Pentecostalism -
100 years

Satan’s hall
of shame

CHAPTER   7

<And unto the angel of the church of the
Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness,
the beginning of the creation of God;

I know thy works, that thou art neither cold
nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

So then because thou art lukewarm, and
neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Because thou sayest, I am rich, and
increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art
wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in
the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be
clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine
eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be
zealous therefore, and repent.> Revelation 3:14-19

May the Lord add
a blessing to the reading of His Holy Words.

Latter rain, my
people shall never be ashamed

I will
preach on “Pentecostalism - One Hundred Years: Satan’s Hall of
Shame.” Right there, the Book of Revelation has already confirmed my
title. The Lord invited them to buy white raiment that they may be clothed and
that the shame of their nakedness do not appear; and anoint their eyes with eye
salve that they may see but they rejected that call. All who rejected that call
by Malachi 4:5-6 are today in the “Hall of Shame,”
“Satan’s Hall of Shame.” It is the intention of Satan to put
every Christian into that Hall of Shame as much as possible. By the grace of
God, we would not enter there. It is promised to us that we would not be
ashamed.

Over in the Book
of Joel (2:23-27) it says,

<Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and
rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately,
and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the
latter rain in the first month.

And the floors shall be full of wheat, and
the fats shall overflow with wine and oil.

And I will restore to you the years that the
locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my
great army which I sent among you.

And ye shall eat in plenty, and be
satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously
with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.

And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel,
and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be
ashamed.>

In 1906, these
people got the baptism of the Holy
Spirit by a great Outpouring of the Spirit. But we see that after those great
evangelists arose who worked signs and wonders and the gifts were restored. We
have traced the history and they came through one hundred years of tent
evangelism, television evangelism and all kinds of gifts were manifested,
signs, wonders and miracles. We have a picture here today that many of those
evangelists ended up in Satan’s Hall of Shame. Now that alone proves
that, that was not the Latter Rain, because the Bible said,
“When He pours out that Latter Rain, we will eat in plenty and My people
shall never be ashamed.” It is the proof that, that was not the true
outpouring of the Holy Spirit like the day of Pentecost.

As I said, this
is our contribution to
Pentecostalism, which started in 1906 and we are right here in 2006. While the
world is celebrating One Hundred Years of Pentecostalism worldwide, we are giving
our contribution. We will also call it “a celebration.” We are
celebrating with 1906 Pentecost today One Hundred Years of their achievement.
Our celebration is a little different because it is based upon the Word of God;
it is based upon the message of the hour and it is based upon historical facts
taken from their own records. They have what you call “Pentecostal
history.”

This is not
telling lies on these great men. Many of them lived in their day and I believe
that they were used of God. Some were used of the devil because it was the rain
falling upon the just and on the unjust. Some made it into heaven and I am sure
some went down to Hell. Just like
that revival that started with the apostles. Many of them made it in and some
made it to Hell. It was said of Judas that he came from hell and went back to
hell, because he was the son of perdition but he shared in that revival. Yes
sir! And for your information, that ministry that the apostles were given
(along with Judas and the seventy) could be classified as “restoration of
the gifts.” You see, they were given gifts and power without character.

This is our
celebration and contribution. Now Pentecost boasts about the past hundred years
of achievement. She is very proud and boastful about all her achievements upon
the earth but the Bible declares her as being “wretched, miserable, poor,
blind and naked.” The worst shame that can come upon any human being is
nakedness. That was the death of the cross. Our Lord suffered the shame of the
cross.

The result of
1906 with all the revivals is recorded here in Revelation 3:14-22. This is the
result of that great Baptism, outpouring of the Spirit and all the gifts that
were manifested. It is recorded here in the Bible and it was recorded even
before they came into existence. By prophecy the Lord spoke about what would
happen to that great movement called ‘The Pentecostal Church’.
Beyond a shadow of a doubt, that was “Pentecostalism” identified as
“Laodicea.”
The prophet of God referred to them as “the Laodicean Pentecostal
Church of the end
time.”

See how merciful
God is that even when they reached into that condition, He sent them a
counselor. I believe that was very merciful because He knew that they did not
have the right Article to allow them to live above sin, sickness and demon
power. So when they got into that condition, because of their pride and their
boastings He sent them a counselor.

We could identify this Scripture when Pentecostal people
fulfilled this Scripture of Revelation 3:14-22. That did not happen today. No.
They got into that condition when the messenger brought the Word of God to
them. Because he, the messenger, was calling them, he was giving them counsel
to buy gold tried in the fire, white raiment that they may be clothed and to
anoint their eyes with eye salve. So now, this prophecy is directly connected
with the ministry of Brother Branham. William Branham fulfilled the Scripture
of Malachi 4:5-6.

Greatest
religious disgrace

Let me make this statement here concerning Pentecostalism on
the basis of Revelation 3:14-22. “Pentecostalism” has become the
greatest religious disgrace to the
Bible, to Christ, to Christianity as a whole in one hundred years of
Pentecostalism. That is Bible understanding of Pentecostalism. With all the
credit that was given to them throughout all the other messages—speaking
of the wonderful men that arose and the blessing that God blessed them with,
the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, the Outpouring of the Holy Spirit, great revival,
restoration of the gifts—these people at last became the greatest
religious disgrace to the Bible, to
Christ, to Christianity and to her own self in one hundred years of their
achievement. Now, don’t you underestimate that statement.

Much could be said about the disgrace of so-called
Pentecostalism, which you know has brought persecution upon true believers.
Lust for popularity, money, and immorality: they fulfilled all. Fanaticism,
impersonation, and don’t talk about begging for money! That’s one of the biggest disgrace and stumbling
blocks to unsaved people. That causes unsaved people who cannot divide right
from wrong, truth from error, just from the unjust to put all of God’s
servants in the end time here in one category. They put them in the category of
“money beggars,” “adulterers,”
“fornicators,” “liars” and “thieves,” that
it is so hard to identify yourself in public and claim that you are a preacher.
Every true man of God tries to dodge that, even because of the people’s
impression. From the time you say, “Preacher,” their minds go back
to the televangelists and the stories that they know about these evangelists
falling into immorality.

This is clearly recorded and it blends in with the prophecy
that was given here concerning Pentecostalism. So I am identifying
Pentecostalism in Revelation 3:14-22,
that they are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked. That puts them into
Satan’s Hall of Shame. They are a disgrace to the whole world, a disgrace to every true servant of God,
a disgrace to every true believer, a disgrace to God, a disgrace to Christ and
a disgrace to all the prophets and apostles that ever lived before and tried to
contend for righteousness, holiness, and the truth.

But there is a Church on its way today that will never be
in Satan’s Hall of Shame. And it is promised in Joel 2:23-26 that there is an army that God is going to restore and
she will never be ashamed because we are eating in plenty, and we are praising
the Name of the Lord and we shall never be ashamed. We will wipe away all the shame of the Bible,
all the shame from the Name of the Lord, all the shame from the name of
Christianity. Respect will be restored. Adoration and praises will be restored
to the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. We cannot leave this earth until that
shame is removed. How is that going to take place? Beloved, there will be
genuine gifts; there will be genuine Christians. Our words will never fall to
the ground. There will be no immorality, no sin. Whatever we say is going to
come to pass. We will have “Thus Saith the Lord,” or we would not
speak or move. There is a Super
Church coming on its way

Quote W.M.B.: 171-1In these last
days the true Bride
Church (Christ's seed)
will come to the Headstone, and she will be the super church, a super race, as
she nears Him. They in the bride will be so much like Him that they will even
be in His very image. This is in order to be united with Him. They will be one.
They will be the very manifestation of the Word of the living God.

…Those in
the bride do only His will. No one can make them do otherwise. They have 'thus
saith the Lord' or they keep still. They know that it has to be God in them
doing the works, fulfilling His own Word. He did not complete all His work
while in His earthly ministry so now He works in and through the bride.

She knows that, for it was not yet time
for Him to do certain things that He must now do. But He will now fulfill
through the bride that work which He left for this specific time. (Pergamean
Church – Age,
Church Age Book, Cpt.5).

That Super
Church that is coming in
the true Spirit of the Former and Latter rain and who has returned to Pentecost
will wipe away all the shame from the Bible.

Quote W.M.B.: 119 Oh, there
will be a true former and latter rain in the last days upon that little group
that come with Him on this little donkey, low and humble, no doubt or
denomination, crying, "Hosanna to the King that comes in the Name of the
Lord!" (What Is The Attraction On The
Mountain 65-0725e).

Money
begging

Now to prove that these people never did return to
Pentecost, neither did they have what they had on the day of Pentecost; they
ended up in Satan’s Hall of Shame.
That alone proves it, because it is a promise in Joel that when that latter
rain comes, “My people shall never be ashamed.” If a people arose
in 1906 that lived such a disgusted life and all are disgusted about their
money begging that was not Pentecost. Those preachers became millionaires and
billionaires without any shame. They beg without regard. Yes. Saying, ‘No
coins please.’ That went a little higher.

