<TITLE>22. Par 83-86</TITLE>L-83 Did you wonder why when we just bring them through the line and pray for them we give a prayer card? How many would like to know why? Would you? To keep them coming back in line again. They'll go right back. I've seen--I've seen people go--come through the line five times, just keep going round and round and round. And each time you go, it weakens you that much more, that much more, that much more. Just give them a prayer card; therefore, when they come on the platform, they got to hold their prayer card in their hand. Somebody takes the prayer card and just pass them on through the line. See? And that's to keep them from repeating back. It's to the good of the people. See? They...
See, you must remember, that in a man, there is nothing that can help you. How many knows that? Nothing in a man... We've got great men in the land today. We've got Brother Roberts, Brother Tommy Osborn, Brother Freeman, Brother Allen, great men of the Gospel. But yet, there isn't one thing in any of those men can heal you. If anybody says that, he's certainly off the line of the Scripture, for Jesus was wounded for our transgressions; with His stripes, we were healed. How many believe that?

L-84 That's the reason I differed with the brethren not long ago. And you all got it, I hear, in this country went over that dear Brother Branham. That happened not to be the person that said they wrote it; it was somebody else. Looked like that person would've knowed I'd have knowed that. I know who wrote the letter. Knowed it before it was wrote, that it was going to be written. Now, God knows that. I knowed it was going to be written, about the blood in the hand being the evidence of the Holy Ghost.
Taking some woman from India and bring her in... She's a...?... We got one at home. She's Catholic, a prostitute, bar fly; every twenty-eight days, bloody in the hands, bloody in the feet, bloody on the forehead...
This fellow said to me, this great preacher, said, "But Brother Branham, every time the Holy Ghost comes upon the woman, why this happens."
I said, "Yes, every time this woman gets excited, it does it, too."

L-85 If that blood will save people, what happened to the Blood of Jesus? It's taken away; it's the antichrist. There's no such a thing. Don't do no such a thing as that. That's antichrist. And what people believe little sensations, let them go ahead and believe it. But whenever you come, taking away or bringing an antichrist spirit in a Pentecostal church it's my business to stand up against it. That's right. Not against the person, but against the spirit that's bringing it in there. That's right.
Woman like oil running down their back, putting it in a little thing, and sending it to the people to get healed. Why, if the oil will heal the people, what about the Blood of Jesus that's... What happ--that's taken away from Him? How could the filthy blood of a--a twenty-eight day thing with a woman ever save souls, when the precious Blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, virgin born, was shed at Calvary? I just have to stand against that. I... There's just something about it. I just have to do it. See? It's wrong. It's wrong.

L-86 Now, if you want to say, "I've got the Holy Ghost standing on my head," amen, go on. I don't care what you got.
You say, "I got a... I seen a big light." Go ahead and see the big light. Amen. If you live the life, I believe you got it.
You say, "I got it speaking in tongues." Amen. If you live the life, I believe you got it. If you don't live the life, you didn't get it. That's all. See?
You've got to have that Life behind there. "By their fruit, you shall know them." That's right. I believe in speaking in tongues, and believe in shouting, and believe in all the Pentecostal experiences. Yes. But if it hasn't... But if that isn't tied together with love, it'll never work. Love is what puts it over.
