<TITLE>16. Par 75-77</TITLE>L-75 May God grant each one of you, I give you an invitation today to come to Him. And on that side yonder where the breezes are cool, where the evergreen tree is standing on each side of the river, and the leaves are for the healing of the nations, may we meet there at the river and serve Him and live with Him.
I'll not be an old man when I step across the place. God gave me a body. I growed up to about twenty-three; I was my best. It's failing now. Twenty more years is past; I'm beginning to get--feel my age. I know my shoulders are stooping. And I know it ain't too many days out yonder till I shall see Him Who I love. That's right. I got loved ones waiting at the other shore yonder. No matter how old I am, or how wrinkled I am, or how gone I am, or how gray my hair is, when these feet of mine shall touch that blessful shore, I'll in a twinkling of an eye be changed; I'll be a young man again (Hallelujah.), never to die, never to be sick, but to live forever.

L-76 The reward of the just waits for each believer. I trust that you are this afternoon while we bow our heads for a word of prayer.
Our heavenly Father, the way's growing drear, precious Lord, linger near. I pray that You'll be with us. Be with this audience, Lord, as seeing that the day of redemption is at hand. Knowing not what tomorrow holds, but knowing this one thing, that anchored in my soul...
O God, when I think of a poor lost boy, undone, alienated from God, raised in a sinful home, setting out yonder on a creek bank with a pole in my hand, crying, no peace, the great winds blowing through the trees saying there's a land beyond the river... I'm so thankful that You saved me.
And today in my heart, Lord, it's such a privilege to get to tell others, and to see that the work is confirmed by Your great hands of a vindication with signs and wonders following. How I thank You for this. Help us, Lord.
God bless the poor sinner in here today, the backslider, the unregenerated, that church member standing over there. Oh, yes, they know the Bible; so does Satan. The devil believes and trembles. Many of them, Father, saying that Abraham believed God and it was imputed to him for righteousness. But, Lord, You give him the seal of circumcision as a sign. And when a man is truly believing, I believe, Father, that You seal him with the sign of the Holy Ghost. "Grieve not this Holy Spirit whereby you're sealed unto the day of your redemption."
God, be merciful today when You're showing the greatest signs that You've ever showed since You were on earth in a body of flesh. I pray that You'll bless this audience, as we wait on Thee, Lord, and I pray that many will make their decisions to be filled with Thy Spirit, for we ask it in Jesus' Name.

L-77 While you have your heads down and every person in prayer... Think of it now. Are you really filled with the Holy Spirit? Are you in the Kingdom of God? Are you just a strictly a fundamental believer, and God's never a vindicated anything to you yet? Oh, step away from that tree. Get over on the other side here where the powers of God is moving.
 There is rest for the weary,
 There is rest for the weary,
 There is rest for the weary,
 When He sets you free.
 On the other side of Jordan,
 In the sweet fields of Eden
 Where the Tree of Life is blooming,
 There is rest for you.
 Now Jesus breaks... (Denominations, formal...?...)
 Jesus breaks every fetter,
 When He sets you free!
 I will ever, ever praise Him,
 I will ever, ever praise Him, (Be willing when He  calls you away.)
 I will ever, ever praise Him,
 For He sets me free!
[Brother Branham begins humming--Ed.] Now, Lord, this is Your meeting. Where is that wayward person, Father, that You're calling?
 When... We will ever, ever praise Him.
