	  of	  the	  devil,	  pride	  is	  of	  the	  devil.	  Now, I have checked out these men for years upon years and the answer that I came up with as to how a man gets in that condition, is that there was some self in him, that remained in the man, that he never denied. And that ambition might have been in the world, where you were a number one in everything! That ambition might have sprung from so-called Pentecost, where you were a number one in everything! That ambition might have been way over there in the plain message where you were a number one in everything, and then when you hit God’s revelation, you never gave up that ambition! Then secretly in your heart; selfishly down in theXXV
heart; subconsciously down in the heart, you still looked forward to that! My beloved, that is going to take you to your grave, hell, the lake of fire and the second death.HOW CAN I OVERCOME- BORN AGAIN EXPERIENCEI want this lesson to be understood by everybody who is following this revelation. Beloved, herein lies the born again experience! Herein lies the revelation of the son of man! Herein lies the baptism of the Holy Ghost! Beloved, you have to get rid of that self. You say, “How will I get rid of self?” Beloved, beg God to make you humble, beg God to take away self from down in there! Yes, only He could remove it; be honest in your prayer. Brother Bob said, “Purge that thing out by prayer and fasting, instead of praying for a ministry.” Instead of praying for power, instead of praying for perfection, instead of praying to get up into the Shekinah glory, pray against yourself. That’s the plan to be born again: “Lord, empty me of myself.” Brother Branham said:GREATNESS GRACE HUMILIATES SELFQuote: 99 Jesus gave us the example how to do it. Now, we want to know how to overcome. Jesus told us how to do it. See, humility, girded Himself took a towel, and washed the disciples' feet, and wiped them. The very God of heaven humiliated Himself.We don't want to be humiliated... (I'm going to say something.)--greatness humiliates itself. Grace humbles itself: greatness. (How Can I Overcome 63-0825m).NO SERVANT OF GOD IS A SHOW OFFQuote: 129 The next great assault was that he made upon Him, that He would be a show-off. And how that does hit God's servants, to be a show-off, to show what you can do. "Glory to God. Hallelujah, I'm a deliverer. I'm something." See?Quote: No true servant of God ever does that. You see a man showing off, his chest out, and all like that, just remember, there's something wrong there. No, God don't want that. Jesus set the example. He could've done it. He certainly could've done it, but He didn't do it. No servant of God is a show-off of hisself, to try to take God's power and show himself above somebody else. (How Can I Overcome 63-0825m).MUST DENY YOUR SELF TO RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRITQuote: E-61 And the only way you can be Abraham's seed is to deny your own self, and die to your own self, and be born again of the Holy Spirit, because the Life that was in Christ makes us Abraham's seed. We take on his seed by the Holy Spirit which was given to us by the promise of God. "And the promise is unto you, and to your children, to them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." (Seed Shall Possess The Gate 61-0212e).DIE TO YOUR OWN SELF-BORN AGAINQuote: It takes death to produce life. You've got to die to your own thinking. You've got to die to your own theology. You've got to die to your own self, to your own human ways. You've got to be regenerated, a new creature, a new creation. Before you can be that... You can't be two at the same time; you got to die to one in order to be born in the other. It brings a mess, and it causes a mess too. But you're--you got new life. What difference does it make? You got to do it. (The Way Back 62-1123).WORST ENEMY IS YOURSELF – GET YOURSELF OUT OF THE WAYXXVI
Quote W.M.B: E-28 I used to preach over in the Baptist church a little sermon; I called it, "Let Loose And Let God." That's right. Just let loose and let God; as long as you got yourself into it, there ain't no way. You know who the biggest enemy I got's William Branham. He's always in God's way. If I can just get him out of the way, then God can go to work. That's your worst enemy is yourself. Just get yourself out of the way, and then God can go to work.” (Separation from unbelief 55-0228).Quote: 71 The thing you have to overcome is yourself, your ideas, your things, and surrender yourself to Him. He overcome for you. He knows the way; we don't. (How can I overcome 63-0825M).That is how you become an overcomer; first overcome yourself; that “I man.” Anytime you hear that expression, it is self speaking. “Self!” That is our enemy friends! That is the fellow that is hindering you from being born again. That is the fellow that is hindering you from receiving the revelation of Jesus Christ. That is the fellow that is hindering you from going up to Pentecost. That is the fellow that brings delusions upon people.Think of what I am saying. Self could work so deceitfully and cunningly that another man does not know that is inside of a man. I slept together with preachers, ate with them, they hugged me at the feet washing and you talk about wonderful personalities and men that had loved me and I had loved them, for years. We came to this revelation together, and I never knew that there was self in those men. Later on, after years, it manifested itself. Do you know where they are tonight? Believing that they are prophets to lead the Bride with a deeper revelation. Now, that is what self does. If you ever listened to “Bethel Experiences”, you will hear me talk about some of those same things.“If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.”Anytime you have self after sitting under the Word of God, you are an open target for deception, because a demon will offer you something off the Word of God and you are going to grab it. Now, you could say how sincere you are, how righteous you live or how pure your motives are, but when a demon passes and you accept it, it disproves all that you have claimed. That could not have happened to you unless there was some self down in you! I am saying that such spirits do not come by accident; they come by premeditation of self, pride and ambition.HOW ART THOU FALLEN FROM HEAVEN, O LUCIFERIsaiah 14:12-15 <How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!...?>Now, this is a question. It must have an answer. In other words; “Lucifer, you were a bright and shining daystar. I made a daystar in the sky that represented you. Your name is called the daystar, you are called the covering cherub. You were mighty in valour. You were the song leader; I made the musical pipes within you. How did you fall Lucifer?” The Lord has to give us the answer. It is going to prove what I am saying.<...For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.> Alright, here is a man following the Word; Judas. How did you fall away from grace Judas Iscariot? Well,it is the same reason that caused Lucifer to fall.<How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer?>He was in heaven. How did he fall? You had better be careful since you are on earth. If he could fall from heaven, what about you who are trying to climb into heaven? The reason that he fell from heaven, God is now expressing:<For thou hast said in thine heart...>XXVII
It was a certain heart’s condition that caused him to fall from heaven and the grace of God.<... How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer... For thou hast said in thine heart I will ascend into heaven...>He was in heaven, but he wanted to climb up to where God was, to do a certain thing.<...I will exalt my throne above the stars of God...> Above the stars of God. <I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:...> That word, “mount” means “in place of control.” “I will sit in the place of control, over the congregation.”That was his heart’s condition.<...I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.> This reveals what I am telling you, just from the reading of the Word. Lucifer was in heaven, and everything was running right; everything was running smoothly in heaven;everybody recognized Michael. Lucifer held to his position. Michael held to his position. But war broke out in heaven. What caused war to break out in heaven? War broke out in heaven because somebody said in their heart:<... I will ascend into heaven...>In other words, “I will take a position that God never gave to me.”<...I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:...>All this here speak of self. Do you know it amounts to ambition? He was a highly ambitious creature! And what caused the problem in heaven was self, and out of self came forth ambition. He drew a third of those angels by his tail and he is now their master. He desired to be in control of God’s congregation. That was in his heart. He was righteous.Ezekiel 28:15 <Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.>INIQUITY IN LUCIFER: PRIDE, SELF, AMBITION, LUST, SIN, UNBELIEFNow, the iniquity that was found in Lucifer was pride and self. He was a good creature; a righteous, holy and perfect one. He had a nice testimony until the day iniquity was found in his heart. That iniquity was self, pride, ambition, lust, unbelief and sin. The word “self” covers all such terminologies.Here is a creature that was very ambitious. What made him so ambitious? Look at the plan he had in his mind; he wanted to rule over all the stars of God; not only a little portion; he was aiming at the whole thing. Yes sir! He got that self, pride and ambition carried over to another angel, in order to make a conspiracy and a plot. Then he went to another angel and that angel understood just like him. He said, “When we set up our kingdom, you will be the second man. Because of your abilities, you should be doing something higher here, but for years we had been serving tables. I will give you a better position. Listen to me, don’t you ever let that out, don’t you ever tell anybody about this plan.” Lucifer dealt with another angel, and then another angel, and everybody was tight-lipped. The only way that the next angel could have received it, and the other angels likewise, it was because there was self and pride in them also. There was a lacking of revelation.In heaven, in the presence of the great Michael the Archangel, Lucifer was able to convince one third of the angels with an interpretation, thus carrying them down to hell. In the presence of the Almighty and the mighty Archangel, Michael, that spirit started moving, and everybody was tight-lipped. He took his ambition, pride and self and passed them on to some head angels and made them demons. Afterwards unto many millions or billions. Many demons are upon the face of the earth. Those fallen angels became the demons. Demon is justXXVIII
another name for them because they fell. Lucifer held a certain office, but when he fell he became Satan, which means the adversary of God, the devil. Those fallen angels became demons, evil spirits, but they are fallen angels. And that tale that Lucifer told in the heavens, they believed it! When you believe a lie, that lie is going to damn you! Yes sir! It is going to damn you! Don’t believe a lie. A third of the angels were persuaded and damned in heaven, much more for sinful man on earth. Those spirits want to get in amongst us and spoil the people of God who follow God’s revelation.DIVISIONS, HERESIES IN THE VERY PRESENCE OF MICHAELI cannot get over, that right in the presence of Michael this evil was working. Michael looked around and saw that fellowship was broken. He saw that the countenance of certain angels fell, and said, “I have their number.” Michael had the majority. “Get your swords sharpened and wait on my command until you hear me say, ‘Fire!’ Just behave like you don’t know what is going on. I discern that there is something evil going on.” When they had their plot made up Michael said, “Fire!” Yes sir; they were ready. The war was finished in a few minutes, in God’s time.Jesus told His apostles and disciplines:Luke 10:18 <... I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.>The only man that brought out that revelation was Brother Lambert. He said, “Because Michael was in heaven and he kicked Lucifer down. And he looked over and saw when he fell down, and the place where he fell was Eden.” The garden was not yet planted.When Jesus came, they thought it was Jesus speaking but that was Michael the Archangel. In other words, He was trying to tell them that He kicked him down. Michael has a kicking ministry, and everything that cannot behave itself in the Kingdom of God will be kicked out.TWO KINGDOMS BECAUSE OF SELFNow, let me bring a very vital point to you. Before the heart’s condition was met in Lucifer, there was only one kingdom and there was only one ruler, one church, one Lord, one faith, one baptism and one God that they were serving. The glory was going to one God! But when pride entered Lucifer’s heart, it made two kingdoms! You belong to one of those kingdoms. There was only one kingdom until a being got jealous and envious. The two kingdoms could not associate together, and one came down to the earth and the other one was going to rule over the saints from heaven. When Jesus came down He said:John 18:36 <...My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight...>Now, Satan established his kingdom here on the earth and it is both a natural and a spiritual kingdom. You and I were born in that kingdom of Satan and, “Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Only when you get born again you will be able to see God’s kingdom. If you are not born again all that you could see and live for is Satan’s kingdom: This kingdom of money, houses, land, women and popularity, speaking about carnal things, loving carnal things, and appreciating carnal things. Talking about the new car that was invented; and you will spend half an hour talking about that. The new bomb they invented. And you will talk about it for two hours. It sickens me! I don’t want to hear any of those foolishness! Tell me about the kingdom of God, let me know what the message is doing to you, let me know what Brother Branham said somewhere, let me know if you understand the seals and if you understand the Church Ages; it is life to me. A natural man speaks of natural things.XXIX
DROPPED DOWN TO EARTH - DRAFTED IN MANRomans 8:6 <For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.>Now, is that not plain enough in God’s Word? There was one kingdom ruled over by one Michael until pride entered into Lucifer’s heart. When that pride entered into his heart, it became two kingdoms and one of the two kingdoms dropped down to the earth and it involved man. It drafted man into the kingdom of Satan, but that never destroyed the Kingdom of God. Michael, who is the head of the original Kingdom, came down in the form of Jesus, to finish up this great battle that started in Genesis. Oh yes!But you would not forget this message. It has to do with your birth, it has to do with a revelation, it has to do with a minister; it has to do with delusions. Now, after a man hears a message like this he needs to hate “self.” If you don't hate it you are not going to enter into God’s Kingdom. Your greatest enemy is yourself.WAY OF DELIVERANCE FROM SELFThere is a way of deliverance from self; that is; you have to pray against self. Your greatest prayer is not for a ministry, not for the Token. You could pray how much you want for the Token, if self is not denied, you are not going to get it. Jesus set the example of what He preached: “self denial.” He was tempted in all points as we are, yet He denied self, appetite for sin and lust. He sanctified Himself, denied self and did not marry a wife. It was expressed in His prayer on Mount Olivet when He prayed, “Not my will but Thine be done.” He denied self and forsook His own will to do the will of the Father.James	  4:	  1	  <	  From	  whence	  come	  wars	  and	  fightings	  among	  you?	  come	  they	  not	  hence,	  even	  of	  your	  lusts	   that	  war	  in	  your	  members?	  	  Ye	   lust,	   and	   have	   not:	   ye	   kill,	   and	   desire	   to	   have,	   and	   cannot	   obtain:	   ye	   fight	   and	   war,	   yet	   ye	   have	   not,	because	  ye	  ask	  not.	  		  	ROOT OF FUSSES, CONFUSION, DIVISION	   	  	Ye	  ask,	  and	  receive	  not,	  because	  ye	  ask	  amiss,	  that	  ye	  may	  consume	  it	  upon	  your	  lusts.>	   	  	  	  	  	  	  	  	  	  	  	  	  How	   do	   wars	   come	   in	   the	   church	   brethren?	   How	   does	   a	   war	   start	   in	   the	   church?	   How	   does	   a	   war	   get	   started	   in	   the	   church?	   What	   is	   the	   root	   of	   these	   wars?	   What	   is	   the	   root	   of	   a	   division?	   What	   is	   the	   root	   of	   the	   fussing?	   What	   is	   the	   root	   of	   the	   confusion?	   How	   do	   wars	   happen	   amongst	   brethren	   and	   amongst	   Christians?	   How	  did	  war	  start	  in	  Heaven?	  That's	  the	  way	  it	  starts	  in	  the	  church.	  The	  way	  that	  war	  started	  in	  Heaven	  is	  the	   way	  that	  it	  starts	  in	  the	  church.	  It	  is	  because	  of	  lust.	  Lust	  means;	  desires,	  ambitions	  and	  self.	  That	  is	  how	  wars	   start	  in	  the	  church.	  	   	  	Well,	   from	   whence	   come	   wars	   brethren?	   James	   said,	   brethren,	   from	   whence	   come	   wars	   and	   fightings	   among	  you?	  In	  other	  words:	  spiritual	  wars	  and	  fightings	  amongst	  you?	  Let	  me	  tell	  you	  something,	  this	  is	  where	   it	   came	   from:	   it	   is	   because	   of	   your	   desires	   that	   are	   buried	   in	   your	   hearts	   that	   you	   never	   surrendered.	   Brethren,	  why	  do	  you	  pray	  and	  your	  prayers	  are	  not	  answered?	  You	  pray	  for	  the	  Token,	  you	  pray	  for	  a	  revival,	   you	   pray	   to	   get	   up	   in	   the	   Shekinah	   glory.	   Why	   were	   your	   prayers	   not	   answered	   brethren?	   Because	   you	   were	   going	   to	   consume	   it	   upon	   lust.	   In	   other	   words,	   you	   were	   going	   to	   lift	   up	   self	   with	   it,	   you	   were	   going	   to	   edify	   self.	   You	   were	   praying	   for	   a	   greater	   ministry	   than	   Michael's,	   to	   equal	   God's.	   He	   said,	   that	   is	   why	   you	   did	   not	   get	   it.	   That	   is	   why	   you	   did	   not	   get	   it.	   You	   are	   praying	   and	   praying.	   He	   said,	   why	   have	   your	   prayers	   not	   been	   answered	  brethren?	  	   	  	There	   is	   a	   reason	   why	   your	   prayers	   are	   not	   being	   answered,	   because	   when	   you	   pray,	   you	   pray	   with	   a	XXX

But did you deny self? If you deny self the devil cannot give you something to exalt self above the stars of God and a God-sent pastor. When you try to exalt yourself above those that had the revelation before you, it is the devil. Is that the devil? [Congregation says, "Amen!"] It has to be the devil! It has to be the devil! It fits every quality of the devil.That's why tears do not fool me; soft speeches don't fool me. You say, "Somebody has a marvelous testimony.” Let me hear what they are doing with that Word. Let me see how they react to correction. If that spirit cannot be corrected, the person is anointed of the devil, on their soul. Peter was anointed on his body and he responded to correction. Judas was anointed by the devil on his soul and he did not take correction; he went out and sold Jesus for money.The devil has one motive in coming into our midst. The enemy comes not but for to? [Congregation says, "Steal."] steal; and to? [Congregation says, "Kill."] kill; and to what? [Congregation says, "Destroy’"] destroy.“Now, what shall I do to be saved, Brother Bruce?" Deny yourself, take up your cross and follow the Lord. If you ever said a prayer and if you ever begged God for something brother, let your prayer go up to the Lord and say, "Lord, help me to deny this self, this ambition and this pride that is in my heart." Yes. Out of self and pride come forth envy, come forth jealousy, and out of envy and jealousy come forth all manner of confusion and evil work, because it is the wisdom of the devil. Yes sir!At the event of the seven seals the prophet warned message ministers and believers to humble themselves, in the message; “God Hidden And Revealed In Simplicity.” He repeated the same with greater emphasis on “Questions And Answers”, seals pages 458-461, prior to the preaching of the seventh seal. He knew that self-exalted, proud and ambitious spirits were prevalent and that they would try to interpret the 7th seal, which will cause spiritual death to many sincere people.They refused to heed his warning because of their proud spirit. Based upon the 7th seal/7 thunders they formulated many heresies and became false anointed ones, false christs, false prophets, “eighth messengers” and even “God manifested in human flesh.” Some of the chief heretics around the message are internationally popular and hailed as the great powers of God. The secrets of the inner recesses of their souls are exposed by this message. All their heresies, lies, hypocrisies, deception, sins, unbelief of the truth, the message and GodJames 3: 15-17 <But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against thetruth.This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full ofmercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.>7TH SEAL/7 THUNDERS VS LACK OF SELF DENIALXXXI
himself, their popularity, love of money and immorality are summed up in the simple fact of not denying “self” as the Lord commanded.Matthew 23:12 <And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.>Quote: 142 Overcome the thing. How do you do it? By the Word. What the Word says, you do it. Walk humble; live before Jesus.He endured all things for you and I. He is our Example how to overcome our evil generation as He overcome His evil generation. (How Can I Overcome 63-0825m).Quote: 180 You told us how it's done. You didn't only tell us, but You showed how it was done. You led us. You showed us how to do it: receive the Word inside of us and be sure to hold that Word, "It is written," in every temptation, but be humble, walk humbly. Then we have conquered through You, through Your power, which has already conquered our enemy. And the only thing we have to do is--is just walk humble with faith believing that and our badge of identification of the Holy Ghost, and Satan has to move. (How Can I Overcome 63-0825m).MAN WITH A REVELATION CANNOT BE DECEIVEDIn conclusion, what I have preached from the Word of God to you, automatically proved that a minister with the new birth, a born again experience, a divine revelation of the son of man cannot accept the devil's ministry and try to twist the church off the Word of God. He could not, according to the Word of God. It is impossible for the devil to deceive a man who has a divine revelation, into any kind of ministry. Impossible! Yes sir! If that was possible, the seals were opened in vain. The very opening of the seals was for us not to be deceived by the devil. Anytime a man is deceived by the devil, it shows that he never had a divine revelation.Yes my brother, deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Him, if you want to enter into the kingdom of God. If you want to find the way of Life, you have found it tonight.Many questions were answered and this is going to be a blessing to many who have not heard it. Brother Sam, will you dismiss us in a word of prayer? [Brother Sam Jones prays.] Thank you Lord! Give Him a praise offering. [Congregation praises.] Thank you Lord. The Lord bless your hearts saints. Amen!BETHEL EXPERIENCE WHICH WARRANTED THIS TEACHINGThis message entitled: “Self and Satanic Delusions: Pride, Ambition And Demon Possession”, was preached in 1993 at Guayaguayare, South Trinidad at “Little Bethel.” The little flock experienced many trials but the Lord delivered them with a mighty hand. The church is yet standing strong by the grace of God.The church experienced one of her greatest attacks of Satan through an ambitious and self-centered preacher, who was appointed assistant pastor of the flock. Such attack caused me to preach this message. It was on hold upon the condition that the man would repent, and if not it would be released to Bethel’s saints and message believers for their edification.Mr. Ed was an enthusiastic preacher with a lovely family. He was associated with a heretic from Trinidad, who propagates himself as the Indian chief authority, Dove led eagle etc. He helped in the operation of a church. He came to Bethel with a group and accepted the revelation of Brother Branham’s message and denounced the heresies of Vin. Many of the believers did likewise. They all attended the services at Bethel for about five years which took a six hour round trip for each service, since they had lost their place of worship.He judged himself unfit for preaching. He hoped to empty himself of all heresies. He seemed obedient,XXXII
humble and a man with an attractive personality. His testimony was outstanding, giving much praise to the Lord for his deliverance and the high standard of morality and the truth preached from the pulpit at Bethel. His deep seated pride, self, ambition and lust for a greater position were undetected by all. His testimony amongst the believers seemed to have been respected.God provided a place of worship for the saints at Guayaguayare at the expense of Bethel. The property was placed on his name and also another brother’s name. He was appointed assistant pastor of the flock. All seemed well for about one year, then suddenly the tone of his voice changed and his reverence and respect for the ministry deteriorated. He spoke boastfully, found fault with the ministry, and thought that God was using him to bring deliverance to all at Bethel. At Little Bethel he expressed independence, spoke many blasphemies against the ministers and made them a laughing stock. His wife had no confidence in his preaching nor private tutoring at home. He spent much time in studying the message to get a greater revelation for his elevation. In the absence of the pastor he declared that Bethel’s policies are not his policies nor the policies of the church at Guayaguayare. He had a few dreams. One he mentioned to me with tears, stating that he had turned against the truth in a rebellious manner. I comforted him, but after a short while he manifested the same.Putting together his dreams, sensations, imaginations and interpretations, he exalted himself to think that he had the revelation of the seven thunders, tutored the congregation privately to pray until they rise into the dimension of the Shekinah glory to catch that revelation. He influenced the minds of great men of the church and outstanding believers. Much fear for him was instilled in them, as a special man of God who was hearing directly from God, insomuch that the majority of the congregation did not want to meet the pastor and several fled when he visited the church. Mr. Ed, after much schooling of the believers, desired a separation by throwing out the pastor, now that he had the property on his name and another brother, whom he also won to his heresies.Mr. Ed was given a ministry of Satan. He was directed to Isaiah 41:9-12. He assumed that it spoke of him as God’s servant, when in fact it referred to Israel – God’s servant-nation. He said, whosoever resist him will perish and saw the pastor behind the pulpit trying to move the congregation off his revelation and foundation but he shrank and crippled up after leaving the pulpit.The pastor exposed his experience as false and his ministry as of the devil. Mr. Ed came to the pulpit and confessed that he was deceived once again. However, he tried to change the story of his true intention to divide the congregation, making it appear like a conflict and misunderstanding amongst a few brothers. He was further exposed for his lies and proved that because of his selfish ambition, he was deluded of Satan. Also, the pastor did not wear the type of clothing which he was shown by Satan in his experience, nor was the pastor crippled, after preaching the Word and delivering the sheep. The solid foundation he boasted about was sinking sand.He believed that Eve was designed by Satan, that he was gifted to bring the faith of the seven thunders and take the people up into a certain dimension. Some expressed that the outpouring of the Holy Spirit would fall amongst them. He said that the pastor stood in need of deliverance, along with the Bethel congregation. He spoke with great authority, with expressions of pride and self exaltation at Bethel’s pulpit. The pastor corrected him privately and he rebelled against the truth. He thought to bring about a separation with the majority on his side. With that confidence he approached the pastor and argued about policies and doctrines, trying to prove him wrong. He was quickly put down by the Word of God and the chief men who he deceived by his heresies were delivered. The showdown in the congregation lasted several days. Each one confessed how they were deceived and the heresies by which they were deceived. He was angry and very disappointed. He felt betrayed by his own men.His wife arose and publicly stated that she did not believe his doctrine and denounced it as antichrist. He made his way to the pulpit and confessed that he was wrong, hoping that the pastor would continue to leave the church in his care. All these things were recorded on magnetic tapes. The pastor saw that his repentance was hypocritical and deceitful, as he refused to shake the hands of certain brethren and persecuted his wife at home, calling her a traitor and Jesuit. He ran to the pastor’s wife for her to intervene, saying that his “chief men could have killed him and they are all betrayers. They put him up on a tree and then cut it down”. She told him if he was wrong, to repent and all would be well, as she knew that the pastor was full of mercy and consideration for his soul’s salvation and decided not to cast him out of the church but only remove him fromXXXIII
office in the interest of the people’s salvation. Nevertheless, he was very disappointed when the pastor placed another to look over the flock in his absence. His plans to butcher the sheep for exposing him failed! He continued with his heresies, evil-speakings and false doctrines, and persecuted his wife because she was an unbeliever in his teachings. She continued to attend church with the children but became anointed by that spirit and told lies to defend him. Mr. Ed’s cup was full with his sin, unbelief, heresies, pride and ambition. He was finally dismissed. His wife and children followed him and lied to save his face and also theirs as the family had been around the message for several years and five years under the truth and revelation of the message preached at Bethel. Mr. Ed boasted that he sat for five years and had learned his lesson well. However, he did not know his ABC’s of self denial.Ed and his family were the only ones carried away by his heresies, interpretation and ism on the thunders. He quickly associated himself with “prophets” Mac and Ken. He told lies about his separation which they gladly received. He spoke blasphemies against the pastor of Bethel and the congregation. His wife and children are back in the world. May God have mercy upon their souls. To further prove, support, confirm and encourage men to obey the commandment of our Lord to deny “self” and humble their hearts to God, I will document a few major experiences of Bethel - the House of God and Grace Covenant Church (G.C.C.), under the subject of “False prophets.”200 MILLION DEMONS LOOSED IN RELATION TO FALSE PROPHETSCHAPTER 2Ephesians 6: 11-13 <Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.>The previous chapter showed how a man’s “self ambition” which he never denied, leads him into satanic delusions, and takes him to a place where he believes; he has a ministry, is hearing from God by way of higher revelations, visions, dreams, spiritual experiences; is a prophet, son of man, eighth messenger, and even very Christ – God manifested in human flesh, along with many other satanic claims. It further showed that his main problem is pride and ambition. Such lack of self denial and heart’s condition to exalt himself is the perfect bedding ground for Satan to sow his seed and use that person as his tool. Much emphasis was laid on these most important and enlightening facts.Such persons are the perfect tools of Satan, timely born for his purpose and sold to do his will, as they are not sold out to eternal life, the cause of Christ and God’s will, and in them are the very ambitions of Satan, which are to exalt self, seek the praises of men and make a name and kingdom for themselves (Isaiah 14: 12-13).However, many ambitious people in religious circles are not aware of the dangers of such ambitions and competitions to exalt themselves. They twist the truth and formulate heresies to achieve their goals. Spirits work through such falsehood. They anoint such persons making them feel supernaturally endued with power, but it is satanic. If a man with the truth and spiritual discernment is not used of the Lord to deliver them, they become possessed by such demons. They may manifest signs, wonders and miracles but deny the Word of truth. They cannot abide in the truth. This is the character of Satan and it is reflected in the demon-possessed. (St. John 8: 44). They automatically become false prophets, false christs, false teachers etc.Satan has a five-fold ministry made up of such ambitious people. They make millions of converts around the world. Many of God’s children are deceived by this trap of Satan. According to prophecy, they areXXXIV
behind ten-inch thick iron bars, with the great hope of deliverance (Works is faith expressed 26/11/65.) Others are too ambitious to repent and will perish.SATAN’S ARMY TO COMBAT SEVEN SEALSSatan’s army on earth was reinforced by 200 million demons loosed to produce false christs and false prophets in fulfillment of Matthew 24: 24. They are powerful demons in the religious realm. They were sent of Satan to combat the seals, full restoration, the coming of Christ, God’s true servants and the Bride Church in general. People are not aware that they are deceived, controlled and bewitched by such demons from the River Euphrates (Denominational Rivers). For deliverance of God’s children, only the spoken word ministry by another outpouring of the Spirit can accomplish such task.Revelation 9: 13-17 <And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.>Quote W.M.B.: 23-4 ... under the Sixth Trumpet (Revelations 9:13)... there was two hundred thousand horsemen that had been bound in the river of Euphrates was turned loose under the Sixth Trumpet....They wasn't natural horses... It was spiritual horses, spiritual devils, chargers, that had been bound in Euphrates all these years, supernatural devils. What was it? The old Roman Empire being revived, the persecution of the Jews... But they were bound there, two hundred thousand devils of persecution.And notice what happens under that Sixth Trumpet. They were turned loose on the Jews, the persecution of the Jews. Supernatural devils, nearly two thousand years, then loosed by Stalin, Hitler, upon the Jews.You say, "Well, that isn't Roman." It's the same spirit that done the same things it did to the Christians in the old pagan Roman days (Now, watch the natural Israel and the spiritual Church now, as we separate it here.) turned loose on the Jews... There's that Roman empire bound there by what? The ecclesiastical powers, which Rome, pagan Rome become papal Rome, and was bound there in its traditions. (Feast Of The Trumpets 64-0719).Quote: 28-2 Notice, the loosing of this ecclesiastical spirit. Now, twenty years later after that war, we see the loosing of the ecclesiastical spirit...The hour that we're living, the ecclesiasticals, the spirits uniting together now and bringing them all to this big one slaughter to blot out; it's already in writing here in this nation now. And these churches has to be closed, unless you're with the organization. It's a union; it's a boycott, just like the mark of the beast. And now you see what the beast is, don't you? It's a power. And a power, a ecclesiastical power...They're supernaturals devils unseen to the eye, but you can see what they're doing. See?Notice, while that group is a-riding, making themselves ready to stomp out everything that won't agree with them, there's another group being made ready after while: Revelations 19... And those two meet one another on the battlegrounds: Lucifer and Michael again, like in the beginning. (Feast Of The Trumpets 64- 0719).XXXV
INSANITY SPIRITSAmbitious preachers pressing themselves into the realms of revelation, without the right purpose, encounter such spirits of impersonation and become deceived, demon-possessed apostles, prophets and teachers. Most of them have formulated heresies based upon the 7th seal/7 thunders, since the great purpose of Satan is to combat the revelation of the seven seals. Its revelation exposed his strategies of spiritual warfare by the exposition of seals one to four.Deluded souls are automatically engaged in a spiritual warfare of mighty angels which started in heaven and came to earth, caused the fall and ends in the greatest battle ever fought in the end time (Revelation 12: 7).The human mind is too weak to contain such tremendous battles. In the absence of true office gifts, the Holy Spirit and a changed nature, it produces insanity. In fact, such spirits loosed today are insanity spirits, and the whole world will go insane, according to prophecy.Quote W.M.B.: E-44 ...If anybody ever dealt with insanity, that's the devil that's on those people, demons. (Attitude and who is God? 50-0815)Quote W.M.B.: 11-8 Let me prophesy something to you just before it comes to pass. The whole world is groping in insanity, and will get worse, and worse, and worse until it'll be a bunch of maniacs, and it's almost that way now. (Knoweth It Not 65-08 15).All such people, ambitious men, false prophets and demonic spirits of insanity are prophesied to be heaped up in the end time, in a one-world government and a one-world church, by the bundling of the tares and the uniting of Satan’s powers in the pale horse, and they would cause righteous men, women and children, to be put to death who would not be in their religious affiliation, and would not take the mark of the beast. It would be a world of insane and demon possessed people. It would be literal hell upon the earth.MADNESS OF A PROPHETA good example can be found in the false prophet Balaam, who being possessed with such spirit of madness and insanity, ran greedily after gain and insanely argued with a donkey (Numbers 20).II Peter 2: 1, 14-16 <But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction....Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.>The word “madness” used there is translated from the Greek word “paraphronia”, which is translated to mean “insanity.” A man has to be insane to argue with a donkey. This is an example of the delusions that false prophets get into, being possessed by these spirits of insanity. This holds true for all false prophets.All that a false prophet does today in way of self exaltation, running after money, women and popularity thinking that he is hearing from God by way of visions, dreams, higher revelations of seven trumpets, seven thunders, fourteen seals, rapture has started, millennium is in progress, office claims of prophets, eighth messenger, five-star general, dove-led eagle and very Christ Himself, and all that was previously stated, is expressed madness. When a man, woman, boy or girl, preacher or lay-member, rises up and lays claims to these things and such offices, and would not be admonished by the Word of correction, it shows that it is notXXXVI
something natural or to be viewed casually, but it is actual and literal demon possession; spirits of insanity, that were prophesied to be loosed upon the face of the earth, here in the end time.It should be noted that several false prophets who were exposed by E.O.D.H. were committed to insane institutions, and even died there, in their insanity.Saul was troubled by an evil spirit, and expressed its desire, against his better judgment, to seek the life of David. When that spirit left him he was a different man; humble and repentant. (1 Samuel Chaps. 18, 20, 24 & 26.)I Samuel 18:10-11 <And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and [there was] a javelin in Saul's hand.And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall [with it]. And David avoided out of his presence twice.>Those evil spirits could prophesy, see visions, dream dreams, work lying signs and wonders, give false sensations, false revelations on the coming of Christ (Seven thunders/seventh seal), make men think that they are receiving higher revelations by the Spirit of God, when in truth and in fact it is an evil spirit of the devil; spirits of insanity. This work will evidently prove these facts.This chapter focuses on these demons of insanity that were loosed in the end time to possess men and women, why they were loosed, when they were loosed, what are their aims, purpose and ambition, who they will possess, the end of such persons and all who are deceived by them and their teachings. It shows how men and women get demon possessed, and what spirit and anointing is upon every false prophet. It will show the danger of perverting and misinterpreting the Word and message of the hour. It will further prove that a demon is upon every false prophet who perverts the Word of God. It will be evidently proven in the scriptures and the message of the hour.People disregard the danger of mishandling the Word with pride and self. They view it naturally but it is spiritual destruction of many souls. To pervert the Word, an evil spirit got upon the serpent, and as soon as he twisted the Word and convinced Eve of that heresy, that anointing of the devil fell upon her. The apostle James said that if a man’s wisdom or revelation does not come from above, then it is sensual and devilish. There is a demon behind it and he is anointed of Satan to pervert the Word of God. A demon of insanity is upon him.James 3: 13-17 <Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full ofmercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.>The apostle is saying that true wisdom or revelation from God is not accompanied by pride but meekness.Such men, perverters of the Word of God, possessed of demons, have crept in under the message of Malachi 4: 5-6, and it did not happen by chance. It is the working of Satan (Jude 1: 1-4).When the son of man sowed good seeds in His field, the devil sowed tares right amongst them. That meant that Satan sent his children right into the church of God to be a part of it, under the message and messenger of that age, (Matthew 13, Acts 20) with a very detrimental plan and purpose, and by that plan Satan succeeded in sending the church to the grave, and delaying the resurrection and rapture of the early church unto the time appointed. The prophet of God said that if the early church had gone on uninterrupted, the rapture would have taken place. Satan interrupted the rapture of the church by heresies and heretics, false prophets and false teachings; and where these could not have reached, he did by martyrdom by these evil men. The opening of the seals revealed that Satan does not change his plan and tactic of deception. That is the same plan he employed in Genesis and is presently employing in this age.XXXVII
SATAN’S ATTEMPTS TO PREVENT RAPTUREGod, by His grace, sent unto us Elijah the prophet fulfilling the scriptures of Malachi 4: 5-6, Revelation 3:14, 10:7. As in every age, when God sends a message to His people, Satan, seducing spirits, false prophets and teachers, stand ready to pervert the message of the age like it was perverted in Genesis, when God himself delivered the first message to His children.While the apostle Paul, the first messenger of the seven church ages, was yet alive, the gospel of Jesus Christ and Paul's teachings were perverted (Galatians 1:1-8), and at his departure grievous wolves entered and spoiled the flock. Men who represented his message and teachings arose and divided the flock by heresies. The same was repeated under the ministry and message of William Branham. While he was yet alive, He said that there were nine different interpretations of his message in Tucson Arizona USA, alone. After his departure, there were many other interpretations formulated.Many diabolical and satanic heresies were formulated after 1963. Just as he prophesied, evil men arose like in the days of Paul, false prophets and false christs as prophesied by the Lord Jesus, Matthew 24:24. Some have international recognition amongst message churches, ministers and believers. This work seeks to explain how, why and when such things have taken place in our day and age and establish how men make themselves false prophets. This, through Bethel experiences, we the church of God have seen and experienced for years upon years. It will show how these heresies were formulated, when they were formulated, why they were formulated, and who formulated them, since they are Satan's stronghold and make up the most dangerous weapons of Satan against the end time church in a last attempt of Satan to prevent the translation of the saints.AGE OF FALSE PROPHETSIn the first coming of Christ, He was revealed as son of man (prophet). It was an eagle/prophetic age. Around that same time Satan was revealed as the son of perdition in a false prophet known as Judas. When God sends a true prophet, Satan sends false prophets.Quote W.M.B.: E-38 "In the days when the gathering of the people was in Egypt, God sent them a prophet. And when God sent them a prophet, the devil sent them some false prophets." That right? Sure did. "And... when Jesus was coming, God sent them a prophet... And there was a false prophet raised up."...Every time the people are gathered together at the end of the road, at a junction, God sends a true prophet, and the devil sends a false prophet. (God Keeps His Word 57-0307).An eagle age is also an age of false prophets, because when the Spirit of Christ returned on the day of Pentecost and set a five-fold ministry in order, the antichrist spirit returned in the tares and many false prophets were manifested upon the earth.1 John 2: 18-22 <Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.>1 John 4:1 <Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.>Christ’s second coming at the seals, was also prophesied to be accompanied by many false prophets and teachers. The enemy came in the religious realm, with a flood of evil spirits and false prophets to combat the opening of the seals.XXXVIII
DEMONS USE MENThe prophet of God said that a demon is almost helpless until it has a body to use. The seals revealed that the antichrist spirit was incarnated in a false prophet called the pope. This is the process by which all false prophets are made.Quote W.M.B.: 203-1 {189}... Now, he couldn't be antichrist, only in spirit. Then he become an antichrist, and that spirit took a man that taught the same things that that antichrist spirit was doing, and then he become a false prophet to the antichrist spirit. Now, what about a man in a organization? Suit yourself.... antichrist spirit (the antichrist spirit incarnate) false prophet... (The Second Seal 63-0319).The spirits of Revelation 9: 13-17 could not have been loosed in the political realm before men like Hitler, Mussolini and Eichmann, whom they used to fulfil their purpose, were born upon the earth. Likewise, they could not have been loosed in the religious realm, until the men who they were to use were born upon the earth. In a vision of the prophet it was prophesied of the rising of these men soon after the days of his ministry. They were referred to as the false anointed ones, which is another term for false christs. Christ means “the anointed one.”Quote W.M.B.: 183-4 {45} Did you know there will be false christs arise in the last day? It should follow immediately after this great message that this brother will speak, that will actually come, be anointed in the spirit of Elijah, immediately. (The Second Seal 63-0319).FALSE ANOINTED ONESQuote: 45 ...I seen that vision come up, and there was a great earth, and it'd been all disced up. And there went a Sower forth first... And as this Man with white on came forth around the earth sowing seed... Then behind Him come a man, dark clothes on, looked very sneaking, slipping along behind Him sowing weeds. And as this taken place... Then I seen both crops come up. And as they come up, one was wheat and the other was weeds. And there come a drought, ...both of them had their heads down just crying for rain. Then there come a great cloud over the earth, and it rained. And the wheat raised up and said, "Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord." And the weeds raised up and hollered, "Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord." Same results...Notice. The same anointing water brings forth the wheat, brings forth the weed. The same Holy Spirit that anoints the church, that gives them desire to save souls, that gives them power to perform miracles, It falls on the unjust the same as the just: the very same Spirit. Now, you can't make it another way and understand Matthew 24:24. He said, "There shall rise false christs," false anointed ones, anointed with the genuine thing, but be false prophets of it, false teachers of it. What would make a man want to be a false teacher of something that's Truth? (Anointed Ones At The End Time 65-0725M).I want to tell you something here. And that is; about the time of the loosing of these demons, there were certain men born upon the face of the earth to become the false anointed ones and to become the vessels of these demons. It is a fearful thing!When a man arises, after hearing the truth, and will misbehave and condemn the truth and say that he is a prophet and he is an eighth messenger and he is Michael and he is Gabriel, friends, that could be one that was ordained to be born like that to receive one of those devils. Any man who would fight the truth after sitting and hearing it could be one of those men ordained to that condemnation.The multitude of false prophets that are now upon the earth are not by chance. There were men born unto condemnation as false anointed ones. These kinds of men could not be born upon the earth until this time.XXXIX
They could not be born in no other age but in this age. Jude said that certain men crept in who were ordained to this condemnation. Beloved, there are some ordained to condemnation and some who are ordained to eternal life.This is a fearful thing that I am talking about! Be careful overseas there. When you get these messages, when you get these books, when you start hearing these truths, check your motives and objectives. There are men born to this condemnation to fight the truth, to be selfish and bring divisions and fight the true servants of God. I will use the prophet’s words to confirm that.Quote W.M.B.: E-72 "The hour is here, brother, when... "As Jambres and Jannes withstood Moses, so will they, men of reprobate mind, concerning the truth, who was foreordained of old to this condemnation," says the Bible. They could not believe. And they will not believe. The Bible said that in this day that we're living now, that men from old was ordained to be condemned, who turned the grace of our God into lasciviousness. Do you see what I mean? Jude... 4th verse. Read and see if that isn't so.. How can they believe when the Bible has done said they can't believe?" (God keeps His Word 57-0115).That is a serious thing. Just as you were born to inherit eternal life, there are men born to condemnation, and every once in a while they come around the truth to see who they could deceive. Now, you might say, “I may be one of them.” Don’t be foolish. If you reject the truth and you want to walk your own way, and after hearing the truth you call it a lie, that is a manifestation of it. If you desire to be a prophet when God never made you a prophet, if you desire to be Christ when God says you are not Christ, then those are bad signs. But we all hate heresies and hate all those things.Let me give you the prophet’s word on that again.THERE'S PEOPLE THAT WAS BORN TO NEVER SEE ITQuote: E-68 "We realize that there's people that was born to never see it. We know that. God wasn't willing for them to do it, but the Bible said that they were foreordained to this condemnation. How many knows the Bible says that? Just the same as you was foreordained to Eternal Life." (Jehovah Jireh 57-0810).RELIGIOUS TEACHERS FOREORDAINED TO CONDEMNATIONQuote: E-27 Some men was foreordained to that condemnation. The Bible said so--can't be saved, blinded from the beginning, born to be blind. We'll get that this next week. That didn't go very good, but I will prove to you by the Scriptures; it's the truth. And they'll absolutely be religious teachers, fundamental as they can be. That's exactly right." (Pillar of fire 53-0509).When Jesus was born, there was a Judas born. At the opening of the seals these devils were around there, and they were also born to sit around the supper table at the seals, but they were born unbelievers. Unbelieving devils!I will tell you the great purpose of these men who are born upon the face of the earth. They are vessels of these two hundred million demons that were loosed from the Euphrates River, born unto condemnation. You say, “How come that they were born unto condemnation, born never to see it and born never to understand it?” Let me give you the answer right here. Beloved, from the foundation of the world the Lord looked down and he saw that they were determined not to crucify self. Does that answer the question? [Congregation says, “Amen!”] Don’t you know that God knew from the foundation of the world what a man would do with the gospel when he hears that gospel? From the foundation of the world He looked down and He saw that no matter what you tell Judas and what he saw and all the encouragement that he would receive, he would not change that self. He would want to hold on to that self, hence Jesus said that he came from perdition and he returns to perdition which is eternal destruction. So now, the Lord knows your heart today. I don’t know your heart but the Lord knows your heart. He knows what He saw from the foundation of the world. What He saw from theXL
foundation of the world, that is what He is seeing tonight. And whatever He saw from the foundation of the world, that is what you are manifesting. But I am persuaded better things of this congregation and better things of believers. He saw our hearts from the foundation of the world that it would make the sacrifice, yes, it would yield to the Spirit, it would surrender, it would give up self and pride and ambition and fall at the feet of Jesus. That is what He saw in you. That is what He saw in me.You could see better down in your heart than me. What is your intention tonight? Did you surrender your life thirty years ago? Well, it will stand. That is what He saw. Do you badly want the Token? That is what He saw. By the “hook or the crook” you want to be in this outpouring? That is what He saw. Your very thoughts tonight as the Word goes forth and you beat your chest and you say, “Lord, I don’t want to be one of those who are born unto condemnation, have mercy on me.” He heard those thoughts before the foundation of the world and He put your name on the Lamb’s book of life and said, “That person will be desiring eternal life above everything, they would desire to sacrifice everything to walk with the Word of life. They will forsake father, they will forsake mother, they will forsake houses, they will forsake lands, yea, and even their own lives to be the disciples of the Lord (Luke 14:26). They are ordained to eternal life.” Isn’t that wonderful? O, brothers and sisters, this is so wonderful.Just as the Lord saw from the foundation of the world, the elect of God; how much they would sacrifice, how much they would yield, how much they would love life, how much they would want to sacrifice self and pride and ambition, it is the same way that the Lord saw that man over there called Judas who was determined to have his way, determined to be selfish, determined to keep his pride and ambition and love for money and love for the things of the world, and even determined to sell Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. When he sold Jesus for thirty pieces of silver, around that time, with that bad intention, the devil came into him. All the time he had the Holy Spirit. Before that he had a ministry. Before that he had the grace of God. Before that he had the Messiah’s money bag. But when he finally decided to sell the Word, that is the point that he was devil- possessed, and it was Lucifer himself that came into the man. Yes, Lucifer Himself.So now brethren, even in this tonight, all can examine their own heart. Whatever is in your heart tonight is what God saw from the foundation of the world. You could know if you name is on that Lamb’s book of life. You say, “Brother Bruce, do you know if your name is on the Lamb’s book of life?” Yes, it is there. Yes, my name is on the Lamb’s book of life.Alright, the name of the sheep is on the Lamb’s book of life. First of all I heard His voice. “My sheep hear My voice.” How many heard the voice? [Congregation says, “Amen!”] Well then your name is on the Lamb’s book of life. I am determined to follow Christ. I am determined to inherit eternal life even at the cost of my own life. Do you have it made up like that in your mind? [Congregation says, “Amen!”] Well then your name is on the Lamb’s book of life. Do you intend to be a disciple of the Lord regardless of father, mother, wife, brethren, children, neighbour, friend, property, house and land? [Congregation says, “Amen!”] Well, that is His condition of discipleship. So there is a condition of discipleship, and if you are a child of God your mind is made up for eternal life and nothing else. Yes! And if your mind is not made up for eternal life and you hear a message like this, and you say, “I am finished with that kind of hypocrisy, I am finished with that kind of nonsense, I am going to make up my mind, I am going to have a roundabout turn right tonight, I am finished with all the self and all the pride”, my beloved, you are manifesting what He saw from the foundation of the world. It is so easy. Salvation is so easy. Yes! Salvation is so fair.So it is not that God chose you and He did not choose another fellow. He chose because of His foreknowledge of what you would manifest tonight. He knew what Judas would manifest and He knew what Esau would manifest. So before the babies were born, He said, “I hate Esau and I love Jacob.” Now, did you notice that later on Esau manifested the thing that God hated him for? Alright, what was the thing? Selling his birthright. And why does God hate people today? People would walk away from the Word of God and would reject the coming of the token, reject eternal life, reject the coming of the rapture and go into the world, and together with that turn around and call this a lie. Now, you came from hell and you are going back to hell! You came from hell and are going back to hell because your mind is a wicked mind, you are a wicked creature, your soul is not saved, your soul is full of wickedness down in there, just like Judas! But brothers and sisters, if inXLI
your mind you could see, “My mind is made up and I won’t turn back. I would serve the Lord, even if it is me alone, I am going down the road”, then you are in a different category all entirely. May the Lord bless your hearts for your patience tonight. Give us a song there.MEN BORN TO PERVERT THE SEVENTH SEAL/SEVEN THUNDERSCHAPTER 3Jude 1: 1-4 <Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. >Jude is bringing out that there were men born unto condemnation. These are men who God fore- knew from the foundation of the world, who would not sacrifice self, who would not sacrifice pride, ambition and lust. Yes! He also foresaw that they came face to face with the gospel of peace, and sat and heard it, and many of them were identified with it, and many had the privilege of using gifts and sharing in the ministry, as in the case of Judas. He reached so high that he took the Messiah’s money bag. He was the treasurer in the church, and his ministry that was given to him was a very great ministry. And the ministry was not of the devil. The ministry was of the Lord. Jesus called the man and had a certain gift ordained for him, and it was a very great gift. And then the man turned out to be the betrayer. The man was born unto condemnation. The man came from hell and went back to hell, but nothing was wrong with the gift. His gift was so genuine from God that the apostles gathered before the day of Pentecost and they said, let his bishopric, or office, be given to another. And they cast lots and they tried to pass it on to Matthias, but we never heard anything about Matthias. God had it reserved for another man. So if you want to see what Judas forfeited for money, then look at the ministry of Paul the apostle.Paul the apostle received that gift, that office of Judas. Isn’t that marvelous? Isn’t that something great to throw away for thirty pieces of silver? What a man. What a creature, to sell-out such a blessing and such a gift. And the gift, the calling of Brother Paul was one the mightiest in the scriptures and amongst the apostles. The only man that surpassed Brother Paul was the man called William Branham. He was greater than all the other church age messengers and all the prophets, outside of our Lord Jesus Christ.So people are actually born unto condemnation. And if that is true, there are people born to live forever, and we are some of those people, and we are thankful to God. So let me bring this under the title of “Men born to pervert the 7th seal/seven thunders.”Now, what I am saying beloved, is a horrible thing, and thank God that does not apply to us, because we are striving to crucify self. The only way that a man could be born to pervert the 7th seal/seven thunders and born unto condemnation, is that he must refuse the truth and he must, after hearing enough of the Word of God, decide not to crucify self.Now, it always amazes me how Judas could have heard and seen all that he did and still harden his heart not to really repent, but to even get in his mind that he could sell-out and betray the Messiah Himself. Now, a person has to be very wicked. You mean to say, you saw a man stood up at the grave of Lazarus, who wasXLII
rotten, dead and stinking with maggots, and you saw that man with your own eyes and heard Him say, “Lazarus, come forth”, and he that was dead came forth bounded hand and foot in grave clothes, and you could come up against that? You have to really love yourself. You don’t love life. You have to be a terrible person to do something like that. And brethren, that is not farfetched. Right under the prophet’s message, people stood just a few feet away and saw the dead raised, and turned against this message. Not only that, but those who were even raised from the dead, after they were raised started criticizing Brother Branham and criticizing the message. I think that people are braver than us. Yes, much braver than us.FAIL TO SURRENDERSo all that I am saying brethren is that we will come to grips to look down into our own hearts and make sure that we are not like any of those characters. Yes! Make sure that we are not in that category at no time, because anytime that you do not sacrifice self, then you would manifest that one day. So anytime that a man would not sacrifice that selfishness, he is an open target for the enemy, a demon could possess him; a demon could anoint him to do the wrong thing. I am not only speaking about false prophets, in that respect. Now, don’t be led astray; I am not only talking about false prophets and delusions, in that respect. I am talking generally about a man failing to sacrifice self, he would not be born again, he cannot receive the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and he cannot go in the rapture. Remember that too. So this is not just dealing with false prophets, it is dealing with you; showing you that if you do not sacrifice self, put down your ambitions, put down your pride, put down your lust, and I will sum it up in one phrase: “surrender your will unto almighty God”, then you are a target and you have the bedding ground for the devil to work through you in any work of the flesh. You sit in the House of God and you don’t make that sacrifice, you could become a fornicator, an adulterer, you could become a violent man, as well as you could become a false prophet. Yes, that is the truth.So what I am trying to bring out here is that after these demons were loosed, they wanted bodies to work through, and I must remind you that those demons were loosed around the time of the opening of the seals, and it brought about great changes in the world, changes that made history. Yes! Changes that rocked the nations and changed the lives of people, internationally. The prophet of God was alive during that time, and he said that these people could not have been born in any other time than in this age. He was speaking of Presley and Ricky. Now, Brother Branham knew some of these things that we don’t know. He said that Elvis Presley was a modern Judas. He knew very well, these creatures.AGE OF FREE LOVE - SODOM AND GOMORRAHSo now, it changed the entire world and the course of history, and it was also the age of free love. The years of the opening of the seals were the age of free love. Yes. And you see what the age of free love has produced today. Brother Branham never saw the things that we are seeing, but he saw it in a vision. He said women will be practically naked except for a little fig leaf apron, and it is getting down there right now. So now, it’s the age of free love.Do you know what that produced too? During that time it produced the days of Noah, and it also produced the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, because the seals being opened, it was the time for the son of man to be revealed, so it produced the days of Noah and the days of Sodom and Gomorrah. So it changed the course of history, it changed the lives of the people, and you see the mess that the world is in.So as I told you, there were demons of insanity loosed. The people are swallowed up by these demons, and this is insanity. The demons being loosed are one thing, but then they must have vessels to use. The first set of vessels they used were the Dictators who destroyed the Jews. Now, but that did not stop it there. The prophetXLIII
said twenty years after that they were loosed in the spiritual realm. Now, if they are loosed in the spiritual realm, we have that right in the churches of the world.Because of these demons pressing the people of the world today, they have gone to dope, because they are unhappy, they are troubled.Now, these spirits were loosed around the time of the opening of the seals. Remember what I am saying to all in India and in Africa and to every ambitious person around the world; these devils are looking for ambitious people, selfish people, proud people, people who don’t want to really humble themselves, and then these demons, as long as they find those kinds of qualities in any human being, it is a resting place for those demons. And when they get down into them, they use such vessels. Those spirits that are upon the earth today cannot move until they come into human vessels, just like the devil had to go into the serpent, just like those devils had to go into Hitler and Mussolini for the persecution of the Jews. So they want these tabernacles to enter and they have found a lot.So now, these tabernacles that they were supposed to find in this end time were also predestinated and born unto condemnation. So this is what you call false christs and false prophets, and Jesus prophesied about these people being here in the end time. Just as certain as these demons were to be loosed, these men and women were supposed to be here in the end time: false christs and false prophets.Those demons are the ones are anointing these false christs and false prophets, and they have a job to do and that is what I want to look into tonight, and confirm this title to you: “Born to pervert the seventh seal/seven thunders.” Yes, not only the world. No sir! These men were born unto condemnation to pervert the seals, and there is a reason for perverting the seals.Quote W.M.B.: 183-4 {45} Did you know there will be false christs arise in the last day? It should follow immediately after this great message that this brother will speak, that will actually come, be anointed in the spirit of Elijah, immediately. (The Second Seal 63-0319).The prophet of God said that these false anointed ones will appear, and it would be after the seals. Why would they appear after the seals? Now, tie that with the loosing of these two hundred million demons. At the same time that these false prophets were to be upon the earth is the same time these demons were loosed in the ecclesiastical realm or religious realm.Quote: 45 ...I seen that vision come up, and there was a great earth, and it'd been all disced up. And there went a Sower forth first... And as this Man with white on came forth around the earth sowing seed... Then behind Him come a man, dark clothes on, looked very sneaking, slipping along behind Him sowing weeds. And as this taken place... Then I seen both crops come up. And as they come up, one was wheat and the other was weeds. And there come a drought, ...both of them had their heads down just crying for rain. Then there come a great cloud over the earth, and it rained. And the wheat raised up and said, "Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord." And the weeds raised up and hollered, "Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord." Same results...Notice. The same anointing water brings forth the wheat, brings forth the weed. The same Holy Spirit that anoints the church, that gives them desire to save souls, that gives them power to perform miracles, It falls on the unjust the same as the just: the very same Spirit. Now, you can't make it another way and understand Matthew 24:24. He said, "There shall rise false christs," false anointed ones, anointed with the genuine thing, but be false prophets of it, false teachers of it. What would make a man want to be a false teacher of something that's Truth? (Anointed Ones At The End Time 65-0725M).MEN BORN UNTO CONDEMNATION AS FALSE ANOINTED ONESXLIV
The prophet declared that these false prophets, false christs, false anointed ones that were to arise would be false teachers of the truth. Notice that the false anointed ones sowed upon the same grounds on which the prophet sowed. They were sowing seeds of discrepancy, which is perverting the Word and message of the prophet. God’s Word, in every age, comes to the messenger of the age.Jude 1: 3-4 <Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.>There were men born unto condemnation as false anointed ones. They could not be born in no other age. There are some men ordained to condemnation and some that are ordained to eternal life.Quote W.M.B.: E-72 "The hour is here, brother, when... "As Jambres and Jannes withstood Moses, so will they, men of reprobate mind, concerning the truth, who was foreordained of old to this condemnation," says the Bible. They could not believe. And they will not believe. The Bible said that in this day that we're living now, that men from old was ordained to be condemned, who turned the grace of our God into lasciviousness. Do you see what I mean? Jude 4th chapter, or 4th verse. Read and see if that isn't so.. How can they believe when the Bible has done said they can't believe?" (God keeps His Word 57-0115).THERE'S PEOPLE THAT WAS BORN TO NEVER SEE ITQuote: E-68 "We realize that there's people that was born to never see it. We know that. God wasn't willing for them to do it, but the Bible said that they were foreordained to this condemnation. How many knows the Bible says that? Just the same as you was foreordained to Eternal Life." (Jehovah Jireh 57-0810).BORN TO PERVERT THE SEVENTH SEAL/SEVEN THUNDERSThere were vessels designed, and specially framed, to be born in a certain time, in a certain age to work out the plan of God. There were certain men ordained to be false anointed ones in the end time. Judas was foreordained to be Judas. Jesus said that he came from hell and went back to hell. But don't forget that all that is based upon the foreknowledge of God. God, who knows the end from the beginning, He knows exactly what is in the heart of man. And there are certain men whom he foreknew from the foundation of the world as vessels of dishonour to perfect his plan. They were born an Oral Roberts, a Billy Graham and great names in the world; a Tommy Hicks an A.A. Allan, born a pope or a Cardinal. Great men of the earth, and they are working right in the plan of the almighty.There are certain men who were born around the time of the opening of the seals, or before that, in the time of the messenger, for a certain purpose.When Moses was born down in Egypt, there was a Janness and Jambres also born, and they had a certain work to do while Moses had his work to do. At the same time there was another Pharoah who ascended the throne, and the Lord said, “For this cause have I raised thee up, that I might shew forth my glory upon thee.” He was born a stubborn man, he was born an unrepentant fellow because he was selfwilled, stubborn like a mule. Don’t matter what he saw God do, he had an explanation for it, and he decided to keep those people in bondage.About the time that Jesus was born, there was a Judas crying in a crib. God ordained those two women to be pregnant around the same time. And on the other hand he had another fellow called John the Baptist, born six months apart from Jesus, and they were all going to play out a certain part.XLV
As certain as William Branham was foreordained of God and prophesied in Malachi 4: 5-6 to be born upon the earth in the age of the opening of the seals, there were also false anointed ones foreordained like Judas, to be upon the earth at this special time.The opening of the seals was that great supper of the Lord. In that great supper of the Lord, the false anointed one typifies Judas sitting at the supper table. Now, just as certain as the apostles and the disciples were sitting and enjoying the supper with the Lord, and there was a Judas in the midst, at the opening of the seals, there were also Judases, false anointed ones, sitting right in the tabernacle, who came from different states, and there are others who were born for that certain purpose, sitting around the world, to receive the message of Brother Branham and the preaching of the seals. They were foreordained to pervert the revelation of the seals.RELIGIOUS TEACHERS FOREORDAINED TO CONDEMNATIONQuote:E-27 Some men was foreordained to that condemnation. The Bible said so--can't be saved, blinded from the beginning, born to be blind. We'll get that this next week. That didn't go very good, but I will prove to you by the Scriptures; it's the truth. And they'll absolutely be religious teachers, fundamental as they can be. That's exactly right." (Pillar of fire 53-0509).To crown that off to you, Jesus saw them two thousand years ago. The apostles asked Him, "What is the sign of your coming?" He said, "Beware of false Prophets, for many shall come in my name saying that I am Christ." Jesus showed that when He gets ready to come in the end time, there will be men specially born as false prophets. We could not have these false christs and false prophets before the opening of the seals, in its right scriptural fulfilment. They had to wait for the opening of the seals, which has to do with the coming of the Lord, in order to impersonate that coming. You see, they wanted certain nuggets and they wanted certain clues, in order to be deceptive. So now, they waited until that time and until they got these clues. The best clues to impersonate the coming of the Lord and different doctrines and so on, is the opening of the seals. The 7th seal/7 thunders became a stronghold for such men, since it was not revealed by Brother Branham in 1963. They freely injected their heresies into the seals.7 THUNDERS - GROUNDS FOR DEVIL’S DECEPTIONLet me be sure that everybody understands that. Now, these devils could not appear until that certain time of the seals, and the reason for that is that these false anointed ones waited and could not go into action until they catch certain things from the seals book. And since the seventh seal/seven thunders was left unopened, without enough knowledge, and the prophet went home, it became a perfect ground for these devils to work, to inject their interpretations right into the seventh seal and the seven thunders, even because it was left unopened. God purposely left it unopened in order to make manifest these false prophets. On the other hand it was being opened in secret somewhere else, and it was getting a certain people ready that when false prophets manifest themselves the Lord will break the seventh seal and seven thunders in public and expose all of them. The only thing to expose these false prophets and false christs, and expose the two hundred million demons on the earth right today, is the true revelation of the opening of the seventh seal, and it is coming into public very soon. It is coming in public as promised.But the Lord allowed them all this time to manifest all their interpretations, all their heresies, all their wicked devices, all their demon power, all their lack of God’s power. All the time they had been working since the prophet of God went his way. They injected interpretations on the seventh seal and seven thunders. Yes! Right on that spot. But on the other hand, the seventh seal was being opened in secret somewhere in New England, because the angel who held the seventh seal flew eastward, and that angel was at the head of the pyramid holding the revelation of the seventh seal. According to the dream, there was a great, big rock in the east; eastern United States. There was a great, big rock, and there was a chain linked fence running straightXLVI
down to the tabernacle where the message of God was preached by William Branham. Showing you that the Word of the Lord, that was line upon line, precept upon precept, was hooked up to a great big rock in the east. I certainly believe that rock is the rock revelation of Jesus Christ, and “upon this rock shall I build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Well, it has to be somewhere, and it may as well be here. Yes, it has to be somewhere. And the chain linked fence was running from the west to the east. Yes!So what I am trying to bring to your mind today, is that all the seven thunders heresies and all the seventh seal heresies that went worldwide, never happened by chance. No! It was those demons that were loosed from the Euphrates River to possess all these false christs and false prophets. They had more than forty years to go out and manifest themselves. But soon there will be an outpouring of the Holy Spirit and soon there will break a revival in New England that will go out and expose all those heresies around the world, and even now they are getting a taste of that exposition by E.O.D.H. Oh yes! The hour is upon us.Quote W.M.B.: E-3 Then Wednesday night we expect to have a great climax in the service, and praying that sometime along this way, that something will happen to the people that'll set their hearts afire for God, that an old fashioned revival will break out in New England. It's tried on the west coast; it's tried in the middle east, tried in the south, but seemingly that this is our last place to try: New England. Here's where our forefathers landed for this freedom of religion on Plymouth Rock. It is from these sacred soils here that praying men and women went forth to establish this great spiritual economy that we are privileged to serve today. No American could be ashamed of their forefathers who landed in this country, went to church packing guns, who came here for freedom of religion, went on horseback, covered in old wagons, fought the Indians and so forth, to get to go to church. Those bloods bathed this soil. If we'll be sincere and believe in the God that they believed in and serve Him with the same reverence that they served Him with, we'll see a revival again. And I believe it will start in New England. God's willing to do it if we're willing to carry it. (Tested Faith Produces Goods 58-0518).So there were men born unto condemnation to pervert the seventh seal/seven thunders, and we know them by name. And they have filled U.S.A, Africa, India and have filled the rest of the world with their cultish teachings and their heresies. But if you notice, for a little while now, you don’t hear about them very much. Everything is dying down and all the emotionalism has burnt out. It is about time that the Lord bring the seven thunders from its secret place, and send it across the world and expose all these false prophets. He is going to drive them off the trail just like Brother Branham said, “You are not ordained to ride this trail. Get off this trail!” He will do it by another apostolic church by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Yes! I believe that. It would not be a one man invasion.IF SATAN SHOULD GET A HOLD OF IT, HE MIGHT DO GREAT DAMAGE. SATAN WILL TRY TO IMPERSONATEQuote: "This is why there was no activity in heaven; it might give away the secret... If Satan should get a hold of it, he might do great damage. There's one thing he don't know. Now, he can interpret anything he wants to, and impersonate any kind of a gift, but he can't know this. It's not even written in the Word. It's a total secret... Remember, Satan will try to impersonate...There'll be no mimics to this (See?), 'cause he don't know it. There's no way for him to know it. It's the third pull. He just knows nothing about it. See? He doesn't understand it...)...but there's a secret lays beneath that... Now I know the next step there, but I don't know how to interpret that...I've got wrote down here when it happened,... "STOP! Go no further than this right here." ...you remember, the little shoe that I always tried to explain... which it only made a big bunch of impersonations start after it...And now, if this tape would happen to fall into the hands of some persons somewhere, don't try to make any kind of an "ism" out of it. (The seventh seal 24/3/63).FALSE ANOINTED ONE WAITED FOR 7TH SEAL CLUES XLVII
So now, these devils were waiting right there. The prophet knew that false anointed ones were waiting right in the tabernacle, gathered from around the country and around the world, waiting to catch certain secrets from the opening of the seals, so he kept that seventh seal secret. What he knew, he let out a little bit of it. They were silent for ten years. They did not get the clue of what was happening, but the seventh seal was the coming of the Lord.Now, let me show you that impersonation. Since the seventh seal is the coming of the Lord, and ten years after they caught on to that little clue. We have men rising up and saying that they are the coming of the Lord. Mr. Santiago said he is “the covenant angel and he is the coming of the Lord.” Do you see why? These spirits are trying to impersonate the coming of the Lord. That is why some of them claim to be Michael, some claim to be Gabriel. Like one question I had to answer recently, where a preacher claimed to be Gabriel. Well, I only answered that generally and I said, “If he is Gabriel, then he is really out of place. It is a ministry of the past because Gabriel foreran the coming of the Lord and he was with Brother Branham. So he is living in the past. Yes, you missed the boat a long time ago. Gabriel introduced the coming of the Lord but Michael is the coming of the Lord. Yes, so you are short of a length. So you better give up that ministry of Gabriel and start following Michael. And don’t pretend that you are Michael at all. You will get the sharp edge of the sword. You should leave that kind of nonsense and foolishness for people who sat here in New England for all those years and heard all those revelations, who sat in the presence of God. You should leave it for these men here to rise up and claim that they are something. But none of them is rising up and saying that they are anything at all. Down to our pastor here at G.C.C. He said that he is just trying to keep the flock, and the other ministers here don’t claim to be anything.Shame on you, who have now heard a little bit of this revelation and pretend that you are Gabriel and you are Michael, and you are Christ, and you are God manifested in human flesh. You are anointed of the devil! Yes! Men have humbled themselves since 1967, following the Word of God, and have not assumed any such nonsense! So now, these devils have gone out with a great impersonation of the seventh seal and the seven thunders, and this is for a great reason.Now, Satan is afraid of the opening of the seals. That is why he is working this strategy. So now, he focused the most powerful demons around the opening of the seals. Notice that most heresies are built around the seals, and moreso the seventh seal/seven thunders.THE ARMIES OF ANGELSSatan is afraid of the opening of the seals because he knows that it exposed him and will bring the coming of the Lord and the rapture. He is worried about the opening of the seals, because the seals have the weapon to destroy him. It will open the people's eyes and show the people the Lord Jesus Christ. Yes. So he's worried about that.The Lord's greatest enemies; the greatest false prophets; the greatest so-called christs that you could ever find is around the opening of the seals. Anybody who is perverting the seals' message is the worst antichrist on earth, and they have the most powerful demons on them. Yes! Head-demons from the Euphrates are working with them to pervert the revelation of the seals, in order to stop the Bride from going in the rapture. Don't you know that if the devil can pervert the seals and change the revelation of the seals, he can keep the Bride earthbound?So now, these men that were born upon the face of the earth, in this age, they have a certain work to do. Their work is to pervert the message of Brother Branham, to pervert the opening of the seals itself, and to badly damage the seventh seal before it is even revealed; to make interpretations around the world concerning the seventh seal, because that seventh seal holds the coming of the Lord.These men were ordained to start preaching a revelation about the coming of the Lord, but a wrong revelation, and have the people following them in the deserts, and the secret places, and following some man asXLVIII
an eighth messenger to deceive the people before the seventh seal is broken to the public. Heresies and misinterpretations were brought up by these false anointed ones born for that purpose to try to deceive the Bride in the end time.Brother Branham's revelation is that demons were bound up in the Euphrates River and were loosed. They have four leading angels that are going to lead an army of fallen angels; these angels are typified as horsemen. They are not heavenly angels. They are angels of destruction.Now, the army of angels that were loosed at the seals had a captain. Their captain is Lucifer. So now, these demons are fallen angels that followed Lucifer at the time that he was cast out of heaven. So now, if the Lord doesn't bind these demons at certain times, they would completely destroy mankind from the face of the earth. So now, whenever He has to bring punishment upon mankind for the rejection of the Word of God, the Lord looses them, and they go and bring judgment upon mankind.Brother Branham said that these demons were loosed in the political realm, against Israel, and they came upon Hitler, Mussolini and all those dictators. If you want to know the kind of tribulation that is coming, look back and see when these same spirits were loosed in the political realm, how they persecuted natural Israel. You'll get an idea about the tribulation.These demons are demons to torment men who miss the rapture. These same demons that we are talking about now, will manifest themselves in persecution to the foolish virgins. They are tormenters. The prophet called them “tormenters; demon tormenters.” The same way they got into the dictators over there and persecuted the Jews, brethren, it is going to be worse with the foolish virgins. It is a terrible thing that is coming Let us get out of here.So now, these demons got upon all those dictators. They were not born here by chance. The Lord said of Pharaoh:"And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth." (Exodus 9:16).The Lord raises up certain men, certain dictators. There is an appointed time for them to sit upon the throne. They work in the plan of the almighty. These men were born by the will of the almighty. They came from hell and they went back to hell, just like Judas.Now, in order for these people to become so godless, wicked and shameless, they must be anointed. Those demons that were bound in the Euphrates River were loosed in the spiritual realm, to anoint those preachers, evangelists and the people who rejected Brother Branham's message. Those spirits are upon the people now.What we are up against in so-called Pentecost and the peoples of the world, are these fallen angels that were loosed from the Euphrates River. That is what the people who follow the message are up against. They play with visions, play with dreams, play with sensations, play with prophecies, and they play with all these things; and from the time you do that, and you misinterpret the Word of God, those demons jump right down inside of you; they are powerful demons. I have never seen a man who claimed to be Christ, God or the Son of Man, ever delivered from those spirits. I'm afraid of those spirits. I don't go near them. I don't tolerate them. I don't accept their thoughts and ideas. They are antichrist spirits.BEDDING GROUND FOR DEMON-POSSESSIONLet us humble our hearts children. From the time we start thinking that we are somebody great and some this and that, friends, that's the bedding ground for those spirits. Oh, I hope you understand what I am saying, friends, that when the message was rejected, those demons were loosed in the spiritual realm. When they were loosed in the spiritual realm, upon organizations, those same spirits came here to combat the opening of the seals; to pervert the opening of the seals. If they could succeed in perverting the opening of the seals, they could keep the Bride earthbound. But the Bride is predestinated to have the victory. Now, that is the strategy of the enemy.XLIX
