<TITLE>10. Par 98-109</TITLE>L-98 He was waved to them. The Word, which He was, was waved back to them on the Day of Pentecost, the Word made manifest. Now, and as I say, It's to be waved again in the last day. Now, for instance...

L-99   You say, "Well, now, wait a minute, Brother Branham. I know a church that..." Well, I do, too. See?

L-100 But now, for instance, what if--if we were going to go back to Tucson this afternoon, now, and each one of us had a... was going to go in a--a big Cadillac, brand new? And all of the seats were made out of--of doeskin, softest of the leather, soft and easy to sit in; and the floorboards were plush; the steering wheel were nickel-plated and had diamond studs all over it; and the engine was mechanically tested to be exactly the right engine; and the wheels were... all had bearings and greased up; and the tires were all puncture-proof and blowout-free; and all been tested scientifically.

L-101 They had been pushed off the assembly line, both of them, and both of them filled up with gasoline. That's the running power, the gasoline, because in it is the octane. But now when you're going to start them, although both of them look just alike, but there is one of them don't have any spark, any firing power.

L-102 "Well," you say, "the power is in the gasoline, Brother Branham." But I don't care how much power is in the gasoline; unless there's a spark there to manifest that power, 'less there's a power there to confirm that that's gasoline, it just might as well be water. Until...

L-103   No matter how much theologians claim, how well you got your church set, how much education you got, how much like the Bible; until that wave Sheaf, until the Holy Spirit comes upon that person to quicken that Word! The gasoline represents the Word. It's the Truth; but, without the Spirit, It won't move.

L-104 We have put too much stress on the Mechanics and nothing on the Dynamic. It needs the dynamic Power of God, the resurrection Power of Jesus Christ upon the Church, to manifest and to bring to pass that This is gasoline. It might be in a gasoline can; could still be water, see. But the only proof of it, is, put this Life on it, and It'll prove whether it's gasoline or not.

L-105   And when you try to put the Holy Spirit in a denomination, you are as much as trying... You can get a splutter; you'll ruin your engine, by getting it full of carbon.

L-106 But, oh, I'm so glad that there is a ten thousand octane Power, the Word of God and a Holy Ghost to light It up, and to resurrect the Power of God into a man's life, or a woman's life, or into a church. That shoved that Cadillac down the road yonder, under the dynamic Power of the Holy Ghost which came back and was waved over the people at the Day of Pentecost, making Him the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-107   There was the first Sheaf come up from all the prophets, which was the Son of God, the King of all prophets.

L-108 There has been churches, churches, brides, brides, churches, brides, brides.

L-109 But there has got to come One! Hallelujah! There has to come a real Bride! There must come One that's not only got the Mechanics, but the Dynamics of It, makes that Church live, move in the Power of His resurrection. Until we come to that place, until we find that place, what good does it do to polish the hubs? What good does it do to give her a facelift or a simonize job, when there's no Dynamics in it? No matter how much the Mechanics prove to be right, there has got to be a Dynamics to make It work.
