PENTECOSTALISM
UNDER THE MESSAGE

(Detoxification
OF THE SOUL)

<If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things
which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your
affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and
your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is
our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. Mortify
therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness,
inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. But now ye also put
off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of
your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man
with his deeds; and have put on the new man,
which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him.> (Colossians 3:1-10.)

May the Lord add a blessing, to the reading of His Holy Word. I believe
that this is a great lesson, in the book of Colossians, to mortify the deeds of
the body. A similar scripture is in the book of Romans 18: 13. It says that if
we do not mortify the deeds of the body, we shall die. But if we mortify the
deeds of the body we shall live.

Yes, so recently we preached about eleven messages, on the subject of ‘Pentecostalism
100 Years’. It is going far and wide, and it is bringing many to the consciousness
of many things in religious circles, especially Pentecostalism, but above all
it is bringing them to understand what is going on around the message. So, it
has gone into a book, which is Book 15, Pentecostalism 100 Years. It is now in
circulation, being posted out to Trinidad, and
to different parts of the world for distribution.

In those messages we established,
that 1906 Pentecostalism, was based upon an anointing of the flesh, and not the
soul. On account of that it gave rise to all manner of sins, under the Name of
Christ and Christianity, and under the name of organizations and churches. It
became the greatest disgrace of modern time. It became the biggest disgrace of
money begging, nakedness, immorality, sins of all kinds, a byword to the
nations, and a byword to the public about their money schemes and money
begging.

In those messages we included the followers
of Malachi 4: 5-6. To show that many of them are resting on the same
foundation of trusting that anointing on the flesh to go in the Rapture, to
escape the damnations of hell and to escape the tribulation. Now, I want to
emphasize just a little bit again on the subject of Pentecostalism under the
message. I believe we can do with a little more of that, and the people around
the world could do with some more on that subject.

Detoxification
of the soul

We targeted so-called Pentecost and we did a good job, and some of
the message believers, were brought into the picture. But this morning because
of recent developments, of what we have heard, what we have witnessed, I
believe that this is a stepping stone, to capitalize, a little more on the
subject of Pentecostalism Under The Message
of Malachi 4: 5-6. I will subtitle this little message: “Detoxification
Of The Soul.” Of recent times in my absence, I was doing two major
things, I was trying to make sure that an old man (90 years of age,) catch a
fish. I am happy to announce that he was successful. From start to finish, and
he has the evidence by picture. His reflexes are very good.

And
then secondly I was studying, a little bit on something that a brother so
graciously gave to me, with his precious wife. That is a booklet on the
Detoxification of the Body and all the organs. That is from where I drew this
little title. In studying that, I thought, ‘as certainly as there is a
detoxification of the body, then most importantly is a detoxification of the soul.’ And because people do not
detoxify the soul they perish. And that is the same as mortifying the deeds of
the body. And if you mortify the deeds of the body, you would live. And if you
do not mortify your soul from all these things you will die. Yes, so it made a
great impression upon me, of the detoxification of the soul. And this is the
big problem of so-called Pentecost. They did not detoxify the soul of all the
spiritual poisons, that contaminated the church.

So,
this man that wrote this booklet, he is a renowned herbalist in the United States,
and he is a student of another great herbalist called Doctor Christopher. This
man’s name is Doctor Shultze. And I agree with most of his theory except
one, and that is, “There is no incurable disease.” He wants to
elevate his programme so much, that he announced by the title of his book, “There
is no incurable disease.” Now, this is a good gesture, but that is not true and I would not quote that to a
Christian. No. There is no incurable disease to God, but not to man. There is
no incurable disease as far as God and His promise is concerned.

But friends, you could do what you want;
sickness is an attribute of sin. And when God is ready to punish a man you
could send him through what detoxification you want, you could get the greatest
doctors, Brother Branham said that you could anoint him with oil, but unless
that sin is confessed, he is not going to get better.

This
is a good gesture, of Doctor Shultze; only one could say that and that is God.
There is no incurable disease to God. “I
am the Lord, thy God who healeth all thy diseases.” Healing is
wrapped up in the forgiveness of sins. But the man has one of the greatest
literatures that I ever read. His theory is based upon the fact that because of
the food, the air and the environment that we live in. Most sicknesses comes
because of the toxins that our bodies gather.             That
relates to heart problems, diabetes, every sickness that you could think about,
it comes from the clogging of the system. And these things that we are eating
and breathing and all the things that we are looking at, clogs the organs. When
it clogs the organs with poison, cancers and tumors come up. He himself was
given up by the doctors to die. Yes, and possibly he went to Doctor Christopher
who made up these herbal treatments and he said he cured himself, and defied
all the doctors.

People that are given up by doctors to die with cancers and all
kinds of horrible diseases, he detoxifies them, he has schools and everything
and they have many testimonies. Now brother, but still the greatest healer is God. And he could go through all them programmes
and if the soul is not detoxified from sin then that sickness will remain right
there.       So,
if you are to follow this programme of detoxification, be sure that you detoxify the soul first. Purge out all
your sins. So, if you notice during this month, that I lose a little weight, I
am not worried about Saul. I am filling my horn with oil. “How long mourn ye for Saul? Fill thy horn with oil.” There
come a time when you are burdened, then you pray, but when God draws that line,
you draw that line together and stand behind it.

So,
if you see me lose a little weight and so on, do not attach it to nothing that
is going on. I am going on a detoxification programme. After eating all that
food, for sixty years, brethren, it must bother you. Even for ten years or
twenty years, it will bother you. And heap up all those poisons and stones and
everything inside of you. I believe in everything that is good for man.

