<TITLE>16. Par 55-58</TITLE>L-55 Now, how are we planted? We're planted in Christ Jesus. Now, I believe, just in my estimation of Him. He's the inexhaustible fountain of Life, that you cannot exhaust His goodness. Some people think, "Oh, I hate to call on God so much." That's what He wants you to do.
"You have not because you ask not. You ask not because you believe not. Ask abundantly that your joys might be full." That's what God wants: Ask big things. I'm asking for hundreds of souls in this meeting. I'm asking that every sick person enters that door will go out of here well. I'm believing it. I'm believing that till we go, that this won't be another gathering together, but it'll be a revival in Yakima here. Satan's kept me out of here long enough, and I believe the hour is here for a real sweeping revival in every church and around the country.

L-56 Went out this afternoon, went to the different places visiting amongst the people, an old straw hat on, pulled down over my face, and so forth, I--just to see the attitudes of the people. You've got fine people here; you've got something to work on. That's right. Now, what we've got to do is get to work. We're here tonight to elect our Lord Jesus as our King in our hearts, our Governor, our faith Giver, our God, our Healer, our Saviour. Elect Him in our heart and go out here now and carry it to this great election that's coming at the judgment, when He will be crowned King of king, and Lord of lords.

L-57 Now, we're living in a terrific day, but all that you have need of is already supplied to you, when you believe. So many people, today, I find, when they join church, and here especially, in America, they just become drifters. They're just--"Well, praise God, I've met Brother Branham, and I--I got saved, and I put my name on the book, and that's--that's all I done." Just drifting, we don't want to do that. You never got saved just to be a member of a church. You got saved to work. We don't dress an army up just to lay around on the corner and flirt with the girls, with pretty uniforms on. We train our army to fight. And we're not at a picnic; we're on a battle grounds. We're right here facing the enemy of our Lord Jesus, and the enemy of our souls. Let us be up and doing with a heart for any strife.
I like that Psalm of Life, "Be not like dumb driven cattle," have to drive you in a little corral somewhere and over this way, down this way. Let's be a hero.
 Lives of great men all remind us
 We can make our lives sublime,
 With partings leave behind us
 Footprints on the sands of time.
 Footprints, that perhaps another,
 While sailing over life's solemn main,
 For a forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
 In seeing our footsteps shall take heart again.
Let us do something; we're written epistles.

L-58 Now, here some time ago, a few years ago, my wife--I was in the study and she come to the door and she said, "Billy, there's a--there's a bum at the door. He wants something to eat."
I said, "Feed him. Give him something; he's a man. I don't care what he is, feed him. Divide what we got with him. Man's hungry."
She said, "I'm afraid of him."
I said, "Oh, my, open the door and tell him to get something to eat. Fix him something and give it to him."
So she fixed on the table, then called him in, then she come in the room. So I... She was a little afraid of him, because he was kinda dirty looking, and I went out and I said, "How do you do, my good man?"
He said, "How do you do."
And he was eating his dinner, and so I said, "Where you from?"
He said, "Oh, just here and there."
I said, "Where you going?"
He said, "Oh, the same thing, just here and there."
I said, "What purpose do you have in life?"
He said, "None."
