<TITLE>07. Par 23-26</TITLE>L-23 Now, we will call the prayer line. If Brother Baxter... He was here just a few... or Bill... (What?... Give out a hundred?) Let's call from... Let's go back and call from number 1 tonight, again make another call through number 1. Who has prayer card number 1? What's the letter? W, all right. W-number-1, who has... Would you raise your hand somewhere, with a prayer card W-number-1? Look... Now, watch your prayer cards. And you people, turn it over and look on the back of it. On the front of it here has got my picture, and a little place for your address and name; on the back of it, it's got a letter and a number, and it'll be a letter W, and start off with 1. Has anyone got that prayer card W-number-1? Raise up your hand. Do you have it, lady? Have you got W-number-1? All right. Number 2, who has number 2? Number 2, all right, sir. Number 3, number 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Let's stand those up first. W-1 to W-10, line up over here to the right with the ushers, if you will, and then we'll see how we come along. W-1 to W-10, if you will, right over here. If the organist now will give us a little key of a "Abide With Me," "Only Believe," or something that way...

L-24 How many believes that God loves music? Thank you. Sometime ago someone said to me; he said, "Brother Branham, there's one thing that I have against... that you have music with your meetings."
I said, "The Lord likes that."
He said, "Oh, not music, no, no."
I said, "One time there was a prophet, who got all... He's kind of ruffled up because some fellows come to him and--and would kind of got him out of humor; and his name was Elijah. We don't like to think that but it's the truth." And he said, 'If it wasn't I respected the presence of Jehoshaphat, I wouldn't even look at you.'" My, what a word for a prophet to say. But he said, "Nevertheless, bring me a minstrel." Is that right? And when the minstrel begin to play, the Spirit of the Lord come on the prophet. Visions begin to happen. He begin to see things when he got in the Spirit. And the music helped bring it on the prophet. If the Spirit... If music will help in that day, it'll help today also. Don't you believe so? So I'm a lover of music, and I know the Lord loves music also. All right.

L-25 Now, I believe... Did all ten of them go up, brethren? All right. That was... Where'd I, from fifty to what? What say? You have how many missing? One... Number 4 is missing, a prayer card W-4. Would some of you look at your neigh... All that's got cards, look at your cards, and look at somebody else's cards. Prayer card W-4 is a missing, and it's a must be a... It's someone maybe can't hear, maybe deaf or something. If you'd just look it will help us a whole lot if you'll do it. And sometimes it's not English speaking people. And I--I don't want to leave anyone out when their prayer card is called. W-4, all right. And now, let's call... Where was that, up to ten? Now, let's call up to twenty-five: W-1 to 25. Let's see how... Let them line up over here: W-1 to 25. And then we'll see how they line up and...
Sometimes I don't get to all of them, I just do the best that I can, and--and I'm... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]

L-26 I can just imagine now as we quieten this awe just before... We trust the Holy Spirit will come in out midst. I can look back... Let's turn our views back to Jerusalem, I can see a Man coming down off the mountain with three men following Him, a Man in his middle age... I've read where they said that they judged Him to be in His fifties, but He's only thirty. Perhaps His work was so strenuous; His beard was probably turning gray and... They told Him He was a Man about fifty, when He was thirty. His life was short but packed full.
And I see a--a father coming with a child; poor little old fellow had epilepsy. 'Course, they called it a devil then, but they just give it another name today. It's still a devil. And said, "I brought him to Your disciples and they couldn't do nothing for him."