On
this exercise you cannot eat any cooked food, no meats, no fish etc. All that
you are eating is raw food and drinking raw juices. Yes, and I am sure that it
is going to have some benefits in it. The amount of things that are prescribed
to eat is too much for me. I do not eat much in any case. I will go on normally,
yes if a man could fast for forty days, friends, and live through that, why a
man just cannot change his diet for important health benefits? Now that brings willpower. I feel that if there is a
need in your body, and if you are over fat, few are three or four hundred
pounds. I believe that you should make up your mind, and throw the weight off.
I believe that if you are sick and you got to use some herbs, you got to use
some medicine then you ought to use the medicine. Do not be stupid and say, “I
do not like this and I do not like that, and I only like Kentucky Fried
Chicken.” Well, sometime or the other you will have to purge out the Kentucky. You have to
purge out the nasty things you are eating, take a good colon cleanse. I do not
believe in a man eating himself to death. Pastor George Parylla used to tell me
that the American people are killing themselves with their knife and fork. And
that is so true. He meant the food that they are eating.

I
am here to edify you again a little bit on “Pentecostalism under the
message. Detoxification of the Soul.” I announce right here, that the
great problem of so-called Pentecost is that they never detoxified their souls, for the anointing of the Holy
Spirit to come inside of them. And this is the same trend that the followers of Malachi 4 have followed.

Followers of message depends upon 1906 experience

Yes,
they depend upon the 1906 article of so-called Pentecost and they are fast
becoming a disgrace. A disgrace to the message, a disgrace to the prophet of
Malachi 4, 5&6. A disgrace to holiness standard of the Word and message. A
disgrace of being powerless and claim to have the truth. Lacking the power of
Pentecost, lacking the gifts of the Spirit, lacking signs and wonders in
apostolic fashion. They are fast following that same pattern, even because they
have relied upon the anointing that
they came over with, from their organizations. If you were sincere and honest,
all that you had in your organization was an anointing on the flesh.

We
preached, we spoke in tongues, O, we manifested the gifts of the Spirit, we
lived good Christian lives, and that is commendable. But then the age has
changed, the day has changed, that is the whole contention of Book 15. It is
that the age and the day have changed where the token is required or you will
perish. That is very simple, and any honest heart will understand that. Any man
that read those books and listen to the tapes, if he is honest, he will agree
with what was written and spoken. And if he cannot agree with that, he is a
hypocrite, and he needs a complete detoxification of the soul.

So,
I am announcing right here, that the great problem of so-called Pentecostalism
is that they never detoxified the soul. Yes, and the people around the message,
they want this Outpouring of the
Holy Spirit, but they have not detoxified their souls. And brethren, let us
come down to us. The great problem when you see a man fall, The great problem
when you see people backslides and go back into the world after five years, ten
years, fifteen years, twenty years, thirty years, it does not matter how many
years it is, is because they never detoxified the soul by the Word of God, and
by the blood of Jesus Christ. They never laid all on the altar.

Yes,
and if you understand that, when things go wrong in the House of God, with your
family, with your neighbour, with your brothers, with your sisters, you will
understand it from that point of view, that those people never did take heed to
the Word of God and purged out the
old leaven of sin and wickedness in their hearts. Now, when it surface it is a
great shock to everybody. Yes, but they knew in their hearts all the time, what
they were keeping back from the Lord.

It
spells out insincerity, dishonesty, hypocrisy, never evaluated the Word, never
evaluated the message never evaluated the labours of God’s servant, and
then the Bible said because of that, I will spit you out of my mouth. Yes. That
is the punishment in this age. A brother or sister could be sitting right in
the congregation and they have secret sins in their lives and you hear that they
backslide after ten or fifteen years, what is it that happened, is that the
Lord spit them out, because they
never took His counsel of buying of Him gold tried in fire, and white raiment
that they may be clothed. So He spitted them out. But we see the spitting out, but
the secret sins that were going on
all the time, we were not conscious of it. Then when you see the Lord spit
somebody out, and they are out in the world. Now you could reflect and say, “O,
that is why he done that. That is why he behaved in that manner. That is why. O,
I remember five years ago he did so and so.”

Now,
he was covering his sin. The Bible says, “He
that covereth his sins, shall not prosper. But whosoever confesseth and forsake
them, shall have mercy.” That is the Bible. If a preacher understands
the gospel in that fashion, he does not despair. He does not fall on the side
of the road. He does not get all frustrated, and think that when that takes
place the church is breaking up.

“They went out of us,
because they were not of us.” It is God
cleaning up the thing, and as we draw closer to the Token, you will see even greater manifestations. Yes. Judas must
be made manifest. God must cleanse the church and purge the church of sin
before the Outpouring, and if He cannot cleanse the sin in people lives, He is
going to clean them out. He is going to throw them out, together with the sin.

Now
God is very merciful, patient and longsuffering, friends. But when you see the
patience of the Lord run out, my I tell you, nothing is left but the wrath of
God. Just like Colossians 3 says, “For which things sake the wrath of God
cometh on the children to disobedience.”

When we see those things, the clock is ticking right on time. Do not
despair at any time. That is the
Lord cleaning His temple. That is the way that I understand the gospel. That is
the way that I want the ministers to understand the gospel. That is the way
that I want you children to understand the gospel. That is the way that I want
the world to understand the gospel, with all the preachers that contend for the
truth. Yes. The truth keeps marching on.

Display of Pentecostalism

Now,  Pentecostalism under
the message was displayed in no uncertain terms, in a recent incident of the
exposition of a minister of the message of Malachi 4, 5&6. That is
Pentecostalism to the core. The Lord seemingly still wants to get this point of
Pentecostalism over to the congregation, and He has given us a great example,
that you should not miss those messages that was preached on,
“Pentecostalism 100 years.”

