FAITH

BELIEVEST THOU THIS? MINNEAPOLIS MN 50-0716

E-69 069 I will tell you what I did. I went and got me a piece of paper and made a little fire, and set the old boy on it. He walked then, I--I mean say. That's right.

And what the Church needs today is an old fashion Gospel of fire--fire of the Holy Ghost fall along the altar, and in every heart. It'll make a church, sure as the world. That's right. Yes, sir. Get the power of God back. Get the Holy Spirit back in the people's hearts again where you can have a living faith in God, when you say Divine healing, "Yes, I accept It." Hallelujah. That's right. Back to the Bible and back to the Holy Spirit. Sure, how wonderful...

REVELATION BOOK OF SYMBOLS JEFF IN 56-0617

136 081 And we bow to give thanks to God. Now, Father, we thank You for Your healing. And we thank You for that loyal mother and lovely little girl who was willing to come and show that Jesus still lives and reigns. To see that big, ugly-looking thing like a cancer, puffed up all over head and side there, and You healed her and took it away. We thank You for it. And we pray now that You'll bless that loyal mother, whose heart is thrilled. When the little girl is a woman, may she still be testifying of Your praise.

Now, I continue to lay hands on the sick, as brother and I anoint. And may they receive the same kind of blessing that this little girl did. If they could only believe it in childlike faith, like the child did, it should be so. [Blank.spot.on.tape. Brother Branham and Brother Neville continue praying for the sick--Ed.]

CONDEMNATION BY REPRESENTATION JEFF 60-1113

15-5 043 Hybrid faith. It'll read Hebrews 13: it say, "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever." Hebrews... And then the hybrid faith comes in: "Well, in a certain way, He's the same yesterday, today and forever; but He's not... He can't heal today, 'cause that's out of His program." But genuine faith will say He is the same. It's not hybrid. It's not... It's not all churched up with theology of man, not mule religion: man's word and God's Word mixed together.

WHY BLOOMINGTON IL 61-0413

E-59 059 I got a little Bible when I first started out, I wrote a little book; there should be somebody say, "Is it wrong to smoke, is it wrong to drink, is it wrong to do so-and-so?"

I said, "Don't ask me foolish questions. Make this up in your mind. If you love the Lord with all your heart, you don't smoke, chew, or drink any shine." And that's... I still stand by that. When the love of God's in your heart, you have got no time for nothing else. You're sold out. The Bible says, "If you love the world or the things of the world, it's because the love of God's not even in you." And your own life tells about it. I hope that's plain enough, I won't have to get any plainer. See? But that's true. "By their fruits you know them."

So shake ourselves. Let's be Pentecostal or--or be something else. If we are not Pentecost, let's quit saying we are (See?), until we get back to the real Pentecostal experience, get back to faith, daring faith. Them disciples sealed their death with their faith. Oh, faith of out fathers living still in spite of dungeon, flame, or sword. That's what we want, real genuine faith.

WHY CRY SPEAK JEFF IN 63-0714M

25-3 053 Now, Moses give away to that, and he set his faith paralyzed the world. Either your faith will paralyze glamour, or either the glamour will paralyze your faith. Now, you have to take one or the other. And you see the Bible don't change; God don't change. He's the unchangeable God.

And now we find today that people of this day (See?), they look to the big things, the big organizations. "I belong to the So--and--so," See? And they go down there and look; there's no difference from the street people. There's no other things... They have a little intellectual something he want... When you talk about Divine healing, the Pillar of Fire, the Light of God; they say, "That's mental."

PERFECT FAITH JEFF IN 63-0825E

139 056 When Satan tempts us, we are to resist him in a perfect faith in a perfect Word, like Jesus did. The Word of God is perfect. We're to have perfect faith in this perfect Word and resist Satan.

Now, we'll hurry, just as quick as we can.

By His faith in--in His Word we--He conquer--we can conquer anything, both death, hell, and the grave. We know that God is God, that perfect faith in God's perfect Word, He conquered everything that He come in contact with. Death could not even stand in His Presence. Sickness could not stand in His Presence. Flowing from Him was like rivers of virtue, going out constantly, virtue going from His garment. These people, laid in the shadows, just put their finger on His garment and was healed. When that woman done that, then everybody wanted to touch His garment, 'cause they seen that there was virtue going from Him constantly, flowed like rivers. There He was, walking, walking in a world of perfect faith, because He was the Word.

