<TITLE>28. Par 112-115</TITLE>L-112 The odds are against you on Divine healing. If the odds are against you on old time salvation, what difference does it make? We're circumcised. The Holy Ghost has took the Spirit of God and cut the world away.
He looked out there, and he seen that, and his righteousness indignation rise. He wasn't a--he wasn't a warrior. He didn't have time to go away to school and train to fight these Philistines. He didn't know nothing about it in the first place; so he just grabbed the first thing he had, or got a hold of, and it was an ox goad. You know what an ox goad is? It's a big stick with a piece of...?... on it. Knocked the stuff off the plow with when it gets choked up, or poke the cattle and make them go on through the gate. He jumped out there in the middle of the road, under this, knowing that he was a child of God. He wasn't a warrior. He wasn't a preacher. He wasn't this, that, or the other, just like you are today.

L-113 You say, "Let the preacher do the preaching. Let him bring the revival." You've got to do it too. Have prayer meeting in your house. Burn up them cards you're playing. Take that beer out of the box. Let's start a revival. That's right. Yes, sir.
He grabbed that stick, and jumped out there in the middle of the road. The Spirit of God come on him, and he killed six hundred Philistines. Hallelujah.
Going to call me a holy-roller after this, aren't you? But I'm feeling awfully good. If it takes that to get to heaven, then I want to be that. I'm not a holy-roller. No, sir, and I've never seen one in my life. I've sailed the seven seas three times around the world, and I've never seen a holy-roller yet. I've seen people who believed in holiness, but I never did see a holy-roller. Never seen one in my life. All the meetings I've been into and ministered, and I guess I'm acquainted today, direct or indirect, with ten million people and never seen a holy-roller yet. No. Never seen any church that was branded up here, in--in the government nine hundred and sixty some odd different churches. I never seen a holy-roller branded on any of them. Just the dev... It's a name the devil tacked onto the church. That's exactly. When a man gets salvation, they say he's a holy-roller, the devil's mark exactly.

L-114 Now, notice this, friends. Jesus was rejected. All right. Then what... Let's look at the great Saint Paul. Now, let's bring this line on up. Look. Let's contend for the faith that was what? First delivered to the saints: signs and wonders. God's a vindicated His Church all along with what? Not membership, signs and wonders. Is that right? Not who's got the biggest crowd, who's the most fundamental in doctrine; but signs and wonders, that's where God's been.
Look at it now. There's your seed in Genesis. Look at it now. Where we at now? We're in Revelation. It's spreading out. Thirteenth chapter of Matthew said, "The sower sowed wheat and some sowed weeds. Let them both grow together."

L-115 Look. We're always saying how bad the world is, how the bootleg joints, and whiskey, and legalized drinking, and gambling, and prostitution, and everything's going on. We always talking about that, but you fail to find out... Look where the Church is too. Hallelujah. We're moving right on up. Signs and wonders appearing everywhere. She's putting out seeds too. We're nearly there. Don't worry. The harvest is soon on.
Oh, thank God for the Church. Yes. What Church, Brother Branham? The borned again. Is that the Methodists? That's all of us (Amen.) that's borned again. That's every one of us. Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, Catholic, whatever we are, if we're borned of the Spirit of God, we're sons and daughters of God. We believe in the phenomenal. We believe in Divine healing. We believe in the power of God. We accept it. We see Him working signs and wonders.
