<TITLE>17. Par 177-185</TITLE>L-177 Won't you just raise up and come down with these others standing around the altar here? Come. It's coming to judgment now. Won't you come? Come now, your sins confess now, you won't have to go to the judgment. God bless this couple that just come. God bless you, sir. That's good. God bless you, young lady. Come right on down. Come, sir.
I've wandered far... (Come on, my Spanish brother.)...
... away from God,
Now I'm coming...
Won't you raise up now and come down here? Let's pray. Come to the Shelter.
... of sin too long I've trod,
O Lord, I'm coming home.
May I say this, just while the organ is continually playing. The message tonight is a message of love, grace, and warning. Tomorrow night, this message may be in your ears somewhere else, a message of condemnation and judgment. While it has mercy in it, come and receive it. Won't you, friend? I've got to meet you with This, what I've said tonight, someday. Won't you come, let It speak for mercy for you, while we sing once more, "Now I'm Coming Home," won't you do it?

L-180 Just stay right here, sister, dear. You all stay right here if you will, just a moment. We want to have prayer with these at the altar. Just let them stay right where they are. Once more now.
I've wandered far... (Rise up, come. Won't you? I invite you.)
Now I'm coming home;
The path of sin too long I've trod,
Lord, I'm coming home.
Christians, pray now.
Coming home...
Come, my sinner brother; come, sister; purchased of His Blood, to whom Christ died for. Won't you come now? Let me persuade you, this great hour, when judgment is hanging over the doors of the nation, the doors of the world. Won't you come? I plead with you, in Christ's stead, come to Christ while you can. Let it be mercy, not judgment.

L-182 Now, let us hum it. [Brother Branham begins humming, "Lord, I'm Coming Home."--Ed.]
Would there be some more, just a moment while we're waiting here now? Different ones are taking their places around those. Isn't this a sweet time? I don't know; it may just be me, but I just feel so good right now. This is what I long, this is what I love.
When I was just a boy preacher, a minister's sister said to me one time; she wanted me to go to a dance with her. I told her I didn't go to dances. She asked me to take her to a show. I wouldn't do it. I said, "I don't go to shows."
She said, "Where do you get any pleasure?"
I said, "Come with me to the meeting."

L-185 That night I was having a tent meeting. I was just a boy, about twenty-one years old, young man. That night several came to the altar. I seen her sitting back there, weeping. I motioned to her, I said, "You asked me a question last night. I can answer it tonight."
Said, "What was it, Billy?"
I said, "This is the greatest joy of my time." See sinners come, some satisfying Something in my heart just speaks peace. Coming home...
I'm coming home, never...
I like this, this sweetness. You feel just like the Holy Spirit's present, pleased, "Well done, well done." This is preparation of a healing service, spiritual healing first. The Body of Christ is sick; it needs healing, the spiritual Body.
I'm coming home...
Now, bow your heads. Everyone pray. Everyone in prayer.
Home, oh, never more to roam.
[Brother Branham speaks with someone--Ed.] Now, you better take...?... here. You must have something in here...?... a wonderful group of men...?... Thank you, brother. God bless you.
