<TITLE>20. Par 67-69</TITLE>L-67 Someday, brother, when the sun refuses to shine, when the moon goes down and the stars hide their face from the earth, and the last sermon's preached, and the Bible's laying closed, the churches blowed into bits, and the rocks are convulsing and crying out, I want to know Him. Amen. As the poet in the song said, "I can see Adam shake Eve and say, 'Eve, this is it, honey.' Eve reaches over and shakes Abel, and say, 'Abel.' Abel shakes Seth. Seth shakes Noah. Noah shakes Abraham." Amen. The time is come. Know Him in the power of His resurrection. Know that my inspiration that's been leading me, and been classed a fanatic and whatevermore, it's brought me to the line, it's brought me to the paying off place.
Mothers, you old gray headed mothers and daddies here, don't worry, your... The inspiration that's led you to Christ and you come through many dangers toils and snares, don't worry, some morning it'll pay off. It'll pay off. Jesus will come. We'd be caught up with Him in the air.

L-68 Watch that baby, laying stretched out upon the bed of that prophet, where the inspiration laid it there prepared. And God's got His arms out tonight, and your heart laying there. He wants to prepare a place in there so He can come, and reach down, and pick you up, and take you up in the resurrection. The same God Almighty, the great Jehovah, Who walked up in the face of Abraham... Somebody said, "Do you say that was Jehovah God?" Sure, the Bible said it was. There was two angels, walked over... Said "How did they eat that cow and eat... I mean that calf, and drink the cows milk, eat corn bread and butter? Was that God?" Yes, sir. The Bible said it was God and two angels. Oh," I said, "you limit God with your unbelief." I said, "God had nothing to do..."
He said, "Come here, Gabriel; come here, Michael, stand here by My side." He said, [Brother Branham blows--Ed.] "Step in that body." Amen. Reached over, [Blows] "Step in that body." Said, "Come here, handful of atoms, and a few cosmic light, a little cosmic meters, some petroleums, and things that this body's made out of." He formed it and stepped into it, walked down and talked to Abraham, with dust on His clothes, and had His back turned to Sarah when she laughed in the tent. He said, "Why did you laugh, Sarah?"
She said, "I never laughed."
Said, "Oh, yes you did." Hallelujah. He formed Himself a body to appear before Abraham. And the very God that formed that body, has our soul in His hands tonight. Let's stretch out a place and make a place for Him to dwell at, that some glorious day when He returns back to earth, He will speak and we'll appear in His likeness to live with Him forever. Oh, I want to see Him. I want to go with Him then. I don't care what the world says today. You don't either.

L-69 And my sinner friend here tonight, if that experience isn't yours, God waits for you. Open up your heart, let Him come. Don't take reasoning. Don't say, "Well, I've been a pretty good man." That's all right. It's a good thing to be a good man, but are you borned again? Have you made a preparation that when He comes by, He will resurrect your dead too, bring you to life again. I hope you have. If you haven't may you be ready to do it now while we bow our heads. And if the organist will come, while we have our heads bowed just a moment in prayer...
Everyone in prayer, if you will. Solemnly, great moment, might be one little boy in here tonight that might, God fixing to use in a few days as a minister. Might be some poor old sinner boy here that's never accepted Christ or some woman. Maybe life will change for them in a few moments. Maybe some lukewarm church member goes to church, never really been a Christian, what about it, friend of mine? When you come to the end of the road, is your soul going to be like that woman that died over there in Louisville a few weeks ago? When your reasonings is breaking away, what about your soul?
