<TITLE>07. Par 88-101</TITLE>L-88 And said, "Sorry nothing! Them Indiana license on there, and set up here, you're the boldest people!"
I said, "Could I just explain it?" I said...
She, "Who give you permission?"

L-89 I said, "I don't know just..." I said, "It was an elderly man setting out there on the porch, when I was down here last year, and we was talking about God." See?
And she looked, she said, "Are you Brother Branham?"
And I said, "Yes, ma'am."

L-90 She said, "Forgive me. I didn't know who you were." She said, "I want to tell you his testimony. His last dying hours, he raised up his hands and praised God." Said, "He died in Christian faith, and was carried away to God." See?

L-91 "If they hold their peace, the rocks will immediately cry out." There's something in nature.

L-92   Watch the birds, watch the animals, watch everything, and you watch nature.

L-93 Watch the little dove how he flies. What a different bird he is, see. He--he doesn't have any gall, he can't eat like the crow can. See? He has no gall in him. He doesn't have to take a bath in the--in the--in the water, because he's got something on the inside of him; it cleans him from the inside out, you see.

L-94 That's the way the Christian is. That's the way God represented Himself, in a--in a--in a dove. See, because... and the... Jesus was represented as a Lamb. Always in nature you'll find God. And God likened us unto sheep that has to be led. Did you ever notice there, I preached a sermon on it sometime ago? That the Dove coming down on the Lamb, to lead the Lamb, and It led Him to the slaughter. The--the--the Dove! Now, if that Lamb... That Dove could not have descended upon any other type of animal, because they both had to be of the same nature. See? If the Dove would've lit upon a wolf, and he would have snorted or growled, the Dove would have took Its flight.

L-95 Well, that's the same way now. And our ill ways, the Holy Spirit just takes His flight and goes away. It's got to have the same nature. The bird of the Heavens, the dove; the meekest animal on earth, the lamb; they can agree together. And when the Holy Spirit comes upon us and makes us new creatures, then He can lead us. But we try to live the same old life, it won't work! It just won't work.

L-96   Now, the first step you probably ever taken in your life, speaking of leadership, is probably the hands of some kind old mother. Them hands may be still tonight, out here in some cemetery somewhere, but that was the hand that held you to make your first step.

L-97 Then after mother taught you how to walk, and you'd make a few steps then fall down, and get up, and you thought you were doing great things, then she turned you over to the school teacher. And then she begin to lead you to an education; of how and what you must do, and how you must learn, and--and so forth like that.

L-98 Then after the school teacher got through with you, then you returned back, your father got a hold of you. Then when your father got a hold of you, he taught you perhaps your business; how to be a successful businessman, how to do things right. Your mother taught you how to be a--a housewife, how to cook, and so forth like that.

L-99 Then after they got through with you, then your minister or priest got a hold of you.

L-100   But now who leads you? That's the question now. Now, we're all led by something tonight. We have to be. We're led. Notice!

L-101 Now let's look at this young fellow's... what had influenced him. Let's look at the... this young businessman we would call him, 'cause he was a businessman. He was a great successful man. Let's look at his leaders.
