<TITLE>17. Par 78-82</TITLE>L-78 Let's ask God tonight in Christ's Name to fill our hearts anew and send us away from here with a new vision, with a new determination to being led by the Holy Ghost, cased in, and a wall on the outside separating us from the things of the world to be new creatures in Christ Jesus.
Let us bow our heads a moment now for prayer. While we have our heads bowed, and the pianist is getting to the piano, I wonder if there's a sinner man or woman here tonight, that doesn't know Christ as Saviour, would you in Christ's Name raise up your hand to Him and say, "Christ, I'm a sinner"?
God bless you, lady. God bless you, my friend. Someone else? Raise up your hand and say, "I'm a sinner, and I don't know Christ in the pardoning of sin, I want you to remember me in a word of prayer, Brother Branham, just as you close, 'cause I know I want that kind of life."

L-79 Is there some here without the Holy Spirit that would say, "O God, if... I know I've let the world creep into me, and I know when the--what--where the world creeps in, the Holy Spirit took Its flight."
As I preached the other night, the dove and the lamb, is the only two creatures that could dwell together. The dove couldn't dwell with the wolf, neither could the lamb.
So if you are a lamb, the dove will be with you. But if your--if your soul hasn't been shaped up, and your desires, and you measure your life to meet the requirements of to be meek, and humble, and lowly, and be led by the Holy Spirit, would you raise your hand and say, "Brother Branham, remember me, and, God, this is my hand. I want You to give me the Holy Ghost." God bless you, you, you, you. Many of you.

L-80 All right. Now, little lady, you setting there... Every head bowed now and every eye closed. A little lady setting here, my attention is drawed to her. I don't know why. I'm led by the Holy Spirit. I turned to her. She raised her hand as a sinner. She wanted to be remembered in prayer.
I was called just a few moments ago, wanting me to fly in the morning to a little girl about twenty years old, cancer started in her hips and she's dying. So there, poor little girl, I hope... I just wonder if she's saved. Oh, my, if she isn't and have to meet God in that condition...
And now friend, one of these days we all have to meet God. And sister dear, would you just now surrender your life to Him? And Something called you to do that, and you couldn't do it in yourself, 'cause Jesus said you couldn't. Said, "No man can come except My Father draws him, and all that comes, I'll give them Everlasting Life."

L-81 I want you to be real sincere and pray, and because you've had a desire in your heart, if God hadn't created that desire to give you the salvation in your soul... And the rest of you that had your hands up for the baptism of the Holy Ghost, God had to do that.
I'm going to pray now in the prayer, and ask God, and use all faith that I know how to use that God will fulfill your desire tonight, and bring you up around the old fashion prayer bench here that's but a dust floor, old railings, but, brother, there is stains of tears on it now. I was saved by one of them at an altar where a sinner repented and looked down.

L-82 And I said it last night, see the Holy Spirit come on the platform here, see Him stand and do the exceedingly, abundantly. See Him move down there and work in the people, as a boys was telling me today the things that He did...
If He, the God of heaven, will humble Himself to come to this tent, and stand on this platform, now just surely as a penitent sinner, it's good enough for you, it's good enough for me.
Now, heavenly Father, the Word cuts like a two-edged sword. It goes out; It finds Its way, and cuts away the--the flesh of the heart, cuts away all the stony parts, takes all the evil out, and places the gentle Holy Spirit inside the heart, making a door opening up so that the sinner, penitent, can unload all the things of the world.
