No More Afflictions 

Start there at the first chapter, read just a little bit. How many of you know that when, in you mind that you seek fault against someone that that's Satan? How many of you know that? When in your mind you're trying to reason, you're trying to find a thought to establish you, your seeking to establish some kind of thought or feeling, or impulse, or reflex against somebody else to justify that thing in our mind; you know that's Satan. God is when you seek to justify a person. You're seeking to find the good in that person's life. That's God. See, God so loved us while we were yet in our sins, in spite of all that you see a person do, and all that they have done, you seek to find the good of that life, if it's nothing more than the fact that God created them a human being, God's act was good. Is that right? When He made a human being, and you seek to find the good that you can, that's the mind of Jesus, because Jesus so loved the world, that He loved us while we were yet in our sins, and was willing to die for us. Ah, it's like this story I heard concerning "The Hiding Place". They say that this woman that they beat her, beat her so unmerciful until she fell and ripped her back open, and the different places where they beat her, and as she fell down, she said, "Father", said, "Forgive them." Said, "They don't know what they're doing." See, in the love of God, she sought to find the good part about it, and her thoughts was, "Well, they just don't understand. And truthfully, that's right. They don't understand. The Bible said, "The righteous shall understand, the wicked shall not understand." They don't understand or they never would even as much as scold a Christian, let alone say anything about them, or think thoughts against them. But, the Bible said, "These are evil beasts, made to be taken and burned." And, they're speaking evil of dignities, and things that they don't know nothing about. Being vainly puffed up by their fleshly mind. Ah, thinking that they know something. When they don't know something as they ought to know, and so they speak evil of dignities and great powers, dignitaries, whereas, the Bible said, "Angel that are greater in power and might, dare not bring railing accusation against Satan, but just say, the Lord rebuke thee, Satan." They walk in places where others would not dare to tread, even angels. So then, I ah, I know that the love of God is when you do not seek to accuse people in your mind. When you do not seek to find fault with them in your thinking. But when you seek to try to find whatever good you can in them, to praise that good, and if they've got that good within them, and they're using that good for a pervented means, then you just say, "Well, and Satan quoted the Scripture, that was good." that was good. Whether the devil quotes, or whatever, the Scriptures are still good. Isn't that right? So then, that is good. The fact that God made Satan and angel that was upright, that was good. How many of you know that was good? God would not have done it, had it not been good, because God does not do any evil thing. That was good. But the fact that he fell to the level he did, that was not good. So then, we seek to justify God in all things. Wisdom is justified of her children, and if we are a child of understanding and of wisdom, ah, as our brother prophesied in the prophecy, I noticed it said to seek the wisdom of God, and finding the wisdom of Jesus Christ, if there are children that are born of wisdom, that are of wisdom, they will justify wisdom wherever they hear it, wherever it comes forth, they will be quick to take the defence of wisdom. The Bible said, "We are set for the defense of the gospel. (I wonder, if while you're up here, if you could get a little trebble on that thing? I get a little too much bass on it, not being acquainted with it, you know.) Now then, if you'll turn with us, (That's a lot better. Which one did you use to do that? Oh, yeah. Okay.) Now, I'm glad I've got somebody that knows something around here. It's hard to get these things together.) In the first Chapter, ah, let's read the first verse. (Here Bro. Pike reads the Scriptures.) Now, that's reading quite a bit here. I noticed a number of things here that would be outstanding if we just had time to bring them out, But I wanted to tie one or two things here in with a thought this morning. He will make an utter end. Affliction shall not rise up the second time. It tells us here that He will not let affliction come the second time. The thirteenth verse, "For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds asunder." Now, I want say some things this morning. I believe will be helpful to you, if you'll give me just a few minutes, and I'll try not to hold you long. I understand stand that they're going to have ah, the funeral at about three o'clock, is that three thirty, three o'clock? I never expected them to, to ah, bury him today. You know, they, they used to hold a person out quite a while, but ah, having been around the funeral home some, knowing the way that they do, they've got now to where they want to bury them immediately and ah, of course, they use the terms, "That's better for the loved ones, and everything else, and, "an that's their terms, because they're in it for money, and they want to get the body in the ground as quick as they can, and get their money. That's a business with them. I happen to know that for a fact, and that's why that they use the terms that they do. They just drill you into thinking they're doing it for your benefit, you know. But, in reality. It's not biblical ah, it's not God's way, though God has suffered it in the day that we're living in. It, back in the days when Joseph's father dies they mourned for many days over Jacob. But, the thing is, I didn't know that they were going to bury him that soon, but ah, I'll try my best not to hold you long this morning to weary you, and those that want to go over there and be with them, well, you can. Now, there's so many things that I'd like to bring out that I know I can't bring out this morning, but I'd like to bring out some of them. Alright, one of the thoughts that I'd like to dwell on, is He spoke of bursting the bonds asunder, and not letting ah, affliction come the second time. He said He would not let affliction come the second time. (I get a little more adjustment on this ah, this ah, machine