E-25 OUR.HOPE.IS.IN.GOD -- 51-0929 When you're
in--receive the Holy Spirit by believing on Jesus
Christ and receiving the Holy Spirit, then you're
just a candidate to go to work for God. Then go
to yielding your members to Him, see what He will
have you to do. He might have you to preach,
sing, testify, pass out tracts, talk to people,
bring someone to church. All kinds of gifts and
helps that's in the body of Christ...

Some are called for one thing, some another.
But no matter what you got, how little it is...
You say, "Well, Brother Branham, only thing I can
do I might talk to some people." Well, that
might not be very much to you, but put it in the
hands of Jesus, and see what He will do with it.
Like the little fishes that was in the little
boys hand, it could only feed him. But when he
put it in Jesus' hand, it fed five thousand. So
it will be with you. Put what you have in His
hand.

E-12 JEHOVAH.JIREH -- 57-0309.2E Now, God is
like a great big diamond. And that diamond has
been chipped or cut in such a way... A true-cut
diamond reflects many rays of light. And when we
see in the church, so many different gifts of the
Spirit, it is only the reflection off of the real
Diamond. And one may seem a little peculiar to
the other one, but it's the way the diamond
reflects light.
25
Motivational Gift of "Exhorter"
So God does that also in the way that He reflects
a gift of the Bible. One has the gift of
knowledge, the other one has the gift of tongues,
and another one has the gift of something else.
It's God, reflecting these lights. And they are
lights that's gathered in one person that's
Almighty God.
