22-0711P_LED BY THE SPIRIT PT.3_(WALK CLOSER TO GOD)
Luk 2:25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
BUT THE GREATEST THING I'VE
FOUND IN CHRISTIAN LIFE IS LETTING THE HOLY SPIRIT LEAD YOU AND GUIDE YOU.
E-4 And now, one of the most
wonderful things of God and the Christian, the connection of the fellowship
between God and Christians, is that they that are sons of God are led by the
Spirit of God.
(Can you hear me all right now in the back? Is it all right?
If you can, raise your hands, if you can hear back there all right. That's
fine. And I'm trying to stand just as close as possible to this microphone. It
may, give a roar, I do not know.)
But
the greatest thing I've found in Christian life is letting the Holy Spirit lead
you and guide you. And His work is marvelous. How many
in here's ever been led by the Spirit, let's see your hands. Oh, my, that's
wonderful. Led by the Spirit of God...
There's no
one would lead you to the altar but the Spirit of God. There's no one would bring you here
tonight 'less it was the Spirit of God.
Is that right? He moves in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform.

THE CHURCH OF GOD IS LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD. THEY MOVE AS
THE SPIRIT MOVES THEM.

E-58 …..Look, the highest order in the Bible for the church, the local church is the elder. And the elder can't move until the bishop says. Has... God has to come through the bishop, down through the, oh, about fifteen different men before He can get to the elder.

E-59 But let me tell you, the Church of God is led by
the Spirit of God. They move as the Spirit moves them. God didn't promise just to move
with bishops. Elders is what's the head of the church, every church.
Now, God sends a message, He'd send it to His elders. But if He has to go out and see what the bishop says and what the district presbyter says... And everybody in the church is a pulling to get a feather in your hat. "Maybe I can be the district man next year if I pull a few tricks here and a few there." Brother, I don't care about the district man, I want to be a Christian next year. Hallelujah. Contending for the faith that was once delivered to the saints...
WHAT YOU NEED IS AN OLD FASHION UPPER ROOM, WITH A PRAYER
MEETING, WHERE YOU PRAY DOWN THE POWER OF GOD
E-61 "Well, we have a stitch-and-sew
party." Stitch-and-sew, yeah, you stitch-and-sew, and sew-and-stitch, and
stitch-and-sew and talk about Miss So-and-so and everything else. Why, it's a
shame. What you need is
an old fashion upper room, with a prayer meeting, where you pray down the power
of God, and the Holy Ghost begins to move. That's what you need.
Earnestly contending for the faith that was once delivered to
the saints... What they did back there... They didn't have all these different
things, and all this here societies, and this societies, and that organization,
and this organization. They were one in Christ Jesus. The Holy Ghost poured out His
power upon them, and they went forth doing miracles and signs.

180 Now, you can express it by mental conception, but
if it becomes a real revelation of God, that you see it before it happened, and
express it in word form, that word takes a hold and becomes material: a thought
expressed.
Oh, my, how God could... See? If your heart and your
mind is so, and infilled with God's Spirit, until your thoughts become His
thoughts... Amen. There you are. When
your mind, and your leading, and your guiding, becomes a direct place, or a
direct inspiration of the Holy Spirit that's moving your mortal being...
Oh, my.
What
kind of people should we be?
If the very Holy Spirit has you so embodied or empowered, that you don't
use your own thoughts, you don't use your own mind, you don't use your own
opinion; but the Holy Spirit has you so built, until your thoughts and your
being is God's Spirit expressing Itself through you, what kind of a church
would we be?
What kind of a people would it be, this morning, if this Branham Tabernacle, this morning, was so filled with the Presence of God, why, when you didn't even use your own mind, didn't even use your own thoughts, didn't even have no alternative of your own, but just to be led by the Spirit...?
THEN WHEN THE HUMAN ELEMENT
GOES OUT, AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD FILLS THAT VACANCY
THE.WORD.BECAME.FLESH.INDIA.TRIP.REPORT_ JEFF.IN V-26 N-5 SUNDAY_ 54-1003M
183 "And they that are sons of God are
led by the Spirit of God." Then when the human element goes out, and the Spirit of
God fills that vacancy, where you empty yourself (amen), then will be when the
Church in Its power of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, will walk in His
steps, in His Power, in His thoughts, in His Being, in His moving... You see what I mean? Then your thoughts will
become words, and words will become material. That's when the Church in its
power...
I believe it's on its road, that when the Church will be so wrapped in Christ, the Holy Spirit, mankind so away from theirselves, that they don't see themselves, they don't have no... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... thoughts but to serve God. And their thoughts move on. They refuse the things of the world. They just move in the Spirit, live in the Spirit, move in the Spirit, walk in the Spirit, so fulfill the law of Christ. Then the love of Christ in the human heart, moving in the Holy Ghost, that great wonderful Church will go forth with power and Deity; because Deity will be revealed in human beings by the Holy Spirit bringing to pass the thought of their mind.

185 Our thoughts run different. A lot of
times we walk up, say "How do you do, brother?" And you don't mean it
in your heart. A lot of times we say, "I am this and that. I will do
that." You don't mean it in your heart. See? I don't mean it in my heart.
But when you
can become so dead to the things of the world, that Christ is first, Christ is
all, then your entire makeup is of the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ, He has full control.
That's when your thoughts will be clean. Your thoughts will be pure. Your
heart--your heart...
Many people say, "Well, religion comes from your
heart." There's no mental facilities in that little being called
"heart." You can't think with your heart. The Bible said, "As a man
thinketh in his heart, so is he." You can't think with your heart. You
can't, 'cause there's nothing mentally in there to think with. Jesus wasn't
speaking of the physical being; He was speaking of the supernatural being.
