<TITLE>15. Par 50-53</TITLE>L-50 Now, when the woman realized that this inspiration was on her, she obeyed exactly, because she knowed it was in harmony with the supernatural.
Say, "What are you talking about, Brother Branham?" I'm trying to base your faith on a level with God being almighty, and supreme, and all powerful, and omnipotent. And He hasn't changed. His nature doesn't change. My nature might change; yours might change; but God's nature will never change. If He's still the great Jehovah God that created the heavens and earth and had all powers in His hand, He's still the same Jehovah tonight. If He's Almighty God, He can do all things. If He can't do all things, He's not Almighty God. Inspiration tells you that. Reasonings will say it's not so, but inspiration says it is so, inspiration from the soul not from the mind.
It's mind reasonings, theology, man-made so called, will make you very religious; it'll make you just as religious and keep the sabbath days and do all these other things, but will deny the existence of the Almighty to perform miracles and do supernatural. Didn't the Spirit say in the last days they'd be that way, "Heady, high minded, having a form of godliness but would deny the power thereof; from such turn away"? Wake up, Church.
How did Abel know how to offer the right sacrifice? He was inspired.

L-51 Today the people in general act like Cain. They said... Cain no doubt said, "If we build a nice altar, we'll make it beautiful, for Jehovah will worship in such a place." He got the lilies of the field; he put them on the altar. He got the fruits of the land; he laid them there. He made them all nice, built him a nice church, a nice altar, and knelt down, and said, "Jehovah, this I offer to You." And God refused it.
And today people are trying to go to the better church where people dress better, where the pastor's a little more formal and not so fanatically, as they call it. Do you know, the mind of the world is an enemy to God. The wisdom of this world is foolishness in the sight of God. And God, by the foolishness of preaching, it pleased Him to save the world or them that would believe. How one's contrary to the other. Now, quickly, let's come to this close or this conclusion.

L-52 Watch just a moment. When Abel, by inspiration come, no beauty, but he come in inspiration... He had no Bible to tell him it was a lamb. But God revealed to him it was a lamb, no inspiration to tell him that it wasn't... Cain said, "Well now (reasoning), it's fruit, we... They must've eat apples, so I'll bring fruits an offering, and Jehovah will receive this because it looks better than what that would be, so Jehovah will receive this."
And today the people think the same thing and shun little missions and so forth where the Gospel's being preached, shun people sometimes because they don't dress just exactly in the modern, say, way that we call it. They want to act like the world and be like the world, like the woman I just got through telling you about. Because it's reasoning and you can't go by that. No, sir. It's by inspiration.

L-53 When Jesus come off the Mount Transfiguration... Let's seal this right now. When Jesus come down off of Mount Transfiguration, He said to the apostles; He said, "Who does men say I the Son of man am?"
One of them said, "You're Elijah."
And the other one said, "You're the Prophet."
Another one said, "You're Jeremiah."
He said, "But Who do you say I am?"
And Peter said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God."
He said, "Blessed art thou Simon: for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father which is in heaven has revealed this to you. And upon this rock I'll build My church; and the gates of hell can't prevail against it."
