Every Man’s Right In His Own Eyes 31 December 2002 pm Shekinah Glory Tabernacle

Pastor Malcolm Wano Opening Prayer:

Nothing compares with the promise I have in you…Hallelujah, thank you Jesus. Worthy Lord! Praise Your Mighty Name Lord Jesus. Lord God we sing it and Your Word declares it Lord, there’s nothing that can compare oh God, to the promises You’ve given us in the Word Lord. Father Lord it’s Your Word that has set our boundaries Lord. It’s Your Word that has unfolded to us our inheritance Father. It’s Your Word Lord that is our comfort, is our guide. It is Your Holy Spirit, oh God, within the Bride, oh God, that is our leader. That dove that would lead the eagle, oh God, in the evening time in these closing stages oh God. That dove that would lead us through these secret passages to take us oh God, from the Queen’s chamber up into the Kings chamber, oh God…going into those last parts, of this great unfolding, the manifestation oh God, of the Word of this day. Father, Lord the things that we’ve waited for Lord God they’re right here at our grasp, but yet Lord they’re just still beyond the veil.

They’re beyond the veil, oh God between the natural and supernatural: Between humanity and deity, between Shittim and Gilgal, Lord, between the Church Ages and the Seventh Seal revelation. Father, Lord allow us by Your grace, to go beyond the veil tonight. To be able to lay aside our thinking, to be able to lay aside our reasonings and our imaginations Lord. To be able to catch, oh God, the thoughts of God, the foreknowledge of God, to Lord, have Your wisdom and understanding to rightly divide the Word: To be able to celebrate, Oh God, the ushering out of a year, and the ushering in oh God, of a new year. To bring us into a place, oh God, of a determination to serve You, to strengthen our hands for war. Hallelujah! Knowing Lord God, that this is no tea party! This is no little walk in a flowery bed of ease. But Lord, rugged sons and daughters of the King, hallelujah! Not hot bed plants, Lord! But ones oh God have been through the experimental experiences, been through the school of hard knocks! Father Lord we’ve been thru the schools of knee-ology. Not so much theology Lord, but knee-ology. Because Lord we’ve been through some valleys. Praise Your Name!

2

Those valleys Oh God have cultivated characteristics and attributes of the victories, of walking in the vision of the Word. But Lord you’ve also given us some mountain top experiences too. Father Lord you’ve allowed us oh God to display our fruit in the valley, raising up on the mountain tops, oh God, to shout Your wonderful Name. To sing praises and glory to Your Omnipotence, Your Omniscient, and Your Omnipresence; displaying, oh God, an Omega Bride. Hallelujah! An Omega Bride oh God, these end times. That is not hindered by circumstances, but is learnt the lessons of the Word, to be able to master every circumstance that we face oh God: Father Lord, just beyond the veil. Lord right within our own grasp, oh God, the fullness of the manifestations of the prophecies of the prophet, some of the prophecies, Lord we know have been made flesh in our lives. Some of these prophecies Lord about to be made flesh, Father, Lord we are looking forward to the body change. Hallelujah! The fullness of our redemption, we’re looking forward to be rid of these ‘pest-houses,’ Lord! Hallelujah!

We can hear our theophany calling Lord! Glory! We’re looking forward to a body that is incorruptible to change, oh God, from this mortal to immortality. Hallelujah! Gracious God, now help us, Lord God, I pray to enter into, coming out of, oh God! 2002, to enter into 2003! We want to do this oh God, with vision, with revelation, with a greater understanding of who we are, with all the circumstances of 2002 behind! Hallelujah! And the vision of the Word before us, Lord! Oh God! No new years resolutions Lord, just victory, just the Word, if we could say just the Word, Lord! A privileged people we are. Father, Lord, there maybe a few of us gathered here tonight Lord! Lord, some might be scattered throughout the country on holiday. But praise Your Name Lord! We have assembled tonight for such a time as this. Hallelujah! I believe it was foreordained Lord! Father, Lord who should be in our midst? Hallelujah, I believe it was foreordained oh God, who would be sitting in the pews, who would be Lord, ministering the Word, from behind the sacred desk. Hallelujah! That stirs my heart Lord to know that we are in Your programme. We are in the time, oh God that you have complete control, in the time and season oh God: Where the moon shall shine as the sun. Hallelujah! Glory!

We’re looking forward to oh God, looking forward to Lord, the days that lay ahead. Father Lord, Lord we don’t want to magnify so much what the enemy is doing, we want to magnify what You’re doing Lord. Glory! We want to see the colours of the enemy on the horizon, Lord! Sure we do! We want to know how to prepare ourselves, oh God, what weapons of warfare

3

to bring. Whether to bring our feasts of Tabernacles attire, whether to come Lord God, to a burnt offering or whether to gather together for war! Let the Gospel Trumpet sound, oh God! Just like the two silver trumpets sounded, oh God as the children were going from Egypt into Canaan land. Let the Gospel trumpet sound tonight Lord! Give us ears to hear what Your Spirit is saying, oh God to the church Eyes to see, oh God, under this Eagle anointing long-range vision Lord. Hallelujah, and if there’s any old Eagles, oh God, that maybe their eyes have filmed over a little, I’m thankful Lord the promise of the Word says that, ‘the Eagle shall renew its strength’ oh God, Hallelujah! I think of Lord, John down in the dungeon, no place for an Eagle to be Lord, caged up under manmade programmes. Father Lord, his eyes got all filmed up. But Lord what a promise You’ve given us, a restoration. Hallelujah! A renewing of strength! I’m trusting Lord that we’ll enter into this new year oh God, with the film taken off, with eye salve that we might see, what we might see in the future events, Lord, modern events that have been made clear by vindicated prophecy.

Praise Your Name Father! Lord: Creating Lord God by the spoken Word, so Your Word can come forth. We commit ourselves into your hands Lord! Hallelujah! Thankful Lord, to be able to receive our satisfying portion and asking all these things, with praise and worship upon our hearts in the wonderful Blessed Name, that Name that is above all names, Lord, the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ! Amen and amen. Thank you Jesus! Hallelujah! Glory! (Clapping, congregation worshipping) Praise God. I feel good and I haven’t even started preaching yet! I tell you brethren. Glory! Maybe just a few of us here tonight, but praise God anyway. Amen! (Clapping and laughing)…That little Sunday rest that I had this Sunday gone my! I tell you! I’m chomping at the bit to get behind the pulpit, to deliver the message. Amen. The Word of the Lord, amen! Praise His Wonderful Name! Just have your seat for a little second; I just got a couple of things I want to bring past you. Musicians you can have your seats, thanks. Right we’ll be moving quickly now, I trust you’ve been looking at the scriptures cause if you can follow the patterns from Judges chapter 17 through to 21, you can understand the kind of circumstances that we’ll be facing in this day. Right? You’ll be able to understand that the main theme from that portion on was, ‘Every Man was Right in His own Eyes’ and there was no King in the land. When you know those parts it gives us junction points, it gives us a junction of time, it shows us what time frame that these things were taking place,

4

and that there’s no new thing under the sun. Then we can be also able to see the colours of the enemy on the horizon, how he will approach, how he will try to attack and how he will try to move. How he will try to bind up the gifts. That’s what we want to look at, the kind of tactics that he will use. So that when it comes we know how to prepare ourselves. Its not like we’re stumbling into something blindly, we’re going by what we see in the Word. Praise the Lord! I had some good time of fellowship with Brother Rudolph down in Lower Hutt. Mighty fine time in the Word, and it was timely Right on time. Nice fellowship and I think it would be of a benefit, which I believe we’ll probably see it made manifest within a month. You know it’s just like old, you know Elijah! Got a little bit of a shake up, when the Lord comes down to him and says, what doest thou here Elijah Here’s old Elijah, under his juniper tree for too long, man. Let’s get to the Word! Man is it 10 to 8 already? [Whistles] Never mind! Judges chapter 17 lets stand to our feet, I want to read from Judges 17:1 There was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah. And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou cursedst, and spakest of also in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, blessed be thou of the Lord, my son.

