“For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.” [Hebrews 4:2]
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” [John 3:16-18]
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” [Romans 10:9-10]
“They seen the miracles of Moses. They said, "That's pretty good." And they walked over. They, they seen him perform miracles. And they seen the Pillar of Fire, maybe, or heard them talk about It. "Oh, that's all right." But it wasn't mixed with personal faith. For as soon as they got to the wilderness, they (every one) begin to murmur. And God said, "Because that they doubted, it was sin." Don't doubt nothing. Believe. Don't doubt, no matter how hard the case is, believe It. Now they begin to murmur, and God overthrowed them. And then He swore, in His wrath, that, "They should never enter into His Rest." And the Bible said here, I believe It's in the--the 3rd chapter, that, "Their carcases fell in the wilderness." The good news to us now, that, "God has sent a Deliverer, the Holy Ghost, and we're on the road to the promised Land." Now people has made it creeds and denominations, but God still remains, that, our Rest is "the Holy Ghost." Notice.... gospel was preached... unto them as well as unto us: but the word preached did not profit them, the... Remember:... the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. Oh, my brethren, let me stop here for a minute. No matter how much the Word is preached, how well you like the way It's been preached; unless you yourself are a partaker of That, It won't do you one bit of good.... not being mixed with faith by them that heard it.” [57-0901E, Hebrews Chapter Four, Jeffersonville IN]
“Huh! "Oh," they say, "sure, we believe That." Then where is the Life of Christ in these forms? Where is the Life of Christ? Second... You want to put some of these Scriptures down. See? Where is the Life? If... They say, "Well, we believe. We believe. We believe." If you do, then... Jesus said, "These signs shall," not they may be, "they shall follow them that believe." Jesus said, "If a man believes on Me, the works that I do, he'll do them also. He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also." He just won't play around. He'll do it. How can it happen? Because, there's the very Life that's in Christ, is in you. It won't put forth any wisdom; it won't grow in it. It's got to deny the wisdom, to take the--the faith. Faith in the Word, not wisdom in the Word. Faith in the Word!” [62-0401, Wisdom Versus Faith, Jeffersonville IN]
“Satan has got more wisdom in that Word than any, all the preachers throwed together, priests and everything. Got more wisdom, but he can't have faith. Faith will make It live. Faith would make him repent, will make him get away from his organization. Hum! He's got wisdom, so he just stays with it. All right. "But Abel by faith saw it was a sex act, and he offered blood, the life of blood, and God received it." [62-0401, Wisdom Versus Faith, Jeffersonville In]
“Come away from that hybrid tree. Get over here to the original fruit that's got life in it. Eat of Him. Jesus said, "I'm the Bread of Life that come from God out of heaven. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness (not being mixed with faith. See?) --eat manna in the wilderness and they're all dead. But I'm the Bread of Life that come from God out of heaven. He that eats this Bread has Eternal Life. I'll raise him up at the last days. He shall never perish; he's got Everlasting Life." Let's come back to the Tree this morning. Let's get away from what man says. Let's get away from what the--the--the churches say. Let's come back and take the Bible, and believe the Bible. We're--we're too late now to go to fussing. See?” [60-111, Condemnation By Representation, Jeffersonville IN]
“The Blood and the Body of the Lord, mixed with faith, that's the Blood and the Body, that's the Spirit and the Word, mixed with faith, equals Eternal Life. "He that eats My Flesh and drinks My Blood has Eternal Life, and I will raise him up at the last day." There you are. What is it? The communion of the Lord. The Word and the Spirit, this Life is in the Blood, the Word and the Spirit equals Eternal Life, by faith in the Lord.” [62-0204, Communion, Jeffersonville In]
“Faith, if it's in your heart and God has planted it there, and you believe it, there's nothing going to stand in your way. Every doctor could tell you contrary; every pastor could tell you something different; that wouldn't make one speck of difference; you've got it. And you're just as happy, when it drops in your heart, as you are when you possess what you're asking for. There you are. Now, if our blessed Lord, will be so good to come here tonight, and will manifest Hisself in our presence, and show that He's here... Now, how is faith sent? You say, "Brother Branham, I got a sick child; my mother's sick. I'm sick myself, would you heal us?" I wish I could, but I can't.” But through a Divine gift it could show you that every promise in the Bible is true and it's yours. And when Christ is present, then reach up and say, "Lord Jesus, manifest Yourself to me just now and give me faith to believe it."Then into your heart drops that purchasing power, "I have it." No scramble for the prayer line, just going down the street rejoicing, it's settled. It's the evidence of things you do not have, but you have the purchase power. And then, the Bible said that Moses endured, as seeing Him Who is invisible. [57-1212, The Door Of The Door, Newark NJ]
