<TITLE>07. Par 25-28</TITLE>L-25 Not long ago there was a fine Presbyterian preacher was speaking to me on the west coast. He said, "Reverend Branham," he said, "cults like yourself..."
Said, "Yes, sir."
He said, "Coming through with this here Divine healing and stuff like that." Said, "We once was a strongest church up and down the west coast," and said, "the... You know what broke up our churches?"
I said, "No."
He said, "What broke up our churches was this: was Christian Science." Said, "They come..."
I said, "Just exactly." I said, "The people, every man is a supernatural being. He's hungering and thirsting for something, and if you won't give him the right thing to eat, if he's hungry he will eat from a garbage can." That's right.
If you Presbyterians would've preached the full Gospel and told them the truth, there wouldn't have been no Christian Science, or none of the rest the cults. If the church just lets down, that's what does these things. We need...
I ain't saying nothing against Christian Science. I ain't saying nothing against nobody's church. I'm saying what we need today is a good old fashion Gospel laid out, the whole full Gospel laid out to the people (That's exactly.), under no auspices of this church or that church, just the Gospel preached in its plain simplicity. and Jesus said, "If I be lifted up, I'll draw all men unto Me."

L-26 Now, this speaking of this great patriarch, Job, how he wanted to see God, and--and I think of him, a great man that he was. He was a great man, and all the princes of the east when he would go into the city, they would bow before him, like that.
And then Satan said one day, "I'm going to show You that I can make him curse You to Your face," and how that he did everything but that. He cursed the day he was born. He said, "May the stars not shine at night, nor the sun in the daytime, and--but he didn't curse God.
So I see him broke in boils setting out on the ash heap. Oh, I just... I preached on that one time for about--about three weeks. And there was about several letters come in said, "Say, Brother Branham, when are you going to get Job off the ash heap?"

L-27 I keeping him on that ash heap, because it was--it was the hour of his decision. That was just the time, the crucial moment. And when I... Setting out there, scraping his boils and what a miserable sight, lost his children, lost his health. He lost his--his property, his camels, his... Everything he had was gone, and there he was setting there and poverty-stricken, scraping the boils with a piece of crock or something, he was scraping his boils with.
And his wife even turned kinda against him. She come to the door, and said "Job, why, why don't you curse God and die." Said in other words, "You look so miserable."

L-28 I like this. Job said, "Thou speakest like a foolish woman." Now, he never said she was foolish, but she spoke like one. See? Said, "Thou speakest like a foolish woman. The Lord gave, and the Lord taken away. Blessed be the Name of the Lord." Oh, that's the way I like to see it. "Blessed be the Name of the Lord."
He had seen God. God came down in a whirlwind and talked to him. You see? And he knew God was. And I like this part too. My. When then--then down from the east came this little prince Elihu. If we had time to get that name out, "Eli la a Yahweh," so forth which is God representative meaning Jesus Christ. He came to Job and corrected him for what he'd said.
He said, "Don't despise my youth now." But he said, "You're--you're accusing God of something that's not right." So then he begin to get Job straightened out, and he--he didn't accuse Job like his church members.
