TESTIMONY 39 But now, He said that there would be a Church in the last days. There'd be

a former and latter rain

would be pouring out together in the last days

. I believe that we're living in that day

I PETER 1:22 22 Seeing

ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

23 Being

born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which

liveth

and

abideth

for ever. Slide4

HOSEA 6:1-3

1 Come

, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us

up. 2 After

two days will

he revive us

: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his

sight. 3 Then

shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning;

and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.Slide5

TESTIMONY 40 And I am one,

that's

borned

out of season

from you Pentecostal brethren. I was raised up in no church at all. When I was a little boy, this Angel, this Light Who came over me... And there, down through my life, not knowing what It was until I received the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and He called me to be one among you, to be with you. And I thank God for that privilege of--of giving me that opportunity

THE.SIGNS.OF.HIS.COMING 69 Did

you know Joel said there will be a former and a latter rain? The former rain (f-o-r-m-e-r) means "

moureh

," Hebrew word which means a sowing rain--sowing a crop

.

What did you reap? Oh, the organization's built up; but where's God at? You've sowed denominational seed. When the Holy Ghost fell it made a denominational revival.

What

we need is get back to the Word. Get back to the real Word of God, and bring forth a Bride to Christ and the Word. True, back to the Word

Footnote: 2) According to Robert K.

Burkinshaw

, "Branham had attracted overflow crowds to Vancouver's Exhibition Garden in late 1947 with what appeared to many to be genuine demonstrations of miraculous powers of insight and physical healing.

The

'North

Battleford

brethren' (as they came to be known) and many others viewed the events of the Branham meetings as evidence that old-time Pentecostal power and

fervour

could be revived"Slide11

DOES.GOD.CHANGE.HIS.MIND

215

Now

, I am not He, but I am His servant

. I do not believe that you lay hands on people and give them gifts.

"Gifts and callings are without repentance." They are predestinated, of God, to meet the age and the time of that age. Any Bible student knows that's the truth.

THE.VOICE.OF.THE.SIGN 54 Moses

was called and foreordained to take this job that he was,

he had

taken.

Now

, I think there is where our Latter Rain brethren got mixed up, see,

they lay hands upon one another and make them prophets and so forth. Now, that isn't Scriptural.

"Gifts and callings are without repentance."

You are born whatever you are. You are, at the beginning, what you are

TESTED.FAITH.PRODUCES.GOODS 51 How

many believes that gifts and callings are without repentance? The Bible said there's five gifts in the church. God has set in the church Apostles, or missionaries, apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists, pastors. Truly. If there's apostle, there's a prophet. If there's a prophet, there's a teacher. If there's a teacher, there's a pastor or a

evangelist…

52

Now, you don't lay hands on one another for them gifts.

God has set in the

church…

(John the Baptist)

How

many knows that

Jer.

1:4 says,

"Before you was even formed in your mother's womb, I knew you, and I sanctified you, and ordained you a prophet to the nations.

"Slide18

9/03/13The Rains 2

19

Gifts and callings are not what somebody's done; it's what God has done. They're born; they're raised up with them; it's what God has done.

Now

, He calls some of us to preach, some of us to teach, some of us with different spirits of operation.

AS.I.WAS.WITH.MOSES.SO.I.WILL.BE.WITH.THEE 60 Years

ago they said, "Come, Brother Branham," when the ministry first started, "we'll start a organization, build you a memorial somewhere." I'm not looking for memorials. I'm looking for the coming of the

Lord.

They

formed a little cult called the Latter Rain, moved up into Canada and out into California, but it fell through.

'Course it can't go. Why was it? The only thing they know; they come out of those things, and they got a little touch of it. They've got to have something they got to do.

Slide20

9/03/13The Rains 2

21

But brother, the real church of the living God has no forms, has no creeds. It's led by the power of God that's in every individual's heart. Pass by your brethren. Don't fuss at them. We're greater than they. Don't fuss at them; just go by.

9/03/13The Rains 2

THE.INDICTMENT 25 Now, when they laid hands upon

Timothy,

and upon those brethren, they had noticed in them men was the gift. Remember, "Stir up that gift which was in you, come from your grandmother Lois." And they seen this in Timothy, and therefore the elders laid hands upon him and ordaining him.

Not

put hands upon a man that nothing has ever been showed forth, you see. And they just asked the blessings. And we all believe that.

So we don't impart spiritual gifts; we only recognize them, and lay hands upon them, to sanction them, that we believe that God has done such things for the people

GOD.HAS.A.PROVIDED.WAY 58 But

God said,

"I will restore all the years that the palmerworm and cankerworm and all the other worms eat. I will restore,

saith

the Lord."

