Pentecostalism - 100 Years

The Holy Ghost upon the Just and
on the Unjust

CHAPTER
6

<Therefore
leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection;
not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith
toward God,

Of the doctrine of
baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of
eternal judgment.

And this will we do,
if God permit.

For it is impossible
for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and
were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

And have tasted the
good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

If they shall fall
away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves
the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

For the earth which
drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for
them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:

But that which beareth
thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be
burned.> Hebrews 6:1-8.  Matthew
13:24-30.

Matthew 7:15-20 <Beware of false prophets, which
come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.>

Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather
grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but
a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can
a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn
down, and cast into the fire.

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.>

“Pentecostalism - One Hundred
Years: The Holy Ghost Upon the Just and on the Unjust.” We have painted a
picture of Pentecostalism bringing it right up from 1906 to the present time in
which we live, which 2006 is one hundred years of Pentecostalism. We combed the
history of the fathers of 1906, Pentecostalism, and then we traveled up to see
the men that followed them and we got a little bit again into the Pentecostal
history and brought it right up to a certain point of the fifties.

JUST AND UNJUST PARTAKERS OF THE
HOLY GHOST – CORRUPT FRUITS

But I want to emphasize the fact of the Holy Ghost
falling upon the just and on the unjust, and again tie the knot a little tighter
to show you that a man could have the Holy Ghost, which is commonly called
“the baptism of the Holy Ghost”, as it was outpoured in 1906 and
not be qualified for the rapture. We will continue to call that the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The
prophet called it “the baptism of the Holy Spirit” and he said that
the people were receiving it. I would say that there are hundreds or even
thousands of quotations where we could prove that the prophet of God said that
the people had the baptism of the Holy Ghost. We are not denying that in the
least. They did have it. The Scripture bears record in the book of Hebrews and
it will profit you if I just call your attention to the fourth to the eighth
verses to let you know that the Bible is also verifying the things that you
have heard for the past nights. Jesus was speaking of a man who blasphemes his
way to hell and onto the burning by fire.

Hebrews
6:4-6 <For it is impossible
for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and
were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

And have
tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

If they
shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to
themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.>

(The apostle Paul now gives you a type).

Hebrews 6:7-8 <For the earth which drinketh in the
rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it
is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:

But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected,
and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.>

So the simple parable that
He is drawing here is to show that people, both the just and the unjust, can be
partakers of the Holy Ghost, and one is saved and the other is lost.
Right in our Bibles, right here.

So now the man that is
cursed like Judas, was a partaker of the Holy Ghost and he tasted of the
heavenly gift. They did not get the heavenly gift but they tasted of the
heavenly gift. They were enlightened by the Word, and they were made partakers
of the Holy Ghost. After they tasted of the heavenly gift and were made
partakers of the Holy Spirit, they fell away and it is impossible to renew them
again unto repentance. Seeing that he crucified the Son of God afresh and put
him to an open shame.

Is the Scripture verifying
here, that a man who would be lost and go to hell to be burnt, could have the
Holy Ghost, tasted of the heavenly gift also and be enlightened with the Word
of God? [Congregation says,
“Amen!”] Yes, tasted of the heavenly gift and were made
partakers of the Holy Ghost.

All right, an example of
that; Judas was enlightened by the Word of God, he was a partaker of the
heavenly gift, and he was a partaker of the Holy Ghost. He had tasted of the
good Word of God and the powers of the world to come.

So now, this man that
blasphemed his way, Judas, came from hell and went back to hell and it was a
total impossibility to renew him again unto repentance, because he was unjust
in his spirit. That means he did not have a teachable spirit, he did not have a
spirit that wanted the Word, he was not based upon eternal life, but he was
based upon money. His desires were not eternal life, no. His desires were pride
and self-exaltation. His desire and ambition were to be greater than our Lord.
As a result of that, he was full of hate, he was full of malice and he was full
of murder, which he manifested, and he was sitting side by side in the open
field with Peter, James and John.

So right under our
Lord’s ministry there were two kinds of trees growing: one that
was going to bring forth fruits for the dresser, and was going to receive a
blessing. And then there was another kind of tree growing that was going to
bring forth corrupt fruits, and when they brought that corrupt fruit, they were
going to be cursed.

Our Lord gave that parable
in the seventh chapter if Matthew that I just read here, and He spoke of those
trees. He was not just speaking of apple trees and mango trees. He was speaking
about people.

David said in Psalms 1:3 <And he shall be like a tree
planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his
season…>

That is what I am preaching
here to night: planted by the rivers of waters, and in due season we will bring
forth our fruits, our leaves shall not wither and whatsoever we do shall
prosper, but the ungodly are not so, but are like chaff which the wind driveth
away (Psalms 1:3-4).

Way back there, David was
speaking of two kinds of people: one the righteous and the other one is
the unrighteous. And this becomes puzzling to the mind sometimes, how this
unjust man, like Judas, the seventy, people that we studied about from 1906,
coming right up to all the women preachers, and all the male preachers, how
they could have this Holy Ghost and go out in a revival, work signs, wonders
and miracles, and after that, live in adultery, fake their own kidnapping and
ride a motorcycle down the corridor?

“How could they ever
do that?” Live in homosexuality, fall in adultery. Here our Bible is
giving us the answer. Here our Lord is giving us the answer from the seventh
chapter of the Book of Matthew and Paul is giving us the answer from the sixth
chapter of the Book of Hebrews. He said, “It is like a field and in that
field there are good trees and there are bad trees.”

Both trees predestinated to bring forth the fruits
they bear

When the rain comes, the Lord
doesn’t spare the rain and say “it is only coming for the good
tree.” When the rain comes it sprinkles both the bad tree and the good
tree. Oh my! Isn’t that a wonderful type, that when the rain falls there
you cannot just control it? The rain comes and wets the weeds and it
gives you so much trouble to weed that thing out of the garden, yes, but the
rain falls upon the good tree, also that will bear the fruits for you as the
dresser. Then you feel blessed of the Lord. It is a blessing to the dresser.

This is a picture that our
Lord gave us, this is a picture that Brother Paul is giving us, of the
explanation of the Spirit falling upon the just and on the unjust, isn’t
that simple?

So now, that is the
explanation of how the Holy Ghost could have fallen upon the father of
Pentecost, in 1901, called Parham, and that man being charged for
sodomy. That explains to you and I how the man could get the Baptism of the
Holy Ghost, way back there and yet this fellow was a racist, he had a Bible
school and was teaching his own theology.

Then it explains why this
humble man called Seymour
could receive the very same article and there is not anything in his life that we
could condemn. That gives you an idea about Brother Lee, back there as the
first man that got, the Holy Ghost, because he had a humble spirit, he was of a
different nature, he was a just man that took in Brother Seymour, and he got
the Baptism of the Holy Ghost first in the congregation. The Lord honored
him.

The Lord is typing it out as
a field, where bad trees and good trees are growing. He said that a good tree cannot
bring forth corrupt fruit. You are predestinated to bring forth the right
fruit. It is a predestinated seed that was planted there, and you cannot bring
forth a corrupt fruit. And don’t matter how hard the corrupt tree tries,
he cannot bring forth good fruit.
That is in the line of predestination. So that goes back with the
Scripture,

John 10:27 <My
sheep hear my voice…>

“And why can’t
ye hear my voice? Even because ye are not of my sheep.” So those two
Scriptures blend. You see, Brother Paul and even our Lord, spoke in a manner of
predestination, but then He comes right down and says, ‘Whosoever
will may come’, (Revelation 22:17)
(John 3:16). But that
"whosoever will may come," will actually hear the voice of God, and
God from the foundation of the world knew what you would do when you hear the
Gospel.

Two trees: Jacob and Esau – GOOD &
CORRUPT FRUITS

So it is not a partial affair, where God chose this bunch and did not
choose that bunch. He just knew you before you were born, and He knew that you
would be sitting here tonight, and He knew that when you first heard the
gospel, what you would do with it and what kind of attitude you would have
towards it. Your attitude determines your eternal destination. He said that the
good tree is going to bring forth good fruit and it is a total impossibility
for it to bring forth any corrupt fruit. The bad tree, don’t matter how
much it tries it cannot bring forth good fruits because, to begin with, your
nature is wrong, your attitude is wrong, and God seeing you from the
foundation of the world, like He saw Esau, He said,  ‘I hate this little fellow’ (Romans
9:13). Before he was even born. “Jacob, I love you, your attitude is
right towards the birthright.” The birthright is a type of the outpouring
of the Holy Spirit. Jacob was after the birthright but Esau despised the
birthright.

