<TITLE>14. Par 47-50</TITLE>L-47 Mean they don't understand it; you think the people are crazy till they get into it one time. Did you ever see a fellow drunk on opium? Why, he can get a hold opium, smoke a opium pipe, I don't care how sick he is, or what about it, all the whole world's just his, that's all. Now, that's of the world, the doctor's opium, but God has an opium. Where do you get opium? From the lily. He was the Lily of the valley, and at Calvary they crushed the opium out of Him. Now, you get a inoculation to every nation...?... Oh, these are not drunk on new wine; they're not drunk on strong drinks, but they're drunk upon this new wine, the power of God, the Holy Spirit pouring out upon them from on high. There's a way.
You said, "But, Brother Branham, that was for them people back there."
Oh, no, no, no, no. The people there said, "Men and brethren, how do we get inoculated?"
Now, they had a doctor in the bunch. Did you know that? Doctor Simon Peter. Yes, sir, "Oh," he said, "there's plenty of balm here. I'm the physician right now, give me your prescription."
"What must we do to be saved?"
He said, "Repent every one of you, be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, for the promise (the prescription) is good for you, and for your children, and for them that's far off. Even as many as the Lord our God shall call to be inoculated."

L-48 I tried His prescription. You can try His prescription. Repent and be baptized. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and see if the Holy Ghost don't come into you. How long will this prescription? Don't you never go to writing out any man's theory. If you do, you're going to get in trouble. You'll still be in sin, but you take His theory, His prescription, the promise.
Now, they say, "Oh, that old prescription was for a long time ago."
Oh, no. Doctor Simon Peter, Jesus' physician that He sent. He said, "I give you the keys to the kingdom. I'll give you the--I'll give you the bowl to stir it up in, and you just mix a little repentance, and water baptism, and all these things together, and mix it all up together, find out, take a big dose of it and find out what comes out."

L-49 Oh, my, the first thing you know, you talk about new wine, you drink that, something will happen to you. Oh, they were... They went forth everywhere preaching, the Lord working with them, confirming the Words with signs following. Oh, how glorious it is to know. God's going to ask on the day of the judgment, "Why, didn't you take the prescription? It's wrote here in the Bible, here is a reason, here's the Holy Ghost."
He isn't going say, "Well, Lord, I thought it was..."
"My physician told you that it was for you and for your children, and for them that was far off, even as many as got sick." Even as many as got sick, the healing balm is for them. There is a Balm in Gilead for the sin sick soul.

L-50 Listen friends, we're scattered about. You'll join the Assemblies, then you'll join the Oneness, and then you'll join the Church of God. Then you'll go to the Independents, then to the Methodist, back to the Baptist, back again around, around, and around packing your letter. Forget it. The thing you need is inoculation. Now, it don't make no difference what church you're in, you're inoculated. You're borned into the church of the living God.
The Pentecostal has a lot scavengers. That's exactly right. They all do. Jesus had one out of twelve. So we won't do as good as He did, I'm sure. We... Sure we got impersonators, actors trying to act like something they haven't got. But just the same, there's some that's got it. That's right. Do you see a counterfeit dollar? It shows it was made off of the real one.
