<TITLE>17. Par 66-69</TITLE>L-66 Leaving off into another ministry, I pray that You'll grant this once more tonight. Grant it, Lord, because of Jesus Christ and because of His Word. Grant it, Lord, because we're in this great shrine here, where thousands of souls have been saved.
Your servant E. Howard Cadle, Gypsy Smith, B. E. Rediger, many other great men who stood here looking for this day... And parting has leave behind them footprints on the sands of time. I pray, God, for the sake of this church that's living today to see this hour. Blessed are their eyes who can see. Blessed is the ears that can hear, to live in this great day, to see the things that our forefathers has told us would come to pass before the coming of the righteous One, the Lord Jesus in a corporal body. That His Spirit would be poured out, His church would be drawed together.
Oh, Father God, speak tonight in a tremendous way and make Thyself known to this people. As we as mortals unworthy, but as we submit ourselves to Thee, may the great Holy Spirit, that lived in Jesus Christ, live in this body of people tonight anew. And may every doubt, and every fear, and every superstition, and every ism be broken, Lord, and men will see and will serve Christ and be ready for His coming. For it's in this--this Spirit that we come. It's in this Spirit that we ask. It's by the Spirit of God that we ask it for the glory of God, in the Name of the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Amen.

L-67 Now, if you'll be just as reverent as you can, keep your minds on Christ, watch this a way. Now, looky here, friends. I feel; I don't know, this may--this just is my feeling, not THUS SAITH THE LORD. This is William Branham. I feel that my ministry is closing in America (See?), about finished. I want you to remember this, that Christ has raised from the dead, that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. This is your hour. You remember that.
If you regarded me to be God's servant, you take my word; I do not look for the American church to get any better. It'll continue to get worse. I believe there'll be droppings, and powers, and Holy Spirit--of Holy Spirit falls. Yes, I believe that. I believe there'll be miracles and signs done yet. But I believe as a nation, no, sir. I believe our day of grace has been sent away. Now, Christ is coming.

L-68 All nations and all Kingdoms must fall. Every mortal must give away to immortality. Don't disregard those words because it comes from an uneducated person. Don't regard it because a--the person that I am. But regard it because--regard it because this, that it's the Word of God, and that God Himself, if I've told the truth, will vindicate it to be the truth. If I'm false, then my preaching's false, then my doctrine is false, then I'm false with it.
And if the--I preach a perishable doctrine and a perishable Christ, I'll perish with it. But if I preach the imperishable Word of God, and an imperishable God, I'll live forever with Him. That's right. I've done my best. I can't do no more. It's up to God to shake your hearts to believe. Once more I ask Him in Christ's Name to let this happen again tonight for the glory of God.

L-69 Brother Boze, is this the person? Now, be just reverent just for a little while.
God has set in the church first apostles, missionaries, secondarily prophets, teachers, evangelists, and pastors. Is that right? God has set in the church... How our teaching was this morning up there in that room, blue room, what they call it up there to Washington Hotel, that brother who preached the "Keys To The Church." How right that was. How true it was when Brother Winston's teaching this morning on the discipline of the church. How that you... We misrepresent things, how can you build a foundation on something when you're misrepresenting it? There's nothing to build on.
