<TITLE>08. Par 30-33</TITLE>L-30 The Bible said, "Gifts and callings are without repentance." You're born with these things. You believe in foreordination? For everybody? But things are foreordained of God. Jesus Christ was foreordained to be the Son of God at the garden of Eden. You believe that? "Thy seed shall bruise the serpent's head."
Moses was ordained of God, foreordained. When he was born, he was found a proper child. Is that right? True. And notice, I believe John the Baptist, seven hundred and twelve years before he was born, he was the voice of one crying in the wilderness. Is that right?
Jeremiah, I believe it was, God said, "Before you was even born, or 'fore you was formed in your mother's wombs, I knew you, and sanctified you, and ordained you a prophet over the nations, before you were ever born." Is that right?

L-31 Gifts and callings are without repentance. The Angel appeared to Mary and told her, Zechariah and so forth. Those things are real.
Now, for instance, to straighten up one thing, just for a moment, going to start the prayer line within the next five or six minutes. Some people say after the Holy Ghost is come, He leads the Church. There is no such a things as Angels appearing after the church, so I know that I'm talking to a bunch of holiness people.
Someone told me here a few months ago, said, "Brother Branham, I admire you as a man, but your teaching concerning an Angel coming to you, that's an error." Said, "For we do not need angels now." Said, "The Holy Ghost is here." Said, "The Holy Ghost, after He come, the Angels went away."
That's wrong. How many believes that--that Philip had the Holy Ghost? Let's see your hands. Well, who was it when he was having a revival at Samaria, that touched him and told him to go to the desert Gaza? The Angel of the Lord. Is that right?

L-32 How many believes Peter had the Holy Ghost? Preached the sermon at Pentecost. Well, while he was in prison, not the Holy Ghost, but the Angel of the Lord came in and touched him and led him outside the... Is that right? The Angel of the Lord.
How many believes that Paul had the Holy Ghost? When he was out on the ship, just about to go down, fourteen days and nights without stars, moon, or anything, or light. He went down in the gallery somewhere, and prayed, and come back out, and said, "Be of a good courage, for the Angel of the Lord, Whose servant I am, has appeared to me." Is that right--that right? You believe he had the Holy Ghost?
How many believes John the Revelator had the Holy Ghost? The entire Book of the Revelations was revealed to him by an Angel. "I have sent My Angel to testify." And John fell down and tried to worship the Angel. Is that right?
He said, "See that you do it not; I'm of thy fellow servants and of the prophet." Worship God. Is that right?

L-33 The Holy Ghost dispensation come in, and continued on, and will continue on, by the administration of Angels to the Church. Truly. But they're ordained Spirits of God, sent from God, to--to carry the--the things out. Every man was a special calling, back all through the ages, Angels has visit men. Not a worship of Angels (That's wrong.), like Brigham Young and so forth. But an Angel of God will testify to the truth of God. That's right. And it'll declare God. It won't have some kind of mythical something and no one understands. It'll speak of Jesus Christ, and testify of Jesus Christ, and produce Jesus Christ to the people. Amen.
I like that amen. That means, "so be it." And I--I like that.
