<TITLE>23. Par 92-96</TITLE>L-92 He didn't say, "I'll go down and see what I can do about Lazarus. I'll go down and find out what I can do. I'll go down and try and see if I can raise him up." "He shall rise again." That's certain, positive.
Well, you say now, "You're talking about Jesus. You was talking about Abraham. What about you?" Yep. We got certainty too. "Yet a little while and the world seeth Me no more, but you'll see Me, for I will be with you." That's a certainty, a certainty: "I will."
"Maybe I will..., perhaps I will...?" No, "I will." That's certain. "I will be with you, even in you." You can call fanaticism if you want to, but it's a sure sound to me that I'm saved. Amen. "I will be with you, even in you to the end of the world." That's a certain that you'll know.
How do you know that you're certain? All right, "the works that I do shall you do also." That's a sign. I'll give you a sign to prove--to prove that I am with you. It won't be no uncertain... You say, "Well, my, how will I know I'm emotional or not, whether I'm just worked up or not?"
"These signs shall follow them that believe." No uncertainty.

L-93 "How do we know whether we're Christian or not? Now, we go into all the world and preach the Gospel, and are baptized, and so forth, how do we know that we're--we're Christian?"
"These signs shall follow them... I'll give you a certainty, a certain sound, a certain sign."

L-94 Well, here's what it'll be: the preacher says, "Come, join our church, and recite our creed, or be baptized, or sprinkled, or poured, or, oh, whatevermore (See?), and that--that's it." Jesus never said nothing about that. That's uncertain sound.
You say, "Well, my mother belonged to this church." That's very fine. "Well, I--I tell you, I walked up and was confirmed." That--that--that's all right too, but that--that--that's not--that's still uncertain. See?
Jesus said, "I'm going to give you a certain sign. These signs..." Mark 16, the last words He said to His church, "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature." How far? All the world. How many? Every creature. It ain't nothing like reached in millions and billions and billions untouched yet. See? Now, He--He said...
"Well now," they say, "it ended with the disciples." No, no. Here's certain sound: "All the world and every creature." That's certain. When the Gospel's preached, "these signs shall (not maybe they will, they ought to... They will!). That's certain. Oh, brother, I'm glad to be Pentecostal in heart. Yes, sir.

L-95 "Oh, these signs shall..." It's certain. "These signs certainly will follow those that believe: In My Name they shall cast out devils, speak with new tongues, if they should take up serpent or drink deadly thing it wouldn't harm them. They lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover." Certain sign.
"As it was in the days of Noah..."
"How do you know we're at the end time? What will it be at the end time, Lord? Well, how we know we're at the end time?"
"As it was in the days of Lot, so shall it be. So shall... ", not maybe it will, or ought to be at that time, no, it will be, the same Spirit, dwelling in human flesh, discerning the thoughts of the heart, told who was behind Him. You know what I--what I mean. We're at the end time. "It shall be as it was in the day's of Lot." Somebody's got to rise up; something's got to do it.

L-96 But it also said in the end time what--how the church is going to be lukewarm, fall away. It will be; no need of trying to stop it, it will be. But there's some in there, he stood... The only church age of the seven church ages, the Laodicean is where Jesus was found outside His church, knocking on the door, trying to get back in. That's right, the only church age... Yes, sir. And the Laodicean Pentecostal church age, so called, they've made so many creeds and denominations till you set Jesus on the outside, and He was standing at the door knocking. [Brother Branham knocks repeatedly--Ed.] "All that I love, I rebuke and chasten."
