Brother Robert Lambert’s Testimony
January 26, 1969 -PM -Durham, Connecticut
Robert Lee Lambert
Jesus loves me. I’m glad He said, “Whosoever will, let him come”. If He just said it to Peter and John, it would of been bad for me. But He said, “Whosoever will, let him come, drink of the waters of life freely”. And, ‘Whosoever’ means, just what it means? Whosoever has a will to drink of eternal life, can drink of eternal life today according to God’s provided way. There is only one provided way and that way is the Lord Jesus Christ, the Word of God.
Revelation 22:17-Reference quote:
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
So, we’ve come in here tonight to worship the Lord Jesus because that He first loved us, and because He first loved us, then we express our love to Him by worshipping Him in the spirit and in the truth. Now I was wondering, if you have a prayer request upon your heart and you’d like to be remembered in prayer before we pray before the main part of the service by an uplifted hand, you have a prayer request that you want God to answer for you. Amen?
Brother Lambert’s Opening Prayer:
Dear heavenly Father, we’re very thankful to be assembled here again tonight Lord, feeling kind of rung-out inside Lord after the service that we had this morning. Truly Lord we had a solemn assembly, Father. And we thank you Lord, that you love us enough Lord, to come with thy spirit as you did this morning, and convict every soul in this building. We thank you Father God, because Lord we know that if we can stand chastisement, then we’re your children. So, Father, we thank you Lord for this day, what it’s meant to us, and I don’t believe we’ll ever be the same again.
Hebrews 12:6-8-Reference quote:
6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
And I thank you Father, for the great work that you’ve done in the hearts of your people here in this little group. And Lord, we’re looking for you to do great and mighty things. Now Father, I pray for every lifted hand, that you’ll bless them God because I love them, and if I love them Lord, how much more do you love them Father! So, I pray that you’ll bless them tonight, and Lord, I pray that I’ll know the leading of your spirit in what I should say tonight!
I pray God that you’d bless every heart, bless everyone here Father, bless us as we sit together. Thank you for thy presence and for the reverence that we feel in everyone’s heart. For truly Lord, we’re serving a fearful and terrible God who is mighty, mighty in deeds in this day. Now father bless us as we sit together. In Jesus name, Amen.
You may be seated.
How many feel like you’ve kinda of been scrubbed out with fuller soap?
Malachi 3:2-3-Reference quote:
2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap:
3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness.
I took my wife’s pulse this afternoon and she sure was. I don’t know how to put it. I’m not a doctor, but she said, “If she went by her heart, she thought she was going to die!” I took her pulse and it was really tearing away, then it slowed down, real slow, and then it took off again – just started racing away. Truly I was the same way myself, I had to go lie down, I was very weak. I don’t know, just a little bit of inspiration I kinda feel like Elijah of old, you know running from Jezebel. I preached to you so hard this morning I kinda hated to face you tonight. You go home and then you don’t realize what that does to you, see, you go home and then you have hard time. Then you have to know that you search your heart, “Why did you say those things? Was it the Lord or was it you?” And then you fight with that and then if you can only just yield your life.
If I seen the life, if I didn’t live the life that I live before the Lord, then I’d just give up this ministry. But seeing the life and seeing the Lord and in His Word and how He deals with His people in the truth of the Word of God! And then I must go on, I must go on. How many feel like you’ve been just washed out? You feel real clean. You feel like you just made a new start, let me see your hands. I have not seen a meeting like that, like we had this morning, in many a years; been some years since I seen… And I ask God if that was Him that was speaking to me, that He would do what He did this morning. I ask Him to do that and He did it! And so, then I know it was God.
And I don’t know, its just a…we have a few visitors with us tonight but kinda as I waited upon the Lord this afternoon, I kinda… if the Lord don’t change me in next few minutes… I’ve never gave any of my testimony to this church and I’ve been pastoring for here for two years now. I have never told you some real intimate personal things that God has told me. I’ve kept them a secret, between the Lord and myself, and a…if the Lord willing, how many would like to hear some of those things that the Lords been dealing with me on for several years now?
And we have some visitors with us. I know that there are so many testimonies today that are a sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal.
1 Corinthians 13:1-Reference quote:
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
And that’s why I would never say anything to you. You’ve watched my life for several years now, some of you for ten years. You know that if I tell you something, then, how many believe that if I told something, you believe it’s God? That’s why that I’ve never told you these things because I want you to have confidence in me that when I tell you something, you hang on to it.
And if the Lord is willing, there is so many things happening in the spiritual world to me that I find that it’s too numerous that I couldn’t tell all of it tonight. But I tell just what I feel, what the Lord lays upon my heart. And before I do, I like to read you a little scripture that the Holy spirit gave me something to comfort my heart on, when a few days ago, I was very upset because of things that I was hearing. The Lord Jesus came in the room and spoke to me this little story here and it means very much to my heart, and it’s found over in the 14th Chapter of Matthew and 22nd Verse.
Very thankful to have the brethren with us tonight in the back. I know one of the brothers there, the other one I don’t know, but you are certainly welcome, always welcome to our little humble store front here. Somehow, we believe that that’s where the real church of Jesus Christ is returning to the basements and the store fronts. God’s gonna deal, like with her like He did in the early apostolic church.
14th Chapter of Matthew & 22nd Verse:
Matthew 14:22-32-Reading;
22 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
May God add a blessing to the reading of His Word. This little thought/message came to me on January 7th about five AM in the morning. I was very upset, very nervous because I had just heard some things, that if they were true it would contradict what the spirit of God told me. And then seeing I love people I don’t like to…I would much rather… my nature is to think that you’re right and I’m wrong. And I would much rather follow what you’d think is right than what I would think to be right. But ten years now I have learned, by training of the Lord, that I cannot do that, I cannot do that and believe that Jesus Christ called me to the ministry.
In 1958, 1958 I came to the end my road running from God for many years. I faced death several times and miraculously escaped from them. But in 1958 in the spring and the month of April, 1958, I was 28 years old and never had any denominational background, had no religious trainings, knew nothing of the Bible. I was just an ungodly sinner, but knowing that there was the hand of the Lord on me and I was running from him, running.
And I should have died several times but Miraculously the Lord brought me out of death and spared me for a reason. In 1958, in April as I said, I came to the end of the road. I was a disabled veteran and I was thinking I was dying, I wound up in the veteran’s hospital in Coral Gables, Florida, thinking I would die any minute. There they put me in a paraplegic ward and a… I was very depressed of life. I saw in the denominational churches and I knew that Jesus Christ that I loved him. But I did not know how to find him. And yet I ran from Him, his spirit when He tried to come to me. I did not know how to receive Him!
I run into a little Methodist church, and I cried at the altar, but they couldn’t tell me how to find Him! Ran in the Baptist church, they couldn’t tell me how to find Him, just joined the Baptist church. So, I seen that it didn’t take away the sin in my life. I seen the other people that was professing something that they didn’t live. So therefore, I thought there was nothing to this thing called ‘Christianity’. I didn’t see anybody living anything. So, I would much rather be an ungodly sinner than to be a hypocrite.
So therefore, I kept running from the Lord. There I was laying dying in the Coral Gables hospital, I had one friend that I thought was a friend. All my relatives… I was raised an orphan and had a very hard life. A little of it I never told you before, maybe a little of it this morning. When I was nine years old, my mother died. I kept house, baby sit the children, and took care of the house. I did the work of a full-grown woman. I had no home. So therefore, laying there in the hospital bed and all these things coming to me, no friends, what relatives I had cared nothing about me.
Now there I laid dying with a wife and three children. We just had my little new born baby. No money, and in a strange town. I had one friend. I called up the friend my wife did to come to my bedside to see me and to take her home He didn’t even think enough of me to even come after her…my wife. He didn’t know it, but that was the end of it to me! That killed me and broke my heart. I thought my last friend that don’t care enough about me to come to my bedside and me dying. So, I said to my wife I said, “If I did live, if I did live through this, I don’t ever want to see a human being again!” So, that just the way the Lord has to bring you to the end of your road. So, I find out there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother. Thank God for Jesus.
So, the next day, I lived through the night, they put me in a paraplegic ward. While I was up there, I never saw such suffering of mankind in my life. Death all around me: men in comas, for months and months that never woke up. Korean veterans butchered, wounded, in comas, paralyzed, paraplegic. I never had experienced anything like it, if I live a thousand years, I’ll never forget it, death all around me. And I said to myself, “Surely there must be more to life than what I see here and what I’ve experienced. Surely there is something more to life than what I found.”
And as I looked across from me, I see this man, a very handsome man. He was a jet pilot. And he was all paralyzed from head to toe; a handsome man. There as I was lookin at him, and then something happened to me down on the inside. I can’t explain it. There I was raised up a orphan, rough and tough. And I thought it was disgraceful to cry. There tears started dripping out of my eyes, and off of my chin. I couldn’t understand what was happening to me! And I noticed that somehow I was being hypnotized while watching this man. I couldn’t get my eyes away from him. And I lived on through another day. And day after day I watched this man. I watched his wife come in one day and then something happened to me so that I could see right into that family. I could see that woman’s thoughts. I could see his thoughts and I could see the heartaches of both of their hearts.
My, how the tears streamed from my eyes! And it haunted me night and day, got so bad that I was under some… I thought I was being hypnotized. And I would read a magazine. His bed was directly across from me. His name was Eddie. He couldn’t do anything. He was all crippled up in the most horrible`est way. They had to feed him… they had to do everything. And I was reading a magazine trying to get my mind off of it. And all I could think of was that suffering of that man. And there I’d try to read the magazine and then it would go down and I’d come to maybe…I don’t know how long and there I’d find myself staring at him.
Well, I didn’t know what was causing me to do that. We had a car, so, my wife came to visit me. And I told her, “That I’ve got to come home.” I said, “That if I am gonna die, I would rather die at home because I can’t stand the suffering of these men. They couldn’t eat. Oh, you’ll never know. Do you good sometime to walk through one of those veteran hospitals and in the paraplegic wards. You would really appreciate your health. So, I made the doctors release me from the hospital. Before I did that, I made a statement that it kinda sounds bad. A man was talking about the healing power of God. And I cried out not realizing what I was saying. As I always respected the Lord. And I said, “That if there’s a God that heals, why don’t He come in the hospitals” And I made the doctors release me from the Hospital and I came home.
And there through the providence of God, I rented a house in Miami from a man by the name of Charlie Myers from New York City. I am still ungodly and I’m still not saved. And the doctor of divinity from the hospital was a Baptist theologian, though the best he could do to lead me to Jesus Christ, was to say, “Are you a protestant or are you a Catholic?” There’s not much hope for a dying man, or a Protestant or Catholic. If you’re not born of the spirit of God, you’re lost.
So there, I rented this home from a man by the name of Charlie Myers but the stipulation was…the stipulation to it was I had to live a week in his house with his family, in order to get the house. So, I had to vacate the house that I was living in. I’m expecting to die anytime yet.
I thought if I left the hospital, the suffering of those men would leave me. It only haunted me worse. It haunted me night and day and I thought maybe I was losing my mind or something, I didn’t know. I tried to explain it to Shirley. I’d just lay and meditate and study on this all the time I couldn’t get away from it.
So, this man, Charlie Myers, witnessed to me about the saving power of Jesus Christ, gave me a religious track. The next day we moved into the home and I noticed that man, he loved the Lord. He worshipped God in a Pentecostal way that you know out here. He really had something real. He’d met the Lord. He kept telling me, “The Lord Jesus Christ could save you heal you.” And he kept at that day after day. So finally, he was getting ready to go back to New York City him and his wife. And you know it’s quiet offensive for someone to speak of Jesus so much and you don’t know him. He would say loudly, “Praise the Lord, Hallelujah!” It’s a little bit embarrassing if you’ve never met God. So therefore, the things he would say and his actions were kind of embarrassing to me. But nevertheless, I couldn’t hide from the fact that this man lived a life that I’ve never seen before. He lived what he was talking about. So, before they left, he asked me to go to a little church with them. There at that church, after the preacher got through preaching, the big old Charlie Myers grabbed me by the arm. And the next thing I know, I was at the altar. This was embarrassing to me also. I thought that I wish I hadn’t come, but I loved the man, so I couldn’t get mad at him. And so, in the process of time in next few days they left for New York City.
Well, I thought that’s the end of him. I won’t be bothered about all this religious stuff so much. Now mind you I was not seeking God; I was not seeking God at all. I wasn’t praying and seeking God. And then Charlie turned me over to his brother, Joe and Joe kept witnessing to me about the Lord, he was more fanatic than Charlie was. In fact, he wore the grass out between our houses, and the grass grows tall and green in Florida. I tell yeah, it was steady stream of traffic him back and forth to my house. My wife got so tired of listening to his story about Jesus. She said if that man comes over here anymore today, I’m just going to faint that’s all there is to it! So here he come anyway! Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, that’s all I heard. I tell you, I never get tired of hearing that name now! You can talk about him all you want to, and it just makes me feel good. Joe started to work on me you know, trying to win a soul. I didn’t know anything about winning souls then. He went to work on me.
He finally won me over, I seen he had that same thing his brother had, he really loved the Lord. So, he got me to go to church one night after much persuasion. I said, “Just one time.” I felt I’ve done my obligation. So, while we was there in the little meeting, I kinda made fun of Charlie, big ole guy, six foot something. He had his hands up in the air early in morning and he’d come out of his bedroom praising the Lord. It kinda embarrassed me, scared me too, the first time I heard it. He come out about six foot four, you know how he looked in the morning anyway, scary, you know, you comb what hair you got. And he come out and said, “Hallelujah, glory to God, thank you Jesus” I never heard anything like that. I said, “Shirley he’s one of those holy rollers, one of those fanatics. I’m glad I’m one now.
And Charlie’s brother was a bigger fanatic than he was. So, there they prayed into the service. The next thing you know there I was at the altar. He just dragged me right up there and my face was red as fire. I thought, “Oh, I knew, I shouldn’t have come.” But there was my first contact that I had with the Lord. I kinda made fun of these people for the way they worshipped the Lord, kinda scared me, as I stood there at the altar.
And I said to God… I tried to find God and I knew that I promised Him when He saved me from those soldiers that died all around me while we were swimming close to our Air Force Base in Florida, and we got caught in a rip tide. I said as the water tried to pull me under, “God if you’ll save me out of this, this time, and get me out of this terrible place this time, I’ll serve you.” I was the only one that got out without drowning. And then I faced death another time, and walk right out of death when my car went over a hill and a tree stopped my car just like the tree was a pillow. And still you’d think I’d yield my life to God, but I didn’t. And so those things come to my mind as I stood there happened before Shirley and I were married. And so, those things came to my mind as I stood there and made fun of these people, and I said, “I don’t know how to talk to God”.
And I don’t know, if I ever heard anybody praying, anyway. So, I was in a predicament. I felt convicted, and I didn’t know what to do. And I didn’t really believe, I hadn’t seen anything real. But I believe there was a Lord Jesus Christ, but how to find him? I didn’t know! And I tried so many times, two, three times. I thought there wasn’t much use. That was my attitude. But I was expecting to die and I feared the Lord. I feared the Lord. I always feared the Lord. And so, I thought it would do good if I ask God to forgive me for making fun of these people and I asked him. In my heart I said, “Lord now I am sorry that I made fun of these people. You forgive me.”
And something in my heart started moving. You know you’re going to die and you’re going straight to hell. Oh, that just scared me bad, cause I’m scared of God! I was scared of preachers, I was scared of the gospel. Now, I said to myself, “Yeah that’s right. Oh, I’m in a terrible shape.” And something said to me… my heart said, “Why don’t you try it one more time?” And I got to rollin that around in my mind and I thought, “Yeah, what if I tried it one more time? Maybe I could really find God this time.” No, I thought, I’ve done gone too far. I’m too bad of a sinner. He’d never save me, I’m too bad off.
You know that’s the way all sinners think – that your just so bad that Jesus can’t save you. Brother, the biggest sin that I know of and that is that you don’t believe that the Blood of God is powerful enough to save you from your sin. That’s the biggest sin I know of.
So, it come to my heart, “Lord I don’t know how to pray, but I’m gonna try one more time. One more time and this will be it, I’ll try it one more time cause after all I’m dying and I’m going to hell, it’d pay me to try it one more time.
