17 Then, the Life that was in Christ is the Holy Ghost, not the third Person; but the same Person, in the form of the Holy Spirit, coming upon you, as a Token that your life and your fare is paid, you have been accepted. Until that token comes, youre not permitted on the highway, youre not permitted on the… in the—the bus line; youre not permitted to go in until you can present this token, and that token is your fare. And now It shows that the Blood has been shed and been applied to you, the price has been applied to you, and you have the Token that the Blood is applied to you and youre accepted. Get it now? [Congregation says, Amen.—Ed.] Oh, my! Oh! 18 Now—now, 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 is how you know. See? What was you before this Token was applied? What are you after Its applied? What was your desires before, and what is your desires after? Then you know whether the Token is applied or not. And these other things just automatically go with That. See? 19 It—it isnt like talking about it, and say, Tongues is the evidence. Now, Ill bear, buy a pair of shoes, the tongue isnt the shoe. It just comes with the shoe, you see. It just comes with the shoe. See? Now, the same thing is the Token. The Token is Christ. But speaking in tongues, and casting out devils, and doing those things, and preaching, and whatever, is the evidence Its there, true, but its—its not It. See, its a gift of It. If I told you that… 20 You say, I—I want you, Brother Branham, and I give you a gift, see. Well, thats not me, thats my gift. Tongues is a gift of the Holy Ghost, not the Holy Ghost; a gift of the Holy Ghost. 21 And the devil can impersonate any of those things, but he cannot be the Holy Ghost. See? He can impersonate these gifts, but he cant be the Holy Ghost. And the Holy Ghost is the Token that the Blood has been applied, because It follows the Blood all the way from the Book of Redemption. See it? That was the purpose of Him coming. Thats what He followed in every age. Every age He has followed that, to see that Its brought forth, and they could not be made perfect without us. And now the entire Holy Spirit visits the Church, making God in human flesh; as He did before Sodom, the burning there, which was a type. Then, Abraham, He appeared to him. 22 And all the things that He hasnt done down through the ages, in the church ages, He is now doing. Back to the Word, because the messages and the messages and the messages has to wind up in the entire Word. And in the last days, the Seven Seals being opened, was to pick up every straggle thats been left off in it, and make the whole thing in one great big body of the Bride, that them who lived back there was not perfect until this Church be perfected, this Bride group in the last days, to bring them in, and all together be taken up. See? 23 The Token, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, is among us. We should reverence that. We—we—we—we cant humble ourselves enough. Taking off your shoes, or getting on your knees, wouldnt expel it; it wouldnt—it wouldnt satisfy it, wouldnt suffice us; but a life that brings forth the fruit of the Spirit! 24 Now what is the fruit of the Spirit? See? Love, joy, peace. 25 Remember this morning? Preparation, sent the messenger with the Message. Next thing He done, after He sent the messenger with the Message, He sent the Pillar of Fire for a vindication. Next thing was, after that, was a constella-… or consolation. See? You knew that it was right, you was at peace. We have peace with God, through the Lord Jesus Christ. See? 28 Now, this morning I told you, being not with you, I—I think we had another two- or three-hour Message this morning. But—but I—I just got started, and I thought Id just carry that over for tonight, but it was just too tremendous. I dont know whether the people got it or not. I hope they do, everywhere. And I hope there was some good tapes on it, so it can be carried out, to be known, that I believe, with all the Message that I ever brought, that absolute was ordained of God, outside of the… Course, the regular commission, like the Seven Seals and things, that was directly the Word of God. Im talking about a Message to preach; I believe that one was it, see, that—that, the one thats needed to follow those Seven Seals. 29 Now watch whats come after the Seven Seals: the uniting of the people, united signs, the red light flashing in the last days, the sign of women getting prettier, and man, what they would do. All these signs of the Holy Spirit leading up, then come right back here to the capping-off of all those Messages since the Seven Seals. Its capped off in this one thing, the Token, that we are all right, see, just check ourselves and see if were in the Faith. Desperations - 1963-09-01E Rev. William Marrion Branham
