<TITLE>14. Par 47-50</TITLE>L-47 You have to know it by the Spirit. Flesh cannot do those things. What is it? The vine, the branches, the same life that was in the vine comes through His branches. He feeds the branch through His vine. That's how He declares Himself to be the same yesterday, and forever, for He said, "I'm the Vine." The Holy Spirit now, Christ in Spirit form in you, energizing you with His Spirit to believe God, and He's everything that He does, He manifests Himself just like He did in the Bible times. "The works that I do, shall you also. A little while, and the world won't see Me no more (How many knows He said that? That's the unbeliever.), yet ye shall Me (the believer), for I ('I,' personal pronoun), I'll be with you, even in you, to the end of the world." Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever. "The works that I do, shall you do also."
Now, the word there in King James says, "Greater works than this will you do." But if you'll run that back to the Greek Lexicon, you'll find out that it doesn't mean, "greater," it means "more." You couldn't do greater. He stopped nature; He--He healed the sick; He raised the dead; He--He done things. Well, there could be no more done. But you could do more of it, because He would be in His church as the branch--as the vine in His branches, or whole world around...?... the same thing.

L-48 Oh, my, when I think of it, and how He promised to do it, tell me where the Jew back there, where it was manifested before him, where he got that at. Knowing that was the sign of the Messiah... How did the Samaritan woman know it? The same way that the believer knows it today. It's God's promise, and we look for it. And we're in the end time, and the glory of God back to the grain again, and the church is making herself ready, to stand on her feet to be carried into glory when Jesus comes. We believe Him to be here.
I don't say that He will. I don't know that He will. I've stood before tens of thousands, just a half a million at one time, and took the Bible in one hand, and the the Koran in the other, and said, "One of them is right, and the other one's wrong." I said, "You just got through saying, 'You're waiting for somebody, when I landed in India.'" That's where it taken place.

L-49 All the bishop of the Methodist church, and many of them met me out there, the Pentecostal brethren, many a--a great churches. They said, "Mr. Branham, we don't want you to come here as a missionary. We had the Bible two thousand years before you was a nation; that's a eastern Book. You western people don't have the slant on it." Not disregarding our education to it, but that's a lot of truth, for it's an oriental Book, wrote in a oriental customs. Right. He said, "We know the Word, but we understand that God has given you yankees, His spirit to make this Bible live again." Said, "That's what we want to know."

L-50 That night (after being entertained that day by seventeen different religions of India, and every one of them against Christ.)... that night, before the Mohammedans, before the rest of them, every mouth was closed, and God in His great mercy, give sight to a man that had been blind for twenty years. Standing there, even tell him who he was, and where he come from, had to spell his name, couldn't even pronounce it, and so forth. Then I could see with tens of thousands look like of black hands, raising up to receive Christ as personal Saviour.
There in Durban, South Africa, my last meeting there, but something taken place on the platform. We stand as white people; we're were full of superstitions: Doctor So-and-So said it was mental telepathy; somebody else said it was something else, something else, something else, something else, till the poor people don't what to believe. But they're heathen, and when they stood there...
