<TITLE>33. Par 242-245</TITLE>L-242 Now, I want to ask you something, the Branham Tabernacle. You're fixing to grow into a big Tabernacle now. I may be away for a while. I may go somewhere: hard to tell where the Lord will call me; maybe off the scene, maybe back into the field; maybe He might call me into the wilderness. I don't know where He'll call me till Jesus comes. I want to ask you something. Did I ever ask you for anything? Did I ever beg you for money? Did I ever tell you anything, of the thousands of things that I have told you in the Name of the Lord, but, didn't it come to pass? Then don't never join an organization. It's against the Word of God. Come out of it if you're in it, and be ye separate and receive the Word of the Lord. Let's bow our heads.

L-243 Great God of the prophets, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, add virtue, Lord, to this little chopped up message that's been on my heart for a long time to go to my brethren. Many of those out there, Lord, has the wrong impression of me. They think that I want to be different. They think that I'm trying to be a know-it-all. They've told the people that I deceive the people, especially on such subjects as the water baptism in the Name of the Lord Jesus, and upon the serpent's seed, the great harlot, and in many of those tapes that's went out with nothing but unadulterated Truth. And I've asked them, "Some of you come and show me where I sin, or disbelieving, or misinterpreting the Word." And none has showed up. I pray Thee, Father, let these men know that they are missing the hour. They are going to wait too late, if they don't watch. May they, every one...

L-244 Lord, I am sure of this. My heart would break if this Scripture wasn't real to me, when You said, "All that the Father has given Me will come. My sheep hear My Voice." Then, Lord, I guess the Kingdom is truly as You said; I know it is. It is like unto a man that took a net and went to the lake, cast in the net and pulled every kind. There was, no doubt, scavenger fish, there were turtles, water spiders, serpents, everything that the Gospel net caught. But finally by and by, the crawfish backed into the water again; the turtle pulled away; the serpent hissed and took back to the mud-hole, like a dog to its vomit or a hog to its wallow. But there was real fish there, Lord. And I have this consolation of knowing, that even before the net went over them, they were fish then. They were born, predestinated fish. And so is the Gospel net that catches out into the revivals. You know Your Own. The only thing I'm responsible for, Father, as far as I know, is stay true to this Word. You are the One Who do decide which is which. And I know that no more than the turtle could become a trout, so could a man or a person that has deaf ears to the Gospel, ever understand the Truth. For the Father has foresaw this, and You have promised that all that He give You would come.

L-245 Heavenly Father, I pray Thee that every person that hears this little message, that the Light that it's been preached in, and the meaning that I have in my heart towards my fellow men, people who You died for. And men, some of them out there, Lord, like in Korah's bunch, genuine men, falsely led, with a holy censer in their hand, but perished. Why, they wouldn't even let the censer of fire go in with them; Aaron's son, Eleazar, had to gather it up. And they made a banner for the altar out of those kettles, a shield to show, and to be a memorial of that awful thing, that Korah tried to form an organized party against the messenger of God. Far be it from us, Lord. May the Holy Spirit always protect us.
