<TITLE>14. Par 130-146</TITLE>L-130 Notice, after he died, he was way up in the wilderness, he needed pallbearers. God provided Angels. Why? Because no man on this earth could take him where he was going. Had to take somebody to pack him over There, and took Angels along Home.

L-131   Enoch needed a ladder, one day. He had walked five hundred years with God, and had pleased Him. He needed a ladder. God provided him a highway, walked right up Home.

L-132 Elijah needed a robe, one time, and God give him a chariot with horses to it. Oh, my!

L-133 Samson needed a spear, and God give him a jaw bone of a wild mule, and he beat down a thousand Philistines with it.
God provides your needs. God has a way.

L-134 What if Sam--what if Samson said, "Now wait a minute. This jaw bone isn't sharp. It isn't a spear. Look at them big thick helmets on them Philistines"? He just took God's provided way, and beat right into it.

L-135 That's all you need, is to take what God says. And go to beating with it, just as hard as you can, you'll get yourself free after a while. Yes, sir. Yes.

L-136   Joshua needed a bridge. God provided a--a power, a flood gate, spiritual flood gate that held back Jordan, so he could go on and fulfill God's Word, the promise. He needed a bridge.

L-137 Daniel needed a fence, to keep the lions off of him. God give him an Angel. See, that's God's provided way. What needed, God provided, and God provided it in His Own way.

L-138 Now what if Daniel would have said, "Now wait a minute. I could think of a better way than that Pillar of Fire standing here before me now. That, that lion, might not have any effect upon him. He might come right on through that Pillar of Fire. If You'll just get me a great big fence and fence me in"? See, that would have been Daniel trying to do something.

L-139 But he just accepted God's provided way, laid down and went to sleep, and slept all night, just in peace. God provided a way. Yes, sir. Oh, my!

L-140   The Hebrew children needed some water, a fire hose down there, to put out all that fire when they jumped in there. But God provided them a fourth Man. Yes, sir. That's all they needed.

L-141 What if say, "Now wait a minute, just somebody else to go in there, that won't help. We got to have a fire hose to put all this out"?

L-142 They accepted God's provided way, and He kept the fire off of them. There wasn't even the smell of fire on them. They went God's provided way.

L-143 The wise men needed a compass to guide them to the new-born Babe, but God provided a Star. See? They took the Star. That's all they needed.
The world needed a Saviour. God provided a Son. Amen.

L-144   The church needed power. God provided the Holy Ghost. He didn't provide a book of ethics. He didn't provide a Christian government. He provided the Holy Ghost. That's what God provided. He never said, "Go up there and study up at Jerusalem up there, until I get a certain amount of education in you, till I in-documate you, and so-and-so." He said, "Wait until you're endued with Power from on High. After the Holy Ghost has come upon you, then you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem, Samaria, in Chicago, Illinois, and so forth, see, all the world." That is God's provided witness, is the Holy Ghost. God didn't provide a book of ethics. He did not provide a denomination.
They said, "We want to become full Christians."

L-145 "Well, now you wait till you study so long, wait till you learn the creeds"? He never said learn anything. He said, "Wait till you're filled." Amen.

L-146   Someone said the other day, said, "Why, Mr. Branham, don't you believe in denominations?"
