<TITLE>22. Par 189-197</TITLE>L-189 [Tongues and interpretation are given--Ed.] Amen. Thank You, Lord, thank You. Reverently we respect that with all of our heart. That's a gift in the church. Just be in prayer, reverently.
Remember, they was going to battle one time; they didn't know how to meet this great battle. David was standing there, and divided with them a piece of meat and a flagon of wine. But the Spirit fell upon one man, and he prophesied and told them where to meet the enemy, and it was so.
We're meeting a great battle, brother. And we're standing in a great battle right now. The Spirit has fallen and--upon someone, and has told you just what to do to believe. He's trying to get your mind away from being me. See? Some of you must be thinking that it's Brother Branham trying to do something. It's not me; it's Him. I just... A gift is just to yield yourself, like pull yourself in gear. Just like this microphone, turn it on, something has to speak through it. It's just a little gear I turn on, a little thing. The Holy Spirit... I don't turn it on; He turns it on. And then He speaks; it's not me. Now, be reverent and believe, each one of you, and just pray.

L-192 Now, everyone knows that the Bible said that Jesus Christ right now is a High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmity. If that's right, let the congregation say, "Amen." [Congregation says "Amen!"-Ed.] Is He the same High Priest? Say, "Amen." ["Amen."] If He is the same High Priest, He'd act the same way. Is that right? Amen. Now, what would you do?
Now, to touch me, it wouldn't make any difference; I'm a man. But to touch Him, then He's the Holy Spirit that's in here; then He reacts back and uses human lips. Because He's the Vine; we are the branches; He doesn't bear fruit; He only energizes the branch.
That's just turning my back, so that you can see that the things I've said...

L-195 Now, these ministers here on the platform, they're praying. You can look at me if you wish to. That's all right. Just to see, you might know that they're just... 'Cause you're the shepherd; you're the one that's pastoring these sheep. So just, that you might know. And I want you to pray for me, brethren. 'Cause you see what I am? I'm representing the very Christ that you serve. And I'm your brother, fellow citizen of the Kingdom, with you brothers. And I'm just here...
See, now, right now the Word that I preached (See?); it's at stake. Right now, failure, that's what Satan would want to see. That's all he's looking for. But God's no failure. Just be reverent.

L-197 Now, with my back turned, I want somebody... Let me turn it, it's all the way around. Let me turn to this section, first, and then I'll come on over to the other section. Now, somebody back this way; there's too many, like praying. Back in this way, somebody pray back here now, that wants to believe God. Just believe with all your heart, back in here somewhere.
Now, heavenly Father, I--I appreciate You in all Your messages, everything that You've done. Now, help me, Lord. I'm--I'm... By faith, I believe You, Your Word. I believe It was Your Spirit that called me to do this. Now, let it be known that I've spoke the Truth. I've testified of You; now testify, Lord, that I told the Truth. I ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.
