<TITLE>10. Par 77-85</TITLE>L-77 How wishy-washy, that's what's too many Christians today, are so soft-soaped and everything, until they think all they do is join a church, go in somewhere, put their name on a book, or do a little something, jump up-and-down, shout, or--or something like that, and call it Christianity.
Christianity is a everyday, rugged life, living for God in the... this presence world. It's a constant burning of the Fire and love of God, in the heart, that sets you afire and puts you out yonder with the people, and making converts to Christ. Responsibilities.

L-78 But it's easy to go the way the world goes. It's easy to flow down the stream.
Go out there and set down in the river, with your boat. You get your oars and start pulling up against the current; you don't make much time, and it goes hard. But you just once let loose the oars and watch how fast you pass the trees, going down, but look where you're going!
When things are floating easy, remember, you're going towards a--a great cataract down there, of some sort. You're going towards the falls, and it won't be long you'll be going over that falls. Just floating with the world, easy, the way it goes, you don't want that. No, sir. But you must res-... accept your responsibility.

L-79 Now, you believe It, and you've a-... You think It's the Truth.

L-80 And the responsibility that God has given us in this day, to bring this Message! And as I get older, and I know my days are shortening up, I feel the responsibility greater than I ever felt. Pressing on, we must do it! We must get down to it, in everywhere we go, and tell the Message; and--and tell the people that Jesus Christ is coming, that He's God and He's coming soon. There's not a--not a hope left in the world but the Coming of the Lord.

L-81 Looking back there at some friends that was with me up there when the Angel of the Lord... These boys setting here, I believe they found the place where it happened up there. And just remember what the Lord said that day, to Brother Woods. Was walking up the hill. And--and he was kind of weeping, because of his wife being sick. And the Lord said, "Pick up that rock and throw it up in the air, and say, 'THUS SAITH THE LORD.'" And I did that. And Brother Woods is setting as a witness.

L-82 And I said, "Brother Woods, it won't be long till you're going to see something happen." And the next day, when we were standing there, all of us together... And a bunch of the man standing right here tonight.

L-83 A young preacher was there, and he was a... I noticed... I just met him the night before. He was in our camp. He come up to be with us. And he said to me, he said, "Brother Branham, do you ever see visions, out like this?"

L-84 I said, "Yes, sir. But I come out here to get away from it, to kind of rest a little bit." He said... "Well," I said, "I--I... Course, He shows me things out here." And I said, "Just over the hill here, where the seven Angels appeared down in there."
He said, "Yeah, I understand." Said, "I was one of the sponsors on your meeting over in California."
I said, "Well, I'm certainly glad to know that."

L-85 And while standing there, just then I looked around and I seen kind of a heavy-set doctor looking into his eyes, and I heard him say, "You're going to lose that eye, because there's a allergy in there. And I've doctored it for two years, and you're going to lose that eye."
I said, "Reason you asked me that, because your doctor told you the other day you was going to lose that eye."
And he said, "That's right," and he looked around like that.
