<TITLE>15. Par 126-137</TITLE>L-126 I speak for the Christian Business Men, internationally. There's many of them setting here now. Here the other night, here about a year ago, it has been, I was in Jamaica. And they had all the celebrities of the islands in there one night, and these men getting up, testifying, "Glory to God. I was a little businessman down on the corner. Hallelujah, I got four Cadillacs now. Glory to God."
And I went back up there to the Flamingo Motel that night, stood there, I said, "I'm ashamed of you." I said, "You men here to represent Christ, trying to tell a businessman how much you got, he's got more than you have or ever will have." That's a whole lot different from the first Pentecostals. The first Pentecost sold what they had and divided amongst the poor, and went and preached the Gospel. Right.

L-128 Some little Swedish singer from Chicago, I ain't going to call his name. He's a precious brother of mine. He stood up, said, "Brother Branham, though you... We believe you to be a prophet, but I'm going to tell you right now, 'You're wrong.'"
I said, "Tell me where, brother."
He said, "Well, them people sold what they had, and laid it at the feet of the apostles, and distributed it." He said, "It was the worse act they ever did."
I said, "Do you mean to tell me the Holy Spirit makes a wrong act?"
And he said, "It was wrong. I'll prove it to you."
I said, "Why?"
Said, "Then when the persecution rose, they had no place to go. They wandered about, everywhere."
"Exactly in the will of God, preaching the Gospel wherever they went. They had no place to return." God don't make no mistakes. That's right. Oh, what a difference it is: Pentecost that was, and Pentecost that is. Yeah, there it is.

L-133 After Abraham separated himself from Lot, just exactly what God told him to do. "Separate every sin does so easily beset us, take everything out!" There, then God said, "Abraham, now you're heir of all things. Look east, look west, look north, look south; walk through the land; it's all yours." Amen.
You separate your thing--yourself from sin, unbelief. There's only one sin, and that's unbelief. Committing adultery's not a sin; drinking liquor is not a sin; telling lies is not a sin; that's the attributes of unbelief. If you believe, you wouldn't do those things. Certainly.
Jesus said in St. John 5:24, "He that heareth My Words and believeth on Him that sent Me, has Eternal Life"; that's Zoe, Holy Spirit, because he believes. Correctly. Now, until you receive That, you're make-belief; that's in that group. But when they really believe, separating themselves, then when you separate yourself from all your unbelief, and believe God, walk out strictly, carrying the commandments, doing everything that's right, then God will say, "Every promise in the Book is yours." Amen. "All's yours. Turn from It, from Genesis to Revelations, it's all yours." Amen. "If ye abide in Me and My Word in you, you can ask what you will, it'll be." What? You got to separate yourself first from your unbelief.

L-135 You say, "Brother Branham, you're making it awful close."
Jesus said, "In the days of Noah there were eight saved. As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man."
"How many is that, Brother Branham?" It may be eight thousand, may be eight million; I don't know what it is. But it's going to be in the minority. One out of every hundred thousand, or something like that, I'd say. All right.

L-137 A psychic belief, mental belief without a born again experience, emotional, ecclesiastical creed... If true genuine Holy Spirit's in there, will punctuate that Word; and that Word will live just exactly like It said It would, because It's the same Spirit spoke It, is speaking It through you. It has to live. Certainly, it is. Not you that speaketh, but the Father that dwelleth in you, He's the One does the speaking. All right.
