How true it is

Share

But when you'll come together, oh, my, that's it, when you'll fully obey God. "This will all men know you're My disciples, when you have love one for the other." When you get part of the theology out and get a little love in there, it'll do works, and wonders, and--and miracles. But we got to have that. For who? For everybody. "Oh, for that old bunch of Assemblies of God, or that old bunch of Church of God, or old Oneness, or Threeness, or Fiveness, or whatever they are? Me love them? I couldn't love them; they're antichrist." You're lost yourself, brother, when you think that. That's right. You're not right with God. If you can't raise out a hand to the bitterest enemy you got and try to win him to Christ, then the Spirit of Christ isn't in you. "For he come to his own, and his own received him not." Yet He gave His life for His enemy. He did. How true it is. And that Spirit of God in you makes you feel the same way about everybody.

He does it by His never-changing method

Share

And now that perfect Masterpiece that He struck at Calvary, He got a piece off of Him. It’s just the New Testament, that’s all. He fulfilled the Old Testament. Now it’s the New Testament, another piece to be fulfilled. See, the New and Old is husband and wife. See? And it taken the New to fore-…The Old to foreshow the New; Christ come, the Masterpiece, to fulfill that. Now His Bride will fulfill everything that’s in the New Testament. Another Masterpiece is in making. As it taken Him four thousand years to make this Masterpiece; now He’s been, for nearly two thousand years making another Masterpiece, a Bride for Christ, another Masterpiece. In so doing it, He does it by His never-changing method, the same way He made the Masterpiece; His Word. That’s the way He makes His Masterpieces, because He can only be a perfect Masterpiece when It’s the perfect Word.

You’re sealed into It

Share

Here, friends. If you ever was healed, if you live long enough you’re going to get sick again. But if you one time take that Token, you’ve had It forever. “Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby you are sealed until the Day of your Redemption.” Not to the next revival; you wasn’t sealed; you got emotionally worked up. “But you are dead, and your life is hid in God, through Christ, and you are sealed by the Holy Ghost.” If you are once baptized into that Holy Spirit! Now, you can backslide, that is true. But you can’t get away from that Seal. You’re sealed into It.

How many believes He's infinite?

Share

In the Book of Ephesians the 1st chapter, the Bible said that God predestinated us to be the adoption of the children of God through Jesus Christ, predestined by foreknowledge. God knowed everybody would be saved before even the world was created. Jesus never come to the earth to die, and be pitiful, and say, "Somebody will take mercy on me, and say, 'Well, He died, I guess I'll come.'" I wouldn't run my office like that, and you wouldn't either. How about God?

God sent Jesus here to call those who by foreknowledge He knew would come. Certainly He did. God... If He wasn't infinite, He didn't know. But if He was infinite, He knowed every fly, every flea, everything else that'd ever be on the earth, if He's infinite God... How many believes He's infinite? 
Tell me what 'infinite' means. There wasn't one thing that ever was on the earth, but what He knowed it before the world was created. He said so. Then He knows... He's not willing that any should perish, but His foreknowledge let Him know who would perish and who wouldn't.

That's when you really love Him

Share

And if I am cast away at that day, and I knowed…I cannot see where I would be. But if I knew that I was wrong, and God has chose me to be wrong, I would want to stay wrong, and because that I want to do His will. It’s, I love Him till I want His will to be done. Now, that’s a big statement, but I hope you get it in the way, the spirit I said it in. See, I want to do His will. I ask Him for something some time, He shakes His head “no,” I just rejoice so much about that as I can if He said “yes.” Because, we always ought to ask, “Thy will be done.” His noes is just as…if that’s His will, that’s just… It’s a whole lot better than His yesses, if it’s His will to do it. That’s when you really love Him. Amen.

I get to talking about Him, I just can’t stop. Oh, He is so real, so real to me!

Believe the Message of the Bible!

Now, you people that’s listening to This, on tape, you women, you men, you listen a minute. If you ever believed me, you believe It now.

