<TITLE>12. Par 38-40</TITLE>L-38 And all at once he said he felt hisself leaving, and he went through space for a long time. After while he came into something where it was light. It kept getting lighter and lighter, till all of a sudden he came to a stop. There was no certain object the light was coming from but he was in the Presence of a great Light that shined a million times brighter than the sun. He said there he stood trembling, and he heard a voice that said, "Daniel Curry, in your lifetime did you ever tell a lie?"
And he said, "I thought I'd been an honest man, but there'd been many things I recognized in the Presence of that Light that I had told that was shady."
He said, "No. I am sorry, but I have told lies."
Said, "Daniel Curry, did you ever steal when you were on earth?"
He said, "I thought I always was honest about my deals," but said, "in the Presence of that great Light I realized I had done some things that was shady."
I just wonder, friends, what we'll feel like when we stand in the Presence of that Light. There'll be a lot of things that you think is all right now, but it won't be all right there. That's true. You may be ever such a good man or woman, but when you stand in that Presence...

L-39 And then He said, "Daniel Curry, was you perfect on earth?"
He said, "O Lord, no. I wasn't perfect. Lord, I am so sorry. I wasn't perfect on earth." And said, "Listened any moment for the great eternal, everlasting blast to come from that Presence and saying, 'Depart from me into everlasting fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels.'"
Said, "Standing in that state with ever bone in me out of joint and trembling," he said, "I heard the sweetest voice that I ever heard in my life, sweeter than any mother's voice I ever heard and," said, "when I turned to look, I saw the sweetest face that I ever saw. It was sweeter than any mother's face that I'd ever saw." He said, "And this one said, 'Father, put all of Daniel Curry's account over on Mine.' Said, 'For while Daniel Curry was on earth he stood for Me, and now in heaven I'll stand for Daniel Curry.'"
God, That's what I want Him to do. His grace I plead; His mercies I need. Oh, what can I do, but I want to stand for Him now, that on that great day... And I want to be His witness now that on that great day, He will stand in my stead and say, "Father, put all of William Branham's sins upon My account, for he stood for Me on earth." And I'm sure you want the same thing.

L-40 Shall we bow our heads just a moment. And while the piano is playing softly, I want to ask this question. Would you like to be His witness? Would you like to hear Him say, "Take all the sins of this person and place them upon My account, for down on earth in Chicago one night, they took a stand for Me; and now I will stand for them." Would you like to do that, sinner friend, or backslider?
If you would like to show to God while ever head is bowed and ever one in prayer... Would you like to say to God tonight, "This night I'll take my stand, God. For You I'll testify of Your goodness if You'll just save me now. I'll raise my hand." Or, "Heal my backsliding. I'll raise my hand and say, 'I'll be a witness for you wherever I go, until I meet You in glory. And I want You to stand for me then.' Well, I'll put up my hand now as a witness. I want You to stand for me, Lord." Will you do it?
