<TITLE>06. Par 19-22</TITLE>L-19 Now, notice, this is not personally to anyone, just as the Holy Spirit will point it to you. But notice, now, it's just the Word. The people today, they don't want to open up their heart to those things, they don't want to believe it. Oh, they try to apply somewhere else or to somebody else, knowing not, that it's to you.
You say, "Well, now, wait a minute, Brother Branham, I spoke in tongues ten years ago." That was very fine. But what is Christ to you today? Are you still seeing His marvelous powers? Does He still bring the same thrill, does something go through you when you see His mighty hand begin to move and sinners be converted. Does it bring you to all night prayer? Does it bring you to fasting? Does it send you to the altar quickly to work with someone, to instruct them how to come through to the Holy Spirit? Does it warm your heart to go into the neighborhood and seek out the lost? Do you speak to the milkman, to the meter-man, to the man on the street? Those things they going to accompany that experience that you received long ago. Something's happened. You pushed Him out the door. God wants the heart.

L-20 Then there is another door. Oh, there is many that we could speak of, but because of time. There's another one that I want to speak on just for a few moments, and that's the door of the eye. "Oh," you say, "I got good sight, Brother Branham." You may physically have very good eyes and spiritually completely blind. That's right.
Now, you don't see with your eyes anyhow. Jesus said unto Nicodemus, the great ruler, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a man be borned again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God."
The word "see" by the right translation, is "understand." You see something before you, you say, "I just can't see it." You mean you can't understand it.
Jesus said, "Come, and buy from Me, some eye salve, that I might put on your eyes, and your eyes might be opened, and you could see. For you're blind, and you're naked, and you're miserable and wretched, and poor."
The churches has got the biggest buildings they've ever had, the best polished scholars, I guess, that's walked into the pulpit, they have it now. But yet, the church is weaker as it ever was; it's growing weaker all the time.

L-21 Notice, "Buy of Me some eye salve, that I might put the eye salve on your eyes." When I was a little boy born down in the southern state of Kentucky. I don't guess many of you was ever down there. We were real poor. And we seen the little babies when they would get a--a wake up of a morning, and would have some kind, mama used to call it matter, in your eyes. And the little eyes would be stuck together. And mama would go out and get some coon grease out of the old kettle, where grandpa had been trapping coon, and rendering out the grease, and put it on our eyes and soften up those little matters that stuck our eyelids together. It become that way while we were asleep. And that's what's the matter with the Full Gospel Church tonight: asleep on the job. And it'll take more than coon grease to open your eyes, it'll take the oil of the Holy Spirit to open the eyes of the Church, that they might see again. Open your eyes...

L-22 It alarms me, as I cross through the nation, and especially in America, and see great signs that the Holy Spirit will do, and great wonders that He will perform, and the people set as though nothing had happened. They just don't see it. Oh, I'm praying for a revival in America. And I'm wondering sometimes if it won't--if I'm not praying in vain. I hope not.
Today I met with some men from your New England States, and if the Lord willing, the complete month of May is going to be a revival in here, if the Lord permits. We're coming here for a one solid month in May, for a month's revival. Want to try with all that's in me, if God will permit, to try to bring God's eye salve, that the people might be anointed and their eyes be opened.
