[00:00:00]Amen.

[00:00:01]Amen. Now, WHAT IS THIS QUICKENING POWER? THE PROPHET OF GOD says in the Easter seal, "ARE WE REALLY GETTING THE PEOPLE to God, or are we just getting THEM TO CHURCH?"

[00:00:13]WE MUST GET THEM TO CHRIST.

[00:00:16]LET ME TELL YOU, THE MESSAGE OF THE HOUR IS NOT TO BRING YOU TO YOUR PASTOR.

[00:00:22]THE MESSAGE OF THE HOUR IS NOT TO BRING YOU TO BROTHER BRANHAM.

[00:00:26]THE MESSAGE OF THE HOUR IS TO BRING YOU TO CHRIST.

[00:00:30]AND I WILL DO MY ALL, AS LONG AS I'VE GOT BREATH IN MY BODY, TO INTRODUCE YOU TO JESUS CHRIST. TO INTRODUCE YOU THE UNFAILING CHAMPION. THE UNFAILING CHAMPION IS NOT BROTHER BLESSING.

[00:00:43]BROTHER BLESSING HAS MISTAKES. HE HAS GOT HIS OWN FAILURES. BUT THERE IS AN FAILING CHAMPION. HIS NAME IS JESUS CHRIST. HE IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND FOREVER. SHOUT AMEN, SOMEBODY.

[00:00:58]>> [cheering and applause] >> AMEN.

[00:01:02]WHERE IS THIS QUICKENING POWER?

[00:01:06]IT'S GOOD TO GO TO CHURCH, AND YOU MUST.

[00:01:09]SURE, IF THAT'S AS FAR AS WE GO, IT'S NOT FAR ENOUGH.

[00:01:13]When you come to church, THAT'S GOOD.

[00:01:16]BUT GO ON TO CHRIST FROM THE CHURCH.

[00:01:22]BECAUSE WE GATHER HERE FOR 2 HOURS ON A SUNDAY. [screaming] WE GATHER HERE FOR 2 HOURS ON A WEDNESDAY. THE REST OF THE HOURS YOU ARE ALONE.

[00:01:32]SO YOU DON'T NEED AN AN OUTSIDE TEACHER AFTER WE LEAVE THE DOOR. OH, GLORY.

[00:01:37][screaming] BUT YOU NEED AN INSIDE TEACHER.

[00:01:40]YOU NEED THE HOLY GHOST WHEN YOU ARE ALONE. YOU DON'T NEED A PASTOR.

[00:01:44][screaming] YOU NEED SOMETHING IN YOU.

[00:01:50]>> [cheering] >> BECAUSE WE MUST RECEIVE THIS quickening power.

[00:01:56]AND IF WE EVER EXPECT TO BE IN THE general resurrection, because it's the only thing that will ever bring us from the dead.

[00:02:04]Coming to church is fine and wonderful.

[00:02:06]You must be here at your post of duty, BUT THAT'S NOT ENOUGH. WE need quickening power.

[00:02:13]WE NEED SOMETHING IN US THAT CAN CHANGE OUR ATTITUDE. WE NEED SOMETHING IN US THAT CAN CHANGE OUR BEHAVIOR. WE NEED SOMETHING IN US MORE THAN CHURCH MEMBERSHIP. IN THE MESSAGE, WE HAVE CULTIVATED GOOD CHURCH MEMBERS.

[00:02:27]WE BAPTIZED PEOPLE, THEY WENT DOWN A DRY SINNER, CAME OUT A WET ONE. WE DON'T NEED CHURCH MEMBERS. CHURCH MEMBERS ARE DIFFICULT PEOPLE.

[00:02:36]THEY ARE THE WORST PEOPLE.

[00:02:39]YOU SING TWO SONGS, THEY SAY YOU'RE SINGING A FEW SONGS. YOU SING FIVE SONGS, THEY SAY IT'S TOO MUCH. YOU PREACH TWO HOURS, THEY SAY IT'S TOO LONG. YOU PREACH 30 MINUTES, THEY SAY IT'S TOO SHORT. CHURCH MEMBERS.

[00:02:55]WHEN IT SNOWS, THEY DON'T COME TO CHURCH. CHURCH MEMBERS.

[00:03:00]WHEN YOU TELL THEM [screaming] PAY YOUR TITHES, THEY GET ANGRY THE WHOLE SERVICE. CHURCH MEMBERS.

[00:03:06]WE ARE TIRED OF CHURCH MEMBERS.

[00:03:08]WE NEED PEOPLE THAT ARE BAPTIZED.

[00:03:11]GLORY TO GOD WITH THE HOLY GHOST BAPTISM.

[00:03:15]AND WE DON'T LOOK FOR SUPPORTERS HERE.

[00:03:17]WE ARE LOOKING FOR A PEOPLE THAT WERE IN THE MIND OF GOD.

[00:03:21]WE NEED COME ON, SAINTS OF GOD. WE NEED A PEOPLE THAT WERE THERE.

[00:03:27]WE NEED A PEOPLE THAT WERE IN THE MIND [screaming] OF GOD.

[00:03:31]WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE SONS OF GOD SHOUTED FOR JOY AND THE MORNING STARS SANG TOGETHER? I WAS THERE. THAT'S WHY I'M NOT PREACHING TO SUPPORTERS. I'M LOOKING FOR A PEOPLE THAT WERE IN THE MIND OF GOD.

[00:03:47]>> [cheering] [applause] [cheering] >> HALLELUJAH.

[00:03:53]HALLELUJAH.

[00:03:55]HALLELUJAH.

[00:03:56]HALLELUJAH.

[00:03:58]HALLELUJAH.

[00:03:59]HALLELUJAH.

[00:04:00]PRAISE THE LORD.
