Jas 5:12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
Jas 5:13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
Jas 5:14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
Jas 5:15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
Jas 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
Jas 5:17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
Jas 5:18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
Jas 5:19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
Jas 5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
Psa 10:17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

*THAT'S WHAT THE CHURCH
NEEDS: A HEART CLEANING."

E-83 Remember, it will never be... You can't say, "Well,
now, I belong to this... the Assemblies, I belong to the Foursquare, or the
Church of God, or the Jesus' Name," or--or any of the rest of them. No you
can't get in on any of them. God calls you as an
individual. And it's you that's got to clean up, because He's taking a people
from the Gentiles for His Name's sake, His bride, the Gentiles.
Esther cleaned
herself. She cleaned her heart. That's what she cleaned. That's what the church needs: a heart cleaning." How
do you clean your heart, Brother Branham?" Washed
by the water of the Word, through the Blood of Jesus Christ.
*THE CHURCH NEEDS A PURGING,
A CLEANING OUT.
THE.MARRIAGE.OF.THE.LAMB_
PHOENIX.AZ SUNDAY_ 62-0121E
E-84 The Bible said it's wrong for women to act that way, and
for men to let them do it. That's both of you. A man that'll let his woman get
out in the street with naked--with clothes on like that, I've got little
respects for him being even a man. He's a puppet. That's right. She uses him as
a dishrag. Shame on you. You ought to be men.
And a pastor will let
his church get by with such things as that without blasting the tar out of it
from the pulpit, he's a sissy. What we need is men. The Gospel--not with rubber
gloves, but with the power and demonstration of the Holy Ghost with the Word...
The Bible says these things are wrong. It's wrong for people to do that way, to
act that way. It ought to be preached, and lived, and everywhere. Ought to... The church needs a purging, a cleaning out.

E-85 Esther purged her heart before God, walked up with
a meek and humble spirit; the church that's going to be the bride of Christ... Now, remember, Esther refused
the worldly adornment. She took the Spirit in her heart to go before the king.
And the woman today,
the church that thinks she's going to get in because she's got more numbers,
she's the best dressed crowd, she's got the biggest organization, the biggest
church in the city, and things like that... You'll miss it a million miles if
you're depending on that.
It's a
sweet, kind, reverent spirit to the Word of God, washed by the water of the
Word. And the Word in you, it's a washing. Amen. The
church needs a washing, a full Gospel washing (That's right.), not just a part
washing, but a full Gospel washing, cleaned up, made new creatures in Christ
Jesus.
*... SHE'S GOT TO BE PURE,
SANCTIFIED, HOLY, WITHOUT SPOT OR WRINKLE, BY THE BLOOD OF HER--HER SAVIOUR,
JESUS CHRIST.
THE.MARRIAGE.OF.THE.LAMB_
PHOENIX.AZ SUNDAY_ 62-0121E
E-86 Jesus' bride is not a dirty bride. He wouldn't have His
dirty bride. A woman come up to get married, and she looked like she come out
of the pig pen out there, a man that's got any dignity about him wouldn't marry
her. He'd make her clean herself up. And when the church of Christ comes up to
get married, thinks she's going in the bride with all the world tagging onto
her... Christ's bride won't be like that. No, sir. (I must hurry.)
Neither is the church
of Christ, of the Lord Jesus Christ, that church is not a ragged church either,
with worn out rags of denominations. She don't have to be a--a member of some
great denomination. She has to be Blood-washed, Blood-bought. Not saying we
belong to the biggest church, the biggest organization, or this, that, or the
other; she's got to be pure, sanctified, holy,
without spot or wrinkle, by the Blood of her--her Saviour, Jesus Christ.
*... THE CHURCH OF CHRIST
GLOWS WITH LOVELINESS, AND SOFT, AND SWEET, KIND.
THE.MARRIAGE.OF.THE.LAMB_
PHOENIX.AZ SUNDAY_ 62-0121E
E-87 Like Esther, the hidden man in the heart, the hidden man,
the meekness and gentleness of the Spirit of God in
the human heart, not the glory and class of the world...
I've always said the
world shines; the Gospel glows. Oh, it's a million miles apart. Hollywood
shines; the church of Christ glows with loveliness,
and soft, and sweet, kind. That's right.
* BUT WHERE THE WORD OF GOD'S
BEEN SOWED INTO THE PEOPLE'S HEART, IT WILL REAP A BRIDE FOR CHRIST AS CERTAIN
AS I'M STANDING HERE: END TIME SIGNS.

There's a
revival going on. What is it? A sowing. You don't hear very much of Billy
Graham no more, do you? What about Oral? What about the rest of them? You know
the great revival fire's not burning. What is it? It's the end time seed sign. The words has been sown. What is it? Denomination will reap
denomination. That makes them confederate themselves together.
But the
Word of God has been sowed also. And when the Spirit of God begins to fall, the
Word of God will live in the people. And that false bride that's committed adultery out there, and brought
herself into creeds, and sold out her birthrights will reap what? A
confederation of church, that's to be bound and burned like the thorns and
thistles. But where the Word of
God's been sowed into the people's heart, it will reap a Bride for Christ as
certain as I'm standing here: End time signs.

IT. HOLD IT IN YOUR HEART.

...Be careful
what kind of a seed you're taking in your womb of your heart. Don't you take
creeds; take the Word.
They've been talking so much about latter rain. Not discarding you
latter rain brethren, but that's not latter rain. If the latter rain would've
been here, the power of God would've struck that thing, and she'd have swept
the world. The latter rain's fixing to come. What's the matter? The church is
manufacturing herself something just like Eve tried to do. She tried to have
more light to manufacture something.
We've done the same thing, trying to make something in ourselves. Keep
your hand off of it. Let God do it. Take His
Word and believe It. Hold It in your heart. And when the rain begins to fall
life will take hold, and the Word will manifest itself.
* LET THE MASTER BUILDER OF
MANKIND, WHO MADE MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE, WHO IS BUILDING HIM A BRIDE FOR THE
SAME THING...

185 And as long as we try to bring our churches out of creeds
and denominations, we'll never do it. Let the
Master Builder of mankind, Who made man in His own image, Who is building Him a
Bride for the same thing, let His bow stroke of the Holy Ghost strike this Word
in your heart one time, and it'll be our best example. No matter how
many big churches you go to, and how many names is on the book, it'll do more
for Jesus Christ than all the churches, and denominations, and creeds, and
world churches, and organizations, in all the world.
*HE IS MAKING A BRIDE. YES,
SIR. HE'S HEWING THE CHIPS NOW, CHOPPING OFF THE WORLD.

186 He is making a Bride. Yes, sir. He's hewing the
chips now, chopping off the world. Oh, church-joining, and creeds,
and denominations, and dogmas, all has to be cut away from the Church; their
formal ideas, their indifference, their doctrines and things. Come back and let
the Master pick up the bow. Let the Master pick you up in His hands, strike the
Word, say, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever."
187 Say, "Amen, Lord. Make me,
mold me, make me, Lord, what I should be." Then there'll be a different
thing.
188 Then, "If I be lifted up
from the earth, I'll draw all men unto Me." Yes, sir.
189 He is cutting you
out now, cutting you down to His Word only, cutting all the creeds and dogmas and everything, away
from you, trying to get back to a Bride for the
Son, another masterpiece, part of the Word. The Word!
