26-0501A_TAKING GOD AT HIS WORD PT-5 (STAYING WITH CHRIST IN THE WORD)

Mat 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

Mat 4:24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.

Heb 12:8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
Heb 12:9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
Heb 12:10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
Heb 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

*... GOD DOESN'T TEMPT MEN, BUT GOD TRIES MEN, TESTS THEM. GOD CANNOT TEMPT YOU, BUT GOD CAN TEST YOU.

GOD.IN.HIS.WORD_ OAKLAND.CA SATURDAY_ 57-0323

E-14 Now, God doesn't tempt men, but God tries men, tests them. God cannot tempt you, but God can test you. And every son that cometh to God must be tested or child-trained before he can be a son. And if we can't stand chastisement, the Bible said we become illegitimate children and not the children of God, 'cause a child of God is borned of God, and he will stand the test anywhere, any time, on any condition (That's right.), a child that's borned of God. He that's borned of God, does not commit sin.

*BUT GOD GAVE MAN A LEADER, THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND WE TURN HIM DOWN. NO WONDER WE'RE IN TROUBLE ALL THE TIME.

GOD.IN.HIS.WORD_ OAKLAND.CA SATURDAY_ 57-0323

E-19 How I love to watch Him in the sunrises and the sunsets. I like to watch Him in His universe. Let's see if He deals and dwells in His universe. How does this world stand here and can be timed for a hundred years when the moon and sun will pass each other? What controls that?

I want to ask you something. I watch wild nature, wild animals. I go way up in the northland on a hunting trip, and while I'm up there, I begin to notice the little ducks that go up into the northland, and they make their nest, up there in the slime, and lay their eggs, and the little ducklings are born. They're raised on that little pond.

Them great big ducks by the time fall of the year comes, and the first time there comes a snow across that mountain, and they freezes, that cold breeze comes down into that pond there's a certain little duck on that pond. He never left there in his life. He was born there. All he knows is that pond, but he will run right out on that pond, stick that little honker up in the air, make three or four honks, and every duck on the pond will come right to him. And he will raise off of that pond, and go just as straight to Louisiana, as he can go without a compass.

*BUT GOD GAVE MAN A LEADER, THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND WE TURN HIM DOWN. NO WONDER WE'RE IN TROUBLE ALL THE TIME.

GOD.IN.HIS.WORD_ OAKLAND.CA SATURDAY_ 57-0323

E-20 Brother, if God isn't in His universe... Surely we ought to have as good intelligence as a duck, but you see duck knows his leader, but man doesn't. God gave a duck an instinct to get away from there, and get away from the freeze, and the duck listens to his leader. But God gave man a Leader, the Holy Spirit, and we turn Him down. No wonder we're in trouble all the time.

Watch God in His universe. You go out here and read the newspaper. And the newspaper will say, "Tomorrow it's going to be pretty weather." And you watch that old sow take the shucks off of the north side of the hill and bring them over on the south side of the hill; don't you pay any attention to what that news commentator's saying. That hog knows more about it than he will ever know and that's right. Certainly. She's got an instinct that God gave her, and she abides by it. But we've got an instinct, not an instinct, but a Leadership, and we're afraid of It. That's the difference.

*HOW THAT GOD DWELLS IN NATURE, HIS UNIVERSE.

GOD.IN.HIS.WORD_ OAKLAND.CA SATURDAY_ 57-0323

E-21 How that God dwells in nature, His universe. How He makes the big hills and the little hills. I have noticed all how... He's a God of variety. He makes white flowers, and blue flowers, and red flowers. He makes little men, big men, black-headed, red-headed, blond-headed; light people, dark people, brown people, black people. He's a God of variety. He's not a Sears and Roebuck harmony house. He is absolutely a God of variety, and I'm glad that He is. He's in His nature, His universe.

How he makes every star to move to its perfection. Everything in the heavens will move at His command. But the man that He made in His image, will turn his back and say, "I don't believe it." That's the difference. That's the reason we're in the condition we are, because ducks know their leader, but we don't know our Leader.

*IF GOD MADE A WAY FOR A FLOWER TO LIVE AGAIN, WHAT ABOUT A MAN THAT'S MADE IN HIS IMAGE?

