“Claim it”

EXPECTATIONS LA CA 51-0507

E-33 033 I am not taking very much discernment these nights. I just turned myself loose to feel good with the Holy Ghost with you all while I'm here on this time.

And we got a right to anything God promised. Just claim it, receive it; believe it; go on. You got any symptoms, forget about them. The symptoms don't mean nothing. That's right. Just believe it.

WILL I FIND FAITH WHEN I RETURN LA CA 51-0508

E-61 061 And now, you ministers here as you go pray for the sick, you probably never will, and it probably won't be in my age, never again for these things; and don't try it, unless you know that God is speaking, 'cause something would happen. But you're ministers; you're children of God, and people are sick. Look at the hundreds of them there. Go out, get going, pray for the sick, get them started, build faith, lay your hands on them. You got a right to claim it. Go and do it in the Name of the Lord, everyone of you. See? Go out into the highways, hedges, byways, everywhere, claim this Gospel.

ABRAHAM MACON GA 55-0608

E-38 038 Now, He made the covenant. And notice, He went between those, proving, showing to Abraham what through his seed He would do, Christ Jesus, in the years to come. That He'd make a covenant through Christ to the Gentiles, for every man in the world. Everybody that would come, this covenant would be... It's with you tonight, unconditionally.

If you become a Christian, every redemptive blessing of God belongs to you. It's your personal property. You got a right to claim it. If you let Satan push you over in the corner, well, that's up to you. But, brother, stand up there toe-to-toe with this Scripture, and say, "It is written." That's right. That's the way your Lord did it.

ONENESS JEFF IN 62-0211

237 122 Now, I'm asking, Lord, for these precious people that's believing You, that You'll heal them. Them in the audience, heal them, Lord. May their faith just reach up and get ahold of that Word right now, and say, "Tumor, sickness, evil, you might as well leave; I'm cutting with the Sword of God. I'm believing. My faith is strong; I'm pressing the Sword deep. Move out of my way. I'm rising from my seat to be well." "I'm laying my hand upon my father, upon my sister, and my child, upon my neighbor. I'm believing. Your Word is Truth. I'm in oneness with You. The works that You said that You did, we'd do also. Lord God, I believe every Word. And I'm coming forward, coming forward to claim it, to pick it up this morning."

ONENESS JEFF IN 62-0211

241 124 Now, you that's got strength enough to yield a Sword, now that you've got understanding enough in God's Word to claim It to be your personal property, who can pick up the Word of God now in your hand, hold It out in the hand of faith, and say, "I take my side with the Lord. I'll be oneness with my God from this on. I'll yield this Sword of the Spirit in this Word, and I'll cut the Devil 'till every promise that God promised me."

If you believe that with all your heart, I ask you then sincerely with all my heart, in the Name of Jesus Christ, stand to your feet and accept it. Do you mean it? Are you sincere? Is the Word in your hand? Is your hand your faith? Raise your physical hand to God, say, "God, by this, by my uplifted hand I pledge all my life. I pledge my soul; I pledge my thinking; I pledge everything to the Word of God. Let the Holy Spirit take my faith now and give to me the thing. Cut every doubt away from me. And by faith I receive the promise that I asked for this moment...?..."

If you believe it, say "Amen" now. [Congregation says, "Amen".--Ed.] Say, "Amen" again. Amen, and amen, and amen. Then if you mean that with all your heart, in the Name of Jesus Christ, I promise you what you asked for. Amen. You believe it with all your heart. God bless you. Brother Neville.

PERSEVERANCE NY 63-1116E

155 067 Now, she went after Him again, "Lord, can't I just have?" And she wasn't thinking about what she'd come through. She wasn't thinking about what she'd have to go through. The only thing she knowed, she believed if she could get Him to say so. That's all she needed to know, if He would say so. She knowed it was working on others, why wouldn't it work on hers?

You fight every inch of the way. God, down in Egypt, give Palestine to the Jews, but they fought every inch of the way. God told Joshua, "Everywhere the soles of your feet rests, that I have given you." Footsteps meant victory, possession. And just as far as you can climb into the Kingdom of God, if you just want to climb a little piece, and say, "Well, I believe I may not have to go to hell, but I--I believe that I'll be saved at the end, if I join church," you ain't got much ground yet. But every promise in the Bible is yours, but you'll have to fight every devil guard away from it with a two-edged sword, and claim it for yourself. Be persistent, walking right into it.

TOKEN THE DALLAS TX 64-0308

125 052 Here, make it plain now, and I want you sick people to get this. Look, if I was starving to death, and I know a loaf of bread, say, costs a quarter, and along comes a brother and says, "Here is a quarter, Brother Branham. You're starving; take this quarter." Now, you know, I can be just as happy with that quarter in my hand as I can with the bread in my hand, because I've got the purchase price. I've got the token that gets the bread. And right there is the bread; and the only thing, and I'm holding the token, the quarter that buys the bread, I can be just as happy with the token as I can with the bread.

Now, if you've got the baptism of the Holy Ghost, that is the Token that you have every redemptive thing that Jesus died for, belongs to you; it's in your hand. Are you afraid to claim it?

If I put it in my pocket, and say, "Well, I don't know whether I can buy that bread or not," I'll starve to death. But remember, the merchant says, "I have one requirement, Mr. Branham. One twenty-five cents, you can have the loaf of bread." I got it. Amen. That settles it.

That's the reason we don't see so many things done today, the Token isn't displayed, the real Token. Oh, we have all kinds of bogus, but I mean the real Token.

MASTERPIECE THE JEFF IN 64-0705

98 062 On and on we could go. Because He was simply the match of David. He was a match of Moses. He was the match of Elijah. He was the match of Joseph. Everything that was portrayed or foretold by in the Old Testament, matched right into that. What is it? Showing a perfect Redeemer that we could put our old, dirty clothes into the laundry and go claim it again. It's been washed in the Blood of the Lamb. We can claim what's our own. And everything that He died for, we can claim it.