Is it not strange that such came soon after Book 15, after you
heard the Word of God, you heard of Mr. Parham, you heard of all those
Pentecostals that worked signs and wonders and miracles, preached the gospel in
every fashion, and probably it was a little hard for some to comprehend.
But now the Lord had it displayed before your very eyes, to nail that point down. A dose of Judas
that you would never forget. That is what happened. Now, this is not to weaken,
the church. It is to strengthen the church. It is to make them wise to the antichrist,
make them wise to the insincerity of men, the dishonesty of men, and how well
they could be sheltered under the framework of the message.

This
man was exposed in no uncertain terms, and the ministers here are worthy of the
highest commendation, for the manner in which they exposed this minister of the message in my absence. Words cannot
describe how I feel towards the brothers that handled this case. And I
purposely absented myself, in order to see how they will handle such a minister
of the message that has fallen.

It was my intention when I had knowledge of this to actually expose
all these ministers to the experience for training. In order for their better
understanding, to understand the deep insincerity and dishonesty that is in the
hearts of men. How men cherish the wickedness in their heart, could sing and
could preach, dance, be loved by a congregation, and be held in high honour and
esteem. So, that was my intention to get all the ministers, and tell them
nothing about it, and bring this case before them, and let them judge for
themselves and give me their opinion. I am sure their opinion would have been a
"not-guilty" verdict. Until, enough evidence was produced, and in
that I was trying to help them to understand how the antichrist could paint an
innocent picture, and make himself look like a genuine Christian, but then
afterward it comes to the surface.

I
want to highly commend Brother Sookdeo in the way in which he handled this
matter. Being present from the beginning to hear all the evidence, together
with Brother Barrow it caused me to understand the fortitude of these men, how
they will stand in a time of battle, and in the squeeze to come upon the church
one of these days. I see some valiancy, I
listened to the tape, I heard my brother’s defiance against the antichrist,
defiance against sin, in no uncertain terms. Yes, men of courage, men of
stamina to stand up for what is right, irregardless of who is the person. That
is the vision I want to put over, my beloved brethren. That the Word is the
Word, and it does not matter who is wrong, when the Word declare you wrong, you
are wrong.

We
gave a chance for repentance, and when repentance is spurn, then judgement is
going to fall. I have never heard Brother Barrow stood up like that. Not only
here but in the message church where this thing was being corrected. He stood
up like a hero. If I ever seen the heroism in a man, I have seen it in Brother
Barrow. Yes, and with clear utterances, sound wisdom and understanding. Brother
Sookdeo stood alike together with Brother Jones. Although Brother Jones on the
other hand has a different approach and a little different way but when he does
come to the end of it, he would let you know where he stands. Yes, everybody
does not have the same personality. He is standing for this, standing for the
Word of God.

So,
I want to highly commend these ministers that were standing in the gap here to
expose that message minister, yes, that brought over his Colemanite seed. [Congregation
says, “Amen!”] Although we tried to help that man to change his
nature and detoxify his soul. He was never purged from Colemanism. No. He is a
dead Colemanite, and he is still following Colemanism. The proof of that is
that when he got exposed, what he did, was to run back
to the Colemanite groups [Congregation says,
“Amen!”] and the false thunders. He called an emergency
meeting and you talk about lies! And a fabrication of lies, even like Satan
himself.

A
lot of people think that the people in the message are fools. They are not
fools. They know when Bruce exposes somebody that they are well exposed. [Congregation says, “Amen!”]
As bad as they think of us, they know our standard, friend, because they
themselves came under exposition, and they cannot answer. It is my
understanding that they chased him from there. [Congregation says, “Amen!”] They said, “You
stood up and preached against us, now you are coming to us.” I compliment
the ministers of the message, who many of them are my friends. They do not pass
me anywhere as much as I expose them. I meet them, they will hug me up, they
would shake my hands, and they say, “Brother Bruce, we know you stand for
the Word!” Yes, but sometimes the Word of the Lord is too strong here and
some of them cannot take it. So, I want to highly commend the brethren out in
the message there for understanding that when we cross swords with any minister
around the message, he is wrong and we are right! [Congregation says, “Amen!”] Yes, I also want to
compliment the beloved saints from that message church. Now, you see there must
be something to try you after you hear the Word of God. [Congregation says, “Amen!”] And God do not announce
what He is coming to try you with. There was not a loudspeaker and a man
announcing to Job all what God was going to try him with. It just happened one
day. A conference was going on between Satan and God, and all that Job understood
was that a lightning came killed all his children, burnt up his crops, killed
his donkeys, killed horses and everything, and then the man got down in
sackcloth and ashes. He was tried of God and said, “Though He slay me yet I will trust Him. [Congregation says, “Amen!”]
Shall we receive good at the hand of the Lord and not evil?” Yes, he
had the correct understanding that God was going to try him somewhere down the line.

And
friends, as much as you say you believe, as long as you belong to church, as
long as you had been following the Word of God and as much faith as you
confess, there is a trial for you as an individual and you better pass that test. That trial could be
your wife, it could be your husband, it could be your child. It could be a
rebuke; it could be a correction from the ministry, and if you are not for the
Word of God and eternal life one hundred percent, you are going to blow up.

But
I am assured that many of us have passed our test. We had many trials and we
came forth pure as gold on the other side. And I want to say that this test
that the brethren have gone through, of recent time, was a major test. And I am
happy to announce, brethren, that they have passed their test. The church as a
whole stood as heroes, yes, humbly, defiantly and they know what they believe,
they know what they stand for, and they have come this way to sit down this
morning, though they were kicked out of their church, though they were kicked
out by the one that they trusted as a minister. That never affected them.

When
they heard that they have to come up to Bethel
on a Wednesday and Sunday, you could have seen the rejoicing, and it just
appeared to them like if a dog had died. I want to highly commend those
brethren for standing with the Word of God, standing with the ministry of
Christ. They stood as heroes! Men, women and children.

