1 I said that the Brethren from abroad should come here for the baptism and there were four phases awaiting them here. I said that according to Leviticus 8. The first phase according to Leviticus 8:6 to 7, the second phase according to Leviticus 8:10 to 12, the third phase Leviticus 8:31 and finally Leviticus 9:7. And all these verses show that exactly...
2 When I started preaching, they told me, "Don’t dream, the world is very large! How are you going to do to reach the ends of the earth"? and the wife of a schoolmaster told me, "You are inapt", because I used to speak with difficulty, I stammered, but today, I speak correctly and my parents say, "How does it come you do not stammer anymore"? And I myself do not know…
3 And the Message reaches the ends of the earth, the Message is in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Swahili and yesterday evening I held the plan of Salvation in the Malagasy language. For the Bible says they shall come from all the nations, from all the races and from all the languages of the earth. In less than ten years, all that is fulfilled. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. There is no Salvation except in the living prophet of the generation.
4 Now let’s come back to this passage of Ephesians 2:20. What does Paul say? Does Paul say that, "Before me, you have been built upon the foundation of the Apostles and prophets…"? No, it’s not you are built but you have been built upon the foundation of the Apostles and the prophets. Even for a time, he himself, Paul, had also been built upon the foundation of the Apostles and prophets, and when he returned from the desert of Arabia, he went up to the Apostles in Jerusalem to compare his doctrine with that of the Apostles. But when he understood that, on that day, on his way to Damascus, the keys of the Kingdom were in another hand and that, hence, it is him, Paul, who had them, he said, "According to the grace of God which has been given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation…" [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. He said, "As a wise architect, I have laid the foundation…". You see?
5 And while the Apostles and their disciples were preaching such and such a thing, Paul rose up and he said, "If one of the twelve Apostles or one of the seventy disciples who walked with the Lord or even an Angel comes to preach another thing besides what I, Paul, am preaching on earth presently, let him be accursed". [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”].
6 This is what those who recount the history of the Church will not be able to see. You see? It was no longer "Moses and the prophets" but "Paul and the prophets". For the Lord Jesus Christ had left the Apostles and was now walking with Paul. And all the elect had the revelation of it according to Matthew 16:18 so that he even re-baptised some disciples of John the Baptist, the man who baptised the Lord Jesus.
7 No matter what Paul told them, they did it. You see? Whether you wanted it or not, it was Paul the living prophet and the prophets already dead, a living prophet and the dead prophets. At the time of Paul, you had to preach Paul and the prophets otherwise you were under the curse of Galatians 1:8! You could not announce the Gospel unless you announced Paul and the prophets. You see?
8 And after that, it was Irenaeus and the prophets. Then Saint Martin of Tours and the prophets. Then Columban and the prophets. Then Martin Luther and the prophets. Then John Wesley and the prophets. Then William Branham and the prophets. And now Kacou Philippe the living prophet of your time and the past prophets. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”].
9 Now, what is the problem of mankind? Be attentive! … Matthew and his people fell on their face when the lion came out. Then Mark and his people fell on their face on the day of the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus. Then Luke and his people fell on their face when the animal in the face of man came out. You see? Luke fell on his face when the Lord Jesus was performing miracles. Because of miracles, Luke saw that it must be the Messiah whom the prophets talked about but he did not pay attention to all the rest whereas Apostle John did not pay attention to the miracles but to the Word.
10 And on this side, there is a posterity that wanted to prostrate itself before the Word but the Angel said to it, "Do not do it! See thou do it not. I am thy fellow-bondman, and the fellow-bondman of thy brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Do homage to God. For the Spirit of prophecy is the testimony of Jesus." [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. Look at Branhamists and you will see that a Branhamist can never do that.
11 Take the Gospel according to John and read all the Gospel according to John and you will see that it is not a Pillar of Fire or any confirmation that made John to prostrate himself in Revelation 19. No sir! Verse 9 says, "These are the true Words of God". And when John heard these same Words you are hearing this morning, he fell on his face! [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. Why? Because John was the eagle, the manifestation of the Word, and only the Word could lead him to do this.
12 And to start, John said: "At the beginning was the Word". The Branhamists could not do that because they are Pentecostals. From Azusa Street to this day, they are Pentecostals that are being born down there and for them you cannot be a servant of God unless you produce a photograph of light and sensations.
13 William Branham had tried something: Bring the Pentecostals to the Word. William Branham had wanted to turn some Pentecostal seeds into Word-seeds and that did not work because before the foundation of the world, the Pentecostals had not been created by the Word, they were not God’s original creatures. They are the shuck that wraps up the grain. They came to William Branham because of the signs and miracles and did not have but an apostolic faith like Thomas. And this is exactly what they are manifesting here, in the face of the midnight Cry.
14 All the dogs that are born in kings’ palaces have also the love for bones in their soul; this is why on December 18, 1965, when William Branham had the accident, the first person his sons called was the Pentecostal Tommy Osborn whose wife preaches and it was that Tommy Osborn again who came to lead William Branham’s funeral service in the presence of Ewald Franck, Orman Neville, Joseph Coleman, and Perry Green.
