<TITLE>20. Par 73-77</TITLE>L-73 And then the next morning, the enemy looked up. And he looked across there, and when he did, it was water. But to the enemy, the way the sun was shining on it, it looked like blood. And it scared him. That's right. And it got some little silly thought worked up in his mind and trapped him right into it.
What did the prophet say to them? Said, "Why, this is a little thing to the Lord. If you all just get all the logs out of the way, I'll take care of the rest of it. If you'll get--if you get all the unbelief out of the way, God will take care of the rest of it."

L-74 You know what happened? He said, "Each man pick you up a rock. And I'm going to give you the land. I'm going to let you possess it." And each man took a rock and when he got over there where them old formal wells was, he had a good rock testimony. Amen.
"Praise God. God give me the Holy Ghost. I'm--I'm like Simon. I'm Peter now, a little stone." Amen.
And everybody get his own rock in his hand, a real testimony of a real fiery testimony... When Jesus come before Peter, said, "Your name is Simon. And from henceforth, you shall be called Peter, which is little stone." Brother, he picked that up. He knowed that was the Messiah. Away he went and he stopped up formal wells with it.

L-75 And what we need tonight, is get that same kind of a testimony, that.. Oh, that Jesus Christ lives and He... It'll stop up all these old formal testimonies, saying, "The days of miracles is past. There is no such a thing." Them old broken cisterns, anyhow, wiggletails in them, it'll stop them up.
You throw that rock of testimony out there. "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever." Get in the Spirit; you've got to get in the Spirit. If you go to a dance and start dancing, and they start clapping their hands, doing all that dancing, you stand over there and say... [Brother Branham illustrates--Ed.] All your... Wouldn't you be a dancer? Sure. Yeah. You're sure in the spirit of it. No, they whoop it up and dance and scream and holler.

L-76 That's the way you get a revival. It's when you really get in the Spirit of revival, not whooping it up or something, but by praying it down, until there's a revival strikes your heart, until all the logs of ecclesiasticalism, and all the logs of fanaticism, and all the logs of systems, and all the logs of unbelief flows out, and then the waters of God comes falling down upon you. There you are.
Then your testimony, then you won't be smoking cigarettes behind the house, and out here tonight, jumping around the church, and saying you got the Holy Ghost. You're a sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal. People know that.
When you get out here with all this kind of living, the women bobbing off their hair, and painting their lips, and saying, "I'm Pentecostal." Oh, you poor miserable...?...

L-77 Some of you preachers with deacons in your church, with four or five different wives and things like that, say, "I'm Pentecostal." Oh. The world's got better sense than that. They're smarter than that. Yes, sir. Oh, my.
Get out here and bet on horse races and everything else. And then call yourself... And a lot of you would stay home and listen to a television before go to a prayer meeting. And say, "I'm Pentecostal." Ho, ho. You're just named Pentecostal. You haven't got the experience of Pentecost. The Church is the first thing in your heart, brother. That's all in all, is God, God. It's all you can see and know about, is God.
That's the group that's so called Pentecostal and said, "Aw, now that stuff's nonsense. Don't you believe that." See? But the vision of the Lord comes by the Word of the Lord. Dig all that out. Dig all that unbelief out so the waters of Life can flow in freely, and will stop all this here saying, "The days of miracles is past." Let the Church really get back.