here, and find out just a little more about it, maybe.) And not, not let it come the second time, that He would burst it asunder Now, this morning, when I first came in we sang a song, and that song spoke of the coming of the Lord. Will the Lord come again? Now, I believe He will! What we just encountered, or just encountered in the death of Bro. Bucky, and the things that has just happened concerning the recording: going to Nashville wasn't some idea, or something that I had come up with, or some plan that I had. That wasn't it at all. Me turning toward the musical end of it, to press into that some at this time, was no plan of mine. If I had a been going to do it, I would have done it at least twenty years ago. But, I have waited patiently for God to perform in my life, and in the life of my children, in the life of my family, that which I felt should be performed. And, this musical end of our ministry, in what we're doing right now, has a great Spiritual significance. First of all, I have given all that I have here to my Brethren. I gave it to them. Because it has to do with the Jews and with them becoming the Head of the Nations. So. I gave them all that I have. As a matter of fact, I've got a song called, "All That I Have." The tract. "All That I Have." I believe we've got a tract on that, haven't we? "All that I Have." Now, I've gave all that I had, my strength, my efforts, my mind, everything that I could to it, and I gave it to the brethren, because it had to do with them becoming the Head of the Nations, and the move of God, which I know is at had to go forth. It has to do with the last twenty, over twenty years of our ministry, and with this coming year, and the five to seven years that we've been in this area, in our building and preaching and publications. And especially with this coming year, and an ultimate in God's expression, from our ministry, and from things that we've done toward the world. Now, so then, the musical end of it has a great meaning. We did not go to Nashville just to be going. I've given all that I had here to my Brethren, but my spirit, which belongs to God. My spirit, in the type of what we was doing, I gave to my wife. Because my wife, as a symbol of the bride, in being married to betty. So then, I gave all of my songs to my wife, and to the children. That's all that I reserved for the wife and the children; which was my spirit, for my heart and my spirit went into the songs as I wrote them, as I sang them. Many times as I wrote them, tears run down my cheeks, and I traveled around. Many times I've wrote them; sometimes on my knees, with tears streaming down my cheeks. Because it was my heart, it was the expression, my desire, my life, my spirit. And so then, I gave them to my wife and to my children a long time ago. And in this, it indicates that God has prepared the world and the fullness thereof that the Jews might have complete control and complete power over it, and the head of the nation; that they should have everything under thier control, and all nations should have to do obeisance unto that leadership. But, in my spirit, that indicates going to my wife and to my children, in the Rapture of the Church. And so then, in going over to Nashville, Tennessee, It had to do with a death, burial, and with a ressurection. No wonder that God allowed the decease of our Bro. Bucky the way that He did. It's no little wonder. Because going to Nashville had to do with the end of Bro. Branham's ministry, whereas, when I say that, a man's ministry never ends. Paul's never ended, nor will Bro. Branham's. But, In that God has a great outreach that comes directly from a man's decease, then after that, God begins to raise up another move, and adds to what He has already done. And so then, it indicated the end of Bro. Branham's ministry, as far as the cycle, that God might start another living mover in the earth. Now, so then in this, Bro. Bucky was representing the law. Most all you know that bucky was a judge, or a Justis of the Peace, and represented the side of Jesus that refered back to the law. I talked to Bucky about this. I told Bucky this, and I talked to some of you brethren about it, and, and on the side that Bucky represented, it had to do with the law. And after that we had had this Campmeeting, that we just recently had, it had to do with the end of the law. He represented, though he was in the days of Grace, and though it was the move of Grace, yet he represented the law and God said to Bro. Branham, "As I was with Moses, so shall I be with thee." and God was with him as He was Moses and great wonderful things took place. And I believe that Bro. Branham, and Moses did, tried to be faithful in all of his house. But, it doesn't say that Moses' followers was faithful in all of their house. They murmured and they complained until God took their leader, and cut them off in the wilderness, and raised up another leader, and took their children and took them into Canaan Land. So then, God has moved by His great Spirit, not to cut off the followers of Bro. Branham, because bro. Branham's followers only represent the move of the Church world; the elders, which would not listen to God, that's been cut off in he wilderness, while God, among bro. Branhams followers, among all the denominationals, ah, people of the world, has raised up a people that are the children, and when I say the children, I don't mean the children of God; He raised up the Children of God, whether elders or young alike, and God is taking them into the Canaan Land of God, which is the Mind and Revelation of Jesus Christ. You follow me? Ah, you'll have to bear with me, cause I'm kind of tired, and kind of worn, you know, on the inside, and I just have to take my time here, and if I stagger and stumble a little, or if I can't, can't you know, get it over like it, it ought to be got over, well, you bear with me. Now then, so then, we see in this that Bro. Branham represented that side of it. He represented Moses. He represented the side with was the law, and his people was to take an acclesiastical look, they and outlook. They was supposed to be the type people that would be a demanding people. You know, Moses' people was, you've got to come right to the line, and even Miriam and Aaron drawed Moses, himself, right down to the line on things, saying, "Who do you think you are?" And so then, God let Bro. Branham come up the