<TITLE>09. Par 36-38</TITLE>L-36 Now, I'm going to tell you the way back. If you want to come back, you must get inoculated. You must take God's balm, God's serum. He's got it. It's a double cure for sin: the Blood of Jesus Christ. God's own Son with the baptism of the Holy Spirit cleans you from sin and fills you for service. That's the way we have to come back is through those elements there. You don't have to do those things. You don't have to do it. And the very reason you do it...

L-37 Some minister said to me not long ago; he said, "Brother Branham, I truly believe that this baptism of the Holy Ghost that you speak of is the truth. I really believe that." He said, "My church teaches the baptism of the Holy Ghost, but we believe we receive the Holy Ghost when we believed. The moment we believe, that Abraham believed God, and he--was counted unto him for--imputed to him for righteousness."
I said, "That's true. But then God give him the seal of circumcision as the confirmation of his faith." I said, "If you've never received the Holy Ghost yet, God's never recognized your faith." That's right. We're the children of Abraham.
He said, "If I did that, though, Brother Branham... If I did that, then I'd be put out of my church."
I said, "What of it? I was."
And he said, "Well..." I said... "Well, I can't do that."
And I said, "Why can't you do it? Just tell me why you can't do it."
He said, "Well, well, I couldn't get any other meetings anywhere."
I said, "Nonsense. If God calls you to the Gospel, He's got a place for you to preach. He's got somebody that will listen to you. Certainly. There will be somebody who will listen. Stand on the street corner."
Say, "They will throw me in jail."
"Then preach to the jailer. (Sure.) Somebody..." Paul did it that way. They all got saved. Yes, sir.

L-38 You say you have to do it. No, you don't. The reason they do it, is because they haven't tested this inoculation. They haven't taken the toxin yet for it. There's something that'll cure that, that'll cure that scare you got. There's something that'll make you dress and act like a lady. There's something that'll make you live like a Christian. There's something that'll--that'll make you be so full of God till you stand to give a testimony that'll shake the shingles loose on top of the house, if you'll just take the inoculation. But you've got to take the toxin.
You got the disease, so there's only one thing to do, is take the toxin to get rid of it. That's the way to return back to normal Christian health. The church is sick. It's puny; it's anemia. It's got malignancy, and there's no earthly cure for it. Education won't do it. We've tried it. Denomination won't do it. We've tried it. You'll only make it worse. There's only one way back, and that's through the Blood of Jesus Christ, inoculation. Come back to Christ. Come back to the Holy Spirit. Come back to Life Eternal again. That's the way we would get back.
