Stay right with them then

148. Abraham never looked at one thing but God's promise. Regardless of what was, he stayed with God's promise.
149. Then that's the reason we don't find more. An organization can't possess the gate of the enemy. There's too many fangle minds in there.
150. Got to take an individual, that possesses the gate of the enemy. You can do it if you wish to. Yes, sir.
151. Let's try a few, for a few minutes, see if they stay in the Scripture.

152. Now, there was a time down in Babylon when there was a--a image set up, pretty type of the Catholic church, and all that didn't bow down to that image would be burned in the fiery furnace. Now, it was a showdown, whether they was going to stay, when God said, "Thou shalt not have any other gods before Me, or make any image of anything." That's what God said. The showdown come.

153. All the rest of Israel falled right in. And when the trumpet sounded, and the--and the psaltery sounded, and the--and the flute sounded, why, they all fell down before this image.
154. But there were three of them that said, "Nothing doing." They heard that still small Voice, and they stayed in line with the Word. What did they do? Stayed with the Word.
155. And after, they--they--they said, "If you don't do it... We'll give you another chance, or we'll throw you in the fiery furnace."
156. Said, "Our God is able to deliver us from that fiery furnace." [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] "But, nevertheless, we'll stay with the Word."

157. Now, brother, what about you? "What will I do, Brother Branham?" Stay with the Word. Stay with the promise. "My church will all walk away from me." Stay with the promise. They have to fade, just go away someday, anyhow. But, God won't. Stay with the promise. "Well, I tell you, they'll kick me out." Stay with the promise, just the same. You stay right with the promise. Now, if you can stay with the promise and stay there, stay right with them then.

158. Fellowship with everybody. But now here, now, you'll never win any other way but besides fellowshipping with everybody. You got to. Now, when they got so bad, they immorally, then stay away from it. That's right. Don't get on the enemy's territory. But as long as you're trying to win your brother, that's different. See?

159. Now watch. But you'll never win the opinion of the organization, one person. No, sir. When, they got their rule set, "We believe this, period!" If you'd write up your doctrine, "We believe this," comma, it'd be different. A period means, "We believe this, and you've got to come to this and sign this paper, or that's all of it."

160. But if you say, "We believe this," comma, "plus as much as we can learn from God. We're open to the Holy Spirit," then you're going on, brother. Yes. That's going to be different now.