same way, and the people did Bro. Branham the same way. They took that same outlook. "Who do you think you are?" "Do you think you're the only prophet in the earth?" but, yet God defended Bro. Branham and God stood by Bro. Branham, not because God loved Bro. Branham any better than He did you. God loves the very least one, just as He does the greater. As a matter of fact, God will devote more time to a spiritual baby than he will to a grown up that can take care of him own self. Isn't that right? You devote more time to that baby. You're more enthused over that baby. So then, God doesn't think any more of him than He does you, nor of me or any other person that might be grown yp in some way in God. He doesn't think any more of him than He does you, not of me or any other person that might be grown up in some way in God. He doesn't think any more of them than He does his little bitty babies. Alright now. Bro. Branham represented this great thing. But, when Bro, Perry Greene came to Atlanta, Georgia, It had to do with the end of Bro. Branham's ministry in the cycle. He brought, just proir to that he came to Henry's place. Came to Bro. Wilson's place, he came to Bro. Wilson's place, and I spoke of the trumpet that Bro. Wilson had that a woman, I believe by the name of Mary, had given him, and that it had to do with the birth of the new coming forth. I also spoke of Bro. Dwight's trumpet that Wilson's had to do with the gathering of Isreal. And they say thay had an overflow up there at Wilson's church. And then, Bro. Dwight's having to do with the move of Israel into battle. And sure enough Dwight was the one that went down to make the record over here in Nashville, Tennesee. He was there on the, on the records, and I believe one of them that he recorded was "He Is The Man." Now, you say, "Where is the connection, Bro. Pike, between the two trumpets? Because Bro. Wilson, himself, is making records and is scheduled to go down there pretty soon and make another record. He is making records and both of them are working through Bro. Tidwell. That's something, isn't it? He met at the well. But, they're working through that together and it, the place called Hilltop Studio, which has to do with the crucifixional part of it, in that Jesus said, "If I be lifted up, I'll draw all men unto Me. Now, I used to wonder why that God would tell men to lift up holy hands. But, when you lift up your hands, it symbolizes Calvary. When He tells us to lift up our hands and praise God, when they held Moses' hands up, God took special notice it represented Calvary. And when you raise up your hands like that, God again sees Calvary. And it touches God's heart, and causes God to move in your behalf. Men, to lift up their hands and praise God, it's a wonderful thing. So then, over at Hilltop Studio, it had to do with that. At the Hilltop Studio is also Bro. Johnson, from out of Memphis, who is indirectly connected with this, a wonderful singer, a Jesus Name man, that's where he also goes to make his records. Now, in this thing that God's doing, Nashville has to do with it. Bro. Hollis you probaly remember that I spoke of Him, and how that the tent that he had had to do with this move. Now, again, I say, that it is no little wonder that he should be one of them that would go down into Nashville because he represented the leadership of that then. He was the man that made the supreme investment in it. It was his truck that carried it and his organ or what not, that was under the tent. And so then, when the record was made, there was not one other Black Person that I know of, that went there outside of Bro. Hollis, other than his wife, or family. Now, so then, he represented the headship and the leadership of that, not Bro. Denny, as some would have thought, but rather Bro. Hollis. And so them, Bro. Hollis going down there, Bro. Dwight with his trumpet, at the sounding of the trumpet, the dead in Christ shall rise; at the sounding of the last trumpet. the last trumpet. The last trumpet refers to the second trumpet that was to put the thing in motion. And at that, Dwight sounded the trumpet down there, and there where this tent was brought from, Bro. Hollis's tent was brought out of Nashville, Tennessee. The green tent that he got was brought out of Nashville, and I sad way back there, and I am sure that Bro. Taylor remembers it, perhaps Bro. Zell or some of the others, I said, "That tent has to do with Nashville, Tennessee; has to do with the singing part of my ministry." I said this as far back as Memphis, and years ago, about the singing part of my ministry, it has to do with it, and has to do with the time, as far back as when I was down there, to give an audition at the Grand Ole Oprey, when I refused it years ago. That was seven ot ten years ago that we made these statements, because we saw then that this was to happen over here. And so then, God, the Bible said, "Declareing the end from the beginning, seeing all things." Then if He is in you and I, the Holy Ghost revealed it to us. Like the woman that went up into the temple and the man that went up to prophecy concerning Jesus. Before the baby was ever Born, before it ever came into the world, the Bible said, "It was revealed unto Simeon and into this woman, that they should see God's Christ." So then, that same great Holy Ghost today has revealed unto me, Jim. It has revealed unto you. He was revealed unto others and today that same wonderful Holy Ghost is still revealing to them that will let Him reveal. We may be hear in this service, and God may reveal your heart to me. He has done that many times. He may tell me your heart. He may tell me your life. He may tell me your past. He may tell me your future. He may tell me anything about you. Then He may tell men the future of the world. But, whatever it is, it is God. It is the Spirit of the Holy Ghost working in me to tell me that which is to come: that as Daneil of old prayed and sought God, when he said, "God, tell me what's going to befall my people in the future." The angel of God came down and said, "Daniel, thou art beloved man of God." He was very beloved of God, because he was concerned about his People! He was concerned about the future, and he applied his heart and his life, and said, "God make me to know, and make me to understand what's going to befall my people." So then, this thing occurred, we made our plans, went down to