<TITLE>16. Par 57-59</TITLE>L-57 Now, while you're praying, may the Holy Spirit in His goodness and mercy, and His tenderness, come down to you and say, "Child of Mine, that's Me talking to you. I--I'm wanting to speak to you just a moment. I--I know that you feel you're--you're condemned. And I--I want to take you a little closer to Me. You don't want to come empty handed. You don't want to come with sin on your conscience; you want to come with your--with happiness, and peace, and joy in your heart."
While we have our heads bowed and our eyes closed, each one of you now, a little private conference with God while we wait.
"Though your sins be as scarlet, yet they shall be white like snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be white like wool."
You say, "Brother Branham, it's sickness that I've got." That's... A little faith right now will settle the whole thing. It's just a little sin not to believe. What is sin? Unbelief. "He that believeth not is condemned already." Let's find a little conference.

L-58 The other day I laid sick, couldn't even whisper for nine days. And I heard something in my room, and I looked up, and there stood Someone dressed in white. I seen a Bible open, and a cross came out of it, and out of the cross came Jesus. He told me what I was fixing to go into that was wrong. Oh, that conference, the sweetness... One second later I called my wife and she was so scared she dropped the blankets in the floor, the sheets, she come in to change my bed. Just a little talk with Jesus makes it different.
Now, inside and out, with you heads bowed, how many like to be remembered tonight in closing prayer of the message? Would you raise your hand. God bless you, you. God be with you. Outside would you want to hold your hand? God sees, there's no darkness or dark, but what He can see. Yes, hundred and fifty, two hundred, or maybe more hands have went up. There's no way for us to make an altar call here. The altar's full of little children. But the...

L-59 Just keep thinking. Now, to you that's sick. Would you raise your hand, say, "Lord, let me have--let me talk it over with You right now." God bless you. That's right. A hundred and fifty or more of those, or maybe that many. All right. Whatever the conference is, no matter, if thou believest.
Our heavenly Father, in the sacredness and sweetness of this minute that may mean the difference between death and life to many people. We cannot see outside standing in the church yard, but around the building, inside, over the audience, we seen many hands, many of those calling for salvation, many of those wanting to be saved and filled with Your Spirit.
Then there was many raised their hands for sickness. And we've been through the conferences, Lord, of that upon the Word, we ministers, and we have orders from You, "Preach the Word." That's why they call us Full Gospel preachers; we preach the whole Word, the whole counsel of God. We believe He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquity; the chastisement of our peace is upon Him, and with His stripes we were healed. We believe that's so, Lord; we're settled in that in our heart. No matter what they have done, through their sins be as scarlet, You promised if they'd come and reason together...
