<TITLE>10. Par 28-30</TITLE>L-28 So then, I didn't know what to tell him. I said, "Brother Krause, I don't understand it." And I said, "I'm afraid to ask again." So we went ahead, and I prayed for him, laid hands on him, went away.
And he said, "You know, I feel better; I ain't got a pain right now." Went away for about, for about three or four weeks. He was all right. All at once, one night it begin to come again.
Now, he said, "Lord Jesus, I love You. And I've been to both Brother Roberts and Brother Branham, and what am I going to do?" He said, "Now, I'm... Don't want to go to any doctor. I don't want to go. But I... What shall I do?"
And so then, finally he was drove to a doctor. And when He went to the doctor, they sent him to Mayo's. Mayo's looked him over and said, "Well, friend, you got about one chance out of one thousand of ever living over another month." Said, "Your operation might be, if we would remove the stone, but it's set in something." And said, "If we remove that, it might kill you on the operation." He said, "You're just near death. And you got one chance out of a thousand of ever pulling through it."
"Well," he said, "let me think it over."

L-29 And he loves the Lord, anybody that knows Brother Krause; he's a real Christian. He said, "Dear God, You know I love You. I've done everything I know to do, but then, now, if it's my time to come Home to You, I'm ready to come. But I love You, and my last words to You is: 'I love You.' And You know my heart that I love You."
And he went on to the operation, and the doctor kind of hesitated a little bit to do it. But after the operation was performed, he woke up, and he said, "The whole entire room was lit up by the Glory of God." And the doctors couldn't even understand how quickly and what happened.
When love has been projected and come to its end, sovereign grace stepped in and took its place. It'll do it every time. That's God's nature. He can't do nothing else for anybody. But when you really, truly, love Him... Loving Him is not just a mythical thought, but I mean in your heart He becomes dear to you.

L-30 Now, just like you put trust in Him. You believe Him just like you do your wife. When I leave home, I don't have to say, "Come in here, Mrs. Branham; we're going to have a little talk now. I'm fixing to leave. Don't you have any other husbands while I'm gone. Don't you do this, that, or the other."
And she said, "Now, my dear man, that's very good. But I want to tell you. Don't you have any more wives while you're gone And you better be true to me." We never think of that. Why? We love one another. I never even think about it.
I just go in and I say, "Good bye, sweetheart. Pray for me."
Said, "I'll be on my knees every night praying for you, Billy. God be with you." That settles it till I get back. She don't worry about me. She knows I love her. And as long as I love her like that, she'll never have to worry. If I thought I could do something and get by with it, and I tell her about it, and she'd forgive me for it, I wouldn't do it anyhow. I love her too much to do it. I'd look at her and think, "That poor little old girl, thirty-five years old, and completely gray-headed, and stood between me and the public, the mother of my three children... There's something in my heart wouldn't let me do it."
When I look at my Lord and see He died yonder on Calvary, the Lovely for me the unlovely, He, the Pure for me the impure to save me from a death of sin, and an eternity in hell, something in me... If I could get by with it, I don't want to do it. I love Him. Yes, sir. I love Him. Even I thought if I'd go do it, and He'd forgive me for it, I don't want to do it anyhow. I don't want to do nothing to hurt Him. I love Him too much. That's what we have to have. It's something in your heart: Love.
"Oh," say, "it don't condemn me to smoke. I--I drink a little. I..." Well, brother, you don't love Him. Something's happened. If you really love Him...