GOD.IN.HIS.WORD_ OAKLAND.CA SATURDAY_ 57-0323

E-22 Notice. One day I was... I'd go to the mountains, not so much to hunt the wild game, but to be alone. My mother's almost a half Cherokee Indian. And the... My conversion never took that love of the wild out of me. I love it, 'cause I see God in His universe. It was my first teacher to set down by mother nature, and she's taught me of the things of God.

I watch a little flower how it dies and goes into the ground. It may be young. It may be old. But when the frost hits it, it bows its head, commits itself to death. They'll have a funeral procession. The stars weep, and the rains fall. It buries the little flower--the little seed, and all the seed's gone, freezes, bursts open, pulp runs out, stalk's gone, petals gone. Is the flower gone? Never.

GOD.IN.HIS.WORD_ OAKLAND.CA SATURDAY_ 57-0323

E-23 When springtime comes, there's a little germ of life there that no scientist never can or never will find. And just as certain as the spring sun begins to shine, that little flower will live again. If God made a way for a flower to live again, what about a man that's made in His image? See how the resurrection is? Not reincarnation but resurrection, not replacement but bringing up the same that went down.

Oh, I was setting here not long ago eating a little ice cream with an old Methodist minister. And we was listening at the agriculture hour. And it was said that the little 4-H Club had perfected a machine to where it could produce a grain of corn, so perfect, that you could take a handful out of a sack out of the field and a stack that the machine had produced, mix them together; you could never tell them no more apart. Both would make the same kind of corn flakes, same cornmeal. Both of them cut the grains open, the heart was in the center, the same amount of calcium, the same amount of potash, the same amount of petroleum, the skin on it, everything just perfect.

And I said, "Listen to that, Dr. Spurgeon."

He said, "Yes, Billy, I was just listening." He said, "There is one way to find out." Said, "Bury them, and the one that man made never lives again. But the one that God made in the field has a germ of life, and it lives again."

GOD.IN.HIS.WORD_ OAKLAND.CA SATURDAY_ 57-0323

E-24 I said, "Brother Spurgeon, you better hold me. I'll embarrass you right here in this restaurant, 'cause I just got to shout." That's right. You may look like a Christian, act like a Christian, set by a Christian, and belong to a Christian church. But if the germ of the life of the resurrected Christ, isn't in you, you'll die, and that's the finish of it. You'll be gone. But they that are borned again will live again just as certain as God's Word is true.

*IT'S SOMETHING THAT MAN LONGS TO SEE... IT'S JUST THE WAY YOU LOOK AT IT.

GOD.IN.HIS.WORD_ OAKLAND.CA SATURDAY_ 57-0323

E-16 Job stood up and he said, "I know my Redeemer liveth, and the last days He will stand on the earth: though the skin worms destroys this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God." The prophet in the Spirit, things turn.

This same Job longed to see God. One time he said, "If I could only go to his house as it was. If I could knock [Brother Branham knocks--Ed.] on his door." It's something that man longs to see.

And I taken it upon myself tonight by the work of God--the Word of God, and the works of God, to prove to you that every one of you can see God. It's just the way you look at it.

*...YOUR EMOTIONS TOWARDS THE WORD OF GOD IS WHAT WINDS YOU UP WITH THE HOLY GHOST IF YOU’RE TAKING GOD’S WORD. THERE IT IS, THE NEW WATCH.

57-0324 — Why Some People Can't Keep The Victory

121 Hasn’t Jesus said, “Haven’t you heard that the Stone that the builders rejected has become the Chief of the corner?” Certainly, the Mainspring.

122 Now, when the mainspring is in the watch…And this watch is not a self-winding, it’s a God-winding watch. And the only thing you do to—to a self-winding watch, the only way you do, is your emotions with the watch is what winds it; and your emotions towards the Word of God is what winds you up with the Holy Ghost if you’re taking God’s Word. There it is, the new watch.

*THE GREAT WORD OF GOD, AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD TAKING THE WORD OF GOD, REFLECTS JESUS CHRIST IN HEAVENLY PLACES TO HIS SHEEP...