Oh, that’s the way it is brothers and sisters, when it looks like everything has failed, just try one more time. If you can’t go another foot, go an inch. Make ground for the Lord. Well I said, “Lord, is it possible that you could save a guy like me? Could you save me?” That’s the first time that I felt the power of the Spirit. He rested upon me. He started from my head and went right on down. I knew that some supernatural somebody had just touched me.
I felt His touch and I let out a squall. I hollered and I jumped up and down and I took off. I kissed everybody from the altar, clear to the door, women and all. Jumped in the car, took off for home to tell Shirley that I just met God. I didn’t know how to explain it, but I know that I just met somebody that heard my prayer. Nobody could tell me anything different. I was about half way home and a block from the house and I remember she told me, she was working everyday then and I was too sick to work, and I remember she told me to get some bread and milk.
So, I turned around real fast and run in that store. And I run in there and I said, “I just met God.” I was just telling everybody about it. That’s when you really know you’ve met Him, when you begin to tell everybody about it. So, I run home to tell my wife about it. It was very late because the people had told me that they have never seen the power of the Holy Ghost fall in that church like that before. Nobody wanted to leave. I expected my wife to be awake, but she works hard. I got home and she was asleep.
That was very disappointing to me, because I wanted to tell her that this old mean, ungodly husband that she put up with so many years, had just got a touch from the Lord. He’s real. She’s asleep. So, I thought, this is just how the Lord works things out you know. More than likely I didn’t…I wasn’t that thoughtful of my wife that I wouldn’t wake her up. If there were some other reason – if I was drunk or something I’d a woke her up. But I didn’t wake her up. I thought well let her sleep as she works hard. And there I was ready to unbutton my shirt and get ready for bed.
I understand there is a lot of fanaticism. I know there is a lot of fanaticism, there is a lot of spirits that deceive people. But the only way that I know it’s real is to watch it to see if it comes to pass, and if it’s in the Word, and they live the life, it’s the Lord. There is a lot of bogus things, but there is a lot of real things too.
There I heard a still small voice of God speak in my ear and it said, “Get thy bible.”
Now it didn’t say, “Get your bible” it’s “THY” He used the word, “THY”. Well, I had never heard anyone talk like that. I picked up this little Bible there (A Bible Charlie had left there.) very nervous and scared, cause I never heard the Voice of God before. And I ran to the kitchen, turned on the light, opened the bible up; don’t remember the scriptures because it’s been fifteen years ago. It like to have knocked me down. Oh, I started to crying, and that same One that came upon me at the church, came upon me again.
And that scared me, and it got more strong. And while that spirit was resting upon me, because I didn’t know to call it spirit then, I didn’t know those things spirits blessings of God., prophets, apostles, preaching, gospel. I didn’t know none of those things. I’m just a sinner. I didn’t know what to say spirit! I just knew it was God, I knew that, the person talking to me was God. And that Voice said to me, “Go down to Joe’s house”. Joe was the man that wore the grass out between his house and my house.
Joe was sick and his mother was sick. They was gonna stay the rest of the winter in Florida to recuperate. They were farmers from the apple orchards of West Virginia. And the Voice said again. “Go down to Joe’s house.” He just talked to me like a man.
The Voice stopped. I’m still crying, I still feel the spirit on me. I don’t know to call it the spirit. I just knew that it was God speaking. Mind yeah, I didn’t know that God spoke to people. I didn’t know He spoke to people. And something told me right after that, in a minute or two. I started to reason, that’s where you really get into trouble, the old natural man starts to reason see! And I started to reason see, how could that be God? Why would God speak to me? Now look who am I now? My, how’d I know God spoke? How can I…I don’t know.
And I begin to think all these things – something begin to come to me, said, “Yeah that’s right, don’t go down to Joe’s house. It’s raining outside and he’s sleeping.” I heard that. And that was just contrary to what the first Voice told to do. But something put a fear in my heart, and the first Voice said again, “GO DOWN TO JOE’S HOUSE!” Boy, I took off a running out of that house as fast as I go, and it was sure pouring down rain, alright but it didn’t stop me. I run as hard as I could go. I put that little New Testament down in my shirt and out I went, hard as I could go.
My wife is sleeping through all this. And I had a couple of friends stayin in my home, Randy Bailey and his brother in-law, I believe it was and they come (from West Virginia) to Florida to get a job. They was all asleep when this is happening. I run down to Joe’s house as hard as I could go and I banged on the door. And old Joe stuck his head out. It was a tropical rain. You know how it rains in Florida, it’s just like a deluge those tropical storms. I was standing there getting soakin wet. He peeped out; he couldn’t see good it was raining so hard and dark. He said, “Who is it?” I said, “It’s Bob, Joe.” And Joe said, “What yea want?” Now more than likely he should of just let me in on out of the rain! Well, I guess the Lord just wanted things this way. And out of my heart jumped out my voice spoke. And I didn’t realize what I was saying! I said, “THE LORD SENT ME HERE!” WOE! He said, “Well, come in.” And then I got scared. I said to myself, “Now how’d I know that was the Lord? Now did you ever Bob Lambert… did you ever hear God speakin to anybody? Who do you think you are? That the Lord would speak to YOU, the Lord would speak to you.” “Yeah. Oh, my, I thought, what if he asked me what the Lord said? I don’t know.” And I was thinking about these things. Yeah, what if he said what did the Lord say? What are you gonna say? Oh boy, I was getting nervous. Yeah, who ever heard of God speaking? And all that was goin through my mind. I was having a terrible time.
So, while I was thinking there, all at once I could feel myself falling into something, I had never felt that before. And it got to where I was leaving and going into another dimension. I could not hear those people talk. I could see them and I could hear them, but it was getting faint. Finally, I come out of that. The woman said…she brought me out of that by saying, “Young man, young man you’re not listening to what I’m saying!” (Joe’s mother) Gram-mommy was a big talker. She could just talks for hours and never slack`in up a bit. Bless her old heart! From the mountain country of West Virginia. And she said, “Young man, young man, you’re not listening to me.” And that struck me and got me out of it. And then I said, “Yes ma’am! Yes ma’am! I’m sorry.” And then I looked at her real straight, and she started talkin, and away I went again. This time I couldn’t help it, I was gone.
That spirit came upon me, put me in another dimension, which I understand now, in the Bible it would be called a trance or a vision. I don’t mean those things you make-believe as you see out here with your eyes closed. I mean something real. There as I slipped into this, it was just like a little gear, all at once I was relaxed, but it takes God to relax you – to shift the gear for you. If you try to shift it yourself, you’ve got man in it. But God shifted that little gear. As he later showed me that how that works. I can’t explain it.
All I know is that He shifted it and I went in it. And I could not hear this woman or man anymore, I was too far gone. But then I heard a Voice speak, right up out of my insides, struck my vocal-cords and started talking. It wasn’t me at all, I had nothing to do with it whatsoever. I listened to the Voice just like you are listening to me, but it was my vocal cords. And the tone of my voice, it was my Voice. And the Voice said, “Rise up,” spoke to me, see! “Rise up and lay thy thine hand on this woman” And now I don’t know nothing about them things now. I’ve never been exposed to divine healing, nothing like that! “Rise up and lay thy hand on this woman.” All at once something picked me up, walked me over there, my hand went upon the woman’s head. God kept right on speaking through my Voice, healed the woman, turned around and healed the man.
And then God went right on speaking. The power of God filled that room where we were standing. Those people have never got over that to this day. Grandmother died now (in her late nineties), but they stirred the country up there, giving their testimony about this thing that happened in their little ole kitchen. And there God almighty spoke to me just as plain as I’m talking to you. And why I’m sayin this, it’s built up to the place that now ten years later that a… do you love me? I want to share this with you so that you might understand the things that I do. Why I do them! And that you might help me, to pray for me. I believe something is getting ready to happen!
And there God spoke, and told me why that I was in that hospital. Told me about this boy, Eddie, that I cried for, and those men, and said, because…
Now, I want to tell you what He said. Now how many knows that I’ve tried to be humble before you? How many believe that? I try to walk humbly, I say these things because I know that you love me, and you believe that God has something for me and that’s why that I am telling you. That’s the first time that, you know that… I’ve been here for two years; nobody ever hears me say these things. I don’t tell nobody these things. I’ve traveled across the country and been in people’s homes, I never tell these things. I tell you these things because I thought it might be a blessing to you; it might help you understand your pastor.
The Lord kept speaking in this trance, showed me the hospital, told me, “That Because thou’est had compassion on thy fellow man”, said, “Thy fellow man I’ve given thee this gift, And I’ll send thee into the hospitals all over the world.” And then He told me about another ministry besides this.
That was only kinda to vindicate it I guess. He told me of a most unusual ministry that I’ve found in the Word of God that I believe is to take place very, very soon. And He begin, kept right on speaking and told me said, “Because I’m not coming in years, I am coming soon. And because of this, I must give thee these things all at once. For I will make a short quick work upon the earth” How many know that the prophet of God (William Branham) told me the same thing, he told me the same words? Said, “I must give you these things all at once. I will not train, I will not send thee to school as I have my other servants, because I am coming soon, and I must give you these things all at once.”

Our Redeemer #3 11/03/68
Robert Lee Lambert
“So, may we stand to our feet, wanting Him to move on the scene. So, may we consecrate our lives a new to the Lord Jesus. May the great power of the Holy Spirit, get us where we ought to be stomped out and crushed out like a rose. I remember the great words of Brother Branham said to me, “Bro. Bob your ministry will never break forth into any perfume until He crushes you like a rose.” So, that is what everyone of us need. We need to be crushed like a rose.”
Now if you have sat under this ministry here you know by now, without even a supernatural sign that it would have to be a supernatural one to reveal such things you’ve heard. How many raise your hands, you know that? Knowing a little fellow like me in such a short time would know all those things, it’s impossible. Mind you I have no background of the Word of God, whatsoever, none at all. But that God spoke to me, said that He’d give me these things all at once because He did not have time to train me and school me as he did his other servants. Then he told me some personal things, that I don’t think that it would be pleasing to the Lord if I revealed them to you. I don’t think I should say anything about it. Now notice, that I saw myself in the hospitals and I saw a ministry that was so, so stupendous and tremendous that it left me almost a hairline from insanity, when I come out of this anointing. I was almost insanity, from seeing the things that I saw. I saw a ministry. Now mind you that this is in 1958, that’s a good number too, 5 and 8. And it was on the 28th, I was 28 years old, and it was 58. All these things is for a reason. How many believe dates and everything have a meaning? When the Lord finished speakin, naturally I thought the world would come to an end. He said a short quick work, I thought maybe it would be the next night. I didn’t know. I was scared to death.
Now when I come out of that trance, then as I came out of it, I realized that I was in this kitchen and the Voice stopped speaking. And the Voice spoke directly to the people (Joe and his mother), and talked to them just like I am talking to you, and then talked right to me. It’s like He called my own name, talked right to me. After I came out of this… How many believe there is real true trances? Peter went up on the house top and while he was hungered and they was going to fix something to eat, he fell into a trance. Heard a voice say Peter rise and eat. Now you can imagine what that did to me, never had I heard of God speaking in the supernatural, never knew that God does those things! But yet with all that power and anointing on me, which I didn’t know what to call it, a anointing or power, I just knew it was God. I ran home as quickly as I could.
Ran in and woke up my wife and told her that God had just appeared to me. She sat up in the bed and thought I’d gone totally raving mad. She got so scared the whole bed shook all over. She got so nervous. I guess she thought I was going to kill her. Well, she thought, “Well surely my husband lost his mind.” So, she managed to live through the night with the bed shaken all over and trembling. I wouldn’t dare to tell her anymore what God said, because She was ready then to jump out of window and run. So, the next morning, (I didn’t sleep), the anointing of the Holy Spirit right on me, woke up the next morning. She woke up the next morning and she went to work, and I got her breakfast She went off to work very nervous and hated to go, afraid I’d kill the children during the day, I guess. I’ve lost my mind now.
That’s the way it is you know, when you meet God, the natural man thinks right away you gone too far, your old mind has popped. How many heard people tell yeah that? Yeah!, Watch out now don’t get too religious, you’ll go crazy! They don’t tell you about all those people that went a little further and got something real though! They tell about the ones that didn’t get something real. See! So, the next morning, my wife went off to work and my friends got up.
I thought, now here maybe I can tell my friends, cause Randy knows me better than anybody and maybe he’ll understand and I can tell him. Maybe he has heard of God speaking to people before. I want some confirmation, because I couldn’t… this is too much for me that it would happen to me. Why my, I ain’t no theologian. I ain’t no doctor? Why a little ole fellow like me? I don’t even know hardly my ABC’s. Only went to about the seventh or eighth grade and flunked them too, I believe. Lord, how could God speak to me?
So, I fixed their breakfast. And as I was fixing their breakfast. I never like to miss a meal, if I missed breakfast, I’m a sick boy. Something, there it was there again, just like it was before, said, “Don’t eat nothing.” I heard it just as clear as a bell! “Don’t eat nothing.” Well, I never heard of fasting, you know. But I…I wouldn’t dare eat after I heard that. And I said now, “Lord I’m gonna get sick.” I said, “If I don’t eat, I get sick.” He said, “Don’t eat nothing.” I sat down to table and they was wondered why I didn’t eat breakfast. And there I begin to tell Randy when he was about half finished with his eggs. I couldn’t hold it any longer, so I launched into tell Randy about the Lord Jesus appearing to me last night. You know we’d kinda drank beer together and run around to the baseball games together, and that was just too much for Randy. I could see he was getting scared, and his brother-in-law was getting scared.
And I said, “Oh Randy the end of the world is here” I said, “The Lord Jesus is about ready to come back to the earth.” I said “You got to get saved”, as if I could save him. See I was going to save him. “Now you just got to get saved, your wife, your little boy, oh my, you can’t miss this Randy, and go to hell. My! You got to get saved!” Boy, he dropped his fork and said, “Oh I…boy Bob we got to a get out of here were gonna be late for that appointment.” The other guy left his eggs and he got up. And before he got up, I started speaking in other language. That held them spell bound when that happen. Randy said, “Boy…What! What was that….!!! What was that…!!! It was like a shot-gun firing bang, bang, bang! Then it stopped, I had no control over it at all you know. Boy that got me, I never had anything like that happen to me, you know! I speak a little hillbilly that’s about all.
Boy, I knew that there it is was an anointing all over me you know, just like it was last night. And I said a…. Randy said, “What was that? My, did you hear that? What was that?” Well, now then it come to me that there was a little old church near the railroad tracks over in the lower end of town where I was born, and they call them tongue talkers, Holy rollers. Immediately that come to me, and I said, “That’s tongues, that’s what it is.” Man, they took out of that house boy and they didn’t lose no time.
And a…but oh, but I was having such a good time right then, I didn’t care whether they believed it or not! I believed it and I was having a glorious time and that’s all that mattered. PRAISE GOD! IF PEOPLE DON’T BELIEVE GOD REAL as long as we have a good time about it that’s alright.
So, I begin to worship the Lord! The children was up running around making a lot of racket. And something spoke to me and said, “Put thy children to bed.” I said, “Why, Lord they just got up, that’s a hard thing to do but I’ll try.” He said, “Put them to bed, I want to talk with you.” I put them in there on the bed and I talked to them just like the Lord told me I said, “Now children…” little old Mark and them I said, “Now lay right down here.” I said, “The Lord wants to speak to daddy again!” They laid right down there. I knew that had to be God boy! I went and closed the door and you know how children are, you threaten them and everything else, but you’d have a hard time keeping them in that bed.
And I never more closed the door and walked to the kitchen and there he struck me again and there and I went into another one of those visions. I didn’t know to call it vision then. Later, I didn’t know how to explain it, I tried to explain it to my wife. There the supernatural of God struck me and then I heard the Voice of God speaking. He told me about the ministers, revealed some of their lives to me and what they was doing, a lot about the money! How the evangelists are doing today, lot about the money in it. Cadillac’s and lot of personal things, probably it wouldn’t be good to tell it real plain like it was! But it made me walk straight on the money part, I tell you that right now! How many believe I am clean on that side? That’s the one reason I was always scared of money, count of that vision I seen there.
Then as that happened, I don’t know how long that lasted, but I heard the Voice of God speaking! Now mind you I don’t know any of these things that’s in the Bible, I don’t know a thing about the Bible, not one thing. And after this was over, I come out of it naturally. As I come to myself and realized that I was there in kitchen and naturally that spirit on me I started to worship the Lord and crying, I found myself over in a corner, down there praying in the spirit. Oh, such joy, such joy unspeakable. I had no words to describe it.
