<TITLE>14. Par 66-69</TITLE>L-66 I stepped away from that thing yonder when I seen them two seeds coming up. We've almost got our head above the clouds now; the great blossom is in the bran--in the tree, and God's pouring out the latter rain upon us. And it's bringing forth fruits of what: healing, salvation, baptism of the Holy Ghost, restoration of the gifts, all these different things, manifestations are coming; it's on this tree over here, just as fundamental, both of them are, but God is a vindicating this one with the restoration of the gifts. And the other ones are setting moaning and going on about it and saying we're a bunch of holy-rollers. I'm glad today to be numbered with them.
 I'll--I'll take my way with the Lord's despised few.
 I've started with Jesus, O Lord, take me through.

L-67 Not long ago, talking to one of the greatest evangelists in the nation... Asked him about the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, he said, "Look, brother, people tried to tell me one day that I needed that kind of stuff, till I found out the Lord wanted me to be a teacher."
Another great evangelist said, "I believe that that's the truth, but I couldn't accept it in my meetings. Why," he said, "it would--it would mar my popularity."
Brother, I'd rather lay on my stomach and drink branch water, eat soda crackers, and live for God, than to have my name in gold on any tabernacle door or anything else or say that I belong to some denomination.
I want to be flexible. Wherever the Lord leads, that's where I want to go. What He says, I want to do. If He sends the power of the Holy Ghost, I want to believe it. If He says He still wants me to do this, I want to do it. No matter what the world says, I'm following Jesus Christ. There you are.

L-68 "Beloved, I give all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, that you would earnestly contend for the faith that was once delivered to the saints."
I say this today, if you believe me to be God's servant, you are now living in the day of the restoration of the faith that was once delivered to the saints, living under the power of the latter rain of the Holy Ghost Church that's raising up today calling great doctors and divinities of everything out of all the denominations...
Right in my house in this last three weeks, some of the greatest men, even to the Archbishop of India, over all the evangelical churches of India, has received the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Yes. Dr. Reedhead the president of Sudan Missions was put out of missions to--a couple of weeks ago, because he received the Holy Ghost and spoke in tongues as the Spirit gave him utterance. That's right.
Doctor Donald Lee, the great Southern Baptist, set in my room the other day, and said, "Brother Branham, I have just been--poured out my heart and the Holy Ghost come upon me," and said, "I was walking in the room and I couldn't even speak English no more." What is it?
 The time of redemption is here, brother,
 Men's hearts are failing for fear;
 Be filled with the Spirit,
 Your lamps trimmed and clear,
 Look up! your redemption is near.
That's right, we're at the end age.
 It'll be light in the evening time,
 The path of glory you will surely find.

L-69 Is that right? In this last day as the sun is setting, God's pulling out of the Gentiles, Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterian, Lutheran, fundamental, and all, bringing them over here. For He's going to take a people out of the Gentiles for His Name. Then He will close off the Gentile dispensation, return to the Jews, the rapture will come for the Church, and home she'll go. Great signs and wonders taking place, look up. See why I'm a holy-roller? Yes, sir.
