<TITLE>19. Par 197-206</TITLE>L-197   "It's quicker, thought-er, more powerful than a two-edged sword, and a discerner of the thoughts and the intents of the heart."
Now, what is it that knows the intents of the heart? God. You said, "Well, the Bible said, 'The Word of God.'" The Word of God is God.
In the beginning was the Word,... the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,...

L-198 God discerns the thoughts. Abraham had his back turned, and--and so did God have His back turned to the tent. And Sarah laughed. And God turned around, said, "What made Sarah laugh?" A discerner of the thoughts of the heart! I want that to soak a little bit.

L-199 Then when that kind of a ministry raises up, that God promised in the last day, what happened? "Mental telepathy."

L-200 Did not they call the Lord, Himself, "Beelzebub"? He said, "If they've called the Master of the house 'Beelzebub,' how much more will they call His disciples?"

L-201   I love you. It goes to show that you're interested enough, you don't have to come to an air-conditioned building to hear the Gospel. You're hungry enough to come to a place like this. God never would let us build nothing but this. We love it this way. Just a little old shack, but that's the way we love it. God don't dwell in glamour. God dwells in humility. We love it like this. We're happy to come, and you are, too, to set in a--a place like this. No matter how hot it is, how much you sweat on your new suit, your new dress, that don't make any difference.
You're listening to Eternal Life, to the Word of God that knows the thoughts of your heart. The Pillar of Fire that hung over the children of Israel, hangs here tonight. I could challenge it: there isn't a man could stand here under the power of the Holy Ghost without God just spilling him right out and telling him what he was. That's right. There you are.

L-202 What is It? What is It? It's the same Spirit that led the Children of Israel to their rest, and they fell because of unbelief. Don't you fall. This is the last chance. Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Life come through there.

L-203   Justification, Martin Luther, still a form of religion. Sanctification... Martin Luther; John Wesley; the baptism of the Holy Ghost, Life. Justification, is believing; sanctification, is the cleansing; Holy Ghost, is the filling, Life. Not through the Lutheran age; they had It in a form. Not through the Wesley age; they had It in a form. But this is the age when the Holy Ghost comes, Hisself.

L-204 And if you haven't received It, how do you, can you believe miracles? That takes God, in you, to believe. You act like God. You know like God. You think like God. The Bible said that you are amateur, little "gods." Jesus said so. For, you're a part of God.
Just the same as I'm a little Branham, and you're a little whoever-you-are, and because your parents is that name. The nature that you are is because your parents is that way, 'cause you was born of them.
And the reason that you believe God, and believe in miracles, and signs and wonders, because you are sons and daughters of God. You receive Life. Life comes on the third. All right.

L-205 When Jesus went up on the mountain, everywhere He went, He taken Peter, James, and John, three witnesses. Three is the number of Life. Get it? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Love, joy, peace.

L-206   Now, let's go quickly now to the end of the chapter, quickly, as we read.
For the word of God is quicker, more powerful... than twoedged sword,... and discerning even the intents of the heart.
Neither is there any creature that is not manifested in his sight: but all things are... opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