The only people
that went with that bastard called Parham. You remember the man called
Parham, 1906, Sodomite? Well, I am dealing with the spirit of Parham. The only
ones that stood up for that man were his immediate family. It goes to show the
same spirit of Parham is upon them. So now, when such things happen in a
church, normally those that are towing the line, called make-believers, they
find excuses to pull out. And the
kind of excuses they make is that the church has too much confusion, and they cannot
take that, look at what that minister done. Then if you were in the days of our
Lord, you would leave Jesus church when Judas fell. And when the seventy fell you would
have the same excuse.

But
when you are a child of God, and you stand for right, and you are after eternal
life, friends, sink or float you are going forward, who fall, fell. Yes. Who
want to go forward, let us forward. If Korah, Abiram, and Dathan want to die in
the wilderness, with a hole opening up in the ground and go down in there, we
are marching to the Promised Land. If everybody wants to murmur against Moses,
we are marching to the Promised Land. But in such a time make believers also
show up. They wait until there is something in the House of God, so they could
get a point, and they could even hang together with the wrong ones and say that
they are pressuring the brother too much. They are pressuring the sister too
much, yes, even because some say, “I see nothing with sexy pictures.”
You have the same sodomite spirit. “I do not see anything in that.”
You might be a sodomite too. O my, that is why you pick up for Parham, a false
preacher.

So,
I highly commend the fortitude of the saints of God. They are worthy of all acception,
they are worthy of all help, they are worthy of all commendation, and we are
here to help every one of you, because you stood for the Word of God. You will
continue to lead your songs, continue to preach the Word of God, continue to do
your deacon duty, yes, although Mr. Parham took away the church and kicked you
out.

My beloved, the truth is still marching
on, and you will still hear the Word of God. Yes, some of you might be a little
puzzled there on the tape concerning Parham. Now, but Parham was a founding
father of Pentecostalism in 1906. And he is credited throughout the world as
the founder and the father of Pentecostalism. In 1906 this man was found to be
a sodomite, sodomising young boys and he was taken to the law. And after being
taken to the law, beloved, that devil never stopped preaching. He continued to
preach and he is still carrying the name around the world, as a father of
Pentecostalism. Now that spirit is still alive. Right here today the spirit of
Parham is still alive. Thus we are preaching about a Parham spirit.

But
Parham of 1906 was a sodomite. And everybody trusted Parham as a wonderful
Christian leader, a great man to follow. A man that represents Jesus Christ, a
man that sings, man, his voice was even like Lucifer himself, but then he
approached some young boys, in 1906 and defiled them. The young boys went and
told their parents, and the parents never took it lightly. The parents went to
the other ministers and exposed Mr. Parham. O yes, those spirits do not die.
Those spirits lived on for a hundred years through so-called Pentecostalism,
and those spirits are right under the message today. It is my duty to expose
the spirit of Parham and the sons of Parham, because we are living in an age of
Sodom and Gomorrah.

O
yes. So, Parham was a sodomite. A preacher, no doubt lead songs, a great
leader, and Mr. Parham went around there to innocent young fellows, and were
interfering with them. He had to have some kind of excuse, for interfering with
those young boys. I do not know if it was medical, or spiritual, or what kind
of excuse that Parham was making.

O
yes. Now, this is the way that these spirits move: when a man is in authority, and he does not detoxify his soul from such
nasty spirits. Now, when you meet sincere people, you cannot come and tell a young
girl that I want to commit fornication, or meet a married woman and say I want
to commit adultery, or meet a fellow and say I want to have sodomy with you.
No, people are sincere, they heard the Word of God, and they are coming to
church because they love the Lord. You must have a deceptive excuse.

That
happened in history. Yes. There was a man that started burning in lust for a
great woman, one time called Paulina. And he got so sick over this lust that he
had, he went to the old men of the village and asked, “How can I get this
woman? She is a married woman.” And they invented something for him. They
said, “She loves the gods, and she loves that idol.” The priest said
that, “We will send a message for her that the gods want to see you
tonight, and he wants to have an affair with you.” So, she thought that was
a great privilege.

That is the story of the heathen gods. They met one another, and
they had a child, and it was a goddess. So no doubt she desired to bring forth
a goddess. And she went into that temple overnight, praying to that idol, and
that man, who was burning with lust, dressed up like the god and came through a
back door, and she freely offered herself without resistance, to the Roman god.

T
hese are the deception that comes from Satanic men. The devil cannot come and
tell you through a man to come and do wrong now. No, he comes with a certain
excuse: medical, suicide, spiritual. “I will make you more
spiritual.” If you follow the course of these people under the message
that deceive women you will see that they came up with excuses like that, just
like that fellow under the Roman government.

This
fellow had a good time and then went out. Now, he wanted to boast about his
accomplishment. So, he started to talk to everybody about it. “I did so
and so.” And that fell on the ear of the king, and he brought him to
justice, and he brought all the priests and killed every one of them and broke
down that temple. That is good justice, yes, for such kinds of deceivers that
people trust. So, you see when you trust people, you got to watch out. Remember
me preaching that many years ago? You could so trust a minister and a woman
could come up to that minister, pastor and say, “I would do anything that you tell me.”

Belove,
that nasty fellow, that never detoxified his soul, is getting a different idea.
Yes, and it is a dangerous thing when you see you say that to the ministry or a
man. Define what you are saying, otherwise you let that get into a carnal mind,
it will take advantage of you. This is a serious affair I am talking about. The
mind and the soul of man is so carnal, it imagines wickedness continually. God
has to help a man. When people confide in him and trust him with their very
life, my friends, God has to be holding that man, otherwise he will use his
influence to defile your wife,
defile your daughters, steal your money, do every single thing to harm you. Be
careful whom you are trusting.