Such joy, my cup… I don’t know what David said, “My cup runneth over” My cup was running over in super abundance. Now I know more got up off of my knees there, walked half way across the kitchen, he struck me again and I went into another one, that’s the third time. This time He revealed to me a persecution coming upon the Bride of Christ. Told me there, revealed to me in this vision that, “There’ll come a day when they’ll kill you and think they do God a service”. Showed myself right there being martyred. They was trying to martyr me, getting ready in the process of doing it, for the gospel. Only it didn’t say gospel, He said, “The Faith.” A man was doing the martyrdom. Well, I tell you what, he was going to cut my head off. And that was kinda hard to understand in 1958. It’s not too hard to understand now, seeing the World Council of Churches and how they’re talking. How many say Amen to that?
And the Voice of God, it wasn’t me. They tried to get me to deny the Faith, this Faith, it didn’t say the faith it said, “Deny this Faith, or were gonna do” such and such a thing. And then I heard the Voice of God speak, “Go ahead and do it then.” It wasn’t me, oh boy! I thank God the scripture said, “Don’t meditate on what you say in that day, there’ll be a word given you. I heard God speaking said, “Go ahead and chop it off then.” Then the next thing you know, I come out of that. Now I was standing there… Mark will never forget this to this day. He was just a little tot then, my boy sitting here. He had me by the pants leg and brought me to myself by pulling my pants leg and said, “Daddy, daddy you gonna have your head chopped off, you gonna have your have your head…?” Now he heard that Voice of God speaking in that trance see? He said, “Daddy you gonna have your head cut off?” I said, “Son, I don’t know.” And by that time the children was up.
Now that went on, the supernatural for days, the anointing of God for days. I seen a ministry coming upon the earth right before the coming of Jesus Christ. I saw a ministry that was exactly just like the Lord Jesus, exactly. It was Jesus Christ incarnated in human vessels, because He spoke out of them by His word and brought to pass what was spoken right before your eyes. The creative Word of God made manifested through human vessels. So, then it was noised abroad by…naturally, I went to find my brothers and sisters and there is where I had a time. I went to the Baptist, I went to this one, I went to that one, but I couldn’t find that One that was speaking to me at home.
This caused much heartache, much sorrows, much trials, I went through. And then I met the evangelist on the field in a big tent ministries and I couldn’t have nothing to do with that. And the Lord revealed to me that this thing was Jannes and Jambres. I would have nothing to do with it whatsoever. Now right there was enough to know that it was God. That’s enough right there, if nothing else to let me know now for sure that it was God. I would have nothing to do with that. People came to me and pleaded and begged and put pressure on me, Because of the calling that I had, and the way that it happened, it stirred the place where I was at. I immediately started preaching! Immediately I started preaching!
Now my wife knew that had to be God. Boy, if that guy is preachin that’s got to be God! She didn’t think I was crazy any longer after that. And I thank God that it was just few days later, a few months later, she became one of those fanatics too, by the grace of God. Lord knows how to work all those things out.
But I begin to go through my first training. And that first training was… I gonna believe the Word of God, or was I gonna believe every testimony that I heard? Was I gonna believe every preacher on the field was a servant of God, or was I gonna stay with the Word of God? Now my nature, and I say this truthfully and humbly, my nature is that I would believe if your story contradicted my story, my nature is that I would believe that you was right and I was just wrong. And so, there I begin to go through the tests and trials. And I was nervous and tore up, because people had got a hold of me. They said they wasn’t a denomination and they believed in winning souls and giving up your houses and going into the mission fields. They got a hold of me, and I said that I’m afraid because God told me, “Not to have nothing to do with man or schools and nothing that He would teach me.”
Oh, they said, “You got to have help. You’ve got to have a spiritual help. You’re a baby.” And so, they got a hold of me. There’s where I got in trouble. I did just exactly opposite of what God told me to do, you see? But I loved them. I loved fellowship, I thought they’re all my brothers and sisters.
And then there I was in a missionary camp people that was in the mission fields. And there I seen some of the most horrible things. They believed that there was three Gods. I could not understand it. Three Gods! Pray to Jesus God awhile, and then pray to the Father God awhile. But it was the Lord Jesus that I talked to. It was the Lord Jesus that saved me. He was the One I talked to! And I couldn’t understand all this, three Gods. And they’d try to explain it to me. I talked to my wife and she said, “I don’t understand it.” Well I said, “Is God three Gods? Is there three Gods or one God, Shirley?” I said, “Oh my, I’m so confused, I don’t know which way I’m going?” And then I run into that… how are you baptized? Father, Son and Holy Ghost, or in the Name of the Lord Jesus?
So, there I was, and in that mess of time, God revealed to me who He was. I found out that the Lord God Almighty was none other than the lovely Lord Jesus. God tabernacled in human flesh. Jehovah witness said, “He’s not the Almighty God.” I said, “Then John the revelator made a mistake when he said, “He’s the almighty God”, Revelation 1:15, “The almighty God, the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, both the root and the offspring of David”. Brother if you can make three Gods out of the root and the offspring, you sure got something to do.
Revelation 22:13-Reference quote:
13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Revelation 22:16-Reference
16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
He’s both the root and the offspring, He’s the root in the ground, and He’s the branch, and the trunk of the tree and the offspring of it. Yes sir, and I noticed the missionaries went mix bathing, they cut their hair. They wouldn’t have nothing to do… If they went to Pentecostals, they wouldn’t wear no lipstick! If they went and witnessed to the Baptist in their churches, they wore lipstick. They went mix bathing, but they prayed, they prophesied, they spoke in tongues. And I was so sick, spiritually sick, I was running temperature, 104, almost stark raving crazy, trying to understand it. Oh, this one, the Lord called me, and the Lord told me this, and Lord told me that, and the Lord told me this. And I’d meet this minister, and the Lord appeared to me him in my home… I saw an angel, I saw a light, I saw this…”
I said, “Oh Lord, here I thought, “My, My! Everybody’s had this kind of experience I got.” My, my! And I said, “Here the story that they tell is contrary to the one You told me, oh Lord. So, the people said, “You got to go see the man of the hour?” And I said, “Who’s that?” “Well, the man of the hour, God’s man of the hour.” And he told me his name. I said to him, “You mean__? I heard that man on the radio the other day. And he said on the radio” and I said, “when he said it, I was so scared, afraid that God would strike him dead for the statement that he made. I said, when he said that, I knelt down on the floor.” And I said, “By no means will I go to see that man.” And they put pressure on me. See the oh saints, started scare`in me. That’s the way they do, they try to scare yeah into coming their way.
And I said, “if I’m a servant of God, one of these…either he’s wrong, or I am wrong, either he’s right and I am wrong, or I am right or he’s wrong. And I said, “I think that I’m gonna go ahead with that One that’s speaking to me, because that what he tells me is contrary to what that man is sayin. You say that he’s Gods man of the hour, and that may be so, but I ain’t gonna take any chances on him. I said, “because there ain’t nobody gonna tell me that you’ve got to give twenty dollars to move God to heal yeah. And God don’t heal you because of your twenty dollars. But Bible said, by his stripes we’re healed.” That was good enough for me! They got mad at me, never to speak to me again. They said, “You talked against God’s anointed now and you’ve lost your ministry?” I said, “Let me tell you something, if I be a servant of God, if I be a servant of God, the Voice that is speaking to me is true and the voice that is speaking to him is a lie.”
So there, something rose up against me right there, that kinda of worried me after I said it.
And I met man after man. You read about a man from over in India? That made NBC news for three years. I spend a day, led by the Lord, in his house. He saw angels. He did miracles. He this and made NBC news for three years. I guess Brother John knows about him. Brother Avak… Mr. Avak. He’s an antichrist. Anybody believes that they’re the Lord Jesus Christ is antichrist. I don’t care how supernatural you may think your ministry is! He made NBC news for three years, in 1950 I saw him on a news reel when I was in Lakeland, Florida (at the Air Force Base.) They hailed him to be a prophet.
And God led me from this group of missionaries I was with, preachers, evangelists after evangelists, and I hold my hand to God that I could not find the real genuine article in none of those things. Yet I knew that there is one. Money beggars, did not live any life, baptized you anyway they want to, believing in three Gods, and mixed up in the things of the world and won’t live holiness. I could not have anything to do with that.
And a mind yeah, I’ve never been mixed up in the denominations. I never had a television in my house. I’ve been a holiness preacher since I met Jesus Christ. God would not let me do those things.
Now and I met this Avak. And if I ever heard supernatural things, it was in the presence of a man that was demon possessed it sure was Mr. Avak! (Hagopian). He believed that he was the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord revealed to me that he destroyed many souls. But there I learned a horrible lesson, THAT YOU CANNOT BELIEVE EVERY TESTIMONY THAT PEOPLE HAVE! THAT IT DON’T MATTER WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE, HOW GOOD IT LOOKS, HOW GREAT IT IS, if it is not in the Word of God, it is not of God!
This was very trying for me and I went home and went through one trial after the other. I met another great evangelist and when I walked in, he said “he saw a vision of me coming.” Yeah, it was true. Told me everything, called me right out in the audience. Yes, that’s right! What he told me was true. So, I said, “Surely this is a man of God”
Now I was trying to find a man of God. Now, if I would be lying to you, I’d have to be crazy to stand in this hour, in this time, to a little group that I’m pastoring for two years and to get up and lie like a dog to you. But the Lord had revealed to me that there was an Elijah, a John the Baptist, that was gonna take his true people to a land of milk and honey in 1958.Alright now, this is just me, you see? If I can find one place where God ever spoke to me, one thing that didn’t come to pass, then I’ll quit the ministry, get on my knees and asked God to save me because I’ve been deceived. Because the One that appeared to me, is the One that saved me is the One that showed me these things is the One and the self-same person. And if He told me one word that’s contrary to the Bible, then I’ll disbelieve, I’ll disbelieve it and say that I am lost. It’s either God, all God, or it’s all wrong to me. And that Voice said to me, “That there was a ministry of Elijah that was gonna take the true Bride back to the Word of God.”
How many here today know that I came to New England in 1961, by the supernatural. That God lead this man right here to me, he was (pointed to John Cutts, sitting in the audience) on a long fast and he never laid eyes on me before and out of Tens of thousands of people surrounded the man. (convention on Miami Beach) I was four or five floors up in the hotel and the Spirit of God said, “Go downstairs.” And I went downstairs and this man and his wife here was going out the door. You talk about God! Of all the people there, that was going out the door with their bags and had their car parked there. And there was a hustle and bustle getting you out of that big hotel in Miami Beach.
There I walked up and grabbed a hold of them. And here I am today! How many thinks that’s God? That man fasting all that time trying to find the leading of the Lord. And here at the last…Did you know, God never moved on the scene Brother John, until the Hebrew children was right up to the edge of the furnace. And John was right at the edge of the door, very wondering, and probably a little bit discouraged and despondent because he thought that all of his seeking God and giving up all that food was in vain.
But there I said as they went out the door I said, “Just a minute!” Well, that ‘Just a minute’ caused a lot of trouble. It split a lot of churches up, and caused a lot of… how many can say Amen? That ‘Just a minute’ has been causing trouble ever since. Brother John was President of the Full Gospel Business Men’s Chapter here in this part of the town where he was. (In Connecticut.)
And I came to Connecticut, led by the Holy Spirit, just a baby in the Lord. But I had the Word of the Lord anyway, baby or not, it was the Word of the Lord! And they’ll bare me record, that not one thing that I ever told them ever failed to come to pass. Is that right? Though it looked doubtful, didn’t it brothers and sisters? It looked doubtful, didn’t it? I doubted it myself at times. But if God speaks, you can doubt it or not, it’s coming to pass anyway. Though ye fail, yet He abideth faithful, because He cannot… GOD NEVER CHANGES HIS MIND! What He said brother, when He makes a decision on it, you can stick by it. So, if He says, “By my stripes you are healed.” He meant what He said!
So, there as John and Priscilla went out the door and I caught them. Can you imagine that? There was thousands of people there, wasn’t there John? Thousands of them! And I thought that I was gonna speak at this (Miami) convention but they never let me. And there I was just as discouraged as John was.
I said, “My Lord, I have spent all the money that this poor brother had and I begged him, Lord, not to pay my way over here at this big extravaganza, you told me it wasn’t of God.” Didn’t he brother John?
Thousands of people! “Oh, hallelujah, this is it, glory to God.” A little, still, small Voice told me, “It’s not of God. They are deceived and they are the five foolish virgins, and they’re not gettin my spirit.” And I had a man (John Cutts) that believed that God called me. And a little ole fellow like me among all these great big doctors and great big evangelists with the big tent ministries, and a little ole nobody like me. And here I say, “that they’re deceived.”
I seen their best evangelist, some of them a devil working right all around them. Couldn’t none of them discern it! If they had the Holy Ghost, why didn’t they discern that spirit? The Lord God told me the woman was demon possessed. The very devils proved that I was right…throwed the women down and caused an awful`est mess. If I ever seen, a serpent, crawling and foaming at the mouth. And they come back there to get me to cast the devils out. I said, “Go get some of them mighty men of God up there to cast it out!” While the thing was prophesying, speaking in tongues, deceived every one of the preachers. I got up and walked out, I wouldn’t have nothing to do with it. Went up to my room and I got down on my knees and said, “Lord, God get me out of a such a mess as this, as people can’t even know, don’t even know God or the devil, they can’t even discern between God or the devil.”
The Bible said, “Try the spirit, see whether it be of God or not!”.
1 John 4:1-Reference quote:
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Talkin about, “one hundred and fifty that got filled with the Holy Ghost last night saying, Hallelujah.” And God said, “They’re not getting filled with it, proved out that they wasn’t. Huh! I believed the Voice that spoke to me. I don’t care if there is a thousand preachers there, I believed the Voice that spoke to me.
You know a lot of people they say, “How can you be right and everybody wrong?” There was four hundred preachers one time, was sure they was right. Turned out one man was right, they was all wrong, and one man was right! (Story of Micaiah in 1 Kings 22:6)
Now I done learned brother that whoever that is that’s speakin to me, I’m gonna believe Him, I don’t care what anybody says. See. DECEIVED!
So, there I came to New England, still in training, still in training. And we came here and I preached. I told Brother John, “Come out of that thing John, that Full Gospel Business Men.” I said, “It ain’t of God, it’s goin fold right up.” Well, that was hard for Brother John to take, but he believed that God brought us together and it was of God and he came out of that thing, Priscilla and him. And God blessed them mightily. And there we begin to preach. WHAT DID I PREACH? Did I come preaching myself? Did I come preaching myself? No sir, I come telling you, “That there is a Elijah on the scene. It’s gonna produce another apostolic church just like on the day of Jesus… on the day of Pentecost.”
That was 1961, right here in Connecticut. I preached the very same things you are hearing for this last two years. And I have not changed my doctrine, not one thing, but God added to it as he sees fit. Is that right Priscilla and John? Am I preaching the same thing that I was when I first met you? (Brother and Sister Cutts say, “Yes.”) It had to be God. And I told them that there was an Elijah here, and I told him who it was! I said, “It’s William Branham” Now that’s either God that appeared to me and saved me as a dying man in the Coral Gable Hospital, it was either God or its either the devil! I don’t believe in no ‘mister in between’. It’s either all God or, all the devil! Not half God, or 90% God, it’s got as far as I’m concerned, IT’S GOT TO BE ALL GOD, OR NO GOD AT ALL! And I preached that Elijah was here. And I said that whatever you do, you hear him. Cause every man that don’t hear, will be cut off.
And at that time evangelists in1956, 1954 on up through the fifties they was running up and down the country and doing great mighty miracles and everything. I know many of these men, T.L Osborn, all the Baptist… Brother Osteen, Gerald Derstine, Brother Trumbly, and a Brother Allen, and many great ministers, so many I couldn’t name, was having great miracles and doing great things.
But I told them, I said, “When this Elijah, shuts that thing down brother, that’s the end of it.” And I said, “And There’ll arise on the scene a true Bride of Jesus Christ that’ll be exactly like it was on the day of Pentecost.” How many heard me preach that? Well, if a man tells you something and it comes to pass, then the Bible says hear him! Is, that right? And these people believed what I was tellin` them. You know why? Because the ministry, right here in New England, was preaching that Elijah was coming! But they had a group of men…And I came and preached it like it was, proved it by the scriptures and there wasn’t one preacher!
