<TITLE>16. Par 53-56</TITLE>L-53 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... is a good old fashioned Holy Ghost sent revival, men back to believing the Word of God, that God will take care of us like He did in the old days, He will take care of us today. Do you believe that? God will take care of us. What we need today is another refilling, another like the disciples. Three days...
Some of you trying to test an experience, or trust it, that they had ten years ago. That's all right, but what about today? You need one today; today is the day, sure, a filling. The disciples about three or four days after they received the Holy Ghost, went back and got in one accord, and begin to pray again with one accord, until the Holy Ghost shook the building where they were setting. Amen. What we need.

L-54 Oh, my. You get away from all this here dignity. I can prove to you that dignity, the devil is the pappy of every bit of it. In the beginning he wanted something more--more glamorous, and everything than what Michael had. He went over and set him up a kingdom, and that's what polluted heavens, if he'd have stayed there, and God kicked him out. He's been dignifying the church ever since. It's the truth. God doesn't dwell in dignities; He dwells in simple sincere hearts. Hallelujah.
Brother, I begin to notice here not long ago I happened to be preaching at a little old Baptist Church that I was the pastor at, still pastor, Milltown Baptist Church. And I used to go home at night; I looked and there's--there was a--a nightingale used to set there in a little old cedar bush. I'd stayed with some people out there about twenty miles out. I'd drive out every night just to be alone. And get up in the woods and sometimes pray...?... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]

L-55 Did you ever get up of the morning, hear all the robins a hollering, all the little birds just as soon as it breaks day. We carouse around all night, and can't get up till about one o'clock on Sunday, even go to church. Set around, and they stick his little heads through the air and sing, sing, sing. You never heard of one of them having high blood pressure. You never did see one on a crutch, did you? God takes care of him. That's right. They just trust that, and commit everything to God, and go ahead.
Now, I've studied nightingales. And I noticed some nights when the storm clouds was coming over; he'd quieten down. Then all at once he'd let loose again and just sing to the top of his voice. I thought, "Wonder what does that?"
Now, science tells us, or the--that they look up to the heavens, and if they can't see any stars or any light, they get sad, so they don't sing. But if he can get his eye on one star, he knows the sun's a shining somewhere. So he knows it'll break day after while, so he just sings to the top of his voice.
And I thought, "Oh, God." That's right. If I can get amongst some people who's got it, and you squeak a little, "Amen," out once in a while, and let's me know that the power of the Holy Ghost still exists somewhere. That's right.

L-56 If I could go out today, and I go out tonight and look up and see that great, big bright star, I'd say, "Star, what makes you shine like that? You're so pretty. What makes you shine and give light down here on the earth?" If he could speak, he wouldn't say... He'd say, "Brother Branham, it's not me shining. It's the sun shining on me. That's what makes me shine." And that's what makes people...
A doctor said to me not--some time ago, said that these people that shouted, and praised God, and tried to act like they were so happy, that they was excited. Why, brother, we better get excited, don't you think so? Excited.
And said, "Now, no, it isn't. It isn't that. It's not them. It's because the Spirit of God is shining on them."