So,
I am preaching about the spirit of Parham. Friends, I want to say that I highly
commend, the youths that went and complained upon Parham. They went over there
and complained to their parents, about what Mr. Parham done. Mr. Parham said
that he was fixing their belly, and straightening out their constipation
problem. “So, why you allow Mr. Parham to do that?” “Because
I trusted Mr. Parham and I thought that this was a medical programme. Yes. That
is why I allowed that.”

I
want to further compliment the youths, yes, that reported that Parham spirit,
to their parents, not only that, but was asked to co-operate a little more with
the nastiness that wanted them to vomit, brought them under condemnation,  so nasty they felt to vomit, that was
their confession. But then, they were asked to co-operate with it until they
trapped the spirit of Parham. Because Parham is a big liar, and he would not
want to admit what he done. So that is why that went on. If any body thinks
that they have a better idea, and they have a better discernment of what went
on, you need to shut up.

When
things like that happen in any church, under Parham or not, you need to leave
that to the ministry to pass judgement on anything like that. If those little
boys were sodomites they would not have gone and tell their parents, and tell
on Parham. No. They would have co-operated and nobody would know about it, because
they did not have that spirit upon them, yes, and they were deceived thinking
that it is something else, and after they caught themselves, then they reported
it, and they reported Parham to their parents. And their parents went to the
ministry in 1906, and the ministry picked up the matter in hand.

Yes,
and no doubt they asked the little boys to hold on a little bit; “We want
to see him with his pants off. We are going to send some people to peep through
the bedroom, and we are going to catch him red-handed.” And the little
boys scornfully co-operated, and they held Parham. Yes. And when they held Mr.
Parham, my beloved, they ended up under the law, and they charged Mr. Parham in
1907, for committing sodomy.

These
same spirits flourish under the message today. Beloved, one hundred years that
seed of sodomy started way back there in Pentecostal
circles. Think of what it is today, that after that message was preached
against Liardon, condemning that thing, lower than a prostitute, Parham had the
guts, right in the presence of God, to work his deception. Beloved, and try to
defile youths, and send them for communion. Brethren, I am full of doubts,
although I do not want to believe that, I am full of doubts concerning the
hopes of this Mr. Parham, Parham’s son. How can a
man hear such a message? That was a fearful message. Never in my life
did I ever condemn sodomy in such a fashion. Little did I know that I was
talking to a son of Parham. I never heard a whisper of it. I never knew that
about it. Immediately after the meeting Parham showed up his spirit.
Comfortable as ever, went and testified about other men, their wrong, their
wickedness and how they are not walking with the Word of God.

Brethren,
that is the most frightening thing. And the ministers expressed the same.
Brother Barrow expressed the same thing. They cannot come to terms with that.
Brother Jones is in a different world. How on earth that a man could do such
wickedness? After a message like that, didn’t that message convict the
fellow? Did not that message alert the man. It sounds like a dead soul. It
sounds like a dead conscience to me.

To think that while you arehearing the
Word the devil put some nasty thing in your mind, and you are willing to repent
right away and you are ashamed of yourself. That is not you now, that is the
devil bringing that, just to put some nasty thing in your mind. And you are
ashamed: “Lord, forgive me. I am a nasty man, that is what I am thinking
under the Word, Lord.” Some kind of curse word come into your mind, some
kind of  this or that, but that is
not you, that is the devil trying to make you feel convicted and nasty. You
have to understand yourself and understand who is who. But this is not a case
like that. This is wilfully. Now brethren, what I gathered from that, is that a
man is so obsessed, with his lust
that he cannot wait for a place outside of the
church building.

My
God, when a man becomes so obsessed with lust, and the spirit of Parham, he is
in bad shape. This is terrible and that is the most frightening part in this
affair. Then on top of that, fight even to the law, to justify yourself that
you are right. What kind of a spirit has surfaced is beyond me.

Now,
this is alarming, it is shocking to the congregation. I want each person to
hold their own opinion, and do not express that around the church here. In
other words, Caribbean language, “shut
your big mouth.” That is how Caribbean
people, Indian and African people understand. The more civilized people, they
understand, “Please refrain from speaking. Please refrain from speaking
certain things like that.” Do not speak the things that you do not know
about. Yes.

I
commend these youths that exposed Parham. I commend them for their co-operation,
otherwise Parham will still be leading a congregation. Yes. Because of their good
intervention the congregation is delivered, Otherwise they will be under a
Sodomite spirit for several more years. So we thank God for deliverance. We
thank God for setting the captives free.

So
you see, brothers and sisters, nothing is going wrong in that church? It is
alarming. It is very alarming when these things come out. It is very alarming.
It is shocking, but then in God’s economy, He is cleaning the nest. Now,
they can look back and see why that congregation suffered under that man.
Nobody could have rebuked nastier than that fellow: calling names, whatever he
suspected whatever Jezebel told him. Ahab followed that report. .

Were
not for the Lord exposing this demon, we would not know the in depths of the party. Now notice nobody knew what was
in Judas’ heart. None of the apostles, but the Lord, and then the only
one to expose Judas was the Lord. Now, I believe that Judas had a very
wonderful personality, and friends,
my purpose here today is not to come and paint a picture of Parham, of what a
wicked fellow he was. I cannot say that.

Now,
I want to say concerning the son of Parham, that he was anointed. He was
greatly anointed in songs. I loved to hear the son of Parham sing. He had years
of service, just like his father Parham. He was considered as a father of so-called
Pentecostalism, and he had many years of service right down the line. Even
after the man was exposed he still continued to preach, and he gained the
reputation as the Father of Pentecostalism, and then Brother Seymour was only
carrying the name as a catalyst of Pentecost. But Parham was carrying the name father.
But we all know that Seymour, the one eye Negro man was the father of
Pentecostalism. God used that man.

