<TITLE>11. Par 51-55</TITLE>L-51 They watched Him. They seen the toxin held in every case. When it come time, faced with death, the toxin held. When they spit in His face, made fun of Him, the toxin held. Now, there's where trust whether you've got toxin or not, that's your test. Somebody say something about you and say, "You old holy-roller..." Well, you quit going to church, then say you're inoculated, say you've received the toxin, the balm.
Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? If there is, "then why is the daughter..." Remember, not the mother (he divorced her), but the daughter's this church; the prophecy pertains to this: "Why is the daughter of My people, her health not recovered then?"

L-52 Here she is anemic tonight (That's right.): half this way and half that way, and all scrupled up, and all kinds of orders and everything else, and separated in brotherhood, scattered everywhere, Half believing this, and half believing creed; and half believing denomination, half believing this and that. Well, my goodness, her health ought to be standing perfect rosy-cheeked, with the Word of God and the power of His resurrection. "What's the matter with the daughter of My people then? Where is My daughter?"
"I send My signs among them like that, and they just get up and walk out. What's the matter with the daughter of My people?" When it's explained and proven by the Word, and the Bible said if the--always to believe the Word. The Word is confirmed. Then you cannot disbelieve It. But you're reasoning, letting Satan tell you in your mind.

L-53 Last night when you held your hand that you was a sinner, and didn't want to die a sinner, and I called you to the platform: turned around and walked out. What's the matter? You let Satan reason, "You're going to lose your job." I'd rather lose my job than lose my life. "Your wife will leave you." I'd rather lose a wife than lose my Christ. "Your husband or your--your neighbor will make fun of you." I'd rather have my neighbor make fun of me and be right with God.
But, you see, you're listening to reasoning. That's it. You're just... You've had so many bogus things. Don't you realize, friend, that every time a bogus thing, declares that there's a real one? Sure, it does.

L-54 Notice, God gave His toxin to Himself. They watched it. And the time when they put a rag over His face... He was--could discern the thoughts in the people's heart; and they put a rag over His face, and hit Him on the head with a stick, and said, "Now, if you are a prophet, tell us who hit you, and we'll believe you." But the toxin held. Amen. He wasn't clowning.
That's what's the matter with the world today. They want some clowning. That's what's the matter with this west coast. You've got too much Hollywood in it. You've got too much glare. The Holy Ghost don't shine; the Holy Ghost glows. There's a difference between glowing and shining. The church shines with its big programs; but the Holy Ghost glows in humility, humbleness, reconciling to the Word, believing the Word.

L-55 The old saint one time, setting in a church... A few weeks ago I was supposed to be in a Chicago meeting, and a great minister there said, "We can't have Brother Branham because of his doctrine." And I don't preach no doctrine among them, but he just wanted to say that.
And he got some great big fellow from some big institute there. He come walking, his chest, with enough papers laid out there looked like that he could've done anything with it. Walked up with his chest out, throwed that back, this big book, in an intellectual talk. My, it was wonderful, his intellectual talk. But there was no Spirit in it.
