<TITLE>06. Par 24-28</TITLE>L-24 And I said, "Uh-huh." I said, "Sir, tell me what intelligence tells that sap to leave the tree, and go down to the roots for the winter. Now, you set a bucket of water on the post out there, and see if the middle of August, the water will start going down to the bottom of the post." I said, "The tree has no intelligence. It doesn't know the season. It has no intelligence. Yet, there is an intelligence somewhere that sends that tree back to preserve its life."
He said, "I hadn't thought of that like that."
I said, "Then you see it right here in your yard. Why would you want to see that preacher then, when you see it right here?" I said, "The same Intelligence that told me that that woman's sister was dying with cancer (and in a vision I saw her healed), that same Intelligence is so close to you till it controls the tree that's setting in your yard."
Raised up and shook my hand. I led him to Christ that afternoon. He died about a year later. I was down there this year and I met his widow. I went up to ask her to hunt. She was going to run me off the place at first, when I got back there. I said, "Wait just a moment." She wasn't there when I come up.

L-25 She said, "Sir, can't you read?"
I said, "Yes, ma'am." I come up. I said, "You don't know me."
She said, "No, sir. I don't. Them Indiana license on that car?"
And I said, "I'm Brother Branham. Your hus..."
"Oh," she just started weeping, and raised her hands up, and begin to praise God. She said, "Son, you can hunt anywhere you want to. Stay as long as you want to."
What was it? A paradox. No one knows, no one. You can't find the Intelligence that controls Mother Nature. But it's a paradox. We can't explain it.

L-26 I was thinking of death, and if we're on leaves... A leaf hangs on a tree to serve a purpose. And you and I are hanging on a Tree of Life after we've accept Christ. And after while when the season changes, the life goes out of that leaf down into the root, comes back again next year bringing a new leaf.
And we Christians who believe in Christ have Eternal Life, and hanging on the Tree of Life... But someday this old leaf will drop off, return back to the God that give it--only to come again in another season. This season we are divided, we're men and women. And all it is, is a seeding season. The tree continually year after year to bear record and testimony of the living God...

L-27 The sun rises and sets to show birth, death, resurrection; birth, death, resurrection, perfectly turning. Summer, winter, autumn, fall, just perfectly showing death, burial, resurrection; death, burial, resurrection. But when we come forth again, it'll be a complete new season. It'll be in the millennium. There'll be no more death. Oh, we could stay all afternoon on it. How wonderful to see God's paradoxes, to see how He--He does it.
In Hebrews, the 11th chapter and the 3rd verse, it says in there that God made the world, framed the world together with things that does not appear. This very earth that we're setting on is a paradox. What is it? It's the Word of God made manifest. Think of it. The chair that you're setting in, the ground that you put your feet on is a spoken Word of God. He made it without anything to make out of. Only thing He had was His Word, and His Word is a creation in itself. When it's once spoke, it can never return again until it's accomplished that which it's been purposed for. Hallelujah.

L-28 Doctor, I'm beginning to feel religious. His Word cannot return until It's accomplished that which It's been spoke for. God's a waiting this afternoon on a people that'll take a hold of that Word and hold It until It's accomplished that which It was purposed for. Yes. It cannot return. It's a paradox. The whole Word of God is a paradox--cannot return, has to accomplish which It was spoken for.