Nashville, Tennessee and there at Hilltop Studios, while we was there, this thing took place in it's Spiritual type. For that which is old is ready to be folded up ad laid away. And Bucky, having represented Moses, which had to do with Bro. Branham in that that was the thing that turned Bucky around. Was to go back to the Bro. Branham side, because when he turned from this, and yet, he didn't turn from it in his heart in that he said, "Bro. Pike, I'm with you." The last time that I saw him. But turning from it under pressure, going back to Crawford,back to where that was concerning where Bro. Sweeting is, and where that is concerning the law side, Bro. Branham having been a Justice of the Peace, having been a Judge, he turned, in that, and I told the Brethren in; the meetings, I said, "Brethren, don't feel bad at him." I said, "Because he has to do what God prepared his heart to do." See, God uses the membership of the body of Christ. He moves one membership this way, and one membership that way, and God does it for His own purpose, to raise up that He will, raise up whom He will, and to put down whom He will. That's His own way of doing. So, then, God intended for that to be. He was born for that purpose, the purpose of God, then there's Pharoah born for that purpose. You're born for your purpose. Look at Esau and Jacob; they were born for their purpose. Before Esau was ever born into the world, God said, "Esau have I hated, but Jacob have I loved." ( Here the tape is turned over.)........ Let another, his bishop partake. And so then, what ever it might be, God has ordained it. He created the good, He created the evil; He works all things after the counsel of His own will. So then, at the Hilltop Studios, here we flew over Southern, went over Southern, when we got there at Hilltop Studios, then it typified a separation; and in this separation it typified the battle there on the hilltop between the body and between the Spirit. At seeing this, and at being there to watch what God was doing, we had two engineers to come in, a lot of things if we had a little more time we might could elaborate on them this morning, but two engineers came in, and there at Hilltop one was doing our recording. Now, the other came in from Cincinnati, Ohio, and I spoke to him of you, Bro. Taylor. From Cincinnati, he there has his own professional Studio. This man that came from Cincinnati was the man that was interested in letting us have his equipment. So then, you can see the thing again, in that while we was there, Bro. Berretta and some of the others said "Why, we ought to have our own studio, and do our own work and save the money that we have to invest in what's being done." And I heard the engineer there tell the other one, said, "You know, you get plenty of money back if you just set you up a studio." And I know that's true, cause it costs plenty just to cut a record. But, anyway, that equipment coming in this direction, perhaps, we'll put it that way, it is turned in this direction as for as we can tell. But, coming in this direction, then it denotes again the rending of the veil, the separation of the two, the powers of the ingenuity and one on them coming back here having used that on; that end over there where Bro. Wilson that represents the Bro. Branham and yet, yet it's a breach over of the Bro. Branham followers, and Bro. Greene, going out there at Bro. Billy Andrew, it represents the separation there, and the other part coming over to here at this place right here. At the same time our songs going into the hands of Bro. Tidwell being the tie between the two, It represents the unifying of the bodily of Bro. Branham and the spiritual move of this that's represented here. So then, the coming together of the body and the spirit, Whereas, it will come together in Bro. Greene there through Billy Andrews at Hilltop Studios, for even though it was the rending of the veil at Calvary, yet it was the coming together of the many menbers of the body of Christ as a complete unit. Is that right? Till we all see eye to eye, till we all speak the same thing, till we all come into the unity of the Faith; everyone of us coming together, there in the body of Christ Jesus. Bro. Branham's body being joined to this, and our songs having to do with the Spirit and the Life and the Resurrection, that we spoke of Sis Betty being connected with, going into the Body of Bro. Branham and picking them up in a musical air and catching their attention through their singing, in; that they won't yeild through this law part, of it. You follow me? It is so precise and so beautiful, that when Bro. Bucky left from over here, at the very time, the, I want you to see this, the very differences that we had was over the fact of bringing the traler down in time for the Campmeeting. That was where Bro. Bucky got disturbed at me. Standing out here at the little guard house, because I would not go get the trailer at the time he wanted me to go get it, and that was our little difference, and from that, it rose and rose, but I had already told Betty what I had seen and understood, and so then, as it began, the tide began to rise over that, then our differences came over that, which brought it back to the Campmeeting, and, and, when, ah, when ah, David and Becky had their little separation, I said, "It has to do with the trailer being separated." You know, when part of it went up there and part of it stayed down here, and it had to do with the unity of it, coming back together. I said, "David, there ain't nothing to worry about. Revelation shows you will be back together in a few days." and so they were. Now, but in this, in what I'm saying is, that right at the Campmeeting, it had to do with the old beling folded up and laid away, right at the Campmeeting. You remember the vision I had of Bro. Bucky, where I saw him in bed, and he was in his bed, and turned into corruption. Now, in that when a body is put to sleep, it goes down into the grave, it's like a bed, and then of course, the body decays. Now, I mean, where it's your body, my body, or my brother's body, or my dad's body, anybody's body does that. You understand what I'm saying? Now, Job said, "Though the skin worms devour my body." So then, he had to do with that, and at the Campmeeting time, then it had to do with; the separation of that which was old to be folded up and to be laid away. And that redemptional part