<TITLE>22. Par 70-72</TITLE>L-70 Now, Christ had the Spirit without measure. Now, that was Christ, the whole ocean. This little gift that's in your servant here, brother, is just a little drop out of the ocean. It's in measure. But remember, the same chemicals that's in the entire ocean is in that spoon, that little drop. But it's not as much of it. See? And so our ministries are the chemicals that's made up in the--the great economy of God. And God can use those chemicals the way He wants to. It's just not as much of it. But all together, it's more of it than was in the one. See, the Fullness of God is in His Church. But we have the Spirit with measure--with, by measure.
Now, that's what makes the weakness. That's what it is that--that takes place. That's the reason I don't stay long on the platform. That's the reason they watch me. I faint almost. I go... Now, it seems like stepping off the world. You're coming out of another world. You're coming down here. But what does it declare? There is a land beyond the river, brother. Beyond any shadow of a doubt, we're not in any kind of a fiction. We're not in some kind of a mythical, hoodoo hypnotism. It's the resurrected Christ proving Himself.

L-71 Standing that night on the platform after three or four went by, here come a blind man and he stood. Then I'm closing. There was a blind man came by. And he was blind. It called his name, told him who he was. And then, under that anointing, you can feel the spirit; I can feel it in the meeting there where... You can tell where that darkness, coldness, indifference is setting (You see?), like that. But I used to, I'd call them out. I'd say, "What are you disbelieving for? You--you so-and-so, you Presbyterian preacher." And the first thing you know, if you root up the weed, you pull the wheat with it. So it's best just to leave it alone. See? Just go ahead, do your work. "What's that to thee. Follow me." See? Just do what you're supposed to do and then go ahead.

L-72 So then, I didn't mean altogether Presbyterian. Many times, Pentecostal preachers (That's right.), unbelievers, just as much as there is anywhere else, brethren. That's right. So then, when they a... Now they'll come to you. That's what hurts. They'll come to you, "Brother Branham, we love you." And you know that's wrong. See them right there and watch that spirit, feel it. Just set and talk to the man a few minutes and watch that vision work above there. I--I'd rather not see it. I'd rather not know it. I want to believe his testimony's right. And when... See, it creates something in you. What would I call that? Well, it's something that... It creates a distrust that you don't want to have. You want to love them anyhow. You see? And then that's the reason sometime, I'm a little misunderstood and think that I'm an isolationist. I'm not. I love my brothers. See? But, I--I want to have that, keep that love in my heart. I never want it to be broke. See? Every man loves me, and I love every man. That--that's the way it is. You see? I want to do that.
