<TITLE>04. Par 31-36</TITLE>L-31 But now, from tonight on, begin to put on your spiritual thinking (See?); let the Holy Spirit just soak it in. And then if you hear it and disagree with it, just go away and say, "Poor Brother Branham, he--he certainly doesn't know. I'm going to pray for him." And you do that, and then I'll... The Lord will make me know what's truth then, but you just sympathize with me, and don't--don't cast me away. So then that might be true also, but, oh, I'm having such a good time thinking it this way. So it's just making each end meet. And I... Oh, I--I  may be wrong; but there may be a break there somewhere that I don't know nothing about, so maybe you do, and you pray the Lord will show it to me.
And now, and above all things, keep praying one for another, and never let the devil show any bitterness anywhere. See? Keep your souls pure in this hour, for we're in the closing hours of the history of this world. See? We're at the end, friends, without one shadow of doubt.

L-33 As we come down along these church ages, we're going to find out pretty soon, and maybe a whole lot of it tonight. We're more or less backing up and getting a background where we have to close it out; and now, and tonight we reveal some real spiritual things. Remember now, I've said it, you'll have to put your spiritual thinking on. But watch the Scriptures. It's got to be in the Scriptures, and it's got to be through the Scriptures. See? Now, remember the--just the knowledge of the Word, of saying, "Well, I went to high school. I went to Bible school. I went to college." That doesn't spell nothing. All the Pharisees and Sadducees did the same thing and missed knowing Jesus by a million miles. See?

L-34 The Scriptures, the revelation of the Scriptures is hid from the eyes of the wise and prudent, and revealed to babes such as will learn. So let's you and I be babes and just unload our hearts, and say, "Lord, You--You tell us, and we--we are listening." And then catch the spiritual application. Now, remember that. Words that will be said from tonight on, catch the spiritual application, because we're coming into a great mysterious church age.

L-35 Now, I think that was all. Now, remember tomorrow night, we're on another church age each night. And I'm sure that we could have plenty of time tomorrow to run all day long on this, and then tomorrow night too. But, now, see, many of them will be working, and I'll try just get the very highlights of this message, hit the spots that's spoke of here, which you can take one of them and just keep on running it out till there's just no telling where it would go. You see? But... And then you study it out at home, and I'll be praying for you, and you be praying for me, and God bless us together as His believing children.
Now, before we start, I wonder if it wouldn't be too hard on you if we could stand.

L-36 And you know why I like to stand and pray? Jesus said, "When you stand praying, pray, 'Our Father Who art in heaven... Then forgive one another.'" You see? And then Gideon chose his army one time by the ones that stooped and bowed down and lapped the water, or the ones that stood up and got the water. You see? So the ones that fell, they'd been--been prostrating themselves before idols, and he knew they wasn't subjects to go. So the one who stood with their eye up watching all the time. That's the way we do: stand and pray. Now, I believe in kneeling and praying too; but, standing and praying, I think it just means something to us somehow. Let's bow our heads now, each heart be bowed also.
