<TITLE>09. Par 27-31</TITLE>L-27 Remember Esau thought he was right. He was a twin brother to Jacob. Jacob was a little shyster in one sense of the word. But one thing that he did have, he had recompence to that birthright. He had his whole soul set on the core of it. That's what the church needs tonight. It's not so much whether you can drive this, or have the best place in the city, or the biggest church and so forth. Put your mind on the core of it, the birthright. Amen.
Oh, my! I--I just feel religious. Look. I think today... Some people say, "Well now, Brother Branham, wait a minute now. I'm Pentecostal too, and I--I've shouted, and I've spoke with tongues and things." That's a gift of God (That's right.), not a...

L-28 Here, my cousin give me this suit, but that didn't make me a Branham. That was a gift. I was borned a Branham; this is a gift from a Branham. Amen. What if my name was Jones, and I had a gift from a Branham, that wouldn't make me a Branham. You have to be borned a Christian by the Holy Spirit, not by some demonstration (Hallelujah!), sealed, a finished work of God into the Kingdom. Amen. I know I get noisy, but if you felt like I did, you'd be noisy too.
Notice, Anything without emotion's dead. Your religion hasn't got a little emotion about it, you better bury it...?... That's right.

L-29 God sealing, finishing His work... The Holy Spirit, God, before the foundation of the world, predestinated us to be sons and daughters of God, finished the program, set the whole thing in order, give it a call, then He knocked at your heart. [Brother Branham knocks--Ed.] You heeded, come to Him. Sent the preacher, preached the Gospel, give you understanding. You accept Him as your personal Saviour, come up and said, "Lord, now put me in Your service." And the Holy Spirit of promise come down and finished the work. Then He sealed you until the day of your redemption, sealed in the Kingdom of God. It's all over; door's done shut, and you're inside with Christ. The Holy Ghost has sealed you in there, and you are gone to your eternal destination. Amen. Aliens to the world, pilgrims and strangers, confessing that you know nothing or care nothing about the world. You got one alternative: That's your destination to meet the Lord Jesus in peace. Amen. That certainly is the truth.

L-30 Look at Calvary. When that blood cell was housed up, God Himself coming down, building around Himself a Blood cell in the womb of Mary. That Blood cell developed another cell, a cell on a cell. And It was born, the virgin born Son of God; God was inside of Him, the Spirit. Then at Calvary He become a blood sacrifice. And a cruel spear embalmed His body, and broke that blood cell; Out come the life breaking forth from life: water, blood, spirit.
And now that man coming to Jesus Christ today, and coming through the blood, comes into the Blood cell in fellowship by the Holy Spirit, becomes a part of God, has God's Life in him, becomes a son and daughter of God. It's just as impossible for that man to be lost, as it is for God Himself to be lost.

L-31 "For I will give them Everlasting Life." "Everlasting" comes from the Greek word "zoe, God's own Life." God's Life is in the individual. And you're sealed by It until the day of redemption. That's the seal of God. And when you do, you become Christ-like. You love those that hate you. You're for one purpose, do the will of the Father. Bring in all the brothers, put your arms around your enemies and love them. And the great works of the Holy Spirit rejoice not in iniquity, but rejoice in truth, and...