Our money in Trinidad the
dollar is red, and the next one is green and the next one is a little purple.
They will come to Trinidad and tell us,
“No red money. No green money. No black money.” Then they have a
line formed for blue, hundred dollars offerings, and they say, “All who
want to be in the blue line step across here.” More time is spent on
money begging on the radio and television than telling the people of their sins
and salvation.

I am ashamed as a preacher! I’m embarrassed as a
preacher! I go to certain places and that’s the last thing I want them to
find out, that I am a preacher. But brethren, sometimes they take notice of us
that we had been with Jesus and they point right out. They say,
“You’re a preacher!” Then I have to admit it, “Yes, I
am but I am not that kind you see on the television and heard on the radio,
friend. I am a true Bible preacher.” And they turn around and say,
“I could see that.” So there are people out there that are still
hungering and still thirsting for the Words of Life.

Do you know what the great fear of most of those people is? They are afraid to become church
members and be identified with the fanaticism that is around the world today.
They are so afraid that they will become deceived and fanatical.

It is proven by their fruits that 1906 Pentecost bears,
that could have never been original Pentecost. It shows that it never did go
back to the article that Peter, James and John had. It shows that it was an
article called “the Baptism of the Holy Spirit” and “the
outpouring of the Holy Spirit” without Christ-like character. The
disgrace that so-called Pentecost has become around the world proves that what
we had been preaching about in our first message, that 1906 claim of the
Baptism of the Holy Spirit and the return of Pentecost was “The Greatest Lie of the Twentieth
Century.” It was the biggest lie of the twentieth century that
“Pentecost did return.”

So the man called Lambert was right when he said that that
was the biggest lie ever told. He went further than me. He said,
“It’s the biggest lie ever told that Pentecost returned in
1906.” He said, “One of these days, I will preach that
message,” but he never got the chance to preach that message. Several
years ago, I preached that message, ‘The
Greatest Lie Ever Told.’ But then in his teachings, we can see many
statements that Brother Renner put together, where he actually preached that
right throughout his whole ministry that 1906 was the

greatest
lie ever told.

This disgrace that Pentecostalism entered into and found
themselves in Satan’s Hall of Shame proved our next message, ‘Power
Without Character is Satanic’, and that is what she had: Power
without character. It was the baptism of the Holy Ghost without a changed
nature. It was the baptism of the
Holy Spirit. Don’t ever deny that. It was the baptism of the Holy Spirit. It was an outpouring of the Holy
Spirit but without character, without a changed nature and the prophet already
declared that “Power without character is satanic.”

Quote W.M.B.: 117-1 A man without character can't reign because power apart from
character is Satanic. But power with character is fit to rule. (Smyrnaean Church Age - Church Age Book Cpt. 4).

These messages
are proving that statement that “Power apart from character is
satanic,” and Pentecostalism has become satanic. I will prove that as we
go along and I will show you how satanic that Pentecostalism has become.

It has proven
our statement, “Pentecostalism is built upon tongues but not the Rock revelation of Christ.” They live
every kind of immoral life that you could imagine: from fornication, adultery,
sodomy, incest and all kinds of wickedness. Then friends, as long as they speak
in tongues, they are sure that they have the baptism of the Holy Spirit and are
bound for the rapture. That is strong delusion.

It has proven
our statement, “The Spirit of the Lord, the Holy Ghost, falls upon the just and on the unjust.” Then we went back and picked out the history of the lives
of these men and it showed the kind of crimes that were committed. Now these
crimes have caused a terrible, terrible impression on the rest of the world
that you and I have to present this message to. We cannot do it without a
return of Pentecost. We cannot do it without sanctified and holy lives. We
cannot address the people of this world without the Power that the Lord is
going to bring to us and this Power must surpass the gifts of 1906. We will
have to move with the Power of the Spoken Word, which they will know is
different from what was manifested by Jannes and Jambres, who fought Moses
today.

That is why the
Lord must bring something greater and more powerful today to bring into
existence missing arms and legs, eyeballs and even teeth in your mouth! Such a
ministry even attracted science, according to the vision of the prophet.

Quote W.M.B.: 33-2 Said, "I looked down there and there was a whole lot of
scientists."…And he said, "Scientists there were pouring things
in tubes and mixing them." Said, "You stopped the horse, raised up
your hands and begin to scream: 'I'll ride this trail once more.'" Said,
"The whole earth shook. Them people shook," said, "looked up at
one another, like that, looked up to you, and just shrugged their shoulders,
and went on with their scientific research." (Knoweth It Not 65-0815).

Do you know how happy scientists would
be if they could make a leg? Not a wooden one, I am talking about, but one with
life in it. They reached as far as attaching back your arm but they don’t
know how to put real eyeballs back in your head, and real teeth back in your
mouth and make a leg. They could take one organ and transfer it over into
another fellow (heart, kidney and different things like that) but then with all
their scientific research and achievement, they cannot do that. When this
ministry goes out with a return of Pentecost and they see little sisters,
little fellows just stand up and say, “I give you your leg,” how
would science not be attracted?
“I give you your eyeball, Mister!” With all these other miracles,
they have to be attracted: not only science, but the rest of the world.

Brother Branham
said, “Signs and wonders and miracles are the bait to catch the
fish.” They come to the preacher for their healings and for different
reasons, and they see these signs and wonders and then they are converted.
Brother Bob said, “The greatest drawing
force in all the world is the power
of God through signs and wonders and miracles.” The greatest drawing
force! He said, “That if a few million people would be gathered today to
hear a man singing rock and roll music and a next million would be gathered to
see the pope, what about the gathering when the Power of God does come to the
church?”

I am saying,
brethren, if the world came to see the 1906 outpouring with the restoration of
the gifts, we are expecting a multitude
to come wherever that Outpouring of the Holy Spirit is outpoured. It is going
to be outpoured in one place and at one time and then go over to another place
and other places. Wherever that outpouring comes, people will be gathered by
the millions. It is going to come to pass; I believe it.

Apostolic fathers

Now,
I want to remind you here that the apostolic
fathers of original Pentecost never
did enter the Hall of Shame after they got the Article of Pentecost and after
their natures were changed. They never entered the Hall of Shame. There is not
a record in the Bible, no record in history where Peter ever fell in adultery.
That is foreign; that is foreign to the Bible; foreign to history. There is not
one place where Paul ever had to repent for sodomy. That sounds strange in your
ear because it is not in the Bible. We never read of it. We never read of
Peter, James, John or any of the Apostles ever living such a wretched life!
They were never one time found as child molesters. They had a clean record
because they had the Power of God that Joel spoke about:

“This is that which was spoken by the
prophet Joel… And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise
the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my
people shall never be ashamed.” (Acts
2:16-21, Joel 2:26-27)

So they did not
belong to Satan’s Hall of Shame, but there is a listing that I am going
to read to you of people that entered the Hall of Shame within these hundred
years of Pentecostalism.

This is taken,
and which title I borrowed from a website: “Hall of Shame for the
Self-Proclaimed.” I was glad to see that title. I said, “Yes,
certainly, certainly, it is
‘Satan’s Hall of Shame.’” So I am preaching on
“Satan’s Hall of Shame.” So, reading out of “Hall of
Shame for the Self- Proclaimed.”

I want to tell
you in advance that in all this collection, William Branham’s name is
nowhere. He was not even indicated as a smoker, as a drinker, as an adulterer,
as a fornicator, as a thief, as a liar or as a child molester or a man who has
defrauded people of their money. They dare not put him in the Hall of Shame
because he was not self-proclaimed. God proclaimed him as Elijah, the prophet
and he went right back to original Pentecost and had the correct Article.
Although they may be against him, they could not put his name here because
there is no record in history where this man ever lived a corrupt life. But I
believe they should be honest enough to say that he refused millions of
dollars and put in the good about a man called, William Branham.

Neither did the
apostles’ name enter this list.
I cannot find here anywhere Peter, James or John recorded here in this
Hall of Shame.

Below are some of the references, sources and links where
you could find some of the histories of some of these people.

I am going to
read just as they recorded here.

It says, “Mr. Bakker: Televangelist: adultery,
convicted of fraud, has repented and is back in the ministry and on
television.” They are in Satan’s Hall of Shame but they are
shameless. When they get like that, something is wrong with their heads. Now
this name is popular to us who are connected with the Scriptures. He was an
adulterer, convicted of fraud and he is back on the pulpit, preaching.

How could people
sit under something like that is beyond me. Something is wrong with their
appetites. Something is wrong with their desire for eternal life. You see why
people like to sit under preachers like that, is that they, themselves could
lead such lives. They love a false prophet who tells them to wear high heel
shoes, and to come to church with pants and come to church with shorts, as long
as you speak in tongues and pay your
tithes! That is the order of
Pentecostalism: pay your tithes and speak in tongues.

“Mr. P. Crouch: Made a settlement regarding a
plagiarism suit against his movie, without admitting to any wrongdoing.”

