Do you believe it?

Share
Now, there's something strange about you, sir. Satan has desired to take your life. You're all tore up. You think you've sinned away your day of grace. You think your life is ruined. Do you love Jesus? What makes you love Him? Before there could be anything to there make you love Him, there has to be a Creator to create the love in your heart. Is that right? If you'd sinned away your day of grace you would hate Jesus. But you love Him, and you're all right. And the devil's just lying to you. You're nervous. Come here and I'll cast him away for you if you'll believe. Do you believe it?

Then people love to become in your presence

Share
Then when you become a son or a daughter of God, your disposition changes; your attitude changes; your all, your look towards life and towards others changes. It doesn't mean that you just have joined church; it means that you have been regenerated. You have become a new creation in Christ Jesus, that you have... The old things have passed away, and God has spoken to you, and you have become a new creature. I want this to go way down even into church members. Then as you would love to be in the Presence of Christ, and you become a part of Christ, then people love to become in your presence, because you become a part of God, son and daughter of God.

You mustn't question anything to God

Share
You mustn't question anything to God. "For the footsteps of the righteous is ordered of the Lord." And every trial is put upon you to prove you. And the Bible said they're more precious to you than gold. So if God let a few light afflictions happen to you, remember, it's for the correction of you. "Every son that cometh to God must first be chastened of God and tried," child-trained. There's no exceptions, "Every son that cometh..." And these afflictions are done or brought--brought about to see what attitude you'll take. See, it's God on this proving ground. That's all earth is, is a proving ground, and where He's trying to prove you.

We should see Him

Share
God, Jehovah, overshadowed a virgin and created the blood Cell. And when That was born, It was the Son of God. In other words, it was a Tabernacle. It was a dwelling Place where Jehovah could live among His people and express Himself, what He was. What an example. How that a--the holy God made manifest, and then took the place of a servant to wash feet. And spoke that "The birds have nests, and the--and--and the foxes have dens, but I don't have a place to lay My head." Then what an example. How would our life reflect to His? And He made the example of what we should do, how we should be. We should see Him when you look in the mirror, see Christ, the mirror of His Word, how that He did that for love.

He just lets you stand alone more than anybody else

Share
You see, many times, people thinks that a prophetic gift, that God just says, "I'll pick you up right here, and set you down here. Now, you just go right over here." And He doesn't tell you all those things. If He did, then what overcoming faith did you have? See? See, you, He lets you stand alone more than anybody else. See? You all can come to me and ask for certain things, and He's never failed yet but what He's give you the answer. That's right. Yeah. But I can ask Him for things for myself, and many times He just let's me alone (See?), just let me go ahead and walk into it. I have things now that I have to solve out myself, and decisions I have to make. And this is such a vital one, till I cannot exactly make it until I'm sure that it's Him speaking to me. And I--I... He won't give me a vision. He just lets me alone. So I'm just setting as an orphan like this morning; I--I don't know which way to turn. So I have committed it to the Lord.

That means Christ is in our midst then

Only way we see Christ is when He reflects in each other. I see Christ in you. You see Him in me. That's how we watch Christ. I come to the meeting. I start preaching. I watch the people. You can see whether they're interested or not, just a few minutes. You look over the audience. You can tell who you're boring or whether you're not. See? And the first thing you know, you see them standing there hanging on to every word, under expectation. See? I'm seeing Christ reflected in that person, because he's hungering and thirsting for God. And then me preaching the Gospel, he sees the Christ reflecting in me. I see Christ reflecting in him. That means Christ is in our midst then. Amen. Hungering and thirsting... I watch the audience, how they take it, say something another, watch what--what effect it takes on them, watch their face light up, full of joy. They're ready right then to receive something. That's Christ. I see Christ reflecting in that person, because the Gospel, the simple Gospel of Christ is taking a hold in that heart.

