<TITLE>15. Par 159-167</TITLE>L-159 Are you in that blessed hiding Place, friend? God be merciful. If you're not, and would like to be remembered tonight in prayer, would you raise your hand, say, "Brother Branham, pray for me." Anywhere in the building, put up... God bless you, and you, you, you. That's good. God bless you. That's... God bless you. Anyone else say, "Remember me, Brother Branham"? God bless you, brother. God bless you, sister. God bless you back there. God bless you way back in the back, young lady. That lady here, God bless you. Yes. The Lord bless you, sir; and you too. Oh, that's fine. Someone else, just raise your hand.
You say, "Brother Branham, what does that mean?"

L-160 God bless you, sister. God bless you back there, sir. God bless you here, lady, that's wonderful.
"What does it mean, Brother Branham, when I raise my hand?"
You know, according to science, you can't raise your hands? If there wasn't a life in you, you couldn't do it. Science don't know what life is. They know it's life, but they don't know what it is. They can't make it. And what is it? Science says that your hands, gravitation holds your hands down, the same as it holds your feet on the ground.
But you've got a spirit in you. And, that spirit, Something has been near you. Jesus said, "No man can come to Me except My Father draws him, first, and all the Father has given Me will come to Me." Aren't you happy tonight to know that God can deal with your heart, that there's a little Voice there, saying, "Come to safety"? Now, watch, "He that comes to Me, I will in no wise cast out."

L-164 What had to happen? You had to have Something setting by you, that told you, "You're wrong." Oh, you might belong to a church. But, "You're wrong," you haven't received the Holy Spirit yet. You're not in the Ark.
How do we get in the Ark? Not walk in It. How do we get into It? "By one Spirit we're all baptized into one Body." All believers are baptized into that one Body. How? By the Holy Spirit. "And these signs shall follow them that believe." There we are in the Body, safely.
If you're not, don't let Satan despise you enough tonight to keep you from raising your hand. Well, what will that do? It broke every scientific rule, when you raised your hand. It showed that something in you had made a decision. Something greater than science, something that defied the laws of science. Said, "There's a spirit in me that says 'I'm wrong' And there's One sitting near me, and says, 'Accept Me.' I raised my hand towards where the Voice come from, heaven. Be merciful to me, O God. I need You. I want the Holy Spirit. I want to be in safety. I want my sins under the Blood. And I want to be sealed in the Body of Christ, so I can feel comfortably, I can enjoy the rays of healing, I can enjoy the rays of Divine healing in my soul, a physical healing in my body, of walking with the Lamb each day, safely. No matter what the paper says, the newspapers; I've heard off of a great Paper, called the Bible. I've went to safety. No matter what takes place, I'm still safe. 'For those,' if death takes me, 'those that are in Christ, will God bring with Him, at His coming.' I'm still safe. Death cannot bother me."

L-167 God bless you, sir. God bless you. Someone else now before we pray, "I want that safe abiding Place, Brother Branham"? Is there another that hasn't raised their hand? God bless you, lady. That's good. God bless you back there in the back. That's wonderful.
Now, the same God that's convinced you that you're wrong, is there to make it right with you.
Let us bow our heads now, constantly, and pray. Just talk to Him now in your own way. If you can do no more than just like this Publican that smote himself on the breast, said, "God, be merciful to me, a sinner. That's all he had to say; God knowed the rest of it. And he went home justified. May you go likewise, tonight, safe from the storm.