“Mr. M.
Gortner: Child evangelist and
a healer. He admitted to being a fake, left the ministry for secular
entertainment industry.” After this man was a child evangelist, he
admitted that he was a fake.

“Mr. Grant, Jr.: Evangelist healer. He had an “unbiblical divorce.
Convicted of tax fraud.” See? Thieves right behind the pulpit. Divorced
men.

“Mr. J.
Hagee:
Pastor, televangelist. Adultery, initiated and completed an unbiblical divorce
and remarriage.”

“Mr.
K. Hagin: Evangelist, healer, prophet, apostle.”  (Imagine that!) “Evangelist,
healer, prophet, apostle. Revealed as a plagiarist.” (A plagiarist is one
that takes other men’s ideas or writings, like how Pentecost stole the
truths from Brother Branham and tried to impersonate his gifts and pass it off
as their

own.)
This man impersonated the prophet: William Branham.

“Mr. J.
Jacobs: Founder of an extravaganza and
frequent host on TBN. Unbiblical divorce from the first wife. Unbiblical
marriage to a second wife, and consequent unbiblical annulment from that
marriage.” Ministers lives are messed up with all kinds of  marriage and divorce problems and these
men are on the pulpit.

“Mr. L.
Jenkins: Televangelist. Convicted for
arson and assault.” This man burned down somebody’s church or
somebody’s house. “Released from prison in 1984, and pardoned by
the state of South Carolina
in 1993. At 64 years of age, he married a 77-year-old millionaire sixteen days
after the death of her husband.” Sixteen days after the death of her
husband! “After the family protested and the court declared the woman
incompetent, the marriage was annulled.” This man married her money! Now that was a big thing.
Instead of collecting from the people five dollars and ten dollars, he went and
married the source! Sixteen days after this old woman’s husband died,
brethren, the man went and married this millionaire. Then the children took him
to court and the judge ruled that she was incompetent to make such a decision
to marry, because her head was not good. So he married a senile woman just for
the money. He married to the money.

“Mr. B. Jones:  City prophet. Confessed to sexual misconduct
1991.”

“K. Kuhlman: Evangelist, healer, pastor. Unbiblical divorce and
adultery.”

“Mr.
Liardon: Pastor, evangelist,
televangelist. The writer of books. Now the
whipping that this man should get, I don’t have the time today, but he
will get it shortly. He came against Brother Branham. After telling the people
what Brother Branham did in the most truthful way, he came against him and
passed judgment upon him, saying that “Brother Branham went off.”
He’s a writer. I got a book and I
recently started examining it. I tell you. This man wet his tongue upon
God’s prophet of the age. “He confessed to a homosexual
relationship with his associate youth pastor. After brief absence, is now back
in the ministry and the pulpit.” I want to remember the deeds of this man:
prating against the prophet of God with malicious words.

“Mr. C.
McClendon: Bishop, pastor, evangelist.
Completed an unbiblical divorce after sixteen years of marriage. He said,
‘I have a calling to preach, not to be married.’ Seven days after
the divorce was final, he married Priscilla Delgado.”

“Aimee: Evangelist, healer, pastor. Unbiblical divorce, faked
her own kidnapping, and a fornicator.”

“Mr. R. Mossholder: Marriage counselor. Unbiblical divorce, wanted
supporters to "forgive" him for his unbiblical divorce prior to
obtaining the divorce.

“Mr. Parham.”
That went back to 1906. They said here that he is a “teacher, charged
with sodomy. Racism: Azusa
Street Revival would take place in 1906. When Parham visited Seymour there, he denounced the revival as a
"darky camp meeting," saying, "God is sick at His stomach!"
and "what good can come from a self-appointed Negro prophet?

Another widespread belief relating to Parham's
racial attitudes is that he was a Klansman. According to written records,
Parham became a full member of the Klu Klux Klan during 1910, although this is
hotly debated by supporters of Parham, who contend the KKK didn't exist at this
time.”

“Patty: Singer, recording artist, adultery, unbiblical divorce
and remarriage, has expressed repentance through her church, and
publicly.”

“Mr. E. Paulk: Bishop, pastor, television personality. Adultery,
immorality.” That is what those revivals produced. This is proving to you
that was Power without character. This is proving to you that the rain was
falling upon the just and on the unjust. This is proving to you that
Pentecostalism was built upon tongues and not the Rock of Christ.

“Mr. Popoff: Evangelist, healer. He was a fake.
Used a radio device operated by his wife to be given information about the
disease of people he claimed to heal.” Now they tried to impersonate
Brother Branham’s discernment. So he set up a devise and let his wife
talk to the people concerning their disease, and then passed on the information
to him, so when they came before him, he will tell them about the disease.
Impersonator!

“Mr. Roberts: President of a University, healer,
televangelist.  Initiated and
completed an unbiblical divorce and remarriage.”

“Mr. Swaggart: Televangelist, adulterer. Caught
twice. Repented publicly twice.”

“Mr. Allen: Evangelist, healer. Alcoholic.
Arrested for drunk driving. Died of alcohol-related disease.” He lived in
the days of Brother Branham, and functioned during that time.

“Mr. R. Tilton: Prophet, pastor. Two unbiblical
divorces.”

For some reason, these people did not
record O. Roberts, and B. Graham, and A. Skinner, and different ones. I did not
see a record here of Vin
Dayal or Gan, which I will have to make for myself
because they are in the Hall of Shame, just the same. So these fellows are my
input into “Satan’s Hall of Shame,” and let history bear
record of this.

Mr. O. Roberts: Evangelist, healer, built schools of theology and a
hospital. His visions failed. He begged for eight million dollars and said that
if he didn’t get it, God would kill him. (Far as I am concerned, he was
going to die! He wasn’t getting one penny from me!) He became a New
Methodist several years ago. It was on a magazine together with B. Graham.

All right! Let
me tell you something about this. Brother Branham saw a vision of a preacher
making love to a dead woman.

VISION: PASTOR KISSING A WOMAN’S
CORPSE

Quote W.M.B.:
48-6   Out of there come the first
reformation, was Luther: organized and died. Next come Wesley: organized, died.
Next come Pentecost: organized and died. Presbyterian, Lutheran, all these others, and the Nazarene, Pilgrim
Holiness, and all these organizations that followed along like that, every one
died; Look at them. Why? They organize and that kills them. What did they do?
They take in these dogmas. You Nazarenes, a wonderful, the next church to the
coming up of Pentecost. What was it? You believe in sanctification, but when it come down to the
gifts of the Spirit, speaking in tongues, and the great powers of God, you
called it devils, and there you died. That's right. Where's she at today? Dead.
Oh, she's got more members, but where is she. She's a corpse. I seen her the other night.
That's right. The whole thing... Her pastor laying on top, kissing a corpse, making
love to it.
Said, "They ain't got no more time anyhow; this is all of it." So
I'll get it to you sometime on tape. See? All right. (Restoration Of Bride Tree 62-0422).

Do you know that
happens in the funeral homes? There are men working in funeral homes that are
responsible for bathing the dead and cleaning them. Brethren, it is around the
whole country in Trinidad and in many parts of
the world that these men live with the dead women. Now people
who know that, they do not want that kind of attention in the funeral home, no.
They want their own
families to come there and take care of them.  I believe we should give them that
honor.

Brother Branham
saw a preacher making love to a dead woman. I read that many years ago and I
wondered about that. I said, “Who is this preacher?” Brother Branham
refrained from calling his name. I will tell you something here now: the First
Martyr, your pastor, said that from the time Brother Branham said that,
something came to him and told him that was O. Roberts. I believe that he lived to see that fulfilled.

It was not long
after that O. Roberts went back to the Methodist Church
and started to make love with that “dead woman” who died just
before Pentecost. That man went from being a Pentecostal right back to the Methodist Church. To cover his shame, he called
himself “a New Methodist.” His power and gifts
left him soon after he contended with the prophet of God and he was forced to
build a hospital, and to build schools. All the miracles that you hear over the
radio are records of many years ago, way back in his early ministry. O. Roberts
is that man, proven to be the preacher, making love with a dead woman.

Mr. B. Graham. He was in the days of
the prophet. He claims to be an evangelist and “the voice of one crying
in the wilderness.” You heard it over the radio. Now, this fellow
possesses the highest qualification—after the Pope—in the
Catholic’s doctrine and he proclaimed that his teachings will make a
Catholic “a better Catholic.” This was on the magazines: he and O.
Roberts. O. Roberts, without any shame, had the Methodist banner with a
turned-back collar and they were side by side and the banner said, “New
Methodist.”

Brother Branham
connected these men with the World Council of Churches and proclaimed them to
be “Jannes and Jambres,” who would influence the Pentecostal world
with the rest of the Protestants to go back to Rome.

