<TITLE>07. Par 19-20</TITLE>L-19 That same One was met in the beginning of His ministry with the same devil, and said, "If You are the Son of God, perform a miracle before my eyes, and turn this bread, this rocks into bread. I'll believe You then." See?
You don't cater to the devil. That's the same devil that said, "You know, Mr. Jones is down here on the street, and he's been a cripple for years. Go down and heal him, you Divine healers, and I'll believe in you." See? The same old devil. See?
Jesus said, "I do nothing till the Father shows Me." He told them once, and that settled it. That is finished. "I just do as the Father tells Me. That's the Father's will."
But how could He die? While they was going along the road, they were so discouraged. Peter got his fishing pole, put it on his back, and can of worms and started down to the sea, said, "I just guess I'll go fishing."
Cleopas and his friend, said, "Come on. Let's go on back to Jerusalem," or, "go on back to our city where we come from, over to Emmaus. But I don't know. I can't make it. Now how could a Person like that..."
And today God's servants is misunderstood the same way. That's right. The true Gospel is misunderstood the same way. "Well," if God is God," said the great high-up's, "how does He deal with Pentecostals? Them people down there that hardly knows where one meal from the other one is coming from. Well, if He was God, He'd surely come up to us." No, it's you got to come to Him. That's right. See, the same thing...
And even His disciples didn't understand Him. He talked a double talk. They never could understand Him, because He talked of heaven. He talked of things they couldn't understand. Right at the last they said, "Lo, now we believe and know that no man has to teach You, for God shows You what to do."
Jesus said, "Do you now believe?" After all this time, "Do you now believe?"

L-20 But how could that Divine Person... See, they'd failed to know the Word of God. So there was nothing to do but to fulfill their desire to know. So as they turned down the road, walking along, disheartened... Oh, some women had been up to the grave, and they said He wasn't there. But they didn't believe that, so they just went on down the road so discouraged.
And if you notice, it's when you are discouraged that's when the devil can really pour it on you. That's when He gets you. If you come to the church and say, "Well, I don't know. I don't know whether I'll ever get any better or not. I've been prayed for twice." Oh, my. You might as well go home; that's all. But when you can cast that aside... God don't want you to be frowning. God wants you to be happy. The human heart was made to be happy. Worry will cause cancer. Temper will cause cancer. Don't never be upset. Just walk in His love. Amen. Knowing that you're walking in Him, and nothing can harm you. There's nothing can harm you. There's neither powers, things present, things future, nothing can separate us from Him. We're in Him. And we never come in by our own will. He, by choice, elected us and brought in to Him. Amen. So it's His business to take care of what He's took Hisself. "No man can pluck them from My Father's hands, 'cause He's the greatest of all of them." Amen. It's the Father Who takes care of it. Who's got any more power than God? So what kind of a power have you got over you to take of you? The whole powers that created the universes. Amen. That took the solar system and [Brother Branham makes a blowing sound--Ed.] blew like that and every star went to its place. Sure. And He watches over you. Amen. That's the kind of a Father we have.
