Num 20:7 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Num 20:8 Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.
Num 20:9 And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.
Num 20:10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?
Num 20:11 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.
Ecc 4:6 Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.
Ecc 4:7 Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.
Ecc 4:8 There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.
Isa 53:10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
Isa 53:11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
Isa 51:11 Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
Isa 51:12 I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;
Isa 51:13 And forgettest the LORD thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?
Isa 51:14 The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.
Isa 51:15 But I am the LORD thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The LORD of hosts is his name.
Isa 51:16 And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.
1Th 2:19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
1Th 2:20 For ye are our glory and joy.

I'm happy tonight, again, to greet you in the Name of our lovely Lord
Jesus, the resurrected Son of God. And His Presence was already here when I
come in, so we expecting to see the exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we
could even do or think tonight, that God will pour out upon us of His blessings
and magnify Jesus Christ in our midst.
I had been speaking the last
two nights... Sunday night I think we had a healing service, and Monday night I
was preaching. And give out... Started a subject, Sunday morning in the
Tabernacle. And I thought, while we were waiting around for a crowd to kinda
get picked up a little bit, I would kind of give vent to my feelings. I'm...
One of these days, if God
willing, and will help me, I'd just like to have several campaigns where
you--you don't just go in and preach nor teach the Scripture, and make altar
calls, and get down at the altar and pray for the people, and like we old
fashion Baptists used to do. [Someone says, "Amen."--Ed.] Only two Baptists I heard say,
"Amen." So where you all at tonight?
Someone said, "Brother
Branham, was you a Baptist?"
Said, "Yeah," I
said.
REDEMPTION.IN.COMPLETENESS.IN.JOY_ LOUISVILLE.KY V-25 N-8 TUESDAY_ 54-0330

was preaching here at Arkansas, one time. A fellow, old fellow, got healed. He
was... they had... He was a Nazarene. He had his crutches on his back, the next
day, going around through the city with a--a sign on it, "God taken me off
of this last night." And he was very badly crippled. It was in Little
Rock. And he'd been that way for several years. And everyone knew him, 'cause
he went around, had his hat laying down, and selling pencils out of the hat.
And everyone knew him, so it just started, just done a great thing in the city.
And a couple nights after that,
I was preaching, and--and he raised up. He said, "Just a minute, Brother
Branham, do you mind if I ask you something?"
I said, "No, sir."
And he said, "Well,"
he said, "when--when I heard you preaching, I knew you was a
Nazarene." He said, "Then I seen all the Pentecostal people around
here, and somebody told me you were Pentecostal." He said, "I heard
you say, awhile ago, you was a Baptist." He said, "I don't get
this."
I said, "Well, that's
easy. I'm a Pentecostal, Nazarene, Baptist." That's right. That's right.
We're just... believe.

Oh, friends, I don't belong to any denomination of church, and yet I
belong to every one of them. When I started out on this, I said, "Christ is my head. This Bible is
my textbook. And the world is my church." So that's--that's
what I want to be till I die.

Now, in a night or two, we'll try to start a healing service again, when
we get... 'Course, seeing these cots and stretchers laying around here, I like
to see something. I'm so anxious for something to happen here in Louisville,
Kentucky, because this is my home state.
I've never had a good, what
you call a good meeting, in Kentucky. And I don't mean that with any slam.
I--I've had plenty bad ones, plenty places. But, I mean, right here in my own
home, it's so hard. I... just so hard to break it. I don't know why. But I
guess it's because Jesus said, "In your own country," that how it'd
be, that's probably the--the way it is. But we never get to see too many
outstanding miracles.
I had a service here, about a
year or two ago in Jeffersonville, but it happened to be the woman was from up
here in Kentucky somewhere. She had turned to chalk, like, from her limbs down;
from her hip down to her limps, rather. And she--she hadn't walked for
seventeen years. Many of you was there that night remember the case. And she
got right up and walked out of the Tabernacle, normally.

Now, I'd like for something to get started here in Louisville, where I
could see an old fashion revival sweep through this lovely big city here.
It's a city of like all other
cities; it's as wicked as all get out. You know that's the truth. I'm not
hurting Kentucky, 'cause, I'm a Kentuckian too. All right. But it's--it's
truth. It's wicked. This is the home of all whiskeys and distilleries, and
wicked devices, and everything like, it happens right around Louisville,
Kentucky, here, so this is the seat of Satan.
But we can break it to pieces
with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, if we'll all get together. That's right. We
got to unite our powers together and push.

