WE CONSIDER NOT THE DEADNESS OF SARAH’S WOMB

CHAPTER SEVEN

<And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb:

He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;

And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.> Romans 4:19-22.

ABRAHAM – BRANHAM – SARAH

May the Lord add a blessing to the reading of His holy Words. We will dwell again on the subject of Abraham, and entitle this little exhortation: “We Consider Not the Deadness of Sarah’s Womb.” That phrase stands out: “The deadness of Sarah’s womb”. It means a lot today and could be typed out to the end time church that the prophet of God tried to take back to Pentecost. This will benefit each one of us: those for divine healing and even those that are on the field.

We Consider Not the Deadness of Sarah’s Womb. There was a man who lived in the past who never considered the deadness of Sarah’s womb. That was Abraham. There was a man today, who lived in our age, who considered not the deadness of Sarah’s womb in the twentieth century. He kept on sowing the seeds from way back in 1933 until 1965. He never let up, having one vision in his mind that God would fulfill the Promise to the church of another return of Pentecost to bring forth the manifested sons of God, to produce a living Church before the rapture takes place.

I don’t want to bore you with quotations but these are so wonderful.

NEED POWER BACK IN CHURCH 1,000,000 MILES SHORT

Quote W.M.B.: Our education's the greatest hindrance the Gospel ever had is education. What we need is not education. We need the power and demonstration of the Holy Ghost back in the church to demonstrate the power... ...We're still a million miles short than where we should be. Let us move forward. Let's go back where we left Him at the feast of Pentecost.” Believest Thou This 60-0402

Now I am just reading this to show you the vision that Brother Branham had and how dead Sarah’s womb was. This expresses the deadness of Sarah’s womb, but Brother Branham continued to preach and uplift the Word of God knowing that at the end of the road there will be a super Church.

TWO THIRDS OF THE WORLD HAS NEVER HEARD THE GOSPEL IN POWER

Quote W.M.B.: E-74 Mercy, goodness. What we need is the Gospel. And the Gospel is the power and demonstration of the Holy Ghost. …That's the reason two thirds of the world has never heard it. (A Second Handed Robe 56-1206.

As Abraham was trying to produce a promised son, an Isaac, we had Brother Branham today trying to produce Christ in the Bride. Brother Paul said,

Galatians 4:19: <My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you.>

There had been a travailing likewise in the end time messenger to have Christ formed in the church, that the church may bring forth a revival, go back to Pentecost, and be a living Church. He knew that is what the world wants to see; that is what the heathens want to see. That is what Africa, India and the people around the world want. They want to see these sons of God come on the scene and manifest themselves with the Power of God. Brother Branham had that vision. He continued to press the battle, trying to produce that Church.

ONE THING TO STIR INDIA—THE REAL POWER OF GOD

Quote W.M.B.: Recently when we was talking to a missionary from India, where God has told me to go to, where I will have a crowd of three hundred thousand people in one meeting... Notice, in that same man, he said, "There's only one thing Brother Branham, that'll ever stir the people of India from those Mohammedans, and idolaters and so forth, it'll take the real power of God. Where demons when they rise up, the power of God there is to let them down. Be sure you know what you're talking of. Do You Now Believe? 52-0817.

There is only one thing that is going to touch India and that is the Power of God. You can see very well the vision of Brother Branham. The vision of the prophet was to produce a super Church.

INDIANS GOT TO SEE POWER & DEMONSTRATION

Quote W.M.B.: Look, if the church (I say this with respect) if the church can't produce no more than reading, writing, and arithmetic, and the psychic side of the Gospel, the Indians are finished. The Indians, like the natives of Africa, has got to see the power of God in demonstration. Israel And The Church 129-147 53-0329.

VISION OF THE PROPHET& TRUE SERVANTS, POWER & DEMONSTRATION

All through his life, Brother Branham was trying to produce a living Church in order to convert the Africans, the Indians and all the idolaters and all the heathens around the world whose names are on the Lamb’s Book of Life. He knew very well that unless we have the Power of God, the Gospel could not be preached and you could not convince those people. We could only do what we can at the present time.

The vision of Brother Branham, to have a super Church with the Power of God to preach the Gospel to the world, was the same vision of the man called Brother Lambert, and it is our vision. It is pastor, Kenny McGahee’s vision here; it is my vision; and it is the vision of many other ministers in the Caribbean and South America. Now this same vision: to preach the Gospel in the demonstration and Power of the Holy Ghost, has spread to India, to the Philippines, to a little part of Europe and to Africa. People never had this vision before, but we thank God that the prophet’s message and the prophet’s vision are going forward. The prophet of God kept that vision alive.

PEOPLE CAN’T STAND STILL. POWER OUGHT TO BE GOING TO HOSPITALS, SIGNS, WONDERS & MIRACLES

Quote W.M.B.: E-50 I think, after this great revival that's swept the world in these last few years, I think the saints of God ought to be in the heavenlies everywhere, and the power of God going into hospitals, and everywhere else, and great signs and wonders, and miracles taking place. But He can't get the people to stand still long enough. Hear Ye Him 62-0711.

That is what the people have done. They ran out before time. They would not stand still for the Lord to bless them, and shape them into a place through a born again experience, so He could put the stature of a perfect man into them. They would not stand still until the Outpouring of the Holy Ghost comes. Now I will quote this to crown that off.

