<TITLE>15. Par 34-37</TITLE>L-34 He run up the hillside, said, with the spring of youth in his feet again, in his dream when he was unconscious. And said, he felled the tree right easy. He said, he could feel the axe, as it went down through the soft Oregon fir. And the tree dropped; he trimmed it up like that, stuck his axe into the tree, and tried to pick it up.
Oh, he said his strength was gone from him. He said he done everything he could to pick it up. He said, "Well, my strength is completely gone." Maybe that's where you are tonight, your strength completely gone. The hopes is gone, everything gone. Said, he toiled. And he said, "Well, I ought to be able to lift this. I ought be able to pick this up. Why, I've picked them up like this before."
Maybe you've been healed before, maybe you've been through prayer lines and you've been healed, but this time you--you just simply can't muster enough faith to get it up the load somehow.
He said he just got completely worn out. So he just set down, ducked his head down and started crying. Said, "I'm so weak, I can't move; and I've lost my strength, and I don't know what I'll do."
Said he heard his voice of his--the voice of his boss, so gentle and kind. Said he said, "Paul, what's the matter?"
He said, "Boss, I--I--I--I just haven't got the strength to pick it up. I just simply can't get it down there."
He said, "Paul, you're just doing in vain; you're just tussling in vain." And he said, "Paul, don't you see that stream going down there?" Said, "That stream runs right by the camp." Said, "Why don't you just push it over in the water and jump on it and ride down?"
And said when he looked back, his Boss was Jesus. Said, "Just pitch it over in the water, Paul; don't you try any more. Just get on it and ride down."

L-35 Said he just pitched it over in the water, jumped in water, begin to splash in water, and the current taking it right on down to camp. He begin screaming at the top of his voice, that his strength was all coming to him, hollering, "I'm a riding on it." And said he come to in the room, screaming at the top of his voice. His wife who had been having her hands laying on him praying, said he jumped up in the middle of the room screaming, when he come to himself, "I'm a riding on it. I'm a riding on it. I'm a riding on it."

L-36 Brother, that's what it is tonight. I take Jesus Christ at His promise, throw the thing into the waters of the Holy Ghost, and I'll ride on it. Hallelujah. No matter what takes place, I'm a riding on it. Right. Just keep a riding.
No matter what everyone, anybody else says, no matter how many times you've tried, just push it over and start riding on it. God will take you right down to the place where you ought to be. Don't you believe it?
Why, it hasn't been seven years ago till Mayo Brothers looked me in the face and said, "Reverend Branham, you haven't a chance to live." But I took Him at His Word. I'm a riding on it. Amen.

L-37 He promised someday He would deliver me over on the other side. The age is coming on, but I'm a riding on it. Some of these days, I'll take out of this life, but I'm a riding on it tonight. "And every promise in the Book is mine, every chapter, every verse is mine. Oh, my, God promised, "He that heareth My Word, believeth on Him that sent Me, hath Everlasting Life, and shall not come into condemnation, but's passed from death unto Life." I'm riding on it. I believe it. Christ said so. What? "He that heareth My Words and believeth on Him that sent Me has (right now) Everlasting Life, and shall never come into condemnation, but's passed from death unto Life."
I've been riding on it for twenty-three years. Hallelujah. The journey will still be in and when it's ended, I'll still be riding on it.
