<TITLE>17. Par 61-64</TITLE>L-61 Oh, you'll never know what it means, friends. All devils out of hell can't stop it now. God said so. I said, "Brother Moore."
He said, "Yes, Brother Branham."
"Brother Lindsay, Brother Baxter."
"Yes."
"Get your Bible right quick."
"What's the matter?"
I said, "Turn to the flyleaf."
They said, "Well, what..."
I said, "Look. We'll be in a country where there's evergreen trees, lapped rocks together, a little boy around nine years old, hair cut like crock, brown hair, brown eyes, tongue out, feet run through his stockings, ribbed stockings...?..."
He said, "That's him."
I said, "Certainly, that's him." Amen.
Oh, my, there's no one; there's no way to explain what that feeling is. It's not faith; it's done beyond faith; it's the Spoken Word of God then.
I said, "If that child," through the interpreter; I said, "If that child isn't on his feet, alive in the next five minutes, I'm a false prophet. Now, stand still now and see the glory of God."

L-62 I fixed myself in position, the way it was in the vision. I said, "Heavenly Father, You Who has now promised this over in the homelands two years before, and has brought this to pass... Now, being that all the communist are around, and they're denying Your only Son; and as Thou has foreordained this to be, and has showed me this vision in the homeland; therefore, I ask for his spirit to return again in the Name of Jesus Christ."
The little boy leaped to his feet, and screamed, begin to running all around just as perfectly normal and well as he could be. Now, that boy's name is in the book, if you want to write to him today and ask him.
That night when I went into the meeting, they had to take me for all the way down the road. That's one of the thousands. All the way down the road, when they taken me down, with a group of those soldiers, poor little fellows hadn't even shaved, little sixteen year old boys in the Finnish Army, big boots on, great big long coats on, with fixed bayonets on their guns...

L-63 And they taken me down--as I walked down the road... Brethren, a man of honor will be truthful. And as I walked down the road there stood Russians soldiers, with the Russian salute, the tears running down their cheeks; they said, "We will receive a God like this."
Sure, what's the matter? What makes communists? Is because the church let down the bars. That's right. You put it to a social gospel; you've limited it to creeds. The Gospel still has the same power. And I seen those Russian soldiers put their arms around the Finnish soldiers and hug each other. And anything that'll make a Russian and a Finn hug one another will settle wars forever. That's right. Christ is the answer. That's right.
We don't need round tables, and big four meetings, and so forth. What we need today is the Gospel of Jesus Christ preached though, in simplicity, yet in it's power and demonstration of the resurrection. That's what the world needs. That's what it's hungry for. For all, everybody's hungry for that.

L-64 All that's ordained, "All the Father has given Me, will come to Me. My sheep know My voice." You can't feed them on corn cobs, they've got to have the corn, not where the corn was, but the corn itself: not in just a dry well, a Gospel, as we would call it as a gospel of history, but a Gospel of the living Christ.
What good would it do to show a man that's freezing to death, a big bonfire painted? That's what history does. It paints a fire. A freezing man can't get warm by a painted picture. He's got to have the reality. What the world needs today is the--not a picture of Holy Ghost and fire, but the real resurrected Christ by the baptism of the Holy Ghost and fire again. That's what the world needs today: a reality, something that they can rely upon, not a declaration of words, but a realization of a risen Christ. Amen.