That same church that was down yonder on the day of Pentecost that fell, and filled a church, that the Roman church finally (cankerworms into organizations, denominations) eat it down to a stump. But God said He would

restore

it in the last days.

Evening

light shall shine. We need evening-time evangelism, with evening-time message, not a bunch of creeds. They had former and latter rain. The Hebrew word for "former" means "sowing rain," and then the reaping rain. Sowing... Slide23

9/03/13The Rains 2

24

What have we got out of this revival? More members. What did we sow? Denominational seed. We reap a denominational crop.

The

Baptists had a big slogan out: a million more in forty-four. Billy Graham, great revivalist... That's true. We appreciate them men.

But what we need today, brother, is sow the Gospel seed of the Word of the power, resurrection of Christ, the living Being that's living with us, in us now, present tense.

"He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also."

Amen

GOD.PROVIDING.HEALING FOR.THIS.GENERATION

31 The ground has to receive the wheat in order to reproduce life. And you have to receive the Word of God in your heart to produce what the Word says it will be. Every Word of God is a Seed…

And corn will bring forth a corn, a wheat a wheat, a barley a barley... And if God's Word is a Seed, as Jesus said It was, and It's placed in the human heart, watered by faith, It'll produce anything that God said in His Word that It would do. It'll produce.

did we do? We sowed denominational seeds, we reaped the denominational harvest. Why, the church ought to be on fire for God right now, if there had been a Word seed sowed back there, and there would be signs, wonders, miracles, and that church would be together, one heart, one accord, and marching toward Zion, for the Rapture.

THE.BREACH 11 I was standing there in prayer, and something happened. And now, something fell in my hand… And so I thought, "What would I do with that?” And

while holding it in my hand, a voice from somewhere said,

"That is the King's sword."

And then it left me.

13 I

wondered what it meant,

"That is the King's sword."

And I thought, "If it would've said, 'A king's sword,' it might've been that I would've understood it, but it said,

'The King's sword.

'" So I may not have this right, but I thought, "There's only one The King; that's God

This is the latter-day age. This is the Bride age.

This is the evening Light. This is when Malachi 4 must be fulfilled, to follow God's pattern. This is Luke 17:30, to be

GOD'S.POWER.TO.TRANSFORM 77 …But

since the opening of those Seven Seals, of them Angels just behind the mountain yonder, This has become a new Book.

It's the things that's been hid, is being revealed as God promised in

Rev.

in the day that God has poured out His Spirit from on High, great signs and wonders are to accompany the ministry of this day.

This is the... when the former and latter rain are falling, together.

THE.SEVENTH.SEAL 182 …You

see these Jews begin to put forth their buds over yonder, when that Israel begins to turn back, getting into her country, when she gets there, the Church is ready to rapture, and there's

only three and a half years

left unto the end of the old world, and she goes out into chaos, and in comes the Millennium to the new--new earth. Said, "Even at the door

great prophet, Elijah, when he looked up to the skies, in the days of his ministry,

the three-and-a-half years

He said, "The skies look like brass." What was it? Divine judgment upon a disbelieving nation, of the message of God, that their faith was so dim, could not see it in that day

, the first, I want you to notice

what the

order of the

. It must be a male sheep, and it must be tested for fourteen

days. What

a perfect type it is of Christ, the antitype, a Male, a Lamb, and He was tested for

three and a half years

of His ministry, through

critics,

the clergy of that day, but was proved to hold fast to the Father's Word. Even in the presence of Satan, He said, "It is written. It is written." Slide34

Creeds and traditions, in their blinded condition, had turned them from the true Light of the promised

Word…

"

He'll be cut off in the midst of the seventy weeks, that's right, which is the three and a half years of His prophecy. The Messiah would come, the Prince, and would prophesy, and three and a half days of this, then He would be cut off from the living, and make atonement."

And that's exactly. He preached three and a half years.

REVELATION 11:3 3

And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy

a thousand two hundred and threescore days,

clothed in sackcloth.

These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

5 And

if any man will hurt them, fire

proceedeth

out of their mouth, and

devoureth

their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. Slide36

LEADERSHIP 139 The Life,

the

stalk back here carried the Life. Certainly, it did. But, you see, when it become the stalk and it was finished, the organization, the Life went right on into Wesley; come right

out… One

, a big blade, don't look like the grain. But when the little pollen comes,

it

looks a whole lot like the grain. But when it comes down to that shuck, it's almost there.

140 Didn't

Jesus say, "In the last days" (Matthew 24:24) "the two would be so close it would deceive the very genes, predestinated, the Elected Ones, if it was possible"? Almost like the real thing, see. So, in the last days.

