<TITLE>16. Par 62-66</TITLE>L-62 Now, look, when Christ was on earth, the Son of God, which Isaac the promised one of the child, how'd he know he was going to have it? He was speaking to him what He was going to do by the killing of these sacrificial beasts, speaking of Christ.
And what did God do at Calvary to confirm the covenant? He took His own Son to Calvary; and on Calvary's cross He tore Him apart. He said, "Father, into Thy hand, I commend My Spirit." And He--God rent the Spirit from the body, and He took the body up to glory (You believe that?), setting at the right hand of His majesty, and sent the Holy Spirit that was in Him, down to the church to confirm and to do the same things that He did when He was here on earth, to write the covenant on this and to that...

L-63 And brother, the only way in the world that the covenant will ever be keeped, or be kept, is when you and I receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost that God tore Christ apart and sent the Holy Ghost down for you and I. The only way we'll be able to go up in the rapture is when that body comes to receive the Spirit again, the raptured people that's in the covenant. And the covenant is the circumcision by the baptism of the Holy Ghost, that's Abraham's seed. Amen. Whew. I feel like shouting myself. My.
God made the promise, and He tore Christ apart at Calvary. And on Pentecost, He sent the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and the Spirit that was in Christ is in you and you're a new creature. "And the works," Christ said, "that I do shall you do also; even to the end of the world I'll be with you." Hallelujah.
Oh, my. Friends, when I think of it to see how perfect it is that the Scripture lays on it. You may think I'm excited, but I'm not excited. If you felt like I did, you'd do the same and act the same.

L-64 Look, friends, God made the promise. God sent it back, and here each night is confirming that promise, that it's the truth. God keeps His covenant. God confirms His covenant. When you see Christ going through the audience and doing the things that He did when He was here on earth, knowing like Abraham, knowing like Christ did when He was here on earth, the different things. The woman at the well and all these things taking place the way it is, it's God's writing on the second piece of paper, pulling out His Church for His Name's sake, with the same Spirit was on this body up here, and this body is a raptured body that'll go to meet this one. God took an oath by Himself till there was no other He could take it by and swore that He would keep it. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]

L-65 Hallelujah. My, my, don't be scared of hallelujah it means, "Praise our God." He's worthy of every praise that could be given Him. Amen.
A woman the other day told me, said, "Mr. Branham, you brag too much on Jesus."
I said, "I don't brag enough."
She said, "You make Him more than a man."
I said, "He was more than a man."
Oh, she said, "You're mistaken. He was a prophet." She was a Christian Science. And she said, "He was a prophet, but he wasn't a--no, he wasn't Divine."
I said, "He was either Divine or the biggest deceiver the world ever known." She said--I said, "If His--if He wasn't Emmanuel's Blood... If God, the Father, didn't overshadow that virgin and create a Blood cell in her (That's right.), that brought forth this Son, Christ Jesus... Nobody, no man had nothing to do with that. God Himself did it."

L-66 And the Blood's why we're redeemed. That's what's the matter with the church tonight. It's in anemic condition. It needs a blood transfusion from Calvary and the old fashion baptism of the Holy Spirit back into the church again, hell fire and brimstone preached till it's scorching the coattails of the believers. Amen. That's true.
What we need today is an old time Saint Paul's revival and the Bible Holy Ghost back again. Correctly. What we need is some preachers that'll get out and preach the truth of the thing.