Sometime ago, a very famous evangelist in the country was, said, talking
about the services here. He said, "Well, here's what it is." He said,
"When I go into a city, everything throughout the country has to sponsor
my meetings or I won't go." That's right. Well, just think. I think
there's perhaps sixty or seventy big Baptist churches right in Louisville. See?
How about the Methodist? And it's a Methodist town, Asbury being up here. What
would that man have if he come to this city, just of Methodists and Baptists,
let alone the Presbyterian and all?
Now, how many full-Gospel
churches is there here in the city? Two or three little missions down along
here somewhere, just small churches here and there, and they're at war with one
another.
*HE'S NOT A CHRIST TO TRY. HE'S ONE TO
ACCEPT. LIVE OR DIE, SINK OR DROWN, TAKE HIM ANYHOW.
REDEMPTION.IN.COMPLETENESS.IN.JOY_ LOUISVILLE.KY V-25 N-8 TUESDAY_ 54-0330
17 So when you come in, you have to stand on
the strength of your ministry. That's right. And even the... Everybody
is like a politics moving in. It's on the strength of your ministry to draw
from whatever the Lord will send. I like it that way. Brother, if Jesus Christ
ain't my stay here, and my dependence, then I have nothing else to depend on. That's right. He... On Christ the
solid Rock, I stand; all other grounds is sinking sands to me. I'd rather
preach to five people that I know God had sent to hear the Message, than to
preach to ten thousand that was politically pulled into it.
That's right.
I'd rather see a little old old fashion
conversation, get down to the altar and cry and boohoo through, than to see a
ten thousand stand, just say, "Well, I'll try It." Try It? He's not a Christ to try. He's One to
accept. Live or die, sink or drown, take Him anyhow. That's
right.
*AND THAT'S MY WHOLE HEART, EVERYTHING'S SET RIGHT IN THAT. REDEMPTION.IN.COMPLETENESS.IN.JOY_ LOUISVILLE.KY
V-25 N-8 TUESDAY_ 54-0330
19
If I pray, prayed
for ten thousand people tonight, and they all died in the morning, tomorrow
night I'd be back here praying for the sick, believing God's Word was right.
That's right.
If I was dying, and five
thousand people died a hundred years ago, and had been in eternity that long,
rose back and come to the earth, and said, "Brother Branham, don't you
trust It. He's not right. Don't trust It. We--we trusted Him, went; we failed."
I'd still say, "Let me die in Jesus Christ."
That's right. I believe it. And that's my whole heart,
everything's set right in that. And I believe it with all my heart, and I
depend on Him.
And I love His people. I love
you fellow citizens of the Kingdom of God. And I want to stand
shoulder-to-shoulder with you and bear the burden.

Now, tonight; I give out last night I was going to speak a little while
tonight, the Lord willing. Don't want to keep you too long, tire you, 'cause
we're expecting...
I've got kind of like a fleece
before the Lord for this meeting. And I'm expecting God to do something that'll
start the meeting a rolling right here in the city. You pray; do your part;
then when the judgment comes, we can all stand and say we did our part.
In the 20th chapter of
Exodus, and beginning with the 7th verse, I wish to speak just a few moments,
if God will permit, on a very, well, I'd say, not an outstanding subject, but
a--a good subject. Last Sunday, at the Sunday school at the Tabernacle in
Jeffersonville, we started on, "Redemption by the Blood."
REDEMPTION.IN.COMPLETENESS.IN.JOY_ LOUISVILLE.KY V-25 N-8 TUESDAY_ 54-0330
26
And here's what I'm trying to do, if you want to know why I'm doing this
here. Many of you say you never seen me preaching in a healing campaign, but
it's for a purpose. I think, if I could get souls broke down and come to the
altar, then I'd find favor with God for Louisville (That's right.) when the
people really get down before God and pray.
And then, there's many of you,
friends, that's praying, fasting, and afraid to take a hold of what you're
praying for. That's right. See? Well, it won't do you no good to fast and pray,
'less you got some works to go with it. All your faith in the world, won't do
you a bit of good, 'less you step right out there, and toe-to-toe with it, and
take it. That's all. You've got to go forward. You just got to step right out
and do it anyhow. When you ask for anything, go get it. God said it's yours, so
don't take nothing less. Get what you asked for. You do that and find out how
it comes out. Yeah. Don't--don't back up and say, "Well, I'll take
second."
AND AS LONG AS I BELIEVE HIM
AND LOVE HIM, AND HE LOVES ME, IT'LL BE JUST THAT WAY
REDEMPTION.IN.COMPLETENESS.IN.JOY_ LOUISVILLE.KY V-25 N-8 TUESDAY_ 54-0330
28 I'll
take first. God promised me first; that's what I want. And for these
twenty-three years I've served Him, He's give me that place. And I... And
as long as I believe Him and love Him, and He loves me, it'll be just that way,
because He's obligated to His Word. "Whatsoever things you desire, when
you pray, believe you receive it, you shall have it." That's
what He said. Is that right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]
That's good. All right.
I like to hear you say,
"Amen." You know, Sister Hoover, "amen" means "so be
it," to me, you know. And I--I go to speaking, I don't hear nobody say
"amen," I--I get all puzzled.

Here sometime ago I was preaching in a little church, and--and I was
just... Oh, I haven't got very many pulpit manners, according to the, I guess,
the theology of the day, so I guess I got a little unruly. And I think I jumped
up on the plat--on the pulpit, like that, and grabbed the microphone in my
hand, and sit there, and my feet swinging off, preaching just as hard as I
could. I come to myself; I didn't know what I was doing. In few minutes I got
lost again, and I found myself down in the middle of the aisle, rolling up my
trouser leg. I don't know why, but I was really... I'd liked to stayed there
awhile. That's one thing I'd like to say. It was somewhere that I sure was
enjoying myself. I just lived off of it for several days afterward.
There was a man come to me,
and he said, "Say," he said, "how can you preach, and all them
people saying, 'Amen'?"
I said, "That's what
makes me preach." Yeah.
REDEMPTION.IN.COMPLETENESS.IN.JOY_ LOUISVILLE.KY V-25 N-8 TUESDAY_ 54-0330
32 I
used to have an old dog. I coon hunted. I guess I got plenty of Kentucky
friends here that likes to coon hunt. So... And he would tree anything there
was, and go get it, besides a skunk; and he just wouldn't have nothing to do
with that. Now, he'd--he'd run him under a brush pile. And the only thing I had
to do; I didn't want to get under there after him; I was sure. So the only
thing I'd do, is just raise up the brush, and pat him and holler, "Sic
him, boy! Sic him!" He'd go get the skunk.
Now, the worst skunk I know of
is the devil. And if you want to do a little patting, just holler
"amen" once in a while. And I--I... We'll get him treed, after while,
and go get him.

