Magnetization – You Must Be Magnetized
Not long ago, standing here, Gary, Indiana, I was taken by a man into the mills. And I was watching them as they was sweeping the... About time to quit they swept their little--little shavings out into the floor. And the man told me, said, "Now, watch this a minute." And he pressed a button, way back into somewhere come a great magnet; it came down, and as it passed through that great pile of shavings, those shavings just clung right onto this great magnet. Went out there and demagnetized it, dropped into the--to the great foundry and was molded over, the great molding kettle.
I stood there for a moment and my--my heart was a jumping. I said, "Praise the Lord."
And the man said, "What's the matter Mr. Branham?"
I said, "I was thinking."
He said, "You surely must." I think I scared him.
And when I said, "Way back yonder somewhere is a magnet setting." And I said, "I want to ask you a question." I said, "Why didn't all those shavings go?"
He said, "Some of them, Sir, is aluminum; they were not magnetized to the magnet."
I hollered, "Praise the Lord." And I said, "But why didn't that piece of iron go?"
Said, "It's bolted to the floor."
I said, "Praise the Lord."
Oh, brother, the Lord Jesus is coming someday, the great Eagle of heaven, and only those who are magnetized by the power of the Holy Ghost will take that ride. Bolted down creeds, and denominations, and shavings of aluminum light thinkers, light ambitions... I think the Church of God should be the highest thinker, the highest ambitions that there is in the world ought to dwell with Christians: To press the mark to the high calling of Christ, certainly"
