<TITLE>26. Par -</TITLE>L-145-202 And a serpent grabbed him through the hand. Now, watch. Paul didn't fear. He said, "Jesus Christ said, 'If they take up serpents, it shall not harm them.'" So he walked over here, shaked him off on the fire; turns around and walks over to get some sticks and put back on the fire; turned hisself around and warmed his back, and turned around this way and warmed his hands. The natives said, "Why don't he die? Why don't that man die? He ought to drop dead?" But Paul was so full of the Holy Ghost (See what I mean?), so full of the Holy Ghost until the poison wouldn't poison him.
Oh, brother, give me a church full of the Holy Ghost. God will do in one year what all theology's failed to do in two thousand years. You wait till the anointing of the church really strikes home to that faithful the little remnant. After the doors of the Gentiles is closed, oh, God will anoint a church then. "He who's filthy, let him be filthy still. He who's righteous let him be righteous still, and he who's holy let him be holy still." And God will anoint the church with the power of God, and things will be taken place. Not only that then, but He's doing it now.
Watch signs and wonders. And the people look around and saying, "Well, it's of the devil." Oh, because they don't know the Scriptures, neither the power of God. And that's the reason it's...?...

L-146-205 May the Lord bless you. I'm sorry to keep you this late. I'm very seldom do this, but I don't get with you very much. So I may not have answered these questions according to your thoughts and things. That was two answered this morning. If I didn't, God bless you. And I--I didn't mean to--or to upset you or something. I just had to say what... You ask me the question. I give you, the best of my knowledge, the answer. That's right.
Now, I don't know too much about the things maybe. I don't know nothing that I ought to know. But one thing that I know Jesus Christ saves us from sin, keeps us from sin, and gives us His power and His blessings.
And if you'll just notice around and watch what takes place in the people that's prayed for... Look across the nations and look at the signs and wonders everywhere. And look at the time coming. Like them two branches we was preaching on here sometime ago, come up from Genesis, how they're bearing their records everywhere. How the unbeliever, very fundamental and dignified in his religion, but having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof... And the church is moving on.

L-146-208 May the Lord Jesus bless each one is my prayer. And may you so live that you'll become so burdened--may God put on you people so burdened for lost souls till you can't sleep day nor night. May God grant this Branham Tabernacle that privilege of becoming so burdened. I don't care if you never shout, if you never do anything else, if you're just so burdened for lost souls till you can't sleep. When you do that, the world will be slipping in here to be prayed for (That's right.), the world coming to be prayed for. You'll be known everywhere. God give us of His Spirit, make us humble, break us down, and make us so charged with the power of God to heal the sick, to cast out devils, to do great signs and wonders. When you lay your hands on the sick and ask that blessing without one wave in your heart, you believe that God's going to do it. Watch that patient, it'll begin to get better, Why? The evil's gone from us. Just like the tree that was standing, Jesus looked, and there was no fruit on it. He said, "Cursed be you."
Twenty-four hours later they passed by. Peter said, "Look, the leaves are already wilting." Something had taken place. God's Word was spoke.
Jesus said, "Have faith in God. For if you say to this mountain 'Be moved,' and don't doubt it, it'll obey you." Have faith in God.
