✓ Little old things: evil spirits: bad habits ✓ Little old things - finally keep you out of the promised Land (Token)
>> 152 No matter how long you been a Christian, and you still got those little old spirits that talk to you, makes you fly loose, makes you talk about somebody. When somebody comes up and goes to speaking about somebody else, you join right in with them and, oh, just run them down. That’s wrong, brother. Don’t do that. That’ll finally keep you out of the promised Land. If you just got a little old things that you oughtn’t to have, if the love of God really isn’t in your heart, won’t you be lady and man, walk up and say, “God, right here I’m going to dump it out, this morning, right here. I’m going away from this altar a different person.” Would you come?
... ...
Little old petty things, little old things that makes you talk or start some kind of a little fussing in the church, make you take sides with something another like that. Oh, that’s ungodly. That’s discord among brethren. And don’t do that. You don’t want that. You don’t want that and little old things, little old tempers and everything else, to keep you down.
149 Say, “God, I don’t want that thing no more. I’m sick and tired of it. I’m ready today to discard it. I’m coming now, Lord, and I want to get away from all my selfishness. If my brother doesn’t treat me right, I’ll pray for him anyhow. If my daddy doesn’t treat me right, I’ll love him anyhow. If my wife doesn’t treat me right, or my husband, I’ll go about, humble, before God. Lord, I look only to Your Kingdom. I want my mind straight. I want my heart full of joy. I want to go about, when trouble is really buzzing around me, I still want to stay with my hands up and my heart pure before You, Lord, knowing this, that someday I’ll meet You. I want that kind of experience. Lord, make me that, from this day.”
150 Would you raise your hand, somebody that didn’t raise their hand a while ago. God bless you. God bless you. Sister, give us a little chord while we have our heads bowed. How much do you really mean it? Don’t play now. This is not a playing time. This is a receiving time. This is a time that you must get It. Come, dump it out right now. Will you? Come, give all you got to God. Say, “God, I ain’t got very much. I’m just a little housewife. I can’t do very much, Lord, but I—I can read Your Bible, I can pray every day. I can throw out all the trash that’s in my mind. I can throw all that stuff out. I’m guilty of a lot of things that preacher said this morning, so I—I’m dumping it out today. I don’t want it. God, fill me with love. Fill me with the thing that make me love the bitterest enemy I got. I really want it, Lord.”
>> 52 Give me a preacher, give me a Christian, give me a housewife that’s a Christian, give me a farmer, or a factory worker, that will put God first in everything, I’ll show you a man will be successful in the spite of all the devil can put on him. He seeks God, first. We must have first…
>>Quote WMB: 24 My father was a very personal friend to a…or, no intimate friend, rather, to a noted infidel. And he said, “There is no such a thing as God.” He cursed the very thoughts of God. His wife would hook up the buggy and go to church, and he would go out and plow his corn on Sunday, and everything, just to show that there was no such a thing as God.
25 One day, he had just put up his wheat, and got it all shocked up; lightning struck it, burnt it up. He got out there and raised his hand and cursed the very thoughts of God. And, when he did, then lightning struck his barn where he had some fine race horses, and killed them, every one.
26 And a few weeks after that, he set in with walking typhoid fever, and died, while my daddy help hold him into the bed. And he screamed and cried, the devils, with chains wrapped around him, was coming after him, and everything else. And when he went to go out, he called his family together, his little children. He said, “Don’t you go the way that your daddy has gone. Go the way your mother goes, for that’s the only way of Life.”
Tetestimonies of some stepping into death: <Stepping Into Death: The Cry of the Lost and the Song of the Redeemed”>
>>Quote WMB: 27 I have a book at home, and gives the testimony of many outstanding man, such as the great…one of the great queens of—of England, and some of the other man. When they were stepping out into death, they screamed and cried.
28 The Queen Elizabeth, of England, said, “If I could only have…I’d give my kingdom if I had five minutes more life, that I could make my repentance, and my heart right with God.”
