<TITLE>24. Par 99-102</TITLE>L-99 God, I pray that You'll speak to their hearts right now, knowing that the Gospel of Jesus Christ has saving grace in it for every whosoever will let him come. To die without Christ is to go to a devil's hell and a ceaseless punishing Eternity, but to accept Jesus Christ and to be borned again of His Spirit is Life Eternal to everyone who will believe it.
Won't you grant it today, Lord? Speak to Your people again I pray in Jesus' Name.
Now, while you have your heads bowed, is there someone back out there in the audience, saying, "Brother Branham, I haven't got conviction enough to stand up there with those people to accept Christ, but will you remember me in prayer?" Will you raise up your hand and say, "It's me, Brother Branham." I don't know your hearts. God does.
Well, God bless you, lady, I see your hand. God bless you. I see your hand. Someone else over in here raise up your hand and say, "I haven't conviction to come, but I wish you would pray for me, Brother Branham." God bless you, sir. I trust now the altar's empty or ready now to receive you. Jesus Christ is standing with outstretched arms.

L-100 Every man and woman here who has a need of God can receive it right now. Do you believe that? How many believes with all your heart now? With... Now, you sinners and people seeking the Holy Ghost, here's what the Holy Ghost is friends, you that's seeking It. You don't have to seek and beg and tarry. It's right with you now. See?
You say, "Well, we need a tarrying meeting." "Tarry" means "wait," not pray. While Peter spake these words, the Holy Ghost... They had to wait till the end of the forty days or fifty days for Pentecost. There's no more waiting after that. Right now you can receive It. No more tarrying, just now, just have a willing heart. Reach right up to God.
The other day when that archbishop standing here... Fought my... He said... Four months ago he criticized me and made fun of me and everything else; and he come into the room, he said, "I want to receive the Holy Spirit." Just laid hands on him and the Holy Ghost come on him. See?

L-101 Dr. Lee, one of the great fundamentals of the south, come up there to...?... and called me a witch, and the other day set in my house with tears running down his cheeks had received the Holy Ghost and couldn't hardly talk in English. That's right. He said, "Brother Branham, I am your brother now." Oh, what a difference.
What he done for Dr. Lee, Dr. Reedhead, the bishop and all those others, He's right here ready to do for the least and most... The...?... and person, the drunkard that'll come off the street and repent of his sins, God will give you this blessed Holy Ghost.
Last night when I was riding through the bowery or skid row down here, see that picture of life, the other side, them poor drunks laying piled on the street, and Brother Boze and I going down through there, to see it was a pitiful looking sight. That would be you if it wasn't for the grace of God. That--that would be me if it wasn't the grace of God.

L-102 Oh, mothers, boys, and fine men it once was, laying there on that place now, my heart just bled. I couldn't sleep hardly last night for hours after I got home, of a thinking of it. "What can I do, Lord?"
And God has give you the privilege to stand here sane and in your right mind today looking straight yonder at Calvary. Well, God will bless you and give you the baptism of the Holy Ghost right now. Do you believe it?
Now, I want you to do something. If you'll do this, if you'll forget who's standing next to you, if you'll forget who's in the room, forget even where you're at, just say, "Lord Jesus, I'm coming to You. You promised me the Holy Ghost, and by Your help I'll never leave this altar until You give me the baptism of the Holy Ghost."
