<TITLE>12. Par 113-122</TITLE>L-113 And, today, the... That same kind of religion that we have, has branched off and branched off, till it's become so patterned till it's a Hollywood show almost. Now, you know that's the truth. And we go into a place, set up a big band of music, and play music, and carry on, and act like, pretending Christians. But go to them and cross one up one time, and watch what you get. See?
Christianity is long-suffering, goodness, meekness, gentleness, patience. Is that right? "Christ, when He was reviled, He reviled not again." Is that right? Christianity is the life that a man lives. It's a personal experience, not...
But some say, "So this guy, I know this fellow does this. I know he can--he can pray for the sick and they'll get well." That don't mean he's a Christian. Faith will do anything.
If you'd only get to the place, as Christians...

L-117 In our little group here at the tabernacle, you all, if you'd only see how that witches and wizards work miracles. Sure, they do. And they have all the demonstrations that Christianity produces, but they can't be Christians. Watch their lives, what they do.
The people right there even take living with other women adultery, as a religion, and them same people does signs and wonders. Not in...
There's one thing they can't do. There's just one thing that I've never been able to see any witch doctor or anything do. They can perform miracles like make this rope stand up. They can run through fire, bewitch the fire. And they can do things like that. But they cannot heal the people. That's strange. They can put curses on people, and diseases will come on the people. But they can't take the curse off and heal them.

L-120 It's been that way through the Bible time. When Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, they could bring sores and boils, but they couldn't take them off. They could bring flies and lice, but they couldn't take it away. For the Lord is the One Who heals the sick.
They can dance in the spirit. I've seen them a many a time. They can have all kinds of maneuvers, but they cannot heal the sick, or they cannot live a Christian life. That's one thing they can't do.
And so it becomes an individual affair, with every man and every woman, is to see all these false things. And the Bible said, that, "The two spirits would be so close in the last days, till it would deceive the very Elect if it was possible." That's right. False christs, false spirit rising up, showing signs, deceiving many... That's right. But, "My sheep know My Voice. A stranger they'll not follow." Oh, what a day that we're living in. And the jubilee time's about closed.

L-122 Listen, friend, tonight, if you're here without Christ, and you don't know Him, really sure in your heart, positive of it, without a shadow of doubt that Christ is in your heart, all right. But if you say, "Well, Brother Branham, I got broke up and cried once when I was at the altar." Don't take that. You say, "Well, I'll tell you, Brother Branham, I--I had a good time, one time. I danced in the Spirit, all over the place." Don't take that. See? You say, "Well, I prayed for a man, one time, he got well." Don't take that.
The thing for you to take, is to know that when Christ is in your heart, when the great trials and troubles come on, He's still sweet to you. You walk just the same. If everything's going wrong, and everybody's against you, and everything's going this way, you're still sweet and lovely. It's all right. Moving right on, and you, your spirit, bearing record with His Spirit, that you're sons and daughters of God. If that doesn't echo in your soul tonight, friend, let's not be marked out of the Kingdom of God. Let's get in the Kingdom of God.
And when a man is once marked in the Kingdom of God, he's sealed till the end of his journey. "Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby you're sealed until the day of your redemption."