of the body had to do with his daughter, Becky, which brought his name into our family, whereas David gave gave her his name, and with David, it all came together. It all came together in that David represented bro. Bucky; some of you, I, you heard me speak of it, how that David and Bucky run together like that, for the Jesus side was the David side that would be raise up to sit on the throne of the millenium. Is that right? And then the Christ side was to be the Spiritual resurrected side, which is the Rapture of the saints of God which will be in a greater place that will rule through David there on the throne or through the Jesus the Christ ruling through the Jesus, and then the rest of them being the head of the nation under the constraint. And you, you know how that David, himself, came here and when you Brethren would not give honor to any body, you gave honor to David, and followed David, and David, even though he wasn't doing like he ought to, yet you still worked with him, and honored him here in letting him set up the ah, " Harvester Herald.", and different things, because you knew that my heart was in David in the sense he was my son, and I wanted him to live right, and I told you what he represented. Alright now. So then, we see a great thing in the Mind of God as we have spoke of it before it took place, and now relate to you afterward, the confirmation of what was taken place that you might clearly see that what we said before has taken place, in that it is the Mind of God. God telling the end from the beginning. Alright now, He said, "It's not you that speak, but the Heavenly Father that speaketh from within you." At these studios over there, Jim, at the Hilltop Studio, there the body was separated, as far as the death of Bro. Bucky and the law going back to the Justice of the Peace and the Judge, the law was folded up and laid away, but his daughter, which is still his blood, which is still his life, and even his wife turning favorably toward this, his body still coming back in a resurrection, for through the death of Jesus, He redeemed the body that was lost. Is that right? You and I and others, and turning to this to bring it back up that God might have His way in all and all in every thing. So then, Bro, Branham's body which ws cut off, that is gone. That was cut off. But, at this time, it is to redeem bro. Branham's body, whereas I said, the, the following of Bro. Branham would start turning to it, whereas they are doing it, and then that would indicate the redemption of that which was cut off out there in the beginning. Now, because Bro. Branham and I was one. We were together. Now, not only was we together in the beginning, we are still together in the end. And in this, And in this, God is but one God, He was in his heart, and your heart, He's in my heart, And so then, in this, it has to do with the deceace of our Brother, has to do with the recordings, why we flew to Nashville, Southern, and why that when we got there, we caught the plane which was the Eastern to come back on, because the message goes East in the resurrection. Now, going South, that indicates death, and down into hell, and so forth, Nashvile, the gnashing of teeth. It used to be a place of smoke and, and just trouble and worries and problems, but it finally got to the place to where even the President, himself, while he was in office, he, you know, he'd go down there just to be in Opera Land. It's a great thing down there now. Okay, now in this, look at Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter had to do with this, because at Bro. Branham's death, then Kennedy also lost his life. In the coming up of Jimmy, in healing of the wound, it brings the power of leadership back, that the leadership might be a Democratic leadership, and whereas Republican has had it for a number of years, republican is always the conservatist, always that which it is a centralized government toward self, their own ideas, the rich and the constaint. Is that right? And I made this statement many years ago, many years ago, I said, "The Republicans are always supported by the rich man according to what I had seen in revelation because it is the rich man's move. And they said the rich man supported Ford in this campaign, but I said, "The poor people always go Democratic, because Democratic Government means the people rule. Republican Government means that the leaders rule, the leaders are always those that have money. So then, When the body rules it, or the members of the body, which is the Democratic part, it indicates a resurrection of the body. Is that right? Since the republicans went in, it had to do with death. Now, here come that Republican thing, staying all these years from Kennedy's death right on over, so to speak, then here comes a resurrection, coming up of the Democrats, and the Democrats are always liberal people, and puts it in the hands of the people. Jimmy Carter said, "I'll put the government back in the people's hands", that's because it's Democrat, back into their hands because there's always what you call good times and prosperity when the Democrats are in rule. They are not conservatists, they are liberals. So then, you see the redemption of the body, in the, after the death of the body through Kennedy to begin with, you see the resurrection of the same body through Jimmy Carter, who found out as we had spoke of. Being relative to that before, that his name was Kennedy; that he really is a Kennedy. Alright now, in that we found this, I said that in the vision I resurrected both kenndy and my brother, Charles, and when my brother, Charles coming up over here in the resurrectional type, then so comes Jimmy Carter in the governmaent moving over to Atlanta, Georgia. But in this recording, or in the Nashville part of it, that we add a little part to each one of our sermons, we add another little part to it that you might have a chain reaction through the tapes coming down, and to do that we have to go back and pick up some of the previous things that we've said to kinda tie them together to where they'll add a little here and a little there to where you can understand. Line upon line, precept upon precept. So then, in the resurrection of the body, it was to pick this up, and sure enough Bro. Greene is planning a great meeting out in Tucson, Arizona. Now, I believe that that meeting has to do with the vision that Sis. Minnie