<TITLE>22. Par 172-179</TITLE>L-172 You love Jesus? You going to serve Him? You know what this pool is this morning, that's where He died, was buried, down in this real cold grave, but He rose up again; God brought Him up. Someday, honey, you'll come forth too. You love Jesus, and serve Him all the days of your life. Now let us pray.
Lord, it is written, "Suffer little children to come to Me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of heaven." I pray that You'll bless this little child. As I baptize her with water, and You baptize her with the Spirit, Lord. She's come; she's believing; she's come upon her own will. And I'm baptizing her according to Thy Word.
On the confession of her sins, and her faith in the Son of God, I baptize thee, my beloved sister, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. [The sister is immersed--Ed.]

L-175 How are you getting along...?... How you getting along, honey, all right? What's your name? Dobson? Robison. This is little Sister Robison who comes to be immersed in the Name of her Saviour the Lord Jesus. Let us bow our heads now as we pray. Put your arms right here, honey.
O Lord God, Creator of heavens and earth, and Author of Everlasting Life, and Giver of every good gift, send Thy blessings upon the little lady. As she comes this morning confessing her sins, and believing in the Son of God, grant, Lord, that she'll be filled with the Holy Ghost. May she take that right road, and continue on it, until she's free of this life. Grant it, Lord. Give her the blessings of her life.
Now, upon the confession of your sins, and your faith in the Son of God, I baptize thee, my beloved sister, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen. [The sister is immersed, then the curtain is closed--Ed.] Amen. Amen. Praise the Lord. Okay.

L-178 You a little scared to come out now, honey, huh? Where's the mother at? [The mother says, "Right here."--Ed.] What do you think, you want to try it? ["Well, it's just up to her. She's been begging me, to be baptized...?..."]
You want to be baptized, honey, huh? You want to be, honey? You want to come with Brother Branham in the water? You afraid to come out, huh? You want to come, sweetheart? ...?... come...?... come? You want to come out here...?...  
All right, sis, it may be a little bit scary to her. That's the way it should...?...
Now, is--is there someone else in there? That... Is there someone else on this side? All right, pull the curtain. All right. [The curtain is opened.]
The little girl that was standing here just now to be baptized, she wanted to be baptized, but she was afraid the water was too cold for her. And so her mother said... Well, she asked me what I thought. I said, "Maybe if she'd be scared, I wouldn't want to scare her." See? And she was very small anyhow. But she talks about she wants to be baptized, so she thought she'd wait till the next baptism, maybe the water'd be a little warmer. So that's mighty sweet, and the mother. And we pray that God... Let's offer prayer for the little girl.

L-179 Lord Jesus, we thank You for that little thing. And it's a... It should be a rebuke to older people to see that when that little heart is tender and young, she wants to come. So little, Lord, shows that You can deal with a heart when it becomes humble and simple. And may it be an example, Lord, that You can deal with people. And I pray that You'll be with the little girl and help her. May she get older, and stronger, and bigger, to where she can be baptized in the Name of Your Son. Grant it, Father.
