Get away from the things of the world

135 Me, as an old man, a minister, I preached around the world, got millions of friends, *but I know I’ve got to stand with you yonder. Get away from the things of the world. And if there is something in you, that you still want to act the way you act, if you do have the things of the world in you, remember, you’re none of God’s. You’re just a church member, until that call; that deep, calling to the Deep.* See?

I'd still love Him

And I—I love Him tonight with all my heart. And I believe if—if He would cast me away, He's still just. And if I'd have to go to hell, and if there'd be such a thing as love in hell, I'd still love Him. For what He's been to me, even now, besides what I know that He will be to me…

9  And if I—I believe His Gospel. If—if tonight, a hundred people would raise up or a thousand people that died when… When Billy Sunday preached in this tabernacle and his converts, and would come back from Eternity and say, "Brother Branham, you're dying now. Don't you trust that Jesus Christ, because it's not so." And if I was dying, I'd still trust Jesus Christ.

If I prayed for the sick tonight, a thousand people, all of them sick, and I prayed for the thousand people, and all—the whole thousand died in the morning, tomorrow night, I'd still stand just as I am now, and pray for the sick, believing Divine healing, 'cause God has said so in His Word, and I believe it.

Go early if you want to pray; rise up early

Nighttime, when all demon powers shut down towards morning. When they're not roaming, that's the time the Holy Spirit moves in and talks to me. Go early if you want to pray; rise up early. Most all the…?… workers is gone…?… demons… demons… And places are closing up. That causes strange things… You know what I mean by that.

Take your choice, but then don’t never disfellowship the other man because he don’t belong...

Not one time was we ever commissioned to discern the—the man’s group. But we was constrained and commanded by God to discern the spirit in the man, what he’s trying to do, what the spirit in his life is trying to lead him to. And then if we can find out that he’s trying to lead the people (not to break them up, but to bring them together) and to bring the Church of the living God, not all to one denomination, but to an understanding, a fellowship, a unity of spirit. Then if he is former rain or latter rain, or whatever it is, his spirit and his purpose is right. And the spirit that’s in him, no matter what move he belongs to, the Spirit that’s in him is trying to point the people to Calvary, away from himself or away from anything else, but his only achievement he has is to point them to Calvary. He doesn’t care whether he’s even knowed or not. He doesn’t care whether even his own movement…which is fine, see, it’s good, if he is a Methodist, or a Presbyterian, or a Roman Catholic, or whatever he wants to be by denomination.

17 But what is he trying to do, the purpose of his heart that he’s trying to get? Then you can see what’s in the man’s life, whether his motives is for his—his denomination, whether it’s for hisself, whether it’s for worldly fame, whether it’s for big names, to say, “I predicted that, come just exactly to pass.” Now, you see that’s wrong right there, to begin with. But if he’s trying to use what God’s give him, as a teacher, as a prophet, as a seer…

18 A New Testament prophet is a preacher. We all know that. Just any minister that’s a preacher is a prophet, a New Testament prophet, if he’s prophesying, preaching, not to try to edify himself to make a big name, or to edify his organization. Which, he should be in an organization. Here I am without one, but yet preaching you should be. That’s right. Every man ought to have a church home. You ought to have a place, not just to float about from pillar to post, but have somewhere that you go to church and you call it your church, somewhere you pay your tithes, and somewhere that you help support the Cause. Take your choice, but then don’t never disfellowship the other man because he don’t belong with your group. See? Discern his spirit and see if he’s got the same purpose in heart, then you got fellowship one with another. You’re working for one great Cause. That’s the cause of Christ. I think that that is absolutely true.

Every day, fresh, a new blessing,

82 Be a shepherd, a true shepherd. “Feed My sheep.” Lamb’s is the little ones, of course, and sheep is the adult. So both young and old, feed the flock of God! See? And feed them with the Word! The Word (you see?) is the Truth! Jesus said, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” Is that right? So then, if man is to live and they are the flock of God, this—the church, then they are to thrive upon the Word and Manna of God. This is His Manna!

83 In the—the Bible, we just come through it over there in the—in the—in the Church Ages. Jesus is the hidden Manna; Christ is the church’s Manna. What is manna? Manna in the Old Testament was that what come down from Heaven fresh every night to sustain the church in its journey. Is that right? Now, in the New Testament what is the hidden Manna? “A little while and the world seeth Me no more (hidden); yet ye shall see Me, for I’ll be with you, even in you to the end of the world.” And Christ is that hidden Manna that comes from God out of Heaven afresh every day—every day.

