<TITLE>19. Par 175-184</TITLE>L-175 That's what we need. That's what we need, a sane, sensible group of people that can walk up and face God and say, "Lord, don't make me a church member, but make me a witness. Pour out Your Spirit upon me and fill me. Let me be Your witness." That's what we need. That's what the church is suffering the lack of today. It's anemic condition, is because it has rejected the Blood of Jesus Christ.
Yes, the Holy Ghost bearing record Itself, saying, "It's so." There they was. And the men couldn't deny It.

L-177 These men hadn't waited in school to find any great education. They were ignorant and unlearned men, fishermens and peasants. They were common people. The Bible said, "The common people heard Jesus gladly," not the riffraff, no, not the celebrity, but the common people heard Him gladly. And there was common people; they'd heard Him, and they said, "We're witnesses that we have received something; and we don't know, hardly, our own language."
But the men said, "How do we understand them? Are they not all Galileans?" Galileans was a poor class of people. Said, "How do we hear them Galileans speaking in our own language wherein we were born?"
Giving testimony of the Holy Ghost, bearing record that the Word of God had been fulfilled. "I'll pour out My Spirit upon all flesh. And with stammering lips and other tongues will I speak to this people, and this is the rest": bearing record, a witness. This is the record of it. Sure.
Had three witnesses... What? The prophets' Word, God's Word. Because those prophets spoke not their word, but it was the Word of God as He put It in their mouth.

L-180 I'm sitting here now looking at a little Norwegian, doctoring--doctor, medical doctor setting over here, who come all the way from Norway, over here to be prayed for. And the other night, while we were setting together in a private interview, the Holy Spirit moved into the room.
He said, "I'm waiting, Brother Branham, to see what will be said."
There the Holy Spirit went way back down through his life, all the way back to when something happened, told him about it, and what happened, and what condition, all about it, and told him that thing. What was it? God's Spirit giving witness.

L-184 There's perhaps another little fellow setting here that the--Brother Palmer's church sent up: all confused, and knowing not what to do; he got tore up about something. A nice little fellow; I suppose he went home. But there was... He sent him up here. Brother Palmer wrote me a letter, and said, "Brother Branham, I know it's a strenuous time," or something like that, "but when you can get a chance, see him, because he's a good brother." And--and the church had sent him up. He was on the interview. While setting there, this great deep something in his mind, before he had a chance to say anything the Holy Spirit reached down and got it, brought it out, showed him. And he rejoiced, and the tears run down his cheeks. Why? God bearing witness. By what? By William Branham? No, sir. By the Holy Ghost. Amen. That's God's Witness.