FAITH COMETH BY HEARING CHICAGO IL 54-0320

E-28 028 I'm telling you, faith... But you've got to have hope and charity. If you've got real burly faith and no love with it, you've ruin your influence before the people (if you haven't got love mixed with it). See? You seen people, a real burly, what we would say (excuse the expression) a bulldog faith, to grab a hold, but is so rough with it. Then you see when you do that, it doesn't--it hasn't got the kindness here to move with it. So what we need is hope, faith, and charity. Isn't that right? Hope, faith, and charity, together. God help our church to have it like that, the people, to have that combination.

HAVE FAITH IN GOD PITTSFIELD MA 58-0510

E-15 015 Faith, why, it's the most common thing there is. You can't even get a drink of water without faith. You couldn't come to this meeting without faith. You cannot move your finger without faith. It's said in the Scripture that when they put the Blood on the lintel of the door, for the passover in Egypt, it was put on the hyssop. Do you know what hyssop is? Hyssop is common weed. You can just find it anywhere. And that's the way the Blood is to be applied to the heart's door, tonight, is by something common, faith.

We try to press it out, and make it something, that no one can take a hold of. It's so simple, that you go over the top of it, trying to find it. "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen," said the writer of Hebrews the 11th chapter, 1st verse.

UNCERTAIN SOUND CHICAGO IL 61-0429E

E-92 092 You believe with all your heart? What about some of you people setting down here? What do... You believe with all your heart? Then have faith.

What about you setting here, this colored man, setting here looking at me. You have a prayer card? No. You don't need one. You've got faith, and that's all you need. You believe me to be His prophet... or His servant? You believe that with all your heart? I'm a stranger to you. We're two different races of people, and our first time meeting. But you seem to have a good feeling to your spirit. You got faith of some sort. That's good faith for somebody else, you're praying for though. That's right. Your sister, she has cancer. If that's right, wave your hand. All right, believe and she'll get well.

You believe with all your heart? If thou canst believe, all things are possible.

FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD CLEVELAND OH 50-0822

E-45 045 Oh, my. Friends, I--I... You may think that I'm a awful peculiar sort of a person. But I wished I could just take the faith that's in my heart and spread it out to you right now. You see what I mean? There'll be a spontaneous something happen here that every person in the building...

You say, "Well now, Brother Branham, I don't know whether I can move my hand or not." You'll never move it as long as you think that. Believe that He's done it, and go say He's done it, and act like He's done it. Move it an inch. If you can't move it, let's take it all, move it a little bit farther. The next day I'll move it a little farther. The next day I'll move it a little farther. Satan said, "That's far as you can go."

Say, Oh, no, I'm going on." Keep on with it. Stay with it.

Great faith will bring you right now. A little faith will bring you on anyhow if you'll stay with it. Just when you see the ray of light, follow it. Stay with it; it'll bring you out. Oh, my.

EARNESTLY CONTENDING FOR THE FAITH CHICAGO IL 55-0123E

E-28 028 Paul was down here in the natural realm with his Ph.D. See? He didn't know... He had an intellectual faith, but he didn't have a Divine faith. There's quite a difference in me having an intellectual faith than a Divine faith. There's where you, my Baptist friends, fail to go on. You get the intellectual faith by that, but it must be a Divine revelation of Jesus Christ to you that just came out of the heart. The intellectual faith is not enough. That's all right, but it only brings you to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a personal experience of the birth, the new birth, regeneration, making a new creature in Christ. (a partial quote)

TOKEN THE BAKF CA 64-0208

14 007 The blood tonight is applied by simple faith, just not nothing supernatural. It's right around you everywhere. Just simply like a child, reach out and get ahold of it and apply the blood. The hyssop is just a simple childlike faith for the believer. It isn't something out of your reach. You don't have to reach very far to get it.

This hyssop that grows in that country, it grows out of the cracks of the walls: a little, kind of a diamond-shaped leaf. You can pick it up anywhere, just as--as grass, or weeds would be in--in the country here now. Just pick it up, apply it, put it on the door.

That's the way faith is to be applied. Take faith rather, and apply the Blood of Jesus Christ by faith to the heart's door.

This was going to separate and make the difference between those who were going out of Egypt and those who were going to stay in Egypt and perish with Egypt. It made the difference.

SHOW US THE FATHER DAWSON CREEK BC 61-0521

E-9 009 You know, there's many times that we try to reach out for something, for a certain kind of a faith. And you don't have to have some kind of a super faith to--to be healed. The only thing you have to have is just take the faith that you got.

You know, in the Bible the blood was applied to the doors by hyssop. Our clergy brothers know that. Hyssop is just common weed. And what it is, the people today are trying to reach to find an orchid to apply the blood with. And it's not even applied by an orchid. It's applied by hyssop, common, just everyday faith, just like...
