<TITLE>12. Par 99-106</TITLE>L-99 God's program is the Holy Spirit. It's God's provided way of doing things. Now, notice this. In the days of Noah... God's program is always a persecuted way. That's the reason people don't want it.
In the days of Noah they had religion. They'd had it for two thousand years, like we've had Christianity. And there were critics just like there is now. And in the days of Noah what happened? We find out that Noah stood in that one door of the ark and built an ark which was contrary to any human imagination. It had never rained, never been a cloud in the sky. But God said it was going to rain. That was God's Word. God said, "Prepare an ark." And Noah prepared the ark, and stood in that one door, and preached salvation. And that's the only remedy for salvation.
What a type it is today. There's one Door that leads to God, and that Door is Christ. Christ is the Holy Spirit that lives in us. And we stand in the Door of God's ark, of the Holy Ghost, and preach "This is the way," the same blueprint that the rest of them come over.

L-102 Noah was God's provided way. In the days of deliverance out of Egypt Moses was God's way (See?), a supernatural ministry, a--a way. See, Noah had something that was different. Noah had some religion that was different from all the rest of them; he had the Word of God. And the people wasn't used to the Word of God. They had their creeds; they had what they wanted. So it was--it was the creeds they were listening to and not the Word. But Noah had the Word.
Moses had the Word. No matter what the rest of them had, Moses had THUS SAITH THE LORD. Look. What proved it? He done signs and miracles, and each sign and miracle had a voice. Now, God said, "If they won't hear the voice of the first sign, they will hear the voice of the second sign."

L-104 Now, the people today, like they was in the days of Jesus, they're following the miracle. "Oh, He might do something that's a little different. I wouldn't see that done. Let's see if He can discern this one. Let's see if He can do it." See, that's the way He does. They followed just for the fishes and loaves. But when it comes to repentance, being baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ, and receiving the Holy Ghost, they wouldn't put their finger on it. That's right. And then they condemn you.
And they condemned Jesus; they said--said, "Oh, you preach contrary to these." That didn't stop Him. He moved right on.

L-106 A great minister the other day laid his hands on me, said, "I'm going to pray for you, Brother Branham, that you will never say nothing against the way these people are living in these churches." He said, "Brother Branham, you're going to make them... You're going to make them all angry with you."
I said, "How can I keep from it, when my innermost Spirit and my soul cries out against it?"
He said, "Well, I don't say nothing against it."
I said, "You can't. You got millions of dollars programmed. You got to get their dollars. I don't have to have it." The only thing I need is the power of the resurrection of the Lord. That's all we need, the Spirit. Stand on the truth. I don't care how many denominations goes against it; it's still God's Word. "Heavens and earth will pass away; My Word shall never pass away. Whosoever shall take away or add anything to this Book, the same will be taken out of the Book of Life, for him." I believe it just the way the Map says it. That's it, God's way.
Moses had the signs. He proved that he was God's servant.
