O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. (Psalm 63:1-4)

45 That’s the kind of life David said, “That Thy loving kindness is better to me than life. Oh, my heart thirsts after Thee, O Lord. I long to see You in this dry, thirsty land, like I have seen You in Your sanctuary.”

[Blank spot on tape—Ed.]… Climb a high tower, or jump off into a river, or flatten yourself on the street, or take carbolic acid, to end that kind of life. That’s not what David is speaking of. That kind of life has a end, and the end is disastrous. But that kind of life has no good end to it. But then, I just want to ask the audience this question, for a moment: “Then what makes a person do that?”

Now, you take, I went to a party one time, where… It wasn’t a party; it’s where that we had sold lamps, campaign. And they give a little speech. And we went over there to find out at Louisville, Kentucky, and the service company that I worked for, I’d sold more lamps than—than the whole company had, any of the rest of them. So they give a little time over there; we had a little dinner. And then after it was all over, they moved back and—and the—and they had some dancing. Some girls come out to dance. When they did that, my boss said to me, said, “Billy, go stand back there at the door; we going to have a little clean fun.”

I said, “What kind of clean fun?”

Said, “Would you mind stand at the door?” Said, “I know you don’t believe in dancing, but these people are going to dance.”

“Well,” I said, “can’t I wait outside?”

Said, “Suit yourself.”

I said, “All right.” And it’s when I started back, I—little old girl run out like that, and run out on the floor begin to doing the—kind of crazy looking acts, and—and going on, her little old skirt flying around. I thought, “That’s some mother’s girl.” I stood there at the door just a minute and looked out. I thought, “Oh, God. Really a pretty little girl. Isn’t it a shame, make some man a idol, some good preacher, maybe, a—a consolation, or some good workman to come in at nighttime to a little castle, where they’d have the little babies they could pick up, and play, and freely have life right. That’s… Maybe her mother might have been a Christian.”

46 And she started running around, grabbing each man. And she run back to me. And said, “You want to dance?”

I said, “Yes ma’am. I sure do.”

And she said, “Come on.”

Started out in the floor, I said, “Just a minute.” And I held her; she was too little to get away from me. I held by her hand, I said, “There’s one thing that I always make a practice of.” I said, “Before I always do anything, I always pray. Will you pray with me? Bow down.” I held her hand. She couldn’t help it. We broke that thing up there in a few minutes. Sure.

The old jazz band stopped, and they picked up their instruments and left. I said, “Mr. Hanson, you could fire me if you want to.”

He said, “No, Billy, you done the right thing.”

That’s it. That ain’t life. It’s two different conceptions of what life is. One has suicide; the other one has rapture. Oh, rapture Divine. Let that life fall on me. But what makes a person do that? There’s some reason. Why?

And now, behold, the Lord hath kept me alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the Lord spake this word unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old. As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in. Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the Lord spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were there, and that the cities were great and fenced: if so be the Lord will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the Lord said. And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance. (Joshua 14:10-13)

18 Caleb… There was ten of the spies that come back and said, “Oh, it’s impossible for us to do it. Why,” said, “their great places are walled. And they are giants in the land. We nearly looked like grasshoppers to the side of them. Oh, we are a failure; we can’t do it.”

And of course, ten against two, they were outnumbered. But Joshua and Caleb took their stand and said, “We are more than able to do it.”

But before Caleb, or Joshua could speak, Caleb had to still the people first, get them quiet. Stand still. Don’t be running here, and running there, and jumping at this, and jumping at that.

Now, what made Caleb so sure of it when the opposition was so great? It’s according to what you’re looking at. Caleb was looking at the promise of God. The other ten was looking at circumstances. If you go to look at circumstance, or to look what’s around you, you are sure to fail. But you must never look at what’s around you.

19 What if that man setting there looked at the opposition, by his boy there, a cripple in that chair? What if this nice, clean looking man setting back there in the wheelchair looked at the circumstances? What if the lady laying in that chair, leaning back, looked at the circumstances? What if this poor blind woman leaning on a shoulder of another thought of the circumstances? The doctor has tried. He’s failed. He’s a man, like I am, you are. And if you look at that, then you’re going to be a failure to begin with.

