Rom 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Rom 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Rom 8:12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
Rom 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
TOKEN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-19 SUNDAY_ 63-0901M
106 And the Holy Ghost is our identification.
It's what identifies us as Christians. Not our membership in churches, not our
understanding of the Bible, not how much you know about the Bible. It's how
much you know about the Author, see, how much the Author is living in you. It's
your--it's your self gone. You're no more. You reckon yourself dead, and the
Token is what lives in you. And It's not your life; It's Him.
107 Paul said, "The life that I now
live." He lived a different life from what he once did. "Is not me,
but Christ liveth in me." There is the identified Token that God required.
Identified with our... Identification with our Sacrifice, the Life of our Saviour
in us, the Holy Spirit.
108 Oh, what a--what a positive Token! There
cannot be any more Token. Oh, my, if you only could catch the--the thought of
it. If I had the--the power this morning, with words, to express and place into
your soul that's on the in; not your ears, but your soul, and you--you could
see the guarantee of It. It--it takes, It makes you so relaxed.
TOKEN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-19 SUNDAY_ 63-0901M
115 The Token is applied.
Only the Token is recognized now. See, He did that so that the Token could
come. The Token was God's Life.
116 And when God made the first man, He made Him a son. And the son was so corrupt that he listened to his wife instead of God, and the woman listened to the devil instead of her husband, and, when it did, it so corrupted them together, that it brought a pollution. And He knew, that when they did that, they'd have to bring children into the world. The fruit in the midst of the tree could not be touched, and, then, when it was, they brought this sin upon themselves. And therefore the whole human race, that was born, was in sin. There, no way to come out.
TOKEN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-19 SUNDAY_ 63-0901M
117 And then God came down.
There's only one way to get him back; that's to get Him back a son again. And
how can He do it, when His Own Law stood there and said he's
"condemned"? Then the Father Himself become one of us. That's the
real Lamb. That's His purpose He had in mind.
118 That's the reason the Lamb was so identified in the Garden of Eden, knowing that the Lamb and Dove would meet at one time, when the Lamb and Dove would be together. That's when He knowed, through that, we can all be together. And He was willing to make such a sacrifice, now, that the Token could be applied, that we are no more aliens, we are no more strangers, but we're sons and daughters of God. Both Adam and Eve, the woman and the man, joined together, are sons and daughters of God, in Christ Jesus, by His great sacrifice.
TOKEN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-19 SUNDAY_ 63-0901M
119 And, then, so that there would be no mistake! The seed of this life that must be planted in the earth, of this body that is a--a perishable seed; and the life, if it's a perverted life in the seed, it perishes with the seed. But He put Eternal Life into it and identified it as His Own, that in the resurrection He'd raise it up again, not going to be lost. Do you see what I mean? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]
120 There it is, it cannot perish now. The
Life lays over it. It's a Token, lays over that little body, lays over that
soul of that person. There is a Token over there, the Holy Spirit, that it
belongs to God. It's His. "When I see the Token, I'll pass over you."
A positive Token, the Holy Spirit is our Token. Therefore, when you receive the
Holy Ghost, you've passed from death to Life. That's all there is to it, 'cause
Life is in you. You can no more perish.
121 The Bible said, "He that's born of God
does not commit sin, for he cannot sin, for the Seed of God," amen,
"the Seed of God remains in him." And how can he sin when the sinless
God is in him? When he's in a sinless God, how can he sin? No matter what he's
done, the Blood's covered him. See? He's a new creature now. His desires and
ambitions is of Heaven, because he's changed from a cocklebur to a wheat. His
desires ain't the same as they once was, and he displays it.
122 You say, "Oh, I believe That." And still sinning? Na! You're deceived. See? It can't display nothing but the Token.
TOKEN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-19 SUNDAY_ 63-0901M
123 Israel was commanded to
stay under that blood until marching orders come. "Don't go out from under
it!" When once under that token, they were sealed in there. "Don't
leave that!" They stayed right there until the midnight struck and the
trumpets blowed. And when the trumpets blowed, the old rams horns begin to
blow, each one marched out with his provision, going to the promised land.
