<TITLE>13. Par 111-120</TITLE>L-111 And Pharaoh looked out and seen those people that were lifting up their hands, and they'd take a whip and beat them to death because they were praying. They run a sword through them because they even failed, to disobey at anytime, and making them work till their little old bodies would fall out, and give them half enough to eat. "Well, they wasn't nothing but a bunch of fanatics, not hardly human."

L-112   And yet Moses, that faith in him, looked upon them, and he said, "They are God's blessed people." Amen. I like that. With such faith, his eyes didn't fall on the glamour of Egypt, it fell on the promise of God. His eagle eye of faith seen beyond the glamour of Egypt. He, remember, he's becoming an eagle now. He's a prophet, and his eagle eye raises above those things. Oh how I like that! Huh! My!

L-113 How oft' today, today, Christians rely on their senses, and of what they can see, or what they can understand, instead of their faith, to rely on what you see with your eye and the glamour. Like you women, I'm always calling to you, about you must let your hair grow out, you mustn't wear make-up, you must act like ladies and Christians. You look out upon the street and see the women today dressed immorally. Well, you think, "Well, she belongs to the church, why can't I do that?" See? "And she cuts her hair, why--why can't I do that? Well, she seems to be just as sweet and as much intellectual, and a personality that I haven't even got. Well, why can't I do that? I ought to do it." When you do that, you paralyze your faith. See? You don't give your faith a chance to grow. Start on that, as I have said.

L-114   Someone said, "Brother Branham, the country, the people, regard you as a prophet. You oughtn't to be bawling women out like that, and men out, for these things. You, you ought to be teaching them how to--to prophesy and receive gifts."

L-115 I said, "How can I teach them algebra when they don't even know their ABC's?" See?

L-116 Now just start from that. Clean yourself up so that when you walk out on the street you look like a Christian, anyhow, see, and then go to acting like one. See? And you can't do it within yourself. It's got to have Christ come within you. And if that seed is laying in there, and that Light hits it, it's going to come to Life. If it doesn't come to Life, there was nothing there to come to Life. Because, it sure proved it on others, see, it comes to Life immediately as soon as the Light hits it.

L-117   That's a rebuke to women, I know, that's listening in to this tape, or will listen in to it. It's a rebuke to you, sister. It should be. It should be, because it shows. I don't care what you've done; you might have been religious, all your life, you might have lived in the church, your father may be a minister, or your husband might be a minister; but as long as you disobey the--the Word of God, it shows there is no Life there. When you see the thing brought out, and the Life of the Holy Spirit, watch It when It strikes others. See what they do, if It brings it on them. No wonder why...

L-118 What a--what a rebuke to those Pharisees, that called Jesus, when He could perceive their thoughts, He called them, "Beelzebub."

L-119 And that little prostitute said, "Why, this Fellow is the Messiah. The Scripture says He'll do this." See, that predestinated seed was laying there. And when the Light struck it, it come to Life. You can't keep it down. You can't hide Life.

L-120 You can take and pour concrete upon a bunch of grass, and kill it in the wintertime. The next spring, where is your most grass at? Right around the edge of the concrete. Cause, that germitized seed under that stone, when the sun begins to shine, you can't hold it. It'll wiggle its way around through there and come right out at the edge of that and stick its head up to the glory of God. See, you can't hide life. When sun strikes botany life, it's got to live.