The mighty Conqueror

Share
18. He went into the regions of the devils, demons; He scattered them. And right to the very pits of dark hell He went, still in existence. Though His body was quiet on the cross, He was still the great and mighty Conqueror. And after nineteen hundred years has passed, He's still the mighty Conqueror. And He will forever be the mighty Conqueror.
Then when He got to the very doors of hell, if we could use a little drama here, the devil step out and say, "So I finally got You. So You've finally arrived. I tried to destroy that seed all along. I destroyed Abel. I thought I had You. When I destroyed the prophets, I thought I had You. I was sure when I got John that I got You. But now, here You are, and You're in my kingdom, and You're under my domain, and You're in my power, for You died as a sinner."
I can hear Him say, "Satan, I am the virgin born Son of God. My Blood's still wet on the cross. I have met every just requirement for Adam's fallen race, and I've come down here to conquer and to take over." Amen. Reached to the devil and grabbed the keys of death and hell, and hung them on His own side, and kicked him into the pits where he belongs. Still the mighty Conqueror.

It's at that time

Oh, it's at that hour, friend. It's at that time. It's at those crucial, crucifying hours that we see the resurrection. It's in that time that when God loves to display His grace. It's in that time when God loves to comfort His children. The darkest hour this world ever seen was Good Friday when all hopes. All was written, all the hopes they had was what was written on paper. All the hopes they had was what some philosopher had said. And there was the Prince of Life dying at Calvary. It was the darkest hour the world ever seen. But Easter produced the brightest hour that the world ever seen, because all superstitions, and all doubts, and all fears were taken away when God raised Him up.

And if each one of you in here now has not been positionally placed... You might not be nothing but a housewife. Well, you say, "Brother Branham, I never done a thing in my life. I'm not a preacher." Well, maybe God brought you here to raise a family of children; out of that family of children may come another family of children, that'll be a preacher that'll send a million souls to Christ. You had to be here. You're here for a purpose. Did you know that?
Well, you say, "All I ever done was harrow across these old clods. And I'd take out early a evening, didn't know how to make my kids a living. I looked at the poor little fellows with no shoes on. I've set and cried. I got an old buggy, and me and ma went to church." Don't you worry, brother. You just keep loving Him; He's got a purpose for you. You just stay right the way you are; just go right on. See? You might not never preach a sermon, but you might be the great-grandfather of one that'll do it.

What can you show Him?

42. Here some time ago in the State of Kentucky, up in the mountains. The story goes of a little precious mother with about ten children, laid dying with that dreadful disease, of tuberculosis. Oh, she had doctored, and done everything that she knowed to do, but the germ was killing her. It was taking her. Soon she was to die. Out of those ten children... Of course, she loved them. But there was none of them but one that would work. None of them would help her. She lay dying. She took her bed; she couldn't get up no more.
This one little girl, she done all the washing while her sisters trotted off over to the neighbor's to play. And she cooked for the rest of them. They'd be home at mealtime. Then when it come time to wash the dishes, away they--they'd go. She had to do it all, nobody else was left to do it.

43. Finally, death come up to the door one day and took her mother. Then it was all throwed onto her, to be mother then of all these children. The poor little thing worked, and she worked, and she worked till her little hands was calloused. And she done all that she could to be mother, to take her mother's place. Finally, she worked so hard and underfed too till the dreadful disease got her little broken down body. Finally, she took her bed, and she was dying.
There happened to be across the country, a Sunday school teacher drove up in a car, and went in to see her, and called her by name. And he said, "You understand that the--your disease is serious?"
And she said, "I understand that I am dying."
She said, "I've just consulted your physician, and he said that you were dying."
And she said, "Yes, that's right."
"Well," she said, "are you prepared for this a..." The good teacher said, "Are you prepared to meet this?"
And she said, "Oh, yes. I'm prepared to meet the Lord Jesus."
"Oh," she said, "that's very fine. Well now, what denomination do you belong to?"
She said, "I don't belong to any." She said, "I worked so hard here. Nobody would help." And said, "I--I don't belong to any denomination."
She said, "Child..." The good teacher said, "You must belong to a denomination." Said, "What are you going to show what denomination you belong to when you come before Him?" Said, "Well, wha--what group are going to associate with? What denomination can you tell Him that you belong to? What can you show Him?"
The little lady setting there, pulled her little calloused hands out from under the bed, said, "I'll just show Him my hands; He will understand." I think that's right. If we just show Him, and what we've done with what He's put in our hands. Let's do it with all that's in us.

