<TITLE>05. Par -</TITLE>L-473-24 Now, to... Now, if the Lord willing and my voice is all right, either Sunday morning or Sunday night one, the Lord willing I want to speak on the Christmas message that I have for you: "The--The Infallible Sign." You see? I've still... I've struck it Sunday morning and then something hit fire in my heart. And I just was too far along with the message to pick it up again. So I--I want to pick it up Sunday morning, the Lord willing, or Sunday night one. So Brother Neville and I will get together on that time.
Now, as Brother Neville has said, and so do I want to thank each one of you for the remembrance of Christmas: your cards. Brother and Sister Spencer, I got yours. And all the different ones here that sent me your cards around, I do appreciate them and the gifts and things that you sent. We certainly do appreciate it. From--from my wife and I, and--we--and the children, we thank you. We would like to be able to send a Christmas present to everyone, but that'd sure be a hard thing for a preacher to do, wouldn't it? Well, maybe around as many as there is to go to, I just wouldn't be able to do it. You see? I just... But I wished I could even get the kiddies, every one, something. I'd sure like to do it, but it's not just... Ministers can't do that. See? There's just too many to go buy. But we're all I'm sure, myself and others too, that we appreciate our congregations. One of the greatest things that I think that you've done, is your love and your undying faith that you have placed in me as your--one of your pastors here, and--this year.
Brother Neville that's to you too, my dear brother. And the fine spirit that Brother Neville has always showed, like, "Come right ahead, Brother Branham; here's the pulpit, take it right over. Bless God, I like to set down and listen." And I--I like that. I--I just like that humble, unselfish way that Brother Neville has. And you all's faith, and just...

L-473-27 One thing you can do me a favor by, is pray for me. I'm going to have a bunch of spotted meetings just before the big itinerary starts. Now, they'll--they'll be placed around, I think down around Glasgow, Kentucky, I'll have a night, maybe Campbellsville, Kentucky, I'll have a night. And--and over at some other place there in Kentucky, Willow Shade, I believe it is, I have a night. But just along like that, I'll let you know just as soon as we get them straightened out of the meetings that's coming up, which will be just little spotted meetings now, until I go back into the field again.
But I've dedicated myself freshly and newly the other night to God. And by God's help and by God's grace I mean to stay in the harness till I die. See? I did that around thirty years ago. And I've been in... But I get so tired, sometimes I get beyond myself. I just get to a place where I just can't go any farther. See, you all just merely see it right here. You--you just don't realize what it is up there, and out yonder, and over here. And--and not even from one--not from one city, no; one state, no; not from the United States; but the world (See?), around the world. See? And that--that's many I guess in contact tonight, I have met or contacted, not in the thousands, but millions of people. See? And you'd just be surprised how many of those are sick. See? And they're calling; and it does make a great pressure.

L-474-29 So I appreciate your all's prayers. And by God's help and grace, a very Merry Christmas to every one of you. Remember my saying; this is not Santa Claus this is for Jesus. You see? "Christmas means Christ." And we were riding last night showing the kiddies all the houses decorated and everything, which is awful nice. But I thought, if I ever had on--anything on my house that I ever wanted to write, would be a neon sign: "Trusting Christ Will Be In Your Christmas." That's right. Put Christ back into Christmas.