34 You
know, old Buddy Robinson, many of you has heard of him. Haven't you, the
Nazarene church? He said, "Lord," said "give me a backbone
like a saw log. Give me lots of knowledge in the gable end of my soul. And
let me fight the devil as long as I got one tooth, and then gum him till I
die." I think that's a good... And that's just what he did. That's
just what he did; way, nearly a hundred years old, and still preaching the
Gospel.
I hear them old veterans
preaching like that. The other day, I happened to turn on the radio, and an old
brother, by the name of Mordecai F. Hamm, around a hundred years old, still
preaching the Gospel. I said, "God, bless him, and may he have stars in
his crown when he gets there." Brother Hamm, I just barely know him. One
of these days I want to meet him before he crosses over, the land. And so he
can shake hands with a lot of folks over there. I know he will have plenty to
shake hands with when he gets there, though, because he's been an old veteran.
The Lord bless you now. And
now, before we enter into this Word, let's ask the Author to come down and
reveal It to us.

Our kind heavenly Father, we approach Thee tonight, in that lovely,
magnificent Name of Thy Son Jesus, confessing our sins, that we are not worthy
to speak His holy Name. For in... All the family of heaven is named
"Jesus." All the family on earth is named "Jesus." And in
that Name every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess to It, whether
they be sinners or saints. Then when we speak in His Name, how we should be
quivering in our hearts with reverence, as we speak. So we ask in His Name,
reverently, that You will come to us tonight, Lord.
We're here in the midst of a
great city, with all kinds of devices that Satan has got the people so bound up
in their businesses, in his gambling, in prostitution, whiskey, and cigarettes.
And O God, and many ministers in the pulpit just let it pass by as if it was
just one of the common things.
But, God, give us the voice of
warning, that we'll preach the Gospel straight and true, lay the axe to the
root of the tree, and let the chips fall wherever it will be. But help us,
Lord, to pronounce judgment upon such things and preach the Gospel of Thy dear
Son, Jesus.

God, grant something to take place that'll shake this city for the
Kingdom of God. That, even the churches, that's just going along on the corners
with a few members, O God, may them churches fill up and pack out with good,
old fashion, saintly people, borned again. Grant it, Lord. And may we receive a
revival, an old fashion, God-sent revival that'll just shake from one side of
the city to the other, getting rid of all the meanness. O God, don't give us a
protractive meeting. Give us a revival that'll close up bootleg joints, and
that'll get things right, and make people come when the church bell rings, and
flock to the altar, and pray before the pastor's message, and be ready. God,
grant it.
Now, tonight there may be sick
here, Father. And while we're speaking on the sick, or for the sick also, may
the Holy Spirit heal every sick person in the building. Save every sinner. Call
back home every backslider from his wayward way.
And now, may the Holy Spirit
be the One that has guided me to this subject tonight. And may He take the
things of God and just use His servant here as an instrument, and may God
receive glory. For we ask it in His Name. Amen.

In the 7th verse of the 20th chapter of--of Numbers, we
read this.
And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
Take the rod, and
gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother,... speak ye to
the rock before their eyes; and it shall bring forth his water,...
I want you to notice that,
"his" water.
It shall bring forth
his water, and thou shall bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou
shall give the congregation and their beasts drink.
And Moses took the rod
from before the LORD, as he commanded him.
And Moses and Aaron gathered
the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them. Hear..., ye
rebels; must we fetch you water out of the rock?
And Moses lifted up his
hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the waters came out
abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.
May the Lord take these few
Words now, as we go back to our subject from last night and bring it up to this,
God willing.

And now, I want all the sick that's in here tonight... Now, Billy never
give out any prayer cards today, 'cause I told him not to. I said, "Just
go over, Billy, and tell Brother Cauble. And just let me..."
*THERE'S THE INITIAL, AND
FIRST, AND BEST WAY. THAT'S RIGHT. TAKE GOD AT HIS WORD.
I'm trying something for the
glory of God, just asking God to help us, to give us souls into the Kingdom; and
that believers that'll strengthen their faith, and move up, even without
anything else, will just move right up and say, "God, I believe You, on
the Word." That's it. There's the
initial, and first, and best way. That's right. Take God at His Word. Then if you can't do that, then, 'course, God
sends other things in, such as gifts and signs to--to confirm His Word, to
confirm It to every believer.
Now, Sunday, we had,
"Redemption by the Blood."

