<TITLE>29. Par 197-201</TITLE>L-197 Now, there's a wide open challenge to you members of this tabernacle. There's a wide open challenge. Now, if you find one thing that you think it's wrong, as I said this morning, one thing that's contrary to this Scripture, you're duty-bound to lay that on this pulpit this evening. That's right. You bring it and lay it here. Show me the Scripture, the verse in the Bible where that there was a denomination, that Jesus made a denomination, or any of these things that I've taught, where He ever ordained and put a woman in the church as a preacher, where He ever ordained sprinkling, pouring, or--or anything of that type that I've been talking on. Put it here. Then tonight we're going in, if the Lord willing, to the Baptism of the Holy Ghost and into the seed of the serpent and of the woman. All right. The Lord bless you. How many feels good?
Oh, I feel like traveling on,
Oh, I feel like traveling on; (Now, sing that real sweetly to the Lord.)
My heavenly home is bright and fair,
And I feel like traveling on.
Oh, I feel like traveling (Traveling on),
Oh, I feel like traveling (Traveling on);
My heavenly home is bright and fair,
And I feel like traveling on.

L-198 Now, there's been one thing since I've been on this rest period for these few weeks. I found out that's been a trouble with me, and I want to confess it now to my church. I set back behind those oak and hickory trees down yonder studying, "Where did I make my first mistake? What made me go wrong? What was it?" You know what I found out what makes me wrong? There's such a thing as going overboard with something. Did you know that? You can try to be all right and try to be good, and then you can be too good. And I've just let people push me around. See? They'll say, "Well, Brother Branham, you come over here. The Lord told me to tell you this."
"Well, all right, brother, here I come."
"Oh, Brother Branham, don't you go over there, over here."
"Well, maybe I better not go there." See, and you don't know what to do. That's what makes me nervous. I'm going where the Lord leads me to go, and I don't care what anyone says about it. See? That's exactly right. So I won't hurt feelings. See?

L-200 And then, I noticed another thing, my children up there have become a bunch of neurotics, screaming at night and everything, people piling in and out of the house there all the time, people coming from everywhere. I don't blame people from that, sick people. But we got that all arranged. And here at the church when I come to hold a meeting, why, I almost have to slip out, get out of the church, because people just holding on and this and that. I'm so tired and sometimes come out of my healing service, and I'm not real good to them and say... "Say, Brother Branham, the Lord said here..." "We come over here to go there..." That's no good; I shouldn't do that. We don't have to do that.

L-201 Now, we've made arrangements to take care of that. And now, just remember, anybody that wants... I want to see everybody; and I want to have time and talk with people. This way you can't... You get somebody in there, and the first thing you know all you're time's gone to one and--and you--you don't get to see the other one. And that's not right. People come from a long ways just to have a few words with you. And if God has--has give those people that faith in me to believe that, they deserve a little time to be taught. You shouldn't just turn them away saying, "Oh, I don't see nobody." That ain't right, because I'm afraid to do it 'cause someone comes and say, "Now, the Lord tells me, Brother Branham, that you should do a certain-certain thing; this is it. This is the will of the Lord now." The Lord will tell me His will.
