JESUS.CHRIST.THE.SAME 63-0627 56 Now, if Jesus Christ will appear before us tonight, and we can see by God-given principles, and by the very acts of His Being, that He's here, then we should at least accept Him, make Him welcome. Now, that's a great big statement, but we have a great big God that keeps every one of His Words. And when we find anything in the Bible, hang your soul on it. It's the Truth. Just stay right with what God promised. God will do.

GOD.WHO.IS.RICH.IN.MERCY 65-0119 109 …His Word always comes to pass in Its season, His seed that He has sowed into the earth. What did He do? He put it here in the Word, and that's a Seed. And every time the age comes along, that seed ripens up, and then a reformation comes forth

1. There is a predestinated mystery in redemption and salvation

II TIMOTHY 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

2. Vengeance.

Rom. 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

EXPLAINING.HEALING & JAIRUS 54-0216 23 …Satan does not tempt down in here (soul), he tempts out here in the flesh. For instance, you go down the street tomorrow, you're walking along singing Christian songs, and somebody says, "You know, she or he, is just a hypocrite (talking about you.); there's nothing..." Now, the first thing, your flesh picks that up in the ear, and it suggest to the mind, "Get even with him." Time it gets back here, he says, this back here says, "'Vengeance… repay.'" So Satan tempts out here. He doesn't get down here, because is immortal. It's the flesh that he tempts.

3. The Lord fights for His people.

Ex. 14:14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

JEREMIAH 1:19 And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.

Joshua 10 Story of the 5 kings who came against Israel.

JOB 23:13 But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.

He doesn’t wink at sin!

END.TIME.EVANGELISM 62-0603 161 Then God's standing there like a great pressure. You can't exhaust God. …Could you imagine a little fish about that long, swimming out in the middle of the ocean, saying, "I better drink of this water sparingly, because, you know, it might go dry sometime"? …He wants to bless you. He's ready; He's pressing. Could you imagine taking all the waters in the earth, the seas and everything, and piling it in one four-foot pipe and put it up there? The pressure would be on the bottom of it, trying to find a little crevice to leak its way through. That's like the pressure of the Holy Spirit trying to come down on every life.

333-3 - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK "These things saith the Faithful and True Witness." Now I want to show you what I find in the thought of "faithful". …And when we speak of Him after that manner we often get a view of Him that makes Him seem very impersonal. It is as though God made the whole universe and all the laws that pertain to it and then stood back and became a great impersonal God. It is as though God made a way of salvation for lost mankind, that way being the cross, and then when the death of Christ has atoned for our sins, and His resurrection gave us an open door to Him, God just folded His arms and stood back. It is as if we majored in believing in a great Creator, Who having created, lost personal interest in His creation. But that is wrong thinking, for God is GOVERNING IN THE AFFAIRS OF MEN RIGHT NOW. HE IS BOTH CREATOR AND SUSTAINER. Colossians 1:16-17. "For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers; all things were created by Him, and for Him: And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist." He is a Sovereign God. By His own counsel He purposed the plan of the salvation of His own elect which He foreknew. …He is working all things at this moment according to the purpose of His own will. He is right in the midst of it all. He is in the midst of His church. This great Creator, Saviour-God is faithfully working amongst His own right now as the great Shepherd of the sheep. His very existence is for His own. He loves them and cares for them. His eye is ever upon them. When the Word says that "your lives are hid with Christ in God" it means exactly what it says. Oh, I am so glad that my God abides faithful. He is true to Himself, He won't lie. He is true to the Word, He will back it up. He is true to us, He will lose none of us, but raise us up in the last day. I am glad that I am resting in His faithfulness. Philippians 1:6. "Being confident of this very thing, that He Which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the Day of Jesus Christ."

