<TITLE>02. Par 7-11</TITLE>L-7 Brother Rasmusson, it's sure nice to see you again tonight. We ain't had much fellowship if we had together, and different ministers. And I think we're to have a breakfast pretty soon, and--and we'll--may get to shake each others hands and--and have some time of fellowship with all this fine group of men who is constantly persuading and asking each year to come to their fellowship. It makes me feel real good.

L-8 My wife also wanted to thank you all for your welcome last night; she didn't get in last night. We've got a little boy, Joseph. How many of you remember me speaking that Joseph would come, years before he got here? Six years, the Lord showed me his coming. And he's all boy. She's a little woman.

L-9 Someone... I was speaking here some time ago, and... at a Spanish meeting, and I said, "This is an international gathering." I said, "I'm Irish; my wife is German; my baby's Indian; and I'm speaking to Spanish."
Afterwards, a little Spanish girl said, "Brother Branham, don't you think that your baby's a bit pale to be an Indian?"
I said, "Only a Indian by action": really all boy.

L-10 It's a little late, and so we'll not take too much time. And may the Lord bless us now as we bow our heads to speak to Him.
Most gracious Father, we just can't find any words to express our feeling in our heart. As it is said by one some time ago in the meeting, that he could speak in seven different languages, and he could speak it fluently. But when he got close to You one night, he couldn't find any words to express how he felt, so You gave him a new language to express his feelings to You. That's the way we feel, Lord. There's no words that we could form in our thinking to tell how we love You, and to thank You for what You have been to us. And we could not get reverent enough, neither could we even think enough deep thoughts to come to You to ask You to continue to be with us. Oh, we need You, Lord.
As the song writer has said, "I need Thee. Oh, I need Thee, Every hour I need Thee," that's the way we feel, Lord. So draw nigh unto us now as we sit after a great day of--of speaking and manifestations of Your blessings. And we come tonight to listen again for the Word. We would pray that You would take the words of Your servant and speak them to the hearts of Your peoples. And when we leave tonight, may our hearts be just so filled with Your love till we'll go from here with the determination to serve You more than ever in life.

L-11 And if there would be a sojourner, that has come into our midst tonight, that doesn't know You in the baptism of Your Spirit, or neither has knowed You by confession of faith, may this be the hour that they'll say that one eternal "yes" to God and surrender their all. And if that has been done, and they have not yet received the Holy Ghost since they have believed, may this be the night that they will receive the gift of God in their life.
If there be sick among us, Lord, may they go out of here tonight rejoicing and thanking God for new found faith and health. We're depending on Thee, Lord, for Thou hast promised that You'd fill us with good things. "Blessed are they that do hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled." Now, speak to our hearts as we have need; we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.
