<TITLE>19. Par 179-188</TITLE>L-179 Instead of dad that night going upstairs to pray, he went down in the basement. He was busy down there. I wonder what he was doing? Let's slip down and see him. I see him down there, going... [Brother Branham begins humming and illustrates building something--Ed.]. "Slam, slam, slam." [Brother Branham hums]. Takes this reed, and look over, twist it and see if it's good. [Brother Branham hums]. Little Aaron went out that day, gathered a whole armload of them, laid them down in the basement, you know. [Brother Branham hums]. "God takes care of you." [Brother Branham hums]. "Old-time religion, it's all got to be true!" [Brother Branham pounds on something]... slam around.
She said, "Amram, what's the matter with you?"
"Hallelujah. Nothing, dear. Go on."
[Brother Branham hums--Ed.]. "It's the old-time religion." [Brother Branham again pounds]. "It's the old-time religion." Bring this over here, you know. "It's the old-time religion." "Shhhhhhh," seal it all up. "And it's good enough for me. Give me this old..." He was doing something.

L-181 You know, after a week or two passed, the first thing you know, they wondered what he was doing.
So one night when they was all asleep, he slips upstairs and brings this little thing up, you know; he gets it up like this. And he brings it up. He raises up the cover where Jochebed his wife is sleeping, and he slips it under the cover. And little Aaron and--and little Miriam was asleep, you know. Oh, she was a sweet little thing, that little girl was, and so was little Aaron. So he put it under there. He said, "Jochebed, dear."
She said, "Have you been in the basement praying this time of night, Amram?"
Said, "No. I've been in the basement, praising God."
Said, "What you been doing?"
Said, "I want to tell you. Now, you know that old witches is coming back."
"Yeah."
And I want to tell you what we're going to do. We've had the baby now for three months, and we've got to get rid of it."
"Oh, Amram, you got to do what?"
"We've got to get rid of the baby."
"Get rid of the baby?"
"Yeah."
"Oh, you're cruel."
"No, I'm not cruel. No, no, no. I know what I'm doing."
"What do you mean? Why, you'll be as bad as Pharaoh. Going to get rid of our baby?"
"Yeah, going to get rid of the baby."
"Oh, we can't."
"Now, listen. If we keep it, we're going to lose it. And if we give it to the One Who gave it to us, He'll find it." Is that right? "Now, if you keep it, we're going to lose it."
"How you going to lose it?"
"Why, them old witches is going to come by and get it."

L-188 And look, if you keep that soul and go ahead and live like the world, you're going to lose it. The witches of hell's after you. And that's right. All this old folly of the world and things out there, it's right after you. If you keep it, you'll lose it; but if you give it back to the One Who gave it to you, you'll find it and keep it. What is it now? If we keep it, what do we do? [The children say, "Lose it."--Ed.] Lose it. If we give it to Christ, we what? Keep it. Amen! That's good. Now, you answer right.
Now, he said, "Jochebed, we're going to lose it if we keep it. So if we turn it--turn it back to the One Who gave it to us, then we'll keep it."
