<TITLE>14. Par -</TITLE>L-170-131 So Doctor Reedhead stood there; he said, "Brother Branham, could a man receive the, really, the Holy Ghost?"
I said, "Yes, sir, Doctor Reed, you can."
He said, "If God, who knows my heart, and I believe you, knowing you're under inspiration right now, I want you to... Do you believe I'm telling the truth?"
I said, "I know you are."
He said, "How must I receive it?"
I said, "Kneel."
And he knelt there by the old coffee table. (I just picked up from up here; the man is setting back there who fixed it just awhile ago up here.) Setting there, broke the glass on top of it as he kneeled down. He said, "God, have mercy on my sinful soul." And then I laid hands on him, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost come upon him right there. That's right.
And he's just set that Baptist church afire everywhere now. They're all of them around there. There it is. Yes, sir.
The Gospel cannot... Jesus cannot come until the...

L-170-137 Listen. We pass tracts all around over the world. You can't go on any little corner less there's been tracts passed, somebody coming through there with theology. You go overseas today and call yourself a missionary, and watch them laugh at you. Walk into India and say, "I'm a missionary."
"Well, what are you going to teach us?" They know more about the Bible... Some of their kids over there know more about it than some of the teachers here in America knows about it. After all, it's an eastern Book. And remember, they had the Gospel hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years 'fore America ever come into existence. Saint Thomas, the great church that he preached in, is still standing today in India. They don't need any of your teaching; they know all about it. They said, "What are you going to teach us?"
"Well, we're American Missionaries."

L-171-139 "What are you going to teach us, how to drink whiskey? That's what you all do over there in your churches: smoke cigarettes? Going to teach us how to divorce our wives and so forth?" Said, "If you're going to do that, we don't want it." And said, "You're coming over here with some new theology or something another; you're going to try to teach us some of the Word; we know more about it than you do." And that's right. He said, "But if you're coming to demonstrate what the Word says, we'll receive it." Amen. There you are. That's the thing they're hungering for.
Mark my word; write it in the pages of your Bible, for it's THUS SAITH THE LORD, "Remember, when we land in India, you're going to hear of tens of thousands times thousands being saved." The Holy Spirit has said it; I've wrote it here in my Bible; it's wrote in tens of thousands of Bibles right here, like the resurrection of the little boy. By a vision that He said, "There's three hundred thousand of them in there." And you see if that isn't right. There's how the Gospel's going to be preached just overnight. She'll just sweep like that from place to place.