WORKS.IS.FAITH.EXPRESSED 65-1126 99 Well, that's the same way with preaching Divine healing or anything else.…You've got to learn, and you've got to learn how to accept God and what it really means. We… sometimes say, "Well, this guy didn't have enough faith; this guy didn't do this and this. There's a reason there for that. Sometime it's unconfessed sin. You could pour a gallon of oil on a person, and scream till you got hoarse; it would never move that devil. You've got to confess that. That's what discernment does, say, "Go make that right; bring that out."

I CORINTHIANS 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

JESUS.CHRIST.THE.SAME 58-0207 64 The psychic word is all right, just to speak and preach... But listen. It's come to a time. See? It's come to a time where the God Who raised up Jesus Christ... The God of Elijah still lives. Certainly He does. Look …many of you folks have walked with Him daily and didn't realize what it was. Those who love Him, Cleopas and his friend going to Emmaus. They'd walked all day and talked with Him; they didn't know Who He was. His resurrection day, three days before He was watching down on the cross, and here these the same Man... How many knows that God can shut eyes or open eyes? Certainly He can.

WHO.IS.THIS.MELCHISEDEC 65-0221E 50 …God's sovereign. Who was back yonder to tell Him a better way to make the world? ... Even the revelation is sovereign. He reveals to whom He will reveal. The very revelation itself is sovereign in God. That's how people pound at things, and jump at things, and hit at things, and not knowing what they're doing.

MARY'S.BELIEF 60-0311 21 Zacharias the priest, the husband of her cousin, he doubted that same Angel, when He said after the days of the ministration at the temple, he would go home and live with his wife, Elisabeth, and she'd bring a son. And he said, "I'm too old, it can't be done." Oh, he just doubted it. And he had Abraham and Sarah to look at; he had Hannah at the temple, and Eli her husband to think of. But that callous priest doubted God's Word.

But as Brother Shakarian said the other day, over in the island, when I saw my mother-in-law die, five days before it happened. And my brother-in-law have a hemorrhage, and spit blood out from his mouth, just squirted from his mouth. Brother Simore said, 'Let us go in and pray, that this won't happen." I said, "It won't do one bit of good. God has already said it; it's got to happen." God, when He says anything, it's impossible for it not to happen. Therefore when God says in the Book, "All things are possible to them that believe," it's got to happen! No way to explain it away. You can believe God will perform every promise that He made.

WHO.DO.YOU.SAY.THIS.IS? 64-1227 82 …God would take His Word that He promised for this day, and anoint It, and It would happen. There's no way to keep It from happening. It'll do it anyhow, no matter what the church says and what the rest of them believes and it... God will do it anyhow. There'll be just a very few that'll ever know about it. It's always was that way.

RESURRECTION.OF.LAZARUS 50-0813A 24 Notice that the Angel of God will perform His Word. He'll bring His Word to pass regardless. When the season comes, harvesters are ripe, God is going to send His Word and perform His things. I believe that God is going to call a people out of the Gentiles for His Name in this great latter movement here of a revival sweeping the nation. And if the holiness people don't want it, He will raise it up out of something else. That's right. It's got to be. It's got to come. He's able of these stones to rise children unto Abraham.

MODERN.EVENTS.MADE.CLEAR.BY.PROPHECY _ 65-1206 73 The Word always comes to His prophet. …It's got to come God's channeled route that He foretold us about, and that's the only way It'll ever come. It'll be hated, despised, rejected. When It does come, It'll be throwed out to one side and everything, but God will do it anyhow. It was rejected in Jesus Christ; in John; Jeremiah; Moses. It's always that way. But God moves right on in the way that He promised He would do it. He never does fail to do it the same way.

