<TITLE>10. Par 26-28</TITLE>L-26 Now, I'm not mistaken. But I believe the last time I was here before going to the mountain, I preached on the unpardonable sin. Is that right? The unpardonable sin... "He that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him it's sin. For if we disbelieve willfully, after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sin": Hebrews 10. See? After we have a knowledge of the truth, what we ought to do, and then we won't do it, then we can't go no farther with God until we do do it. See, see? God just presents something to us that we should stop this type of life, we should quit living for the world, and professing to be Christians. And we'll continue right on out in that same thing, then we can't go no farther with God. That's just... The place that it's done been revealed to us, so we got to stop right there until we make that thing right, and then go on with God. You... For then's when we are--we're back in grace again.

L-27 Now, Israel come up to the Kadesh-barnea and here they come back. And Joshua and Caleb, they were really all fired up. They must've had a prayer meeting over there, a real revival of some sort, among themselves. And when they come back, they said, "Yes, we can take it."
But the other ten said, "Oh, no, we can't do that. We, it's just too much for us." Lack of faith. See? Listen, Christian. Everything is based on faith. And faith cannot be right unless it's got something to be based on. You can't have faith, say, "Well, I believe that this is my belief, that..." My belief is no good if it's contrary to God's belief. But if my belief tallies with His, then I got a foundation solid. No matter what takes place, we're just going to go anyhow, 'cause God said so." Now, that's the type of faith that Caleb and Joshua had.

L-28 Now, God told Moses before he left; He told Abraham before any of the children was ever born, that he and his seed would--his seed would sojourn in a strange land, but He would give them Palestine. He promised it to Abraham. And then He confirmed His promise by visiting Moses and speaking to him that He'd already give the land to him: "Just go take it."
And so Joshua... Oh, I like this right here. Joshua based his faith, not upon what he saw, but what God said. No matter how big the giants was, how many fences there was around, how much artillery they had, Joshua looked at God's Word. That's what we want to look at today. You say, "Oh, I have so many ups and downs, Brother Branham." But if you just had my ups and downs...
A little lady visited a certain doctor here, not long ago. And the little doctor was a cursing and a jumping up and down and carrying on. The lady said to him, said, "I wouldn't do that if I was in your place, doctor."
He said, "If you had my worries, why, you--you'd do it too."
He said, "Oh, I have as many worries as you, and I don't do it anyhow." So they got the doctor right in the right place. That's right. He's respected the little lady ever since. That's it; just a word in season will do it. See? No matter what your worries is, what your temptations are, stand on God's Word. When all, everything seems to be going wrong, stand on God's Word. He said so.
