<TITLE>14. Par 140-154</TITLE>L-140   Listen close while I make this closing remarks. If Satan tries to hand you some of this stuff, like sickness, you know what you do? Just show him the Token. "I am a purchased product. My healing has been paid for. I am a product of God, because I have the Token of the Holy Ghost. You cannot keep me off of this Highway. You cannot keep me from my health. I present the Token and show you that my... 'By His stripes I was healed.' Here is the resurrection of Jesus Christ, right in me now, to prove it to you." Oh, there is the real thing! There is the Token.

L-141 That's the reason people don't believe It. That's the reason it's hard for them to see in. The Token has never been applied. See, that's the reason, say, "Oh, days of miracles has passed." You're doing that for a blind.

L-142   Jesus said, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; he that believeth not shall be damned. These signs shall follow them that believe." How far? "To all the world, to every creature." "In My Name they shall cast out devils; they'll speak with new tongues; take up serpents; or drink deadly things, it won't harm them; if they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover." Apply the Token, and then claim your rights. Shake It before Satan!

L-143   The bus driver says, "Say!" The airplane man says, "Say! You can't get on this plane."
"There is the token." Amen!

L-144 "You are too ragged. You're not... You're rags. You're too poor. We don't take little man, big man."

L-145 "But I hold the token." Amen! "You can't keep me off of it." Hallelujah! "When they give me the token, that settles it."

L-146 I have a right, as the rest of them have. I have a right, just the same as Paul had. I have a right, the same that any man was ever baptized with the Holy Ghost. I got the same right, because I got the same Token, to show the same God purchased by the same Thing for me, at the same day, on the same thing.

L-147   There you are, the Blood, the Blood! The Token, not the Blood chemistry, but the Token, the Holy Ghost, the Life out of the Blood, that comes. What does that Life does? Comes and confirms what the Token has been purchased for. The Token confirms what the--the Blood bought for you. The Blood purchased your redemption. The Token is an evidence of It. The Blood, "He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquity; chastisement of our peace upon him; with his stripes we were healed." See, all Blood, Blood, Blood! Then when the Token comes, It shows that you've been identified with that Sacrifice. Amen! The devil can't keep you from it.

L-148   That's when I stand at the platform here, to face everything there is, and around the world, and devils. God's Word promised it. As long as I can know that Blood has been applied, and holding that Holy Spirit here in my heart, the devil has not one word to say against it. Yes, sir.

L-149 "We'll walk where the apostles have trod," yes, sir, because the Token paid the way. The Token is the evidence that the way has been paid, and we've accepted It. And, to prove it, God gave us the Token, the sign that we was received.

L-150   A minister said to me one time, said, "Brother Branham, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness."
I said, "That's true."
Said, "What more can a man do but believe?"
I said, "That's exactly right."

L-151 "Then where do you get this Holy Ghost, outside of believing?"

L-152 I said, "But He give him the seal of circumcision, as a confirmation of his faith." Amen.

L-153 And if He has never give you the baptism of the Holy Ghost, yet, then He hasn't confirmed your faith that you say you have. But the Token is the confirmation.

L-154 I say, "I got the money, I paid it in the office down there!" But you've got to show the token. That's right. When I show the Token, I got a right.