I tell you this is crazy talk to a believer, isn’t it? The mother had eleven hundred shekels of silver stolen from her. She curses the person that stole it. Right? And then he heard it, gets convicted, and comes back to restore it to her. Behold the silver was with me, I took it, so he admits to pinching it, and then the mother says Blessed be thou of the Lord, my son Now watch! She’s trying to break the power of the curse, watch how she tries to do it.

When he had restored, the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated the silver. What is silver? It is the colour of redemption I had wholly dedicated the silver unto the Lord from my hand for my son;

In other words this silver was actually dedicated to you, son! So you pinched it, you gave it back to me but now its been dedicated to you, so I’m giving it back to you. What to do? To make a graven image and a molten image, now therefore I will restore it unto thee. Yet he restored the money unto his mother, he gave it back to her and his mother took two hundred shekels of silver and gave them to the

5

founder, who made thereof a graven image and a molten image and they were in the house of Micah. And the man Micah, had a house [or a shrine] of gods and made an ephod and teraphim, [these are shrine idols,] and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest. A man in his own kingdom: Building up his own religion to justify his own actions. In those days there was no King in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes

May the Lord bless the reading of His Word; you can have your seats.

I’ll title this message, ‘Every Man Is Right In His Own Eyes’

Now I’m looking at these events that have transpired. But I’m reminding you also that this was after, the eyes had been taken out of Samson. Is that right? Now remember also, Judges Chapter 16; was Samson doing great exploits within his that were to fulfil, but still he was doing those things that were right in his eyes. Remember how he was using the gift to get himself out of trouble. He was using the gift; to, you know, to do his own mischief. Isn’t that right? Tie firebrands onto fox’s tails to light up the corn of the Philistines. Get in arguments over riddles, so he can kill some. Remember, he was going into a prostitute, and then, they shut up the gates of Gaza. But Samson’s gift was still operating. Right? His gift was still operating even though he was weak in the flesh. Isn’t that right? His gift operated because he went out, from that prostitute’s house, and he lifted up those massive gates of Gaza and threw them down the hill, because they thought they could cage him in. And it was about that time that the lords of the Philistines who had studied his actions, who had found out the secret, found out his weaknesses. Right? The enemy looked at him and knew that his weakness was women. His weakness was Delilah! Is that right? So now he’s using Samson’s weakness, to find out the secret of where his strength lieth. Is that right? I tell you the devil is doing the same thing today! Let me read the scripture, Judges 16:4 And it came to pass afterward that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah. You know Delilah means Feeble. And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her because that’s his weakness. They’re using Samson’s weakness

6

to unfold his Nazarite vow. Following me? The lords of the Philistines came up unto her and said,

Entice him and see wherein his strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him.

So what’s their purpose? They’re using weakness, to find out where his strength lieth, to bind up the gift. Notice, she is also given a money proposition, And we will give thee, every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver. So she is the tool, used by the influences of society, to bind the gift to find out where the secret of his strength lays.

You know where the secret of our strength lays, brethren? In the Word, The secret of where our strength lay is in our prayer time. Amen? Is in our Bible readings, personally when the revelation is made real to you personally. Yes sir. What was it that the…Babylonians were trying to restrict in the life of Daniel? His prayer life! Is that right? They actually changed the rules, changed the laws, so that Daniel couldn’t pray, morning, afternoon and evening. They only had to pray a certain way to a certain god. They knew Daniel’s habits. They knew that he prayed continuously, and that was his strength. That’s our strength. We need to move by the Word brethren. We can’t move by feelings. We can’t move by emotions. We can’t move by temperament or personality. We’ve got to move by the Word, that’s our guidepost. Not just any word, the revealed Word. Amen! The Word for this day! Hallelujah! Not just ‘God sent a prophet.’ Brethren that are beyond the veil that’s the other side of the veil. That’s the human side of the veil, that’s the church age side of the veil. We want to go beyond the veil, where the Word is fresh. Hallelujah! Have fresh manna falling from heaven (congregation praising God). Glory to God! Never goes stale, it’s always stimulation by a revelation. Glory! It never gets you gloomy, it always lifts you up, and it always allows you to see beyond the circumstances. Hallelujah!

Daniel, did he buckle under this Babylonian decree? I tell you! He got out that morning, same as usual and began to pray, amen. He wasn’t gonna let that over time suss him out, get him wrong, he wasn’t gonna let the sun go

7

down on his wrath, take away his prayer time Amen! He wasn’t gonna let feeling a little bit confused about what brother did or what sister did, rob him of his prayer time about his time of consecration and dedication to the Lord. Hallelujah! Brethren morning, afternoon, evening he was waiting on God. That’s something that brethren don’t do enough of, is waiting on God. I mean we want to get up and do it, and do it now! But look what was happening here aye? Well finally this weakness got old Samson. And because that weakness was bugging him daily, you read the scripture for yourself… It came to pass, (in verse 16) when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death. That he told her his heart, and said unto her, there hath not come a razor upon mine head, for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother’s womb. If I were shaven, then my strength will go from me and I shall become weak, and be like any other man. I tell you what, Brethren, without our 7th seal revelation, we are like any other denomination. Without the unfolding of these mystery truths, we’d be just like any other denomination. Without having heard, the 7th Angel sounding, there’d be nothing to open the book. We’d be guessing at what the Word is saying. We’d be trying to fathom it out; we’d be like any other old commentary theologian. But praise God! We don’t have to go through that nonsense. It’s not what we have done; it’s what He has already done. Amen? Glory! What takes place? Samson’s eyes are put out, can’t do nothing about it. His weakness has overcome him. Now different people have got different weaknesses, do you know that? But I tell you what? You know what your weakness is. Don’t you? None of us, I don’t believe any of us is without a weakness. As long as you are in this flesh you’ll make mistakes. Brother Branham called this ‘a sticky nature’ and it will be with you until the body change. As long as we’re in this flesh, we’ll make mistakes. Well that devil is working on your weakness.

Now you think about your individual weakness. I mean the Word already identifies those things to you, ah? You know it for yourself, I don’t have to magnify that, You know it. Praise the Lord! His eyes were taken out, and that’s probably the first thing that happens, is the loss of vision, and you know when we let the old enemy come in, let down the bars, the Prophet said, ’the sheep get out and the goats get in’

8

All sorts of things start happening, but one will go to the next, to the next. And start doing things that ain’t right. I think one of the first things you notice is that you got to tell a lie, to cover up the wrong. That comes with it, and then next things come with it, and all sorts of stuff come. And you get yourself entangled, bound up, because that’s how Samson found himself in that position. He was bound, chained! The gift bound up. Did God panic? Not one little iota. He knew also the weakness of His servant. He knew His Son was going to have to go through a breech, before He could get into the fullness of the 3rd pull. Amen! He had to get to a place where all of His own abilities could not liberate Him. He had to get to a place of a Gethsemane. Remember Gethsemane is the crucifixion of the spirit man. At Gethsemane, what does the Lord do? He wrestles with Spirit realm, He wrestles with Himself, and He overcomes His own will Amen! But you imagine Samson he was feeling so…he had let the people down. He had let the believers down; the Lord had given him a great gift to be a deliverer. He had let them down. And he begins to cry out, ‘just once more, Lord!’ Hallelujah! ‘Just once more, Lord!’ The Lord even allows him to be guided to the pillars, by a young boy. He’s in the right place and position now. He’s crying out, ‘just once more, and what does he feel. He feels a resurge, of the Holy Ghost!