REDEMPTION - SATAN MEDDLES WITH THUNDERSNow friends, the strategy of the enemy; why he has all these demons and false prophets meddling with the seventh seal and seven thunders, he knows that the secret of redemption, the secret of the rapture, the secret of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit are in the seals. Now, if he could meddle with that and pervert the revelation of the seals, then he could keep the Bride earthbound, because what is going to give the Bride translation power is the seven thunders and the seventh seal. Oh my, do you see his strategy? His strategy is a very smart one. There is no way for you to be translated and go in the rapture outside of you receiving the true revelation of the seven thunders when it breaks forth to the public. Satan knows that more than many. So now, he focused all his great demons to come and pervert the Word of God and give the people a false revelation of the seven thunders. Now, if he could make the people swallow a false revelation of the thunders and sit down and wait for the rapture, then the rapture will never come for them. Now, if the rapture never comes for the people, then Satan would not go down to the bottomless pit, because he only goes to the bottomless pit after the rapture. He is a smart creature and he is positive that he will prevail. He is positive that he will get through with that great plan.Now, he is a stupid fellow, on the other hand. Yes! Because one time he got into a delusion in heaven, and he was positive that he could have overthrown Michael, and he was positive that he could have sit on the throne of almighty God and cause God to be cast down from heaven. I am saying that Lucifer is a stupid fellow. Yes! And that is the same stupidity that he is trying to do. Here he thinks that he could keep this Bride earthbound. But the Lord held the seventh seal secret and he never gave it out and he hid it somewhere in secret to later bring that out to the public. So God is smarter than this devil.Around the time of the loosing of these demons of insanity, there were certain men, religious men, ungodly men, with a certain bedding ground, who were predestinated and foreordained to be upon the face of the earth, as vessels of dishonour, to house these demons of insanity, which would bring into fulfilment Matthew 24: 24; “False christs and false prophets.” Men who are like Ahab, who sold themselves to do spiritual wickedness. Religiously ambitious men, who desired to have the pre-eminence over the people of God. Jealous men, who could not bear to see a humble prophet of God and other humble servants of God used of God in a greater capacity than them. Men who were not satisfied with their positions in the Kingdom and economy of God, Jealous like Lucifer, over the position God gave Michael in heaven. Men who wanted to excel over the servants of God. And with such evil bedding ground, when those demons that were loosed passed by and offered them a ministry, they opened up their hearts and grabbed ahold of it with both hands, and those demons jumped into them and devil-possessed them. Since that time they got promotion from being evangelists, pastors, teachers and even lay members. Men started claiming to be prophets, like “Prophet Cerullo” and “Prophet Kenneth Hagan”; and apostles, (like Mr. Gan and Mr. Jackson) and son of man, Revelation 10: 1, the dove-led eagle, Michael the archangel and Christ – God veiled in human flesh; like Mr. Santiago from Puerto Rico, Like Mr. Lawrie of India, Like Mr. Massoc from Cameroon, Africa, like Mr. Vin Dayal of Trinidad, Mr. Teddy of Yugoslavia, and other popular heretics. Satan was not doing that without a reason. No, he had a plan and an evil purpose and intention.All these "eighth messengers" around the world, all those preachers who preach that all is over, all those preachers who say that the Millennium started, and the Rapture started, all these people who pervert Brother Branham's Message, in whatever form, and have their own opinion and own idea, they are under the influence of fallen angels. Believe this little preacher, friends. I met many of them throughout the years, and they don't realize that is just not their thinking, but they opened up to certain spirits, and they anoint them, and they get literally demon possessed.They had pillars of fire! They had a forty letter secret-word, that when they spoke it, they put brethren in pains and agony. Yes! And I had them right in my little prayer room on these grounds, and they tried to use that Hebrew word against me, and instead of harming me, they fell and started twisting around under that demonL
power. And I, not realizing what they were trying to do, said, "You have got the devil inside of you. Repent!” Friends, we are living in a terrible time.Angels were released from the spiritual realm, and angels were also released from the demonic realm. Now, that is to form your armies. That is going to bring us to Revelation: 19. Both forces are working there together. So all these spirits here today, bringing up these heresies, are working in the religious realm. They are worried about the opening of the seals, because it exposed their plans and strategies. They are around this message. Now, the great, great, great, great powers of the devil; his generals are around the message today, since 1963, and they are out to further pervert the seals. Their mission was to pervert the seals, to try to hold the Bride here. If she could miss that revelation, or be given a perverted revelation, then she cannot go in the rapture. Any sincere hearted man will understand that all these heresies around the message, all these perversions, and all these misinterpretations of Brother Branham's message are these millions of horsemen, now riding in the message, of the hour. They have changed every single doctrine of the prophet. And you read Romans 1 and see why those spirits were loosed. God is a just and unchanging God, and that happened because they rejected William Branham.SATAN’S MASTER PLAN TO ESCAPE LAKE OF FIRESatan had a master plan (as in Eden with first Eve, and as in the early church with second Eve) to try to stop this end time redemption. If Satan could succeed in stopping the hand of God in redeeming His end time Bride, then he would not have to go to a lake of fire and be destroyed.He would use these men; these false anointed ones, as false teachers, and send them under the message of the prophet, in order to pervert the plan of redemption, loosed by the seals. If he succeeds in his mischievous plan, he would be successful in stopping the resurrection and the rapture of the end time Bride.Satan was going to apply his first principle of deception as he did in Eden and in the early church under the white horse rider. He was going to come in as a friend, a pretended believer of the message. He was going to transform himself again into an angel of the light or message of the age; not any simple light, but the greatest light that ever came to mankind in six thousand years, that was locked up in the seals book from before the foundation of the world. And when he convinces you that he is a message believer, he would subtly twist the message. If the devil could succeed in twisting, changing and perverting the true plan of redemption from the seals, get an ambitious preacher, a false anointed one, to propagate and preach that, and get you to believe it, he has you in his bag, and has succeeded in deceiving you, end time Eve. If Satan by his master plan could get the Bride to accept a counterfeit son of man, counterfeit prophet, counterfeit redeemer, and counterfeit seventh seal/seven thunders, he succeeds in deceiving the end time Eve and in turn stops her redemption.ALL 7 THUNDERS TO PUBLIC IS OF THE DEVILI am saying that everything that went out with a revelation on the seven thunders and seventh seal before the time and before it goes into public, is of the devil. Ye sir! And it is proven that it is of the devil. It went around the world, it busted up and what did it produce? It produced fornication, it produced adultery, it produce backslidings. It started from New York and headed straight down to Africa, it circled the globe and came back. Now they are sitting on a manure pile tonight. They were to go in the rapture since 1973 and another group since 1977, all by their thunders revelation. But meanwhile that they claim the thunders there, the Lord had the thunders somewhere in secret. I believe that. You say, “Who has it?” Time will tell. You say, “Who had it? Where is it?” You are too inquisitive. It is a secret, and the Lord will bring that out in time. He will bring that out in time. Yes! If the Lord wanted to say that, He would have taken a microphone and broadcasted it through the world. But the prophet said, “This is all that I could say about this”, and he said, notLI
me; he said that when it starts it will start in secret somewhere, and then it will be broken to the public. I believe that. I believe that it is in secret somewhere and it will be broken to the public.SATAN’S MASTER PLAN - ATTACK 7TH SEALSo now, these demons that were loosed, they are around the seals, they are around this message. People don’t know what is happening. This is Satan’s master plan. Satan’s master plan was to attack the unopened seventh seal. His master plan was to attack the seven thunders to give the people a revelation of the seven thunders that could not rapture them. Yes! And if the Bride never goes in the rapture, he will be a safe devil, his demons would not be cast into the bottomless pit with him, he could make up time for it. So he thinks that he would really succeed with that. And since the opening of the seals the Lord gave him about a generation of time and more to try to pervert something that he knows nothing about.That is how those Seals relate to false christs in the end time; Matthew 24:24. The Opening of the Seals was to bring again Christ to the Bride. The seventh seal is where His coming is. In order to confuse the Bride of Christ, that they do not get a revelation of Christ, the Word, the son of man, Satan loosed false christs, by the tens of thousands; to cause the people to pick out the wrong ministry. Now we have climbed up to the heights of the revelation.They were asking Jesus, "What shall be the sign of thy coming?" He said, "Take heed that no man deceive you..." That's one of the sign of His coming. "For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many." "Believe them not." And he said, "If they shall say behold He's in the secret chamber, don't go down there. If they say He's in the desert place, don't go there." He said, "I will tell you how I am coming. I am coming as lighting from the East and it will shine unto the West."So these false anointed ones could not appear until the seals were opened. First of all, the seals had to be opened, and the very purpose of the seals was to introduce the coming of the Lord and to prepare the Bride for the opening of seventh seal and the coming of the Lord. So now, in that interval, these demons were loosed but were already since the days of Hitler, in the political realm. Now they are loose in the religious realm.Now, Satan knows that event of the seals. He knows what took place. So immediately, when the Devil got to find out what happened at the opening of the seals, he came out there and got his servants, imposters and anointed them each one with a ministry that they are an eighth angel, and they are Christ. You never heard of so many "prophets." The amount of "prophets" that we now have upon the earth, you cannot count them. Before that, people never claimed to be prophets. They even denied Brother Branham being a prophet. And the scripture they used was that John the Baptist was the last prophet. But soon after that, notice what happened when the messenger turned his back. All those evangelists became "prophets," and they are not ashamed to say that they are apostles, they are prophets, and they are all Christ, son of man, and even God. Now, that is not natural brethren.Those demons from the Euphrates River just came and possessed these preachers. Ninety-nine percent of the preachers in the world are demon-possessed, by fallen angels, since the opening of the seals. Yes! They were once anointed by the Spirit of God, and did many signs, many wonders and many miracles. But, what made these men so proud, what made them so wicked, what made them adulterers, fornicators and homosexuals behind the pulpit, are those same demons that were loosed from the Euphrates River, that have now possessed them.Now friends, those same spirits from the organizational realm, have now visited the preachers in the message, and made them "eighth messengers," made them "prophets," made them adulterers, fornicators, liars and thieves.THIS LAST DAY MINISTRY-THE SAME INVASION OF FALSE AND WICKED SPIRITSLII
Quote: 70-2 "In Luther's day it is said that the miracle of his ministry did not lie in the fact that he successfully protested the Roman Catholic Church, but the miracle lay in the fact he could, and did, stay sound and sane amidst the fanatics who were often filled with, and guided by, wrong spirits. And if you have been aware of this last day ministry, you will have noted the same invasion of false and wicked spirits. It has to be that way. I hope and trust you are spiritual minded enough to get that, and capitalize on it." (Church age Book).IMPERSONATORS CAUGHT-ON TO MINISTRY AFTER W.M.B.So you have false anointed ones rising up, and they gradually caught-on to what happened at the opening of the seals, that there is a heavenly Angel, and there is an earthly angel. Those are the same spirits from the Euphrates. Soon after they started talking about Revelation 10:1. They don't know anything about Revelation 10:1. They are a bunch of unbelievers and a bunch of impersonators that hate the true revelation of God. If they knew anything about Revelation 10:1, they would be seated here today, because we will be following one Captain.So his servants caught-on to some clues, and these clues that they caught on to, they went about thinking that they had the seventh seal/seven thunders, and Satan thinks by this master plan that he will escape the fires of God. So he sent his servants-false anointed ones and false prophets to impersonate the message, to come in as ministers of the message, as believers of this message, right amongst the children of God who accepted Brother Branham and accepted the message, worldwide. We have men just like Jude said, who crept into the message. Men have crept in unawares, ordained unto condemnation. But these are not just men. These people are possessed by those devils that were loosed from the Euphrates River. Yes friends, when those men came into the message, worldwide, the poor people could not recognize who they were. No! They came in as ministers of the message. They came in as believers of the message, but these men were born unto condemnation. These men were born to pervert the seals, so they came in the name of the message. And another thing is that they came in the name of the seven thunders, and coming in the name of the seven thunders, it woke up the people, gave them something new, and gave them something that would tickle them. They came into the assemblies, and almost every assembly around the world today is saying something about the thunders. These demons moved right under the message, and after moving under the message, they tried to figure out that son of man revelation. In trying to figure out that son of man revelation, they made it "Parousia." And then a little while after, they came a little higher, and they made it “son of man.” They made it that Jesus, the physical man, is now on earth. So there are a lot of "Jesuses" around the world. They say, "Christ came, and this is Jesus." So they have a man right down here in Puerto Rico, he's Spanish speaking, so they claimed that's the unknown language of the 7 thunders, and they say that he is the incarnated Christ. That is William Soto Santiago. "He's the incarnated Christ. He is the covenant angel. He is Revelation 10:1. He is the second coming of the Lord." He arose after 1973. That revelation was so hid, that it took Satan ten years to get a drop from the great ocean of revelation.They think that they have the revelation of the seven thunders. They have a revelation of the horsemen, a revelation of those two hundred million devils, have a revelation from the false prophets, have a revelation of false christs. That is what they have. Isn’t it terrible? Now, this is what the prophet saw behind ten-inch thick iron bars. But there is coming an hour of deliverance, because it would come by the seven thunders. The true seven thunders will come out of its secret place like David came out and brought forth that revelation to slay the Goliath.So now, they got bright and they are moving closer to the son of man revelation, but that revelation is given by the Father. The heavenly Father must reveal it to you (Matthew 16). But they tried to figure it out with their heads and they made all kinds of antichrist doctrines, around the world. Don't forget that when a man goes out with a doctrine, he deceives his church, and if he is an evangelist he goes out and deceives tens of thousands of people. So right now, around Africa, around India, and around the world, we have all kinds ofLIII
false christs. We came in contact with many false christs. Men are not ashamed to tell you that they are God incarnated in human flesh. I got a man and put him up right here. He claimed to be Michael the archangel. [Congregation says, "Amen!"] I said, okay, let's hear your doctrine. I sat right there and this man came up, demon possessed as could be, and gave all his doctrines of how he is Michael the archangel and everything like that, and then we exposed him.Now, the best thing that could have happened to that poor fellow is that he backslid and went into the world. Now, if you backslide after you get that kind of thinking, it could help you, because you will go out and commit sin, become a marijuana smoker and adulterer, and the Lord might have mercy and convict you and let you know that you are a sinner and not God. But if you continue in the religious realm, you will go deeper and deeper and deeper. That is not the natural thinking of man. How on earth can I conceive that I am God? Why, I am the dust and the ashes of the earth. A man has to be proud; you talk about proud, you talk about intellectualism, you talk about satanic, you talk about a man thinking highly of himself. How on earth a man can ever think that? And they are not ashamed to tell you that.It started as a doctrine that the Blood is off the mercy seat. Then it travelled down. It is moving closer to the true revelation, and it came down now to "parousia;" just the presence, no physical coming. And then now it comes to God incarnated in human flesh. All these messengers now claim that they are God incarnated in human flesh. A few miles from Bethel is the “Ephesians church”, they call it; a man claims to be Revelation 10:1; the Word made flesh. He holds the sheep under fear of judgement if they leave. A proud and arrogant spirit is on that preacher.Now, why is it that they think that way and preach that way? They do not have a revelation of the son of man. The heavenly Father has not revealed to them what took place at the seals. So they have to use their heads. It will always mislead them. The wisdom of this world will always mislead you. This is what we have sitting around the message in every country and in most of the assemblies; the people of God are deceived by one of these false anointed ones in the message. That is why Brother Branham preached false anointed ones soon after he preached the seals. He knew what happened, and he said that these false anointed ones had to follow the opening of the seals.OPENING OF SEALS - JANNES & JAMBRES APPEAR AGAIN TO IMPERSONATE ITQuote: 262 "The Third Pull was the opening of them Seven Seals to reveal the hidden Truth that's been sealed in the Word. Do you see it? It is then, in that day when this thing is to take place that Jannes and Jambres, the impersonators, will appear again, just like they did when Moses appeared with the original Word to say it; they appear to impersonate it. Just exactly right. Now, you see what Matthew 24:24 is? See? Anointed ones." (Anointed Ones At End Time 65-0725m).Do you see these demons that were also loosed around the time of the opening of the seals, which are insanity spirits? Two hundred million demons from the Euphrates River were loosed; and that was to bring insanity in the religious realm.People came into the message, they heard the opening of the seals and these spirits started anointing them, if they were ambitious, if they had a superiority complex. If they came to that place where they always wanted to excel and be better than their neighbour and better than their brothers, such men have perfect grounds for those demons to come in. They will say, "I will show you that I will get brighter than the preacher that I sit under. I will show you that I could get brighter than the prophet that even brought that message." He wants to excel. Get away from that kind of ambition. If that is in you, that's a bedding ground for insanity! That's the bedding ground for demon possession. That is how people get insane; that is how people make doctrines; that is how people make interpretations; that is how they build assemblies, and that is how they deceive people by the thousands and by the millions! It starts from one man's pride, where he just reads the Bible and gets an idea in his head, and begins to think that he was born for a special purpose upon this earth, and then he passes it on to his wife, and passes it on to his children, passes it on to his neighbour, and he gets a little congregation of ten people following and then a hundred, then a thousand, then a half a million, and the people win so muchLIV
confidence in him as a servant of God. Then one day, he comes and says, "Let us drink poison." That was Jim Jones, right in Guyana here. Over eight hundred people perished.Now, that is how those insanity spirits work. It starts from a human being. These things are not natural; these are demons; that man actually believes he is sent of God; he hears a voice; he feels a certain power come over him; he sees a light. Something speaks to the man and says, "Go my servant and do such and such and such." Insanity spirits are loosed. You've got to be careful of every voice that speaks to you, every vision that you see, every dream that you dream, and every sensation, friend. That is why God gave you a shepherd. You don't know this way. Take these supernatural things and run to your shepherd with it. Find out if that is of God. Give it the Word test.Just as certain as that ministry was loosed at the opening of the Seals with Angels, there was also fallen angels that came to the earth. And that is what we are finding today in the name of assemblies, and the message.THUNDERS TO PUBLIC BY OUTPOURINGSatan’s master plan is that he uses these false anointed ones, but these false anointed ones are directly influenced by these two hundred million demons upon the earth, and their great ambition is to come and try to deceive the Bride and give her a false revelation of the seventh seal and seven thunders. And if she takes that and sit there as the people today, around the world, who are sitting with such heresies, sitting with such perversions, waiting for the rapture, she misses the rapture. But notice what that false revelation is doing to them. It is taking them down to Sodom. They are back before the television, look at everything on the internet, they are on the sports field, the women pulled up their dresses, they have tight mermaid dresses, pulled down their necklines to show their breasts, their preachers are falling in adultery everywhere by the thousands, even because they are dominated by unclean spirits.Those spirits from the Euphrates River are actually spirits of Sodom and Gomorrah, spirits from the days of Noah. That is why it corrupted when they claimed to have the thunders. They fell into immorality, they fell into sin and the preachers fell in adultery. Yes! When you find the people of God and the true children of God, they will be living the Word and they will be honouring the holiness message of Brother Branham.Anything that says that they have a revelation and is living in adultery and fornication and not keeping the Word of God, that is not the Spirit of God. No sir! That revelation will produce a better life. So that was Satan’s master plan, and his master plan would not work for the end time Bride. There will be the revelation of the genuine seven thunders, and it would be broken to the public. It will never be broken to the public until another outpouring of the Holy Spirit comes, because that seventh seal is the coming of the Lord. That will be the last ministry upon the face of the earth to prepare the Bride for the rapture.I will now lay a foundation for some experiences that I am about to relate, that we the church at Bethel the House of God, have experienced. Living examples of men who came in contact with this message, who were religiously ambitious, and became possessed by these demons that were loosed from the Euphrates River.In the following messages I will bring living examples of men who were used as false prophets and false christs, and how bold they speak and say who they are: “They are God manifested in human flesh, they are Michael, they are the psalmist David, son of man” and all kinds of claims. You would see some examples of what we have personally experienced at G.C.C., at Bethel and at other places, and now we are broadcasting these things, putting them together to warn the rest of the people who follow this message, warn the people who received these E.O.D.H. messages, the books and the tapes to humble their pride. Humble yourself, you are a nobody. You will end up like those who I am going to speak about. Amen.BETHEL AND G.C.C. EXPERIENCES – FALSE PROPHETSLV
False prophets are one of the greatest curses to the world and its inhabitants. Their destructive powers can never be overestimated, as they are Satan’s instruments of his diabolical deceiving powers which damned generations of souls, entire nations and families unto hell and the lake of fire. They are heartless spiritual criminals and weapons of mass destruction in the hand of the devil.“Beware of false prophets which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening (hungry) wolves”, warned our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ. Thus, all who love their souls and would escape the damnation of Hell and the Lake of Fire must be spiritually conscious and alert to the warnings of our Lord of such satanic motivated creatures in the form of men to arise in the last days, just before the coming of Christ.The existence of false prophets, worldwide, is a major sign of the second coming of Christ. We, the last generation, are presently witnessing the undeniable and irrefutable fulfillment of Bible prophecies which foretold of these false prophets who have arisen in this age of dark spiritual bondage, and out of midnight blackness and darkness of demonic activities can be heard the whips of Pharaoh’s taskmasters at work upon the backs of God’s children who cry for their deliverance. There is a God who yet reigneth in the kingdom of men and He is touched by the afflictions, sorrows and cries of the children of Abraham. He has come down to deliver His people out of spiritual Egypt and religious bondage, whom false prophets have successfully enslaved.God’s children should not be misled by using the satanic works of Jim Jones, David Koresh and others, as the standard of identification of all false prophets, for those men were Satan’s smokescreen for his many false prophets with greater diabolical, deceiving power to take cover.LIVING EXAMPLE OF A FALSE PROPHETThe world is filled with false prophets; and I make no apology to call some names here, because of the subject that I am speaking on. We have renowned false prophets that have already deceived many, as the Lord said. Now, right now, the Pope is in the office of “false prophet”; he is not yet the beast, but he will become the beast. That pope who is to sit upon the throne just before the rapture takes place, to persecute the little Bride, will become the beast; that means the Devil incarnated in human flesh. And one of the major false prophets on the earth is the Pope.And if you would notice him, we could get a wonderful example of the operation of a false prophet. Just study the words of that man, the appearance of that man, just everything about him. His personality, his flattering speeches, his innocent look, the detrimental doctrine that he carries, and the murderer that he is. When we say, “the pope”, we don’t necessarily speak of the human flesh that is seated there upon the Vatican’s throne; we speak of the Devil and the office of the Pope. We are speaking of all the popes that ever sat upon that throne. They were everyone murderers and adulterers and fornicators.In public, this false prophet will give the appearance that he is an angel. A false prophet is loved by the world, and the world loves a false prophet who would take their money and damn their souls to Hell; but hates God’s prophet.So now, I have already explained to you, in a few words, what a false prophet is, because we have a living example of what a false prophet is. Study the life of that pope, the way that he is accepted, the influence that he has upon the nations, his flattering speeches, his very personality and everything about that pope. A friend of the kings and governors.Jesus made mention of that. He said, those false prophets are in kings’ houses. And those things in themselves, give us a general idea of the operation of a false prophet; that is how he appears to the world. To the people of God, the way that a false prophet is recognized is by him contradicting the Word of God, taking the place of God, and claiming an office that he does not hold. The Pope claims to be infallible. He claims to be seated in the seat of Christ, and right now reigning in the millennium.LVI
RECOGNIZED FALSE PROPHETS OF THE WORLDNow, besides the Pope, there are many false prophets upon the face of the earth, and as I said; I make no apology; and whatever I’m going to say, I’m not afraid to meet it on the Day of Judgment, because the Word declares it.Galatians 1:8 <... though we, or an angel come from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.>And I’m not afraid to say, “Let the Pope be accursed, and let every man who contradicts the Bible, and preaches contrary to this Bible, let them be accursed.”And, some of the major false prophets today are men like: Oral Roberts. He is a lying false prophet. “How do you know that preacher?” Because he heard Truth, and heard God’s prophet and refused to walk in that Light.Any prophet that is sent of God will recognize the words of another prophet, and the message of another prophet, and walk in that Light. That is why forty writers wrote this Bible and they never contradicted each other, but accepted what was in the Word of God, because they had the same Spirit.Billy Graham is a renowned false prophet. He has the second highest qualification after the pope in the Catholic doctrine. And many of the modern evangelists who sat and heard William Branham, and turned down that Word of God, because of popularity and money, have made themselves false prophets.Herbert W. Armstrong and Garner Ted Armstrong are two of the world’s most famous false prophets who have deceived many people today, and the world loves them and gives them a hearing. There are many false prophets. Morris Cerullo; I declare him to be a false prophet, upon the basis of the Word of God and I make no apology. “Why preacher?” He condones women preaching; the scripture condemns that. And Brother Paul said, “If any man thinks himself to be a spiritual or a prophet, let him acknowledge the things that Iwrite unto you are the commandments of the Lord.” Cerullo does not acknowledge that Brother Paul spoke the commandments of the Lord and he allows women to preach. That is only one point. What about the hundreds of others? And the modern evangelists today have changed their offices from evangelists to prophets, and they are all false prophets; T. L. Osborne just the same. A. A. Allen died a false prophet and an alcoholic.All these men heard the prophet of the Seventh Church Age and turned down Life. There was only one true prophet that God sent in the Seventh Church Age, and that was William Branham, anointed by the Spirit of Elijah. And the scripture says, “...when he begins to sound.” It was a man and it’s going to be one person. When Elijah “the prophet” came; Malachi 4: 5-6, he was one prophet; not many prophets.Now, that Seventh Church Age is different from this Bride Age that we are living in. And in that Seventh Church Age, when that prophet of God came and broadcasted his message, every gift that came from heaven, that came in contact with that prophet’s message, and was ordained of God, would recognize that prophetic gift, and bow down to that prophetic gift and the message that God sent. And everything that was not of God, and was false was going to rally around for some time to make some money, and then come against it. Now, that declares them to be false prophets.When a man would sit and hear Truth; like: Cerullo, Billy Graham, Gordon Lindsay, David Terrill, A. A. Allen, Oral Roberts, T. L. Osborne, Tommy Hicks and all the famous evangelists who sat and heard William Branham, and saw the miracles and signs, and then turned around and called Brother Branham a false prophet, and allowed a woman to preach, and believe in three gods; and became millionaires, and built Bible schools, and organizations, no man, not even a lay member should be afraid to declare them as false prophets. They are all false prophets. “Preacher, I don’t get you. How could you criticize like that?” Because the Word criticizes.You say, “So, you want to tell me that only William Branham had the Truth in this Age, and nobody else had the Truth, though everybody is reading the same Bible?” You understood me just right. There was only one man who had the Truth today and he was William Branham. And there was only one man who had the Truth in the days of Noah and that was Noah; and the whole world was wrong, and the theologians were wrong, and every false prophet was wrong, and all the scientists were wrong and Noah alone was right. And the Bible said, “As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the coming of the son of man, even thus shall itLVII
be in the day when the son of man is revealed.” One prophet back there and one prophet up here today in the Seventh Church Age. Everybody who failed to hear Noah drowned, and they went to Hell, waiting for the judgments of almighty God and their souls are in Hell today. Is that right? [Congregation says, “Amen!”] And everybody who rejects the Message of William Branham, and turns that down, and would go out and live in sin and belong to an organization, and condone false doctrines, and turn down that Word of God, will end up in Hell the same way. Oh yes! You could think of that as narrow-mindedness but it is the truth. And that’s the pattern it took through all the Ages coming down the road.WHY FALSE PROPHETSAnd whenever God has to send a prophet upon the face of the earth; those false prophets always arrive first, to try to assume that office of the true prophet, in order that people might be confused, and not know who is the true prophet of God.So, when Brother Branham was in his ministry, all these false prophets started arising and saying that they are Elijah. Now, it gets so common about Elijah’s ministry and a prophetic ministry, that when you tell a man that God sent a prophet, he would say, “I am tired of hearing about prophets. I met a lot of them already and there is nothing to them.” The Devil caused the people not to find the true prophet of God by that strategy.Is it not strange that soon after the days of such false Elijahs, that many people now claim to be the Christ? [Congregation says, “Amen!”] Maybe, there is a revelation concerning that then. Maybe, the son of man was about to be revealed then.And Jesus said, “False Christs shall arise, and false prophets shall arise and shall deceive many.” And we heard a lot about prophets and prophets for about the past fifteen years; but now, everywhere you go, you could find a Jesus; everybody is “the Christ.”And, there was a man in India who arose and claimed to be the Christ. And right now, there are probably about forty or fifty “Christs” in Jerusalem. “Why are there so many “Christs?” Why are there so many “Christs” in Jerusalem? Because the Messiah is about to make Himself known to the Jews. Before Jesus came history says that there were about thirty nine persons who arose and claimed to be the Messiah; that is in order to cause confusion in the people’s minds.Yes sir, I went down to one of the islands and a young man was there with a shorts on; diving every morning; he had a long beard. So I saw my boys trying to convert him, and they were giving him the Gospel. I thought, I had better go across. So, I went across there and came to find out, lo and behold, that “Jesus” was living right on the hill for three days and I never knew it. So, he started talking, he said, “Listen to me, Jesus could be standing right here before you right now, and you don’t see Him. And Jesus was a black man.” I said, “That is true, I could be talking to Jesus right now and don’t know it, may the Lord help me to see Him.” And he started talking; opening up, he felt he was making a convert right away. Then I came to find out that he built his ministry upon a dream that he had. I said, “All dreams are not of God, some are of the Devil.” Oh, that closed the conversation. He said, “Right, right,” and he went up the hill. “Jesus” walked up the hill.That is how things have become that you could find a Jesus and find a “Christ” almost in every village. Now, something is on. Anytime the Devil brings an impersonation concerning a certain truth, there is a right revelation around that thing. And the Lord said when the time comes back like in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah; when you begin to see the long hair boys and the short hair girls, and you begin to see men acting like women, and you see these fornicators and adulterers upon the face of the earth, around that same time the son of man will be revealed.“What is that son of man revealed?” It’s a divine revelation. You have to find out what that is. I want to tell you, it is later than we think. Jesus is going to appear in the heavens one of these days for the Rapture. And when that Trumpet is blown in the Bride of Christ, the dead shall rise, and we shall all be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. And that Lord that we are going to meet in the air is the body of Jesus, but I want to tell you thatLVIII
Revelation 10: 1 is now standing upon the face of the earth, and that’s the son of man being revealed today.[Congregation says, “Amen!”]And because that ministry is going into effect today; all these false prophets have arisen, and all these false “Christs” are upon the earth, because, there is a true revelation concerning the son of man. Yes, it’s the truth. These false prophets must arise and these false “Christs” must arise. And that is to confuse the people’s minds, and get them so scared that when they hear about the son of man, it is common, and people begin to think, “Now that’s antichrist. I already heard it. I don’t want to hear that.” Now, but there is a revelation right there, and don’t matter how many false Christs the devil sends, don’t matter how many false prophets he sends, don’t matter how much he tries to confuse it; “...My sheep hear My voice, and a stranger they would not follow.” They cannot follow a strange prophet, and they cannot follow a strange Christ. The right Christ, and the right Messiah and the right prophet of God will have the voice of God today, and His voice is His Word. That is how you are going to know; you’re going to hear the voice of God.And if you’re a sheep whenever you hear that voice of God, you won’t be afraid to follow that preacher. [Congregation says, “No!”] No, your business won’t be more important than the voice of God; your wife won’t be more important, your house won’t be more important, your lands won’t be more important, you organization brothers and sisters. The most important thing to you would be Eternal Life. That is if you’re a sheep of God. But if you are not a sheep of God, when you hear that voice of God, you would have a lot of things to put before that voice of God.And that is what Oral Roberts, and Billy Graham and all the other preachers have done. They had more important businesses than receiving the Word of God and hearing the voice of God. And their businesses were to build a college, a hospital, become popular, go on television, and on the radio. Right now they are damned right behind their pulpits. Oh yes! Because they put their earthly possessions before almighty God, and the Lord never sent them to do that. Oral Roberts is a lost man, damned, and has blasphemed his way, preaching right behind the pulpit today, over the television and radio. There is no hope for Oral Roberts, or any of those false prophets who turned down William Branham, and made his ministry a matter of money-making and merchandise.“Preacher, how could you judge like that?” Because of the Word; because I know where I am standing, and because I know what I am telling you is the truth. I am not just speaking presumptuously. I speak by revelation, I speak by the Word of God, and I speak because the Seals Book is opened today.Yes sir, that is the place where those men are today, and I don’t believe that they were sent of God as the Father sent Jesus. They have no business out there trying to preach the Gospel: No David Terril! No Cerullo! No Oral Roberts! No Billy Graham! No T. L. Osborne! When a man could hear this Message and hang off on Cerullo, and hang off on David Terril, I want to tell you, something is wrong with that soul; something is definitely wrong with that soul! Yes sir! Oh yes!ONE WAY TO ESCAPE THE DEVIL’S DECEPTIONYou know another strange thing happened after the days of Brother Branham? There were many men who arose and claimed to be that man to follow Brother Branham. [Congregation says, “Yes!”] Do you know that was the work of the Devil? [Congregation says, “Yes!”] And David Terill is one of them, and I know many who arose and said that they are the one to follow Brother Branham. That’s the work of the Devil.There were two things that the opening of the Seals came to do, and they were: to expose the mystery of iniquity, all false prophets, and all false interpretations, and all false teachings; and the mystery of godliness was to show you the revelation of the son of man. Two major things the seals were opened for; to show you the mystery of the Devil and his deception, and to show you the mystery of godliness; God. Two great things!There is no escape from deception today, unless a man finds where the revelation of the seven seals is being preached. No escape from deception. The whole world is deceived presently. And there is only one way of escape and that is to hear a man that has a revelation that came from under the seven seals, because the earthLIX
is filled with false prophets, and false teachers, and false organizations. Wherever that revelation is being preached, a false prophet has no chance. Were it not for the opening of the Seals; every one of us would be deceived. How many were deceived before; let me see your hands? [Congregation lifts their hands.] Every one of us was deceived before, because we had not heard His voice. But the Seals were opened to expose two things, and they are the mystery of iniquity and the mystery of godliness. That is why we could stand up here, and expose the mystery of iniquity, and even call the very names of those men who are in the mystery of iniquity. Once it was a mystery, but now they are exposed by the Opening of the Seals. Once we felt that those men were great men of God, but now we know that they are no more than false prophets. Oh yes! Now, what did that? It was the opening of the Seals. Now, that is where we are sitting; we are sitting under the opening of the Seals; and the mystery of iniquity is being preached; and the mystery of godliness is being preached. So now, every night you come here, it adds up to two things: a revelation of the son of man and revelation concerning the Devil. And what the Lord is doing is exposing the Devil, and taking you away from the Devil and his deception, and showing you the Lord by His Word, and leading you to Him.Oh Yes! That is why throughout the years, those false prophets that passed this way, and sat under the revealed Word of God, had little or no chance. “Why?” Because, the revelation that was being preached was exposing those false prophets. And somebody might say, “Well preacher, how do you know to expose that fellow as a false prophet?” The Word! The Seals! And if a man is not doing that, he is not preaching the Word and he does not know anything about the opening of the Seals. Because, that is what the Seals were opened for; to expose false prophets and show you God’s servants. Oh yes! That’s the Truth.I want to say this: this revelation is so powerful and so sacred, that it was kept shut up for six thousand years, and even from the foundation of the world, and was only revealed today. It is a revelation that is dear to God’s heart and something very precious. It’s the plan and program of God for perfection. Then, this revelation from my experience, from my revelation, from the way that I understand; it demands reverence and respect from those who come in contact with it.RELIGIOUS AMBITIONSA person should not be living in fornication and adultery; lying, cussing, stealing, gambling, and carrying on in a ridiculous manner. It is irreverence to God’s revelation. He could be cut off immediately whilst he sits on his seat. Because of that, it demands respect, it demands reverence. Above all, it demands the right desires and pure motives and objectives after Eternal Life. A person who comes around that revelation must have one thing in his heart, one goal set before him and that is: Eternal Life and that only.He must not have an ambition to use this Revelation for the purpose of popularity, or to makemerchandise out of it, or to show what a great philosopher he is, or to show how knowledgeable he is.A man who comes around this Revelation, a woman who comes around this revelation, must be ableto shun great, religious ambitions of being famous with the truth. They should not be trying to approximate,the great modern and famous singers, or what they call gospel singers. They are not of God. It is Hollywoodpride and showmanship.They should not be trying to be an Oral Roberts, or Billy Graham. That is the worst thing you could evertry to be. Their ambitions must be pure. Their motives must be one thing, and that is set upon eternal life. Whenthey come in contact with that Revelation, they should try with all their hearts to humble themselves under thehand of almighty God, because it was declared by the Lord Jesus:“He that humbleth himself shall be exalted, but he that exalteth himself, shall be abased” (or broughtlow).And it is a dangerous thing to have a proud spirit around this revelation. And I will tell you why, andI will show you examples. It’s a dangerous thing, when you come around and hear all these swelling truths, andyou have a proud heart. You are going to start to boast and argue. And all that argument and all the boasting andLX
all the carrying on would be to exalt yourself into a place to show men that you have knowledge. And the Lorddoes not like that. The Bible says, “The Lord resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.”We must be able to humble ourselves. Not be proud, argumentative, critical etc of others, even thoughwe know that people are wrong. We should not be going around and just blast out at them, be critical of them;carrying on in an ungodly manner. You leave that preaching for the pulpit. You leave that criticizing for thepulpit. You should go about being sweet, being humble, and being kind, trying to live that life before men thatthey may see their error. Not be proud, argumentative, critical etc, but surrendering under the leadership ofGod's Spirit, working through God's gift that is set over you.When you come to this Revelation, you are a baby, and with such a great revelation that was hid sincethe foundation of the world, you don't know anything about it. You already made so many mistakes in your life,and it never led you to eternal life. Once and for all humble your heart to the leadership of the Holy Spirit,because you don't know what to do with this revelation of the seals.You never heard that revelation before. You don't know how to act before such a great Revelation. Youdon't know how to conduct yourself before such a great Revelation, such a mighty God, and such great things,you do not know how to handle them. When you come before such a great God and His revelation, humble yourheart.Let your heart come into that place of asking God, “What must I do?” Do not have something in yourmind, set there of what you want to do. “I want to become a preacher, or I want to go out and speak in tongues,or I will tell you how I will serve God. I will give him fifty percent and take fifty percent for the world.” Now,that could have been done in organisation, but around this Revelation, when a man has his own opinion, he willbe self-led. He will have a proud and haughty spirit. He has reached to a place before the great almighty God,that God could cut him off at once."He that exalteth himself shall be abased, but he that humbleth himself shall be exalted."The way to be exalted, with the almighty God into His kingdom and into the Baptism of the Holy Ghost,is to first humble thyself. Why is that so important preacher? I will tell you. I am not just filling up words. I amtelling you of what I have seen, I am telling you of what I have heard. I am telling you of what the Lordrevealed to me. The way up is the way down. I learnt that.DESPERATION – BORN AGAINThe way up is to come down, and if you want to be thrown down by almighty God, exalt yourself. Exaltyourself and the Lord is going to abase you. A proud spirit is a terrible thing. When you come to that Word ofGod, it doesn't matter what that Word of God demands of you, if you are seeking eternal life, do it! Do it! If youare really desiring eternal life, God would not have to fight-up and “butt-up” with you for you to obey HisWord, because your heart is hot on fire, like Brother Bill, who will do anything to hear the truth and obey it.Now, my brother, that’s the desperation you must have, in order to follow the Word of God.You cannot inject your ideas into this. You cannot inject your organizational habits. You cannot injectyour Laodicean ways, of how you used to serve God, way back down there. Around this revelation you aregoing to come down and understand that this is the only form of eternal life and you want it with all your heart,you are ready to be led by the Spirit of God, and there is only one way that God is going to lead you to eternallife and that is by a man! There is no other way that God has; no other way.You could take a pile of Spoken Word Books, go home, read them and get the wrong interpretation andbecome a false prophet in the morning. Oh yes! You could attend services once in six months or once in threemonths and hear a little bit of that and think that you are saved, go out there and make yourself a false prophet.Our purpose must be right.LXI
LEADERSHIP – ETERNAL LIFEDo not underestimate the words that I am speaking to you. Many men went that way, and ended up inthe mad-house (Insane asylum). After they found this truth, they went about seeking God, in a way that theythought was right, the way that organizations taught them to seek God. An organizational way of seeking Godwould not work with this Word. If this Revelation is great enough to give you eternal life, it is great enough totell you how to seek eternal life. And if that servant of God who the Lord put over you, God blessed him toimpart eternal life to you by the Word of God, the Lord has also blessed him with the knowledge to tell youhow to seek eternal life. If you want to find life, sit under the hearing of God’s Word.There is no way that you could get all the Spoken Word books, all the tapes, sit down and pray and fastevery day and be born again. Unless you sit under a preacher with a true gift of God, you will never be bornagain. No organization could produce the New Birth. There is not a person who sat under a preacher of themessage, who had all those interpretations, is born again. There is only one way to be born again and that is tohear the revealed Word.Don't you realize that the New Birth is a Revelation of the son of man, and that’s the rock that the gatesof hell cannot prevail against? If you sit there and don't know anything about the son of man, you are not yetborn again. And some hypocritical heart thinks that “when I see the time nearing, I will get serious with God,and I will run up there and try to be born again.” You are going plumb through the tribulation, you hypocrite. Itdoes not work like that. No! It does not work like that.You have to be seeking God. You have to be born again. You have to put on that stature of a perfectman that you see on that board, and then you will get the Baptism of the Holy Ghost; and only those who get theBaptism of the Holy Ghost will qualify for the Rapture. Every other thing is going through the tribulation.Every other thing is going to be lost. Oh yes!That’s why the scripture says, “That the day cometh that shall burn as a oven and yea and all the proudand all that do wickedly shall be stubble". And that proud heart in this age, there is one thing it cannot do, andthat is to recognize leadership through a simple human vessel.Do you think the president will come here and sit down, and ask me to pastor his soul? Do you think thatOral Roberts will come and do that? Do you think the superintendent from the Pentecostal Church will do so?Do you think some educated genius will come and ask me to look over his soul? But I want to tell you, I havethe goods to look over the souls of mankind. I say that humbly before the Lord. My beloved, it’s only by thegrace of the Lord I say that, and they would not come here, because they are too proud. And the Lord has givenmany of you grace, with all your positions, with all your degrees and with all your education. It is only themercy of God that helped you to climb down from that proud ladder and ask some little brother, that has somelittle gift in him, that you recognize: “Brother, lead me to eternal life”. It is only the grace of God that did that toyou.But would the world do that? And that is why this world is going to hell. And that is the way that theLord set it up.The Bible says, “How can they hear without a preacher, and how can that preacher, preach except hebe sent.”You cannot hear the voice of Christ, you cannot receive eternal life and your spiritual ears cannot beopened up until you hear a God-sent preacher. Now, you do what you want with that.You say, “I will get the books and I will listen to the tapes, understand them on my own and I will beborn again.” You are going to hell. Oh yes! Don't let that rapture catch you too. It’s going to leave you. As sureas the world, you will make an interpretation. I met men who tried it their way. I am going to give you somestories.There is no other way outside of finding true leadership and humbling that proud heart. Do you know aproud heart does not want to be led? Because a man thinks that he is a leader himself. “I have some education,and I have friends like any other man.” Let me tell you, eternal life does not work by friends; it works by theLXII
heart; and God deals with the human heart, and leads man through a human heart by the inspiration of the HolySpirit. That is what He does.God hides that knowledge, and He hides that wisdom in the bosom of some simple person. A fool to thisworld’s wisdom is going to quicker find life than the wise of this earth. They are foolish before God and theyare trying to work out everything by their brains.Now, look at what the wise will begin to think: “What school did he come from? What education doeshe have? Let me see what kind of house he has?” He is a carnal judge, and if he judged Jesus like that, he wouldhave kicked Jesus in His day. Check and see how much education Jesus had. He was a simple human being, butinside of Him was a fountain of wisdom and a fountain of life. And that common little man, who did not havehis robe pressed (ironed), stood up one day and said:John 11:25 <...I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yetshall he live:And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?>And that little sheep cried out there, “Yea, Lord: I believe.” Oh let me be that little sheep. “Yea, Lord: Ibelieve.” “I am not going to watch at your education, your personality. I am not going to watch at anythingLord. I am going to watch the words that I am hearing. They are words of eternal life, and we are sure that thouart the Christ that should come into the world. To whom shall we go for thou hast the words of eternal life?”Oh! Beloved! Beloved! God set this thing up in such a simple way, that a man who humbles his heart,and that woman who humbles her heart are going to find it. Oh yes! They and they alone are going to find it.Outside of such plan, is to wind yourself away from God, and make yourself a false prophet. The minute youcome around this Word of God, with highmindedness, self leadership, and want to make yourself somethinggreat upon the great truths that you have heard, you are going to wind yourself away from God.But I am persuaded better things of you. I believe that our motives and our objectives are after eternallife, and that is why we stood the Word test. If you are not after eternal life, something is going to come downthe road, to pull you away. Some man, some woman, some false prophet. Something is going to arise that willpull you away from the Word of God.You say, “How do I know that I am desiring eternal life?" You have to know that. And that is verysimple. What do you want more than anything else upon this earth? What do you want? "Brother Bruce, whatI want more than anything else in this world is to pass my exam.” You are lost before you start. You cannot geta revelation. “I want this certain woman.” You would not have eternal life. But if you have in your heart, eternallife, then the Lord is going to give you that and still supply a godly wife for you. You could be seeking eternallife first and have that first place, and at the same time you could be seeking a wife and have that second place.That is acceptable to God. You could be seeking a job and have that third place and be seeking something elseand have that fourth or fifth place. Do you see what I am saying? If you have that lined up like that, all well andgood. I am not preaching fanaticism, saying that everybody should leave everything and go out after eternal life.That will be the wrong thing to do.Now, I am going to show you a few examples; living examples, where men were seeking somethingother than eternal life, when they came in contact with God’s Word, and what the results were. I say, theywound themselves away from the Word of God and became false prophets. When you came to this revelationand heard God’s Word and recognized that to be truth, that was not by chance; that is the grace of God to you.You better don't spurn that grace. You don't joke around with that grace that the Lord gave to you, and put thatoff and say, “When I get time I will see about that.” The Lord will kick you out before the morning.“Those that were bidden were not worthy to taste of my supper. Go and compel them to come from thehighways and the byways.” You had better be urgent about what the Lord revealed and showed you in the Wordof God, otherwise one morning you will wake up and you would believe that what you have heard, one yearago, is eventually false. The Lord has given you over to a strong delusion, that you believed a lie and wasdamned by that lie. That is what the Lord said.You don't joke around this Revelation when you hear it. Believe the Word of God, set your heart oneternal life and that only. Don't put anything before the Lord. Go and do your work, go to school, do what youLXIII
are doing. You have to live in this world. Have one thing on your mind: eternal life. And if anything comesbefore you and this eternal life: wife, husband, children, job, land or house, "I am ready to give it up; I wanteternal life. And even though they want to take this natural life, I am giving it up too. I want eternal life.” Thatis the way a real man seeks eternal life and that is the way man finds it. Seek after eternal life with all yourheart. Jesus said, "He that lose his life for my sake, shall find it." That is what the Bible says. Don’t joke aroundthis Word of God, it is too precious.Let me tell you something; this Word is my life; this is my eating, my drinking and my very breath.That’s the way I value this revelation. I hate to hear a man take this thing lightly, and make an excuse, “Well Iwas a little busy and I could not come to church.” Excuses! You are not after eternal life enough. “Well, I had togo to a wedding; I can't hear the Word of God.” The wedding is more important to you than His Word. Becareful of how you treat this thing. This revelation is too great for that kind of treatment. Brother, this revelationis so great that God hid it from Abraham, he hid it from Jacob, he hid it form Isaac; he hid it from Noah. He hidit from all the prophets and all the Jews, and all the great men and gave it to us.How we should treat it; how we should have reverence for it! When that Word of God is beingpreached, we should be in fear and trembling. You don't even get up to spit, unless it is necessary. When prayeris being offered to the almighty God, you should not even move. That is reverence. That is the reverence weshould have. This Revelation is eternal life. Don't you know that the words coming forth from this pulpit is life?It is eternal life, because it is the Word of God. And don’t you know that if you don’t take it as life, it could killyou right in your seat? You could get up from there and walk out and never have that desire to serve God. Howwe should watch our attitudes, our motives, our desires, our objectives! And because people failed to do suchthings, they reached into certain conditions that I am going to relate to you.People hear it, but they don't love it enough. When you come around that Revelation, let me tell yousomething, knowing the time and the hour, every heart ought to try to get every ounce of the Word of God. Hewill be fearful to miss one service, knowing that he could miss out something, and then break the chain of himunderstanding something. Fear will strike his heart, but when you see people don't come to church in weeks,something is wrong.You cannot set your house in order. You heard the Word of God that says to get your beard off yourface. The message declared it. If you will still have it there, something is wrong, and you need to get that oldbeard off your face. I say that in love. Oh yes. When you have that old long hair on your head, and the Biblesays, “Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?”When the Bible say you should not commit fornication, and you go live in fornication and live inadultery, and the same way, lie and sit down in the House of the Lord, you are playing the part of a hypocrite.The Lord could cut you off by the Word of God. Don't you know that the Bible says that a man of God whohandles the Word of God is an avenger, and he useth not the sword in vain? He could take your life by the Wordof God or impart eternal life to you.Read the book of Romans the thirteenth chapter, how you ought to fear the Word of God and respect it.After all, we did not deserve this eternal life and the Lord came and handed us this eternal life. Here you weredown in a pit, ready to die, you were strangling to death on a rope, and the Lord said, “Come son, I want todeliver you.” And you say, "Just now Lord, I have to do something important; when I get time Lord you willtake the rope off my neck." You will die! You will die! There is nothing more important than eternal life, andthat rich young ruler had something he loved more than eternal life.That rich young ruler came and asked, “Master, what good thing shall I do to inherit eternal life?” Hesaid, “Obey the commandments of God.” He said, “This I have obeyed from my youth. I have been a churchmember all the days of my life, and I don't have this eternal life. I keep all the Laws of Moses, and I know that Iam not born again; I know I don't have eternal life. Tell me the truth Master, tell me the truth; what must I do toinherit eternal life?” Don't you forget, that was the Revelation of God standing before him. Don't you forget,that was eternal God, the almighty, veiled in human flesh, revealed as the son of man. You have come to thevery same thing today: the son of man revealed, and you are that rich young ruler, standing there today, and youwere searching through organization and never found the answer to life. But you came face to face and askedLXIV
the Master, “What good thing shall I do to inherit eternal life?” He said, "Why call me good, there is no onegood but God, but if thou will be perfect man go sell all that you have, distribute it to the poor and come andfollow me.” He hung down his head and was very sad because he was very rich.Beloved, that man had his business, and loved money more than eternal life. That rich young ruleropened up his eyes in hell. Another rich man said, “Now, soul, take thy ease, eat, drink and be merry, for youhave come unto great wealth.” Then the death angel passed that night and said. "Thou fool, this very night thysoul is required of thee, and whose shall those things be?" He went to hell.And the scripture says, "The rich man opened up his eyes in hell, being in torment and cried.” But incrying there, he had no one to hear him, and many men go that way today. Many men have too many things setbefore almighty God. They have their ambitions, they have their pride, they have self and everything beforeeternal life, and when you came to this, you did not come to an organization, you came face to face with eternallife, you don't spurn that, you don't reject that, you don't turn it down; you don't fool around with that. It iseternal life and you ought to lay down your life to receive eternal life.Jesus Christ laid down his life to impart eternal life to you, and you will have to lay down your life toreceive it. You are not going to get it free. He laid down his life to purchase eternal life for you, and you willlay down your life to receive it. "He that loses his life for my sake shall find it". Don't think that you are goingto waltz into this business. I am going to give you one or two examples of men who played around thisRevelation, and became false prophets and antichrists, and are now on their way to hell, most likely.EARLY FALSE PROPHETS – BETHEL AND G.C.C. EXPERIENCESCHAPTER 4II Peter 2: 1-2 <But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.of.>And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spokenSo tonight our topic is going to be “Early False Prophets – Bethel And G.C.C. Experiences.”So what I am about to do tonight is to show you a living manifestation or several manifestations of self and satanic delusions. You will see the manifestation of self, pride and ambition, and the end of such things. So now, these stories that you will hear are not things that were fabricated, they are not types, they are not shadows, they are not things that were made up, but they are actual experiences that we experienced here at G.C.C., some of them, and many can relate to these experiences. But there was a generation born who don’t know these things, and they may be surprising to some. And there is also a generation born at Bethel, and these things may be strange to them but these things are facts. Yes!I was remembering today; in all the expositions that we have made, and personally that I have made, of all false prophets and teachers throughout the world, I can say truthfully, honestly and sincerely, God is my witness, that I have never fought a carnal battle and lied upon any man, no matter how wrong that he is. And I have suffered with men for longer than I supposed to have suffered, in order to deliver them from their deception. And I am thankful for that, that I have never ever in my Christian life fabricated a lie against a man, because he is wrong, to bring him down, and I am thankful for that and the Lord has blessed us because of that, and I have so taught the ministers under this ministry, never to do that because there is a scripture standing there which says; “The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.” Yes! And we follow that motto.LXV
Whatever you are going to hear tonight will be understated rather than overstated. And we have witnesses to these things, both here and back home, and a false prophet likes to say that “they have made up that and they lied against us” because they are exposed, but that is not so.So you are going to get a few examples of the actual manifestations, not just of men, but the manifestations of these spirits that were loosed from the Euphrates River. And probably I did not explain about the Euphrates River, but it is very simple. The prophet of God said that those are denominational rivers. Yes! So it is not actually a river, but there is a river called the Euphrates River, but the Bible took that and typed it out as the Roman Empire and where those demons were bound by the Roman empire, and the prophet said that those rivers were denominational rivers. So these demons were released in the end time, and don’t forget that they are looking for men to possess to fulfil Matthew 24: 24; “False christs and false prophets shall arise and shall deceive many.” We can say truthfully here at G.C.C. and Bethel, and even other places and other churches, that we have witnessed the manifestations of some of these hideous devils, in a way that our human minds could not have imagined. Yes!So we are putting these things together, not so much to expose the human beings, because some of them are now dead, some of them are of no threat to us; no threat to the church. But this is being exposed to the message world to alert them concerning these spirits that are loosed around the message, and yeah, up around the truth and the revelation, and to also educate our brothers and sisters who are now coming into this light by a circulation of our tapes and E.O.D.H. books, what to look out for, that they would be wise enough to understand how these spirits attack and how friendly they come into the congregation and then rise up and destroy many souls. Many souls were destroyed, and we have witnessed the destruction of many souls by these false prophets arising and we are fully aware of these spirits. We don’t joke around these spirits. And that you servants of God, would understand that in your countries, wherever the truth of the Lord comes, you expect three kinds of believers and you expect these demons to manifest themselves in men sitting right in the congregation, and Brother Paul found that. He said, “Men from amongst your selves shall arise speaking perverse things to draw away disciples after them.” Yes, he saw them. And our prophet, Brother Branham, warned about the same thing, and in “Christ is the mystery of God revealed”, he said:Quote W.M.B.: 12-1 ...Now, you're all one great, big, sweet group now, but remember my warning. See? Satan won't let that stay that way. No, sir. He'll shoot everything, if he has to bring somebody in to make his target. He'll bring some critic or unbeliever in, set him down, and cause him to fellowship with you under the quietness and things. Then he will shoot that guy with some kind of poison stuff, and he'll start through the church with it. Don't you take sides with it. Don't you have nothing to do with anything else.... The enemy will come. And when he does, just cling that much closer together. And the one that the Devil is using for an enemy will either get out or come in and be one of you. (Christ Is The Mystery Of God Revealed 63-0728).We have witnessed all these things.HARRY Mc COONNow, this one might be a little strange, but then it concerns you to a certain extent. This here has to dowith a man who is now dead but he manifested these spirits. Now, this man was amongst you, and some of theold timers would remember. Let it be known that this report is the truth. I have it on tape, by his own testimony.He once followed a doctrine and a cult called Yeshua Messiah, and was a preacher. God privileged this man,with a privilege that I would have loved to have, but never had it in that form. He was living in the UnitedStates of America being a Trinidadian, and by the miracle of God, out of the whole wide world, he went to thefountain of life, where God is about to outpour His Spirit.LXVI
WRONG MOTIVES AND OBJECTIVESHe sat at the feet of Pastor Robert Lee Lambert, to hear those great revelations. I learned fromdiscussions with him, and close examination in the course of time, why certain things did befall this man. Hewould do almost anything to go anywhere and preach the Gospel. He ended up before mighty men of God, rightin the tabernacle of Durham, he sat and heard the Word of the Lord, but he had the wrong desires. He had thewrong motives. He had the wrong objectives. I learned that afterwards by his confession. He said, “My desirefor going to the States and finding truth was that I wanted to be a great man, and I had some arguments withcertain preachers here and I wanted to receive power from God. Secretly in the heart, I wanted to come backand kill them.” That was deep-seated in the heart of this man. It took me a long time to find that out.On the surface, seated among the congregation and sitting under the man of God, everybody acceptedthat his motives, objectives and desires were pure. But everybody’s desires and motives and objectives are notpure. They alone know their desires. They alone know what they are aiming at. To seek this power when hefound the Word of God, he went upon a mountain with that desire. You had better know what you are seeking.You had better know how you are seeking God.He went upon a mountain. There on that mountain he heard the voice of the prophet coming through hismouth. He had some supernatural experiences, and was given a Hebrew word to use against his enemies.He said that he eventually used that Hebrew word and was able to transfigure himself. Witnesses whosaw him do it said that his face turned white like milk and took a different shape, which he said is the mounttransfiguration experience and that the Lord had given him a ministry. By doing that and using that Hebrewword, he attacked many believers, spiritually, here in Trinidad, and put such a spiritual blow upon their heads,that it brought them instant headaches. Those men confessed that to me, and there were men that he repented toin my presence. One man said, “I will never forgive you for that, because you almost caused me to jump out ofa car, that day when you transfigured your face before me.”He deceived a preacher and his congregation in this country, when he came back from the United States.A preacher that had already been preaching for twenty years. He had that congregation giving full honour andrespect to him, and total obedience by that power that he had. This man terrorized certain people who weredisobedient to him.Someone revealed to him, that he was a prophet. He believed that he was to be co-prophet withRevelation 10:1 to evangelize the entire earth. He identified himself in Revelation 4, as one of the beast, theeagle. With that motive and objective and the wrong desires, he sat and heard solid truth, but because his heartwas not right, being religiously ambitious, he took ahold of the greatest revelation that God ever sent upon theface of the earth, the revelation of the son of man; the seals, and in his mind the devil perverted it. Therevelation which he got, the whole thing was antichrist. He believed that to be the truth.He believed that the fullness of the Godhead was dwelling bodily in a human vessel. He had his ownidea about how to be born again. He believed to be born again you must have literal pains like a woman inchildbirth, and he began seeking after that, right in the tabernacle, seeking for that pain and that travailingdown on the inside. He was in the tabernacle one day, without the leadership of God's servant, and withoutasking a question, he went on seeking to be born again and without asking how to be born again, he tried to getborn again.He had a certain experience like what he wanted. Right in the tabernacle before the great servant of God,a demon came in and gave him what he was looking for. He had real birth pains, he groaned, he sighed, hetravailed and he accepted that as the new birth. Accepting that as the new birth not knowing that it was a demonthat came down in him, that demon started giving him many delusions, relative to his misconception of the sonof man, insomuch that he went to the servant of God one day and shook his hand, and when he raised up hishead he saw that man's face shinning like the sun and he fainted. That is what he was seeing.A little while after that, he started losing his mind. He would go through the traffic light on red; heheard a bell ringing in his ear. He wanted to get that revelation at once. He wanted to get all that revelationbecause his ministry was very urgent to all the world. He read some books somewhere, where he could get allLXVII
that revelation while sleeping. He would place an earphone in his ear, and when he awoke he rememberedeverything. So he set that tape on, plugged it in his ear and while he slept that would be playing in his ear. Hedamaged his ear bells. He filled himself with what he thought was the revelation. He was demon possessed.He was in New York one time, and a man walked up to him and said; “You need a pair of shoes", tookhim into the store and bought a pair, and when he came outside the man disappeared. He said, “That was theMessiah that appeared to me and bought this pair of shoes". Together with that, he showed me the shoes. Soafter going through those things, he thought that he was fully equipped, was born again and that he hadsomething that nobody else had. He had a privilege that nobody else had. He came to Trinidad to make himselfa great prophet. So the man of God told him to get in contact with Brother Bruce, when he comes.So he came down here, I listened to him. Well, of course, “he had all the Revelation and I had none.” Hecame and sat in my little prayer house, which used to be situated where Bethel now stands. He said, "If thouknewest who speaketh, to thee thou would have ask of him, and he will give you eternal life." He said, "I amfilled with divine love," and indicated enough to tell me he is a prophet. I listened to him. He said, "Andfurthermore, God’s servant sent me to you, to help you." I said, "All well and good." He said, "Would youpreach for me?''. Yes! I went and preached.The man and the congregation he had deceived started projecting a doctrine that whosoever does notlisten to this man is lost. I listened to everything, and I could not believe it. I could not accept it, because theLord had showed me differently. So this man visited me for many weeks, propagating his doctrine to me, but Iknew something was wrong. I was just coming into this Revelation, and I myself had no tapes of the man ofGod, Pastor Lambert.I did not hear many of the great truths, but now the devil attacked me with the perverted truth, before thefull truth could come to me, and I was hearing that but I could not accept it. I said something is wrong here. Ihad enough knowledge to know that no man is Jesus. I had enough knowledge to know that the fullness of theGodhead is dwelling in no man. And I went on and I watched that man for six months, playing it right down,because I wanted to know. I knew he was wrong because of certain pictures he showed me. He passed throughNew Jersey, U.S.A. and in just a few minutes, he converted that congregation and baptized about twenty fivepeople.Receiving money from the States as a great man of God, he bought a car down here, and he was tryingto be very close to me. He came to the prayer house and showed me a photograph where he was baptizingsomebody, and after the baptism, he was hugging a man's wife around her waist, touching her. I knew that wasnot divine love, and divine love would not do that. I said, “That is nastiness thou man of God! It is unscripturalin the Word of God." He said, "You see, you don't understand, that is divine love." I said, "Oh! It’s divinelove." I said, “Okay, so be it.” I wanted to hear some more. So I got his whole story, from the beginning. I hadconfidence that he could not deceive me.I wrote the man of God. I said, “This man is projecting such and such and such, and I believe that thereis a right side concerning these truths, and I believe that this man is perverting this thing.” He said, “So beit. Brother Bruce, I am writing him a letter telling him the plain truth, to get off the pulpit and stop ministeringthe Word of God and I am sending him to you, for you to look over his soul. I am sending you a copy of thisletter.” He sent me a copy of the letter ahead of time and then sent him that letter telling him to get off the pulpitand come and humble himself to the man of God.He	  had	  already	  indoctrinated	  that	  congregation	  with	  his	  doctrine,	  his	  false	  sensations,	  his	  visions	  and	   his	  dreams.	  	  He	  had	  already	  whipped	  those	  brothers	  with	  that	  Hebrew	  word.	  He	  had	  them	  under	  subjection.	  	   I	  thought	  it	  was	  time	  to	  expose	  this	  man,	  so	  I	  had	  that	  letter	  and	  I	  never	  showed	  it	  to	  him.	  	  We	   both	   came	   across	   in	   the	   prayer	   house	   and	   I	   thought	   I	   would	   expose	   him,	   and	   when	   I	   did,	   he	   started	   using	   his	   Hebrew	   word	   and	   tried	   to	   transfigure	   himself	   before	   me.	   He	   later	   confessed	   that.	   His	   Hebrew	   word	   was	   not	   working	   and	   his	   transfiguration	   was	   not	   working,	   but	   I	   knew	   he	   was	   trying	   to	   do	   something	   because	   I	   saw	   him	   lean	   backward	   and	   relaxed	   on	   a	   bed	   where	   he	   was	   sitting.	   I	   said,	   “You	   are	   a	LXVIII
false	   prophet,	   and	   you	   are	   demon	   possessed	   and	   you	   need	   to	   repent!”	   	   That	   man	   turned	   right	   over	   on	   the	   bed	  and	  fell	  over.	  	  He	  left	  his	  Bible,	  ran	  out	  and	  took	  off.	  I	  went	  out	  after	  him.	  I	  said,	  “Get	  away	  from	  here,	  you	  are	  living	  in	  fornication	  with	  a	  young	  girl	  in	  this	   country	   and	   that	   is	   not	   the	   Spirit	   of	   God!”	   He	   said,	   “Hush	   man,	   Oh	   God	   hush,	   hush	   man.”	   	   I	   said,	   “I	   am	   not	   hushing	   tonight,	   you	   have	   a	   devil,	   and	   your	   only	   way	   of	   escape	   is	   to	   get	   all	   the	   men	   you	   deceived,	   bring	   them	  right	  before	  me	  and	  testify	  of	  your	  deception.”	  	  Well,	  he	  delayed	  for	  a	  few	  days.	  I	  then	  got	  about	  two	   or	  three	  of	  those	  men	  and	  I	  told	  them	  what	  was	  happening.	  	  	  One	  night	  at	  midnight	  everybody	  came	  down	  to	  Bethel.	  The	  place	  was	  packed.	  I	  said,	  “Such	  and	  such	   is	  the	  case;	  here	  I	  have	  a	  letter	  from	  the	  man	  of	  God.”	  When	  I	  pulled	  that	  letter	  out	  fear	  struck	  everybody’s	   heart	   because	   he	   had	   already	   put	   up	   that	   man	   as	   a	   man	   of	   God	   and	   himself	   as	   a	   prophet.	   	   I	   said,	   “This	   is	   what	  the	  man	  of	  God	  has	  to	  say	  about	  this	  man”,	  and	  when	  that	  happened,	  everybody’s	  eyes	  were	  opened.	   He	   had	   the	   Seals	   Book	   with	   his	   name	   identified	   as	   the	   eagle.	   He	   had	   the	   Bible	   marked	   out	   where	   that	   man	   of	   God	   fulfilled	   a	   certain	   office.	   	   I	   said,	   “You	   have	   a	   devil	   in	   you!	   The	   man	   of	   God	   does	   not	   condone	   these	   things”.	  I	  said,	  “What	  I	  want	  you	  to	  do	  is	  to	  start	  testifying	  to	  these	  men	  how	  you	  got	  into	  this	  delusion.”	  It	   lasted	   for	   about	   two	   to	   three	   hours	   and	   that	   is	   how	   I	   know	   most	   of	   these	   facts	   concerning	   this	   false	   prophet.	  He	  was	  a	  mad	  man	  mishandling	  the	  Word	  of	  God,	  living	  in	  fornication	  around	  the	  Word	  of	  God	  and	   trying	   to	   make	   himself	   a	   prophet.	   The	   people	   who	   heard	   that	   exposition	   were	   delivered.	   	   I	   sent	   all	   those	   people	   to	   different	   churches	   that	   claimed	   to	   be	   preaching	   the	   revelation	   of	   the	   message.	   I	   told	   them	   to	   go	   and	   find	   a	   pastor.	   The	   Lord	   sent	   those	   people	   to	   me	   to	   pastor.	   	   They	   did	   not	   want	   to	   go,	   but	   yet,	   I	   did	   not	   want	  to	  open	  up	  a	  church	  here	  in	  opposition	  to	  my	  little	  brother	  right	  on	  the	  hill.	  	  His	   present	   condition	   (1993)	   is	   that	   he	   is	   living	   with	   two	   wives.	   He	   occasionally	   gives	   me	   a	   visit.	   	   He	   would	   ask	   me	   how	   things	   are.	   I	   said	   many	   times	   to	   him,	   “You	   need	   to	   repent	   for	   your	   adultery,	   and	   when	   you	   come	   here	   speak	   very	   seriously	   with	   me.	   You	   need	   to	   straighten	   up!”	   	   He	   said,	   “Well,	   I	   am	   trying	   to	   work	   it	   out.”	   He	   had	   his	   plans	   of	   how	   to	   work	   that	   out.	   	   The	   Lord	   was	   merciful	   to	   him	   and	   healed	   his	   ear.	  	   The	   Lord	   was	   merciful	   to	   him	   and	   saved	   his	   mind	   because	   he	   repented.	   	   He	   went	   on	   for	   a	   while	   and	   when	   that	  division	  took	  place	  concerning	  those	  four	  preachers,	  he	  went	  with	  that	  bunch.	  	  He	  is	  out	  into	  the	  world	   tonight.	   This	   revelation	   demands	   respect,	   reverence,	   sanctification,	   holiness,	   the	   right	   desires	   after	   eternal	   life	  and	  that	  only.	  This	  poor,	  deluded	  man,	  after	  a	  few	  years,	  died	  in	  his	  sins,	  before	  his	  middle	  age.	   	   	  “PROPHET” HARRY PAUL – “ABRAHAM”	  Here	   is	   another	   story	   of	   how	   men	   become	   demon	   possessed.	   This	   was	   a	   fellow	   who	   could	   not	   humble	  himself.	  He	  had	  a	  proud	  spirit.	  He	  is	  also	  now	  dead,	  even	  as	  a	  young	  man.	  During	   that	   time	   that	   we	   made	   a	   stand	   for	   the	   Word	   of	   God,	   against	   “prophets”	   Macarthy	   and	   Kennedy’s	  resurrection	  heresies,	  there	  was	  a	  lovely	  brother	  who	  came	  out	  with	  us	  named	  Harry	  Paul.	  	  After	   a	   little	   while,	   I	   left	   this	   country	   for	   Guyana	   and	   went	   down	   to	   help	   somebody	   preach.	   	   I	   came	   back	   and	   understood	  that	  he	  was	  not	  out	  to	  church.	  	  	  Some	  people	  think	  that	  is	  no	  part	  of	  the	  pastor’s	  business	  to	  ask	  why	  they	  are	  missing	  services.	  But	  if	   he	  doesn’t	  do	  that	  he	  is	  not	  a	  good	  shepherd.	  If	  Christians	  are	  going	  to	  miss	  services,	  I	  believe	  they	  need	  to	   come	  to	  the	  pastor	  and	  let	  him	  know	  that	  they	  will	  be	  absent	  for	  a	  few	  days	  or	  let	  the	  pastor	  know	  that	  they	   are	  sick	  or	  they	  are	  having	  some	  problems	  or	  that	  something	  is	  wrong.	  And	  if	  your	  children	  or	  your	  wife	  who	   live	  in	  the	  same	  house	  with	  you,	  they	  are	  not	  coming	  to	  church,	  it	  is	  the	  duty	  of	  the	  husband	  to	  come	  to	  the	   pastor,	  before	  the	  pastor	  comes	  to	  him,	  and	  explain	  that	  situation	  that	  his	  children	  are	  sick	  or	  something	  is	   wrong,	   or	   his	   wife	   is	   having	   unbelief,	   and	   explain	   that	   to	   the	   pastor.	   You	   should	   never	   give	   the	   pastor	   that	   problem	   to	   have	   to	   come	   and	   ask	   you,	   “Where	   are	   your	   children,	   I	   have	   not	   been	   seeing	   them	   for	   a	   few	LXIX