So the Lord, from the
foundation of the world, before the children were born; He looked out there and
His great knowledge told Him that there were to be two children, one is Esau and
one is Jacob, and Esau will despise the birthright.

So before he even despised
the birthright, the Lord said, ‘I hate that rascal’. And then He
looked at Jacob, a crooked nosed little Jew and said, ‘I love that
fellow, because he is after the promise.’ Oh yes. Oh my! The Scriptures
are so sweet. Don’t you love the Scripture? [Congregation says, “Amen!”]

When the Word of the Lord
comes, it makes it so simple, that we could see what we are teaching and
what we are preaching right in the Word of God, in the word of the Messiah, in
the word of the apostles, and then we can turn back to the message of the
prophet and see it right inside of there. Beautiful; it blesses my soul.

So the prophet of God came
to this understanding. At one time he did not have this understanding that I
just told you about, and I never had it. I learned from a prophet, and the
prophet paid a heavy price to learn what I just told you there. He was puzzled
about how the Holy Ghost could manifest through one man and it is correct, and
then another man manifest and it is correct, but one was living the right kind
of life and the other was not living the right kind of life. One was a dead
hypocrite, a corrupt tree, and one was a fruit tree. The story goes back to
about 1936. This is not hard for you to understand since you now understand the
root of the Oneness people who started in 1913.

In 1906 there was a genuine
outpouring of the Holy Spirit, a baptism of the Holy Spirit, and that baptism
of the Holy Spirit came upon people that did not have the Word and whose
natures were not changed.

In many places, the prophet
of God called it restoration of the gifts. So now usually he lines it up
by saying: justification, sanctification, baptism of the Holy Spirit. But then,
when he comes to the deeper teaching, he will now say: justification,
sanctification, restoration of the gifts, then baptism of the Holy Spirit. That
is his teaching.

JUSTIFICATION, SANCTIFICATION, RESTORATION OF THE
GIFTS, CAPSTONE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST

Quote W.M.B.: E-50 He
promised in the last days that the church would grow so close, from the days of
Luther, justification; days of Wesley, sanctification; days of the Pentecost,
the restoration of gifts; right into the Headstone. And through that would
bring forth the whole body, the resurrection of every believer.

…The church come from justification, sanctification, baptism of the
Holy Ghost, now going into the very Headstone and the Presence of the
Angel of God. Jesus Christ, the Holy Ghost so present, doing exactly the same
works that He did on earth, which is bringing forth the church and the Christ
to unite together. Just exactly what He promised. Now, don't let your
conscience be dull now; wake up. (Mary's Belief 60-0311).

Quote: E-30 Since the days of
Luther they lived under justification. The days of Wesley they come a little
higher. The church become in the minority under sanctification. Then come the
Pentecostal move, which was the baptism of the Holy Ghost, or the restoration
of the gifts. Now, we're going just in above that to the capstone...
The Spirit in the church and the Spirit that's in Him has to be the same. (It Is I Be Not Afraid
60-0329).

That was one of the first
things that your Pastor Lambert, the first martyr, asked me. I asked him a
question. I said, “How is it that the Church Age Book makes it so easy
for me to have this baptism of the Holy
Spirit, and then when I read the ‘Stature
of a Perfect Man’ it knocks me out because I realized I don’t
have any of those virtues and I don’t have that capstone.” He said,
“All right, look at me here. Let me hear the plan of salvation.” I
said, “Justification, sanctification, baptism of the Holy Ghost.”
He said, “Wrong. It is justification, sanctification, restoration of the
gifts and then Baptism of the Holy Ghost. (Ezekiel 47)” I said,
“Amen. So there are two times
that the great article would have been poured out upon the earth then, back at
Pentecost and upon the Bride in the last day?” He jumped off his feet and
said, “Amen! Praise God! If that is so, I will stay in this country (Trinidad) three more days! God has revealed the
revelation to you.” He said, “Now let us pray: our Father who art
in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Token
come, Thy will be down on earth as it is in heaven. For Thine is the Token, the
power and the glory forever and ever, amen.” He said, “Let us go
downstairs now.” He leaned upon my shoulder. He could not come down the
steps too well, and he walked down and we sat for a while there, and my
brothers and sisters, that was my starting point to understand what I am
teaching you tonight.

Ecclesiastes
11:1 <Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many
days.>

I caught that revelation and for the first time I
understood the difference of what they received on the day of Pentecost and
what Brother Branham was calling us to by the pyramid teaching. Oh, it blessed
my heart and it done me well for all those years since 1970, and we are still
marching on. “Though the vision linger it shall surely come to pass.”

The prophet of God suffered to learn this lesson that I am going to

impart
to you tonight, and many of you are privy of this and you understand these
things, but I believe that you will enjoy the line up of this in the way that
it is going to be put over.

The prophet of God, around 1936, was traveling. He
went to fish and ran out of money. He turned around his car and on his way he
found a Oneness group.

Now in that Oneness group, revival fires were still
burning, as I mentioned to you that the revival fires and the outpouring of
1906 burnt out in about three years, and the Lord used that same blessing, that
same anointing, to revive the people by another man and a little later another
man, and another man, and it kept coming up. In 1920 He blessed a man called F.
F. Bosworth. Then a little later, He kept on blessing the people.  So I am saying that the anointing, the
Holy Ghost, the baptism, the outpouring that came in 1906, was still in effect
at intervals, and they had many revivals. They had revivals, after
revivals, after revivals, but the Bride has never had a revival yet.

DENOMINATIONAL REVIVALS – NOT
BRIDE’S REVIVAL

Quote
W.M.B.: 253-2 {182} Now, that's what's the reason today that
the--the revivals that we're supposed to have... We have denominational
revivals; we haven't had a real stirring. No, no, no, no. No, sir. Don't think
we got revivals. We haven't. Oh, they've got millions and millions and millions
of church members, but not a revival nowhere. No, no.

The Bride hasn't
had a revival yet. See? There's been no revival there, no manifestation of God
to stir the Bride yet. See? We're looking for it. It will take those seven
unknown thunders back there to wake her up again. He will send it. He promised
it. Now, now, watch. Now, she was dead.
(The Third Seal 63-0320).

GOD’S GIFT MAKES A WAY

That went on and in 1936 the prophet of God met those
people. So he went in there, sat down and listened to the Words of Life. Now
when you have a gift, that gift makes a way for itself. He was hidden in a
little church somewhere and God was making a way for His gift to operate. Watch
out, it is done in simplicity. We have to understand, friends, that when God
calls you to something, you better watch out. Sometimes it seems to be very
insignificant, small, it does not even look like God, but watch out, you better
obey the Lord otherwise you will pay the same price Brother Branham paid.

He sat down there. He was the youngest preacher of all
of them, and friends, they just passed on the pulpit and by that man just
passing on the pulpit, identifying himself. All the preachers were just saying,
“My name is so and so. My name is so and so.” Because the place was
too full and the time was short. And then he passed on and said, “My name
is William Branham”, and he just went on. Oh yes, my brethren!

There is something about a man with a gift who is
anointed. His words carry a certain amount of influence, and people recognize
that and they realize that is different to the fellows that they heard. You
cannot get away from that. I can prove that in the Bible from Genesis to
Revelation. I will use one little type.

There was a little man passing down the road and saw
two fishermen. One was a big fisherman, along with a next fellow. And this
little fellow just passed by and said, “Follow me and I will make you
fishers of men.” They left their old father mending the nets, and those
words were so divine that they just left everything “and “forsook
their nets”, the Bible said, “and followed Him” (Mark 1:17-18).

There is something about a gift of God. It is not the
human being. People learn in Bible schools how to place their words, and how to
lift their voices, and how to bring down their voices, and how to run down the
aisle and all these kinds of gadgets. Now that is a put on, that is a Hollywood show. Now but the real gift of God is so simple and so humble and what it is: there
is power that comes from that gift and that voice, my brothers and sisters, is
a voice of authority. Now, the man cannot put on that. You might try to talk
like that man.

You go down the road and tell two fellows,
“Follow me and I will make you fishers of men”, and see what
results you will get. Go down to the Customs Office and tell the Customs
Officer, “Follow me.” See if he will fold up his books and give up
his job to follow you. No, there is a certain authority, and those men had not
seen a miracle yet. It is just that gift working with the Holy Spirit and it influences the sheep, “My sheep
hear my voice and a stranger they would not follow.” (John 10:27).