And when you are truly baptized into Him, the true evidence is that you believe Him, the Word. How can you be a part of Him and then deny Him? How can I deny my hand being my hand? If there... If I do, there's something mentally wrong with me. And how can I... If there's something mentally wrong with me, deny that's my hand, deny that's my foot? There's something spiritually wrong with the believer that denies any Word that God ever said in promise. There's something spiritually wrong with that so-called believer. You can't deny one letter of Him, because you have become a part of the same. You are a part of Him, because you're baptized into Him by the Holy Spirit that's brought you into the Body of Jesus Christ. What a beautiful thing.

We're going home one day

All Scripture is inspired. I don't believe we have one right, and will be condemned for it, if we add one word to It or take one Word from It. Revelations 22 says so. I believe He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. I certainly honor the Lutheran for their stand in their day, the Methodists for sanctification in their day, and the Pentecostal for their stand in their day; but we're living in another day. We're living when there's been stalk, tassel, shuck, almost like the wheat, but the wheat's inside the shuck. The shuck has just supported the wheat, kept the hot sun from burning it. And now the denomination is pulling away from it, so It can lay in the Presence of the Son to get ripe. So we are--we're in... There won't be no more organizations rise up. This is the end of it. We've had, always about three years, when a message starts, they organize it. This has been going on for nearly twenty years and no organization. It can't. We're in a wheat time, a harvest time. I can hear the great combine coming. We're going home one day.

God is His Own interpreter. When He promised, He said, "Let there be light," and there was light. He said, "A virgin shall conceive," and she did. See, whatever God says, God proves it. No matter how much you try to think the physical resurrection couldn't be, and them people's back yonder, just dust of the earth, and past dust now, they're just into the acids and gases that their body was made out of. Their soul's still living. God said, "I'll raise it up." Job said, "Though the skin worms destroys this body, yet in my flesh I'll see God." See, no matter, every Word has got to be kept, and man shall live by that Word.

Now, there was those who stood by, didn't believe that. They said, "This Man is Beelzebub; He's a fortuneteller." Jesus said, "I forgive you for that. But when the Holy Ghost is come to do the same thing, one word against It will never be forgiven in this world or the world to come." See, the atonement wasn't made yet. See, there couldn't be, you can't have... You can't be cast into hell before you come to judgment. This nation wouldn't do that; God won't either. See, you're in a place, waiting in chains of prison until you receive judgment. And you see, He could not send them away, because the atonement wasn't made yet. But after His death, burial, and the Token came forth from the Blood, the Holy Ghost, then to speak against That, it's an unpardonable sin. Just one word is all you have to say against It; then there's never forgiveness nowhere. One word against It (See?), what a great thing it is.

God loves you

If you had a little boy setting out on the street, and you said, "Junior, dear, you'd better come in, dear. It might be. I don't know; they'll probably drive around you." You don't love that child. That's right. You'll get out there and shuck the hide off of him or make him come in. That's right. You love him. That's the way the Gospel is. God loves you. "And those that He loves, He chastens and rebukes every child that comes to Him." If you can't stand chastisement, you go away and get angry about it, then you're illegitimate children and not the children of God. So just remember, it's just the Scripture. Now, a word from Him, one word will mean more than I could say, a million lifetimes. It's Him. We know His promise. We know what He promised to do.