275 God’s sheep feed on His Food, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” And this is It, the Bible. We feed on every Word, not just some of the Words, but every Word that proceedeth. Oh, don’t it make you love Him? To think that now we have Eternal Life! Not we will be, now we are the sons of God. Not we will be, now! And it’s setting together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. And the great television, that declares that there is a ether wave that makes people (the person that travels around the earth) known by the—by the screen of the television. The great Word of God, and the Spirit of God taking the Word of God, reflects Jesus Christ in heavenly places to His sheep, that He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever. Isn’t He wonderful? Wonderful! God bless you.

64-1221 — Why It Had To Be Shepherd

1Jn 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

Heb 12:3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
Heb 12:4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
Heb 12:5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
Heb 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
Heb 12:7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
Heb 12:8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
Heb 12:9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

26-0427P_HIS UNFAILING WORDS OF PROMISE PT-4

Mat 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

Mat 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

Mat 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

Mat 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Ecc 3:14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

Ecc 3:15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.

Ecc 3:16 And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.
Ecc 3:17 I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.
Ecc 3:18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.

*HE'S INFALLIBLE. HE'S OMNIPOTENT, OMNISCIENT, OMNIPRESENT.

THE.INFALLIBILITY.OF.GOD'S.SPOKEN.WORD_CHICAGO.IL WEDNESDAY_ 56-0404

E-15 Before it could be a Word spoken; it has to be a thought. Because a--a word is a thought made manifest when God speaks. Now, back in the beginning when God looked down through the corridors of heaven and saw all the things that were going to happen on the earth... Did you ever set and just draw a picture out in your mind? Now, that's the way God did it, perhaps in the beginning. And then it seemed good to Him, so He spoke it, and as soon as it was spoken it became a Word. The thought was expressed in a word. Now listen, once God expresses His thought and makes it a Word, He can never take It back.

Oh, my. You see it? He can't backup on it. He can't say, "Well, I'm sorry, I made a mistake." He can't. He's infallible. He's omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent. See, you and I, as we grow along, we become educated and smarter and everything. We advance, the human race advance; everything advances but God. He was perfect to begin with; He will be perfect when it's all over; He's still perfect. He can't say, "Well, I got a better way of doing it, because I've learned more." He was perfect to start with. So there--therefore--therefore, teaching Divine healing, how could someone say that God wasn't a Healer. When in the beginning back under the Old Testament, in the old days which were shadows, God could've made it perfect then. But He--He spoke His Word it would this way and it has to be that way. He--that's the best way out. That's the best way to bring people to it, for He knows what is.

*IT BELONGS TO YOU. ANY PROMISE BELONGS TO YOU, IF YOU HAVE FAITH TO APPROPRIATE IT.

123 And if we get ourself lined up with the Word of God, and hold on to it! “What can I, Brother Branham, what can I do to be lined up with the Word of God?” Just take It in your heart and believe It. Every promise is yours. It’s yours. You can have it. It belongs to you.

124 “Every promise in the Book,” you sing, “is mine. Every chapter, every verse, every line. I’m trusting in His love Divine, for every promise in the Book is mine.” See?

125 No matter what the promise is, it’s yours anyhow, because God gave it to you. “Whosoever will, let him come and drink from the fountains, the water of Life, freely.” It’s yours. It belongs to you. Any promise belongs to you, if you have faith to appropriate it. And it’ll do it, if you’ll just believe it.

62-0120 — The Unchangeable God Working In An Unexpectable Way

*YOU MUST COME WITH AN UNFAILING FAITH, BELIEVING THAT GOD MADE THE PROMISE.

Perfect Faith_ 63-0825E

28 Abraham had to believe just what that Voice told him. And when he was a hundred years old, twenty-five years later, he was stronger believing It than he was twenty-five years ago when It was give to him. See? He believed It. And “He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong, giving praise to God, knowing that He was able to perform what He had promised.” And that’s the way, every one must be that way. You must come with an unfailing faith, believing that God made the promise. But now, you have to be in a position to have that faith, and that’s what we’re going to talk on; see, to receive that faith.

