<TITLE>21. Par 79-82</TITLE>L-79 All right. Somebody in the balconies along, would you raise your hand saying, "Brother Branham, honestly, I--I don't live the right life, God knows that, and I--I--I try to; I want to." You're honest hearted, brother. You're honest hearted, sister. And look, don't die in that shape though, honey. If you die in that shape, you--you're lost. Now is the day of salvation; this is the time.
And you say, "I've joined churches. I've done everything, Brother Branham, but still, I just can't get that fellowship that I want. I just can't seem to know when I kneel on my knees that Jesus is standing there, and I love Him, and--and He talks to me, then I ask Him anything, and see Him turn right around and do it for me. I wished I could live that kind of life, wished I could live that close to Him. I want to, Brother Branham, and I raise my hand to God, and He sees me. And may He bring me into that fellowship."

L-80 Some four or five hands has been up, will someone else raise your hand if you will, say, "I, too, Brother Branham, want to be remembered in this closing prayer, that you'll... God will bring me into this fellowship."
Is there a backslider here that'd say, "O God, be merciful to me. I want to come back to the church. I want to come back to God and live the life that I once lived. I'm away from God now."
Talked to an old woman the other day, poor, old thing, she told me she's a member of a fine church, and how... The woman didn't know who I was, standing there she started cursing and carrying on. I said, "Shame on you." And she looked at me, and I had an old pair of overalls on. And when I told her I was a minister, she looked at me and laughed at me. And I said, "Why, you ought to know me." I said, "I'm Brother Branham."

L-81 And she started crying; she put her hands in mine, said, "Brother Branham, I'm ashamed of myself. I was once a Christian, but I've wandered away." Said, "Oh, pray for me that God will make me a Christian again."
I said, "Certainly, sister, right now we could do that."
Now, will you just be that much and say, "Now, God..." Right here in the church where we dedicate it for church service, would you raise your hand, say, "God be merciful to me, 'cause I've went away from God."
How many here's that's not borned again? You go to church, but you know you're not borned again? Would you raise your hand and say, "Remember me, Brother Branham, to God, 'cause I'm not borned again. I haven't the Holy Spirit. I go to church, but when it comes to that close fellowship with God, I don't have it. I need to be borned again, but yet, I go to church. And I want you to pray for me." Would you raise your hand? Anyone in the building?

L-82 Now, remember, friends, this... I don't know you, God does. See? A little crowd here, couple hundred people or more setting here, tonight. It won't be long; there's man in here, and women, that's aged; your hair's gray. Nature proves that you're not going to be here very long. You know that, with all sincerity. That's right.
And looky, there's some young people here will be gone before you. Look at little babies... they just brought me one with leukemia, and another one, oh, my, polio, and everything else. See? You don't know when you're going. Death's no respecter of person. So if you're not correctly right with God before we go into these other two nights of service, let's raise our hands and say, "God, remember me; I'm in need of You."
All right. Now, just keep your head bowed. About five hands went up.
