<TITLE>12. Par 53-57</TITLE>L-53 I've been ten years among the--the people and trying everywhere, standing between them, trying to bring a revival. What are you doing? You're saying, "I belong to the Assemblies. I belong to the--to the Church of God, I belong to the Four Square." That doesn't mean [Brother Branham snaps his fingers--Ed.] that to God.
What have you done? Organized yourself, broke up brotherhood and everything. And God's standing... He loves all of His church. He wants us all together. And when we come together, then in one accord, in unity, in power of the resurrection of His Son, Jesus... We need a love.

L-54 I don't care how much your minister knows. If he fusses and says this other guy hasn't got anything to do with it, because I don't baptize like him, and he don't belong to our organization, he needs another dip at Calvary. That's exactly right. Until we can have love one for the other... God's standing at the door and knocking. "I knock, and no man seems to be able to answer."
What it is, God's shook every gift before us. All kinds of signs and wonders and--been done, and still we just won't let Jesus come any further. You're afraid to take His Word, afraid to trust Him. If you just only know how good He is to you, if you'd only wake up to realize...

L-55 Sometime ago I... What the world is looking for, just a moment, is to see some display, not of shouting (That's all right, I believe in that.), not speaking in tongues (Now, that's all right. I believe in that in its place. I believe in the whole Bible.), not some miracle of healing (I believe in that, every bit of it.), but what the world is looking for is to see some real Christianity, some real life that you live. Out on the street, wherever you are, sealed with the power of God, with the glory of God, not running down the street hollering, "Hallelujah, hallelujah." That isn't it. But a sweet, humble Christian walk before men, living the life, acting like a Christian, being like a Christian, behaving yourself like a Christian, that's what the world's wanting to see.

L-56 And people will go down the street and say, "If there ever was a Christian, a sainted person, there she goes, or there he goes." But you see what we've done. You know that's true, friend.
When the Church gets back to living what we're professing to be, then it... Jesus said, "Ye are the salt of the earth." But if the earth has lost its--if the salt has lost its savour, it's not good for anything but to be put under the feet of man, made roads out of.
Now, let me ask you something. Listen to this. A salt is a savour if it contacts. If you've got a barrel of meat here and a barrel of salt here, the salt--the meat will spoil unless the meat and salt get together.

L-57 And when you... If you're the salt of the earth, then you've got to live such a life, a written epistle, till all men will know what you are. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Will profess to be...
You know they say this, "Your life speaks so loud, I can't hear your testimony." That's right.
Some time ago... A little story I want to tell you just before closing of this--of this door that I'm speaking of, and think of the importance of Jesus at the door trying to get in to create a brotherly love.
You let this audience tonight, right what's in this building, just a few hundred people setting here, let them become one accord, let all their traditions, and all their every different denominational barriers and everything... Let the women straighten up. Let the men straighten up. Let the preacher straighten up. Let's all come together in a real, big bundle of godly love, I'll show you that Greenville will know there's been a convention here. That's right.
