<TITLE>18. Par 77-79</TITLE>L-77 Our heavenly Father, we thank Thee tonight because that You were so mindful of us, that You gave us this covenant with Jesus Christ the Son of God. O Father, let me someday have the way or the means that I could explain what I feel in my heart. And I pray that You'll bless this people here tonight. Lord God, let them not know that we're... We're not fanatics. Thou knowest that, Father, that we're not fanatics, yet we're classed that way. But we love You and we believe You. And You are here confirming every thing that we've said is the truth.
So give us courage tonight; give faith; give leadership. And let the Holy Spirit, the real Divine Leader of the New Testament, of the Holy Ghost Church, may He lead us all into that perfect faith, perfect love one for another. Make us, Lord, so much in love, that it'd be hard to leave the building. Just tie our hearts together as one, and may we be in one accord.
And may the same Holy Spirit that came on the day of Pentecost to go forth and to bring forth the Seed of Abraham to the promise of God, may He do His work tonight, here in this building. For I ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-78 I'm so sorry to keep you that long; honest I am. But I just get started... I--I wish that I could've got an education or something to express myself the way that I--I feel it. I can't. I just can't, but my heart is burning up with it, you... And I try to get it out. I slobber a whole lot, and I've been eating a lot of new grapes out of Canaan; that's what's making me slobber. So just don't pay any attention to that. So I love the Lord Jesus.
And I'm not here to be looked at. I'm here to represent my blessed Redeemer, Jesus Christ. And I'm not here with swelling words. I don't know any. I don't care to know any. Only thing that... biggest word that I know is J-e-s-u-s, and that's--that's--that's right. And He's the One I love. He's the One I desire to meet. He's the One that I desire to stand here and by His grace to represent Him by way of Divine power.
If I could preach the Gospel like some men, I would probably quit praying for the sick and preach the Gospel. Being that I can't preach the Gospel, then the only thing I can do is pray for the sick. That's my calling. That's what I do. May the Lord bless you now.

L-79 I'm going to call a prayer line. And now, tomorrow you don't have to get up real early to go to work, you can... Let's have a little prayer line, everybody...
How many believes, now, that the Holy Spirit, the Life of Jesus Christ is here on earth calling the Seed of Abraham to repentance? Let's see your... Then if--if you are, you can't say... I can't say you are, and you can't say I am. I believe you are, and you believe I am. If we are, we've got an unconditional covenant. Is that right? That God by grace...
Not because you say, "Well, Brother Branham, I--I tell you, I--I--I paid a whole lot to a widow woman one time and give her some money. I--I know I'm saved." Huh-uh. "I quit smoking, drinking and..." That--that--that never what saved me. No, no. "I got saved because, brother, I felt like shouting." Huh-uh. That don't make me saved. I'm saved because I met God's conditions. That's it. See? Look. I could quit drinking, smoking, gambling, everything like that, and still not be a Christian. Yes, sir.
