<TITLE>07. Par 67-79</TITLE>L-67 Moses, no one else could take his place. No one else could do the job. He was ordained to do it.

L-68 And, brethren, sister, if you've got Eternal Life, you were ordained to do a certain thing. Maybe a good housewife, maybe something else, but nobody can take your place. God has made you a place. Don't try to take somebody else's place. That's carnal impersonations, see, shows there is something wrong with you. Be what you are, just exactly. Don't be nothing else.

L-69   Now, now we find out that God gave Moses the signs to prove claims and callings.

L-70 And every true sign, every true sign, that's sent from God, the... has a voice behind it. Now don't fail. This is my last lesson on this, see. Every true sign... Now we have signs that's not from God; Satan can almost impersonate anything that there is. But a true sign, sent from God, has the voice of God behind it.

L-71 God said to Moses, "If they won't believe the voice of the first sign, then do this other sign before them. And then if they won't hear that, just take water and pour it upon the ground." And that was a sign that they would be drenched there in their own blood.

L-72 Notice, and just the same as He said, "Dust the dust from your feet. It'd be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah, that day, than it will be for that city that rejects you."

L-73   Now we're not playing Church. This is Church. Christ is the Church. We are in Christ. The mythical Body of Christ, we're born into It. You can't join It.

L-74 I've been with the Branham family for almost fifty-five years, and they never did ask me to join the family. I was born a Branham.

L-75 And that's the way you're a Christian. You are borned a Christian, not joined into it. You are borned in it. Everybody is afraid of the birth. They have some nice clean way of taking a little hand, or signing a little card, or a saltshake with some water in it. That's not the birth. A birth is a horrid thing. A birth is a--an awful thing. I don't care if it's in a pig pen, or a--or a barn stall, or in a pink decorated hospital room; a birth is a mess, and it makes a mess out of you. You don't want to give up, you don't want this, that, or the other, but the tears will wash the paint off your face and make you a different person. If you're born again, it'll make a mess out of you, but you'll come forth a new creature. See? They don't want that. They want some easy way, you know, and there is no easy ways. As the song, he said, "I'll take the way with the Lord's despised few." He don't want to be a hotbed plant.
Every true sign of God is followed by the voice of God.

L-76   Now if a man gives a sign in a country, or anytime, and that voice that he speaks behind that isn't the Word of God, then watch it, don't believe it. If some old school, if a man gets up and says, shows a sign from God, and then the man's teaching is the same old theology you've had all these years, God never sent that sign. Look back in the Scripture and see if it was. Search the Scripture. The guy comes back, and said, "Now we all want to join this. It's been an old established affair." Don't you believe that. We're going to go in that, just in a few minutes, see. No, don't you believe that.

L-77 God always vindicates His signs. Sign from God always speaks God's voice.

L-78 And if it's the same old school you've had, why would He give a sign, you're already in it? He is trying to get you to that corner. Stop sign! Slow up! Look where you're going! You'll dump yourself off at the corner if you don't watch. There is a sharp curve, and it's always a sign there before you make this curve, to keep you from wrecking up. A good road builders give signs. And we are traveling a road to Glory. And if the sign speaks of the same old thing, it wasn't from God.

L-79 God gives signs to attract the attention of His people. Signs are to attract the attention of God's people, God's signs is. God's signs is given to attract the attention of God's people.
