<TITLE>26. Par 94-97</TITLE>L-94 And I said, "All right, doctor. Let me finish my story." I said, "Put a lie detector on your arm, and stand, and try your best to make a lie sound like the truth, and watch that needle go negative. Why? It's the vibration in your nerves. You wasn't made to lie; you were made to tell the truth. A lie is such a horrible thing, till it interrupts your nerves. You ain't made to be angry. You're supposed to be at peace, like a child, with God. See? You're not supposed to be flusterated. You're supposed to have faith, walk with God. See?" I said, "That's it."
I said, "Now, Doctor, if the--this man living in this first conscious can take the attitude that if he dies he's saved, so what difference does it make, it'll retire the case for a long time. What will it do when it drops out of that first conscious back into the second? On the baptism of the Holy Ghost, it'll take the case completely away."

L-95 That doctor raised up, and said, "Marvelous," tears running down his cheek.
I said, "Doctor, you know what's the matter?" I said, "Our churches don't teach that."
He said, "Mr. Branham, that's truth."
I said, "We need to get back to Pentecost."
He said, "I'm Presbyterian." Said, "My wife is Presbyterian."
I said, "You joined a Presbyterian lodge."
He said, "That's about it."
I said, "Doctor, a Christian is borned again. You can't go join. You've got to be born."
He said, "Mr. Branham, that's the truth," and tears begin to run down his cheeks. I'm going to baptize him pretty soon now. That's right.

L-96 What? If your flusterations will hold that up there, and your one conscious will drop it down, and make your body function right, what will it do when you let the Holy Spirit roll in? It'll perform everything that Christ promised. You become an instrument of the Holy Spirit.
When I was born, there was a Light hanging there. You got the picture here somewhere. That's truth. If I, dying over this platform, science has proved it the truth.
Now, to me, I'm a man, I'm nothing. I'm just your brother. There's nothing to me. But the Holy Spirit in predestination foreordained gifts; God has set in the church, not what some elder laid his hands on. God set in the church first apostles, then prophets, and so forth. God set them in there. They're Divine gifts foreordained of God.
Before Jeremiah the prophet was ever borned, God said, "I knowed you 'fore you was even in your mother's belly, and ordained you a--a prophet to the nations before you ever come out of the womb." Is that right? He had nothing to do with it. God does that. He's still God.

L-97 Now, you believe with all your heart. And you that's sick or have a need of God, just say, "Lord God, I've heard this message: astounding to me. I've heard this man claim that You're God, and You're right here in the midst of people." If He isn't, he told something wrong.
"Wherever two or three are gathered in My Name, there I am in the midst of them." Why? He's in you anyhow. And when He divided Hisself among you, it comes back to a unit again. Now, you have to be part of that unit to believe that this part of the unit can operate.
If He give me a ministry, He's got somebody will believe it, or there'd be no need of giving me a ministry. That's right. You believe with all your heart and see if God doesn't do the thing.
