<TITLE>16. Par 54-57</TITLE>L-54 Notice, when they begin to dig, they dug right against things; just throwed it out, and made big ditches. The next morning the enemy looked down; the sun come up, and it looked like blood. They said, "Well, they fallen on one another, killed each other. And away they went.
And they were ambushed. And they said, "This is just the light thing before the Lord, sending forth His water." And they went over into the other land, and they stopped up every well; they cut down every good tree. They just had a real old fashion revival.
And when it gets to the place, that the people that love God, will throw everything they got right into the revival, with prayer, and with everything else, and seek God's face, and pray and--and seek God, and call out in the hours of the night for mercy, and get the neighbors saved, and so forth; I tell you, we'll stop the mouth of every critic; we'll knock down every formal thing that's standing up. And they'll have to know that God's been in the camp. That's right. Friends, we'll never do it, until that thing takes place. We can't.

L-55 That's the way of a revival. "For THUS SAITH THE LORD," said Elijah," spoke in the Name of the Lord.
And the other night, when I was coming over here a few nights ago, and the Lord met me in the room there, just a vision the same as I see here at the platform, other places, said, "Here's what's the matter with the church. They've got so much selfishness everywhere." Didn't just say...?... The church of the living God has got so much differences, and so much this, and that, till they grieve the Holy Spirit away from them.
And that's just exactly what it is. And brother and sister, until we humble ourselves, and become the lamb, so the Dove can light on us again, and bring joy, and peace, and satisfaction, and a burning desire in our hearts to see others saved and come to God, we are simply fighting the winds. That's all. That is true. No matter how many revivals...
The Lord Jesus was standing here at the platform last night, and proved to every person present that He was absolutely raised from the dead without a shadow of a doubt.

L-56 Tonight, two or three hundred less people than was here last night... What's the matter? The end time is here, brother. It's here, beyond any shadow of doubt. That same action in Germany, Switzerland, Africa, anywhere in the other lands, that same thing would've took place, there'd have been a hundred thousand people there, there'd have been at least twenty or thirty thousand come to Christ. And the next night, there'd have been double that.
What is it? The Holy Spirit has flew away from us, and She's gone overseas hunting lambs to dwell in. That's really, exactly what's taking place. What a time, what a tragedy, to see that we... The more the church preaches, the more the saints cry out, it seems like the farther away from God the nation gets. No wonder airplanes are crashing in the air, boats are crashing on the sea.
The Bible said there'd be perplexed of times, distress between the nations, great signs, flying saucers through the air, sights in the heavens above and on earth below, all these things taking place; but the Gospel will be preached.

L-57 And He said, "There will come a famine in the land, not for bread and--and water, but for the hearing of the Word of God, the true Word of God." A famine... Oh, what a day that we're living in. We ought to be ready, making ready.
"Now, what are you speaking to, Brother Branham? Are you saying that to me?" I am saying that to you. If you're unsaved, if you haven't never received Christ, if you don't know what it is to be filled with the Holy Spirit, I'm speaking to you.
If you're a born again Christian, prayed up, doing everything that you can, just remember you can say "Hallelujah" to it.