Now in this case of Brother Branham, he just passed
there as the youngest preacher and said “My name is William
Branham” and kept on going. But do you know what happened? An influence
went over all those ministers and the next day they went up to the pulpit and
said, “The man that will bring the message this morning is William
Branham.” And he was dressed with a tee-shirt and seersucker trousers
and, he crouched down and said, “I don’t want them to know, because
I am not dressed right to go preach up there.” So then they were
searching for this William Branham all about. “Is William Branham here?
Would you put up your hand?” No hands went up. And there was a man
sitting right there, and he said, “Are you him?” He said,
“Yes, but shh! Don’t tell them.”  He said, “Here he is!” He
said, “Those people don’t care how you are dressed, go up
there!” When he went up there and opened his mouth and spoke the Words of
Life, he captivated all those Oneness and convinced all those preachers,
including women preachers, and after the service he came outside and everybody
gave him an appointment to hold a revival for them. One person came there and
he said, “I deal with the Indians. I want you to come to the mission
field with me.” Brethren, that was God making a way for His gift. And you
know the story.

Brother Branham, however, did not realize how serious
that was because it happened in simplicity. His book was filled with
appointments maybe for the whole year and Brother Branham went home and let a big mouth mother-in-law get in his way.
I admire that young lady, Hope. She said, “It doesn’t matter what
my mother says, I will follow you anywhere you go.” That is a real wife.
And Brother Branham was such a kind man and humble man that he said,
“Yes, ma’am.” That "yes ma’am" caused him to
not to fulfill the will of God, cost him his child, cost him his wife and many
heartaches for many days that they died during the very flood that he
prophesied was going to come to cover the streets, twenty-two feet high. An
angel came down and measured the water on Spring Street. It was twenty-two feet
up in the air. That came to pass and he lost his wife. He begged for mercy and
a black sheet of refusal came down and shut off Brother Branham’s prayer.
His father died, brother died and somebody else died, until Brother Branham
learnt that lesson. We ought to obey God rather than men.

JUST & UNJUST MANIFESTING GIFTS
OF THE HOLY GHOST

REVELATION TO PROPHET

But in that same meeting in 1936, Brother Branham was so
impressed because there were prophecies and there was a man speaking in tongues
and another interpreting.  Brother
Branham was seeing visions from three years of age and he had a way of finding
out certain things and he wanted to find out some things so he said, “I
have reached home, this is it. I will follow with these people.” A
gentleman came to him and said, “Have you received the Holy Ghost,
sir?” He said, “No, I don’t think I did.” The man had
such a kind spirit and he was a genuine
Christian and that man was prophesying in the meeting. Brother Branham
wanted to meet the other man who was prophesying or speaking in tongues. He
said, “I want to find out what is going on here. I want this.” Then
the man came there and he was proud. He said, “Have you ever spoken in
tongues?” “No, I guess I didn’t.” He said, “You
didn’t get the Holy Ghost yet.” Brother Branham kept on talking
with him.

His gift used to operate in a manner where he had to speak
to you and as long as he spoke to you long enough then he could see your life.
That’s how a seer operates.
That is how Brother Branham operated. Not the person talking too much. He would
be doing the talking. Look on the film and you will see Brother Branham doing
the talking and the person almost paralyzed in the Presence of God. They could
hardly open their mouths and he said, “I am talking to you to contact
your spirit.” Then he said, “I see you moving away from me.”
Then the vision would break and the miracle would happen.

The same thing happened there, where he waited a
little bit and kept on talking to this man and a vision broke and he seen this
man cussing, sitting on a bar stool
and drinking. And together with
that, he saw the man with a blond headed woman with two bastard children and
saw the man’s wife home, who was a black headed woman. And Brother
Branham said, ‘I sure don’t want what

you
have’.

So now, that troubled Brother Branham. What I am
teaching you here tonight is Brother Branham’s teachings.  It’s what he learned by hard
lessons.  Sometime after that,
Brother Branham entered into his cave and he was praying about this matter.  He said, “Lord how is that? Here
is a man who is a dead hypocrite, here is a man who is a genuine Christian and
they both manifested the Holy Ghost and they both have the gifts of the Spirit.
I am puzzled Lord.” And the
Lord referred him to Hebrews 6.  The
wind blew the page right to Hebrews 6 and stopped.  That was the answer right there.  It was then revealed to Brother Branham
concerning what the Oneness were manifesting, which traced back to 1906, it
that was the Holy Ghost falling upon the just and on the unjust.

So now the prophet, who was sent to the Age and sent
to the Pentecostal people with that vision, knew from that time on how to deal
with the Pentecostal people. He knew that the Holy Ghost that was being given
out could fall upon the hypocrite as well as the genuine children of God.  That became a great guide to the
Prophet. This is one of the greatest
guides that I have ever received from your pastor, and this is the greatest
guide that you have received in times past.  This is the greatest guide that the
people in the outside world who don’t understand the difference of the
baptism of the Holy Spirit, will ever receive.  When these tapes go out, if they do not
have this knowledge they will then comprehend the difference of the Holy Ghost
Baptism that was poured out in 1906 and the difference of what we are preaching
today, the Token, or you will perish, that is yet to come.

TWO MAJOR SUBJECTS: Two outpourings:
one in 1906 and one to come

Now with just this understanding that just I told you,
there are two major subjects that Brother Branham preached on the Holy
Ghost.  One, the Holy Ghost that was
poured out in 1906 and on the other hand, the Holy Ghost outpouring that is yet to come.  And if you would take Brother
Branham’s message, even from the beginning, and just study that and have
that set in your mind: two outpourings of the Holy Spirit; one
from 1906 and one that is yet to come, then your eyes will be opened up in
every message of Brother Branham.
Then there would not be any contradictions on the teachings on the Holy
Ghost.

This, I have never sent out.  Isn’t that a wonderful tool?  That’s the tool that was given by
God to the Prophet.  That helps you
to understand how people could sit down and hear the same Word like you,
brethren, and say, ‘Amen’. They look genuine. They could say
‘Amen’ more than you.
They could manifest the Spirit and they look so sincere and then rise up
and are devils.  It comes back on
the same basis.  One is a corrupt
tree and one is a good tree, sitting right in the House of God; and you went
through those experiences right from the beginning.  Because you are good trees, you are
still seated here. Hard or soft, you continue with the Word of God.  Then don’t let the enemy pound
your mind and tell you that you are a bad tree. You are a good tree!  You might want a little pruning sometime, but you are a good tree.  And you have the vinedressers that could
prune you.  We will prune you from
top to bottom. Yes, disinfect you and spray you, because you have got to bring
forth the fruits.

Beloved, we have seen a lot of antichrist rise, and
the answer is right here in Hebrews 6.
Some of them have fulfilled that scripture to the letter where they have
blasphemed their way beyond repentance.
And yet, with all the problems that you had here, you are coming forth,
you are bearing fruits and we are coming closer and closer to that last shower
of rain.  There is a former rain and
a latter rain that is coming.

So now, that was a great guide. Oh I don’t have
voice to say it, but to see how the prophet suffered to understand that lesson
and what a guide that was to him, what a guide that was to the first martyr and
what a guide that is to us ministers. Don’t ever get shocked when you see people rise up and behave like a devil who
have never heard the Word of God.
You tell them about these shining clothes (I Timothy 2:9 <In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in
modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or
gold, or pearls, or costly array.),
they would wear it right in font of the pastor.  You tell them about these high-heel
shoes, they will take them and measure them and try to hold on to an inch.
Something is wrong with their souls.

From the time the meeting starts, my brother, a bunch
of women go to the women’s room and never come out until it is finished.
I wonder how much of the Holy Ghost you have.  If you have what they had in 1906 you
would be clapping your hands, you would be shouting, you would be praising God,
you would be doing the things just like they did there; and you would so want
to hear the words of life that you could not stay closed up in the
women’s room. No! You cannot just come to church and stand outside there
with the baby and make excuses with the baby. You will take care of the baby
and then come back inside, even if you have to go in and go out five or ten
times.  That’s the truth of
it.

Didn’t Jesus say that ‘By their fruits you
shall know them’? (Matthew 7:20).
And when you touch their behavior, watch their attitude. You touch the shining
dress; they say, “Where is that in the Bible?”  You touch the high heel shoes, they say,
“How many inches?” Settle the dispute and wear flat shoes.  So then we
could throw away the yardstick!
Settle the dispute!  Find
flat shoes and wear them!
“How long should I keep my hair?”  They are fulfilling tables.

