<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>62-1104E, Ordination, Branham Tabernacle, Jeffersonville, IN, 46 min
L-1 He's God, that's all. He's omnipresent (See?); He's everywhere. I just thought I'd leave it hanging, see how it took a hold, you know. He's omnipresent. He... That makes Him God, 'cause it's... God alone can be omnipresent. So He said, "The Son of man which now is in heaven..." See? "No man has ascended up but He that come down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven." There He was standing on top of a house, yet in heaven. See? He's omnipresent. That makes Him God. That's only thing that can be omnipresent is God.

L-2 Now, tonight I just got the very heel of Brother Neville's wonderful message to the church. The Lord blessed it and add to it. And as he left you hanging there on meditation, that's good. Keep that in your heart all the time.
And now, we're going to have communion tonight, and that's the time that we all enjoy, I'm sure. I think it's the delight of the Christian's heart is to know that he is coming to keep a commandment that Jesus left us.
There's two commandments that Jesus left us, two material things: one of them is the communion service, and the other is water baptism. Otherwise there's no touch, handle, nothing else left in it. See? Just... No penance, and dragging on your knees, and all these other kind of things, it's--it's just water baptism and communion. So we're always happy to come to this.
And I believe the Bible said, "Blessed is he that does His commandments. You have a right to enter into the Tree of Life, or into the city, the holy city. For without are dogs, whoremongers, and so forth, which is to be cast away."
And then, the communion service is always a real strict one, because it brings us to a showdown (See?), as we'll read in a little while in the Scripture.

L-3 We have a Brother Brown setting here tonight, Brother Dauch, Brother Brown, and Brother McKinney. I can't think of the other brethren's name setting over there, but we're glad to have them from up in Ohio. I see Brother Pat Tyler here, and Brother Stricker back there, the ministers of the Gospel which is behind me; Brother Collins also, and Brother Hickerson. Now, Brother Stricker, how is the wife's finger? Doing all right. Uh-huh. She had an accident and called me the other night. And time I got in from other calls, it was around twelve or one o'clock, and I didn't call her at that time. The next morning...
She'd been sewing, and somehow another rammed the needle down through her hands, and cupped around the bone, or something another. She tried to pull it out like this, out of the sewing machine (power machine), and trying to pull it out, broke it off this way, and tried to get it with her teeth. The little lady tried to pull it with her, broke it off the other place in her hand.
And she said, "Just pray, and it'll be all right."
I like that real faith to hold there to that spot. I like that. Sister Stricker's a lovely little Christian. And I don't see her here tonight, so I can just talk about her. Is... Oh, well, I better keep still as she is here too. All right. Well, we think you are, anyhow, Sister Stricker.

L-4 Now, Brother McKinney has requested, I believe, here some time ago (that we are sorry, Billy Paul just reminded me of it), that of ordination, or otherwise Scriptural ordination from the Tabernacle. Is that right, Brother McKinney? Did I understand it right? Now, it's... license is given... Now, this morning I didn't know I was going to be here to speak, but after coming here (and our brother here is full of grace and love asked me to come and to speak), and we brought out what church was, and what the baptism of the Holy Ghost was, and who has it, and who does not have it, and how do you know when you got it. See? So if you didn't get the message, then the boys, they got the tapes there. They can go to our church, 'cause it's strictly doctrine, all the way through.
