<TITLE>22. Par 231-247</TITLE>L-231 And if you was just baptized in water right--right, and then deny the Word, then you're illegitimate; your birth wasn't correct. You claim that you believed Him then, and you deny Him.

L-232 How could I deny my family? When... How could I deny Charles Branham being my father? A blood test on the door shows it. Uh-huh.

L-233   My action, and the vindication of God's Word in my life shows whether I'm a child of God or not. Now, there's God's only place. See it? The only place that God will receive your sacrifice (I don't care how sincere you are) is in Christ.

L-234 And remember... You say, "Well, I believed I come in too." Remember, the Bible says... You say, "Well, the Bible said, 'Whosoever believeth that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, is saved, shall be saved."'

L-235 It says that, but remember it also is written, also is written, "No man can call Jesus the Christ, only by the Holy Ghost." See? You might say "he is," but he isn't until the Holy Spirit Itself which gives Life to the Word proves it by vindication that you are the son of God. That's the Scripture.

L-236   "The place that I chose to put My Name. You shall not worship in any other gate, but in the gate I put My Name in; then I will receive you, you're in My family."

L-237 Now, the family of God obeys, the order of the Father of the family. "And He is the Prince of Peace, the Mighty God, the everlasting Father; and of His dominion and reign there shall be no end, the government shall be upon His shoulder." And Him being Governor, King, Emmanuel, First, Last, Prince of Peace, the Mighty God, everlasting Father, every one of His children obey every Word to the order because they're a part of Him.

L-238   We live in our home like Branhams live. You live in your home, the Joneses, like the Joneses live.

L-239 And in the House of God we live by the Word of God and every One that proceedeth out of the mouth of God; and any other, fraud, we won't listen to him. See? "You shall eat unleavened bread, every church age, just as I give It to you." But don't try to go back and inject that over into This, because it's come into a stalk. "You shall take the bones and things that's left over of the sacrifice and burn them!" Gone, the church age died, went on; we're in another one now. Amen!

L-240 "The place I choose to put My Name in." Oh, my! First Corinthians 12.

L-241   Notice Ephesians 4:30.
... grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby you are sealed until the... (next revival?)... until the day of your redemption.
... grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby you are sealed until the day of your redemption.

L-242 Now notice. Let's apply that to our Scripture lesson. Then we better go, I think I'm wearing the people out. Don't you? People getting up and going home, see, 'cause they got--they got dinner cooking. And somebody else wanting to leave, they didn't expect come down here to listen all day long. See? But look, you know the...

L-243   Ben, I--I ought to work on you! Bless you! Thank you, Brother Ben. I love you, Brother Ben.

L-244 If you know what that boy's suffered for us in that war; he's shot all to pieces, and blowed up, and everything else. He's had a life of everything, but God's blessed him. He stayed true. His wife left him, run away and married again, and took his children. Oh, my, I just can't think about it.

L-245 But, anyhow, God bless you, Ben.

L-246 He's laying right now full of shrapnel, pressing against his nerves and everything else. Just... You have to know the background of Ben, you see. God, bless that boy. Yes.
... whereby you're sealed until the day of your redemption.

L-247   Notice! Now this might pinch just a little bit, but notice. Don't fall out with me. Just remember.
