<TITLE>12. Par 44-47</TITLE>L-44 Not long ago, evangelist passed through the country, the middle east (fifty years ago) called Daniel Curry. He had a dream one night that he died and he went up to heaven. And when he was there in the Presence of God at the gate, he said that there was a--a man came out at the gate, and he said, "Who are you?"
And he said, "I am Daniel Curry; I'm an evangelist; I've come to possess my heavenly possessions."
Said, "Just a moment, Mr. Curry." The gatekeeper read, and went in, said, "Mr. Curry, I'm sorry, your name is not on my books."
"Oh," he said, "you must be mistaken."
Said, "I'll look again." Said, "No, Mr. Curry, your name's not here."
"Oh," he said, "I won thousands of souls for Christ. I stood for Christ for years. Surely, surely my name's there."
He said, "I'm sorry, sir, but you'll have to depart from the gate." He said, "Unless you want to appeal your case. If you want to appeal your case to the great white throne, you may do it."
"Well," he said, "I have no other choice."
So he said, "All right, you can appeal before the white throne. That's the law."

L-45 And said he seemed like he was going for hours, just through space, he said in his dream. And after awhile he got lighter and lighter; he got slower and slower, until finally he stopped right in the midst of this big Light. "It was coming, not from any certain spot; it was just all Light," said, "shining thousand of times brighter than the sun."
And when he stopped, he heard a Voice speak from this Light and said, "Daniel Curry, when you were in the earth, did you break My laws? Did you ever tell a lie?"
He said, "I thought I'd been an honest man," but said, "in the Presence of that Light, I seen a many thing I told that wasn't right."
And brother, sister, that'll be the same thing to you. You may seem all right here, but in the Presence of that Light...
He said, "Daniel Curry, did you ever steal?"
He said, "I thought surely I was--never stoled." He said, "Just getting ready to say, 'No, Lord.'" And said, "When I started to say it, before me come many little shady deals. In the Presence of that Light, it wasn't right."

L-46 You may be able to...?... over your conscience now, but in the Presence of God's great white throne yonder, oh, mercy brother. I'm satisfied that none of us has even the faintest idea how pure and holy it'll be.
And he said, "No, Lord, I--I... Yes, I've told lies."
And He said, "Daniel Curry, to come into My place, a man has to be perfect. In your lifetime, Daniel Curry, was you perfect?"
He said, "No, Lord, I wasn't perfect."
And said he was just waiting for that great blast to say, "Depart from Me you--and..." And when, he was just getting ready to hear that, said seem like every bone went out of joint, and he couldn't stand any longer.
Then said, "He heard the sweetest voice that he had ever heard in all of his life. It was sweeter than any mother's voice that ever called a child." And said, "When he turned he saw that sweetest face he ever saw; there was no face of a mother could express such love." And said, "It was the Lord Jesus, and He come and put His arms around me, and He said, 'Father, in--that's true, Daniel Curry wasn't perfect in the earth. Daniel Curry did many mistakes and things that was wrong," but He said, "Father, on earth Daniel Curry stood for Me. Now, here in heaven, I'm going to stand for Daniel Curry. Take all that's against him and put it on My charge yonder.'"

L-47 Brother, sister, that's the Voice that I want to hear. I want to stand for Jesus tonight, that on that day I know I'm imperfect, but I want Him to say, "Father, William Branham stood for me on earth; I will stand for him here in heaven."
While we think of it then, and bow our head, I'm going to ask you to think it seriously: Who will stand for you that day, will your pastor, will your priest, will your mother, will your friend? There can be none other stand for you, but Jesus. Won't you stand for Him tonight, while we think it over.
