<TITLE>08. Par 87-102</TITLE>L-87   He said to me, "Right then," he said, "I realized I hadn't met an overnight boy. I knowed one who knowed what he was talking about." He might have played off. But that's a good way to do it, let the enemy jump unto you one time like that and then he'll know where to go. See? So he said, "I realized that that wasn't an overnight boy."

L-88 And it said, he said, "Well, now look here. Jesus is raised from the dead."

L-89 He said, "Has He?" Said, "You've had two thousand years to prove it, and not hardly that two-thirds of the earth never heard of Him. Now what's the matter with you people?" He said, "Let Mohammed raise from the dead, and the whole world would know it in twenty-four hours." And that's right.

L-90   See, they got a horse standing at his grave. I've seen it there. They change guards about every four hours, expecting him to raise, yet. In type there, coming on a white horse, see, to conquer the world.

L-91 And so he said, "Let--let him raise from the dead, and the whole world will know it."

L-92 He said, "Well, Jesus did raise from the dead." He said, "Your prophet is in the grave."
He said, "How do you know He raised from the dead?"
Teacher said, "He's in my heart."
He said, "Mohammed is in my heart, too, sir."
He said, "But I have joy and peace."

L-93 He said, "Sir, Mohammedanism can produce just as much psychology as Christianity can." And they do. You ought to hear them shout and scream. That's right. "Produce just as much psychology as Christianity can." He said, "Well, what do you mean when you said that Jesus promised all these things to you?" It said, "I suppose you're referring to Mark 16?"
He said, "Yes, that's one of them. Not altogether, but that's one."

L-94   "Jesus said, the last Words He said to His Church, 'Go ye into all the world, see, and preach the Gospel, and these signs shall follow the believer.' How long? 'All the world; every creature. If they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover.' The last words He said, according to your Scripture."

L-95 He said, "Well, you see," said, "that's just..." Said, "You see, that part isn't inspired." Said, "He really didn't mean that. That wasn't..."

L-96   He said, "It ain't inspired?" Said, "What kind of a Book are you reading?" Said, "All the Koran is inspired." Hum! It's a defeat of the weakness of theology, a man-made theology that hasn't got the--the Spirit to stand up and face the thing.

L-97 Like the Hebrew children said, "Our God is able to deliver us from this fiery furnace, but nevertheless we'll not bow to his image." We need people with courage. Man who has believed God has always been courageous and believed in the supernatural. Man who believe God!

L-98   Mr. Reedhead said, "I kicked the floor, Brother Branham, kicked the dust like that, and I couldn't answer the man." He said, "I purposed in my heart to come see you after that, and ask what this was all about." And said, "Here I am." He said, "If the Holy Ghost..."

L-99 Said, "Brother Branham, my mother sent me to school." And said, "I, when I got my BA, I thought there is exactly..."
I said, "I know what you mean."

L-100 Said, "Then one day I got my BA, I thought right there I'd find Christ. He wasn't there when I got my Doctor's Degree." Said, "I've got enough degrees, honorary degrees, to plaster your walls, and where is Christ in all of it?"

L-101 I said, "Who am I to say that the teachers are wrong? But that's not what we're talking about. It's the Person, Christ, that you must know."

L-102 Now the man is holding great campaigns everywhere. And Doctor Lee Vayle there, a good friend of mine, is a friend of his, also. And he's having great success, praying for the sick and holding great big campaigns and everything. It's because that man believed.
