<TITLE>06. Par 20-23</TITLE>L-20 Now, we thank you for everything, and tomorrow afternoon, if you can, I think the services begin at two o'clock. Is that right? Two o'clock. That'll let me be here by two-thirty, perhaps. And I'll speak a little while and then pray for the sick. And then...
You've been very nice in your attendance, and rain, bad nights you've come anyhow. And you've helped us with the finance to pay the debts. I think they'll have it all together. Mr. Brewer's going to give it to my son tonight, and the expenses to be paid, and if there's enough not to pay all the expenses, it'll be paid in the morning. If not, why, after my love offering's taken up tomorrow, it'll be made in, and it'll be paid. If it's not, which... I believe, it's already more than paid. And if there's any left over, whatever it is, I will not take it myself; I'll stick it right over in foreign missions, to send across the sea, and do everything that I can. If it lacks a little, then I'll, from my love offering, I'll make it up. See?

L-21 Now, we want to leave without debts owing, everybody feeling wonderful and fine, and glorifying God. We try to keep that standard everywhere. And all the ministers, and the people here...
If you're here and you don't belong to a church, why don't you join with these brother's church, if you live near them. You believe in this type of ministry, well, join the churches that believe in that. Go and join the churches that backs that up, that believe in that. See? And you come over and get healed, and go back into a bunch of people where that atmosphere is, that doesn't believe in Divine healing and things, why, you'll be just as bad off as you ever was. See? That's right. Yoke yourself right up among unbelievers. That's what the Bible said. Is that right? But believers... And so, I wish you could do that. And I pray that you will.

L-22 Now. Now, if your church is a believer in Divine healing, and believing the blessings of God... See, your church doesn't save you. Jesus is your Saviour. But if... You'll do a lot better if you get among people... And if you do believe in Divine healing and living among those who doesn't believe in Divine healing, you're indebtiment to them. That's right. Always said... You know, people say, "Do I have to quit this, Brother Branham, if I'm going to join the Full Gospel churches? Will I have to give up shows, dances, and so forth?" No. Don't have to give up anything. Not a thing.
We're nearly all northern people here. We have little scrub oaks out here; they hold their leaves all winter long. When springtime comes, you all don't have to go out and take off the old leaves so the new ones can come on. Just let the new life come up, and the old leaves goes off anyhow. So you don't... You don't have to have a measuring stick; just get new life in there; it'll take care of itself. That's right. The old things just fade away and the new life comes on.

L-23 Over in the Gospel of Luke, the 2nd chapter the 25th verse, I want to read just a little portion of Scripture. You're so lovely, I just hate to pass a night without speaking to you for a few moments. When I come back, we're going to try to add some of them along, so we can have some afternoon services and just preach the Gospel and have a wonderful time.
Behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon;... the same man was just and devout, waiting... the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
It was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parent brought... the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Lord, now let... thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
For my eyes have seen thy salvation,
