Exodus 8:1-10 1And the LORD spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me. 2And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs: 3And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs: 4And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants. 5And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt. 6And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt. 7And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.
8Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat the LORD, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the LORD. 9And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only? 10And he said, To morrow . And he said, Be it according to thy word: that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the LORD our God.

470 He can do whatever He wants to. He can create. He can do anything. He’s God. The very same God, that creative Life, you see, that’s in you, can…You’re a prisoner; you can’t speak it till He says speak it. But, when you spoke, it’s God’s Word. He’s vindicated it to be so. Everything else is right, and He knows, when that’s spoke, it’s got to be so. See?
471 Moses took his rod, and said, “Let there come frogs,” ‘cause God said, “Let there come frogs.” He just transmitted it on out. That’s right. And frogs was in everything, everywhere was frogs. Where did they come from? Nobody knows. They wasn’t there before. But the Creator, God, working through a man, created things, a living species.
472 The very God that made the first frog can make the second frog. He makes all frogs. Oh, my! You see what I mean? Made the first squirrel, makes the second squirrel, make any squirrel; can make squirrels where there is no squirrels. He can do anything He wants to! He is God! He is God! His Life! Oh, my! When I think of it, makes me shiver! Uh-huh.
Acts 24:24-25 24And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ. 25And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.

59… Did you ever notice how a frog looks? A frog is always looking backwards, he never looks forward; looking back, always back, look back.
Hebrews 3:7-8 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, Today if ye will hear his voice, 8Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
Hebrews 3:7-8 Therefore, as the Ruach HaKodesh says, “Today, if you hear God’s voice, 8don’t harden your hearts, as you did in the Bitter Quarrel on that day in the Wilderness when you put God to the test.
Hebrews 12:1-2 1THEREFORE THEN, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony to the Truth], let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us, and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us, 2Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God.^†^

God harnesses trouble, puts bits in its mouth and makes it obey Him, and those troubles bring us into a closer fellowship with God.

474 This is God’s great mystery of love expressed, that God and man became one. See? The whole thing is God and man, one. God and man was one, there; and God and man is one, here. See? What is it? Being filled with His Spirit, Him having the preeminences. That was God’s achievement, that’s God purpose to do that: that He might be in Christ; and Christ in us; and all of us together, one. The Holy Spirit, same thing; It revealed it to Christ, reveals it here; the supernatural creative Power. Oh, my!
475 The same God that could—that could say all this through Moses, “Let there come frogs,” the same One could stand up there, “Let this water be turned to wine.” See? Amen. Is that right? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] He’s the same God, the same One.
476 He just don’t change. It’s God in man. That’s His manifestation. That’s what He’s revealing. That’s what He’s trying to do, and God’s Own Word revealing It. Shows that man cannot create; God is the Creator. And it ain’t man no more; it’s God the Creator, in man, which is His Church now. Amen!
Exodus 8:11-15 11And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river only. 12And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh. 13And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields. 14And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank. 15But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
A Deceived Church

8 Remember, we are not on a picnic, but we’re in a battlefield. Many people just think that when they become a Christian that that’s all they need to do, that that settles it forever, as they are a Christian and everything’s going to come easy. Don’t never get that in your head. For I become a Christian to fight, fight the good fight of faith. I become a Christian to get in the battle lines. We are Christian soldiers, and we got to be trained, and brought up, and know all the techniques of the enemy, to know how to fortify, to know how to–to fight the fight. And we can only do that as the Holy Spirit will reveal it to us.

That’s the same thing we have to do here. If an evil spirit**… If there’s unconfessed sin or something, or some out of the will of God, you could anoint them all night long, and cry, and scream and do all you wish to, that demon will stay right there. That’s right. He has a right to. Well, that’s what you have to watch. God has put a curse on somebody for something, then you come along and take it off, you get in trouble like Moses did.** That’s right.

