• What makes up a personality?

• a collection of inherited traits and a whole lot of conditioning?

• Are you your human personality?

• The earthly man to die... is more than just the body

•The brain, from formation to development after birth, is very fragile

•emotions are merely electro-chemical impulses that may be manipulated with ease

•brain damage or disorders influence who we are

•memories are more or less accurate reconstructions

•affections may be erased or forgotten

•an entirely different personalty may emerge from the same brain and body

•As a Christian we do not live by our intellect, but rather the Holy Spirit that’s in the soul

•the mind is incapable of bringing you to God

•You are what you are by your soul

WHERE.I.THINK.PENTECOST.FAILED_ SAN.FERNANDO.CA FRIDAY_ 55-1111

E-94 What was it? "The soul that sinneth, it shall die." The soul, that inside conscience

that told her she was wrong, that may be telling you same thing tonight, she'd went to her intellectual parts, and believing

with her--with her mind, and had grieved away that Holy Spirit. It didn't

speak to her no more. She thought she was right, as much as she had to believe with, her mind. And then, Brother Neville walked

out.

WHERE.I.THINK.PENTECOST.FAILED_ SAN.FERNANDO.CA FRIDAY_ 55-1111

And after while, she said... Death set in on her; her eyes turned glassy; she looked

around.What was the matter? The mental

faculties was breaking; your mind goes with your brain, not your soul, your

mind.

E-95 It believes Jesus the same, yesterday, today, and forever. It believes that He's present in every congregation.

See? And she had grieved that away from her. But when she come to die, these intellectual parts was breaking up.

She looked up and she said, "My, God," she said, "I'm lost."

1 John 3:2Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as

he is.

E-48 But your spirit, your soul was made up before the foundation of the

world, when God made man in His image.

224    Now, your name is now in the new Book; not the book of life, but the Lamb's

Book of Life, what the Lamb redeemed. Not the old book of your natural union, but your new, Bride. Hallelujah! Your new life is in the

Lamb's Book of Life, your marriage certificate, hallelujah, where your true Eternal germ, from the beginning,

takes hold.

E-27 Now, if you notice, the subconscious is where you live. That's where you, yourself live. That's the reason people, it's hard for them to have faith. Up here, first, they say," Yes, I got faith," but down in here something says, "but it's not

for you."

FAITH_ CHARLOTTE.NC FRIDAY_ 56-0427

E-96 Do you believe that, lady, setting right there? Yes. Had more faith than you

thought you had. See? Faith is a subconscious thing, lady. Faith is not a mental act. See? It's something that you subconsciously do it. People try to look to their intellects for faith, when faith doesn't lay in here. Reasons lay here. Faith lays in

the soul.

QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS_ JEFF.IN COD WEDNESDAY_ 59-1223

491-97 Now, in that mind you serve--with the mind of Christ you serve God. See, the

inward part (See?), the inward part, you serve God. That subconscious, there's

where faith lies.

SHOW.US.THE.FATHER.IT'LL.SATISFY_ SPINDALE.NC SUNDAY_ 56-0422

E-59 Many times people, I notice in the meeting, watching these tapes as they come back through the lines of discernment. The

people will be setting there, look like they're a million miles away. They don't even be... They don't think of something... They're even thinking about healing. But it's not

their intellect here working; it's their subconscious a working. Your subconscious is your soul.

Hebrews 4:12For the word of God is quick, and powerful,

and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and

marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

ENTICING.SPIRITS_ JEFF.IN DE 79-112 SUNDAY_ 55-0724

But when your confession says one thing and your life lives another, there's

something wrong somewhere. That's because you got an intellectual faith and not

a faith from your heart. And that shows that outside here is a knowledge of God, but inside here is a demon of

doubting. "I believe in Divine healing, but it's not for me. (You see?) I--it could be so, but I don't believe it." Get it? Outside you

say, "Yes." Inside your conscience says "No."

  88     Then, after you recognized the very Word of God was Eagle Food, then you left

the other thing. You have then been formed into the living image of the

living God. You heard from your theophany. "If this earthly body be

dissolved, we have one waiting."

