<TITLE>01. Par 1-8</TITLE>60-0911E, Five Definite Identifications Of The True Church Of The Living God, Branham Tabernacle, Jeffersonville, IN, 114 min
L-1 Thank you, Brother Neville, Lord bless you. It's certainly a privilege to be here tonight; I am so happy that God permitted us to do it. I am a little shy of cameras. I like... Go ahead, take them; that's all right. I just watch them; I'm conscious of them. And that's all right; it's all right. Now, it's rather warm. We've had two tremendous messages from the Lord.

L-2 And now, I thought tonight, seeing that many of my friends are here that has to drive a long way, some of them from way down in Kentucky... I see Brother Welch Evans and his family here from Tifton, Georgia. I met people out here from California. There's some here from Germany and different places, coming in to this one little spot to serve the Lord. And I see Sister Nellie Cox; I believe that her mother-in-law and them are here: which will perhaps go back many miles tonight in Kentucky, Georgia, down into Tennessee, up into Ohio, my friends here.
One friend here, Brother Ted Dudley, all the way from Phoenix, Arizona... There's many of them here; others, if I could just call their names, come here to visit with us today. Ninety percent of them I haven't got to even touch their hands. I see my friends from Chicago, and just all around. How many people's in here from out of town, raise your hands. Ninety percent of the audience. Now, it's made up of different friends from different churches around over the country.

L-3 And I preached a long time this morning, prayed for the sick till one-thirty, so I got just a little bit hoarse. And I have to preach a little while to kind of get in what we call second gear, before I...
There's Brother Lee Vayle, I've no more than shook his hands, one of my associates: Baptist church, Ohio.
Is that you, Ben? [Brother Ben says, "Amen"--Ed.] I hadn't heard you say, "amen" yet, or I'd have knowed you. All know Brother Ben. And I know he's out of town, so I don't know just... Where you from now, Brother Ben? ["Well, we're up at North Borden, Indiana, Brother."--Ed.] Borden, Indiana.

L-6 We're so glad to have everyone here. And now, I'm not going to keep you very long because of the tremendous miles you have to drive. Wished I could take each one of you home with me tonight. I really mean that. I got to leave at about three, between three and four o'clock in the morning, and I--I wish I could take you along.
I see my friend here from Arkansas, his wife. Aren't you the man that we--the Lord spoke to and told these things in here the other night? I thought you were. Just as I look around and see new and old friends... So God knows the intents of my heart, that I'd like to get to see you, and take you home with me, and have a good chat, but one day we'll do that where we won't have to say, "We got to hurry up. Got to pick up the children. Somebody's sick." That'll all be over then, that great day. I hope we meet many more times.

L-7 Now, it's my intention, while I'm waiting on the Lord now to find my direction... Now, Tuesday, I'm going to need prayer worse than I ever needed it in all my life. I'm going to ask you if you'll pray for me. I--I'll need your prayers. Be sure to pray for me. The way the wind turns Tuesday, may mean a great thing to me, and to the church and to the cause of Christ. So be sure to pray for me.

L-8 Now, then, until I find just which direction to go and what to do, I'm waiting on the Lord. During that time, I'll be around the Tabernacle here, in and out, preaching, praying for the sick, doing anything that I can do. We want to someday, if the government doesn't stop us, we want to build a church here, a nice church where we can have seating capacity, a main floor, and balcony, and so forth, so it'll be a real nice church, air-conditioned, so the people can set in comfort, listen to the services, if they let us do it. We hope so. Now, pray for us.
