Now, someone said not long ago, “Brother Branham, preach the Gospel…” A very noted radio evangelist, a friend. We belong to the same church. And he said, “Brother Branham, while you’re on the West Coast here, preach the Gospel.” I said, “I do, Doctor.” And he said, “Not that Divine healing.” He said, “Preach the Word.” I said, “The Word is what I preach, sir.” He said, “Look, Brother Branham,” he said, “the Gospel is the Word of God.” I said, “Not altogether, brother. The Bible said the Gospel come to us not in Word only, but through power and demonstration of the Holy Ghost (See?) to preach the Word, The letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth Life.” See? It has got to be…Jesus said, “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.” Then interpret, it in Bible forms means go into all the world and demonstrate the power of the Word by the Holy Ghost. “And these signs shall follow them that believe.”