15 Tommy Osborn would tell them: "Stand up, be seated! Stand up, be seated! Stand up, be seated!" And they all obeyed. And there were many Pentecostals who had come to the Message of William Branham with some Pentecostal baptisms from which they were never re-baptised because that was in the Name of Jesus Christ by immersion.
16 A Branhamist was telling me the other day, "If you’re really a prophet from God, split the Mediterranean Sea into two so that we’ll go from Africa to Europe on foot". What is that? They are Pentecostal seeds. Yet, he had started by saying, "We have the word, we have the word…" but when he got wordless, he said, "If you are really a prophet, split the Mediterranean Sea into two". You see?
17 Today, the sons of God who are among Branhamists, Lutherans, Wesleyans and Zwinglians, are just the regrowing wheat! [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. It is true that John Wesley, Martin Luther and William Branham are authentic men of God and their Messages are the whole truth, but if you are sitting down there, you can feel peace in your heart while there is a living prophet on earth, that means that you are a son of the devil! [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”].
18 And on last Sunday again, Brother Obame Arsène gave me the information that two pastors had just been baptised in Gabon. One of them comes from the evening time while the other comes from a mission called Bethany. I had said to Brother Mbuyi, "Brother, three years shall not pass before you start seeing in Gabon what you are seeing here in Ivory Coast." [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”].
19 When William Branham said, "I stay with Pentecostals because they have recognised the truth", he thought that it was because of the Word he was preaching that those Pentecostals were following him. But at the opening of the seventh seal, talking of the unknown tongue, of the third Pull and others, he said, "And a voice, said, "You cannot teach Pentecostal babies supernatural things, let them alone." [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. William Branham was regarding them as Word-seeds but God told him, "They are Pentecostal babies!"
20 Yet, what can’t the devil imitate? The Word or signs? You see? Kacou Severin discerned the thoughts of the hearts just exactly with a pillar of fire, as William Branham did, being able to tell your name, your wife’s name, your parents’ name, your birthplace and date with a powerful healing gift and after him, tens of young prophets did the same thing, with the same accuracy while all those people reject William Branham. I have got a video here showing that …with accuracy!
21 Branhamists do not understand it and they say it is the true Holy Spirit on some sons of the devil! They speak about the end time anointed, that the true Holy Spirit would act on sons of the devil. But I tell you that it’s false. They are spirits of demons acting on sons of the devil. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"].
22 Notice that the beginning of the age of Laodicea is marked by Pentecostalism with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Azusa Street in 1906. And what is strange is that it was God Himself who told William Branham to go with those Pentecostals and his mother-in-law did not want him to lead her daughter there. You see? How can a man of God fraternize with Catholic priests, Protestant and evangelical pastors? You see? But this is exactly there in the Bible. God had said to Abraham, "Go down in Egypt!" And that is exactly what William Branham did, descending in Egypt, fraternizing with evangelical pastors, sons of the devil, worshippers of demons.
23 But you who are listening to me, bear in mind that you cannot follow God except in the midnight Cry. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. And that is like the construction of a house. First, the chief of the masons comes with all his suite. It is the part that requires much energy and strength. It is the age of the lion. And when the masons finish and disappear, the joiners and their chief appear and the atmosphere changes, you can hear a great deal of noise and they are the ones who have hammers, nails and all that is necessary to crucify the Lamb.
24 And when the frames, the roof, the doors and windows are made and they disappeared, do not say, "That is enough for me, I no more need the rest of them" for the electricians must come. So is it for the Kingdom of the Heavens. The electricians must come. It is the age of Luther, the light age; man starts to understand that the just shall live by faith.
25 For the first time, the nations start realizing that the Christianity they believed they had accepted was not but a human religion. Then, after that, the plumbers and their chief come.
26 Notice that the masons come and go and come again. And after the roughcast, the electricians come back again… And all the rest depends on these four. The floor installer is a mason. The framer and the roofer are joiners etc..... After the work of the joiners, after the doors are put in, the masons come again for a second time and after that, the electricians come again to put the circuit breakers, switches, bulbs and others in. But when the painters and their chief come, it is the end. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”].
27 From that moment, there is no longer a place for a mason there, unless he comes as a painter. You can no longer come there with equipment or a spirit of masonry, joinery, plumbing or electricity. Only painters are there and they are the ones who will present the finished work. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. So is it for the Kingdom of the Heavens.
28 And whoever does not work in the chief of the painters’ spirit is a demon. We do not have to go and put gowns and cassocks on and constitute choirs and others like Methodists but they are the Methodists who have to quit all those things and come here. We do not have to try to produce Pillar of Fire photographs but they are the Branhamists who have to quit all those things and come here. For it is henceforth Kacou Philippe and the prophets and he that hath ears to hear, let him ear.
