<TITLE>13. Par 46-49</TITLE>L-46 Baptist, Methodist, and they all culted down. You Pentecostal went after a little sensations, a little funny feeling, or a little oil or blood in your hands and face. And what did you get to? You see where you're setting tonight? Come back to Christ and open your eyes, men.
It's the love of God that's absolutely pure and sure. And how can you prove you've got the love of God, and fussing, and fighting, and stewing, and acting the way we're doing? That's hard, but it's truth.
Someone said to me a few days ago, after the first sermon here at the church on that, said, "Brother Branham, you'll never be popular preaching that."
I said, "I don't want to be popular. I want to be honest." Don't care about popularity. I want to be honest before God. I could have compromised with it a long time ago, but God give me a heart to stay true to Him. I don't care what happens. If I don't have a friend left on earth, I want One in glory. When I cross the river of death, I want to meet Him there. Certainly...

L-47 I'm only saying this, not prejudice; I'm saying this to stir your hearts, to some of you people stop this little face around here, and get back to an old fashion prayer meeting in each home around here. You'll make preachers ashamed of themselves. The laity can do it if you'll just do it. If the preachers can't get to do it, gather; you get together. Have a revival.
Not indifferent, making it different from somebody else, but making for the church of the living God. All these good blessings, we never appreciated them. Night after night, hour after hour, God puts His blessings down. But soon they'll be lifted.

L-48 Closing, I'll say this: you know what's the matter with America? You've seen too much.
No long ago, I was in a city, about six weeks ago, Waterloo, Iowa. And someone come told me, said, "Well, all of our people there; they've already been to your meeting, Brother Branham." Said, "There's no need of going down to Brother Branham's meeting." Said, "If you go down there, the only thing you see, people come up on the platform, and it's told them what about themselves, and so forth like that. Oh, we believe all of that." Don't you see how cruel the human heart can be? That ought to thrill the human heart in such a place, it would start prayer meetings everywhere, but they're so cold, so indifferent. Just what the Bible said they'd be, the Laodicean church age. But those who He loves, He chastens, rebukes: those who He loves. Certainly, He does.
That was His message to the Laodicean Church, and remember, this text that I'm reading tonight, is to the Laodicean church. "I stand and knock at the door." [Brother Branham knocks--Ed.] Certainly.

L-49 We've seen so much and so much of God's glory: Oral Roberts, all the rest of them, their meetings seems to go, be going down. Sure. Even Billy Graham's. Lot of them. You don't have it no more like you used to. What's the matter? The little going over is just about finished. It don't excite the people any more to see good meetings, great revivals. They don't care for great preachers and so forth, that the Lord has sent them like those men.
Here, sometime ago, I made a remark about a man that was starting a little sensation. I said, "Don't do that, Brother. If I could preach like you did, I'd never mention such a thing as that." Well, you try to get something a little different from any other bunch, so you can draw this bunch over this way, and this bunch over this way. My, point them up "that way." That's where we go.