It’s time for to quit fussing with one another. Believe the Message of the Bible! Believe Jesus Christ! And love, and honor, and respect one another. Men respect your wives. You respect your homes. Bring your home together, because, remember, this Lamb was for the home, not just one; for the whole home, too, had to be brought. Everything had to be brought in. We should love each other. And believers should separate themselves from the world.

Notice, they were not just yet come together to talk about the message. They come together to apply the blood, to apply the token.

Don't be scared

And don’t be afraid. He’s at… No matter how many atomic bombs they have, how many hydrogen bombs, and how much they speak of this and this is going to happen. Don’t be scared. God’s at the wheel. He knows just how to steer. He knows just how it’s coming out. So we don’t have one thing to fear, but be just a lovely, little carefree child, who’s looking up to Father every minute, and depending on Him to lead us, guide us, and to take us into our destination by His grace.

And by loving Him that way, you wouldn’t do nothing to harm Him. Why, if you’d do anything to harm Him, or all through the night, your hot tears would run down your cheeks in repentance. Because you wouldn’t hurt Father for nothing. Would you… You wouldn’t hurt your little baby; you’d hate to do that. You’d hate to hurt the feelings of your wife or your husband. How much more your Lord and Saviour?

Let us be sure now, while we are in our right mind. And in the church, and amongst the people, where the Holy Spirit so has identified Hisself with us, let's be sure that everything is all right, and stays all right, before Him. 16  Don't you stop. Don't rest, day and night, until that quickening Power has brought you from the things of the world, into the Kingdom of God. And you that truly are brought into the Kingdom of God and quickened by the Spirit of God, how happy! With tears of joy we should be on our knees, day and night, thanking God for what He's done.

Everything obeys God

Share

Every demon will obey God. It has to. Everything obeys God. And it’ll obey you if you have faith.

Joshua stopped the sun. Is that true? Somebody said, “All things are possible with God, nothing impossible.” But all things are possible to you also. Nothing impossible to them that believe. All things are possible. Brought right down and made you, if you just know Who God was.

Well, I’m afraid that the Church doesn’t know their authority. I’m afraid that Holy Ghost born men doesn’t realize their authority where—or the authority that God has permitted to His Church. “I’ll give unto thee the keys to the Kingdom. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, whatever you loose will be loosed. I give you power over serpents, and over all kinds of diseases, oh, everything, and nothing shall harm you.” Exercise your faith. Let it loose. Let God have His way. God will grant it to you.

You walk just the same

The thing for you to take, is to know that when Christ is in your heart, when the great trials and troubles come on, He is still sweet to you. You walk just the same. If everything is going wrong, and everybody is against you, and everything turn this way, you’re still sweet and lovely. It’s all right. Moving right on. “And you, your spirit, bearing record with His Spirit, that you’re sons and daughters of God.” If that doesn’t echo in your soul, tonight, friend, let’s not be marked out of the Kingdom of God. Let’s get in the Kingdom of God.

Your faith is the only thing can do it

Jesus promised these things would happen in the last days, that God would return in the form of human flesh, like you and I here tonight, and would work that same thing just before the world would be destroyed. And the world would be like a Sodom. See? Now we got the Sodom condition right; every position, every person, everything setting just exactly right.

Now can’t our faith come to that? Can’t we call Him on the scene? Call Him on the scene. Your faith is the only thing can do it. Now you believe with all your heart, each one of you now.

If you ever leave the camp of your own reasoning that's the place you'll find God

Share

Sometimes God asks us to do foolish things, to our own thinking. And if you ever leave the camp of your own reason, that’s the place you’ll find God.

Notice, as they went out into the wilderness, there were miracles, signs, when they moved into this camp. Now remember, they left Egypt’s camp and moved out into the wilderness with God’s camp. How do you know it was? God said, “Your people shall sojourn for four hundred years, but I’ll bring them out with a mighty hand, and I’ll give them this land here.” And they were on their road, by a vindicated Light, a vindicated prophet, with signs, wonders, that God was in the camp, and they were on their road. They had a Pillar of Fire. They had a prophet. They had manna. They had living waters. Amen! They had changed, changed campgrounds. They had to do it. They couldn’t see those things in Egypt. They had to change the campgrounds, in order to see the supernatural.

