<TITLE>25. Par 269-283</TITLE>L-269 Sitting down here in that woods the other day, and the boys was wondering, said, "Here is two days, you ain't..." I didn't even shoot a squirrel. Said, "What was the matter?" See, that's what it was. See?

L-270 Said, "Place it upon them, upon them." Said, "You have talk--talked to Me about it." See? Now it's in your lap. It's in yours.

L-271   He won't recognize nothing but that Covenant, of the Holy Spirit. And you cannot receive that Covenant unless you are saved, sanctified, and then baptized into the Body. He will not.

L-272 You might have an impersonation, you might feel good, and jump up-and-down, speak in tongues, and dance in the Spirit. That don't have one thing to do with It. Hear It, in the Name of the Lord! God don't recognize that. Heathens do that. Witches do that.

L-273 You say, "I'm a scholar. I do this, that, or the other." He don't care how much scholar you are. The devil is, too, see.

L-274 He only recognizes the--the Token. That's the Message of the hour! That's the Message of this day! That's the Message of this time! In the Name of Jesus Christ, receive It!

L-275   Not a sub-... substitute, something the devil can place over on you; like a phony love, to make a man love some other woman besides his wife, or a wife some other besides, or some of this here something, dishonorable thing. That's not real love. That's the devil. That's his works. It's something he's tried to hand you, instead; a joy, to drink and feel good about it, say, "I got the blues; I'll go out and get me a quart of liquor, and forget about it." That's a death.

L-276 God is your joy. God is your strength. Knowing the Message, knowing the Truth, that's our sufficency now. He is my all-sufficiency. In Him, all things I have need of is in Him. That's our strength. "My help cometh from the Lord." You Christians, look to Him for your joy, look to Him for your strength, look for Him for your happiness. He is my peace. He is my joy. He is my love. He is my Life. That's a Covenant, the Token upon the door!

L-277   Not responsible for one person, one person, no matter who you are, He is not responsible, out from under It.

L-278 And remember, all the family was got, brought together. Oh, my! Oh, remember!

L-279 You say, "Well, my daddy is a preacher. My brother! My pastor! My..." That might be true, too, but what about you?

L-280 Remember, only safe when the token was displayed! If a man was here under here, and his son was across the street, he was in danger. He would perish. His daddy would be saved. Or, if the son was over here, and his daddy over there, his daddy would perish. Only the token! "When I see the token, I'll pass over you." That's the only thing.

L-281 You say, "Well, my son is a preacher." You mothers say, "I got the best boy, or the best girl. I tell you, they're the sweetest thing. They've been filled with the Holy Spirit, and such love! They're obedient. I never seen such!" What about you, mama?

L-282 You say, "My mother is the sweetest thing. I know, if she dies, she is going to Heaven, 'cause she's really got the Token, Brother Branham." But what about you, sis? The whole family must be brought under.

L-283   Are you tired? [Congregation says, "No."--Ed.] I'll... It's twelve o'clock... Just a minute. I could cut it off and start tonight again. ["No."] But if you--you want to wait just a little bit longer, I'll try to hurry now. ["Amen."] I'll place this right in. Cause, I think, right now while you're under the anointing of it, it'd be better if you'd get it right now. ["Amen."]