A real Bible believer, punctuates every one of these promises of God with a "Amen." That's right. If you can't believe it all, you say, "Well, I believe this, but I don't know about that," you've got the same interpreter that Eve had. She tried... He tried to interpret it to Eve. "Oh, this is right, and that's right"; and "Oh, that's true to that. But, surely God..." God said so. And every word... There's not one word, or one phase of it, can be mis--mis-accepted. If you don't accept it with all your heart, every bit of it, then you might as well not even start at all. See? Remember, it was one little phrase of it, just turned around, that caused every sickness, every heartache, every death, everything. It caused it all. Just by misbelieving one little phrase caused all this. Do you think just deliberately walking over one little phrase will get you back, when... People don't accept half of it sometimes, and then call themselves Christians. See, see? It's all right, every bit of it. It's just got to be put together. And there's only One can do it; that's the Holy Spirit, by interpreting It by His own fulfilling what He said He'd do.

Watch, he had to obey it word by word. "Take off your shoes, Moses. The ground whereon you stand is holy." What if Moses said, "Well, now, Lord, I just had some schooling. Honor is take off your hat, so I'll take off the hat." That would never worked. When God said shoes, He meant shoes. When God said borned again, He meant borned again. He don't mean a handshake or repeat a creed. Everybody's scared of that new birth. The devil substituted a handshake for it or some kind of a psychic affair that would make you acknowledge, "Yes, I'm borned again." But your life tells what you are, the life that's in you. You say you're borned of the Spirit of God and deny one Word of that Bible, it shows you're not. You try to place it back on something else, that shows it wasn't the Holy Spirit, 'cause He'd never deny His own Word. You say, "Well, my church teaches that." There it shows you're not. You're borned of the church not of God. This is God, His Word.

It is not the holy church; it's the Holy Spirit in the Church that makes it holy. It isn't the holy man; it's the Holy Spirit in the man that does it. Not a holy man, there's no such a thing; it's a Holy Spirit. And Peter was referring to this as a holy mountain, because a holy God met them on this mountain. It was a sacred sand. And let me stop here this afternoon and say this: that each one of you people that's been borned again of the Holy Spirit, You remember the very hour where the Holy Spirit, the very spot where He met you. And when doubts come, and fears begin to rise, there's always that certain place, that you can come back to that time where you met God, and the devil can't tread on those sacred sands. It's where you met God and you talked to Him. Though fears and things rise, it has nothing to do with it. You know you met God on those sacred sands.

Our Gentile revival is ending pretty soon. The Jews are going to take the revival. As soon as they can see the power of God manifesting and receive the Holy Ghost, they'll take the Gospel.

God's only trying to find one person He can get in His hands. He's always tried to do that. You notice, all down through the Bible, when He found an Isaiah, when He found a Jeremiah. Then He found--He found Samson one day; but Samson gave his strength to God, but he gave his heart to Delilah. See, he... You've got to give your all to God, your reverence, your respects, your everything that you are. Just be nothing; just see how little you are, and that's what God wants us to do.

God could not bless Seth until He separated him from Cain. He marked Cain and sent him to the land of Nod, and Cain with his smart wisdom become scientists and everything else, growed a crop of that. And Seth, under his righteousness and the love and faith in the Word of God, he growed a crop that produced a prophet that warned the last days (that's right), saved every believer; and the wisdom destroyed every one of them. They, every one died. Everyone, no matter how many degrees in psychology they had and everything else, they perished in the judgments of God. And everything outside of the true borned again Spirit of God, that believes every Word of That and stands right on It will perish in the judgments of God. When you see these little twisters going down the street, and all this carrying on, and carrying on like that, remember, it's nothing in the world but fodder for the judgment.

"For THUS SAITH THE LORD, the barrel will never go empty nor the cruse dry until God sends rain on the earth." First, God. She went in and baked that little cake and come, give it to the prophet. And went right back and baked another one, and another one, and another one, and another one. And the barrel never went empty nor the cruse dry until God sent rain on the earth. She put God before her children. She put God before anything else. She taken the Kingdom of God first. God must have first place in your heart, first place in your life, first place in everything that you do or what you are. God must be first. He doesn't want the second place.