Oh, they lied about me and talked about me behind my back. But Brother John there wasn’t one of them that would come and face me down, and I was just a baby in the Lord. Not one man had the decency come to me, talk to me, to my face. I preached that Jesus Christ is none other than God almighty. I preached water baptism in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, holiness hell fire and brimstone. Something that the other evangelists wouldn’t preach.
But I didn’t care brother, if you never gave me a penny, and I had to eat cornbread and drink branch water, I’d tell you the truth. I didn’t care if I never got another meeting as long as I tell them what’s in my heart, let-her-go!
Yeah, here I was preaching against women preachers. Well, I didn’t know it…Well, I didn’t know you’d get mad at me; I never thought that you’d get mad at me! It never dawned on me that anybody would get mad! I thought everybody loved God. The Bible said, “They that love my word, nothing shall offend them.” So, I believed that.
And then I was up there and they called a woman see, to preach before I did. Oh, I thought that’s terrible! The more I listened to it, the worse I felt. Well, I said, “Now Lord, I got to tell them all about that! I see they don’t know that. See? I got to tell them.” So, the church was packed out. The man that founded a big bible college was there. He was a big feller of it! Now I ain’t got no sense, I just say what God said! Like Micah, “I don’t know about all that, I’ll say what God puts in my mouth I’ll say what God said. Shoot me kill me, hang me, cut my head off, I’m gonna still say what God said.”
See? And I walk right up there, opened my Bible up. Oh, they believed God sent me! Oh, they prophesied, they got themselves in trouble, see? I could hear them say, “Yeah, thus saith the Lord you’re my prophet Yea, thus saith the….” It’s all on record. And when I got up and told them the truth, I wasn’t no prophet no more. Then they said, “You lost your calling right there.” Not that I believe I am a prophet. You know a New Testament prophet is nothing but a inspired preacher anyway. But I got up there, I thought, “I got to help these poor little people, I see that they don’t know that.” See! And I was just feeling so good! And I said, “You know, I want to read something right over here in my Bible found over here in Timothy, where Paul said… and I read it!
And I said, “I am not preaching, I’m just gonna to talk to yeah a little bit,” And I said I’ll read over… here. You remember that Mother? Boy, that was a terrible day, wasn’t it? And I…My My! And I read down there, and I see here where Paul said, that “I forbid a woman to teach or usurp authority over the man, she is forbidden to preach the gospel.”And I quoted a few other scriptures. Now I said, Sister. Now I leaned over on the pulpit like that you know. And I thought of this many a times, Lord I wouldn’t do it now it would scare me to death. Yeah, I would too, I take that back (Brother Bob laughs) I would! And I looked down there and oh it got quiet in there. Well, I didn’t know that man founded the big Bible Institute and his daughters are pastors and everything. Well I didn’t know! If I’d known that… I said it anyway, I guess, (Brother Bob laughs). I looked down and I said, “Sister”, I said a… “You know the Lord has never called you to preach his gospel.” And I said, “He ain’t called your husband there to change them baby diapers either while your preaching out in the ministry?” Oh, it got quiet. I said, “If anything thing about it” I said, “Brother he called you to preach the gospel and called her to to be a good keeper at home.” Well, his face turned red, blue, orange, got worse! And then he blew up, then I thought he was gonna… and out that door he went! Jumped and run out of there! I thought, oh my, what have I done? That man got mad and run out the door! I thought my, can you imagine that! Got mad! Well then, I thought, well boy, what have I done? Here I’m in trouble here! So, I said, “Sister,” I said, ‘‘I love you. I said this because I love you.” I said, “Maybe the preachers wouldn’t tell yeah that See! But that’s the truth.” I said, “If you’ll believe that” I said, “One day you’ll love me for that. Maybe not now, maybe it’ll hurt now, but one day you’ll love me for it.” And I went on preaching, and well a God just anointed the Word so strong that they couldn’t…they couldn’t resist it. And even the… oh brothers that had women preachers, pastors come over and hug my neck crying and said, “Brother that’s the Word of the Lord.” And they had to say it was God.
So, there that’s the start of this little group. They turned against me, right after I went out the door. But that’s the way it always is. But the next thing you know, went up there to tell ole John and this little couple – I just learned to like them real well! And I kinda of hate to leave them and I went up there and ready to take off. And a… Oh my, I heard a real prophesy that night that came in. A man told me, “I was God’s servant and all these great things he was gonna do,” and I listened. And oh, a little ole brother that worked with me he was all enthused and I said, “Oh brother” I said, “don’t pay any attention to that! That brother would turn against me in a minute… and he did! But his prophesy sounded awful good though. Told me, “wait here and he would do this…. And he said, “Don’t you have nothing to do with this you come over here in the country and wait on me boy.” That’s what I done too.
And I…The next thing you know it everybody started coming in the house. (At John Cutts In Yalesville, Connecticut) “Hello! yeah hello, come in!” A car pulled up, and here come another car load in. Boy well, the next thing I know they are lined up out there. They said, “Look a here boy you can’t go off and leave us out on a limb. What are we gonna do? We done heard this thing. What are we gonna do? I said, “My, my, I never thought of that! I never thought of that when I got through just preaching: I didn’t know what you did after that” Here’s all these people and they want to come out of all these churches. They wanted to get lined up with this true Elijah’s ministry.
Now the Bible said, “Behold the day cometh that shall burn as an oven.”
Malachi 4:1-Reference quote:
1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
But before that hydrogen war comes in other words, I’ll send Elijah the prophet. Did the Bible say that? It sure did! Did it say a group of men? You say it was John? Why didn’t the earth burn? Better look the Bible over again. John the Baptist that forerun the first coming of Jesus Christ, was Malachi 3, Malachi 3 but Malachi 4 is the one I am talking about.
Malachi 3:1-Reference quote:
1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.
Malachi 4:5-6-Reference quote:
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:
6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages-9-The Laodicean Church Age
William Marrion Branham
Though he will not be popular, he will be vindicated by God. As Jesus authenticated John, and the Holy Spirit authenticated Jesus, we can well expect this man will be first of all authenticated by the spirit working in his life in the acts of the power that are indisputable and found nowhere else; and Jesus himself, in returning, will authenticate him, even as he authenticated John. John witnessed that Jesus was coming, — and so will this man, like John, witness that Jesus is coming. And the very return of Christ will prove that this man is the forerunner of His second coming. This is the final evidence that this indeed is the prophet of Malachi 4, for the end of the Gentile period will be Jesus, Himself appearing. Then it will be too late for those who have rejected him. In order to further clarify our presentation of this last-day prophet. let us particularly note that the prophet Matthew 11:12, was John the Baptist, who was foretold in Malachi 3:1, “Behold I will send My messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me; and the Lord, Whom ye seek she;; suddenly come to His temple, even the Messenger of the Covenant, Whom ye delight in: behold, He shall come, saith the Lord of Hosts” Matthew 11:1-12. “And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding His twelve disciples, He departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities. Now when John had heard in prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, and said unto Him, Art thou He That should come, or do we look for another? Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the Gospel preached to them. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in Me. And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold they that wear soft clothing are in the kings’ houses. But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold I send My messenger before Thy face, which shall prepare Thy way before Thee. Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he,” This has already taken place: This has happened. It is over. But note in Malachi 4:1-6, “For, bhold the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear My Name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in His wings: and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked: for the shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts. Remember ye the law of Moses My servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with statutes and judgements. Behold, I will send Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: and he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.” See, immediately after the coming of Elijah, the earth will be cleansed by fire and the wicked burned to ashes. Of course, this did NOT happen at the time of John (the Elijah for his day). The Spirit of God that prophesied the coming of the messenger in Malachi 3:1 (John) was but reiterating His previous prophetic statement of Isaiah 40:3 made at least three centuries previously. “The voice that crieth in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.” Now John, by the Holy Ghost, voiced Bothe Isaiah and Malachi in Matthew 3:3, “For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make His paths straight.” So we can see well from these Scriptures that the prophet in Malachi 3, who was John, was NOT THE PROPHET OF MALACHI 4, though indeed, both John and this last-day prophet have upon them the same Spirit Which was Elijah. NOW THIS MESSENGER OF MALACHI 4 AND REVELATION 10:7 IS GOING TO DO TWO THING. ONE: ACCORDING TO MALACHI 4 HE WILL TURN THE HEARTS OF THE CHILDREN TO THE FATHERS. TWO: HE WILL REVEAL THE MYSTERIES OF THE SEVEN THUNDERS IN REVELATION 10 WHICH ARE THE DIVINELY REVEALED “MYSTERY-TRUTHS” THAT LITERALLY TURN THE HEARTS OF THE CHILDREN TO THE PENTECOSTAL FATHERS. Exactly so. But consider this also. This prophet-messenger’s day will be be as they were in Ahab’s day, and in John’s. And since it is “ONLY THE CHILDREN” WHOSE HEARTS WILL BE TURNED, IT IS ONLY THE CHILDREN WHO WILL LISTEN. In the days of Ahab only 7,000 true-seed Israelites were found. In the days of John there were also very few. The masses in both ages were in fornication of Idolatry. I want to make one more comparison between the Loadicean prophet-messenger and John, the prophet-messenger who preceded Jesus’ first coming. THE PEOPLE IN JOHN’S DAY MISTOOK HIM FOR THE MESSIAH. John 1:19-20, “And this the record of John, when the jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? And he confessed, and denied not: but confessed, I am not the Christ.” Now this last-day prophet-messenger will have such power before the Lord that there will be those who mistake him for the Lord Jesus. (There will be a spirit in the world at the end time that will seduce some and make them believe this. Matthew 24:24-26, “For there shall arise falser Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders: insomuch that, if it we’re possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold I have told you before, He is in the secret chambers; believe it not.” But don’t you believe it. He is not Jesus Christ. He is not the Son of God. HE IS ONE OF THE BRETHREN, A PROPHET, A PROPHET, A MESSENGER, A SERVANT OF GOD. He needs no greater honor bestowed upon him than which John receive when he was the voice that cried, “I am not He, BUT HE IS COMING AFTER ME.”
After that prophet come, there are five comings of Elijah: that spirit of Elijah, Elisha, John the Baptist, Malachi 4 and 5, and Elijah to the Jews, that’s five. Don’t make it four. Five of them!
So, I knew that the Voice that spoke to me in Florida, said, “Elijah was here.” He revealed to me that it was none other than William Branham. Only I didn’t tell the people it was William Branham. I’d say now, I would describe the ministry, what it would do, and how it would be. And they read between the lines, didn’t they? Now I say it’s William Branham. When I see that they can see it, I would tell it was William Branham.
So, of course that cut me off immediately, I didn’t have another open door, cut me off. And I went through training, meeting every kind of spirit that God could bring me, just to test me, many hundreds. I feel like David, Lord, you tried me every minute of the day, you tried me. Everything happen to try to get me off the Word. My dear minister brothers I love real dearly come, and the Lord would let them do it. Then I would get into the most awful`est messes that ever was by listening to my brethren. And oh, he would just tell me, “If you’re gonna walk with me, you’ve got to walk alone! You got to walk alone!” He said, “Be still and be quiet!” And my, I was going through the awful`est time that ever was.
And I was in Jeffersonville, Indiana in Brother Branham’s mother’s house. And I wanted to hear with my own ears in her own words his mother tell the story of that Angel that came in that house, that little cabin, and the pillar of fire. How many know that the pillar of fire that was with Elijah today is hanging in Washington, D.C. right now? Yes sir!
I say this, in my own ten years, there has not been one man that went before that prophet to try to deceive him, that God didn’t cut him down right there. There’re plenty in the graveyards tonight over it. Yes, sir! How many say amen to that? (Congregation says, “Amen!”) Not one case, I’d hate to count them. Not one thing could triumph over that ministry, and I knew without a shadow of the doubt that God had told me that “Elijah would be here.” And I seen how he stands.
And I know what a prophet is. I know what a prophet is. A prophet is the Word of God. People I’ve heard great ministers say, “I got a great gift just like Brother Branham” I said, “You have?” I said, “What kind of a gift brother?” “Well discernment, well I discern just like he does.” I said, “You do, you got a gift of discernment?” “Yeah.” I said, “That’s not a gift of discernment working brother.” I said, “That’s an office of a major prophet.”
And I said, “There’s only one that’s spoken of in the Bible, show me yours!” Oh brother, I say this humbly, I’ve never had a man could stand up to me face to face to disprove that, and I challenged them all over the country privately to come and do it. I would corner them right after they come out of the pulpit and take them aside and say, “Brother that’s as contrary to the scriptures as can be. And I want you to give me one scripture to base it on. You deceived hundreds of people there tonight and I want you to show me in the Bible where that’s so. I never had a one could do it. They know that they’re just blowing up a big bag with nothing in it!
Bible said that He would send Elijah, One man to turn the true hearts of the people back to the true apostolic Word of God, so that there could be a Bride for Jesus Christ. Let’s WISE UP BROTHERS AND SISTERS, YOU KNOW THAT THERE’S GOT TO BE A ‘MISS JESUS’ SOMEWHERE! She’s not stuck out in the Baptists, Methodist, Pentecostals, this Twoness, Oneness, and all this. THERE’S GOT TO BE A TRUE BRIDE SOMEWHERE! And how you gonna to get a true Bride? No other way than for God to send a true prophet like He promised in the Bible.
Well, you believe your right, and this one believes he’s right, but God’s got to come behind it and back it up and prove it. I seen four hundred ministers challenge this man of God (William Branham) and there wasn’t a one of them that could do anything. The Angel of the Lord would come up right beside him and reveal everything about them, and it scared them off. How many raise your hands? And four hundred had to bite the dust! Four hundred of the best the ministerial association they had in Illinois. Catholic priests, Pentecostals, Jesus name preachers, Trinitarians, great evangelists like Tommy Hicks. Where’s he now? I was supposed to preach a meeting with him in Georgia and I was gonna ask him, was gonna tell him, Tommy you’ve been wonderfully used of the Lord, but I’ll say when you laid that trap for God’s prophet, your doomed boy till you repent! What’s happened to him? Where’s he at now? Brother when he lied and did what he did to God’s prophet brother, he never rose again, he’s down. And all the rest of them and four hundred of them that said they did not believe his (William Branham’s) doctrine, and laid the trap for him. What happened to them? They all got scared and repented and said they were gonna come down to Jeffersonville and listen and repent and be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and get his tapes and listen to them. How many of the preachers come? Not a one of them. He challenged them, he said, “You doctors of divinity, and lawyer degrees, and PHD’s and everything, and you lied to me and laid a trap for me over my doctrine, now I challenge you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to bring your Bibles and stand beside me and disprove one thing that I preach!”
Brother, I believe in, put up or shut up! They everyone shut up. And Tommy Hicks… I got a picture of it; he buried his head and hid. That’s all right, you could be used of God, but don’t you never touch God’s prophet. Don’t you never come up against the Word of God, or your doomed right there. And I seen all these things heading up. And the Lord Jesus revealed to me that He would take His prophet away. He would have to take his prophet away, so that He could go on and deal with His Bride.
And that there was gonna rise a real true Bride of Christ that will have the same power that was in the early church, and even greater. And there’ll be a ministry just like the Lord Jesus on the earth and in action, at that time, that Jesus Christ raptured the Bride. Now Dearly beloved, I heard and saw those things by a revelation from God, and if…and if William Branham is not the Elijah that is promised in Malachi 4 and 5. Life magazine packed the picture of the seven angels that appeared to him.
It’s published and in some of the biggest magazines in the country. It’s in Life Magazine; it’s in the Encyclopedia Britannica, it’s in all kinds of things. It’s hanging in Washington D.C. The government officials have testified that God has visited the earth. But what has the church world done? Turned it down because it did not agree with their theology. But I ask, did God back up with their denomination? DID GOD BACK UP THEIR THEOLOGY BY THE POWER OF GOD? DID GOD BACK UP GOD’S PROPHET IN THIS HOUR, BY MIGHTY SIGNS WONDERS AND MIRACLES? Then there’s something is getting ready to happen here!
Now, let’s bring this up, it would take me days and days to put all that in here. But just to give you a little skeleton eye site on it!
This was brought to my attention on January 7 Five AM in the morning. I was very disturbed because of a dear precious brother, that was telling me some of the visions and the things that’s taking place. And it very much upset me because I did not understand it, and I wanted to believe it. So, I was very upset, and I went to bed and I finally fell asleep… and after very nervous and worried I finally fell asleep and along toward morning I had a dream.
