<TITLE>13. Par 46-49</TITLE>L-46 Businessmen, what about you? One of these days you're going to leave your business. No matter how prosperous you are, you're going to leave that business. Every penny you've made will be scattered among your relatives, and--and it'll be fussing, fighting, carry on. Then how much treasures have you got up yonder in heaven? What do you know about Christ? Do you just know Him as a Blesser that blesses your soul? Remember, the rain falls on the just and the unjust alike. But I mean, do you know Christ?
You say, "Oh, I know the Bible pretty good." To know the Bible's not Life.
"I know the catechism." That's not Life. But to know Christ is Life. That's the only way you can have Life. You might know business, but do you know Christ? You might know the Bible, but know Christ. If you don't, in the real forgiveness of sins and the baptism of the Holy Spirit... I don't mean just a lot of noise; I don't mean just a lot of this or that; I mean to know Him: that the free pardon of sin's come into your life, and old things is passed away, and all things have become new. If you don't know Him like that in freedom and love, such divine love... If you love Him well enough, you won't do any of the things of the world.

L-47 Just like a man, if he loves his wife, she don't have no worry about him running out. Same thing to the wife to the husband, the husband to the wife. If you love, real love for one another, you'll be true to one another; you can have confidence in each other. And if you really love Christ, not belong to His Church. She might belong to you, and you'd run out with somebody else. But if you love her, you won't do it. Don't say you do and do that; you don't. Action speaks louder than words.
Now, if you really love Christ, and you really know Him, praise the Lord. But if you don't know Him, say, "Brother Branham, I want to know Him." Just before prayer now. One more, if there would be, one more, I feel like... There you are. God bless you, sir. Let us pray.

L-48 In these fleeting moments just before the closing of this great meeting, where I've been told that many people has come to You and been saved, and has received the blessed Holy Spirit into their heart, an experience that they'll never forget as long as eternity rolls on... For it was there they become a part of God.
We thank Thee for everything. We thank Thee for these men, these Christian men. In the meetings, their convention, God, may You bless them. May they just grow and grow and...?...
We pray God in a special way, somehow, that You'll come to their heart just now. And may they feel as it was, that great rushing wind, like come down on the day of Pentecost. May every loose thing in their life now be blowed away. May a perfect peace, the joy that passeth all understanding, may it just come to their hearts deeply, richly. May they leave here tonight rejoicing. Grant it, Lord. May pastors find them, baptize them into the fellowship...

L-49 ...?... Meetings like this, that when we set together in heavenly places, it's when we have each other at heart, Christ with us, setting together in heavenly places... To me, it just seems like a scouring out time. Now, I think what we should do just at this time, Brother Demos asked me to offer a congregational prayer just before leaving. But I think we just ought to bow our heads, every one of us, in silent prayer, and give God thanks for this great convention, for what He's done. Each one of us in our own way...?... something, while we just...
Let's this real slowly, "My Faith Looks Up To Thee." And let's sing it first just before we pray. Real softly now, "My Faith Look Up To Thee," real softly, all right.
 My faith looks (Now, just bow your heads now.)
 Thou...