I’ll drop this in too; it was in the evening time, that he was feeling the resurge. It was in the time of the evening sacrifice that he was feeling the resurge. Hallelujah! As the Prophet said, ‘I’ll ride this trail again’ A resurge of the spirit, to do what, so he could do the greater works. Yes! All of the things that he had done previous, couldn’t compare to what he did, after with that resurge of the spirit as he felt that 7th seal revelation come upon him. Hallelujah! Brethren the others didn’t see it moving. They didn’t see the resurge on Samson. They didn’t see the tears come from the socket-less eyes. They didn’t see his dedication and consecration to God nor the renewing of his marriage vows. Hallelujah! But he got desperate brethren, and when he cries out, the resurge was upon him and he did the greater works. Well, who’s called to do the greater works in this day? And I tell you what; it’s from brokenness, that the greater works are being fulfilled. Hallelujah! Why? Because character is a victory! And victories are what are being wrought, when we go down into the strongholds of the enemy. And with the Word, we break the strongholds. That’s why he takes us down into them, in the first place. Too many times

9

believers push the panic button, instead of unfolding the vision, or meditating upon the vision of the Word. Upon what is being coming forth from the pulpit? That’s all you need to do, is stay in the Word, stay with the Word. It’ll take care of every situation, brethren! I tell you our God he equips us with what is necessary, to walk in the light. That’s why David could say, ‘though he was walking through the shadows of death, he said, I shall fear no evil. That’s exactly the way I felt, being interrogated by fifteen Vietnamese at one time. Praise God! Though they try to bring an atmosphere, though they try to dampen the whole situation, though they try and mess up my mind, hallelujah! Though I walk though the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil. I’m a believer! So what right has circumstance got to try and cage me up? Try and bind up the gift How can it brethren? How can it, when I’ve already read, Hebrews chapter 11, the faith chapter. Not only read it, lived it. Hallelujah! Brethren, that’s thunders to the devil, a life that’s lived behind the veil. Not so worried about circumstances. People rush around like chooks with their heads cut off. Thinking that we haven’t got a suss on every situation that arises. You sisters got an inclination for that. Don’t you know God, is in full control? Hallelujah. Don’t let me lose you sisters just cause I make a comment like that. In the book of Exodus, I will set your boundaries; they shall be from the Red Sea over to this boundary, over to this boundary, this boundary. He was giving Israel their inheritance, He gets down to Joshua chapter 14 and then he begins to allocate in Deuteronomy, sorry, He was allocating areas for the tribes. He gets to Joshua chapter 14 he’s allocating inheritance by lot, to the individuals. He was positionally placing them according to their blessings. According to the blessings of Jacob and Moses and the Hebrew mothers, crying out in their birth pains positionally are placing them in the promise land. But Joshua was the one that was gifted to divide the land for inheritance. Joshua and who Eleazar the priest. The one with the Urim Thummin: Sussing out the land according to their characteristics. That’s how Jacob blessed them, according to their character, right? What kind of Land they would have, because they had within them, what was necessary, to take that portion of land. Hallelujah! Zebulon had in him what was necessary, to take that coastal area, as did Naphatali sightly different from Zebulon, sightly different boundaries But still able to take it. Simeon and those guys were rugged,

10

cruel, and right? Read your Bibles you Bible readers. You know the character of the man you know the character of the land. Rugged land. Well I don’t expect smooth land the Lord didn’t make me smooth. The Lord made me a “cold face” Christian. What do you mean cold face? I’m like David, not one of these little pretty boys. Whoa! What about David? Well! Saul has killed his hundreds David his thousands. I don’t mind getting into some arguments with the devil. Brethren when it comes time for a little bit of ‘laying on of hands’ like Nehemiah That’s what he did. He could be an ambassador, but he could also lay hands when it was necessary. He could pluck off beards. Is that right? He could give some a little clip on the ear, when it was needed, Pastor Nehemiah! See what I’m talking about here brethren, it’s those things that were there in the Old Testament, are being made manifest in the New Testament.

But they had come up to a place where these ones within their tribes… Were they right in there own eyes? So every church has got a certain way they want to do things. But the way has already been set in the Word! It’s called Conduct, Order and Doctrine. Hallelujah! It’s called church order. But see this fellow we’re talking about, during the time that the greater works is being fulfilled, he’s making his own idols…Not only making his own idols, but, making his own Priesthood: Promoting his son who’s from Ephraim, who ain’t from the tribe of Levi to be his Priest. Every man was right in his own eyes. What am I saying? Hey! It’s sometimes a reflection of what takes place today. My! And during the time of the Judges that’s what was taking place. Every man is right in his own eyes. I’m saying these things brethren, because every time you get away from the Word, you are right in your own eyes. Then you’re like Eve, she had to get away from the Word, before she could be seduced, by the subtlety of the serpent. She actually had to come out from behind the Word. You know what she did? She didn’t listen to the lesson that Adam had received from the Lord, and given to her. She didn’t listen to that. She got sucked in. My! Let’s go a little bit further. Turn with me to Samuel. You like that Samuel chapter 8? I tell you! Samuel was of course the last judge, right? Before the ushering in of a King, and I took those first portions to show you, that in the time of the Judges, every man was right in his own eyes.

11

But when we get down to 1 Samuel chapter 8, just before this judge is ready to leave the scene, see we’re breaking this down into our patterns, breaking this down into our types here.

Came to pass when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel. And I showed you by a quote, that Brother Branham made Joseph a Judge.

Thirsting For Life Somehow when I was in our church many of you

sprinkled them in for baptism that’s right we tried to follow the Bible. Jesus picked up little children and blessed them, we dedicated them. And in dedication of the little boy at the altar, somehow I was inspired to say Joseph thou art God’s prophet. And maybe when I leave, I pray that a double portion of the spirit will come upon Joseph, for the age to come if there is one.’

You think the prophet didn’t make his son a judge. By what was being said there? I tell you many around the world think and more than a judge. Many actually think that he is God incarnate. Many bow down and worship him. I know this from personal experience. Many call him, Lord Joseph, but let’s follow the scripture,

Now the name of his first son born was, Joel and the name of his second Abiah. They were judges in Beersheba And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes and perverted justice.

Think I don’t know what’s going on around the nations? Aye? What has it become? What has the message become? A corporate tool: a moneymaking proposition your message books, you have to pay for your message books now didn’t used to be that way. And now some are charging thousands of dollars for seed tape libraries. It’s become a 'corporatization'. I tell you something else brethren, there are MP3 wars; Spoken Word wars, all over what? Copyright. A copyright of the prophet’s message! What man can copyright the Word?

Did Paul ever put out a copyright on his letters to Corinthians, to Romans; to Ephesians to Galatians? You don’t see any copyright. He said, ‘freely he had received, freely he gave’ But now we see in the scripture, the sons of the prophet, getting caught up in bribes! Getting caught up after filthy lucre, walking not in the ways letters being sent out to brethren, that have translated this message; that have printed this message that have duplicated tapes and sent them out to the nations.

12

The people that needed them, letters going out to them, telling them they are now forbidden to do so because everybody has got to go through Joseph. I’m showing you it’s in the Word; I’m showing you why these things are happening. We’re finding the junctions in the scripture, why? Why does it say. Because his sons walked not in his ways but turned aside after lucre. Well brethren they’ve got to justify the seven million that has been spent to make the headquarters down in Jeffersonville. Seven million! You know what? I just raised one up in Vietnam for 100 U S dollars. Amen! Brethren down there are translating the message, ‘The Token.’ Brethren this is our message. This is the Brides message. This is not the son, the prophet’s son’s message. This message came from heavenly places. (Congregation: praising and worshiping the Lord!)