NOAH: COURT.TRIAL 64-0412 36 "Well, prophet Noah, we always knowed you was a false prophet, 'cause you've got foolish ideas that don't cope with science. It don't cope with the modern trend. ... There's something wrong. We know that you're not really a prophet, but you said it was going to rain. That was a month ago. No rain yet." Two years passed. "Hey, hey, prophet. I thought you said that God said so." "He did say so." "Well, two years has passed." Five, twenty, fifty years... The ark's completed, Noah setting in the door. Here comes Mr. Scoffer, Mr. Unbeliever, Mr. Skeptic, Mr. Impatient. "Well, now where is the rain?" "God said it was going to rain. He didn't say when. He said it was going to rain. He didn't say when; He just said, 'It's going to rain. Get an ark; you'd be safe in it. It's going to rain.' He didn't say when it was going to rain. He said it's going to rain. And I've built the ark."

PROVING.HIS.WORD 65-0426 28 …It's the attitude that always brings the results. It's the attitude that you take towards God. Here's a woman touched His garment; she was healed with a blood issue. A soldier spit in His face, and put a crown of thorns on His head, and felt no virtue. It's your approach. The attitude is what it takes. …We are, and believe that we are in the Presence of Jesus Christ, but it's your attitude that brings the results. The mechanics is here and so is the dynamics. If you can just get started, God will do the rest.

JEHOVAH.JIREH.3 60-0803 17 Well, next coming was an old Indian woman, looked to be about seventy-five years old with broom sticks cut off for crutches, and rags wrapped around a stick that went over the part went over her arms. And she was holding herself like this in the door. And I motioned to her. And she put one stick out like that, and moved her foot, then the other one. I just took my time, and waited for her. And she come up close to where I was, and I thought, "What's the old lady going to do?" And I seen her hair hanging down, old leather platted in it, you know, and turning gray. I thought, "Poor old thing, probably raised a bunch of children. How pitiful. Wished I could speak her language."

And she looked up to me like that, and them little bitty, deep set eyes, turning kindly a pale looking, great big wrinkles in the cheeks, and tears cutting their way down through them wrinkles. Oh, my heart just went out to the old thing. And she looked at me like that, kindy smiled, reached over and got one crutch and put it in the other hand, and handed them over to me, and went walking off the platform just like anybody else. Now, I tell you, just no prayer; she didn't ask for any. Her faith made her well.

GOD.HAS.A.PROVIDED.LAMB 64-0620E 81 I remember, one night coming from Dallas, Texas. I was grounded at Memphis. …And I'd slept good through the night, and got up the next morning, had written some letters, was going down to the post office to mail them. I went out and started down the street. And all of a sudden, I felt Something said, "Stop, and go back." …And as I walked back, faster, faster, and I passed right on by the hotel and went down towards the river, way down.

86 You believe being led of God? And as I went on down along, I knowed I had to hurry, but Something just kept saying, "Go on, go on." And as I went along down the street, I looked, and there was an old typical Aunt Jemima leaning out over her little fence, and a little, colored house there, a little, whitewashed cabin like, leaning out over the fence. She said, "Good morning, parson." I said, "Good morning, auntie." 92 I looked back, and I thought, "How did she know I was a parson?" And I didn't have a Bible or nothing. I turned back. I said, "How did you know I was a parson?" She said, "I knowed you was coming." And I said, "Kinda strange to me." And she said, "Did you ever read in the Bible about the Shunammite woman?" …Said, "And she promised the Lord, and she was going to raise that baby to the Lord, of course." And said, "You know, I was that kind of a woman." She said, "I couldn't have no children, the husband and I." And said, "I promised the Lord, if He'd give me a baby, that I would raise it for Him." And said, "He gave me a baby." And said, "I raised that boy the best I could, to serve the Lord." She said, …he got in the wrong company, and he got a disease …social disease," syphilis.

96 And said, "I just can't stand to see my baby die like that." And she said, "I prayed all night, 'Lord, if You're going to take him... You give him to me; but I want to hear him say he's saved, so I know I'd meet him again.'" And said, "I prayed, and I prayed the prayer like about mentioned the Shunammite woman. I went to sleep, and I dreamed a dream." She said, "And I said to the Lord, said, 'You give me the baby.' And said, 'I was like the Shunammite woman, but where is Your prophet?' ... He said, 'Look, coming here.' And I seen a man with a little hat setting on the side of his head, wearing that gray suit, coming down the street." And said, "That was about four o'clock this morning." She said, "I've been standing here ever since." He's still God. He answers on both ends.