So
now my brother, Parham was a nice personality fellow, and in many things he was
submissive. We cannot say any different. Very submissive. The congregation
trusted him. The brethren trusted him. He lifted up the Word as no man lifted
it up. He lifted up the message; he lifted up God’s servant in that
church, yes, as few would lift up God’s servant. He testified of the
goodness and the blessedness. I want to say that God used him to bring the
congregation out of Colemanism, but he himself never came out of Colemanisn.
No. But the Lord used him to bring the people out of Colemanism and we are
thankful for that.

So,
he testified, he rebuked others for their sins openly. O brethren, it looked
real genuine, that nobody could figure out. I admired that son of Parham. He
was like a son, a friend, seemingly obedient in all things. So, my job is not
to come and paint a picture here now and point out the faults of this message
minister, that he was so and so, and was bad, he was. No my friend! I am
dealing with the exposition. I am dealing with what has surfaced, and I am
going to tell you why such thing surfaced.

Now,
the worst thing that could happen to anybody is that when you sin, to
retaliate. Brethren, do you know that there is forgiveness for sodomy? Yes,
there is forgiveness. Brother Paul said, “Such were some of us. Abusers
of ourselves with mankind, yes, effeminate, adulterers, fornicators, but now we
are washed, but now we are clean.

I Corinthians 6:11 <And such were some of
you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name
of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.>

I Corinthians 6:9<Know
ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?
Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate,
nor abusers of themselves with mankind.>

I
will venture to say that many a man that now
follow the Word of God, or several that follow the Word of God, had some kind
of a contact with that even as children, but God has forgiven them, God has cleansed
them, they are washed. All kind of things happened in women’s lives but
God washed them, he cleansed them.

But
brethren, when your sins are exposed and you want to fight back even to the court of law, it is a bad sign. When you would use lies to cover up your wickedness, when you
would turn against the whole church, to prove yourself innocent after you know
that you are guilty, after you admit
privately, that you are guilty. Friends, that man said openly, after
challenged by the Word of God that he could not say that he was innocent before
Jesus, when Brother Barrow questioned him. Stood up and admit, he said, “My
problem started and I am guilty of that when I was three or four years old.”
He confessed that.

In
the last meeting he stood right up there, and when cornered by the Word, I said,
“You do not want to call it that certain name, but I am going to give you
a name for it: you were feeling nice.”
He said, “Yes, I was feeling nice.” I said, “Well, then I
call it homosexuality, I call it sodomy, and you are guilty. Go and repent.”
He left with the intention to repent, and then started to fight. How on earth
can a man be so dishonest with himself? Yes, my beloved, we must be honest with
ourselves. Now, from the nicest man he turned to be a terror and a rebel.

Those
of you who were in church down there and were witnesses, you know what I am
talking about. We were not facing the man and the message minister that we knew
about. The submissive man, the humble man, the man that would lay down his life
for the ministry, no friends, we were facing the devil himself. And being
present there, the brothers will bear witness, I said, “You will kick
this church out.” He say, “Who me?” I said, “No, you
are not saying that, I am saying that.” He kicked the church out the next
service. Yes, my brethren, I know those spirits. I said, “Let me tell you
something, friend, you do not know what you will do next. You will be demon
possessed.” I believe that man got demon possessed right then. From the
time he resisted correction, that devil jumped right on him.

Brethren,
it is bad enough to do what you done, you are wrong. You are wrong. Somebody is
trying to cover your sin, hide it, brethren, in every respect, even break the
regulations of the message, to hide this thing, to cover it up. Now, that is
what you are going to do? Turn back and, brother,
rebel? That is not you that is not you. You
are sold over to a certain spirit,
because of pride. Family pride, prestige that you even
want to turn your witnesses liars. To turn ministers’ liars, who
know the truth. Turn the congregation liars. Now, what kind of a spirit is
that? Let us wait and see. You know all of that. I am not the kind of man to
just conclude upon a man, because of the merciful God that He is.

Jonah,
a prophet, you know, was angry one time with God. Because he went and already
declared “That forty days yet and Nineveh shall be
destroyed.” And then, the people repented and God had mercy upon
them. And Jonah complained to the Lord. He said, “This is the same
reason, I never wanted to come and preach, and I got a ship to Tarshish
instead, because I know that you are a merciful God, and you will forgive the
people.” That was the complaint of the prophet. So brethren, God is a
merciful God, and you got to wait a little bit, and see if the Lord is actually
going to condemn this thing to hell or He is going to have mercy somewhere. You
know as bad as it look in our eyes, sometimes the Lord turns around and He just
twists the table, the person may not be restored right back, but He saves their
soul.

Look
how bad it looked for Saul, but God saved the man in the end. And I always want
to keep that next to my heart, because I know Him to be a merciful God. And I
do not care what condition that you are in here this morning or under my voice
and what you have done in this life, brethren, if only you will reach out to
the Lord and say, “Lord, I want to straighten up my life. I want to
change this course. I came against the ministry; I said this, against the Word.
I have a bad attitude against my pastor. I have a bad attitude against his
family. I have a bad attitude against my brothers and sisters, please forgive
me.” He will forgive you. That is the merciful God that He is.

I
am telling you He is a merciful God, and a faithful high priests, that can be
touched with the feeling of our infirmities. I do not care what you done, I do
not care how bad you feel, I do not care how bad you think, that you are a
serpent seed and you have done this and that and the next, God is standing
there with an open arm, and eyes of pity, to all that will want to repent.
Though you be a sinner here this morning, and had not known the Lord Jesus, and
you come from Hinduism, Muslim religion you come from where or from a coke den,
a gambling den, even if you are prostitute or a homosexual, there is mercy for
you.

