<TITLE>14. Par 98-102</TITLE>L-98 Dear God, You don't take things unless it's totally delivered. You cannot receive a sacrifice with a blemish on it. You would never receive a prayer that there's sin back in the life of that person. You just could not do it, Lord. You didn't do it in the ages gone by, and You can't do it today. But the sacrifice must be without blemish. And, Lord God, as we lay ourselves on the altar as sacrificed life, take from us, O Lord, all blemishes of sin. I'll completely lay my soul and my body and my strength and my efforts, with this church this morning on the altar. Cleanse us by Thy Blood, and forgive us of every sin that we have did. And may the great Holy Spirit so richly abide in us, and His Presence go with us from this tabernacle this morning, that we'll know within ourselves that He has forgiven us. And then the prayer will be, "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." Grant it, Lord.
Be Thou near us now, bless us and keep us until we meet again at the evening service. May we come in with clean hands and a pure heart, that You'll not turn down, for we want a complete and total deliverance from anything, Lord, that would keep us from being the light of the world, a candle that's set on a hill, not a bushel over it, but a candle that sets on the hill, that gives light to guide people's feet in the way that's right. Grant it, Father. We ask it in Jesus' Name, and for His glory. Amen.

L-100 I'm going to ask Doc; I think he's back there, or one of the deacons is present, that the church might read this. Doc, come put this on the bulletin board so the church can see it as they go out. And then Brother Collins, if he's here... Is Brother Collins in? Give him this other one.
All right, sir, and we'll see what the... [Brother Branham pauses--Ed.]. That's someone wanting an interview. That's always granted. We are glad. And I have interviews. You see, the thing you do is call our number out there. We--we had so much trouble up at the house; well, the church knows it. This is--is strangers. The church knows about it. There should be a little piece put... I'll have it placed here in the church too, for the oncomers. You see, there's so many, that we can't take care of them all, just as they come by number. See? And we... And if you'll just call BUtler 2-1519, BUtler. And any of the members that sees anyone that wants... I'm always glad to see people, but we have a regular system. There's some already called, several (See?), and we just come by one-by-one as we come. Then there's... Used to be we just had kind of a haphazard hit, any way, skip, hop, the people went home disappointed and everything. Now, they have everything just in order. And that's what we're trying to speak of now (See?), put everything in order, just perfectly. And I'll be glad to see this dear party, if they'll just call BUtler 2-1519, -1519, and Mr. Mercier or Mr. Goad, one, will answer the phone and tell you just exactly when you can have an appointment. We got a place out there, air conditioned, and ready to receive the people and pray for them. We're only happy to do it.

L-102 Now, reason I don't come to church, the people thinks I try to get away from the people; it isn't. I'm trying to--to be exactly in order. See, that's what I want to be, just won't show respect to persons. Each person, anybody, anywhere, any time... See? Color, creed has nothing to do with it. We come right there and meet the people. And if they have a need, we stay right with God until it's solved. If they want to know anything about meetings, 'course, we take care of it and follow it; that's only the leading of the Holy Spirit. And that's that way, I think it's just; it does everyone just exactly the same. Therefore, there's no respect of person, no respect.
