He was very unhappy. He thought I was rebuking him, but I wasn’t really
rebuking him. I was rebuking the spirit of diabetes that was coming at us.
Well, he went to the doctor and tested, and sure enough, he had diabetes.
He began to get treatment, insulin, and all that sort of thing. But I kept on my
merry way. Now, remember, I am two years older than he was. So, one day
Brother George called me and said, “I had a dream about you.” He said, “I
dreamt that you were sitting at the table eating, and you were eating and you
had to go down into the basement to fight with a demon that was down
there.” He said, “And this demon was coming and you were preparing for this
demon, but you were eating as if it was part of the preparation to fight this
demon.” And he said, “And lo and behold, we heard, “Boom, Boom, Boom!”
The demon was coming up. He was coming up. And when the demon came
forward, it was your brother.”
I said, “Oh! It is nothing but the diabetes! That is what it is!” So I took
heed and ran off to the doctor and got tested. Sure enough, I had a blood
sugar level of 350. Amen! Hallelujah! So I went home. The doctor said,
“Oh, you have to get injections.” I said, “Not me, sir. I am going to deal with
it in the way that God showed me.” So I started eating better. I stopped
taking sugar. Not eating the chocolates and anything, you know. When I
went to Europe, I always came home with a lot of chocolate. Now I was not
eating any sweets and so the blood sugar level went right down. And I keep
watching it.
Now, what is that? Why am I telling you that? I am telling you that if I
had not believed that Brother George had the gift, that particular gift of
prophecy, to have dreams and visions-because the prophetic gift is in
different ways, you know. Dreams and visions are one part of it. You
remember Joseph in the Bible? He was a dreamer. So, George is a
dreamer, and I took it! And “BAM!” I got deliverance! It is because I believe
in the body of Christ. God said, “For this cause, some of you are weak and
sickly and some sleep, because you do not discern the body of the Lord.”18
Amen!
The world churches teach the rapture. The doctrine of the rapture started
in 1830 with the man Irving in London, England. Actually he was in Scotland,
but afterwards he moved his headquarters to London. Now, this doctrine was
then taken by this theologian, Darby. These were not men of great spiritual
repute. Amen. (That is a nice way of saying that I do not believe in what they
did.) Then there was a man named Scoffield, and Scoffield took it and the
Scoffield Bible became so prevalent and so widespread that everybody
wanted to have a Scoffield Bible. I remember that as a young Christian I had
to have a Scoffield Bible. But when you look at the Scoffield Bible, it is
misleading. It is not the Gospel of Jesus Christ at all! Amen! But then, all

the churches took from that and began to preach the “rapture.” They put it in
the Bible schools. You had to believe the rapture! When I went to join the
Church of God, I had to believe the rapture before I could be ordained in the
Church of God; and you can see how important it is.
I was speaking to a man on the phone and he said, “What do you
believe, Brother?” I said, “I believe the Word of God.” He said, “Do you
believe in the rapture?” I said, “No.” He said, “Oh, I won’t even talk to you.”
“Bam!” He dropped the phone.
So the church began to follow a wrong apostolic leading. Remember,
God sends apostles to the church to be that bar in the tabernacle,19 that thirty
cubits long bar to hold the church together, to hold them in line. Amen? God
will reveal to certain people truths for their time. Amen? He called Martin
Luther. He revealed certain truths to Martin Luther for his time. The
Anabaptists came up with certain truths. Then the Methodists came up with
the sanctification truth. That is all that they had, nothing more; and instead of
going on they rejected every further move of God! They rejected the other
moves. So then the very thing that God had put in the church to lead you and
to guide you, you end up rejecting it. And so the thing that comes forward
today is that none of these brethren are hearing from God. They teach the
“rapture,” the teaching that we are going to fly off the earth and leave the
earth and God is going to burn up the whole earth. No man who preaches the
rapture is preaching the truth! He has not heard from God!
Now, the truth is, when I heard this first, I went to God. I said, “Now,
God, tell me. I will not preach it until You tell me!” For if God does not tell
me, how will I know which is true? So then I went into the Word of God, and I
found out that “rapture” is not in the Word of God at all. I found that the all
passages that they taught us to preach on the rapture, that it was not of God
at all. Like in Matthew 24, in Verse 37 and coming down, he said,
“But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man
be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and
drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into
the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall
also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one
shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill;
the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not
what hour your Lord doth come.”
It says that as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the time of the
end. Listen now, what happened in the days of Noah? WHO was taken
away? All the sinners were taken away out of the earth, and the Christians
were left. The rapturists turn it upside down!

