<TITLE>01. Par 1-11</TITLE>57-0821, Hebrews, Chapter One, Branham Tabernacle, Jeffersonville, IN, 88 min
L-1      And to give a--a little... I think there's nothing better, to me, than just the Word. "Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing the Word of God."

L-2 On Wednesdays, and maybe on Sundays, one of the services of Sunday, giving the pastor just a little rest, which he's very deserving of it, and thought maybe we'd just take a Book in the Bible. We used to do that, and sometimes stay a year on it.

L-3 I remember one time we stayed a solid year on the Book of Revelation. But, oh, my, the things that we learned, and how wonderful it was! Then we went back and got the Book of Daniel, or the Book of Genesis, or Exodus, and just take it, chapter by chapter, and it just tied the entire Bible together. Oh, I just love that!

L-4   Little later on, we'll have to get the... If the Lord continues to bless and we go on, we'll get into some real deep things in here, real deep. And we'll just go from place to place, through the Scripture, with it.

L-5 And I like to make Scripture compare with Scripture. That's the way it must be. It's just one great beautiful picture. And in this Book that we're studying, we're going to get in, oh, salvation, and Divine healing, and miracles, and mercies. And, oh, everything comes in here.

L-6 And maybe when I get to a place where I have to get to the meetings... I never know just when I'm going to be to a meeting, called to a meeting, because I don't have anything set until I just feel led to do a certain thing. And that may be before in the morning, I may fly to California, up to Maine or somewhere, just where He would call me. That's the reason I don't set great, long itineraries, because I can't do that. My ministry is not cut out that way, and it's just different.

L-7   And now I come home just for a little rest. I lost twenty pounds, in this last meeting. And Brother Mercier and Brother Goad was up, a while ago, and said, "Brother Branham, I notice what you do. You put your whole heart into it."

L-8 I said, "That's the only way you can do a right kind of a job for the Lord, is put everything you got right to the forefront for Christ; all your strength, all your soul, all your heart, all your mind, everything that you got." When you're doing anything, do it right or don't do it at all, see, just leave it alone. You're going to be a Christian, put everything that you've got to Christ, that's, your time, your talent, your every thing.

L-9 I just noticing this young fellow. That's your wife, Brother Burns, is it, that playing and singing there, that young couple. And--and it isn't a piano, neither is it an organ, but it's some kind of instrument, they make a strum it and pick it, and do something for the Lord. If you could do that, and sing, that's, win souls. Do something, no matter. If you--you can whistle, well, whistle. Just do something. Just testify or do something for the Kingdom of God. Whatever you got, put it to the use in God's service.

L-10   Now, we're not going to try to stay very long, because I know you work. You got to get up early. And I'm going squirrel hunting every morning. I'll just tell you the truth. That's what I'm doing. That's what I come home for, is to rest a little. And so I'm getting up, about four o'clock, and going out in the woods and, well, hunt little bit and go to sleep. And I'm gaining some of that weight back, so I'll get rested up, after while, if you... the Lord willing. And everything is fine.

L-11 All right, now, we're going to turn in your Bibles. I want you to bring your Bibles each night, that you... as you can. If somebody lacks a few, would somebody want to follow along with the readings, we got some here, we'd have the... some of the ushers to pass them out. Anybody want one? Well, just raise your hand.
