<TITLE>14. Par 121-130</TITLE>L-121   And when the Holy Spirit strikes the Scriptural Life that's in a man, it brings forth its fruit right there. [Brother Branham snaps his finger--Ed.] See?

L-122 So regardless of how true and honest you are, how you say you're not, and speaking, saying they were... These women wearing these--these bad clothes and things out there, just a common strip tease, for the street. Though, you don't believe you are, you can't make you believe. You can prove that you're innocent of an adultery, but, in the Book of God, you're committing adultery. Jesus said, "Whosoever looketh upon a woman to lust after her, has committed adultery with her in his heart already." And you presented yourself in that manner. See, you can't see it unless that Life is laying there.

L-123 You look at somebody else, you look and say, "Well, I know Sister Jones. Brother Jones is a... He's a minister. His wife does this and does that."

L-124 I don't care what that does; This is the Word. Jesus said, "Let every man's word be a lie, and Mine be true." It's the Bible. And when that Light really strikes it, it's got to come to Life. It just has to come to Life.

L-125   Now, Moses' great eye, his eagle eye, looked beyond the glamour of Egypt.

L-126 The real Christian believer today, no matter what the church says, what anybody else says; when that Light strikes it, they see the very vindication of God, that Pillar of Fire hanging there, and the signs and wonders that promised, the Scripture being laid, and it comes to Life; no matter how little it is, and how many in the minority. God's group has always been the minority. See? "Fear not, little--little flock, it's your Father's good will to give you the Kingdom." See? They catch it. God is obligated to send them in from every denomination, every order everywhere, to see It, if they are ordained to Life.

L-127   Look at old Simeon, ordained to Life. When the Messiah come in the temple, in the form of a baby in his mother's arms; Simeon, back in a room somewhere, reading. The Holy Spirit raised him up, for he was waiting. That Life was in him. He said, "I'll not die until I see the Lord's Christ." And there was the Lord's Christ in the temple. The Holy Spirit led him from his duty, out, and walked down through there and picked that baby up, and said, "Let the--let Thy servant depart in peace, for my eyes see Thy salvation."

L-128 There was an old blind woman in the corner, by the name of Anna, who served the Lord day and night. She also was predicting, and saying, "The Messiah is coming. I can see Him coming." Yet, she was blind. At that same time, when He was there... That little Life that was in her, that was predicting, "It would be there! It would be there! It would be there!" Then, that same Life, the Light come in the building, in the form of a Baby, as "an illegitimate child," wrapped in His swaddling clothes, coming up through the building. And the Holy Spirit struck that old blind woman, and she come by the Spirit, led through the people, and stood over this Baby; and blessed the mother and blessed the Baby, and told what would be the future for It. See, ordained to Life! See?

L-129 Look at them, there wasn't a dozen of them. There was only eight souls saved in the day of Noah, hardly very many, but all that was ordained to Life come in at that time. See how the Holy Spirit works in each age, drawing the people.

L-130   Now we find out that Moses' faith led him to watch what would be, not what was. Look at tomorrow instead of today. Look at the promise instead of the glamour. Look at the people instead of the organization. See? God did that.
