<TITLE>06. Par 50-57</TITLE>L-50 Then when this come up... Now, we got people out in the audience... There's one right--went right before me up there in Canada even the... Why, the agents picked him up as a homosexual. See? He said, "Why, God give me the gift of discernment." Said, "Hallelujah, I got the... Now, the Lord told me that somebody in here named John."
We had a little woman here one morning, come back there, you remember, come back there and she said, "The Lord give me the same gift."
And I said, "Well..."
She said, "I wish I had a chance to prove it."
I said, "There's the platform."
And you seen what happened: pure mass psychology. See? But when you seen a Sister Snyder coming up, and told her she had arthritis, that--that--that finished it. When Sister Snyder had...
I said, "That isn't what's wrong with the woman." I said, "She fell and broke her hip." And I said, "She's not even standing there..." 'Course Sister Snyder didn't hear too well, and she said... And what she had, I believe, was a growth in her stomach or something another wrong like that. I said, "That's what it is; setting here talking to the brethren about it all the time." See?
But it's just--just to show that the church (See?), that it's carnal comparison. You see? And what does that do? It makes the real trumpet...

L-55 Now, when I was in Canada they picked up this fellow that went up there, and said right in among a bunch of Norwegians, and he said, "The--the Lord tells me that somebody in here... (a crowd about ten times this size), somebody by the name of John, maybe Johannes, Johann." Said, "Right along in here, I believe." He said, "No," said, "it's right along in here somewhere"; 'course, he took in... In a Norwegian country everybody'd had... Ninety percent of them is Petersons, Carlsons, John, Johannes, and, why, certainly. See, he's certainly... It's got to get in there somewhere. Then, "The Lord tells me somebody that's got back trouble; I feel my back hurting." Anybody that's been raised through the Scripture knows that that's psychology. That's... Certainly, it is.
But see, what did it do? (Then the man was picked up right there by the--the FBI from here, sent up there and picked him up up there, the Royal Mounted Police.) And the ministerial association come to me, and, "A homosexual," they say, "why, Brother Branham's probably the same thing. That's just the way it runs." See? What is it doing? To give the trumpet an uncertain sound. See? Just exactly. That's the way it always is, trying to do things like that to give an uncertain sound. That's Satan's business to do that.

L-57 But now, don't never vary from that Word. Remember, I charge you before God; stay with that Word. Don't you never vary from It. And if those things rise up amongst the people and things like that, there's a genuine... Every time you got a false, there's a--there's a bogus dollar, that shows there was a good dollar it was made off of. When you hear some hypocrite speaking in tongues, you can't say he's got the Holy Ghost. But remember, he's impersonating some genuine article that does have the gift of speaking in tongues. When you see those things that's false, remember, they were made off of a real one. God is the Originator of all good things, but Satan impersonates those gifts. Well, I get on that and we won't get into our lesson, will we?
