<TITLE>04. Par 13-16</TITLE>L-13 So all these things, God's just got children all over the world, and you know the--the bad part of this is all about? When I come in, I say... Oh, I look at this fellow; I see he's been coming a lot to the church, and I meet this man here. Then first thing you know, I have to say, "Well, good-bye. I--I hope to see you again," and then when we start to leave, it just look like...
Now, I just got--stayed here long enough, till it looks like I just got used to--to these people here in Chicago; and now, if I'd have to leave, why, it looks like leaving home again. But one of these days--one of these days, we're going to meet where we'll never part again. That's right. We're going to meet where we'll never say good-bye and never part again.

L-14 I remember the last time on my little boy back there on his mother, when I was standing by her side, the Angels of God taken her away. I... The last time that I kissed her, I said... She said, "Bill, I'll be standing at the east side of the gate."
I said, "When Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all of them is coming in," I said, "just start screaming my name. I'll find you." I said, "I'll get the children together and we'll get there."
Well, I made appointments like that across the world with people. I--I want to live right, that when that when that day comes, why, I know there's a great dark chamber setting yonder in front of me like there is in everyone else. Every time your heart beats, you're one beat closer to that chamber. It's called death and every one of us is headed that way.

L-15 But I want to say as Saint Paul of old, "I want to know Him in the power of His resurrection, that when He calls from--when He calls my name, I want to be called out from among the dead to live with Him forever and with all of His people."
Now, I didn't know I was going to speak this afternoon. Brother Baxter just called me, awhile ago, and said, "Brother Branham, we--we want you to come over and speak awhile this afternoon."
I said, "Oh, my. Didn't they get enough of that the other day?"
Now, I was thinking of something here that I was going to speak of back in Moses of... But I would... How many thinks that back where in Moses where God said to him, "What's that in your hand?" See? He said, "It's a stick," and God used him.
But I believe now, setting and looking at this crowd, the Holy Spirit seems to me to turn over here to another place just now, and we'll just read just a little bit out of Saint John. And you pray for me, and I want to just talk you a short time.

L-16 I know you're setting here, and it's your vacation time, and you sacrificing your times of being out somewhere else to come in church, that shows where your heart is. That's right. That shows what you... what you are. So let's bow our heads for a word of prayer.
Heavenly Father, now, we commit all things to You. This lovely group of people setting in here this afternoon, we're here. They are--they're white, colored, yellow, brown, all different nationalities of Irish, Jew, Mexican, and Anglo-Saxon, everything. We're all here together, grouped together, all filled with the Spirit waiting for the consolation of the Church, the second coming of Jesus Christ.
