<TITLE>12. Par 42-44</TITLE>L-42 Let us pray. Lord Jesus, just one Word from You will mean more than all the preachers in the world could speak. Just one Word, Lord. "Speak, don't cry, speak, go forward." I can see You one day coming down off the mountain. You were hungry. You looked upon a tree. You was expecting to find some figs there, and there was no figs. And You looked at that tree and said, "You'll never bear no more figs." And He walked away.
And the next day about noon when they passed by, the tree had begin to wither. And one of the apostles by the name of Peter, said, "Behold the tree, how quick it withers since Thou did curse it."
He said, "Verily, I say unto you, if you... If you shall say to this mountain, 'Be thou plucked up and cast into the sea,' and don't doubt in your heart, but believe that what you have said will come to pass, you can have what you've said." O God, what a promise. Who did it come from? The Creator of heavens and earth. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. We thank You, Lord, for this promise. He that believeth on Me, the works that I do, shall he also.

L-43 Now, Father, in the--to follow this message, if You'll just speak tonight something in the line of supernatural, that perhaps maybe someone here that never did have an idea that You still lived in that manner, that they'd believed maybe that You resurrected, and is somewhere in a far off land that's called heaven, that You live there, and commissioned it all over for us to have our creeds and so forth. How foolish it is for a person to accept that, only because they have not been taught the Bible. You said, "I will be with you to the end of the world. I'll be in you, and the very works that I do shall you do also. It's not Me that doeth the works, but the Father that dwells in Me." You said to the disciples, "Take no thought what you shall say; it's not you that speaks; It's the Spirit within you that does the speaking."
Oh, how we thank Thee, most holy God, for these promises. I'm so happy to know it. My heart is thrilled to know that right here, me already fifty years old, and living here in the shadows of time, at the evening time of my life; and seeing the evening time of the world's history, near the coming of the Lord Jesus, and to know this great truth rests within my bosom, it burns like fire; it's joy unspeakable and full of glory. There's a zeal there that calls out to scream to the world, "Oh, receive Him, ere it's too late." Grant, Lord, that tonight that the perfect example that Christ gave us will return to us tonight in the power of His resurrection. Grant it, Lord. For the glory of God, we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-44 I love Him, I love Him
Because He first loved me
And purchased my salvation
On Calvary's tree.
I... (Now, get in the spirit of worship.) I love Him
Because He first loved me
And purchased my salvation
On Calvary's tree.
[Brother Branham begins humming, "I Love Him."--Ed.]
Lord, O Lord, come now. We believe You, and we are asking You to anoint us. Anoint Your servant, Lord. Take my eyes, and my lips, my--my mind, my--my intellects, use it to Your glory. Speak to Your servant, Lord. Hear through the ears of the congregation; give glory--get glory to Thy Name, Lord. May there not be a feeble person in our midst when this service is over. And I have spoken, Lord, to the people. Now, You speak, and we'll go forward to believe You, that You're here with us. "Fear not, little flock, It's your Father's good will to give you the Kingdom." We believe that, Father. Now, take this service, Lord. This is as far as I can go. It'll take You from here on, Lord. In the Name of Jesus Christ, help me. Amen.