We're taking Israel now, in their journey coming out of Egypt, type of
the world, on their way to Palestine, the promised land. I think it's a
beautiful thing. I just love it. Pretty near every week, I set down and read
through that book of Exodus, if I can, or as much of it as I can. I love it,
because it's a perfect type of the church today, the condition, and how God is
moving. Moved then, what He did in the natural then, He's doing in the
spiritual now. See it?
Now, there He led Israel
natural, where they seen, looked, moved them out of a certain land into another
natural land.
Now, we're moved by the Holy
Spirit, in going now into the promised land. You believe we're on a road to a
promised land? "In My Father's house is many mansions. If it wasn't so, I
would've told you. I'll go and prepare a place for you." Is that right?
Now, we have a promised land that we're going to, and each day marks a
milestone; another day, another milestone.
*WHEN HE CALLS FROM AMONG THE DEAD, I'LL BE CALLED OUT WITH THEM THAT'S
A LIVING.
REDEMPTION.IN.COMPLETENESS.IN.JOY_ LOUISVILLE.KY V-25 N-8 TUESDAY_ 54-0330
51 And
there's a big dark shadow setting yonder before us, called death. And every
time our heart beats, we move one step closer to that. One of these days,
it's going to take its last beat, and we're going in. I want to be at my time,
make my lot; as I hope every one of you is, tonight. When I know that it's laying just before me, and I
have to meet it, I don't want to be a coward. I want to wrap myself in the
robe of His righteousness, walking into it, knowing this, that I am sure that I know Him in the power of His
resurrection (That's right.), that when He calls from among the dead, I'll be
called out with them that's a living. God is a God of the living.
*THAT WHEN HE HAS ACCEPTED THE DEATH OF CHRIST IN HIS STEAD, THEN HE
BECOMES A CHILD OF GOD. HE STARTS ON HIS JOURNEY.
REDEMPTION.IN.COMPLETENESS.IN.JOY_ LOUISVILLE.KY V-25 N-8 TUESDAY_ 54-0330
52 Now,
as they journeyed in this land, we found out that God made a--made a plan for
them. He brought
redemption by the blood. Then we find out, He brings redemption again, by
power.
We found night before last
that He had the blood applied, which was a very beautiful type of the believer;
that when he
has accepted the death of Christ in his stead, then he becomes a child of God.
He starts on his journey.
Now, the next thing that he
has to have... after he is saved spiritually...
Now, the death of the
innocent lamb provided life for the guilty believer. Isn't that a perfect
type now, the death of the Innocent, providing Life
for the guilty. And the death of the innocent Christ provides Life for we the
guilty.
Now, first, then after
God gave them life through the blood and proved it, that death passed over
them, He started them in their journey. We're going to catch
up with them after while.
THEN THE NEXT THING GOD DID,
AS SOON AS THEY WERE BECOME BELIEVERS AND CHILDREN, AND ACCEPTED GOD, THE ENEMY
OF PHYSICAL DEATH TOOK AFTER THEM
REDEMPTION.IN.COMPLETENESS.IN.JOY_ LOUISVILLE.KY V-25 N-8 TUESDAY_ 54-0330
57
Now notice, then the next thing God did, as soon as they were
become believers and children, and accepted God, the enemy of physical death
took after them. And he had them cornered, right up with the desert on one
side, the Red Sea on another, mountains on another side, Pharaoh's army coming,
pursuing, millions of soldiers coming in the march to overcome them.
Now, God had made manifest that He'd give them life
through the death of the lamb; now He is going to show them physical redemption.
Hallelujah. See, both for salvation and healing (See?), for the natural
man and the spiritual man.
The death Angel passed
over, proving that God had made a way of escape through the offering of the
blood, and they accepted it. Now He's going to make a way
of escape from a physical death.
Like the believer, as soon as he gets saved, maybe a cancer has
eaten him up, or some disease. God has redemption also through power. The same as
He has redemption for the soul, He has redemption for the body. It was
a...
*REDEMPTION BY THE POWER.
REDEMPTION.IN.COMPLETENESS.IN.JOY_ LOUISVILLE.KY V-25 N-8 TUESDAY_ 54-0330
61 They
were saved, and they were circumcised. They were under the blood, but yet,
Pharaoh was going... The enemy was going to destroy them, kill them all right
there in the wilderness. Then God showed His power of redemption for
their body. You get it? You know what I'm speaking of? Redemption
by the power. And
then, when the enemy was right nearly on them, the great supernatural Pillar of
Fire raised up from over Israel, come over here and stood between them and
death.
Let it soak for a few minutes.
Can you see what I'm speaking of?
Now, to every believer,
born-again child of God, when death comes stealing to the door prematurely, the
Angel of God stands between you and the sickness. Now, if you want to run
right on to it, that's your business; but you don't have to. See? He's
standing between you and death.
***OH, HOW GOD KNOWS HOW TO DO
THINGS, IF WE'LL JUST FOLLOW.

Twenty-three years ago in the Jewish Hospital, Dr. Morris Fletcher give
me three hours; one of your best surgeons here in the city, give me three hours
to live. I'm living tonight. Hallelujah. Why? By unmerited grace, the Angel of
God stood between me and death to protect me, and I accepted It. And in
gratitude, by God's grace, I want a half a million souls to Him, tonight.
Oh, how God knows how to do things, if we'll just follow.
Don't try to lead God. Let God lead you. See? We are
the ones to be led. I think that's why God likened us unto sheep.
Did you ever see a sheep lost?
Why, he's the most helpless
critter in the world. He can't find his way nowhere. He just stand
and bleats till the wolf eats him, or he dies there. He can't find his way
back.
And that's the way, that when a man is lost, he's totally
helpless. There's nothing you can do about it. God,
through grace, has to lead you to Christ. Jesus said, "No man can come to

just as normal as they could be. They'd refuse to know anything else. See?

