<TITLE>22. Par 144-149</TITLE>L-144 How did I know there was a living God? Not under somebody's theology, some intellectual conception of some emotional period that passed through an age gone by, as infidels would tell us, but one day down yonder I found Him and talked to Him face to face. That made things different. Exactly right.
Spiritualism works through Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. I stood in a meeting where those witches was a-working. Don't you think they won't challenge you. They stood there; they throwed a table up in the air, and throwed it around, and a guitar playing. Standing there, and they wanted to put me out, and I said, "You're wrong." The spirit spoke back to them, spirit professing to be God, said it was God. I said, "It's wrong; it's the devil."
They said, "This man is an unbeliever."
I said, "I'm an unbeliever of this stuff, 'cause it's not of my Lord. This is witchcraft. This is of the devil." I said, "Now here, I'll try that powerful name that I've been baptized in." I said, "In the name of high heavens tell me the truth"; wouldn't even answer me. I said, "In the name of the holy church tell me the truth"; he wouldn't answer me. I said, "In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost tell me the truth"; and he wouldn't answer me. But I said, "In the Name of Jesus Christ tell me the truth."
He said, "Yes, it's wrong." God knows that's the truth. Yes, sir.
Oh, faith in the Father,
Faith in the Son,
Faith in the Holy Ghost,
These three are One.
Devils will tremble,
Sinners awake,
Faith in the Lord Jesus
Makes anything shake.
Yes, sir. Stay by that Name.
"You have a name that you're alive, but you're dead." There's your church. There it is.

L-149 Listen, there's one woman setting... There's fine, nice looking, beautiful women setting in this church this morning, young women, middle-aged women, old women; they're all fine; they're somebody's wife, somebody's daughter, somebody's sweetheart, so forth. They're every one... There's one Mrs. Branham setting here. You're every one women, but there's one Mrs. William Branham. She's the one goes home with me. She's the one's my sweetheart. She's the one that raising my children.
There's many fine churches in the world today, but there's one Mrs. Jesus that's bringing forth the real true borned again creatures of God. You know what I mean, don't you? Her name's not Methodist; Her name's not Baptist; Her name's Jesus: Mrs. Jesus. Sure She is. She's bringing forth people, not members of the Methodist church; she's not bringing forth Baptist church, or Presbyterian, or Catholic. She's bringing forth them borned and rooted and grounded in Christ Jesus. There She is; that's Her. I'm so glad that I'm with Her. She's a mystical Church. She don't have any denomination. She carries none of these great big fancy names and big buildings. She meets wherever there's members of the body gathers together. They worship in Spirit and in Truth. They were predestinated before the foundation of the world.
