<TITLE>15. Par 52-54</TITLE>L-52 Look, it refreshed. Did you ever go out of a morning, like I said, that refreshing feeling, the dew's fell? Notice, did you ever go to the rose garden? Now, it also put blossoms out, the rod did. That aroma, that fragrance of the flower early of a morning, why? Everything is still. And every seed that goes into the ground, the dew is what makes it live again. It refreshes the dirt.
And you take the seed of God and put it into a real good flexible heart that's not prejudiced and indifferent, just a nice, humble heart, and put that seed of God in there, and let it go to growing. And let it get alone to itself, and the dewdrops of glory go to falling on the soul, you'll see the sweetest, meekest, humblest Christian in your neighborhood that you ever seen. That's right.
And that's what we want. That's what... That's what the world needs. That's right, my Christian friend.
Notice, in there also there was a light. Now, outside in the outer courts, out there the congregation, the regular congregation, they had the stars, they had the moon.
I must hurry, but listen to this last remark. Now, I want to talk right straight to you.

L-53 On the outside there, what light did they have? They had the light of the stars at night, the light of the moon. They had the light of the sun. Any kind of a cloud could come over and upset the whole thing. They couldn't see how to walk. The night, sometimes clouds shut out the moon and stars. At daytime, the sun wouldn't shine for days and weeks. That's the way the experience is out yonder. That's right.
Let little trouble comes up, and you backslide, and you go off here yonder, and you go from one church to another, and pack your paper from one place to another. "And I won't go to the Baptist no more, because I tell you; I just don't like it over there."
The Methodist mistreats you, and you run over to the Pentecostal, and then from there down at the Nazarene. See? You're living in the outer courts. Just any little thing, old worldly lights can shut you off.
Well, you come down then, say, "No, I've come farther than that, Brother Branham. I've tasted of the Lord. I know He's good." That's good. All right, you're here at the first altar then. You're at the holy place.
But remember, they had light too. But it was artificial. They had a seven-point lamp to give light. Them lights sometimes got low. Sometimes they smoked up. You know what a light is; sometimes it went out.

L-54 And that's the way it is in that kind of a light. When you're just living out here, and say, "Well, I--I believe all right, but I just can't go all the way with this, and I don't believe this and that. I believe so much, and if my church don't teach it, well, I couldn't accept it." See, you're smoking up. The least little thing comes along, your chimney gets all smoked up, and the first thing you know, the light goes out.
But look on the inside. Oh, brother, the man that once went in there... What did he come in there... He... Every earthly light, every artificial light was shut off from him. And the only light he had was... Under the wings of the Cherubims, was the Shekinah Light, a real soft holy Light that never went out. I don't care what the sun did, what the lamps did, what anything else; he that lived in that Presence walks in the Light day and night.