RETURN TO PENTECOST - NECESSITY DYNAMIC POWER

Quote W.M.B.: 377-2 This age started just after the turn of the twentieth century. As it was to be the age in which the true church would return to being the bride she was at Pentecost, we know that there must of necessity be a return of dynamic power…” “…What seemed to be the answer came as many began to speak in tongues and manifest gifts of the Spirit. Church Age Book Chapter 10.

THUS SAITH THE LORD – FULLNESS OF PENTECOST

Quote W.M.B.: 379-1 But what about the true seed? …The people of God are being made ready by the Word of Truth from the messenger to this age. In her will be the fullness of Pentecost for the Spirit will bring the people right back to where they were at the beginning. That is "Thus saith the Lord." Joel 2:22-26. Church Age Book Chapter 10.

He said, “That is ‘Thus Saith the Lord’”. We have not followed cunningly devised fables. We have not followed the interpretation of a man. We have not followed a man that came from the South whom the Lord led here. They kicked him out right through the United States until He brought him here to the eastern United States, in New England with that vision. Some of you don’t know your privilege. You have to see your privilege. This vision was in the prophet’s heart.

SOMEBODY’S GOING TO SEE THIS VISION AND TAKE IT ON

Quote W.M.B.: E-31 God wants the church to be filled with the Holy Ghost, doing the same works that He did when He was here on earth… That's the kind of Church that the Teacher, the Holy Spirit, will want to present before God…And the church will have to have the same Spirit, doing the same things that Jesus did; or it'll never go in the rapture…That's exactly the way the church has got to be. Jesus was always about the Father's business, doing that which was right in His sight... Enoch walked with God five hundred years, and had a testimony that he pleased God. And he was a type of the raptured Church. Oh, but we're short. Then that child... God had to raise up another child. And if Pentecost fails God, God's able of these stones to rise children unto Abraham. God can call it from the Lutheran, from the Baptists, from the Presbyterians; God's able of these stones to rise children to Abraham. Somebody's going to see the vision and take it on. Hear Ye Him 60-0313.

Quote: 92-4 God's going to have a church…Oh, if people could really from your heart, all of us could say that: "Be it unto me according to Thy Word, Lord." Really mean it. One or two or somewhere out in there It's going to pick up some predestinated that really means that, and, brother, you're going to see sparks flying right then (That's right.). Spoken Word Original Seed 62-0318e.

REVIVAL IN NEW ENGLAND

It came here first. Let the world hear what we are saying. There will be a revival in New England! The church in Connecticut is lined up for that revival and that revival can only come by an Outpouring of the Holy Spirit! I don’t care how dead Sarah’s womb is today around the world; there will be a revival! Glory to God!

REVIVAL TO START IN NEW ENGLAND

Quote W.M.B.: E-3 And praying that sometime along this way, that something will happen to the people that'll set their hearts afire for God, that an old fashioned revival will break out in New England.

“It's tried on the west coast; it's tried in the middle east, tried in the south, but seemingly that this is our last place to try: New England. Here's where our forefathers landed for this freedom of religion on Plymouth Rock …

“If we'll be sincere and believe in the God that they believed in and serve Him with the same reverence that they served Him with, we'll see a revival again. And I believe it will start in New England. God's willing to do it if we're willing to carry it. Tested Faith Produces Goods 58-0518.

GOD WILL RESTORE NO MATTER WHAT

Quote: 69-4 God said, "I will restore. No matter how much they organize, how much they do this, that, or the other, I'm going to restore It." That settles it. All the laughing, making fun, scoffing, calling holy-rollers, nonsense, everything you want to, God still said, "I will restore, saith the Lord."

“Just as sure as He raised Jesus out of the grave under three days, under three dispensations, or three sections, He's going to raise the church to Its fullness and power again.”I will restore, saith the Lord. Restoration Of Bride Tree 62-0422.

Therefore, we consider not the deadness of Sarah’s womb. I do not care how dead the mixed multitude that follows this message is, we are not going to consider that. That has nothing to do with the promises of God and the Outpouring of the Holy Spirit. That has nothing to do with the promise of the rapture or the promise of a revival here in New England. No! The Lord promised it, He is more than able to bring it to pass. All that I have seen over the years is that we are getting stronger in faith. Now I don’t know how many share that understanding, but we are not as we used to be. I believe that the church, wherever they are upholding that promise, is getting stronger in faith. If anybody sees that we are getting weaker, they are seeing wrong. Beloved, we have heard things that we never heard in times past. The Spirit of the Lord dwells among us in such a measure as it never used to be. It used to be, when some offence came up in the church, the Spirit of the Lord would be gone for about three months back in the days of those great servants of God that preached to you. But here now, there is a constant flow of the Spirit. I believe that we are nearing that Outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

Abraham waited and waited and waited and it seemed like it would never come, but it did come one day. We have waited and waited and waited here. It must come to pass. Each one of us has to claim it for ourselves.

We are not going to consider the deadness of Sarah’s womb. Never mind what condition that you are in as a believer; don’t count the deadness of your soul. All that should make you do is to press forward and march on with the Word of God. Repent, pray, fast; never think of going back to the world. If your body is sick, if the Lord could transform Sarah, I believe that He is more than able to heal your body. If God could take an old woman and make her a young woman, I believe that cancer is nothing before the Lord. A headache is nothing before the Lord; arthritis is nothing before the Lord; sugar diabetes is nothing before the Lord. All that He wants you to do is to believe. Be strong in faith!

