<TITLE>01. Par 1-6</TITLE>58-0406S, I Know My Redeemer Liveth, Branham Tabernacle, Jeffersonville, IN, 78 min
L-1 All the holy... This is the day, the day of the resurrection. We come together with gladness of heart because that He lives. And He said, "Because that I live, ye live also." And what a hope that is that we can rest upon this morning.
Now, just before I--we have the morning message, let us bow our heads just a little further for prayer.

L-2 Dear God, we are grateful this morning to be the people that is called by Thy Name. We are so glad that we do not have to just imagine any more of a great resurrection that is to come, because it's become a reality to us, as we read it in Thy Word and see that Thou hast promised this, and feeled it within our souls that Jesus lives. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
Oh, we are thinking this morning of the many heartaches that's been in life, and the many sadnesses that we've went through. The experiences that has toreing us and throwing us to the winds of the earth. How we have buried our loved ones and we have mourned at the grave. And our--our soul seems to almost perish within us; but then we can think of today. Oh, what it means that Jesus raised from the dead. He spoiled every power of the enemy when He rose up triumph. He took all the shadows away. Now we walk in the precious light of His resurrection.

L-3 Oh, we can imagine some nineteen hundred years or better this morning, when two little women on their road up to the tomb, wondering who would take away the stone... But God had already moved it. And the One that it'd been holding had raised from the dead and spoke with them and said, "Go, tell My disciples and Peter that I'll meet them over in Galilee." Oh, how we thank Thee for this great experience that we can still witness that resurrection. It becomes just as real to us as it was to them that morning, because He has risen from the dead.

L-4 Forgive us of our sins and our shortcomings. All that we had done or said or even thought that was wrong, Lord, we pray that You will forgive us for these things. And seal us deeply. Draw us close this morning. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Oh, many times You're standing in the shadows when our troubles are so deep.
When Mary turned from the tomb that morning and was weeping and she heard a voice behind her said, "Why weepest thou?" He was just behind her, just watching what was taking place. And when He spoke her name, how her heart must have jumped for joy because her Lord had risen from the dead.

L-5 Oh, speak to us this morning, Lord. Give unto us Thy Word and Thy Spirit. And ensure us newly this morning as we speak of the prophets and the different ones who waited for this great time. And we wait for the general resurrection in the last days when our Lord shall come again. Until then, Lord, keep us healthy, happy, full of joy, rejoicing, and not living by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God may we make our living. Grant it to us, Father, for we ask it in His Name Who raised from the dead and gave the assurance of our resurrection. Amen.

L-6 As I was coming down the road just a few moments ago, and I was thinking as the birds were singing, "What a springtime it is today." After the... How appropriate Easter is. After the great, dark and cold winter is past and all of its blizzards and so forth, then break forth the sunshine...
And the coming of the sun brings new life, new hope, new seasons, new crops, new flowers. Everything comes to life. How that a man even that did not have the Bible to read, could yet know that there is a God when he could just watch nature, how it goes and comes. The fall of the year is the crucifixion. And spring of the year is the resurrection, and... It just see'd God in everything.
And I was thinking as I was hearing my little birds sing out in the yard this morning, my little robins... As I just love them. I call them my little radios. And I get out and turn my radio on of a morning and listen to it.