57-0120M  THE.IMPERSONATION.OF.CHRISTIANITY_  JEFFERSONVILLE.IN  SUNDAY_

  158    And the black sheet begin to fold before me. I knew He had done it. If the

mainspring hadn't have been there then... Satan said to me, "Now what do you think of it? Even your darling little baby, He's going to take it from your arms: how cruel." That was the new spirit. That was the--all the intellectual...?... stood in my bones beating

together.I thought, "Where would I go? I would go out

and get a little drunk.""You never drink in your life."

"But I'd do it anyhow.""He told you not to."

"But I'd do it anyhow. I'd show Him who was boss."

I said, "Satan, I can't. He's the Boss." 162     It was all down to the

mainspring. I'm so glad there is a mainspring.

57-0922E  HEBREWS.CHAPTER.SEVEN.2_  JEFFERSONVILLE.IN  HEB  SUNDAY_

369    Why? Through all of our goodness, and all of our goodness, and all of our

goodness, we're still carnal. But once in the presence of God, recognizing that we could never stand there, only through the merits of Jesus Christ, then we draw nigh unto God, through the merits of His Son.

"Lord, I come to You, with an innocent heart. In the Name of Thy Son Jesus, please receive me." Oh, brother, you're coming by a living

way then.370    Not, "Lord, You know I quit drinking.

You know I treat my wife right. You know I do this. I do that." You have nothing to offer.

THIRSTING.FOR.LIFE_ TACOMA.WA SUNDAY_ 57-0728

E-51 And don't be deceived by being able to do good works and join church. It's just

another perverted life.Anything that you do within yourself is not of God. God helps those who cannot

help themselves.

63-0118  SPIRIT.OF.TRUTH_  PHOENIX.AZ  FRIDAY_

  39     It would be out of reason for me to try to--to even scratch the surface of telling you some of the things that the Holy Spirit has done in my own broken-up life, my days. I say this with His Bible open, His Word. And

that's what He is. He is the Word.40    See, this--this Seed here comes into the volcanic ash, in a way of a spiritual

Being. God comes in as Spirit and operates through the ash. So, it's not

man. It's God.

WISDOM.VERSUS.FAITH_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-17 SUNDAY_ 62-0401

33-1 Now, now, you see that the seed Word cannot grow in the atmosphere, then, of knowledge. Is that right? See? As soon as knowledge mixes with faith, it dies

right there. 33-8 That's the only way that it [faith]

can grow, is to separate itself from all reasonings or anything else and just believe

the Word.

SUPER.SENSE_ JEFF.IN V-20 N-7 SUNDAY_ 59-1227E

62 "What is the sixth sense to do then, Brother Branham? Why do the sixth sense

come? The sixth sense come for this reason. Now, the sixth sense is the faith, the super sense. Now, if... The sixth sense come for this reason only; that was to make the

five senses in you deny anything that's contrary to God's Word. That's what the sixth sense is for. The Scripture speaks of

casting down reasonings.

SUPER.SENSE_ JEFF.IN V-20 N-7 SUNDAY_ 59-1227E

But the sixth sense doesn't see that at all. It's so far beyond it; it's so much higher than it is, until it don't even

have any reasonings at all with it. "We believe it." It's far beyond anything that the five senses would have to say about it. Now,

get ready for a healing service. See? We believe it. You walk by that sixth sense; you

talk by that sixth sense; you live by that sixth sense; you die by that sixth sense, and

rise by that sixth sense: that super sense, something that's in you, that's different

from what the natural man is.

SUPER.SENSE_ JEFF.IN V-20 N-7 SUNDAY_ 59-1227E

84 That super sense, it's super, above the senses. It's a greater sense. It's a faith. It's a power that stirs and drives. Amen.

It's something that makes you do things that you never thought you

would do. It's the sixth sense, the super sense.

Philippians 3:20-2120 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the

Lord Jesus Christ:21 Who shall change our vile body, that it

may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto

himself.