The Lord is going to push our backs against a wall to cause us to believe in divine healing, and it is happening right now. He is going to push us into such a place where He will force the church to look up to Him for divine healing, and we had better start now.

Brother Branham said that we should be far past the days of laying on of hands.

WE SHOULD BE ON A HIGHER LEVEL

Quote W.M.B. E-19 Jairus said, "Come lay Your hands on my daughter, and she'll be healed." Jewish--Jews always was laying on hands… But watch the Gentile; it wasn't so. "I'm not worthy that You come under my roof. Just speak the word and my servant will live." And He turned around and said, "I never seen faith like that in Israel." There it is. We're supposed to be on a higher level than that was…The Gentile way is to believe the Word. Queen Of Sheba 60-0710.

We should come up to the Gentile faith of <Speak the word and my servant shall be healed!> Why not press in? Why not yield yourself in that direction and say, “Lord, I believe that I could be healed while sitting in my very seat. I accept that. I believe it.” And continue to press right there.

RIGHT MENTAL ATTITUDE WILL BRING IT TO PASS

Quote W.M.B.: E-30 The right mental attitude toward any Divine promise of God will bring it to pass. The Principles Of Divine Healing 51-0923.

You have to keep pressing; you have to keep knocking; you have to maintain the right attitude, confessing faith for anything. The same faith that goes for divine healing goes for your salvation. No matter what faults or failures you have, you just believe, “Lord, I could be saved.”

<And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.> Mark 16:15-16.

If you sit there with unbelief and think, “I can’t be saved; I am too undone. Look how many faults I have,” then you will be lost—so simple it is. If you want to really serve the Lord and go in that rapture, but you have some faults that are fighting you, keep confessing that faith, “Lord, I don’t care what happens, I believe I’ll be saved; I believe I’m a child of God.” Now that faith will save you. Isn’t it wonderful? Sure, the plan of salvation is wonderful! Never mind the sickness; never mind the problems that you are having. You have to continue to be strong in faith.

BRANHAM - MAN OF FAITH IN PROMISED OUTPOURING

Brother Branham today was like Abraham. Abraham had a promise. The prophet of God, like Abraham, had a promise. Now Brother Branham was a great man of faith. Many years ago, Brother Branham was given that Promise of a great Church to come on the scene and of the people going back to Pentecost in preparation for the rapture. The prophet of God knew very well that all these promises (such as the manifested sons of God, the Latter Rain, the Outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the super Church) were laying in the Bible; and he knew very well that there is only one thing that will bring those promises to pass, and that is another Outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

The mission of the prophet of God was likened unto Moses. Moses had one mission—to take the people out of Egypt Land and take them into the Promised Land. What should have been done in three days, from Egypt land to the Promise Land, took forty years. Do you know why it lingered so much? It was the unbelief of the people that kept them out of the land and kept them wandering in the wilderness forty years.

Now that can safely be applied to the message and the messenger today and the people that heard him. Brother Branham came with a certain vision in mind. He came with a certain Promise that was to turn the hearts of the children to the fathers. If you miss everything that will be said, hold on to this thing: the mission of Brother Branham was to turn the hearts of the children to the fathers. That means to take the people back to Pentecost. That was the mission of Malachi 4:5-6. That is your Scripture to show that Brother Branham was sent with a mission to bring the people back to Pentecost.

RESTORE THE FAITH – BACK TO PENTECOST

Quote W.M.B.: E-55 According to Malachi 4, it's the message to restore the faith of the fathers to the children, a message. But the original church begin in Jerusalem, A.D. 33, on the day of Pentecost. That's where we'd have to go back to. I'm trying to get back there. But see that antichrist move, trying to make that antichrist, when the real Spirit of God's trying to move them back to the original faith again? Uncertain Sound 62-0714.

TURN HEARTS BACK TO PENTECOST

Quote: 363 The last thing before the Church was…taken up in Revelations the 3rd chapter, was a coming forth of a messenger unto the Laodicean church age, that would turn the hearts of the people back to the early fathers, get them back to the regular Pentecost, what they claim to have. Perfect Strength 61-1119.

Now that is clear as a whistle and there should not be any doubts or fears after hearing his statements. Just as Abraham had a promise that he will have a son by Sarah, he preached, that he had a Promise from God.

My, they were young people. Sarah was a beautiful woman; one of the most beautiful in that country that even the king wanted her. Abraham had to tell lies sometimes in order to protect his wife. She was beautiful but she was unfruitful. She was beautiful but barren. Abraham heard that promise of God that she would bring forth a son. Brother Branham knew the same thing in his heart, that there would be a super Church come on the scene before the rapture. That super Church is typed out as the son that Abraham was looking for.

When your shepherd preached about Isaac, he said, “When we see Isaac, we will laugh and sing.” In other words, he was trying to tell you, “When you see that Outpouring of the Holy Spirit come, you will laugh and sing.” That man really kept up the vision here, Beloved. It is only now that we can really appreciate that.

As Abraham bore patience, so did Brother Branham bear patience here in the end time. He knew very well that in all his preaching of eleven hundred and fifty sermons, the church had not gone back to Pentecost. He knew very well that they were not getting anywhere.

