Ten Thousand Worlds

Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy statutes. (Psalm 119:9-12)

7 Now, just before approaching the Word… And I won’t keep you long. I usually get out four hours, five, something like that. But tonight, we’ll cut part off and make it thirty minutes. So then, I’ve got to go right on in other revivals, and I certainly appreciate this invitation.

Now, as I read the Word… If nothing else matters, the reading of the Word will do something for you. And I’m going to read one verse. It’s not very much. It isn’t… it isn’t the size of it; it’s what it is. That’s what counts. And it’s not the paper it’s wrote on. It’s what’s in the Word, because God’s Word is eternal. My words will fail; His words cannot fail. Mine’s a man, and His is God’s. So if my words fail to reach the place that God has intended tonight for our gathering together, and to put something with the songs to go on, then I pray that you’ll get God’s Word, and it’ll take the place, for it’s…

8 Any time that God is ever called on the scene to make a decision, and when He makes the decision, that has to forever be His same decision. Now remember, He cannot change His mind, because He’s perfect. You believe God’s perfect? You believe He’s infinite? Certainly He’s infinite. Well, if He’s infinite, well, then, He—He can’t learn any more. Now, we’re finite, so we can just keep learning, and take this back, and add something more, and take away. But God can’t, see. He’s perfect. Every decision is perfect. So you must always remember: keep your minds and hearts on His Word.

Oh, this is a terrible day we’re living in. You know, the deceiving time is the evening time. But He promised us we’d have Light in the evening time. He promised that. And as the sun rises in the east, and sets in the west, it’s not another sun; it’s the same sun that sets in the west that rose in the east. His prophet said there’ll be a time there’d be a dismal day, not neither night nor day. And… but said in the evening time it shall be Light again. So we’ve had that, and how the evening Light of the finish of the day.

9 And now, always remember that… God makes a decision, it’s perfect every time. So when He says anything, it must always remain that way. So that gives us confidence that we can put our trust exactly in what He says. It’s the truth, see.

Never vary from His Word. Keep His Word in your heart. I believe David said he’d hid His Word in his heart that he might not sin against it. Now, if we’d just remember that.

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. (Ephesians 6:11-13)

66 We… The Bible says that we don’t wrestle with toeholds, flesh and blood; but we wrestle against spiritual powers. Now, if you’d only realize it, as I said a while ago, we are risen with Him now. You’re not going to die. You’re already dead. See? But our Spirit is alive in Him. So we’re not wrestling against natural, scientific things; we’re wrestling against spiritual power.

You know, wrestlers, they practice on breaking toeholds and things. But you don’t break these toeholds. No. Could you imagine a wrestler come out now. My, with his fingernails polished, trunks on with all kinds of gold beads around it. Look like a pretty good wrestler, but that’s only intellectual. If he hasn’t got a hidden strength there, that when the enemy gets a toehold on him that he can pull him out of it (hallelujah), his intellectual beads around him and everything don’t make much difference. So all of our intellectual means nothing if there isn’t a hidden power of the Holy Spirit there (Hallelujah), to break the hold of the devil.

67 But we’re in a wrestling match. We’re wrestling not with fine-dressed intellectual psychology, but we’re wrestling with the power and the promise of God which can break any hold on any devil at any time. Jesus, our Lord, proved it when He was Emmanuel, God Himself made flesh among us. And when He met Satan, to show that Satan could be defeated by the Word, every time Satan would come to Him He said, “It’s written. It’s written.” Oh, how I would like to take time here on some note I got wrote here, on the things that He said—how many times that He broke Satan’s power with “It’s written.” (Oh, my.), showing that that fortified person behind the Word of God can scream out, “It’s written, turn him loose. Turn loose, Satan, for it is written,” if you’re staying behind the Word. “If ye abide in Me, and My Word’s in you, ask what you will.” That’s right. Can’t be wrong; that’s got to be right.

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. (Psalm 116:15)

42 My own mother just passed away recently. When I stood by her side, and she said, “Billy…” All of our children was—her children was standing there, what was living: Two of us was gone out of ten. And the girl… She looked at me, and she said… First she looked at Delores. She said, “My last, and my first.” And mother was a gracious Christian, and I’d led her to Christ and baptized her many years ago.

And she said, “Delores, you’ve been good to me. You’ve helped me. You have—you have done many a washing for me when I’ve gotten old and can’t wash. You’ve come down to clean up my house. You’d do these things.” She said, “I love you, honey.”

