<TITLE>10. Par 36-38</TITLE>L-36 Let us bow our heads now while we think of this. Are you certain that it's God's will to save you?
You in radio-land, think of it. Is it the will of God to save you? Are you certain it is? You sinner man, maybe at the pool room, or at the barroom, out in the car with the other man's wife, drinking, you there with the cigarette in your mouth, are you certain that God is God of holiness, that can forgive your sins and take all your iniquity away?
Are you, here in this audience that doesn't know Christ as your Saviour, are you certain tonight that God forgives the sinner? You without the Holy Spirit, both here and in radio-land, are you certain that it's God's will to give you the Holy Spirit? Are you certain the Scriptures are inspired when Peter said, "Repent every one of you, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, for the promise is unto you and to your children, to them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." Are you certain of that?

L-37 Are you certain, you sick people, that Jesus was wounded for your transgressions, bruised for your iniquity, the chastisement of your peace was upon Him, and with His stripes you were healed? Are you certain it's God? It's God's will, if you are asking for whatever you have need of just now while we pray, and you will receive it.
How many in the visible audience will raise up your hand and say, "Brother Branham, I have a need of God tonight. I raise my hand to say that I have need of God. May God grant it to me. I want you to remember me in prayer." Here in the visible audience, raise your hand. You in radio-land, raise up your hand. Wherever you are, in the hospital, wherever; say, "Lord, be merciful to me. I need You, and I'm certain that You are. Your Son, Jesus, died to give me the desire of my heart, for He completely redeemed me back to the place where we fell, at the garden of Eden. I now will accept it."

L-38 Let us pray. Gracious Jehovah, the God of Elijah, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God Who brought again Jesus, His Son, from the dead, raised Him up for a propitiation of our sins, and has raised Him for our justification... And the poet well expressed it when he said:
 Living, He loved me; dying, He saved me;
 Buried, He carried my sins far away;
 Rising, He justified freely forever:
 Someday He's coming--oh glorious day!
Lord, look at those hands around this country just now that been raised up to You. You who knows the heart of men and women, boys and girls, grant, Lord, that the Holy Spirit will not leave one of them out, but shall give to each one according to their needs. And we know that we have Your Word saying, "According to their faith, they shall receive." Give to them faith tonight, Lord, and may they be certain that every promise of God is true, if they'll only wait. For it is written, "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as an eagle; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." Lord, teach us to wait upon Thee; lay hold of Eternal Life and every promise in the Bible, and wait upon Thee for salvation of our souls, for the baptism of the Holy Spirit, for joy in our hearts, for healing of our bodies, for every redemptive blessing that You died for at Calvary.
Let us have faith tonight to know that God did not cause Christ to suffer in vain. That was for all generations. For it is written, "Whosoever will, let him come." While we are coming, Lord, grant that we will receive, for we ask it in Jesus' Name, Thy Son, as we commit it to Thee. Amen.
