<TITLE>21. Par 74-76</TITLE>L-74 Now, our heavenly Father, I bring these people sweetly, and humbly to You in the Name of Your Son, the Lord Jesus, to be sure that my prayer is offered for them. To be sure that I have did all that I know how to do, that they will receive You, being that You have been so good to take these old, frail bodies of ours, and to let the Holy Spirit speak through them, it certainly taking a sanctifying grace of God to do it, because we are sinners, and of no good at all. But the Holy Spirit has taken the Blood of Jesus and cleansed our hearts, and sanctified our lips like You did the prophet at the altar. And now, the Word of God, spoken Word of God, flows forth to vindicate His Presence to this generation before it shall pass into eternity to give an account.
Many have come tonight around this altar to receive the Holy Spirit. Father God, we pray that not one of them will leave here until their filled with the Holy Ghost. May they be filled, every one of them, with the power and the resurrection of Christ. Grant it, Lord. And may the sick and afflicted in here, be healed. Whatever is wrong with the sick and afflicted, may the power of God come and heal each one of them. I offer this prayer to You sincerely, with all my heart. In the Name of Jesus, and for His glory.

L-75 I--I want the ministers to walk up close now, laying hands on them. Now, brothers... Brother David, and you brethren, come right down here along the altar. Now, there's no need of just playing with this; there's not a bit of need of that. You're here to get the Holy Ghost. Are you? Do you want it, really want it? Well now, it's for you. All right, if you've never received Christian baptism, will you promise God to be baptized if you haven't done it? Will you promise God that you'll let Him just use you in any way, no matter what comes or goes, you'll take His Word for it?
Now, how many believers are in the building? If they're going to receive the Holy Ghost, raise up your hand, you believe they're to receive it? Raise up your hand.

L-76 Now, I'm going to ask the pastor here, to lead this prayer, 'cause he's probably been in pentecost a lot longer than I have, and I want each one of you, pastors here, you preachers, evangelists, whatever you are, you members, all of us to pray with one accord, while brother leads us. And I want each one of you to pray now. I want you people to pray, and believe you're going to receive it now. All right. Let us bow our heads. [The brother prays, and Brother Branham speaks while he prays--Ed.] Oh, God. Yes, Lord. Yes. Fill with the Holy Ghost right now. Grant it, Lord. Come, Lord. Yes. Grant it, Lord. Pour Your Spirit, Lord. Balm of Gilead, be poured in...
