<TITLE>20. Par 236-246</TITLE>L-236 He said, "I just simply couldn't move that log." He said, "I tussled, and I tussled and I tried to pick it up, and I just couldn't do it." He said, "I sapped all my strength out of me." He said, "I just couldn't move that log." And said, "Finally, I got so weak, I just set down against the tree and begin to wipe the perspiration off. I was just all wore out."

L-237 And said, "After while, I heard my boss's voice." But said, "It was the sweetest voice I ever heard." And said, "When I turned around, the voice said to me, 'Paul.' And I said, 'Yes, boss, what is it?' Said, 'What you tugging at it for?'" He said, "'Well, you commanded me to bring it down to the camp, and I've just wore myself out, with it. I just--I just can't do it, boss.' He said, 'Paul, don't you see that stream of water running right there?' Said, 'Yes.' Said, 'That stream comes right down to the camp. Why don't you just throw it in the water, jump on it and ride on down to the camp?' Said, 'I never thought of that.'"

L-238 So he just rolled it over in the water, jumped on it, said, "Oh, my!" He begin to splash water, and jumping, and screaming, top of his voice, as he went over the ripples, and down through the water, everything, riding on this log, going down, hollering, "I'm riding on it! Riding on it!"

L-239   He said, the first thing, he come to himself, he was right out in the middle of the floor, and his wife shouting with him. He'd holler, "I'm riding on it! I'm riding on it! I'm riding on it!" Brethren!
Nations are breaking, Israel awakening,
The signs that the Bible foretold;
Gentile days numbered, with harrows encumbered.
"Return, O dispersed, to your own."

L-240 This Message of God's Word is the Truth. Live or die, I'm riding on It. I don't... I'm not fussing with It. I'm not trying to fuss about It. I just took It, and I'm riding on It. Let the critics rise. I'll shoot every riffle. I'm coming into camp, one of these days, riding on the Word of God. Amen. I'm certain to arrive there.
Let us pray.

L-241   Why would you tuggle with your load of sin? Why would you be the condition you are, don't know where you're standing, running from church to church, and from place to place? Why don't you just pitch it in, on the cross, tonight, and ride on the Word? Why don't you just take God's promise tonight and ride on out of the mess, on out into the big blue, open like that? Don't tussle with It. Don't worry with It. Just believe It, accept it. It's a Kingdom that cannot be moved. Ride on It.

L-242   If you're sick tonight, take God's promise, "I'm the Lord that heals all thy diseases."

L-243 "How am I going to get well, Brother Branham? The doctor says I got heart trouble, I got cancer, I got this, that, ever what it is. I'm deaf, dumb. I'm blind." What, what difference does that make? Just accept God's promise and ride on it.

L-244 Let's take a great big stick, and drive it down here, and write on the top of it, "The prayer of faith has been prayed tonight. I'm going to ride on it. The Bible said, 'The prayer of faith shall save the sick, and God shall raise him up. If he has did sin, it shall be forgiven him.' I'm riding on it. I believe it."

L-245   If you've done wrong, if you're wayward tonight, "He that covers his sin shall not prosper. But he that will confess his sin shall have mercy." Why not confess it?
"Well, what must I do, Brother Branham?"

L-246 Confess it, and then ride on it. God said so. It'll take you right away from your sin.