How many believe in spiritual dreams? At the end of this dream I heard a Voice speak. It’s not like a dream, I mean it’s something you know that something happened. I heard a Voice speak and said this… Now mind you that God has continually for ten years trained me that I can’t tell you the things that I’ve gone through. They’d have to write books how He trained me. How people would come. And you’d think that it was the breath from heaven. And my own wife knows that I by the Word of God, have seen through those things by the Word, not a gift but by the Word of God. I’d let them talk till I caught them in the Word of God, and I’d find it not so!
I saw a man deceive thousands. And he looked like if there ever was an apostle or prophet, he looked like one. And everybody was crying, wet their handkerchiefs down. Turned out he was the filthiest, dirtiest antichrist that you ever seen in your life. The woman he’s living with wasn’t even his wife, he deceived everybody there. Oh, he saw visions, spoke in tongues, prophesied and the women with him spoke in tongues, like an archangel and give the interpretation to it. The spirit of God let me know, “something wrong with that man.” I turned around to my wife boy, … I was crying. Yes sir, I believed it! I’d say, “Oh Lord thank you God, and then all at once he struck something in the Word, Ut Oh! Then I got my eyes open. Then I waited a minute and then I told Shirley, “That man’s deceived. He is in a delusion.” Turned out later on, it proved out right.
It’s hard, I wouldn’t tell nobody about it. Wouldn’t nobody believe me anyway. But it turned out, it was right. And I seen them oh shout! I seen them shout and jump up and down, and praise God. And something would tell me, that speaks to me, “That’s not me” And it would always be contrary to the crowd! And that’s what gave me the most trouble. And my wife kept telling me, “Why don’t you listen to the Lord? Why don’t you obey the Lord?” Then God would speak supernaturally every now and then and give me a sound rebuking. He’d say, “Be still and be quiet if you want me to teach you. Stay away from man, leave man alone. Stay away and I’ll talk to you.”
But would I do it! No. I just had to go! Boy, had to go! I walked right into Jeffersonville, Indiana, and something told me said, “Talk to that woman” and I wouldn’t do it. I was afraid a…Well, I thought…Well, instead a… See, if God tells you to do something do that much. And then you stand right there, and if He don’t tell you nothing else, you just stand there and He’ll tell you the rest of it. But a lot of time we want God to tell us all, so we can see it real plain and understand it real good before we do it. Something said, “Talk to that woman” And I wouldn’t do it. So, then I got all hurt and tore up because I didn’t do it.
So, then I walked in the hotel, and there she stood with her husband. Then I got scared again! What am I gonna say? And the man said, “I’m gonna go over! He went over and got her and her and her husband to come over. As soon as she walked over, the spirit of God hit her before she got to me. Told me…begin to tell me all the things I was doing. I said, “That’s’ right, that’s right, that’s right! Yes, ma’am!” And then she shook me real bad, and I never got over it.
She said, “You just come out from a missionary camp, didn’t you?” I said, “Yes.” She said, “Like a lot of trailers a lot missionaries people, full of devils!” She said, “A missionary camp, full of devils.” Brother, I could have went through the floor. That scared me to death, but it went right on speaking brother, revealing secrets. And some of them wasn’t too good. She turned right around when she got through with me, and the spirit of God turned around and caught that man and revealed him, wasn’t too good what she said about him. He said that’s right! I said, “well that’s good and bad, I know that must be God. She said, “It was a missionary camp of devils.” Brother let me tell you something, that changed my life right there, I said, “Lord God, I tell you Lord, I’ll never believe nobody, if it’s not according to your Word I don’t care who it is, I’ll never believe nothing that’s not in your Word regardless of who it is! I’ll take thy Word.”
And I begin… God begin to change me right there, then I started walking alone with the Lord Jesus and listen to His still small Voice. He begin to train me in the Word of God. I’d get a little bit here, and little bit there. So, next thing you know, it brings me up these last two years. God has revealed many things, too many words. Even men that’s been out on the field, like Ned Iverson, and Lee Vale. In those days, people would ask me what did I think of them. I said, “I never seen nobody talk things like he’s talking.” I said. “I never seen nothing like that.” One brother asked me, “What do I think about it? I said, it would have to be God, it’s God almighty. I’ve only been saved a few days to know all them things. I was preaching deep, deep, deep revelations that people just couldn’t understand.
I told a brother back there in the back, down in the mountains of Kentucky, a brother was fasting and praying twenty-some days, trying to find the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. And everybody told him, “he had it.” He said, “don’t tell me, I don’t have it.” He lived more of a life than most of them that said they had it. And there I met old George (Parelli,) and we loved one another and took a liken to one another. And old George believed me. I just had a busting out see. I just had to tell somebody, some of these things? And I’d get ole George over there and I’d tell him some of these things that God told me. And ole George would sit there, he’d believe me. He wouldn’t understand it, but he’d look kinda off in a distance every now and then, but he didn’t doubt it, He believed it.
And then he hadn’t seen me for years, I was down in New York City, listening to Malachi 4 and 5’s tapes. He said, “Look at that”, said, “That Lambert told me that years ago.” Then it’d go on a little bit and he’d put on another tape and say, “LOOKA THERE, THERE IT IS AGAIN, HE TOLD ME THAT TOO.” It went on like that for days. He said, “Boy I got to find out if that man’s still preaching the same thing that he told me years ago!” Ole Brother George come in one day and I said, “Brother George, I am still preaching the same thing.” So, we’ve been together ever since. He had been searching trying to find someplace where they preach the real true unadulterated Word.
Now something happened when I came to New England. God supernaturally kept dealing with me about the east, but I could not for my life see that it was Connecticut. I thought maybe it was in the vicinity of New York City. I never dreamed it was Connecticut. And I had no intentions of ever coming back here at all. Because I don’t want nothing to do with pastoring at all!
But God kept dealing and dealing and about the east. “Out of the east, out of the east, out of the east and my Bible falling open at a certain scriptures over in Ezekiel 47.
Ezekiel 47:1-Reference quote:
1 Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.
2 Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.
Ezekiel 43:4-Reference quote:
4 And the glory of the Lord came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.
Out of the east, the glory shall come out of the east, out of the east, kept going on and on and on like that.
So, then God supernaturally led me, worked it out. And I told brother Herman King, who was a witness to it. I said, “Brother Herman, I know it’s going to shock you, because I know you moved over here to (Louisiana) to be close to me.” I said, “I want to tell you before it happens.” I said, “The Lord appeared to me last night”, and I said, “I am going to be leaving you in a few days.” Is that right Brother Herman? (Bro. Herman says, “Yes!”)
So, in just a little bit here it come, and I come to Connecticut. Immediately when I got to Connecticut, I knew that I was gonna have a terrible enemy to face. I knew how he was entrenched here, that’s one reason I didn’t want to come. Nobody knows, even Lee Vale, men like Brother Coleman, and many others that said, “There’s more demon force right here in this one area, around this one group than they ever faced in their life.” I knew that, I knew it was here! I ran from it years ago, that’s why I didn’t want to stay here. And I knew that if I come back, I surely was gonna have a battle on my hands, unless I knew I had somebody with me. I would of never come and faced that battle unless I knew God sent me. I had to have that from the Lord before I come. And immediately when I arrived here, I went into this apartment and shut that door, and here He comes. And here He come and started speaking, week in and week out. Brother Howie knows and in them days, I never come… I never left that room hardly. Did I Brother? And He came and begin to speak to me in his word.
I tell yeah, I love to see a personal vision or something like that. But I thank God for that. But I tell you, when the supernatural comes and that Voice begins to speak in His Word brother, that I tell yeah that… I love that more than anything else. And I would rather have revelation upon the Word of God than to be able to raise the dead, open the blinded eyes, and do great wonderful miracles. I’d rather have a revelation of the Word of God.
And there God came in the room and begin to reveal the things to me that I had never saw in my life, and every time it would line right up with the Word of God and dovetail all the time.
And there as He’d give it, I came and spoke it to you. And people here and witness to this, that immediately when I started bringing out these things, some divine supernatural person started coming into the meetings. How many say amen to that? (Amen!) Walk right in, even into ungodly people coming into the meetings. There’s some supernatural person just walked in and when I’d get up to a certain place in my text and I would feel Him pass by (Brother Lambert claps hands) and there He’d just fill the place up with His presence. And I never had that before. I’ve been in great meetings but I’ve never seen the Holy Spirit get out in the people and anoint the people… out… and be in the building.
I’ve seen it in prayer lines, with the great power. But to get out among the people, I had never seen that before. Then I noticed the people that come in my home, and they’d be there in a little bit and say something, and here He’d come. Brother Bill, how many of you are a witness to that, and know that? You come around in the cars with me, He comes right in. A brother and I went up to Maine went right up there and I was speaking and the men was doubting some of the things that I was sayin. It was hard but I let them know! That’s one thing about me that people don’t like, I’ll not talk about you behind your back, I’ll tell you to your face what I think. And I begin to tell them to their face what I thought, and they started to resent it and He walked right in and brother, they hit the floor and covered their faces.
Is that right brother? And then we walked outside and they put their arms upon me, and something come to me again and I spoke it and there He came right down there in Maine in that snow and them brothers, One of them hit the ground mud, snow and all, and the others run over and fell over on the car, and children set spell bound under the presence of God. A little brother, opened up his eyes…a little ignoramus and everybody thought…He opened his eyes he saw an angel standing right there with a Bible in his hands. And nobody knows what’s happen only myself, my wife, and others that’s been in my home.
And see how the Lord, the Holy Spirit, has come and revealed these things that you’ve heard for two years. And I asked you, have you ever heard this spirit speakin here that ever said one thing contrary? I asked you, have you ever heard anything contrary to what you’ve heard on tape, and you’ve listened to them since 1961? How many would raise your hands? You know that’s got to be somebody else besides your pastor. Is that right?
Now this kept happening these two years that I’ve been here that the Holy Spirit is come in my home and revealed these things and come and witnessed to you. And I even got out of the will of God because I love Brother Herman, Sister Eloise, and mama. I love them and I traveled seventeen hundred miles to go down there and try to help them, because I knew that God had his hand on this family. If nobody believes that a prophet’s here. There’s was a woman who sat right back there and fasted and prayed for fifteen years or more crying for her children. Never seen this man of God (Brother William Branham) before in her life. She come right before this prophet of God, he spoke right out, and revealed every secret in her heart and said, “Thus saith the Lord, I give you your children.” And her children sit`in here right now, saved by the power of God, by the spoken Word of God. And around the world it’s went! And if this wasn’t the true ministry, do you think God would send a Thus saith the Lord child to sit under it? I don’t believe He would. Do you? All the devils in hell tried to keep them children away from me.
And I went to Arkansas and God give me a revelation upon the first day and the eighth day. How many know that? You tried it; you can’t do nothing with it! It’s true! And there, even out of the will of God, I spoke that, I spoke down there. And God poured out his spirit and they said they never seen nothing like it in Arkansas. Is that right Brother Herman? And even a little ole preacher that followed me ten days and disagreed with me horribly, but I loved him and never raised my voice and stayed right with him. He followed me ten days just to hear me speak on the Word of God. And there he was tore up because the things he seen, and what God done in Arkansas, when God come and pour out his spirit. And there wasn’t nobody that could stand against it and there wasn’t a person left in their seat hardly.
And 99% of them thought I was a devil, when I got there. And I walk right into the city, into the drug store and one minister sit right there and was thinking in his heart that he want to do something for me, buy me a little pen. And the spirit of God come right in the car and revealed something to him, filled the car up. And then I hated to get out of the car and leave that precious anointing. But I walked in the drug store, I didn’t know he come in behind me to buy me a little ball point pen. As he come in the drug store, I reached in my pocket and got a bill of money and laid it up. And I thought a thought, and here God came down in that drug store.
A man standing, must of been forty feet from me, come over trembling, he said, “Bro Lambert, the Lord God is in this drug store.” I said, “Yes, Sir” and I said, “I thought a thought.” And I went out and got in the car, and he’d never seen nothing like that. And I knew God was dealing with me, something was gettin close. And God kept trying, told me, “Come aside, come aside, stay alone, listen to me. Stay with what I tell you. Don’t listen to nobody, don’t listen to nobody. Say with what I tell you.”
And that’s been hard for me to do. And I’m the most misunderstood preacher, I don’t go nowhere or do anything and yet my name is black balled from one coast to the other. A precious man from oversees wrote me, and said, “The Lord God spoke to me and said get in touch with you, that you have a Word of the Lord for me.” And he said, “Brother Bobby, it would have to be God because all that I’ve heard is bad news about you.”
And he said, “Can you come to my church?” He overseas, I’ve been praying about it. And so many things have been taking place. I see how brethren turned against me for no reason at all. Not a one of them can come and face me on the Word of God. Then I know that God has let them do that so that I’ll be alone?
And then I seen it, and I said, “Yes Lord, I’ll walk alone with you and I’ll do what you tell me to do!” And I was laying in the bed and a precious brother that I went across the country with, and he wanted me to preach, I didn’t want to. I preached a little message and he ridiculed it. But it was the Word of God. A little brother that followed me from Florida was there and he said, “Bro Bob that blessed my soul, I’d like to have a tape of that to send to my wife.” And the Lord let him do it. He said some hard things to me that cut my wife, and just tore her up. I went in my room and laid on the bed and there the Holy Spirit came in the room and tears dripped down my face.
The Spirit of God said, “They’ll try to change you” Then I said, “Lord there ain’t nobody gonna change me God. (Brother Bob cries). I’ll preach the Holy Ghost gospel, the old-time gospel as long as I got breath in me.” Then there the Lord revealed to me that it was a danger to be close to the ministers, because not knowing that they’d try to lead me out of the path that He called me to go. Not knowing, see. So, that scared me more. It kept coming to me year after year, month after month these things that happened, so I finally I’ve made up my mind now, I got to go alone.
So then, I meet precious brethren around the country. That say things… the Lord said this, and they saw a vision of these things. And then I hear them and I know that the things they say in the Word of God is contrary to what the Lord said. It’s contrary dearly beloved. I have their tapes in my office and it caused me much heartache. And then this caused me just recently to go to bed very nervous and upset. Brethren hearing whirl winds, and stopping storms, and doing many things, and then when it comes to the Word of God, I say, “Brother now show me this here.” And they’d contradict, and they disagree with the way I teach the scriptures.
And I know the Lord revealed to me years ago, and there the spirit of God rested upon me while I was sitting in a little service. The spirit of God came upon me and I couldn’t control it. I had to leave the people. And I went outside and I sit down out there, I just sit there like an Indian and the tears dripping down my face when the spirit of God was all over me. And I didn’t know what was going on! And there when I come to myself, I looked up and there stood two women, with long dress and long sleeves and long hair, which I liked that. And it just pleased to look up and see those holy dressed women and one of them was playing a guitar and singing, and they was aware of the Holy Spirit was falling all over the place out there.
But there was only three of us standing out there at that time. And then the woman looked right at me and revealed the thing to me that God had told me about! The type of ministry that I was getting ready to come into. And there she revealed it to me, and then the power of God struck me, and it was so forceful that I fell to my knees. I couldn’t stand up under it!. And I heard the Voice of God speak and say, “Be still and be quiet. Man will confuse you. Be still and be quiet. The Holy Ghost will come and teach you, and I will send thee to my people that need thee.” And I know that God has kept His hand on me and kept me safe, and brought me through these things for a reason. (Brother Lambert is crying).
And God knows, my hand to heaven, not ever dreaming of what was going on, in 1961 the Lord paid me a visit in Sarasota, Florida, that shook-up Sarasota, Florida brother, they never got over it. Great tent meeting going on and a great convention, and a little ole humble man like me not knowing it. And a man of God, Brother Osteen, was preaching. He looked at me and said, “God sent you here, I’m leaving.” That scared me to death, him being a great preacher and me just a little old hillbilly. I said, “Surely brother, not so. I have come to hear you.” And there he said, “No. God spoke to me.”He said, “He sent you here, I am leaving.” Oh, I had never preached before only to just a little teeny hand full that came out to hear an little ole ignoramus like me. And so there in the room that night with two missionaries …a missionary and a Jesus Name preacher in the room. There He came in the room and revealed to me. Oh friend, there is something…. We’d better be ready.
It’s gonna be terrible if you miss this. There God revealed to me, not knowing it, spoke to me with the same Voice that He spoke to Noah. I didn’t know the scriptures and spoke to me the same identical words almost that He spoke to Noah. He said, “The vileness and wickedness of man has come up before me, as stink in my nostrils and I can stay my hand any longer. I’m gonna pour out my wrath upon the people.”