months?”	  I	  believe	  that	  is	  total	  disrespect	  to	  the	  ministry,	  total	  disrespect	  to	  the	  minister,	  and	  I	  believe	  that	   is	  giving	  extra	  worry	  to	  the	  pastor	  for	  him	  to	  be	  figuring	  out;	  “What	  happened?	  What	  happened?”	  You	  send	   him	  to	  pray	  for	  those	  souls	  while	  those	  souls	  might	  be	  just	  having	  a	  good	  time.	  I	   believe	   that	   is	   good	   respect,	   but	   there	   are	   unmannerly	   people.	   They	   were	   never	   brought	   up,	   they	   were	   dragged	   up.	   Yes!	   They	   never	   had	   any	   kind	   of	   training,	   no	   kind	   of	   manners.	   If	   they	   are	   even	   going	   out	   on	  a	  trip	  somewhere,	  they	  don’t	  say	  anything	  to	  the	  pastor.	  They	  are	  selfish	  people.	  In	  other	  words;	  “That	  is	   not	  your	  business.”	  Yes!	  Some	  people	  are	  so	  secretive	  in	  themselves	  that	  they	  don’t	  want	  anybody	  to	  know	   their	  business.	  Don’t	  you	  know	  that	  you	  belong	  to	  a	  certain	  house,	  and	  if	  you	  are	  absent	  from	  that	  house	  everybody	   worries	  and	  they	  want	  to	  know	  why	  you	  did	  not	  come	  home	  tonight	  and	  for	  one	  week	  we	  are	  missing	  you?	   Don’t	   you	   know	   they	   will	   go	   to	   the	   police?	   Alright,	   it	   is	   the	   same	   thing	   in	   the	   House	   of	   God,	   that	   if	   you	   are	   missing	   from	   the	   House	   of	   God	   and	   you	   are	   not	   attending	   services,	   it	   is	   the	   burden	   of	   the	   pastor,	   it	   is	   the	   burden	   of	   the	   ministers.	   And	   I	   believe	   that	   we	   should	   have	   enough	   respect	   to	   know	   that	   we	   are	   not	   attending	   church	   as	   we	   are	   supposed	   to	   and	   one	   of	   your	   family	   members	   is	   not	   doing	   that,	   it	   is	   your	   responsibility	   to	   even	   come	   and	   say,	   “I	   am	   having	   problems	   with	   this	   young	   lady,	   I	   am	   having	   some	   problems	  with	  this	  young	  man	  and	  I	  cannot	  get	  them	  to	  come	  to	  church,	  something	  is	  happening.	  They	  are	   having	  worldly	  friends.	  They	  are	  after	  a	  girl,	  after	  a	  boy.”	  Now,	  in	  so	  doing,	  you	  would	  be	  able	  to	  help	  your	   children,	  help	  your	  wife,	  help	  your	  husband.	  I	  believe	  that	  is	  proper	  training.	  But	   the	   only	   time	   that	   some	   people	   come	   to	   the	   pastor	   is	   when	   their	   family	   gets	   into	   trouble	   and	   stops	   church	   and	   run	   away	   with	   a	   man,	   run	   off	   with	   a	   girl,	   wife	   run	   off	   with	   another	   man,	   that	   is	   the	   time	   they	  come	  to	  complain	  to	  the	  pastor.	  The	  pastor	  is	  not	  a	  magician	  to	  solve	  that	  problem	  for	  you.	  You	  should	   be	  picking	  up	  the	  slack	  at	  home.	  You	  should	  be	  doing	  your	  duty	  in	  keeping	  in	  contact	  with	  your	  pastor.	  How	   many	  say,	  amen?	  [Congregation	  says,	  “Amen!”]	  That	   does	   not	   only	   go	   for	   here,	   brothers	   and	   sisters.	   It	   goes	   for	   Bethel	   and	   it	   goes	   for	   wherever	   my	   voice	  would	  be	  heard.	  That	  is	  proper	  training.	  	  So	   I	   approached	   this	   man	   because	   we	   were	   not	   seeing	   him,	   and	   hear	   the	   answer	   he	   gave	   to	   his	   pastor.	  I	  said,	  “Brother,	  are	  you	  having	  some	  problems?	  	  I	  do	  not	  want	  anything	  to	  happen	  to	  you	  brothers	   at	   this	   time.”	   	   He	   said;	   “Nothing	   could	   happen	   to	   me!”	   From	   the	   time	   I	   saw	   that	   proud	   spirit,	   I	   knew	   that	   a	   demon	  got	  on	  him.	  I	  thought;	  “Nothing	  can	  happen	  to	  you?”	  He	  went	  back	  and	  tried	  to	  fool	  with	  a	  man	  that	   really	   hated	   me	   and	   was	   really	   trying	   to	   pull	   us	   down,	   and	   told	   all	   kinds	   of	   lies.	   He	   was	   a	   preacher.	   I	   am	   talking	  about	  deliberate	  lies,	  and	  claimed	  to	  be	  preaching	  the	  Word	  of	  God,	  and	  that	  fellow	  had	  the	  bedding	   ground	   to	   receive	   such	   lies.	   Before	   you	   could	   receive	   lies	   against	   your	   minister,	   against	   your	   pastor	   and	   against	  the	  truth,	  you	  must	  have	  a	  certain	  bedding	  ground.	  After	  you	  sit	  and	  hear	  a	  pastor	  and	  you	  know	  his	   motives,	   you	   know	   his	   objectives,	   and	   you	   know	   his	   purpose,	   for	   you	   to	   go	   and	   receive	   lies	   about	   him,	   something	   is	   wrong	   with	   your	   soul.	   And	   do	   you	   know	   what	   was	   happening?	   I	   went	   out	   and	   I	   left	   Brother	   Ramkumar	   in	   charge	   of	   the	   church,	   and	   he	   got	   the	   idea	   that	   he	   was	   the	   spiritual	   one	   whom	   I	   supposed	   to	   have	  left	  in	  charge.	  Now,	  you	  see	  pride,	  self,	  ambition.	  So	  they	  sowed	  up	  that	  fellow	  real	  bad.	  	  	  Then	   the	   Lord	   revealed	   to	   me;	   “Go	   tell	   that	   man	   (who	   was	   telling	   all	   those	   lies);	   He	   that	   telleth	   lies	   shall	   not	   tarry	   in	   the	   sight	   of	   God.	   	   He	   that	   telleth	   lies,	   him	   will	   I	   cut	   off.”	   	   When	   I	   did	   that,	   that	   man	   went	   back	  into	  the	  world	  and	  he	  is	  still	  in	  the	  world	  tonight,	  cut	  off	  from	  almighty	  God.	  	  This	  little	  brother	  went	  back	  to	  those	  preachers	  and	  they	  filled	  his	  mind	  with	  all	  kinds	  of	  lies.	  	  It	  is	  a	   dangerous	  thing	  to	  hear	  a	  voice	  that	  speaks	  against	  this	  truth,	  after	  you	  know	  it	  to	  be	  the	  truth!	  	  You	  should	   not	   have	   any	   company	   with	   anyone	   who	   speaks	   against	   this	   truth.	   	   Any	   mouth	   that	   speaks	   against	   that	   Word	  of	  `God	  is	  the	  devil!	  You	  should	  not	  be	  fooling	  with	  anybody	  who	  preaches	  unbelief	  to	  you.	  He	  knew	   that;	  I	  told	  him	  that.	  	  	LXX
So	  whenever	  you	  come	  against	  the	  	  truth,	  whenever	  you	  start	  hardening	  your	  heat	  against	  the	  Word	   and	   start	   hearing	   the	   wrong	   voices,	   you	   are	   going	   to	   lose	   grace	   in	   the	   sight	   of	   God.	   So,	   immediately,	   when	   that	   fellow	   acted	   proudly	   and	   refused	   to	   humble	   himself,	   he	   started	   getting	   problems	   in	   the	   flesh,	   and	   he	   went	   back	   there,	   and	   in	   his	   unbelief,	   he	   went	   out	   and	   committed	   adultery	   and	   he	   came	   back	   to	   me	   with	   tears	   in	   his	   eyes,	   in	   the	   little	   prayer	   house.	   He	   said,	   “Brother	   Bruce,	   I	   realize	   my	   wrong.	   I	   was	   too	   proud,	   I	   should	  not	  be	  so	  proud”.	  	  I	  felt	  so	  good	  for	  that	  man,	  I	  said,	  “Brother,	  I	  would	  do	  anything	  in	  my	  life	  to	  see	   you	  walk	  with	  God’s	  Word.	  	  Come	  to	  church.”	  	  He	  went	  away.	  	  He	  did	  not	  have	  the	  grace	  to	  come.	  	  	  Lo	  and	  behold,	  instead	  of	  repenting	  and	  bringing	  back	  his	  wife,	  he	  found	  a	  way	  out	  for	  his	  sin.	  	  There	   is	  no	  way	  out	  for	  your	  sin,	  but	  open	  confession	  and	  repentance!	  	  You	  cannot	  patch	  up	  anything	  before	  God.	  	   The	   minute	   you	   want	   to	   patch	   up	   something	   under	   this	   Word	   of	   God,	   you	   will	   be	   given	   over	   to	   a	   strong	   delusion.	  	  When	  you	  do	  wrong,	  repent,	  come	  down	  and	  humble	  that	  heart.	  	  The	  very	  reason	  that	  man	  would	   not	  repent	  was	  because	  of	  a	  proud	  heart.	  	  So	  he	  remained	  there	  a	  little	  without	  repenting.	  	  Lo	  and	  behold,	   he	  found	  an	  excuse.	  	  	  	  He	  was	  ambitious;	  never	  gave	  up	  that	  pride	  and	  the	  devil	  told	  him	  in	  a	  vision	  that	  he	   was	  Abraham	  the	  Prophet.	  	  This	  woman	  that	  he	  committed	  adultery	  with	  was	  “Hagar”,	  therefore	  it	  was	  not	   sinful.	   	   Brother	   Dilraj	   knows	   that	   to	   be	   the	   truth.	   	   Brother	   Deo	   Ramkumar	   knows	   that	   to	   be	   the	   truth.	  	   Different	  ones	  in	  here	  know	  that	  to	  be	  the	  truth.	  	  	   	  Now,	  he	  was	  Abraham	  the	  prophet.	  	  Easy	  like	  that	  he	  became	  Abraham	  the	  prophet,	  with	  the	  wrong	   motives,	   the	   wrong	   objectives	   and	   playing	   around	   this	   Word.	   	   Brothers,	   around	   this	   Revelation,	   the	   devil	   has	  his	  great	  demons	  posted	  in	  order	  to	  attack	  anybody.	  Anybody	  who	  would	  stand	  for	  this	  truth	  had	  better	   know	   how	   they	   are	   walking.	   	   Do	   not	   fool	   with	   dreams!	   You	   do	   not	   fool	   with	   visions!	   You	   do	   not	   fool	   with	   sin!	   	   When	   you	   are	   wrong,	   repent!	   	   A	   man	   could	   fool	   around	   in	   organization	   and	   do	   a	   lot	   of	   things	   and	   get	   away.	   	   I	   am	   not	   trying	   to	   get	   at	   you	   with	   your	   little	   faults.	   Do	   not	   get	   scared,	   everyone	   of	   us	   has	   our	   faults	   and	   failures	   here	   and	   there,	   but	   I	   am	   talking	   about	   people	   who	   are	   living	   in	   adultery	   and	   commit	   fornication,	   lie	   and	   cuss	   and	   steal	   and	   sit	   in	   the	   House	   of	   God	   and	   then	   claim	   to	   be	   Christians.	   Your	   judgment	   is	   sure.	   I	   am	   not	   talking	   about	   a	   little	   weakness	   here	   and	   there,	   but	   your	   motives	   and	   objectives	   are	   right.	   	   	   Every	   one	   of	   us	   has	   that.	   He	   believed	   that	   he	   got	   a	   revelation	   that	   he	   is	   Abraham	   the	   prophet,	   and	  believing	  that	  he	  is	  Abraham	  the	  Prophet,	  he	  was	  going	  with	  Hagar.	  	  He	  had	  a	  son	  by	  Hagar.	  He	  came	  to	   the	  church	  here	  as	  Prophet	  Abraham.	  	  Prophet	  Abraham	  sat	  right	  at	  the	  back.	  	  You	   could	   know	   those	   who	   claim	   to	   be	   prophets;	   they	   have	   a	   certain	   look.	   	   The	   Lord	   helped	   me	   to	   understand	  that	  something	  was	  wrong.	  So	  after	  the	  meeting	  I	  wanted	  to	  talk	  to	  him	  to	  catch	  his	  spirit.	  	  	  So	  I	   went	   out	   there,	   I	   said,	   “How	   are	   you?”	   	   He	   said,	   “I	   came	   to	   unbind	   this	   church	   because	   it	   is	   bound.”	   	   I	   said,	   Okay”	   He	   said,	   “You	   saw	   when	   I	   walked	   around	   the	   church	   and	   I	   walked	   around	   the	   pool;	   I	   unbound	   it.”	   I	   said,	  “It	  would	  be	  nice	  to	  talk	  to	  you	  some	  day	  about	  this	  great	  power	  that	  you	  have.”	  So	  I	  went	  down	  to	  his	   house,	  in	  the	  presence	  of	  Brother	  Dilraj.	  	  He	  looked	  at	  Brother	  Dilraj;	  he	  was	  speaking	  to	  me	  in	  parables.	  	  He	   said:	  “You	  understand	  what	  I	  mean?	  	  	  You	  caught	  it?	  I	  said	  I	  was	  not	  catching	  it.	  	  He	  said,	  “There	  is	  a	  Judas	   here:	   Dilraj.”	   I	   said,	   “Judas,	   you	   go	   on,	   let	   prophet	   Abraham	   and	   myself	   speak.”	   	   “Judas”	   got	   real	   vex,	   you	   know.	  I	  sent	  him	  to	  the	  car,	  and	  he	  went	  and	  left	  us	  there.	  	  	  A	  little	  while	  after	  that,	  he	  said,	  “I	  did	  not	  want	  to	  tell	  you	  all	  of	  that	  revelation	  in	  front	  of	  that	  man,	   that	  fellow,	  he	  is	  Judas.	  	  Let	  me	  tell	  you	  something;	  I	  am	  a	  prophet	  and	  you	  are	  a	  prophet.”	  I	  am	  not.	  	  I	  said,	   “Oh,	  I	  see.”	  	  I	  did	  not	  want	  to	  oppose	  him.	  	  I	  wanted	  him	  to	  say	  everything	  that	  he	  had	  to	  say.	  	  He	  said,	  “Let	   me	   tell	   you	   something,	   God	   gave	   me	   a	   revelation	   of	   the	   Seven	   Thunders,	   I	   have	   the	   Seventh	   Seal	   opened,	   and	   you	   are	   a	   man	   of	   God”.	   	   So	   I	   listened	   to	   him.	   	   I	   said,	   “You	   are	   demon	   possessed	   and	   you	   need	   to	   repent!”	  He	  was	  shocked.	  	  I	  saw	  him	  looking	  for	  his	  cutlass	  (machete).	  	  	  	  A	  little	  while	  after	  that,	  I	  saw	  that	  he	  was	  angry,	  so	  I	  took	  my	  car	  and	  went	  back	  home.	  	  He	  ended	  up	   in	   the	   insane	   asylum.	   These	   spirits	   are	   spirits	   of	   insanity,	   spirits	   of	   deception,	   spirits	   of	   the	   devil,	   violent	   spirits.	   You	   do	   not	   go	   just	   arguing	   and	   carrying	   on	   with	   these	   people.	   Let	   them	   believe	   what	   they	   want	   to	LXXI
believe.	   Walk	   away	   from	   them.	   They	   are	   demons	   of	   persecution.	   So	   he	   went	   mad.	   You	   cannot	   play	   around	   this	  revelation.	  You	  must	  have	  the	  right	  desires,	  right	  motives	  and	  right	  objectives.	  If	  you	  want	  an	  excuse	  for	   your	  sins,	  the	  devil	  will	  give	  you	  an	  excuse	  for	  your	  sins.	  This	  poor,	  deluded	  man	  died	  as	  a	  young	  man	  just	  a	   few	  years	  later.	  Now, there is a place that a man could reach to the point of no return. When a man hears truth and wants to puff himself up and make himself somebody, there is a place that such a man could reach where he is cut off from almighty God. He remains a false prophet. Men make themselves false prophets, playing around with truth.MAC AND KENNow, this is concerning two of my preaching partners. One of them was actually brought up under my ministry. One of them is Macacrthy and the other is Kennedy. One is a negro and the other is an Indian. We were real buddies. We preached everywhere, we followed the message to the letter, we supported each other and everything was going real smooth; no pride, no self, no ambition. We worked as one team. But something is going to happen here.Macarthy received his seed of Pentecostalism under Mr. Ray Solomon, who was a great impersonator of W.M. Branham and his message. He later separated from him and formed his own church. He started to preach the message of W.M. Branham. We became associated around that time and preached at different places locally and abroad. Kennedy was added as an exhorter soon after. There was one noticeable thing in the ministering of Macarthy. He never gave up his Pentecostal traits. He continued to speak and pray with a Bible school trained voice, pretending to be under the power of the Holy Ghost by praying very fast and sucking his teeth and vibrating his hand and other parts of his body and embarrassed me several times, but I excused his Pentecostalism because he had not been out from under his Pentecostal pastor very long.Pastor Lambert came to Trinidad in 1970, preaching a return of Pentecost and coming of the capstone before the rapture and a Bride’s revival to come to the church. We embraced his teachings of the message. I examined his doctrine by the Word and message for almost two years after which I declared it to be true but not before several supernatural experiences from the Lord which confirmed the same.It was approximately eighteen months after Pastor Macarthy embraced the truth that pastor Lambert was murdered and became the first martyr of the message. Being conscious of Macarthy’s Pentecostalism and religious ambition, I warned him and Kennedy about the arising of false prophets and heresies to lead the church astray, now that the Lord had taken Brother Lambert home, but they failed to heed that advice. They professed that they were immune to such attacks and that the revelation of the outpouring was too plain and simple to be impersonated. As a result they ended up in many deceptions and followed many damnable heresies. They slipped into delusions after delusions, heresies after heresies and corrupted many souls for many years. I will now set in order the course of their deception and wicked deeds from the former years. 	   	  IN TIME OF SEPARATIONNow, there were different preachers. I don’t want to call anybody’s name unless I feel led of the Lord to do that. But the fact is that I want to show you in time of separation, what happens. The majority went off, and only a handful of people stood for the Word of God.Amongst those that stood were Kennedy Madray, Macarthy Griffith, James Chickoree, Shaffeek Mohamed from Guyana and Johnny Beudica from Suriname.All the ministers and saints were proclaiming that Brother Lambert is a man that was sent to us, and that the revelation is the truth. We were unified; shouting, jumping, praising, fasting and seeking the Lord. By thatLXXII
time the people had gained much confidence in me because of those things that the Lord revealed, because of the truths that I had been preaching which were actually confirmed by God’s servant.Three churches were always gathered together for communion each month, and the assemblies grew in number with a few hundred people following. The great and mighty presence of the Lord was attendant. You are talking about oneness; you are talking about unity you are talking about love for one another. They would listen to my tapes; they would do anything for me. They would leave from where they lived and spend days at my prayer house - Bethel. They really adored me. They appreciated the way I stood for the Word of the Lord and my influence was very great upon the lives of those people because many of them I led to the Lord, many of them I baptized and answered their questions.Now, those of you in foreign lands, I want you to note something here. You are now coming to this revelation, over there in India and Africa and different parts of the world. Don’t be fooled, that when you come to this truth and it seems like everybody is in unity and everybody is going to be in one, and you would not have any divisions, and the ministers seem to be in unity, the people seem to be in unity and everybody seems to understand. Don’t follow that mirage. Remember what the prophet said that there are three kinds of believers. Yes! Trouble is ahead.So the man of God stood up on the pulpit one time and he said something that sunk into my heart and I was watching for that. He said, “Your problem here in Trinidad is that you have too many preachers.” They thought that he was speaking about the island generally, but I knew very well that he was speaking about us; those bunch of ministers who said that they believed.So this is the point I am trying to make. I am trying to build up the understanding of you and others in Bethel and wherever this revelation will go, to understand that wherever this revelation goes you will have divisions. The Bible said, “And there was a division because of Jesus.” The seventy left him and others left him, and wherever the truth is you must have division because God is separating the light from the darkness. After He separates the light from the darkness, you may have peace and you might have quietness for a long time, but you still have to have your minds alert. Look out, because the devil is going to sit right among you and then shoot that fellow with some poison stuff; quoting Brother Branham from “Christ is the mystery of God revealed.”So you must learn that, outside there. This book is going out and these tapes are going out right now to educate the people who have embraced this revelation of an outpouring, a revival and all these things, concerning these selfish men, proud men, ambitious men who claim to receive the truth. You can always expect the devil to rise in your assembly, rise in your country, and always view it as the devils from the Euphrates River anointing some ambitious person to destroy many souls.AMBITION – PRIDE - JEALOUSYSo little did I know, because I was too young in the revelation, that the pride and the ambition, the jealousy and the envy that were in the hearts of Macarthy Griffith, Kennedy Madray and James Chickoree would destroy hundreds of souls and pervert this revelation. And this was the foundation that was laid to cause that destruction and perversion of the truth. Now, the brethren, because I had led many of them to the Lord, they had confidence in me, and I thought, “Why pastor a group when my brothers have their churches right around me. So I was trying to be humble. Now, ministers, never try to be too humble. If God gives you a work to do, go and do it. Yes!So now, the negative element that was in those preachers was this: They could not understand how they were the pastors of the churches and people would come to me with their questions and ask me for advice, and ask me to pray for them, and come to the prayer house and continue to fast and pray. They could not understand that. Brethren, that laid a foundation for jealousy. That confidence that the brethren had in me, not being the pastor, was a thorn in the flesh of the ministers; and that is where we will pause a little and talk about “ambitious preachers and false prophets.”LXXIII
Now, in singleness of heart I was trying to work for the Kingdom, doing my best, answering everybody’s questions, and trying to lead everybody right; but I did not know there were such negative elements in preachers, at least not up around the revelation. I know it now. I did not want to believe it then, but jealousy started; that negative element. Do you know that’s the same thing that started in Heaven against Michael and his Kingdom before a separation?It took me unawares because I was not expecting that from anybody, as the confidence that the people had in me was very great. It could not be easily broken. Just like the people here have confidence in me. It is not very easy to break this confidence. No. Do you know why? Because the people believed the Word that I preached. For many years they looked at the life that I lived, they looked at the counsel that I gave to them, and that confidence grew for many years, and the preachers took some time to destroy it.That devil came wagging his tail in there, and one ambitious preacher got very jealous. One of those preachers needed a wife and could not find a wife, and he gave him a girlfriend whom he was around. I could not find him a wife, but this preacher found him a wife. Immediately the pulpit was opened up to him, and the confidence of that minister in me, who was brought up under my ministry and teaching, was being destroyed. He started getting away from me. That ambitious preacher was humble as a flower, but was jealous like Lucifer down on the inside. He came and gradually overpowered that congregation and that minister.After awhile I used to sit in the congregation and hear preaching like this, “When you have a problem you need to come only to your shepherds.” Then they will tell me, “When the people come to you send them to us. We believe that the people are glorifying you to much.” I said, “Okay, I will tell them not to glorify me then.” Then from the pulpit, I started hearing statements like this: “Brethren you could be an idolater, you could become an idolater by giving a man too much glory.”Well, I felt bad to send the people away when they came with their problems. I did not want to do that. Certain people would come to them with certain problems and they would come secretly and ask me for the answers, and would go tell them to the people in order to gain recognition. Now I did not know what was going on. In the singleness of my heart I was trying to serve the Lord. Everybody was trying to gain recognition with the man of God; everybody was trying to be close buddies with the man of God; everybody wanted the meetings to be held at their church when the man of God, Brother Lambert, visited. I had no church, though I led many to the Lord, as I sent all my converts to their churches and freely ministered to them, in good faith, until the image of jealousy came in.The time went on and that jealousy worked in such a way that certain members were schooled by these preachers privately, on idolatry; that they were idolizing my little prayer house; that they were idolizing Brother Bruce, and that they should not idolize Brother Bruce. In the midst of all this that was going on, something happened. The man of God was taken home. Before that time, I had preached right on the pulpit (I still have it on tape) that the Lord was going to take Brother Bob home. I had a revelation that the Lord had given to me while he was preaching. On tape, this is what I said that the man of God will be killed! It was spoken on tape. And before he died, he wrote a letter saying, “There are those that would like to take my life for this revelation presently.”And don’t you think, brothers and sisters, that this revelation is something just cheap and common that you go about it any old how. The devil hates everybody who believes this revelation. You identify yourself with this truth, and the world becomes your enemy. Oh yes, don’t you think it is just cheap and common. That man knew that before that time. And the man of God died, and I knew that there was going to be some changes.SHEPHERD SMITTEN – FAITHFUL FEW STOOD FOR WORD	  	I	   felt	   something	   in	   my	   heart	   when	   I	   heard	   about	   the	   man	   of	   God’s	   death.	   It	   was	   something	   like	   this:	   “Now,	   the	   true	   sheep	   will	   be	   known,	   and	   now	   every	   make-­‐believer	   who’s	   following	   this	   thing	   and	   following	   a	   body	   of	   flesh	   will	   be	   exposed.”	   That’s	   the	   way	   I	   felt	   the	   minute	   I	   heard	   that.	   I	   did	   not	   want	   to	   think	   that,	   but	LXXIV
something	  happened.	  I	  called	  the	  ministers.	  We	  went	  to	  have	  a	  dinner,	  I	  said,	  “I	  want	  to	  say	  something	  to	  you	   fellows,	   and	   that	   is	   we	   have	   to	   look	   forward	   for	   false	   prophets	   arising.	   There	   might	   be	   false	   prophets	   arise	   amongst	   us	   to	   separate	   us,	   and	   to	   pretend	   that	   they	   are	   the	   ones	   to	   follow	   this	   great	   man	   of	   God.”	   They	   laughed	   at	   the	   idea	   and	   said,	   “That	   could	   not	   be;	   this	   revelation	   is	   too	   plain	   for	   any	   such	   thing	   to	   ever	   happen.”	   The	   time	   went	   on	   and	   a	   “prophet”	   came	   from	   the	   United	   States,	   infiltrated	   the	   church	   and	   put	   his	   own	  doctrine	  right	  in	  there.	  	  	So	   after	   giving	   that	   warning...	   It	   is	   too	   much	   to	   bring	   out	   in	   one	   little	   message,	   and	   words	   cannot	   explain	   what	   the	   church	   of	   God	   went	   through,	   but	   each	   of	   you	   old-­‐timers	   here	   had	   your	   experience	   of	   what	   went	   on	   when	   that	   shepherd	   was	   smitten.	   “Smite	   the	   shepherd	   and	   the	   sheep	   shall	   be	   scattered.”	   (Matthew	   26:	  31).	  	  	Children	   you	   have	   not	   experienced	   that	   before.	   You	   don’t	   know	   what	   a	   separation	   is;	   you	   don’t	   know	   some	  of	  these	  things.	  And	  although	  you	  hear	  about	  them,	  you	  don’t	  understand	  how	  we	  can	  be	  a	  loving	  bunch	   of	   people	   here	   today,	   and	   tomorrow	   there	   is	   bitterness,	   there	   is	   hatred	   and	   there	   is	   jealousy.	   Now,	   all	   those	   are	  the	  devils	  from	  hell,	  devils	  from	  the	  Euphrates.	  After	  the	  shepherd	  is	  smitten	  they	  just	  rush	  in	  there	  to	  take	   the	  souls	  of	  the	  sheep.	  So	  now,	  many	  souls	  were	  lost	  after	  the	  man	  of	  God	  was	  taken	  home.	  It	  was	  the	  doing	   of	   the	   Lord.	   And	   as	   far	   as	   the	   Lord	   revealed	   to	   me,	   it	   was	   His	   doing	   to	   show	   who	   is	   who;	   who	   are	   Bride	   members	  and	  who	  belonged	  to	  the	  devil.	  The	  Lord	  could	  have	  had	  that	  man	  standing	  here	  today,	  but	  the	  Lord	   does	   certain	   things	   for	   certain	   reasons.	   And	   hear	   what	   Brother	   Paul	   said:	   “I	   know	   that	   after	   my	   departure	   grievous	  wolves	  shall	  enter	  in	  not	  spearing	  the	  flock”	  (Acts	  20),	  and	  that	  is	  exactly	  what	  happened.	  Jesus	  said,	   “Smite	  the	  shepherd	  and	  the	  sheep	  shall	  be	  scattered.”	  So	  after	  that	  happened,	  the	  devil	  struck.	  	  	Now	  beloved,	  I	  am	  still	  laying	  emphasis	  that	  before	  the	  devil	  struck,	  he	  had	  to	  have	  men	  with	  a	  certain	   condition	  of	  heart.	  Yes!	  And	  these	  men,	  actually	  had	  the	  heart’s	  condition	  to	  receive	  the	  devil,	  and	  they	  were	   waiting	  right	  there.	  They	  were	  full	  of	  jealousy,	  full	  of	  malice,	  full	  of	  hatred	  and	  could	  smile	  through	  it	  and	  hide	   that.	  Yes!		   	  	RESURRECTION HERESYSo something happened, and that is; after the death of Brother Bob, a delegation came down from New England with the “revelation” of what was going to happen from then on. It was the revelation of Jim Rosenberry and Dale Graybill.Piracy is stealing. Later, I would come to find out that there was a resurrection group which arose and they were fighting Carlton Mcgahee who was pastoring the church at that time, and they were causing a lot of havoc. And they were the great “spiritual” ones, and Jim Rosenberry was the author of this resurrection doctrine. He approached certain ones in the congregation at New England, and he tried to preach that resurrection doctrine; stating that there would be a completion of the ministry of Christ by the first resurrection. Brother Bob never did believe in a resurrection doctrine. He fought that “tooth and nail”, when the people tried to resurrect Brother Branham. He said, “When God finishes with a man he puts him in the grave”; and he fought that because there is no scripture for it, and Brother Bob would not stand for such cultish teachings. 	  	So	  they	  formulated	  a	  doctrine,	  		  	   The	   tapes	   which	   he	   sent	   to	   Trinidad,	   he	   demanded	   them	   back.	   When	   he	   did	   that,	   I	   suspected	   that	   that	   man	   knew	   something	   that	   I	   needed	   to	   know,	   and	   that	   something	   was	   hiding	   here	   in	   New	   England,	   and	   I	   was	   inquisitive	   enough	   to	   investigate.	   But	   it	   took	   me	   a	   long	   time	   to	   find	   out	   what	   that	   man	   was	   really	   hiding.	   And	   he	   knew	   the	   danger	   of	   it;	   he	   knew	   what	   could	   happen	   if	   he	   gave	   out	   those	  tapes	  before	  the	  time.	  	And they came down there very urgently with tapes that were stolen from theLibrary of G.C.C.borrowed	  the	  tapes	  from	  the	  library,	  which	  Brother	  Bob	  did	  not	  want	  togo	   out,	   and	   illegally	   recopied	   them.LXXV
	  	So	   these	   men,	  		   	   So	   I	   wanted	   to	   find	   out	   what	   was	   going	   on	   so	   they	   invited	   me	   and	   my	   wife	   to	   a	   big	   dinner	   in	   a	   restaurant.	   Poor	   country	   girl!	   I	   guess	   it	   was	   the	   first	   time	   she	   ever	   had	   anything	   like	   that.	   She	   was	   scared	   to	   death.	   I	   don’t	   think	   she	   ever	   went	   to	   another	   one.	   So	   they	   sat	   there	   and	   they	   started	   to	   bring	  out	  their	  revelations.	  I	  was	  not	  interested	  in	  the	  food;	  I	  was	  interested	  in	  what	  these	  men	  were	  up	  to.	  So	  I	  listened	  to	  them	  carefully.	  	   	  So	  	  	   	   You	   know	   we	   have	   the	   first	   testament	   and	   second	   testament,	   which	  are	  the	  Old	  and	  New	  Testament.	  So	  this	  was	  a	  “third	  testament.”	  So	  I	  took	  that	  pile	  of	  books;	  I	  still	  have	   them	   at	   home.	   So	   I	   listened	   to	   them	   carefully.	   I	   don’t	   oppose	   people	   too	   quickly;	   I	   like	   to	   give	   a	   hearing	   ear.	   And	  that	  was	  the	  attitude	  I	  had	  towards	  the	  man	  of	  God	  when	  I	  met	  him.	  Many	  people	  said	  he	  was	  false,	  but	  I	   gave	  him	  a	  hearing	  ear,	  and	  I	  went	  and	  searched	  out	  what	  he	  was	  preaching	  for	  two	  years	  before	  I	  confirmed	   that;	   because	   I	   had	   a	   certain	   instruction	   from	   the	   Lord,	   back	   there	   in	   my	   wilderness	   experience,	   and	   the	   Lord	   told	  me;	  “As	  your	  body	  is	  stiff	  upon	  this	  bed	  so	  shall	  you	  walk	  with	  this	  man’s	  (Brother	  Branham’s)	  message.”	  I	   was	  very	  afraid	  that	  I	  twist	  off	  the	  message	  of	  the	  prophet,	  Brother	  Branham.	  So	  I	  was	  not	  going	  to	  accept	  any	   man	  too	  easily,	  and	  Brother	  Bob	  knew	  that.	  I	  was	  not	  going	  to	  accept	  any	  revelation	  until	  I	  first	  proved	  that	  in	   the	   Word.	   Yes!	   Yet	   I	   would	   not	   maintain	   a	   bad	   spirit;	   I	   would	   hear	   you	   out.	   And	   that	   is	   what	   I	   do;	   I	   hear	   out	   every	  fanatic.	  Every	  false	  prophet	  who	  rose	  up,	  I	  gave	  them	  a	  fair	  chance	  and	  I	  even	  sent	  them	  up	  to	  the	  pulpit	   to	  declare	  their	  revelation.	  You	  will	  find	  that	  right	  here	  in	  these	  messages	  which	  I	  am	  bringing.	  I	  deal	  very	  fairly	   with	   them.	   I	   say,	   “Come	   declare	   your	   revelation,	   put	   it	   in	   the	   Word	   of	   God;	   and	   if	   you	   cannot	   put	   your	  revelation	  in	  the	  Word	  of	  God,	  then	  you	  would	  hear	  from	  me.”	  	   	  	So	   some	   of	   these	   brothers;	   Brother	   Ramkumar	   is	   here,	   Brother	   Joseph	   is	   here.	   They	   were	   there	   in	   some	   of	   these	   showdowns.	   I	   had	   those	   false	   prophets	   right	   on	   the	   pulpit.	   I	   said,	   “Declare	   your	   revelation.	   If	   you	   cannot	   prove	   it,	   you	   are	   going	   out	   of	   the	   church	   and	   will	   have	   your	   own	   church,	   because	   you	   are	   a	   “prophet”	  and	  I	  am	  a	  pastor.	  I	  cannot	  pastor	  a	  prophet.”	  How	  is	  a	  pastor	  going	  to	  pastor	  a	  prophet?	  No!	   	  	So	  Jim	  and	  Dale	  came	  down	  there	  as	  the	  great	  powers	  of	  God	  and	  they	  had	  “the	  third	  testament.”	  And	   they	  were	  talking	  some	  secrets	  because	  they	  did	  not	  trust	  me.	  They	  were	  talking	  some	  secrets	  with	  Macarthy,	   Kennedy	  and	  Chickoree,	  and	  I	  knew	  that	  there	  was	  some	  secrecy	  going	  on,	  but	  I	  did	  not	  understand	  that	  they	   had	   brought	   a	   resurrection	   doctrine.	   These	   men	   brought	   a	   resurrection	   doctrine	   to	   Trinidad.	   Brother	   Bob	   hated	  that	  doctrine,	  he	  fought	  against	  that	  doctrine,	  and	  he	  called	  it	  the	  devil’s	  doctrine.	  Yes!	   	  	Afterwards	   I	   sat	   in	   the	   churches	   and	   they	   were	   sort	   of	   “cold-­‐shouldering”	   me	   and	   not	   inviting	   me	   to	   preach,	   and	   I	   started	   hearing	   that	   resurrection	   doctrine	   from	   the	   pulpit.	   But	   they	   were	   preaching	   that	   resurrection	   doctrine	   in	   a	   smart	   way:	   “All	   that	   Brother	   Bob	   said	   must	   come	   to	   pass,	   everything	   that	   Brother	   Branham	   said	   must	   come	   to	   pass,	   it	   must	   be	   fulfilled.”	   So	   I	   caught	   on	   and	   I	   knew	   that	   the	   devil	   was	   moving.	   I	   said	   to	   myself;	   “This	   is	   a	   resurrection	   doctrine,	   and	   I	   am	   going	   to	   fight	   that	   resurrection	   doctrine.”	   You	   talk	   about	  when	  a	  spirit	  starts	  moving.	  	  Brethren,	   coming	   back	   to	   my	   point;	   these	   men	   had	   the	   bedding	   ground	   to	   receive	   falsehood.	   And	   do	   you	  know	  what	  carried	  them	  away?	  They	  got	  a	  revelation	  that	  Bruce	  does	  not	  know	  anything	  about,	  and	  they	   have	  tapes	  that	  Bruce	  does	  not	  know	  anything	  about.	  And	  they	  thought	  that	  they	  have	  now	  conquered	  Bruce,	   they	  know	  more	  than	  Bruce	  and	  they	  would	  exalt	  themselves,	  and	  the	  people	  would	  follow	  them	  and	  come	  to	   them	   and	   adore	   them.	   That	   is	   the	   truth.	   Not	   one	   lie	   is	   made	   up.	   Here	   is	   a	   man	   (Brother	   Ramkumar)	   who	   is	   a	   witness,	   and	   I	   have	   a	   whole	   church	   full	   of	   witnesses	   concerning	   the	   rising	   of	   these	   spirits	   through	   the	   many	   years.	  	   	they	   brought	   tapes	   to	   Trinidad	   which	   they	   had	   stolen	   from	   G.C.C.	   by	   illegally	   copyingthem,	   and	   making	   books	   of	   them.not	   knowing	   that	   they	   had	   stolen	   those	   tapes,	   pirated	   them,	   they	   handed	   me	   a	   bunch	   of	   tapes.	   Isaid,	  “Thank	  you.”	  And	  then	  they	  brought	  out	  a	  pile	  of	  books	  put	  together	  with	  the	  quotations	  of	  Brother	  Boband	   they	   called	   them	   “the	   third	   testament.”LXXVI
	FIVE CHURCHES DECEIVEDAnd	   that	   resurrection	   doctrine	   drafted	   in	   Shaffeek	   Mohammed	   from	   Guyana;	   it	   drafted	   in	   Johnny	   Beudica,	  my	  interpreter	  in	  Suriname.	  The	  man	  could	  have	  spoken	  about	  five	  or	  seven	  different	  languages.	  For	   your	   information,	   he	   died	   recently.	   Yes!	   And	   there	   was	   a	   conglomeration	   of	   these	   spirits.	   All	   three	   churches	   joined	  together.	  Guyana	  joined	  together	  with	  them;	  Suriname	  joined	  together	  with	  them,	  and	  there	  was	  unity.	   You	  are	  talking	  about	  real	  love,	  and	  hugging	  and	  kissing.	  My!	  I	  tell	  you;	  crying.	  And	  all	  of	  them	  came	  together	   and	  they	  had	  a	  few	  “unbelievers”,	  among	  them,	  which	  was	  myself	  with	  about	  a	  dozen	  people.	  You	  talk	  about	   shouting!	   You	   talk	   about	   praising!	   What	   I	   am	   trying	   to	   show	   you	   is	   that	   those	   demons	   from	   the	   Euphrates	   River	  could	  shout	  too,	  and	  they	  could	  dance.	  And	  they	  came	  in	  there	  with	  that	  resurrection	  doctrine,	  and	  they	   made	  us	  look	  real	  small.	  So	  I	  got	  a	  chance	  on	  the	  pulpit	  and	  I	  said,	  “All	  this	  resurrection	  doctrine	  is	  of	  the	  devil!	   We	  don’t	  believe	  it.”	  Oh,	  that	  broke	  out	  a	  war	  and	  we	  were	  ready	  to	  fight.	  Yes!	   	  	So	   this	   resurrection	   doctrine	   was	   built	   in	   a	   very	   subtle	   way	   that	   could	   have	   really	   deceived	   alot	   of	   people.	   Very	   subtle!	   And	   I	   will	   tell	   you	   what	   fooled	   those	   people,	   brethren.	   What	   fooled	   those	   people	   is	   that	   they	  had	  just	  come	  to	  the	  revelation;	  just	  like	  you	  in	  India	  and	  Africa.	  And	  many	  of	  you	  over	  there	  have	  more	   knowledge	  today	  than	  the	  people	  who	  had	  just	  come	  to	  the	  revelation	  back	  there	  for	  about	  eighteen	  months	   when	   the	   pastor	   went	   on.	   So	   they	   were	   not	   equipped.	   And	   then	   there	   were	   these	   men	   with	   this	   bedding	   ground	   to	   accept,	   not	   only	   a	   resurrection	   doctrine,	   but	   to	   accept	   the	   doctrine	   of	   the	   suspected	   murderer	   of	   their	  very	  shepherd.	  I	  never	  knew	  that	  those	  men	  had	  such	  self	  and	  pride	  and	  ambition	  down	  in	  them.	  	   	   	  JIM SOUNDING TRUMPET OF RESURRECTION	   	  	So	  now,	  this	  is	  the	  core	  of	  the	  whole	  resurrection	  doctrine.	  They	  believed	  that	  soon	  after	  the	  death	  of	   Brother	  Bob,	  the	  trumpet	  sounded	  (I	  Thessalonians	  4:	  16);	  “The	  Lord	  Himself	  shall	  descend	  from	  heaven	  with	  a	   shout”,	   which	   is	   passed,	   “and	   the	   voice,”	   is	   passed,	   and	   now	   “the	   trumpet”	   is	   starting	   to	   sound.	   But	   the	   trumpet	   sounding	   must	   bring	   the	   dead	   from	   the	   grave.	   Do	   you	   see	   how	   they	   connected	   the	   resurrection?	   So	   they	   said,	   “It	   is	   a	   resurrection	   doctrine.”	   Now,	   hear	   the	   smartness	   of	   the	   devil.	   Now,	   the	   devil	   put	   into	   those	   boys’	  minds;	  nice	  boys.	  Yes!	  I	  communicated	  with	  them,	  they	  were	  very	  nice	  boys.	  I	  cannot	  say	  that	  they	  were	   evil	  men	  and	  bad-­‐spirited.	  I	  am	  just	  saying	  that	  they	  were	  deceived	  of	  the	  devils	  from	  the	  Euphrates	  River,	  and	   the	   devil	   was	   going	   to	   use	   them	   to	   destroy	   many	   souls;	   and	   they	   had	   a	   certain	   bedding	   ground,	   they	   had	   certain	   ambitions.	   Yes!	   It	   is	   a	   dangerous	   thing	   to	   have	   self	   and	   pride	   and	   ambition.	   All	   that	   Dale	   was	   studying	   was	  to	  make	  money	  through	  his	  gas	  station.	  He	  never	  found	  time	  to	  dedicate	  himself,	  but	  he	  got	  carried	  away	   by	  Jim	  with	  this	  resurrection	  heresy.	  I	  am	  just	  letting	  you	  know	  how	  they	  formed	  that	  resurrection	  doctrine.	  They	   believed	   that	   Jim	   started	   to	   blow	   the	   trumpet.	   Yes!	   And	   that	   was	   the	   trumpet	   of	   the	   resurrection.	  Yes!	  They	  don’t	  call	  him	  a	  messenger,	  but	  they	  believe	  that	  he	  started	  to	  blow	  the	  trumpet	  of	   the	   resurrection.	   Now,	   the	   trumpet	   of	   the	   resurrection	   doctrine	   is	   this.	   They	   embraced	   a	   resurrection	   doctrine	   and	   projected	   that	   the	   secret	   of	   life	   after	   death	   must	   come	   by	   the	   first	   resurrection	   and	   will	   be	   upon	   the	   earth	   for	   about	   thirty	   to	   thirty-­‐five	   days,	   when	   it	   will	   fulfill	   all	   the	   promises	   of	   God	   made	   to	   Brother	   Branham,	   termed	   as	   his	   New	   Ministry.	   	   That	   will	   be	   the	   full	   revelation	   of	   the	   seven	   thunders	   and	   the	  third	  pull.	  	  It	  will	  bring	  rapturing	  faith	  to	  the	  Bride	  of	  Christ.	  Alright,	  now	  listen!	  Hear	  this	  catch,	  and	  this	   is	   what	   carried	   away	   those	   big,	   jealous	   fellows.	   They	   thought	   that	   they	   were	   going	   to	   get	   a	   revelation	   now	   that	   superseded	   everybody.	   “Bruce	   is	   in	   a	   corner	   now,	   the	   people	   are	   following	   us	   now.”	   You	   are	   talking	   about	   a	   unity.	   By	   then	   they	   had	   killed	   my	   influence.	   People	   ran	   from	   me	   when	   they	   saw	   me.	   Yes!	   They	   did	LXXVII
not	  want	  to	  see	  me,	  they	  just	  ran	  when	  they	  saw	  me	  like	  if	  I	  was	  a	  spirit.	  Yes!	  And	  then	  they	  labeled	  me	  as	   being	  possessed	  of	  demons	  from	  the	  Euphrates	  also.	  Yes!	  So	   the	   whole	   secret	   of	   this	   resurrection	   cult	   and	   heresy	   is	   a	   damnable	   thing!	   They	   spoke	   about	   a	   general	   resurrection	   which	   is	   the	   first	   resurrection,	   and	   believed	   that	   in	   that	   resurrection	   would	   come	   up	   the	  true	  seven	  thunders	  and	  the	  true	  seventh	  seal.	  And	  when	  that	  happens,	  it	  brings	  the	  secret	  of	  life	  after	   death,	  and	  then	  it	  is	  brought	  to	  the	  Bride.	  And	  when	  the	  Bride	  gets	  that	  she	  will	  be	  able	  to	  translate	  herself	   and	  she	  will	  be	  able	  to	  go	  in	  the	  rapture.	  It	  is	  a	  lie	  of	  the	  devil!	  Brother	  Bob	  taught	  no	  such	  doctrine.	  Alright,	   they	   took	   that	   and	   they	   typed	   it	   to	   Jesus.	   Do	   you	   remember	   when	   Jesus	   died,	   He	   went	   and	   conquered	   hell,	   death	   and	   the	   grave	   and	   He	   arose	   on	   the	   eighth	   day	   with	   the	   secret	   of	   life	   after	   death?	   So	   they	   were	   typing	   it	   out	   to	   Jesus.	   Brother	   Bob	   never	   believed	   in	   any	   such	   thing,	   and	   he	   rebuked	   many	   men	   for	   speaking	   such	   things.	   He	   said	   that	   he	   rather	   have	   four	   men	   go	   to	   the	   back	   of	   the	   church	   and	   beat	   him	   until	  he	  had	  no	  more	  eyes	  and	  no	  more	  nose	  and	  no	  more	  mouth,	  than	  to	  project	  such	  doctrines	  and	  attach	   such	  things	  to	  the	  ministry	  of	  Christ.	  	  With	   his	   humility	   I	   believe	   that	   God	   used	   that	   man	   in	   a	   special	   way,	   and	   the	   things	   that	   he	   taught	   were	  left	  to	  be	  understood	  by	  people	  who	  loved	  the	  Lord	  and	  for	  the	  Holy	  Spirit	  to	  reveal	  to	  them.	  Because	   of	   that	   resurrection	   doctrine,	   the	   people	   here	   of	   New	   England,	   who	   loved	   the	   Lord	   and	   loved	   Brother	   Branham	   and	   looked	   for	   an	   outpouring	   of	   the	   Holy	   Spirit	   and	   looked	   for	   the	   revival,	   went	   through	  hell!	  Yes!	  They	  debated	  with	  the	  elders,	  they	  fought	  Brother	  McGahee,	  they	  fought	  the	  people	  and	   they	   got	   a	   big	   following,	   they	   got	   a	   gathering	   of	   so-­‐called	   spiritual	   people.	   The	   children	   of	   God	   stood	   up	   against	   all	   of	   that,	   and	   you	   are	   witnesses.	   And	   bringing	   that	   resurrection	   doctrine,	   they	   lined	   that	   out,	   thinking	   that	   there	   was	   going	   to	   be	   a	   resurrection	   very	   soon,	   and	   when	   the	   resurrection	   takes	   place,	   the	   secret	  of	  life	  after	  death	  to	  change	  the	  body	  and	  bring	  the	  resurrection	  and	  carry	  the	  people	  in	  the	  rapture	   was	  going	  to	  be	  very	  soon.	   	  	  	By	   this	   time	   I	   was	   facing	   Macarthy	   Griffith	   and	   Kennedy	   Madray	   with	   this	   doctrine	   down	   there,	   while	   the	   church	   here	   was	   facing	   these	   resurrectionists	   down	   at	   Durham.	   I	   was	   opposing	   them.	   So	   now,	   I	   used	   to	   communicate	  with	  them.	  I	  am	  talking	  about	  the	  local	  preachers.	  They	  were	  still	  trying	  to	  convince	  me.	  	   	   	  DATE SET - 1976	  So there was a date set for this great happening; the resurrection and the secret of life after death coming up, and it was the 4th July 1976, which was two hundred years of independence for America. And they based their thoughts upon the statement of Brother Branham that no nation ever passed two hundred years of independence. So since it would have been two hundred years of America’s independence, they expected the first resurrection, the seven thunders, the secret of life after death, the coming of the Capstone, the Bride’s revival, the fulfillment of all the promises of God, and then the rapture to take place. Their predictions failed, caused the loss of souls and there was a division among them. Many became worldly and involved in the vices of Sodom. They went back to their televisions, sports, fornications, adultery and immoral dressing. They expected some great happenings again to be fulfilled in 1978. It did not come to pass.Now, when that date failed, I spoke to Jim personally and I questioned him about his resurrection doctrine. He could not open his mouth, he had no scripture. I had him for about two to three hours. I had him here in front of Brother George and he could not defend his doctrine. All that he kept on saying was, “He must resurrect, he must resurrect.” I said, “You are in a delusion of the devil, you have no scripture whatsoever.” He still chose to believe that resurrection doctrine and go on with that resurrection doctrine. He was in a delusion of the devil. I faced these men, I even faced Dale, and they could not answer to the cause of Christ.LXXVIII
Alright. This is how their doctrine was built. They believed that there were no more preachers, so they started preaching a doctrine that people should be left without pastor-ship to “corrupt the seed”, as it must corrupt before life springs forth; (in type of a natural seed). And they quoted St John 12: 24:<Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.>So another doctrine was that neither Brother Branham, the apostles nor Brother Bob was truly born again. Yes! The new birth was only going to come from the grave. After this resurrection they would come and tell us how to be born again and that “born again” would be the secret of life after death. That is the thing that was involved. And Jim told me personally that now that Brother Bob died, all the tapes were supposed to go around the world. I looked at that man as a big fool. He stood up on the pulpit, and in a parable he was preaching that Brother Branham was not born again. He said, “John the Baptist was not born again. Oh, I bite my tongue! Oh!” “Revelation” went out. That hypocrite, false prophet, anointed of the devil from the Euphrates River, led all those people astray! You will meet your days! I spoke to him personally and tried to convince him for hours that he was wrong, and he could not answer to my questions. Brother, I had him in my own house for about two to three hours, and I showed him everywhere. I said, “Give me one scripture for your resurrection doctrine?” He could not do it. He said, “Isaac was one received as from the dead.” I said, “That is not any scripture.” I said, “Show me one place for your resurrection doctrine? You cannot show me! I challenge you!” That man was still determined to follow that resurrection doctrine.Alright! I met Dale in a car and I showed him a couple scriptures. We did not have a long conversation. I was trying to win this man from this heresy. Yes! He said, “The time is going to come when all shall hear the voice of the son of man and they shall come forth from the grave.” I said, “The Bible never said that.” He said, “What? The Bible never said that?” I said, “The Bible said, son of God.” Boy, that man did not know what to say. He still continued in his doctrine. Yes!So now, this was the resurrection doctrine that came our way, and those people followed that resurrection doctrine.Now, closing remarks. You are getting a little picture, a little vision of how things went and how the devil moves. Alright! Over here, a man was arrested for the murder of Brother Bob, questioned by the police. Lo and behold, Jim and Dale flew down to Trinidad to defend that hypocrite, that monster. They gathered us ministers together, trying to convince us that he is a holy man, he is a eunuch, he is this and he is that. I had my both ears opened and my eyebrows lifted. I was not going to accept anything. I sat and heard them out.Now, not knowing what was going on here in New England; I had little or no communication with the brethren here. Things were in confusion, wars were going on here. God was dividing light from darkness. Beloved, it was war going on in the Caribbean. All those ministers joined to fight just a dozen people; pitched us out of the churches. We ended up in a house, but the Lord was with us. You talk about some messages preached during that time. You talk about the anointing of the Lord, yes, with just about a little over a dozen people, and we were worshipping the Lord, praising the Lord, cutting down those heresies.JIM & DALE INTRODUCED TEDDYSo I am here to let you know that the two men who introduced Teddy; that serpent seed, seed of the devil, Cain’s seed, with a murderous spirit like his father, were Jim and Dale! They came and introduced Teddy to the churches there, and to Macarthy Griffith, James Chickoree, Kennedy Madaray, and I was present. And I heard that man speak and I was in all their meetings. This is not any hearsay. I was in all their meetings, but they had me like the scapegoat, and the little group that followed me. I still attended. We tried to unite, not even knowing what was going on. And this man was like a god among the people. It will take some time to tell you about this character and his doctrine that would eventually destroy hundreds of souls and close down fiveLXXIX
churches in the Caribbean, by that one devil and that resurrection doctrine. So now, what this hypocrite did was, he knowing that he had his own plan and program, he came in under the resurrection brothers for cover and he professed that he believed in that resurrection doctrine. But he was the last man who wanted to see Brother Branham or any of God’s servants come up from the grave because he was a stinking adulterer. A filthy, nasty adulterer living with a woman in the congregation. Yes! That is what transpired.Now, watch something with those devils from the Euphrates always. Friends, they cannot live a holy life. They are immoral spirits. Don’t matter what prophetic ministry they claim, notice that they cannot live that life. They always commit fornication, adultery and every other thing that goes with it.I came to Connecticut, U.S.A. at God's appointed time, confirming the promises to them and emphasizing their fulfilment. Several from the resurrection group came to hear the Word of God. Dale’s mother believed and was miraculously delivered from that doctrine. Dale took great offence in her stand against him and his doctrine. For a time, he attended the services each time I visited the saints, just to be defiant. He was rebuked sharply for his unbelief on many occasions. He became very bitter against the pastor of the assembly, the saints and myself. He would be one of the chief instruments who the devil would now use to bring persecution upon the church and upon me. His present condition is that he was recently sentenced, in January 2009, to four years in prison for running a multi-million dollar scheme. You cannot fight the Word of God and the people of God and come out right.This article was taken from the net:DALE GRAYBILL SENTENCED TO FOUR YEARS IN PRISONI am going to give you a little history of Mr. Dale, to show you that money spirit after thirty-six years that put him in jail. There was a man called Gordon Lockrow who was the treasurer of the church in Connecticut. Both of them got together and plotted to steal the church’s funds. I had cause in 1980 to correct his wife; Mickey Lockrow, for her big mouth and long tongue.Now, people from all parts of the world came to Trinidad. This woman used to visit my home. I stayed in their house. So I know what I am talking about. This woman was devil possessed. She was from Japan, a Japanese woman. Now, I am going to find out this right in my house, that this woman was devil possessed. Now, this make-believer was very, very cunning.I	  went	  to	  the	  States	  and	  stayed	  at	  their	  home	  and	  found	  out	  that	  she	  was	  ruling	  over	  her	  husband,	  who	   was	  a	  deacon.	  Everybody’s	  business	  in	  the	  church,	  he	  had	  to	  tell	  her	  about	  it	  everyday.	  So three women got together in my presence and they were arguing about something. I called it to the attention of Brother George. I said, “Brother George, that’s the devil moving. Those three women arguing right there, and we two ministers standing right here and they don’t have a bit of respect for us.” I said, “The devil is working through them right now on the porch. And besides that, this woman here is trying to give this certain brother a prophetic office.”“MAN WHO RAN MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR PONZI SCHEMESENTENCED TO FOUR YEARS IN FEDERAL PRISONNora R. Dannehy, Acting United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, announced that DALEL. GRAYBILL, 64, of North Haven, was sentenced today by Senior United States District Judge Peter C.Dorsey in New Haven to 48 months of imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release, foroperating a multi-million dollar Ponzi scheme in which he solicited investments for fictitious investmentprograms... GRAYBILL did not return the funds, but instead used the funds to pay his own personal expenses,including credit card bills, gambling expenses, and checks to cash.”LXXX
PLAN OF SATAN TO DESTROY MINISTER & CHURCHSo, I turned my back and left the country. Pastor George made no beans with that spirit. He exposed that spirit, and when he exposed that spirit, somehow or the other she realized that I had something to do with exposing her spirit. O, she turned into a beast overnight.Her husband was the treasurer who held all the church finances at his home. The pastor did not want that otherwise he would have had it in his basement, locked up. And she knew that secret that I never knew, because I never wanted to know where it was. I never saw one coin.And that woman turned into a raving beast, and she wanted to get at me, and I was quite in Trinidad, and she could not get a hold of me. So that woman thought that she was going to use this as a weapon to nasty my name.Friends, they were upset about my correction and Brother George’s correction of these women. And Dale was upset because his mother, Sister Graybill, was delivered from his resurrection heresy, and came to church and would not have much to do with him. So they intended to crucify Brother George and intended to crucify Bruce. So now, this was the plot.She being that instrument, the ringleader, and the one who planned everything, they contacted Dale who hated the church, and who was a rich man who had connections with the press and everything, and they got together, intending to get Bruce out of this country from preaching to you, get him locked up and bring down the church. That is wickedness, that is unrighteousness!So they brought back the money to the church, and he said, “I don’t want to be the treasurer again,” and he handed it over to Brother Howie and Brother George. (Much of the church finances were missing. It was later told Pastor Parylla that Mickey and others took the money.) Soon after that, they spread a rumour that the church was going to take that money and ship it to Bruce down to Trinidad, went and informed the police, and said that if the police did not move very quickly, they were going to lose that money. That is a money devil! And the government ordered the money to be confiscated, so six sheriffs went down there, confiscated the money, and put it in the bank. Dale, Lockrow, Mickey and the resurrection people were behind it, they wanted the church’s money. That is what Dale is paying for right now, for the love of money! So the case went on. So they intended to nail me properly.By that satanic plan, the pastor: George Parylla, ministers Carlton Mcgahee, Kenny McGahee and Deacon Howard Aitken were hauled to Court. The church of God at Connecticut was scandalized as a cult by the local media. Other backsliders of previous years were grouped together with this new group around the church. Some forced themselves into the service. They defied the pastors, saints and church regulations by their attendance. They hoped for a physical confrontation to file lawsuits against the deacons. The service was closed at intervals.I went to Connecticut in support of the church while the battles raged. Pastor George was mindful to put Graybill and others out, but I told him that God’s Word is stronger than such rebels, let them be seated. I looked Dale in his eyes, by God’s grace and the Holy Ghost. His countenance fell, his pride was humbled with bended head, and the Word cut through his rebellious spirit.LIES OF DALE GRAYBILL AND OTHERSThe newspapers picked up the scandal, and those make-believers told their lies about this “criminal” called, Bruce, took me and my family’s picture, put it on the television through New York as a dangerous criminal, one who is a Jim Jones, with six million people viewing that. They ran my name on the papers, one after the next. Dale, you are responsible for that! Lockrow received his share and he died of cancer! All those souls perished for coming against the Word of God, for their pride and their delusion and ambition!They said, “That money is our tithes and our offerings and we want it back.” The court considered that LXXXI
everybody who leaves the Catholic Church could sue the Catholic Church for the money they gave, and also the Lutherans and Methodist.” And they did not know what to do with that case. So it lingered on for two or three years and it was a lot of headache and a lot of trouble.So it was about three months after that happened, “The Bomb”-Trinidad newspaper picked it up and they blew that up into such a big thing. They put it on the headline there, “Jim Jones in Trinidad. It looks like Jim Jones never died in Guyana and he has reached down to Trinidad”, there is a dangerous commune in this country in Freeport, the place is Bethel, and there is a man called Bruce, he is a dangerous criminal, beware of him, he is expecting a shipment of gold and silver, he claims to be a prophet etc.Dale Graybill was on this program since 1981 to tell the world that I am a false prophet; both him and Gordon Lockrow. None of their carnal weapons have prospered up till now. When the devil is out for a man of God he will lie on him. The second thing he would do is put him into prison and thirdly he will kill him, if God permits him to do so. That was what the Devil did to Joseph. Were it not for God’s mercy, he would have died in that prison.SCANDAL - SOULS SAVEDAnd when that was published in Trinidad, some came to see this “Jim Jones” and they remained right there.” So instead of destroying God’s people, through all that nasty scandal, God sent people to believe the Word of God. It is a rebuke in the face of the devil? And that scandal on the papers never caused one person to leave this assembly because they knew it was a nasty, filthy lie. They even accused us of making pulls for money and using it for individual needs and not for the spiritual needs of the people.How many say, “Those are lies?” [Congregation shouts, “Lies!”] Lie of the devil! We make no money pulls here, we don’t even compel anybody to pay their tithes. You are a big liar! Everybody gets money in this church. Let me see your hands who gets free money in the church. [The entire congregation lifts their hands.] A bunch of liars! So these are excerpts from the newspapers.Now, I am saying that Dale Graybill was fully responsible for this, Lockrow was fully responsible for this, and Lockrow was trying to tack upon me, together with Graybill, that I believe that I am a prophet, from way back down there. They borrowed these lies from Macarthy Griffith, Kennedy Madray and Teddy, and propagated them and tried to fight me for all those years. After, the Lord gave us a word that we will prevail over him.WORD OF THE LORD – WATER BUFFALO BOUNDSo while in Connecticut, I was laying on Brother George’s bed, and towards the morning I dreamt that I was fishing in a pond. Suddenly a monstrous creature took my bait. I wondered what kind of fish that could be since the water was not very clear, but muddy. However, I pulled hard and was able to pull up the creature. Lo and behold it was a water buffalo. It attempted to go back into the water. Knowing that it was too strong to be held by my hands, I ran around a tree and wrapped the line around the tree tightly and the animal was bounded. I woke up and wondered about that dream. I told it to Brother George and he also wondered. But we suspected that it pertained to the existing church condition. I said, “It is the rich man and the Lord will bind him.” It had its fulfilment in a matter of weeks.Dale Graybill dropped a note in the plate. He said, “I will talk to you or Brother George.” I said, “Okay, we’ll see you on Monday night, come.” He said, “I want this matter settled, I want this money to be returned to the church. I am wrong in what I did.” I said, “Okay, you need to repent.” Oh it was a shocking thing, but the Lord had showed me that in that spiritual dream what would happen. I told Brother George about it, he said, “Yes, this is that dream fulfilled” and the Lord showed me how smoothly that thing was going to be settledLXXXII
out after a while. The man came there, with tears in his eyes. He said, “I repent this morning and I am going to return the money to the church and I am going to have this court case settled. I repent, I am wrong for doing what I did. I did that in anger.” And the money was returned to the church by the court. It rightfully belonged to the church of God. His accomplice in the matter, the treasurer, never repented. His whole family was destroyed spiritually, and he died not long after. When Dale and Lockrow saw that they were going to lose the case, he wanted to settle out of court.Now, hear the scheme of this thief. I am saying that Dale is a thief! They caused the church the problem, and then Dale, that money loving Satan, turned right around and told Brother George, “You will have to pay my lawyer’s fee of five thousand dollars,” after he caused that trouble. That is what you are paying for in jail right now! You may not believe that but God cursed you at that very moment and put you in jail today. Yes, robbed the church of five thousand dollars and some of you put your hands in the church funds and stole it before Lockrow brought it back to the church. You are a Judas! You have a Judas spirit inside of you!That old warrior, Brother George, would have fought him down to the last. He said, “Brother Bruce, this man caused me all that trouble and wants me to pay five thousand dollars, he is not going to get any money!” You are talking about an old battle axe. Only I could have calmed him down. I said, “Yes, yes, yes, Brother George, it’s a terrible thing that this man wants to do, but why all this running up and down in the court?” I said, “Remember Brother Branham won the tax case and then they said that they would settle for thirty thousand dollars, and Brother Branham paid it?” He said, “Yes!” I said, “Let us give him the five thousand dollars, he will pay for it someday.” With reluctance Brother George took out that five thousand dollars and paid it, and they returned the funds to the church after they stole what they wanted the first time.I am saying, “Dale, you are in prison for stealing, and the worst crime that you ever committed was to take that old man to court and take Brother Kenny to court, and take the others to court, for the church tithes and the church offerings. And when I challenged you and wrote you a letter and stated the mess that you caused on the newspapers against my name out of a lying tongue, you said it was the newspapers, it was not you. God will decide who did that and who was responsible.I wrote him a letter after he repented on the pulpit with tears. I said, “Who is going to clean up all this mess throughout America and throughout Trinidad? Why don’t you write a letter and let everybody know that that is not so and I was not going to receive any money.” He said, “Well, it was just the newspapers that did that.” Yes, but who was behind the newspapers? He was head and head with the news people. Being a businessman he had known them personally and he caused those things to be put in the newspapers and brought the church under persecution. The Lord sent him stronger delusion. He went out and married a backslidden woman, twice divorced, and yet claims to be born again and have a revelation of Christ and the message of the hour.Matthew 19:9 <... and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.>He still believes and is bewitched by that resurrection doctrine, though he is sitting in jail today, and from jail he wrote a thirty-three page letter concerning this resurrection doctrine. I was hoping that that jail sentence would help this man to humble his heart, but it did not. From prison he writes long letters teaching his cultish doctrines to a group of followers. I am going to address part of a letter that was written from prison by Dale Graybill. And why it is that this has become important is that I can see a greater delusion in the making that will go into public shortly, and it is called “The third Testament.” And God has allowed this letter to fall into our hands.“THE THIRD TESTAMENT” – SIN & IMMORALITY JUSTIFIED BY RESURRECTION HERESYNow, that “third testament” will be misrepresenting the Bible, misrepresenting Brother Branham, and misrepresenting your pastor, Brother Lambert. His name would be attached, together with Brother Branham’s,LXXXIII
and it will be misrepresenting you at G.C.C. and it will be misrepresenting the ministry that is now proclaiming the Word of God. I believe that the Lord sent that our way in order to counteract this “third testament” before it is launched.Both Dale and Jim project their teachings as “The third testament of the last days.” They presume that a special grace was given to them and their followers to commit sins of any kind and be justified in the sight of God. This includes sexual immoralities, cussing, smoking, gambling, stealing and lying. His beliefs are directly connected with the crimes he committed. He has no remorse and believes that he is in prison for righteousness sake. His letter, circulated to his followers, fully expressed this, and identifies him with Jesus Christ, and both Paul the apostle and Joseph in their imprisonments.Quote Dale’s letter: “The Lord allowed Joseph to be put in Prison... Also God allowed Paul to be put in prison and look at the letters that he wrote while he was there. So here I am in prison and yet I am free...We were reckless and impulsive... disobedient and unlawful. We were disrespectful to the ministers and elders. We refused to pay tithes. We couldn’t live the life required by the Law of the church and we totally disobeyed the Lord in that regard....We the sheep were scattered. We lived unholy lives and never went to church. We became outwardly worldly and cut our hair and watched TV. We smoked and drank and divorced our husbands and wives... Through all the sin and disobedience and disgrace we remained a virgin to God’s Word ... We rest completely in his grace and his life is growing in our souls... The Faith Seed of the New Birth has produced what the Scripture and the message predicted.”Now, the whole picture is that the trumpet which Jim Rosenberry is blowing is granting a certain grace. This grace is extended beyond the measure of every other age in any time in the Bible, to permit these people to live what they want and be born again for thirty-six years, live like a dog, do what they want and they are being matured, they are being perfected, the thunders are being revealed to them and they are ready for the rapture. I believe that is the heights of deception. It is blasphemy to take sin and unrighteousness and justify them in God’s Bible, the message, justify them in the name of Lambert and the name of Brother Branham, and claim to be going in the rapture.Romans 6:1-2 <... Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?> Now, this mystery that is coming out from under the trumpet is contradicting this scripture, because theyare saying, “Let us continue living in the world and grace will abound.” So in so many words, they are saying that they could live what they want, break the Word and live in unrighteousness, but they received a seed way down there and that seed that is inside of them is eventually going to perfect them. Now, that is contrary to Romans 6:1-2. We cannot be perfected by continuing in sin. Brother Paul said, “God forbid it!”Now, I have never heard of such blasphemy! The scripture tells what will happen to such people who want to walk in unrighteousness? When you want to walk in unrighteousness and do what you want, the Lord is going to send you strong delusion, that you will believe a lie and be damned by that lie.I want them to show me one group from Genesis to Revelation that became perfect by living unrighteous. Show me one example in the Bible where anybody applied that plan for their perfection. None of the apostles did.CORRUPT THE SEED BY SINNow, where did they get their scripture from for their doctrine? St. John 12:23-25. Let me see if this is a scripture here that permits us to sin.St. John 12: 23-24 <And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.LXXXIV
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.>This scripture they have used here to show that the Bride is a type of Christ, and if she is a type of Christ now, she is the corn of wheat that must fall into the ground and corrupt. So everybody who is born again and who received that seed way back down there in the seventies, they have to go down to Sodom and corrupt themselves. If you don’t get corrupted, you will abide alone. But if you get corrupted over there in Sodom, then out of that corruption life would spring forth from that corruption of adultery and fornication, and lying, and stealing, and all kinds of sins of Sodom. Now, tell me if that is not strong delusion? That is enough delusion to damn a man! This seed must corrupt! Isn’t that dumb, brothers and sisters? Is that scripture speaking of the Bride, brethren? [Congregation says, “No!”] Or is it speaking of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus? [Congregation says, “Amen!”] It is speaking of our Lord being crucified on the cross, and then after His crucifixion, then he arose from the dead and He brought forth much fruit, and the fruit is the Christian church.Brother Branham taking that and typing it to the Bride now, this is where he placed it. He never took that and placed that up here that you can go and live in sin and then become perfected. This is how Brother Branham typed that. He said, the Bride was the corn of wheat and she was martyred in the middle ages, and being martyred in the middle ages, she is now going to be restored and she came back through Luther, and through Wesley, and through Pentecost, and she is coming to perfection. These people took that and found a scripture where they can go and corrupt the seed over in Sodom and come back.When he had that case going on for a big money scam, we allowed this man to come to this tabernacle, in pity, in his sinful condition, hoping that he would repent and the Lord would soften his heart. But now he is sitting in jail, and instead of humbling himself, this man has written a thirty-three page letter to his people, stating his doctrine, praising Jim, and the summary of the letter is that Dalton Bruce is the son of perdition, he is the devil, the son of perdition. He further accused me of claiming to be the voice of the archangel.I wrote him a letter denouncing such as lies, and solicited the congregations at G.C.C. and Bethel to denounce the same. His accusations from the letter was read before both churches by the pastors, and all the ministers, elders, deacons and the entire congregations by a one hundred percent lift of hands denounced such accusations as lies. They were very disappointed and alarmed at such accusations, having sat under my ministry, some for almost forty years, and knowing my integrity and what I stand for.When I think of your deeds Dale, my faith grows very dim, very dim, and this letter that I have written to you is going to determine who you are, and who is the son of perdition, and who is the Judas. This is going to determine that in a few days time. But a booklet will be written in any case, and your name will be up on the internet as “Dale, the prisoner of Satan.” And also in that booklet there will be Jim and your resurrection group and your third testament that is about ready to be launched. It would have no place in the hearts of God’s children nowhere! In that third testament, this is the doctrine that they are going to bring out. And sooner or later they are going to launch the third testament with this resurrection doctrine, and it is a big secret.These men claimed to be born again. They are corrupting the seed. Jim’s wife was under so much pressure that she committed suicide. I am talking about “prophet” Jim, “the man that is blowing the trumpet.” Yes! I believe that was too much for his wife, and she committed suicide, and the group went down to Sodom to live in fornication, the women divorced and remarried. Yes! They claimed that they went out there drinking and smoking. Yes!So now, those are the two men who introduced that fellow, Teddy, down there in Trinidad, and he finished up the job. That man finished up the job there to destroy all those souls. I was opposing him from the pulpit and personally until he cuffed me on my shoulder, and spread all kinds of rumours, which I will tell you about a little later, and we had an open showdown, right in the church, and I believe that man had plans to take my life. Yes, that devil! I backed off from him, and the story went on for another five years, where this false prophet, seed of the serpent, Cain’s seed, working for five years amongst those people until he destroyed most of those souls.So now, the rest of it we will pick up on another night. But how many are enjoying this exposition? [Congregation says, Amen!”] Remember, out of all of this, we are laying emphasis upon when people hear theLXXXV
truth, how self and pride and ambition overtake them and they are led astray to destroy themselves and destroy many souls. These are living examples. So may the Lord bless your hearts. Let us all stand and sing a song.	[Congregation sings, “We are the people of the Lord.”]TEDDY, THE FALSE CHRIST AND FALSE PROPHETCHAPTER FIVEMatthew 24:23-28 <Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.Behold, I have told you before.Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.>May the Lord add a blessing to the reading of His holy words. Oh, I love that scripture. Yes! <For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.> And the carcase is freshly killed meat. Something that was just slain. Freshly killed meat. And that canbe no other than a fresh message coming in the end time by Malachi 4: 5-6. And the greatest carcase that was ever revealed today was from the opening of the seven seals. Where the eagles (the children of God) are gathered, wheresoever the carcase is, there will the children of God be gathered. So the true elect of God will be around the true revelation of the seals, the true revelation of the son of man. And wherever that is, it will be identified with the coming of the Lord. That is very plain scriptures. Wherever that carcase is, with all that the Lord spoke about the son of man coming as a lightning, and spoke of false prophets, He gave us an indication of where that coming of the Lord would be. And He said as the lightning flasheth out of the east. Another scripture says:Luke 17:24 <For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.>Yes! So Christ is coming from the eastern skies. Yes! And Malachi 4 was in the west. That is why he longed for the west. But I believe that the carcase of the full body revealed Word of God that came from the seals is located up here in New England. The world could think what they want, but Revelation 10: 1 was standing in the east, and the carcase came from the open book. So that is the carcase, and we are around that carcase, and wherever that carcase is, there will the children of God be gathered together. It is identified with the coming of the Lord.The Lord gave us a clear-cut picture of where the carcase will be, where the children of God will be waiting on His promise, and from all evidence that the message bears, from the seals and all what Brother Branham said, it is right up here in New England. This is the base of it. I don’t care how the church looks, I don’t care what trials they go through, I believe that it is coming out of New England. So we are thankful to the Lord.REVIVAL – I BELIEVE IT WILL START IN NEW ENGLAND Quote W.M.B.: E-3 ...and praying that sometime along this way, that something will happen to thepeople that'll set their hearts afire for God, that an old fashioned revival will break out in New England. It's LXXXVI
tried on the west coast; it's tried in the middle east, tried in the south, but seemingly that this is our last place to try: New England. Here's where our forefathers landed for this freedom of religion on Plymouth Rock. It is from these sacred soils here that praying men and women went forth to establish this great spiritual economy that we are privileged to serve today. No American could be ashamed of their forefathers who landed in this country, went to church packing guns, who came here for freedom of religion, went on horseback, covered in old wagons, fought the Indians and so forth, to get to go to church. Those bloods bathed this soil. If we'll be sincere and believe in the God that they believed in and serve Him with the same reverence that they served Him with, we'll see a revival again. And I believe it will start in New England. God's willing to do it if we're willing to carry it. (Tested Faith Produces Goods 58-0518).TEDDY THE FALSE CHRISTAnd tonight we are going to deal with something that is very touchy, but then we have come to that place. And I will speak to you on the subject of, “Teddy, The False Christ And False Prophet.” And many of you know this man or at least have heard of him, because he was numbered with this congregation at one time, and seemingly he was the most spiritual; yes, shouting and crying and ripping up the floor and pacing the floor, but I don’t think that many knew about the self and the pride and the ambition that was in that man’s soul. So pride, self and ambition, sometimes, are covered over by super-spiritual actions, and I think that those things in themselves hid the real purpose of this man.Teddy was a Yugoslavian. He claimed to have been an athlete. He was a huge chunk of a man, about six feet tall. The police said that he could have beaten three men at a time. Yes! So he was like his father Cain. Yes! So we are going to take a little look, not so much into the things that this man did, but we want to get an idea of what was in this human being that caused him to do what he did. He is of no threat to this church again. He cannot come here and deceive you and me. No, but again we are trying to build up on the subject of delusions: “Self and satanic delusions – pride, ambition and demon possession”, and they all relate to self. So this is going to serve as another example. That is why I want to bring this out to show you what was in that character, and what caused him to do what he did. And let this also stand as a warning to the message-world: all preachers, all men who claim to be following this message and this revelation, and who are identified with E.O.D.H., let it stand as an example of how great a distance that self and pride and ambition could lead a man, and into what delusion they can take such a man.So the extent of this great delusion that this man went into, did not pass off so easily as other false prophets who just arose and they were put out and then they went out and became vagrants, some of them got insane, went into the insane asylum and the majority of them died. This did not pass off that easily. But this is a good example to show you a man who contacted these spirits from hell, and has such an ambition and falls into such a delusion, when he succeeds in doing damage, it is going to serve as an example to show how much damage could be done to the souls of men and women. Yes!And this is to educate every one of us: both young and old; educate the entire world through this book, the entire world by the tapes, to educate them to understand how detrimental it is for anybody to arise and falsely claim that they are a prophet, Christ, son of man or whatever he wants to claim. Even an evangelist, even an apostle, even a teacher. The Bible said, “And there shall be false teachers among you.” So it is going to serve as an example, and while I minister the Word of God, you there in foreign lands, who are on the streaming and that will listen to the tapes and look at the DVDs, bear one thing in mind, and that is the title of this book that is now going to the public, which will be translated into several different languages. Bear in mind the opening message: “Self and satanic delusions – pride, ambition and demon possession.” It will show you the extent that a man could really reach.Right today, I had to write a letter to a precious brother in India, whom I love. I gave him seven days to denounce his false claims as Gabriel the archangel. Having heard this revelation for only a couple years, he got swellheaded. He was number one in everything, in the army, and immediately coming to this truth he gotLXXXVII
swellheaded, and from all evidence, he claims to be Gabriel the archangel. If he does not repent and come to himself, he might be one of the examples after sitting and hearing all that you are hearing. I even transcribed the message that I preached before on self and satanic delusions, and sent it personally to him. I said, “I have transcribed this message personally for you.” And with all of that he did not take heed. I trust that these messages will help this man. Yet a nice brother. Yes! But that is not all brethren. You have to humble your heart. Yes!I will be using some documentation from G.C.C. itself, so I would be sure to say things very accurately, and have many witnesses behind them. So this man sat in the congregation and he came in with his brother, John, and they sat quietly, just like the prophet said in Christ is the mystery of God revealed: Satan will bring in somebody, sit him down in the quietness of things and then shoot that guy with some poison stuff. He said take no side with it. (P. 12-1 Christ Is The Mystery 63-0728). And that is what you did, and that is why you are seated here today.So he sat there and everybody thought that he was getting all the revelation. Yes! Shouting in such a manner, screaming in such a manner that even spoilt many of the tapes. We hate to hear his voice on those tapes, knowing what he represents. He represents those demons from the Euphrates River. Yes! So he was anointed of the devil, and this is an example of how those devils from the Euphrates manifest. Yes!There is an example of a false prophet and false Christ that our Lord spoke about. There are so many here that I don’t think we would get them all, but we will get them one way or the other. Yes!PASTOR LAMBERT VISITS TRINIDADThe man of God, the great servant of God who uplifted the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the coming of Christ and another revival upon the earth; it so pleased him that he had need to pass by Samaria. Yes! So his first visit was in 1970 and that was the time that I met him, and he was very impressed with what I had to say and what I understood from his little conversation. However, the Lord commanded him not to preach in Trinidad, so he was not able to preach, though it was burning up in this man when I carried him to a certain church, it was burning up and he wanted just to let out what he had. So I gave him a little time to testify. So he testified, and I tell you, in ten or fifteen minutes he blast everything that was wrong, and he even said, “God will sink this filthy place here: Trinidad”, because a prostitute approached him in the hotel, and he was mad vex because of that. And there were other things that went with it. So he did not preach.Again, he came back in 1972, I believe it was in January. And then he returned again in July, and then he returned again in December. More and more revelation came out. And a great statement he used when he came there sometime in July, he said, “The hour is here.” And I understood that though the Lord did forbid him in the earlier times that he came to Trinidad, I understood that the Lord gave him permission to come this time.So we sat and we heard him, and it was very marvellous to hear those great and outstanding revelations, and several things happened. One outstanding thing that happened is that Mike Canada, his companion, was on the pulpit, and I was present there, and Mike Canada came up there to dismiss the service, and then suddenly we noticed that he was on the ground kneeling down in awe, fear and trembling. He could not even speak and then he beckoned to Brother Bob to come and take over the pulpit. So afterwards we understood that Mike Canada saw an angel of the Lord with his mouth opened, ready to speak, and we knew that something had happened because a great anointing went through the congregation. And there were some other things that took place in way of the supernatural anointing of the Holy Spirit.So the people responded with such a great response that it really overwhelmed Brother Bob, and he did not want to come back to you people. He wanted to stay in Trinidad. But afterwards he said, “I have a duty to perform. I am going back”, with the hope of coming back again in August of 1973. So these things he used to discuss some of them with me by letters mostly, because there were ambitious preachers who tried to cut me off from him because he was staying a good distance off. They tried to cut me off, wanting recognition with theLXXXVIII
