<TITLE>21. Par 80-83</TITLE>L-80 I think of that... One time here a few years ago, down in Jeffersonville, the Pfau Oil Company caught afire. And we got a bunch of little fire engines down there, and they come around looking like a kid with a hose out in the yard. The fire chief was running around there, you know, saying, "Uh, sprinkle a little bit up [Blank.spot.on.tape.] here;" chewing on that cigar like a dehorned Texas steer. Going here, "Sprinkle a little bit over here." All the fireman run around pull the hose, "Yes, sir, your Honor, sir, [Brother Branham illustrates.--Ed.]" fire burning right on, burning right on down.
After while they called Louisville. Across the bridge came the big fire engine. No more than they stopped, they had a folding ladder. Who was standing... Before the ladder started, the chief was on the front. When the ladder went up, the chief was at the top. When he got to the window, he didn't stand there, "Spurt a little water here, spurt a little water there." What did he do? He took the axe and throwed it through the window and said, "Come on, boys."...?... That's what our Chief done. Hallelujah. Led the way to death, hell, and the grave, and said, "Come on, boys." Not some kind of a creed. Oh, come on; He leads the way. Hallelujah. A few minutes the fire was out.

L-81 Let Him break the windows and walls of your creeds down and come in one time. All the superstitions and devils will fly...?... Glory. Things will change. We need no great intellectual giants; we just follow the Chief. Chief come right down, and took the Word of God and broke right through it, said, "Here you are."
You know, I'm told that a jet plane, after it goes so fast it gets to the sound barrier. And then it just has to quiver and shake until it gets through that sound barrier. And after it gets through there, she just runs free. Well, that's the way it is, brother. You just die out to everything, till you get through the sin barrier. That's the unbelief. Get through that, and everything will run fine. When you take God at His Word you can shake every devil away from you and run free, everything. Amen. Put on the full armor. Yes, sir.

L-82 The Chief is leading, leading us home. Amen. Come on home. "In My Father's house are many mansions: if it wasn't so, I'd have told you. I'll not leave you comfortless: I'll come again and be with you, even in you to the end of the world. The works that I do shall you do also. A little while and the world seeth Me no more; but ye shall see Me: for I'll be with you, even in you to the end of the world." Chief, leading on. Amen.
My Lord knows the way through the wilderness. All I have to do is follow. Amen. Hear the tramp, tramp, tramping of the army, marching on to victory, not paying any attention to all this unbelief and old crows and buzzards hollering around here. We're eagles. Let's soar out of everything. Amen.

L-83 Here some time ago in the army... When the nation first provided a helmet (Oh, my!), that little rookie didn't want to wear that; it seemed unnecessary. But when he got in battle he needed it. God don't provide anything 'less He has need of it. Everything that He's provides for you, you better take it 'cause you're going to have need of it.
A little rookie with a ninety pound pack on his back in a training... He's got his new suit on, you know, and he don't see any necessary packing that ninety-pound pack with all these picks, and shovels, and hand grenades, and everything else. But let him get in battle once. Time will come when you must have it. That's right.
