<TITLE>11. Par 52-55</TITLE>L-52 Lord God, Creator of heavens and earth, no doubt but what some of these people setting here tonight that's raised their hand to this great host, thirty or forty people, that's been people who's been thinking of these things for a long time. They've been tossed about, but tonight, somehow, in this little broken Message God has spoke to their heart. For it is written in the Word, "No man can come to Me except My Father draws him first." And it's written also that, "He that heareth My words and believeth on Him that's sent Me has Everlasting Life, and shall never come to the judgment, but's pass from death to Life."
They don't have to weary no more. If they mean that from their heart, all the old things are gone. They shall never come to the judgment or condemnation. They've accepted Christ as their Saviour, and have been made a member of His body; and that body's already been judged. God could not judge it again. "But I'll pass over you, when I see the Blood," saith the Scripture. Give unto them Eternal Life. Give health to them, happiness, and joy. May they find a church home somewhere close to where they are living, and there, be a faithful member of the Body of Christ until You call them home.
Then may they hear it said in that last day, "It was well done, my good and faithful servant; enter in to the joys of the Lord that's been prepared for you since the foundation of the world." Grant it, Lord. For we ask it in Jesus' Name, as I present them to You as the fruits of this message. Keep them, O God, through Thy Word and Thy strength. Amen.

L-53 I realize I had to chop my Message just a little short tonight. And being just a little aware of that, you can't think just as you should. But I hope that somehow God settles it into the hearts of Christians too. The Bible said, "Blessed are ye when you hunger and thirst for righteousness." [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] "Oh, my soul thirsts for Him."

L-54 And now, friend, each one of you that raised your hand, some at least thirty or forty here tonight as sinners that accepted Christ, if I read my Bible right, the very minute you put up your hand, if you meant that from your heart, you become a member of Christ. Jesus said... I know you have different ways and different people think you should be baptized first and you should do this and do that, but Jesus said, "He that heareth My words and believeth on Him that's sent Me has Eternal Life." That settles it as far as I'm concerned.

L-55 Now, you say, "What do you mean by putting up your hand, Brother Branham? Was that good enough?" Absolutely. I said this the other night. It stands repeating. According to the laws of science, you broke every law and defied science when you raised your hand. You're a creature of this earth, and the gravitation of the earth will hold your hands down, actually. But there was a spirit in you, a supernatural something that science can't find. The Holy Spirit spake to it. And you defied science by raising your hands to your Creator, "By this, I will now accept You as my Saviour." It was a decision that your soul made that defied science and gravitation and say, "I accept Jesus as my Saviour." It's a witness that you're a Christian.
