<TITLE>01. Par 1-3</TITLE>53-1107, How The Angel Came To Me, Sports Center, Owensboro, KY, 83 min
L-1 [Brother Branham reads from John 5:28-37--Ed.]
... for the hour is coming in the which that all are in the grave shall hear his voice,
And shall come forth; they which have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they which have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
I can of my own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: my judgment is just: because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father which has sent me.
If I bar--bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
There is another that beareth witness of me: and I know that the witness which He witnesses of me is true.
Ye sent unto John, and he bear witness unto the truth.
... I receive not testimony from man: but the things that I say, that ye may be saved.
He was a burning and... shining light: and you were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father has given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me that the Father has sent me.
And the Father Himself, which has sent me, has borne witness of me.

L-2 Now, we bow our heads just a moment for prayer. Our heavenly Father, we come tonight to worship Thee. And we're thankful for the opportunity that we have of--of coming. And through this channel of--of Holy Spirit which has been bought by the Blood of Jesus Christ, that we have access to the throne of grace through the Name of Jesus... And we're so happy for it tonight.
And we pray now that You'll forgive us of our sins. And as we've gathered here scattered around about over the city, and we, in the little auditorium here tonight with this little group of people, I pray that Your holy Presence will meet with us. And we know that You're already here. And we pray that You'll do the exceedingly, abundantly here tonight. And may our hearts rejoice. May every Christian take a new hold tonight. And may, if there be any unsaved, may they just renounce sin in their life tonight, and come, and believe, and be saved. Grant it, Father, and meet with Thy servant here, Lord, and help me as I hold the purchase of Your Blood before me. For we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-3 It's been one of the most amazing things that I have noticed a long the lines of my ministry for our Lord Jesus, is the peculiarity of people. And the study of human life is one of the greatest things that--that a person can study: to watch nature of people. And the different parts of the nations and worlds to where you go, you'll notice that there's a different--there's a different attitude that people take towards Christ, towards His service, and towards His servants, towards worship. And one of the things has been, that one type of meeting will just be wonderful in one part of the country, where it won't work in the other part of the country.
Now, I believe, mostly to blame for that... Or not to blame, but mostly is the way the people are taught. And the church will never live higher than its pastor teaches. You seldom find that. If you got a good, sound, sane, Gospel teacher, you'll usually find that type of church. And it's just where your pastor leads you, the--the pastors that you feed on.
