<TITLE>13. Par 162-172</TITLE>L-162 I said, "Well, now, just remember, that the Lutheran was a latter rain to the Catholic. And Wesley was a latter rain to the Luther. And Pentecost was a latter rain to the Wesley. Mrs. McPherson was a latter rain to the Pentecost. It's all latter rains. Children gets hungry. If they can't find something to eat, they'll eat in a garbage can. But God will produce the Food if they're just ready to take It."

L-163 And Mrs. McPherson, that noble lady, raised up and she said, "That is true, Brother Branham." She come from a good, Pentecostal background. She said...

L-164 I said to Rolf, "As long here, that our Temple has far got away from that something that Mrs. McPherson was telling them about."

L-165 And they got to making doctors, and Ph.D. and LL.D., and what is it but a bunch of a million dollars' worth of sand, and white elephant on their hand? What you need is a return back to the principles and the sincerity of the Gospel, back to the real pentecostal thing that produces Christ in the life of the people." That's right. See? We, we get away from those real things.

L-166   And this rich man here saw that. And he knowed that Jesus had that. And He was asked, "How can I have it?" And Jesus told him, and the price was too great.

L-167 That's what the Assembles of God, Foursquare, Oneness, and all of them, is doing. "The thing, the price, is great."

L-168 We just come back to that sincerity of the Word, believe That, so God can vindicate Himself.
You say, "Will He do it?" Sure. He does it.

L-169 Your life will shine a lot louder than your testimony you could ever give. Your life is so--so loud till the people don't even understand your testimony. That's, where, sincerity and sacredness. Five good people, really filled with the Spirit, will do more in Phoenix than all the members we got, if they're consecrated to God, in a sincere life, 'cause God will move His Word through there and vindicate That to be Truth. And the first thing you know, things are happening. So you just... You can't hold it down.

L-170   Stephen was all He needed, to the Sanhedrin courts, the council that morning, was one man who could stand there with the Truth in his heart, where he knowed. And It said, "He shined like an Angel." See, he knowed what he was talking about. The Word was behind him. He told It, said, "Our fathers down in Mesopotamia," and so forth, and explained It to them. Said, "You stiff-necks, uncircumcised in heart, ears! You always resist the Holy Ghost. Like our fathers did, your fathers did, so do you." See? That man knowed what he was talking about. He put the Scripture out there, then it cost him his life. But he was sincere, because he knowed what he was believing, and God vindicated it.

L-171 And when they were stoning the little fellow to death, he raised up and he said, "I see Jesus standing at the right hand of God," when the clods was beating his little brains out. Yet, God... I don't believe he felt a lick of it. God had him huddled into His arms, and He rocked him in the cradle of peace until he went to be with God. He knowed. He, he knowed, and God was vindicating there. Even in his death, he saw Jesus standing at the right hand.

L-172   Daniel, knowing that the world was going to come into the church, and it did. But watch. He took out one of these Eternal Life policies with God, and he purposed in his heart that he would not mar his investment. Amen. That church, of that Business Men, if you people could only take that attitude, if you could only work to that end, that achievement, that you'll not defile this investment that you've made in Christ, with the things of the world, and the glamour.