124 So does a man or woman who is filled with the Holy Ghost, he is sealed away, and secured from all harm and danger. His whole life displays what he is, wherever he walks, whatever business he does, whoever he talks with. When he comes in contact with women, when he comes in contact with associates, when he comes in contact with everything, that Token is laying there. Amen! When it comes to death, "I'll fear no evil, for Thou art with me," that Token lays there. When it comes to the resurrection, he'll be there, for God will raise him up at the last day. Jesus said so! "When I see the Blood, the Token, I'll pass over you." Oh!
TOKEN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-19 SUNDAY_ 63-0901M
125 Remember, if that token
was not displayed, even the covenant was annulled. That's right. The covenant
was annulled. There was no--there was no covenant as long as that token wasn't
there. The token stood for the covenant. God made a covenant with them, yes,
sir, but the token had to be. It wasn't in effect, the covenant wasn't, unless
the token was there.
126 There might be many Jews could say,
"Come here! I ain't got no blood on my door, but I want to show you
something, I'm a circumcised Jew. I am circumcised." That didn't mean
that. [Brother Branham snaps his finger--Ed.] "When I see the blood! When
I see the token!"
127 You might say, "I am Baptist,
Presbyterian, Methodist," or whatever you want to be.
But, "When I see the
Token!"
128 You say, "I'm a believer. My mother was a member of this church. My daddy was a member of this church. I've been a member there since a child." That don't mean that. [Brother Branham snaps his finger--Ed.] "I don't lie, steal. I don't do this. I..." That don't mean that. [Brother Branham snaps his finger.] "I belong to Branham Tabernacle. I do this, that, or the other. I believe all the Word."

71 "We are saved by the Blood of God." That's where my faith is. Not walk out there in the blood of a prophet, not walk out there in the blood of an ordinary man, or a teacher, or a theologian. We walk there in the Blood of God. God said so. He become human being. He changed His strand. He stretched His tent here, with us, and become one of us. He is our Kinsman Redeemer. He had to become kinfolks to us, 'cause that was the law. God became man and dwelled among us.
75 No matter how many churches you joined,
how many times you've been baptized; face forward, backwards, any way you want
to. Until that Seal is placed upon you, then you have no right to call yourself
a connected with your Sacrifice.
POSSESSING.THE.GATE.OF.THE.ENEMY.AFTER.TRIAL_ DENHAM.SP.LA SUNDAY_ 64-0322
77 And, remember, if you never was in God's thoughts, you'll never be with God. How many knows that He was a redeemer? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Well, then, anything redeemed has to come back to where it fell from. So if He come to redeem us, how could we, was one time didn't have to be redeemed, and we were all "born in sin, shaped in iniquity, come to the world speaking lies"? It shows that the real Christian is an attribute of God's thinking, before there was a world, or a star, or a air, or anything else. It's Eternal, and He come to redeem us back. It's God's thought, spoke into a word, made manifest and re-... brought back to His thought.
78 Kinsman Redeemer! That's the reason God
Himself had to become one of us, to redeem. Nothing else could do it. An Angel
couldn't do it, nothing else. He had to come down, be tempted like we are, to
redeem us.
TOKEN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-19 SUNDAY_ 63-0901M
129 Them Jews could say, "I believe
Jehovah!" He'd a listened to the Message of the hour, if he did.
Certainly.
They'd had a lot of messages, but
This was the Message of the hour. See? I believe the Message of the hour. Yeah.
The blood was applied in the evening time.
They might have said, "I,
I'm a Jew."
130 People say today, "I'm a Christian. I
can show you my long membership. I want you to tell me where I ever stole
anything, was ever in law courts. Show me where I ever committed adultery. I
haven't done all these things, or something like that. Show me one place."
That don't mean a thing now. No, no. See, no matter how much covenant he was,
the covenant is without effect. It's non-effective.
You say, "Well, I'm a Bible student."
TOKEN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-19 SUNDAY_ 63-0901M
131 I don't care what you are. Without that covenant, the wrath of God is upon you. See? That's right. It's caught up with you. Yeah. "Your sins will find you out." What is sin? Unbelief. You've disbelieved the Message. You've disbelieved the Word. You've disbelieved the witness of the Token, Itself, when It's identified Itself in the midst of us. And have you disbelieved That? No matter how much you disbelieve It, It's got to be applied.
