<TITLE>22. Par -</TITLE>L-35-3 He said, "We don't allow revivals around here."
He said, "Oh, but the Lord told me to--to hold this revival." See? He just kept on right at his work. See, see?
He said, "There's one thing you have--you have to understand." He said, "I run this town around here."
He said, "Oh, you do?" and just kept on washing the windows, you know.
He said, "Before you have a revival you have to whip me first." He said, "Oh, I do? Well, I'll just do that next then." He just took off his coat, and walked over there and reached him by the collar, and knocked him down on the floor, and jumped up on top of him, said, "I must fight if I should reign. Increase my courage, Lord." Pound the tar out of him. Said, "You got enough?"
He said, "Yes." He got up and shook his hand; he got saved that night in church. There you are. See?

L-36-1 Just take the Word of God and cut your way through every doubt. You see it? Sure, that's it. If that's the next job, let's get it done. Right. Best thing I know to do is get away from my doubts, cut it down.
That's my next job is get all my flusterations away. If my senses tell me, "Well, you feel bad," the next thing do is cut that thing away. That's right.
You say, "Well, you--they tell me that uh... You know, my conscience tell me, Brother Branham, that I can..." Well look, you might as well cut that thing away; you ain't going to get no farther than that. Just get your next job done. Take off your coat and barrel right into it. Just keep on going. One objective: "I'm going to win." Amen. "I can't lose. I'm going to win." Amen.

L-36-3 Satan anoints. See? What's his first tactic? What was his first place to get? The mind. She stopped for a moment to listen what he said.
"Oh, you don't say so." That's where a many little female's made her mistake, and a many little male made his mistake. That's right. Stop for a moment, just stop for a moment.

L-36-4 How many times have I seen divorce cases and things come before me. "Well, I tell you, Brother Branham, he whistled like the [Brother Branham makes a sound like a wolf whistle--Ed.] you know, and I stopped; and honest, I--I didn't mean to." Uh-huh, there you are.
"Oh, she... I was setting across the table from her; she--she had the prettiest eyes." See, uh-huh. See? That's it. The devil does the same thing.

L-36-5 "Oh, the doctor told me I couldn't get well, so I..." There. you are. Same thing. See? The greatest battle that ever was fought...
"Well, they tell me... I seen So-and-so claim to have the Holy Ghost." Yeah, you looked at some old hypocrite. How about them that really had It? Uh-huh? Yeah, the devil will point you to some old crow-bait, but he won't show you the real dove. That's right. He won't show you that one; he will keep that blinded from you.
Oh, he's a warrior too. Remember, but great is our--greater is He that's in you, than he that's in the world. So hold to God's Word; believe It, you captains of the army here. Hold your fort, brother. That's right, hold your post of duty.

L-37-2 So I had a little girl here one time. The lady may be setting here now; her name was Nellie Sanders. One of the first times I ever seen a devil cast out. (We lived... Now, if I can just get the place in--it'd be just about three blocks up here, beyond the graveyard.) Now, I'd just become a preacher, and I was preaching right here on this corner with a tent meeting. And that little girl was one of the best dancers. She went to high school down here. And her and Lee Horn (and many of you here in town know Lee Horn down here, runs the pool room in there.)--so they, her and Lee Horn, was the best dancers there was in the country. He's Catholic himself; 'course, religion didn't mean nothing to them. So then (Nellie and them), so she was a great dancer and he was too, and they had this here dance called the "black bottom" and "jitterbugs" and all them things; and she was--them two was the best in the country.
