<TITLE>04. Par 13-15</TITLE>L-13 And I looked at him, and I called him by name. I'm afraid to say it, 'cause many of you know him. And I said, "Doctor, I'm surprised that a man of your caliber, a servant of Christ, would ask another servant of Christ to compromise on the Word of God." That's right. I said, "I'm surprised at you saying that."
He said, "Well, we think that you're wrong in your conception."
I said, "Then correct me by the Scripture." That's the way it is. I said, "Then correct me." See? And I said, "I would not compromise on the Word of God." No, sir. I said, "I--I..."
And I said, "And besides..."
He said, "Well, what do you do--do with, Brother Branham? You hang around a bunch of people that's just a little groups here and there."
I said, "Listen. God, when Jesus came, He never hit the nerve centers. He came to the elected. My ministry is to the elected." I said, "What I do, I am led to do. And I don't care about nerve centers. I go where the Lord leads me."

L-14 What if I had great big programs and had to have so many thousand dollars every day? What would I do? I wouldn't have that worry. I'm glad the Lord... He knowed not to put that on me. I ain't go enough mental powers to take care of that.
I said, "I--I--I wouldn't have these programs. I don't have to have nothing." See? Just all I need's His grace. That's all. That's right. That's all I need.
I was standing not long ago, and watching a great, beautiful building that had been built. And I stood there and my heart just wept. And I thought, "Oh, my Lord..." And I went over there, and I looked; I seen something that some brothers had done. And I looked down there and seen these great things. And I stood out there and... Truly I'll confess it. Wonderful people, yes, sir, real servants of Christ... And I thought, "My, isn't it wonderful Lord, but what's the matter with me?" See? And I said, "Maybe I can't be trusted."
Just then I heard a Voice said, "But I am your Portion."
I said, "Thank You, Lord, I'll just take that part."
"I am your Portion." I just like... He want... He is my Portion; that's what I want: Him to be my Portion.

L-15 I believe the Lord is coming soon. I preach that. I live that. I want to believe that and stay with that. That's right. And if you preach and say, "The Lord's coming soon," and--and doing things, looks like it's going to be a million years yet 'fore He comes, well, your own works condemns your testimony. See? That--that... If He's coming soon, let's make ready. Let's...
How much different that Pentecost is today than what it used to be.
I was standing with the Full Gospel Christian Business Men. Wonderful group. That's the only organization that I belong too. And it's not an organization; it's an organism. And the reason I do that, I have the business men out of every group to come out and--and then it kind of embarrasses their pastor. 'Cause they'll cooperate, and so then it brings the whole church out, and I get to work for all of them. I--I stand in between the breach and say, "We are brothers. We are brothers. We're not to have differences and lines. We're to be brothers, all of us together."