Brethren it was a Mighty Angel that came down. Hallelujah! Brethren this Mighty Angel, had a rainbow covenant over Him. Not a law suit covenant over Him, not a piece of paper, with a seal on it. This Mighty Angel who came down, had an open book in His hand, had a tittle deed. He opened up this book of redemption. (Lifting up his Bible) What to do? So we could see our name in the book, so we can be free, so we could have joy, just like John did. Because when John saw his name in the book, all of heaven, and all upon the earth, heard I, John, praise my God! Hallelujah! (Congregation praise God!) And now they’re trying to bind it up again? I feel strongly about this; I feel strong about it. But you know what I’ve got some back up in the Word. There’s no new thing under the sun. Glory to God! Sure. And of course Billy Paul is backing Joseph to the hilt. He writes out a book Joseph writes out a book, ‘Here I stand’ on what? Copyright, why doesn’t he write something about, ‘here I stand’ about these fellows who are worshipping him. Brother Branham said, that would take me off the field. He called it a ‘serpent’. He called it an antichrist spirit in fact. Is that right? Against the Word, he said ‘if you brethren keep doing that, I’ll have to come off the field.’ He was a man of his word. Now brethren in Norway that problem was rampant. When I was in Lithuania that problem was rampant. When I was in Russia it was rampant. When we were down in Holland, it was rampant. Brethren were talking about it. Books were being written about it. The elders were uniting around it. Come on and read your next verse. Read the next verse. Is it right? Aren’t we relaying modern events that have been made clear by vindicated prophecy? Aren’t we seeing what was unfolding in the Word, back then being unfolded now because there’s no new thing under the sun? Course we are! Verse 4;

13

Then all the Elders of Israel gathered themselves together and came to Samuel and to Ramah, and said unto him behold thou art old and thy sons walk not in thy ways, now make us a King to judge over us like all the nations.

Now look closely at this, ‘cause what we got is the elders of Israel uniting around the problems of the prophet’s sons. Is that right? They’re not uniting around the message of the prophet; they’re not uniting around the Word. They’re uniting around, the problems of the sons. They’re uniting around the purpose of filthy lucre. That’s what it is. Making money out of the message? When men of God hazard their lives for this message, they’re trying to use it to build up a name for themselves. Nobody can print a book or duplicate a tape or translate a message from say, for instance: from English to Burmese, Vietnam, Russian or Chinese without their say so? That’s what they’re trying to do. You know what else they’re trying to do? If somebody goes against what they say, they get into that church and encourage the people to leave their Pastors and listen to tapes. I’ve never told this fellowship these things, have I? Why? I don’t want you to get entangled in the nonsense that goes on around there. But I’m letting you know so you can see the accuracy of the scripture. I know these things by personal experience. Get out there and see brethren with shoebox loads of copyright information. Give me a seventh seal book don’t give me no copyright information. I already know there’s no copyright on this message. So why play around in that nonsense, just because somebody has gone to study the archives and study the copyright laws. Study whether, there wasn’t any copyright put on the message. Hey! Those things have already been taken to court. David Mamalis took them to court for that, and they didn’t beat him. I want to hear about somebody that studied the archives, all right? These archives (holds up message books), amen! I want to see fruit of the study of these archives, brethren. Hallelujah! You know where I’ll see the fruit: In the life. They’ll be living their revelation. They’ll not be worrying about these problems of the prophet’s sons; they’ll be watching the patterns unfolding in the Word. But that’s what I’m seeing, like scriptures say, I’m seeing elders, gathering around circumstances. You know what happened after they gathered around circumstances they began to promote man made programmes. You know what that man made programme was the raising up of a King. Because the next verse is now,

14

make us a king to judge us like all the nations. We want to be like all the nations. You know what the prophet said when he was talking about the nations as a type in Israel, he said it was like denominations. That’s what message believers are becoming, brethren! I’m afraid to say it brethren, but its becoming like that. They’re actually going back to denomination. When we’ve got a seventh seal revelation, they want to go back to denomination. They want to go back to organization.

Brethren I don’t want to go back there, the only thing I want to go back to is Eden. Hallelujah! Back to the original creation, back to a body without sin. Hallelujah! Back to a direct channel of inspiration, I want to go back to the faith! Hallelujah! Back to a faith civilization, Glory to God! Back to being able to walk down in that garden, Hallelujah!!! Brethren access was taken away in that garden, I’m talking about access being given back to us who are over-comers. The Bible said it, ‘he that overcometh will I grant to eat from the Tree of Life’. Glory to God! You eat from ‘that Tree’ brethren you will live forever. You know, what was guarding the way Cherubims, with swords drawn. Four faced creature Lion, Ox, Man and Eagle. Hallelujah! Now I have read in the book, that seven thunders uttered their voices. Listen! And then a Lion roared, amen? One of those four faced creatures said, come and see. Who to? The elected, because previously they’re guarding the way, but because the blood was shed, not the blood of bulls and goats, the blood of a kinsmen. The blood of a perfect sacrifice was shed. And now this four-faced creature is crying out, Come and See. Ushering us into the Word, Hallelujah! Well I tell you what, an Eagle anointing is saying to us as we look at 1Samuel chapter 8, Come and See! Modern events made clear by the Word. The raising up of a King; to raise up a king was a manmade programme. Hey we could stay on that man made programme for a little while. Amen! Man-made programme, Make us a king to judge us like all the other nations, but the thing displeased Samuel, When they said, give us a King to judge us, and Samuel prayed unto the Lord, look at what the Lord says. Lord said unto Samuel, Harken unto the voice of the people, and all that they say unto thee, for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not rein over them

What did they reject? The Word! They rejected the leadership of the Holy Ghost in the church, so they could have a King, like all the other nations to judge over them. Here was a prophet, the last judge before the King was

15

set up. Now look at it in this way. All the earthly Kings all come into one King. You know that? Earthly Kings I’m talking about. And he’s riding on a pale horse and his name is death. He’s made up of religious power, political power and demon power, with trade and economics under the black horse. Is that right? And it’s all lumped into the one colour the pale colour, and the rider of that horse’s name is death. But all of these Kings are coming into the same King. I tell you what! We’ve got Kings in the message too, being raised up: Because as I’m saying, ‘every man is right in his own eyes.’ It was the same back there. They had a prophet in the land, but they didn’t want to hear the words of a prophet, even though the prophet was getting a message direct from God. They wanted a King. And the prophet protested, against this manoeuvre against their man made programme. He said, he’ll take your sons, he’ll take your daughters, and this mystery Babylon will get a hold of your man servants and your maid’s servants. He’ll take your inheritance, he’ll take your land, he’ll take your oxen, he’ll take your cattle, and he’ll take your horticulture and your agriculture. Sure. In what: Taxes. To support his kingdom, but they said no, no, no, no, but we will have a King. So they gave them one. They chose according to their own eyes, cause every man is right in his own eyes. Is that right? They chose a Saul. Oh my! Well you say, brother how do we break that down into the day that we’re living in? Look at the colours of the enemy on the horizon. Isn’t it that same kind of tactics that devil would be using? See this was in the time, because I’m giving you junctions now! Of the last Judge, I believe the last Judge in this day, was Malachi chapter 4, Revelation chapter 10:7, Luke chapter 17:30, is that right? It was before the raising up of a King. See our junctions! But brethren are according to Revelations 3:20: my King is knocking on the door.

