<TITLE>09. Par 37-41</TITLE>L-37 Uncertainty, the church giving uncertain sounds. The Baptists had a slogan not long ago, "A million more in '44." What did we get? You got a million more joiners, certainly.
If all the people, that's in this United States that profess to be Christians in some category, Catholic or Protestant, of the churches. If every one of those people were borned-again Christians, I'm telling you, this country would be so dry, a bootlegger would have to prime himself to get enough moisture about him to spit. That's right.

L-38 It would be, oh, it would different. But today they sell those people whiskey and then arrest them for drinking it. Oh, God have mercy. Politics, church, and everything certainly is uncertain sound: uncertainty.
"Come and join. Come and put your name on." That's not the idea. Come and be borned. Come and die. Come and rot to yourself and your own thoughts and let Christ come in, and become a new creature. That's the idea.
Uncertainty in national, uncertainty in jobs, uncertainty in home, uncertainty sounds in politics, uncertain sounds in churches... Well, even life itself is uncertain. We don't know when we're going. But there's one thing sure, we know we have to go.

L-39 As the old slogan is, "There's two things that's sure. That's taxes and death." And you're going to meet both of them, so, why not prepare for it? That's right.
Uncertainty of life, uncertainty of church, so much uncertain... Then you say, "Brother Branham, you're sure taking us out on a limb. Is there anything that is certain?" I could stand here and read off a list of things here that is uncertain.
Nation's uncertain. Uncertain sound, who knows what to do? Jobs, politics is uncertain; church is uncertain; home life is uncertain. What is certain? Is there anything that's certain? Yes, there's one thing I'll guarantee you is certain. That's the Word of God. That's right.

L-40 In Matthew the 24th chapter and the 35th verse Jesus said, "Heavens and earth will pass away, but My Word shall never fail." Just as certain as God says anything, it's just that certain it's going to come to pass.
Before there was a world, before there was four thousand years, before Christ was ever born, the Bible said He was the Lamb of God, slain since the foundation of the world. For when God's program was drawed out, and He knowed what was going to happen, in His great mind He knew that He'd have to slay His own Son to save the world. And it was settled as soon as God spoke it. Amen.
When God says anything, it's just as eternal as He is. It cannot fail, God's Word. Jesus said, "Both heavens and earth will pass away but My Word shall never fail." Oh, certainly It is certain. There's no uncertainty about It.

L-41 It might make you act strange when you receive It; you might not act like you used to. And that's one thing is certain too. Paul said, "The life that I now live..." He must've lived a different kind of life once, and yet he was raised up religious. But he had a new kind of life. "Not me, but Christ liveth in me." See, he had passed from one life into another.
And just as certain as you receive the Word of God into your heart, then you'll have Eternal Life and you'll act strange, look strange, and be different than what you were.
Let's just go back for a few moments now, about ten minutes, and check some of them that has--men in past times, who has rested solely upon the certainty of God's Word sounding.
