<TITLE>19. Par 70-73</TITLE>L-70 And every man that's ever borned of the Spirit of God, takes on a nature that he can't digest the world no more. "For if you love the world, or the things of the world, the love of God's not even in you." And, brother, if you still love the world and professing to be God's child, for the sake of your own soul, find a place at the altar and pray through until God takes the world out of you. For He has perfected forever those that are sanctified or cleaned by the Holy Spirit, then we are in perfection.
The law having a shadow of things, not even the real things to come, with them sacrifices can never make the believer perfect. But a believer once coming into Christ, and by one Spirit baptized into that Body, He has perfected forever those that are in Christ Jesus. Then the things of the world... See? And He--He that... The worshipper once purged has no more conscience (or the right interpretation of that), has no more desire of sin. For the worshipper once purged has no more desire or conscience of sin. He doesn't even want to sin to... He will do things wrong. And as soon as he does it, he will confess his sins right there and say, "God, forgive me; I didn't mean to do that. You know it, Father." God never sees it, but He has an advocate. He has a confession and he makes it.
But the man who goes ahead and sins and says, "Well, I belong to a church; don't make any difference," it shows that right in him proves that he hasn't got what he says he's got. No, sir. You can't draw bitter and sweet water from the same fountain. That's right.

L-71 For God has made a sacrifice to perfect every believer that's in Christ Jesus. And when we stand in His Presence, we'll not have to stand on our own self; we're standing, and Christ stood in our place, to take our place. And He has judged Christ and not you and I. We have accepted it. We've accepted it. And if you haven't accepted tonight, my brother, sister, when you see the agony and the price it cost Almighty God to get your soul saved, could you turn Him down upon those kind of a basis? Certainly not, surely you couldn't.
God willing, tomorrow night I want to speak on the unpardonable sin, what it is to sin against the Holy Ghost and never be forgiven.
Now, may the Lord bless you while we bow our heads just a moment. If the organist or pianist will come a moment... Now, shall we bow our heads just a moment.

L-72 Our kind heavenly Father, seeing that clock on the wall moving around so swiftly, just beginning to speak on the things of Eternal Life, and to seeing the peoples, Lord, knowing that they have need... We all have need, Father, of knowing more about Thee and Thy love.
I pray Thee, God, to be merciful to every person here. I do not know this people. Thou does know them. And now, I pray that You'll send the Holy Spirit up-and-down the aisle just now. Look through the audience, and if there be someone who really knows that in their heart they've never met this condition, to fully surrender, to die out to everything of the world, and let the Holy Spirit take complete control, enough to kill all the desires of the world, and the things of the world, God grant that that person will now accept Thy beloved Son, be filled with the Holy Spirit.

L-73 While we have our heads bowed, I wonder in the audience of people (with everyone with your head bowed), if there would be a person here that would say, "Brother Branham, I, for one, I know that I have never re'ched that place yet, or never reached it, rather. I have never come to the place to where I had myself completely under control. I still... And in my heart I--I'm wavering. I'd like to be anchored, Brother Branham, by the Holy Spirit with Christ, so the things of the world would be dead to me. There's little things that I just seem like I can't give up. Pray for me, brother."
Would you man or woman, boy or girl raise your hand, say by doing this... Don't nobody look, just let me and the Holy Spirit do this. Just raise your hand.
