<TITLE>09. Par 27-28</TITLE>L-27 Not long ago, and a famous man was converted and received the Holy Spirit in my room. He come to me with such a heartbreaking story and told me what happened: how that he was totally defeated by a Mohammedan. Morris Reedhead, president of the Sudan missions, biggest in the world... He said, "Brother Branham, a Indian boy came over and was--was--went to school here in a big, good college." And I think... I don't know what he had learned. It might've been electrical mechanics or something. "On his road back, I..." he said. "I said to him, 'Why don't denounce your old dead prophet and receive the resurrected Lord Jesus?'"
And said, the Mohammedan said, "Kind sir, what could your resurrected Jesus, as you call Him, do for me, any more than my prophet?" Said, "They both wrote books: yours, called the Bible, mine called the Koran." Said, "Both promised life after death and we believe it." Said, "What good could your Jesus do me than my Mohammed ha--can do?"
Well, Dr. Reedhead said to him, said, "Why, he could a... My Jesus is raised from the dead and your ha--Mohammed is still in the grave."
He, the Mohammedan said, "Did He? I'd like to see you prove it."
"Oh," he said, "We know that He raised from the dead."
Well, said, "You've had two thousand years to prove it," and said, "one--only one-third the world ever heard His Name." He said, "Let Mohammed raise from the dead, in twenty-four hours all the world will know it." And said, "He will raise some of these days and the world, less than twenty-four hours, will know it, 'cause he'll conquer it." He said, "But your Jesus died just like my Mohammed," and said, "you can't prove it."
And it, Dr. Reedhead said, "Now, wait a minute. We can have joy, the Spirit of God in our heart. We rejoice because that we know that Jesus raised from the dead."
He said, "Now, just a moment, Mr. Reedhead. Mohammedan religion can produce just as much psychology as Christianity can." Said, "We're just as happy, can shout just as loud, expecting Mohammed to return as you can Jesus' return."
Doctor Reedhead said, "I knew I hadn't met some overnight person. That man knowed what he was talking about."

L-28 And, brother, Jesus never did commission us to go into the world and build churches, although they're good, and to do these things, and get great organizations, and so forth. He never did tell us to do that. His commission was, "Preach the Gospel." And the Gospel come not by word only, but through power and demonstrations of the Holy Ghost. "These signs to follow the believer." And we've done everything but what He commissioned us to do. That's why the world hasn't heard it, because it's the weakness of human theology and not the power of the resurrection of Christ.
