<TITLE>06. Par 20-22</TITLE>L-20 And now, as we open back the pages of Thy holy Writ, we pray that You will just come right into Your Word and make It live tonight. "The Word is a Seed," said our Master. And if the seed falls in the right ground, it has to produce life of its kind. And we pray that the--the promises of God will anchor into fertile hearts of faith tonight and produce salvation and healing to this audience.
We thank Thee for them, Father. This is the purchase of Your Blood, that I have the privilege of speaking to tonight. Let me speak that which is profitable and good to Thy people, for I'm sure You love them, and I love them.
And I pray that You will anoint me to speak just the thing, and then send Your Holy Spirit upon me at the end of this meeting also. And may great signs and wonders of the risen Jesus, the seal of His Messiahship to this western people...

L-21 The sun is setting, and the prophet said, "It'll be light just before the sun goes down." And it would be on the western people. Of course it could not be shining on the east at the time. So I pray that You will send forth the light.
Christ said, "I am the way, the truth, and the Life." And I pray that You'll send It upon us tonight as we wait. We ask it in the Name of the Lord Jesus, Thy Child. Amen.
And any time needing a handkerchief or anything now, if you didn't get it in tonight, just write me: William Branham, Jeffersonville, Indiana. The post office box is 325. Don't necessarily have to be that. You'll not be dunned or asked for any pledges or any... Sometimes people send me a little money to help me out to buy stamps. It costs about, I guess three hundred a week for stamps, so to help... But you don't have to do that.

L-22 And then the books, the boys sold out of them. They've taken orders which will be sent right straight back to you. We don't have them ourself. We have to send and get them to send them to you.
Now, in the Book of Saint Luke's Gospel the 2nd chapter and beginning at the 25th verse. I wish to read just a portion of His Word. For I know that the reading of His Word will produce Life. My word is the word of a man. It can fail. That's the Word of God, and It cannot fail. Now, listen at the reading.
And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
And the... And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parent brought in the child Jesus, to do for Him after the custom of the law,
Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Lord, now letteth... Thy servant depart in peace, according to Thy word:
For my eyes have seen Thy salvation,
Which... has appeared before the face of all people;
A light--a light to... the Gentiles, and a glory of Thy people Israel.
And Joseph and his mother marveled at these things which were spoken of Him.
And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary His mother, Behold, this child is sent for the fall and the rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign that shall be spoken against;
And may the Lord add His blessings to His Word.
