<TITLE>02. Par -</TITLE>L-468-6 And then, you could bring the--even the subject through. But if it didn't coincide with the rest of It in there, the rest of the Scripture, then it would be wrong anyhow. If you brought it anywhere, it's got to--it's got to fit with all the rest of the Scriptures. You see? And all Scripture will fit together if It's rightly put together, if... It's just like a big jigsaw puzzle. And I don't mean... If I'm saying wrong, then God forgive me.
The Scripture is something liken unto a jigsaw puzzle. See? That... It's all broke up and just mixed up in a box, and it takes the Holy Spirit to place that together. See? And--and we cannot do it. Now, there's no 969 different interpretations to It, because the Bible said the Scripture is of no private interpretation. It's just the way It's written. We just believe It to... (Thank you, Brother Pat.) We... It's just the way it's--it's written in the Bible; that's the way that we have to take It, like that. So if we try to make It say something here, well, It won't say the same thing over here then. See, if we--if we put... You've got to make the Scripture answer Itself here, answer Itself here, answer Itself here, just each one go right into Its place to make It all fit together.

L-468-7 And now, I thought maybe... I was going to speak and said that I would tonight, "We Have Seen His Star In the East and Have Come to Worship Him"; but I just don't have enough voice, and then to do that. I'd gotten hot here one night and went out. And I was so hot when I got in the car, I just smoked it right up. I run the window down and went home. Well, the--I think that was a Thursday or Friday night. The very next night, I started getting--day--I started getting a little hoarse, kind of a... Oh, it's... I don't--not sick, no fever, no sickness, no cold; but it's just like a--like a laryngitis in your throat just from speaking and--and injuring by preaching hard, and then--and then it got cold. But it'll--it'll be all right in another day or two, maybe by Sunday. I might come down to help Brother again. After he gets through with his preaching, I'll search around and see what else is left.

L-469-8 And then--and then I want all the church to receive the Holy Ghost. Now, my daughter-in-law's setting here. Not because she's my daughter-in-law, not 'cause she's here, she's one of the finest girls that I know of; she's a dandy girl, Loyce. And she's come up out of great things from her background, where she had to come out of a family who didn't worship God and so forth. I feel sorry for the child, have to come up like that. And now, she's seeking the Holy Ghost, and has fasted till she can't hardly stand up, fasting and praying for the Holy Ghost.
My sister, Delores, she said, "Bill, I just... When the church was--power was in the church," she said, "I just felt like I could fly away. Then when everybody--the Holy Ghost begin to fall on people," said, "I just set there and looked around." See? Well, see, and that question's in here tonight on that. So I thought maybe that might help the church to--to receive. And now, I don't want to take a Wednesday night prayer meeting and break it up into something like that, but I--I want to be sure that the church thoroughly understands these things (You see?), before...

L-469-10 And I was just talking to a doctor here Sunday, came back in the back of the church here in a--back here in the--in the back of the church. He was a medical doctor. He'd drove all the way from (Where is the Assembly of God headquarters at now? In...) Springfield, Missouri, to attend the meeting. And he said, "Brother Branham..." (Now, that's from the Assemblies headquarters.) And he said, "All my life I've wondered about that." Said, "It's the first time I was ever settled on it in my life." He said... Met me back there in the room, setting, a medical doctor.
