<TITLE>10. Par 38-42</TITLE>L-38 Would you raise your hand to Him. We haven't got room to put the people around the altar, but if you just raise your hand and say, "God, be merciful to me." God bless you, brother. God bless you, oh, my, all over the building. I don't know how many hands there is. "Be merciful to me, oh, God. This is my hand. I want to escape, Lord. Before morning I might hear a scream." I looked out, and the rainbows would be floating through the skies, the Son of man would be coming. What a terrible day, that you missed your opportunity. You stood right around your church didn't you?
Oh, you said, "Mama belonged to this." That's all right, brother. That's all right, sister. But Mama's salvation will never take you in. Mama lived in one day and you're living in another. Hear the message of the Lord. And hear the warning of the Spirit.

L-39 What kind of a Spirit was it, that One Who discerned the--how Sarah was laughing on the inside of a tent, the Angel of the Lord? Now, with your heads bowed, I want to pray for each one of you. What did you do when you put your hands up? You say, "Did that mean anything, Brother Branham?" Sure did. If you really meant that, it meant the difference between death and life. The message is urgent. Won't you put your hand up right now? "Be merciful, God, to me." God bless the little girl. God bless the lady. God bless you, you, sonny, you, you, young man. Little children all along these altars has got their little hands up. Well, bless their little hearts.
You say, "They don't mean that." Oh, yes they do. Jesus said, "Suffer little children to come to Me; forbid them not, for such is the Kingdom of God." They may never live to be in maturity. But they will be... they'll never... They'll escape maybe all the great things that we've had to go through with.

L-40 God be merciful. When you raise your hands, it shows that there's something in you has made a decision. Your body would be dead, if there wasn't something in you that said, "Raise your hands." That was the Spirit. Then you raised your hand. God witnessed it. The Spirit made you raise your hand. God bless you. And all the little children back there. There's little colored children too, along there. God bless your little hearts, honey. God loves you. Sure.
We're going out of here one of these days. I don't know when it will be but it--it's coming. Hurry right quick. Get into the Kingdom.

L-41 You say, "Well, I've heard that before." You might hear it your last time too. Let this be the time. God bless you, back there, young lady. Get away from all this old modern stuff, these old walls. They'll all fall down. All this rock-and-roll and all this stuff will perish with the world. Don't you be included in the world. You get out of there. God's a coming for His church. And He's chose you. That's the reason He's speaking to you. The message is urgent, come quickly. Now, while we pray, be sincere now, and ask God to be merciful to you.

L-42 Blessed Lord, there might be people here who has never seen the working of the powers of God before, but something down in their heart has said, "Raise you hand. It's Me." And they see that there is a urgent call. They--they're intelligent enough to look around and to see that there's something fixing to happen. Little children, many of them, put their little hands up. God, be merciful to them. Many of the old and the middle aged, they put their hands up; the teen-agers put their hands up: they're wanting mercy, God. And I'm so glad to know that the first revelation of Christ is mercy. The second revelation is judgment. O God, thank You for these who has taken mercy tonight, mercy's road. "Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are they that do hunger and thirst for righteousness; they shall be filled."
