<TITLE>07. Par 34-38</TITLE>L-34 And while we have our heads bowed, over this audience, I just wonder if there would be of one person here that would raise up your hand and say by raising your hand to God: "God, remember me. I am deeply in need of Your grace. And I want to now raise my hand to Christ and say be merciful to me, a sinner." Will you raise your hand? God bless you, sir. Would there be another one? God bless you, sir, I see your hand. God bless you, sir. All in the balconies to my right? God bless you. God bless you, son, up there. God bless you, lady.
Someone in the balconies to the rear? Would you raise your hand and say, "Be merciful to me. I'll... I'm... My eyes, God, anoint my eyes and let me see, please. I don't know what time that my heart's going to cease. I don't know when's going to be my last breath. I'm walking on brittle threads, the brittle threads of life. Maybe before the nights over, I will scream for the doctor and He will shake his head and say, 'It's over now. Nothing more can be done. He's gone, or she's gone."

L-35 A little friend of mine, his little girl, playing out in the yard, eight years old, day before yesterday, just as healthy and lovely as she could be, a sweet little child, took real ill. He rushed her to the child... Children's Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky. Died a hour later, spinal meningitis.
You don't know what minute, how young, how old. Death's coming to all.

L-36 Balconies to my left, now, would someone there raise your hand, say... By this, you're not raising your hand to me. You're raising it to God. Say, "God, be merciful to me. I need You. Be merciful. Pray for me, Brother Branham, as I raise my hand." Would you do it? All right. God bless you there, sir. God bless you, lady. God bless you, honey, the little girl. God bless you over there. That's wonderful.
Now, all over the audience in the bottom floor here, somebody else would raise their hand who has not? God bless you, and you, and you, sister, and you, brother. And you back there, sister. "God, be merciful to me. I need You, Lord Jesus, just now."

L-37 What have you done when you raise your hand? You've defied every law that science has. According to gravitation your arms are supposed to hang down. But when you raised your hand up to the Creator of heavens and earth, and your Creator, you defy the laws of gravitation showing that there's a spirit in you that's made a decision. "I now raise my hand, defy all laws of gravitation, everything else, because the Creator that spoke to my heart as... My soul has made a decision that I love Him and I will raise my hand to Him to be merciful to me."
If I know my Bible right, Jesus said, "He that heareth My words and believeth on Him that sent Me, has Everlasting Life, and shall never come into the judgment, but has passed from death to life." That's the difference.

L-38 Would you, by a decision in your heart, raise your hand towards God and say, "I now accept Him."? God bless you, brother. That's... God bless you, sister. That's wonderful. That's about twenty. God bless you, my brother, over here. That's another one.
What does It do? God bless you, sister. God bless you, brother. That's just... Oh, do you know what happens? If you take my word as God's servant, and here's God's Word to back it up, the minute you raise your hand, if you mean that from your heart, you pass from death unto Life. God bless you back there, brother. I see your hand back here in the middle aisle. That's good. Just let Him speak to your heart. God bless you over here, young lady. God be with you. God bless you there, young man. God be with you. You... God bless you back here. I see you, brother, surely God does.