And Delores, a young Christian, standing there choking, looking down, and she said, “Mother, it was so little.”

She said, “Billy, you seen that I didn’t go hungry.”

And I said, “Mama, how many times have you walked away from the table so I could have something to eat, when we were—had nothing to eat?” And I said, “It was just a duty, mother.”

And she said, “Then you’ve kind of been a spiritual guide to me, Billy. You baptized me. You’ve told me the way of life.”

Said, “Mama, you know our background is Catholic.” And I said, “Then I—I went to the church, but they said, ‘This is the church,’ and it was contrary to the Word. I went from church to church, and I found out it was so contrary. So I stayed with the Word, Mother.” And I said, “I’ve tried to tell you what was right and lead you to Christ.” And the dear old saint went away to meet God. And then I committed her soul back to God.

43 Delores called me, and she said, “Billy, I—I just can’t get over it.” She said, “Mother…”

I Said, “Delores, look out across the road from where you live. Isn’t there a large oak tree standing there?”

She said, “Yes.” This was just a few days before Mother died. And she said, “Yes.”

I said, “It’s coming fall now.” I said, “About a month ago those leaves were real pretty and green.”

“Yes,” she said, “Bill.”

Said, “When was… What does it look like now?”

And she said, “Well, they’re yellow, and brown, and green, red.”

And I said, “Delores, what makes them turn yellow, brown, green, and red?”

She said, “They are dying.”

I said, “When was the tree its prettiest?”

She said, “Now.”

I said, “The Bible said, ‘Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.’” See? That’s when the time comes. I said, “The life is going back. Life is a tree. We are all hanging on a Tree of Life. That is right.”

And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

104 But, you see, in the church there is the pastor, and that pastor is a special person. He’s built to where he can—he can put up with the fusses of the people. He—he—he’s a burden-bearer, he’s the ox of the team. He—he’s a man that can sit down when the…somebody’s got something against somebody else, and sit down with them two families (and take neither side) and reason it out and bring it right back into sweetness. See? He—he’s a pastor, he knows how to take care of things.

105 The evangelist is a special man. He’s a man that’s burning like a fireball. He runs into a city and preaches his message, then gets out of there somewhere else. See, he’s a special man.

106 The teacher is a special man. He sits back under the anointing of the Spirit and is able to take the Words and put them together by the Holy Spirit, that, the pastor or evangelist, either one, could not compare with him.

107 And then, we find out, the apostle is a special man. He’s a—he’s a “setter-in-order.” He’s a man that’s sent from God to set the things in order.

108 The prophet is a special man. A prophet is a man of whom the Word of the Lord comes to, because the prophet is so designed (life) that his subconscious and his first conscious is so close together that he doesn’t go to sleep to dream his dream, he sees it when he’s wide awake. See? Now, that’s something God has to do. See, he sees what’s going.

109 A prophet foresees way off, see, the things that is coming. He sees the cup of God’s wrath, full, before it is filled. See? He can say, “THUS SAITH THE LORD! God will destroy this city except you repent.” Why? He’s an eagle. He rides way in yonder. See? And he looks way off there and he sees that cup of wrath poured out. That’s what the prophet’s looking at. He ain’t looking what’s going on here, he’s looking yonder! He’s saying, “It’s coming!” He can go so high till he can see that shade. He said, “The world will be dark—darkness and gross darkness.” He’s up high enough, the sun’s shining now, but he sees that shade coming, and he’s—he’s—he’s saying what he’s looking at. It ain’t here yet, but it’ll sure be here! That’s right. It’s going to be here, gross darkness upon the people. He knows it’s coming, years away, yet he sees it.

And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock: And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him. Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God. (1 Samuel 17:34-36)

43 And I think of the rugged training He did to David. He never so much as schooled him in some school, but He schooled him in His own school. David was a hunter and a shepherd. And in the Psalms he wrote of green pastures and still waters, because there he was alone, by himself. He wasn’t contaminated with the things of the world.

44 God has to get a man away from the things of the world, so He can get him quiet, so he can listen to God, that still, small Voice. Then, once in contact with God, he becomes fearless then. Notice that he don’t care what anyone says; he’s been in the Presence of God. He knows God in the Power of His resurrection.

