<TITLE>18. Par -</TITLE>L-537-163 See, that's a regular saints' meeting. I think that's what it was in the Bible, 'cause Paul said, "If one prophesies and something being prophesied, something be--and something be revealed to one set; let him hold his peace until this one speaks first, then he may speak. And you all may prophesy one by one." Now, that couldn't be in a regular meeting, you know that, each one couldn't... the gifts...
Now, to be sure that it's of God (See?), 'cause if it's just foolishness it ain't of God. If it doesn't come to pass, it's not of God. See? It's got to come to pass. And--and therefore in our churches (You see?), brother, we got a solid church then (See?), where nobody can say that anything is ever said or done...

L-537-165 Look what it puts me before, when I'm up there before the public. Look at that. What about one error on that? See? Because I trust Him. See? I trust Him. Someone say, "You afraid of a mistake, Brother Branham." No, no, huh-uh, ain't afraid of a mistake. I believe Him. He is my Protection. I'm ordained to do this, so I'll stay right there.
If God's ordained you to do something, then He's your Protection. See, He will protect you. If He's sent you, He'll back up your word. You're an ambassador then. You're ambassador with the gift of tongues; you're ambassador with the gift of interpretation; you're ambassador with the gift of discernment, the three of you. See what I mean? Then what have you got? You got a solid church. You wouldn't fear standing yet no more than yesterday.

L-538-167 Here I was in a meeting down here. A little old English boy from England had come ever here, was trying to commit suicide. Brother Banks come up there and said, "He'd been down there four or five days." I had a lot of things to do, but he said, "The boy's going to commit suicide." The Waterview Hotel down there was telling me about the condition of that lad.
And I went into the room to pray for him. I come back out, and I said, "Now, Brother Banks, I've never seen the man or know nothing about him, but I'm going to tell you what's wrong with him 'fore I get there." Is that right, Brother Banks? And when we got there, the Holy Spirit come right down and told him what done it, and an about him, and where he'd been, and all about his life. He just dropped over, nearly.

L-538-169 "Are you afraid of a mistake, Brother Branham, you tell a man something like that?" How about on the platform, tell a man he's living untrue to his wife, got a baby by another woman? He'll throw you in the penitentiary. You better be right. See? See? Don't be afraid, if it's God. But if you're not afraid... If--if you don't know it's God, then keep still till you know it's God. Is that right? Be sure you're right and then go ahead.
Now, this is hard teaching, brother, but you're my brothers. You're--you're--you're young ministers that's coming on, and I'm an old man, going to leave one of these days. See? And so you be sure it's--it's right.

L-538-171 Coming out of the room of the... Maybe I'll catch this a little later up here. A boy... Well, I'll say part of it now. Yesterday, Brother Banks and I, real busy, been (oh, my) as hard as I could, and I--I wouldn't tell you what I was going to do on this meeting. Leo and Gene and a bunch of us was going to go over there, and brethren, and say we was going pig hunting, hog hunting. They got the five days of javelina hog hunting in Arizona, after the meeting's over. Our meeting closes; we go to Phoenix for one day, and got to wait five days before we have another, four days 'fore they have another meeting of anywhere. We got to be right there at Arizona. Well, it happens to be at just that time javelina hog season's open.
So I wanted to go shoot my little rifle in, to see if it was in all right. Banks was going with me. We started out the gate, started out the gate. Here come a man walking right in over top of that sign (See?), said, "Please don't ask for Brother Branham."
