<TITLE>09. Par 75-87</TITLE>L-75 You say, "Well, I don't believe all..." Well then, that... you're just an unbeliever, that's all. If the Bible said so, that makes it right, that settles it Eternally. What the Bible said, is the Truth.

L-76 Notice where He said to us, "If ye abide in Me, and My Word in you." Saint John 15, "If ye abide in Me,..." See, have faith in Him. "Ye abide in Me, and My Word abides in you, then you ask what you will."

L-77   Now, see, He knew who He was, therefore He had faith. Faith could produce when He knowed what He was. Now, "If ye abide in Me, and My Word in you," then you know who you are. "Ask what you will, it'll be given to you."

L-78 Wouldn't that be wonderful, tonight, if everybody come in that prayer line, say, "I am a Christian. I have no condemnation. I--I know that my heart condemn me not. Something tells me that tonight's the end of my suffering"? That, you're going to do. You'll go away here with something. No matter how much you come in emotion, how much you do, it won't work until that Perfect Faith has manifested and identified itself in you, as a substance. And when it's there, then nothing's going to shake you from it.

L-79   If--if you had cancer, and the doctor told you yesterday that you'd be dead before Monday morning, (all your heart, your respiration's gone, the cancer's eat you up, your bloodstream's become completely cancer, whatever it is); and Something come with this substance of this genuine faith, Perfect Faith was made a substance in you, you'd laugh in that doctor's face.

L-80 You'd be like old Elijah, when he walked up-and-down before the idol, and said, "Won't you call a little louder? And maybe he's pursuing." He knowed what he was going to do, because God had told him what was going to happen. He said, "Let the god that answers by fire, be God."

L-81 They say, "We'll take that proposition." And they poured water upon the altars. And they--they cut themselves, and they done everything, and called, "O Baal! O Baal! Answer!"

L-82   Elijah was just as calm as he could be. He said, "Call a little louder," said--said, "maybe he's pursuing. Maybe--maybe he's on a fishing trip. Maybe he's doing something else, you see. He's out somewhere." They just... Just made fun of them, because he knew it's going to happen.

L-83 Oh, watch when he got everything in order. He walked out there and said, "Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel!" He never called him now his name Jacob, "shyster." He called him Israel, "prince with God."

L-84 "Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and of that Prince (Jacob), let it be known today that I am Your servant; and I have done this, not at my desire, not at my make up, but at Your command I have did this; Your will, You told me what to do. You showed me these things would be here. Now, I've poured the water upon the altar. I've done all these things according to Your command. Now, let it be known!" And when he said that, fire fell from the heavens. He was just as confident it was going to fall, because he had the substance. Why? The Word said so.

L-85   Now, this same Bible is the same God's Word. And when you can receive the substance (that's Perfect Faith); substance that this promise that God made is yours.

L-86 "How do you feel, Brother Branham, when you stand there and you see people coming in different languages and things? Are you afraid?" No, sir. No, sir. He said so! Never been afraid yet, 'cause He told me so, and I believe that it's Truth.

L-87 If He told me tonight, to go to the presidential graveyard and raise up George Washington tomorrow morning, I'd invite the whole world, "Come and see it done." I'd say, "Bring every... get--get every critic you can and stand them around, you're going to see the Glory of God. Set that chair over here where you can set down and rest a little while; he'll be here just in a moment, soon as I call."
