Now, if He is the living Word, then This wrote on the Bible is part of Him; then if you can receive This, into Him (which is the Word), this Word comes into you by faith, makes It alive, because the…Oh! Catch That! The Word comes into you, if the Holy Spirit's in there, it's alive as soon as it comes in, and every promise is true. Nothing… “Therefore, if you say to this mountain ‘Be moved,’ and don't doubt in your heart.” Because (what?) you are Deity speaking. You believe it? Bible said so. And whatever you say shall come to pass if you'll not doubt, if you can get all of the—the world bred out of you, let the Holy Spirit make you a full son or daughter of God: no world, no condemnation, no doubt. What is it, then? It's no more you, it's God in you. Then you take His Word, It's a promise, and say, “Father, it's Your promise.” “Satan,…” Something's got to move.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
Oh, if we didn't have so many other things on our mind. You know, sometimes we'll come to church, thinking about, “Tomorrow I gotta do this; the next day, I've got to do this.” When we come to church, we ought to lay aside every thought and every thing of the world, and enter into fellowship with Christ and worship: meditating, worshipping in our hearts, and giving songs and praises to Him, thinking of His goodness, and what He means to us, worshipping in the Spirit, singing spiritual songs, making melodies in our heart. Even the Bible said, “If there's any afflicted, let them sing songs.” Be happy; be in meditation, always expecting God at any moment to appear to you.
Yes sir, if you are a Christian you are going to do what is right. Your works will show that your heart is right. And it won't be something that you put on, for you will do His will when no one but God sees you, and you will do His will even if it costs you your life.

Look what it puts me before, when I'm up there before the public. Look at that. What about one error on that? See? Because I trust Him. See? I trust Him. Someone say, "You afraid of a mistake, Brother Branham." No, no, huh-uh, ain't afraid of mistake. I believe Him. He is my Protection. I'm ordained to do this, so I'll stay right there. If God has ordained you to do something, then He is your Protection. See, He will protect you. If He sent you, He'll back up your word. You're an ambassador then.

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
Now, if I obeyed Him in my peculiar way, and you obeyed Him in your peculiar way, He give us both the Holy Ghost, so we ought to be Christian brethren and sister enough, to arm up together and march on for one great purpose, the Gospel.
Oh, how I think of God separating Himself that He might dip down into His big soul and pour out a little spoonful in me, and reach over and pour out a spoonful in you, and in you, and in you, and you, and you, dividing Himself, the fire, the cleansing power of God. Then, if you have a spoonful, and I have a spoonful, and we both get together, we got two spoonfuls. And if fifty of us are together, we got fifty spoonfuls. Where there is unity, where there is gathering, there is safety and whatmore. It's just twice as hard as in the prophet's hand, the sticks to break. Two sticks are harder to break than one.

Then He rose up from the grave and ascended on High. Jehovah, returning in the form of the Holy Ghost to live in His Church, among His people. Glory! Jehovah, walking down through the church, discerning the thoughts of the mind. Jehovah, healing the sick. Jehovah, speaking through lips till the man hasn't got no control of hisself. Jehovah, coming back in English and translating it. You want a sign? Amen!

Now, look son, nervousness is the hardest thing there is to fight, worse than cancer, because you can't mentally balance yourself right. You see? You can't get your mind running right. But now, you start from right now knowing that you're standing in the Presence of God, and say, "This hour, right now, I am healed." And go out saying the same thing, say it till you actually believe it (See, see?), till you really believe it. And then you'll get well. Do you believe that? Now, go rejoicing and let me know what happens to you now.

And I believe we're on the borderland tonight. I was wondering about all my meetings and things, how I had to cancel them out. I truly believe, before the church can have the rapture, it's got to have rapturing faith. We can't even have faith for Divine healing, let alone rapturing faith. Got to have a faith that'll change and quicken this body, and be taken away. I believe there's a church on its road tonight, a power of the living God, that men will speak the Word here and there, and it'll flash like lightning. And a church is coming out, not a psychologist, not some of this put-on, make-belief; but a real, true, genuine, anointed Holy Ghost, called-out church. Amen.

You can't impersonate love. You've got to have it. It's got to be a product that God has given you. It's not what you imagine. It's something God has done. Like I was talking today to someone. When I get ready to leave and go overseas, I don't get my wife and say, “Here Mrs. Branham, tell you something: Thou shalt not have no other husbands; I'm your husband. Let me hear you being out with somebody else, you know what you're going to get when I get home? Thou shalt not flirt with anyone else.”
Now, wouldn't that be a home. That's about like the church is. “If you go to that revival, I'll give you your papers to your church.” That's right. Oh, we're the ransomed church of God, there you are. Oh, we need love, sure we do.
Men are not infallible, but God is. Man, you get your mind on a man, he'll make a mistake. Maybe not willfully, but he'll do it. God permits him to do it so that He can shake your faith away from man. Our faith is not in the wisdom of man, but in the power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. That's where the true Seed of Abraham rests their promise. Because, they can only be the Seed of Abraham when they receive the Holy Spirit. Without the Holy Spirit they're not the Seed of Abraham. That same faith that was in Abraham comes into the believer. No matter what takes place or how contrary, the believer marches right on.

Verse 8, “And all that dwell upon the earth” (all whose names are not written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world) “shall worship him.”
Thank God the sheep will not worship him. Everyone but the very elect will be deceived. But they will not be deceived. For they hear the Shepherd's voice and they follow Him.
