Teddy,
The False Christ And False Prophet
Teddy, the false Christ and false prophet
CHAPTER FIVE
Matthew 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 can be 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 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).
TEDDY THE FALSE CHRIST
And 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 got 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 TRINIDAD
The 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 the 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.
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 they 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.
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 MURDERED
That 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.
“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 DEATH
But 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, and 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 SUSPECT
Now, 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 man 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 WORD
I 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 have 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.
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 BRIDE
In 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. 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 HERESY
The 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.
REVELATION TO KILL
The 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 and 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 was the interpreter.
The pastor of Connecticut of the full gospel Christian Assembly was interpreted as being the head of the Scorpio. 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 life and 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.
Teddy, being “Christ”, had to have a spiritual bride to accomplish his ministry. Ken’s sister was asked to play out this role.
Those that were single had to remain single. It was forbidden for any believers to get married during that time.
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 Bruce was 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 he becomes the revelation.
Their excuses are that their mistakes are foreordained and predestinated, and they had to go through a certain process.
After they were deceived in three major deceptions, they never came back to the pastor of Bethel and said they were sorry.
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.
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.