Now, notice the children of Israel then. God came and stood between
them and the danger: power of redemption--redemption by power, rather.
Redemption by blood, redemption by power...
Last night we left them just
crawling up on the banks on the other side of the Red Sea. All the enemies,
their chariot wheels had been taken off. Their horses got spooked right out in
the middle of the river, and they were turning every way, going this way, and
the wheels mired down in the mud and fell off, and a bunch of men frantically
running, the enemy. And Israel climbed out upon the bank to see God stretch
forth His hand and destroy all the enemy.
A beautiful type, the
believer under the Blood; been healed then by the go-between, the power of God sparing his life, prolonging it for a time... They'd every one been
killed right there; he'd have massacred them right there in the wilderness, if
God hadn't stood between them. I'd have been dead a long
time ago, if God hadn't stood between me and death. Every believer in here would've been dead, a long time ago,
if God hadn't stood between you and death: every one of you. So
God in His sovereign grace and mercy stands between the believer and death.
Hallelujah.

Here it is. Then what's the next thing for the believer? The next thing
is the baptism of the Holy Spirit then. Moses led the children of Israel right
down to the Red Sea, was baptized in the Red Sea: the sea, water, representing
Spirit. When he smote the Rock, water came out. And it was a type of Christ in
John 3:16. "God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but would have Everlasting
Life." Notice, a perishing people in the wilderness was saved by a smitten
Rock. And a perishing people is saved today (perishing in sin, perishing in iniquity),
because the smitten Son of God taken their place: water, the Spirit rolling
out!
Watch, I want you to see it
now, as they went through the Red Sea, was a type of receiving the Holy Spirit.
After the believer has been redeemed from death, unto Life the power of God has
healed his body, now he's a candidate for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Now,
he's got a journey, yonder, ahead of him; but before he can meet that journey,
he's got to have something to pack him through. Amen. Perfect type of Pentecost...

Notice, as they crawled out of the bank... Every believer, when you come
in and are saved, accept the Blood of Jesus, you still try to hang onto this
and hang onto that, and you can't give this up and you can't give that up.
After while, God may do good things for you; but you can't give up your
cigarettes, you have to take a sociable drink with the fellows now and then.
But what you need to do is pass through the Red Sea.
When they come out on the
other side... Here it is. I want you to see it. As they come out on the other
side, crawled up on the bank and looked back, and seen all those old
taskmasters who had beaten them, killed some of them... Just like cancer, and
cigarettes, and tobaccos, and whiskey, and everything else drives the kids
insane, sends them to the asylum, into hospitals, and a bunch of neurotics and
everything else produced in the world... When they looked back and saw all
those things struggling, helpless, and dying in the sea, brother, you talk
about a meeting; they had one.

Moses... Oh, I'm going to let this sink deep. I hope it goes way down.
Moses, greatest prophet ever lived, outside of Jesus Christ. Never was a man
that God ever spoke to, like He did Moses, outside of Christ. He said, "If
there be one who's spiritual, or prophet, among you, I'll show him visions and
make myself known to him. But not My servant Moses; I speak lip to ear with
him." That's right.
Moses, this dignified man, as
soon as he come through that experience, he seen all those taskmasters dead, he
knowed all them things was gone forever then. All those things that had drove
them, and beat them, and whipped them around was finished. He raised his hands
and sang in the Spirit. Oh, my.
Never been typed, and won't be
until we get to Glory up yonder. When the completion was made there, he sang in
the Spirit. And when we're redeemed in the body... That was a type of the Holy
Spirit coming at Pentecost, when we passed through the sea. It was a type of
Pentecost. And Moses, in the ante--in the type back there, when he passed
through that, he sang in the Spirit. It come on the day of Pentecost. And when
the body is perfect, redeemed... Now our soul is perfect redeemed (Right.),
cannot perish, got Everlasting Life." What the Bible says.

want to, to me. Don't bother me, 'cause I know whom I have believed, and I'm
persuaded He's able to keep that which I've committed to Him against the
day." Amen.

Notice, then when our bodies are redeemed... Which we got Divine healing
now as a shadow.
As that was a shadow there of
Pentecost, look what they done in the shadow time of salvation. Look how they
walked there before God, "Quenched the... edge and so... of fire, and
escape the edge of the sword," all these things they did, "come out
of the fiery furnaces; away from the lions' den, and everything," by the
shadow (Hallelujah.), by the shadow of Pentecost.
Now we have perfect redemption
through the Blood of Christ. They couldn't have perfect redemption then, 'cause
it was under the blood of bulls and goats, and it will not take away sin; it
only covered sin. But when Jesus' Blood was shed, the most holy, righteous
Blood, sins wasn't covered no more; they were divorced and done with, and the
believer goes in the Presence of his Maker. Hallelujah.

