<TITLE>04. Par 30-37</TITLE>L-30 And our books, and so forth, when we sell them, they're... We have to buy them forty percent less than what we get for them, and then we... That's, through there you get a lot of damage on them, and you get freight charges besides that; then you have to haul them out here and then sell them. Why, you couldn't--you couldn't break even with them if you had to. See? But we do it just because that it's to get the message to you, to try to get you to be helped yourself; and then tell somebody else, and pass it on to them. That's what these things are for, isn't it? Communism puts out their books and their literature free, because they're a great regime. I'm just one person. Wished I could, had the money to just say all books and everything's free, I'd do it. But I can't do it, I have to have something to go back again and print some more, or--or buy some more.

L-31 The Lord bless you. And you'll pray for me, won't you? And when I'm overseas, and in those dark places where witch doctors are standing on each hand, challenge you to everything that you say, times are going hard, the hot winds of persecution is blowing, can I put you on the--the list, or you put me on your list, and I can remember when I have to meet that challenge of witch doctors, and devils, and things out there on the field, I can say, "San Jose's praying for me"? Will you, will you do that? Raise up your hand if you will, say, "I'll be praying for you." Thank you. Thank you, my brethren. Thank you.
I come among you to be your brother, and to bring--help bring peace and Christ, everything that's good to you. You pray for me. If I've left out anyone, forgive me; I don't mean to. But a great hearty thanks, and God's blessing to each of you.

L-32 We're to leave for home now, right away. I've got about a three-day's meeting there in my little church, teaching them the baptism of the Holy Ghost, speaking in tongues, signs and wonders to follow the believers, and so forth; of the people that's around in there.
I believe in all the spiritual gifts. I believe in all the Bible. I'm Pentecost from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet, inside, outside, all around, through. I'm Pentecostal. Yes, sir. They say, "You're a Baptist, you said." I'm a Pentecostal Baptist. I'm a Baptist that got the Pentecostal blessing. So I'm--I love the Lord Jesus.

L-34 And I was preaching... Met some friends from Arkansas outside, and we're talking about Arkansas. And at Little Rock, one night as... There'd been an old Nazarene brother was on crutches, and he'd sold pencils on the street for years. And here he is out on the street the next day with these old crutches, walking up-and-down the street, just glorifying God. That night he was at the Robinson Memorial Auditorium, you people from around Little Rock knows where it's at. And--and he held up his hand and said, "Just a minute, Brother Branham, I want to ask you something."
I said, "Yes, sir, what is it?"
And he said, "You know, when I heard you preach, I was sure you was a Nazarene." 'Cause that's what he was. He said, "I was sure you was a Nazarene, 'cause you preach just like a Nazarene." And said, "Then I heard you say you was a member, at that time, of the Baptist church." And said, "All your congregation nearly is Pentecostal." Said, "I don't get that."
I said, "Well, that's easy. I'm a Pentecostal Nazarene Baptist." So that's what it is. The whole thing is this. We're one in Christ Jesus, bound by the bonds of His love.

L-37 Let us pray now 'fore we open the Word; we don't want to keep you so long now that you'd be late for your church service tonight. But let us ask God now to come in and bless us, the exceedingly, abundantly. How many has a request now, raise your hands and say, "Lord God, You just remember me; I'm--I'm needy today"? God be with you.
