<TITLE>15. Par 53-55</TITLE>L-53 Here's my interpretation of Him, about being the water. He is the inexhaustible Fountain of Life. You'll never ask Him too much. You can never believe Him for too great a thing. He delights in you believing Him for great things. You can never overdo it.
Could you imagine a little fish about a half inch long, way out there in the middle of that ocean, saying, "Now, wait a minute. I better think this thing over. I'd better drink very sparingly of this water because I might run out this year." Well, if you could figure that out, then try to exhaust the fountain of God's goodness to you.
Could you just imagine a little mouse about a half-inch long, under the big garners of--of Egypt, saying, "I'll just eat one grain a day. I better allowance myself to one grain a day, because I might run out before the new crop comes in." Well, my. What's he doing? He's depriving himself.
That's exactly what's the matter with the church today, in taking church creeds and dogmas and trying to suck off of them, instead of taking the Word of God, and enjoying the fullness of the baptism of the Holy Ghost and the things of God. Why? His Word is a Seed, and this Word brings forth of its kind.

L-54 Now, we've just passed a great revival, swept the land. Fifteen years nearly it went on. What have we reaped out? We've reaped out a bunch of new members. Yeah. Why? That's what kind of seed we sowed.
Remember, the rain falls upon the earth to water it, dress it, for which it's prepared for. And now, remember, if you had a field of wheat out here, and it was growing, and its little heads was hanging over. When you see anything too sturdy, it's self-styled. A heavy, full head always bows. I hope you got that. So now notice...
Now, but a little weed standing there, and it's a drought on. People are praying for rain. Well, that little wheat's going, "Huh, huh" [Brother Branham imitates a panting sound--Ed.] It just can't--it just can't hardly get along any longer. It's going to die. The little weed is just as happy to get water as it would be.
God sends the rain, and you know what? When the rain falls, that little wheat straightens up and goes, "Glory to God." It just shouts the praises of God 'cause it comes to life. And the same water makes the weed grow, just as happy, can shout just as loud.
Now, that's what Jesus said in... If you want to read it, Hebrews 6th chapter. I haven't got time to go into it, 'cause it's getting away from us. "The rain cometh oft upon the earth," Jesus said. "The rain falls on the just and unjust."

L-55 We can see people shouting, speaking in tongues, dance in the Spirit, everything like that. That don't mean yet they got it. Oh, no. I've seen many of them do it and didn't have it. But by their fruits you shall know them: fruit--the Holy Spirit, believing God's Word, and manifesting God's Word.
That leads us to the next thought, God in His Son. You believe God is in His Word? How we could... Over here I got a dozen Scriptures wrote out here about how God manifested through Abraham, through different ones like that, proving that He was. But lest we... How many believe God's in His Word? Frankly, He is the Word. Now, God in His Son. You believe God was in His Son? He was the manifestation... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
