<TITLE>06. Par 18-20</TITLE>L-18 The nations are hungry today for power. I seen some time ago, where a certain gasoline, under a certain condition of a certain stipulate, would lift the Sphinx off the ground two foot. And they were bragging about their gasoline.
I was reading the magazine on the plane, and I threw it back and said, "Yes, but praise God, I know something more powerful than that: that two drops of the Blood of Jesus Christ will lift the sinner that's lost and gone, take a prostitute off the street and make a saint out of her, take a drunkard out of the gutters out yonder and make a saint of God, a preacher of the Gospel. That's what's the power of one drop of the Blood of the Lord Jesus. Amen. That's what the world needs to know--power today.

L-19 God's got a provided way. And when the Gentile or the unclean person desired fellowship with God, the first thing he had to do, was come first to the waters of separation, then be sprinkled.
Now, what did that represent or type? The believer today, the man that wants to believe, comes to the church and listens to the Gospel. Christ died for sinners.
In there, the red, the scarlet, the hyssop then... he applies that with common faith that a--that a two year old child could use. Just believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
There's so much of it today; there's so many of us. If someone says, "What can I do to be saved?"
"Quit your lying, quit your stealing, quit your smoking, quit your drinking..." I believe they should do that too, but that doesn't answer his question. You're telling him what not to do; he wants to know what to do.
Paul said to the Philippian jailer... He never told him to "put up your sword and do all this and the other." He said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house. Believe. Have faith."

L-20 "How can I have that faith, Brother Branham?" It's just as simple as reaching, getting the hyssop to 'ply the blood. Believe it for yourself. Believe that Christ died for you. Believe that He was the innocent One that died in your place as a sinner, and guilty. Same applies by Divine healing: just simple faith to take Him at His Word. Oh, if they try to complicate it... They try to make it so great.
That's why the great revival broke out in England. The Anglican church had it so complicated, only the educated could understand it. And God, when the church gets in that condition, God always sends a revival of simplicity and breaks the thing to pieces. That's right. That's what we need today is the simpleness. That's what the nation needs today, is the simplicity of faith in Christ to surrender themselves unselfishly with their whole heart, soul, and mind, and all they are to the Lord Jesus. Just simple, you don't have to learn nothing at all; just believe that Jesus died to give you the blessing. Then it's yours by faith as soon as you pick up the hyssop faith and apply the blood, something happens in every man's heart or woman that does that.
Amen. I feel religious right now. Yes, sir, because I know that that is the truth. If it saved me, it'll save anybody. The Blood of Jesus Christ...