Why would
a big, hefty woman want to wear a skimpy, little dress that could fit a
teenager and have that fine material hugging her form?  You might have a full dress but that
kind of material hugs your form.  As
a woman, you should have shamefacedness enough and you should love the Word
enough and want to fulfill the Word of God enough that you should examine
yourself in the mirror before you come out!  All these kinds of fine clothes and
see-through clothing and all this kind of shiny clothing and everything, is worldliness.  If you hear something come from the
pulpit and if you have any speck of the Holy Ghost, the prophet said that you
would obey. If you are a good tree
you are going to be obedient. But if
you are a bad tree, you will kick up like a mule and you would want a pastor to
suite you that could send you to the university, a pastor to suite you that you
could go down there to the sports field, a pastor to suite you that would allow
you to wear high heel shoes and cause you to wear tight dresses and everything.
It shows you are a corrupt tree, because you are searching for a doctrine to
tickle your ears. (II Timothy 4:3) We
are not intending to tickle your ears.
I threw away the feathers a long time ago!

Yes. Good tree and bad tree. The rain is falling on
both of them. But Jesus said ‘they bear two fruits’. How could you sit down under the Word of God,
enjoy the Presence of the Lord since you were a baby, you become a teenager,
you were so lovely, you came up to that certain place as a young man: fifteen
years, twenty years, and you are hearing the Word, you are singing specials,
you are interested in the Word of God, you want to play an instrument, you want
this and you want that, and then you come to a certain place where you think
now that “Nobody can tell me anything. I am over eighteen years of
age.” You are a corrupt tree. You are a proud young woman. A proud bull! Yes. You resent the pastor when he
talks to you. You evil-speak the pastor because he preaches against your lying
tongue, against your gossiping tongue; and when you fight that you are a
corrupt tree. Do you know where that would take that young woman? To be a whore! It would take that young fellow
there to be a whoremonger outside there! Corrupt trees. And those people of
Hebrews 6 rejoiced in the Spirit, they were made partakers of the Holy Spirit.
That is how they were living a Christian life for eighteen years. That is how
they were coming to church for the eighteen years. They had the Spirit. They
enjoyed the same Presence that you enjoyed and they loved to hear the Word, and
some of them were in love with the minister. But then that corruption started
coming from inside and because they are bad seeds, they want to sell the Word
of God for that like Judas. Isn’t that plain?

That explains how people could hear the Word of God
and then turn around and kick the
preacher. How they turned around and sent Jesus to the cross. And this man had
the Holy Ghost! He was a partaker of the Holy Ghost. He was enlightened by the
Word of God. He tasted of the Heavenly Gift. He sat right there and he heard of
the powers of the world to come. Another Kingdom that was going to come; the
Kingdom of Jesus Christ. And after seeing Lazarus raised from the dead, the man
was on the ship when Jesus walked through a storm on the sea; and that man had
the belly to go and sell Jesus Christ for thirty pieces of silver.

You have got to be born a devil! You have got to come
from hell and be predestinated to hell, (you are going back to hell!) And
anybody who will hear the Word of God and go out and criticize after that,
because it corrects their spirit,
something is wrong with them. They will search for a man to tell them something
that they like to hear. It goes to show that your nature is corrupt and you may
be a seed of the serpent. Lie to their parents, lie to their brothers and lie
to their sisters. When the deacons correct them, lie and then go tell their
fathers and mothers a different story. These fathers and mothers have no wisdom
at all. They believe their children more than the pastor. Then, they get a
resentful spirit. Then, they get a hateful spirit.  And then, they stand off from the
pastor.  In other words, “You blamed my child for something that was
not done!”

My beloved, you better be wise. Do you know what is my
policy now, Pastor McGahee? When I am going to correct these young people and I
know they have that kind of lying spirit upon them, I bring them right in front
of the father.  The deacons bring
the mother right there, bring the father right there, bring the witnesses and
tell the whole story. Yes! If you do it behind their backs they will go back
and tell the parents a different story and turn the parents against the pastor
and against the deacons. That is when you deal with corrupt trees. And yet
there are other trees that I deal with, which I have to prune sometimes. They
are young people too, young brothers, young sisters. I don’t need their
parents.  I don’t need mother;
I don’t need father, because their spirits are so submissive, that you will call them over and say, “Listen to
me, don’t do that.  You should
know better than that. You tighten up those clothes there and you have an
impression on your chest.” “Oh, Brother Bruce, I am so sorry. I
didn’t observe that, forgive me.” Brother, that’s a Christian
spirit. That’s a different spirit all entirely.

Some people get the idea because Brother Bruce
corrects them he’s mad with them. No! That is only the devil pounding
your mind. Yes. When I correct you I forget the issue. I am dealing with another
person. So don’t let the devil pound your mind and take away your victory. If you have corrected yourself
when you are given correction, my beloved, go ahead, get up and walk. Let us
walk the narrow way. Go on glorifying God. Don’t just come down in your
spirit let the devil beat you like that. Take your correction; go on your way
rejoicing.  That is the right
approach to correction.

My beloved, here we are. This is a clear picture that
Brother Branham got. That is why I read Matthew 13. The Lord showed him the
world, and one man went around the world sowing good seeds and soon after that
there was a man dressed in black that came and sowed bad seeds. After a while a
drought came, and both the tares and the wheat were saying, “Give us a
rain. Give us a rain.” And then the rain did come, but when it came it
wet the tares also. And at the end, both trees brought forth their special kind
of fruit because one tree was bad and one tree was good. ‘Anointed Ones At End time.’ Now this is that same parable
that Jesus spoke about. It was given to the prophet of God by a vision. And he
understood that in line with Hebrews 6 and this is the understanding that we
have today.

1906 BAPTISM WAS SALVATION TO THE
ELECT

Now the prophet of God, after he got that experience,
never did forget that lesson.  And
then later in 1965, the prophet
of God used that same vision and Matthew 24: 24 to preach to the church: ‘Anointed Ones at End Time’,
showing you that the false prophets and the antichrist will be anointed by the same Holy Ghost as the true
believer. So now he never forgot that lesson. Since that time that the prophet
of God preached the message, those false anointed ones are upon the face of the
earth. And don’t you ever doubt that they are manifesting gifts still by the Holy Ghost. Yes. Because that
outpouring that came in 1906 has not yet changed to a deeper anointing as on
the day of Pentecost. So the religious world is working in that anointing.  The followers of the message are working
in that anointing. That anointing of 1906 is still in effect, and it kept
coming up from that time on. That is why in 1936 the prophet of God bounced
into that same anointing that was given in 1906, when he met the Oneness
people.

Now if you don’t comprehend this, leave it
alone. That anointing, that outpouring, that baptism that came in 1906 was salvation to all people who would
receive it, who would receive the Lord Jesus Christ and who would strive to
live a sanctified life. If they died they would have gone on with the Lord, and
many of them will be in the Bride. That was the anointing that the Lord was
using to save the people in that age:
Trinitarians, Oneness or Jesus only, and those who believed the message of
Brother Branham. He was using that anointing.  And I will prove what I am saying
there.

The prophet established the people
upon the 1906 OUTPOURING for the 7TH age - SAVED

Now when the prophet came here he established that outpouring that was given to the seventh age. That
outpouring was given to the age. There was a new age that had broken, and that
anointing, that outpouring, that baptism was given to that age for the
people’s salvation. Just as certain as there was an outpouring in the
days of Luther that was given to him to save the people and caused them to live
above sin. They made it in, and then a deeper anointing came under Wesley that
the people had to receive; along with the truth that Wesley was bringing, in
order to be saved. The Lord was getting ready to save the Pentecostal people in
1906, He sent a deeper anointing. Now that deeper anointing that the people
were going to receive in 1906 was salvation to any man that would live true to
the Word of God. I repeat that in 1906, that was the anointing, that was the
outpouring of the Holy Ghost and the baptism coming upon the just and the
unjust. It fell upon the hypocrite as well as the genuine Christian man or
woman. That was recognized for that
age by William Branham because that outpouring and baptism kept on traveling up
and he met the same condition in 1936 amongst the Oneness people. That same
baptism and outpouring was in the Assemblies of God. The people that followed
Brother Branham’s message were
still receiving that baptism. Yes. He established them upon that baptism. He
invited them to come for the baptism. He prayed for them to get that baptism.
He let them tarry at certain times.
He let them fast some times for that baptism. Then he would discern, he
said, “You are sick. You were praying for the baptism of the Holy
Ghost.”  He said, “You
will receive it.”

