<TITLE>09. Par 38-41</TITLE>L-38 Then I find the Pentecostal, or the Full Gospel people, they--they have the power, but don't have the faith to operate it. It's just like a man that's got a lot of money in the bank and he don't know how to write a check. And the other one can write a check, and ain't got no money in the bank. If you could ever get those two together, the millennium would be on.
Now, in Pentecostal or Full Gospel peoples around the world, I find them with a great faith. And the reason they have faith is because they just stepped up a step farther. They have been borned of the Spirit of God, which is the supernatural.
And many people tell me, say, "Brother Branham, as you get older, you look like your dad." Well, he's my dad. That's the reason I look like him.

L-39 Well, now, the same thing... Many things that we have that we favor of--by a family strain like that to each other. And then in the family strain of God, if we become born of the Spirit of God, we take on the nature of God. Which, then we are sons of God.
And there's where I find that the Full Gospel people has become sons and daughters of God. They believe the supernatural. Now, the other has never stepped up there, so they can't believe the supernatural. There's nothing to believe with. See?

L-40 How could I get the water out of that desk, when there's no water in it? You see. See, you've got to be borned-again and then God comes in. And God made the world out of things which was not. He just spoke and said, "Let there be," and His Word become material and materialized. And this very ground that you're setting over this afternoon, is the Word of God made manifest. That's right.
Well now, a man that's got part of that... Now, Jesus said, "I give them Eternal Life." "Eternal," that word come from the word "Zoe," the Greek word which means "the Life of God."
Well then, if we have the Life of God in us, the borned-again, then we have God's Life in us, which makes us believe like God does, that whatever the Word says, it'll materialize. See? If it says, "By His stripes we're healed," that settles it. God said so. And that's when a man is borned of the Spirit of God, he's a son of God, then he believes for things that's impossible. He still believes it. Because why? His God is in him by the Holy Spirit and he believes. See?

L-41 Now, if he hasn't got the Holy Spirit in there, he's got nothing but just his nor... his--his mind to rest on it, so he just can't comprehend the things of God. He doesn't know them. The natural mind can't understand the things of God; they're foolish to him.
Now, the Pentecostal or Full Gospel, you are... The one thing that I find that's one of the greatest hindrance among us, is that you're trying to place the great things of God, yet to come, when you're right in the middle of it now. That's right.
Now, you say, "Just wait till some..." Well, that could be the millennium where we won't need any healings and things. That's the next age to be issued in. Now we're in the Holy Ghost age. Now you are the sons of God. Now we're seated together in heavenly places, not we will be, we are now, this afternoon, right here now, sons and daughters of God seated together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. There we are. See? All things are possible then.
