<TITLE>01. Par 1-5</TITLE>62-0121M, And Thy Seed Shall Possess The Gate Of His Enemy, Faith Tabernacle, Phoenix, AZ, 99 min
L-1 I'm as usual, hour or two late. The pastor got up and said, "Now, I want to introduce to you all the late Mister Branham." Well, I have a lot of things to do so I--I just get late once in a while. But this time I couldn't help it. It was because of the weather that did it this time. I can lay it onto the weather and get by. Had to postpone it, Brother Rose, just a little bit. Good morning, Sister Rose. And glad to have this morning here, Brother Rose and Sister Rose, and Brother Sharritt, and the many brethren, you fine people out there.
I hear that somebody tells me when it rains in Phoenix, everybody just stays in bed, such a change, you know. One of these days I'm going to get a free meal. They tell me that you can have a free meal every day the sun don't shine. I'm going to watch it today, make them pay off for that.

L-2 I was speaking last night out to some church; I really don't remember the name of it. And... So I--we had a wonderful time last night out at the service. And over to Brother Outlaw's, and up to Tempe, and we just having a fine time in this fellowship. And I'm expecting to meet all these minister brothers at the convention, so we'll have time just kind of lounge around, Brother Rose, and talk to one another. And that's what I come for, is to have fellowship. And we had--looking upon our schedule and finding so many places. But I thought this was the grandest opportunity, because I got to--to meet the different ones, to get to see them and pass along.

L-3 Sometimes in preaching, every minister's misunderstood one way or the other. And many times people take something that you say and just kind of... It leans a little bit to them, so they'll say it that way; and then the next one gets it, it's leaning a little bit more. First thing you know, it's plumb out of cater.
So--so we, many times in preaching, I kinda swamp down on denominations and organizations and things. Sometimes people says then, "Brother Branham's against an organization."
That's wrong. I'm not against no organization. But it's so many times that people just depend on that organization (You see?), and placing their hopes all upon that instead of upon Christ.

L-4 They want to see how many members they can get for that organization. Now, that's very fine. I--I... That's all right. I think that every organization ought to get every member it can get. That's very fine. But when you come to taking the unconverted and placing more on that than you do upon the emphasis of the Holy Spirit, like Brother Rose was saying here awhile ago and things, then you get--you get the people thinking, "We belong to this, and we belong to that." After all, we all belong to God. See?

L-5 Now, if I seen a man going down the river in a boat... And I live by a river in Indiana, the Ohio River, and I'm right by the falls. It's a very wicked place, them falls, 'cause it'll crash you up right now. And if you ever go over that falls, there's no boat could ride it, because it sets about a forty of fifty foot straight down drop and then a big churn comes up at the bottom which it hits right on the rock, the bedrock there. And I guess the--the--the caps, the white caps, gush beneath the falls at forty feet high (See?) where it hits down, flies up again and then just goes right, tumbling like that, and goes down into a big key race that's about sixty or seventy feet deep. And in there is a whirlpool that whirls it around this way and brings, it out and goes down through a channel. There's just no way of ever surviving. You see?