He said, behold I stand at the door and knock, if any man will open unto me, I will come in and sup with him

Amen? So we’re talking about a King knocking on the door. But brethren, He’s a rejected King, is that right? That’s what the prophet said in a message, ‘Why little Bethlehem, The rejected King’, and Jesus on the outside in the Laodicean Church Age knocking trying to get in.

if any man will open unto me but we got another junction there, because, Revelation 3:21, goes into,

16

he that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I overcame,

Right? So it’s between the time of rejection and His coming in power. Is that right? There are your junctions; time of His rejection and His coming in power. There was something going on, there was something taking place. Right? We’re looking at the same thing here. We’re looking at the rejection of the King, not a king, The King. The same King that the prophet said, that the sword fell into his hand. He said this is the sword of a King. The voice came back and said, ‘this is the sword of The King!’ Hallelujah! While the rejection of the King, the true King, their leader, their guide because of the problems of the two sons, to build up their man made programmes, to promote their own man made programmes. What man made programmes? I tell you what! They’re changing the face of missionary work, amongst message believers. They’re actually calling translation work, missionary work. Translation work, brethren is not missionary work. Translation work is just changing the message from English into the other languages. Handing out MP3’s is not missionary work! Handing out books is not missionary work. Paul was the foundation for missionary work. And Paul went from city to city preaching the gospel, not getting them hooked up to the internet, not getting them access to e-mails, teaching them about access to the real e-mail: Access to beyond the veil. Hallelujah! No Internet connection needed. Glory to God! Brethren when we talk about being hooked up, hallelujah! The Bride of Christ she’s hooked up! Glory! Somebody that’s hooked up doesn’t need to go through a Pastor. Amen! That Pastor is trying to preach himself out of a job, trying to get everybody hooked up, linked up to omnipotence: Linked up to omniscience. Glory to God! Hallelujah!

I love to expose the devil. He doesn’t like it, but I love it. Man made programmes, rejecting the King, to raise themselves up another king. I see these men made programmes out there brethren. I tell you! Its popularity games and its corporate warfare. Why? They want to do this because of what the prophet’s sons were doing: Knee jerk reaction. But there’s a prophet here, that’s trying to get them back to the Word. What does the Lord say, ‘let them carry on with their man made programmes,’ it’ll eventually come to a place where they got no Urim Thummin and no prophet in the land.

17

They’ve got to go back to a witch of Endor, to find out what the prophet has said. Right? What did brother Branham call the witch? He said, when that church of America, remember that preview of the Bride? And he said that American church I’m not against Americans brethren; we got some mighty fine believers from there. I’m just saying what the prophet was talking about here. He said he saw this American church she came around and she was moving to rock’n’roll beat. Is that right? And as she’s coming passed she’s half naked and then he said when she went past him she was naked on the backside. Right? It just about killed him, but he said, ‘That witch was Pentecost.’ Yes sir! Brother Branham said, is this all we produced? All this preaching fasting and praying, and waiting on God, is this all we can produce? But then he heard, amen, another sound! Glory to God! He heard a Bride coming past to the sound of, Onward Christian Soldiers! And then he saw the true banner. But what I’m saying is, that Saul was going back to organization, back to the witch, back to Pentecost, to try and find out what the prophet said! I don’t need organization to tell me what the prophet said, I need the Holy Ghost. I need the spirit of the living God in me. I need the interpreter in me. I need the teacher in me Hallelujah! I need the filter. Thinking man’s filter, holy man’s taste, Hallelujah! I need the adoption. I need baptism upon baptism. Hallelujah. I’m not saying I ain't got that, but we can’t have too much of it. I could never see how we could have too much of the Holy Ghost. Hallelujah! Rejecting of the King, raising up of another King, man made programmes. Break that down local brethren, because if you look out there in the nations, what are these fellows thinking? One brother, he sent me seven tapes, very well known elder in the message: About ‘Here I stand.’ Another brother sent me five books on, ‘Here I stand, and ‘Who is the thief,’ Titles such as this. All sorts brethren, I tell you! I say to myself, what these fellows want to send me this stuff for Giving me some clues so I can be up with the play. Maybe I should send them this tape when you break it down brethren you know what they’re doing. They’re actually looking with a natural eye and thinking we got to be doing something about this. They’re doing this; we’ll bust this thing down and build our own programme. We’ll break the influence of this, so that we can do this. But we’ll have to influence the people so they can come into our little deal. You know what they’re doing? They’re building broken cisterns. You know what broken cisterns need? They need water. They need a resource, not

18

like a fountain of living waters. Not like an artesian well. Brother Branham says, ‘an artesian bubbles up from within.’ Why is it bubbling? There’s something within. Not because of the burden, not because of a dare, not because Brother Branham is sitting beside an artesian. Because something within just can’t help itself, it just keeps bubbling out. But a broken cistern is a man made programme that needs water from another resource. So when they send out monthly issues you know a woman in her unclean state, has monthly issue too. Sure. And you know what comes out with the monthly issue, an envelope to put your offerings in, to support the resource, to build up the coffers because they’ve got to generate funds to be able to supply the need. There maybe people built up in that, which have become staff in this programme. And they’ve got to be paid. I tell you what? People send some of these conglomerates tithing. And tithing is for the ministry. And secretaries, paid through tithes? And fellas that are outside the Fivefold ministry, receiving tithes? And somebody’s stupid enough to give it to them. They don’t know the Word. They’re getting out from the boundaries of the Word. They’re supporting a man made programme. I’m only saying what’s in the scripture. Following these patterns, these are basics, getting away from some basics. Oh my! So what was it brethren? What was it that started this? I’ll tell you what, fellas that were right in their own eyes, looking at circumstance and then trying to fight fire with fire. Did anybody find the scripture for it? Did anybody find 1Samuel chapter 8? There are other scriptures. Did anybody catch the vision of what the devil was doing? I tell you. But it looked right: Just like it looked right for Ahab and Jehoshaphat. It looked right to go up and take that land because it was theirs. Is that right? It looked like it was the righteous thing to do. It looked like these were the boundaries in the Word. Come on I’m getting right close to home now! These are our boundaries these are our borders and all the prophets of Zedekiah said, Yeah got these horns together, yeah, go up, go up the Lord has given it into your hands. But isn’t there another one? Isn’t there another voice? Isn’t there another prophet in the land? There sure was, brethren. Who? Micaiah not Michael like we talked about Micaiah, that’s got a better ring to it. But I hate him, because he’s always saying bad things about us. Well let’s hear what he’s got to say anyway,’ they go down to him, man! Stick with the programme man! Stick with the Kaupapa! Look we’re all in one accord

19

we’re all united around this certain purpose. Say what we say!’ What does Micaiah say? ‘Hey get real! I’m only gonna say, what God puts in my heart to say!’

