<TITLE>20. Par 69-70</TITLE>L-69 I know that makes people hate me sometimes, but you'll love me when I meet you over yonder. I'll tell you the truth; it's a foundation. If it... No matter what it cost, that... You'll be sincere. And tell the truth. Recognize it to be God. "Be holy for I am holy," He said. Quit living in sin.
These people'd go out and drink and carry on. But one young man they noticed. That young man, he didn't carry on like that. He lived clean; at nighttime he come home and went to bed. He lived like a gentleman should live. And one day the old caretaker said, "I like to take a walk with you, son."
He said, "All right." They started up the hill, walking together towards the setting of the sun.
And he said, "Young fellow, you came over with that bunch of Americans, didn't you?"
And he said, "Yes, sir, I did."
He said, "I want to ask you something."
He said, "All right."
He said, "Why is it that you don't go out, and drink, and carry on and lay out with the girls, and things, all through the night, and come in the next morning the way they do?"
He stopped, put his arm around the old man. He said, "You see the way that sun is setting yonder in the west?"
He said, "Yes, sir, I do."
He said, "Beyond that setting of the sun, there's a certain state, in the New England states." And said, "In that certain state is a certain city. And in that certain city, is a certain house. And in that certain house, is a girl. And that girl, I vowed before I come here, to be true to her that when we--I return, we're going to be married. She made a vow to me, a promise. Therefore, sir, all of my attention is attracted, as far as it comes to women, towards that girl at that place." And he said, "I live today, for tomorrow to come." What a testimony.

L-70 What a Christian can say. Why don't you smoke? Why don't you have a little fun? Why don't you do this like the rest of them doing?
Oh, you can say, "Beyond a certain star, there's a certain city. And in that certain city is a certain Person. Hallelujah. Oh, I live for Him, for He died for me. And someday He's coming. And I live for that Life that is to come."
Oh, brother, believe me; I tell you the truth. I tell you what is the truth. God knows that I'm telling you the truth. You just believe me with all your heart. Maybe you can't understand this about the coming of the Lord, and the carnal church, and so forth. And i...
Some of you, right from this state, wrote me a letter and said, "When the anointing is on you, you can discern spirits." Said, "Then, of course, we, then we believe you're a prophet." (Now, I never said I was a prophet. You said so. See?) But you say, but then you say, "But in your teaching, Brother Branham, about all that fantasticism about receiving the Holy Ghost, and all this stuff, and living, we can't believe that. And all this other stuff about you were eternally before the world, elected, and..." That's what the Bible said you was. I never had nothing to say about it. The Bible said that. I'm just saying what the Bible said. Yes, sir.
