<TITLE>14. Par -</TITLE>L-22-1 Let's not use a .22 rifle. Let's get a--an atomic bomb. Let's do the job right. Let's get God's atomic bomb. "What is it, Brother Branham?" F-a-i-t-h in His Word. That's God's atomic bomb, and It blows sickness and devils right and left. It--it annihilates them, discriminates. Oh, It--it's--it just destroys; it disintegrates everything that's ungodly. When that bomb of faith drops in there with the Word of God behind it, it blows every devil, every sickness, every disease.
You say, "Is that right, Brother Branham? Then, why does it on some and not on others?" It's because of the channel. You can look out and see it, but you've got to have it in here looking this a-way. Not out there looking in, you got to be in looking out. See?

L-22-3 You can't come through reason; you can't come through these other things; you've got to come right down God's channel of it, right into the soul. And how do you do it? What's the last channel? It'll reason right on down and say, "Senses. Oh, I--I can feel it. Yeah, there it is. (Uh-huh.) Oh, I--I might smell it or so forth. These things are there, yeah."
Next thing you reason, "Well, it looks like he ought to know what he's talking about. The doctor says I can't get well. That ought to be..."
You see? Right there you're--you're wrong. That's the devil standing there. That's the devil poking these things into you; don't you believe it. Hallelujah. God's Word said, "I... Above all things I want you to prosper in health." That's right. How can you be a real soldier out there? See? "I want you to prosper in health."

L-22-6 There it is right there, those channels. If you just get them opened up; don't want to just bypass them. Then if Satan can get through there, get by these conscience and all these other things, then he gets right down here at the end of the soul in the mind. Now, if he can just get you... You'll never--you'll never look at one of them until first you have to let him in here. You have to let him in; then when he gets in, he's got control.
Then what does he do? He begins to use the conscience. He begins to use this, begin to use this outlet. What is it? See, taste, feel, smell, hear, imaginations, conscience, memory, reasons, affections; he begin to use all those different little channels, as long as he could get in above this one here. He's got to come in your mind first, and you have to accept it. It can...

L-23-1 Listen. It can batter against you, but it can't get to you until you accept it. When Satan walked up to Eve and said, "You know, the fruit's pleasant," she stopped for a moment. Oh, that's when she made a mistake, when she stopped for a moment. Don't stop for nothing. You've got the message. Jesus lives; God's a Healer; that's the message. Don't stop for nothing, no reasonings, no nothing else.
But she stopped for a moment. That's when Satan walked right into that mind. Said, "Well, it sounds reasonable." Oh, don't do that. Just take what God said.

L-23-3 Abraham, what if he'd stopped for reasoning when He told him he was going to have a baby with Sarah, and she was sixty-five and him seventy-five. And when he was a hundred and she was a--and she was ninety, he still, he--he--he confessed that God's Word was true; and he called those things which were not as though they were. See? He--he... Even hope, was there any hope? He didn't even use hope.
"Well," you say, "I hope I can get all right. I hope I'll be well. I hope I get the Holy Ghost. I hope I'm a Christian. I hope I do this." You don't want that. Abraham never even looked at that. Amen. Against hope he still believed God's Word. Faith is beyond hope. Faith comes from back here in the inside, faith comes from here. How does he get in? Through this mind, this--this door, the battle front standing there.
