<TITLE>22. Par 150-158</TITLE>L-150   I don't care about how much tinsel they got, "You got to do this or were going to close up your church you're with." I don't care what they close up, and has nothing to do with the Word. Yes, sir. Where you going? Just exactly what the Word said you was doing, going right back, all dressed in worldly tinsel, with all kind of worldly promises, but it's away from the Word a million miles. There it is today, Christmas again, to keep us from the promise of the Word. But It shall be fulfilled. God's able of these stones to rise children to Abraham. Ah, trying to keep the real, true Bethlehem dwellers away from Eternal Life, that's their purpose.

L-151   Rise, ye sons and warriors, let's cut back to our original Bethlehem! Remember when David come to his throne. These men stood by him because he knowed, they knowed he was coming to the throne. They knowed that David was going to be on the throne, no matter how much he was rejected out. He was the worst fugitive in the land. And so is the true Word of God, this morning, It's foreign to organizations. Look what they done. That shows it right before you.

L-152 People try to say, "Brother Branham, you're knocking the church." I'm knocking them systems. The Church is Jesus Christ, not a system.

L-153   And today, look what they've done, look what they're doing. And you can see what they're doing, they're trying to keep the people from That. They're garrisoning more and more around that Well, to be sure that nobody will drink from It. But, O warriors of God, I believe that Jesus Christ will come someday in glory, I believe He'll come and sit on the Throne of His Father David. Though He be a fugitive, His Word this morning, rejected by His Own people like David was, the organizations turned out His Word, they turned out, when God comes and vindicates His pure Word. Don't tell me! For years, across the country, and they get farther, away from It all the time.

L-154   I said the other day, about Jacqueline Kennedy, how many times I've rebuked you women for cutting your hair, wearing makeup, you Pentecostal women cutting your hair, which God said it's you--you--you make yourself a--a street harlot when you do it. And, according to God, your husband has no right to live with you any longer. A woman that cuts her hair, dishonors her head, which is her husband. That's exactly. What do I say about it? And you call me out on it, I get the letters, "You old crank." All right, they called Elijah the same thing. They called every Word of God, every time the Word is made, call It.

L-155   Somebody said the other day, "Why, we believe you to, be a prophet."

L-156 I never said that, I don't tell. I ain't no prophet, I'm just God's servant here trying to tell you the Truth. That's all. Let me tell you, the Word of God stands for that! He said, "The daughters of Zion, the branch that escaped in that day of all its contamination, it'll be glorious in the sight of the Lord." Cut through, women, you got your place to cut through, worldly Hollywood and picture shows, and all this television stuff that you try to pattern after, dress yourself sexy out on the street.

L-157 And someone said, "Why, the people want you to teach them how to receive the Holy Ghost and how to get..."

L-158 Say that you got the Holy Ghost, and then deny the Word? Your own life proves you haven't got It. See? Now, I'm not angry, I'm just telling you what's the Truth. Look at yourself and find out. Paul said, "If an angel from Heaven taught anything else, let him be accursed," Galatians 1:8. That's right.
