Closely examining Luke 1:17 and Matthew 17:10-13, one discovers John the Baptist fulfills the first phase of Malachi 4:5-6. Who will fulfill the second part? What is meant by turning the hearts of the children to the fathers?

IN THIS LITTLE MESSAGE WE WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD, AND ALSO THE GIFTED MEN THAT GOD HAS SET IN THE CHURCH FOR THE PERFECTING OF THE LIVING ELEMENT OF HIS BODY IN THESE LAST DAYS.

SCATTERED THROUGH THE NEW TESTAMENT ARE VARIOUS STATEMENTS, THAT TAKEN BY THEMSELVES, LEAVE A QUESTION IN OUR MINDS. THE QUESTION OF HEADSHIP IS ONE OF THE THINGS A LOT OF PEOPLE SEEM NEVER TO GET STRAIGHTENED OUT IN THEIR THINKING

“Who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? For He shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: He hath no form nor comeliness…

I greet each of you in the name of the Lord, and ask that He help me as I continue on with this message I thank the Lord for His greatness and His goodness. This morning, I have the testimony here, which you will find in the Psalms, “Who forgive all our iniquities and healeth…

WHAT HAPPENED IN THE LATTER PART OF THIS PRESENT LUKEWARM CHURCH AGE WHICH POSITIVELY IDENTIFIES THE AGE WITH THE SPIRIT RULING OVER THE LAODICEAN CHURCH OF ASIA MINOR SOME 40 YEARS AFTER ITS BIRTH?

We are going to deal with a subject that has generated quite a bit of controversy, especially in the Pentecostal circles, ever since Bro. William Branham made the statement that he did not believe that hell is eternal…

The subject I am going to approach in this message is an unusual subject. I have felt to go over this subject for the last few weeks. I remember the first time I ever heard anything like this was in 1961 when Bro. Branham had just preached a sermon where he explained there is no…

Paul has been speaking of the Holy Ghost: “From whom the whole body fitly joined together.” Fitly, that is a word that carpenters will recognize. If something does not fit, then it is either in the wrong place or it is not cut right…

Bro. Allen ended the last edition of The Contender in the book of Joshua. Joshua challenged the children of Israel to serve God and to enter a covenant with him. Joshua then raised up a stone pillar as a witness of their promise to continue to serve God. Bro. Allen is finishing up looking at…

I want to go into something a little different than what I was on this last message. Let me go to Revelation 10:1. “And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud…

Bro. Allen ended the last edition in Romans 8 speaking about how we are joint heirs with Christ, and also looking at the 144,000. He is picking up here where he left off.

I have some things I want to deal with which the prophetic preachers out there completely overlook. They look at 1st Thessalonians 5th and say it has nothing to do with the rapture, because they do not believe the rapture will come before the tribulation…

In the last edition, Bro. Allen reviewed scriptures showing that God created hell for the punishment of the fallen angels because they had corrupted the first creation that God had placed on the earth. In this edition, he continues explaining how Satan perverted creation a second time, much the same way that he had perverted…

In the last edition Bro. Allen examined the conditions that will be present on the earth at the end of the tribulation period when Christ returns to earth. In this edition he starts by looking at the events leading up to the return of Christ, and the judgement of the wicked on earth at the…

In the last edition of The Contender, Bro. Allen ended reviewing the circumstances present on the earth when the wicked are judged at the return of Christ. In this edition he picks up looking at Christ’s descent to hell after his crucifixion before looking at the parable of Lazarus and the rich man.

In the last edition Bro. Allen began to leave his title subject and started to review topics which have been attacked by critics. He finished by looking into Isaiah 4, and in this edition, he picks up looking at the Third Day of Hosea 6 before returning to his subject of Hell Is Not Eternal.

We are living in a time when evil is rampant. Satan is getting people ready to accept whatever he would dish out to them. Only the saints of God will be able to escape it, and that is not many. I do not want to think about it too much, but God knows what people…

I have some additional scriptures I want to review in connection with this topic. I also want to go back over some of the things I have already looked at. I want to get everything right, I do not want to leave anything that is not tied down.

I believe with all my heart God is winding things up and getting His church ready to go. I know a lot of what I am saying in this edition and the past one does not have a lot to do with my title subject. But I am going through time so we can understand…

I was thinking about the Eternal Age and the things that we know about it. We know that the Bride will never relinquish all her authority. Bro. Jackson taught after the thousand-year millennium is over and the eternal age begins, Jesus will become our elder brother and things will revert to what it was like…

WHAT THREE STEPS CONSTITUTES THE PREPARATION FOR A WEDDING? WHAT IS THE WEDDING GARMENT AND HOW, WHEN, AND WHERE DOES THE BRIDE RECEIVE IT? WHAT CONNECTION DID THE PROPHET MESSENGER OFFICE OF MALACHI 4:5-6 AND REVELATION 10:7 HAVE WITH THE BRIDE AND HER GARMENT?

WHAT ARE YOUR CONVICTIONS CONCERNING HOLINESS? DO YOU BELIEVE IT IS JUST FOLLOWING A SET OF MANMADE RULES, OR IS IT A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EVERY INDIVIDUAL CHRISTIAN AND GOD? WHAT DO YOU THINK OF WHEN SOMEONE MENTIONS HOLINESS?

Brothers and sisters: True holiness is more than just a shell that we put on. True holiness is perfected, when you are inside, what you appear to be on the outside, if what you appear to be on the outside is in harmony with God’s principles of righteousness..

SAINTS: I JUST WANT TO ASK YOU A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS TO SORT OF PROVOKE YOUR THINKING, BEFORE WE ACTUALLY GO INTO THIS VERY IMPORTANT SUBJECT WE HAVE CHOSEN TO DEAL WITH. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE GODHEAD? DO YOU KNOW WHY JESUS HAD TO BE PERFECT MAN, IN ORDER TO FULFILL HIS PURPOSE UPON EARTH?

THE HUMANITY AND THE DEITY OF JESUS CHRIST IS A SUBJECT OF SUCH A VAST SCOPE, WE COULD EASILY FILL A HALF DOZEN ISSUES OF THE CONTENDER AND STILL NOT SAY ALL THAT COULD BE SAID ON THE SUBJECT, BUT WE WILL ENDEAVOR TO SAY ENOUGH IN TWO ISSUES TO HELP ALL THOSE WHO LOVE…
