<TITLE>19. Par 142-148</TITLE>L-142   I just learned from a little Greek scholar, sitting here looking at me now, come over from Greece, a scholar in Greek, and he begin to play my tape and he watched the Message. Said, I know that you haven't even got an education, but, Brother Branham, your Words and your Message run perfect with the Greek interpretation of the Bible." Said, "It's exactly right. What you said is exactly right." And he come to me, he was telling me, "The Laodicea means 'woman' in Greek." This is a woman's world, it's a woman's church, it's a woman's age. Several man wanted to... When did God ever get in that condition? Yes, are you ready to bring back a revival? Are you ready?

L-143 A woman said, "I have a right to do what I want to do. That's my American privilege." It's your American privilege, it ain't your God-given privilege, though. A sheep... A goat will always kick up a fuss, but a sheep stands still and forfeits its rights. See? If you're a real child of God, you'll forfeit your American rights to the Holy Spirit and let Him mold you and make you like you should be. "Once more, Lord." Oh, my!

L-144   Oh, church, leave Hollywood Delilah, she's going to kill you. She's choking the spiritual life out of you. Leave her! Your Hollywood showmanship on the platform, your Hollywood, your tinsels, our meeting has got to be so it's just got to be all in the great big like the rest of the world, got to be in the biggest churches. An evangelist come to town, you have to promise him so much money or he won't come. How ridiculous! Shows where your treasure is, your heart's there. Turn wholehearted to God and to His Word, and let's cry out, "Once more, Lord! Once more, show us Your Presence!"

L-145   Jesus said, "A little while, and the world," that's cosmos, I believe there--there, "the world order won't see Me no more, yet ye shall see Me," the believer, "for I'll be with you, even in you, to the end of the age. The works that I do shall you also. More than this shall you do, for I go unto My Father. He that believeth in Me, the works that I do shall he do also." Not make-believeth; but believeth. Oh, church, we believe Jesus is not dead, He's raised from the dead. He's right here now. If I didn't have that support, I wouldn't say what I say. And I know He's here. And He proves Hisself here. He's always here to vindicate His Word. If He stood here tonight, what would He say? He'd come right back to the Word again, saying the same thing that He did say.

L-146 Now, you say, "Was that Jesus talking?" Well, if it wasn't, I sure wouldn't want to say it. Certainly! "How can it be proved?" Bow your head a minute.

L-147   Heavenly Father, Your servants can speak all they desire to speak, and we might bring Truth ever so clear to the people, but still it's merely just an emotion. It's still just the lips of a human being speaking to congregation. And, Lord, You are Supernatural. And wherever You are, there's Supernatural signs, there's miracles performed, things that cannot be explained. When You were here on earth, You walked up and down among the people, You healed the sick. A woman touched Your garment one time, and You turned around, and said, "Who touched Me?" You did not know, Yourself. "Who touched Me?" But the God that was in You, You knew the secret of the heart, because the Bible says, "The Word of God is stronger and sharper than a two-edged sword, a discerner of the thoughts of the heart." And You looked down, the little woman couldn't hide herself, and You told her her faith had saved her.

L-148 You said, "I do nothing till the Father shows Me first. The Father worketh, and I worketh hitherto." If You were here tonight, You'd do just as the Father showed You to do.
