<TITLE>11. Par 32-36</TITLE>L-32 One little boy, about twelve, fourteen years old out of the whole house of people... I wonder if it's because you're all Christians and you've already accepted Him? If not, would you be just that kind to raise your hand to Him and saying, "From this time, I'll make You this promise, Lord. I feel that I ought to be Your servant. I'll raise my hand to You." Is there one, besides this young lad?
God bless you, over here, sir. That's good. Make your decision now, "And from that time..." Is there some here who can remember that once you had a sweet Christian experience, but something happened? Something took place, and from that time, you haven't felt right bef--since that time. Would you raise hand, say, "Pray for me"? God bless you. God bless you. That's--that's right. In the balconies, "From that time I..." God bless you. That's right. To anywhere around... God bless you. Yes, that's good. I'll certainly pray for you. God bless you.

L-33 Now...?... Down on the bottom floor, raise your hand and say, "I once had a sweet experience, Brother Branham, but something happened one day and from that time, I haven't felt close to God since then." Raise your hands. God bless you. That's good. He knows a honest heart. Certainly, He knows. That's it.
I'm watching, waiting. Just keep praying, every one with your heads bowed now. I'm watching someone... Just keep praying, keep your head bowed... From that time... Oh, the Lord be with you.

L-34 Our heavenly Father, we thank Thee for this young man who raised his hand tonight, and wants to become a Christian. May this be the hour, Lord, that You'll receive him into Your Kingdom. May, from this hour, he can say in the years to come (if there is a coming year), "I was down at the auditorium one night. Something strange spoke to my heart, and from that time..." I pray You'll make a missionary out of him, Father, if there is a tomorrow to missionary. And he will go to the people, and his testimony would be, "And from that night on..."
Many of these precious ones who raise their hands, that they'd once loved You, and believed You, and had a wonderful experience, but something entangled their life; from that time on, they haven't felt just right. God of heaven, make it tonight, that from this night on, they'll feel different about it. Grant it, Lord. May they receive Christ back, sweetly, humbly, into their heart tonight. Father God, grant it in Jesus' Name we pray. Amen.

L-35 Let's sing our little song now, and... We don't know what the Holy Spirit will do at our good old song now, "I Love Him." Let's have the... if you will. "I Love Him, I love Him, because He first loved me." All of us together now, while we worship Him in the song.
 I love Him, I love Him,
 Because He first loved me
 And purchased my salvation
 On Calvary's tree.
How many's Christians now, that really love Him? Raise up your hand to Him now.
 I (Just close your eyes and sing it.), I love Him,
 Because He first loved me
 And purchased my Salvation
 On Calvary's tree.
Oh, isn't He wonderful. Don't you feel real good in your heart? Just all scoured out, thinking, "From that time..."

L-36 I remember, back in a little coal shed, one night, I was so hungry for God. I went down to my own Baptist church, and the pastor said, "Come up, Billy. Give me your right hand. Turn around to the audience and tell them you--you believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God. You're a good boy." That didn't settle it.
I went down to a little Adventist Church, and they told me, I have to keep the Sabbath day, and not eat meat, and so forth. Then I... That didn't satisfy.
I went back, got me an old sack and went out in the shed, and knelt down there; and oh, my, from that time; something happened from that time. I remember, there was a sweet peace that come over my soul that, oh, it just m--meant so much to me. You know that same Jesus is here tonight. He loves us, don't you believe that?
