<TITLE>15. Par 54-57</TITLE>L-54 But I didn't, and I met Christ. Hallelujah! He changed my life; He changed me. I become... And I did pray. Got a letter from the king of Swed... Denmark the other day. Said, "Brother Branham, come over and pray for our people this summer." Oh, my. Great men...
You know what, great man will seem like little man when you meet them. They make you think you're great. It's these guys that's little that wants to be big is the kind that you find all scrupled up up here (That's right.), thinking they're something when you're nothing. Brother, what are any of us with six foot of dirt out yonder? Someday our soul's got to meet God, and without the shed Blood upon it, it'll be condemned and sent to hell, a devil's hell, in a separation from God forever. Wake up and come to the realization that this might be your last opportunity to receive Christ. Think of it.

L-55 Other things will take place when you get the right thing first. You can't build up on top of the ladder for your first round, you go to start at the bottom and come up to it. That's the way revivals have to begin. That's the way healing campaigns has to begin. That's the way all things has to begin: begin from the bottom, build up. For anything else is worked up emotion, and mental. We got too much of it today. Even psychologists coming to me to be prayed for, mentally broke down. There you are. What's the matter? Nothing but the Blood of Jesus will take care of the thing. Amen.
Notice. Look close now, oh, at Job the oldest Book in the Bible. He recognized and accepted the shed blood and stood pat on it, a firm, solid foundation. Though all the shackles of hell shook around him and everything else, but he never feared him, he walked straight, right into the mouth of death, believing in the shed blood.

L-56 When his church members come to him and said he had secretly sinned and he was a secret sinner, Job knowed that he had offered a sacrifice and confessed his sins, and he stood firm on God's provided program of the shed blood. He knew he hadn't sinned. And after he stayed so firm till he lost his children, he lost everything he had, his camels, his sheep, all of his goods, everything he'd lost, and he realized that he still wasn't a sinner, he was righteous in the sight of God.
When Elihu, the little prince, came down from the east, and begin to tell him that he oughtn't to accuse God of these things, and begin to not tell him he was a secret sinner, but told him of a just One Who was coming... Job had look at the flowers, he'd see them die, go into the ground. Springtime they'd come up again. He said, "Man layeth down and giveth up the ghost, he wastes away; where is he? Springtime he don't rise again." He watched nature. That's how we get the Indians, how we get the--the pagans, is watch nature. All this stuff that they preach that's on fables.
Then we come to find out that Job watched it. And God sent Elihu down there and told him just what would take place. Notice. Look what taken place.

L-57 He said, "You've watched that flower." In other words, the flower didn't sin; therefore it comes up in the springtime. The tree blows down; a new tree comes up in it's place. But man layeth down, he giveth up the ghost; he wastes away; where is he? O that Thou would hide me away in the grave until Thy wrath be passed."
When Elihu begin to explain to him about it, he said, "I know you've sinned; man has sinned. All man have sinned and otherwise, but there's coming One, a just One, Who can stand in the breach between a sinful man and a holy God, put His hands on both, and bridge the way. At that time, there'll be a difference."
