<TITLE>10. Par 38-41</TITLE>L-38 All right. He got to playing the music, got to going; he got in the Spirit. When he got in the Spirit, he begin to see things. That's what we need tonight: to get in the Spirit of it. Get in the Spirit. You say, "Oh, Brother Branham..."
Well, that's what they did on the day of Pentecost. They all stayed there and prayed till they got in the Spirit, and then got filled with the Holy Ghost, and run out and act like a bunch of drunk people. The religious people of the world stood and said, "These men and women..." (all of them together, which virgin Mary and all of them was together) said, "they are drunk on new wine." That's right. They got in the Spirit.
That's what we need. That's what some of these churches around Louisville, and Jeffersonville, and New Albany need, is a good old fashion, shaking down, God sent, Holy Ghost revival. Then you can have healing services and decent and in order. God will bless and the altars will be full and--and... You don't need some new theology; you need the Holy Spirit preached in Its power, though in simplicity. It's the greatest drawing card the world's ever had. Amen.

L-39 Think of John the Baptist, how he shook the regions around about, just a simple old fuzzy faced preacher. That's right. But, brother, he knowed where he was standing. That's right. 'Cause the Holy Spirit talked to him in the wilderness and anointed him. When he was eight years old or nine, he went out into the wilderness and he got his bachelor's degree from God. And when he come out, he knowed what he was talking about. His bachelor's degree? Yes, he received the Holy Ghost 'fore he was born. Three months before he was born he got the Holy Ghost and shouted and jumped in his mother's womb. Amen. That's what the Scripture says: Luke 2. See?

L-40 All right. Notice. And here they was all having--Elisha was getting in the Spirit. Then the visions begin to come on him. Now, he said, "THUS SAITH THE LORD: go out and start digging some ditches, getting ready for a whole lot of water." Said, "You ain't going to see no clouds; you ain't going to hear no wind. You ain't going have no degrees, and you ain't going to go to no seminary; but you're going to get some water." That's what we need tonight.
All right. You don't have to join some organization; you don't have to join some church; but you're going to get some water. Start out to digging.
Now, I can see them get started to digging. And some fellow hit the ground a couple of times, say, "Say, this is rough going."
"Well, if you quit digging, you ain't going to get no water. 'Cause every man had to dig his own spring."

L-41 Right in the desert, right in the midst of the sand where there's not a drop of water anywhere, the prophet said, "Start digging."
And right in the place where you think it's the worst, there's where God's asked you to start digging. May be right in your own home; start digging. May be right in your own church; start digging.
After while, I can see one of them hit a great big old tin can down there. "What is this?" That's old sister so-and-so says, "There is no such a thing as divine healing?" Kick it out; make room for water. Keep on digging.
After while, you hit an old greasy skillet down there. That might be the pastor; kick it out. Don't believe in Divine healing, the power of God. Get room in there so you can get some more water. The deeper you dig, the more water you'll have. Get all the old doubt and unbelief and things away from you, that when the shower begins to come down through the valley, you'll get a big portion of it. You just got a little well like that, that's all you can have.