99 I said, "My name is Branham. I pray for the sick. Did you ever hear of my ministry?"

She said, "No, sir, Parson Branham, I never did hear of you." And she said, "Won't you come in?"

…And I've been in some of the finest homes, I guess, in Hollywood. But I never was any more welcome than I was in that one. 110 And I said, "Auntie, will you pray first?" And, my friend, I knowed she'd talked to Him before. Oh, what a prayer she made to God. Then she said, "Will you pray?" "Yes, ma'am."

I said, "Heavenly Father, I'm at least a hour late for the plane. You told me to come down here, and just keep coming. And then I don't know whether this is where You wanted me, or not, but this is where I've stopped. If You sent me to pray for this boy..." And about that time, he said, "Oh, mama!"

She said, "What does mama's baby want?" Said, "It's getting light in the room." About five minutes, he was setting up on the bed.

114 I rushed out, went on down. I thought, "Well, I can just only get a cab; that's all; and wait over a day, or whenever I can get another plane." Just as I was going into the gate, two hours and something late, I heard him say, "Last call for flight number sixty-seven, to Louisville, Kentucky."

What? The sovereignty of God! See? The prayer and faith of that poor, little, insignificant Negro woman, grounded that plane and held it there. He's the same God that could stop and turn around to a blind beggar at the walls of Jericho. He's the same God yesterday, today, and forever. It's faith that does it. He wants you to believe it. 117 By the way, about two years later I was going through there on a train, going, coming back to Phoenix.

WHY.SO.HARD.TO.LIVE.CHRISTIAN.LIFE 57-0303A 55 Oh, brother, intellectual will never do it. Mental conception will never do it. It's the work of the Holy Spirit that brings the human being to his place. "I promise Eternal Life to them that believe." "I believe, Holy Spirit." "I'll seal You." Then watch your life begin to move, not the church, the Holy Spirit; not the denomination, the Holy Spirit.

COUNTDOWN 62-0909 15 And I pray and thank You for giving us good rest in our bodies, and for the knowledge that we have of Your Word, and the understanding we have of the Spirit, and constantly praying that You'll give us greater understanding so that we might not be a vain, puffed up people by it, but a humble people, in order that the Holy Spirit might be able to use us to the fulfilling of the Word of God, and to place us positionally where we need to be at this hour. For we must be at the right place for it to happen. And we want to be, Lord. If it's a housewife behind the table, if it's a factory man with a wrench in his hand, and a testimony, if it's for the minister in the pulpit, or the deacon or trustee, or for the child at school, the teenager in the discussion at the class, wherever it is, Lord, let us be there at the right time. For we know You've promised it, and it's going to happen because You said so, and, why, it's our faith is built there.

RESPECTS 61-1015E 53 And that, and because that God is God, He deserves a respect. That's right. And He, we've got to respect Him and give a fear to Him, and that brings respect. God has demanded that for Himself and for all His servants. God demands respects for His servants. His servants, how we know that they're His servants, because He a-vindicates these servants by His Word. He takes these servants and makes them servants of God, and proves that they are servants, by making His Word work through them servants. Then as you respect that servant, you respect God. So when I respect you, and you respect me, and we respect each other, then we're respecting God.

Story of Bro. Branham Demanding an Answer from God:

WARNING.THEN.JUDGMENT 63-0724 132 Now, I want to show you another Jonah in the platform tonight. One night there was a people that come here.... Just one of those kind of people that when a revival was going on they could come to church; when the revival was off, and the load was pulling, nobody would pull.

Can the--can the clay say to the potter, "Why did you make me thus?" See? Certainly not. But if the prophet will keep still and then seek the Lord for the answer, there's the answer there.
