I come down to take over

Share

The earth knew it was Him. It shook with a great earthquake when He died. The moon and sun hid their face. The very Creator of them was dying on Calvary. The sun went out in the middle of the day. I seen Him go right on down to the doors of hell. Oh, I feel religious tonight. Look brother... I seen... I know what I'm talking about. I'm not lost in the fog. No, sir. I know right where I'm standing. Yes, sir. And He descended right on down into the lower regions of hell, knocked on the door. [Brother Branham knocks--Ed.] Satan comes, said, "Who's there?" Said, "Open up." "Who are you? "Open up." Satan opens up says, "Oh, so you finally arrived, did you? " Said, "I thought I had you when I killed Abel. When I throwed Daniel in the lions den, I thought I got you. I thought I got you when I put the Hebrew children in the fiery furnace. When I beheaded John the Baptist, I thought I had you, but now, I got you. You're here. You arrived, did you? "Satan," said Jesus, "give Me the key of death and hell. You don't possess them." "Oh, yes I do. I possess them, because back yonder in the garden of Eden, Adam sinned. But He said, "I'm the virgin born Son of God." I come down from the Father's bosom. I've just died yonder on Calvary, and My Blood's still dripping from the cross. I come down to take over." That's right. You ain't scaring nobody from this on. You was a bluff one time. You had Him, but you haven't got Him any more. I'm the possessor. That's right. I'll give My church the keys to the Kingdom. Reached over on his side, pulled the keys off of him, smacked him in the face, and sent him back, and shut the door so hard it shook the pegs of hell in his eyes. Hallelujah.

Thy will be done

He said to His disciples, wearied. They'd had lots of big meetings, was tired, perhaps like you are this morning. But He said, "Will you just watch with Me an hour? Where I've got to go yonder and have a conference. I have to go alone." And when they... The conference was set. And the Lamb, young, a beautiful Life... Never a Life like that, never was, never will be, a Life like that, the Lamb had. But now the Father said, "Are you willing? Is Your love for Your brethren great enough? Is Your love for that sinful stinking world that You were borned in, do You love them enough to forfeit Your Life? Do You love them enough to take their place, to bear their sins to the hardest crucial death..." You... There could be nothing die that kind of death but Him. And in that conference, such a decision was made, until blood dropped from His brow. He was under a strain. The sins of the world was upon Him. And then He looked into the face of the Dove, and said, "Not My will, but Thy will be done."

Walk with God

Share

Just walk unconscious of fear. Walk unconscious of criticism. Walk unconscious of the world. Walk as you walk in Christ. Walk with Him, not paying any attention to right or left hand, just keep moving on. If something comes up in the church, walk with God. Hallelujah. If sickness strikes you, walk with God. If the neighbor don't like you, walk with God. Just keep on walking with God. Enoch, one day walked like that. You know what he done? He walked all the way home with God; got so far up the road, he didn't want to come back any more. Amen. Walk with God. Doctor says you're going to die; walk with God. Yeah. Doctor says you can't... well; walk with God. Just walk with God; that's all. For God has promised you, "I'll never leave you or forsake you. I'll be with you to the end of the world." And He took an oath by that covenant that He give you, that He'd confirm it. Just walk with God then. You'll have your ups-and-downs. Don't worry. You got to go through brier patches, over sharp rocks, over bluffs, down on the hillsides, up through the mountains, over waters; but walk with God. Yes, sir. "There's so many hills to climb upward," you've heard the old song, "but how little it'll seem when you get to the end of the way." My, my. Just look at there, all that's been. Look back at your footprints; won't be very much.

The Lord Thy God is with thee wheresoever thou goest

I'm going to ask you to be reverent, be quiet, not stir around. I don't care for your praising God, of course... you can. That's been one thing that's worried me; why is it people in America, they can see the Lord working and set dead still and never move and set like they was a bump on a pickle. I--I can't understand that, looks to me like... It thrills my soul till I... Oh, it looks to me like I could scream to the top of my voice, "Jesus lives." Why, I'm a mortal; I'm here in the world. What am I? Where'd I come from? Where am I going? And Jesus come and said, "I'll be your Compass; I'll be your Guide." He's raised from the dead, don't worry. "When old age...?... don't worry about that. When sickness strikes, don't worry, I'm here. Be not dismayed; neither be thou afraid, for the Lord Thy God is with thee wheresoever thou goest." Amen.

You never heard of one of them having high blood pressure, did you?

You know, I--I was telling the boys awhile ago coming over, I said about how we must be happy all the time. God don't want you to be sad. You know what ill temper does? And that old temper, that's one of the awfulest old things. And it--it's about sixty percent of the cause of all sickness is temper. Yes, sir, them tam--tantrums you fly loose, remember, you just developing a cancer, ulcer, or something like, when you do it. When you get all stewed up about somebody, "I won't go back there any more. Wait till I give them a piece of my mind." All right. Remember, you're the one's going to pay for it. Just keep happy. The little story, said there was a little robin one morning, setting up on a limb, whistling over to his little mate. The little mate flew down by him and said, "You know, I'm so--I'm so worried this morning about one thing." Said, "What?" Said, "We robins never worry." "But I just wonder if those poor creatures, the human beings, that frown on their faces, they walk, I wonder, maybe they haven't got a heavenly Father that watches over them like we have, us robins." That's about it. You never heard of one of them having high blood pressure, did you?

Nothing impossible with you, if you'll believe

Look. Deity... I'm a part of Charles Branham, because I was born from Charlie Branham, my daddy. I'm a part of him. I've got a forehead like him. My hair was like him. I'm a small man like him. I'm in the nature like him, because he's my dad. And if we become in spirit sons of God, Deity dwells in the man. Hallelujah! Then you talk about blind eyes being open. They said nothing impossible to God. God said nothing impossible with you, if you'll believe, not with God, but you. Deity's in man. The very God that stood back there on the mythical platform of the eternities, and rolled worlds off of His hands, and created these things give you the privilege to be His son, and you're a part of Him. And God dwells in mankind, and man himself is Deity. Hallelujah! There you are. It might choke you, but study over that a little while. See?

I'm saved because I met God's conditions

Share

You say, "Well, glory to God, I got saved because I quit drinking. Glory to God, I had a shiver run down my back. I had a rushing, mighty wind to hit me in the face. Do you believe that, Brother Branham?" Sure. But I want to see where that rushing, mighty wind come from first. See? That's right, truly. That's shiver's all right, but I'm not saved because I had a shiver, and not because I had a rushing, mighty wind. "You don't believe in that, brother?" Yes, I do. But wait a minute; let's back up here just a little bit. The devil's got some counterfeits along there. I'm saved because I met God's conditions. He called me, and I knew He called me. I accepted Him on His Word; therefore, I can tell Satan, "THUS SAITH THE LORD." When Jesus was here on earth, He Was God; He was Immanuel. God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself. He never used any of His great gifts; when He met Satan, He said, "It's written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone.' It's written, 'Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.'" And He defeated him. That's it; know the Scripture. Satan knows It too, but you got to know how to rightly divide the Word of God. See?
