<TITLE>16. Par 59-62</TITLE>L-59 That's the Holy Spirit. That's what Phoenix needs. That's what the world needs. That's what the church has got to have. Add love and joy, and peace, and then all your scruples are settled, and we're one big united Church going on to the glory of God.
Let us pray. Think it over. It's up to you. This is the Word. Will you receive It or will you turn It down? Are you guilty? Are you living in the devil's alley, trying to make yourself act like a Christian? Or is the love of God just flowing out, and the flowers are blooming forever right around God's great big holy house where the holiness of God just actually brings up these flowers.
A sweet smelling savour is around you all the time. You don't hear any criticism; you don't pay any attention to it. No matter, it's just as sweet and easy, because the Holy Spirit's in there ticking off your life.
If it's not, with every head bowed and every eye closed, would you raise your hand, not to me, but to God, and say, "God, be merciful to me and give me that type of life"? Would you do it? God bless you, you, you, you, and you, you, you, yes, over here, you. God sees every hand. He knows your desire. Up in the balconies, anywhere...
Now, remember friends, I'm only a minister. I can only speak as He tells me to speak. I try to follow Him and stay in the Word.

L-60 Now, if that Life doesn't accompany you, it... No matter, I speak in Christ's Name. You say, "Brother Branham, I've had some wonderful experiences." That doesn't do it, brother. Jesus never said, "By their experience ye shall know them," but, "By their fruits shall ye know them."
What is the fruit of the Spirit? Joy, longsuffering, meekness, love, patience, kindness, gentleness, faith. Does that accompany your life? Don't be deceived; were at the end of the road, friends? This might be the last time you get a chance to check up: better do it.

L-61 How many more here... Many of you ought to raise your hand. You know enough. God bless you, son. God bless you. Someone else? Raise your... God bless you. Just raise your hands. God will see you. God bless you, sir. God bless you, sir. God bless you, sir. God bless you. Someone else? God bless you, sis. God bless you. Someone else? God bless you, sister. God bless you, brother. Up in the balcony...
Now, you're the judge. Remember, I... God bless you, lady. Everybody in prayer. I'm going to stand at your face at the judgment bar. And you're going to give an account for what you do with this message this afternoon. Your mind, the way you're thinking now, is going to vibrate on God's radar screen at the day of judgment. If it's a thousand years from today, it'll still vibrate.
What do you think about it? Is them...?... there? Is that stuff in your life? [A message of prophecy is given--Ed.]
With the heads bowed... There's the Word of the Lord to you. The message backed up exactly what I said.

L-62 Now, would you come in confession upon the preaching of the Word, the witness of the Spirit? Now, you know your heart; I don't. You know your heart. Walk down here, right down around the altar here. Let me get you by the hand here. Let's stand here and pray and ask God to take that old selfishness out of you, them old ups-and-downs that's chafing you, and come here, and stand here and get a new spirit in your life today.
Oh, you say, "Brother Branham, I've already shouted. I've spoke with tongues." That's all right. That's good. That's fine, but I'm talking about something else.
Come down here now, get the Mainspring in your heart. That thing... God bless you, sir. That's good to walk right out to be the first one. I like that. Come right on down here now. If you are without that type of life, after... Tonight, maybe too far for you.
"Oh," you say, "I belong to church." No matter what you belong to, you come here. You ought to belong to Christ. If you're guilty, come. That's right.
