INFLUENCES_ TULARE.CA V-22 N-13 SATURDAY_ 64-0215
26 Remember, the Bible said, "You are living, written epistles, read of all man." Now, many people won't read the Bible, but God has made you a living representative. You are a walking letter, should be a walking Bible, Christ in you. You should be the walking Word of God.And if you profess to be a Christian, and not that, your influence, your... What you're influencing, will make you have to answer for many souls that you've turned aside, away from Christ, in that Day of the Judgment.
27 I think it behooves us, tonight, to think about that, for every man, woman, boy and girl, knows that you are coming to the Judgment. You might escape this, that, or the other. You might beat the income tax, and you might escape the Internal Revenue. You might do one thing or another. You might have run over the speed limit and the cops never catch you. But, one day, Judgment is going to catch you. That's certain!
THE.INVISIBLE.UNION.OF.THE.BRIDE.OF.CHRIST_ SHP.LA V-2 N-15 65-1125
29 Let us, O Lord, lay aside everything in our heart, everything in our mind, and look straight to Your Word, tonight, and for You to come and interpret It with living oracles. Grant it.
30 May Your Spirit fall upon us and anoint the Word to our heart, that we might go from here, this evening, better people than we are now, that we might have a closer insight on Jesus Christ. Grant it, Lord, that we might understand the day that we're living in, and the preparation of God for His people in this hour; this great, crucial, dark time that we're now living in. God, anoint it, not only speaker, but hearer. And, together, make our hearts to tremble at Your Word. "For the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom." Grant these things, Father, for we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.

9 God is in man. And He's identifying Himself today in His church. In the born-again Christian, God identifies. Himself, that He remains God. And the outside world will only know God as they see God in you and I. That's the only way that they'll know God, is when we are written epistles, epistle of the Scripture, we are read of all men. And the life that we live reflects what's on the inside of us. A man is identified by the works that he does. So our works should be good, see, always good, because we are representing our Lord Jesus Christ.
THIS.DAY.THIS.SCRIPTURE.IS.FULFILLED_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-8 FRIDAY_ 65-0219
51 Now, how could those people ever fail to see Who He was?
52 What a Word! Think of it, "This day is this Scripture fulfilled before your eyes." Who said it? God Himself, Who is the interpreter of His Own Word. "This day is this Scripture fulfilled." The Messiah, Himself, standing in the presence of the congregation and reading a Word out of the Bible, pertaining to Himself, and then saying, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled," and they still failed to see It.
53
54 And, therefore, they could not identify Him with them, because He was different from them. The Person of Jesus Christ was so unique that no one should have missed seeing that that was the Son of God, because He was the perfect identification of the Scripture that was wrote of Him.
55 That's the way any Christian is known, when his life identifies the very things that's the Christian is supposed to do.
59 And so is it today! Is because that we're in such a turmoil as we are, and people fail to see the Truth of God, is because there is too many man-made interpretations of God's Word. God don't need nobody to interpret His Word. He is His Own interpreter.
THIS.DAY.THIS.SCRIPTURE.IS.FULFILLED_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-8 FRIDAY_ 65-0219
60 God said, in the beginning, "Let there be light," and there was light. That doesn't need an interpretation.
61 He said, "A virgin shall conceive," and she did. That doesn't need any interpretation.
62 When, God's interpretation of His Word is when He vindicates and proves It to be so. That's His interpretation, by making it come to pass. That's where God's interpretation is, is when He makes His Word come to pass. He is interpreting It to you.
63 Like if there had never been light, and He said, "Let there be light," and there was, that don't need anybody to interpret.
64 But we get man-made systems mixed into It, and, when you do, you--you get It out of line. It's always been that way.
THIS.DAY.THIS.SCRIPTURE.IS.FULFILLED_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-8 FRIDAY_ 65-0219
65 But I still think of how striking it must have been. Think of it, the Messiah! Why did they fail to see Him? Because, their very leaders that ought to have knowed Him, that ought to have been versed in the Scripture, that ought to have been understanding of the Scriptures, they belittled this Man and said, "He's a illegitimate child, to--to begin with. We wouldn't believe That."
66 Years later, we don't believe that. We would die for the purpose to say that He was a virgin-born Son.
67 And it'll come to pass someday that, the very things that we see Jehovah doing today, men in the ages to come, if there is, will die for the thing that we're talking about today.
THIS.DAY.THIS.SCRIPTURE.IS.FULFILLED_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-8 FRIDAY_ 65-0219
68 You must believe It now. If those priests could rise up, that condemned Him, would not condemn Him. "But," you say, "if I'd have been there, I would have done so-and-so." Well, that wasn't your age. But, this is your age, this is the time.
You say, "Well, if He was here!"
69 The Bible said, "He's the same yesterday, today, and forever," the same, so He is here. But, He's here. As the world has civilized, become greater, and educated more; He's here in the Spirit form, which they cannot kill or put to death. He died once; He cannot die again. He had to be made flesh in order for God to be put to death in the flesh, for sin. But this time He could never die; It's the Holy Spirit.