THE PROPHET THOUGHT THAT THE CHURCH WAS READY

Back there, the more Abraham planted the seed, the more old Sarah got, and in worse shape and condition. So even though Abraham was fruitful, (you remember he went and took Hagar and brought forth a son), the problem was with Sarah. Nothing was wrong with Brother Branham’s ministry. He proved that he was fruitful: He had signs; he had wonders; he had miracles; he went around the world seven times; men fell dead before him. He was fruitful, but the problem today is the deadness of Sarah’s womb. Even in that, it had a purpose. As I say sometimes, if the Lord did not make Sarah barren, the bad seed, Ishmael, would have come through her. So that seed had to pass out and it brought forth an Ishmael through a Hagar. Then when the right time came around, the Lord blessed the womb of Sarah. So you see all things work together for good.

CHURCH NATURAL & SPIRITUAL – TWO TIMES, PEOPLE & COVENANTS

Quote W.M.B.: 58 Here the seed starts then in a promise slightly doubted…the bondswoman's children cannot be heir with the freewoman's children, because they are of two different categories…That's where the trouble is today. You can't make a denominational chicken believe with a eagle…you're not heirs together…It could not be heir with Ishmael, the seed of the bondswoman--because of the doubting. Sarah doubted God's Word, that God was able to keep It. Notice, Abraham... did not doubt it…Neither can the natural be heir with the spiritual. No more can Ishmael's children be heir with Isaac's children, and no more than the carnal can be heir with the spiritual.

“Church natural, church spiritual... There is a church natural that these women here type, and there's a church spiritual also. So the natural church and the spiritual church cannot be heirs together. They're two different, separate times, two different separate people, under two different separate covenants…Therefore, they will not be heirs together; they'll not be in the rapture together. Seed Not Heir With Shuck 65-0218.

Brother Branham sowed that seed. At one time, he thought that this was the Bride. He thought that was the Church. You will see that in some of his statements and quotations that speak in such a way that “the Church is already sealed up; she is ready to go; the only thing to happen now is the rapture.” The prophet actually thought that everything was fine with the church because of the great message that he was preaching.

The more Abraham sowed that seed, the older Sarah got. She was a young woman in full bloom when she could have brought forth that child; but then what happened? One day her milk veins dried up and then a few years passed. She went into menopause and that finished her time of life.

Now, that lady had many reasons to laugh, so don’t condemn her. She grew a little weak. She knew that she could not even stand the birth pains to bring forth this child. So she smiled and said, <Me, an old woman, going to bring forth this child—have pleasure with my Lord?> The Lord heard her, and with His back turned to the tent said, <Why did Sarah laugh?> Sarah said, <I didn’t laugh.> She got scared. He said, <You did surely laugh.> In all her unbelief, the Lord still had mercy upon her.

MIXED MULTITUDE – FOLLOWERS OF BRANHAM BARREN - DEAD AS SARAH’S WOMB

Today we have Sarah. Brother Branham was with Sarah from the beginning and he was trying to preach the Gospel to her to produce a super Church and take her back to Pentecost. The more Brother Branham preached, the worst the church got. Friends, since the prophet left, they are in a worse condition today—heresies have flooded the churches. I say this to the entire world! The followers of Malachi 4.5-6 (or the mixed multitude) are powerless around the world. All the miracles that they try to hatch up and all their make belief, all the boasts that they are propagating that miracles are happening in Africa, India, and in the next place are lies. Many of the miracles that are happening around the world at the present time are lying signs and wonders. The Bible prophesied of such.

Now I want to anchor that down very well. The followers of Malachi 4 and the mixed multitude that were pulled out of organizations are as dead as Sarah’s womb. The people that follow this message have become more immoral in their dressing than so-called Pentecost. They now cut their hair and wear high heel shoes. Some of them put on lipstick and say, “That is okay.” They are on the sports field. They wear these sack dresses as the official style. That style came out in the 1960’s from America and came down to the West Indies. Even unsaved people condemned the women that were wearing that kind of dress. That mermaid-type dress is the pattern right now for the women that follow the message around the world.

Now Sarah has really grown old and her milk veins are dried up. She is in her menopause—spiritually speaking. The condition of the followers of Malachi 4 is terrible. In almost every assembly there are heresies. False prophets have arisen. Eighth messengers, adulterers, fornicators, liars and thieves are behind the pulpit. That is what the deadness of Sarah’s womb represents today.

THE PROPHET FAILED TO PRODUCE A SUPER CHURCH – GOD TOLD WHY

They had a great man called Brother Branham. He preached the Word of God with that vision to try to produce this super Church. He never shunned to declare the Gospel to them. Brother Branham tried all kinds of things: he prayed, he fasted, and preached the Word of God. He tried to operate the third pull amongst the people by faith, even by going into a room. Then something happened along the way. In 1962, Brother Branham wondered what was happening. “I have preached the Word of God. Lord, why is not this super Church on the scene?” The Lord spoke to his prophet and told him that the revival is over. After all, that revival did not produce the super Church. Brother Branham said,

REVIVAL SUCCESS – STINKING BUNCH OF CHURCH MEMBERS

Quote W.M.B.: 142-143 That stinking dead man was only thing he'll

point his finger 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, this revival has crossed over, so called, is a stinking bunch of church members that knows no more about God than a Hottentots would know about Egyptian night. …That's an awful thing to have to point back to, for all the strains and struggles and everything we got. Paul A Prisoner 63-0717.