So will the people of this day have to change the camp from them denominations that say, “The days of miracles is past. There is no such a thing as the baptism of the Holy Ghost. And all these Scriptures are wrong; and they work for another age.” You’ll have to change your campgrounds, go beyond that camp, to where all things are possible.

Together we could be expressed to the world that we have love one for another

Share

In traveling, I think if there’s any great thing that I’ve seen missing in the church today, to one of the greatest hindrance in the church today, there’s—keep a revival back, is the lack of that godly love that Christ expressed when He was here on earth.

It’s easy for you and I to love somebody that loves us. But Jesus didn’t have that kind of love. He had God’s love, and God loved His enemies. For God so loved the world; when the world was unlovable, God still loved the world.

It’s a different, even in the expression in the—the words, the—the—a “phileo” love, like we have one for another. But the “agapao” love is a Divine love.

And if there’s anything that I believe that would start a revival in Los Angeles, would be a time that we could all break down our different barriers and come together as Christians in love. That’s the Pentecostals, the Baptists, and the Presbyterians. And all together we could be expressed to the world that we have love one for another.

Jesus prayed that prayer that we might love one another as He loved us—as He loved us! And He loved us so much that He died for us. No one could love like that unless they—with the natural love, because it would not hold out. It won’t express itself. It’ll do as long as there’s friendship connected with it. But when the friendships turn, then people begin to say, “Well, he did so-and-so. She did so-and-so. They backslid, they…” Real godly love goes after that backslider till it finds him. Godly love goes and stoops to the lowest of hell to pick up a man or a woman that’s fallen.

That’s what we’re lacking today. We have a fine cultured church, educated, fine dressed, fine buildings, nice choirs, beautiful music, some of the best the world’s ever had. But we are dying for some of that godly love.

Shalom to you!

When man see you living like Him, when he sees your character and your conduct with the Word just exactly like He was, the Word being manifested, then man will see Jesus Christ. They won’t have to look around anywhere else, say, “What does this creed teach, what does that creed teach?” They’ll know what God is when they see you.

Shalom, God’s peace be Light upon you! And when God’s Word is vindicated in this age, completely, and you see It and believe It, shalom to you!

Face the new year with this, put Him as David said, “I’ll put Him always before me. Because He is on my right hand, I shall not be moved.” If you meet death this year, what difference does it make? God promised He would raise you up. If an accident kills you, what difference does it make? You have Eternal Life, “I’ll raise him up at the last days.” Amen. What if anything happens? No matter what it is, nothing can separate us from the love of God, that’s in Christ. “Hunger, peril, nakedness, no matter what it is, nothing can separate us from the love of God, that’s in Christ.” And He is the Word. Shalom!

What did the fiery furnace do?

Share

Oh, yes, He permits crosses and crossroads and junctions. He always does that, in order to perfect us for His service. He permits those things to happen. Can’t you understand that? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] He does that so He can perfect you for the calling He has called you for. That’s your growing pains. He did Daniel that way, you know.

He did the Hebrew children, in the fiery furnace. What did the fiery furnace do? The fiery furnace only broke the bands that had them bound. That’s all the furnace did, just burnt loose the bands.

Sometimes it takes trials to break the bands of the world off of us, take you out of the world. Might be, have to take you out of your creed, first. Like the man drowning in the river, you have to take him out of the river before you get the river out of the man. That’s about the way God has to do sometime. Let them throw you out, one time, then they get the world out of you. Got to—got to get you out of the world, first. Sometimes these growing pains is what does that. Oh, yes.

Be kind to them

Share

And if there’s anything that we ought to be, is kind to one another. When you see a brother or sister in fault, don’t never—don’t never breathe it to nobody. Keep it to yourself and pray for that person. Be kind to them. And if the Spirit of God is in you, then you will be kind to one another.

