AS.I.WAS.WITH.MOSES_ LA.CA THURSDAY_ 51-0503

E-40 Now, that you might not think... That you might not come... Which it isn't in your mind, but it is in some sitting out there: mental telepathy. Mental telepathy is to concentrate upon a number or something that you have in your mind. That's true.

But the power of God, through a Spirit of a prophet knows things that you don't know in your mind. Isn't that right? All right. May God of heaven grant

that you know nothing about in your mind, that you're not even thinking about. For God in heaven, Who is my sole Judge, and knows that I--I know nothing about mind reading. I know nothing of it. Only thing I see is a vision.

PATRIARCH.ABRAHAM.THE_ BAKF.CA V-22 N-7 FRIDAY_ 64-0207, 37 But the first thing, if it's a question in your mind, don't you do it at all. Don't you come in the prayer line if it's a question in your mind. Don't you come unless you absolutely believe it emphatically, there's not a wave in your mind at all, but what you're going to be healed. Then you'll go off this platform a well person. That's right. when there's not a question in your mind at all. You must believe God, not make believe, really believe.

WHY_ CHATAUQUA.OH THURSDAY_ 59-0813

E-5 And then, like a person being healed: if they're not... See, faith don't know any defeat.

A young woman come to me some years ago. It's when ladies begin to wear those, what they call scandal skirts in our country. It's kinda split up on the side. And she was a Christian girl of a certain denominational church. And she said, "Brother Branham," said, "do you think it's wrong for we Christians to wear these kind of skirts?"

And I said, "What kind is that?"

And she said, "It's a scandal skirt."

I said, "The first place, I don't see what a Christian want to wear anything that scandals." But I said, "If it... Why are you asking me? There's a question in your mind. And as long as there is a question in your mind, don't do it." That's the best way to stay away from wrong. If there's one question in your mind, stay away from it. But then when it is perfectly clear to you, then go ahead. Then you can do it with faith.

BE.NOT.AFRAID.IT.IS.I_ BEAUMONT.TX MONDAY_ 61-0123

E-18 All right. In Matthew 14:27...

And straightway Jesus said unto them,... Be not afraid--be of a good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

"Be not afraid; it is I." Now, carry that in your mind now reverently and you especially that's sick. And you that's not saved, hasn't come into the fellowship of the Spirit yet, carry that in your mind, and I'll hurry just quick as I can, call the prayer line.

COLOSSIANS 1:21

21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in [your] mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled.

DOOR.TO.THE.HEART_ CHATTANOOGA.TN SUNDAY_ 58-0302

E-27 "Oh well, I tell you; I've thought it all over, but I do smoke cigarettes. I know I oughtn't to do it." Well then, stop it! If there's a question in your mind on anything, don't do it. Any time there's a question, you're wrong. Stop it! Causes more death than anything I know of: cigarettes. "Oh," you say, "they sell them on the television." What else do they do on the television? Let me say this with a good sweet, humble feeling in my heart: a real borned again Christian knows better than to do it.

When I was a little boy, and I first was ordained in the Missionary Baptist Church, I got a little Bible. And people kept saying to me, "Brother Branham, is it wrong to smoke? Is it wrong to drink?" And I was looking at that little Bible the other day. I wrote a little thing in the back; I said, "Don't ask me foolish questions. Make this up in your mind: If you love the Lord with all your heart, you won't smoke, chew, or drink any shine." And I think that's pretty good to stay by.

QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS_ JEFF.IN COD SUNDAY_ 64-0823E

1035-Q-310 310. Brother Branham, is--is it too late to preach to sinners anymore?

No. No. Don't get that in your mind, brother. Keep on building on the house. Keep doing everything you can. Just keep on going till you're called away. See?

GREATER.THAN.SOLOMON.IS.HERE_ S.PINES.NC WEDNESDAY_ 58-0625, E-17 In the 12th chapter of Saint Matthew's gospel, and the 24th verse, we wish to read for a moment, these words. It's a little text that I've read many times, and spoke on it. And the reason I taken it tonight, is because I could hurry with it, to get to the point that I wish to get to, before prayer for the sick. And while I'm praying and speaking, I want every person in here to have this in your mind, that as soon as prayer begins to go for the sick, every one of you is going to get up and walk out of the building well. Don't have nothing else in your mind. Keep thinking that. "If there be any praise, if there be any virtue, think on these things." You cannot get anything from God with a negative thought. "He that cometh to God, must believe that He is, and a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him."

INDICTMENT.THE_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-19 SUNDAY_ 63-0707

1-1 Thank you, Brother Neville. Let's remain standing just a moment now for prayer. Let's bow our heads. Is there any spoken requests, if it'd be known by an uplifted hand? Just to God, say, "I--I..." Hold in your mind now what--what you want to ask Him, and believe it with all your heart, while I offer my prayer for you too.

WHO.IS.THIS_ SAN.JOSE.CA SUNDAY_ 59-1122

E-16 A person come to me recently and said, "Brother Branham, do you really think it's wrong for a man to smoke cigarettes as a Christian?"

I said, "Why did you ask me? That proves that you're condemned or you wouldn't have asked the question." If there is a question in your mind, get away from it. You cannot walk by faith with a question mark in your mind. If you're a Baptist and got a question mark, Pentecostal, got a question mark, Presbyterian with a question mark, get that question mark out of the way. Know Him, then there's no question to it; you know you've passed from death unto Life, because you know Him. His Spirit dwells in you; you take His nature; His Word is alive in you; everything He said is "Amen."