Baldwin saw. I believe it's in connection with it, and we'll see if it is. But anyway, he's planning a convention out there before the fall is, or before this year is over, as far as I know, according to Bro. Tidwell. Now, Bro. Tidwell was so carried away with the songs and with the singing until he said to me, he said, "Bro. Pike," he was just talking about how beautiful they were, he said, "I believe that these sounds will be heard all over the world." That was how enthused he was over it. Now isn't that something."The Heavenly Echoes." Isn't that something? Echoes from Heaven heard all over the world. Now, so then, I see a great thing taking place even in the recording, and of course, we're gonna have bro. Atlee Beachy to make our own Jackets and everything to put the wording on. I talked to them down yonder about it and they do a good job, and I'm not complaining but, I don't feel like they do as good a job as our brethren do here. And so then, I told them we want to do our own. So then we will do our own here, and when we get it made just like we want to, then they just, we'll let them go ahead and print them up there, you know, and do whatever they want to there, but we'll have it like we want in on this end. Our labels, we're gonna make our own labels, our own name, our own publishers, and this we're gonna do, we're gonna run them through the B M I Publishers. Ah, ah, how many of you understand what B M I is? It's the biggest, biggest operation in the world as far as the music protection. It's what all the stars, and all the others go through. B M I Writer. Gonna run it through there for this reason. We will operate here under that for this reason. The songs represent a great thing Spiritually, and you can very well see, and we will not sell the songs. We've refused to sell them and commercialize off of them and to make money. And though there's people that wants them, and are willing to pay us, and give us contracts and give royality, they've done told us so; yet we refuse to do it. We are putting them out as we have all of our other materials that our talents, our life may be soley given to Christ, that Christ can give to us and nobody can say that they made Abraham rich. Even though they're our songs, and the Bible said, "That which is our's, we can do to it whatever, you know, with it whatever we will." Looks like we've got an open door. But anyway, it looks like that, you know, we can do whatever we want to with it, where, because the Bible said, "Whatever is your's you, it's lawful for you to do what you will with it." Now, somebody said, you can make money." But see, it's a do what you will. I will give them away. So then, it is my desire to freely give, even I, as I have freely received. But, I try to be as wise as I can to protect you, to protect all that is a part of the Body of the Lord Jesus. As I know my wife' s heart, and I know my children's heart, and their heart is in the ministry, and I refused to even co-ordinate or work with my son-in-law, or with the children, until they determined in their hearts that their labors and all that they got and what they were going to receive or do was to be invested in Christ and His kingdom, and the Brethren in a unit for all that we do. And they fully agreed to it, seeing that God would not bless it the other way. now, so then, I am running them through the B M I affiliation for this reason. We freely giving, and those, such as Bro. Tidwell or others, the ones that want to work for the ministry, that way they can record our songs, enjoy them and have the wonderful benefits of them. And if they put them or record, if they sell the records, whereas, we are going to do ours the way God wants it done, about, the way we've always done. But if they sell them, that's alright, there's nothing wrong with that, if they want to sell them, that's perfectly alright, because that's their livelihood. They that wait at the altars are partakers. But, I'd rather do it this way, because this is the more pleasureable way of God. Now, so then, they will do that, that will give them chances to do, then the songs will go out to the public. But, at the same time, running it through the B M I of protection, nobody can record those songs on a commercial basis, that I don't want to record them. And I don't want anyone recording those songs on a commercial basis to get money to give to the world. They will be compelled, that if any of those songs go out, the money will come back here to the Brethren. And they won't be able to do anything else about it. Now, because that's what the B M I operation is. They really put the finger on you the minute that you step out with those songs without permission. Now, so then, it is to try to protect you and those that are involved, and no complicate what we're doing for God But, we do have here, as you see, a great thing concerning the resurrection. Now, there's quite a few things I want to tie in here that would have really help you this morning, but I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna do it this morning. I might get back and say something tonight. I might not. It might be another day or two, somebody else might minister tonight. But, when I get around to it, I've got some things I want to say that I believe is really gonna help you individually. But, anyway, in these few things that I've exhorted you in this morning, you can see with a lot of other things that we'll not be able to make mention of how that if you say down, talked to God, you can see it all tied together, how that it'll come together in a beautifull thing. Even when Bro. Charlie Elliott wrote the song down here, back over in Centerville; had no melody to it, I said, "It has to do with the resurrection." Is that right? Alright, now in that you see these things happening, it is a fulfillment of what we said. I said that the last move of God would go out with great musical thing. Is that right? It's a great musical thing, because the Ark of the Covenant, the singers, all of them was right with the Ark, and in the coming of Jesus, ten thousand times ten thousands, with everything under the earth will be crying praises to the Lord Jesus in the coming of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. And so then, as it comes from the Heavens, the angels will be playing on their harps and singing and the great thing will take place, an like the song that