<TITLE>15. Par 56-59</TITLE>L-56 While you have your heads bowed, let me tell you just a little something recently happened. Sinner, think of this. No matter how much you go to church, if you're not borned again, you're lost. No matter how good you are, and how--what a fine neighbor, you're lost without being borned again.
I was setting on a bench, or a little stool, eating some ice cream with an old Methodist minister friend of mine. The Agriculture Hour come on from Louisville, Kentucky. And the little 4-H club, they said, had perfected a machine that would produce a grain of corn that was so perfect that you couldn't tell it from the natural grain of corn that was growed in the field. A sack-full of each, pick up one handful out of one sack growed in the field, and the other handful that they'd made, mix them together, they'd both make the same amount of cornflakes. Open them up in the laboratory, they had the same kind of skin, the same amount of moisture, calcium, and what all goes in the grain of corn, every one just exactly alike. You couldn't tell one from the other, no way to separate them no more, which was growed in the field, and which one... they... was growed in the field, or which one was made by the machine, mechanically.

L-57 But there's only one way he said you could tell them. That's (listen) bury them. The one that man made just exactly like the one that God made, every physical thing looked just exactly alike, but it didn't have a germ of life in it. And the one that man made would rot, and that was all of it, but the one that God made, when it rotted, had a germ of life, and lived again.
You may go to church, act like a Christian, pertain to be a Christian, but, brother, if that germ of immortal Life of the Holy Ghost isn't resting in your soul, you'll never raise in the resurrection, the first resurrection. Won't you think that over seriously? As your brother, I speak to you and encourage you in the Name of the Lord Jesus, to as much as raise your hand tonight to Him, and say, "God, give me that germ of Life," while we pray.

L-58 Father, grant it tonight, that whosoever shall do this may receive Life. One more time while... Look, will you raise your hand once more, someone in the building...?... God bless you, I see you back there, brother. Another one down here. God bless you, young man. Someone else, "I want that Life in me, Brother Branham."
God bless this man down here. Yes, I see you. God sees you too. All right, we'll pray.
Heavenly Father, You see them who put up their hands. I pray tonight, that You'll give them immortal Life just now, because they have believed. "No man can come to Me except the Father draws him, and all that comes I'll give him Everlasting Life and raise them up at the last day."
That's Your promise. You'll keep Your promise, Father. Something struck their heart. It was You, great Jehovah, Who was in flesh that day and talked to Abraham, turned him back to a young man. You're here, speaking Life.
You said, "No man can come to Me" said Jesus, "except My Father draws him."

L-59 They couldn't have raised their hand, young or old, unless You drawed them. And when You said, "All that comes, I'll give Everlasting Life."... I'm quoting Your Word to You, Jesus. Now, give them that Everlasting Life, as they have accepted.
Bless the waiting audience. Someday in the Kingdom of God may we have a great time of rejoicing, thinking of this night because of Your Presence and Your Word, for we ask it in Jesus' Name, God's beloved Son. Amen.
The Lord bless you. Oh, my, don't the Word make you feel scoured out, better?
Now, we're real late tonight. I'm sorry to... No, I'm not, no, sir. That was the Word of God. See? I'm not sorry. Just be a little more lenient, and stay just a little bit, we'll start praying for the sick.
