<TITLE>15. Par 64-68</TITLE>L-64 Look at Andrew that I preached on last night over there, how as soon as he stayed all night with Jesus, and found out that that really was God's witness, that was the Messiah, he didn't go say: "Simon, come help me figure it out." He knew that He was Messiah. And as soon as he come up before Him, and He told him who he was, and what his father's name was... And Peter knew that was what was going to happen. Philip did the same thing, and, oh, on and on, and on. The ensign.
Jesus said in St. John 14:12, "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also."

L-65 Now, look. We are sent. Listen here, friends, all of you. I'm talking to you people now that's--right now to the people that's going to be prayed for. Listen to this. You are a witness. If you've been saved, and you know what the power of God is, you've touched that ensign. You've got a hold of something, something that's not a Nimrod's tower. Neither is it a Adam's fig leaf, apron. But it is a promise of God that, "Heavens and earth will pass away, but My Word shall not pass away." It's something you can lay your hands on. "These signs shall follow them that believe. If they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover." It's an ensign, a real ensign.

L-66 And to you people, if there be one here that hasn't never accepted this ensign, that don't know what makes these people cry, and shout, and dance; and how it makes these women let their hair grow out, and quit wearing them old dirty clothes, and--and looking sexy out before men, and things like that, that old evil spirit gone out of them...
Don't tell me... You might be as pure as a lily to your husband; but when you come to the judgment bar, you're going to answer for committing adultery. That's right. The Bible said--Jesus said, "Whosoever looketh upon a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart." And if you dress yourself to present yourself before men, you're guilty, if a man never touches you. When that sinner answers for his adultery, you're the one that committed it. You've presented yourself. Yes, sir.

L-67 Brother, sister, you might think this is old fashion. I had a minister not long ago, said, "You're going to hurt your ministry, Brother Branham."
I said, "It isn't mine; it's His. That's His Word, and that's what He says. And I believe It. Yes, sir. Yes, sir."
So when you see one of them women get straight with God, you'll see her come out like a saint. You'll see her act different. There'll be a difference in her life. Holiness will speak everywhere. She'll be a lady.
Watch that man, that drunkard out there on the street, staggering and a bar fly, and his mouth blowed with fly-blows from vomiting from whiskey and beer, and stuff like that. Let him get down at the altar and catch a hold of that ensign one day, and I'm telling you he will be an ensign to God, and a memorial to the saving power of Jesus Christ. Yes, sir. He certainly will.

L-68 I stood down the other day here on the streets of Phoenix and seen a little colored boy standing out there. Little guy, was nobody paying any attention to him, had his Bible under his arm, and ever who was coming by he was pointing the Gospel to them, just as hard as he could. And I said, "Thank the Lord God. Oh, my. Scream it out, brother. Just keep it going. That's all right: lifting up Jesus Christ."