we wrote, "Prince of Peace", the greatest scene is now approaching, the greatest scene that's ever been set will be set in Heaven. And Jesus, Himself, will step forth. So, it will be a great musical thing. He that, for, for us, He, the one that died for us, will come forth, and we'll see the nail riven hands, see the pierced head where the thorns was, see the great move of God, and see the great things that, that takes place at the coming event of Christ Jesus. But, you've got to get your eyes opened. You, the wicked shall not see when good cometh. So, you've got to understand, if you're gonna be a part of this. So, in going down to Nashville, here we have come back over here to Little Bethleham showing the thing in the resurrection and winning it over, whereas, Bro. Tidwell's heart has been over on that side, has thoroughly changed and won over on this side. And My! at the trouble he was having when he was, we was down there. His wife was in the hospital, things had gone wrong, the children, just so many things that he was just broken hearted. But the Lord had it all that way because it was to be a cruxifixional thing is his natural side of life to bring him over to the spiritual side of life. And everything is working just perfectly for that in that Bro. Greene is planning to take these songs, and even with these melodies that they're to go out and the wonderful things of God take place. Alright, let's stand together. There's so many things that I'd like to say this morning, but I know that you're some of you are going over yonder. Just exhorting you just a little bit concerning a few things to let you know why I went to Nashville. Why that the things took place like they did. Why that we had to wake up at two thirty in the morning, go to bed at eleven o'clock last night. Why that we have a death here right on the spur of the moment, that's hard to understand in the natural. Why that the children have done what they've done. We stated to you long years ago, some of you, that when you saw the children come together, I said, the children separated at the death of Bro. Branham, it had to do with the crucifixion, and I said, "When you see them come together, after seven to ten years." I said. "It will denote the resurrection of Bro. Branham, the move of God, and it will denote the resurrection of mankind, and the rapture, there George, Jr. and them stood together for the first time and really sang there to where they could really be called a unit. Now, so then, we see that the thing has taken place. Bro. Wilson has sold out over yonder in Mississippi. Called the other day, said he'd be coming right on over. Sold out in Mississippi, and brought that in, whereas, we said that had to do with the Jewish part in that area, the body, brought that in for on the other side of the Mississippi had to do with the body in where Bro. Branham went out, and where Bro. Branham called from when we were on this side of the Mississippi, that had to do with the Jordon. When Bro. Branham said, "When I come again, I'll come by your place, Bro. Pike." So then, it is happening exactly the same way that we said it would take place. Let's sing a little Chorus together. If you go over to ah, be with them today, try to refrain from saying anything that might hurt. It's no time to rebuke, to reprove. Bucky can't hear anything that you say. The time was, when I cried to you, stand with me, that you might help the others, for they don't know they're doing. So, if you haven't said the right thing, thought the right things, and done the right things to the folks to help them be turned here to God, forever hold your peace, because it's too late for you to say it now. You say, "Well, I can tell the wife and the children." You cannot tell them anything. God has already told them in a more profound way then you or I could ever tell them. Now, you could have told them. Some of you did not. You rather strengthened their hands and their reasoning against me. But, nevertheless, the thing is, is to repent and turn away from it, beg forgiveness, never reason to feel like you know and understand any more. Don't lean to your own understanding. Go to God and get Revelation. The Bible said the Prophets of Israel are like the foxes in the deserts. They see a vain vision. They say, "Howbeit, when the Lord has not spoken." They Prophesy out of their own Spirits. They've seen a vain vision. But, ah, if we'll take the attitude that we're gonna repent, love the Lord, stand together, prohesy out of His Spirit, which is the Word, the Mind of Christ. Let this mind be in you that was also in Him. Prohesy out of that, then the Lord will bless us. The people will not be confused and God will give us the great blessings, confirmation of His word, and we can all dwell together in unity. And we'll all be able to pass over death. This time, at this time, the death of Bucky has to do with the conquering of death. Jesus died, that conquered death. When the law went away, there was no more sin, for sin gets it's strength by the law. Is that right" And when the law went away, the accuser of the Brethren passed off of the scene. Because the accuser of the Brethren, being Satan, had no power to accuse any more by saying, they don't fit this letter, they don't fit this rule, or quote the quotations from a dead man's book. Is that right? The, no more can that be said, in that my own little Gracie that borrowed the coat from Bro. Lyman's little daughter. Betty went to get Gracie a coat, couldn't get one. The Lord wouldn't let her. She come back, took the little blue coat, little blue and white coat from Bro. Lyman's daughter who had replaced Bucky, in that he had moved over there. We spoke about it, the death this morning, the cock crowing, and those kind of things, or yesterday morning, and my own little Gracie took the coat, see law going out, Bro. lyman moving over there, and Gracie coming in, to represent the death of Bro. Bucky, which would be taken to his daughter, Becky, and my daughter, Grace, there to testify with the little coat of the replacement of Grace unto Life. And she was dressed in red, white and blue. I thought about that America, you know, and the Grace of God, when the Jews went out. How He turned to us. But, anyway, the Grace of God, the accuser of the brethren cast out, which is Satan that accuses us through the law, being folded up and laid away by Jesus' death, which