<TITLE>10. Par 40-43</TITLE>L-40 Some other raise your hand and say, "God, be merciful to me just now. I now will believe on the Lord Jesus, and from this night on I'll conduct myself as a real son or daughter of God." Someone that hasn't raised their hands yet, out in the vestibule, I see you way out in there. Yes, sir. Oh, God bless you, my brethren. Back in this way, all around... That's right. God be merciful to you. That's right, over there, sir; God sees you.
Maybe some lukewarm church member now, that's never really, you know... You--you've tried to accept your healing maybe, and today you say, "Yes, I got it," tomorrow, "I lost it." You don't lose nothing. You can no more lose than Christ can lose. If you really believe it, it stays there. Nothing can take it from your heart. You say, "I haven't conducted myself, Brother Branham. I've listened to little old jokes. I've stayed home on Wednesday night to watch--watch television instead of going to church. I've been wrong, but I'm believing right now, Lord, and from tonight on I'm going to conduct myself as a real believer." Would you raise your hand, say, "Be merciful to me, God?" Don't be ashamed. If you're ashamed of God now, God will be ashamed of you. God bless you. That's right. All over the building, wonderful.

L-41 Now, let us bow our heads for prayer, each one now in your own way. Heavenly Father, trusting only in Thy merits, O God, I pray for every sinner that raised his or her hand. And may this very moment they realize that it was a Spirit of God Who caused them to raise their hand. They could not raise their hand; there's some kind of a Spirit that make them raise their hand. As we have said before, gravitation holds our hands down. Then we defy the law of gravitation by raising our hand, because there is a Spirit within us telling us if we're wrong, and we raise our hands towards our Creator, and ask for mercy.

L-42 I just got one more day to be with you people here, but I want to say this. I'm sorry that I've been hoarse. But this is one of the finest group of Christian faith that I have ever met in this United States. God bless you, my brethren, who has taught these people thus. God be merciful to you and grant that you'll grow in the grace of God.
You know that how thankful you should be. Just as soon as the Holy Spirit begin to move in the supernatural form, each one of you believed it. You mark my word. Weeks after I'm gone from here you'll find out that people that was in chairs will be walking; people that were sick will come to their pastor and say, "That just left me."
I haven't been able... I've told my co-workers, "Each night I've never been able to catch the people, so many. It was just one great blast of faith." I've never seen such in America. It puts me in the mind of being across the sea somewhere. Oh, you don't know what a heritage you have. Protect this. Protect it. Don't never let any fanaticism or anything group into this. God, grant it. Keep yourself virgin, unspotted from the things of the world. Stay right before God; love Him with all your heart.

L-43 Now, tonight we have given out that we're going to have what we call the "faith line." And that is to pray for those who have their prayer cards by passing them through the line, laying hands on them, without the vision. Now, we realize that--that tomorrow now we're going right back to the other line.
