<TITLE>18. Par 79-84</TITLE>L-79 "Simon, I have something to say to you. Doctor Simon, you invited Me down here. And when I come because you invited Me, you never give Me any water to wash My feet. You never anointed My face and hands with oil. You never kissed Me, Simon. You didn't love Me, Simon. If you'd have loved Me, you would've washed My feet. If you'd have loved Me, you'd anointed Me. If you'd have anointed Me, loved Me, you would've kissed Me; but you never made Me welcome."
Oh, that Pharisee, big fat, roly-poly thing... That's the way it is today. "Oh, with all the degrees?" Yes.
Said, "You giveth Me no kiss."
Oh, I'd like to kiss Him. "Kiss the Son," the Bible said, "less He be angry." Kiss Him.
Said, "You give Me no kiss. But this poor woman, ever since she's come in, she's continually kissed My feet, and washed them with her tears, wiped them with the hairs of her head." O God. "And this little woman, she's washed My feet with her tears; she's wiped them with her hands--with her hair. And she's kissed not My...?... My feet."

L-80 She's standing. She don't know what to do. Her eyes are staring.
Then He turns and looks to her. Oh, my. He said, "And I say unto her, 'Her sins, which were many, are all forgiven her.'" [Brother Branham weeps--Ed.] That's what I want Him to say to me. "Her sins which are many, are all forgiven."...?... I can't preach no more.

L-81 Let's bow our heads a minute. [A brother speaks in another tongue--Ed.] You love Him? Do you love Him? What's He going to do with you, brother, at the judgment? You can be ever so religious. I'd rather hear Him say that than...?... the world. I want to stand there. I wish I would have stood there. Someday I want to stand by Him; He say, "Well... It was well done, My good and faithful servant. You were faithful. You stood at the post of duty. You didn't shirk it; you told the truth. Regardless of what it took, you told the truth. And it's well done now." That's what I'm looking for, not for a better car, better position; I want Him. Ever what anyone says about you, that don't matter.

L-82 I wonder, with our heads bowed just a minute... Organist, would you give us a little note there, please? I wonder tonight if there'd be a person here like that woman? Don't have to be... You might not be a prostitute, but you may be a prostitute on a higher more--level. Prostitution don't mean sexually every time. You can prostitute your time. You can prostitute your faith, go out and join some cult, or some old sold--cold formal church; you're a prostitute. You are. You're just as guilty as she was. But the same Lord Jesus that forgive her, has the same pleading mercy for you tonight.

L-83 Will you come here and stand at the altar with me just a minute? Someone maybe will walk down here at the altar and say...?... "I want to accept Christ as my Saviour." Would you raise your hand first? Say, "Pray for me, Brother Branham."

L-84 You mean there's not a sinner in the building? God bless you, sir. God bless you. God bless you, brother. You like Divine healing, don't you? Sure, fish, loaves and fishes. But when it comes to coming to Him, you crawl back in the shell; you want to slip off back down.
Oh, they say, "Well, I don't know about that stuff." Better be careful. I hear that ambulance siren all the time through the night. Every time you pass a graveyard, remember, your number's there. And yonder is eternity, and you're going to stand before Him someday. You can't repent then. Now is your time to do it.
Will you raise your hand, say, "God, be merciful to me. I now accept Jesus right now as my Saviour."
God bless you, boy. God bless you, brother. God bless you, sister.
Someone else raise your hand, say, "God, be merciful to me. I want Jesus today." God bless you. God bless you, son. God bless you, mother. Someone else? God bless you, up there at the balcony. Yeah, I see you, brother. God bless you. God bless you, young lady. God bless you, sir.
