<TITLE>17. Par 72-76</TITLE>L-72 Would you, back there, anywhere? Up in the balconies to my left, anywhere along the wall up there? God bless you, you, you. Oh, that's wonderful. God sees every hand, young ladies, aged men and women. The balcony to my right, anyone? God bless you, all along the wall there; that's wonderful. Anyone else, anywhere in the building raising you hand? God bless you, you. That's wonderful. Great host all through the middle aisle. Over to my right? Great... God bless you. You know you can't raise your hand from the depths of your heart, believing, unless God's under obligation to give you Everlasting Life.
Jesus said, "He that heareth My words, believeth on Him that sent Me, has Everlasting Life, and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death to Life."

L-73 If you only knew... My beloved brother, I see your hands over here to my left, raising, sister and brother. Yes, my... People, just the Holy Spirit speaking to them, them raising their hand... God bless you. God bless way back in the back, yes. All through, everywhere, God be with you.
You know, if you raise your hands with a sincerity of your heart to God, say, "Lord, this is all I know, just to raise my hand, that's what the preacher asked me to do, to believe in my heart that You died in my stead, that the innocent Son of God took my place at Calvary, and here I am, a guilty sinner. And I don't want to be separated from God, and from my loved ones at that day."

L-74 It may come before this week's over; 'fore midnight tonight it may come. You have no assurance. That heart may stop beating any time. I don't believe it's going to be too long till this city, with the rest of the nations will be laid in ashes. Pecking around here, hunting uranium, putting it in a bomb, blow your own self up... Right in the hands of wicked, sinful men, all of the nation's just honeycombed. You wouldn't accept Christ, the nation wouldn't. You wouldn't accepted the cross, so you're getting a double-cross: communism breathing, breeding, everywhere like germs. O God, have mercy. I'm so happy tonight to be a Christian.

L-75 Oh, I... Don't leave this building without accepting Christ. And the only thing you have to do is from your heart believe that Jesus Christ took your place, that He was the Son of God, and was made sin for you. And you can't do a thing to save yourself. You just have to believe that He saved you, and accept it in your heart as your Saviour, accept His death in your stead. How much more could you want? Then raise your hand to God. Say, "God, this is me, I now come."
Just as I am, without one plea...
Just keep praying, raising your hand; God's looking.
... Thy Blood was shed for me,
Because Thy promise, (Do you?) I now believe,
Then O, O Lamb of God, (Here I come with my hand up, now I believe.)
I come, (yes, Lord), I come.

L-76 Is there one more? Just another anywhere? God bless you over here, sonny boy. You can't tell, that might be a John Wesley setting there. It might be a Sankey, a Moody, Finney, who knows. God bless you, young man, and you back there. God bless you, young lady. God bless you, sir, there. The little, colored girl, God bless you, honey. God be with you, everyone.
Now, let's bow our heads and ask God to receive them. God bless you, sir, setting right here. That's right. Don't be left out; raise your hand. If you believe me to be His servant, I promise you this at the bottom of my heart, if you'll accept in your heart the Son of God as your Saviour, raise your hand, right now to God, and you'll never come into condemnation, but pass from death to Life. If you believe He deals with me as a--as His servant, as His prophet, if you want to call it that, raise your hand to Him, and say, "I accept it, I believe it, Brother Branham. I believe it, because you're not saying your own words, you're saying the Word of God. And the Holy Ghost is telling me in my heart to receive Him right now."
