<TITLE>11. Par 47-50</TITLE>L-47 How many times in Minneapolis and across this America and everywhere, have people fasted, and prayed, and cried, and say, "O God, come down. O Jesus, we want You for a revival." And He will break out somewhere, and they'll throw Him in jail. They won't accept Him. They'll call them a bunch of fanatics and holy-rollers. It's because that you're not looking for the right Person. He'd walked right by that flunky. And there He was setting there, poor Jesus with His dirty feet.
I hate to say that; it just does something to me when I think about my Lord setting there with dirty feet, and when He had been invited and unwelcome. And that's the reason, gets to me today, to see people who claim to be religious and things like that, say, "Oh, the days of miracles is passed. Nonsense, Brother Branham. Don't you believe nothing like that. Oh, you're just mentally worked up. There's nothing to that kind of stuff."

L-48 I know Him in the power of His resurrection. And I know that He's real. He's my Life. He's All in all. And when I see these people calling themselves Christians, and making that kind of entertainment to Jesus, some political rally, or standing around, and have an old soup supper, and that old upper room's done gone. They don't have no more upper rooms. You're too busy, taken up with your little fantastic things around the church, and you got too many things to do, instead of an old fashion prayer meeting like you used to have. You got suppers, and you got lawn parties, and--and you got rides, and--and all these other kind of recreations and things.
Christ is not a recreation. Christ is God to be worshipped. Put too much... That might burn and scorch a little, but that's what's going to do you good.
What we need today is a little more scorching, little more of God's Holy Spirit to scorch the world out of you and get the starch out.
There, Jesus setting there not entertained, nobody looking at Him or nothing after being invited. And He was... He--He--He--He wasn't--He wasn't... The dung on His feet and on His hands, and--and sweat all over Him, that smell, and He--He--He--He was in a terrible shape. And they let Him set like that.

L-49 And I think today that you people who call yourself ministers, lot of you... Now, this may hurt; but call yourselves ministers, and stand and let the critical hypocritical, infidelic world, say, "Oh, that Bible's just fiction. There's nothing to It." You Unitarians, and you people that don't know God, let me tell you; you just having a form of godliness and deny the power thereof.
Why don't you clean up? Why don't you preach the Gospel? He's real Jesus tonight, just the same as He was then. Don't let Him set dirty like that. You claim to invite Him to your home; you invite Him to your church; and then when He comes, that's the way you treat Him. That's the way today, Pharisees. Walk around and you condemn the Pharisees.
Jesus said, "You polish the tombs of the prophets and you're the one put them in there." That's right.

L-50 What we need today is the entertainment of the Holy Spirit, Christ. There He was, setting there with dirty feet. He felt unwelcome among such a crowd as that; He does yet today. A great big starchy crowd telling jokes, and all kinds of religious forms and everything like that, He's--He's just left setting. He doesn't feel welcome. He'd feel more welcome tonight right down in a little old mission somewhere on the street, than some of these big starchy churches you got around here. That's right. They're not ashamed of Him. And you think you got the best class in them. I don't know whether you have or not: wasn't the best class then.