If they did that, then the shadow there of Moses singing in the Spirit,
then over in Revelation, those who's got perfect redemption of the body, stood
on the sea of glass and sung the song of Moses again, over in the Book of
Revelation.
Talk about a--a Holy Ghost meeting,
they had it when they got up on that bank. Listen, sister. The little dignified
Miriam, the prophetess, the sister of Moses, a prophetess, she got so excited
till she grabbed up a tambourine, and run down the bank, beating this
tambourine, and dancing in the Spirit. Not only that, but all the daughters of
Israel followed her, dancing in the Spirit. If that ain't the Holy Ghost
falling, I never seen one. Of course, then all them ritualistic, dignified
nations could've looked through their binoculars and seen that, they'd said,
"Fanaticism." Right. But it was God. That's right.
The dignified things look down
today upon what God has blessed. Right.

Reminds me of a story. A fellow had a great big, fine farm. He built
great big, fine barns, just as dignified and classic as it could be, but he was
too lazy to farm. All right. There was another farmer lived close to him; he
didn't have very much of a barn, but he really was a farmer, and he'd put
plenty of good food in that barn that year. And two little calves was born, one
in one barn and one in the other. When springtime come, they turned the little
calves out of the stall.
That little calf from over
here had been fed real good, my, when that wind begin to hit him, oh, my, he
kicked up his heels and away he went just as hard as he could go, a snorting,
and a jumping, and a bucking, and a going on.
And then the other farmer
turned his out, over there. He had--he had nothing to eat but weeds: too lazy
to farm, too lazy to feed him.
Puts in mind of some of these
pastors (Right, right.), too lazy, and too trifle. And just dignified barns is
all you got. Put some Food in there for the calf. Right. Right. The baptism of
the Holy Ghost, preached with power, it'll scorch them. That's right. But
that's what they need, is some good old fashion scorching; what the church
needs, what the members need. Notice.

And this little old calf had been...?... Poor, little fellow come out of
the stall so thin, he couldn't hardly walk. And he peeped down through the
crack and looked across. He seen that other calf just a snorting. He was all
fat and round. He felt good. He'd been eating all winter. And that little,
starved calf looked over, said, "Such fanaticism." My. Sure, he was
too skinny to think anything else.
But I tell you, when that one
that all fattened up all winter, brother, he knowed where he was at. He was
having a good time when that warm wind begin to blow on him.
And any man that's born of the
Spirit of God, they'll call him a fanatic or anything else. But when that warm,
spring, Holy Ghost wind begin to come like It did on the day of Pentecost,
something's going to take place. Right. The warm winds begin to blow; brother,
you're all fattened up with the Gospel, all round and feeling good. Kick up
your heels and have a good time.

That's the way Miriam and them did. Looked back down and saw all them
old things that they once done, was all dead and gone. They'd done seen God
accepted the blood; done seen His power in Divine healing, standing between
them; come through the Red Sea, and was baptized with the Spirit; walked on the
other side, just having a good time. They didn't care what the--all the
organizations thought about it. Amen.
What a perfect type it is
today of the believer who will dare to step out.
God promised that He'd supply
their every need. He promised He'd supply our every need. He never told them,
"I will make a way of healing; I will make a way of this; I will make a
way of that." He said, "I will be with you." Hallelujah.
That's what He said to us.
"I will be with you, even in you, to the end of the world." That's
all I have to say. You don't have to argue this, that, or the other. If He's
here, that satisfies me; Divine healing's here; power is here. Everything He
was there, He is now, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and
forever." So you can take your theology and drown with it. Brother, I
believe Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever; said, "I will
be with you, even in you, to the end of the world." Yes.

And there they came out, and He was with them. Now, he said... Oh, they
had a little basket of bread on their head; it was all eat up and gone. Didn't
have any. They went to bed, a little hungry that night. But the next morning
when they got up, there was bread laying all over the ground.
That's the way God does
things: lets you come right down to the last minute, and then show you what He
can do about it. That's right. He loves to do that. He loves to--He loves to
surprise His people.
You men like to do your wife
like that. Wait till her birthday, just keep her under suspicions, 'cause you
love her.
That's the reason God lets us
come to the end of the road sometime, because He loves us and wants to prove
His supernaturalness of His power. 'cause He loves us, that's the reason He
does it. Yes. He just lets us get right down to the place where we're just
about ready to make the last step, then He steps in the scene.
He let the Hebrew children
walk right in the fiery furnace, but there was a fourth Man standing there with
a fan, keeping it off of them. See? He's always there. He never leaves. He's
always near. "The Angel of the Lord encamp about those who fear Him."

There, that night... They picked up that bread the next morning. I can
see those Israelites that had just passed through the Red Sea, had just been
redeemed by the blood, seen the healing power of God, or the miraculous power
standing between God--and between Israel and Egypt, and had drown the enemies
behind that...
Like the old cancer's gone

everything's done drowned back yonder in the Blood of Jesus Christ. How do you
feel? My.
Walk down the street, and some
old critic say, "Now, wait a minute. Are you sure of that?"
"Don't talk to me."
Amen. Oh, my.
I can see them out there, just
a gathering up and gathering up, and eating, and having a glorious time. Just
like an old fashion, Holy Ghost meeting. Here will come the Spirit of God
moving over; some little saint will reach up, get it in the heart like that,