245 As I have said, God don't need no interpreter. He interprets every Word Himself. See, you don't need somebody to interpret It to you, God interprets it to you when you're willing to accept It. See, that's the Life, that's Life Itself.
246 Jesus said, "In vain they worship Me." They actually worship God. Cain actually worshiped God, in the beginning. "But in vain do they worship Me." What's vain? "It don't do no good."
247 They might say, "Well, I do this. I dance in the spirit. I, I speak in tongues. I, I prophesy. I preach the Gospel." But fail to let your hair grow out, fail on one thing, and see what happens, the Spirit will leave you right there. That's what's happened to our churches, failed.
248 "In vain, worshiping Me. Oh, it's a beautiful worship. But in vain do they worship Me, teaching for doctrine the commandments of man."
THE.TOKEN_ DALLAS.TX V-19 N-12 SUNDAY_ 64-0308
154 The Token is the Word identified in you, living Itself out. That's God being His Own interpreter. You don't have to say, "Well, now, you interpret my tongue." That ain't it. He interprets your life by the Word. When He takes your word, what you are, and identify His Word through there, there don't need any interpretation, it's already there. God does His Own interpretation, and we've had these promises for the day.
GOD'S.CHOSEN.PLACE.OF.WORSHIP_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-7 SATURDAY_ 65-0220
86 How do we get into this place of worship? First Corinthians 12 , "By one Spirit!" . But, by Birth we are baptized into the Body of Jesus Christ! Amen. "By one Holy Spirit we are all baptized into one Body."
GOD'S.CHOSEN.PLACE.OF.WORSHIP_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-7 SATURDAY_ 65-0220
88 Notice, and when you are truly baptized into Him, the true evidence is that you believe Him, the Word.
How can you be a part of Him and then deny Him? How can I deny my hand being my hand? If there... If I do, there is something mentally wrong with me. And how can I? If there is something mentally wrong with me, deny that's my hand, deny that's my foot, there is something spiritually wrong with the believer that denies any Word that God ever said and promised. There is something spiritually wrong with that so-called believer.
89 You can't deny one letter of Him, because you have become a part of the same. You are a part of Him because you're baptized into Him; by, the Holy Spirit has brought you into the Body of Jesus Christ. What a beautiful thing!
GOD'S.CHOSEN.PLACE.OF.WORSHIP_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-7 SATURDAY_ 65-0220
90 God had a certain place He met--He met Abraham, and there Abraham worshiped. All down through the Testament!
And His promised Word will be interpreted in you, by Him. Did you get that? The Word that He promised to fulfill in the day that you're living in, you will be a written epistle of God, read of all man. Not what you claim, but what God does through you, will speak out louder than anything you could claim. God said, "These signs shall follow them that believe." That speaks through you.
91 He spoke of this age, what would be now. The believers of this age has to believe This, what He promised today. Just the same as they had to come into the ark, to be saved; go out of Egypt to be saved; they have to come into Christ, to be saved now, into the Word Message, that He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.
92 How do you get into It? By baptism! Baptism of what, water? By the Holy Ghost! "One Spirit, we're all baptized into this one Body."
GOD'S.CHOSEN.PLACE.OF.WORSHIP_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-7 SATURDAY_ 65-0220
93 And His promised Word, He will not... You won't have to interpret It. He will interpret It through you; what you are doing, what He promised to do. The Church that follows Him will be so much like Him until the people will know.
Look at Peter and John when they was questioned about healing a man at the gate called Beautiful. They said, "They perceived," those priests did, "that they were both ignorant and unlearned man," but they take notice that they had been with Jesus. Because, (what?) they were doing the things that He did.
THE.UNVEILING.OF.GOD_ JEFF.IN V-9 N-1 SUNDAY_ 64-0614M
259 It, the--the veil, has been lifted off of the Word. See? That's right. It's revealed to babes. It's--it's lifted. They see It. Then it will be, as once said, "When you see," when this veil is took off of the Word, the traditions is taken off the Word, as Jesus once said, "when you see Me, you see the Father." See? God and His Word is one. Now you understand? When the Word is manifested, what is It? See?
THE.UNVEILING.OF.GOD_ JEFF.IN V-9 N-1 SUNDAY_ 64-0614M
260 Jesus said, "Search the Scriptures, you think you have , You've believed in God, believe also in Me. If I do not the works of My Father, then don't believe Me. But if I do do the works, I and My Father are one. When you see Me, you have seen the Father."
261 And when you see the Word made manifest, you see the Father, God, because the Word is the Father. The Word is God. And the Word, made manifest, is God Himself taking His Own Word and manifesting It among believers. Nothing can make It live but believers, just believers.
PARADOX_ BAKERSFIELD.CA V-22 N-5 THURSDAY_ 64-0206B
239 Look at Judas standing there, as a clergyman up here, "Yes, walking in the Light," had power to heal the sick. Matthew 10 proves it. He sent them out, and they come back rejoicing, and devils was subject unto them. Judas with them! That's right. He said, "Don't rejoice that the devils is subject; but your names are written on the Lamb's Book of Life." Judas was with them. But when it come to taking the full Word of God, he turned It down.
