<TITLE>01. Par 1-6</TITLE>56-0723, Led By The Spirit Of God, Life Tabernacle, Shreveport, LA, 74 min
L-1 Shall we pray. Our heavenly Father, we thank Thee tonight of the goodness of the Lord Jesus. For all that He has done for us and for the mercies that He's shed forth to us, the unworthy ones, but by the redeeming grace He's brought us now unto Himself.
And we thank Thee for it. We thank Thee for Thy healing power. We thank Thee for salvation, for all the good things that You've done for us.
Now, speak to us tonight in Thy Word and we'll give Thee praise in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-2 So glad to be here again tonight in this service, trusting that the Lord has blessed you exceedingly, abundantly today. And one thing you're used to this weather. I'm not. It's just about kill me.
Leo, one of my recording boys, sick all day, vomiting, and Gene's the same way, Billy the same way, me the same way. So this weather, I--I believe I'd have to come down and stay sometime in the summertime to--or wintertime to get used to it for summer.
But I imagine if you come up to my house when it's about twenty-eight below zero, you'd pretty near want to stay in the house. That's when we all want to go rabbit hunting, about--about twenty-eight below zero.

L-3 It's just what part of the country we get accustomed to, and sometimes the different parts... Sister Moore, I believe, was telling me today that David was in the army camp over somewhere in Texas, and him being used to this weather here, he said he got so sick last year he couldn't even drive his car home hardly, the weather being so hot.
And now, it may seem like it's awful nice and cool to you all, but it's sure burning me up. Well, there's one thing: It's a good time to preach repentance, isn't it, when you got weather coming like that? Yes, sir.

L-4 So we're happy tonight to know that we're on the grounds of the forgiveness of our sins, and on the grounds of eternal salvation, looking for the coming of the Lord Jesus.
So happy to know that someday He will be here, and all the troubles will be over. Just seeing Chicago, after even all their Salk vaccines and everything, the cases of polio is on the rage, till my, my, worse than it ever was.
And seems like about time one thing gets started common, why, another thing starts up. And they give some sort of medicine for something, then looks like it'll take care of that, and in a few years here turns up and gives a great thing that nearly kills the patient then.
So only thing we can hold for is the coming of the Lord. That's when all troubles will be over.

L-5 Say, looking back over my shoulder at Sister Anna Jean, I felt so sorry for her last night. I--I went home with a frog in my throat like. She was playing the piano and letting down a little bit, and Don standing back. He left, I think, today didn't he, Sister Anna Jean, for overseas and down South America and so forth.
And I know how she feels. I just imagine I know from my wife. The phone will ring, you know, and when I'm home, why, she'll... I'll answer the phone and say, "Is Brother Branham there?"
And I'll... "Yes."
And I'll get a hold of the phone and somebody will say, "Well, Brother Branham, will you come just for two nights?"

L-6 And I say, "I'd like to, brother, but I..." I just see her setting there just wondering what I'm going to say. So I know how you feel Anna Jean, but there's one good thing... I believe the little Palmer girl here, her husband left also yesterday for somewhere, way away.
So bless these young women. And just remember this, Jesus said that He will--will not forsake his father, his mother, wife, mother, children, and whatever it is, and cleave to Me is not worthy of--to be My disciples. That's right.
So Peter said, "We have forsaken all, our wives, our children, our homes to follow Thee. What shall we receive in the Kingdom?"
