<TITLE>09. Par 58-66</TITLE>L-58   Church, wherever you are, what you belong to, makes me no difference. But, there's one thing you must know, you've got to be in Christ or you're dead. You can't live outside of Him. Your church might be alright, as a building; your fellowship might be alright, as man. But when you deny the Body, the Blood, the Word of Jesus Christ, you're dead the minute you do it. It's God's chosen place of worship. There is where His Name is, exactly. There is where He chose to put His Name; not in the church, but in the Son, Jesus Christ.

L-59 Notice, safety lied only in the place of His choosing, in His lamb, and in the name of the lamb.

L-60 Notice, it was a "male" lamb, a he, not a her. Not a church, she; but His Name, not her name. Where He was going to meet the people was not in her name, but in His Name, Him, the Lamb!

L-61   Now we say, "The church, the great, mighty church, she did this and she did that. She has weighed the storms. We've picked up in population. We're great in numbers. We're a mighty church. She is a great thing."
But God never said anything about a she. He said, "Him." "Him," is the meeting place, the Lamb, not the church. Not her name, but His Name. He didn't put her name anywhere. He put His Name in "Him"!
That's why, "All we must do, or word or deed, we must do it all in the Name of Jesus Christ." If we pray, we got to pray in the Name of Jesus. If we ask petition, we've got to ask in Jesus' Name. If we walk, we walk in Jesus' Name. If we talk, we talk in Jesus' Name. If we baptize, we've got to baptize in the Name of Jesus Christ. For, "All that we do in word or in deed, do it in the Name of Jesus Christ."

L-62   A fellow said to me one time, discussing that, he said, "Brother Branham, my wife, I don't..." He said, "She, her name is Such-and-such." He's a minister, may be setting here now. And he said, "My wife," said, "she's got my name." I'll just say Jones, because it wasn't Jones. He said, "Now, she don't have to get up every morning, get the broom and say, 'Now I sweep the floor in the name of Jones, and I wash the dishes in the name of Jones, and I patch the clothes in the name of Jones.'" He said, "I don't think you have to call any name at all."
I said, "I believe you do." That's right.
And he said, "Well, why? She don't have to say it. Everything she does is in the name of Jones, to begin with."

L-63 I say, "But you never walked down on a street and got her, and said, 'Come on, Jones.' She had to become, first, by a ceremony, a marriage ceremony, 'Jones.' If she didn't, you're living in adultery. And if you're baptized any other way but in the Name of Jesus Christ, it's an adultery baptism, which is not found in the Bible."
Then, "What you do in word and deed, do it all in the Name of Jesus," after that, what you do. But first you have to come in His Name.

L-64   There is many fine women in this building tonight, fine, loyal women; but there's one Mrs. William Branham. She's the one goes home with me. She's the one that's my wife.

L-65 There is fine people in the world, fine churches; but there's one Mrs. Jesus Christ, and that's who He's coming for. That's where His Name lays. There is where His worship is, in Her and Her alone. That is true. Oh, yes, sir. We find that to be true.

L-66 Now, that's why, we, "All we do in word or in deed, we do it in the Name of Jesus Christ."
"There is not another name given under Heaven for salvation, but the Name of Jesus Christ." Acts, the 2nd chapter, says that, "For be it known unto you..." "There's not another name given under Heaven whereby a man must be saved, only in the Name of Jesus Christ." Amen. I hope you get it. The Name of Jesus Christ, every...
Highest Heaven is named Him, "All the family in Heaven is named Jesus," the Bible said, "and all the family on earth is named Jesus." So that's God's chosen Name and where He has put It. That's His place of worship, is in Jesus Christ. Now, we know that to be so, no other place to worship but in Him.
