<TITLE>06. Par 18-21</TITLE>L-18 I do not believe this... Since you're small audience tonight, I'm going to make a confession. I do not believe that God ever intended a gift of this type to be used for these type of meetings. Because it's--it's--it's done a great work. And it is a Divine gift. God, Who is my solemn Judge, Who I stand here, knows that I'm truthful to you. I believe God's proved that to you, just that it's truthful.
Now, I--I believe that it was borned as--as a prophetic utterance. Oh, many people call it one thing, and another thing, and so forth. I don't know what it is, just so the Lord loves me, and I love Him, and settles it with me. Don't have to be anything, call it anything, just so it gets the results for the Lord Jesus and for His people. That's the main thing. It has caused many others, Brother Roberts for one, Brother Jaggers, most all of them, they come set right where you're setting. They seen the Lord working; it inspired their faith, and said, "Here we go." And they went out and done something for the Lord. I hope there's fifty comes out of this meeting the same way. That's right. Go out and do something. It's all for the Kingdom of God, all for His Glory.

L-19 And I remember when Brother Roberts went back in behind the little place... Brother Bosworth, you was there that night in Kansas City, when Brother Roberts come back there, had a little bitty tent meeting over there with a dozen or two people in it. Said, "Brother Branham, do you think God would answer?"
I said, "He will answer any man's prayer that'll be sincere." That's right. So away he went.
This is here. Now, visions... Now, he... I... This is just... I don't preach doctrine in these meetings, nothing but Divine healing. If this is contrary to what you believe, you do just like I do when I'm eating cherry pie. When I hit a seed in a cherry pie, I don't throw the pie away, I just throw the seed away. I keep on eating pie. So you do the same thing. See? What you believe about this, you... That's all right, and what you don't... See? Why, you just throw it away, but just keep on eating what you think's right.

L-20 I believe that before the foundation of the world, according to Ephesians 1, that God knew us, and knew that He was sending me, and the other ministers, and so forth, to preach the Gospel before the world was ever formed. I believe that's Scriptural teaching. That's got a lot of Calvinistic wing to it. I believe the Calvinist was all right. They got a--they got a Scripture to stand. So has the Arminian, but they both run out and ride on limbs, broke off, made issues. God just brought the whole thing back, and stuck it in the Book of Ephesians, and straightened it out. That's right, just exactly.
So, it's where we're at. One runs this a way, and one runs this a way, and one runs radical this way, and that way. That's the way the church always has gone. That's man. You see? He don't want to be led by God. But whenever we get to a place that we forget that we are brethren, and we're all striving for one place, that's when we've left God. And we've got to recognize one another, even in our peculiarities.

L-21 I got a brother that's tall and thin, blond-headed, pug nose, and fair skin; he don't look like me. We don't act alike. We--you'd never know we was brothers. But his daddy is my daddy. And if the family accepted him looking the way he did, accepting me looking the way I did, then we accept one another to be brothers. That's right. So that's the way we have to do it in this Christian realm. We have to believe, have faith in one another.
When the Christians lose faith in one another, the devil's got the church right then. That's right. We got to have faith and confidence in one another, bear with one another.