But the Christian doesn’t look at circumstances; he looks at the Word and stands still. God said so; that settled it. What if Abraham looked at the circumstances? If the doctor examined your heart… That kills more people than anything else. The doctor examined your heart and said, “You might drop at any time, you got a murmur.” That’s true. If you look at that, then you’re—you’re—you’re defeated to begin with. Look what God said.

20 If the doctor says that… If the little… Like the little boy last night who was a mute, certainly he was born, probably, without any hearing, ways of, at all. But right here on the platform, God gave back the hearing to that boy. I put my hands behind him and snapped my fingers; he turned around, motioned to his little ear. He’s a baby; he doesn’t know how to speak or nothing. I couldn’t get him to open his mouth even, because he had never had any use, but just to eat. And I give him a little piece of chewing gum, thought I could get him to open his mouth that way.

If the mother’s here, just teach the child. Just go on as if it was a finished work and believe it. No matter what anybody else says anything, stand still. God said so. Prayer of faith shall save the sick.

For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. (Romans 9:15-18)

320 Yet, that’s the same thing stands today. Men and women can go to church and have the long face, and—and pious as they can be, and never lie, steal, and try to live their religion as best they can. But, unless they are a believer, they’re lost. So there’s no scratch of legalists in the Bible. Calvinism is…Grace is what God did for you, and works is what you do for God. It’s absolutely separated.

321 If you quit lying, quit smoking, quit stealing, quit committing adultery, quit all, done everything, kept the commandments, and went to church, baptized every Sunday, took the communion, washed the feets of the saints, done everything, healed the sick, and done all these other things, unless you’re born of the Spirit of God, elected, you’re lost. “Not him that willeth or him that runneth, but God that sheweth mercy.”

322 Esau tried his best to become a Christian, and couldn’t do it. The Bible said he wept bitterly, seeking a place to repent, and couldn’t find it. Before he was even born, God condemned him, ’cause He knowed he was a rotten shyster in his heart. God by foreknowledge knew it. He said, “I love Jacob, and I hate Esau.” And Esau looked like the gentleman. He stayed home, taking care of his old blind daddy, fed the cattle, and everything, was a good boy.

323 And Jacob was mama’s boy, little old sissified story-teller. That’s what he was. You have to admit it. The Bible admits, brings it. Run around, doing everything. And—and, mama, hanging around with mama. But, yet, Jacob, with all of his ups and down, and his sissified ways, he still had respect to that birthright. That’s the keynote.

146 God will not be defeated, no matter what takes place. He will never be defeated. Then, women began to bring men on the earth. And God, through Eternal grace, seen who would be saved, and He called you. “No man can come to Me, except My Father calls him, first.” “Not him that willeth, or him that runneth, but God that showeth mercy.”

147 You say, “Well, I sought God. I sought God.” No, you never. God sought you. That’s the way it was in beginning.

148 It wasn’t Adam saying, “O Father, Father, I’ve sinned. Where are You?”

149 It was Father saying, “O Adam, Adam, where are you?” That’s the nature of man. That’s the strain of man. That’s what he’s made of.

150 “And no man can come to Me except the Father draws him. And all that the Father gives Me…” Hallelujah! “All that come, I’ll give them Eternal Life, and I’ll raise him up at the last day.” What a blessed, what a blessed promise, of a God of Heaven! Where we get to tonight, where, “He swore by Himself.” There’s none greater. You take an oath by someone greater than you. There no one greater, so God took an oath to Himself. We’re getting into it, how He did it and when He did it; and took an oath to Himself, that He would raise us up and make us His Own heritage.

Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies. (Psalm 60:11-12)

34 Now, down in the South where I go a whole lot, I was on a little vacation the other day down there. A bunch of people, of some good old crackers down there in Florida. We were out fishing, and that’s when Brother Evans was bitten by that rattlesnake. And I never it before in my life: Two miles back, I’d had to pack a hundred and eighty pound man. A big, old ground rattler, worse than your sidewinder any time, struck him in the foot, and his whole leg just paralyzed, trying to help me with about a twelve pound bass, in the weeds were gators and everything laying around.

And he jumped to grab it, and he just screamed and held his leg. I come out and there was two fang holes about like that, blood oozing out of them.

He said, “Brother Branham, my whole side is froze and aching so hard.”

How could I pack him through the swamps, weighed about a hundred and eighty pounds, six foot tall? His brother had been bitten a few months before that, a sinner, went to the hospital in a terrible condition.