29 Another great noted man, said, “I’m stepping out into darkness. I know not where I’m going. I could…”
30 And another great atheist spoke, and said, “There seems to be two walls, and I screamed, and,” said, “just an echo from wall to wall.” That’s all he could hear. He had put off the day of salvation until it was too late.
31 Then I think of great, noted men who died, believing in our Lord Jesus Christ and His resurrection. I think of, here, of—of D. L. Moody, at his death, a lot have said. “Why, is this death?” He said, “This is my coronation day.” And I thought, when—when John Wesley, when he was dying. When Abraham Lincoln was shot and was bleeding to death, laying in a—a place.
32 I passed by a museum, and over in Illinois here, some time ago. I seen an aged colored man with a little ring of white hair around his head, walking around, looking. After a while he stopped, and the tears run down his cheeks. He backed off and started saying over a prayer. I watched him for a few minutes. I was walking around, too, so I walked over and I said, “Uncle, what’s the matter? I notice you are praying.”
He said, “Look, laying there.”
33 Well, I looked laying there, and the only thing I could see was a dress. And he said…I said, “Only thing I see is a dress.”
34 “But,” said, “look, sir.” He said, “Beneath my coat is a scar of a slave belt.” He said, “And that’s the blood of Abraham Lincoln.” He said, “It taken the blood of Abraham Lincoln to take that slave belt off of me.”
35 I thought, “If it would excite a colored man, because that of the blood of Abraham Lincoln, because it taken a slave belt off of him; what ought the Blood of Jesus Christ mean to the believer, when we look back to Calvary and see there that He taken the slave belt of sin from our hearts, and freed us,” that we’ve been talking about, the last few nights. What a difference It is!
36 Abraham Lincoln, when he was dying, he had an ultimity. And when he…but when he was shot there, in this great cathedral, and he was dying in his bed, he said, “Turn my face towards the setting of the sun.” The sun was going down at evening. Lincoln was breathing, and the blood gurgling in his lungs. He had always trusted God. He said, “Hold up my hands.” And he held his hand. He said, “Our Father Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name,” as he bowed his head and gave up the spirit.
37 Paul Rader, a bosom friend of mine, that wrote my theme song, Only Believe; when he was dying yonder, he had just leaned his shoulder, head over on the shoulder of my manager, Mr. Baxter. He had been a great gallant man who had traveled the seas and overseas, and everything, and he had got mixed up out yonder, and got mixed up with some fundamentalists, and his message just worried him to death. And when he was dying, he was laying in the room, and near death, was struggling up close.
38 And here is the real victory of a man. He was always a great cutup, Paul was, as many of you knew him. They had the quartet from the little Moody Bible Institute down there. And they had the shades all pulled down, around the windows, when he was going. He raised up, looked. He shook his head, and he said, “Who is dying, you or I?” Said, “Raise them curtains, and sing me some good, lively, resurrection, Gospel songs.”
39 And when they begin to sing like that, he said, “Where is my brother, Luke?”
40 Brought his brother. Luke went with him like my boy does with me, and so forth. Luke was in the next room, crying. Luke come in; a great big wide-shouldered man, probably you know him. Him and Ma Sunday, and all of them, was there.
41 When he turned around, he took Luke by the hand, said, “Luke, we’ve come a long ways together. But, think of it, in five minutes from now, I’ll be standing in the Presence of Jesus Christ, clothed in His righteousness.”
>> 20 And, now, and it’s been the fear of man, down through the ages, was death. Every man that come into the world always feared death. Great…We’ve had Napoleons, we’ve had Hitlers, and everything; but when it comes to the hour of death, every one of them shrinks. I’ve heard man speak and boast of great blasphemy things; but, when it comes to death, they, every one, shrink back.
