<TITLE>12. Par 42-44</TITLE>L-42 I was in Alsace Lorraine, or...?... no, it was at the Notre Dame in Paris. And there was a woman, some woman died there. And they'd had a--a place there where they were taking, rubbing their hands up-and-down over top of her head there that... She's in a coffin, and they... Some kind of embalmed the lady had been, and they--they was rubbing across there, said it kept plagues off the city. When the blood of a woman, oil from a man's hand, or anything else takes the place of Jesus Christ, the Blood of Jesus Christ, it is a antichrist. And you just remember that; it's antichrist.
Jesus Christ is the only Mediator between God and man. His Blood was shed once for all. He took His own Blood, and entered into the sanctuary of God, and set down at the right hand of God. He's the only Mediator; He's the only Intercessor; He's the only Blood. The only Spirit is the Holy Spirit, and I believe it with all that's in me. That's right. [Brother Branham knocks pulpit--Ed.] Anything substitutionary to that, to me it's wrong. Any kind of a sensation is wrong. It's got to be the Spirit. And the Spirit in you makes you live the life, and perform and do the works of God. If it isn't...

L-43 If you put a pumpkin vine spirit in a grape vine, it would bear pumpkins. Absolutely, 'cause it's the fruit of the vine, kind of life that's in it. You put a peach tree--peach tree and take the life out of a peach tree, and put it in a sycamore tree, it would bear peaches. Yes, sir. Because it's peach tree life in it. You put the Life of Jesus Christ back in the church: You'll stop fussing; you'll be brothers and sisters; you women will let your hair grow out; you'll get away from manicures; you'll turn off these old dirty television programs that oughtn't to be listened to; you'll hurry to get to church every Wednesday night; prayer meetings will just go on all over the city everywhere; and the church will be one in Christ Jesus.
"And the Glory of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with singing and great joy." And there shall be a revival break out across the country that would put every critic to the shame. Powers of God will build into the church, and Jesus will come and manifest Himself in great signs and wonders and gifts. It's just at the last day, waiting for His church to get in condition. Amen. Don't be afraid of it; accept it.

L-44 That was their only means of salvation. The devil would've killed them right there. He would've choked them, if it hadn't have been for that. It looked like a spook to them, looked kind of funny. And tonight, the only hope of the church is to get away from their man-made theologies, and get back to the Holy Spirit, and get the Spirit back in the church, and get the church straightened out. It's the only hope of salvation: is come back to the Holy Ghost again. Amen.
That may be awful strong. My mother use--as I said used to tell me... If anything I hate, it's castor oil. That's the reason I put examinations going overseas just as far as I can, 'cause you have to take it. And it just gags me to death.
But she said, "Anything that don't make you sick don't do you no good." So I guess this kind of helps us, you know. Yes.
