<TITLE>16. Par 79-84</TITLE>L-79 All right. There's any need of the baptism of the Spirit and say, "Brother Branham, I need the fullness of God's Spirit in my life to give me courage to stand in these hours of trial. I've tried, but I fail and I want God to fill me with the Holy Spirit and adopt me into His family, so I can be a real courageous soldier." Would you hold your hand to God, say, "It's me"? God bless you. Yes, dozens of hands. Now, let us pray.

L-80 Our Heavenly Father, we thank Thee. "Faith cometh by hearing, hearing of the Word of God." We thank Thee for these tonight. I don't know them. Thou does. But they raised their hands, dozens, that they wanted to receive You as their personal Saviour. And Thou hast said that, "No man can come to Me, except My Father draws him first." And then you said, "All that comes to Me, I'll give him Everlasting Life. None can pluck him from My hands. I'll raise him up at the last days."
And, Father God, I'm quoting Your own Son's Words. He said, "He that heareth My words and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath (past tense) passed from death unto Life and shall not come into the judgment, but's passed from death to Life." God, that's Your Word. You seen every hand went up. According to Your Word, they have passed from death unto Life. They believe. They've raised their hands as a witness, a token. And I pray, God, that You receive them into the Kingdom of Thy own beloved Son this night.

L-81 And at the close of this service, may each of them come up around the altar, and pray, and thank You; for there's many people on earth who will never, never accept Christ. Not that God was willing, but by foreknowledge He knew it, and they were predestinated to this condemnation, says the Scripture. But what a privilege that a man that God Almighty will knock at his heart and invite him to come to His own beloved Son. And Jesus said, "He that comes, I will in no wise cast him away."
But the Father... And it's a gift of the Father to the Son. And the Son promised to keep them through His own Blood. God, keep these who raised their hand. And if I have found grace in Your sight, hear the prayer of Your unprofitable servant. I ask this blessing in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-82 Doesn't it just make you feel real good? The Holy Spirit... Now, each that raised your hand, along with the others, at the close... I was not going to have prayer service. If I can find Billy Paul, I--he was saying he went over to, I believe, to the church today to give out cards, but I forgot. If he didn't, there's some to give out anyhow. I think there's some from last night. I... Where's he at, Brother Wood. Oh, excuse me, he was behind me. Did you give out cards...?... to a hundred.

L-83 All right. How many believes that the Lord Jesus Christ promised to meet with wherever two or three were gathered? He did. And He said... Now, if He was here tonight and was... How many here never was in one of the little humble meetings that the Lord has given me, His unprofitable servant? You never was in one of my meetings, would you raise your hand? My, just look at the hands.
I would take just a moment of time then. Now, friends, there's five offices in the church: prophets, or--or evangelists, pastors, teachers, and apostles or missionaries, either one you want to call it, both the same word. God set this in the church for the perfecting of the church.

L-84 Now, I want to ask you a questions to you newcomers. Do you believe Jesus raised from the dead? You believe it, you newcomers? All right. Does the Bible say in Hebrews 13:8 that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever? Yes, He did. Well, then, if He is the same, He has to be the same in principle, the same in power, the same in attitude, just the same Jesus. Is that right?
