<TITLE>05. Par 40-45</TITLE>L-40 Beautiful. God took Christ, at Calvary, tore Him apart, Soul and Body. He sent the Body up to His right hand and sent the Holy Spirit back, the Covenant with the people. And you believe by faith, like Abraham did, and he was given the seal of circumcision for a confirmation of his faith. And you believe and accept Jesus as your Saviour, then God gives you the baptism of the Holy Ghost as a confirmation of your faith.
You say you believe, and haven't received the Holy Spirit, something wrong with your faith. God circumcises the heart the minute the believer really comes in full surrender. Amen. Say, That, folks, surely must've done something; I felt that even come back. Get it. When the believer... Here it is now. When the believer firmly believes on the Lord Jesus Christ, God's under obligation to give him the Holy Ghost: confirmation of his faith. Say, "What's the matter, Brother Branham?" Just your faith; that's all. If you'd surely believe, God's there to give It to you.
"While Peter spake these Words, the Holy Ghost fell on them that heard the Word." Is that right? Acts 10:49. All right, notice, the Holy Ghost and Fire came from heaven, burnt out all the dross, circumcised the heart, cut off all the surplus, and become a new creature.

L-43 Now, then we find that after four hundred years... Last night we had the type of the patriarchs: got back in between the lines and see why they wanted to be buried in--in promised land. Did you like it? Enjoy that? Why, now that's not written right there, but you see it.

L-44 Like we was talking of Abraham, and how God took Sarah and Abraham when they was a hundred years old, and turned them back to a young man and woman again, and give them this baby. That was kinda hard to see at first. But after you look at the Scriptures, look down there and find out what taken place, you see it's the truth. What was He doing? Confirming His Word, that someday we who turn old and gray and wrinkled, someday we'll spring back to a young man and young woman again. God gave us life, and we come to the maturity, death set in, taken us away. But all that death can do is take us away, then it's finished. Then all the--the old doubting part and everything, it's like the man life in there has gone out, then there's nothing left but perfection. What this body was when it was in perfection, what God intended when it resurrects in the resurrection, it'll be perfection. Amen. Oh, when I think of that, my heart just turns flip-flops. Yeah. It's not just a mythical dream. It's THUS SAITH THE LORD. God said so, then I'll base my life right there. Yes sir. God said so; that settles it forever. See? It's settled in heaven, and if a little piece of heaven is in our heart, it ought to settle it there. That's all. That just makes it all right. "God, You said so. I believe It, and that's just all; that's enough."

L-45 Now, now we bring them down just before the journey. And we find out there that when Moses (We got it last night.) coming down into the herding Jethro's sheep, and we come to find out that God spoke to him. And Moses wanted to see His Glory. And God showed him His Glory, and it was performing miracles and Divine healing. Is that right? That must be God's Glory. Talk about Shekinah Glory, we ought to have It tonight.