And we are about the Master’s business as He was about the Father’s business. And the same Spirit that He had to begin the works of the Father and to finish the atonement, to make a way that we could carry the message, if that Spirit’s in you, you’ll have that same attitude towards people: trying to do what you can to help them, no matter who they are or where they are. You’ll try to help people. Amen. That’s kinda strong, but that’s truth. That’s right. It… Rather, friends, it’s the time has come where we’re nearing the end. And something’s got to be done.

There's got to be a Deep to respond to the call

(Question) I have lived—I have lived many years in sin until I found the Lord. Please, Brother Branham…(See?)…I have sinned again and I’m not worthy to come before you in this holy place. Please tell me if I can be restored whole again. Yes.

(Answer) You have not sinned, my friend, so far in God but what you could be restored. If you had sinned so far that you could not be restored, you’d never want to be restored. See? See? But as long as there is Something dealing with your heart, you’re still in line of restoration. “Guilty of the least is guilty of the whole.” I have sinned many times, every day every one of us do things that we don’t want to do. It’s in our heart…You don’t want to be that way or you wouldn’t ask this question. See? That’s itself a proof that God still is dealing with you. You’ve probably gotten nervous, probably Satan telling you that you can’t be restored. He’s lying, certainly, he is. Because, look, if there is a deep, calling, there’s got to be a Deep to respond to the call. If there’s a hunger for Something, that Something’s got to be somewhere or you would have no hunger for It. See?

We come from somewhere, and we're going back again by that Power that's a pulling us

Share

But, it must be that it's the—the congealing of humidity or atmosphere. And when the night gets cold and dark, it falls from the heavens and drops upon the ground. It's fell from somewhere. But the next morning before the sun comes up, it's laying there, the little fellow, shivering. But just let the sun come up, watch it go to shining. It's happy. Why? The sun is going to call it right back to where it come from. And that's the way with a Christian. Hallelujah! We know when we walk into the Presence of God, something in us tells us that we come from somewhere, and we're going back again by that Power that's a pulling us. The little dewdrop, he glistens and shines and shouts, because he knows he come from up there, and that sun is going to draw him right back up again. And a man that's an attribute of God, born of God, knows, hallelujah, when he come in contact with the Son of God, he is going to be drawed up from here someday.

For the Word of God came to the prophets only

Share

Now, He didn’t have to write It that way, neither did He have to save man by Blood. He didn’t have to preach the Gospel by man; He could let the sun or the moon or the stars preach the Gospel, He could let the winds hum the Gospel. But He chose man! And He chose the way His Word came, and that was by His prophets which were predestinated and foreordained, being a part of God’s Word, declaring the revelation of His Word to that age and that time. “For the Word of God came to the prophets only.” Never does It come to a theologian. Show me the Scripture. It comes only to prophets. God cannot lie. So God wrote the Bible by His chosen method, and His Own chosen prophets; not the prophets man had chose, but the prophets God had chose.

Don't judge a man because he can pray a prayer of faith for the sick and they get well. Don't judge a man because he might do some supernatural miracle, as being a sainted person. But the only way that you can judge is by the love that they have for Christ and for each other. 38  And do you see what the Holy Spirit has to bring to the Father, that we're all separated and no love for each other.

For that’s what God wants us to do, all of us in our different denominations, is to recognize one another as brothers and sisters, rallying around this great Gift of God, which is the Holy Ghost, that comes with power and manifestation and demonstrations of His Presence. Then there would not be one cruel word spoken against any move of God. We’d all be one, in one great big bundle of godly love. That’s what it’s going to take for the Church to go in the rapture.

It takes love to do that

Share

Now, that maniac on the platform that night, was going to kill me, up in Oregon. That man, I—when he come to me, instead of…him spitting in my face and calling me a “snake in the grass” before nearly ten thousand people, well, it wasn’t that, it wasn’t the man. He’s a man that eats, drinks, sleeps, perhaps with a family, and loves, and—and just like I am or you are. But it was that devil in him that was doing that. See? And you never cast a devil out by the wrong attitude. It takes love to do that. And love is the most powerful force that there is in the world. Now, if you notice, a devil is always hate. Hate is of the devil. And when people hate someone, remember, it is a terrible devil to despise or dislike. You mustn’t do that.
