<TITLE>10. Par 39-42</TITLE>L-39 You say, "Does that do any good to raise my hand?" Absolutely. God bless you, sir. God bless you, lady. That's right. What does it do? It changes from death to Life, if you mean it. God bless you, sir, over here. I see you too, you, lady, way to the left. God bless you, back there, at the back of the bleachers. You next, sir, right down the line there. God sees you. What does it mean? What did Jesus say? "He that heareth My Words, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath Everlasting Life, and shall not come into the judgment, but's passed from death unto Life."

L-40 "What does holding my hand up do, Brother Branham?" Well, we got a--a science that tells us, that gravitation holds your hand down. There's no possible way to scientifically prove that your hand can raise up, according to gravitation. That's what keeps you on earth. Gravitation holds you here. It holds your hand down. What made your hand go up? It goes to show that there's something in you, a spirit of life, that's made a decision. And you know that you're wrong, because a Spirit of God has spoke in you. And you raise your hand towards your Creator to recognize that you're wrong, and asking His mercy. You defy ever law of science, right there. You break the law of gravitation, because there's a supernatural something in you, that causes you to raise your hand and make a decision for Christ.

L-41 Would you do it? Someone else that hasn't done it, just before we pray? God bless you back there, sister. God bless you here, my brother. God bless you in the balconies. Yes, that's right. Up in there, and along the rows, God see your hand, brother, sister. Certainly, He does. When you stand by doing that, you're standing for Christ. When you raise your hand, you fully declare to God that you're sincere. And what is it? A Spirit, right by you, over you, talking to you, saying, "What have you done for Me?"
What if you die in a heart attack tonight? What if you're laying on your pillow, and you wake up, and you feeled your hands getting cold. You scream for the doctor; he comes, says, "It's a heart attack; he's gone." And you feel your pulse getting icy, wife, mother, babies, whoever it is, screaming over you. Then you've refused to stand for Christ; who's going to stand for you then? Oh, my beloved friend, stand for Him. Make your stand now, gallantly, saying, "Yes, Lord Jesus, I now take my stand on Christ, the solid rock I stand; all other grounds is sinking sand."
"I know I've never been borned again. I know I haven't never met peace with Christ, and I want to do it now, and God be merciful to me." That's good. God bless you. Let us pray:

L-42 Dear God, Who brought again the Lord Jesus from the resurrection, and appearing to us here nightly, showing us that the sign that He promised, as Jonah was in the heart of the earth, so shall the Son of God be in the heart of the earth, or Jonah in the belly of the whale, the Son of God in the heart of the earth.
He's raised from the dead. He's here now. Be merciful to us, Lord. We love you, and we're Your children. And many hands has went up. You said, Your own Words, "No man can come to Me, except My Father draws Him. And all that comes to Me, I'll give them Eternal Life and will raise them up at the last day." That's Your Word, Jesus.
