<TITLE>13. Par 89-97</TITLE>L-89 Down the mountain, about every time we get a half a mile or so, closer, he said, "Brother Branham, about time for that bear to appear."
I said, "Don't worry, he'll be here."
And when we were almost within about five hundred yards of where the horses was, we had to rest again with the heavy horns and things on our back. And he looked around again, and I seen his face as he looked at me, as if down in his heart he was wondering. See, he had hoped it would be there, but he didn't have the key.
But somehow, by the grace of God, He's never failed me. When He told me there'd be a silver-tip there, I had the key. I didn't doubt it one bit, not a bit. I turned to him, and I said, "Bud, it'll be there." And just as I turned, there was the bear [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] standing right above us about a half a mile.
He throwed the glasses on; he said, "Billy, so help me, it's a big silver-tip."
See, the key, a vision, the Word of the Lord, there's nothing can change It or stop It. What the church needs tonight is not an education. What the church needs tonight is not a denomination. What the church needs tonight is not creed. What the church needs tonight is the key to the Scriptures, the Door. Which, Christ is the Door, and He is the Word. Faith in the Word of the living God unlocks every door. God, give us the key. Give us the key.

L-94 Hebrews the 12th chapter, says, "Seeing that we're compassed about with such a great cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the unbelief that does so easily beset us." It says "sin," which sin is "unbelief." See? Only one sin, that's unbelief.
And "sin" means "to miss the mark." Like you're shooting, you miss the mark, better adjust your gun (See?), because there's something wrong. You missed the mark. See, come back and try over. See, it means to turn around; you've missed the mark. When you want to be a Christian, and you go join the church, you've missed the mark. When you want to be a Christian, and you've been sprinkled in the name of the Father, Son, Holy Ghost," you missed the mark, better come back. You'll not be on the target. You'll scatter, as sure as the world. There's only one Thing can hold you in perfect line; that's the Scripture, the Bible, the Word. For both heavens and earth will pass away, but God's Word will never pass away.
So hold the key: faith in the Word. And every bit of faith that you believe, and don't doubt one speck, you can unlock every door that stands between you and the blessing that God has for you. May God help us to have the keys, is my prayer. Let us bow our heads now for a word of prayer.

L-97 Our heavenly Father, we thank Thee tonight that Thou has give us a key to unlock to us salvation. I--I thank You for that, Lord, that we are saved, and for the key that we have been able to use so far. But, God, give us faith, that every one of these Words wrote in Your Book is little levers, and this Key called Jesus--this Door that I mean called Jesus and the key called faith touches every Word, it unlocks it. It moves that little lever down and we can enter into that blessing. Heavenly Father, give to us the keys, that we might be able to have faith in the promises of God, that our faith might not fail, that we might be able to be a service to You and to those who we associate with.
Forgive every sin of our disbelieving, Lord, and help us to be Thine. We're coming now to the communion table, and I pray, heavenly Father, that You will forgive us of all of our trespasses, that we might be able to enter into the joy of fellowship around the table of God. We ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.