BILLY GRAHAM – ORAL ROBERTS

Quote W.M.B.: 44-3 Now, there has been three different kinds of seeds planted: A
denominational: Billy Graham; he was
a head planter. Oral Roberts for the
Pentecostal... Pentecostal seed's been planted. (I'm talking about organization
now.) And then the Word's been planted. Now, you'll have to understand, folks.
I ain't saying this no more 'less God tells me. I want you to get this good and
clear. Three seeds has been planted. (Spoken Word Original Seed 62-0318m)

Quote: 54-5 Jesus said that they would be so close that they would deceive the
very elected, if it was possible; but it ain't possible. That Seed's going to
fall there, because of it's predestinated to fall there. The seeds has went
forth. The denominations is sowed; the Word's been sowed. See? And Jannes and Jambres, they--them
people... The Bible said these devils would rise up in the last days and would
deceive the people by these miracles and signs that they could perform. How you
going to know the difference? The Word. (Spoken Word Original Seed
62-0318m)

Quote: E-67 Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the
Son of man." There was two Angels
went down to the Sodomites…Two Angels (Oral Roberts, and a Billy
Graham, as it would be in this day) went down there, and placed the Gospel
to them. What happened? A disgrace even come out of it. (End Time Sign Seed
62-0319).

A man came to Trinidad who was an impersonator of the gift Brother
Branham had in discerning. There is a big hall called, “Town Hall,”
which became “a hall of shame” for him.

This is an
eyewitness account of Brother Chandler, who now belongs to Bethel. He came to the hall and before all
those people, there was a Pentecostal revival going on, and he was
discerning.” (Now, Trinidadians will tell you what they have to tell you.
They are outspoken. “If you are upset, then please yourself.) “So,
this fellow was sitting in front there, and he pointed out to the man and said,
‘Sir, you are suffering from a stomach problem. Stand up!’ So the
fellow stood up. He said, ‘Who me, suffering with a stomach
problem?’ He said, ‘Yes, and you cannot eat your food
properly.’ He said, ‘Man, my stomach is so good that I could eat
you right now!’ Now you are talking about a hall of shame in front of all those people!

The gifts of
Brother Branham caused many impersonators from so-called Pentecost who tried to
impersonate that gift that God gave him. Now, this is the fanaticism that
actually accompanies Pentecostalism. Under no condition could that have been
the original Article.

So now here is
just a little thing that probably some of you may want to know concerning other
preachers, although they did not claim to be Pentecostals.

“Mr. G. Armstrong: televangelist, radio teacher, pastor, evangelist, radio teacher. Multiple adulterer. Admitted that by
1972, he had illicit relations with two hundred women. The number was
much greater by the date of his death in 2003. Claimed his
‘calling’ to the ministry from the womb exempted him from Biblical
accountability.”

His calling from
the womb exempted him for giving account of breaking the Word!

“Mr. H. Armstrong.: apostle,
prophet, pastor, televangelist, radio teacher. Incestuous relationship
with daughter, alcoholic, false prophet, plagiarist. Never admitted publicly to
misconduct.”

You are talking
about false prophets around the world in sheep clothing. You hear their voices
over the radio, brethren, I tell you, they could talk like Lucifer himself.

And last but not
least, the Catholic Church: claims
to be the “true” church.
Allowed hundreds of priests to serve
while they sexually abused children and did not report the incidents to the
police.

Now but this
gives you a brief outlook into Pentecostalism and beyond, and it shows us that
we are on the right track. It goes to show that the messages that you have
heard, ‘The Greatest Lie of the
Twentieth Century,’ ‘Power Without Character,’ ‘Built
Upon Tongues But Not the Rock,’ ‘The Spirit Upon the Just and the
Unjust,’ are right, crowned off temporarily today by, ‘Satan’s Hall of Shame.’
All these people are in Satan’s Hall of Shame.

How professed
Christians come to such shame

Now
I will try to better your understanding again and reconfirm to you how such
things could happen for one hundred years to people who claim to be Christians,
preaching the Bible with tears in their eyes. No one could have cried like Mr.
J. Swaggart: kneeling down in front of the congregation. Brethren, they pray
like an archangel and if you would look just from your mental understanding,
you will never think that those men could be living such nasty lives but it
happens. I base my understanding upon Matthew 10, like I preached to you, “The Spirit of the Lord falling upon
the Just and the Unjust.”

So this is a
picture that we could put back in the Bible. We had a man who was sharing in
the restoration of the gifts in the
days of Jesus. A man who was anointed by the Spirit. The Holy Ghost was
outpoured upon them and the Spirit fell upon the just and the unjust. I believe
Peter, James, John and all those other men were just.  In other words, they meant to serve God
in Spirit and Truth and they were predestinated from the foundation of the
world. But then, my Friends, when our Lord came during that time, He called both
the just and the unjust and poured out this blessing upon them. Again I
re-emphasize that the seventy, together with the twelve, received the Power of
God without the virtues, without
Christ-like character. These people’s natures were not changed and their
natures and character not being changed—“Power apart from character
is satanic.” In other words, it could fail and Satan could use the
individual because they have no keeping
power inside.  They have to
fight harder to keep themselves by that anointing. Judas came from hell and he
went back to hell.

John 17:12 <While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those
that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of
perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.>

All right!  This is a clear picture here of the
seventy and a clear picture of Judas who received that Power, operated the
gifts, maybe cried like a baby, like you saw “Judas” here for many
years weeping and crying. He was the number one suspect of committing that
horrible crime of bloodshed. Who could have ever discerned that man would be
guilty of such a thing? But the anointing was falling upon him. Some probably
do not understand how the pastor stood right behind the pulpit and said that he
was “a spiritual man.” Definitely, he was a spiritual man! What do
you think the devil uses, a dull axe somewhere?  In order to bring deception, the devil
uses a spiritual man.

Was Judas a
spiritual man?   Sure, he was a
spiritual man.  He was so spiritual
that the other apostles dared not ask Jesus if the betrayer was Judas. They
would rather blame themselves first than blame Judas Iscariot because the man
had some spirituality about him.

I am saying that
Mr. Roberts, Mr. Graham and Mr. Parham were spiritual; they were anointed. Mr.
Seymour, Mr. Swaggart and all those fellows that we read about were spiritual.
Friends, all “spiritual” people are not ordained to Life.  All “spirituals” are not
going to heaven.  God could use a
man to do signs, wonders and miracles and then if he doesn’t have his
nature changed, these things could befall him. The only way that nature will be
changed is that you have to be deadly honest with God, deadly honest after
eternal life, deadly honest to serve the Lord; you have to be hungering and
thirsting after righteousness and then you will be filled. I tell you, we
better be honest with God.

Could have 1906
baptism, fulfill Hebrews 6 And perish

Now
after that great revival that Jesus blessed them with, (He blessed them with an
outpouring, blessed them with the baptism and blessed them with gifts) it was
possible that Judas and the seventy entered Satan’s Hall of Shame.  Judas went back to the Pharisees; he
sold the Lord for thirty pieces of silver, he fulfilled Hebrews 6 and was eternally
lost after all of that revival and baptism of the Holy Ghost.  The prophet was right, then?  He said,

Quote W.M.B.: 162 … many of you think, "I got the baptism of the Holy
Ghost; I'm going to heaven." That don't mean one thing that you're going
to heaven. No, sir. You can have the baptism of the Holy Ghost every hour in
your life and still be lost and go to hell. The Bible says so. See? It's
exactly right. (Leadership 65-1207)

And this was
proven in Judas right here and many thousands that were not recorded in the
Bible. Although he returned the silver, it did not help him because he had
crossed the line. “A man with the baptism of the Holy Spirit like they
received in 1906 blasphemed, Brother Bruce?” Yes, Jesus confirmed that he
came from hell and went back to hell as the son of perdition.”

Preachers, don’t boast yourself outside there that you accepted the prophet,
accepted the message and you have no need of another outpouring of the Holy
Spirit. What you have is able to cause you to sell the message for a farthing,
for a mini-dress, for money, women or popularity and find your soul in
hell!  I don’t doubt that you
have the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I don’t doubt you have that
outpouring. I don’t doubt that you could work some signs and wonders but
friends, the prophet of God said that you could have that every hour of your
life and be lost and go to hell, so don’t boast yourself. I am saying,
and we are saying and Brother Branham is saying that the Token is required or you will perish!  With all that you have, the Token is
required or you will perish.

Judas - as those
with 1906 baptism, in Satan’s
Hall of shame

Now,
look at Satan’s Hall of Shame here: Judas, a man that did all what Mr.
Roberts, Mr. Allen, Mr. Swaggart and others did, throughout one hundred years
(and even more than that), sold the Word for thirty pieces of silver.  He blasphemed his way and even returned
the silver, trying to repent just like Esau but found no place of repentance.  He went out and disgraced himself by
hanging himself and his bowels gushed out.
The money that he made for selling out the Word of God bought a
potter’s field, which is called “The Field of Blood.”

I am citing this
man here who shared in the first revival before the Outpouring came on the day
of Pentecost. He represents many of the people that came down through the
hundred years and were attached to Pentecostalism. I am not saying all of them because the just and the
unjust were involved. So now the unjust coming down the road shared in the same
Power, signs, wonders and Outpouring but there were those present that came
from hell and were used of the devil to stumble millions of people from
receiving salvation and they are going to account for that before the White
Throne Judgment and their souls are in hell today. Think of it.