Wasn’t popular I tell you the message he was bringing. But it was the truth. He goes up there he says, I saw Israel scattered as sheep without a shepherd, Gets a slap on the ears from Zedekiah, which way went the spirit of God when it left me? Ahab says, throw him in the dungeon and give him the bread of affliction, and when I return I’ll deal with this guy. What’s Micaiah say? If you return at all I’m a false prophet. Is that right? It was against the popular throw brethren. It was against what all those elders had generated. What am I taking you into the New Year with? Don’t worry man I’m coming into the Evening Sacrifice soon. Hallelujah. You don’t mind me taking a little bit of time here, do you? I haven’t preached here for a couple of weeks. I don’t want to be a stranger in my own church! (Someone from congregation yells out) Party time’ that’s it Mal, hallelujah. The world is having their party out there. Right? We’re having our party right here! Hallelujah! Glory to God! I understand we’ve got a few of the brethren standing as security out there, and we’ve got a few of the brethren standing as security here too. We’ve got angels standing as security; angels encamped about those that love Him! Amen? Hallelujah! See, it looked right, but it was against the Word. That’s what I want to bring down to the church. It may look right, make sure it’s with the Word. That’s my encouragement to you Brethren! You know what we’re in? We’re in the stage of the development of those nine spiritual gifts and I say that development, amen. So there’s a right way, I’ve taught you that in the Word, there’s a right way to go. Is that right? In development stages doesn’t everything need to be judged? Is that what we’ve been taught in the Word, is that what the boundaries that are set in the Word? Let everything be judged. You know, what can happen is the promotion of man made programmes it looks right, it seems right, but when it gets out from behind the boundaries of the Word, it ain’t right! Because the promotion of man made programmes instead of the leadership of the Holy Spirit…and I’ll say these brethren, remember Brother Branham said that, ‘those nine spiritual gifts will be on display in every local church, just before the Rapture.’ Where are we at? We’re just before the Rapture, aren’t we? And we aren’t going to let no message Lutheran scare us away from our inheritance. Those gifts are our inheritance. The prophet says, they’re to keep the

20

church clean. Is that right? But what didn’t Pentecost have that we have? They didn’t have the Word. They didn’t have order. Remember when the prophet tried to put those gifts in order? Put them in the back room; there were all sorts of fuss kicked up. Trying to say he’s binding up the gift? Come on he was liberating the gift. He was getting rid of fanaticism. He was getting rid of feelings and emotions. He was getting rid of popularity games. Remember the woman that was preening herself? Every time Brother Branham was getting ready to end the service, she begins to comb back her hair, she wanted to look good, while this gift was going on display, and then she’d raise up. He’d watch her, combing back her hair, and all of these things. And all of sudden she’d stand up, you know. In the wrong time, not in order, not in the back room, and bring forth maybe tongues and interpretation, might have been prophecy. I can’t fully recall and she’d stuff up the healing line: Basically the atmosphere that he was building, because the spirit of the prophets is subject to the prophets. The atmosphere that he was building now, poof! Gone! And he’s got to build that up again. So remember the prophet watched it, he let it go a couple of times. He watched it, and she was getting ready again. Just about when she’s ready to stand up again he turns around and says, sister sit down. That put an end to that, amen. And then he gets bailed out after service, for stopping the moving of the Holy Spirit! Come on now. No gift is above the Word. Every gift has to be in line with the Word; in fact the gift will only be supportive to the Word. Maybe the gift is being used as two or three witnesses let every Word be established. Amen!

Brethren, we set the boundaries didn’t we? Didn’t you in your groups set the boundaries? The boundaries were in the Word. Remember I was moving you away from previous experiences? That was my instruction before I went to Vietnam. Move away from previous experience. I don’t want you to bring up pervious experiences, because we’ve not been this way before. I don’t want old Pentecostal influences. I want that anointing, amen! I want that anointing of fresh manna under the teaching of the Word to come and inspire and anoint. Put aside the old experiences. Prune off the branches so it will bring forth new fruit. Amen! Fruit for this time and season, see brethren, you know that’s why the Bible speaks about purging off old branches. I can’t just go along and say, well praise God, I’ve been to Russia, I’ve preached the message in Russia, praise God! Old branch, just because I’ve

21

been to Vietnam the other day, prunes off the branch. I ain’t sitting back and saying well look, what great feats were being wrought, and all these other stuff, old branch! It’s brought forth fruit now cut it off; otherwise we’ll be always going back to old experiences. Brethren, the Bride needs to bring forth new life, amen! So you just had a victory, praise God! Bring your testimony service, Praise God! Let everybody rejoice, prune the branch amen! Because otherwise we’ll become like that frog, always looking backward at what I did! Hey that’s an old chapter; I’m talking about a book of life. We enjoy it as we go through. Right? But what I look forward to is the next challenge. The next part that’s gonna be unfolded, the next part that’s going to be fulfilled. Hallelujah! Hey if we come through development stage we’re going to make mistakes. Well the mistakes are development of the gifts isn’t that right? We look at that mistake we learn from that mistake we move on. Is that right? Praise God!

You know I’m not going to dig a hole and say, jump in that hole now. Jump in that whole stay down there for a little while, and suffer. Hey, that ain’t me, I’m saying, you dug the hole, but here’s a gospel rope to pull you out. Here’s a way of escape. Is that right? Here’s the way of escape. Hallelujah. Now to use some of your inspiration and anointing, to raise up a little higher. Amen. Here’s the faith civilization, here’s the spiritual cord, here’s the life line, to get you from Hurricane Mountain. Amen! Back down to your loved one. Hallelujah! You don’t have to go around that Indian death walk. Here’s the hand of the Lord on your shoulder, tap, tap, you’re heading in the wrong direction. Don’t get sucked into man made programmes, made by you with your agenda. You know sometimes, people don’t know they’re playing politics, but they are! They can actually use different feelings to take them beyond the Word. Its politics in the church, I don’t play, and you want to play politics, play by yourself. That’s right! It’s like a person that plays squash; you play tennis when you got an opponent on the other side of the net, right? That’s tennis or table tennis, whatever you want to call it. But if you want to play by yourself well there’s a squash court out there too. It’s a wall and you just play patter, patter with yourself. Wear yourself down, but what a waste of energy. Amen. Change the game, man. Get back into the ballpark. Hallelujah, with the body. Every gift fitly joined together: Working for the harmony and unity of the body. Every gift is for the edification of the body. Stop playing with

22

yourself. Start moving in the Word. Amen brethren. Hallelujah! Praise God! Can you see what I’m talking about? If this was happening on an international scale, and you bring the same colours down on a national scale, down on a home base level, see what the devil tries to do. Pull you away from the Word. You’ve heard the Word: nothing supersedes the Word. You can dream a dream and if it doesn’t line with the Word, that’s all it is, a dream. You can see a vision, if it doesn’t line up with the Word, maybe too many chilli peppers, I wouldn’t get too worked up about it, see brethren. I tell you what brethren when I wait on my gift, when I wait on the Lord I wait sober. I divorce myself from all of my feelings. I divorce myself from circumstances, I don’t conjure up a message, because of your circumstance I divorce myself from all of that, and I wait neutral. And I feel the thoughts of God flooding in I think of a situation ah! He illuminates a certain part. Say for instance: for the finding of a scripture, He illuminates a certain part, hey! Problems of the prophet’s sons that’s in the Word somewhere! Search search, search, there it is there. And then you know what, you begin to see other things come but it’s all-sober.