How many know that? In 1961 it went into books all over the world. (Also printed in Full Gospel Business Men’s magazine) They was gonna buy me an airplane and fly me all over the world and to the churches. And they got up and prophesied that I was Gods prophet, many of them did.
And then when I preached name of Jesus Christ and the truth – they turned me down.
Then I turned into a false prophet. That’s strange how you can be God’s prophet one night and be a false prophet the next night, see! I don’t understand those things. If you’re God’s servant you are always God’s servant. So then, not knowing it, but there I saw myself running through the cities of the world crying to the people to repent and get under the token.
Now that was years and years before the token message was ever preached. How many read that book? Years. Who was that I ask you? Who was that? Did not the seven angels come down from heaven? Six months before the seven angels came to the earth, how many heard it was said so, that there was gonna be seven angels gonna appear to the prophet. Absolutely, I heard with my own ears. Six months later, a little less than that, He came to earth, seven angels.
Open up the seven seals of the Bible, and what was the revelation in there? That time is over! Grace is almost over, and God is gonna pour out His wrath on everything that don’t have that Token. How many knows that’s true? Well then, was that God that appeared to your pastor there in 1961? (Amen) Was it God? (Church says amen!) Now how many knows, without any preconceived idea of what to preach, that I come and speak to you by revelation, not one thing has ever been out of cater. But fits perfectly with the message of Malachi 4 and 5. It could not be just your brother I know that, I’m ignorant and unlearned. But what He tells me, I come and tell you just exactly what He said. Not knowing see, that it’ll fit together, but I tell you and I see it come together. Very terrible, fearful things that God has revealed in His Word ready to happen to people, and they don’t know.
Now I saw myself going into the world preaching the Token of God, that was my message. I was preaching the Token. How many knows that every message I preach, I tie that in somewhere. I saw myself years ago, going through the world preaching that. God told me that, “He would send me into all the world and He’d send me into the hospitals to pray for the sick. I saw myself going right in there, told me He’d send me into all the world. Now dearly beloved, there is too much that’s happened in the past few months that can be passed by too easily.
We went to Jeffersonville, Indiana, and there God moved upon me not to go into a certain room. And I, and knowing the ministers, three or four ministers in there, they called and said they was coming. I told my wife, “I didn’t tell them I’d be here.” I said I’ve got to leave. I went to Louisville, Kentucky, drove back hours later thinking they’d be gone, because I didn’t want to be with ministers that day.
There I came in the hotel…the motel and the Lord… and the little brother started to go, I said, “I am going to my motel my brother.” He said, “Well, I’m going with you.” I said, “I can’t go in that room right now.” I went in the motel room, laid down upon the bed and I felt bad because I was afraid the brother might think I didn’t want to fellowship with all the brethren and the ministers in there.
But it pays to do what God leads you to do. And there things were happening in the motel room of a dear precious little brother saying things, see. Same old thing never stops in ten years. This one saw this, and this one saw that, and this, and that. It makes it very bad see, makes it very hard. And after it was over, I said, “we’ll go over now.” And I went over, shook hands with the brethren and they’ve been there so long they had to leave. And as I stood there, the Holy Ghost, the spirit of Christ, came in the room. Is that right brethren? Can I hear an Amen? (Brothers say, “Amen”) Without saying a thing, He came right into the room and people begin to bow their heads and cry.
And a woman started telling a strange dream that she just had. Of that I was… she never saw me before in her life. And she’d just come out to believe the message of Malachi 4 and 5. She come out of a certain Pentecostal denomination. And she said, “It was totally impossible, it looked like for her to come to this meeting, but God supernaturally made a way right before she left. And she wanted to come because she had a strange dream, that she saw a man. That she didn’t know at the time, but it turned out to be me.”
She told a brother, that’s a dear friend of mine, “That she saw me and it was Brother Lambert.” And she said, she saw me standing preaching a certain message. That I was standing, preaching and a minister rose up and denied it and resisted what I was saying. And I said, “Don’t do that brother, please don’t do that.” I said, “If you do, you’ll drop dead right where you are at!” And come against it anyway he dropped dead.” And she said, “Of course, it scared everybody to death and I was very upset over it and was crying.” And said, “Then I turned around and walked down and laid my hand upon the man and I asked God to let his life come back, and the Lord raised him up.” And when she told that the power of the Holy Ghost filled the room. Is that right, brethren? (Amen)
And I was just stunned that the Lord would give that right there in front of the people. And not knowing that, see, I said, “Sister,” I said, “You know…” I said, “No one could know that what you saw,” I said, “Even a prophet of God himself told me the same thing on an interview, years ago.” There it was again, see.
Now I see that there is a message that’s ready to live again. And then coming back home, just recently… I have so many things, I can’t tell them all. But I was so upset from these things that I was hearing, and I tried… believe me dear brother, I say this humble, I have tried and I’ve tried to doubt what’s happen. I’ve tried hard. I quit the ministry and left. And the prophet of God got a hold of me and revealed things to me. And I had to get back on the field. And I’ve tried to doubt it. I spent months a nervous wreck, walking the floor while you was sleeping. Demons tormenting. You don’t know what, what torment I went through. Trying to stay with what God said. I have no way…You’ll never know have no way, what it is to carry something like this in your heart, knowing that God spoke to you, and sweat it out all the time. Sweat everything out that God told me. It has to line up with that prophet’s message, or it’s not of God. How many understand that? And I sweated these things out, some of them up until eight years I sweated some of them out. Nobody knows how it wrenched my heart! See? And nobody believed me, nobody believed me, my wife!
You don’t know what that does to you? You try to doubt God. It would be a pleasure to say, “No it’s not all of God.” Then I could be free of the burden. But no, He keeps coming all the time, no matter how backslid I was, whether I was praying or not, He kept coming, kept revealing things. And I just couldn’t get away from it. So, it really burst`ed opened when I come to Connecticut. And He tied the message of Malachi 4 and 5 together for me. He did it! And the highlight of this prophet’s ministry was the real true seal of God… how to receive the real true baptism of the Holy Spirit, which only the true Bride of Christ is gonna receive that true spirit because they’re all deceived and the false ones.
Follow a false prophet and receive a false experience. Follow a true prophet of God and the law of God will bring you to the real true seal of God. It seals you into the body of Christ. I went to bed very upset because the things that I heard, it was just contrary to what the Lord was telling me! I was so upset and nervous. I wanted to believe it.
And then it come to a show down in the Word. Then I said, “Show me brother. Contradict this in the Bible or on tape.” He couldn’t do that either. He couldn’t do it! And I went on and it couldn’t be done. He couldn’t prove by the Word of God. If it’s not proven by the Word of God, I won’t have nothing to do with it. I don’t care what it sounds like.
So, I was very upset and nervous, and my wife was upset and nervous. And I went to bed, and I dreamed this dream. Right at the end of this dream I heard a Voice speak as clear as a bell and it was Brother Branham’s voice. And it said, “The bride of Christ will receive a vindicated minister.” I come to and there He was in the room. I said, “Lord, I know that’s the same one that comes to me all the time.” And I said, “Lord,” I said, “if that’s Thee,” I said, “I cannot rest in dreams too much” but I said, “Lord if that’s thee, give me another witness.”
And then as I lay there, in His presence of his anointing, here come a revelation to me on this little scripture that I read. And I saw Peter in this boat, and it was ready to sink. His presence right in the room. Oh, it’s good when He gives you little revelation like that in the Word, it blesses your heart. It means much to me now, this little story. And I saw Peter and the ministry that was to carry on after the Christ, and the message was crucified. And there all depended on them men of God that was in that boat. And the devil had that boat watered logged, I tell yeah. It was watered logged and the sails were torn down, and it was ready to go under. And all this is coming by a divine revelation, Him just quickening everything to me. It was just glorious in His presence watching this.
And that the devil said, “I’ll sink this ministry, there’ll be no outpouring of the Holy Ghost. There’ll be no Bride of Christ, I’ll sink this vessel and I’ll drown every bit of this ministry.” And Oh, the waves went up and over and tore down the mask and it was terrible and the boat was watered log. And about that time when all hope look like was gone, about like it is now, so many interpretations so many of this and so much of that, so much of God today. And it looks like it’ll never come out, what God has predestinated for this hour. And it looks like the ole boat is about water logged AND READY TO SINK. BUT ABOUT THAT TIME, come one walking on the water. And I looked out there and that boat was ready to go down with so many different interpretations and so many deceptions of the devil, and the waves are roaring and the boat was going under and I looked out, and there was the Lord Jesus come walking on the water and as He did, a pulsation down in a little preacher’s heart there on the boat begin to leap out. And he said, they all cried out and said, “It’s a spirit that ain’t the Lord.” (Brother Lambert falls into the anointing of the Lord, weeping as he tells his experience.)
That’s about like it is now. And Peter looked out and he believed it was God though. He believed that was God walking on the water, AND HE CRIED OUT AND SAID, “LORD, IF THAT BE THEE BID ME TO COME TO THEE LORD AND LET ME WALK ON THIS WATER.” AND OUT OF THE BOAT Peter came! But I was coming with him brother. I was coming out of that boat with him. OUT OF THAT BOAT WE CAME. I DID NOT CARE WHAT ANY MINISTERS SAID IN THAT BOAT. I DID NOT CARE WHAT THEY SAID BROTHER, it passed in the background to me. I COME OUT OF THAT BOAT. I STEPPED DOWN OFF OF THAT WATER LOGGED BOAT and I got on them white caps, and I begin to walk, AND I’LL KEEP MY EYES UPON YOU, JESUS! I’LL KEEP MY EYES ON YOU LORD NO MATTER WHAT ANYBODY SAYS!
I walked that straight line, and I walked on them waves. And then I begin to hear them different interpretations of the message. I begin to hear this preaching, that saw this vision, and heard this Voice and God said this and God said that and I begin to sink with Peter. I began to sink. AND IT LOOKED LIKE I WAS GONNA DROWN, AND THE BOAT WAS GOING DOWN AND EVERYTHING WAS LOST. AND THEN I REALIZED I HAD TO GET MY EYES OFF THE WATER, I HAD TO GET MY EYES OFF OF THE STORMS OF THE DEVIL THAT WAS TRYING TO SINK ME AND DROWN ME. PRAISE GOD.
AND I LOOKED UP AND I SAW JESUS. AND I SAID, “SAVE ME LORD, LET ME BELIEVE YOU!” Peter and I heard that great Voice, and He stretched forth His hand and I got my eyes on Jesus. I come up out of them waves again. And I walked on the water and we walked back in the boat, and the waves become calm and the storm ceased.
And there my pillow wet with tears, I said, “Jesus I am sorry that men are in a delusion Lord, I can’t help it, but I got to believe you, Lord. I CANNOT GO THIS WAY, it’s too deceiving. Oh, friend let me tell you tonight, THAT MANY ARE CALLED BUT ONLY A FEW ARE CHOSEN TO GO INTO THAT BRIDE!
THE DELUSION AND THE DECEPTION OF THE DEVIL IS SO GREAT, THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO MAKE IT IS TO KEEP YOUR EYES UPON JESUS. The whole denominational church world, Pentecostals and all is going right into the world government, and then a little group that stays with this Word is going to have to die. Men and women right here if we don’t go in the rapture, we’re gonna have to shed our blood for what we believe.
But with tears dripping down my face and on my pillow. I said, “Jesus, I am gonna believe you Lord. I am gonna believe you. If I listen and believe everything that I hear I’ll sink Lord.” Now I said, “I’ve got to believe you and I promise you Lord” Oh, then the peace of God swept my soul, not knowing it. I didn’t tell my wife about it. Now I said, “Lord make it sure to me, clear to me.” And just the other night. Now my wife, usually when the spirit comes in, it’ll waken her immediately. I’ve been a time and lived in people’s homes, and He ‘d pay me a visit, and He’d wake up people in the other bedrooms and they’d start speaking in tongues. Filled the house full of presence of God, they’d speak in tongues, way in the other bedrooms. But this time, usually when he comes my wife scares her so bad, she grabs a hold of my arm with a death grip, and she just shakes all over, she’s so scared. She fears the Lord, and she reverences the Lord’s presence. And not one time has it ever failed what He said to me friends. And not realizing it, I kinda of forgot about it for a few days.
And then something happened again just the other day. This time the Holy Spirit came to my room, woke my wife, and didn’t wake me. And God spoke out of my mouth and talked and me sound asleep. I can’t tell you what he said. It scared her so bad, she wanted to wake me up, but she thought she better not. And she laid there till day light and said that over and over and over again what God had just said. His presence stayed right in the room.
And she said if only she had put a pencil beside the bed, that she could of wrote it down. So, there she wrote it over and over in her mind so she wouldn’t forget it. And then she told it to me. And so help me, it’s the same thing that the Lord told me in 1958. She don’t know those things, and she didn’t know that was said that I just said related this to you about Peter and what those men had said. Now here it come right out.
Now dearly beloved you know that Elijah’s ministry, Malachi 4 and 5, has been gone now over three years. And you know the one world government and the one world church is getting ready to put on the pressure. You see what happened here this morning, supernatural God, that I asked him to let that happen, and it happened. You know that God is trying to get you ready to receive this great outpouring of the Holy Spirit; to seal you into the body of Christ.
You believe that? Now there’re many other things, that’s personal that I couldn’t tell you, but those few little things. I believe with all of my heart, as I see God moving in my own life, and dealing with me, calling me to the closer walk then I’ve never known before. And I see that’ve got to press on into this something. You see. I know it’s there, see? I did not seek, it come there.
Something is getting ready to take place. I believe what it is; it’s the last move of God on the earth. And I believe that it’s going to be judgment to the house of God, wrath to the unbelievers and to the ungodly, but grace to those that have received the true message of God. I believe with all of my heart that its going to be judgment to the house of God wrath to the unbelievers and the ungodly but Grace to those that have received the true message of God. I believe with all my heart that Judgement is gonna strike the church of Jesus Christ, not to the Bride. But no longer will the uncircumcised be able to sit among the body of Christ. God is going to circumcise every carnal thought away from the true Bride. He’s gonna purpose that He’s gonna have a Bride without spot or wrinkle or blemish.
I believe with all of my heart that the days of Ananias and Sapphire is ready to return again. How many believe that? First thing that I asked, Elijah of this day, Brother Branham, I asked him “Was that to return right before the coming of the Lord, where God will sift out from among the elected to have a real pure church?” I knew it had to be done in order to have a purity that they had on the day of Pentecost. You cannot have the purity of the moving of the Holy Ghost and have unconverted and unclean spirit sitting among you. So therefore, I believe with all of my heart that God has got to find a few empty vessels right away to get into His fullness. And I believe it’s gonna start a revival among the body of Christ.
Now I disagree with all the theologians and the ministers that there is gonna be a mighty revival among the denominations. That’s unscriptural as can be. Jesus Christ has been spewed out from the mouth of…. the people have been spewed out of the mouth of Jesus Christ in this Laodicean Church Age.
God is dealing with a true Bride now. The true Bride of Christ has never had a revival, but she’s ready to receive one. You bare me record and write it down in your Bible, that it won’t be too many days hence until there’ll be the mightiest outpouring of the Holy Ghost that the worlds ever seen. You believe that?
Now after, what happened this morning… if we’ve ever got close to the Lord, you move up as close as you can, for surely something is getting ready to take place. God’s calling me to a much closer walk. Now I tried my best, I think I walk as close to the Lord as I can, but somehow, I’m not where I ought to be. There’s something that I need, so I want to go away and seek the Lord. Just to go off of myself, not to have to a…I’ve fed you good and I think your good and fat in the spirit, and your inner man, so I want to go away and I want see if I can hear from the Lord. And just get off and rest and meditate upon the Lord, because now I know with all my heart that it’s God.
Now children you know, that if I couldn’t find it in the Word of God these things you see I wouldn’t believe it. But it’s there, it’s there and God is going to bless His people like you could never dream of. Creative power of God is going to be let loose. We’re way up the road from laying hands on the sick. When God moves this time, it’s gonna be the creative Word of God. It’s gonna shake this ole scientific mind. God, the creator, that created a ram for Abraham, is gonna create arms and legs and eyes, and missing limbs back upon His people. And it’s such a great thing that the Lord is gonna do. That we can’t afford not to be ready for it, can we?
