<TITLE>16. Par 46-49</TITLE>L-46 Jesus said in His own Word, Saint John 5:24, "He that heareth My Words and believeth on Him that sent Me has Everlasting Life, and shall not come into the judgment, but is passed from death to Life. And no man can come to Me, accept Me, by raising hands, or whatever way it is, except My Father draws him first."
Heavenly Father, I give this audience to Thy hand, and let the Word of God sink deeply into their souls, may every sinner be saved, and backslider come back to the church and to God. Grant it, Father, or to God and then church. Grant it, Lord. May the sick be healed today. And may You send Jesus to fulfill Your Word, Your Scripture. And may He today, while this little group of sincere people are gathered together, while thousands are out amusing themselves with the pleasures of this world... Surely, Lord, Moses was sent only to Israel; the message are to believers. And I pray, heavenly Father, that You'll bless these handkerchiefs that are laying here also to the sick and needy.

L-47 Now, appear on the scene for us, Father, and declare Yourself the risen Lord. Bless this people, Father. May every one now take the Words that's been said today, though mixed up as they were, and may You just separate them and place them rightly into their heart. And may they go away from here, saying like Cleopas, and them, his friend, "Did not our hearts burn within us, as He talked to us by the way?" For in we ask it in the Name of Thy loving Child, the Lord Jesus. Amen.

L-48 To every person that raised their hand, and to those who did not raise their hand, I'm going to ask you if you'll do something for me, not for me alone, but for yourself, and for God mainly... As soon as the service is over, the prayer for the sick, will you come up around the altar here? And you're a Christian when you raised your hand, and in your heart accept Christ, you become a live person. God's Word is true. "He that heareth My Word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath (that's present tense) Eternal Life."

L-49 Now, but what you need, you need the baptism of the Holy Spirit to put you in the body of believers. You believed unto Life, but now, God baptizes you with the Holy Ghost in the church for service. Now, that may be just a little contrary, if it is, I didn't mean to say it. It's... I sometimes...?... Don't say this...?... Well, anyhow, you come to Christ. Just believe the Lord Jesus Christ with all your heart. And believe with all your soul. And the pastor where you belong now, if you don't belong to any church, look setting here behind me. If I lived in this city, and was like you around where these ministers are, they believe in this type of ministry or they wouldn't be here to represent it. They believe it. Now, you go to them, and shake hands with the pastor, and say, "Pastor, I want you to baptize me. And I want you to instruct me how I must receive the Holy Spirit. I want to become a real true baptized saint of God. I..."
And they'll instruct you; they know how to do it. And you go to them. Won't you do that for me now? And when I come back, I want to shake your hand, and say, "Oh, Brother Branham, I'm so happy, I was once burdened and out in the world, and so many things was so wrong with me, but now I'm all over it. I'm happy and free. I belong to this fine church down here, and they--and they are teaching me Divine healing, and the powers of God, and I'm just enjoying myself so much." I want you to do that, a fellow pilgrim on the road with me now to glory. We are brothers and sisters in Christ. We're not here to harm one another. We're here to help one another. We're here to go along.
