<TITLE>02. Par 10-19</TITLE>L-10   And with as many as a hundred and twenty people here together, you are bound to--to find things sometimes, the enemy will sweep in among you, and through your minds, and--and start this, that. Just stop when he does it. Think back, think of this morning, think of the times when you're sitting together in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

L-11 Some of you are plumbers and some are carpenters and some this, that, and the other. You rub arms with the world each day, when you're out there. But when you see those things, and great temptations rise, just remember these little, sacred places where you're sitting together, with the only thing that lasts. Your jobs will fail, one of these days. Your health will fail. Even your life, here on earth, will fail. But then That won't fail. And if He is the center of all things, then let's keep your minds on the center Post, what has drawed us to this.

L-12   My, this nice, clean-looking bunch of people! I don't mean so much your clothes. Your clothes are clean, of course, and things, your faces. I think these little ladies here, not a speck of lipstick on a one of them; all of them with long hair, young and old, middle-age and all. Yes. See? Well, you just don't realize what a treasure you got here, see, in this little chapel service.

L-13 I want to thank Brother and Sister Shantz, also, and for this privilege of being in their home. And this is their home now, that they have sold their property, I think, in Canada, and have come down to sojourn with us. We don't have no more earthly possessions. We're seeking a City to come, Whose Builder and Maker is God.

L-14   And I thank Brother Leo and Gene, for the trueness they have been, to the vision that was given to them when we first met. No doubt but what he has told you many times. It's strange, I didn't see it just like this. I knew there was something ahead. When the young fellow came to me as a... with a dream that he had had of a pyramid, standing up in this pyramid. And he climbed up to where I was at, and I was standing out in a saucer, a plate, or something like a light.
He said, "Brother Branham, how you get up there?"

L-15 And I said, "Brother Leo, God has to put a person in this position up here." I said, "Now that you've seen, return back to the people and tell them that you believe it's of God."

L-16   And little knowing then when I had a place. I--I love the boys, and I wanted to put them in a position where I could be with them. And they started making tapes. But, you see, as far as myself, they'd have still been making tapes, as far as I know. But what a greater thing God has did for them, than to make tapes, see. Most anybody can make a tape, that's got the intelligence to turn on a tape recorder, or can sell. But it takes guidance of the Holy Spirit to guide a little group together like this, this morning, and keep them together in harmony and unity, and still clinging to the Message.

L-17 God, may You--may You grant, to this people, long life here on earth, happiness and joy, and then "enter into the joys of the Lord" at the end of the road.

L-18   We are now ready for a battle, the Trumpet is to sound. The hymns have been sang, now comes the Word. I think, as I stand here, that you know... Yes, you probably do.

L-19 But to hear these comments of these young soldiers here! And myself getting old, and listen around, and your faith and confidence, and what you've placed in to believe the Message that--that I have been given of God. Now, if it wasn't for you all, the Message would do no good. See, it's--it's got to be somebody to believe It. And as long as It's coming from God, there is going to be somebody believe It, you see. God has made a way. He, He has affixed His great economy like that, that, when He sends forth Something, there is something there to meet that Something. The Deep responds to the call of the deep. It's--it's got to be that way.
