<TITLE>11. Par 32-35</TITLE>L-32 Brother, footprints is possession. Ministering brethren, don't be afraid to put print--footprints where God has told you to go. Amen. It's possession. He told Joshua, "Everywhere the soles of your feet set, that's yours." Amen. We don't back up; we take what God said and that's the truth. No matter what the opposition is, how great it seems, and how difficult it seems, if God said so, it's yours. When He give it to Joshua, He never said, "I'll take all--all the Havites, and Philistines, and give it to you." Joshua had to fight for every inch of ground, but God was with Him. And every inch of ground you'll cover, brother, to make footprints, you'll fight your way through. But take the Sword of the Spirit, brother, and move right on. Footprints is possession.

L-33 If we went tonight, down into the city to find Jesus, what type of person would we look for? I just want to see if He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. What type of person? Will you--we look for some person dressed different from other men? Someone, maybe with a great big turban on top of his head, and great long gowns a flowing from him, walking down the street? If He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, He wouldn't be dressed like that, 'cause He dressed like common men; walked among them, and they couldn't tell Him from anybody else. That's right.
And would we look for a man that used great big swelling words, that studied all day for great words to speak to their audience who doesn't understand what they're talking about? Certainly not. Jesus talked in such simple street language until today it's got the translators confused. They don't know how to take it, because the words that they speak on the street was so much different from their high classics, till it confuses them now.

L-34 You... When... The worst place I--where I needed an interpreter worse than anywhere else, was London, England. When I heard those cockney's speak, I didn't know what they were talking about. And one time I called from--from Shreveport, Louisiana. I was calling to New York City. And right here in America, they had to get someone at St. Louis, the little operators did; well, that little northern girl couldn't understand what those southerners was saying. And this little Rebel couldn't understand what that Yankee was saying. And they had to get somebody to interpret between them, right here in the United States. So Jesus used the common language. His...
"Brother Branham, I thought you didn't preach nothing but the Bible." That's right. The Bible said the common people heard Him gladly. He talked like they could understand. Where would we find Him, in the great high cathedrals and big places of the city? No, sir, not if He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. He came to the common people. They refused Him in the big cultured places. They had a classic of their own. And He didn't fit in with their program. I hope He would today. He might not. But He... I don't think He would. He didn't then, so He wouldn't now, if He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-35 So, what would we look for? Would we look for a scholar out of some seminary? I don't think so. They ask Him where did He get His scholarship, or "Where'd You get this learning? What school did You come out of?" We haven't got one record He ever went to school. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. The Bible said He was.
Now, if I want to introduce Him to you tonight as your Saviour Who you know, there's only one difference in Jesus tonight, that He was then; that's His corporal body. His corporal body's at the right hand of God. His Spirit is here doing the same thing that He did. So now we'd have to find those ty... We'd have to type His life.
Now, there's got to be somebody right and somebody wrong. They just can't... There's nine hundred and sixty-nine different denomination of churches and there's got to be somebody right and somebody wrong with all that.
