<TITLE>11. Par 42-47</TITLE>L-42 Don't be tossed about with every wind of doctrine; believe God's Word. Get stable. Get set. "How do you do it, Brother Branham?" Here it is. There's many... Remember in the Old Testament there, in the outer courts, the manna fell on the ground. And the thing of it was, God told Moses to pick up this golden omer, and make it full of manna, and put it in behind the holy place by the ark. It stayed fresh continually, year in and out.
But that that fell on the ground, withered away. The people would go and get it, and they would eat of it. But they found out, that before the day was passed, many of them become weary. Many of them would get hungry again. Because the manna only lasted so long.

L-43 And how many times that I find that--that people now in this day... What is that manna a type of? Now, I'm going to rub just a little bit, and I hope you love me the same. But I'm only trying to get something to you; I hope you see it.
Notice, that manna was a type of the Holy Spirit. God provided manna for the entire journey, coming down from heaven with Christ, coming down from heaven and dying to make life for the world. And the--honey, little honeycombs is what it was. It'd come down from heaven; they picked it up and made bread out of it. But the bread only lasted so long.
And after it got up along in the day, the sun come up, it perished. But that that was in the holiest of holies perished not. It stayed good all the time.

L-44 Remember, many people today, claiming the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which they do have... But it's your position, where you're keeping yourself. It's what's causing your meal cramps that you're getting. That's right. Many people, you find them... A man that's out here, justified, come in and believe on the Lord. Sure. Only the Holy Spirit alone can bring conviction, any man. Justification is a work of the Holy Spirit. But it depends on where you're eating, where you're getting your supply from.
People today, even regenerated people, many times, go to God and they love God and they praise God, and they go to the service, and they enjoy the service. And when they leave the service, the next morning they're just as lean as they was when they went in that night.

L-45 Many own experiences of Divine healing, come and watch the Holy Spirit move and do signs and wonders. And they set and marvel at it, and eat the good things of God. And the next morning in the presence of--of some official or something, they would deny the very existence of it. And they're afraid to testify of it. Because it's where they are living; it's where they're eating their manna.

L-46 Now, the Bible said that He would give us a new heart. And He would give us a new spirit. And many people, even Pentecostal people, and Full Gospel people has been deceived in that. Many times God said, "I'll give you a new spirit." That wasn't His Spirit; that's your spirit. Then I will put My Spirit in you. I'll give you a new spirit, then I will put My Spirit in you. And many times you get the new spirit and think you've got the Holy Spirit. And trusting upon emotions and signs and things. When your life doesn't pivvy up to that. Now, that's just a little raw,. but remember, it's the truth.

L-47 Many people--that spirit, that new spirit, God had to give you a new spirit to get along with His Spirit. Well, some people so mean they can't even get along with themselves, let alone with God if He'd come in. That's right. So doubtful and up and down. God has to give you a new spirit, give you a new nature, so you can get along with His Spirit when It comes. Amen, I hope you see it. God gives you a new spirit for yourself, and then puts His Holy Spirit in there (Amen) to dwell with you and abide with you.