132 You might say, "I believe It. I believe It. I believe It's the Truth. I accept It as the Truth." Then that's all good, but yet It's got to be applied.
TOKEN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-19 SUNDAY_ 63-0901M
133 Why, this one Jew standing there, stirring the blood, as the lamb was bleeding, saying, "This is Jehovah."
134 And there stood a priest, saying,
"Yes, sir, I believe that's true," but on his own house it hasn't
been applied. He don't want to identify himself out there with that group; no,
sir, this fanatics with the blood on the door. He don't want that identification.
No matter how much priest he was, how much he knowed the Word, how well he had
been raised, what works he had done, how much he had give to the poor, how much
he had sacrificed!
135 Paul said, "I give my body to be burned, as a sacrifice; give all my goods to feed the poor; I have faith to move mountains, and so forth; and speak in tongues, like man and angels; and all these other things," and said, "I am nothing until the Token has been applied. Until this Token!" That's what I'm speaking on tonight, the love. See? "Now, until this has been applied, I am nothing." See?
TOKEN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-19 SUNDAY_ 63-0901M
136 I don't care, you might have cast out devils. You might have healed the sick by your prayer of faith. You might have done all these things. But if that Token is not there, you're under the wrath of God. You might be a believer. You might stand in the pulpit and preach the Gospel. "Many will come to Me in that day, and say, 'Lord, Lord, have not I prophesied in Your Name, preached in Your Name? Have not I cast out devils in Your Name?'" That's both Methodists, Baptists, and Pentecostals. Jesus said, "Depart from Me, you that work iniquity. I never even knew you."
137 "But when I see the Token, I'll pass over you." It's God's requirement of the hour. The evening-time Message, is to apply the Token.
TOKEN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-19 SUNDAY_ 63-0901M
138 Satan has throwed all
kinds of counterfeits, of shaking hands, and evidences, and everything like
that. Forget it! The hour has arrived that the Token, Itself; not some
counterfeit, make-belief, substitutionary, anything.
139 The hour is here when the Token Himself is identifying Himself right among us, and proving that He is the same Jesus yesterday, today, and forever, and He's right with the Word. It's got to be applied. A man that says he's got the Token, deny this Word, then what about it? See, you can't do it. The Token has got to be there. "When I... The blood shall be a token unto you." Now the Holy Spirit, the Life that was in the Blood, is a Token unto you. Get to it in a moment, see. The Holy Ghost is the Token. The case is closed. Yes, sir. Now, remember. And I...
TOKEN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-19 SUNDAY_ 63-0901M
140 Doesn't matter what you are, how good you are, how many times you've jumped up-and-down, how many churches you've joined, how many good things you've done, it won't mean one thing to you if the Token isn't applied. This is the evening time. That worked all right in the days of Luther, that worked all right in the days of Wesley, but it don't work now. No.
141 Yeah, keeping up the lamb was all right then. Those who died then before the lamb was applied, the blood, it was different. Yes, sir. They went on because of good conscious. They would be judged whether they--they were...
MY.REDEEMER.LIVETH_ JEFF.IN V-26 N-15 SUNDAY_ 55-0410S
What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the Blood of Jesus. What can make me whole again, from every sickness, anything, any bondage that I was ever in? Nothing but the Blood of Jesus and the power of His resurrection. What a marvelous thing. I love Him. Don't you? [Congregation, "Amen."--Ed.] Blessed be His holy Name.

76 Now, was Job disappointed?
Did Job get left out because he believed this? Never. Never. Did Job get fooled
on what he saw, his revelation? Did the deep calling to the deep deceive Job?
Many might've thought it in his day. But, oh, how did it come out at the end?
And Job when he died, after being an old man, God blessed him in the life.
I tell you, you watch any persons
you want to. Listen to this, you tabernacle folks and you visitors with us.
Whatever life you live, that's whatever life you reap. You... Just as you sow,
you reap. I was forty-six years old the other day. God has let me live long
enough to see that you can't do wrong and get by. You've got to do the right
thing, because Christ is risen from the dead, and His eyes is upon the church,
and He watches it and guides it. Don't never go against the feelings of the
Holy Spirit when He tells you to do something. No matter what the world says,
you do what He says do. He will always vindicate the truth and keep the truth
straightened out.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