And I said, “Oh, Brother Evans, merciful God have… Well, what can I do?”

I remembered the Scripture, what was it? Someone knocking at the door. “I’m the Lord, thy God; I’m a very present help in a time of trouble.” I remembered He said, “They shall tread on the heads of serpents and scorpions, and nothing in no means shall harm them.” I laid my hand over on his foot, him screaming, the tears dripping off of his cheeks like that from pain, I said, “Heavenly Father, I’m knocking at your door. We’re in a state of emergency. Have mercy, O God.”

35 And while we said that, and I quoted the Scripture, I looked over and he was laughing. All pains was gone. We fished the rest of the day. And that night at twelve o’clock, when we were down there getting the pictures, I guess there’s somewhere around there, Gene, getting the tourists all come in to see this great string of bass that the Lord had given us…

And his brother come up and we told the story. And his sinner brother said, “Wait a minute, Welch.” Said, “It’s all right to be religious, but not crazy.” He said, “You know, I laid three months in a hospital and two months after that with a cast on my leg with that, one of them rattler bites.” Said, “You get to medical aid just as quick as you can.”

He said, “Looky here, brother. You might know a lot of things. But you don’t know all things. If my God could deliver me from eleven o’clock this morning to eleven o’clock at night, He can take care of me the rest of the time.”

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:35-39)

140 Now, I’ll admit that people study too much, and try to go too far ahead, and try to think too hard, and sometimes have mental breakdowns and things on account of studying about the Lord. You must quit that! You don’t have to do that. The only thing you have to do is fall in love with Him, and just go right on loving Him. Amen. It’s not trying to push into something or make yourself something you’re not, just go ahead and let God use you in the way He wants to. Just yield yourself, commit yourself and walk on, happy, singing, rejoicing. That’s the way.

166 When I’m out in the missions, my wife writes me a letter. And I love her, and she loves me. And she say, “Dear Bill, tonight I just put the children to bed. I’ve worked today.” I see what she is reading, what she is writing. But, see, I so love her, I can read right between the lines. I know what she’s talking about. She don’t have to tell me. I know, ’cause I can read between the lines.

167 That’s the way it is with God, when not trying to study from some newspaper standpoint, some theological standpoint, but fall in love with Him. Get down and really get Him in your heart, “the love of God shed abroad in their heart by the Holy Ghost,” then go to reading the Bible and you’ll see It coming right out between the lines. See, you know what He is saying. He never said that right out in the Word. Jesus thanked the Father because that He had “hid those things from the eyes of the wise and prudent.” Now, no one else could read my wife’s letters like that, ’cause I love her that way, see, and that’s the way she writes to me. That’s the way God writes to you. It’s between the lines, you read It.

Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the Lord fought for Israel. (Joshua 10:12-14)

129 As I preached the other day on A Paradox, when Joshua stopped the sun. Becky back there, said, “Daddy, he couldn’t stop the sun,” said, “the world would stop. He stopped the world.”

130 I said, “He stopped the sun.” God don’t make any mistakes in His Bible.

131 Said, “How could He stop the sun, the sun don’t even run? The sun stands still.”

132 I said, “But that, that missile out there, wasn’t what He was talking about. This sun that was traveling and making it light across the earth, that’s the sun He stopped.”

133 I don’t know what God did, to bring it to pass, but He stopped the sun. The sun was going this way, the sun on the earth, the reflection of the sun. That missile out there, we couldn’t see in a million miles of it, or millions of miles. But the reflection of the sun, that was traveling across the earth, from day to night, that’s what Joshua commanded to stand still; and it stopped. A paradox is something that’s “unbelievable, yet true.” So, that’s unbelievable, but yet true.

134 How can God take a sinner, arrogant, high-tempered, fussy man, and make a saint of God out of him? How can He take a woman that’s so low, till the dogs won’t even turn to her on the street, and make a saint of God out of her? I can’t tell you. But He did it! It’s a paradox. Sure is! All God’s great works are paradox.

