<TITLE>20. Par 158-165</TITLE>L-158   The winds, now, remember, God created the winds; it's air. God created the waves; it's water. But when the Devil got into it, he got it tumbling, to bring destruction. God created men, to be sons of God, but when the Devil gets into them, see, it's trouble. Now, that was the Devil that got into the winds that sent that storm. Couldn't the Creator, that created the wind, say, "Go back where I created you"?
Isn't that the same Creator was standing on Colorado hill the other day? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] See?
Isn't that the same One that could take a piece of fish and break it, and another piece grow on? He didn't actually have to have that. He could have said it.
Isn't that the same Creator that created squirrels? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Then, He that was in Christ is in us, see, for It does the same works He did, the same thing.
The dead could not stand in His Presence, at His Word.

L-159   Look, we have five bona-fide statements, of people "dead," and the Lord giving vision, and going to them and raising them back. Here sets one, right here now, that died right where he is setting right there. And here he is alive, tonight; fell in a heart attack. There is his wife, a nurse. We went down; everything was gone, his eyes set, and gone. Here he is, alive. "For greater is He that's in here, in us, than he that's in the world!" See?

L-160   Greater is He! It's God, the Creator! The winds and the waves had to obey Him. Demons become paralyzed. All nature obeyed Him, because He was the Creator of nature. Oh, when we think that, it takes the bite out. Then we understand these things, you see. What is it? It isn't man. Man cannot do that; man is part of the creation. See? But it's the winds and the waves that obeys the Creator. See?
And takes the Creator to do it, "For He that's in you is greater than he that's in the world." He that can cause the turmoil, that's he that's in the world. He that's in you, is the Creator, Who made the winds. He can rebuke the Devil out of the winds, and there is a calm. He can rebuke the Devil out of the storm, and there is no storm. He's the Creator. "And greater is He that's in you, than he that's in the world." See?

L-161   The Devil is of the world. The world belonged to him. It's always been his. "Why art thou fallen, O Lucifer, the son of the morning?" See, this world belonged to him. That's when he, kicked out of Heaven, he come back to it. See?

L-162 He was the one who said to Christ, "These kingdoms are mine, I do with them as I will." They belong to him, and he is the one that's "in the world."

L-163 John had just told the disciples, "You've heard of antichrist who is to come, and is already here working in the children of disobedience. But, little children, you're not of this world. You're of God. And greater is He that's in you, than he that's in the world." That's Christ in you!

L-164   He that--that created the heavens and earth, was made manifest in the Person of Jesus Christ; God in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself.
Let's say you say, "That was the Son of God, though, Brother Branham." All right, let's find out if He is the Eternal, everlasting God.

L-165 Greater was He that was in Joshua, than the sun. And Joshua was a man, sin-born, like you and I. And greater was He that was in Joshua, and in the sun that was running by the commandment of God. God commanded that sun to shine and turn itself around, and it's governed and controlled by the laws of God. But greater was He that was in Joshua, than the laws of God was; because the Creator, Himself, was in Joshua when Joshua looked up to the sun and said, "You stand there where you're at. And, moon, you hang there where you're at, till I finish this battle." And the sun and the moon obeyed him, for He that was in Joshua was greater than the--the sun and the moon. He that was in Joshua!
