<TITLE>33. Par -</TITLE>L-55-2 What he done, he took his little foot and hit that sack; and it went rattle, rattle. And he jumped back and looked at it like that. He hit it again: rattle, rattle. That's all it is, just a rattle; like the Irishman's owl, all fuss and feathers and no owl, you know. So just... He hit it like that, and it rattled four or five times like that. You know what he done? Went right on around behind the sack and went on eating my butter beans. Knowed more about... gooder than I did. See?
What was it? You see, he wasn't letting the scarecrow stop him. There's something good behind the scarecrow. When they say, "Oh, they're holy-rollers," just go right on around behind that scare and go right on in. See? Go on in and believe it. See? Might be some Holy Spirit there too (You see?); you can't tell. See? All right.

L-55-4 Oh, that deno... Let's look at this denominational caterpillar at work, church natural, church spiritual. Watch this old caterpillar now when he denominates it. He's already got the bark eat off, and the fruits eat off of it; and, oh brother, it's all gone; all the gifts of the Spirit's gone, no Divine healing, no speaking in tongues, no prophecy, no nothing; don't believe in being prophets; they don't believe in these things; they don't know. All man-made, everything they got's man-made, artificial. See? All right.

L-55-5 The church natural. There is a church natural; that's the one's made up by man. Church spiritual... You know, the Bible says that? Yes, sir. Church natural and church spiritual. And the Bible says, "Cast out the bondswoman and her child (Hagar), for she will not be heir with the freewoman and her child." See?
So the natural church, that's going to inherit what? The binding of the sheaves, the binding of the bundles to be burned; and she will not inherit, be heir with the freewoman. If the bondwoman is in bondage with her organization children, she will not be heir with the freewoman; because the freewoman's children is going in the rapture. And the bondswoman's children is going to stand in the judgment. See? "Cast out, saith the Spirit of..." Yes, sir.

L-56-1 The caterpillar, denominational Esaus... Now, Esau (as Esau and Jacob, both of them twins, both of them religious)--Esau was a carnal man; he was a good man. He didn't... Say, well now, he didn't go out and steal, drink, or anything there; he was a religious man. But he thought, "Well, as long as I'm religious, what difference does it make?"
But little old Jacob, he didn't care how he had to get it; that birthright's what he wanted. No matter how he got it, just so he got it. If he had to get down at the altar, and scream, and cry, and "boo-hoo," and snot (excuse me, or you know), get it, go right up in his eyes (I didn't mean to say that.), and so (Excuse me.), and so--get down to the altar and cry through till he got it, why, he got it. See? He didn't care how he got it, just so he got it.

L-56-3 Some of them says, "I... Brother Branham, them people down there boo-hooing on that altar, and crying, and crying. I don't want it that way."
Well, you won't get it.
The old darkie, colored brother, down in the south, one time, was always happy. And his--his boss said, "What's--what makes you so happy all the time, boy?"
He said, "I got heartfelt religion."
Said, "There is no such a thing."
He said, "You made one mistake. As far as you know there's no such a thing." He knowed different. That's right. Said, "As far as you know--you should've said it that way."
