<TITLE>04. Par 13-16</TITLE>L-13 We would ask that You would bless this little church today, its pastor, and deacons, and all the board, and the members, and the strangers that's gathered in our gates. We are grateful for fellowship, hearing someone say they had drove many miles to come for the service. And truly the Scripture is made manifest when It said, "If I be lifted up, I'll draw all men unto Me."
And we know, Lord, that Thy Church is not in the majority this morning, the true believers are in the minority. But someday, Lord, You will take that minority to Yourself. That's the hour that we long for. That's the day we're waiting to dawn, when we shall see Him Who was wounded for our transgressions, and was bruised for our iniquity, and the chastisement of our peace upon Him, and with His stripes we were healed. How we thank Thee for this.

L-14 Praying, Lord, that You will bless Your unworthy servant as I try to minister to Your people, give them something that would bring all of us closer to Thee. May we leave from this building this morning a better Christian than we was when we come in. And may... If there be one here who isn't right, Lord, may they leave the building this morning with a happy heart, rejoicing because they have found that Pearl of great price that overweighed all the rest of the things of their life.
We'd ask also, Lord, for those who are sick and afflicted. May they not have to wait for a special service tonight, but may the great Holy Spirit touch that person this morning and give unto them Thy grace.

L-15 Privileged looking upon a woman a few days ago who met us, and said, "Oh, Brother Branham, it seems that a dreadful disease that you cursed one time in the Name of the Lord, is trying to return again. But I'm resting solemnly upon the THUS SAITH THE LORD. And when the physicians had examined our Sister Bruce, they found her negative. We are grateful, Lord, that You keep Your Word. Your promise is so true.
May it be a THUS SAITH THE LORD this morning for every need that we have need of. We would remember those are in the hospitals and at home, and especially our Brother Rogers. May Thy grace and mercy, if it so pleases Thee, Lord, speak this morning in a vision and show us just what to tell our brother. For we are Your people waiting to hear Your Word. Until we hear, we'll be trusting every moment. Pour out Thy blessings upon all. Bless the reading of the Word, and we'll give Thee all the praise and all the glory, for we ask it in Jesus Name. Amen.

L-16 I wish you all to turn to the 21st chapter of Saint Matthew's, if you will. And we are going to read a portion of the Word, beginning with the 1st verse.
 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and there came to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
 Saying unto them, Go ye unto the village over against you, and straightway you shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.
 And if any man say ought unto you, you shall say, The Lord has need of them; and straightway he will send them.
 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, saying,
 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek... setting upon an ass, and colt the foal of an ass.
 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and set him upon--thereupon.
 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the ways; and others cut down branches from the trees, and strowed them in the way.
 And the multitude that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Naz... of Galilee.
