<TITLE>15. Par 47-49</TITLE>L-47 Just like this... But your husband's so pantywaist, such a sissified substitute as a Christian, he's a disgrace to mankind, let alone the Kingdom of God that'll let you do such a thing. Because he fears you more than he does God. You'll kick him out; he don't care if God kicks him out; he can go to the Presbyterians or the Methodists. But if you'd kick him out, "Oh, my, what's going to happen?"... You goddess and you goddess lover, why don't you get a backbone in you? I don't know why I'm talking like this; Something's making me talk here. I don't know. That's right. I'm not scolding you, women, men; I'm only warning you. "THUS SAITH THE LORD: get right with God."
"How can I escape it, Brother Branham?" Never by joining church. You might be baptized in the Name of Jesus, in the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, three times forward, three times backward, upside down, anyway you want to be. You might be sprinkled, poured, put your name on a book, but until you are borned again of the Spirit of God, that life of the devil still remains in you. That's right. Do you understand?

L-48 Now, listen closely before closing. "How can I escape it, brother?" Neither male or female is accepted or dispelled. You're all one in the sight of God when it comes to this. How do you do it? Your heart is a womb. You know what I'm speaking of women and men? Your heart is a womb. And the womb holds the seed. And the seed is the Gospel. Now, the seed alone in its heart... No matter how many Gamaliels you set under, no matter how great your pastor is, and how much you've read the Bible, it'll never take life until the germ of life has come to it.
A woman's seed is a wonderful thing. It's the building of a body, but it has no life. It can't; it's impossible. It has no life to begin with. So no matter how much you know the Bible, and how well it is in your heart, you're still a sinner.
Now, what happens? The heart is a womb. And faith cometh by a open ear that's not been sealed by theology. Faith cometh by hearing. To hear... The Word comes into the mind. You make up your mind about it: "Is that right? Could that be right? Well, the Bible said so. I believe it." Whew. Down into the heart it goes. Then it's a womb. Then the male sex... We are the Bride, the woman. The Seed goes into the Church. Then the male sex, which is the Blood cell... The Blood of Christ is applied. And in the Blood comes a germ of Life that goes into the Seed and brings forth a newborn baby, crying, "Abba Father, abba Father, my God, my God, why did I ever do those things? My God, my God." There you are.

L-49 The little womb here in your heart, with the seed this morning falling into it... Won't you open your eye? Won't you let it fall? Not from your mind, down into the womb of your heart. Men and women alike, there's neither male or female in this now; both of you has got a heart. Let it fall down here and say, "Well, sure, that's the truth." Look. The Bible said don't act like the heathen, the unbelievers. Don't yoke yourself with them. Come out from among them. Don't be a this way. If you love the world or the things of the world, the fashions... That word came from the Greek word "Kosmos," which means "the fashions of the world." If you love the world or the things of the world, the love of God's not even in you yet. You've never been born. Then let the Male, Christ Jesus, our Lover, with His Seed in your heart... He comes to His Seed to make it alive. The word... The letter killeth; the Spirit giveth Life. The letter alone kills. But when the Holy Spirit comes down through the cleansing Blood into this womb, a germ takes on.