Quote
W.M.B.: E-86 I hear you in your prayer, seeking for God to give you the
baptism of the Holy Ghost, and you come here tonight after praying, and come
here for me to lay hands on you, so that you'd receive the baptism of the Holy
Ghost…Now, go; you're going to receive It. (Sirs We Would See Jesus 57-1211).

Quote: E-39 That's
it, isn't it? Baptism of the Holy Ghost, you desire it. That's it… Go,
you're going to receive it. Jesus Christ will grant it to you. God, grant this,
in Jesus' Name. Amen. (Blind
Bartimaeus 54-0402).

Now this is something very important: Brother Branham himself established
that baptism of the Holy Ghost that came in 1906. He called it the baptism. He
called it “Outpouring if the Holy Spirit.” There are thousands of
quotes to prove that. He wanted his children to receive that article. He said,
‘I have four children and they need to receive that Holy Ghost. I’m
not sure when they got it.

I WANT TO SEE MY CHILDREN SAVED &
FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST

Quote W.M.B.
E-23
Now, I've got my children. There's my little son, Joseph, and Billy, Sarah,
Rebekah. Well now, I want to see each one of them a worker in the Gospel, doing
something. I want to see them saved and filled with the Holy Ghost. Now, I've
committed them to God and say, "I'm holding on to God for them." See?
And I believe they're going to be saved, every one of them. See? I believe
they're going to be saved, and I'll have them on the other side. And--and I
don't believe my salvation will save them. No. But my faith in God will do it.
You see, my faith believing God will do it, and will cause them to come to
Christ. (Thy House 61-0808).

Quote: 54-5 Lord Jesus, I pray that You'll save
Becky, and Sarah, and Joseph, and them too, Lord. Don't let this happen to my
children, Lord. (Souls That Are In
Prison Now 63-1110m).

Now brethren, Brother Branham knew that the people
under his message were receiving that same article from 1906, the Assemblies of
God were receiving the same article, the Oneness were receiving the same
article, and other men like Jack Coe and other great evangelists were receiving
and operating under the same baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Brother Branham sent three quarter million of his
converts into the Assemblies of God. And a question was asked Bother
Branham.

THREE QUARTER MILLION SOULS SENT BY W.M.B. TO
ASSEMBLIES OF GOD

Quote
W.M.B.: 967-213 Like the
other day, this same person called up and wanted to know about that, and said,
"You said..." (This minister out there, this fellow down there that
wanted discuss that. Poor brother, he's in such a delusion.) He said,
"Well, Brother Branham (See?)," he said, "he's against you
Assemblies of God." And if a Assembly minister happens to pick up this
tape, I want you to tell me when was I ever against the Assembly of God men or
any other man. Why is it, when your own headquarters admit that I have sent to
you three-quarters of a million of my children that I've begotten to Christ?
How am I against the Assemblies of God? Why am I against the oneness? I'm not
against no oneness, Assemblies of God, Church of God, or no man. I'm against
every system that separates men. (Questions And Answers 1 64-0823m).

THEY BELIEVE IN HEALING & BAPTISM HOLY
GHOST

Quote: 967-214 Look, I
have sent to the Assemblies, by their own count, three-quarters of a million of my own children. If they're so bad,
why'd I do that? Why? I think it's the best there is in the land to send them to,
either the oneness or some of the Pentecostal belief, 'cause they believe in
Divine healing; they believe in the supernatural; they believe in the baptism
of the Holy Ghost. That's the best... I can't bring them all right here;
they're all over the world. I got friends all over the world, children that
I've begotten to Christ. I'll send them to the best... Did you ever hear me
when I'm making an altar call? I say... When I get them up there and get them
saved, I say, "Now, you go to some good Full Gospel church and get you a
church home." How many ever heard me say that? Sure, sure. Well, why would
I send them there then? Would I be a hypocrite to send my own children to
death? Far be it from me. No, sir. (Questions And Answers 1 64-0823m).

Why would he do that? Bear in mind that the Assemblies of
God were Trinitarians and they were baptizing in Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, titles. And those men thought that
they had their own great ministries and they were manifesting signs, wonders
and miracles. And they had the same article of 1906 baptism of the Holy
Ghost.

I am
proving to you that that baptism of the Holy Ghost was salvation for that hour
as long as you accepted Jesus Christ and you were striving to live a Christian
life. And both the just and the unjust were sitting right in the Assemblies of
God. The just and the unjust were sitting right in the tabernacle. The just and
the unjust were right down at the Oneness. He proved that. And then salvation
was left to the honesty of the people, of how much they wanted to live the Word
of God.

Millions saved under 1906 baptism
– HOW THEY RECEIVED IT

So now, Brother Branham took three-quarter million
people and sent them to the Assemblies of God, and he sent about two hundred
and fifty thousand to the Oneness, which is the Jesus Only. Now just let that
settle, brethren, and think of what I am saying, that although these people
were Trinitarians, Jesus Only (which Brother Branham never believed in a
Trinitarian doctrine, nor the Oneness doctrine because Jesus cannot be his own
father; the truth is right between there),
the prophet sent three-quarter million of his converts that had the Holy
Ghost into the Assemblies of God, and two hundred and fifty thousand into the
Oneness of God.

Later, those that lived true to the Word of God were saved. He climbed into another
dimension, beyond the curtain of time, he seen millions of his converts. Now
brethren, this should make our hearts rejoice to see how perfect the Word of
God is, that those people were not lost. Brother F.F. Bosworth had belonged to
the Assemblies of God. Later, he left them. And beloved, the prophet sent those
children of his into the Assemblies of God. And to show you that they were
saved, after awhile Brother Branham climbed up into the realms of the Heavens
and he saw millions of them. How
were they saved? They were saved, my brother, by the baptism of the Holy Ghost
that was being given out for that age.

Quote
W.M.B.: 20-2 And I heard something say, "Would you like
to see just beyond the curtain?"

I said,
"It would help me so much." …Whether it was I was in this body
or out, whether it was a translation... It wasn't like any vision I ever had. I
could look there, and I could look here. And when I hit that little place, I
never seen so many people come running, screaming, "Oh, our precious
brother." And I looked, and young women, maybe in their early twenties
(eighteen to twenty), they were throwing their arms around me and screaming,
"Our precious brother."

Here come
young men in the brilliance of young manhood, and their eyes glistening and
looking like stars on a darkened night, their teeth as white as pearl, and they
were screaming, and grabbing me, and screaming, "Oh, our precious
brother."

…And I
heard a voice then that spoke to me that was in the room, said, "This is
what you preached was the Holy Ghost. This is perfect love. And nothing can
enter here without it." I am more determined than ever in my life that it
takes perfect love to enter there.
There was no jealousy. There was no tiredness. There was no death.

…I
said, "But I... There's millions.
There's not that many Branhams."

And that
voice said, "They're not Branhams; them's your converts. That's the ones
that you've led to the Lord." And said, "Some of them women there
that you think are so beautiful were better than ninety years old when you led
them to the Lord. No wonder they're screaming, 'Our precious brother.'"

And they
screamed all at once, "If you hadn't have went, we wouldn't be here."
(The Rejected King 60-0515m).

And how were you, at that time, going to receive that
baptism that came in 1906? All that you had to do were to say, ‘I accept
Jesus as my Savior and Lord,’ and mean it, and be sincere in your heart,
and get into prayer. You had to pay a price. You had to be honest in your
heart, and then you were going to get that baptism. When you spoke in tongues
they said you had it. Sometimes it was a devil that came on you. And sometimes
you prophesied, and you got it, but, the initial evidence they said was
speaking in tongues. Now that means something, what I just said. When they
accepted Jesus Christ in that time, they called that born again, and they
called that born again up to today. And it worked. I am saying it worked.

Later on they asked Brother Branham, they said,
‘Brother Branham is all born again going in the rapture?’ He said,
‘No. All born again is not going in the rapture.’

BORN AGAIN TRINITARIANS

Quote
W.M.B.: 1040-Q-317 317. Will all borned again believers go in
the rapture?

