<TITLE>26. Par 263-268</TITLE>L-263 Someday its going to be over. I'll preach my last time, and close that old Bible for the last time (That's right.), or one of them. That's right. I'll sing my last song. I'll preach my last sermon. I'll pray for the last sick person. I'll do everything. One time will end it, and I'll never be mortal no more. The wheels of mortal life is turning here in my body, making my hands reach, my eyes look, and my lips speak, and so forth. Every wheel in there turning, will stand still. That's all. But, brother, that little Something inside here is going somewhere else then, going to climb a little higher then. I'm going to have a body waiting for me up there, that's not made by hands, but is fashioned after God.
And so at the river I'll stand.
Guide my feet, hold my hand,
Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me on. (That's right.)
When the way's growing drear,
Precious Lord, linger near...

L-265 That's Who I want to stand by me. I don't care if there isn't a doctor, there isn't nobody else. "Lord, stand by me." And my life is almost gone, my breath is fleeting, my pulse coming up my sleeve, my wife and children standing around the bed, wringing their hands, and my friends looking on, saying, "Oh, Brother Branham..." At the river I'll stand, Guide my feet, hold my hand, Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me on.
And my hopes is built right in there, that He Who promised and swore, by Abraham, if I would accept this, I'd be born again. The natural things of the world would fade away. All theologies of man would fade away. And I'd believe God, believe God alone, and on Him I'd stand. When I come to the end of that road, I want to stand right there in that supernatural power that changed me from a sinner to a Christian. I'll trust Him in that day, for my all in all. If you haven't yet, my brother, sister, do it today, will you, while we pray.

L-268 Heavenly Father, we thank Thee from the depths of our soul for Thy Word. Oh, what a consolation we have of knowing that our hopes is built on nothing less than Jesus' Blood with righteousness. When all around everywhere else, every earthly hope has failed and gone, then we have Jesus. The shells drop off. The earthly things scatter like the night before the sun, but the Lord Jesus remains the same in our lives.
If there be one here this morning, Father dear, who doesn't positive know beyond a shadow of doubt, that they've passed from death unto life... No good works, no church, no nothing else can save, just Thee and Thee alone. That this man... Father, I pray that in my broke up words this morning, I couldn't present it the way that You gave it to me. But in my broke up way, I pray that men and women in this building this morning has received it, till then they may know that they must be strained through this Blood spray and brought into the fellowship of God, jointheirs with Jesus in the Kingdom of God by one Spirit. Not some man pushed us through, but a Spirit inside the blood Cell pulled us, drawed us to Himself. And we've come through the Blood, and now into Christ in the fellowship.
If they're not in there, Father, though they be years a church member, through they have tried hard, Father, take them through this very hour to bring them right into Thee, into Thy fellowship, that when life shall be ended here on earth, Eternal Life dwells within us, the Lord Jesus Christ. And may we be raised up like He was at the last day.
