<TITLE>10. Par 37-41</TITLE>L-37 Now, there's such a thing as... In the heart the soul lives in the heart, and you believe from your heart. People don't get religion in their head by a book knowledge; you get religion in the heart by an experience in the heart. And the heart will always agree with the Bible, but the head will reason. And the Bible said we got to cast down reasoning. You can't go with your mind; that's... The devil work in that; you got to go with your heart.
So her mind would tell her, "Now, it's reasonable, if these women can do that, why can't I? They're called Christians; they have good standing in the church; they good standing in the community, so why can't I? I'm a Christian like they are, and if they can do that, then it's reasonable that I should do it to, 'cause I'll be one of them. If I don't, they'll think I'm an old fogy, and I don't--I won't do this, I'm better than they are."
See, that's reasoning. It'll get you in bad every time. No matter what your intellectual knowledge tells you, don't you believe it if it's contrary to the Word of God. Take THUS SAITH THE LORD first. Stay right with that, no matter--and your soul will always agree with that Word. That's right.

L-38 When you see these preachers and things and says, "The days of miracles is past, and all this is nonsense." Just remember, he doesn't know God; that's one sure thing. For God will always agree with His own Word, certainly He will. And there's no Holy Spirit there; it's all intellectual. He might be as polished and straight as a gun barrel, but that don't make him right with God. That's right. Never come into this place we're going to talk of in a few minutes.

L-39 But then, her pastor come down there. He seemed to think she was all right. So our brother was drove from the house and went on. Her thinking she was right, went on; she had an intellectual faith, she said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I've accepted Him years ago, my personal Saviour." She said, "I play in the church; I have my places in society, and I'm just as good as anybody else."
And my pastor brother there said, "What about this common law husband?"
She said, "The same door's open that you come in at." And he left.
And he said, "I want to bring Brother Branham over."
Said, "I don't want to see him."
So he--he went on back, the only thing he could do. And brother said to me, said, "What about that, Brother Branham?"
I said, "Watch her at the end; be sure that you're standing near her when her times comes to leave here."

L-40 And she went on for a few months, kept getting worse. They finally hospitalized her. And one day when all of them was standing around, and she was going out to meet God, all at once when this intellectual begin to break in here... Remember, your mind is controlled by your brain and your nerves and blood. And whenever those human elements fail to function, this brain here, the intellectuals, begin to break. And when it begin to break, she realized this soul, that'd sinned, disbelieved, and cast off to one side, begin to catch up with her. And when she seen that coming up, she said, "Oh, I'm lost."
And the pastor said, "Now here, here, you're getting beside yourself."
She said, "Don't you speak to me; you're lost." She said, "I'm lost"

L-41 And they went and got the doctor, said, "She's beside herself; give her a hypo." They shot a hypo, or she kept screaming, "I'm lost. I'm lost. I'm going to hell."
And they said, "Give her another."
And they kept giving her a hypo until finally her breath faded out, screaming, "I'm lost. I'm lost." The hypo stopped this confession with these lips, when the intellectual was breaking, but that soul that had sinned before God, she'll have to live with it through out all ages to come.