JEHOVAH.JIREH_ LONG.BEACH.CA SUNDAY_ 61-0212M

E-25 I said, "That don't hurt..." I said, "I don't care what you put on your prayer card, that doesn't mean a thing. (See?) It's what the Holy Spirit says."

And he said, "Well, it is..."

I said, "Well, maybe you had faith enough to get healed 'fore you come in the meeting. I..."

He said, "And that's the way it is..."

And I thought, "What's going on here?" He looked like he was Christian man. Looked around, there I looked over on the wall, like towards this way, and there I seen it, moving out. And I turned around to him. Many setting here now was right in the meeting when it happened. And I--I said "Why, why would you let the Devil put such a thing as that in your mind?" I said, "Now, you are a certain church," I won't call the name, "that don't believe. The days of miracles is past. And you was at the meeting the other night and told me, and--and said, within yourself rather, that this was nothing but a mental telepathy." And I said, "That man setting right yonder in the balcony with the red tie on and the gray suit, you was in his house the other night; you was setting at a table had a cloth pulled over it like this, and you made up in your mind that you was going to come down here and write that on your prayer card, and come in here."

And that man screamed out and said, "That is the living truth," setting up in the platform like that.

BE.NOT.AFRAID.IT.IS.I_ SANTA.MARIA.CA FRIDAY_ 62-0629

E-1 Let us just remain standing for a moment and bow our heads and hearts before God. And while we have our heads and hearts bowed, I wonder if there would be requests tonight that you'd want God to remember you in a certain manner and for a certain thing. If there is, just raise up your hand to Him like that. Now, He understands. He knows every move. He's infinite. Now, just keep that in your mind while we pray.

SATAN'S.EDEN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-20 SUNDAY_ 65-0829

20-2 Now, notice. Now, look at Revelations 3, the Laodicean Church Age. You think it in your mind. Now, notice. She, Eve, is Satan's queen. See, Satan, the serpent got to Eve before Adam got to her. See? That's right. So he beguiled her, (see?) so Satan, the serpent was the husband of Eve before Adam ever knew. See? He beguiled her. The Bible said he did, and she knowed she was naked then. See?

POSITION.IN.CHRIST_ JEFF.IN AD.3 SUNDAY_ 60-0522M

51 But being infinite, then He knows all things, knowing every time a gnat bats its eye; knowed every bumblebee, where he goes into the comb to get his honey. He knows every sparrow that sets in the tree. He knows every thought that's in your mind, because He is infinite and omniscient. That is, He not only is He infinite, He's omniscient; He knows everything. But He is a Being. God is a Being, and out of this Being begin to bring forth these.

DESPERATION_ JEFF.IN V-4 N-1 SUNDAY_ 63-0901E

18 Now, now, there's just not... No certain evidence. See? You say, "Brother Branham (I feel it in your minds. You see?), why will I know?" Look. What were you? And what are you? There's how you know. See? What was you before this Token was applied? What are you after It's applied? What was your desires before, and what is your desires after? Then you know whether the Token's applied or not. And these other things just automatically go with that. See? It--it isn't...

WHAT.SHALL.I.DO.WITH.JESUS_ JEFF.IN V-6 N-6 SUNDAY_ 63-1124M

141 Notice... Oh, don't have no flaws; be absolutely sure. If there's anything doubting in your mind you better straighten it up now. Don't wait till then; it's too late. Don't wait till you take the mark so deep you'll never see it any more. You'll be blind. He blinded Israel that He might manifest His Word. He's doing the same thing to the Gentiles, 'cause here--here you are, walking right into it just the same as they did then.

BUT.FROM.THE.BEGINNNING.IT.WAS.NOT.SO_ JEFF.IN THURSDAY_ 58-1002

E-59 As these the dear mourners, those who have felt the conviction of the Holy Spirit calling them to their final destination... And remember, it may happen to the youngest person in here within five minutes. And in one hour from now there may not be a living person on the earth. It can happen. Science said two years ago it was three minutes until midnight. You know what we've been preaching in the prophesies, just ready to happen. And why would Satan keep you caged with the least little doubt in your mind?

FAITH.IS.OUR.VICTORY_ JEFF.IN SATURDAY_ 58-1004

E-29 You pick up a magazine, it'll say, "Now, the Divine healers of this day, there is no such as Divine healers." That'll put a doubt in your mind. Somebody get on the radio and say, oh preach a pretty good sermon, but say, "The days of miracles is past." You'll support it. See, that weakens you. Sell out. Get right with God. Either be what you are or don't be at all. God's Bible doesn't teach it, then get away from it. If It does teach it, stay with it.

NEW.MINISTRY_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 59-1115

E-26 Some fellow come to me not long ago, and he said, "Brother Branham, do you think it's wrong for a Christian to smoke tobacco?"

And I said, "What are you asking me for? If there's a question in your mind, leave it alone. Don't never..."

You can't have faith unless you're perfectly sure that you're right. When all shadows is drifted away, then you can have faith and confidence. And I could not walk out there and preach that Scripture, not knowing what I was talking about. But yet, I knew It was of the Lord.

INFLUENCES_ TULARE.CA V-22 N-13 SATURDAY_ 64-0215

14 It isn't how close you can come, and how well you think you're fortified. Stay just as far away from sin as you can stay. Just get just as far away as you can. Say, "I can do this. There's no harm in doing this." Well, if there's a question in your mind, don't you do it at all. Anywhere there's a question, stay away from it. Then you see, then you're absolutely living by faith if there's no question. If there's a question, then leave it. Don't go around it at all.