This ain’t no pie in the sky stuff. This is not trying to conjure up something to make it look like something. This is sober, that’s how I wait on my gift. That’s how I wait on my ministry. Shouldn’t you wait on your ministry the same way? You know what else I do I line it up Word upon Word. I get my junctions, I get my types, and I get my scripture. I find out what the prophet says about it. You’ve got to do the same thing. What did I tell you last time I preached? I said if you want to come to me, come with your scripture, come with your quote, come with your boundaries in the Word, then come! Don’t come to me and say I feel this and I feel that. When I come to you, I don’t come to you like that. I come to you with the Word; I come to you with a surety of what I’m looking at. Shouldn’t you do the same thing? I don’t come to you asking you questions, I come to you giving you answers. Is that right? So shouldn’t we hone down these things? I know it will come to a place where it develops into that, I know that. So brethren if you got something, bring it to the judge! Let the thing be judged: Before it’s made public. Otherwise you’ll start all sorts of different things going on. Are you hearing me? I don’t want it to go public brethren. I want it to be judged and then give out to the people: If it has been discerned to be in the Word. I’ve got to find out if it’s within the boundaries; ‘cause if it’s not in the boundaries, that’s all it was. I mean brethren, say for instance, how many times would you have thought about something and felt

23

a certain thing and it never came to pass? Thought something was going to happen and nothing happened. Presumption was going to work, imagination was moving with presumption. Don’t call that a gift, that’s not a gift. And how many times though, has something been happening within and you let it go and it did happen? See that’s what I’m talking about, developing it, and getting the thing judged, in the back room and then bringing it into the front room. I’m laying that out brethren for future reference. Amen. I don’t want anybody to get disturbed; you know the Word reveals the colours of the enemy on the horizon in the church. The Word does! Every little thing, you probably didn’t see what was happening. Praise the Lord I say that as an encouragement, as a development process. Because remember now, these guys had to reject the Word, to instigate their programme. You can see a programme on the international scale. You can see the programme as in the different things that are building up around the problems of the Prophets sons. You can see that. Can you see the ones down close to home? If you’re honest with yourself you’ll be able to see something there because you’ve got to reject the Word to take the programme. And I’m bringing it to see, why they left the Word. Because it looked like it was the right thing to do. Every man was right in his own eyes. Is that right? We don’t want it to be that way do we? We want to stay with the Word. There’s our guide that’s our tie post. Amen? We don’t want to be uniting around corrupt business, the dealings of the sons of the prophet. We don’t want to be promoting man made programmes, 'corporatising' and selling of the message. We got to recognize the subtlety of the devil, subtlety of the enemy. How many still know he’s subtle, he’s cunning, he’s crafty. This is the most deceiving age that there is! Amen. Brethren we’ve got to recognize the time and season. That’s why I bring you junctions. You got to recognize as I was saying before, you know that the junctions for this day, we’ve already found a few of them in the Word. We’ve looked at a couple related to the falling of the towers. It’s a junction to show where we are.

Isaiah chapter 30:25-26 it was a time of great slaughter when the towers fell. But then what does it say after that? In that time brethren, that’s what’s happening in the world. But what’s happening with the Bride? The Bible says the moon shall shine as the sun! And that the sun shall be shinning, seven times brighter:

24

Is that right? That’s the Bride’s condition when these things are going on. So when the King is being rejected there is a people that are staying true to the Word. There are those that have come out of Babylon, that have come out of her my people, hallelujah! There are those that are mastering the circumstances by their prayers. Isn’t that right mastering their circumstances with their prayers? Praise God!

Brother Weibe! Happy New Year! I know you’ve got to catch your ferry. Happy New Year brother, trust the Lord will direct you and lead you for the season. I’m just giving you my salutation, because I’m going to give it to the brethren when I’m finished. Praise the Lord! (Brother Weibe says, ‘thank you brother’) Amen. Lord blesses you Sister Helen…. You know, I’m punching this home but I’m doing it for a purpose. Let’s be sober, let’s be vigilant. The enemy is going around like a roaring lion to devour whom he will. We want to be fortified in the Word. Hallelujah! You’re following me aye brethren? Same deceiving devil that has deceived the elders the Bible said, he didn’t say laity brethren. The scripture said, Elders! What kind of elders we’re talking about in this day; those elders are tied to Bishops: The elder of the church uniting around the problems of the prophet’s sons. Well if that’s so subtle how much chance is laity going to stand with the same attack if you don’t stand with the Word? I’m exhorting you to stay with the Word, stay with the scriptures, stay within the borders of your own groups conduct order and doctrine. Amen? Sure! We saw brethren, the enemy using weakness to bind up the gift, to cause it to work with static, I want to clear out the static, I don’t want static. I want clear. I want thus saith the Lord! I don’t want maybe, I don’t want wishbone. I want “thus saith the Lord, I want somebody who’s waited on their ministry enough to bring forth a prophecy of, ‘thus saith the Lord.’ Somebody that can stand up, after waiting on God, checking it out in the scripture, having the thing judged, to come forth with the boldness The boldness of the revelation of that part, of God, that he has placed within their lives. Then that’s not wish bone brethren, that’s backbone! Amen! We got to know the boundaries of our inheritance, where we’re standing in the scripture amen?

Have you read up Ezra chapter 9? Have you read up Revelations chapter 8? Come with me; just in closing now come with me to Revelations 8. I’ll cover some of these in the evening sacrifice, Verse 1 When he opened the seventh seal,

25

What’s the seventh seal? The coming of the Lord, but I’m not just confining it to a little portion here. The coming of the Lord involves lots of things. You can’t contain the seventh seal in just one phrase. The coming of the Lord! What is His coming? He does all three things as he comes down. He came in ’63. Is that right? But He’s coming, amen: To catch his little Bride away. I don’t think I’m living in the millennium, because I still get a headache every now and again I still got black hair changing to grey. There’s still mossies biting me. They should be eating nectar, like they did back in Eden. I definitely wouldn’t go into the lion’s den at feeding time. They say its millennium, well you know, I’d be very disappointed if I was them, I can see in the Word what my millennium rein will be like. Look, I can see that spiritually I’m in a golden age, just like it was in the days of Solomon. Right? Brother Branham called that golden age a ‘mini millennium.’ Well I’m in that! I’m in my feast of Tabernacles: Because the Word has been revealed, just like it showed us in the pattern of Nehemiah chapter 8. Is that right?

The Word has been read, and then the eyes of the people’s understandings are coming open. Amen! We’re being told not to weep and mourn like they were when they were coming in preparation for the feast of Tabernacles. They were to prepare and eat this feast with joy. They were actually told not to keep on moaning and mourning, on the bench, not to be singing them songs of sorrows. This wasn’t feast of Passover: this was feast of Tabernacles. Tabernacles were preparation for the changing of booths. Amen? They were living in booths. We’re living in a booth. But it’s in preparation for a changing of a body that’s why I can relate that’s why I can relate this back to a millennial age, but I’m waiting for my thousand year reign. Hallelujah! I couldn’t see why people get upset about that.

And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. And I saw the seven angels, which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar, which was before the throne. Brethren, this was evening sacrifice. Ezra chapter 9 was evening sacrifice; Isaiah chapter 56:3 was evening sacrifice. I’ve got a lot to say about that the next Sunday I get to preach here. Be down at brother Ray’s this Sunday

26

coming. But the following Sunday, my, I’ll be chomping on the bit to get back. Look at this! What was in this golden censer? It was the prayers of the Saints. But the Bible says the prayers of all saints. So the prayers that I’m offering up in this evening-time are going into a golden censer. That this seventh angel is pouring out upon the altar, and that becomes incense. Amen? That was to become a sweet smelling savour going into the presence of the Lord. I know then that the prayers will be answered.

