ROMANS 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
ROMANS 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
ROMANS 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
ROMANS 6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
COLOSSIANS 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
JAMES 4:6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
“Just simply, "By grace are you saved through faith." He will try to mystify it, and have all kinds of a seeing lights, and hearing sounds, and everything, and all kinds of mystifying things to get people to be saved. Maybe someone did see it, but that don't mean that all has to see it.
You just believe it. And God has His program, and He will set you and place you in Christ, just where He thinks you'll work best for Him, if you'll just stay in your calling. Don't try to get somebody else's calling. Stay in your own calling.
If you're a housewife, remain a housewife. Whatever God's called you to do, just remain there. He knows where to put His hand on you and use you. He had a little, old woman named Hannah, one time, little housewife. He knowed where to place her, what He was going to do with her. He had one named Mary, one time. Oh, my,
He will just do with you whatever He wants to do, if you'll just let Him do it. Just be humble, submit yourself to Him, and walk on.” [55-0224 Water From The Rock, Phoenix AZ], Ephesians 2:8]
“How do you know you've passed from death unto Life? Where you standing at?
Because we have raised from sin. Being buried with Him in baptism, we've raised with Him in the resurrection. And now our souls are with Him and He's with us. We feeled His Presence, we see His works. We see Him doing the same things that He did when He was here on earth, working through the church: healing the sick, knowing the thoughts that's in their hearts, discernment, powers, raising the dead, doing just exactly the things He did. Then let off the steam, brother. There's nothing to worry about.
We're already risen with Him in Christ Jesus. We're setting in heavenly places now, not we will be; we are, right now, risen with Him, setting in heavenly places with the earnest of our eternal salvation. (Whew.) That's right. Amen. Let off the steam. Send atomic bombs, whatever you want to, we are
risen with Him. Amen.”

[Colossians 2:12]
“
Then they wanted a law. And God always gives you the desire of your heart; He promised to. But we find out, when they turned one step from the side of what God originally promised them, th
en that was a thorn in the flesh until the law was taken away, until Jesus Christ came and was crucified to take away the law. It was a thorn in the flesh.
And anything that you try to do within yourself, it'll always work to your dishonor.
It'll work to your disadvantage. Just simply believe God, and that settles it. What God promised, "I'm the Lord Thy God Who heals all thy diseases." See? "If there is any among you, sick, let them call the elders of the church." He promised, "
The works that He did, would be done in His church." “
[65-0117 A Paradox, Phoenix AZ], Acts16:30-31]
“When I think of that, then I begin to remember that the same God that was with the covenant people in Egypt, is surely, under all the strain and the indifference that the church is in tonight, He will, by the grace of His Own Being, send a Deliverer. We're just as certain to get a outpouring of the Holy Spirit in these last days, as we're setting in this church tonight. God has acted to the covenant people without any effort of theirs, but He sent freely from heaven a--a--to His covenant people an act of grace upon the sovereignty of His promise. He sent Moses. And in the same crisis, when the people is in bondage, and in... under everything, the yoke of sin and sickness and trouble today, He's just as certain to send Jesus Christ the second time as He sent Moses in the first time. When the crisis arose, God acted in sovereign grace. He's got to do the same thing under the same act or He did wrong when He acted back there.” [56-0527 At Kadesh Barnea, Jeffersonville IN]
“So in the Deity of Jesus Christ, if the Lord God could come there and confirm that that is the truth, not only that, but by His Word He confirms it's the truth, and by signs and wonders He confirms it's the truth. Then, also,
grace is the truth. Then why could
anyone criticize and say that grace is wrong, that we're saved by works? We are saved by grace, that through faith, not by works. Works shows that you have been saved. But what saves you is the grace of God. Grace saves you. Grace is what God does for you. Works is what you do for God to show appreciation of what God did for you. But by
grace are you saved.”
[61-0827 The Message Of Grace, Jeffersonville IN],
[Ephesians 2:8]
“Now, I feel religious. Why?
We are dead. And our lives is hid in God through Christ and sealed by the Holy Ghost. I look back and see where I once was. That William Branham died thirty-two years ago.
And now we are a new creation in Christ, already raised with Him and setting with Him now in heavenly places, with the authority of His promised Word, that every devil shall be subject to us, and nothing shall in wise...?... "And in My Name they shall cast out devils, and speak with new tongues, take up serpents, drink deadly things, lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." That's His promise.
Here's a confirmation of His promise. Oh, let us confess our weakness, and God give us strength and faith in the very living Presence of Jesus Christ here tonight, the Son of God.”

[Ephesians 2:6],
[Mark 16:16-18]
“Repeat after me. Lord God, [Congregation says, "Lord God,"--Ed.] I pledge myself anew to You. ["I pledge myself anew to You."] Cleanse me from all unrighteousness. ["Cleanse me from all unrighteousness."] Cleanse me from all doubt in Thy Word. ["Cleanse me from all doubt in Thy Word."] Let me, from this Easter, ["Let me, from this Easter,"] be a new creature ["be a new creature"] in Christ Jesus. ["in Christ Jesus."] Let me bear, in my heart ["Let me bear, in my heart,"] Your Word. ["Your Word."] May It be a Lamp to my feet ["May it be a Lamp to my feet"] that will Light my path. ["that will Light my path."] From henceforth, ["From henceforth"'] I will follow You. ["I will follow You."] In Jesus' Name. ["In Jesus' Name."] Amen. ["Amen."].” [65-0418E Does God Ever Change His Mind About His Word, Jeffersonville IN]
