<TITLE>02. Par 4-7</TITLE>L-4 The other... Some days ago I was talking to a group of brethren who had--of a certain denomination; they were really pulling me through the coals. And they said, "It's ridiculous to preach Divine healing." Oh, my. They knowed all the Book, you know, and said, "Why, that days is gone a long time ago."
I said, "Well, somewhere, brother, it's returned again, because I--I sure am..."
And they were telling me that, about I should not have tried to preach without having an education, without going to Bible school and learning something. And I--I just waited till they got finished, and I said, "You know," I said, "I tell you. You brethren really must have a great time." I said, "You know, in all my errors and mistakes, and He--He loves me the way He does, and I just can't hardly stand it sometimes." I said, "Wonder them that's in the truth, wonder how he--they can ever stand it then, you know, so loving it like that." I said, "It's just speak..." In--in all this error that we are supposed to be in, you know, and if He loves us this much, how about those who really have the truth? I imagine they really have a time, don't you think? So we'll just remain as we are until He shows us our error. And then, we'll move on up into what they think is the truth; if He says it is, and His Word declares it.

L-5 And so... But in a group like this it's the closest place to heaven that there is on earth. When here we are setting together this morning, we are already dead; that job's done over. And we are--we are buried. That's right, all buried. And then we are... not only that, but we are risen again. We're raised and in Christ in His resurrection. We're part of it. And now we're assembling together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. See? We are in Him by baptism. See? By one Spirit all baptized in one body, and here we are now assembled, the body of the Lord Jesus.

L-6 And now, your services starts in about thirty minutes, or thirty-five minutes. And if I would try to use this text of Letting Off The Steam, we'd be letting it off till noon, and I guess they'd be--be letting off right. But I thought maybe I would just take a little testimony of something, and--and so we can get back to the church.
I'd love to be there and set under the teaching of these great servants of Christ, Brother Vayle, brother up there, and our precious Brother Parker, and Brother Iverson, many of the other brethren here, and would like to hear them. He was telling me the order of the meeting, "letting the Spirit move." I like that. And then the next man that raises up carries that on in harmony. Now, that's the Holy Spirit. That's right. But when you find out someone comes in contradictory, then that breaks that--that time of fellowship. It breaks the... See, there's something wrong in that.

L-7 Now, I told Brother Parker as he graciously invited me one time, maybe--maybe next year if the Lord tarries, might come back and I'd like to go down and--and have a day just to set with the brethren and talk of my own personal experience, of how meeting the Spirit itself.
You can't talk out before the world out there those things. If you say something (I've watched it.), you just speak a word, and one will take it and lean this way with it; and the other one take it and lean that way with it. And the first thing you know, it's altogether off of the subject altogether than what... And then it gets out amongst the people, and some said, "Brother Branham says this." And that... Well, it's not only to me; it's with any brother like that. So just to set together with ministers, where you have the privilege of raising up... And that's what makes you pure, is when you can set down and listen, and divide your--your thoughts together.
