<TITLE>23. Par 93-97</TITLE>L-93 And said, "I looked and there was a great big rock, and there was a cleft in that rock. And knowed if I could ever get in that little cleft (it just big enough for me to get into), them hounds couldn't get in there. I know they couldn't scratch through the rock. I know I was safe if I could ever get in that rock." And said, "I just made it in time." He said, "When I got inside," said, "I just set down and begin to relax."
That's it, let off the steam. That's it. Just come to the Rock. The hounds of hell are galloping right behind you, sin marking your lives as you go. You claim... And if you claim to be a Christian and still love the world, if you claim to be a Christian and don't believe the Word, that's the hounds of hell howling right behind you. He's got you hid under some creed or something another in the briar patch, he can catch you there.

L-94 There's only one safe place, that's the Rock, brother. There's a cleft in that Rock tonight; it's open for sinners. It's open for unbelief. Run into it, then let off the pressure. Set down there. You're safe forevermore. Just let off the pressure and you'll be all right. Run to Christ, 'cause He is our refuge. "He is our refuge and our strength, a present Help in a time of trouble." Let's bow our heads just a moment.

L-95 I got about thirty things here I wanted to speak on yet, but I don't want to wear you. It's getting late. I'm going to ask you something though.
Many of you, practically everybody in here, has attended my meetings before. And you know you can't put your hand on one thing but what the Holy Spirit hasn't said but what was right. You know that. But let me tell you, friend, don't you take refuge in your organization. Don't you take refuge in some little experience. The world's just full tonight, of somebody going around with sensations: fire, smoke, blood, pillars, and everything else. Don't you believe that. There's only one sensation; that's Christ. When you're in there, brother, sister, your life is changed. You become a new creation. You've passed from death to life. I--I can't judge you. I never--wasn't sent to judge; I was only sent for this Word.

L-96 Just take inventory and look at yourself tonight. Each one here. I don't know who you are, but just think of yourself. Just look at yourself, think the way you're doing, what you're doing. You women, look at yourselves. You men, look at yourselves.
Preacher, look at yourself. What about your organization? Does it mean so much to you tonight if God's truth come forth you couldn't take it? You'd stay with your organization? Then you're still a sinner. You're a unbeliever. If you put anything between you and God's Word... Now, remember, that's Jesus, He is the Word. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us." He is the Word. Is there anything between you and God?

L-97 Now, with your heads bowed, I'm going to ask you. I've held you lengthy. But how do I know that the next blow up won't get me? Somewhere down the line I got to go. If God hasn't backed up every word that I've said... Not because it's me; it's because it's His Word. I've had to...?... your organizations from place to place not against you; against that system that separates you from others, that system that lets you set in there and live like the world, and still claim to be a Christian when you know you're not. If you can't compare with the Word, then there's something wrong. That's for minister and all. You know that's right.
Now, think of it. Some explosion, something somewhere is going to get you one of these days. You've got to go, and you've got to face God. You... And while there is a chance to outrun the hounds, let's go to the Rock tonight. Will you go with me? I'll lead the way. While you've got your heads bowed, every eye closed, who'd like to be remembered in prayer, raise up your hand, say, "Brother Branham, pray for me." God bless you, you, you, yes, just look over this building.
