<TITLE>03. Par 7-10</TITLE>L-7 And now, I been studying a little so I could have the afternoon services and the evening services also. Perhaps, during that time in preaching, we may have some services just as we used to, just call the people up and pray for them.
It looks to me like if the Bible was read, and the Scriptures were given, and the people seen the Spirit of God move, look that ought to make a believer out of everybody. There should not be one shadow of doubt left nowhere. See?
Now, in Africa and other countries, that's all they have to see: just one thing performed. If they'd see someone, just the supernatural move of God, that convinces the whole entire audience. That's all they have to know. They believe it's right and so they just accept it. They just start raising up off of cots and stretchers and wheelchairs, and throwing away crutches, and piling them up in the corners, and walking away, testifying to one another. Just that simple. But now, he's got to see that it's real. It's got to come from the Scripture, then he believes.

L-8 In Acts the 27th chapter, I read these verses, beginning with the 21st:
... after a long abstinence Paul stood in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, you should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have caused this--gained this great harm and loss.
But now I exhort you to be of a good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship.
Now, listen.
For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, 
Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God has given thee all them that sail with thee.
Wherefore, sirs, be of a good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told unto me.

L-9 And may the Lord add His blessings to His Word. The Angel of the Lord, coming to Paul in the hour of distress... Now, do you believe that Angels die? They can't die. They're immortal beings. They are free from death. They cannot die. Now, then the Angel that stood with Paul is still somewhere in existence tonight. The God that was--met Paul on the road down to Damascus and shown around him like a big Light, that same Lord Jesus is alive and risen tonight. There was a Light that shown around. Is that right? A Light, perhaps, maybe the same Light that the children of Israel followed through the wilderness: a fire Light, Pillar of Fire, that led them in the darkness. I believe He's here tonight. I believe He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. And I--His works... Now, you can say, "You can believe that, Brother Branham." That would be a theology. But if God confirms that to be the truth, then it's no longer theology, it's the truth if it is. It becomes a reality.

L-10 Hebrews 11:2 said God testifies of His gifts. A man can say most anything, and I will admit that there's been much said in the Name of the Lord that is not of the Lord. But God would never testify or a vindicate a lie. God will always vindicate truth and never a lie. God is not an author of lies and confusion. He's the Author of peace, and truth, and holiness, and righteousness, peace. God always testifies of the truth.
And if someone comes by and says Jesus is--has rose from the dead and has sent back the Holy Spirit, and you never heard it, and then He speaks the Gospel; you accept Christ as personal Saviour; and the Holy Spirit comes upon you and proves that It's the same Holy Spirit that fell on the day of Pentecost, you have no right to doubt that man; he's told you the truth. That's right, 'cause God has vindicated it with His Word.
