<TITLE>17. Par 184-194</TITLE>L-184 Is there another one before we pray, one more would say, "Brother Branham, on this Easter morning I now, before I even see the visible signs of Christ's appearing, if He shall so do so, I now accept Him before I see anything. I'm not going to be like Thomas, wait till I see Him and feel Him, and so forth, and then say. I'm going to accept Him right now."
He said, "How much greater is their reward, who has not yet seen, or felt, or anything, but has believed."
Is there another would put your hand up, inside or out? God bless you, and you, and you. You, sister, God bless you. That... You, sister, God bless you. All right, with our heads bowed...

L-187 Our heavenly Father, Thou has said, "Preach the Word. Be instant in season, out of season. Reprove, rebuke with all long-suffering and doctrine." Preaching no other Gospel but that which is committed unto us... Christ died, rose again the third day, according to the Scriptures; is now seated in heavenly places in the presence of the majesty of God, making intercessions upon our confession. And this is His Word, "He that heareth My words, and believeth on Him that sent Me, has Everlasting Life."
And today in this hurried up, scattered message, many has raised their hands. You seen them. How could even You fail to see them, when You know every sparrow that falls on the street, You know it. The great omnipotent God, You see everything; You know everything and can do everything. Now, according to Your Word, You have saved these from sin, and we thank Thee for it, Father. May their lives be long, happy. May they serve Thee all the days of their life. Coming tonight, if they've never been immersed, may they come and be baptized, calling on the Name of the Lord, and be filled with the Holy Spirit this very night. Grant it, dear God. We ask it in Christ's Name.

L-190 Now, Father, we're entering the service. And I know Your Word cannot fail. It said that in our own town, "A servant, in his town among the people." But twice, Lord, You've let it happen, in these ten years. Won't You grant it again today? It's Easter, and our minds are all fresh upon Easter thoughts, upon resurrection. It's freshed anew upon the Gospel this morning, from hearing it preached here twice. And we want to see You, Lord. And I've told the people that You're here. You said You was. You was omnipresent always. Won't You come now and take the instruments, poor as they are, Lord, of Your poor servant, work through us today, that the man and woman setting here, and those who have just accepted You, will see what they have did, that it's not something false; it's the Lord Jesus. O God, grant it. For we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-191 Oh, my. Do you feel good? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] I just feel like that, even though tired and scoured out. Just how glorious the Word is.
Now, friends, all the preaching that I could do... I--I kind of... Today been preaching twice. Got to hurry tomorrow, to drive... I got to leave early in the morning for Tacoma, Washington, on into Canada. And they wanted me to fly up to be for services tomorrow, but I may drive.
So now notice, now, all the preaching I could do... One thing Christ could do and be worth all the things that I could say in a thousand years to you, if you should live to see it.

L-194 Now, I want to ask you something, and I want you to be just as reverent. Now, many of you are standing. I know you're tired, but just give us a few minutes. Now, I'm taking this... Understand, I don't say it will. I'm... By faith, that I've asked God to do so. And I'm asking Him now that He would produce a meeting here, just like He does on the field, that the people here at Jeffersonville would know that Jesus raised from the dead. Now, we've had it twice.
