<TITLE>17. Par 57-60</TITLE>L-57 With your heads bowed, I want to ask you something. Have you been aiming your sights the wrong way, children? Have you been wasting your living, the wrong things? You know good and well you got to die one of these days. You're going to be hauled up here in the graveyard, Jesus tarries. They may seine you out of the river, pick up your pieces of your body on the highway somewhere. Maybe those great atomic bombs, there may not even be a dust left of you. But you got a soul that's got to answer in the Presence of God. What will you give then for your soul? You got an opportunity tonight, and the Holy Spirit is here to display His love to you, to come from glory to speak to your heart.

L-58 Now, I wonder why... We don't have room here to make an altar call. But I wonder tonight if someone would say, "Brother Branham, by this..." Or not Brother Branham, let's leave me out of the picture. Say, "God, I know I've done wrong; I--I know I've sinned. I--I--I've--I've shunned You. I've kept quiet when I've ought to have spoke. I've spoke when I've ought to been quiet. I've neglected to pray, I--although I go to church." Or maybe you don't go to church, but you know you're wrong, and the love of God has never taken the sin away from your heart, you just been a actor... And that word "Pharisee" means "actor." And I wonder if you'd like for God to remember you tonight as a sinner, and would you like to confess your sins and say, "God, by--by Your grace tonight I hear Your voice, that call, that little something that's beyond a mother's call, of something calling in my soul, and I now raise my hand to You, and just ask You to be merciful to me." Let's see you raise your hand to God.

L-59 Now, no one look; just let God and I to do the looking. God bless you, son. God bless you, lady. God bless you. God bless you, son. God bless you, son. God bless you back there, sister. God bless you, brother. God bless you, sister. That's right, be honest.
"God, be merciful to me; here's my hand. Lord, I hear Your call. It's some faint little call down in my heart, saying, 'Child of Mine, you might've wandered far away, but tonight I want you to come back.'" Will you raise your hand? Someone else now, who hasn't raised their hand? Some ten, fifteen's raised their hand. Is there some more just before we pray, say, "Brother Branham, remember me in prayer now as I raise my hand." God bless you, honey. God bless you, sir. God bless you, lady. God bless you, son. God bless you. Someone... God bless you, sir. God bless you, you, and you, lady. That's right, that's right. All right. God bless you, sir. God bless you. God bless you, sir. I see your hand, yes. All right. Just waiting a moment. You see?

L-60 The Bible said that... "Brother Branham, what do I have to do to be saved?"
Well, we're always telling people what not to do; but the thing of it is, let's tell them what to do. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ." Now, think, while you're praying, Saint John 5:24, Jesus speaking. Think of a handful and two dozen eggs. Saint John 5:24, Jesus said these words, "He that heareth My words (you have tonight), and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath (present tense) Everlasting Life, and shall never come into the judgment; but has passed from death unto Life." That's what you have to do. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ with all your heart.
You've lifted your hand, saying, "Lord, I now, I believe. I now believe." Is there another one, just before prayer? God bless you. Yes, lady. One that hasn't raised their hands again, would you raise your hand? All right, let's pray.