The
Bible said that such were some of us, but now are we washed, now are we
cleaned. That is the mercy of God. So now, do not frustrate the mercy of God. “My hand is not too short that I
cannot save, and my ears are not too heavy, that I cannot hear.” Do
not look at the condition of your children and think that they are unsaveable,
forget it, claim them in the name of the Lord, and you will see them come back.
You will see them come back on their backs sometime, but they are coming. That
is the mercy of God. Yes, “His thoughts are higher than our thoughts and
his ways are higher than our ways.”

In all what I am saying, I am not
prophesying nor predicting. I am saying it looks bad for this man. It looks bad
for this family. But then brethren, “Judge nothing before its time.”
You got to wait, got to wait, watch, do not pass
condemnation, say he is finished. O,
it looks that way, it looks very well that way, but wait, give the Lord a little
chance. You could hear that this man is dead tomorrow. It will be the mercy of
the Lord, like unto Saul. If you see him prosper and continue, you know that
the election is off. If he is back in the same boat of the world, and he is
alive, “Be not envious at the
wicked when he prospereth, for he shall soon be cut down as the grass.”

This
should be the balance of our thinking. Never judge on circumstances. A demon
could get upon a man and make him chase David, from one end of the country, to
the next end of the country, and his life was given to David, and David spared
his life and came out there and repented, and then on top of that, the man went
back chasing after David, to kill David. We should do better under grace. There
was a demon upon the man. So I am not prophesying nor predicting that this
minister is eventually going to repent, I do not know.

But there is a space of repentance. And
we ought to watch that space of
repentance. If you see a man do all what he done, and he is proud, bold,
defiant, will take you to the end to destroy you, and on top of that, nothing
happens to him in the way of death, or sickness, he may be a seed of the
serpent. But you see, you cannot judge before the time. See what I mean. When
such things happens in the house of God, O, the church is shocked, they are
surprised, they are disappointed, they are embarrassed. To even hear such
things, it causes the sisters to blush, but these things happened in the Bible
before.

Did
you not read about the sons of Eli, how they laid with the women, in the
tabernacle? Now you heard that, but yet it surprises us. But this is even
worse, those were women, but a sodomite is lower than a prostitute. I declares
that. How a person, O my, could stand behind the sacred desk and handle Brother
Braham’s message in such a way, testify about it and be so wicked? Why
has this befallen this message minister? How? Why? is always the questions. We
come right back, the fact is that the man’s soul was not anointed but only the flesh and that runs well with
his father Parham. The sons of Parham are displaying the very same thing,
throughout so-called Pentecost. Throughout the message today, these sons of
Parham went after money, went after women, went after popularity, and it is
getting closer to the Token now. So these sodomite spirits. Now, these things
do not overtake a man overnight,
alright. So let me give this little lesson here, brethren, from Colossians 1,
and how this thing could really happen to such a lovely minister, a friendly
minister, a nice family, a man that could sing so sweet, that you love to hear
him sing. A man whose preaching that you could relate to, a man’s
commendation of the ministry, it always blesses you. These things do not happen
overnight.

To
crown the whole thing off, is that the man’s soul was not detoxified. We must go through a
detoxification of the soul, of all carnal desires, yes. All appetites of the
world, in order to qualify, for the new birth, number one, God is not going to
plant that seed in all that rubbish. The Lord is smarter than that. Yes, the
Lord digs up the ground, He makes sure that He pulls out all the stones, and
all the weeds and all the hindrances before He plants the seed of Life in
there. And when a man has all these things down inside of him, the seed cannot be planted. But look at the
mercy of God, brethren, that even though the seed was not planted in Mr.
Parham, God used what He could have used. He anointed the outside spirit; He
anointed the flesh, that Parham could have done miracles, and signs. Parham
could have preached the gospel, and the anointing was genuine.

Do
not ever get away from that, the anointing was genuine. Friends, the anointing to sing was genuine, the anointing
to dance was genuine. Do not get your lines tangled up. Do not call it the devil
now. No, no, no. You could blaspheme yourself,
by calling that the devil. It was anointed. It was the anointing of the Spirit.
Anointed to preach, anointed to do signs and wonders. God performed the signs
and wonders. Yes, He done it, but friends, the soul was black as midnight. The
soul was not detoxified by the blood of Jesus Christ.

Brethren, that is the condition in which you
came here from your religion. That was the condition as sincere as you were,
anointed as you were, with sincerity more than the son of Parham. Yes, with
honesty towards God, that is the condition you came in with and heard the Word.
And when you heard the Word of God, because of your sincerity, your honesty,
your election, you responded. “My
sheep hear my voice.”

So you had an anointing on the outside. Those of you who came from the
world, you were anointed of the devil right through, body, soul and spirit. But
just as I am, I come. He said, “Come unto me all ye that labour and are
heavy laden and I will give you rest.” You shall find rest unto your
souls. So, the Lord is calling you to a rest of the soul, where you rest from
the wickedness of this world, and rest in Christ in your soul not your body.
That is where the Seven Days Adventists are wrong. Yes. In St. Luke 11, Jesus
came and called you to a rest of the soul, seven days a week. But Moses called
you to a rest of the seventh day, the Sabbath, which was a Saturday. That is
what he called you to. But Jesus came and called you to a rest of the soul.

Yes,
in order to get that rest you got to detoxify the soul. The Bible says to
detoxify every member. Mortify every member. You have a problem with your eye:
mortify your eye, every member of the body. Yes, you have a problem with
smelling too much; “But that woman smells just like my girlfriend I had
in school.” Mortify your nose, mortify your lips and mortify your ears. You
like to hear too much gossip: mortify your ears. You on the telephone: hang off
the telephone. Mortify your ears. Yes. You like to put your hands in the wrong
place: mortify your hands.