Now, let me
speak against the apostles just a little bit to show and prove my point here on
Satan’s Hall of Shame. Now while the apostles had an outpouring, which I
am calling “the baptism,” and they worked signs and wonders, there
came a time when the great temptation came, they fled naked.  Satan had them in his Hall of Shame temporarily. Is that right? In that
Hall, while Peter was warming himself with the enemy’s fire, the man cursed, swore and denied the
Lord.  He was in Satan’s Hall
of Shame temporarily. But I will tell you this: when the outpouring came upon
those same apostles, brethren, they came out of that hall and they never
re-entered Satan’s Hall of Shame because they had the victory.

And you might do
certain things that bring shame upon you. True believers might do certain
things today that bring shame upon them but friends, you don’t have to
stay there because we have a Promise. Right now, your natures could be changed.
God has a Promise and He said that if you go after that Promise you will never
ever be ashamed.

100 YEARS OF
PENTECOSTALISM – GREATEST STUMBLINGBLOCK

Those
with the 1906 outpouring and baptism of the Holy Spirit ended up in
Satan’s Hall of Shame. Pentecostalism became the greatest stumbling block
and the greatest disgrace upon the earth today. They are stumbling millions of
people and I will venture to say, billions. People don’t want to hear
anything about “a church”; people don’t want to hear anything
about “a preacher”; and people don’t want to hear anything
about “a Bible” after this display of Pentecostalism. What I am
saying and read to you is not even one
percent of the wickedness that came out of so-called Pentecostalism. The
amount of wickedness that Pentecostalism is responsible for, only eternity will
unfold.

Let us put in
another pebble here. I have proven that the 1906 experience could not have been
a return of Pentecost. No, no, no! It was a Baptism of the Holy Spirit without
a changed nature. I have proven to you that even the genuine apostles that had
not gone up to Pentecost, Satan made them ashamed so that when the temptation
came, they fled naked, denied, cursed and swore! They were never strengthened
until they went back to Pentecost. Now we are heading there. We must go back to
Pentecost, receive this outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the Latter Rain if we
would not be ashamed.

That is why
shame comes out of the congregation. Young women who were born and grown up in
the House of God, because they would not seek God and hold to the vision of the
coming Promise, will just get so weak that they just go out into the world and
let any man use them and kick them out, whether they have AIDS or not!  Now that is a horrible thing. That goes
to show that you had not been doing your home lesson and you were not living
under the anointing of the Lord. Young men have done the same thing and it goes
to show that they were not under the anointing of the Lord. You got to have a
revelation and that revelation is your victory.

BAPTISM (POWER)
WITH AND WITHOUT VIRTUES (CHRIST-LIKE CHARACTER)

So
there is a baptism of the Holy Spirit without
Christ-like character and without the virtues. Hear what the prophet of God
said on “Blasphemous Names.”

Quote W.M.B.: 21-2 Now, you say,
"Brother Branham, should we speak with tongues?" Absolutely, that's
gifts of God. But those gifts of God without
these virtues in them, makes a stumbleblock to the unbeliever. It's not accepted by God. (Blasphemous Names 62-1104m).

Now Brother
Branham was fully conscious of what was going on and knew that you could speak
in tongues and do all the signs and wonders but if you are not built up right
from a changed nature, coming up with faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance,
patience, godliness and brotherly kindness, that those gifts becomes a
stumblingblock to people, even because you do it with an unchanged nature; you
do it with an evil nature inside of you and you could use those gifts to make
money. That is what they use that for. They use that for popularity and to
seduce women. So, “Power apart from
character is satanic,” just like the prophet of God said.

Quote W.M.B.: 117-1 A man without character can't reign because power apart from
character is Satanic. But power with character is fit to rule. (Smyrnaean Church Age – Church Age Book
Cpt.4)

Power without
character

When
they do those miracles and signs, people have confidence in them, then they
build a big organization.

Could you
imagine that man there went with two hundred women and by the time of his death in 2003, that must have
multiplied. Where is his soul today? “Televangelist,” they said.
Now that gives you a picture of “power without character.”

When you talk
about these politicians in different parts of the world that receive power to
rule a country, they do not have the character of Christ and that is why they
butcher their own people, like the man called Idi Amin. Because he was
overthrown, he and his soldiers cut off the people’s legs and hands, took
poles and stuck them from behind, put them up on those poles and left the
people to die for miles along the road when he was making his escape from the
country. That is a display of power
without character.

It only happened
that that is “political power” but this here is “religious
power,” but the man is evil in his nature in any case. So instead of
cutting off the people’s legs, they cut out their souls and send them to hell. Which is worst? You deceive the
people, tell them that they could wear high heeled shoes, they could come to
church with pants as women. “Adultery and fornication are nothing. You
just have to repent and come back, as long as you pay your tithes and speak in
tongues.” You are a deceiving hypocrite! You are a liar. You are still in
your evil nature and your soul is unjust! You deceived those poor people.

But there was a
man who was not like that and his name was William Branham. He was of a
different spirit, even like Joshua and Caleb and his mind was on a Promise to
come.

Oh my, I hope
that you are learning. I see you are meditating. As long as your minds are here
and I could see you concentrating on the Word and receiving it, I don’t
care about the “Amen’s.” No. I just want to get that
fellowship in the Spirit and this morning I have that fellowship in the Spirit.
Everybody is just meditating,
learning and taking these things into their souls, and you marvel at the
perfection of God’s Word.

So, these are
the things that we just read about in the histories and what we read about
during the week that could happen. Why? It is because they had the outpouring;
they had a revival; they had the baptism but without character. The only reason
that Brother Branham could have said that you could have this article every
hour of your life and go to hell is that he knew very well that their nature
was not changed. Brother Branham said:

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).

Brother Branham
came right back there and said, “If
a man is born again he is eternal as God is eternal, and as God cannot be lost
so that man cannot be lost.”

Quote W.M.B.: E-19 That's the reason it's totally impossible for any persons to ever
be saved outside of the new birth, because men are borned again of the Spirit
of God and become a part of God. Their existence is eternal as God is eternal. "They can never perish," Jesus said. "No one can pluck them from My
hand. They are of the Father Divine, and there's no one can take them or
separate them, for they are a part of God." (Life 57-0602).

Quote: E-20 Eternal Life is the Life of God. And when the man is borned again,
he becomes a part of God and is absolutely imperishable. "He that heareth
My words and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath Eternal, Everlasting Life, and
shall never come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto Life."

We become a part of God, because we're
borned of Him, and the Spirit of God that dwells in us is immortal. It has no
beginning and it'll have no end. (Faith Once Delivered To The Saints
57-0610).

Quote: 6 That's why the borned again Christian has never an end, because he
has Eternal Life. And Eternal Life is a part of God's Own Life, for God is
eternal. And the same word, Greek word "Zoe" that says "God's
Life," when Jesus speaks and said, "I give unto them Eternal
Life," that same word is used again. Therefore, a man being borned again,
his spirit has been changed, and he becomes a part of God; insomuch that he is
a son of God. And he's just as eternal as God is eternal, because he's a part
of God, by his birth, spiritual birth. (Handwriting On The Wall 58-0108).

That’s
the purity of the real birth by the incorruptible seed; that is a different
article.

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.>

Beloved,
if you have that new birth in your bosom, rest assured that you will come to
perfection. You don’t have to manufacture wool. The sheep bears wool. Have faith in God. Yes.
When we speak of perfection, it looks impossible but friends, get that new
birth down on the inside. “Brother Bruce, How do I know that I am born
again?” Faith is the born again experience.

Quote W.M.B.: 18-2 Notice: you must be borned again. And when you're born again, you
can't be born again without having faith. That's right. So, you see on my
chart here, I got the very foundation. Faith is the foundation of all of it.
(Stature Of A Perfect Man 62-1014m)

Judas spirit
– loved money

You
cannot doubt that message; you have no questions about it; you have no
questions about the prophet; you have no questions about that man that is
preaching the truth to you and you have no questions on these articles that are
brought out to you. You just believe them!

They becomes
such a part of you that they are just the abcs; they are just the common things
because you believe. But when you are a skeptic
of the Word and you could hear that Word, one year, two years, five years, six
years, seven years, ten years and you still have to watch and see if the
preacher is a false prophet or if he is after your money or after your daughter
or after this or after that, you are a dead hypocrite and you may be a Judas.
That is hard language, but it is the truth.

Check
the scriptures on Judas’ life. Though he worked signs and wonders and
miracles, he was a man that hated Jesus, was jealous over Jesus and was trying
to find fault with Him. When that alabaster box of ointment came into the
picture and His feet were being anointed, he started to grumble that the
ointment could have been sold and the money given to the poor. He got so
“righteous.” (John 12:4-6) The Bible said, “Not that he cared
for the poor, but he was a thief.” That is why many of these Pentecostal
preachers are thieves; they defraud people; they beg for money and solicit
money illegally from the people. Some of them went to jail for it, even because
they had Judas’ spirit and yet they had gifts of the Spirit; they had the
baptism; they had that Outpouring and they were in a revival. It is the same
Judas spirit. Judas shared in the first revival but there was a second revival
coming and he did not make his way up to Pentecost.