"Now, that bread never did cease. It went all the way through the
journey, for them. That's right, and was a perfect type of Pentecost...?...
That was in the natural. That bread never did cease. It stayed the same bread,
until they entered the promised land. Is that right? [The congregation says,
"Amen."--Ed.] You Bible readers know it. And then when we...
The church was inaugurated at
the day of Pentecost, when the believers was up there... "And there came
out a sound like a rushing mighty wind, filled the house where they were

Notice, here's another thing about that manna. When they begin to taste
it, they said, "It tastes like honey." Yes, it was sweet. I can just
see them old saints a smacking their lips and eating away. It was good.
Did you ever taste This? This
is good too. Said, "Taste and see, the Lord is good. It tastes like honey
in the rock." I've often made this remark, many times. That, when David of
old, who spoke that in his Psalm, said, "It tastes like honey in the
rock."
David, being a shepherd, he
had a little scrip bag, they carried on their side, and they always pack honey
in it. The old shepherds do yet, in the--in the Palestine. And when
their--their sick sheep gets a going on, then, the first thing you know, he
reached down to get a piece of this honey, and he takes it and rubs it on the
rock, a limestone rock. And the sheep likes that honey, so he goes to licking
that honey off the rock. And there's something about limestone that heals the
sick sheep.
And I tell you, we got a whole
scrip bag full of honey here tonight, and we're going to put it on the Rock,
Christ Jesus. And the sick sheep go to licking, you're sure to get well. That's
right, just lick, lick, lick. And while licking the honey, why, you're sure to
get some of the limestone. That's just as sure as anything. Now, we're not
going to put it on the church. We're going to put it on Christ where it
belongs. That's right. 'Cause, healing belongs in Christ (Amen.), like all of
the redemption blessing. Notice.

And another thing. When that begin to fall, Aaron was commanded to go
out and get several omer-fulls of it.
Now, if they tried to keep
some over for the second day, it spoiled. And that's a whole lot among the Holy
Ghost people tonight. You're trying to think, "Well, twenty years ago, we
had a good message. We had a--we had a good time." What you got tonight?
That's the thing. They...
It fell every night. It never
failed one time, only on--on the Sabbath. That's right. And now, God has sent
it down new every night; every day, every hour it come.

Notice, them omer-fulls was kept up. He said, "Now, look. When you
come into the land, and your children begin to inquire about this..."
Said, "Every priest now that comes into the priesthood, after he'd had the
permission to come to the holy place, and so forth, and ordained a priest, then
he had a right to go in and take a mouthful of the original manna that fell at
the beginning." The very first that fell, they picked it up and put it in
an omer, and kept it, and it was just reserved for the priesthood.
Now, you say, "Brother
Branham, what type does that have today?"
Why, we are the priesthood.
"Ye are a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people, making
spiritual sacrifices unto God, the fruits of your lips giving thanks to His
Name." Amen. There it is. Now, then on the day of Pentecost, when the Holy
Spirit was falling, our manna...

Now, every priest back there under the Old Testament, when they come in
to be a priest, they knew they was going to get a mouthful of the original
manna, not some made up, some man-made that looked like it. But he was going to
get some of the original.
Well, on the day of Pentecost,
when our Manna begin to fall, the Holy Ghost came like a rushing mighty wind.
Here was a bunch of little, dignified people, a hundred and twenty in an upper
room: doors shut, windows down, setting back there waiting for the promise.
Yeah, they'd been with Jesus, sure. They knowed His power and all that, but
they were waiting for the promise.
That's what we want tonight.
To be... If this group of people could get in one accord like they was on that
night, the same thing would repeat tonight right here in this building in

But they were all in one place, one accord, and suddenly "There
came a minister up, and he had a letter, and they signed their names and had
the right hand of fellowship, and entered into the church fellowship."
That might be today, but that wasn't then. That's the way the Protestant does
it. The Catholic walks up to the altar and takes his first communion, licks out
his tongue, takes the wafer; and the priest drinks the wine. Then he becomes
that.
But, brother, "On the day
of Pentecost, they were in one accord, in one place, then suddenly there came a
sound from heaven (man had nothing to do with It.) like a rushing mighty wind.
It filled all the house where they were setting." The power of God struck
upon them. Out into the street they went acting like a bunch of maniacs; like
they did down there when they come through the Red Sea. That right? They screamed.
They carried on. They staggered. They stammered with their lips.
They, oh, such a carry on,
you... till the people, the dignified church, stood back and said, "These
people are drunk on new wine."
Hallelujah. Going to call me a

God out of heaven. Did you ever see a drunk man? He's just in love with
everybody. You see? He don't care. That's the way a man is when he gets drunk
on the Spirit. The Bible said, "Be not drunk on strong drink, with excess,
but to be drunk on the Spirit." The Spirit of God makes you so drunk, you
forget all your enemies and everything. Everybody's in love with you. You don't
care about who's standing around you. You're the biggest man in the country
right then.
I don't care if your neighbor
sitting next to you, went to some dignified church; just let the Holy Ghost get
on you one time, see what takes place. Get right, real good, souse drunk,