Say what you will, and it’ll be done. How many believes the scriptures? How many believe the Bible is inspired, every bit of it? Did not Jesus say, “If you say to this mountain, be thou removed be thou cast into the sea, and not doubt in your heart what you said, you can have what you said.”
Mark 11:23-24-Reference quote:
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Matthew 21:20-Reference quote:
20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
Did He say, why marvel ye at the fig tree! Huh! For you can curse the fig tree. And he said, “You can do greater things than curse the fig tree, you can even move a mountain. What is that? He said, YOU SAY! Now you just say it and I’ll perform it. See, we’ve never had nothing like that in the world. Now this is exactly the ministry that The Lord revealed to me that would be here at the time of the rapture of the church. Now I say this tonight, why? Because I believe we’re right up to something has got to happen. The Bride can’t stay here too much longer. You know that? It’s got to happen!
So, I’ll probably never say those things again, but I thought that I’d just share a few these things about me. Do you see what a terrible place I’m in. Oh, my brethren, that put thumbs down on me and say, “I am a heretic.” If I am, I’m in awful bad shape. Cause I see…I’ve never had a man yet come to me that could show me in the Bible though, see. It’s easy to say a man is a heretic, and is all messed up. But it’s another thing to come bring your Bible and show it to me in the Word. Bring it in a good spirit brother, but just show it in the Bible though. It’s not there. The Word of God don’t lie. It’s line upon line precept upon precept.
Isaiah 28:10-Reference quote:
10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
Dearly beloved, God is ready to pour out his wrath. You see what happened in California? See all those tornados in Mississippi? You watch it be intensified in 1969. God is gonna shake this world brother just like people blowing their brains out left and right. They don’t even put it in the paper. Men and women are blowing their brains out left and right because of the fear that’s coming upon them. The Bible said, “When man see these things happen in that day, men’s hearts will fail with fear.” And they’re doing it. People are scared to death.
Luke 21:26-Reference quote:
26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
The governments are scared to death. That’s why they got to have a one world government. Their churches are scared. They know that they’re backslidden. They know that the denominations are not of God, so they’ve got to have a World Council of Churches. And what are they gonna do? They’re gonna persecute the true Bride of Christ. Now I ask you, where is the way that’s evil spoken of?
2 Peter 2:2-Reference quote:
2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
Is it the Trinitarian or Pentecostal people? Is it the Jesus Name Pentecostal people? Is it the Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterians and Catholics? How come the World Council of Churches hasn’t raked anybody over the coals, but this group right here? Why is it the world Council of Churches hate this message that I’m preaching so bad? Why? Why don’t they hate the Jesus Name Pentecostals message? Think of it; think of it. That’s something to think of. The Bible said that men of reprobate mind who speak evil concerning the way of truth. Men of reprobate minds speak evil of the way of truth. Now where is that way of truth?
2 Timothy 3:7-9-Reference quote:
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
Romans 1:28-Reference quote:
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Where is it? Is it the Jesus Name Denomination? Is it the Assemblies of God denomination with their multimillions? How come that the World Council of Churches say that they’re gonna kill us? How come they vent out their anger on us? They say, “They know every meeting we hold. They know every book we send out, and everything else.” Why do they want to persecute us? Everything we preach is in the Bible.
I believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ. Ninety- five percent of all denominational preachers don’t believe it. Now who’s right? I believe in the blood of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. I believe that the correct form of water baptism is the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe in a second coming of Jesus Christ. I believe that there’s a natural vine, and a spiritual vine. I believe that there’s an ungodly line that come out of Cain, and a Godly line that came out of Adam through Seth. You can call it anything you want it. I call it predestination because God by foreknowledge knows who’s evil, and who are the good children. Who’s the children of darkness, and who’s the children of light!
Now the Bible says that the children of darkness is gonna persecute the children of light in this hour. Brother everybody says, I’m a Christian, but the devil is gonna force you to stand up on your conviction and prove it to this world… who is a Christian and who is not. The Bible said that all that dwelleth upon the earth shall be deceived by the mark of the beast. And the Bible said, there was a beast that come up out of the Revelation 13, that gave power to the rest of the world to form an image to the beast.
Revelation 13:14,15-Reference quote:
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Who’s that? It’s none other than United States of America. Even Mr. Nixon himself, which I believe is a fine man, God bless him. But he’s fulfilling the scriptures right before our eyes. Their gonna unite…America is the fore leader and is gonna unite the world into making an image unto the Catholic Church which is the World Council of Churches. They’re gonna have one world religion and one world government. And then brothers and sisters I tell you, the true Bride of Christ will be brought together, and God will seal them in together, by the love of the Holy Ghost. And there’ll raise up a mighty church of God.
The very mechanics for this thing is working right now. Their clamoring and working as hard as they can go to have a one world government. The Bible said and when they, United States and the rest of the governments of this world, when they say, “Peace, peace” then sudden destruction. How many believe God’s Word? Brother and sister, we are living on a brink of one of the worst persecutions that ever struck the world.
Brother and sister, I don’t believe the Bride of Jesus Christ is gonna go through great tribulation. But I believe the love of Jesus Christ, that He loves that little Bride. He’s gonna carry Her out of here by the out resurrection, which is the rapture. There’s is no scripture in the Bible for rapture, just the word ‘Rapture’ but I liken it… We say rapture, but what we mean is that, there is a real Bride of Christ that’s living on the earth in this hour that we’re living in. THE POWER OF THE HOLY GHOST IS GONNA TAKE HER OUT OF HERE WITH POWER. HALLELUJAH! I BELIEVE THAT GOD’S COMING WITH SUCH POWER THAT THE WORLD IS GONNA HAVE TO RECOGNIZE WHO THE BRIDE IS.
I believe that the Jews is even gonna recognize it when He comes in power after the Gentile Bride. I believe that this Laodicea Church world is in an apostate condition. And I believe that God says there’s only one thing for an apostasy, and that is to be destroyed by the wrath of God almighty. Any denomination…as a brother said, “Well, Brother Lambert, what do you believe about our denomination? What do you think we are?” I said, “Well I don’t wanna hurt you brother, I will just make it real short and quick. I believe there is a devil. What do you think about it? If you’re honest, you’ll believe it is too.”
Anybody that reads the Bible, knows that denominationalism is of the devil. Huh! I’m ready to die for what I’m preaching. I don’t fear death; I just fear pleasing the Lord Jesus. The best thing that could happen to the Bride of Christ, is that the Jesus Name people, and the Assembly of God people, all the Pentecostals could turn against us like a bunch of mad dogs. You believe their gonna do it? Pentecostals are going be the ones that’s gonna string you up, most of all. Huh! If the Pentecostals go on the way they’re going on now, they’ll be in worst shape in fifty years from now they’ll be worse shape than the Catholics ever been two thousand years, to get the way they are now. The Pentecostals will be in worst shape. Huh! Sure, they will.
Oh, brother, but all that dwells upon the earth in the last generation, the Bible says, shall be deceived and shall worship the image of the beast. For the image of this beast in Revelation 13 gave power, gave power unto the image of the beast that it should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the beast huh, would not worship the image, would be persecuted, hunted down like a bunch of dogs, martyred, sawed asunder. Huh! Sure, it did! And where they doing it? Sure! You read it right in your newspapers; they’re forming the very thing that the Bible said that they’d do.
America in Revelation 13, she had 13 colonies, 13 stripes to the flag, everything was 13. Is that right? She’s a women’s nation, Statue of liberty is a woman. Is that right? She’s number thirteen, and when the Pope came to America, he walked up how many steps? Thirteen.
But oh, but blessed are all those that had their names written in the lamb’s book of life. All that dwells upon the earth shall worship the beast and its image, except those who have their names written in the lamb’s book of life slain from the foundation of the world.
God said to all, he that has wisdom, Revelation 17, let him count the number of his name, for his number is six hundred and sixty six, 666 (Latin –Vicarius Filii dei) wrote out in roman numeral numbers is 666 which is the Pope himself, the man of sin was right in New York City.
Revelation 13:18-Reference quote:
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
The Rome newspapers you read, the world government said, “That we’re gonna have a one world government, we got to have one honest man over the whole thing that we can trust. Well, who is more trustworthy, as the Pope himself? He’s the…He’s the very man for the job.
And the people are going to fall for it hook line and sinker, especially after America goes bankrupt any day. Yeah. I said bankrupt. Oh, that’s hard to take ain’t it. It’s gonna happen anyway. And who’s gonna be your great savior? Who’s gonna be your great savior the Bible said? The Pope! And what’s he gonna do, Pentecostals? Because you don’t know the Word of God, and you won’t line up with it, you’re gonna accept that thing. Because you ain’t gonna have no car to drive, you ain’t gonna have no house to live in. You ain’t not gonna have no job to go to because the Bible said, “Who is able to make war with the beast and its image?” Who is it that’s able to do it? How can you make war with it when even Russia’s behind it? How are you gonna make war with it when even America’s behind it? How can you make war with it when even Red China is behind it? Who can make war with this man of sin? Nobody!
The ten horns that is upon the beast gave their power unto the man of sin that he might rule and reign for three and a half years. Huh! Ole Moses and Elijah layeth to him and in them three years. We’ll give it to him while were here though. How many say Amen? I’d like to preach that to the pope himself. Huh! I thank God for Theodore Teddy Roosevelt. He wouldn’t kiss the pope’s toe. And I won’t either. I don’t care if he even promised me my car back, and my house, I still won’t kiss his toe. If I did anything I’d bite his toe! And tell him to repent! That’s what I think of it. Why? Because the Bible said, he was Judas. The Bible said he was Judas! Is, that right? And they’re gonna bow down and kiss his toe because he saved them from their mortgage payments. Oh yeah, you say, you are out of the scriptures. I am right in them brother, sister you better read them. Is that right? Oh, where is the way that’s evil spoken of? Huh! Is it the Jesus Name, Pentecostals, Assembly of God? Where’s it at? You better find it out boy, because everybody that don’t find it out is gonna be cast in the lake of fire that burns forever and ever. Now everybody that dwells on the earth is gonna receive the mark of the beast or you cannot buy or sell. You can’t to go down the store and buy no food and you cannot sell nothing to make any money to get it with.
But all you got to have is a mark. Oh, my. And they’re setting up a world bank now, you don’t have to have cash no more, you just got to have a number. How many been reading about it in the paper? Sure, I read about it and cut them out and put them in my office. Why? Because the Bible said that God was gonna let this thing come upon you to try every man that’s upon the face of the earth. And your either gonna take God’s way, or you’re gonna take the way with the World Council of Churches, or you can’t work, buy, sell, or do anything.
What’s gonna happen to the true Bride of Christ then brother? You’re gonna be drove together with it or your gonna be put in the other thing.
But I’m so glad, that it’s written in the Word of God, Revelation 13:8 and Revelation 17:8, it said, “All those that had their names in the book of life, they are not gonna worship that thing.”
Revelation 13:8-Reference quote:
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Revelation 17:8-Reference quote:
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
Now here is the patience and the Faith of the saints. Oh, I just praise God. Let it come! I would like to tell the Pope, “What thou has to do, do quickly.”
Let this thing come, even so Lord Jesus, come. A lot of people’s afraid to talk like that because they ain’t ready to go. They’re scared the Lord’s gonna come. Well, I want him to come. I want out of this putrefying mess here. Brother if there ain’t no more to life than this, it’s ain’t worth getting up and gettin dressed for in the morning. BUT OH, THERE’S AN ETERNAL KINGDOM THAT’S READY TO BE SET UP World without an end, ruled over by Jesus Christ and the saints of the most-high God, shall take the kingdoms of this world! Yes, sir! That’s the Kingdom that I want in, brother. A stone that was cut out of the mountain is gonna strike the image of the beast and smote it right in its feet.
I thank God, that I see the Word of God, that I ain’t gonna sell out my birthright. What’s your birthright? I ain’t gonna sell that token out for a mess of potage. They can have that house that I’m living in, and everything else too, I don’t believe we need that all anyway. Huh! I believe that a little fire of the Holy Ghost will keep us warm if we ain’t got no oil. I’d rather have a Holy Ghost heat anyway. I don’t care if I can’t get to the bakery. I’d rather have angel’s food anyway. Oh yeah, don’t tell me, God is still God. If God sent the ravens, crows unclean birds, IF GOD COULD USE CROWS AND UNCLEAN BIRDS TO FEED A FAITHFUL CHRISTIAN THAT STAYED WITH THE WORD OF GOD LIKE ELIJAH. HE’S ABLE TO FEED ME, FOR HIS EYES ARE ON THE SPARROW AND I KNOW HE WATCHES ME.
Amen, He fed him fresh angel food from heaven in morning and in evening. Well I don’t care much about dinner anyway. It was so good probably he didn’t need no dinner. But He fed him angel food in the morning and in the evening a drink of cool water from the Brook Cherith, and he felt the Holy Ghost moving all over that mountain. My Lord, where was everybody else? They were swallowed up by the World Council of Churches, sitting down there at Jezebel’s table, eating of the filth and muck of the World Council of the Churches, that’s where they was at!
Now where was your organizations there, if you are in one? Where was you at there? Every organization was at Jezebel’s table. But where was the true church at? On the mountain brother! Huh! Sure, it was. I’m glad I come out of that dirty thing. And I’ll die before I’ll go back in one. Any man that’s carrying around ministerial papers in his pocket has got the mark of the beast already. And anybody sittin in a denomination, if you got a mind to get out of it, you better get out quick because they ain’t gonna come around brother and send the state police over your house with a big stamp to mark it on your our forehead – number 666. Brother come off of that.
But everybody that gives that World Council of Churches that said, they had a mark in their hand, is that right? And in the forehead. Where do you receive the doctrine at? It’s in the forehead, isn’t it? And what do you do then? Why sure, I think this is a wonderful thing. Like a big business man here in town was talking to me in my home. He said Oh he was late for my appointment Mr. Lambert, oh we were very busy this morning uniting are two churches together, He said, “Isn’t that wonderful? We’re having a little trouble with a few ole squawky people there.” Said, “They gave us a hard time.” I thought, boy they must be children of God. He said, “don’t you think that’s wonderful?”
And I thought, Oh God let me hold my peace. He said, “Don’t you think that’s wonderful Reverend Lambert?” I went on and I wouldn’t answer him. He stuck out his head like that. “Don’t you think that’s wonderful?” I said, “Now Sir, do you really want me to answer?” I said, “If it don’t offend yeah.” I said, “I think you just fulfilled the words of Jesus Christ. He looked down 2,000 years ago and saw you say that and put it in his Bible. He said that you’d do the very thing that you told you just done me you done.”
And I said, “Sir, I would rather see my wife and my children and myself with our heads cut off then to do what you just done. That’s what I think about it. Why? Because God said, whether you believe it or not, He said he would cast you in a lake of fire and burn you forever and forever. And your smoke would descend up before Him and His holy angels forever and forever. He would never forgive you! Now what do you think about that?” Boy, he swallowed hard, And I poured the gospel to him as hard as I could pour it. He said, “That’s the truth.”
Well, when I got through I put my arm around him and said you’re a lovely person. “Now you know what is the truth.” He said. I said, “Now what are you gonna do about it?” He said, “Well, there you go Mr. Lambert, you see well I’m too busy, making money and everything.” I said, “See.” I said, “Well, one day sir, you will weep and wail and gnash your teeth and wish you had done something about it.”
WELL, WHAT IS IT BROTHERS AND SISTERS THIS THING THAT I AM TALKING IS RIGHT AT THE DOOR, IT’S EVEN AT THE DOOR. Oh, I am so thankful to God that I see that in the Word of God, I don’t know what to do. I’m thankful to God. While Priscilla comes to the piano.
Oh, don’t you love him? He is gonna have a people who’s called by His name. He’s gonna have a real Bride without spot, wrinkle or blemish. We don’t claim to be the Bride of Christ. Don’t get me wrong, I am not claiming to be the body of Jesus Christ, I’m preaching the gospel. I pray to God that I have a part in that Bride that’s gonna be.
There’s gonna be a real Bride, one without spot, wrinkle or blemish. Have real prophets in it, real apostles, real pastors, the real gifts of the Holy Spirit, the real power of God. She’ll show great signs and wonders and miracles, do great mighty things. But brother, there ain’t nobody going be in that, that isn’t born of the unadulterated Word of God. It’s gonna be Word clear through all the way.
With our heads bowed while sister Priscilla plays. I don’t believe there’s much time left.
