<TITLE>14. Par 46-49</TITLE>L-46 If he doesn't want to go... He can go freely; there's no price to pay. There's nothing to go through with. "How do you do it, Brother Branham?" Just drop your hoe, or whatever you're working with, and come lovely, and take your freedom, free. There's not a thing you have to do.
"Brother Branham, will I have to be done this a way, or done that way?" You don't have to do nothing; you have to accept it. Just say, "Lord Jesus, I'm so thankful that You've brought freedom to me, that You took me out of the bondage of a whirling mind, that I didn't know where I was at. I tried; I joined different churches. I went from place to place. I tried to get right; I didn't know what to do. But now I'm coming on the basis that You died in my stead. And I'm accepting You right now, as my Saviour."
Watch how the love of God will sway down into your heart. Peace that passes all understanding will soothe over. I don't care what the neighbor says, you love Him anyhow.

L-47 When you meet this man on the street, that you used to wouldn't talk to, that lady across the neighborhood there, that's so ugly and so bad, and runs the children off the block, you'll walk right down and say, "The Lord bless you, sister." Not as a hypocrite, if you say it as a hypocrite, you're worse off than you--you would otherwise. Certainly you are. You've got to come from your heart.
Jesus said to the Pharisees, "How can you say good things, when out of the abundance of the heart, speaks the mouth." Said, "You hypocrites, that's thinking one thing in your heart, and speaking another." You can't do it. The Church of God, what we need tonight, what California needs tonight...
Looky here, we'll go out here to hold a meeting, coming here in a united effort, and churches say, "Well, if they've got anything to do with it, I won't have nothing to do with it."

L-48 The other night... I've got something to say. The other night my manager's here, that knows it's the truth, setting in the room. Round three o'clock in the morning, the Holy Spirit woke me up. And a certain Baptist minister that told me when I come in here not long ago, Mr. Moore and them knows exactly who it was, and the man may be setting present now... He told me, said, "Brother Branham, you're Baptist, watch, when you come to the west coast, what you're talking about."
I said, "I'm preaching Divine healing."
I said--He said, "Oh, I believe in Divine healing, Brother Branham. But just watch. Oh, my, just pick up your Saturday's paper and look." He said, "The awfullest fanaticism's hooked in that you ever seen: people under all kinds of theories, all kinds of funny feelings, and all kinds of everything."
I said, "Look, sir, this comes from God, and I know it does."
He said, "I'm not doubting that." He said, "But the thing of it is, Brother Branham," he said, "It'll only scatter that more." He said, "The people..."

L-49 I said, "Well, I believe that it'll bless the people." I said, "And I believe that it'll do good to them. And surely as them being spiritual minded people will see and understand. My desire is, sir, to see this great big broke up people of Pentecostals, that's lovely brothers, that I've met everywhere, to see them with one heart and one accord." I said, "They've got one of the greatest things."
He said, "I don't doubt that a bit." But said, "Brother Branham, God be with you."
So I went on; and about four nights ago, God taken me away in a vision and set up yonder on the panoramic view of Los Angeles. I seen every kind of a vulture that there was flying from tree to tree, squawking, and hollering at one another. And I thought, "What's this? One little old vulture will...?... real pretty bird, but just eating any kind of stuff, and was flopping his wings, like that, hollering, "You ain't got it; you ain't got it."
And the setting over there doing something else hollering, "You ain't got it," flying from palm tree to palm tree.
