<TITLE>13. Par 60-63</TITLE>L-60 And that meek, humble spirit that you used to have, you wasn't all temper and saw blades like you are. The Holy Spirit just took It's flight. You've put on shorts; the Holy Spirit flew away. You started smoking cigarettes; the Holy Spirit flew away. You started getting grouchy and fussy, and the Holy Spirit flew away. You started a little cult in your church; the Holy Spirit flew away. You broke away from your church and pulled off with some little cult; the Holy Spirit flew away. The Holy Spirit's not a Author of confusion. It's to unite the big Body of Christ together: one Spirit, one purpose, one accord. That's when the Holy Spirit come on the day of Pentecost.
There was a hundred and twenty people up there; Pharisees, Sadducees and everything, but there were in one accord. And they were humble; they were God's lambs that was led to the upper room, no fussing, no nothing. And all of a sudden there came the wings of the Holy Ghost caming down--coming down from heaven and It went into every heart. Oh, how they walked, lived, died in their testimony. Anything short of that, it won't work.

L-61 Now, while we're in prayer, before we pray, rather, I wonder if there be... How many in here would raise up your hands and say, "Brother Branham, I raised up my hands before God. I know I have... The Holy Spirit doesn't deal with me like It used to. I used to have the sweetest experience. When I was first saved, I'd tell you, everybody I loved. But, oh, I've listened to this one; I've listened to that one. I've heard this, and I've listened to that, till I've become--till I don't know what I do want. I'm just in an awful confusion." That's an awful way to be, honey.
My dear brother, let me tell you something. God loves you and He don't want you confused. He wants you to know His Voice. And if you'd like to have that sweet, humble Spirit again...

L-62 You say, "Is that it, Brother Branham?"
Let me quote the Scripture. He said, "Go through the city, through the midst of the city and put a seal upon every head that sighs and cries for the abominations done in the city." That sweet Holy Spirit, that something in the human heart makes it call out with the love of God to do the will of God, not jump up-and-down and holler, not run all over the building, not speak with tongues, not pray for the sick, not prophesy, not interpret; that ain't what I'm talking about. That's that outward something. But if something... That's good. That's some of the Spirit; that's right. But if there isn't something in there to anchor you with that, it doesn't do a bit of good. It's the wheel I was talking to without a hub in it. If that isn't anchored back there by love, it'll do more harm than it does good.

L-63 Now, if you really want God to come to your heart and make you sweet, meek, humble, gentle, you want the Dove to come back... He just--He just flew off a little piece from you. He wants to come back tonight, children. He wants to come back. Sure He does. Would you just raise your hand to him and say, "God, remember me." God bless you. That's wonderful. Just dozens of hands everywhere, sure; you Methodists, Baptists, Lutherans, Pentecostals, Nazarenes, Pilgrim Holiness, sure...
What about you Nazarenes, how you used to be so sweet. But you got all different. You got a root of bitterness. Something happened.
What happened to you Pentecostals? You used to be sweet too. But what happened? "Glory to God, hallelujah, I got it." But you found out it made you act different. Your fruit's what tells what you are. That's right.