That shows you the deadness of the church, just like Sarah’s womb was dead. The prophet of God was saying that he produced a dead church. That was the comparison he was making. This church that Brother Branham left behind did not have the nine divers gifts amongst them. They did not have a five-fold ministry set in order, but you had a bunch of preachers, God called men and some miracles and signs amongst some sincere people. Do not get the idea that we do not believe in signs and wonders. We do, but I am talking about in the magnitude of the book of Acts. The prophet of God said,

PENTECOSTAL BRANCH CHURCH- ANOTHER BOOK OF ACTS

Quote W.M.B.: If the first church that come off of that vine, was a Pentecostal church, with all the gifts, if that ever really puts out another branch, they'll write another Book of Acts behind it. God Has a Provided Lamb 64-0620E.

VISION OF THE PROPHET- OUR VISION- RAPTURE POWER , SPEAK THE WORD

And that was Brother Branham’s vision, to produce a branch Church from Pentecost that will have another book of Acts written behind it. That is our vision. That was the vision of Brother Lambert. That was the vision of Brother George. That was the vision of Brother McGahee. That is our vision. We would not stagger at the Promise of God and we are not going to consider the deadness of Sarah’s womb. It doesn’t matter how dead it may become and how worldly and immoral the people get; and how much the people deny the Promise of God, saying, “There won’t be any manifested sons of God. We now have perfect love,” (and hate us with bitter hatred). Saying, they “now have perfect faith,” and don’t even have faith for divine healing.

RAPTURING FAITH – FAITH FOR DIVINE HEALING

Quote W.M.B.: I truly believe, before the church can have the rapture, it's got to have rapturing faith. We can't even have faith for Divine healing, let alone rapturing faith. Got to have a faith that'll change and quicken this body, and be taken away. I believe there's a church on its road tonight, a power of the living God, that men will speak the Word here and there, and it'll flash like lightning. And a church is coming out, not a psychologist, not some of this put-on, make-belief; but a real, true, genuine, anointed Holy Ghost, called-out church. Amen. Israel and the Church #4 IC 97-128 53-0328.

Forget the rapture until you get faith for your divine healing. I think we better get started right tonight and start looking up to the Lord when we get sick. The prophet of God said.

IF THE DOCTOR CAN’T HELP YOU – GO TO THE LORD

Quote W.M.B.: E-61 Your first duty when you get sick, of course, you go to your doctor. He does all he can do. If he can't do no more, you have a right to go the great Specialist then. Conference With God 59-1220m.

IF THE DOCTORS CAN’T HELP YOU – GOD IS DUTY BOUND

Quote: E-26 And if a crisis has rose today, when we got more sickness then the world's ever knowed, diseases like cancer, heart trouble, that the doctors can't touch, then God's duty bound to act the same way He did then, or He acted wrong when He acted that time. Law Having a Shadow 56-0621.

That’s what the prophet preached. I believe that the Lord could heal you tonight. I believe He could heal our sick bodies. We have leaned away too much from divine healing and leaned towards science and medicine. But I will tell you something now: science is coming to the end of their wits. They are going to reach to a place where they cannot help us. As the church of God, we better believe. We don’t want the Lord to push us; we want to believe out of our free will.

BACK TO PENTECOST - PROMISED LAND - ISHMAEL

Sarah today is barren. The prophet of God kept on preaching the Word with the hope of taking the people back to Pentecost to produce a super Church, to make them ready for the rapture and to bring forth the manifested sons on the scene. All these things can be found on the series of messages that Brother Branham preached called “Manifested Sons” and “Predestinated Mystery of His Will,” “Hear Ye Him,” “Adoption”, etc. Brother Braham was trying to line up the church, to show the people the vision he was trying to put over and what must be produced today before the rapture comes.

I am so thankful that we caught that vision. Friends, we could have gone on thinking that the message is: “God sent a prophet”, water baptism, and “come out of organization”. That is not the message! The message is not “come out of Egypt!” The message is: “Let us go to the Promised Land!” That is the real message. This is where Israel failed. Israel failed by having unbelief in entering the Promised Land; and that is where the people that follow this message failed. They failed to see that there is an Outpouring of the Holy Spirit and a revival coming on the scene, and that they must be prepared for that. Beloved, as strange as this may sound, in Brother Branham’s attempt today to produce an Isaac, (to bring the church back to Pentecost) he produced an Ishmael.

ISHMAEL’S CHILDREN CAN’T BE HEIR WITH ISAAC’S CHILDREN – TYPE TODAY

Quote W.M.B.: 58 “Neither can the natural be heir with the spiritual. No more can Ishmael's children be heir with Isaac's children… two different separate people, under two different separate covenants…Therefore, they will not be heirs together; they'll not be in the rapture together.” Seed Not Heir With Shuck 65-0218.

Quote: “It's a thing, sometime, we have to say things in such a way that it might thin down, it might bring some to go out, some to leave, and some to ponder over. But that's done purposely. It must be done that way.” (The Unveiling Of God 64-0614M)

ISHMAEL PRODUCED – BIOGRAPHY SUPERNATURAL

So Brother Branham in his great effort to produce this Church of God produced first an Ishmael. Ishmael was the first born of Abraham. They knew the message first. They sat in the tabernacle. They were the friends of the prophet—hunted with the prophet, fished with the prophet. They were the first born; but then something started happening. Ishmael was unruly and he was not the son of the promise; he was the son of the bond woman: organization; and brought his birth from over there. If you read their magazines carefully, these are the same men that arose as heretics. Study some of them, and you will see that the great names that were with Brother Branham are the ones that did turn out to be heretics, pretending to interpret Brother Branham’s message.