man of God. I took the liberty to write to him and let him write to me. Those things, I still have them on letters. So he used to instruct me through letters. I did not even have a telephone to talk to him. So he returned home. This account here is saying that when he returned home he was much too tired to attend service:TEDDY’S DEMONIC ATTACK ON CHURCH“Brother Lambert and his family returned to Connecticut from Trinidad on the first of January 1973.Following the Wednesday worship service, Brother McGahee took his place at the pulpit and began to preach as he often had. Not long after beginning his sermon, a man called "Ted," considering himself to be "super spiritual" and having more understanding and revelation than others, but who, apparently, had begun to dabble in the occult, began to speak out and began pacing back and forth in front of the congregation. As he continued this under the influence of a spirit, he began to prophesy and to pronounce judgments on various people. Brother McGahee tried to persuade him to sit down and be quiet but he continued his tirade, shouting out, "Kill'em, Kill'em!" "You will pay!" and "You will be hungry by spring."Of course that was not the Holy Ghost. That could never be the Spirit of God. God does not ever come and threaten His children: “Kill them! Kill them! Kill them!” It sounds more like a murderous devil that is hungry for blood. That is what I could see.“When Ted would not stop, Brother McGahee dismissed the service and some of the people began to leave. Others however, remained, some out of fear and others to see what would take place. Some began to try to repent to Ted. He ignored some and "forgave" others. Many did not know what to make of this as they had considered Ted to be a spiritual man and feared to do or say anything that might appear to be in opposition to him.”So fear struck the congregation because many held him in high esteem. I believe that Brother McGahee, in wisdom, he did the right thing; he dismissed the service when he could not control this man. Some were shocked. One former sister said that she fled out of the service and ran home. Yes! So that was a personal testimony to me and she bore record of this incident. I hear some of you brethren are saying, “Amen!” You were present. And some were struck with fear, and they went to this man asking him for forgiveness because they considered him to be a mighty spiritual man. I believe some of those people afterwards became the resurrectionists, because they esteemed him to be a mighty spiritual man, even after Brother Bob was murdered.“The next three days were days of prayer and fasting, repenting and nervous anticipation for the elders and others in the assembly and for the pastor, Bob Lambert.”So Brother Bob came the next Sunday and calmed the storm. Yes! So he came there and spoke peace to the people, he spoke grace and he spoke mercy unto God’s people.“Brother Lambert prayed for the pastor and congregation, alike, and said, "Greetings to each and every one from your pastor, and mercy and Grace and peace unto thee from the Lord Jesus!" This was like a release to the people-a healing balm. Many recognized it as such and began to worship and praise the Lord.”I believe that was wonderful. This man and others used to behave very emotional. Now, I heard these things on the tape called, “Crucified In The Place Of A Skull;” and Brother Bob gave some instructions concerning song service and so on in another tape called, “Liberty,” if you are looking for that. But this is where he was setting the church in order from fanaticism that was coming into the church. All right! And he said that they don’t have to beat the pulpit, with other things.LXXXIX
FANATICAL WORSHIP“The physical demonstrations of many in the congregation continued and progressed to the point that Brother Lambert could no longer allow them to continue. In February, Brother Bob preached a sermon called "Crucified In The Place Of A Skull," on which he suddenly put a stop to all such nonsense saying that it grieved his spirit and he had suffered with it long enough. He did not mind the people saying "Amen," if they agree with the Word. This let him know that the people were still awake and listening.In his correction of the congregation, Brother Bob told them that their antics of making noise, jumping, etc. did not impress him and instructed the people to "read the sign" (A sign hanging from the ceiling in front of the pulpit that reads, "Be still and know that I Am God" -Ed.). He said that he wanted the "quality of the Holy Spirit" in the service and that "there is more power in quietness than jumping and noise." Further, he said, "Watch for judgment. Just love everyone. You might be heading for a fall." Some, including the East European, apparently took offense and he began to absent himself from many services.Brother Bob wanted the people to be free to worship the Lord and to respond to the preaching of the Word. At the same time, he did not want to see the people become lopsided in their worship, allowing the flesh and carnal impersonations to overcome true worship. All true worship must be sincere. He often made a comment like, "Don't jump any higher than the life you live."In his extensive travels he had seen many instances of insincere worship that had gotten people in trouble with the Lord. In the local assembly a woman once came to visit from another state. As the people were worshiping and praising God, she began (as he described it) to try to climb a steel pole (a structural support for the building). Before the next service, the Lord revealed to Brother Bob that the woman was living in adultery with a man who also was visiting at the time. He immediately confronted them and sent them home.”Do you know that some started that in Trinidad soon after that? Beating the pulpit, yes, and beating the piano, here at Connecticut. It was reported to me that one ran to the wall and took down the picture. Yes! And loud shouting, stamping of feet. One brother complained to me that his foot was in the way and that mule almost crushed his foot. Yes. So much revelation. If that was the Holy Ghost it would be supreme power in control. Jesus was the most anointed man and I never heard of Him crushing anybody’s foot. The Bible says, “And He opened the book and read and He went and sat down.” Supreme power in control, Brother Branham called that. I believe in “amen,” and I believe in emotion. I believe in dancing. I believe in shouting. I believe in praising the Lord. I believe in noise under the power of God, but then it should not go out of control. Brother Bob held that same line and I adopted that same principle because he was my pastor and it worked out well for us.So he was intending to stop all this fanaticism, and on that tape he put a stop to it and explained to the people that he did not mind anybody rejoicing and praising the Lord and saying “amen,” but such worship must not go into fanaticism. Yes.Now, maybe many of you do not understand this but this church, the older folks, old timers saw the fanaticism that went on with shoutings, and praising, and glorifying, and beating the pulpit and the piano, and stamping on the ground that ate away the rug where that animal was seated. That man could have cried at will.Now, after such demonstrations and what it resulted into, it put a cold blanket upon the rest of the congregation to confirm the Word with “amen.” It bounded their spirit from dancing. It bounded their spirit from worshipping freely because many thought that they did not want to behave like Teddy. Now, we should have stayed on the middle line and let the Lord lead us in the way that He wants us to worship. So we should not be affected by that. I believe that everybody should be at liberty to worship in the way that the Lord wants them to worship. Yes! One would be quiet, another would cry, another would say “amen,” and the other one over there would behave a little more emotional, but I believe that we should worship the Lord. Yes!And anybody who is emotional on the outside but not emotional in the church, something is wrong with their spirit. Those same people who say that they are not emotional so they don’t say “amen” and they don’t praise the Lord, on the outside, my, you could hear them, they are very emotional. So then, something is wrong with that. And the difference with that is that such people could be in a Laodicean condition. From the time theyXC
backslide they go and dance, and they could bawl and stamp their feet at the fireworks and join the ungodly people.So Brother Bob was not impressed with all the fanaticism, but he was impressed with true worship, and we keep that on that line.DEVIL MOVES WITH A SPIRITUAL MAN“There were some in the Durham assembly who considered "Ted" a spiritual man. When Brother Lambert put a stop to Ted's irreverent activities, that should have served as a warning to all. Brother Lambert had told the congregation more than once that if he began to pull back from a man, they should take notice and begin to pull back also. Instead, some seemed to hold "Ted" in the highest regard.”So this man, with all the carrying on, he was viewed as a mighty, spiritual man. Now, don’t forget that Brother Bob said, “When the devil moves, he will move with a spiritual man.” Yes! So hear how this spiritual man took this correction. He was very upset because he was the one beating the piano and the pulpit. He was the one who was making noises. He was the one who was prophesying and running up and down the aisle, stamping and carrying on. That was not the Spirit of God. It was the devil upon him. Yes! A selfish, proud, ambitious devil was upon this man.And here was that resurrection group not knowing that they will follow a cult and make a cult of this message and this revelation, sitting right there with pride, self and ambition. All right! So here was a group that was sitting with the same qualities as this man.After this correction, he did not take that lightly. So you watch for pride, self and ambition, they carry anger with them; they carry malice; they carry hatred. Yes! And no matter how spiritual people look, when they start contending against one another for natural things: who has the best car, who has the best shirt, who could sing better, who could play the instrument better, and who has the best job and who is making more money, and who knows more about cars and airplanes and scientific discoveries, your heart is in the world yet, and you will get into confusion with one another. Youths or adults, don’t matter who you are, you are going to get into confusion. Yes! And even after the service is finished, instead of meditating on the Word of God and thanking God for His grace, when people get in the natural and start getting into conflicts with one another, brother, they never experienced the Spirit of the Lord and the Word did nothing for them.For you to be born again, you must change that attitude. The problem is not that the brother offended you. The problem is not that somebody does not like you. The problem that is involved is that there is self down in your soul. Yes! And if you don’t understand self, it means: show-off, boastfulness, pride, self-exaltation. You will always get in conflict trying to rise above each other, rise above your brother, rise above your sister: who has the prettiest dress and who has the longest hair and who has the best job. You are nothing. You have to realise that you are nothing and you are a sinner saved by grace. And that is who the Lord could save.The Lord could save a man who just believes that he is not even worthy to be here, he is not even worthy to sit in the congregation. “I am not even worthy to walk up to the minister.” My beloved, that is humility that God has given to that man or that woman. There are more chances for that person to be saved than the brightest fellow who came from the biggest college and thinks that he is somebody and thinks that: “because of my goodness, I am here today. I never used to do this, and I never used to drink, and I never used to smoke and that is why the Lord loves me and called me to the truth.” No sir! You are finished. You have to see yourself as nothing. And when you start seeing yourself as so undone, sometimes you cannot even believe the grace of God that came to you. “Why me? Why me? I don’t understand, why me?” Just accept it, just believe it and the Lord will take care of you. Some people are so tender in heart and mind.XCI
ENCOUNTERS BEFORE MARTYRDOM“That "Ted" had begun to think more of himself than he ought to think began also to be evident. One sister, Graybill witnessed an event that should give pause to any who held Brother Bob's ministry in any degree of esteem. One day she saw Brother Lambert and "Ted" in what appeared to be a heated conversation behind the church. She also witnessed "Ted" pointing and waving his finger in Brother Bob's face.”Our sister who has gone on: Sister Graybill, she told me personally; “Brother Bruce, I saw something before the death of Brother Bob, and I want to let you know. And that is, behind the church, Teddy had his hand up in Brother Bob’s face, and there was an argument going on, and as if he was threatening Brother Bob. And this man was shouting and both of them were conversing, and I saw that, and I looked at it and I turned away.” So it was a heated argument.Now, watch at how this devil is going to move now, how self will move, how pride will move. A little brother whom you think just got a little mixed up and there is a little difference in doctrine and attitude, and probably he got a little angry. Something is causing this man to get angry. Something is causing him to behave like that. That is down on the inside. The soul down on the inside is not right. How could you walk up and put your hand in the servant of God’s face, in your pastor’s face who is trying to correct you? You are full of pride, full of self, full of ambition, you have no respect for that shepherd.Do you know what was pushing out all of that? Because this man conceived that he was a prophet, and a little pastor like that should not correct him. In other words; “You don’t know who you are talking to. You don’t recognise me. If you had revelation you would know that I am a prophet sitting in the congregation.” You are a devil! That is what you are. Yes!“On another occasion, Brother Bob and another minister were talking to "Ted" in Brother Bob's camper truck close under Brother McGahee's window in Durham. The discussion was heated and there was some shouting going on. "Ted" evidently believed he was a prophet and the two ministers were trying to dissuade him of his ideas. Brother Bob told another young man, now a highly regarded minister of the message of Brother William Branham, "That's the worst spirit I ever had to deal with."Now, when a pastor could say that about anybody, it is a terrible thing. And God has taken that young man who was just about twenty years of age, and has made him the pastor of this church. He never accepted the resurrection doctrine, he never accepted Teddy, but the Lord led him right to stay with the Word of God, and when truth came his way he accepted that. He had a different foundation.“On yet another occasion, in the spring of 1973, "Ted" met another brother going home from work one day, and while driving, signalled him to pull over. "Ted" got into the man's car and talked for about forty-five minutes trying to persuade him that Brother Bob had sinned greatly and, therefore, would have to be "crushed like a rose."LAMBERT IS MURDEREDThat snake! So, you don’t know when the Lord is going to call you home. But this was the last day for God’s servant on earth. On the Wednesday night he preached on, “The Days Of Noe,” and he denounced that murderous spirit of Judas and said that those spirits are still here on the earth today. That was his last message. Little did he know that was his last message. Little did the congregation know that was the last message that the pastor would preach to them.XCII
“On Thursday, Brother Bob returned home for supper and afterward, probably around nine o'clock to nine-thirty, he and his wife walked to the state park, walking the one hundred yards or so to the entrance. They walked on to a concrete walkway that terminates in an overlook of the waterfall. In earlier times, there was a mill that took advantage of the falling water.The area was and is mostly surrounded by trees, and the moon was only about three days past the "new moon" phase and was behind the trees. Therefore, the evening was quite dark. After a time, they turned and started to walk away from the falls. Suddenly, without warning, an assailant, a seed of Cain, hit Brother Bob beside the head with a sharp instrument. As he raised a hand to ward off further blows, the assailant struck again, severing a finger and felling him to the ground.”Now, that is how far pride, self, ambition, satanic delusions, and being anointed by the spirits from the Euphrates River could take a man. And another thing that we can learn here is that is how much the Lord might call on any one of us to pay for the Word of God, the price that we might have to pay, without telling us about the very day or the very hour that it is going to happen. The sudden trial, and the great price was paid. We don’t know, but the servant of the Lord left something behind that will save millions of souls.“The spot at which he fell was at the top of a steep pathway that led to the pool below the falls. Brother Bob's body apparently rolled or was dragged down this pathway to a point about half way to the pool. The assailant struck him several more times causing irrecoverable injury to his head.”From one statement that I heard, it was about ten blows; trying to chop off this man’s head. What a terrible experience for the church of God. Children who were not yet born, children who had never experienced that, people who don’t know how it feels; you can only imagine, that your pastor preached to you last night, and on Thursday evening you heard that he was murdered, laying dead. What a feeling! What a terrible feeling! Now, we could only imagine. Only those who loved the servant of God and were taking it for granted that he would be here always, only they knew how they felt. What a great loss.I was not around. I was three thousand miles away back home, and when I heard that, it affected me so much and it only took the Lord to comfort me immediately. Something said, “The reason for this is to show who are Bride and who are not the Bride. To show who is following the flesh and who is following the Spirit. Immediately! Yes! And I told the men there, “This is a great mystery to be understood.” It affected his children. It affected everybody who loved Brother Bob. And that pain of the heart, brethren, after so many years, from 1973, up to today that pain still lingers in the hearts of people who loved him. Yes! It is a terrible thing.“At the hospital, the brethren waited in the emergency waiting area hoping for news that Brother Bob still lived, although Brother McGahee knew that it could not be so. The various families of the church were called for prayer. After a time, Brother Renner called Brother Bob's minister friends in Indiana and Georgia, requesting prayer. In the early morning hours their fears were confirmed. Brother Bob was no longer with us and the police had launched a full-scale investigation into the murder of the man who had become the first martyr for the end time Gospel message of Brother William Marrion Branham.”AFTER LAMBERT’S DEATHBut he is alive, running around on his two feet, healthy and happy. His work is finished here on earth until the trumpet sounds and the dead in Christ shall rise. He is not coming back here with any kind of ministry. Brother Branham is not coming back here in any kind of ministry. When God finishes with a man, He puts him in the grave. Yes! And he himself preached those things.There was one or two things that happened around that time. Now, the police were in contact with me through Brother Carlton McGahee, because they chose him to help search for this criminal, this murderer, andXCIII
they knew that this murderer belonged to the church. So I had to answer some questions by way of Brother McGahee. The police asked me all about this man and his visits to Trinidad, “his location, who he is with, what is he doing, what is his next move?”, and different things like that. And I filled out that form and sent it back to Brother McGahee.Well, after a long while, the police escorted Teddy out of that country. He stole thousands of U.S. dollars from the people. That is just jumping ahead a little.But to show you how this devil will work; he claimed to have been a eunuch. And this is the findings of the police. The police found that he was not a eunuch and was healthy as any other man. They did tests on him. They found out that he was a schizophrenic. That’s a man who is mentally troubled, a coldblooded murderer. They found out that he was strong enough to beat three men. They also found out that he was living with a woman in an apartment. Mr. and Mrs. Schulze. They also found out that in that apartment, there were candles burning for some kind of ritual, and the carpet was burnt right down on spots where the candle stayed there too long. That gave us an idea that that man was involved in some kind of witchcraft, or the occult, or a cult of some kind.This woman was living in adultery with this man all along. Certain people were reproached, and paid heavy prices for seeing what they saw and maybe talking, because this was unimaginable that this man and woman could be living in adultery.She later claimed concerning the murder of Brother Bob that she was an unwilling accomplice. I don’t believe that there was anything like an unwilling accomplice. I believe it was a planned murder. That wicked adulteress, filthy, nasty woman, living with this beast like Eve, and was carried away with the beast; plotted this thing against Brother Bob. Now, to pacify her conscience, she is talking about an unwilling accomplice. That was not unwilling. That is only a psychological word put there in front of that. She is guilty of murder, the very same way that that man is guilty of murder. And all who had known that and agreed to that are murderers. Filthy devil!The police also found out that there was a missing hatchet from Brother Bob’s house, and likely that was the instrument used to kill the man. And it was also found out that this man used to frequent the brother’s house. This beast, this Cain seed used to frequent this man’s house.I had another witness who came to me, who said that after this murder, Micky Lockrow said, “I am a witness that this man had his head upon this woman’s chest in a room, alone, and I happened to go in there by mistake and saw what I saw.” That woman was Mrs. Schulze with Teddy.MAIN MURDER SUSPECTNow, that was the evidence that the police gathered. After a while they dropped the case and they did not want to charge the main suspect, who was Teddy, because if they charged this main suspect and they did not find an “I saw” witness to say, “I saw him do so and so”, the case cannot come back up again. So the police left the case opened. They said, “If it is a hundred years from now that they get an eyewitness they would bring that devil to justice.” So they are always on his trail. Yes! And even though the police do not solve that matter, brothers and sisters, the Lord will. The time is coming. And if the Lord wanted that to be solved, He was big enough to have it solved. Yes! I believe it was for many good reasons.So he was the number one suspect in the murder of Brother Bob. Teddy was the number one suspect whom the police had. There were other people who were questioned but he was the main suspect.All right! Now, watch this devil how he moves. Now, a devil like that, that is filled with self and pride and ambition, is jealous, is envious, is hateful, full of bitterness and could kill you. Now, this is not farfetched. Did you notice the Pharisees and the scribes? They were the ones who sent Jesus to the cross. They were full of jealousy, full of hatred. So you don’t trust a man who wants to be a great something that God never made him. There is a spirit in this man that could kill you. You don’t get into arguments with them. They are jealous, they are hateful, they are murderous, they are violent. Learn this over there, my beloved brothers and sisters. If a manXCIV
wants to think he is a prophet, he is a great evangelist, he is a great apostle and you try to persuade him once or twice, leave the man and let him go. Don’t get into any arguments with him, don’t rile up his spirit, he could kill you. Leave him alone. Let him go and find his own church, open up his own church, let him lead who he wants.Okay! So this murderous spirit was not satisfied with what he did here. He wanted new grounds to work. When a fellow rises up in the House of God, he is looking for new grounds to work. Yes! Brother Bob was preaching to a bunch of ministers and exposing all of them and challenging them on their revival and on their baptism and on their birth. I was right there sitting down. Ministers, most of them, song leaders. One fellow smoking cigarettes and he was leading songs. When he heard Brother Bob he quit leading songs. And I came outside and I said, “Brother Bob, why do all these preachers just find themselves over here in Trinidad? There is a great number of them coming here every month, every two months, passing through the States, coming through Miami and they flood this country? And he said, “They are looking for new grounds to sow their seeds.” And this is exactly what happened to this man. He was not satisfied over here, so in 1974 he came to Trinidad, and who brought him there was the resurrection group.In my former message I said that Jim and Dale brought Teddy there, and introduced him to the ministers. We had not known Teddy, nobody had correspondence with him, nobody knew if he was living or dead. These men brought him there and introduced him as a super-spiritual one. Yes!He came to Trinidad in 1974 with the resurrection group, who defended him of his accusations. He took cover under their doctrine, until he gained influence and full control over those deluded ministers and church members and, like a python, squeezed the life out of sincere people who had survived the resurrection deception.So what I am saying is that there came a time that this man wanted new grounds, and about that time the resurrection group arose amongst the people of God. They were causing great havoc, and now, they were looking up to Teddy as a super-spiritual man, and then he was looking for cover. He was the last man who would want to see Brother Bob raised from the dead. But he took cover under the resurrection group; and under this resurrection group the adulteress that he was living with accompanied him to Trinidad too, and was shouting down the place: “Amen, praise God!” I knew that something was wrong with that spirit, because she was jumping up and shouting out of time when I was preaching. I don’t like to judge things before the time. No! I always wait and give people a long time. I like to assess things the right way and give to people a lot of mercy and grace. I like to hear them out. So that is what I did.Now, these people were protecting this devil, this Cain’s seed. Yes! Certain things happened there that looked very fishy. The woman left her little girl in Trinidad and went up to Tobago with him alone, though others went on the trip, yes, and we became very suspicious.That false prophet and false Christ has a personality like that of the pope—gentle, smooth and tender and cries at will. In many ways his nature and personality blended with Macarthy’s. That man must have cried barrels of tears. In many ways his nature and personality blended with prophet Macarthy’s. He is the same kind of a natured person. A nice personality. He would go to any extent to help anybody. And he himself had self and pride and ambition that I was seeing manifested.This convinced the pastors and the congregation that he (Teddy) had the seven virtues; the divine nature of Christ. They told me that personally, that this man has grown up into the stature of a perfect man. I could not accept that because of some conversations I had with this man.TEDDY VERSUS THE WORDI will slip in here my encounter with this man. He knew that I was not accepting what he was saying. So he met me at a certain place, near the airport and he was trying to convince me. He pulled me aside trying to convince me. And because I would not say “Amen” to what he was saying, we were very close standing right at a pool of water. The place was lonely. And I saw something come up there in that man for not accepting what he was saying. His eyes became red, his face became furious, that if that man had that chance, he would haveXCV
killed me right there. From the time I saw that, I said, “This is a murderous devil on this man”, not knowing the extent of what the police found out.On another occasion, I went down to a certain church. He said, “I want to talk to you”, and it was night time, and he took me for a walk down a lonely road in the dark, where there were no street lights, and he kept walking with me. I kept on going, and he was trying to convince me of his doctrine. So after a while I said, “It is time to go back.” I turned right back and went right back to the service. That devil! So he fooled the people with his personality, his put on or whatever, and he deceived them.This convinced the pastors and the congregation that he had the seven virtues, the Divine nature of Christ. In addition to that, he was proclaimed by many, and introduced himself, as a Eunuch. He deceived them, since they had no revelation of Christ and did not hear His Voice from the opening of the seals. Thus, they followed a stranger and the gates of hell prevailed over them because they were not built upon the rock of Divine revelation of the Son of Man. I discerned and denounced him as a false prophet and anti-Christ after he tried to convince me about his doctrines on three occasions.They were going to fight me now. Teddy was this devil that was going to fight me through these ministers now, so they spread a rumour that I believe that I am a prophet.In a church meeting, I took the liberty to denounce lies that I claim to be a prophet and other statements. That false prophet stood up and tried to oppose him. He was put down in a few minutes, but he was determined to prove those accusations right, to discredit me. After the service, he tried to convince believers who were loyal to me that they do believe me to be a prophet. Brother Ramkumar was one of them. He failed miserably, and afterward came outside and met me and he was talking to me, and he said, “I am rough and I am tough” and started cuffing me on my shoulder. Yes! So he did that several times.So after a while I had a different service. We were not yet separated from them. We were still trying to help them, still trying to maintain unity. So we opened up for service one day, it was at a home, and I noticed that a bunch of deacons came, the three ministers who were following Teddy came, and a bunch of their believers came very early. So it made me wonder what was going on. So they came to the service and sat down. They had their plans to break up the service and try to “expose Bruce.” I guess they needed the exposing. So at the end of the service I was going to dismiss the service. So each one of them sat there. I tell you, that Word came like a sword. And the message I was preaching was “Spiritual Warfare.” That Word cut through all of them.So when I dismissed the service and I opened my eyes, I saw Macarthy there standing up. He said, “I would like to speak to the people.” I said, “You want to speak to the people?” I said, “My service is dismissed.” He said, ‘But I do allow you to speak on my pulpit so I have to speak to the people, because I have my people here too.” I said, “Take your people, go elsewhere and talk to them, this service is dismissed.” I tell you, a commotion broke out. Macarthy got me by the shoulder. I had lost my reflexes a long time, to hit back and so on. Back in those days he could not have done that. He would have gotten a right hand under his jaw before he could have made another move. Yes! But I lost all of that for Christ’s sake.The different believers who came with him, every one of them had something to say: “You are a false prophet. You are preaching by psychology. You are anointed by the devil!” I am talking about a commotion inside of the house. I told the owner who was Brother Danny Rambarran, a precious man, I said, “Put them all out.” He said, “Brethren, get out! Go out, leave!” He said, “Go!” So they went out in the yard and they had a big commotion going on. Quiet, little brothers who use to hardly have a voice, those devils anointed them. You talk about devils anointing these bunch of people. I walked up to Kennedy, I said, “You are in a delusion of the devil!” He said, “Okay brother. Thank you, thank you!” Now, Kennedy was a very humble boy, a very nice person, bust just deluded.And different ones started carrying on: “False prophet!” Jeering, laughing, carrying on. Yes! I said, “Okay, I am leaving.” They tried to block my car. I said, “I am leaving. If you could move anyone of these people off the Word of God, I leave them in your hands, go ahead. Not one of them moved. They were ashamed and they went their way. Now, those are the kinds of battles we went through, and those are the kinds of things that this man injected in those people. The same violent spirit.XCVI
Now, this man came and he influenced all of those ministers, all of those people. By this time, he influenced them so greatly that they turned away from the resurrection doctrine, but they carried over some of the teachings under Teddy. They accepted Teddy as the Christ.There was something in-between here that was going to foster this move of the devil to destroy those hundreds of souls, and this is what it is:JOYCELYN: TEDDY’S BRIDEIn the midst of all of these deceptions was Kennedy’s sister, Joycelyn, who was considered a highly spiritual woman by her brother and several believers. She was greatly responsible and worked along with the false prophet that destroyed three churches. She was troubled by an evil spirit, which the first martyr observed, after such was pointed out by me. She later became demon possessed.I am showing you how devils are meeting devils, and how devils unite themselves to destroy souls.That spirit tried to destroy me by hearing slanderers and slandering me to her brother Kennedy to divide our fellowship. The Holy Spirit brought that out from the pulpit one night and that woman shivered in her booths. She wanted to know how I knew that. She ran inside and locked herself and got nervous. She had a devil.Now, in my preaching, I actually built that work. Myself and another minister started off that congregation. It went on for several years and then I turned that congregation over to Kennedy Madray as an exhorter. But I used to run the church.And one night I was preaching and that woman started screaming one night in the meeting and I left the pulpit and walked right over and laid hands upon her and prayed. She said, “Oh, oh, why are you praying for me?” I said, “You have a devil”. So to confirm that I said, “What did you see?” She said, “I saw a snake just now, wriggling in front of me, and that is why I was screaming. ” She said, “That snake is just moving up and down in front of me.” I said, “You have a devil”. And that woman had that devil and never purged that devil out because she always wanted to rule her husband and she had her husband like a football.I watched that devil and I knew that if that devil got away it would rule the church. I knew it, way back there. God’s servant had not yet come on the scene and that devil was upon that woman when she tried to cut and divide. But that preacher was smart enough. I told him the Word of God and he rebuked her. He rebuked his mother and our friendship remained. That same devil, after a while, turned back to divide our fellowship. Just one woman, one woman, just trying to be spiritual and ruling her husband. She knew that she should not be ruling her husband.Now, do you know that a spirit is upon that woman who tries to rule her husband, and it will try to rule the pastor and try to rule the church. That woman had that devil, and here the man of God Lambert came down and confirmed it. He walked around that woman and said, “Sister, there is a spirit around you, it’s a nervous spirit.” And every time the presence of the Lord came, that woman would start crying out and screaming. Now, I never felt that was the Lord upon that woman. I always thought that was the same demon that was screaming two years ago. I knew, that devil was upon that woman.So when the man of God came down there and was preaching, she was sitting right up front. And when the presence of the Lord would come, this woman would start screaming, crying out and bawling at the top of her voice, and then it would cause a chain reaction. People who were sitting behind her would start screaming, women behind there would start screaming until it went right down to the end of the church. So I could not feel very good, because I knew what used to cause that woman to scream at the top of her voice and start shaking. Besides that, I had dealt with a devil that was upon one of her relatives who used to have that devil upon her.She was accepted by those preachers to be a super-spiritual one. They followed her dreams, nervous impulses and other experiences, which played an important part in most of the deceptions and delusions in which they were engaged.She took a leading role in controlling the people’s lives, and as such caused many to leave the assembly. She also set the pace for the dressing of women, from established modest dressing to immodestly tight clothing.XCVII
And when war broke out, that was the very tool of the devil that was associated with that false prophet and false christ-Teddy. They associated together and those two spirits blended together insomuch that she later became his chief bride. That false prophet said, “This is my spiritual Bride and we are spiritually married.” And he sent out the husband to work taxi and he stayed at home. He was spiritually married and a eunuch. They came to find out that that was a different type of eunuch. That was a eunuch that was planting his own seed. And that woman was the very instrument that was responsible, with that false prophet in destroying three churches. Just that one woman.Those three churches that were destroyed by the instrumentalities of the resurrection doctrine and the false christ and false prophet, Teddy, were only in Trinidad. There were two others that were going to be destroyed, and that was one in Guyana and one in Suriname. I was connected with every one of those churches. I laboured for years in Guyana and laboured in Suriname. God has given me a little congregation, after all that was done, there was a faithful few who stood with the Word of God, and now we have a sizeable gathering following the Word of God. Yes!So he was a spiritual eunuch and spiritual sons were born out of that dumb union, who are now back in the world. She yet plays an important part in the affairs of that church, through the ministers, to lay members. Such heresies cannot perfect the Bride for the rapture.Okay, this is where Mr. Teddy used to stay.SOUL MATING HERESYThe home of the super-spiritual woman and her husband was the main place of abode for the false christ. This man was staying right in that home, united with that woman. That was his spiritual wife. That is how far self, pride, ambition and delusion could take somebody. He left him right in the house there and went to work, thinking that he was a eunuch, and he was very Christ. Well, what sin “Christ” could commit? Christ cannot commit sin. He is sinless.His office, where he interviewed the women alone, was a bedroom and the church that they closed down was attached to the house. From there he read the "Bible in the heavens" and gave them the interpretation, which they believed faithfully by the influence of their ministers. They separated husbands and wives from all intimacy, (That is Teddy together with the ministers) and commanded them not to come together until he had the consent from God by seeing it in the skies. Several women grew lonesome and had nervous breakdowns. They were guilty of some immoral acts. These included two pastors’ wives. Since Macarthy’s wife no longer follows the message, this disqualifies him as a minister because he is yet married to her, but he has returned to the pulpit-- after five years of closing down his church by the command of the false christ.The false christ, with the three ministers, preached and established many heresies and subjected the innocent people to many unscriptural practices. They introduced the “soul-mating” heresy doctrine; certain women became “spiritual brides” and sons were born from their spiritual union. The super-spiritual woman was the chief bride of the false christ. Her spirit blended readily with the spirit of the anti-Christ, because she was demon possessed. Witnesses detailed their close communications, which resembled that of a husband and wife. They are too personal to include in this brief report. However, the ministers and believers accepted him as the Christ in His second coming from under the seventh seal and the seven unknown thunders. Several men left him with their wives in a room alone. Others left him in their homes and went to work because he was Christ to them, a natural and a spiritual eunuch—until a sex scandal came out of such dumb and ignorant beliefs and practices. Kennedy, the pastor, confirmed these and other things to his deacon, who has since then denounced those ministers and their doctrines. He and his family fellowship at Bethel. That is Brother Lloyd Lalla. He was a deacon of that church, and he knows these things.XCVIII
REVELATION TO KILLThe deception that the people were subjected to climbed higher and higher into unbelief, infidelity and the heights of demonic realms. They were taught that the Bible, which the Bride should be reading for this age, is the one in the heavens; that the written Word has lost its meaning and that the message of Brother Branham was for the church ages. They were also taught that the preaching of Brother Lambert was false, and of the anti- Christ, and that he was a “blue-eyed monster and needed to be killed.” Certain Scripture references were given to prove this special revelation from God to the false Christ who also indicated, in no uncertain terms, that he was used of God to do this great service.Now, these preachers started to run for their lives after a certain time, and one claimed that Teddy tried to push him off a big rock into the ocean. Alright, this is where self and satanic delusions will lead.He previously gave a different revelation that Brother Lambert was supposed to be killed and be crushed like a rose to give forth his fragrance to the church. They were taught that, since the Word and the message were not applicable to the Bride age, they no longer needed the books and tapes of Brother Branham or Pastor Lambert. They were taught that the church ages would be closed in 1977 and there was no need to be assembled and conduct religious services. They closed their three churches and sent the people to live their own lives. The people understood that they were to go and “corrupt the seed.” This also was a doctrine that, if they were truly born again, their seeds must corrupt like a natural seed and then bring forth life and perfection, because a spark of life is in them from their birth. Many went to Sodom to corrupt the seed, others to India to bow before Sai Baba, a Hindu philosopher who claims to be the reincarnation of Christ and all the Hindu gods, some are yet his faithful disciples, except two, who were miraculously delivered by the Lord. They with their children now fellowship at Bethel.Brethren, this is not some story that was fabricated. There are witnesses of all kind. The evidence is there. Again I refer to ambition and pride, and to the extent where such ambition and such pride could carry men. And when an ambitious man is used of the devil, he will find other ambitious men who will accept his thoughts, his ideas, his interpretations, his heresies, and there will be a following. Anything that a man preaches, he will at least get one person to follow him. Even though he preaches that the devil is God, there is somebody somewhere to say, “Amen!”The false christ interpreted the sign of Scorpio, the tail of the scorpion with the poison, to be me who had denounced him as anti-Christ, and the head of the scorpion to mean Carlton McGahee the pastor and retired U.S. Air Force Major who expelled him from the church in Connecticut, U.S.A. He portrayed himself as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the second coming of Christ who, alone, had the ability to read the Bible in the heavens and interpret the mysteries of the seven thunders. The preachers were obliged to stop preaching for this and several other reasons.I visited Kennedy Madray at his home after the church was closed down, and tried in love to turn him away from his errors and desired of him that he repent for the ungodly commotion at my church with the other ministers.He refused to repent. That man was so blind until he started to misbehave when I tried to persuade him that he was wrong, and he should not follow that doctrine and he was wrong in closing the church. So that is where I found out from his very lips, the doctrine that he really believed.But to let you know how far pride and ambition, self and delusions could take a man. Now, I am not saying that Macarthy was a bad man or bad- spirited fellow, neither was Kennedy. I cannot say that they were bad spirited fellows. They were regular fellows just like the brothers who pay respect and who say, “Amen” to the Word and support it. But when a devil starts moving brethren, it changes you overnight when you become demon possessed, and that is what happened to those fellows. Yes! Up to this time I have not the slightest hatred nor malice nor any such things against those men. I wish for their deliverance, but it looks very narrow.I spoke to him for about three hours. He was against a shop wall, a building. So I spoke to him from one corner, and he would rub his back against the wall until he reached the other end. I gave him more gospel andXCIX
he would rub his back on that wall and reach the other end, until three hours passed, but I was laying down the Word for him, and saying, “You are deluded brother. Change that course”, but he could not see it.THE FOLLOWING LIST OF HERESIES WERE SELECTED FROM THE TESTIMONIES OF FORMER MEMBERS OF TEDDY, MACArTHY, KENNEDY AND CHICKOREE•“They accepted a false prophet as the very Christ, nicknamed “Teddy”, correct name Todor, from Yugoslavia; a gigantic athlete and a former communist, as he testified.	The super-spiritual woman became his chief bride. Others played second fiddle. Out of this gross deception they established many destructive heresies as follow:• Teddy is Christ in His second coming from under the seventh seal/seven thunders.” • Teddy was to bring the revelation of the capstone. • Teddy was referred to as “daddy.” • They read the heavenly Bible since the written one was insufficient for their interpretations. Teddy wasthe interpreter. • The pastor of Connecticut of the full gospel Christian Assembly was interpreted as being the head of theScorpio. The tail of the scorpion represented the pastor of Bethel. This had to do with the sign of Scorpio in the zodiac.•They also ministered on the constellation of Leo the lion which ministries they claimed they were presently fulfilling. In this constellation, the lion had its paw over the serpent. That meant, their ministry was going to conquer all evil.• The church ages ceased in 1977 and there was no need to be assembled and conduct religious services. • The church doors should be closed. Three churches were closed for about five years. • People should be left without Pastor-ship to corrupt the seed, as it must corrupt before life springs forth;(in type of a natural seed). John 12: 24 <Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.>• Preachers should not preach since the church ages closed.• Teddy stopped Mack and Ken from preaching. He said that he had put up Mack and Ken to preach and he was taking back that authority from them since he was responsible for them being on the pulpit.• The message of Brother Branham was for the church ages and not applicable for the Bride age. • Books and tapes were disposed of, since the church ages were over, and they became stale manna. • The preaching of Lambert was false. He was a blue-eyed monster. Teddy lied about Brother Bob’s lifeand in so doing he took away from them the confidence that they had in Brother Bob, and they automatically turned down Brother Bob as false. They rejected him and the revelation and accepted Teddy as the Christ under a delusion. He covered their eyes with his love, his humility. “You couldn’t help but love him. We were deceived”, Ken affirmed.• Neither Brother Branham, the apostles nor Brother Bob were truly born again.• Husbands and wives were separated for as long as two years, termed “a sacrifice” to undo the original sin in Eden• Two of the ministers’ wives suffered nervous breakdowns.• Ken’s sister, Joyce, was adored as a super-spiritual woman, and was to play out a great spiritual role in order to bring the church back to Eden.C
• Teddy, being “Christ”, had to have a spiritual bride to accomplish his ministry. Ken’s sister was asked to play out this role.time.• Those that were single had to remain single. It was forbidden for any believers to get married during that• At the time of sacrifice, the sisters would hug up Teddy and be crying on his shoulder.• Women were interviewed in a bedroom, behind closed doors in the home of the super-spiritual woman, since Teddy claimed to be a eunuch. A sex scandal erupted.• Teddy was seen lying on one side of a bed, a brother on the other side and an unmarried sister lying between them.• Teddy lifted a sister bodily and took her into a room.• They taught a soul-mating doctrine. Teddy had two mates in Trinidad. One of them was Joyce and the other was Subagie. From Joyce he produced a spiritual son who was Doctor Harry. The ministers also had soul mates.• They studied the books of Rudulf Benavidas which dealt with going back in the past lives of people. In other words, they studied reincarnation.• Some were teaching concerning yoga meditation. All the brothers had to go on diets so that they could have flat tummies. Teddy also wanted the women to be between 120 to 125 pounds.• Teddy typed himself as Balaam’s donkey carrying the burden for the church, and Brother Lambert to be Balaam beating him, because Brother Bob had chastised him for misconduct and for disturbing the church on many occasions.• One of the three preachers was arrested and charged by the police for illegal activities.•Ken and Mack taught their congregation that Brother Dalton was going off the revelation and was preaching for money and was also anointed by the spirits that were released from the River Euphrates at the opening of the Seals.• Propagated lies that Brother Bruce believed he was a prophet. • Teddy lied and said he discerned that Brother Dalton was an adulterer. • Teddy propagated that Brother Dalton’s ministry will have a revival and then it would come to naught. • Lied that Brother Bruce preaches by psychology. • Their moral standards fell and they began to get involved in sports. Ken spread a lie that Brother Brucewas too legalistic, and the sisters changed their manner of dressing, and started wearing straight dresses. Teddy told some of the sisters what styles to cut their hair in and that they would look nice if they cut their hair in such styles. The women began to cut their hair.•Some of them backslid and became sexually immoral; some spoke blasphemies against Brother Branham and Brother Bob, denouncing Brother Branham’s prophetic ministry.• Single brothers and sisters used to go and commit immoralities in the downstairs apartment of one of the churches that was closed down.• Another thing that used to go on there was that after a certain time that they had closed the church, they got a backslider who was an expert in karate, and they were practicing karate inside of the church that was closed down. Eyewitnesses saw them. One fellow came over and said, “They are practising in case Brother Bruce attacks them, they would be able to defend themselves.” Yes! So they were practising karate, right where the gospel was preached, right where Brother Bruce preached over that pulpit.• Nobody could be born again since the son of man was not on the scene. • At the time of deception the seed by which they were born again had to rot. • A man could receive a revelation (be born again) and yet be deceived and tossed to and fro until hebecomes the revelation. • Their excuses are that their mistakes are foreordained and predestinated, and they had to go through acertain process. • After they were deceived in three major deceptions, they never came back to the pastor of Bethel andsaid they were sorry.CI
• They never repented for preaching him down from the pulpit, and preaching him as the scorpion tail of the sign of the Zodiac in the southern sky with the poison in it.• Never repented for accepting what Teddy told the people that he discerned that the pastor of Bethel was an adulterer.• Never came back to the people of Bethel and say, “We were wrong and we want to go right now. We even want to have fellowship with you again.”•Lied and said that they approached the pastor of Bethel to repent three times and he rejected their repentance.• They also claimed that they were the two legs of Brother Bob to carry the message throughout the world. Brother Bruce told them that their legs were sick and lacked muscles.”So after they ran along for a long time, with all these heresies, they finally had to run for their lives before Teddy killed them. So they were all running for their lives and they realised that they were deceived, but never came back and repented, never came back and asked for help, never said that they were sorry. They made an excuse now saying that it was predestinated, to make them more spiritual.PRESENT STAGE OF “PROPHETIC” MINISTRIES	   Of	  more	  recent	  time,	  these	  two	  prophets	  have	  separated.	  The	  two	  legs	  of	  the	  son	  of	  man	  are	  now	   opposed	   to	   each	   other	   and	   stretched	   out	   very	   wide.	   By	   reports,	   Mac	   and	   others	   claim	   to	   be	   visited	   by	   the	   mighty	  angel	  of	  Revelation	  10:1.	  That’s	  the	  office	  of	  Macarthy	  right	  now.	  He	  claims	  to	  be	  Revelation	  10:1,	  and	   he	  also	  claimed	  that	  no	  one	  was	  born	  again	  before,	  including	  Kennedy,	  but	  they	  can	  now	  be	  born	  again,	  and	  if	   they	   want	   to	   be	   born	   again	   they	   need	   to	   listen	   to	   him.	   Ken	   separated	   from	   their	   newly	   built	   church	   building,	   with	   the	   majority	   of	   church	   members,	   and	   when	   questioned,	   lied	   to	   cover-­‐up.	   He	   eventually	   admitted	   their	   separation	   and	   said	   that	   he	   is	   not	   going	   to	   stand	   for	   heresies;	   meaning	   the	   heresies	   of	   Mac.	   They	   now	   have	   separate	   assemblies	   and	   the	   congregation	   is	   divided.	   Several	   people	   left	   the	   church	   but	   are	   afraid	   to	   visit	   Bethel	  because	  of	  the	  evil	  they	  heard.	  	   We	   trust	   that	   this	   will	   be	   the	   turning	   point	   for	   Mr.	   Kennedy	   and	   the	   people	   of	   God,	   out	   of	   such	   damnable	   heresies,	   since	   Mr.	   Macarthy	   was	   the	   instrument	   of	   deception	   and	   fabricator	   of	   such	   unscriptural	   doctrines,	   along	   with	   Teddy.	   When	   both	   “prophets”	   separated,	   it	   was	   the	   greatest	   thing	   that	   ever	   happened	   to	   Mr.	   Kennedy	   and	   his	   people.	   There	   is	   now	   a	   ray	   of	   hope	   of	   deliverance.	   His	   mind	   may	   be	   sober	   enough	   to	   understand	  the	  gross	  deception	  by	  which	  he	  was	  deluded.	   But	   I	   still	   believe	   that	   the	   super-­‐spiritual	   woman	   is	   not	   going	   to	   grant	   him	   that	   permission	   to	   repent.	   So	   his	   hopes	  are	  very	  poor.	  May	  the	  Lord	  have	  mercy	  upon	  His	  people	  who	  were	  caught	  up	  in	  that	  delusion.	   So	   I	   trust	   tonight	   that	   you	   got	   a	   better	   picture	   of	   how	   things	   went	   at	   G.C.C.	   all	   put	   together,	   and	   how	   things	   went	   in	   Trinidad,	   and	   the	   grace	   that	   we	   found	   here	   in	   G.C.C.,	   and	   the	   grace	   that	   we	   found	   in	   Trinidad.	   Brethren,	   it	   is	   a	   miracle	   that	   the	   man	   of	   God	   said	   there	   is	   a	   powerful	   church	   in	   Trinidad.	   But	   then,	   what	   happened	   is	   that	   the	   devil	   moved	   through	   Jim	   and	   Dale,	   moved	   through	   Teddy,	   moved	   through	   Macarthy	   Griffith,	   Kennedy	   Madray,	   James	   Chickoree,	   and	   moved	   through	   such	   super-­‐spiritual	   women,	   and	   the	   big	   crowd	   that	   followed	   Brother	   Bob	   and	   heard	   the	   man	   of	   God	   preached,	   in	   1973	   the	   Lord	   warned	   him	   by	   a	   vision	   that	   a	   young	   girl	   had,	   in	   Dawson	   Creek,	   Canada.	   The	   vision	   of	   the	   young	   girl	   said	   that	   there	   was	   a	   big	   bunch	   of	   birds	   following	   a	   great	   white	   bird.	   That	   is	   what	   she	   was	   seeing.	   And	   these	   birds	   were	   grey	   birds	   following	  this	  great	  white	  bird.	  And	  there	  was	  a	  sharp	  turn	  to	  make.	  I	  certainly	  believe	  that	  sharp	  turn	  was	  the	   death	   of	   God’s	   servant.	   And	   then	   the	   vision	   said	   that	   all	   the	   birds	   that	   do	   not	   make	   that	   sharp	   turn	   will	   become	  black	  crows	  and	  they	  will	  fall	  into	  a	  dark	  chasm	  and	  perish.	  	CII
Beloved,	   we	   don’t	   have	   to	   ask	   for	   the	   interpretation	   of	   that	   vision.	   We	   saw	   those	   birds	   that	   were	   flying	   and	   following	   Christ,	   the	   Word	   of	   God,	   the	   ministry	   of	   the	   seals,	   and	   we	   saw	   what	   happened.	   A	   big	   bunch	   was	   following	  in	  G.C.C.	  It	  was	  no	  where	  else.	  Back	  in	  Trinidad	  he	  was	  very	  enthused	  with	  the	  great	  crowd	  that	  was	   following.	   So	   when	   he	   got	   that	   blessing	   from	   the	   Lord,	   it	   was	   just	   before	   he	   passed	   on.	   Just	   before	   he	   was	   murdered	   he	   wrote	   that	   on	   a	   letter	   and	   sent	   it	   to	   me,	   and	   he	   said,	   “Brother	   Dalton,	   keep	   the	   saints	   in	   fellowship,	  we	  must	  listen,	  we	  must	  listen.”	  And	  he	  repeated	  that	  whole	  vision	  on	  a	  letter	  which	  I	  still	  have	  on	   file,	  and	  he	  knew	  what	  that	  was.	  He	  said,	  “We	  must	  listen.”	  He	  said,	  “All	  the	  birds	  that	  do	  not	  follow	  that	  great	   white	  bird-­‐Christ,	  will	  become	  black	  crows	  and	  fall	  into	  a	  dark	  chasm.”	   I	  say	  this,	  my	  brothers	  and	  sisters,	  with	  all	  sincerity	  and	  love	  for	  those	  souls,	  all	  who	  followed	  the	  resurrection	   doctrine	   through	   Jim	   and	   Dale	   were	   grey	   birds,	   and	   many	   of	   them	   became	   black	   crows	   and	   they	   have	   fallen	   into	   that	   chasm	   and	   they	   will	   perish.	   And	   all	   those	   in	   Trinidad	   who	   followed	   Jim	   and	   Dale,	   together	   with	   Teddy,	  were	  those	  grey	  birds,	  and	  they	  could	  not	  make	  that	  sharp	  turn.	  The	  sharp	  turn	  actually	  was	  to	  follow	   the	  pathways	  of	  life	  after	  the	  messenger	  was	  taken	  away,	  after	  the	  pastor	  was	  taken	  away,	  after	  this	  revivalist	   was	   taken	   away.	   They	   could	   not	   follow	   the	   Word	   of	   God	   which	   the	   great	   white	   bird	   represents	   the	   Word	   of	   God.	   And	   they	   could	   not	   follow	   the	   Word.	   So	   instead	   of	   making	   that	   sharp	   turn	   they	   went	   straight	   to	   the	   broad	   way	   of	   destruction,	   and	   the	   big	   crowd	   that	   Brother	   Bob	   saw	   there,	   dwindled	   down	   to	   a	   little	   over	   twelve	   people,	   and	   the	   great	   crowd	   went	   away	   with	   Teddy,	   went	   away	   with	   Jim	   and	   Dale,	   went	   away	   to	   Sodom	  and	  Gomorrah,	  and	  they	  are	  on	  their	  way	  to	  destruction	  tonight.	  Yes!	  	   I	  am	  still	  hoping	  that	  the	  Lord	  could	  salvage	  one	  or	  two	  persons	  out	  of	  that	  great	  multitude	  that	  followed,	  and	   out	  of	  that,	  the	  miracle,	  the	  grace	  and	  the	  blessing	  is	  that	  we	  stayed	  with	  the	  Word	  of	  God,	  we	  were	  run	  out	  of	   the	   churches	   and	   we	   stayed	   in	   a	   little	   home,	   and	   then	   we	   preached	   the	   Word	   of	   life,	   and	   what	   Brother	   Bob	   pronounced	   by	   inspiration	   came	   to	   pass,	   that	   there	   is	   a	   powerful	   church	   in	   Trinidad.	   The	   Lord	   brought	   those	   people	  from	  the	  east,	  from	  the	  west,	  from	  the	  north	  and	  from	  the	  south,	  yes,	  through	  the	  Caribbean	  and	  you	   know	  the	  number	  of	  people	  who	  now	  follow	  the	  Word	  of	  God	  at	  Bethel,	  and	  the	  quality	  and	  the	  standard.	  And	   that	  did	  not	  stop	  there	  my	  brothers	  and	  sisters.	  It	  pleased	  the	  Lord	  to	  send	  it	  over	  to	  India	  and	  over	  to	  Africa,	   yes,	  and	  across	  the	  world,	  telling	  them	  about	  an	  outpouring	  and	  revival	  and	  exposing	  damnable	  heresies.	  Yes!	   This	  is	  a	  great	  miracle,	  and	  the	  Lord	  has	  blessed	  us	  tremendously	  to	  understand	  these	  things	  my	  beloved.	  Yes,	   we	   ought	   to	   be	   grateful,	   we	   ought	   to	   be	   thankful.	   I	   want	   you	   to	   know	   that	   you	   are	   not	   alone	   and	   that	   the	   vision	   that	   the	   prophet	   had,	   the	   vision	   that	   Brother	   Bob	   had	   is	   coming	   to	   pass.	   At	   one	   time	   he	   said,	   “I	   do	   not	   know	  if	  God	  is	  going	  to	  give	  a	  chance	  to	  the	  world	  to	  hear	  this	  revelation	  before	  the	  outpouring	  comes.”	  And	  I	   always	  look	  at	  that.	  	  I	   have	   seen	   men	   rose	   up	   in	   India	   and	   Africa	   and	   different	   places	   by	   leaps	   and	   bounds.	   The	   letters	   would	   be	   too	  many	  to	  read	  since	  this	  series	  of	  messages.	  You	  are	  talking	  about	  devoted	  men	  who	  are	  listening	  in	  today:	   Brother	   Ibobo,	   Brother	   Mutwa,	   and	   Brother	   Maxwell	   over	   there	   in	   Africa	   and	   those	   over	   there	   in	   Kenya	   and	   different	   States	   of	   Africa,	   and	   our	   precious	   brethren	   whom	   you	   know	   about	   in	   India:	   Brother	   Watson	   with	   all	   those	  other	  ministers.	  We	  have	  at	  least	  twenty	  five	  churches	  in	  India	  right	  now	  that	  support	  this	  ministry	  and	   they	  have	  not	  seen	  you	  and	  I,	  except	  by	  streaming,	  and	  they	  have	  never	  seen	  the	  man	  of	  God.	  And	  right	  now	   they	   are	   establishing	   new	   churches.	   Every	   day,	   every	   week,	   every	   month,	   new	   churches	   are	   establishing	   themselves	   in	   E.O.D.H.	   You	   talk	   about	   humble	   people,	   you	   talk	   about	   dedicated	   people.	   Some	   of	   them	   woke	   up	   since	   4	   o’	   clock	   just	   to	   see	   you	   here	   and	   hear	   the	   words	   of	   life.	   Some	   of	   them	   wake	   up	   at	   2	   o’	   clock.	   Yes!	   And	  I	  was	  so	  surprised.	  One	  sister	  told	  me,	  “My	  little	  children	  wake	  up	  at	  that	  time	  to	  come	  and	  hang	  around	   that	  computer	  to	  hear	  the	  words	  of	  Life.”	  They	  want	  to	  see	  their	  shepherd.	  Yes!	   I	  have	  no	  leading	  to	  go	  to	  Africa,	  no	  leading	  to	  go	  to	  India,	  my	  brothers	  and	  sisters.	  I	  was	  only	  led	  of	  the	  Lord	   here	  to	  you	  and	  a	  couple	  of	  places	  in	  the	  Caribbean.

So	  we	  have	  found	  great	  favour	  in	  the	  sight	  of	  the	  Lord.	  Be	  strong	  in	  the	  Lord	  and	  the	  power	  of	  His	  might.	  Yes!	   The	   Lord	   who	   has	   brought	   us	   safe	   thus	   far	   is	   able	   to	   take	   us	   on	   [Congregation	   says,	   “Amen!”]	   May	   the	   Lord	   bless	  you.	  Let	  us	  bow	  our	  heads.	   Thank	   you	   Father	   for	   your	   Word	   tonight.	   Thank	   you	   for	   your	   encouragement.	   Thank	   you	   for	   your	   wonderful	   Spirit,	   O	   Lord,	   that	   prevailed	   in	   this	   place	   and	   throughout	   the	   meetings,	   Lord,	   and	   yet	   the	   meetings	   will	   continue	   on	   Sunday.	   Father,	   bless	   your	   people	   and	   help	   your	   servant	   to	   add	   more	   to	   this	   that	   we	   might	   be	   alert.	   Bless	   your	   children,	   even	   on	   the	   streaming	   over	   there	   and	   on	   the	   tapes	   that	   will	   go.	   O	   Lord,	   help	   them,	   give	   them	   understanding	   to	   be	   warned	   about	   the	   devil	   that	   is	   trying	   to	   swallow	   them	   up.	   Bless	   your	   children	   and	   save	   our	   unsaved	   families.	   Save	   O	   Lord,	   and	   heal	   the	   sick	   and	   the	   afflicted.	   The	   little	   ones	   who	   have	   that	   pox	   Lord,	   I	   pray	   that	   you	   would	   send	   forth	   your	   Word	   and	   heal	   the	   little	   ones.	   O	   God,	   in	   India	   also	   and	   wherever	   they	   are,	   lift	   them	   up	   Lord	   and	   heal	   them.	   We	   commit	   our	   lives	   into	   your	   hands.	   In	   the	   name	   of	   Jesus	   Christ	   we	   pray	   with	   thanksgiving.	   Amen!	   We	   are	   dismissed	   now	   and	   you	   could	   raise	   a	   little	   song.	   The	   Lord	  bless	  your	  hearts.	  LATTER FALSE PROPHETS & FALSE CHRISTS – BETHEL & G.C.C. EXPERIENCESCHAPTER SIXRomans 12:3 <For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.>Galatians 6:3 <For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.>This message I have entitled: “Latter False Prophets And False Christs.” So we had early false prophets, and tonight you are going to hear about latter false prophets and christs, meaning that they followed these former prophets and christs.I was thinking how hard it is for some to sit and hear these things knowing that they have relatives, loved ones, grandmothers and all kinds of relatives who were involved in this, over here and at Bethel. And some of what would be spoken tonight, the relatives of people are seated right in Bethel there, and they have to sit through that and hear these things rehearsed. Not only that but they sat through, many years ago, and saw the manifestations of their own loved ones and sons and those people stood faithfully to the Word of God, in all respect to the ministry, and they are still there after fifteen and twenty years, and some of them twenty-five years, and they are still pressing the battle. So you are not alone in this. Other people are suffering in their minds.So this here is a little subject on a Brother King. So again this is built upon the understanding of self and satanic delusions – pride, self and ambition, and I want to emphasize this scripture from Romans 12: 3 where Brother Paul was warning the Romans. Rome was like America, the capital of the world, and you know what that does. It puts pride into the heart and they were a different kind of people, and Brother Paul said:<For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.>And we have seen enough and have heard enough for the past services, even of Galatians 6: 3:<For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.> CIV
Yes! So now, that is so wonderful, and even Brother Paul had to fight against these kinds of ambitious spirits, and he warned people in his day.So now, this is going to take a little deeper look into self and satanic delusions, and where you will see and where you will hear a demon speaking out of a man in an orderly fashion. Very intellectual, very wise, very cunning, very sensible, and you could learn alot. So if you never heard one of the demons from the Euphrates River speak out in the first person like Christ, you are going to hear that and experience it. And I will quote this man directly.So this young man, I cannot say that he was a bad fellow. I believe that he was a wonderful young man, handsome, strong looking, very respectful. I never had any problems with this boy causing problems in the church. The only problem that he had was that he got a little too ambitious. Nobody knew the ambition that was in his heart. This ambition would cause him to fall into a delusion, and an evil spirit from the Euphrates that is seeking to pervert the seven thunders and lead people into satanic delusions would come upon this man.So it happened that this spirit did not get away too far and carry away anybody from the House of God because it was exposed in time. But it was unlike the other spirits that carried away a lot of people, split the church, broke the church up, and the saints went through many problems, like when Teddy “the Christ” arose.” It is the same kind of spirit, only that this spirit was contained by the Word of God and it could not move. And like what we dealt with last night, that arose and led away some. And in every uprising of these false prophets and false christs, it happened in times past, over the years, that one or two were misled.“GABRIEL THE ARCHANGEL”Right now, as we preach on this subject, I am preaching to a brother. I hope that he is listening in India. He thinks that he is Gabriel the archangel, after hearing all the words of God, and he has a faithful follower with him and a congregation. I noticed that that brother is tuning in almost every night, and I want to warn you in an impersonal way my brother; to follow “Gabriel the archangel” whom that brother claims to represent is to lose your soul. Cut clear of that man if he would not repent. On the 12th of this month is his last day to repent. I sent a letter to him giving him one week to turn down that delusion. I was hoping with all these experiences, that that man would fall upon his knees and say, “I see what you are talking about and I repent.” Up to this day: 10th July, he has not yet repented. Now, that is strong delusion friend, that is plenty pride, that is plenty ambition. Yes! And I wish that this message tonight and another tomorrow would help this man to see the delusion that he is in. This brother is now portraying himself as Michael the archangel-Christ. And the only difference between you and this man is that you are claiming to be Gabriel, and this fellow is claiming to be Michael. And yet he is a nice brother, wonderful and supportive to the ministry, but then you can get the wrong spirit by having the wrong foundation. O my, how a man could be so proud and think of himself so highly. You should leave that mistake for some of us who sat here for decades and heard the man of God himself, and some even heard Brother Branham himself and we sat under the Word of God for better than four decades, some of us, and you should leave that mistake for us to make, and we are not making that mistake. Take our examples and humble your heart. You just heard the Word for a couple years through the E.O.D.H. books, and you have not yet really heard what you are supposed to hear. Humble your heart, give up that spirit. This is that spirit that has deceived the whole world, and we have a world of false prophets today. They are loosed.TANNY KING - “MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL”Michael King attended Bethel for a number of years. He was a disciplined young man who caused no problems to the church, nor had any complaints concerning him.CV
Being a highly ambitious young man, who never denied self, he went fooling with the wrong things, went into fanaticism, became demon-possessed and fell into a delusion that he was Michael the archangel, God made flesh, and claimed that he had to go to Israel to be crucified. Apparently, he spiritualized his name. He claimed that he had a revelation to perfect the Bride and to continue the ministry of Christ.Brother Bruce counseled him and dealt with him in love and respect with the hope of delivering him from that delusion. He told him, “This is a devil on you brother.” He said, “But I feel Jesus Christ down inside of me.” He said, “You got possessed. You are going to lose your job, because you are going to lose your mind and you are going to end up in the mad house.” So he gave him time knowing that every one of us could make mistakes, and a wrong spirit could get upon us, but the thing is, we must be willing to repent.He continued down that path so Brother Bruce got all the preachers and the deacons of Bethel and had him relate his experiences and revelations. He told us that he was comfortable and confident. “A fool rageth and is confident.”Not willing to give up that spirit, he was given thirty days to repent. He failed to repent and was dismissed from the House of God. In a couple of days he went insane. They carried him down by Waldron, a message minister, and they could not handle him, and they finally put him in the insane asylum. He remained there for some time. Then he started to beg the nurse to let him out, so she did, and he came to Bethel. When he arrived, Brother Chandler was in church and he and Brother Bruce prayed for him, and that demon came right out of him, and he wrote his testimony which filled a thick book, giving his story from the beginning to the end, and telling when that demon came in him. When he was delivered he said, “Brother Bruce, I know when that demon came out of me. When it came out, I got so weak.”However, he never gave up his ambition, and having that bedding ground, that demon came right around again and possessed him. He again claimed to be Christ manifested in human flesh and claimed to have the revelation of the seven thunders. That demon gave him a letter to the church, which was totally antichrist in nature and doctrine, which he wrote on paper.It was brought to a showdown. Brother Bruce allowed him to go to the pulpit and read the letter to the church that the church might be acquainted with such spirit of antichrist, and afterwards twelve men, at random, were selected and summoned from the congregation to give their verdict. This was done also with the hope of deliverance of this deluded young man. The showdown was officiated by one of Bethel’s senior minister: Brother Roy Barrow.All twelve men declared that he had a demon upon him, it is an antichrist spirit at work, he is over- ambitious, full of pride, he is not the identification of Christ, he is not the authority on the seven thunders and his thunders revelation is madness and insanity. The ministry concluded by the Word of God that there is no room in the Word of God for him to fit into such ministry, and to claim to be Christ in flesh is blasphemy and a spirit of antichrist and spirit of insanity is upon him.He had attended Bethel for several years with his mother, grandmother and several of his relatives, whom the Lord supernaturally brought and saved and of whom many are still at Bethel. His mother is a most faithful sister who does not mix matters concerning her soul’s salvation. She never for one moment doubted the Word in favor of her son’s doctrine. She is yet at Bethel serving the Lord. His grandmother went to be with the Lord.His mother sat through the showdown. How sad that must have been for her. She tried to turn him from his error on several occasions with motherly pleadings for his soul, but he was bent in his ways and grew deeper into his delusion. The contents of the showdown were as followS:So Brother Barrow; each one of you knows him. He is a gallant, precious brother. He looks big and strong but he is very tender in heart. A very loving man, and we still consider him as a senior minister in the House of God, though he is not too well and he is not functioning on the pulpit very often. Brother Barrow, you know he always does a thorough job. He has a loud voice for it and he makes sure that you understand what he is saying. We love Brother Barrow.CVI
SHOWDOWNBethel Minister, Brother Roy Barrow: “Tonight, I am called upon to do a little something here, withrespect to our brother Tanny King. We have Brother King with us. He claims that he has been hearing fromGod, and he has written to his shepherd, concerning his claims, which he also addressed to this church.And I want you to sit down and give your undivided attention, and if possible take mental notes. If youfeel that your memory will fail you, you can do a little jotting down. So at this time we will ask Brother TannyKing to come and read his letter that he has written, first of all to his shepherd, but this letter was reallyaddressed to the church, as I hand him this letter.”We read another letter last night, and that was a letter from the pit of hell. Yes! That was from theinsane asylum. Yes! It was penned under a certain inspiration also. It was claimed that “I cannot write until Ifeel inspired.” Now, these demons write. They write books. They preach behind the pulpit. The man who theyare using actually feels inspired. They feel empowered by the Holy Ghost, because they are in deception.So now, as he reads this letter, note carefully how well ordered his words are: proper English, properorder of the scripture, until a certain point, and you will know how those demons speak. So now, this is a devilspeaking in the first person, and when he brought that letter to me and I read it, I knew that this letter wouldedify the church, and I believe it will edify the world over.May I say some thing here: Sometimes a man, because of his pride and lust and ambition, interferes withthe wrong thing and he becomes insane. After he becomes insane he doesn’t know what he is doing and he ismotivated by a devil. Yes! And God knows that man’s heart. And that man can do a lot of things in his madnessand the Lord still save him. Isn’t God gracious? [Congregation says, “Amen!”] And there are some cases herethat I believe that the Lord saved those parties. They just interfered with the wrong thing and lost their minds,but they meant well. They meant to serve God. And Brother Branham said that a person could be insane and besaved. He said, “Many a person could be insane but yet the Lord has saved them.”TOTALLY INSANE YET CONVERTED AND FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOSTQuote W.M.B.: 17 Many times you can see a person maybe of insanity. Now, they may be yet aconverted person, filled with the Holy Spirit, and yet be totally insane. See? That's right; that has nothing to dowith the soul. It's a tormentor (See?), something that torments them. (Demonology 1 Physical 53-0608A).So you see we have to look at the other side too and just don’t dump these people into a category thatthey are lost forever. No, they just interfered with the wrong thing, they got mad and they just did the wrongthing.INSPIRATION OF SATANTanny King: “Good afternoon brothers and sisters. The inspiration to write this letter came to mewhile I was on my job. I write a lot of letters. Normally, I just don't know exactly what I am going to write. Asthe inspiration comes, the Lord would say, “Write,” and I would write, you know. Many ideas are under myshepherd, Brother Bruce, which pertain to my spiritual growth. I know he will correspond with me and teachme certain things. And as my growth goes along, there were many other letters I wrote which I kept for myself.One day, the fifteenth of December, last year (1994), I was on the job and the Lord said, “Write,” andI started to write. He told me to write something pertaining to dreams, because many of you know I have hadbad experiences with dreams. He said to “write pertaining to dreams; the people must understand aboutdimensions.” And I started to write about the dimensions. Not knowing what I was going to write, I justcontinued writing, and visions started breaking and things started happening. And I wrote about the firstCVII
dimension, the second and the third. And when I reached to the fourth, I was writing and I touched onsomething and visions started to break from all sides.I did not know how to put them together; I put down the pen. Now, for the whole evening visionscontinued breaking, breaking, and everything kept tying together, tying together for the whole night. Thenext day he told me, “Start afresh; put that away.” And he said, "Start to write." And this is the letter. Thisis Friday 16th December, 1994. A letter to the church; first to the church of Bethel, and then to all others:”Do you see the aim of this antichrist? This is the devil now, it is not the man. Now, the aim of theantichrist is to deceive the church, number one, and then he is not satisfied, he must go overseas and deceivethe whole world. Those are the demons that have been loosed today. So now, this is the devil that broke thesevisions before this man. Remember he must have a foundation before the demon come upon him. Thefoundation is to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think. You think that you are somebody sogreat. You are ambitious. So now, you have to work your way into that, and after you work your way into that,then you open up to these spirits, and these spirits could take your finger and write. Yes! They wrote me lettersalready, right in front of my eyes, they wrote me letters. And then they would come and inspire you, make youfeel that you have the Holy Spirit. You would actually hear their voice as if it is the voice of God. You seevisions breaking for the whole night, as the brother said, and dreams start coming to him. When they get likethat you could hardly convince them that that is not God, because they went through some experiences. Andthat is where so-called Pentecost failed. They failed by leaning off on their experiences and leaving the Wordbehind.Alright, hear the devil speak out of this man in the first person like Christ. Now, this is an insanityspirit that jumped on this man.BEARING YOUR SINS IN MY MEMBERS“Let it be known that the time is at hand, that which was in heaven, is now upon the earth, and is nowopened unto them. That which they sought has come among them, and has been among them now thirty years,and they knew it not. No! Not even the Son, for the secret was hidden in the Father, until now that all might befulfilled.Thirty years have I been in this world, since the seals were opened in the year 1963, by WilliamMarrion Branham, I came. And in the year 1964, November 12th, I put on my robe of flesh, my chosen robe,chosen before the foundation of the world, ordained for this purpose by me. Ever since, I have been walkingamongst you; bearing your sins in my members. I became part of you that you might be part of me, whereasthere might be balance, a covenant between me and you, therefore creating peace in our hearts, and putting anend to the wars.	  	  	  	   However,	   three	   is	   the	   number	   of	   perfection,	   so	   in	   order	   for	   our	   joy	   to	   be	   full,	   there	   must	   be	   another	   war.	   For	   there	   is	   still	   iniquity	   working	   in	   your	   members,	   it	   must	   be	   thoroughly	   purged	   with	   fire,	   which	   is	   my	   Word,	   the	   vehicle	   of	   my	   Spirit.	   It	   is	   written,	   there	   are	   three	   Woes:	   Woe!	   Woe!	   Woe!,	   symbolizing	   the	   three	   wars.	  The	  wars	  are	  spiritual	  and	  natural	  wars,	  for	  I	  am	  a	  spirit	  and	  you	  are	  natural;	  you	  are	  my	  reflection.	  Two	   woes	  have	  already	  passed.	  I	  was	  exalted	  above	  you,	  because	  of	  my	  supreme	  spiritual	  power	  and	  beauty.	  There	   was	  no	  way	  for	  us	  to	  communicate.	  We	  were	  totally	  contrary	  to	  each	  other.	  I	  am	  the	  front	  of	  the	  body	  and	  you	   are	   the	   back.	   As	   your	   face	   cannot	   communicate	   with	   the	   back	   of	   your	   head,	   unless	   there	   is	   a	   mirror,	   even	   so	   had	  we	  no	  communication,	  but	  we	  desire	  to	  see	  each	  other.	  	  So	  you	  thought	  of	  ways,	  how	  it	  could	  be	  done,	  and	   I	  thought	  of	  ways	  how	  it	  could	  be	  done.”	  	  Did	   you	   hear	   the	   voice	   of	   the	   devil?	   Brethren,	   this	   is	   an	   insanity	   spirit	   from	   the	   Euphrates,	   impersonating	  Christ.	  Did	  you	  hear	  his	  first	  statement?	  “Let	  it	  be	  known	  that	  the	  time	  is	  at	  hand.”	  Didn’t	  Jesus	CVIII
say	   that	   false	   prophets	   and	   false	   christs	   shall	   arise	   and	   say	   that	   the	   time	   is	   at	   hand?	   [Congregation	   says,	   “Amen!]	  The	  exact	  same	  words,	  that	  “the	  time	  is	  at	  hand”	  and	  pretend	  to	  be	  Christ?		  	  	I AM LIGHT“Then	   a	   part	   of	   your	   ideas	   was	   combined	   to	   a	   part	   of	   my	   ideas	   and	   we	   came	   up	   with	   a	   perfect	   plan,	   whereof	  we	  might	  have	  fellowship.	  The	  plan	  is	  called	  the	  Word.	  The	  Covenant	  states,	  I	  being	  light,	  will	  cut	  you	   off	  from	  me,	  you	  being	  natural	  having	  no	  light	  of	  your	  own,	  that	  I	  might	  be	  able	  to	  see	  you.	  	  Therefore,	   it	   is	   written,	   “Children	   obey	   your	   parents”,	   obey	   the	   man	   of	   God.	   He	   knows	   what	   he	   is	   talking	  about.	  He	  don't	  want	  pet,	  he	  don’t	  want	  you	  to	  say	  the	  man	  of	  God	  is	  a	  good	  man.	  He	  doesn’t	  want	  you	   to	   come	   and	   praise	   him.	   He	   wants	   you	   to	   understand	   what	   he	   is	   telling	   you.	   He	   does	   not	   want	   you	   to	   come	...The foolish virgins and the renegade Jews are to be joined together in one, after I and you have beenjoined together. Our uniting is called ‘in the body.’ Their uniting is called ‘out of the body.’”YOU ARE JESUS AND I AM CHRIST“Before Jesus came, all that you saw manifested were the details of the construction of the first part ofthe plan: the creation of the new body for us to dwell in. Jesus Christ is the end product, he is our planmanifested, he is our body. Therefore, it is written, “Jesus Christ is the mystery of God revealed." You areJesus and I am Christ. To fight against Jesus is to fight against yourself. It is therefore written, ‘You cannotkick the pricks.’”Now, this is a demon speaking in the first person.I AM SELF-EXALTED“The prehistoric monsters, the dinosaurs and dragons etc., the giants were the reflections of the oldman. I being self exalted and you being self exalted, therefore, as the old man no longer exists even so thosephotographs no longer exist. Therefore, it is written, “Their sins I shall remember no more.” All sorrow andpain and death, and heartache, and homosexuality, and lesbianism, and pride, yeah pride, and deceit, aretherefore the strife, for there are all bottled up in unbelief, in our plan. Pride is your biggest enemy. Self, thecause of death.”Brethren, this devil from the Euphrates is preaching against self and pride. That is the heights ofdeception. He said, “Pride is death. Your biggest enemy is pride”, and that is the devil himself!“Therefore, it is written, He that believeth shall be saved, and he that believed not is already lost. For Ishall withdraw My Spirit from the excess and the houses shall become desolate... the foolish virgins, and theyshall be thoroughly burnt with fire. Each member shall be burnt individually until he himself becomes fire,which is my Word. And you are the Word. You, including me, are the plan. I am the plan....Therefore, it is written, “Children, obey your parents.” The man of God is your parent. Come out ofthe flesh. The words I speak are spirit. Don't look at Tanny. This is flesh, this is my house. This isn't me. Youhave never seen me. I dwell in this. You have never really known you. Come off the flesh.