53 What does that mean? What does that mean to me tonight, in the face of criticism? How many has read the book out there, when that maniac run to the platform out yonder? You—you better know what you’re speaking about. He said, “You snake in the grass, I will break every bone in your mealy body, tonight, you posing yourself to be a man of God.” A raw maniac out of the institution, had broke out, two hundred and eighty pound man standing there and muscles. Mr. Baxter standing behind me, when hundreds of preachers shrank back. Two little police that I just led to Christ, over in a room before coming, they run out to grab him, like that.
I said, “Just a moment, sir. This is not a flesh and blood affair.” He swelled hisself out. He set his feet together.
He said, “You hypocrite. You snake in the grass.”
54 I was speaking, I turned around to him, this a way. All the ministers had backed up. He come walking towards me. Said, “I will break every bone in your frail body tonight**.” I weighed an hundred and eighteen pounds**. Said, “I will show you how much man of God you are, you serpent.” He come walking forward. I never said a word. I just turned around, had to look up to him like that. He walked up, and was about there. As he got close, I thought, “Dear God, the only hope I have is in You.” He was well able to do his threats. He walked there just then.
When he stepped out there, I started to say, “Sir, I wouldn’t say that.”
And when I did, He said , “THUS SAITH THE LORD, ‘cause you’ve challenged the Spirit of God, tonight you’ll fall over my feet.”
55 He said, “You hypocrite, I will show you whose feet I will fall over.” Said, “I will break your neck, you serpent.” And went… [Brother Branham makes a noise of spitting—Ed.] Spit in my face like that. I just stood still, waiting for the Spirit of God. Sixty-six hundred people, besides what was on the outside, was standing breathless. You better know what you’re speaking about.
He run forward, gulped at me…?… he said, “I will show you whose feet I will fall over.” He drew back like that.
I said, “Satan, in the Name of Jesus Christ, come out of him.” See? There he stood with his challenge like Goliath, that he made his boast. The Spirit of God had said what would happen. Now we’ll see who’s right. He… I… Everything seemed against me. His desires, and all, he could carry it out.
He said, “I will break every bone in your body. I will knock you plumb out in the middle of that audience.” He could do it, physically speaking.
But the Holy Spirit said, “You’ll fall over my feet.” There he rushed forward. And when the Spirit…
I said, “Satan, come out of the man in the Name of Jesus Christ.” His big fist drew back.
56 Mr. Baxter here, is a witness, besides…?… caught running down through the police courts and everything up there. You seen “The Voice of Healing,” didn’t you? How they hunted him down, and everything, and it proved out, a hundred percent, it was there, and all the rest of them. We’re not liars. We’re testifying of Jesus Christ.
You’re welcome to take the book and run them down, and any other testimony that I say. Yes, sir. I’m under obligation to God to be a man of honor, the truth, as a prophet of God.
57And when he come running to me, he threw his hands back. When he did, he went, “Oh-uh-uh-uh-uh.” His eyes, all the way back, and pushed out. His mouth open like that. He shrunk and fell across my feet, till I couldn’t even move. I looked at him.
Them police said, “Is that man dead?”
I said, “No, sir.” Said, “Is he going to be all right?”
I said, “No, sir. He worships that spirit. He thinks he’s right. If he’s willing to give it up, it would leave him now. But he worships it; he will take it right back.” I said, “Would you move him off my feet?” And they got him off my feet. And I walked back to the platform and started speaking.
I said, “Our heavenly Father has all powers in heaven and earth.”
58 And a man laying on a cot said, “Yes, He has. He healed me.” And up he got. There laid a man standing there with crutches. He threw his crutches across the floor, said, “He healed me, too.” And away he went. Up come a man out of a wheelchair, said, “Me, also.”
There the power of God moved through that building, and shut the mouth of Satan. Hallelujah. Call me a fanatic if you want to. I’m a fanatic for Christ. Whose fanatic are you? I know what I speak of. If I die this night… I will never die; I have Eternal Life in me. And every born again Christian does too. If I go home to meet the Lord, tonight, my testimony is still proven true. And every time that Satan has rose up, God has set them down. So therefore, without fear, knowing my Lord Jesus is here, I do not hesitate to tell you the truth of God’s Word in this hour.