Look at this man that wrote “Supernatural: The Life of William Branham”, the great biography of Brother Branham. I tell you, that work is outstanding, brethren. We checked a website and you would be surprised to know how many heresies this man is preaching. He is the one who influenced Brother C.W. Wood. Right now he is under exposition in EODH Book 13. The fact is that he wrote that wonderful biography of Brother Branham and then perverted his message. He is wrong. We have about twenty heresies that this man is preaching, proclaiming that the seventh seal is opened, the half hour silence is twenty years, and the Second Coming of the Lord includes his physical return with His Bride. Can you imagine such rotten heresies that this man is projecting? He said, “The tent vision is the world-wide Bride.” Boy, if that is the tent today—“the deadness of Sarah”—I don’t want to enter that tent. Who wants to enter a tent like that?

In doing some writing, I was asking him, “If that is the tent, where is the small room, the woman and the man who were healed, and the people that lined up for one city block to come for their healing?” I asked him to repent and turn away from such heresies.

Time will fail to tell you of the bunch of fanatics that have arisen that show up the deadness of Sarah’s womb. That is why the Spirit of the Lord cannot move. Some of them say, “The seventh seal was broken to the public in 1965.” “When Brother Branham preached the rapture, that was the breaking!” You are talking about Sarah’s womb being dead, dead, dead! This goes for the Branham tabernacle—they are the deadest of all! We are no respecter of persons here. Brother Branham said that they will be that way. He said,

YOUR TABERNACLE WON’T EAT THE BREAD OF LIFE ANYMORE

Quote W.M.B.: I saw a small heap of smooth-baked bread. There were white fowls standing near it, but they would not eat much of it. Then the Lord said to me, "Do you know them?" I said, "No." Then He said, "That is your Tabernacle, and they won't eat the Bread of Life anymore. I Was Not Disobedient To The Heavenly Vision.

YOU’RE GOING ON TO AN OLD FASHION REVIVAL OR ELSE

Quote: And tonight the Branham Tabernacle's got to make up its mind. We're either going to go on or go back. That's right. You're going back to garlic, and leek, and stuff of Egypt, or you're going on with Angel's food to the Promised Land, where God made a promise. You're going on to an old fashion Holy Ghost revival, or you'll be wishy-washy, packing around, and pecking like a robin on a apple until the day you die. You've got to make your decision; you can't go on. At Kadesh Barnea 56-0527.

THEY TURNED IT INTO A HOG LOT

Quote: “And I got down there to the river and I understood it was a place where John the Baptist had been baptizing the people, and they had turned it into a hog lot. And I was very critical of it… And at that time, the Angel of the Lord spake to me, and said, "But this is not your Tabernacle." (Present Stage of My Ministry 62-0908)

FOLLOWERS OF THE PROPHET POWERLESS – MAKE BELIEF

I am stating with all authority, that the followers of Malachi 4 right around the world today are powerless. They have a make-belief; they have immorality in the camp; and that shows up the deadness of Sarah’s womb. The Bride elect is amongst them. I am not saying that all the followers of Malachi 4 are lost. There are three kinds of believers and the Bride is in that mixed multitude. We thank God for a handful that have come out of the mixed multitude and now contend for another Outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Oh Beloved, are you not happy to be numbered in that little handful? Are you not happy that this vision is even going out to other people that are contending for the faith? Let us wake up and be thankful to God for our salvation.

An Ishmael was produced under Brother Branham. I preached a message that won two churches in south Trinidad entitled: “Brother Branham Had Two Sons”, one was Ishmael and the other was Isaac. That came out so well that it won those congregations. They left Ishmael and desperately started following the Lord Jesus, Isaac, for another Outpouring.

Brother Branham wondered what the problem was. He was wondering, “What happened to the revival? Where is the Church that I am supposed to produce?” Brother Branham went to seek the Lord and the Lord told him to pick up his pen and write. The inspiration of the Holy Ghost hit him just like it hit Moses, Jeremiah and those other great prophets.

The first line was the law of reproduction—every seed must bring forth of its own kind. Brother Branham realized the problem was in the reproduction. Later on in that prophesy, the Lord confirmed to the prophet that there will indeed be a super Church and a super race but it is going to come by the Headstone. That relieved the prophet of God and helped him to understand how he could preach so much to the people, and yet Sarah’s womb remained dead. The Lord gave him a hope and showed him that God has a certain plan and program, and it is tied up in the law of reproduction. The problem was tied up in the law of reproduction with Abraham. The reason why a super Church was not produced is because there existed a problem which relates to the law of reproduction. The problem that was revealed to Brother Branham was that the law of reproduction was not enforced; therefore there is not a super Church on the earth. This is getting ready now for the opening of the Seals—the law of reproduction. The Lord comforted the prophet.

LAW OF REPRODUCTION – EVERY SEED AFTER ITS KIND

Quote W.M.B.: 60-3 Every seed brings forth of its kind. The denominational seed will bring forth of its kind. The Pentecostal organization will bring forth of its kind. The Baptists will bring forth of its kind. Spoken Word Original Seed 62-0318m.

SEED THROUGH A BORN AGAIN SEED OF THE WORD

Quote: 116-4 Remember God's law of reproduction. Now, remember, after its kind. Is that right? The Seed of Christ, the Word …(m-u-s-t), must come through His Body, not through a denomination, but through a borned again Seed of the Word… Seed is through the body, and the church is the body of Christ (Is that right?), the Bible church. This birth produces (That's the new birth.) Spoken Word Original Seed 62-0318m.