45 And then, David, we see him. One day, God permitted a bear to come in and get one of his sheep. David just took after that bear. No doubt but what he prayed, because a little later on he confessed to it. And he prayed and asked God. He was caretaker over that sheep. He could not lose that sheep. And he must save that sheep, at all price. And he grabbed his little slingshot, and took after that bear and killed him. He must save that sheep. You see what God was training him for?

46 God wants His shepherds to save the sheep, regardless what he has to be called and what he has to go through. Save them sheep!

47 Then He seen that David was gallant over this bear, so He just raised the power of the animal a little greater, and He sent a lamb…a lion in and took one of the lambs.

48 And a lion is a fierce animal. Oh, in Africa, when I was hunting them…A lion can kill ten men before you can say, “Jack Robinson.” Oh, powerful, great beast! Just with a big roar and, just, men are consumed. And the one who dies under the power of a lion never feels any hurt. It’s such a scare, to hear that roar as he gives. Those great mammoth feet, just in a second, he’s tore down a dozen men.

49 And to think, of a little boy! The Bible said he was “ruddy.” That means he was just a little bitty fellow, with a little slingshot. You know what it is, a little piece of leather with a string on each side. And a hungry lion, with already the taste of blood in his mouth, run in and grabbed a sheep. David looked up to God, and said, “I can’t lose that one. You help me, Lord.” And he knocked the lion down, with the slingshot. And when the lion rose up against him, that little boy, and the lion weighing about five hundred pounds, or better, that little boy weighing maybe seventy or eighty. He pulled, from his little belt, the knife. And when the lion raised up, which would kill ten men in a couple slaps, he grabbed the lion by the beard and killed him.

50 Courage! God don’t want cowards. He can’t use you if you’re afraid to take His Word and believe Him. He wants gallant men, won’t pay no attention to nothing but what the Lord says. That’s the kind He has to move with. Regardless of what the church says, what the pastor says, what the church stands for; he stands for God and righteousness, and His Word. That’s the men we…God will send these days for His revival that His people are praying for.

And David left his carriage in the hand of the keeper of the carriage, and ran into the army, and came and saluted his brethren. And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words: and David heard them. And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid. And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel. And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God? (1 Samuel 17:22-26)

35 Every man, today, knows that he can take the Name of Jesus Christ and meet any foe at any place, any time, and he will be defeated. I’ve met witch-doctors. I’ve met demons of all sorts and never seen a time but what they’d bow to the Name of Jesus Christ. Tell you, friends, when the Church lost the Name and the power of the Name of Jesus Christ, they lost it. When they went down… When Moses went down to Egypt, if they could ever got that stick out of his hand, they had him whipped. But in that stick was where the power laid. If they ever got the stick out of his hand, they had him whipped. Remember, it was the stick that smote the rock. It was the stick that they held to the air. It was the stick that held over the waters. It was God’s judgment rod. And what—what the stick was in Moses’ hand, the Name of Jesus Christ is to the borned again Church. Amen. Get it away from there, and it’s gone. Yes, sir.

Oh, that Name, take the Name of Jesus with you, child of sorrow and of woe. When temptations around you, breathe that Holy Name in prayer. Watch demons scatter. Yes, sir. The Name of Jesus Christ…

David said, “You meet me as a Philistine, with an armor and spear but I meet you in the Name of the Lord God of Israel.” Watch. He had five stones. He had five fingers, the sling wrapped in: J-E-S-U-S, F-A-I-T-H, faith in Jesus. Here he comes. Something has to happen. I tell you, when he turned that stone loose, the Spirit of God caught into that stone and slew Goliath. Cut his head off, and all the others weakened down. And the armies of Israel took courage and they cut Philistines plumb to the walls. That’s what it means tonight: somebody who’s got an experience to stand up and to prove the power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The rest of them will take courage and here they’ll come. Some of you on cots, wheelchairs, try it once and watch the group follow you. Take courage. Go on.

And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the Lord's anointed is before him. But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the Lord chosen this. Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the Lord chosen this. Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The Lord hath not chosen these. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither. And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the Lord said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he. (1 Samuel 16:6-12)

12 One time, when Israel chose a king, their first one, they made a terrible mistake. A great big seven foot head and shoulders: Saul! And he become a backslider and done disgrace to Israel. God then made Him a choice. And He said to Samuel, “Get some oil in the cruse and go up to Jesse’s house, for I’ll show you who I’ve chose.” And when he goes up to Jesse’s house, Jesse was very happy.

