<TITLE>10. Par 93-93</TITLE>L-93 Everyone just as quiet as possible... In this most solemn holy moment how easy is it to let these things slip. The Bible said, "Lest we should let those things slip, and neglect such a great salvation..." It's so easy to forget it. We do not come to church to be seen. We do not come to hear good singing or a good sermon. We come to church to worship, to worship God.
And each one of us, our mortal beings has got a soul that's got to meet Him someday. And on the eve of this great crucifixion day, in commemoration of His going away... Tonight, if you're not a Christian, have never accepted Christ in your life as Saviour, are you convinced enough by the preaching of the Word and is the Holy Spirit standing near you to say, "You're guilty"? Now turn and start the other way. Would you declare the same by raising up your hand, saying, "Brother Branham pray for me. I now solicit your prayers that God will be merciful to me"? Would you raise your hand while we're waiting? God bless you, sir. Someone else? God bless you. God bless you, sir. God bless you, little one. God bless you. Would someone... God bless you, lady.
You say, "Brother Branham does that mean anything to raise my hand?" Just the difference between death and life. What's any greater than life? You love--you look at nature. You love it; you hate to go away from it.L-93 cont. Something in you, a--a spirit... By nature your arms was made to hang down, and when you raise your hands you defy the very laws of gravitation. It has to be supernatural. It's--it's against scientific, against all scientific things for you to break the laws of gravitation. It cannot be done unless there is something supernatural. Your arms would continually hang down. But if in your heart you believe the Gospel story and have made your decision this night, that you're through with sin, and on this beautiful approach to Calvary when tomorrow at three o'clock in commemoration we celebrate the day when Jesus died for your salvation... And you think enough of it and the Holy Spirit has come and knocked at your heart and you have now accepted it...
94b      You just... something in your heart says, "Raise your hand." That shows to the people and to God that you believe it and accept it. God bless you, all you little children: three or four of them here on the altar, little boys and girls about eighteen years old. They all put up their hands at one time. Jesus said, "Suffer little children to come unto me. Forbid them not, for such is the Kingdom." Is there another before we pray. God bless you, lady. That's a real... You might've done many things, lady, in life. That was real; I believe you to be an honest woman. And remember, you could not have put up your hand, sister dear, unless something inside you, something way down in you said do that. It may seem just a little foolish now to the carnal mind, but brother, on that day when the doctor walks away from the door and says, "It's finished." When he goes away from that wreck and pulls that little body of yours out, the blood's a-flowing away and your heart a-panting, "There is no need of fooling with them; they are gone." Oh, my. And frantically in one hour you'll try to repent, and God said, "In your calamities I can only laugh." But while you are staying in your right mind, while you... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
