<TITLE>13. Par 44-46</TITLE>L-44 Every promise in the Book is yours then. He can't do it, why? The blood cell, where did it originate? Where did it originate in the lamb, the little sheep? Where did it originate? From the male sheep. It was a sexual desire. It was sinful. After the--God had pronounced this is--made it a permissive, but never the perfect. "God made man out of the dust of the earth and breathed the breath of life into him, and he became a living soul."
But then tampering, women become that instrument to bring life, and that's the reason it has to go back, the body. The soul then must be taken care of first to originate the beginning of a new life. Did you realize that? Now, the lamb when its life broke at the--at the place where it was sacrificed, the worshiper with his hands bloody and realizing that he was a sinner, was a shadow yonder of Calvary.
But the worshiper could not be made perfect, because by the life that come out of the lamb, he could not be taken back in the lamb's body, because he was a human. The lamb was--had a different nature. It's nature was different. Now, if the lamb's life could come back to the worshiper, he'd go back out and eat grass and act like an lamb, 'cause he was a brute. So he could not be made perfect.

L-45 But in this place, where the worshiper is once purged from his sins, the very Life that was in that Body comes back and baptizes this individual into the Holy Spirit. And now, this Lamb was not born by sexual desire. Where that original blood Cell started, God Almighty created it in the wombs of Mary. No man had nothing to do with it.
And that one blood Cell where God brought Hisself down, and come into this Blood cell, and growed out a body called Christ, and come in the fulness of the Spirit and lived in Him... Then when that Blood cell was broke there for sin, every man coming to Christ, and purged by that Blood has no more conscience of sin, and is perfectly anchored in Christ until the day of your redemption.
Ephesians 4:30 says, "Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby you're sealed until the day of your redemption." Amen. Oh, that makes the devil go, when a believer realizes where he is, when he--what he is. "Oh, there's no good to me, Brother Branham." That's right. I never was any good and neither was you. There's nothing we could do about it; that's the good part of it. But when you can just recognize that, that you're no good, then you'll not trust in your own goodness.

L-46 If there's one thing you could do to merit it, you'd have something to brag about it. "Lord, I've sought You day and night." But you can't say that to Him. He said, "No man can come to Me except My Father draws him." And God seeks man and not man seeking God. So you don't have one thing to say, but, "God it was Your grace that did it." And there, as long you're accepted in the Beloved, how can God bring you into judgment, when He's already judged Christ in your stead?
How could you have to suffer for your sins, when Christ has already done it? God would be a two-timer and a awful person (That's right.), when it was thoroughly paid by Jesus Christ and you accepted it. And as long as God accepted Christ, He accepted you with Christ. And when He did He do it? Before the foundation of the world, when He spoke it into existence, He spoke you redeemed with Him.
And your names was written in the Lamb's Book of Life before the foundation of the world, and then you're scared. Whew. "Oh, if I could just keep holding on." I quit that a long time ago. I never did even try it in the first place. I just turned loose and let Him do the holding.
Someone said when I was sick that time, when I got over it, said, "Brother Branham, did you keep your religion during your sick spell?"
I said, "No, sir, it kept me." That's the difference. And that's what happened.