No, just the remnant, just the remnant, not all born
again believers. The Bible said, "And the rest of the dead lived not for a
thousand years," and then they was raised up and separated, the sheep from
the goats. Not all borned again will go in the... according to the Scripture. (Questions and Answers 64-0823E).

Showing you that he knew what they were calling
“born again”.  So now he
would say, “How many born
again Baptist are in here? How many born again Pentecostals are in here?  Would you raise your hands?  How many born again people are in
here?” Everybody raised their hands.’

Quote W.M.B.: E-5 How many
people here tonight, in the Divine Presence has been borned again? Let's see
your hands, everywhere, been borned again? Oh, my, isn't that fine?

And we're
made up here, 'course I guess, of all different denominations, Methodist,
Baptist, Presbyterian, Pilgrim Holiness, and Nazarenes, and Pentecostals, and Church of God, and Assemblies, and oh, what all. (True Vine And The False Vine 55-0607).

Quote: E-77 You that were Methodists, raise up
your hands. Baptists, Presbyterian, Catholic... Now, all that's borned again of
the Spirit of God, raise up your hands, whether you're Methodist, Baptist, or
Catholic, or what. (An Ensign
62-0119).

He knew that they were talking about accepting the
Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, and as long as you did that, and
you were sincere in your heart, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the outpouring
from 1906 was ready to come upon you.
And it came upon many.

Let me put that in the Word.  The apostles
and the seventy, along with others accepted the Lord Jesus as the Messiah.
After they accepted the Messiah, they received power over unclean spirits etc.
They first had to accept the Messiah.
In this age those people had to accept Jesus as personal savior in order for the baptism of the
Holy Ghost to come upon them. And then that power was given to them. Some of
them went out into ministries manifesting gifts, but their natures were
corrupt. So that is why you find the preachers manifesting corrupt natures in
the history coming up, up to Benny Hinn today, most popular TV evangelist,
collecting two to three hundred million dollars a year.

Do you understand what I’m saying?  So all that they had to do was to accept
the Lord Jesus Christ, and that is why you hear over the radio, over the
television, about the presidents, Clinton and Bush, and even the pope is
“born again.” That is where the terminology came from.
“Everybody in America
is born again. As long as you say, ‘I accept Jesus Christ as personal savior and Lord.’” And do
you know that the pope accepted Him too? Why do you think he is sitting in
place of Jesus Christ?  He accepted
Jesus. Are you telling me the pope is born again?  There is a difference.  Now if you
think deep, you are going to see the difference.

I Peter 1:23 <Being born again, not of
corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and
abideth for ever.>

Message followers have 1906 baptism
BUT MUST HAVE TOKEN OR PERISH

You had to come and accept Jesus Christ in order for
you to get that baptism of the Holy Ghost that they had in 1906, which traveled
down to 1909, 1936, and came right up, and that is what the people in the
message have up to today.
It’s the baptism of the Holy Ghost that was poured out in 1906,
which is still operating today right among the followers of Malachi 4, worldwide. Now if they live true and
don’t come against solid truth, all message believers in whatever part of
the world that they are in, if they die, they go in with the Lord.  I hope you are getting this picture very
clearly.

When you see a man start behaving like an animal, and
coming up against the things that we send out concerning another outpouring of
the Holy Spirit, and will start denying that, he is doing the same thing that
the ten spies did under Moses, and his carcass
is going to fall in the wilderness and perish. And when we cross over Jordan
into the promise land, which is another outpouring of the Holy Spirit, he
cannot go in.  It is a dangerous thing to deny the promise of
God. God promised another outpouring of the Holy Spirit and when you see that
made plain in front of you, like in book fourteen, and throughout all those
E.O.D.H. books, you better bow down. When you hear the words of the prophet
backed up by the Bible, you better humble your proud heart and accept the
promise of God, otherwise your carcass will fall in the wilderness of this
world. I’m telling you the truth.

Can you make it until midnight tonight? [Congregation
says, “Amen!”] Fine. Good.
I’m not studying the clock here tonight. My mind is on my message.
My mind is in India.
My mind is in Africa. My mind is in the Philippines.
My mind is set upon the people of God to show them the two different outpourings. One outpouring, you could have it and live a
sanctified life, you could work signs, you could work wonders, you could preach
the gospel, and yet not go in the
rapture. It is holiness or hell. And to show you that there is another
outpouring coming that you must have or you will perish, the prophet declared
that you will have the Token or you will perish.  That is what I am talking about. Once
you get this understanding you will be able to read Brother Branham’s
message and divide these two
outpourings. You will be able to see that he’s talking about what the
people are receiving up to today, and you will be able to look on this side and
see what is coming. Then they would not criss-crossed and you would not want to
know how could he say this here and how could he say that here? Do you know
that is what causes a lot of
divisions in the message; and different factions? It is lack of understanding
of what Brother Branham was teaching on the Holy Ghost.

Just to prove to you that the prophet of God accepted
that baptism of the Holy Spirit, I quote here,

BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST IN THE LAST
DAYS

Quote
W.M.B.: That's what the church did. It entered into
justification under Luther. Then it went into sanctification under Wesley, went
into the baptism of the Holy Ghost in this last days, and now resting with the
Earnest of our inheritance that we know that something happened in us… (Revelation Chapter Five 61-0618).

Brother Branham recognized it as the baptism of the
Holy Ghost. He recognized Luther, baptism under justification, Wesley, baptism
under sanctification, and 1906 baptism of the Holy Ghost.

NEED MEN WITH THE HOLY GHOST- BILLY GRAHAM
CHALLENGED

Quote
W.M.B.: E-35 Then people today are
as past, they hybrid the church to organizations to creeds and mix up people's
minds, and then they say, "Where is God? Where is the God of the Old
Testament? Where is the Lord Jesus that promised these things?" That's
what Billy Graham was confronted with not long ago by a Mohammedan. Where is
this God that you speak of? You said He healed the sick. I'll take thirty, and
you take thirty, and see what we can do about it."

Oh, what we need today is man gallant, filled with the
Holy Ghost to call his hand on it. That's right. God's still the God that was
with Elijah on Mount Carmel; He's still the
same God today. (It Wasn't So From The Beginning 60-1127m).

PEOPLE IN CHICAGO FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST –
MINISTERS - REVIVAL

Quote:
E-83 I wonder, the rest of you here, how many in this building has received the
Holy Ghost, stand up. Every person in the building now that's baptized with the
Holy Ghost, stand with these. Ministers of the Gospel, come forward to the
platform, quickly. All preachers filled with the Holy Ghost, come here to the platform
just a moment. You're going to see the most glorious thing you've seen in a
long time. Will the ministers make their way to the platform, right away if you
will?

Them who are filled with the Holy Ghost, come up here
just a minute. You who are filled with the Holy Ghost out there, stand just a
moment, keep your mind on God. Shut yourself in around here, believers. This is
the hour. This is the time. This is the place. This is when something's going
to happen. This is when the exceedingly abundantly. This is where it'll start
the revival. Right here will start things moving that would burn Chicago to the bottom for
the Lord Jesus Christ. Give me this bunch of people here with the Holy Ghost
and you'll hear a revival breaking in the streets and around these churches
here, everywhere.. (Why I am a Holy Roller 53-0830A).

That revival that Brother Branham had was on, and he
recognized all the preachers that were in that meeting in Chicago as men that had the baptism of the
Holy Spirit.  Pentecostals, Baptists,
Methodists, and everybody was in that meeting. He said, “All you people
that have the Holy Ghost stand up.” Brother Branham was recognizing that
baptism of the Holy Ghost upon the people that had traveled up from 1906. And
he said that if you will come together you will have signs and wonders and
miracles right here, and it could burn Chicago
to the ground.

FILLED WITH HOLY GHOST – FILLED
WITH POWER

Quote W.M.B.: E-36 What takes place
when you're filled with God? When you're filled with God, you're filled with
the Holy Ghost, you're filled with power, you're filled with love, with joy,
with peace, with longsuffering, with goodness, with meekness, with gentleness,
with worship. You're filled with joy. David said, "My cup runneth
over." And if David had a cup running over before the Holy Ghost come,
what would it be now?

You're filled with something. And when you're filled
with man's ideas, if you're filled with churchanity, if you're filled with
creeds, you're only building yourself a Babylon that's got to fall. If you fill
yourself up with a modern world, if you fill yourself up with lust, if you fill
yourself up with pride, if you fill yourself up with your denomination, you're
lost. There's only one way to endure; that is to put the original thing that
God made that compartment in your heart to be filled with, and that was the
Holy Ghost. (United Under One Head 58-0326).

