Don't you take some kind of a sensation. You wait there until God has molded you and made you a new creature, made you a new person. You're tasting It now, just tasting It, but let the Dove lead you right to the table, and--and the Lamb and Dove set down together, and feast forevermore upon the Word of God. For It will stand when there's no heaven or earth; the Word of God will remain. That is true.

LUKE 14:15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. LUKE 14:16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: LUKE 14:17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.

7. “The Spiritual Feast” EPHESIANS 5:24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. EPHESIANS 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; EPHESIANS 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, EPHESIANS 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. EPHESIANS 5:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. EPHESIANS 5:29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: EPHESIANS 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

8. “The Spiritual Feast” “I Was Not Disobedient to the Heavenly Vision” It was in the month of March, 1945, one morning about 3:00 A.M. that our Lord Jesus Christ gave me a vision. This He has done many times and I most humbly praise Him for it. At the beginning of this vision, seemingly, I was walking northeast on a road when the Spirit turned me and pointed me toward the west. I was facing a great mountain. It seemed to be the mountain of the Lord! It had a towering, high church steeple on the top of it. I was then asked to go west toward the mountain. I entered the mountain through a door and on the inside I was met by a woman who had on a garment that might have been snow white at one time. Now the garment was very soiled. She asked me if I was Bro. Billy Branham and I replied, "I am." She then introduced herself as Mrs. Methodist.

9. “The Spiritual Feast” “I Was Not Disobedient to the Heavenly Vision” I asked her why the spots on that lovely white garment. She replied, "I have been so busy." I then said to her, "That's right; you Methodists have so many organizations and societies in your church, you haven't had much time for the Lord." Then she said, "I was told that you were being sent to me. Maybe I should awaken my husband!" Then she disappeared. Looking to my left, I saw a small heap of smooth-baked bread. There were white fowls standing near it, but they would not eat much of it. Then the Lord said to me, "Do you know them?" I No." Then He said, "That is your Tabernacle and they won't eat the bread of life anymore. I am sending you this way." Then I journeyed on westward.

10. “The Spiritual Feast” “I Was Not Disobedient to the Heavenly Vision” I was then brought to a plain where a platform was erected. Seemingly, it was under a large tent or auditorium. There were curtains drawn in back of the platform. The Lord then told me to pull back the curtains and when I did I saw a great mountain of the bread of life. He then said, "Feed these," and turning around I saw white-robed people coming from everywhere, making up a large audience. The following night, after the vision was over, I explained it to my church just as the Lord had given it to me.

11. “The Spiritual Feast” IS.THIS.THE.SIGN.OF.THE.END.SIR_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-11 SUNDAY_ 62-1230E 52-1 I feel like Isaiah in the temple that day when he saw the Angels flying back and forth, with wings over their faces and over their feet, and flying with wings, "Holy, Holy, Holy." Oh, how that young prophet was shook… …Father, maybe I felt somewhat like that, when I seen those Angels the other night--or the other morning, rather. "Woe is me, for I'm a man of unclean lips, and I dwell among unclean people." And, Father, clean me; and here am I, send me, Lord, whatever it is that... I stand at this pulpit where I have been for thirty years. If there's something, Lord, You want me to do, here I am. I'm ready, Lord. But may I find grace in Your sight, humbly, I pray.

12. “The Spiritual Feast” IS.THIS.THE.SIGN.OF.THE.END.SIR_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-11 SUNDAY_ 62-1230E 52-1 I pray for the little flock, that the Holy Spirit has made me overseer of, to feed them. And I've done all that I know how to do, Lord,to feed them on the Bread of Life. As in that vision, many years ago, where that big curtain laid in the west, and a mountain of the Bread of Life... The little book, "I Was Not Disobedient To The Heavenly Vision." Here it all comes to pass, revealed right in our face.

13. “The Spiritual Feast” THE.INDICTMENT_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-19 SUNDAY_ 63-0707M 191 The little woman with the... standing at the well, and all that dirty condition that she was, what did that symbolize? That God in these last days would pull out outcasts. 192 Remember last night, at the wedding... Or, the other time I preached here. At the wedding supper, they said how they said. "I've made a great feast, and so forth. And all these men, I've bid them, and each one had an excuse. 'I can't do it, because it would ruin our creeds. I can't come, because I have my... I've married a wife; she won't let me come. My, I--I got married to a church down here. My mother was Methodist, or Baptist, or a Catholic, or Prote-... I just can't stand for That.'"