LIFE COMES THROUGH THE BODY

Quote: 117-6 Although an Angel directed Philip to him, but the germ of Life had to come through the body… Where did the germ come from? Through the Angel?... A Angel is a messenger; here's a son. Philip had the Germ, the Message, the Word. That's how a child can be born…Philip baptized him in the Name of Jesus Christ. There come forth the Spirit of God. Sure. Now, the germ had to come from the body. What body? Christ's body. Correct. And Philip was a member of the Body. Peter… An Angel directed him to Cornelius' house, but where did the Word come from? The body…And while Peter spake these words, not the Angel, not the cardinal, while Peter spake these words... What? He was the body. He had the Word. The Word took hold. Oh, brother. Oh, my. Angel directed it, but the Life come through the body of Christ. Spoken Word Original Seed 62-0318m.

GOD’S SON THE EXAMPLE SEED

Quote: 30-1 God's Son was His example Seed. And what His Life was when the Spirit poured upon Him after His baptism and the Holy Ghost come upon Him, the very Life that He produced will--that same watering Spirit of the Holy Ghost will bring forth the same kind of a Life, doing the same thing that He did; if it's the same Seed. Son of God Seed will bring forth a Son of God Seed. Spoken Word Original Seed 62-0318m.

TRUE PROPHETS BRINGS TRUE WORD, GET A TRUE EXPERIENCE

Quote: 119 True prophets, the true Word. False prophets, false word…You follow that true Word, and you get a true experience of the Word, because the Word is made flesh in you, and you become God's son, and the Word of God is revolving right out of God into you, because you are of His Nature, His Spirit is in you, and you'll do the works of God…False prophets bring false words. What do they do? Have false sensations. Ye Must Be Born Again 61-1231M.

FALSE TEACHERS BRING FALSE WORD LEAD MILLIONS TO A FALSE BIRTH

Quote: 129 Now, false teachers will bring false births. True prophets will bring the Word, the birth of the Word, Christ. False prophets will bring false birth, the birth of churches, the birth of creeds, the birth of denominations…false sensations, and tell a man he's got the Holy Ghost 'cause he speaks with tongues. Them kind of false conceptions… lead millions of people to a false birth. Ye Must Be Born Again 61-1231M.

The prophet of God understood what was happening.

Abraham planted seeds until he was a hundred years old. Brother Branham planted seeds from Africa to India and seven times around the world and he could not produce that Church. Something was missing. Someone had to come down from heaven. My Lord! With all that Abraham did, he never knew that little secret that God had to come down upon the face of the earth and say, “I have come to fulfill my promise that I made to you twenty-five years ago.” It was waiting for that time. Abraham was just sitting at his tent door one day. And what had to happen in order for Sarah to conceive is that Revelation 10:1 had to stand on earth.

The reason Brother Branham never produced the super Church is because the Lord had to descend from heaven with a shout and with a voice and the Seals had to be opened. Then Brother Branham understood very much. The Lord told him in 1962 what the problem was. The only time Sarah actually received seed and conceived is when that Angel stood upon land and stood upon sea. Now don’t think it is some secondary angel; that was almighty God. Don’t you get confused; Revelation 10:1 is God! Yes, sir! Oh my! That is so wonderful!

Sarah remained barren. She could not conceive for all that time and the Lord never told Abraham why. He had to come to fulfill the promise. Brother Branham could not produce that Church, but the Lord gave him a little hint. He said, “The problem is in the law of reproduction. Don’t worry.” Then about one year after that, the Seals were opened and the prophet of God said,

FULL WORD BORN AGAIN INTO MANIFESTATION

Quote W.M.B.: 100 At the opening of the Seven Seals, Revelations 10, the full Word is to be borned into manifestation again and vindicated by the Spirit of God in the full strength, as It was when It was here on earth, manifested in the same way, doing the same things that It did when It was here on earth. Amen. Hebrews 13:8 said Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Seed Not Heir With Shuck 65-0218.

Listen, that is not a different Angel, Friend. Revelation 10:1 and the Lord that met Abraham at his tent door is the very same Fellow.

I Thessalonians 4:16: <For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first.>

The only thing to change the deadness of Sarah’s womb was the descending of Almighty God upon the face of the earth. It revived Sarah and changed her womb. I am telling you that we are in line up. Thank God we have that blessing that “we were once dead but are now made alive.” We were dead in our organization, dead with our interpretation, dead in our sins, but something

took place upon the face of the earth.

REVELATION 10:1 FOR TRANSLATION POWER

I fully believe that Revelation 10:1 is upon the earth now and that is the Presence that we feel up here. That is the One that gives us strength. That is the One that gives us boldness. That is the One that causes us to write EODH. Without Him, Sarah will remain dead. Oh, glory to God! If you want life and you want revival, you must contact Revelation 10:1. Sarah and Abraham had to contact that Angel for the revival. These are great mysteries, wonderful! When God came down and drank milk and ate meat, he was in a human body. That comes right up to the Son of Man.

REVEALING OF SON OF MAN FOR RAPTURE

Quote W.M.B.: 235 That was not Jesus; He had not yet been born. But it was a Man in human flesh, that Abraham called, "Elohim, the great Almighty,"... And Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Sodom," so will it be at the coming of the Son of man, when the Son of man is being revealed."…"In that day the Son of man will be revealed." What? To join the Church to the Head, unite, the marriage of the Bride.

