<TITLE>17. Par 64-67</TITLE>L-64 Now, our heavenly Father, the little church this morning stands, we know picked, shot at. The enemy has oppressed her, shooting its arrows. And we pray for their sinful souls, Lord. They don't know that they're blinded by the god of this world. The church, generally, all over the world today, the enemy, the religious people has shot at them with every arrow. But in spite of all of it, the great revival moves on.
Thousands of humble, poor neglected children has stumbled into these places and seen Your miraculous hand, has been filled with the Holy Spirit, and they're no longer of this world; they're pilgrims and strangers. They care not for the world, but they're seeking a city to come whose Builder and Maker is God. They've seen Your healing power to heal the sick. Your signs and wonders will be wrought amongst Your people. Great things break loose in the spite of the places where they condemn it and try to hold it down. Your servants move right in and set up a revival, and they sweep the humble into the Kingdom of God.

L-65 In our midst this morning, we're privileged to have these missionaries who are leaving into the other lands, one leaving into Israel. Oh, God, there it is. Pour out Your Spirit with him, Lord. And may great things be accomplished and cause those poor wandering Jews to come back. May they receive the Holy Ghost as their fathers did at the beginning.
Here's a brother going out into Cuba, out into the islands. You said, "Unto the utmost parts of the earth." Something pulling, tugging at these brethren's heart. Leaving their homes, their loved ones, not caring for the pleasures and good times of this world, but going out in the barren lands yonder under the opposer trying to stop the work. But just like the ox who brought the cart back with the commandments on it and the ark of the covenant, they left their little ones a bawling and they went down the road lowing, singing, going down to the rock.

L-66 We thank Thee for every minister we see setting back in our congregation. Brother John, this morning, also, out of Germany, how he's been raised up poor; pulled a little wagon across the nation, preaching the Gospel. Thank You for him. And these young man and other ministers who are setting close and all the laity... When I ask, Father, believing that under a time like this, that if a man or woman did not have Christ in their heart, they'd have raised their hand, surely, seeing all the proof of the Gospel that You're the same and Your Church is the same.
I thank You for everyone. I pray that You'll bless them and heal their bodies if they're sick, and grant unto them the desires of their heart. Grant this, Father, we ask in Jesus' Name.

L-67 And with our heads bowed, let's just meditate a few moments. Just be in prayer, softly. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
The first one to die for this Holy Ghost plan,
Was John the Baptist, but he died like a man;
Then, came the Lord Jesus, they crucified Him,
He preached that the Spirit would save men from sin.
Then they stoned Stephen, he preached against sin.
They... so angry, they dashed his head in;
But he died in the Spirit, He gave up the Ghost,
And went to join the others that life-giving host.
There was Peter and Paul, and John the Divine,
They gave up their lives so this gospel could shine;
They mingled their blood like the prophets of old,
(That still seed persecuted)
So the true Word of God could honest be told.
There was souls under the altar crying, "How long?"
For the Lord to punish those who've done wrong;
But there's going to be more who will give their life's blood
For this Holy Ghost gospel and Its crimson flood.
Keeps dripping with blood, yes, it's dripping with blood.
This Holy Ghost gospel, It's dripping with blood,
The blood of disciples who died for the Truth,
This Holy Ghost gospel is dripping with blood.
[Brother Branham hums--Ed.]
