<TITLE>15. Par 145-153</TITLE>L-145 And just walk away, cast it upon the Lord, and say, "Lord, I've--I'm a smoker." God bless you, brother. "I'm a drinker. I'm--I'm a liar. I just can't quit joking, telling dirty jokes. I just can't quit from taking a drink, a sociable drink, I get with a crowd. I--I want--I want to get away from all of that. I--I--I'm a person that's always looking at evil things, the streets are full of--of unclean women and men. And--and it--it--I--I want--I want to get away from that. Will You, O God, let me be able to cast all my cares tonight on You?"
Will you raise your hand, say, "Pray for me, Brother Branham. I here now surrender everything, and put it on the altar, and I'll cast all my cares upon Him"? Would there be another before we pray?

L-147 God bless this young fellow setting here with his hand up, the little fellow with the red sweater on. "A little child shall lead them." Truly the Scriptures are right.
Would there be another anywhere would just raise your hand, and say, "Pray for me"? God bless you, the young Spanish boy setting here. Someone else? God bless you there, lady, I see your hand. There, sir, I see yours. And the young Spanish man back there. And this lady setting here. I see. God sees your hand; He knows your emotion. Bless you, sister. God bless you, brother. That's good, Anyone else would say, "Remember me, Brother Branham"? God bless you back there, sonny boy. God bless you, sister. And you, the little girl setting here. Way back there, I see your hand, that big strong man with his hand up in the air. God bless you setting here, young fellow, just in the prime of life, setting here with his head bowed.

L-149 Oh, what a moment, decisions are being made, "Can I cast all my cares upon Him?" It might seem strange. God bless this aged couple [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] "in here, I want to cast my cares upon Him." Yes, just surrender everything. I... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] "Here is all my cares, upon You. I believe." God bless you, the young lady back there, the Spanish girl. That young man, that young lady. Yes, God bless you. That's good. Be another just before our prayer now? Remember, you're making your...
Bless this little boy. Bless this young woman here. Oh. You in prayer, I just want to say something. One of the sweetest little looks... If there is a tomorrow, there sets a minister looking at me of about four years old.

L-151 Now remember, the spirit of discernment, I haven't been giving it here in the church just in the last night or two. I'm wanting to get something else first. There's people setting here with testimonies in their hearts (I know it), healed years ago, and all these things. But I want to put first things first. Let's get our souls so we can just trust God and lay everything on the altar, say, "Lord God, here I am."
But that Thy Blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come! I come!
[Brother Branham begins humming, "Just As I Am"--Ed.]

L-153 I wonder now, being that many has raised up their hand... There's something about a church that's sweet. It's where the saints gather time after time to pray, where the ministry is preached across the platform. There's something lovely about a church. The world's so populated today, it's kind of hard to hold a campaign in a church, people stand cramped.
And my precious brother and sister, about twelve years ago I come to you as a young man starting the ministry. Many of you are still here. I see Mrs. Waldroff is here, where she was carried in there dead on a stretcher with cancer in the heart; that's been years ago. And the Holy Spirit brought her back to life again. Her doctors give their testimony and had the records of it. Others setting here that... It's proven, friends, that He loves you.
