<TITLE>03. Par -</TITLE>L-4-1 And as we see the people pressing in, standing in the doors, hundreds turned away from the little church, it reminds us that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. That in the days when He visited us here in a form of flesh, the press was so great, they could not even get to Him with a man, and had to bring him through the roof of the building. And we pray, God, that tonight that everyone that's had to press in this way shall be rewarded as that man was.
Bless Thy Word as we read It, and may It be a Lamp, a Light unto our path; for we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-4-3 No...?... Rosella Griffin? [Brother Branham speaks to someone--Ed.] It was just reported to me just now that the girl that I called on this morning, an alcoholic that had been called out in the meeting in Chicago... It was that she was setting in the balcony when the Holy Spirit spoke to her and said she was an alcoholic. And five great doctors of Chicago had give her up. The Alcoholics Anonymous had given her up. And she was called out of THUS SAITH THE LORD; she was healed. She's never craved a drink from that time on.

L-4-4 And another little lady up in the balcony above her, which was a friend of hers, that they lived in Calumet City (if anyone knows what that is, that's the borderlines where it's worse than Paris, France, all kinds of evil going on), and told her that she was a dope peddler, and she was a dancer to Fred Astaire. And her father resented it, but she raised up and said, "Dad, the man is exactly right." She now is married (the little girl) and is on her road, out with her husband, preaching the Gospel. Rosella is a mission worker from every jail service and everything that she can get into, telling alcoholics that there's a hope, and that's in Christ.

L-4-5 She's been very much burdened for her father. No more than day before yesterday on a ten minute private interview (the girl has been a definite supporter of the meetings for the last four or five years), that she told me in a little ten minute report out at the trailer, on a interview that... said, "Brother Branham, whatever you do, I'm terribly burdened for my father. He loves you, but he just won't come to Christ."
I said, "Rosella, God knows how to do that; He knows how to make him do it." And the news comes now that he's buried beneath a carload of limestone. Let us pray for him.
Lord, at that mouth of that faithful daughter, and him trapped down there that could die beneath it, God, grant that he won't, but his soul will look up and remember that You are God Who can answer prayer under a limestone pile the same as You could in the belly of a whale, or in the furnace with the fire, or in the den with the lions. You remain the same. Bring him forth, Lord, a washed Christian. We know that all things work together for good to them that love You, and we pray that this will be one of those things, as we commit it to You, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