Thirty years I am upon the earth. I have no joy. You might see melaughing sometimes, but inside I am crying. I have peace but no joy. What is the matter with you? I am a lonelyman. The man of God is a lonely man. The ministers, they are lonely, they are crying out. When you come inand you talk a pack of nonsense.”That is how the devil moves. Did you catch his tactics? “The ministers are lonely people and I amlonely. I am bearing your sufferings, your aches and sorrows.” Now, didn’t the Bible say that Jesus was a manof sorrow and acquainted with grief?” Well, that is the devil talking right here in the first person. I tell you rightnow, I am not a lonely man.“We are their parents. We created them. We, the Lord and us. We are part of it. We created them;therefore, they shall obey us or perish. We shall no longer plea, but now we shall command. We need faith forthat. For my spirit which was their strength, wherein they are able to resist, is now taken from them and addedunto you. But you need to believe it.THE SERPENT SHALL BE BORN AGAIN – THIS IS THE 7THUNDERS“He that was exalted is now abased, as the crawling thing of the earth. Therefore, it is written, "Uponthy belly shall thou go and dust shall thou eat all thy days of thy life”, for the serpent also shall be born again,CX
then shall all be finished. Then shall our joy be full in all things. You were told, and it is also written, “Hope tothe end for the grace which is to be brought unto you.” Today this scripture is fulfilled. This is the revelation ofthe seven thunders. Signed, Brother Tanny King, who has just died unto the Lord. Blessed is every man whosodied unto the Lord from this day forward. Thank you for your hearing brothers, sisters.”He just died unto the Lord. That demon was using that man’s body in full measure where he himselfprobably did not understand what he was saying. The devil penned what he read in that letter and then inspiredhim to come and read that on the pulpit. The man’s whole countenance was changed into a fierce look. Sothese are his claims.So hundreds of people were sitting and Brother Barrow was ministering and taking charge of this, andthat is how we handled this matter for the edification of the church, and now the entire world.Brother Barrow: “You have sat and you have heard. First I want to draw your attention to the last thingthat Tanny has written here. He says that “...this is the revelation of the seven thunders”, and he signed hisname; “Ruthanney Michael King, better known as Tanny, who has just died unto the Lord. Blessed is everyman, who hath so died unto the Lord from this day forward.” But I want you take note of that; “This is therevelation of the seven thunders; Ruthanney ‘Michael’ King.”I hope you are getting the thought? [Congregation says, “Amen!”] I hope that you have listened to whatwas said? You have listened carefully. Therefore I will like to call a few brethren to give me a short response onBrother Tanny’s claim. But before I do that, I want to highlight one or two things that Brother Tanny isclaiming.From the trend of the letter addressed to the church, we see here in the second paragraph, Brother Tannyis saying,Quote: "Thirty years I have been in this world. Since the seals were opened in the year 1963 by BrotherWilliam Marion Branham, I came and in the year 1964, November 12th I put on my robe of flesh, my chosenrobe, chosen before the foundation of world, ordained for this purpose by me.”I want you to read between the lines. This is the claim of the ministry of the son of man. This is a very,very strong claim. Amen! He went on to say;Quote: “...ever since, I’ve been walking among you, bearing your sins in my members.”I know it is one person who bore our sins in his own body upon the tree, and that was the Lord JesusChrist.He was speaking about the serpent having to be born again, and all these sort of things that are contraryto the Word of God. The serpent will be restored to its original state, but when it comes to being born again, theborn again experience is not for animals. The born again experience is for you and I, not for animals. Andthen he puts his signature down here, “Ruthanney Michael King”, and he is claiming this to be the seventhunders.We will call some of the brethren like Brother Trotman, Brother John, twelve brethren or so. BrotherQuacoo. Is Brother Sterlin here? Brother Sterlin. We have Brother Ruthven, Brother Richard. You will comeone by one and give us, just a short synopsis. You can come. Then we will have Brother Albert right here,Brother Joey Bynoe, and Peter Soon, Brother Anant, Brother Errol Ayres, and Brother Narine, way down in theback there. You will come and just give us a brief of what you think of what this letter to the church is allabout.”I guess you would have liked to be there to see how a demon manifests. So we were trying to help thisman. If my voice was too weak, and he thinks that I am trying to take away his ministry, I pass it on to BrotherBarrow. Then, if he was not convinced by that then we would call twelve people from the congregation, atrandom, without telling them anything, and put them up there to give their verdict on this letter. So now, youwill see the trick of the devil. So now, these men, every one of them came out very strong against this devil.CXI
So this is Brother Anthony John. You know Big John? The Lord brought back his son on his back. Hewas backslidden and he got in an accident, and that fellow is like a vegetable. Just before he got that way, whichwas almost two years ago, I sent Brother John and told him to make him repent. So he went down there andobeyed my instructions. His son could not talk, he did not know anybody. I said, “Do such and such to see if hecould understand anybody” and the boy shook his head. Brother John led him in a sinner’s prayer, and he comesto church on his back in a vehicle. He is just a youth. God warned him with a first accident and he himself saidthat the next accident would be very fatal, and so it did happen. So the Lord blessed Brother John in that way.He is very committed, taking care of this young man whom I believe is saved.ANTICHRIST AT WORKBrother John: “Well brethren, I sat and I heard. And I want to say tonight that the things that I heardhere, that the brother is claiming to have heard from almighty God, is totally contrary to the things that almightyGod had already revealed to his messengers. A message which the Lord came night after night, and backed upwith his presence, and have changed and transformed our lives, and the brother claims that what he has here isthe revelation of the seven thunders. I pitied the Brother. In my heart I felt sad. I sat there, you know, I didn’tsee my brother tonight, but I saw a powerful antichrist spirit at work, and from what I heard, I think mybrother is in critical need of deliverance, for the hour is late, because what I have heard in that paper, if hedoesn't get that spirit out, it will take him through the tribulation, unto hell and into a lake of fire.”CONTRARY IDENTITY OF SON OF MANBrother Trotman: “Goodnight brethren. I also sat and heard these things that were read, and havingbeen here for nine and a half years, I must say that the things that were read are erroneous, and contrary tosound doctrine. [Congregation says, “Amen!”]. Brethren I am convinced that is not of God. Now, I believe bythe grace of God that I have an understanding of, in some measure, concerning the revelation of the son of man.And the claim that seems to be coming over in the letter, I must say, having an understanding of the revelationof the son of man to that extent, I believe I know the identity thereof, [Congregation says, “Amen!”], and I amwell persuaded according to that letter, that is a contrary identity of the revelation of the son man here in theend time. [Congregation says, “Amen!”]. So I cannot help but join with Brother John and declare; that isan antichrist spirit and surely the brother there needs deliverance. And may the Lord have mercy somehow.”CONTRARY SPIRIT - FAMILIARBrother Richard: “Brethren, I must say, I sat and I heard and I understood clearly what the brother wassaying. And I think, and it has been almost seventeen years of me being seated under this Word, that isa contrary spirit to this revelation, and that brother is anointed with a powerful demon from the pit of hell, andhe needs to be delivered. [Congregation says, “Amen!”]. To claim the office of Michael, and to claim the officeof the son of man this is not a new spirit to us. We have battled with this spirit before on many occasions and Ithink our dear brother needs deliverance.” [Congregation says, “Amen!”].Then Brother Albert, a former Muslim, who was passing by the church for about ten years, and he usedto go to the Muslim church, which is not far from Bethel. He was invited to Bethel, and he sat there, heard theCXII
Word of God, and he came over and shook my hands and said, “You talk like God!” That was it! He renouncedhis religion and sat down there for better than twenty years now. These are the kinds of men who the Lordcalled, supernaturally.Another Muslim fellow who the Lord called, he was passing to go to that same church. He said, “Let mecheck out this church. He came in there, we call him Brother “Robin” (Azid Mohammed), and he sat downthere and said, “I believe this!” So the Lord called and saved His people. None of those brothers ever rose upwith this kind of ministry. These young fellows came there and met these hard back men sitting for fifteen andtwenty years, and still want to be somebody great. Something is wrong with your soul. Something is wrong withyour pride and ambition. You came there and met men who were sitting there for ten years, fifteen years, twentyyears before you, and now you think that you are someone so great because you heard the revelation for one ortwo years. Something is wrong with your soul.So we called this Muslim brother. He doesn’t mix matters at all. He tells you what he has to tell you.DEVIL ON BROTHERBrother Albert: “Goodnight brothers. I sat and heard for eight years in Bethel, and from the time I sawthe brother come up here, just watching him alone, in my heart I said, “That brother has a devil on him.” Thatis just the honest part about it. And I believe what Brother Bruce preaches, and I believe all what the otherministers preach, and what I feel is that what you have to do is really get down in some good prayers, pray andfast and ask the Lord to take that devil off him. That's my contribution”. [Congregation says, “Amen!”]Then they called brother Sterlin Bynoe. A wonderful brother. He came from “The Open Bible” manyyears ago. I just spoke to him outside and he never went back to his church.“REVELATION OF THUNDERS” - MADNESSBrother Sterlin: “Greetings saints. Well, being acquainted with spirits like that, I want to say that Iused to live next door to one, and I could tell you, from the time, before he even came to the pulpit, whenBrother Barrow was about to introduce him, I saw the way he looked. I said, "Something is wrong here." I wantto say that what I heard is madness. That's the honest truth. Brother Barrow said to be frank. And to be candid,that's madness. I know the identification of Christ. I know Christ, and just being plain, I find that is madness.The brother really needs help. He really needs help. That's about what I can say, but I know that is of the devil.”Brother Quacoo is a real gentleman. A wonderful brother with a wonderful personality. A deacon of thechurch. He came many years ago.“SEVEN THUNDERS” - INSANITYBrother Quacoo: “Goodnight saints. Sitting and listening to the brother who is convinced that the spiritupon him is of the Lord, and that the understanding he has is coming from the Lord directly to him, I want tosay that God is not the author of confusion and He doesn't go contrary to his Word. And after listening, asBrother Barrow pointed out already in the highlight, but I was also taking little notes of the highlights; Christcannot confuse the scriptures, as the brother claims in his writings.CXIII
After seeing, sitting and hearing him speak, I heard something familiar. A person I was familiar with,had that same claim, and same thought. It is just on a little more higher trend but it was the same claim. And Isaw that same person went totally insane, eating from a garbage can and then fell away and died, wanting torepent and didn’t have that grace to come and repent. Yet still, the Lord being merciful, I believe, somehow hadmercy upon him.I am praying that the Lord would deliver my brother, knowing that the Spirit of the Lord will not gocontrary to his Word. I am praying that the Lord would bring my brother to the true understanding that the Lordwouldn't commune with him and draft him in that way, contrary to his Word. So I pity my brother. The spiritupon him is not the Holy Spirit, but it is the antichrist spirit because it is contrary to the Word, taking part ofthe Word and mixing his ideas. So I pray the Lord will help my brother and deliver him, bring him to his senses.That's what I have to say.”Then Brother Joey Bynoe who is here. A gallant, precious brother, going through a trial, and that songthat he sang there tonight was very fitting: “A very special grace” for himself and Micah. Never knew that theywould be in the States here for so long, seeing about their families, but the will of the Lord be done.SEVEN THUNDERS AUTHORITY - GODBrother Joey Bynoe: “Goodnight my precious brothers and sisters. The only authority on the seventhunders is God. [Congregation says, “Amen!”]. My precious brother is in a delusion and he needs deliverance.I pray that the Lord will help him.” [Congregation says, “Amen!”].Then we had Brother Ruthven come up, and if you give him a chance he will preach a long message.SPIRIT OF HUMILITY VERSUS PRIDEBrother Ruthven: “Well my brethren, I heard a statement made in the letter, saying that pride is man’sgreatest enemy. But I came to find out that he doesn't have a revelation of pride, because if he understands whatpride is then he will know what humility is, and he is proud. Because, I have been thinking aboutBrother Branham and Brother Bob. When Brother Branham came and said, “You believe me to be God’sprophet?” He said, “You know a prophet is a preacher.”A real man of God doesn’t try to exalt himself, and claim anything. Because the Bible says, let anotherpraise thee. And a definition of pride is a high estimation of self, and the Bible says to esteem others betterthan your self. But he has lifted up himself and is making a claim. That is an antichrist spirit. So what he needsto do is go and pray and ask God to humble his proud heart. Because it is pride that has caused the wholeproblem, and that was from the beginning. Pride entered into Lucifer’s heart. So he needs the mercy of God.We have an example in our midst here; Brother Dalton Bruce, who makes himself of no reputation. Idon’t mean to sound sacrilegious. If anybody should make himself something should be Brother Bruce. But theSpirit of Christ is humility, and that is what I see in God’s servant here, Brother Dalton Bruce; the spirit ofhumility. Don't care what praises this congregation gives him, he always turns it back and gives it to the Lord,and that is what the true Spirit of Christ is. It gives the glory back to God, but this here is self-glory. And itshows that is an antichrist spirit.Jesus made himself of no reputation, but howbeit, our brother tried to make himself a reputation and wewouldn't fall for it. So may God have mercy upon his soul. And I want to say that Brother Branham said,humility is greatness and greatness is humility, and he has a proud spirit that needs to be humbled and may heCXIV
go forward and pray that prayer unto God after this cloud of witnesses here, and ask God to humble his heart,that he might be delivered.”Then we had a humble brother by the name of Brother Anant Persad. Many of you know him. I led himto the Lord as a little boy, and then he used to follow my preaching everywhere, and I looked around and he justwent away after a time. And then one day I saw him come up there with brother Ruthven, and he said, “I cameto repent!” He sat down there for another twenty nine years and he is a real gentleman. A very wonderfulbrother, and God gave him a precious wife: “Sister Violet.” For seventeen years they never had a baby aftermarriage, and the Lord blessed them and gave them the baby after seventeen years. And Brother Bynoe beatthat. Nineteen years after, the Lord gave this precious, little baby. Pray for the baby that it would be in goodhealth. Brother Anant is very short and very careful with his words, but he loves the Lord.MADE HIMSELF OF NO REPUTATIONBrother Anant: “Goodnight brethren. Well, what I want to say really, because of a true man of God, atrue servant of God that has preached solid truth unto us over the years, we could truly say, and I believe that allof us will be in agreement, that what we heard on that letter tonight, as Brother Sterlin said, is just madness.That is the thought that keep coming to me when we heard those things. I believe the brother really needsdeliverance and it actually helped me to appreciate my pastor a little more to see the truth that we have heardand how Brother Ruthven was saying that he would not make himself of any reputation. And this brothercame here, and talking like that, and making these kinds of statements on that letter, he really needs deliverancebrethren.”And then Brother Peter Soon who came there many years ago. That precious brother. He was followingVin. And then the Lord brought that Brother. He heard the Word of God. Never turned back. Had all kinds ofups and downs, but the Lord blessed that Brother and he has been a wonderful song leader since that time.GOD MANIFESTED IN FLESHBrother Peter Soon: “Brethren tonight I pity Brother Tanny, because I see a soul on its way to hell, ifthe Lord does not grant him deliverance. Some of the things that Brother Tanny said here tonight are totalmadness. To claim that from the 12th November 1964, to be God manifested in flesh, even while God’s greatprophet Elijah was upon the earth, and no where did God’s great prophet ever mention that God was manifestedin flesh on the 12th November 1964. And then go further to say that he even thinks that the foolish virgins aregoing to go into the lake of fire, and burn and become fire, which is the Word of God, that is totally erroneous,because we know that once you go into the lake of fire that is the second death. There is no salvation for youafter that. And I really pity the brother tonight. To claim to be the son of man manifested upon the earth is noeasy claim, and I really pity him and I trust that the Lord will somehow deliver him and take him out of thatdelusion. Amen.”And then we had the contribution of Brother Errol Ayres. Several of you know him. The Lord broughthim way back down there in the time when they put me as Jim Jones. I guess he was one of those fellows whocame to see “Jim Jones” and then stayed right there. And his wife came afterwards and was a very wonderfulyoung woman. The Lord brought her from very far. She was so dedicated that she used to get up at 3 O’ clockin the morning, go to the toilet, sit on the seat and pray for Brother Bruce. I would learn these things after herdeparture. She used to come around and say, “Brother Bruce, can I do something for you. Let me clean yourCXV
shoes.” I would not allow her to do it. I don’t like anybody cleaning my shoes. I was over in St. Vincent at thattime when she passed away, and I did not know that she had passed away. I was laying on a bed turned in acertain direction and I saw her, beautiful and young, and she just walked across the wall, in seconds, beautifuland young. And knowing her, I said, “That is Cindy.” And she said, “Brother Bruce, God has shown me muchfavour”, and then she vanished. I saw her in her theophany. And then they called me and said, “Sister Cindy haspassed on.” It was very shucking.After this life is over we have another body, and it is young and beautiful, and the Lord gave me thatprivilege to see that sister and I was very much comforted. So Brother Errol Ayres has been a gallant brotherwith his family there for many long years. And he lost his wife, and then the Lord gave him another wife.OVER-AMBITIOUS SPIRIT – DELIVERANCE SELDOMBrother Errol Ayers: “I will like to say goodnight and I am really scared. The first time I saw thebrother I said, “He didn't get delivered as yet?” I really know that, that spirit is a terrible spirit. You don't reallysurvive that. And I really, really have to pray for that brother. Brother, I tell you, I really thank God for a trueservant of God that we could be able to detect and know that is contrary to what we sat here and heard. Totallycontrary.You know, the same thing that Brother Peter said, I took note of, that is the foolish virgins. I know thatis altogether wrong. Even the spirit of the brother, like he is coming against the foundation here, trying to tell usthat we shouldn’t say anything about Brother Bruce. I believe that we cannot help that. The Word we arehearing here and the truth, we are not responsible for really saying what we say when we come to this pulpit,concerning the man of God. And everyone knows that we are not exalting any man. We are just thankful for theservant of God in our midst, and the blessing that he had been unto us.From the first time I saw the whole thing, I tried to listen but I was scared. To be honest I was sacred to be sure that nothing like that doesn’t come down inside of me. You understand? I am telling you, that's the truth. To be honest, that brother really needs help. He really needs help. I don't know. I believe that is a self- exalted spirit. I believe that is a real spiritually ambitious spirit. You understand? And I see the strength of that, to be honest. God bless you.”They have seen that at Bethel: People who allowed those spirits to come upon them, who claimed to be Christ and God don’t survive that. It takes plenty pride, plenty ambition, plenty lust, plenty blasphemy in your heart to claim such things. Brother, how a man could think that he is God? I cannot get over how a man could reach into that situation. “I am Christ? God? Son of man? The Bridegroom?” Impossible! The only thing that I could relate that to is people who did not purge out self and pride and ambition, finally received one of those spirits of the end time, and then it convinces them that they are that. And when they are convinced that they are Christ, then they start speaking to you under that inspiration, and are anointed by the devil. That is the only way that I feel that could happen. A man must be powerfully anointed to come to the pulpit and say, “I am Christ, I am Michael the archangel.” So now, that relates to his name, that is why he said he is Michael the archangel.Mr. Absalom. He is going to face these words on the day of judgment. I believe he has crossed his borderline of repentance.Brother Narine: “Goodnight saints. Now, from the teaching of the man of God, I don’t know; that spirit doesn’t like to hear that. That spirit said, don’t say anything about Brother Bruce. But it is a simplePRESENCE OF GOD BACKS UP THE WORDCXVI
thing to know whether something is of God or not. You don’t have to know any doctrine. Did anybody feel the presence of the Lord when that brother was reading that? [Congregation says, “No!] Now, we know that the Spirit of the Lord backs up the Word of God.It is even easier than that. When God’s servant was in Connecticut, he wrote a letter and sent it. And not even being present, there was a great and mighty presence at the very reading of the words of the Lord... as the man of God said... on the gateway to the soul, I believe for a devil like that to enter into a man, he had to be thinking the wrong thoughts... if God makes a man something, nobody can bring him down... neither could any man take that position... there is no weapon that is formed against the Lord...We feel what we feel. When we feel the presence of the Lord we know God backs up His Word... I love you... but the spirit you have upon you, we don’t love that... Amen.”Brother Barrow: “Those are twelve witnesses, and I find that they have done tremendously. I tell you, they have done exceptionally well. And at this time we will ask them to take their seats. Thank you very much. This was not prearranged. Nothing was prearranged here. I did not meet the brothers outside and prompted them to say anything. This was impromptu (unarranged). Even I coming here and handling this matter, it was impromptu. It was not prearranged. So it was not something that was planned.However, I would also like to ask the congregation what do they think of this spirit? Do you think that this spirit is of God? [Congregation responds, “NO!”] Can I see those hands? All right, you can take them down. Brother Tanny, you put up your hands, what does that indicates?”Tanny speaking: “I am with my pastor. I saw his hands go up, so my hand went up”Brother Barrow speaks: “However, that spirit is not the Spirit of Christ, it is not the Spirit of God, and if it is not the Spirit of God, if it is not the Spirit of Christ, then it is an antichrist spirit. Anything contrary to the Word of God is antichrist.Beloved, I want to say, for one to claim such office is taking too big a bite. I tremble. I would not think a second thought or even a first thought to even claim that office. Even though I may be spiritually ambitious, I do not even take a thought of being an apostle or a prophet. Whatever God has for us He is going to give it to us. I do not take those thoughts.However, I believe that is an over-ambitious spirit. In other words it is a self-exalted spirit. It is not a humble spirit, beloved, and I will conclude. I do not know if the servant of the Lord wishes to come, but I will conclude by saying that, to me, Brother Tanny is not well. That is one of his problems. He is not well, and he needs to see a physician, and I will recommend him to see his doctor and take whatever treatment his doctor prescribes for him so that he may be made well, and we wish that Brother Tanny King will really come to himself, really, really come to himself.I really do not want to add salt to injury, but this piece of literature beloved, if you do not have a good heart and a good mind, I tell you, it will have you all lop-sided. It will have you confused because I know many in the congregation did not understand this.I had to read this several times to really grasp it. Hearing it for the first time you wouldn’t really grasp it. You will grasp certain things. However, I believe my pastor is in with us. Brother Tanny needs to see a physician right away, and you need to take whatever is prescribed by the physician for you, for your health.However, I believe that we should all remember Brother Tanny in prayer. We should all pray for our brother that he will really come to himself. He needs our prayers more than ever. It is a real sad case and it is aANTICHRIST SPIRITCXVII
real pitiful case, brother, a soul like that, it is on its way to the tribulation, if the Lord does not turn it around, and possible on its way to Hell. I do not know, however I do not know if you want to say something Brother Tanny? Come, I see you lifted your hands. Let’s hear what you have to say.”Tanny King: “Well, brothers and sisters, I just want to say thanks to the man of God. And ever since, I have been subject to the man of God. I have put this literature to him and I asked him for his opinion on it and I believe if he had something to tell me, he could have told me and I would have just obeyed because I am very obedient unto him. I respect him, I respect his words. If he said, “Brother Tanny, this is of the devil,” then that is of the devil. Then that is the end of it.I have no objections to the man of God, as I have made clear. He told me to read it for you and I read it to you. If the man of God says, “Brother Tanny, repent here now, this is of the Devil”; then this is of the devil. That’s gone, take your flight. I am subject unto the man of God. I am just here because he told me to be here.”Brother Barrow: “All right, thank you. All right, that is the end of that part of the meeting for now.”Brother Bruce comes to the pulpit: “Well this is nothing too strange to us. Many have never experienced the moving of an antichrist spirit, so as a result, I thought that I would educate the congregation tonight and let you have a first hand experience to see for yourselves, and understand for yourselves, how an antichrist spirit moves, how wonderful the antichrist spirit can put words together.Now, Satan is a very bright fellow, very bright. The Devil can put words together. Now, what you and I could laugh at tonight, and be very relaxed about, being assured in our hearts, that is not of God, will delude millions, and such teachings around the world have millions of people believing that, supporting it with their money and their very lives, at the expense of their souls. Now there is a man called Soto Santiago, and he claimed the exact ministry of being the son of man, the seven thunders, claim to be the coming of Christ, and all these other claims, and he has deceived the whole of the Latin-speaking world in South America. Literally thousands and tens of thousands of people follow him and he uses the name of Brother Branham and he has come close to this revelation.So now, what you have experienced here tonight is to test what is inside of you, and I used this as a means here tonight to see how spiritual some really are and to sit back and hear my congregation deal with an antichrist spirit, and I must say that they are heroes of the faith. They are heroes of the faith and they have proven themselves having the right discernment.Another reason Brother Tanny, that I allowed you to come up here and read your own letter, is that this letter was written to the church, although my name was in it, it was written to the church. And another good reason is that I wanted to give you a fair chance since you think you have a message for the church. I did not want to be partial in my ways and just discard your message and discard your thoughts and ideas. I wanted you to present what you have to the congregation and let the congregation be the judge of whether the things that are presented to them are wrong or right. And if I were to ask tonight if you had made a believer or a convert from the things that you expounded, I will do that for your sake and to further convince you that the spirit that is upon you is not of God and is of the antichrist.Is there somebody, somewhere in this congregation will slip your hand up and say that “I believe the things that Brother Tanny said and projected tonight?” Is there a hand that will rise? Do they believe ten percentI AM OBEDIENT & SUBJECT TO THE MAN OF GODTEST CONGREGATION BY ANTICHRISTCXVIII
of it? Five percent of it, one percent? Let me see. Somebody believes in one percent? How many say, no percent? [Congregation says, “No percent!’] I further did this, not in a way of betrayal to your trust in me as your shepherd, but this spirit is so powerful that I am not sure that you are convinced that you are wrong, because this came up before brother, where you claimed this very same ministry of Michael the Archangel and you were going to be crucified for the sins of the people. And as your shepherd, I warned you about it and after I warned you about it, you still wanted to walk in your own ways. You ended up in the insane asylum. The Devil put you in the insane asylum. You lost your job. You separated from your wife, and were not for the mercy and the grace of God, you would be a dead man. And seeing that you went through all of those things and you never did learn and could still fall back into that delusion, beloved, there is something down inside of you that needs correcting.And how a man gets into these delusions is a simple word called “ambition”; self-ambition. And there is something down in you that desires to be somebody great and something great, and in order for your deliverance, you must come to a place where you give up that. You have to beg God on your knees everyday; “Lord help me to give up this ambition of being something great.”Now, that ambition is very strong brother, and the greatest position that any man could ever claim is what you have claimed tonight. That is the highest that any man could ever claim, and that is what Lucifer wanted, that caused him to be kicked out from Heaven. That is what Lucifer wanted.So now, this is not just a little spirit of some kind. This is a powerful antichrist spirit. And what happened is that spirit is so powerful that it just attacks you in different ways. And right now that this spirit is exposed, it is already planning another way, and as long as you have that medium in your heart of self and ambition, you would accept another plan of Satan to deceive you. So now, the simple thing that you need to repent for is that ambition, that desire for a ministry, that desire of being someone great, that desire of being somebody to be admired. That does not come by our desires. It is ordained of God before the foundation of the world.God has to choose a man and give him a position, and when He gives him such position, He gives him the humility with it that he does not fall into condemnation through pride and self-exaltation.So may the Lord have mercy upon you, brother. This has not changed my love for you. No, I see you as the other brothers see you; one in need of immediate deliverance, and I want you to understand that when I said, “Go take your medicine,” it was not spiritual, neither was it in a dimension. It was right down here on earth. I mean go and take your tablets that the natural doctor gave to you. It did not mean what the Great Physician is giving you. It simply means, go and see your doctor, get your treatment.So may the Lord help you, and I really trust that you are convinced tonight of how wrong you are; not of the doctrine alone. This is blasphemy for a man to stand up here and say, “I am Christ, I am the Light, I am the seven thunders.” This is blasphemy to the highest, the highest blasphemy. And with all the years that I have preached this revelation, twenty-some years, it has never entered my mind to ever claim such an office, of a prophet, much more to claim to be the son of man, because I know that scripture is already fulfilled.That ministry was summed up in the Shout and the Voice. The next vessel that God is going to chose to manifest the son of man is a many-membered body, and that fulfils the three-fold purpose of God, where God was in Christ in a Shout and a Voice, and then Christ in the Bride, and the third-fold of that mystery, to restore all things back to its original condition, while Christ is in the BrideHOW DELUSIONS“I AM CHRIST” – BLASPHEMY - INSANITY SPIRITCXIX
There is no Scripture, there is no room, there is no place in Scripture for another to use that office of the full body revealed Word of God tabernacled in a human being. The next thing on the agenda is that the Bride will be the fullness of the Godhead bodily. She will be all the Word of God put together, so until then we humble ourselves in the sight of the Lord. Let us humble ourselves and my admonishment to you my brother is humble yourself. Now that in itself is a delusion. Let me show you how deluded you are.I CANNOT PASTOR CHRISTHere you claimed that you are Michael, the Second Coming of Christ, the Light, the Christ and all these other things and here you have a Pastor and here Michael has a Pastor. Christ has a Pastor, the Light of the World has a Pastor. Now, see what a delusion that is?When Jesus Christ came as the Son of man did He have a Pastor? No sir, No. And here out of one mouth you say you are that and out of the next mouth you say that you have a Pastor and that you are obedient to your Shepherd. If you were obedient to your Shepherd you would be hearing what I am preaching here a long time ago and you would humble yourself in the sight of the Lord.So now, it is a delusion that would make you think that you are in that position. Can I pastor Christ? Can I pastor Michael? No! I cannot pastor Him and as long as you claim that ministry I could never pastor you. Impossible, how could I pastor Christ, no, it is a delusion in itself. Now, a revelation does not break up so fast, a revelation does not give up so quickly. Now how this could be inspired and how this could be Michael and how this could be Christ and how this could be God and with only twelve witnesses and because I raise my hand it broke your revelation. No, a revelation stands firm. When I preach here, a thousand people can raise their hands stating that they don’t believe what I preached, I would continue preaching anyhow because I have a divine revelation and nobody could turn me from the faith because I know what I know and I have a divine revelation that the Gates of Hell cannot prevail over.So we conclude tonight that our beloved brother is in a Satanic delusion of the Devil and I join voices with the twelve others and the congregation here that our brother is in a Satanic delusion and needs immediate deliverance and my advice to him is to start from the medical doctor and get some treatment for your head and then get some treatment for your soul.Now, these false doctrines damage the brain, it damages the head and that is an insanity spirit. Now these insanity spirits have been loosed since the Opening of the Seals and they are around the world. So these insanity spirits we have come across for the past twenty something years and this might be alarming and very surprising to our visitors, our young believers, but we have “Bethel Experiences” on tapes everywhere, and everything that arose and claimed that ministry and did not repent, it is sad to say that they went to the insane asylum, they died and the rest of them are in the world tonight.Some blew their heads off after speaking to me. Dead, literally dead. Yes, went to the insane asylum. I am not saying that to scare you but just letting you know these insanity spirits are loosed on the earth and let this be a lesson, a little warning if you are pre-meditating about how great you are going to make yourself when you hear this revelation; beloved you are making a sad mistake. This is an example tonight to the whole world and this congregation, do not exalt yourself and think that you have heard so much revelation now that you could show how much you know in the Bible and in the Scripture. You are dead before you start.Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and He shall lift you up.[Songleader leads the congregation in the song, “Humble Thyself in the Sight of the Lord.”]DO NOT EXALT YOURSELF BY THIS REVELATIONCXX
Oh beloved, thank God for the Opening of the Seals. Beloved this is why the Seals were opened. You know how many millions of people are following these insanity spirits around the world? What you smiled at tonight and wondered how a brother could be so foolish, deceives people by the millions.Do you know why you could smile at something like that? Because of the Opening of the Seals. Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to open the seven seals. Were not for the opening of the seven seals and you have a congregation exposed to such a spirit my beloved, half of the congregation would go with it. That is how serious that is. This spirit was exposed by a divine revelation.If my brother wants to go free tonight he could be set free. Do you know what will set him free? The exposure of that spirit and if he will believe the things that were told him tonight that it is an antichrist spirit, that is all he has to believe, he has to believe, “I am wrong, that is an antichrist sprit, the whole church say so and my Pastor says so” and dump everything on the ground, turn his back on the devil and say, “I am going free,”So my brother if you want to be made free you can be free tonight. Whom the Son of Man hath made free is free indeed. He is in our midst. So may the Lord bless your hearts. We want to thank you for your patience. This was quite a service tonight and I thought I would give you a lesson tonight, a first hand lesson, concerning this moving of the antichrist spirit that you might see and understand for yourselves how the spirit of the antichrist moves and how he presents his case to the church of God, but you can go out rejoicing tonight that you have something that will repel, that will throw out that, will reject everything contrary to the Word of God.And while sitting there if you have something there that is receiving that thing my Brother you need a divine revelation. But if you have something down in you from the very start that objected to it and the very countenance of the brother wasn’t too nice and the very voice was not registering with you, be sure of one thing you have the Word of God down in you and the Holy Ghost has anointed you. With our heads bowed and our eyes closed.Lord Jesus, Lord you have heard and you have seen and Lord with love in my heart and concern for that soul I bring Brother Tanny King tonight, Lord I pray that you would curse that evil spirit. I rebuke that spirit in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth but above all Lord, I rebuke his desires, I rebuke that Devil that put that ambition upon him and I curse that spirit of self in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth and set the captive free.We thank you for the Opening of the Seals, tonight and we thank you for deliverance for our souls. We thank you Lord for putting what you put in our souls that can reject the counsel of the antichrist. We humbly commit ourselves into your hands tonight, thank you for these twelve gallant men and many more that could have come up to the pulpit and voice their opinion, Lord it gladdens my heart to know that there are men that can recognize that spirit without doubt and condemn that spirit.I could see that army in training tonight ready to go out and do battle with Satan, Lord, defeating the enemy around the world and bringing deliverance to God’s children. Help them all Lord and bless our little sisters and brothers and go with us and be with us for we pray and ask these things in Jesus’ name. Amen!PRESENT CONDITIONAfter this showdown when Tanny claimed to have repented, lifted his hand with the congregation in agreement that the spirit upon him was not the Spirit of God, thanked the man of God, claimed to be subject to him and said that if he said it was of the devil, then it is and he will let loose of it, he continued in his delusion, was dismissed from Bethel and became a Rastafarian, which is a cult that originated in Jamaica, whose God isYOU CAN BE FREE FROM THIS SPIRITCXXI
Haile Selassie, a former Emperor of Ethiopia, whom they hail as the conquering lion of the tribe of Judah, who died in a mud hut in Ethiopia, being overthrown by his grandson.Tanny was later shot by a gunman and ended up in the hospital, and when spoken to by a brother, he was yet in that delusion and claimed to have never stopped calling on the Lord.His wife said that he told her that he is Jesus Christ and she was his bride. He was yet acting in an insane manner. She eventually left him, went abroad and filed for a divorce. His present condition is that he is yet a Rastafarian, he is still in that delusion, have not denounced that satanic ministry and still claims to be serving the Lord. May the Lord have mercy upon his soul.“PROPHET” DAVID - CRYSTAL – “THE PSALMIST”	  Let	   me	   relate	   to	   you	   one	   case.	   There	   was	   a	   lovely	   brother	   who	   came	   here;	   a	   real	   healthy	   looking	   young	  man.	  	  Brother	  Phillip	  Quaccoo	  came	  along	  with	  him.	  His	  name	  was	  David	  Paul,	  a	  real	  Bible	  name.	  Be	   careful;	  you	  do	  not	  put	  meanings	  to	  your	  names,	  and	  apply	  things	  selfishly	  to	  yourself.	  	  Do	  not	  do	  that.	  	  Now,	   sometimes	   they	   take	   those	   names	   and	   spiritualize	   them,	   and	   with	   a	   Bible	   name	   they	   think	   that	   they	   are	   something	   special.	   	   This	   man	   -­‐	   David	   Paul’s	   brothers	   are	   here,	   but	   I	   say	   this	   for	   the	   edification	   of	   the	   congregation.	   This	   brother	   went	   on	   real	   nice.	   	   He	   said:	   “It	   is	   the	   greatest	   thing	   I	   have	   ever	   heard;	   it	   is	   the	   gospel	  truth!”	  	  He	  sat	  a	  long	  time	  and	  was	  always	  well	  dressed,	  but	  there	  was	  something	  funny	  about	  this	  man,	  that	   the	  Lord	  helped	  me	  to	  discern.	  	  	  I	  felt,	  something	  was	  wrong.	  	  So	  I	  asked	  Brother	  Phillip	  Quaccoo	  if	  he	  would	   do	   me	   a	   favour	   to	   go	   across	   and	   ask	   Brother	   David	   if	   he	   would	   deny	   that	   he	   is	   a	   prophet?	   Brother	   Phillip	   went	   over	   and	   asked:	   “Brother	   David,	   would	   you	   ever	   deny	   that	   you	   are	   a	   prophet?”	   	   He	   said:	   “I	   would	   never	   deny	   that	   I	   am	   a	   prophet.	   I	   am	   a	   prophet!	   Together	   with	   that,	   I	   am	   David	   the	   Psalmist	   and	   the	   song-­‐ leaders	  have	  no	  right	  to	  be	  leading	  songs.	  	  	  I	  am	  the	  one	  who	  is	  supposed	  to	  be	  leading	  songs.	  	  I	  am	  David,	   and	  I	  have	  the	  name	  of	  the	  Psalmist	  and	  song-­‐leader,	  and	  furthermore	  I	  want	  to	  tell	  you,	  that	  message	  that	   Brother	   Bruce	   preached	   the	   other	   night	   was	   not	   inspired.”	   Well,	   you	   know,	   that	   was	   the	   message	   that	   exposed	  him.	  He	  was	  so	  “spiritual”	  and	  had	  so	  much	  “love”	  that	  he	  was	  always	  around	  the	  children.	  After	  service	  he	   did	   not	   want	   to	   have	   anything	   to	   do	   with	   the	   adults.	   So	   I	   got	   him	   aside,	   and	   I	   said,	   “Brother,	   you	   are	   going	   wrong,	   do	   you	   really	   believe	   that	   you	   are	   a	   prophet?”	   “Yes,	   I	   believe	   that	   I	   am	   a	   prophet!”	   “Brother,	   when	   were	   you	   born	   again?”	   “The	   other	   night,	   while	   you	   were	   preaching!”	   I	   said,	   “I	   never	   fathered	   anything	   like	   you.	   When	   did	   the	   Lord	   reveal	   to	   you	   that	   you	   are	   a	   prophet?”	   He	   said,	   “Do	   you	   remember	   the	   night	   you	   were	   preaching	   on	   the	   crystal?	   I	   am	   that	   crystal!	   Remember	   that	   night	   you	   were	   preaching	   on	   the	   son	   of	   man?	  I	  am	  he!”	  	  I	  said,	  “Brother,	  repent,	  it’s	  a	  delusion	  of	  the	  devil”	  He	  said:	  “Who	  me?	  I	  will	  never	  repent!”	   He	  got	  real	  angry.	  I	  said	  “You	  have	  one	  choice,	  to	  repent,	  by	  bowing	  down	  to	  this	  congregation	  and	  kneeling	   down	   and	   crying	   for	   mercy,	   or	   leave	   this	   tabernacle,”	   He	   said:	   “I	   will	   leave!”	   He	   turned	   around	   and	   went	   out.	  He	  ended	  up	  in	  the	  insane	  asylum.	  He	  went	  mad.	  “Disobedience	  is	  as	  the	  sin	  of	  witchcraft;	  stubbornness	   is	  as	  iniquity	  and	  idolatry.”	  He	  lost	  his	  mind.	  Sad!	  Real	  sad!	  They	   were	   lovely	   brothers	   just	   like	   you	   and	   I,	   but	   just	   had	   the	   wrong	   motives	   and	   objectives,	   and	   the	   wrong	   desires.	   They	   wanted	   to	   be	   somebody	   greater	   than	   what	   the	   Lord	   wanted	   them	   to	   be.	   And	   the	   Lord	  said:	  Romans	   12:3,	   16	   <For	   I	   say,	   through	   the	   grace	   given	   unto	   me,	   to	   every	   man	   that	   is	   among	   you,	   not	   to	   think	  of	  himself	  more	  highly	  than	  he	  ought	  to	  think;	  but	  to	  think	  soberly,	  according	  as	  God	  hath	  dealt	  to	  every	   man	  the	  measure	  of	  faith.	  ...	  Mind	  not	  high	  things,	  but	  condescend	  to	  men	  of	  low	  estate...>	  	   CXXII
	   	  	REPENTEDIt	  is	  better	  to	  think	  of	  yourself	  less	  than	  to	  think	  of	  yourself	  more	  highly	  than	  you	  ought	  to	  think.	  	He came out from the mental home, and he visited me. He said; “Brother, I realized that I did foolishly I want to come back to the Lord.” I said: “I want to help you with all my heart, to come back.” He said, “Please tell me where I went wrong?” I said, “By believing that you are a prophet.” The Lord never gave you any such Office.” He said, “Okay brother, I will repent.” He came here, knelt down on his two knees, lifted his hand to the congregation and repented. “How many were here who know that to be the truth?” The Lord helped him; did he get better and did he get sound and sane, and was looking just like he used to be? How many say, “Amen?” [Congregation says, “Amen!”]He sat down and started hearing the Word of God again. He was very ambitious; that ambition of being a great man. They also found in the psychiatric ward, under examination: the doctors said that such things happen to people when they have great ambition in life and it is not fulfilled. After a while, I discerned that spirit was around him again. I watched him and told the Deacons to watch him. He started going crazy, got demon possessed and would just stand and stare. He was a strong fellow and could easily kill someone.One day at twelve o’clock, I was sitting on the side of the tabernacle, and about twenty feet away from me, I saw him standing before me, about ready to spring on me. He would not wink; he stood up and watched me fixed. He said: “I bring many demons here.” I don’t know what he was doing but he had his hands up, ready to spring before I could get up. I said: “In the name of Jesus Christ stand still; I bind you!” And he bowed and knelt down and lifted up his two hands. I walked over to him and said, “Get up and sit down.”Well, I do not claim to have such powers, but the grace of the Lord, in such a moment, I believe He helps His children. We are looking for such power, but I believe the Lord supplies our needs. So I took control of him; my wife was watching through the louvres. I said: “Sit down here. Tell me, how did you get into this condition again?” He said, “A pillar of fire appeared to me and told me that I am a prophet,” and while talking to him I said: “This is a lying devil!” I was trying to deliver his soul by exposing that demon. There and then he started staring at my feet and his feet. I said “What are you seeing? You are seeing that pillar of fire, aren’t you?” He said: “Yes. I brought many demons here. I have been fasting for three days now, and as I was walking through the road, there were demons that started walking with me.” He said: “And Brother Dalton, I bring many devils here, and they are talking right into my ear.” I began talking to him and those devils thought they would be exposed, and in just a couple minutes he fell asleep. I shook him up and said: “Wake up!” And I spoke to him. While speaking to him his eyes opened up, I said: “It is the devil that spoke to you. That is not Almighty God! You’re not a prophet! You have no ministry”. I said, “And if you continue with this, you will end up in the insane asylum again. You need to repent.”He did, he repented and came out of his daze and sat there, looking normal. I brought a plate of food for him and he had a meal. I said, “Well, you need to listen to some tapes and wait for service in the tabernacle, the Lord will help you”. I went home and don’t know what happened, but possibly that devil came back there and deceived him. He went and climbed half-way up a tree and sat down there, in a daze, staring. Everybody was passing there for church and he was right there sitting. I knew he was in trouble again. So I thought he would come to the meeting and the Lord would help him. So he came over at night, and that devil tried to use him while service was in progress, to get everybody in trouble. The devil got upon that boy and he walked up the baptism pool and took a headlong dive down into the water. The pool was about four feet deep, made of concrete. It was only the mercy of God that caused him not to hit his head on the concrete.Brother Barrow and different ones were there; they heard that plunge and grabbed him quickly and pulled him out of that water. You know what that devil tried to do? Would the police ever have believed that we were not baptizing that man? Would they have ever believed that man dived into that pool? No, they would say that we were baptizing that man and killed him.CXXIII
After he came out of that pool, I saw that daze upon that man, wrathful, horrible, terrible and demon possessed. He went out and he was in and out of the insane asylum. You cannot play around this revelation.Humble thyself in the sight of the Lord. You cannot exalt yourself, you have to humble yourself, be obedient, it is the way of eternal life, but we have to realize that the devil is always at us, to take us away from eternal life and put us into a delusion. This poor, deluded young man became an insane vagrant, ate from the garbage bins, was guilty of gross immorality, too sinful to mention, and was sick with several diseases. He finally died. I am in hope that the Lord had mercy upon his soul and trust that I am not wrong in my suggestion.You could be so ambitious and you want your desires to be fulfilled in your life until you go mad. Whenyou go mad, you will do the wrong things. That’s the hope that I am laying on, that this fellow had such a deepdesire and the same desire to be a prophet and a great man, he worried about that so much and he got into thisdelusion. One thing he was saying in the mad house was that Brother Bruce took away his ministry. That’s adangerous fellow. Yes! Brother Bynoe had known this fellow. He lived right next door to him. That’s adangerous thing. Now, a man who thinks that you took away something from him could kill you. And thosedemons came there on the side and he was getting ready to jump on me. It was the mercy of the Lord thatsubdued that devil. I could not get up in time. No sir! And all that came over me was faith that rose in my heartand I said, “I bind you, Satan”, and he knelt right down, lifted his two hands and surrendered.Now, you do not play with sin. The kind of immorality that boy was involved in is too shameful tomention on this pulpit. But the man had gone mad. I am hoping because of that ambition, the man went staringmad and he did not know what he was doing. He was a wonderful young man.And somebody could worry about getting a boy, so much more than eternal life, they could go crack,they could get depressed, they could go into the mental home. You could be worried so much about getting agirl and put so much emphasis upon that, more than eternal life, that you get depressed and jump over a cliff.Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and its righteousness and all other things shall be added to you. We shouldnot seek anything else in this life first place and get foolish and stupid and get like a dog in heat looking for thefemale. He leaves his home and is looking everywhere for the female. He passes across the highway and a truckhits him and kills him, and you see him with his four feet up in the air, swollen up on the side of the road. Lustcarried him away and he did not achieve what he went out for because he sought it the wrong way.You do not get stupid, you do not go after the things of this world as though you are being deprived.Brethren, God will give us what we are supposed to have. If we trust Him for eternal life first place then theLord will take care of our natural needs.Don’t you know that the heavenly Father that we serve could drop down one ton of gold right now foreach one of us? One ton each! But He knows that is not good for us. He must send us through some sort of trial,some sort of testing, and through suffering is our perfection.So David crystal died. His brother: Ulric Farmer, went and sought out his body and put it in the grave. Icompliment Brother Farmer for that. Although that fellow was a vagrant, he sought out his body, paid his ownmoney and buried his brother. I still hope that man’s soul could be saved. But what a punishment, what a way togo out of the world.	NOAH “THE PROPHET”Three men came to Bethel. One was the mighty “Soldier”, one was a lovely brother called McQueen and the other was a man called Cyril. So at the end of the meeting, I spoke to the three men and Mr. Cyril had a spirit on him that I discerned was not the Spirit of the Lord. Now, these things you discern in people and as a minister, though you know them, you want to work with such believers to purge those things out, knowing that every one of us has certain habits that we came with from the world. Now, after working to take the devil off that man and you see that he would not give up that spirit, something is wrong with that man’s desires, motives and objectives, when he would not yield.CXXIV
I found a boastful spirit in that man. “Soldier” (Brother Rogers) had a different spirit in him. And while preaching was in progress that man used to cry very loudly in the meeting. Some of you who were here know that. How many know that? Crying very aloud in the meeting? One night, I was praying at the church and the Lord revealed to me that it was not genuine, but that the man was crying because he believed that he was a prophet. I said that I would put this revelation to a Word test. So I took the Word of the Lord and preached something to see at what point that man would cry. Immediately, when I started preaching about Noah and his family and how they alone received the revelation, that man let out a squall and started crying. Lo and behold, as the time progressed, that man confessed that he believes that he is Noah, the prophet, and he was really a “Knower”. “He knew everything.” Proud, you are talking about a man that could take away a conversation. Brother Rogers would be relating something to me and he would say, “Let me tell it; you are saying it wrong”.I could not bear that man’s spirit, for all the days he was in this tabernacle. He used to tell Brother Rogers that angels are speaking to him every night. He had Brother Rogers in a terrible delusion and fear. He was afraid to attack the spirit of that man. I felt sorry for Brother Rogers. I said, “Lord, deliver this man, he is such a nice man, I hate to see him go out with this false prophet.” He was delivered.He told brother Rogers all kinds of heretical things and had Brother Rogers in terrible fear. After my preaching, he preached another message, in opposition to what I was saying. Supernaturally the Lord brought that out from the pulpit, exposing that spirit right along.I was seeking the Lord, then the Lord came to me and showed that I was on a narrow road with some of the brethren and a great big snake about sixteen feet long was crossing that road. Then at the end of that dream, the Lord brought that knowledge to me somehow, that, that serpent represented that man and he is sitting at a certain door in the tabernacle.A little while after, it came to a showdown. He and Brother Rogers came to the tabernacle. He told him that he was born again. When he came to me I asked, “Are you born again?” He said: “No.” Then I asked Brother Rogers to pray to see how deluded he was by this man. So Brother Rogers prayed a prayer and expressed that he did not know what to believe, whether to believe me or believe that man, and that man got so angry in that discussion that he went home. However, he kept coming to service.He	  was	  crying	  about	  how	  he	  was	  getting	  all	  the	  revelation	  and	  nobody	  else	  was	  getting	  it.	  Also	  how	  he	   and	   his	   family	   alone	   were	   saved	   and	   no	   one	   else	   was	   saved.	   His	   wife	   did	   not	   believe	   him,	   so	   his	   doctrine	   was	   exposed.	   That	   man	   got	   a	   hateful	   spirit	   against	   me.	   Brother	   Rogers	   got	   delivered,	   and	   I	   learned	   by	   certain	   reports	   that	   he	   had	   to	   visit	   the	   insane	   asylum	   for	   some	   treatment.	   You	   cannot	   play	   around	   this	   revelation.	   Note;	  this	  poor	  man	  died	  a	  few	  years	  later.	  	   	  “PROPHET” MATTHEWS	  	  I	   used	   to	   go	   to	   Trinidad	   House	   where	   we	   had	   little	   discussions	   on	   certain	   days.	   Different	   believers	   used	  to	  be	  gathered	  from	  the	  Treasury	  and	  Trinidad	  House	  and	  other	  surrounding	  offices.	  	  	  Prophet	   Matthews	   came	   around	   and	   I	   noticed	   he	   had	   some	   funny	   ways.	   He	   used	   to	   be	   very	   quiet	   and	  had	  his	  hands	  in	  a	  certain	  way	  and	  watched	  in	  a	  certain	  way.	  	  He	  would	  say;	  “Excuse	  me	  please;	  I	  have	   to	  go	  and	  pray.”	  He	  would	  climb	  up	  to	  the	  top	  of	  a	  very	  tall	  building	  where	  the	  water	  tanks	  were	  situated.	   When	  he	  returned,	  he	  would	  sit	  around	  the	  table	  and	  say,	  “There	  is	  a	  funny	  spirit	  here.”	  	  	  	  	  I	  felt	  that	  a	  man	  of	  God	  who	  is	  spiritual	  doesn’t	  act	  like	  that.	  	  I	  said,	  “Brother,	  please,	  would	  you	   tell	  me	  your	  Office?”	  He	  said,	  “I	  am	  an	  Apostle,	  prophet,	  evangelist,	  teacher	  and	  pastor.”	  I	  said,	  “Okay.”	  	  He	   said,	  “Furthermore,	  I	  am	  Elijah	  the	  Prophet”.	  That	  man	  is	  still	  active	  after	  eighteen	  years.	  	  	  Recently,	  I	  went	   down	   to	   a	   great	   evangelical	   campaign;	   sons	   of	   God	   manifested.	   I	   doubt	   it.	   I	   saw	   “Prophet	   Matthews”	   sitting	   there.	   He	   turned	   right	   around	   and	   saw	   me,	   and	   he	   remembered	   me.	   “Prophet	   Matthews”	   was	   still	   active.	  	  However,	  this	  man	  has	  died	  of	  more	  recent	  times.	  	  	CXXV
Another,	   “Elijah”	   came	   in	   here	   one	   day	   with	   a	   big	   beard.	   	   An	   Indian	   fellow,	   maybe	   you	   saw	   him	   preaching	  in	  different	  places.	  	  I	  knew	  him,	  but	  he	  could	  not	  remember	  me.	  	  So	  he	  came	  in,	  sat	  down	  and	  he	   said:	  	  “This	  is	  exactly	  the	  truth,	  I	  want	  to	  sleep	  here	  tonight.”	  	  I	  said,	  “Okay,	  sleep.”	  In	   the	   morning	   when	   he	   got	   up,	   I	   wanted	   to	   find	   out	   what	   he	   believed.	   	   He	   said:	   “I	   am	   Elijah	   the	   Prophet’.	  	  I	  said,	  “You	  are?”	  	  He	  said,	  “Yes!”	  I	  said,	  “Well	  it	  is	  good	  to	  meet	  you,	  Elijah	  the	  Prophet.	  	  Would	   you	   please	   tell	   me	   about	   your	   doctrine?”	   	   He	   said,	   “Listen	   to	   me,	   there	   will	   be	   a	   famine	   in	   this	   land	   and	   there	  would	  not	  be	  water	  anywhere	  except	  in	  one	  spring	  behind	  my	  house.”	  I	  said,	  “Elijah	  the	  Prophet,	  you	   are	   a	   false	   prophet,	   and	   demon	   possessed!	   	   There	   was	   only	   one	   Elijah	   for	   this	   age	   and	   that	   was	   William	   Branham.”	  Well,	  he	  was	  quick	  to	  leave	  then.	  I	  never	  saw	  “Elijah	  the	  prophet”	  since	  that	  time	  and	  no	  famine	   ever	  took	  place.	  	  	  I	   am	   talking	   about	   this	   tabernacle	   here,	   where	   different	   “prophets”	   visited.	   They	   tried	   to	   infiltrate	   this	  congregation,	  but	  because	  of	  the	  opening	  of	  the	  Seals...	  not	  because	  you	  have	  a	  great	  man,	  but	  because	   of	  the	  opening	  of	  the	  Seals,	  because	  of	  the	  opening	  of	  the	  Book,	  those	  false	  prophets	  had	  no	  room.	  	  If	  it	  was	   not	   for	   the	   opening	   of	   the	   Seals,	   I	   would	   be	   deceived.	   	   You	   and	   I	   would	   be	   deceived.	   But,	   because	   of	   the	   opening	  of	  the	  Seals,	  the	  Lord	  exposed	  every	  one	  of	  those	  false	  prophets.	  	  	  “PROPHET & BRIDEGROOM” MATTHEW jOSEPH	  	   	  	There	   was	   another	   Matthew	   who	   came	   to	   Bethel	   in	   the	   mid-­‐eighties.	   He	   was	   a	   very	   wonderful,	   pleasant,	   loving	   and	   helpful	   brother,	   and	   a	   friend	   to	   many.	   He	   led	   an	   ordinary	   life	   and	   was	   employed	   as	   a	   security	   officer	   with	   a	   prominent	   company.	   Nothing	   was	   too	   hard	   for	   him	   to	   do	   for	   the	   brethren.	   At	   that	   time,	   several	   of	   the	   brethren	   had	   no	   vehicles,	   and	   periodically,	   after	   services,	   he	   would	   transport	   some	   at	   late	  hours	  of	  the	  night	  and	  for	  long	  distances,	  to	  their	  homes.	  His testimony is that he had a desire to serve the Lord but never got serious about it until one day when he had a spiritual experience on his jobsite where he worked late hours. He used to pray in the back of the building, in the wee hours of the morning, and one day after praying, he opened his eyes and saw a big cloud like a fiery stone over his head. It began ascending and in the midst of it was an eye like fire watching through the cloud. He then saw six other white clouds, and at the end of them was a man’s head from his neck upwards, which he accepted to be God; the Holy Spirit. After it had departed, he said that he lost the desires for the things of the world and began attending a Pentecostal denominational church. He afterwards came to Bethel, was baptized and stayed at the tabernacle.One of his brothers died and he was very depressed. He suffered from an inferiority complex. He continued to abide at the tabernacle while still on his job, and other brothers were gathered on weekends to fast and pray while they sought to overcome things in their lives.In all his helpfulness and the pleasant person who he was, he was religiously ambitious and selfwilled. When he came to Bethel he wrote down that dream and another experience and gave it to me. I said, “Brother, there is nobody upon the earth who has the right to the interpretation of dreams at this present time. I do not know what your dream is but it looks very well to me that it is the devil.” He failed to believe and accept what I told him and went on trying to figure out that dream and vision. As a result of that he ended up being anointed by the devil.At his baptism, someone took a photograph of him, and he believed that the pillar of fire appeared over him and was photographed and the church was hiding the photo from him. During general prayer and fasting he would be audibly reading Psalms of judgment as though he was praying.He went on a campaign to study the prophet’s message, and started boasting that he didn’t have to listen to my tapes; he was getting his own revelation from the prophet’s messages.CXXVI
He started having other dreams and visions. He related his dreams to a brother, and told him what I had to say about them, and said that one had to be careful that they don’t blaspheme. He told another that I was taking his revelations and preaching them.He went out on a long fast, became critical of my preaching from the pulpit (irreverently fussing while the Word of God went forth) and declared himself to be a prophet. He believed that he had the Spirit of Elijah, that he was Matthew the gospel writer and Joseph the son of Jacob. The Word came down on that deceptive spirit but he refused to let it go. He was determined to prove that he was a prophet.More than a year passed. All efforts through personal counsel and the preached Word from the pulpit failed to bring him to his senses.I assembled the brothers who fasted at the tabernacle, and I asked “Prophet” Matthew Joseph to declare his ministry and how he came to it. He accepted the offer, went to the pulpit, related a vision and dream, after which he interpreted them that the cloud in his vision is the seven angels and the eye represents the seal of God, the Holy Spirit etc, but he concealed the full and complete meanings and applications that he put to them, in order to hide that devil’s ministry.I came to the pulpit and questioned him about his office and by what authority he interpreted the vision and dream. He was very evasive. He did not want to say he was a prophet but admitted that it was some sort of gift by which he interpreted the vision and dream. I told him that he was just trying to be humble. I then asked for the show of hands of those who Brother Matthew had testified to about these experiences and the interpretations he gave, and two brothers lifted their hands.So now, these devils don’t want to tell the pastor who they are, but they will go to different ones in the congregation and declare their ministry and work right there. Now, that is what is happening in India right now. That man would not declare his ministry but he went on telling certain brothers privately who he is, and a couple brothers accepted that and are cutting against Brother Watson. And he almost swallowed a whole church. Yes! And I intervened for the past couple of months and I had been working on that to expose that spirit.If you are listening to me there, precious one, you have up to the 12th August 2009, and I am going to draw my sword. You are not fit to be behind the pulpit. You are not Gabriel the archangel and you are not born again. You have no divine revelation. You need to sit down. You are not fit to pastor those people. You need to let those people go to the other church, and to the man who you kicked out of the church and took away the church from, you need to send those people back there. That’s your only way of salvation.thus:So two brothers lifted their hands and came up and gave their testimonies. Their testimonies revealedBRIDEGROOM – SEVEN THUNDERSBrother Claude Neaves: “Brother Matthew told me that he is the Bridegroom and Revelation 10: 1 with the open book in his hand. Brother Bob’s and Brother Branham’s preachings pointed to him.	The vision of the cloud is the open Bible in the skies which is only for him the Bridegroom. The Bridegroom is already perfect because he was born again and has the baptism of the Holy Spirit.We are baptized into the body, which is Matthew’s physical body, and that red cloud in the dream is where he met the pillar of fire and received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. God sealed the virtues within him. His greatest need is to manifest himself to the Bride because the Bride must know who the Bridegroom is.The preachers in Bethel are only an impersonation of his ministry. The seven thunders was not revealed but the Bridegroom will reveal it. Until we hear the voice of the Bridegroom, nothing is really going on. Only the Bride will catch that revelation.Brother Bruce is against his ministry, and if people don’t understand that ministry they will call it antichrist. We left organization but we have one here in Bethel right under our noses. He knows he will be castCXXVII
out of the congregation but he does not want to leave the brethren in darkness. He is a prophet, which is why he had that vision where the white robes were handed out with Moses and Noah and others.”Brother Seeram: “Brother Matthew said that from the time he got that vision he was born again. When he met that pillar of fire, he had the right to preach the message of the hour and that Brother Bruce’s ministry and the honour and the glory should be given to him (Matthew).”I went to the pulpit and rebuked that spirit with the aim of trying to deliver him. I said:“The Bible warned us not to think more highly of our selves that we ought to. And the claim that Matthew is the highest, to be the Bridegroom Himself, that is gross error and of the devil.Under no condition can a person be born again by a dream. I want to tell you as your pastor, up to this time you are anointed by the devil, literally anointed by the devil. You are heading for the insane asylum.There is only one hope for you and that is to get down on your knees before this audience this morning and repent! And no pretended repentance just as a cover up. You have to do it from your heart.There is no way that I, as a little pastor, can pastor the Bridegroom. And I cannot pastor a prophet. Brother Mathew fooled with something that he was warned about, not being of God. He followed that and he is anointed of the devil, and he thinks of himself the highest that any man could ever think, to be God Himself, the Bridegroom. Imagine such a proud heart.And do you know what led up to that? Brother Mathew suffers form an inferiority complex. That led right up to him thinking that he is somebody in order to be accepted in this world. Right now, everything that I am saying, that anointing of the devil stands right there and gives him an interpretation and is showing him how he is being persecuted for the Word of God. But you are not persecuted for the Word of God, Brother Matthew. You are anointed by a devil. Literally anointed by the devil. And there is only one hope for you, and that is repentance. Get down upon your knees and cry out to God for mercy, repent to the congregation, otherwise you are gone.You are not the Bridegroom, you are not a prophet, you are not called to preach the Word of God and you need to repent. How many say, “Amen!” [Congregation says, “Amen!”]And after a man like you sat and heard Bethel experiences and the Word that goes from this pulpit, you have more guts than a boli (calabash). You have to be really selfwilled; sold out to the devil hook, line and sinker. For a man to sit and hear Bethel experiences and the preaching of a message like that this morning and come up here and claim those things, he is demon-possessed.I don’t have one speck of bitterness or hatred for you. My desire is for you to be delivered.Any spirit that comes against the ministry of Christ and runs down the men of God who are upholding the Word of God, it’s a devil right there. Imagine you judge your pastor as a hypocrite and taking your revelation and preaching it. Imagine you are born again by a dream and have the seal of God in a certain way. Imagine that delusion of a man who sat under this Word of God. Let that be an experience to the tabernacle this morning, and count yourselves privileged to be here to see an example of a deceived man thinking that he is a prophet and the Bridegroom Himself. May the Lord have mercy upon you. Whether you would repent and let that spirit come out of you, I am not sure. It is my desire and the desire of the congregation to see you delivered. [Congregation says, “Amen!”] You are in a terrible shape.Out	   of	   a	   hundred	   men	   that	   I	   have	   seen	   gone	   that	   way,	   I	   have	   only	   seen	   one	   or	   two	   that	   ever	  	  	  	  	  	  	  	  	  	  	  	  	   repented	  and	  came	  out	  of	  it	  and	  they	  are	  always	  backward	  and	  forward	  on	  that	  deception.	  I	  have	  seen	  men	   go	  into	  the	  insane	  asylum.	  	  You	  heard	  all	  of	  that.	  You	  still	  went	  and	  fooled	  with	  a	  dream?	  So	  unspiritual	  that	   you	  went	  and	  fooled	  with	  a	  dream	  and	  put	  an	  interpretation	  to	  it,	  after	  your	  pastor	  has	  spoken	  to	  you.	  I	  want	  to	  tell	  you	  before	  this	  congregation;	  you	  don’t	  have	  one	  speck	  of	  revelation,	  you	  are	  not	  born	   again	   and	   you	   are	   anointed	   by	   the	   devil	   too.	   Sure,	   anointed	   by	   the	   devil.	   	   If	   that	   spirit	   does	   not	   leave	   you,	CXXVIII	  
you	   will	   hate	   me	   for	   the	   rest	   of	   your	   life.	   Because	   right	   now	   it	   is	   telling	   you	   that	   I	   am	   trying	   to	   take	   away	   your	  ministry,	  and	  trying	  to	  take	  your	  revelation	  and	  preach	  it.	  	  You	  said	  that	  baldhead	  is	  a	  sign	  of	  a	  prophet.	  Where	  did	  you	  get	  that	  interpretation	  from?	  [Matthew	   said	  he	  was	  just	  making	  a	  joke.]	  You	  were	  just	  making	  a	  joke?	  You	  are	  a	  joking	  prophet,	  Brother	  Matthew.	  Behave	  yourself.	  Let	  us	  enter	  the	  Kingdom	  of	  God.	  Humble	  yourself	  in	  the	  sight	  of	  the	  Lord.	  There was a brother that was living in Connecticut who had a similar doctrine but that brother repented. He bowed down and said. “God forgive me”, and he is in the tabernacle today and Brother Matthew could do the same thing if he wants to. Not at face value.Watch these false prophets. Beloved, they fake repentance to gain access again to the congregation, so everybody would think that they repented but they will continue to work on the underneath. Down there in India, I don’t want a fake repentance. You must bring forth fruits by your repentance. Get off the pulpit! Set the people free! Repent to all the brothers! And all the bad things you said about the ministers there, you need to go and correct them otherwise your soul is damned.FAKE REPENTANCENow, what do you want to do Brother Matthew? [Matthew said that he wants to repent.] You want to repent. Alright, come in front of the congregation my brother; repent. May the Lord grant you repentance. Let us pray for Brother Matthew.”He	   came	   to	   the	   front	   of	   the	   congregation	   and	   myself	   and	   the	   congregation	   agonized,	   cried	   unto	   the	   Lord	   and	   prayed	   for	   him	   in	   desperation	   for	   his	   deliverance,	   after	   which	   he	   made	   an	   open	   confession	   to	   those	  who	  were	  gathered.	  However,	  he	  never	  truly	  dismissed	  that	  spirit.	  	  He	   was	   later	   seen	   and	   heard	   praying	   in	   the	   tabernacle;	   “Lord,	   they	   do	   not	   believe	   me.”	   I	   again	   chastised	   that	   spirit	   with	   the	   Word	   of	   God.	   After	   a	   space	   of	   time	   to	   repent	   was	   given	   to	   him	   and	   he	   repented	   not,	   he	   was	   dismissed	   from	   the	   House	   of	   God.	   Soon	   after	   he	   got	   insane	   and	   lost	   his	   job	   and	   was	   seen	  on	  the	  streets	  like	  a	  vagrant,	  walking	  armed	  with	  a	  machete	  in	  his	  hand.	  He	  visited	  the	  church	  afterwards,	  speaking	  blasphemous	  things	  against	  the	  ministry,	  saying	  that	  God	   sent	  him	  to	  me	  with	  a	  message.	  I	  refused	  to	  see	  him.	  However,	  after	  a	  while	  he	  apologized	  by	  way	  of	  one	  of	   the	  brothers.	  He	  continued	  to	  be	  in	  his	  delusion	  and	  it	  brought	  him	  down	  to	  rags	  rather	  than	  spiritual	  riches.	  Of	   more	   recent	   times	   a	   brother	   met	   him.	   He	   had	   long	   Rasta-­‐like	   hair	   and	   looked	   fierce.	   He	   told	   Matthew	  that	  we	  were	  commemorating	  the	  seals.	  His	  response	  was	  that	  he	  had	  already	  gone	  through	  that	   and	  he	  is	  now	  in	  the	  third	  pull	  ministry.	  What	   is	   the	   fate	   of	   this	   precious	   soul?	   I	   am	   not	   sure.	   I	   cannot	   say	   that	   he	   was	   a	   bad	   person,	   but	   he	   just	  went	  the	  wrong	  way	  and	  was	  led	  away	  by	  his	  religious	  ambition.	  	  For the edification of the church to give you something here at G.C.C. that you could relate to: At Durham, many years ago, service was going on. I was present, I was downstairs, waiting on the Lord, and a precious brother rose up and said, “Thus saith the Lord, the token fell this morning.” Yes! So Brother MaGahee was a deacon at that time, and Brother George went to the pulpit, he said, “We are going to hear ‘Thus saith the Lord’ just now. Brother Bruce is coming, you will hear ‘Thus saith the Lord.’”So he rose up and started carrying on and Brother McGahee was big and strong, a young fellow, he came and tapped on his shoulder and said, “Sit down!”So I wanted to engage this brother in a manner of helping him. So myself and Brother George together got him downstairs. So he was in a room there and he was acting like a real prophet. So he said, “I am a prophet.” I said, “You are a prophet.” I said, “What would you prophesy about me.” He said, “The Spirit of Christ is in you, but the Spirit of Christ is not in this man called Brother George.” I said, “You said you are a prophet and the token fell this morning?” He said, ‘Yes!’” I said, “You are sure that I have the Spirit of Christ?”CXXIX
“Yes, you are a servant of God.” I said, “Well, the Spirit of Christ in me says that you are an antichrist and you are a false prophet.” He said, “I repent!”So the poor man repented and he sat in the service and later on we found out some bad things about him, too personal to express here. The church knows that, and Brother George had cause to put him out of the House of God.We thought that spirit was dismissed. Yes! After all those years, Brother Renner and Brother McGahee could bear witness. After all those years you would think that a man would give up such kind of ambition, and we allowed him back in the church after ten years or more, and again he had another “revelation; big revelation”, and he got a spirit upon him about soul mating, that this is not his wife, he has a soul mate out here. O, big bouquet of flowers and everything. And I like how Gary did the job. I said, “Gary, go up there and give back this man his bouquet.” So with soldier actions. So the man came and repented and everything. Gary said, “Here are your flowers!”So that man never got over that delusion of thinking that he is a prophet and all these things. So what happened is that the years rolled around and I believe that God had mercy upon the man. Yet, he was a nice person I could say, and the Lord took him home a while ago, just before I came up here. May the Lord bless his soul. But that is what happens when you fool with these demons, these devils. Don’t fool with these spirits.A FISHERMAN AND RASTAFARIANThis is an opposite case to what you have heard. And this is a man who got into plenty trouble, repented and was completely delivered and is delivered up to today.There was a Rastafarian who came from a crime-ridden area in our country. He was reputed for fights and violence. He never believed in God. Eventually he was imprisoned for seven years for some violence which he had committed.After his release, he observed the lives of the brethren in the neighbourhood and said, “There is a God” and came to church. Knowing the bad reputation of the Rastafarians, the pastor’s little children ran out of the church and made an alarm that a Rastaman was inside of the church with long hair to his waist. So I quieted them and said that it is okay for him to come, Jesus wants to save him. He heard the Word and was convicted and was found to be a very pleasant person.By the following service he removed his Rasta hair. Various saints were looking out for the Rastaman to come back to church and did not know why he stopped coming to church. He was attending each service but they could not recognize him without his long hair. He continued very faithfully and is yet serving the Lord. He is a very wonderful brother with several of his relatives here. Though a couple of his brothers backslid and terrible things happened to them, he paid no attention to their backsliding and continued in the faith. It has been almost thirty years since he came to the faith and he is an old man now, faithfully serving the Lord.Something happened to him during the course of his time at Bethel, which I want to relate in this story to prove a very important point. That is, how far a man can reach into the realms of demon power and be delivered, even like Legion. He was willing to acknowledge his faults and be delivered, and a major factor was that he gave up his ambition, while others who sat at the same church, refused to give up their ambition, self and pride and were committed to the insane asylum, blasphemed the Holy Ghost and died, as were related in several stories in this book.His experience started when he decided to be desperate for God, be more honest and sincere and do something for the ministry of Christ. He failed to consult the ministry, a little ambition stepped in, he became self-led and began to document several messages to begin his ministry. Meanwhile he desired to purge himself from any wrongdoing and sought the Lord with prayer and fasting.There were many stray cats in his neighbourhood. Demons began to use those cats and came into his home. It even affected some of the neighbouring brethren. One of the cats was wounded and this brother prayed for the cat and something happened that caused much visitation of "angels" to him. Some were in the form of men and others, little children. He felt he needed a cleansing and he told them that he is too bad and that theyCXXX
should beat him. To him it was a form of penance. He bent over his back for them to beat him. The beatings became unbearable and many demons continued to appear to him and sang the sweetest songs he ever heard. They were in the form of children. He said that men cannot sing like that. Even up to this point he did not realize that they were demons.However, he decided to discuss this ministry with me. He told the story from the beginning and I exposed it as satanic and the devils from hell who were trying to deceive his soul to hell. He accepted my counsel, believed and repented but the devils decided to hang on to him. They were many and manifested in various forms.One claimed to be an alcohol drinking demon. When it came upon him, he went and drank alcohol. He could not help himself. He returned to me at home and said, “I have a drinking demon on me” and went staggering around my home. I rebuked the demon and he straightened up. He said that other demons manifested in various ways: causing him to drive slowly and at other times by other demons, he drove his car at high speed, enough to kill himself.Prayer meetings were held at Bethel each weekend by groups of young men. He was one of them. He scared those young men by his very appearance at church. Many did not care to fall asleep when he was around, so they prayed all night. I knew the Lord would deliver him so I was patient and longsuffering with him, though he seemed to have lost control of himself and was greatly controlled by those demons.He woke me up at late hours of the night, even towards the morning, standing at my window and saying in a heavy voice that the demons came back. I stood at arms length from him, out of his reach, behind my window and prayed each time. He knew when the demons went and would always say, “I am okay now; they are gone.”DELIVERANCE FROM DEMON POWERThis precious brother was willing, obedient and determined to get rid of those demons in his life. He persisted in prayer, keeping in contact with me, not accepting those demons as angels, though he lost some weight and appeared spooky, fierce and as one who lived in another world.Now, those demons troubled that man for about three to six months, or maybe more, and kept coming and going until a final prayer was made and they were all dismissed, as he kept coming to church and sitting in the presence of God. He came over and said, “I will tell you the truth now. What I was doing, I was making messages to preach in my copybook; and I threw away my fishing lines and everything like that.” I said, “You are now coming to the facts. Now, all that you have to do is to repent for that. God never called you to preach. He did not call you to any ministry. Now, we will pray, we will make the final prayer.” And when we made the final prayer, all those demons left the man. Twenty four years now, brothers and sisters, and he never had one symptom or showed any signs of demon power. He is fully restored and in his right mind. He leads a normal life, is yet a fisherman and a loving brother who believes the Word with his whole heart. May the Lord continue to bless this precious brother.This was not written as a form of rebuke or exposition in any form, but as an example to you and I and to the world of deliverance. So even though a man goes the wrong way, be honest with God, be honest with God’s servant, give up your conception, give up your pride, give up your self, give up your ambition and the Lord will take care of you.So my brothers and sisters, I prayed for that man and he was completely delivered. I never heard of a man having so many demons, and taking so many beatings and went through those kinds of experiences. That is a strong fellow, physically. And he is about nearing seventy now. And I tell you, that fellow continued to serve the Lord. And do you know who his brother was? His brother was David Crystal. David Crystal was never delivered; and his brother over here was delivered because he humbled his heart! Yes! So now, this is an example of a man who was delivered. He never claimed to be a prophet or apostle or anything like that. He just had a desire to serve the Lord in way of preaching, and he got into trouble. The Lord delivered the man. He isCXXXI
healthy, he is strong and he comes to church and is still serving the Lord. So we are grateful to the Lord at least for that deliverance.And any man overseas, any man that is in trouble and you have gone the wrong way, even “Gabriel the archangel”, if you will put down that conception, if you will put down that pride, self and lust and will give that up and serve the Lord, He could deliver you. Yes! You could save those people under your ministry. You could be one with the ministers there or anywhere that you are affected, even in Africa or wherever you are, the Lord can deliver you. Yes! Let us bow our heads.Father, and our God, we pray that you will send forth your word of deliverance tonight, to India, to Africa and to the rest of the world and bring deliverance to your people. We pray that you will humble our hearts in this congregation, not only because we think that we will be prophets, no Lord, but because, Father, of our self and pride. They cause disunity. They cause offences. They cause us not to receive the new birth. Now Lord, we pray that you will move upon your people and help them to take this message in deep consideration, both here and around the world, down at Bethel, in Guyana, wherever my voice is heard today and will be heard through the tapes and through the other tapes, Lord, we pray that you will bless your people and bring deliverance and make them wise to the enemy. We commit this message into your hands, in the name of Jesus Christ, we pray with thanksgiving, Amen!May the Lord continue to bless us and keep us humble in His Presence and may these things that had been related cause us to be emptied of selfish motives and objectives and the wrong desires. When we do wrong, repent for them and don’t look for an excuse, because the devil is always ready to give man an excuse. The hour that we have come to is very dangerous, these spirits are loosed upon the earth. Insanity spirits are loosed upon the earth and they are looking for men and women to demon possess. They want tabernacles to use, and one of the best tabernacles they could use is a man who has knowledge of this message.I could say that amongst the ministers whom I am associated with at Bethel, the Caribbean and in the United States, I have not found a spirit that desires an office that the Lord has not given to them. I do not see a religious ambitious attitude where they want to outpreach each other, and certainly I must say that is the Spirit of God. And the Lord has blessed the congregation at Bethel with lovely brothers and sisters, who stood the chastisement of the Word of God as no other people have ever stood chastisement by God’s Word, outside of those in G.C.C., Connecticut. May we ever continue to be humble, and regardless of how hard the Word of God might sound and how rough that man of God may get at certain times, we always want to maintain a humble attitude, knowing that it is the Word of God, and if Jesus was here he would tell you the very same things.In this tabernacle, I could say, that out of all the chastisement and correction, personally and from the pulpit, that I have given to people, that I don’t know of more than three or four persons who ever lifted up their voices against me, in retaliation. No, and I don’t think those people meant that. They are three or four women, and I see that they are striving to overcome that spirit. I could really say that the Spirit of the Lord is upon this congregation, not because of signs and wonders. That is what the world is seeking after today: signs, wonders and miracles, and it was prophesied that this generation will be a generation of sign seekers and because of that, many will be deceived.Although the Lord has done many mighty signs and wonders in our midst, we do not major on a minor. Salvation is the major. There is an Outpouring coming upon the face of the earth. When that outpouring strikes the church of the living God, we would be able to challenge the world. Then they will be able to see signs and wonders and miracles as recorded in the book of Acts. Until then, the Lord is bringing that Word down into our hearts.Do you know that if the Lord starts with a bunch of signs and miracles and wonders, you would have the world coming in here, and you will have all kinds of whoremongers and adulterers and fornicators and thieves and liars, sitting in the congregation and we will have such a great gathering that will drive the Holy Ghost away? But the wisdom of almighty God wants to lay the emphasis on the Word of God. So He does not want this generation of sign seekers to come in and spoil His plan.Notice that before the Outpouring came on the day of Pentecost, the revival of signs and wonders and miracles temporarily stopped. I am not saying that signs and wonders have ceased now. I am talking about backCXXXII
