<TITLE>09. Par 33-36</TITLE>L-33 At this moment I'm not going to make an altar call. I'm going to wait just a few moments with nothing but one objective, that is, that the faith that's in my heart, that by grace God placed there, He will appear here tonight and will do the same as He did. Don't be stubborn hearted. Don't be slothful, but be ready. The trouble with the people now, they've seen God's glory so much, it becomes a common thing.
Sometime ago, a man was going to the seashore, for he'd wanted to go to relax, for he'd read many stories about the sea, as you've read about God. And he said, "I long to be by the seashore. I've never seen it. I long to smell it's salt water. I long to hear the sea gulls as they go through the air, screaming. I long to see the great white caps, as it raises up and dances for glee, and how it jumps against the bank in it's anger, to know that God has made the moon to watch over it, and set it's bounds that it cannot pass. Oh, I want to see all that the sea will offer."
How you ought to be willing, tonight, and longing to see all that God will offer.

L-34 And as He went, he met an old sailor coming from the sea. He said, "Where goest thou?"
He said, "I'm going to the sea to see all that it will offer, its waves, its salt water, and the great white foam as it bursts into the air from the salt."
The old sailor said, "Why, there's nothing attractive about it. I've rode those waves since I was a child. I've smelled salt, till I feel that I'm pickled." He said, "And I've heard gulls holler, till I don't even notice them no more. There's nothing attractive about it."
What was the matter? The man had seen it so much, until it was so common, he couldn't catch its beauty.
And to you Pentecostal and full gospel people, who attends such meetings, you've seen the glory of God so much, until it's so common you don't catch the real power and glory of it any more. Now, that is true. God grant tonight that you'll realize your privilege that you have of being called out as a people, and set in the presence of God to see His power manifested.

L-35 Lord Jesus, the rest belongs to You. Water the Word, Lord, and may It not return void. May It accomplish that which It is purposed for. Thou knows the objectives of my heart, and I know what You meant when You preached the Word. Now, confirm It, Lord, and it'll be complete. In Jesus' Name, we pray. Amen.
Billy, where--where is Billy Paul? And I want Gene Goad to come here just a moment. I want Billy to stand down here and Gene over here to remove the people when they're prayed for. And I believe that there was... Excuse me, I didn't... What's that? [Someone speaks with Brother Branham--Ed.] One to a hundred? All right. In what? A's, one to a hundred, the prayer cards.

L-36 How we do the prayer cards, we bring them down, mix them all up together before the people and give anybody a prayer card that wishes one. That's the only... And then we might start from 1; we might start from 50; we might start from 30; each night we try to start from something different. That doesn't matter. You might get card 1, and the next one that's setting by you gets card 50, and the one back there gets card 75. Then when that's done, then we call somewhere; one gets up in here, one over here, and one back there, and one up in the balcony, they come down. What's that to do? They get a contact; to get the Spirit to get one person singled out. As soon as it gets started moving, soon as I talk to them like our blessed Saviour did, which it's Him doing His work. And then over in the audience...
