<TITLE>15. Par 45-47</TITLE>L-45 Newspapers has packed them articles. All places... My, our local papers packed it. The magazines has packed it. People send from Germany and saying, "Brother Branham, pray for me like you did that opossum." Look. If God can lead a dumb brute, how much more can He lead you here? Certainly. We ought to know as much about God as a dumb brute, being smart, Holy Spirit filled, born again, God working in His nature performing signs.
Why, you take in the ducks: they go from the north. They go from the south up in the north and lay their eggs up there and hatch out their little ducklings. They've never been off that pond. Let the first little cold breeze come down off that pond, off the mountain, the frost... When I'm going hunting in the north in the wintertime, fall of the year, around September; the first freeze comes on top of the mountain, that cold breeze blows down, you know what? There's a little old drake in that bunch that's been selected. And he'll run right out in the middle of that pond, stick that little honker up in the air, and honk four or five times, and every duck on the pond will come to him. Yeah, ducks know their leaders but man don't. And that little old duck was born on that pond, but he'll raise right straight up off of that pond and go just as straight to Louisiana rice fields as he can go. Instinct, they call it. Well, if a... We ought to have duck sense. If God has give a duck instinct to take him out of danger, how much more did He give a man the Holy Ghost to take him out of danger. Surely we'd know as much as a duck. For the baptism of the Holy Spirit...

L-46 But the trouble of it is, brother, God performs signs and shows wonders, and we set back and wonder whether that copes with our theology or not. That's the reason He can't lead us today. And that's the reason we're walking around in circles like Israel did for forty years. What we need to do it take out after God's Holy Spirit and the Pillar of Fire again, and move into the promise of, every Divine promise in the Bible belongs to you; and it's your personal property if you believe it. Amen. Do you believe that tonight, friend? With all your heart? God leading, even showing through dumb brutes His love to His creation. He loves you better than He does the dumb brute. How much better are you than the dumb brute? How much more Jesus died for you than He would for a dumb brute? And He wants to heal you.
He... That old opossum didn't even have a limp in that leg; she just walked out of there just as good as anything, perfectly normal and well. Oh, my. When you think of the love of God and the sovereignty of God, how that God does all things and leads us.

L-47 Now, He's here tonight. He's here to show His blessings. He's here to show His power. He loves to show His power. He puts His children in corners so that He can show His power, His love. How different from that and the trend of the day: say, "God gives you sickness to make you lay with patience." If that's so, then Christ defeated His own purpose when He healed the sick. See, He didn't do it. God takes the sickness off of you to... Sometimes He might permit sickness to come, to heal you to show His love to you. That's right. He might do that, you get out of His will.