84 We can’t say, “Well, two weeks ago I had a great experience of God.” What about right now? See? Every day, fresh, a new blessing, a new something coming from God, the hidden Manna coming down from God out of Heaven, Christ. And we feast upon this Manna which is Christ, and He sustains us through the journey till we reach the—the land on the other side.

Don’t jerk it all and wrap yourself up in it and say, “Freeze to death.” If you’re cold, let me help you. When it comes to a place you don’t want to help a fallen brother… You think he’s fallen, help him some way; stand between the gaps. Gap up the way with love. That’s the cement that puts the church of God together, is the cement of God’s holy love among brethren* .

Walk unconscious of criticism.

54-1212

He Swore By Himself

Just walk unconscious of fear. Walk unconscious of criticism. Walk unconscious unto the world. Walk, as you walk in Christ, walk with Him. Not paying any attention, the right or left hand; just keep moving on. If something comes up in the church; walk with God. Hallelujah!

We’re living in a day of great uncertainty.

93 And now we’re living in a day of great uncertainty. We all know that; the day of uncertainty, and the time of uncertainty. I don’t believe there ever was a time…Since time first began back in the garden of Eden, when sin come in and broke Eternity into time, I do not believe there’s ever been a space of time with so much uncertainty as today. Because, there’s not even one hope left in the natural world today. 94 Now, you say, “Well, I seen times, and read in history, when the wars covered the earth.” That is true. 95 But never a time when the whole earth would be blowed to pieces, just in one second. See? And such a destruction, it’d take weeks and hours, and so forth, now it takes one minute, maybe not that. Just a button pressed, and she’s all over. It’s awful. And they don’t have…Cuba can do it, herself. It don’t have to, a little bitty…Haiti’s could do it. Just any little nation that wants to, can set the world completely on fire, and blow her out of her orbit, any time they want to. See? It only takes one fanatic, where there’s tens of billions of them around the world, to do that.

You see, it’s just in our head.

22 Now, notice modern happenings that we have. We look at this scientific age that we live in—the push-button age.

And yet, people have less time to pray than they ever did have, in all these modern times.

They used to set all night and listen to a sermon. And now we just can’t do it. We haven’t got time to do it.

You see, it’s just in our head. We think we haven’t got time to do it, but we have.

You may feel condemned in your heart

45 It looks dark like it did for the little woman. But if you’ll just take God’s promise now, that “whosoever will, let him come and drink from the Waters of Life, the Fountains of Life freely…” Drink the Water freely. It’s for whosoever will. That might have been put upon you. You might have done that evil. You may feel condemned in your heart, you Christians now, on what I said a while ago, because something, iniquity lays in your heart.

Maybe it happened for a purpose to get you closer to God. That happened to me. My life has been different since I seen that. I thought I was just living fine. But I found out that let that God raise His hand one time, and Satan’s got me. We’re mortal. And it was just a blessing in disguisement. It makes me appreciate Him more now to know that He’s loving, and willing to take us back.

His gifts are fine, but I want the Giver

14 Not long ago, my little girl called me, when I was here the other time. It kind of give me a thought. She said, “Daddy, I want you to come home.”

And I said, “Honey, from Texas I sent you a—a little doll.” She said—she’s just four years old. I said, “I sent you a little doll, honey.”

She said, “I got it Daddy.” And I said—She said, “I want you to come home, daddy.”

And I said, “Well, honey, I sent you a little rabbit from down Chattanooga.”

She said, “I got it, daddy.” But she said, “I want you to come home.” See?

And I said, “Well, honey, I—daddy…”

She said, “Daddy, I love you, and I love the gifts that you give me, but I want daddy.”

15 That’s it. All of His gifts are wonderful, but I want Father. I love His gifts, to hear Him in the manifestations, the praising God, and shouting, and healing, and speaking with tongues, and the interpretation of tongues, and all the different gifts. I love to set and watch them. I have not them, but I love to watch them in operation in the Church. But after all that, I want Jesus. I—I want it. His gifts are fine, but I want the Giver in here. See? That’s right.

Something that they can talk to, that will talk back to them

46 I think no church in its practice, no matter how intellectual and fundamental it might be, that church cannot thrive until the Supernatural is made known among that people, and they see it. Something that they can talk to, that will talk back to them, that a vindicates this written Word.

Tables for ladies...