For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. (Romans 7:18-21)

102 Paul said then, “With my mind…(‘And I have the mind of Christ,’ you see, he said.) I serve God with my mind, but my flesh (how did he word that there at the last?)—but with the flesh, the law of sin.” What is it? My flesh says tonight, “You are too tired. Your throat is too sore. You are—you’ve been out in the wind today. You shall not go to church tonight.” That’s the law of the flesh. “You just might as well call them up and tell Brother Neville that…Send the questions down and tell him to answer them.” But you see, I promised to do it. See?

103 Now, my mind, on the inside the Holy Spirit said, “You keep your promise.”

But the flesh said, “You’re too tired.” See?

104 Now, the flesh say, “Now, there’s no need, you pretty little thing, you’re the prettiest little thing in school. Now, don’t you pay any attention to that holy roller mother of yours or that fanatic father. See? You’re the best looking girl in school.” “You’re the prettiest boy, the best looking boy, the best built. You are the most popular there is in the city.” You see? That—that…And you yield your members to that, and where do you come out at? The little end of the horn every time. See?

105 Paul said, “My flesh wants to—wants always to yield to that.” Your flesh does too. See? But the law of the Spirit of God in the heart overcomes the flesh and makes the body obey what the heart says do. Hallelujah!

106 Look, then if it will do that for a sinner, then won’t that work for sickness too? The law of the Spirit of God in the heart that knows that “By His stripes we were healed,” they stand with their power and make that sickness in that body obey them, because it’s a devil. There you are. Whew! That’s got cream on it that deep. I tell you. That’s it. See?

107 Now, the law of sin and death works in your flesh, but the law of the Spirit of Life works in your heart. So your heart, your spirit in your heart will make your body obey what it says do. That’s exactly right. Now, that’s what Paul said. Always the flesh, “I’m too tired; I’m unable; I’m not sufficient; I cannot do it.”

I said to—to Loyce or—or Delores, or somebody that’s been talking to me about the Holy Ghost, about something or other like that, I said—said, “What…”

Delores said, “What—what made me feel that way just at the time that I should have felt good?”

108 I said, “The devil. He seen you just ready to receive it. He said, ‘I’ll put a little damper on her: Phew! Fan her a little bit, you know, kinda cool down a little.’ See? But oh, my, that’s when you rise! Claim your God given rights.” That’s what Paul was meaning. See? The… “Always when,” he said, “when I would do good, evil is present.”

But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:22-23)

34 I cannot mention the man’s name, ’cause I can’t think of his name now, but many of you will remember him. They say there was an island where that the men would go, in ambush, and women would come out, singing. And their songs were so tantalizing, that the sailors passing by, in the ships, would come in. And then the ambush soldiers would—would catch these sailors off of guard, and slay them. And a certain great man wanted to pass by. And he had his sailors to tie him to a mast pole, and—and—and put something in his mouth, so he could not scream; and—and put plugs in his sailors’ ears, so they could not hear, and sail by, to hear it. And the women came out, dancing and—and screaming, and singing, and, oh, it was so great, till he turned the hide on his wrists, screaming to his sailors, “Turn in! Turn in!” But they couldn’t hear him, they had plugs in their ears.

35 And then he sailed to a certain place where they was to un-mast his, or, untie his hands, and he was to take the plugs from their ears. There, when walking on the streets, he heard a musician that was so far supreme to that down there, that when he passed by again, they said, “Oh, great rover, shall we tie you to the mast pole again?”

36 He said, “No, just let me loose. I’ve heard something so much greater, till that will never bother me no more.”

37 That’s the way it is to a borned-again Christian. They found something so much greater than the rock-and-roll’s and the entertainments of this world. They are entertained by the Holy Spirit. It’s so much greater, till the world is dead to them.

38 But when you go to this cheap entertainment, you must remember that you’ve got to take lots of money. A young fellow who takes his girl friend to these parties and these dances, and so forth, is going to pay great lot of his week’s earnings. And the old people who try to find pleasure in going to the beer parlors, to drink away their sorrows of the week, they’re going to have to pay great money. And what do they get from it? They don’t get nothing but heartache.

39 And remember, you got to settle up with God someday for it. “And the wages of sin is death.” You don’t make nothing here on earth, by it. It’s a false mirage. Drinking will only add sorrow. Sin will only add death upon death. Your final check will be separation from God, Eternally, into the Lake of Fire. And you cannot gain anything, but lose.

40 Then God comes and asks the question, “Why do you spend your money for those things that satisfies not? Why do you do it?”