So when my brother went and learned all this and came in with his
doctorate, with Greek and Hebrew, I was very happy because I could talk to
him now. So we spent a whole night. I said, “Now, Frank, “…two in the field,
one is taken and the other left.” Who was taken and who was left?”
He said, “Oh, sure! The Christians were taken up on top of the flood, and
the sinners were left.”
I said, “Okay. Let us read the Bible. The scripture said that ‘the one shall
be taken, and the other left,’ and the Greek word for ‘taken’ here is
“paralambano.” The meaning of this word says that those here who were
“taken,” that they were not raptured but that they were “grabbed and
arrested.” So I showed him that, and, well, eventually he came to it.
But what am I talking about? The apostolic leading was wrong. The
apostolic teaching that is showing the way to the people of God was wrong,
leading them astray! So now they reject anything that is from God!
Then we have the prophetic ministry. We do not respect them. We do
not respect them. Amen! If somebody prophetically comes and tells me
something, if my wife tells me something, I say, “Now, where did you get it?
Is it you or from the Lord?” She says, “Well, it just comes to me.” I say,
“Well, that is good enough for me.” Amen! Because the prophetic ministry is
not only speaking through the prophets, but it is speaking through the hearts
of all the brethren, because the spirit of prophecy is the Spirit of Christ!20 And
when the prophetic ministry speaks-when he speaks, I have already had it
in here inside. The Christ in me says, “Aha!” I am afraid! I am afraid to do
anything against what is said by a prophetic ministry!
So Brother Campbell called me a few days ago and said to me, “I have a
dream and I would like to tell you the dream.” I noticed last night that he kind
of cut out that little part. He still does not want you to be mad with him. But I
wish, Brother Campbell, that you would not care, to be honest with you. I
wish that you would not care who is mad with you from who is not mad with
you. If God says so, and you feel it right to say it, say it! It is only when you
have some little secret thing sometimes that must be told just to the
individual; but what happened here the night before you came here, is that
we were singing a song and it hit Charley and the very things that you told me
you saw in the vision, in the dream, Charley came up here and confessed
them. And Charley’s father came up here and confirmed it. God told Brother
Campbell that Charley would be up here. You told me some nights before
that Charley was going to be the first one. Hallelujah! My God!
We have to begin to believe God now.
“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some,
evangelists….”

Amen! Brother David is going out as an evangelist and I notice that when
he goes, God makes it a point to give him some substance wherever he
goes. Amen! I am not talking about people, whatever faults we have, but I
am talking about “God in us.” I am talking about “Christ in you, the hope of
glory.”21 Christ moving in you, and Christ moving in you! I have no business
with your faults! God will take care of them! Amen! MOVE AS GOD
WOULD HAVE YOU TO MOVE, AND STOP SUBMITTING TO THE SPIRITS
OF UNBELIEF! Hallelujah! Amen.
Brother Rodriguez says surely it was Brother David that got in touch with
him, and so and so and so, and we have seen many things like that. Amen!
Instead of sitting back on your haunches and criticizing everything that
everybody does, get up and do something! Amen! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Shepherds! We lack shepherds. Oh, we lack shepherds! There is
nobody here who loves the people, who will lay down their lives for them, who
will go and seek them out in the darkness, and who are looking after them. I
think that the poverty of this specific group is the lack of shepherd ministry.
Does anyone care? Amen! Do we really care? There is such and such a
one and we have not seen him for a while; he has not come back to service.
We do not know what is wrong with him, and then a little news might come
around that he is out there eating dirt-and nobody goes after him! Nobody
goes after him! How many of us have gone after Joe? How many of us have
gone after him, physically? How many of us have gone after Rebekka? We
cannot allow them to stay there! We will not allow them to stay there!
Somebody should say, “Lord God, kill me unless Joe comes back,” or “Lord
God, kill me unless Rebekka comes back.”
But you know what? If you just say it of yourself, you are a goner. You
are going to die. That is, if you say it of yourself. You need to have the
spiritual energy that comes from God, that gives you the real compassion for
that person. Compassion that rises to a level that you put your own heart and
life on the line! Amen! Do you understand?
Not one should die in our midst. Many are walking in the ways of death
and hell. Amen! There is Joshua. Amen! Walking in the ways of hell.
There is his wife, Jennifer. Have you ever reached out to them? Say, “Lord
God, reach to Jennifer today.” Ame n. “Just reach out to her, Lord, and bring
her back.”
We pray, because these things are being done by spirits. Amen! They
are being done by spirits, and the spirits are even going as far as dressing up
the people like spirits. Have you ever looked at the costumes that the
children wear at Halloween? These are the spirits that are reigning and ruling
in the world around us, the powers of the world (the “cosmokratoras”) that are
binding us, binding the church, and stopping the church from going. God