Bucky represented the law, folded up and laid away. Now though the law was a Holy thing, don't get the wrong understanding, cause the law was a Holy thing. If it had been a law that could have saved man, Jesus would never have died. But see, God is a Spirit, that's the only thing. Ah, naturally speaking, you won't never meet a man that was any smarter than Bucky; that had any greater understanding; more influential. The man was brilliant. See, but all he knew to turn to was the law of the letter in reasoning, and decided as a judge what was right and wrong. He confessed that. But, he was put in that position. And he siad, it's said, I, "I see the spiritual thing, Bro. Pike, but to get over into it," said, "I just can't seem to do it." Like Moses. I said, he represented it. Bro. Branham, as Moses, looking over he was caught up saw the ladies with the long dresses, but couldn't get in. Alright now, so then, when Grace came, she went down to the Hilltop Studios, and there was where everything showed the powers, the contest, the victories, and how that the intellect was defeated, and yet the body and the brilliance not destroyed, for the Spirit was to go back, pick the body up, put the brilliance, to stimulate the brilliance, but during the time of the death, the purging to take away the, like winter coming, to take away the infiltration of parasites. And then the Spring time comes back into the same body of the tree, up comes the sap and the life, but the parasites and the infections are dead. So it can be a healthy tree with healthy fruit. So then, in this, we saw everything transpire, even in the little coat, God having His way. People, you know, unless you're in the Mind of God, you'd never notice it. Nobody would never notice it. Jesus, the Bible said, "He that is Spiritual judgeth all things." Jesus, if He's in; your life, it don't make any difference if it ain't nothing but a gnat, you'll judge it, as to what it was. If a gnat lights on; the end of your nose, somebody said, "Well, you're a bunch of freaks. You're a bunch of fanatice." Well, ah, it said that a fanatic is somebody that, that believes something so strong that he feels like everybody else ought to believe it, so that's what we are out here at Little Bethleham. We believe this and feel like everybody else ought to believe it. So, at any rate, We're children of God, and we love the Lord. That's the main thing. Isn't it? We love the Lord. So, let's sing this little chorus together. Don't forget, if you go over there, just try to be kind and do all you can, be just as courteous and reverant as you can, and Folks, watch your children, for the Lord's sake. Please, Mothers, Daddy's alike! Daddy, you're reponsible, too. Don't let the little children do things that will reproach the church, to reproach people, and hurt them and dishonor them. For Christ's sake; be a Daddy and Mother and command your household after you, or else you will never make it into the Translation that I'm speaking of. Please, for Christ's sake. I've emphasized this so many times. for the Lord's sake, remember that. Don't get to talking and let them wander off. "Children left to themselves will bring shame," the Bible said. Not only natural, but Spiritual Children, and that's why the Church is having the shame it's having; and then when you leave them like that, there's no need of taking is for granted that you's are different, because they're not. (Here the tapes are changed.)... Chorus together. Don't forget to pray for the Children and Bro. Eddie and them now. They're on they're their way back, I suppose by now, and pray that God will give the a safe trip, because they have labored hard. You just don't know how hard they've worked in singing. That's a hard job when you go into the studio, hour after hour. It's a hard job. It's an aggravation thing, and at home practicing, drilling'till way over in the night, and when they got to Nashville, Bro. Tidwell said, Bro. Pike," said, "They drilled so hard over into the morning." said, "I couldn't take it." Said, "I had to quit." Said, " I left them there." Said, "I just couldn't take it." Said, "They went so hard and so long, and all, until he just had to quit, but, even James, his son, made the statement when they get there, said, "You all must have been practicing, this is," said, "This is just too good, know, to just come up like this," said, "Ya'll must have really practised." Whereas, they had, you know. They really inspired those people down there. And besides that, they were planning to give out some tracts. We also gave out some tracts. Got some testimonies in. Betty testified to a stewardess on the plane that, she's really carried away. She lives right over here at Symrna. She's lived in New York and different places, and moved over here for a few months; living over there, and she's wanting one of the records, and I don't know whether she said shed come over or not, but she's liable to come over, she was invited to the Campground. She's been with the Eastern Lines, I think, for about two years. Okay, let's sing this little Chorus together. "I love Him Because He Is Mine." (Here Bro. Pike leads the Chorus.) Now, you're my Spiritual Family, and we're all together the Family of God, and we should be all for one, and one for all. Now, I believe it's David Paul that's just come in, ain't it? Now, I'd like to see Bro. Atlee just a few minutes right after the service, if he can come straight around into the printing room. Can we sing that again? I would like to find out from David, have they made all arrangements, David? Oglethorpe? Is, is that ah, is that ah, ah, some church around here? Oh, at the Funeral Home in Crawford? Oglethorpe Chapel. They're gonna hold, hold, the services right there? Who's officiating? Okay. Now, you see how beautiful that setting is? I felt like it, the reason I asked, I felt like it would go to that setting. You know, what Bro. Charlie represents. How many of you know what he represents? You know What Bro. Sweeting represents. I mean, you know, who he's been with, and the breach over, and there you have two of them together. You, you understand what I'm saying? Now, I'm sure some of you don't I can tell the respond I got. But anyway. let's just sing this again. Can we? Two wonderful brothers that's officiating there. It's a wonderful, wonderful setting to prove what we said about the things of God.
