<TITLE>03. Par 19-29</TITLE>L-19 "Well," I said, "I'm a--a..." The word jagter, jagter means "a hunter." Leeu, leeu jagter, that's, "hunting lions." I said, "I'm a--a lion hunter. And it was not the prayer that scared the lion away. But, the fire, the--the lion is afraid of fire."

L-20 He said, "Well, he believed Amoyah." Amoyah means it's "an unseen force," like God, or like the wind. See? Amoyah, something you can... "He believed Amoyah. But if Amoyah failed, this wouldn't." See? Now, that was the strength of Christianity, to them.

L-21 I told them. I said, "Now, see, whatever the missionary told you about Christ is right. See? But," I said, "there is... See, he never told you all. He tried to tell you, that, 'His great powers had ceased when He died back there at the cross, and we don't no more have that.' He is mistaken there. He's alive, and right among us, see, just the same as He ever was."

L-22   And when they seen that proved, just like you did last evening, they estimated twenty-five thousand healed at one time. Think of that.

L-23 And the next day, Mr. Smith called me, and he said, "Brother Branham, go to your window, looks out towards the Indian Ocean, your--your hotel room." And there come seven great big English vans. Oh, my! We haven't got a truck could hold one-third of what they would hold, just piled full of crutches and carriers, that they carried their loved ones out of the jungles, piled in there. They was on it, the day before. And here they are, walking behind these trucks, thousands of them, with their hands up, singing, "All things are possible. Only believe."

L-24 Now, if the heathen, a man that don't know which is right or left hand, a--a man that's in that condition, can just see that happen one time, or one time read the Scripture and explain to him; what ought we, who claim to be Spirit-filled people, what ought we to do? See?

L-25   But, the thing of it is, we been so indocumated till every one gives his own opinion. And, well, it's just difference from the people you're meeting. You know, there's... And a heathen don't altogether mean that you have to be illiterate. There's educated heathens, you know, and they're the worst of all. That, that's right. When you go to pull it... I'll tell you. In traveling the world, been several times around the world, but you know where they need missionaries worse than ever? U.S.A. Right here. Here is the field for the missionary. That's right. Let some of them people come over, don't know right and left hand, and teach these people what God is. Yeah. They got so much intellectuals, till they've lost the whole sight of the whole thing. Yeah. Just, they try to explain It, and try to--to work It out, or try to figure It out.

L-26 The native don't try to figure out nothing. He just simply believes. And that's what you have to do, to get right with God, is just believe. You can't figure God out.

L-27   What if Moses... when he seen that bush not burning up? Now, Moses was a chemist. And Moses was taught in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. But when he saw that bush, it was strange. Why, he never said, "Now, I believe I'll go over. When the fire goes out, I'll take the leaves off that bush and take it down, the laboratory, find out what it's sprayed with, see, to see why that bush could burn and--and it didn't burn up." That would been the scientific approach.

L-28 But what did he do? He took off his shoes and set down and talked to It. God talked back to him. See? When you humble yourself, humble yourself.

L-29   What if Martha would have said... when she heard that Jesus... After he sent, to come pray for Lazarus, had been dead four days. What if she would have run out, said, "I thought we was believing something"? She had a right to upbraid Him, you know, because He had failed to come when they called.
