L-1 May be seated if will just in a moment. Good evening, friends. I'm happy to be here tonight to greet you again in the Name of our lovely, risen Lord, Who is in the glory of His resurrection, and He's present tonight to bless us. So happy to be here and to have this privilege.
My son just said a few moments ago, while standing in the room, while we were waiting to come in, when they started singing, "Only Believe," he looked around at me and I was praying. I looked up, and he said, "Daddy, how many times has that called you to the platform?" Thousands across the world in all different kinds of languages.
I heard the natives of Africa with about sixteen different vocabularies calling it, all singing, "Only Believe," at once. And had the treat, keep them fenced off on account of tribal-- tribal wars. And yet they all sang together "Only Believe." And what a wonderful...
I said, "Yes, some glorious day, if I go before Jesus comes, and when they're putting me down in the ground, they're going to sing, 'Only Believe.'" If you see it in the newspaper or something another, hear it on the radio or whatever, somebody tells you, stop just a minute and think of that song, "Only Believe."
'Cause I believe that someday I'll come out of there just as sure as--as I go in.

L-2 Someone said, not long ago, said to me, said, "Brother Branham, I would like to talk to you about an insurance policy." Now, insurance is fine. I have nothing against it, but I don't carry any of this kind of insurance.
And so the agent seemed to think that I'm a little off about it. But, maybe I am, but I was mistreated, my father was one time by an insurance company. He was sold a twenty year endowment was supposed to pay off so much at a certain time. When it come time, it supposed to be worth five hundred dollars and he misread it. It was a dollar and fifty cents total.
And I just never taken any insurance. So then, seen how my old dad had to work for that and then be like that...?... my brother and I. And I--and I said... A friend of mine said, "Why, Billy, I just want to sell you some insurance."
I said, "Oh, Wilmer, I don't want it." I said, "I've got insurance."
"Oh," he said, "you have?"
I said, "Yeah, I got insurance."
And a--he said a... My wife looked down at me as if to think, "Are you storying?"
And I said, "No, I have insurance."
He said, "What insurance do you have, Billy?"
I said, "Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine."
And so, he said, "Well, that's all right, Billy, but that won't put you in a graveyard."
I said, "It'll take me out. That's the thing I want...?... I'm not worried about getting in there, it's getting out...?... So I'd rather have one that'll take in there instead--or take me out of there instead of one to put me in there.
The blessed assurance of Jesus is mine!
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
A heir of salvation, purchased of God,
Borned of His Spirit and washed in His Blood.
