<TITLE>09. Par 92-106</TITLE>L-92 That's what men and women ought to look for today, a promise of another exodus, and an interpretation of God's Word being made manifest.

L-93 Trouble of that, today, they say, "Well, my church don't believe This." What's the matter? You are living in a shadow of another age. Them churches was fine in their ages, but what about this age? This is another age.

L-94 You'd never make Wesley believe on Luther, there wasn't sanctification. No, sir.

L-95 You'd never make the Pentecostal believe on the Baptist, or like that, go back to that. They found something better. They lived in the light of their day.

L-96   And, today, Pentecost has organized and set right down like they did, it's exactly the same thing. And the Word is moving on, and It's moving right away from them. That's exactly right, 'cause we get so stiff and so starchy. We let our churches get in any kind of condition, go right on. "Long as we got members, that's all is necessary, 'cause we got more than we ever had." We blow about that.

L-97 Let me tell you something that's an old proverb, that, "The devil counts his crowd, but God weighs His."

L-98 That's true, too, yet today. God weighs you by His Word, see if you're found wanting or not. I don't care about crowds, how many, how unpopular It is. It's God's Word being made manifest for this hour. Exactly right. I don't care about crowds, and who comes and who doesn't. It's God's Word is at stake, like it was there in Pilate's judgment hall. Weigh It, and see what we have found, where we're found wanting. Yes, sir. We believe that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-99   We find out that He told Moses that, "I'll be with you, and I'll just use your mouth. You go speak the words as I tell you, and the signs will interpret themselves."

L-100 See, God don't need no interpreter. Oh, no, he mustn't be interpreter. God's interpret proves Himself. He said that He was the interpreter of His Own Word, and He is. He did it, by Moses, and He does it today. We know Him, in the Bible, as Elohim. Elohim is "the all-sufficient One." He needs nobody's advice. He stands alone. He is God, and He is the Word. And when the Word promises something, and makes It identified before you, what kind of an interpretation do you want outside of that?

L-101   Oh, sinful man or woman, who are you that could rise up and say that It's wrong? When God, with His Holy Spirit and promised Word, interprets It in the face of every one of us, who are we to say that it's wrong? Oh, sinful person, how could you do that? "'Sinful,' what do you mean by that, Brother Branham?" Unbelief! There is only one sin, that's unbelief. Need not man's silly interpretation!

L-102 He interprets His Own. "I am the Lord," He said, "I planted It; I'll water It, day and night, less some should pluck It from My hand." He also said, in another Scripture, that, "He watched over His Word, to perform It." Perform It, "reveal" It to (what?) His Elected, to those that it's sent to see, that's sent to see It, rather. He performs It to those who are sent to see, to see It.

L-103 He watches over It, keeps It away from all these foolish carnal interpretations, these things, that, "This is right, and that's right, and that's right." God is right, God's identified person!

L-104   All them Pharisees could have stood up, said, "We're of God! We have the laws. We have this." And there stood the Word, Itself. Said, "Away with It! Crucify It! It don't identify Itself with what we believe."

L-105 But It identified Itself with the Word. Amen. Those who had eyes to see, saw It. Those who were blind did not see It.

L-106 Neither will they do it today. That's all. They're going, done sealed themselves off, many of them, from away from It.
Oh, yes, by fulfilling It, showing It to be true!
