<TITLE>04. Par 10-12</TITLE>L-10 But you'll never isolate yourself and get anything from God, 'cause we're won't--we've got to not imitate, impersonate. You've got to have it. That's exactly right. There's too much pretension of Christianity, pretending, so-called Christianity. But Christianity is not nothing you pretend; you've got to have it. You've got to have it. The devil knows whether you've got it or not. He knows all about it. No matter how much you can put on a great psychological effect on the outside, the devil knows just how deep that is, and he stand and laugh at you. Certainly. He knows he has got you whipped to begin with. But when God, in the stillness of His Spirit, has placed it in you, the devil can't stand on that ground. He can't guile that sand with his dirty hoofs. Certainly. He can't come to that place, because it's a place where God and man meets alone. See?
Now, like the Son of God, like all the water that was in the whole world was the Spirit that was within Him. He had the Spirit without measure; we have It by measure. Is that the scripture? All right.

L-11 Now, say this little gift here would be a spoonful of water out of the whole ocean. That would be comparison with this little gift, the sight of the Son of God. But remember, one spoonful of water out of the ocean is part of the ocean. Do you get it? In quality, the same, in quantity, much smaller (See?), much smaller.
Now, that's the reason... But the same chemicals that's in the whole ocean is in this one little spoonful. It's the same type. And that's how that you, by your faith, touch God, and He answers back that way. That's the way it was in the Bible. That's the way it is now.
It's been kind of hard to get the English speaking people to understand that. Very hard, but I... This great vision that the Lord gave in January, I believe He's just now unfolding, and I make this announcement in this arena, here, that I believe that my ministry is unfolding to something it's never been in before. That's right.

L-12 Now, we're going to speak of our blessed Lord Jesus this afternoon. Someone said to me one time, said, "Brother Branham, there's just one fault I can find to you."
I said, "Well, your just one fault. That's good."
Said, "But that is you brag too much on Jesus."
I said, "What?"
Said, "You brag too much on Jesus."
I said, "I couldn't brag too much on Him. No matter what I'd ever say, I still can't brag enough on Him. I can't find the words to speak to--to exalt Him high enough. I can't find the gifts anywhere to declare Him. He's beyond that."
Said, "Well, you brag so much about Him."
I said, "He's worthy of every word I would say, and every word or every praise that we could give Him. And I love Him."
And I want--we want to talk to Him. And I know you do, too. That's why you are here this afternoon. You love Him. You long to see Him. There's something in your heart that longs for that place where you know you've come from; it's behind the curtain. Just the human heart is hungering to get in behind that curtain again, to look a past the curtain. That's why we come together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, to see what God would tell us.
