<TITLE>13. Par 99-112</TITLE>L-99 And a man that I didn't know... Sometimes you plant seed; you don't know what's going to happen. But the president of the Full Gospel Business Men, as soon as the great speaker set down, he said, "I am prone not to say things against our speakers, but that ain't the way Brother Branham said would happen. But he said that would lead to the mark of the beast."
He said, "But Brother Branham don't know what he's talking about."
Said, "We are... believe he does." See?

L-100   And in Chicago, said, "How many here would like for me to come up and give my version of it?" Begin screaming and shouting.
See, you're planting seeds; you don't know what's going to happen. Just keep laying out the Seed. When that hour comes, some of them is...

L-101 Like Thomas, he was about the last one to see the Lord. But, he had to see Him, to believe Him. See, when they see it happen. Oh, Thomas come in, but he was a little late.

L-102 Now when they see the things that's predicted, and saying THUS SAITH THE LORD, happens, then they say, "Give us some of your Oil." See?

L-103   But now notice, influence. Sometimes great guys get together. You hear them say, "Great So-and-so, and great So-and-so, our great..." Don't never do that.
There is no great ones among us. There's only one great One, and that's God. We are brothers, sisters. I don't care if you're pastoring a church that's got five people in it, that don't make you little; that makes you a brother, see, if you're true to God's Word. Don't care what, how; you don't get little. God don't have little children and big children. He just has children. They're all the same.

L-104 Notice, God Himself come from the ivory palaces of Glory, to become one of us. Now who is the big one? Took... Not come down here to take the form of a priest, but a servant. Washed the very clay that He created, the feet of His apostles and others. Now who is great?

L-105   But influenced, these man were. They didn't understand. They thought something new was going to happen, no, something that God didn't say was going to happen. They went at it the wrong way.
That's what all this enthusiasm, when the... started back yonder, a long time ago, each denomination had to have a Divine healer; each denomination had to have this, that, or the other. Each denomination had to have a little David. Each one had to have this, that, or the other. See what happened? It done the same thing it did here. Same thing. Influence!

L-106 The Word for the season, the time that they were living in, was ignored.

L-107 Notice, "the Levites' shoulders," was the original, provided way of God to do these things. "Pack that ark on the Levites' shoulders." Anything outside of that was contrary. What He said, that's what He meant. God cannot change. That's the reason, stay with His Word! I've got Script, yeah, First Chronicles 15:15, if you want to put that down. Notice.

L-108   Now notice, there, in following God. Now I want you to kind of jot this in your mind. To keep God's commandments, to do anything right for God, to do--do God a service correctly, there is five musts, to do God's service correctly.

L-109 Now David was doing God a service. He was doing everything he knowed to do, except leaving off God. See? He was doing something was right, something good for the people, something good for the church.

L-110 But there is five musts. I want you to remember these. No matter how sincere a man may be in doing it, doing God a service, this, these five must be there.
First, it must be His time to do it.

L-111 What if--if Moses would come, say, "We'll build an ark and float up the Nile, like Noah did"? Noah's time was all right for an ark, but not his time.

L-112 What if Jesus would come, said, "Now I'll tell you what we'll do. We'll just go up on the mount, like Moses did, and get a new declaration of laws"? See? Huh-uh! He was that law. See?