14. “The Spiritual Feast” 193 He said, "And you won't come. And you won't taste My supper! But get out there and compel prostitutes and harlots, and drunkards, and whatever there is. Bring them in, and I'll straighten them up. I've made My supper, and My--My guests... My table is set, and there is going to be somebody there." They didn't come. He was condemning them Jews. 194 What about today? "I--I--I belong to the Presbyterian. I--I can't. I'm Methodist, Lutheran. I'm a oneness. I'm a twoness. I'm a this. I can't. I can't." There you are. You won't be there then! That's exactly what He said. All right.

15. “The Spiritual Feast” THE.FUTURE.HOME.OF.THE.HEAVENLY.BRIDEGROOM. AND.THE.EARTHLY.BRIDE_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-5 SUNDAY_ 64-0802 514 Now, grant it, Lord, that we'll not be considered among them, but will be in the call to the Wedding Supper. For, we do recognize Jesus among us today. We're going in with Him; out of the world, into Him. Let us walk forth in that City, come out with Him.

16. “The Spiritual Feast” GOD'S.CHOSEN.PLACE.OF.WORSHIP_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-7 SATURDAY_ 65-0220 71 My friends, I don't want to hurt feelings, but I am responsible for a Message, and, that Message is, "Come out of this mess!" And if I ask you to come out, where am I going to take you to? Would I take you to the Branham Tabernacle? It's as much fault as any of the rest of them. But there's one place I can take you to, where you're safe and protected from death, that's in Jesus Christ, God's place of worship. That's the place I'm introducing to you, tonight, where God put His Name. Where He promised He would meet every person that come in there, He would worship with him and feast with him, that's in Christ; not in no church, no tabernacle. But, in Christ, He is God's Tabernacle.

17. “The Spiritual Feast” I TIMOTHY 6:13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; I TIMOTHY 6:14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: HEBREWS 9:13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: HEBREWS 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

18. “The Spiritual Feast” I PETER 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; I PETER 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: II PETER 2:10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. II PETER 2:13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;

19. “The Spiritual Feast” II PETER 2:17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. II PETER 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. II PETER 3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. JUDE 1:8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. JUDE 1:10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

20. “The Spiritual Feast” JUDE 1:11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. JUDE 1:12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; JUDE 1:13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

21. “The Spiritual Feast” IS.YOUR.LIFE.WORTHY.OF.THE.GOSPEL_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-5 SUNDAY_ 63-0630E 50 When the Holy Spirit poured out on Russia, they was called to a feast of pentecost, spiritual feast, and they turned It down. England, the Holy Ghost was poured out upon them, and they turned It down. America, the Holy Ghost was poured out upon them, and they've turned It down. 51 He bid three times. Three times, He sent out, and they did not listen to the feast. Then He sent again, and He said, "Go and compel those people to come. The table has got to be set. The table is ready. There is still room." And I believe, that, maybe, maybe within the next few months, or something, or year, or whatever it is, God is going to send another shaking across the country, for there is somebody still out there, somewhere, that's a predestinated Seed, that the Light has to fall on, somewhere, somewhere in the world.

22. “The Spiritual Feast” IS.YOUR.LIFE.WORTHY.OF.THE.GOSPEL_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-5 SUNDAY_ 63-0630E 198 Did not Jesus say, "Where the carcass is, the eagles will gather"? "Eagles," not buzzards, now. Eagles! Where the slop is, and the--and the--the carrion, then the buzzards gather. But where the fresh, clean Meat is, the eagles will gather. See? Certainly. Where the Word, eagle Food, they'll gather. 199 So they don't come to the spiritual feast that they're invited to. Do you believe that God has give America an invitation, the last fifteen years, to a great revival, to a spiritual feast? Did they come? No, sir. No, sir. Then, to reject to come, is that life worthy of the Gospel, though they call themselves that?

23. “The Spiritual Feast” AS.THE.EAGLE.STIRS.HER.NEST.AND.FLUTTERETH.OVER.HER. YOUNG_ HARRISONBURG.VA SUNDAY_ 58-0316A E-5 …God feeds His eagles on--by His Word, His spoken Word. Now, I've had... Many times I've set down and enjoyed a good steak, or a good fish dinner, or chicken, and enjoyed it, but never could I enjoy, just like setting down at Jehovah's table and just let Him feed us on His good Word. E-6 You know, it goes to the inside of us. And the church is starving today for some of that Word. There's nothing will take its place. Not nothing will take the place to the eagles, but the real food, eagle's food.“And we are eagles,” so we have to have eagle's food.
