<TITLE>07. Par 51-65</TITLE>L-51   Now, Satan had come up before God, 'cause he could come before God, and accused the Christians (or, the believers) all the time. So he accused Job of many things, and said that "Job, the reason he could serve God, because everything was coming good for him." But said, "If You'll just let me have him, in my hands, I'll make him curse You to Your face."

L-52 I want you to notice that the confidence that God had in a believer. See? He's... In other words, God said to Job... or said to Satan, like this, "You can't do it! He's a just man justified. He is a good man. He... there's not one like him in the whole earth." O what a man; that God Himself would say to His enemy, "My servant is so perfect, there's not another man on earth like him." Oh! If we could only be that kind of a man! That God could bestow that confidence upon us! That know that we'll not twist from His Word or His Being, any way! Stay exactly, and He can put His trust in us.

L-53   Now, Job was a man that carried out God's commandments to the letter, exactly. And Satan knew that, but he said, "If You'll just let me have him, I'll make him curse You to Your face."

L-54 So God told him, He said, "Now, he's in your hands, but don't you take his life." And Satan even stretched as far as he could on that. He took every friend, and everything he had, almost his complete life, but he couldn't take his life. But Job still held right on, there was no turning back.

L-55 You see, when a man or a person has once really come in contact with God, with that genuine, revealed faith that "God is!" There's nothing, no time, no where, can ever separate that man from his God. I believe it was Paul said, "There's no strife, no hunger, no perils, neither living creatures, or death, or anything that can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus." You are securely anchored in Him because you were ordained to that Life.

L-56   But Satan thought he could twist him around a little bit, and cuff him up, and make him do it. But, you see, Job with his perfect revelation of God, and who God was, and how God loved him, he waited! No matter what the circumstances was, he waited for his faith to be confirmed, because he had had a grip on God, a revelation. That I spoke of last night.

L-57 Now, when the sick people that's in the building, the crippled people, or you that have a need of God, when you can get that type of a revelation that you are "justified," when you are actually justified in asking the thing that you're asking for, and believe that "He is a rewarder of those that diligently seek after Him," there's nothing can ever separate you from that faith that's anchored to you. See? But, first, it has to be revealed to you.

L-58   Someone come not long ago, a group of man, some of them listening in tonight, and told me, said... I kept telling them, "Go to Kentucky, oil's down there." I knew it was, I seen it in a vision.

L-59 Well, Brother Demos and them didn't go for a long time. After while, finally, they said... After Texas had moved in. And they said, "Now we're going down."

L-60 I said, "You ought to a-went a long time ago." But they didn't do it.

L-61 Demos said, "I made a great mistake in that, by not doing that, Brother Branham."

L-62 I said, "If you'd a-went down there, you'd a-had it all."

L-63 Well, they wouldn't listen to it. Then the first... then 'fore we left that night... The--the place where we were having lunch. The Holy Spirit showed me a great crack in the earth, and in that was full of oil, and these overflows in Kentucky was just little beds of oil that they were pumping from, but this one come from the main stream. And I said, "Brother Demos, it's there."

L-64 So they went to searching for it. Said, "Go down and tell us where the--where the oil well is."

L-65 I said, "Oh, no! No! No!"
