<TITLE>23. Par 159-167</TITLE>L-159   What if Jacqueline Kennedy... She did set the pace of women with all these waterhead haircuts and things that they have, all these sexy dresses, and like motherhood dresses and things. Every women in the country wants to wear them, you Pentecostals, too. Look, Jacqueline Kennedy never did hear a Message like this. If she would have heard It, she might have repented long ago. But you Pentecostal women hear It, day in and out, and year in and out, and still you do nothing about it! Hallelujah! God's going to get tired one of these days! God will get tired. Well, I know you think I'm crazy. Go ahead, it's all right. They thought that all down through the ages when the Word... See?

L-160   O warriors, pull that Sword, let's stand for everything that Sword stands for! Let's get to that Well where there is a Fountain filled with Blood, drawn from Immanuel's veins. Not a Jew. Immanuel's veins, God with us, where sinners plunged beneath the flood lose all their guilty stain.

L-161 "And there shall come forth a Ruler out of Bethlehem that shall rule over My people." The Holy Spirit today rules over the people, and the Holy Spirit is the Word. Is that right? Now, in closing, reverently. He rules the people. No matter what you think; you cope with the Word. If you don't, the Holy Spirit is not there; you bear record of your own testimony, no matter what you say. You could jump up-and-down, speak in tongues, and run all over the floor, still have bobbed hair and doing the things you're doing; it testifies against you, that it's not so.

L-162   Bethlehem dwellers, God bless you, let's go through! Christ wants a real Church. He wants a Bride. Let's cut our ways through. Get out of here, get these creeds away, that the real drinkers might come back and get a drink of real, cool pentecostal Water that once flowed from this great Well. It's still flowing. Won't you come today and believe that with all your heart, while we bow our head just a moment.

L-163 I got many things here I should speak on. Time won't permit it, it's eleven o'clock now. I wonder how many warriors in here, you ministers, Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Catholic priest, whatever you might be, you're convinced? I know I'm not a clergyman. I might have come out of the wilderness, with chopped up this, that and the other, but This is the Word. And you believe It's so, and you believe It's the Word, that's the Bethlehem. Jesus said, "Man shall not live by bread alone; every Word that cometh from the mouth of God." And the Word is here, the Bible. Man shall live by That, and He is that Word.

L-164   O warrior, will you pull the Sword of God and say, "I'm through with these traditions, I'm coming back to the Word, I'm coming back to Truth"? Women, men! Women, ain't you ashamed of yourself, the way you been doing? Are you willing this morning, at this Christmas, to come back and reflect the real Jesus Christ?

L-165 Now with your heads bowed and every eye closed, would you raise your hand, say, "Pray, Brother Branham. Truly I want to do that in my heart. I am, I believe it"? God bless you. My, ministers, women, everywhere!

L-166   In Bethlehem, Bethlehem, the place of the Bread and Water of God, Christ our glorious Bethlehem. How do we get into Him? I Corinthians 15, "By one Spirit we are all baptized into the mystical Body of Jesus Christ."

L-167 We feed upon His Word, not anything else, sheep Food alone! That Word! Nothing else. You can't put no creed in It, we won't listen to it. No, sir. You go to say, "Why, it's this way." If the Bible says it's This way, This is the way we want It. We don't want It seasoned up. We want It just the way It is.
