<TITLE>04. Par 12-15</TITLE>L-12 Now, you want to talk about something ridiculous, let's look coming down across the hill here now. One beautiful morning, the sun's arising, the birds a whistling, here comes an old man, eighty years old, whiskers flying this a way, and a white hair a bushing behind him, a leading a little old mule with a wife setting astraddle with a young'n on each hip, crooked stick in his hand. Here he goes.
"Where are you going, Moses?"
"Going down to Egypt to take over!" A one man invasion, going to Egypt. Why, Egypt would just be like going over and taking over Russia.
The best mechanized units in the world was right there, but God told him, "I'm going to send you down to take over."
"Well, you mean you're going to take over?"
"Sure."
"Why? By your..."
"Yeah, God said so." That's right.
You say, "Are you going to take?"

L-13 "Sure, we're going to take over now. That's all. God said so." That's right. Just as long as God said so, amen. That--that settles it.
If God said so, you can do it. Is that right? Well, then let's just take over right now, and to tell the devil, that he ain't going to have no more to do with us. Every sick person's going to be healed; every blinded eye is going to be opened; every deaf is going to hear; every dumb tongue is going to speak; every sinner is going to fall at the platform and give their hearts to Christ. We're going to take over. See? God give it us. Go on over to take over.
"Well, where... Well, that's ridiculous, man." Could you imagine that? This old man kind of limping along, you know, this stick in his hand, going down...?...
Said, "Where you going?"
Said, "Going to take over. God said so. I'm going down to take over all Egypt."

L-14 Oh, my. Here... And he did. Certainly he did. He went down and took over because God was with him. Said, "What's you go in your hand?"
He said, "A stick." Wasn't very much, but it was a stick. Well, you might not have very much in your hand tonight.
You say, "Well, Brother Branham, I can't even whistle, let alone testify."
Well, brother, you can do something. Whatever is in your hand, get going. We're at the end of the road, brother. Let's get out here tomorrow. Let's testify to somebody. Let's do something about something. Don't stand still.
You say, "Well, I've been a timid person." Moses said the same thing. Just reminds me, one time over a football stadium, I was preaching in. I walked in. It said, a little sign up over there, said, "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog." So that's a good idea. You may not be so very big, but get a lot of fight about you. You got to get into it.

L-15 Anything I hate to see is a spineless person call themselves a Christian. My, God wants somebody with grit and backbone. I like old Buddy Robinson, said, "Lord, give me the backbone the size of a saw log, put plenty of knowledge in the gable end of my soul, and let me fight the devil as long as I got one tooth, and then gum him till I die." And he did. That's right. I like that.
He got down in the corn field, and he said, "Lord, if You don't give me the baptism of the Holy Ghost, when You come back to earth, You're going to find a pile of bones laying right here." God give him the Holy Ghost.
You got to get determined. That's right. Get ready. Take over. God said so. Let's go take over. That's what God wanted us to do. That's what God wants us to do tonight. God's always willing to give us, if we're ready to receive it. That's right. God's made the promise, so it's ours. The promise is unto you, and to your children, to them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. So the promise is here.