41 What makes man want to do it? They spend all that they’ve got, all that they can earn, to buy drinking, to clothe some woman that they run with, or some kind of a worldly, lustful pleasures.

42 But we are told in the Bible, and are bid to come to God, “And to buy Eternal joy and Eternal Life, without money or without price.”

But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the Lord was kindled against the children of Israel. (Joshua 7:1)

54 There’s where the church is failing today, on that walk. Do you know that even your own behavior can knock somebody else out of getting healed? Your misbehavior, of unconfessed sins of you believers, can cause this church to bitterly fail. And at the Day of the Judgment you’ll be responsible for every bit of it. Oh, you say, “Now, wait a minute, Brother Branham.” Well, that’s the Truth. Think of it!

55 Joshua, after he crossed over into the land, God gave him the promise that…Just think, to fight an entire campaign without losing a man, without even getting a scratch, without having to have a nurse, or a first aid or a band. Amen. God said, “The land’s yours, go fight.” Think, of fighting a campaign, and there’s no Red Cross around at all, there’s nobody going to get hurt!

56 And they slayed the Amorites and the Hittites, but there wasn’t one hurt among any of them until sin come in the camp. And when Achan took that Babylonian garment and that gold wedge, and hid it under his camp, then the next day they lost sixteen man. Joshua said, “Stop! Stop! Wait a minute, there’s something wrong! Something’s wrong here. We’re going to call seven days of fast. God made us a promise, ‘There will be nothing hurt us.’ Our enemies will fall at our feet. And there’s something wrong here. Something went wrong somewhere, ’cause we got sixteen dead man laying here. They’re Israelite brothers, and they’re dead.”

57 Why did they die, innocent man? Because one man stepped out of line. You see reason this needs to be taught? The church lining up, lining up with the Word of God, lining up with God and lining up with each other, walking perfectly upright, soberly, before all man, fearing God. Because one man stole a garment, and done something that he should not done, took the life of sixteen man! I think it was sixteen, maybe more. I believe it was sixteen man that was dead.

58 Joshua called, said, “There’s something wrong! God made the promise, and something’s wrong.”

59 When we bring the sick up before us, and they fail to be healed, we need to call a solemn fast, call an assembly. Something’s wrong somewhere. God made the promise, God’s got to stick to that promise, and He will do it.

60 And he called a fast. And they found out, they cast the lots. And Achan confessed it. And they killed Achan, family and all, and burnt their ashes, and left it there for a memorial. And Joshua went right on through the battles, taking everything, without a scratch or a wound. There you are.

What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. (Romans 4:1-8)

86 Did you ever take your camera and set it on infinite? Why, it just means from thereafter. All right. There’s no way of focusing it in any more.

87 Well, that’s what God is. He is infinite. And if He’s infinite, there could not be a beetle, not a fly, not a flea, not a louse, not a chigger, or nothing that ever was on the earth, or ever will be, but what God knowed it before the world was ever formed. There is some conception of infinite.

88 Well, then, an infinite God Who saves you here, knowing He is going to lose you next week, or next month, or next year, why, He’s defeating the very purpose. He can’t lose you. “He that heareth My Words, and believeth on Him that sent Me, has everlasting Life and shall never come into the Judgment, but is done passed from death to Life.” Can’t do it. You’d no more…

89 “He that’s born of God does not commit sin; for the seed of God remains in him, and he cannot sin.” How can he sin when there’s a sin-offering for him?

90 How can I be sick when I’m in perfect health? How can I be blind when I can see? Oh, my! How can I be in the building and out of the building at the same time? How can I be drunk and sober at the same time? You can’t do it.

91 And when you’re saved, you’re under the Atonement, and your sins are not reckoned to you. Did not David say, “Blessed is the man who God will not reckon sin, and impute sin to”? God don’t hold the sin against His creature. That’s strong. That isn’t skim milk. But that’s the Bible. God will not reckon sin to the righteous.

92 “God,” by His grace, through predestination, “not willing that any should perish, but all might come to repentance.” But being infinite, and know who would come and who would not come, He could predestinate everything to work to His will. If He didn’t do it, why did He permit sin in the first place? When He was a Saviour…If there had never been a sinner, He would have never been a Saviour; the attribute, what was in Him, could not be pulled out.