Your foot wants to walk to the wrong place: mortify your feet. But above all mortify the heart. “For
out of the heart proceedeth adulteries, fornication, and all kinds of
wickedness.” Jesus said that. You got to mortify it just like you going
to take that detoxification of the body, whatever debris from the food that you
eat, from the air that you breathe, from the medicine that you take, and it
heaps up in your brain. It causes you something up there, lack of memory, lack
of this, lack of that and lack of concentration.

All kinds of things heap up in the heart. It is going to bring heart
problems. Something out here in your stomach, you start suffering from your
stomach. Everything is heaped up inside up there. Something went wrong with the
pancreas, you start getting sugar diabetes. Something goes wrong with the gall
bladder, stones to fill a toy truckload, and out here the debris travels down,
it comes down into the kidney. Yes, something down into the liver is cutting up
the live, it is going to bring cancer, it is empting into the bowel, went you are
getting a bowel cancer, you develop constipation and all kinds of a problems. Your
system filled that you cannot enjoy your food. You cannot eat as you are
supposed to eat, you cannot sleep when you are supposed to, because all these
toxins are in your system.

Now, if the natural toxin does the body
so bad, what about all the poisons of this world? What about the lusts of this
world? What about the pride of life? What about the sins that you commit, my
brother? What about all these things? It remains in your system. It is a poison
acid of malice. What about the poison acid of jealousy? What about the poison
down inside of your soul? Brother Branham said it is a poison. Poison acid of
jealousy. Poison acid of malice, hatred, anger, and variance. All that is down
inside of us and we gather these poisons as we come through life. We come
through life with all these poisons. You would die spiritually, take you to
hell and the lake of fire

But
when you hear the gospel, friend, this is a good detoxification program; you
must be able to detoxify your soul with the blood of Jesus Christ. With
repentance, with sincerity and honesty, it takes a combination of these herbs
now, it is spiritual herbs.

Yes,
and it is going to cost you something. It is a rigid exercise. Your tongue is
going to lust to eat meat, put your tongue in its place. Your tongue lusts to
eat Kentucky,
you say, “No Kentucky, I am cleaning out.” Put that to the
spiritual, and your eyes lusting after the women, your mouth is longing to
speak on politics. All kind of things are going on  in your system, but you have to beat the
body as Brother Paul said, and bring it into subjection, man! Bring the thing
into subjection; mortify the deeds
of the body.

As the natural man suffering from tumors,
cancer, yes, taking them needles everyday, O God! Our brothers right here, we
do not even consider that, every day they have to take a couple injections if
they want to live. They are suffering from this sugar diabetes and everything
like that. O my, and God have mercy upon them, yes. It is because of all these
things the man explained, that has gone down in our systems. But the root of this is sin, friend, and if
that destroys the body, and if a cleansing of the body will give you better
health, and will send down your weight, will reduce the tumor, will fix the
liver, then brothers and sisters, make the sacrifice.

Detoxify the soul, that will cause you to live forever. I believe
that is most important. Detoxify the soul of malice, of hatred, of variance, of
homosexuality, of adultery, of fornication. That is what Brother Paul was
talking about. Yes.

Colossians 3: 4-5 <When
Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in
glory.

Mortify therefore your
members which are upon the earth; fornication…>

You see? Mortify your members.

Colossians 3:5
<…uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and
covetousness, which is idolatry.>

People lusting after the world, they want to make more money,
barrels of money, they want more education than they could use, they want to be
a big scholar, they want the pride of life. You need to mortify the deeds of
the body. That is what the Lord wants you to do: detoxify. Detoxify the
nastiness from your soul, make a sacrifice, lose some sleep, give up a few
meals then you are going to get detoxified. Listen to the Word of God.

Brother Bruce is not a magician that when you are overcome with lust
you say, “Brother Bruce, what to do?” You know what to do: beat the
body and bring it in subjection, keep your eyes upon Christ, keep your eyes on
the Word of God. This prayer meeting is for those who are having problems. Did
you show up here, as a youth? Did you show up as a woman? You put everything in
place to help people to detoxify their souls but they don’t want that;
they want a magic.

And do you know many
people are sick and want a magic? They want a magic pill. Yes. The doctor tell
them to go and do such and such, take that medicine three times a day, get up
in the night and take it, and take it for two months or three month, but they
do not want to go the long way. They will change that doctor and go to a next
doctor and say, “Doc, I am sick, such and such.” Yes. Sometimes he
fools them. They are looking for a magic pill and this magic pill is that they
must take the medicine and get better right away, yes, and their organs must be
strong enough to go and commit fornication, and dance in the parties whole
night and everything like that. It does not work like that.

If you want anything in this life there is a sacrifice and people are not willing to make that sacrifice to
detoxify. They will sit down in the church with malice, grievance against the
minister, hate the preacher’s wife and hate his children. You are sitting
down there with a lot of poison, a lot of toxin in your system and you need a
detoxification right this morning, and if you don’t get detoxified you
will end up like the son of Parham. God has set an example to show you that a
man that keeps those things in him without detoxifying: it is going to die.

Romans 8: 13 <For if ye live after the
flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the
body, ye shall live.>

That is what the Bible said. So what is more important: not to detoxify the soul? Yes. And with God there
is no incurable disease. It does not have a sin in your life that God cannot
cure. He could cure every sin in your life. He died on Calvary
to forgive you for all your sins and to cleanse you from all unrighteousness.

Let the musicians come. Let us make a joyful noise unto the Lord,
all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before His presence with
singing. Know ye that the Lord He is God: it is He that hath made us, and not
we ourselves; we are the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with
thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless
His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy endureth forever.

My Lord! Oh, the blood of Jesus: what a detoxification program that
was brought up by the herbalist, Jesus. My God! You never heard of men curing
men with their own blood. Yes. He said, “Except ye eat the flesh of the
Son of man, and drink his blood, you are going to die; you have no life in you.
That’s the best detoxification program that I know about: it is the blood
of Jesus Christ and His blood is in the Word of God.
