<TITLE>10. Par 49-51</TITLE>L-49 "As the hart panteth for the water brook, my soul thirsts after thee, O God." Would you raise your hand, saying, "Remember me"? Over here in the balcony now to the right. Now, we cross over and go to the left, to my left. Would someone over there put up your hand and say, "Brother Branham, remember me in prayer. I'm in need. I realize that I love to drink from that fountain. I--I want to be right above everything in the world, for I realize that there's nothing left no more."? Would you put your hand up, someone in the left balcony? Say, "Remember me." God bless you, sir. God bless you down there, sonny boy. God bless you down there at the end of the balcony. That's right. God bless you up there at the top. That's good. God bless you up here, my brother. Certainly, God sees your hand.

L-50 Now, be honest with yourself. I say to you in Christ's Name; we're in His Presence. Right now, this group of people is setting with the eyes of the Lord Jesus looking upon you. If that isn't true, I'm a false prophet. God bless you, sister, right down here in the bottom rows. I see you. God bless you here, lady. Somewhere else in the building, anywhere, standing around, whatever? God bless you, lady, setting here in the balcony to the right. That's good. God sees your hand. There's a recording Angel putting that right down.
One of these days, when maybe the doctor visits your house, maybe before morning, take the pulse, shakes the head and say, "There's nothing can be done; you're dying."... When you're pressing a dying pillow, and the icy veins cooling off in your arms, you'll be happy that you raised that hand to Christ. But if you should've done it and God told you to, and you didn't, what a icy hand to hold. It's too late to hold then. Now's the time to make your decision. "If you be ashamed of Me..."
God bless you back there, sir. God bless you, sir. God bless you back there, lady. God bless you, sir, back there. God bless you, my brother, back there. God bless you, little boy. "If you will confess Me before men, I will confess you before the Father and the holy Angels. If you're ashamed of Me before men, I'll be ashamed of you before My Father and the holy Angels."

L-51 I love you. You say, "Brother Branham, why do you make that so straight?" God bless you, sir. "Why do you make that so straight?" Oh, brother, if God has given you the privilege to break in to see a past the curtain of time. This that you see happen here in the meeting, that Spirit that comes and packs out into dimensions that the world knows nothing about... I do know what I speak of. I don't say that boastfully. I say that reverently and humbly. And I do know without Christ you're lost, brother. There's nothing in the world can save you. And don't be deceived by being able to do good works and join church. It's just another perverted life.
Anything that you do within yourself is not of God. God helps those who cannot help themselves. If you just quit drinking, say, "I know I ought to quit drinking. I want everybody to pray for me, that I'll quit drinking." And then you go out and say, "If I ever take another drink, one of you boys smack me in the face." And they do that four or five times and you quit drinking. That still hasn't done one thing. That has got nothing to do with God. It's a birth that comes into you, and those things automatically are gone. Won't you accept Him now? Would there be another just before prayer? All right, shall we bow our heads now.
