<TITLE>02. Par 6-9</TITLE>L-6 Poor little thousands and thousands of little children over there, that know nothing of God and hungry, and they've got just as much right to hear about Jesus as my baby and your baby, just the same right. Jesus died for them the same as He did for--for our children, and... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
... but father in the Gospel even here at the age of seventy-five or seventy-six years old still wants to spend the rest of his days on the battlefield over in Africa. It just a group from Chicago has just got a hold of me and said if I would accept it, they'd buy the Chicago Gospel Tabernacle, air condition it, and rebuild it all over and interior it and everything, buy me big home up there in Chicago Heights, if I'd be just the--the pastor there that when I come back into the nation, and I'd accept it just be a pastor, and have Brother Bosworth come along as my associate pastor...

L-7 I said, "Brother, them's all over the United States, but yet we can't accept nothing till Jesus Christ has said yes. I said, "After..." And we was talking to Brother Bosworth about it.
He said, "How can I be a pastor either, Brother Branham, when I hear that call coming from across the sea?"
You're just not the same if you ever get over there and see what it is. Now, I--I mean it, and I'm--I'm an American. I was born here an American, America. I had four or five brothers in the last war. I've got a boy here going in now, right away. And when I was in France and Germany, I walked over the graves of many a dead American, a Branham, rather, that gave their life under the stars and stripes. If mine had to lay there for the cause, I'd gladly lay it down.
But if there ever was a place that needed missionaries, is America. That's right. It's true. Farthest away from God that I know of is the United States. That's... I say that with respects as an American. It's... We have been so educated and taught and so many things throwed right into our laps, we don't know how to trust God. Don't know nothing...

L-8 We just simply... And you go into a congregation. This one says, "Well..." Now, at nighttime... You notice this little handful of people, you setting here and feel one coming here and here and here and here, just everywhere, people, one thinking this and one thinking that. Why, I know what they're thinking about. Sure I do. God reveals it. And one of them saying, "Well, Doctor So-and-so said it was mental telepathy." This one says, "Well, he's a spiritualist." And this one says, "It's a devil." That's the reason the Holy Spirit can't move. You see? It's got to be one accord. See? Got to be one accord, and then God's blessings and power will pour upon His people. Until we can get that, we're fighting the air. Truly. It's very hard, very hard, and it--it almost kills you.

L-9 Now, I... In speaking I usually don't speak over five hours at a time, so it won't take very long, so... And some of them said that I get just started talking, and I just don't know when to stop. But now, this afternoon if you'll excuse me for a few moments, I want to try to take a text and--and speak to you just a little bit on Gospel terms.
This is the fifth week of constant service of this type. There's no need of me trying to explain to you, my dear Christian friend, of how that the--that works. You--you--you... It's no need... You can't talk it. And many people think I'm an isolationist. I'm not an isolationist. I love people. You don't know how I'd like to take each individual and set down and have an hour or two with them to talk. I can't do that, 'cause there's something happens.
