Satan Uses A Man's Head || Rev. William Marrion Branham

53 You see, Satan uses a man’s head. He chose that in the garden of Eden, to take a man’s head, his thinking. And he has brought that down even to the church. See, the devil takes a man’s head, so he can use his eye. And if you’ll notice, if the man isn’t genuinely born again, spiritual, he’ll take what he can see with his eyes, the pride of life. And he’ll go, many man, to say he’s going to—to achieve something, he wants to join church. He wants to be religious. And he’ll look around till he can find the biggest church he can find, because man wants to do something big. He wants to make a big name for himself. That’s what carnal, foolish-thinking man think, “Oh, if I can have my organization! If I can only add so-many thousands to my denomination, it’ll be the largest then in the land, of its kind!” What good does that do? But he thinks he’s achieving something because he’s adding more. 54 I believe it was some years ago, in 1944, that the Baptists had a slogan out, “A million more in ’44.” And what did they have when they got a million more? Just like joining a lodge, if they wasn’t genuine, born-again disciples of Christ. They were just Baptist by name. 55 Look at the other denominations, the Lutheran, the Presbyterian, the Pentecostals, all the other denominations, they’re the same. They’re trying to achieve something. They want to do something great, see, because it’s his eye he’s looking at. He thinks with his eye. And many times he don’t understand that that’s the thing that he oughtn’t to do. But, the devil takes the man’s eye, he shows him something pretty. He opens his eyes to look at it. And he’s got that into the church, into the intellectual thinking of man. 56 Some time ago, this great evangelist, Billy Graham, stood here in Louisville, and held up his Bible. He said, “This is God’s standard.” And he’s right. He’s exactly right. Mordecai Ham, the evangelist, (my old Kentucky home), and I, were sitting at the same table; which, Billy was converted under Mordecai Ham. And we were sitting there. And he said, “What happens?” He said, “Paul went into a city and got one convert, he returned a year later and he had thirty by that one.” Said, “I go into a city and have twenty thousand converts, return in a year and can’t find twenty. Something is wrong.” And he said, “You know what it is? It’s you lazy preachers that set in the buildings, your offices, with your feet on the desk, and don’t go visit the people.” 57 I thought, “Billy, that’s a very good intellectual…” please don’t quote me, “but that isn’t it.” Who was the pastors that went to that one that Paul got converted? 58 It wasn’t that. It’s here. Those so-called meetings today, and they are great meetings, but it only works on the intellectual part of man. A man gets under the spell of a revival, and he says, “Yes, I accept Christ,” and he does it intellectually because he’s in a great crowd. He does it because there’s great ministers before him, but it’s only an intellectual conception. That man can never go on. He’s got to come from his mind, to his heart, and be born again, or he’ll never be able to stand the test. 59 Intellectual conception is all right, but when…Remember, when the eye looks upon it, the devil uses your eye. In the garden of Eden, it proved that the devil chose the head of man, to work in, but God chooses his heart. The devil shows him, with his eyes, something that he can see, and he says, “Seeing is believing.” 60 But when God comes to a man, He comes to his heart. And He lets him believe things by his heart, through faith, that his eyes does not see. For the Scripture says, that, “The faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” 61 God working here; Satan working here. So what good does these big schools and seminaries do anyhow? It sometimes, not always, but too many times, it pulls from here, up to here; when it ought to be taken from here, down to here in the man’s heart.     58-1221E - The Unity Of One God In The One Church     Rev.
