<TITLE>20. Par 91-95</TITLE>L-91 Oh, precious friend, won't you take a hold of something? Believe me as His servant. The Holy Spirit is right. Don't let no one ever talk you away from It. Hold to God's unchanging hand, Christian friend. If you've just joined church, if you've just been baptized in water, and haven't yet been baptized with the Holy Spirit, you've never been actually regenerated...
Now, you say, "Brother Branham, I spoke with tongues, I--I did this, or did that." Now, I believe in that too. I told you. But remember. You could dance in the Spirit; you could speak with tongues. I've seen the Hindus do that. I've seen witch doctors speak in tongues and interpret it. And I've heard... Went into a camp one time, where there was... Some brothers went in there, seen a table tap out in tongues, and a pencil come and write in unknown tongues; and them read it off. See? All those things, that's--that could be the devil.

L-92 But brother, if you do speak with tongues, and then you continue to live the life that you once lived, then there's something wrong with your experience. See? If you have got that... Just only thing you're leaning upon is speaking with tongues, don't you try that. You'll go over the falls, and that boat will never stand up to it. But with a...
Where there is tongues they shall cease. Where there is prophecies it shall fail. But when that which is perfect is come... Oh, that love of God so rich and pure, fathomless and strong... Then these other gifts will work right in with it. See? That's gifts of the Holy Spirit that's given to you, speaking in tongues, prophesying and whatmore, interpretations. That's to edify the church, for the edification of the body. But first receive the Holy Ghost, that you see that your life is changed.

L-93 Now, there's been about eight or ten hands go up since I've been talking. Would there be another before I offer prayer? God bless you, lady. God bless you, sister. Would there be someone else? Just put up your hand and say in deep sincerity, "Brother Branham, remember me." God bless you, there, brother. Someone else? Just say, "Pray for me." I can only pray for you, my friend. God bless you, lady. And God bless you there, sister. Now, He sees your hand.
Remember, Jesus said, "He that heareth My words, believeth on Him that sent Me has Everlasting Life, and shall not come into condemnation but has passed from death unto Life." We must believe that with all our hearts. Just believe it with all that's in you, and God shall take care of the rest.

L-94 Heavenly Father, we now give this little audience to you. These broke up, nervous spoken words tonight, Lord, standing here with the feeling of those people standing there with their limbs aching. God, I claim their soul. The best that I knew how, Lord, to bring the Word in my poor humble way, what little seed was in it, Father, sow it in the hearts of them people. And I claim their soul, that it shall not be lost, but it will appear yonder in that day at the resurrection. Grant it, Lord.

L-95 Thou art God. There's no other God but You. The heathens has images; we have a living God, the only true living God. We could think of You, Father, setting yonder in eternity, millions times brighter than a--ten billion suns. O God, shine forth--You could make the worlds, put the great solar system in the skies, and--and then come down to save a sinner, interested enough to be here in this little tabernacle tonight with these Christian people. For Jesus give us the Word that, "Wherever two or three are gathered in My Name, I'll be in their midst."
Now, save these people, Father. That's all I know to ask You, and I believe that You'll answer my prayer. And I pray that tomorrow they'll be right at the church, and ready for baptism, even yet tonight if they've never been baptized. And I pray that You'll fill them with the Holy Ghost. Let them hold on to this real truth of God until death shall set them free. In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen.