You see, a man's character is made known by his works. Whatever you are, your works prove what you are. No matter how much you testify, whatever you say, pro or con, that has nothing to do with it; your works tell what you are, tells what you are inside. Every job that you do manifests what you are. And you business men, if you just do a patched up job, see what I mean, just a halfway job, don't do that. If you can't do it right, don't do it at all. That's right. When you come to Christ, if you can't absolutely sell out lock, stock, and barrel, and come to Christ, don't come at all. But when you really want to be a Christian, stand out, make it real. That's what God wants you to be. And that'll--that'll prove... Your works will prove what your character is. Your character is known by the works that you do.

Oh, brother, sister, if the only thing you know is go to church, if the only thing you know that you joined or was baptized, or something like that, why not hide your life away with Christ. Get alone in the quietness, away from the world and all of its cares, and settle down and watch what a refreshing will come. You know, Isaiah spoke of it one time. He said, "Precept must be upon precept, and line upon line upon line, here a little and there a little. Hold fast to that what's good. With stammering lips and other tongues will I speak to this people. And this is the sabbath (or the refreshing) that should come from the Presence of the Lord."

Now, you can't make Him be an illegitimate child; so the Holy Ghost is God. So is Jesus God. So God, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is just a... That's three offices of one God. It's three attributes; the same God. You're a part of God, and I'm a part of God; but I'm not all of God, and neither are you all of God. See, see?

From the foundation of the world. You ain't going to deceive them 'cause they're laying right in that Word. When they see those things appearing [Brother Branham snaps his fingers--Ed.], it's Life, they catch it right now. Others will walk around and say, "Aw, there's nothing to that."

You have to accept it. And it's not how hard you cry, how much you beg, how much you persuade; it's a surrendered heart to God with faith believing He done it. Even our altar calls that we have, in bringing people up around the altar, they didn't do that in the Bible time; that's a tradition of our people, originated formally in the Methodist church. But look, it's a good thing. I don't like this dry eyed repentance. I like to see somebody get up and really be sorry for what they done, and really mean it. But no matter how much that you pray, you'll never be forgiven until you believe you're forgiven, then you confess that you are, then live like you are.

The Bible said, "He was the most subtil of all the beasts (not reptile), of all the field." He was the one who beguiled the woman in his beauty. And she conceived, and now by doing that and seeing sin was coming, God put such a curse upon him till science will never find any relationship between this serpent as known today and mankind. But, there is your fallen, degraded being between--that hooked the animal life together. There you are. God has hid it from the wise and prudent, but will reveal it to babes such as will learn. See? There's your fallen person.

You accept Him as your personal Saviour

Why do we baptize? Water won't save you, but it's the obeying an act. Taking the communion won't save you, but it's following the commandments. You're only... Beating on the altar won't heal you. Beating on the altar won't save you. You could beat on the altar until you just went out of breath and--and died there. You'd still be unsaved until you accept and believe that Jesus died in your stead, and you accept Him as your personal Saviour. Every minister in here could lay hands on every sick person in here and pray from now until day after tomorrow night. There'd never be one thing happen until you accept what Jesus did for you. So therefore it doesn't lay in ministers, in one another, but it lays in our own individual faith in a finished work that Christ did for us at Calvary.

Don't never get off

And you find gifts and so forth creeping up in the church, and the operation of these gifts. Before you let it go to operating and things, first... Feel it pressing on your heart... Now, the enemy's real slick. See? And that's just what tears the churches to pieces every time is a true gift operated wrong. See? Something God's trying to do and operated wrong, it'll just--it'll just simply not only hurt you, but it'll tear the whole church up. See? Consult it; take it through and through the Bible, then test it and see if it's God or not. Just keep testing it and trying it, see if it's perfect right down the line and right with the Word. Then you're all right. See? As long as the Word has said it would be here, would operate this certain way, stay right with it. Don't never get off, no matter what anybody does, how real it seems to be. If it doesn't reflect in the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelations, leave it alone. Don't take no chances; we're in the last days when Satan is just deceiving as he can be.
