<TITLE>17. Par 63-65</TITLE>L-63 Take the backsliders back tonight, Lord. Fill with the new birth, the Holy Spirit, these who have raised their hands. God be merciful. Create in them, Lord, a birth that changes from a church creed to a real service of God. And may they have a real love in their heart to display as a Christian, like the old mother deer that we spoke of tonight had to display a mother's love, and her being an animal. Grant it, Lord.
As that deer led that cruel-hearted man, because he seen something real, led that cruel-hearted man to a loving sweet saint now, passed from death unto Life right there on that snow bank, O God, help us to do that. Will you, Lord?
Help us to make our lives so sweet and so full of the Spirit, so gentle, and kind, and sweet that the whole world would long and would see Jesus. It is written that, "We are written epistles of God read of all men." And we know our character hasn't been just right, so forgive us, Lord. Take us tonight as Your loving children.

L-64 Now, I present them to You. They are the fruits of this message tonight. And now, You are giving them to Jesus as love gifts, for they are love gifts from the Father to the Son. No man can pluck them from the hand.
God, may they live sweet humble lives, join some good church now, become a real loyal member, receive Christian baptism, and be filled with the Spirit, and become Your servants. May if I never see them or shake their hands in this earth, may I do it in another land when we set down at that great wedding supper.
I'm thinking of it, Lord. When I look across the table and see those ones, I say, "Seem like I ought to know you."
"Oh, yes, Brother Branham, I was the one at Middletown that night. Oh, I'm so glad to be here."
Then tears of joy will run down our cheeks, and the King will come out in all of His robes and glory, and will wipe all tears from our eyes, and say, "Don't cry, children. You're all home now. Enter into the joys of the Lord, that's been prepared for you since the foundation of the world." Grant that to be our lot, Lord. Until then keep us healthy, happy, spiritually filled with Your Spirit that we might serve Thee. In the Name of Thy Son, Who we gladly hear, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-65 Would you give us a little chord, "My Faith Looks Up To Thee."? How many loves those old fashion songs? Oh, how many feels just like you're all scoured out? Don't the Gospel do something to you? Just the reading of the Word, just scours us out.
Let's all sing this glorious old hymn of the church now before the healing service.
 My faith looks up to Thee,
 Thou Lamb of Calvary,
 Saviour divine;
 Now hear me while I pray,
 Take all my guilt away,
 And let me from this day be wholly Thine!
Let us sing, all together now.
 My faith looks up to Thee,
 Thou Lamb of Calvary,
 Saviour divine;
 Now hear me while I pray,
 Take all my guilt away,
 Or let me ever stray
 From Thee aside.
Let us hum it.
 While life's dark maze I tread,
 And griefs around me spread, (Let's raise your hands to Him now.)
 Be Thou my Guide;
 Bid darkness turn to day,
 Wipe sorrow's tears away,
 Nor let me ever stray
 From Thee aside.