That’s why brethren when you were at your prayer meeting, about 7.30 Friday night while I was being interrogated 2pm in Vietnam. And the prayers of the saints were in the golden censer: Being poured out upon the altar coming into the presence of God as a sweet smelling savour. Right then the atmosphere in the interrogation changed. Glory! And all of a sudden the interrogators, seven of them, are being won by the Word; I’m taking the liberty to preach from the book of Proverbs, for one hour to nine interrogators. Two did not receive it, but the other seven invite me to lunch: The interrogators inviting a Christian, Communists inviting a Christian to go to lunch with them. So who am I to refuse? I offered to buy the meal, they said, ‘no, no, no, no, we pay.’ Praise God! I don’t mind eating their food. Amen! They’re my hosts, winning them because of the book of Proverbs, showing them the importance of their people receiving these things to bring them in unity and harmony in love. Seven friends helped me. What was it? The prayers of all saints in the evening-time! Glory to God! Being poured out on the altar, it’s a time brethren, and season where our prayers and your prayers are being heard and answered. Things that you had prayed about, and were waiting for, praise God. In this evening-time sacrifice, brethren, look forward to the receiving of what you asked for. Amen! I saw it, I was in the midst of it; I was walking in the vision of your prayers. First time in the history of these Vietnamese interrogations, the local brethren go free, no fine! The invader goes free, no fine all equipment given back and most of all, my Bible, given back my books given back. I had the book the Supernatural given back; message book given back to me. Hey, those Philistines can’t keep hold of the Word. They can’t hold the Word, and then personal escort through customs, through the long queues waiting to get in the line: V.I.P service through to the front of the line, through the customs check and on to the plane, V.I.P

service: Because of the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which were before the throne.

Notice now there was no veil, in this portion of scripture because the veil was rent when, at Calvary, veil was rent in two, brethren. Is that right? And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand. Now look there’s a junction here too, because after the prayers of the saints have gone up before the throne. Look at this, And the angel took the censer, The same angel that had the prayers of all saints took the censer, And filled it with fire off the altar... now it’s got fire in it. And cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thundering, and lightnings and an earthquake.

Look at that! Were talking about here brethren, the battle of Armageddon, where the vials are being poured out Where the two prophets of Revelations chapter 11, are being fulfilled, their message to carry the Bride. You can tie that into Revelations chapter 15, it talks about a Laver. Right? There was no sea, but there was fire: In the Laver. And that fire was talking about the judgments, Holy Ghost fire no more sea. Brethren, that’s talking about a new earth. That’s talking about a fulfilment of the book of 2 Peter. Amen! It’s not talking about a total annihilation. It’s talking about a transformation so that those that have ridden over the tribulation can come down upon a new creation. Hallelujah! So after the prayers of the saints in the evening-time, sacrifices are being lifted up before the throne; are being answered by God. The very next element to go into the censer is fire. It’s poured out upon the earth.

Look at our junctions: Between the last judge and the raising up of a King. Amen? Man made programmes, between the rejection of the King and His coming in power, between the prayers of the saints and the fire in the censer, being poured out in the battle of Armageddon. What takes place? That little Bride is raptured away. Why? Because I find out in the Old Testament between the time of the rejection of the King and His coming in power, there was what? Mighty Gentiles! They were gathering around the King in the time of harvest, not a King the King. Wasn’t that right? Who were they gathering around? David A man after God’s own heart. Right? These are mighty Gentiles A Gentile Bride gathering around the King, with His Word the Sword of the King. The third pull ministry, oh I’m tired of tramping on this mountain. Amen? We’re heading over the Jordan, lo

28

before me I see a vision breaking, it’s the power that can bind the Mamba. Amen! The third pull ministry that’s what we’re looking forward to coming into. Because mighty Gentiles are catching the Kings desire in the harvest time, Hallelujah! What was that? A cool fresh drink from the wells at Bethlehem, is that right? A King that was sick and tired of stagnant water, sick and tired of broken cisterns. A King that desired to drink from wells, from living water because he that overcometh, he that believeth my Word, out from his belly, out from his inner most being shall flow rivers of living waters. Hallelujah! Amen! Glory to God! Out from your bellies, because you have overcome the world will flow ‘rivers of living water. You have overcome his temptations; you’ve overcome man made manipulations, Glory to God!

You have stayed in the confines of the Word, you have overcome, and out from your inner most being flows rivers of living waters. What is it? According to Revelation chapter 21 crystal clear waters were coming forth from the throne. Amen? Hallelujah! Mighty Gentiles catching the Kings desire in the harvest time, amen? Three mighty Gentiles united together, gifted brethren, fighting their way through 15 miles of Philistines to bring back a cool drink for their King. Amen. Glory to God! Who’s our King, I ain’t your king. Jesus is your King! Hallelujah! The Lord Jesus, the Word, He’s our King. Amen. And when he comes in power, you will sit with him in his throne! Le’s stand to our feet. Praise Your wonderful Name Lord. Glory to Your Name! Our gracious Father, the enemy tries to come Lord, tries to deceive, and tries to get us, oh God, dwelling on temporal thing. But Lord Your Word is a lamp unto our feet; Your Word is an ever-present help in a time of need. Gracious Father here we are, the Word being made flesh. We see Lord God by 1 Samuel chapter 8, what’s happening, but we’re taking heed Lord, to what the prophet has said. We don’t want to lose Lord God, our sons and our daughters, to this king. We don’t want to lose Lord God, our inheritance. We don’t want to lose the boundaries that have been established by the Word Because of mystery Babylon, because of this locust invasion. We want to Lord, stay with You all the way, 100% of the way Lord God! While we’re standing, we’re ushering in a new year, with a greater desire to Lord, press in Lord with the trail of the serpent being unfolded in the Word. To see his schemes, and that’s why he’s howling Lord, is because all of his schemes have been uncovered. His schemes that he tried to hatch on us, he tried to cause us to be deceived to follow after that nonsense.

But oh God! Your Word is a lamp unto our feet. Hallelujah! Father Lord, we come in dedication and consecration of our lives. We come, oh God yielding ourselves to our King. We lift up Your Name Lord, we magnify Your Name. Forgive us Lord, any man made programme, forgive us Lord, when we’ve gone to our own ways, our own thinking, we’ve moved in emotion, we’ve moved in feelings. Forgive us those things Lord! Block them out, oh God! Place them in the sea of Your forgetfulness, Lord so we can enter into 2003, with a clean slate. Lord having righteousness imputed to our account, because we believe Your Word: With the promise of living waters flowing from our inner most being. With the promise, that because we have overcome the world we will sit with You in Your throne. Hallelujah! Lord we dedicate our lives a fresh to Thee. Receive, oh God, the prayers of all the saints, before Your throne of mercy Lord. Father we would much rather have Your mercy than Your judgment! We praise You, we worship You, we thank you Lord! We dedicate our lives to You. Use us for your glory, Lord! Come into the gifts within the body. Manifest Yourself, Lord God in these nine spiritual gifts: in the helps, in the gifts of mercy, in the gifts of giving, in the word of wisdom, a word of knowledge, in discernment, in healings, in miracles In tongues, interpretation and prophecy. Make Yourself known oh God! Father Lord, the measure of the gift of faith that you’ve given every believer, they’re being made manifest. The measure of the gift of Christ that you’ve given every believer, make it manifest, oh God, in this New Year!

Father it wouldn’t disappoint me if this was the last year that we were coming into. I wouldn’t be disappointed Lord, I want to be ready to go home, Lord I got my Token in my hand, I want to hear those words, ‘well done true and faithful servant, come and inherit the glories of the Lord’ I want to be serving you, oh Lord, as a prisoner in 2003. Hallelujah, because I know Lord, after serving You, as a prisoner then there’s a crown that we must wear. Gracious Father, we commit ourselves unto You Lord God, and even Lord for the saints that are not here tonight, we think about them Lord, I don’t want to exclude them from the promise, Father! Include them in the promises Lord; give Your Bride strength throughout this country. Give them vision, revelation in Your Word, Lord; unite Your Bride globally by Your Word, Father. Let us not be uniting around circumstances, oh God, but the revealed Word Lord. I lift these things up to you asking these things in the Wonderful and

blessed Name that is above all names Lord, the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ Amen and Amen. Hallelujah! Thank you Jesus! Wanna sing with me ‘I’m tired of tramping on this mountain’ (congregation in a dimension of worship and praise)
