<TITLE>19. Par 61-62</TITLE>L-61 When all the Spirit of God that worked through Joseph, through Abraham, through Isaac, through Jacob, Joseph, Elijah, Moses, all the prophets, and then finally wound up in the full Godhead bodily in the Lord Jesus, and He projects It out tonight and lets His Spirit stand at your heart's door. [Brother Branham knocks--Ed.] "And Lord, as You're passing by my way, I want to lay out a welcome mat at my little door. And I want to enlighten my thoughts with the perfume of the Lily of the Valley. I want You to come in and make Your stay with me. Abide with me, Lord, for someday I'm going to be physically gone, and only You and Your embrace can call me back to a Life again. And I now accept You in Your program, and, by God's grace, I love You and stay with You, and serve You as long as I live."
Is there somebody that did not raise up their hands a few moments ago, out of about two dozen? Would you raise your hands and say, "I just now feel like I ought to do it, Brother Branham. Raise my hands to Christ and say by this, 'Christ, I mean that I will serve You.'" Anywhere in the balconies, around or anywhere? Are any hands that did not go up awhile ago? God bless you, lady. God bless you, lady. God bless you over there, lady. God bless you back there, lady...?... God bless you, my brother. God bless you back there, young man. I see your hand; surely God does. Up in the balcony, God bless you.
Someone else would say, "By this, my hand's up." God bless you, young man. I see you and certainly God does, the all-seeing eye. God bless this colored brother setting there. God bless you, my friend. God bless you back there also, colored sister setting back there. And the elderly man, colored man, gray hair with his hands up, "I want to receive Jesus," God bless you. God bless this lady here with both hands up, heart open. God bless this lady setting here with her hand up.

L-62 Not long ago... While you are praying now, your heads bowed. Was cold in my room that morning. I couldn't get the fire to burn. Sister Cadle come on the air singing, "I want to see Jesus, don't you? My Saviour so faithful and true. When I've reached that land on the far away strand, I want to see Jesus, don't you."
Our heavenly Father, that's the desire of every heart, tonight, here. Oh, look at them, Lord. Maybe fifteen, twenty-five people raised their hands. They want to receive you just now.
O great Spirit, that started out back in the early age and lived in the--the men, Who lived in the hearts of Your prophets... And down through the age You come and vindicated Yourself. How we can see David climbing that mountain and looking back over Jerusalem, rejected by his own. And he wept as he went up the mount. And just a few hundred years after that we see the Son of David rejected, setting on that same mountain saying, "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, how oft would I have hovered you as a hen would her chicks, but you would not. If you'd have only knowed your day of visitation..."
And dear Father, tonight in my heart, I feel the Holy Spirit crying out, "Oh, America, America, how oft would the Holy Spirit have give you a real out pouring of a revival. How He would have gathered you and held you in safety. But I believe you didn't understand the day of your visitation. You scorned the prophets. You've called them fanatics. You've put them in jail. You... Oh, how oft would He have took you."