SPIRIT FILLED MEN – GIFTS MANIFESTED

Quote: 264 Now, I want to ask something. Will you, my
brethren, stand here with me? You see, here's one thing about it. Many
evangelists goes into a city, and they do all the praying for the sick, and all
the rest of it. And when the congregation, when it's gone, the--the--the
people's only built around the evangelist. See? That isn't so, people. I know
it, there's a lot of impersonation, but I won't say what I was going to. But
these men might not do that, that's true, and I very much doubt it.

But they're just as ordained of God to lay hands on
the sick, as I or anybody else. God's just as much to answer their prayer, as
He would be to any prayer there is. Jesus has commissioned, "These
signs," didn't say will follow William Branham, Oral Roberts, so forth,
"it'll follow them that believe." And these men are filled with God's
Spirit. They're baptized people, with the same Holy Spirit. That Spirit was
here doing that work just a few moments ago, He's still here. He's on each one of these men (See?), and
they're all filled with It. So I'm going to ask them to make a double line
along here on the sides of this row here, if they will, so that they can lay
their hands upon the sick too, as they pass through. (Does God Change His Mind 65-0427).

Why are you reading that, Brother Bruce?  I am reading that to show that up to 1965,
the prophet of God getting ready to depart this world, still recognized the baptism of the Holy
Ghost as was poured out in 1906.
And he proclaimed that the people were filled with that Holy Ghost and
he called them up. He said “Come here ministers, come here people, lay
your hands upon the people”, Oral Roberts was working by that same Holy
Ghost and you could work with the same Holy Ghost. Bear in mind those who he is
preaching to are Trinitarians, they are Oneness, they are all kinds of Foursquares,
Threesquares, Twosquares and Pentecostals, Assemblies of God. But among them,
there were people who had just accepted Jesus Christ and wanted to live for
Christ, who received that article.

So now Brother Branham was not separating anybody, and
saying, “You are unjust, and you are just.” No! He said, “I
was going to say something just now, but I wouldn’t say it again. But you
know there are a lot of impersonations in these days.”

So now, what was happening is that the just and the
unjust were sitting right there and the unjust could have manifested gifts as well as the just.  There was a revival burning and because
of that, the prophet of God called those men who were filled with the Holy
Ghost and all the other people who were filled with the Holy Ghost in the
congregation, to come and pray for the sick, showing you that the 1906
outpouring and the baptism of
the Holy Ghost was still working
among the people, even up to the departure of the prophet.  Let that settle.

W.m.b. had the original article of Pentecost,
Like Jesus

Now this is as clean as a whistle.  He still recognized that filling, that
baptism up to that time. Oh my! Let me fix something here and put it back in
the Scripture. While Brother Branham was pointing the people to the 1906
outpouring and all the preachers were operating in the 1906 outpouring, Brother
Branham had the article of original
Pentecost. You say, “How is it?” Because he had the Word, and
he came through the door and not through a window.

John 7:38 <He that believeth in me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly
shall flow rivers of living water.>

The prophet of God was the first who had the true Word
of God for the age, and he received the true article. “Now preacher, that
is a hard thing to believe because there was only a certain outpouring, you
said, was being given out from 1906. How could God be so partial and only give
Brother Branham the original
Pentecostal blessing?” Even because He did it in Scriptures before. I
don’t know if you could recall the Scripture.  I tell you this thing is getting better
and better. Oh my! It is sweet.

My beloved, there broke a certain age in the days of
our Lord Jesus and there was one man
upon the whole earth that had the real baptism of the Holy Spirit, which He
received at the banks of Jordan, and He started His ministry but He gave the
apostles a different article
entirely. And all the preachers that were on the field, in their revival and in
their manifestation of gifts, had another power and another outpouring of the
Holy Spirit, and Jesus had the original. Tear up the Scripture there somebody
in Africa, somebody in China,
somebody in the Philippines
or somebody there in India.
You have it line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a
little. You cannot tear up what I am saying. The only man that had what they
had on the day of Pentecost was the man called William Branham! Yes sir. And he
proved it. That is why his ministry was different to all those other characters
who we read about and we found in the Pentecostal history.

Though Jesus had the original baptism of the Holy
Ghost, the fullness of the Godhead
bodily came down in Him because he was the Word of God, He imparted a partial
baptism. He imparted another kind of outpouring and He outpoured that Spirit
upon the people while their natures were not changed, and all that they had
done was to accept the Lord as Messiah, as Savior and as Lord, and that power
came upon them and they went forth working signs, wonders and miracles.

The same thing happened in 1906, my beloved. The Lord
outpoured another kind of outpouring upon them. They were gifted and they went
out working signs and wonders. And even while Brother Branham was upon the
earth, Coe was working miracles and signs, A. A. Allen was working miracles and
signs, and Judas was working miracles and signs, and Bosworth was working
miracles and signs. My God!

New era dawned - receive the token
or perish

But something changed upon the earth.  And when that certain thing changed, the
prophet of God came to the pulpit and said, “You will receive the Token
or you will perish!”

Everybody
in the Tabernacle thought they had it. They had what the people received in
1906. Without that, Brother Branham would not have allowed Neville to pastor
the church because he had already declared that unless a man is filled with the
Holy Ghost, he has no right behind the pulpit” And he ordained Pastor
Neville, to be behind the pulpit.

Quote
W.M.B.: 37-1 No man, no person, no woman, boy, girl--I don't
care who he is--is fit to go in the pulpit, or even claim to be a Christian,
without being filled with the Holy Ghost. (The Future Home of the Heavenly Bridegroom and the Earthly Bride
64-0802).

Brother Branham knew that there could not be any deacons
until they were filled with the Holy Ghost. The first seven had to have the
Holy Ghost (Acts 6:3).

But in this message called ‘The Token’, he said, “Deacon Board, Deacons,
Brother Neville, Branham Tabernacle, you will receive the Token or you will
perish!” My beloved, that is a different
article. That’s the original article of Pentecost he was speaking
about.

Quote W.M.B.: 35-3 Pastor
Neville, and to this congregation, trustees, deacons, to you brethren, it's
time that we laid aside all the foolishness of the world, time we laid aside
everything else. We've seen enough now, that we're positive, sure, and the
Token must be applied. Without it, you're going to perish; you must perish.
That is the only thing. Oh, don't come together, say, "I believe it."
Get beneath it. Get into it. How to do it? By one Spirit we're baptized into the Body of Jesus Christ.
Everybody believe with all your heart. See? He was not responsible for any out
from beneath it. (The Token
63-0901m).

You out on the field there, if you have E.O.D.H. book
14, read the first chapter and you will see all those quotations are pertaining
to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit like they had on the day of Pentecost.
Something happened upon the earth at a certain time. Brother Branham started
calling the people back to Pentecost
and back to the original outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and the Token message
was his highlight message, even because he knew that the outpouring of the Holy
Spirit that the people got in 1906 could not take them in the rapture.  That is why he said, “You will
receive this Token or you will perish.” From that declaration, the people ought to have started preparing for the Token by living a sanctified and holy life and
believing that promise. Beloved, they ought to have been doing what we are
doing: Looking forward for the promise of God, cleansing our lives and trying
to understand the deeper things of God in the Word of God.

“Brother Bruce, what is it that happened upon
the earth that caused Brother Branham to say what he said?” “This
Token message is my highlight message and this is that message that is to
follow the Seals.”

Quote
W.M.B.: 9 The message this morning was to me the highlights message of my entire
ministry, … Someday I'll tell you how it come about. And I know that
everything has worked for months and months and months up to that one message,
moving up to come to that place. That was the capping-off time of it. (Desperation 63-0901e).

Quote: 28 I believe
of all the message that I ever brought, that absolutely was ordained of God,
outside of the--course the regular commission, like the Seven Seals and
things--that was directly the Word of God. I'm talking about a message to
preach; I believe that one was it (See?), the one that's needed to follow those Seven Seals. (Desperation 63-0901e).

What happened upon the face of the earth is that the
prophet of God knew that the seals were opened and the Word of the Lord had
come to the people line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and
there a little. When that happened, they could now have the outpouring of the
Holy Spirit, which is the Rest (Isaiah 28). So the way was made, by the opening
of the Seals, to bring forth the Token. (Ephesians
1:13).

