<TITLE>12. Par 43-45</TITLE>L-43 Let us bow our heads just a moment, while we think on these things. Now, the convention's over. The Bible said, "If there be any praise, if there be any virtue, let us think on these things." As the convention, it didn't accomplished much. But sinner friend, what has it done for you? If you seen the attitude of men, who once walked the streets as you walk, and now here they are tonight as sons and daughters of God... You see businessmen, who used to cheat, and steal, and lie, who used to beat their neighbor. You see women who lived immorally, and how they live tonight. You see alcoholics, and--and dope peddlers, and everything else, of the life that they lived, and look where they're living tonight. They thought on something different. Christ is the one. Christ is the Eagle of the Church. Christ is the great One. He's the One Who stirs your emotions.
He's the One Who stirs your mind of thinking right now. Won't you tonight, by faith, reach up and take that only thing that you got, your hand, and your heart, and lay it on the wings of His Word and say, "God, pack me away from all this cares and worry of world, and let me be Yours from this night on." Before we pray, and your heads bowed, and all Christians praying, I wonder tonight in the Name of Christ, if such a person is here has never experienced a real free, happy feeling in Christ Jesus, away from the things of the world, would you like to be free? Would you raise your hand to Him tonight, by that say, "Brother Branham, pray for me. I now want to be the Christian that you're speaking about."? Would you raise your hand? God bless you. Someone else. God bless you. Someone else raise your... God bless you, lady. Someone else.

L-44 Up in the balconies, raise your hand, say, "Brother Branham, I belong to church." That's true. "I belong to a Pentecostal church." That don't matter where you belong. You're still earth bound with the cares and things of this life, why don't you set free tonight? Why don't you come, step out on this promise of God? "By faith, Lord, I spread forth my little wings tonight, that You give me the little wings of faith that I have; I'll flop them in Your Name until I can fly." Will you raise your hand, say, "Pray for me, Brother Branham? Right now I want to accept Christ to help me." God bless you, little fellow. God bless you, lady. Someone else? God bless you. God bless you in the balcony. That's right.
Someone else? I don't care, church member, whatever you are, just raise your hand, say, "Remember me, Brother Branham; I now want to have that experience." God bless you back there, sir. God bless you way back in the corner. God bless you back up in there. That's right. Someone up in the balconies here, anywhere, just raise your hand. And by that...

L-45 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... preacher, and you just preach for a meal ticket, you just preach for a living. Brother, stick your hand up to Christ tonight, say, "God, cut me loose from them things." If you just preach for what money you get out of it, shame on you, pastor, shame on you. And you just to be popular, or just to go to the conventions, and enjoy the blessings, and have the fellowship, is that all you're a Christian for? Shame on you. You're not willing to die to yourself and sacrifice everything you are, brother, for the cause of Christ, then shame on you. And raise your hand, say, "God, create within me a clean heart." Will you raise your hand and say, "Be merciful to me, Christ." Many's put their hands up; we're going to have a word of prayer just in a few moments. God bless you, lady. That's right. That's right. Stick it way up; that's the way. Amen. Just while we're waiting a moment...