*NOAH... HE BUILT AWAY ON THE ARK, IN THE TIME OF CRITICISM. HIS.UNFAILING.WORDS.OF.PROMISE_ PHOENIX.AZ V-15 N-3 MONDAY_ 64-0120

48 Noah. It was hard for the people to understand Noah in his days. He heard God speak. He knew it was the Word, because he was God's prophet. God sent him forth, to claim, "A great flood coming!" He built away on the ark, in the time of criticism. Made no difference to Noah, how many criticized. He was the light of that day. He was the Word of God manifested for that day; for, God destroyed the people.

49 Moses, a great, highly polished theologian, great man, borned to be a prophet; yet, in all of his theology and his--his book knowledge of God, could not deliver the children of Israel by knowledge.

50 You see, the prophet cannot go by knowledge. He's got to go by inspiration. Inspiration!

*GO RIGHT DOWN. IF YOU HOLD THE WORD, YOU GOT HIS HAND.

FELLOWSHIP_ GREEN.LAKE.WI SATURDAY_ 62-0519

E-30 And after while... Oh, God's always faithful when we're coming God's provided way. Job said, "I've made my confession. I have burnt the offering." That's exactly what God required. He worshipped God under the shed blood. And all of a sudden then the Spirit come upon the prophet, and the thunders roared, and the lightnings flashed, and he said, "I know my Redeemer liveth. And in the last days... Though after the skin worms destroys this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself." See, under the blood...

There set the rest of them as far away as anything. But Job stayed under the blood with the Word (That's it.), under the blood with the Word. No matter how dark it gets, just keep going on. Hold to God's unchanging Word. Go right down. If you hold the Word, you got His hand. Go on down.

THE.INFALLIBLE.WORD.OF.GOD_ CHICAGO.IL FRIDAY_ 56-0406

E-19 And a man's character is shown in his works. Or a man shows his--his character by his works. We know that. Just like a contractor, a contractor shows what he is by his work. For instance, if we was going to have a great building built here in the city of Chicago, the first thing the officials of the city board would do, they would try to select a contractor. Just not any one that run in and said, "Well, I can do the job, all right," they're going to get a contractor that's got a reputation. And now, because if they didn't, maybe another contractor would underbid that contractor. But he would put in the building bad material, and perhaps he would build it thousands of dollars less. And then we come to find out that the building collapsed. The first storm hit it, it went down. What do you think the city would think about that contractor? It would ruin his reputation forever. That's right.

Perhaps, what if it would have been a school building, or something where many little children was seated in the school, and the--the bad material that was put in the building gave away and collapsed and killed hundreds of little children? What would those parents think of that contractor, for the love of money, caring not about his reputation, and done a job like that? Oh, my, they'd think he was a horrible person. And he would be. No doubt he'd have to be what we would call a scalawag, that would do a trick like that, put such a goods in a building that had such a great price that it was to hold up. And then, with so much in common of little children, that had to be seated in here, and would go and put bad materials in it, and the first thing you know the foundations would give away and away it would go. He would be an awful person to do a thing like that.

What do you think the Los Angeles people thought of that contractor who built the Saint Francis Dam? About twenty-five million dollars was put in it, a little lower than any the other bidders. But all at once, when the flood waters begin to press against the dam, the sandy conditions beneath it wasn't fit right, and the material that went into it was not the right kind of material, and while the valleys laid silent with sleeping people trusting in that dam, the whole thing gave away, and hundreds of people's lives was destroyed when the waters swept down through that valley, taking the lives of the people.

* GOD IS A GREAT ARCHITECT. HE'S A GREAT BUILDER AS GOD PUTS IN HIS BUILDING NOTHING BUT THE VERY BEST.

THE.INFALLIBLE.WORD.OF.GOD_ CHICAGO.IL FRIDAY_ 56-0406

E-20 Now, in this we would liken the Word of God. God is a great Architect. He's a great Builder as God puts in His building nothing but the very best.

And I would liken this to the story I read of the great Sydney Bridge in Sydney, Australia. Many years ago when the--they had decided to build a bridge across the great strait of water there, that connected North and South Sydney, many come to bid. But up into England, came down a renowned contractor who had a reputation behind him that he would... He wanted to build this bridge. Though his prices was high, the people of Sydney didn't mind that; they wanted the bridge built right.

