<TITLE>02. Par 5-7</TITLE>L-5 Then when God sent this little fellow Moses, he was born kind of an odd birth, and in a peculiar time, and God hid him away. It was God's election, and calling of--to send Moses down there. Moses couldn't help 'cause he was Moses; but how God preserved his life, it was predestination and foreordained will of God. And then, when He finally got him into the desert to herd the sheep of Jethro, after he had become a murderer...
Then one day God spoke to him in a burning bush, in a... God told him to take off his shoes for the ground was holy were he stood. And how that God led that church in the natural is a perfect type of the spiritual He's leading it today. He brought out Israel, the natural, by signs, wonders, and miracles. He brings out the spiritual in this day; signs, wonders, miracles. God has always... They've always accompanied God, because God is supernatural. He's a Creator, and His whole... There's nothing impossible to Him.

L-6 And when a man becomes borned again of the Spirit of God, he becomes an offspring, or a son of God. And then he has the same type of mind that God does. The mind that was in Christ is in us. And we believe for the--for the unseen, for the miraculous, and just anything. See? And then we have the Holy Spirit Who bring--comes to us and speaks to us concerning these things.
And that's the whole purpose of these meetings, dear Christian friend. It's for no other purpose before God, but that you're faith in God might be stimulated to a place to believe Him for the salvation of your soul and for the healing of your body.

L-7 It was remarked to me just...?... few weeks ago by the president of the Southern Baptist Convention, from which I'm a member of that body of people. They said, "Brother Branham, the only thing that's in your meeting, that we've heard that you use so much of the time on Divine healing, not enough for the soul."
They want to sponsor a meeting in Louisville, Kentucky, Southern Baptist Convention, seventy Baptist churches in Louisville.
Well, I said, "Sir, you do not understand. The Divine healing part of my program is only the bait that's on the hook. You don't show the fish the hook; you show him the bait." See?
I said, "The people when they see what God is, then the Gospel catches them. See? That's for the soul."
He said, "You ever have any converts?"
I said, "In the past seven years I've had a little over three hundred and fifty thousand in my meetings alone, besides what others has went out." That kindly stumped them.
Said, "Where'd all these converts go?"
I said, "To the church of their choice." I said...
He said, "Well, most of them Pentecostal gets."
I said, "That's right. Because Pentecostal believes in this, and Pentecostal comes, and Pentecostal takes away." I said, "That's right. You don't believe it, so you stay away from it, and you don't get it. Many of your people come, and they get into it, and they see, and they believe on that, and they just go on." I said, "If you'd just let down..."
Oh, He said, "Well, what about Christian Science and a lot of those isms?"
I said, "If you people would've stayed where you should've stayed, we wouldn't have had those cults. (See, see?) If you'd have went ahead and preached the Gospel... A man's a supernatural being, he's hungering after God, and if he can't find the real food of God, he'll eat out of anything he can find." And I said, "Because he's a supernatural being inside of him." I said, "That's the reason he makes automobiles and invents. He can almost create, because he's made in the image of God." So that was it.
