<TITLE>23. Par 86-89</TITLE>L-86 Come now. Why? Why are you not coming? Why? Say, "My church believes in sprinkling; my church believes something else."
I'm asking you why by the prescription that God gave. There's not another prescription in the Bible contrary to it. If there's anybody can show me a prescription contrary to that for salvation, come do it. It's not there. It's God's prescription. Why will you not...? Is there anyone here that has followed God in this order? Raise your hand. How many here has followed God in this order? Maybe all of you have.
If you haven't, then you're going to be asked at the judgment. Remember the same God that is upon me, the same Spirit telling me to ask this, and to make this challenge, says to me now, "He will ask you at the judgment which you may come before morning, why didn't you do it?" THUS SAITH THE LORD.

L-87 We can't play church no more. God is in our midst. You feel that terrible awe? Are you aware of what that is? It's the Holy Spirit calling, moving, trying to move in. Once more so I'll be sure that no blood will be upon my hands at the day of judgment. Remember I charge you before God: come.
I--I love Him...
[Congregation continues singing. Brother Branham moves away from microphone and prays for the people, the words not always distinguishable--Ed.] God, in Jesus Name...?... In the Name of Jesus Christ, may she healed. In the Name of Jesus Christ...?... In the Name of Jesus Christ...?...

L-88 Almighty God, Your promise of Your Word, may it be manifested in this my brother. May he receive the Holy Ghost in Christ's Name...?... Father God, in the Name of Jesus Christ...?... Fill my sister...?... Fill them with the Holy Ghost, Lord...?... In the Name of Jesus Christ...?... In the Name of Jesus Christ...?... as he's coming for his baptism,...?... water...?... In Jesus Christ Name...?... on my brother. May my brother receive the Holy Ghost, his faith is in You until death takes him...?... Father God, in the Name of the Lord Jesus...?... You Who are present now, may You send the Holy Ghost upon them...?...
Come, sister dear. Come, come right up. Each--each one now. Right up here so... Yes, sister. Our heavenly Father, by the anointing of the Holy Spirit, may our sister receive the Holy Ghost. As Peter went down, and prayed for them, and laid hands on them, and the Holy Ghost came on them, I pray that while she receives her water baptism, may the Holy Ghost come upon her. I pray in Jesus' Name.

L-89 Would you come forward now. Just stand real lovely and quiet just a moment. All right. Heavenly Father, as this strong looking young fellow stands here, may as the water covers him, may the Holy Spirit fill him. May he be used to Your glory, Lord. It's Your promise in Jesus' Name. Amen.
Have I missed one, someone? Laying hands on them, that's the promise. "Repent, every one of you, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost; for the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to them that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." That's the prescription. Is there another before we offer this prayer and go to the pool, that's never been baptized?
Heavenly Father, under the unction and conviction of the Presence of the Holy Spirit, this man comes with bowed head and heart...?... As he receives the water baptism, may he be filled with the Holy Ghost, in the Name of Jesus Christ.
O God, Creator of heavens and earth, Author of Everlasting Life, and Giver of ever good gift, send Thy blessing upon my sister. May she receive this blessed Holy Spirit, as she goes to the water to obey Your commandment, through Jesus Christ I ask it. Amen.