21 Like Bob Ingersoll, the great noted infidel, when he took his watch out and held it out to his folks, and said, “If there is a God, I’ll die in a minute, from the tick of this clock.” Then, after the minute passed, he never died. He made a great big “ha-ha,” and word, and said, “You see, there is no such a thing as God.” But when…
22 Course, that was only to fulfill Scripture. The Scripture said that, that, “Scoffers come in the last days,” and we have them.
23 So he said, “Now, see, there is no such a thing as God.” But in the hospital room when he was dying, where many had gathered to see what would take place, he screamed, “O God, have mercy on my soul!”
✓ Unrecognized Jesus ✓ He Was There and You Knew It Not ✓ The Unseen Companion
>> 133 And as they journeyed on, they talked through the day. Now they was about a few furlongs, about a mile and a half, from Jerusalem, where they were going. Slowly walking along, right with the very resurrected Christ, and didn’t know it.
134 How many times has He set in the seat with you! How many times has He stood with you in the hours of your trials and troubles, and you didn’t recognize it! How many times He was at the wheel when you almost was killed in that accident, or just dodged that accident or something, and you didn’t recognize it was Him! How that He was with you when the barrel was empty, and the cruse was dry, and there was nothing for the babies; how that man come and set them groceries down at the door, whatever it was! That was Christ. He is alive today. He is not dead, but He lives.
>>Quote WMB: I can remember 1933, August the 16th at two o’clock in the afternoon, I mean June the 16th at two o’clock in the afternoon. I had just recently been ordained a Missionary Baptist minister, and was holding my first revival where three thousand something people attended. And then, that afternoon, I was baptizing five hundred converts at the—the river’s bank at the foot of Spring Street at Jeffersonville, Indiana, where I live. And the newspaper photographers was out, and many of the church people, there was around seven or eight thousand people on the bank.
51 And I walked out into the water, and they, the choir was singing that great ol’ song of the Church:
On Jordan’s stormy banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye,
To Canaan’s fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.
52 About the seventeenth or eighteenth person the deacons and trustees that leading out into the water was a young fellow by the name of Colvin. All the skies were brassy, the corn was all withered up, we hadn’t had rain for three weeks or more. Oh, it was suffering, the crops was. And the sky was like brass.
53 And I took this young fellow, and I said to him, “Do you believe on the Lord Jesus, and have you accepted Him as your personal Saviour?”
He said, “I have, Brother Branham.”
I said, “I seen you at the altar the other night. Now, are you sure of this, young man?”
He said, “I am sure.”
54 So then, I took him by the hand, and turned his face to the bank, and announced his name, and asked God that He would bless his life. And I was just ready to baptize him, when I heard Something say, “Look up!”
55 Well, I got scared, I thought somebody on the bank was saying it, I was just a boy preacher. I had never been married yet, my to-be-wife was taking pictures on the bank, which is my son Billy’s mother.
56 And I heard it again, and up to the third time, said, “Look up!” And when I looked up towards the heavens, a place about ten feet square looked like water in the blue skies moving around. And out of that blue-water-like, came a Light coming down from Heaven. The people begin to screaming, many fainted.
57 And the Voice said, “As John the Baptist was sent forth to warn the people of the first Coming of Christ, your ministry will warn them of the second Coming, around the world.”
58 And immediately after that, of course that article went on the Associated Press into Canada, and everywhere. And it’s come to pass. From that revived up come Oral Roberts and all the rest, and a revival has swept around the world and still moving.
59 Therefore I feel that the great Holy Spirit, today, is the same Watchman that was in the tower at the beginning, He’s still the warning Voice speaks, “Prepare to meet thy God.”
60 Every time you see a gray hair, it’s a sign you got to meet God; every time you hear a ambulance go down the street, it’s a sign you’ve got to meet God; every time you pass a graveyard, it’s a sign you got to meet God. You must meet Him sometime or other, prepare now, for the hour is approaching.

Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
With partings, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing over life’s solemn main,
When a forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
