<TITLE>18. Par 60-62</TITLE>L-60 Notice, you put a new spirit. God has to give you a new spirit, or you couldn't even get along with Him. You can't get along with yourself, that old devil spirit you had in you. So He's got to put a new spirit in your so you can get along with His Spirit. Amen.
"I will put a new spirit in them. And I will put My Spirit in them," He said, after He's give you a new spirit; that's you. Don't get it confused with God's Spirit; it's not. It's your new spirit, so you can get along with the Holy Spirit, if He ever gives it to you. Amen. 'Cause you in your condition never get along. You can't get along with your wife. You can't get along with your husband, can't get along with your neighbor. How are you ever going to get along with God? So He has to give you a new spirit, 'fore you can get along with Him.
So He puts a new spirit in you, and then He puts His Spirit in you, gives you a new spirit, a new outlook, a new faith, then He puts His Holy Spirit in you.
Notice, back there in the beginning when that same manna that fell out here on the ground, every day the people eat it; but notice, those people who eat that manna would get hungry before nine o'clock.

L-61 I've seen a lot of camp meetings. And people go, and they'd shout the victory for a little while, while the camp meeting was going on. And then before the day was over, with the night coming close, they'll worry along and say, "Well, you know, I wished I could keep the victory. Hallelujah." Oh, my. My. "I wished I just had the victory. I tell you, this--this--this is so-and-so, and this is so-and-so." Oh, my, it's because you're not in the right place to eat the manna. That's right.
Notice, you meet some people; they say, "This year they're just fine and dandy." And Dr. Church, of you holiness people, wrote a book and called my name in it. A man, a sensible man like that, called a man's name, and said the very next verse, he said, "I never even met the man; I don't know him." He said, "I know there's nothing to him, because I tell you why." He said, "I met a man one time had been in his meetings," and he said, "Brother Branham didn't know me. And he called way up in the balcony or somewhere, and said, 'Sir, you have prostate trouble, setting there,' and told him who he was and where he come from." And he said, "Every bit of it was the truth." And said, "He told me, 'You are healed.'"
And Dr. Church said to him, said, "Was you healed?"
Said, "Yes, sir, for a year, I wasn't bothered with it at all." And said, "You know what," said, "the thing come back on me."
Mr. Church said, "That proves that he's false." Said, "If God healed, they stay healed."

L-62 I'd like to see how many of those Nazarenes that got sanctified one year, the next year was back for sanctification again. I thought He kept it; I thought you couldn't back...
Oh, brother. Some men so narrow-minded, you put a pencil between their eyes it'd blind them. That's right, so narrow- sighted... Sure. Salvation is--lasts as long as faith lasts. And Divine healing lasts as long as faith lasts. You that's got to experience, forty years ago; forget you ever had the experience, and go out of here tonight and say, "I don't even believe in it, and I'm not God's servant no more," watch how long your experience lasts. Certainly.
"When the unclean spirit's gone out of man, he walks in dry places; he comes back with seven other spirits worse than he was. He enters in by force, if the good man of the house ain't there to keep him out. "You don't go by your feelings. I never was saved by my feelings. I wasn't saved because I felt good. I'm saved because I met God's promise. That's right. The devil can beat you around the stump on feelings, but he can't speak on THUS SAITH THE LORD and condemn it. I've done what Jesus said. I'm saved tonight because I met God's requirement. I'm healed tonight.