there. That was to throw off the crowd. The five thousand and the ten thousand and the twenty thousand who ate bread and fish, scattered, until the Lord pulled a hundred and twenty people who believed the Word, took them up to Pentecost and baptized them with the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. Then the signs and wonders returned and they never slowed down until three hundred years after. Now, what the Lord is trying to do is to get us anchored upon the Word of God.Let us yield our hearts. Let us, my brothers and sisters, take these things as lessons. I really believe that the Spirit of the Lord is amongst us. I believe that the Lord is leading us and guiding us. Amen.BLASPHEMERS OF THE HOLY GHOST & THE UNPARDONABLE SINCHAPTER SEVENII Timothy 3:8-14 <Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.But they shall proceed no further: for their follyS shall be manifest unto all [men], as theirs also was.> But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions Iendured: but out of [them] all the Lord delivered me. Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thouhast learned them.>May the Lord add a blessing to the reading of His holy words.Tonight we will be speaking on a very vital subject here taken from II Timothy 3: 8-14. And I would like to deal on the subject of “Blasphemers of The Holy Ghost And The Unpardonable Sin.” And for this subject I will also mention Matthew 12: 31-32 and Hebrews 6: 4-6:Matthew 12:31 <Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the [world] to come.>Hebrews 6: 4-6 <For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.>Now, these scriptures on the subject of blasphemy, the devil has used them to bother the minds of Christians throughout the centuries, because he could give the wrong understanding to Christian when they make mistakes or fall in sin, and he comes around and pounds the minds of such people to make them think that that was their last chance and they blasphemed the Holy Spirit when they fell in fornication and adultery or when they got violent and did something to a man or did something outstanding. So I believe that the explanation of this scripture will help the minds of people, not only here but I believe it would help people who are abroad who did not have the opportunity to sit under the Word of God for the past years and the past decades.CXXXIII
There is hardly anything that the preachers can come to the pulpit and speak which, basically, you have not heard preached before. But yet, what make the service are the presence of the Lord and the presentation of God’s Word.So this in itself, if there is anybody overseas, anybody in our midst or anybody in Bethel who might be contemplating on the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit and wants to know; “Did I blaspheme when I fell away the last time or when I had that bad dream? Or because I have some satanic experiences, or I go down the road and cannot help myself but lust and I have this problem that I have been trying to overcome for the last few years and it fights me. Sometimes I am up and sometimes I am down”, I am trusting that this would clear up your mind.And then, on the other hand, it would help you to understand this a little better, because I am about tonight, to point out several characters who crossed the line and who blasphemed their way. I am speaking about in our age and under this message and under this revelation. And when these characters are described and their works are described then it would help you to understand that you do not fit into that category.I make this statement ahead of time; the prophet of God said that a Christian cannot commit the unpardonable sin”, and that is so great. He said, “A Christian cannot commit the unpardonable sin, it is the make believer that commits the unpardonable sin.”So I will also bring to your attention that much blasphemy has taken place in the age that we live. The religious world, especially the Pentecostal world who had been around the prophet of God and saw the signs and the wonders and the miracles and who were partakers of the Holy Ghost and who were enlightened, under the ministry of Brother Branham, men like Oral Roberts and Billy Graham and T. L. Osborne and Tommy Hicks and A. A. Allen and the list goes on, men who were partakers of that revival, men who sat and heard the Word of God, men who enjoyed the presence of God for many years, for as long as thirty years in Pentecost, and then at the end turned away from the truth and rejected the man called William Branham and rejected the truth, brethren, they have blasphemed their way.Now, that sounds very horrible to this world, that a man is going to stand up here and say that the Pentecostal world who sat under that ministry blasphemed their way, but that is the gospel truth. This generation and the religious world have heard more truth than all the seven church ages put together; the opening of the seals and the mysteries revealed. To whom much is given, much will be required of them. So it is a hard thing.Even people in the message do not believe that Oral Roberts is a lost man and is going down to hell and have crossed the borderline of repentance. And the excuse that they make is that Brother Branham said that he and Billy Graham were two angels to Sodom. How blind these people could be? Two angels to Sodom but they rejected Brother Branham’s message. To reject that message and do what they did is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. So many millions of people, in the days of the prophet, when he broadcasted his message with might and power, blasphemed the Holy Ghost and they are on their way to hell, although they are religious and think that they are Christians and they are going in the rapture, they are lost! Rejecters of the Word of God! They fulfilled Hebrews 6 and Hebrews 10. It is a horrible thing!Let me give you one example of that, because it is hard to comprehend that all these people blasphemed, but when Jesus came, He came with a message, and then Israel understood what He was preaching. They rejected the Word and that whole nation was cursed. They blasphemed the Holy Ghost.Now, in the days of Noah, God sent a message, and the Lord was sure to let everybody hear that message for one hundred and twenty years. At the end of that, when they rejected that prophet and rejected the message they were all lost and eight people were saved. Isn’t that an example? Brother Peter said they are in hell. Souls in prison. They are in hell waiting on the judgment, and they have been down there now for at least four thousand years in pain and agony. Yes! It is a fearful thing to reject the words of life. So those people blasphemed their way. We are talking about people who heard the Word of God and then turned their backs on the Word of God.So now, I am going to give you certain examples, but I want you to hear the prophet briefly, on the subject of blasphemy. Now, these blasphemers in the last days, they commit the sin of blasphemy, and wholeCXXXIV
generations in the past, where the Bible is concerned, committed the sin of blasphemy by rejecting the truth. So we will hear Brother Branham on what is blasphemy, first of all:IF HE KNEW BETTER – BLASPHEMED THE HOLY GHOSTQuote W.M.B. E-7 Someone made a remark in a paper not long ago: said, "Well, the people are all going down to the Branham healing campaign and getting de-demonized." Said, "He detects all the demons and casts them all out."Now, that was a very flat thing for someone to say. But through ignorance, the man done it....And if he did know better, God help his soul, 'cause he's blasphemed the Holy Ghost then. And there's never will be a forgiveness for that. See, "Whosoever blasphemes the Holy Ghost..." It's a unpardonable sin. It can never be forgiven at all. Through all eternity, you're still lost forever. To speak it--you don't just speak against the Holy Ghost. See? So be careful. If you don't understand it, just don't say nothing, just go ahead. See? Let it alone. (Believe Ye That I Am Able To Do This 50-0820E).Brother Branham is specifying what the blasphemy of the Holy Ghost is. A man called the works and the healings of Brother Branham “demons.” He said, “The people are demonized.” Brother Branham said, “That was a flat thing to say, and if he did not know better, it is okay. But if that man knows better he has blasphemed the Holy Ghost.” So now, he went on to explain that if you know that to be the truth and you know that to be the Holy Ghost and you know that to be God, and then turn around and call it the devil, he said, “That’s it!” That is blasphemy. Not the mistake that you made. No! Not the backsliding. It is when you backslide, the thing you said amen to and you praised God about, to be wicked and nasty in your mind, to go out and call it a lie and call it the devil after you know that is the truth. That’s blasphemy! Alright!W.M.B’s TEACHINGS – BLASPHEMY OF HOLY GHOSTQuote W.M.B.: 343-316... A Christian cannot commit the unpardonable sin. He can't do it.... It's the ungodly that does that. It's the make-believer, not the believer. (Hebrews Chap. 7 Pt. 2 Church Order 57-0922).BLASPHEMED – WILLFULLY REJECTED TRUTHQuote W.M.B.: 70 ...How many in here knows what the unpardonable sin is now? Sure. To reject Gospel Truth. Is that right?... "He that sins willfully after he has received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sin." When the Gospel is laid out to you, plainly," says the Scripture, and you see It; and for the sake that you want to be different or agree with this group, that you willfully turn away, you have blasphemed the Holy Ghost, and can never be forgiven in this world or the world to come." That's right. (He Swore By Himself 54-1212).In other words, you know that to be the truth, and you would go out there and you would call it a lie! And you would turn away from that truth and go and sit in an organisation and call that the truth, because of some selfish reason.BLASPHEMED – REJECTED WATER BAPTISMQuote: 130	A Seventh-Day Adventist brother... come up here at my house one time, to challenge on the same thing... I said, "Then if God's Word says you're wrong, will you let me baptize you in the Name of Jesus Christ? ...He agreed with it.And his very first text was the only place he ever got, and was condemned right there, and then refused to let me baptize him.CXXXV
..."If we sin, or disbelieve, wilfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sin." There is your unpardonable sin....If you know what is the Gospel truth, and it's laid out to you, and God has revealed It to you, and you know it's the truth; but just to satisfy some congregation or some petty preacher, or to be popular, that you want to hold onto the things that you want to hold onto instead of taking God's Word; Paul said, "He that sins, or disbelieves, wilfully after he has received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sin." There's your unpardonable sin, is to know what is the truth and refuse to walk in it. Amen. Now, you believe that's right? That's what the Bible said. "He that sins." Sin is "unbelief." (Unpardonable Sin 54-1024).Would you imagine something like that? Blasphemed because you saw water baptism and you did not walk true to that water baptism. So actually, blasphemy of the Holy Ghost is to see truth and walk away from that truth and go and sit down under a lie. Jesus confirmed the same. He said:John 3:19 <And this is the condemnation...>In other words, this is the blasphemy.<...this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.>Now what could cause a man to know that this is the truth and reject the truth to go and follow a lie, is even because he does not want to give up his appetite for sin. So Jesus gave us the answer right there. He said, “Light is come into the world and men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. The appetite for sin is in those people, and in order to serve sin, in order to enjoy Sodom and Gomorrah, they will go out and they will call the truth a lie, and they will call a lie the truth. The Bible said:Isaiah 5:20 <Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!>So now, that is the explanation for blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. You must be able to separate your backslidings, you must be able to separate your weaknesses and your faults in a different category, and Jesus separated that for us. He said:Matthew 12:31 <Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.>So He divided these two things. In other words, He said that there is only one sin that cannot be forgiven. And what cannot be forgiven is the blasphemy of the Holy Ghost, in other words, calling the truth a lie. Now, Brother John divided that:I John 5:16-17 <If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.>He said if you see your brother fall in adultery, this, that or the next, he said pray for him and the Lord will forgive him. He said, but there is a sin unto death and you should not pray for that.When you see a brother starts blaspheming the Word and calling the truth “a lie”, and calling the servants of God “the devil”, he said, “That is the blasphemy of the Holy Ghost.” Now, that man will continue in that sin until he has his last chance. He said don’t pray for that man when he starts saying that: calling the Spirit of God an unclean thing.UNPARDONABLE SINWhen men and women hear good, solid truth, and after hearing it and knowing it to be the truth, identify themselves with it, support it, and after would wilfully sin or disbelieve it, knowing better, and turn around and call it false; and on top of that, fight it, scandalize it, persecute those who stand for it, formulate lies about them, cuss them off, bring the police for them, try to throw them in jail, and if possible, kill them, and call the Spirit of God that is bringing the Word and causing the people to live holy, worship, sing, dance andCXXXVI
manifest in the Spirit, an unclean thing, without a shadow of a doubt, they have committed the unpardonable sin and have sealed their doom.Now, the devil takes the people’s mistakes and press them with it; you know, keeps on telling them that “You have been making this mistake for too long and you had your last chance last week.” It is the worst thing to gather in your mind that “This is my last chance.” The devil is going to cause you to stumble again. Never come to that place where you think; “Well, if I make another mistake I know that I am gone.” That’s wrong. If the Lord asked man to forgive his brother seventy times seven, how much more will He forgive?So now, that is a wrong concept. People say, “I have done this thing too many times.” A righteous man falleth seven times and riseth up again. Yes! So now, don’t ever conceive in your mind: “That was my last chance. I know, if I make one more mistake, that is it.” No, if you make one more mistake in committing adultery, fornication and different things, that might be your last chance to sit down in the House of God, because we would not tolerate that sin and we will pitch you out! But that is not your last chance with God. You are thrown out of the House of God to go and work out your salvation and find repentance before God and come back. That is the understanding, because we would not tolerate sin here.So now, the prophet of God thoroughly explained what the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is, and this has troubled people for a long time. And do you know why? That is a strategy of the devil. The strategy of the devil is to cause you to do things... As the Bible said: “And Satan provoked David to sin.” And the devil provokes you to sin. He knows where to touch. He knows which fibre to touch in your being at the weakest point, and cause you to fall over and over, and then come and sing a song to you: “You had your last chance the other day, and you have blasphemed the Holy Ghost and that is the end of you. Then you begin to think: “If that was my last chance then what am I doing in the House of God? It is better that I stay home, and I will wait a little while to see if that is true.” And then you stay home and you get worse and start doing this thing more and more, and then the devil tells you: “You are finished now. You are finished!” And then you say, “What is the sense of trying”, and then you go into the world. So that is a strategy of the devil.But now, these cases that I am going to relate tonight are not in that category. No! These are in a different category. You are going to see cases of men and women who came in contact with good, solid truth, forsook their former ways of life and their former religions, were baptised, God cleaned them up and sanctified them, they sat in the presence of God, heard the anointed Word of God for years upon years, confessed with their mouths that it is the truth, danced in the Spirit, testified of the truth, the people of God and the servants of God, swore that they would forever stand for the truth of the message of Malachi 4: 5-6, the opening of the seals and the Word of God; and after some time, turned right around and manifested such corrupt fruits that I just mentioned. Any believer can take the Word of God and message of the hour, and judge what the fates of such people are. You cannot help but believe that they have committed the unpardonable sin.So now, what I am going to say to you will reflect what the unpardonable sin is, and if somebody is in India or Africa or around the world, they could compare themselves with that man who is a blasphemer. Besides that, if you don’t believe these testimonies, then I will point to Judas. He is an example of a man who blasphemed, and you could always go back to that.Judas had every opportunity, just like all the other apostles. He sat and heard the Word of God, was a partaker of the ministry, partaker of the Holy Ghost, he enjoyed the Word of God and he heard of the world to come. Look at that opportunity, brothers and sisters, to be next to the Messiah? Such an opportunity! And that man got that opportunity and then he had a bad spirit towards Christ, and then he went out and rejected Christ.FAMOUS CALYPSONIAN – MIGHTY PROWLERA mighty Calypsonian (worldly singer) was converted many years ago. Way back in the 1970’s. He won the by-local calypso competition in this country for three years. He sang under the title of “The mighty prowler.” He was originally from a Caribbean Island called St. Vincent.CXXXVII
I first met him in the outskirt of the city, Port of Spain, the capital of Trinidad. Two groups were gathered to hear me preach the message of Malachi 4: 5-6. They were Rastafarians who came from Baptist and Pentecostal backgrounds. Some professed to be a certain class of Rastafarians, wearing bags, residing in the mountains, and considering the white man as “Babylon.” They were trying to live different from the modern, civilization. They wore long beards and long hair.They repented at my first message. Other meetings followed. Some were speaking in tongues, out in the rain. Others were shouting and had other manifestations. A few claimed to have seen me as an eagle; typical Baptist superstition.A noted leader called Phipps, a highly ambitious young man, after attending a few meetings, took a group of young men and headed to the south lands to propagate the message, which he had not yet even heard but once or twice. Mr. Phipps’ ambition drove him to New York, USA where he developed mental problems. He returned to Trinidad after several years and it was reported by some that he was a street vagrant. He died of more recent times.Others stayed, of whom was Carl De Souza and others upon whom I had influence. They were in a delusion thinking that they were in apostolic days. They went from house to house breaking bread on the first day of the week. Many of them were from prominent families and upper class people.I continued to preach to them the message. I was successful in getting that idea out of them. On a glorious Sunday morning, I took the Word and blasted their fanaticism. They trimmed their hair and shaved their beards, and proclaimed that they had never heard love preached before, and as a result bowed to the Word of correction. I stationed the church at one home and got rid of the dogs that were walking up and down in the service while I preached. Also, a few insane and demon-possessed men stopped attending. I stayed with them for many months and refused to take control of the tithes and offering, but placed them in the care of one of the elders. Now, Brother Bob would come afterward, around the same time, in 1972, and speak to some of these people in a ministers’ meeting. So he met that group. They had a lot of questions. They used to argue on the scriptures whole night. So I gathered them in a little place there, and I invited Brother Bob. I tell you, he answered their questions in a few minutes and chopped them to pieces. Yes! They could not open their mouth.When Roy Lewis-the mighty prowler heard that Word of God, he came up there and said, “Little man, what should I do to be saved? I have a contract with the greatest calypsonian in the country. And besides that, I have another man’s wife.” I said, “Go and give back the man his wife, give up your singing of Calypso, break the contract and even though it cost you the shirt on your back, come and follow what I am preaching.” He went and did it. He changed from the Mighty Prowler to a little brother called Brother Roy. Oh, his behaviour was wonderful for a long time.He turned to gospel singing, got baptized and began serving the Lord. I am showing you how a man could get exposed to the truth, and what he could do after, just like Judas. All the other men went to the extreme from wearing rags to suits, in an extravagant manner. Roy Lewis seemed always well dressed, being a former calypsonian. He was not identified with the bag wearing brothers and the Rastafarians, though he wore dresses, while he sang calypsos, and lived a sodomite life. This was known many years later, after his baptism.A false prophet, adulterer and fornicator from the Pentecostal circles, who embraced the message and began preaching it, crept in amongst the brethren and perverted their minds, saying that Carl De Souza should be the pastor. I had a showdown with him on doctrine a few times. In the midst of one meeting, I arose and said, “Thus saith the Lord, you are a false prophet.” The Lord had shown me where that man was going to fall and where his church was going to break up, and showed me by a spiritual dream that he would deceive Brother De Souza, who was murdered of recent years. A few months later, he was found in adultery. That man, every time he fell in adultery he would go and start another group somewhere and defile the women and fall again in adultery. And that man rejected the truth. And I will tell you where his problem started. When Brother Bob came down there, that man with a nasty spirit, came there to fight the truth in the meetings. And brother Bob was inside a house and he was looking through the window and saw that man about forty or fifty feet away, and somebody said that Brother Bob pointed to that man and said, “I don’t want to see that man. That man has aCXXXVIII
filthy spirit”, and he had never seen that man before. He was an adulterer, living with many women in the church, and his wife was found living in lesbianism with several women in the church.On a faithful Sunday morning, there was a great showdown between the women fighting over him. One smashed his car windscreen with a stone. The church was destroyed not long after.Roy Lewis married one of the said women and fellowshipped at another message church. He was also the song leader there. We parted for many years for in those days I never pastored, until this tabernacle was erected here in 1976 on these grounds, where that little prayer house was erected.Around that time the Lord called many out of the assemblies to follow the true revelation of the message. The majority are still contending for the faith delivered unto us by the son of man, Christ. He had never heard such a revelation like this. He became one of the song leaders at Bethel. He was very inspired and all enjoyed his singing.SELF-LED ATTITUDEI tried to help that brother. I knew all along that he had no revelation on the Word of God. I knew it. Now, you could tell by certain questions that people ask you, how much they know about the Word of God. Certain things that they ought to pick up from the pulpit and then they come to ask you that. You know that you preached that fifty times but they never caught it. And I saw something in that man one night with all the love that I had for him and all the singing and everything that we loved to hear, I saw something, and that is he was very self opinionated and very self led and another thing was that he feared his wife.One night I had a discussion with him and when I saw that, I said, “God have mercy, help this man or he’s lost.” I got up, closed the meeting and said, “That will be enough. You and your wife, that will be all right. Close this meeting.” And I looked for that man to overcome that thing, but instead of overcoming that he got deeper and deeper being self led. To follow this Word of God you cannot be self led. You cannot have your own opinions. You cannot pass smack judgment. You cannot sum up upon your brothers and sisters and pass judgment. He had a great ambition. Twelve years passed. He went along. And because of his self-opinion he heard that Word of God over and over knocking at that thing. I tried to help him in all fashions, year after year.The Lord is longsuffering my beloved. But I tell you, certain people make up their minds to live with certain things and they want God to accept that as they accepted it. They have a certain picture of what a Christian life is and they want God to take them in just like that. You will never enter the kingdom of God. I watched that man and he had one set pattern, very formal and everything. I tried to help him in all forms. And, lo and behold a devil jumped on him, an unclean devil immediately jumped upon him, a sex demon. I would not reveal the nasty things that went on. I would not spare the time for it, but the man was a pervert, and he never gave up that perversion.SPACE TO REPENT – LONG TONGUE WOMANHe was found in sexual misconduct and had to be corrected. He was taken away from the song service and guitar playing when he did that nasty thing. At that moment he showed his colours.Now, when you discipline somebody and you demote them, brothers and sisters, it shows up their self, it shows up their pride and it shows up their ambition. From the time he lost that position he was a different man. Yes! Now, that is where a child of God is known to be a child of God, that when he does wrong, if the pastor demotes him, beloved, he is contented with that and he goes on as a Christian because that is not what he is coming to church for. He is coming to church for salvation.So, the Word came and caught up with him and instead of repenting, he showed his colours immediately and tried to lie his way out but failed.CXXXIX
And the Word of God called that thing out, and the Holy Spirit came and said, “I will spit you out of my mouth?” Did the Holy Spirit say that? Did the Holy Spirit say that God demands fruits of repentance? Did the Holy Spirit bring out that there is a space for repentance that closes after a while? [Congregation says, “Amen!”] Night after night.Instead of that man repenting, he sat down right in front here and laughed at the word of correction. And when he laughed I knew that was the devil right there. I said that’s the end of that man. I said, "Take him and put him in the back.”The minute his wife walked in here, I told my deacons; “Watch that woman with both eyes. If you don’t watch that woman she would tear this church to pieces, she has a mouth that would tear this church up to pieces.” She was a main gossiper amongst sisters in other assemblies, and tried to bring that spirit into Bethel.Ask the deacons and they will tell you; much confusion that raised up in this church, almost all of them, that woman was behind it.I don’t trust a woman that could live with a preacher, preaching this message over a period time, and then claim to be a believer. She has to be demon possessed. A woman has to have plenty guts to go to bed with a pastor and come and sit in that congregation. And that pastor has to have plenty guts to preach to that woman there. It’s a terrible thing.We had to fight with that spirit for five or six years. You’re talking about one woman with a loose tongue could break up a church. You’re talking about one woman with a loose tongue; she could cause bloodshed. And that is what the man of God warned me about the very first time he started writing those letters. He said, “That would be your opposition. Lick every woman with a long tongue”, and he said that “you would have things in order.”That spirit got away and took away several, out of the House of God. People who you thought would never leave the church. Now, this could be a lesson here to the world. When you touch certain in the house of God their relatives get into it, their friends get into it and the in laws get into it, and before you know it, it starts going around the church through the telephone and they are deciding who is right and who is wrong, when the pastor is deciding who is right and who is wrong and he is handling that, you could hear those conversations in the house.Something happens and one person goes home and says, “You see what she did to me, and Brother so and so don’t have to write a report about it, and the deacons are mishandling it, and the pastor is mishandling it. And friends, if you have a bunch of relatives involved there, you are going to have problems, because these are your loved ones. That is your daughter, that is your granddaughter, that is your niece and that is your sister, and they have a certain feeling. Yes! And if a church develops that habit of settling their affairs as a family group, beloved, you are going to have trouble. Watch it there in India, watch it there in Africa. People serve the Lord as family groups.Brother Bob was preaching in Jeffersonville and he said certain things that the people did not like, and thirteen families got up and walked out. Those people were serving the Lord in family groups, and when you touch one member, the whole family was offended. Now, that is a spirit. We ought to serve the Lord as individuals, and then you would not have people interfering in matters that the pastor is handling.So now, there is a lot of that in churches. People serve the Lord as family groups: “That is my son with his family and that is another daughter with her family, and they go home and discuss things when they have problems. There are certain things that families should discuss and certain things they should not discuss. They should let certain things be handled by the ministry, otherwise a lot of people is going to be defiled, because you will have a root of bitterness in that family, and it is going to pass through the church and then they are going to drive the Holy Spirit out of the church. So now, we have a saying that describes that, that when you touch a friend or you touch a family, the other family jumps in and the friend jumps in. We have a saying which says, “You cannot drink bitter bush (herbal medicine) for another man’s fever.” If my head hurts me, you cannot come and take two tablets for it.Let me tell you something, when that Word comes and chastise somebody for their wrong, don’t you ever go and drink medicine for somebody else’s fever. You cannot drink medicine for anybody’s fever.CXL
I don’t care what relative you are to them, if you are a brother or a sister and that Word comes and chastises your own wife, don’t side with your wife if you know that she is wrong, don’t side with your brother, don’t side with your sister if you know that she is wrong, if the Word of God declared them to be wrong. Otherwise you will lose your soul together with them. And a couple of women did that when that spirit was exposed in that woman and that man. They are on their way to the tribulation if they do not repent and if the Lord does not grant them repentance. May the Lord have mercy is my prayer but you cannot drink bitter bush for anybody’s fever.If your son or your daughter has a problem and the ministry is dealing with them, let the ministry deal with them. If your wife has a problem and the minister is dealing with her, let the minister deal with your wife. Y es!When that Word comes and chastises a man, no matter how good a friend you are to him, you don’t take offences at the Word. Remember what Jesus said, “Blessed is he that is not offended in me”, and He is the Word of God. And when you would stand up and take that chastisement from the Word of God and repent, it proves that you are a child of God. The same Word that chastises the make-believer is the same Word that chastises the true believer. The true believer stands the chastisement and goes on. Some of their names were even called but they stood the chastisement of God’s Word. A child of God would stand the chastisement of the Word of God.Brethren, what cause us not to repent and kick up and fuss up and butt up and complain as soon as the service is over. Talking in the car, talking in the home is pride, it is self. One of these days the world council of churches will be loosed on the church of God and they will be persecuting your very son there, your very daughter, your very wife, your very husband, and you would not be able to open your mouth. What about that? Chastising them right in front of you! And those foolish virgins who are there, they will take their little babies and knock them against the wall. They would have to stay quiet and show that they are pleased with it. Yes!And that woman refused to be corrected on several wrongdoings, absented herself from services, and tried to scandalize the pastor and others in the church. She took cancer immediately and was bedridden. Deacon Quaccoo was sent to her. She vehemently refused to repent for her sins and died in that sinful condition.Roy Lewis blasphemed against Brother Branham and his message, saying that William Branham did not have it, Lambert did not have it, the preachers at Bethel did not have it, but God revealed it to him. He began studying mysticism. He went back to his former way of life and singing calypso under a new title called “The mystic prowler”, which his wife sanctioned, saying that he was right to do that. He and his singing companion went under the title of “The two prophets.” He sang against Christianity and the message, spoke many blasphemies against the truth and totally denied the message of the prophetSatan inspired him to win the national calypso competition, and he was crowned the calypso monarch of the year. He sent a boastful message to Pastor Bruce saying that he won the calypso crown and will be winning it again each year for the next five years.He was a big, strong man, but he began to dwindle away, physically. A brother questioned him about his physical condition and asked if he was sick. The brother suspected that he was dying from a dreaded disease. His boast was short-lived and he perished not long after without repenting for his sins.This is positively an example of a rebel who has fulfilled Hebrews 6: 4-6 and Hebrews 10:26. Blasphemers of the Holy Ghost right today in our midst. People who we knew! Beloved, those who are troubled on this subject, this gives you a little picture of a man who has blasphemed his way. He went back to his former life, like the prophet said. He said, “When you fulfil Hebrews 6: 4-6, you are back to your old life that you came from.” And this is a man who has blasphemed his way. I am in place to say that he was a Cain seed, that man was a seed of the serpent, right under religion like Judas Iscariot.Now, can we compare Judas with this man? I am saying that Judas was a star boy in comparison to this fellow, going back and condemning Brother Branham and condemning Brother Bob and condemning the truth and condemning Christianity. Judas will have a better chance on the day of judgment than this man who has done this. So we have greater blasphemers today, and we know that Judas is lost. He came from hell and went back to hell. We cannot play with God’s Word. We must have the right attitude in correction.CXLI
Little did this man could have ever thought that after leading songs at Bethel, and proclaiming the message and composing songs about the message, could he have ever imagined that he would be in hell tonight? Could he have imagined that he would be in hell tonight? Could he ever have imagined that he would have called brother Branham “false” and the Word of God “false?” Do you know what started the problem? The problem started there with uncontrolled pride, uncontrolled self, uncontrolled ambition, uncontrolled lust! You may not go to hell because you fell in adultery or fornication, but that fornication and lust could lead you to commit the sin of blasphemy, where you want to live in sin so much that you start calling the truth a lie. That brings into my mind the resurrection group right here. They so love Sodom that they would make a doctrine to wallow in Sodom. You cannot make an excuse for sin!JEZEBEL DECEIVED AHABNow, I am not against women, but, just as the man of God said, women were always on my heels trying to divide, trying to cut and trying to put people against me, right along. Women have their right place. A woman brought sin into the world and a woman brought the Saviour into the world. And if they hold their right place they are a blessing, but if they step out of their place it’s a curse.So there was another man, oh a lovely man; a school teacher with a B.A. in education. I cannot say anything bad about that man, he was a lovely man, and he stayed here for maybe seven years. But he had one problem and that was he could not rule his wife. His wife would curse everybody in the neighbourhood and he would lock-up himself in the house, like the woman, and say nothing. And that went on for years, and sitting in this assembly doing everything otherwise but he wanted to keep that certain something because he didn’t want to lose his wife over the Word.The time came; you could only go so far with that, and the Spirit of God could only strive with you until a certain time. That man had loved this Word so much, he left where he was living and came down to live amongst the saints and brought his wife. Bringing his wife, that woman swore that she would get him out of this tabernacle and she did. Oh, I tell you, I don’t have time to get into the things that that woman did. All kinds of lies. You’re talking about a professional liar and a professional confusion maker. That was one, if I ever met one in my life. She was an unsaved, ungodly woman.And do you know what killed that man? One day he came from work and she started shedding long tears and said, "Brother Bruce said that he will get a man to rape me, and besides that, he said that he would rape me himself." And that believer for seven years, who knew the integrity of the Word of God and his little pastor, believed it like Mr. Potiphar, and swallowed that. I sent down the deacons and said, “Deacons, go down there and ask him if he believes such things.” And they went down there and he was very intellectual; had a B.A.; but he was stupid enough to believe a woman. “Do you believe that brother?” “Well, I would not comment on that brother.” “Do you think that Brother Bruce would ever do such a thing?” “No, I wouldn’t comment on that brother.”Now, a true believer will say that it is a rotten, stinking lie, and I know that man of God, and I know the Word that he preaches and he does not stand for any such thing. And nobody could charge me for any such thing. Yet that fool was foolish enough to believe that. I walked down there, I said, “Brother, the devil is after you, stand for the Word.” “Yes brother, by God’s grace, I will stand for it.” He is standing for it over there now. In a few days he took his wife and went out. What is his fate? I would not sum up on that. But may the Lord have mercy upon the brother.He was a wonderful man. Such a fine spirit. You would never know that a man would believe such a lie. But a lie is a dangerous thing my brothers and sisters. Potiphar was foolish enough to believe his wife saying that Joseph wanted to rape her. Imagine that! He was foolish enough to believe that.CXLII
THE BRAWLING PREACHER & THE DANCING DOCTOR MIRIAMThere is a group of message believers in Guyana, South America. They are a faithful group made up of sincere, honest, genuine Christian young men and women and some older folks. They made great sacrifices to serve the Lord and are very desperate with the message of Malachi 4: 5-6. They have grown in leaps and bounds since the Word of truth went to them in the early eighties, when their heretic pastor, Mr. Chester, fled to Trinidad from persecution and his conscience. Ministers and saints reported as follow:Mr. Chester believed and preached that he met God in a pillar of fire and was called to preach, and continually taught that a minister must marry a virgin, he being a single man. He saw the pillar of fire on a weekly basis, he claimed, used to see a lot of visions, did a lot of fasting and projected to the congregation that he was in close communication with God. A major shortcoming was that he was very undisciplined with timekeeping in general; workwise or with any kind of appointments, and always had a spiritual excuse for being late, saying that the Lord had it to happen that way, and it was the will of the Lord.His preaching was fanatical, very judgmental and without mercy; always based upon rebukes and corrections. Every mistake or error was chastised from the pulpit. His general attitude of preaching was that he would chastise anybody who came to the congregation who did not believe what he preached and even threatened to lift them bodily and put them out. Many of the believers were displeased with his general manner of preaching but could not show their disapproval because at the following service they would be brutally chastised in a carnal and unspiritual manner. They did run well, however, until a Pentecostal woman was admitted into the fellowship.She was a very spiritual woman; shouting and dancing; typical Pentecostal style, dreaming, fasting and praying. She was a medical Doctor. She became a leader amongst the women and had a group of sisters whom she led by her visions and dreams. She got certain revelations that the sisters should wear ankle length dresses along with other change of wear. At one time she spread a doctrine that some of the saints were serpent seeds and members of her group refused to shake their hands. By such fanaticisms, she gathered a group of young women and had them, along with herself, seeking the Lord and praying and fasting for husbands. Though she was a defiled woman, before coming to the message, and had an illegitimate child, she had her eyes set on the preacher.At one time she had a sister working for her as a live-in maid. The sister had travelled from another part of the Country and had taken up the job. The sister expressed an interest in the preacher, and as a result, she put her and her child out of her home, without giving any explanation to the believers, and the sister stop attending church.Because of such fanaticism, the public labelled her “The mad Doctor.” To compound such things, a false prophet arose in Guyana by the name of Jim Jones and caused to be put to death over nine hundred of his church members, by them ingesting a poisonous substance.While this fanatic preacher was using the pulpit and pastoring the church, this Doctor, praying and fasting with the young women, got a revelation that the preacher should marry to her, contrary to the Word of God which states that a minister must marry a virgin.The preacher began changing his doctrine claiming that he is not a real preacher, but was just holding on to keep the flock together, because a relationship was developing between himself and the Doctor, which was noticeable to the congregation. Having such knowledge of the Word and message, against his conscience, he abandoned the pulpit to marry her, her money and her profession, which reflected the hypocrisy, insincerity and lack of love for God, His sheep and eternal life, that were down in that preacher’s heart.Many of you here met that woman. I do not know of one person back in Bethel who she did not have a contention with. She was a woman who loved herself, and was full of pride. She even came up here and was fussing with some of the people. Certain things crossed their way to make them manifest what is in them.CXLIII
VIOLENCE TO CHURCHPersecution arose because of such fanaticism and unscriptural union. Her relatives came from the USA and attacked the church on several occasions. On the final occasion they did violence to several of the believers there, broke a sister’s arm, beat one of the other preachers and left him for dead, stripped some of the women of their clothing, took some captive and broke up the church until the police had to intervene. The believers were left without a place of worship, they were taken before the magistrate and had to worship on the street and serve the Lord through much hardship.Do you see what fanaticism does? Do you see what unscriptural things happened? Do you see how a Pentecostal devil could come right under the message and then show itself and break up the church? And if you don’t have a man of God standing there, that spirit will overtake you. Yes!The fanatic preacher abandoned the sheep, and along with the Doctor, fled to the capital of Guyana, into hiding. They finally forsook all their belongings, their jobs and fled to Trinidad. This was around 1982. All message churches here that had knowledge of their unscriptural union, refused to accept them into their fellowships. They had no home, no jobs, and were hungry and starving. They were both skin and bones.In mercy, they were rescued by the pastor of Bethel and other Bethel saints. They were given food, clothing, shelter, transport and were hired until the Doctor got a job with the Government as a medical officer. The church helped them partially with a parcel of land and a home. The church even helped in teaching her to drive and even helped her with a loan to buy a car.When this fanatic preacher came in contact with the church in Trinidad and its Pastor, he wrote to the church in Guyana and was high in praise and applause of the revelation he was now hearing and the servant of God. He even testified personally of the assistance that was rendered to him; spiritually, naturally and financially by the pastor of Bethel and the loan that was given to him and later written off. By his testimony the entire church was won over to the truth of the message. Pastor Bruce visited and established the church in the revelation of the message. It is yet standing strong in the faith and the message of Malachi 4: 5-6.That church was actually abandoned by Shaffeek Mohammed who followed the resurrection doctrine, and later followed Teddy. And then persecution arose where some Muslims made some threats and he left the church there which consisted of better than fifty persons. In fact there were two or three churches, and I preached in several of them. Three churches I preached to, from the capital way down to the borders of Venezuela, and my labours were in then, and when that man saw that some problems were coming up he abandoned all those sheep, left all those churches and fled to the States and that is where he is right now. He rejected Brother Branham’s message and went back to Pentecost.This is the man when Ruddle fell in adultery, that is the man he put behind the pulpit to keep the church until he finished committing adultery for four or five years. Yes, that is the man. And then when he was ready he came back and took his wife and took back the pulpit.I am saying that Donald Ruddle is a filthy stinking adulterer and a big hypocrite! Yes! His soul is hanging over hell, if he has not yet blasphemed his way! And that is why he could not follow this Word of God and could not follow the truth and continue to look for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, because his deeds were evil! Yes!The Doctor was loving and kind and very helpful to many of the saints, medically, and gave her services to them, at the church’s expense, over a period of time. On the other hand, while she worked, her husband was a lazy man who did very little, stayed home and lived off her money, until he was forced to work after the Word came down upon his infidelity.He was forbidden to preach from Bethel’s pulpit but was one of the pianists at the church. The pastor observed in him an argumentative, angry spirit. He could not receive correction on the Word and was one of those “know it all.”Hebrews 12: 7-8 <If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.>CXLIV
They both lived like dogs and cats, arguing often. His wife brought multiple complaints about him, to the pastor, over their many years at Bethel, and suffered under him, saying what a terrible man he is. The pastor comforted her. She greatly loved and appreciated her pastor and publicly gave the greatest testimonies concerning the goodness and kindness of the saints and the ministers, which testimonies are yet on magnetic tapes. However, in her also, there were some negative qualities, which included super-spirituality.She was a dancer and one who shouted all the time in service. She tried to prove how spiritual she was; and indeed she was a spiritual woman and one who seemingly loved the Lord. She even tried to prophecy at times and failed miserably, trying to prove to the pastor that she was right and had a gift. She made a fool of herself. And more detrimental; she had a preaching spirit that was very subtle which was deeply concealed in her bosom.Now brethren, everything that glitters is not gold. Not everything that shouts and not everything that dances is God. I believe in dancing, I believe in shouting, I believe in worship and I believe in praising God.CHESTER’S REBELLION – BRAWLING PREACHERThe trouble started when her husband, the pianist, began attending services way after song services started. On this matter, he could not stand correction personally or publicly and got offended. By way of imposing sanctions, he abandoned the playing of the piano, refused to enter the church building during services, stood outside, full of offences, and later stayed home. The pastor gave no way to such a spirit but chastised it with the Word of God. His wife, however, was determined to stand. The only thing she did not do was to swear that he could not move her, and the whole church believed her.Now, when you are corrected, if you are a child of God you would take it as a child of God and correct yourself. This man showed his colours when he was corrected, and when the Word said that you need to be here an half an hour before the service starts and dedicate yourself, he was getting too busy.It was around this period of time that the pastor had a spiritual dream from the Lord concerning this man. He saw him walking in front of the church, and all of a sudden he turned into a snake and went into a hole. The pastor took a firebrand and pushed it into the hole. After this experience, he manifested much blasphemies. Because of his unbelief and blasphemies manifested, the pastor concluded and denounced him as committing the sin of blasphemy (Hebrews 6 & 10, 1 John 5), the sin unto death.Having that dream, I knew that it was a bad sign. You do not play around this Word of God. You have to stand your chastisement. You have to take your correction. You have to put down your pride. You have to put down your self. You have to put down your offenses. You have to be at peace with your brother. We are nobody. Humble ourselves, give away our rights.He began preaching from the staircase at his home, in a brawling manner, with a loud voice, to the neighbouring Bethel saints, speaking great blasphemies against the truth, the pastor of Bethel and the people of God and frothing at his mouth, being demon-possessed. His brawling preaching he did for several hours of the day for several days in the week. He could have been heard way off in the neighbourhood by both believers and unsaved people. This was a man who was previously a soft-spoken person. He was spiritually entitled “The brawling preacher.” The Bible said that a preacher should not be a brawler (1 Timothy 3: 1-3).Such preaching and blasphemies went on for years. He brawled and preached, trying to persuade his wife that she was in a cult and that Pastor Bruce is antichrist. This was after he confessed and testified about the truth and the goodness of God’s servant for years, and which is yet recorded on magnetic tapes. God gave him over to strong delusions to believe a lie.When the experience of him turning into a snake was made known to his wife, she became more determined to stand. She stood up against him while he preached to her for hours and would not let her sleep. She was positive that he could not convince her against the pastor and the truth itself. She said that she felt that she was laying in bed with a serpent, when she felt his demon power, but told sisters, if she separated from him for the Word, what would she do when she waxed wanton. Do you see the condition of people’s souls?CXLV
She shouted even louder, and danced, but to her detriment became offended when the Word came down on that antichrist spirit of her husband, especially on the matter of his ungodly marriage which disqualified him from preaching. Her pride got in her way, because she was automatically exposed. She was offended in the Word.There was a major problem that her pastor had his eyes upon, concerning this Doctor, whom he respected; because of her position, spiritually, and efforts to stand against her husband’s unbelief, and the problem was that she was full of self, she was full of pride, full of ambition and she was always offended in somebody. There were very few in the church in whom she was not offended, and when she had an offense she could carry it very far. Yes! Chew you out for months, complain to the ministry, talk to her husband about it, talk to her sons about it and show you such a bad face. A person would be coming this way and she would turn her face. Very sarcastic! Disputes after disputes had to be settled. Many of the saints gave away their rights to help her, by the pastor’s advice.Then after some time, she thought that she was so strong that she could have stood up against her husband. So she stood up and continued to listen to her husband, not knowing that the mistake that Eve made was when she stood for a moment and listened to the serpent. I preached that over and over and over, that you are not able to stand up against that backslidden husband and hear his unbelief and hear his heresies and hear his threats and come out right. She thought that she was strong, that she could have heard what he was saying. She boasted that she could have stood up, not knowing that the devil was working right on her, and she was in a demonic atmosphere. That whole house was demonized. She lived in that demon power day and night and she was hearing this preaching, the neighbourhood was hearing this preaching also. You talk about demon power moving, and she thought that she could have lived through that.With all those offences bottled up in her, the Word came down on them and she catered to her husband’s preaching. When the Word declared that her husband had blasphemed his way, she would state publicly, in direct opposition, that she was holding faith for him.And the thing in the back of her mind was if she left this man for the Word of God, “where would I get another husband? I can’t be remarried.” You have to love eternal life more than your lust. And with that on her mind she began accusing the ministry for trying to get her to separate from her husband, writing the pastor many nasty and disrespectful letters, rebuking him, and started preaching to the sisters in her medical office, spewing out her venomous poison of unbelief. The saints were warned to beware of that woman-preaching spirit. She finally left the church. Even her illegitimate son knew her spirit, laughed at her, did not cater to her doctrine and was not pleased with her actions. He also fell away to the world.She named her younger son by the first name of the Pastor; “Dalton”, because of the great confidence she had in the ministry. When she became bitter and hateful, she boasted that the name will be changed. The young man is now grown and cannot forget his childhood association with his Bethel church friends. Many reported of his most pleasant attitude when he meets them. May the Lord bless this young man for his attitude, amidst the terrible spirit that is upon his father and mother. May he continue the same, and may God have mercy upon him.The brawling preacher’s mother and brother are members of the church in Guyana. He went up there to corrupt them and try to turn them against the truth and the man of God. His brother withstood him and his mother told him; “Andrew, swallow your pride.” When he persisted she said, “I disown you as my son.” She is a gallant elderly sister along with her other son and his family who are standing for the Word of God, though she suffered with a broken arm during their persecution. Also standing with the Word of God is Dr. Miriam’s sister and her family, who never deviated to follow her pernicious ways. They are to be highly commended. May God continue to bless them.There was a spiritual dream that I read from the pulpit before Doctor Miriam was dismissed from Bethel, which was very frightening to many of the saints because I did not identify the party involved in the dream, and possibly caused some sisters to think that it might have been one of them.In this dream the long awaited outpouring had come. Various ones were receiving the outpouring of the Spirit but Doctor Miriam was weeping and wailing, pleading and begging to receive that power and wasCXLVI
unable to get it. Though her name was not mentioned from the pulpit because of the ministry’s respect for her, she however suspected that the dream was pertinent to her. What is the hope of Doctor Miriam is left to be seen. She is fighting the truth against her own conscience, but I know positively that her husband has blasphemed his way.ABSALOM AND COMPANY - KIDNAP PLOT AGAINST PASTORAround that same time of Doctor Miriam’s decision to stay home, two prominent believers at Bethel; Mr. Narine Absalom and Mr. Osouna; one a policeman and the other a security officer, who both lived close to the brawling preacher, went about to mock him as he frothed by his mouth, screamed under demon power, sweated like a horse and preached against the pastor and certain ones. They were warned by the pastor, not to fool around that demon-possessed man, don’t mock him, and pay no attention to what he is saying, as they too can be possessed likewise. However, they failed to take heed to his counsel and continued to do so in disobedience. This would be to the detriment of their souls.They were anointed by the devil in a matter of months, formed a sports group in the neighbourhood to entice the young men of the church. They formed an alliance with the brawling preacher, left the church and started to preach in the same manner to the neighbouring saints of Bethel. They became hateful, malicious, blasphemous, money-lovers, whoremongers and persecutors of the saints, their own loved ones and the pastor of Bethel. They invented lies of every kind. Their main theme was that “there would be an exodus from Bethel.” The pastor of Bethel declared publicly from the pulpit that it may be so, but it would be an exodus of goats.The policeman contacted other backsliders and blasphemers who hated the pastor, cussed him and his family for years and made false reports to the police station of wicked, immoral things. He plotted with a young woman of that group to fake her kidnap and accused the pastor of kidnapping her. They got the newspapers’ attention and scandalized the church. God intervened and foiled their dirty plot. The woman escaped from the law for faking such and wasting police’s time. In all of this her minister father at Bethel stood against her and the rest of her family and eventually separated from that home because of the truth. He is still a faithful minister standing for the message and E.O.D.H., though he stumbled many times because of his great affection and hope of salvation for them. They all went back to the things of Sodom and Gomorrah, but the true saints kept marching on with the truth.Mr. Absalom, along with his wife and child, first visited Bethel in the late eighties. He was formerly of a Hindu background and she came from a rich family and was of Muslim background. They heard the Word of God, were convicted, forsook their heathen religions and were soon baptized in Christian baptism. They took up fellowship at Bethel and were there for several years.They were loved by many, if not all. He supported the ministry one hundred percent and showed all favour and very few people have ever testified of the ministry in such a great measure as he. This he did from the truthfulness of his heart. His wife likewise.None knew the deceit and the wickedness that was in his heart until it was later manifested. He and his family were close to his shepherd, even as Judas was close to Jesus. However, the shepherd knowing the sheep, knew that he needed help in critical areas and tried to help him.As he continued to sit and hear the Word of God, he was never emptied of self-pride and love for money. He had a desire and an ambition to preach and breakdown the Word of God. This he confessed to some of the brethren, and preached in company with the brawler.In addition to that, he had in him a critical spirit, a critical devil, in all the ten years that he had been at Bethel, and that spirit showed up itself. He was always critical of the deacons and the ministers. Pride, self and ambition will cause you to be critical, will cause you to say things you ought not to say about your brother, because you want a certain position.CXLVII
The pastor would not pay heed to him when he came to him and criticized the ministers of Bethel. He would just shun it and leave it alone not knowing that there was so much deceit and so much wickedness in that man.He changed residence and began to live in the same neighbourhood as the brawling preacher and began to clique together with Osouna in that neighbourhood, who had the same critical spirit as him. Osouna never had a conversation with his pastor without speaking evil of someone. Those two critical spirits met together and started sharing their burdens with one another. It would be to their downfall. They began sinking one another.Watch out! If you have a nature that is critical you ought to keep away from another fellow who is critical. If you get together you could work havoc. You must always try to find somebody who is stronger than you to help you. If you have certain weaknesses, try to find somebody who is stronger than you so you could be influenced the right way. Osouna even began spreading a nasty rumour on his own daughter, which was a lie, too filthy to mention.With all those offences in his heart, and pride and ambition to preach, and seeing others exalted to that position, Absalom became jealous and envious and thought in his heart that he was not justified and he started a justification campaign. The justification program was to find the backsliders and find people who were corrected by the ministry and tell them that they were right. That was the strategy that Absalom, David’s son, used. So he inherited the name “Absalom” because he has the spirit of Absalom. Now, that is the strategy of the devil. The strategy of the devil to come and break up the church is to go through the congregation and try to tell the people that the pastor did not judge them rightly, and he was wrong in this and wrong in that. And that could start right from home, right from a father’s mouth, right from a mother’s mouth, right from a brother’s mouth in your very home: pass a second judgment after the pastor judges a matter.That jealousy arose when a newly appointed foreign minister-Brother Reece preached his first message on Bethel’s pulpit. He went and pointed out certain things to Brother Reece, and told him that some favouritism was taking place in Bethel, accusing the ministry of partiality. Brother Reece reported the matter to Brother Bruce, who went to him on the matter in humility and love and told him, “Brother, there is nothing that you could do that I can’t forgive you for.” To prove the liar that he was he said that he was being wrongly accused by the brother. When he thought that he was exposed, he ran across to Brother Rogers and gave him a certain story on the matter and said that Brother Reece misunderstood him. That is the strategy of the devil. Every time the devil gets trapped he will run across and make confusion, and run across and try to defend himself. He never repented.He became jealous of all who were near the shepherd and went about evil-speaking his family and his grandchildren. He spoke evil of his sons and said nasty things to others about his daughter. In all of that Brother Bruce treated him as a brother and as a friend, with Christian love.All his poison he would spew in the ears of his companion, Osouna.Absalom’s poisonous tongue went through the congregation. He went to many of the saints and spoke evil. It almost slew a bunch of them and had them shaken, because of the confidence they had in this man and the high estimation they had of him. The most dangerous man that Satan could use against you is a make- believer in whom you have confidence. He sat down right in the House of God and spoke evil of Brother Barrow while Brother Barrow was carrying out my instructions on a church matter.So his evil tongue went to work. There is one thing that pride, ambition and self would do, and that is it is going to have a loose tongue, it is going to have a critical tongue, it is going to be jealous.Before all these things became public, the ministry had been dealing with him and his problem in secret and in love, for almost one year.Now, look how these spirits move, and they jump from one person to the next. Remember Brother Branham said the people catch one another’s spirit. So this man and his buddy went down to mock the brawling preacher. They did not know the power of that spirit. And to face such spirit with offences in your heart and dissatisfaction with the ministry, that devil will jump on you. I called him. I said, “Don’t bother to go down there and hear that man, that spirit will fall on you. Don’t do that!” O, they thought that they were strong, they thought that they were snake handlers. And some people think that they are snake handlers.CXLVIII
When people cross the line and are critical with their mouths, turn against the pastor, turn against the Word, make interpretations, make heresies, you as a believer, are not a snake handler to go and handle these snakes! That snake is going to bite you.Anybody who rises up against the Word of God, perverts the message and comes against the ministry is a snake! And you are not a snake handler to think that you are going to win them with your love, after the pastor tried and failed, you want to think that you are so super-spiritual that you could go and handle your husband and handle your wife who rejected the Word. This man went down there to handle this blasphemous fellow who was burnt with a firebrand. He went down there mocking him. As he preached they started to mock him. And then they stopped mocking him and then they opened their ears.ABSALOM’S EVIL TONGUE AND EVIL DEEDSWith that offence, pride and ambition, he opened up his ear, sat down and started listening to the brawling preacher and involving other brothers, encouraging them to take chairs, sit and listen, while they ate popcorn. Whenever you have offences in your heart, it automatically opens your ear to criticism. And this man was full of offences. And anytime you listen to criticism with offences in your heart it is going to destroy you. And that devil jumped from that brawling preacher on these two fellows. Immediately they came against the ministry.Now, when a man could fall so low to listen to something like that, it shows that he has a lot of deceit down in his heart. Because he himself was mocking the devil for months, and I had to stop him and say, “Don’t go and mock that man. Why mock? We have better standards than that. Don’t mock the man, he has a family, the family belong to the church here, they have feelings for their family too. Stop that.”At the same time his wife was preaching down there to different ones, preaching from house to house and from sister to sister before he started to preach. So she entered the pulpit before him. She made a brawl in front of the church and almost cuffed a sister because the sister came and told what was going on, and she got to find out and almost beat the sister.Her husband was previously opposed to similar actions of another family, whom he plotted with to frame a kidnapping case against the pastor. He was most angry against the head of that home, whose wife had about the same problem, but when he got his share he couldn’t take it.He tried very hard though, to get that spirit off him. He tried to show that nothing was wrong. What destroyed him was that attitude of offence and lack of confidence; his confidence started to be ruined. Anytime you start losing confidence in the man of God, if the Lord doesn’t help you, you are finished. Then the enemy would continue to destroy the Word in your life. Let this be a lesson to all.Pride entered into his heart, he was full of offences and then that offence became a root of bitterness. Settle your offences, it will become a root of bitterness, and it will contaminate others. That is what went on there. He took advantage of that weak man-Osouna, and he also began blowing up his mouth, saying all kinds of wickedness too. He’s a hypocrite! And if the Lord doesn’t give him grace he will be cut off shortly. Eventually Osouna began absenting himself from the services.I spoke to Absalom on multiple occasions and said, ‘Brother, stop that, go across and meet Osouna, tell him you are wrong. He was such a hypocrite that he would even speak evil of Osouna. He was told, ‘Go straighten those things; I don’t even want to hear what both of you spoke about.’Because of his evil mouth that spoke evil of the ministry and the brethren, many began losing confidence in him. He knew that he was wrong and was therefore advised by his shepherd to go to the pulpit and make amends. He came up and gave a lying confession, and instead of repenting he started talking good about the shepherd, that he found no fault in him. After being held in such high esteem, he couldn’t bear the shame of being made low in the eyes of the congregation. The congregation lost more confidence in him.He wanted to play a snake handler, he thought he had so much revelation. He went down there and what finished him is after he had his last talk with me, he said, “Brother Bruce, I am going to tell Osouna as it is andCXLIX
it is either he comes or he doesn’t come. But listen to me, I could bring him back.” That is the same man who half-killed Osouna. He said, “If I tell him tomorrow to come he will come.” I said, “Listen to me, I don’t want that man to come like that. Tell him to go and correct all his offences with the different brothers and then bring him back.” He went there and thought he was strong enough to bring back not only the gossiper, but other snakes that went out of Bethel. And when he went down there to deliver them, he got bitten. He opened up his mind with that offence in him.Anytime your confidence is lost in the man of God and you have offences with the brethren and the ministry, your ears are automatically opened to hear, first, things against the policies of the man of God then the Word of God. Who could have ever thought that he would drift so fast and so far? He changed into a completely different man, from a lamb to a wolf.He went out with a justification program to tell all the backsliders that they were right but Brother Bruce gave them wrong. The same spirit as Absalom. If that spirit doesn’t fit that man, I don’t know the Bible.He started lying way back in the beginning and told people that he has certain things holding in confidence for Brother Bruce because he was near Brother Bruce, and he told him such and such about this brother and about Doctor Miriam. He went around to all backsliders and stirred them up to go on the newspapers and lie on the pastor.THEY WERE NOT OF US“1 John 2:18-29 <Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.They went out from us, but they were not of us; [that ‘us’ he is talking about is the elected Bride of Christ] for if they hath been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us...>...Now, this is a very vital scripture; ‘...they went out from us, but they were not of us, if they hath been of us they would no doubt have continued with us, but they went out that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.’Beloved, to turn your back against the Word of God is a serious affair. After you sit and hear the Word of God and understand what the Word is saying and you said, ‘Amen’ to it, you support it with your tithes, you support it with your offerings, you support it with your testimony and all these other things, to get up and turn away from it, it is like Peter said, ‘It is better that you had not known the truth than after you had known the truth to turn away into the world.’ And this scripture is bearing out the same thing. This scripture has to do with election.Now the scripture says, he that is of God heareth us. That is the Elected Bride. And he that is not of God heareth not us. That ‘us’ is the elected and this is sufficient here to make manifest every man that rises up and turns away from the Word of God as a non-elected.Quote W.M.B.: ‘You tell a man about water baptism, the Godhead and seed of the serpent and he cannot see that, after once or twice, that man’s election is of.’ Brother Paul said, he that is an heretic, which is a self- opinionated man in scriptures, after the first and second admonition reject him for he is condemned of his own self. Now, compare that with what is going on. I want to tell you that we gave ten thousand times more grace. Yes, I am a grace believer and I want the souls of men to be saved but I also want to please the Lord.And after all that was said and done, the time has come for their dismissal. These people have openly manifested who they are now, for the edification of the church, for the church to know that we have drawn our lines, for the weaker believers to know the seriousness of it, for the brethren to understand and recognize the antichrist. They went out; we are not putting out anybody. So now the general idea is that we are drawing our lines and we are putting our lines where they belong. That is what I am doing here. I am announcing to the church, in case anybody is in doubt about our stand upon these things. This is concerning Mr. Narine Absalom and his wife.CL
Now, you don’t know what goes on behind the curtain, you don’t know what goes on in the office before we see such manifestations in the public. You only hear sometimes. But the ministry had been dealing with this man for some time. I will put it as some time early last year and especially at the beginning of this year. He has changed into a completely different man. And in my assessment, this man supported this ministry one hundred percent and showed all favour. Few people have ever testified of the ministry in such a great measure. Now, we still have his testimony on tape and his testimony alone is able to condemn him on the Day of Judgment.FABRICATION OF LIES - BLASPHEMYI want to say this right here that whatever he says in his preaching with the brawler, it proves that he had an ambition for preaching and whatever he says there on the newspapers or on the television, he knows better than that in his heart. When a man will lie against the truth, that is blasphemy! That is blasphemy of the Holy Ghost! Now, blasphemy takes a course. A man could start blaspheming today and he takes a certain course and then he reaches a certain place where his cup is full. The man of God and the children of God have to know when that cup is full.Now, his wife is a big hypocrite just like he is, and she encouraged him into that way. That’s the snake in the bush that encouraged him in that way! I understand he said that he wanted to come to repent, and she said, ‘What are you going to repent for? You did not do anything.’ Now, that’s the spirit that caused it. Now he’s spreading lies and saying that they are holding many secrets. Let me tell you, nobody holds any secret in here for me and nobody could sell me and nobody could buy me! Nobody has any secret in here for me!Now he is trying to fabricate another lie that I have some kind of connection in Nigeria where I am going to get about thirty four million dollars. Imagine that devil! Now, that is when a man is empty and he doesn’t know how to handle the Word of God to fight another man, so he has to lie. He has a stinking lying tongue in his mouth.Now, there are spies in here, dangerous hypocritical spies who sit down and pick up everything that is spoken here and carry it to him. I want to tell you that you are numbered with that same spirit, whoever you are. You are a lowdown hypocrite and the curses of the Lord are upon you unless you repent! Whoever you are and wherever you are! Every word, they take it back. Your soul is dead and unless you repent for that treachery you are going to Hell too! Trust no soul as we draw closer, the Bible says, ‘Brother shall deceive brother and betray one another even unto the death.’ That’s the kind of spirit, that’s the kind of devil. They tried to poison all of my dogs a few days ago, how do I know that was not Absalom.And ‘Spy’, when you are carrying the message, carry the message correctly today. And this is the message that I want you to give Absalom, that ‘he went out from us because he is not of us and what he has manifested is a sign that he is a seed of the serpent, if he cannot alter that.’ There are people who go out and repent and come back. If you cannot alter that, you are a seed of the serpent.He is officially dismissed together with Mrs. Absalom, and this is the credentials under which he is dismissed. He is dismissed here as the biggest Judas that ever passed through Bethel! How many believe that say, ‘Amen.’ [Congregation says, ‘Amen!’] As the biggest deceiver, the biggest hypocrite, a man full of the most wickedness that I have ever encountered and the most deceit in a human heart! His words are empty and his words mean nothing, and his own testimony is able to judge him on the Day of Judgment! I won’t have to speak one word.So he is officially dismissed from this congregation, we have no part nor lot with him, his words will eat you like a cancer and he is holding no secrets for Bruce; where I ever told him that I am going to preach about a brother or a sister. Nobody holds any such secret for me. I don’t preach carnal preaching and tell a brother, ‘I’m going to preach on this brother tonight, I am going to preach on this sister.’ No sir! I have better respect for my brothers and sisters. None of the ministers could say so. In all the years I never called Brother Chandler and say,CLI
‘Well Chandler, I think I am going to preach against this person tonight.’ Not even Brother Sookdeo could say that, so who is a dog like Absalom.Now, he is trying to show that he was close to Brother Bruce. Let me tell you something about Bruce friend; you could hug up Bruce everyday but that does not mean to say that you are close to Bruce.And then the notorious lie that he went out and spread that I believe that I am the Christ. Now, you know that he knows better than what he is saying. Now, you believe your little pastor; when your mouth speaks contrary to what your heart knows concerning God’s Word, that is blasphemy! And these people know better than what they are saying.I am afraid for our faithful minister’s family because they know better than what they put on that newspaper, that I said that ‘married people should not come together for forty days.’ Lying set of devils! And that I preach ‘a person cannot go out to spit.’ Stinking Liars! Another thing they put there is I have the people sign their properties over to my name. Is there any person who could put up your hand here and say I asked you to put your property on my name or I have my name on your property? Could you put up your hand? Anybody? [Ed. No one in the congregation puts up their hand.] How many say it’s a lie? [Congregation says, ‘Amen!’] A lie of the Devil! When a man could lie like that his soul is bound for Hell with all who follow him! Yes Sir! He is bound for Hell, he is on his road to destruction!JUDAS ANTICHRIST DISMISSEDSo he is officially dismissed as the biggest Judas and the biggest antichrist and the biggest hypocrite and the lowest and the most common dog that ever passed through Bethel! I say, ‘Away with him!’ I commit him here this evening in the hands of the devil for the destruction of the flesh that his soul might be saved on the day of the Lord! If there is any hope at all, that’s the only hope that I can rest upon.You say, “Well Brother Bruce, I saw you put out people from the church and nothing happened to them.” It means that they are not of God. Many more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife. And when you see people dismissed from the House of God and nothing happens to them, they are seeds of the devil, especially if they open their mouths against that truth and against that ministry and they continue to do that and cannot repent, they are finished. You believe your little Pastor here, they are finished.Such men got to be seated in the House of God for the training of the Church, and I will read one scripture for your edification.Jude 1: 3 <Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.>Are we contending? This is what brings the contention and this is why you should contend. This is an opportunity for you to contend:Jude 1: 4 <For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, (Isn’t that a serious affair?) ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.>Now, this is what the Lord allows in the House of God; men who are ordained to condemnation and then allows them to rise up in order for the saints to contend for the faith.That same dog is now greeting his in-laws “Assalam O Alaikum” [Ed. Islamic greeting.] You know where that has its bearing. He came to the office to defend himself. He said, ‘Brother Bruce, if I want money all I have to do is to repeat one verse in Islam and I could get any amount of money from my in-laws. Maybe he repeated the verse. That fellow has done enough to take his name out of the Book of Life. May God still have mercy upon that man and bring him to repentance somehow or the other is my prayer.So may the Lord bless your hearts. Keep away from these spirits, don’t have any contentions with them. They have a spirit in them that could harm you physically. Have nothing to do with them.CLII
That man has blasphemed his way. Now, it sounds very cheap and common in the ears of some, but you must understand that these people who have committed that sin are living out their time on earth here, and some of them died and have gone to their place. But these people, it doesn’t matter if the trumpet of the Jubilee sounds and if this revival breaks and if the outpouring comes upon the earth here, that is the end of those people, they will never go in the rapture.MR. JAGGERNAUTHMr. Jaggernauth was a smart and ambitious young man, with a wonderful personality. He was baptized at Bethel in the mid eighties and ended up at Vindayal’s assembly. After spending fourteen years there, he requested to return to Bethel, complaining about the heresies of Vin. His request was granted and he and his family came, but he concealed that he was an adulterer at that assembly.They brought two other families with them which were also dissatisfied with the ministry of Vin and his Exodus. These two other families are yet at Bethel contending for the faith. Later, when Jaggernauth fell away, he tried to draw them back out but was unable to do so.God having delivered him from heretical teachings, he remained at Bethel for approximately fourteen months, sat and heard the truth of the message to which he gave his full support. By his testimonies on tapes, books and newsletters, he denounced Vindayal and his heresies of seven thunders, seven trumpets, son of man, Indian chief authority of the west, five star general of all message ministers, dove-led white eagle, the second coming of Christ in human flesh, pulls for money, sports, television, worldly dressing, and fanaticism, in no uncertain terms, but failed to cut clear from heretics, and was taken prey of Lucifer by the instrumentality of Vin’s chief throne guard, and was again entangled by the yoke of bondage, heresies, private interpretations, doctrines of devils and another gospel partly based upon the message of the hour. Such is the destructive power of a heresy and a heretic!He confessed that after fourteen months of hearing the truth, he was unable to empty his soul from the teachings of his former pastor, Vin. This bewitched soul, against his conscience, in a desperate effort to be reinstated under those heretical teachings wrote letters of repentance, to churches and ministries, for testifying against such damnable heresies. It’s an impossible task that he has undertaken by the instructions of the Indian Chief, through his body-guards. His testimonies are undeniable and cannot be altered, since it was efficiently documented in two books that are in circulation worldwide. He tried desperately to justify his chief heretic as the fulfilment of Brother Branham’s new ministry, although he formerly denounced him as Indian Chief Authority, white horse rider, interpreter of the trumpets, 7th Seal and 7 Trumpets, son of man revealed, the second coming of Christ, fulfilling the Joshua Commission, and several other heretical bewitchments. He has returned to his vomit.God forewarned the church about the fall of this man, calling his name before he showed signs of his deceit, hypocrisies, unbelief and lies against his own conscience.The Lord gave me a peculiar dream concerning this young man. In this dream, his features were as that of a mixed, hybrid young boy at Bethel who backslid recently.We were both on a narrow road standing at a lonely area. At the side of the road was a barricade which blocked off a very deep precipice that led to what seemed to be the sea. I warned him not to go near the barricade. Before I knew it, and could do anything to stop him, proudly and without precaution, he made a dash and fell over the cliff very swiftly. When I looked down, I saw him floating face down, seemingly drowned. There was no way for me to get down to him. The precipice was about a hundred feet down and steep.It wasn’t but a few months later that he manifested gross unbelief and began to slip very swiftly. I tried to help him to stand with the Word, but I could see that he was manifesting unbelief. That man left the church and blasphemed the Holy Ghost, blasphemed the Word of God, called all that he heard, “untrue”, all that he testified to he tried to alter, but he could not. We do not play with the Word of God. We do not play with pride, we do not play with self.CLIII
May the Lord have mercy upon his soul, for his writings have helped many around the world, thanks to his former efforts and service to God, but it was necessary that he be dismissed from the House of God as a traitor to the cause of Christ and eternal life (Titus 3:10-11, 1 Corinthians 5). Thus he is no longer a representative in any respect of defectors assembly publication or Bethel “The House of God.”He has since aligned himself with the two false prophets; Mac and Ken and Mr. Parham the homo and his company, Doctor Miriam and Athaliah and her group; a deep precipice.STANDING AGAINST UNBELIEF & CARNAL WEAPONS OF WARCHAPTER NINEII Timothy 4: 2-4 <Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.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;>What causes men to find false teachers and sit under false teachers? Their own lusts. That is the reason.<...And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.>The next step is to turn away their ears from the truth. So there are three things we are dealing with: lust, and then, because of lust they find a teacher to suit them, and then thirdly, they reject the truth. II Corinthians 10: 3-5 <For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;) bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.>Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, andMay the Lord add the blessing to the reading of his Holy Word.And after such a great series of meetings, I believe that it has touched somebody, at least to look into our hearts, taking a deeper look into our very souls to see if there are any of these negative elements within. And that is not enough to know that these elements exist within us, but we must be desperate to purge them out. I think that it would be fitting to come out here on Sunday and lay it before the altar. And if peradventure somebody has a little word of testimony or confession and they want to do that, then we could accommodate that too. But I think that we should have a grand prayer meeting and lay all these things on the altar of sacrifice. How many say, “Amen?” [Congregation says, “Amen!”]So tonight we have come to our final chapter of this book and final message, though there will be several others that are linked to this series. But we do not want to make a very big book. So I feel like if this message tonight is most appropriate in preaching, “Standing Against Unbelief And Carnal Weapons Of War.” So this is very important, seeing the experiences that were related, and it would be very new to many people around the world.SECOND PART OF MESSAGE – HOW TO STANDThat is only one part of it, to show the antichrist and how he raised up his false prophets and how those demons from the Euphrates worked through these false prophets in times past and are still working up to today. But then I believe that is insufficient. I believe that we ought to show them how to stand against that unbelief and how we stood and how others stood in the past, that when this arises in the churches overseas and even locally here in the Caribbean, they will know how to stand up against unbelief. We are standing as an end-CLIV
time example, who have many decades of history in following this message and battles that we fought. We faced the devil himself on many occasions. And I speak for the congregation, I speak for the ministers here, I speak for G.C.C., Grace Covenant Church, of New England. They are all in this, and it has been better than four decades that make up this historical lesson that you are hearing.Everything could not be documented in a small book of about two hundred and fifty pages. You must read between the lines, you must hear the tapes later, on things that pertain to this subject. But I believe that enough was said to give everybody around the world a very good picture of how these demons from the Euphrates work through false prophets and the evil ones, and why such spirits could come and possess people. It used to be a question, which I think is no longer a question: “How brothers and sisters could appear to be so genuine and contend for the faith, live so closely to the Lord that they put you to shame, and then one day rise up and say, ‘I am a prophet’, not only that but support that false prophet, rise up and be evil, and manifest all kinds of things contrary to the Word of God?” That is no longer a question. We now understand the past, and therefore if we understand the past and we understand the present, then we will understand the future, with such uprisings that may take place in the future. It has not yet ended.These messages have not ended the work of the enemy in causing false prophets to arise and affect the church. It will happen again. And while I am preaching these series of messages here, a little brother, who was a nobody, rose up. And let this be an example to you concerning the stubbornness of men and women who have gone the way of self, pride and ambition, that not even these messages could shake them at times. That little brother is still determined to be Gabriel the archangel and have not responded to me even after his deadline. So this is very important, and what it is doing by me saying these things, it is showing how hard it is to get off a spirit from a man who goes that way. In all my years, I have not seen but one or two, if that much, delivered from that spirit, especially when a man rises up and claims to be the son of man and Christ, it’s a terrible thing, and it has to be the pride of Lucifer himself who wants to be worshipped like God.HEROES WHO STOODSo this little message here that will complete this book, and complete this series of messages, the importance of it is to show you and the rest of the world, how to stand up against unbelief and carnal weapons of war. And if that fails then I want to refer you to one of the greatest examples in the scripture of a man who stood against unbelief and knew what he was doing. His name is the Lord Jesus Christ. He stood against the unbelief of Satan himself in the wilderness, and all that he used as his weapon to stand against that unbelief was the Word of the Lord, and He said, “It is also written.” So the carnal weapon of war of the devil is to pervert the Word of God. But then, what will always defeat the devil is when you are so knowledgeable on the Word of God that you could say, “It is also written.”And then we have the examples of the apostles, but especially Brother Paul the Apostle, and we just read from his writings how he stood up against unbelief and how he tutored his son Timothy to stand up against unbelief. The Apostle Paul is answering a question on how to stand up against sin and unbelief when the need arises. I am afraid that many people do not know how to stand up against unbelief and sin, as much as they have heard the Word. As the Christian church, I believe that every one of us should have that understanding.And the lesson that he gave him, he said:<Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine.>We are that generation who are living presently on the earth at the fulfillment of that prophecy, that the time is come when they are not enduring sound doctrine, not only in the religious world, but right around the message of Malachi 4:5-6, they are not enduring sound doctrine.So we have the examples of the apostles and we have the example of Brother Paul the great apostle of the faith. And then that was not sufficient, the Lord sent us a hero of the faith whose name was WilliamCLV
