<TITLE>22. Par 108-112</TITLE>L-108 "Blessed is he that does all of His commandments, that he might have a right to enter into the Tree of Life." Guilty of the least is guilty of the whole. You know better. If you've got the Holy Spirit, It'll surely tell you better. It will tell you better if it's the Holy Spirit.
Now, if you're guilty, and would like to make a start tonight, and say, "Brother Branham, I didn't realize that. I've been slipping along. I want to start anew. From this on I'm going to serve God," raise your hand, and say, "Pray for me, Brother Branham." God bless you. That takes nerve; that takes real... Now, God bless you, many of you. God bless you.

L-109 Then if you know that something in you telling you you're wrong, then you know God's near you. But when you hear the Word so plain, and then you still set there and say, "I won't do it, that--that he don't know what he's talking about," and me quoting the Word right here (See?), then there's something wrong with what's in you. See? It same... But it's one thing: it's Satan, that's all. It's against God; it's against His rules; it's against His Word.

L-110 Someone said to me not long ago, a famous preacher, he said, "Brother Branham..." Called me into his room, laid hands on me, said, "You're going to ruin your ministry."
I said, "Why?"
He said, "You're always bawling people out for the way they do." Said, "Why don't you... People think you're a prophet."
I said, "I'm no prophet."
He said, "Well, people think you are. Why don't you teach them spiritual things, how they can receive great spiritual blessings and things?"
I said, "How can I teach them spiritual things when they don't even know their ABC's? They won't even have the common decency to line up with the Word, let alone spiritual things. If they don't believe earthly things, how will they believe heavenly things?"
He said, "Well, you'll just ruin your ministry."
I said, "Any ministry that the Word of God will ruin, it should be ruined." Come back to the Word. That's right.

L-111 Now, if you're smoking cigarettes, and so forth like that, and claiming you got the Holy Ghost, shame on you. You men... You say, "Why are you picking on the women?" You men that'll let your wives do that, oh, mister, and calling yourself a Christian, shame on you. I know this is rough, but brother, it's--it's trimming time. It's time for the Holy Ghost to come, take His bride. And if it don't line with His Word, then there's something wrong.

L-112 You who've fallen away, stay home on Wednesday nights, and won't come over here to church, watching television, and the other nights of church, think... You--you really say... And if you have to come to church you have to force yourself to do it, because you think it's a law you do it; you ought to do it, it's honorable to do it. And if you don't love to do it, there's something wrong. There's a Holy Spirit that makes you love to serve God.
Now, with that, while your heads are bowed, all that feel that they'd like to make a start to God tonight, raise up your hands. Just everybody in here now, just put up your hands, everybody all around. God bless you, and bless you, and you, and you, you, you. God bless you. Fine. I'm going to pray for you.
