37 Here, as I’ve often said, I believe, in the church here, there’s a row here like, in here lives mortal beings. And each one is in this great conglomeration of gaiety, of blackness and darkness. Mortals live in here. Now, they are either influenced from this way, or from that way. You cannot be here a spiritual being, sinner or saint, without having an influence from the underworld or from the above world. If you are influenced from here, you’re from above. Your celestial body is waiting up here. But if you’re wicked, and hypocritical, and indifferent, your celestial body is down here, regardless of how much you think it’s up there; because the fruit that you bear before people proves where you’re from. So you are here what you are somewhere else. Your life that you live here is just reflecting what your inheritance is when you leave here. Do you understand? 54-0103E - Questions And Answers #2 Rev.

28 The whole air has become contaminated with the powers of the underworld, the powers of darkness. We’ll look out over the world now and find out around how communism, weaving its way in. 54-0718A - The Great Coming Revival And The Outpouring Of The Holy Spirit Rev. William Marrion Branham

51. And notice, now. Like this street here’s where mortals live. Mortals are influenced from an outside world. I should understand by the grace of God. I deal with spirits. And I should know what I am speaking of. And I look along through this dark mass of gaiety. Every once in a while, you’ll see little lights a burning. Lights. There you are. It’s your table today. Lights a burning. That’s Christians in the darkness giving light. See what I mean? Now, look at this here. The sinner is influenced by a spirit because he has a spirit. And the wrong gives influence and the right gives influence. And those who are dominated from—with blackness and separation, are dominated from the underworld of devils.

52 52 Look. The first thing when you…Here when you’re going out of this line now, get this straight. Here’s where mortals live. A whole conglomeration is blackness and darkness. And in there is little lights, placed now and then. That’s Christians borned-again of Light. “You are a light that is set on a hill. A candle that is set in the room and gives light to all the room.” That’s what a Christian is amongst darkness. You’re supposed to shine where it’s dark. Now, notice. The wicked or the unbeliever is influenced from beneath. There is a trinity of hell like there’s a trinity of heaven. They’re influenced by evil powers. Notice. The first thing, when you start down, the first thing you find is a realm here that’s got the unsaved in it. That’s right. That’s where Jesus went and preached to the souls that were in prison that repented not in the longsuffering in the days of Noah. The next is demons. And the next is hell itself. The world is influenced by these demon powers through this trinity. And the Christians are influenced by a Spirit too, the Holy Spirit 54-1204 - God Perfecting His Church Rev.

6. It used to be wrong for people to gamble. They had places, like, of ill fame where such things went on, saloons, where respectable people didn’t attend. And women, used to, when they would come down the street where there was a saloon, they’d pass on the other side. But today she puts her foot on the bar, lets some little babysitter take care of her children, and she’s become a barfly instead of a mother. She’s more popular. And gambling, it used to be in the dens and dives of the low underworld, has become that every time company comes, they get out the cards and go to playing. It’s still sin. God will you make you pay for your sin. He hates sin, because He’s a holy God.
