<TITLE>13. Par 49-51</TITLE>L-49 How that spirit moves on... Quickly, just a minute. As they moved on the spirit begin to move, come on out into those Pharisees. Along come Jesus Christ. Those Pharisee's just as fundamental as they could be, they stood on the doctrine of the prophets, on the laws and so forth. Here come Jesus tearing up their churches. Oh, my. He was giving them a rough way to go. They said, "Such an idea, away with such a Man." They were worshipping Jehovah; so were they.
What? God vindicated Jesus Christ with signs and wonders, that He had the truth. Acts 2, Peter said, "You men of Israel," said, "this Jesus, God has vindicated before you and approved a man that God was with by signs and wonders and miracles which He done in your midst." Peter told those Jews, said, "Can't you see this is that same line out of Eden yonder? Can't you see God was with Him by signs and wonders and miracles which He did and yourself as a witness?"
"Well," they said, "we are priests; we're religious; we love Jehovah, and we got the laws."
He said, "I know that, but can't you see where, who God was a vindicating?"
"Well, we know that fellow was illegitimate child."
"Don't you see God was a vindicating Him?" They just don't understand; that's all. Amen.

L-50 God proving. This was His vine, going on... After He went away, the disciples did the same thing He did. And the great Saint Paul, the apostle, said that in the last days (in Timothy 3) men would be heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God: trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, and despisers of those that are good.
You say, "Brother Branham, that was communist."
Oh, no, that was fundamentalist. Yes, sir. That was fundamentalist: "Heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God, having a form of godliness, but denying the signs thereof." Amen! "From such turn away." The Holy Ghost through the eye of the eagle saw this day. Hallelujah. My, I feel twice my size now. Look. God's eagle eyes foresaw it, and He spoke it to Paul, that the fundamentalists in the last days would be very fundamental, having all kinds of forms of godliness, but would be denying the power thereof, the power of the Holy Ghost, to show signs and wonders in the camp of God.

L-51 Pentecost, don't you lose that. When you do, you're going to lose God as sure as the world. Stay with that. And fundamentalist, if you're here today, jump off that tree over here as quick as you can. That's right. Oh, my, how wonderful. Now, we're living in the last days.
Here some time ago I was up in British Columbia, a hunting. And notice, I was--got chasing an old grizzly bear around. I wanted to get some pictures of him. And he didn't like me very well. I didn't want to shoot the old fellow, but I just wanted some pictures of him. And I got fooling with him, and he got me off the track, and I got lost. That night, if you haven't got the sixth instinct, why, you'd better know your road, and there's no road. Way back, was eleven hundred miles from a hardtop road. So we was back in the wilderness, about two years ago.
And I was coming up, got dark, clouds was kind of heavy and after while they moved off. And I was driving to an old burn over. I don't know how many knows what a burn over is. It's where the fire's went through and burnt the trees, all blistered and everything. On the side of a hill, and the moon was shining down, and I'm telling you, the wind got to blowing after those clouds went away, that moon shining on those old, big old, tall, stately trees there, is the spookiest looking place I ever seen in my life. Looked like old tombstones. And I thought... I hooked my horse, or tied him there; I got off, and I thought, "Say, what's this?" And after while the wind would blow. It'd hit them big old, stately, tall, burnt trees, no bark on them; it'd go "whrrr." And I thought, "Oh, my. What a spooky looking place." And I thought, "Well, what's this?"
