<TITLE>13. Par 36-38</TITLE>L-36 I heard a Voice, that Light in the bush; He said, "I made you for--that way for a purpose. Now, you know, that that--you can't be satisfied until that rifle, no matter what anyone said, you know it drives the tack (See?) at fifty yards." And then He said, "That's the reason I made you thus, because it don't make any difference what anybody says. See? 'The bay--days of miracles is past. There's no such a thing as the baptism of the Holy Ghost.'"
Listen. There is. Because I know it's so. Those apostles taken that same Holy Spirit; they saw visions; they--they raised the dead; they healed the sick; they done great miracles and signs and wonders. And if we'll just get it zeroed in. You can't say, "Oh, that day... That church says this way. And my church was the oldest, and this was that." That don't make sense to me. If--if they made it drive the tack, it'll drive it again. If they'd brought forth a world shaking revival with the power and the promises of God, we'll do the same thing if we'll accept the promise and expect it to happen. But you've got to believe it. You just can't halfway believe it.
And you know what? When I got up from under that tree after He's talked to me and walked out there and never touched that rifle one time. And here sets the boy that we reload together. That rifle has constantly drove them tacks at fifty yards ever since. That's right. Never touched it... See, He was trying to do something to me to show me how to behave myself. In tight times and things that they say, "Oh, Brother Branham...

L-37 A fellow said to me not long ago, said, "If you'd come over and join our organization we'll do so and so, if you'll just compromise on a few..."
I said, "Compromise? Compromise?" I said, "I'm surprised at a man of God, like you are with a doctors degree, would ask a servant of God to compromise on the Word of God." I said, "That don't dwell in my blood." No, sir. I'll stay right zeroed on It. I believe in the Holy Ghost and the power of the Holy Ghost. I believe that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. And I'm under expectations that He will rise up a church to go meet Him with the same power it had in the beginning. Certainly, if we'll expect it, have faith in God and believe He's going to do it. Expectation.

L-38 Moses, with all of his theology he never got anywhere. He was out there, a coward running behind the mountains, in the desert herding his father-in-law's sheep. But one day he met God, and then he got an experience with God, and he was going down to Egypt to take over Egypt. Now, it might look pretty foolish for an old man with eighty years old and the whiskers hanging way down like this, and probably his bald head shining red in the sun, and the beards all over him, and had crooked stick in his hand, and his wife setting on a mule, and a little...?... kid setting on her hip, going down. Said, "Where you going Moses?"
"I'm going down to Egypt to take over, going to take the nation." You know, when you take God at His promise it makes you act silly to the things of the world. Now, a one man invasion, going down to take a nation as great as Russia is today. Sure, going down... And the thing, he--he took it over, he did it. He killed one man down there and got in trouble. Went back down and killed a whole nation, he was glorified by it. (See?) That's it. He was a murderer for killing one, and--and then a saint for taking the whole bunch. But one time he went down with expectations to know that God stood by His Word. Amen. He was expecting it. "How you going to do it, Moses?"
"I don't know, but I--I know He's going to do it. God said so, that's got it; that's all."
"You going to bring two and a half million people out here in this desert and feed them? How you going to feed them?"
"I don't know. I expect God do something about it." He did. That's all. He was expecting something.
