<TITLE>22. Par 256-267</TITLE>L-256   Now, what did the Bible say? Let me read it again. A strange thing, it just fell open to the place. I believe the Lord wants us to read that again, see. "Afterwards He appeared unto the eleven." He has did us the same way, this afternoon. He is here. How many believes that Christ and the Holy Ghost, that the Spirit of Christ is the Holy Ghost? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Of course, it is.

L-257 There is no three or four Gods. There is only one God. There is three attributes of God; Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, but they're not three Gods. That's heathen. See, there is only one God. And that's attributes. God the Father was in the wilderness, as a Pillar of Fire. All right. God the Son; God the Father created the body which was God the Son, and lived in the Son. See? "God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself." Do you believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] If you're a Christian, you believe it. And, then, "A little while and the world seeth Me no more." And now look, Jesus said, "I came from God, and I return to God." After His death, burial, resurrection, He ascended up.

L-258   And when Saul of Tarsus was on his road down to Damascus, a big Light, Pillar of Fire again, struck before him. Is that right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] What did It do? It struck him blind. And when he raised up, he said... Now remember, he's a Hebrew. He knowed what that was, or he wouldn't have said, "Lord." "Lord, Who are You?" He knowed that his people followed that Light, that Pillar of Fire. It brought them out of Egypt. "Lord, Who are You that I persecute?"

L-259 He said, "I am Jesus. Yeah, hard for you to kick against the pricks."

L-260 It was Him that come in as a Pillar of Fire that night and turned Peter out of jail.

L-261 And now look, if that same Spirit returns, won't It have the same attributes that It had here, if It's the Light? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Well, what is this Pillar of Fire, That? Now, if I never see you men again, and you people, my testimony has proven true. The Bible testifies of it.

L-262 Scientific world testifies of it, That. George J. Lacy said, "I often said it was psychology, myself, Mr. Branham. But," said, "I've had It under ultra ray and every kind of a infra ray and everything that I can find. The Light struck the lens, and this lens won't take psychology."

L-263   So if I live or die, it's true, anyhow. The church knows it, true. Science knows it, true. Now what about you? Remember, it's not me. It's Him. It's not me. I'm nobody but just one of you all. It's Him. He has to get somebody. Nobody is worthy of it, but somebody has to do it. Remember, it's not an easy job, but it's a glorious job to know that your Lord is here and you can tell your brethren the Truth. But it's hard when they won't believe it, but, that, we all have to confront that. Remember now.

L-264 Now, you audience, are you all about lined up now? Looks like they are. Now if there is some in the balcony, follow right in behind this line here.

L-265   Now remember, these are your pastors and so forth, man of God, who believe God. Are you believers? You stood here to make a testimony that you believe this Mark 16 is true? [The ministers say, "Amen."--Ed.] All right.

L-266 Now the Bible said, "The prayer of faith shall save the sick; God shall raise them up. If they lay hands on the sick, they shall recover." Now we're going to pray for you, now, while you're standing reverently, quietly. And then when you pass through here, just like you was coming...

L-267 You had confessed that you believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God. And then you go to the pool to be baptized, or the creek, river, or wherever it's at. And when you are baptized, that's all the preacher can do. Preach the Word; you believe it; you are baptized for the remission of your sins; rise up a new life. Then the way you act, from there on, proves whether you really accepted Christ or not.
