<TITLE>03. Par 7-9</TITLE>L-7 It tells me, I don't tell It. He tells me. I don't tell Him what to do; He tells me what to do. Sometimes my desires are different from His will, so then, He just lets me alone. But when He wants me to do something, He does it.
Now, we see those things... So that it might kind of clear up in your mind... And now today, I've--just not coming... That anointing is a different thing, it's a different feeling when it--what it is of preaching. The anointing, something's going from you all the time. That... It's the visions, the people, they draw it themselves. It isn't me that sees the visions of those people. I'm not the one that operates that. It's you're the one that operates that.
You say, "Brother Branham, tell me about..." I can't, I don't know. See? If--you are the one that does that. It wasn't Jesus that healed the woman that touched His garment; it was the woman's faith in Him that healed herself. Why, "Thy faith has saved thee." Jesus didn't know who she was or what was wrong with her, or nothing about it, until God showed Him. She just touched His garment. See? "Thy faith has saved thee." Not, "I healed you." Your faith did it. See? That's the difference.

L-8 Now, this little gift that the Lord has, by His grace, given to me, is not anything to glorify my... If I'd ever do that, it might leave me. Or I might have to leave the world. It's not for me. It's for you. That's the reason I can't operate it. You operate it. You're the one who does it.
Now, if I come here with ever such a great gift, and you people come in, you say, "I don't believe it. Nothing to it. Not nothing to it at all." There would be nothing happen. So therefore, it doesn't take me, it takes you and I both. Both of us operate the gift of God. The gift comes on me, and you operate it by your faith. How many understands that, just raise up your hand say, "I--I see what you mean, Brother Branham." See, see? So no man can say, "Oh, it's me." It isn't. It's God.
Neither is it you. You couldn't operate it, 'less it was somewhere to be operated. I couldn't operate it, 'less there's something to operate through. See there? "I am the Vine," said Jesus, "You are the branches." Jesus gives the energy, and we collect it.

L-9 Now, here's where... Now, like in the Son of God. Now, in Him, in the Son of God was the fulness of God. God, Jehovah dwelt in His son, Christ Jesus. We believe that; all of us do. I know there's a little fuss about that, and about the trinity, and so forth like that, but that's just the carnal condition of man. They both believe the same thing, and they just won't stand still long enough to listen to it; that's all.
There's... Trinity, they don't believe there's three Gods. That is heathenism. And the oneness don't believe that Christ was His own daddy. So, what would that be? See? But you both believe the same thing. But as long as you fuss, God's never going to bless you. When you just tear your walls down and be brothers, and shake one another's hands, God will come in and bless you. That's exactly right.
