<TITLE>26. Par 190-197</TITLE>L-190 Now, tomorrow night at seven o'clock, we're taking the age of Laodicea, and that's the marriage age. I want you to come if you possibly can. I was just a little late tonight, because maybe the Holy Spirit speaking and so forth. But it's early yet, it's only about twenty minutes after nine. And usually I'm here ten or eleven o'clock, so that's really early down here. So do you enjoy the--the--the messages of the Lord? And do you really? Is it feeding your soul.
God bless you, my children. You know, I love you with all my heart. And sometimes when the Spirit gets ahold of me, It cuts both... That's the way the Word is; It's sharp like a two-edged sword. It cuts coming, going, inward, outward, every way. But that's what circumcises us. Circumcision just cuts off the surplus flesh, the things that we oughtn't to have.
Now, I want you to notice. Did you hear the Spirit on the interpretation tonight? "Stop that foolishness." That circumcises. Be sincere. We all get off the line, but God knows how to shave the bumps off of us, doesn't He? He certainly does. I'm thankful for it. Aren't you?

L-193 Are you the little pianist here? I don't see... Is Teddy... I don't see him here anywhere. Is--is this... All right, sister, if you will. Is that you're daughter, Brother Daulton? Daughter-in-law. Mighty fine little lady, so glad that you're a Christian. All right, what's our good, old dismissing song? Let's try one, just before we do now. Just a minute, sister, 'fore we sing "Take The Name Of Jesus With You."
How many knows "Don't Forget The Family Prayer"? How many prays in your family, your family prays? Oh, that's good. Let's try it once, just like old times now.
Don't forget the family prayer,
Jesus wants to meet you there;
He will take your every care,
Oh, don't forget the family prayer.
You like that? Let's try it again:
Don't forget the family prayer,
Jesus wants to meet you there; (You got a date now)
He will take your every care,
Oh, don't forget your family prayer.

L-196 [A sister says, "Brother Branham, could I say something?"--Ed.] Sure can, sister. [The sister begins speaking. Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Sister Nash, that's very fine. Oh, if you'll just...
If we trust and never doubt,
He will surely bring you out;
Just take your burden to the Lord and leave them there.
Leave them there, leave it there,
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there;
If we trust and never doubt,
He will surely bring you out;
Take your burden to the Lord and leave them there.

L-197 Don't you like them old hymns? Oh, I just... I believe them men picked up the pen and was inspired by the Holy Ghost to read that.
Like blind Fanny Crosby when them worldly people of that day tried to make her write worldly songs, said, "Why, you'll be a rich woman."
She said, "I have dedicated my life to Christ and all my talent." She was blind, you know. Said, "I--I owe my life and all to Christ." She said...
And then they kind of got peeved at her because she turned down such an opportunity. She didn't sell her birthrights like Mr. Presley and them did, but she--she maintained her integrity. So she--she... They--they left her, said, "Then when you get to heaven, if there is such a place," said, "if you're like you are here, you'll be blind." Said, "What if you are blind," said, "how would you know Him?"
She said, "I'll know Him. I'll know Him."
Said, "What if you're blind? What if you are blind?"
She said, "I'll feel for the prints of the nails." Then she turned around; she started walking back; she said:
I shall know Him, I shall know Him,
And redeemed by His side I shall stand;
I shall know Him, I shall know Him
By the prints of the nails in His hands.