And I think every Christian ought to take the same attitude. That's right. We want to know where we're standing. We don't want our eternal destination built upon the shifting sands of some church theology, but on the eternal Word of the living God. Right. 'Cause remember, every one of you setting here tonight, stormy times is going to hit that building you're setting in tonight. That's right. Death's going to strike it, and you'd better know what kind of a sand it's built upon, or what kind of a foundation it has.

THE.INFALLIBLE.WORD.OF.GOD_ CHICAGO.IL FRIDAY_ 56-0406

E-21 God building the foundation would put nothing else but the best that there is, 'cause God is thoughtful of His reputation. He's a God of eternity. He's a God of heavens and earth. He will never put nothing in His architect plans here, but what will stand the time test for eternity. Amen. Say, I better leave that text, that... We'd get to shouting, we get to thinking that. For that's just as true as God is true.

And now, He puts the best, and that's His Word. And that's where I rest my hopes on tonight. My hopes is built on nothing less, than Jesus Blood with righteousness. When all around my soul gives way, this Rock will stand forever (That's right.), God's eternal Word.

26-0424A_TAKING GOD AT HIS WORD PT-4 (STAYING WITH CHRIST IN THE WORD)

Mat 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

Joh 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

Joh 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

Joh 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
Joh 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
Joh 15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
Joh 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
Joh 15:8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
Joh 15:9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
Joh 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

*...FAITH MAKES THAT WORD LIVE...“IF YE ABIDE IN ME, AND MY WORD IN YOU... THAT’S STAYING WITH CHRIST IN THE WORD

Confirmation Of The Commission_ 62-0122

68 The Bible said, “The Gospel came to us not in word only, but through the power, manifestations of the Holy Ghost.” In other words, “It’s the Holy Ghost taking the Word of God and making It manifest.” See? And, otherwise, the only way that the signs of Mark 16 can follow the believer is that the Holy Spirit Himself takes the Word of God and demonstrates it to the people. That’s it. Now, faith makes that Word live. See?

69 The Word is God. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” And then Jesus said, “If ye abide in Me, and My Word in you, ask what you will, it’ll be done for you.” See? That’s staying with Christ in the Word. Don’t go right or left, stay right with It. See? And then It’s actually not your word then, It’s His Word, and His Word has the power and authority behind It. Now, and if the Holy Spirit, which is God’s Word, or the power of God’s Word, comes in with God’s Word, It’ll make God’s Word display Itself.

*AND THE MESSAGE IS THE HOLY SPIRIT TAKING THE WORD OF GOD AND GIVING IT TO YOU.

GOD.KEEPS.HIS.WORD_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 57-0120E

E-73 Do you realize just the seriousness of this? You don't come to church just to hear a message, or to see a messenger, I mean. You come to hear the message. And the message is the Holy Spirit taking the Word of God and giving It to you. Now, what about? Maybe in the morning it'll be too late. Are you willing in the Presence of God to raise your hand, you who have not yet, and say, "God, be merciful to me; I want Your Spirit in me, for..."

Would you be willing to say, "God, I'm going down to the potter's house. I'm sick and tired. I've always wanted a consecrated life. And tonight I'm going down to the potter's house to lay my heart down and say, 'God, break it all up and give me a new heart, a new spirit, and put Your Spirit right in the middle of it, and let my life run right along according to Your Word. Make me a Micaiah of this day, that I can stand on THUS SAITH THE LORD. And my vision, and my life, that--that I live before You, not I, but the Spirit in me, lives the life that the Bible requires. That's the way I want to be. O God, by Your mercy, make me that.'"

*BY TAKING GOD AT HIS WORD, CHANGED THE WHOLE NATURAL COURSE OF LIFE...

MARY'S.BELIEF_ BEAUMONT.TX SATURDAY_ 61-0121

E-38 ...As soon as Mary got a hold of... the Angel got a hold of her, rather, and she seen Him, and knowed it was God, because it was Scriptural, she took His word and went around testifying of something that didn't even show one evidence of ever being. Another thing, she testified of something that never had happened before. Oh, praise be the Lord! She testified of something that had never happened. Never had a virgin conceived. But she had the Angel's word, and the Angel was Scriptural, so she knowed it was promised. And the Angel had the Word of the Lord and promise it. And because she thought herself humble and lowly, yet God had chose her, so she was just happy about it. And she went forth with her message, telling everybody she was going to have a baby before she even had the first sign of a baby. She didn't wait and say, "Now wait, let me feel and see if I feel any better or not." No, no. Oh, God, give us more Marys!