So he had seven sons, and he called the biggest one, great big fine handsome looking fellow, said, “Won’t he look nice with the kings robes on him, crown sitting on top of his head, look like the very image of the king?”

But when Samuel took the cruse and went forth to anoint him king, the Lord said, “Don’t do it. I’ve condemn it. I haven’t chose him.” And he brought another the next biggest one; God said, “I haven’t chose him either.” So he brought the sixth one, and God refused him.

Samuel said, “Haven’t you got another one?” Listen. “Haven’t you got another one?”

He said, “Oh yes, but he’s just a little old, scrawny, ruddy, knotty fellow, lives back out there on the back of the deserts, herding his sheep. He’d never make a king.”

“So go get him.”

13 And when little old David come in, sheepskin coat on, little crook in his hand, shepherd’s staff, the Holy Ghost said, “Go anoint him, for that’s My choice.” See? God does the choosing, because God looks on the heart.

Sometimes that we think that the great churches, with the great spires, and the million dollar organ setting in it, that’s where God is. Not all the time, that isn’t true. God chooses a humble heart. I don’t care if he is so poor he has to wear overalls, or if he is beggar in the street, if he’s humble and willing to believe God, God will take him. That’s just all there is to it. Amen.

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. (Galatians 6:7-9)

245 And remember, sitting right back where Sister Wright is at, one night, that a woman was going to throw me out the door for doing something like that. Yes, sir. I said, “You’re not coming in my church with your old…” When they used to wear, or cut their dresses way down like this, and that funny-looking stuff, and about half of their body exposed. I said, “They ever come in my church, I’ll sure put them out.” And some little old snickle-fritz down here, she died not long after that; and then she called on me, dying. She was a Catholic girl, walked up there and set down with that like that. I looked back and I spied her, sitting up here, and they was singing. Took off my coat, walked back there, put it up around her shoulders. I said, “Madam, if you’re going to listen to me preach, would you please wear this coat while you’re in the church of God.” See? Sure.

246 She stomped out of there, and spread them little lips up. She went out the building. She said, “If he has got religion, I wouldn’t let my cow have that kind of religion.”

I said, “Don’t worry, she won’t have it.”

247 Then we had the tent, they called for me when she was dying. She had a heart attack, and she was dying. Her husband come. He, “Can, come quickly!” And I was right in the meeting. Big, tall boy, standing at the door, waiting for me. And I run as…

248 I got in my car and run out there. As I went up, I met that old nurse out there, that lives down in Howard Park, yet. She said, “Reverend, there is no need of coming.” That’s been about twenty years ago, maybe a little better. Said, “She is dead.” Said, “She’s been dead about three minutes.” Said, “She screamed as hard as she could, for you.” Said, “I got a message for you.”

Said, “What?”

249 Said, “Tell that preacher, that I said that about, ‘Please forgive me.’”

250 I went down there to look at her. Beautiful woman; and she had suffered so hard. She had little freckles across her nose; a pretty woman. And the freckles, looked like, stood out. And her eyes had pushed completely out of the sockets, and was halfway turned back. Course, her bowels and kidneys had moved, and the steam coming up all over the bed, like that.

251 And her husband looked at me, said, “Brother Branham, say a prayer, ’cause she wanted to see you.”

I said, “A prayer for her now would do no good.”

252 “The way the tree leans, that’s the way it falls.” See? “Be not deceived; God is not mocked. Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he reap.”

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. (Galatians 5:22-24)

138 Christians, oh, you must have a personal relationship to God. In order to be a son of God, you must become relation to God. He must be your Father, in order for you to be His son. And only His sons and daughters are saved, not the members of a church, but sons and daughters. There’s only one thing that will produce that, that’s the new Birth. The new Birth is the only thing that will produce relationship to God. That right? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] Sons and daughters. Then when this takes place, then the men…

139 Here’s the question I want to get to you. The man says, “What do we do then after we been born again?” So many ask me that question. “What should I do then, Brother Branham?” If you are born again, your entire nature is changed. You are dead to the things you once thought.

140 “Well,” you say, “Brother Branham, when I joined church, I got that.”

Well, then, when, God said, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He still heals the sick. He still shows vision.”

