<TITLE>11. Par 38-41</TITLE>L-38 The thing of it was, when those disciples in an hour of distress, what happened? When they seen Him coming, they was a scared of Him. Now, that's exactly what's a matter with the church tonight. You don't know what to say about it. Now, this is a been about eight or ten years across the field and around the world. They're afraid.

L-39 They say, "Could it be? Is it possible? It might be a little funny. I like Brother Branham, but I'll tell you, I don't know. There's some odd ideas he has."
And as long as you think that, you might as well stay in your seat. That's right; that's right. As far as Brother Branham himself, he's nothing. That's exactly right. But I do represent the true Spirit of God, because It comes by the Word and does what the Word says do. If you can't believe me, then you believe the Gospel I preach. Now, you do that.
Jesus said the same thing, "If it does the works of God, then it is of God. 'Cause no man can do the works of God unless God's with him or in him."

L-40 Now, I want you to notice something. They was a scared. They said, "That looks like a spook." They said it was a spirit, sure it was. They thought it was a spirit.
That's what it is tonight; they're afraid It's a wrong spirit. They don't know what about it. Say, "Well, if he belonged to our organization, we'd accept it." Oh, your poor little organization. See? If you don't watch, it'll keep you out of heaven one of these days. You're putting too much dependence in that. Now, remember, stay in it! But be a bright shining light there; live a life that's above reproach. I don't care what organization you belong to, but don't you lean on that too hard. You lean on the cross; lean on Jesus, is what you want to lean on. I don't like this leaning on cross; I want to lean on Jesus.

L-41 Overseas, I don't know how many different people's got sensations, you know, and things they want to do. I believe overseas now, they got nineteen original nails that was in the cross. Everybody wants to wave a nail, "This is it; this is it." Somebody's got a piece of the cross. Here not long ago, a pope stood up and had a piece of wood about like that, waved it out and said, "This is it; this is it."
When I was in Rome, I went down into a church where they take all the monks that die, and bury them there till the meat drops off of them, then take their bones, and make fingers that holds light bulbs and--and all like that, and the bones all around. And the people traveling through there has rubbed them bones till their, some of the skulls is slick. And there was a statue of Saint Peter, so many's kissed his toe and rubbed it till they've had to put two or three feet on that statue. Always touch, rubs.
Oh, goodness, get away from it. God is a Spirit. And they that worship Him must worship Him in the Spirit and in the Truth. "Thy Word is the Truth." The Spirit comes and bears record of the Word. And when It comes, you say, "Oh, it's spooky." Then rub somebody's skull, and then say that looks spooky. See? That's... There you are. See? Go to some holy shrine, or some...
