<TITLE>17. Par 70-73</TITLE>L-70 What's the matter with the church of the living God today, who's promised that same blessing? What's the matter with us today? Because we can't get enough together to group ourselves together to come into the holiest of holies and there stay, and hide ourselves from the things of the world, and live a full surrendered, consecrated life for the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. That's what it is, coming into the glorious light of the Gospel. And in doing so, you receive it.
How many in here say, "Brother Branham, I'd like to live that life" let's see your hands? Just put your... "I'd like to live that life." God bless you.

L-71 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Is there a sinner in here, say, "I never did accept any of it, Brother Branham, I'd like to even taste the manna tonight." Let me see your hands. Say, "I'd just like to taste the manna." God bless you, lady. Someone else say, "I'd just like to taste the manna. I've never even been saved yet. But what you're talking about, I'd like to live that kind of life. Oh, I'm so tossed about. I got so many cares and worries. I--I just seem like I just can't get along."
God wants to give you that. "Whosoever will, let him come and drink at the fountain."

L-72 You know the reason I ask? You know why you raised your hand? Anybody else wants to raise their hand? I want to tell you something. If God's speaking to you, raise your hand. I'll tell you why He's talking to you. It's a point that I want to make.
Another sinner raise your hand, say, "Brother Branham, I would sure like to be there. I'd like to eat that manna, just see what the goodness of the Lord is. Oh, I know I belong to church. I've went there a long time. But as far as being saved, I never have. I'll just... I--I'm not fooling myself; I got to live with myself. I have a little confession: Oh, I said I believe Jesus is the Son of God, but I know devils say the same thing."
Devils beg for mercy, beg for peace, beg not to be punished, and recognize Him, and confess before the crowd that He was the Son of the living God. That's right. That don't save you, no sir. The application of the Blood of Jesus to you heart is what saves you. Truly it is.

L-73 Is there another hand would go up and say, "That's me, Brother Branham, I'd like to have that life."
The only reason the lady raised her hand, because God was dealing with her. That's right. That's... "No man can come to Me except the Father draws Him first." Is that right? You can't do it.
Do you know we hate to say this from the platform, but that is the Bible truth. There's men that's in this world and women, who will never, no matter what the Holy Spirit would do, they'll never, never, never accept the Lord Jesus. They were born for that purpose, not--God not willing, but His foreknowledge foreknew it. That's right. The Bible said so. That they knew it.