240 So does people, today! See? Jesus said, "Man shall live by every Word," not just one or two Words. Every Word!
241 You say, "Well, Brother Branham, I can go for part of It. And I can't go..."
242 Then you got the interpreter Eve had. Uh-huh. He took every bit of It, interpreted It right, but one little phrase. It's got to be every bit of It. If the Bible says It that way, it's of no private interpretation.
SHALOM_ PHOENIX.AZ V-22 N-1 SUNDAY_ 64-0119
64 Your life proves whether Jesus is with you or not. Your life shows whether He is occupied here, or whether He is still in His heavens or not, whatever you are. "The works that I do shall you do also." How could you have Christ in you, and then the very Spirit in you deny His Word, take up a creed instead? It can't do it. He would defeat Himself by denying His Own Word.
65 Just because somebody put a wrong interpretation to It? You got a Bible, you can read like anybody else. Be sincere.
66 David said, "Put Him always before your face." Know that when we are meeting this new year, we're meeting it in the power of the resurrection of Christ. "He is always before me. I shall not be moved."
SHALOM_ PHOENIX.AZ V-22 N-1 SUNDAY_ 64-0119
67 Notice how infallible the Word is.
THE.SEED.OF.DISCREPANCY_ PHOENIX.AZ V-12 N-5 MONDAY_ 65-0118
50 He was the Word made manifest, He was God's interpretation of the Word, because He said, "Search the Scriptures, for in Them you think you have Eternal Life, and they are they that testify of Me." There you are. He--He was the interpretation of the Word. And every borned-again son and daughter of God of this age is the interpretation of the Word. You are written epistles, read of all men. Yes.
51 Notice, He said, "In vain they do worship Me, teaching discrepancy for Doctrine.
THE.SEED.OF.DISCREPANCY_ PHOENIX.AZ V-12 N-5 MONDAY_ 65-0118
52 Look, each age produce such a crop, every age has did it, and ours is no excuse. This is the great discrepancy that's ever been upon the earth, is on the face of the earth today.
54 And how those people back there, those priests, and they had their religions, their rituals, their rites and everything, but Moses stood as a vindication of the interpretation of the Word. Don't forget that! Moses was God's interpretation of His promise. He said he would do it; he was God's interpretation.
THE.SEED.OF.DISCREPANCY_ PHOENIX.AZ V-12 N-5 MONDAY_ 65-0118
57 And, remember, this sin that those people believed, that "we're all the same, we worship the same God, we should all belong to the same church, we should be the same people," that sin was never forgiven Israel! Jesus said, Himself, "They all are dead!"
60 So, we find the same old sower of discrepancy. And remember, that sin was never forgiven. Now, brother, if it was never forgiven then, what about now when the--the real seed of all the ages is coming together?
THE.SEED.OF.DISCREPANCY_ PHOENIX.AZ V-12 N-5 MONDAY_ 65-0118
64 Quicken means "brings to Life." The genuine Holy Spirit only brings to Life the Word that It is. See? And It quickens that Body.
THE.HARVEST.TIME_ PHOENIX.AZ V-18 N-6 SATURDAY_ 64-1212
226 It's got to be quoted just the way He said It. Then, if It's quoted right, He'll vindicate It to be so in your life. "That's how all men know you're written epistles read of God." Written epistle is this "Bible." Is that right? An epistle is the Bible. And you're a written Bible reflecting His Word, that perfect man again, in God.
THE.MIGHTY.GOD.UNVEILED.BEFORE.US_ PHIL.PA V-3 N-22 MONDAY_ 64-0629
114 Moses' veil; he was the living Word to the people. And today, the people that are veiled are the same thing. "They are written epistles, read of all men." Not a new epistle; but the Epistle that's been written, made manifest. It's--it's those who believe the Word and the promise of this day, that God is pouring out His Spirit, upon all flesh, and that is written epistles. And when a person tries to carnally impersonate that, it backfires. Your life shows what you are.
THE.IDENTIFIED.CHRIST.OF.ALL.AGES_ TOPEKA.KS V-20 N-1 WEDNESDAY_ 64-0617
79 That's the greatest debtment, the greatest robbery, the nations has ever known, was performed in England here not long ago, done by false lights. Seven-million-dollar, train robbery, never was known of before, in history. That was a great indebtment, a marker to the age of villians in the world.
80 And the greatest marker of villians in the age, in the world that we ever live in, is a false light in this hour that we're living in, trying to put us back under some kind of creed and things. When, we're a living epistles, or, in other words, we are epistles that's living, that's been written and now living out the Word of God, as He promised in the hour; manifested Word, epistles written, that's been living out. That's what the apostles was.
BROTHER HOLMES READ THE QUOTE THE OTHER DAY. IT IS NOT THE HYD.BOMB TO FEAR IT IS THE CHURCHES. PEOPLE THAT JUST RUN FROM ONE TO ANOTHER. THINK THEY ARE ALL THE SAME.HE SAID FEAR THEM . THEY ARE DEATH,THEY ARE DECIEVERS.THEY ARE KILLERS OF MEN AND DESTORIERS OF SOULS.