What is the opening of the seals? The opening of the
seals made a way that you and I
could receive this outpouring of the Holy Spirit. If you don’t see the
seals like that, you missed the
opening of the seals. You must be able to understand the opening of the seals
and the purpose of it. It was to prepare the hearts of the people by the
revelation of the Son of Man to receive the Token that is coming.

Laodicean Spirit on message
believers denies the original outpouring

Now, proud men, ambitious men, self-willed men, Judases
and heretics hold on the Outpouring from 1906 and totally disregard the
preaching of an outpouring of the Holy Spirit to come.  God is coming and He is coming very soon
to expose their pride, their boastfulness and their jumping up around this message,
saying that “We don’t need anything again.  No man can teach us the message.  We know the message.”  Don’t you know that is a Laodicean spirit?  God is coming by this outpouring of the
Holy Spirit and they will be found naked
because they are not preparing for this outpouring of the Spirit, but we are
preparing and we are trying to help all our brothers abroad and everywhere upon
the face of the earth to understand, that outpouring from 1906 cannot take them
in the Rapture and we need another outpouring of the Spirit to go in the
Rapture.

Plan to receive original outpouring
is stature of a perfect man

Let me put in a little heavy something here. There is a
difference between receiving the outpouring on the day of Pentecost and
receiving the 1906 outpouring. For the 1906 outpouring, you just had to accept
the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. But for the outpouring on the day of
Pentecost, Peter had to confess the Rock
revelation of the Son of Man, and only then could he have received what he
received on the day of Pentecost. The way to receive this outpouring of the
Holy Spirit is first be born again
by faith, as Peter was born again, and then climbed up in the stature, and then you will received the
Capstone which is the article of Pentecost, which is the Token, which is the
baptism of the Holy Spirit, which is the greater anointing.

Quote
W.M.B.: 48-1 See, these fellows wasn't required, what these
fellows was. This wasn't required
what this was. See, but He brought His church up the same way he's bringing His
people up. Then Peter here says first (seven things) faith, virtue (See, coming
up), knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly love, and brotherly
kindness and then the love of God, the Holy Ghost. Christ in the Person of the
Holy Ghost comes upon you in the true baptism
of the Holy Ghost, and you got all these virtues sealed in you, then God
lives in a tabernacle called the building, the living Tabernacle of the living
God's dwelling place. (Stature Of A
Perfect Man 62-1014m).

Quote: 48-2  When a man possesses these kind of
things, then the Holy Ghost comes upon him. No matter, you might speak with
tongues; you might impersonate any gift that God's got. You might do that, but until
these virtues here go into you, you're still off the real true foundation of
faith. But when these virtues grow in, as you added that to that, then you are
a living monument. You are a living, moving idol. (Stature Of A Perfect Man 62-1014m).

Quote: 22-3 And now,
as in the individuals, these virtues and things are (knowledge and
temperance)--is added to our faith, then when the Capstone comes, the Holy spirit cements it together; There's the baptism of the Holy Spirit. That's why
it's so short today. (Blasphemous
Names 62-1104m).

And when
that happens, there will break forth a Bride’s
revival.  So the Bride has never
had a revival; she’s waiting on the Capstone to bring that revival.  But there were many revivals from 1906,
and you had organizational revivals.
And you had millions of church members, but the Bride has never had a
revival yet. (See Quote W.M.B.: 253-2 {182} The Third Seal 63-0320).

Quote W.M.B.: 100 And in
the Pentecostal age, through the Lutheran age, through the Wesleyan age, it's
been the same thing through this Pentecostal age. Now, notice, but at the
opening of the Seven Seals,
Revelations 10, the full Word is to
be borned into manifestation again and vindicated
by the Spirit of God in the full strength, as It was when It was here on earth,
manifested in the same way, doing the same things that It did when It was here
on earth. Amen. Hebrews 13:8 said Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today,
and forever. (Seed Not Heir With
Shuck 65-0218).

She’s waiting on another outpouring of the Holy Spirit to bring
her that revival. You see the difference? I hope you understand this message.
God is coming to humble the hearts of the followers of Malachi 4, and drive all
these impersonators off the trail. He is coming in this ministry to drive off
all these men from so-called Pentecost, the unjust with the Baptism of the Holy
Ghost and the Outpouring and all those gifts: “Get off this trail! You
cannot ride this trail unless you are ordained to ride it.”

Quote
W.M.B.: 33-2 “You started going on towards the west and
when it did, said I seen this man that called himself a prophet (you know.)
Said, "He come up on a horse that was mixed with white and black
together." … And he said, "Come back and said he took his
little horse, trying to knock your big horse off, turning him around: …
And said, "You didn't speak like you did; you commanded." Said,
"You turned around and called the man by name and said, 'Get off of here.'
You know that no man can ride this road here, without God be ordained him to do
it. Get off of here." (Knoweth
It Not 65-0815).

FOLLOWERS OF MESSAGE MUST SURRENDER
1906 BAPTISM – BOASTINGS VOID

I am asking all followers of Malachi 4 and all the
preachers in the world, where is your boasting? All that you have is what they
received in 1906 because that is what the prophet imparted. And it cannot take
you in the Rapture. Where is your boasting? Where are your gifts? Where is your
pride? Where is your knowledge in the Message? You still have the same article.
That is why you manifest adultery
and homosexuality, and that is why
you sent the people back on the sport fields. That is why you have the women
dressing like that. That is why they have over there, at “Voice of
God”, sporting facilities. Because you need what they had on the day of
Pentecost. And under that 1906 outpouring, and the Holy Ghost, and baptism,
which all of you have, you could go out on the field and have sports. You could
allow the women to use high heel shoes and mermaid dresses. You could think
that you are in some evangelism, going around the world, pretending you are a
missionary, pretending you are an apostle, and you don’t have the power
of God.

That is why you could live under an imitation. That is why you could be a
hypocrite, pretending that you have
a five-fold ministry. The five-fold ministry is set by another outpouring of
the Holy Spirit, and God will humble the proud hearts of these men that pack
the knowledge of the message into their heads, and make them think that they
are something so great that they don’t have to listen to any little
preacher. God will show you that you have to listen to men that will go back to
Pentecost. That is where the true gifts are. That is where the true power is
going to be.

Quote
W.M.B.: 15-5 Notice
the man then, being just a plow boy before. God made his name immortal. All the
prophets that stood around watching him had to bow to his feet because he had
the power of God upon him. There's coming a hour when God shall make the world bow at the feet of men and women
who have plunged through and crossed Jordan and separated them thing--selves
from the things of the world.

Brother and
sister, tonight whatever you do, whatever you think, you cross Jordan
with God. Go on over; separate, leave the world behind. Let God train you for
His own service. We are living in a day before this revival, but God's
searching out, trying to find hearts. (God
Called Man 58-1005e).

You talk about preachers in this message swallowed up
with pride. Have their wives running
the churches. She preaches a message in the bedroom, and he comes and does her
preaching from the pulpit. There are as much women preachers in this message as you have in other churches. But
they do their preaching in the bedroom, and their husbands do their preaching,
because she has him by the ear. Wrings his ear, and he got to do what she says.
But by this outpouring of the Holy Spirit, God is coming to humble their pride.

“Brother Bruce, what are you trying to
say?” I am saying that the Holy Ghost that you received, Mister
Gentleman, from that outpouring from 1906, and what I received in 1967, and
what some of you people here received way back there, you have to surrender it! You have to give it up!
It cannot carry you in the Rapture. There came a time that the apostles, who
were anointed and gifted, had to give up the anointing they had before, and the
power that they had before, and go up to Pentecost. Don’t tell me that
you don’t have to give it up. You have to give it up. Turn lose of that experience, when you
hear this Word of God. And don’t you think that that can carry you in the
rapture.

Oh my brothers and sisters, may the Lord bless your
heart for suffering with me tonight. But how many enjoyed the Word of God? [Congregation says “Amen!”]
I was about to preach a message tonight, but the Lord turned my message around
just late this evening. That’s why I came out here a little later. he
devil tried to afflict my throat last night. I had a sore throat. I
didn’t think I could preach. But yesterday I said, “I am going in
the name of Jesus. This is the Devil that doesn’t want those words pasts
these lips.” And I have to announce to you that after I preached last
night, my throat got better. I thank God for healing. I thank God for victory. And tonight my throat feels so
strong, I could go for another two hours here. But we will leave the rest for
another time. May the Lord bless your hearts. Let us give Him a praise
offering.  [Congregation praises the Lord.]
