<TITLE>03. Par 8-11</TITLE>L-8 Brother Goad, I glad to see you tonight, I just seen Henry last night. I guess he isn't here. I don't know anybody around here hardly, but the Groat, and I see Mrs. Stadsklev setting right here too, from over at Minneapolis there. Brother Julius, her husband is one of my bosom friends, that wrote the book "Prophet Visits Africa." And he's a chaplain up somewhere in Greenland, or somewhere up there now.
Brother Groat is Brother Henry's father. I have a little something on Brother Groat, I--I won't tell it tonight though. So, something that he done at Jeffersonville, but I'll tell you; we... I was real sick. And he and his boy, his daughter-in-law and them, was there staying with me, and lovely friends they were.
And he went out one day and we went to the cornfield to pray, you remember that, Brother Groat? I never will forget; he put his arm around me and said, "Now, papa God," said, "you help Brother Branham." "Papa God..." So well, He did Brother Groat, and here we are. Amen. He is our Papa and our Mama too, isn't He. We love Him with all of our hearts...?...

L-9 So now, tonight we just going to read some of the Scripture here. And a text I want tonight is this, for just a little while of talking, 'cause we want to get out early so you can go to Sunday school tomorrow. And I'm sure you have a welcome here if you don't have a Sunday school.
And tomorrow night we'll also--being that we started it, we'll just have a healing service again tomorrow night, if the Lord willing. And so the one's maybe that don't get in to be prayed for tonight, will be also tomorrow night.
Now, my text is the--is the theme text of my campaign: Hebrews 13:8: Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.
And for a context for this, I want to read some Scripture out of Jude, that I many often times have read it, for a context; so that you would see and know what we are trying to strive for.

L-10 Now, I... Perhaps setting here, there's... If I'd say, how many Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Catholic, Pentecostal, Church of God, whatevermore; they probably in here from many different denominations. But I want you to feel real at home now, no matter what denomination you belong to. And I don't think God would turn around for the difference in denomination. It would just be His children that's in those denominations. And--and every one of us love our churches, and we... I love every one of your churches.
Here some time ago, long years ago, I was in Little Rock one time, and I had a service there. And there was lots of people on the meeting, so they just blocked the streetcars and everything else in Little Rock.

L-11 There was an old fellow there was a Nazarene; he was on crutches. And the Lord healed him that night. And the next day he had a great big sign hanging on the back of his crutches, going down the street screaming to the top of his voice, "Hey [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...?... need it, you know. He was having him a time.
So the next night--he was just so elated and so filled with God's goodness and happiness about his healing. I was preaching away, and he raised right up in the service; he said, "Just a moment, Brother Branham."
I said, "All right, brother."
And he said, "I--I want to ask you a question."
I said, "All right."
He said, "Now, when I come here a couple nights ago," said, "I--I heard you preaching, and" said, "I sure thought you was a Nazarene." That's what he was (See?), a Nazarene. And he said, "And now, I notice pretty near most of your crowd is Pentecostal; and somebody told me you were Pentecostal." And said, "Then I heard you say at the platform that was you was carrying fellowship cards in the Baptist church." Said, "I--I--I just don't get that."
"Oh," I said, "That's easy." I said, "I'm a Pentecostal, Nazarene, Baptist." So that... I--I'm still the same tonight. Ha, ha, ha, ha.
