About This Sermon:
Branham opens by thanking Brother Reed and the congregation, saying the song "List' To The Voice" is what he hopes everyone will do that night. He speaks warmly of the little school song his daughter sang to him — "Let's talk about Jesus more and more" — and says he cannot brag too much on the Lord because He is all he has. He tells the story of a man who corrected his grammar after a service, and answered, "Them people out there don't care whether I say 'polepit' or 'pulpit.' The only thing they want me to do is to preach the Gospel good and clear in everyday language, and live what I preach."

He reads Acts 1:8 — "Ye shall receive power" — and Exodus 4, where God asks Moses, "What is that in thy hand?" He then takes up the question and walks through the entire Bible with it. Moses at eighty, running from his calling on the backside of the desert, herding Jethro's sheep, comes to the burning bush. God tells him to take off his shoes — not his hat — and calls him to go down to Egypt. Moses makes every excuse: not eloquent, slow of speech, "send somebody else." God's anger kindles, but He sends Aaron and tells Moses to go.

Then Branham paints the picture: an old man, eighty years old, beard flying, hair bushing behind him, leading a little mule with his wife astraddle and a young one on each hip, a crooked stick in his hand — going down to Egypt to take over. Egypt was the best mechanized power in the world, and this one man is going to take it. He is going because God said so. "God said so, that settles it."

From there, "What is in thy hand?" David with his sling and five stones — J-e-s-u-s in five fingers, f-a-i-t-h — downing Goliath while Saul's armor does not fit. Shamgar with an ox-goad, slaying six hundred Philistines because the emergency was at hand and he had no time to train. Samson with the jawbone of a mule and the Spirit of the Lord upon him. Elisha following Elijah through Gilgal, the school of the prophets, and Jordan — justification, sanctification, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost — asking for a double portion, and picking up the mantle when the chariot of fire came down.

He closes with the Durban, South Africa testimonies: a Mohammedan woman healed of tuberculosis and receiving Christ; a little cross-eyed boy healed in front of a hundred thousand people; a noted English doctor who received Christ on the platform after challenging him; the Dutch Reform minister whose shirt carried the scorched print of a hand from the Angel of the Lord. The service then moves into the prayer line.
