<TITLE>28. Par 191-195</TITLE>L-191 "Well, the Holy Ghost fell on me." I don't doubt that a bit. "I spoke in tongues. I sang in the Spirit. I done..." I don't doubt that a bit. No question to that. Oh, brother, sister, what kind of a condition!
This is a trembling time. Where we at? This Word is coming to Life now. Notice.

L-192   Yeah, He said they would do that. Notice, "You workers of iniquity." I got a Scripture writ down here. I don't know just where it was. I've took so much time. I'm going to look it up, just a minute, and see what it was. I got--I got Matthew 7:21. I--I just don't know where. I, sometimes I don't jot something down with it, well, I--I preaching like this, I--I forget what I was referring to on the Scripture. Matthew 7:21.
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Many shall say unto me in that day, Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied...
Prophets, anointed ones! That right? "Wasn't we a prophet? Wasn't we anointed, anointed one? Have not I prophesied in Thy Name? And in Thy Name have not I cast out devils?" How can you do that, and refuse to be baptized in Jesus' Name? See? Oh, my! See how deceiving? Right up to that very point, then drop back. They go right up to the Word, then drop back. Now watch this. We get this out, just a minute.
Many will say unto me... Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied, we been prophets?...
Yeah, I spoke of that in Matthew 24:24.
... and in thy name... cast out devils? and in thy name done many wond-... many works?
And then will I confess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.
"When It was put right before you and you seen It, and seen It moving, seen It was the Word; and for your denominational sake, you was held into it. I never even knew you. I don't care how many devils you cast out, how many you did this and that; I knew nothing about you."
Balaam said, "I prophesied right, in Your Name. It come to pass."

L-193 "That's exactly right, but, when it come to the Word, you refused It."
Oh, brother, see the deceiving part? Not "prophet," exactly; but with the Word, true Word, vindicated Word made manifest. "You workers of iniquity!"

L-194   Try, Satan has tried in all ages to impersonate the true Word. We know that, don't we?

L-195   Notice, come up to the borderline and quit. Looky here, He said, in Hebrews the 6th chapter, now, we was reading a while ago. I told you refer back to it, and we will for the next couple minutes. He said:
... but thorns and thistles... which is nigh unto rejection; whose end is to be burned. (Borderline!)
... ye who have tasted... the heavenly gift,...
"Tasted," other words, you seen It! You can't [Brother Branham smacks his lips togther--Ed.] just taste It with your mouth. But you seen It, and you knew It was the Truth. You knowed It was the Truth. "Tasted the Heavenly gift."
... and made partakers of the Holy Spirit, as It fell upon you,
... tasted of the good word of God,...
"Tasted," you seen It was right. "And the Holy Ghost falling upon you," the weed in the field.
... and then turn away,...
"Denying the very Christ that sanctified you, and called you, and put that anointing upon you."
... there remaineth no more sacrifice for sin, for that.
It's unpardonable! "It's impossible for them to ever come to the knowledge of the Truth."
For it is impossible for those who were... made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
Fell upon the weeds, see, "Started in with Jesus, and, 'Lord, I'm going through,'" but when you hit the Word, you turn back. "Made partakers of the Holy Spirit, and even tasted, or seen the Word Itself manifested." And then turn away from It, "It's totally impossible for them to ever see It or come to It."
That's THUS SAITH THE SCRIPTURE. Now, you... "Heavens and earth will pass away, but It won't." You see it? "Totally impossible." The Bible said so, and the Spirit bears record of it.
