<TITLE>16. Par 58-61</TITLE>L-58 Why have you come here tonight to be prayed for? Where is your soul standing with God, is my question? Let us bow our heads just a moment. I spoke at length, I don't know why. You're so lovely. And I know someday after tomorrow, perhaps we'll have to be separated for miles apart.
While we are setting with our heads bowed, I wonder as I ask you, if "God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but would have Eternal Life," I wonder, have you appreciated that in such a measure that you have accepted His gift to you of Eternal Life?
Now, be honest, every head bowed, every eye closed. Have you been strangely thinking of something? "Oh, I've just been a church member; I've never received His love to me, to make my life what it should be. I would like to have it. I want God to come to me tonight, and fill me with His Spirit, and forgive me of my sins." Would you just raise your hand to God, while every head's bowed? I will. God bless you. God bless you, lady. God bless you, you, you, sir, and you, you. Oh, my! God bless you, you, lady, you, you, and you, brother, and you, and you, brother, and you, sister, you, brother, you.

L-59 Oh, they're all over the building. God bless you, my brother. God bless you, my sister, there. Up in the balconies now, how many up there would say, "Brother Branham, I'm going to be honest with God. Something has spoke to my heart since I've been setting here. Really, I'm not all I could be."
God bless you, brother. "I now raise my hand..." God bless you, lady. God bless you, lady. God bless you, sonny. Oh, my! God bless you, little girl. God bless you, lady. God bless you. God bless you up there. I... God bless you, my brother. God bless you, my brother.

L-60 "Somehow, Brother Branham, way in my heart..." God bless you, sister. "I been feeling very strangely warmed, but there's something that has been lacking in me. I want God to fill it right now with His love." God bless you, sister. God bless you. God bless you, and you, and you, and you. Oh, my! Just everywhere.
"I want God just now in His mercy, for I'm in love with Him. I want Him to give me such Divine love, that sovereign grace will send back the baptism of the Holy Spirit upon me to make me a different person."
How many here that's already accepted Christ that's never been filled with the Holy Spirit, and you want to love God so much that He will fill you with the Holy Spirit, would you raise your hand? Oh, all over the building, everywhere, where at least two hundred or a hundred and fifty more sinners has raised their hand, some two or three hundred or more people seeking the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

L-61 If God so thought of a poor old mother opossum, how much more does He love you? "God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son..." You say, "Brother Branham, what would it mean if I raised my hand?" It's the difference between life and death for you. "Oh, it's just a little thing." I know. So is John 3:16. But it's the difference between life and death. That's what it means.
Jesus said in Saint John 5:24, "He that heareth My words and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath Everlasting Life, and shall not come into the judgment, but pass from death to Life."
Would there be another one that's outside of Christ, that never raised your hand, would raise it now and say, "Remember me. God here I am. Here I am." Up in the balcony? God bless you. God bless you, sir, you. That's good. One... Would there be another, surely somewhere, outside of Christ? God bless you, sir. God sees your hand. God bless you, little lady.
Oh, it's a real thing to recognize that the living God is present now, to do for you those things which you could not do yourself. God bless you, sir. That means the difference between life and death to you.
