<TITLE>25. Par 83-87</TITLE>L-83 Won't you come? Let's sing once more so I'll be sure. I've just prayed all day that God would fill this place, and shake it like never before.
 The dying thief rejoiced to see...
Do you believe it now, with all your heart? Come down the aisle then. Won't you come down? Please, friend, I persuade you in Christ's Name.
 And there may I, though vile as he...
(You're as vile as he, if you deny it.)
 All my sins away.
(Come right on. That's right.)
 Washed all my sin away,
 Wash all my sins away;
 And there may I, though vile as he,
 Wash all my sins away.

L-84 You believe with all your heart? Now, let's stand still just a moment. Now, if you regard me as His servant, if you do, I appreciate it. I can help you. Now, all of you here, that's seeking God's Holy Spirit, raise up your hand. You're hungry.
Jesus said, "Blessed are they that do hunger and thirst for righteousness. They shall be filled."
Now, there's a bunch of people out in here, I want to deal with before I--we go to the room there. But I want you people here, that's seeking the Holy Ghost to follow one of these ministers. Who? Which one of you? This brother right here. Take the lead, go into the room, here just a minute. Here, go in like this: "Lord, if you don't give me the Holy Ghost, when You come back to earth, I'll be laying right here." See? Just don't--don't play with it. If you do, you'll never get nowhere. You got to mean business. You got to come to God believing that you're going to get what He... Why did--why did He say that... I said awhile ago, them people couldn't cast out that evil spirit. They said, "Why, couldn't we do it?"
He said, "Because of your unbelief."
Not, if they didn't have power to do it, but they didn't have faith to do it. Now, you're got the power to receive the Holy Ghost. You've got the Holy Ghost on you, because you're hungering and thirsting, and Jesus said, "You're blessed, because you even hunger and thirst."
Now, hear me and believe. Go right in there now, while I deal with another group here. Be in there just in a minute. All right.

L-85 Now, as you take your place right here, go right this way to a room, so we won't bother the rest of them. Sometimes, people seeking the Holy Ghost, they think somebody's back there. I brought Mr. Jones, and he's setting back there. But get you to yourself where everybody's dying with you, something's going to happen. That's right. Move right into the room.

L-86 Let's all, that's got the Holy Ghost, say, "Praise God." Look at this great...?... Look at this great power...?... Now, all of you personal workers move right in with them now, all the personal workers. Some of you ministering brethren, if you will too, go in there and--to see that everything is carried on just exactly right. We want them to receive the real baptism of the Holy Spirit. Go right in the room, so we can meet you right in here, just in a moment.
 There is a fountain filled with blood
 Drawn from Immanuel's veins,
 And sinners plunged beneath that flood,
 Lose all their guilty stains.
 Lose all their guilty stains,
 Lose all their guilty stains,
 And... (Is there another one would like to go. One more?)
 Beneath that that flood,
 Lose all their guilty stains.
Let's bow our heads now reverently. [Brother Branham hums--Ed.]
 A nobler sweeter song...?...

L-87 Now, if there's any in here, that feel that with your heads bowed, your eyes closed, that you're not a Christian. You're not a Christian. You say, "I should've went in there. But I want to raise up my hands to God, and say, "God, give me courage; don't let me die in this condition."
Friends, we're not playing church. It may seem odd to what you've been taught in your different creeds and churches, but this is the Bible. This is the way it was at the beginning, and God is infinite and cannot change. This is the same. The prescription reads, "He's the same yesterday, today, and forever."