MARY'S.BELIEF_ BEAUMONT.TX SATURDAY_ 61-0121

E-40 The Angel's message... It's always been that way. That's the way God wants. What did it do? The changed... By taking God at His Word, changed the whole natural course of life for her. It'll do the same thing for you. It certainly will. It'll take you sinners, and wash you as white as snow. It'll take you, critics, and make you one of us. It sure will. It'll take you that's sick and make you well. It'll take you that's on your road to hell and change you around and start you up to heaven. Just take Him at His Word, and believe it, and start rejoicing.

*EVERY MAN THAT'S BORN OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS GIVE A CHECKBOOK BY JESUS CHRIST, WITH HIS NAME SIGNED ON EVERY CHECK.

TAKING.GOD.AT.HIS.WORD_ OWENSBORO.KY TUESDAY_ 53-1103

E-11 But the trouble of it is, that men and women are born in this world, some born to be condemned, and you preach the Gospel, it's just like pouring water on a duck's back. Runs right off, and no--has no affect at all, that's right. The men and women who can grasp the promise of God, and say, "It's my personal property..." Every man that's born of the Spirit of God is give a checkbook by Jesus Christ, with His Name signed on every check. If you're afraid to fill it out, that's your bad luck. That's right.

Brother, anything... Jesus said, "Whatsoever things you desire, when you pray, believe you receive it, and you shall have it. Whatever, whatsoever things, if you believe."

If I need healing, I just write out the check, and put it in the deposit and say, "I'm sending it to Calvary." There's where it was paid for, there's where you deposit it. Hallelujah. The first thing you know, the re--blessings will be flowing back and the sickness will be gone. I be well and rejoicing again. Amen.

*...IF WE WOULD STAND AND CLAIM OUR GOD GIVEN PRIVILEGES. THAT'S THE TIME THAT GOD CAN ...

FELLOWSHIP_ CHICAGO.IL SUNDAY_ 55-0501A

28 ...And when Christian believers can believe that present now, right now, setting together, seated here in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: in Christ Jesus, fellowshipping (Amen.) around the Word of God, the Holy Spirit here taking the Word of God by vision, moving It out into every heart like that, as the Word is going forth and every believer receiving It. Oh, if we would stand and claim our God given privileges. That's the time that God can ever take that wishbone out of a person's back and put a real old fashion Gospel backbone into him: somebody who'll stand for truth, no matter how dark it looks.

*...THEN AS THE HOLY SPIRIT TAKEN THE WORD AND POUNDED AWAY LIKE AIR HAMMER AGAINST A ROCK.

E-29 God let the Hebrew children walk right into the fiery furnace before He ever turned a hand. He's always there; don't be scared. He's always present. Amen. Then if the footsteps of a righteous man is ordered of the Lord, what we got to fear? God be for you, who can be against you? Oh, my, think of it. Oh, if God let His portions of heaven gathers together in a meeting... Amen. Just try to--try that out, then as the Holy Spirit taken the Word and pounded away like air hammer against a rock. Oh, my. Break up our stony hearts and move away to believe that, unbelief, and fellowship around the Word. Fellowship is wonderful.

*THE ONLY WAY THAT MAN WILL EVER STAY, IS FOR HIM TO LAY DOWN THERE AND DIE OUT TO SELF, AND BE REBORN AGAIN BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD AND FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST.

E-13 Billy Graham, not long ago, having a meeting, went into a certain city, and said they had thirty thousand converts. They were chased down thirty days from then, couldn't find thirty converts. The trouble of it is, you're asking people to stand up and "accept Christ as my personal testimony," stand up like that and that's all they know about it; worked up under a little mental tel--enthusiasm. And the next thing you know, it's gone. The only way that man will ever stay, is for him to lay down there and die out to self, and be reborn again by the Spirit of God and filled with the Holy Ghost. Then he's no more his own, God took him over and got full control, and moving in him. Then he can't be nothing else, for God has made a new creature out of him.
