<TITLE>05. Par 15-18</TITLE>L-15 Someone said to me, not long ago, said, "Brother Branham," said, "you never stay with your text. You ought to stay on the highway."
I said, "Everybody I preach to don't live on the highway. I have to go down the lane sometime to pick up one down here somewhere. So I have to get off on somewhere else. Just where He leads me."
That's about the way it goes, isn't it, brethren? We have to get off the highway somewhere, and go down this way, and pick one here, and over here. You don't know your saying it, but you just follow the way He says it. It's speak--speaking to somebody up there, down here, over there, somewhere. It's for them. If you just follow His leading.

L-16 Now so, and finally we find when Abraham come to total obedience, and come to the place that he was... everything out of the way. His father died; Lot separated himself from Abraham, then God told Abraham, "Rise and walk through the land. It's all yours." Oh, I--I love that. Every time I think of that, I get a religious feeling just as soon as I do that. See? "Rise and walk through the land, because you possess it all."
That's the way we do in this Bible. As soon as we become Christians and filled with the Holy Spirit, we're seeds of Abraham, and heirs of every promise. So just walk through the land; every bit of it's yours. See what you got. See if the Holy Ghost is the same today as it was yesterday. See if everything that God promised isn't just the same. See? It's yours.

L-17 When Christ died, you know what He did? He gave you a checkbook when you become His child. And at the bottom of every check it's got Jesus' Name. Now, the only thing you have to do is co-sign this check with Him. Sure you're not afraid He won't keep His--He won't keep His Word, the bank of heaven won't honor it. "Ask the Father anything in My Name, I'll do it." Oh, my, what a promise. Are you--could you put your name on the check with Him, tonight. "By His stripes, I was healed. I, William Branham, was healed, nineteen hundred years ago, by His stripes." He's got His Name signed in His own Blood at the bottom of it. The Father will recognize that. You just try it once. Don't try it, just do it. Anybody can try it. It takes somebody who knows what they're doing to do it. That's right. It ain't a try. We don't go at trying. If you got faith, you don't try; you go do it, because you know you can.

L-18 So when Abraham obeyed, and he got the blessing, God said, "Now, you've done just what I told you. Walk through the land, every bit of it belongs to you."
And then we found, later on, last night in our course of study of Abraham, as we bring him up to where he called Jehovah-jireh, we find out, in here, that Abraham come to another place that God was going to confirm this covenant.
Now, if you notice, I want to stop just for a background on where I'm going on, God always gives signs and wonders of a comprom--confirmation of His promises.
Now, how many in here has received the Holy Ghost? Raise up you hand, are borned again Christians? That's a compromise--confirmation that He's still God. Is that right? That's the confirmiser, He'd still a Healer. How could a man ever preach Divine healing without preaching--preach Divine grace, without preaching Divine healing, I don't know.
