<TITLE>03. Par 22-38</TITLE>L-22   I hope, if the Lord tarries, I get to come back and be with you some time, again. If I never see you again; when I meet you there at the Judgment Seat of Christ, where we'll all meet, remember, I have told you the Truth. I'll still be saying that when I meet you There. Until then, may the Lord bless you, richly.

L-23 Pray for me. I need your prayers. I'm not as young as I was then. That's about twelve, fourteen years ago.

L-24 And somebody asked me the other day, said, "How old are you, Brother Branham?"

L-25 I said, "Just past twenty-five." I said, "Twenty-five years ago I--I passed it." And I... you don't... You--you can tell it. A man only...

L-26 When you are born, you start growing, like a candle, or burned. You are lit, but you grow until you're about twenty-two to twenty-three. I don't care how well you take of yourself, you start dying right there, and you keep getting lower and lower till it burns out.

L-27 I asked, in a Kiwanis one day when I was speaking, I said, "I want somebody..."

L-28 A doctor told me, said, "I cannot believe the story of Christ, because I can't believe the virgin birth." He said, "I don't believe there is such a thing.'"

L-29 I said, "The natural birth is more mysterious to me than the virgin birth."

L-30 The natural birth, to see how it happens, and how it's decided, when that's pollened, which egg, when there is thousands of germs and thousands of eggs. Not the first two meets, that settles it, but maybe... You say, "Well, if two in front." Oh, no. See, it'll stand. One maybe will raise up, the germ from the very back of the sperm, on this side, and the middle one of the egg it decides whether it's going to be a girl or a boy, black-headed, red-headed, blue eyes, or whatever it's going to be. Something makes that decision. The rest of them is done away with.

L-31   It's so mysterious to see the work of God, and then to see people with the little finite mind, like we are, try to deny His great works!

L-32 This fellow said to me, well, he "couldn't believe anything that couldn't be scientifically proved."
I said, "Do you believe you've got a soul?"
He said, "Sure."

L-33 I said, "Then scientifically prove me you got one." I said, "You--you believe that there is such a thing as love?"
He said, "Sure."
I said, "You love your wife?"
"Yeah."

L-34 I said, "Then you show me, scientifically, of what part of you is love. I want to buy some. I'll go to the drugstore, wherever they sell it. I need a whole lot of it. I'd like to buy some love." See? The...

L-35 All the whole armor of God is supernatural. Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, meekness, patience, and the Holy Ghost. See? Every armor of the believer is looking at the Unseen, believing what is said. See? You don't see what you believe. See? You don't. You don't see it, anyhow. You look it, with your eyes; you see with your heart. See? You look at anything, say, "I just don't see it," you mean you don't understand it. See?

L-36   So I asked him this, I said, "If I had a jug of water, and I set a glass here. And I'm pouring water out of this jug, into the glass, and it gets half full; and then I just keep pouring water, and then it starts going down. Scientifically tell me where the water is going." See?

L-37 I said, "When I was a little boy, sixteen years old, I eat the same food I eat right now, beans, bread, potatoes, meat." I said, "Every time I eat, what did it do? It built blood cells. I got bigger and stronger, all the time, and when I got about twenty-two. I eat more and better now than I did then, 'cause I didn't have it then to eat. But I eat more and better than I did, now I'm getting older and weaker. And, yet, that food builds blood cells. I'm adding new life all the time, and going down all the time." It's an appointment. We're going to keep it, that's with God. That's right. We're going to.

L-38 You can't scientifically prove God. You just believe God, and you believe Him according to His Word.
