<TITLE>16. Par 83-87</TITLE>L-83 We pray that You'll receive those tonight who raised their hands, and may they receive Jehovah-jireh's provided Sacrifice for their sins tonight, and each of them be taken into the Kingdom peacefully, and given Eternal Life, and then baptized by the Holy Ghost into the church of the living God, and positionally placed into the Body as a position to work with the members of the Body of Christ.
Hear the prayer of Your servant, Lord, as I commit them to Thee in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen.

L-84 The Lord bless you, my dear people. Oh, He is so wonderful, don't you think He's wonderful?
God's provided Sacrifice, what is it now? Let me go through it real closely, quietly, before we pray for the sick.
What was it now? Let's go back. We... The promise was made to Abraham and Abraham's seed alone. No promise was made to anyone else but to Abraham and his seed. What was he to be? The father of nations, nations: Jew, Gentile, Samaritan, whatever, the father of nations.

L-85 How do we become the Seed? Is to accept the provided Way. How did He show He did it? He made a covenant and tore the pieces apart and made the covenant with Abraham.
At Calvary He made the covenant with, not with the Jews, but with the whole world. He raised up His Son, tore Him apart, took His body up to set up there on the right hand of the Majesty, sent back down the Holy Spirit to produce the same Life of Christ here in the church.
Jesus said, before He left, "A little while and the world won't see Me no more; yet you'll see Me, for I'll be with you, in you to the end of the world. The things that I do, shall you also."

L-86 This man standing here (I don't know the brother's name, the Alliance brother.) mentioned in there of being in the presence of Doctor Reedhead, Morse Reedhead. Doctor Reedhead is one of the best scholars, I believe that this nation or any other nation has got.
When Doctor Reedhead came to my house... Just a moment. When he came to my house, he came there with Don Wells, one of the biggest Baptist churches in the south. They said, "Brother Branham, we want to ask you something. Now, you've been with the Pentecostal people for about seven or eight years."
I said, "Yes, sir."
He said, "Is there anything to that Holy Ghost they're talking about?"
I said, "Absolutely."
He said, "Well, we seen them tear up the furniture and this..."
I said, "Just lay that aside." I said, "They're children."
And he said, "Look, Brother Branham," Doctor Reedhead said, "When I was seven years old..." You probably heard his story, how he was called of God. And he said, "I worked and I thought, 'Oh, if I ever be able to be ordained as a minister, won't it be wonderful?'" Said, "I'll find Christ right there."

L-87 When he was ordained, said, "It wasn't there." He said, "If I ever get my B.A.," the Bachelor of Arts, said, "I'll find Him there." Said, "I got my B.A. and He wasn't there." Said, "I thought when I got my D.D. and my other degree," said, "Brother Branham, I could almost plaster your wall with degrees." And he said, "Where's Christ in all of it?" He said, "Has the teachers been wrong?"
I said, "I don't want to say that. I don't want to say that they're wrong. They're right in what they teach, but they're not right... They go far but they don't go far enough." I said, "Christ doesn't lay in a Bachelor of Art. Neither does He lay in a credential. Neither does He lay in a church or a denomination." That's right.