“But, Brother Branham, my church!” Now, you’re not born again. See? You can’t be; for, if the very God, if His Life is in you, like the…you are in…the life of your father, and, if the very Life of God is in you, the very Spirit that was in Christ, in you, how can the Spirit live in Jesus Christ and write This, and then come back down in you and deny That? See? Can’t do it. It’ll punctuate every Word to be so.

141 Then, if you say, “Well, I’m a good member of the church,” that don’t have one thing to do with It.

I know the heathen. Down in Africa, amongst my dark brethren down there, I find the morals of them people higher than—than ninety percent of the American people. Why, in some of the tribes there, if a young girl is not married till she’s a certain age, or when she’s a certain size and no one has taken her yet, they know there’s something wrong. They excommunicate her. She take off tribal paint, and she goes to the city, then she just becomes a renegade. And when she’s married, she’s tested for her virginity. If the little virgin veil is broke, then she has to tell who done it. And they kill them both, together. Wouldn’t there be a lot of killing in America if that taken place? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] See? Then you call them heathens? Oh, my! They can come teach people, that call themselves church members, how to live clean. That’s right.

142 Never found one case of venereal in the whole trip through South Africa. They don’t have such a thing. There you are. See? It’s just our own dirty filthy ways, as white people. That’s right. Got away from God.

143 When this takes place, the thing you’ll do then, you’ll find out that the Spirit that comes in you, from the new Birth, you will believe and do everything that God says in His Word is for you to do. And everything that the Bible quotes for you to do, you’ll punctuate it with an “amen.” And you’ll not stop, day and night, until you receive it. That’s right. That’s right. And in all this time, you’ll certainly, above everything, bear the fruit of the Spirit.

144 You say, “Will I speak with tongues?” You might do that, and you might not. “Will I shout?” You might do that. You might not.

For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. (Galatians 4:22-23)

54 Here we are presented with a picture. Oh! The seed started, the seed of promise, started in a slightly doubted, doubt of the original promise. See how it starts low, in doubt in the original promise. God promised Abraham, through Sarah, to have this child. But now watch, the first seed of Abraham by the bondswoman come by Sarah doubting that this could happen, because she was old and passed the age of bearing.

55 Now that’s how the church starts. That’s how it always starts. You start from the bottom. You don’t start from the top. A man trying to climb a ladder, tries to get on top first, he’ll break his neck. You’ve got to start and build up to that.

And here we find the beginning of the promise of God being made manifest, through a slightly doubted, interrupted program of God.

56 That’s the same way sin begin in the garden of Eden. That’s how death started by sin, was when one Word of God was misconstrued or doubted. You can’t doubt or misplace one Word of God, that’s THUS SAITH THE LORD, ’cause Its every Word be so.

57 And here Sarah, even to who the promise (Sarah being a woman, which is a type of the church), gave doubt to the original program of God’s promised Word, and said, “You, Abraham, my husband, take unto you this beautiful maid, and live with her, and be a husband to her. And God will give this seed of promise through her, and I’ll take the child.” See, just bypassing one little iota, changed the whole program.

Therefore, we’ve got to take every Word of God as THUS SAITH THE LORD. Every Word of God is true.

58 Here the seed starts then in a promise, slightly doubted. Isaac being the seed of the free and promised woman, brought forth, as Paul was trying to explain here in Galatians, he brought forth the natural, promised seed. And he goes on to say here that the—the bondswoman’s children cannot be heir with the freewoman’s children, because they are of two different categories.

59 And, that is true, the unbeliever cannot be heir with the believer. There’s no way, at all. That’s where the trouble is today. You can’t make a denominational chicken believe with a eagle. You just can’t do it. There is where the trouble comes. You’ve got to believe every Word of God. You just…You’re not heirs together. Neither will you—will you join with it; you cannot do it. You’ve got to be eagle or a chicken.

60 It could not be heir with Ishmael, the seed of the bondswoman, of the…because of the doubting. Sarah doubted God’s Word, that God was able to keep It. Notice Abraham! You see what I’m building on for Sunday morning. Abraham did not doubt it. Sarah did doubt it; she was the one. It was not Adam that doubted; it was Eve that doubted. So, then, we’ll find out more about those as we pick it up Sunday morning.

61 Neither can the spiritual be…the natural be heir with the spiritual. No more can Ishmael’s children be heir with the—with the Isaac’s children, and no more than the carnal can be heir with the spiritual.
