<TITLE>18. Par 61-64</TITLE>L-61 Our heavenly Father, so glad tonight to know that we're children of the heavenly King. It does not yet appear what we shall be in the end, but we know we'll have a body like His glorious body for we shall see Him as He is, free from sickness, free from sin, free from worry, free from toils, set down at His feet, home again, mama and papa, everybody around.
Dear God, I pray tonight that You'll save the lost. Maybe some good Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterian's backslid, Pentecostal, Pilgrim Holiness, someone here who's got away from God. O Father, we pray tonight You'll bring them back home. That poor lost son and daughter of God here, that's never yet accepted You, You knocked at their door. You're not willing that any should perish, but that all might come to repentance; and You have called and called, and they won't answer. May tonight, may they give that one, "Yes, Lord, now I come. I believe. Upon the Word of the Lord, I accept Christ as my Saviour."

L-62 While we have our heads bowed and everybody in prayer, I wonder down here on the bottom floor, if there'd be someone would raise your hand and by this say, "Brother Branham, I just want God to see my hand, that I know that I'm wrong, and I want to be right with God." We have no way of making an altar call to bring you up around to pray, but I'd just like if... While everybody's praying, every eye closed, if...
And Christians, especially, pray at this moment. Would you just raise your hands, sinner friend, say, "God be merciful to me?" Would you do it, anyone? God bless you, sir. God bless you, lady. God bless you, sir. God bless you. That's good. You might've done a lot of great things in your life, but that's the greatest thing you've done.

L-63 Up in the balcony, on the side rows here, in the box seats, is there anyone that would raise your hand? God bless you up there, sir. I see you. Someone else? I... Just to Christ now, you're not putting your hand up to me. It's to Christ. God knows your heart. He's speaking to you, and if He's speaking, then raise your hand, say, "Yes, Lord. I've been wrong. I--I was chose to be Abraham's seed. You called me, called me now. I never have accepted You yet, but now I'm going to do it right now. I'm going to raise up my hand, say, 'God, be merciful to me a sinner.' And from this night, henceforth, I'm going to try my best, God, by Your help to live a different life from tonight on." Would one more put up their hand anywhere that has not put their hand yet?
See, you say, "Brother Branham, what does that mean, they put up their hand?"
Jesus said these words solemnly. Let me repeat it to you: first, "No man can come to Me except My Father draws him, and all that My Father has given Me will come to Me."

L-64 What if you were predestinated or predestined by foreknowledge to never receive Christ? You know that's so. The Bible said. "That men of old was foreordained to this condemnation to turn the grace of God into lasciviousness," Jude the 4th verse.
Yes, what if that was you that God never did speak to your heart? What if that was you, sinner, and when you go out of this church tonight walking down the street yonder, and drop over dead? What if they call the doctor, and he comes and says, "Well, there's nothing to do, mother, or dad, or whoever it is. They're gone."
God bless you, sir. That's... I'm not frightening you. I'm only stating facts. I don't know that you're going--you're going to do that sometime. So He may never... "My Spirit will not always strive with men." So why not just now lift your hand? Say, "Will He save me if I do that?" He promised to.