13 I was passing down one of your streets here a few days ago, and I seen in a barroom. It said, “Tables for ladies.” I don’t mean to be rude, and I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. But ladies don’t go in places like that. They’ve never had one in there. [Audience applauds—Ed.] I’d imagine they’ve never had a customer and never will, because it’s no place for ladies. But fine people sometime, see those things and—and see people who are up-and-up (what we call them) go into such places, and they think that’s the thing for them to do. “Fear God and keep his commandments for this is the whole duty of man.”

14 But you see, the—the king had said this is all right, because his wife thought it was all right. And they’d caused a moral decay. And then, they thought because they were prosperous, no wars and so forth, that that was the sign that God was with them. Prosperity is not always the sign that God is with you. Many times that’s deceiving. The rain falls on the just and the unjust. But it’s by their fruits they are known.

Amen!!!

And it impressed the boys so, that each one become a sailor.

16  And here some time ago, I was reading an article where there was a home, and five boys was borned in this home. And as soon as the oldest one got old enough to go to the Navy, off to the Navy he went. The second one followed, the next one, until all the whole five went away to the Navy. And there was no Marines or Navy men in their family. The mother and father couldn't understand just why these people, these boys, every one wanted to go to the Navy.

There was a—a real fine-combing investigation made of this. And come to find out, in the bedroom where these boys all was brought up, in this bedroom, there's a beautiful big picture hanging there of a big ship sailing on a quiet, calm sea. And it so impressed the boys as they went to bed at night, looking at this picture. It was on their mind to sail that quiet, soothing sea. And on the morning when they arose, the first thing they could look at was that ship making her way through the quiet, calm sea. And it impressed the boys so, that each one become a sailor.

Now, if the picture of a ship will impress boys to become Navy men, sailors of the sea, what ought the picture of the Lord Jesus Christ do? See? Always have the right thing before your children. "Bring up a child in the way that it should go." See? Bring it up and teach it right. It'll certainly, won't depart from it.

And on the bottom, in a little corner, said, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever,” way down in the corner. See?

92 They took all the sacredness from Christ, and put it onto some man, or some church, or some organization. Brother, I’m telling, you can get by with glamour, Hollywood clowning, like that, in a…by the church. But, in the Presence of Jesus Christ, He is the One to be glorified. That’s right.

God grant it to us, that we’ll have the courage to do it...

71 Sin among the Christians, among the Elect! They’ve sold their birthrights out, for popularity. The minister has swapped the Gospel for a social party. He has swapped the old-fashion Blood-washed Gospel for intellectual with the people, to preach intellect, talk of society, and mis-use the Gospel. Many of them has went out into the fields, a preaching, and used the Gospel for personal gain, to make money. Many of them has got big barns and cars, and things that they never would have had, personal gain. Not all; I’m thankful that there is still a remnant.

72 In the days of Ezra, when Ezra begin to weep, and to call out and to rebuke the sin, you know what happened? All the elect, that trusted God, gathered around him. 
73 What we need today is men and women…Your preachers is preaching, those churches, and call sin “sin,” and rebuke it, the real people of God would gather right up around you, and stay with you. That’s right. It’s time to call out, and say which is which, separate right from wrong. God grant it to us, that we’ll have the courage to do it.

When you take your stand for Jesus Christ, stay there and die by it. What God says is the truth, and don't you fear what… Satan hasn't got anything to do about it. Don't argue with him; don't fuss with him. Just ignore him and walk away. If you fuss with him, he will keep you fussing day and night. See? "Well," he will say, "You know you're not healed."
You'll say, "Well, now, look, Satan, I want to tell you something." Don't say it. Just say, "Get away, I don't want to hear nothing about you." And walk on, and say, "Thank You, Lord." Go on. See? Don't pay any attention to it.

Whose battle?

And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle [is] not yours, but God's.

It takes more than a good message from the pulpit

92 Oh, what we need today is a calling together, a getting ready. And not depending on the preacher, but you, as an individual before God, make yourself ready for the Coming of the Lord, to escape all this corruption. 

93 No matter what they call you, and what action they take, that doesn’t change God one bit. God will do it, just the same. He’s depending and waiting on us. Oh, my! 

94 Some people say, “Well, I go to church on Sunday morning. I listen to our pastor, which is a fine preacher.” That’s good. I appreciate that. And you are the America, the world, whoever it is. But it takes more than a good message from the pulpit. It takes your life. It takes you, to get ready.
