<TITLE>11. Par 47-51</TITLE>L-47 As that choir was singing last night, down at the--the other church, at Brother Outlaw's church--saying... First round was regeneration, and he kept on. Another one got somewhere else. And after while he went past Mars, Jupiter, and hit the Milky White Way, and just kept on going. I--I like that. See? Just keep climbing round by round.
Take a hold of God's promise. Say, "God, You promised to save me." Hold on to it. Stay right there till you're saved. "God, You promised to fill me with the Holy Ghost." Stay right there till you're filled with the Holy Ghost. If you're sick, say, "You promised to heal me. I'm staying right here till You heal me." There you are. That's the way to do it. Stay with it.
God is infinite. He's unchangeable. He cannot change. And He does it in unexpected ways. But hold on until it comes. Don't tell God how you want--how Him to do it; He will do it the way He wants to do it. See? Don't tell Him how to do it.

L-48 Now, watch. Now, we find out that Isaiah was borned a prophet. Now, he was in the line of duty when he was down there at the altar. It was no strange thing for a prophet to see a vision, so he ought to remember it. He was right in the line of duty. So he wasn't out of the Scripture; he was right in the Scripture.
God said, "If there be one among you spiritual or a prophet, I, the Lord God will make myself known unto him. What this prophet says comes to pass, then hear him. If it don't, refuse him." So you see, Jacob was in the line of the Scripture, Moses in the line of the Scripture, and Elijah.

L-49 Let's take Elijah here. I'd like to say to him... Now, he got out there in the wilderness and got moody. And God sent him, fed him with an Angel, and put him in the wilderness, and he wandered for forty days and nights. And the first thing you know, what happened? He come up back in a cave. And the prophet back there, he heard the rushing wind, splashing, blowing. He heard the rocks a-roaring, and everything. He thought, "Well, that's all right. I've been up on Mount Carmel. I know He answers the thunder, and the lightning, and the rain. I know it." But what got the prophet was that unexpected still small voice.
There's where it makes so many of us Pentecostal people jump. See? We are expecting something some other way, when God brings it in His own way. See? We think that it--it--we ought to come in the way we expect it. But God sends it in His own way, the way He wants to do it--do it.

L-50 Now, Jesus... When they asked for a king (Isaiah 9:6), he said, "Unto us a Child is born, a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulders. A virgin shall conceive, and bring forth a Child. He'll be called Immanuel." And, why, He come exactly in the line of the Scriptures. Did He? Just exactly what the Scriptures said... Moses was lined up, but it didn't come the way he thought it would. He thought, "I'll go down there and kill that Egyptian, now that'll be it. Then all the children of Israel will say, 'So-and-so, he... See, he's our conqueror.'" But it didn't come that way. But he was still in his line of the Scriptures. Jacob, all the rest of them, was in line of the Scriptures when God worked.

L-51 And if we get ourselves lined up with the Word of God and hold on to it... "What can I... Brother Branham, what can I do to be lined up with the Word of God?"
Just take It in your heart and believe It. Every promise is yours. It's yours. You can have it. It belongs to you.
Every promise in the Book, (you sing), is mine.
Every chapter, every verse, every line.
I'm trusting in His love Divine,
For every promise in the Book is mine.
No matter what the promise is, it's yours anyhow, because God gave it to you. "Whosoever will, let him come and drink from the fountains of water of life freely." It's yours. It belongs to you. Any promise belongs to you, if you have faith to appropriate it. And it'll do it, if you'll just believe it.
