<TITLE>15. Par -</TITLE>L-763-87 Now, tomorrow night or day after tomorrow night, you'll see Mattsson-Boze come down here, which is my friend. You'll see just what one, little crippled-up Swede did over there in Tanganyika. He went in there and... Now, Mattsson-Boze's a good man, but he don't believe the faith that we believe.
I've took him right out and took him and just tied him to such a place in the Scripture. I say, "Mattsson, you're my friend. Now you're not going to jump or run; we're just going to stand here and hold one another's hands as Christian brothers and talk." See?
You lay the Message right to him and he'd just stand there and say, "Bro'r Branham, you--you sure are right."
I said, "Now, Mattsson, you don't believe that or you'd accept it."
"Well, Bro'r Branham, I--I believe what you say is the truth."
"Then why don't you accept it?" See? Just burn it right down to him and he--he... Then as soon as he gets away, he's gone. See?

L-763-93 But just watch what that man did in his missions over there, just one man, 'cause he could send right back to Chicago and pick up Burton and all the rest of them, and send them over in there like that and start the work doings till now they're getting up in the tens of thousands of one little revival. Not a man with gifts, just a man who had enough courage to go there and start. What could've been done under this? It'd been ranking in the millions. Sure. We've lost that time. That's what my suggestion would be.
Now remember, in doing this you'll find out there may be times that you'll disagree with Brother So-and-so. You'll disagree over here. And remember, as long as you get to the spot you say, "Well, because he don't believe it just like me, I ain't going to have..." Then there's something wrong with you. It's not wrong with the other fellow; it's something wrong with you. When brethren who are trying to hold together...
There's one thing, we Branhams, there's nine of us and we'd fight like pet dogs, but after all, when we got through fighting, we were still Branhams. One knowed the other was a Branham, and I knowed he was a Branham; he knowed I was a Branham. See? But we'd fight. You do that in your family, but they're still your brothers. And that's the way it is. We might different (That's all right.), but we're still one. We're one in Christ. We believe this Message and let's stay with It.

L-764-96 And I think that that's the thing to do to keep on carrying on until Jesus comes. And that's what I wanted to say in that manner. And I believe that if you'd have like...
See, you've got to be enthused with It. If you're not enthused, then there's something wrong. There's something wrong. You've got... Just not say, "Well, last month I was pretty well enthused, but I don't know." See, then there's something wrong somewhere. You've got to be enthused all the time (See?) and just keep punching; it's the devil trying to get you. Like I always liked our last President, Mr. Eisenhower. I had a great admiration for General Eisenhower. He said, "When we were fighting," he said, "there's many times we've picked up a shell and throwed it into the gun and pulled the hammer on it and let her fall, and it snapped, it didn't go off." Said, "We didn't surrender." Said, "We might've put in another one, and it snapped too." He said, "We didn't give up," said, "We kept on snapping till one went off."
