<TITLE>12. Par 113-126</TITLE>L-113   If God hadn't have come on the scene, fifteen minutes the other morning before I left, this church wouldn't have been here but a little bit longer. Ask Brother Carlson. If the Lord God hadn't have spoke to me fifteen minutes before I come here, I would say, in the Name of the Lord, this church wouldn't be standing six months from now. You would be scattered like sheep. But the Lord God, in His mercy, spoke to me, not knowing one thing about it, and come told Brother Carlson. All at once there it unfolded, and there it was. Now here is Brother Carlson. See?

L-114 Oh, I'm so glad that, in the time of trouble, He is in the ship. Amen.

L-115   How blessed be the Name of the Lord! I wish I had words, I had the vocabulary, some kind of a word that I could express what He means to us. Yet, it's without word. We... He, He... The--the prophet said, "He's the Counsellor, Prince of Peace, Mighty God, Everlasting Father," and then he run out of words, he said, "He's wonderful." He didn't have any more titles he could give Him. "Counsellor, Prince of Peace, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Wonderful." Amen. Oh, how we praise that great, mighty Lord God Jehovah!

L-116   In the midst of idolatry, in the midst of worldly-ism, in the midst of all kinds of confusions and mix-up, we still have Him in the ship. Oh, in this day, in this day when religions don't know which a way to go; oh, how happy I am to know that that same God, with the same Shekinah Glory, same yesterday, today, and forever, is in the ship, knowing I've got to face (if He tarries) the valley of the shadow of death. No wonder David screamed out, "I'll fear no evil, for You're in the ship!" Amen.

L-117 Oh, how they could see this, so much that they had seen, was not able to express it all, of what they had seen. Now it dawned on them that He was laying right close to them.

L-118   Now He is a lot closer to you than He was then. Is that right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] "I'm with you now, but will be in you. A little while and the world will see Me no more, yet ye shall see Me; for I will be with you, even in you, to the end of the world."

L-119 "Brother Branham, can I rest assured on This?" Jesus said so! "How will I know it?"

L-120 "And the works that I do shall you do also." There you are. Do you believe it? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] All right, "The same yesterday, today, and forever!"

L-121 I think it's time, when trouble comes on, that we say, to those disciples who must have said, "Let's go wake Him. Let's go call Him. Let's call Him on the scene." Oh, my beloved brother, my lovely sister, I love you. And, remember, I'm telling you the Truth. If you've got trouble tonight, He is right at hand. He can be called on the scene, by just a move of your lips. He will come on the scene. Amen. Call Jesus to the scene! Wake Jesus, for we have Him with us, and He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-122   They had seen God's Scriptural Word vindicated by Him, so have we, and He was not hard to be called on the scene. He was just laying there waiting for them to call Him.

L-123 Now I wonder, tonight, if He just isn't laying right in your heart, waiting for you to wake Him up? That's right. Oh, I love that!

L-124 The people today say, "Well, now, if we could only know and be assured." We hear them say, say, "This is that, and this is that."

L-125 But This is That. This is That. Now, This is what He said, This is His Word. He and His Word are the same. Let His Word identify Him.

L-126 That's the way He said could prove He was God, because that the works that God give Him to do was done by Him. "If I do not the works of My Father, then don't believe Me." See? That's how it identified Him.