Branham, and singlehandedly he stood up against all the unbelief of the world, every organization and every Bible school. Now, that was a great feat.Now, we grow accustomed with that, well, God sent a prophet. But for a man to come in midnight darkness... That was the time of his appearance: “And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh.” And for a man to come in midnight darkness of unbelief and sin and wickedness and stand up as one human being and defy all that darkness and all that unbelief, God had to be with that man. William Branham was a man sent from God. Yes!And then it did not stop there, but unbelief heaped to the skies after the death of our gracious prophet, William Branham. And the very message that he brought to the world, people refused to believe the promises that are attached to that message, and the great promise was that there will be another outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and unless we have that outpouring of the Holy Spirit there would be no rapture. Then the messages of the seven church ages and the message of William Branham would be in vain if we do not have another outpouring of the Holy Spirit, because that is the power to take us in the rapture, and change our bodies. That was clearly written in Church Age page 377 to 380. It is called the final quickening unto the rapture. Nobody could deny that. But who is preparing for it?LAMBERT CHALLENGED MESSAGE-WORLDAnd after the days of Brother Branham everybody arose with unbelief saying, “It is all over, there is nothing more to come, there is no more fivefold ministry to come in the demonstration of the power of the Holy Ghost, and besides that, the seven thunders are already revealed and we are waiting for the rapture.” And when that went out they started going downhill and living like the Pentecostal church and living in Sodom, showing you that they were not ready for the rapture. They went back into the world, into sports and immoral dressing and immoralities by the ministers. And in such a time when some of you were little boys and little girls, there arose another man, and his name was Lambert, and singlehandedly, as one man, he challenged that unbelief, and his main message was the highlight message of William Branham, and it was called the token. So he magnified the token’s message which Brother Branham said was the highlight message of his entire ministry, that you will receive the token or you will perish. He challenged the whole world. But moreso he challenged the message-world. Whereas Brother Branham challenged the religious world, Lambert came and challenged the message-world.He was a hated, despised and rejected man, his name is evil spoken of throughout the world today, but brothers and sisters, he stood up against that unbelief. And you may say, “How do you know that he was successful in standing against that unbelief?” We are the very evident fruit of his ministry. We believe what he spoke. And at G.C.C. there were a handful of people who believed the things that he spoke. And not only that my friends, but the world is now hearing about another outpouring of the Holy Spirit and they have received it in Africa and in India and many other parts of the world. We have prevailed over all unbelief. O Yes!I am talking about singlehandedly. When all that unbelief and sin crept under the message, there was only one man who stood up and said, “You are wrong, we must receive another outpouring of the Holy Spirit.” The prophet of God speaking about the power coming to the church, he said, “Somebody will catch this vision and take it on.” Lambert caught that vision and took it on, and established it in east America in New England to a handful of people and they stood their grounds. That is the place where the prophet said another revival will break from, right in New England.REVIVAL – I BELIEVE IT WILL START IN NEW ENGLANDQuote W.M.B.: E-3 ...and praying that sometime along this way, that something will happen to the people that'll set their hearts afire for God, that an old fashioned revival will break out in New England. It's tried on the west coast; it's tried in the middle east, tried in the south, but seemingly that this is our last place toCLVI
try: New England. Here's where our forefathers landed for this freedom of religion on Plymouth Rock. It is from these sacred soils here that praying men and women went forth to establish this great spiritual economy that we are privileged to serve today. No American could be ashamed of their forefathers who landed in this country, went to church packing guns, who came here for freedom of religion, went on horseback, covered in old wagons, fought the Indians and so forth, to get to go to church. Those bloods bathed this soil. If we'll be sincere and believe in the God that they believed in and serve Him with the same reverence that they served Him with, we'll see a revival again. And I believe it will start in New England. God's willing to do it if we're willing to carry it. (Tested Faith Produces Goods 58-0518).So we are happy to be identified with the saints there in New England, G.C.C., because after the days of Lambert there were a handful of people there who stood against unbelief. And you have heard the stories, you have heard the histories, you have heard the things that we went through as a handful of people here in Bethel. You were nowhere around but you are here today. So you have entered into the labours of other people and we are not jealous of you. We are thankful to God that out of a handful of people who stood their grounds, we stood against all unbelief to have the Word in our midst today and to keep the presence of God in our midst. And not only that, but we sent out the Word of God to the rest of the world and challenged that unbelief.I believe that we are right in place to speak, and I am right in place to preach this message today, after forty two years of standing against unbelief with a handful of people and other people who came after for many years now, to tell my brothers and sisters around the world, elected children of God, how to stand up against unbelief and carnal weapons of war, because the method that we used, the method that the Lord gave to us is proven, because we are here after so many years.And not because I speak of this handful of people, just a few, that it means that the rest of the people who came in just a few years after, did not do anything or did not stand up against unbelief. No! We are just speaking of the foundation, and because the foundation was laid right then we had others to build upon. Great men seated here today whom the Lord drew from all walks of life, from the Pentecostal circles, from the Baptist circles, from the plain message, and brought them in by His great grace. We are happy to be identified with you and I am happy to show you off around the world. I am not embarrassed in the least to show you off around the world as the people who stood up against unbelief and prevailed, and we are trusting God’s grace to prevail even unto the token and the rapture.SUPPER TABLE JUDASESSo those from G.C.C. stood up and we here from Bethel stood up against great forces of the enemy which I will label as “Supper table Judases.” When you face a supper table Judas, you just have to go back to the gospel to see what our Lord faced and you will get an idea of supper table Judases, the man of sin versus the son of man. And right today in 2009 we are still standing against unbelief. And the Lord has given us a force, additional people, additional souls who love the Word of God, calling them from every walk of life, even different races, different nations, people with experience, at least for a few years, sitting humbly, learning the Word of God. We make ourselves of no reputation after seeing how people made fools of themselves. It has taught us a lesson that men who could preach the Word of God and go out and carry it without a flaw, have humbled their hearts, because we have seen the deep ditch that people fell into who were exalted through self, and pride and ambition. Therefore, even in 2009, we beat our chests and cry for mercy: “Lord, don’t let us go that way, humble our hearts before you.”A man has to be a foolish man, who recently came to this revelation for five years or even ten years, meeting different men, stalwart men, who had been seated here for thirty years, and some forty years, and that man could rise up and think that he is someone: a prophet and even Christ and even God. You have to be proud, and more than proud is insane. You have to be insane.For a man to stand up behind this pulpit where the Word of the Lord comes in such a forceful manner and the presence of the Lord goes through the congregation, and say, “I am Christ, I suffered and died for you,CLVII
don’t you recognize me? I am the son of man.” Now, that is insanity friends. A man could only talk like that after he goes the way of pride, and self, and ambition, and becomes possessed. And when he becomes possessed, it is no longer him speaking but it is one of those demons from the Euphrates speaking in the personal pronoun. Now, if you give heed to that, that spirit is going to swallow you.I believe that these messages and the intent of them, in any case, is to help all believers and all elected children and all ministers around the world to identify the antichrist spirit. For that reason the seals were opened, to expose the antichrist spirit. I believe the ministers of God would be better equipped, around the world, to handle these devils and to prevail over them even as we prevailed. I believe the Lord allowed these experiences at G.C.C. and at Bethel, to bless and to edify the elect around the world. God did not allow those things just for nothing. No! I believe with every experience He gave the church, it was to edify the further part of the body, that today a book can be written, after all those years, and messages could go to the internet that will edify hundreds of thousands of people around the world, and moreso message people.HOW TO STAND AGAINST UNBELIEFAnd I feel blessed and more than privileged to show to the world in this short message today, how to stand against unbelief and carnal weapons of war. It is not a great big mystery but it is the same weapon that our Lord Jesus used, and the apostles, and Brother Paul, and Brother Branham, and our precious brother, the revivalist and the first martyr, Robert Lee Lambert. O yes! We praise the living God.So first of all I will give you a scripture to prove how to stand up against unbelief, and I will give a whole chapter and that is Hebrews 11: “By faith!” By faith every one of those heroes of the faith prevailed. It was said: “And by faith Abraham, and by faith Enoch, and by faith Noah, and by faith the others. And they subdued kingdoms, turned back the forces of the enemy”, and on and on it went. And it said, “Of whom the world was not worthy of.”Beloved, we are left alone in this end time to stand up against unbelief. The ministry of Brother Paul and all the messengers, they have fulfilled all their tasks and have gone on. Understand what I am telling you. Brother Branham has gone on. He is not here to help us. Brother Lambert with the saints who lived back there have gone on. Brother George has gone on. Brother McGahee has gone on. But you must understand that since that time unbelief has heaped to the skies, and you are those people who will be facing this unbelief as it increases, right in the church, right in the message and coming from the World Council of Churches. So the Lord trained us for many years in order to face the great unbelief and the man of sin.Do you know what sin is? Unbelief; a man of unbelief who is coming up here to challenge the Bride in the end time. I believe He had been training us and will continue to train us how to face the man of sin, the man of unbelief. Every man who rises up and condemns this Word of God and tries to change it is a man of sin. Not the man of sin but a man of sin. And that is how you have to look at this thing.So first of all we understand from Hebrews 11 that anybody who will overcome unbelief, will overcome it by faith because it is faith versus unbelief. Isn’t that right? [Congregation says, “Amen!”] And by faith the heroes of the faith overcame. So that’s the first thing.And when we say unbelief, for the little children, all sins comes out of unbelief. And how do you prove that? Eve disbelieved the Word of God. God told her don’t eat that fruit and the serpent told her, eat it, it’s a good thing to make her wise. So from that unbelief that entered into Eve’s heart, it caused her to eat the fruit and it threw every one of us into death. So the root of sin is unbelief.So, in order for you to stand against unbelief, which actually is linked to sin, you are standing up against immorality and against sin and against violence and everything that pertains to the breaking of the law of God. So when I say unbelief, it is not a small thing. Unbelief is spiritual darkness. Unbelief is interpretation. Unbelief is heresy. Unbelief is sin. “Men loved darkness rather than light,” Jesus said, “for their deeds are evil (John 3: 19-20).CLVIII
So now, one of the greatest things that is employed to destroy unbelief, and Jesus set that in order, is the rock revelation of the Son of man. Now, in order for you to stand against unbelief, the important thing is to get a divine revelation. “Upon this rock shall I build my church, and the gates of hell (which are unbelief and all these religions) shall not prevail against it.” There is only one thing the gates of hell would not prevail over, and that is divine revelation. If you do not have a divine revelation you will falter and you will fail.Brethren, were not for that, Brother Branham could not prevail, Jesus could not prevail, the apostles could not prevail, Brother Lambert could not prevail and we of G.C.C. and Bethel could not prevail. If you get that revelation of the Christ, if you get that revelation of the son of man, the gates of hell cannot prevail over you. So now, you ask, “Why did all those people fall away and become black crows and fell into a dark chasm?” Even because they were not born again, and even because they did not have that faith revelation of the son of man, though now in their slums of sin and sodomite condition, they believe that they are born again, in their pants, and their bobbed hair, and their gambling, and their drinking, and their cussing and their smoking. They are all liars.Faith is the victory. If you received that faith seed in you, it would give you victory.I John 5:4 <For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.>That’s what John said. The thing that gives you the victory over this world is faith. How could people say they have that faith and wallow in sin? No, you are a liar.All right! So it takes the faith of Christ in the bosom of somebody to prevail. The reason that all those people fell and we are standing is because we have that faith and we employed that faith. We serve God as individuals and then we learned how to detect unbelief when it comes into the congregation and when it comes into the heart of men and women.MUST IDENTIFY UNBELIEFNow, first of all you must understand how unbelief is manifested. The underlying factor of a man, woman or the congregation manifesting unbelief, is lust. Why would a man sit down and hear good solid truth and then turn away from that truth? The answer is that there was lust in that individual that as much as he heard the Word of God, he did not want to give up that lust. Jesus said, “This is the condemnation, light is come into the world and men loved darkness rather than light”, because of lust. “Because their deeds are evil.” And when I say lust, I mean all worldly desires. And because of that lust, you will open your ear to the wrong preacher, then he will give you a certain type of doctrine, and then you would turn away from the truth.I am trying to help you to recognize the manifestations of unbelief. Now, if you could identify unbelief, then you will know how to stand against it. And I am speaking to the ministers of how to identify it and how to stand as a minister. In a little while I will speak to the sheep, of how to stand as a sheep against that unbelief.I’ll give you one signal of unbelief and that is, we are a happy bunch of people rejoicing in the Word of God and everybody gives their spirit over to the shepherd, to the Spirit of God, to the Word of God and everybody is in support, but then, somebody goes out just like Eve and she received another conception. When you receive that conception, fellowship is broken, your countenance falls, and then the party becomes independent. Nobody should become independent from the truth and independent from Christ, independent from spiritual leadership. Now, that is great sign when people start tolerating unbelief, and that conception could come up in their own hearts by a devil anointing them or they could be listening to a contrary voice like Eve listened to a contrary voice. And when that is accepted, it is going to manifest itself in different things: disfellowship. Somebody could be secretly reading some kind of heretical book right at home and profess that they believe all that the Word says. Now, that is going to break fellowship and it will bring unbelief in the House of God. Somebody could try to take the Bible and make excuses for their lust, and for their pride and for their sins. That is going to break fellowship.CLIX
Now that minister must have discernment to know that there is a change in that man, there is a change in that woman, and the congregation will also know that something is wrong with that person. Maybe they are going through a trial, so we will deal with that first. Maybe the brother is a little sad. He needs something in life that he doesn’t have. But then we go to the next step. Everything is all right there but you are still disfellowshipped from us to a certain extent. You don’t come around any longer. You don’t meet the brethren heartily and shake their hands. You don’t rejoice in the Word.So the first thing, in order to fight against unbelief, as a minister, you must be able to identify unbelief otherwise unbelief will be working right under you, in your wife, in your house, in your children, right in your church and when it surfaces, then it is too big for you to handle. Weigh out these words.CHANGE OF CONCEPTION MANIFESTS UNBELIEFNow, when your vision becomes blurred as a believer, there are a lot of changes that would take place. Because of that lust, you will gain a certain conception. When you accept another conception other than what you had been hearing in the form of the Word, it will change your outlook and it will change you overnight.Now, how would you have a change of conception? You either meditated on how to make a way out to fulfil your lust, or you had been listening to some preacher, to tickle your ears. Then the regular sacrifices that you used to make for many years and you never complained about, and they were not a problem, now become a problem, and you will attack them because you have a different conception. Your vision gets blurred, you have a different vision entirely and that vision is changed on many things. This is how you identify unbelief. You cannot tell that unbelief is in a man’s heart by just looking at him. No! He would bear certain fruits. When he bears them they manifest what is in the man’s heart. And, if you ask that same man if he believes, he would say, “I believe every word.” Now, when you see those things you do not have to ask any questions. The answer is one, and that is unbelief is in the heart, then you must get prepared to stand up against that unbelief.WREST THE SCRIPTURES TO OWN DESTRUCTIONIntellectualism takes over. Then those same parties who tolerate unbelief, start searching the message. The Bible says; wresting the scriptures. In other words, because they do not want to give up that lust, they start searching the message for something to try to prove that lust, that desire, that item is nothing. Then they change their attitude and speak very independently. They say; “I am not following a man; you do not have to consult a man about anything; you take the leading of the Lord, brother.” Overnight they become super- spiritual. Overnight the council they used to take and the guidance that they used to receive they start terming as idolatry and man worship, and you could be hearing those remarks: “You all worship that man, that pastor. It is idolatry and man worship.” Now, when they get like that, something is wrong. You watch that. I am speaking from experience. I am speaking by divine revelation. Now, they think that they are qualified to interpret the scripture. They think that they could read this Bible now, search the Scriptures, get the message and guide their families’ lives. I am saying that if you are in a house like that, you have to watch out. That unbelief is contagious. A man does not get spiritual overnight.We have great examples of how contagious unbelief is, that is why the Bible set regulations about separation.When a man has swine flu today, there are certain things set in place to isolate that fellow. In Trinidad he is placed outside of the hospital in a tent. Yes!Unbelief is more contagious today and it is more deadly than AIDS. And there are people who will go and play with that, just like the little white monkey, because they don’t know the danger of it. They are just not sure about the danger of unbelief. That is why the Bible set regulations and laws.CLX
And in our lessons that we went through, you could reflect upon the great Dr. Miriam, super-spiritual woman. She actually thought that she could have lived under that unbelief, where a man pounded unbelief in her mind day and night and stand up there, when the Lord had already shown me that he had turned into a snake, went down in a hole and I burnt him with a firebrand. You think that you are a snake handler. You are not a snake handler.The recommendation when somebody tries to speak evil in your ear and turn you from the Word of God is to walk away. That’s what Malachi 4 said. He said, “The mistake that Eve made was to stop for a moment and listen.” People actually think that they are spiritual enough to hear unbelief and stand up against it, brethren, or reason with it. And that is what happened to Eve. Eve was positive that she was not going to give in to that serpent. Yes! She started to put up a fuss. She said, “Yea, God said. God told us the day that we touch it we will die.” But then she started to reason and when she reasoned with that, my brother, she did not know that there was a devil inside of that serpent and that anointing was coming from those words and she started coming closer and closer, and then she was captivated by that spirit. People catch one another’s spirit instead of the Holy Spirit,” Malachi 4 said. You could take it for granted, and your son, and your daughter, your wife, your children and your neighbour next to you are full of unbelief.You know Jesus had the victory because He identified unbelief amongst His apostles. Now, such unbelief that I am talking about was manifested by Judas. He said, “Haven’t I chosen twelve of you and one of you is a devil?” This He spake of Judas Iscariot for he did not believe. “For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not.” (John 6:64). Do you know what the problem with Judas was? Do you know why Judas suffered that faith? From the beginning, he never believed though he sat in the church. Jesus had to fight against that unbelief for three and a half years without saying, “You are an unbeliever,” until the supper table. That was the problem of Judas. He never did believe.“You mean to say that Judas sat in the House of God and worked signs, and wonders and miracles and carried the money bag and did not believe?” He was always feeling to see if this is truth. “One more day, one more week, one more month, I have to check it out. I know Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead.” Now, what was causing this man to behave like that? He was full of lust. He was full of ambition. He was full of pride. He was full of self. And when you have those things down inside of you they block the channel of life to your ear. You have to be emptied out, the channel have to be clear to bring forth the Word. It proves that a man could walk with the greatest men, the greatest prophet and servant of God, and carry that unbelief in his bosom.When you could hear this Word of God and believe it, friend, and you have no doubt in it, and you are not feeling out this and feeling out that and saying, “I heard a man said down the road to watch Bruce.” Unbelief is haunting you. “I sat here for five years but I just want to check out one or two things again.” That’s unbelief. Do you know what is causing all that scepticism down in the heart? I will tell you right here, you lack of divine revelation and you are not born again. “He that is born again doth not commit unbelief for his seed abideth in him and he cannot sin.” Yes sir! You cannot disbelieve this revelation. That is the thing that kept us.Some were remarking. They said, “Brother Bruce, I never knew that you all went through so much problems.” It was a joy. Did doubts come in our hearts? Absolutely not! No doubts! “You mean to say against five churches, both foreign and local; every one of them trying to crush you all, you did not doubt a little bit and say, ‘We may be wrong?’” Absolutely not! That caused us to believe that we are right. There was something holding us more that ourselves.SATAN MOVES WITH A SPIRITUAL MAN – attacks man’s characterNow, when Satan moves to do damage, he will move with a spiritual man. That spiritual man is respected by the congregation. That spirituality actually covered over that unbelief so they could not recognize that unbelief. When the devil moved with Korah, Abiram and Dathan, they were close to Moses, thus the people had a certain amount of confidence. They put them up on a spiritual ladder almost like Moses.CLXI
When Satan attacks, the central theme of his move is always to discredit the Word. I am trying to identify unbelief for you. Now firstly, Satan attacks the policy, but he is heading to something. The devil has something at heart and that is, he wants to attack that Word because the Word is what is keeping you alive, keeping you together and giving Eternal Life. In order to get you, he has to come and discredit the Word. You have heard so much of the revelation that He cannot discredit the Word too easily unless you had just been here or unless you are a sceptic or a make believer, then you will grab ahold of the scepticism and the interpretation and the heresies.Let us say that he comes in here and he cannot discredit the Word. The Word is so strong that it’s a sin to disbelieve it. Now, he has a roundabout way of coming. He comes and makes a little fuss here and there and a little fuss with policy. With all the fuss that Judas was making, he was trying to crucify the Word and send it to the cross. That was his ambition. He cannot discredit the Word after the people heard the Word so greatly. He just cannot come and say that the Word is wrong. There is only one option he has. In order to get you to think that the Word is wrong, he attacks the policy, then attacks the man of God who set that policy in order. Beloved, the next option is to attack the character of the servant of God. Now, that is why the devils attacked William Branham, his character and nastied up his name around the world. And that is what caused so-called Pentecost to reject Brother Branham, because they actually discredited the man by lies saying to the world that he believes that he is God. Do you see the trap of the enemy? The enemy uses carnal weapons of war. Because he cannot discredit the Word, it is so strong, now he has to come and interfere with the man’s character. So now in order to interfere with that man’s character, if his life is correct, which Brother Branham’s life was correct, Brother Lambert’s life was correct, our lives are correct, brothers and sisters, he has to come and lie. So one of the greatest weapons of the devil is a lie. So he used that lie to discredit the prophet of God. So then, he cannot come and discredit the Word of the Lord so quickly, he comes there and discredits the man, pointing out certain things. Did you see how Judas attacked Jesus? “This ointment could have been sold and be given to the poor.” He attacked the character of that man. He could not say the gospel was wrong. My, don’t you see the tricks of the enemy?Now, do you see what Korah, Abiram and Dathan did? They could not attack the message of Moses. They attacked the person. They attacked the character of Moses. Do you see what Miriam and Aaron did? They attacked the man’s family. But what they were really trying to attack was that message. Yes, and he finally succeeded. Two million people died in the wilderness and ended up in hell from that old generation. And only two people went over into the Promised Land. Imagine the power of a heresy and unbelief. The Bible said, “They entered not in because of unbelief.” That is the power of unbelief. Unbelief is the greatest force that the devil has.Now, another thing the devil will attack is the policies that the man of God set over the church. Now, the gospel is one thing but the policies are hundreds: bylaws, and that is left to the discretion of the ministry, the ministers. Policies are: to have two microphones here. That is not in the Bible. Our policy is that ministers must not sit down behind the preacher’s back, because the man of God, when he came down here in 1972, he said, “Move my enemies from behind my back and put them in front where I could see them, because I am feeling those unbelieving devils behind me.” He said, “Put them in front let me preach to them.” I said, “All ministers go down in front”, including Brother Bruce. Policies! So now, those things are questionable. “Why this and why that and why when he is preaching that I cannot get up and go outside and drink some water?” Policies! Now, but all those policies contribute to bringing the presence of God here. I could not have people walking up and down here and taking away my attention and still have the Spirit of God, or they disturbing somebody who is listening to the Word of God. Now, check that and you will see how many thousands of policies that are established here, and they were established for the past thirty years. Leave this as you met it here. All that is set in the House of God is for a reason.Somebody might say, “I don’t like it because they should have somebody singing every night here, and I noticed that nobody has not sung for many services.” That fellow has a problem. He wants to sign and he is not getting to come up here. All these things are to expose those spirits and to chain those spirits.CLXII
Anytime the devil moves, you will find that a bunch of women are going to be in support of that. Now, those women will be used to attack the other women in the church. They will speak evil of the ministry; they will have long tongues in their mouths. They will go from house to house. Yes, they will cause contentions. They will be private preachers to different women in the church to cause divisions. Now, knowing these things, my intention tonight is to edify the ministers and the sheep of how to stand up against such unbelief. That was the general pattern of Satan in forty-two years of my preaching and all the battles that we have fought and won. And with just over a dozen people in 1974, who stood with the Word of God and the way that I told them to stand against unbelief, we were able to stand up against all the unbelief in this country, all the unbelief that arose from America and all the unbelief that came from Guyana and Suriname. We stayed as a little body and fought every one of them with the Word of God and we lived to see their downfall. The way that we fought those devils and how we stood against them, is what I am trying to give to the entire message-world. And how to stand against unbelief is first to understand the Word of God by divine revelation, otherwise when you come in contact with the serpent and the tongue of the serpent, you will be confused.You cannot receive divine revelation until you apply yourself and get before the Lord and ask him for revelation.James 1:5 <If any of you lack wisdom (Revelation), let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not (He isn’t going to reproach you for that); and it shall be given him.>>Yes, get down in prayer and ask. But people wants revelation and they want to put their minds on the Word of God for five minutes or ten minutes and sit in the House of God and think about their business while the Word is being preached, and think about what they have to say to somebody after the service is over. Let me tell you something friend, that is not going to work. You have to make time for God. You will be desperate or perish! You must come before the Lord and dedicate yourself, pray, fast, read your Bible, have a quiet moment with the Lord for at least one hour, and what you are hearing today will start reflecting, it will start going around in your mind. But if you go out there and you are living right in the midst of music, the human being is made up in such a way, though you are a Christian, and you keep on hearing that a few times, you will see that song starts singing in your mind. You are ashamed and you want to know why that is happening. Your system is made up like that. You have a conscious mind and a subconscious mind. And then your conscious mind was hearing that while you were working, while you were in that taxi, and while you were in that certain environment, and that information is being fed into the sub conscience. The sub conscience is the spirit, and it revolves and revolves, and it songs as though you are singing the song. You say, “Lord, forgive me for singing that.” You are not singing anything. That is the way that this old man is made up, this devil-body, this sex-body; that is how it is made up there Brother Watkins. It is made up that way. If you hear certain things, if you hear slangs, watch your mouth, you are going to start speaking those same slangs, before you know it. But what about if you hear the gospel? What about if you hear music of Christ? What about if you are in a positive environment? What about if you read your Bible? What about if you listen to the tapes? What about if you are humming a tune in your heart? There is no room for the world. That is going to revolve. Yes:Psalms 1:2-3 <But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.>That is what the Psalmist said. That is the way to draw closer to God. Every little time you have, beloved, keep your mind on the Word of the Lord. O yes!So it is not something that I am suggesting, but I am talking about a proven weapon. I am talking about experience. I am talking about something that we went through.CLXIII
CARNAL WEAPONS OF WARSPIRITUAL WARFARE – TWO SIDES, TWO WEAPONSNow, in standing against unbelief, you have to study the carnal weapons of war that the enemy is going to attack you with. Yes, the devil uses carnal weapons of war.We are engaged in a spiritual warfare between right and wrong. And the great battle in the Christian Church is for the cause of righteousness (“In righteousness he doth judge and make war”) and for the right cause we have the right weapon, and the weapons are faith and the Word of God; revelation from Almighty God.Ephesians 6:10-13 <Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulersof the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places]. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, andhaving done all, to stand.>Satan and his children represent evil. Satan fights to defend evil, and the Bible is declaring that his weapons are carnal weapons. But in this great warfare, as much as we want to win every battle and have victory in the end, we are told here by the chief apostle Paul to not take up carnal weapons of war, but our enemy delights in using carnal weapons of war.In all these characters that we pointed out and in all the battles we came through, we never took up carnal weapons. The Lord Jesus never took up a carnal weapon. You never heard about Him taking up a sword. And when Peter took up that sword He said, “Put up thy sword in thy sheath, for he that taketh the sword shall perish with the sword. You never heard of Him using violence because He got angry with a man while debating the Word of God. Look at the apostles. They never used carnal weapons. That is why Brother Paul could say, “The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. In all these years we never fought a carnal battle. Whatever is said on those books are the truth. There is not one lie to bring down anybody. We tell the truth just as it is. And those are the great offences, because we speak the truth.The true children of God fight with God’s weapon, but always remember that when you have people full of unbelief, when you have evil ones, when you have false prophets and false christs, they will take up carnal weapons of war. From the Garden of Eden, carnal weapons of war were used against the children of God; and the carnal weapon of war that Cain used in the beginning was malice, hatred, jealousy and unbelief. And he had to go a little further, and no doubt took up a rock and bashed his brother’s head.I will tell you why the enemy cannot use anything but carnal weapons of war. No matter how good the sister or brother is, no matter how long they had been under the Word of God, when the enemy gets upon them, the very reason that carnal weapons of war are used against God’s children is because men who fight the children of God have carnal minds. (Romans 8:5-9). So the carnal mind will always take up a carnal weapon.Anytime there arises a fuss between brothers; between the people who are supposed to be the people of God, and you see one man runs off and picks up carnal weapons of war to fight, be certain that his mind is yet carnal. When he goes around speaking evil, and the very thing that he blessed one time, praised one time and he lifted up as God and righteousness, he would turn around and speak evil of it and condemn it as antichrist, condemn it as the devil; be certain of one thing, that man is carnal. And to be carnally minded is death. So that man is abiding in death. He is not born again, he is not regenerated. No, he is not saved yet.LIFE AND DEATH IN THE POWER OF THE TONGUECLXIV
Now, the most powerful weapon that the enemy could ever use against the Church of God is the power of the tongue. “Life and death are in the power of the tongue.” Now, death laid in the power of the tongue of the serpent, and he destroyed the whole world with it. But Jesus said, I have come that ye might have life and have it more abundantly. In John 6: 63, He said, “The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” The tongue that speaks to you today, is either administering to you life or administering death. But “a wholesome tongue is a tree of life.” (Proverbs 15: 4). If I speak the words of our Lord Jesus by divine revelation, I am ministering life. And if I twists that Word of God like the serpent I am ministering death. So life and death are in the power of the tongue. What kind of tongue is speaking to you outside? What kind of tongue is speaking to you at home? What kind of tongue is speaking to you on the job? What kind of tongue is speaking to you on the telephone? Is it a tongue of life or is it a tongue of death? When you find a man who speaks the truth and preach the Word of God to you and preach the revelation and preach the purity of the message, it is a tree of life. But when you find a man who puts heresies and interpretations and he is trying to preach to you, he has a breach of the spirit. He is not born again. So the most powerful weapon that the enemy could use against a child of God, against a minister, against the church, against a generation is in the tongue. That is why we expose all heresies through E.O.D.H. without respect of persons. And God’s great weapon is also in the tongue. And His sword also went out of His mouth and slew His enemy.THE POWER OF THE TONGUENow the enemy knows the power that lies in the power of speech. Do you realize that it was the tongue of the serpent in the Garden of Eden that caused all the trouble? So that is the most powerful weapon. So now, what I am trying to show you here is that you don’t take it easy when people rise up and start speaking perverse things to draw away a member after them. So the tongue is one of the chief weapons of the enemy to express his unbelief, and that unbelief is death. “They entered not into the promise land because of unbelief.” But notice that there was a weapon being used, and the devil was using men with that weapon. And you might think that you are strong enough to hear that unbelief. But we have the example through this book, we had this example through the messages that people are not strong enough if they are not born again, to hear any of that unbelief. There is a power that goes with it! And people who thought that they were strong went down and heard the brawling preacher, and they were mocking him, and the devil leaped right out of that man and possessed them, and they themselves started preaching, and condemning and lying! And the carnal weapon of war that the enemy uses, is by making false accusations against the children of God; lies. When Satan could lie against a child of God, if it be God’s will, he could finally take him to jail and finally get him killed. The devil lied against Joseph; put him in prison, and were not for the mercy of God, he would have died there. So now false accusations are the devil’s most powerful weapons of war.Let me point out a weapon of the devil to you. After a man of God preached the Word of God into such a place, where it ties the enemy in a knot that he cannot move amongst the children of God, he must find other weapons. And this tongue is so powerful that the devil employs the tongue as one of his chief carnal weapons of war. I want to show you in Scripture where a carnal weapon of accusations to the servant of God, what it did to Moses the servant of God and to the people of God. There is a final attack that the enemy makes.NEXT MOVE - ATTACK GOD’S SERVANTWhen he knows that he cannot tell the people that the Word is wrong, there is only one thing that he could go back to, and that is, he goes back and tries to attack the servant of God, because that is the human flesh; he could find some mistakes in it. And then, if he could attack the servant of God, my beloved, and discredit the servant of God in the eyes of the people, then he could cause them to disbelieve the Word.CLXV
Ministers, I want you to understand here, if you are engaged in a war and you are carrying the Word of God, you are the enemy’s target. Why would the enemy come to smite the shepherd? .Mark 14:27 <...smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.>If he could smite the shepherd then he could get to the sheep. His real interest is to devour the sheep, but he cannot do that until he destroys the shepherd. So now his main target is the shepherd.Beloved, let me put it in these words: “Every time an evil tongue raises up against your shepherd, do you know what that is? Satan is indicating that he wants to eat some sheep.”Anytime you see a waggling tongue start raising up against the pastor, against the ministry, and against whatever gift that is set in the House of God, brakes for your life! It is an indication that Satan is walking around seeking whom he may devour. He is like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour; and you brakes for your life when you see that. It’s an indication, it’s a sign, that Satan is interested in taking your soul to Hell.TACTICS OF SATAN – TAG OF IDOLATRY UPON HONOURSo now, the devil’s man, because he wants that position and wants to be exalted, he is literally jealous of the man whom God is using. And that was played out in Abiram, Korah and Dathan.The target of the enemy will always be the ministry, and the enemy would come up with false accusations. “What are the chief accusations that the enemy will use by carnal men, Brother Bruce?” Now, after the minister of God, apostle, prophet, whoever he is, preaches the Word of God to a congregation, there exists a divine fellowship. There exist confidence, there exist trust, there exist love; there exist honour.“Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.” (1 Timothy 5:17).And not only single honour, but double honour.People come to the place where they trust that man of God, because of the Word that he preaches. They trust that man of God with their money, they trust him with their house, they trust him with their family, and they trust him with their very soul. And Beloved, that confidence and that honour, that respect, that reverence get so great, that if it were possible they would have taken out their own eyes and give it to Brother Paul. He said:“...for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.” (Galatians 4: 15).Now, that expresses the confidence in a true servant of God. There exists a divine fellowship. Now, in that trust and confidence and divine fellowship, advice is given out, counsel is given out, guidance is given out, and leadership is given out, in that frame of mind of fellowship, love and respect. Not in a legalistic form.Now hear me in the name of the Lord, church. When the minister comes and ties the enemy in a knot, and that enemy cannot move to devour the sheep and to lead them astray by unbelief, beloved, the devil takes that honour and respect that the sheep have for the minister and he employs it as a carnal weapon of war to put a tag upon that honour that the church has for that man and turn it into a weapon of war by putting a label upon it; “Idolatry and man-worship.” Like the people in Pentecost; they honoured the prophet. But the devil is now going to attack to turn that honour that millions had towards the prophet and call it idolatry.Now, the man who he uses, at one time had that same honour and respect. He and testified and boasted about the man of God. But when the devil jumps upon him, he would swallow his conscience. Although he understands the relationship between shepherd and sheep, and that honour does not go to the flesh, but to the gift that God placed in the bosom of that man and the Word that he preaches, that same man; deceitful hypocrite, seed of Cain and Judas, is going to rise up and accuse the man of God of idolatry.MOSES ACCUSED OF IDOLATRYCLXVI
How many believe that Moses preached the people into a place that they should worship God and him only? [Congregation says, “Amen!”] He even got The Ten Commandments, and the very first one says: Thou shall have no other Gods before me, and Moses believed that, and he established that. My beloved there was no way for the devil to attack Moses. Moses never took one cattle, he never took a sheep from them; he said that he never took any goods from them, they could not put a finger on his life where he committed adultery, where he stole. So now, the life of the man, the enemy cannot attack it, the Word that he preach he cannot attack it. Then he must find another weapon.Numbers 16:1-2 <Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took [men]:And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown:>These were not strangers. You are talking about people rising up in the assembly under the message of Moses, in the church. They could not say that those miracles were of the devil, they could not say the Message was wrong. No! No! No! The only thing that they could have gone to was to accuse Moses of idolatry.Numbers 16:3 <And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD [is] among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?>Now, people fell in love with Moses so much, honoured Moses so much, that the idea of idolatry had to be projected to the people in order to win them, because the people wanted to worship God and him only. Moses preached them into that.Now, the idea that was projected is that Moses was not giving the glory to God, not only that but Moses was not giving everybody their rightful positions. He lifted up himself above the congregation and whereas all the congregation should be preaching, he has them down.Numbers 16:13 <Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us?>That’s the accusation: “Thou hast made thyself altogether a prince over us.” When people get so deceitful and could turn divine fellowship between pastor and saints, communication between pastor, sheep and almighty God, into such a place, and turn it so carnally into such a way to say that the pastor made himself a God, that pastor made himself a prince, he lifted up himself, he elevated himself, my beloved, that’s the devil working. Don’t trust a mouth like that, that’s the devil in person. You are talking about deceit. You are talking about when the devil jumps upon a man, the deceit that comes out of that heart.I want you to tell me where the attacks against that man called William Branham fell	short in any way, when compared with the attacks against Moses. What was the report that went out about Brother Branham? Not that he made himself God? “The people worshipped him.” It’s a lie of the Devil! Did he not suffer the same accusation that he exalted himself and as a result of exalting himself God had to take him away in an accident? Is that the same accusation? [Congregation says, “Amen!”] But they cannot point you to the man’s life, where he ever committed adultery, where he ever lived in sin. They cannot point out where the man is off the Word of God.Now, is that the same devil that was in Korah, Abiram and Dathan, that jumped into Oral Roberts, and Billy Graham and T. L. Osborne, and all those dogs on the radio, and on the television, and all those Pentecostal preachers who are wetting their tongues against William Branham? God would cut your filthy tongue out from your mouth, you hypocrite you, you bastard, coming against the prophet of God!When people hear such lies they start thinking; “We praise Moses too much, especially when he gets off the pulpit, we go and tell him how great the message was. I have to stop that.” You are getting anointed by the devil. “You see how the people get around him, and they want to sit and have a little talk; I believe that is idolatry, I believe that God is jealous, God wants that honour.” You want that honour, you devil!Now, let us look into the hearts of these men; Korah, Abiram and Dathan. Anytime you see a man coming up against the ministry and gets bold enough to say evil things against a servant of God who is held in admiration and respect, there is a selfish motive in that heart. Now, but that selfish motive is unspoken, it is inCLXVII
the back part of that man’s mind. Now, these fellows had a problem in speaking so, and that is they desired a position that God never gave to them. Now, these men, Moses discerned them and said, “You have an office in the church but you want the priesthood too.”Now, there was something that was causing these men to speak in that fashion, but they were not saying that. Did they ever come up and tell Moses they wanted the priesthood? No, they never admitted that. Hear the tricks they came with. They spoke in a roundabout way and said, “Moses, you are taking too much upon yourself. You ought to share. This ministry ought to be shared amongst the people. You take too much upon yourself, you and Aaron especially.” They never said they wanted the priesthood. Now, hear the trick. They came pleading on behalf of the congregation, like if the congregation was dissatisfied and the congregation felt that it is about time that they are used of the Lord, but they are not bringing out their real motive for approaching Moses. The real motive was that they wanted the priesthood, one of them. I believe it was Korah, he wanted that office. But in order to get that office, he never came directly. He said, get your censers and come out here, and I will show you who God has chosen to come nigh unto him and who He did not choose. You take too much upon yourselves. Get your censers and come here in the morning. And the earth opened up and swallowed Korah and his company.Do you know what is going to happen to all of these false prophets and all of these proud ones and all these evil ones? Not only is the earth going to open up. They are going through the tribulation to be burnt with fire. You say, “Brother Bruce, burnt with fire?”Malachi 4: 1 <For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.>You are talking about God coming to burn this generation. The proudest generation that ever lived upon the face of the earth. And people sit under this revelation and would not give up that pride and self, and we have the example in Parham, we have the example in Roy Lewis, we have the example in Miriam, we have the example in Dale sitting in jail, we have the example in Jim Rosenberry, that demon possessed fellow who led those people astray and now on their way to the tribulation. The whole things is that Moses said, “I will show you who could come into the presence of God and who cannot come.” They were longing to sit in the presence of God.Friends, besides the Word that we preach, let me tell the whole world that the presence of the Lord that comes and back up the Word of God is an evident proof that we are right and the whole world is wrong. [Congregation says, “Amen!”] Don’t matter what they say, don’t matter what they accuse us of, they are jealous over your righteous life; that presence of the Lord is unexplainable. I speak for G.C.C., I speak for the churches in the Caribbean and I speak for the people who are in India and Africa and the rest of the world where the Spirit of the Lord is now visiting.As long as you follow this revelation and the truth, the Spirit of the Lord will meet you wherever you are, and wherever you are, in whatever part of the world, when that outpouring comes, it is coming to you. Have no fear. You say, “Would that really come to me Brother Bruce?” My beloved, the outpouring is coming to the born again experience. Wherever that faith is, wherever the born again seed is that is where the outpouring is coming. It is not coming to a man, it is not coming to a church, it is coming to the seed of God. Of course, there is a first place where it will be outpoured.THE RAIN GOT TO HAVE SEED TO FALL ONQuote W.M.B. 109-3 See now, why I have been so zealous of the kind of seed that I have planted for the body? The rain's going to fall pretty soon; I mean the real rain. And it's got to have Seed to fall on. I hope I live to see it. Do you understand now? It will be the living Word as it was at the beginning, the spoken Word of God, have His power; for it is in Him in His own body, working His own way. Look to the promises that God gave this body. ((Spoken Word Original Seed 62-0318e).CLXVIII
Now, I am asking you here, did the devil fall short of his accusation against Brother Bob? Did he not say that as a result of idolatry God had to kill him? I am asking you if the devil fell short in accusing your pastor. Did he blame him for psychology? Did he blame me and say that the people worship me and the people honour me too much and the people have too much confidence in me? [Congregation says, “Amen!”] Sure. Did they blame me for claiming to be a prophet? [Congregation says, “Amen!”] Carnal weapons of war.PRESENCE OF GOD BACKS UP THE WORDWhy because they cannot touch my life and they cannot touch the Word that I preach, so the devil has to come in a roundabout way, and try to show that the congregation is giving Bruce too much honour and that they actually worship that man. Now, hear how dumb that is; Bruce is getting the honour from the people but the presence of God comes and backs up the Word every time he preaches, and blesses the congregation, and the presence of God is so powerful that you could hardly open your mouths at times.In their opinion, God is not too smart after all, because here is a man pulling worship to himself, here is a man who is pretending to be the Christ, here is a man that is pretending to be a prophet, here is a man preaching in a certain way by psychology, to get the people to himself and God does not have the sense to withdraw His Spirit from that man for more than forty two years. In their opinion, God had been compromising with Bruce.Now, I am saying, in order for the devil to devour the sheep, he attacks the minister’s character. If he cannot touch the man’s life, cannot touch the Word that he preaches, knowing the sincerity of the hearts of the people, he projects a doctrine calling honour “idolatry.” He tries to convince the people that they are just giving too much praises to Moses.The people without divine revelation of their God are caught up in that lie. If you have a revelation of God, you don’t ever have to be afraid that you worship a man. What is the matter with such people? If you have a revelation of your God, you know God. How come that you can worship Brother John, if you know who God is? If I have a revelation of my God, the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Jesus said, we know whom we worship, but you Samaritans don’t know whom you worship.Respect to god’s servantsAnd I charge this congregation, after hearing this message today, stand in defence of all the preachers in this tabernacle. Any mouth that opens up against anyone of these preachers is the devil talking to you. Defend the characters of these men. Yes! Defend the characters of your deacons. Defend the character of your pastor. Anything that rises up and speaks evil against the ministry is the devil. I don’t care if you eat with me, sleep with me, if you carry the money bag like Judas, I don’t care if you smile with your whole mouth, I don’t care how long you belonged to this tabernacle, you open up your mouth against the Word and against God’s servants, a devil is upon you! How many believe that? [Congregation says, “Amen!”] A devil is upon you.Do you know when these messages were preached? In the arising of Absalom. Way back down there in 1997, and these things could not move those devils at all. They have crossed over the line. Those blasphemers of the Holy Ghost have sealed their doom, because they heard all of these things that I am borrowing here now to close this book. They heard it and they are without excuse.We don’t have long again, but the Holy Spirit is so wonderful. I can feel the tranquillity of the holy Ghost. So wonderful! And the evidence that this revelation is true, is how that presence of the Lord comes and backs that up wherever. We are not trying to pump up something. And it is not only witnessed by us, but people from foreign lands stand in awe, fear and trembling, and right over the streaming, they know that it is different,CLXIX
they know that the gift that ministers to them comes from heaven and they know that the presence that they feel is very God. They cannot doubt it.MINISTERS - HOW TO STAND AGAINST UNBELIEFAlright, how to stand as a minister against sin and unbelief in a time of trouble and disturbance when the devil wants to bring unbelief and heresy into the House of God. First of all, you want to recognize that unbelief for what it is. Now, if you just have a casual understanding of unbelief and do not know the detriment of that unbelief and sin, you have lost that battle already. You have to see that unbelief for what it is. That is very important. You don’t just play around with it. Unbelief is a serpent. Unbelief is a devil.When a man or a woman starts speaking unbelief against the things that you sat and heard, and he said, “Amen” and you said, “Amen” to, and you both rejoiced in it, and that fellow would rise up and call that the devil, against his own conscience, watch that devil! There is unbelief, there is a serpent down in him. I don’t care if it is your father, your mother, your brother or your sister. I don’t care if it is your pastor, your wife, your children, your best fried, whoever that is, there is a devil inside of them.After you sit and hear the Word of God that could move a man from sin, move him to righteousness, sanctify the man, move him to a holy and a righteous life, bring joy in his heart, bring peace in the man’s heart, and rejoice in that for years, even ten years or fifteen years, and then you would rise up like a devil and start criticizing that minister and start criticizing the people, you are a devil that came from hell and is going to hell, just like Judas criticizing Jesus. He came from hell and went back to hell.From the time you see people manifest unbelief in that respect, there is only one name for it and that is “antichrist”, and death will follow. And that is going to guide you a long way. Now, if you just treat that as: a brother making a mistake and ‘by and by’ we will come back together, he did not mean that, and we are all one, the devil has you whipped already, friend. By the time you wake up to find out that it is antichrist and death, the church is gone. So that is the first thing you have to recognize, wherever it arises, be it in your house, from your neighbour’s, your wife’s, husband’s, a preacher’s or deacon’s tongue. Don’t let any position fool you.Anytime you see someone manifest unbelief in that Word of God, that is the antichrist and it is death. That is the way you must treat it. Now, it does not matter where that unbelief is, regardless of who that unbelief is in, it does not matter how many years he has been around the Word or how spiritual he claims to be. You do not recognize the office. You don’t let the person of a man blind your eyes from seeing the antichrist. It doesn’t matter how close he is to the pastor, how close he is to the prophet, antichrist is antichrist, and death is death. And regardless of an office, just like Brother Paul told Timothy, he said, “Reprove, rebuke with all longsuffering and doctrine.” You chastise that spirit with the Word. Chastise that spirit with everything, and if that spirit retaliates, give it some more, because it proves that it is bastard born. (Hebrews 12:8).Now,	  if	  that	  spirit	  came	  from	  heaven	  and	  is	  born	  of	  the	  Holy	  Ghost	  and	  you	  are	  quoting	  the	  Word	  of	   God	  and	  trying	  to	  correct	  that	  spirit,	  it	  will	  humble	  itself.	  A	  child	  of	  God	  will	  humble	  down	  under	  correction.	  	   If	  a	  spirit	  is	  of	  God,	  it	  will	  humble	  down	  and	  repent.	  So	  chastisement	  does	  not	  make	  a	  child	  of	  God	  retaliate	  more,	  jump	  up	  and	  skip	  out	  of	  the	  church	  and	  go	  out	  and	  behave	  in	  an	  unscriptural	  manner.	  	  No!	  	   Now, do not hold back for anybody. Ministers when you chastise a spirit and it retaliates, don’t back up and start saying, “Well, I think I hit a little too hard. They may leave the church. I noticed that they did not come to church for a few days. I better go down there and tell them that I did not mean to hit so hard and I am a little sorry.” Beloved, when the Word casts anybody out of the House of God and they get offended at the Word of God, as ministers, do not go and look for them and bring them back. You don’t stand up against unbelief like that. You don’t stand up against carnal weapons like that. You don’t be sissified ministers like that and try to keep membership. That is not the way to fight. If that is a child of God and that spirit came from heaven he isgoing to come right back to the House of God.CLXX
Out of shame sometimes, a person might stay away a couple days, but they are not retaliating against the Word of God. Give them a chance. They will come back if they are a child of God, and they will humble themselves to the pastor and the ministry, and will do anything in this world to get right. But anytime you see that spirit retaliates and it goes about arguing for its rights, watch out, the person is not born again and you could be dealing with a Cain seed, just like Cain was rebellious towards God after killing his brother.Watch out ministers, he will begin arguing for his rights and accuse you for preaching by news and false reports and for lying, because it is trying to gain support. Anybody who is corrected by the Word and launches a campaign against the ministry to try to get support, it’s an evil spirit. It is bastard born, it’s a Cain seed.MINISTERS, WATCH YOUR WORDS - BE NOT ANGRY - PREACH TO DELIVER SOULSNow ministers, let me give you a good lesson and warning. Whenever war arises against heresies and the Word of God, watch your words! Bethel, G.C.C., Caribbean, India, Africa, when battles start rising in the House of God with false prophets and with the evil ones watch your words! The devil is trying to catch you in your words to make confusion to destroy many souls. Did they try to catch Jesus in his Words? Was that a nasty spirit in the Pharisees? Was that unbelief?So you must watch your words carefully. When you are hitting heresies, hit solid blows. Be conscious of what you are saying, just don’t say things to appease your anger, do not get vex. Watch your words and do not ever get wrathful in a time of battle when heresies try to enter the church.Now, some people get their nature into it and something starts moving in the church, and they get emotional as ministers and start saying all kinds of hurtful things thinking that they are putting down that spirit. You are fighting a losing battle. You have to keep calm. Why?James 1:20 <For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.>That is the reason. You don’t get vex behind the pulpit and say all kinds of unwise things because a man say something about you. Recognize it as the devil. Recognize it as unbelief. There is plenty wisdom in what I am saying. You see, in that anger you will say the wrong words and deal with the problem in the wrong way. You must have a balance. Don’t get angry. Get angry at the devil, get angry at sin, but don’t get angry with the man. Don’t start getting bitter and ‘riled up’ in your spirit. The wrath of man cannot work the righteousness of God. That is why Brother Paul said, “Reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.”Brother Paul said, fight that devil with doctrine, make sure what you are saying is in the scriptures, because that’s the time the devil is trying to catch every word that you speak and wants to get you angry. So give due consideration for all souls and minister with the hope of deliverance until you see the fulfilment of Hebrews 6: 4-6. This is what I mean; with all your exposure of unbelief, heretics, heresies and wrong that will come in the House of God, always have down in your very heart, one consciousness and that is minister with the hope of delivering those souls from bondage. You have seen that example in this message here. In dealing with a man who we fought with, Pastor McGahee tried to woo that man to repentance for thirty six years, and even right now we are still throwing out the line to him: “Repent”, although it looks dim. But when a man would hold on to a lie with all the witnesses that he got from Bethel and G.C.C. and my own confession, and cannot prove it in my tapes and books, then it looks bad. You don’t have to ask which way that tree is going to fall. The prophet said the way the tree leans that is the way it falls.Some ministers are so emotional that from the time a man comes against them and says something about their wife and say something against them or say something contrary like if they want to break the church, they go to pieces, and after they go to pieces they get so emotional, they get so angry, they come to the pulpit and start talking about this man. What they are trying to do is to get equal with that man for speaking evil against them and against their wife and against their children. That is not the gospel! The wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. And God could allow that man to say that to give you a trial as a minister, though he be a seed of the serpent, just to test your temperance. You have to love a soul more than that, that don’tCLXXI
matter what that man does, don’t matter what he says, don’t matter how he comes against your family, you still have a place down in your heart: “I wish he would repent. I don’t hate the man, I have no bitterness against the man. All that I am saying and the way that I am preaching is only if that man could repent.”Brethren, it is a terrible thing knowing that soul is ushering into a lost eternity, to suffer in hell for millions of years. Don’t matter what that man does, you minister with a hope until a certain time.“Why Brother Bruce?” There would be genuine people who get caught up under false teachers and heresies when they start moving, and you cannot put everything in the same category and just beat it down to death, into a hopeless case because God’s children will be caught up under that false teacher and you have to be very considerate of a soul. Always be conscious of that.Ministers, don’t matter how wrong a man is, the Holy Spirit will not come upon you, unless you open up your heart in the interest of his salvation. Don’t matter what you say and how hard you say that, you minister with the desire to turn that man from his unbelief, his sin, turn that family from their error, save that family, yes sir, save that brother, save that sister from her error. So now, that is the attitude with which you actually expose sin, chastise wrong and preach against all heresies. You are hoping and you are trusting for that soul. It doesn’t matter how hard you coin your words and what your face looks like, but when you preach the Word of God, you are looking with the blessed hope that this message tonight might turn that brother, might turn that sister. Now, that’s the only way that the Holy Ghost could really work through you as ministers.THIS IS THE CONDEMNATION - HEBREWS 6:4-6Now, there is a limit. There is a boundary. You cannot go on all the days of your life just hoping and hoping. Now, the limit is after you have done your best with all godliness, all desire, all love in your heart to save those people and you see that they are getting worse, calling the ministry of Christ “the devil”, which they themselves confessed that it was God, it was the presence of God, it was the Spirit of God, it is the truth, and there is no other truth outside of it, and then because of malice, because of hatred, because of wickedness and offences, say, it’s the devil. Now, when they say that, down in their hearts they know better than what they said. That’s the condemnation. This is the condemnation Jesus said, right there you are condemned (John 3:19).You are ministering to turn that man from his unbelief until you see he commits the sin unto death. The Bible said in 1 John 5: 16-17:< If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.>What is the sin unto death? It is the unpardonable sin. It is the blasphemy of the Holy Ghost that Jesus said cannot be forgiven, and that is you knowing that to be the truth, harden your conscience and get so angry and you become so wicked to call it a lie. That is the blasphemy of the Holy Ghost. And when you call that a lie, that means that you call the truth that you sat under, “a lie.” You call the presence of God, “devil power.” You call that man of God who brought the Word to you, and he had been so kind to you, because you got angry or because he exposed you, you call it “the devil”, you knowing and you being conscious that that is God, conscious that that man is a servant of God, you are conscious that that man is not an adulterer, you are conscious that that man loves the Lord and preaches the true Word of God, and because you get angry or because you get vex, you say, “It’s the devil!” You are finished!If you do that in your ignorance, now coming from organisation or the world, and you say, “That man preaching there, I tell you I don’t like him, he is the devil!” Nothing would happen to you. You did that in your ignorance, without seeing the Word, before being enlightened by the Word, and you were not a partaker of the Holy Ghost. But if ever you saw what that man was saying, though you be a sinner, though you be an organisational member, and you heard him say, “A woman should not preach”, and he turns in that Bible and shows you that, and you see it, but to be nasty now, you say, “That water baptism, it is the devil!” You say,CLXXII
“That man is the devil!” But you looked at it in the Word and you know that the Word really said that. Right there you are finished, just on that water baptism, just on that woman should not preach.Now friend, that’s your flashing red light of Hebrews 6: 4-6. Now, after he says that so many times, what happens is that God causes him to believe what he is saying. He is given over to a strong delusion and then he will believe that delusion and then he would be damned by that lie. Now, that is the blasphemy of the Holy Ghost.Now ministers, your authority is to preach in three ways and attack unbelief in three ways. That is, you preach by true reports and no man can despise you, you preach by discernment and you preach by experience, and above all, pin that thing down by the Word. All your corrections and all your doctrines in the time of battle, must be pinned down tight in the Word of God, just like you see me do for all those years. That is in order not to give any space to the devil, that he could come and say, “Where is the Word?” Hit solid blows and pin it down in the Word of God and that devil must be defeated. After that, who wants to go let them go. Don’t spend any restless nights after you preached the Word of God. Lay back preachers, listen to me, this will save you from the insane asylum, save you many heartaches and save you your health. Listen to Brother Bruce.The foundation of the Lord standeth sure and all that Father hath given will come and none can pluck them out of His hand (II Timothy 2:19, John 6:37, John 10:29). In other words, there is a certain number whose names are on the Lamb’s Book of Life. Beloved, not one will be lost. So when people arise and turn their backs on the Word of God, after you have done what you are supposed to do, commit them to God. As a minister, you would come under a burden because you are concerned for people. All that is in predestination and they will have to answer for that burden that you came under.CANNOT CHANGE TARES INTO WHEAT - TRAP BY FAKED REPENTANCEYou, as a minister, and the people will come under burden. They will pray, and after that prayer goes forth, that burden is going to leave you. When that burden leaves you, it is going to be for the better or for the worse. When that burden leaves you my friend, you go on eat your meals, rejoice in the Lord, giving the Lord glory that you have done your part. And don’t you ever forget this, preachers, that right under the Word of God there are the wheat and the tares, and the tares are the ones who will give you the trouble and you cannot do one single thing in this life to turn the tare into a wheat. You cannot change a goat into a sheep. You cannot put anybody’s name in the Lamb’s Book of Life if it is not there.Matthew 6:27 <Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?>In other words, you are a short man and you are going to worry about that every time you look in the mirror. Jesus said, if you worry from now until you die, you are not going to put on any more height. And because your faces are not pretty sisters, and every time you look in the mirror you say, “But I am ugly!” That is not doing you any good. You have not gotten prettier. You will get uglier, because you are worrying. God made you like that, accept it. Accept the thing! Some people worry about stupidness in this life. They look into the mirror and say, “Boy, I am really black, yes!” What is that? “Well, my nose is really long.” You are living in an imaginative world. Accept the thing: black, white, blue or yellow, pretty, ugly, short or fat, that is the way that the Lord designed you, well accept the thing. That is how I know life.Watch out for false repentance and acknowledgement of the Word. Now, after they are exposed they fake repentance many times, but you as the minister have to stand up and divide whether that is faked or true repentance. So now, the devil sends people with fake repentance in order to work upon the hearts of the loved ones or the church and say, “That minister should give the man a chance.” You leave that to the minister. Now, that is to create confusion in the House of God. Such things are determined by the test of the Word and the fruits that they bear. “Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance.”Ministers, watch out for Esau seeking repentance with tears and cannot find it. He went to the very prophet with tears, and there are people who will come with tears in their eyes, scream at the top of their voices,CLXXIII
begging for mercy and cannot have a repentant heart. They will go out and do the very same things. Another thing, look out for Judas repenting with reconciliation. Judas came back, repented and brought back the money that he received and said he was wrong and that he betrayed the innocent blood. It is a terrible thing to sit down and hear truth and know that it is the truth and because of some other reason in life you turn down that truth. There comes a time when the Lord cuts you off, and although you have tears in your eyes that don’t mean that you are getting repentance. Ministers, tears and reconciliation don’t mean to say that a person repented. No!We have many battles ahead, this is the way to stand against unbelief. Yes sir! Stay with the Word as ministers, chasten everything that is against the Word of God, and when it retaliates give it more licks. When it puts its head up again give it more licks. Don’t you ever go and beg people back to the church. That’s the worse thing for you to ever do. We are not interested in membership; we are interested in people correcting their lives. Watch out for traitors; watch out for deceit by some in the church. Whenever you have a vital statement to make put it on paper ministers, read it right out of your book like you see me do here. They would come back and say, “You said this, you said that and you said that”, and they will make confusion.Avoid foolish questions. Don’t engage in arguments. They either believe what you preach or they don’t want it. Don’t stand up and argue by their houses or by the church gate, don’t engage them in any kind of battle. They either want the Word or they don’t want it. And tell them plain, that “You either want the Word or you don’t want it. This is the way that I believe and this is the way that I am standing. If you don’t want it, leave.”HOW THE SHEEP SHOULD STAND IN THE TIME OF BATTLELet me come to you sheep. How should the sheep stand in a time of battle, standing against unbelief? The Bible said, “Contend for the faith that was once delivered unto the saints.” Contend means to do battle, to stand up firmly against all unbelief, all sin and every unbelieving tongue. From the time a man speaks unbelief shut him up and let him know where you stand immediately. That is the way to stand against unbelief as a sheep. From the time he brings unbelief to you, immediately put a backbone in your back and let him know: “I believe what I believe and don’t want to hear anything from you. Both of us sat down and heard. What can you tell me now? You testified.” Don’t play the part of a hypocrite. Be firm, be kind and to the point. Avoid arguments, and above all, stand with the man or men who have the Word of God. That is the first requirement of the sheep in standing against unbelief. Your shepherd is ordained to lead you to safe grounds. You cannot make it alone in a time when such spirits arise, you need a shepherd to lead you through.India, Africa, when these spirits arise in your church or anywhere they attack from, you cannot make it alone. You would need somebody with experience to guide you.Keep your eyes on that shepherd when trouble arises, if heresies arise, if confusion arises in the House of God, wherever you are; when the world council of churches squeezes you, when the government comes against the church to close it down, you need somebody to lead you, as much as you have heard, you will want to know what to do. Some of you have learned enough because of certain battles, you know what to do in certain situations, but there are situations that you have never faced as yet. You have never faced the World Council of Churches. You still need leadership. There are spirits that will arise that are not in this book that I am publishing. It takes God to lead us through.Congregation, do not get up and run out and start doing the wrong things and get nasty in your spirit. No! Do not start handling the problem and start doing this and that. You are going to end up in confusion. Yes, see what your shepherd is doing, wait on him. That is why God has a leader in everything, wait and see what your leader is doing. Communicate with him. “Let him that is taught in the Word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.” Yes! Listen for instructions and act accordingly. Some things the shepherd would not be able to tell you plainly in a time of trouble and disturbances. You will have to get it by divine revelation. Do you understand why I say, “Sando?” [Congregation says, “Amen!”] Do you understand why I say, “Mr. Parham and why I say Miriam? [Congregation says, “Amen!”] I do not have money for lawsuits. ButCLXXIV
does the congregation understand? [Congregation says, “Amen!”] Well, the gospel is preached. They cannot stop this gospel. Like Brother Mitchell, our lawyer here, told me: “They cannot stop this gospel Brother Bruce.Some things cannot be spoken plainly because there will be traitors right there to catch it and misconstrue it and carry it to the enemy to cause more confusion, so you have to catch these things as the Holy Spirit brings them to you. You have to be listening.Ministers in India, Africa, Trinidad, Guyana, be careful. You will have traitors like Judas sitting around the supper table (“Supper table Judases”) to pick up your words and go and betray you to the police, to the World Council of Churches.” We are preparing for later too. Be careful! Yes!MARK THEM THAT CAUSE DIVISIONS - AVOID THEMRomans16:17 <Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.>This is one of the weapons that my little group employed in 1974. There was a certain time when we tried to win those heretics and those grey birds that turned into black crows. But there came a time that I went to the pulpit and said, “We draw our lines, we would not fellowship”, and that took us a long way. We marked them. Mark means to observe critically. All who come up with anything to disturb the House of God; sin or doctrine, you should critically observe them, watch and see what they are doing, and all who you see speaking unbelief and trying to cause problems in the House of God avoid them. If they are contrary to the Word and the Doctrine which you are taught, avoid them. “Avoid them” means you are not going to eat or drink or buddy-up with them. If they are not walking right, acknowledge them; “How are you brother? Hello, etc”, because they are still in the House of God. Don’t stand up and listen to what they have to tell you, unless they want to repent.Stand with the Word. Stand against every unbeliever who will come up against that Word. Don’t give them an ear. Minister to such a man to a certain degree, with the hope of winning his soul, because you do not know who he is as yet. He has not fully manifested who he is as yet, and you cannot call him a seed of a serpent, a Cain’s seed or say that he has blasphemed. He has to reach to a certain place and you as the minister and congregation have to know when to stop praying for him, and that is when he commits the sin unto death. You don’t count him as an enemy as yet, he is around the House of God but he is contrary to the Word of God and is saying the wrong things and living contrary to the Word. The Bible said, don’t count him as an enemy, but note that man and have no company with him. (1 Corinthians 5:11).SEPARATION - MIDDLELINEAlright here is your dividing line. Such people who are changing doctrines, living in sin and doing contrary to the Word, they are in and out of the congregation. You have a certain relationship with them but yet you are watching them carefully, you are not listening to what they say and if ever they say something contrary, you oppose them. When they are expelled Jesus said, “Let him be unto thee as a heathen and a publican.” The church looses the man, then he is a heathen and a publican, have no fellowship with him, you do not bless him because II John 1: 10-11 says, do not receive him neither say God bless you because you are partaker of his evil deeds. Let that be father, mother, brother, sister, best friend, rich man, poor man, soldier, king or monarch, the Bible said don’t tell him God bless him and don’t receive him into your house. John had known those devils and what that devil could do to a whole house. Don’t pray for such a man, don’t eat with him, and don’t drink with him. That’s the Bible!I Corinthians 5:1-2, 11, 13 says to have no company with him, no, not to eat with such a man who claims to be a brother and then he is an adulterer, fornicator, liar, thief, has bad temper, he is a brawler or any such thing. Have nothing to do with him.CLXXV
I Corinthians 5:11, 13 <...But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.>II Thessalonians 3: 14-15 said, admonish him as a brother and don’t count him as an enemy but have no company with him.II Thessalonians 3: 14-15 <And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.>Romans 16: 17 <Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.>Did the Bible say to go and hug them up? [Congregation says, “No!”] My brothers and sisters, there is a reason why the Bible is telling you that. There is a reason why the Bible is telling you to do that. It is not me that is making separation. No, it is the Bible that is telling you, the apostles who are telling you how they stood. The Bible tells you how the early church stood. Yes! They stood up against these spirits. It is not the men, it is the devil that is inside of them.II Corinthians 6:14-18 <Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.> Matthew 18: 17-18. Jesus our Lord speaking: <And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell [it] unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, lethim be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever yeshall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.> Are these the word of God? [Congregation says, “Amen! Yes it is!”] Then why do people in our verymidst think that they are snake handlers and they could go and fellowship with family and friends and who they consider as their own, and backsliders and everything and boast about it and try to say that it is nobody’s business? Don’t you know that when your daughter or son backslides, live like a dog and live outside there, and you take them and have them in your house, don’t you know that they will pervert the other children? [Congregation says, “Amen!”] Don’t you know that is an example for the other girls and boys in your house? And don’t you know that one by one your children would get that spirit of fornication and adultery in them and go out from your house?What about if I take those people and bring them back here like nothing had happened, would they not contaminate this church? [Congregation says, “Amen!”] And if I turn a blind eye to it, would they not pervert your sons and your daughters? Would they not interfere with the smooth running of this church? [Congregation says, “Amen!”] Well, that is the reason that Brother Paul said to put out such a one from the House of God.Dale, that blind guide, cannot understand that. He is crying for his mother like a little baby, because his mother applied these scriptures and stood up against him. He cannot see in the Bible where we should separate. The Bible said to separate. And when a man has that kind of spirit that is why he cannot separate from Sodom too. He doesn’t see the reason for separation from Sodom.DEADLY ENEMYCLXXVI
Galatians 1:8-9 say, let him be accursed. Now, it is getting real tough here now. Let him be accursed!This man here, who has gone this far has become your deadly enemy because he has turned against Christ. Anything that is anti-Christ is against Christ. In such a moment, you as believers, draw closer together in fellowship. I quote Brother Branham. On “Christ the mystery of God revealed” he said, “Draw the buckles tighter, and if that person is being used by the devil, he will go out.”Now, avoid rehearsing to each other, negative actions and negative statements by the opposition party. Don’t sit down and just talk about what the man said and what he did. No, that is not going to do you any good; talk about the Lord, talk about healthy things, positive things, otherwise you become a mouthpiece to spread the rumours that man is bringing out. When you hear that and tell everybody, you become a preacher and a messenger for that man. If you think the minister needs to know it then tell the minister. Contend for the faith.Now, report to the ministry of Christ every attack of unbelief that anybody makes upon you. Anyone who arises and speaks unbelief, you must report that to the ministry, that is contending for the faith. If you hear things that are contrary to the gospel, ask questions about them. You should report all unbelieving persons to the church, the ministry. Now, that is standing against unbelief. How many believe that? [Congregation says, “Amen!”] Yes, this is what has led us thus far. What I taught to you tonight is the way that the believers stood and this is the way that the ministry stood in order that you might have the pure Word of God preached unto you tonight. Yes, that’s the way.I want to humbly thank you brothers and sisters for bearing patience with me; sitting and listening for more than five weeks, to the Word of the Lord, that other people around the world can benefit. May the Lord bless your hearts. May we stand as men and women against all unbelief, carnal weapons of war. It doesn’t matter from what quarters they arise, it could be your neighbour, it could be your friend, it could be a brother sitting right here today who is listening to this and would later rise up with unbelief, immorality and sin. It could be your husband, it could be your wife, it could be who, these scriptures you must apply if you are going to stand. Off course, some people are penned up. It is their very husband, it is their very wife, it is their very child in the house, then there is a different measure for that. Yes! We understand that. I am talking generally. And that is the way you should stand up in India, that is the way you should stand up in Africa, that is the way you should stand up around the world. So we say, “The Lord bless you there on the streaming at G.C.C., down in “Bethel Guyayna”, Grenada and over in America there, the rest of you who are streaming, even unto Arizona and different places over there, in Malaysia, my precious brother, and over there in the Philippines you will get the tapes, and over there in Australia, my precious Brother Blessing. And if you are there in Kenya, my precious Brother Ibobo, and Brother Mutwa and the different ones: Brother Timothy Asare, Brother Gamado and the different brothers throughout Africa and the others who will get these tapes; may they be a blessing to you all. We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord. Yes, and I know that these messages will live on to help the churches throughout the world in the days to come. May the Lord bless them who are streaming over there in Canada. May the Lord bless each one whom I have even forgotten, and we will give them a little wave now. Say, the Lord bless you. [Congregation says, “The Lord bless you!”] The Lord bless you. [Congregation says, “The Lord bless you!”] The Lord bless you. [Congregation says, “The Lord bless you!”] Yes, that makes a lot of difference to them to know that there are people holding the fort on this side of the world. Yes my beloved. We will bow our heads.Father and our God, we give you the praises and the honour and the glory. From the depths of our hearts Lord. Not in hypocrisy and insincerity, but from the depths of our hearts we give you the praise for delivering us from bondage of sin, bondage of religion, bondages of interpretations, bondage of interpretation in our own minds O Lord. I know father that your people have benefitted, and bless your people everywhere, in India and Africa, overseas, at G.C.C. Father, bless your children who have suffered and listened to the words of God for the past weeks, Lord and I know that they will be better people. Bless and undertake for each one of them. Go with us and be with us. We commit our lives into your hands. In the Name of Jesus Christ we pray with thanksgiving, and the congregation say, “Amen!” [Congregation says, “Amen!”] Amen means so let it be. Give us a song still Brother Chandler.CLXXVII
[Congregation sings, “Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place.”]SELF REIGNETHCHAPTER TENRomans 6:12-23 <Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey;whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form ofdoctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded yourmembers servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, andthe end everlasting life. For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.>I do not know when these messages will stop on “Self And Satanic Delusions.” I really believe that it should continue. It is a never ending message till the rapture, because we always have some self and pride and ambition. And I was thinking that Brother Paul, the greatest apostle in the New Testament time, saying, “I die daily.” Yes! Imagine that; a man with the great outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and that man said, “I die daily; beating this body and bringing it into subjection of Christ.” And he advised the church to mortify the deeds of the body. And that is what Christianity is all about, that is why this message cannot end. As long as we are here we have to mortify the deeds of the body, we have to put down self, pride and ambition to enter the Kingdom of God. So minister brothers, continue to blast that old spirit, old evil nature, self and pride and ambition.Don’t you know that if those things are not surrendered in your life you cannot be born again, and you cannot receive the Token? [Congregation says, “Amen!”] I really believe that the Lord has opened up a field of the Word of God here to prepare us for the token, because if these things are in us we cannot qualify for the token. So I really believe that the Lord has opened up a door where we could look down into our own souls, and we must be reminded because we will forget tomorrow. Yes, and this old man jumps up in the way.TAKE HEED OR FALL AWAYNow, when God brings these messages to help the church to draw closer to Him we must take heed. And when we do not take heed we will hear of people falling away. It happened over the decades that after great messages came and people just slighted them and they go along, you hear that this brother fell and that brother fell and his family left the church. Now, it happens, even because the Holy Spirit brought these things to their minds and convicted them about them and they slighted them and never took heed. There could be aCLXXVIII
