<TITLE>04. Par 35-41</TITLE>L-35 Brother Shakarian called me the other day. He said, "Brother Branham, I never had anything so to strike me to hear of that." See, it was just for him to call that vision at that time to stop it, so it wouldn't know who it was, so that it would be something for him to understand. He said, "I believe the ministry is just now beginning to come into effect." May it be so.
And may, right here in Phoenix, something happen that'll inspire everyone, the Holy Spirit come among us and do something that'll just cause us to tighten up the armor and--and get ready for His coming. The Lord bless.

L-37 Now, not to keep you long, 'cause you're standing. But you're such a fine audience, I--I look like I could just talk all night. But I won't, I don't guess; but I guess last night you thought I was trying to.
I'll just give you a little hint. I spoke on a subject the other morning at my Tabernacle, started in at nine-thirty and got through about twelve-thirty; I told them beforehand though; on, "Hearing, Recognizing, and Acting." Maybe some Sunday afternoon, or something we might get on that same subject. For about a year, the Holy Spirit's been dealing with me about speaking it, and finally I spoke it at the church. Forget how many tapes the boys had of it before we left, to take.

L-39 Let us turn now in our Bibles, quickly, to the 7th chapter of St. Matthew, and we--let's begin reading at the 24th verse.
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
And the rains descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon the house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
And the rains descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon the house; and... fell: and great was the fall of it.

L-40 May the Lord add His blessing now to the reading of His Word. I wish to speak for a few moments upon the subject of "The Oncoming Storm." And I trust to God that we will be able to yield ourself to the Holy Spirit. For anyone knows that I'm not a preacher. That's... There's preachers behind me here. I never got the education to be a minister. But in my old slow ways, but I... The Lord gave me something else to do. But I love to take the time so I can explain what I know about the Lord and--and about His goodness, and try to tell others about it. And now we are speaking tonight on "The Coming Storm." And if I fail, in words, to express what I feel in my heart, I pray the Holy Spirit will reveal it.

L-41 Jesus was speaking here of a coming storm which has got to strike every man and every woman that's born in the world. There is just no way out of it. That storm will strike you sometime or other. And depends on what kind of a foundation that you have, whether your house will weather it or not.
There's been many lives saved because of preparation for storms. And there has been a many of life's lost because of failing to take heed to the warning of storms that's coming.
