<TITLE>16. Par 155-167</TITLE>L-155 Would you come up here tonight now? You that raised your hands, got something you want to cast on the Lord, your care, would you come here and just let me pray with you? Come, stand up. You that doesn't know Christ as your Saviour, or if you do know Him, and you've got some habits you can't get rid of it, or something, would you come here? Don't be ashamed now. You say, "I raised my hand, Brother Branham." Then surely you'd walk up here and say, "I publicly confess that I need Christ. I want to come here and stand."
He said, "If you're ashamed of Me before men, I'll be ashamed of you before My Father and the holy Angels. But if you'll confess Me before men, him will I confess before My Father and the holy Angels."

L-157 Would you walk and come right down the aisle now? Come right down here and stand.
A young woman's coming, perhaps either... I suppose Chinese woman, coming down now to make her public confession that she needs Christ. God bless you, sister. Right there, I'll be with you in a moment.
Would some more come right now while we're singing? God bless you, sir.
Softly and tenderly...
Now, if you want to cast your cares on Him, come, cast yourself on His altar here with...
Calling for you...
Just raise right up; come right down here. We want to stand here and pray with you, just lay hands on you.
See on the portal He's waiting and watching,
Watching for...

L-162 What's He watching? Watching to see if you really meant that or not. Come on now, come on. Did you mean it?' Sure, you did.
Come home, come, come... (God bless you. God bless you, young man there.)
Ye who are weary, come home;
Earnestly, (God.) tenderly, Jesus...
Have you got a care tonight that you can't get rid of, you want to cast it on the Lord? Come on down.
Oh, sinner, come home!
Come home, come home,
Ye who are weary, come home;
[Brother Branham leaves the pulpit and prays with the people at the altar; another brother continues singing "Softly And Tenderly" and urging others to come--Ed.]
Though we have...
Won't you come on now, right around, kneel around for prayer. You that's not satisfied, just the place you're standing, won't you come? Come on.
... for you and for me.
Come home, (God bless you, young man. God bless you, brother.)... home,
Ye who are weary, come home;
[Brother Branham again leaves the pulpit and prays with the people at the altar, the brother continues singing "Softly And Tenderly" with the congregation, speaking to them--Ed.]
Come home...

L-167 Is there any here that doesn't have the Holy Spirit, has never been filled with the Spirit of God, you're not sure of your standing? Raise your hand, say, "I haven't received the Holy Ghost, Brother Branham." Have you received the Holy Ghost since you have believed? If you haven't, raise your hands. Would you like to come and kneel right here now, and let us pray for you, receive the Holy Ghost? Come on now while we sing.
Come home, come home,
Ye who are weary, come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!
Why should we tarry when Jesus...
Won't you come now right around now while Jesus is calling? Maybe it might be your last call. We don't know. It might not; but still it might be. Won't you come? Don't take a chance on it. If you're not sure, come now. Will you come?
... linger and heed not His mercy,
Mercy for you and for me?
Come home, (God bless you, brother, sister)
... home,
Ye who are weary...
[Brother Branham speaks to a brother, and leaves pulpit--Ed.] You'll have to take it... God bless you...?...