Quote W.M.B.: 115-55 Judas Iscariot was justified when he believed on the Lord Jesus
Christ and accepted Him as his personal Saviour: Judas Iscariot. Judas Iscariot was sanctified in John 17:17 and was given power in Matthew 10 to go out and cast out devils. And Judas
Iscariot come back, after he healed the sick and cast out devils, and he come
back rejoicing and shouting just as much as any good holy-roller you ever seen.
Is that right? The Bible said so. But when he come to Pentecost, he showed his
colors. Now, watch that spirit. (Questions And Answers 54-0103e).

Quote: 311-2 Judas hanged himself and his spirit went back to Satan, but after
Pentecost that same spirit that was in Judas came back to the false vine that
grows right along with the true vine. But notice, Judas' spirit never got to Pentecost. It never went
up to receive the Holy Spirit. It could not. But what did that Judas spirit go for? It went for the
bag of gold. How it loved money. It
still loves money. If it goes about in the Name of Jesus doing mighty things
and holding great meetings, it still makes more of money and buildings, and
education and everything with a material concept. Just watch that spirit that
is upon them and don't be fooled. (Philadelphian Church
Age - Church Age Book Cpt.8).

If
you have a thieving spirit, a spirit that defrauds people, collects their money
as a debt collector, then spends it and has them crying for their money, get
that fraudulent spirit out of you! It does not matter who you are. It will stop you
from receiving the Token. If you
borrow from your brother and refuse to repay him, and “dance him
around” for that money for years, you have a fraudulent spirit. Judas had
that fraudulent spirit. Having that fraudulent spirit, the Bible said that he
stole that which was in the bag. Could you imagine something like that? (I
cannot get this over!) Here you see a man raise the dead that was stinking and
rotten for four days. He gave you a little place in the church. He entrusted
you with the money bag and this man would take out money from the bag and put
in his pocket. What a devil! He had to come from hell and he went back to hell!

How
could you betray the confidence of Almighty God in you, the very Messiah that
the world looked for, for four thousand years? You were given that privilege to
sit and eat with the Messiah, sleep with the Messiah and preach with the
Messiah. You have to be a nasty hypocrite; you had to have fallen lower than
any man upon the earth. It has got to be an Esau; it has got to be Cain’s
seed.

People
do not appreciate the labors of a
man preaching the Word, trying to redeem them, trying to bring them to Christ,
trying to offer eternal life to them because of the hypocrisy that is in their
hearts. Such people are not fit to live upon the face of the earth, and then
will rise up and speak evil of that servant of God, run down his name, stick a
dagger in his back, blame him for all kinds of things that he never done. Woe be unto that person today. That man
blamed our Lord then; he was jealous over Him. “This ointment could have
been sold and the money given to the poor.” But what it was, is that he
wanted more money in the bag so he could steal a bigger amount. He had his
hidden agenda.

Think of that
man for a moment. Think of that hypocrite. Do you know that there are hypocrites that are worse than that
today and they were found under Brother Branham’s ministry? They stole
Brother Branham’s tent and sold it. Brother Branham had a great big crowd
waiting on him to preach the Gospel and to manifest gifts of the Spirit. After
having this big crowd, preachers held Brother Branham in a room and another one
went up to the pulpit and said, “I am sorry that the meetings must be
cancelled, but something happened that Brother Branham could not show up here
today,” and dismissed all those people!

Quote W.M.B.: E-7 So then they discussed it a little while. And then the first thing
you know I started to go out into the audience, and they had me outside before
I could get into the audience... And I heard them announce that I wasn't there.
And I had a brother that'd been sick or something another.

… And I was setting in the room waiting to be called... Then they said
that I wasn't there. And then I said, "Oh, that's misrepresenting something."
You see? I said, "Someone ought to say that that's different."
(Exploits Of Faith 53-1213e)

This is what
so-called Pentecostalism produced. These are the kinds of people that were
around Brother Branham. They are worse than Judas Iscariot.

I
compliment Judas Iscariot because the man was convicted in such a way that he
brought back the silver, threw it there and said, “I have betrayed the
innocent blood; forgive me.” Beloved, but when a man crosses that
borderline of repentance, there is no mercy, just like Esau, trying to find
repentance with tears and found it not. A man could say what he wants to say
but not for how long he wants to. There comes a time that after blaspheming and
opening up your mouths and siding with the Judases, siding with offenders,
siding with people that hate the ministry and hearing the wrong things, you
will speak the last word, and then the Lord says, “That is enough. I cut
you off.” There is no more repentance for you. If you hear His Voice,
harden not your heart, for the Spirit of God shall not always strive with man. (Hebrews 3:15, Genesis 6:3)

When you start
getting on that side of the Gospel, it brings fear. I respect God, brethren,
and I know you do. You respect the Word, otherwise you would not be here for
all the decades. Young little fellows that came in many years ago are now
grandfathers. God blessed us. We do not have that kind of spirit and it is
strange when we see those things. It sounds strange that the hearts of men will
be in that condition. How that Judas could sit there, see all those miracles
and signs and wonders (and even did some of them) and turned right around and
contemplate selling out the Messiah (“Let him go and
die.”–Die! I am talking about) for thirty pieces of silver.

I
still have to compliment him; the man had some kind of conscience that
remained. After he done what he done, he came and brought back the money and
said, “I have betrayed the innocent blood.” and went out and hung
himself. (He could not live with that guilty conscience.) His belly burst and
his bowels gushed in Satan’s Hall of Shame. (Acts 1:18).
His soul entered into hell and it is there for the past two thousand years. Can
that money buy him out of hell?  No,
friend. “What shall a man give in exchange for his soul?”

That
is what I was preaching to that man about yesterday for one and a half hours. I
said, “What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and suffer the
loss of his soul? No matter what it takes, give up everything in this life and
gain eternal life!” That is the picture that each one of us should have
here, otherwise you could not follow on with this. That is what keeps us going,
brethren. The most important thing in this life is eternal life. Believe
Brother Bruce. Your money will pass away;
your house will pass away; lands will pass away; your pride will pass away;
your education will pass away; whatever you achieve upon this earth will pass
away; and if you have too much money in the bank, the Pope is going to take it;
the mark of the beast will come down and they will take it away from you. I say
to put your whole interest in the Word of God and eternal life. Choose the way
of God’s despised few. Oh my! Deceit
is a horrible thing. Betrayal is a horrible thing.

Revival after
revival, from 1906 onwards

Now let me put a little something in here.
The 1906 revival was not the only revival. We have had several revivals coming
up. When one man went off the scene, God raised up another one after a few
years. As he raised up these men with a revival, it was the same situation, it
was the same kind of Outpouring that came in 1906. That revival came for both
the just and the unjust. After a while, the revivalist then passed off the
scene and the people built an organization from it. Then when they organized,
they died. Then a little while after God raised another revivalist. Raising up
these men, from there, other men would go out with healing, signs and wonders,
and then after a while, the people would build another organization.

So now that
happened from 1906 and it came right up unto a man called Brother F. F.
Bosworth. Now that was a gentleman. That man was responsible for the Assemblies
of God and a lot of his ministry was to overseas mission. Then when that man
heard Brother Branham, he surrendered and spent the rest of his life with
William Branham and supported him in every way. Brother Branham really loved
that man. He was preaching the Gospel long before Brother Branham started.  When Brother Bosworth was dying, Brother
Branham related that he was on his death bed calling names of brethren whom he
had led to the Lord saying, “Happy to meet you, Brother So-and-so. Happy
to meet you, Brother
So-and-so.” He was crossing over from this life and that happened maybe
for an hour or more. He just greeted the brethren who were in that dimension,
then he passed on with the Lord. Brother Branham had all good things to say
about Brother Bosworth, though Brother Bosworth was wrong in some doctrines.
But Brother Branham knew that he had the Baptism; he knew that Bosworth was a
gentleman and he loved the Lord. He never contended with Bosworth on doctrine
because that is how far Brother Bosworth could have served Christ.  He was a sincere man.

Quote
W.M.B.: 223 Brother Bosworth, I'll meet
you in a better land where you'll not be old anymore, but young." …
two hours before he died… He'd been laying, sleeping. He raised up; he
looked, and he jumped up from his bed. He said, "Mother, well, I haven't
seen you for years. Dad, Brother Jim, why," said, "let's see, you was
one of my converts to the Lord at Joliet,
Illinois." He'd been dead
for fifty years. See? "Yes." He said, "Here's Sister So-and-so.
Yes, I led you to the Lord at the Winnipeg
meeting. Yeah. Why, here's Sister So-and-so. I haven't seen you... Yeah, see,
you come to the Lord at so-and-so." And for two straight hours he shook
hands with ones that he'd led to the Lord, walked right back to his place, and
laid down, crossed his hands, and that was it… God rest his soul. And may I ever live so faithful that I'll enter that
land. (Manifested Sons Of God 60-0518).

