<TITLE>12. Par 39-42</TITLE>L-39 "Thou Son of David, have mercy on me." Let us pray. Gracious God, full of mercy and truth... "Thou the stream of all my comfort," said blind Fanny Crosby, "More than life to me, Whom have I on earth beside Thee, Or Whom in heaven but Thee?" And she screamed out again, "Pass me not, O gentle Saviour, Hear my humble cry, While on others Thou art calling, do not pass me by." Dear Jesus, that is our humble plea tonight. Do not pass by this auditorium here in Tulsa tonight, without stopping, Lord, and visiting us. We love You with all of our hearts. We praise Thee with all that is within us. And we believe that You are the same great chief Captain, the Captain of our salvation. And we're looking for You to come in glory someday, bringing with You the host of Angels, and to receive Your precious Church, that's been called out of the world and washed in Your Blood, bearing in their body, Your name.

L-40 I pray, heavenly Father, that You will grant tonight, that if there be one in here, or many (I do not know their hearts, Thou doest), if they do not know You as their precious Saviour, and feel that warmth of fellowship, God, let it come to pass at this very hour that they will receive Thee and love Thee, and You'll draw nigh unto them. May they think on Thee now and be drawn nigh. Grant it, Lord. May there not be a sinner, boy, girl, man, or a woman, walk out of here tonight. May there not be a backslider walk out tonight, but what has come to God and had their sins forgiven. May they cry in their heart, "Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. Have mercy on me." Grant it, Lord.

L-41 And while we have our heads bowed and our eyes closed, I wonder, in this visible audience tonight... I want you to be real honest and everybody pray, pray especially for those who doesn't know Christ now.
Is there any here, while you're praying, would just like to lift up your hand? Here on the bottom floor, lift up your hand, not to me, but to Him, and say, "Thou Son of David, I've trespassed against Thee. I've broken Thy commandments. Be merciful to me at this hour." Would you raise your hand, so that I can just see and pray for you? God bless you. God bless you, all down along the floor here. Over to my right, God bless you. Raise your hand, say, "Pray for me, Brother Branham." God bless you. That's good. God bless you. "I've trespassed against Thy laws, O Lord. I want You to be merciful to me." God bless this man laying here in the--this cot laying here. God grant it tonight that you can go home and be well, sir.

L-42 Up in the balconies, to my right, would raise your hands... God bless you, lady. God bless you; that's good. Someone else raise your hand. Just slip up your hand, while every eye closed and everyone praying. Let it be just the Holy Spirit and I, if you will. The balconies to the--to the center here--would there be any up there would raise your hand, say, "Pray... "? God bless you, sir. God bless you. That's good. The balcony to my left, raise your hand. God bless you, lady. I... God bless you, young fellow. That's a great stand for a teen-ager. God... That's the greatest thing you ever done, son. You might've done a many a great thing, but that's the greatest.
"Pass me not, O gentle Saviour, I want Your mercies now. Now, ere my death, I want You to receive me into Your Kingdom." I don't know when that'll be... May be before the service closes tonight. Maybe before I get home..." One of these nights, somewhere, some place, some time of day or night, you're going to feel the pulse coming up your sleeve. It's all then. Oh, my, don't let it happen until you know the Lord Jesus as your own dear personal Saviour. If be another now, before we pray? Anywhere, boy, girl, man, or woman? God bless you.
