<TITLE>08. Par 66-76</TITLE>L-66 That's it. That cleanses, and purifies, and brings in a fellowship, "A little while and the world will see Me no more. Yet ye shall see Me, for I (a personal pronoun) will be with you, even in you, to the end of the world. And when He the Holy Spirit has come, He will come--be the Comforter the Father will send in My Name. He'll show you things to come and bring things to your remembrance." When? As we set together in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus, the Holy Spirit coming through the Word, coming down, comforting, giving consolation.

L-67 The coming of destruction of the world, all the things that has been are now vanishing. All hopes is gone, and the world has nowhere to stand. They're drinking, gambling, marrying, given in marriage, because they have rejected the true Foundation of comfort, the Holy Spirit.
But we who believe in Him, are looking for a Kingdom to come (Blessed be the Name of the Lord.), where there'll be no more sorrow, or crying, or heartaches; but peace, and joy, and love, and immortality shall take its place someday.

L-69 Cast your cares. If you have cares, cast them on Him, for He careth for you. The other leads to eternal death. This leads to Eternal Life. And a man's made so he could want that Comforter. He's wanting a comforter, because he was made that way. That's the way God put him up together, built the rooms in him; his soul, his conscience, his sights, his senses, everything was put together. And in this little room of something to make him happy, to give him consolation, to take weary and nervousness from him, God set there with the Holy Spirit. Oh, what a picture, what a truth.

L-70 Now, my poor dejected friend, if you are here and don't know that, I'm a witness that that's the truth. I'm a nervous, upset person, Irish, on both sides, and--and they're nervous and drunks. And my mother's a half Indian, which would, actually, by birth, make me a renegade. That's right. Oh, I'd be a terrible person, a half-breed almost. But what happened? I found something that took that little room in me, and give peace that passes understanding, and I come from death unto Life, from darkness unto Light. Oh, I could never deny that. That's my Life. He's All.

L-71 Standing yonder in the hospital, when I come the closest of my thirty-three years of ministry, come the closest of ever giving to Satan. When my little girl, Sharon Rose, was dying in the hospital, I stood there, and the doctor didn't even know I was in the room.
He wouldn't let me go in, because she had meningitis. He said, "Billy, you'll give it to Billy Junior. Don't go in there."
And I said, "Doc."
And he set me down. He told the nurse, said, "Go, get some medicine and give him."
She come out with a little glass about that high and said, "Take this, Brother Branham."
And I said, "Just set it down." And I watched her till she got out of the room. And down through the hall I went, and down into the basement.

L-76 And there laid my baby, laying there with flies in its eyes. A little mosquito bar of a thing over the top of its face, it'd kicked it off. And I looked over to the little fellow's mother laying in the morgue. Her little brother, Billy, in a hospital, seriously sick. My father had just died on my arms a few weeks before there. And my brother killed instantly... And there it was, and me nothing but a boy preacher. And I looked over at her, and I looked. I said, "Oh, Sharon, honey, this is daddy, do you know me?" And I know she knowed me. She was trying to, look like, wave good-bye to me. And her little eyes was crossing. She was suffering so hard, I could see those little blue eyes crossing.
And then I looked at her. And I fell on my knees, and I said, "God, her mama lays yonder in the--the morgue; we're to bury her in the morning. Don't take my baby, Lord. Let me raise her. She's so sweet. And don't take her, Lord." Just then, looked like a black sheet come, unfolding, just shut off the vision from her. "You take her, anyhow." I raised up.