So,
this is vital here, that the revival fires went on from 1906 periodically. It was not many years,
until 1933, when the Lord started to use the prophet. Now if you notice that
even after 1933, in 1936, when Brother Branham met the “Oneness”
people, the revival was still going on from 1906 Pentecost. He ran along with
that and preached to the people, and called the people to that same 1906
anointing, Baptism and everything like that. He was practicing divine healing
and doing the work of an evangelist.

Father of second
wave & last revival – w. m. branHam

Now
something different happened in 1946.
An angel visited the earth and a new revival broke with a deeper anointing, greater signs, greater wonders and that is at the
end of the Second World War. Everything was working together to fulfill
Scriptures. Friends, I had just been born, so I did not know anything about it
but, thank God that I could look back now and see why that Prophet had such a
great revival and I could be a part of this thing today (and we are all
thankful, Brethren.) An angel came down from heaven and broke a revival. I am
here to tell you today that revival was the last revival for that era.
From 1906, that was going to be the last revival but it came with a deeper
anointing.

That
is where Oral Roberts arose, and Bosworth shared in that, T.L. Osborne and
several others. They were in that era. When Brother Branham came out with that
revival, he recognized all those men as servants of God, (I read it here)
“Filled with the Holy Ghost, having the baptism of the Holy Ghost.”
While Brother Branham recognized that they had the baptism of the Holy Spirit,
they were preaching Trinitarian
doctrine; they were allowing women to preach; and they were building Bible Schools
and organizations. Now, “Why did you say that, Brother Bruce?” I
said that to show you that that baptism of the Holy Ghost was salvation for
that time to the just and was Power to the unjust also.

So
when this revival broke in 1946, I am saying to the whole world that Brother
Branham had the genuine article of
Pentecost but the rest of the preachers did not have that because there was not
an outpouring of the Holy Spirit as in Acts 2, in all the outpourings from 1906
right up to 1946. There was not a return of Pentecost, not even under Brother
Branham. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit never returned under Brother
Branham’s ministry. What he had was a great gift of divine healing that
brought the world to America
and the tabernacle there for a long time. Then Brother Branham was sent to the
World in 1946 and it shook the world seven times. Brother Branham was called
“the father” of that revival.

1000 EVANGELISTS HONOURED W.M. BRANHAM’S INFLUENCE ON
HEALING MOVEMENT

“William Marrion Branham (April 6,
1909, Kentucky
– December 24,
1965) was an influential Bible minister…Branham
is considered by many to have initiated
the faith healing
movement that began in 1947…
Branham is often mentioned as the leader
or first revivalist preacher of the second wave of Pentecost that swept the
country after World War Two (the first wave being Parham, Seymour, and
others).” (From Wikipedia, the
free encyclopedia)

“The person universally acknowledged
as the revival’s ‘father’
and ‘pacesetter’ was William Branham. The sudden appearance of his
miraculous healing campaigns in 1946 set off a spiritual explosion in the
Pentecostal movement which was to move to Main
Street, U.S.A.,
by the 1950s and give birth to the broader charismatic movement in the 1960s,
which currently affects almost every denomination in the country. ...
‘Branham filled the largest stadiums and meeting halls in the
world.’... As the pacesetter
of the healing revival, Branham was the primary source of inspiration in the
development of other healing ministries. He inspired hundreds of ministers to
enter the healing ministry and a multitude of evangelists paid tribute to him
for the impact he had upon their work. As early as 1950, over 1,000 healing
evangelists gathered at a Voice of Healing [the name of Branham’s
magazine] convention to acknowledge the profound influence of Branham on the
healing movement" (Dictionary of
Pentecostal and Charismatic Movements 1988, p. 372.)

Healing and TENT
REVIVAL

Brother
Branham was called “the father” of that revival. He spearheaded
that revival and even the Pentecostal history now documented him as the father
of that revival, and that was the time that a lot of tent meetings started. So
now, tents started going out and Brother Branham, himself had a small tent
during that time and all those other evangelists followed him and started
building tents. That was your great tent revival. This was a tent revival. So
now, Brother Branham started the great tent revival. This is going to run for
about fifteen years, from 1946 right down to 1962.

Now
what is going to happen now? Jack Coe, who was one of Brother Branham’s
converts, with all what he done and the different ideas of believing that the
doctors are “the Mark of the Beast,” Brother Branham never
contended with them. He knew their status and he went along with them. He was
projecting divine healing. It was a revival of healing that went around the
world and these are the men who jumped on the bandwagon, together with the just and the unjust and came under
Brother Branham’s ministry. So that was the age. This was the last
revival to take place, which was under Brother Branham’s ministry. So
that went on for fifteen years and Brother Branham spearheaded that. Some
evangelists like F. F. Bosworth and a few others joined Brother Branham.

Quote W.M.B.: 753-41 Now, I believe with all my heart that the Lord has helped me and
has used me to spearhead a great revival, one of the greatest that's ever
struck the world since the early days, across the world. We know that. That's
right. (Taking Sides With Jesus 62-0601).

1906 baptism
continued under the message and w.m.b.’s revival

This
is going to be important outside
there. Africa, India, Philippines,
listen to Brother Bruce. When Brother Branham started that revival of divine
healing, he was working with the people with this same Baptism from 1906. He
was imparting to the people the
Baptism of 1906 and people who started following the message had the baptism
from 1906, brought over from Pentecostalism. Yes, and at the end of that
revival, Brother Branham said,

Quote W.M.B.: 20-5 See, that stinking dead man was the only thing he'll point his
fingers to of his success of forty years of training: a stinking Egyptian
laying there rotten and dead. That's about the way it is tonight. The only
thing we can point to Luther...?... died to crossed over so...?... is a
stinking bunch of church members that knows no more about God than a Hottentot
would know about a Egyptian night. That's right. That would tell them about the
Word of God. They say, "I don't believe that. I don't care what you say; I
don't believe it." That's an awful thing to have to point back to. For all
the strains and struggles and everything we got. (Paul A Prisoner Of
Christ  63-0717).

Quote: E-8 See, we had a revival, lasted for years. History shows that a man,
an evangelist, usually his best part is his first three years, and after that
he lives on the reputation of what he preached in them three years. And then, a
revival doesn't last very long. But this has been going for some fifteen years,
'cause it's the last revival, I believe, and we're right at the end time. I
believe the next will be pulling the church, the elect, from the groups and
taking them together, and away It'll go. And so, we're looking for that to
happen. (Perseverant  62-0719e).

Quote: 78 And history only shows a revival only lasts not over three years at
the most. And we had one in this last day now, for about fifteen years that
revival fires struck across the world. (Calling Jesus On The Scene
63-0804e).

So that was the
last revival in the Pentecostal era. From 1906 right up to 1962, that put an
end to that revival. Now from the time that happened, the tents disappeared and
do you know what happened? All those preachers went to television. So that is
where your televangelists came in.

Quote W.M.B.: 43-3 Why then has the revival fires let up? You don't hear very much more of Billy Graham, like great
evangelists. Oral Roberts is not burning the country like he used to. My
meetings is not even heard of. There's just three. What's the matter?

…Now, Billy Graham... The world was
a-burning here not long ago with Billy Graham. You very seldom here of it now.
He's still going, but what's the matter? Oral Roberts, why, just burning the
earth up: dying down. Tommy Osborn, all of them are good godly men. What's
a-happened? Believing that God called me for a ministry, what's happened to
mine?

…You say, "Brother Branham, yours
is deadest of all of them." That's true. That is right. Billy Graham's
more heard of than I am, and Billy's more heard of than Oral. Oral's more heard
of in one day than I am in six months. Tommy Osborn, Tommy Hicks, any of those
godly men, they're more heard of. So as far as that turns, mine's farther away
than all of them. (Spoken Word Original Seed 62-0318m).

Quote: E-64 You don't hear very much of Billy Graham no more, do you? What
about Oral? What about the rest of them? You know the great revival fire's not
burning. (End Time Sign Seed 62-0319).

Quote: 253-2 {182} Now, that's what's the reason today that 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--she was dead. (The Third Seal 63-0320).

Quote: 1158-Q-386    386.
Brother Branham, what seems to be wrong in the day when we are living, of being
a believer and following the Message and messenger of today, when you cannot
seem to pray like you would like to?

That's a good question. I believe brother,
sister, ever who asked it, it's a cause of the conditions of time. The revival
is over. The revival has lasted some fifteen years, never did last before over
about three years. I believe it's received its last revival. And I believe
that's why you can't pray and feel in the Spirit like you used to. It's because
the revival fires has gone out. (Questions And Answers 64-0830e).

