<TITLE>05. Par 28-33</TITLE>L-28 There are those that are to enter into baptism of water. And we pray that Your Holy Spirit will fill them with the--His Presence if they haven't already received such. May they become sealed away from the things of the world, and filled with the Spirit of God in Divine love of God, and with fellowship with all men.
Lord, down across the nations of the world, as You have sent me, a poor illiterate man... And yet, Lord, believing in my heart of Thee, the things that I have believed and have been taught by the Bible, and confirmed by the Angel of the Lord Who stands present to confirm what's said, if it be of God... Many times, people has thought me to be a compromiser. Thou art the Judge of my heart. But as Paul of old who even preached Judaism until he won the confidence of the people, and then preached Christ crucified; but first to win the confidence of the people, so his message would be seasoned with salt. We pray, O Lord, that You'll season our talks and our fellowship with the Salt of the Spirit, with the Blood of the Lord Jesus, and make us the people that has been called, and that the world might look and watch our lives, and then become thirsty to be like us.
Keep us humble, and filled with Thy love and Thy Spirit. For we ask it in the Name of Him Who prayed that we might be one, that all men would know that we were His children when we have love one for the other. Amen.

L-30 Now, to you, I know it's kind of warm. And if there's, there's a foot fan back here if they want to bring it anywhere, would seem better, it's all right. I would just like to read some now from the sacred Writings. [Brother Branham and Brother Neville converse with one another--Ed.] No, sir, not as long as it's on the floor like that, I believe it'd be all right, Brother Neville.

L-31 I want you to turn with me in the Scriptures to the Book of Joel, and then I have several places here that I'd like to read from first to get a lecture, some context for a lecture. First, in Joel the 1st chapter, beginning with the 1st verse, and reading the 4th. And then in the 2nd chapter, the 25th to the 27th, we'll read for a Scripture reading.
And the Word of the LORD... came unto Joel the son of Pethuel.
Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all the inhabitants of the land. Has this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?
Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.
That which the palmerworm... left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust has left has the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm has left has the caterpillar eaten.

L-32 And then in the 25th to the 27th verse of the 2nd chapter...
I will restore unto you the years that the locust has eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar... the palmerworm and caterpillar, the great army which I sent among you.
And you shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that has dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
And you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.

L-33 Then in the Book of Romans, and in the 1st chapter of Romans, and the 25th verse, I read this; we'll take the 24th also.
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanliness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:
Who changed the truth of God unto a lie,...
And then in Romans the 3rd chapter and the 4th verse. Romans 3rd, and the 4th verse, we read. The first sphere, phase of that 4th verse.
God forbid:... let God be true, and every man a liar;...