“The Bridegroom call will come right through this, when the Son of man will come down and come in human flesh to unite the two together. The Church has to be the Word; He is the Word, and the two unites together, and to do that it'll take the manifestation of the revealing of the Son of man…Jesus Christ, will come down in human flesh among us, and will make His Word so real that it'll unite the Church and Him as one, the Bride, and then she'll go Home to the wedding supper…the rapture is going to the wedding supper. Proving His Word 64-0816.

What happened there is that Sarah turned into a young woman. My God, you talk about a miracle! Abraham turned into a young man, twenty to twenty two years of age! (I am not talking about a little revival). Sarah became beautiful again, about twenty or twenty two years of age. Now there are certain proofs of that in the Bible: after that, she went into a certain place and a young king fell in love with her—so don’t tell me she was “granny” at all! Another thing, after Sarah’s death, “Grandpa” Abraham—a hundred years of age—married another woman, Keturah, and had children! He was not an old man, Friends.

If God could transform the body of Abraham back there under the law, why can’t He transform your body? If God could transform the body, why can’t He heal you? Only if you believe, all things are possible. I feel that God who was able to transform an old lady into a young woman is able to translate the church. That’s a fantastic miracle! Everybody in that area should have believed the Gospel. I don’t want to dramatize, but here is that woman walking with a stick and spit falling down on the side of her mouth. She is a quarrelsome old lady without any teeth, chewing her gum and often she tried to quarrel with Abraham, “Gramps”, walking with a stick. He has a little arthritis on one side, hopping on the next side and all of a sudden, they turn into two young people! My God, we want that! Brother Chan, we could do with something like that! Oh, Brother Kenny, we could do with something like that right now!

I believe that the Lord will strengthen our bodies and give us a certain amount of energy even when the Token comes. I believe that we will have Holy Ghost energy, and will act like that fellow whom the Lord took away. Holy Ghost energy in Elijah caused that man to run faster than Ahab’s horses! The man got tuned up by the Holy Ghost; when he saw rain coming, he passed the best horses in the kingdom.

Now what will that Token do? What would the Holy Ghost do? What would that fullness do? What would that Outpouring do? How people could sit down for something dead is beyond me. I believe in a big God. I believe in a God of miracles. I believe in a God of signs. I believe in a God of wonders. I believe we could walk on the waters again. Not only walk on the waters, but I believe that we could be transported by angels!

Look what happened there in the Old Testament. That is a fantastic miracle, brethren. Think of the reality: two old people quarreling in a tent, and then they emerge in full view of all the herdsmen and everybody. They walked out arm in arm, beautiful faces, all their hair that dropped off came back. All eyes popped out! I don’t know what they thought, but if I was there, I would wonder a lot of things. They had just seen a fellow sitting there talking to Abraham, eating meat, butter, milk and cheese; and Sarah and Abraham walked out in the splendor of their youth and beauty! My Beloved, that is what is going to happen to you before the rapture takes place. God foreshadowed it. Before we look down, we will all turn young. My God! Could you imagine that for the rapture!

GOD TURNED SARAH BACK TO A YOUNG WOMAN

Quote W.M.B.: E-79 Why did the King of Gerar, down there, fall in love with Sarah, a little grandma, a hundred years old, looking for a sweetheart. She's a beautiful young woman. He turned her back to a young woman to show what He will do to all Abraham's seed. Some of these days, mother, the wrinkles will leave your face. Dad, that gray hair will drop away. The God of Abraham will come. Things will be changed then. We'll come back in the split. Queen Of Sheba 60-0110.

Quote: E-46 Sarah… I can see her now: that black, shiny hair, those big velvet eyes, pretty face, she was a young woman then, probably in her early twenties. Abraham, strong and healthy, young man: changed from an old broke down fellow to a young man, showing what He's going to do to all the seed of Abraham. That's exactly. Abraham's Covenant Confirmed 61-0318.

Young Fellows don’t miss that at all! There isn’t a woman beautiful enough in this world for you to trade that Great Blessing for. Sisters, don’t trade that for anything in the world. My Brother, my Sister who is sick today, I want to encourage your hearts to be strong in faith, giving glory to God in all your sickness, in all your troubles. It doesn’t matter what the doctor says. The God who was able to transform Sarah and Abraham upon this earth and make them young people is able to heal your body. I believe it! Accept it in your heart! Believe it in your heart and say, “Lord, just speak the Word and I will be healed.”

Don’t you see the glory of the Scripture? It took Revelation 10:1 to come down to Abraham in order to change the deadness of Sarah’s womb. So there will be an elected group coming out of the mixed multitude today from around the world that will make up the Bride. Right now they are catching that vision. Right now they are contending for that faith.

You heard the letter of how that EODH reached amongst those people, the 300,000 people whom Brother Branham referred to in India? Nations are breaking and Israel’s awaking, the signs that the prophets foretold. EODH books reached right amongst those people and they believe the message. Some of them are organizational people.

I really believe that we are on the verge of something to happen. If it doesn’t happen today, it will happen tomorrow; if it doesn’t happen tomorrow, it will happen the next day. Our faith is growing stronger and stronger everyday. So accept your healing; accept your salvation; accept deliverance from any form of weakness that you may have; and the Lord grant you grace.

Think of Sarah and Abraham. Meditate upon the changes that they had. When God came to that tent, they had a revival but the child was not yet born. Over a period of time, after meeting Revelation 10:1, then Isaac came on the scene. Yes sir! Beloved, Isaac is going to come on the scene because we came in contact with Revelation 10:1. When we see Isaac we will laugh and sing! Glory to God!
