<TITLE>25. Par 220-229</TITLE>L-220   I wonder, tonight, if there would be one here, say, "Brother Branham, if I was weighed in the balance of God at that time, I would never, never, never be able to meet that qualification you're speaking of tonight. I want you to remember me in prayer, that I will change my ways, and God will come in and take this nonsense out of me and make me a real Christian"? Would you raise your hand for prayer, if--if you would? God bless you. God bless you. God bless you, in the back. God bless you. God bless you, sir. God bless you, big brother. God bless you, sister.
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of host.
Heaven and earth are full of Thee,
Heaven and earth are praising Thee,
O Lord Most High.

L-221   "Holy." As you're thinking now, praying, as you feel convinced that you been wrong, and you want to be right, would you just raise your hand, saying, "God, make me what I ought to be"? God bless you, little lady. "God, make me what I ought to be." God bless you, brother, sister, you, you, you over here.

L-222 Day is dying. I know it's hard, friends, but it's better to know Truth now. Now quietly pray.
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God...
He is holy, alone.
... full of Thee,
Heaven and earth are praising Thee,
O Lord Most High.

L-223   Heavenly Father, as the sun sets in the evening, the robins gather in the trees with their loved ones. The birds all go to their nests. The doves fly up on the wires, high, so the snakes won't bother them through the night. They set there and coo to each other till they go to sleep. The sun finally sets.

L-224 Someday we're coming down to that hour. The sunset is going to happen. I don't know when, Lord. But there's people here tonight who is convinced that they're been wrong, and they want to come to that place... Like Lincoln come to it as he was dying, said, "Turn my face towards the setting sun." And he started, "Our Father Who art in Heaven."

L-225 As Moody of old said, "Is this death? This is my coronation day."

L-226   O Eternal One, receive them just now; by faith, as they set there in their seats. You knocked at their heart, at the seat. That's their altar. This is the time for You to receive them, just now. You said, "He that cometh to Me, I will in nowise cast out."

L-227 And someday when sun is setting, wife or husband is standing by the bed, the doctors walked away. O Holy, Holy, that beautiful, sweet hush, just before the sun sets. When we could raise up and say:
Sunset and Evening Star,
And one clear call for me;
And may there be no moaning at the bar
When I put out to sea.

L-228   O God, grant it to them this hour; while they wait, waiting for the blessing of God to come upon them. Take all of the temper, all of the world, away from them, and create in them a new heart. You said, "I'll take the old heart away, and put in a heart of flesh. And I'll put My Spirit in that heart, and they shall walk in My statutes and keep My commandments." Because, it's an ordinance of love, and not of duty. It's of love. And love constrains us to do it. It's a duty of love, to constrain us. It's our duty to follow love. And I pray, God, that You'll give it to every heart that raised their hand tonight.

L-229 And those who did not raise their hand, may they now, by grace, raise their hands to accept You, and to be filled with Your Spirit in this meek, sweet, quiet, humble way; and be full of grace, go out of here as a changed person. How the birds will sing different, how everybody will be different, after this hour, O Lord Most High.
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of earth,
Heaven and earth are full of Thee,
Heaven and earth are praising Thee,
O Lord Most High.