falling away after such messages. That is not a threat but a reminder. It happened and we have seen it over the past times.Now, whenever such messages go forth, Satan would not sit still. He will send down demons to provoke the church of God, for people to act even more rebellious, do things out of the way, to fight the Word of God. While the Word comes to humble the hearts of God’s children, Satan brings his proud demons sometimes to make people rebellious like they had never heard anything. Yes, it happens. Make them so proud like if the Word had no effect whatsoever. If you are having those attacks, beware, and if you are yielding to such spirits of pride and ambition and vexation and know it all and don’t care about your laodicean attitude, you could be in the list to fall tomorrow. Beware! That is all that I want to say on that. And what I have to say this evening to you, will demonstrate what I have just said, that while these messages were going on in New England, you would understand that Satan was fighting back and causing great havoc in the lives of the people. It’s more than you can imagine here this evening. Yes, and already some rebellion has shown up, even amongst the people of God. They have now gotten bright to be rebellious and threaten to leave the church, and say, “Do not talk to my children that way”, and “You preached against my children and you preached against my wife.” Yes, this is that time.This is the time that young fellows have to come and confess that they committed fornication. With all the Word that is going out, they say, “I have a confession that I committed fornication.” Brothers and sisters, we ought to appreciate the Word more than that. You would think that nobody would go out and be guilty of such things because of the Word which came so forcefully.TESTIMONIES – MESSAGES IMPACTWe had been having some testimonies and some confessions for the past couple months, many confirming each story and account, as personal witnesses, that are published in this book and the experiences that we at Bethel and G.C.C. went through for the past decades. The testimonies are still going on with no stopping in the near future. Many, both young and old, spoke alike of the great impact of these message upon their Christian lives. They came publicly and humbly before the entire congregation, confessing their shortcomings after honestly looking at themselves in the mirror of God’s Word through these messages. Many spoke in Godly anger and disappointment against all the false accusations of Dale in jail, completely denying them as baseless and invented lies, since they as personal witnesses have seen the godly, righteous and just life of your little shepherd for decades. Even the sisters said that it raised their war blood, and felt ready to take on that lying hypocrite, but further confessed that they are women and must hold their peace.I must stop here at this juncture to say how much I really appreciate your testimonies and confessions. I want to especially say how much I appreciate the confessions of the young people. I have waited for this for some time. I have never heard such heartfelt confessions and determination to do right like I have heard in the past weeks. Brother Stephen Mcintosh’s confession was outstanding and heartfelt. And there were others who followed, and I could not help but admire these young men and young sisters and the older ones; the way they shamelessly came here and confessed. The Lord said, “If you confess me before men, I will confess you before my heavenly Father. And if you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my heavenly Father on the day of judgment. And a confession is very important. The Bible said, “Confess your faults one to another and pray for one another.” So don’t stop doing that at all. It is an encouragement to the ministers, to the deacons and to the songleaders. It is a great encouragement to your pastor and I want you to know that we appreciate your thoughts. We return the praises and honour to God.Brother Seebrat was up here, and I tell you it is the grace of the Lord to cause a sick man like that to stand up and proclaim the Word of God and his testimony. So now, these things that you had been hearing, they are true. And I am happy that they came up here and testified and said, “We know about these things too, and Brother Bruce is not making up these things. They are true. We are witnesses.” You see, you could believeCLXXIX
something stronger when you hear witnesses behind it. Yes! And some of your testimonies that support this book nineteen may go out.Bethel here and G.C.C. are recognized for exposing heresies right through the message and around the world. Any exposition from around the world they send it to us. They say, “Expose this. Expose that.” And the truth of it is: we like the job. It is very edifying.OUTCOME OF DALE AND “GABRIEL THE ARCHANGEL”And I was fixing the last leg of this manuscript, and you will remember that we had a subject called, “Dale, the Prisoner of Satan.” And he wrote a letter to me, accusing me of claiming to be the Son of man, but says that I am really the son of perdition. And then, throughout the course of these messages, you will notice that I am exposing a spirit from India. And a man rose up during these times and claimed to be Gabriel the archangel. How they choose these high and mighty things, I cannot comprehend. So ever so often I stopped during these meetings and tried to reach those souls that were getting mixed up. And those messages were preached in such a way because I discerned that spirit was raising up especially in India. So I am sure that our subscribers, I am sure those that are streaming, I am sure those at G.C.C. who are hooked up (The Lord bless you there at G.C.C.) and I am sure that everybody would like to hear about the outcome of “Gabriel the archangel”, whether he repented or not after such exposition and after all those lessons and types and shadows, and begging, and pleadings and dealing with him as a brother asking him to repent. You would think that if a man is sitting and hearing that, he would fall on his knees right away. And that was the effort to get “Angel Gabriel” to repent. And then, on the other hand, Dale the prisoner of Satan, I wrote him a letter, which I read from the pulpit on one of the messages, hoping that this man would have a change of heart but my faith was very low.I am trying to bring a report to all about the outcome of Dale the prisoner of Satan, and this person here, “Angel Gabriel.” I will have to call his name. And this will be a lesson to show you how powerful self, pride, ambitions and demon possessions really are. That after these people sat and heard, at least some, if not all, these messages on that subject, they still chose to continue in their delusion.I will take up this fellow, Dale Graybill, first, get him out of the way and that will clear me up for book 19. This is the last leg of it here. There will be a special booklet put up on the website entitled, “Dale, The Prisoner Of Satan, And Jim Rosenberry And The Third Testament of Disgrace.” Any more testaments outside of what God ordained has got to be a testament of disgrace. So I want to inform you that I did receive a reply letter from Dale who is in jail. And his letter is a seventeen page letter. A lot of it is trying to propagate their resurrection heresy. This is my letter to him; and this will go right into the booklet. Put that up right there Daniel, “Coming soon: Dale the Prison of Satan.” And it will go up in a matter of days. If they want battle they will have battle. So this is my reply letter. And I will be quoting parts of his letter to show and express to you that people are actually mad. It is madness.JIM AND DALE’S RESURRECTION HERESY – REPLY LETTER“Dale Graybill, prisoner of Satan. I received your Sodom and Gomorrah epistle penned by the hands of a prostitute with several living husbands.It is certainly inspired of the devil, even as you and Jim are anointed of the devil. You are liars and hypocrites. You are saying that you have no proof that I assumed the ministry of the voice of the Archangel after Malachi 4:5-6 the prophet, yet you said I indicated it. And you addressed me as “Bro Bruce” instead ofCLXXX
“that filthy thing, the son of perdition.” You sought to justify sin in your lives and assume yourselves as God’s bride confessing that I, with the congregation live above sin, and preach the word with the greatest clarity.In all that you said above, yet in your delusion you still think that God has revealed to you that I am the fulfilment of II Thessalonians 2, the son of perdition, the man of sin. You addressed me as “Brother”, so then you are another son of perdition. This expresses your madness.Why my care about your accusation? It is because you are a stinking, rotten liar, denying 1200 witnesses, selling your soul to kill the influence of the Word. You sent a copy to Kennedy Madray, you wicked convict.You do not have a revelation of Christ thus you have no revelation of the antichrist. You are a sinner and unbeliever. Dale Graybill and Jim Rosenberry you both are the biggest idiots that the world has ever seen. You are insane and are behind 10 inches thick iron bars, to attempt to justify sin by the written word, and the holiness message of Malachi 4:5-6. It is evident that God has sent you strong delusion, to believe a lie and be damned by it.You call such lie the sounding of the trumpet by Jim, that fool, big idiot and hypocrite. A fool rageth and is confident. You call the message of the prophet the church age law. You bastard born hypocrites who love the vices of Sodom and Gomorrah. You rejected the holiness standards and excused yourselves by your heresies to wallow in sin. You are certainly anointed by the devil. Your conscience tells you better. You proudly boast of your vices of Sodom as follow:BOAST OF SINYes, I am positive. You are not Christ’s Bride. You serve Satan. You are his bride. You admitted that you and your group broke almost all the commandments of God. I guess sodomy,Quote Dale’s Reply letter: “Look at the contrast in our lives over the last 36 years. Look at your lifeand the ministry and influence that you have and compare it with the life that I have lived. Realize that I amwriting to you from a U. S. Federal prison. From all that I see and know about you, there is a great contrastbetween the two of us. You have “lived the life” and you are a minister of the gospel. I am told that you preachto thousands of people in different parts of the world. Your messages are streamed to the believers in manycountries and you’ve published 18 books, or more. Many people believe you to be God’s Servant and have greatrespect and confidence in your ministry. My own sister Jan is counted in that number.I was invited to GCC several times in the last 3 years. I saw the result of your, and Brother Kenny’sministries. In all outward appearance, the people in the service that I saw seem to be “living the life” accordingto the church age law and the standard of the Word of God, as it was preached by Brother Branham andBrother Lambert. Why should you care what a convicted felon says about you.”Quote Dale’s Reply letter: “Most of us are ‘ex’ brother-in-laws, or some other strange relationship,because of our disobedience to the Commandments of the Lord. Most of us are divorced and remarried andhave committed all kinds of sin. We all admit that it is very true that we all have sinned and broken most ofGod’s Commandments. If you knew all the details of the past 36 years, it is likely that you could fill “DamnableHeresies Book #19” with them. I’m not saying that, just to be a smart ass. But I am saying it, because it’s true,as you and all men see us.I’m sure, you are positive that, the Holy God, your Bridegroom, would never choose “her” (such abroken fallen woman) for His Bride. She’s just too ugly, she just could not and did not “live the life.” Shedeserves hell fire and the judgment. After all it is 100% obedience to God’s Word that entitles you to the Token.Indeed, it is written...... “You’re going to pay the price.”CLXXXI
lesbianism, bestiality and all the vices of Canaan’s land are included. You scornful hypocrite! These curses are sent of God upon people who know the truth and wallow in sin, and fail to retain God in their knowledge. Your filthy heresy calls it special grace to sin, until perfected. The judgments of God hang over you and all who believe your wicked doctrine.Romans 1: 18-32: <For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not onlydo the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. > “Prophet messenger” Jim with his trumpet, brought a new revelation of grace to sin until perfected. Youshameless hypocrites! You know that neither Brother Branham, the apostles, Jesus, nor Lambert would endorse such a diabolical heresy. You did not bring up this sin-plan while Pastor Lambert was alive. He would have kicked you out of the assembly. You practiced holiness according to the message of W.M. Branham faithfully preached by Lambert. When did God change his message for you bastards? You wallow in sin and the vices of Sodom and Gomorrah and call that grace? Lambert preached, “It’s holiness or Hell.” You are a disgrace to his ministry. Do not identify W.M. Branham nor my pastor Lambert with your sin and corruption. You shameless dog! If you had hung yourself like Jim’s wife, you may have been saved.Your heresy indicated that you are righteous because you believe God like Abraham; never mind the sins you commit. What delusion! What hypocrisy! The scripture: Romans 4: 2-8, you employed to justify your grace plan of sin is a perversion of the truth. It is also written: “ Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.” (James 2:17). Both must work together or your revelation is dead.On the tape “Works is faith expressed”, Brother Branham gave a complete lesson, tying together Romans 4: 2-8 and James 2:17, saying works express your faith-revelation.To justify your sins, wickedness and heresy, you, like the serpent, quoted a part of the scripture and willfully closed your eyes to James 2:14. He gave the revelation of faith and works. God did not leave it for a Sodomite to explain it.It revealed that your faith-revelation is dead. You have no revelation of Christ, the son of man, you CLXXXII
have a dead intellectual faith. Your mind is carnal and it is death (Romans 8:2). You perverted the scripture to accommodate your filthy life of the vices of Sodom, saying that God willnot impute sin unto you. You slimy hypocrite! If your interpretation of that scripture was correct, there would be no need of preachers, prophets and apostles rebuking and correcting the church. You lied! That is for God’s people who are striving to live above sin and make a mistake. Not to wallow in Sodom and Gomorrah, or the apostles and the early church would have wallowed in sin. You have no scripture to show that such grace is a promise for the Bride in the end time. It is holiness or hell! Your mental insanity gives me a little hope of your deliverance. Grant it O Lord!The eternal foundation of the Bible, the written Word of God and the revelation of it is that God and sin cannot co-exist. Every true prophet messenger, apostle, servant of God and saint witnessed to that fact. Therefore your grace plan of sin, of Jim and his flock, is of the devil.The prophet Brother Branham believed, preached and established holiness. He built upon the foundation of God’s Bible; Pastor Lambert followed directly in line and never deviated from such holiness standards. You crows arrived too late. You failed to make the sharp turn and fell into a dark chasm. You do not represent God’s servants or any of the prophets from Genesis to revelation. Therefore you and Jim represent the kingdom of Satan, sin and unrighteousness. You both are anointed of the devil to falsely identify God servants with sin. You bastard born, slimy hypocrites. Your grace plan of sin has it foundation in the Catholic Church. You have fallen lower than every organization.Jesus was born right. The seed of life was in him. He was being made perfect by the things he suffered, yet His seed did not have to corrupt in Sodom, like yours. It was constant, upward progress unto perfect righteousness. Your seed, which you claim that you received from the son of man, is producing a life of corruption. Instead of upward progress to righteousness, it has produced unrighteousness, taking you down to the tribulation and unto hell. It shows that is not the same seed of Christ nor the apostles. Brother W.M.B. had the same seed and also Brother Lambert. It did not have to corrupt in Sodom. This proves that you are born by a corruptible seed from the kingdom of Satan. (I Peter 1: 23).him.I John 2:3-6 <And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are inHe that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.>The Word says that you don’t know Him, you are a liar, the truth is not in you and you are not of God. We are of God.I John 2:15 <Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.>him.>Your soul is filled with hate and the world and not of love.I John 2:29 <If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born ofYou are not born again.I John 3:3-10 <And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Sonof God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin,because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth notrighteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.>CLXXXIII
You have manifested who you are. You are not of God. Your heresy conveniently isolated sin to mean only unbelief. The Word says it is the transgression of the law and if you sin you don’t know Him, but you are of the devil, if you do not righteousness you are not of God. Make God’s Word something else you rebellious make-believer.I John 5:18 <We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.>You are not born again.II John 1:9 <Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.>You have not God. We have God and His son.I am fully acquainted with your resurrection heresy. Your letter is trying to prove it right in the word and message. It’s antichrist, of the devil and the pit of Hell. You and Jim are anointed by demons of the Euphrates. I am not obligated to answer your rubbish epistle. The subject I challenged you about is to prove that I claimed to be the voice of the archangel, the son of man, the bridegroom. You are found a liar! Repent or perish!We have proven you a liar: Pastor McGahee and his congregation of G.C.C. U.S.A, Pastor Sookdeo Ramnarine and Bethel saints. In your reply letter, you have turned many corners by your lying tongue to prove your heresy and false accusation. You are exposed and will be further exposed to the world.You asked if I prayed for your lost soul. At least you know that you are lost. Yes, many times but with little or no faith. Yes I read the article about your jail sentence for being a thief to the congregation and will do so to the world. They must know the big thief and liar you are. With such beam in your eye you are trying to take the splinter out of my eyes that makes you a shameless hypocrite. Who am I? I am a preacher of righteousness ordained by God to condemn your filthy life. No, I don’t need a Sodomite for a pen pal. No, the people don’t see Christ in Bruce to be born again. You lied! Your heresy assumes that lie. You think that none can be born again since the prophet fell asleep. You make-believer. Preachers preached Christ-Jesus, the son of man after his departure for three hundred years and got people born again. Your devilish doctrine says that the voice of the Archangel is silent. W. M. Branham said the voice and the trumpet are the same:WHAT IS A TRUMPET? THE VOICE OF CHRISTQuote W.M.B.: 150 That voice... Let's speak on that voice a minute... what this voice is going to say. Oh, we all know what it's going to say... We know what's going to happen. "The trumpet of God shall sound and the dead in Christ shall rise." Is that right?... I Thessalonians 4:16 and 17, "the voice." That voice was the voice of Christ. Is that right? The voice of Christ.... for the trumpet of God shall sound, and the dead in Christ shall rise first:... we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them... to meet the Lord in the air: and forever be with the Lord.The same voice that summoned John, "Come up," the same voice that said to John, "Come up," is the same voice that'll summons the church someday (Amen.), summons the church.Also, the same voice that summoned John to come up, is the same voice that summoned dead Lazarus out of the grave, that same voice of the archangel. Christ is the voice of the archangel, "voice of the archangel." See? Oh, that trumpet voice of Christ summoned John to come up, the same voice summoned Lazarus. Did you notice at the grave of Lazarus, He spoke with a loud voice. (Not just said, "Lazarus, come forth." [Brother Branham imitates weakness--Ed.]) "Lazarus, come forth!" It summoned him from the dead.And he answered, "Here am I." And he come from the dead, after he was dead and his body rotten. That same voice said to John, "Come up here; I'll show you some things that's fixing to happen." That same voice that shall sound when the dead in Christ rise, "For the trumpet..." The trumpet... Whatis a trumpet? The voice of Christ, the same One sounded and summoned him up. He heard the voice like a trumpet sound and said, "Come up hither." See how the resurrection will be? It'll be in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye. That clear sounding voice, and He'll summons the church, calling, "Come out of it." That great summonsing voice, God, help me to hear it that day.CLXXXIV
...someday when He calls, I'll come out from among the dead, when He summonses me to appear on high, when the trumpet of God shall sound and the dead in Christ shall rise. (Revelation Chap. Four Pt. 1 60- 1231).Your claim of Jim sounding the trumpet of the resurrection is antichrist. In other words you indicate that he is a prophet messenger, the son of man revealed, Christ veiled in human flesh. The voice and the trumpet are one and the same. Hence the voice of the son of God brings the first resurrection. It is a token’s ministry, not a man coming from the grave. The man is waiting on us, the Bride.<Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.> (John 5:25).Finally, you big idiots, Jim and Dale, the above scripture defeats your resurrection heresy. You say that you are waiting on the son of man to resurrect the dead. The Bible emphatically stated: son of God. The token is before the resurrection and rapture. You are saying it is after the resurrection, by perverting the words: “The dead in Christ shall rise first. “ You liars, bastard born hypocrites, Jim and Dale. You perverters of the Word, you idiots. The Word is not speaking about the resurrection before the token, but before the rapture. So the living do not hinder the dead. You need to shut your big heretical mouths and give Christ the glory. Amen!”ASSERWATHAN & “ANGEL GABRIEL” JAYARAMNow, this lesson is going to show you the real ambition of men, that though men speak to them, plead with them, beg them and tell them don’t go that way, their self, and their pride and their ambition is so strong that they will sit and hear all of that Word, and go and do the wrong things. We have people like that right here seated; that they will hear all what they heard, heard all the preaching for decades and will get up, go and do the wrong things, live in sin and go to hell. Now that is how strong self is. The minister brothers described it real good in their messages.Now, this brother who I was dealing with is a brother from India his name is better known now as “Gabriel the archangel.” I pleaded with this man in many ways to repent. He was number one in the army. He was a very great help to Brother Sookdeo and the crew that went with him to India. He protected them from one corner of the country to the next. He was not a preacher but he was a follower of Ganism. So by their preaching, this man came out, and afterward he retired from the army, but he came out with a certain great ambition of being number one. Now bear in mind, I am not saying that this man is a lion and is not a nice man. All can bear witness that he’s a very nice person. He wrote me letters and he was very nice but then brethren, you cannot jump higher than the Lord wants you to jump.Romans 12:3 <For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.>A mistake was made and he was ordained to the pulpit too quickly. And the Bible warned us, don’t ordain a novice. Straight from the army he came; and they ordained him assistant pastor of a church. And the pastor there was a precious and humble brother called, Brother Stephen. From the time this man came to that church, he stirred up trouble, he got some together and he threw out Brother Stephen from being the pastor. Brother Stephen wrote me, “What to do?” I said, “Brother, take your believers who believe you and open your church and leave Jayaram to himself. The Lord will deal with this man.” Now do you see the first expression of pride, self and ambition? You get a little place to preach; you want to be a flying angel.So the first letter of error that this man wrote to me was that I am a prophet, “Brother Bruce is a prophet and has this certain ministry and the next ministry.” I wrote him a humble letter, “My brother, you are mixed up in your head. I am not such, I don’t claim such. All that I claim is that I thank God for the anointing that is upon me. I am a preacher of righteousness. Don’t go that way. I never projected that.” He wrote me and he was determined, he said, “Yes, you are that!” God had revealed to him that I am a prophet and I am this and I amCLXXXV
that. I said, “Listen to me; you don’t know more about my ministry than me. Shut up! If God has to tell me something, He will tell me.” Do you know what happened? The ministry the man was giving to me, he took it. The man took the ministry that I would not take. All right! So I am trying to deal with this brother in love and you will hear for yourself, that when I write a letter like the one I just read to Dale in jail, brethren, it is indicating very bad signals, and it’s a last effort to get a man to repent. I don’t deal with people like that, at home or abroad. They commit sin or they go off into heresies, God has given me patience to deal with man. So I am writing to this brother, because being so ambitious he started to hate Watson for his position, he started to hate Brother Stephen for his position. He wanted to be number one in India. He wanted to be right up next to Brother Bruce, who he assumes is a big, great man. I am just a little preacher trying to preach the truth.”BETHEL {THE HOUSE OF GOD}CALCUTTA ROAD # 2 FREEPORT, TRINIDAD W.I.Date: 5th August 2009My precious Brother Jayaram,Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ. I appreciate all you have done in support of this ministryof Christ, represented in E.O.D.H, in your denouncement of Ganism, support to the brothers who visited Indiaand your love and respect for me whom you addressed as your shepherd. I grew to love you over the shortperiod of time that we corresponded and I yet love you. By this letter I seek your spiritual interest and soulsalvation. I yet have confidence in your love for me and this ministry that you would walk in full obedience tomy advice to you by the Holy Spirit. I hope I am not mistaken. Here is my discernment of your position:You are walking in error precious brother. Listen to your shepherd in the interest of your soulsalvation or your soul would be lost.You did run well until you took it upon your self to preach the message. You were a novice and wasappointed too quickly, thus you were overthrown by pride.“This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. Not a novice leastbeing lifted up with pride he falls into the condemnation of the Devil.” (1Timothy 3:1&6).Such pride, self and ambition were manifested and documented by your own letters to me which Ihave on file. There are also a cloud of witnesses. They are as follows:1. Stephen J. A. was unjustly expelled by you from his pulpit, him being the pastor and you theassistant, this by accusations that were not justified. Brother Watson was misinformed by you, which causedthis brother to be thrown out of the church. You unjustly took over the church and caused the first division inthe ministry of E.O.D.H. Were it not for my intervention, Brother Stephen would be a lost soul. He wasadvised by me to open a church and pastor those who believe him. He is doing so up to the present time undermy guidance with great success. Do you treat this brother with love and respect? I was informed otherwise.Instead of repenting and humbling your heart for such a deed you influenced Brother Sam to follow inyour footsteps. His soul is also in the gall of bitterness and bond of iniquity unless he repents.2. Ronald Watson: Letters you wrote expressed bitterness, false accusations, accusing him of beingproud and seeking to hold the greatest position in India and be someone great amongst the ministers.In love and not wanting to hurt your feelings, I told you that I have no such discernment of the man ofGod, but know him to be very humble and submissive to me and the Lord. You insisted and I left the matter upto the Lord. After sometime you admitted your wrong discernment and tried to make up with Brother Watson.However, reports continued to come to me from various quarters of much evil speaking against him,which we both ignored in the interest of church unity, peace and harmony amongst the saints and above all yoursoul salvation.You wrote letters placing me into unscriptural offices, such as prophet etc. I flatly denied the sameletting you know only the outpouring will set the five-fold ministry in order. You replied to my letter insistingCLXXXVI
that I have such ministries. I denied it again and requested that you stop propagating such falsehood. I am notsure if you corrected such in your congregation and to others.I positively discerned that you were entering into a satanic delusion, that you lacked the revelation ofChrist and was not born again. I knew that you were in danger of assuming an office that God did not call youto.I was fearful for your soul and that of Sam’s and also the congregation. As a result I advised you toleave the pulpit. Stop preaching, since you had no revelation and not born again. You were not genuinelycalled of God.You were motivated by self, pride and ambition for the ministry. Thus you refused to obey my adviceand continued to preach. You even failed to discuss the subject with me. I continued to hope for your soul, butknew that you could sink deeper into your delusion. Change your course Brother Jayaram.In love and respect to you I never made your wrongs public nor tried to kill your influence amongst theministers. When the three brothers came from India they spoke well of you and tried to defend you but theyneeded clarification on certain items concerning yourself and pastor Watson. They informed me that you arepreaching at Nesan’s church often. I was obligated to let him know that my instruction to you was to quitpreaching with other things, which I told you. I further let them know that I am dealing with you in the interestof your soul, and to go easy with you.I requested questions to be asked of things that were troubling the church, unity amongst the ministersetc. I learnt that you used your influence to boycott the seals meetings. Several questions were sent to me whichI answered. In respect and fairness to you I sent them to you. You did not respond to me, even though Ireminded you.In addition to such open questions many witnesses have identified your preaching at Nesan’s churchwith most of those questions. I cannot force you to reply to my letter. The matter is established in the mouth ofmore than three witnesses.I admonish you to repent for your false accusation of me, the Indian Shepherd, Ronald Watson and ofyour false claims as Gabriel the Archangel. I attached the questions and answers to this letter though I am awarethat you have received them by email.In the interest of the souls you preached to, against Watson and yourself as Gabriel, I must inform theministers and churches of your delusive doctrine and program and the effects they have upon the souls you aredeceiving to Hell and even your own soul. You are free to reply to this letter in defense against all that iswritten. To the questions and answers, if you have witnesses to prove that you are being falsely accused, I willgladly review your matter with all sincerity, love and honesty. I allow you 7 days to submit your defense, whichends at 12 pm on the 12th August 2009.Your Servant for Christ Sake, Dalton Bruce.”This man never replied because he was exposed. I hope you are learning a lesson from this. Brethren, a simple ambition in the congregation to be what God did not want him to be, threw out a brother, then became jealous of another brother, and now flew up in the face of God with two wings. Yes, “Gabriel the archangel.” How people could climb so high, I don’t know.Now, this man went down preaching by Nesan, to kill the influence of Watson, because he wants Watson’s position. So they are writing me questions concerning these heresies that this minister was preaching there. So they did not want to say, “Who and what”, but I am answering accordingly:QUESTIONS & ANSWERS1) “An E.O.D.H. minister who regularly visits to preach in our church, recently preached that afterShepherd Bruce appointed Brother Ronald Watson as Indian Shepherd, by typing Ronald Watson as Cain andCLXXXVII
Shepherd as God, also typed that Shepherd marked him as Indian Shepherd as God marked Cain in the foreheadand said that no man should hurt him. Now, this man says he is speaking out of revelation. We are confused?E.O.D.H. Answer: Whosoever and wherever in any part of the world that will assume to say and tospeak such blasphemy is anointed by the devil. I emphatically state that no such thing transpired in Bethelconcerning Indian Shepherd, Ronald Watson. Watson is not Cain, he is a son of God, he was not marked byShepherd Bruce and Shepherd Bruce did not protect him for that reason.2) Is this minister speaking by divine revelation? This is the question of many confused believers?E.O.D.H. Answer: Absolutely not! Any such revelation is of the devil! There is no need for confusionafter sitting and hearing the Word of God, none should be confused. This is a highly ambitious spirit and at onetime, that said spirit arose and condemned Brother Watson and tried to get me to confirm the same. I bluntlyrefused to do so and I am still standing the same.3) The same minister says that Brother Watson is Saul and he lost his anointing, after seeing hispreaching on the 6th seal?E.O.D.H. Answer: This is a lie of Satan! Watson preached within his God given capacity the 6th sealand many people enjoyed it. He did not lose his anointing. Only a man who is anointed by the devil can speaksuch lies. None of the ministers nor the shepherd of Bethel can confirm this but we can say that Watson is a trueand humble servant of God, hence he was a fit one to be called the India Shepherd, available to all the churcheswho will request his services.4) And also David is getting ready in back part of the desert?E.O.D.H. Answer: David is getting ready in the back part of the dessert now and since the days ofW.M.B. but no man is David. David types the end time bride. Again this is a self-exalted spirit that is not fit tostand behind the pulpit. Such a minister is not born again nor have a divine revelation.5) Even one of our ministers acknowledged him (visiting preacher) as David, we are really confused.Please clarify?E.O.D.H. Answer: Is there a minister that foolish, sitting under E.O.D.H., to acknowledge such adiabolical and satanic interpretation? He needs to repent and not stand behind the pulpit until he changes hisconception! If this brother has already repented then it was a genuine mistake. May the LORD HELP HIM.6) The same minister claims himself to be Gabriel in one of his sermon. Our believers in the churchwant a clear understanding about this as we are confused?E.O.D.H. Answer: There is no Gabriel ministry now! It has already passed! Gabriel was with John theBaptist which types W.M.B. forerunning the second coming of the Lord. So there is no Gabriel nor David norMichael. Any who claim such offices are ambitious, anointed of the devil and their souls are in danger of beinglost. Book 19 will declare many things but before that book is out I will be sending more documents to showhow many people were lost and on their way to hell for being over ambitious, claiming offices of Christ, eighthmessengers, apostles angels etc.7) Typing Shepherd as God?CLXXXVIII
E.O.D.H. Answer: This is absolutely contrary to the Holy Ghost. It takes a blind man to type me asGod. I am not GOD, I am a MAN, a sinner saved by grace who has found grace in God's sight to be called yourshepherd. I am waiting for the outpouring to place me in my office of the five-fold ministry and so to is everyminister around the world. No one is supposed to arise at this time and claim any such office.”ASSERWATHAN’S ALLIANCE WITH JAYARAM - ‘GABRIEL THEARCHANGEL”Alright, you would think that after writing such a nice letter, with understanding, love and consideration, that a man would at least pinch his conscience. Now brethren, this might shock you. You would think that this stupid fellow who arose as “Gabriel the archangel”, the brethren who sat and heard this revelation preached, would just laugh at him and dismiss him as you would do today. This man took his heresy, went down to Daniel Asserwathan and deceived Daniel Asserwathan. He had certain ministers and churches under his control, and Daniel Asserwathan and Jayaram joined together and deceived those five churches and five or six ministers. Now, that gives you a picture of how the demons of the Euphrates River move and their powerful influence. When those spirits start moving, it is like when Korah, Abiram and Dathan arose and they came up against Moses, and they said, “You made yourself a Lord altogether over us.” He said, “Come down, let us talk it over.” They said, “We are not coming!”This is Daniel Asserwathan who preached and testified how much he loved the Word, and went to Africa also and had a big campaign, is now the associate of Jayaram. Brethren, thank God that you are constantly under the Word of God, and many of us faced the rising of these spirits and it never took us away. We laughed at them and they went out. It is not so easy in other countries. Some of these people came from idol worship. They were quick to submit to the pundit (Hindu priest) and they respect their religious leaders even as gods, and when they respect God’s servants, they can really give honour. But the danger is that they can slip and carry that worship and that honour too far, hence they worshipped Lawrie and others as Christ. So it is not a big thing that if a man says he is Gabriel the archangel, to accept “Gabriel”, because these people came from a background that accepted any god, until the Hindu religion has seven hundred million gods.SATAN TRIES TO IDENTIFY BRUCE WITH HERETICSI am trying now by this letter to deliver Asserwathan. So soon after I wrote Jayaram he never wrote back, but Asserwathan wrote me a letter telling me that he is now worshipping “The son of man, Christ and the Melchisedec.” Now, Melchisedec is the name of Jayaram’s church, and he claims to be now worshipping the Melchisedec, and he has his associates. So now, Asserwathan must make an excuse to leave the preaching of the Word and E.O.D.H., and that is he brought up a lie, saying that Watson is preaching Bruce as the son of man. Now, do you see that same spirit moving on Dale at the same time? [Congregation says, “Amen!”] It is a campaign of the devil! Do you know what the devil is trying to do? The devil is trying to take us ministers and number us with the heretics of this world, because we kept clear from the heretics of this world, all the eighth messengers and “prophets” and “apostles”, so the devil now is forcing himself to number me with the heretics outside there, but they have no proof of it. They would receive the sharp edge of the sword.BETHEL {THE HOUSE OF GOD}Calcutta Road # 2 FreeportL.P. #40 P.O. Box 238Tel: 1868-679-3991 Email: Mountainspring_@hotmail.comWebsite: www.bethelthehouseofgod.netCLXXXIX
Date: 20th September 2009.Dear Brother Daniel Asserwathan,Greetings in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Trusting that all is well in the family circle and thechurch. Thanks for your long awaited letter dealing with conflicts between you and pastor Ronald Watson ofKarnataka. I wish to address two major issues that you mentioned in your letter.A. Your declaration of you and your team being “fully experienced to fight against dogmas, heresies,diabolical doctrines and your boss is now the son of man, Christ, the Melchisedec.”B. Your accusation which was made against Ronald Watson, which indirectly casts a shadow upon me,the ministry of Christ and E.O.D.H. publications. This is concerning him preaching me as the son of man-Christ.On article “A”, I ask the following questions and make the following comments: What is the truemeaning behind such statements? Were you and your team in bondage, by me, Watson and E.O.D.H. and youwere liberated in 2008? Were we your bosses? This is the first time that you have spoken with such sarcasmand unbelief. I wrote to you as an individual, but you wrote to me as a team, now qualified to expose heresiesyourselves. Are you indicating that E.O.D.H. ministry needs exposition?The words of your letter expressed much pride, self exaltation and boastfulness. You failed to addressthe heresy of Jayaram, which was one of the main issues, him claiming to be Gabriel the Archangel andWatson, the serpent seed Cain, stamped with the Mark of the beast at Bethel seals meeting 2009 by Bruce,which letter I sent to you and detailed other facts. All who follow the truth of the message documented asE.O.D.H. know for a fact that I am not a dictator over the lives and ministries of ministers around the world.Christ the Word, Melchisedec is who I also follow. Who were you following before December 2008? It is verysad that you only started to do so at that time. By saying this, you have confessed with your mouth that you hadno revelation of Christ. Therefore you are not born again.The Lord revealed to me and it is evident from the above that you desire independence, and you hadbeen secretly, cunningly and selfishly forming a team to withstand the truth of E.O.D.H., and especiallyRonald Watson whom I declared as Indian Shepherd. Hence, I sent out a letter warning all of divisions, partyspirits, self, pride and ambition. You are going the wrong way; repent my brother. This move of yours is death.You and Jayaram could not bear the thought that Watson was recognized by E.O.D.H, so you joined together tocrush him and I am caught in the middle of such jealousy, hatred, guile and malice, hence you declared specialmeetings around the same period that he held his meetings in Karnataka. Now you have become a leader of ateam of ministers. This fulfilled your great desire to be recognized as an independent leader with a greatevangelical ministry for India and other parts of the world. You teamed with Jayaram and his heresies againstWatson because both of you have the same ambition which brought you together. You are one in spirit, self,pride and ambition and have deceived the ministers who are with you. You are destroying the souls of manywho now follow you. I admonish you to repent and turn away from this delusion. You are further destroyingyour gallant sons, wife and daughter, whom I love in the Lord. Sons, do not follow your father and his satanicdelusion. His pride and jealousy are destroying his soul.I challenge you and your team and your capabilities of exposing heresies, with indications that youcan expose even me, Watson and E.O.D.H. Why have you failed to expose “Archangel Jayaram”, but havesheltered him, accepted his heresies, and teamed up with him to destroy Watson? In your subtlety you did notlist his name as one of your heroes. You were silent concerning all his fanaticism on my letter which I sent toyou. Seemingly, you are answering for Jayaram, as a team. You have led these ministers into a serious delusion.It is capable of causing them to miss the outpouring and the rapture. Those were men who loved and respectedthis ministry and their shepherd until you put that spirit of pride upon them. My prayer is with them and I willgo all out for their deliverance from this satanic network of you and Jayaram.CXC
If you are so capable of exposing heresies, where did you learn to expose them and what did you learnto expose? Why are you in a delusion, thinking you are the great leader of India and overseas before theoutpouring places the sons of God? You lack the basic knowledge of adoption, placing of the gifts of the spirit,the setting of the five-fold ministry by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. This was fully declared in the Bible,the message of the prophet and E.O.D.H. You have learnt nothing about exposing heresies and heretics. Yourmouth is full of boastfulness. E.O.D.H. exposed you, corrected your home, corrected your church, exposed yourleader, Ewald Frank, and exposed the leader of Jayaram, heretic Gan. Be it known that you cannot exposeE.O.D.H, but E.O.D.H. will expose you! You are treading on dangerous grounds. Repent!Brothers and fellow-labourers: Daniel Jayaveeran, Amos Baskaran, John Royappan, Samuel Raj,Melvin and Enoch, be not deceived by the pride, ambition and self exaltation of these men: Jayaram andAsserwathan. God told the people; “Come out of the tents of Asserwathan, Abiram and Dathan.” Separateyourselves if you love your souls, your family, and the message of the prophet and the Word of God. Ifevangelist Asserwathan had revelation and was born again he would stay with the Word, the message andE.O.D.H., and stand firmly with this ministry and expose the spirit of Jayaram, but he supports him against thetruth and God’s servants.“International evangelist” Asserwathan, are you denying the next outpouring and revival to start in NewEngland, U.S.A? Is that revival coming to you and Jayaram in India? How are you and your team to receivethe outpouring and go in the rapture?Quote W.M.B.: Then Wednesday night we expect to have a great climax in the service, and prayingthat sometime along this way, that something will happen to the people that'll set their hearts afire for God, thatan old fashioned revival will break out in New England. It's tried on the west coast; it's tried in the middleeast, tried in the south, but seemingly that this is our last place to try: New England. Here's where ourforefathers landed for this freedom of religion on Plymouth Rock. It is from these sacred soils here that prayingmen and women went forth to establish this great spiritual economy that we are privileged to serve today. NoAmerican could be ashamed of their forefathers who landed in this country, went to church packing guns, whocame here for freedom of religion, went on horseback, covered in old wagons, fought the Indians and so forth,to get to go to church. Those bloods bathed this soil. If we'll be sincere and believe in the God that they believedin and serve Him with the same reverence that they served Him with, we'll see a revival again. And I believeit will start in New England. God's willing to do it if we're willing to carry it. (Tested Faith Produces Goods58-0518 E-3).You are yet in a delusion of Pentecostalism and heresies of Ewald Frank, your leader. Jayaram yetfollows Ganism. Therefore you are not capable of exposing heresies as you boasted, but you need expositionand you are being exposed along with Jayaram, who falsely claims that he is Gabriel the Archangel. Are younot ashamed my brother, to support such diabolical heresies and shamelessly support Jayaram instead of helpingthe brother to denounce his madness? You made him your associate because his hatred for Watson matchesyours. You are not after truth, but desire to destroy the truth and the servants of God. In the light of all thesethings that I have mentioned, prove to me, if you are a great evangelist and teacher of the Word, that you andyour team are capable of exposing heresies, since 2008. I have proven to you that you went into a delusion,together with Jayaram, since that time, and you are anointed of the devil, just like him. You are passing thatanointing and your heresies, your unbelief, pride, self and ambition to the poor souls of your team. Shame onyou!I conclude that you are not a fit minister to open your mouth behind any pulpit worldwide. You haveno revelation and you are not born again and you are void of the Spirit. Your life is not even right! I would notmention the personal items against your immoral speeches to Watson and other ministers about your bedroomlife, which you disclosed to him and other ministers, along with other things. He has corrected you by apersonal letter. Such letter, I have in my possession.CXCI
I also have a letter from Soleman Brith of your ill treatment and persecution of him and his familyuntil he had to leave your church to save his sanity. I personally came to his rescue when you attempted to expelhim from E.O.D.H.’s ministry. I and other ministers refused to support you, saying that E.O.D.H is not anorganization. This you have done to a precious soul because he denounced your false claim of being anevangelist and commending Brother Nesan behind your pulpit. I will now address your diabolical lie of Satan,under section B.B. Your accusation which was made against Ronald Watson, which indirectly casts a shadow uponme, the ministry of Christ and E.O.D.H. publications. This is concerning him preaching me as the son of man-Christ.You have a special reason for repeating this false accusation. You needed a tool to work againstWatson to crush him once and for all and exalt yourself as a mighty leader. Thus, you numbered yourself withmy enemies and the same weapon that they employed, which never prospered. It is not strange that while youare doing that, Dale Graybill in jail has employed the same weapon and was exposed by the ministers andcongregations of both Bethel {The House of God}-Trinidad and G.C.C. CT., New England, U.S.A., which willappear on Bethel website. You are treading on dangerous grounds my brother. All who used this weaponagainst me and this ministry have fulfilled Hebrews 6:4-6 and Hebrews 10:26. I exhort you to repent. Turn fromthis evil work, turn from Jayaram, turn from your hatred, your malice, your jealousy, your bitterness, your prideand ambition.Because of the truth that I preach, the exposition of heretics and their defenseless situations, some, forthe past 30 years, have employed this carnal weapon of war, II Corinthians 10:4-5, accusing me of claiming tobe the son of man, Christ, a prophet or 8th messenger. I have denounced such lies for the past 30 years, asuntrue, false, and heretical and a lie of Satan. To ensure that there be no misunderstanding amongst E.O.D.H.believers, I made a public declaration, which is listed in E.O.D.H. book 16, page 302; of this you are wellaware, since in former times you brought this same accusation against Ronald Watson to my attention, and thematter was settled after I investigated the issue from Watson and others and concluded that it was a matter ofsaying certain things differently on Watson's part and understanding certain things differently on your part.That issue was settled. However, you brought up this matter again. The proof of what I am now saying is mypublication of the following article, denouncing such claims as heresy, be it me or any man around the world.EXPOSITION OF SON OF MAN HERESY{QUOTE E.O.D.H. BOOK 16 PAGE 302 – AUGUST 2007}“Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. It has become necessary for me to send out thisadvisory to like-faith believers and ministers. This is not to discipline you as individuals. A very sensitive issuehas come to my knowledge. Enemies of the cross and E.O.D.H. are accusing me of claiming to be the son ofman or of having the son of man ministry and also that I am a prophet and 8th messenger.Please do me the favor of opposing any person who tries to propagate this heresy. I realize that this isthe devil at work to bring up a bad name against the ministry of E.O.D.H. and kill its influence. I have neverpropagated this error which says that “I am the son of Man” or I have the son of man ministry because it iswrong. In all my preaching and writings, I have not indicated, preached, or established that heresy but on thecontrary have denied any kind of ministry, being very conscious of fanaticism, which exist around the world. Ihave tried to shun any kind of indication that identifies me with such fanaticism. I corrected ministers throughthe years who indicated any such calling to me. Thus there are no groups or individuals that I know whobelieve such a heresy.I declare positively and affirmatively that I have never claimed the ministry of a prophet, son of manor Christ as such claims are wrong. I have only claimed over the past 40 years that I am a preacher ofCXCII
righteousness and am awaiting the placing of sons of God which is adoption by the last outpouring of the HolySpirit which will reveal to the sons of God what office they each hold in the body. I trust that this advisory willbe of help to like-faith believers in stopping the work of the enemy. May the Lord bless you.”Why have you brought up this diabolical accusation after so long a time, being fully aware of mydenial of that heresy? It is to vent your hate. You are a liar! You are yet lost. Repent! Jayaram formulated asimilar heresy. I have the proof by his own letters. I denounced it as antichrist. He later claimed to be Gabriel.You hid Jayaram’s heresies and blamed Watson and Brith, your enemies. To foster unity I let Watson addressyou and further re-emphasize the fact that he does not believe that heresy and that it was a matter of youmisunderstanding his statement. Several of your witnesses denied your accusations and said that you yourselfformulated a heresy about the son of man. You have no revelation.Brith’s letter – Quote Asserwathan: “... You said in your preaching that the son of man was once inBrother W.M.B., then he jumped into an air force man, and now He is in the safari man.”You claim to be born again, following the son of man and Melchisedec, Christ only, since late 2008.Why? Because you dropped your false conceptions, blamed it on Watson, and now think that you are followingMelchisedec. That very statement exposed you as an associate of Jayaram’s cult. The name of his church is“Melchisedec”, and he claims to be following only Melchisedec and the son of man. Impossible!You both are anointed by the same spirit. You are following one of the two hundred million demonsfrom the Euphrates. Turn loose of that spirit of antichrist, brother. Have pity on your family, your church, yourministers and your very soul.I challenge your revelation of Christ, your birth and your ministry. Do you claim to have the keys tothe Kingdom? What is the revelation of the son of man in relation to Luke 17: 30? Where is His location?Where is He that is born King of the Jews? Have you seen His star in the east? Have you seen it standing overHis house? Answer me thou foolish man! You cannot, because you are not born again nor have a revelation ofthe son of man. Here is further proof:I John 3:15 <Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternallife abiding in him.>Your bosom is full of hate, jealousy and murder towards Watson, Brith and other ministers, thereforeneither you nor Jayaram are born again or have eternal life. You are both lost and have no right behind thepulpit. All should know these things that they be not deceived.Here is Watson's denial of such accusations, and also your commendation of his ministry. I have alsoforwarded your last letter of accusation to him and he will answer you shortly.Quote: “This is absolutely wrong my brother. I never projected that shepherd is the son of man or he isChrist. All that I believe is he is my shepherd, one who preached to me the revelation. In all my preaching Inever said one single word that Brother Bruce is the son of man, or he is Melchisedec, or God in flesh. If youhave such strong evidence I request that you send it to shepherd Dalton Bruce.If you really heard me saying such statements, why don’t you send the Tapes or voice recordedstatements I made, which is the evident proof, and I asked you repeatedly to do so, but you failed up to now.And you can bring many of your witnesses who have those evidences, let them prove where and when and whatkind of statement I made by the letters or by the speeches. So far none of them has contacted me and said thosethings. Most of your witnesses whose names you mentioned are having good communication with me, and theynever made a single accusation against me up to, but they are so sorry that you mentioned their names in yourletter to prove your accusations.I again write here that all your allegations are baseless and untrue. Will you please send me whatteaching I brought in those churches in 2008 Feb? I already read your letters against my preaching. If it was soCXCIII
then why did Royappan appreciate my message? You appreciated me in the past. I have one of your letters ofappreciations and your confidence in my preaching, sent to Shepherd Dalton Bruce on 06 August 200711:49AM.”Brother Asserwathan, I have heard for the past 42 years many who arose boasting of the same, withouta divine revelation. They boasted about following only Christ and not a man. That is impossible. Those samepeople, including ministers, were void of the spirit, had no revelation, were not born again by the Word, butwere buried in Pentecostalism under the message. Book 19: “Self and Satanic delusions”, documented theseheretics, heresies, false christs, false prophets, eighth messengers, insane men etc. etc. You and Jayaram arethe most recent examples of such pride, self and ambition and have fallen into the same delusion.You have a terrible hangover from Pentecostalism (E.O.D.H. book 16). You were not delivered fromthat organizational seed, which was watered by E. Frank’s heresies. Please respond to this letter within seven(7) days. You have the freedom to defend your cause. If you refuse, be it known to you that E.O.D.H. mustcontinue in its endeavor for the deliverance of souls.Repent or Perish! May the Lord bless you with eyesalve that you may see your spiritual condition andrepent!	Your servant for Christ sake, Dalton Bruce.”Now, you see brethren how these spirits move. Is this a good lesson to you, that a man could sit and hear all of that and let self and pride reign in his life? [Congregation says, “Amen!”]This is the last and final letter after seven days are passed. Nobody responded. They cannot respond to those letters. If you are so great and you are so big, tell me what is the revelation of the son of man. Tell me how to be born again. Have you seen His star in the east? Have you seen the pillar of fire settling over his house? Have you confessed the son of man? Where is His location? You can’t tell me that.ASSERWATHAN AND JAYARAM’S HERESIES“Dear Brother Asserwathan, international evangelist, as you prefer to be addressed, and Brother Jayaram, Christian greetings to you, your family and the church.Asserwathan, you, like your chief associate Brother Jayaram, who prefer to be addressed as Gabriel the archangel have refused to answer my letter of exhortation and challenge to your ministry and your association with Jayaram’s cult and heresies. Korah, Abiram and Dathan said to Moses, “We are not coming; you have made yourself a Lord over us”. They all perished. I further warn you of your attitude of self, pride and ambition and rebellion to the truth.You and Jayaram have not replied to my letter and questions because you are exposed and confounded by the scriptures, you cannot answer my questions. How to be born again and what is the revealing of the son of man. This proves that you are not born again and cannot tell anyone how to be born again. I further challenge you and Jayaram to answer my questions. You have deceived those ministers and saints, including your families. You will cause them to miss the token and the rapture and go through the tribulation.Your pride, jealousy, hatred and malice have led you astray and may cost you your souls. Repent. You are not a Bible New Testament leader or you could not follow Jayaram’s heresy. Show me one example of such error by any true servant of God. Jayaram, you are not Gabriel. You made yourself a fool.Seeing that you both have refused to repent after my letter of admonishment to you, I declare you to be ministers who have betrayed the love of the truth to follow heresy, thus fulfilling your pride and ambition, ministers without a revelation, ministers who are not born again, ministers who do not know Christ, the son of man by revelation.Therefore you do not represent the truth of the message expressed by E.O.D.H. You do not represent the first martyr Robert Lambert and his inspiration of the token, the final outpouring of the Holy Spirit toCXCIV
rapture the church (Church Age pg 377-380). Your boast, that you are now following the ministry of Bro. Lambert is a lie, a further deception to God’s people. You never saw, heard nor understood his ministry. You do not understand his revelation of the token.Therefore you are trying to make him your platform, but follow Frank’s and Jayaram’s heresies. You have told the greatest lie which Satan invented against me thirty years ago, that I believe that I am the son of man Christ and that Watson preached me as such. God cut off many souls for telling the same lie. It’s blasphemy. You know that it is not so. If you wanted to follow Jayaram’s heresy you should do so, without telling a lie. You stand in a terrible place even like Jayaram.You are both henceforth dismissed from our Word-based fellowship. I forbid you from entering any of our pulpits worldwide, since you now preach heresies, based upon Ewald Frank’s and Gan’s heresies. It’s Pentecostalism to the core. It’s Satanic and from the pit of Hell.This declaration and denouncement of you and your heresies will be sent to all like-faith churches and ministers. Where and when necessary, it will accompany the letters of Pastor R. Watson and Minister S. Brith.Our previous correspondence on this subject will be included. I trust by God’s grace that you will repent before you fulfil Hebrews 6:4-6, Proverbs 29:1. Beware friends, you have already started this terrible predicament.Warning: To all like faith ministers and saints, beware of the heresies of Asserwathan and Jayaram, as they will eat you like a cancer. Peace be unto you.II Timothy 1:15, 17 <This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus.>II Timothy 3:13-14 <But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them.>I Timothy 1:19-20 <Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.>”“PROPHET MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL”Here is another character whot arose and was moving about the same time that these spirits were moving upon Asserwathan and Jayaram. It will again prove and verify the fact of how stubborn these spirits are, and how stubborn people could be, that after hearing such message that caused many to pinch their consciences, they could cast aside all that the Lord spoke to us and still believe that they are prophets and christ and such like.I Corinthians 10:20 <But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.>This is a true account of a young man from this country who became demon possessed and claimed a prophetic and angelic ministry, and eventually ended up in the insane institution. Desiring deliverance, having found himself in such predicament in his ignorance, not knowing truth, the Lord in His mercy led him to Bethel, prior to these meetings on “Self And Satanic Delusions, where after pouring out his heart and being totally obedient to my counsel, and by repeating a simple prayer, he was totally delivered from those demons, by God’s grace.CXCV
He was baptized in Christian baptism, his mind was renewed, he became totally transformed and began following the Word of God and E.O.D.H., full of zeal and bubbling over with joy and peace, thanking God for his mighty deliverance.It is sad to say, however, that after some time, the unclean spirit returned, and he of his own, free will, opened up his heart and accepted it, and resumed his communication and fellowship with that devil. He left the House of God to follow that spirit, has returned to his vomit, and his latter state is now worse than his former.While at Bethel, he testified of his delusions and deliverance. His testimony and those of eyewitnesses are as follows:Having grown up in a heathen home, he accepted the Lord Jesus, went seeking God in several days of fasting, contacted a demon and became demon possessed. While conducting that fast, he heard a noise like a thunder and a heat came over his whole body. He started to cold-sweat and could not cool down. Whole night he was just burning up. He would later accept this experience as being of God and accepted that spirit he contacted to be an angel of God.He had dreams and spiritual experiences. In one dream, he was called Michael. He eventually believed that he was an apostle, a prophet and Michael the archangel in human flesh.Those demons spoke to him in voices of men and women, and even appeared to him in human forms. He soon grew his hair long and kept a short beard. He studied the Bible night and day and was seen walking around with his Bible, wherever he went. He also went about evangelizing and preaching to people his revelations. On his job he began to witness strange things to his co-workers, saying that he was a prophet and a warrior and that they needed deliverance. Eventually he was dismissed from his job.He stayed at home for a while. He lost his desire to work and lead a normal life. Many days he would stand at the front of his home just staring at the people passing by for hours. There were times he used to pace the road in front of his house for hours. He looked haunted, far away and sad. Some villagers would laugh and mock at his condition, saying that he was mad and fit for St. Ann’s Medical Hospital (the insane institution).A few days before he went into the insane asylum, he had a few out of the body experiences, which is known as astral travelling. The demon began bringing immoral dreams and sexual sensations, wanting him to do certain wrong things. One day, when he was about to do someone grievous and fatal bodily harm, he was caught by his parents, who held him and took him to the hospital, because he was getting pains in his chest. He began running to and fro in the hospital building because the spirit was talking to him, and they held him and took him to the insane asylum. While in the asylum his neck was bending very badly and he could not straighten it. He finally fell asleep and in the morning his neck straightened out. He remained there for the next two weeks.When he came out of the institution he decided to shy away from that demon. It began to pressure him, instil fear in him and torment him: squeezing him with its fingers, bringing on pains on his chest and feet. The pains got so bad that he did not know what to do. Sometimes he used to wake up in the night and it would tell him all kinds of lies to scare him. He could not sleep well, was really overwhelmed, and confessed that he really needed some relief. The demonic torments became unbearable, and he accepted a previous invitation by a relative, to visit Bethel.When he first visited, I did not immediately interview him but waited on the Lord and reports from one of the ministers concerning his willingness to obey instructions for his deliverance. I granted him a personal interview. I spoke to him to catch his spirit, motives and objectives. I discerned that the young man’s purpose was right, but he was deceived of the devil. I told him that he must not hold back anything and he immediately poured out his heart to me and confided in me things that he was hiding from the other minister. I knew that if the young man continued to come to service and be sincere, he would be delivered. It is not my policy to lay hands suddenly upon any man, as God could allow a spirit to come upon a man to chastise him, like Saul, and if a minister tries to remove it he could get into trouble.Quote W.M.B.: E-48 ... If an evil spirit... If there's unconfessed sin or something, or some out of the will of God, you could anoint them all night long, and cry, and scream and do all you wish to, that demon will stayCXCVI
right there. That's right. He has a right to. Well, that's what you have to watch. God has put a curse on somebody for something, then you come along and take it off, you get in trouble like Moses did. That's right. (Deep Calleth To Deep 54-0624).DELIVERANCE BY THE WORDTherefore, as a rule, I do not lay hands upon the demon possessed until I have fully investigated the matter. However, hundreds were delivered by another method, which is; repentance and sitting in church and in the presence of the Lord and the preached Word. However, on rare occasions I prayed for such persons privately at the office, after one or two visits.Having perceived the sincerity of the young man, on one of our meetings I became moved in the Spirit and had the faith that this boy could be delivered because he recognized all his experiences as being of Satan and desired deliverance, and moreso to continue to serve the Lord. Being passionately moved, I asked the young man to repeat a sinner’s prayer and accept the Lord as his saviour and denounce those spirits, and prayed for him. There was a noticeable change that came over him.He said that when I prayed that prayer he felt like weights of boulders had moved off from his shoulders and felt the whole of his inside just arose. He continued serving the Lord, with peace and much joy.After testifying privately and publicly from the pulpit about his delusion and deliverance, at some point he again yielded to that demon and began missing services. The demon convinced him that the presence of the Lord began to die down at Bethel, and that he has the presence of the Lord at home with him; which was that demon that spoke to him, impersonating the presence of the Lord as with Ahab’s four hundred prophets. The demon told him not to go back to Bethel and to stay away from some of the brethren. He disfellowshipped himself and feared that if he came back to the church, that false, imitation presence of the Lord would leave him.He claimed to be like David in the back parts of the desert, and had a great desire to study the prophet’s message. He denied that he was ever demon possessed and that he went insane. When told that he admitted such on his testimony, and that his testimony was recorded, he admitted that he went insane, and the demon told him that it was not a good idea to have recorded his testimony.He was told by a brother that that spirit is a demon and he would again end up in the insane asylum if he does not let go of it. He said that he would not end up in the mad house and later called back to say that the brother had blasphemed the Holy Ghost by calling that spirit a devil. He also said that I, his pastor, have blasphemed the Holy Ghost many times. He has fully accepted that spirit to be the Spirit of the Lord.He regrew his hear, has gone back on the sports field, and his countenance has again changed to the way he looked when he first came to Bethel. He loved the fellowship of devils more than that of the Lord. He no longer holds a job, and his father testified that he is reserved and that he would have to be gradually phased back into society. This further proves and confirms my point that these spirits are spirits of insanity, and there are very few persons whom I have ever seen stayed delivered from such ambitious spirits. May the Lord grant him mercy and repentance, and help him to denounce such, self, pride, ambition and satanic delusion is my prayer.SUMMARY“Self And Satanic Delusions: Pride, Ambition & Demon Possession – Bethel & G.C.C. Experiences” was preached and written that all may examine their innermost motives and objectives, especially when they profess to be Christians, message believers and ministers. The prophet spoke of stumbles along the road, and inCXCVII
particular about ministers scrap heaps. I hope and trust that this work may influence some in a positive manner to endeavour not to suffer such disappointments.SCRAP HEAPS OF MINISTERSQuote W.M.B.: 23-2 ... We find those things happening. You know it. I know it. We see these stumbles along the road. We find the scrap heaps of ministers, of Christians, piled along the road. Is because they didn't go into it right. (The Stature Of A Perfect Man 62-1014m).Scriptural examples and moreover living examples employed in this work express, in part, what the elect; those who are determined to inherit eternal life, must experience, the injustice they must suffer and persecutions which they must endure at the hands of the children of the evil one. Such experiences express how genuine make-believers can appear to be, and suddenly, like a viper, bite without enchantment:Ecclesiastes 10:11 <Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment...>Also, how the elect should stand for the Word, though they be out-numbered, is clearly expressed. Likewise their fortitude, courage, stamina and determination.SATAN WILL SHOOT THAT GUY WITH SOME POISON STUFF – THROUGH THE CHURCHQuote W.M.B.: 80 Love one another, above everything. Love one another... No matter what the devil tries to say! Now you're all one great big sweet group now, but remember my warning, see, Satan won't let that stay that way. No, sir. He'll shoot everything, if he has to bring somebody in to make his target. He'll bring some critic or unbeliever in, and sit him down, and cause him to fellowship with you under the quietness and things, and then he'll shoot that guy with some kind of a poison stuff, and he'll start through the church with it. Don't you take sides with it. Don't you have nothing to do with anything else. You stay right loving and sweet and kind to one another. Pray for that man, that he'll be saved too, or that woman, or ever who it is, just pray for them. And stick one with another.And stay with your pastor. See, he's the shepherd, and you give him respects. He'll lead you through, and, 'cause he's ordained of God to do so.Now do you remember that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] The enemy will come. And when he does, just cling that much closer together. And the one that the devil is using for an enemy will either get out or come in and be one of you. That's all.Don't never clan among one, or talk and make yourself clannish. We are one. I couldn't say, "Left hand, I'm mad at you, I'm going to take you away 'cause you're not a right hand." He's my left hand. I want him to stay there. Even the little tip of my finger, I want to stay right there, every little part of my body stay right there. And God wants us, as a body of believers, to stay right exactly with one another, right at with one another. (Christ Is The Mystery Of God Revealed 63-0728).“Self And Satanic Delusions: E.O.D.H. book 19” magnified the battles between the two seeds, which were represented in Cain and Abel. The exhortation of the apostle Paul taught us why heresies must arise in the church of Christ. Simply that the elect who are approved of God can be made manifest. In other words they can be vindicated and identified:I Corinthians 11:17-19 <Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest amongyou.>The publication of book 19 is not to indicate that believers have reached to perfection, or are immune to divisions, false prophets, heresies and backslidings of saints and even ministers. There will always be threeCXCVIII
kinds of believers until the church reaches to perfection by the promised outpouring of the Holy Ghost, which brings an Ananias and Sapphira showdown.THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL SPEAK OUT LIKE IT DID IN ANANIAS & SAPPHIRAQuote W.M.B.: 60 You know, the hour will soon arise when right among us will be... the Holy Spirit will speak out like It did in Ananias and Sapphira. Remember, see, that hour is arriving. See? And we are... Now, you just remember that, see, that God is going to dwell among His people. That's what He wants to do now. (Communion 65-1212).Quote: 205 The church is supposed to be predestinated unto the adoption of children... ..."Every fellow take his place." Then you're going to see the church of God begin to get its place. ...When the church begins to get into its mighty power, when they have an Ananias and Sapphira, fewof them. Yes, sir. You'll see when that holy church stands together in its power, positionally placed as sons of God, adopted into the family of God, powerful church standing there in its glory. Oh, that's what He's coming for. (ADOPTION.2 60-0518).Quote: 240 ... If a real church was ordained of God, really filled with the Holy Spirit, if sin would appear in the church, it'd be another like Ananias and Sapphira... That's gifts of the Spirit in the church. O God, send us a church like that; send us one like that. You believe it? Christ, is He dead? He's alive. (Perseverance 62-0218).UNITED MINISTRYThis I say, by the grace of God, giving Him the glory, praise and honour; the ministers of Bethel, sister churches of Trinidad and the Caribbean, South America and Grace Covenant Church of USA are united in purpose, hope and doctrine. We look for the promised outpouring of the Spirit to rapture the Bride. Ministers preach the same things without contradiction, disunity, competition, jealousy, pride and other works of the flesh. We had no doctrinal divisions since 1976. What does the future holds? Only God knows the heart of each individual.We have successfully prevailed over the forces of Satan and false prophets who arose in wholesale proportions with their damnable heresies to destroy the church. Nevertheless, we had carnal individuals who went out from amongst us because they were not of us. In God we trust.I John 2:18 <Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.>II Timothy 2:17-21 <And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.>CXCIX
E.O.D.H.’s POSITIVE IMPACTE.O.D.H. publications proceed from a united ministry anointed by the Spirit in a measure unknown and not experienced by many around the message, along with the ministers of Malachi 4:5-6, exposing heresies and proclaiming God's promise of another outpouring of the Spirit for the final quickening for the rapture (Ch. Ages, Ref. 277-280).For the past ten years it has created a positive impact upon the spiritual lives of many around the world. Ministers and saints were delivered by the mighty hand of God, through humble repentance and denouncement of their heresies, especially based upon the seven thunders cult.The truth impacted negatively upon the minds of many who are deceived by heresies based upon the false thunders. Men of renown arose to fight and were put down in shameful defeat. This is evident by articles on Bethel’s website and E.O.D.H. books 1-19 and tapes. The truth still marches on, by God’s grace.It is imperative that message believers who received the revelation of the prophet’s message, represented in E.O.D.H., prove their loyalty to God and His Word. The elect are saved and the rest go to their ordained destination. This is Bible pattern and the way of truth, from the beginning. God separated the light from the darkness. In the end time He is doing the same today.After the preaching of John the Baptist, the son of man, Jesus the Christ, established the truth. He said, many are called but few are chosen. Among the preachers whom He ordained, many left Him and walked with Him no more. Among the apostles there was a struggle for power. Judas made his way right up to the supper table. Today we must have more supper table Judases.WE GOT NOW THE JUDATARIAN GROUP, WHICH IS FAR MORE TREACHEROUSQuote W.M.B.: 103 Now, remember, there's church carnal back there under the Esau, the Pharisees and Sadducees. But watch this guy who thinks himself just a... He'll go along with the Message for a while, but he just don't want to put his hands too much on it. See them spirits? Jesus said, "It'll be so close to the real thing, it'll deceive the very elected," ..."if it was possible." But it ain't possible. See, it'll deceive.Now watch, not just the carnal church, the one out there, the regular routine carnal church, the Esau group. We got now the Judatarian group, which is far more treacherous, far more treacherous, coming right up into the very hands of the blessing. Just like in Hebrews 6 and 10, how he said, "Having once made partakers, and has tasted the powers of the world to come, and has done all these things... and then if they have received the knowledge of the truth, and then if they willfully turn away" ("willfully," what is that?) "counting the Blood of the covenant, wherewith they were sanctified, an unholy thing." (Hearing Recognizing Acting On The Word Of God 60-0221).DIVISIONS FOLLOW AMBITIONWherever the truth is established a Judatarian group must arise. If not, it is not the truth. These ambitious, self-willed men and lovers of themselves, must be present for God’s elect to be made manifest. Divisions do follow because of that ambitious group.PEOPLE TAKE THOSE HERESIES AND SCATTER THE PEOPLEQuote: E-11	And I do believe, let me say this while it's on my mind. I do believe that an organization has played a good part. For there's many times, brethren, as bad as we hate to think it, there's been things that crop up among us and things like that, that's been heresies. And people will just take those heresies and scatter the people any way. And a group of brothers get together that's--... What I mean is going out like they did in theCC
early days and all kinds of stuff. And we have it all yet today (See?), just still a moving. And a people that can bring themselves together... (And Thy Seed Shall Possess The Gate Of His Enemy 62-0121m).The apostles experienced the same in their ministry and wrote many epistles to address the problem, expose false teachers and heresies. They also addressed prevailing unscriptural disorders. The divisions were brewing up at Corinth. The apostle Paul exposed that party spirit which arose and rebuked them.I Corinthians 1:12-13 <Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?>I Corinthians 3:3-4 <For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?>I Corinthians 1:10-11 <Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.>Contentions and divisions were taking place at a message assembly of which St. John had the oversight. When this came to the knowledge of John, he took the matter into his hands and wrote to his faithful son in the gospel, Gaius.He told what the problems were. Pride, ambition and self love were the centre of such division. The preacher, Diotrephes, made himself a Lord over God’s heritage.Satan turned him against John the apostle and other ministers, insomuch that he cast out those from the church who would receive them. He wanted independence from John, who exposed him and commended a humble minister in that assembly called Demetrius.John further promised to come personally and remember the deeds of Diotrephes for prating against him with malicious words.III John 1:9-12 <I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth the out of the church.Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, and we also bear record; and ye know that our record is true.>We must beware of this soul devouring danger. We thank God for the gathering of the saints, internationally. He has truly drawn us together, by His grace, the Word and the Spirit, which are represented in the message and E.O.D.H. We look for the promised outpouring of the Holy Spirit and revival of the Bride to translate us for the rapture (Seals page 257, Church Ages pages 377-380).I feel duty bound to remind all ministers and saints of this great doctrine of our Lord: “Many are called but few are chosen.” Let us walk humbly before the Lord, putting away pride, self and arrogance, lest after preaching the gospel you be a castaway.I Corinthians 9:27 <But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.>While we all anxiously await the next outpouring of the Spirit, we must be prepared to receive it. This was emphasized on E.O.D.H. book 14.We, as ministers, can only prepare God’s people for the final quickening, if we have a revelation of the Word. Divisions are because of lack of revelation.CCI
BY LACK OF THIS REVELATION IS WHY WE HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENT DIVISIONSQuote W.M.B.: 303 God is known by simplicity and of revelation of Jesus Christ to the most illiterate person. See? Not your theology. It's a revelation of Jesus Christ. "Upon this rock I'll build My Church." No other rocks accepted, no other things accepted, no other Roman rock, no other Protestant rock, no other school, no other nothing, but on exactly the revelation of Jesus Christ through the new Birth. He borns in there, and He injects His Own Life, and your life is gone. And the Life of Christ is projecting Itself through you, with the preeminences, to the people; that they see the very Life, and works, and signs, and wonders, that He did, is doing the same thing through you. Outside of that, the rest of it's not even called to, at all. Watch God's great revelation unfolding!By lack of this revelation is why we have so many different divisions among us, and so much mockery. So much division among us, is because the people lack that revelation. See, they lack that revelation, the teachers. (Christ Is The Mystery Of God Revealed 63-0728).Acts 20:28-32 <Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one nightand day with tears. And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up,and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.>Apostle Paul instructed Timothy how to curb divisions by giving instructions on how to deal with elders who misbehave in their local assemblies, which were under his jurisdiction, having these negative, devouring cancers of self, ambition, pride and desiring to have the pre-eminence.GOD’S PROGRAM TO DISCIPLINE ELDERSApostle Paul said to Timothy, overseer of many churches and ministers: I Timothy 5:19-20 <Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.>The apostle was teaching the overseer and minister how to handle accusations against a minister under his ministry. That instruction became Bible standard for Christian churches.Some have taken the first portion of the scripture: <Against an elder receive not an accusation...>, and have ignored the rest of the verse which permits the minister to do so by two or three witnesses.The scripture is not forbidding a minister from receiving an accusation against an elder (deacon or minister), but is permitting him to do so by a scriptural order. Such accusation must be confirmed by at least two witnesses.In addition, Paul commanded Timothy to rebuke openly the elder who commits sin. I Timothy 5:20 <Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.> An elder in authority has a scriptural right to intervene in matters between ministers or saints toprevent divisions, heresies and loss of souls.Quote W.M.B.: 283 The only thing that I do, just is owning the property. And if something another comes by, that it's like moving the pastor, and they want to take a vote on that, you couldn't ask a deacon to do that. You'd come ask me. I'd come down, say, "If you want to move the pastor, tell me why. Has he done anything?"CCII
"Yes. We caught him, drunk. Or, we caught him doing this, or doing something wasn't right." "Have you got three witness of it?" "Yes. We have." Them witness must first be tried. "Don't receive an accusation against an elder 'less it be by two or threewitness, and let them first be proved; against an elder." Then you have to swear to it, that you saw it; and prove it, that you saw it.And then, if you did, then that sin is rebuked openly, that, "It's wrong." Then say, "Congregation, do you want to change your pastor?"And if the congregation votes, "Forgive him, and let him go on yet," that's the way it has to stand. See? That, isn't that fair enough the way to run a church? That's what the Bible said. We have no bishops and overseers, and boards and so forth, moves this one in and got a lot of authority. There's nobody got authority here but the Holy Ghost. That's right. He does the moving. And we take Him as the majority of the people, the way the people go.And then if one side wants to do this, and the other side wants to do that, and the side wins. The losing side, what do they do about it? Join right in with the rest of them, say, "We were wrong, then. We'll go right on, 'cause the Holy Ghost has made that choice." See? That's exactly right. (Hebrews Chapter Seven 2 57-0922).JESUS AND PAUL OPENLY REBUKED PETERGalatians 2:11-15 < But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles.>Matthew 16:23 <But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.>Jellyfish message believers and ministers oppose E.O.D.H., writing nasty letters when heretics are rebuked, after many admonitions. Their compromising, hypocritical and deceptive natures are manifest. They creep back into their holes when challenged to defend the heretics and their heresies. They are deceived by the “love gospel” which is gathering all organisations into the World Council of Churches and Rome; a cage of unclean birds.It is alarming to understand the mentality of such cowards, lovers of themselves more than God and His Word. Such do not represent our Saviour nor the rugged Elijah of our day, who demonstrated fortitude, stamina, boldness and courage in reproving heresies and heretics. He was not in love with self but fulfilled Matthew 5:11-12 <Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.>Such men do not represent W. M. Branham nor his message. The nature of his message was expressed in Revelation 3: 14-22; a message of rebuke.Revelation 3:16-19 <So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:CCIII
... As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.>I wish to remind all message believers, and especially E.O.D.H. ministers, and all critics and opposers of the truth, who seek to find fault to degrade the ministers of E.O.D.H. and the publication itself, of my declaration concerning all ministers who embraced the truth of the message, in the pass, or those who would do so in the future. The following was declared and made public on our website in August 2007, and we yet stand by the same principles concerning ministers who embrace this truth and preach it.Declaration taken from Chapter 14 of E.O.D.H. book 16: “Pentecostalism Under The Message Versus The Joshua Generation”, published in August 2007:“APPOINTMENT BY APOSTOLIC PATTERN & PURPOSE OF E.O.D.HBrother Malama is an example of what I am going to say here. He must be free from all domination, by ministers at Bethel or myself, and must be led of the Spirit and the Word. That is apostolic pattern. Not because we recognize you and appoint you today, does that mean that you are under our domination. One thing must dominate you and that is the Spirit of God and the Word of God. But we will continue to have fellowship in the Spirit, and the Word of God. Yes. Our contact and our joining together are Word based, not organizational based, nor heretical based. That is why we afford you that liberty to be free in the Spirit and be led of the Spirit.He is not financially obligated to Bethel or E.O.D.H. publication. Organizational system is that when they anoint a man, send him out and ordain him over a church, he must send back sixty percent of the tithes and offerings to the mother church. That is Pentecostalism, and that originated from the Catholic Church. Bethel does not function like that, neither does E.O.D.H. The local elder is over the money in his own church, and he accounts to God and spends it how he wants. No treasurer nor trustee is over the money, and neither of them can direct the spending of the money. The pastor of the local church directs the spending of the money, always.Bethel and E.O.D.H. owe no salary or other support to any minister who embraces E.O.D.H. Let that be established worldwide.Brother Malama, with all other ministers around the world who support the truth of E.O.D.H., owe no accountability to Bethel the House of God, its ministers, or E.O.D.H., for the work of the ministry. Yet, I believe that if a man has the right spirit, and he has the Word of God, then we will fellowship around that Word of God. There will be a communication. There will be love existing. Yes. And that is apostolic standard. No man must be overruled by the Nicolaitan system. And that is what we do not have here, a Nicolaitan system, because we hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which God hates. (Revelation 2: 6).All ministers must bear their own reproach if they fail to live and preach the Gospel message of the Lord Jesus Christ. Bethel or E.O.D.H. is not accountable. If a minister falls, he goes back into the world, lives contrary, and preaches contrary, Bethel will not be held accountable, nor E.O.D.H. for that individual’s failure. But we are persuaded better things of Brother Malama, for I have known him for the past five years through communicating with him. Once I heard, but now I see.No resignation from E.O.D.H. is necessary in such circumstances, because E.O.D.H. is not something to join. It is not an organization. We do not have a role book, or such. So there is nothing to resign from. Anytime you resign from E.O.D.H. you resign from the Word of God, and you resign from the message of the hour. Anytime a man falls, lives contrary and preaches contrary, he resigns from God.”The above insertion explains concerning those who gladly embraced E.O.D.H. and then fell away. For example: Asserwathan and company, Jayaram, Mr. Parham and many others included in this work. Their exposition is evident of the above declaration.CCIV
I conclude with this scripture:Hebrews 12:7-8 <If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?Amen!But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.>Please direct all comments and questions to:Bethel (The House of God) Calcutta Road No. 2, Post Box 238, Freeport, Trinidad.
