<TITLE>14. Par 54-58</TITLE>L-54 Sweet little girl a few minutes ago as I was coming through the gate. She come and said, "My name is Karen." She said, "My mommy and poppy come down." She said, "I got warts all over my legs."
She wouldn't ask me to pray, for I picked her up in my arms. I prayed for God. I said, "Honey, them warts will leave you now."
She looked over, and her little baby eyes looking at me, and said, "Thank you, sir."
A little child. You say, "That girl that raised up her hand then, she don't know..."
Yes she does. It's the Holy Spirit that's here, wants to bring the child to the fountain while she's young, and her little conscience isn't seared with old rock-and-roll, and True Story magazines, and filth of the world. Let her plunge beneath the flood tonight, lose all the guilty stains. She's thinking on her ways.

L-55 Dear heavenly Father, at the close of the message, I bring to You these who have raised their hands. They are the trophies of the message. They come simple, they just raised their hands. It is written in the Scripture, "As many as believed was added to the Church," as many that would be saved. And I pray, dear God, that Your Words will ring so in their ears just now and in their heart. We know our Lord said, "No man can come to Me except My Father draws him. And all the Father has given Me will come to Me." Sometime in our strange messages, we think, "What did we do it for?" And then we see sinners put up their hands. Then we know it's our Father working. We know that God has ordained that they should come. And they will come, because Jesus said they would. Then He said, "He that will come to Me, I will in no wise cast out. He that heareth My words..." [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]

L-56 And to preach it, Lord. "And believeth on him that sent Me (that's on the Father God.) hath Everlasting Life and shall never come into the judgment, but's passed from death unto Life." Something told these people to raise their hand. When they did, it was a Spirit that spoke to them and say, "You're wrong. Raise your hand."
And they broke every scientific rule. They raised their hands. Science says that gravitation will hold your hands down. It shows there's a spirit in them that could break the laws of gravitation and raise up a hand. The same God that they raised it to was standing there to put their name on the Lamb's book of Life. I believe it, Lord. Receive them.

L-57 I may not be able to shake their hands in this life, but yonder on the other side, when the last sermon's preached, and the Bible's closed the last time, and my lips shall be sealed in death, my eyes closed, and I'll wake to worlds unknown, yonder by the side of the throne by the evergreen tree. Let me meet them, Lord, shake their hands over there, and they say, "It was at the Chautauqua that night, that Friday night, that I raised my hand. That settled it forever, Brother Branham. So glad to be here." Lord, let it be so. I present them to You, as trophies of the meeting. In the Name of Jesus Christ, keep them, Father. Amen.
The Lord bless you.

L-58 I've got many sick people to pray for. I'd like to bring the altar call forth. But I'm going to take your word that immediately after this prayer line, that you're going to come up here at the altar. Stand here after the prayer line is over, and say, "I'm so glad tonight that I accepted Jesus as my Saviour." And do something. Go back in the room and pray, and thank God for it. Think on it now.
Now... (What was them prayer cards?) He give out the prayer cards yesterday, I believe it was he said. And he didn't know if we still are... I don't know whether he thought of it or not, but we... Anyhow, we got prayer cards out, was A's, and I took them up last night.
