<TITLE>18. Par 115-121</TITLE>L-115 Enticing spirits going around telling people this, that, or the other... They've got to do this, they've got to do that. It's because that denominations has raised up, and they got a little revelation that they say, "Well now, I believe that a man--I believe there's such a thing as shouting in the Bible." That's right, that's the truth. They made a denomination out of it: "when you shout you got it." But you haven't.
Next they raised up and said, "Speaking in tongues." That's right; that's in the Bible. "Well, when you speak in tongues you got it." But a lot of them spoke in tongues and didn't have it. See? That's not it. No, sir. A lot of them said, "Well, we got to prophesy."

L-117 Look at these prophets here with horns on their head jumping up and down and prophesying and Micaiah said, "You're every one lying." Amen. That's right. God don't come like that. God comes to the sincere heart that comes with a contrite broken spirit. "He that goeth forth sowing in tears will doubtless return again rejoicing, bringing with him precious sheaves." Amen, get that right friends.
So much demonology, demons working in human souls. Watch the way it bears its fruit. Watch what kind of a life a person lives. See the way they're acting. Watch the way they do. See what their motives is. It's just as impossible... And if I told you that the only way... Here sets the cars, all lined up here. Heaven is in Charlestown. You can't walk. They only way you can go is by car. And every man that crosses the line must bring in five gallons of gasoline. Here's his car, but if he don't have gasoline, he can't run it. Well, that's exactly, perfectly the way it is in heaven. If you die without God, I don't care how you live and how many cars you built, if the love of God isn't there to pull you into the Kingdom of God, you're lost.

L-119 It's a negative and positive. No matter how much positive this current runs here, if it hasn't got a ground wire it'll never light. That's right. You've got to be rooted, grounded in the love of God. Oh, brother, bring that negative and positive together and you'll have a light, the good old fashion Gospel light spread from shore to shore. You'll never have it without it, no matter how much shaking and jumping you can do with a positive. You've got to have the ground wire to flash the light. Amen.
Did you ever notice, you set a ground wire here on this, and every bit goes plumb back down here to the substation, right down into the ground, and every time a man gets rooted and grounded in God's Word, it roots and grounds against Calvary yonder, where the anchor, the solid post of God was brought there, and it flashed the light of the Gospel. Amen.

L-121 You know what's the matter? People in these great big cold formal morgues out here pretending to be preaching the Gospel... A little old preacher come to me yesterday, belongs to one of the greatest denominations there is in the land today outside of Catholic. He said, "Brother Branham, I'm sick and tired." He said, "They're going to make all the preachers put on robes, and turn their collars around, and--and preach certain things, and--and they'll tell us what to preach on each quarter." He said, "I can't stand it no longer." He said, "What must I do? Must I start preaching the Gospel?"
I said, "Brother, as long as you're with that denomination, respect it. You stay just what they are; but walk up to your presbyter or your state superintendent and say, 'Sir, I've been borned again of the Spirit of God. Here's the Word of God, if you'll let me preach that, I'll stay in your church. If you don't, I'm gone. Turn it over to somebody else.'" That's the way to do it. Don't beat around the bush. Don't be negative. Come out and say what it is. That's right.
He said, "Brother Branham, you think I'd have a congregation?"
I said, "Where the carcass is, the eagles will be gathered." That's right. They'll follow.