Quote: 718-152 And the revival is over, and America has turned down her
opportunity."…What's the matter with the people? What's happened to
the revival? What's happened to Billy Graham, Oral Roberts, the rest of them?
Where is the revival going on? It's finished. The smoke is done settled up. The
seeds are sowed. The meeting is over. The fires are burnt down. (In the old
temple of Rome,
in Vesta, when the fires went out the merchants went home, at the altars.) Now,
we see the revival is not on. It isn't the enthusiasm. (Questions And
Answers 62-0527).

EvangelistS lost
their power at the end of That revival

Now
even the gifts that were given to the people, that power to operate the gifts
was taken away from them. Proof of that is that you never heard anymore about
those evangelists and their great meetings. Oral Roberts went and built a hospital,
a Bible school and they traded upon testimonies from way back down there. T. L.
Osborne went down. All these great men started to surface and bring out what
they had down inside of them: their evil
natures. Now anybody that knows this
message or read this message knows that what I am saying is the truth. That
started soon after that revival was finished in 1962. In 1965, the Prophet was
going to go home. That revival came with Brother Branham and it died with
Brother Branham. That is why you do not hear about signs and wonders and
miracles in the volume that you used to hear about in the early age because the
revivalist went home and the people sinned and rejected the Word of God.

Quote W.M.B.:, 156-2 In every age we have
exactly the same pattern. That is why the light comes through some God-given
messenger in a certain area, and then from that messenger there spreads the
light through the ministry of others who have been faithfully taught. But of
course all those who go out don't always learn how necessary it is to speak
ONLY what the messenger has spoken…They add here, or take away there, and
soon the message is no longer pure, and the revival dies down. (Smyrnaean
Church Age - Church Age
Book Cpt.4).

The message of
w.m.b. made manifest the just and the unjust

From
1906 it came right up. Brother Branham joined into the healing revival even
from 1933. Now but he was the Prophet of the age, (Malachi 1: 5-6) and the
Laodicean messenger. He was to rebuke the church and he brought the Word to
them. When he brought the Word to so-called Pentecost, it showed up the just
and the unjust. All this time from 1906, it was alright; they ran along but
then the Word came and it divided the just from the unjust.

Seals revealed
False anointed ones – TWO spirits
identified

That
is why at the end of his life, he preached ‘Anointed
Ones at the End Time.’ That message was tying down and vindicating by
the Word of God the false anointed ones. The Prophet of God gave us something
to understand who the false anointed ones are. He said that the false anointed
ones preached Trinitarianism after they heard the Word of God. They allowed
women to preach; they built Bible schools; they built organizations and all
those other things, and they do not follow the commandments of the Lord. So now
here the Bride received something to understand and to discern who false
anointed ones are and who are God’s children. That is where it is.

The
seals were opened for that purpose:
to reveal the anti-Christ and to reveal Christ. That was the spot. The seals
were opened to show all these unjust partaking of spiritual gifts. That is
after the revival was over in 1962. The Word now came and revealed two spirits working in the framework of
the Christian Church. One was anti-Christ and the other one was Christ. The
only way that you are going back to Pentecost and going in the rapture is to
get a revelation of the seals. The
only way to escape the anti-Christ today and not be deceived is to get a
revelation of the two spirits that are working in the framework of the
Christian Church.

The prophet started
calling the people back to Pentecost: seals made the way

Notice
from about 1960 to 1965, Brother Branham’s preaching changed and he kept
on calling the people back to Pentecost. “The greatest messages that you
could read and hear,” Brother Bob told me, “is from
1960.”  That is when the
Prophet of God realized that the Lord had finished with that kind of anointing
back there. Now Brother Branham’s messages changed and he started
preaching ‘Stature of a Perfect
Man,’ ‘Adoption,’ ‘Manifested Sons of God,’
‘Predestinated Mystery of his Will,’ ‘Christ is the Mystery
of God Revealed,’ ‘The Unveiling of God,’ ‘The Mighty
God Unveiled,’ ‘Spoken Word is the Original Seed,’ and
all those messages. He said, “I
will speak plainly this morning” and he crowned off that whole thing.
From there on, it was a call back to
Pentecost because that baptism
of 1906 that was given to them had served
its time.

Yes,
and if this is not too much for the outside world, the covenant had changed. By the opening of the seals, the covenant had
changed. Now that the covenant was changed, you were going to receive the Token
or perish. So now Brother Branham came back and preached ‘The Token.’

Quote W.M.B. 9-5 And we've come up through justification and so forth, but this is
the time that the Token has to be applied. I told you last Sunday, I had
something I wanted to talk to you about; this is it. The time that when you
just can't play with it. It's got to be done. If it's ever going to be done,
it's got to be done now; because we can see that the wrath is about ready to
pass through the land, and everything from under that Token will perish. (The Token 63-0901).

Quote: 35-3 Notice, they were not just yet come together to talk about the
message. They come together to apply the blood, to apply the token. That's what
you must do.

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…He was not
responsible for any out from beneath it. (The Token 63-0901m).

Quote: 101 No matter how much societies, and how many good Red Cross things
they had, which is all good, how much of this, and how many charity
organizations, everything perished that wasn't under that token. Now, think of
it. Everything perished. I don't care how big a church they had, how big a
denomination they belonged to, if it was the king's palace; everything
perished. And so did everything perish in Egypt that wasn't under that token.
Now, God doesn't change His ways. He's got a Token today. My brother, sister,
you'd better receive it. You'd better have it. Just remember, it's a warning.
(The Token 64-0208).

Quote: 28 Now, this morning…I hope there was some good tapes on it, so
it can be carried out to be known that 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).

But God
explained that in another way, a little while after. He said “This is
that message that was to follow the Seals and it is the highlight of all my
ministry and all my preaching.” The Token ties right into the seals. What
was it, Brethren? The Seals were opened in order to make a way for the return of Pentecost. The reason that Angel came
down with a rainbow over His head,
signified that the covenant has changed,
where God was going to give the people the genuine
article; and that baptism back there, which was given in 1906, could not carry
them in the rapture.

We
are right in line; the Lord blessed us for many years. Sent the right man our
way, who explained these things to us; and by God’s grace, sent him my
way, for which I am thankful to God. It took me many years to understand, in
clarity, the things that I have spoken to you in these five messages (and yet
there is more to come.) But I thank God for His grace, that we could have a
clearer picture today and better understanding. I know what I am talking about.
I have not a single doubt in my
heart. This vision is clear before me, my brethren. If that is not so, I am a
liar before you here, but I have spoken the truth to you. I have no doubt.

God
has revealed this revelation to me, just like he revealed it to Brother Branham,
just like he revealed it to the First Martyr and other servants of God. I am
positive about the things that I am proclaiming and I know that you are
positive. I know that you have no doubts on this because this is the very same
thing that you have heard for all the years. God is good to us. He is very good
to us and we have to thank God. We have to praise Him. We have to love Him
more. The token is ours, my brothers and sisters. We are under the right
Covenant. We are a covenant people, going back to Pentecost and I
believe that we will be a blessing to the world. The Lord will hasten the day.
Come my brethren, have your heart prepared for whatever is to come. The Lord
bless you greatly for suffering with me for all through the week, two hours
preaching almost every night. You have been a very cooperative audience.

May
the Lord bless you and grant each one of you that great Outpouring when it
comes. Big and small, here at G.C.C., over in India,
over in Africa, over there in Bethel,
God bless your hearts for your faithfulness. God bless you there, Brother Peter
Baptiste and bless all my brethren that will hear these tapes and see the
DVD’s. There is only one thing that we are saying. (Not that I am an
eighth messenger, not that I am a Prophet.) All that I am proclaiming is that
we must receive the Token or perish. The Baptism that you received in 1906,
right up the road here, cannot take you in the rapture but we need the Token or
we will perish.

Comments by local
Pastor Kenneth McGahee

Those
were precious Words of Life. I want to really thank the Lord for what was said
here today and in the messages that just passed: “The Just and the Unjust,” and all the other messages.
I really believe in my heart that the church has arrived to a higher platform,
into a place that we never came before and now, what we have been taught has
now crossed over the seas. God is preparing His people overseas, even now, for
that great Outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Aren’t you happy today? [Congregation says, “Amen!”]

I want to say to
Bethel, Brother Sookdeo, and all my fellow
ministers and all of my brothers and sisters there at Bethel, abroad and around the world that we
have had a grand time and for this we are all grateful to Brother Bruce for his
labors of love. I saw a man preaching throughout all of these messages with
great love in his heart to tell the
people the truth. May the Lord
richly bless each and every one.

I
want to read a little Scripture. It goes right along with what Brother Bruce
had been saying this morning and on all messages in the past. It is found over
in Matthew 7:16.

Matthew 7:16-27 <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.

Not
every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of
heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Many
will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and
in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

And
then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Therefore
whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto
a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

And
the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that
house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

And
every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be
likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

And
the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that
house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.>

May
the Lord add a blessing to the reading of His Word. I felt that goes right
along with all that we had been hearing right throughout the week and I just
felt to read that to you. But how many, with a hearty “Amen” truly
love what you heard these past nights with all your heart? [Congregation says, “Amen!”]