You see how the world’s decaying the worlds falling apart. They’re clamoring hard for this one world government. It could be that this nice man Mr. Nixon, nice as he is, maybe used to usher in this one world government-one world church. His whole theme of his presidency is to unite the people, unite the people. Unite the people. It’s uniting time saints. It’s time for the real Bride to unite with the head stone, Jesus Christ. This is the time; in that day where he said, “As I am in the Father and the Father in me and I in you and you in me.” “And, The works that I do shall you do also and greater works than these shall you do.”
John 14:20-Reference quote:
20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
John 14:12-Reference quote:
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
Oh, dearly beloved tonight? If you are in one of them denominational bird cages, bound up by the traditions of man, why don’t you lose that thing and find the truth? Why don’t you get down on your knees and look in the Bible and see the things that we haven’t told you is and has been happening in the earth today is happening now.
While I pray, may God burn it down in your heart. Don’t you know and realize that Jesus Christ is ready to come to his Bride. There’s gonna be an out resurrection from among the dead, and only those that are wise and prayed up and filled with the spirit is gonna go in.
Let us pray. Is there a one that would raise their hands, and say, “Brother Bob, I’d like to know where the Bride is. I’d like to find the true people of God. I’d like to find that group in the Bible that’s evil spoken of, that’s gonna to be persecuted, that won’t have nothing to do with denomination, that’s outside of the leaders the rulership of the denominations, but is being led by the spirit of God. Do you want to raise your hands and say, “Brother Bob pray for me, I want to find that truth one, I want to find that truth! I want to find that place.”
Brother Lambert prays;
Dear heavenly father, God we praise you for thy word Lord. We thank you for this service this morning, thank you for the service tonight. Lord truly we know that thou hast visited the earth with a mighty prophet, and Lord we thank you that you promised a prophet in this hour. Now we’re looking Lord for Jesus Christ to come on the scene in his fullness, the kingdom of heaven has come. Dear heavenly father, we’re looking for it to come upon us anytime. And dear God, we thank you that there was a stone hewed out of the mountain that smote the image in his feet.
Dear God, how I pray that we’ll remember this day, though we may never speak of these things again, personal things like tonight. But God I pray that you’d help each one of these my precious friends here tonight that have prayed for me. That I’d be led by your Holy Spirit. I believe with all my heart Lord; something has got to happen soon. There’s something that’s got to be done. You’ve got to help your bride Lord. For God she’s got to be stirred.
Lord something’s got to take place to completely get her where she ought to be. So, Lord I pray, God I believe that this little group here that we could have a little part in that and we wanna lay down our lives for our brethren, Lord. We want to bare in our body the dying of the Lord Jesus that his life might be made manifested in us. God there’s so many groups that’s trying to play church. But Lord help us to have a church.
A Bride, a body Lord, a real church apostolic, like they had on the day of Pentecost that’s lead by the Holy Spirit, that done great signs, wonders and miracles Lord. That’s what we wanna be in father. I pray that you’ll bless each one tonight. And God those things that I said, I pray that people weigh them out, and may it work upon their heart. Now father we pray and ask these things in Jesus name, Amen.
(Brother Lambert singing the song: I Love Him)
What do we have here tonight? Catholic’s? Come out. Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterians, Pentecostal, United Brethren, little of everything. Do you know what a church is? What is a church? Called out, called out of what? Called out of denominations. Huh! That’s the Bride. A Bride taken out. Huh! Sure. Jesus said, “Come out,” and then, “Come in”.You’ve got to come out before you can come in to what God’s got today. Is that right? You say, “I’ll just stay in here!” No, you won’t either. I want you to look in the Bible and tell me where the resurrection took place down in Egypt? No sir. They took old Isaac, Abraham, Joseph, and Jacob, and all the rest of them, and Sarah and Rebecca, and all the prophets, carried them across the Jordan and buried them in Palestine. Amen, the promised land. There ain’t gonna be no resurrection down there in Egypt. Boy, don’t you worry about that. That resurrection is gonna to be across the Jorden. Oh, my I’d like to preach on that right now. I’d like to bring them bones out of Egypt and put them over there for the resurrection that’s ready to set it.
I believe that this day that we’re livin in, we’re going receive such an outpouring of the Holy Ghost that’s gonna suck the dead from the graves. Amen! Oh, you say, “that you’re just a little holy roller group! That’s right! Little in number, but brother we’re in the minority now, we are in the minority now, just a little bunch here and yonder. But we’re gonna be in the majority in just a little bit. Because it’s gonna be six thousand ages of prophets, saints of God that walk through the fire, Ole Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. Ole Daniel that was thrown into the lion’s den by that council of churches. Huh! Ole Elijah that was took away on a fiery chariot. Huh! Oh amen! It was Paul that said, “Oh, death where is your sting.” And they picked his head up and threw it in an old bushel basket down in Rome.
Brother we’re in minority now, but brother my brethren are coming up to give me help in a little bit. GLORY TO GOD! HALLELUJAH! Amen. This apostolic way is the only true way. Amen! My God! Amen! You know, I’m gonna need a little help. The Bible said, he had ministering angels to minister to the heirs of the Token.
Hebrews 1:14-Reference quote:
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
And their gonna need a little help so Gods gonna give us some help because the pressure is gonna be so tough from the world government and the World Council of Churches, and the devil himself. You know three coils…take a rope and wrap it three ways it’s hard to break. And you take the world council of church backed up by the world government, civil power, and their backed up by ecclesiastical power, boy you ain’t never had nothing a hold of you till you get a PHD ahold of yeah. He’ll kill yeah in a minute. That’s what killed Jesus.
And you got a civil power that’s after you like a bunch of mad dogs. And then you got a ecclesiastical power after yeah. Then on top of that you have got all the demons that’s ever been loosed from hell after you. Your gonna need some help! That’s why God’s gonna fill you so full of the Holy Ghost brother until YOU’RE GONNA LEAP ON TOP OF THE MOUNTAINS AND COME in at the windows. Hallelujah! Amen, you’ll skip like little rams over top of them things. And there won’t be a hair of your head harmed. Just when they think they’re gonna martyr you, there’s gonna be One that slips in that had his picture taken the day the pillar of fire and He’s gonna loose chains from your feet and YOU’RE GONNA COME OUT OF THE JAIL HOUSE PRAISING GOD.
Oh yeah, they’re gonna throw you in there. BUT THIS GOSPEL SHALL BE PREACHED INTO ALL THE WORLD FOR A WITNESS AGAINST THE UNGODLY AND THE DENOMINATIONAL CHURCH WORLD, and then that rapture will take place. Oh, I don’t know, I got so much I’d like to say and don’t have time to say it tonight. Don’t you love this gospel though? Oh, it gives you the answer, it’s got it all right there. People have to look, have to wait for the newspaper to come out every morning to find out what’s gonna happen. Why Brother, I looked in here (Brother Lambert holds up his Bible) and told these people here what’s gonna happen years ago, before the paper come out. And the great big educated PHD, LLD, school teachers, scientists have got to wait till the newspaper comes out to find out what happened!
And a little ole ignoramus saints, holy rollers they call us, get down on their knees, and fast and pray and look in there and God tells them everything that is going to happen before it ever happens. Now who’s the smartest now? Jesus! That wisdom will count the number of his name. How many counted the number of his name? Well, you count it. Amen. And when you count it, you better get out of it. Amen! And were gonna be in the majority in a little bit. How many is anxious to see ole Elijah? How many is anxious to see the Apostle Paul and all the other saints. Why, brother, I am not talking about some fairytale off somewhere!
I’m talking about what the Bible said that’s gonna be here today, there’s gonna be a rapture of the church of Jesus Christ. The dead is gonna come forth from the graves. You know when they crucified Jesus, He cried with a loud voice and the Bible said, HE DESCENDED FROM THE HEAVEN WITH A SHOUT, WITH A LOUD VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL. AND BROTHER, THE VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL IS GETTING READY TO SOUND. AND GOD IS GOING TO RAISE ALL THE CHURCH AGES FROM THE DEAD. And they’re going to appear unto many!
Oh boy, they’re gonna appear unto the Bride. You talk about being the majority. Well we’ll outnumber the Catholics and everybody, sister Priscilla. Well, how many you recon died all back through there? Can’t even count them there’s so many. A multitude which no man could number. Huh! Oh, my! We’re gonna be in the majority then. You won’t feel so lonesome then will yeah? You’ll feel awfully good when you see Apostle Paul saddle up beside of yeah. “Say now Bob don’t worry about it, they say that their gonna martyr you. But now, this is what’s gonna happen, about the time they get ready to do it, I’m gonna hit them with the power of God and knock them about thirty feet.” Said, “Do you remember how I did when they came after ole Polycarp, ole Martin?” “Oh yeah! Oh yeah!” Paul said, “Now this is the way it’s gonna be now. When they come after old Martin, one of them holy rollers, he wouldn’t bow down to the World Council of Churches that day. Oh, it’s still the same thing, same old spirit! Come down after that little ole man of God staying with the Word of God.
Oh boy. Come down there and said, “Martin! Come on out and give yourself up!” And he had a ole cloak on, big ole long cloak on. He walked out there. That old PHD with his big sword, from the big headquarters of the denomination, pulled out his big sword. Swish! “Martin”, he said, “We come to kill you because of this Faith, we told you to quit preaching it were gonna martyr you! He said, you have? He stuck his neck out there, here it is, CUT IT OFF! And that soldier said, “Alright!” He drawled back and made a swipe and the power of God hit and knocked him about fifteen feet. He crawled back and all the solders with him repenting and crying asking for God to have mercy on them.
I just rejoiced to see that day come. Awe, that’s when the Bride will blossom then. Listen brother, they couldn’t burn it out, they couldn’t drown in out, they tried to drown it out of ole John. They said, “We’ll get it out of him boys. We’ll get that ole Faith out of him. Put him down in that that boiling pot there filled with that oil. We’ll get it out of him! Brother, the next morning he was just as strong as he ever was. He had One standing beside him. And they lowered him down in that boiling pot, they thought it would just singe your feet right off soon as he hit it. Let him down to his ankles and he said, “Thank you Lord!” Put him down to his knees and he said, “Thank you Lord!” Put him down to his waist and he said, “Oh, praise God, this feels good!” Put him on down to his neck and the oil just a boiling! John was just having a holy ghost time in there and it wasn’t bothering him at all. They said, get him out of there, there’s something mysterious about that! He’s a witch… he’ll curse us all! Said, Put him over there on the Isle of Patmos.
Then ole John wrote me a letter you know he said, “Bother Bob your Brother John on the Isle of Patmos for the Word of God’s sake, and for the testimony of Jesus.” Huh! Now the Bible said, there cometh a day when they’ll do that to the Bride. Then in that day you’re gonna find out what you got! How many say, even so let it come Lord Jesus. Brother, the more they poured it on that early Bride, the hotter they got with the Power of God. Huh! The more they pour it on, the more miracles they done. The more they threatened them, the greater the blessing they got.
Oh my, I don’t want to talk to you all night. I just want it to this happen so bad I can’t hardly stand it! You brother…Amen. Let’s sing another hymn and be dismissed. ‘Only believe’ It’s not even midnight yet! We just got out of here this morning (at 1:30 in the afternoon.)
(Brother Lambert and the congregation singing the song, ‘Only believe’)
Let’s stand to our feet. (Continues to sing) Yes, Lord, we thank you, thank you Lord God. It’s so wonderful to know that Jesus is with His Word. You walk with the Word, then Jesus is walking with you. And then this terrible hour that is ready to come upon us, Jesus in the darkest, darkest time in six thousand years of history, Jesus is gonna be with his Bride. Brother Shaw, I just love this. I don’t like to turn the service loose, this is joy to me. I just like to stay here all the time – till God pours out a revival. Little brethren have to get up in the morning and go to work. Sisters many of you working trying to help daddy pay the bills. I know it’s hard.
But he that endureth to the end of this thing, the same shall be saved. God has given us one of the greatest not one, this is the greatest hour to be living in, to be used of God. Bear me record that God is gonna fill empty vessels very soon. And the world is gonna here directly from Pentecost. Now if….See! Just wait and see if it don’t happen. Just write it down and bare it record. God is gonna fill some empty vessel, and this world is going to hear directly from Pentecost once again. But it’ll be too late to make it right, partner. He’s gonna take that on home, and pour out his wrath on everything else. So, brothers and sisters I ain’t trying to scare you, but if you ever counted the number of the names of the denominations you better count it today brother, it’s weighed in the balances and found wanting, and you’d better find out where light is, and get to it quickly! Let us bow our heads.
God bless you for being patience and being such a wonderful little audience. I’m going to be praying for you all week long, as I wait upon the Lord in the night and in the day. I gonna be praying for you. Pray brother.
(A brother prays)
Bless that prayer Father. Remember our prayer chain saints. The Jewish prayer hour, keep it revived and revitalized and stay with it. Nine o’clock, twelve o’clock, and three o’clock. Every time that clock hand comes around to those hours if you possible can bow your head and pray. If you’re working bow your head and pray. If you’re driving along the side of road if you can, if there is a way that you can do it, pull off to the side of the road and ask God to bless the Bride. And those that are home at that hours, you mamma’s keeping house and can be sure when that hour comes. Oh, it’s the greatest thing. Without prayer you can do nothing. And just kneel momma, find that little place to kneel. Daddy, find that place to kneel. I’m sure if you look around your house, your barn, whatever you got on your premises. And you find a little place, and like the holy spirit asks you to do this morning. Anoint that little place in the name of the Lord, and bend your knees there, and watch God. Say, “I’m Right here God, right here is where I’m gonna meet you. Right here Lord, I want to find you. And I guarantee you, now you take it from me, I know from experience. Keep praying until you find Him. It may start out you won’t feel nothing! But say, “Devil I’m gonna get blessed, and you ain’t gonna keep me away from it. He’ll meet you! Then when you find that presence try to stay in it, and then life will be such a joy.
How many would like to have the joy of their salvation? Where it just flows out just bubbles out, see? Alright now see, that’s when you can have that, then you have a victorious prayer life. Stay in that prayer life and find His presence and you’ll have joy forever more. Now God bless you, and God bless our precious brothers that was with us tonight. Come back again brethren. If you heard anything! Like eaten cherry pie, if you found something…like eatin` Cherry pie and you hit a seed but you keep eaten the cheery pie and you get the seed throw`ed out. But just look it over real good to make sure it’s a seed. It’s like eaten chicken too, you know you like eat fried chicken, but when you hit the bone, you don’t throw the chicken away, just throw the bone away. So how many think it’s good throw the seed away and throw the bone away. And still you are our brothers and We love everybody. We’re trying to stick with the message we believe Gods give us. So, we don’t have much of a building here, this little old store front, that used to be the Durham cleaners. So, that’s what we try to do, everybody that comes in that front door, we try to take you to the cleaners. Not in your billfold now. No, no we don’t do that here, we never mention money. Has anybody ever heard me mention money, since I’ve been pastoring here in the last two years? No Sir! No! We just preach the gospel, and it’s without price. You just come, it’s free.
It’s free, aren’t you glad that the gospel is for free? Anybody that has to sell the gospel has got another gospel it’s not been given to you at all. So, God bless you. Let us sing this little song, maybe we’ll meet again Thursday night expecting the Lord pour out his spirit in a mighty way. We’ve had some wonderful outpourings of the Holy Spirit. But we can’t rest upon yesterday’s manna. We want a fresh experience this Thursday night. How many want a fresh experience with God? Alright pray, pound that devil in that prayer life. And press through like Jesus did in the Garden of Gethsemane, and find his presence. And say, not my will but thine be done. When Jesus found His presence. Before he found his presence, he said, “Lord if you can take this cup from me.” Now I don’t want to get into the God head discussion here. Humanity was praying to divinity, huh! He said, “Lord if it is possible, take this cup from me.”
Then he went back and tried to try to find his apostles, thinking they were praying with him found them sound asleep. That’s about where we are today. He went back and woke them up and said, “Could you not watch for 1 hour?” And he went back, and he prayed, he prayed more sincerely this time, Jesus did. Now brother if Jesus was God, he had to pray like that where you and I at? Huh! But he prayed, he prayed until he got the hold of the spirit and then he said, “Lord not my will but thine be done!” How many really like to say that, “Lord not my will but thine be done.” Thine be done Lord, thine be done.” Alright. Take this name with you now.
(Brother Lambert and the congregation sing the song ‘Take the name of Jesus with you’)
