<TITLE>05. Par 14-17</TITLE>L-14 Well, about three months before that...
I told you, one night I was going to speak on "Demonology." And I want to speak these next few minutes on "Demonology." The next...
I'm writing a book, if I can. You... I don't know whether you'd be able to read it or not, but that--when I get it wrote, on Demonology: my personal contact with demons.
Friends, they're just as real as--as you're real. And I see them, many times, when they leave right... I've seen them leave right from this platform here. I see them, some of them in shape of bats, look like long hairs hanging on their legs. But an epileptic demon look like a tortoise with round legs, hanging up like that. But usually, a demon of--of oppression seems to be more of a--of a cloud form, like a wave; and it just makes a real funny sound when it's a--when you're in that other dimension to see the spirit.
Now, you may think that's wrong, but some of these days you'll realize. If you could only take a spiritual looking glass and look into your soul, you doubt, and you'd find out what it looks like. And the greatest devil, and the chief of all devils is unbelief. That's the only sin there is. There's no other sin but unbelief. All these little morals and things: smoking, drinking, gambling, and committing adultery; that's just attributes. You do that because you don't believe. Unbeliever is what makes you do that. If you was a believer, you wouldn't do it. That's right.

L-15 Now, it's just like I think the gifts of the Spirit: the gifts of the Spirit is not the Holy Ghost; it's the attributes of the Holy Ghost. See? Gifts of healing, speaking in tongues, and all those other things are attributes; it's a fruit that the tree bears. See? The tree's the main thing: the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit is God, and God is love.
And--but the strange thing, about three magazines... I'm not too sure. Three months before this article come out, many of you read that article of Mrs. Pepper, that great spiritualist in New York. How many read that, "Mrs. Pepper," in here? It's come out about three months in the magazine before mine. Well, since nine--1895, the whole world's tried to stump that woman.
How many Christians in here, raise your hand, Christian believers raise your hand? I want... From the depths of your heart, I want you to say, "Brother Branham, I am a believer." Well, there's most of you are. All right.

L-16 Now, I'm speaking directly to Christians so that you could see the pro and con, the negative and positive where there's anybody asked you, then you can give them a--an answer.
Now, of everything that God has, the devil has a counterfeit. You go and whatever you want to do... You find like these old dances; that's of the devil; but God has a holy dance for the people. The Bible said so.
I was one of the greatest critics on that you ever seen, till God told me just what to do. I find out that Miriam danced in the Spirit. David danced when he had victory. And oh, many time--it... All of it was through--was victory. It was dancing, holy dancing.

L-17 For instance, in the Bible, if a dreamer dreamed a dream, or a prophet prophesied, they had a--a plate called the Urim Thummim that went over the breast of Aaron. And when they went before this plate and spoke, and them lights flashed on the plate, God would sanction it, that it was the truth. Is that right? If it didn't speak on there, then it was wrong. Now, look. The devil come around in a pattern of that, took a crystal ball. See?
Everything that God has, everything in the natural types the spiritual. I know I'm a typologist. And I believe that every natural thing types a spiritual, don't you?
