5min 24sec… (The question arose when the church was looking for a
pastor, “can someone be raised up from the congregation”?)  The
church would have to think about these things that you would want that
person to visit with you, pray with you, council with you. That person
would also be doing a certain amount of studying under me because
that’s how people are raised up. And there will be no room for that
person to ever take that position and to fail; you understand what I’m
talking about. Now we’re getting real serious because we’re not
going to experiment anymore at anytime we’re not fooling around.  

21min 45sec… When I teach certain things, I’m aiming more at a
spirit behind what we’re dealing with than necessarily the subject
matter that is being presented because if the spirit is not one…that
is… actually one with the Word , the benefits of that Word are not
going to be fully forth coming. 

37min 25sec… This is the hour of relaxation remember he said how that
the promise always has two sides , the coin has two sides the negative
and positive, blessing and cursing; cursing and blessing. And you know
what he said about this ring of angels that was the appearing of the
sign of the son of man, yes sir. Same as what was in the tent beside the
tent. Now you got to let your thinking go for those. If you let your
thinking go then you can get God’s thinking. If you don’t let your
thinking go you can’t get God’s thinking. The prophet did not have a
corner on that now, he had an edge over us but he didn’t have the
corner on it. When he turned the corner we turned the corner, right. 

42min 47sec… He was telling how that one of the last times when he sat
with Brother Branham, that would be of course in the east but not in the
west because Brother Hickerson had not moved out until Brother Branham
deceased. And Brother Branham told him, Hick he said; he would never
call him by his first name Harland he didn’t like that name he said
we’re going to call you hickory, hickory nut; or hick. He said Hick
just listen…here he said now listen, I’m up here in this status
before God and you’re down here. Now when I go off the scene you’ll
be up here where I am and that’s what we found when Brother Branham
left then there is one who must increase and Brother Branham decreased.
What would be the use of Jesus in the Spirit of God, Christ increasing
if it weren’t in our lives because He’s already proven to be here
and thoroughly vindicated? So this is for us

47min…One day we got to part if the Lord does not come for us and
Brother Branham said tell the person now…give him his flowers, his
roses; he did that to me. I want to do that to you to; to keep telling
you I appreciate your love your kindness there’s not one thing you do
that falls unnoticed and though we have our differences perhaps, we’re
human we have differences we must never ever fail to give credit where
credit is due and as you give credit I don’t care whom that person is
you may have the greatest falling out with that person but if you begin
thinking of what that person has done which is no????in any respect, you
will find something begins to come to light which a healing balm and you
can not have that until you begin to give that credit. See Christ died
for His own; He did not die for the sinner. There is something He saw
that's worth dying for, right? We have to also see that, something in
people’s lives and when you do, you begin to reach out, that’s what
it’s all about.  

52min… I do recognize some of the names on the sheet are prayer
request and their all very necessary to remember these people when you
pray morning and night  which you should have I trust you should have
family worship  time you get together spend some time make some effort,
always keep that in mind. Cause look here I’m going to tell you what.
A lot of people are going to lie down on the job; if everybody doesn’t
pray then you got to make up for it. Now a lot of preachers are lazy
when they won’t preach the Message and I got to make up for it. And so
a lot of people don’t testify you got to make up for it, right? You
got to do it. You got to take the added burden on. You don’t say well
hey somebody…let the low down, phooey on him I’ll just back off too.
You say well look like we better grab a hold and do a little more…
right? That’s it, so that’s what we’re looking to, the blessing of
the Lord and so just want to encourage you and hope you’re encouraged
by these remarks 

57min 21sec… I want you to notice something here that we take a very
strong stand against organization denominations. See people even amongst
us do not realize there is a church and there is a bride and the bride
comes out of the church. Remember Eve came out of Adam, she was in there
but remember the foolish virgins is in the denomination, that’s where
most of them are and their good people in there it’s the organization
and denomination that’s wrong but I can tell you one thing. Now I
don’t care where you go to any denomination there are people who do
not believe what their being told. They believe something different. And
they’ll be the foolish virgin. They will not take what the church
says. That goes for the Catholic Church that goes for any church I have
found them and you will find them as you go along in this life. so many
people will not go along with the church in other words their in
there…sort of trapped in there, they won’t come out but in the
resurrection at the White Throne they will come up and they will be a
part of that great throng. And so trapped in the organization
denominations, there have been a bride and those will come out. The
foolish virgins the one difference between the virgin foolish and the
virgin wise is what...oil. That's the only difference.