There they was, all drunk on new Wine. And, listen, some of you sisters

there. The mother of Jesus Christ had to go up there and be included in that
bunch of people, so drunk on the Spirit till she staggered like she was drunk
on whiskey or something.
And you think you'll get to
heaven by slipping over to the church and putting your song book under your
arm, and walking over every Sunday morning, and the bell tolls, and set and
listen at some of the... and walk back? You'll never do it.
You'll have to come that
route, 'cause that's the only route God ever laid down, and ever has. And
you'll walk it, or won't be there. I'm not your judge, but I'm preaching the
Gospel. That's exactly the truth. The blessed virgin was right there, acted
just as idiotic as the rest of them did, just as drunk as the rest of them.
These men and women, every one of them, was full of new Wine. If God ever changed
that program, put your finger on the Scripture for me; it isn't there. No, sir.
It was plumb on to the end of the age, that way, plumb on to the end of the

"Why, you men of Judaea, you that dwell in Jerusalem..." That was

If this ain't That, I want to

He said, "This is that
which was spoken of by the prophet Joel, 'It shall come to pass in the last
days, saith God, I'll pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; your sons and your
daughters shall prophesy; and upon my handsmaids and maidservants will I pour
out of my Spirit, and they shall prophesy; and I'll show signs in the heavens
above, and in the earth; and pillars of fire, and smoke, and vapor; and it
shall come to pass, before the great and terrible day of the Lord shall come,

is it? "For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to them

Then every man that repents

Here they go through the wilderness now, after the old fashion meeting.
Now, they're on their journey. Isn't it strange that they was led right
straight to the wilderness of sin, right up to the wilderness, right up into
the--the fountain of bitter water? Could you imagine God taking His children,
right after they got saved and filled with the Holy Ghost, to fountains of
bitter water? Sure. He'd like to express His love to them again. That's right.
They got up there.
You know, when you get the
Holy Ghost, you attend a lot of obstacles. "Many are the afflictions of
the righteous, but God delivereth him out of them all." God brings you
right up, facing with it, so He can show you His power and His goodness.

Like I heard the story of the shepherd in Jerusalem, who had broke his
sheep's leg. They said, "Why, you cruel shepherd, why did you break the
sheep's leg?"
Said, "Well, she didn't
act like she loved me. So I thought I'd just break her leg, so I'd have to give
her some special attention, and then she'd love me from then on."
Sometimes God has to lay you
on your back with a sickness, that the doctor says you're going to die. God
could give you a little special treatment, so you'll love Him a little more.
That's right.

Some through deep trials, but all through the

Now, when they were there, and the waters were bitter and they couldn't
drink, God provided a way. A little old tree swinging there on the bank, Moses
just cut it down and throwed it in the water, changed the whole thing to good,
sweet water.
Now, when you come up against
one of your bitter waters, or something another like that, there's a tree
tonight, spiritually speaking, hanging over Golgotha or the world tonight,
that'll sweeten any bitter waters that you may be led by. That's right. That
Calvary will sweeten any experience. Many times we get into hard places, and
wonder how. But I shut my eyes sometime, and think, "Yonder on Golgotha,
where my Redeemer bled and died for my life..." then my trial seemed so
little. I just throw aside and walk on. It makes it sweet. It sweetens every
experience I ever had. He always sweetens it, when I come to my waters of

The Egyptians, they was far
beyond us today, when it comes to our medical science. They were far beyond us.
Many things they could do that we couldn't.
And Moses had all the remedies.
And when he was out there, I think, Moses had about two million people with
him. He had little children. He had old men, old women. He had cripples, and
blind. Babies were born, thousands of them, in a week's time. And Moses, Dr.
Moses, was out there in the wilderness with all these people. I'd like to look
into his medicine chest, wouldn't you? I'd like to see what Dr. Moses had in

Why, they tell me, that when you come out of the wilderness, there wasn't a
feeble one among them." Say, wouldn't some of these doctors like to look
into that, that medicine cabinet?
"And another thing,
Moses, what did you sprinkle on those people, till even their clothes didn't
wear out? Their shoes never wore out, walking on those rocks." If you ever
been there, you know what the desert looks like; they wear out a pair of shoes

water give out, along about middle of the day, and the little baby was
screaming and crying. His little lips was parched and his tongue was swelling.
A poor fearing mother, what could she done? She had seined every little place

"Hagar, what's that gushing out over there?"
There was a whole well full of

there. Haven't you got a drunkard husband you were praying for? If that's
right, raise up your hand. Speak to the Rock, and God will bring him out of--of
the thing.

God will do anything in here, if you want Him to do it. Do you believe
it? Are you on speaking terms with Him? If you are, stand to your feet right
now and speak to the Rock, and the Rock will bring forth His waters. Will you
stand?
Who wants Him for salvation?
Raise your hand, say, "I want Him to come in my heart." God bless
you. God bless you. God bless you. God bless you, and you, and you, and you.
Oh, my. Yes, sir.
That cancer left you there, my
brother. It's gone. You can go home and be well now. Hallelujah. That's true.
All that wants to be healed,
raise your hand, say, "Lord, I'm speaking to You. I'm speaking to
You." That's right.
There He goes. Mister, your
sinus left you there. You are free. Go home in Jesus Christ's Name; you're
healed.

Anybody in here that wants to find Him now, raise up your hands and say,
"Thank You, Lord, for healing me. I'm speaking to You in the Name of Jesus
Christ, that You heal me."
O God, of mercy, send Your
power tonight with the anointing of the Holy Ghost, while He's in this building
now just sweep over this audience. And may the Holy Ghost perform every
miracle. May there not be a sick or a crippled person left in the building tonight.
May You heal every one, in Jesus Christ's Name.
