<TITLE>06. Par 19-22</TITLE>L-19 I stepped out the door. One of those old men, drunk, setting there with her, said, "You think the rain will hurt the rhubarb?" They'd got up, and excused themselves, and walked out to the rest room. I kind of strolled over that way, and this policeman still playing the slot machine. I walked over kind of where she was at. I said, "How do you do?"
Poor old thing looked up and said, "Oh, hello."
And I said, "Could I set down?"
She said, "Thank you, I have company."
I said, "I didn't mean it like that." I said, "I just want to say a word to you. I want you to ask you... I want to ask you to forgive me."
Said, "What did you ever do to me?"
I said, "Will you wait just a minute, let me tell you?"
Said, "Yes."
I said, "I stood in the door..." And I told her the story. I said, "Right back behind there He showed me where I was wrong."
She looked up, and looked like it sobered her. She looked up, she said, "Are you Brother Branham?"
I said, "I am."
She said, "You're that minister down here."
I said, "Yes, ma'am."
She said, "I'm ashamed for you to see me like this."
I said, "Will you forgive me?"
She said, "Certainly."
She said, "Set down."
I said, "Thank you." And I set down at the little booth with her.

L-20 And she said, "I want to tell you something, Brother Branham." She said, "I passed by and seen your meetings. I seen it advertised and I went in." Said, "I'm simply ashamed of myself." She said, "What would you believe if I told you that my father was a Methodist minister?" Said, "I got two daughters. Both of them are Sunday school teachers."
I said, "What happened?" She told me about a letter from her husband, and he run off with another woman. She started in drinking, and started off... And she said, "I know I'm past redemption," strictly a legalist. You see? And I said... Said, "I'm past redemption."
I said, "No, you're not. No, you're not."
She started crying. She said, "Brother Branham, you think I'm not past redemption?"
I said, "Why did He say that to me then a few minutes ago?" I took her by the hand, knelt down there on the floor, and there she gave her life to Jesus Christ. You talk about slot machines stopping and everything else, everybody in there. We was crying and praying. She got up, went out to go home, a new life.

L-21 See, God showed me that in my own heart wasn't right, because I was trying to condemn her, and not looking at what I come from too. So we can always remember; look back to the pit where we was hewed from, things will look a lot different. See? We don't want to condemn no one. Love everybody.
Whenever you lose that real genuine love that's in your heart, you've lost everything. Just don't never forget that, that when you lose love, it's all gone.
Now, remember that, the love this little brother had for all of you. And we'll remember the love of the brethren here. Brethren, whatever you do...

L-22 I'm not saying all you organizations break up and make one organization. It'll never be that way. You'll never do it. You'll just go through life just the same old thing banging, and fussing, and stewing. That's wrong. Keep your organizations. Stay in there if you can. That's all right. But reach out an arm, and love everybody else, and have respect. Give him a little blanket too, because he wants to get covered also. It stretch far enough for all of us. "Room, room, there's plenty of room. There's room at the fountain for me." That's right. There's room for all of us. And just remember that.
