<TITLE>12. Par 49-54</TITLE>L-49 And while we're setting in prayer and every head's bowed, I just wonder how many of you, and all you sinner friends, would you just raise your hands to Christ, and say, "Be merciful to me, God; I raise my hands." Put up your hand, will you do that? Lord bless you. God bless you. Up in the balconies to my right, put up the hand, up there, sinner friend, say, "I now will resign from sin; I accept Christ. I'm finished with sin."

L-50 The balconies to the rear, balcony to the left, raise your hands. God bless you. Anyone on the center floors here? Raise your hand, say, "Be merciful to me, God, I--I..." God bless you, sir. God bless you. "I now see my mistake. I've tried to go to pool rooms, Brother Branham. I've tried everything. I've joined church; I've done everything, and nothing satisfies. I want to come to that place where I can have Christ as my satisfying Portion and He will witness the thing back to me by filling me with His Spirit. I now accept Him. I want Him to do it tonight."

L-51 Another hand or two before we go further? God bless you, sir. Someone else? God bless you. God bless you, lady. Another? "Be merciful to me, O God," you'd say. Anywhere in the building, before we close. God bless you, lady. Another, just before closing now.
I'm going to ask for you backsliders that knows that you've done wrong, aren't you ashamed right there to leave? You're going to die. Is there something in you, just the weakest little voice speaking somewhere, saying, "Come to Me, child. You can't die in this condition. If you do, you know you're doomed."?

L-52 Will you raise your hand and say, "God, I now raise my hands to You, saying, 'Be merciful to me; I want to come back home, God, from tonight on. I want to be satisfied and have that good feeling that I used to have, and that real worship and fellowship where I just love to read the Bible and go to church and sing the old songs. I want to have that again.'" Would you just raise your hands? God bless you, sir. It takes a real man to do that, brother. But I got confidence in a man that has made a mistake and willing to confess that he's wrong.

L-53 Now, to you bunch of Christians, you women and men that's trying to satisfy that holy thirst with things of the world, if you've got any real Christian principle and you're guilty, will you raise your hand to God, and say, "God, be merciful to me. From tonight on I'm changing my ways."? Raise your hand. God bless you. That's the way; that's the way to do it. Amen.
The balcony to the right, raise your hand. Come on, Christian. God bless you, up there. That's right. Man, I've got real, real confidence in you. The balcony to the rear. God bless you, that's good. Balcony to the left, raise your hand. Say, "From now on..." God bless you. "God spoke to my heart." God bless you; that's right: dozens of hands everywhere.
"I'm ashamed of my life, I've acted wrong; I know I'm wrong Brother Branham. I oughtn't to have done that."

L-54 How many here that's never had the Holy Spirit, and you want the Holy Spirit to come to you now, and to bless you, and to give you... You been up and down, up and down, look like you--you never on the housetop but just a few hours at a time, and then the next day you're down in the dumps, as we call it. Then you--you never seem to keep the victory, got just halfway life. God don't want you to be like that. He wants you to be full of His grace and power all the time. God's got it for you. You want to accept it by just raising your hands, saying, "God, You see my hand." Man, God bless you. God bless you, yes, yes, just all around. Put up your hand and see how it feels. Just mean it from your hearts. God bless you, that's right. God bless you. All around the balconies, I'm looking at you. Certainly, God sees you if I don't. God bless you, sir. That's good.
Oh, bless your heart. That's what Chattanooga needs, is what the rest of the world needs, is a revival.