Now, you see, it's wheat time now. It's getting harvest time. This is not Luther's age, this is not Pentecost age, this is the Bride age.

141 As

Moses called a nation out of a nation, Christ today is calling a Church out of a church, you see; the same thing in type, taking them to the glorious Eternal Promised Land

Genesis 1:

11

And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

THE.SPOKEN.WORD 17-3 Now, remember, every spoken Word of God is the original Seed. God planted everything in the earth by His Word, and as long as you stay with the original seed, it will breed itself right back and reproduce itself again.

Hybreed

it, it dies. And Eve, the woman, was the first hybrid thing there ever was. Now, I hope you don't turn tapes off…

HYBRID:

An organism that is the offspring of two parents that differ in one or more inheritable characteristics, especially the offspring of two different varieties of the same species or the offspring of two parents belonging to different species. In agriculture and animal husbandry, hybrids of different varieties and species are bred in order to combine the favorable characteristics of the parents.

Hybrids often display

hybrid vigor

.

The mule

,

which is the offspring of a male donkey and a female horse, is an example of a hybrid. It is strong for its size and has better endurance and a longer useful lifespan than its parents. However,

mules are sterile,

as are many animals that are hybrids between two species. Slide40

9/03/13The Rains 2

41

HAVING.CONFERENCES 42

I seen so many of them at meetings.

You're talking about the baptism of the Holy Ghost; they get up and go home like a mule. They don't know who their father was; just stand there and look, and "Haw, haw. The days of miracles is passed."

Now, a horse

ain't

like that. He's gentle and sweet... But not a ignorant old mule. Now, he don't know who is papa was, who his mommy was. He can't cross himself back; he can't reproduce himself. He's just a cross breed. And that's the matter with a lot of so-called Christians today: cross breeds with the world. No wonder you can't never be settled: double minded, never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Man's got to know God by the new birth, and be

borned

and filled with the Holy Ghost.

CONDEMNATION.BY.REPRESENTATION 11-1 …Don't never lay it on God a-making a mule.

God never had anything to do with that.

No, that was man. The mule don't know where he belongs.

He can't reproduce himself again. He's a hybrid…

he don't know who his father was nor his mother was... He's just a mule and he's on the skid row to death. And no matter how much he tries to bring forth his kind, he can't do it.

That's all contrary to God's Word.

God said here in Gen. 1:11

. "Let every seed bring of its kind, for the life is in itself.“

But man is trying to show that he's smarter than his Creator.

THE.END.TIME.SIGN.SEED 62-0319

21 Take

corn,

hybreed

it, make a great big ear. All right if you want to eat it on the big ear. But what happens to it? Plant it back; it can't reproduce itself again. It's no good; it's dead.

Therefore, anything that wasn't spoke by God in the beginning is a hybrid.

22 And that's the way that people gets away from the Word of God. It becomes a hybrid affair. It must die. It cannot bring forth of its kind to life again. Slide43

9/03/13The Rains 2

44

The church that will refuse to believe the Word of God is a hybrid church with dogmas, creeds, doctrines that's not Scriptural.

That church cannot bring forth a Spirit-filled child, 'cause it's hybrid. It's no good.

It might be bigger, great big walls, fine pews, big bells, plush seats. But that doesn't mean one thing. It's spiritually dead.Slide44

9/03/13The Rains 2

124-4 CHURCH.AGE.BOOK

Do you know the most famous hybrid in the world? It has been with us for ages. It is the mule. It is a cross between a donkey and a horse. He is a funny kind of an animal. He can't reproduce himself. He has no life that can do that. Yet talk about work. He can outwork the horse or the donkey. But watch his nature. He is stubborn and you can never trust him. He is a perfect picture of hybrid religion. A cross between truth and darkness, for the horse is a type of the true believer and the ass a picture of the unrighteous one. Mix them and you have a sterile, formal religion. It hasn't the seed of life. It is dead. It can talk about truth but it can't produce it. It

doesn't have God in its midst, yet it gathers together and talks about God, and all the while systematically denies the power.Slide45

9/03/13The Rains 2

46

And there is never any hope for them. Do you realize that no organized religion ever had a revival? Never! Once they organized they died. They can't ever come back. I can show you that in type.

In

Exodus 13:13

,

"And every firstling of an ass thou

shalt

redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou

shalt

break his neck; and all the first-born of man among thy children

shalt

thou redeem."

See, the ass can be redeemed. Every miserable sinner can be redeemed by the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ, or in rejecting Christ be rejected himself. But you don't redeem the mule. There is no redemption for him. There is no blood for him. There can't be because the mule takes refuge in the church while the ass takes refuge in the blood. The mule has "no seed" in him that can be quickened, but the ass has seed.
