<TITLE>12. Par 50-54</TITLE>L-50 I wonder tonight, if you're dying, sinner friend, who would stand for you? Your pastor can't; your mother can't; or some saint can't. It takes Christ and Him alone. Let us think of it, while we bow our heads, just a moment for prayer.
You might have come to see a gift of God as the queen of Sheba did. I'd like to ask you a question while you're praying. Would you say, "Search me, Oh, God, and see now; I've never seen this happen, but I've just arrived at the courts. I know there's nothing in that little man, standing on the platform, but I've come by faith, expecting to see something happen. And I know that You will do it. And Lord, I want to accept You as my Saviour, and I want to stand for You, right now, that at that day, You'll stand for me."

L-51 How many that's in here, that'll just quickly... We can't call you up here, but would just raise up your hand and say by that, "God, be merciful to me." God bless you, lady. God bless you. Oh, my, thirty, forty hands, fifty, yes, more than that maybe. "God, be merciful to me. I now want to accept Christ as my personal Saviour. I want to make this all-sufficient stand for Him right now. I believe that I'm in His Presence, and I want to stand for Him, so that He will stand for me on that day."
Would there be some more that would raise your hand? Up in the balcony, raise your hands. Young folks, you're right at the crossroads of life. Listen, sister and brother, oh, this is your hour. God bless you, young man. That's a gallant thing. God bless you. God bless you over there. That's good.

L-52 You say, "Brother Branham, what does it do when I raise up my hand?" It changes you from death to life. If you mean it, I'm taking your word, and God will.
You know, according to science, you can't move your hand; gravitation's supposed to hold your hand down to your side. But when you defy gravitation, raise up your hand towards your Maker, it shows that there is a Spirit in you that's made a decision. And you've defied the laws of nature, you... God bless you, sir. You defied the laws of gravitation and you raised your hand towards the Creator, that you believe that make you--that made you and say, "I now accept You, Lord, as my Saviour." God put your name on the Book, the very minute you do it. You pass from death to Life.

L-53 Just look what's taking place in here, tonight. What has it been? Pray now. Maybe there would be another, or maybe more, that would like to, by raised hand, while everybody's with their heads bowed, praying, "God, I now raise my hand, not to the preacher, but to You, Lord. I'm convinced that You're the Son of God, and I want You to be my Saviour, and I raise my hand to stand for You, tonight." Put up your hand, will you, while we pray? Yes, God bless you, back there, sir. That's very fine. God bless you, little one. Maybe God has never--even you've never seen the Holy Spirit move in power, but you're just accepting It beforehand. Greater is he who has never seen and yet believe the resurrection. God bless you, sir, down here. Certainly.

L-54 Now, are You finished up? I'm just believe this, that God said, "No man can come to Me except My Father drawed him. And all that comes to Me, I'll give him Everlasting Life, and raise him up at the last day." Saint John 5:24 says, "He that heareth My Word (Now, "He" is a personal pronoun, not a church, group of people, a person.), He that heareth My Words and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath (present tense) Everlasting Life, and shall never come to the judgment; but's pass from death unto Life."
Then the black clouds of death that sailed from over fifty or seventy-five people, in here tonight, and the light clouds of light that has come to them... Let us pray:
