HEBREWS 12:24-25
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
I PETER 1:18
18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

167 Now we also find in Hebrews, the 12th chapter and 24th verse, that the New Testament, the Blood speaks better things. The Blood is speaking. Then the Blood has got a Voice. And the Voice of the Blood is the Word. Hallelujah. That's what makes it whether it's right or wrong. The--the Word is identified by the Voice of the Blood. The Voice of the Blood is the Holy Ghost. That brings Life. It is Life, and It brings Life to the Word and quickens It. Amen, amen, amen. Sure, the Blood speaks; It speaks a better thing. The Old Testament, the blood spoke of guilt. In the New Testament It speaks of redemption. In the Old Testament it spoke of death and sorrow. In the New Testament It speaks of resurrection and Life. It speaks of healing. It speaks of joy. It speaks of power. It speaks of Life. It speaks of Heaven. And that same Blood that was shed upon the ground, that called out after his dead brother, or called out after his brother that had killed him. The Blood of Jesus Christ covers all of our sins, and speaks peace and resurrection, and power and Life, and healing. And all the redemptive blessings that the Blood was shed for, It speaks for us. Certainly, the Blood speaks. Oh, my.

155 You'll say, "Blood speak? Wait a minute, Brother Branham!" The blood speaks. The Bible says it does. All right. The Blood speaks. Remember, the covenant Blood is not recognized without the Token. Now the Word assures us of the promise. The token is the sign that the purchase has been made for us, and God has accepted it.
TOKEN.THE BAKF.CA V-22 N-8 64-0208
126 Paul tells us the blood speaks.
Blood speaks, did we say? Does the blood speak, can it speak? That Token speak? Yes, sir. If we'd--we'd look in Genesis 4:10, the voice of the blood of Abel cried out against Cain. We find out in Hebrews 12:24 that the blood of Jesus Christ speaks better things. The blood speaks. How can the chemistry speak? It's the life that's in the blood that does the speaking. The soul that was in Cain that cried out, or in Abel, it was the life that was in Christ that cries out better things than any... It speaks, and it speaks loud. It's the Holy Spirit. It speaks plain. It tells us that the time is here, when we see it. For it said it would say it. And then we see it come back, and identify what it said. There's nothing else left but to believe it (that's right), to receive it.
TOKEN.THE DAL.TX V-19 N-12 64-0308
134 In Genesis 4:10, we find out that God said that--that Cain's... or, "Abel's blood spoke out from the earth." We find out in Hebrews 12, that, "The Blood of the covenant of Christ speaks better things than that of Abel." See? We find out, the Blood does speak, It speaks in your behalf. The Life that's in you speaks from the shed Blood. Amen. Oh, blessed! I wish everybody could see that. See? If you can see what it is, it's the Life that's in you.
See, that Blood is identifying you with It. It's the Token. The... What it is, the Blood was shed for you; you've accepted, and the Life has come into you. You have the Token, that's the Holy Spirit.

989-316 Dear God, here's handkerchiefs, parcels laying here. It's going to the sick and the afflicted. Let the great Interpreter of the Word, the Holy Spirit Who wrote It, may He come near now for this portion of the service and bless these cloths. Lord, if I think of myself, who am I to lay my unclean filthy body across these handkerchiefs that stands between death and life to many? Oh, God, I tremble. But when I think that... You don't see me; You just hear my voice. It's coming through the Blood of the Lord Jesus there. And I'm believing that You'll answer for me just as You did for Him, because He went before me to set at the right hand up there of the Majesty on high. And His Blood lays there as an atonement, and I'm covered under that Blood.

Go up to the door, and you look, to see what name's on the door 'fore you ring the bell. See? The blood was put on the lintel of the door as a type of what the sacrifice was on the inside. Now, we're going to find the place of worship, right through there, coming through that Blood. Notice, the blood on the door was speaking the name of what was going--was on the inside. They were in there. Our place of worship, the Lamb, is the Word. We know that.

And the Blood, the Bible said, speaks greater things than the blood of the lamb in the Old Testament; for the Blood of Christ speaks greater than the blood of Abel, greater things. And speak, Lord, redemption for us, as we call through the Blood.

We know that we are sinners and not--not worthy of any blessing. But then, when we think of Him who came and took our sins, then when His Blood's there, it's not--it's not us in the presence of God, it's Him--just our voice through His Blood; His Blood's speaking. Oh, God, then cleanse our hearts from sin and unbelief.

14-1 Both the heavens and earth now is contaminated with devils that can accuse us before God. Jesus is there to intercede for us (See?), while the accusers keep pointing a finger, "They did this. They did this. They did this." But the Blood still covers. He came to redeem that Elected that He foresaw.

15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

"And it does not yet appear just what we'll be in the final end, but we know we'll have a body like His Own glorious body, for we shall see Him as He is."

Everything in the heaven bows to It. And everything on earth that ever goes to heaven will bow to It. We must all recognize the Blood.

64 If you are a Christian, you are a borned again creature. You are in a mystic Kingdom of God. Your eyes are not on things of this world, but on things above. And that's when you're in the church. That is the church. It is not an organization; it can never be an organization. Take me on record. The church of the living God can never be any certain group. It cannot be an organization. It has to be a mystical Body, the Holy Spirit. A little farther, if we get time, we'll get right into it. Now, now you see what church means? "Church" means, a "called-out bunch," a called-out people that's governed only by the King of this Messiahic Kingdom. Oh, isn't that wonderful?

33 An antichrist spirit tries to take a--a people and call them from organization to organization, organizing them together, which never was the will of God. People has always fussed at me because I struck so hard at organizations. It isn't the people in there that I'm striking at; it's that dominating spirit that makes the people think that "We are the people." God's people is His called-out people. I believe they're in every denomination; they could be Catholic; they could be Protestant; they could be Jewish; they could be any kind of a church. But the real church is the mystical Body of Jesus Christ. Now, you cannot organize the mystical Body of Christ. Now, every person that comes to Christ, comes out of the world, comes into Christ, comes into His mystical Body. And you are a member of that Body when you are brought into this church, called-out and are baptized into this mystical Body. You get it? It's not Methodist, not Baptist, not Pentecostal, not Nazarene, not Pilgrim Holiness, not Catholic; but the Body of Jesus Christ. We'll pick that up a little deeper in other questions in a few minutes, as we go on into the deeper parts of it. But the Body of Christ is the church.
