<TITLE>16. Par 111-117</TITLE>L-111 Oh. Be conscious, here's only one thing to be conscious of: your littleness. If you want to get somewhere with God, make yourself real little. Don't make yourself big like Uzziah. He got in there, and he--he said, "I'll do this anyhow, whether I... You ain't got no business telling me." See? He should've made hisself humble. "Yes, servants of Christ, pardon me." He'd have never took leprosy. No. "I know that's your job; God called you. That's your office. You go ahead and do it, sirs. I'm very, sorry." Backed off, there'd been a different writing in this Book. But when he was corrected, he got angry.
You can correct people about something or tell them about their wrong doing, they'll leave the church. They won't none... Go to somebody, tell women they shouldn't wear short hair, "Well, I'll go somewhere where they can wear it."

L-113 A lady went here some time ago. I sent my wife down. We was in a meeting; she didn't have time to wash her hair, and she... I told her to go to one of them there beauty shops and get her hair washed. She went over there, and that lady didn't even know how to put her hair up. She had to twist it around on top of her head. "Come on," said, "I never did wash anybody's hair, with long hair." She didn't know anything about it. I don't know. Oh, my. See?
They don't know what it's all about. Why? It's because of weak pulpits they been setting under (That's right. It's exactly right.), the weak pulpits that won't tell the truth. They compromise with it. See? Better... It would've been better if you'd hear it... And you was to talk to one of them, they'll get up, and blow up, and say, "I'll never hear that holy-roller again." See? Go ahead, Uzziah. That's right.

L-115 Leprosy, why, I'd rather have leprosy any time than that kind of leprosy; well, that's leprosy of the soul. See? When you go up and broke out... You're right there broke out again in leprosy: sin, which is worse than leprosy. It's a leprosy of the soul.
Uzziah probably went and slept with his fathers the Bible said. Which he was saved, because he just did something wrong. But when you do it, knowing better, then you break out leprosy of the soul. And then there's no way to take a leper's soul in; you know that.
So then, make yourself little. Humble yourself before God. Recognize... Don't get all puffed up and blow up; search the Scriptures and see if it's right.

L-117 I told someone not long ago... They said, "Brother Branham, I understand that you're Jesus Only?"
I said, "You understood wrong." See? I said, "I am not Jesus Only."
Said, "Well, you baptize in Jesus' Name."
I said, "That don't make me Jesus Only." I said, "Jesus Only doctrine; they baptize to regeneration; I don't believe in that. I don't believe in--soon as you're baptized in Jesus' Name remit--remit your soul--your sins; I believe Peter said repent first; turn around, you missed the mark; go back. Repent and then show to the world that you been--you been baptized. I believe that... I don't believe in being borned again is the baptism of the Holy Ghost. It is not the baptism of the Holy Ghost; it's being reborn again. We're reborn by the Blood. Blood cell comes from the--I mean, life cell comes from the Blood. You're baptized by the Holy Ghost into the body, but you're born by the Blood. Absolutely. You're born by the blood of your father. I'm borned again by the Blood of my Father, and by your--our Father, Christ. Yes, sir.
But you see, we don't believe that stuff. Because we baptize in the Name of Jesus Christ, don't make us Jesus Only; not at all. No, sir.