53-0217  ONLY.BELIEVE_  TALLAHASSEE.FL  TUESDAY_

  E-4   And the whole armor is on the supernatural See, see? Love, joy, peace,

longsuffering, goodness, meekness, gentleness, patience is all in the

supernatural. And if you let your faith loose to God's Spirit, it make--brings

your body in subjection to God's redemptive blessing to you. And

anything that Jesus died for, He's setting at the right hand of the Father, tonight, making

intercessions upon your confession. Whatever you confess that He's done, and

believe it, it's your personal property.

63-0804E  CALLING.JESUS.ON.THE.SCENE_  CHICAGO.IL  V-21 N-8  SUNDAY_

  101     Notice, let us remember, He also created our bodies. And won't our bodies have to obey Him? Amen. You surrender your thoughts to Him, surrender your

life to Him, surrender your faith to Him, and watch that body obey what He

says. If you're a drunkard and you can't--can't quit drinking, surrender that life to Him and, watch, you'll drink no more. If you are a habitual smoker, and tried to give it up and can't do it, just surrender that to Him and watch what happens. He'll make that body

come back in subjection to the Word. Yes, sir. But you've got to surrender it to Him. You've

got to believe Him. He made our bodies; they obey His will also.

64-0830E  QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS.4_  JEFFERSONVILLE.IN  COD  SUNDAY_

  28    We are carnal, and that part must perish; but then, inside, we are a spirit man, soul inside, and that's faith in God's Word; then we bring our outside body under

subjection to the Word by faith, by accepting what God said.

SPOKEN.WORD.ORIGINAL.SEED_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-2 SUNDAY_ 62-0318E

88-3 That's how adultery--that's how adultery is committed spiritually. When you, knowing better by the Word of God, by the intercourse of the mind, take in a lie of the devil against the Word of God: that's

exactly what Eve done. With a spiritual intercourse first that come by believing

Satan's lie into the womb of her mind, that polluted her soul, set death in the soul; then the natural act taken place. And that's the only way that a woman ever can commit

adultery against her husband, is to first let some man talk her into it and then receive another man that's not her husband. Then she's committed adultery. And when the

Bride of Jesus Christ lets manmade creeds and dogmas take the place of the Word of

God, she is committing adultery.

WHAT.DOES.TAKE.MAKE.CHRISTIAN.LIFE_ CHICAGO.IL SUNDAY_ 57-0113

E-34 And when you have these little temper fits and you fly out, and you tell lies, and you proselyte, and you jump the fences,

and you so selfish with your organization that you're so narrow minded you couldn't hear another minister, just remember, the Holy Spirit isn't ticking in the inside of you. Whew. I didn't know I was going to say that,

but--but that's right. See? E-35 The Holy Spirit will make every movement like Christ. It'll make you

Christ-like. The fruits of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, goodness,

meekness, gentleness, patience, faith. Those things are what the Holy Spirit

controls, our emotions.

WHAT.DOES.TAKE.MAKE.CHRISTIAN.LIFE_ CHICAGO.IL SUNDAY_ 57-0113

Our emotions is not so much as jumping up-and-down. You could do that. A shindig will bring that to you. But the Holy Spirit brings you into operation, or in control of God, that you walk in peace and in love and in joy with

longsuffering, goodness, meekness, gentleness, patience. You see? It isn't

something that you do. It's something the Holy Spirit does in you. You see, it's no

longer an intellectual thought of your own; it's a subconscious moving of the

Holy Spirit. Oh, I wish I could shout the praises of God around the world to that.

WHAT.DOES.TAKE.MAKE.CHRISTIAN.LIFE_ CHICAGO.IL SUNDAY_ 57-0113

E-36 [ ] ...If your life doesn't cooperate, or doesn't testify of your emotions that you

receive when you spoke with tongues, then you're deceived, because the Holy Spirit

takes your innermost being and controls you as you are, makes you, forms you into Chris--to a Christian

man or a woman. It ticks off with your life. There's something in you pushing you, just making you do it anyhow. It makes you love those who spit on you. It makes them love

those who say that you're insane.

38    See, I've put us all as volcanic dust. But it's the promise of God's Word. Therefore, I

cannot have confidence in myself. You cannot have confidence in yourself. But,

together, we can have confidence in What has taken over ourselves. The Holy Spirit

has taken us over. We must have confidence in That. And as we place our

confidence in That, then the results comes.
