<TITLE>12. Par 47-51</TITLE>L-47 Now, regardless of what took place, Abraham stayed with the Word, the promise. But today the organization can't do that. And some of you precious brothers that belong to those organizations, you disagree with them once, you know where you're gone.
How many of you... Now, I don't say in this building now, but how many has been in my study, how many has been with me saying, "Brother Branham, we know that's the truth, but if we're kicked out here, what are we going to do?"
Brother, what are we going to do? Hang to Calvary, hang to the promise, hang to the cross, regardless.
And over in there they got some of the finest men. See? But what I'm trying to do is say that that has got to fail. It always has failed and always will fail. But it's whether you fail or not with God. Keep God's Word and His promise first; you'll be tested by It.

L-48 You'll sign papers that you'll do this or do that. Even against the Word, you'll still sign it. That's right. In your hearts you know it's wrong. That's that still small voice speaking, that Word. No wonder we can't move on because what something's happened. You separated yourself from that still small voice. You run out too quick. God was calling you, but you run out too quick because the thunders roared, the lightning flashed, the mountains shook. It never moved Elijah, that prophet. He wanted that voice first. He said, "I'll lay right here."
So many today started off healing services, carnal in comparisons, all kinds of things and sensations that never even appeared in the Word of God. That's right. What is it? We ought to sing that song "They That Wait Upon The Lord." Let me humble my pride and call on Your Name. Let me wait, Lord, till I hear that still small voice. And that voice will be a Scriptural Voice. It'll speak exactly with the Word. Amen.

L-49 All right. Found, Abraham after he'd been put--called out, separated from his loved ones, from his family, from his home, for his kindred into a strange land... By faith he did that. Then because that he did it, God give him circumcision to prove that he was God's son. And he believed in Him because he was believing the promise. Yet he couldn't--he didn't see it natural, but he professed anything contrary to God's Word was a lie. No matter how much evidence come up, it's still a lie.

L-50 I hate to say this but I'm going to have to. Look, and when you take women (I'll say it for one thing, that's visible--can see.), that claim to have the Holy Ghost and not decent enough to--to leave their hair grow, there's something wrong somewhere. A woman that will put on a garment that pertains to a man and wear it, when the Bible says it's an abomination to a--to God for a woman to wear a garment pertains to a man. And then you claim to have the Holy Ghost and do that?

L-51 I spoke on that one day, in Oregon; there's a woman wrote me a great big letter. She said, "Brother Branham, you got a wonderful ministry, but you're sure ruining it." She said, "Now, what about," said, "I wear overalls all time." Said, "What about going out in the garden to pick some--some garden and with a dress on. Don't you think it'd look much better with overalls on than it would be, or dungarees (ever what it is), than to have a dress on?" And said, "Look, I ride up into the mountains with the boys when they go up to herd the cattle," and said, "I get into the mosquito infested area." Said, "Now, with a--with a dress on, they'd eat me up. With overalls they don't bother me."
I said, "That's thinner than the broth made out of the shadow of a chicken that starved to death." Mercy, that ain't got one Word of God about that. That's your own opinion. God said, "Let every word be a lie and His be true." My wife wears a dress; she picks in the garden. She has no trouble about it. And anyhow, a woman ain't got no business with a bunch of men out there a herding up cattle anyhow. She ought to be in the kitchen where she belongs. That's right.
