<TITLE>14. Par 155-168</TITLE>L-155 O God, let it dawn on some of us again. Let it come to pass, Lord, that it can be dawn, it can dawn on us.

L-156 That's the very God that took you, separated you from your mother. The very God that give you the Holy Spirit! He's just as much God right now as He was when--when He--when He gave you the Holy Spirit. He's just as close to you as He was right then. Just exactly. You must remember, He's always there, always. That's right.

L-157 It dawned on some of them that the Creator was with them in the boat.

L-158   I wonder tonight if the sick people, being I'm going to talk to the sick in a moment, if it can dawn on you that the very God that you trust in, the Creator of heavens and earth, Who made your body, is right here. He's just as great tonight as He ever was. He's God. He cannot get any less and ever remain God, as long as He's God.

L-159 You say, "Is that true, Brother Branham? Is that the Scripture?"

L-160 Hebrews 13:8, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever." Yeah. He's the same.

L-161 So what ought to be our plea tonight, Brother Groomer, Brother Noel? What is our plea? Wake Jesus. If there's trouble around, let's--let's get Him on the scene. Amen. Wake Jesus, for we have Him with us. He's with us, sure, He is, just the same as He ever was. They had just seen the Scripture Word that God spoke of Him, vindicated by Him. So have we.

L-162   You know, on the Day of Pentecost, Peter, inspired with the Holy Ghost, stood up there. And the people was all laughing, making fun of that little handful of Jews out there, stammering, and spitting, and slobbering, and acting like a bunch of drunk people. And those big religious people standing there, saying, "Why, these men are full of new wine."

L-163 And Peter stood up, and they was pricked at their heart when they heard that sermon that preacher preached. He really laid the Gospel down. He said, "You men of Judaea, and you that dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known unto you, and hearken unto my words. These are not drunk, like you suppose, seeing this is the third hour of the day. But this..." "Perhaps"? No. "This is that that was spoke of by the prophet Joel. 'It shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I'll pour out My Spirit upon all flesh: upon my sons and my handmaids and maidservants will I pour out My Spirit. I'll show wonders in the heaven above, and fire and smoke. And--and upon my maidservants, and they shall prophesy; and your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions." Right?
And they said, "What can we do? How can we get This?"

L-164   He said, "Repent, every one of you, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." And we be told by others that that ended it. But they, that's... If you'd stop there, that would end it. But go on, what He said. "For the promise is unto you, your children, them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call."

L-165 In the face of a cold denominational world, we prove that's the Truth. Amen. If that part of the Word is true, the rest of It's true. Yeah. They'd seen the Scripture vindicated by Him. We have, too.

L-166   He was not hard to call on the scene of action. It's very easy to call Him. Watch Him when He comes on action, though. That's what I like, to see Him when He comes in to the crowd of the people. Watch Him when He...
They said, "Master, we perish."

L-167 He rubbed his eyes, said, "You of little faith, why did you doubt? Haven't you seen all that I've done? Haven't... Hasn't--haven't the Scripture been proved by Me? All the Scriptures pointed to Me. And you've said, all along, you believed Me. 'Yes, Lord, we believe You. We'll do this, that, or the other.' And when the little trouble comes up, then away you go."

L-168 Isn't that us today? Sure is. Right. Yeah. "You said you believed Me, but why didn't you? What did you doubt for?"
