<TITLE>02. Par 12-20</TITLE>L-12 You're so nice! I get to talking, I just forget all about time, like the rest of us. But to Brother Shakarian, these fine ministers here at the platform, and out there, all you friends to Jesus Christ, I salute you in His Name; as a--a fellow kinsman with you, by the cross, to God, being brothers and sisters.

L-13 I want to turn, this morning, in the Scripture, over in the Book of Galatians, the Lord willing. I wish to read a Scripture.

L-14   Now, last night, hearing the message that went forth from our ministering brother here at the platform, he spoke in tongues. Bredesen, Brother Bredesen, a very fine man. I...

L-15 To see this with my illiteracy and education, my lack of understanding by words, and then knowing the Message to be true, and see such man as was on that panel the other night, standing there, and that can meet that intellectual type. They might not be able to do what the Lord has called me to do. I can't do what the Lord has called them to do. But us working together, I'm sure we can get the Message over, if we'll just stay before God.

L-16 And when he gave a--a testimony here last night. And the Holy Spirit spoke in tongues, and, someone out in the audience, I always know to reverence that. Cause, I understand, by the Bible, that's the Spirit of God bringing something to us. And he said, spoke of the latter rain, former rain and latter rain. And that brings me to a thought.

L-17   That Brother Bonham had just give me a little package with some checks on it, said, "This is a love offering for the... from the people." Now, he--he, they should not have done that. See, I didn't come here for that purpose. But I... he, they give it to me, and, of course, there would be... there is no way of giving it back. And I'm going to take it, if the Lord willing, and try to put it on my expenses, going overseas. Because, I'm not sponsored, no means, where I'm going.

L-18 It's kind of a secret, because the churches won't let me in. And I'm going in as a hunter, because it's on my Lord. The Lord has put it on my heart to do it, and I have to go in kind of under disguisement. See? So they have a little funny ideas there, that each one wants me to sign a card, that I'll agree with them on what they believe, and say this other group is wrong, and this group says they'll bring me in if I'll say this group is wrong. See? But I don't like that. See, we are...

L-19 I've always tried to stand between the people, outside of the organizations and their differences, and call to what it seemed like the Spirit of God was saying through the brethren here this morning, that we are not a denomination. We are children of a family. Now, there is not no Branham denomination. There is a Branham family, and we all don't join that family, we're born in that family. And so, I, that's what I'm trying to represent, the--the best that I know how.

L-20   Now in Galatians 4:27-31, I believe I have marked down here, I'd like to read this for a text.
For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate has... more children than she that has an husband.
Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of the promise.
But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so is it now.
Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondswoman and her son: for the son of the bondswoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondswoman, but of the free.
May the Lord add His blessings now to His precious Word.
