<TITLE>15. Par 63-66</TITLE>L-63 "How can you tell, Brother Branham, what's right or wrong? Give them the Word test. That'll tell whether they're right or wrong or not. Stay right with that Word; see what happens. See? Just throw the Word down there and see where they're at. "Oh, well, you see that..." Oh, then get right away right then. See? Yeah. Just stay right with that Word.
So why, if they'd give Micaiah the Word test, he proved out he was a hundred percent with it. Now, they say, "Wait a minute (See?); God gave it to us." That's right.
God gave us the promise of the Holy Ghost. Peter said on the day of Pentecost, you know, "Repent every one of you and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. You shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. The promise is to every generation." See? That's us. That means us. But it's conditions. You just can't get it any way. You've got to follow instructions. That's exactly.

L-64 The land did belong to them, but they had to follow instructions. And the instructions of the Lord wasn't to give it to Ahab. He was cursed, and anything that God curses and proves He's not with, get away from it. Amen. (That was a good double-barrel, wasn't it?) Yes, sir. If God's proved He isn't with the thing, stay away from it. That's right. It's no good to begin with. God condemned it, and I'm sure I don't want to be around it. Yes, sir. Have enough trouble the way it is, instead of getting in something like that.

L-65 Now, he said... Now, we want to stay this... These fellows took that little preacher and said, "Put him in the inner cells, way back there, and put a--one of these here big wooden collars on him, and put him in stocks, and--and feed him just bread and water till I return in peace. Then I'll deal with this fellow, the son of Imlah."
He said, "If you return at all, then the Lord hasn't spoke to me." He wasn't taken down, 'cause he knowed his prophecy. The Spirit, the--the--the vision that come to him was exactly in line with the Word. There you are. Now, you see what I'm getting to? If your--if your vision isn't exactly in line with the Word, you'd better stay away from it. No matter what kind of a promise you try to claim, you better get back in line with the Word. That's right. That's exactly true. See?

L-66 Though it be God's true sign for the day, spoken of in the Word, God said the thing would happen just at that time, still they'll deny it, say, "There's nothing to it. (That's right.) Don't believe it." Oh, my. By His true prophetic Word, He has always given Scriptural signs before He sends judgment (See?), by His Word. He will speak it way back, then it'll come up to the Word, and here will come one of His servants along proclaiming that Word, just the way it is. See? And He always does that before He sends a judgment that He's promised. He always... And somebody comes along with the Scriptural fact and God bearing record. Hebrews 2:4 said so--bearing record with signs and wonders of it, God confirming the Word (Mark 16) with signs and wonders, God confirming what was preached. See?
Sure, you might have a little healing service. That might work all right. But what about the rest of it? See? You can take the Word and make it work right here. Then take the rest of it, and it'll work in its place, just exactly every place. Every place you place the Word, It'll work if It's in the right kind of channel, faith behind it to believe it. Then it's got to grow.
