<TITLE>11. Par 46-50</TITLE>L-46 I think you... You know the Bible is a love letter. You just don't read It like this and say, "Oh, so-and-so, and so-and-so, and so-and-so." You don't get it. The Bible said... I don't care how much education you got and how many Ph.D.'s and LL.D.'s you got. You'll never know the Bible till the Holy Ghost will reveal It Himself.
The... Jesus thanked God. Said, "I thank Thee, O Father, that Thou hast hid these things from the eyes of the wise and prudent and will reveal them to babes such as will learn." You don't have to be smart. You have to--to humble yourself. God's words are secret love Letters to His Church.
Now, my wife, how I love her. And she'll write me a letter when I'm overseas and she'll say, "Dear Billy, I... I'm... Tonight with the babies, I have just put them to sleep. I'm a..." go to talking like that. Now, that's what she wrote on the paper. See? But I love her so much that I can read right between the lines what really she means. See?

L-47 Now, that's the way it is with God. Not because you know so much, but because you love Him, and He loves you, set down and read His love Letter. And He will just speak to you right between the letters. The real context is in the text, and the context is revealed by the Holy Ghost. Oh, that would make a Methodist shout. Think of it, brother, how that is. That's right. See? It's a love Letter, a love affair between you and your Maker. And He will reveal it to you as He--as you have need of.
Now, we could go back, and I could pick up things in the Bible that the kind fellowship of the Holy Spirit that you'd look at it, but right here I want to drop a little something to you. And if...?... I hope it's a comfort to you that the Holy Spirit showed me one time.

L-48 Notice, Abraham was talking to God and these two Angels, and God had His back turned to the tent. He said, "Now, Abraham," in other wise like this. "I--I... You've been faithful, and so now, I'm going to keep My promise to you. And according to the time of life..." It's a mixed audience, but you know what I mean, the twenty-eight days for the Sarah. Said, "I'm going to visit you. And you're going to have this baby."
And Sarah [Brother Branham illustrates.--Ed.] laughed. And God with His back turned (talk about mental telepathy), He said, "Why did Sarah laugh?" With His back turned to the tent, the Bible said so. "Why did Sarah laugh?"
And Sarah said, "Oh, I didn't laugh."
Said, "Oh, yes, you did. You did laugh." 'Cause she was scared. He said, "I'm going to visit you, and I'm going to confirm My covenant. I'm going to bring forth My promise." Amen.

L-49 I want you to watch something just a minute. Immediately God did something to Abraham and Sarah there what He's going to do to every child of Sarah and Abraham. Every child of Abraham, by faith in Christ, He will do this someday.
Now, look, I believe I was speaking one night this week. I asked a doctor one time; I said, "When I eat food, is it true that I renew my life?"
He said, "Yes, sure. You put blood cells in by the food."

L-50 I said, "All right, when I was sixteen years old, every time I'd eat, I'd bigger, stronger. And I eat the same kind of food, more of it, and better, and I'm getting older and weaker." I said, "If I'm renewing my life, why would I have to die as long as I could eat then?" See?
And he said, "Well..."
I said, "Here doctor, here's a jar setting here, a glass, and I've got a large container of water. I'm pouring water into this glass, and it begins to fill up. That's what I'm putting life in. I'm growing, getting bigger, all the time stronger. And all at once it gets to a certain place, not full, but then instead of getting full, I'm pouring more water in faster, and it's going down all the time. And there's no place where it's going out. So we just wonder what's the matter. Scientifically prove it to me." You can't.
