<TITLE>07. Par 20-22</TITLE>L-20 We went down into the gallery, beneath, way down in a cell-like. He said, "Here's where we practice with the young men. He begin to tell how far you could be from one place to the other, and how to shoot, so forth. And I noticed him checking...?... at me. And I wondered what he was going to do, dismissing the officers that were with him. And we were in this little place alone, metal all around. And said, "Brother Branham..."
Said, "Yes, sir..."
He put his hand on my shoulder, and I thought, "Oh, my..."
He said, "We wonder if there's a chance."
I said, "What do you mean, if there's a chance?"...?...
He said, "I--I haven't been no bad man." He said, "I try to hold to the law and do what's right."
"That's your duty, sir."
He said, "Well, I really want to find Jesus."
And I said, "Do you believe?"
And he said, "Yes, sir. But I haven't found...?..." Said, "I belong to a church here. I--I don't know Him." Said, "There's no need of me trying to fool myself." He said, "I joined the church that's in the neighborhood here." Said, "I don't know... Let's pray."
I said, "All right, Captain Farrar, you--you can receive Him if you'll just believe."
He said, "I tell you. Before you leave Washington, you set some place where we'll meet, and we'll go together, and there we'll talk it all over." Said, "You just fix it. We'll have a dinner and go out together, and so forth, and maybe I'll take the...?..."

L-21 I said, "Captain Al Farrar, you can receive Him right here...?..."
He said, "Not down in this gallery..."
I said, "Yes, sir."
Said, "Would He come down here?"
I said, "He went to the belly of a whale one time. He went down in a fiery furnace to get some of His children out. He'll come down into this gallery." And there that officer, unbuckling his gun, and laying it on the floor, and putting his arms around me like that, God miraculously come down, saved him...?... going preached the Gospel...?... Preacher going out, seeing the Father is still turning back the lost. No matter who you are, what environment you're in, Jesus will come anywhere you can believe.

L-22 Look at this prodigal this afternoon, where he was: worst place for a Hebrew that could be in, a pig pen.
Notice, look at the drama now. There's an old fashion country home. Let's just see it in our minds for a moment. I can see, living there, a lovely old couple, worked hard all their lives and had two sons. Of course, the son always falls heir to the inheritance. And then this younger son, perhaps... Let's say they'd went to church every Sunday, and they loved God, and they served God with all their heart.
But one day, this younger son, let's say he would start going out with a group that he had no business going with. Listen you young people...?... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...?... Just as soon as you get out from under...?... you're on your road back. Remember, just as soon as you get...?... I don't care who the boy is or who the girl is, if they're not saved keep them away from them. That's exactly right. And men, you too...
Somebody said, "Well, I can go into the barroom with a guy. I can drink a Coke while he drinks beer and whiskey, and come back out and be the same person." I doubt it. That's right. The Bible said, "Shun the very appearance of evil." Stay off the enemy's ground. The old...?... is so pretty. He would have you put on the dog and beat around an old...?... down the chute she went...?...
