<TITLE>28. Par -</TITLE>L-507-Q-106 106. Explain Hebrews 4 and 6 (Right quick now, we get this just real quick.) and compare it to Hebrews 10:26. (Hebrews 6 and 4--I beg your pardon.) 6:4, and 10:26. Let's see, 10:26; all right, I got them right here. See?
For it is impossible for those that were once enlightened, and have tasted... the heavenly gifts, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
And having tasted the good word of God, and the power of the world to come, If they shall fall... to renew themselves again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh,... put him to an open shame.
That goes right ahead and tell what it... Now, look. I had that the other night. How many was here when I explained that? All right, you know what it is then. See, it's them borderline believers.

L-508-175 How many read back in Deuteronomy 1 there, where the spies went right in there and tasted of the things from Canaan, which Canaan is not a type of the millennium. How many knows that? You mean, just one hand? Junie. That's right. Canaan is not the type of the millennium, because they had wars, fightings, killings, and everything else in Canaan. Typed the Holy--Canaan is a type of the Holy Ghost. Egypt is the world that they come out of. The wilderness is where they were sanctified, called out Church. Canaan is where they settled down with the Holy Spirit (See, see?), 'cause they still had wars. And if you don't believe you have wars, just get the Holy Spirit once.

L-508-176 What are you doing? What do they do in Canaan? They were possessing their rights. Glory. They were possessing their rights. And they could not possess their rights till they got into Canaan. They didn't own nothing in the wilderness. Then, when they come into Canaan, then they had rights. And we've got rights. When you receive the Holy Ghost, you're in Canaan. You have to fight for it; every inch of ground you have to fight for it. Yes, sir. That's the reason people say, "Brother Branham, you pray for me today, I..." See? Get over into Canaan once, brother, and you realize where you belong. Watch prayer start things yonder now. Yes, sir.
He said, "Looky here, Satan. This is mine. I'm possessor of this. God said so. Move out. (That's right, that's right.) Move off my ground."
"Your ground?" Satan says.
"I've got an abstract deed to it. Move out. You know. I'll serve notice on you by the Holy Spirit's guidance." He moves out. Sure, he has to.

L-509-177 Now, now, they that's tasted the heavenly gifts... Now, watch over here... if we sin wilfully... (10th, this is 26th of the 10th chapter.)
... if we sin wilfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins.
Now, one of them is where you just tasted of it, and the next is where you have received and got the knowledge of it. Then if you sin--what? Disbelieve... Now, watch how they both read. See? "If you disbelieve wilfully after you receive the knowledge of the truth..." Now, let... Just a minute, let me get it here.
If we shall fall away, to renew ourselves... it is impossible for those which were once enlightened, and have tasted of the good heavenly gifts,... (Tasted of them. See?)... and were made partakers... (See?)... of the Holy Spirit. And have tasted of the good word of God, and... powers of the world to come.
And he goes on down here and says that if you set right in like the briers, as the rain cometh oft upon the earth; if you set in like the briers, the Holy Spirit fell, and, oh, my, you enjoyed It as much as the rest of them; but as far as putting your hand to It or going on out and working for the Lord, and doing something about it, no, no, you can't do that. See? Then that shows the Spirit of God's not in you. See? Then you just finally wind yourself out. "Whose end is to be burned."
