<TITLE>17. Par -</TITLE>L-82-141 The Bible said, "All things work together for good to them that love Him." So just be sure that you love Him; that's the only thing you have to know. Amen. Just love Him and walk on. Say, "Lord, I love You; You know I love You."
"You love this?"
"No, Sir, I love You, Lord." See?
Say, "Well, don't you want to be... Wouldn't you like to be a great preacher? Wouldn't you like to be this?"
"No. Now, Lord, what... If You want me to be, I will. If You don't... Amen. I'll be right here, just a doormat at this church."
"Well, now, I believe if you do something like this the people would think a lot more of your church."
"I don't care what the people think; I want to know what You think, Lord. I--I'll just stay right with You, what You tell me to do. I love all them, sure."
"Well, now, you know Sister So-and-so; you don't love her." "Yes, I do, Lord. Yes, I sure do. I love her."
"Why?"
"'Cause You love her, and You're in me. And I have to love her, 'cause it's You in me loving her out of me." Whew. That will get it.
But I think that that was those beasts that fell in there, that's the lustly beast that fell. See?

L-82-Q-11  11. Does the "sons of God" mean Angels or spirits from heaven?
That was the person's question. All right. I believe that they wasn't Angels. See, they were beings, sons of God, like the Scripture says. Not angels, they were sons of God. And they come from heaven to the earth, and was put into flesh, not pressed themselves into flesh. I believe all flesh is born sexual outside of Jesus Christ. I believe He's the only virgin-born Being that ever was: Jesus Christ. And I--I don't agree with Josephus on that, on the great historian. But I do believe that they were supernatural beings that come down and took over the spirit of men. And I believe they're right here yet today, still walking around in Jeffersonville today, them same beastly, lustfully, ungodly spirits, that live right in human beings.
Now, someday these men will die; and if there's another generation, they'll come right down on them. Remember, God takes His man but never His Spirit; this is the same Holy Spirit that they received on Pentecost.
It's the same devil in religious forms that persecuted the Christ, is the same devils that's in church today, wearing long robes. And they don't have to wear... I don't mean the robe over their body; I mean the robe on your soul. See, "Why, the days of miracles is past; there's no such a thing as..." You talk about modern Pharisees, just exactly.

L-83-151 However, the Bible said, "They'll have a form of godliness, but would deny the power of it. From such turn away; get away from it. Stay away; keep yourself away." That's still them sons of God, but they're in a fallen condition. See what I mean? Some of them are ministers; some of them are deacons; some of them are elders; some of them are bishops, just as pious as they can be. But the Bible said...

L-83-Q-12 Now, I'm going to answer the question, brother, that you asked me awhile ago. Somebody said:
 12. Brother Branham, I want to know the place where I can tie down and say "This man has the Holy Ghost because he did this, or this woman has the Holy Ghost because she did that."
There's not a way in the world for you to know it. That's right. There's not a way in the world for you to know it. God is the Judge; we are not to judge. See? Just preach the Gospel; live...
